Toowoomba trainer Norm Hilton is hoping history can repeat it itself when his top sprinter Bold Glance steps out in the Listed $80,000 PMP Ascot Handicap (1200m) at Eagle Farm.
Bold Glance won the Ascot two years ago after finishing well down the track when sixth to super sprinter Hay List in the Group 3 $175,000 W J Healy Stakes (1200m) at Eagle Farm and Hilton is hoping a similar plan will see Bold Glance return to winning form.
The six year old resumed from a spell after undergoing a throat operation and after travelling just behind the leaders faded to finish ninth to River Lad in this year's Healy Stakes on June 23.
"He ran OK first up. He was just short of a run and I expect a big improvement on Saturday," Hilton said.
"We missed out on trialling him in the lead-up. Every other time he's won first up he's had a good trial leading into it and we didn't get it this time."
Hilton explained that Bold Glance's poor form earlier in the year was a result of a breathing problem which has been corrected with surgery.
"He had an entrapped epiglottis, which is a flap in the throat that opens and closes," Hilton said.
"It was getting trapped closed. In the Gold Coast Stakes (jockey) Dean Tanti said when he put him under pressure he started making a noise."
"We had him scoped that week and we had to operate on it."
Bold Glance has been forced to carry heavy weights after winning eight from thirty-three starts and has been allocated 59kg topweight for the Ascot with all but three runners on the 54kg minimum.
"He gets a lot of weight wherever we take him," Hilton said.
"You either have a crack at those real hard Group races, or get stuck with 59kg in races like this."
"I'm hoping we can get back to his best form. He's well in himself, happy and keen to work,"
The Gerald Ryan trained Adnocon and Robert Heathcote's Griffon are the only other runners not on the minimum but look the main threats to Bold Glance.
Ryan elected to bypass the Listed $175,000 Reed Property Group Glasshouse Handicap (1400m) at the Sunshine Coast last week with Adnocon because of the heavy track after finishing a close third to Belltone in the Listed $175,000 City Of Ipswich Eye Liner Stakes (1350m) at Ipswich on June 16.
While Griffon produced a stunning first up win in the Listed $80,000 David Jones Lightning Handicap (1000m) at Eagle Farm on June 9 before running home late again for third to River Lad in the Healy.
Hilton also has his eye on next week's Grafton Carnival with stablemates Carry Me Bluey and Norocos to carry the flag for the stable.
Carry Me Bluey has also been struggling to find form and Hilton thinks he will be suited in the $50,000 Black Auto South Grafton Cup (1600m) at Grafton on Sunday and Norocos will run in the 1000m Sir James Kirby next Thursday.
"Carry Me Bluey struck a couple of wet tracks that he didn't appreciate and has been running good races in better company," Hilton said.

Thousands of passengers on both sides of the Channel were scrambling to get home in time for Christmas last night after Eurostar blamed the closure of their train network on the wrong type of snow.
More than 55,000 people have been stranded following a three-day cessation of the vital rail link between Britain and France which began on Friday evening when six trains became stuck in the tunnel because melted snow shorted vital electrical circuits inside the 186mph trains.
Apologising for some of the worst delays in the company's 15-year history, Eurostar's chief executive Richard Brown last night announced that trains would begin running a "limited" service through the Channel Tunnel from Tuesday morning. But tickets would be prioritised for the elderly, the needy and those who had their journeys cancelled over the weekend.
Amid widespread confusion over when and how replacement tickets would be handed out hundreds of passengers were planning to camp outside ticket offices in Paris and London last night. Many of those who had been stranded angrily accused the company of not doing enough to seek other forms of transport and asked why transport executives could not have organised more coaches to take travellers to Dover or Calais to catch ferries across the Channel.
Those hoping to find alternative ways home yesterday had their misery compounded by widespread disruption to travel services across Britain because of the winter weather. More than 500 rail passengers who were hoping to make it to the ferry ports had their journeys severely disrupted yesterday morning after Southeastern trains cancelled a number of services between Ashford and Dover.
The backlog of stranded passengers was then made worse when Euro Tunnel, which takes freight and car passengers through the tunnel in trains which have not been affected by the cold weather, stopped admitting new arrivals yesterday afternoon because of the increasing logjam.
The breakdown in Eurostar's services led politicians on both sides of the Channel to demand answers from the company's executives about o why they had failed to adequately prepare the trains to operate within heavy snowfall.
Eurostar has commissioned their own independent inquiry into the delays but French president Nicolas Sarkozy demanded an urgent meeting of senior French and British officials to consider the "unacceptable" chain of events which blocked cross-Channel rail services for three days. Transport minister Sadiq Khan ordered the Eurostar invstigation to report directly to his office.
"This has been a terrible experience for thousands of passengers, both those stranded on the trains and at the stations and the many thousands more who face having their Christmas holiday plans disrupted," he said.
Many frustrated and anxious would-be passengers were planning to camp at both Gare de Nord station in Paris and St Pancras in London last night. Sze-Wei Lu, 27, a British woman of Chinese origin, had been on one of the Eurostar trains which was turned back in northern France on Saturday. "It has been a nightmare," she said, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I try to be strong but tiredness and the lack of information defeat me." Like many other passengers, she demanded to know why Eurostar had not charted buses or trains to take stranded passengers to Channel ferry ports.
There were similar scenes of frustration at St Pancras yesterday afternoon. Staff were handing out food and trying to deal with angry complaints but many appeared unsure of how replacement tickets would be handed out.
Olivia Hermant, 25, a retail worker from Paris, was waiting outside the Eurostar terminal with her friend Anne-Claire Lesage. "I think we'll have to sleep here tonight," she said. "I've heard that we might be able to get a ferry but I don't want to risk going to Dover. There are loads of Eurostar personnel but they only seem to be talking to each other."
Last night P&O Ferries said it still had room for foot passengers but was waiting to see whether coaches would be laid on by Eurostar. "We can take approximately 200 foot passenger per hour and we have 25 return crossings each day so if Eurostar can organise coaches to transport passengers to either Dover or Calais we can help get some of them across the Channel," a spokesman said.

The Legend of La Llorona(1984)
A novel by Rudolfo Anaya
Throughout Mexico and wherever Hispanics live, the legend of "La Llorona" has been told for generation upon generation. There are as many versions of the tale of the Wailing woman are story tellers. In this short novel by Rudolfo Anaya, the story assumes historic proportions. The author suggests that the first Llorona of the New World was Malinche, the consort of the Spanish conquistador, Cortez. In Anaya's version of the story, Malinche rises to noble and tragic stature. The legends of the world have been born of human experience. Over time, and in the telling and retelling, the people in the world's legends have tended to become suprahuman, mythological. To return such legendary people to their original roots, and thereby make them human again, requires a story-teller of considerable, if not exceptional, talent which encompasses an understanding of humanity that transcends time, place, language and culture. This precisely is what Rudolpho Anaya has accomplished in this, his most recent work, The Legend OF La Llorona. Based on the ancient Mexican legend, Anaya has rendered the story in the form of a brief novel. In doing so, Mr. Anaaya has given us a work not unlike those of the great Greek tragedies of Oedipus, who killed his father and marries his mother, and Medea, who killed her own children. Joseph Campbell, in his Historical Atlas of World Mythology, noticed the remarkable similarities between the myths of the world and concluded, "Through its millions of apparently separate individuals, the human race evolved in the way of a single life." Now, thanks to Rudolfo Anaya's creative re-creation of The Legend Of La Llorona, it appears that the ancient Mexicans and the ancient Greeks were not so different after all. Through their legends, and now through the artistry of Rudolfo Anaya, they speak to us about the ways and about the unity of humankind. --- from book's back cover

Published: 18th Mar 2015
Residents of a particular postcode in Huddersfield are calling on the government to invest more money in broadband infrastructure in the countryside, as they believe there is currently an "internet apartheid" between urban and rural parts of the UK.
According to the Huddersfield Daily Examiner, some areas with the HD8 postcode are able to access super-fast broadband speeds, much like those living in nearby urban developments. However, those residing in villages on the outskirts, such as Bird's Edge, Upper Cumberworth and Upper Denby, are still struggling with slow and outdated connections.
This is certainly not a new issue, as both villagers and councillors have been trying to get BT to resolve the problem for the last eight years and have been campaigning for the government to invest in the area's internet infrastructure.
As with many other regions in the UK, it is thought that the telecommunications company has in the past declined to upgrade the service in HD8 as it does not believe it would be commercially viable. Virgin has also apparently refused to offer residents its fibre optic broadband for similar reasons.
After getting no luck contacting providers directly, campaigners have previously tried to take advantage of a range of subsidy schemes, such as the government's Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK), but this has also proved to be unsuccessful.
Graham Sykes, a resident of Upper Cumberworth, told the newspaper that he has been fighting for an improved broadband connection since he moved to the village in 2007. However, this has been to no avail and he is still struggling with speeds of just 1 Mbps - a far cry from the UK average of 19 Mbps.
"Although we are on the edge of a vast conurbation, BT Wholesale and Virgin have no plans for our area and indeed only improve provision where there is competition between them so as to keep their share," he explained.
"Here, where I live, there is no incentive for them to do anything."
Mr Skyes added that when BDUK's target of connecting 95 per cent of homes to super-fast broadband is mentioned in the media, the increasing "apartheid" between urban towns and rural villages is completely ignored.

Seriously, good common sense goes a long way in handling firearms and their maintenance. I mostly use Hoppe's No. 9 and like to clean outside unless it's too hot or otherwise inclement. It makes no sense to clean in a close atmosphere or where flammable vapors could reach open flames. Courtesy to other inhabitants of the household goes far in avoiding concentrations of solvent vapors.
A minor rant
A generation of Americans have arisen with the "Chicken Little" syndrome. They are frightened of their own shadows. They are scared of everything including global warming, second hand smoke, cell phone generated brain cancer, cholesterol, trans fats, tap water, sun's rays, the sun going out, their health insurance plan, what the Muslims might think about them, meteorites and killer comets, agricultural pesticides, firearms, high school sports, motorcycles without helmets, red meat, and new lot 2400 powder. They're not at all afraid of trading their freedoms away for some tofu and some government protection. If they live long enough they're gonna die but they seem to think they can avoid the event if they will only "watch out" for stuff that's out to get them. They also enjoy pontificating (as I am here) about what they think they know and communicating it to all and sundry in order that everyone can stew about it together.

The location of Hotel East Houston is what makes it so great! On the corner of East Houston Street with Eldridge, it's exactly on the border of the Lower East Side and the East Village. Just a few blocks away from the Bowery, SOHO, NOHO, Nolita and with only a minute walk to the subway (F-Train: 2 Ave) it's only three stops to DUMBO, Brooklyn (York Street). The neighbourhood is really fantastic!
The rooms of the hotel are really small, but what else do you expect in NYC. They are really clean, the bed is good and the bathroom as well. There is no fridge though. Staff is extremely laid back, nice and helpful. But the best thing about the hotel besides the location, is the rooftop terrace! Great views! Go get yourself something nice to eat and drink at the huge Whole Foods organic supermarket around the corner, or a bagel with lox and a schmear from Russ & Daughters and settle yourself on the rooftop.
The reason why I don't give five stars is because they skipped breakfast since this year. Such a shame. We came here twice before in 2009 and 2011 and really enjoyed the free breakfast that you could eat in the cellar or at the rooftop. Now you have to eat somewhere in the neighbourhood. Plenty of choice though. (Zoe on Eldrigde, or Blue Bird across the street on First Ave) Between 08.00 and 16.00 you can get yourself some coffee and tea in the cellar, but after that there's no possibility for drinks. A vending machine would be nice.

GMC automobile drivers have become used to a certain level of dependability when driving their C1500 Suburban around town. Anyone who owns a GMC knows that when it comes to fixing their automobile only the absolute best replacement parts will do. Your GMC dealership isn't the only place to find the highest quality repair parts to fix your C1500 Suburban. Obviously, you didn't buy your C1500 Suburban unless you knew that you wanted performance and great value both rolled up into one vehicle.
If you can't slow down your vehicle, then you are bound to get into an accident. Brand new GMC C1500 Suburban disc brake calipers on your vehicle makes it much safer. Not only will you be able to stop your vehicle when needed, but you will also be able to put your vehicle through the paces and fast corners because you can slow it down. Brake calipers use the pads to pinch both sides of the rotor. This is a more effective way to stop your GMC C1500 Suburban than the use of wheel cylinders, as disc brake calipers apply equal and opposing forces towards the same point on the rotor's flat surface; making it easier to transfer heat into the brake pads and stop the vehicle.
Don't let a Disc Brake Caliper repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the highest quality repair parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate GMC C1500 Suburban part for your needs. Given all the hassles associated with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy. Need 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979 GMC C1500 Suburban Disc Brake Caliper parts? We've got them right here.

What about China, though? RBA governor Rick Battelino told a group of people in Sydney last night that despite the interruption of the GFC, "the underlying dynamics of the resource boom are starting to reappear. Those dynamics, presumably, are China's growth and the investment required in the domestic resource economy to increase production of coal, iron ore and everything else China buys from Australia.
Battelino says, "It's hard to put a finger on exactly how much investment is going to take place, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect mining investments to rise to 6 per cent of GDP over the next few years. That would be about twice as high as it got to in the previous boom. It's a very big boom."
He reckons the boom could last into the 2020s. "Past booms do not seem to have lasted more than about 15 years before resource depletion or international or domestic developments acted to slow economic activity and bring the boom to an end." But fear not!
"On this occasion, the growth potential of countries such as China and India suggests that the expansion and resource demand could continue for an extended period. Whether this eventuates, however, will depend on, at least to some extent, the economic management skills of the authorities in these countries, not to mention our own."
But there are plenty of sceptics on the China story already. Our old friend Marc Faber told Bloomberg that, "It does not make sense for China to build more empty buildings and add to capacities in industries where you already have overcapacity. I think the Chinese economy will decelerate very substantially in 2010 and could even crash."
And what would that mean for Australia and Aussie stocks? Quite a lot, of course. Faber says that, "If the Chinese economy decelerates or crashes, what you have is a disastrous environment for industrial commodities."
That couldn't be any clearer.
But maybe we are overly pessimistic. We're hopping on a plane tomorrow and headed to the other side of the world to discuss these and other matters with some old friends who've been in the investment game for a long time. If they are more sanguine about things, then we'll be really worried.

In 2008, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) began a study of the future of nursing and proposed an action-oriented blueprint for advancing the work of the profession. The four key messages were: Nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training; an improved nursing education system would promote seamless academic progression; nurses should be full partners with physicians and other health professionals in redesigning health care; and better data collection and information infrastructure are needed to advance these goals.
Liana Orsolini-Hain is an immediate past tenured nursing instructor at the City College of San Francisco and is a per diem staff nurse at the San Francisco Veterans Administration Medical Center. Orsolini-Hain served on the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on the Initiative on the Future of Nursing.Orsolini-Hain is an immediate past advisory board member for the California Institute for Nursing & Health Care, where she co-chaired a white paper on nursing education redesign for California's Committee on Nursing Collaborative Education Models.

Patio Furniture Care Needs & Essentials
I have a three wheeled bike which i have had for well over six years now. Shortly after buying it, I ended up hurting my hip, and was unable to ride it. And we kept it.

Good Wood Outdoor Furniture - To Stain Or Not?
It can be quite tough locate the best patio chair cushions that will accent your patio set. Patio chairs allow you in a variety of ways for you. There is baby feeding, eating dinner, doing work, and everything else you need a chair for.
Cedar wood also is bacterial and fungus resistant and a single of the of essentially the most durable woods available within market of late. The wood fibers contain oils that help preserve the wood in natural symptoms. Cedar works exceptionally well in humid or hot climates which have the wood acceptable for patio or deck furniture also as for saunas and hot tubs.

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-4044) Create symbolic links in HDFS
|Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:07:44 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4044?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12637158#action_12637158 ] Sanjay Radia commented on HADOOP-4044: -------------------------------------- If throwing a UnresolvedPathException is considered clean style inside the namenode then it should be clean for RPC interface. We need to be consistent here. It is either clean style or it s not. In my opnion, throwing the UnresolvedPathException across the rpc interface is clean -- it is one of many internal interfaces. Joshua Bloch in "Effective Java" (item 40) argues that exceptions can be used for recoverable conditions. The processing the symbolic link is a recoverable condition. Later in the same item he argues that such exceptions can provide information to allow the recovery (in this case the remaining pathname to resolve). Indeed the link that Doug gave argues in favour of using declared exceptions for recoverable conditions [ http://220.127.116.11/essays/java-style/exceptions.html]: _"My rule of thumb for whether I make an exception declared or undeclared is whether localized recovery from the exception being thrown is sensible. If the calling method (or one of its recent callers) of the code is the right place to handle a given failure type, I represent that failure with a declared exception. If, on the other hand, if the failure case is best handled by a global handler which catches all the exceptions for a given component of a program and treats them all as failures of that subsystem, I use undeclared exceptions"._ In the case of symbolic links, localized recovery by following the symbolic link is possible, and hence using an exception is acceptable. Here the author is distinguishing between declared and undeclared -- but the point is that declared exceptions are okay for recoverable conditions. If java did not have the distinction for declared vs undeclared and exceptions were only for errors, then Doug's argument would have been valid. Dhruba made the right choice in throwing the exception inside the name node - otherwise all the interfaces and code would have become unclean. The same style should have continued for the RPC operation. The RPC interfaces in the patch have been changed as follows. void create(...) become FSLink create(..) and boolean setReplcation() becomes FSLinkBoolean setReplication(..) ... similar for many other methods. The original interfaces were intuitive -- the input parameters and the return values are obvious for each method. The newer ones have this FSlinkXXX return value that, IMHO, is not clean. They will get worse with the union overloading overtime if we add new reasons to recover on the client side. The use of exceptions would have kept the interface clean (just as was done inside the name node code). > Create symbolic links in HDFS > ----------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4044 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4044 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: dfs > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > Attachments: symLink1.patch, symLink1.patch, symLink4.patch, symLink5.patch, symLink6.patch, symLink8.patch, symLink9.patch > > > HDFS should support symbolic links. A symbolic link is a special type of file that contains a reference to another file or directory in the form of an absolute or relative path and that affects pathname resolution. Programs which read or write to files named by a symbolic link will behave as if operating directly on the target file. However, archiving utilities can handle symbolic links specially and manipulate them directly. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Libyan leader visits Belgium
Libyan leader Colonel Moamar Gaddafi has begun an official visit to Europe - his first in 15 years.
Human rights protesters demonstrated against the Libyan leader's presence as he shook hands with the head of the European Commission, Romano Prodi, in Brussels.
The trip, which is Colonel Gaddafi's first official trip outside Africa or the Middle East in 15 years, is yet another sign Libya has been welcomed back into the international community.
In the past month British Prime Minister Tony Blair has met Colonel Gaddafi in Tripoli and US President George W Bush has eased almost 20 years of economic sanctions against the once-labelled sponsor of terrorism.

Bolivia joins the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture
The Plurinational State of Bolivia, in the exercise of its sovereign rights, has deposited the instrument of accession to the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) and will become a Contracting Party on 4 December 2016. The deposit of the instrument follows the adoption of Law No. 801 of April 25 2016 of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly of Bolivia.
This sovereign act, in accordance with its sovereignty over its plant genetic resources for food and agriculture, is founded on the conviction that both the Country and the Contracting Parties to the Treaty may mutually benefit from the participation of an effective multilateral system.
"This System, which reflects the interdependence of all countries, facilitates access to a negotiated selection of plant genetic resources that are key for food security and sovereignty; and makes possible the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from their use", said Kent Nnadozie, Ad Interim Secretary of the Governing Body of the International Treaty.
Bolivia is among the 17 mega-diverse countries in the world and it is rich in traditions and cultures related to the management of native plant genetic resources, and is a centre of origin of quinoa. The National Institute of Agricultural and Forestry Innovation (INIAF) under supervision of the Ministry of Rural Development and Land, plays a key role in crop conservation and works with agro-biodiversity community centers where in situ conservation activities are carried out. This work involves small producers who are themselves custodians of plant genetic resources.
In addition to that work, the National Germplasm Bank of INIAF holds 18,434 ex situ accessions of great value to agricultural biodiversity. These include more than 3,000 accessions of quinoa, 1,500 of potato (of which 900 are regularly grown), 1,400 of corn, and 1,000 varieties of peanuts among other species of agricultural importance. In addition to that, the Bank monitors the collection to ensure the viability of all varieties and collaborates with 19 partner institutions in the framework of the National Genetic Resources System, in order to conserve, manage and use genetic resources of the country.
Bolivia is also a member of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture of FAO and the Convention on Biological Diversity.

After four days of continuous craziness regarding the status of CeCe Jefferson, the Baker County US %%MATCH_3%% All-American posted late Monday morning that we would finally be seeing the end of the situation.
Today is the day that I officially become a %%MATCH_2%% Gator,sorry for the wait #GatorNation! Sending my LOI in shorty ????????????— 7 (@cecejeferson7) February 9, 2015
Florida head coach Jim McElwain then verified the LOI in the proper hands at Florida and so everything is official.
Want to officially welcome @cecejeferson7 to the Gator Family! #ChompChomp— Jim McElwain (@CoachMcElwain) February 9, 2015
Why all of the fuss over one prospect in a pretty good class? Because Jefferson is not your typical college football signee. He is the kind of prospect that can change your defense and your team. Baker County head coach Tom MacPherson gives us more.
"His explosiveness is why everyone was on him in recruiting," MacPherson said of his star of which he coached only a half season. "He is a tremendous pass rusher. He will become a better run player as he develops. He has the body and frame, explosiveness, and power. In high school he was so much better than everyone he was just able to do whatever he wanted. As he starts to play against D-1 offensive tackles I think you will see him become a better player in the run game as well.
"He's a guy that can play as a defensive end or outside linebacker. I think a lot of schools are looking for guys that can do both."
Jefferson is already pushing 260 pounds and some are quick to say that he will end up inside as maybe a three-technique, but MacPherson sees much more of Jefferson as an outside defender.
"I think with his athletic ability and if (Florida) is smart, he will be an edge rusher and a guy that can drop into zone pressures," the Baker County coach said. "He can get strong and put on weight, but it isn't easy to acquire athletic ability. The athletic ability he has, the explosiveness, I don't think you can add that to a kid. With all of those intangibles he has I would want to keep him as an edge rusher."
You would never know it from his antics on Twitter over the last two years plus, but according to his coach, Jefferson is actually a lot more laid back than his Twitter persona.
"He's actually very quiet and humble," MacPherson said. "Because you only see him in the media spotlight and on Twitter, he knew how to market himself. He is wise beyond his years and smart from a business perspective. People don't know he is really kind of quiet. As much as he likes the recruiting stuff, he doesn't always want to be in the spotlight."
MacPherson thinks Florida is a great fit for who Jefferson is and where he is from.
"I think it is a huge comfort level for him to go to Florida," MacPherson said. "It is close to home and there are a ton of Gator fans around here. I think it is comfortable for CeCe and I think CeCe is closer to his family than a lot of people realize. I think he would enjoy being close to home and the ability to make the 40 minute drive to get back home and how convenient it is to have family and friends to come see and play.
"I don't care what their record is, Florida is still Florida. Florida still has a value and is marquee. Coach McElwain has a pretty good pedigree and will do a pretty good job there. The only reason I think people have been able to take kids out of here recently is because of the lack of success on the field. In this area, when they get it ramped up, you aren't going to steal too many kids from here."
And so the anxiety is over for Gator recruitniks with regard to this five-star prospect and his elusive LOI. This is one process we won't forget.

The National Audit Office found that Wake Up To Wogan on BBC Radio 2 and Radio 1's Chris Moyles Show costs more to produce per hour than six other breakfast programmes broadcast by commercial companies.
The bill for Chris Evans's drive-time show on Radio 2 was also far higher than programmes used as comparators by the spending watchdog.
Tory MP Edward Leigh, chairman of the all-party Commons public accounts committee, said: "The BBC must account for why it spends much more money per hour than its commercial rivals on breakfast and drive-time shows.
"It is already clear from the NAO report that this is primarily down to presenters' remuneration."
Mr Leigh also branded "scandalous" that the BBC had sought to impose a "gagging order" on the NAO by insisting on unacceptable conditions to release full details of the cost of radio programmes.
Documents leaked three years ago, though, showed Wogan was on £800,000 a year, Evans £540,000 and Moyles £630,000. The BBC spent £462 million in 2007-08 on 16 radio stations, or 14 per cent of its licence fee income. The NAO's inquiry found that the BBC had met its target to cut radio costs by £11.7 million by 2007-08 but concluded that significant savings could still be made.
"The BBC's costs are significantly more expensive than commercial programmes in the same slots, largely because of the costs of presenters and other staff, reflecting an editorial choice on the BBC's part to take account of the nationwide remit of its network stations," it said.
Wake Up To Wogan cost about twice as much as the most expensive commercial programme, produced by a major city station, with salaries accounting for around two thirds of the BBC's show.
The Chris Moyles Show was also more costly, though its salary costs were slightly lower. Chris Evans's Radio 2 show was almost off the scale compared with the commercial sector, though the NAO only managed to get figures from three stations.
The BBC, though, stressed its licences meant costs could rise and highlighted how Radio 2 had to "provide an understanding of the context in which music is created and its cultural impact".
It added: "This will increase the cost of Radio 2 relative to a commercial station that does not have such an imperative." The spending watchdog also noted varying costs within the BBC for making similar programmes. The average cost per hour of drama was £14,969 for The Archers on Radio 4, yet for Radio 3 it was £23,965, 60 per cent higher, and £10,496 for Radio 7.
BBC in-house drama productions were more expensive than those produced by independent companies — by 29 per cent for Radio 3 and eight per cent for Radio 4. Drama programmes made in Manchester were marginally higher than those in London, both costing on average more than £24,000 an hour.
For music, the median cost per hour was £1,486 on Radio 2, 54 per cent higher than for Radio 1 on £966, with £650 for Radio 3. Radio 2 comedy was costliest at £24,212 an hour on average, 15 per cent more than Radio 4's figure of £21,000.
The BBC Trust, which oversees the Corporation, said: "We agree that the BBC Executive could do more to evidence how they reach their assessments on what constitutes an appropriate cost for programmes, particularly for those genres where costs do vary significantly across the different radio stations."
The cost of programmes includes wages, equipment, travel, support crews, commissioning, copyright payments, newsgathering, marketing, running the station and physical transmission.

I've been asked to do a radio show about a topic of great interest to me personally. Here's what I have for the beginning monologue of the first show.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today as we start our new show we want to introduce our topic, which Joyce (my co-host) and I find not only interesting, but crucial to our future happiness, as individuals, families, communities and nations.
Other radio talk shows, some quite successful, talk about what's wrong with America today, how the government over-reaches its authority, how our rights are being slowly whittled away, about the plight of the poor, and the unimaginable wealth enjoyed by a few, about how the country's moral base in crumbling.
All of this is true. But, doesn't hearing that day after day really get old and discouraging? Who wants to listen to that all day? Not me!
What we have to share with you each week, dear listener, is hope. Yes, the world IS going to pot, the very fiber of our society is rotten, BUT, there is hope.
The funny thing is, all of the symptoms modern American society is experiencing today, all of the crime, the huge wealth gap, the government corruption, the craziness of our society was all predicted. Certain people throughout history have warned us of the results of going down this path, and, thankfully, they have given us the secret to prevent it.
Yes, the path our nation, and other nations, have walked follows a pattern as predictable as night and day. And… since it's predictable, it's also preventable! And, maybe, even salvageable. But that, dear listener, is up to you.
The hope we want to share with you is that the same understanding that allows us to predict the downfall of our once-free and prosperous society, also gives us the key to build a world of peace and prosperity for ALL, for all who choose to participate.
No, it won't be easy. As you're probably painfully aware, change is often difficult. Getting from here to there will have its obstacles. For example, those people and institutions that believe that they benefit from the status quo will resist change with all their might. Even if it's in their long-term best interest to embrace the changes we offer.
Here's the thing, the values which result in the mess our society is in, those values are false, they don't deliver on their promises. The whole political, social, economic, and educational institutions of our society have all been corrupted by two particular false values. And because they have been compromised in this way, they cannot and will not endure forever. Our social institutions will and must fall. They will fall under the weight of their own corruption. It… is… inevitable.
The GOOD news is that if we can learn from our mistake as a culture, we can learn the two values that have and always will result in a stable, enduring, and prosperous society. If enough people learn to identify and reject the two false values that will bring about the downfall of any society, and if, after rejecting those two values, if we can fully embrace their corresponding true versions, then we're all set! We're set because, when our corrupted society self-destructs, we can build a new, enduring, peaceful society in its place. THAT is the hope we have, that is what can give our lives meaning while we endure the decay all around us.
OK, now. The answer to the question that naturally came into your mind when you first heard the title of our show, Zion vs Babylon, was, "Why in the world is their show called that?" I'll give you three seconds to think about it, and I'll bet the answer will pop into your head.
Did it come to you, just now? I'm guessing it did.
"Babylon" is a code word that represents any society that embraces the values that will eventually destroy it. And "Zion" is any society that embraces the corresponding versions of those values that will lead that society to long-term peace and prosperity for all.
From the beginning, the history of the world has been a Clash of Cultures: Zion vs Babylon. We're going to share and discuss with you, our listener, the secret that has been known and shared by a few people throughout history, and we'll probably spend most of our time talking with you about how the two Zion values can be applied in our hearts, homes, neighborhoods to create and provide a firm foundation for a long-lasting, peaceful, prosperous, crime-free, and HAPPY society.
So, now, as we do our show each week at this hour, we invite you, dear listener, to choose which team you're going to be on – Team Zion or Team Babylon.
Let's get started!

Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Im a 17 year male and my ex girl friend recetly gave birth to a baby girl and id like information about how to go about giving up my custody rights to the baby. I am in no way ready to be a dad and i do not want anything to do with this child.
Unfortunately, once you Father a child, you have a legal duty to financially support that child -- a duty from which you can't just walk away. The only way to do what you want to do is to have someone else adopt the child and to step into your shoes, meaning that you would no longer be the Father and a stranger would take on that obligation. Unfortunately, the mother would have to agree to this as well. Your obligation to support the child financially has nothing to do with whether or not you see the child. You may just walk away and choose not to see the child, but you can't walk away from the financial obligation to pay support. All of this is assuming that you are the Father of the child. If you believe you are not, a paternity test will establish that fact and you could be relieved of the financial obligation.
The information is for general information purposes only. Nothing stated above should be taken as legal advice for any individual case or situation.Ask a similar question
If you signed a paternity affidavit at the hospital and it made it's way to the office of vital statistics you are the father unless you contest paternity within certain time periods. As a father, you have equal rights. There is some debate about whether a 17 year old can sign a paternity affidavit etc. If you were to file a court action you might have a guardian ad litem appointed to assist you under RCW 4 because of your age. Skipping that issue, however, the most common scenario for young unmarried persons is that the mother may go on public assistance. A child support action is started and an order is entered that makes the father and adjudicated father and gives sole custody to the mother. In essence, the father gives up custody unless he or the mother seek a parenting plan/residential schedule. IF your question is not about custody - but, rather about paying child support - the answer is no you cannot escape financial liability if the child is yours and the mother or the state wants to collect support. Visitation or custody with your child is not linked to child support. The court will rarely allow a child "one" parent.Ask a similar question
Courts are very reluctent to allow parents to avoid their future duty to parent children just because they don't like the idea of being a parent. You would have to file a Petition to relinquish and you could do it in Juvenile Court. However, there are significant problems in being able to get out of your responsibilities and it is unlikely that you would have success without an experienced family law lawyer who would be willing to assist you. Could be costly for you but your chance of success without the lawyer is almost zero.,Ask a similar question

Kanpur, Apr 29 : The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has slammed the policies of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government over the rising prices of essentials in the country.
Staging a demonstration here, the party activists launched a mock Sonia Gandhi homeopathic clinic where the common man could get small doses of food, which is all he can afford. "Just as homeopathic medicines are administered in small droplets, thanks to the UPA government, the man on the street has to be satisfied with small quantities of food. A man who managed to eat one loaf of bread a day is no longer able to afford even half a loaf," said Satish Mahana, a party activist.
Another activist termed the present Congress-led UPA Government as pro-rich and anti-poor.
"The policies of the government are wrong. Under this regime, hoarders and the rich stand to benefit and the farmers and poor are suppressed and inflation levels are phenomenal in the country," said Premlata Katyal, another activist.
Earlier, Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram had said that every measure within the power of the government has been taken and would be taken to calm inflation being largely driven by high international commodity and food prices.

My Make-up No Make-up Routine Based On A look From Beyonce's Formation Tour
It's pretty early in the morning and you really need to get up but you pushed the snooze button to often. Oh Lord! Quick shower, get dressed and off you go. STOP. Rewind. And this is what you need to do to get your face in Beyoncé shape. Naturally you don't have to apply all the steps, find favourites and see what works for you.
Basic Flawless Essentials
I received a zillion of requests on beauty tutorial video's so I thought it was time and fun to start with my personal favourites and how I apply them. When I use fluid basics I really rely on my fingers to do the job. As skin is warm I find it blends in more easily when using my fingers. After applying skincare that usually contains a day serum by Bioeffect, I apply Charlotte Tilbury's Magic crème as it really works magic for the skin.
How To Apply A Rosy Glow That Stays In Place All Day
Straight after applying foundation I really like to use a cream blush and a dash of highlighter before setting the skin. This is a perfect way to create a dewy looking complexion, a gone to the beach look as you will. There are several crème blushes I am particularly fond of, for example Laura Mercier in Canyon, Mac Cosmetics crème colour base in Rich Coral and at the moment Minor Crisis by Lipstick Queen.
From office to cocktails!
When heading from the office to an evening out or Friday night cocktails, no need to start your make-up all over again from scratch, instead you add. It's all about the details…
During the day using a tight line (a.k.a. invisible eyeliner that is wiggled between the lashes) will do the subtle trick.

Charlie Brown voice actor found competent for sentencing in California
By Marty Graham
SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - A San Diego judge found on Wednesday that a 58-year-old man who as a child actor voiced the cartoon character Charlie Brown was mentally competent to be sentenced for violating his probation in a stalking case.
A defense attorney for Peter Robbins had requested a mental health evaluation for the former actor after he shouted at the judge and bailiff at a court appearance in June.
San Diego County Superior Court Judge Steven Stone on Wednesday accepted the psychiatrist's opinion that Robbins is competent to be sentenced. He faces up to three years and two months in state prison.
Robbins pleaded guilty to charges of stalking and making threats in May 2013, after harassing and threatening an ex-girlfriend and the plastic surgeon who enhanced her breasts.
The judge ordered him to spend eight months in residential drug treatment and then serve five years on probation.
Robbins was arrested in February for probation violations that included drinking alcohol and cutting off his GPS ankle bracelet, prosecutors said.
Robbins, who has been held in jail since then, wore an unkempt beard and appeared subdued at the brief hearing on Wednesday.
Afterwards, San Diego deputy district attorney Brenda Daly said she supported the judge's decision to keep cameras out of the hearing, due to Robbins' outburst in June. Continued...

so heading up to Rhayader for stag do this weekend, and the plan is to ride some bikes and as always it's a bit of a mixed ability group. I've been nosing round the old interweb for some route guidance and found a write up of the something called the 'Rhayader round'
any of you folks familiar with this? and if so, reckon it's suitable for this kind of group? or any alternative suggestions?

The 'Rhayader Round" route - suitable for 15 fellas on stag?
so heading up to Rhayader for stag do this weekend, and the plan is to ride some bikes and as always it's a bit of a mixed ability group. I've been nosing round the old interweb for some route guidance and found a write up of the something called the 'Rhayader round'
Not a route I would take beginners on, some steep climbs are descents in that.
Plenty of other options from Rhayader though.
Start in Rhayader, warm up along the Elan Valley Trail, at the end take
this BW west to east
and cross the road to take
this BW SE back to Rhayader
Only one real hill and a fast as you want descent to finish.
Will you start drinking before, after or during the ride?
by the time we get everyone sorted in the morning, it'll probably be time for a pint. limiting factor is we've got to get a couple of bikes back to the hire shop by 5.30, so can't ****t about for too long, plus got to get the bbq fired up in good time...
clarkpm4242 - cheers for that, looks good.
Speak to Clive or Neil at the bike shop (Clive Powell Mountain Bikes) in Rhayader they will give you some great routes. Tell them you want to go up Bonk Hill and down the full length of the Links to finish. Trust it's worth it. Great place to ride the Elan Valley. That route you mention above is really good but it's not for total beginners.
we're heading to clive powells first thing anyway to pick up a couple of bikes, so will pick their brains. cheers for the thoughts.
clarkpm4242's route is pretty much what you posted, minus the first bit.
It is a much better suggestion, although there is a fair bit of bike path in that - but at least everyone should be capable of riding it!
The SE bridleway "Golf Course Descent" is one of my favourites - not technical, but pretty rocky and as fast as your want it to be.
Be warned though, it's a bit of a bog fest to get to the start of it. The path by "Roman Camp" doesnt exist on the ground (in my experience). I've used the road to the north to loop around to the start of the bridleway descent.
Have fun.
Did you get round?Posted 3 years ago #

Andy Parsons Live 2013 Slacktivist DVDRip x264 Watch Online Free Download
Genre: Comedy
plot: Politicians complain of a left-wing media bias but there are plenty of rightwing comedians it just seems that most of them are being investigated by Operation Yewtree. Maybe its a deliberate smokescreen given that politicians, rather than journalists or estate agents, are now the least respected and trusted of all professions. Boris Johnson is the only current politician in the country with a popularity above 1. Comedians have seen this and are standing to be politicians. Are you going to lie back and let the clowns take over? Are you going to stick your head under the duvet as Bozzer de Pfeffel Johnson rides his crazy zipwire into town? Mind you that duvet is warm and cosy, isnt it? And theres a cup of tea available. And a muffin. And a chocolate cupcake. I ll just turn the central heating up a little. And fluff up the pillow. These pyjamas are comfy. Maybe I ll wear them to Tesco. Star of Mock The Week and one of Britain's sharpest comedians, Andy Parsons, returns to tackle these big issues and then have a nap. Recorded as part of his recently extended, fourth sell out national tour at the magnificent Harrogate Theatre, Slacktivist will be Andy s third and favourite live DVD to date

The Myth of Green Energy
Monday, May 10, 2010
Dennis talks to Robert Bryce, investigative journalist and managing editor The Energy Tribune. His new book is. Power Hungry: The Myths of "Green" Energy and the Real Fuels of the Future. Here's the article in WSJ that attracted our attention to this book.
