A small town and its hopeful citizens are about to embark on a bright new journey. Massive rusty cranes, foreign investors, and the joyful chants of cheerleaders carry the dream of a great nuclear future. Disturbed only by gigantic stinging mosquitoes, the townsfolk celebrate the atomic hurray by engraving the nuclear power plant logo on buildings and soup bowls. Amidst the apparent atomic prosperity, lies a past that no one wants to remember. An island holding terrifying secrets. Stories of shocking and horrible crimes loom on the city just like the dark clouds of mosquitoes descending on its citizens.

DIRECTOR: Pavel Koutecký , Miroslav Janek
PHOTOGRAPHY: Stano Slušný
EDITING: Tonička Janková, Martin Steklý
In the course of 13 years the crew has filmed 45 hours of images and recorded 90 hours of sound material. This truly unique material offers new looks behind the scenes of international politics in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, and also into events in a post-totalitarian country during its transition to democracy.
Václav Havel was a key figure in the great changes that took place in central and Eastern Europe in the 1990s – the film material captures his work and influence both in his country and internationally. Among the truly unique events captured on film is Bill Clinton's State visit to the Czech Republic in January 1994, the forming of the new governments after the elections of 1996, 1998, and 2002, and the preparations for, and course of, the historic 2002 NATO Summit in Prague.
Jan Saudek, Trapped by His Passions, No Hope for Rescue
- Krakow Film Festival special screening
DIRECTOR: Adolf Zika
SCRIPT: Adolf Zika
PHOTOGRAPHY: Jan Barton, Robert Bily
EDITING: Bob Sean Clark
SOUND: Pavel Dvorak
MUSIC: Claus Grabke
The full-length documentary film Jan Saudek provides a personally truthful yet harsh life story of a hero and dropout. It is presented as a grand drama, not just full of stirring, colorful photographs, but also provocative ideas, illusions and ideals. Jan Saudek became a world-renowned photographer, winning international awards and being exhibited abroad, long before he had gained recognition in his native country. He is a man who appears in many roles before the camera, often changing them, often surprising, and often shocking. However, even the most versatile illusionist is incapable of entirely hiding in the face of three cameramen in action under the supervision of a director.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Tomáš Stanek
EDITING: Jakub Hejna

Documentary detective story. Lada, a Czech traveller, finds by chance a dirty suitcase in a Swedish waste bin. It contains only a very carefully packed plastic bag full of film rolls. Lada takes all of the 22 film rolls home to Prague and has them developed. There are 756 fascinating photos from a trip of seven Asian men, probably from China. Lost Holiday tells the story of the search for these unknown tourists, based only on the lost photographs. We would like to give the photos back to them. And so the unknown men from Asia become guides on our exciting journey and we are searching through the lost photos also for the possible nature of contemporary man.

Fifty years earlier, another sea lion called Odysseus was put into the Fontana di Trevi in Rome, Italy. The animal world meets with that of humans. The beaches of the Mediterranean Sea - formerly full of sea lions - are now full of people who go on hunting tours. What is the domestication of animals, and what is the domestication of people?

Strategy of protest - hell and the others - how to be liked by God.
For four years, the orthodox priest Libor Halík has been singing psalms aloud outside the maternity hospital in Brno. This is his everyday protest against abortions. The documentary features a man who is convinced that Czech people prefer laziness to hard-working Christian love, that abortion is murder, homosexuality is perversion, and atheism is a deadly sin. His prayer guard outside the "abortion factory" meets with opposition, but he still goes on holding the cross and saying: You can never be a prophet in your own house and land.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Alexandru Solomon
SCRIPT: Alexandru Solomon
This is a love and hate story built around something no one can see or touch: radio waves. During the 80's, Radio Free Europe was the secret relief and confidant of its Romanian listeners. The Radio was Ceausescu's most important enemy; he even hired Carlos the Jackal to close it down.All the protagonists of this story confront themselves once more in COLD WAVES: speakers of the radio, along with terrorists, listeners as well as party and Securitate officials, Romanians, Germans, Americans and French altogether.
The world has changed, there are different wars now. But if you listen to the voices, you may get a better picture.

What Craft and Fine Artists Do
Craft and fine artists use a variety of materials and techniques to create art for sale and exhibition. Craft artists create handmade objects, such as pottery, glassware, textiles, or other objects that are designed to be functional. Fine artists, including painters, sculptors, and illustrators, create original works of art for their aesthetic value, rather than a functional one.
Work Environment
Most craft and fine artists are self-employed. Part-time and variable work schedules are common for artists. Many also hold another job in addition to their work as an artist.
How to Become a Craft or Fine Artist
Formal education is rarely required for craft and fine artists. However, many artists take classes or earn a bachelor's or master's degree in fine arts, which can improve their skills and job prospects.
The median hourly wage of craft and fine artists was $20.90 in May 2010.
Job Outlook
Employment of craft and fine artists is projected to grow by 5 percent from 2010 to 2020, slower than the average for all occupations. Employment growth of artists depends, in large part, on the overall state of the economy, because purchases of art are usually optional. Craft and fine artists may find it difficult to make a living solely by selling their artwork.

THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL: It's going to be a colorful room Tuesday night at the Versace for H&M show in New York — even more so than anyone thought. WWD has learned that Prince and Nicki Minaj will each give a performance postshow. "I am so pleased to share with so many the excitement of this collaboration with H&M," said Donatella Versace. "To have my friend, the great, the amazing, the one and only Prince, and the extraordinary Nicki Minaj both perform at the event, will create exactly the feeling of joy and glamour I want this partnership to express." Perhaps given the collaborative nature of the evening, a duet will be in order.

The hotel is quiet, clean and comfortable, with a very nice pool area, and its location is surrounded with stunning countryside views. The hotel bar is... rather sparsely stocked, the inclusive breakfast leaves a lot to be desired, and there are no other facilities for food or drink neither within the hotel itself nor in the immediate surroundings. The nearest restaurants and bars are a good 15 minutes walk down the hill to Fiesole (road has no pavement) and public transport is sporadic. The staff, though friendly, also seem to have little knowledge when it comes to getting out and about with public transport so a car is essential here. by a Hotels.com guest on 19/07/2012

Learning to sew can seem overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Take things one step at a time with these lessons and tips.
A homemade gift is always well remembered... even the smallest ornament has emotional attachment when someone knows it was hand made just for them.
Not all bedrooms are large enough to have a nightstand on both sides of the bed... but that doesn't mean that you don't need a place to put things. Especially with all of the electronics and more and more people just keeping a cell phone rather than land line telephones. Keeping the phone in bed with you may seem convenient but it's a great ay for the phone to end up overheated and ruined. This weeks free pattern is for a bedside organizer that will keep your cell phone and tablet close at hand but secure at the same time. If you have someone on your gift list that will be spending some time healing in bed, now is a great time to make them one of these bedside organizers as a holiday or get-well gift.
I bet you have your kitchen and dinning room all decorated for Thanksgiving... but now Thanksgiving is over and the Christmas decorations will be coming out of storage... where does your kitchen stand for the next holiday decorations? You can easily transform any of the Christmas print fabrics in to things for your kitchen... imagine matching or coordinating hanging hand towels, small appliance covers and table clothes. You can do it for a lot less than it would cost to buy them... if you could even find them at a store.
The gift list can easily grow out of control by the time Christmas Eve gets here. You have so many people who make a difference through out the year to remember. You wouldn't want to forget the teachers, baby sitters, newspaper carrier, mail person and club leaders that give to your children all year long! I can tell you first hand that those people end up with all kinds of dollar store stuff that although it is appreciated, it will probably never be used... but there are all kinds of things you can make that are bound to be used! The best part is that if you use mass production techniques, you can make a pile of gifts in one weekend.

California Condor
This adult male California condor, named Topatopa, hatched in the wild in Ventura County in 1966, but was found abandoned the next winter. Since 1967, he has resided at the Los Angeles Zoo, the world's only captive California condor until 1982. After almost 23 years alone, he was paired with a captive-bred female, Malibu, and since 1993 they have been producing offspring in captivity.
The California condor, Gymnogyps californianus, is the one of the largest flying birds in the world. When it soars, the wings spread more than nine feet from tip to tip. Condors may weigh more than 20 pounds. The male Andean condor of South America is even larger than our California condor. Both are endangered species.
"Gymnogyps is not as heavy as a big turkey and its wings are not as long as those of the wandering albatross. Its only claim to uniqueness in size is that it has the largest wingspread of any North American land bird."
Carl B. Koford, THE CALIFORNIA CONDOR (1953)
Condors can soar and glide for hours without beating their wings. After rising thousands of feet overhead on air currents, California condors will glide long distances, sometimes at more than 55 miles per hour. From the air, they search for dead animals, like deer or cattle. They feed only on carrion (dead animals that they find).
Condor nest sites are in cliff caves in the mountains. Some condors have nested in large cavities in the trunks of giant sequoia redwood trees. Nesting condors raise only one chick at a time. The four-inch long egg is laid in late winter or spring, and it takes two months to hatch. It takes more than a year from the time the egg is laid until the young bird has learned to live on its own.
Thousands of years ago, California condors lived in many parts of North America, from California and other Pacific states to Texas, Florida, and New York. In recent centuries, this large vulture was found by early explorers and settlers from British Columbia in Canada to Baja California in Mexico. As people settled the west, they often shot, poisoned, captured, and disturbed the condors, collected their eggs, and reduced their food supply of antelope, elk, and other large wild animals. Eventually, condors could no longer survive in most places. By the late 1900s the remaining individuals were limited to the mountainous parts of southern California, where they fed on dead cattle, sheep, and deer.
San Diego Wild Animal Park condor breeding facility
Most causes of death in the past two centuries have been from human activities. For nearly 100 years it has been illegal for anyone to kill California condors. But illegal killing was not the only problem that these birds faced. A major problem has been contamination from lead fragments in carcasses, poison bait, and environmental pollutants. Contamination from past use of the pesticide DDT may have prevented the hatching of some condor eggs in the recent past, and human activity in the condor nesting range has been followed by growing numbers of ravens, which threaten condor eggs and nestlings. Accidental collision with wires and structures is a risk to condors, as well. There have been so many problems facing the condor for so long that the species was not going to survive in the wild without help from people.
Today, lead poisoning is a serious problem for the birds in the wild. In an effort to get the lead out of condor range, the Governor signed a bill in 2007 to create a "non-lead" zone relative to hunting within the range of the California condor. Later in 2007, the California Fish and Game Commission adopted regulations to implement this law.
The California condor has been protected as an endangered species by federal law since 1967 and by California state law since 1971. |
In the 1970s, biologists found that only a few dozen condors remained in the wild. In 1980, a major conservation project was started to try to keep the birds from becoming extinct. Many special studies were made. Radio transmitters were placed on the wings of some of the condors. Wild eggs were collected and hatched at the Los Angeles Zoo and San Diego Wild Animal Park, and this helped to increase the population. A few birds were taken to the zoos for captive breeding. But this help came too late to stop the decline in the wild bird population, so in the mid-1980s all of the remaining condors in the wild were captured and taken to zoos.
In April 1987, the last wild condor was captured. The entire world population of the species was 27 birds, and all were housed in two captive breeding facilities in southern California. These individuals were Topatopa, captured in 1967; nine once-free-flying adult and immature birds trapped from 1982 to 1987; four young birds removed as nestlings from nests from 1982 to 1984, and 13 captive-reared condors hatched from eggs removed from nests in 1983 through 1986. Some are very closely related , but others possibly represent distant relatives. Genetics studies of this remaining gene pool indicate that among the14 birds considered to be "founders," there are three genetic groups, or "clans." Captive breeding must be carefully managed for a number of reasons, such as minimizing loss of genetic diversity. |
12-hour old captive-hatched Condor Chick
It was hoped that by raising young condors and releasing them to the wild, the species would be given another chance. But, nobody knew for sure whether captive breeding would be successful. It didn't take long to find out.
The first condor chick hatched out in 1988. Within a few years, it was clear that captive breeding was working. The captive condors had produced more than 100 eggs by 1994. Nearly 20 chicks hatch each year at the three captive breeding centers. The total population grew from 27 birds in 1987 to 161 birds by mid 1999.
Captive-bred condors have been released to the wild in southern California since 1992, and more condors are being released each year. Another wild condor populations is being started in the same way in Arizona.
Condors don't reach adulthood until they are six or seven years old. They can live for 40 years or more--much longer than most other kinds of birds. |
This effort is directed toward developing two distinct reproducing populations in the wild and one in captivity, with at least 150 individuals in each. Until then, the condor population would still be in danger of extinction. It will take many years before we will know whether the condor population will be able to survive.

More on Graphic Arts Schools
Almost anyone can attend the schools that teach Graphic Arts. For those that have an income level that does not generate enough to pay for these classes there is an abundance of financial aide available. There are government grants that individuals can file for that will cover all expenses, including books and supplies, and student loans are there to help support a student while attending classes. These loans are guaranteed by the government and are set to be repaid after the student has graduated and has found substantial employment. There are financial aide councilors at virtually every school that will explain about these grants; how to get them and what they will cover. This is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable fields to get into in the world today and it should offer the flexibility for a person to use his or her imagination in order to produce work that not only can make them proud, but that others will appreciate as well. Many people notice good artwork and will find your work fascinating. If you could be interested in becoming a talented and gifted artist, then find the local Graphic Arts School in your area and find out just what they have to offer.

How absurd. Ventura's beaches are starved for sand due to the Matilija dam. Whatever we get from the longshore currents ends up at the poorly engineered harbor and is then pumped down the beach to Oxnard which then pumps their harbor sand around the corner to Hueneme and it all ends up in the deep water canyon off of the Mugu Navy base. Have you seen how great the beaches are in Oxnard? Why not run a pipeline back up to the Ventura River and pump the sand back into Ventura and keep our beaches supplied?
Huh?!?... Yeah "absurd"..... That's just the word I had in mind.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India made whole lot of decisions at the working committee meeting on April 7. A vast majority of people have been led to believe that the Board has come down heavily on Team India. I am not sure I can even begin to subscribe to such theories since I think much of what has been said is to quell the criticism.
An attempt has been made to tell us that the failure in the World Cup was because India does not have fast and lively pitches. The twin batting failures came on sluggish tracks in Port of Spain and had nothing to do with the fact that India does not have too many strips that can be branded lively, let alone fast.
There are some other decisions made in the meeting in Mumbai that defy comprehension and come across as hurried and not well thought out. For instance, the Working Committee has accepted that a change in the manner in which the selection commission is formed and the need to pay the selectors for their efforts.
Of course, this has been a long standing demand but to time it with the World Cup debacle is to cast aspersions on the selectors who did a good job of picking the best possible side (Ramesh Powar, Mohammed Kaif and VVS Laxman would only have been warming the benches, you see).
This is also a clear attempt by the BCCI mandarins at populism. There has been so much talk about how the players have focused on making money that the Board has felt the need to hurt players' incomes. There has been a section in the Board which has sought to cut the players to size, by tightening the purse strings.
It should not be long before some player – or even a sponsor – takes BCCI to court. At this point of time, players may be too shell shocked to even react to the diktat that players cannot enter endorsement deals with more than three corporates at a time. Or, to the directive that more than two players cannot endorse a product.
I am disappointed that the selection committee was rushed into naming Rahul Dravid as captain for the series in Bangladesh. There has been no analysis of his less than imaginative captaincy in the World Cup. On a pitch on which Bangladesh used three left-arm spinners to stifle India, Dravid's handling of the bowling left a lot to be desired.
His reluctance to use Virender Sehwag's off-spin until Bangladesh needed just 32 runs was as striking as his decision to employ Sachin Tendulkar in a seam-up rather than spin bowling mode. And in the game against Sri Lanka, Sehwag was not pressed into service at all, shocking when you consider how the island team stacks left-handers in its line up.
Obviously, with coach Greg Chappell having indicated his desire not to seek extension of his stint with the Indian team, the Board did not want to rock the unsteady boat too much more. But if cricketing decisions were made with a bit more thought rather than as knee-jerk reactions, the Indian team may have emerged from the depths it has sunk to.
There has to be a deeper reason – and it has to do with lack of application and a mental strength. These are issues relating to player insecurities that need to be dealt with. There must be some thought into how players have apparently worked against coaches like John Wright and Chappell
Above all, I see no bid to ensure that the team concept is ingrained in the minds of India's cricketers from the junior level. Often we see players place themselves and their ambitions ahead of team needs, however subtly. There is an urgent need to ensure that all players, big and small, understand that team has to come before self.
If this is not implanted in young minds, there is no chance that it can be achieved when players make it to Team India and establish themselves as individual stars.

BCCI decisions aimed to quell criticism

Raj, nice material. I'm really hoping someone takes the BCCI to court. There are contract laws pertaining to labour, and the BCCI's legal group needs to read up on them. I wrote an irate outburst against the BCCI's latest comments on my blog (http://eye-on-cricket.blogspot.com) and plan to continue writing on this.

Raj: Agree with you. BCCI has very cleverly pinned the blame on the players and have taken this opportunity to cut them to size. Your remarks about the Board pandering to populism is spot on.
We have heard all these promises (selectors, pitches, domestic cricket, cricket academies, etc) at one time or the other. Why should we believe them now?
India is one series win away from these promises going by the wayside. If accountability is the new mantra then lets start right at the top - BCCI. - 4:14 PM

Nice article.
p.s.(I dont have a "google" blog and hence unable to post comments on your site. And so using Homer's considerable shoulders to fire away!) - 4:41 PM

The most "positive" decision has been not appointing tendulkar as captain. The board itself, has always been political, more interested in their own interests. So the board doesn't lose. The international players have their endorsements. The fans will be back after 2 victories over Bangladesh (the BADLA tour) and Ireland (the EGO BOOST tour). The only loser is indian cricket.
- G Rajaraman said...
samir, many thanks for your note on the blog. the problem with labour laws and cricket is that the players are not really the employees of the board. most of them they do not want to chuck their jobs and opt to be professional cricketers employed by the board. i guess the system will need to change and state associations must start employing all players rather than just hire a couple of professionals from other states.
- G Rajaraman said...
Mephistopheles: Can't agree with you more but who is the BCCI really accountable to. The more I think the more I am convinced that it is accountable basically to itself. If it functions well as a corporate and its cricket team does reasonably well, I guess it is being accountable to itself. If it does not perform well either as a corporate or as a cricket team, the market forces will take over and ensure that it does not have the kind of cash it now boasts of. So, if it starts being more accountable to itself rather than to the millions of anonymous stakeholders, it will do well for itself and the nation.
- G Rajaraman said...
sfx (through homer): many thanks. means a lot to be noticed.
- G Rajaraman said...
The Comic Project: I wasn't too happy with the decision to retain Dravid as captain. For, one of the reasons we didnt do too well in the World Cup was unimaginative captaincy (on the field, I dare say). I am glad they did not go back to Tendulkar or Ganguly.

If you had to sum up Tech N9ne's lyric content up how would you describe it?
I had a argument today with a chick who said she has listen to all the songs i have played by Tech and he spits the same content as every other rapper on the radio! WOW yeah i know right?Albums i was playing was Absolute Power and All 6's and 7's,.
She's a metal head and imo i think Tech's content is the same as most metal artist. What your opinions?
I think tech touches on a wide range of topics from the masogonistic to the introspective. As an avid follower for over a decade I would like to see more depth conceptually. Certain songs that cover his lifestyle from touring , rapping and groupies can get redundant imo. I wanna hear tech step outside of his normal comfort zone and produce music that is brutally honest and highly narritave with his inner most fears and insecurities.

Here's why unemployment has fallen and why it will rise again soon
The month-by-month figures show that the labour market is weaker than commonly thought.
By David Blanchflower Published 24 October 2012One of the biggest puzzles economists are dealing with in relation to the Great Recession is why it is that the United States had approximately twice the increase in unemployment or decrease in employment compared to the UK for approximately half the fall in output. In the recovery phase, US output has surpassed pre-recession levels while less than half of UK GDP has been restored. In contrast, employment in the US is below what it was at the start of the recession in January 2008, while in the UK employment is up slightly, from 29,482,000 in January 2008 to 29,560,000 in August 2012.
The two measures used to calculate employment in the US, based on a household survey and a firm survey, show slightly different amounts still to be restored. In the case of the former, civilian employment is down 2.3 per cent, while in the latter, non-farm employment is down 3.3 per cent.
Commuter traffic
The most unexpected figures recently were the big drops in the UK's headline unemployment number and rate. However, the way the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reports the numbers – as three-month rolling averages – doesn't really help us understand what is happening.
It turns out that this occurs because of concerns about the variability of sample estimates that arise because the survey from which the numbers are extracted – the labour force survey (LFS) – is underfunded and sample sizes are so small that there is a lot of month-to-month variation.
If, for example, you go to the latest data release on unemployment rates from Eurostat, the statistical agency for the EU, you find that there are unemployment rates for August for 22 EU countries, including even tiny Cyprus and Malta; Hungary has data up to July, while Estonia, Greece, Latvia and the UK have data through to June only. It's time to fix this, Mr Cameron; it's embarrassing.
Monthly data is available, however, on the ONS website, even though it is not designated as what we call "national statistics", which are used to calculate the rolling averages. The table illustrates the problem. The headline numbers were that the unemployment rate was 7.9 per cent, down from 8.1 per cent, and unemployment was 2,528,000, down from 2,577,000, marked in red in the table. These are derived as rolling averages, so the 7.9 per cent is the average of June to August, while the 8.1 per cent is the average of March through May, and similarly for the unemployment numbers as well as the employment and inactivity rates.
What does stand out is that the drop in unemployment in August to 2,421,000 (from 2,633,000 in July) looks like an outlier, not
least because of the huge increase in inactivity of 280,000 and a fall in employment of 32,000. Something strange appears to be going on. Note that employment fell in the past two months, from a June peak that is probably distorted by the Olympics, as well as by young people who may not be entering education, in part because of the increase in tuition fees. So the unemployment rate is likely to rise; the Bank of England agents in their October report suggested that there would be "little job creation" in the private sector over the next six months and their past predictions have been reliable.
Why hasn't employment been as weak in the UK as in the US? I have two plausible explanations. The first relates to eastern Europeans and the other to interest rates. In contrast to other EU countries, in 2004 the UK, along with Ireland and Sweden, opened its borders to workers from the "A8" accession countries (the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia). But the UK
restricted access to state benefits. On 1 January 2007, Bulgaria and Romania joined the EU; workers from these two countries were given much less open access to the UK labour market than those from the A8. (I refer to the group of ten eastern European countries as the "A10".) Approximately a million workers from these countries registered to work in the UK and signed up for National Insurance numbers. The vast proportion of these workers, when interviewed at the borders, said they had no intention of staying permanently.
This represents a problem because they were not picked up in the LFS or in the population weights used to generate national estimates,
although their consumption would have been picked up. These folks from the A10 were, in essence, commuters – once the economy collapsed, they returned home and either did not work at all in the UK or severely restricted the numbers of days they worked. This would be picked up by a drop in GDP.
Mea culpa
By way of illustration, suppose there were a million A10 workers in the UK in 2008 who worked ten three-week spells. Assuming 50 weeks a year for simplicity, that is the equivalent of 600,000 workers who weren't counted in 2008. In 2012, there are only 800,000 workers who show up; on average they work three spells of two weeks. That is equivalent to a drop in employment of about half a million. So the drop in employment since then has been understated, although by how much is unclear because we don't have precise estimates.
Another contributing explanation is that wages have become more flexible in the UK, because of the high proportion of homeowners who have variable-rate mortgages in this country compared to those in the US. In the US, those with fixed-rate mortgages could refinance as interest rates fell but, as credit conditions tightened for most people, that option was off the table. In the UK, workers were less resistant to reductions in hours and pay freezes than they might have been if they hadn't had big reductions in monthly payments on their mortgages. As a result, any increase in interest rates before growth is fully restored would have a major downward impact on consumption and GDP.
I was wrong on the latest figures, to the delight of some of my Twitter followers, but I suspect unemployment will rise sharply again, and soon.

Wishfull thinking Danny but wrong..
' The number of people out of work in the UK has fallen to its lowest total for more than a year.
Unemployment fell by 49,000 to 2.51 million in the three months to September, taking the jobless rate to 7.8% from 7.9%. '

To David Blanchflower , I watched question time last , I thought at first Damian Green was annoyed, but looking at him he was confused and flustered, he could only come back the useless rhetoric we have 1% growth !! all they have done is somehow grab back the 1% we a year ago, then the ( its labours fault card was played ) Mr green move on, without investment we are going nowhere , we pulled the banks back from oblivion and now they have to start playing a more involved role, they must be forced to lend, Germany's industry is strong because the government and the banks got stuck in and made the required money available, I am retired and comfortable, but even I am watching what I spend, there is no confidence in this government and their plan A.
All governments massage the employment figures, one little fact is that employment has gone down because a large amount of people have taken part time work on the minimum wage, we have a lost generation of youth, the majority of them have a very bleak future, none of the parties will or want to do anything, the MP's, all of them , are self serving opportunist.
I still advocate, not workfare, but employer of last resort, preferable in jobs that are not being done. This is a way of getting the money into the economy. Unfortunately the reduction in taxpayer funded labour for big business would mean a short term reduction in profit (and top management bonuses).
Still Tories have previous for rigging unemployment figures (the favorite used to be 'seasonal adjustment' )
What is sad, and unsurprising, is that Nye Bevan's accusation that Tories are "lower than vermin" still holds true sixty odd years on.
The most probable explaination of why unemployment seems to have dropped is that:
Once you have been unemployed for 12 months or longer you are put on The Work Programme with a Private Provider, once on this abomination of a Programme you are automatically taken off the official unemployed figures, however you still sign on and claim full Jobseekers Allowance, so your still unemployed.
It's all a fiddle, cooking the books yet again, to make the government look like their making an impact on unemployment - what a joke.
Classic Tory tactic, I remember the awful Employment training scheme of the 80s, designed to keep the unemployment figures down.
Taxpayers loses out twice, paying benefits and the cost of a scheme that fails to work.
The current Labour tactic is to reduce employment by paying for people on the country's credit card promising them the world to win their votes to propel the elite to power.
I'll tell you what happens with impossible promises. You start with far-fetched committments. They are then pickled into a rigid dogma, a code, and you go through the years sticking to that, out-dated, misplaced, irrelevant to the real needs, and you end in the grotesque chaos of a Labour government– a Labour government! – destroying UK Industry, quadrupling the national debt, running down the educational life chances of kids and causing the worst structural deficit of any major economy.
So you prefer the taxpayer to lose twice Inastew, keep doling out JSA and pay billions for schemes that don't work.
Why is devising a work scheme that works is an impossible, you seem to prefer unemployment, which requires more government, whereas more employment means less government.
Please remember, this government has just closed the Ford Transit Van plant in Southampton.
What about the £600Bn Labour borrowed and spent
- fueling the deficit
- eroding educational standards
- crippling UK industry
- not protecting the NHS allowing it slip behind other countries.
- starting an illegal war
Fox what about the Labour approach of getting the taxpayer to pay 10 times? All done out of corrupt biggotry to propel a small elite to power at the expense of the national interest.
Inastew, temper temper, no one likes a sourpuss.
You seem to forget that the much vaunted Plan will mean Osborne will have borrowed and spent £600 Billion within 5 years, but the great mystery is the borrowing post 2015, you seem to be very silent on that Inastew, why is that?
I appreciate you hanker for training schemes that cost billions, and whose sole purpose is to keep the unemployment figures down. You also have to remember that these schemes were done on borrowed money as well.
Do you remember Training and Enterprise Councils, another blast from the past, that cost taxpayers a whopping fortune.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The India Fund, Inc. (NYSE: IFN) (the "Fund"), a closed-end management investment company, announced today that it will pay a dividend of US$0.062 per share on October 18, 2013 to all shareholders of record as of October 3, 2013. The dividend represents the undistributed amount of the Fund's net long-term capital gains for the 2012 calendar year. The per share amount of the dividend assumes that the semi-annual repurchase offer for up to 5% of the Fund's outstanding shares is fully subscribed. If the semi-annual repurchase is not fully subscribed, the final per share amount of the dividend may be lower than the amount announced today, due to a higher amount of shares remaining than the number of shares estimated in calculating the per share dividend amount. A second press release will be issued after the repurchase offer expires and the dividend rate per share is confirmed.

Griffin Spider Vise
Sale price: Clearance price: Starting at: Sale starting at: Clearance starting at: Reg. price:
Great for beginners and expert fly tiers alike, the Griffin Spider Vice is an easy-to-use USA-made, true rotary vise. Constructed of high-quality heat-treated steel, the Griffin Spider Vice's jaws will hold hooks from 4/0 to 28. Aluminum C-clamp and swing-arm bobbin rest included. Manufacturer's lifetime warranty.
Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 9
Rated 5 out of 5 by SwattinFlies Great value
For 15 years I have used single-axis, clamp down, inexpensive vises. I felt it was time to move up to a rotary model, but I wasn't willing to pay $150-200+.
The Griffin Spider Vise has been a joy to use. It makes hackle wrapping, body dubbing and applying tight even chenille a breeze. It handles very small to medium hook sizes nicely.
Only disadvantage would be it is not ideal for spinning deer hair bass flys, because packing the hair requires something sturdier. Although, the Spider is great for trimming the hair, it allows you to get at all angles.
I definitely feel I have spent my money well.
May 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by adadkins1 Great buy!
I found this vise to be a great investment for a beginner or experienced tyer. I have probably tied about 500+ flies on this vise and it hasn't given me many problems The rotary feature works great, and is a great help when tying wooly buggers, or any other flies that require lots of wrapping. The bobbin cradle is O.K., but it has a tendency to slip down the shaft of the vise if you accidentally hit it. The only other issue I have is the fact that there is some "play" with the jaws. I.E. when really applying some pressure to the thread the jaws move up and down. However this can be remedied with a little flat waxed nylon to ensure a snug fit.
Overall an excellent entry level vise.
November 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by MAD777 Super value!
Just began tying flies by buying a all inclucive kit and was "hooked." But, even I could tell that the vise was the weak link in my learning curve. However, like many others have said, I didn't want to spend a fortune on a vice (one can certainly do that) so I went with the least expensive, rotary vice I could find - the Griffin Spider. It completely changed my whole level of enjoyment of tying flies! And, since this was such a value, I also purchased the pedestal base, which gave me the ability to turn my work at different angles - then I got the parachute attachment, to make up for my lack of coordination required for those flies. Even with all these accessories, I still spent less than the next highest price vice. That's what I call value! I'm not an expert, but I cannot imagine a vice working better than this one, so why spend more?
May 14, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by notenuftoys Great first vise
I've just started tying flies and didn't want to spend a bunch of money on a high-end vise only for it to sit and gather dust a year from now. But I wanted something a little better than $20 vise. After reading review after review I decided the Griffin Odyssey was the way to go. Wow! Great vise for the money! I've tied about 40 flies so far, from #2 clousers to #18 nymphs, and the jaws hold them all nice and tight. And it's a good thing I saved money on the vise; my material inventory has grown substantially!!

Question by LianeMJ 169 · May 16 '12 at 11:37 PM · organ-meat paleo organs
OK the thought of brains and liver kind of freaks me out - but if I were going to start incorporating some real Paleo foods like this into my diet - what to ask the butcher for first, and how to prepare it to ease myself into stuff like this?
I used to think eel was gross too until I had it at a sushi restaurant and discovered I love it. I'll try anything once. :)

Beef heart tastes just like any other muscle meats.
Answer by invisible ink 2711 · May 17 '12 at 12:28 AM
I've tried preparing beef liver and I can't eat it but I enjoy US Wellness grassfed beef Liverwurst and Braunschweiger. They contain liver (from grassfed cows) the liverwurst has beef heart in it as well and maybe kidneys if I'm not mistaken. It's the easiest way for me to get my share of organ meats. Also you could try buying grassfed "pet burgers" which are ground beef mixed with organ meats. I've made meatloaf with pet burger mixes and have enjoyed them. You could try doing a mix with regular ground meat if you're afraid of being overwhelmed.
Answer by Dragonfly 32775 · May 17 '12 at 12:04 AM
Try the chicken liver paté recipe. (Scroll 1/2 way down the page.)
It's much more mild than beef liver.
Answer by Wisper 2079 · May 17 '12 at 01:19 AM
Liver pates seconded. Also, braised chicken hearts. Use red wine for cooking it, generous amount of onions to caramelize. It's like candy.
Answer by Marcy 1 4387 · May 17 '12 at 01:36 AM
To me, a lamb heart tastes pretty fantastic. Tender, lamby, and not super mineral-y. I saute onions, mushrooms, parsley, garlic and spinach and then stuff the cavity of the heart (you can google this for instructions). Then I wrap it in bacon and bake it. If you can handle stuffing a heart cavity without developing PTSD symptoms, I think you are on your way to a full paleo lifestyle! I highly recommend not over-thinking what you're eating. It is just a unit of food, so packed with nutrients that your body will thank you for days. Don't think of it as a heart...
I second the above answers about liver pate. I recently made pate (by just food processing my leftover liver and onions and adding a ton of spices and some olive oil) and then wrapped ground beef around that for pate-stuffed burgers. I am telling everyone about this because it was VERY tasty and I think it would be great for someone struggling with organ meats.
If you are really against the liver taste, I suggest cooking it but then not eating it until the next day. For whatever reason, when I re-heat liver the taste is so much more mild. It takes awhile, but you will really start liking these things!
Answer by Steven 6 423 · May 17 '12 at 02:01 AM
I jumped in with both feet the other day and sautéed some calf livers in butter and Worcestershire sauce. Enjoyed it quite a bit.
Answer by Sam 6 1344 · May 19 '12 at 07:47 PM
Liver was something I had to get used to. First time was awful (and overcooked → not sure if correlation or causation), but tasted better the second time and my body now asks for it weekly.
Heart was something I loved immediately. It's actually just muscle meat and in my opinion the tastiest one.
Kidneys was the one I feared the most but that seemed unnecessary.
Those are the three organ meats I eat weekly now. Tongue and sweetbreads are next on my list.
All of them I just cooked in coconut oil to see how it tastes on itself, now I mostly cook it with onions, garlic and cut up sweet potatoes. And I hope most people will remain their "ick feeling". Keeps these delicious meats dirt cheap.
Answer by jlharmon 237 · May 20 '12 at 04:26 AM
I used to be a huge fan of fried chicken gizzards and livers dipped in gravy...but clearly that's no longer allowed (unless I found the perfect almond flour batter, fried it in coconut oil, and made grain-free gravy-ha)
I have had cow tongue (not sure if that's considered an "organ" but I'm no scientist haha) we "peeled" it then grilled it like a steak and I thought it was pretty amazing. Even got my picky sister to try it, telling her it WAS steak.
Other than that, I too should take more advantage of the odds and ends of the meat department.
Answer by Wowza 1513 · May 20 '12 at 04:35 AM
Sweetbreads. Tender, delicious and very simple to make.
Answer by Heidi 1 4108 · May 17 '12 at 01:09 AM
You can make your own homemade liverwurst and sausages containing liver where you mix ground pork, liver, herbs and spices. It might be a good way to ease into cooking and eating liver--you could slowly increase the amount of liver too if you wanted to start out slow. I love liverwurst! Here's a decent recipe:
Oh, and I hate liver plain, plus eating heart or brain still isn't going over well for me. This is about as far as I go so far, but I do really like it.

Wheels West giving away car at Sober Grad
One lucky high school student will have the opportunity to win this Saturn Ion, donated by Wheels West, at Sober Grad. Photo by Ruth Ellis |
Friday, June 1 — Students attending the annual Sober Graduation festivities will have the opportunity to walk away with a new car.
Wheels West owner Jason Rieger will be giving away a 2006 Saturn at this year's event scheduled for Friday, June 1 at the Lassen County Fairgrounds.
Rieger said he wants to give a car away because, "The town means a lot to me. I don't just want to be a place to buy cars. I want to be part of the whole community."
He was born and raised in Lassen County. Rieger's father was a teacher both at Lassen High School and Lassen Community College, but he moved away after graduating eighth grade from Diamond View School.
However, Rieger said his former classmates invite him to the high school reunions and he has a lot of fond memories of the people he grew up with, some of whom have become teachers at the high school, police officers or guards at the prison.
This year marks the 27th Sober Grad. The all-night event includes inflatables, games, dancing, movies and breakfast.
The culmination is the presentation of prizes donated by community members, organizations and businesses.
Rieger said he thinks it is important for the students to have a safe place to go and things to do.
"If the prizes are really good prizes, then more kids are going to go and more kids are going to be off the streets," he said.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
BRUSSELS (AP) -- French President Francois Hollande says the leaders of the 17 countries that use the euro are holding an unplanned meeting in the middle of the night to talk about emergency measures that might lower the borrowing rates of Italy and Spain.
Leaders of those two countries say their current borrowing rates are unsustainable. And they have refused to give their final approval to a proposed (euro) 120 billion ($149 billion) stimulus plan unless immediate measures are taken to help them.
Hollande also said early Friday that discussions on the future deepening of the Europe's economic and monetary union, as proposed by four senior EU officials, had been put off until October.

Title: | Contes Du Moyen Age: Chapter 2. Lanval |
Author: | Broerman, Madeline; Cianciolo, Caitlyn; Kopicky, Lauren |
Description: |
This electronic book was created by Xavier University students participating in the fall 2008 class of Medieval and Renaissance French Literature taught by Jo Ann M. Recker, SND de N., Professor of French, Xavier University. Each student selected an early French literary masterpiece from the 12th to the 15th centuries, and rewrote their selection so as to make it accessible to those with an equivalent of one year of study of the French language. Chapter 2: Lanval, a courtly love story wherin a knight now shows allegiance not to his king, country and religion, as in the earlier epic, but to his lady love. The atmosphere is a magical one ruled by a knightly code of complete submission to his lady and of absolute secrecy with respect to his love. |
