I was rather disappointed with the mechanism on this box. I found it overly simple and for me, it just opened naturally. It seems that most of the price went into the very nice box or the marketing.

Mayor Eddie Manning said work began on the park several months ago and now has a gold fish pond, playground equipment, picnic tables, benches, grill and shelter for residents to use. He said the walking track is 1,000 feet long, noting plans are to add a swing set and other playground equipment as funds become available. Pictured to the right is Manning.

Ahhh, what a glorious 6 1/2 months of travel it's been! I really ought to do a montage of this epic journey…but that's a creative outlet for another day!
I'm wrapping up my time in the English countryside…and what a glorious place it's been for me be to be in the "in between". Here's a picture of the farmhouse my husband and I have been staying in…cooking, cozying up to fires every night, going for long walks, and I've done plenty of journaling too.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes, best-selling author of Women Who Run With the Wolves talks about a world in between worlds…and that's exactly where I've been for much of 2012, and from what I hear from my Divine Living Radio Show listeners and Feminine Art of Manifesting participants, many other women have been in that "in between" space too.
In today's Divine Living Radio Show I'm going to address the power of this "in between" time, what it's for, how it can help you (or keep you stuck) from moving on into the next chapter of your life, plus give you tips on how to manage what can be very frustrating and fearful times with greater power, awareness and ease.
In today's international Divine Living Radio Talk Show I'm going to be discussing:
How to Manage Life's "In Between" Times:
Surrendering to Transition without Freaking Out

Hi guys, I'm Chrissy. I like to cosplay, draw/paint, and act! c:
I am 18 years old and female (if you couldn't already tell). Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica/Puella Magi Madoka Magica (which ever way you prefer to call it) is my all-time favorte anime, and I really don't think that will change because of how strong I feel for it. It is such a beautiful anime, and got me thinking more about things like wishes. My favorite character is Kyoko Sakura, and my second favorite is Sayaka Miki. They are also my otp. Don't like it, then either deal with it or unfollow me I guess, because I will post/reblog a lot of Sayaka X Kyoko. Other than MSM★M stuff, I will post/reblog a bunch of random things that satisfy my humor, inspiration, interests, etc. I LOVE HAWKE! ∞ever and nothing will ever change my feelings for him <3 If there's anything you feel I should tag, please let me know. I really appareniate it, because I can't catch everything. Wow, sorry that this is so long! D: But thank you for stopping by my blog, and I hope you enjoy it! ^^ If you don't, that's your opinion and I fully respect it. :3 |

From its creation in 1727, the royal families and nobles of Jaipur patronized the craftsmen and artisans of the city. These traditions continue to this day and as a result modern day Jaipur is considered by many as the craft capital of India. Traditional methods are still used to produce many valuable and highly prized items. Using skills passed down through generations, artisans and master craftsmen can be seen in the areas of Ghat Darwaza and Vishveshwar ji.
On this fascinating evening walk mingle and talk with the locals whilst sampling some of the region's culinary delights; try pakoras, aloo tiki, samosa and ladoo from some of the city's most popular street food vendors. Observe local artisans in their workshops; jewelers and silversmiths, gold painters and tie dying experts. The iconic Hawa Mahal also called the Palace of the Winds is the meeting point at which this two and a half hour walk begins.
The Trident, Jaipur captures the romance and beauty of the fabled "Pink City" with its rose-colored facade reflecting traditional Rajasthani architecture. Situated en route to Jaipur's renowned Amber Fort, the hotel looks out onto the scenic Mansagar Lake and the picturesque Aravalli range. The hotel's135 rooms and 2 suites are a viewing gallery for all grandeur of the Pink City of Jaipur.The restaurant and bar at the Trident have been designed keeping in mind the international traveler while maintaining the elegance associated with Jaipur. The outdoor heated swimming pool offers a perfect ambience for guests to relax and unwind. A bonus is a view of the picturesque Aravali hills.
Spend the day today in the company of a knowledgeable Enlish speaking guide as you tour the Amber Fort and City Palace of Jaipur, the iconic Observatory and the Hawa Mahal.
The magnificent Amber Fort was established in 1592, and remained the citadel of the Kachhawaha rulers right until they moved their capital to Jaipur in 1727. Maharaja Man Singh I created this imposing monument on the remains of an ancient 11th century fort. Since the first half of the 18th century, the City Palace has been the abode to the rulers of Jaipur. The sprawling expanse of the breathtaking palace is a superb harmony of Rajput and Mughal architecture. Part of the palace has been converted into a museum, open to the public, while a section - Chandra Mahal - still remains the home of today's maharaja.The Observatory of Jaipur is Inscribed on the World Heritage List as "an expression of the astronomical skills and cosmological concepts of the court of a scholarly prince at the end of the Mughal period". Within it, the Jantar Mantar is a collection of massive astronomical instruments, built of local stone and marble. Each instrument carries an astronomical scale marked on the marble inner lining, and bronze tablets were also employed.
Built in 1799, the whimsical Hawa Mahal - Palace of Winds - which adjoins the Palace has become quite the city icon, with its ornate facade in pale pink, tiered baroque like build, projecting 'jharokha' windows and balconies with perforated screens. These were designed so that the mysterious veiled ladies of the harem could look down upon the colourful and bustling bazaars below, remaining hidden themselves. Overlooking busy streets, it offers great views of the city. We feel the Amber Fort is best reached by car, but an optional elephant ride is available should you prefer (cost not included).
The elephant safaris followed with dinner are conducted in the original Aravali forests surrounding the camp and follow a route through villages, agricultural fields, hills and ancient monuments. The birdlife in the thick forests is thriving and though panthers do inhabit the jungles, it is very rare to see them. Occasionally the hyena and the wolf has been sighted by guests, antelopes and jackals are in abundance. The night safaris are extremely popular.
Observe the wonders of this world famous 'Pink City' is favoured equally for its vibrancy as well as its arresting monuments from up in the sky. Be mesmerised by the city as you fly over and absorb its riotous cocktail of Colours, Forts & Palaces. The most acknowledged tourist place of India, Jaipur is fondly called the Pink City. A complete feast for those inclined to adventure, the city is known for its monuments, comfortable and luxurious hotels, rich history, gardens, exquisite cuisines, havelis, forts and a lot more. The description is endless; words always fall short to describe the beauty and explicit nature of city. Known for its Royal Rajput culture, Jaipur is also one of the most beautifully planned cities of it's time. Truly - a paradise on earth. You will be picked up at your hotel and taken to the launch sight to enjoy the exhilarating sight of the balloons being inflated and prepared. Then it will be around an hour in the sky, exploring the great features of the city before getting back to ground level and back to your hotel.

Thread: Art of Animation Resort
Art of Animation Resort
I saw this morning as I was leaving Pop that the construction is really coming along over at the new Art of Animation Resort. The check-in hall was getting detail in the stucco on the front of it. I think all of the room buildings are framed out (if not completely enclosed). I didn't get around by the lake to really see but, it looks like they've gotten a lot of work done since I last stayed at Pop in January.
Just thought I'd give an update! I can't remember when this resort will actually open. I'm thinking Fall '12 for some reason...Gwen

Torrington >> Torrington seventh-grader Tara Lynch will appear as national princess in the "6 ABC Dunkin' Donuts Thanksgiving Day Parade" in Philadelphia on Thursday.
Tara, who is the reigning Junior Miss Litchfield County 2012, has been national princess for Miss Connecticut's Outstanding Teen Jaine Coann Lefebrve since June when Coann won the state title.
"I feel really good to be able to represent all of Connecticut," Tara said. "It's an honor to represent the state."
As part of the overall Miss America and Miss America's Outstanding Teen program, each state can have a princess accompany their teen titleholder to their national competition in Orlando, Florida.
Because as the two contest winners became friends in 2010 when Jaine held the local title of Miss Litchfield County's Outstanding Teen and Tara was Jr. Miss Litchfield County, Tara immediately accepted her friend's wish to have her as her national princess.
The honored "national princess" entered into the pageant world after Tara won the title of Little Miss Litchfield County in 2009 as a third-grader. She retained the title in 2010 and moved up an age division in 2011.
Tara's pageant career stemmed from Lynch's mother suggesting to try out pageants in order to break out of her shell seeing as many of the activities in pageants pertain to public speaking.
"In that year, I grew up the most because I was able to grow in myself and talk (in front of people)," she said.
When Tara originally received the title of Junior Miss Litchfield County in 2011, she launched her own personal platform, "Run the World: Building Confidence and Character in Girls" to build self-esteem and confidence in girls her age.
"She realized there are girls her age that just didn't have the same self-esteem she had about themselves," said Colleen Lynch, Tara's mom. Continued...
Tara has made several appearances at local Girl Scout meetings and after school programs "to talk about why it is important for girls in fourth to eighth grades to realize they need to be the best they can be, whether it is through art, dance, writing, math or whatever brings them happiness," she said.
Her message to the young girls is that they should be confident because when they enter middle school peer pressure begins and should "accept yourself and be who you are and not anyone else."
The Junior Miss Litchfield County has aspirations of becoming Miss Connecticut's Outstanding Teen, Miss Connecticut and eventually Miss America. Her mentor is Brittany Decker, last year's Miss Connecticut.
Besides participating in pagaent-related events, Tara is a three-year member of the student service council at her school St. Anthony School in Winsted where she also competes as an award-winning Irish dancer at the Shamrock School of Dance and is a member of the SoccerPlus Elite U-12 premier travel soccer team.

Energy suppliers British Gas have launched a new scheme to give away solar panels to schools in Britain.
Under the initiative, 750 schools across the country will be able to have the energy saving devices fitted free of charge so they can benefit from sustainable cheap energy.
Any excess electricity that schools generate, for example during the school holidays, will be able to be sold back into the grid to earn some extra money.
The scheme will provide schools with the opportunity to collectively save around 1,400 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, helping them to slash 20 per cent off their annual electricity bill.
Schools will have to visit the generationgreen.co.uk website to be in with a chance of winning free solar panels.
Katie Alloway, a spokesperson for British Gas, said: "From a school's perspective, financially [solar panels] can help them save money and cut their emissions, but the other side of the coin is that it really helps our children learn more about renewable energy and energy conservation."
If you want to find out more about your energy options and how you could save up to £378 in minutes, click here.

Amazon is Primo I'm not in the habit of hawking a service offered by an online vendor. But I have to share with you - because it was shared with me - one that's so far been worth every penny. Amazon Prime.
First let me say I think Amazon has done nothing but "right" from inception. The online giant saw a space - books for sale online - and realized that it was the proverbial foot in the door. Because of its very nature, the printed word is "browsable" online, unlike many other goods for sale. Clothing, for example, took a long, long time to transition because we really do want to feel the fabric, try it on, see the colors next to our skin, see how well it's made, and so on.
And while yes, browsing the shelves of a bookstore can be fun, and there is a certain amount of serendipity in wandering around and shuffling through the discounted bins, or happening by a well-placed display item, Amazon got that covered very quickly with recommendations it served up along with the item you requested. Not only that, but it developed a very, very accurate algorithm for associating you to others with your taste and then associating their taste to you and offering you books that were highly likely to please. I can't tell you how many books I bought as a result of having them suggested to me by Amazon.
And it goes without saying that Amazon invented the shopping cart, acclimating all of us to the experience of shopping online. I don't know how many of you remember the trepidation with which we first approached putting something in a shopping cart, fearful that we'd own it and not be able to give it back, or that our choice would get lost in the ether, or that some other disaster would occur because this was all happening virtually rather than at a bricks and mortar store.
Now we not only shop online, but I am madly in love with Amazon's other delightful invention "1-Click," which allows you to set up parameters for buying items simply by making a single click and it's on its way (you do always have that buyer's remorse period, of course!).
And I have never, never had a problem with Amazon accepting a return. There's just nothing to it.
It's also quite easy to check recent purchases, track orders, keep an address book of people for whom you buy gifts, create or use other folks' Wish Lists (wow does that make gift giving easy!), find hard to find merchandise, and set up your own store front - or shop others - selling or reselling merchandise, new or used. That used merchandise feature is great if you're looking for a higher ticket item.
Then let me say a word or two about Amazon's rating system. Yes, yes, I know, it's abused by spammers inflating or deflating the ratings with praise or damnation, but it's pretty easy to figure out which reviews are honest and which are fake. I don't rely so much on the overall rating as I do on individual evaluations. I read a handful and get the gist of how the product performs, and so far, I've found the reviews (except for books, music, and movies, but that's a whole different story) to be spot on.
Recently Amazon introduced movies - not for sale, but rental/streaming, a la Netflix. I haven't tried it yet, but I will say that the movies offered are very recent release, which is already a definite plus. The downside is, I can't get it to play on my iPad (at least, not yet, but that is for another article).
Now, on to Amazon Prime. A savvy tech shopper friend recommended the $80 annual subscription, and I have to admit it had me a little put off. 80 bucks? That's not cheap! So he asked me how much I used Amazon. I said, oh, all the time. I buy vitamins and stockings and audio cables and Kindle books (constantly) and gifts and even odd items like spray salad dressing (this is true!!) that for some crazy reason you can't buy in the stores in Syracuse any more. I said I charge it all so I can get a handle on my purchases, and I probably spend anywhere from $100 to $300 or more on Amazon monthly. So he said, ok, figure out the shipping charges. Hmmm. Good point.
Because one of the things Amazon Prime offers is free shipping. Free two-day shipping. (And it really is two day shipping, I've tried it!) Plus free instant streaming of hundreds of movies and tv series, with additional titles at a small fee. And finally, there is a Kindle lending library you can access to browse through hundreds of titles to borrow (free) and enjoy.
The free two-day shipping alone is worth the annual fee for me, as a single shipping charge can be $5, $10, even $15, depending. (Amazon Prime does not cover storefront, private or commercial, so you will pay shipping on items purchased outside the Amazon "store.") So given the number of items I'm purchasing, and even though Amazon will thoughtfully bundle purchases where possible to save on shipping, it can still be frustrating to pay extra, and then to wait, most of which goes away with Amazon Prime.

Woman At The Center Of Bobby Petrino Scandal Resigns
By: Stephen Crews
Updated: April 17, 2012
Dorrell will receive a settlement of about $14,000.
The announcement of the resignation and settlement came just before 7 p.m. tonight from Kevin Trainor, the Associate Athletic Director for Public Relations.
From the press release:
" The University of Arkansas announced today that Jessica Dorrell resigned late this afternoon as the football program's student-athlete development coordinator, effective immediately.
In making the announcement, athletics director Jeff Long said both he and Ms. Dorrell agreed her resignation was in the best interest of both parties.
"While Ms. Dorrell had a legitimate right to apply for and accept a position within the football program, the circumstances surrounding the former coach's decision to hire her compromised her ability to be effective in such a position," he said. "She and I believe she should have the opportunity to move on."
As part of her resignation, Ms. Dorrell agreed she would not attempt to sell or profit from her affiliation with Razorback Athletics. The University will pay Ms. Dorrell approximately $14,000 as part of a settlement and resolution of all matters between the parties.
There are no immediate plans to re-open or advertise the job opportunity. Those duties will be assigned to other staff members for the time being."
In recent days University of Arkansas officials have made public records that indicate that Dorrell used a $20,000 gift from Petrino to purchase a new car during her first week in her position inside the football program.

Fly to Dar es Salam
Flight to Dar es Salaam
Arriving in Dar Es Salaam you transfer straight to your first night's accommodation (approximately 1.5 hours). Your destination is Bagamoyo, a historical coastal town lying on the side of the Pacific ocean. You will get to visit the orphanage we support in Bagamoyo or just relax on the beach.
Travellers Lodge (AAA) - 1 night
Photography introduction to portraits, colours, light in the market & local orphanage - Introduction to photography basics, settings, preparation. Learn how to capture colour, life, composition, light, shadow in the midst of a bustling market, and focus on portraits, practicing with local kids.
Saadani National Park
This morning you will explore Bagamoyo historical town, where slaves were once brought from the interior to be shipped to Zanzibar. You cross the Wami River by canoe, before switching to game drive cars for the journey into Saadani National Park and your beach safari camp. The camp is on the edge of the park, to the north of Bagamoyo. Despite its proximity to Zanzibar (15 minutes flying time) and Dar es Salaam, Saadani has remained almost totally undeveloped for tourism.
Bordering the park, your fixed tents are beautifully situated on the beach, with a bar and restaurant. Nearby there's the small local village of Mkwaja as well as the historical ruins of an early mosque.
Saadani Fixed bandas (AAAA) - Beautiful thatched huts on stilts with en suite facilities - 4 nights (BD)
Introduction to photographing wildlife. Game drive - Lots of suggestions and guidance during this first 'shoot'. Your aim today is to get to grips with your camera, start taking some pictures and have some fun out in the bush. Evening - charge up batteries, Get together and review your photos, talk about what you would like to achieve during the holiday. You will be encouraged to create a portfolio of work in a photo book or photo diary. Tuition on observation, composition, light and ISO.
Saadani National Park
The day begins with a briefing about the elephant and green turtle projects that you visit today. Kids will also have time for a quick Swahili lesson! During the day, each family will be responsible for collecting data on one of the project elephants, which can be collected in a questionnaire. Keep your eyes peeled, as there is also an animal footprint competition. Today you will also learn about the Green Turtle project in Madete Marine Park, another great conservation project. If you are visiting during the peak season period of July to September, there is a 50% chance of witnessing turtles hatching. If you do see this miracle, you may be required to help the turtles reach the sea., if the experts feel there is a real threat to their path. As this is a sensitive issue, it is closely monitored. If you do miss an actual hatching, you can still visit the breeding beach to see the nest and sign of turtle activity. (BLD)
Photography in action On the field we get great opportunity to learn to capture the movements, as we observe closely the elephants and the research team, we focus on observation skills, ISO, light and composition, with plenty of one-to-one support and guidance.
Saadani National Park
This morning you head out by open-topped Land Rover (the all-purpose workhorse of these parts), to seek out a wider variety of game. Wildebeest, hartebeest, eland, reedbuck, warthog and zebra occur in great numbers alongside some of the largest herds of giraffe found in Africa. You might also see the elusive oryx, sable and kudu. This afternoon is your most relaxing safari outing is a boat safari on the Wami River, where the type of animals you can see differs greatly. You motor slowly up-river past a wonderful array of kingfishers, bee-eaters and other river birds, with hippopotamus and crocodile basking in the warm, shallow waters. Many primates are also visible - especially black and white colobus monkey. You can then anchor or simply drift down-river in silence for a while before returning by vehicle through the reserve to camp. (BLD)
NB: The day by day activities described for the Saadani National Park may vary due to weather conditions and also the location of wildlife in the park.
Introduction Photo Challenge 1
Your first photo challenge will be unveiled today! Don't worry, you will receive one-to-one assistance and guidance whilst travelling. Advice for photographing on foot in preparation for game walk.

Some of the birds here include coucal, lovebird, rollers and sunbird, as well as offering close encounters with big game. There is also an archaeological dig in the lodge grounds where they have found ruins of an 18th century village which is helping to make an historical record for the area.
This afternoon there may be an opportunity to visit the nearby local school – Mkwaja Primary School. The teacher is used to your visits and an impromptu football match often takes place. It's a great place to interact with the local villagers and to see their way of life. (BLD)
Photo Challenge 2

We aim for more portraits as we will visit the local school, with group pictures as well as individuals. At the end of the day, we review and discuss our work together. It's a great opportunity to choose a few images you are pleased with and a few images you are disappointed with and say why.
Mikumi National Park
Today we drive to Mikumi National Park (approx. 360 km / 6 hours). Established in 1964, the park lies in a horseshoe of Mountains, which rise to 2,750m. A number of routes can be taken within the park. You visit the floodplains of the Mkata River where hippo, elephant, buffalo and other animals are often found. Mikumi takes its name from the local Kiswahili language for a type of palm tree found in the area. You can also keep a lookout for the distinctive sausage trees. There is much to keep both young and old alert today – from wallowing hippos to colourful birds.
Kikoboga Bandas (CC) (Stone-built thatched lodges with en suite facilities) - 2 nights - Swimming Pool (BD)

Review progress and ideas for photo books and journals.
Fly to Zanzibar
Today you transfer back to Dar Es Salaam to depart for Zanzibar by light aircraft. You will disembark and transfer to your hotel on arrival (15 minutes). As a result of its trade in slaves and spices, Zanzibar was for many years the most important town on the East African coast. The Sultans of Oman, who introduced the clove tree to its fertile soil at the start of the last century, moved their court here from Muscat in the Gulf and ruled until independence in the early 1960s. As a major trading centre, the 'Spice Island' is also reputed to be the birthplace of Swahili, the simple lingua franca that developed to allow trade between people of different languages. In the heart of the original merchant city the baleful cry of the muezzin calling the faithful to prayer resonates though the narrow stone streets.
Dhow Palace Hotel (AAA) - 2 nights - Swimming pool (B)
Photo Challenge 5

Stone Town

Photo Challenge 6 (final challenge)
Chance to have fun with all the different photographic techniques you've learnt on the spice tour, including close up and detail shots, shape, space, colour, patterns and textures.

We just purchased several tons of bulk crushed rubber to apply to our sports turf field. We have Field Spec maintenance machine, however I would love to get a "how to " video for operating it for the first time.In the mean time, is there a manual way to apply the crushed rubber that will benefit our participants? The field has had NO MAINTENANCE for the past three years and is severely matted down. I am hoping once we get the rubber added and the machine operational, the brushes and tines will be able to alleviate the matting problem at least a bit.This field is used daily by our military members and our sports teams. We really want to get the project completed for the benefit of the troops. Thank youSteve RennerCamp Services ManagerCamp LemonnierDjibouti, Africa
Steve,You may not need additional rubber infill, just a good grooming process. There should be approximately 1/2" of fiber exposed above the infill. If more than 3/4", then you will need to add the infill. Less than 1/2" and the field could get too soft or would allow for too fast of a ball roll. Pull the drag brush across the turf a few times in different directions and see what happens. Set it so the bristles of the brush are just barely touching the infill. Let me know how it turns out or contact me for additional help. Pictures are good. Milo

St Thomas Aquinas' family locked him in a tower and sent in a prostitute to keep him from becoming a priest!
Most of Thomas's brothers chose military careers, but his mother desired for him to become a Benedictine monk. Instead of joining the Benedictine's, he wanted to join the Dominican order. This didn't sit well with his mom.
To prevent his mother from interfering, the Dominican arranged for him to go to Rome. On his way to Rome, Thomas's mother sent her other sons to kidnap Thomas while he was drinking from a spring.
They took him back to their parents' castle and held him there for two years. Due to political reasons, the Pope didn't order for his release. During his home imprisonment, Thomas tutored his sisters and communicated with the Dominican Order.
His mother was hoping that the detention would kill his aspirations. His brothers became desperate and sent a prostitute to seduce Thomas. He chased her away with a burning stick.
Legend has it that two angels appeared to him that night and blessed him with more fortitude to remain celibate. Finally, his mother realized she'd lost the battle and he wouldn't change his mind.
To save face, instead of just releasing him and admitting defeat, she arranged for him to escape through his bedroom window to finally join the Dominican Order.

"The only sentence for the blasphemy of the Prophet Muhammad (saaw) is capital punishment"?
The thing is that 99.9% Muslims commit blasphemy multiple times everyday by how they behave and conduct their life and claim to be Muslims. They commit blasphemy every time they pray after performing physical act of wuzoo, while their minds are still contaminated with perverse thoughts and ideas to cheat their "brother" Muslims.
"Why the crusader Pope is unable to see the mass murder of over a million Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan and the persecutions in Guantanamo Bay?". Its because the "crusader" Pope does not espouse the feelings of hatred and intolerance that you do. In fact, MOST Muslims are tolerant of other people's beliefs, regardless of whether these other people are Muslims or not. It is because of intolerant people like you – yes, there are intolerant Muslims, intolerant Christians, intolerant Hindus, intolerant Jews too – that many innocent Muslims have been murdered and persecuted.

Penn Valley Student Honored for School Safety Proposal
A fence around each Pennsylvania school? David Lu thinks it 'ought to be a law.'
Ah, the wisdom of children. David Lu, a fifth grader at Penn Valley Elementary, recently won Rep. Tim Briggs' annual "There Ought to be a Law" essay contest with a proposal on school safety. Lu suggested a law that would secure all school entrances, install fences along school property, and mandate all students and staff participate in regular safety drills. Lu's essay was selected from over 400 submissions. Briggs, who attended a recent Lower Merion School Board of Directors meeting to present David and the other finalists with an official citation from the state house celebrating their accomplishment, said the annual contest provides him with a valuable reminder: his constituents include children, as well as grownups.

Comment posted Argyll First endorse Michael Breslin in Dunoon vote by newsroom.
Absolutely. Of course it is the core responsibility of officers to understand such situations and to ensure that the Council administration is aware of the detail and the implications.
It is also not unreasonable to expect an alert Council Leader to work this out or to ask questions that produce the right answers.
newsroom also commented
- Donald Kelly makes his personal voting preference public – unlike many others. He also makes it clear that his affinity within the council is with the Argyll First group which he co-founded and which, as a non-political group, constitutionally accepts individuals of any political persuasion.
Unlike even more others he puts the interests of Argyll before those of the party he personally supports.
Voters clearly did not share the confected expressions of confusion amongst the comments above.
Had they not done so, they would have voted differently.
As a councillor respected for his integrity, Donald Kelly got the most powerful personal vote in Argyll. That is what tells the story that matters to real people.
If politicians paid attention to this story, things might be positively different.
- Bit of a WOW moment, here, Arnie.
Tell us more. Where did you see this? - Bob – as Private Eye say 'Shurely shome mishtake'.
It was the three Argyll First councillors who took a voluntary pay cut of 10% – Donald Kelly, John McAlpine and Dougie Philand – saved the money and donated it to three charities focused on young people.
Michael Breslin is the SNP candidate standing in the election today for the Dunoon ward of Argyll and Bute – who has been endorsed by the Argyll First group.
- Mr Russell's politics are, in many ways, as 'old school' as Mr Walsh's, both are of the 'whatever does the business' view.
It will be part of the challenge for the new coalition administration and for the SNP group within it, to stand on their own values and to find their own way.
Just as they should not be officer-led, they should not be MSP-led either.
If they are to win the trust and the respect of the general electorate and unite Argyll, there must be no smart tricks, just intelligent hard work and fairness for all above all things. Argyll is hungry for that.
Recent comments by newsroom
- Update on SNP meeting
The fact that Mr Allan was asked and agreed not to resign does not negate the fact that he was to resign – and should have done so.
Councillor McCuish was persuaded not to resign and will have to make his mind up at what point he puts the interests of his constituents before those of his party.
Sandy Taylor IS a novice councillor.
As a former council officer and not at the most senior level, it is hard to see how he would – if he were to be voted Council Leader – successfully translate to being senior to those who have been his own line managers.
The fact that he has not been able to protect his group of councillors from tightened control measures from party central does not suggest someone with what it takes to stand ground over those he perceives to be his seniors. - SNP meeting on Monday may be testing time for mega-coalition proposal
We're not going to do a '20 questions' routine but, to let local politicians off the hook, it's not any of them.
And we're now taking a vow of silence. - First Minister's choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
Criticising behaviour – like Nimbyism [a worthy target], should not necessarily require tying it to a party or a group, although if there is good evidence why it belongs there, there is every reason to relate the two.
When you say: 'Only in a very small number of occasions would I condone taking protest to the point of physical intimidation and I reserve that to some of the most significant 'upheavals' in modern times (examples being the fight against apartheid and the civil rights movement in the US) – even then there would be a line I, personally, couldn't step over.' – this is wholly understandable but using violence to protest against it is contradictory. I can never get playwright John Arden's line out my head on this one: 'You can't cure the pox by further whoring.'
Civil disobedience is a very attractive and effective expression of disaffection but people are quite resistant to considering it.

We have people in Community Councils in Argyll who are on the record as not wanting 'people of low incomes' in their area. And those will be people of a variety of political persuasions. The socialist NIMBY is not a rare bird.
It is unsafe to give representational status to the fringe adherents of any cause – and that is why the cause itself – any cause – must be clear about what it finds acceptable and what it does not.
The need for the formal, official representative of a country to be clear on matters like this is even greater – and it sets the bar.
How would Mr Salmond react to the same treatment the mob offered Mr Farage in Edinburgh?
It was sudden and unexpected.
It began with an invasion of the pub he was in.
It was intimidating – the mob crowded tight in, creating a real pressure.
The shouting and the abuse was literally 'in his face'.
There was no way through nor any offered.
It would be surprising if the First Minister were not to feel equally shaken by such an experience – and very surprising if he had effectively condoned it as gleefully afterwards.
Personally, I'm not afraid of much – but the pressure of shouting bodies, the level of unreason, the aggression – with no signals that this might not turn to physical aggression… I wouldn't have run but I would have been worried for my safety and I would have had no certainty as to the outcome.
The police clearly had reason to take a quite extraordinary series of measures to protect Mr Farage.
One of these was locking him in a pub for his own safety.
That meant that they were uncertain of their ability to protect him against a violence they, who were present – clearly felt was a potential development.
I feel – on good evidence – that Tony Blair did more damage than anyone to the political life of this country, to its expectation of honesty in those who govern, to its essential democracy and to its security – and that he has blood on his hands: of untold thousands of innocent Iraqis, of Dr David Kelly, of those who died in London in the bombings of 7th July 2005. I feel the most profound contempt for him.[And Nigel Farage has nothing of this level of gravity on his record.]
But I would act to protect Blair were he to be the butt of anything like this – because I do not wish to be implicated either in what he has done or in any primitive lynch mob response to it.
The best punishment for the attention-seeking and egotistical Blair is to pay him no attention. He is not an homme serieux.
The best response to UKIP and MR Farage, if you are opposed to their politics, is not to vote for them.
