LAURA JAYES (HOST): Late this afternoon I spoke to the Shadow Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus and asked him when he wanted to see the government act on the Bob Day matter, what should have been the best time, if indeed Labor is accusing the government of acting too late?
MARK DREYFUS, SHADOW ATTORNEY-GENERAL: As soon as they became aware of the problem. And what's become apparent today is that the government kept this secret. The government was well aware, not later than August, before the Parliament even convened, of the problem about potential ineligibility to sit in the Senate of Senator Day, of former Senator Bob Day. And that's the time that the government should have made this clear.
JAYES: Well there is a bit of a timeline here though as well, and bear with me while I go through it, because I think it is important. On the 23rd of August, Brandis and Ryan sought advice from the Australian Government Solicitor. On the 26th, the Special Minister of State, Senator Ryan, wrote to Bob Day seeking further information. Bob Day responded on the 29th of August. On the 8th of September, there was further information requested from the Australian Government Solicitor. And then on the 20th there was more information requested. A copy of the vendor's finance agreement was received on the 26th of September. On the 4th of October, advice from the Australian Government Solicitor came back and it was "not conclusive". The Prime Minister was then briefed. External advice was then sought from David Jackson QC because of that "it was not conclusive" finding. On the 7th of October the Attorney-General briefed David Jackson. They terminated the lease on Bob Day's office. David Jackson requested further information. Senator Ryan wrote to Bob Day and requested further information from Bob Day again. That was provided that afternoon. He received advice from David Jackson. They wrote to Senator Parry and Day on the 28th of October. And now we are on the 7th of November. The Senate has moved a motion to refer the matter to the High Court. So, when in all of that, should the Government have made this public?
DREYFUS: Well that's the government's timeline. And what you need to remember Laura is that the government knew that there were problems with this in February 2014 before Bob Day even took up his seat in the Senate for the first time. He'd been elected at the 2013 election, but before he even took up his seat he's putting forward this extraordinary proposition, that a building he owns should become his electorate office requiring fit outs and benefits to him. And the Department of Finance advised the then Special Minister of State that this did not look good.
JAYES: But even the Australian Government Solicitor has seen this as so complex - he found the matter not being conclusive and even wanted a second opinion from David Jackson QC. So can you see the government's difficulty here in not wanting to come out prematurely and make this allegation against Bob Day, when it didn't have all the information, or it didn't have conclusive advice?
DREYFUS: I can see the Government's difficulty was that they wanted Bob Day's vote. This matter stinks. And the government is dribbling out bits of information designed to make it look like the government did something right here. In fact the government did nothing right here. We know from Question Time in the House that the Prime Minister knew some time in August, before the Parliament even convened, that there was –
JAYES: But Mr Dreyfus why should he have acted when the advice was inconclusive from the Australian Government Solicitor? And then they received further advice from David Jackson? Weren't the government just being prudent?
DREFYUS: No, the government has dragged its feet because the government wanted to have Senator Day's vote on the ABCC bill. And they were desperate to keep him in the Senate. They were desperate that there be no proper investigation of this matter until the vote could be had. Well that has ended because his financial affairs have resulted in his resignation from the Senate. But the government has got no decent story to tell here. The government wanted Day's vote. They were quite happy, I think, to turn a blind eye to the problems and go very, very slowly on investigating this matter.
JAYES: But that timeline in particular, I mean, you can't fault that. I mean, this is day-by-day.
DREYFUS: I can fault it. I do fault it.
JAYES: Okay, there was a ten day period in there where Senator Ryan was off because he'd had his second child, so there was a bit of a delay there, but what's the problem with the rest of the timeline?
DREYFUS: Well the Prime Minister knew in August about this and they should have got –
JAYES: Yes, and then they agreed to seek further advice from David Jackson QC.
DREYFUS: Very slowly Laura. And if all of the information here –
JAYES: But that took a month –
DREYFUS: That's far too long, this is a –
JAYES: But that's David Jackson's…he sought further information and then they've got that advice on the 27th of October, on the 28th they wrote to Senator Parry and Bob Day.
DREYFUS: They've got counsel available to them. He is called the Solicitor-General of the Commonwealth. And there is a question there, why didn't they go to the Solicitor-General of the Commonwealth? Whose resignation I might say only took effect today on the 7th of November. Why didn't they go to Justin Gleeson and get his advice? Why didn't they get advice about this many many months ago? These problems have been in the knowledge of the Minister of Finance, Senator Cormann, who became Special Minister of State. They've been in the knowledge collectively of the government since before Bob Day became a Senator. And I think the government is actually just trying to put a very very brave face on matters by saying we actually did look at it and now we're taking it to the High Court…because it would be a scandal if they didn't.
JAYES: What would you have done if the Australian Government Solicitor came back and said it's not conclusive, we're not quite sure whether he is eligible…
DREYFUS: Well I don't know if they did say that. I don't know that the government has said that advice from the Australian Government Solicitor was inconclusive. I think that was the proper time at which the matter should have been referred to the Court of Disputed Returns from the Senate. Right away, before Senator Day was even sworn in, this matter should have been directly grappled with by the government but of course this government wanted to get his vote.
JAYES: But what are you particularly concerned… what did the government want Bob Day's vote on in particular? Because they didn't keep him there for the ABCC, so what has he voted on which you are so concerned about?
DREYFUS: Well they wanted him there for the ABCC bill.
JAYES: But he's not there, so what has he voted on in the last couple of months that Labor is concerned about?
DREYFUS: No I'm concerned about the way they wanted to keep him there to vote on the industrial legislation. And it hasn't proved possible, that's why they're now taking it to the Court because...it would have been scandalous if they hadn't.
JAYES: But if they really wanted his vote on the ABCC, wouldn't they have brought it forward to one of the sitting weeks between, I don't know, August and October?
DREYFUS: I'm not answerable for this government's incompetence. I'm not answerable for this government's delay, I don't know why they are not now bringing forward these two bills, the ABCC Bill and the Registered Organisations Bill, which was said to be the double dissolution trigger…
JAYES: Yeah but Bob Day won't be voting on them, because he has resigned.
DREYFUS: Too right he won't, but they wanted him to vote on it, that's crystal clear, they must be very disappointed that he's resigned from the Senate. Having gone down this path, eventually, very slowly, investigating it, of course they have to go to the Court of Disputed Returns because whether or not he was validly able to even take up his seat affects who will replace him.
JAYES: Does the Act, does the Human Rights Act need to change so they don't have to go through that compulsory conciliation on what is seen to be frivolous and vexatious claims? Are you willing to at least look at that Mark Dreyfus?
DREYFUS: I'm willing to listen to what the Human Rights Commission has to say about whether it's working…
JAYES: And Gillian Triggs said at the last Senate inquiry that she's willing to work with the government on looking at that. So are you at least open to that idea?
DREYFUS: Of course, I'm open to any agency, any Department looking at how its processes can be improved. But against a backdrop of proper information. The proper information here is that we have got around 100 complaints a year going to the Human Rights Commission. A great majority are resolved, and a great majority are resolved promptly to the satisfaction of both parties.
JAYES: But you're not going to support a parliamentary inquiry?
DREYFUS: I don't think we need a parliamentary inquiry, particularly we don't need a parliamentary inquiry to tell us what we already know, which is that this law has served Australia very well for the 21 years it's been in operation. I think Tony Abbott reached that conclusion when he dropped the suggestions for change or repeal of 18C.
JAYES: Retrospectively perhaps he didn't. But I think Andrew Broad is of the same opinion as you today, so ending on a unity ticket. Mr Dreyfus thank you for your time.
DREYFUS: Good to be with you.

The world needs another publicly traded solar-energy company as much as it needs another Starbucks in a suburban shopping mall, or another overpaid New York Yankees ballplayer.
To be fair, yesterday's filing to take Real Goods Solar public is somewhat unusual. The company isn't a major manufacturer of photovoltaic panels. It hails from Colorado instead of China. Oh, and its parent is a company associated more with yoga mats and new-age CDs than with sucking juice from the sun.
However, Gaiam's green, Earth-focused philosophy makes offering solar residential integration through Real Goods Solar a logical move.
Real Goods isn't new to the game. The company has been around since 1978 and had brought solar energy to more than 30,000 homes. In other words, like Kermit the Frog, Real Goods was green before being green was cool.
For its part, though, Gaiam could have had better timing. It could have taken the subsidiary public a year or two ago, when consumers were eagerly buying solar-energy stocks.
Solar-energy plays such as First Solar
The only related company to pull off an IPO so far this year, China's ReneSola
The industry isn't any less vital, but the valuations had been getting out of whack, especially given the competitive landscape, with more well-funded players jumping into the fray.
Real Goods Solar won't necessarily be a falling star, though. It's serving a niche residential market that should sell well as a story stock. By the time the IPO hits the market, sentiment may have turned favorable again on the solar-energy industry. If so, Gaiam could become a compelling investment, too.
On its own, Gaiam is profitable and growing, with revenue climbing 24% year over year through the first nine months of 2007. If Real Goods is able to command a healthy market cap on its own, Gaiam's investment will also appreciate in value.
The moral of the story is to look beyond the dark clouds. They'll pass. How bright the sun -- and the solar-energy stocks -- will shine beyond that remains to be seen.

Ryan and Stephanie Martin fostered two sets of children. The last found a permanent place in their home.
Fostering was always an option. But it wasn't untilthe private organization FaithBridge approached their church inAlpharetta, that they decided toget involved.
"They have people who are approved to babysit, are bringing you meals, who pray for you, will provide for clothes. So all of that comes around you as you are in foster care," said Stephanie, smiling as she flipped through a photo album of her adopted boys.
The Martin's say those are services not readily, orat least easily,available to traditional foster families. It also helped that they had a FaithBridge case worker that could interact on their behalf with DFCS.
"It's hard to get in touch with your DFCS worker a lot of times. I don't think that its that they don't want to talk with you, I think it's that they're so overwhelmed they don't have the opportunity too," said Martin.
They see the privatization bill as a way to free up DFCS workers to focus on child abuse investigations and permanency plans for children in the state's care.
But other private organizations toldreporter Rebecca Lindstrom, FaithBridge is in the minority of those who feel Senate Bill 350 is a good idea.
Doug Mead with Georgia Agapeappeared before House lawmakers Wednesday, to argue the bill as it stands now is not the answer.
"Why would we want to go and tear down our whole structure right now to go and do something that is not showing it is providing any better results for children than we have today?"Mead asked.
Mead and other opponents say the effort to mirror Georgia's foster care system after Florida's is short sighted.
"There's evidence that Georgia is doing better than Florida in many of these important outcomes," said Mead.
Kathy Colbenson with CHRIS Kids says thesupport for change stems from the tragic deaths of children like Emani Moss and Eric Forbes. But points out, they weren't in foster care.
Even if they were, she worries about liability. Right now the state can't be sued. It's unclear if private companies could.
"There needs to be a thoughtful analysis of the system," said Colbenson.
She's pushing for a study committee before passing any new policy on foster care.
"We're marching forward on a path that's paved with good intentions and everyone wants what's best for children," she told lawmakers.
Colbenson says state and federal funds don't cover actual costs. CHRIS Kids operates on a $12 million budget. At least $2 million of that has to be raised through private funds.
She worries organizations that can't raise additional money, will cut corners instead, reducing services for children and putting them at risk.
Colbenson says half of the children in foster care, are already served through some type of private organization, partnering with DFCS rather than calling the shots.

The Chase Your Dreams foundation is a nonprofit founded by Brother Chase Treadway who fell victim to a paralyzing accident in 2009. Due to chronic recurring infections from the accident, he was unable to regain the strength needed to take on physical rehab. Chase started this organization to inspire a sense of dignity and re-fulfillment for those who may have acquired a disability like his. Our recently created spring philanthropy, The Ducky Derby, raised over $8,000 in donations and sponsorship for the Children's Museum and the Chase Your Dreams foundation this past spring of 2017. This collaborative philanthropy with the Children's Museum of Brazos Valley has allowed us to give back and connect to the College Station community and to Brother Treadway's organization in ways never thought possible.
In addition to our spring Ducky Derby, the men of Delta Kappa Epsilon also participate in ramp builds with The Texas Ramp Project every fall as well as maintain a portion of Rock Prairie Road in College Station. This philanthropic outreach is one of the many pillars that make up a Tau Chi Deke.

For every woman who wants a natural, drug-free vaginal birth, there are 10 more women waiting to tell her she is wrong, crazy, judgemental, sanctimonious, and will choose the epidural as soon as she can. The desire for a natural birth is still a long, long way from being the socially acceptable way of giving birth. But that doesn't stop the medical establishment from trying hard to scare women away from them.
A recent story in Daily Mail tells the horror story of a woman so blinded by her "obsession" to give birth naturally that her son was a stillborn thanks to stubborn midwives who ignored her doctor.
To be sure, it's a tragic story, one no one would ever want to see repeated. But wanting a natural birth didn't cause the death. Bad midwives caused it.
The fact is, drug-free vaginal birth isn't going to be for everyone. Any good midwife knows when to send her patients to the hospital or to involve a doctor. This idea that every midwife is obsessed with making sure her patient gets the birth she wants regardless of who lives or who dies is simply off-base.
It makes midwives and women who want natural births look insane. Big shock. At a certain point, can't we all just get along? Women can want epidurals and C-sections without that saying anything about their character or sanity, so why can't women NOT want either of those things without the same respect?
There are bad doctors who push C-sections and bad midwives who push for natural birth at any cost, but the latter is much rarer. And this idea that is so pervasive in pop culture -- that the natural birth movement is for fringe hippy freaks -- is really sort of offensive.
I had two completely drug-free, natural births, both of which were uneventful, quick, and relatively easy. It's possible and doesn't have to be a big deal.
Medical intervention is great if a woman wants it or needs it, but pretending like it's always necessary is just misleading. There are tragedies in birth sometimes. It's much rarer than it used to be, but it happens. Women also die -- and lose their babies -- after C-sections sometimes.
It's horrific and tragic any time a mom or baby is lost, but their desire to have the best birth for themselves didn't cause it. There are bad midwives just like there are bad doctors. It's imperative to trust yours and to know when she will say when. But it isn't the natural birth movement's fault.
Do you think natural birth is an "obsession"?

Emails Show Palin Struggled to Deal with Negative Press
(WASHINGTON) -- Sarah Palin was eyeing the vice presidential nomination months before John McCain made her the official pick, but as media and public attention on her grew, she struggled with the negative press and emails she received.
That is part of the picture emerging from the more than 24,000 pages of emails released from Palin's time as governor of Alaska.
The content of the emails ranges from state business to questions of haircuts, elation over her vice presidential nomination to surprise at how fast she was catapult onto the national stage, and, in some of the most revealing messages, personal distress about the negative media that surrounded her.
Shortly before being named McCain's running mate in August 2008, Palin expressed her desire to focus on Alaska and view that the GOP was unsupportive, telling her staff, "Our time and effort will continue to be spent on serving Alaskans, not party politics."
A few weeks later, she was singing a different tune, when McCain announced her as the other half of his presidential ballot. "Can you believe it?" Palin wrote in an email, "He told me yesterday -- it moved fast!"
She found herself, and her family, in the international spotlight. Palin's political and personal life became the focus of intense scrutiny. Press secretary Bill McAllister emailed Palin about media inquiries about rape kits, tanning beds and her "belief that dinosaurs and humans co-existed at one time?" He ended his email by saying, "I continue to be dismayed at the media."
"Arghhh! I am so sorry that the office is swamped like this! Dinosaurs even?! I'll try to run through some of these in my head before responding," Palin wrote. "And the old, used tanning bed that my girls have used a handful of times in Juneau? Yes, we paid for it ourselves. I, too, will continue to be dismayed at the media."

First off, I have to say that I love my stamps. There's just something about opening up a drawer full and digging through them to find just what you need. But not too long ago I found myself loving all the digital art & doodles too. How cool to be able to "stamp" on my digital layouts and all available with a quick download.
If your like me and enjoy digital doodles or word art and even clip art then why not print them out and use them on your cards and tags too? Just think...a stamp in any size you want! It's as easy as opening up an image you like, sizing it and then simply printing it out on the paper you want.
On this card, I printed out the image from Talking in Circles by Sande Krieger. I just opened it in Photoshop Elements, sized it to fit my card front and then printed it out. I colored in the image with Prismacolor Pencils and a blender pencil....just like I would with a stamp!

On my second card I printed out a beautiful doodle created by Leah Riordan of Mommyish Designs. (seems my info is old and I couldn't find a current blog or site she sells at. If anyone knows where to find her, let me know so I can link it up. Thanks!) After printing this one out, I colored it in with Prismacolor Pencils and Stickles glitter.

For this one I used a clip art image from Dover Publications. You can purchase their books that come with CD's and there are tons to choose from. If you sign up for their newsletter you can get a link to free clip art samples each week. That's how I got the beautiful rose image. It's a great way to try out their clip art. I wanted to test out my printer ink with various types of coloring to see if it would bleed. I used Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils and my water brush to color in the rose. My printer ink did bleed slightly, but honestly not enough to bother me. It seemed to have more bleeding where I colored lighter but I don't think it was anymore than certain dye inks.

For the last one I did a walnut stain. The bird image is from Digicraftshop and after resizing it, I printed it just like above. But this time I inked it up with some Distress Walnut Stain, misted it with water and then used my heat tool to "move" the wet ink around to get the stained look. I was very surprised at how well my printer ink held up because I did quite a bit of misting! The image did soften a bit from the water, but I think it just adds to the aged feel.

You can find lots of available clip art on the web along with many talented digital artists. So even though I love getting my hands inky with traditional stamps, I found that I love using my digital "stamps" too!

When Fabricio Coloccini injured his back in the home game against Southampton on 24th February, after trying an over his head clearance, he was out of the side for over two months with that back injury, until he returned at West Ham on 4th May, and we managed to get four points out of the final three games of the season.
Alan Pardew – coping without Colo is a big boost
And while Colo was out we played eight Premier League games, won two of them lost five and drew one, and we conceded eighteen goals, so we didn't cope very well when Colo was out of the side.
But things have been much better over the last three games the captain has missed with his groin injury, and we have four points and conceded four goals.
That has not gone unnoticed by manager Alan Pardew, who had this to say today about Colo's absence:
"It is the first time we have lost Colo and looked more comfortable than when he's been out in the past." "That is a big boost for us as a group."
"When you lose a player and you can't cope it affects everybody else." "We have proved we can cope without him and Cabaye and anybody because it is about the team."
"It shows we are stronger in depth and that's good." "I think we've been in good form." "I said that before the Chelsea game."
"It is very difficult to beat a team in top form like Chelsea were." "So all credit to the players, they've been fantastic."
Mike Williamson and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa have played in central defense since Colo has been out and both have been in good form.
But Alan Pardew could still bring Coloccini back into the starting lineup at Tottenham on Sunday, and that seems to be the big unknown at the moment.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.

I know we shouldn't give up on players… Look at Deb, Anita and Tiote now, red faces on those who criticized them.
YET: I've all but given up on Taylor. 1. He never plays, hence is a disruption when he returns. 2. He is prone to Bramble-style howlers.
Also, given up on Obertan. It's crazy but I've never seen him dribble past a player! (as always, video evidence would be much appreciated) This is a winger, he's supposed to dribble, once in a while. I would've done that, at least once, in 3 years.
PS. Ed, go to bed man, you've lost a lot of posters three four threads back 🙂
We don't penetrate enough for his game. We are set up defensively and he was a player who prospered when he first came in a team that was attacking….was one of the top scorers in Budusliga in a team that was fighting relegation….tough league!! Goals against Swansea perfect example of releasing the ball at the right time, even the goal v villa last season away!! Now when we attack we have 1 person in the box, even in the first half against Chelsea it was the same. The season we finished 5th we had 3 or 4 bodies in there!! Look at Southampton as a unit, we have a better squad with better first team 11 I believe but they have a manager who understands the modern game…Pressing high up the pitch, getting 4/5 players in the box to get goals. Buying the right players to fit his formation and not just buying for the sake of buying!! That's what can be achieved with an ambitious manager, it's what you do without the ball that is just as important as when you have it!!
Yes we borrowed well in relation to Remy, but we have to utilise him in the right way though. Borrowed though? For a club that is in the top 20 for revenue we can't afford to pay 7m or whatever it was? Now his values doubled and whatever he does this season for us will mean count for nothing in the future because we only get him for a year. Remy is a wide playing Forward, play him through the middle and the kid is useless, play him with someone who drops deep and he is useless. Play him with someone who will look to run in behind and he will score….because that space is created for him
Transfer Sage,
Think you will find Harry played the lad out wide and not through the middle, the lad made a BS reason for why he joined QPR (He went for the money) not that I have an issue with that because we would all move to do the same job for more money!! Yes completely understand the loan deal, but he looks to drop deep and doesn't play on the shoulder. Never has anywhere he has played in his career
I honestly think we have a deal to sign Remy in place it will be for the 8 million he was available for in the summer if we managed to get him for that it would be the deal of the century as the guy is top drawer
The only problem is are we attractive enough for him to stay ? We probably wont offer the top wages and ambition to qualify for europe so its likely he will move on after the season ends to the likes of Spurs or Arsenal where he will no doubt become a club legend there!
I would just love it if for some reason Ashley had a change of heart and sanctioned another spending spree in January imagine we got Ince , Gomis and Zaha on loan and then signed another defender as well ??Could all be signed for under 12 million potentially could be part funded by selling Marveux ,Obertan and Gosling ? We can all dream but last season there was no way we would sign all 5 French players and try to get Remy so stranger things could happen ha ha
Also why are our youngsters always injured!!Just read that Streete and Good will not be fit enough to go out on loan so thats going to be another couple of months of development wasted
i think it was a few things…redknapp is a good attacking manage which makes forwards look a lot better and helps them get into international teams.
He also got to live in london, really does help to pull people to clubs as its a busy place and good if you have plenty cash.
Then he also got the release clause so even if they went down he wouldn't have been stuck in the championship.
Was a safe gamble for the lad.
Yeah I'm not slating the kid for his choice, which I still firmly believe was for the money, it's no surprise that both him and Samba were released along with Taarabt yet they kept the likes of Barton? they got rid of highest earners, we wouldn't offer north of £65k + on someone new!! I've watched the games from last season and the way his team was set up was for remy to play either behind the CF or out wide (same position he scored the crazy side footed finish from)
Our Toon,
The Remy deal bares no significance to what I commented on. You were having a go at Ashley JK and Pardew because they would go sign a player like Zigic. There is nothing in our transfer policy to suggest we would. Got nowt to do with ambition/loans/permanent deals etc.
As for the Remy deal, can you imagine how much stick Ashley and co would get from the fans if we had spunked £8million and then he was charged and found guilty of rape. Behave man.
As I said, there is plenty to knock the regime for without making things up to add to it.
It's to early for floppy chops to be getting excited about his form, its only November….if he his still performing like this come March then I guarantee floppy chops will be touting him (if he wants to sell him) playing in front of 19k or 50k+, says a lot about the man who chooses 19k to apparently play in his favoured position but then joins the 50k club to go against what he believed in January…..MONEY TALKS!!
The surest sign we haven't got a deal in place is the fact that everyone involved has said that there is nothing agreed. Harry has said he doesn't know where he will end up, but that he doesn't want any of the loan players back (typical drivel from 'Arry). Kinnear has said he will return to QPR at the end of the year, and Remy has said he will make no decision about his future until next summer.
I'm just stating that your argument is flawed on Remys reasons for joining them against us, we agree to disagree on this particular area, although I agree that a loan was the only option given the off field antics!! As for Zigic it was a tongue in cheek reference and wasn't meant to be taken literally!! You are the only who did though, Carr has less of a say as he did a year ago and Pards has more of a say than he did a year ago!! We saw the type of players Pards wanted hence the daft comment about Zigic!!
our toon
money does talk but he said he gets the same wage
working for an attacking manager over a defensive one when a forward also talks…..QPR were spouting off about ambition and a new stadium last year so could easily have been convinced by that.
They were poor last year but made ambitious signings with the managers and remy/samba…they were wanting to kick on.
Definitely be back next year and will spend big, have the richest owner in the country.
Our Toon,
I haven't given any reasons for Remy choosing them over us?? What are you talking about?
On Carr, he has pulled out some duds as well. High chance Douglas would have been another, was never convinced when watching him and the calibre of striker that score lots of goals in Holland is generally very low. This suggests he probably isn't that great. Not to mention he ended up at an average Russian backwater.
I'd prefer that if we are keeping Pards, which looks likely we back him with the players he wants. Why keep giving a limited manager technically excellent players when he doesn't know how to set up that way. Like giving a 6 month old an XBox for christmas. It may be a great present but the little tyke has no clue how to use it.
i don't see why you think it's wages when not what the player said…surely he would know.
and other facts back up his argument, played up front with zamora who comes deeper for flick ons with remy pushing on ahead to get in behind, the lad also had a get out so at worst would be stuck there for 6 months
hardly like we he rejected a champs league club to go there, he rejected a side who finished 16th.
I agree they have plans to grow as a club, when he joined they were favourites to go down though, I just hate it when ppl try to sugar coat things because he joined us on loan!! QPR have fantastic plans and I somehow dobut Remy will be there when this so called new stadium is built (can take a couple of years) I bet the bonuses at QPR were higher than what we were willing to pay, maybe even a sweet signing on fee
I said all summer Lukaku was the one player I would have broken the bank for. Exactly the sort of striker that Pards would be able to work with, but also an excellent footballer who could link well with other technical players.
As for the big centre half, I'm less worried about them being technically excellent, as long s they know their limitations and can play the ball simply 5-10 yards. Reminds me of something Keegan said first time round. Darren Peacock was getting stick for not being good enough, but Keegan came out and said that without him the team wouldn't function as well because he was the only one who knew his job was to defend – kind of similar to Willo at the moment.
To move some of these fringe /bench players out such as obertan, gosling etc we need someone willing to take them off our hands – something we had no luck with in the summer with Gosling
a deal us already in place with QPR for Remy for 8million, however the player himself wants champions league footbalk , high wages etc so may not happen
I don't think QPR are certs for promotion – think they'll have to do it through the playoffs
Carr has had some excellent signings but also Pardew has had some say in who got signed Ba , Obertan and Sissoko were players that Pardew has said he wanted to bring too the club could imagine him wanting Debuchy as well Obertan being the only real dud but he has potential so I can see why we signed him cause if someone can get him playing properly you could have a player on your hands!
Carr has made some excellent signings at small fees and thats the key I think if Ashley made proper funds available then between Carr and Pardew I reckon we would have a beasting team with technical players could imagine us having players like Shawcross, Wanyama, PEA and Valbuena if we would spend the going rate !
Because we shop in the bargain basement aisle its going to be difficult to sign a good player every time it seems to be the youngsters that have potential that we dont seem to get right ?Some of them could still come good like Curtis Good and Satko
Yeh, I agree on the CB…if he is technical as well then it's a bonus, but strength and aerial power is important.
Lukaku would never have joined us permanently i don't think, think the lad has much higher ambitions, but a loan may have been a possiblilty…unless chelsea said everton or nobody which was a rumour why west brom couldn't get him back.
I know there isn't limitless amounts of players but surely we scout enough to go find them, villa found beneteke, chelsea got drogba then lukaku…these players are out there.
How do you know there is no deal in place? I think it was Mark Douglas who claimed that there was one. Kinnear has said there isn't. While not the most reliable of sources there would be absolutely no reason to say there wasn't if there was in fact a deal in place.
We didn't keep it quiet when we had that arrangement for HBA. So why would we now??

PHOENIX bosses and the fans who helped save Manchester ice hockey went home with massive smiles on their faces after Sunday night's opening victory over London Racers.
Managing director Neil Morris had a decent night's sleep for the first time in weeks after a crowd of 3,600 turned up for the first game in the Manchester Evening News Arena since the Storm went bust almost a year ago.
And the supporters were buzzing after a match-winning performance from hat-trick ace Miroslav Skovira had them wondering: Is this the new Stefan Ketola?
Phoenix have a break-even figure of 3,000 and Morris was relieved to have passed that mark and now wants to build it up.
No miracle cure
"I'd have loved it to have been 10,000 . . . five thousand would have been brilliant . . . but I'm more than happy with the 3,600 who turned out," said Morris.
"You have to be realistic about this and put things into perspective. There were other things going on in Manchester that day and London brought no supporters.
"I can't pay tribute enough to the fans for sticking with us. Now we have kept them together, we can build on this and I'm sure we can get four or five thousand on a regular basis. Anyone who said ice hockey was dead in Manchester was wrong.
"But there is no miracle cure and we need to find ways of getting old friends back and finding new fans. There were new people there in Sunday and they loved it."
Phoenix were short-handed and suffering the effects of a tough game in Cardiff the night before but they went through the pain barrier and somehow managed to carve out a victory.
The fans went home impressed by netminder Jayme Page, who recorded a shut-out on his home debut, and super Slovakian Skovira who had all the traits of former Storm favourite Ketola.
"It is not important who scores the goals," said Skovira. "The important thing is we win. If we do that I am happy.
"I am happy here. It's a nice place, a very nice town but the only thing I knew about Manchester was its football teams. Nothing more. I am a football fan.
"It was a good crowd and if we play well more will come to watch."

FRESNO, Calif. --Strawberry growers in Florida are getting some stiff competition, but not from their typical rivals.
California is the number one strawberry producer, followed by Florida. But now, growers in the sunshine state say they now have to worry about competition from Mexico.
According to new numbers, Mexico's strawberry crops are growing at such a high pace that it could soon catch up with Florida's production.

My heart surges with bold curiosity (and urgency) as I contemplate the adventure ahead. This alleged "dream curse" was haunting Julia to a point where no procedure could take place. At that very moment, Mrs. Johnson appeared as if summoned and heard it told. I respect the powers of the witch, but my priorities are thus:
a) Have my essence transferred into this rotting hulk before it dies completely.
b) Thwart Angelique.
They simply cannot happen in the reverse order. Wise to follow my advise, Julia was doubly blessed after telling the dream because she felt completely relieved and ready to complete Doctor Lang's work.
In the midst, Miss Winters visited me, and I assured her that Adam Collins would find her just as appealing as I. It was genuinely stirring when she fretted over her role in casting me "back to England." Warmth, conscience, and especially apologies are in too short supply in this age of emotional semaphore. It is easy to see why I thought Josette's soul resided within her eyes.
Behold, Adam Collins! Our time is upon us.

so you've maybe seen this little mid-century bench in my living room? it's cute, I got it at the flea market years ago...
I made the teal cushion and all the bargello pillows, but I'm taking the whole apartment in a more calm, neutral, ethnic/rustic/modern direction lately. so the crazy riot of color and retro pattern that was happening on the bench wasn't working anymore.
so, I decided to make some new cushions, and I went with a simple hand-tied futon type mat made from old linen. I worked on it for a couple hours on saturday. I was kinda digging it, but then I realized it was not deep enough for the seat. I was willing to overlook that mistake...
until I realized it was also several inches too short.
wtf?!? I am a good seamstress, people. I don't make these kind of rookie mistakes. I certainly don't make two of them! I seriously don't know what happened here. I got so mad about it, I decided I don't even WANT the bench anymore. that'll teach it, for being all confusing in its dimensions!
it's ok, nobody sits on it anyway, it's just there as a showcase for pillows. so I'll be putting it on craigslist soon, I think. if you're in the SoCal area and in the market for a cute mid-century bench (with a teal cushion that fits it perfectly), send me a message!
after the cushion debacle, I decided to make a pillow, which I know I can do properly. I had some scraps of linen that I had tie-dyed blue at French General's last Woad Dyeing Workshop, so I did a sort of random log cabin kinda thing with it, just to see what happened.
I actually really like it! it looks like clouds, don't you think? I was so into this one, I started a second even cooler pillow in the same vein. I'll share that one with you in a couple days.
I'm serious about selling the bench, let me know if you want it. I'll even send you the dimensions...but don't be surprised if it's a little bigger than you expected!

We were off for our annual stay at my Mums, and we were going to make the most of our stay there!
We caught the train to Fareham, a nice easy train journey, and Mum met us at the station to take us to her new flat. After a drop of lunch and a viewing round the new place, we thought we'd pop out for a quick game of bowling. I started well and the game was mine for the taking, but I got pipped to the post by hubby, beaten by 1 point!
Wednesday we took a day trip to Arundel, a wonderfully quaint old fashioned town. There was the annual corpus christi flower festival. the whole church aisle was covered in flower petals depicting the chosen themes of the olympics and titanic.
we had lunch at one of the many lovely little cafes. it was a pleasure to stroll around the idylic town, with its little independant shops. such a nice change from a bog standard town, and the weather held out for us too.
On thursday the weather was dire, so we took a trip to Southsea. Our first stop off was at the National history museum, to got to the butterfly house. This too successful as apparantly they like it warmer too, to get the muscles going in their wings. So we only spotted a couple flying around, and saw a newly hatched one, but otherwise they were closed up trying to keep warm!
We braved the wet to get to 'The hole in one' a very popular little cafe, but everybody else had the same idea too as it was packed. We were able to get a table outside (+ undercover), and were offered blankets and hot-water bottles to keep us cosy (a novel but fantastic idea!) well worth it too as their selection of cakes are devine!
We went on to the Blue Reef aquarium, and as it was a trusty place to visit in he wet weather, that was packed too! We managed to arrive just in time to see the otters being fed, and then worked our way round checking out the various aquatic creatures.
By the time we left the had stopped, but it was blowing a gale instead. We managed a stroll by the sea -front, the wind being so powerful it was blowing the waves up and over the pavement, which many kids found amusing, and got a soaking!
Friday we planned a trip to Chichester. Their infamous flower festival, which is on every other year. This was so worth queuing up to get into. It is literally breath-taking when you see the abundance of flower displays which fill every area of the Cathedral! This years theme was 'Classic books' and they covered over 50 different classic titles. The most impressive display to me was 'the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe'. It was a massive display + depicted each imortant aspect of the story.
After seeing half of the displays we popped out to stop for coffee and food. We then checked out the craft tents, which were just about staying upright in the winds! However when we tried to enter the Cathedral again, weren't able to. We had forgotten there was to be a Royal visit, so for security reasons they were't letting anymore people in. We tried each entrance in vain, and in the end Mum + hubby kicked up a fuss to a couple of officials, as we couldn't hang around for an hour to be let in again, we had paid + only seen half of it so were really disappointed. Their persistance worked though, and the guy managed to get us back in. So not only did we get to see the rest of the displays, we didn't have to endure any of the crowds and we caught a glimpse of Prince Edward + Sophie.
Before going back, we made a de-tour to make a quick visit to my great-aunt.
Saturday we stayed local, and had a walk around Fareham town. After popping back for some lunch we went to Dunelm mills to have a look at all the homeware goods. Then it was another bracing sea front walk in Lee-on-Solent.
Sunday it was back on the train home again. Back to reality, and back to work! But it was all good fun while it lasted....


text: So I'm still getting settled in to my new place but there is still lots of odds and ends that need to be picked up. So I've found myself going from mall to mall all around in my new surroundings. Seems there are a lot of soap shops and knife stores everywhere. I think I'm good for soap, but I'm not sure if this place has enough variety of knives in it.

1,000 Free Photo Scans Through November 30th, 2008
Many businesses are turning to word-of-mouth marketing to invite personal Web page posting to review, share their experiences and influence what the next new-thing will be. According to ScanMyPhotos.com, Facebook, along with Blogger, Flickr and MySpace are the new way to cultivate buzz and excitement.
Social networking sites are the new, smart forum for reaching consumers. When you have a service that demands great word-of-mouth, forums like Facebook cannot be beat for reaching people with passion. "When they love or hate your service they tell the world; it's critical to always earn everyone's adoration and loyalty," said Mitch Goldstone, president & CEO of ScanMyPhotos.com.
1,000 Free Photo Scans by ScanMyPhotos.com Extended Through November 30th for Members of Facebook, Flickr, MySpace and Blogger
The photo scanning and digital imaging company recently announced it would scan up to 1,000 pictures without charge (pay just $19.95 for return S&H) for members of these leading social networking sites. The nationwide feedback and buzz has justified this extension for 1,000 free photo scans for these social networking members through September 30th.

Fitness trackers are able to understand your movements and the type of exercise you're doing using a small sensor called an accelerometer. This device is able to determine which direction you're moving, and how quickly you're doing so, in turn translating that data into steps and other activities.
How you use a fitness tracker is totally down to you as an individual. You may want it to track how many steps you've taken, how well you've slept, or how fast your heart's beating. There are many other applications available with various different models.
The battery life of fitness trackers varies massively depending on the model and how you use it. Some fitness trackers are powered by watch-type batteries, meaning they never need recharging - whereas others may need charging every night.
Most fitness trackers can be used without a smartphone, and will sync wirelessly when they're nearby. Others need to be tethered to a smartphone via Bluetooth to translate all of the information they collect.
Some fitness trackers sync over the air, with Bluetooth, NFC or Wi-Fi. Others may need to physically be plugged into your smartphone or tablet.

Here are a few of my favorite sentences from this last crop of comparison essays:
"Comparing Cezanne's and Hartley's still life paintings is like comparing apples and oranges. Although they are both fruit, they have infinite similarities and differences."
"Also an oil painting, "Modern Bohemia"'s size (65 1/8 x 49 1/4in) plays a part in being able to create awareness of the paintings features such as vibrant colors and a distinct separation of foreground, middle, and background. The similarities of social context and overall content outweight the initial viewed differences of the two pieces."
"Truth and ugly portray realism in the painting."
"The malformation of color creates feeling for the piece. In Manet's "Olympia" despite the presence of the servant, it is as though the servant does not exist in the painting."
"A space can be defined by using sculpture to depict what a person will encounter upon traveling through an entranceway."
"It seems only fitting that such an image be placed in front of the home belonging to a group that learn the trade of producing substances which are purely the result of what material those substances are composed of."
"In my comparison of The Large Blue Horses (Minneapolis Institute of Arts) by Franz Marc and Michelangelo Merisi Da Caravaggio's Conversion of Saint Paul (fig. 24-18), both paintings have been their own religious meaning while being painted on the same medium; however, they contrast with different stories and linear style."

Also this term i am taking an Adobe Dreamweaver course with the university because coding is a long term interest of mine, the first session of that was this week, and was most interesting indeed, advancing my current knowledge significantly. Since i already work for several websites and have designed them in close contact with the coder, i have a good base knowledge of these things already, and as such this dreamweaver course is to build on that and make coding a viable hobby for me.
That's all i can think of for this week... uhm... i'll upate with how things go for next week.

Divine Teaching Regarding the Veneration of Heaven and of the Divine Eye
February 25, 1926
Disciple Trung, come into the middle of the room and prostrate before me.
Well done. However, you must remember to pray "NAM MO CAO DAI TIEN ONG DAI BO TAT MA HA TAT" each time you nod.
A major ceremony has three offerings: incense and flowers, wine, and tea.
You offer all of these yourself.
As you prostrate, put your hands together with your left thumb pointing at the Ty position [position of the Year of the Mouse] at the base of the ring finger, and with your left hand resting on the upturned right hand underneath.
Henceforth, you are required to wear a special blue costume with large sleeves, askew collar and nine belts. You must also wear cloth shoes. Others wear no shoes.
Why prostrate?
To show your respect.
Why place your hands together in such a manner?
The left hand represents Yang, the sun; the right hand represents Yin, the moon. The combination of Yin and Yang is the Dao, the principle for the creation and evolution of the universe.
Why prostrate twice before a living person?
Two represents the Yin and Yang combined, or the Dao.
Why prostrate four times before a dead person?
Two prostrations are for the person, one is for heaven and one is for the earth.
Why prostrate three times before Saints and Genies?
Because they are the third rank of the celestial classes. This pattern also indicates the unification of Tinh (physical matter), Khi (emotions), and Than (spirit), which is the Dao itself.
Why prostrate nine times before Buddhas and Immortals?
Because they are the creators of the nine heavens.
Why, then, must you prostrate 12 times before Me?
You could not understand. Because I am the Emperor of the universe and have twelve Zodiacs in My hands. Number 12 is thus My own number.
It is not time to understand the full meaning of the Divine Eye, but I will briefly explain this to you.
The Eye is the principle of the heart:
Two sources of light (Yin and yang) are the Master;
Light is the spirit;
The spirit is God;
God is Myself.
Since the Dao was established, there has been a lack of the spirit in the miraculous mechanism of enlightenment. With this third salvation, I will allow the Than (spirit) to be unified with the Tinh (physical matter) and the Khi (emotions), leading to a unification of the three elements, which is itself the miraculous mechanism of the enlightenment.
Remember to explain this to disciples.
The positions of Genies, Saints, Immortals, and Buddhas have been unchanged since the Dao was established: so has the technique of spiritual self-improvement, but the Than was not allowed to be unified with Tinh and Khi, so that there was no more enlightenment. I come today to authorize this unification so that you may reach enlightenment.
You now understand that the Than (spirit) is located at the Eye. Explain this to the disciples. The Eye, or the Than (spirit), is the origin of Immortals and Buddhas.
Remember My name when you preach.
