Worry about inflation.
Well that's what the government and the Federal Reserve have been telling us for years now.
They've used that argument as an excuse to print more money in a desperate attempt to goose the economy.
Even though many economists now say printing all that money is causing inflation.
For one thing by helping raise commodity costs.
And that has pushed up the cost of food especially you know these numbers take a look at these price hikes.
Meat and eggs that night 9% that is fish and dairy seven fresh vegetables up 6% you've seen -- that the store.
But the Fed doesn't know because apparently Ben Bernanke doesn't go to the grocery store.
-- you an idea when our friends of bank direct rate due to and they've also busted the myth that inflation isn't killing -- consider this.
-- 100000 dollars that is the magic six figure salary.
And it used to be a lot of money the benchmark for financial success you to do a lot what that money -- nice house two cars -- for your kids' college.
When he left over for vacations and retirement but not anymore my friend just to keep up with inflation if he made a 100000 in 1990.
You have to make over -- 172000.
Dollars today.
And that's just to keep up with inflation.
Other things like health care and college tuition as you now have gone up at a much faster rate.
Health care costs of more than doubled in the decade and we now owe more on college loans -- we do want credit cards.
Consider this if -- in your mid thirties and your parents were making six figures when you were born.
You have to be making close to half a million just to keep up with their spending power.
And in all of the -- -- on where you -- to a typical family -- a hundred grand would have to earn more than double that to live in New York City.

From The New York Times:
July 3, 2012
BAGHDAD — A truck with explosives hidden in its cargo of watermelons exploded on Tuesday in Diwaniya, a largely Shiite city in southern Iraq, killing at least 40 people, including a 6-year-old boy. It was the deadliest in a string of attacks in central and southern Iraq on Tuesday, continuing a surge in violence that began last month and exacerbating a sense of fatalism in the country.
In general, Iraqis have seen little improvement in their security for nearly three years, despite periodic lulls in violence and the narrative offered by American and some Iraqi officials of steady gains after the departure of the American military more than six months ago.
Antony J. Blinken, the national security adviser to Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., wrote in the current Foreign Affairs that since President Obama took office, "violence in Iraq has declined and remains at historic lows — a trend that has continued since the last U.S. troops departed late last year."
According to United Nations statistics, however, more Iraqis — civilians and members of the security forces alike — died from attacks in the first six months of 2012 than in the first half of 2011.
Security improved radically in 2007 and 2008, when a "surge" of American troops was sent to Iraq. But according to the United Nations figures, the rate of violence has been roughly level since 2009. The organization, which compiles data from a variety of sources and publishes it online, cautions on its Web site that the data "does not represent the official views of the organization, but provides a snapshot of information available at this time."
The United Nations reckoned that through June, 2,101 Iraqis were killed in violent attacks this year, compared with 1,832 in the first half of 2011.
Lately, many of the victims have been Shiites killed by Al Qaeda in Iraq, the Sunni insurgent group that has claimed responsibility for several high-profile attacks. The violence has not had any noticeable political impact, nor does it appear to threaten the state or indicate a return to widespread sectarian violence of the kind that Iraq suffered in 2006 and 2007.
The national government has been stuck in political paralysis since December, when an arrest warrant was issued for the vice president, Tariq al-Hashimi, a Sunni Arab, on charges that he commanded a death squad responsible for assassinations and bombings. Iraq's three main factions — the Shiite majority and the minority Sunni Arabs and Kurds — have been contending with one another for political power in a struggle infused with ancient grudges and resentments, precluding any sense of compromise or equanimity.
Sunnis and Kurds have called for the ouster of the Shiite prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, who has been asserting control over the apparatus of state. Many Iraqis worry that Mr. Maliki has gone too far in consolidating power. But others feel that only a strong man at the top can effectively lead the country, and Mr. Maliki's popularity has increased in many corners of Iraq.
Meanwhile, insurgents seem to be using the political situation as a pretext for attacks, and there is a widespread feeling that at least some of the violence is carried out by groups with links to politicians.
"I want to tell you one thing," Moktada al-Sadr, the cleric who once led a Shiite insurgent group that fought the Americans and now commands a major bloc in Parliament, said in a recent meeting with Iraqi and foreign journalists. "What is happening is not Sunni and Shia. It's about the political process. Al Qaeda is not for the Sunnis."
The truck bomb in Diwaniya on Tuesday morning was detonated near the city's main fish and vegetable market, where local officials had reopened the streets to vehicles less than five months ago after keeping them closed for years because of security concerns. The area was crowded with morning shoppers at the time of the explosion.
"What did we do wrong?" asked Saad Abbas, a teacher who awoke in a hospital after being wounded in the head and chest. "I was shopping for my family, and I felt a huge explosion. I fell to the ground, and the next thing I know I am in the hospital."
Over all, the attacks on Tuesday left at least 50 people dead and more than 100 wounded. The variety of methods was indicative of what Iraq still faces daily more than nine years after the American invasion: a huge truck bomb, improvised explosives and assassinations by gunfire.
In Karbala, a holy Shiite city in the south, two homemade bombs that were attached to vehicles detonated in a vegetable market, killing six people and wounding more than 25, according to a local police official. The explosions came three days before an important Shiite religious ceremony is scheduled to be held in the city, raising the specter of further violence against Shiite pilgrims, who are frequently targeted by insurgents.
In Taji, north of Baghdad, explosions killed two and wounded more than 15. Near Baquba, in Diyala Province, gunmen killed a soldier and a police officer, and the bodies of two people who had been shot in the head were found in a farmer's field, according to a police official.
In Diwaniya, which had been relatively placid before Tuesday, officials imposed a curfew and put out a call for blood donors.
At the badly damaged market, one shop owner considered Iraq's cruel fate.

Trayvon Martin's parents settle wrongful-death claim

Homeowners association is thought to have paid more than $1 million
By Rene Stutzman
Orlando Sentinel
SANFORD — Trayvon Martin's parents have settled a wrongful-death claim for an amount thought to be more than $1 million against the homeowners association of the Sanford subdivision where their teenage son was killed.
Their attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed that paperwork at the Seminole County Courthouse, a portion of which was made public Friday.
In the five pages of the settlement that were available for public review, the settlement amount had been marked out. Lower in the agreement, the parties specified that they would keep that amount confidential.
When asked during an earlier interview whether the amount was more than $1 million, Crump said: "I have no comment on that subject … I know you did not get that from me."
Trayvon was shot to death by Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman at the Retreat at Twin Lakes townhomes in Sanford on Feb. 26, 2012. Zimmerman served as head of the Neighborhood Watch and called police that evening, describing Trayvon as suspicious. He has said the teen attacked him and he fired in self-defense.
The community-association manager, Kent Taylor, did not return phone calls from the Orlando Sentinel about the settlement. Neither did its attorney, Thomas R. Slaten Jr.
Robert Taylor is founding partner of Taylor & Carls P.A., a law firm that represents homeowner associations but has no connection to the Retreat at Twin Lakes.
"When claims are filed, they're filed against anybody who could possibly have any culpability," he said. Trayvon's parents must have concluded that Zimmerman's homeowners association did, he said, thus the claim.
In the settlement, the association did not admit any wrongdoing or liability. Taylor said its decision to settle was most likely a business decision.
"It's really nothing more than a risk-versus-reward analysis," Taylor said.
The association's insurer, Travelers Casualty and Surety Co. of America, filed suit in federal court in August, asking a judge to clarify its liability in the case, but that suit was dropped in November.
"Travelers is not a party to the settlement," the company said in a prepared statement. "The settlement would have been with other insurers of the homeowners association and/or the property managers."
The policy had a $1 million limit, according to federal-court records, and went into effect March 30, 2012, a few weeks after Trayvon was shot. Trayvon's mother filed a claim with the insurer after it went into effect, according to federal-court records.
During an interview in February, Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, said Trayvon's parents had tried to settle through mediation and the association or its insurer had offered $1 million, but Trayvon's parents had rejected that amount.
O'Mara said the two parties then renewed talks and agreed to settle several months ago.
The portion of the settlement made public Friday had been edited to eliminate the names of the parties and people making payment.
"It is understood and agreed that the payment made herein is not to be construed as an admission of any liability by or on behalf of the releasing parties; but instead the monies being paid hereunder is consideration for avoiding litigation, the uncertainties stemming from litigation as well as to protect and secure the good name and good will of the released parties," the settlement said.
Under the terms of the settlement, Trayvon's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, and his estate agreed to set aside their wrongful-death claim and claims for pain and suffering, loss of earnings and expenses.
Crump has made clear that he intends to file suit later against Zimmerman, and the settlement spelled out that Zimmerman was not part of this deal.
Crump provided a copy of the settlement to O'Mara's office, that of Special Prosecutor Angela Corey and the judge Thursday, according to a cover page attached to the settlement that was placed in Zimmerman's criminal-case file. It was not immediately clear whether in those versions the settlement amount was blacked out as well.

Cooking Wines
Do you have any recommendations for cooking wines to keep on hand.
The drill down listed the Amontillado sherry.
Do these liquids keep for very long or should they be used up within a few days?
Julienne, chiffonade, emince...? Fancy names. Simple concepts. Find clarity here.
We do not recommend specific brands for cooking wines because their availability will vary depending where each student lives. If a recipe calls for dry white or full-bodied red, any "drinkable" wine will do. It doesn't have to be expensive but you should like the taste of it. Any wine store can help you make a selection. Boxed wines tend to keep longer so you can pour a bit from the spout as you need it. We have used inexpensive bottles of Amontillado sherry such as this one and they keep for quite some time. It's best to ask someone that is knowledgeable at the wine/liquor store about how long each brand can keep though. They are the experts. Cheers!

Okay, it's just my opinion, but in a sop to a day-so-humid-my-brain-cells-are-fried, I have a solution to save The Office when Steve Carell leaves at the end of next season.
Two words: Kathy Bates.
After Michael Scott (Carell) leaves, have Ms. Bates (Jo), who's CEO of the company that bought Dunder Mifflin, decide to move with her two Great Danes to a new head office at, you guessed it, the branch office we know so well. Make Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) even more obnoxious (and he was going that way this season) and, hijinks ensue. Sure, I've always liked the Ricky Gervais version better, but I think Bates could elevate The Office a cut above even the British version.
Just a thought and, like I said, my brain is melting.

It's been more than a century since Istanbul's residents were kept awake at night by the howling of tens of thousands of stray dogs.
The dogs were rounded up and shipped to a deserted island in the Marmara Sea where they starved to death -- all part of a government-led effort to modernize Istanbul.
But the stories surrounding the so-called "Great Dog Massacre of 1910" are still fresh in the minds of Turkey's animal rights activists. Today, these activists are staging massive protests against a proposal to create "natural habitat parks" for stray cats and dogs in Turkey's urban areas.
These parks, they say, would really be concentration camps for stray animals.
"It's a law that might be killing hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats and little animals," said Michael Halfie, a television personality who joined thousands of demonstrators, many of whom marched with their pet dogs, through downtown Istanbul late last month. "We are now the voice of these voiceless, wonderful animals."
Supporters of the bill insist that the proposed law would protect these animals, who are left to fend for themselves on the city streets.
"The purpose of the law is to ensure a comfortable life for animals and that they be treated well," according to the government ministry that wrote Draft Law 5199. The ministry also said the law would "ensure that they are protected as best as possible from bad treatment, pain and suffering."
In recent weeks, animal rights activists have staged colorful, furious protests in Istanbul and more than a dozen other cities and towns across Turkey, criticizing the proposed legislation in the starkest terms before it was even submitted to a parliamentary vote.
"I am here only because I love animals. They are not animals for me, they are like my children," said Romali Perihan.
Perihan, an actress and singer from Turkish films of the 1970s and '80s who sported brightly dyed pink hair, strained to be heard over the roar of a crowd of protesters in Istanbul.
"I'm a soprano, I need my voice. But for animals I lost my voice!" she yelled.
The "natural habitat parks" outlined in the proposed legislation would be temporary homes for strays when there isn't enough room in animal shelters, until they are adopted, according to the Turkish Forestry and Water Works Ministry.
"They will be looked after, fed and sheltered," explained the ministry in an e-mail to CNN.
The parks would be built on the outskirts of cities, and would be equipped with facilities for visiting school groups, as well as veterinary departments, according to the ministry's blueprints.
But some animal rights activists fear the natural habitat parks will become dumping grounds for stray animals, a charge the Forestry Ministry bluntly denies.
"As a lawyer, when I read the article, it says un-owned animals will be collected. Which means to me any kind of animals you see around, even the ones I own -- if they run away into the street, it's a potential animal to be collected," said Deniz Taysanl Kalafatoglu, vice president of the Istanbul Bar Association's Animal Rights Commission.
Animals are furry fixtures on the street corners of nearly every Turkish neighborhood. In Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, it's not unusual to see cafes and bars adopting strays as pets -- cats even take seats at bars to lap up saucers of milk, next to patrons sipping more fermented substances.
The practice of feeding and caring for neighborhood strays extends to butcher shops and even street vendors.
In Istanbul's throbbing Taksim Square, Husnu Atac sells the Turkish bagel known as "simit" from his car. Next to him, a white dog basks in the autumn sun.
"I love him by my side," said Atac, who named the dog Reis, which means chief in Turkish.
Atac noted that in recent weeks, municipal workers had collected at least five other stray dogs that he used to feed regularly.
"If the state can't guarantee that they will take care of the animals," Atac said, "then we are willing to take care of them."
Turkey's government insists there will be no round-up of strays.
"Cats and dogs being rounded up, not the case," the Turkish Forestry Ministry wrote in a blunt, one-line response to an e-mail question from CNN asking whether it should be acceptable to have dogs and cats living in Turkish streets.
Critics have also latched on to another vaguely worded clause of the proposed law that would limit the number of animals in a single household. Some pet owners expressed fear the law would force them to give up their beloved animals.

I could not agree with you more Hockeyladd 33, seldom do these guys get there stock price predictions correct. Too many unknowns, the worst of which in my opinion is the global economies. The situation with our neighbors to the south is brutal, and must change very quickly. I think these markets have punished just about every company out there especially the juniors. In a normal market, i believe PTA would have a much higher share price. Lets hope for continued drilling success, increased production numbers, and much more favorable market conditions. The stock price will take care of its self.

Opening-day prices on original menu items today at Orange County-based restaurant.
By DEEPA BHARATH / THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
NEWPORT BEACH – Ruby Cavanaugh was not a big fan of her first name, which her grandmother gave her.
Until she saw it lit up in red at the edge of the Balboa Pier.
All Ruby's restaurants, except the ones in John Wayne Airport and at the Shake Shack on Coast Highway, will participate in a special 30th anniversary celebration by offering original 1982 opening day menu items at the original prices from 7 a.m. to closing today.
Ruby's on Balboa Pier will close at 4:30 p.m. for a private celebration. Just today, two eggs any style will sell for $2.25, RubyBurgers for $2.15, Ruby's Famous Fries for $1 and Fantastic Milk Shake for $1.60.
It was 30 years ago that her son Doug Cavanaugh, after closing down his somewhat-seasonal enterprise in Nantucket Island, left for an early morning jog by the Balboa Pier and came back home with the idea of transforming a dilapidated shack on the pier into a 1940s-inspired diner named after his mother.
Ruby's opened its first diner on Balboa Pier on Dec. 7, 1982, with three employees and a dinner menu of hot dogs, hamburgers and malts. The décor was complete with bright-red vinyl booths, white Formica tables, soda fountains and colorful Coca-Cola posters.
Today, all Ruby's restaurants will harken back to the early 1980s, when Ronald Reagan was in the White House and the Original RubyBurger sold for $2.15. From 7 a.m. to closing – just today – the restaurants will offer its opening-day menu items at 1982 prices. The Balboa Pier restaurant will close at 4:30 p.m. for a private celebration. The John Wayne Airport location and the Shake Shack will not participate in the promotion.
Ruby Cavanaugh says at the heart of its success is the restaurant's effort to recreate simpler, happier times.
"It's amazing that when you walk into Ruby's, everything is so cheerful," says Cavanaugh, now 90. "The 1940s was a time when people seemed to be more at ease, but it was also after the war when people were working together to get back on their feet."
Doug Cavanaugh, founder and CEO, likens a visit to Ruby's to a visit to grandma's house.
"Our world today is so complex and challenged," he said. "Ruby's is anti-hip and as square as they come. We're happy to be stuck in a time warp."
Today, Ruby's has 38 restaurants nationwide. Doug Cavanaugh says they have found a new niche in airports. He plans to expand with other airports as well as smaller restaurants that cater to a take-out clientele.
Looking back, Cavanaugh says, the restaurant has been appropriately named.
"Ruby is an old-fashioned name," he says. "It has character and color, just like my mom. She is an amazing mother, a member of the Greatest Generation. This restaurant is a reflection of my mother and her wonderful spirit."

10 Questions for Vince Cable, post-Question Time
An open letter to the Business Secretary following our debate on BBC1.
By Mehdi Hasan Published 24 September 2010 3:39Dear Vince,
Nice to see you last night in Liverpool. I just got home!
You've had a great week, with a strong speech to your party members at the Lib Dem conference followed by a fluent performance on Question Time. (You were also, I hear, a big draw at the NS fringe on "progressive austerity" in Liverpool on Monday.)
But QT is just too short for me. Sixty minutes? Call me greedy, but I wanted more time to continue our debate and discussion on the economy. If we'd had longer, and it'd just been you and me, here are the questions I'd like you to have answered for me:
1) You have referred to "slashing now" as "an act of economic masochism" (13 March 2010) and have said that "cutting too soon and pushing the economy back into recession will make the deficit worse, as tax receipts fall and benefit payments rise" (24 April 2010), so how can you now claim that your opponents are "deficit deniers" for making precisely the same case as you made only months ago?
2) You claimed last night on television that we were facing a financial "emergency" and that the deficit had to be confronted and cut down. But in your book, The Storm, you wrote that UK debt is "moderate in comparison with those of other countries" (p25) and that budget deficits of 13 or 14 per cent in the US and the UK were "not a great cause for alarm" (p144). How do you explain the disconnect?
3) You referred in your conference speech to the "spivs" and "gamblers" in the City, and denounced bankers' bonuses on Question Time, but bank shares rallied after your coalition's "emergency Budget" in June and Deutsche Bank, for example, described the Budget as a "good outcome for banks". Again, how do you explain the disconnect?
4) Nick Clegg said five days before the general election: "My eight-year-old ought to be able to work this out -- you shouldn't start slamming on the brakes when the economy is barely growing." How is it that eight-year-old Antonio Clegg has a greater grasp of economic theory, and of the lessons of economic history, than you, Clegg or Danny Alexander?
5) Do the latest figures from the Republic of Ireland worry you? Make you doubt your support for immediate and widespread "austerity"?
6) How about the news from the eurozone?
7) You have said that John Maynard Keynes is your hero, but isn't Keynes turning in his grave right now? Why is it that all the leading Keynesian economists (Paul Krugman, Joseph Stiglitz, David Blanchflower, Robert Skidelsky, etc) are so opposed to your coalition's cuts?
8) Can you tell us when exactly you switched your position on cuts? The date and time, please?
9) In the green room before the programme was recorded, you and I discussed how much Liverpool had changed and progressed in recent years. So do you agree or disagree with the Lib Dem leader of Liverpool City Council, Warren Bradley, when he says that northern cities like his own "could be set back ten or 20 years" by the impact of your coalition's cuts?
10) You condemned monopolies and "rigged markets" in your conference speech. Will you promise to launch a review, on public-interest grounds, of Rupert Murdoch's bid to take full control of BSkyB? Or will you have to check with Andy Coulson first?
I hope you had a safe journey back to London.

Hello to every , because I am truly eager of reading this webpage's post to be updated daily. It includes nice information.
Would you be fascinated about exchanging links?
Would you be interested by exchanging links?
Every weekend i used to pay a quick visit this web site, for the reason that i wish for enjoyment, as this this website conations really pleasant funny material too.
Thanks to my father who shared with me regarding this blog, this web site is genuinely remarkable.
This website online is mostly a walk-through for all of the info you needed about this and didn't know who to ask. Glimpse right here, and you'll definitely discover it.
err excuse me "James" I think you'd better change your name... I called first dibs on it. Besides, I really wouldn't want to be confused with a child-abuse condoning catholic.
on question time vince cable said "we are in real finacial difficulties and worse" what does the worse mean
Robert: Was it not the chap in the audience who made the jibe about Cable joining the BNP? Think you will find it was.
If you've got a problem, perhaps you should change your name. Try "Titus" on for size.
James,re "the more significant position of the two"; why would any sane polite well-mannered person think that you abusing s.o. you have never met on a bb as a "child-abuse condoning Catholic" might be significant. Sad,rude, bigoted, yes. Significant, no, member of Mensa (bow, bow, scrape, you masses), or not. Learn some manners. And no, I am neither a Catholic nor do I know the man you abused.
@Daragh McDowell
"You were on QT last night? Well guess that's one hour struck off my iPlayer list..."
Shucks. That must've been devastating. Irreparable damage to MH'S heart! Jeez.

"Mehdi, if you were talking to Vince before the programme, why didn't you ask him some of these questions then? Just a thought..."
So have a friendly chat with VC in the green room. Put him at ease, let him drop his defenses, get a few pointers, and then really thrash him on those points in the program.
That would be a very under-handed way to conduct oneself, don't you think?
medhi hassan is the nick griffin of the muslim world,your attack on the pope on question time just confirms to me why muslims have no place in british soceity with this hatred and extremism that has cursed this country since 1997 when new labour opened the floodgates of mass immigration to the uk of muslims from terrorist states like pakistan,iraq and afghanistan,you medhi hassan showed your true colours on question time and if your supposed to be a moderate muslim well god help us what your exremists brothers of yours thinks of the west and the uk,
Excellent performance on both QT and Sunday Morning Mehdi. I thought you did particularly well on Sunday Morning with some particularly sensitive topics. You seemed to have drawn the short straw as you were the only panelist that stayed on for the whole programme! Hope to continue to see you on the box.
@James (26 September 2010 at 06:23)
But the question is surely whether the rate of paedophilia/cover-ups in the Catholic church is higher than in other comparable institutions (i.e. other religious groups, state schools, secular youth groups etc)? From what (limited) systematic comparatative studies there have been the RC percentage rate seems to be if anything slightly lower than in Protestant denominations and MUCH lower than in the secular school system. Can two reports (which deal with allegations, not legal convictions) from small nations about an institution which has over a billion members be counted as authorative? So at what ratio of paedophiles to non-paedophiles is one justified to make the blanket judgement that paedophilia is "part and parcel" of an organisation?
What Cable needs to answer is what the hell he is doing at the moment, he seems to be lost, floating around some strange Brit political coalition oether.
Please tell us Cable, because we do not know what you are up to.
Mr Hasan
I did not know who you were before Friday. Watching you on QT I was very, very impressed - I was in agreement with most all you said. I enjoyed your passion and that you came accross as not 'one of the gang'. Now there's a young man who is no politician I cheered. He says it as it is.
On Saturday I came to this website to find out more. I spent hours reading your articles and the associated comments. And I must admit I was a little troubled by what I found. In particular I found no explanation from you for your words concerning non-believers and animals. And yes, I read your article addressing this question but found obfuscation therein. But ok, I thought, you are a man of faith. Perhaps you were just quoting the Koran and perhaps your words were easily misread out of context.
After watching Ed Miliband on Andrew Marr's show I noticed you were on the following programme and decided to watch. I thought you were clearly uncomfortable in the discussion about sex workers and unprepared to listen to the more informed such as the sex workers union representative. Ho hum, I thought, well this is a subject that calls beyond intellect and we can all find ourselves confused in such matters without fully understanding why.
But then came the conversation regarding homosexualility. In your one comment during this piece you conspicuously failed to take the opportunity to defend a persons right to a non-heterosexual sexuality. Instead you chose to attack "aggressive secularism". Oh dear, you took the politicians choice to avoid the question. Do you not see that your inability to defend a persecuted minority of which you do not belong diminishes your defence of a persecuted minority to which you do belong? Are you not asking yourself how you found yourself in agreement with an obvious loathsome bigot?
It is hard to recognize and escape the bigotry into which we are born. I am an aging fella who has struggled for tolerance and wealth distribution all my adult life, but I grew up in a time and a working class where racism was rife. I had to learn that my community, my mum and dad, my uncles and aunts, my friends were wrong. It wasn't easy and at the time caused much pain. But it was the right thing to do.
I do not want to believe you are a homophobe or a religious bigot. You may well be struggling with these matters but unfortunately your increasing profile as a "progressive" commentator will allow you to prevaricate no longer. Your position demands you make choices, and clearly state your choices, nomatter how difficult for you and your kin.
I do not care that you believe ancient texts are the word of a god. I do care if you take such things seriously enough to harbour prejudice against other people.
Mr J Martin, London
one day when you all wake up from your slumber of hatred you will relise hating catholics because of a few bad apples in the midst is the wayv forward,but great to see the left for what they are,dirty, bigoted, fascists.
It may hlpone to vent one's feelings to write in this column but I doubt if the gentleman in question has read and taken any notice of everyone's comments
So is it worthwhile writing except to exercise one' wrists - a rather Onanistic exercise in the circumstances
Another essay writer and something to make me yawn. Some people just do not get it after the last ten years we have been through. Some are trying to dig us deeper in self-destruction, and some albeit in lateral thinking are trying to sort it.
But some speil the base level of every day, just for today. Big bluddy yawns. Song,
I found Medhi Hasan's comments on Question time on the whole interesting and thought provoking, until his remark about there being 'Tens of Thousands of Paedophile Catholic Priests.'
This is really an outrageous statement in view of the facts, that in the UK there are likely to be no more than 5,000 priests, in total, and that research has shown only 0.4% have been accused of offences against children, not all of whom have been convicted. Even those 20 or so offenders is necessarily far too many.
One would expect a serious journalist who should be familiar with the social sciences and the nature of statistics, to provide the most substantial evidence before making such a claim.
One of the reasons for the Holy Father's visit was to apologize most sincerely to the citizens of the UK for the serious sins committed against children by an incredibly small minority of Catholic priests,
and for that apology to have been graciously accepted.
Is Medhi Hasan so holy that he can cast not just a stone against the catholic priesthood but the whole of the Himalayas?
This kind of irrational outburst does not serve the truth. Neither does it build bridges of hope between sincere people of faith and sincere non-believers. Rather it would entrench already hardened ill informed attitudes.
It was an extremely inflammatory remark to have made and not one worthy of a morally sound and fair-minded journalist.
David Dimbleby also failed gravely in his duty as Chairperson in not reprimanding Hasan for this breach of the etique of debate.
For his and everyone else's information, 'this not the kind of
behaviour one would expect from an educated English Gentleman.'
I note you don't deny that you are a child-abuse condoning catholic.
You`re arrogant and up your own backside; you perform like so many better men before you - Bernard Levin being the acme, but you lack the charm. Your attack on the Pope was reprehensible. How do we know that child abuse isn`t rife in islam - all those long, roomy "frocks" imams wear (lots of scope for gropes, fumbles and more), and the authoritarian rule. You wouldn`t, of course, know because muslims are so scared of their own religious leaders. Islam is religion by tyranny. At least Roman Catholics now have a voice.
As for your jibes about Cameron, wealth and co, you sound like you have benefited from privilege too. Hypocrite!
I note you don't deny you're a wife-beating paedophile. That doesn't mean I think you /are/ a wife-beating paedophile. I just note that you don't deny it.
." How is it that eight-year-old Antonio Clegg has a greater grasp of economic theory, and of the lessons of economic history, than you, Clegg or Danny Alexander?
What an entertaining Question Time!!!
Marvellous performance by Mehdi and Ian Hislop!
To be honest, I feel that Vince Cable got a bit of hard time.
Somehow Idon't think he will answer these questions. Vince Cable sold out his principles for power. Plain and simple!
Excellent Mehdi! Great performance on QT.
Mehdi you gave a virtuoso performance at Question Time today. Searing and insightful: We're not worthy, we're not worthy :)
You asked questions that needed to be asked, you did it well and yes you are well informed, but I agree with a few of the others that are critical of your approach -it needs to be a bit more mature!
Fine performance Mehdi. On the timing of VC's conversion to deficit hawk, LFF did a good piece this week on Clegg's conversion (which includes a link showing that there was not a sudden "firestorm" from Greece; it had in fact been rumbling along for some time). http://www.leftfootforward.org/2010/09/cleggs-justification-for-deficit-...
Quizzed on the same matter this week by Andrew Neil, Huhne used the same argument. He referred to a Bloomberg table (which I have yet to find)showing there was a spike in interest rates during the days of coalition negotiations. Keep up the good work.
You made brilliant points Mehdi-your incisive analysis, facts, humour and empathy was well appreciated by the audience. John Redmond was taken aback being put on spot about bankers while he was waxing lyrical about the private sector's strategic decision-making and Ian Hislop's cynicism and self-satisfied guffaws were well exposed. The Liverpool audience were not duped by the opportunist switch by Cable. Pity your points and dates of Vince's sudden conversion could not have been aired as well. Look forward to future appearances.
You did well last night Mehdi, but need to let others finish - they can damn themselves on their own. Hislop looked particularly grumpy - i hope you gave him a hug...
Cable is caught in a bind, and I dont see his experience of this coalition being a happy one...
Congratulations Mehdi, I thought your performance last night was considerably improved on last time. A balance of relevant and succinct answers delivered with passion and a dash of humour. Dare I suggest including a little self-deprecation next time?!
Top performance and top trender. Top job Mehdi.
Ps My feelings towards St. Vince have shifted from genuine contempt to feeling quite sorry for the chap. Please don't beat up on him too hard!
if they do invite the far left medhi hassan on question time again i hope he issues an apology to all catholics in the uk who he insulted with his racist and bigoted comments he made about that religion, but i guess the bbc kinda like the nutty muslim on with extreme views and his eyes popping out of there sockets and medhi hassan certainly fits that profile,i would of prefered maajid nawaz from the quilliam foundation on question time because at least he knows what he is talking about and is a good role model for muslims,that i cant say for medhi hassan.
Robert wrote, "Any respect I had for Mehdi and his opinions disappeared with his cheap jibe about Vince Cable joining the BNP."
I've just watched QT on the iPlayer.
Mehdi Hasan said nothing whatsoever about the BNP.
A bloke in the audience did rant a bit about Vincent Cable once having been a Labour Party member and suggest he might join the BNP in the future.
Will you apologise for your false allegation, Robert?
Mehdi, we need more like you to shine a harsh light on the flip flopping Lib Dems and their questionable coalition.
You were immense on QT last night.
Vince Cable is the worst kind of opportunist. He doffs his cap to Cameron and Osborne while at the same time doing his best to make the right kind of noises to be seen as some kind of leveraging force on the left of the coalition; he is no such thing - he's a weak man too afraid to be true to his original principles.
He's gone from the Voice of Sanity to His Master's Voice.
Vince seems to get an immensely hard time for what I see as no reason whatsoever. Of course there are contradictions with a few of his views, but the only way Cable can really motivate any real change is through being in Government.
You can't expect a member of a coalition government to be outspoken against the cuts when the winning party marketed themselves on cutting the deficit.
I actually think, had Vince stepped back and refused to be a part of this coalition, the Lib Dems would have been beaten and bruised and the coalition destroyed before it had even began. Also, had the Lib Dems decided on a "progressive" coalition with Labour and other parties to secure a majority, that coalition would have been much more unstable as this present one.
Although Vince is a politician and should be called to account on his contradictions, Mehdi showed himself to be nothing other than a horrid, arrogant bully. This "open letter" to Vince also expresses an element of cowardice as, why would Mehdi not ask these questions on the panel as the 60 minutes would have presented plenty of time to do just that.
Well done Mehdi, Vince deserves all he gets.
I thought you were a little too keen to please the crowd. Also you all ganged up on poor Vince Cable. It felt like bullying at school
According to Ladbrokes you're 100-1 to be next leader of the Labour party. Running for Ed's position already. Same odds as Tony Blair? That's got to be insulting to a man of your intellect !
What a confident and eloquent performance both a QT and Sunday Morning. You clearly unsettled both politicians and the chap from christian voice. Keep it up!
The QT audience are members of the ordinary public and is a cross section of society, usually from within the area the programme broadcasts from. The cross section represents all three main political parties plus the others and there are some no political affiliation members of the public too.
Hope that helps.
The sixty minute programme affords only five questions plus some follow ups. The questions are the five most popular questions submitted by the audience that they want to ask. Mehdi could not follow up on his points because time didn't allow, other panel members have to be seen to be given an equal say, the audience has to be seen to be able to challenge, respond and reply to what they hear and DD has to be seen to be acting fairly with all requirements.
The only 'bully' I saw on the panel was Redwood, berating Mehdi for making a point by saying he was talking over him yet going on to talk over Mehdi at length.
Yes you are right, it was a member of the audience.
@Mr J Martin
Maybe Mehdi was uncomfortable with the limited, and I mean limited, scope for any discussion on that particular programme. Maybe the reason he only made one comment on the homosexuality subject is because he only got one opportunity to answer a particular question and not follow it up or open it out more than the confines of the original question. Reid is hardly a cutting edge journalist asking the most pressing and incisive questions and getting the debate really going. She asks a question and then doesn't hear the reply as she's too distracted reading her notes. She asks single questions and there's rarely a follow up question to the reply that was given because she moves on to the next guest for the next question.
I agree with the comments that the programme should be longer, ninety minutes would be more fitting and would enable for more indepth debate and discussion.
Mehdi, if you were talking to Vince before the programme, why didn't you ask him some of these questions then? Just a thought...
Publishing an 'open letter' (quite the most self-fellating way of making all the points you weren't skilled enough to make last night) just continues to cement your place in my mind as the sixth-form bully, desperate to carve out a TV niche for themselves as an attack dog who barks out selective quotations made by your opponent, often out of context, and then shouts them down whilst they try and answer.
I'm amazed you manage to drag yourself away from the mirror in the morning in order to get into work.
Yeh - well done the man. Good to see the obnoxious Redwood getting riled.....
You're pretty good at this QT thing, Mehdi...would love to see you in frontline politics.
No point being shy and letting Tory bullies walk all over you, doing the "talking bollocks with an authoritative voice" thing.
CF looked out of her depth.
Overall a crap show though, last night....the show is not what it was.

Dental veneers in Birmingham
Veneers are used to restore discoloured, misshapen, worn or chipped teeth. They can also be used to close small gaps (diastimas), when orthodontic braces are not suitable. A veneer is a wafer-thin shell of porcelain bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Very little preparation of the tooth is needed.
White fillings in Birmingham
Dental decay occurs as the result of acid attack, which erodes the enamel and dentine of a tooth creating a cavity. If this decay is not too advanced, ABC's cosmetic dentists can restore the tooth with a white (tooth coloured) filling. They can also replace your old silver (amalgam) fillings.
Teeth whitening in Birmingham
The Zoom! Chairside Whitening System from the USA is a scientifically advanced tooth whitening treatment. Effective, safe and extremely fast, your teeth will become dramatically whiter in about one hour. Using a special light and a whitening gel, the Zoom treatment gently penetrates your teeth to destroy stains and discolouration.
Dental implants in Birmingham
At ABC Dentistry they offer both staged and same-day implants, depending on your needs. Dental implants are provided to permanently replace missing teeth. Essentially a substitute for a natural tooth root, they are titanium posts that are secured to your jaw bone.

You can find details of fees for treatments on ABC's website.

Great area for golf with plenty of elevation, difficult shots, and awesome views. Very unique pin placements on some holes and some tricky OB on some holes. The wind can also add an additional elements especially on 27. Definitely bring plenty of water and snacks as it's a long course with no amenities once you start. Very fun and I highly recommend it.

Such a fun course. We had short-medium set up when we played and still had a ton of fun. So many different positions could make this a completely different course every time. I want to play with everything in super long positions it would be a very big challenge. Bring all your shots for this course for sure. Hole 3 is up there with my favorite holes in disc golf
+0 votes Du La › January 20, 2013
Great course! Can play very long and the wind can be a factor. There's a really nice mix of shots, doggie rights & lefts, short pokes, a lot of opportunity for the big guns to let loose, nicely protected pin locations. The signage is nice and the trail is easy to follow. The maintenance is fantastic. Lots of seating at the tees. Adequate trash & recycling receptacles. There's a lot of native grass and when it sets seed and dries some lightweight gaters will do a player good. Check for ticks in t ...

The upper tier of the Southern Professional Hockey League standings is packed like a can of sardines, with the top five teams separated by a scant four points.
For a few days, at least, the Fayetteville FireAntz will enjoy being back atop the heap. That was assured by Tuesday night's 2-1 victory over Augusta at the Crown Coliseum.
And even with 20 games remaining in the regular season, the FireAntz are aware they're in a fight and need to put together a string of wins to offset a month-long roller coaster ride.
"Every night, from January on, is like a playoff game," said Josh McQuade, who delivered the game-winning goal in the second period. "Wins are huge right now. Two points, a point - it all means a lot."
Tuesday's win against the last-place RiverHawks (11-22-3, 25 points) didn't come easily.
The FireAntz (21-12-3, 45 points) had a difficult time creating scoring opportunities in the first period, failing to even put a shot on net at Robert Moss in the opening six-plus minutes.
But at 15:37, Kyle McNeil broke the ice, taking a feed from McQuade and burying it for a 1-0 lead. It was McNeil's sixth goal of the season, which is one more than he scored last year as a rookie.
"Pretty much all year, it's go to the net and McQuade's going to find me," McNeil said. "The guy's offensively gifted - we all know that - and it's nice to play with him and get those easy tap-in goals. I'll take them."
Augusta answered at 6:53 of the second when Matt Auffrey found the net behind Fayetteville goalie Marco Emond.
That's when coach Mark DeSantis sent his first line - McQuade, McNeil and Bobby Reed - back out for another shift after they'd barely had time to catch their breath. It was a tactic that paid off.
"Bobby chipped the puck off the glass and their defense was confused; didn't know where the puck was," McQuade said. "I split the D, and (Moss) slid to his left and I took the 5-hole.
"Coach looked to our line - we've been producing - because we needed a goal, and we got one to kill their momentum."
The goal was McQuade's SPHL-best 30th of the season, and added to his league scoring lead at 50 points.
The FireAntz finish their schedule for the week with a road game at Knoxville on Thursday, followed by a return engagement with the Ice Bears here Friday. Louisiana trails the FireAntz by one point, Pensacola is two back, and Knoxville and Columbus share fourth, four points off the lead.
"We've got to take it one game at a time," DeSantis said. "We're four up on Knoxville. If we beat them Thursday, we're six up; Friday, eight up. Those are huge games."
It's been over a month since the FireAntz won consecutive games, and that's something they would like to correct, McNeil said.
"You have to bring it every night," he said. "We're happy to be back in first because now we can push the pace, and hopefully get on a roll and get going."

[Editor's note: Unlike Nate & Rosko, I have yet so see The Avengers. As such, in an effort to avoid ginormous spoilers, they've used the codename "Swayze" to refer to major plot point without actually giving it away. Beyond that, I would hardly call anything in this Quibble an actual spoiler, but they have highlighted a couple of points where they feel some might complain.]
As we wrap up our Earth's Mightiest Decade series, Rosko and I finally sit down to discuss what we see as ten years worth of work. Is The Avengers truly the culmination of everything that has come before it? In the film, Nick Fury finally gathers earth's mightiest heroes together to form the Avengers and fight Loki's army. Is it the apex of an era or the next stage in the evolution of comic book adaptation? Rosko and I will try to breakdown the future of Joss Whedon, Walt Disney Pictures, and the ending that will have every geek talking for the next two years Continue reading
