John Embry continues:
"The question I ask myself is, 'What is going on?' The very same factors that have driven the Dow to all-time highs, which is basically just excess liquidity in the system, should, in a real world, have driven gold and silver to record highs.
Instead they are both under enormous downside pressure in the paper markets, despite the fact that the physical markets remain very firm....

"Then the question I ask myself is, 'What is bothering the powers that be to the extent that they would do this, and become so blatant that anybody with an IQ over (that of) a geranium can see what's going on?"
Eric King: "John, what do you think that reason is?"
Embry: "I think there are one of two reasons really. The pat reason is that the system is in such tough shape, and they are trying to sell the public on the fact that it isn't. Therefore, the canaries in the coal mine, gold and silver, which basically tip the public off that things are bad if they are rising, they have to be kept under control.
But I think there is another factor: I do believe the powers that be are clever enough to know what's coming and that is going to be a massive explosion in the gold and silver prices before this is over. And probably sooner rather than later.
So the people that have been front and center in the suppression, the bullion banks, I think are trying to position themselves differently so they are not going to be terribly vulnerable when the price explodes. And it's working. You see the amazing shift in the Commitment of Traders Report, where more and more of the speculators are going short, and the commercials are getting the opportunity to cover. So I think that might be a motivation too."
When asked about silver specifically, Embry responded, "I think silver is one of the most mispriced assets in the history of mankind. The very fact that it's $29, given all of the fundamentals surrounding it, and it's down $5 or $6 in the last couple of months is ridiculous.
The physical offtake in silver is enormous. Inventories in the world are minimal. This is all being done with paper, and the main culprit is JP Morgan with their massive short position. I don't know how that's going to work out, but I honestly think there is a very strong probability of some sort of force majeure on the COMEX before this is over."

Embry - Massive Silver Short Positions To Force COMEX Default
Today John Embry told King World News that in the silver market there will be a force majeure on the COMEX because of the massive short positions held by JP Morgan. But first, here is what Embry, who is chief investment strategist at Sprott Asset Management, had to say regarding gold: "I've been following the gold scene for 30 years, and I believe it's been subject to a suppression scheme for probably the last 25 years. But I have never seen anything quite like what's gone on lately."

The Baseball Cube was started in the early 2000s as a baseball links web site called Baseball-Wired. Its main purpose was for me to learn HTML and was purely a hobby. At the time, the Internet was booming and I had the urge to be a part of it. I quickly learned that compiling links was boring and baseball-links.com did it much better anyways so I started to search for a new topic. I settled on statisics because I have always liked to keep track of things. I started entering Major League Statistics and I figured out a way to use a database as a data source instead of creating separate pages for each player and so the TBC database was born. I used ASP (Active Server Pages) for pages to be created dynamically. I started to get an iota of traffic and I added a couple of banner ads. Pennies started coming in and I thought that more traffic might mean more pennies so I started to expand the stat base.
Even at the time, there were a dozen sites with up-to-date Major League stats and a couple of other established sites with historical stats so I turned to the Minor Leagues. Initially, I included minor league stats for active players and the site became an online Sporting News Baseball Register. Traffic started to pick up and so I continued to add more stats. I relied on Google search results and word-of-mouth for traffic and with the advent of blogs, bloggers began to link to The Baseball Cube. In 2003, the site was on the sports-wired.com domain and I came up with the name The Baseball Cube. In business intelligence, a cube is a dataset that is made of dimensions and facts. A dimension is an entity like a player, a year, a team, a high school, a college. A fact is a statistic. A numeric representation of any combination of the dimensions. Its a cube because the data can be twisted and turned in any direction to come up with new values and a new view of the data. On The Baseball Cube, the facts can be viewed by many dimensions.
Traffic spiked and the data expanded monthly. Historical Major League stats were added since 1903, Minor League stats for all players, not just active players, creeped back to the 1990s and eventually to the late 1970s. College stats were added and a player page for anyone with a stat record was created and biography elements added to these players. The site grew to hundreds of thousands of pages and enjoyed great success between 2005 and 2009.
The one constant since conception of the site is that as well as I can source data and program, the design of the site has always been terrible. It has gone through dozens of design changes over th years in search of the best layout that combines the content and advertising. The site needs to be monetized to pay for server bills and, lets face it, to earn revenue and compensate me for the time I put into The Baseball Cube. Lately, I've steered more towards content and though there is still advertising, I've started to ask users of the site to pay, or donate, for the free content.
The site is free and likely always will be and it will continue to expand and improve over the coming years. Thanks for visiting and please let me know how I can make it better.

Editorial: Double Gold for BritainGBR cartwheels in the 49er's Medal race of the 2008 Olympics
© Ingrid Abery/www.hotcapers.com
Ingrid Abery © CopyrightWelcome to Sail-World.Com's Olympic newsletter for Day 9 of the 2008 Olympic Sailing Regatta.
Medal racing finally got underway today in the 2008 Olympics after the first two scheduled races were postponed due to light winds on Saturday.
In contrast to the no-wind of Sunday, today there was breeze to spare, and racing took place in strong winds and big seas on Course A, outside the breakwater of the Olympic harbour.
Three Medal races were sailed but with medals only being decided and awarded in two events.
As widely expected, Britain took the Gold Medals in the Finn and Yngling classes – well on the way to their required quota of three medals from the Olympic Regatta. The third medal in the 49er class was not decided and was obviously not awarded.
The issue arises from an incident involving the Danish crew who, we understand, broke a mast on the way to the startline of the medal race, did not have time to rig a spare mast, and borrowed the available Croatian 49er. Officials and media were treated to the strange sight of a Croatian flagged boat, with Danish bibbed sailors, charging through the startline several minutes after the rest of the fleet had started.
The current situation is that the matter has been referred to the Measurers to make a determination on the request by DEN for substituted equipment. A decision is expected Tuesday.

In a race which turned into a war of attrition, the Danes desperate move, may have won them the Gold Medal – if they can get the sign-off from the Olympic Jury. Otherwise the Spanish crew will take the third Gold medal of this Olympics.
Whatever, it was one of the great races of Olympic sailing, particularly of the crash and burn genre, as the lead and five potential Gold medallists made their moves – usually only to capsize, when they each appeared to have that elusive medal in the bag.
The other two medal races went pretty much as expected, with Ben Ainslie leading from start to finish in the Finn race. He was the root cause of some wild scenes as the sailing paparazzi jostled for position in steep breaking seas, while being driven at about 15knots by Chinese drivers, who seemed to be exhibiting only marginal control. Collisions were frequent in the search for that clear shot of the Olympic hero.
At that time most of the British media appeared to be fully expecting Ainslie to get out of his Finn and jog back to shore – and wanted to be there to get the photo!

In the Yngling class it was a more sedate post race celebration with Sarah Ayton, Pippa Wilson, and Sarah Webb taking control of the race, briefly letting the German crew into the front running for the final mark rounding before pulling through to take the winners hooter, and the Gold Medal.
In contrast to the adulation which surrounded Ainslie, the Yngling girls struggled to find a British flag, and gave it away, opting for a fast tow in the deteriorating conditions.
After the racing the questions turned to what happens next? It would seem that Be Ainslie will run a 2012 Olympic campaign, while the silver medallist in the Finn class Zach Railey (USA) will definitely be back – hoping to be in the next US team with his sister Paige.

For the Yngling, it is the end of an era, as the way the 2012 Olympic events stand, fleet racing will be replaced with a matchracing in event in a class yet to be determined by the ISAF.
Despite what was happening on the medal course, there was drama aplenty in the othe classes, all of who raced at least once or twice.
At least two masts were broken in the Star keelboats.
Many complained that in the first real breeze of the regatta there was not enough racing.
In several instances the sailors who had been struggling in the light, came to the fore in the breeze – well demonstrated by Tom Ashley (NZL) who jumped three places to take the lead in the Mens RS:X.
If conditions were the very mild 14-16 knot breezes stated in the race reports, then it is a fair point to question why there was not more racing. Part of the reason may have been the heavy rain squalls which reduced visibility severely at times, and the strong tide pushing against the wind causing very steep waves.
At this stage it would seem that the stronger breeze will stay in for at least one more day, hopefully without the rain, and the schedule will get close to full completion.
Our apologies for the delay and lack of images in this newsletter. We lost one camera in the rain, and were forced back to the hotel early, also due to the rain, where we fight long and hard against the slow internet speeds induced, we suspect, by the Great Firewall of China.
Good Sailing!

Why do ticket prices vary?
Availability and prices of tickets on the viagogo ticket exchange are driven by market demand; they are not determined by viagogo.
Face value is the expression used to refer to the price printed on the "face" of the ticket, i.e. the price it is sold for on the primary market. This price is determined by the concert tour promoter, the club or organizer of the event.
The face value of a ticket can differ from the selling price, because the tickets on viagogo are sold at "market value". This is the price a consumer is willing to pay for a ticket to a specific event.
If the event is in high demand, the selling price is likely to be higher than the face value on the ticket and vice versa.

I paid for a ticket and the price on the ticket is only why is the price different? why are the seats so overpriced like competitor why do you charge so much doesn't say anything on the website about face or maket value how are there cheaper tickets in the same section as more expensive ones why are the tickets so expensive unclear on different pricing paid higher price than what's on the ticket


text: The ski equipped airplane nosed over while landing on a frozen lake. The pilot reported that when he departed another seaplane base, the surface was very rough due frozen slush created by snow mobiles. He reported that when he touched down on the frozen lake, he heard a "loud grinding" noise and the airplane slowed down rapidly. The pilot stated the grinding noise stopped then started again only much louder. He reported the nose of the airplane dropped and the propeller contacted the ice. The pilot reported the airplane then dropped to the right and flipped over onto its back. The pilot reported the ground track from the left ski was "rounded" at initial touchdown followed by a space then a much narrower and deeper track. He reported the four quarter-inch bolts sheared off between the axle and the gear leg on the left ski.

Post subject: Decals - How hard to make your own?
I am going to dip my toe into the minis for FC. I have done plenty of Battletech minis in the past, so I have no problem with the painting, basing, or priming of the mini. My question is about decals. How hard are they to do it yourself? Where do you get them done? Etc. I would imagine that a laser print would be better, can you get this done at a Kinkos?

Several people have done it here. And I'm sure they'll chime in. Mine are still in progress...
You can buy kits at a hobby store that will have software and paper etc, but many people have said that the software is rudimentary and does not easily lend itself to making the small details necessary for SFU minis.
Yes, the general consensus seems to be that using a laser printer is vastly superior. You can likely get this done at Kinkis, but make sure you talk with them beforehand and see if the paper will go through the printer without issue.
And really make sure that you print out your decals several times on generic white paper to see that they look the way you want. Don't waste decal paper doing this!
I can't seem to find many of the threads that previously discussed thius, but here's one:
Good luck!

Most of what I would add has been covered by the giant robot.
One thing that throws even some old-pros though: clear coat. You *have* to clear coat your decal sheet, once you've printed it, especially if it was laser-printed. If you don't, the printer-toner will just start to flake off when you soak the decal for applying it.
As OG noted, the commercially available decal packages (Testors, etc.) pretty much suck. They're geared to scale modelers and rc-car guys almost exclusively - all of whom work at a much larger scale than we do. The software really wasn't able to scale down to our size and was very "clip-art" oriented. Don't waste your money.
Testor's decal
did fine for me, just avoid the software.
I do all my decal art preparation in an old version of Macromedia FreeHand. Others use Adobe Illustrator, etc. You're going to want a similar vector-based drawing software. You can make do with Photoshop, or GIMP, etc., but they aren't optimal for this kind of work. They are geared to working with raster (bitmap) images like photographs. You want a program that is geared to creating shapes and printing them with nice, crisp edges (no dithering, etc.).
It doesn't need to be new or razzle-dazzle. The copy of FreeHand I use is FreeHand 9 (and is nearly 10 years old). There is likely a free open-source application out there that can do this job for you, but I've not looked into that.
Decal paper is expensive, so You'll want to squeeze as much decal content onto your sheets as you can. I spent a lot more time moving objects around and consolidating than I did drawing.
I started with stuff like this:
Eventually, I ended up with an 8.5x11 sheet packed even more full than this:
Once I was all done, I had a friend color laserprint the sheet for me. Ideally, it should get clear-coated as soon as it cools down after printing, to avoid having any toner chip off in transit. You don't need to hose-it-down with clear coat, but a nice thin even coat will seal it all together and give better results.
Good luck!

What 'dood and the giant robot forgot isthe background color.
If you're printing declas for use on white or very light minis, then clear decla paper works well and a bit of clear paper overhang is no big deal.
If you're goign to laser print decals for use on minis with a darker base color, you need to:
A) use a white paper.
This works well for regularly shaped designs that can be cut right to edge with a sharp exacto knife. Gorn Fleet insignia, Hydran fleet bands, and some Kzinti ship emblems fit this category. Odd shaped decals will leave bits of white decal paper showing around the design unless you can cut it precisely.
B) use an ALPS printer.
ALPS printers have the ability to print white ink. This is useful for printing a white base on a clear decal sheet and then printing the color design over the white... but this is a very advacned technique that Mark will have to go into more detail on as I've never had access to that type of equipment.

Scoutdad is right. I forgot to mention it, because it's the nature of the beast. If you are printing these yourself, that pretty much means inkjet or laserprint, which means doing any decals for use on a dark background color will be a royal PITA.
Laserprinted decals on clear film look fine on white and light gray (and similar light colors). They disappear on darker colors (Kzinti reds, Klingon grays, etc.). You either have to print them on white film and be very, very good with an Exacto knife, print them on ALPS (very tough to find), or go to a decal vendor to ALPS them for you. (Without a white or metallic layer behind your art, there's nothing to reflect the light and your art just blends into the background darkness).
Determining sizing involves a lot of measuring of the minis with calipers and rulers and quite a bit of trial and error with curved surfaces (which is what the cheap inkjet test shots on paper are for). There is also the hassle of getting prints at 100% of your art's original size (or as close as you can get - most printers do something to the scale).

Getting the sizing correct can be a real pain.
That's also why I suggested printing out your decals on regular paper--you can then cut them to size and see if they fit on the miniature.
I've used A LOT of trial and error on mine, and they're still not done. For me it's a very iterative process.

Indeed, that is true. I've used OpenOffice Draw to make a Fed DHD ship card and found that to be vector based. (Turned out nicely.) I haven't tried it for decals *yet* but I probably will at some point. The other nice thing about vector based programs is if you find out that the decal you want is too large, you can shrink it and it'll remain as sharp as your original.

Ba Le, Rockville
- c
- caphill2320 Sep 19, 2006 05:05 PM
On the recommendations of many from this board, I tried Ba Le on Rockville Pike last week and loved it. I tried the garden rolls and the roasted pork bahn mi, both of which were excellent.
I'm planning on going back...any recommendations of things to try?
I'm not sure I've ever ordered anything other than the roast pork bahn mi there. Why mess with perfection?
It's right across the Pike from Wintergreen Plaza, near Edmonston. It's in strip mall and is a small store front. Everything looked and smelled amazing, and was very inexpensive.
Their yellow noodle soups are also pretty good. But we usually stick to the garden rolls and bahn mi. Their cha gio are often under a heat lamp for carryout and in that condition, are pretty unexceptional.
Anything with lemongrass pork -- on the bahn mi or on noodles. My favorite soup here is the spicy lemongrass beef, but the chicken and shrimp soup beats most everything else on Rockville Pike for a weekend breakfast.
I recently invested in a lot of their mildly spiced, sesame-seasoned beef jerky to send to a soldier (his platoon apparently thought it was fabulous, and it is a close second to the best I've ever tasted from a vendor at the Wat Thai festival a few years ago).
I really like this place because the people are really nice and the prices are so reasonable.
I was just wondering if anyone one has been back in the last several months? One of the employees there confirmed that it is under new management, in other words, the old lady mean lady is not there anymore....yeh... It seems like they (new management) are doing a pretty good job, nice and friendly.
As far as I can tell, they menu is still the same. But for some reason, they food taste so much better. The place is so much cleaner.
What are your thoughts?
I went to the Ba Le in Springfield, VA yesterday. I don't know at all if the menu or management is the same as the one in Rockville.
Based on the rec of another Chowhound, I had the #1 Super Combo for dinner. Banh Mi with a variety of deli meats: pate, ham, head cheese, and pork. It was the best I've had in years.
Had my first visit to Ba Le on Rockville Pike last Saturday night, and I plan on going back.
I ate inside, and within about two minutes of ordering, tossed onto my table was a plastic-wrapped, styrofoam container of garden rolls and nuoc leo. About 32 seconds later, my bahn mi and soup arrived.
The rolls were cute: each studded underneath the transparent bean wrap with three shrimp. But the shrimp were tough, and in addition to the cucumber and other vegetables, the roll contained some sort of lunch meat, which may have been turkey, or pork, I don't know. Dipping sauce was goopy, and blah, though not unpleasant. This may be an unfair characterization, as I don't know if I've ever had dissimilar Vietnamese peanut sauce.
The combo bahn mi was top notch. While far from rivaling Brooklyn's Sunset Park establishments, this sandwich was damn good - filled with head cheese, ham, pate, veggies, and fish sauce. It begs for peppers, which are readily available in the form of red rooster sauce. Bread was the expected second-rate "French" white bread, but was warm and crusty.
Also had a nourishing, although boring spicy lemongrass beef soup, hiding a mass of rice noodles, and supplemented on the side with fresh bean sprouts, lime, and thai basil.
I remain perplexed by why bahn mi are so insanely cheap. $2.50 seems standard, yet this is an utter steal. Ba Le also advertises that if you buy five, they'll throw in a sixth for free.
I need to try the beef jerky. Will someone explain to me the drinks or desserts or whatever those things are in the clear plastic cups in the display case up front? What are they? Which are tasty?
Having read the above, I went to the Rockville store for the first time since I was in the neighborhood. I will preface this by saying, yes, I know, to some people the idea of ordering a vegetarian bahn mi is probably laughable. But it's what I like. And the one at Ba Le was totally and absolutely lame (American cheese!!), as compared to the tofu (#9) at the place two doors to the left of Four Sisters in Seven Corners.
re: sheldman
Unless you're not a meat eater, I'd encourage you to go back to Ba Le and try the combination bahn mi. Mine was bursting with pork and vegetables. I liked how the carrots tasted more fresh than the old, too-heavily marinated nuoc-cham flavored veggies sometimes symptomatic of inferior sandwiches. I look forward to trying the lemongrass pork bahn mi that others recommend.
Just curious, was the vegetarian sandwich actually vegetarian (no fish sauce)?

Amber Fults & The Ambivalent Lovers
■ What: Chattanooga Unplugged featuring Jordan
Hallquist & The Outfit, Amber Fults and The Ambivalent Lovers and Ryan Oyer Band.
■ When: 9 p.m. today, Jan. 30.
■ Where: Rhythm & Brews, 221 Market St.
■ Admission: $7.
■ Phone: 423-267-4644.
■ Website: www.rhythmbrews.com.
To music lovers in the '90s who appreciated a bit of insight into popular bands' creative processes, there were few series as beloved as VH1's "Storytellers" and MTV's "MTV Unplugged."
Each episode -- and eventually a slew of infrequently produced specials -- featured a band performing acoustically for a small audience, to whom the artists gave a behind-the-scenes peek into the origins of their songs.
Singer/songwriter and bandleader Jordan Hallquist looks back fondly on those shows and says they were the inspiration for Chattanooga Unplugged, a new concert series he hopes will give music lovers a new perspective on their favorite local artists.
"A lot of times, when you go to a full band show ... the vocals and the lyrics are kind of lost in the mix just because the music is loud and you're there more for the experience and the enjoyment of the atmosphere," he says. "This time, you're getting a little bit of both worlds."
The inaugural Chattanooga Unplugged show will take place tonight, Jan. 30, at Rhythm & Brews with a three-band bill featuring Hallquist and his backing band The Outfit, the Ryan Oyer Band and last year's Road to Nightfall competition winners, Amber Fults & The Ambivalent Lovers.
Hallquist says the two-hour show will be all-seated and will feature 40-minute sets by each band consisting of seven to eight songs.
Local music aficionados are used to seeing Fults, Hallquist and Oyer perform solo sets around town as well as electric performances with their bands, but seeing the full band take the stage unamplified should be a wholly new experience, Hallquist says.
Hallquist and venue manager Mike Dougher dreamed up the Unplugged series months ago. Despite the amount of effort required to rearrange their music to work in an acoustic setting, both Fults and Oyer embraced the concept from the beginning, Hallquist says.
Given the increasingly dense network of local musicians, Hallquist says he expects Chattanooga Unplugged to become an ongoing, bimonthly series. In the future, he hopes to bring in artists such as R&B/funk outfit Smooth Dialects and rock bands such as Mighty Sideshow, who are unaccustomed to playing unamplified.
Hallquist says he hopes seeing them perform in such an unexpected setting will open people's eyes and give new depth to the music.
"That's one of the things that drew me to the 'Unplugged' series," he says. "I saw some of my favorite bands perform as a band, but I was able to hear the lyrics ... and understand really, thoroughly, how they came about writing that song and what it was about."

Greenwich Olympics propaganda war goes on
It's been a quiet week, not much happening, it's been raining and The Greenwich Phantom beat me to the Only Fools and Horses stuff. But you can always rely on Greenwich Council's propaganda weekly Greenwich Time to come up with the goods…
Brilliantly, you can now read Council Pravda online, so people across the country can now gawp at just what a load of shameless self-publicity it is. This week is a classic – an Olympics special! The lead is what purports to be a report from the Blackheath Halls meeting two weeks ago which Westcombe Society chairman Gordon Baker barred me from entering on the grounds that journalists weren't allowed. Interesting.
"Local people were the first to hear of updated plans for the hosting of equestrian and modern pentathalon events at 'stunning' Greenwich Park in 2012," it begins. Well, only if they'd "paid their subscriptions", according to the Westcombe Society's Gordon Baker.
But the byline-free front page story contains nothing more than what was in the press release Olympic organisers LOCOG issued two days after the meeting (not available on LOCOG's website, but I've uploaded a copy here.) So was GT there? There's no reaction from anyone there, no attempt to see what local protesters think. Indeed, Gordon Baker told me there were no journalists at all. (The Mercury carried a decent report last week, which looks like it was written after the event – the News Shopper didn't, although it did run something about a safety barrier going up for the Woolwich shooting.)
Is it Greenwich Council's job to act as a cheerleader for the London 2012? In some respects, it is because the Olympics will hopefully attract prestige and investment into the borough.
But when dealing with its residents, Greenwich Council's job surely is to safeguard their interests, to ensure that the area will not be damaged by the games, to explain to people just what they can expect in the summer of 2012, and to make sure the value of holding the Olympics is worth the undoubted inconvenience it will cause. With blatant propaganda like this, the council is failing on all of those points.
We know those who paid to be members of the Blackheath Society, Westcombe Society and Greenwich Society have had a briefing from LOCOG. Greenwich councillors also had a separate briefing the same day. But what about the rest of us? When do we get to meet LOCOG in a hall and discuss things? Or are we only fit to be told edited highlights?
Greenwich Time then rachets up the pro-Olympics heat with a page 3 interview with "respected community champion Judy Smith MBE" – it's not explained to us why she's so respected or how she's a champion and of which community, although it looks like somewhere like Eltham, so we'll just have to take GT's word for it. Again. "It's just as important for the people of Eltham and the south of the borough to have these guarantees about Greenwich Park, because the whole borough uses and enjoys it, not just people from Greenwich." Well, good to hear it. No comment from people in Lewisham or Blackheath Village who live on the park's doorstep but don't live in the borough, mind. Maybe they don't count?
And then there's a piece with Greenwich Park's manager, who's been a loud advocate of the games all along, and then there's pieces with local business leaders about the opportunities ahead. Any dissenting voices? Of course not. This is Greenwich Time. Dissent isn't allowed. And with its newspaper having the widest distribution of any in the area, it's nothing less than an abuse of power by Greenwich Council.
This is what happens when local media dies – the Mercury a pale shadow of its former self and exiled to Streatham, the News Shopper badly out of touch in Orpington, both hurt by the rise of Greenwich Time – and nobody blows the whistle on this kind of propaganda.
On the other side of the debate, supporters of anti-Olympics pressure group NOGOE haven't been shy of playing around with the truth either. They're bound to score a decent amount of publicity for their "ring around the park" on Sunday, and they're very pleased with their 12,000-strong petition against the equestrian events in the park. But if you didn't know all the facts about what'll happen in 2012, and someone came up to you and said A Very Bad Thing will happen to the park, and we all must save it, then of course you'd sign their petition, wouldn't you? They've also released a video – made in August, so it's dated slightly. But that's not stopping them…
"None of us know how long the park will be closed for," someone is seen saying. But we do know how long the park will be closed for in 2012 – four weeks. It is a shame nobody thought to re-edit the video when the facts changed. This does not do their campaign any good.
But on both sides of the Greenwich Olympics debate, facts are the last thing anyone seems to want to deal with. Without a strong, independent local media, and until LOCOG steps up its game in terms of talking to the people of Greenwich, by holding meetings for the public and the press, it's going to stay that way.
UPDATE 6.30pm: Credit to north-of-the-Thames freesheet The Docklands (which gets a limited run in Greenwich as The Peninsula) for getting LOCOG's view on NOGOE's video. "It's scaremongering as usual," a spokesperson told reporter Marina Thomas. However, if LOCOG really does want to overcome this, it needs to be a bit more proactive in talking to the people of Greenwich, instead of waiting for journalists to ring them. Because around there, there's precious few that will do that…

Great to see that they even managed to get an angle for the entertainment pages!
this is probably not how olympic tickets work, but could local residents be offered free or cheap tickets to see the shooting/horses?
at least that might make the inconvenience a bit less intolerable?
that video is as irksome as the greenwich meantime rag.
while I have some sympathy with the cause their angle seems to be that the world as we know will come to an end, old people will be left abandoned in the streets, small children will be murdered in their beds by cars and the lord sauron will take over sweet middle earth led by marauding orcs.
I was left wondering whether this was the most profitable use of their time.
I don't know why anyone believes the "closed for only four weeks" line presently being put out by LOCOG? I mean, use your noddle: if you had to build a 23,000-seat stadium, together with all the auxiliary stuff like media centres, hospitality suites, doping-test centres, vet clinics, etc etc, how long do you think it would take? If you had to carve out and prepare a cross-country track to Olympic standard (those horses are worth half a million each, and the going has to be like silk) that wound all over the Park, how much time would you allow for the job? Then there has to be a trial event in the year before the Olympics, for which the Park will be closed.
Ergo, commonsense tells you that much of the Park will be closed to us for most of two years, including closed completely once the security sweeps have been made before the start of the Olympics. Then, how long do you imagine it takes to dismantle a 23,000-seat stadium and take it away on lorries? that can't be done with the public wandering in and out.
As for the assurances about trees and habitat being preserved – well, on the main Olympic site trees and habitat have been destroyed, despite assurances that they would not be, BECAUSE THEY GOT IN THE WAY.
As to the idea of free tickets for locals – I think that, at best, there will be a token number like 6 pairs – not more and probably none at all, because the Park is too small to allow the organisers to have as many people paying to watch live from stands (there isn't room) as they would want.
Indigo is using exactly the sort of dissembling sophistry which this post complains about.
Windsor Great Park, Burghley and Badminton all manage to build their temporary stadiums and arenas in just a week to 10 days before their annual Three Day events. And that includes "all the auxiliary stuff like media centres, hospitality suites, doping-test centres, vet clinics, etc etc".
The scale will be slighly more Olympian, but then so will be the resources available. So there is no reason to assume that arena construction and course building in Greenwich will take any longer than four weeks in 2012.
Or to suggest, as Indigo has done, that Paul Deighton and LOCOG are lying about this. What evidence does Indigo have for making such an assertion?
Yet he manages to go in to full scaremongering mode by ramping up a four-week closure in 2012 to two years. Oh, do come on: what absolute nimbyism from some of the well-heeled of Blackheath.
Indigo is absolutely right. I quoting now the "official" LOCOG document:
"Work is likely to begin on the
installation of a temporary Arena in
the north of the Park in March/April
2012. From this date onwards some
parts of the Park will be cordoned off
as we continue our preparations but
we don't envisage closing the Park
completely until July 2012."
That means that large parts of the park are closed much longer than four weeks. And in any case: what does "we don't envisage" actually mean? What guarantees are there that they don;t close the park earlier? Just think of TFL envisaging to finish the Jubilee line upgrade in March 2009. Please also note that the main problems are caused by the cross country event and not so much by the stadium.
In particular my previous comment should also make clear that the video of the Nogoe campaign is still correct as the parts of the park will be closed much longer than four weeks and that nobody knows how long the park will be actually closed. (The only thing we know is that LOCOG "envisages" not more than four weeks of complete closure)
[…] in Greenwich Council undermine their efforts every time they up their own propaganda – their Greenwich Time special was every bit as misleading as some of NOGOE's supporters' …. It could be argued pressure from NOGOE has forced some concessions on the course and park closures […]
[…] had a great post criticising the weakness of local media in the SE, and Greenwich Time specifically. Also raises some very good points about the cost of entry into […]

Arizona Creates Special Voting Day for Spanish-Speaking Citizens
Arizona catches a lot of flak for — let's be honest — its asshattery when it comes to how it treats the Hispanic community. For a state that was technically born in Mexico, Arizona spends a lot of time obsessing over the president's birth certificate and the legal papers of anyone with a darkened skin tone.
Fortunately, for lovers of civil liberties and cultural tolerance, all that is in the past. In fact, Maricopa County, AZ has opened new frontiers in the accommodation of Spanish-speaking voters, by creating a special Election Day just for them…
The document, which was attached to updated voter registration cards that were requested in person, lists the general election date as Nov. 8 in Spanish. An English translation on the document lists the correct date, Nov. 6.
Between this and the news that Spanish-speaking voters in Florida are receiving phone calls from anonymous persons informing them that they can vote over the phone, it's clear we've turned a page in our voter suppression wars.
And opened a whole new chapter.

Who Is More Latino: Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney
Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are both making a play for the roughly 12 million Latino voters expected to cast ballots this year, but does either candidate have the huevos to make a full pander to America's fastest growing demographic? Let's find out…

Ann Romney Not 100% Sure What Bias Means
Ann Romney spoke to female voters during her convention speech Tuesday night, and there's little doubt that it was a success. (Especially among women who don't need emergency access to contraception, say.)
Could she continue her winning streak with Latino voters? At a Latino Coaltion luncheon yesterday, she gave it the old college try, delivering her husband's message of economic growth…
"It really is a message that would resonate well if they [Latinos] could just get past some of their biases that have been there from the Democratic machines that have made us look like we don't care about this community," Romney said.
Ann, you're so right. It was downright fiendish of the Democrats to force your husband to oppose the DREAM Act, which would allow young undocumented immigrants to remain in the country.
And the Democrats had no business ordering your husband to waffle on Marco Rubio's plan, which would decriminalize the status of young aliens who enter college or the military.
And when the dastardly Obama refused to deport young immigrants, it was just a trick to make your husband oppose that decision.
Seriously, Latino voters, I'm with Ann. It's time to wake up.

Meet Mayor Julian Castro, DNC Keynote Speaker and Future President
Mayor Julián Castro will be the keynote speaker on opening night of the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, getting the futbol rolling on Democratic efforts to dominate the Hispanic vote in November.
Marking a first for Hispanic-Americans, the mayor of San Antonio will speak on September 4th, following first lady Michelle Obama, according to an announcement from the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Convention Committee.
As keynote speaker, the little known Castro will step into the same role that propelled Barack Obama into national prominence when he delivered the keynote address in 2004. Since we may be looking at a 2016 presidential nominee, what else do we know about this young man?
* At 37, he's the youngest mayor of a major American city. Home to the Alamo, San Antonio is most famous for being the site of the most hopeless battle in Texas history (until the Perry campaign came along), but also happens to be the 7th most populous city in America.
* He's a graduate of Stanford, and like Obama, Harvard Law School. So Breitbart.com probably has a video of him giving a terrorist hug to a liberal professor.
* He was the first San Antonio mayor to be grand marshal of the city's annual gay rights parade, which is a thing that's allowed to happen in parts of Texas, apparently.

Republican Colorblindness Stymied by People Who Insist Latinos Aren't Asians
Pity the Republicans. They are so prejudice-free, so colorblind, that they don't see race. Pollsters routinely tell them that their party is monolithically white, but they have no way to confirm this, beyond acknowledging that their affinity for mayonnaise and dressage horses makes it likely that this is so.
The Republican commitment to colorblindness and anti-racism extends into the realm of Hispanic outreach. When a Republican looks at a Mexican-American, they do not see "race." They see a gardener. And a potential Republican.
But leave it to race-obsessed liberals to ruin the fun…
In an effort to court Latino voters, the RNC's Spanish-language outreach website installed a prominent photo of adorable Latino children as its main image. Or at least that's what the RNC thought the photo depicted. It turns out the kids aren't Latino at all.
In an embarrassing mix-up, US News and World Report discovered that RNCLatinos.com used a stock photo apparently depicting Asian children on the site. The image they chose is tagged by its creators with such terms as "asian," "thailand," "japanese" and "interracial," as are dozens of related photos by the same source featuring Asian preschoolers playing in parks.
The RNC has since blamed an outside contractor for the mix-up, which shows just how hard it is for Republicans to win. Hire a competent contractor you're forced to get rid of him because "I'm running for office, For Pete's sake, I can't have illegals." Hire a documented contractor, and it turns out "basic website design" is another job Americans can't do competently.
