Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson admits cocaine use
LONDON (AP) Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson admitted in court Wednesday that she had taken cocaine, but denied being a habitual user. She accused her ex-husband of trying to "destroy" her, during a lacerating day of testimony that laid bare a materially affluent but deeply troubled marriage.
Lawson said her former husband Charles Saatchi, a millionaire art collector, spread drug rumors about her after he was photographed gripping her throat outside Scott's restaurant in London.

Study finds most US silent films have been lost
WASHINGTON (AP) The vast majority of feature-length silent films made in America have been lost due to decay and neglect over the past 100 years, allowing an original 20th century art form to all but disappear, according to a study released Wednesday.
The Library of Congress conducted the first comprehensive survey of silent films over the past two years and found 70 percent are believed to be lost. Of the nearly 11,000 silent feature films made in America between 1912 and 1930, the survey found only 14 percent still exist in their original format. About 11 percent of the films that survive only exist as foreign versions or on lower-quality formats. »Read Full Article

Web service
A Web service is a method of communications between two electronic devices over the World Wide Web. It is a software function provided at a network address over the web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing.
The W3C defines a Web service as:
[...] a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. It has an interface described in a machine-processable format (specifically WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP messages, typically conveyed using HTTP with an XML serialization in conjunction with other Web-related standards.[1]
The W3C also states:
We can identify two major classes of Web services:
- REST-compliant Web services, in which the primary purpose of the service is to manipulate XML representations of Web resources using a uniform set of stateless operations; and
- Arbitrary Web services, in which the service may expose an arbitrary set of operations.[2]
Web API[edit]
A web API is a development in web services where emphasis has been moving to simpler representational state transfer (REST) based communications.[3] RESTful APIs do not require XML-based web service protocols (SOAP and WSDL) to support their light-weight interfaces.
XML web services[edit]
XML web services use eXtensible Markup Language (XML) messages that follow the SOAP standard and have been popular with traditional enterprises. In such systems, there is often a machine-readable description of the operations offered by the service written in Web Services Description Language (WSDL). The latter is not a requirement of a SOAP endpoint, but is a prerequisite for automated client-side code generation in many Java and .NET SOAP frameworks (frameworks such as Apache Axis2, Apache CXF, Spring, and gSOAP being notable exceptions). Some industry organizations, such as the WS-I, mandate both SOAP and WSDL in their definition of a web service.
Automated design methods[edit]
Automated tools can aid in the creation of a web service. For services using WSDL, it is possible to either automatically generate WSDL for existing classes (a bottom-up model) or to generate a class skeleton given existing WSDL (a top-down model).
- A developer using a bottom-up model writes implementing classes first (in some programming language), and then uses a WSDL generating tool to expose methods from these classes as a web service. This is simpler to develop but may be harder to maintain if the original classes are subject to frequent change.[4]
- A developer using a top-down model writes the WSDL document first and then uses a code generating tool to produce the class skeleton, to be completed as necessary. This model is generally considered more difficult but can produce cleaner designs and is generally more resistant to change. As long as the message formats between sender and receiver do not change, changes in the sender and receiver themselves do not affect the web service. The technique is also referred to as contract first since the WSDL (or contract between sender and receiver) is the starting point.[5]
Web services that use markup languages[edit]
There are a number of web services that use markup languages:
- Web template
- Web Services Description Language (WSDL) from the W3C
- XML Interface for Network Services (XINS) provides a POX-style Web service specification format
- Web Services Conversation Language (WSCL)
- Web Services Flow Language (WSFL) (superseded by BPEL)
- WS-MetadataExchange
- Representational state transfer (REST) versus remote procedure call (RPC)
- XML-RPC - XML Remote Procedure Call
Critics of non-RESTful web services often complain that they are too complex[6] and based upon large software vendors or integrators, rather than typical open source implementations.
There are also concerns about performance due to web services' use of XML as a message format and SOAP/HTTP in enveloping and transporting.[7]

Walk into some government offices, and you might think it's the 1980s again.
The Federal Register is the daily journal of the US government, posting everything from laws and executive orders to proposed rule changes for the public to see. How they acquire this information, however, would make you think that time is frozen in this agency's headquarters.
Jada Smith at The New York Times has the unfortunate news:
The Federal Register employees who take in the information for publication from across the government still receive some of it on the 3.5-inch plastic storage squares that have become all but obsolete in the United States.
Um, wow. I remember when my family and I had floppy disks...I think we sold them at a garage sale along with my Furbies.
Now, laughably, it seems like government employees may have been our first customers. The New York Times goes on to explain that some agencies have yet to upgrade to a secure email system because the move is too expensive, leaving critics pointing to the other technological debacle that is healthcare.gov.
Meanwhile, experts say that an administration that prided itself on its technological savvy has a long way to go in updating the computer technology of the federal government. HealthCare.gov and the floppy disks of The Federal Register, they say, are but two recent examples of a government years behind the private sector in digital innovation.
Hey, at least the president can tweet.
A Brookings Institution study from June 2009 revealed just how far behind the government is from the private sector in regards to technology, with private companies pulling ahead in just about every area. In a comparison of their overall technology innovation ratings, corporations earned an average of 65, while the Federal Government earned a mere 51. What's more, private companies well outpaced the government in its offering of electronic services. In regards to providing audio clips alone, the government was behind by nearly 30 percent.
I like the advice the Brookings researchers offer at the end of the study:
"The public sector could become more innovative and entrepreneurial if it could involve citizens further in key decisions.â€
Ditch the floppy disks, then we'll talk.
Hey, remember the IRS scandal? You know, when the IRS specifically singled out conservative tea party groups for extra scrutiny and bullying in order to squash opposition to Barack Obama going into the 2012 presidential election? Remember when President Obama said he was outraged to find out the IRS had been abusing its power to intimidate those who disagree with the administration politically? Yeah...about that.
Last week during an interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews, President Obama pretty much dismissed the scandal as faux outrage from conservative groups because they were "on a list."
OBAMA: That's not — that's not something that's reported about. If, on the other hand, you've got an office in Cincinnati, in the IRS office that — I think, for bureaucratic reasons, is trying to streamline what is a difficult law to interpret about whether a nonprofit is actually a political organization, deserves a tax exempt agency. And they've got a list, and suddenly everybody's outraged.
At one point President Obama claimed he was outraged, but his interview with Matthews reveals it was all an act after his administration got caught (again) abusing its power in order to get him safely re-elected. As a reminder, that "list" Obama is referring to included more than 500 groups that were singled out for the following:
-People teaching about constitutional rights
-Tea Party
-"Anti-Obama" materials
Over to you, Kim Strassel:
Was the White House involved in the IRS's targeting of conservatives? No investigation needed to answer that one. Of course it was.
Despite being one of the bluest states in the country and one of the first to implement state based Obamacare exchanges, doctors in California are boycotting Obamacare...a whopping 70 percent of them.
An estimated seven out of every 10 physicians in deep-blue California are rebelling against the state's Obamacare health insurance exchange and won't participate, the head of the state's largest medical association said. "It doesn't surprise me that there's a high rate of nonparticipation,†said Dr. Richard Thorp, president of the California Medical Association. Thorp has been a primary care doctor for 38 years in a small town 90 miles north of Sacramento. The CMA represents 38,000 of the roughly 104,000 doctors in California.
So why exactly the push back? Under Obamcare, doctors are practically expected to work for free.
"We need some recognition that we're doing a service to the community. But we can't do it for free. And we can't do it at a loss. No other business would do that,†he said. California offers one of the lowest government reimbursement rates in the country -- 30 percent lower than federal Medicare payments. And reimbursement rates for some procedures are even lower.
Once again the argument that Republicans are blocking Obamacare's implementation and fear mongering about the law is completely blown out of the water. This isn't the first time we've seen major concerns or push back against Obamcare in the Golden State. Earlier this year, top California Democrat and Insurance Commission Dave Jones warned about fraud and identity theft risks posed to consumers on the exchanges.
The state insurance commissioner and anti-fraud groups say the exchange is falling short in ensuring that the people hired as counselors are adequately screened and monitored. Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones also said the exchange does not have a plan for investigating any complaints that might arise once the counselors start work. That means consumers who might fall prey to bogus health care products, identity theft and other abuses will have a hard time seeking justice if unscrupulous counselors get ahold of their Social Security number, bank accounts, health records or other private information, he said. "We can have a real disaster on our hands," Jones, a Democrat, said in an interview.
Doctors boycotting Obamacare is the least of our worries, the biggest problem is doctors choosing the leave medicine completely as a result of the healthcare law. According to a recent survey, more than 60 percent of doctors plan to leave medicine early as Obamacare changes the way America does medicine.
Most physicians have a pessimistic outlook on the future of medicine, citing eroding autonomy and falling income, a survey of more than 600 doctors found. Six in 10 physicians (62%) said it is likely many of their colleagues will retire earlier than planned in the next 1 to 3 years, a survey from Deloitte Center for Health Solutions found. That perception is uniform across age, gender, and specialty, it said. Another 55% of surveyed doctors believe others will scale back hours because of the way medicine is changing, but the survey didn't elaborate greatly on how it was changing. Three-quarters think the best and brightest may not consider a career in medicine, although that is an increase from the 2011 survey result of 69%. "Physicians recognize 'the new normal' will necessitate major changes in the profession that require them to practice in different settings as part of a larger organization that uses technologies and team-based models for consumer (patient) care," the survey's findings stated.
If you think liberals are concerned about a doctor shortage, think again. Just a few weeks back liberal Salon writer Matt Yglesias told "whiny" doctors to shut up about lesser pay under Obamacare and Democrats on Capitol Hill have offered no serious solutions to solving a doctor crisis and or the lack of reimbursement costs.
At the darkest moment of the War for Independence, Thomas Paine penned a trenchant pamphlet which helped inspire George Washington's Christmas attack on Trenton. Brion McLanahan tells his story for the December issue of Townhall Magazine.
On December 24, 1781, George Washington wished Gen. William Heath to "spend a happy and merry Christmas, a thing that has not happened for some years past.†Christmas had been an unpleasant time for the American soldier during the American War for Independence and in the dark year of 1776, the season almost signaled the end of the cause. Washington certainly thought so.
He wrote just a week before Christmas in 1776 that if he failed to receive reinforcements, "I think the game will be pretty well up, as from disaffection and want of spirit and fortitude, the inhabitants, instead of resistance, are offering submission and taking protection from Gen. Howe in Jersey.â€
For Washington's ill-equipped, poorly clothed, and dispirited men, malaise and fear, rather than hope and confidence marked the hour. It had been many months since the American cause seemed bright.
Happier Times 1776 began promising enough. In February, colonists in North Carolina won a decisive victory at the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge near Wilmington. This helped check British incursions into the state and rallied many wavering supporters of independence. Just one week later, Gen. Henry Knox began a siege of Boston with captured cannons from Fort Ticonderoga. The bombardment had the desired effect. Within two weeks, the British evacuated the city and New England was freed from British control.
When the British army again attempted to invade the South in June 1776 at Charleston, S.C. the intrepid and enterprising South Carolina militia, led by Col. William Moultrie, repulsed the larger force and destroyed or damaged every British ship in Charleston Harbor. The American colonies began declaring their independence in June, and the Second Continental Congress approved Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence in July, a task made easier with military success, though not without resistance. Morale was high and military enrollment surged regardless of poor provisions and uncertain pay.
Bohemian Patriot One such volunteer was the famous 39-year-old pamphleteer Thomas Paine. Paine was a recent citizen of Pennsylvania, having only arrived from London at the insistence of Benjamin Franklin in 1774.
He was intense, brilliant, and passionate, but prone to laziness. One historian even referred to his life as "bohemian.â€
Paine, though, was selflessly dedicated to the cause of independence. His "Common Sense,†published in January 1776, is often regarded as the singular tract that pushed a majority of Americans to support separation from Great Britain. More than 500,000 copies were printed and the pamphlet was read in taverns and homes, as well as by the leading members of American society. Everyone, both friend and foe of independence, knew it and read it.
Washington wrote that "Common Sense,â��� was "working a wonderful change...in the minds of many men.†John Adams believed that, "Without the pen of the author of Common Sense, the sword of Washington would have been raised in vain.†He later wrote to his wife Abigail, "I could not have written any thing in so manly and striking a style.â€
And Paine did not simply give lip service to the cause. He donated his meager profits (most of the copies were published without Paine receiving any proceeds) to help supply American troops, and joined the army in 1776, at a rank no higher than junior officer. The most famous writer in America put aside his fame and joined the masses in the cause of liberty.
A Turn for the Worse Paine was with the army when the military effort rapidly deteriorated in the summer of 1776. After British Gen. William Howe evacuated Boston in March, he took aim at New York, and consolidated forces there for a frontal assault against George Washington and the main body of the Continental Army.
Concurrently, Howe offered an "olive branch†to wavering Americans and ensured that the British martial display outshined anything the Americans sent to the field. The British, in their bright red uniforms, shiny accoutrements, and rousing drum processions, outclassed the American army of rag-tag militia dressed in homespun cloth. The British looked and acted as professionals. Some American soldiers lacked boots. This dichotomy caused some Americans to rethink their support for separation.
British military success in the late summer and early fall of 1776 made the choice easier still. Howe began punishing the American army in New York, winning the Battle of Long Island and dislodging the American army from New York City, which promptly suffered a great fire. Washington lost again at the Battle of White Plains and was forced to retreat and split his army.
The Other Benedict Arnold Some members of the Continental Congress grew restless as intrigue and insubordination from American Gen. Charles Lee weakened Washington's effort. Though virtually unknown to the American public, Charles Lee should be placed in the same category as Benedict Arnold. The short, unclean, narcissistic general believed he should be commanding the Continental Army, not Washington. His military reputation was built on falsehoods, fairytales, and legend. Lee took credit for the victory at Sullivan's Island, though if his orders had been followed the outcome would have been different. He refused to come to Washington's aid and wrote letters to high level American officials complaining of Washington's leadership.
In November 1776, the Continental Army lost Fort Washington on the Hudson River, and in the process one British soldier said, "the rebels fled like scared rabbits,†and left behind artillery, small arms, "some poor pork, a few greasy proclamations, and some of that scoundrel 'Common Sense' man's letters, which we can read at our leisure now that we have got one of the 'impregnable redoubts' of Mr. Washington's to quarter in.â€
The Hessian mercenaries who marched with the British fumed over American resistance during the battle, and afterward went to work beating American prisoners and stealing their belongings. Of the 2,800 men captured by the British at Fort Washington, only 800 would survive. Washington openly wept for his men while watching the carnage from the opposite bank of the Hudson. Washington had no choice but to retreat, and the American public grew restless, calling his moves "pusillanimous and disgraceful†in the press.
Charles Lee was captured by the British in early December, and Washington faced an enrollment crisis. The one year enlistments for several companies began to expire, and the army was running out of men, money, material, and most importantly, hope. Lee's capture was regarded as a disaster at the time, but this event rid the army, at least temporarily, of a scurrilous mischief-maker and forced Washington to retreat across the Delaware River, a move that ultimately saved both the army and perhaps the cause.
Paine's Gut Check Gift Paine had marched with the army through these tense months. He had knowledge of the problems of command and the miseries of the common soldier, felt the hunger pains, the bite of the crisp fall weather, the weariness of the cause.
Independence was hanging by a thread. Washington thought he could lose his army either to battle, desertion, or both. The British assembled an impressive force across the Delaware, and Lord Charles Cornwallis had already made plans to be back in England by 1777. Impending doom seemed to be the order of the day. It was at this point that Paine presented his greatest gift to the American cause, perhaps even more pronounced than "Common Sense,†and it arrived just a few days before Christmas 1776.
Paine began writing what was later titled "The American Crisis†while trudging through the blood, mud, and disappointment that was the New York campaign of 1776. He had served as Gen. Nathanael Greene's aide-de-camp since September, and according to Paine, had been asked to shore up sagging morale with a spirited evaluation of the American cause. He wrote by firelight using a drumhead for a desk, and as one historian wrote, the "winter storms†and "the Delaware's waves…mingled with his ink; the half-naked soldiers in their troubled sleep dreaming of their distant homes, the skulking deserter creeping off in the dusk, the pallid face of the heavyhearted commander…†added depth, texture, and passion to his work.
He left the army at Trenton shortly before Washington crossed the Delaware and arrived in Philadelphia while the city was in a state of confusion and panic. Some leading members of the city sought protection from the British and renounced the patriot cause. Others sent their wives, children, and valuables to the country and hunkered down for what they believed was imminent invasion. Congress fled the city, worrying that their necks would be stretched by British nooses. Paine was shocked. He later wrote that, "The deplorable and melancholy condition the people were in, afraid to speak and almost to think, the public presses stopped, and nothing in circulation but fears and false hoods,†led him "in a passion of patriotism†to quickly publish his American "Crisis.â€
The first copies were printed on December 19, 1776 and arrived at Washington's camp within a day or two [the official publication is December 23, 1776]. Paine, a man who rejected Christianity and favored deism, had given the American soldier a perfect Christmas present. Huddled together in groups, the beleaguered patriots listened to the famous series of opening sentences:
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated.â€
These well-known and oft repeated lines are typically all that anyone remembers about the Crisis, but Paine used his pen as a wrecking ball against Tories, King George III, and those who had lost faith in the cause.
Hidden Divinity Paine admitted he harbored a secret in the essay by suggesting that Divine Providence was needed at such a time. He believed that "God Almighty†would not "give us up to the care of devils," nor would He leave Americans "unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent.†The American cause was a just one that deserved His protection.
At the same time, Paine condemned the traitorous Tories. "Every Tory is a coward,†he wrote, "for servile, slavish, self interested fear is the foundation of Toryism; and a man under such influence, though he may be cruel, never can be brave.â€
Paine declared that he could not betray his principles, nor should any American patriot. George III, he thundered, should fear the patriot:
"Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man. I conceive likewise a horrid idea in receiving mercy from a being, who at the last day shall be shrieking to the rocks and mountains to cover him, and fleeing with terror from the orphan, the widow, and the slain of America.â€
One historian wrote that his conclusion was "such a battle call as might almost have startled slain patriots from their new graves under the frozen clods.â€
Paine was unequivocal in his prediction that should the patriot cause falter, pestilence, rape, murder, and destruction would follow. "By perseverance and fortitude we have the prospect of a glorious issue; by cowardice and submission, the sad choice of a variety of evils—a ravaged country—a depopulated city —habitations without safety, and slavery without hope—our homes turned into barracks and bawdyhouses for Hessians, and a future race to provide for, whose fathers we shall doubt of. Look on this picture and weep over it! and if there yet remains one thoughtless wretch who believes it not, let him suffer it unlamented.â€
A Call Heeded The impact was immediate. Men who thought of leaving signed on for another year. Washington's ranks stabilized, and the zeal for victory returned. Even Paine's archenemy, James Cheetham, realized the value of his work. "The number was read in the camp, to every corporal's guard, and in the army and out of it had more than the intended effect. The convention of New York, reduced by dispersion, occasioned by alarm, to nine members, was rallied and reanimated. Militiamen who, already tired of the war, were straggling from the army, returned. Hope succeeded to despair, cheerfulness to gloom, and firmness to irresolution.â€
Whether "The American Crisis†gave Washington the needed morale boost to attack Trenton is unknown. He never mentioned it. But his men needed it, and Washington capitalized on the revitalized army. On Christmas Day, 1776, Washington led his men on a daring attack. They crossed the ice-choked Delaware during a blizzard in the middle of the night, marched in knee-deep snow to Trenton—many without shoes—and routed the slumbering Hessian mercenaries billeted there. They fought in desperation to save hearth and home; they fought like patriots. America had again awoken.
The patriot historian Mercy Otis Warren wrote in 1805 that, "Perhaps there are no people on earth, in whom a spirit of enthusiastic zeal is so readily enkindled, and burns so remarkably conspicuous, as among the Americans.†Paine inspired action twice as a pamphleteer, the first bringing "common sense†to the American mind, the second animating a sleeping giant.
Perhaps Americans today would be well to heed his warnings. The principles of '76 are not lost, and Paine's Christmas gift still rings true today. It is the legacy of the War for Independence. As he wrote that December, "Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to tax) but "to bind us in all cases whatsoever†and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God.†These words ring as true today as they did in 1776. The American Crisis has not waned. Perhaps we need another Thomas Paine.
ObamaCare's focus on cutting costs means that Americans will have more limited access to leading hospitals -- many of which offer cutting edge treatments or care that the sickest patients need.
Places like Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles or the Mayo Clinic (in Rochester, MN) are expensive. And under competitive pressure in the new ObamaCare world, insurance companies are in a bigger rush than ever to cut costs . . . so good-bye, premier hospitals.
But what Americans are coming to understand is that those hospitals aren't just mindless profit centers. They're expensive because they offer cutting edge treatments. Or they're expensive because they offer the kinds of specialized care that the very sickest patients need.
Many Americans who had plans they could afford -- and who had access under them to leading health care providers -- are now finding that, under ObamaCare, they're effectively being locked out of first-rate care. That is, unless they're willing to pay a whole lot more for it, according to one of ObamaCare's architects:
You know, there's a reason that President Obama waited to "introduce" ObamaCare until after the 2012 election.
Representative Tom Price of Georgia has come up with an alternative to Obamacare, and it would save the country nearly $2.34 trillion in 10 years. The legislation is called the Empowering Patients First Act, H.R. 2300.
The proposed legislation would "provide Americans with tax incentives for maintaining health insurance coverage, improve access to health savings accounts (HSAs), reform Medicare and Medicaid, and allow consumers to purchase plans across state lines. It would also guarantee coverage for roughly 1% of Americans with pre-existing conditions.â€
A former director of the CBO estimated that these reforms would reduce health insurance premiums across the board and reduce the budget by almost $2.34 trillion. It would help lead to smaller premium increases than what Obamacare provides. Additionally, the number of insured people would increase by roughly 29% in 2016.
Of course Obama has claimed that Republicans have not offered any ideas for other reforms to health care and cut costs. But obviously that is not true. This is a great alternative that would help insure almost as many people as Obamacare, but save much more money. Mr. President, here is the perfect alternative.
True to form, President Obama made the 72nd anniversary of Pearl Harbor all about himself with a publicity shot on the USS Arizona Memorial.
As Brietbart pointed out:
"The picture barely fits the name of the Arizona Memorial so it can frame Obama in the foreground.â€
Take a look at the photograph:
Obama declared December 7 "National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day" encouraging Americans to observe the day with solemnity and to fly the United States flag at half-staff:
"Today, with solemn pride and reverence, let us remember those who fought and died at Pearl Harbor, acknowledge everyone who carried their legacy forward, and reaffirm our commitment to upholding the ideals for which they served.â€
Despite memorializing the day, the first White House tweet December 7 made no mention of the 1941 attack:

Anti-apartheid activist and former South African president Nelson Mandela is hailed across the globe as a champion of peace and reconciliation. And while the man who went from prisoner to president certainly deserves the plaudits for his political and civil rights accomplishments, not all of his work in office was quite as noble.
LifeNews points out the unfortunate reality of where he stood on abortion, highlighting a brief history of Mandela's record on the issue provided by John Smeaton, director of British pro-life group SPUC.
Mr Mandela has been quoted as saying on abortion: "Women have the right to decide what they want to do with their bodies.†In 1996, Mandela signed into law the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Bill, which permits abortion on demand. SPUC's pro-life colleagues in South Africa tells us that the bill was introduced into the South African parliament by Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, Mr Mandela's health minister. In addition, the wording of the new South African constitution, signed by Mr Mandela in 1996, had made the legalisation of abortion on demand a mere formality. Mr Mandela's African National Congress (ANC) has a strong ideological committment to abortion, with the ANC Women's League strongly behind the legalisation of abortion on demand. The ANC has for decades been in a close political and electoral alliance with the South African Communist Party (SACP) ... which also has a strong ideological committment to abortion.

And in the wake of Mandela's death, NARAL was quick to highlight this "accomplishment†of his. Notice the irony in the quote they chose to feature in the first tweet.

Even though my rating is low the motel was exactly what I was looking for - a little place to hide away without anyone bothering us. This is one of the few places left that has smoking rooms. Love the single level and that can park for free right outside the door to the room. VIew was of a car dealership parking lot. Bedding smelled fresh and the pillows […] were decent! Now for the cons: room was SO dirty and SO grimey! It's like the floors get vacuumed and the bed gets made but thats it!! Bathroom was worse than was in most of my stays in Mexico. Sink and counter were cracked, missing the caulking that's supposed to join them together. Multiple burnt out lightbulbs, smudges all over the walls, cracked toilet that does not flush well, rusty/dirty shower - the tiles I'm 100% sure have never been wiped/cleaned and rough towels. Wore flip flops because the carpet always felt "wet". The TV requires two remotes to work properly, went whole first day without being able to change channel away from YTV. There was no fitted sheet on the bed - just a flat sheet with a (wool?) sheet underneath so had to re-make the bed a few times ourselves. Mattress looked not too bad though! Pros: Close to a lot! Tims, Montanas, Applebees, etc - lots of food/shopping, lots of that withing close walking distance. Easy to get there. Quiet, as we were in a room towards the back end of the hotel.

Since it's a Motel, my expectation where not too high but… First of all, I had to wait for 8 minutes at the door for the sleeping attendant to unlock the door and provide me with the key. Once in the room there was some hair on the some furniture, the air conditioning was noisy […] and defective. But the worst of all, the bathroom… The sink's countertop had been cut with what looked like a Skill saw to be able to fit the toilet next to it (watch yourself for the splitter on your shoulders). The dripping water in the "rust-stained" bath was full of hair (pubic hair included). Honestly the only clean part of the room was the beds sheets… Bad, bad, bad experience… Never, ever again… קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Can't Beat the Price!"
Despite previous negative reviews I was very impressed! It is after all a 2 Star rated hotel, but, I found it very clean and very comfortable. Stayed in Belleville for 5 nights and found it to be incredibly affordable as well. The staff on the front desk were amiable and helpful. The housekeeping staff were very helpful and very thorough. The Restaurant […] off the lobby was very good. It served amazing breakfasts (managed to sample four days worth) and the lunch menu looked full and tasty. The wait staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient at their jobs. Everyone working on site seemy.ed informed about the events going on in the city. I would suggest if you want inexpensive and you recognise effective and efficient staff and can handle the bare essentials (i.e. no pool, no bar, no entertainment room etc.) this is the place for you! קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
"motel 5 belleville"
If you need a simple place to crash with no frills it's ok. For the price I paid it was to much. I've had better. There was no breakfast included. I've stayed in other places for the same price with breakfast. I would try and get someplace else before I went here again. Everything else was sold out so I didn't have options.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

"Basic rooms in Belleville"
We were on a long weekend trip to the quinte and Sandbanks areas. This motel is close to the HWY 401, near a number of restaurants, and very convenient to stay in. The rooms were reasonably large, clean, and comfortable. This is basic accomodation for people just looking for a place to sleep and shower in.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

"The room stunk"
The room smelt like a bunch of dirty socks ..PEE UUUUחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
This motel is a complete dump! So outdated and filthy. Bathroom fixtures falling apart, lights that didnt work, holes in walls, ceiling tiles with open spots, rust on the shower rod, shower pull loose and almost falling out of the wall, toilet seat old, scratched and peeling. Heat in my room did not work at all, stone cold and it was a cold february […] night during my stay! Baseboard heater in bathroom was just sitting there, non-functional. There was only about maybe a dozen rooms being used that date but they bunched us all together instead of spreading us out a bit and some partiers in one or two of the rooms kept everyone else awake with their noise all night. Staff was rude and inconsiderate. When i tried to tell the lady at desk about my heat not working she basically called me a liar, didn't try to do anything about it and refused to give any money back to any of us who complained about having no heat/and or the noise problem with some of their room clients. Absolutely appalling way to conduct business. I will never stay there again and will be warning everyone i know to stay away from MOTEL HELL!! קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

HGTV.com HGTV Message Boards HGTV Feedback Center Talk to HGTV Community Gal Abby Rose Parade New Years Day |
Go | New | Find | Notify | Tools | Reply |
Thank You so much for your coverage of the parade and Lovely in HD and NO friggin commercials !!! you guys rock, even your hosts were tolerable, keep up the good work, this again, was greatly appreciated. | |||
I agree that commercial free coverage is great. But I personally am finding some of the commentary "jokes" not just distracting, but at times offense. | ||||
I too think that the announcers are beyond tolerable, they are horrible. | ||||
This is the parade I look forward to all year long. And in the past HGTV has had fabulous coverage, not to mention how wonderful it is to have it commercial free. But this year, this year it is infuriating! The most exciting thing for the hosts was the B2 Bomber. The drivel has so little actual information. The commentary is empty. The jokes aren't funny. And there seems to fundamentally be a lack of background knowledge that would actually spice things up. Lowest common denominator. Pitifully disappointing! | ||||
I'm sorry, but these are the worst group of hosts EVER. With perhaps the exception of Robb Weller, who I know has done this before, they are clueless about the most generic topics. If I were an executive at HGTV, I would be embarrassed. Please bring back the fellow who had the long running gardening show (I think his last name was James). He has more class in his little finger than those two will have all year long. | ||||
In years past, I have always watched the HGTV Rose Parade coverage. But the last three years have been bigger and bigger disappointments. You brought in a new commentator this year, who has no experience with a live show, who got LOST IN HIS NOTES, and let the public know about it. You skipped floats last year, and your cameras can't show the front of the float if they pass by your booth; such a huge disappointment. Not only do you advertise in the corners of the screen, you advertise in your printed commentary. That is NOT ADVERTISEMENT FREE. The next commentator to say that the float has all organic material needs to be shot- this is the rose parade- it should ALWAYS have organic material. Just because the years have gone by does not mean you can lose the core of the show- the floats. It isn't about the interviews crammed into the sides, it isn't about the singing latest Disney star, or the B-52; it is about the work on the floats. Can you not respect art? Sometimes, silence is better than bs thrown in the sides. I'm sorry, but if it doesn't change next year, I'm not even going to watch the Rose Parade. It's not worth it, advertisement free and all. | ||||
Thank you for wonderful coverage of the Rose Parade. It had a wonderful director- the pictures and talk were nicely coordinated with the staging ground, floats, and camera work. The float information was mixed with ad-lib banter in good timing, and allowed us to see the float detail while hearing the band music. The team worked well together. We'll continue to watch next year. Kudos for a difficult job well done. | ||||
I agree with khush. With the exception of Rob Weller, the commentators were horrible. I don't care where the commentator lives or where he got married. I want to hear about the details of the floats and parade participants. Additionally, the new commentators were talking over each other - I almost turned the sound off! I chose HGTV for the focus on the floats and the ad commercial free coverage. I know you will start planning for next year's coverage tomorrow. PLEASE reconsider your commentator selections. Thank you. | ||||
I agree! I can no longer enjoy watching this program. So much is missed with jabber from the other hosts. Rob Weller is great as usual. The host down in the parade is distracting and annoying. I hoped this year would be different or like years past. No more HGTV Rose Parade for me! Too bad, I used to look forward to this every year! I hope some execs read these messages! | ||||
Remember when HGTV had great coverage of the Rose Parade because the anchors actually knew something - anything - about roses, flowers, and plants. Robb Weller has been consistently good but where are the likes of Paul James, Rebecca Kolls, Jamie Durie? Now HGTV uses the Parade as a vehicle for promoting non-gardening talent like Chuck Nice who is a comedian by trade and can only read his note cards or make dumb jokes. The single positive feedback I have is it is nice HGTV still broadcasts commercial-free. But overall the coverage quality has gone way down. My observation is HGTV has moved far far away from the "gardening" aspect and towards the home-remodeling-makeover side of things. Dear HGTV, there are still actual gardeners out there who want programming! At a minimum your Rose Parade coverage should be anchored by people who are knowledgeable about plants...which is the entire point of the Parade, by the way. | ||||
I agree Reithya. I was disappointed greatly this year in the coverage of the parade. I do appreciate not cutting to a commercial. But I would like inform announcers. The horse fetlock comment was ignorant. I love the floats but the camera angles are not good. The float detail is not shown well at all. I noticed the decline, like you, about 3 years ago. I would like to see less marching bands with more of the horses and floats. What was up with the wedding. A wedding ceramony does NOT belong in a parade. I bet a lot of money was passed to have that happen. I know the wedding was not under your control HGTV was just covering the parade. I hope things improve for next year or I will find another channel with better coverage-commercials or not. | ||||
PLease replay the 124 Rose Parade - we would love to see it again. Any chance you could announce if you are replaying it on Twitter or Facebook? The parents of the marching band kids would love to see it again... Thanks | ||||
Liked the commercial free coverage, wish I could said the same for the hosts. Narration was boring!!!! Even the dog went back to sleep under the table and my husband was snoring. How in the world some one during a world wide telivesed event can't tell the difference between a city on Colorado and a state and city of a different name in a different country. Maybe I was also falling sleep and misheard it. | ||||
Personally I found the HGTV coverage refreshing. The commentators humanized the parade and made me laugh. I love seeing the parade but get bored to tears hearing nothing but how many and what kinds of flowers it took to make the float. I love that it was commercial free. The only thing I wish is that (1) there were more close up shots versus blimp shots; and (2) that the parade could be repeated on HGTV. Thanks HGTV for stepping out of the BORING commentator routine and adding the human element and some humor while providing excellent coverage of the parade. | ||||
Reithya, I think you need to treat yourself to a trip to Pasadena to see the Rose Parade in person. You cannot imagine the feeling one gets as members of the military appear and the military aircraft flies over - it is totally awesome. A good reminder that we have great men and women fighting for our freedoms - including having a parade to celebrate life and art and talent. Maybe you did not like the Disney tunes, but those kids worked hard to earn their way so they could be in the parade - and they played very well. The floats are amazing and certainly the mainstay of the parade but not the only thing the parade is about. Since you respect art, a trip to the parade should be in your future. You can see and smell the flowers and afterwards view the floats up close.

Found a Bottle ... Seeking Information
I moved into a house and found a bottle in a cardboard sleeve that has the words "Container Made in United Kingdom" impressed into it. The home belonged to a WWII Vet so I am thinking it is a vet "bring-back". Label says "By appointment of His Majesty The King". I don't know if they changed the label when Queen Elizabeth's reign began or not.
Label on bottle has No. AH 540476. Seal and Ribbon are still intact. I am eager to find any information about this bottle: Where was it bottled ? When ? Where was it **** ? When was it **** ? What might it be worth today ? I will attempt to attach a link from my Photobucket of the bottle, Hope it works. Any information would be greatly appreciated. |
White Horse No. AH 540476
We will have your bottle of White Horse blended scotch dated for you! Some background information on White Horse: The earliest reference to a launch date for this brand was in 1890. White Horse is a blend of 40 whiskies (malt & grain) which come from across the Lowlands, Highlands and Islay. Lagavulin is the single malt which gives it its distinctive taste. Caol Ila is another. Interesting fact - After the death of the Sir Peter Mackie (founder & blender aka "Restless Pete") in 1924, ****s of White Horse doubled after it became the first whisky to dispense with corks and use a screw cap.
White Horse is available in over 200 countries.

Thanks for your reply. I checked out the White Horse website and it was some really interesting reading. I am grateful for any efforts you make getting me any information.
Sorry the pictures are out of focus but that is the best I can get with the POC camera I have. |

Kestrel - your bottle of White Horse has been dated from the early 1950s.

The Santa Rosa County Health Department has received confirmation of the county's first case of West Nile Virus.
The possibility that other individuals may become infected with the virus is extremely high. Santa Rosa Mosquito Control is continuing to spray and the health department encourages the public to continue to take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.
"As our neighboring counties began to see confirmed cases, we fully expected that we would begin to see them as well," said Sandra Park-O'Hara, A.R.N.P., administrator of the Santa Rosa County Health Department. "People need to be aware that the virus is present in our area, and continue to take precautions."

Hey there, welcome to Katyperryforum.com!If you like us, please consider donating so we can keep the Katycat love alive.
Some strong responses to what I said about the fear of Katy's success. Sorry guys, I'm sticking to my guns with this one. If Katy's record sales/success do not have one ounce of importance (according to some, but not all of you), then why the campaigns to get TOTGA to number one? Why the dismay and other artist slagging when they win the award and Katy doesn't?Anyone like No Doubt? Their album/era Push and Shove has effectively flopped. They should be touring with this album right now but instead they are stuck in a studio trying to magic up some new material which will work next time. Would I like the same thing to happen to Katy? Of course not!
Not meeting her I legit have nightmares about this
The feels not being as good as the first CDT I went to - the first time I saw her live. Legit the best night of my life.

Legit the best night of my life. oh yeah, if the CDT was the first time you saw her and you had been waiting for years to see her, you probably won't have that 'IS THIS REAL LIFE??' feeling as strongly as last tour cause it's not the first time.

Cash for Clunkers likely extended despite controversy
The Senate is expected to vote on a bill on Thursday to extend the Cash for Clunkers car trade-in program, but experts contend there are more cost-effective ways to get environmental benefits.
The government-funded program, where people can get up to $4,500 for trading in a car for a new, more fuel-efficient model, has been so popular that it may run out of funding by the end of the week. The House passed a bill to extend the program with an additional $2 billion which, if the Senate passes its version, would give consumers until Labor Day to trade … Read more
