By Catherine Pritchard Staff writer
Seven-year-old Kensley Strickland is thrilled that she gets to be a model in this weekend's American Girl fashion show.
Her mother's happy, too, but for a different reason.
"This is going for a great cause," said Robbie Strickland.
The fashion show, staged four times Saturday and Sunday in the Crown Center Ballroom, will benefit the Child Advocacy Center. The nonprofit organization provides a safe and child-friendly place for law enforcement and local agencies to meet with abused children for interviews, investigations and support.
The center, which served 487 children and their families in its last fiscal year, operates on a shoestring - about $500,000. A big chunk of money comes from the annual fashion show, which last year netted the center nearly $46,000.
The importance of that money - and of the center it goes to support - is communicated to the dozens of girls who model in the shows.
But so is the fun.
At a recent promotion, eight of the 144 Fayetteville-area girls who will be modeling in this year's show gathered to dress up exactly like the American Girl dolls that each one also clutched.
"I just wanted to be a part of it," said Kensley, dressed in a close-fitting white hat and lavender sweater set like the Kit Kittredge doll she carried.
Eight-year-old Shayla Battle, wearing a long blue dress, looked at her doll, Cecile, a character from 1853.
"I like the hair," she said, looking at Cecile's long dark ringlets and touching her own.
Some girls admitted to butterflies of being on stage. But not for 11-year-old Savannah Huguley. Then again, this will be her sixth, and probably last, American Girl fashion show and her third dressing as her favorite American Girl character, Rebecca, who's from 1914.
"I like just having a good time and going out on stage," she said.
Smiling moms abounded at the promotion.
Then there was the dad with the hairbrush in his back pocket, tending to two of the girls - 9-year-old Alaina Johnson, dressed in bell-bottom jeans, a purple knit cap and a dangly fringe belt, just like the circa 1974 Julie Albright doll that she carried, and 5-year-old Kaitlyn Johnson, wearing a white knit dress and cap, just like the Bitty Baby that she held.
Joey Johnson arranged their hair, adjusted their clothes and watched them smile for a photographer.
"If it's got to be done, it's got to be done," he said with a laugh.
Joey Johnson said Alaina has participated in pageants and done a bit of modeling. Kaitlyn takes dance classes. They're used to appearing in front of people, and they enjoy it.
It's that much better, he said, that the fashion show is for a good cause.
"It's important to give back," he said.
When: Saturday, March 23 at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.; Sunday, March 24 at 1 and 5 p.m.
Where: Crown Center Ballroom
Tickets: $35 to $60 through ticketmaster.com or the Crown Center box office at 1960 Coliseum Drive.

The Bachelor Episode #1402 watch
Your flight attendant's here. watch
Tonight I'm going to meet 25 amazing women. watch
This week, as Toronto mayor Rob Ford continued to careen off the rails, everyone pondered how great it would be if Chris Farley were still alive to mimic Ford on Saturday Night Live. Wes Anderson and Jason Schwartzman teamed up to create a new short film for Prada, while screenwriter Evan Daugherty (Snow White and the Huntsman) put a dark spin on Super Mario Brothers. Also, Jimmy Fallon hosted a game of celebrity charades, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson and George Takei created a gay version of The Bachelor. Check out those clips and more in our weekly roundup of the best online videos:
ABC announced its midseason premiere dates Tuesday, including for new series The Assets, Killer Women, Mind Games and Mixology, and a return date for Suburgatory. The network will also shift Revenge to the Sundays-at-10 slot starting March 9 to make room for freshman drama Resurrection.
Dancing with the Stars champion Melissa Rycroft is pregnant with her second child.
The reality star shared the good news on Tuesday's Good Morning America, saying "the dancing family is growing. We have a little bundle growing."
Bachelor star AshLee Frazier may not have found love with Sean Lowe, but it seems like another member of the Bachelor Nation has stolen her heart: Frazier is currently dating Bachelorette alum Michael Garofola.
The Bachelor star Sean Lowe and his fiancé Catherine Giudici have set a wedding date. The couple will walk down the aisle on Jan. 26, 2014 and the ceremony will be broadcast live on ABC, People reports.

Can you identify this scenic span?
Since 1916, the Boy with the Leaking Boot sculpture has been the most identifiable landmark in this Aroostook County town ("It's worth a trip to watch it drip!" as the slogan goes). But this 187-foot bridge, built in 2006, is already on its way to icon status. At the very least it's a symbol of the developments happening along the nearly unpronounceable river near the community's historic Market Square. In the past five years, this venerable village has actively spruced up its riverfront, putting in picnic tables, parklands, and a walking path. Plus the bridge, of course. The artful span is decorated with plaques chronicling the history of the well-known burg. The artist had a lot to draw on, from the town's founding in 1807, to its selection as the army's first transatlantic Radio Intelligence Station during World War I, to its service as a POW camp in WWII, to the birth of peace proponent Samantha Smith, and Ultimate Fighter 2 contestant Marcus "the Irish Hand Grenade" Davis.

Pathfinder #13—Second Darkness Chapter 1: "Shadow in the Sky" (OGL)
Chapter 1: "Shadow in the Sky" The elves of the Mierani Forest have been hiding something from outside eyes for hundreds of years, but now, this sinister secret has escaped. What at first seems to be a sudden uprising in unsanctioned banditry in the Riddleport hinterlands is in fact something altogether more menacing—the dark elves have come to Varisia. Yet the threat presented by the drow from below may be nothing compared to a new threat from the skies above. Can a new group of heroes save the world from the Second Darkness? This volume of Pathfinder kicks off the third Pathfinder Adventure Path campaign—Second Darkness—and presents a detailed gazetteer of the intrigue-filled streets of Riddleport, details the Gold Goblin Gaming Hall and several of Riddleport's most popular games of chance, and presents a half dozen new monsters native to the Riddleport region. It also contains a bonus adventure that presents a typical Riddleport thieves' guild. For characters of 1st to 3rd level. Pathfinder is Paizo Publishing's 96-page, perfect-bound, full-color softcover Adventure Path book printed on high-quality paper that releases in a monthly volume. Each volume is brought to you by the same staff which brought you Dragon and Dungeon magazines for over five years. It contains an in-depth Adventure Path scenario, stats for about a half-dozen new monsters, and several support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Because Pathfinder uses the Open Game License, it is 100% compatible with the world's most popular fantasy roleplaying game. ISBN–13: 978-1-60125-115-2 Note: This product is part of the Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscription.

Maximum Storage Capacity Levels Likely to be Tested
Verona 5/01/2012 02:00 AM GMT (TransWorldNews)
Extreme Heat Shrinks Natural Gas Storage Inventory Projections
Current Natural Gas Price Rally Not Viewed as New Trend
Tropical Storm Debby Could Impact July Natural Gas NYMEX Expiration
As of April 20, 2012, natural gas storage inventories were 872 Bcf higher than this time last year. This represents a huge year-over-year storage surplus.
With total U.S. storage capacity estimated at around 4,200 Bcf and 27 weeks remaining in the summer injection cycle, weekly injections need to be just 60 Bcf/day to reach maximum storage capacity. By comparison, the weekly injection pace in 2011 was 76 Bcf/day and the five-year average injection pace is 73 Bcf/day.
"Storage is still very bearish for natural gas prices. Even with a normal 2012-2013 winter season, the year-over-year storage surplus won't likely be worked through until some point in 2013. But, as surplus declines, natural gas prices will begin to strengthen," explained Valerie Wood, President of Energy Solutions, Inc.
As a result, analysts project that as storage refills well in advance of the end of the season on October 31, 2012, the natural gas market will be faced with physical constraints as there will simply be no place to go with natural gas. This will likely cause production shut-ins and a collapse in spot-market prices.
Additional information about natural gas storage inventories, price trends, demand issues, production levels, rig counts, and much more can be found in the Monthly Edition of The Advisor. Take a FREE, no-obligation 60-day trial to The Advisor and receive the most recent Weekly Edition, as well as the Monthly Editions for May and June, which will contain additional insight into bearish, bullish and neutral factors that affect pricing within the Natural Gas Industry.

My New Photography Website:
thanks michalis, so glad you like it... yes, i know about "the need some love", but is not possible anymore on this model, since it is corrupt as a seem to have made a mistake while using layers (see the question section, if you are interested, i posted the problem, but noone could help). zbrush still lets me change materials and renders the model but i cannot edit it anymore usefully. so, i am glad i was able to produce this..
chalkman, thanks ... oh, yes, there will come more, afterall, portraits are my deep passion. and, i still have a long way to go to reach what i wish
Really cool render like the character a lot!
thanks polaroid :-)
holiday fun, my first time to try fur in zbrush4... modling was dynamesh with tubes inserted for arms and legs and tail, and spheres for hands, feet and ears. then scaled them and made one dynamesh. this was a very quick way to get a rough mesh with the correct proportions... then a little modeling... the most time consuming was to find out what all the fur settings do, to get the look for the two different kinds of fur... all done in zbrush except a little post in photoshop that was just adding a very subtle lensblur...
spent nice time on doing this. it has one basic fur and quite a number of of variations to achieve the look,, and the gras is fur too ..fun :-)
Last edited by kokoro; 12-27-11 at 02:21 AM. Reason: icon did not appear in row
ok, as many, i got bitten by the annoucement of the coming hair feature... so, i tried to use what i learned about doing fur in zbrush, to get the hairdo for this young man (and, i am trying to achieve the hairdo he really has, not something madeup ;-)) ... still very wip, head as well as hair, but i was in the mood to share the early stage...
thanks for sharing. Yes I look forward to the new fibermesh too. Amazing!
Your work looks great, enjoyed looking it over.
eiad, nicsc thank you both :-)
another wonderful hour of playing in zbrush,,,and, then heavily postprocessed in photoshop...
Keep exploring. Look for the next step to expand your creativity!
thanks bas mazur for the thumbs up :-) yes i explore, this time, i am trying to learn how to render in cycles... for that, i needed first learn how to do basic things in blender, like navigation etc... so, now i ran into a problem i cannot solve yet. it seems i do not understand the render settings, as i cannot get rid of the noise in the render. michalis, are you around, and could give me advise ? here is how far i got, i increased the samples, but going up from 100 to 250 did not seem to improve anymore ??
in the moment my focus is to learn to use the cycles render... here is my attempt from tonight, the devil i sculpted earlier in zbrush, rendered with cycles. still not completely like i wanted it to be (i am hoping for suggestions how to improve the quality, as i still feel very clumsy in blender) but i like the mood i achieved with the lightning...
It looks good.
I need more information to help you on the noise issue. Light setup and nodes setup. Are you using emitters? How large? HDRI lighting? In general, if an emitter is close to a white surface it will produce noise but there's some advanced tricks that stop this. If hdri lighting, download the newer build from graphicall. Under the environment panel, check 'sample as lamp'.
Try to avoid a general cubic room around, two three planes are easier and less noisy.
thanks michalis for coming with advice :-) ... generally i tried to follow what you described in your thread. i have however not yet found where i can put on environment light. so, instead, i deleted the default lamp, and put planes, put on emitter. i chose pale colors and different strong.and, different sizes of the planes. i have also a black plane, invisible for camera for shadow. i like that effect. also, i do not know yet where i can make hdri, so i cannot try this in moment. .. i have only made nodes for the texture, i copied basically what you did. so no uv, but from camera project. ... yes, it is not a room, but a floor plane, and a plane behind the bust. both with a material that has a slight bump and solid color. ... sometimes, i have the feeling "buttons are vanishing" in blender, i guess that is a similar noob issue like in zbrush "help i cannot edit my model anymore" ...lol... despite these initial struggles, i really enjoy the control i have over lightning, that i really can look at a scene from different angles to judge where the things are that i placed :-) i am looking forward to dive deeper into this :-)

Don't Touch That Dial

"IT" is coming!
Yes..."IT" is coming! What is "IT"? Can't tell you yet. Watch for "IT" "IT" will be in the 4th of July Parade. Well enough about "IT".
It appears there will be no more delay in the Digital switch on June 12th. This major change in signal transmission has been in the works for 6 years. As our technology is changing ever so quickly in the last 20 years, the major changes are made so that we don't have to throw out so much old technology at one time. High Definition and Digital signals have been around for over 20 years. I was at the Consumer Electronic Show in Chicago in 1988 and saw a high definition demonstration of a a parade in China. It was presented on 2 inch video tape on a machine the size of a Smart Car. At that time they were promising that High Definition Television would be in all homes by the year 1993. This sparked the debate over whose standard of broadcast they would use. In Europe they were operating on 50 cycle current, where as in North America we operate on 60 cycles. Without getting too technical, this means our TV pictures were operating on 30 frames a second and theirs were at 25 frames a second. (Their pictures were better because they were closer to film speed of 24 frames a second.) As you can see the standards set way back in the late 1800's by Thomas Edison have effected each innovation for over a century. So a lot of time and thought have gone into this latest major change. There will be new technology for sure, but the cost to the consumer to upgrade should be minimal and optional. As of Friday June 12th, all of the analog VHF and UHF frequencies will be freed up for use by emergency and enforcement agencies. One thing they forgot was that all of us who have UHF wireless microphones will now operate them illegally. ( Shhh...let's keep that to ourselves ) On the bright side, the digital transmission will offer more channels and much better pictures to all. I have helped several people with their converter boxes and their old clunky dial tuned TV's look new again. Who knows what the future holds for this new technology, I can't wait for the resurgence of "Smell-a-Vision".
Baseball, Fireworks, Parades..it's Summer!
Before I get into the busy week planned, let me remind all that "IT" is coming. As a matter of fact "IT" will be in the Optimist Independence Day Parade on July 3rd in the Falls. What is "IT". Come to the parade to find out.
It will be a busy week for the remote crew. On Thursday night July 2nd we will be at Village Park to tape the Caribbean Eclipse Steel Band at 6:30. On Friday July 3rd we will be taping the Boys Varsity Baseball vs. Germantown game at Trenary Field at 1:00 pm. Plenty of room, so come join us at the game. Later that day we will of course cover the parade on Appleton ave and if all goes well the Fireworks "Live" on Channel 14. Look for all 3 new programs on Channel 14 on the 4th and on our streaming video website Peg Central http://fallscable-wi.pegcentral.com/ .

B A+F Campus Housing: Housing quality really depends on your college.
A A+F Campus Housing: It will greatly depend on which college you get sorted into (residential system), but for the most part the rooms are pretty big. New buildings are VERY nice. Each room has its own thermostat, study lobbies are nice, decent number of kitchens, movie rooms, dining halls are all attached to the dorm buildings.
A+ A+F Campus Housing: The residential college system is the best part about Rice. Different colleges, or dorms, have unique traditions and everyone thinks their college is the best one. They are also run by student governments, which manage a $44,000 budget each year with which they can buy luxuries like volleyball courts.
A A+F Campus Housing: Dorms are either relatively new or well kept. Brown college has worst facilities, and lovett isn't as nice to look at. But McMurtry, Duncan, and Will Rice new dorm are the best.
A+ A+F Campus Housing: The residential college system is amazing. You make so many friends, and there are so many fun activities and traditions. Each college itself has good and bad things about it: soem of the newer colleges have nicer rooms, but they have fewer traditions.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Eli Spector
Rice students tend to be very pleased with campus living and the residential colleges. Unlike most universities, you do not get to pick your dorm at Rice. As an incoming student, you will be randomly assigned to a college, and most students stay at this college until graduation. You will be associated with the college even while living off campus. Transferring between colleges is an option, but no more than a handful of students take this route. Students are more likely to move "deep OC (off campus)" if they are highly dissatisfied with their college.
Each residential college becomes something like a family unit, and each has a special personality, spirit, and unique set of traditions. During freshman orientation week, freshman advisers have a high success rate of thoroughly brainwashing the newbie students into believing that their college is head and shoulders above all the other colleges. The buildings themselves vary because they were built with different architectural styles and at different times.

A staff report
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Fayetteville rallied from a three-goal deficit to earn a 5-4 win at Knoxville on Friday night and remain atop the Southern Professional Hockey League standings.
Knoxville beat FireAntz goalie Shane Madolora for three goals in a span of 1 minute, 39 seconds of the first period. Fayetteville (9-1-0, 18 points) responded in the second frame with goals by Ben Contini, John Clewlow and, on the power play with 3 seconds left, defenseman Andrew Smale.
Smale scored again in the third, and captain Bobby Reed gave the FireAntz a 5-3 advantage at 7:08 with an unassisted goal.
Eric Satim pulled the Ice Bears (6-4-0) to within one at 10:58, but Madolora blanked them the rest of the way. Knoxville took 14 of the game's final 15 shots on net, but lost to the FireAntz for the fourth time this season and second time in as many nights.
Madolora, a rookie out of Salinas, Calif., improved to 3-0-0 in goal in thwarting the Ice Bears for the second time in 24 hours. Fayetteville won on home ice Thursday night, 8-2.

text: MINI Countryman.Print MINI's newest addition to its ever growing family has just scooped its first award. The MINI One D Countryman has been named 'Best Crossover of 2011' by car buyers guide Parkers.The MINI Countryman offers an unbeatable mix of MINI's unique driving experience, low running costs, class leading residual values and bench mark CO2 emissions, and couples it with all of the practicality of a crossover vehicle.Commenting on the Crossover Award, Kieren Puffett, editor of Parkers says, 'The MINI One D Countryman won the Parkers' New Car Awards 2011 Crossover category because it carries the traits of the MINI including fun handling and mixes in four-wheel drive and a huge dose of practicality thanks to the Countryman's larger size. It also makes a major impact when it comes to costs. The low entry-level prices and excellent residual values mean the Countryman offers tremendous value for money. Thanks to the 1.6-litre diesel engine running costs are also low with a claimed average of 64 mpg and road tax that costs just £30. It is a hugely competitive package and is clear to see why the MINI One D Countryman is the Crossover that makes the car buyer's cash go the furthest.'All figures are correct at time of publication and are subject to change.

DONGGUAN, CHINA (Nov. 20, 1:50 p.m. ET) — Japan's large plastics machinery industry, which has become increasingly dependent on the mainland Chinese market, has thus far avoided the big drop in sales seen by Japanese car makers in the wake of anti-Japan protests in September. Still, some non-Japanese suppliers are watching to see if they can get more business in China's growing market for all-electric presses, a sector in the past dominated by the Japanese.

This is a Christmas gift. My little cousin has this hat and rarely plays with it but it's the first toy that my grandson grabs when we go over to my cousin's house. It's one of his favorite toys. My grandson is always trying to copy off his grandpa fixing things around the house. His favorite phrase is "don't worry I'll show you how to fix it". He always wants to turn the light on because he can see better then. (Smile) I love everything about the hard hat. All it needs is a bag to carry/store it in. I'm going to go back and buy it for my two little nephews tomorrow.

My almost 2 year old LOVES workermen and asked for a "workerman hat" for Christmas. We decided to go with this hat, thinking the headlamp would be a cool bonus. The hat totally doesn't fit (it's very shallow), especially when the lamp is attached... it just falls forward over his face because of the weight. The straps don't help at all and are very akward when they're being used. The lamp itself has actually never snapped up like it's supposed to, and it stopped working completely a couple weeks after Christmas.

My son loves this hat! It was purchased to replace an inferior hat that came with a construction man costume. Very fun for my almost four year old who loves Bob the Builder. The straps are a little small though. Would get much more wear if the straps extended a little further.

Baby Boy #3 needs a name!
Our third son is about to arrive and we still cannot agree on a name. Please help! I wanted Frances (before the Pope took it!) but my husband can't get around it being the name of the kid who gets picked on. We are now at a stalemate. We would like a saint name but could do it with the middle name. My rules: must 'fit' with our other sons' names, must not be another J name, must not be too simple ie Matt, Mark and must not be too crazy ie Athanasius.
My other sons: Eugene Gerard & Joseph Marie
I've liked: Francis, Leo, Felix, Ambrose, Henry
Husband has liked: Basil, Oliver,

Francis, Felix, Henry and Oliver would all work well in combination with Eugene and Joseph. Ambrose and Basil are also both great names, but maybe not quite as fitting with the two you have already. Leo is the only one I don't like as much, but what about Lionel? I actually think Lionel would be the perfect fit with what you've got already. I don't have a lot from my list that fit the style of Eugene and Joseph, but here's a few: Abner, Conrad, Hershel, Leland.

About this video
Zach said to me this spring that "In my lifetime, I've gone from the stone age to the digital age". This is the video to prove it. See our crew in action as we coordinate our project between Winnipeg, a campsite miles outside of Igloolik, and Saudi Arabia using satellite and internet technology. Arguably this is the first indigenous broadcast from "the land" ever done.

Sometimes being forced to try somewhere new is a really great thing.
We went to Cosset with Nana and Poppa recently and it was so crowded that we had to go elsewhere (but not before I grabbed a piece of cake for our youngest as most cafes have nothing dairy free).
We've been to Les Pyrenees French deli several times before but had forgotten how good their food is. This delicious eclair was sticky and sweet.
The Cosset coconut slice was pretty great too.
French cuisine is amazing. Just check out these drool worthy desserts.
And of course la fromage (cheese).

Locate the West Ridge North Buttress area favorites, Chockstone and Purple Haze. If you don't know where these are, go ask the line of top-ropers or cued up lead parties because they are on them. (You can also refer to the on-line directions to those routes.) On the right-hand side (facing SouthEast) of the Chockstone Buttress there is a huge, right-facing dihedral formed by the intersection of the buttress and the main wall. This is about 50' to the Right of Chockstone. Through the left side of this dihedral is a ~2-3.5" crack leaning hard ot the right which goes up 50' or so to a broken roof. A few moves are stemming, a few feel more like a chimney, but the necesary technique is predominantly jamming. Ride the crack up to the roof them work delicately up and left to past the overhang to the ledge. Belay on fixed anchors several yards back, as per Purple Haze. There are few opportunities in Eldo to climb on sustained handracks, so this one is fun by that right. The crack is seriously abrasive, however, so if you are not a master-jammer, TAPE UP!
The protection is predominantly 1.5-3" cams, and is generally good. Take doubles if you want to sew this up, and maybe a few larger or smaller pieces. At the top of the route, tread lightly and be careful where you place, because the rock is questionable. I have done this route 4 times, and it felt fine... but I've been careful, so I can't promise that reckless abandon or pumped-panic won't produce a disaster.
Clean Dan and I did the first ascent of this route so long ago, that I didn't remember it until my friend John Baldwin reminded me that we had done it. This is just a little tribute to my friend Dan, who left us early, probably because he was fighting demons, just as I have. I didn't know it at the time, and I think Dan made the route name suggestion, but I believe both of us survived some punches. The difference is I got a handle on the hits I got, and Dan didn't. I am really sad to lose this spirit to this world. I wish I had been in contact with Dan more over the years. Take care of your friends. Joel Schiavone
Fun route. Hands and thin hands with just the left foot in the crack to start. Opens a little to a fist then off-width or move right up into the roof. Don't fall here and find somewhere to get a piece among the detached blocks. Pulling through the roof is not hard and really fun. Link with "p2" of Purple Haze or Friends in High Places and end up at the tree. 1 pitch with a 60. Rap or lower. Could garner an R on lead since the roof portion is mainly detached blocks and you would be 10' above the last piece in the crack. Might get a #4 or #5 where it flares to OW though.
A #4 C4 does not fit :-(
Wow-- this climb packs a punch. I ended up doing a strenuous lieback for a short time. This was a bad idea. pulling over the roof is easy and you can get good no hands rests in right below it. While I did not lead it, it looked like you could get pretty good gear in and I watched someone lead the roof and they had plenty of good cam placements. Edit to add: I also thought this was a little sandbagged, though my crack technique is obviously mediocre.
Dave Hague said he had a first ascent waiting for me on the West Ridge; so we walked up there and I started getting my butt kicked. 10a was hard for me in those days. Along come Joel and Clean Dan, at which point Dave invites them to have a shot; while I sputter-"but, but". So Joel shows us how it's done; and I suppose I've forgiven Dave for giving away my glory....
I second Tony's comment to TAPE UP! I don't usually tape in Eldo, but I would if I were to do this climb again. The inside of this crack is very rough. It was a fun climb and easy to TR from the Friends in High Places anchors.
+3 on the tape.
Unusual to find pure crack climbing like this at Eldo. Crack is a bit rough, tape would be good, but I didn't tape and no problem if you place your hands carefully. I indeed got a bomber #4 Camalot at the top of the crack where it widens climbing up into the pod under the overhang. Then really fun moves to turn and pop over the roof.

news report
Thursday September 30, 2010 21:40 by Alan, Shane, Andrew - WSM
Despite the escalating costs for the working class of the crisis in Ireland resistance has fallen off ever since the pro partnership leadership of the unions succeeded in getting the Croke park deal passed by the membership. The deal makes vague promises not to impose further pay cuts on the public sector in return for large scale restructuring but was conditional on the economic situation not declining further. Yesterday saw the unions return to the streets with a press call that the left, including the anarchist movement, tried to push into a demonstration. That morning in a rather unusual individual action a man parked a slogan covered cement lorry in the gates of the Dail (parliament building) blocking access. These articles from the WSM site report on these events and include the speech delivered by a WSM member at the protest.
Cement truck blocks Dail gates to protest AngloIt was one of those moments when you're certain that tens of thousands of other people are going through the same emotions at the same time as you. One of the rarer ones of late when the emotion is sheer joy. I wasn't really paying attention to the crackling radio as I was coming around with my cup of tea this morning, chit-chatting to my housemate. But the words 'cement truck', 'Leinster House', 'Dail Eireann', 'Gates' eventually got our attention. Oh the delight of it! Man takes concrete measures ahead of Anglo/Dail protest
What happened? According to news reports, at 7:30 this morning a 41 year old man drove a cement mixer truck onto which had been painted the words "Toxic Bank Anglo", along with the Anglo Irish Bank Logo, By the time I got to the scene, at about 9.40, the truck had apparently just been removed. There was a slight buzz with Gards, quite a few onlookers and journalists hanging around and chatting. One of the most bizarre, but least surprising, aspects of the coverage of this on RTE's 'Morning Ireland' was the outright refutation by a commentator of Fine Gael TD Fergus O'Dowd's remark that this action was motivated by discontentment with the way the government has been running the economy and the country. "It's too early to speculate what the man's motivations were" said the commentator, or words to that effect. The political and media elite really need to smell the coffee in this country. Today is the day that "our" "representatives" return to the business of mismanaging our country after their gargantuan summer recess at our expense. Today is the day that th Irish Congress of Trades Unions are leading a march from Anglo Irish to the Dail in protest at the savage cuts to communities and services to pay for their mess. But the ruling elite are already trying to pass off this entrepreneurial individual's act of active citizenship as something unconnected to the nation-wide anger felt at the economic and social calamity that they have visited on this country. No doubt they will try to paint this hero as a nutter. But he isn't the only one feeling this anger, and there will be more actions like these in the weeks and months to come. That is just a concrete fact. WORDS: Shane O'Curry * - the original headline on this piece read Cement truck rams Dail gates. In fact the driver just drove up the gates and parked there. For this parking offence he has spent the rest of the day in the cells
Video of truck at gate
TD's interviewed outside after the truck was removed - note the microphone ICTU unions protest as TDs arrive back to Dáil (parliament)Up to 1,500 workers (Irish Times estimate) marched from Anglo-Irish Bank to the Dáil at lunchtime today. For a lunchtime event with very little publicity it was a surprisingly good turnout. The ICTU leaders had only planned for a stunt to get themselves on the TV news, their original idea was that a couple of hundred union officials and activists would provide a backdrop for David Begg or Jack O'Connor delivering a soundbite. Most union members heard nothing about it. There were no circulars to shop stewards, no posters, no notices in newspapers. There was no suggestion of stopping work, so the protest as effectively limited to those working nearby who could use their lunch break to attend. To get 1,500, maybe half of whom came from jobs in the immediate area, is indicative of some appetite for resistance to wage and service cuts. In February of last year 120,000 of us marched against pay cuts only to be sent home again while ICTU leaders agreed those very same cuts, and then promoted the Croke Park agreement as "the only game in town". Begg and friends have no argument with the government strategy of making workers and the poor pay for the crisis, all they want is for the process to be over a longer period so that – while the same cuts are made – they happen less rapidly. As David Begg made clear today, his problem is that the cuts are "too austere". If the potential strength of 600,000 trade unionists across the 26 counties is to be more than a bargaining chip exchanged for some very minor concessions we need to get rid of the current leadership and we also defeat the ideas that they represent. Ideas like 'social partnership' between exploited and exploiter, ideas like accepting the most working people can hope for is some slowing down of our worsening living standards. When the ICTU leaders folded their banners and left, and most others headed back to work, about 400 of us remained to listen to speeches from the groups who had actually publicised the protest. Speaking to the rally, Alan MacSimoin of the Workers Solidarity Movement said "In the good times the wealthy didn't share the gain, in the bad times why should we "share the pain"? They have their private hospitals like the Mater Private and Blackrock Clinic, while we have ever longer waiting lists for operations. They have their private schools like Alexandra College and Blackrock College while our children have to make-do with underfunded education. And they keep demanding more from us, if they had their way we would tighten our belts so much that we would cut ourselves in half. "When they say there in no alternative to a system run in the interests of the wealthy, of spivs and speculators; we say 'yes, there is'. What's wrong with common ownership of the means of producing wealth? What's wrong with common ownership of the services we rely on? "What's wrong with using all this to meet the needs of all? Is there no better system than one which sees growing numbers of homeless sleeping the streets while a record amount of property is left idle because speculators can't turn a profit? "What's wrong with ordinary people having a direct say in the decisions that effect them? When they ask what our alternative is, tell them – as did Connolly and Larkin – that our alternative is socialism."
Other speakers were Joe Higgins MEP (Socialist Party), Malachy Steenson (Workers Party), Terry Kelleher (CPSU national executive), Cllr Richard Boyd Barrett (People Before Profit/SWP), Paul Hansard (SIPTU activist) and Anne Conway (TUI activist). |
