About Lord Huron
Lord Huron 'wide open and ambitious' (Updated December 11, 2012)
For the most dedicated artist, a career can be sparked in the oddest of places or in the strangest of ways. For Michigan native Ben Schneider, a solo project started in his bedroom has morphed into the musical personality known as Lord Huron.
Schneider, who spent months in Los Angeles writing songs and designing artwork, wasn't exactly sure where his ideas were headed. It was a week on the shores of Lake Huron that inspired Schneider to record at least three of the tunes that would comprise a first EP called "Into the Sun." He posted the project online immediately, and thanks to strong response put a band together upon his return to L.A. The result was Lord Huron's second EP, "Pop & Hiss." Critics praised the Caribbean-influenced percussion, lush acoustic guitars and Midwestern-accented harmonies, gaining Lord Huron an even larger following.
Lord Huron's first official music video, for the single "The Stranger," was released in January 2011. The band then toured heavily throughout the year, including performances at South by Southwest, Outside Lands and Lollapalooza. Eventually, they signed with independent label, IAMSOUND Records, in January 2012. Their first full-length album, "Lonesome Dreams," was released eight months later, with NPR (National Public Radio) comparing it the sound of two radio stations drifting together to create a mashup. The critic also described the project as, 'wide-open and ambitious, but also giddy and unpredictable.'
Lord Huron recently wrapped a fall tour, and will tour Europe in early 2013. Dates are currently scheduled in London, Hamburg, Brussels, Berlin and several other locations.

SILK PAU-d'rs
Silk Powder is obtained from the secretion of silkworms. It is used primarily in skin care products to improve humectancy and oil absorption.
Soybean Oil is one of the most important oils produced today. It contains about 60% polyunsaturated fatty acids and is a good source of Vitamin E, used frequently in soaps and bath oils. The oil obtained by soybeans is extracted, consisting of emollient properties such as oleic, linolenic and saturated acids. Ancient traditions cultivated soybeans for its protein, oil, and lecithin content – believed to be a superior moisturizing agent that helps soften skin.

Hope this helps May 23, 2012
If you brush hair later on in the day, will not stay "damp" looking but won'tl look dried out either
A good product May 23, 2012
What I love about the MMP is that i keeps the shape of my hair even after I run my hand through it. So the hold is now light, which is perfect if you're going for the casual-I-don't-care-but-yeah-I-kinda-do look.
MMP does give the hair plenty of shine... without looking greasy. Here's something neat: no need to apply more if you want to "re-store" the sheen, just wet your hand and run through your hair.
I've been going to my Saks counter for this product for the past three months, and it's been backordered. Kiehl's? What gives? I need this product. Pronto! Apr 29, 2013
You don't need much product and you can shape your hair to your liking. Your look can be varied depending on how wet or dry your hair is when you apply the product.
I think you will like this product. Apr 19, 2013
Shines because of the sunflower oil but not a greasy look Apr 19, 2013
PS - I don't have much hair, but the product works great for me.
"The amount of time you spend on your hair is inversely proportional to the amount of hair you have." Aug 28, 2012
Not sure about petroleum; you could check the ingredient list.
I love this product. It maintains hold, but doesn't make your hair sticky or unnatural feeling. Once it sets, you can run your fingers through your hair or re-apply. Its a good product. Jun 28, 2012
Thank you,
Vicki Apr 9, 2013
Try it, you can't go wrong. Apr 12, 2013
Think I might give it a try.
Thanks again,
Vicki Apr 13, 2013
I am a guy, not sure if that makes a big difference to ya. But, I have long(er) hair and it's VERY fine. I tried this stuff and didn't like the consistency, for me it definitely made things feel a little greasy.
However, I use the Creme with Silk Groom from Kiehl's after a quick blow dry while my hair's still damp. This gives just the right volume and a good base to add a much smaller amount of another holding product. Apr 12, 2013
Yes, I really want volume or something to hold a set. I will consider the Creme with Silk Groom.
Thanks again,
Vicki Apr 13, 2013

The City Council of Leister (that's in the U.K. for the geographically challenged), in an effort to curb teen pregnancy has produced and posted a viral video.
The spot ends with,"Not what you expected?… Being a teenage parent might not be either."
I think this would have a bit more credibility if it didn't take place on a school yard during what seems to be recess. You never hear about little Susie having her baby on the practice field between third period Geometry and Spanish. She's never surrounded by fellow students jeering and filming with their phones.
Granted, most of the high school students I encounter on my daily commute are little shits with the manner and hygiene of wildebeests. Still I find it hard to believe that with a fellow student giving birth on the field, that the best plan they could concoct is to have another student (hopefully the one who aced Biology) deliver the baby and the rest gather around to watch.
They're young, not completely stupid. You don't see anyone calling a teacher, or God forbid an ambulance. My big concern from this video isn't teen pregnancy– its their inability to cope in a crisis. I, personally, wouldn't want any of these little shits changing my diaper and feeding me when I'm old and feeble much less trust them with taking care of an infant.
2 Responses to "Kids, Don't Try This At School"
You obviously live in America – English kids are every bit as depraved, selfish and lacking in common decency as the little shits portrayed in the video and an incident like this wouldn't surprise anyone in the UK. Especially in a craphole like Leicester (note spelling, for the typgraphically challenged). The Allies have a lot to answer for…
Yes, typOgraphically. Ironic, not.

Industry analysts are already predicting that Apple's iPhone 5, widely expected to be unveiled on Wednesday, will be the best-selling smartphone of all time. Each new iPhone has outsold the previous version, and the iconic device has been the top-selling mobile phone since its 2007 debut.
That raises the question: How much longer can Apple keep this up? Will there be an iPhone 10?
The last phone to have a prolonged run at the top was the Motorola Razr, which outpaced its competitors for three straight years -- until the flip phone was blindsided by the much more powerful iPhone. The iPhone's five-year run as the top-selling phone is unprecedented.
"Logic would dictate that at some point in time another company would come along and take over the mantle of technology leadership," said Jagdish Rebello, director of communications research at IHS iSuppli.
Maybe -- but don't hold your breath. Phones built around Google's Android platform collectively outsell the iPhone, but that market is fragmented across many different manufactures and models. Nothing on the horizon looks likely to unseat Apple's iPhone as the top-selling device. Only Samsung's Galaxy S III has come remotely close, selling 20 million devices worldwide since May, according to Samsung.
That sounds impressive -- until it's compared with iPhone estimates. The industry's median prediction is that Apple will sell 45 million iPhone 5 units in the first three months after it hits store shelves.
The current chaos in the smartphone market makes it even harder for an Apple rival to snatch away the crown. While Apple cruises along, almost all would-be challengers are either in the middle of a major transition -- that's Nokia, Motorola, and Research In Motion -- or mired in a damaging legal battle, like Samsung.
Even price, Apple's longtime Achilles heel, is becoming less of an issue. The iPhone is available through a growing number of lower-cost carriers, and older iPhones are likely to get a substantial price cut once the iPhone 5 is released. The still-popular iPhone 4 could even be offered for free with a new contract, if Apple keeps its current pricing model intact. (Apple's two-generations-old iPhone 3GS comes free from AT&T, the only carrier that offered it, for customers who don't want to shell out for a newer model.)
"There's a brightly lit path for Apple to continue to dominate," said Ramon Llamas, analyst at IDC.
Apple is expected to ship 66% of the total smartphones sold for AT&T, Verizon and Sprint after the iPhone 5 launch, up from 45% last year, according to Macquarie Securities research. The pipeline is primed: More smartphone shoppers say they plan to buy an iPhone than an Android phone, according to Yankee Group. It's the first time in several years Apple has topped Android in that survey.

From CQ Researcher: The Euro Crisis Should the U.S. help ease Europe's economic woes? Amid Europe's continuing economic troubles, riots erupted in several nations last month, notably Spain and Greece, as citizens protested radical government efforts to cut spending and raise taxes. Rising debt has damaged the euro currency and pushed many nations into deep recession, high unemployment and widespread poverty. Some experts say Europe's economic woes are holding back economic recovery in the United States by undermining consumer confidence, exports and investments and that the U.S. government should do more to help Europe fix its problems. • Is the euro crisis slowing the U.S. recovery? • Would a euro collapse be as bad as doomsayers predict? • Should the United States provide more aid to help Europe?

This eJournal has been compiled as co-operation between two schools: St Peter's School from Panchgani, India and Pohjankartano Lower Secondary School from Oulu, Finland. St Peter's is a renowned boys' boarding school, which was founded in the year 1904. This century old residential school upholds traditional Indian values and culture along with methodical and graded learning so as to cultivate different yet convergent ways of thinking. At St. Peter's students begin school from Grade III (age 8 years) and finish high school at Grade X (age 15). They follow the Indian Council for Secondary Education (ICSE) curriculum with English as the medium of instruction. For more information about the school please visit the website: http://www.st.peterspanchgani.org/.
Pohjankartano School follows the general Finnish curriculum for lower secondary schools and it has three special characteristics: half of the classes in grades 7-9 are music classes, we are one of the few schools in the city of Oulu that offer teaching in the optional grade 10 and we are one of the schools in the Smart School project. The idea of the Smart School project (also known as the School of the Future project) is to develop teaching methods for the 21st century. For our school this has meant among others enhancing the sense of community at our school, developing interdisciplinary projects for all the students in the grades 7-9 and also looking for ways to make the best use of the many different appliances and computers programmes we got in 2009 as part of our Innoaula (= innovative hall) project. More about Pohjankartano at http://www.edu.ouka.fi/koulut/index.cfm?d=47.
The co-operation started in autumn 2006 when Helena Law from Porvoo visited St Peter's. After that a network of Finnindia schools was created and Pohjankartano School joined in. At the beginning both schools were learning how to use the eJournal –platform, which has been the main form of co-operation. It has been very useful in many ways: we have used the ivocalize –environment to have online meetings with both the Indian and Finnish teachers, the students have written articles about different themes and of course they too have been able to meet each other online in ivocalize conferences. They have been very happy about the opportunities to chat and talk with each other and the video connection has made it possible for them to see each other as well. As practice St Peter's wrote an article about their eco-trip and a group of Finnish students wrote texts about our school, the city of Oulu and some hobbies, two groups presented Finnish culture and one group Finland. These themes suited us very well because we would have done most of them anyway, now we just wrote eJournal articles instead of making posters, Word documents or PowerPoint presentations.
In the school year 2007-2008 the Finnish National Board of Education gave the Finnish network a grant which made it possible for seven teachers to go to India and visit some schools in Panchgani and Mumbai. We were welcomed with Indian hospitality and got to know St Peter's very well, as we gave lessons together with their teachers. We were all female so we were given the name "Seven Sisters" as opposed to one of the classics in Finnish literature, "The Seven Brothers". I, Taina Salmivaara from Pohjankartano School was part of the delegation. On the right there is a picture of us with Mr Peter Patrao in the middle.
During the visit many projects were planned, one of them was the project between St Peter's and Pohjankartano. We agreed that the general themes would be ecology and sustainable development, and of course getting to know one another. In 2007-2008 we focused on the ecological footprint. At first the students from the project groups introduced themselves. We soon noticed that there was a cultural difference: in India the boys presented themselves with full names and pictures in an eJournal article whereas we Finns cannot publish our students' full names and pictures on the internet. After that the students were divided into groups and they wrote articles presenting their natural surroundings in order to make each other familiar with what kind of place they live in and also to help understand what some of the factors behind the different results in the ecological footprint test are. After that the students took the test, compared the results and the Finnish students wrote an article about what makes the Finnish ecological footprints what they are. At Pohjankartano we carried out the work as an interdisciplinary project involving English, biology and geography and it was part the 9th graders' Smart School project, Energy and Ecology.
In spring 2008 we got guests from India. At first two teachers, Christopher Gaynor and Prasanna Kelkar, visited our school as part of the Indian delegation of teachers and headmasters who came to visit the schools in the India-network in Finland. Christopher Gaynor and Prasanna Kelkar visited different classes and teachers and strengthened the bond between the two schools. We also used some of the time to plan a project for the school year 2008-2009. In May 2008 three boys from St Peter's came to visit two schools in Porvoo and they also came to Pohjankartano for a week. They were warmly welcomed and their visit furthered mutual understanding and knowledge of each other, the two cultures and countries.
In 2008-2009 the theme of the project was once again sustainable development, this time the social aspect of it. And again, we at Pohjankartano carried it out as an interdisciplinary one, this time involving English, history and social studies as well as geography. The idea was to have the students study and write articles about what certain aspects of social life were like 100 years ago and what they are like now. The purpose of this was not only to learn from history but also to see how much things have changed in 100 years. The aspects of social life were population and communication, family, housing, health care, getting around, economy and education, religion and manners. The second task was to write another article looking into the future: what did they think life would be like in 50 year's time, i.e. when they are about 65 and perhaps retiring?
In May 2009 the Finnish schools were once again happy to receive guests from India. There was a meeting in Porvoo, where also two teachers from Pohjankartano attended, Taina Salmivaara and Marika Id. We planned the 2009-2010 project with Mathew Skariah. Again the theme was ecology, which both suits well the 9th grade curriculum in several subjects and can be carried out as part of the 9th graders' Energy and Ecology project. The idea was this time to have a practical point of view, so we agreed on two articles: in the first one the students described their normal school days and in the second one they discussed the ecological choices they make during the day. And again the project was cross-curricular involving biology, geography and English: the studentslearned the facts in the biology and geography lessons and in the English lessons they wrote the articles in English. The students also got very valuable background information in the physics lessons, where the different forms of energy were discussed in detail.
All in all this co-operation has been successful and the students have liked doing the projects. Most of all they have looked forward to the online conferences, where they can meet each other via modern technology. Of course online conferences, emails and commenting each other's articles is not the same as meeting in person, but it is the next best thing. And it is also democratic: everybody in the class can participate in this regardless of how wealthy the parents are - in students visiting one another the parents often have to pay at least part of the trip. EJournal is also very flexible: you are writing articles in a journal and both schools don't necessarily have to write on exactly the same theme or the same number of articles. The students at St Peter's wrote their articles in their mother tongue or at least in a language they know very well whereas the Finnish students wrote theirs in a foreign language. Again, this was no problem, and both groups of students learned basic writing skills such as taking the reader into consideration. In Finland it is also possible to do part of the project in English and part in Finnish. It is important to integrate international work in the curriculum – in that way it is easier to find the time. And carrying out the project in an interdisciplinary way turned out to be a very good idea: again, it makes finding the time easier and it improves the quality of learning, because you look at the subject from different points of view and get a more comprehensive picture. The eJournal project between St Peter's and Pohjankartano is one example of what interdisciplinary work can be like in an international framework.

Police said 23-year-old Alex Beard violated policies related to responding to calls and personal conduct. Beard did not have his lights or siren on when the crash occurred, police said.
Beard was responding to a call in his marked police car on Aug. 26 when he struck the passenger side of a 1996 Mercury Mystique that was trying to turn left. Killed were 54-year-old Delores Epps and 13-year-old Mackala Epps. Two other people were injured.
The mother and daughter were visiting from Senatobia, Miss., for a relative's 50th birthday party.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation conducted the review of the crash and the results have been turned over to the district attorney's office.
Beard had been with the department since October 2010.

10 Pro Gay Companies To Go And Spend All Your Money With
Want to make sure the money you're spending on your clothes, gadgets and travel is going towards companies that support you and the LGBT community? These ten companies have all shown their support for equal rights for all via political activism, fund-raising and equal rights and benefits for same sex partners of their employees.
1. Levi's
Big supporters of the No to Prop 8 campaign in California, Levi's have continued their backing of the LGBT community by joining the White Knot movement earlier this year and tying white ribbons to their mannequins in continued support of gay marriage. The company is also as supportive of it's LGBt workforce being the first Fortune 500 company to offer unmarried domestic partners health benefits.
2. American Apparel
Another Californian company putting it's support behind the repeal of Proposition 8, American Apparel went very public with it's support producing a Legalize Gay T-shirt in 2008 for protestors. Overwhelmed by the response of the tee American Apparel went on to sell it in stores and online even though they were met with protests for doing so. Like Levi's the guys at American Apparel have also continued with their support of the LGBT community offering two new gay rights tees as part of their new library range.
3. Nike
Going on record in support of Referendum 71 in Washington, Nike have made a very clear statement that they are in support of equal rights for all. In the past they have also shown their willingness to listen to and support the views of the LGBT community by shelving an advertising campaign after there were complaints that it was sending out anti-gay messages.
4. Microsoft
Another company that received some criticism from the LGBT community in the past, Microsoft recently made it's position on gay rights crystal clear by donating $100,000 to Washington Families Standing Together in support of Referendum 71. Bill Gates, the chairman, and Steven A Ballmer, the chief executive also showed their personal support with additional contributions.
5. American Airlines
By setting up the Rainbow Team, the first LGBT dedicated airline sales division and website, American Airlines have made themselves stand out for the rest of the airlines, and don't just stop at this service. Also working hard to offer the LGBT community useful services, AA also list gay themed national events on their events calendars and often attend Pride parades with their very own floats.
6. Apple
Speaking out in support of gay marriage and opposing Proposition 8, Apple put it's money where it's mouth was donating $100,000 to the No on Prop 8 campaign, and also like Levi's shows it's support through the benefits it offers start which includes equal rights and benefits to their employees' same sex partners.
7. Google
Not a company usually known for speaking out on social issues, Google made the unusual step to do just that last September, releasing a statement stating that "while there are many objections to this proposition – further government encroachment on personal lives, ambiguously written text – it is the chilling and discriminatory effect of the proposition on many of our employees that brings Google to publicly oppose Proposition 8." Alongside this Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the founders of Google, also donated $140,000 to the No campaign.
8. Starbucks
Calling for the approval of Referendum 71 Starbucks are another company showing their support for gay rights, and whilst they haven't donated to the campaign in the same way as Microsoft have, they have been long term supporters of the LGBT community featuring a pro-gay message by Armistead Maupin on their coffee cups back in 2005.
9. Boeing
Standing alongside Starbucks, Nike and Microsoft in their support of Referendum 71, Boeing, the commercial airline manufacturer has shown that it is in full support of equal rights for gays and lesbians..
Constantly finding itself at the top of gay friendly employee lists, IBM has worked hard to make its work environment an inclusive one, offering health benefits to it's employees' same sex partners and also having an anti discrimination clause. And it's definitely not just all talk with the Human Rights Campaign having rated IBM 100% on it's gay friendly index since 2003, and IBM winning over 40 LGBT awards globally.

Sunday Papers Spell Trouble for Reid & McNulty
Commenting on The Observer story, David Davis said tonight...
"This tragedy demonstrates all too clearly the dire consequences of the Government's failure to carry out its duty. If this man had been under effective close supervision his victim may well have been alive today. The killer would almost certainly have received a longer sentence. It shows why Ministers should have taken this problem so much more seriously when ACPO revealed this fiasco. Had John Reid taken a real grip of the Home Office and had his 'fundamental review' done its job, this problem would have been dealt with as a high priority last May, not last week when it was accidentally revealed. This is yet more evidence that John Reid's tenure has done nothing to fix the serial problems at the Home Office that continue to threaten the safety of the public."
UPDATE: Well the Sunday papers didn't spell as much trouble as some of us were hoping. Nowhere is there a leak of the ACPO letters. Very disappointing!
31 comments:
Not defend the Government but how would this man's details being on the ACPO database stopped him committing a crime? As I understand the database is used to make criminal record checks - so unless he killed someone whilst doing a job he shouldn't have been doing how is this a story?
- January 13, 2007 7:31 pm
- Iain Dale said...
It may or may not have stopped it, but if he was a convicted murderer then possibly they might have at least known he was there and had him under some sort of surveillance. Who knows? If you can't see why this is a story...!
- January 13, 2007 7:33 pm
This is very important, but I would be very interested to know if there is any sign yet that the contents of the ACPO letter have been leaked, either in part or in its entirety, to any of the papers tomorrow ?
Guess we won't know that until much later, as 'Sundays' like to keep their powder dry on any scoops to avoid the other papers running 'spoilers'... - January 13, 2007 7:42 pm
I find it interesting that the spin is that 'no violent criminals' have been cleared to work with vulnerable people - if some of these people have been convicted for drugs offences, then it is a bit of an academic distinction, and not a little disingenuous.
- January 13, 2007 7:43 pm
Interesting that even the BBC are reporting that despite some musical chairs in roles at the 'home office' NO heads have rolled following Reid's assessment that it wasn't 'fit for purpose'.
- January 13, 2007 7:46 pm
Just been listening to Tony McNulty's absolutely hopelessly dire performance on 'Any Questions'-'Dead Man Walking' is the phrase that springs to mind..
- January 13, 2007 7:57 pm
'Numpty' McNulty has got to be a 'victim' himself, he's been set up to take the flak - surely? He's either a willing fall guy or he really is as stupid as he seems. After the immigration fiasco, he gets shuffled sideways - to the POLICE side of the HO, and - 'surprise, surprise', he cocks this job up as well!
He really is a complete chump - and he probably believed he'd make it big one day. The sooner he, and that scarecrow lookalike Ryan are sacked the better. Why don't ministers take responsibility anymore, why don'r some of them do the decent thing? In fact Blair should call a general election tomorrow (or maybe Monday) and at least we won't have to endure Brown. Poor old sweaty, all upset about the 'Union' - he's part of why it's all going down the pan! - January 13, 2007 8:16 pm
McNulty will not get sacked anytime time soon - there is a lot more sh*t about to come out of the Home Office, and there is no reason to contaminate a 'newbie' for the moment. When Reid thinks that they have stemmed the flow of the proverbial about to hit the fan then McNulty will got dropped quicker than a hot brick.
- January 13, 2007 8:26 pm
Why has there been no call for Reids head? When the last major scandal was made public Charles Clarke was pushed from office. John Reid has stated that he was aware of the problems at the home office and should therefore have been more vigiglant than ever. The fact that this has come to light shows that the home office may not br fit for purpose, but niether is Reid.
- January 13, 2007 8:41 pm
Gordon will be rubbing his sweaty hands with glee tonight, and quite some relief.
The leaks from Brown's cronies which set off this whole episode have succeeded. Reid's leadership ambitions are now toast, though with Mandelson back directing operations it won't be long before another "Blairite" candidate emerges.
Miliband, Milburn, or A N Other?
The Anyone But Gordon bandwagon will soon be rolling again. - January 13, 2007 8:42 pm
The Home Office is clearly incompetent. No doubt about that.
However, you have to be careful looking at infrequent events like this.
I think the murder(er) rate is about 1 per 75,000/year, so one committed out of a sample of 27,000 isn't statistically interesting. It makes a good tabloid headline though.
The minutes of the meeting are far more interesting, if it shows that someone has not been telling us the truth. - January 13, 2007 8:44 pm
What about immigrants (from the EU and elsewhere) who can work here with "vulnerable" people without checks? As one "scandal" ends others will follow.
- January 13, 2007 8:46 pm
Time to soak the Home Office in MI5 officers to start digging
- January 13, 2007 10:11 pm
I think the murder(er) rate is about 1 per 75,000/year, so one committed out of a sample of 27,000 isn't statistically interesting.
oh but it is to at least one family - January 13, 2007 10:12 pm
anonymous [8.44 p.m.] I agree, the minutes of the meeting are the real hot potato. How did they get out? Under the Freedom of Information Act or via a disaffected civil servant? I bet it was the latter.
- January 13, 2007 10:13 pm
McNulty was a laughing stock on Any Question, as was Falconer the day before on Question Time. Have you noticed? New Labour gets the bird on these programmes every week now.
- January 13, 2007 10:15 pm
anon.8.42 "Miliband, Milburn, or A N Other?
The Anyone But Gordon bandwagon will soon be rolling again."
Tony Blair is popular in all the polls; and he has a 60 plus majority over all in the House of Commons. Perhaps we should believe him when he says he intends to serve a full term - after all, the electorate voted Labour on those terms. - January 13, 2007 10:20 pm
1) It's not murder but manslaughter.
2) The papers have been crawling over this story desperate to find a crime which has been committed by one of these people. They haven't found one yet.
I'd say the situation was not nearly so bad as you'd like it to be. But maybe it's being so cheerful as keeps you going. - January 13, 2007 11:09 pm
A big problem is that Tony Blair is either too weak to sack anybody or doesn't care. His PR group are either swamped with other bad stories or looking for other jobs.
None of the Ministers will resign and Tony won't sack them. Tony's mind is on setting up well paid speaking tours and taking lots of long-haul polluting flights to countries that don't know what a shallow little twit he is.
... and finally Gordon is plotting in a dark corner to keep his dark past a dark little secret. - January 13, 2007 11:57 pm
Over the past ten years, the home office has been flooded with recruits that match NuLab targets.
Unfortunately many of these new recruits are not fit for purpose but are "untouchable" under NuLab doctrine.
This is why this government office has fallen apart. - January 14, 2007 12:00 am
What I am most surprised at is that we expect MPs to be able to run these departments. Joan Ryan, for instance, did a degree in Sociology at Liverpool College of Higher Education,an MSC at South Bank Polytechnic and then worked as a teacher. How would this make her capable of running such a diverse and complicated department as the Home Office ?

Gordon's dark little secret(s) won't stay secret forever now that Bobby's back in charge of operations. - January 14, 2007 10:08 am
Bobby ?
- January 14, 2007 11:41 am
No doubt a copy of the ACPO letter is in Gordo's grubby little mitts, awaiting a more opportune moment for it to see the light of day...
- January 14, 2007 12:16 pm
The man they've appointed to head the 'inquiry' is Air Commodore F F 'Dusty' Amroliwala OBE, a lifelong RAF man who is now the Director of HR Services at the Home Office. Work that one out if you can.
RAF Man to Head Home Office Enquiry - January 14, 2007 12:25 pm
As I understand it, the files were not missing they were just ignored by Reid on the ground that it would have cost money to read them and put the information on the computer system.
British citizens convicted abroad are not subject to licence conditions imposed in this country. Its a peculiarly British thing, which was started by the Home Office, to monitor released lifers in the community, to reassure the public that they are safe.
The Criminal Justice Act 2003, extended the licence to cover those determinate sentence prisoners who serve part of their sentence in custody and the remainder out in the community.
There are two things here, the offender needs to have the desire not to re-offend; and the police need to police more for there to be a general deterrent effect.
I fear that both you and David Davis are not seeing the wood for the trees. You are watching a fight between the National Association of Probation Officers (NAPO) and John Reid, and have missed what started the fight. Might I suggest that you read Probation Circular ref.no.03/2005, http://www.probation.homeoffice.gov.uk and the document which the circular relates to Joint National Protocol on the Supervision, Revocation and recall for Prisoners on Licence. This document was produced by the National Probation Service, H.M. Prison Service and ACPO.
In effect, the Home Office guidance renders the system unworkable. Because John Reid claims that the probation service is not fit for purpose, he wants to hand it over to the private sector. Whether this would be a good or bad thing only time will tell. But it does explain why so much shit is hitting the fan of late, and why NAPO is throwing it. Meanwhile, are the public getting protection from the National Offender Management Service (NOMS)? - January 14, 2007 1:03 pm
The real issue is who is behind the stitch up. The police have every reason to detest Bliar after his cowardly performance on defending them and for putting them in an impossible situation over terror.
The evil mind would say the police (er and the Home Office) have known about this for a while so why now?
In my fantasy world the police have done adeal with Brown to Blow up Reid and give Gordo a clear run. Brown can then axe Bliar and blame him for everything. The distancing becomes more important if Bliar is ouit, Brown is no friend and no Bliarite to ruffle Gordons accession. Then they can file charges........ oh well worth a thought.
They are totally bang to rights on a cover after Falconer and McNulty's laughable attempts to wiggle last week.
Police are confirming some story about re-offenders not being on teh computer tonight according to Sky..... - January 14, 2007 4:00 pm
The man they've appointed to head the 'inquiry' is Air Commodore F F 'Dusty' Amroliwala OBE, a lifelong RAF man who is now the Director of HR Services at the Home Office. Work that one out if you can.
and whose son reads the teleprompter at the BBC - January 14, 2007 6:24 pm
Can you believe this Government's insolent contempt for democracy and freedom ?
In the wake of the Home Office database fiasco comes this despicable, Stalinist proposal for a super database of all our personal details:
Whitehall moves to create 'super-database'
This is a diastrous and terrifying idea. - January 14, 2007 7:46 pm
"It may or may not have stopped it, but if he was a convicted murderer then possibly they might have at least known he was there and had him under some sort of surveillance. Who knows? If you can't see why this is a story...!"
Iain I saw David Davis wheel out this exact point this morning on Sky. Is he (and you) seriously suggesting that the Police routinely surveil murderers who have been released for several years like Miller had been?
I also note that the Home Office have now suspended a handy scape goat - I thought the Labour Party didn't like hunting with dogs? - January 14, 2007 7:54 pm
Considering that McNulty recently was (maybe still is?) the head of the Cobra team investigating terrorist threats to the airlines and whatever, what faith can one have in him when he is so little proactive as not even to ask (of his own initiative) 'What about British Nationals convicted abroad?'
The Home Office denials simply show that they sit on their behinds as regards asking many of the most obvious important questions for the security of Britain. All the crucial work seems to be delegated, and given to incompetants. It is a disgusting scandal, and worse yet - McNulty has got away with it because some Civil Servant took the heat off him! But the responsibility clearly lies with this M.P. for Harrow. - January 16, 2007 3:04 pm

1. | england | ||
A member nation of the United Kingdom. It is part of an island nation in western Europe, which invented football (which we have mixed results in) Rugby (same again) and many other handy things.
Together with Scotish enlghtenment (mainly based in Edinburgh) Welsh raw materials, Irish manpower. The English played a huge part in turning Great Britain into the first truly industrialised nation. It also (again with the aid of the other home nations) formed the largest empire the world had yet seen. Strangely the English attempts at Empire had been successful but not greatly so, while the Scots had failed in panama. When the two combined however things really took off (strange) The English also proved themselves to be a strong fighting nation both on sea and land and contrary to popular myth were equal to the other home nation regiments. For some reason many seem to believe that a race of people that sailed across the North sea and took over much of the fertile land of Great Britain and then fought virtualy non stop with Europe, should be considered pansies. The English are now a hugely mixed group, however as they consider and take pride in their mixed basterdised background (creating a better stronger gene pool) this has had no real negative consequences unless a group is clearly segregating themselves (hence the dislike of the muslim veil) The English relationship with the rest of the U.K. has been tense for many years in the past due mainly to the constant war... |

2. | england | ||
A brilliant country, from where the following things were introduced to the world: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Black Sabbath, Depeche Mode, Sex Pistols, Coldplay Monty Python, Emily Bronte, Charlotte Bronte, Shakespeare, Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart, John Lennon, Harry Potter, Elton John, Fawlty Towers, The Office, Blackadder, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, John Keats, Lord Byron, Geoffrey Chaucer, William Blake, Charles Dickens, J.R.R. Tolkien, Roald Dahl, Thomas Hardy...
In short, England is the artistic and cultural heart of the world. "The English language boasts a rich and prominant literary heritage. England has produced a wealth of significant literary figures including William Shakespeare, arguably the most famous in the history of the English language, Daniel Defoe, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, George Orwell and Harold Pinter. Others, such as J.R.R. Tolkien, Agatha Christie, Enid Blyton and J.K. Rowling have been among the best-selling novelists of the last century. Among the poets, Geoffrey Chaucer, Lord Byron, John Keats, John Milton, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and many others remain read and studied around the world-"-Wikipedia
3. | England | ||
The homeland of numerous talented musicians. Me love England, England is best
4. | England | ||
The best country in the world and probably the most hated for some reason but we dont drink tea all day and we r not all posh, actually i've never met anyone that talks like 'we' do in american films. England help france in the war and then they sell really dangerous bombs n stuff to argentinians in the falklands war
5. | England | ||
The finest place on this earth.
England - Love it or leave it. England the greatest place on Earth
6. | England | ||
England is an alright country, depending on what part of England you're from it's a nice place to live. Many of Englands sterotypes are untrue or are untrue now for example bad teeth I've never met anyone in real life with black teeth and I've lived in England my whole life. I'm not saying England is the best country in the world because I don't think it is but i don't think it's as bad as most of these definitions are making out. England is a fun place to live you know!!
7. | england | ||
Simply, the greatest country in the world. Any negative points said about it, is basically jelousy and every country has equal or far worse points. Britain created the British empire which covered most of the world, and started the industrial revolution which was a turning point in history... Also, our friends in the West, America, uses our language... and along with other countries makes it one of the most spoken languages in history. If it wasn't for England, good ol US of A would be full of native americans, and you woudnt have the necessities you have and take for granted. How great a country must we be, to rule most of the world, and achieving all this even though our country is so small!
WE MAY HAVE A CRAP FOOTBALL TEAM, BUT WE INVENTED FOOTBALL, SO HOW BOUT THAT! in conclusion, England is a phenominal country, and has achieved so much! "England is so small, but has created so much"
