The consumption of alcohol is prohibited, but alcoholic based perfumes as I was told recently is not forbidden however it is not recommended nor encouraged. The weakest argument I've heard regarding the former is that alcohol based perfumes can lead the person in consuming alcohol which is not true. alcohol when touchibng the surface of our skin evaporates. It does not reach our blood stream nor are we intoxicated by its scent.

According to one of Dr. Muzzamil Siddiqi's answer on this question he specified that denatured alcohol is permissable. It's different from the alcohols in wine/liquers.
Even Listerine antiseptic mouthwash is permissable as it's denatured.
One of the ladies at the cosmetic counter told me that all ointments/lotions/mosturizers contain alcohol as a preservative.
We even use rubbing alcohol for wounds and scratches on our skin.
I think we concentrate too much on petty stuff and make our life difficult.

Dr. Joon Youb Lee is the co-chief executive officer of Taejoon Pharm, Korea
Established in 1978, Taejoon Pharm has been a leading specialty pharma company in Korea in ophthalmology, contrast media and other sectors of the gastrointestinal area. Since 2002, the company has achieved top market share in the ophthalmologic sector and has retained a leading position in the market of contrast media, next to multinational pharmaceuticals.
To compete globally, Taejoon Pharm built a state-of-the-art factory with cGMP certification in 2005 and has been exporting Xalost eye drop (latanoprost), a glaucoma agent, to the European Union since 2009. In 2012, the number of countries to which the company exports its products has reached 30.
In an interview with BioSpectrum, Dr Joon Youb Lee, co-chief executive officer shares the company's plans for 2012 and his take on Korea's life sciences market.
With Taejoon's products reaching 30 countries worldwide, what's next in the pipeline?
Dr Lee: We are already present in countries like Italy, Spain, UK, Poland and Switzerland and are now planning to launch Xalost eye drop in the US and South America, including Brazil. In 2012, we also plan to enter the Chinese market with the approval from the SFDA of China. We cater to nearly all types of ophthalmologic products such as treatment agents for dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, cataract, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-allergic drugs; and drugs for retinal disorders. Besides, we also have every line of contrast media products for CT angiography, MRI and UGI (upper gastrointestinal tract).

Lecture on "dark side" of Christian history, April 17
Posted April 14, 2000; 09:44 a.m.
Helen Ellerbe, writer, researcher and author, will lecture on "The Dark Side of Christian History" on April 17 at 8 p.m. in Betts Auditorium in the Architecture building.
With the Pope's recent apology and the Church's commitment to addressing its past, a chronicle of some of the Church's more unseemly deeds is more relevant than ever. What events in Christian history were remarkably un-Christian and how did the Church justify them? What can this tell us about the role of the Church today and its trajectory for the future?
The lecture has been organized by CommonSense , Princeton's freethought alliance.

FACEBOOK QUESTION: Wednesday, October 29, 2012
What is your favorite Faulkner novel? Click here to tell us and join the debate.
OXFORD – Nobel laureate William Faulkner reaches out from the grave to legally slap the hands of two giant corporations and a Pulitzer prize- winning newspaper.
His lawyers say they used the iconic writer's words without his permission.
"These people should have known better," said Lee Caplin, a Los Angeles producer, who recently worked in Mississippi with actor-director James Franco on the film version of Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying."
Caplin, manager of the Faulkner estate and Faulkner Literary Rights LLC, brings the lawsuits through the Oxford law firm Mayo and Mallette.
FLR, a Virginia company established by Faulkner's daughter Jill Faulkner Summers, owns all rights, titles and interest in his name, image and likeness.
Two lawsuits on file this week in Mississippi federal courts ask for compensation and other damages against defense contractor Northrop Grumman Corp. and The Washington Post Co., in the Southern District, and against Sony Pictures Classics Inc. and up to 100 people yet to be named, in the Northern District.
The defendants have yet to respond to the allegations.
FLR claims:
• On July 4, 2011, Northrop Grumman ran a full-page ad in The Washington Post containing the Faulkner quote: "We must be free and not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it."
Most of the ad was a large color photograph of an American flag with the Faulkner quote across the top, noting at the bottom that on July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, "making us a free nation."
• In 2011, Sony distributed and marketed the movie, "Midnight in Paris," written and directed by Woody Allen. In the film, a time-traveling character played by actor Owen Wilson tells a friend, "The past is not dead! Actually, it's not even past," saying he's met and heard those words from Faulkner.
The passage comes from Faulkner's book "Requiem for a Nun" and reads: "The past is never dead. It's not even past."
Both lawsuits say the companies used Faulkner's work for their own financial benefit and that the great man's legacy company is due damages.
Caplin said Faulkner "was never about money," but he likely would have wanted to be consulted for permission before a company made commercial use of his work.
Mayo says the Northrop Grumman use of Faulkner's quote is particularly troublesome because it comes from a 1956 Harper's magazine essay reflecting on the aftermath of the historic U.S. Supreme Court decision to abolish school desegregation and racial inequality, and it's not about freedom per se.
The lawsuits do not specify what monetary damages are asked but leave that to Mississippi juries to determine, if they agree with the complaints.

Madison - Armand "Rich" Richman, age 85 passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 27, 2013. He was born on September 27, 1927 in Madison, the son of Morris and Bellle G. (Vein) Richman. On June 1, 1952 Armand was united in marriage to Frances Kuban. Together they raise four beautiful children. Armand was best known for his love of bowling. He was a member of the Madison Bowling Association Hall of Fame. He also highly enjoyed fishing and golfing. At one time he was a member of the City Golf Team. In his spare time you could catch him watching the Packer and Badgers play, gardening and just "tinkering" around the house. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
Armand is survived by his four children; Roxanne (Steve) Richman, Kim (Patty) Richman all of Madison, Jay (Deb) Richman of Conover, WI and Brett Richman of Madison, five grandchildren; Garrett (Megan), Chadd (Andrea), Erin, Adam and Cyrus Reed, four great grandchildren; MacKenzie, Austin, Madeline and Adeline and his dog and best friend; Lexxi. He is also survived my many other loving family and friends.
Armand was preceded in death by his parents and wife, Fran in 1996.
Private family services were held.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Kostelyna and his staff at Dean Clinic, the staff at Legacy Gardens and Heartland Hospice for all the care and love given to Armand and our family.

I am lucky enough to have friends and family who support my obsession with rescuing old worn-out furniture and decor. I love getting a phone call from someone who has some old junk for me to makeover.
My step-grandmother-in-law (say that five times fast) recently gave me this mirror to transform. It had a sweet little shape but many years ago it had been painted the color of a number two pencil – not the best look.
I knew right away this mirror was calling out for more than a fresh coat of paint. It needed something graphic to help keep the curves from looking too country. I knew that maps were the perfect solution.
I adore map projects. One of my very first posts highlighted some amazing map inspiration and one of my favorite projects is my map typewriter stand.
I started by taping off the mirror and spray painting the frame white in case the paint showed through anywhere. Then I broke out the Mod podge and a 1989 atlas from the Goodwill.
The last time I tried to mod podge a map, it turned into a wrinkly mess. I did not want that happening again, so I followed some tips from Mod Podge Rocks and sprayed both sides of my maps with acrylic sealer first.
I mod podged the map to the frame and then followed up with four coats of mod podge on top to make sure it was protected.
I love how it turned out! Beautiful, graphic, and wrinkle-free.
I chose to use the maps of major U.S. cities for this project.
I love how the maps wrap around the chunky sides of the mirror.
Of course, this would be a great using a map of your own city or state. And the same technique could be used to wrap picture frames. It would be really sweet to cover some frames in maps of your favorite vacation spots and fill them with vacation photos. Hmm…I may just have to try that one myself. Personalized, meaningful home décor is always my favorite.
So, do you love maps as much as me? Seen any other great map projects lately?

How does your club handle the purchase of new guns? Where we are clubs can't purchase guns. They have to be purchased by an individual. With all the new gun laws no one in either of my clubs wants to put club guns in their name as they will be liable if something should happen. Even tho the clubs have liability insurance, members are worried about being sued separately from the club and losing their homes or life savings.

I keep hearing about a modified .22 rifle with a sound enhancer machined to the gun barrel. Anyone have a more detailed description of these?
I'd buy one of the Thunder 100 shotgun simulator deals. Safer, cheaper and you don't have to reload it.
Decent gun. You must locktite the screws ( blue or white) so they don't vibate loose and these have a safety that is a pain, but over all for just over a hundred bucks, they work fine.
Next option is finding old NEF's but good luck with that.
Never trust a dog to watch your food!
Thanks for the input. We run AKC tests. Have not purchased any new guns for sometime, that is a lot of the reason we need to. I will check with legal to see what we need to do to purchase in compliance with gun laws.


text: The best price for POTC is Wal-Mart. They were 5.88 at mine, but I got them for 4.77 as thye never changed the tags on the pegs. SO before yoiu purchase them, look at the shelf tags and see whatr the price is. If its cheaper, they have to give it to you for that price.

Crumar Spirit
The Crumar Spirit was originally designed by Bob Moog (himself), Jim Scott & Tom Rhea and released back in 1983. It is a full featured analog monophonic synthesizer with 2 VCO's so it's got a pretty fat tone, but not as much as the classic 3-VCO Minimoog. However it is considerably more flexible than the latter. It has a basic 37-note keyboard without velocity or aftertouch. The two oscillators feature basic sawtooth, triangle and square waves and can be synced together.
The filter section is very nice featuring low-, high- and band-pass filters and switchable 12dB or 24dB slopes. Other features of the filter include an independent envelope with inverted and normal ADSR, key tracking and single or multiple triggering of the filter. Some other features of the Spirit include a built-in ring-modulator, an Arpeggiator with 3 different patterns and that can be linked to the LFO, and there's an external audio input for running external sounds through its filters, LFOs or Ring Mod.
For the hands-on approach, the Spirit is sure to please. There are 24 knobs, 10 switches and 15 sliders to start. There are 3 performance wheels for controlling the Pitch, Mod-X and Shaper-Y modulation effects (see LFO specs below). Using those with the Arpeggiator can get pretty wild. The Arpeggiator features 3 modes: Ripple (Up/Down), Arpeggio (Up several octaves) and Leap (Goes up 1 and then 4 octaves). There are also Auto and preset Glide modes for getting some elasticity or bending effects. Since all the LFOs, envelopes and filters are quite flexible you are sure to get some weird noises, fat basses, synths, etc. with the Spirit.

I'm sending this story to a bunch of people in my address book. This really needs to get out to the public!!
There are a lot of Walter Mitty's out there who think they are somehow their license to carry permits them to be a gun slinging savior of the world. Now, that is a damn scary thought. I taught school for a few years after I graduated from college. Last thing I want to see in a school building is a firearm.

Zeus, I bet there are 20 parents in Newtown, Ct that would disagree with you. Switzerland has gun laws that make it mandatory for all citizens to own a firearm and receive gov't training on safety and use. The gov't actually provides the firearms to citizens after a certain age. Switzerland has the lowest crime rate in the world. Feel free to google this for verification. BTW I'm a former police officer and still carry a concealed weapon everywhere I go...including my kids school.

We can always hope Playmates brings the line back out - with Wave 2 as well as a Wave 3 from the next movie when that's ready to go.
The movie end of things is only just beginning.
But Playmates could change the size, quality, or anything by that point.
I don't know how long they'll have the license.
However, for some of the figures:
McCoy in blue
Chekov in yellow
They will definitely be recurring in the next movie, most likely.
As for two cool ones I really want:
Kirk in Skydive gear
Sulu in Skydive gear
I really worry about these making it out.
I also don't know if Kirk in black shirt will arrive - but that's probable.
Sarek? The Romulan General? Keenser?
What about the Delta-Vega beasts? Those were nice-looking toys and I want them! They were in the 7" line, and Chekov and McCoy will surely need to make it out in that line if the size continues to be offered.

Real Estate Credit Investments Pcc Limit (RECP.L) shares are in the spotlight as significant volume was spotted in the most recent session. 400000 shares have traded hands compared to the three month average of 0.02m. Technical traders will be keeping a close eye on the stock to see if the momentum crosses key levels.
Fundamentals & Ratios
Now we'll take a look at how the fundamentals are stacking up for Real Estate Credit Investments Pcc Limit (RECP.L). Fundamental analysis takes into consideration market, industry and stock conditions to help determine if the shares are correctly valued. Real Estate Credit Investments Pcc Limit currently has a yearly EPS of 12.00. This number is derived from the total net income divided by shares outstanding. In other words, EPS reveals how profitable a company is on a share owner basis.
Another indicator we can look at to determine the profitability of the company is the Price to Earnings ratio, or P/E ratio. Real Estate Credit Investments Pcc Limit (RECP.L) has a current P/E ratio of 8.55. This ratio reveals what the market is willing to pay for a given stock based on the firm's current earnings. It's a useful tool for helping determine if the stock is fairly price, overvalued or undervalued. The formula to arrive at a P/E ratio is simply dividing the market value price per share by earnings per share.
A higher P/E ratio is typically indicative of positive future earnings growth and performance. A company with a lower P/E ratio might encourage investors to do some additional homework to see why the current performance and earnings expectations are lower than their peers.
Another key indicator that can help investors determine if a stock might be a quality investment is the Return on Equity or ROE. Real Estate Credit Investments Pcc Limit (RECP.L) currently has Return on Equity of 7.21. ROE is a ratio that measures profits generated from the investments received from shareholders. In other words, the ratio reveals how effective the firm is at turning shareholder investment into company profits.
A company with high ROE typically reflects well on management and how well a company is run at a high level. A firm with a lower ROE might encourage potential investors to dig further to see why profits aren't being generated from shareholder money.
Another ratio we can look at is the Return on Invested Capital or more commonly referred to as ROIC. Real Estate Credit Investments Pcc Limit (RECP.L) has a current ROIC of 5.33. ROIC is calculated by dividing Net Income – Dividends by Total Capital Invested. Similar to ROE, ROIC measures how effectively company management is using invested capital to generate company income. A high ROIC number typically reflects positively on company management while a low number typically reflects the opposite.
Turning to Return on Assets or ROA, Real Estate Credit Investments Pcc Limit (RECP.L) has a current ROA of 5.22. This is a profitability ratio that measures net income generated from total company assets during a given period. This ratio reveals how quick a company can turn it's assets into profits. In other words, the ratio provides insight into the profitability of a firm's assets. The ratio is calculated by dividing total net income by the average total assets.
A higher ROA compared to peers in the same industry, would suggest that company management is able to effectively generate profits from their assets. Similar to the other ratios, a lower number might raise red flags about management's ability when compared to other companies in a similar sector.
Stock Performance
In taking a look at Real Estate Credit Investments Pcc Limit's recent performance, near-term the stock has moved 0.32% over the past 5 trading days, -1.41% over the past 20 trading days, -1.16% over the past 13 weeks, -1.39% over the past half year and -1.87% over the past 52 weeks.

You act as if this guy has been president before and has an established record. Carzine is a perfect example of a rich guy that ran GS that was a total flop. Bain Capital and Goldman are not that different...same type of charactors run them. This thought that businessmen make good public leaders is false. The rules are to different.

I agree with much of what you say , but not all. I have hunted a lot , and I do mean a lot in both Alabama and Mississippi. Believe me , there are just as many birds in Mississippi as in Alabama. As for the harvest, neither state has a decent system to know how many birds have been taken. It is all guesswork. There are no tags.
In Alabama , they say they do surveys. However, I have killed over 100 gobblers here and no one has ever sent me a survey.
J Hook Max wrote:The Alabama season opens March 15 and stays open until April 30th. The limit is five gobblers. Mississippi season is very similar and I think the limit is four. However, jakes are not allowed in Mississippi.
One thing about both states is that they are very poor. The state governments have very little money and do not have the Resources to maintain a tagging sysytem. Luckily, there is so much habitat and much of the management falls on private landowners and the hunters themselves. Many of them are very knowledgable about turkey management and many take it very serious.
Many landowners will allow people to lease their property for deer hunting, but will not allow anyone to turkey hunt.

Contraindications: Hydrofera Blue is not recommended for use on 3rd degree burns.
Hydrofera Blue is a simple, safe, effective and proven moist wound dressing. It is constructed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) sponge complexed with two organic pigments, which provide broad-spectrum bacteriostatic protection. The pigments (Methylene Blue and Gentian Violet) have been used safely in medicine for over 50 years and have proven effective against a variety of microorganisms including MRSA and VRE.
Hydrofera Blue has been approved for use on all types of wounds except third degree burns. Hydrofera Blue is intended for use on complex wounds and, in trials, has shown excellent results in treatment of wounds r/t Pyoderma, radiation burns, chemical burns, venous stasis ulcers, yeast infections, folliculitis and infected wounds. It can also be used to provide a safer moist environment for optimum wound healing on non-infected wounds.
Hydrofera Blue is highly absorptive. In addition to being bacteriostatic, its open cell structure provides capillary vacuum action to draw excess fluid and exudates from the wound bed. Hydrofera Blue must be moistened with sterile saline or sterile water, squeezed out and secured to the wound bed with an appropriate secondary dressing. When kept moist, Hydrofera Blue is incredibly soft and comfortable for the patient. Other attributes of the dressing include gentile self-debridement of necrotic tissue and odor control through prevention of the growth of odor causing bacteria on the sponge. Dressings should be changed every 1 to 3 days following good wound care practice. In cases of high infection, the dressing may require more frequent change, which will be indicated by the dressing changing color from blue to white.
Testing in preparation for FDA approval of the product included testing for cytotoxicity, sensitization, mucous membrane irritation, bacterial endotoxin, microbial limits, and effectiveness.
Hydrofera Blue Wound Use Guide:
Directions for Use:
1) WET IT: with Sterile Saline or Sterile Water
2) SQUEEZE IT: Leave some fluid in for drier wounds. Squeeze almost dry for heavily exudating wounds
3) POSITION IT: Always in contact with wound surface. Either place as packing, or cover wound by overlapping wound edges by > 1".
4) COVER IT: Hold in place using gauze for heavily exudating wounds, use Vaseline gauze for moderate exudating wounds, and clear film for drier wounds. Make sure dressing does not dry out.
5) LEAVE IT: For 1 to 3 days. Change when area over wound is saturated.
6) WATCH IT: When white or lightened spots appear on dressing, change to continue bacterial control regardless of time.

May 31, 2014
If you keep the hydrofera moist, it keeps the wound dressings from sticking on the wound. Works great.
Cons:Over the top Expensive! The manufacturer must be making a ton of money. How much could it cost to make a sponge? They need a competitor.

Fitzgerald expects March vote on mining
GOP: Mining bill will be first one offered
MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said he expects a March vote on a bill to overhaul state mining regulations.
Assembly Republican leaders have promised the first bill they'll introduce this session will deal with mining.
"I am very optimistic that it will be introduced, hopefully by the end of next week or sooner, and that we can have hearings by the end of the month," said Assembly Speaker Robin Vos.
Fitzgerald, a Juneau Republican, told reporters Monday he expects the Senate will vote on the bill in early March.
"I think you'd be hard pressed to find a legislator that thinks our current set of statues is absolutely acceptable. They're outdated and onerous, and they need to be revisited, and I think that's what we're doing right now," Fitzgerald said.
He didn't offer any specifics about the bill's provisions. But he said it's going to be difficult to ever get northwestern Wisconsin's American Indian tribes on board. The tribes have said they do not want any type of mining legislation passed.
Republicans have been working to streamline mining requirements to help Gogebic Taconite open an iron mine near Lake Superior. They pushed a bill through the state Assembly last session but the measure died in the Senate.
The newly drafted mining bill will start with the Joint Finance Committee version crafted last year, which Republican leaders hope to get through both houses as early as March.
Democrats said that bill is a start but more changes are needed.
"Now, we don't expect it to even have to be perfectly in the middle; we'd hope (Republicans) will at least come somewhat to the middle, and if they do that I think there could be broad support," said Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca.
Republicans said they will use work done in the Senate late last year as part of "tweaking" they say can be done, but they said any bill has to be palatable to the mining industry.
"My hope is to take the very best ideas, not just those we have seen throughout the course of the last session, take the best ideas from Senate Democrats and the process they utilized and in the end has bipartisan support, but most importantly brings the mining jobs to Wisconsin in a way that will actually accomplishes that and not just pass a bill that never achieves it," Vos said.
"I hope if they're true to saying they're open to Sen. Cullen's approach, and if they can take a look at some of the more positive elements of what Sen. Schultz and Sen. Jauch put together, which is a true bipartisan effort, then we could maybe have some meaningful debate and move forward with a positive bill," Barca said.
Republicans said hearings should start by the end of the month but won't say for sure where those will take place, including about whether any of those will happen in northern Wisconsin.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Calling solar "critical to the United States" when it comes to meeting its future carbon reduction goals, Department of Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz today delivered the keynote address at Solar Power International (SPI), the largest solar trade show in America, co-sponsored by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).
"Cost reduction, as we have seen dramatically in solar energy, is very much a part of shaping our clean energy future," Moniz said. "We've seen costs of modules decline by nearly 80 percent.

The public input results are in regarding the potential changes of the WI turkey hunting management plan. You can find the complete survey here
I have been reviewing and trying to understand what the respondents meant in regards to the questions about limits in the fall and spring if the drawing scheme were to be eliminated. Then a large majority would like a 1 or2 bird limit and not the 1 per tag system we have now.
Unfortunately, here in WI we do not trust our trained biologists to make decisions. They're supervised by supposedly public selected boards whose members are selected more based on political considerations than any expertise in wildlife management.
I do not know how much credibility is going to be put on these survey results.

Wolves 0 Shrewsbury Town 0 - match report, video and pictures
Wolves' record-breaking nine-match winning run came to an end as they were frustrated by a stubborn Shrewsbury to draw 0-0 at Molineux.
Kenny Jackett's side could have few complaints as they struggled to match their recent levels of performance and failed to force opposing keeper Joe Anyon into a serious save despite dominating.
Brentford's 1-0 win at Leyton Orient at lunchtime meant Wolves went into the game top on goal difference and they are now a point clear.
James Henry fired straight at Anyon in first-half time added on and substitute Leon Clarke could only prod the ball straight at the keeper on 79.
But it was a poor sum total of openings as Wolves couldn't break down a well organised defence as they failed to score for the first time in 10 since the 1-0 defeat at Gillingham on January 3.
Head coach Jackett made his first change in six games and it was an enforced one as captain Sam Ricketts failed to recover from a thigh strain in time.
Ethan Ebanks-Landell won the race to replace him ahead of Matt Doherty, who remained on an unchanged bench.
Wolves favourites Steve Bull, Andy Mutch, Andy Thompson and Robbie Dennison were paraded on the pitch before kick-off, but it was the appearance of Graham Turner, who managed both clubs to success that drew the biggest applause, and from both sets of fans.
Wolves enjoyed by far the most possession of a one-sided first half, but Shrewsbury had clearly done their homework and contained them with some ease.
The visitors defended in numbers, getting plenty of men behind the ball when Wolves attacked.
And, coupled with a less than turbo-charged home side who failed to scale the heights of their blistering first 45 minutes at Swindon, it made for a frustrating first 45 minutes for Wolves fans as their side toiled away in the early spring Molineux sunshine.
Chances were extremely thin on the ground, with no clear-cut openings before half-time.
Shrewsbury went closest, with Sam Foley forcing a falling save to his right from Carl Ikeme with a tame, left-foot shot in the second minute.
James Henry, who was Wolves' liveliest player in the opening period and showed most urgency, fired over from a shot on the turn in the eighth minute in their first attack.
Shrewsbury briefly threatened again in the 16th minute when Joe Jacobson rose highest to Wolverhampton-born Miles Storey's corner but could only head well over the bar.
Wolves had to wait until the minute of time added on at the end of the half to test keeper Joe Anyon, and even then Henry's fiercely-hit left-foot drive was straight at him.
Both teams looked sharper for the break and Shrewsbury were first to threaten through Storey, who looked to lob Ikeme and had the keeper at full stretch to tip away on 46.
Wolves returned fire and Scott Golbourne saw a sidefooted effort headed away from in front of the line by Connor Goldson after Anyon spilled Henry's cross on 48.
The home side however had a double scare on 54 when Joe Jacobson's free kick was deflected wide then Tamika Mkandiwire's header flashed inches wide from Storey's corner.
Ten minutes into the second half Wolves made a double substitution in a bid to find that elusive breakthrough with Leon Clarke and Matt Doherty replacing Henry and Ebanks-Landell.
But the switch had little immediate effect as Wolves struggled to break down a determined Town rearguard.
Two half chances fell to Sako, but the French winger dragged his first effort wide on an angled run from a loose ball after Jacobs tumbled, then he screwed wide after a lovely disguised pass from Jacobs inside the full-back.
A third attempt from Sako, on 77, drifted wide from the edge of the box.
Clarke had Wolves' clearest chance two minutes later from McDonald's dink over the top, but could only sidefoot straight at Anyon from point-blank range.
Sako had two more half openings, seeing a fierce drive blocked by Connor Goldson on 87 from Richard Stearman's pull back then rifling a rising right-footed effort a foot too high two minutes later.
Wolves were inches away from a goal in the third of the three minutes' time added on when Clarke and Dicko slid in for Doherty's header across the face of goal.
But it was the excellent Mkandiwire who got a foot to it first to clear the danger.
That left Wolves settling for a point as their winning run came to an end but there could be few complaints on a day when they struggled to open up a very well organised defence.Subscribe to our Newsletter

The Flying Winger
It had to happen sometime and at least we didn't lose.
More teams will make it harder for us from now and it is a timely reminder for all how hard the final run is going to be.
Shame for such a big crowd no to see a win but there you go.
Change of tactics may be needed in the next few weeks so will be interesting to see how we move forward from today.
All credit to Shrewsbury.
Mountain Wolf
I agree with everything you've said and hope that the lads' confidence hasn't taken too much of a knock. Even the South Bank seemed not quite at its best although many attempts were made to fire up an atmosphere. On the plus side we were warm and dry. It's been a long time since that happened.
Stearmans overhead kick
Spot on flying winger. The bottom six teams will be taking points off the top six teams from now up until the end of the season without a doubt.This happens in all divisions coming towards the end of the season. I posted on here a few weeks ago that this usually happens around Easter time though .It happened also when we was winning for fun the last time we were in this division, Agree, the change of tactics will have to be considered by Kenny. To combat a few stubborn well organized defensive displays like witnessed today.They come not to get beat and done it very well. But don't forget these got a home draw against Brentford a couple of weeks ago and could have won it in the last minute. We have all been spoiled recently but be prepared for the spoilers to give us more of what we have witnessed today. Even this won't stop us winning the division though.
Totally agree with you, Flying Winger.
Bruce, Trinidad
Agree we are going to get a lot of this from opposing teams. Over the years we always seem to disappoint big crowds. Let's hope this is just a minor hiccup.
It had to end at some point, pity it was at home against a side we should beat , but it's another point and on another day the chances would of been converted. Fair play to the Shrews, they stuck to their game plan.
Let the band wagon roll on to Crawley, the 2 games in hand are going to be massive, win them and it should be promotion.
Chins up, move on.
It will all end glorious.
We did,nt loose ! 10 games unbeaten , look on the bright side of life, it ain,t to bad UTW
Ronnie Allen
good luck with o levels....
Thanks for the grammar lesson, my fingers to big for phone UTW
Ronnie Allen
Solid, but let's not get nervous.
Nine wins in a row Plus a Drawer =10 games unbeaten on this run of games . Is that better UTW
Its always hard when smaller teams park the bus infront of the bigger ones, but at least its a point, and we all know how far a point can go when the league is so tight at the top.
Main thing now is our heads dont drop and we get back to winning ways asap, still top of the league, still got the best defensive record in the league and were still favourites for the title, so any doom mongers waiting for this result, keep your critism to yourself.
Jack the Hat
You should know all about small clubs parking the bus, we used to have a hard time getting round yours.
Stearmans overhead kick
Shouldn't you be down the scrapyard with your Spanish flag Jack sorting your own clapped out bus Jack?
Jack the Hat
Stearmans overhead kick,
What has rattled your cage?, Rhys agrees with me look,
" Its always hard when smaller teams park the bus infront of the bigger ones ( Buses ), ". Never mind you might win the next match.
I should be at the hospital seeing how our walking wounded are doing.
Stearmans overhead kick
Your on here early posting Jack.Has the landlord also got fed up of your daftness and chucked you out ?
Jack the Hat
Stearmans overhead kick,
You seem to know all about do you talk through experience.
Gorra loff ay ya.
You get games like this, everybody does. Brush it off, get back on the bike & let's see three points against Crawley.
Good to see Graham Turner get a good welcome back here.
brierley hill wolf
Took there foot of the pedal a bit today shame but like you say tfw at least they didnt lose and shreswbury deserved a point they worked hard and could easily have nicked it.
Jack the Hat
brierley hill,
I was under the impression the Shrews went into overdrive.
Still in your armchair Jack? Been a bit quiet lately?
Jack the Hat
I know I have been quiet lately, your mods waste-bin must be overflowing to the extent it has become a fire hazard, L☺Ls. Never mind the odd one is getting through to keep up your moral. This is the time of the Championship season where the nerves start to jangle, are you sensing anything among wolves fans yet?.
brierley hill wolf
Jack I dont think they went into overdrive more like we stalled
Is that supposed to make any sense or have you had one too many watching MOD2 in your armchair?
It's usually the way at Wolves.A couple of good away wins.Then come home to a big crowd only to disappoint.Still all good things come to an end.Now let's start another winning run.
Statos Boring Brother
Well it had to come to an end at some stage but credit to the Shrews who worked very hard even if it frustrating to watch. Its something we're likely to see again at home a couple of times when we play Carlise & Colchester and possibly Rotherham if they are clinging on to the play offs. We might even see it away when we play Stevenage & Crewe who might decide to pack the defence and play for a point.
I think we miss Ricketts when he's out, not just for his defending and overlaps but also the way he orgainises and nags the lads. The team has been playing so well and working so hard for the last month that possibly we just ran out of steam a little.
At least we've now got a 4 point advantage on Orient in third place. UTW
was in the north bank, and despite the large crowd, and a plucky shrewsbury wolves ran out of steam and kj needs to freshen up the lineup for the next game to keep things ticking over. sako was dissapointing and tried to shoot from anywhere and leon clark needs to start next game, dicko was isolated too often. our defence were untroubled and ikeme only had one save as well,.
roll on next game. utw.
Jack the Hat
North Bank!, isn't that an insult to your modern monstrosity of a stand. How was your vertigo and had you got your oxygen bottle with you. If wolves need to freshen up the side, I recommend Febreze, a few squirts of that in the changing room should do the trick and it is not to be sniffed at.
Roll on the next game!, careful what you wish for, just sayin'.
Gorra loff ay ya.
Ronnie Allen
Now is not the time to get nervous. Like we always do...
Where is that bloke with that flag, ' You have cheered us up again'.
Is he still alive? Bless....
Jack the Hat
Ronnie Allen,
Alive and kicking, I see the nerves are also kicking in among you lot, this is understandable after your traumatic Double-Drop. We are used to it as we had to go through the Great Escape initiation. Keep flying the flag as we have, you never know.
P.S. I hope it was me you were referring to. L☺Ls.
I would like to say well done to Shrewsbury did what they came to do, thought we missed Ricketts leadership.
Sue, fully agree with you, on both accounts.
Sue, I think Danny Batth is outstanding, but you are right, we missed the Captain today..
brierley hill wolf
Too true sue I wrote on here a few days ago that I thought ricketts was the best signing we have made for years, trouble is you dont realise till they aint playing!!!!
Jack the Hat
brierley hill
How many Ricketts have wolves got?.
Harry Hooper
Have you noticed that the Wolves do not play well without their captain? In fact results prove it. Best get him back on the pitch.
No need for despondency - time and time again you have examples of top teams slipping up to teams from the bottom. It happens: Villa beating Chelsea today; Accrington beating Chesterfield just recently. In our case, we have not lost. This game was always a potential banana skin - but we will pick ourselves up and march on. Fair play to the Shrews - hope they can stay up. As for us, we're still top. UTW
This was always going to happen, the lads have been fantastic and have made us fans proud, The test is how we bounce back to winning ways, which I have no doubt we will do on Tuesday.Come on boys we are right behind you and KJ.
I can only agree with the comments above. Shrewsbury came with a battle plan, and stuck to it. Pity we didn't have 3/4 Kevin McDonald's today. The lad was excellent,he was a one man army most of the game, clearly m.o.t.m. I felt three / four of our player's looked a little leggy. But fair play to the Shrew's they we're in our faces all the match, and never stopped running and harrying us. And even had a couple of good chances to score. But I felt we we're snatching at to many of our half chances. Lets hope we resume normal service on Tuesday, we're, another Cup Final awaits us. UTW:
I hope Sam Ricketts, is fit for Tuesday, he was sorely misses today. UTW:
The Voice of Reason
Disappointed but it's not the end of the world. We've got countless opportunities to pick up points and we need to take them, starting on Tuesday at Crawley. Come on you Wolves.
I grew up watching Wolves one week and either Shrewsbury Town the next, with Wellington Town (Telford) in the mean time. My heart is with the Wolves....but a torn day considering Salop's position. I am reasonably happy, we will be ok Wolves.
chris h
Not even Real Zaragoza! Missed Ricketts as predicted we would by JIWAL the other day. Thought Henry was very unfortunate to get the hook. He had the beating of his full back, gives vital width and puts in good crosses. The type of service Clarke and Dicko should thive on. Also felt we needed another midfielder to drive into the box, and it was crying out for Edwards to be given a chance in the last quarter. All things come to an end, but we need to win on Tuesday bearing in mind Sheff Utd the following Saturday will be a tough game.
I also think the next two games will suit us more, as with Shrewsbury, they we're fighting to stay in this league. But Crawley, are safe, an therefore will come at us, which suits our style of play, we're we can hit them on the break, with our pace and power. As for the Sheffield Utd match, their also playing out of their skins, and are fighting for a play off place, as well as a Cup Final place. So that will be a far more attacking game. Lets hope Kevin McDonald plays like he did today. UTW:
Sir Billy Quiet
If we can pick up maximum points from our two games in hand then Orient will be a long way off with games running out .........
Still top and thats ten unbeaten so no need to panic even if we found 2nd bottom hard to brake down, we play better on the counter attack so Tuesday i expect us to hit back with a win, Shrewsbury came to spoil and were good at it and more teams will come and try the same, sometimes you need to go long to beat the "park the bus tactics" and a big target man is whats needed so if the loan market is still open and one is free to come in then i think we should go and get one as a back up.
Mistake..... Sorry!!! Wanted to say : it was tedious for a long time with the JOH story but was great to see everyone getting behind the boys recently. I'm a black country bloke through n through currently living in Austria but whenever I'm over I get to the Mol.... Todays draw was a good result to me. We broke some records, are top of the league with a fresh young force and are quite often looking comfortable...... Thats why I am glad of the draw! It's a reminder that although good, we are not invincible. Superman always has a knock, but gets back up and finishes em off!!! Get into em and finish on a flyer! UTW, Gibbo

First thing i'd like to say is well done Shrewsbury, not the best team around but came with a game plan and got a point, Yes we are unbeaten in 10 and that's great but we played the last 20 mins like we was 3-0 up and seeing the game out!. KJ got the tactics wrong and rightly changed the team.
We need to hold our nerve now in the run in and keep calm, win our games in hand over LO and we will be in a great position (Stating the bleeding obvious i know).
Disappointing performance today but just a blip. Dont think we would have scored in this game if we played to mifnight. Onward and upward
Very much a case of "after the Lord Mayor's show ...". Disappointing result and particularly poor first half performance by Wolves.
The first half complacency was in marked contrast to the commitment shown by Leyton Orient and Brentford in the earlier game.
No repeats please or it's the dreaded playoff lottery.
A well deserved point for Shrewsbury. We had an off day - made enough chances to have won easily but too many passes went astray, too many crosses over hit, and too many shots off target. Here's hoping for a win on Tuesday and Saturday - back to winning ways!!
Wolves dominated large chunks of this match, particularly in the second half, but rarely tested the Shrews goalkeeper. Far too many shots were high, wide and not too handsome. Sako was the most dangerous forward in a gold shirt, and yet he was the biggest culprit in the number of off target shots. A little more composure would have yielded a better outcome.
Both Ebanks-Landell and Henry might feel a little agrieved at being substituted as neither of them did much wrong, but Jackett needed to do something to change things. Doherty and Clarke did to some extent help enliven the game, and perhaps if Clarke had scored with his half chance, the headlines would have been all about a ten match winning run.
Although Shrewsbury rode their luck at times their defensive game plan worked, and you have give some credit to their manager and players. Whether it will work in future matches for them against other the top teams is debatable. But good luck to them, I hope they survive.
It would be easy to focus on the negatives of Saturday's game; no goals, two points dropped, etc. But the fact is that the unbeaten run continues, with another clean sheet, and we have edged another point clear of Orient with those two extra games in hand. Far better to remember that the ultimate purpose of this campaign is promotion, and consequently, this draw in some small way, will help us to achieve it. The glass is more than half full.
Lobo para siempre
It's a sign of the (good) times: Wolves 0 - Shrewsbury 0 and no-one has called for KJ's resignation, let alone Messrs. Morgan and Moxey.
Jack the Hat
Lobo para siempre,
Love it, great joke material.
You cannot win every game you play but it is a little disappointing not to take the three points. H
The positives are the team is still keeping clean sheets and we took a point. Orient lost and some of the others are faltering. If we and Brentford can open up a gap that will be fine.
Clarke is just getting back into the swing of things and we have a solid group of players to get through the mass of games .
Stay positive people!!! Good things come to people who have patience.
Come on you Wolves!!!
We Only Need One Half!
Your destiny is still in your own hands! the only ones who can stop you are yourselves.
Jack the Hat
One Half,
....... and Shrewsbury, mate.
WONOH: spot on mate, hopefully a slight blip yesterday, though Shrewsbury had a game plan, and we couldn't break it down, so fair play to them. They deserved their much needed point.
Farmer Ted
Shrewsbury proved their manager (and the twisted E&S headline) right. They came with a game plan and held a deep line totally negating Wolves pace. Thought Henry should have stayed on, particularly with his crosses for Dicko and Clarke. Strangely quiet second half performance from Matt Doherty we needed him in his normal rampaging wing back play.
Still it had to end sometime and I reckon we are better suited to away games with Sako, Dicko, Henry and Jacobs against home defences which naturally play a higher line.
Should Clarke start? Not for me. Bring him on if a change is necessary.
Agree Ted.
Their tactics and play were worked well for them.
I'm pleased with the result in one way, Graham Taylor, whom I respect enormously, went home happy.
Shame Wolves couldn't continue the winning run.
But good luck to Wolves for the remainder of the season.
Our radio commentators painted their usual precise picture of the action on the pitch as it happened.
"Sako receives the ball 10 yards into the Shrewsbury half, back to goal, passes it off to Golbourn who finds Jacob, Jacob passes to Sako who has made a great run down the left, crosses the ball, fast and low, oooh! the ball went right across the goal, a yard from the line, any touch would have sent it into the back of the net..........
Radio commentary is no substitute for being there. But it is good, and it's the best we expats have. We are no poorer supporters because we cannot be there in person.
Love Wolves, hate discrimination, hate intolerance to others opinions (Northern Wolf I forgive you), love the position Wolves are in now.
45 years with Wolves and ending, last blog, time is out.
Thai: just for the record it was Graham Turner, not Taylor........
Surely not your last blog, ThaiWolf?
Wednesbury wolves
Farmer ted, this is the first time I've ever agreed mate, you are totally spot on with your comments, Shrewsbury are fighting for there lives and came with a game plan, and a game plan that couldn't be broken, agree with Chris h aswell Edwards should've been given chance for last 30 mins, as for Clarke I know he's been out injured, but how lazy was he on Saturday!!!! Great to see the support on Saturday for graham turner, shame he never got to see that sort of support at the golden palace when he was in charge, except at wembley, 5-10,000 every wk, they were the good old days, when the true supporters stood by. Anyway let's hope for 3 points on Tuesday.
Something was missing. Needed to get at Shrewsbury from the off rather than the lethargic start we had. Tiredness? maybe or more likley we were sussed by Shrewsbury and we don't have a plan B. MacDonald was very quiet at first but came good as the game progressed. Dicko seemed way too isolated and there was little urgency around him to get things going. Henry and Jacobs were active and I was surpised Henry came off. I though Price had a cautious game and accepted sitting back a little too much.
Anyway, a point gained and more learning for this still developoing squad.
I would have thought a go with McAlinden would have been worthwhile as he has some pace and gets on the end of things, in the last half hour. Together with Dicko and Clarke would have given a very different threat up front to Shrewsbury.
More away matches than home left, where we should get more space in the attacking half, which our style should exploit more easily. Hopefully this result will jolt the squad and management to realising we need to be at our best and have alternatives going forward.
2 hard away matches coming, best of luck lads! UTW!
Black Country Wanderer
Yep,something missing alright,the fear factor
We thought turning up was all we had to do,that was my biggest fear all week
Lets hope this reminds our players that the job isnt finished yet,and to focus on every game not just the top teams
carl wolves
In a fairly lacklustre attacking display yesterday, a mention for the performance of McDonald. I thought he was absolutely immense yet again. He had to do a lot more driving forward from midfield than is usual for him rather than his normal playmaking from a little bit deeper. However, he did so briliantly and came the closest by far to opening them up. Not taking away from any of other players this season but he really looks the class act in our side for me, brilliant signing.
jack the hat one for you, went with my wba friend yesterday he had 2 tickets a good win for you but no doubt we will be playing you next yr, utw,o by the way dant see you there
Jack the Hat
Sorry to be late answering but I've only just cracked what "Dant"means,
Didn't, ay et.
.... as a Dingle you went all the way to Wales instead of Dingleton to watch Shrewsbury?. I believe you but a good many wouldn't. Oh!, you wouldn't see me there because you weren't, Nel. Sorry about getting your Nom de Gerre back to front as I'm only taking the urine just like you are trying to.
All the best.
wolves 4 ever
Jack the hat don't you make it easy to hate and despise W B A , your own rubbish aint doing that well ANELKA woke up did,nt he bet he could,nt wait to get away,most likely went by one of the buses you keep on about,m most likely be playing your lot next season.
Jack the Hat
Like I said .......
Correction - eleven.
When I met Vic in Shrewsbury library ,he said Wolves would win easy?
I was only asking , last week, where is Jack the Hat?
Because we were on that winning run he was nowhere to be found. Well here he is, sniffing after scraps we have left him. A draw instead of a win, which co-insides with a fortuitous win of your team at Swansea
So here he is, like a rat coming out of the darkness and being true to life Jack, we should have known you would reappear. Enjoy the scrap morsel we have left you. I hope and pray that you will join Cardiff and Sunderland in the big drop. See you there Jack but until then, may your fortunes continue to worsen but please Jack stay off our site.
Try to keep that poster of a 100 years ago, in mind and alter the wording just a little.
but as a rider Jack........................... WE DON'T
Jack the Hat
Now look, I give your club's management and players a good service as I give them a break from Dingle Hecklers as you have just proven. Maybe Jezz would like to send me a special award, something like a pie and a pint trophy in cut glass.
Gorra loff ay ya.
Ye Olde South Bank
Not the most enjoyable game, nor the most enjoyable result. However, if we'd taken a 0-0 draw at Brentford recently, and beaten the Shrews 3-0, we'd have been delighted. Well, I suppose we got those 4pts, but the other way around ;-)
It's as the old football saying goes: "If you can't win the game, make sure you don't lose it". Well, we couldn't and we didn't. so
Best to see it as yet another point chalked-up and an unbeaten run that stretches to 10 games. Disappointing for sure but, as we all know, you can't win 'em all. Least of all when the oppo parks a bus.
Forgive me if I moan again about our blog site. Is it just me, but why is it that you can post on here then leave the site, return later, see your post - only to return again later and NOT see your post any more?

Really it was a scenario written for Graham Taylor
Both his clubs battling on the day.
he actually said a draw would be the best result really for him, both sets of players obliged him
Kenny may not be happy mind, but they turned up and did not lie down, roll on Tuesday, make up for it. UTW

Where I stayed
The tour passed by the Tower of the Americas and Hemisfair Park - home of the 1968 World's Fair. The fair gave birth to tourism here - the third major industry after military and health care. The Texas Pavilion now houses a museum featuring 27 ethnic groups who settled in Texas and is now part of the University of Texas
The tour also passed by Market Square or El Mercado since it is full of Mexican wares. We made our way back downtown past the San Fernando Cathedral and Main Square. The cathedral was built in 1734 by settlers from the Canary Islands. Across the square was a courthouse that reminded me of the old Toronto City Hall - red stone and architecture - and people were being mass wed today - it being Valentine's Day. Before returning to the Alamo we passed by La Villita where we ended up eating lunch at the Cafe. We wandered through the Alamo first though.
What a beautiful day - sunny and bright blue sky. After lunch we took a boat tour which is quite beautiful and decided we had to celebrate with a margarita riverside in the sun.

Male or female?
One of the exciting things about expecting a child is wondering if the baby will be a boy or a girl. There are many superstitions about how one might influence or predict the outcome. But what really determines if a baby is male or female? We now know that the gender of a baby is determined by a special pair of chromosomes known as the sex chromosomes.
Sex-linked Inheritance
What determines if a baby is a male or female? Recall that you have 23 pairs of chromosomes—and one of those pairs is the sex chromosomes. Everyone has two sex chromosomes. Your sex chromosomes can be X or Y. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (XY).
If a baby inherits an X chromosome from the father and an X chromosome from the mother, what will be the child's sex?
The baby will have two X chromosomes, so it will be female. If the father's sperm carries the Y chromosome, the child will be male. Notice that a mother can only pass on an X chromosome, so the sex of the baby is determined by the father. The father has a 50 percent chance of passing on the Y or X chromosome, so there is a 50 percent chance that a child will be male, and there is a 50 percent chance a child will be female.
One special pattern of inheritance that doesn't fit Mendel's rules is sex-linked inheritance, referring to the inheritance of traits that are located on genes on the sex chromosomes. Since males and females do not have the same sex chromosomes, there will be differences between the sexes in how these sex-linked traits—traits linked to genes located on the sex chromosomes—are expressed.
One example of a sex-linked trait is red-green colorblindness. People with this type of colorblindness cannot tell the difference between red and green. They often see these colors as shades of brown (Figure below). Boys are much more likely to be colorblind than girls (Table below). This is because colorblindness is a sex-linked, recessive trait.
Boys only have one X chromosome, so if that chromosome carries the gene for colorblindness, they will be colorblind. As girls have two X chromosomes, a girl can have one X chromosome with the colorblind gene and one X chromosome with a normal gene for color vision. Since colorblindness is recessive, the dominant normal gene will mask the recessive colorblind gene. Females with one colorblindness allele and one normal allele are referred to as carriers. They carry the allele but do not express it.
How would a female become color-blind? She would have to inherit two genes for colorblindness, which is very unlikely. Many sex-linked traits are inherited in a recessive manner.
A person with red-green colorblindness would not be able to see the number.
(carrier female)
(normal female)
(colorblind male)
(normal male)
According to this Punnett square (Table above), the son of a woman who carries the colorblindness trait and a normal male has a 50% chance of being colorblind.
- carrier: Person who carries the recessive allele for a trait but does not express the trait.
- sex chromosomes: Chromosomes that determine the sex of the individual.
- sex-linked inheritance: Inheritance of traits that are encoded for in genes on the sex chromosomes.
- sex-linked trait: Trait linked to genes located on the sex chromosomes.
- Each individual has two sex chromosomes; females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (XY).
- Sex-linked traits are located on genes on the sex chromosomes.

Local Transport White Paper - So Farewell Cycling
We better get used to it. There are going to be a lot of goodbyes in the coming weeks and months, as public sector cuts kick in, coupled with the new government's declared end to the love-in - oops, I mean war - on motorists.
Last Thursday came the first cycling farewell in Darlington - the council's Cycle Forum. The Forum gave local people - cyclists or not - the chance to get involved in the local authority's ongoing plans for cycling. This became especially important once our status as one of the first Cycling Demonstration Towns was announced in 2005. The Council explained that they could no longer justify the expense of officers' time at the Forum, especially as attendance by the general public had dropped.
Next to go will be the coordinators of the Cycling Demonstration Towns initiative, Cycling England. Use the link whilst you still can! Sacrificed in the government's so-called bonfire of the quangos, Cycling England had a paltry £60m a year to spend on cycling, or £1 per UK citizen. This compares with about £25 per citizen in the cycling-friendly Netherlands.
But now that funding is set to drop even further, to something like 20p per person. The new government's Local Transport White Paper sets out plans for the demolition of direct national funding for cycling, and its replacement with a competitive pot of money for all sustainable transport - including buses. Meanwhile, cycling funding will be reduced to sustaining Bikeability, the cycle training initiative. Then, the Local Sustainable Transport Fund will have an impressive £560m to spend - but over 5 years, and for all sustainable travel options. An excellent analysis of the Local Transport White Paper can be found here, on the excellent Lo Fidelity Bicycle Club blog.
In the name of "localism", the coalition refuses to take responsibility for a coordinated policy to increase cycling numbers. Meanwhile it announces 24 new road schemes. As Transport Secretary Philip Hammond said, " I am pleased that spending on transport was treated as a priority for the Government in the Spending Review."
With local authority budgets set to be viciously squeezed, the next farewells are likely to be the various cycle-related jobs currently attached to the public sector - whether directly employed, or via organisations like Sustrans.
It's not openly stated, but the lack of any coherent policy to make cycling attractive - like developing the kind of infrastructure enjoyed in countries with high levels of cycling - is the other side of the Bikeability coin. As the Lo Fidelity Bicycle Club blog states: "you can train all the people you like to cycle, and even experience a slight rise in numbers, but if the roads look dangerous, then the numbers will fall again and the expense would have been in vain. There's a reason cycling is flatlining at between 3-4% and (the Local Transport White Paper) doesn't address it directly in any way".
British cyclists don't need cycle paths! What they need is good quality training that gives them the guts to get out on these busy roads and tussle with all the new motorised vahicles that are going to enjoy all these new roads! So come on chaps (assuming the continuing exclusion of chapesses)! British cyclists have balls!!

Who can take this government seriously any more?
24 more road schemes and Hammond happily says: "This Government sees transport as a key driver of growth nationally and in the regions."
So more spending on motorised traffic (which is nothing else than subsidies) and cutting back on sustainable cycling traffic (to finance the subsidies for cars!).
That is how we reduce CO2 emissions and bring Britain out of its financial misery?
This growth-concept is from the 60s...and a witness to very poor economics.

Let's not pussyfoot around the issue of the forum, it has to be said that the cause of the demise has to lay firmly upon us cyclists and for this reason we should all hang our heads in shame – and I include mine.

- wuppidoc said...
Well of course, all the absent cyclists can be blamed. But there is also some people's fears to stand up in public, to address the council directly, which you could do at the forum. It is still not understandable why they do not keep it going.
And by the way, it should be run by the cyclists and not the council. When I went the first time 6 years ago it was chaired by a cyclist. And the council workers were simply consulting, answering questions etc..
So why not set up a new forum run by cyclists? We can invite councillors and council workers.

You may remember I set a forum up some time ago "Darlington Cyclists forum" - several folks from the DCC joined, as did others, but failed to use it. Only Duncan and I posted.
I'll do it again if you wish, but please use it.

Sorry, I am not talking about an Internet Forum, but a Forum where people appear physically. Like the ex-Cycle Forum.
There are many people that do not like to use Internet Forums for whatever reason.
- 3:10 pm, January 26, 2011
- Brian Vigurs said...
There are many that do, and many that don't, but one advantage is they that use them do not need a physical presence. I for one find it nigh on impossible due to work load to get to a "physical" forum.
You may just attract the everyday fellow who is not particularly interested in campaigning, but still would like a voice, somewhere totally independent and with a wide audience. DCC, Council, Friends of the Earth, Schools the list is endless.
It literary takes 3 minutes to set up, just done it - http://darlingcyclistsforum.freeforums.org/
But it would need pushing, which is something I did not do last time around with gusto, relying to a large extent on those who actually had logged on, but in reality did not actually support the idea just wanted to keep an eye on it.
It did get read, the actual forum containing the "cycling forum minutes" and "News" umpteen times.
You may find that the next time the council wish to discuss a strong cycling issue it will be on a "Talking together" forum run by, guess, the council.
- 4:03 pm, January 26, 2011
- wuppidoc said...
Yes, of course it will be a "Talking together" forum, they have already announced that.
Internet forums are fine as long it is just about information.
But if you want to actually DO something you need to physically appear.
Or do you think that the overthrow of the regime in Tunesia was done on the Internet?
- 9:52 pm, January 26, 2011
- Brian Vigurs said...
"But if you want to actually DO something you need to physically appear."
But nobody does / did – that's why the cycle forum folded.
All I'm saying is the more arrows you have, the more effective will be your bow.
Tunisia ?????
If you had ever worked in Annaba close to the border you would know that Tunisia has nothing to do with forums / internet and just how lucky we are to live in Europe.
Forum will be deleted later today.
I do in all sincerity wish the DCC good luck in raising public awareness in 2011 and that more than 3 "physically" attend future (?) forums. The demise in attendance was falling in reality over a number of meetings and the writing was on the wall, but ignored and I include myself in this criticism.

Wow. Stan has tapped a new vein of angst. I'm impressed, and not necessarily immune.
As somewhat usual, all of my local friends are finding out that their lives are not what they set them out to be. Me too. We're all in our mid to late twenties/early thirties, and not kids anymore, although we all act like it. It seems like a totally common thing that my parents (and others in their generation, I assume) grew up too fast, and have regrets while myself and friends in my generation seem to avoid the trappings of growing up like the plague, and have found that to be not all together satisfactory either.
Onto other stuff--
Net::DHCPClient is in the middle of having documentation written. My over-reacting about the Security Office references in my last diary entry seems to be taken care of. Either the guy thought better of what he asked, or didn't mean what it sounded like he meant. A flurry if email seems to have solved the whole thing.
Does email actually make communication worse? I am aware of the irony of the way in which that question is posed...
