|Wednesday, October 24, 2012, 10:11:36 PM- Real?
You hear lots of "stuff" about how people are always somebody else when they are online and they hide behind a persona that they pretend to be. I have started wondering how true this actually is these days. Modern times mean people don't really get to interact with each other in quite the same way they used to years ago and people these days have so many new ways to come into contact with each other and upset each other in the same way!
Couldn't it be closer to the truth to say that we are getting more to the heart of each other by cutting out the face to face interaction. I remember hearing something said years ago, that if you had a problem saying something to somebody face to face then just write them a letter. Now isn't that just what the internet is but only on a grander scale....Lots of letters written to lots of other people.
This blog is about nothing in particular, just some observations from chatting with people online and meeting many different personalities at different times, but there has just been a few things I have witnessed lately that made me wonder about what is the true reflection of people..
Probably being a bit deeper than I have ever had any reason to be!!
|Sunday, October 21, 2012, 3:40:34 PM-
So I have been off work all week and although I planned to get loads of stuff done around here, I really got not much done at all. I ended up going out for lunch twice through the week which ended up being lunch and then a whole day out afterwards. Then yesterday I met my mum for lunch and then had dinner out with the kids at night.
So, I am looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow so I can get back onto the diet and cut out the drink again..... Just as well that I only booked one week off because I think 2 weeks may have killed me :)
|Thursday, October 18, 2012, 11:49:08 PM- I am still cool!
So, my daughter asked me tonight if she could have friends stay over...and being the great parent that I am I said yes since I am on holiday too and we have nothing much planned for tomorrow....
So I sat in the living room with them for an hour or so earlier before I decided I wanted some peace and quiet time....So I left and went and sat in my room for a bit. "A bit" lasted about 3 and a half minutes before one of my daughter's friends came through to talk to me about stuff that was happening at school, closely followed by another one of them then the last 2 which included my daughter.
Before I knew it we were all sitting in my room having a good old giggle and laugh and it was nice and amusing for a while....
But ffs ladies...yeah I am at the point where I know that in a few years I am going to miss all this, but I do still need to have my own little space sometimes, lol
Loving it and stressing at the same time....Is that normal?
|Sunday, October 07, 2012, 10:34:44 PM-
I need there to be an extra day inserted into the week. 7 days just isn't enough lately to get everything done. I think just one extra little day...(and it would have to be a non-working day) would pretty much cover it for giving me enough time to get all the things done that are just at the really annoying stage now.....
And, it's always when you are laying in bed on a Sunday night that you remember half a dozen things that should have been done for Monday morning......
I really need to get more organized, or hire some help
|Monday, September 24, 2012, 8:19:20 PM-
Today was a day I have not been looking forward to at my work. I was getting thrown in the deep end work-wise and because of that I hardly slept last night for worrying about it. So when I arrived at work and the first problem being that I had changed bags at the weekend and my parking pass was in my other bag!! :( It was not a good start to the day... I had to abandon my car quite a bit away and run to work on foot to get there on time....
Then I came across this little guy/girl. He/she walked right up to me, stopped and did this...
It made me stop and smile for a split second before running on to face my day :)
|Monday, September 17, 2012, 7:33:55 PM- This is very cool!!
One way to make burning calories more fun :)
|Friday, September 14, 2012, 5:45:50 PM- Pheeeewwwww
What a week!! But it's Friday now and I am home from work and the sun is still out... Life doesn't really get much better than that right now!! Lol, I know I need to get out more obviously ;)
I am determined to get out and do something half exciting this weekend, ideas can be submitted below :P I feel like putting my walking boots on and maybe taking a walk up a big hill although that's not so clever since I can walk up hills but have a weird knee that isn't so good at coming back down again... Always interesting having to sideways shuffle down the steep bits though, lol
Anything that doesn't involve cleaning, cooking, or washing will probably be an improvement from my last few weekends though :D
|Sunday, September 09, 2012, 3:20:29 PM-
Well considering how ill I was this morning, I have actually had quite a productive day.
I started re-arranging my bedroom this morning before realizing the true extent of my hangover from last night.... I managed to move the bed and then clear a space to collapse on which is pretty much where the next couple of hours were spent, all hot and sweaty and not the fun way to get hot and sweaty in bed.
After a few hours of self-pity I gave myself a kick up the bum and managed to get down to the shops to buy stuff for tonight's dinner, which I seem to be cooking for half the town again!! Then I braved the "room" again, which I had almost done I thought till I looked around and realized that I can't actually see my bed at the moment....Not good :(
So apart from that, pictures hung and new curtains hung too....
Now all I need to find is a bed for the night because I officially give up for today :D
phewwwww xx
|Thursday, August 30, 2012, 9:33:41 PM- AA Rescue..
Always wear clean underwear in public, especially when working under your vehicle as a Leicester couple learned having driven to ASDA and then having their car breaking down.
The man told his wife to continue shopping while he fixed the car. Later the wife returned to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of hairy legs protruding from under the chassis. Unfortunately, the man was wearing shorts, and with his lack of underpants his private parts were now glaringly public ones!!
Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand up his shorts, and tucking everything back into place again. On regaining her feet, she looked across the bonnet and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by watching her.
The AA mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his forehead.
|Wednesday, August 29, 2012, 10:48:35 PM-
A funny because I am tired of drama and stress!
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. A...fter a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbour," she replies.
"Great!" the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"

"Every team is aware of the massive improvements they can make to their cars"
Giovanni Malago says it is unlikely Ferrari will recover from its competitive slump within the 2014 season.

Sauber will reveal its 2013 car, the C32, in the days before it makes its track debut at the start of winter testing.
Team founder Peter Sauber had already announced that the new Ferrari-powered single seater will run for the first time at Jerez on February 5. The Swiss team on Thursday invited the media to an official launch event at its Hinwil headquarters, on 2 February.
Jun 20
2012 has been described as 'topsy-turvy' and a 'lottery' that has ended the domination of formula one's usual greats.
But according to a detailed analysis by Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, F1′s old guard is still at the very top of the timesheets. The analysis shows that McLaren and Red Bull, respectively, have been the best teams overall when it comes to pace in the all-out 'Q2′ qualifying segment, and the actual grands prix.
Apr 04
Fernando Alonso's win was a complete surprise, but the name of another team was on more paddock-dwellers' lips after Malaysia — Sauber.
"Only one team could do consistently good laptimes on all the tyres and in all the conditions, and it was Sauber," confirmed Martin Whitmarsh, whose McLaren team had travelled to Sepang with arguably the fastest car.

Sauber on Monday joined the growing 'stepped nose' club by revealing its C31.
The Swiss team's new Ferrari-powered car – boasting a modified grey, white and red livery – was revealed at Jerez before its initial laps "for filming purposess" ahead of the opening pre-season test.
Jan 20
According to new rules this year, the car is therefore now fit to test at Jerez from 7 February.
Toro Rosso has announced that its 2012 car will be ready to run on the opening day of official testing at Jerez next month. Red Bull's Italian-based rookie team said the Ferrari-powered TR7 passed the last of the FIA's mandatory crash tests on Thursday.

Hinwil based Sauber has retained 2011 drivers Kamui Kobayashi and Sergio Perez for next season.
Sauber on Friday revealed that its 2012 car will be ready for the first test of the pre-season.The Swiss team announced in a statement that the Ferrari-powered C31 will be launched at Jerez on 6 February, the day before the start of the official group test at the southern Spanish circuit.
Jul 11
Ferrari and Sauber brought an end to the exhaust blowing saga that marred the British grand prix weekend.
The teams rowed at Silverstone about the FIA's clampdown and how it could be equitably applied to the four engine manufacturer's distinct V8 engines. Ultimately, Charlie Whiting proposed to scrap the clampdown and simply revert to the Valencia setup, where changing engine settings between qualifying and the race were banned but off-throttle blowing was unrestricted.
Apr 12
Perez's 'Chassis 01′ is currently en route from Kuala Lumpur to Hinwil
Sauber rookie Sergio Perez will have a brand new C30 at his disposal in China after his original car was heavily damaged in Malaysia. There is only a few days between the Sepang race and opening practice this Friday in Shanghai, but Mexican Perez's 'Chassis 01′ is currently en route from Kuala Lumpur to Hinwil.

The housing market is healing, a ""Capital Economics"":http://www.capitaleconomics.com/ report stated, but the road to recovery will be a long and gradual one. The research firm expects to see home sales and homebuilding continue with increases, while house prices are expected to finally stop falling later this year.[IMAGE]
While certain areas of the housing market appear to be moving in a positive direction, Capital Economics still points out that with growth come constraints.
Here are excerpts of issues and explanations analyzed in the report.
""It is hard to believe that events in Europe will not contribute to keeping U.S. growth relatively low by historical standards.""
""Perhaps more importantly the US is not immune to a big external shock, namely the danger that Greece defaults and leaves the euro-zone. This would then lead to speculation that other euro-zone countries would follow suit. Even if the euro-zone remained intact, the austerity required would drive the region into a deep recession, causing a sharp drop in US exports.""
_Lending standards_
""The Fed's latest Senior Loan Officer survey is worrying as it suggests that in response to the crisis in Europe, some banks in the US have already started to tighten lending standards for businesses once again.""
""More importantly, with over 30 percent of purchases currently being cancelled each month, a third of which is due to problems getting a mortgage, it is clear that overall lending conditions remain strict.""[COLUMN_BREAK]
_Housing supply_
""The excess supply has continued to diminish at a dramatic rate. But supply is unlikely to fall much further when the recent robo-signing mortgage settlement means that many foreclosures could soon be released onto the market.""
""However, we estimate that there are still four million homes in the so-called shadow inventory. At some point, the bulk of these will be put up for sale. Of course, all these foreclosures won't come onto the market at once. But although they may not boost supply, they will certainly prevent it from falling much further.""
While there are factors hindering growth, the report highlights areas encouraging restoration in the housing sector.
_Home sales_
""The abundance of heavily-discounted foreclosed homes means that the rebound in sales of existing homes will continue to be stronger than for new homes.""
""The 13 percent rise in existing home sales in the six months to January confirms that a gradual
recovery in housing demand is underway. Even the new homes market has started to get
in on the action, with new sales rising by 11 percent in the last five months. In contrast to 2010, this improvement is not being driven by temporary tax breaks.""
""And the recent run of better news on jobs, which culminated in the 257,000 gain in private payrolls in January, suggests that the labor market may have finally turned a corner.""
_Mortgage rates_
""Our forecast that 30-year mortgage rates will remain close to the current record low of 4.1 percent, if not fall a little further, contrasts with other views that rates will rebound to above 5 percent.""
""Indeed, if mortgage rates were to fall a little lower, then the monthly interest and principal payment would decline to a new record low of 11 percent of the median income. That would be down from 25 percent six years ago. Even if mortgage rates were to rise above 5 percent, the initial monthly payment would still not be much of a burden.""
Even with greater affordability due to lower rates and dropping home prices, Capital Economics states that the lingering problem is that many households are unable to take advantage.

Research Director
Among several retailers of various types and sizes, the story was the same: Thanks to the consumer's growing tendency to shop more online, their web sales last year grew at a much faster rate than total sales.
Abercrombie & Fitch Co., for example, closed U.S. stores and suffered a drop in profits in 2011, while e-commerce surged for the multichannel retailer of apparel and accessories for younger shoppers. For the fiscal year ended Jan. 29, 2012, Abercrombie's e-commerce sales (including shipping and handling fees) surged 36.1% to $552.6 million from $406 million in 2010, as its total sales grew 19.9% to $4.16 billion from $3.47 billion. The company also closed 71 U.S. stores and opened 47 in foreign markets.
The web accounted for 21.2% of the growth for Abercrombie & Fitch in the past fiscal year, although it represented only 13.3% of sales. Much the same was true for rival retail chain Urban Outfitters Inc. where direct sales (which mostly take place online but also include some catalog sales) accounted for 28.4% of growth, although they were only 20.4% of sales.
Urban Outfitters reported that direct sales rose 16.4% to $504.9 million for the year ended Jan. 31, up from $433.8 million the prior year, as total sales rose 11.3% to $2.47 billion from $2.22 billion and same-store sales decreased 4%. "We remain especially excited about the opportunities surrounding this channel," CEO Richard Hayne says.
Web sales last year at retail chain Kohl's Corp. grew 37.2% to about $1.02 billion, up from $743.4 million in 2010. (Total sales figures were not available at press time.)
Bucking the trend
One retailer that headed in the opposite direction last year was bed maker Select Comfort Corp., where web sales dipped 1.1% year over year to $64.7 million from $65.4 million, as total sales grew 22.7% to $743.2 million from $605.7 million. Shipments of large items like beds, of course, are always a challenge for online retailers, though even Select Comfort's web sales grew 15.0% in the fourth quarter to $17.6 million from $15.3 million in the year-earlier quarter, as total sales increased 26.8% to $189 million from $149 million.

Jones retirement watch: Braves 3B mum
Updated: June 16, 2010, 6:38 PM ETAssociated Press
ATLANTA -- Call it Day 2 of the Chipper Jones retirement watch.
The Atlanta Braves' third baseman said Wednesday he's still not ready to announce whether he'll call it a career after the season.
"There's no change," he said, standing at his clubhouse locker before batting practice. "After all the courtesy that I've given [the media] over the years, I would hope that I would be given the same courtesy to kind of do this in my own time, in my own way. That's that."

WORTH Program
WORTH and Social Change partnered to bring eye glasses into the jail. Toni Dorenda, Director of WORTH, contacted the Sherriff to receive approval to bring glasses to WORTH's Tuesday classes. Glasses help the participants see the curriculum and read the handouts during WORTH volunteer visits. Have you heard of Orange is the New Black-a new series that's been stirring up the media? YWCA presents the first of a 2-part series about the show in this month's newsletter.
Social Change Program
Michelle Hurdle-Bradford, Director of Social Change, sponsored 10 pairs of glasses for the WORTH Program. Hurdle-Bradford visited the jail to teach incarcerated women about personal values, judgment, bullying and white privilege the day the glasses were distributed. "To see the smile on their faces when they could borrow a pair of glasses to see the curriculum was worth more than gold. The participants can not only listen to the training but they can read the handouts too."
Sexual Assault Program
On February 11th the SA Program attended Lobby Day in Olympia to advocate for survivors of sexual assault. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and the SA Program will once again welcome renowned speaker Cory Jewel Jensen on April 1st and will be hosting an Art Show at YWCA on April 21st. Details of these events will be released later this month. Follow us on Facebook or call 360-906-9156 for more information. Finally, the SA Program continues to offer free groups and classes to the public including the Latina Women's Group, Women's Healing Group and the Where We Live series which focuses on awareness and prevention.
SafeChoice Domestic Violence Program
SafeChoice is happy to welcome Jennifer Anderson, the new Shelter Manager to the team. Jennifer has several years of supervisory experience with both Child Protective Services and Education Services District 112. In addition, members of the SafeChoice Program attended Lobby Day in Olympia on February 4th and advocated with the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV) for the enhancement of protection orders by enforcing firearm prohibition for abusers, maintaining funding for domestic violence shelter and legal advocacy, and maintaining basic safety net programs which support survivors. WSCADV's legislative agenda can be found through the public policy link on their website. SafeChoice is also implementing a new support group for shelter residents starting in March. Learn more in this month's newsletter.
Y's Care Children's Program
Y's Care recently offered a 3-week parenting class to guardians of Y's Care children. The free class included meals and childcare. The Seeds of Empathy program is in its 3rd year and continues to be a great success. This wonderful program centers around a baby and parent who visit regularly, teaches preschoolers perspective on identifying and labeling feelings. Y's Care loves community engagement and created aparticipatory experience for students by partnering with Tears of Joy Theater based in Portland.
Clark County CASA Program
CASA welcomes 23 new volunteer advocates to their team. With this influx of advocates, CASA is able to serve approximately 69 more children. Also, YWCA and CASA welcome Kelsey LeBrun Keswani as the new Director of CASA. Kelsey has over 13 years of experience working in the field of social services. She has a breadth of experience ranging from building a national program serving unaccompanied refugee minors to volunteering with the Peace Corps in the Ukraine.
Independent Living Skills
Youth in our Independent Living Skills Program visited Olympia on February 14 alongside the Mocking Bird Society to advocate for the rights of foster youth and teens. This year they focused on Extended Foster Care (SB 6101/HB 2335), Prudent parent Standard (SB 6479/ HB 2699) and Legal Representation for Foster Youth (SB 6126/HB 1285)

Greeks Pass Painful Measures
The Greek parliament approved a painful set of austerity measures on Thursday, defying violent protests in central Athens and a general strike that shut down much of the country.
The struggling government of Socialist Prime Minister George Papandreou won the parliamentary vote with 154 votes in favour and 144 against, despite the decision by one deputy in the ruling party to oppose one article in the package.
The victory should ensure the European Union and International Monetary Fund release a vital 8-billion euro ($11-billion) loan tranche, which the government needs to keep paying its bills past November.
The mix of deep pay and pension cuts, tax hikes and changes to collective bargaining agreements has been bitterly opposed and at least 70,000 people joined protests in Athens' Syntagma Square in front of parliament.
Groups of black-clad youths clashed with rivals from PAME, a communist-affiliated labour group, and police later cleared the square.
At least 74 people were taken to hospital with injuries and one man died of a heart attack on the fringes of the protest, but officials said he had not been hurt in the incidents.
Papandreou now flies to Brussels for a meeting of European leaders on Sunday to try to prevent the debt crisis spinning out of control. A second summit is also expected to be held on Wednesday.
"We are at a critical point, not only for us but for European history.
"I have never, in my memory, heard before from leaders of major European countries that there is danger of Europe coming apart," Papandreou told a cabinet meeting before the vote.
"It is time for all of us now to assume our collective responsibility."
As night fell, streets were strewn with garbage and debris after hours of sporadic clashes but the square in front of parliament was cleared of demonstrators.
The head of the Greek Communist party, Aleka Papariga, condemned the violence, which she said had been deliberately provoked by groups of "hood-wearers."
"This was a pre-meditated attack," she told reporters, saying the rioters served the interests of what she termed "specific mechanisms."
"No matter what happens, we're not leaving," she said. "There's no other way out, people have to take the situation into their own hands."
With Greece reeling from three years of recession and a mountainous public debt which has shut it out of bond markets, Papandreou's government is trapped between lenders demanding tougher action and public anger at the cuts.
Hostility to the new austerity measures has also imposed a severe strain on the ruling PASOK party and Papandreou expelled Louka Katseli, a close family friend, after she voted against an article in the bill restricting collective wage agreements.
"Today's vote is not a matter of party discipline, it's an issue of national responsibility," Papandreou said in a letter read out by the house speaker.
Two other deputies who had threatened to rebel bowed to pressure from party leaders but deep unease remained at measures many feel punish the weak and will only drive the stricken economy further into the ground. "I will vote in favour, but this is the last time - I am struggling with my conscience," said Vasso Papandreou, one of the dissenters who decided to go along with the package.
"Enough is enough, society is despairing, the country is collapsing," she said to applause from other PASOK deputies.
The general strike called by unions representing around half the Greek workforce was one of the largest protests since the start of the crisis two years ago and brought more than 100,000 people to the streets on Wednesday.
There has been widespread speculation the government will fall early, forcing an election before the scheduled date in 2013, but Papandreou has repeatedly ruled out stepping down early.
Banks, schools and government buildings were closed, transport services were hit and hospitals ran on skeleton staffing on Thursday and unions have vowed to continue their opposition with further stoppages.

It's become clear that the Greek government (just like ours) does not represent the people that it governs. Instead it bows to a ruling monetary elite. The people there should have stormed the Parliament and cleared the floor of anyone who would vote for this austerity. This is so similar to when Congress voted for the bailout even though the people were against it 100 to 1. These arrogant assholes think they know better than the people who supposedly put them there.
Although viewing the Greek and EU political/financial crisis from a self-perceived "objective" stance, events over the last several days are leading me to consider the possibility of revolution in at least Greece. As for the other members of the obscenely designated PIIGS, we shall have to see. Most certainly driving the demonstrations is, as you indicate, "the Greek government (just like ours) does not represent the people that it governs. Instead it bows to a ruling monetary elite." And, indeed, as you go on to assert, "The people there should have stormed the Parliament and cleared the floor of anyone who would vote for this austerity." Whether or not "The people . . . should have stormed the Parliament and cleared the floor of anyone who would vote for this austerity," what has been going through my thoughts is the distinct possibility of this happening. Never before in my life has the potential of such an effectively revolutionary act occurring in a European country been so palpable.
Hard to imagine revolution in Greece, where most of the guns are in the hands of security forces and a proudly fascist military.
And of course The US/NATO would support the fascist military.
Sure is a powerful argument against gun control.
Depends on the country. It's neither here nor there in the USA, where most of the guns in private hands belonging to various radical right-wingers, and most of the rest to drug lords and their gangs. I believe that a few thousand Vermonters are statistically insignificant.
"most of the guns in private hands belonging to various radical right-wingers, and most of the rest to drug lords and their gangs."
I think you underestimate the number of non-right wing gun owners. Sure, the vast majority of the activist left don't own guns, but they aare in no sense the majority of the masses.
Disturbing to me is relatives in Nevada and California, who I never would have thought of possessing a gun, now have guns. In both cases, home break-ins have risen to such an extent, presumably because of the economy, my relatives have acquired the weapons for home defense. How many more progressives have guns because of the miserable state of affairs the 1% have created?
"Democracy" is one of those wonderful words they use to hypnotize the masses into believing they're in charge. But the people are not in charge. The day will come when this period is studied as an example of how a sophisticated dictatorship can masquerade as a democracy for an extended period. You can fool a lot of the people a lot of the time. Orwell would have understood ...
Clearly, were not in charge. The congress and the rest of out so called democraticly elected leaders have made that abundantly clear the last 30 yrs in steps, first they moved the factories and other means of production off-shore! next they quietly but disively opened the borders to every drug-runner pimp and poor-peasant with no skiills and no ambitution except wanting to move to the golden shores of america, Evpecting A Home, a Car and a Check in that order. All this of course lead to more and more creative ways to expand the economy to feed and please al those masses wanting to breath free. Then to all the elites surprise the whole thing tumbled down like a house of cards.. We're just suposed to knuckle down,, suckup our dreams and slave 24/7 to bail them out! And if you don't like it they have plenty of heavly armed storm troopers to make you take it! >^^<
People of privilege will always risk their complete destruction rather than surrender any material part of their advantage.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Great quote. The failure to understand this basic fact makes many people wrongly believe that the power elite will alleviate the problems they caused because the collapse of society would threaten their own wealth and power.
Brilliant quote ezeflyer! Lets hope they have over-risked this time. Oh wait, its all the fault of the "hood-wearers," silly me.
It would appear that the global experiment has failed. In who's interest is it, that we ignore this fact?
Greece, Ireland, Spain, etc. would be better off today had they tended to their national/local interests and refused to cater to and protect those of multinational financial and corporate interests, who have no national allegiances. They have no sense of local pride or compassion. Their sole purpose in life is profit at any cost to those they exploit. The neanderthals probably disappeared because they bought into a scheme like the G20. They probably agreed to allowing a small band of pretty "modern man" to decide on who got a place at the fire and who got fed first.
I only pray this time Europe melts down,, We stay the hell out of it!!! Two major wars the last century alone should be enough to show the hard-headedist War Freak that spilling our blood over there is not only a waste but a CRIME! The elites over there were with few exceptions what all our grand parents were trying to get the hell away from!! >^^<
The violent ones take advantage of peaceful protesters and pacifists, as this photo shows.
What is one to do?
Well, you either keep protesting, or you don't. Your choice.
In this case the "black-clad" hooded ones attacked PAME, the communist affiliated workers' front. What was their agenda?
From their tactics, Id say their plan was to make the Fasicst-Police consider if they were well paid enough to put their lives ahead of their neighbors, in favor of the selfish old men who were passing out pain while clearly taking no cuts them selves.
I guess they were, but for how much longer till the dogs turn on their paymasters?
"the "black-clad" hooded ones attacked PAME, the communist affiliated workers' front. "
I read that also and thought "they are paid by Corporate" to masquerade as anarchists and attack socialists to sow decension amongst the people. Also the violence and CHAOS will alienate moderate Greeks and stop them from joining in the protests.
A SETUP in otherwords and to be expected.
It has been done before.
As a student of history, I suspect that until we see fire in our own streets there will be no change that we can believe in. (IMHO)
Greece has a communist party - the next election should be interesting... I'm thinking a lot of Greeks are pissed off enough to vote for them - that would bend some neo-con brains.
I don't see Greece having another election, until the current bunch is brought down by force. Look what they have to lose if they allow an election??
At Protests:
Wear long pants, tough jeans preferred.
Sturdy boots, steel toes preferred.
Long Sleeve flannel shirts.
Wear a bandana around your neck which can be used to cover the mouth in case tear gas and/or pepper spray is used.
Helmets? Optional but a hat or cap is mandatory.
Goggles are probably a good idea to carry in case of gas/pepper spray.
Knee Pads found at the hardware store may be carried to protect your knees.
Ear plugs, OSHA approved in case sound devices are used. You do like our hearing don't you?
"specific mechanisms."?
Operation Gladio (aka. "stay behind armies"):
The origin of Gladio can be traced to the so-called "secret anti-Communist NATO protocols", which were allegedly protocols committing the secret services of NATO member states to work to prevent communist parties from coming to power in Western Europe. According to the Italian researcher Mario Coglitore, the protocols required member states to guarantee alignment with the Western block "by any means". According to US journalist Arthur Rowse, a secret clause exists in the North Atlantic Treaty requiring candidate countries, before joining NATO, to establish clandestine citizen cadres standing ready to eliminate communist cells during any national emergency. These clandestine cadres were to be controlled by the country's respective security services.
Its clandestine "cells" were to stay behind (hence the name) in enemy controlled territory and to act as resistance movements, conducting sabotage, guerrilla warfare and assassinations.
...Andreas Papandreou [George Papandreou's father] returned to Greece, where he won the 1981 election for Prime minister, forming the first socialist government of Greece's post-war history. According to his own testimony, he discovered the existence of the secret NATO army, then codenamed "Red Sheepskin", as acting prime minister in 1984 and had given orders to dissolve it. Following Giulio Andreotti's revelations in 1990, the Greek defence minister confirmed that a branch of the network, known as Operation Sheepskin, operated in his country until 1988. The socialist opposition called for a parliamentary investigation into the secret army and its alleged link to terrorism and the 1967 coup d'état. Public order minister Yannis Vassiliadis declared that there was no need to investigate such "fantasies" as "Sheepskin was one of 50 NATO plans which foresaw that when a country was occupied by an enemy there should be an organised resistance. It foresaw arms caches and officers who would form the nucleus of a guerilla war. In other words, it was a nationally justifiable act."
thank you for the link and the background.
when i quickly glanced at the photo i was confused. after reading the remarks in the comments, at least i can comprehend ...
{The head of the Greek Communist party, Aleka Papariga, condemned the violence, which she said had been deliberately provoked by groups of "hood-wearers."
"This was a per-meditated attack," she told reporters, saying the rioters served the interests of what she termed "specific mechanisms."}
although "specific mechanisms" can serve several functions - police crackdown on all demonstrators while de-legitimizing the real left in the public square, before upcoming elections as the socialist party collapses - creating an opening for real fascists, neo-liberal fascists all supported by the military.
the difference between millionairess and handicap people is that the former want to live off other people's work and the latter have to

Gawker's Max Read tried to set up a Zazzle store to sell t-shirts with the logo of the NSA Prism program, recently outed in a set of spectacular leaks in the Guardian and Washington Post. His store was short-lived; a copyright complaint from an unnamed party shut it down. He has researched possible copyright holders for the image, and found one candidate: Adam Hart-Davis, known for presenting BBC science-shows, who made the underlying image of a prism splitting a light-beam available on his website as a low-rez image. However, he is on vacation and is unlikely to have generated the takedown.
A British Television Host Took the Photo Used in the NSA PRISM Logo (via Super Punch)
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I'd guess whatever record company currently owns the rights to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.

This prism doesn't look at all like the Pink Floyd prism; it looks like an actual 3-D glass prism. (Not that that would stop a record company, of course :-)

Probably a bogus complaint from someone else who had the same idea.

Boundegar says:
It seems like any more it doesn't matter who generated the takedown. It could be some six-year-old felon, it's still treated as valid, unless Read can
- find the sender of the notice.
- demonstrate they don't actually hold the rights.
- get somebody at Zazzle to give a damn, enough to risk their job if Read is wrong.
One hell of a burden of proof, especially when trolls can run shell companies within shell companies.
Nathan Hornby says:
Seems like a dumb way to police it. Maybe if anonymous issued a takedown request for every item in the store, maybe that would encourage them to consider a sensible policy.
Boundegar says:
I've often wondered if the answer might be flooding the system with thousands of bogus notices for Sony's entire catalog, for example. At what point would the powers decide the system is broken?

Nah, they'd just say you broke it, then sue you/lock you up.

Tribune says:
So God is sending Zazzle takedown orders?
Dan Morrison says:
That was .. disconcerting.
I followed that link. The image was too small to read. My browser showed a magnifying glass so I clicked. Something happened but it was still too small to read. I clicked magnify again and … I ended up looking at a fat guy in a pond with a ukulele.
Hail Eris!
Andrew Singleton says:
Increase magnification.
Pip_R_Lagenta says:
Flickr continues to have some user interface design issues. However, the text of the of the letter from Zazzle that is in the image is also reprinted in the "description" below the image (which, on my computer, is inconveniently off screen so that I must scroll down to see it). Additionally, you can "right click" on the image and choose a larger image.
But if you *like* the fat guy by the pond with the ukulele, I have a video here: http://youtu.be/zvYEv5EjJzE

So Adam Hart-Davis might be a front for the NSA? I always thought it was a bit suspicious how he used to cycle all over the country covering, "local history".
Gilbert Wham says:
As an aside, why is he not on telly any more? He's mint.
euansmith says:
Indeed I used to really look forward to his "Local Heroes" series. Maybe his work here is done and he has returned to his Controller for fresh instructions.

Understanding and Training a Newfoundland
A sweet natured breed that can be mildly stubborn, yet very responsive to training. Female Newfoundlands are known to be especially willing to please.
Exercise patience while training and praise with much encouragement. Avoid any harsh punishment or excessive jerking on the lead, as this just makes the dog shy - also remember that this is a big dog that takes time to move: Be patient.
This is a hard working breed that is happy to have a job. Combine exercise, training and bonding into your activities and offer powerful rewards such as hauling, pulling and games (or just rewards) that involve swimming or anything with water.
Although the Newfoundland thrives in the outdoors, this is not a backyard breed, as they are sociable and devoted to their owners. As a giant breed, it is important to both socialise and assume strong leadership in order to include & integrate this dog in a fulfilling life that includes a variety of outdoor exposure.
Breed Name: Newfoundland
Domestic Dog Group:

I rather have someone who puts thier own money where thier mouth is than someone who takes money from special interests and then is beholden to them when the time comes to vote on legislation... think about it.....
Peter Hamm July 20, 2012 at 04:43 AM
Then I guess it's good that Christopher Shays sponsored the Shays-Meehan Campaign Finance legislation that eliminated this type of money in politics until the Supreme Court shot it down.
Concerned Parent July 20, 2012 at 12:35 PM
Wake up people...There are a lot of Americans who are out of work, some of which who have gone in foreclosure. And with this, people focus on one individual financial status. Jealously is a dangerous vice, it closes peoples' minds to those things that truly need to be addressed. Issues that will have long term affects on our children.

The problem is the manner in which they collect these statistics. In reality, they would not even look into the matter, as they never did prior to the great depression. They only account for people who are looking to collect their unemployment compensation, a structure which was set up for another era. In many regards, such funds should not be managed by a government department, as there are great inefficiencies in not just philosophy but practice. The unemployment rate in fact is probably 13% and that does not take into consideration the multitudes of people who earn hourly rates at minimum wage or less. An economy cannot function if people of their own initiative cannot find employment easily or are not earning a substantial income to pay the rising costs. Government is no longer suited to manage either the unemployment compensation funds (which is the money that workers and businesses contribute as a benefit of employment) nor the filling of these positions, which low end middle men have taken over the function of which with these staffing agencies.

I watched the debate Wednesday night. Am I the only one of Chris Shays? He keeps saying that we need his 22 years experience in Congress. I think that was taken into consideration when he was voted out. Chris voted for cap and trade. Card check. Even partial birth abortion, a radical position. I used to be a Chris Shays fan. But I now think he's part of the problem. I won't vote for Chris Murphy either. Linda McMahon's company employees over 600 people in CT. I'm not a fan of the type of business, but we need more job creators. I'm willing to give Linda McMahon a shot.

Linda has my vote, the money that she has, she has earned it. She has gone through foreclosure and bankruptcy and made it through by working hard and pushing ahead. Opportunities have come her way and she has been to capitalize on them. I have yet to receive one mailer from Linda asking for my financial support like other candidates. She strongly believes, she can make a difference. In case you are wondering, I am not involved in her campaign but did have an opportunity to listen to her story and her plan. Linda at least has a plan, do take a look: http://www.lindasplan.com/ Reviving the Economy: Linda's Plan to Put America Back to Work

"[...] the unemployment compensation funds (which is the money that workers and businesses contribute as a benefit of employment) [...]" A bit of clarification is needed: workers DO NOT contribute to unemployment compensation funds. Employers are SOLELY responsible for the taxes paid to State and Federal unemployment funds. There is no employee deduction. Unemployment funds are one of the many employment taxes wage earners take for granted because they are not aware of the cost. Form W-2 lists Social Security and Medicare amounts withheld from wages, but fails to list the benefits paid by the employer. Generally, Social Security and Medicare benefits paid by the employer are equal to the amount paid by the employee and are in addition to the amount paid by the employee. Employees benefit by an additional 7.65% of their wages up to $110100.00; 1.45% on wages beyond that. Their unemployment compensation benefit cost varies by State and is in addition to all the above.

@Tanya, "I have yet to receive one mailer from Linda asking for my financial support like other candidates." I can honestly say I haven't either, unless it somehow was tossed into the trash before I could check. I have received literature from Chris Murphy, however, paid for at taxpayer expense. Pow.

Linda McMahon is all icing and no cupcake. She speaks in platitudes and generalities. She hires consultants to tell her what to say. As to her plan, 1. We need across the board tax cuts. McMahon talks about middle class. She is continuing the class warfare crap the Democrats do. This is political pandering. 2. 25% income tax on businesses is too high. 3. Linda does not even touch the surface of the problem with regulation. Which unconstitutional federal agencies will she cut? EPA, Dept of Energy, Dept of Education (which does ZERO to educate our kids). 4. This item does not even address the big problems of Social Security and Medicare. 5. It is not the government's job to create jobs. Government should only remove barriers. The worst part of her website is that what will you save page. This is exactly what is wrong with politicians like Linda. Give benefits to a majority of people and buy their votes. I guess that is all she knows in buying support because she has been buying off insiders in the GOP for 3 years.

Indian Valley residents who pay for water and wastewater have not paid their bills to the tune of about $50,000.
Some homes have even had the water shut off for up to three months, and still the bills are not being paid.
For May, about 30 percent of the bills had not been paid by the time June bills went out.
The percentage seems to fit with the income survey started about two years ago: 71 percent of Greenville residents are at or below poverty level.
Indian Valley Community Services District directors discussed this issue during the Monday, July 11, finance committee meeting and at their regular meeting Wednesday, July 13.
They talked about several ideas, including publishing a delinquent list, like the county does for those who don't pay their property taxes on time.
Directors favored trying an incentive plan first, rather than taking punitive action.
"The bottom line is we want people to pay their bill," director Jane Braxton Little said. "We don't want to gouge them with late fees."
Customers may expect to see a note about an amnesty period on their bills, a limited number of days when late fees would be waived.
While this could help those who are juggling and struggling to pay their bills, others have already gone through foreclosures.
Directors did not discuss the details about how they would recoup lost revenue in those instances.
For more information about this billing issue, call 284-7224.

Just remember you're apologizing to someone who earlier this season posted a list of "NFL locks" and every single one of them was wrong. It was one of the more remarkable exercises in futility I have ever seen on this board.
Commie also had Tebow leading the Jets to the playoffs if I recall, so you may not want to get carried away as Commie never apologizes for being wrong or someone else being right. Though I don't believe it's necessary to do so in any case.
For the record, I thought what was more impressive is that Commie had all three rookie QBs in the playoffs - Wilson, Luck, and RG3. At the time this was far from a lock. Commie, for that especially good prediction I will definitely give you props - that was very well done by you. And hey, I think they all have a chance to win a game, on the NFC side, maybe more than that. And yeah, I was wrong about the Giants, though given the fact that they almost made it into the playoffs I don't feel especially wrong. But wow they did fade more than I thought. Next season will be interesting to see if the Giants right the ship or continue to fade. If they continue to fade I will man up and admit they were more "two hit wonders" than I thought. I had them back in the NFC championship game this year for sure.

Welcome to the Crown Inn, Oakengates. We host the World's biggest pub-based, cooled hand-pulled beer festival (the 36th one on runs from Thursday 1st to Monday 5th May, 2014) and offer you an atmosphere of the best real ale quaffing in Shropshire.
We have been national runner-up in "The Publican's Morning Advertiser" Cask Ale Pub Of The Year three times and pride ourselves on delivering a pint to remember. The Crown Inn was the Freehouse of the Year 2007 (East & West Midlands) and was named Cask Ale Pub of the Year 2008 (East & West Midlands), of which we are very proud. The Crown Inn has been included in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide 2014, recognising again that we are in the top few percent of pubs in the U.K.
Along with sister pub, the Elephant & Castle in Dawley, the Crown Inn has recently been chosen to feature in the latest edition of CAMRA's Good Beer Guide. Many thanks to all the CAMRA members who voted for us!
The Crown's licensee, John Ellis, was the first in The Wrekin Borough to be awarded the Cask Marque Award for Excellence in the service of cask ale and was only the fourth in Shropshire. The Crown Inn is the only pub in Oakengates to hold the Cask Marque award and is one of 8,770 pubs across the UK to offer great cask ale. The Crown Inn is a regular entry in the Good Beer Guide and Good Cider Guide, published by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
As you may have already seen, we have undertaken a major refurbishment of the front room. The old bar and floor have been replaced in oak, while the pillar (complete with blackboard) in the middle of the bar has now gone! We will have to find a new way of showing you which beers are available! By way of thanking customers for supporting us while the work progresses, we ran a Loyalty Card Scheme, enabling you to earn discount on drinks. We hope those of you who supported us in January enjoyed your discounted drinks in February!
The Crown Inn is now listed with our friends at www.perfectpint.co.uk showing (amongst other things) the beers and ciders that we have available. We will try to keep this up to date and hope to list the beer festival beers as well, although it depends on perfectpint having the up-to-date brewery information first!
The Crown Inn is now a WiFi hotspot. B.T. customers can get unlimited access through B.T. Openzone. Non-B.T. customers, ask at the bar for a code to get you upto 60 minutes free access.
Hobson's "Funkie Food & Ale Cookbook" is a hardback collection of recipes using Hobson's Shropshire Ales. With a normal price £7.99, it is available from this local pub, only £7.50!!
In January, we ran our first event of 2014 for our Academy of Ale members. We were invited back to Market Drayton, visiting Joule's Brewery and its Brewery Tap, the Red Lion, beautifully restored by Joule's. We will be organising more beer-related events for Real Ale Fans through the year. Call in for more details.
Last May, we held "Gig for Life" in support of Deb's Darlings, who took part in "Race for Life" against Breast Cancer. Our Quiz Night in May also raised money for "Gig for Life" and the total raised was an amazing £2,015.74! Thanks to everyone who took part and who turned up in support!! More Good News is that "Gig for Life" will run again on Saturday 17th May 2014. Details to follow!
More events will be coming soon!

A video produced by state courts officials includes a look at plans for under-construction Banning Justice Center.
The 3-minute 10-second clip also takes a critical look at why the old courthouse is considered inadequate. The video was produced by the Administrative Office of the Courts, Office of Communications.
The current Banning Courthouse is described as "one of the worst court facilites in the state."
It's "cramped," people who work there are "squished in," and the facility is "overcrowded," according to the state courts video.
Superior Court Judge Jorge Hernandez says on camera:
"The heating, there's a problem. Air conditioning, there's a problem. The smells are a problem. I know that there's asbestos in this building. There's just a whole lot of things that are wrong with this building."
Work on the construction site for the new courthouse is under way, and completion is hoped for by Fall 2013, according to state courts officials.
The architect for the project is R.L. Binder FAIA Architects, LLP, of Playa Del Rey. Construction management is being handled by Gilbane Building Company of San Diego and Providence, R.I.
The total estimated project cost for the six-courtroom, 68,399-square-foot Banning Justice Center is $63.2 million, which includes land acquisition, architectural design, construction, and other costs, said Teresa Ruano, of the Judicial Council of California - Administrative Office of the Courts.
Estimated project costs financed by are $54.5 million, Ruano said.
The new Justice Center is considered a catalyst and complement for other development in downtown Banning, including the planned .
The project is funded by revenues from within the judicial branch, with no impact on the state's General Fund, according to the Judicial Council, the policy-making body for California courts.

Hot answers tagged finals
The same happens with other characters with the same "finals": 就 - Jiù 扭 - Niǔ etc... From this page of Chinesepod.com: Mandarin's iu sound can confuse you because what is written is actually an abbreviated form of "iou," a straightforward combination of the vowel sounds i and ou. Thus the iu syllable sounds similar to the "yo" of the English word ...
The pronunciations of finals do not change when used after different finals, with perhaps only one exception: 'i'. It has three variations: 'zi ci si', 'zhi chi shi ri', and all others. NOTE: Not many Chinese know the differences, but you can compare: English pinyin Lee li she shi (the two consonants are also different) see si The three ...
I think one of the reasons is the loss of tone and/or stress in the syllable. But see this table, "Chinese (Mandarin)/Pronunciation of Finals", it provides a good summary of the changes.
As I said in another answer, I think pinyin was actually developed to help Russian speakers learn Mandarin. It may be that "iu" in Russian is pronounced with an added "o" sound. That question has some other answers with interesting information about the development of pinyin. In spite of its quirks, I've found pinyin a lot easier to use than zhuyin fuhao. ...
Because pinyin wasn't created by Westerners; it was created by the Chinese government. Also transliteration systems, by nature, aren't perfect analogues to the mother tongue, and you're just setting yourself up for heartbreak if you expect them to be. Relevant: Gwoyeu Romatzyh
'U' is pronounced 'Ü' with the initials J, Q, X and the pseudo-initial 'Y'. Otherwise it is always pronounced 'U'. Something that might help one remember it, is that J, Q and X are also pronounced with the same tongue-position but with slightly varying flow of air. So J, Q and X are basically one pronunciation. I like to think that the inventors of pinyin ...

A caravan of Jews wanders through Eastern Europe at the end of the nineteenth century on a heartbreaking quest. Spiritual seekers and the elderly, widows and orphans, the sick and the dying, con artists and adventurers, victims of pogroms who have no place else to go–they are all on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, but the journey is filled with unexpected detours and unanticipated disaster.
Among them is Laish, a fifteen-year-old orphan, through whose eyes we observe the interactions within this ragtag group of dreamers, holy men, misfits, and thieves as they battle with one another, try to stay one step ahead of the gendarmes, and do what little they can to keep up their flagging spirits. With the death of the rabbi who brought the group together, they are now led by men whom Laish refers to as "the dealers"–black-market traders whose motives are questionable but who periodically infuse the group with the money they need to get to the next town.
Years pass, tempers start to fray, and the caravan grows smaller as people die or abandon the venture. A brutal winter and typhoid epidemic further decimate the ranks, and the pilgrims have begun to reach the limits of their endurance. The dream of Jerusalem keeps the remnant going, and against all odds they finally arrive–emotionally and physically exhausted–at the port city of Galacz. They see their ship in the harbor, but whether they will actually make it onto that ship is suddenly and tragically thrown into doubt.
This magnificent new novel from Aharon Appelfeld ("One of the greatest writers of the age" —The Guardian) resonates with a universality of experience: the will to survive, the struggle to hold on to hope.
"Concentration camp survivor Appelfeld delivers a beautifully written, deeply disturbing tale of pilgrims en route to Jerusalem in pre-WW II Eastern Europe. . . . His gorgeous writing creates a stirring atmosphere, while Laish's observations and experiences illustrate some harsh truths about survival." —Publisher's Weekly
"A quite narrative of high expectation and muted desperation. . . . Appelfeld writes in an unadorned yet forceful style . . . that is, paradoxically, low-key and intense." —Kirkus Reviews

Signs posted along Brantley roads with an eye-catching tiffany blue ribbon garner attention from passersby begging the question "Justice for Edith?"
The campaign-type signs have a local tie and serve as a reminder regarding the death of Edith Carole Strickland Sheffield. Sheffield was the daughter of Nahunta residents the Rev. Marshall and Vera Strickland, and was murdered Jan. 18 under tragic and unexplained circumstances.
Sheffield's homicide is unsolved but investigators still hope for a break in the case after she was killed and her body was found a day later in the charred remains of her home that she shared with her husband.
On Jan. 18, at approximately 6:36 p.m. Coffee County 911 received a call in response to a house fire on Bowens Mill Road near Broxton. The fire resulted in extensive damage to the two-story residence.
The initial investigation revealed that one of the people residing at the house had not been located. The Coffee County Sheriff's office requested the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the State Fire Marshall's Office step in. The scene was processed and Edith's remains were discovered in the debris. Autopsy results revealed her death was by gunshot and not a result of the fire.
"Justice of Edith" is a community awareness campaign honoring Edith's memory supporting family and friends waiting for healing and answers as law enforcement personnel continue to work for justice in the homicide investigation.
Tiffany blue was Edith's favorite color and it's use on signage indicates her vibrancy and zest for life. The color also serves as an expression of sadness over losing a dear friend loved by many according to campaign organizers who have established a social media presence in her honor and as a form of community support.
Edith worked at a Coffee County bank and was a respected member of the community with friends throughout the community.
"There are no words that can heal our hearts, our prayers are for justice. It is hoped the campaign will be a source of community support," said campaign organizers.
A ribbon campaign launched in Douglas on June 18 with a blue balloon release to signify the five-month anniversary of the arson and murder that took the life of Edith. Signs are prominently displayed in Douglas on main thoroughfares such as Ward Street, Madison Avenue and Peterson Avenue.
The signs have also begun to appear in Brantley County in part because of her family's ties to the community.
Sheffield's family and friends, in their efforts to remember her, received permission to place two large billboards in downtown Douglas with the "Justice for Edith" logo and the GBI tips hotline telephone numbers.
The homicide has not gone unnoticed by state officials.
Georgia Governor Nathan Deal issued an executive order establishing a reward for any information leading to the identification, apprehension and conviction of a person or persons responsible for her murder, according to a July 10 account in the local Douglas Enterprise newspaper.
Along with the billboards, organizers have asked commercial businesses, family and friends to display blue ribbons on the 18th day of each month until the homicide investigation is brought to a successful conclusion.
Moore than Graphics in Douglas has a selection of promotional materials available to people wanting to support the campaign and Edith's family. A Facebook page Paint the Town Blue for Edith has also been designated.
Anyone with information about the death of Sheffield should call GBI Special Agent Russell Mansfield at 912-389-4103.
