Decision on rejected edits should be displayed as a notification to the editor
@jmort, If I had got the notifications, I would not have been blocked. Having the notice above the editor is probably a better idea, but as long as the editor finds out and does not get blocked, it doesn't matter a great deal. (I have also upvoted both those answers.) |

Changing the edit limit for tag wikis
Thanks for that (I also answered that question as it happens!) The idea of having it above the edit box is a great one! I had not thought of it, but it is probably the best solution really. |

Totally. I recently got blocked when I didn't know what I was doing wrong, and all that block has done is mean that some of my knowledge and willingness-to-help is not transferred to the site. |

Tag editing limits - Give us a chance
@Manish (Edit ban) When a site is in an early beta, if you can't think of anything to ask or answer, editing is the only way to earn reputation (I know everybody says "reputation doesn't matter", but get real, when you don't have much it matters a hell of a lot). |

If there is no full tag wiki, can't we use the excerpt?
I did mean what animuson said, and I see what you mean about the empty hole, I guess this really is what made me edit it. |

If the new question is so different the old answer is no longer relevent, the question is probably quite different, so I would ask the new question separately straight away. |

Let's Buy Happiness - Shields - Eliza and the Bear - Child - Blank Maps play The Cluny, 36 Lime Street, Ouseburn Valley, Newcastle from 7.00pm as part of Evolution Emerging.
Let's Buy Happiness 10.30+
Having formed over a mutual love of North American alternative rock, the 5-piece outfit consisting of Sarah Hall (vocals), James Hall (guitar/keys), Graeme Martin (guitars), Mark Brown (bass) and James King (drums); began playing local shows in their hometown (Newcastle).However it wasn't long before their melodic, melancholy songs took them to greater heights. The self-released 'No Hot Ashes EP' garnered much local and national attention and with their self-released singles Six Wolves, Fast Fast and Dirty Lakes, the band have twice been invited to Maida Vale Studios in London for both BBC Radio 6 and Radio 1. Dirty Lakes was also included on Spotify's "Songs of 2011" list, showcasing all the best music during that term.Within a year of playing their debut show in a small Newcastle pub, the band were invited by Michael Eavis to perform at Glastonbury 2010 on the John Peel stage alongside Foals, Florence and the Machine, Mumford and Sons and The XX.
Shields 9.45 – 10.15pm
In a town where music heritage is long and illustrious stretching back over several decades, Luke Elgie, Rich Sutton & Tom Larthe met amongst the chosen few who gathered to study 'Popular & Contemporary Music' and hone their understanding of their chosen instruments. Their immediate conversations discussing shared musical luminaries, made them aware of their clear desire to be in a band and to create innovative beat-driven pop music, that is both interesting and influential, as far removed from the soulless and generic music that the world finds itself incessantly subjected to today. SHIELDS remain unique and once they are in your head, they are yours to fall for.
Eliza and the Bear 9.00-9.30pm
'Upon The North' will be, to many people, an appropriate introduction to Eliza and the Bear. It encapsulates the joyous instrumentation and powerful vocal melodies that propel this band, allowing them to be as exciting on record as they are live. Dominated by chants of the refrain "I spent summers awake, hiding in rivers and lakes", it's a nostalgia trip back to teenage dreams. "A band who will make you party come what may. 'Upon the North' is equally exultant and jubilant." The Guardian New Band of the Day
Child 8:15 – 8:45pm
Child formed in late 2012 consisting of lifelong friends; Daniel Mason (vocals, keys), Martin Dagg (guitar), Jonathan Gray (guitar), Jon Sandwith (bass) and David Burlace (drums). Housing themselves in a converted-barn in Sunderland, the Alternative/Indie Rock quintet spent the Summer and Autumn period writing and re-developing their style, alongside producer Mick Ross. The band settled on the name Child, due to the re-birth in sound from the roots of their former group, We Beat The System. Their debut single is set for release in Spring 2013 to coincide with dates across the UK.
Blank Maps 7.30-8.00pm
The band formed in 2010 following a degree course performance and a decision to become 'a real band'. Though Blank Maps were conceived and hatched in Newcastle, its members hail from all corners of the UK; Newcastle, Sunderland, York and Oxford. After two years of gigging, writing and polishing their chillingly textured soundscapes, what has emerged with 'Blank Maps' has been likened to acts such as The XX, Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Friendly Fires and Foals. Armed with lofty effect-laden guitars, sophisticated technical riffs and Thom Piddock's spine-tingling falsetto, Blank Maps have already enjoyed airplay on 6Music, and being play listed on Amazing Radio, as well as being featured on Tom Robinson's podcast.

Sweet home Alabama
Last year, Alabama defeated Texas for the national championship of college football, earned a 14-0 record, and even had its first Heisman Trophy winner, running back Mark Ingram. This year, Alabama started the season rated No. 1 in all major polls and is still unbeaten.
If you go ...
Tuscaloosa is lovely even when the Crimson Tide isn't rolling. For the best in down-home cooking, try Waysider's biscuits and grits, or sample the ribs at Dreamland. Mingle with other 'Bama fans at Temerson Square or on The Strip, where you can grab a brew at popular bars such as the Houndstooth (once named by Sports Illustrated as America's No. 1 College Sports Bar) or The Red Shed.
Any true football fan will want to visit the Paul W. "Bear" Bryant Museum, where UA football history and the career of the revered coach, who played a fascinating but little-known role in the integration of Alabama football, are chronicled. Don't miss the Waterford Crystal houndstooth fedora, a "tip of the hat" to Bryant's famous headgear. For a more traditional museum experience, the Westervelt-Warner Museum features an extensive assemblage of American art, and the monthly "Art and Soul" event exhibits local artists' work.
Fans of camping, RV-ing, fishing and other water sports will love nearby Lake Lurleen and Lake Tuscaloosa for outdoor getaways, and golf fans can try the links at Ol' Colony Golf Complex. The University of Alabama Arboretum is a beautiful, free, 60-acre world of native plants and trees, orchids and wildflowers.
Nearby Birmingham is a critical part of Alabama's musical and civil rights history. Or head a little farther east for a hair-raising ride on NASCAR's famous Talladega Superspeedway and a tour of the International Motorsports Hall of Fame.

Below is some actual feedback taken from our customer survey and from various letters we've received. We deeply appreciate this feedback and use it to continuously improve our services for you. For additional feedback, or to write your own review, please visit us on Yelp.
What makes you unique is your quaility and attention to detail. I drive all the way from Sacramento to get my car detailed from AJ Auto Detailing. Some call me crazy for doing that, but I like to call myself satisfied. Now, if you only had an AJ's up here so I wouldn't have to scrape off all the bugs from the drive home.
-Douglas Nishinaka
Hand wash and dry without running through the machine. Attention to details and clean all areas and gaps. All staff takes time to ensure the car is well taken care of without rushing through the cleaning process due to volume.
-Aaron Kuan
Customer service is always very good and friendly. I come to you because of the "hand wash".
-Ron Phalen
I was thrilled when I got my car back. It was like brand new. I have a dog that rides with me in the passenger seat a lot and my car really needed the detailing. I have recommended you to all my friends. You do fantastic work. You've been doing both my cars for over two years and I'll keep coming back.
-William Messerly
One of the best detailers around. Great price, with exceptional attention to detail. Always satisifed with the work done.
-Keith Parcesepe - Campbell
I appreciate the fact that AJ's treats my vehicles as if they were their's and works on them until they are perfect.
-Christine Tower
Have always been treated very nicely from all the staff. They have even taken my pretty close to closing time and my car has looked great every time.
-Paul Lagos
The quality of the wash and the amount of time you spend making my car look good is much better than a bargain car wash.
-Douglas Marchell - San Jose
You are the only place other then myself that washes my car.
-Ron Launer
Friendly service and my car always looks GREAT!
-Vicki Clark
An excellent job. You care about the type of work you do.
-Raymond Coronado
You actually treat the car like it was your own. I swear it looks better then when I bought it after I take it there.
-Matt Bernwanger
Your staff truly cleans everything and handles my car as if it were their own. My car truly gets babied when it comes here. I always drive away a happy and satisfied customer.
-Lori Carlson
The difference is in the details...
-Jarreth Solomon - Mountain View
I love getting my cars detailed at AJs! You guys are absolutely the best in town. When I return to pick up my car, I always end up with a big smile on my face, seeing my car so clean and shiny! I have recommended you to all my friends and colleagues. Keep up the great work.
-Vivek Singh
Professional staff with high attention to detail and obvious priority given to customer service. I won't take my cars anywhere else and I send everyone I know to AJ's.
-Tim O'Neill
Professional from the time you pull your car on to the lot to the time you pull your car off the lot. Albert is a true professional in his business and his staff is trained very well. Check it out for yourself!
-Garrett Bryan
You have an air-conditioned waiting room that has DirecTV and free WiFi. Location is good, right next to a shopping plaza with lots of food.
-Dean Shintaku
Dear AJ's Staff:
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful job your team did on my car. My car has never looked better. It looks brand new thanks to the efforts of your many team members. Before I brought in my car, water spots had settled into the finish. When I picked up my car I could hardly recognize it. You do excellent work and I wanted you to know that I appreciate it.
- Julianne Savage
I dropped off my Benz on Saturday for "The Works," and ozonation. I have never seen the vehicle this clean, and wanted to send my extreme gratitude for the work that your crew performed. Your shop does excellent work, and you have added another customer to your repetoire. Thanks again. Cheers!
Levi Finch
We moved to the Bay Area in 1995 and shortly after arriving, were introduced to AJ Auto Detailing. For 6 years the only company we would allow to clean our cars was AJ Auto Detailing. No one does detailing like Albert and his team. In July of 2002 we moved to Roseburg, Oregon which is a fantastic town, but there is no auto detailers with the expertise and quality that you get from AJ Auto Detailing. So once a year I drive 467 miles back to San Jose to have Albert and his team at AJ Auto Detailing clean our cars. It may sound extreme to drive that distance to have your car detailed, but give Albert and his team one opportunity to detail your car and you will be hooked. No One Does Detailing Like AJ Auto Detailing. The Best In The Nation!
Timothy S. McFadden - Roseburg, Oregon
I have been coming to AJ's since 1995 and have always been coming completely satisfied with the thorough job done to clean my car. I travel daily with my 2 golden retrievers (and sometimes 4 of them) and my car can get filthy with ground in dirt, fur, dog food and spilled water. AJs always takes care of every little detail and I never have to ask for a touch up or anything when my car is returned to me. I cannot say that about any other facility I have been to. AJ's is the best at what they do and they treat everyone wonderfully. I will always be coming back to AJs!!!!
- Jill Bertoldo - Morgan Hill
I brought my car in to have a mini detail, I am writing to say, you did an excellent job. Very well serviced. My car looks like new. My daughter has been your customer for many years, and has always been very satisfied. I was waited on very promptly and my car was done in 1 hour as stated. Thank you!
- Gina Gerarge - San Jose, CA
AJ Auto Detailing was recommended by Delongh's Jaguar. I have an Audi and had the engine cleaned top and bottom. Excellent job, courteous employees and a waiting room with cable TV! Thank you!
- Liliane Thibodeau, Thibodeau Properties - Campbell, CA
I have had my vehicles detailed at AJ's for over 14 years. Most impressive is their "dedication to details". Each vehicle is handled meticulously. There are no short cuts.
The owners closely oversee all the details. The vehicle is inspected before returning it to the owner. I have been extremely impressed and pleased with the service to my vehicle. I have been equally pleased with the high level of service from the staff. There is no other auto detailing shop that reflects the quality in the Bay Area.
- Vic Karaziva - San Jose, CA
I just wanted to write you a quick note to say THANKS for such a nice job you and your staff did on the cleaning of my 4-Runner. It looked great and I appreciate the nice work, friendliness, and overall quality service! It's unfortunate that it rained today and messed up the outer wash, but it sure was a better improvement over how it looked before. My friend Rick and Lori may be bringing in their cars soon as well. Keep up the great work and again - Thanks! You guys do nice work -- an all around pat on the back for all! Thanks!
- Brad, Toyota 4-Runner - San Jose, CA
I just wanted to thank you for the great job you did on the vehicles we sent for detailing. Not only were the customers pleased with the work that was done, but also each of them called to compliment us on our choice of detailers because of the professional manner in which they were treated. I look forward to doing business with you in the future. Thanks again.
- Mike Bunnell, Reed & Graham, Inc. - San Jose, CA.

Update from My MomSeptember 19th 2011 8:10 pm[ Leave A Comment | 28 people already have ]
Hello friends. Since Sammy is not feeling well again, and I mentioned to a few people that I was taking him back to the vet yesterday, I thought I'd do an update here. GratitudeSeptember 16th 2011 5:18 pm[ Leave A Comment | 18 people already have ]
Mom and I want to thank everyfur for the sweet and supportive comments, pawmails, and rosettes for my recent illness. We are so fortunate to have such pawsome furiends here in Catsterland who love and support one another. Bad Week:(September 14th 2011 7:30 pm[ Leave A Comment | 20 people already have ]
I had to make an unexpected trip to the kitty E.R. Monday night. Mom had just gotten home and was fixing dinner when she noticed a small puddle of rust colored fluid on the kitchen floor. She didn't know what to make of it at first when she wiped it up, but later noticed the same thing on one of the bathroom floors. Then she saw a small drop of blood in one of our kitty beds. Her Mommy radar went up immediately, and she starting following each of us around the house to see how we were acting. She saw me squatting and straining to pee in different spots around the house so she knew immediately something was wrong with me. Ruh Roh!September 10th 2011 3:15 pm[ Leave A Comment | 7 people already have ]
Mom has been shopping on the Internet again. She seems to be looking for something specific for us cats. Most of the time it's a good thing when she shops for us. Sometimes she buys us new cat furniture, new toys, or yummy treats. Yankee Doodle Catnip!July 1st 2011 12:19 pm[ Leave A Comment | 5 people already have ]
Oh boy, a yummy smelling package arrived in the mail this week from Happy River Dances Catnip Company. That can only mean one thing…pawsome catnip toys! Hooray! Our pal River is the CEO of his own company! The Healing BlanketMay 29th 2011 8:24 am[ Leave A Comment | 17 people already have ]
Mommy has been feeling really pawful this weekend. She came home Thursday night from a business trip with a sore throat and woke up Friday morning with a terrible cold. She's been coughing, sneezing, and sniffling all weekend and said she must have caught a "bad bug" from someone she sat next to during her meetings. I didn't think bugs were supposed to be bad, I kind of like them. I like to chase 'em and eat 'em sometimes in the garden. An Eggciting WeekApril 23rd 2011 6:55 am[ Leave A Comment | 7 people already have ]
This week started off with an eggciting trip to New Zealand with the Kewlest Catster Kitties Group. We hunted for eggs all over New Zealand – what a beautiful country! We had a lot of fun searching for eggs with our KCK furiends. Cat Scratch FeverApril 11th 2011 6:25 pm[ Leave A Comment | 23 people already have ]
I have discovered a fun new way to wake my Mommy up in the morning. For some unknown reason I've been jumping up on the cat perch next to Mom's side of the bed every morning around 4 a.m. I stretch my front paws as high up on the window as I can reach, and then I scratch, scratch, scratch vigorously against the glass. It makes a terrible sound and wakes Mom up instantly – MOL! She chases me away when I do it, but I usually come back a few minutes later and scratch-scratch-scratch again. One of Those NightsMarch 25th 2011 5:56 pm[ Leave A Comment | 20 people already have ]
Most of the time we are very good kitties. We sleep most nights although we do wake Mom up early and expect to be fed our breakfast between 5-6 a.m. That part is okay, Mom expects it and she's gotten used to it. We even have occasional night zoomies, but Mom is okay with that, too. She has gotten used to it. I've Been Furminated!March 13th 2011 3:35 pm[ Leave A Comment | 11 people already have ]
Mom has a torture tool called The Furminator. I hate that darn thing. She bought it a couple of years ago for Luke and Tully and they never liked it either. Tully tries to bite it if Mom touches him with it. She later switched to the Zoom Groom which is a gentler and more tolerable grooming tool for us, but she still has that dang Furminator that she takes out every now and then. |

Split Views using Nooku Framework
28 December 2010 by StianA month ago Martin asked a very interesting question on Twitter.
Possible to load a detail view & it's related list view besides each other in the tab of a third view with the "H" of HMVC?
Short answer, yes offcourse ! Luckily our blog doesn't have a 140 char limit so I can also show you how. In this tutorial I will explain:
- How to create a Ajaxed Split View.
- How to render that Split View from a module.
We will use the overlays we learned about in my previous blog post, and apply this to create the Split View.

Dealing with sugar addiction
Shalini writes:
My problem: I am completely and totally addicted to sugar, and I don't know how to kick the habit. When I get stressed or overwhelmed, I eat some ice cream or cookies. If I can't find anything else, I eat my kids' candy–shameful. I know the answer is to not eat any at all, but getting to that spot is so, so hard. I feel so sick afterwards, sometimes I even am sick to my stomach, but I do it because it's a temporary relief from my nerves. I've actually even mentioned it in therapy, but because I'm thin and exercise regularly, no one has ever really considered it a "problem" (don't get me started on how ridiculous that is). It's also one of those things not a lot of people understand, especially because I'm thinner. People push the cupcakes and muffins toward me at work, and when I say no, people don't take me seriously. "You can take it! Pack on a few pounds," etc etc. I'd really like to find another outlet for my stress (running and biking are great, but not possible all the time, like when I'm home with my 2 year old or when I'm teaching a class), so that when I feel overwhelmed I don't instantly look for the first sugary substance to stuff in my mouth. And, more importantly: can i get rid of my kids' candy? would that be depriving them of something other kids have just because their mom can't handle it? If it's there, it will always be a temptation, but I feel like a bad mom if I don't let them have that stuff, especially because we don't eat meat and I make them eat a lot of fruits and veggies–I feel like it's their just reward.
I feel like every reader challenge speaks to me personally, but this one? Yeah, this one I really, REALLY get.
After I quit drinking, I traded in a serious problem with booze for an ongoing issue with sugary foods. Good trade overall, don't get me wrong, but I really have to watch my sugar intake these days. Too many simple carbohydrates wreak all kinds of havoc in my body, and the more I eat the worse my cravings get. I totally understand using sugar as a stress outlet, because I have been there more times than I can count.
It's a bad cycle, at least for me. I'm sure there are some people who can eat lots of sugary foods and be totally fine, but I get moody, lethargic, depressed, bingey, and generally more and more reliant on the exact food that's causing me harm.
Here's what has helped me:
• Exercise. It's hard to make the time. It's important to make the time. Exercise will help so, so much with this issue. I promise this.
• Potatoes Not Prozac. I didn't follow the guidelines in this book, but I found it very helpful to read about a theory as to WHY I'm so sugar sensitive. This book provides a pretty detailed plan for weaning yourself off sugar, and I recommend at least checking it out.
• Get rid of it. On my latest climb back up the healthy-food wagon, I cleaned out all the processed, sugary junk in my kitchen. I'm not a person who can have one cookie, therefore, there are NO cookies in my house. I find that the first couple days are the hardest, and once your system is running on good, healthy foods . . . it's just a whole new world. A much, much better world.
• No kid stuff I personally crave. To that end, it's your house and you make the rules. Your kids are not going to be deprived if they don't get candy every day. You know this, right? Ditch the guilt on that subject altogether. My kids eat a fair amount of kid-crap that the Whole Foods mom crowd would probably sneer at, but when it comes to sweet stuff I mostly pick out things I won't be tempted to eat. Animal crackers, chocolate Goldfish, kid Clif bars . . . things they like, but won't be calling me from the cupboard every single hour.
And one more gentle thought on that subject: candy doesn't have to be a just reward. I love making my kids happy, and they love special treats, so I absolutely know where you're coming from on this. But we can help our kids learn better eating habits right now, to help them avoid some of the problems with foods we've experienced. I'm not saying NO CANDY EVER—this certainly isn't true in my house—but it doesn't have to be a reward for eating a healthy dinner, right? If you're living a life where sweet treats are occasional, rather than continual, this is not "not handling it". You are living a healthy lifestyle and passing along a great example to your kids.
Readers, have you dealt with a sugar addiction? What sort of advice do you have for Shalini on breaking this habit?

ive jus got the email f*ckin hate tesco we are unable to fulfil my order wankers
Well well, who'd have thunk it ......... a seller of groceries, invited people to buy a videogame, £20 below what others were selling it for, took more orders than they could fulfil and monumentally screwed up by not contacting affected "customers" until the release date.Quite frankly im shocked, except of course, that I am not in the slightest bit surprised.
Amazons price that basically killed everyone (including supermarkets) have plenty of disgruntled customers through non delivery and just about every other seller of the standard edition has a percentage of orders, as yet undelivered due to Rockstars "request" that nobody despatch until 16th September.
Yeah well done everyone.Penalise some of your most ardent and "fever pitch" customers by not getting them the game by the release date.
Next stop COD Ghosts for much much more, of the same.

After all, your private key is yours, and it's private. You request it to be generated, and then you don't need to touch it, it's already in your store - somewhere.
But every now and again, there's a reason to do so - the classic example being when you want to run a service under its own account (because you don't want to use "SYSTEM", or worse, the user account of a real person). When you need to do this - whether it's an AD-AM instance, or an FTP server that works over SSL / TLS - you will need to import the key into the machine store, and then make it readable by the service account.
Previously, I would have recommended using the WinHttpCertCfg tool from Microsoft's download site - despite its rather particular sounding name, the basic point of this tool is to (import and) assign access rights to a certificate for a particular user. Exactly what you need to do.
Lately, though, I've come across another tool that has a big advantage over WinHttpCertCfg. You see, as a developer, when I see a tool that does something I can't figure out for myself, I ask "how did they do that?" Whenever I see a KB article that says "Application A can't do this, but Application B can", I ask "and how does it do that? How can I do that?"
WinHttpCertCfg is like magic powder - you sprinkle it on, and it does what it's supposed to do. But you're none the wiser as to what it's doing. Wouldn't it be better if there was a tool with source code?
Now, there is.
It's a very tiny part of the Windows Communications Framework and Windows CardSpace Samples download, and it's called FindPrivateKey. It's a simple executable, based on a simple C# source, with something approaching five lines of actual heavy lifting. Reading the C# source will tell even a relatively average programmer what's going on here, and could come in handy with any future projects where you may need to trace your private keys.
Uh... except when it comes to Vista, because the keys have moved. Ah, but you're all smart little security geeks, and know that in Vista, you can assign ACLs directly from the Certificate Manager:
You did already know that, didn't you? Honestly, that's such a cool feature, it makes me want Vista at my work place NOW.
PingBack from http://winblogs.security-feed.com/2007/02/22/finding-your-private-keys/
But, this is useless during an installation, when you need a command-line program to do it.
Weird cause when I bring up all tasks I only get open and export as options. Wonder what I've done wrong

Iremember you in my livingroom at 82 High St, visiting my daughter Sissy when you were at Exeter. It is a good feeling to be able to say,I knew him when. Let us not forget to remember Livingston and his family were Calvinist, Evangelical Christian fundamentalists: "BUT in what sense my lord, did those adventurers abandon their native religion? If your lordship means by their native religion, the doctrines of christianity as contained in the thirty-nine articles of your church;. they were so far from abandoning it, that it were to be wished it to be inviolably preserved by those they left behind. These were the very doctrines which they, in their time, universally believed, constantly taught, and warmly inculcated. These are the doctrines which their posterity, to this day, believe, teach, and inculcate. Nay, they believe, teach and inculcate them, in the same scriptural and unadulterated sense, in which they were believed, taught, and inculcated at the time of the reformation. They believe, teach, and inculcate them, without those sophisticating glories, by which they have since, in the mother-country, been wrested to favor the heresy of Arminius." --A Letter to the Right Reverend Father in God, John, Lord Bishop of Landaff; occasioned by some passages in His Lordship's sermon, on the 20th of February, 1767, in which the American colonies are loaded with great and undeserved reproach. / By William Livingston. New-York: Printed for the author; and to be sold by Garrat Noel, near the coffee-house, MDCCLXVIII. 1768 James Atkinson September 09, 2012 at 7:26 PM This is a marvelous article of a view not often encountered in current media. Great! Reflective of the old weekly Carlsbad Journal of the 1930's Doc Halister September 05, 2012 at 6:34 PM Interesting--I appreciated this. One sees some relevance to current disputes over Academic Freedom; the frequent recourse made to Summary Judgment motions to prevent civil liberties lawsuits from getting before a jury,; and the risks of inciting "Occupy Wallstreet" type Levellers. Holden Jones September 01, 2012 at 6:02 AM What a fascinating piece of work. Thanks and praise to Mr. Magnet. Excellent article, both as a history and philosophy lesson in human nature and of course the corresponding nature & propose of government. This is perhaps something that should be assigned to student desiring to learn of the philosophical and practical nature of our liberty. Where we stand in the world in the grand scheme of things. Gabriel Austin August 28, 2012 at 5:57 PM Add to the comments that of the Foreign Secretary who was fearful that a successful revolution would deprive England of the most lucrative slave trade. Gabriel Austin August 28, 2012 at 5:53 PM Excellent accound of the role of William Livingston. Just another celebration of America's Founding Slave Drivers yelping for liberty. Clark Neily August 27, 2012 at 6:29 PM I tend to think Chris Mahoney has it right in his comment. If there had been a British Dominion of North America would slavery have been outlawed throughout the British Empire when it was? Would there have been no Southern insurrection? Would there possibly never have been a WW I and a Bolshevik revolution? It may well have been unnecessary, but to know whether it was tragic as well, we'd have to know an alternative history we can never know... chris mahoney August 26, 2012 at 11:17 PM The American Revolution was a big misunderstanding caused by the pig-headedness of the Colonial governors and their distracted masters in London, compounded by the absence of rapid communication. It should never have happened in the way that it did, but rather in the way that Canada, NZ and Australia gained independence. It was the fault of British rudeness and arrogance, but it was tragic and unnecessary. Today's conservative would have been a Tory in 1776, if he could have kept his temper in check. |

Domain and cellar
The 18th century Château du Hureau perches up on a cliff looking out over the Loire. Complete with an octagonal tower, a troglodytic pigeon loft, a little tower sticking up out of the vines and of course its rock-hewn cellar, it really is quite exceptional – and well worth a visit! We would be delighted to welcome you here.
The tuffe limestone cellar
As its name implies, the village of Dampierre (pierre = stone!) was first known for the tuffe limestone that was extracted from the hillsides. Here, all the cellars were dug-out by hand, the first ones more than a thousand years ago, and ours is just one part of a huge underground labyrinth. The stone extracted was either sold or used for building and the resulting cellars were turned into shelters for the cattle and storage for the harvests, including of course the wine. The cellars offered perfect conditions for making and storing the local wines – high levels of humidity and a constant, cool temperature. When I took over the running of the estate in 1987 my first decision had to be whether or not to build a new building outside to house my new vats or to put them in the cellar. After much deliberation I chose the second option and haven't regretted it one minute. It's not possible to explain everything scientifically when it comes to wine-making, as too many factors come into play, but I'm convinced that we wouldn't make exactly the same wines in an outdoor building – maybe its something to do with the mould growing on the cellar walls, witness to a thousand vintages of wines...

Teen's who were allegedly playing a game called "pick 'em out and knock 'em out" murdered an innocent man in Chicago. The man was father of 12, 62 year old Delfino Mora.
Mora was picking aluminum cans out of the trash bin when the teens shot the video of them punching him to the ground.
When Mora hit the ground he cracked his skull against the concrete, which eventually lead to his death.
Nicholas Ayala, 17, and Anthony Malcolm, 18, and Malik Jones, 16, were the teens accused of selecting innocent bystanders to assault. Jones can be heard on the video saying "I think I'm going to knock this guy out."
The three teens left the alleyway laughing, leaving the bleeding Mora on the ground, prosecutor's spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said. Jones and Ayala returned a few minutes later to take $60 from his wallet, she said.
According to WGNTV Mr. Mora died in St. Francis Hospital the next day from cranial-cerebral injury, blunt head trauma and asthma, according to the Cook County medical examiner.
Jones posted the attack on Facebook, it was discovered, and eventually shown to a member of Mora's family.
"I want revenge, but my mom told us not to do anything," Emmanuel Mora, 20, told CNN affiliate WGN. "God would take care of him and he's going to pay twice."
The teens are charged with First Degree Murder, and will appear again in court in August.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The first round of press conferences are in the books in the build-up to Monday's BCS Championship Game. Fighting Irish Defensive Coordinator Bob Diaco and All-American linebacker Manti Te'o took their turns in front of the microphones on Thursday morning in South Florida.
Notre Dame has obviously come a long way in a short period of time. The Fighting Irish were unranked heading into the season, but the find themselves ranked No. 1 in the nation heading into their title game with defending champion Alabama. Diaco, who may be the epitome of Notre Dame's narrow daily focus, said during his 45 minute turn at the microphone that there were no light bulb moments of impending success along the way.
"We set up the business of the day every day so we don't even have time to look at and think about those particular things," Diaco said. "We're just interested in having the very best defense we can possibly have that particular day and when you focus that kind of energy and that kind of intense drilled-down focus on a job – we really don't spend a lot of time thinking about things like that."
Te'o, who sat beside Diaco taking questions during the press conference, had a different take on when he thinks things really started to turn for him and his team. Te'o's own sign showed itself last June when players were on their own to do their summer weight lifting and conditioning.
"Every single one of our players slowly worked their way into the weight room and did their lift," Te'o said of the dedication the Irish showed in the months before the start of the season. "Nobody asked anybody, nobody forced anyone, but the leaders went and the rest followed."
"It wasn't a moment where we were like, man we're going to make it to the national championship," Te'o continued. "It was just one of those moments where we said, okay, we have a chance here."
Manti The Salesman
Te'o has turned out to be the best recruiting tool any school could possibly hope for. He turned down the chance to head to the NFL last spring, but opted instead to return for his senior season. Te'o parlayed that into leading his team to a 12-0 record and a spot in the title game as well as becoming the Heisman runner-up and the most decorated defensive player in college football history.
With all the accolades in mind, Te'o was asked about his personal sales pitch to potential Irish recruits.
"I think our sales pitch is done on the field and I think when you get to Notre Dame, for those who have been to Notre Dame, it speaks for itself," he replied. "Two things happen when you go to Notre Dame: Either you fall in love with it or you don't. There's no in between."
Te'o knows that Notre Dame is much bigger than anything he can say to recruits or even do on the field. "Movies are made about that locker room," he said. "For me to run out that tunnel for the first time and for me to run out of it for the last time and to be in a brighter spot than I was when I ran out of it the first time was definitely a big accomplishment not only for myself, but for the rest of the seniors and for our team."
Hard Work
After a record awards haul last month it would have been easy for Te'o to rest on his laurels. That is not his style though Te'o made sure he was able to work out in hotels as he and Brian Kelly crisscrossed the nation as he received award after award. He missed his team's awards banquet and the first few bowl practices while he was in New York and California at the end of his journey, but it did not take him long to put his nose to the grindstone.
"Manti has actually practiced harder the last week since the award circuit, practiced harder than he has all year long," Diaco said of the defensive captain. "He himself has raised his game even just as early as last week and leading up to the travel here to South Florida."
While Diaco was effuse in his praise of Te'o's hard work, Te'o had high praise for his teammates – specifically when asked about safety Zeke Motta.
"I have guys around me that are that example for me, even for myself, that I can always give more," Te'o began. "Zeke Motta is someone who always gives me, not only for himself but because that's how much he cares about this team and that's how important this game is to him."
"He's just that guy out there who's working hard, but also he's helping to just b that kind of traffic control guy out there for the young guys, because I think the youngest group we have out there is our secondary. By the way they play you wouldn't tell, because of No. 17 (Motta) and his maturity and how he just facilitates everything back there."
Motta's 61 tackles this season are second only to Te'o's 103. He has also helped converted offensive players Matthias Farley and KeiVarae Russell learn on the job throughout the season.
"Not one time has he ever complained." Diaco began on Motta. "Not one time has he ever not tried to do what you're asking him to do. He takes his job and work very, very seriously and (has) just sheer toughness."
"This is a tough, tough individual," Diaco continued. "Not only contact tough, (but also) mentally tough. If you were going to any kind of battle to do any kind of competitive anything you'd want to take Zeke Motta with you."
Taking a Stand
Notre Dame's defense has been dominant in the red zone this season. The Irish have allowed opponents to score just two rushing touchdowns, while allowing just eight touchdowns in 33 red zone opportunities (24%) in 2012.
A pair of high profile goal line stands is included in that success. The first is the infamous overtime stand against Stanford and the other came at the end of the regular season ending victory over USC. Diaco says there is no specific "art" to making a goal line stand.
"Our unit fundamentally will continue to improve if we make sure that's the identity of the day," he began. "The goal line stands are a function of players knowing clearly exactly what to do. (By) playing with whole heart, whole body (and) whole mind (and) being physically talented enough to get their job done and win their individual mach-up at that particular moment."
In Diaco's estimation the goal line stand is less about Xs and Os and more about the "next man in" mentality Brian Kelly has preached since his arrival three years ago. That mentality has "permeated through the defense".
"We continue that same identity on the defense in that no situation will be too much for us to take on and not place on the field will we get discouraged," Diaco said of ND's philosophy. "No matter how many times, no matter how many turnovers, no matter how many opportunities, no matter where the ball is placed. That kind of energy and then you create that next level of energy as, hey, what a great challenge. This isn't a negative, this is a great challenge. You have an opportunity to do something really special here and your game rises."
Or as Louis Nix would say "You've gotta want the water."
The Broyles Award
Diaco received the 2012 Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant coach for his work with the Fighting Irish defense this season.
"It's a great honor," Diaco said of the award. "Representing coaches all across the country, I speak probably for most when I say that's an award that we really point to to identify a job well done of service."
"I see it as a staff award – an assistant coaches' staff award," he continued. "An assistant coaches' staff award that was created and had an opportunity not only by the defensive coaches that I work with specifically, but the offensive coaches and the work that they've done in the transition from 2011 to 2012."
Diaco said receiving the award is even more validating, because the voting committee is comprised solely of Hall of Fame caliber coaches. He is the first Notre Dame assistant to ever receive the award.
A.J. McCarron
With a rushing offense that averages 224 yards a game, Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron is viewed by most to be a "game manager". That is how most Crimson Tide QBs have been regarded in Head Coach Nick Saban's system. Diaco has a little bit different terminology though.
"He's the driver," Diaco said of McCarron. "He's the coach on the field. You can see he puts them in the right spots."
Diaco went on to say that McCarron is an extension of Saban when he is on the field with the Crimson Tide offense.
"The quarterback conducts the game just like if Nick Saban was taking the snap himself," Diaco explained. "He doesn't put the team in bad spots. He doesn't make poor decisions with the ball. He's working the game and managing the game and putting the offense in the appropriate plays, just like you'd think the inside linebacker or the safety would do for their defense. It's an incredible organization to watch offensively led by the quarterback."
McCarron has completed 66.8 percent of his passes in his 26 starts over the last two seasons. He has 26 touchdown passes and just three interceptions this season.
"Watching A.J. and watching film and watching how he conducts his offense and just the confidence he has back there," Te'o began on McCarron. "to first know what play to run, to make the checks for that play and having confidence in his arm – he's very accurate. ..like Coach (Diaco) said, he's Coach Saban out there. He doesn't make silly mistakes. He's their general on offense and he does a really good job at it."
McCarron's 26 touchdown passes this season are a school record. A pretty good distinction for a school that sent the likes of Kenny Stabler and Joe Namath to the NFL.
Bring It On
It's no shock that Te'o and Diaco both sung McCarron's praises, but at the end of the day beating Alabama is still about playing the brand of physical football the Irish defense became accustomed to playing this season. Alabama is going to line-up and try to run at Notre Dame and the Irish are going to line-up and hit right back.
"That's football at its finest," Te'o said of the physical battle that awaits next Monday night. "This is going to be an opportunity that we've been waiting for a long time. As a linebacker, to know that you're going to be run at."
Big back Eddie Lacy leads Alabama with 1,182 rushing yards, while quicker back T.J. Yeldon has exactly 1,000 yards. They have combined to run for 27 touchdowns.
"We understand obviously what Alabama can do," Te'o continued. We've seen it. Everybody has seen it and it starts with their O-line. We've talked about the best collective group of linemen and it's going to be a great challenge and a challenge that we look forward to. You combine that with their running backs, yeah, we've seen what they can do and everybody has seen what they can do and we're just real excited to get out there and play."
Alabama's offensive line, led by All-American center Barrett Jones, is the key to the entire operation. Jones was injured in the SEC Championship Game, but said on Thursday that he will be at full strength when Monday's game rolls around. He is joined by fellow All-American Chance Warmack at left guard. It is a line that is not about stars though, as Diaco points out.
"Tackle to tackle it's the best group/collection of offensive linemen we've played against," Diaco praised of Alabama's offensive big men. "They're uniquely big and fast. They have quick twitch. They're not on the ground. They have excellent contact balance and ballast."
"They play very hard; that's another unique trait," Diaco continued. It's not another happy go lucky group of offensive linemen. This is an angry, aggressive, intense group of players that play hard and finish blocks."
The Experience Factor
It has been nearly a quarter century since Notre Dame last played for a national championship, while Alabama is playing in its third BCS Title Game in the last four years. Diaco thinks that big game factor could be an initial advantage, but expects things to even out after the initial shock and awe after kickoff.
"Both teams are about the same for the first few minutes of the game and then the game kind of settles into itself," Diaco explained. "We continue to ring that home with the players. We point towards contests and battles that we've had this year, not only individual match-up contests and battles, but (also) overall game moments that were as big as big can be."
"The fact of the matter is there's going to be a play and you're going to stand there and I'm going to be across from you," Diaco continued. "You're going to try to block me and I'm going to try to whip you. I'm not thinking about media, press, the sign, who's there, who's not. It's just me and you and that's it."
No shock, Te'o is in step with his defensive coach's line of thinking.
"I've always been a believer that regardless of the situation the field is still 120 yards long," Te'o said of any potential title game awe. "The football is still the same shape and everybody straps on their chinstraps the same way. We understand this is a big game, but at the end of the day it's still football. I think when we start to do things differently than we've done all season that's when we're going to start getting into trouble."

Lyrics to The Concert For Bangla Desh
George Harrison's social and spiritual conscience had been an increasingly dominant force in the Beatles' final years, and his landmark 1970 solo album, All Things Must Pass, wasted little time giving it a remarkable, Phil Spector-produced forum. Harrison took the spotlight that album's success afforded and next turned it on the dire circumstances then afflicting the young nation of Bangladesh. Gathering most of the sidemen from the All Things album, and a lineup of stellar friends (Bob Dylan, Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, Ravi Shankar) and former Apple cronies (Ringo Starr, Badfinger, Billy Preston), Harrison set about staging some hastily organized benefit concerts at Madison Square Garden. This album resulted, and while its sonic imperfections sometimes belie the show's haphazard organization, it's nonetheless still the one of the greatest efforts of its genre. The All Things material gets a lively live workout, while Russell very nearly steals the show. The occasion also marked Dylan's return to live performance after a long absence. Jerry McCulley

Unscrupulous Self-Pubbers II: Sleazy Review Services
Yesterday I spent far too long reading a Twilight ripoff. The author said as much in her interview about the book on the product page, though I didn't notice it was a vampire trilogy until I had already downloaded it. It was at the top of the Kindle charts, the cover and description looked interesting, the editorial reviews were highly complimentary (even though I'd never heard of most of the sources), and hey, it was free. So why not?
I must now, unfortunately, join the leagues of readers who complain about books they received for free. I didn't lose out monetarily, but I felt ripped off anyway. It wasn't a bad book. It was just very, very far from the engaging, thrilling read it was purported to be. It was slow and plodding, with inconsistent characters and cliché dialogue around every turn, with chapters of long-winded discussion on 19th century poets and novelists that, I'm sure, were supposed to be deep and significant. The pages were practically stamped with a logo saying, "I have an M.A. in English."
I may be a little harsher towards this author than the average consumer, because she happened to write about a librarian and then have the misfortune to get a reader with an MLS. The heroine was supposed to be a departmental liaison for a college library, but she spent all of her time hanging around the circulation desk and delivering books to (and flirting with) faculty like a clerk paid minimum wage. The author clearly chose the position because it was convenient and snuggly, and she didn't bother to glance over a sample job ad for what departmental liaisons actually do. Collection development? Information literacy classes? Managing support staff and student pages? Wahh? She probably didn't even realize that a woman like that would need an MLS plus a subject-specific master's, and preferably a PhD. She just assumed, per the stereotype, that librarians are old maids who take pleasant strolls with trolleys through the stacks, sniffing the aging tomes like cocaine (the girl literally says, in chapter 18, that "There's nothing more lovely to a librarian than a roomful of books.").
Anyway, though I was ticked off enough that she Did Not Do The Research, I was mostly angry that I'd been misled by the editorial reviews into expecting something good. It wasn't until I looked up the sources that I found they were questionable at best, and sleazy at worst.
San Francisco Book Review
San Francisco Book Review is apparently part of a chain of review organizations in different Northwest cities: Sacramento, Portland, etc. They take general submissions and send them out to independent reviewers, just like Booklist and Library Journal. Just like Booklist and Library Journal, reviews are not guaranteed to be complimentary, or even written at all. That is, unless you participate in their "Sponsored Reviews Program."
For only $125, or $299 for expedited service, you can get "a 300+ words professional review usable by the author for marketing, sales, or other material." No, no they're not in the business of providing glowing "vanity reviews." If you don't like it, you can just exchange it for a paid ad on their website. And if you do, "you can choose to also run it in Portland Book Review, our sister publication, for only $99!"
Allbooks Review
Just like San Francisco Book Review, Allbooks Review doesn't guarantee reviews for free submissions. Books submitted for Promo Packages are a different story. Then you can choose which staff member you want to write your review, though it doesn't matter much who you pick because "98% of our reviews are positive and usable" (they put this in their FAQs; I kid you not). The sample merchandise for this particular book:
The author is a true master of the written word. The characters are realistic and easy to know. The descriptions are vivid and enriching. An excellent read that will keep you involved until the final page.
I seem to have seen that review copy/pasted a time or twenty before. Probably on various pages of Goodreads, where they're happy to post the review if you ask (they were banned from doing the same on Amazon). But they're not shady or anything. They're just running this business out of the goodness of their hearts.
Why doesn't Allbooks Reviews charge exorbitant rates like some other promotion companies? Because we are authors ourselves and we know how hard it is to promote your book. Our prime objective is to be of assistance, to encourage and support fellow authors, we are not here to get rich or take advantage of anyone. The small fee that we charge for our promo package covers our administration costs and helps us improve our services and our site so that your book will receive the best promotion possible.
Indie Reader
Indie Reader is the clean one. They don't peddle reviews like second-hand engagement rings...anymore.
IndieReader no longer offers paid book reviews. The only way to guarantee a review...is for us to select your book from among the many we receive. The other option is to sign-up for the IR Discovery Awards, entry to which includes a guaranteed review.
...And the entry to which costs only $150! Plus $50 for each additional category you want to enter the book in. See? No paid reviews. That would just be unethical. The investment for this contest is worth it, believe me. Because if you win, you could get:
- A professional IndieReader review
- Exposure to a panel of judges who can make a difference in your book's success
- An IndieReader "All About the Book" feature
- A sticker pronouncing your book an "IndieReader Discovery Awards" winner
OMG, a sticker?! Who doesn't love stickers? Also, there's one final grand prize up their sleeves: a review from Kirkus Reviews! So if you win, the entry fee is actually saving you some $275....
Kirkus Reviews
The author of this book didn't use Kirkus, but they've been on my radar for some time. Unlike the smaller garage start-ups listed above, Kirkus has a long and lustrous history, beginning from the respectable Kirkus' Book Shop Bulletin of 1933. Now they've decided to capitalize on the self-publishing craze by offering Kirkus Indie, which "curates the self-published segment of the industry to help consumers and industry influencers (such as publishers, agents, film producers, librarians and booksellers) discover books they may otherwise never find."
How do they do this? Well, first they charge $425 per review, or $575 for the express service (mainstream book submissions, on the other hand, cost nothing). For this, they'll send you a 250-350 word review via email.
On top of that, our editors will consider it for publication in Kirkus Reviews magazine, which is read by librarians, booksellers, publishers, agents, journalists and entertainment executives. Your review may also be selected to be featured in our email newsletter, which is distributed to more than 50,000 industry professionals and consumers.
You might be considered for publication in a giant list of traditional books that were included for free! And you may be selected to be featured in an emailed newsletter! Never underestimate the power of the emailed newsletter. Your $575 will come zipping back to you in a matter of minutes once the secretary clicks the "send" button.
Now, it's perfectly possible that the author of this book I hated received all of those reviews through anonymous readers and the general, free submission processes of these companies. But I wouldn't count on it. When companies are up to despicable things like this, dangling five star carrots in front of desperate self-publishers, I wouldn't trust anything they say much more than I do the testimony of those "real women" on cosmetics infomercials.

Ductwork design and installation is an important but often overlooked factor in a home's cooling and heating efficiency. Poorly designed, improperly installed, aging or damaged ductwork often results in inconsistent heating or cooling and causes your furnace or air conditioner to work extra hard. That wastes both energy and money.
Ductwork refers to the network of tubes designed to distribute conditioned air from a forced-air furnace or A/C unit to registers throughout the house. Your ductwork system should contain no leaks and should distribute warmed or cooled air evenly throughout the house in accordance with thermostat settings. As advances are made in energy-efficient home appliances and building design, awareness of the importance of ductwork efficiency is growing.
Poor ductwork design and installation or damaged, leaky ductwork can lead to a number of problems:
- Higher energy use as furnaces or A/C units struggle to compensate for leaks.
- Poor airflow if the ductwork contains extraneous branches or bends or kinks.
- Uneven heating or cooling in different parts of the home.
- Inadequate heating or cooling regardless of thermostat settings.
- Presence of moisture, dust or other impurities — even insects or other pests in the ductwork.
- Little or no change in energy consumption despite installation of energy-efficient A/C or furnace units.
These issues can all be addressed by testing, cleaning, sealing and repairing your duct system. You may be able to inspect ductwork in your attic, basement or crawl space and around registers for kinks, leaks, holes or other damage. But ductwork is often located in difficult-to-access areas, such as behind walls and between floors along with electrical wires and water pipes. So it may be easier to have your duct system examined by a professional.
Having your ductwork in tip-top shape will help keep your Sacramento-area home comfortable year-round. The home comfort specialists at All Year are always happy to provide answers, expert advice and solutions for your heating, cooling and energy-efficiency needs. Please contact us.
Our goal is to help educate our customers about energy and home comfort issues (specific to HVAC systems). For more information about ductwork and other HVAC topics, click here to download our free Home Comfort Resource guide.

Women's Soccer Falls at Home to Newberry, 4-1
October 9, 2013ANDERSON, S.C. – Freshman Helena Moore deflected a senior Krystal Goss free kick into the Newberry net in the 70th minute, but the goal was not enough to mount a comeback as Anderson University women's soccer fell to the Wolves, 4-1, Wednesday afternoon at Trojan Stadium.
Moore recorded her second goal of the season, as AU dropped to 2-5-4 overall and suffered its first South Atlantic Conference loss of the season, falling to 1-1-4. Newberry adds its fourth conference win of the season after netting three second half goals, including back-to-back tallies in the 67th and 68th minute by Gabrielle Broadie and Rachael Jonas, respectively.
Jonas opened the scoring in the opening half right on the 40-minute mark as she lobbed a shot over Anderson goalkeeper Sadie Lancaster's head from around 40 yards from goal. The goal was Jonas' first of the season as she would later add her second goal in the final half.
Leading the Trojans in shots was Moore, redshirt sophomore Faith Johannes and freshman Emily Perez who each tallied three shots for the afternoon. Moore troubled Newberry goalkeeper Rebecca Darley twice, as the NC defense kept Goss, AU's leading goal scorer, off balance for the majority of the match. Despite the 4-1 score line, Anderson outshot the Wolves, 15-13.
Defensively, Lancaster finished the match with two saves, but suffered her first loss in a Trojan uniform after making her collegiate debut on Sunday at Tusculum.
"Newberry did very well to finish their opportunities from distance," head coach Samar Azem said. "I need to do better at preparing our group for games and we will move on and build from this."
The Trojans continue SAC play on Saturday when they travel to Lenoir-Rhyne. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m.

These work well, but are not meant for a smoothly finished hole. Can be sharpened easily. A good addition to a standard set.

Kingston children services 'will not be sold off' promises council leader
6:00am Thursday 17th October 2013 in News By Ross Logan, Chief Reporter
Kingston Council leader Liz Green has promised the borough's children's services will not be sold off to a private company after merging with Richmond.
Achieving for Children (AFC) has been set up as a social enterprise jointly owned by both authorities to provide the boroughs' children's services – in the shadow of Kingston safeguarding being rated inadequate by Ofsted.
But Liberal Democrats in Richmond have expressed fears that the borough's ruling Tory party will eventually outsource the company to a private contractor free of council control.
Richmond Council leader Lord True has even publicly stated that the idea was a "possibility".
But Coun Green said both administrations had to meet in the middle when it came to agreeing the future of AFC - which meant keeping the company fully-owned by the two councils.
Coun Green said: "We will not be selling off Kingston's children's services.
"I'm not even sure that you can. There are statutory duties to be undertaken.
"I have met with Lord True since becoming leader and I have probably been one of the more sceptical members on the AFC board.
"I do sometimes think Richmond get an idea in their heads and want to push ahead without taking the necessary steps.
"I know Richmond feel we've dragged our feet on this.
"It's not moved ahead as quickly as they would have liked but not as slowly as we would have liked. We have ended up somewhere in the middle."
But Coun Green's Lib Dem counterpart Stephen Knight, leader of the opposition party in Richmond, said: "It's clear the Conservatives in Richmond have always had the ambition, and I've seen nothing to suggest it is not still their ambition, to eventually float off the company.
"I think it was only the presence of Lib Dems in Kingston who have put the hold on that. The future will inevitably depend on the results of the elections next year."
Conservative councillor Andrea Craig, Kingston's opposition member for children's health and wellbeing, accused councillor Knight of "scaremongering".
Lord True was not available for comment.
AFC was last week handed £500,000 by the department for communities and local government to help fund ICT development and establish a centre of excellence for other authorities and public service providers.

I don't think that child protection (nor education) should never be motivated by profit. In a profit driven culture, greed will always permeate through any initial alleged controls and safeguards.
If this country cared about it's future, then some things wouldn't be for sale to the Tories big business mates, spivs, and assorted hangers on. Childern's education adn protection should be top of the list.
Just look at the fast unravelling fiasco that privatising our children's schools under the guise of Michael Grove's "free schools".
I urge everybody, especially parents, to read this today's article by an ex-London teacher on Tory education iminister Michael Grove's ideologically driven shambles that leaves children at the mercy of private companies that are allowed to employ unqualified staff as teachers, and, unforgivably, are given carte blanche to escape Ofsted inspection.

This is yet another scaremonger tactic so loved by the local LibDems to distract from their years of woeful maladministration.

Mr Chipps wrote:Surely playing the man rather than addressing the points in the post is the most shallow and crude distraction of all. A case of Cretinous Communications methinks.
If anyone is ideologically driven it is Capt Shamrock and his LibDem colleagues.
This is yet another scaremonger tactic so loved by the local LibDems to distract from their years of woeful maladministration.
Did you actually read the teacher's article at the following link?
http://wp.me/p1HnuC- xg
Do actually have any answer to any of the points raised?
Nobody, not even a professional spin merchant, could spin or justify the Tories' wastelful, misdirected, negligently managed free schools fiasco. The great Michael Gove giveaway of taxpayer funds and assets to his friends in big companies and foreign tax avoiding hedge funds is a disgrace.
Nor can you spin or justify Kingston Tories refusal to support new state school places at Lime Tree and, very recently, at Christ Church School Surbiton. At a time when there was a desperate shortage of places, Kingston Tories' anti state education ideology prevented them from backing local parents.
Thankfully, your attempts were futile, and hundreds of local children have now got places at two great schools run for the benefit of children, not shareholders. Taught by fully qualified teachers.
There is no groundswell of support for the Tory "run for profit" schools here. The results of the 2010 official public consultation by the Office of the Schools Adjudicator for the great new Lime Tree school made that clear.
That's why the Kingston Council backed bid for Lime Tree won over a bid by some bunch of profit seeking shiny suited spivs.
Nobody in Surbiton or Tolworth is campaigning for schools where teachers, even head teachers, don't have to have any teaching qualifications. Only the most entrenched of Tory privatising, free marketeering idealogues could think unqualified teachers are best for Kingston borough's children.
Unfortunately, Michael Goves has dictated that any new school (probably on our council/publicly owned land) must be in the form of one of these free schools.

The children services in Kingston, I think that was condemned wasn't it, following a government inspection and their report on that inspection. I also think this was whilst it was under the Lib Dem administration of Kingston Council some past decade approx. Also I remember that the Lib Dems personally elected leader for all that time was Cllr Derek Osbourne who following that report declared he would and did take personal charge of children's services. Now of course Derek Osbourne is all over news reports in this paper, National news papers and National TV following his recent plea of guilty to the most disgusting criminal offences involving children. (incidentally, whilst we are on that subject has anyone checked the children's section of the Rose theatre, I am hearing the Lib Dems may have covered up something there and I can't establish if it is rumour or not. Does anyone know the truth of this or if it has any credibility or substance, it was something about someone leaving under mysterious circumstances) Then following the arrest of their personally elected leader, a leader they re elected quite a few times over the last decade (says something about their judgement) the outside inspection body was called back in again obviously because of natural fears and still found that their recommendations had not been done so thus condemned the children's services again. Yes I think this was all under the Lib Dems control of Kingston Council. Please feel free to check this for yourselves by asking the Council directly under a freedom of information request, not by reading what is being placed here by persons using false identities.
I think these local LibDems are out of step with their own LibDem Schools Minister and while they pursue their ideological objections they are happy to preside over maladministration in schools and safeguarding and see taxpayers money handed over to discredited departing local government employees.
There are NO EXCUSES EVER where Children are concerned. their health, education and life are absolute priority, these children our children are all of our futures. We all have an absolute duty to protect them, something this Lib Dem Council has not been doing.
