Ryan Babel Knows What Time It Is Because He Just Bought A Watch
He also eats chicken cause that's how Surinamers do. With rhymes like those, it's no wonder Liverpool's Ryan Babel is in the fat Spanish waiter's doghouse. He can't get a start and if he wants to know why, he might start with his rapping.
He's not mumbling. He's rapping in Dutch. Here's your translation:
Rapping is my hobby
Rappers don't want trouble
I'm the Liverpool star those bitches are loving
I know what time it is – I've just bought a new watch
I'll give you a punchline: eight seconds, you'll be knocked down
Towel in the ring
My family in the V.I.P
No caviar for us, Surinamers eat chicken
Ya'll know nothing: this is the Premier League
Representing the G
You can see this nigga with number 19
Ya'll can fuck off, I fuck with a whole team
Ya'll can talk, but you don't get anything with it
Ya'll can't be like me, my status is too high
If rappers come to close, I have to take space
People watch YouTube to learn my actions
I have those skills, try some tricks
I was a poor nigga
Now I make fucking money
I went from the Euro to the English pound
I put money in my pocket, now I spend money on nothing
I like it this way, I'm sure you like it
If somebody want beef, well come on
I like it with some pepper, homie
I'm sure in my life
Give me the fucking ball, you lose both legs
And now my competition is past
If you hate me because of that, I say you're right
If I was you, I would hate me too
I have the shit homie
I can't even spend all my money
Keep your daughter in sight. or you will be my family
I'll take your daughter and let her make clean
101 Barz – this is the first time but I came hard!
I came alone, I don't have a back-up
I came because I mean it
Check it
We shouldn't come down on him too hard. This isn't nearly as bad as the abortion spewed out by Andy Cole. Nevertheless he should stick to soccer and leave the rapping to experts like Kobe** and Shaq.
**Sweet baby jesus, this is the first time I've seen that Kobe video. That's a Rwanda-level atrocity.

Some how, some way, Our Dear Reader will still try to blame this on President Bush...
... and the buck stops where?
"grossly inadequate""systematic failures of leadership"Has Hillary ever been a figure of leadership?Has Hillary failed before?Is Hillary inadequate?Is Hillary gross?Well there´s a few of yer rhetorical questions for the day...
I´ll bet they are glad to have this whole thing over with and forgotten.
Maybe this is the real reason stepped back. She got wind of this report and knew better than to be nominated and then run through the Senate.
This is the result of tapping a housewife of a president to enter politics.
If you were the one driving this clown car, it might be enough to cause a concussion.
And WHY is Hillary not being judged on this massive failure and why is she still considered a possible candidate in 2016. Also, why is an ex-Marine in a bogus charge still rotting, chained to a bed, in a Mexican jail while police try to extort $ from the parents when one word from she or Obama would free him?
I´m a little surprised they didn´t find a way to hang a little of the responsibility/guilt on petraeus. As for this being a career ender for hillary? Considering the potus had/has failed in EVERYTHING he ever did in private life....for a liberal, this should be a resume enhancer. Especially with the anti-american liberals in power. A few more Americans killed? Great! And obama was re-elected by a majority of citizens in this country who hate the USA.
They can do all the "reviewing" they want, but when is someone (other than a fall guy) going to be punished? These failures would be the downfall of anyone in private business, but politics? Nah. The people will soon forget, as it doesn´t directly effect them.
Concussion time!
Shushhhhh . . . settle down boys and girls, the MSM will perfporm it´s magic and in a few years you will never remember this incident

Craig Buchi, 58, from Murray was riding southbound on 700 East at 8:11 p.m. Sunday, when a minivan made a left hand turn in front of him at 8275 South.
Buchi crashed into the rear passenger side of the van. He was wearing a helmet and bicycle clothing, but he passed away at Alta View Hospital.
Police say the cause of the crash is still under investigation. They say if it is determined that the driver was at fault, charges will be screened through the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office.

Menino says city can do better with snow response
Posted: 02/12/13 at 5:30 pm Updated: 02/12/13 at 5:42 pm
Tags: Boston schools parking ban snow emergency blizzard 2013
BOSTON (WHDH) -- After three days off, Boston schools will be back in session Wednesday morning and a ban on parking ends at 6 p.m.
But despite the positive developments, the mayor's still frustrated with the city's response.
"I was just somewhat frustrated because I demand the best, especially when it comes to public works. That's something the people of Boston depend on, us doing a good job. I think we did a decent job. Can we do a better job? We can," said Mayor Menino.
Many people calling in complaints to the mayor's office, but people we spoke to seemed to understand the challenge.
"It was slow for sure, they didn't get to our house until last night, but I kind of sympathize given how much snow there was," said Charlie Light.
Residents graded public works on their performance.
"B minus," said Dave Silva.
"Knowing that it was coming and the force and it wasn't a surprise, I'd say a C," said Pamela Chase.
Crews are getting Boston schools ready for reopening Wednesday after being closed since Friday. The mayor says it couldn't be helped.
"I wanted to make sure that we had no kid who was playing on one of the snow blanks slide into a vehicle," said Menino.
And while Boston school kids had a nice unexpected vacation, their parents are glad it's over.
"Sad for kids, great for us, back to work of course," said Mike O'Leary.
The mayor said overall the public did a great job cooperating with all the plow crews, but more than 500 residents and businesses were fined for throwing snow back into the streets.

We again had an excellent winter here. We are within walking distance to a big mall and many restaurants which makes it very convenient. We have met a lot of great friends here through the years. We have probably came back to this same motel for the last 6 or 7 years and have always been pleased with our stay.

By Gary D. Robertson The Associated Press
RALEIGH - A North Carolina state senator said Tuesday he wants a more detailed recount in his re-election race after his Republican challenger's narrow lead shrank during a machine recount this week to 21 votes out of more than 87,000 cast.
"Too many people have invested too much time and too much money for me to throw up my hands," said Sen. Stan White, a former Board of Transportation member. His announcement followed a call earlier Tuesday by Republican candidate Bill Cook for White to concede.
In a closely watched congressional contest, meanwhile, the narrow lead of Democratic U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre over Republican David Rouzer showed no dramatic change as a machine recount continued in the 12 southeastern counties that comprise the 7th District.
The State Board of Elections reported late Tuesday that McIntyre's lead had grown by five to 660 votes over Rouzer after three counties completed their machine recounts. The 7th District machine recount wasn't expected to finish until today. More than 336,000 votes were cast in that race.
White, D-Dare, filed his request for a "hand-to-eye" recount after voting machine recounts from eight coastal counties showed him trailing Cook by 21 votes, compared with a 32-vote advantage before Monday's machine recount.
In a machine recount, paper ballots are fed again through optical scan machines to record votes, while totals are re-tabulated on electronic voting machines and checked for mathematical errors. In a hand-to-eye recount, the paper ballots are examined one-by-one by election officials and party activists to determine and record choices.
Cook said the latest tally showed he had won again.
"I see no point in my opponent attempting to continue this race, and I call on him to concede the contest," Cook, an outgoing state House member from Beaufort County, said in a statement earlier Tuesday. Cook actually trailed after election night but overtook White during the Nov. 16 county canvass.
White, who was appointed in early 2011 to fill the seat of retiring Senate leader Marc Basnight, said in an interview that he received 20 calls from supporters Tuesday asking him what else he could do. So he decided to seek the fuller recount, he said.
Gary Bartlett, executive director of the State Board of Elections, said the board would meet by phone this week to determine whether to require a hand-to-eye recount in a small sample of precincts in the Senate district or in the entire district.
Performing a sample hand-to-eye recount is designed to project mathematically whether the winner could flip if all the votes were recounted by hand. Bartlett said the Senate race is so close a complete recount may be preferable. Bartlett said county election officials also would have to review about 20 provisional ballots in the 1st Senate District that may not have been legally cast because there's conflicting information over where they live.
Republicans will hold 32 of the Senate's 50 seats come January. A Cook victory would make it 33.
Another recount completed Monday showed Amanda Stevenson maintaining a roughly 300-vote lead over District Court Judge Quon Bridges. The judgeship covers Franklin, Granville and Vance counties. Bridges hadn't requested a hand-to-eye recount as of late Tuesday afternoon, according to Bartlett.
White's request came on the same day that the state elections board met in person in Raleigh to certify the winners in other federal and state races that don't require recounts. Certified winners in North Carolina included Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who edged President Obama in the state by about 2 percentage points, and Republican Pat McCrory, who defeated Democrat Walter Dalton for governor by 11 percentage points.

How strange would this be to see on Sunday?
How strange would this be to see on Sunday?
i wouldn't care, let them overpay
Oh please let this happen!
We play them, so we'll run to smith's side and throw deep to Davis' side.
Pro football is like nuclear warfare. There are no winners, only survivors.
--Frank Gifford
I'm going to call it now. If we let Sean Smith walk, it's going to bite us in the ass. We simply don't have the resources to replace 2 starting WRs, starting TE, starting LT/RT, 2 starting CBs, and whatever else everyone wants to let walk because how dare they not play for the vet minimum. Smith is a competant CB who has had success against high-end WRs in this league. You don't replace that so easily...
For the right price why not. Davis is by far the superior cb overall throughout his career though. Seems stupid to overpay for any team.
When Death Smiles Upon You the Infantryman smiles back
We need to move forward, Smith time is done in MIA.
"And 2nd year Quarterback Ryan Tannehill broke Norm Van Brocklin's single season passing game, becoming the first qb to ever eclipse 600 yards passing in one game"

Characters Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Characters, Revised Third Edition)
Don Pedro
Don Pedro (PEH-droh), the prince of Aragon. A victorious leader, he has respect and affection for his follower Claudio, for whom he asks the hand of Hero. Deceived like Claudio into thinking Hero false, he angrily shares in the painful repudiation of her at the altar. On learning of her innocence, he is deeply penitent.
Don John
Don John, the bastard brother of Don Pedro. A malcontent and a defeated rebel, he broods on possible revenge and decides to strike Don Pedro through his favorite, Claudio. He arranges to have Don Pedro and Claudio witness what they think is a love scene between Hero and Borachio. When his evil plot is exposed, he shows his guilt by flight. He is a rather ineffectual villain, though his plot almost has tragic consequences.
Claudio (KLOH-dee-oh), a young lord of Florence. A conventional hero of the sort no longer appealing to theater audiences, he behaves in an unforgivable manner to Hero when he thinks she is faithless; however, she—and apparently the Elizabethan audience—forgives him. He is properly repentant when he learns of her innocence, and he is rewarded by being allowed to marry her.

Character Analysis
Beatrice (Character Analysis)
Beatrice is the play's witty heroine. Much of her memorable character is original with Shakespeare rather than found in plot sources. She is mainly noted for her firm opposition to marriage and for her verbal dueling with Benedick. Her first comment is a question directed to the messenger about Benedick's welfare. Her asking a series of questions about him reveals an interest which she herself may be unaware of. Also, once Benedick and the other soldiers arrive, Beatrice makes a comment at the end of their first exchange of wit warfare that indicates that perhaps they knew each other before in some romantic way. Benedick's own comment about her appearance suggests that she would be considered very attractive were she not so sharp-tongued. Beatrice's good spirits are commented on by her uncle, who says that she is "never sad but when she sleeps" (II.i.343). He quotes Hero as saying that when she has had a dream of unhappiness, she "waked herself with laughing" (II.i.345-46).
Indeed, her comments at Leonato's party radiate out in many directions. She gives a negative review of Don John's sour looks and personality. She laughs about bearded and beardless husbands. Beatrice dances with Benedick, recognizing him beneath his mask, and ridicules his wit and personality, commenting that "he is the prince's jester: a very dull fool" (II.i.137-38). She is also aware of practicality and social niceties of behavior, as is shown in her prompting of Claudio to be other...

Benedick (Character Analysis)
Benedick is a soldier returning from war. He is from Padua, a city in northern Italy and part of the Republic of Venice during the Italian Renaissance. He is the main male character in the play, even though his marriage is not the initial focus of the plot. Throughout the play, he displays his quick wit, loyalty, honorable nature, and his periodic lack of self-knowledge.
When the audience first hears a reference to Benedick, it is via Beatrice's scornfully posed question intended to conceal her interest: "I pray you, is Signior Mountanto returned from the wars or no?" (I.i.30-31). Beatrice does not even say his name, perhaps for fear of giving away too much to a messenger about her interest in Benedick. Yet even this nickname, taken from fencing, suggests something about Benedick—that he is skilled with a sword. Indeed, the messenger says Benedick "hath done good service, lady, in these wars" (I.i.48-49).
When the entire party of returning soldiers arrives at Leonato's and dismounts, Beatrice and Benedick immediately single each other out for an exchange of witty barbs. Just as Beatrice has a name for Benedick ("Signior Mountanto" [I.i.30]), so he has one for her ("Lady Disdain" [I.i.118]) and another later ("Lady Tongue" [II.i.275]). Benedick seems to get the best of Beatrice, which leads her to say that she knows him from before and that he always ends with a trick. This and other comments suggest a prior knowledge and perhaps even a...

Claudio (Character Analysis)
Claudio is a young soldier returning from war. He is originally from Florence, a city in northern Italy noted for culture during the Italian Renaissance. His mind has been dominated by thoughts of war. After his return, however, his thoughts have turned in a new direction. He is smitten immediately by Hero, Leonato's daughter. Her looks and gentle behavior have won him over very quickly, almost prior to any conversation or acquaintance with her. He is a conventional lover and, as most critics agree, without much depth or complexity in his character.
Despite his apparent lack of complexity, Claudio demonstrates his capacity for friendship in that he is well-liked by Benedick, the central male character in the play. Also, he is capable of reciprocating friendship. He enters into the scheme originated by Don Pedro to help convince Benedick that Beatrice is in love with him. This helpful plot allows Benedick to realize, express, and act on his feelings. Claudio even displays a sense of humor and love of play in this scene.
Claudio proves himself to be a somewhat jealous and gullible man. When Don Pedro woos Hero on behalf of Claudio, the latter readily believes Don John's deceitful claim that Don Pedro is wooing Hero for himself. More seriously, Claudio falls for the window trick in which Borachio and Margaret, whom Borachio calls "Hero" in this scene, have an "amiable encounter" (III.iii.151-52).
Claudio's capacity for anger and...

Dogberry (Character Analysis)
Dogberry is the constable of Messina. This title is a British usage and refers to a police officer or official in charge of keeping the peace. This part was originally written for a famous comic actor in Shakespeare's day, Will Kemp. Kemp's name appears before Dogberry's spoken parts in the Quarto edition printed in 1600. This is one piece of evidence used in establishing the date of composition of this play, because Will Kemp left the Lord Chamberlain's men in 1599.
Dogberry's name refers to an ordinary hedgerow bush or shrubbery, and is perhaps suggestive of the constable's intelligence level. Dogberry's notable characteristics include his flagrant misuse of language, his pride in who he is and his official position in town, his reckless disregard for actually doing his job according to a reasonable standard of performance, and his overly literal insistence on setting the record straight about being called an ass by Conrade.
Examples of Dogberry's misuse of language abound in scenes in which he appears. He inquires of the watchmen who among them is "the most desartless man to be constable" (III.iii.9-10). By "desartless" he means deserving. When George Seacoal is identified as the proper man, Dogberry interrupts Seacoal in midsentence, as befitting a higher authority figure addressing a lower, and gives him a lantern as a symbol of authority. His charge, or set of directions to the watch, show the ineptitude of his peace-keeping mission. He...

Hero (Character Analysis)
Hero, depicted as a virtuous and mild young woman, proves to be loving, affectionate, and dutiful to her father, her cousin, and to her fiancé. Claudio describes her as a jewel, and in appearance she is fair, young, short, and dark-haired. She is referred to by other characters in the play as being gentle and modest. Her answer to Don Pedro's attempt to get her to join their conspiracy to trick Beatrice shows her goodness and stands in contrast to Don John's villainy. She says that she "will do any modest office to help [Beatrice] to a good husband" (II.i.375-76). During the trick, she does as much to instruct Beatrice in her deficiencies in being so joking and critical as she does to deceive Beatrice about Benedick.
On the morning of her wedding, Hero has an unexplained sadness but shows an interest in her wedding gown, in the perfumed gloves sent her by Claudio, and in her cousin Beatrice. She reproves Margaret for a mild jest about the wedding night. At her wedding, she blushes at the accusations made against her, asks very brief questions, denies her accuser, and finally faints. At this point, she supposedly dies and is entombed. In accordance with Friar Francis's plan, this ruse will allow the rumors about her to die down and Claudio to grow remorseful. She appears in the final scene, masked until Claudio agrees to marry whoever it is behind the mask. True to her character throughout, her words are mild, but they now have a potential, though...
(The entire section is 481 words.)
Leonato (Character Analysis)
Leonato is the governor of Messina, a city in northeastern Sicily in Italy. He is the father of Hero, a daughter eligible for marriage. He is a genial host who immediately invites the returning soldiers to stay in Messina. He is concerned with making his guests as comfortable as possible and their stay as pleasant as possible. He seeks to provide music for their rest, dinners for their nourishment, and parties for their diversion. He is also an able though not a superb wit who jests in turn with Benedick about Hero's parentage and Beatrice about her marriage prospects. Early in the play he does not seem susceptible to gossip, questioning the source of what soon proves to be an erroneous report his brother delivers him from a conversation overheard by a servant. He is gracious to Claudio as his future son-in-law and tells the impatient youth that a week is needed to prepare adequately for such an event. He shows insight into his niece Beatrice's character, when he says of her that she is not ever really sad, even when asleep. He willingly enters into the scheme to trick Benedick into believing Beatrice is in love with him; though as a basically honest man, he is at first a little slow in inventing proofs of Beatrice's affection for Benedick for the sake of the eavesdropping Benedick. However, once he fully enters into the jest, his made-up evidence is exaggerated and absurdly funny. Though his patience can be tried, he is ever courteous, accustomed as he is to his...
(The entire section is 569 words.)
Pedro (Character Analysis)
Don Pedro, a nobleman and soldier, is the Prince of Arragon (Aragon), a region of eastern Spain. He is referred to by Leonato as "your Grace" (I.i.100) and indeed his behavior throughout much of the play is gracious and courtly. When the audience first meets Don John, who is Don Pedro's brother, it hears of Don Pedro's gracious behavior to his rebellious brother.
Don Pedro's actions throughout the play display his power and influence as well as his good humor. He has the power to confer honors for valor on the soldiers in his company and has done so to Claudio just before the beginning of the play. He speaks for his company of men to Leonato. He goes back to call the privately conferring Benedick and Claudio to their duties to Leonato, their host. He also agrees in a separate conversation with Claudio to intervene for him in marriage negotiations with Hero. He says he will disguise himself as Claudio, reveal his affections, and then speak of the matter to Leonato.
Don Pedro announces Claudio's and Hero's successfully negotiated wedding, both to Claudio and to their circle of friends. When he proposes on his own behalf to Beatrice and is rejected, he takes Beatrice's reply in good humor, appreciating her merry nature. He proposes the plot of tricking Benedick, both to pass the time until Claudio's wedding and to challenge Cupid at his own love game. He shows his own playful humor during the gulling scene and also reveals again his own interest...

Other Characters (Descriptions)
Antonio is Leonato's brother. Antonio is described in the Dramatis Personae as an old man. Ursula mentions that he has a dry hand, a feature associated with old age, just as a modern audience would associate wrinkles or liver spots with old age. He is a minor character, but his relationship to Leonato stands as a model of a good fraternal relationship in contrast to that between Don Pedro and Don John.
He is an advisor and confidant to his brother. When a servant tells him of an overheard conversation between Don Pedro and Claudio, he relays the information to Leonato. He is present at Leonato's party and dances with one of Hero's gentlewomen.
At the end of the play, he counsels patience to his brother and a moderating of his grief. Also, like a loyal brother and uncle, he utters defiant words to Don Pedro and Claudio. He challenges Claudio to a duel and calls them both a series of insulting names. In fact, in his turn, he has to be counseled to patience by Leonato. Finally, he is asked to give Hero away at the wedding as his own daughter and does so willingly.
Antonio's Son
He does not have a speaking part. He provides music and perhaps helps in other ways in Leonato's busy household, especially during the soldiers' visit. Leonato addresses him briefly in Act I.
The attendants do not have speaking parts, but various editors mention...

Campers might want to take a tarp, but the long weekend weather bodes well for events in and around the city.
While the outlook calls for a chance of showers Saturday and a risk of thunderstorms in the afternoon, Sunday's forecast is for cloudy and warm.
That means Canada Day festivities should attract 10,000 people or more to the park for the combined celebration of Canada Day (at noon), Folkfest (11 a.m.-6 p.m.) and Art in the Park (9 a.m.-6 p.m.)
On top of those attractions, people can enjoy the third annual Kamloops Idol contest (5-7 p.m.), evening entertainment at the bandshell (7-10 p.m.) and the lumiere parade preceding fireworks at 10:30 p.m.
There's more in store in the region. Sun Peaks Resort begins its summer calendar with a weekend full of fun outdoor activities, including Jo's Road Race, the Mountain of Beer Chili Cook-Off, musical performances and its Sunday Farmers Market.
The road race, in its 10th year, is a festive three-kilometre walk and a five- or 10-km run through the resort today. A children's fun run begins at 9:45 a.m. for early risers.
It's the 20th annual Cowboy Action Shooting event at Palmer's Gulch all through the weekend. Watch the black-powder gang recreating the look, sound and feel of the old West.
There are indoor events as well. Mainstage 2012 is in full swing with award-winning community theatre productions at Sagebrush Theatre and a host of other activities. For details, see tbc.mainstage.ca. The festival continues through the week.
Kamloops Art Gallery, meanwhile, opens its summer exhibitions, Re-story: Works from the Permanent Collection in the main gallery and Emily Hope's The Wild Man Appreciation Society in The Cube. The gallery's summer art camps for children get under way Monday.
Monday's forecast is the brightest of the weekend, calling for clear skies and high of 28C. That's an ideal entry for Music in the Park, which begins two months of free, nightly concerts at the Riverside Park Bandshell. Kamloops own Kate Morgan takes the stage Monday at 7 p.m.
* * *
You stand a better chance of winning the lottery than finding a parking space anywhere near Riverside Park on Canada Day.
Between flooding, which has closed some parking areas, road construction and groups setting up early in the morning, parking will be next to impossible to find near the park on July 1.
The City is offering free bus service for the day, along with a shuttle that will take passengers from the Lansdowne transit exchange to the park in a regular circuit.
Flood control measures mean the beach will be off limits and that will make some areas more crowded than usual. Art in the Park booths are being moved over toward the Interior Savings Centre plaza, as is the Kamloops Idol competition.
One thing that remains the same this year is that fireworks are being launched from the Tk'emlups Indian band property across the river.

The proposal is bornt from an interpretation of the place as the footprint of the industries prior to urbanization. Existing traces define our schedule.
The conceptual idea is based on the density distribution of the program throughout the place, focusing on program bands that alternate density variable green outdoor spaces and covered spaces where the construction program focuses.

The political theater, played out in front of the iconic black door of No. 10 Downing Street, comes as David Cameron's Conservatives -- which won the most seats in Parliament but fell short of a majority -- struggled in their attempts to win over the third-place Liberal Democrats.
Brown's party has been willing to entertain supporting the Liberal Democrats' demand for an overhaul of the voting system toward proportional representation, which would greatly increase that party's future seat tallies. But evening brought a further twist with a counteroffer from the Conservatives -- of a referendum on a less dramatic type of electoral reform.
While uncertainty prevails, to the displeasure of the markets, one thing appears certain: The career of Brown -- the Treasury chief who waited a decade in the wings for his chance to become prime minister -- is winding to an end.
Brown, looking statesmanlike but resigned to political reality, accepted blame for Labour's loss of 91 seats in last week's election and its failure to win a parliamentary majority.
No other party won outright either, resulting in the first "hung Parliament" since 1974 and triggering a frantic scramble between Brown's Labour and the main opposition Conservatives to broker a coalition -- or at least an informal partnership -- with the Liberal Democrats.
"As leader of my party, I must accept that that is a judgment on me," Brown said, offering to step down before the party conference in September.
Brown said Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg had asked to begin formal coalition talks with the Labour Party and said he believed their parties might form a center-left alliance. Clegg had previously suggested Brown's departure would likely be a condition of any deal with Labour.
The Liberal Democrats have seemed genuinely open to a deal with the Conservatives -- who are less ideologically compatible with them than they are with Labour -- largely out of a sense that Cameron won a moral mandate and supporting him was expected by the nation at a time of economic turmoil.
But Brown's statement appeared to give Clegg's party a viable alternative, and real temptation: join a possibly short-lived alliance, remove the unpopular Brown, and pass electoral reform that could transform their fortunes and even banish the Conservatives to the political wilderness.
The day's drama disappointed those hoping for a swift resolution and deepened the post-election limbo that many feared could further undermine confidence in Europe's financial markets. The pound fell nearly 1.5 cents against the dollar after Brown's statement on his future, trading at $1.4866 late Monday.
Belying morning optimism and buoyant statements by party spokesmen, the Liberal Democrats announced by afternoon that they hadn't yet reached an agreement with the Conservatives on education funding, fair taxation and electoral reform. Then came Brown's offer.
Clegg said the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives had "some very constructive talks ... and made a great deal of progress. But we haven't yet reached a comprehensive partnership agreement."
The Conservatives said their final offer on electoral reform was for a referendum on the "alternative vote" electoral system, under which voters rank candidates by preference and second-choice votes are allocated if no candidate wins 50 percent of the first preference votes. The result could give Clegg's party more seats -- but it would not constitute the revolution that proportional representation would.
Under proportional representation -- widely used in continental Europe -- the Liberal Democrats, with almost a quarter of the vote, would have that proportion of parliament seats. Under Britain's current system they won only 57 out of 650, or just 9 percent of the seats.
Cameron's center-right Conservatives won 306 seats and Labour 258. Smaller parties took the rest.
William Hague, a senior Conservative lawmaker and Cameron's de facto deputy, said that given that breakdown it appeared unlikely that the Conservatives could form a minority government on their own -- a scenario that is allowed but would not survive a no-confidence vote.
He also said voters would not want to see a second un-elected leader. Brown was handed the reins from former Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Hague said the Conservatives had offered the Liberal Democrats a full coalition, with Cabinet positions for members of Clegg's team and a pledge not to hold a new national election for at least two and a half years.
Though the Conservatives have offered to hold and support a House of Commons vote on holding a public referendum on changing Britain's electoral system, Hague confirmed that his party would campaign to persuade the public to oppose any reforms.
Cameron and Clegg spoke Monday afternoon, but no further meetings of their negotiating times are planned at this stage, Hague said.
A Labour-Liberal Democrat alliance would still have to draw on the support of smaller, marginal parties -- including nationalist parties Scotland and Wales and the Democratic Unionist Party in Northern Ireland.
But that possibility left some Labourites uncomfortable. Former Home Office Secretary John Reid said such a pact "would be mutually assured destruction."
"If we appear to be snubbing the electorate, and get a coalition of second and third parties and some parties from Scotland and Northern Ireland, I think we will rue the day," Reid told Sky News.
He said that while such a deal might keep Labour in power a little while longer, it ran the risk of alienating even more voters from the party.
"I think in politics you can win the minutes and lose the hours," he said.
Brown said he hoped a new Labour leader would be appointed at the party's annual convention in September. Foreign Secretary David Miliband and Education Secretary Ed Balls will likely be leading contenders to succeed Brown as party leader.
Britain has a record 153 billion-pound ($236 billion) deficit that many believe the Conservatives would tackle more decisively than Labour.
Liberal Democrat spokesman Simon Hughes said a deal was unlikely within 24 hours but predicted "a government by the end of the week."
Brown's announcement signals an end to a political career marked by great promise, considerable achievement and ultimate disappointment.
Brown, 59, spent a decade as Prime Minister Tony Blair's treasury chief, but craved the top job himself and is widely believed to have negotiated a handover years ago. When he finally got it, in June 2007, he quickly found himself confronting an economic crisis, a divided party, and a parliamentary expenses scandal that fueled public disgust with politicians.
It was also a misfortune for Brown to follow the charismatic Blair. He was brooding and awkward by comparison. A run-in with a voter at the end of the campaign -- he called her "a bigoted woman" not knowing he was being recorded -- seemed to confirm the caricature and plunged his campaign into a tragicomic last-minute crisis.

The rate for San Diego County declined to 7.4 percent from 7.8 percent in July and was the second lowest in Southern California. Here's how the counties compared in August according to the state EDD:
- Orange County– 6.2%
- San Diego County – 7.4%
- Ventura County – 7.8%
- San Bernardino County – 10.0%
- Los Angeles County – 10.2%
- Riverside County – 10.8%
California's unemployment rate in August was 0.2 percentage points higher that the 8.7 percent recorded in July, but still well below the 10.4 percent rate in August a year ago, the state EDD reported.
By comparison, the overall unemployment rate in the United States was 7.3 percent in August, down from 7.4 percent in July and 8.1 percent a year ago.
The Golden State's non-farm payroll jobs increased by 29,100 during August for a total gain of 826,500 jobs since the economic recovery began in February 2010, the state EDD said.
The unemployment rate is derived from a federal survey of 5,500 California households.

Systemic means "affecting the entire body," rather than a single organ or body part.
For example, systemic disorders such as high blood pressure or systemic diseases such as influenza affect the entire body.
An infection that is in the bloodstream is called a systemic infection. An infection that affects only one body part or organ is called a localized infection.

When I babysit, do I have to do everything the parents say? I do not support spanking at all! If the parents ask me to, do I have to spank a child? - Ashanti*
First, congratulate yourself on being so thoughtful. This is a great question, and it shows you're the kind of babysitter lots of parents would love to have: You take your responsibility seriously, use your judgment, and really care!
Most of the time, babysitters need to follow a parent's rules. Rules help kids learn, and it's less confusing for children when rules stay the same no matter who is taking care of them. But spanking isn't a rule, it's a personal value. When it comes to spanking, it's OK to say no. In fact, it's never a good idea for a babysitter to spank a child.
If a child's parents ask you to do something you don't feel is right, be honest. Tell them you're not comfortable. Here are tips on having that conversation:
How do you know when a parent's request is something you need to follow and when it's OK to say "no"? Use your own comfort level as a guide: Let's say parents ask you not to play videogames with their kids. Or maybe they tell you to limit things like TV watching or snacks. Even if you don't agree, you can still follow family rules like these because they don't make you anxious.
But if parents ask you to do something that goes against your beliefs or makes you worry (like watching so many kids you can't supervise them properly), it's a signal to say you're not comfortable with the situation.
It's a good idea for babysitters to talk to parents about expectations before they start sitting for a family. That way they can find out what kinds of disciplinary action the parents believe in ahead of time so there are no surprises.
And if you ever feel uncomfortable with what parents are asking, don't be afraid to turn down the job. Another one will come along.

Cool place to sit outside and enjoy some drinks. Food was okay but took awhile and you order it and pick it up from a window. Use to like the crab races, don't know if they still do that.
Cool place to sit outside and enjoy some drinks. Food was okay but took awhile and you order it and pick it up from a window. Use to like the crab races, don't know if they still do that.
Went here last summer because we were wanting crab legs, which were really good. They were snow crab in a bucket that I'm thinking cost around $15. We were satisfied there with no problem. The big surprise was the huge peel and eat shrimp we ordered, probably 20 or so on a plate and it was around 12 bucks. Good... More
Been there several times and love it every time. Takes a bit to get used to the ordering process. You have to order drinks at the bar and food at a separate food bar. Be ready to order when you get up there because they're busy! Crawfish bites are always good and the crab claws are excellent but they run... More
Okay food, not great, the kids loved feeding the fish. Difficult to find from land, and ordering is difficult with a large group since you have to order drinks at bar and order your food separately at the kitchen window.
Had such fun, my friends and kids love the crab legs and crawln crab cakes,WARNING kids and beach buckets = crack only order one at first. Never been to place before owner was very helpful and could pass for a dude on food network also bought the funniest t- shirts ever.
This year the food is being ran on weekends got my food in 21 minutes and it was fantastic and love the band venue,also website,nice update
If you are looking for a place that makes you feel like you are at the lake (or at the beach), this is it. Great decor, nice atmosphere and loud music BUT...that's about all you will get. Food is so-so...and you have to get it yourself...and wait, and wait and wait for it. And it's eh...Drinks are pricey but if... More
I moved to the lake a few weeks ago, love it ! Out with friends trying out new places. This place is hard to find. Parking is limited at best. I ordered a Philly Cheese. The tea was instant, yuck. After a long wait, and they were not busy, we went to the kitchen and got our food. Nothing special,... More
Been coming to docknockers for years now for so many reasons.The food is amazing the staff they have great humor and service. It's unlike any other restaurant in the lake area if you want to have great food/time. They have an awesome deck area that views the lake. It's a little hard to find the restaurant the first time but... More
Good food, however, you have to serve yourself both for food and drink. You order at a counter in the kitchen which is the hottest place you will ever stand in line to order food. Other than that it's a good place to set and enjoy the lake.

Thanks for rating this design!
A simple but effective site for a small digital studio that makes a strong impact with its attention grabbing slider.
I really like the clean and intuitive layout and the comprehensive footer. You can find any information you need in a couple of short seconds.

Reality check required folks. I don't know who else to ask.
I need to migrate a fairly large site from IIS6 to IIS7.5. A thousand pages, 500 MB total, about 10 million (non unique) hits per week. Mostly static content. Some ASP.NET/SQL backend stuff. Pretty simple, yea? It would be simple, if not for the search functionality.
Search was an archaic payware on IIS6 box. It doesn't work under IIS 7.5. So I asked the web devs to redo the search functionality. They came up with this and tested on the dev box: they installed SharePoint Foundation and SQL Express, locally on the IIS 7.5 box, and used the SharePoint search to index the site and to offer a search box on the (non-sharepoint) Web site for our Web visitors.
That's right. Sharepoint and SQL engine on our world-facing IIS box just to index a Web site hosted on the same box.
That doesn't seem right to me. I'm stuck in a bad position. I don't like that solution. I'm no developer so I don't know a better solution to suggest.
What about using Google results in a frame?
Hmmm. I can look into that. I'm afraid it will look hokey though. This is a fairly significant site. Visitors (and the management!) expect it to look professional. I'd definitely prefer an in-house solution.
Can native Windows Search index be used for this. The old indexing service in 2003/IIS6 was useable as a search engine on an IIS hosted site. The search box on this site is integrated in the top right corner of every page. |
Try the search at the company I used to work for. It's using Google for the heavy lifting: http://www.uti.edu
Google custom search: http://www.google.com/cse/ |
Dilbert wrote: Can native Windows Search index be used for this. The old indexing service in 2003/IIS6 was useable as a search engine on an IIS hosted site. It can, but it will take a fair bit of custom code; AFAIK IIS doesn't have any ready-to-go plugins for it. And just so you know, the documentation is pretty sketchy, or was ~3 years ago when I was looking at something similar. I suspect your best route is to use Google custom search, as others have said. If the iframe is a deal breaker, a half-decent web dev can do it without any kind of iframe or anything, just pure AJAX (or hell, submit the search to your server and have it submit a web request to Google, although that's a fair bit slower, and depending on your server load might be a bad idea). |
Have you looked at integrating Search Server Express?
Oooooh that's a good idea. I've kicked that over to the devs and The Boss. Let's see what they think. Thanks!
If you need a "heavy" search engine, look into Fast for internet sites.
Wait, you said it's stored in SQL but you're complaining about adding SQL? What actual SQL products are you using? I haven't done it, but apparently you can get SphinxSearch's SphinxQL to work with ODBC to talk to any SQL server (regular Sphinx only does MySQL and PgSQL). It's worked out well for us on some internal (linux) sites. I have to believe it's better than Sharepoint
ronelson wrote: Wait, you said it's stored in SQL but you're complaining about adding SQL? What actual SQL products are you using? His complaint is that the developers want SQL Server Express installed on the same public-facing box as IIS is running, instead of safely located on an internal network.
