Karzai encourages early exit for NATO troops
- By Jennifer RowlandJennifer Rowland is a research associate in the National Security Studies Program at the New America Foundation.
Early exit: Afghan president Hamid Karzai suggested Thursday that an "accelerated and full transition of security responsibilities to Afghan forces" would prevent the recurrence of "painful experiences" like the release of images depicting U.S. soldiers posing with dead Afghan insurgents (LAT, CNN).
A U.S. military helicopter crashed in poor weather while responding to a suicide blast in Helmand Province on Thursday, and officials say all four people on board were likely killed (Reuters, AFP, CNN, NYT).
And Afghan security forces' handling of Sunday's coordinated Taliban attacks on Kabul sparked an outpouring of public support for the country's troops, particularly its elite Special Forces, in whom much of the country has placed its hope that Afghanistan will be able to beat back the Taliban after NATO troops leave in 2014 (Guardian).
Official cover
Jamaat-ud-Dawa leader Hafiz Mohammad Saeed filed a petition with the Lahore High Court on Wednesday requesting that the Pakistani government provide him protection after the United States last week announced a $10 million reward for information leading to his arrest or conviction (McClatchy, ET).
Chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee John Kerry is expected to visit Pakistan on April 29 to offer a formal apology for NATO's November airstrikes on Pakistani border posts, as well as meet with the country's top civil and military officials, and with opposition politicians and civil society leaders (ET).
Dawn reported Thursday that Pakistan and the United States are discussing ways to have joint ownership over the drone strikes the CIA conducts in the country's tribal regions (Dawn). Analysts believe Sunday's attacks in Afghanistan, which U.S. and Afghan officials blamed on the Pakistan-based Haqqani Network, will strengthen the United States' hand in discussions with Pakistan over drone strikes and NATO ground supply routes through Pakistan (AFP).
The head of Dawn Magazines, Murtaza Razvi, was found murdered in a friend's art studio on Thursday morning, though the perpetrator and motivation behind the murder remain unknown (Dawn, ET, DT). And violence has flared in Karachi this week, claiming at least nine lives on Friday (ET, The News).
Tough times
Ever controversial Pakistani actress Veena Malik is busier than ever with movie premieres, photo shoots, and television shows, and even a newly begun singing career (ET). But it isn't all fun and games for Malik; she told the Tribune that she's sad that shooting is over for her upcoming film Mumbai 125 Kilometer, and she's "dying to be with [her] family" in Pakistan, but all of her work in India keeps her too busy to visit.

Do high school girls really watch as much porn as guys?
guys at my school are really open about masturbation and watching porn, but i have never ever heard a girl approach the subject. but i've been looking at some of the questions on yahoo answers and apparently girls do watch a lot of porn. its just hard to believe. how often does the average high school girl watch porn?
Well, I'm a girl and I watch porn, all kinds. at least 5 times a week. Yet my best friends HATES porn of all kinds. So in my opinion it really matters how much of a sex life you have . Or how sexual you are with yourself. Just depends on the person. But I will guarantee that at least half the girls I go to school with have watched it once. : )
What percent of girls in high school like to watch porn?
what percent of girls in high school like to watch porn?
whether its for fun, to masturbate, or because they think its funny.
Please Realize that Porn Destroys, See How it has destroyed the Lives of those who were involved in the Industry as seen in this Video
By far, the most searched for terms on the internet are related to pornography. Pornography is rampant in the world today. Perhaps more than anything else, Satan has succeeded in twisting and perverting sex. He has taken what is good and right (loving sex between a husband and wife) and replaced it with lust, pornography, adultery, rape, and homosexuality. Pornography can be the first step on a very slippery slope of ever-increasing wickedness and immorality (Romans 6:19). The addictive nature of pornography is well documented. Just as a drug user must consume greater and more powerful quantities of drugs to achieve the same "high," pornography drags a person deeper and deeper into hard-core sexual addictions and ungodly desires.
The three main categories of sin are the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16). Pornography definitely causes us to lust after flesh, and it is undeniably a lust of the eyes. Pornography definitely does not qualify as one of the things we are to think about, according to Philippians 4:8. Pornography is addictive (1 Corinthians 6:12; 2 Peter 2:19), and destructive (Proverbs 6:25-28; Ezekiel 20:30; Ephesians 4:19). Lusting after other people in our minds, which is the essence of pornography, is offensive to God (Matthew 5:28). When habitual devotion to pornography characterizes a person's life, it demonstrates the person is not saved (1 Corinthians 6:9).
For those involved in pornography, God can and will give the victory. Are you involved with pornography and desire freedom from it? Here are some steps to victory: 1) Confess your sin to God (1 John 1:9). 2) Ask God to cleanse, renew, and transform your mind (Romans 12:2). 3) Ask God to fill your mind with Philippians 4:8. 4) Learn to possess your body in holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:3-4). 5) Understand the proper meaning of sex and rely on your spouse alone to meet that need (1 Corinthians 7:1-5). 6) Realize that if you walk in the Spirit, you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh (Galatians 5:16). 7) Take practical steps to reduce your exposure to graphic images. Install pornography blockers on your computer, limit television and video usage, and find another Christian who will pray for you and help keep you accountable.
Is a 21 year old man looking at naked high school girls in porn wrong?
Today, when looking on my laptop, i discovered that my 21 yr old bf has tried to download a porno involving high-school girls getting naked! This has kinda upset me! Is this wrong for a 21 year old to do? Do you think this is sick and something i need to talk to him about?
The reason this has upset me so much is because almost a year ago we fell out because (while still 21) i'm sure he flirted with a 15 year old girl he knew. And i also came across a photo of him with no clothes on and just his hands covering his 'parts' which was taken by the 15 year old (with 2 more ppl in the room more his age)! I thought this was sick and we had a massive row over it.
Now him looking at high school girls has brought all the memories back and really upset me, what shall i do?
Do you think this was a really sick thing for a man of his age (alomst 22) to do?
why have you asked this question again , can I refer you to your previous answers :-

School Girl Porn....?
What do u guys think about all the jamaican school girl porn that's being circulated these days? I for one am thoroughly disgusted! Do those girls have no morals or values?
The other day I saw one with a girl taking a backaz on a school desk from what looked like a techer...and the other one wit the girl having sex on the school steps (with ppl who didn't even know her name).
I agree with the others that it has been happening for a while now but I still have to say that as a woman I am EXTREMELY saddened by the fact that young girls are going these things when they KNOW it's being recorded and ESPECIALLY the fact that there are usually multiple men involved in these "scenes". I am not knocking anyone for experimenting but it can be done with some amount of dignity which seems to be non-existent in the minds of these girls. I saw the ones u mentions plus SEVERAL others. Experimenting off the record, with a single man is fine in my book (even multiple men if that's what the girl is into). But leaving evidence of it is just sheer lack of pride in my opinion.
Edit: I read dispair queen's answer and I agree but the fact of the matter is that we live in a society where men are not penalized for those things and the girls are the ones who look bad and they should KNOW this. I'm sure the boys involved are being praised for it while the girls are the ones dubbed as "sketels" It's unfair yes but it's just the way it is.
Why is it that all these young beautiful girls fresh out of high school just jump into porn?
I was surfing the web and accidentaly stumbled upon this porn website. The first thing i saw was this cute little girl (that looked as if she were no more than 12) masturbating with her breasts exposed. I completely freaked out thinking it was illegal guydy porn and exed it out as fast as i could. Then I took a look back and on her blog it said she's 18 fresh out of high school with some disease that makes her appear much younger than she is. Then a pop up came into view showing other porn websites of other girls (that looked no older than 12 also) who also appear to have the disease doing all these terrible porno things. And I'm sitting there wondering "Why on Earth would these beautiful young girls just rot away there life doing porn?! Are they proud of themselves?! What would their mother think?!" Why is it these beautiful young intelligent girls sink so low as to show off their private bodies in order to please the disgusting perverts online for money? Its just sick, why would they do that?
Because it's an easy way to make money and be careful,these do sound like they might well be guydie porn sites and that is most definitely sick.
How do I tell a teacher about a girl that watched porn on a school trip?
Alright I was on my 8th grade trip and on the last night that we were staying in the hotel room my friends watched porn until 1 o'clock in the morning and I don't know if I should tell the teacher so I don't get into trouble or if I should keep it to myself. So what should I do? HELP
Well...by the 8th grade I can ONLY assume that you know PORN isn't FREE - so exactly WHO is responsible for the bill? (that's a huge deal there)
Besides..how do YOU know they were watching it unless YOU were watching it also and you're just scared you'll get into trouble?
What's the "real" question here?
CAN you get into trouble for watching porn? In my honest opinion, there should have been an ADULT in each room with guys, since there wasn't then by golly the ADULTS must expect this kind of behavior.
My only other thought - HOPE this isn't a CHRISTIAN school.
IF you really feel bad about this, just tell your parents and ask them NOT to tell anyone else...just in case the bill (which it will) shows up that the room YOU were in watched porn then your parents are already aware.
Girls behavior to guys in an all girls school turning co-ed?
When it comes to all girls school / college that 'just turn' co-ed ( like first year have boys ) with there being large number of girls and a small number of guys starting out. We seen it the idea done in anime porn and possibly reallife porn as a harem sex situation. However, in reallife, what is the true behavior or girls in high schools/colleges to males when 'they arrive for the first year'? Harassment? Bullying? What? Was curious for purpose of story writing.
The correct behavior should be to treat them like welcome members of the school and to treat them like it was a co-ed school from the beginning.
How many other girls watch porn like me?
I am in high school and I watch porn at least once a week. I dont think its a big deal but just want to know if you watch porn and how many times a week, month, year .......day hahhaha
I have many beautiful girls in my life right now and some of them DO watch porn .... -.-

BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- With the U.S. economy in tatters, the political system nearly broken and the stock market seesawing along to intermittent good and bad news, focusing on industries' prospects is the first step in getting a clear focus for an investment strategy.What's more, as technology evolves and companies from abroad add to competition, U.S. businesses would do well to study money flows favoring certain sectors over others. A ranking of industries by their long-term business outlook was constructed by IBISWorld, a Santa Monica, Calif., publisher of research and market analysis. The firm based its analysis on more than 700 industries, from Internet service providers to hospitals to fisheries. IBISWorld's latest research has identified a handful of industries with some of the best prospects. They range from alternative-energy-infrastructure providers to privately run prisons. The firm's outlook over the next five years may help guide investors, businesses and even job-seekers. IBISWorld, however, didn't disclose specific companies in its research, choosing instead to break down the American economy into its functioning parts. Mary Gotaas, an IBISWorld research analyst, told TheStreet that, among the factors the firm's analysts weigh in their rankings, are an industry's growth potential, barriers to entry that can influence competitiveness, the potential for exports and impact of imports, and sensitivity risk to external factors that could impact the industry, such as government regulations. Five industries with some of the best business prospects follow: Wind- and solar-energy companies are expected to post revenue growth of roughly 18% annually through 2016. Wind power is currently a $3.7 billion industry, and IBISWorld said it should benefit from lower equipment costs and government-funded initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create an alternative energy infrastructure. "Moreover, the government will mandate that certain downstream buyers buy renewable energy, further stimulating revenue," IBISWorld said. Wind-industry leaders include NextEra Energy ( NEE) and Xcel Energy ( XEL). Solar, now a relatively small industry, is seen benefitting from many of the same government incentives for alternative energy as wind. On the downside, favorable market conditions are expected to lure more players into the industry, including low-cost manufacturers from countries such as China, and that will slightly offset the substantial growth prospects for the industry. Leading solar companies include SunPower ( SPWRA), First Solar ( FSLR) and NextEra.

James Franco Posted A Naked Selfie, Proving He Needs To Retake Instagram 101
For all the classes he's taught himself at NYU, I kinda think James Franco needs to take a class of his own in social media. Maybe something like Instagram Etiquette 101, because he's having some real struggles lately being a normal human being who doesn't openly pursue teenage girls and post naked selfies.
I'm sure you already remember that time when James took a liking to a seventeen-year old girl whom he met outside the stage door of the show he's currently doing on Broadway, Of Mice And Men. Sure, she was twenty years his junior, but she was also beautiful and in possession of an Instagram account, so he wasted no time attempting to woo her into a hotel room with him, presumably for to make sex. But after she made their conversations public, he admitted to all that, as one does when one is utterly unashamed of one's self and oblivious to the issues inherent in trolling a high schooler for sex.
Anyway, we were hopeful (but not optimistic) that he'd learned his lessons about the fact that Instagram is A WIDE OPEN WORLD, but it seems he did not, as he put up a nearly naked selfie last night. The photo, which he pulled after a couple hours, shows him posing sweatily in his bathroom with no shirt and one hand a little ways down his dingy tighty-whities, which are pulled down around his waist to expose a tasteful thatch of pubes.
GIRL. What are you doing? Putting it up in the first place was one thing, but taking it down? What is this, amateur hour? We live in a world of screen grabs, so nothing ever disappears from the internet. Especially not naked pictures. If you have one person in particular whom you want to see that particularly imagery, maybe go ahead and send it directly to them, or invest in the thirty seconds it takes to download SnapChat.
These are all options at your disposal that don't end with millions of people meeting your dead-eye stare as you gently cup your danglies.

Shortly after endoderm tissue is formed in the early embryo, it becomes patterned, so that some of it gives rise to the foregut while other regions give rise to the hindgut. The foregut endoderm contains the progenitor cells that will give rise to the liver, pancreas, thyroid and lungs, whereas the hindgut domain gives rise to the intestine.
This patterning process, which progressively subdivides the endoderm into organ domains, begins during gastrulation and continues throughout early development, ensuring that the organs form in the correct position in the body. The molecular mechanisms that control this are poorly understood, but appear to be mediated by a series of growth factor interactions between the endoderm and surrounding mesoderm. One of the first manifestations of this patterning is the asymmetric expression of genes such the homeobox transcription factor Hhex in the foregut progenitor cells. Hhex is a homeodomain transcription factor that is essential for anterior endoderm and liver development.
We are trying to understand the molecular mechanisms that pattern the embryonic endoderm into organ domains. Our recent studies have found that different levels of Wnt, BMP and FGF growth factors in different parts of the embryo are a key step in patterning the endoderm into foregut and hindgut domains. Moreover these growth factors are used over and over again with different roles at different times and places in the embryo. We have shown that, shortly after gastrulation Wnt signaling must be repressed in the anterior endoderm by the secreted protein Sfrp5 in order to promote the development of foregut progenitor cells and the liver, lungs and pancreas. In contrast, high levels of Wnt in the posterior promote hindgut progenitors and intestinal differentiation. Using mouse genetics and transgenic frog embryos, which express green fluorescent protein under the control of the hhex promoter, we are characterizing how Wnts, BMP and Nodal growth factors control the complex transcriptional program of foregut development.
These studies will provide essential information on the genetic pathways controlling the earliest steps in digestive system development. In recent collaborations with the Wells and Shroyer labs these developmental paradigms have been utilized to direct the differentiation of human stem cells into intestinal tissue.

Reloading Kit
Could you guys give me some advice on a good starter reloading kit. I don't need anything too fancy, so don't want to spend a ton. I am going to be reloading 300 RUM, 30-06, possibly 308. Looking for press/dies/manual/guide/the works. I'll be honest. I don't know as much as I'd like about this, but seeing as how this is my LIFE...well you know. Thanks alot fellas.
And this may be a bad question. Don't know if a particular brand is best.

RCBS will have what you need. IMO , stay away from lee dies as they are a pain to set up. They dont have a set screw. I have a few sets and dislike them.
Basically, you will need a press,
powder trickler
calipers accurate to .001 inch
powder dump (optional)
deburring tool
case lube pad
lube brush
case tumbler ( optional)
polishing compound such as flitz
not to mention the dies
shellholder for your spec cartridge
a manual is also a good thing to have
I like the speer ones, but this will get you started
look at RCBS, they have several starter kits.

You will get a ton of advice on this subject and different manufacturers. My own work is as follows. I am a fan of the RCBS single stage press for gettin started. Still have my original after 25+ years. Have much much more, but that is not your question. Basic powder meaure scale, RCBS, Hornady etc. Die sets for caliber. Trimming tool, hand or electric, your pocket book. Pocket uniformer, flash hole reamer. Case tumbler, your call. Get one of the hand reloading manuals from the leading companies and that will guide you to a complete basic set up. Mine is well advanced, but after 25-30 yrs it better be.
Send a PM and I will give you a complete starter list and where to buy starter sets. Your call.

Check out the "Handloading & Reloading" section of this forum, there's some good info posted at the top for new hand-loaders and if you search the threads there, there's quite a few which answer your question.

Try this question in the reloading section and you'll get more answers. That said, try the RCBS master reloading kit. It may be a little more than you want to spend but it's nice enough you will never have to upgrade it. The Rockchucker press is very heavy duty compared to most other single stage presses. You won't be dissapointed.

Lee Aniversary kit.
Just add dies.
Don't let anyone tell you Lee isn't quality stuff....it is the bargain brand but turns out very high quality ammo, if you do your part.
Keep it simple.
The most important part of reloading is the knowledge and patience to do it right.
Not what color your press is painted.

Bryceh 12321--Told ya, you'd have to be getting into reloading! Glad to see that you're considering it. It'll make less expensive ammo for all that practicing.
Suggestion: BEFORE you start plunking down $$ for equipment, study up. The "standard textbook" on reloading is called The ABC's of Reloading, which is put out by Krause Publications, www.krause.com
Get it @ yr local sptg gds sto, gun sho, order over the I'net on Amazon or such, or the publisher sells it directly.
Covers all aspects of reloading firearm ammunition, in great detail. Having studied it, you will then be in a position to decide what you (1) Need to get started, (2) Want besides #1, and (3) Can wait a while on getting.
Even if, having read The ABC's, you decide to not reload, you will come away with a greater appreciation for what goes into this ammunition we shoot, and you won't then have any expensive equipment to dispose of.
BTW, unlike Armedtotheteeth, I have a number of sets of Lee dies, mostly the collet neck-sizing variety, and they work very well for me. You will get varying opinions on the worth of almost every different piece of reloading equipment there is. (I have dies by Lee, RCBS, Pacific, and Redding. They all do their jobs just fine.)
As to books, besides The ABC's, which is a how-to and why-to book, you will need a loading manual, which is a recipe book. My go-to manual is the Lyman 48th edition, but there are several good manuals out there, and most reloaders have more than one. When developing a new load, cross-checking is a great idea.
The important thing about a published manual is that it is a responsible and recognizable source of load data. The various makers of powder and bullets also have data on their websites, again, a recognizable source. DO NOT use load data from an anonymous source off the 'net, without cross-checking against a recognizable source. Any anonymous yahoo can tell you to load 'way too much of a fast-burning powder. 'Nough said.
Bottom line: Knowledge BEFORE equipment saves time, $$, and frustration. Read The ABC's.
God Bless America

I use a Lee Challenger Breech-lock press (single stage) for .308 win, .223rem, and 45acp. All Lee dies. I've reloaded several hundred rounds for each caliber (admittedly not a lot) without a hitch. My .308 match rounds make one hole at 100yds. My 45's and .223's are quite nice, but I load them for volume, not surgical accuracy.
The Lee stuff works. Just READ THE MANUALS FIRST!!!!!
Here's the kit I bought. It doesn't come with dies. They cost about $25-$35 extra.

I have an RCBS Rockchucker press, an older Lyman 55 powder measure, a Lyman universal trimmer, Lyman scale, RCBS Deburrer, Lyman and Speer manuals. I also have a flash hole uniformer that removes burrs inside the cases from the hole punching operation.
I especially like the Bonanza Benchrest rifle dies, especially the seating die. They're the only dies I use for rifle ammo these days. The straight-line seating die is a joy to use.
Most of my rifle cases are Remington and I use CCI primers most of the time.
I've loaded for about 50 years, including rifle, pistol, and shotgun ammo and bullet casting.
My best advise is to buy quality equipment the first time, but don't get into fancy electronic stuff; good basic stuff will last a lifetime and can be passed on to your kids.

I strongly recommend the Rockchucker supreme. Priced right and has just about every thing you need to reload. The only thing you will need to pick up thats not included in the kit is a digital caliper, dies+shell holders and the bullet fixins....

I have real-world experience that says Lee presses, at least, are not as durable as RCBS. I got the Lee anniversary kit. The press broke on me one day, resizing .223 shells, about six months later. Frame just up and snapped in two. Lee may have a hell of a warranty, but that doesn't help much when I'm in the middle of resizing 500 pieces of brass. I went out to the local gun store and picked up an RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme and I've not had any issues with the RCBS at all. To Lee's credit, though, they did replace the press, and I keep it around to use with their crimp dies so I don't have to keep swapping dies as much.

IM WAITING FOR THIS THREAD TO GET SENT TO (oops caps, too lazy to retype) the reloading forum, but,
to give a quick cost benefit analysis of reloading
For instance say loading 223.
you can go to top brass and get 1000 once fired () brass for 105 $
buy 3 pounds of H335 @ $20 a pound ( last i checked that was $60
1000 primers for about $40.
and 1000 FMJ cheap bullets for $70
add this up, for 275$ you can get 1000 rounds of 223 ammo made up. This is around what Would will cost you to buy wolf or something like it. The brass is reloadable say about 10 times if you anneal your brass about every 3 shots.
I dont know if it really saves me all that much money, but it gives me something to do besides drink beer and scratch my Great Dane. It also gives me Match quality ammo at a cheaper price than I can get anywhere.
It is a very rewarding hobby. I hope it becomes more popular than it is right now, I also hope yalls ( not mine) up and coming president leaves reloaders alone and doesnt implement some stupid microstamping law or something like it. Some of my most memorable moments in life involve me, my dad , and my granpaps sitting on the reloading bench making a zillion 30-06 bullets, or whatever and Bsing about how we can hit a Fleas butt at 500 yards with this new bullet we got at the General store. I fear our hobby is in danger. Pick it up, show your friends how too, and your kids.
Ok Im rambling, Ill go scratch the dog and have another cold one
Oh I have uses both the Digital caliper and the Dial. the dial is way better, and easier to read. You can read the dial alot easier such as how close you are to the needed length and whatnot. plus.. no dead batteries

This is the one I picked. It even includes case trim tools.
Shop around a bit, you'll find it for a lot less than the price Tony Soprano posted on their site.

bryceh12321, I would start by getting the book "The ABC's of Reloading" by Bill Chevalier and reading it cover to cover. This will give you a good idea of just what you need and how to use it.
I wouldn't get in to big of a hurry to buy equipment. Study what's available and buy the right tool the first time. Also as mentioned go to the reloading section and do some reading.

as mentioned by THINKINGMAN, knowledge & patience are the two most important virtues of reloading. You cannot rush into reloading. Do your research and read alot of material on the subject before you even load your first cartridge. If you get off on the wrong approach you will be courting an accident. Reloading in some ways is more dangerous than shooting. You cannot be careful enough.////// Also, you would do well to get digital scales instead of mechanical. You can get some decent scales for thirty dollars. Same goes for the calipers. Take the digital over the analogue. Remember, guys, this fellow is just starting out, so hold off on the "I use analogue all the time......" We know you do. Good luck, Bryceh. You will find reloading takes the firearms enthusiast to a different level of firearms shooting & collecting.

Baby Supplies For eSaudi Arabia
Venrick von Lucia
This is the re-re-release of our baby supply program, and this time it is even more generous and even easier for you to get supplied well.
Supplies will be given based on this website http://egov4you.info/citizens/overview
to qualify and get supplies, you need to be in Division 1 and have Saudi Arabia citizenship. Then to get supplied you need to either gain experience strength or rank and you will get supplied based on that tomorrow.
any D1 player with eSaudi CS who fights or gains experience some other way will get 25 Q2 food (100 energy) and 5 Q2 weapons.
BUT if you are in D1 and you did not fight but you just trained (that means strength increase but no rank increase) you will receive 100 Q2 food (400 energy) and 20 Q2 weapons!
this is to encourage our young players to increase strength but to raise their level slowly so that by the time they reach D2 they will be very strong for their division.
If you are a new player and you want these free goodies, just keep playing and they will be sent to you automatically. there is no need to ask, and please read this new player guide article here
for players that gain strength and fight, only 100 Q2 food and 20 Q2 weapons. it's important to young players to save up their supplies and cc and gold to help upgrade training grounds. It is much better for players to stay in D1 as long as possible and fight as little as possible in D1, because then they will enter D2 as strong and smart players.
people in D1 will always keep fighting, no doubt about that. but i am hoping to encourage more D1 players to fight less and train more.
It is much better for players to stay in D1 as long as possible and fight as little as possible in D1, because then they will enter D2 as strong and smart players.
thats me 😃

Wrong Information is Being Given Out at Princeton: The Chronicle of One of the Strangest Stories Ever to Be Rumoured about Around New York
Alfonso Stephen O'Kelly, known as Stephen, son of rumored former bootleggers, ex-naval gunner, unemployed composer, student of dairy cattle in Wisconsin and of music in Italy, has little to recommend him as a marriage prospect but his tender heart, his chivalry, and his comprehensible knowledge of the great city of New York. So when the exquisitely pneumatic and extraordinarily wealthy Sylvia Triumphington, adored adoptive heiress to the Triumphington family fortune, sets her sights on him, Stephen is taken by surprise.
In marrying into the Trumpington millions, however, Stephen gets rather more than he bargained for. If it where just the gorgeous Sylvia, with her unexpected enthusiasm for rough sex, her obsession for finding her real mother, and her tendency to spend Stephen's nonexistent money rather than draw a cent from her own, presumably overflowing, coffers, things would be fine. But there is also her unpredictable adoptive father, who responds rather badly to any request for a handout. And then their is Sylvia's elegant, insatiable adoptive mother Drusilla, to whom Stephen finds himself inconveniently and conspicuously attracted.
Shuttling between his marital home--a two-room walk-up on the edge of the Bowery--and the Triumpingtons' lavish Upper East Side apartment, Stephen has little time or energy to pursue his dreams of achieving musical glory, and he has more misgivings by the day. It would seem to Stephen that the very rich are secretly different, but not exempt from tragedy, or even from wrong information.
Featuring fourteen elegant and witty original illustrations by Elliott Banfield, the artist whose drawings so enhanced the colorful antics of The Lady Who Like Clean Restrooms, Wrong Information Is Being Given Out At Princeton is a poem to a great city, an elegy on passion, a glorious, irreverent, picaresque journey--it is J.P Donleavy at his extraordinary best.

Investors may be distracted by the deadly floods in Queensland and the impact it is having on mining contractors operating in that state, but experts are still bullish on the sector, drilling services companies in particular.
This has prompted Goldman Sachs to reiterate its "buy" recommendation and lift its earnings per share (EPS) estimates by 8.6 per cent and 7.8 per cent for 2010-11 and 2011-12, respectively. This has led to a 10 per cent lift in the broker's price target on the stock to $2.20 a share.
The broker's upbeat assessment on Imdex comes in the wake of
Boart said drilling activity in December would remain more robust than in the previous two years and Imdex is likely to be benefiting from the same trend.
Further, there are expectations that prices drilling companies are charging will rise and that, coupled with the high operating leverage as rig utilisation rates increase, puts these companies in a strong position to benefit from the boom in the resources sector.
But Goldman's valuation on Imdex could be too conservative as it doesn't include the potential upside from the company's recent acquisition of German drilling fluids and chemicals and equipment supplier Mud-Data for €3.5 million ($4.6 million), on top of a 10 per cent of profits generated by Mud-Data for 2010-11 through to 2014-15 and a €1.5 million earn-out if Mud Data hits certain targets.
Most brokers believe the acquisition was done on an attractive valuation for Imdex and the new business could add 14 per cent to 2011-12 EPS, according to Goldman Sachs. But the broker will only factor it in after due diligence and formal documentation is completed for the takeover.
Imdex and Boart Longyear are both trading close to highs of more than two years. Imdex jumped 4¢ to $1.81 on Wednesday. just 2¢ away from its 28-month high hit three weeks ago. Boart slipped 5¢ to $4.60, or 5.2 per cent off Monday's 27-month high.
In contrast,
But Swick's sale of its surface diamond division for $17 million last week will help give it more financial flexibility.
Part of the proceeds will be used to pay down debt and Hartleys estimates this will leave the company with around $9 million, which is more than it had anticipated.
However, the sale of the division will have an impact on current year earnings due to the loss of revenue generated from the business.
Hartley's estimates that normalised earnings will fall by around 23 per cent from its previous estimate to $6.1 million and that will put the stock on a fairly high price-earnings multiple of around 17.5 times when Imdex and Boart are trading on more attractive multiples of around 12 and 15 times, respectively
Hartleys has a "speculative buy" recommendation on Swick as it believes the company has the potential to generate strong cash flows that would put its market cap free cash flow yield at around 10 per cent for 2010-11.
The broker has a price target of 51¢ a share.

Diary of Thomas Burton Esq: Volume 4, March - April 1659. Originally published by H Colburn, London, 1828.
This free content was digitised by double rekeying. All rights reserved.
In this section
Friday, March 11, 1658–9.
Mr. Speaker took the chair at nine.
Prayers by Mr. Cooper.
Ordered, that Cole and Rodney's case (fn. 1) be heard this day sennight.
It was moved that Colonel Overton (fn. 2) being come to town, he might be called to the bar.
Sir Henry Vane. He is brought so weak with four years imprisonment, that he can scarce go over the floor. If you please, he may be called in on Monday. He is now a prisoner at your doors, by your commands.
Mr. Bodurda. You were in fetters yourself. First deliver yourself from that, and then let the other business be the next business.
Mr. Swinfen. You are but in a parenthesis, in the midst of a debate.
Serjeant Maynard. You ought not, without leave, to speak against the orders of the House; for nought was to intervene.
The order of the day was read.
Mr. Bodurda. I have something to offer which may seem to put you by your debate. If there be a question concerning three hundred that sit here, if there be withdrawing in the case of Major-general Packer, there is a member whose election was in question yesterday. His case is, that he was chosen a burgess, and was neither resident nor freeman. Counsel agreed the law to be so.
If that member must sit, whose election was questioned, then I believe above a hundred who sit upon the same foot must go out.
A learned counsel, Mr. Finch, (fn. 3) counsel for the member sitting, did press to be heard in this case, and would make it out.
I only press this to prevent withdrawing in the case. This is a personal incapacity. The other is national. This is something which does not depend upon former precedents.
Colonel Morley. This is a report for the Committee of Privileges.
Sir Henry Vane. This is no new precedent. It has been often adjudged in Parliament. I like not scrutinizing votes. I never knew it thrive. That is not ingenuous. I would have the truth known.
I have known, in former Parliaments, such telling of noses, that one has set down persons names before the vote passed.
This is but upon a private counsel's opinion, Mr. Finch, a person to be honoured. (fn. 4) I expected some great matter. This is no new case.
I beseech you, let us come plainly to the business. It is of greater weight, the more you consider it.
Sir Walter Earle. I can justify what Mr. Bodurda has moved. Something is in it.
Colonel Birch. I move that the matter of debate be, whether the Scotch members shall continue to sit in this House; that you may have some certain foot to debate upon.
Mr. Godfrey seconded.
Mr. Knightley. I move that the clerk of the Commonwealth attend with the indentures and returns; to see by what writ they sit.
Colonel Morley. I have observed that all questions in former Parliaments have arose out of debate. Now, debate must arise out of questions. You ought to collect the sense. I wish I could hear arguments of legality and prudence.
Serjeant Maynard. I think every man that speaks in this House will not take it upon his oath that all he speaks in this House is law. The question offered is very proper and agreeable to the debate. If I be not satisfied in the right of it, I shall not give my vote for it.
Sir Henry Vane. You must be enlightened by the debate, before any question can arise; I would have the Petition and Advice considered. I have cast my eye upon it. I speak to the defect about the distribution.
I believe, before the calling this Parliament, it did not take them up a little time to consider how to call it; and there was, I believe, much difference in judgment.
They saw plainly that by breaking up the last Parliament there was a defect. If any distribution had been agreed on for Scotland, surely it would have been for England. The lawyers and judges durst not advise to choose according to any distribution since 42. If the Scotch and Irish be called by the late distribution, why not so for England?
They had a sure foundation to retire to, the law of the land, the old distribution. Then you will say, why did they not call another House? They could not call any but old Peers, and there was a bar before that which they durst not bite on, an act of Parliament. They set up another House de bene esse, and these members for Scotland and Ireland likewise, to see if you would swallow. They both sit on one foot.
They know their own imperfections: else you had heard from them before this. With England they durst not meddle upon another foot than the old law, (fn. 5) and you now sit upon that clear foot of law; and it is a great providence that you are now come together to debate these grounds.
I would have the Petition and Advice, and writs, and returns, before you.
Serjeant Maynard. That gentleman spoke to the order of proceedings, and then spoke to the whole matter. Be a person never so great, he ought not to wander so in the debate.
Mr. Grove. Any member may offer a question. It hasbeen now two days debated. The question offered you, is very suitable to the debate.
Lord Lambert. This question was never yet in debate before you. Let us go to the open matter, and understand the whole business.
Sir Walter Earle. I would clear what arises out of the Petition and Advice. His Highness is to rule according to the Petition and Advice in all things, (fn. 6) and in other things according to law. I would have it considered if this distribution be according to law.
Captain Baynes. Yesterday there was a general debate both of Scotch and Irish. You have now tied yourselves to debate upon Scotland only. None has spoken against the justness and reasonableness of their sitting in an English Parliament. The Act of Union agrees, that they shall have thirty members. I shall not now speak to Ireland. The case differs.
It is said, members have anciently been called from Scotland to sit here. It is offered you, that they can make their right out by law. If so, haply you will not think it fit that they should withdraw.
It may be both the ordinance for the union and the distribution are confirmed by Parliament. I suppose his Highness and his privy and learned council did advise about calling this Parliament. They had recourse to the laws of the land, for England.
I would not have us make a flaw in our whole foundation. We sit upon one foot, and they on another. I should be glad they could make it out by law, that they sit here rightfully; that they might not withdraw.
The question will not be, whether they shall sit here or no, but whether they shall sit, till they be brought in upon a legal foot of account. They had their votes in the Petition and Advice, which voted them out of this, so no great injury to them when by their own consent. I would have the record of the Petition and Advice before you, not a printed copy. Something may be put in as well as the article that is left out.
They plead the Act of Union, and that they ought thereby to have thirty members. If so, inquire whether they sit upon a legal foot. If that be not made out when you have heard them, they may then withdraw.
Mr. Hobart. I judge not upon particulars. First, hear all that Scotland can say, and if you be not satisfied, call what particulars you please, and then let them withdraw at your question.
Serjeant Maynard. They sit no more for Scotland than for another place. They are not arraigned here.
Dr. Clarges. I move that three things be read; the Declaration in 51, the act of the Long Parliament, and the Act of Union. They are all before you.
Mr. Lockyer. I hope you are satisfied it is no intrusion in those members. I shall not speak to the Declaration, nor to the act of the Long Parliament, (fn. 7) nor to the treaty about the union. I shall confine myself to the right of that nation. That they had a right, and have a right to sit here.
The 4th article (fn. 8) makes it out that the distribution shall be as agreed in Parliament. A bill of union was debated in a grand committee, and ready to be reported to this House. In that was a clause that thirty members should be for that nation. The House not having time to pass this, they did confirm the ordinance of union, wherein were provided thirty members for Scotland. Pursuant to this they had a possession last Parliament. I shall not say we have as good a right as England, (fn. 9) but we have a sufficient right.
Although the nation of Scotland have a right to send thirty members, yet no part of Scotland has a right to send any. That the distribution is not equal, is not consequent to any member in this House, unless he speak for a county or borough of that nation.
An assessment was laid upon Scotland by the last Parliament. You regard not the distribution, so you have your whole sum. If you have given us thirty members, you have your number. What have you to do more ?
Again: If the Parliament of England be obliged to give this nation a distribution, an equal distribution, if that nation be in possession of this distribution, as equal, it cannot be broken. If this be, bonâ fide, our possession, I say, then, you are obliged to give the nation this distribution.
It is said there is no distribution according to law, therefore they ought not to sit.
I answer: there is a distribution according to law. I shall make it out upon the Petition and Advice;per the fourth and sixth articles. (fn. 10)
None will say this annuls any laws, else no member sits here upon a foot of law. Then, whatever is not disposed of there, is referred to the laws of the land. This is a relative paragraph.
Whatsoever is not disposed, per Petition and Advice, must be according to law. It is confessed out of their own mouths, that it must be according to law. There was a law in being, before the Petition and Advice.
We have sat here three Parliaments upon that distribution; and have five years possession. By the law of our own na tion, and upon the Petition and Advice, we have right. Some gentlemen will say we have forfeited this. Let that be made out. Your and their enemies would gladly throw this bone between you and them. There is only the want of a bare formality.
I move, to put the question, if they shall continue to sit ?
Mr. Manley. It is the happiest day that ever we saw, to see them here. I shall never go on any thing that the law will not warrant. I would have a clear debate, that neither party be entangled. Let your question be, whether they have a right to sit or no.
Mr. Weaver moved, that the papers offered be read.
Colonel Terrill. I doubt, not that worthy learned gentleman (fn. 11) spoke rationally. I heard not a word he said, but that they had a right to sit. I shall speak to that claim of right.
I am not satisfied that they have a right by law to sit, though I doubt not but before this Parliament dissolve, we shall confirm them on a legal foot.
The writ is not grounded upon the Petition and Advice. It is a writ at large. The writ should have showed who should choose them. They might be chosen in London, or by votes or letters, (fn. 12) for aught appears.
14 Henry VI. (fn. 13) The King sent letters to the Sheriff to return such knights as he named. There was an Act of Parliament to confirm that, else all done that Parliament had been invalid, and the Sheriff punished besides.
5 Henry VI. (fn. 14) A statute was determined by the determining the Parliament. The dissolution of the last Parliament determined the article in toto. (fn. 15) His Highness being but one estate, could not restore it.
If we sit per the Petition and Advice, I agree with that learned Dr. Clarges; (fn. 16) they have a better foot than we, for their number is grounded on thirty. Our number is uncertain. It is a nemo scit, how a Parliament of England could sit on that foundation. Seeing they could not ground it on that, they had recourse to the law of England. We sit by that writ, and cannot sit by any other law.
I would have the record brought hither, of the Petition and Advice. A printed book is not enough. It may be mistaken. Observe, the word Highness in the fifth article, and word "successor" in the explanatory, carry it to perpetuity. In the name of God, let them carry it! but consider it well. It can never relate to the fifth article. Successor is a word of no signification in that place. (fn. 17) I have the form of the writ in my hand. It relates not a word to the Act of Parliament. That was not pursued. His Highness, having but a personal power, never pursued it. There was never any constitution of a Parliament according to this institution, of the Petition and Advice. If he never executed it, then it is impossible that his successor should do it.
I acknowledge Acts of Parliament ought to be construed as wills. (fn. 18) If it appear that his Highness called a Parliament upon the Petition and Advice, then the other House is the Parliament, and we are not; for we were not called by that Petition. If his successors may call, then may his heirs, and he may appoint his successor. I would have an Act of Parliament brought in to confirm their right.
Mr. Attorney-general. The first and, last part of what he spoke, concerned the Scotch members: the other part—you heard it.—I shall say nought to it. Much of this was said three weeks since, in the debate of the single person, (fn. 19) which is not now before you.
I am glad it is agreed by that gentleman, that the Petition, and Advice is a law. He has read upon it. As you are called hither, not as counsellors at law, but as counsellors of state, you must advise what is best and safest for the good of the whole, and not go upon quirks of law, and talk of England, and never come to Scotland.
As to arguments of prudence, if you dissolve this of Scotland, then is the Act of Pardon § gone, and the Act for settling Courts of Justice and Court Barons (fn. 21) there, is gone. Acts for Excise, and for taxes, and the Act of Union (fn. 22) also gone. If there were a formality wanting, whether is it not better to dispense with it, than to throw off a nation ?
I would, therefore, have you make this your question, that the nation of Scotland have a right to sit here.
Colonel Matthews. I second the motion, and would have that worthy gentleman bring in a Bill to that purpose. It grows late.
Mr. Secretary. All Colonel Terrills arguments went against the other House, in answer to a learned Serjeant's speech. I shall not mention that now. I shall come as near the question as I can, where it pinches.
The Union, I perceive, is agreed on by all. The ordinance, in 54, to send thirty members from Scotland, was confirmed in 56. That Parliament, in 56, styled themselves knights, citizens, &c. of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland, &c.
This Parliament, of necessity, must consist of members sent from each nation. The means are made as suitable to the. Petition and Advice as could be. The Protector was bound to call a Parliament out of the three nations. He was guided by the Act of Union as to the number, and by former distributions as to the distribution. He found them in actual possession of it, two Parliaments before. He was sworn to maintain this right. He had broken his oath, and turned them out of this liberty, if he had not done this. Should his Highness put any doubt in this, his safest way was to send his writs according to foundations before laid. Else, in so great a case, he had seemed to rob them of their right. They are before you. Put the question to continue them.
Mr. Skipwith. Id facimus, quod jure facimus.
I would have them united according to a foundation of law, that it might be unquestionable. Again, union gives not a right to send members. Wales sent no members, though they were united in 12 Edward I. till Henry VIII.
I make a question whether they think themselves well represented by persons chosen from hence, that never saw Scotland, but in a map. Is this for Union ? I question whether thirty members for them be enough.
I conceive there is no record before you of that Union. You should repeat the Ordinance (fn. 23) itself.
Serjeant Maynard. It argues such a thing in being, by saying it shall be in force. I cannot come and dispute this in Westminster-hall. If the Protector had done it out of design to out-vote you, he would have put more. (fn. 24) I would have no such thing spoken without evidence.
Colonel Terrill was rising up to explain; but the Chair told him he could not explain till the Chair called him.
Serjeant Maynard. We cannot, in leagues and contracts between nations and nations, impose upon one another. It is jus gentium must; determine it. This Act of Union passes it out of our power to alter it. It is passed and confirmed by both nations.
I shall not, one way, nor other, dispute upon what foot you stand. Admit, if you should question this, whether may not they say, but a hundred members are reasonable for you. You call them a free people, and yet will let them neither have a Parliament at home, nor have liberty to sit here. You make laws to bind that nation. You cannot bind them, but by that Act of Union.
Either you had a power to make laws for that nation, or you had none. How, then, can the laws touching taxes and the like bound them, if they have no representatives? I understand not how this can be answered.
As God has united us by situation and by the law, why should we endeavour thus to break it ? Edward I had reduced a great part of that nation. He did not own them as a con quest, but claimed part of that nation as his own. He sent for Burgesses from thence to Parliament. (fn. 25)
If you turn them out, do you not then judge that the Act of Union is not a law? Can they take it otherwise ? Is it not a tacit admission, when you make laws, with them, to lay taxes on them ? You do, at least, admit them to be members with you.
What shall the world say of you ? What will the consequence be ? What will it draw upon you, to overturn all these things for want of form ?
Both for justice and conscience, honour and safety, to avoid inconveniences; put the question, "That they be continued," &c.
Resolved, that the House be adjourned until two of the clock this afternoon.
Afternoon at half-past three.
Mr. Gewen. I honour the Scotch nation, but find no law, justice, nor right reason, why they should sit here. The argument for conveniency is no more to me than that for our fathers' polygamy, vitium temporis, non vitium hominis.
They were united to us when we were a Commonwealth. I doubt now that that Commonwealth is gone, it ceases to be an Union.
It is not for the honour of the English nation to have foreigners to come and have a power in the legislature. They are but provinces, at best. In justice, you ought not to admit any other to have an equal power with your own nation. I remember what an inconveniency it was to have so many bishops; so many votes for the king; so many votes to comply with the Chief Magistrate. Res loquitur.
I move to put the question, whether they have a right to sit with us.
Dr. Loftus. (Ireland.)
I have not tasted of the waters of Meribah (fn. 26) to be conten tious, but hearing those reflections upon these nations, I cannot be silent.
He was taken down.
Mr. Weaver said, we ought not to hear him.
Sir Arthur Haslerigge and Mr. Knightley moved, that Dr. Loftus might take him down if he saw him run into extravagancy.
Sir Anthony Ashley Cooper. He ought to have been heard out. Let him go on, at the peril of a person's discretion that he keep himself to the orders of the House.
Dr. Loftus went on, and said, that there were a sort of people in the Lords' House, formerly, that went ad nutum Regis, (fn. 27) there are sixty now that vote ad nutum protectoris.
This is a high reflection. I pray that he may give satisfaction.
Mr. Higgons. It is for the honour of this nation to be incorporate with the Scots. There is no danger of carrying the Court thither.
The question is not now, whether the deputies for Scotland shall be admitted. They are admitted, already, but whether they shall be continued to sit.
He made a very florid speech, and told us how many ways the Spaniard did make them subject, that he conquered.
Serjeant Wylde. I find those gentlemen sometimes cry up things done by the Long Parliament, when they make for their turn, and again reject them when they do not. It was the most famous memorable Parliament that ever was, since Magna Charta.
The humble Petition and Advice is a very humble one indeed; a monstrous thing, a kind of Hydra's head. You have abolished kingship, and House of Lords. You have not abolished the laws.
He made a long chattering, and. concluded against their sitting here.
Serjeant Seys. In the books there are an infinite number of cases to show that the successor is always bound where the law is but personal. They that would advise that the word Highness does not bind, successors, may have their deserts, as well as he that advised Henry VIII. to avoid Magna Charta, because he was under age.
The divine, on the fast-day, (fn. 28) told us, if we were always planting a tree, it would never grow. My motion is, that they may continue, &c.
Sir Richard Temple. I speak without prejudice either to the Union or the worthy persons sent.
I am not satisfied with the Act of Union. What was objected is not so clearly answered. For the House to confirm a record, of which they have no transcript, is strange. If you were to confirm an indenture, you would have a transcript, and on record here with you.
I find not by the Petition and Advice that either his late or his present Highness has power to call Parliaments from the three nations. There is something in that paragraph rather that he shall not call them out of the three nations, but as often as the affair of the nation shall require, not nations. Laws of the land shall be observed, not laws of the lands. I confess, in the fourth paragraph, there is a kind of implication that the distribution be for England, Scotland, and Ireland. These are not of constitution, but those words are.
I will show you how they maybe a Parliament of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and yet have no members from thence.
Commonwealth and kingdom are synonymous. I instance in Wales. The Parliament of England made laws for Wales, after it was incorporated, before they had any members. The like, when our kings had foreign dominions in France, Aquitaine, and now Jersey and Guernsey. They made laws for them here. I take Wales and Scotland to be all one.
He was at a wore ultra, and was turning his book, and they called, go on.
Lord Lambert moved that he might not be disturbed. In the mean time he got his eyes into his books, and went on.
Sir Richard Temple. That Repetitus Actus, or possession, on which they insist, does naturalize their distribution.
If this Parliament should say they will lay a tax upon this nation in such manner as shall after be agreed on, the Parliament rises, re mfecta. There is no distribution agreed on. If it be in the Protector's power to distribute (fn. 29) as he pleases, he may lay it upon one country. They never had possession, since the Act of Union. Unless you admit them now, they never have had any possession. If the Protector had been successive and hereditary, I see not but the case might be otherwise.
The Actum Walliœ distributes the members, though it leaves the writ at large.
There being such distribution, nought but an Act of Parliament, and an Act of the Parliament of England, can do it.
As to the second objection, ab incommodo, from a breach of Union, there is no such matter. Does it vitiate any of your proceedings, more than admitting two members for Higham Ferrars? (fn. 30)
I am humbly of opinion, that by law they have yet no foundation. I pray they may be suspended, till they have; and when the Act comes in I shall give my consent.
Mr. Godfrey. It passes my understanding, to know how a law made by one nation shall bind another nation. This sounds to me, as much as that you will neither allow them a Parliament here, nor at home.
No doubt, the gentleman that last spoke, had well digested cases of precedent. I have not so good a memory as to mention them all; but if that worthy gentleman may please to remember that some of them have been long since answered, viz. that of Wales. Wales, it was told you, was made part of Engknd. It was hot the Commonwealth of England and Wales. This is the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland. It was one part of the agreement with that nation, that there should be an Union. It is said, there was no Union till the last Parliament, and no possession till this Parliament. By that very admission, they have a possession. The precedent is not so dangerous. As to that of laying taxes, the case differs.
The honour and justice of a Parliament is engaged, that they shall have the fruit of what they now have a possession. It proposes an impossibility, that they should be shut out, till an Act of Parliament call them in. This is to set them aside. I would have the question put, that they shall be continued.
Mr. Knightky. Though I am not satisfied fully of their legal right, yet in their equitable right I am not against their admission. They have an article for their title. No indenture nor decree outs an equitable title.
Cui conceditur aliquid, omnia necessaria concedentur, was well moved by a learned gentleman of that country. (fn. 31) If I grant you twenty trees out of my wood, if I make you not a gate, you will make a gap. We must do like prudent men, not as counsel at the bar to plead, but to advise. It is no dishonour to them, that we have brought them into question. If you please, put the question for their continuance, I shall give my yea to it.
Mr. Gott. There are three rights, possessory, political, and legal.
We were afraid to transact with the Lords, because we were afraid to own them. We have transacted with these, and yet we have not owned them.
For the political right. If it be political that they should be united, it is also so that they should have a part of legislature with us.
We are stopped by our oaths, and the Lord Protector is also, stopped by our Act of Union, and by our Act of Recognition. We cannot alter the Union. All the parts of the Commonwealth ought to contribute to the legislature.
The four seas do environ this happy island, as the four rivers did the garden of Eden.
Queen Elizabeth made way for it. (fn. 32) They always declared she kept her virginity purposely to bring forth such a happy first-born. (fn. 33) King James endeavoured. (fn. 34) This Union must be preserved by natural means, and not by force. This is the natural way to preserve them in our bosom, by that happy accession of them to our legislature.
This has been one occasion of the great tumults in Ireland, that we have not till now taken them into our legislature.
As to the legal right. The Declarations, Act of Union, and Petition and Advice, have been so fully spoken to, both by members for that nation and our own nation, that I can add nought to that. What is objected against it is but as the Tweed, which a man may easily wade through.
It is agreed that Berwick is a part of Scotland; and we have members sitting here for Berwick. (fn. 35) Let us not do what our posterities may for ever repent. I should thus far consent that an act may be brought in, if it be but declaratory. My motion is to continue their sitting.
Mr. Scot. Which of us have said, (unless one,) that the Union is not desirable ? It is not so voluntary on their part. Are you not forced to maintain it with an army at 11,000l. per mensem? It is hearty, it seems, on one side. We sent our own commissioners to invite them to an Union.
They claim their title from Edward I. (fn. 36) Haply those were sent for from Scotland to treat, but none makes it out that it was to have part in the legislature. Edward the First's title and practice is no rule to you.
All the constitution of England, I perceive, is built upon intentions now. Another House, upon intention of another House, and his Highness must prosecute this intention. The like for the distribution of those members. What sit you for, if another must supply your laws by his own implication ? If you rise re infecta, whose fault is it ?
Possession and intention is all that the Chief Magistrate or the other House has. The like title is this now claimed. It was told you if this be not admitted, Major-generals will come, or you must fight for the other House after. (fn. 37)
I would have us give them a title irrefragable, a coalition, indeed, when it has had your sanction. Till then, they are not united to you. Till then, they are a wooden leg (fn. 38) tied to a natural body.
We use not those words expel, eject, or the like. This is like putting one in a bear's skin and then baiting him. (fn. 39) If I let another, man set dung upon my land, shall this carry away a title to my land. By this possession, all they have is but a single constitution by implication from this House, and by exemption of the single person. This may be done by declaring you need no concurrence of another House. If you please, you may take the concurrence of the Chief Magistrate.
He reflected upon his Highness that is gone.
Serjeant Maynard. I would have these reflections spared.
Colonel Whetham. We can judge of none but by their submission, their protestation. I cannot look into their hearts. I know they desire union as much as may be. I would have these reflections spared. I have occasion to know their nature by an employment (fn. 40) too honourable for me, that his Highness has been pleased to give me there.
Sir John Lenthall. That nation has had as free a Parliament as ever we had, amongst themselves. (fn. 41) All their fault is submission to us and our laws. We may very well allow them a yea, and a no, in making laws for us. If you should shut them out; they go home and tell their neighbours. May not they, by the law of nature, take a power to call a Parliament of their own ? I speak as well for Ireland.
The Spaniards have made great advantages upon the temper of the Irish; and Scotland is apt, to invade.
If every unhappiness of ours must be theirs, while they are incorporated with us, my motion is, that you would spare such reflections for the future.
Mr. Ross. (Scottish.) It may be thought strange that I should speak in a matter of this nature. But that the nation is concerned, I should hold my peace. That which called me up is to supply what the worthy person in the corner omitted. (Mr. Scot.) It was said, that all our affection to England was shown in 40. I suppose we owned it in 43. I suppose those acts are not out of mind. It is said our affections to another nation, to France, have been more expansive.
We are not to judge hearts. We expected not this language when we came. I shall not mention the consequence, what may happen, upon the prudential account, after so long possession, if this right, which we legally possess by the Union, be denied.
We are called Pharisees and hypocrites. I am sure I find none of that language in the declaration of 43; (fn. 42) there is nought there but your dear brethren: I hope we have not lost that title by our union with you. It is excepted, that we send not natives but English. It is a good sign that we reap the fruit of our union, when we can trust one another.
We have an affection for this nation. You have won our affection, not by the dint of your swords; but that worthy person, General Monk, to his honour be it spoken, and those worthy officers amongst us, have won our affections. (fn. 43) We are not so senseless as not to know better what is for our good, than to bear a greater affection for another nation than this.
We are said (fn. 44) to know no more but yea and no. I confess I am not able to contribute much to your debate; but I hope we are more than ciphers.
One gentleman complimented with us, and told us, that of civility and modesty we. should withdraw. A noble knight in the corner (fn. 45) made us a rhetorical speech to that purpose. For my part, it is not the rhetoric of the one nor of the other that shall compliment me out of doors. I think myself at home when I am here.
It was dark and I could not write any farther. He concluded his motion, that reflections for the future might be spared.
Divers stood up to speak. Some moved for candles; others to adjourn. There was a great noise and horrid confusion.
Mr. Young compared it to a cockpit.
Dr.Clarges excepted against him, as using unparliamentary language.
Sir Arthur Haslerigge justified him.
This, confused noise held for an hour, and doctors differed on the orders of the House, whether a candle should be brought to the table. It was brought thither, and carried to the table, per Mr. Speaker's command, and then set in the midst of the floor.
Mr. Speaker forced through a question for candles, many standing up in the mean time.
The question was put that candles be now brought in.
Mr. Speaker declared for the Yeas.
Sir Arthur Haslerigge declared for the Noes.
The House was divided. The Yeas went forth.
Yeas 148. Colonel Grosvenor and Colonel Fielder, Tellers.
Noes 160. Sir Richard Temple and Colonel Mildmay, Tellers.
So the question passed in the negative.
Resolved, that this debate concerning the sitting of the members returned for Scotland, be adjourned until tomorrow morning at eight of the clock, and that the same be than proceeded in; and that nothing else do then intervene.
The House rose at seven.
Sir Henry Vane. We are not able to hold out sitting thus in the night.
Sir Henry Ingoldsby. He might well be spared.
Some excepted against that expression; but it was late.

BEREA — Rookie running back Trent Richardson took snaps with the first-team offense Monday as the Browns held a 75-minute morning practice. It marked his first on-field action since undergoing arthroscopic left knee surgery on Aug. 9.
Richardson's return prompted Cleveland coach Pat Shurmur to say he will start "if he's ready to go" in the regular season opener Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
"All along, I've been hopeful that he'd be there," Shurmur said. "Now, this was his first day back at practice, so we just did what we could do, but I thought Trent looked healthy running around. I knew he'd be out here today, and he did a good job."
The third overall pick in the NFL Draft wore a protective sleeve on his knee while sharing reps with Montario Hardesty and Brandon Jackson. Richardson was not made available to the media, but his backups gave him high grades for the day.
"I know Trent felt good to be out there with us today," said Hardesty, who is listed as a second-teamer on the depth chart. "I was glad to see him, too, because he makes our run game that much better.
"With him, Brandon and (fourth-stringer Chris) Ogbonnaya, we've got a lot of guys that can do good things for us in the backfield."
While Shurmur said Richardson will get the bulk of the carries if he plays, he has been less than forthcoming on how the other backs will be used — even to the players themselves.
"Honestly, you gotta ask Coach Shurmur because I don't know anything," said Jackson, whose 4.0-yard average per carry led the Browns in the preseason. "Trent will be the starter, but I'm not sure beyond that."
As the team's best pass catcher out of the backfield, Jackson figures to see many snaps on third down. He owns the third-longest reception streak in the NFL among running backs at 21 games, but missed all of last season after tearing ligaments in his right big toe.
Jackson has not played in a game that counted since helping the Packers win Super Bowl XLV on Feb. 6, 2011.
"I'll have a lot of emotions and a lot of hype on Sunday, that's for sure," he admitted. "Knowing I haven't been on the field since Green Bay, it's something that I've been looking forward to for a long time. I can't wait for the game."
Still waiting
Browns cornerback Joe Haden remains mum about his potential four-game NFL suspension, reportedly for testing positive for the drug Adderall in the offseason.
"I have no idea," Haden said softly. "I'm not allowed to say anything about the situation."
Shurmur echoed those words, but admitted the uncertainty could affect his ballclub.
"At this point, we're moving forward with him," the coach said. "We'll just see what happens on game day."
If Haden is suspended for violating terms of the league's controlled substance policy, either nickelback Dimitri Patterson or Buster Skrine will assume his starting spot on the left side.
Patterson took part in his first practice since injuring his right ankle and right knee in Cleveland's preseason opener. Teammate Ray "Bubba" Ventrone rolled onto his leg on Aug. 10 at Ford Field, forcing him to miss three-plus weeks of training camp.
"Dimitri looked good and was running around fast today," Shurmur said. "You haven't been aware of it, but they've been doing lots of work behind the scenes."
Injury update
- Tight end Benjamin Watson (quadriceps) and Patterson both declared they would be in uniform against the Eagles, greatly helping the Browns' depth at both positions. Though Watson sat out the entire preseason, the eight-year veteran said he would have no problem jumping in against one of the NFL's better teams. "You can't make up for lost time, but that's why we're professionals," he said. "It's been a long time since I've been out there, but I'll be ready."
- Ventrone (right hamstring) took part in his first practice since Aug. 19, while fellow safety Eric Hagg (stomach flu) was sent home as a precaution.
- Linebacker James-Michael Johnson (oblique), tight end Jordan Cameron, tackle Oniel Cousins (right leg), center John Greco, and running back Ogbonnaya (left leg) were limited to riding stationary bikes. Shurmur said he was hopeful Cameron would play against Philadelphia.
Transaction time
- The Browns added defensive end Brian Sanford to their practice squad, while linebacker Solomon Elimimian was released. Sanford survived Cleveland's initial roster cutdown to 53 players before being waived Saturday. The 6-foot-2, 280-pounder has played in five games for the Browns over the last two seasons, making five tackles.
- Wide receiver Josh Gordon (86 to 13), linebackers L.J. Fort (40 to 58) and Craig Robertson (47 to 53), defensive tackle Billy Winn (79 to 90), and practice squad center Garth Gerhart (53 to 61) have changed their jersey numbers. Gordon, who wore 12 in high school and college, even has the number tattooed on his back. Unfortunately for him, it belongs to quarterback Colt McCoy in Cleveland. "I couldn't see myself wearing 86, so I had to change it," Gordon said.

School District Sends Social Worker to Collect Evaluation
On July 24, 2007, the Martins (name changed to protect family's privacy) received a visit from a social worker. The social worker asked to speak with the children, but the request was denied by Mr. Martin. The social worker eventually backed down, but left a paper that said there would be no problems as long as the children's year-end evaluations were sent right away.
The Martins contacted the Home School Legal Defense Association for advice.
HSLDA Attorney Chris Klicka found out that the Martins had already sent their evaluation via certified mail, even though their evaluation was not legally due until September because they originally notified of their homeschool program in late September. Since there is no standard deadline established by state law for submitting an annual evaluation, there was no need for a social worker to request in person the Martin's evaluation.
Klicka sent a letter to the Miami-Dade school district to inform officials that they cannot create deadline for evaluations, and that sending a social worker was entirely unnecessary. He explained that the Martin family had been homeschooling for a number of years and that there was no evidence of them ever neglecting the education of their children. Therefore, Klicka wrote, the Martins would decline the social worker's request to speak with their children.
The letter resolved the issue as the family has not been bothered since.
HSLDA Social Services Contact Policy
We desire to advise our members in every contact with a social worker and/or police officer in investigations resulting from allegations of abuse or neglect. If homeschooling is an issue, we will represent our member families until the issue is resolved. On Fourth Amendment unreasonable search and seizure issues, HSLDA will advise our members whenever the privacy of their home is violated by forced or coerced entry for the purpose of an unsubstantiated investigation. HSLDA membership benefits do not extend to court actions resulting from non-homeschooling matters. However, in circumstances where there is a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment, HSLDA may, as we have done in the past, choose to take the case in an effort to establish legal precedent.
