OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to
You don't care to elucidate a single principle that they stand for in that analysis
To be fair, it's not the full treatise on what's wrong with the Labour party -- I've written things approaching that elsewhere and elucidated a good many principles they ought to stand for, into the bargain. But it's not the principles, or the policies, that are really their problem -- it's strategy and organisational competence.
It's like you believe that sufficient marketing can sell any old lemon. It can't.
I suggest you relay these concerns to Messrs Key and Joyce. Belly-laughs all around.
But you're right -- I'm not suggesting that Labour should have a crap product. It's that the "product" isn't just the policy platform and motive ideology behind the party; in fact, these are a pretty small part of the product. Voters liked the policy platform; they just didn't vote for it. By and large they didn't vote for it because they lacked confidence in the rest of the package -- the people, the dysfunctional party structures that gave them the people, and because the party had failed to articulate it in ways they can care about.
Dear all of yous taking exaggerated umbrage to my comment about alienating the activist rump being a not-bad thing: As I made abundantly clear over there, I don't mean get rid of the folks who're doing the hard work and getting results – I mean that if folks can't see the reasons for Labour's decline since 2006 by now, they're never going to see it at all.
Utterance of the words "not too bad" or "just a few tweaks around the edges" or "in-touch, really" or "bring back Helen" or "Goff should stay on as leader" should be a ticket for the figurative wall. (Yes, the Key government's majority is slender, but if you think a grand coalition including Catherine Delahunty, Hone Harawira, Winston Peters and Richard Prosser has a snowflake's chance in hell you're very much mistaken. I would bet a large amount of cash money that if a re-election were needed Key would emerge with an outright majority and hold it for a long time indeed.)
That's not about hating on well-meaning folks or deriding years of loyal service, or whatever. It's to say that there should be no space in a political movement for people who can't perform, who aren't really committed to reform, or who think Labour can do better by just pushing the same old barrow a bit harder next time.
Re-educating people because of sentimental links to the party is too time-consuming; it burns resources that could be used for building a more disciplined, effective political movement. Folk who can't or won't shape up should ship out. Yes, it might mean the loss of some old hands. But if that means an influx of young blood, fresh ideas, new people and perspectives, reinvigoration, it'll be worth it.
Flame away.
OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to
It's more like a derivatives market, surely? Zero sum minus the house cut.
Technically I think it was established as a futures market. I'm not au fait with the difference between such things.
OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to
Yeah. This is why I don't do ipredict -- I would obsess and fret about it, and probably lose my shirt &c. I only gamble bottles of whisky on events that are years away, that limits my liability.
OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to
Heh, was worried I was being a bit subtle :)
OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to
How is it legal? You would have thought that gambling on (alleged) inside information would contravene gaming law, securities law or both.
It's not gambling; it's a stockmarket. One that has exemptions from securities law & is very severely constrained (in terms of value, volume and so on) such that insider trading isn't a BFD.
Thing is that for most of the preceding two weeks the ipredictions have been saying something like "if anyone but Shearer wins, he or she will be rolled by Robertson who will beat Key in 2014". Make of the whole mess what you will. At this point it's a great big political rorschach test.
iPredict has been very accurate over near-term predictions. It hasn't been around long enough to demonstrate accuracy on long-term predictions. Anyone who claims to be able to predict the result of an election three years from now is either insane, delusional, or trying to sell you something.
In the case of ipredict, it's the latter. I think what we're seeing is some jockeying now because the result of the leadership contest tomorrow will impact the price of other stocks that don't close for a long time yet.
Hard News: The Public Address Word of…, in reply to
I have a theory – the best nominations for Word of the Year stand on their own with out needing to be explained.
I endorse this theory, and think it so powerful that there's no need to talk about it any further.
Hard News: The Public Address Word of…,
There can be only one: munted. If for nothing else, Bob Parker, thank you for giving this term the exposure it deserves.
Hard News: The Next Labour Leader, in reply to
Greens to overtake Labour in number of MPs is such an absurd idea it is very hard to take seriously anyone who holds it.
On election night I was offered and swiftly accepted a bet on this premise. If Labour get a higher party vote than the Greens at the 2014 election I stand to gain one, possibly two, bottles of malt whisky, subject to the guy who proposed the bet not begging out in the next short while (in which case I win the right to mock the shit out of him for the next three years :)

As you plan your camp kitchen, there are many things to consider with regard to the dimensions, the quality of wood, and the costs for all the necessary parts. All the hinges, hooks, eyes, handles, etc will add up. Even if you do have the correct lumber, there will be costs. Taking some time to plan your camp kitchen will be the best advice I could give. There are many variations and some will certainly be more difficult to build.consider how you will use it. Simply put, you are the best judge between funtional, or taking the plans to the next lever for organizational purposes.
Now that I have already built my Chuck Box long ago and am only now beginning to write about the process, I must state that all along, I had believed I had built the Camp Kitchen out of 5/8' plywood. As I have made measurements for my plans, I have discovered I had actually used 1/2' ply.
I phoned the local lumber store to confirm, and have learned one difference than simply by measurements. With any plywood, it is made of layers. 1/2' Plywood will have 4 layers, while 5/8' has 5 layers. It is also important to note that all plywood is actually just a little smaller than its stated dimensions. This means, for example, 1/2' ply measures a little more than 3/8'.
My best tip is to make the cuts for the 4 sides, not including the 'doors', and then remeasure for the internal shelves, or in my particular case, the top shelf as only one that spans the entire length. One further note is that the top of the Camp Kitchen is actually wider than the rest of the box, which accomodates for the width of the 2 doors.
As I am not a lifetime carpenter, nor or contractor, I will not claim to be an expert in working with wood, but I have had some experience. Assuming you are also not an expert, I will point out for you to consider the blade width.
Most blade will wive a width somewhere between 1/16' and 1/8'. So, do yourself a favor and measure after each cut, and not simply make a few marks and cut.
I was not especially concerned with perfection, as I was about simply getting the job done. I don't own a table saw, so all of my
cuts were made with either a 'skill saw' or a chop saw. For my 'non-exacting' demands, I was not so concerned with absolutely perfect cuts,
The legs, and the brackets that hold them require some angle cuts, which may require a chop saw or some other more precise cutting device than a skill saw. Other than these two cutting tools, the only other tool needed would be a drill and some bits, for pilot holes.
While everyone, may not have all these tools, there may be a couple options for you. Many lumber stores will actually make 2 or 3 cuts for you when you purchase your lumber, and any additional cuts may come with a small fee.
Once you have embarked on your project, you may need to make some further cuts, such as the angled cuts forthe legs and brackets. You may be able to go to a small construction site, and 'bribe' a carpenter to make a few small cuts for you, possibly even for a 6 pack or a pizza.
As I mentioned before, I was not so concerned with perfection as I was about having a functional Camp Kitchen. I didn't use high quality lumber. I had a sheet of plywood in my garage, so I used what I had, knowing that if I wanted to have high quality lumber, it would come at a cost. If you are more concerned with having a higher quality wood, after all this is a camp kitchen, you will hopefully use for years to come, you may consider an MDF or a plywood that is finished on one side.
This 'finished' plywood is very nice on one side, which would be facing out, and the insides, are not as readily visible.
One more thing you may want to consider, would be having a wood glue for your joints, in addition to the screws that hold it all together.
Once complete, you may even consider coating everything with a poly-urithane, which will seal the wood from the elements, and should not me noticed with the naked eye.
For the legs and brackets, you will not want to use plywood of any kind, as it must be capable of supporting the weight of the chuck box and its contents.
As you plan your camp kitchen, consider that I used what I had around my home, and I happened to have some 'slats' from an old 'ikea' style bed. I am not certain of the type of wood these are made of, but they were nice in appearance, and have rounded edges. While, they were good enough for me, I did experience some splitting when driving the screws into the short brackets.
While you will be able to weather-proof your camp Kitchen with a poy-urithane or a tarp, take into consideration the legs will be exposed to the elements at least to some extent. The bottom part of the legs will be in constant contact with the ground, which in many cases may be wet.
You may want to consider treated 2x4's, which are certainly sturdy enough and already have chemicals injected ito the wood to protect them from the elements.
As I have stated, I was not overly concerned with the quality of the wood, as I had some around the house, but mostly it was a cost issue. The hinges, corner brackets, eyes and hooks, and the handles, all together were close to $100.
Lastly, I did use some 1x2's to aid in attaching the edges, rather than depending on screwing the edges together, which would not be stable enough should I have done that. This is more cost effective than having lots of corner brackets as well.
There are three additional pieces of wood, which I don't know where I got them, that support the two shelves on the inside. These are what determines the height of the shelves, which I simply match with the 1x2' at the same height I want.
I hope my descriptions of my process will help you to plan your camping box effectively, and hopefully give some insight to the many different factors to go from planning to building to actually using.

John Ritter's Doctors cleared of Malpractice Charges
It's a shame that these doctors had to go through so much grief and stress when in their hearts they (and all of their fellow colleagues) knew that they did what was right and what was best and the patient died anyway.
The treating physicians were cleared of malpractice by the jury in Glendale Superior Court.
Five years of misery for them…I'm sure it adversely affected their physical and mental health, their relationships with their friends and family and their ability to practice medicine with confidence and giving their patients the best medical treatment possible.
I know that John Ritter's family will never have their husband and father back again…but retaliation and blame is not an appropriate way to deal with greif.
Ironic that after a juried trial the doctors were cleared, and yet the hospital settled out of court for $14 million dollars.

I understand that sooner or later everyone gets sued. What I don't understand is how one is supposed to continue practicing just like normal during the multiple years it takes to get to closure. I think it would be awfully difficult to not end up questioning every decision constantly.

I have a new article on Jack Kevorkian, who is running for Congress. The article details his mental illness as assessed by a former Johns Hopkins Chairman of Psychiatry, Paul HcHugh. There is also valuable material on the issue of assisted suicide.
Thanks for your time and consideration.

Special Attention at the Rookie MinicampPosted by on May 3, 2008 – 2:18 pm
The air was a little brisk, in the upper 50s perhaps, for this morning's third practice of the Jets' weekend rookie minicamp, leading to this exchange between defensive coaches:
Bryan Cox: "Bob, you look cold."
Bob Sutton: "It's linemen's weather."
It was also special teams weather, at least for much of the 40 minutes of media availability. And while the Jets' 50 draft picks, undrafted free agents and tryouts worked on offense and defense during other periods of the practice, head coach Eric Mangini definitely wasn't glossing over the specialty work.
"Some of these guys like Vernon Gholston and Dustin Keller are getting work on special teams, which they hadn't been part of over the latter parts of their college careers," Mangini said. "Now it's something they not only have to be aware of but be involved in deeply. It's another rock on the pile."
ST coordinator Kevin O'Dea, who let's remember may be in his first practices as a Jets coach but is starting his 15th NFL season with his sixth team, was right in his element, monitoring the punting, moving players around.
The two punters in this camp are Jeremy Kapinos, who kicked in the Tennessee game last year, and tryout candidate Patrick Fisher from LSU. Their hang times were good, not great, and Kapinos made a nice save of a bounced snap to get off a field-position-saving boot. On another non-contact rush (players are in helmets but no other pads), tryout TE Chris Hopkins appeared to get a nice push, drawing "Blocked punt, blocked punt" from O'Dea.
Mangini said at his noon news conference that Kapinos and incumbent Ben Graham will battle for the job in training camp.
"We're going to look at both of those guys and give them both opportunities to state their case," the head coach said. "They've been working with Kevin, and he has a strong track record with kickers and punters, not just improving established guys but developing younger guys. That's one of the things I liked about Kevin when I interviewed him before I eventually hired him."
Another wrinkle on punt returners was No. 35 putting them away and running upfield. That number is being worn by Danny Woodhead of Chadron State, whom the coach talked about Friday.
Woodhead said the last time he returned punts in game action was in high school, although he did some PR work in practice at his Division II college.
"It's something I've done in the past," Woodhead said. "I'm comfortable catching kickoffs and punts."
Woodhead, an undrafted free agent signing in the minutes after the draft ended last Sunday night, put a nice move on sixth pick of the draft Vernon Gholston. It wasn't really a fair "fight," since it came in the "tackling drills" that Mangini likes, one offensive player vs. one defensive player in a confined area. This one again wasn't live tackling, but contact sometimes occurred, as when undrafted FA Nate Lyles met his man and bumped him to the ground.
Gholston didn't get the chance with Woodhead, who gave him a headfake and then used his 4.38 speed to motor out of harm's way.
And the little we've seen of Marcus Henry, the sixth-round WR from Kansas is, as billed, a big receiving target at 6'3½". Al Pereira, our unparalleled team photographer, took a number of shots from Friday's late workout that are now up on the newyorkjets.com home page, and two of the shots show Henry plucking a high toss like it's low-hanging fruit.
Two Jets we knew of were around the complex the last two days even though veterans are off from their conditioning workouts until next week. Long-snapper James Dearth was briefly out at practice and no doubt eyeballed two tryout snappers, Will Collins of Southern Cal and Nick Jarvis of Wake Forest. And Mangini said that second-year LB David Harris also stopped by Friday.
"David claims he was in for a workout," the coach said, "but I think it was a function of him wanting to be here and not be part of rookie weekend the way he was last year and enjoy the afternoon and see these guys. He appreciates the transition these guys are going through. He seemed a lot happier yesterday than he did a year ago yesterday."

We have no video from this minicamp, aljetman, but expect to have video from some of the OTA practices and full-squad minicamp ahead and then of course from training camp.

hey randy,DiD you know anything about jacob bender.is he practing with the rookie or not?
By MikeMc on May 3, 2008 | Reply
Glad to hear Graham will have some competition this summer. While I love Grahams toughness and character he did have quite a few shanks , I hope hes better having to fight for his job. I don't know who Kapinos is but I'm looking for hang-time, good inside the 20 directional punting, tackling ability, and able to be a solid holder for Nugent. Specials are vital for our success.
By uncle joe on May 3, 2008 | Reply
Dearth is still taking up a roster spot,unbelievable!Harris is (in my opinion)the whole face of this franchise now.Above all other players,he seems like the no nonsense,real deal.There is nothing else on his mind other than taking this organization to the next and highest level.I wouldnt expect him not to show up.Wheres Big Man Coles?
By Ira on May 3, 2008 | Reply
Randy, I guess Eric wasn't impressed with Fisher if he already said its between Kapinos and Graham this summer. Dearth is such a solid player. I think you ran a story last year about his streak of snaps that have gone without a bad one. If Gholston is smart he should pick the brain of Cox and Harris this weekend. Lowery sounds like they have something in him. Any news on Caulcrick?
By Mike on May 3, 2008 | Reply
How does the TE Listorti look, does his speed translate well against the other players?

No, Jacob Bender is technically a second-year player now and was not invited or required to participate in this minicamp.
By Ira on May 3, 2008 | Reply
Uncle Joe, Be careful of what you wish for. Dearth is like money in the bank. Just think back to the Giants playoff game vs the 49ers. That is one problem the Jets don't have to worry about. LC is a leader and will be the man in the locker room this year again. No big deal if he isn't around this weekend. Bender must have made some progress if they didn't have him join in this camp. GO JETS!!
By Randy Lange on May 3, 2008 | Reply
Ira, nothing on Caulcrick specifically yet. He looked fine in drills but we didn't see him run or catch.
By Randy Lange on May 3, 2008 | Reply
Mike, the only time I saw on Brad Listorti was a 4.72 in the 40. Dustin Keller's combine 40 time was reported to be 4.54.
By Donal on May 3, 2008 | Reply
Randy, how long can the Jets hold on to the tryout players before they have to make a decision about who to sign and who to cut?
By Randy Lange on May 3, 2008 | Reply
Donal, since the tryouts are under no contractual obligations, the Jets really can't hold onto any of them unless they sign them to rookie free agent deals. I anticipate some will be signed and most will be thanked for their time once this minicamp is over.
By Ben on May 3, 2008 | Reply
I can't wait to watch Woodhead this season, he better get some carries! I'm curious to see how Ainge does in competing with Pennington and Clemens too. I gotta say this Jets site is much better than the jets insider landing strip, I've never seen so many idiots on one site!
By frank on May 3, 2008 | Reply
Randy, is there any idea how Brett Byford is looking in the mini camp? Any idea what his chances are of cracking the depth chart?
By Dan on May 3, 2008 | Reply
Randy, did Dwight Lowery look good? From everything I have read about him it seems like he will be either a pick monster or be released at the end of the year. What about Nate Garner? He seems too slow to be a tackle.
By Jim on May 3, 2008 | Reply
Ira, as far as the Dearth comment.. ugh,,. I puposely did not recall the last guy we felt that way about. We had a longsnapper we swore by, until he blew it in a playoff(or implications) game. He was originally a Kotite guy, that's all I remember.
By mark bent on May 3, 2008 | Reply
What are the possiblities of the year old rookies being cut after this weekend camp? Is there position to compete with the rest of the guys for the spots? Or are they most likely there to help pick the new ones?
By Randy Lange on May 3, 2008 | Reply
Anything is possible, mark. Keep in mind the tryout candidates don't get cut, they just remain unsigned. But for every tryout signed after this camp, the Jets would have to release someone else from their roster, which is at the 80-man limit.
By Randy Lange on May 3, 2008 | Reply
Dan, Dwight Lowery looked good in our limited media window. I didn't watch Nate Garner at this minicamp but I talked to him today and he is one big dude who worked hard to become a starter last season at Arkansas and block effectively for Darren McFadden and Felix Jones. We'll know more soon.
By Randy Lange on May 3, 2008 | Reply
I didn't get to see much of Brett Byford at this minicamp, frank, and I can't speculate on his chances of making the roster.

randy which undrafted free agents do you think will make the team
By mark on May 4, 2008 | Reply
Will this take place right after this weekend or do they wait until the regular camp? They sign today and release today? Thanks.
By Pete on May 4, 2008 | Reply
I would guess that Dearth may be the longest tenured player on the team. Do you know if that's true Randy? It's hard to get excited about these FA guys. Even if they are pretty good and make the practice team, somebody will scoop them up based on need. I remember getting excited about Derrick Ward, the RB who was really impressing guys in camp.
By Randy Lange on May 4, 2008 | Reply
Pete, Chad Pennington and Shaun Ellis are the longest tenured current Jets. Both arrived in the 2000 draft. James Dearth is the third-longest-tenured Jet, having signed as a free agent in 2001.
By Randy Lange on May 4, 2008 | Reply
It's a fluid situation, mark. Some tryout players could be signed immediately, some could be signed before or during training camp if they're still free agents. As soon as we are told if any player has signed, we'll let you know.
By Randy Lange on May 4, 2008 | Reply
Ja Rule, reporters didn't see a lot of any of the players at this minicamp. Training camp will be a better gauge of which undrafted free agents will survive. Of course, you can tell me which FAs you'd like to see make the roster.
By Randy Lange on May 4, 2008 | Reply
Jake, we just didn't see enough of Antwun Williams to give you a good scouting report. It's good to hear that Kevin Eakin is still kicking around, though.
By Nicole on May 4, 2008 | Reply
What do you think of Zack Catanese? He got hurt but now is 100 percent. What are his chances of making the team?

Arizona State S Zach Catanese looked active and sure-handed in the little I saw of him in drills this weekend.
By Ira on May 4, 2008 | Reply
Randy, Now that rookie camp is over i can suggest something that the Jets should do.They should order all new practice jerseys and make the offense wear green and the defense wear white. It's always been the other way around and maybe the different look would be good. Just an idea.

By Ira on May 5, 2008 | Reply
Nice write up about Lowery by Cimini today. Of course its way too early to tell but maybe they struck gold again in the 4th rd. Besides Rhodes, Cotchery and leon they also have picked Smith, Fabini and Dierking in the 4th rd. Guess that 4th rd slot continues to be their lucky pick. Too bad they waived Phillips.

Michael, the veterans return to resume their off-season strength and conditioning programs and also begin their OTA (Organized Team Activity) schedule. There's a full-squad minicamp in a month and then we wait with bated breath for the start of training camp.

What is your take on the LS situation? I have heard that Dearth has some definite health issues. Nick Jarvis from Wake Forrest is the real deal and had snapped to Ryan Plackamire (WF) now with the Seahawks. Can he step up and take the job from Dearth? I heard he had a god mini camp.

remember Ian smart, he was the great story last year or 2 years ago. did a nice job in the pre season but never made the team. I think we all know what is going on here, woodhead will be great in practice and pre season but will never make the team, with miller, revis and washington all excellent return men, why would we add on a 4th RB ? unless chapman is waived, no room for woodhead. the truth.

The Jets reportedly signed Shawn McMackin. Just what we need—another undersized OG at 6'3″-287lbs. We already have one of those with OG Moore (who I hope we replace before the season starts.)

RickOLB in the 3-4 are pass rushers, they also line up at times with their hand in the dirt. Gholston will have a very important role I'm sure. Our DE's are solid with Ellis and coleman (who had a bunch of big tackles). I'm interested to see how Gholston is in coverage.

I have a big problem seeing why we didn't move Chad. He is not an icon, nor the Jets. He will make a QB controversy, just watch and see. It was a bad decision for the team to not find him a new home.

Randy, I watched danny in college. The 1st game of his freshman year he was third string at Chadron. During his 1st game the 1st string RB was hurt and the second string wasnt cutting it. Danny came in sometime in the 2nd Quarter and scored 2 td's before half. He started every game from there on out.
What i am saying is all danny needs is a shot. He has the work ethic and the get it done attitude

Row, it's a good thing we didn't move our starting QB. Chad should be the starter, he may not have the rocket arm but he's got plenty of zip. What's more impressive is his completion percentage and rating, which are both better than Clemens. Clemens may be the future, but if we want to win NOW, it needs to be PENNY AND THE JETS!

So has Dwight Lowery made the starting linup yet? I happened to catch the san jose st. hawaii game last year. Lowery is a monster ballhawk. Anytime the QB throws to his side this man creates a turnover. All American 2 years in a row. He was on Mel Kiper Jrs. top 25 board pre season. How did this guy become a 4th rounder? I am excited to see what he does. What a steal.

No offense Richard, but the last thing this team needs is another modern, cheesy new logo. The greatest gift Bill Parcells gave Jets fans besides a team we could be proud of, was the return to the original uniforms. They are classic and timeless and should be left alone. I say this knowing that Woody will no doubt change them when we go into the new stadium.

Ryan…if you don't know what the Jets and N.Y. have in common you may need to check your fanhood. The owner Woody owns the Gass Company Hess…and when he purchased the team planned the move to shea stadium where the mets play. which is next to laguardia airport..thus the Jets flying over the field.

Are they out of their minds – guys in the league can't tackle Bush, and Catanese took him down right and left, 13 tackles USC game. Bush, when asked who was the toughest tackler named Catanese. Think intelligence, finished college play a year ago, needs time to get back into drills. Jets aren't taking time to utilize quality talent. Standings reflect a need for change.

The Lord President reported from the Lords Committees appointed a Select Committee to inquire into the
Collection and Payment of Tithes in Ireland, and the
State of the Laws relating thereto; and to report their
Observations thereon to the House; and to whom were
referred certain Petitions and Papers and Accounts upon
the Subject Matter referred to the Committee; "That
the Committee had proceeded to examine into the
Subject which had been referred to them; and although
they had not yet been able to bring their Inquiries to
a Close, they think it their Duty not to defer laying
before the House their Opinion on Parts of the
Evidence which had been brought before them, and
on Circumstances which call for the immediate Attention of the Legislature: A Resistance, more or less
decided, to the Payment of Tithe, appears to have
been made in several Parts of Ireland, but more particularly in the Counties of Kilkenny, Carlow and
Tipperary, and a Portion of the Queen's County, and
supported by means of organized, illegal, and in some
Instances armed Combinations; the Danger of which
is increased by the peculiar Circumstances of Ireland;
but which, from whatever Cause they may arise, if
allowed to continue, and to extend themselves successfully to other Districts, cannot fail to be applied to
other Objects, and ultimately to subvert the Dominion
of the Law, and endanger the Peace and Security of
"It appears that the Consequence of these Proceedings
has been, that in the Districts where Resistance has
been made to the Payment of Tithes the Clergy have
in many Instances been reduced to the greatest
"The estimated Amounts, in the Districts where this
Resistance has chiefly prevailed, according to Information laid before the Committee, of Sums due for the
Tithe, are, in the Dioceses of
"It appears to the Committee that, in order to afford
immediate Relief to the distressed Clergy, it is expedient that His Majesty should be empowered to
advance to the Incumbent, where Tithes or Compositions in lieu of Tithes have been illegally withheld, or
to his Representatives, upon a Petition verified by Affidavit, Sums not exceeding the Amount of the Arrears
due for the Tithes of the Year 1831, proportioned to
the Incomes of each, according to a Scale diminishing
as their Incomes increase:
"That, as a Security for the Repayment of the Sums
so to be advanced, His Majesty should be empowered
to issue Orders to levy, under the Authority of a Law
to be passed for this Purpose, the Amount of Arrears
due for the Tithes of the Year 1831, without Prejudice
to the Claims of the Clergy for any Arrear that may
be due for a longer Period, reserving, in the first
Instance, the Amount of the Advances so made, and
paying over the remaining Balance to the legal
"That where the Tithes claimed by the Party petitioning shall be under the Operation of the Composition
Acts, the Amount to be advanced shall be regulated
by such Composition; where the Amount of the Tithe
shall have been regulated by any Agreement independently of the Composition Acts, the Amount shall be
regulated by such Agreement; and in all other Cases
by the average Amount of the Tithes which have been
really and bonâ fide paid or secured to the Incumbent
of such Parish for the Years 1827, 1828 and 1829:
"That in order to the more effectually levying the
Amount of the Sums so to be advanced, it shall be
lawful for The Attorney General to proceed, either by
Petition to the Court of Chancery or of Exchequer, or
by Civil Bill at the Quarter Sessions of the County in
which the Parish or Part of the Parish of such Incumbent is situated, against all or any of the Parties from
whom such Arrear shall be claimed as due by such
Incumbent; and that the said Courts respectively may
issue Process for the Recovery of the Sums to be by
them awarded, conformably to the Provisions to be
inserted in such Act of Parliament, and similar to
those contained in several Acts of the Parliament of
Ireland in the Years 1787, 1788, 1799 and 1800, with
such Additions or Alterations as may be thought fit
to be introduced into such Act, as adapted to the
Circumstances now existing in Ireland:
"But strongly as the Committee are impressed with
the Necessity of maintaining the Authority of the
Law, and relieving the pressing Wants the Clergy have
suffered from a Breach of it, they have anxiously
turned their Attention to the Practicability of effecting
an useful Alteration in the present System; and
although the Inquiry in which they are engaged is not
sufficiently advanced to enable them to pronounce a
distinct Opinion as to the best Means of removing the
Evils connected with the Collection of Tithes in
Ireland, enough has appeared to satisfy them, that,
with a view to secure both the Interests of the Church
and the lasting Welfare of that Country, a permanent
Change of System will be required: That such a
Change, to be satisfactory and safe, must involve a
complete Extinction of Tithes, including those belonging to Lay Impropriators, by commuting them for a
Charge upon Land, or an Exchange for or Investment
in Land, so as effectually to secure the Revenues of
the Church, (as far as relates to Tithes,) and at the
same Time to remove all pecuniary Collision between
the Parochial Clergy and the Occupiers of Land."
Which Report being read by the Clerk;
Ordered, That the said Report do lie on the Table.
Ordered, That the said Report be printed.
Then The Lord President reported the Minutes of
Evidence taken before the last-mentioned Committee, up
to the 9th Instant, inclusive.
The said Evidence was read by the Clerk. (fn. *)
Ordered, That the Prints of the Evidence be delivered
out to all the Members of the House.
Ordered, That an humble Address be presented to His
Majesty, to request that His Majesty will be graciously
pleased to order that there be laid before this House,
"The Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire
into the Practice, &c. of the Ecclesiastical Courts in
England and Wales."
Ordered, That the said Address be presented to His
Majesty by the Lords with White Staves.
The Lord President laid before the House, pursuant
to an Address to His Majesty of Monday last,
"Report from the Central Board of Health to the
Privy Council."
And the Title thereof being read by the Clerk;

Clouds spilling over mountains~Outdoor Wednesday 032311
Here in our valley, when we have a storm moving into the valley, the clouds frequently are seen "flowing" or spilling over the mountains. I caught them doing just that yesterday afternoon. I'm not sure if there is a scientific name for this, but it sure can be pretty, don't you think? I just stood and watched them move. It's surprising how such a simple thing can be so calming. Outdoor Wednesday for March 23, 2011. To see other participants, please visit: http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/

Unlike a lot of groups on Prelude, these guys didn't seem to cut a whole lot of singles or LPs, but like a lot of the Prelude stable, this album's filled with catchy club cuts. Overall, the sound's reminiscent of the the early 80s in the best possible way, tight club grooves filled out nicely with some jazzy touches but in a really accessible way. Also includes "Inch By Inch", "Strike It Up", "Hold Onto The Feeling","Bring Out The Devil" and "Give It What You Got". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Results and Discussion
Clarification and Protein Extraction
The SARS-CoV spike protein was extracted from the cells using a Triton 100 extraction buffer, which was simply added to the
solution in the filtration skid tank. The desired protein passed through the membrane and was separated from the larger cellular
components (figure 1b). The protein recovery was increased by performing a 1X diafiltration, which would result in a 75% theoretical
yield of the protein. The protein passage step proceeded with an average flux rate of 10 L m–2 h–1 . The large increase seen in the LMH value (the arrow in Figure 1b) occurred when the retentate flow rate was increased as
described in the materials and methods section above. However, the permeate flux quickly decreased, returning to the previous
steady state value.
Filtering the cells after the extraction buffer was added was expected to proceed more slowly than the initial clarification
for two reasons. First, a gel layer would already have formed on the membrane during the clarification. Second, after the
extraction buffer was added, cell lysis would have increased the number of particles in the retentate. Some of these newly
formed particles would cause additional membrane fouling.
Ultrafiltration to Concentrate Protein
The ultrafiltration step to concentrate the protein with a buffer exchange diafiltration step proceeded with an average flux
rate of 35 L m–2 h–1
(Figure 1c). The permeate flux remained constant during diafiltration and then decreased as the protein was concentrated
to the final 4X concentration. In a commercial operation, performing diafiltration and concentration before loading the HPLC
column would achieve two objectives. First, the buffer could be adjusted to the optimal buffer to load the column, and second,
the volume to load the column could be minimized.

December 18, 2012
After crunching numbers for two months, and listening to hundreds of comments from parents, a redistricting committee in Albemarle County has decided to recommend no changes to elementary school boundaries for the coming school year. The committee consists of administrators and parents.
Last week, the committee received feedback from 324 parents about redistricting plans to relieve overcrowding at Meriwether Lewis Elementary. Many parents pleaded with the committee to not force their children to switch schools.
Tuesday night, the committee concurred. The committee is recommending that the boundaries for Meriwether Lewis stay the same, even though the school is 50 students over capacity.
"There is no real demonstrated value to moving any kids from Meriwether Lewis to other schools," said committee member Kate Bakich.
To relieve overcrowding, members say the county should consider a larger expansion to Crozet Elementary in the coming years. The largest expansion plans would add space for 250 additional students at that school.
"There's at least one more proposed addition that can be made to Crozet that might be larger," said committee chair Matt Haas. "So there's more to explore there."
The committee's third recommendation is to modernize Red Hill Elementary, instead of expanding it.
The committee was united in Tuesday's decisions.
"All the members that were here tonight voted unanimously to support those recommendations," said Haas.
"I feel like our committee did a good job bridging the gap between parents and school administrators," said Bakich.
Next month, the committee will officially present its recommendations to the superintendent. Then in March, the school board will hold another public hearing before taking a vote.

The Work I Do
A highly skilled, self-taught IT professional, with a wide range of experience in mobile & web technologies both on the client and the server. Currently working in iOS development. My first app, RADIO Dandelion, a visually rich and dynamic audio streamer, driving a social media content discovery engine, is available in the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
I recently worked on two video delivery apps for Amazon and BSkyB, taking key roles in both projects. The Amazon project was picking up and adapting a large existing codebase and building a team to take it forward, the Sky project was designing a new app from scratch. Both shipped and are available on the AppStore using some of my key UI and networking components.
How I started
Typical story, I started software development as a hobby in my bedroom, on an Apple][e teaching myself 6502 Assembly Language with the help of Don Lancaster's Applewriter Cookbook. I was into electronics as well, building circuits and interfacing them with my code.
I wrote my first business by hand card in PostScript because I had managed to hack a LaserWriter motherboard into an old laser printer I'd been given. I released my first software in the late '80s on Compuserve, it was a PostScript printer driver for the Apple][gs.
The kind of work I did in the past
- Java Developer
- Through academic and commercial projects over the years, I built up a wide experience of online content management, Java, JavaScript and XML technologies. A lot of my work involved developing online web applications for managing and publishing content of different kinds, using Open Source software. I was elected a Member of the Apache Software Foundation in 2005. I am a comitter to the Apache Cocoon project. Cocoon is an Open Source project to develop a dynamic standards-based XML + XSL publishing and web application framework, written in Java. I first started using Java, XML and XSL for n Ø 1 s e, statically rendered using XSL, which explores a large set of XML content files to discover relationships between a large set of assets, people, ideas etc. and builds a site from it. Used to take about 50 minutes to run.
- Researcher/Lecturer
- The HyperMedia Research Centre is a research group based at Westminster University, set up in January 1995 by Andy Cameron, Richard Barbrook and I, as a platform for our joint research into the then emerging field of HyperMedia. The HRC ran an MA in HyperMedia Studies with 25 students per year. I used to run one of the modules, Virtual Communities. Some of my really early web design work can be seen here.
- Green Design
- In 1991 I was invited to join O2, the international sustainable design research group. We organised conferences, workshops, exhibitions and design experiments all over the world. Even though my work has moved from the physical to the virtual realm, my work still has relevance.
- Game Design
- Back in 1993, I worked on games for TripMedia. We produced Burn:Cycle and The Virtual Nightclub, for Philips. It was sheer hell but I learnt a lot.
- Furniture Design
- Between 1985 and 1992 I had a small furniture design company. I had large and small clients in the UK and Europe. Yes, I went bust like everybody else in that recession, which is how I got into computing. Here is a portfolio of some of my work. These images took several days each to render back in the early '90s.
I sometimes get invited to speak
- Break My Site at Cocoon GT '07, Rome
- LDAP & Cocoon at Cocoon GT '06, Amsterdam
- Cocoon Best Practises at Cocoon GT '04, Ghent
- Danish Design School in '98, Copenhagen

If you want a stable version of Xapian, we recommend using a released version. But if you're happy to cope with potential breakage and want to try the latest development code, or do development yourself, you can access our version control system. We're in the process of migrating to git, but currently the master repo is hosted on subversion (known as SVN for short), with a read-only git mirror.
The repository includes a complete history of the code, including that from the original Open Muscat project's CVS repository. Additionally, we recreated copy and rename operations for historic commits (CVS doesn't support copy or rename directly). We dropped CVS tags for the old nightly snapshots (and a few others which it seems highly unlikely anyone would find useful) - if you really need these for some reason, contact us for a copy of the archived CVS tree.
Note: If you just want to look at the history of a few files, you may find it easier and quicker to browse the repository online:
Currently this is a read-only mirror of our SVN repo, which is updated automatically in response to commits to SVN, so should be at most a few minutes behind.
There are also mirrors on gitorious.org and github which you will probably find more convenient to clone from if you use those sites. These are updated by the same system which updates git.xapian.org, so should be very current. There's also a git mirror on repo.or.cz which updates by polling.
Check out like so (assuming you're using git.xapian.org):
All branches should be available via git (you can list them with
git branch -r). Note that SVN tags appears as branches in git.
We recommend using git now, as we're going to fully migrate away from SVN in the near future, but should you need to work with SVN in the meanwhile, here are the details:
You can download automated snapshots, which are generated from git every 20 minutes, provided make distcheck passes on Linux. This means that some breakages are avoided, but they may still fail to build for you if you're using a different platform, or even a different version of Linux.
If you want to get a better idea of how healthy the tree is on various platforms, see the automated builds page on the wiki.

Sometimes there is a lot more than expected when making a choice, even a seemingly simple decision.
Even as I write, I'm in the process of deciding whether or not to travel south for a business meeting. Where I live and where I'm going are both situated along the coast of the Pacific, but getting there involves a 50-minute ferry ride and an hour drive, including stretches of road through higher elevations.
The decision involves checking out the weather channel (will there be rain, snow or icy conditions), ferry schedules (what time does the first one leave one terminal and arrive at the other terminal) and the bus schedule. If I'm not comfortable driving, when does the bus leave and arrive?
I've chosen to head out based on personal observation, conversation with my colleague "down south," and information provided by various online websites.
I'm also in the process of making an even more difficult decision, one I basically must make by myself: is this the time to retire? If not, what do I eliminate from my schedule to make it less stressful? If it is, how many non-revenue generating commitments do I continue to maintain? In both these cases, I simply have to make up my mind and live with the consequences.
Day in and day out, life is made up of choices. Some of these decisions are of major importance, others are minor in comparison. Some are wise and others are anything but. In all things, knowing we can trust God to direct our steps makes the important difference.
"Who is the man who reverently fears and worships the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way that he should choose." (Psalm 25:12-Amplified)
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye." (Psalm 32:8 - NKJ)
