text: AMAZING! All the instruments and vocals - fabulous! Also, the sound person made sure the volume was perfect and the sound flawless (no squeaky microphone or feedback etc.) These people are real pros. Their repertoire was so versatile from country to rock and roll to jazz (while we were eating). And they gauged the crowd perfectly - EVERYONE was on the floor dancing the ENTIRE reception. They also did a wonderful job MC'ing the reception, which meant that we could just enjoy our friends and family with fabulous food, music, and dancing. I couldn't recommend them highly enough, and lead singer Carol Sykes is a sweetie and so easy to work with too.

Weevils feed on plants, with many species being very picky about the plants they eat. These host interactions are very important for understanding the ecology of both the weevils and the plants. When collecting therefore, it is important that the plants from which weevils have been collected are identified and noted. Therefore, as a weevil guy, it is important that I have a fair understanding of plant identification.
A key aspect of the process is knowing the proper way to collect, preserve and label plant specimens. Searching the internet has revealed good guides on the University of Florida Herbarium webpage and a PDF produced by the Herb Society of America.
It's not too arduous—pressing plant material can be done by placing the material under a few big books. Much more important is knowing what to put on the label. Plant specimens tend to be mounted on large (A3) sheets of paper, giving a lot of space to write pertinent information. Therefore, major additional categories from that on insect labels include its frequency (is it rare, common, or something in between?), and details of the plant's height, growth habit and description of aspects of the plant that disappear when pressed (e.g. colour of flowers, smell and sap). There's also the space and ability to provide exact locality data and more detailed habitat information than is possible with insect labels.

Village Underground
Never been, what's it like? Ultimately I'll buy a ticket anyway but just out of curiosity.
I've not been to be honest.
I remember walking past it, but can't remember exactly it is.
Obviously I'm going to have to find out before November!
I was just looking for a London date a couple of days ago and couldn't find anything on Songkick
thought I was gonna have to go for the Manchester date, very glad I didn't now!
Yeah so pleased my friend sent the link to me.

Combine Instances from Multiple Movie Packages by Databasing
Databasing is a way to combine multiple movie packages into a single movie package. You can only database coded instances, meaning that there will be no uncoded time in a databased movie package. If you want to combine timelines without any instances, use combined timelines.
When you database instances, you'll be creating a standalone file that copies the video from the original timelines. Each time you send instances to a database, the selected instances will appear at the end of the timeline.
Open a movie package containing instances you'd like to database.
Select the instances you'd like to database.
Click the Database icon.
Click New standalone database.
If you are databasing to an existing movie package, click on the file name of that movie package and click Export to.
Name the file and select the save location. Click Save.
Click Yes to add the selected instances to the movie package.
Click OK.
To add additional instances to that same database, close out of the current database, then repeat steps 1-3 and select the name of the database you created earlier.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Dating Tips and other Date topics.
There are lots of dating do's; here are are a few 'do nots' for the first (or any) date. 1. Avoid anything elaborate – plans and situations that are too intricate leave too much room for disaster during a first date. 2. Avoid appearing distracted or not looking into your date's eyes. 3. Don't be boastful; nothing ruins a date more than needless pretension. 4. Don't use the date as personal therapy. The point of the first date is to get to know someone – not to vent your frustrations, hang-ups or personal history. 5. Avoid being self-deprecating and always thank your date for any compliments. 6. Avoid talking about past relationships while on a date. Nothing ruins a first date more quickly than someone who can't stop talking about their ex. 7. Try not to be nervous on your date. A case of nerves can make the date awkward. Don't try to deal with nervousness by consuming alcohol, either; getting drunk will make the situation even more awkward. 8. Keep the first date short. If it's bad, you can both leave quickly; if it's good, you're both left wanting more.

This month was the NOM NOM edition. We turned our attention to all things FOOD… cooking, eating, sharing, from restaurants to the kitchen table. We picked from a delicious lineup of films: sumptuous chocolates and sweets in a quaint French town in Chocolat, a sampling of America's hot spots- smoked brisket in Texas, beignets in New Orleans and cubanos in Miami- in Chef, and over 100 Tawainese recipes make their way to the Sunday dinner table in Eat Drink Man Woman.
And the winner was…
114 min
Director: Jon Favreau
Stars: Jon Favreau, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson
After a controlling owner (Dustin Hoffman) pushes him too far, chef Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) quits his position at a prestigious Los Angeles restaurant. As he tries to figure out what his next step should be, he finds himself in Miami. Carl joins forces with his ex-wife (Sofía Vergara), best friend (John Leguizamo) and son (Emjay Anthony) to launch a food-truck business, and the venture provides a chance to reignite his passion for cooking — as well as his zest for life and love.

A few years ago I began watching The Good Wife. I cannot remember why I started. but back then I thought it was a family drama–the story of a bad husband, a good wife and a string of women (on the side), but it was more than that. If you journeyed with Alicia Florrick through 7 seasons, you are familiar with her personal liberation. A lowly housewife, pushed into the limelight because of a scandal, she fought through the treacherous road, picked herself up and rode the waves.
My Dream of Taking Up Law
I am a dentist, but do you know that once upon a time I dreamt of becoming a lawyer? Yes, I have proof in my yearbook. And I will rummage through my treasure chests to look for my grade school yearbook, but I am not completely motivated for a number of reasons: 1) I look absolutely gross in my grade school graduation picture; 2) I do not know which box it went to the last time I packed it; 3) I do not want to inhale dust and get asthma just so I could show you my yearbook write-up. So basically, I am asking you to trust me.
In grade school, I wasn't exactly decided yet, but I hoped to either be a dentist, a lawyer or a writer. I, obviously, ended up taking up Dentistry because I felt it would bring more stability, and somewhere along the way I imagined I would be a bad lawyer because I would just cry in court: "No your honor, that's just unfair! You cannot do this to my client! You cannot do this to meeeeeee…" Nope, I'm too dramatic for court… but I would surely deliver an amazing opening and closing statement–no doubt about that.
A funny lawyer story… I cannot remember how old I was then, but I was getting ready for school and my dad was getting ready to leave for golf, and we were having breakfast together.
Papa: Do you know what you want to take up in College?
Crix: I'm not really sure yet. Maybe Dentistry, or Journalism, or Law. Maybe Law.
Papa: Law? Really? That's a good choice.
And then he reaches for his wallet, takes out some money and gives it to me. I smiled. In my mind I thought I could keep this up and he would keep giving me money, right? Hahaha. Anyway, I shared this story to my sister and she did it too when her time came. She did get money from my Papa, too. I don't know what it means, though. What do you think?
The Good Wife Final Season
Anyway, when I realized that Game of Thrones was about to close for the year, I panicked. I needed to ease moving on from episode 10 and I decided to marathon the final two seasons of The Good Wife. I successfully did it in just a few days, but I am so disappointed with the ending. I feel absolutely robbed. It's like this: I've invested so much emotion on the show and then you end it that way? That is just an insult.
I need a lawyer! I want to sue for damages! I need a proper ending for The Good Wife! If I took up Law, I'd sue them myself… just kidding. Anyway, if you can just stay away from Season 7 of The Good Wife, do. It's going to be a waste of your time. Bye!

FRAMINGHAM (01/31/2000) - A U.S. judge has granted a temporary restraining order against Toronto-based television webcaster iCraveTV from webcasting broadcast television feeds from its icravetv.com Web site.
The order by U.S. District Judge Donald C. Zeigler came in response to copy infringement charges filed against iCraveTV on behalf of the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, 10 motion picture studios and three television broadcasters.
The judge also ordered iCraveTV to supply copies of its Web server logs to the plaintiffs by no later than Feb. 2. ICraveTV must also post a US$25,000 bond by the same deadline and file a report explaining the steps the company has taken to ensure compliance with the order.
The order became effective Friday 6:30 p.m.
ICraveTV President and Chief Executive Officer William Craig said the company is complying with the judge's order and is "considering all strategic, technological, and legal options" available to it.
Webcasts from icravetv.com were confirmed to be unavailable.

I know it's like two weeks late, but I finally sat down tonight to edit/upload some photos from our week in Maine for July 4th. I wish I could blame this delayed post on my two kids and how super busy I am but honestly I've just been lazy. (Also my current Netflix binge of Parks and Rec has been taking up the majority of my time after I put the kids to bed).
We were in Ogunquit which is a really nice little town. Ogunquit used to belong to the gays but us heterosexual assholes had to swoop in and take over because it has such a beautiful beach and also it's bougie AF. It's always the gays who discover the good shit and we really ought to spend more time thanking them. Sometimes I feel bad about this land acquisition but my dad owns a house up there, so I'm really not going to stop going. (Also if you've been there and have hit up Maine Street can you tell me how it is because I need to go).
July 4th in Ogunquit was LIT. There was a huge dance party thing going on at the beach before the fireworks started. Greg started dancing while I was in line for ice cream and of course Maddy joined. So many people were taking videos of them rocking out and one woman even came over to show us her footage. It was awesome. I've been waiting for the videos to go viral and pop up on my Facebook feed but I guess I'm gonna have to become famous the hard way.
I promised Maddy we would bake a cake for the 4th, one of those Pinteresty/Ina Garten flag cakes. I was not about to whip this thing up from scratch so I bought a box of cake mix, a can of frosting, some non-organic berries and called it a day. I allowed Maddy to frost and decorate the cake (though it was really hard for me to not control the sitch) and we brought it to the beach to eat while watching the fireworks. It was one of my better parenting moments of the trip.
Anyway, here are a bunch of pictures from our time up there!

Jalandhar: In fresh trouble, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) sleuths summoned Raninder Singh, son of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) chief Capt Amarinder Singh for alleged Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) violation in the much-publicised UK-based Jacaranda Trust case. The ED has summoned Raninder Singh for June 16 at Jalandhar, where his role in hawala transactions and foreign entities would be probed. It was learnt that the ED sleuths might also question Capt Amarinder Singh in connection with his son's case.
According to information available, ED Assistant Director Ajay Singh has issued summons to Raninder Singh for June 16. It is pertinent to mention here that a Ludhiana Chief Judicial Magistrate Ranjeet Sharma had sent summons to Raninder Singh for July 26 on the complaint that Raninder lied to the IT Department about trusts allegedly owned by him in British Virgin Islands. Political observers maintained that the summoning of Raninder Singh and that of Capt Amarinder in the near future, would hit his political career hard. "Raninder was already under the scanner for having lied to the IT Department about his trust in UK.
Now, he was being summoned by ED," sources said. Earlier, Raninder Singh, his mother and former Union External Affairs Minister and present Patiala MLA Preneet Kaur's name emerged in Swiss Bank Account list. The name of Capt Amarinder Singh has also come up in that list, causing trouble for the former Chief Minister of Punjab. Raninder had also lied about money in Switzerland-based accounts. Meanwhile, Captain Amarinder has junked the summons that it was Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's way of getting back at him and his family for the electoral defeat in Amritsar inflicted by him upon Jaitley.

Below are stories about the wonderful families who we have supported and helped:
We first met Leah at Addenbrooke's hospital on the day of one of Henry's MRI scans. She is a wonderfully friendly girl, and that day she was smiling through a day of chemotherapy treatment.
After we were contacted by Leah's family, we provided them with a grant which paid for them to visit the Winter Wonderland at Center Parcs for 5 days in December 2015.
Leah's Mum Sarah says "The charity helped us so much with being able to go on a family holiday, which we all really needed before we went. Leah was very stressed and was sometimes difficult to handle as she was having long difficult tantrums and suddenly suffering anger problems. She was very down, until we got on holiday. She absolutely loved our time away and we all had such a lovely time, there were no tantrums on holiday and hardly any at all since, she really needed that break from it all and I cant thank you enough because just with us having a holiday its helped her so so much x"
This wonderful girl was treated at Addenbrooke's at the same time as Henry and we became very close to their family, and have remained firm friends. It helps so much having friends who truly understand what life with a poorly child is like.
The charity the family a grant which paid for them to go to Center Parcs to create magical memories after brain surgery and 13 months of gruelling chemotherapy. They had a wonderful time.
This wonderful young boy is another child who we met during Henry's treatment. Following several months of chemotherapy and surgery in the UK, he and his family needed to go to America for specialist radiation treatment (proton beam therapy) and we helped contribute to the huge costs of treatment away from home by providing them with a grant. This meant they could spend a weekend away at the ranch away from the hospital whilst they were in America.
We are in regular contact with this family and they attended our Christmas party in 2015.
Another wonderful brave boy who we came to know really well in 2013 at Addenbrooke's.
We provided the family a grant so that they could spend some quality time away from hospitals and gruelling chemotherapy treatments which made him very poorly. They chose to use the grant to go to Cornwall and spent lovely time together on the beach.
After nearly 2 years of chemotherapy and all the horribleness that it involves, sadly Jasmi relapsed. This has meant that Jasmi and her mum needed to move into Addenbrooke's hospital onto the oncology ward for at least 3 months, which will be probably followed by a bone marrow transplant in another oncology centre in the UK, involving at least another 3 months in hospital. We provided Jasmi with an iPad so that she could use it during her time in hospital to help with her education and keep her busy.
Jasmi's mum says " Jasmi's iPad has been an absolute life saver. With so much time spent on the ward it means she never gets bored."
After 9 months of chemotherapy and surgery, we provided this lovely family with a grant which they chose to use to spend a week in Portugal in the sunshine to try and get away from all they'd been through and make some wonderful memories together.
Following surgery to remove a tumour on his kidney and several months of chemotherapy too , we provided this lovely family with a grant which was used to help enjoy time away on a trip to Disneyland Florida.
His mum says " When Joseph's immunity was low and he picked up lots of nasty bugs, we were staying at West Suffolk. Unable to come out if our room for days it was a pretty miserable time. I got in touch with Katie and she came visiting with toys and she listened. We were invited to the Christmas party. Joseph and Patrick had a wonderful time. The professional photo that was taken of us, I will treasure forever. We haven't applied for our grant yet, but I already know that a huge big holiday is needed. It's something to look forward to when you are stuck I hospital and having a tough time. We want to be able to treat joseph when all this madness calms down and give him a holiday that he's been missing out on."
His mum Lorna says " I think this is a wonderful charity. What Katie does for the West Suffolk children is nothing short of wonderful. We have not taken the grant yet, but when we're all ready to go on holiday we will be taking up the very generous offer. I remember the first Xmas party we attended (which we almost didn't) was fantastic, it lifted all of us and now, we are always excited for the next one (no pressure Katie!) I think we are all very lucky to have Katie in our lives. Xxxx"
In December 2014 and 2015, we held our Christmas party. We invite all families to attend the party and enjoy every minute. The families are treated to lots of craft activities including cookery and making personalised memorabilia.
We are also joined by the wonderful Allison Johnson from Allison Johnson Pictures (http://www.allisonjohnsonpictures.co.uk) who takes amazing family pictures for all of the families.
This year we were also joined by Vanessa of Nessasneedles (http://www.nessasneedles.co.uk) who helped the children to make personalised Christmas decorations.
We also have a wonderful cake made for us by the wonderful Velvet Cakery. (https://www.facebook.com/thevelvetcakery131/)
Father Christmas visits us which all the children love, and the charity buys all the children and their siblings a Christmas gift which he delivers. We also buy a little gift for the parents too.
The party is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with other families who understand what life is like having a child with cancer and how difficult things can be. More importantly it's amazing to create such smiles and make some very brave and special children very happy.

Classes are the fundamental construct of all OO (Object Oriented) programming languages. Most modern programming languages are OO (C++, Java, Php, Python, etc.). OO languages essentially deal with objects that have properties and can do certain things. The 'class' file defines what the available properties and functions are, and the 'objects' are instantiations (or 'versions') of those classes.
For example, a 'car' can be understood as a class … and a Peugeot 504 can be understood as an object. The 'car' class might have a property called 'engine_size' and the Peugeot 504 sets that property to be the value 1.9(L) (or whatever engine size 504's used). A 'car' might also offer a function (or method in OO parlance) called start(). When start() is called on a car ( like this: car.start() ) … the car starts!
In this Spark, we go over how to create classes for the Arduino platform.
- The Arduino language is a variant of C++ (i.e. it is mostly identical, with a few notable exceptions)
- C++ Classes do not need header files, but most consider it good programming practice to use them. Some opinions can be found on stack oveflow and here
- Arduino plugins are just Arduino classes.
- Arduino classes are C++ classes with a few limitations:
- no new and delete keywords
- no exceptions
- no libstdc++
Two useful Arduino class tutorials are:
- The standard Arduino one
- This Adafruit one where the class is *within* the sketch and does not use header file!
To create a CPP file within the same Arduino IDE window, see this stack overflow answer.
Create the necessary files (in the necessary place)
Start by creating both a header file and its corresponding cpp file. These need to be created in a folder inside the ~/Documents/Arduino/Libraries folder. For example, I'm going to create the following files:
- ~/Documents/Arduino/Libraries/Penpivot/Penpivot.h
- ~/Documents/Arduino/Libraries/Penpivot/Penpivot.cpp
You could use a simple text editor to create these files, or a proper code editor (such as Sublime Text).
Now open those files in your favourite text editor.
I also like to create a "test" or sample project within the plugin / class folder. I usually place this in an 'examples folder. So my folder hierarchy looks like this:
Declare some methods
The first step is to declare some of methods that your class will make available to the Arduino Sketch. Start with only one or two methods (so that we can test the compilation). For example, in Penpivot.h, I am defining the following methods:
class Penpivot { public: Penpivot( float leftWheelDiameter ); void pivotLeft(float deg); void pivotRight(float deg); private: int translateAngleToStepperSteps(float angle); float _leftWheelDiamater; };
public methods are methods that can be seen to code outside of the class. private methods are methods that only the code inside the class can use. There is a 3rd type: protected which is mainly used when building large packages of code (large plugins or platforms etc.). For the purposes of building a little Arduino plugin private and public will likely be largely sufficient.
Of course, I say this is the first step, but in reality this step will be constantly revisited as the class is revised, evolved and tested.
Test the compilation
Now that we have some code in our header file, we can test the compilation. This will just confirm that everything is in the right place and all the files are linking together properly.
You'll need to make sure that your example Arduino sketch imports your class header file. Here's what the default Arduino window (including the added #include directive) will look like:
#include <Penpivot.h> void setup() { // put your setup code here, to run once: } void loop() { // put your main code here, to run repeatedly: }
Here's what my complete development environment then looks like: (note that the Arduino sketch called 'example' below isn't the one saved to the plugin folder. Arduino doesn't let its IDE save any sketches to the Libraries folder).
Now, try to compile your code (by hitting the 'tick' button in the Arduino IDE). If all is good continue below. If you get a mistake go over the above steps.
If you find you have no problems then it can be a good idea to make a code error just to check to see if the compilation breaks. That way, you for sure than any future code errors will be picked up immediately.
Best practice header structure
It is highly possible that an external library will try to get imported multiple times (as a header file), so we need to make sure that we check if a library has already been imported. This check *wraps* the header file thus:
#ifndef Penpivot_h #define Penpivot_h #include "Arduino.h" class Penpivot { public: Penpivot( float leftWheelDiameter); void pivotLeft(float deg); void pivotRight(float deg); private: int translateAngleToStepperSteps(float angle); float _leftWheelDiamater; }; #endif
Notice that in the above code I have also included the Arduino.h header file. This means that all methods exposed by the Arduino platform will also be available in the extra library/class being built.
Implementing the declarations
The header file just declares, or announces, to the compiler and to the other code which methods are going to be made available to them. The header file doesn't actually involve writing any logic. The logic itself belongs within the *.cpp file.
As a start, write the below into your cpp file, and test the compilation
#include "Arduino.h" #include "Penpivot.h" Penpivot::Penpivot() { _leftWheelDiameter = leftWheelDiameter; }
Now lets make sure that all the methods in the header file are spelt out in the declaration file.
#include "Arduino.h" #include "Penpivot.h" Penpivot::Penpivot( float leftWheelDiameter) { _leftWheelDiameter = leftWheelDiameter; } // Public Methods implementation void Penpivot::pivotLeft(float deg) { // this code is reponsible for pivoting the artbot to the left } void Penpivot::pivotRight(float deg) { // this code is reponsible for pivoting the artbot to the right // Only the methods within this file can call the protected methods // So the next line works int steps = translateAngleToStepperSteps(deg); // now tell the stepper to step steps amount. } // Private Methods implementation int translateAngleToStepperSteps(float angle) { // this code translates the desired pivot angle // into stepper steps for each respective wheel. // For now, it just returns any integer return 1; }
Again, compile the code to make sure that nothing is broken. I'll leave it up to you to fill in all of the above
Using the class in the Arduino Sketch
To use the class in the Arduino sketch requires that the header of the class is imported. Back in the Arduino IDE, you will need to instantiate (i.e. make an 'Object') the class by doing the following:
#include Penpivot myPivotingPen(55.5); void setup() { // put your setup code here, to run once: } float deg = 0.0; void loop() { deg = deg + 1; myPivotingPen.pivotRight(deg); }
Of course, there are many more aspects to a class that the developer can use. Once this basic structure has been defined, however, the rest can be added incrementally.

Most Nepalese know that NEPAL is the abbreviated form of
With this little but most illustrisious scentence. I like to introduce NEPAL. Nepal is a landlocked country situated in between giants neighbour between China and India. The border of Nepal is all side surrounded by China in North. It is mainly divided in 3 Regions according to the geographically
1. The Terai Region
2. The Mountain Region
3. The HImalayan Region
The HImalayan Region.
Containing nine of the world's fourteen highest mountain peaks, Nepal is a true Himalayan kingdom. The Himalayas cover three fourths of the land in Nepal. It is home to some of the highest, remotest, most rugged and most difficult terrain in the world. The loftiest peak in the world -- Mount Everest -- and other high peaks like Lhotse, Nuptse, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Manaslu, plus the presence of some exquisitely beautiful trekking routes, attract hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world to this lovely Himalayan destination
The country of Nepal can be divided into three parallel bands running from the northeast towards the southwest. Along the north of Nepal runs the GreatHimalayanRange, the highest mountain range in the Himalayan system. This range has an average altitude of about 4,570 m (about 15,000 ft) and remains perpetually snow-covered. On this range rise some of the loftiest mountain peaks in the world -- Mount Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Annapurna.
Further south runs a complex system of intermediate ranges at an altitude of 8,000-14,000 ft. Prominent ranges in this mountain system include the Mahabharat and Churia ranges. High mountain ranges are interspersed with broad inhabited river valleys. The third and southernmost region is the Terai, a swampy terrain which is the northern extension of the Indian plains.
The Mountain Region
The Mountain Region (called Parbat in Nepali) is situated at 4,000 meters or more above sea level to the north of the Hill Region. The Mountain Region constitutes the central portion of the Himalayan range originating in the Pamirs, a high altitude region of Central Asia. Its natural landscape includes Mount Everest and the other seven of the world's ten highest peaks, which are the legendary habitat of the mythical creature, the yeti, or abominable snowman. In general, the snow line occurs between 5,000 and 5,500 meters. The region is characterized by inclement climatic and rugged topographic conditions, and human habitation and economic activities are extremely limited and arduous. Indeed, the region is sparsely populated, and whatever farming activity exists is mostly confined to the low-lying valleys and the river basins, such as the upper KaliGandakiValley.
In the early 1990s, pastoralism and trading were common economic activities among mountain dwellers. Because of their heavy dependence on herding and trading, transhumance was widely practiced. While the herders moved their goths (temporary animal shelters) in accordance with the seasonal climatic rhythms, traders also migrated seasonally between highlands and lowlands, buying and selling goods and commodities in order to generate muchneeded income and to secure food supplies.
The Terai Region.
In complete topographic contrast to the Mountain and Hill regions, the Terai Region is a lowland tropical and subtropical belt of flat, alluvial land stretching along the Nepal-India border, and paralleling the Hill Region. It is the northern extension of the Gangetic Plain in India, commencing at about 300 meters above sea level and rising to about 1,000 meters at the foot of the SiwalikRange. The Tarai includes several valleys (dun), such as the Surkhet and Dang valleys in western Nepal, and the RaptiValley (Chitwan) in central Nepal.
The word terai, a term presumed to be derived from Persian, means "damp," and it appropriately describes the region's humid and hot climate. The region was formed and is fed by three major rivers: the Kosi, the Narayani (India's GandakRiver), and the Karnali. A region that in the past contained malaria-infested, thick forests, commonly known as char kose jhari (dense forests approximately twelve kilometers wide), the Tarai was used as a defensive frontier by Nepalese rulers during the period of the British Raj (1858-1947) in India. In 1991 the Tarai served as the country's granary and land resettlement frontier; it became the most coveted internal destination for land-hungry hill peasants.
In terms of both farm and forest lands, the Tarai was becoming Nepal's richest economic region. Overall, Tarai residents enjoyed a greater availability of agricultural land than did other Nepalese because of the area's generally flat terrain, which is drained and nourished by several rivers. Additionally, it has the largest commercially exploitable forests. In the early 1990s, however, the forests were being increasingly destroyed because of growing demands for timber and agricultural land.

Things besides guns we should ban to give ourselves the delusion of safety
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NEXT
We should totally ban cars. Cars can drive into crowds of people at any moment in time and kill people by the dozens. Imagine if a bus crashed into a pedestrian mall?
Not sure why you need to muddle the issue, because a high total homicide count is still going to be high when you do the per 100,000 thing regardless of how big the population is. But if you want to see it.
Challenge Accepted:
Firearms related homicides per 100,000 people.
United States, 4.14
If done the way you suggest it to be done, the U.S. still leads homicides compared to the rest of the world. How bad does it make us look compared to China, who has a billion people and we still get 4 homicides per one of theirs?
Before you think it, the statistics do not control for drug related issues. This is a straight up look at firearms deaths per 100,000 people. The only reason, it seems, to bring up the drug connection is to add unnecessary qualifiers to the data.
Statistics provided by the UNODC 2000-2002, Krug 1998, and OAS 2011.
Slippery slope much?
Law are not proactive. You can't arrest a guy because he is going to murder someone in the future but currently doesn't know the guy yet. They are reactionary. In a sense, all they can do is punish someone for what they did. There are certain laws designed to try and prevent future crimes, such as if they can prove a guy had a detailed plan to kill someone they can arrest the guy for it, but it will never guarantee he was going to carry out that plan and actually do anything. You can't blame laws for acting as a 'punishment' and not stopping people from doing something. It would be a far worst state where the police arrest you for the action you were probably going to commit in the next 5 minutes. Laws can't prevent crime because people are going to do what they want, they can only do there best to try and deter it and to try and provide justice when a crime is committed. The only way to prevent crime at all is to create a police state and kill all civil liberties. The effectiveness of laws aside from that is debatable and even more of a quagmire then the debate about guns in general. I still think laws prevent crimes, but I'm not going to try and argue it.
However, it still boils my blood when someone thinks that decriminalizing something makes everything better, I don't believe this shit line about the mystique of things, and it still makes me mad when people think that having a gun is a good form of self defense. It boils down to cold war ideology. The world is perfectly safe so long as we can both kill each other, unless one of us actually makes a move in which case we're all dead. I think a world where no one has guns is safer then a world where everyone has guns. I'm not going to try and argue that either since that's another quagmire and I have better things to do with my life then an internet argument over that.
If you say "yeah well you can't prove he was going to shoot someone" I can just as easily say "yeah well you can't prove that he wasn't". That's not a good line of reasoning.
I find it ironic that the exact same logic drives the idea 'If I have a gun, I can defend myself' as 'If they have laws against guns, it will prevent gun crime'. Both of it is wishing thinking and hoping and both can go horribly wrong. The other guy can have a bigger gun, or you could shot someone who posed no threat, and criminals can still illegally buy guns. Both sides are scared and looking to try and defend themselves somehow. Maybe we should be trying for a world without a reason to fear instead of one where we have to try and defend ourselves against that fear.
Nonsense! Humans are stupid and the government must control everything to ensure that they cannot harm themselves or others!
Giant monsters. Why because they don't exist...yet.
You are comparing statistics from different years? Besides the fact that they are outright wrong, that is bad juju(the US hasn't seen anything close to 4.0 in decades!):
Now these are statistics! Also, this, firearm ownership rates for all above countries:
Behold, the complete lack of correlation!
All stats are from 2009*
Nonono, see you are comparing firearm homicide, not actual homicide. Here are the actual homicide rates:
Yet again, no correlation!
So basically you are disagreeing with me... By agreeing.
I am against the concept of a "police state" and Minority Report style thought police. Which is why I don't like the idea of licenses and registration of firearms.
Like I said... I am not against laws. Making guns illegal in certain places works, in others it doesn't. In the US there are hundreds of millions of guns that could just disappear into black markets as soon as the owners watched them being banned.
You compare guns to the Cold War... Kinda pointless, because the Cold War did prevent nuclear war, but anyway... I don't believe that.
Any gun is a gun. A gun is a gun is a gun is a gun. Sorry for the circular logic, but a gun is, indeed, a gun.
Doesn't matter if an assailant has a "baby-murderer-cop-killer-armor-piercing-high-capacity-incendiary-heat-seeking-.50cal-assault-weapon".
A .22LR will bring him down despite not being the appropriate ammunition to use on humans.
Shooting someone posing no threat? I'm sorry, but that is kind of hard to happen unless you're shooting at American paper-thin walls like a madman with no regard for your family or neighbors.
I just love firearms for what they are, I love engineering. If they allow me to defend myself, it's the cherry on top.
It's not so much a slippery slope... when cars actually kill loads of people, and knives can only be purchased by adults in England.
Look, this argument was addressed in the "4 fallacious arguments about gun control blah blah blah" cracked article someone made a thread about earlier, and I'm sure people have mentioned it ITT, but i'll say it anyway. Guns are designed to kill. That is their only purpose.
I won't make any more points than that, I won't even come to a conclusion so as to avoid a long debate, but I just wanted to point out how OP's point is fallacious.
Look two posts above you please, there is no correlation between gun ownership rate, and gun crime rate. That is the only counter-argument needed to disprove a gun ban, but I have others I would be willing to copy paste from my previous posts if you would like?
I did not say I was for or against gun control, and thought I made it clear that I would not like to address any other points than the OPs, but I guess not.
Your gun ownership and crime rate evidence is probably great and all, but I don't really care about gun control or no gun control because I don't think I've ever touched a gun in my life, or ever been threatened by one.
I just wanted to say, in all the arguments against gun control, OP's is the least valid.
I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, I'm summing up my thoughts and trying to decide what I believe in. I thought that was the point of having arguments.
Also, if you don't see the cold war mindset, its really about the intention. The idea of that equal deadly means can end conflict yet during the cold war the world very nearly enter an armed conflict multiple times and people were in constant fear of their lives. There was no war but things could have quickly gone south and the fear people had was not a plus to living conditions.
Nuclear weapons have that pesky feature of being able to be fired in retaliation in case someone makes the first strike.
Shooting an assailant will not make any gun automatically target you.
I don't get how the concept of escalation and mutually assured destruction can ever relate to firearms outside the John Woo standoffs. Like I said, a gun is a gun is a gun. Doesn't matter which one you're wielding as long as you use it well, and I couldn't care less about what kind of weapons criminals have.
I fear crime and being treated by a criminal by the government. But I don't fear the lumps of metal they chose to carry.
Legally, it does need to be on the same level as pot, alcohol, or smoking.
A dangerous product is a legal nightmare for both consumers and companies. All you get are precedents that say "fuck consumer safety, pump more chemicals into that shit."
The FDA isn't exactly in good shape right now, so it can't really do its job to protect consumers even if it wanted too. The Budgets cuts the FDA are deep.
Even the "cutting" problem wont be fixed in America, because "cutting" a product is legal in America. Food companies do it all the time.
Don't forget they live on an island. Its easy keeping contraband off of an island.
After checking wikipedia the stats are a little higher.
The most interesting point that I saw is that Canada has a gun ownership almost as high as the United States and less then half the homicide rate per 100k. In Canada, handguns are highly regulated and assault weapons are restricted to police and military. So this is a solid argument towards tightening control over handguns and, well, guns that are only intended to kill people.
Well if you live in a cold climate, dogs can actually get pretty cold on long walks. We have special boots for our dog because after about 10 minutes without them, she just stops walking and alternates lifting each foot off the ground to try and keep them away from the snow. I think of the fir as their sweater and the actual sweater as their winter jacket.
It's totally not alright in warm climates though.
captcha: exercise more. Shut up! I literally just got home from a 12 hour hike going up and down a mountain.
Your two claims in this last paragraph can't coexist.
- "A person with a gun will always have power over a person without"
- "The power should rest with all of us equally"
These two statements conflict UNLESS you say that Everyone should have a gun OR NO ONE should have a gun. Otherwise, the power is necessarily not distributed equally according to your own claim. So, which is it? Do we all have the power, or do some of us get unequal power?
Also, I think that conflating guns with power is one of the worst things you can do, ever. In doing this, you fail to see where other power comes from. Perhaps you even deny that power can come from anywhere but physical violence. Or the threat thereof.
Should guns be banned? No. I don't think so.
Should we address this problem as though it actually is a problem and stopping trying to compare it with other things (like falling off a ladder)? Yes.
Knowing if someone broke into my house that I have the ability to put two slugs in their legs then call 911 while drinking a Mikes Hard Lemonade isn't the delusion of safety, its the definition of it.
Green lasers (and every other laser with a higher energy rate). The last few nights people have been shot with green lasers in the town I live in (Landskrona, Sweden) and one person became blind a few years ago after being shot in the eyes with one. There's nothing (except blinding people more effectively) that green lasers can do that red lasers can't.
Yes, lets ignore the fact that Canada is a country high higher standards of living and less poverty.
Assault weapons are only used in about 1% of the crime in the US. Their restriction in Canada is a moot point.
Besides, in Canada it is possible to own assault weapons such as AR15 or the VZ58 even if you're not in the police.
Japan is also the country where a woman was killed because criminals modified an airsoft gun.
Japan is also a country with a shit-ton of suicides.
How about not comparing totally different countries and cultures while pretending that a metric ton of other factors are irrelevant?
No it's not. Busy ports can have millions of containers moving around every year. It would be impossible to check more than a few of them.
Woah woah woah. Who's talking about banning anything? The way I see it, people are merely asking for more responsible gun laws.
The dreaded term.
You can't pass "responsible"/"sensible" gun laws. Those terms have been used for what... two decades? And it has been used by the Brady Campaign, Rosie O'Donnell, etc. The hypocrites, the fat cats that want your "cheddar" and the emotionally damaged people who despise guns because a murderer used one to kill a relative instead of any other weapon.
What do you think would allow for "responsible gun laws"?
>can't ban anything that is legal now
Heck, if you can actually think of a law that is actually effective and simple enough to prevent bureaucracy you might be on to something big.
Its actually easier to monitor ports than it was even 3 years ago. Every shipping container is marked from where it came from, what ship it got on and where it got off to the exact second it got on the ship, off the ship and stacked. My cousin works for the port authority in NY and they can tell what is in every bin because its monitored thoroughly from the load up to the offload to when it leaves the facility. Japan has a similar system in place. Most of the contraband that comes into the US comes across the US-Mexico border, in Japan they have to watch their water routes and they do a damn good job at that with China being awkward next-door neighbors.
I dunno, I haven't really been following this whole pro guns/anti guns thing, so nope, sorry can't help you. I don't know enough about this subject to even attempt to make any kind of statement about it.
However, I did stumble upon an interesting article just recently which I think may shed some light on why did whole debate seem to have reached a deadlock.
So, in all the above examples you can use those items for docile purposes, cars can drive you around, knives can cut food, forks hold it for cutting, pointy sticks make charming fences, dangerous chemicals can make scientific advances, public transport gets you around
What exactly do guns do other than shoot things to inflict an injury?
You can weaponise normal things you can't de-weaponise something who's only purpose is to injure or kill people.
You got any other arguments?
Shoot inanimate targets for fun/points. Deter crime without even firing a shot, just with their mere presence.
I'm not at all for banning guns, but.. yeah, stupid argument is stupid.
I will give you one point OP... if we ban all guns they will not go away but just live in the black market.
But banning guns in general will never happen... that whole 2nd amendment in the US and what not. (Yes I am making the assumption here that this is directed at the US). With that being said I do believe that putting some additional restrictions would prove to be beneficial to society. Maybe making it way more difficult to get guns... since about 40% of gun sales don't require any background checks. These are legal gun sales. There are ways to make it more difficult for the crazies of the world to get guns. Also there is really no other use for an assault rifle for anything else other than to kill people... which begs the question... why allow them to be sold to the general public at all?
As someone who has nearly died in a car accident I am under no illusion that I am ever truly 100% safe, but I will not live my life in fear of being killed by random incidents and let that run my life. I believe in controlling the things I can control about my health but in the end random shit happens. We have some control on guns as a people and it is our responsibility to do something about it. It will not stop all disasters but if it just stops 1 it's worth it.
First one is valid-ish, in the same way a Bow and Arrow are fun for shooting targets with, but both functions are solely weaponised functions. Not getting into the deterrent side of things because that's not the point of what I was saying.
No-one's asking for "Stricter knife control" (though in some places there already is strict knife control) because knives are used for preparing food, whittling wood, a range of things, guns are used for shooting things and that's all they do. Even as a deterrent the deterrent is "I will kill you", do guns serve any purpose other than the use of/threat of lethal force?
Lawyers and Prosecutors
Helps to fight carnivores and pests?
Do they need to?
O.o Do you remember the first post I quoted? The bit you editted out where someone was advocating banning cars and sticks because they could be dangerous? That's the point I was making, people may want stricter gun control because guns are only used for shooting things, the other things they listed all served useful purposes besides that. That was the argument. People may want stricter gun control because guns don't have an innocuous usage.
Personally I believe we should ban the use of walls, I mean one could come falling down and crush you at any moment without warning. Plus you can stub your toes on them and that kinda hurts.
well americans love money more than anything, i suppose the government could buy back the guns, kind of like recycling cans... then again the government is broke so i guess a corporation could do it for long lasting tax cuts, sort of a reward program for the corp that gets the most guns out of civilian hands.
or the government could go retro and make a new contra scheme, where all the bought back guns are sold to the worlds rebellious militant factions

Subject: Daily Mail Registration Page Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards & XSS Web Security Problem
Newsgroups: gmane.comp.security.fulldisclosure
Date: Friday 30th October 2015 14:48:11 UTC (over 3 years ago)
*Daily Mail Registration Page Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards & XSS Web Security Problem* *Website Description:* "The Daily Mail is a British daily middle-market tabloid newspaper owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust. First published in 1896 by Lord Northcliffe, it is the United Kingdom's second biggest-selling daily newspaper after The Sun. Its sister paper The Mail on Sunday was launched in 1982. Scottish and Irish editions of the daily paper were launched in 1947 and 2006 respectively. The Daily Mail was Britain's first daily newspaper aimed at the newly-literate "lower-middle class market resulting from mass education, combining a low retail price with plenty of competitions, prizes and promotional gimmicks", and was the first British paper to sell a million copies a day. It was at the outset a newspaper for women, the first to provide features especially for them, and as of the second-half of 2013 had a 54.77% female readership, the only British newspaper whose female readers constitute more than 50% of its demographic.

Luleå is known for its many good hotels. In recent years, the demand for top class accommodation in the area, has risen dramatically and as a result, many hotels of a high standard have been established in central Luleå.
The award-winning Clarion Hotel Sense, rated as one of the best hotels in Sweden by guests, towers over Luleå's city centre next to the North Harbour. Clarion was an instant success, both with locals, who enjoy a drink in the skybar with a view of the harbour or a bite to eat at the restaurant – and with guests – the hotel is currently expanding to keep up with the ever increasing demand. In central Luleå, close to the bus and train stations, you will also find Hotell Savoy. The Savoy is the latest hotel to spring up in Luleå and it has been an instant hit. Its restaurant, Jazzmatsalen, serves great food and you can also have a lovely cocktail in the bar. The rooms have a luxurious feel and nothing is far away when you stay at The Savoy.
If you would like to stay close to restaurants and bars you could book in tothe renowned Elite Stadshotell, whose restaurant and bar will give you everything you need for the duration of your stay. The same thing can be said for The Quality Hotel, located near Stadshotellet, with the bar, Invit, right next door and a very high standard of accommodation. Outside the city centre, but still within walking distance, you will find Scandic Hotell, part of the large chain of hotels famous for their quality and level of service. Located near the ice hockey arena and not far from the countryside, Scandic is popular amongst visitors. We are also happy to recommend Hotell Naran in Luleå city centre as well as Comfort Hotell close to both the train station and the city. What all these hotels have in common is very high-standard of accommodation as well as excellent staff. In Luleå, you can always have a pleasant stay, in close proximity to the places that you may want to visit. That is what gives this city its identity.

The children sang a variety of songs from different countries in front of any audience of staff and parents.
It was a lovely opportunity for the children to perform with other schools. Many thanks to Mrs McCormack for her work with the children throughout the year and to Jo McNally for her support.
It was wonderful to see so many parents in the audience, your support is appreciated.

BJP plans to counter Congress on National Herald issue
The ruling BJP is firming up an offensive against the Congress on the National Herald issue with plans to counter the Opposition outside Parliament once the winter session is over.india Updated: Dec 19, 2015 16:24 IST
The ruling BJP is firming up an offensive against the Congress on the National Herald issue with plans to counter the Opposition outside Parliament once the winter session is over. The Delhi high court on Saturday granted bail to Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi.
A realisation of Congress' strategy to block the government's legislative agenda has started to dawn upon the treasury benches and it may wear an aggressive posture inside the two Houses for the remaining days of Parliament.
"Whatever excuse they make, it is the court summon to Congress' top leadership in the National Herald matter that has rattled the opposition party. We are still open to discussing issues with them, but summons is a matter in which we cannot help them," a top BJP leader said.
Senior ministers of the Modi government and BJP chief Amit Shah earlier held a deliberation in home minister Rajnath Singh's office in Parliament complex and, a source said, the National Herald issue and CBI's raid on Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's principal secretary was discussed in detail. External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj, finance minister Arun Jaitley and urban development minister M Venkaiah Naidu were also present at the meeting.
Party seniors admit the constitutional amendment bill to roll out the GST may not see the light of the day in the current session.
Jaitley is also addressing an event of industry bodies in Delhi on Wednesday where he will make an aggressive pitch for the GST, a subject high on the government's priority. "The industry will also exert pressure on the Congress," said a minister.
"We are mulling over programmes outside Parliament to build public opinion against the Congress for stopping some progressive legislations for no reasons. We will soon announce it," BJP secretary Shrikant Sharma said.
Earlier in the day, the party issued a whip to its MPs asking them to remain present in their respective Houses for the remaining days of Parliament.
In a meeting, the BJP parliamentary party voiced concern over the way the Congress was creating "obstruction" in the path of development. A booklet titled National Herald case: Family Greed and National Blackmail was also distributed among the BJP MPs.

We had a BUSY weekend.....whew!
Even though Jonah's actual birthday isn't until Thursday, we had a great party for him on Saturday. His friend Miss Linda (a zoo worker who just loves Jonah) put on an amazing (and free!) show at the zoo with some great little critters to pet/touch.
Then we played in the sand, saw a few animals and moved on to the party at home. Here we played pin-the-tail-on-the-lion,
enjoyed an elephant birthday cake,
and the kids all jumped on the trampoline, played with the bubble machine and tossed frisbees and footballs around. It was chaotic, loud and FUN! :) Jonah loved it all and had such a great time!
On Sunday, Henry was invited to a birthday party for one of his friends. We would have skipped it (it started at 3 and we had superbowl plans!), but Sam changed our plans, invited everyone to watch the superbowl at our house and Henry, Bridget and I headed to Chuck E Cheese for the party. That is Henry's favorite place in the world, so he definitely had a great time! (Henry is the one in the picture with the blue visor on. We made those at Jonah's party, and Henry hasn't taken his off yet-three days later!)
Then we headed home to host our last minute superbowl party! We had fun enjoying the company, eating way too many snacks and watching out for good commercials. Oh, and watching the game too, ha ha!
Jon and Kelly stayed awhile after the game for a few rounds of Guitar Hero (I'm pretty much a rock star!) and to play cards.
And here are just a few more pictures from the zoo!

The Kiwanis Club of Petoskey presents "The Great Rocky Mountain RV Adventure" as the third installment of its Travel and Adventure series with travelogue speakers John Holod and Jodie Ginter at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 8, at Petoskey High School auditorium.
"The Great Rocky Mountain RV Adventure" follows the Rockies from New Mexico to Montana, exploring the familiar and not so familiar natural wonders and wildlife along the way. Some of the featured stops include: Bandelier National Monument and Cumbres & Toltec Steam Era Scenic Railroad Tour in New Mexico; Pike's Peak Cog Railway, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Independence Pass and Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado; The Green River Float Tour and Flaming Gorge National Recreation area in Utah; Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming; and Hot Springs and Glacier National Park in Montana.
Holod is an internationally recognized cinematographer who has filmed all over the world. He studied cinematography, journalism and photography at Wayne State University in Michigan. He stands out in the travelogue industry because he travels in a state-of-the-art recreational vehicle, immersing himself in the culture and surroundings he's depicting.

Ginter is co-producer of John Holod Productions. Before her life on the road, she worked in Christian education and youth ministry. A native of Hilton, N.Y., Ginter attended Roberts Wesleyan College in Chili, N.Y., and did seminary training at the Methodist Theological School in Delaware, Ohio.

Dehydrated/freeze-dried camping food is great for hiking, backpacking, or camping meals because you don't have to keep it cold to avoid spoiling.
While coolers/refrigerators can work well in some situations, ice or electricity isn't always available making dehydrated/freeze dried food very attractive. While removing the water helps preserve camping food it also has another benefit...
Camping, backpacking, or hiking food that's freeze-dried or dehydrated can reduce weight by sixty to ninety percent. If you're carrying a backpack or other hiking gear with a few days worth of camping food and supplies this can make a BIG difference.
As with any prepackaged food you'll probably find most camping food portion/serving sizes extremely optimistic or after a long day of hiking...laughable. I'm not sure who dreamed up the system but keep it in mind when you're buying it because otherwise you'll probably be going hungry, or if you're carrying a pack all day you might even be undernourished.
Something else to keep in mind is the design of the container itself. The containers with corners can make it difficult for the boiling water to mix with the camping food leaving dry spots. Also tall narrow containers make it almost impossible to reach inside with a spoon without getting as messy as a two year-old, as you work your way down to the bottom. (A quick fix is to trim off the top as you eat.) And if you're a light eater or use them afterwards for trash some of the containers have a "ziplock" type of closure which can come in handy, if they're not trimmed to ribbons. ;-)
Some camping foods can now be heated with a heating pouch by adding water to a chemical heating source. The advantage is there's no flame. The drawback is they weigh more than the pouch by itself and there's more trash to dispose of properly. So it may be better to just bring a small stove if you're backpacking.
Camping food offers tradeoffs. While it isn't usually gourmet that doesn't mean it has to be bad. After all a gourmet meal would make for a lot of extra weight and inconvenience. Not my idea of a fun trip. The reason people buy it is because it's light, convenient, and it can provide a quick hot meal. As for taste...

Cunningham Briber Asks 9th Circuit for Retrial
PASADENA, Calif. (CN) – A defense contractor convicted of bribing former Republican Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham struggled to persuade the 9th Circuit to grant him a new trial.
In 2007, U.S. District Judge Larry Burns sentenced Brent Wilkes to 12 years in prison after he was convicted of bribing Cunningham, 72, with cash and other incentives. In exchange, the Republican politician from Rancho Santa Fe allegedly helped Wilkes secure $90 million in Pentagon defense contracts for his document-scanning and software business, ADCS.
Less than a year later, an appeals court released Wilkes on bail while he appealed his convictions for conspiracy, honest services wire fraud, bribery and money laundering. He has since been a free man.
In 2006, Cunningham, a former Navy flying ace, was sentenced to eight years and four months in prison and ordered to pay $1.8 million in restitution for taking $2.4 million in bribes.
San Diego federal public defender Shereen Charlick asked the 9th Circuit on Monday to grant Wilkes a new trial in light of new evidence that Cunningham said in prison that Wilkes never bribed him.
Charlick also argued before the three-judge panel that prosecutors should have granted immunity to defense witness Michael Williams, a former ADCS executive who managed a $9.7 million project to scan documents in Panama for the Department of Defense.
She said Williams' testimony could have changed the outcome of a trial she that she claimed had portrayed her client as someone who cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars by billing for work that was either inferior or never performed.
Two key witnesses for the prosecution were Wilkes' nephew Joel Combs and defense contractor Mitchell Wade, who both testified against Wilkes in exchange for immunity.
But the panel appeared skeptical of Charlick's claim that Williams' testimony would have "directly contradicted" that of Combs and Wade.
"I'm struggling to find where there is a contradiction," Judge Milan Smith said.
Charlick argued that without Williams' testimony, the trial was unfair. Williams would have established that Wilkes did not defraud the government, she said, undercutting her client's "motive to bribe."
However, assistant U.S. attorney Phillip Halpern cast doubt on the credibility of Williams' testimony and speculated that he would have done more harm to Wilkes' cause than good.
"If they put that witness on that stand, he would have been ripped to shreds," Halpern said. "I think frankly it would have been worse."
Halpern noted that Williams never saw invoices for equipment that prosecutors said Wilkes' company never supplied.
"I'm not sure it really would have helped [Wilkes]," Halpern said of Williams' testimony.
As an aside, Judge Paul Watford questioned why Wilkes had been granted a bond pending appeal.
"What did you say to allow that to happen?" he asked the prosecution.
Halpern replied that the issue was a "sore subject."
"This is one of those instances, we're talking about the largest congressional bribery case in history," he said. "And I'm asked: 'It's how many years and the guy's still not in jail?' I don't like that and it's unfortunate."
Charlick responded that the 9th Circuit had granted bail twice because Wilkes' legal challenge presents a "substantial question."
"My client here seeks a fundamentally fair trial," Charlick said, slamming the "incredibly inaccurate negative portrayal" of her client and the court's decision not to grant immunity to Williams.
Judges Smith and Watford are joined on the panel by Judge William Fletcher.
