The crushing defeat of the FCC's Comcast order in the DC Circuit Court has advocates of strict net neutrality regulations scrambling to place their implicit regulatory framework on a solid legal footing. The case for legal jurisdiction seems so urgent that larger questions about the value and purpose of Internet regulation are in danger of being lost in the shuffle. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski warns that the FCC has no means of protecting consumers from harm until the legal questions are resolved. Amidst this background of regulatory panic, it's worthwhile to ask whether the case for sweeping Internet regulations is as strong as many seem to believe.
According to the Court, the FCC's theory of its jurisdiction over the consumer-facing edge of the Internet has been wrong all along. For all practical purposes, the Internet has been largely unregulated from end to end since it was privatized under the Clinton Administration. Despite a lack of regulation, the consumer Internet experience has steadily improved from the advent of broadband networks in the mid-90s to the present, with speeds increasing and prices falling or holding steady. The price per megabit of Internet access in the United States today is ten times less than it was in the early broadband era, and 400 times less than it was over dial-up. By almost any measure, this is dramatic progress.
Some advocates insist that the FCC must enact net neutrality regulations immediately because, in a nutshell, without such regulations, providers of Internet services will suddenly impose extortionate fees on consumers or blackout large swathes of the web. They frequently cite former Bell South CTO Bill Smith's famous 2006 speculation that his company might offer various kinds of expedited IP packet delivery services for a fee, despite the fact that this hasn't happened (and that it wouldn't necessarily be bad if it did.) Some advocates insist that other service providers harbor plans to deploy a variety of anti-consumer practices, simply because they can, leaving aside the effect that such practices would have on the competition for subscribers.
At the FCC's 2nd public hearing on the Comcast/BitTorrent controversy, professor Lawrence Lessig offered a somewhat lurid visual argument in favor of anti-discrimination rules. Lessig presented the Commission with an image of a tiger, literally red in tooth and claw, devouring its prey. It is in the nature of firms, Lessig said, to maximize profits by any means available, hence regulators must place restrictions on profit-maximizing behaviors that harm markets and reduce consumer welfare. As history is certainly rife with examples of monopolistic firms who exercised undue control over markets until their positions were undermined by the advance of technology or government action, Lessig's theory is plausible in the abstract.
The question that has to be answered, however, is why American broadband providers aren't already charging application service providers for access to their customers. The D. C. Circuit Court decision notwithstanding, the FCC has never regulated cable-based Internet services under the strict non-discrimination rules that apply to monopoly telephone services, and Comcast and its fellow cable operators have offered Internet services since the mid-90s. Internet service over DSL and fiber has shared the same regulatory status as cable since 2005, and we haven't seen a "degrade the customer experience" program there either. Is it possible that the current status quo of facilities-based competition is just competitive enough to deter extortionate practices all by itself? The evidence suggests that it might well be; after all, significant numbers of customers switch providers – as many as 30% per year by some estimates – and broadband providers spend enormous amounts in customer acquisition campaigns.
The traditional telcos, primarily AT & T and Verizon, invest heavily in fiber deployments to compete with cable, on the apparent assumption that the revenue that comes from retaining old customers while winning new ones is the primary key to success (Verizon has invested over $20 billion in FiOS alone.)
Comcast has meanwhile increased the speed of its basic tier of Internet service by 14 times over the past eight years while maintaining the same $42.95 monthly price.[i]The incremental profit gained by taxing applications, like Bing or any other one, is unlikely to compensate Comcast for the loss of customers appalled by the practice.
Adapting the Lessig analogy, the success of a competitive business depends on eating ones competitors, not ones customers. And yes, there was one example of a DSL provider blocking access to Vonage and other VoIP providers, the Madison River case in 2005, which the FCC settled by consent decree based on its authority to regulate competitive telephone services such as Vonage. That authority is still in place, and Madison River didn't offer access to its customers for a fee in any case, it simply blocked the Vonage service, full stop.
Reasonable people may differ on the nature of the regulatory framework that best suits the rapidly evolving Internet and the relevance of a body of law devised for the single-purpose networks of the past to the emerging multi-purpose networks of the future. Protections need to be in place to assure that Internet Service Providers behave rationally, that Internet users are well informed regarding the nature of the services they purchase, and that the underlying technologies that enable Internet service to be provided over cable, fiber, and wireless continue to improve. The discussion around this framework and the processes that effectuate it should be grounded in fact and free of hyperbole. In that regard, regulatory panic is not helpful.
[i] USA Today reported in 2002: "Comcast offers 1.5 megabits per second for $45 (http://www.usatoday.com/tech/webguide/2002-08-08-att-broadband_x.htm). Today Comcast offers a 22 megabit/second service for an introductory price of $19.95 and an ongoing price of $42.95.

By reading these identity theft stories and learning how people became victims is the best way to avoid the same fate. These stories will provide examples of how and why people were taken advantage of. In many instances, the victim knew the thief before the crime occurred. In other random cases, the best protection is knowledge and using common sense.
These identity theft articles show examples of how thieves get a hold of an identity and what they've done with it. The links on this page go to resources on the web that have nearly unlimited cases of identity theft.
Some articles concerning identity theft show that in a surprisingly high number of cases, the victim actually knew the perpetrator.
Click here to read about three stories about identity theft that happen very frequently. Phishing is the most popular way to steal an identity online. Traditional theft is how most identity thieves acquire the personal information required to actually take over an identity.
Unfortunately, identity theft horror stories are the stories that we hear about most often. The worst type of identity theft is when a child is involved. How hard would it be as an 18 year old to find out your credit and identity had been misused for years and you couldn't get a job or a credit card?
For more information on the ways your identity could be stolen, check out these identity theft scenarios. The common ways hackers steal identities online are listed here. Some identity theft stories where email theft, phishing, and spoofing were used.
These ID theft cases highlight the fact that identity theft could happen to anyone. However, if you stay vigilant, you can stop the theft from becoming a huge headache. These cases highlight the best prevention technique: using common sense.
Here are two cases of identity fraud that each started because of a simple theft. Acting swiftly in the case of your purse or wallet being stolen is key and can eliminate much of the potential losses.

"Coding is going to be an essential skill in the future."
Bridget Roper, a Stratford librarian, says coding is becoming more and more a part of everyday life, which is why she has organised 'An Hour of Code' sessions at the Stratford library these school holidays.
"Every time you enter a phone number into your mobile, that is coding. It is part of so many things we do and that will increase in the future. "
Bridget first got interested in coding when her ten-year-old son, Duncan, started teaching himself it at home. "I thought I had better find out more about it, and the more I found out the more interested I became."
Bridget says not only is coding a valuable skill to learn, it also teaches the importance of planning and process.
With coding, you have to do things in order, if you miss a line of code out, it won't work. So you have to plan, you have to understand what you are doing and why, and in what order things should happen.
Bridget found out about a worldwide programme called 'The Hour of Code'. A global movement, it reaches tens of millions of students in over 180 countries. Accessible to anyone who can access a computer at home, at the library or wherever, it gives participants a one hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics.
As the activities are self- guided, any one can give it a go, no experience necessary. The library is offering students the opportunity to sign up to the programme during the holidays. "We have computers here so you don't need to have a computer at home or any device. It is just one hour and it will give a fantastic introduction to the potential of coding in your future."
Bridget encourages people to sign up quickly as each hour session has four places on it to ensure everyone has access to a computer.
Sessions all take place at the Stratford library, currently located in the RSA Building on Miranda Street.
Times: Monday, April 18, Tuesday, April 19 and Thursday, April 21. Sessions run at 9.30-10.30am, 11am-noon and 2pm-3pm.

3 tips for maximizing clarity in B2B marketing copy.
Often I've mentioned that there are B2B marketers who believe that using big, complex wording in their B2B marketing copy makes the company look smart and sophisticated.
The best example I've ever seen of this B2B marketing copy approach was discovered and reported by Peter Helmer, which I discussed in a previous post "B2B marketing shalt not speak in strange tongues."
"We provide CMOs with best-of-breed, next-generation, scalable solutions that optimize revenue and enhance customer value. We act as a change agent empowering a paradigm shift using a value added synergistic approach that enables clients to take a deep dive."
The lack of clarity in this communication is pretty obvious. But B2B marketers often use messaging in their companies' Web sites, emails, direct mail, brochures and other sales materials that makes perfect sense to the B2B marketing team and company execs — but leaves the prospect clueless.
In the end, only the response from the market — or lack thereof — can tell B2B marketers for sure whether or not their messages resonate. But here are a few tips to help ensure that marketing copy has a chance of generating the desired response, before it's seen by the market.
- Talk to the lowest common denominator: B2B marketers can't control who sees their messaging. Don't assume the reader knows and understands anything about what is being offered. Simple language and a straightforward presentation of information have proven to be the most successful approach, even to a highly educated audience.
- Focus on the first impression: Read the copy one time after it's been drafted. Anything that feels awkward or unclear in that first read needs to be revised. B2B marketers should not read the copy 25 times and keep revising it. They should remember that the prospect will read it only once, so the first impression is the one that counts.
- Use an outside reviewer: Have someone who is outside of the company and not familiar with the product or service read the messaging and report back what they learned, or did not learn, from the copy.

Protected bike lanes (PBLs) are separated from traffic by a lane of parked cars, or a row of bollards, or a concrete curb. We are asking Mayoral candidates to update the City's 2012 Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan and to commit to building 40 in 4: forty miles of protected bike lanes in four years.
The additional safety features of PBLs create the conditions necessary for cycling across to flourish. In many other cities in the United States, PBLs have caused dramatic increases in cycling. New York City has installed PBLs along avenues using a lane of parked cars and simple pedestrian islands at wide intersections to shorten the crossing distance.
Since Indego bike share launched this year, biking has become more mainstream in Philadelphia. The addition of hundreds of novice cyclists on our streets daily increases the need to physically separate cyclists from automobiles. That's because PBLs clarify the rules of the road between cars, bikes, and pedestrians. It's not just cyclists who benefit from reduced stress levels and increased safety; drivers benefit from fewer car-car crashes on streets with PBLs.
A network of safe transportation infrastructure is critical not only for current cyclists but also as a means to encourage future cyclists to discover the many benefits of cycling. In some places, access to a city-wide network of PBLs can be truly transformative for families and individuals. Many Philadelphia neighborhoods are challenged by a mix of low household income, low car-ownership rates, long transit commute times, and poor public health. The bicycle - an affordable, fast, efficient, reliable mode of transportation - can be transformative in the lives of many Philadelphians who are not being adequately served by the City.

*BMG set up a series of websites dedicated to specific genres of music. These sites linked fans to the artist's websites, where they could download or purchase CD's. (Another innovative move from BMG)
* Through sites like CDNow and Amazon.com customers had the option of having CD's or cassettes mailed to them. Consumers may not want to "deal" with downloading music from the net. They may just stick with what they have. Many sites had illegal downloads, so the conventional consumer may not want to bother with this new type of technology.
* Although BMG was the first company to create branded websites for specific music genres, they only focused on promotional aspects here, rather than focusing on selling music and in turn making money.
* The innovativeness and newness of the digital era could spark a surge of consumer interest in the music industry. For instance, the CD had a big impact on industry revenue; owners of tapes simply replaced their collections with CD's.
* ;BMG is arguably the leader in the music industry, and consequently has the influence to take its existing customers with them into the digital mp3 era.
* BMG had close relationships with all the players involved in setting tech standards for downloadable music. This could give BMG the heads up on newest technology, and an advantage for market entry.
* If BMG begins to sell music on the internet, they can reduce their costs greatly by doing away with distribution and manufacturing expenses.
* -In 1929 the new technology of radio posed a serious threat to the music industry. Could a similar event take place with Digital music, where BMG loses a lot of money due to a decrease in CD and cassette sales?
* -Time Warner had one of the most advanced cable systems in the US. They were experimenting with services such as video on demand and HD TV so the possibility of digital music was definitely there for TW, and they had the internet resources to distribute it too.
* -Would conventional music buyers want to go through the "hassle" of joining a website, installing a media player, and then buying additional software to play the music at their convenience?
* -With a 56K modem (one that many still used 7 years ago), a song took roughly 7 minutes to download. Ten songs can take 70 minutes, and that is not appealing or convincing enough for conventional consumers to switch over to mp3's usage.
* -Sony's Kiosks in retail music stores posed a threat for BMG. These kiosks allowed customers to choose from a variety of over 4,000 songs, and create their own CD within 15 minutes.
Attacking Piracy at the Source- the CD's
In order to attack piracy, record labels must start at the source. Nearly all of the music traded on the Internet originally comes from CDs, which can be easily copied, or "ripped," onto any computer as MP3 digital audio files. Most analysts point to CDs as the biggest hole in the music industry's strategy for aiding online piracy. The recording industry wants to make it harder for consumers to directly copy CDs, but it faces enormous hurdles. First, any barriers to copying must be "backwards compatible"–meaning the new technologies would have to work on old CD players that don't screen for pirated material, and vice versa.
Eventually, the group "SDMI" was formed, consisting of all the major players involved in setting the technological standards for downloading music.(AT&T, Microsoft, Liquid Audio, IBM, etc) SDMI's efforts have focused on installing digital "watermarks" on CD tracks that would enable copyright holders to trace illegal copies and to create devices that would refuse to play copied tracks. In its first phase, SDMI selected a watermark system created by Verance Technologies as the global standard.
Future record releases for BMG- Copy Management.
It is the Record label's responsibility to protect the work of their artists. Copy management technology is one of several responses to illegal file sharing and mass copying, which has had a detrimental effect on the music industry (unit shipments have fallen 26% from 1.16 billion units in 1999 to 860 million units last year).
There are a few features that are new to this type of technology:
Device playability- These discs play just like an enhanced CD. Certain products recently tested had playability issues with DVD players, car stereos and game consoles, yet these discs play on nearly all DVD players, car stereos, etc. Anywhere an enhanced CD will play, these discs will play.
Mac playability – The discs can now be played on a Mac like any other CD.
Voluntary Collective Licensing- Music Industry and the Internet
Many Record Labels have spent countless amounts of time evaluating alternatives that would pay artists while making file sharing legal. One solution that has emerged as the favorite is voluntary collective licensing. The concept is simple: the music industry forms a collecting society which then offers file-sharing music fans the opportunity to "get legit" in exchange for a reasonable regular payment, for example $5 per month.
So long as they pay, the fans are free to keep doing what they are going to do anyway–share the music they love using whatever software they like on whatever computer platform they prefer–without fear of lawsuits. The money collected gets divided among rights-holders based on the popularity of their music. In exchange, file-sharing music fans would be free to download whatever they like using whatever software works best for them. The more people share, the more money goes to rights-holders.

· Calculation of Usage incentive is as follows:
Usage Fee = $ (Rate Card for that workload for that SKU) x # (active users) x 10% (usage lever rate)
**Please note that 10% Usage Lever Rate is effective in FY16 and can be subject for change in the next fiscal years. **
· The incentive percentage rates are constant in a given Fiscal Year and do not change or increase regardless of how many seats a partner has sold to their customers.

International Handbook of Research on Indigenous Entrepreneurship
Edited by Léo-Paul Dana and Robert B. Anderson
Chapter 39: Different Strokes for Different Folks: Stimulating Entreperenurship in Regional Communities
Tim Mazzarol
39 Different strokes for different folks: stimulating entrepreneurship in regional communities Tim Mazzarol Introduction This study examines the perceptions of different communities toward a set of triggers and barriers to the creation of a new business venture. Drawing on a sample of 253 respondents, the perceptions of six different sub-populations were examined, including those who had already launched a business venture (owner–managers) and those who had not (nascent entrepreneurs); persons located in urban and rural areas; and indigenous and non-indigenous communities. Findings suggest significant differences exist between these communities in how they perceive the importance of various triggers and barriers. These findings are discussed in the context of regional economic development with recommendations for future policy by government and non-government agencies seeking to generate more new venture start-ups Entrepreneurship in regional communities Uneven distribution of wealth and opportunity is a problem facing governments throughout the world, with economic and social divisions emerging within countries as human and financial capital flow unevenly from one region to the next. Sustainable economic development within regional economies requires growth in both employment and per capita incomes.1 However, for many regional economies, the decline of traditional industries leads to steady erosion in the employment base and a commensurate fall in per capita incomes. Where the establishment of a few large employing firms or government-owned enterprises could not secure such employment and income growth, the only alternative is self-employment or entrepreneurship in the form of new venture creation.2 Research...

"With Cyber Monday, the tablet wars kicked into full swing. Which one is the best? Is it the iPad? The Kindle? Who has the best technology? The best distribution? Who's the best overall? For most people, "being the best" is what competition is all about. So General Motors CEO Dan Akerson was simply echoing popular sentiment when, on the day the new GM went public, he threw down the gauntlet: "May the best car win!" he told reporters. The phrase reflects an underlying belief about the nature of competition that feels so intuitively correct that it is almost never examined or questioned."

Happy 150th Birthday, Nebraska
On March 1, 1867, Nebraska was officially granted statehood. Today, we celebrate the past 150 years.
Dear Nebraska,
Today you turn 150 years old. You've come a long way.
The Pawnee, Sioux, Ponca, and Oto called you home. They gave you your name long before you even thought about being a state.
For hundreds of years, you've welcomed countless Sandhill cranes to the Platte River basin on their journey to northern feeding grounds.
Your open spaces and wide rivers brought pioneers west on the Oregon Trail. Chimney Rock called them onward to explore western territories.
My great-great-grandparents came from Germany in search of new opportunities, and made you their home. Willa Cather told the immigrants' story. She told your story.
Trains crossed your land, carrying people and goods to their destinations. And during times of war, your people met every train carrying servicemen at the North Platte Canteen, providing food and a moment's rest for those leaving to fight on the front lines.
Your capitol building stands tall as a reminder of your one-of-a-kind state government system. One house for all.
Today, from east to west, from north to south, your history lives on as we look to the future.
Your schools strive to give students a great start in life. Your colleges and universities strive to develop future leaders and innovators.
Miles of sunflowers fill the gentle rolling Sandhills. Sunsets turn the horizon orange, with windmills, old barns, and haystacks as sentinels watching over the land.
On Friday nights, small towns gather at football fields to cheer for their schools. And on Saturdays, red-clad fans from all corners of the state gather in Memorial Stadium to cheer for the Huskers. United for one team.
You roll out the red carpet for college baseball every summer. Fans from across the country gather to share in your hospitality at the College World Series.
Your lakes, state parks, and national monuments teach us to respect the land and our past.
Some call you a flyover state. Some say you're boring. Some only pass through on their way to other places.
But don't listen to them.
You might not have theme parks, mountains, or white sand beaches. What you do have is worth more.
You have a history filled with different cultures. You have been home to entrepreneurs, athletes, astronauts, authors, musicians, doctors, farmers, and teachers. You have served your country when called upon. You provide food to the world. With large cities and small towns, you are the best of both worlds.
Now go blow out those 150 candles, and enjoy some cake.
For more information on the sights and events in Nebraska, visit the Nebraska Tourism website.

Pareidolia: Seeing Faces in Unusual Places. How about a comet? Do you see the face in this photo of Comet C-G? All joking aside, this is an unprecedented close view of a comet.
The NY Times says, "After 10 years and a journey of four billion miles, the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft arrived at its destination on Wednesday, August 6, 2014, for the first extended, close examination of a comet.
Over the coming months, Rosetta and its comet, called C-G for short, will plunge together toward the sun.
On November 12, a small 220-pound lander allegedly left the spacecraft and set down on the comet – the first time a spacecraft landed on a comet.
The European Space Agency released the first image taken by a craft from the surface of the comet. Gautam Naik explains the significance of the findings and photos. Photo: ESA
The comet and its shadowing spacecraft are more than 330 million miles from the sun (more than three times as far out as Earth), traveling at 35,000 miles per hour. With the final firing of the thruster, Rosetta was a mere 60 miles from the comet's surface.
Launched in March 2004, Rosetta — a boxy structure roughly nine by seven feet, powered by two 47-foot-long solar panels — followed a circuitous route through the solar system, using flybys of the Earth and Mars to fling itself into the same orbital path as Comet C-G…
C-G is one of the nearer comets: Its orbit extends not far beyond Jupiter. Scientists should now be able to get a better idea of its composition by measuring temperatures at its surface and a few inches below, and in the gases streaming off the comet, along with the weight of water molecules streaming off it.
Much of the work in the next three months is to find a safe place for the lander, Philae, to set down. Once released from Rosetta, the lander will be pulled down by the comet's gravity and will strike its surface at a couple of miles per hour, like someone walking into a wall. "It's hurting, but it doesn't kill you," said Stephan Ulamec, head of the consortium that built the lander."
Dozens of tiny, sungrazing comets are expected to return to tightly orbit the Sun in 2014 or end their lives in its corona. These comets will probably only be observable from space observatories like SOHO and LASCO. The general public can comb through movies and images captured by SOHO, attempting to discover comets in 2014.
There is currently a 1 and 120,000 chance that Comet Siding Spring (C/2013 A1) will hit Mars on October 19, 2014. Based on Leonid Elenin's recent observations, Comet Siding Spring will pass 0.000276 AU (41,300 km, 25,700 miles) from the surface of Mars. For comparison, the average distance between the Earth and Moon is .00257 AU (384,400 km, 238,900 miles). On October 27, 2060 Comet Finlay will pass 0.048 AU from Earth (JPL, 2014). That's the equivalent of 4,500,000 miles or 7,200,000 kilometers. For reference, the average distance between Earth and the Moon is 0.002 AU.

"To have a world-class convention centre offering world-class service has been a great boost to business tourism, sport and entertainment in Tropical North Queensland."
Cairns Mayor, Councillor Bob Manning commented, "In the past 20 years, the Cairns Convention Centre has grown in stature and importance to become one of our city's most vital assets. Whether it be for sporting and entertainment events, industry expos or international business conferences, the Centre continues to attract large-scale events to our city and is globally recognised as a benchmark performer."
Compliments for the Cairns Convention Centre also came from within the business events industry with Mike Pickford, Executive Director of ASN Events congratulating the team and saying, "We have had the pleasure of working with them many times since opening and they have consistently delivered excellent, responsive and personalised care for our conferences. Nothing has ever been too much trouble, whether for events that have booked out Cairns or smaller ones of only a couple of hundred delegates. We congratulate them on their 20th anniversary and look forward to many more meetings in the Cairns Convention Centre."

i love that you pointed out to lemondrop that she might be experiencing things differently yoxi. I explain it to monoPVCG that I have the same amount of love for him as I do for my husband. he just expanded my heart by allowing me to love him so much... kind of like the Grinch that stole Christmas. The more I love people and they allow me to show them love the more I have to give... my heart get bigger and bigger. I am more and more happy and feel as if I am spreading it outward and inviting it back. I have always been like that and when I haven't been I am depressed and feel vulnerable and grumpy. This is definitely the way for me.
As for Smilinlol I think that is really the bottom line... choice. Denying someone the choice and allowing choice to be denied to you is perhaps a recipe for disaster.
I'd love to know how both of you work it out smilinlol and lemondrop. Please come back and tell us some time? I think it so important to learn from one another and am so interested in how you manage.... of course part of it is that I have genuine concern for your well being also.

text: difficult child sailed through Christmas quite happily, or so I thought. She wasn't manic. She was excited about the gifts she bought and happy and grateful for what she recieved. She got back together with her boyfriend a few months ago after a couple month hiatus during which time she declared she was a lesbian, had two long distance "relationships" with girls she'd never met, cut off all her hair (but managed to do an amazingly good job of it), began dressing very butch, and then *surprise!* returned to the heterosexual world and began to tell people she was getting married. So. She goes with him Weds to see Trans Siberian Orchestra. We were in the middle of a blizzard and they decided to do the responsbile thing and get a hotel room downtown. I know all of this had to cost a fortune, but I didn't ask any questions. All I cared about was her safety and i kept my mouth shut. She texted me throughout the night raving about the concert and rolled in around noon, raving more about the concert. She said she was going to take a 90 minute nap, and slept for about four hours. It was her day off, so I said nothing. She got up just as I was leaving the house. I returned 2 hours later to find the house dark and her in bed. Odd. I got up this morning around 7:00 to find a note. "J and I broke up last night. If I'm not up by noon, wake me". Huh? They broke up between mindnight and 7:00 a.m.? I'm a light sleeper, so I know she didn't leave and he wasn't here. Everything was peachy at noon yesterday. I think, at least. She seemed serene - not manic happy (which isn't, as we all know, happy at all). Now I don't care that they broke up. He's an nice kid and all, but they saw each other only about once or maybe twice a week. They'd only met last May, so I'm thinking this is hardly marriage-worthy. She was smart enough to keep me in the dark about the marraige talk and her forays into the lesbian world. That info was gleaned second hand, but reliably. She was scheduled to work this morning at 8:00a.m I sure hope she does not jeapordize her job over this dude. I also hope we aren't headed onto the bi-polar roller coaster. Maybe, now, she'll go on medications... Sigh. Dash

why did you Humanitarian Warriors supply, train, fund, and promote OBL killers instead of others ?
why do you refuse to accept that your decade long support of radical Mujhadeen in Europe helped contribute to the deaths of 6,000 Americans ?

Anyone recommend some whisky options in the UK in the £20-30 bottle range? Would be to drink neat, not mixing. I've been mostly liking Jim Beam white label, didn't really like Glen Fedich as much. I've heard of Crown Royal (which apparently though isn't worth the money) and Woodford Reserve, but wondered if anyone else has any ideas. Going through some fairly bad times at the moment so I've been drinking quite a lot lately, might be at least worthwhile picking a different poison as they say.
