The mistake that cost Arsenal the Champions league to Barcelona
Goonersden brings you news from top football news sites from the likes of ESPN, SkySport, Daily Mail, Daily Star and Metro… We also Analyse football, player, transfer and predict Arsenal starting line-up.
The first and the last time Arsenal and Arsene Wenger ever came close to winning the Champions League was in the 2005/2006 season when the Gunners lost the prestigious trophy to Barcelona at time and since then, the club have not come close to the final.
Arsenal great Jens Lehman has opened up as to the mistake that cost the Gunners the title, this is according to reports.
Lehman saw a red card just 18 minutes after kick-off for a clumsy challenge on former African footballer of the year Samuel Eto'o. Although, Ludovic Giuly had found the back of the net after the incident referee Terje Hauge still flashed a red card.
Arsenal were well into the game until Sol Campbell gave Arsenal the lead through a header. However, as typical with Arsenal, they were unable to hold on their lead for the entire duration of the game. Late goals from Eto'o and Juliano Belletti denied Arsenal their first and best chance ever at clinching the Champions league.
Lehman is currently one of the goalkeeping coaches for Arsenal and he revealed in his autobiography 'The Madness is on the Pitch' how he met with the then Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson minutes after he was sent off.
'After a few minutes, Thierry Henry had the first great chance, followed by two Spanish attempts on target which I could parry safely,' he wrote. 'Four minutes past nine, the infamous moment had come: Ronaldinho played his pass, Eto'o began to run, Lehmann grasped, [referee Terje] Hauge blew his whistle.
'Following the dismissal, I slunk into the dressing room to put on a clean shirt. What was I to do now? For a few minutes, I sat around, irresolute, before climbing up the steps to the stands.
'I bumped into Sir Alex Ferguson, who stared at me wide-eyed, as if he had seen Lucifer himself. 'Bad luck,' I said with a shrug, continuing on my way. '
When I had eventually found a seat, I was joined by Lasse and Mats [his children], who had been sitting with my wife and brother. I pulled them onto my lap and finally began to tear up.
'There is no apt description nor any solace for this moment, in which all aims, hopes and ambition of the previous months disappear in a black hole of disappointment. 'I suspected I would never again be part of a Champions League final but did not let the thought get to me at all.'

Every increase in gasoline prices gets a rise out of gaseous American politicians seeking to fuel voter anger in their drive for power.
Quick fixes get featured. Lower prices are promised. Boilerplate press releases attach blame (Monday's: "Obama's Energy Crisis" from Republican National Committee). White House hopefuls claim that a nation with 2 percent of the world's oil reserves, which consumes 20 percent of the world's oil supply, has an easy way out: "Drill, Baby, Drill".
Here is a selection of politicians' gas about gas prices, the sense and the nonsense:
President Obama was speaking for himself as well as predecessors back to Richard Nixon when he declared Saturday:
"It's easy to promise a quick fix when it comes to gas prices. There just isn't one. Anyone who tells you otherwise, any career politician who promises some three-point plan for two-dollar gas, they're not looking for a solution. They're looking for your vote."
Gaseous partisan rhetoric aside, here are a few indisputable facts about energy, how much America produces and how much America consumes. The picture actually holds some good news.
Domestic U.S. oil production drilling was at 10.3 million barrels a day in 2011, its highest level in nearly 30 years. The number of oil rigs deployed has quadrupled. The Obama administration has approved oil exploration in Arctic waters off Alaska, against protests from environmental groups.
Fuel efficiency in automobiles and SUV's has gone from 24.7 miles a gallon in 2001 to 29.6 miles a gallon. New auto efficiency standards will require 55 mpg. cars by the middle of the next decade. (Only one Republican, Sen. Slade Gorton of Washington, championed fuel efficiency during the 1990's.)
Total U.S. use of oil has declined from 20.8 million barrels a day in 2005 to slightly lower than 19 million barrels in 2011. Oil imports have fallen from 60 percent of America's domestic consumption, seven years ago, to 45 percent in 2011.
Oh yes, when you see one of the American Petroleum Institute's slick drill-baby-drill TV spots, remember that oil companies have 7,000 government-approved on-shore drilling permits that are not being used.

Today I arrived at the bus stop to find newspaper all over the ground. My initial thought was "that's unfortunate." There are a few little newspaper machines around the bus stop, several of which are free local rags, so this isn't a completely unusual event. It was colder last night, so I imagine someone used them as blankets and slept on the benches under the shelter. Alpharetta doesn't have much in the way of homeless, but any sort of shelter and free 'blankets' will get found by those who need them on a cold night.
I noticed some of the edges of the papers were charred, so I looked around to see where someone had lit a paper on fire, and found a small, black pile right where the bus stops to load passengers.
I road around on my bike for a little bit, like I always do, slowly circling the area. 7 or 8 other people stood under or around the shelter, waiting for the bus like they do every morning. But I kept thinking about the paper. Not really sure why, perhaps cause it was all over the place, but it being there just sorta annoyed me.
I thought about picking it up, but a few thoughts kept running through my head, giving me pause.
1) If I pick this stuff up, will I look like I think I'm better than everyone here?
2) Are other people not picking it up cause they don't want to look smug?
3) Is it kinda tragic that many people might want to pick it up, but don't because they don't want to look preachy?
That was one line of thought. The other line was more judgmental, thinking that if I had passed this group of people and saw all the paper lying around, I'd think to myself, "Gee folks, not one of you can take 2 minutes and pick up a little trash?" I think like that a lot. It's one of my least favorites traits.
But how could I think that if I was not willing to pick it up myself?
But then the biggest point: I ride my bike to work every day. If I start picking up newspaper off the ground, am I gonna look like some super tree-hugging hippie? I certainly don't want that. Plenty of people associate bike riding with dedication to the environment. I do it cause I'm cheap, gas is expensive, sitting in a car for an hour sucks, and riding a bike is fun. Sure, I believe in stewardship, but I'm not gonna stop eating meat and switch to single-ply toilet paper any time soon.
Finally I just thought, "The only way I'm gonna shut my brain up is if I pick this crap up." So I put my bike against one of the newspaper machines and started picking up paper. I felt like a kid that got pantsed in the lunchroom. I was sure everyone was watching me, and they all knew what my favorite super hero underwear was now. I tried to just get paper around me, like I'm not putting a ton of effort into it. You know, "I'm just doing this 'cause whatever, it's not like I need to pick up paper." The same way the cool, mysterious guy is about dating girls.
But the paper was dispersed perfectly to lead me along the entire length of the bus waiting area, picking up every sheet of newspaper. By the end I had a heaping hand full, and I had walked past every person standing there. As I stood up to head for the trash can, an older woman looked at me and said, "That's so good of you." My first thought was, "If it's so good, why didn't you do it yourself?" Again, quick, judgmental thoughts, not my favorite. I just smiled and shrugged. I was too nervous about how I was being perceived to have anything real to say. My options were "I'm not a crazy tree hugger!" or "I'm just anal, that's all." or maybe "If it's so good, why didn't you do it yourself?" As you can see, none were good answers, so I'm glad I had enough self control to not say anything. Looking around I saw that the trash can was all the way back by my bike, so I had to walk the gauntlet again, every set of eyes judging my choice of Spider-Man over Superman.
Now, I didn't post about this to brag or anything. It was a minute and a half of effort, nothing worth even a "that's so good of you." I just find it weird that I often find myself over-thinking these kinds of situations. I literally become embarrassed when I want to do something that I think is good. Don't get me started on offering a woman your seat on the train. You'd think it's a simple "of course." Well, trust me, it's somehow become and incredibly complicated dance that often leaves me feeling like I've insulted the woman I was trying to be nice to.
Or I'm just completely insane. That's always an option too.

I finally took a look at: >[3] A Proposed Interpretation of RDF Containers - > http://www-uk.hpl.hp.com/people/bwm/rdf/issues/containersyntax/ and think it does a pretty good job of cleaning up the messier container issues. I have come to view the RDFM&S constructs as useful, convenient ways to present containers whose contents are presented complely within a single document. A comment, for your consideration, concerning rdf:li as an attribute: Since you allow (example 3): [http://foo, rdf:_1, "1"] [http://foo, rdf:_1, "1 again"] why not just map rdf:li as an attribute to rdf:_1? Then example 4 would be: <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://badExample" rdf:li="a" rdf:_3="b"/> will generate: [http://badExample, rdf:_1, "a"] [http://badExample, rdf:_3, "b"] and doesn't have to be viewed as a "bad example". #gReceived on Wednesday, 31 January 2001 13:10:52 UTC

Hey all, nice to be here been lurking for years, decided to join finally.
Been skiing since i was five, am now 45, so that makes it 40 years now. Geez that sounds like a long damn time.... (although there have been a few dry years in there where i didn't ski at all so i guess that makes me a younger skier ???)
Grew up in N. Ontario and I was a decent junior racer in my day, but i stopped skiing much after high school, discovered beer in university, travelling, eating and got a bit tubby. Went out skiing with my high school racing buddy last year a few times and have the bug again. Getting back in shape, lost a pile of weight, and looking to ski my first race in 20 years this winter.
Aside from that, my main emphasis is trying to get my daughter, who is now 6 to love skiing as much as i do. My fingers are crossed that we get a better ski season here in S. Ontario than we had last year!

The regime propaganda is not working on Americans, who are much more worried about their drinking water than about global warming.
As much as I sometimes want to lose faith in Americans, sometimes I have to admit that they are quite admirable. Apparently, our countrymen are too practical to be scared by regime propaganda. When asked about their environmental concerns, they are more worried about their drinking water, about water pollution, and air pollution than they are about species extinction or the loss of tropical rainforests. Global warming or climate change came up dead last in their list of concerns. In fact, fewer than a third of Americans worry a great deal about global warming, while over half worry about their drinking water.
This was reported by Gallup, which conducted their annual environmental survey for this year to find that even fewer people worry a great deal about climate change than did in 2014 (34 percent v. 32 percent). It seems that the power of regime propaganda is fading. Perhaps overuse leads to impotence in this case.
Gallup posted a story about their survey: "In U.S., Concern About Environmental Threats Eases."
Americans' concern about several major environmental threats has eased after increasing last year. As in the past, Americans express the greatest worry about pollution of drinking water, and the least about global warming or climate change.
The results are based on Gallup's annual Environment survey, conducted March 5-8. Gallup trends on many of these items stretch back more than two decades. Last year's increased worry has proved temporary, with the current level of worry on each of the problems back to about where it was in 2013.
Despite ups and downs from year to year in the percentage worried about the various issues, the rank order of the environmental problems has remained fairly consistent over the decades. Americans express greater concern over more proximate threats — including pollution of drinking water, as well as pollution of rivers, lakes and reservoirs, and air pollution — than they do about longer-term threats such as global warming, the loss of rain forests, and plant and animal extinction.
The amount Americans worry about the various threats tends to rise and recede in unison, with concern higher in the late 1980s and early 1990s during the revival of environmentalism, and in the late 1990s and early 2000s amid the economic boom. Since then, Americans' worry has fallen, with concern dipping to record lows on most issues in 2010 or 2011. The current level of worry on each issue remains at or near those record lows.
That last paragraph makes me wonder if Americans aren't more prone to worry about global warming and other environmental threats—whether real or imagined—when the economy is doing well. In that case perhaps environmental concerns are luxuries Americans can afford to have when they aren't suffering from any real worries.
Meanwhile, FEMA is blackmailing state governors to confess global warming is true.

[This article was originally commissioned by the Jewish Chronicle, but run in a much shorter version]
Since my own wedding, ten years ago, I've had the honour of celebrating, as Rabbi, almost 200 weddings. I've seen babies be welcomed into the Jewish covenant and Bar Mitzvah kids become adults, I've celebrated long marriages, and sat on religious courts witnessing divorce. It's given me a certain insight into why and how people seek out a life partner – and what happens next. I've celebrated and commiserated with an entire range of those who come from strong nuclear families and also broken families and families full of anger. This web of experience has made me believe every more strongly in the holiness and beauty of married life.
I believe the desire to stand before God, families and friends and, in the name of a shared Jewish tradition, commit to a particular kind of loving commitment is rooted very deeply – certainly I feel it myself. This is why I support creating and supporting Jewish same-sex marriage ceremonies. This is why I am delighted the movement I serve, Masorti Judaism, is supporting its Rabbis and member Synagogues in choosing whether to perform such ceremonies both as religious ceremonies and also as civilly recognised marriages. As a Rabbi, a husband and a fellow Jew, I can't turn to a gay or lesbian Jew and deny them, in the name of the tradition I love, the strength I find in the ceremonies and rituals of hetrosexual marriage.
I'm know the Halachah, but the answer to the need gay and lesbian couples feel for committed loving companionship cannot come from a bare statement of Jewish law. Lesbian sexual activity is categorised in Halachah as an issur lav, that's the same categorisation as applies to married women who uncover their hair – but I officiate for brides who won't forevermore cover their hair. One form of gay sexual activity is prohibited by direct Torah mandate, that's the same categorisation as applies to couples who engage in intercourse at certain points in the menstrual cycle – but I don't extract sworn promises from straight couples that they will always follow rules of taharat hamishpacha – family purity.
I also know many of the non-legal Rabbinic commentaries on same-sex and hetrosexual coupling. One Midrash suggests Sodom was destroyed because its inhabitants wrote marriage contracts for gay couples. Maybe, but to my eyes the great sin of Sodom was of violent hatred, not committed love. Another Rabbinic text teaches 'no man without woman and no woman without man.' I have some empathy for those who claim hetrosexual coupling is 'more natural,' and also for those who claim children are best supported by having both male and female parents. But having a male and a female parent is no guarantee of a loving supported environment for children. More than that many of the same-sex families I know seem so attuned to the complex challenges of gendered parenting that these kinds of argument don't move me to seek to deny same-sex couples or families the blessings of a religious ceremony.
Same-sex ceremonies can't follow word-for-word the traditional hetrosexual model, based as it is, on kinyan, literally the acquisition of a woman by a man. But they should look like and sound like a Jewish wedding. It may feel odd at first, but comfort is not the goal by which all Jewish practice should be judged. The goal, for me, is to support Jews in finding a life-partner to love and with whom they can create a beit neeman b'yisrael – a faithful home in Israel. As the Torah teaches, 'it's not good for a person to be alone.'

Nail art design has become even more popular nowadays, as it's the best way of showing off your creativeness and fashion forward side.

Poor Greg was sick all last week with what I can only assume was stomach flu. He was weak as a kitten with chills and fever. He had no appetite so I threw last week's menu out the window since all he could keep down was a little toast and eventually, some chicken soup.
He's finally back to normal now, but like any illness, it's best not to over exert yourself even if you feel better. I've had my over ambition bite me in the butt numerous times after I thought I had recovered.
We went on a spending spree over the weekend. I bought a white leather settee. What was I thinking? White? But it looked chic and modern. It's going in the little area facing the kitchen. We used to keep a small dining room table and chairs there, but we already have a proper dining room, so I thought a little sitting area might be nicer.
Greg needs a place to sit while he watches me cook!
I like to mix traditional pieces with contemporary. I've never been overly enthusiastic about modern furniture, but lately it's appealed to me more. I like the more defined lines.
Still not sure about the white, but Greg liked it. Sadly, they didn't carry this style in other colors. I thought a gray or taupe might be more elegant. It was exceptionally comfortable though and that was the deciding factor.
I probably won't see it until after Thanksgiving, but I'll post pictures when it gets here and you can tell me if it's too white.
Do you have any white furniture in your house? Would you ever buy white furniture?

Tuneful Tuesdays are my weekly song recommendations of the moment. But don't expect the latest, hottest thing. A lot of it will be classics and throwbacks from the extensive jukebox in my head.
Today's track is "Better Than Today" by Kylie, from her eleventh studio album, Aphrodite.
I'm a little shocked the Aphrodite era didn't land as well as it should have. I felt like there was a great big push for "All the Lovers" (to me, it sounded like the Killers' "Human", an apt description because Stuart Price produced both songs). The rest of the singles from Aphrodite sputtered and died on impact. I went back and read the press from that era, and even Kylie feels let down. Aphrodite is a solid pop record.
When I first heard "Better Than Today," I heard a tune. It's the perfect pick-me-up song. No one else in the world could pull off cheerful advice like "what's the point of living if you don't wanna dance?" It shuffled up in my car when I was feeling particularly low the other day, and it lifted my spirit.
The video's colour palette (see above) could've used some lightening up, to match the bounce of the song. Oh well.
A tune is a tune is a tune.

10 things you should never say to a call girl
I have been asked all of the questions, and here is my take on some of them.
10. When someone asks me what my real name is, like Tracy Quan- I think stalker, and they are nosy.
9. When I am asked how much I earn I think they are rude, a pimp, or an inspector.
8. Is my best friend a call girl- I think nosy.
7. I've never paid for sex- sometimes I believe this, and am aware that the person is feeling guilty. In other cases I think he wants me to think he is a good guy.
6. Do you hate men- I think they are trying to stereotype me.
5. Does your family know everything about you- again I think they are crossing the line.
4. Your'e very articulate-trying to stereotype, an expectation that I should be some gibbering airhead.
3. You don't look like a call girl- I am thinking because my dress sense doesn't scream hooker.
Clearly, there are questions that I am asked by some regular clients, that I have a different response to as a different relationship has developed.

Sorry tales from guys hooked on hookers
It reminded me of an old escort friend of mine . She met a client who asked her to leave the industry, and he paid her a huge chunk of cash every month. Set her up in a plush pad in a very expensive part of town, and paid all her other expenses. All that he asked, was that she was available when he was in town, which was only a few times a year.
Well, this wasn't enough for my escort girlfriend. She chose to carry on working, and he discovered her ad in a mag. He challenged her, but he chose to continue to support her, and did so, until she left the industry.Clearly, he was not short of cash, but he could have chosen to spend it elsewhere.
The guys in the article seem to have got a raw deal, and don't sound like happy bunnies.

More of the same why men use prostitutes
I can only speak about my own experience of clients, and what I have picked up from escort friends. Most of my clients don't tell me that they feel guilty,awful, dirty after a booking. There are a few who have talked about their guilt at length. Some will argue that I am not representative of most of the women in the industry.
What I found interesting in the article, is the man who said he would feel cheated, if he knew an escort was enjoying herself. The flip side of the men who say that escorts are too professional.
Or the men who want you to come.
The findings show that most of these men claim that they would stop visiting prostitutes if the new law was enforced, but believe there would be more rapes.

A.It turns out he did: I forgot that I had shown him an ID when we first met. He reminded me after the Times piece came out. I really believed Patrick didn't know and therefore would have been incapable of outing me. In the end it turns out he was simply very trustworthy rather than actually kept in the dark. But for the most part, my accountant handled all the details. He set up the shell corporation which received payment for my writing, which then passed on the money to me as dividend payouts.
Q.On your blog recently, you considered whether men or women have it easier in life, and concluded that "if men had it easy, there wouldn't be prostitutes." Care to elaborate?
A.While there are many reasons why men go to prostitutes, I noticed a few trends that had to do with women. The inability to ask a partner for kinky sex, for instance, came up more than once. There were a couple of virgins as well, though that is less common now than it once was. And to some extent, my clients were men who were addicted to success. They knew I, as a call girl, would respond positively to their advances, whereas outside of the transaction a woman like me might not. After all, women are widely perceived as the gatekeepers to sex, so in theory they can have it as often as they like, and men do not get a say in that. It's not universally true of course, but that is a dominant dynamic.
Q.What's struck you about the controversy in the press that followed your revealing your identity?
A.There seems to be a lot of chatter in the U.K. papers surrounding me, about how my experience was a matter of class — though of course that isn't strictly true. It can affect the level of agency one has. I suppose it does take a certain amount of awareness of value for someone, even in dire financial straits, to be able to say "I will have sex for £200, not £30." That confidence can sometimes be more associated with social class, but I think it's more to do either with education or self-esteem, which are not necessarily related. In any case, the capability either to believe you deserve to be valued more, or to imagine that, is required wherever it comes to payment. In a way I see it as being similar to the question of who believes they are candidates for university education and who does not, regardless of origin or native intelligence.
Q.How do you respond to critics who say your work sanitizes and normalizes prostitution, luring women into a career that is, in their view, inherently ruinous?
A.It's a pity they think I'm the only one. If I had not written about the experience, I probably could have got away with never telling anyone, which would have been an attractive option — in fact, the one most women in the same situation make. I particularly like the word "luring." It comes up a lot; must be the evocative, almost onomatopoetic cadence — it sounds so corrupt and oily. And it makes no sense that I would be luring people into this. Where is the advantage for me for even more people to be working as escorts? Shouldn't I want all the quality clients to myself? They try to have it both ways: that I am an arch materialist only out for as much as I can get, and at the same time, that I am on a recruitment drive. It makes no sense really.
I have always tried to say on the blog and in interviews that prostitution is not a suitable career choice if you have doubts about your ability to handle it. Many women wrote to me asking advice and I tried to discourage most of them. You usually can tell even from an email who had their mind made up and who hasn't.
Q.What's a good predictor of being able to "handle it"?
A.Someone who asks about the specifics of the work, rather than how it feels or how I decided to do it. Someone whose requests show they've done research already, i.e. "I like Agency x and Agency y, which do you think would look after their girls better?" as opposed to "do you think I can do this without telling my boyfriend?"
Q.SuperFreakonomics profiles a woman, who goes by the name of Allie, a former computer programmer who turned to sex work and is now going back to school to study economics. Does the book's description of her ring true to you?
A.Yes, very much so. At the time I was writing I was in contact with courtesans who were also blogging, such as Jet Set Lara. The difference between my earnings and theirs was great, but I was probably having more actual sex while they earned far more. It's also covered in the TV series of my book, in fact –- Billie Piper's Belle starts earning a lot more when she stops the by-the-hour work and goes independent, setting her rates higher and having fewer clients.
Q.What of the question in SuperFreakonomics, then — why don't more women take to prostitution?
A.Sex with strangers squicks them out? I've noticed a tendency in some of my female friends to rationalize sex decisions they make — a hookup or one-night stand. If they had to do that several times a week, it would be tiring, if not emotionally devastating. Being able to divide sex-for-love and all-other-sex is not something especially usual.
Q.Is it especially strange seeing yourself portrayed on television, considering Piper's Belle is a kind of double of a double of you?
A.Very. At first it was uncomfortable because the show is an adaptation of the book, so it diverges from me pretty widely — someone even started a Facebook group called "Belle de Jour knows what a palindrome is!" because the character didn't. But because I was anonymous, I came to view it as an advantage: if people imagined Billie Piper was me, they would start looking for girls like that, rather than girls like me. It was an added measure of obfuscation I came to appreciate.
Q.You quit the escort business in 2004. What kind of work are you doing now?
A.I'm working on an E.U. project that is meant to be translating research into public policy. Specifically, we look at the evidence for pesticide exposures causing neurodevelopmental disorders. There are pesticides which are banned from indoor use in the U.S. for this reason, but they're still legal in E.U. So my job entails collating that evidence into coherent documents that policymakers would find approachable.
Q.Has anything you learned as a call girl proven useful in your life as a scientist?
A.It taught me a lot about being able to talk to a variety of people with different backgrounds and relating to their points of view. Also the value of listening to them instead of rabbiting on about Fact This and Evidence That quite so much. Also, the power of being a decent-looking blond woman in the world. People may not take you seriously at first but they don't resent your approach. Once the door is cracked open, it's up to you to show your value as an intelligent person. Leveraging my sexuality to promote my work? You bet.
Q.Do you expect your outing as Belle de Jour will affect your scientific work?
A.I imagine people will know who I am now, and I'll have to answer the same three questions over and over. But if I then get to shoehorn in something about the work I do, that's a price I can put up with.
Q.You've written a couple of bestselling books. Which writers do you look up to?
A.I'd love to be a Simon Singh someday, but in terms of my current writing abilities that's a long way off. It's a goal though.
Q.So you have a popular science book in the pipeline?
A.Well, I can rabbit on endlessly about chemoinformatics and the problems thereof. Whether anyone would enjoy reading that, outside the small group of people who do it, is another question. But starting with the proposition that if we were to make one of every possible drug-sized molecule that could exist, they would more than fill the entire universe. I think that's a compelling image and a good place to start when talking about the challenges of drug discovery.

Belle de Jour outs herself
But today the mystery was solved when a scientist from Bristol outed herself as Belle de Jour, the former escort behind the anonymous Diary of a London Call Girl.
Dr Brooke Magnanti kept quiet as a string of other writers were credited with her work, but after hearing she was about to be the subject of a Daily Mail exposé, the 34-year-old specialist in childhood cancer decided to reveal she was the real Belle, having worked as a prostitute to fund her PhD studies
Quotes from Belle de Jour revealed at last
This can put to rest all the rumours that Belle de Jour was a man, that Belle de Jour did not work in the industry at all.
I wonder whether she would have come out if the Mail were not going to expose her.
I had never imagined that she was a scientist. Interesting that the article states that loads of women who work in the industry are academics.

Escorts and advertising
I have never seen cards in phoneboxes where I live. However I have seen them in Westminster.
Well, as I was heading to do my food shop today, I was walking down the high street looking at the posters on the street walls. Wondering what concerts were on, in the next few months.
For the first time ever, I saw a huge poster, and it was an escort agency advertising their girls.
I could not believe what I was seeing, blatant, on the high street.
If Boris Johnson is going to try and block all escort mobile phones for the Olympics; he needs to get his team to get those posters down.

Punternet, Harriet Harman and Arnold Scharwzenegger
Harriet Harman is urging Schwarzenegger to 'terminate' prostitute website.
The website is Punternet where escorts are listed on the database, and where you can find reviews.
The Labour deputy leader told delegates at the Labour conference: "There is now a website… where pimps put women on sale for sex and then men who've had sex with them put their comments online. It is PunterNet and fuels the demand for prostitutes."
Harman said the site was based in California but had "pages and pages" of women for sale in London.
"I've raised it with the US ambassador to London and I've called on California's governor, Arnie Schwarzenegger, to close it down."
Harman said it should not be difficult for the star to "terminate PunterNet".
"And I've got news for him: if he doesn't, I'll be back," she quipped
So G, watch out you could be terminated.

Men who visit prostitutes and performance
What surprised me, was that he could not perform with his girlfriend. I wonder whether it is because he is used to different things from prostitutes, that she cannot provide.
I find it sad, and I guess that is why he has written to an agony aunt.
My understanding is that most of my clients can perform with their wives, it seems that they either want variety, or their wives are not up for it in the way that they are.

Ladies your phone may be cut off before the Olympics
I read the article and wondered whether the mobile phone networks are able to access every escort in the UK who has a mobile phone.
We shall see.

Dress code
She looked like she was wearing a black tshirt that was barely covering her ass, black patterned tights,and killer heels. The first thing that I saw as she walked past were her boobs. I took one look at her and thought she is an escort.
She had no care in the world. Walked into the hotel lobby, and all heads were turned. Porters were giggling, reception staff smirking. I wondered how she had the guts to leave her house looking the way she did.
Occasionally a client will request that I wear the shortest skirt or dress possible for a meeting. My response is always find someone else, I will not walk into a hotel dressed like that. Behind closed doors is another story.
It reminds me of the time I went to see Sarah Summers in Leeds. On my last night in Leeds Sarah came to have dinner at my hotel, and claimed most of the women in the restaurant were escorts. I couldn't figure out why.

Old flame
A few weeks ago on my way back from work, I bumped into my ex boyfriend's best mate. I broke up with E ten years ago. Anyway T, told me that E mentioned me the day before. I haven't seen E in ten years. Anyway, E told T that if he won the lottery, there are two people that he would look after for life, and I happened to be one of them. E said that myself, and another woman are the only genuine women he has dated in his life. E is a player,and has loads of women, and that is the reason that I left him.
T made me promise to call E that night, and I did. He was pleased to hear from me, and insisted on taking me out to dinner on Thursday. It was great to catch up with him, and I am sorry that I haven't kept in touch with him. There are some people that you can carry on with, where you left off, and E is one of them.
With all his flaws, he was there when I needed him. We went through some tough times together, and I shall never forget his support. His mum died in the time that I lost touch with him,and he doesn't seem the same,as he was her favourite. I wish I could have been there for him.
Hope all of you are well.

This is the sort of client that all escorts dread
In these situations you cannot take risks,the man was acting strangely. Thankfully it was taken to court.
I no longer do outcalls to homes, unless you are a regular.
I am aware this sort of thing could happen in a hotel, but there are more people around in hotels.
I had a friend whose client tried to strangle her in a well known hotel in the West end, the chambermaid heard her scream, and she was saved.

Catching up
My new job is really demanding. I have just come back from a two day conference in Manchester. A number of friends have come to London, and stayed with me. So, I have played tour guide, a number of times which I hate.
Thanks for all your emails saying how much you miss my blog posts.
I haven't read any of the message boards, or other industry blogs for ages, and it has felt great. I have a lot of catching up to do, clearing my inbox is a task in itself.
I still escort,but am very part time. It is a case of synchronising diaries with clients.
So A, I will see you when I see you ,don't worry.

Internet and phone privacy to end in Britain on Monday
This Black London escort will go back to snail mail now, and the contents of my emails will change dramatically. I think internet cafes will have an increase in business from Monday. From now on anything private will have to be discussed face to face, with family, friends and clients.
I wonder whether this new law will transform the way some clients communicate with escorts via email or phone?
These are changing times.

Internet dating sites
Yet, I have the guts to put up a professional escort site, and meet total strangers and .....
It just doesn't make sense, but I don't see it as the same thing.
*watches a number of readers scratch their heads*
I saw this site in a mag the other day, and could not believe my eyes. A different type of dating site, for people who want to have affairs.
Most of my clients say that it is easier to see an escort than have an affair. I am led to believe that is true for most men who see escorts.

Uproar in Switzerland over prostitute's burial
"If every woman that had children to raise alone turned to prostitution, the city of Geneva would be a bordello," said Amelia Christinat, a feminist and former member of the Swiss parliament who opposed Real's reburial.
Jacqueline Berenstein-Wavre, the first woman to head Geneva's parliament, also objected.
"No woman should rejoice at this transfer, which is nothing but the elevation of a prostitute and of prostitution in general by its male protectors," she told the daily Tribune de Geneve, which noted the scarcity of women buried in the honored ground, less than a quarter of the 350 graves.
I was not aware that discrimination existed in cemetries, but maybe someone can tell me otherwise.

Nia dark and Lovely people watching in London today
They were waiting for Wacko Jacko I have just looked at the urban dictionary definition and it is not quite what I expected.
I have a few of Michael's albums, Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad. I have never felt that I wanted to go and see him in concert. So, I don't really feel I am one of his fans.
That said, I waited outside the hotel with the Paparazzi and his fans to see if I could get a glimpse of him. It gave me some insight into what the paparazzi and his fans experience. I had a number of conversations with some of the paparazzi. Within half an hour of me standing on a plant pot(it took my weight) at the Lanesborough, he came out. The commotion that took place was unbelievable. The paparazzi are like a bunch of vultures.
I can't remember what happened, whether the minibus that Michael and his entourage were taking to the 02 arena, had the back door open; or whether the paparazzi opened it. Anyway, the door was open, and the paparazzi, were flashing their cameras like there was no tomorrow. The security could not do much for a while, it was amusing to watch.
I must say that all the security were proper hunks with lots and lots of muscle. All men in Black not wearing Armani suits.
I felt sorry for the fans, as the paparazzi got in their way, and some of them didn't get any photos. Poor things had been at the hotel all day waiting.
Something that I have been aware of for many years, is that total strangers, are able to give me confidential information, without me having to ask any questions. Someone in the know,who I had noticed when all the commotion was going on, gave me the lowdown on what happened behind closed doors. I am not easily shocked, but she shocked me.

Never again
I was overwhelmed by the feedback,and gifts I received from the team.Two colleagues baked cakes, and biscuits. It was so sweet. You all know how I love my food.
Since I started at the new job, I have let go of various pieces of work. There are not enough hours in the day, and I found myself shattered at the end of the week. I recognise I am fortunate during these hard times, but if I had carried on with everything, I would become ill.
It has been an experience with that nutter, but I have met some good people within that organisation.

Erotic review owner playing dirty
The owner of the Erotic review site, has been arrested on murder conspiracy charges.
An adult model sued him, and he tried to have her bumped off. This guy also forced an escort to perform oral sex at gunpoint, at some stage.
The lengths that some people will go to.
Well, it seems the long arm of justice has caught up with him.
Sometimes escorts need to think very carefully, about which sites, they advertise on. Some of these site owners are bonkers, and have no morals.

Decide how much you want to pay
I am not sure how much I would pay though, and actually prefer to be given a price, for fear of paying too little.
I think it could be open to abuse, though.
I wonder whether any London escort will go down this route?
It is bad enough having to deal with all the hagglers and men who quibble about prices, in the escort industry. Something that I had to deal with when I first started escorting.
I can see it now, an escort who is offering all services ie no holes barred, and lets the client decide how much he wants to pay. The client walks away without paying a penny.
Some escorts are willing to try anything to get more business, good luck to them.
I will go to this restaurant in Farringdon, and give you feedback on my meal.

The numbers on prostitution and sex in the UK don't add up
Some of the numbers are
- 80% of Prostitutes, escorts are controlled. This is a figure Fiona Mctaggart has come up with.
- Julia O 'Connell Davidson challenges this view as she says that 80% of the sexworkers who were described by receptionists in flats, brothels or agencies were described as foreign.Does this mean that they are controlled?
- In 2006, 515 raids were carried out on brothels over 4 months in Operation Pentameter. There were 232 arrests and 84 women were rescued.
- There were 822 raids in Operation Pentameter two, and 167 women were identified. The raids suggest that less than 80% of the women were trafficked.
- There are supposed to be 80,000 prostitutes/escorts working in the UK. These numbers are based on research that was done ten years ago.
- There are supposed to be 25,000 sex slaves in the UK.
- 70% of London's off street prostitutes/escorts are foreign nationals.
Do politicians and academics choose their data to support their stance?

I got your care package yesterday, reveuse47! :D Made me feel all sorts of better on my crummy day *hugs and kisses*
Is there a lawsuit in this? >:(
I've never had a problem with going to the dentist until yesterday... Had the usual -- fillings. My dentist was booked, so I ended up with a different guy...with the same last name (son?). Either way, he was the WORST dentist I've ever had. After kinda-sorta numbing me with the gel-y stuff, he gave me 3 shots of novocaine for my 3 cavities and started drilling. Apparently it wasn't enough to numb me because I started flailing in the chair due to the pain. So he gives me 6 more shots (2 more on each tooth) of novocaine (for those keeping count, that's 9 so far). Then he starts drilling again. Still feelin' it. So he decides to "let it set in" and leaves to watch the World Cup (WTF????). I'm sitting in the chair with my mouth clamped open, getting a migraine from my jaw being stretched out, and this guy's in the back cheering on his soccer team?? So I scream...more like yell...at this guy to come finish what he started. I've never expressed such anger in public before, but come on. He finishes up the filling on the right-side of my mouth and moves on to the left-side. By now, the novocaine he shot into the left side had already started to wear off...and once again I am in pain. 4 more shots. Still nothing...4 MORE shots. By now, I've had 17 EFFING SHOTS OF NOVOCAINE, K? My left arm started to go numb, but I could still feel him drilling on my teeth. I'm convinced that he stuck me in the wrong place -_- I decide to give up and just take it like a man. By the time I got done I had tears in my eyes from the pain, it hurt to close my mouth, and both my arms were limp from squeezing the armrests. Oh, and not to mention all my teeth were hurting because my cavities were all between my teeth, so he had to hammer in a steel wedge in there to reach them. Both my cheeks are swollen today and my gums hurt from all the needle poking :(
Is there a lawsuit in this? >:(

Black Walnut Cutting Board
If you're a serious cook, this is a cutting board to consider — beautiful, but also wonderfully utilitarian. It was the utilitarian side of things that won us over as we chopped, sliced, and diced on it month over month. In a kitchen with cutting boards stacked in the corner, this one became the favored to cut on. For each board, black walnut is cut to just the right thickness and dimension. Each resulting cutting board is substantial and sturdy, with plenty of surface area to work. That said, it's not overly large or heavy, making it easy to move around the kitchen, clean, or carry to the table as a serving board. Rounded edges soften the aesthetic without compromising functionality. Also, it is dead flat. And, with care, will remain that way — so, on a level surface, it won't rock or shimmy as you chop.
Like Swedish designer Magnus Lundström's white marble mortar and pestle, this minimal and quietly beautiful board is a kitchen essential we're confident you'll come to love as much as we do. The Black Walnut is sustainably grown and harvested in northeast Iowa.
To maintain your board for many years, dry it with a natural cloth after washing and rub it with something like spoon butter on occasion if it's looking parched. Don't leave it sitting in water—if it becomes soaked, it will warp.

John Vernon leads a terrorist assault on a floating casino, hoping his threat to nuke the vessel and its passengers will make the president of the United States hand over a ship full of gold bullion.
Richard Harris plays the officer who puts his life on the line (as the actor puts his talent on hold) to foil the plot. This amateurish caper, based on the novel by Alistair MacLean, is Goldfinger at sea, without James Bond, Pussy Galore or a decent villain.

Guest blog by Julie Potyraj; read her previous post on community health here
For most of us, the point of choosing sustainably grown foods is to protect our own health and to minimize environmental damage. While these are important reasons for making better choices at the grocery store, what about the human side and the health of those who labor in the fields of the world? Can selecting foods that are grown more sustainably with methods such as integrated crop management also be more ethical?
To answer that question, we must start with the number 1.3 billion. That's how many agricultural laborers there are in the world. Of that number, up to 41 million are affected every year as a result of pesticide poisoning. That means 32% of this group are harmed by the use of pesticides ever year. Continue reading

Sola Sobowale, Toyin Abraham shine in Wives on Strike: the revolution
They join other popular actors Chioma Akpotha, Uche Jombo and Elvina Ibru to light up the sequel to last year's hit, which was released in cinemas nationwide same year.
Featuring Omoni, Chioma, Uche, Ufuoma Mcdermott, Julius Agwu, and Keneth Okonkwo in lead roles, it was to zest up the movie and further add to its wholesome package that producer and director, Omoni, engaged Toyin, Odunlade Adekola, Sola, Saka, Chigurl and many others.
The first sequel of the Wives on Strike followed the story of a group of market women, who decided to take matters into their own hands against their husbands in a bid to stir them into standing up for a young girl, who they wanted to protect from the wishes of her own father.
Toyin, who played the role of Mama Bola, speaking with her fans via her social media handle page, asked the fans of the movie to keep their fingers crossed, as they are about to see the next biggest thing happen in Nollywood.
The movie was due for cinema release from yesterday, December 29.

start from scratch(redirected from start again from scratch)
start from scratch
To begin from the very beginning without the aid or advantage of something that is already prepared or completed. A noun or pronoun can be used between "start" and "from." The folder with my outline and notes got deleted, so now I have to start the whole project again from scratch. We don't have time to start from scratch, so let's just use some cake mix from a box.
start from scratch
to start from the very beginning; to start from nothing. Whenever I bake a cake, I start from scratch. I never use a cake mix in a box. I built every bit of my own house. I started from scratch and did everything with my own hands.
start from scratch
Start at the beginning with no advantage. The scratch line was a stripe across the ground where a race began. Starting from scratch meant having no advantage against others in the race where handicaps allowed some entrants shorter distances to run.

Single Family
Home ownership is an important part of living the American dream. And purchasing a single family home often represents a family's largest single investment, and naturally involves careful consideration of a number of factors. These include not only the basics, such as the number of bedrooms and bathrooms and other aspects of the house itself, but also the length of commute to important business districts, anticipated length of ownership, area schools, and amenities and services. Miami-Dade County includes a number of communities with a considerable inventory of great single family homes for sale, including Coral Gables,Coconut Grove, the Ponce-Davis area, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Kendall, South Miami, and Key Biscayne. Our team of professionals directs clients to homes that meet their needs and budgets – we will never underestimate your specific needs, and we do not over-sell.

Old-School Gym Invasion
I have met some of the most interesting, intelligent and compassionate people while training BJJ. But, I'm sure you will agree, jiu-jitsu can attract some bizarre individuals, and on occasion the mats bear witness to some all-out weirdness.
I sat down with my coach, recently retired UFC veteran, Danny "Cheesecake Assassin" Mitchell to break down some of the more peculiar experiences he'd had in a lifetime in the martial arts.
One incident that stood out was the occurrence of the oft-fabled gym invasion.
On a grey morning in Doncaster, Danny — then an eighteen-year-old blue belt — was teaching a small class of students. A "pretty jacked up guy" walked through the door, eying up the proceedings. After delivering his technique (a triangle choke from guard), he approached the newcomer assuming, naturally that here was a prospective member. After introducing himself, he was met with a rather unexpected response, "this is shit," the bald-headed newcomer belligerently stated. "What do you mean?" questioned Danny. "It's fucking bullshit, this doesn't work, I'd smash my way out of that," the man replied.
The situation escalated quickly from there. Unsurprisingly offended, Danny offered the unbeliever the opportunity to test his hypothesis. The antagonist didn't need asking a second time, sprinting onto the mats and lunging at the, then young grappler. Not wasting the chance to prove the efficiency of his jiu-jitsu, Danny quickly put him into closed guard, throwing up his long legs and sinking in a triangle. I would posit, this is where the dude began to seriously regret his life choices.
Like the drowning man as panic sets in, he soon became desperate. "He used his fingers and was literally gauging my face – putting his hands in my eyes and shit like that," remembers Danny.
Ensuring the choke was as tight as possible, Danny under-hooked a leg to prevent being slammed. With zero chance of escape the man's bald noggin began to swell, veins protruded violently, the unrelenting squeeze deprived him of the life-affirming flow of oxygen. Akin to jiu-jitsu's belts the colour of his head changed incrementally from white to blue before ending up at purple. After this final promotion he took a well-deserved trip to Snooze Town.
The stunned class turned to Danny for some clarification to what the hell was going on; encouraging them to carry on rolling, he dragged the unconscious body unceremoniously to the edge of the mats. Awaking from his forced slumber, the guy unsteadily got to his feet, leaving without another word.
Pondering why this ever happened, why did this guy come to his gym of all places? Danny doesn't think that he was intentionally sought out. At the time MMA was in its infancy in the U.K. and Danny was the proverbial "skinny youth"; hardly an imposing figure. He explains "Maybe he thought he'd come to some MMA class and he thought we're all going to be punching each other and we're rolling around on the floor and he thought it was a bit shit."
Randomly, years later, on a night out, Danny ran into his bald challenger, who happened to be working behind the bar. There was to be no repeat (being brutally choked usually rids one of their misconceptions about jiu-jitsu!) as he hooked Danny up with free drinks the entire night. "Sorry for getting off on the wrong foot," he apologetically noted. Perhaps, the understatement of all understatements.
In the battle of jiu-jitsu against all-out idiocy, there can only be one winner.

After the polls had closed, on Sky TV, Peter Kellner of YouGov, who produced what turned out to be a pretty accurate exit poll on the night, said that he thought there had been a late swing to No from people not wanting to 'take the risk' of independence. In the end the bankers, politicians and the market got what they wanted - the 'correct result' - which I referred to in my last post, a result which was intended to retain 'business as usual' and prevent Scotland developing a progressive alternative to neoliberal austerity - not to mention keeping the oil and Trident.
So in the end 'Project Fear' delivered a 'no' vote by 55% to 45%. This was presented as a 10 point gap and a veritable landslide. Whilst that might hold true for a general election, the fact is that Yes failed by 5% + 1 vote to make Scotland an independent country. What's more Yes turned out to be much more heavily skewed towards the younger voter, which means that independence is more or less inevitable in the not too distant future unless those who want to keep the union can come up with some much more compelling and positive messages.
Where did Yes go wrong? Maybe Salmond and the SNP were too careful for their own good. The biggest single mistake was the currency. Although currency union was possible, despite what the No side said, it was never desirable. To be independent a country needs its own currency and central bank, and that is the option they should have gone for. As it was Alastair Darling used 'currency union' and 'lack of a plan B' as an effective club to beat Salmond with in the first televised debate, something that Salmond should have handled much better, and never quite recovered from. Despite the failure of the Yes campaign, Salmond has had a remarkable political career and has achieved far more than most politicians. His will be a lasting legacy.
For those who saw the Yes campaign for what it was, a fight for democracy, not nationalism, it's not all doom and gloom though. The Yes campaign energised and radicalised thousands of Scots, many of whom are determined to remain politically active and punish the 'No' parties. Membership of the SNP has soared as has that of the Scottish Greens. This bodes ill for Labour, who are seen as the main culprits for defeat by the Yes voters. If they can maintain momentum up to the general election, Labour will have a real fight on its hands and could loose seats.
Not only that, but there is a big shake up coming South of the border, where it's recognised that more powers for Scotland must lead to constitutional reform in England, because of the 'West Lothian question' - Scottish MPs voting on legislation which affects England only. But the effect of the 'West Lothian question' has been exaggerated, there are relatively few laws in Parliament which affect only England and there is no real reason why Scottish MPs elected to a UK parliament shouldn't be able to vote on all bills. And, according to Will Hutton in the Observer:
'... mySociety finds that of 5,000 votes in the House of Commons since 1997, only 21 depended on the votes of Scottish MPs'Its much more difficult to disentangle 'English' legislation from that affecting other parts of the UK than you might think. Despite that, after the referendum result, the Tories and UKIP immediately jumped on the 'EVEL' bandwagon and sought to bounce the other parties into a settlement that suited them alone by making more powers for Scotland conditional on Scottish MPs becoming second-class members of the House of Commons.
As far as constitutional change is concerned there is still all to play for. It couldn't realistically happen without a constitutional convention being set up, and that takes time, making it something that will have to happen beyond the next general election. As someone who lives in the North of England it could only work for me if there were regional devolution for the Northwest, and I'm sure the same is true for many others in the North and West of England. An English parliament offers us next to nothing. And so, despite the victory for Project Fear UK politics is having a good shake up and will never be quite the same again. The 45% have ensured there can be no return to 'business as usual'. Real change has to happen.

Let's play at Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey scratch game
4.5 out of 5 - from 20 votes
Rate this game:
Time and again, gaming software developers have had great success designing video slots around popular movies. In 1989, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey followed the adventures of two California guys as they used a phone both for time travel to meet historical figures. In 2008, Microgaming designed and released a video slot based on the movie. Much of the game centers around real video clips from the movie, which makes for laughter and enjoyment. The audio features include loud rock music, plus some of the priceless quotes used by Bill and Ted during the movie.
It's not a surprise that Microgaming's game developers came up with a unique game format to mimic what has become a unique cult film. The 3-reel matrix is contained within a phone booth. There is a total of 5 pay lines. Players are permitted to select a coin value of between $.10 per pay line on the low end, up to a maximum of $2.00 per pay line. Only one coin is allowed to be wagered on each spin. With a total maximum bet of $2.00 per line, players can win a maximum jackpot of $20,000.
All of the game's standard symbols are represented by characters from the movie. They include, Bill, Ted, Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon and Genghis Khan among others. The wild stallions symbol serves as the game's wild symbol. It will be used as a substitute for everything except the scatter symbol (phone booth) and the bonus symbol (game logo).
If the player lands 3 or more scatter symbols, they earn the chance to play the interactive Circuits of Time bonus game. During the game, players are required to shoot planets as they are flying in space. For each plant they hit, the earn free spins. After the shooting has concluded, the free spins are played with random multipliers of 10X, up to a maximum of 1000X.
The Guitar Bonus feature is initiated on a random basis during the base game. If selected, the player is taken to a secondary screen where they have to use a lightning bolt to hit the right string on the guitar. If successful, free spins are awarded with 8X-500X multipliers.
Verdict: It's a strange looking game with strange looking features. That seems appropriate when one considers how strange the movie was back in the day. It's not the most exciting video slot in the world, but the video features, interactive bonus game and music soundtrack are enough to make it a game worth consideration.

We just finished presenting the second webinar in a five-part series on Creating a Successful Law Firm Intranet. This time the topic was intranet design, and we included the five areas of intranet design as well as a law firm case study. Amy Witt talked about requirements, project plans, and staffing; Laurie Southerton talked about architecture and visual design; and Meredith Williams gave an inside look at the design process within her firm, Baker Donelson. The session was well-attended and jam-packed with great information!
After the session, a response to some feedback was posted on the Law Firm Intranet blog regarding the role of the library and your intranet. During the webinar session, librarians were inadvertently left off the list of those who should be involved, which was obviously an oversight. We won't let that happen again!
The next three webinars in the series will focus on the next consecutive phases of intranet design: develop, rollout, and maintain/measure. Mark your calendars to attend, and more information will be posted as registration opens for each session. For those of you who want to hear it all, there will be an option to purchase the rest of the series as well as purchase recordings of the first two sessions.
Webinar 3: Intranet Development: Develop with users.
Wednesday, July 23 12-1:00 p.m. CDT
Webinar 4: You built it, now will they come? Plan the successful Intranet rollout.
Wednesday, August 20 12-1:00 p.m. CDT
Webinar 5: Measure & maintain: Planning your Intranet's future.
Wednesday, September 24 12-1:00 p.m. CDT
Stay tuned for more details.

However, there's a simple workaround for this. Generate a query URL using the bugzilla web UI, and pass it to /usr/bin/bugzilla like:
bugzilla query --from-url "$url"
That's it! Then you can tweak the output as you want using --outputformat or similar. This also works for savedsearch URLs as well.
So, say I go to the bugzilla web UI and say 'show me all open, upstream libvirt bugs that haven't received a comment in since 2013'. It generates a massive URL. Here's what the URL looks like:
Just pass that that thing as $url in the above command, and you should see the same results as the web search (if your results aren't the same, you might need to do 'bugzilla login' first to cache credentials).
This is also easy to do via the python API:
#!/usr/bin/python import bugzilla bzapi = bugzilla.Bugzilla("bugzilla.redhat.com") buglist = bzapi.query(bzapi.url_to_query("URL")) for bug in buglist: print bug.summary ....
The caveat: as of now this only works with bugzilla.redhat.com, which has an API extension that allows it to interpret the URL syntax as regular query parameters. My understanding is that this may be available upstream at some point, so other bugzilla instances will benefit as well.

I wonder what would happen if even a small percentage of people who use cannabis came out and admitted it?

Marijuana Smackdown I
Several weeks ago I saw an article published in a nationally recognized web-based magazine that approached marijuana legalization in a very irresponsible and intellectually dishonest manner. At that time I said I would go through that article point by point. I have changed my mind. However, over the next few weeks, I will post several little mini-articles that address some of the most prevalent myths concerning marijuana.
Any controversial issue such as cannabis legalization can be a touchy subject. In addition to getting folks all fired up the web and TV are filled with inaccurate information. My goal is to simply state my opinion. Most of my posts will deal with recreational marijuana because in my opinion medical marijuana doesn't seem to cause as much confusion as legalization.
- Seven states and the District of Columbia have made the recreational use of cannabis legal. Many people I have heard from are having a difficult time understanding the legal but regulated use of cannabis. Just think alcohol. The government sets a legal age of consumption and regulations that make it clear as to the particulars of use. While there is variance in the state laws concerning cannabis use and consumption there are also many similarities just are there are with alcohol laws and use across America.
One issue all of the states that have legalized cannabis agree on is the age of people who are legally allowed to use cannabis. Here is a rundown of the legal age to purchase and consume cannabis. Do you notice a similarity amongst the ages that each state has set for use?
California 21
Oregon 21 years
Washington 21 years
District of Columbia 21 years
Nevada 21 years
Massachusetts 21 years
Maine 21 years
Colorado 21 years
Alaska 21 years

The science is in: meditation works! Tapping into your subconscious can accelerate your ability to manifest your full potential.
Meditation has been scientifically proven to help you regulate emotions, decrease anxiety, increase your focus and attention, and boost your self-control. A regular meditation practice has a huge impact on how you show up in the world!
The more focused and positive and creative you are, the more success you'll achieve in everything you do.
But if you've never meditated before – or if you've tried it a few times but never really kept up with it – incorporating it into your life as a regular practice can be challenging.
That's why Jack partnered with a renowned psychotherapist to create a meditation system that anyone can use to gain the clarity, focus, motivation, and self-confidence they need to achieve their goals in life.

This groundbreaking program walks you step-by-step through a 12-session program to:
Let go of past programming. If your subconscious beliefs conflict with the outcomes you're consciously affirming, you're guaranteed to fail. The subconscious wins … every time.
Visualize what you want. Your subconscious can't tell the difference between a real and imagined event. When it "sees" what you want to achieve, it will find ways to make your dreams come true.
Tune into your inner wisdom. Meditation provides the stillness you need to hear the quiet voice of your intuition, which holds the answers you need to achieve your goals.
Perfect for beginners or experienced mind-body practitioners alike.

This poster, which you can hang in a place to see it regularly (over your computer, above your desk, on the refrigerator, on your closet door), will remind you of these small actions, and inspire you to keep your habits of manifestation going strong.
The accompanying PDF goes into detail about each discipline, offering ways to practice each one regularly. These 6 daily disciplines have a cumulative effect on your ability to manifest.
