Arthur James Balfour, 1st Earl of Balfour, KG, OM, PC, DL (/ˈbælfʊər/; 25 July 1848 – 19 March 1930) was a British Conservative politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from July 1902 to December 1905. When he came into his inheritance at 21 Balfour became one of the wealthiest young men in Britain. He rose to prominence by suppressing agrarian unrest in Ireland through punitive action combined with measures against absentee landlords. After a period of being highly influential in government, he succeeded his uncle, Lord Salisbury as Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader in July 1902.
Balfour was widely seen as an ambivalent personality, and a weak Prime Minister. His embrace of the imperial preference championed by Joseph Chamberlain was nuanced, but nonetheless brought about about resignations and the end of his spell as party leader. On Irish home rule Balfour was one sided, holding that there could be no half way house between Ireland remaining within the United Kingdom or becoming an independent state. He oversaw the Entente Cordiale, an alliance with France that led to Britain's involvement in WW1. In 1915 he became Foreign Secretary in Lloyd George's wartime administration, but was frequently left out of the inner workings of the government, although the declaration of 1917 promising the Jews a "national home" in Palestine bore his name. He resigned as Foreign Secretary following the Versailles Conference in 1919, dying 19 March 1930 aged 81, having completely spent an inherited fortune. He never married.
Balfour trained as a philosopher—he originated an important argument against believing that human reason could determine truth—and had a detached attitude to life, as epitomised by a remark attributed to him: "Nothing matters very much and few things matter at all".

Background and early career[edit]
Arthur Balfour was born at Whittingehame House, East Lothian, Scotland, the eldest son of James Maitland Balfour (1820–1856) and Lady Blanche Gascoyne-Cecil (1825-1872). His father was a Scottish MP; his mother, a member of the Cecil family descended from Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, was the daughter of the 2nd Marquess of Salisbury and a sister to the 3rd Marquess, the future Prime Minister. His godfather was the Duke of Wellington, after whom he was named.[1] He was the eldest son, the third of eight children, and had four brothers and three sisters. Arthur Balfour had his early education at the Grange preparatory school in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire (1859–1861), and Eton (1861–1866), where he studied with the influential Master William Johnson Cory. He then went on to the University of Cambridge, where he read moral sciences at Trinity College (1866–1869),[2] graduating with a second-class honours degree. His younger brother was the renowned Cambridge embryologist Francis Maitland Balfour (1851–1882).
Although he coined the saying, "Nothing matters very much and few things matter at all", Balfour was distraught at the early death from typhus in 1875 of his cousin May Lyttelton, whom he had hoped to marry: later in life he was to receive a series of messages from mediums, claiming to pass on messages from her, known as the "Palm Sunday Case".[3][4] Balfour remained a bachelor for the rest of his life, his serious intention to marry never renewed. Margot Tennant (later Margot Asquith) had wished to marry him, but on being queried about this he replied: "No, that is not so. I rather think of having a career of my own."[1] His household was maintained by his unmarried sister Alice. In middle age Balfour had a forty-year long friendship with Mary Charteris (née Wyndham), Lady Elcho, later Countess of Wemyss and March.[5] Although one biographer writes that "it is difficult to say how far the relationship went" evidence from her letters suggests that they may have become lovers in 1887 and may have engaged in some form of sado-masochism,[6] a claim echoed by A. N. Wilson.[3] Another biographer believes that they had "no direct physical relationship", although he dismisses as unlikely suggestions that Balfour was homosexual, or, in view of a time during the Boer War when he replied to an important message whilst drying himself after his bath, Lord Beaverbrook's famous claim that he was "a hermaphrodite" whom no-one ever saw naked.[7]
In 1874 he was elected Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Hertford and represented that constituency until 1885. In the spring of 1878 Balfour became Private Secretary to his uncle, Lord Salisbury. In that capacity he accompanied Salisbury (then Foreign Secretary) to the Congress of Berlin and gained his first experience in international politics in connection with the settlement of the Russo-Turkish conflict. At the same time he became known in the world of letters; the academic subtlety and literary achievement of his Defence of Philosophic Doubt (1879) suggested that he might make a reputation for himself as a philosopher.
Balfour divided his time between the political arena and academic pursuits. Released from his duties as private secretary by the general election of 1880, he began to take a more active part in parliamentary affairs. He was for a time politically associated with Lord Randolph Churchill, Sir Henry Drummond Wolff and John Gorst. This quartet became known as the "Fourth Party" and gained notoriety for leader Lord Randolph Churchill's free criticism of Sir Stafford Northcote, Lord Cross and other prominent members of the "old gang".
Service in Lord Salisbury's governments[edit]
In 1885, Lord Salisbury appointed Balfour as President of the Local Government Board; the following year he became Secretary for Scotland, with a seat in the cabinet. These offices, while offering few opportunities for distinction, served as an apprenticeship for Balfour. In early 1887, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, resigned because of illness and Salisbury appointed his nephew in his place. The selection took the political world by surprise and possibly led to the British phrase "Bob's your uncle!". Balfour surprised his critics by his ruthless enforcement of the Crimes Act, earning the nickname "Bloody Balfour". Balfour's skill for steady administration did much to dispel his reputation as a political lightweight.
In Parliament he resisted any overtures to the Irish Parliamentary Party on Home Rule, and, allied with Joseph Chamberlain's Liberal Unionists, strongly encouraged Unionist activism in Ireland. Balfour also broadened the basis of material prosperity to the less well off by creating the Congested Districts Board for Ireland in 1890. It was during this period of 1886–1892 that he sharpened his gift of oratory and gained a reputation as one of the most effective public speakers of the age. Impressive in matter rather than in delivery, his speeches were logical and convincing, and delighted an ever wider audience.
On the death of W.H. Smith in 1891, Balfour became First Lord of the Treasury—the last one in British history not to have been concurrently Prime Minister as well—and Leader of the House of Commons. After the fall of the government in 1892 he spent three years in opposition. When the Conservatives returned to power, in a coalition with the Liberal Unionists, in 1895, Balfour once again assumed the positions of Leader of the House and First Lord of the Treasury. His management of the abortive education proposals of 1896 were thought to show a disinclination for the continuous drudgery of parliamentary management, yet he had the satisfaction of seeing the passage of a bill providing Ireland with an improved system of local government, and took an active role in the debates on the various foreign and domestic questions that came before parliament between 1895 to 1900.
During the illness of Lord Salisbury in 1898, and again in Lord Salisbury's absence abroad, Balfour was put in charge of the Foreign Office, and it was his job to conduct the critical negotiations with Russia on the question of railways in North China. As a member of the cabinet responsible for the Transvaal negotiations in 1899, he bore his full share of controversy and, when the war began disastrously, he was the first to realise the need to put the full military strength of the country into the field. His leadership of the House of Commons was marked by considerable firmness in the suppression of obstruction, yet there was a slight revival of the criticisms of 1896.
Prime Minister[edit]
On Lord Salisbury's resignation on 11 July 1902, Balfour succeeded him as Prime Minister, with the approval of all sections of the Unionist party. The new Prime Minister came into power practically at the same moment as the coronation of Edward VII and the end of the South African War. For a while no cloud appeared on the horizon. The Liberal party was still disorganised over their attitude towards the Boers. The two chief items of the ministerial parliamentary program were the extension of the new Education Act to London and the Irish Land Purchase Act, by which the British exchequer would advance the capital for enabling tenants in Ireland to buy land. A notable achievement of Balfour's government was the establishment of the Committee on Imperial Defence.
In foreign affairs, Balfour and his Foreign Secretary, Lord Lansdowne presided over a dramatic improvement in relations with France, culminating in the Entente cordiale of 1904. The period also saw the acute crisis of the Russo-Japanese War, when Britain, an ally of the Japanese, came close to war with Russia as a result of the Dogger Bank incident. On the whole, Balfour left the conduct of foreign policy to Lansdowne, being largely busy himself with domestic problems.
Balfour has a distinct distrust of the American concept of equality. During the negotiations over the creation of the League of Nations, the topic of "all men being created equal" came up in the context of the American Declaration of Independence. Speaking to Col House, an aide to President Wilson and David Hunter Miller, the Chief Legal Adviser to the US Commission, Balfour said "that was an 19th century proposition that he didn't believe was true. He believed that it was true that in a sence all men in a particular nation were created equal, but not that a man in Central Africa was created equal to a European." Source, notes of David Hunter Miller, pg 183, Vol I, The Drafting of the Covenant, 1928, Putnam.
The budget was certain to show a surplus and taxation could be remitted. Yet as events proved, it was the budget that would sow dissension, override all other legislative concerns, and in the end signal the beginning of a new political movement. Charles Thomson Ritchie's remission of the shilling import-duty on corn led to Joseph Chamberlain's crusade in favour of tariff reform—these were taxes on imported goods with trade preference given to the Empire, with the threefold goal of protecting British industry from competition, strengthening the British Empire in the face of growing German and American economic power, and providing a source of revenue, other than raising taxes, for the costs of social welfare legislation. As the session proceeded, the rift grew in the Unionist ranks. Tariff Reform proved popular with Unionist supporters, but the threat of higher prices for food imports made the policy an electoral albatross. Hoping to split the difference between the free traders and tariff reformers in his cabinet and party, Balfour came out in favour of retaliatory tariffs—tariffs designed to punish other powers that had tariffs against British goods, supposedly in the hope of encouraging global free trade.
This was not, however, sufficient for either the free traders or the more extreme tariff reformers in the government. With Balfour's agreement, Chamberlain resigned from the Cabinet in late 1903 to stump the country in favour of Tariff Reform. At the same time, Balfour tried to balance the two factions by accepting the resignation of three free-trading ministers, including Chancellor Ritchie, but the almost simultaneous resignation of the free-trader Duke of Devonshire (who as Lord Hartington had been the Liberal Unionist leader of the 1880s) left Balfour's Cabinet looking weak. By 1905 relatively few Unionist MPs were still free traders (the young Winston Churchill crossed over to the Liberals in 1904 when threatened with deselection at Oldham), but Balfour's long balancing act had drained his authority within the government.
Balfour eventually resigned as Prime Minister in December 1905, hoping in vain that the Liberal leader Campbell-Bannerman would be unable to form a strong government. These hopes were dashed when Campbell-Bannerman faced down an attempt ("The Relugas Compact") to "kick him upstairs" to the House of Lords. The Conservatives were defeated by the Liberals at the general election the following January (in terms of MPs, a Liberal landslide), with Balfour himself losing his seat at Manchester East to Thomas Gardner Horridge, a prominent solicitor and king's counsel. Only 157 Conservatives were returned to the House of Commons, at least two-thirds of them followers of Chamberlain, who briefly chaired the Conservative MPs until Balfour won a safe seat in the City of London.

Later career[edit]
After the disaster of 1906 Balfour remained party leader, his position strengthened by Joseph Chamberlain's removal from active politics after his stroke in July 1906, but he was unable to make much headway against the huge Liberal majority in the House of Commons. An early attempt to score a debating triumph over the government, made in Balfour's usual abstruse, theoretical style, saw Campbell-Bannerman respond with: "Enough of this foolery," to the delight of his supporters in the House. Balfour made the controversial decision, with Lord Lansdowne, to use the heavily Unionist House of Lords as an active check on the political program and legislation of the Liberal party in the House of Commons. Numerous pieces of legislation were vetoed or altered by amendments between 1906 and 1909, leading David Lloyd George to remark that the Lords had become "not the watchdog of the Constitution, but Mr. Balfour's poodle." The issue was eventually forced by the Liberals with Lloyd George's so-called People's Budget, provoking the constitutional crisis that eventually led to the Parliament Act 1911, which replaced the Lords' veto authority with a greatly reduced power to only delay bills for up to two years. After the Unionists had failed to win an electoral mandate at either of the General Elections of 1910 (despite softening the Tariff Reform policy with Balfour's promise of a referendum on food taxes), the Unionist peers split to allow the Parliament Act to pass the House of Lords, in order to prevent a mass-creation of new Liberal peers by the new King, George V. The exhausted Balfour resigned as party leader after the crisis, and was succeeded in late 1911 by Andrew Bonar Law.
Balfour remained an important figure within the party, however, and when the Unionists joined Asquith's coalition government in May 1915, Balfour succeeded Winston Churchill as First Lord of the Admiralty. When Asquith's government collapsed in December 1916, Balfour, who seemed for a time a potential successor to the premiership, became Foreign Secretary in Lloyd George's new administration, but was not actually included in the small War Cabinet, and was frequently left out of the inner workings of the government. Balfour's service as Foreign Secretary was most notable for the issuance of the Balfour Declaration of 1917, a letter to Lord Rothschild promising the Jews a "national home" in Palestine, then part of the Ottoman Empire.
Balfour resigned as Foreign Secretary following the Versailles Conference in 1919, but continued in the government (and the Cabinet after normal peacetime political arrangements resumed) as Lord President of the Council. In 1921–22 he represented the British Empire at the Washington Naval Conference.
In 1922 he, along with most of the Conservative leadership, resigned with Lloyd George's government following the Conservative back-bench revolt against the continuance of the coalition. Bonar Law soon became Prime Minister. In 1922 Balfour was created Earl of Balfour. Like many of the Coalition leaders he did not hold office in the Conservative governments of 1922–4, although as an elder statesman he was consulted by the King in the choice of Baldwin as Bonar Law's successor as Conservative leader in May 1923. When asked by a lady whether "dear George" (the much more experienced Lord Curzon) would be chosen he replied, referring to Curzon's wealthy wife Grace, "No, dear George will not but he will still have the means of Grace."
Balfour was again not initially included in Stanley Baldwin's second government in 1924, but in 1925 he once again returned to the Cabinet, serving in place of the late Lord Curzon as Lord President of the Council until the government ended in 1929. In 1925 he visited the Holy Land.[8]
Apart from a number of colds and occasional influenza, Balfour had enjoyed good health until the year 1928, and remained until then a regular tennis player. Indeed 4 years previously he had been the first President at its founding of the International Lawn Tennis Club of Great Britain. At the end of 1928 most of his teeth had to be removed and he began to suffer from the unremitting circulatory trouble which ended his life. Late in January 1929 Balfour was conveyed from Whittingehame to Fisher's Hill, his brother Gerald's home near Woking, Surrey. In the past he had suffered from occasional bouts of phlebitis and by late 1929 he was immobilised by it. Finally, soon after receiving a visit from his friend Chaim Weizmann, Balfour died at Fisher's Hill on 19 March 1930. At his request a public funeral was declined and he was buried on 22 March beside members of his family at Whittingehame in a Church of Scotland service, though he also belonged to the Church of England. Despite the snowy weather, attenders came from far and wide. By special remainder, the title passed to his brother Gerald.
His obituaries in The Times, The Guardian and the Daily Herald made no mention of the declaration for which he is most famous.[9]
Balfour was unusual for himself as much as for his politics. He developed a manner well known to his friends, which has been described as the Balfourian manner. Harold Begbie, a journalist of the period, wrote a book called Mirrors of Downing Street, in which he criticised Balfour for his manner, personality and self-obsession. Begbie wrote as one who disagreed strongly with Balfour's political views, but even his one-sided criticisms do not entirely conceal another facet of Balfour's personality, his shyness and diffidence. The sections of the work dealing with Balfour's personality have been reproduced below:
This Balfourian manner, as I understand it, has its roots in an attitude of mind—an attitude of convinced superiority which insists in the first place on complete detachment from the enthusiasms of the human race, and in the second place on keeping the vulgar world at arm's length.
It is an attitude of mind which a critic or a cynic might be justified in assuming, for it is the attitude of one who desires rather to observe the world than to shoulder any of its burdens; but it is a posture of exceeding danger to anyone who lacks tenderness or sympathy, whatever his purpose or office may be, for it tends to breed the most dangerous of all intellectual vices, that spirit of self-satisfaction which Dostoievsky declares to be the infallible mark of an inferior mind.
To Mr. Arthur Balfour this studied attitude of aloofness has been fatal, both to his character and to his career. He has said nothing, written nothing, done nothing, which lives in the heart of his countrymen. To look back upon his record is to see a desert, and a desert with no altar and with no monument, without even one tomb at which a friend might weep. One does not say of him, "He nearly succeeded there", or "What a tragedy that he turned from this to take up that"; one does not feel for him at any point in his career as one feels for Mr. George Wyndham or even for Lord Randolph Churchill; from its outset until now that career stretches before our eyes in a flat and uneventful plain of successful but inglorious and ineffective self-seeking.
There is one signal characteristic of the Balfourian manner which is worthy of remark. It is an assumption in general company of a most urbane, nay, even a most cordial spirit. I have heard many people declare at a public reception that he is the most gracious of men, and seen many more retire from shaking his hand with a flush of pride on their faces as though Royalty had stooped to inquire after the measles of their youngest child. Such is ever the effect upon vulgar minds of geniality in superiors: they love to be stooped to from the heights.
But this heartiness of manner is of the moment only, and for everybody; it manifests itself more personally in the circle of his intimates and is irresistible in week-end parties; but it disappears when Mr. Balfour retires into the shell of his private life and there deals with individuals, particularly with dependants. It has no more to do with his spirit than his tail-coat and his white tie. Its remarkable impression comes from its unexpectedness; its effect is the shock of surprise. In public he is ready to shake the whole world by the hand, almost to pat it on the shoulder; but in private he is careful to see that the world does not enter even the remotest of his lodge gates.
"The truth about Arthur Balfour," said George Wyndham, "is this: he knows there's been one ice-age, and he thinks there's going to be another."
Little as the general public may suspect it, the charming, gracious, and cultured Mr. Balfour is the most egotistical of men, and a man who would make almost any sacrifice to remain in office. It costs him nothing to serve under Mr. Lloyd George; it would have cost him almost his life to be out of office during a period so exciting as that of the Great War. He loves office more than anything this world can offer; neither in philosophy nor music, literature nor science, has he ever been able to find rest for his soul. It is profoundly instructive that a man with a real talent for the noblest of those pursuits which make solitude desirable and retirement an opportunity should be so restless and dissatisfied, even in old age, outside the doors of public life.—Begbie, Harold (as 'A Gentleman with a Duster'): Mirrors of Downing Street: Some political reflections, Mills and Boon (1920), p. 76–79
Winston Churchill once compared Balfour to Herbert Asquith by stating, "The difference between Balfour and Asquith is that Arthur is wicked and moral, while Asquith is good and immoral." Balfour famously said of himself, "I am more or less happy when being praised, not very comfortable when being abused, but I have moments of uneasiness when being explained."[10]
Writings and academic achievements[edit]
Balfour is widely thought to have formulated the basis for what has become known as the Evolutionary argument against naturalism, the idea that it is rational to think human cognitive facilities beliefs are not designed to perceive the truth. He was also a member of the Society for Psychical Research, a society dedicated to studying psychic and paranormal phenomena, and was its president from 1892–1894.
Popular culture[edit]
- Balfour was the subject of two parody novels based on Alice in Wonderland, Clara in Blunderland (1902) and Lost in Blunderland (1903), which appeared under the pseudonym Caroline Lewis; one of the co-authors was Harold Begbie.[11][12]
- The character Arthur Balfour plays a supporting, off-screen role in Upstairs, Downstairs, promoting the family patriarch, Richard Bellamy, to the position of Civil Lord of the Admiralty.[citation needed].
- A fictionalised version of Arthur Balfour (identified as "Mr. Balfour") appears as British Prime Minister in the science fiction romance The Angel of the Revolution by George Griffith, published in 1893 (when Balfour was still in opposition) but set in an imagined near future of 1903-1905.

By John Ramsey Staff writer
Fayetteville's economy could be devastated if Congress doesn't reach a deal to avert the $500 billion reduction in federal defense spending scheduled to start in January.
That was the message Monday from Republican Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte, who spoke at Fayetteville Technical Community College as part of a four-state trip to sound a warning about the potential effects of defense cuts.
The military accounts for about 40 percent of personal income in the Fayetteville region, which makes the area more susceptible to a reduction in defense spending.
"Y'all are about to get screwed if this thing happens. I don't know how to be more blunt with you," Graham said, adding that Republicans and Democrats share blame for the situation. "I've never seen a scenario since I've been in politics that scares me more than this."
The scenario dates to last summer. In July, Republicans in Congress refused to raise the nation's debt limit without a deal in place to cut spending. The deal called for cutting at least $2 trillion from the federal deficit over the next 10 years in exchange for raising the debt ceiling by $2.4 trillion.
A group of 12 lawmakers, known as the supercommittee, was formed to cut at least $1.2 trillion from the deficit either through reduced spending or tax increases. But the supercommittee's failure to find a compromise triggered automatic additional cuts of $1 trillion, split evenly between defense and domestic spending.
Those cuts - on top of the roughly half a trillion dollars already being cut from the defense budget - are set to begin in January unless Congress reaches a new deal. The defense cuts have been widely opposed by military leaders, who have said national security would be compromised and that the military could become "a paper tiger." The Army, for example, would be the smallest ground force since 1940.
McCain, of Arizona, said President Obama, in his role as commander in chief, ought to sit down with Republican and Democratic legislators to come up with a deal that avoids taking a "meat ax" to defense. He said the three senators would be willing to cross party lines and discuss increasing revenues through closing tax loopholes. Most Republicans have refused to discuss any form of tax increase as part of the plan.
Any deal reached seems likely to have some effect on military families.
Graham, of South Carolina, said premiums for Tri-care will probably have to be raised to offset the military's growing personnel costs. He said he favors basing the increased premiums on people's incomes, so people who could afford it would pay more.
The group of senators also advocated for reaching a deal on the first year's cuts, then trying to create a larger compromise for the future. They urged residents to ask their own representatives in Congress to be part of the solution.
Joe Newman, spokesman for the budget watchdog group Project on Government Oversight, said the senators' road trip is little more than a political ploy before election season. He said warnings that more than a million jobs might be lost are not true.
"The threats of mass layoffs are simply political scare tactics by an industry that can afford to spend tens of millions of dollars on lobbying and campaign contributions while crying that the 'sky is falling,' " Newman said.
The Fayetteville-Cumberland Chamber of Commerce, FTCC and the North Carolina Military Business Center sponsored Monday's town-hall meeting, which included a question-and-answer session.
Some people were disappointed that most of the dozen questions from the crowd of about 300 people had little to do with the impending budget cuts.
Brian Kent, president of K3 Enterprises, said it was frustrating that no defense contractors were allowed to ask about the cuts.
Kent said it's still too soon to know how his business might be affected by the cuts, and that's part of the problem. Congress' indecision is keeping military contractors, which make up the second-largest sector of North Carolina's economy, from hiring and doing more research because the future is so uncertain.
"Nobody knows where the ax is coming; they just know it's coming," Kent said. "I'm a little guy (in the defense contracting world), and I can't plan right now past 90 days."
Allan M. Freyer, a public policy analyst for the N.C. Budget and Tax Center, said it's important to remember that the $500 billion in domestic spending cuts would also hurt people the Fayetteville area.
"I think both (defense and domestic cuts) together will be devastating for people here," Freyer said, "military families and nonmilitary families alike."
Ayotte is a first-term senator from New Hampshire.

So as I looked at this because at the end of one's life everywhere else in the world.
You've basically come back into the family and it is a place of greatest scheme of great prestige.

The European Union was cobbled together based on deception and fraud and downright lies.
And they surrounded Margaret Thatcher -- they forced -- into -- various documents which was terribly against.
And it's been forced on the British people.
Approximately 68% of whom want to get out but then never given -- jobs despite cost on guarantees by.

but i like the actual instructable!
soften the mess with vinegar and wipe up any loose bits.
sprinkle bicarb over the mess and add a little vinegar to make a paste
Let it foam, and work the paste into the mess.
Prevent the mess from sticking to the carpet by mixing the mess occasionally
Allow to dry and vacuum the dry mess up.
remove excess waste with your own way!
But I admit, that would be funny.
I don't get why this is rated so high... Nobody wants to put their fingers through the doorcrack this way and if they would I don't think they would think twice about dropping the egg...

Five hours into playing this game I started doing that :P I lost interest soon after.
ha ha yup, definitely done that before
But you ALWAYS fuck up and get airborn somehow
Yea.... Then you ended up killing someone... And then the ambulance came and killed more people... And sometimes the cops came and killed a few more... By that point SOMETHING caught on fire and the firetruck comes and kills more people AND sets some cars on fire.... And your whole day just goes downhill from there.
I say it gets better after that! xD
LOL in GTA4 I always wore the nicest suits from Perseus and drove the nicest luxury cars.. normally, following traffic. Some asshole would inevitably hit and damage my car, after which I'd step out with an AK47 and fucking level the whole street.
Yes, been there done that.
That's how I played from the beginning. Of course, the game never did hold my interest for hours on end.
I did base jumping and plane maneuvers.

Frank 'N' Con Report – First Strike
Living in the middle of nowhere, you get used to the idea that you'll have to travel if you want to see much of anything, particularly when that something is a specialized interest, like a horror convention. Cons are on the list of things we just don't get around here, along with fresh seafood and people who know how to use turn signals. So I was thrilled to hear about the first annual Frank 'N' Con, a horror convention that was held Halloween weekend in El Paso, Texas, which is "only" a three hour drive for me. That's as local as it gets when you're homesteading out here in the badlands.
The guest list was impressive. A fairly comprehensive reunion for the cast of the 1985 classic Return of the Living Dead, including a live performance by legendary punk band 45 Grave, was the big draw for me; but they also had Ernie Hudson, Margo Kidder, Dee Wallace, Belinda Balaski, and a slew of other stars.
So I got up early on Saturday morning and made the trek down with my sister Julie, who knows a whole lot more about horror films than I do. Being a novice at the con scene, I'm a poor judge of the success of such an event, but it seemed like a decent turnout to me, especially for the first year. It was pretty busy both days, but not so packed that you couldn't get around. Lines for each table were rarely more than two or three people deep and frequently there was no wait at all, so there was a lot of opportunity to interact with the booth operators.
[ we also got the chance to meet chicks! ]
The Return of the Living Dead cast was set up in their own special side room, which is a good idea in theory. In actual practice, I think it segregated them a little and led to a lower turnout for the actors. That was good for us, as we got to hang out with them a bit more, but I hope they did well with their merch sales. We spent a lot of time talking to Linnea Quigley, and also interacted quite a bit with Miguel Núñez, Beverly Randolph, John Philbin, Don Calfa, Brian Peck, Thom Matthews, Allan Trautman, William Stout, and Michael Perez who is the executive producer for the new Return of the Living Dead documentary, More Brains.
It was a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Miguel Núñez in particular was hilarious. At one point he freaked out Linnea Quigley by swiping her money pouch and sending a fan over to tell her that someone had made off with it. He let her sweat a little before coming over and handing it back. Michael Perez encouraged us to try to prank Beverly Randolph, but she was just too nice for me to go through with it. It was also the first time that Dinah Cancer from 45 Grave had met Linnea Quigley, so we had a lot of fun watching the stars have their own fan moments. The only sad note was the absence of Jewel Shepard, who was scheduled to appear but is undergoing treatment for breast cancer and had to bow out on the advice of her doctors. There is an opportunity to donate to her medical expenses on the Frank 'N' Con homepage.
Another interesting booth was a local El Paso group called Guerilla Graphics. They were promoting artwork for a planned animated horror project called the Zygomatics. Good stuff! I was impressed with their artwork, and intend to keep up with what they are doing.
The main area was open until six. Then it was time for a night of horror set to music. I think blog posts are best if they are only so long, though, so I'll leave that story for another day. Stay tuned…

It didn't disappoint me at all! For this price, I couldn't ask for more. Place was simple but clean, room was spacious, bed was comfortable, and even provides a blanket and a towel (I stayed in the dorm room). Coffee, tea and water is provided, helpful staff, and an amazing place to interact with other guests. But you have to wake early or stay up late to meet most other travellers though, because most of them are out by the early morning and comes back late at night. I'm sure you understand

The room was small with basic bathroom but great value for money. Price was so cheap and included breakfast. The best part was the staff. All were so friendly, especially the owner. He set us up with the best tuk-tuk driver for $15 US. to see the Angkor Wat temples and packed us a breakfast for the road as we left at 4:30am. Close to the markets and a great location. We also had the crocodile pits below our window which was very amusing. Would definitely recommend/stay again.

ATLANTA – A team of students from Georgia State University College of Law recently returned from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where they placed third in the First Annual Inter-American Sustainable Development Law moot court competition. The team was sponsored by the law school's Center for the Comparative Study of Metropolitan Growth.
The team included third-year law students Charlie Britt, vice president of the Moot Court Honor Society, Russell Britt, a member of the Law Review and Moot Court Honor Society (and Charlie's brother), and Andrew Hagenbush, a law school Urban Fellow and president of the Environmental Law Society. The team was coached by fellow third-year law student Stephanie Stewart, who also serves as president of the Moot Court Honor Society.
In addition to placing third, the team was awarded Best Brief in the competition. Hagenbush also brought home Best Oralist honors in preliminary round two and semi-final round one.
The team argued Indigenous Population Aricapus and Immigrants of the Republic of Mirokai v. Federal Republic of Tucanos, a case focused on balancing sustainable development, human rights, energy and environmental law. Eighteen teams were part of the competition, including teams from the United States, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Guatemala, and Colombia. The competition was unique and challenging in that the participating teams and judges spoke in three different languages – English, Portuguese and Spanish – and simultaneous translation was offered.
In the first preliminary round, the team argued against Universidade do Estado do Amazonas in Brazil, and Florida International University in the second preliminary round. The team was the only team from the United States to advance to the semi-final round. In the semi-finals, the team argued first against Universidade de São Paulo in Brazil, and then against Universidad Del Rosario in Colombia.
This team was the first moot court team from Georgia State Law to compete in a competition held outside the United States.

Our great supplement offers 400IU natural source Vitamin E with mixed tocopherols. There are a total of four different tocopherols that are present in our product: D-alpha, D-beta, D-gamma and D-delta, as opposed to the commonly found single d-alpha supplements on the market. These four tocopherols that we use are often added to food products to help prevent the breakdown of flavors and enzymes and to help prevent oxidation. They are much more than simple food additives, however, and they offer many health benefits.
Typical western diets are remarkably poor in nutrients, and trying to eat properly can be difficult for many people. Even with a vegan, organic diet, ensuring that you have the proper levels of certain nutrients could be challenging.
If you are not getting enough Vitamin E in your diet, or if you feel that an additional supplement could help, taking a vegan 400IU natural source Vitamin E with mixed tocopherols can be an excellent idea.
DEVA Vitamin E with mixed tocopherols is 100% vegan, vegetarian. In order to provide peace-of-mind to our consumers, our products have been certified as 100% Vegan by the non-profit Vegan Society. This non-profit organization, which first coined the phrase "vegan," has a strict and detailed registration process for vegan products.

A brigadier general will lead the new force, Interior Ministry spokesman Magdi el-Urfi told The Associated Press. It will be made up of former rebels who have been integrated into the nation's police force.
He said setting up the force is in preliminary stages, and officials are studying international law governing the security of foreign dignitaries and buildings.
The announcement of a new security force comes four months after an assault on the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi last September that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. The U.S. suspects al-Qaida-linked militants carried out the attack.
There has been little news of progress so far in bringing the perpetrators to justice, and U.S. officials have complained about poor cooperation with the governments of the region in the investigation.
On Saturday, militants opened fire on the car of the Italian consul in Benghazi, where the Libyan uprising began in 2011. He was not hurt in the attack. Last year, the offices of the International Red Cross were attacked and the British ambassador to Libya was targeted. He also escaped unhurt.
Libya's security sharply deteriorated
The White House signed off in late 2010 on a new counterterrorism task force in North Africa to combat what it believes is a growing threat from al-Qaida-linked militants in northern Mali, Libya and elsewhere in the region. An elite Delta Force team was sent to the region last year to set up an intelligence and targeting network.

Orient (Point)
If you hear people mention Orient and Orient Point interchangeably, they haven't been to these two hamlets. Both places share long histories as whaling, fishing, and farming communities.
But what gives you butterflies when you enter Orient by the causeway is its heart-stopping view of the Long Island Sound and Gardiner's Bay. Look out farther and you can see the Orient Beach State Park, a barrier island that is a summer playground of infinite pleasures. But the real out-of-this-world experience is after the first hard freeze: the saltwater cove of Hallock's Bay turns into a winter palace for ice boaters, who raise their masts and glide with the wind in silence and speed.

Saturday, 11/09/2010
Kick off 14:00 BST at Zimbru Stadium, Chisinau
England - Nobbs 14',32' Carter 54' Parris 88'
England began their UEFA European Women's U19 Championship qualifying campaign in Moldova on Saturday with a comfortable win over their hosts. Mo Marley's side began brightly and were a goal to the good inside the first quarter of an hour when Jordan Nobbs struck. The Arsenal midfielder added a second on 32 minutes to give England breathing space at the break. Nobbs' Gunners team mate Danielle Carter got on the score sheet ten minutes into the second half and with time ticking away, Everton's Nikita Parris wrapped up the win scoring number four after coming off the bench. In the group's other game Finland beat Armenia 5-0 to take a goal-difference advantage at the top of the table. The Three Lions' next game is on Monday against Armenia at 2pm (BST). The top two from each of the eleven first qualifying round groups go through to join top seeds Germany in the next stage along with the third-placed team with the best record against the leading pair in their section.

No use reaching back to compare Bonnie Raitt's latest "Slipstream" because according to the sticker on the cellophane, it's been 7 years since her last studio album. I checked to discover that she is touring this summer to promote this, her latest 2012 release. I think these 12 songs will make for a fan-friendly live presentation. White blues singer guitarists are not in short supply, but good ones are. I always thought Bonnie was one of the better ones. Still do.
The reasons I like this album form a short list.
1] A great mix of slow and upbeat material without ever being overpowering. Slide guitar work can grate sometimes on my poor old ears. No worries here - it's all very tasty with an acoustically pleasing blend IMO.
2] Bonnie's vocals dominate and work by others seems properly subordinated, even restrained at times.
3] Standout tracks IMO - Standing in the Doorway by Bob Dylan
- Ain't Gonna Let You Go by Al Anderson and Bonnie Bramlett
Plus the Reggae track - Right Down the Line by Gerry Rafferty (remember Baker Street)
A couple of Bonnie Raitt facts:
- has 9 Grammies,
- this album is recorded on her own label, Redwing Records
- Bonnie Raitt produced this album though a couple of tracks were produced by Joe Henry

This, though, was the toughest test.
Ole Miss came in as the league's top-scoring team, averaging 80 points. The Rebels had 39 with 11:51 remaining in the game. The shot 38.2 percent, were 7 of 17 from behind the arc and finished with five assists and 13 turnovers.
"This was our toughest game by far," Wilbekin said. "They didn't make it easy on us. We had to come out and play our best basketball. They had a lot of different weapons and we just had to try and shut them down."

Abstract: A study was carried out during 1998-2001 with the objective of, firstly, assessing the impact of cultivation on soil quality, and secondly, evaluating the effects of human and animal activities on soil erosion and range resources. A Topical Rapid Rural Appraisal (TRRA) based on rapid appraisal approaches, was conducted in three benchmark villages in Bobirwa Sub-district. A diagonistic survey report provided similar information for Kgalagadi District. Three benchmark sites were located in Bobirwa Sub-district and two others in Kgalagadi District. Soils were characterized at benchmark sites and in the laboratory for physiochemical properties. Soil erosion was monitored using embedded nail technique. At all benchmark sites, trends show a deterioration of soil quality, both in terms of nutrient depletion and poor physical properties for cultivated soils in comparison to uncultivated soils. There is visible evidence of environmental degradation of land resources resulting partly from considerable soil trampling and loosening during the dry season by livestock. During the wet season, the loosened soil is washed down elsewhere and/or deposited at watering points. The confounding effects of drought, overgrazing, poor management and ever-increasing utilization of veld products have led to the decline of a considerable number of tree and grass species.

Abstract: Grasses and forbs in Southern Africa have been understudied in terms of species richness and factor that affect diversity patterns. To gain a better understanding of factors affecting patterns of herbaceous plant species seedbank around water points, six boreholes ( three in each land zone) were randomly selected for sampling. Top soil layers of 20cm depth were sampled from six boreholes at distances of 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500, and 3000m ( the Piosphere approach) in fenced and unfenced plots to determine the density and composition of the seedbank. The samples were allowed to germinate in the growth tray (10 x 15 x 8cm³) under controlled conditions (temperature, moisture) in a green house followed by daily counting of seedlings. Herbaceous plant species diversity was analyzed by using Simpson's diversity index. Analysis of varience on herbaceous species diversity was determined using the SAS software. Herbaceous plant community clustering was determined by using TWINSPAN, a FORTRAN programme. Significant (p=0.0001) germination variants were observed along the distance from livestock watering points. Most grass seedlings recorded germinated from soil samples obtained from from fenced plots, while less than 40% of the forb seedlings were. Most of the forbs species were recorded within 400m from the water points and that soils closer to water points also contained grass seeds despite the level of degradation and /or trampling.

Congressman Roscoe Bartlett is requesting federal reimbursement for Frederick County for costs incurred by the G8 Summit. The 6th District Republican has sent a letter to President Obama, asking that the local government be repaid for providing security and other needs during these high-level talks.
In his missive, he noted that US Secret Service originally allocated $40-million for the G8 and the NATO Conference when they were originally planned for Chicago. But now the G8 talks are taking place at Camp David in the Catoctin Mountains near Thurmont, and local law enforcement and other agencies are spending money providing security and other needs. Unlike the Chicago venue, the Secret Service says the Summit at Camp David are not a "Special Security Event." "Without a Special Security Event designation," Bartlett's letter says,"none of this $40-million may be used to reimburse the considerable expense incurred in Maryland."
"We're closing our schools. We're closing our roads. We're putting extra deputies and extra State Police out. Certainly, costs are increased. And if they're going reimburse for those costs in Chicago, they out to do it here. Fair is fair," he says.
Both Frederick Police Chief Kim Dine and Sheriff Chuck Jenkins say they don't have an exact costs for G8 preparations, but they have been keeping tallies of their expenses in hopes of submitting them to the federal government for reimbursement.
The G8 Summit is scheduled for May 18th and 19th at Camp David near Thurmont. World leaders are expected to discuss the Europe's economic woes and the winding down of the war in Afghanistan.
In his request for reimbursement, Bartlett points out that this is not a Frederick County event. "This is a federal event. All of the taxpayers should pay for this. Not just the taxpayers in Frederick County, Maryland," he says.
Bartlett and Senators Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin are making requests to the president for reimbursement to Frederick County for G8 costs. So how does he think will the president respond, Bartlett was asked. "I think he understands fairness. They were going to spend it in Chicago. The event is here now, and we need to pay for it here."
In a related story, anti-drone protesters will be gathering outside of Congressman Bartlett's Frederick office on Thursday afternoon. "I wish I could be there. But unfortunately, we'll be debating the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act, on the {House} floor," he says. But he says he would like to discuss the use of unmanned drones with these citizens. "I think there needs to be a discussion across America on the use of these drones. And if that's what they want, I support them that there needs to be a discussion."
Organizers of the group "Know Drones" will hold their protest at 4:00 PM outside of Bartlett's office. They will also visit Democratic Congressional Candidate John Delaney's Frederick campaign office on North Market Street at 6:00 PM.
Opponents of drones say they are being used for surveillance of the American public, turning the entire planet into a battlefield.

A message from Department Chairwoman Cheryl B. Mwaria
Anthropology internships are designed for highly motivated students who are able to work in collaboration with their onsite supervisors and community members and are also prepared to produce a rigorous research paper based on their experience in the intern program.
The anthropology internship course, ANTH 190, is new in Fall 2010, however students have done non-credit anthropology internships in the past. Our students have worked at the Brooklyn Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, several non-profit agencies, including the Pratt Area Community Council in Brooklyn, Make the Road New York, Mothers on the Move, and the Association of Neighborhood and Housing Development. We currently have several students working with Mapping the African-American or MAPP project – an anthropology/archaeology-education project partnership between Columbia University and Hofstra University's Center for Public Archaeology.
