Principal parts of the lathe
Types of lathes
The engine lathe is the type most widely used. It has back gears to provide the low speed and high torque required to make heavy cuts on a large workpiece. An engine lathe is built with change gears and a lead screw for cutting threads. It also has powered feed in both longitudinal and cross directions.
A turret lathe is equipped with a toolholder called a turret. Cutting tools are mounted in bars that…

Money and BanksMoney and Banking
The abolition of cash threatens to cause widespread economic damage and have a devastating impact on many of the most vulnerable in our society.
Taxes and SpendingMoney and Banking
We are told that if further signs of recession develop the government must spend more to keep the boom whipped up. This is false.
The monetary policy that governments and central banks are calling for is quite apparent: "Keep it going, whatever it takes."
Pursuing a trade war with your largest creditor, whose also on the edge of insolvency, is a recipe for financial meltdown.
U.S. HistoryMoney and Banking
Rothbard saw at an early stage of his life as a graduate student that the Jacksonian period was a defining one in American history.
An overheating economy emerges once expenditure rises without being backed up by production, a situation that emerges when the money stock is increasing.
Government, tech, and banks all have a common interest in moving consumers and taxpayers toward the abolition of physical cash.
Recessions grow out of government and central-bank interventions that direct resources away from true wealth generating activities — and toward bubble activities.

Case expenses must be reasonable
Rule 1.5 of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct mandates that the fees collected by a lawyer must be "reasonable." The reasoning for this seems obvious. However, Rule 1.5 also mandates that case expenses must be reasonable.
a. A lawyer shall not make an agreement for, charge, or collect an unreasonable fee or an unreasonable amount for expenses. (emphasis added)
What does this mean for clients?
Your lawyer should clear big expenses in advance
Often—though not always—representation contracts allow for the lawyer to advance expenses in contingency cases. In the personal injury context, most plaintiffs can't afford to pay expenses. This is one of the justifications of the contingency fee system, in fact. It's also in Rule 1.5, see (a)(8). But those case expenses must still be reasonable, under the rules.
It's probably reasonable for your lawyer to charge you for copies or mileage so long as those expenses are related the case, and also reasonable. But is it reasonable for a lawyer to, say, take a helicopter flight to a deposition? (One would wonder why they couldn't just drive.) You might only find out about the expense after a recovery, at the time of distribution of funds. As a general rule, it is a good idea if you ask your lawyer to clear any large case expenses with you in advance, and also have that requirement clearly outlined in the fee agreement. It could vary, but a general rule of thumb might be anything over $500, or $1,000. Keep in mind, some case expenses, like expert witnesses, could grow very large over time. In the same token, you do not want to unnecessarily restrict your lawyer from making out the case best case possible for you, so you should keep in mind that you hired the lawyer to be an advocate and represent to the best of his ability. The requirement to clear large expenses up front is really meant to create a healthy discussion between the client and the lawyer as to what expenses are necessary and whether there are any alternatives of a particular expense.
As a lawyer, be careful while incurring expenses
As a lawyer, you owe fiduciary duties to your client. As a fiduciary, you ought not to waste your client's money. That's what it means to place your client's interests above your own, and everyone else's. So, be careful about incurring significant expenses with only marginal value. What is "reasonable" will obviously depend on the size and complexity of the case. Medical malpractice cases—and all malpractice cases, generally speaking—are expensive because expert witnesses are expensive and the complexity of the issues in the case. And that's fine. But you should be careful about flying first class—or using private planes—to out of town depositions, and the like. Incurring large, "cadillac" style expenses without getting client approval first will only invite them to complain about the charges later. Usually complaints about excessive expenses accompanies a complaint about the level of service and the outcome of the case making the possibility of a Bar complaint or malpractice claim more likely.
In the end, make sure that expectations and terms about the incurring of and payment of expenses are realistic and clear. Similarly, make sure the language of your fee contracts and retainer letters is crystal clear, and make sure the agreement is reviewed and questions answered. Documenting the engagement agreement review and question answering process is also a best practice.

Professor Sir John Cunningham
John Cunningham is a clinician-scientist holding positions as Professor of Nephrology at University College London Medical School and The Royal Free Hospital and an Honorary Fellowship at Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge, both in the UK. His early training was in Cambridge (pre-clinical) and Oxford, UK (clinical), with postgraduate training at The University of London and Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, USA under Drs Louis V Avioli and Eduardo Slatopolsky. He has remained an active frontline clinician in both nephrology and internal medicine. John Cunningham was Physician to HM The Queen and was knighted for services to The Royal Family in June 2014.
Academically Professor Cunningham has contributed to the understanding of the effect of acidosis on the bioactivation of vitamin D and described and characterised hysteresis in the parathyroid response to calcium, indicating that parathyroid cells can sense both the direction of change and the absolute concentration of ECF calcium. He subsequently ran research programmes examining the following: control by structurally modified vitamin D metabolites at PTH synthesis and release; the synthesis and release of bone cytokines by osteoblast like cells and the regulation of these by vitamin D metabolites; the location and relevance of the calcium sensing receptor in bone cells; the influence of simulated uraemia on the release of cytokines by bone cells; the factors mediating bone loss following renal transplantation and preventative strategies; the factors that control parathyroid function in vivo, including new vitamin D metabolites and calcimimetic agents. Professor Cunningham's group has found that new structurally modified metabolites of vitamin D differ markedly in the way they influence the behaviour of both parathyroid cells and bone cells. His group also devised, conducted and published studies of the first effective prophylaxis against bone loss in the post transplant setting. On these and other subjects, Professor Cunningham frequently lectures nationally and internationally, as well as serving on numerous international expert panels and working groups. He is a founding Co-chairman of the Nephrology At The Limits series held under the auspices of University College London, The University of Cape Town, and The Lancet.

Donald Trump released his latest Instagram video Monday, slamming what the Republican presidential hopeful claims is an unserious strategy by President Obama to defeat the Islamic State jihadist group.
The web-ad mashes footage of Obama laughing at his reflection and goofing off, from a video by Buzzfeed in February, with news coverage of Islamic State militants issuing threats against Europe and the U.S.
"They're a bunch of killers with good social media," Obama is heard saying in a soundbite accompanying photographs of a downed Russian passenger jet for which the terrorist group recently took credit.
"It is time for serious leadership," the screen reads before cutting to Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

Banks show 'disregard' for the law, Government MPs may cross the floor to back inquiry
Pressure for a commission of inquiry into the banking sector is growing, with Nationals senator Barry O'Sullivan warning he might have the numbers to push his private members bill through Parliament.
Key points:
- Banks show a "disregard" for the law, Nationals senator Barry O'Sullivan says
- In contrast, the Government has been long resisted calls for a royal commission into the banking sector
- Senator O'Sullivan said up to four of his colleagues are willing to cross the floor to bring on this debate
The banks "show an an almost autistic disregard for prudential regulation and law and it's time for these people to have their day in court", the senator told ABC's RN Breakfast on Monday.
Senator O'Sullivan said he has support from as many as four colleagues.
These include maverick Liberal National (LNP) MP George Christensen, who has already threatened to cross the floor, and fellow Queensland LNP MP Llew O'Brien, who has indicated "50-50" support.
An embarrassment for the Government
While a commission of inquiry would be an embarrassment for the Turnbull Government given its resistance to a royal commission, Senator O'Sullivan said it was time for the Prime Minister to listen.
"There's no more important piece of business — millions and millions of Australians have been affected by the behaviour of the banks over time," he said.
"The people of Australia are sick to their eye teeth of the Parliament not functioning.
"If both houses of Parliament think this is a good thing to do … then I think the Prime Minister has to … sit up and take note of that, and support the parliamentary decision."
But Senator O'Sullivan refused to comment on whether his move would embarrass and further destabilise the Prime Minister.
"I am not going to be drawn on the question of the impacts on the Prime Minister and the Government — this is about democracy at work."
O'Sullivan 'committed to this course'
The proposed commission of inquiry would have similar powers to a royal commission.
It would also look beyond banking and include superannuation, insurance and services associated with the scandal-plagued sector.
While a royal commission needs to be established by the executive, a commission of inquiry can be passed if both houses of parliament agree.
However, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has today emailed crossbenchers to inform them that the Lower House will resume sitting on December 4.
Profit at what cost?
The latest allegations against the Commonwealth Bank highlight a deeply disturbing failure, Ian Verrender writes.
This timing coincides with the New England by-election, scheduled for December 2, which is expected to return former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce to office.
After that, it would take three MPs to cross the floor to bring on debate for a commission of inquiry in the Lower House, raising the potential vote of no confidence in the Government.
"A commission of inquiry can be decided by the parliament and I expect it will be binding on the executive of government. And I think the parliament is an appropriate place for a commission of inquiry to report back to," Senator O'Sullivan said.
"We are after all the legislators, and we are the ones who'll have to bring out legislation and regulation, prudential and otherwise.
"So I think [members of Parliament] … are the appropriate people to receive the report."
Senator O'Sullivan maintained that his private members bill has a good chance of being approved.
"A bill produced by the Greens made its way through the Senate without any difficulty, and my ambition is to ensure all that they want in an inquiry is homogenised into the bill that I'm developing," he said.
"I'm committed to this course now, and I have been for some period of time.
"There hasn't been a pathway before, so there are a number of us who are very keen on this issue and I think it's timely."
Senator O'Sullivan said an updated exposure draft of the bill could emerge on Wednesday or Thursday to deal with protections for small business and the rural sector in the terms of reference.
'No evidence' to justify a commission of inquiry
Australian Bankers Association chief executive Anna Bligh argued Senator O'Sullivan has not provided any evidence to justify a commission of inquiry or the estimated $53 million cost of a royal commission.
"As yet no one has seen legislation from Senator O'Sullivan and nobody knows what terms of reference he might be proposing, so it's impossible to comment," Ms Bligh said.
Ms Bligh accused Senator O'Sullivan and his supporters of "seeking revenge" because "they didn't get their way in the same-sex marriage debate".
"That's an extraordinary way to make public policy.
"Taking the first opportunity to go in and do something that would critically destabilise the Government I think will be seen for what it is."
Ms Bligh said the major banks would cooperate with any inquiry, but said customers had already been compensated for major scandals such as CommInsure.
Last week, former ANZ Bank chief executive Mike Smith said banks were being used by the Government as political capital saying "when you want to get mob interest you turn on the banks — Hitler did it."
Ms Bligh described Mr Smith's comments as "colourful" but agreed "there has been a level of demonisation in relation to banks that is unnecessary and unhelpful".

Since generics were introduced, Class is parametrized, so that List.class produces Class<List>. This is clear.
What I am not able to figure out is how to get a instance of Class of type which is parametrized itself, i.e. Class<List<String>>. Like in this snippet:
public class GenTest {
static <T> T instantiate(Class<T> clazz) throws Exception {
return clazz.newInstance();
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// Is there a way to avoid waring on the line below
// without using @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")?
// ArrayList.class is Class<ArrayList>, but I would like to
// pass in Class<ArrayList<String>>
ArrayList<String> l = GenTest.instantiate(ArrayList.class);
I run into variations of this problem quite often and I still don't know, if I just miss something, or if there is really no better way. Thanks for suggestions.

Hello and sorry for taking so long to post something.
I have been working very hard on many things, BHC3 for one, then I started work on a Halloween comic but missed the holiday, the same thing happened with a Christmas comic I started. So those will be delayed until next year.
I have also been working on and just finished a new comic called The Corridor 2, with the sunburned girl introduced in The Corridor in Summer Stories. This time she finds herself in a second corridor with five doors, behind each is a different surprise.
Here is the main promo page for The Corridor 2.
You can buy a copy at renderotica here:
With that now released I will be focused on finishing BHC3, I will have more to post soon.

Things I learned this weekend that taught me I'm not fully recovered, but I'm getting there/I'm on Seventeen.com!!
Weekends are generally a struggle for me. From Monday to Friday I have routine. I wake up, I eat, I work, I go to the gym, I work more, I teach POP Pilates, I come home. That's my general routine. My meals are generally the same, I'm working out consistently. It's routine. I'm safe and I'm happy.
Then the weekend roles around and things change. I have this flexibility and freedom. I get invited to go out for dinner. I spend time with people I love. All good things, but I'm not in my safe routine. This past weekend was a challenge, and it was for some reason, a more challenging weekend that I've had in a while. I struggled. I think I struggle more when I'm stressed about other things in my life, hence why my ED developed in the first place. But life is all about ups and downs and you just need to live through it, accept it, deal and move on.
Here's what happened and what I learned.
1. Trying on clothes brings back all the ED feels.
Shopping for clothes can generally be a not-so-fun experience for a lot of women, not just those overcoming an eating disorder. Let's talk about the lighting in the change rooms - not always the most flattering. Hello cellulite. Hello bloaty stomach. Hello every flaw I could pick out. Now let's talk about pants and shorts - the most horrible thing to try on. It fits here, but it's too small here. I need like size 3.75. I'm not a 2 or a 4 - I'm somewhere in the middle. Am I too skinny? Should I be a bigger size? I thought I had more muscle? Ugh. Why don't they make clothes that fit me properly? By body must not be "right." Things aren't flattering, things aren't fitting right. So, what's my thought? "Let's suppress my hunger the rest of the day. Yes, that will fix things." Yes, I had that thought. Did I let it rule me? No. But the thought was there. The thoughts still fucking linger. I'm so over these stupid thoughts.
2. Eating at restaurants is still terrifying.
Ever had East Side Marios? During high school I used to eat there all the time! Hello endless salad, bread and pasta. Carbs on carbs on carbs. This weekend my date wanted to go to East Sides for our "cheat meal." Well, actually it was my idea. But this was the same day I had the stupid shopping for clothes experience. My body-image was negative. I felt fat. I was tired. I couldn't recognize my hunger cues. But I went. I went, and I ate. I didn't overeat, I didn't under-eat. I just ate. It was fucking scary. If you're a "normal" person reading this, you must think how absurd it is for eating food to be "fucking scary", but it is and it sucks. But I did it. I challenged fear foods. Then I woke up the next day. Felt the same. I was happy. I was okay. The little moments of fear make me stronger.
3. My ED still hinders my relationships (but he understands).
When you're having a bad day and ED thoughts are all over the place, you are generally more stressed, anxious, irritable. Basically, I'm a bitch. Yep, I said it. I'm mad at myself, I'm mad at the world. I don't feel good so that makes spending time with people not-so-fun. And that obviously takes a damper on your relationships. I mean, who wants to date a girl that's insecure and afraid of food? I'm prone to take out my own problems on that person and create fights that are unnecessary and it's because of me. My own fault.
So, how do you deal with it? I don't know. I don't have the answers. I just have my thought processes. Being an introvert, I need time to process things. Think about how I'm feeling and what I can do to make this better for myself and the people I care about.
In terms of the eating out for dinner thing - I told him, "this is giving me anxiety." Now, he knows. He's aware that this experience is difficult for me. Probably doesn't understand it. And that's okay. But I had to be honest. Now, he'll understand that my mood is affected because I'm feeling this way. He didn't force me to eat food. He offered me food. I took what I wanted, and I said no when I didn't want it.
This post is titled "Things I learned this weekend that taught me I'm not fully recovered but I'm getting there." How do I know "I'm getting there". Because I'm recognizing it. I'm aware of these thoughts and triggers. I'm acknowledging them. And what makes me know that I'm improving, is that I'm not letting them take over me. I'm fighting them. I'm fighting for freedom and balance.
What do you do when you're having triggering thoughts or bad days? Is there someone you go to for help? Do you write in a journal? How do you deal with the thoughts. I'm eager to know your coping mechanisms!
If you're looking for balance in workouts, I suggest PIIT28 and if you're looking for balance with food, I suggest The 28 Day Reset Program.
When #Fitspos Hurts More Than Helps
Guys, after 8 months - yes EIGHT months of working on this piece for seventeen.com, it is FINALLY published. Michelle found me in September through the Blogilates community. She wanted to learn more about my ED story and it's connection with #Fitspos because she was writing a piece for Seventeen. I was happy to share with her my journey and excited that this could potentially reach more of an audience than my Instagram followers. It is my duty in life to help people going through EDs, unhealthy relationships with food and/or exercise. I KNOW that I went through this for a reason, and it's to help. We all have struggles, but they turn into strengths. I hope you read the article and take something from it. Share it with your friends and family who may benefit.
THANK YOU! And a HUGE thank you to Michelle who is the most patient person in the world! Check out more of Michelle's work HERE.

Just been noticing how far apart your boobs hang in every bathing suit snap and pic. I used to be chubby and then I got really really skinny and the same thing happened to me...! Is this something thats common with weight loss/eating disorders? Not the best side effect I'm not sure how to fix it besides gaining 60 pounds back.

What a weird thing to pick out. My boobs got smaller. I don't care about the size of my boobs - I care about my sanity and my happiness, and I'm happy. I hope you come to terms with your boobs :)
5/28/2016 07:04:37 am
This speaks to me on so many different levels!! Food is so frustrating sometimes, I was feeling all of this last night, but I woke up today feeling happy!
5/28/2016 12:16:01 pm
I've never suffered from an ED, but I totally agree with you about dressing rooms. They're so awfully stressful. After I started lifting, I had problems with my pants fitting. I think I'm also a 3.75 in pants now, so I feel your struggle.
5/30/2016 08:33:19 am
I swear I feel like we're the same person sometimes...as recovered as I feel those damn thoughts DO linger. I had a horrible body image week due to nothing other than the fact that I couldn't work out consistently for 2 weeks in a row due to being on vacation then getting sick. It drove me insane, I felt huge, got on the scale and tried not to cry, affected my relationship..EVERYTHING. I know how you feel. It passes <3
5/31/2016 09:08:46 pm
Steph, I love that you are recognizing your thoughts and triggers. You are 100% right when you say that is the step in the right direction to recovery. I needed that reminder. 😊 When I notice these thoughts and triggers I write them down in my journal. It seems to help relieve the stress.
6/20/2016 03:10:18 pm
I'm a firm believer in the power of self awareness. I check in with myself often and sometimes even have lil me:me conversations! It's so useful in recovery and in overcoming any major challenge gradually

Instead of doing a lot of things today, I finally completed the project I began on my loom before winter break. Enter a thousand technical difficulties (ok, only one, the strings holding up my harnesses snapping) and lost of frustration, but that's all part of being a weaver, right? Also, inventiveness:
Here is an in-progress shot. Note the lack of bobbin and presence of knitting needle. The loops are intentional; it's part of an investigation I'm doing on fighting control in a controlled process.
I have photographed this in sections because it's so long and narrow and I haven't quite figured out how to take a full shot that gives it justice.

UK PM criticised for holding a snap election during Ramadan
Some British Muslims aren't happy that UK voters are being asked to go to the polls for a general election in the middle Ramadan, according to Rushanara Ali, above, Labour MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in London.
Prime Minister Theresa May has been accused of not taking Muslim voters into account by calling for an election on June 8. Ramandan takes place between May 26 and June 24.
Ali said:
The fact that the general election will fall in the middle of Ramadan is not ideal. Holding an election during Ramadan means there could be a disproportionate effect on voter turnout in those constituencies with a sizeable Muslim population.
If anyone thinks that their ability to go and vote will be affected, I urge them to register for a postal vote.
Labour's Yasmin Qureshi, MP for Bolton South East, above, added:
It is unfortunate that Theresa May has scheduled the election to take place during the holy month of Ramadan. I know this will present challenges to Muslim voters and those who wish to campaign. At best I can only suggest that this did not even feature in her thinking, which is disappointing.
She added:
It may be that the election falling during Ramadan reduces turnout among Muslims.
SNP MSP Humza Yousaf, the Scottish Government Minister for Transport and the Islands, also voiced fears that fewer Muslims will vote, adding that:
You can never really hold an election at a perfect time. I think it would be fair to say that a lot of people in the Muslim community feel that they were certainly not even factored at all into the conversation or the thinking because it will have an impact, I suspect, on turnout.
However, the Muslim Council of Britain said it could see "no reason" why holding the election during Ramadan should have any impact on Muslims turning up to vote. The group added:
There is probably more 'voter fatigue' generally across the country following the extensive recent campaigns in the lead-up to the 2015 general election and the 2016 EU Referendum.
Muslims fasting during Ramadan will go about their normal daily activities and taking time out to cast a vote will have no impact on their choice to do so.
Sayed Yousif Al-Khoei OBE, chairman of the Al-Khoei Foundation, a Shi'a Muslim organisation, said:
In general, Ramadan and fasting is not supposed to impede normal life. It's supposed to be a spiritual experience. But for some people, you know, the combination of the hot weather … and lack of foods could be an impediment.
But the spiritual uplifting of fasting should really make a Muslim more resilient and that should not really be a pretext for not voting, and I encourage everyone to use their right to vote.
Of course some Muslims believe that it matters not a jot when elections are held, because taking part in the democratic process goes against the wishes of Allah.
A poll in 2010 run by Muslims against Voting shows that more than 53 percent of British Muslims said that they would not vote because:
I want to remain Muslim, and Allah is the only Legislator.
More than 44 percent said they would vote because:
My way of life is democracy, and I want to take Allahs (sic) name and give it to man, making me a Kaafir.

Ramadan is a whole month. Muslims where I work manage to turn up for work every day. So how much of an issue is it really? Postal vote. Solution right there.
Glad to see there are comments from muslims who don't see it as a problem included in the report .
I call BS! on the isLame! If their slow (sorta) take over of UK to turn it into another muslin state of hate, Bigotry, & violence, then voting is a religious act, so voting etc during a time when you are continuously pointing your asses to gawd should be OK! And if allah is your main sheep herder (boss) then voting is of no concern! Well, unless you are trying to force everyone else into you delusional mold!
Or be more xtian and have your ramadamAdingdong in a week end instead of a whole month….or said directly …piss off! And shame on the MP for any apology.
The religious moaning as usual because the world doesn't bend to their irrational whims. Voting shouldn't be a problem for muslims given how postal voting fraud is rife among them.
I wonder what the next complaint will be? This does seem to be ridiculous. What is difficult about going into a voting booth putting a X on a piece of paper and putting that piece of paper in a box? Perhaps we could run some sort of competition to see who can guess what half whited complaint the muslim community will come up with next
"I think it would be fair to say that a lot of people in the Muslim community feel that they were certainly not even factored at all into the conversation or the thinking"
What an amusing assumption: that there was any real conversation or thinking involved in the decision to call this election. Still, it probably wouldn't be proper religion if they didn't go looking for excuses to feel hard done by.
Barry, while that poll is amusing, I'm not sure a sample of 288 with an obvious self-selection bias, and set of answers which, as one commenter rightly puts it…
"what a stupid survey. what clever choices you've given us: 1) I agree with you completely 2) I'm an idolator 3) I'm a Kaafir"
…actually "shows" anything about British Muslims in general.
Oops sorry: 388.
Fasting is between the person and their allah.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with any one who is not a Muslim or who cannot fast and to make it so is against Islam and is offensive.
These people moaning are idiotic and make their statements so devoid of reason they deserve utter contempt and ridicule.
Fasting is not supposed to make these people impotent or in capabale of daily life.
One paragraph moaning, then another advocating postal voting and so negating her first paragraph. Patronising.
Whinge whine bleat .. typical "it's all about me" islamoshite
The UK local council elections are being held on May 4th – Star Wars Day. Bloody sacrilege!
More importantly, 8th. June is the festival of Bishop Thomas Ken and Theresa May should have known that.
Under Charles II he had refused to give up his official lodging to Nell Gwynne but without any repercussions. Indeed he was made Bishop of Bath and Wells before the mere mention of the title brought forth smirks.
He interceded with the James II after the Monmouth Rebellion and tried to lessen the effects of the Bloody Assizes. Later Bishop Ken was sent to the Tower by the king and tried for high misdemeanours along with six other bishops for trying to keep the king on the right track, thus setting in motion the Glorious Revolution. This was inconvenient as he was unable to swear allegiance to William III and Mary II (he would have preferred a regency) as he had already so sworn to James II: no vicar of Bray, he.
He also wrote the hymn, "Awake, my soul, and with the sun" which, while a little sycophantic, is really quite good.
Despite all this, Bishop Ken's greatest failure remained his inability to achieve ordination for his lifelong companion, Barbie.
Allah is the only Legislator.
Just the sort of aphorism that I used to hear from fundamentalist Christians come election time:
"God is on the throne." (Titter ye not.)
"Our man's in."
"Man proposes but God disposes." (Another "clever", but meaningless, play on words.)
And, of course, that old favourite, "The powers that be are ordained of God."
Not a shred of evidence for any of it, naturally.
Sounds more like a back door way of reintroducing the widespread practice of postal voting in Asian communities, which effectively means no scrutiny of voting practice or chance to challenge bogus or multiple voting, e.g. as is possible when a local party activist spots a neighbour popping in to vote twice at the polling venue.
Some might recall that postal voting was widely abused in the UK general election before last – with investigations into voter fraud, suspicions that the votes of housebound women were effectively handed over to the (male) head of household, and that whole households with little grasp of English handed their voting cards handed over to political activists who kindly put the 'X' next to the 'right' candidate, etc.
In the efforts of fairness and conviviality and given the absurd number of "religious things"that happen each year, perhaps we should just all sit down and vegetate?
It can't be easy being Muslim. So many rules to follow!
PS Someone remind me please: which century are we living in?
BJ … You and I are living the 21st century but the pious are dragging us back to the dark ages. Forget all the hopes and ambition of the 20th century when a once great nation put men on the moon several times. Forget all that. Its all retrograde now … the pious have shameless unlimited energy to do what they know their gods want them to do which is to beggar and retard and crush the human race.
What's the word for when one culture insists on another culture to change its ways, when the former culture is in the location traditionally home to the later culture?
Is the word diversity? Acceptance? Multiculturalism? I can't remember.
Is it the same word for when a culture insists every culture in every location change its ways? Is that word respect?
There must be a word for it.
"If anyone thinks that their ability to go and vote will be affected, I urge them to register for a postal vote."
I urge them to take a look at themselves.

What Dies Inside While We're Still Alive?
According to Norman Cousins,"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live."
So what is it? Is it the hope inside us? Is it the will to live? Or is it the dream? I'm baffled by this. (I'll be updating this as soon as I have my answers…till then).

There's a lot of talk in woolly circles about people being "bicraftual". Normally, this refers to people who both knit and crochet. It's surprisingly uncommon – most people either have a very strong preference for one over the other, or are like me. I tried crossing over to the dark side (crochet), but I just can't get the hang of it. It's not even as if I just need to get over the hump of being a beginner and therefore rubbish, as in the same timeframe I've gone from roving falling apart in my hands to being a reasonably proficient spinner. There is something about crochet that just. Does. Not. Compute. So the bicraftual label is not one I normally claim for myself.
However, I do sew. I sew pretty badly, but that's besides the point. As it isn't one of the "Ravelry crafts" – that's knitting, crochet, spinning, weaving, dyeing and tatting, for the uninitiated – I tend not to consider it as part of the same crafty sphere.
I'm currently making an exception, because recently knitting and sewing have come together in a way that I didn't really expect. To be fair, it's mainly because I'm cheap and incompetent, but never mind.
I decided to make a pair of pyjama shorts from a recent-ish issue of BurdaStyle. Don't ask me which one, as it is currently in disgrace. I traced off the pattern pieces, drafted on the seam allowances and set to work. And before any of you start on me in the comments, yes, I checked my measurements. Several times, because I was a little bit taken aback (OK, and also slightly offended) to find that I had a size 16 waist according to the sizing chart. But I told myself to stop being vain and silly, to trust the pattern and tape measure, and continued.
Partly because this was my first time sewing with a knitted fabric, and partly because the pattern directions were sodding confusing, I didn't register the true size of what I was making until the time came to put the waist elastic in. I get that these are pyjamas and are meant to be loose-fitting, gathered in by the elastic. However, what I had made was HUGE. Proper ribcage to knees Victorian bloomers huge. Of course, I didn't notice this until after I'd gone through the massive ball ache that is hemming round a corner.
So I ripped all the seams out, hacked off the seam and hem allowances, plus a few inches at the waist for good measure, and redid it all. Still massive. Rinse and repeat.
Did I mentioned that this was the third time I'd had to hem around those sodding corners? In jersey, which slips and slides and gets pulled out of shape if you look at it funny? Good. So I think you can appreciate that perhaps I didn't do my best, neatest sewing on the final product, and thus it looks like it was sewn by a particularly uncoordinated drunk. Distressingly, I was sober the whole time so I can't use that excuse, but I think you can see why I couldn't face ripping it out and redoing it a fourth time.
This project also involved a scalloped lace trim around the hem. "Great!" I thought to myself on the way into the haberdashery. "I can use the lace to hide the wonky hem."
There was technically nothing wrong with the plan. However, as I went round multiple haberdasheries, it became clear that everything that even vaguely met the requirements of the pattern and what I had in my head either: a) cost upwards of £8 a metre, so to hell with that, or b) didn't exist. I tried the internet, but still nothing.
So I had a little think. This, my friends will tell you, never ends well. "I know!" I said to myself over a restorative ice cream, "I'll knit a scalloped lace edging for it. I've got loads of Victorian knitting pamphlets, and they're full of this kind of thing. Also, crochet cotton is way cheaper than this."
Again, this was perfectly sound reasoning, but this time I had failed to account for the fact that none of the patterns in these periodicals seem to have been proofread, never mind test knit. An afternoon of attempting to Macgyver a few of them into submission (and cursing the name of Mlle. de Riego) followed, until I realised that Franklin Habit had already done the hard work for me over at Knitty. So I stopped frantically charting lace and starting knitting instead.
This is the result. Yes, those are 1.5mm needles. I'm knitting a lace weight ballgown, and you only just realised that I have a weakness for big projects on tiny needles?
It's also been quite fun having a project that will fit in a pencil case, but I digress.
Anyway, it's taken a while, but I've finally managed to churn out enough edging to go around both legs, and sewn it on. I've even put the waist elastic in. So behold (I have ironed it, but for some reason it still photographs really creased).
It turns out I am bicraftual, just not in the way I expected.

Van building 6a: this trench is very regular in shape with quite clean sides, but it's not being excavated and it's not been backfilled or covered either, as the accumulation of rubbish shows; according to some locals, many of the others still believe that the former residents were wealthy and "buried their gold" before the destruction of the old city.
This and other holes are the work of current residents treasure-hunting; unfortunately the photo was over-exposed and I may be confusing it with another hole, but I think its diggers stopped when they hit a very large stone. (This photograph is taken from the east side.)

- Our recycling program is environmentally and financially important to our community. Environmentally, it's ultimate purpose is to save energy which is what it takes more of when we need to harvest or mine lower and lower quality reserves as we use things up. So environmentally it makes sense as long as there is a net savings in energy. Financially, the benefit comes two fold, the first being the cost that we don't pay to ship it off as trash to be burned.
- The second financial benefit is that all revenues from the program go towards lowering our assessment to the tax base each year. Revenues in excess of expectations are carried forward into the new year's budget. With these thoughts in mind, it makes total sense for everyone to be recycling. Well, we've changed a few things around over the last year. Most of this effort has been aimed at doing more with less; costing you, the taxpayer, less money.
We'll never achieve what we could, however, unless the public understands why the system is set up the way it is and continues to help us make it better. Let's take a walk down the line…..
As you approach the line, remember that either side can be used and please pull as far forward as you can.
This year the Camden Lions Club is helping us to recover returnables dropped off at the Station.
With a 66/33 split (66 to the club) perhaps your not for profit community service organization would be interested in helping us capture a year's worth of returnables. For more info and an application click here.
Clear Jars and Bottles Only: Please remove the lids as they are contaminants. While MCSW has been collecting clear jars and bottles for many years it has been perhaps a decade since it was actually recycled into more glass. This is because, drinking glasses, vases, window glass, pyrex, lightbulbs etcetera all have different melting temps. Jars and bottles melt at the same time and can be sold to the fiberglass insulation market.
Colored Jars and Bottles Only: Same idea, just jars and bottles! (not all jars and bottles)

by Kenneth Oppel
Pub. Date: April 22, 2014
For a good time adventure without kissy romance scenes or descriptive violence, this is the book for you. It has everything from Sasquatch to circus performers to scam artists. With the story of the transcontinental railroad as a backdrop, Oppel has created a tale of mystery, suspense, and fun with some historical facts mixed with tall tales that become reality. It is quite a page turner that several of my teens in the book club described as "unable to put down," and one teen I have never seen read a book was excited to tell me about what he was reading.
Will wants adventure. He has grown up hearing about all the adventures his father experienced while building the Canadian transcontinental railroad, and now he wants to experience his own adventures. Yet, his father has different plans for him that includes a position in the family business. Will has this one train trip on the Boundless left before he is expected to begin schooling in business. What could go wrong in a few days?
At their first stop, Will witnesses a murder. As he goes from train car to train car trying to avoid the men trying to kill him as the only witness to their crime, Will meets up with the circus performers travelling on the train and that's when the fun begins.
Personally, I loved this story. I can recommend it to people who want a clean book with a lot of adventure and memorable, inspiring characters. I also appreciated that several of the characters are not perfect, but have difficult moral questions that they have to work out. Also, I love the circus characters.
So, if you want a fun, historical story without too much romance or violence (and a clown, strongman, and elephants) you now have what you are looking for: Boundless.

Breathing places
Friday, May 28th, 2010
The BBC is running a project over the next few weeks entitled 'Breathing places'. The project aims to ask you to do one thing. This one thing this term is 'spotting ladybirds'. Therefore during the half term holidays we are asking you to go on a ladybird hunt. There are many different kinds of ladybirds and you can see the list of the different ones either on the letter given to the children on by visiting www.bbc.co.uk/breathingplaces/schools
Here are the details of how to go about your hunt:
– Find a suitable place to find your ladybirds. This could be in a garden, the park, the woodland, some moorland, some marshland etc
– Take a digital camera with you if you have one and take some pictures of the ladybirds you find. You can upload these photos to the website later on.
– Look for 20 minutes for your ladybirds and record how many you find on your data sheet
– Don't forget to look under leaves, bark and other small places to find them
– Once you have collected your data, you can submit it online by clicking onto the website link.
There is a lot of information and fascinating facts about the ladybirds on the website. The results the BBC collects will help scientists understand more about these intriguing creatures.
Have fun hunting!

Just like last year, the 2014 Daytime Emmy acting reels are being made available for public viewing online. The roundup of episode submissions continues with Best Supporting Actor. I've watched all five. Will Bradford Anderson ("General Hospital") finally win on his fifth try in six years?
Watch his rivals' reels:
Steve Burton, Scott Clifton, Eric Martsolf, and Dominic Zamprogna
Length of Reel: 7:51
Synopsis: Damien Spinelli (Anderson), whose friends have just had a baby using a surrogate, learns from his current girlfriend, Ellie (Emily Wilson), that the baby is actually his and she lied about it for fear of losing him.
Analysis: Spinelli's relationship woes continue. Last year, he submitted an episode in which he felt strung along in his on-again-off-again romance with Maxie, and in this year's reel he finds out Maxie has secretly had his child and his current girlfriend lied about it. In just eight minute he gets plenty of impact and range, beaming with joy at the discovery that he is a father, and then furious about having been lied to.
Most of the reel is a two-hander between Anderson and Wilson, and the focus is squarely on his performance, though much of the dialogue is spent untangling exposition — explaining how Maxie passed off his baby as a surrogate child takes some doing — which may distract from the emotions involved, especially in the first half.
Anderson is one of four actors in this category who submitted baby storylines. Will he win, or will all the baby drama cancel itself out? Watch his submitted scenes below, then predict Best Supporting Actor and discuss all the episodes in our forums:

V-Moda's Updated Crossfade 2 Wireless Headphones
Image Source
Although the brand new version of the V-Moda's Crossfade headphones is a highly awaited product, the question in contention is whether the improvements are as effective as they claim to be. With new dimensions to sound and product quality, will this latest piece of gadget stand up to its expectations or fail to make an impression?
The original V-Moda's Crossfade Wireless headphones were the resultant of a basic idea. It simply meant choosing the most popular Crossfade headphones of the time and snipping the cords off. Now that the new version of V-Moda is doing the rounds, a lot of us are wondering what could possibly be different about the Crossfade 2 Wireless. Let us find out!
To put it in simple terms, the brand new Crossfade 2 Wireless keeps the familiar Crossfade design intact while adding new drivers and ear cushions to it. The second significant addition is the battery life that is seemingly much better than the original version. Now, who wouldn't want better battery life? This definitely seems to be worth the wait! What else is new?
Sound Quality
We are being told that the sound quality of the new Crossfade 2 Wireless is much better. What makes it better though? On reviewing the headphones, it is not difficult to find out that the new drivers have been added to enhance sound quality and the ear cushions are specifically meant to block out external noises for an improved hearing experience.
Whether these changes actually offer better sound experience than the original headphones is a verdict that can be passed only after an in-person test.
At 309g, the Crossfade 2 Wireless weighs more than the original that weighed around 292g. This difference in weight is defended by V-Moda by referring to the 15% larger battery in the latest version that is designed to last a whopping 14 hours. For an everyday user, it is challenging to keep pace with battery requirements. A red, blinking battery on our headphones is the last thing that we want to look at. Considering how important battery life is to a music enthusiast, this minor difference in weight does not seem that big a deterrent to making a purchase.
Yet another remarkable feature is the fact that the new headphones can be used in the wired mode, if the battery dies, without compromising a single bit on the audio quality.
Image Source
More features
Yet another feature that the new Crossfade 2 Wireless headphone is reported to be equipped with is the Bluetooth aptX audio. However, this feature is only available in the rose gold model that is priced at $350. This price is $20 more than what the standard black-and-white version stands at).
Whether this feature is worth the additional $20 is a relative subject since the requirements varies from person to person.
- Price factor
The latest version has a slightly elevated price, starting at around $30 more than their original version. The change in price is directly related to the additional features and also the fact that it is a brand new launch in the market. Will users take to this price or will it witness a massive failure? It is still an ongoing speculation.
Final Thoughts
In technical terms, the enhancements are not as exciting as they seem to be since the improvements are minor changes to the original version. It is still hard to figure out whether this piece of gadget can justify the change in price or not. However, there is no denying the fact that better audio quality, enhanced comfort with regard to ear cushions and a superior battery life could be quite fetching to an everyday user. These could very well be deal-breaking factors!

"Not neccessarily for holidays, but for anytime you want a nice comfort dish. As usual, I do not peel my potatoes. Also, to prevent lumps, I add the flour to about 2 tablespoons of chicken broth in a jar, shake it hard, then add to the butter. Cooks Illustrated suggests using the large, coarse grains of kosher salt which makes sprinkling easy. They also suggest if you can find it, try substituting rich, creamy Italian (not Danish) fontina cheese for the Gouda. Adapted from Cooks Illustrated, Nov. 1999 issue. Hope you enjoy!"
Holiday Potato Casserole With Gouda, Garlic, and Thyme
