1. | bestie | ||
a best friend, originally british slang, its just awesome my bestie just gave me a cookie! OMFGWTF!!!!!11111!!!!!!!11!
2. | Bestie | ||
An adoring nickname for one you hold in highest esteem, more commonly known as a best friend. A bestie is the person who you not only go shopping with on a regular basis but also trust implicitly with anything.. besties do not come and go like waves and sandcastles, they are more like permanent marker on American Eagle jeans, they'll stay with you forever. It is much better to have one pure andgood bestie who is true to you then multiple 'besties' (even though if theres more than one t usually will not count as a bestie, technically) who are only like pants that stay with you only until you get too fat for them, or you tear them (like hurting them, and then them being all unforgiving), or just until they fade. A true bestie would stick with you through all of it, walking in when the world walks out. Boyfriend: Hey, wanna go to the movies with me later?
You: Oh my gosh I'm sorry maybe tomorrow I've got plans with my bestie already. I would never blow her off! |
3. | Bestie | ||
Your favorite person in the world. Kind of like your best friend, except better. Daniel and Faulk are besties.
4. | Bestie | ||
A friend that means the world to you, that you love too much to date because you fear you would lose them. Someone that will never leave your side or leave you hanging for any reason at all. A very rare breed of friendship. If You have a Bestie, Keep them We are more than best friends, we've been through way more. We are more like besties!!
5. | Bestie | ||
Your Person. Your # 1.
Forever. Jacqui and Nicki are Besties for life.
There can only be two Besties. You, and your BESTIE. There are no "groups" of besties. There are no "Three besties!" |
6. | bestie | ||
Kind of like your best friend, except better. Daniel and Faulk are besties.
7. | bestie | ||
Two people who are more than best friends that are obviously meant to be together. Girl 1: Bill and Jill are totally made for eachother but they only think of eachother as a bestie.
Girl 2. I know right! They should totally go out |

London, Sept 19 (ANI): Fascinating letters written by Lawrence of Arabia have been found years after they were thought to have been burned on a fire.
In the letters, the hero of the Arab revolt in the First World War talks about his love of motorcycles, which led to his death in a road accident in 1935, reports The Telegraph.
Speaking about one of his machines, he wrote: "It's a heavenly bike, goes like smoke and is as smooth as milk to ride."
The correspondence – found when an envelope fell out of an old book – will be auctioned on October 1 in Dorchester, Dorset, and could fetch more than 10,000 pounds.
Dorset historian Rodney Legg, who has written numerous books on Lawrence, said: "It's mysterious how Lawrence managed to balance his finances. He sometimes spent lavishly and at other times wrote letters to friends proclaiming poverty.
"So anything that throws light on the relationship with his banker is quite revealing." (ANI)

fat bastard who eats all the pies and shags your gran all night you're as fat as wayne rooney
1. | Wayne Rooney | ||
A highly talented, yet fowl tempered English footballer. As well as his football ability he also possesses the ability to look like both Shrek and a potato, yet potatoes and Shrek look nothing alike. 'Man, Wayne Rooney sure does look like a potato, lets watch Shrek.'

4. | Wayne Rooney | ||
A chavvy little cunt who gets caught in granny brothels and then attacks passers by. Also known to swear and scream until the ref gives him his nappy back.
Can be found in any shithole area of Liverscum or Manure. Rooney'll be a fat piss head in a few years.
What?, Just like that wife beating wanker, Best. |
5. | Wayne Rooney | ||
A very talented football player that will never ever be able to control his temper or his love of shagging old grannies Wayne Rooney stamped on Carvalho's nuts and essentially got England put out of the 2006 world cup, much to my delight
6. | Wayne Rooney | ||
A little brat who got owned in the world cup by his own teammate for beeing such a fucking asshole. Wayne rooney: Holly shit mother fucker son of a bitch you fucking stupid bastard.
Cristiano Ronaldo: Hey ref! Ref: Red card, get the fuck out of here Wayne rooney: (crying) cristiano we are over no more free sex in manchester united showers |
7. | Wayne Rooney | ||
Overpaid arrogant wanker who has the tendancy to complain when the average working-class England fans rightly boo and his team off after a poor performance. These fans paid good money to see their team perform well and haven't got their money's worth. Wayne probably wipes his arse on several £50 notes which shows his arrogance. "Nice to see your own fans booing you. If that's what loyal support is ... for fuck's sake." yeah, fuck off Wayne Rooney!

Then you saw it had just rained and the dirt turned to mud.....(rimaniss(spell check) Then you and your cousin(brother, sister, kinfolk) went and played in the mudd. You start too feel a need for food and you grab a glob of mud and ask the other person if the would like a mudpie? They reply yes. So you slap the glob on the nearest surface and sprinkle it with various ground items(grass, twigs, pebbles) And there you have it Ala Mode......well not quiet but when you where that age you thought that was a pretty nice pie you mad. Am I wrong? The bad part was wen the pies dried up and your grandad came after you cuz you let mud dry out on his driveway. Example 1,

Flo: Yes i love mudpie. *makes eatings sounds as if she was really eating a pie* Yumm Yumm yumm......Deliciosos! Example 2, Grandad: Did you leave that piece of dirt on my driveway?

The cases of several Prince George's County officials accused of wrong doing has led to a state constitutional amendment that is before Maryland voters on Election Day.
The amendment is listed as Question 3 on this year's ballot.
Under current law, an elected official convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor related to their official duties is not removed from office, until they are sentenced.
Prince George's County Delegate Jolene Ivey says that official can remain in office for months, after being found guilty by a judge or a jury, or entering a guilty or no contest plea.
Ivey believes that the elected official is no longer "effective" in office after being found guilty.
She has sponsored the constitutional amendment that would automatically remove an elected official once a verdict is reached, or plea is entered.
"The important thing is that the voters get someone to represent them who can be effective, not someone who is primary goal is not getting in trouble with the court system in the next few months," Ivey told WBAL News.
Ivey said she sponsored the legislation after the corruption case involving former Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson and his wife Leslie.
Both are now serving federal prison time.
Leslie Johnson had been a newly elected Prince George's County Councilwoman in November, 2010, when the couple's home was raided by FBI agents. FBI wiretaps showed Jack Johnson telling his wife to flush a $100,000 check down the toilet, and hide thousands of dollars in her underwear.
Jack Johnson resigned before his term expired, but Leslie Johnson remained in office for more than a month after she pleaded guilty last year.
Ivey's legislation putting this issue on the ballot was also sponsored by a number of Baltimore City lawmakers, who noted that former Mayor Sheila Dixon remained in office for a month, after she entered guilty pleas in 2010 in the perjury and theft cases against her.
Unlike other ballot questions dealing with gambling, same sex marriage or the DREAM Act, there is no committee formed to campaign fro this issue. There are no commercials or billboards urging passage of Question 3.
Ivey believes no campaign is necessary.
"Without any of us putting out one dollar to promote it, I can't believe anybody is going to vote against it," Ivey told WBAL News.
"In fact, if I could only find the name of the person who would vote against this, I would really want to have a word with him and find out why."
Text of Question 3 as it Appears on the Mayland Ballot
(Amending Article XV, Section 2 of the Maryland Constitution)
Changes the point at which an elected official charged with certain crimes is automatically suspended or removed from office. Under existing law, an elected official who is convicted or pleads no contest is suspended and is removed only when the conviction becomes final. Under the amended law, an elected official is suspended when found guilty and is removed when the conviction becomes final or when the elected official pleads guilty or no contest.

Hamon will rebuild one ESP per year, to be completed in March 2014, 2015 and 2016. With a value close to EUR 44 million, this contract confirms the continuous leadership of Hamon in the particulate control segment of the Air Pollution Control market for power plants.
Hamon has set up a high quality project team to manage this contract, making use of its best resources from France, Germany and Belgium.
Hamon will supply a Wet Limestone Flue Gas Desulfurization for the future 300 MW fuel-oil boiler of the O Mon II power plant. This EVN (Vietnam Electricity) power plant is located in the south of Vietnam,160km south of Can Tho, in the Mekong Delta. This project, with an approximate value of USD 16 million, will be executed by the Hamon FGD (flue gas desulphurisation) centre of excellence team in Essen, Germany, with the local support of Hamon Asian offices.
Hamon won this contract thanks to the technical excellence of its FGD team in Essen (Hamon Enviroserv) and the commercial efforts of the Asian hub set up during 2012 in Korea and Vietnam. It is the second contract that Hamon has secured since it focused its APC unit on Asia. For the record, Hamon has won a USD 12 million contract for the supply of two ESP's (Electrostatic Precipitators) for a 2x600 MW green field coal fired boiler build by PetroVietnam in Thai Bin in Q4 2012.

Slumber Party Massacre II (Deborah Brock, 1987)

Amy is SUPER hot. She even uses the same guitar strap that I do (along with Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick), so she's in good company.
I think you captured the essence of the film's appeal. As I put it, it's the "girl's just wanna have fun" aspect, with the fashions and the hanging out with the chickadees and what have you.
DRESS-UP MONTAGE FU YOU FUCKERS! - March 29, 2011 at 2:35 AM

Hilarious how you added the "Diane Keaton" tag for this. LOL.
Hey, did you see this article on Elias Koteas?
Poor Crystal Bernard. Thomas Haden Church gets an Oscar nomination, Shaloub gets a boatload of Emmys, Weber and Daly get steady work on hit television shows...and Crystal stars in Meet the Santas. That ain't right. - March 29, 2011 at 7:30 PM

@Thomas Dukenfield: Amy, eh? In case I didn't make it clear enough in my post, I'm more a Sally guy (chicks with acne are hot). But your reasoning is sound. I mean, guitar straps are just as important as jean shorts and scrunchies when it comes to evaluating a persons likability.
"I want to be a Tokyo convertible! I want to have fun with you. I just love going through the motions. I just love going through the motions."
@Té la mà Maria - Reus: *hugs*
@Karim Amir: On top of reminding me of Diane Keaton circa 1977, Kimberly McArthur had an LPGA vibe about her during her band's performance of "Why." She looked like one of those people that hold up the signs that instruct the gallery to please be quiet (a.k.a. shut the fuck up).
I have now, thanks. I like how it describes his character from Some Kind of Wonderful as "the world's friendliest skinhead."
The articles comments section is flooded with stuff about his appearance in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; I had no idea he was in that (I was never a big TMNT fan).
Isn't Crystal Bernard a country singer or something?
Have you seen the Roger Ebert Presents At the Movies? (I watched a bit of it on YouTube.) The guy reminds me of Films R' Priceless (you know, that pompous prat who used to post on RT). - March 29, 2011 at 11:18 PM

After a particularly long, demoralizing day at the grindstone, nothing could've winched up my catatonic external expellant organ quite like finding such a glorious tribute to this proficiently squalid classic. These gals, what with their big hair, illusory bad skin and pastel-imbued rocking ways make me yearn for the days when all those things halfway made perfect sense. And Atanas Ilitch (whose swan song as "security guard" in the TV movie A PRIVATE MATTER left nary a dry eye in the house) couldn't have done more to assure us how vastly obnoxious and impractical it is to combine oversized outdoor and indoor appliances while attempting to entertain and murder people at the same time.
And superb take on BODY DOUBLE!!! I would follow miss fancy buns (and yes, rescue her panties) 'til the cows came home to roost. You'll have to excuse me, though. All this chatter about cut-off denims and corndogs has given me an idea! - March 30, 2011 at 4:03 AM
- Yum-Yum said...
Yet another reference to the old catatonic external expellant organ, also known in no circles whatsoever as the C.E.E.O., in my humble comments section.
You've seen Atanas Ilitch in something besides SPM II? You're hardcore, man.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked my Body Double take.
I hope he (Jake Scully) gave her (Gloria Revelle) panties a good home. I bet that square cop kept them for himself (they're always screwing over pantie advocates). - March 31, 2011 at 12:21 AM

An old friend worked as a sign guy at the PGA tournament at Hilton Head. I was very jealous.

Ask My TF2 Characters!
BANE GORDANO: A tall RED Pyro, who at first glace is just a very slender Heavy in a pyro suit. Bane is from little Italy, NY. He is very shy, and sensitive. He rarely talks, but when he does it is deep and soft. You can feel his voice in the floorboards sometimes. Was once a soldier in the US, Army, but was discharged. The rumor is that he attacked a commanding officer. He sometimes suffers from blackouts. He can either be violent, or seem to be sleepwalking. He enjoys tea. At first glance, he can seem like a brute, but in reality is smarter then one might think.
WILLOW LITTLEBEAR: Willow is an Native American sniper. She was adopted at a young age into a loving home. As a teenager, she was a juvenile delinquent, from Phoenix Arizona. She knows how to care for guns, but is a lowsy shot. She's alright with a knife, but rarely uses it. She favors the huntsmen.
MADELINE PETITE: Madeline grew up in Belgium, but owns a small apartment in Paris. However she lives Primarily on her base. Her dark Past is shrouded in mystery and filled with regret, and revenge! She is a very short and lightweight woman. She mainly stays hidden. She is a strong and fearsome foe until pinned down.
WALTER BATES: Walter is still developing. He is British-American, short, blond, middle aged, and creepy. He is a BLU medic, and someone you can trust, once you get past his … odd personality.
ANGEL: Angel is a sweet, and loving Tentagirl that lives in the sewers of 2fort. Watch your pockets… she tends to get grabby. She is an albino, and can appear ghostly at times. She is known for being fond of engineers, scouts, but careful around demo men. (Once she was mistaken for a sea monster.) and scared of soldiers. (They are very loud!) Angel was created by a medic, who mixed squid DNA with some from the red spy.
OLIVER GORDANO: Bane's older brother, and a BLU scout. He is 48, but still has the youthfulness of a man half his age. He is an okay guy, but still kind of an ass at times.
LILLY GORDANO: Bane, and Oliver's baby sister. Neither of the two know she is a scout, because she is on a different base. She is shy, and really doesn't fit it. However, she will defend herself if needed, but won't go out of her way to hurt anyone.
BUSHIDO KATSU: ((AKA Katsu.)) : A RED spy from Japan, who will give everyone the shivers. If he defends you, it won't be out of affection, but because it's his job, or because he wishes to maintain order. He talks cryptically, if at all. He appears to be cold, and emotionless, and no one has seen any reason to think otherwise.
MOLLY DUFFY: A BLU Demowoman from Ireland. She was born in the Republic of Ireland, but lived much of her life in Northern Ireland. She is a rough and tumble, hot headed lady, always looking for a good time. However, if she suddenly walks off, her short attention span has lost interest in you.
TYRUS GREEN: A RED demoman from Jamaica. He is a smooth and cool dude, always willing to cook up something good. He boasts about the dishes that he learned from his mama. Watch out, if you flirt with him, he'll return it, no matter who you are.
Vincent :This RED medic is a Black Butler, and TF2 cross over. He is a demon medic with Ginger air, apple green eyes, and ashy skin, lightly dotted with pale freckles. He is tall, slender and feminine. He'll flirt with almost everything that moves. Do not make the mistake of thinking he cares about you, or is a nice medic. You won't be able to walk normally for a week; longer if he wants to keep you.
Ida: RED heavy weapons girl. Once Russia's champing for woman's boxing, discovered after getting knocked out. She does not remember her past after that day. For some reason she doesn't like/trust medics.
Johnny Conagher: He's half man, half Cyborg. He was given to Dell Conagher by a mysterious man who seemed to come as quickly as he left. As the boy grew up, he learned the art of engineering, and how to repair himself.
Wendy Day: A Friendly woman, always willing to help out. New at the game, she is young at heart, and doesn't always succeed in her job. She tries her best, and most times gets the job done. However there is a secrete that she tries to keep. Wherever she goes, wolves seem to follow.
Payton Barlow: A BLU Sniper. He's quite, keeps to himself. He's an ace with a gun, but doesn't seem like he's all there. It almost seems like he's wandered out of an old western, or in the delusion that he is a rogue cowboy.
Hans Huber: A German soldier. Hans, is either an failure of an Ex-Nazi, or thinks that he was. He really isn't a threat unless you're facing him on the battle field. If you so much as hint that he is suspicious, he'll most likely proclaim, loudly, that he was never a nazi, and to stay out of his room. However, the truth of Han's past is a mystery, as he generally can't remember what he had for breakfast that morning. Even if he remembers eating. He has a fondness for rock-doves, as he used to have one for a pet, until a three-legged, one eyed cat ate it.
Brute: He's a cyborg splice between heavy and soldier. He is far too over powered. He has a unloaded rocket launcher for an arm, has horrible balance, and tends to get stuck in doorways. He eats about anything he wants, and gets angry if you are too loud or confuse him. He doesn't know how to talk, but somewhat understands English. If you see him, It's best to leave him alone. He doesn't attack unless you confront him, or do something he sees threatening. He doesn't listen to most people, attacks strangers that bother him, but behaves for select people. ((Such as Katsu))
Ask me anything.

Here's my Handy-Dandy Carpenter working his magic....
He does good work, huh? I love how he even added moulding to the tiny area on the side.
Here is the finished moulding project pre-wallpaper. I had debated about painting the moulding the same green as the cabs,
but I kinda liked the crisp white. The trim in my breakfast area is white, so I got to thinking....hmmmmm
I visited my local wallpaper store, and found this awesome plaid which incorporated all the colors. I don't think I could have found a more perfect paper. I decided to cut a small piece and
experiment with one area. Remember when I said I let my house "talk to me?"
Happy Discovering a New Facet of Simple Design....Barb

So glad that they're building something new.

First skatepark I ever went to.

I'm so psyched, it wont be open for at least another month but I'm gonna hit that shit up non-stop. I'm gonna be first one in line for a membership...it is right between where I work and where I live. :P

Captured on film and digitally by wildlife photographer, make that Wolf Photographer, Monty Sloan, this site shall provide the ultimate resource for images of the wolf. In both color and artistic black and white, photographic prints are available which depict everything from beautiful portraits to hunting, howling, numerous social interactions and of course wolf pups. Greetings from Monty!As you can see, we have been busy working on a major upgrade to the website. There may be a few glitches here and there so we would appreciate any help finding issues. And as always, suggestions and comments about the site are always welcome. My goal is to add many more photos and other wolf related goodies here. I've also made some important changes both on the storefront side and on the logistic side. For example, I now have a new and really cool 12 color Canon Pro-1 printer I purchased in 2012. Now print orders can be filled faster as printing can be done in house. Having to stock pile thousands of prints, or having to make a special order for prints not in stock, often delayed filling an order for weeks... Please enter your search criteria or select a category from the left to begin browsing our site. For those who know the wolves of Wolf Park, you an also search for a wolf's name to find photos of your favorite animal! New Photos |

Repercussions of Hamilton becoming an Angel
Sure, the Phillies were intrigued by Josh Hamilton. But the sense from front office officials was his price would never sink to a level with which they were comfortable.

Repercussions of Hamilton becoming an Angel
Matt Gelb, Inquirer Staff Writer
Sure, the Phillies were intrigued by Josh Hamilton. But the sense from front office officials was his price would never sink to a level with which they were comfortable. That sentiment was vindicated Thursday when the Los Angeles Angels reportedly agreed to a five-year, $125 million contract with Hamilton.
The aftershocks will rattle throughout baseball, and Philadelphia is included. The top corner outfielder is off the market; Nick Swisher and Cody Ross could soon follow. The Phillies are wary of offering more than three guaranteed years to any player above 30. Both Swisher and Ross are fits on paper, but not yet in reality.
Now, with Texas scorned by Hamilton and needing some sort of offensive addition, they could enter the market for Swisher or Ross. That would drive their prices up. They could also pursue first baseman Adam LaRoche, formerly of the Nationals, to fill a hole.
The Angels have a surplus of offensive pieces, which could lead to a trade of Peter Bourjos or Mark Trumbo. The timing is not great for the Phillies, who have long coveted Bourjos and may have had him valued above Ben Revere. ESPN.com reported Trumbo will not be made available in trade talks.
Even if there was a possible match there, the Phllies have already exercised almost all of their trade chips. Catcher Sebastian Valle is one remaining piece. There is some pitching depth, but it is slimmer after Vance Worley and Trevor May were dealt.
If the Rangers bid for Swisher or Ross, that could drive Ruben Amaro Jr. to improve his club through pitching additions because the offensive market is prohibitive. The GM has said he wants a "low-risk, high-reward" pitcher to be his fifth starter. There are better options out there and Amaro has money to spend.
Ryan Dempster is off the board after signing a two-year, $26.5 million contract with Boston. Anibal Sanchez, Kyle Lohse, Edwin Jackson and Shaun Marcum are the top available starters.
Hamilton was the white whale, the one "difference-maker" on the market, as Ruben Amaro Jr. said. But with so much money tied into long-term contracts with players older than 30, the Phillies were merely gazing this time around.

Spend the money on pitching. the_anti_negadelphian- That's what I'm thinking. Get a good 8th inning guy. Get one or two starting pitchers. Ride your pitching to the trade deadline. Give the young guys a chance to hit without being yanked all over the place. s

- I agree except that Rollins isn't that expensive at 11 million. It's one reason I thought trading Lee made sense. Halladay should be gone after 2013 but you wait -- they'll extend him if he has a good year even if there are warning signs of age all over the place.
Since they've decided to stick with pitching you have to hope they can ride it. The alternative is to give up. As a fan, I just can't give up in December.

New Incase for Andy Warhol Spring '13 Collection
Incase and The Andy Warhol Foundation are proud to release a new series of cases for iPhone 5 in the Incase for Andy Warhol Collection. Available today, the eight-piece collection consists of four distinct designs from Warhol's body of work completed in the 1960s. For Spring 2013, the Warhol Snap Cases feature creations derived from his experimental film works and cultural events of the period as well as vibrant reinterpretations of some of the artist's signature pieces.
Warhol was known for choosing subject matter relevant to pop culture events. In 1963, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa made its debut in the US, leading to widespread media coverage and attention for the painting and the museums that housed it. Warhol made the painting the subject of a series of early silkscreen paintings that year. The work selected for the Mona Lisa Snap Case showcases Warhol's affinity for color and serial repetition, a technique demonstrated throughout Warhol's oeuvre.
The 1960s were also a time when Warhol began exploring film as a medium for his art. The Kiss Snap Case features an image taken from a screenprint on plexiglass based on frames from Warhol's 1963 film Kiss.
The intense colors of Warhol's 1964 Flowers silkscreen are instantly recognizable as signature Warhol. Utilizing a picture of hibiscus blossoms taken from a photography magazine, he extensively modified the original, cropping the image, moving flowers and removing details to emphasize contrast. For the iPhone 5 issue of the Flowers Snap Case, new colors bring a fresh interpretation to the art while respecting the artist's intent.
Warhol's hand-drawn image of an early 1900s telephone (1961) reminds us of the enduring nature of telephone technology, which still takes primacy today even with modern advancements in personal communication. Fluorescent hues give the design a Warhol-appropriate pop art treatment for a fun and playful look.

Now Available: Shepard Fairey Snap Cases for iPhone 5
We are proud to release a new range of iPhone 5 cases as the newest additions to the Incase for Shepard Fairey Collection. Available today, the 10-piece series features eight different designs from one of the world's most influential street artists, joining a complete offering of bags and products for MacBook, iPad and iPod touch in the collection.
As a cultural provocateur, social critic and artist, Fairey's striking illustrations have created some of the most enduring cultural memes in modern times. For Spring 2013, our signature Snap Case serves as a canvas for some of Fairey's most recognizable creations. The Icon Stencil design is emblazoned with the now infamous OBEY GIANT image that changed the way people view art contextualized by their surroundings, while black and white photographs of real world OBEY GIANT sightings in San Francisco, New York and Hong Kong are the foundations for the Street Scene Snap Case.
The Obedience design is a reinterpretation of classic mid-century propaganda offering social commentary on consumption and control. The Peace Goddess, subject of numerous wall mural installations by Fairey, graces the Incase Snap Case evoking feelings of strength and serenity. The Spring collection of Incase for Shepard Fairey also includes bold ornamental designs like Floral Vine and Star Gear featuring the artist's signature emblem.
The Shepard Fairey Snap Cases for iPhone 5 are available now in our webstore.

To submit a question contact Democratic Services on 01594 812625 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. All questions must be submitted in writing at least two working days prior to the meeting. Minutes: The following question was received from Mrs Joyce Moss on behalf of Friends of the Boar. Given the fact that the Forestry Commission has been shooting wild boar without any real idea of the numbers of boar in the Forest, thereby, we believe, devastating the herd and since the Forestry Commission have said that they are happy to allow the Council and Verderers to consider recommending a future ideal population size for the boar in the Forest, would Councillors consider asking the Forestry Commission to revise the number of boar allowed in the Forest considerably upwards from 90, for the good of our wild boar who are a unique tourist attraction and for the good of the Forest as a whole? Answer In January 2009 the Council's Community Scrutiny Committee compiled a task group to consider issues surrounding wild boar within the Forest of Dean. The task group met on 5 occasions and presented its final report on 18 June 2009 where it was agreed that: The Forest of Dean Community Scrutiny and Review Committee support the Forestry Commission in taking responsibility as the main landowner within the Forest of Dean to effectively manage wild boar and boar-like animals where such animals might create potential risk and menace. The committee believe the number of boar should be controlled at a level slightly less than that in existence at this present time, but more importantly, at a level not to cause damage or harm to the forest and visitors to the forest. The committee recognise that a number of boar could be beneficial to biodiversity and tourism and suggest that all such animals are encouraged to remain in the wooded areas of the forest. This continues to form the basis of Council policy. The Scrutiny Committee continue to receive reports from the Forestry Commission every 6 months and to monitor the situation. Mrs Moss asked the following supplementary question: Because of the unique nature of the boar in the Forest of Dean including the 'Beechenhurst six'. Does the Scrutiny Committee feel that the subsequent increase in Wild Boar in the Forest of Dean would bring more tourism and much needed jobs to the area ? The chairman confirmed that a written answer to the question would be supplied within 10 days. |

He said that the committee could make a decision at the May meeting. |
Forestry Commission boar strategy update Kevin Stannard, Forestry Commission, to present the annual update on the strategy. Minutes: Cllr Burford welcomed Kevin Stannard, Forestry Commission and invited him to present an update on the boar strategy. Kevin Stannard made the following points in his update:
Cllr Burford asked if the Boar Management Strategy document could be put on the Council's website. Cllr Martin asked how the boar were counted. Kevin Stannard said that the method used was quite scientific and the Forest was mapped with transects that covered all of the habitat and crop types. A vehicle with two seats on it and night vision equipment were used by the Forest Rangers. All the data was then logged and sent of for analysis. Cllr Martin asked that if the estimated number of boar was 300/400 was there any impact on other animals. Kevin Stannard replied by saying that there did not appear to be any impact on other animals at the moment and he didn't think that any species would be unduly affected until the boar figure reached 1000 animals or more. He said that the boar numbers did need to be controlled and information from Europe would help in providing more details. The chairman asked if the Forestry Commission were consulting with the council over boar numbers. Kevin Stannard confirmed that a view from the council on whether to change advice from 2009 would be helpful and some public consultation but the Verderers would also be ... view the full minutes text for item 7. |
Question and answer session with the Head of Paid service and Strategic Director The committee to ask questions of the Head of Paid Service and the Strategic Director. Minutes: Cllr O'Neill asked the Directors if they had regular meetings with staff reps and did they discuss pay controls, change to offices and morale. The Head of Paid Service replied and confirmed that there was regular staff interaction. A staff briefing was held three times a year where staff were split into groups making it easier for everyone to feed back any concerns. There were also regular meetings with trade unions. A staff forum was held every six weeks with staff representatives from each group who feed in any comments or concerns that staff may have and answers are given back to the teams. A staff survey had not been done this year but there had been some work on stress management. She said that she had received feedback from staff that they had been receiving information in a fair way. Cllr O'Neill said that he had seen a big van in Gloucester advertising the green waste service in the Forest of Dean and wondered what the cost of this was, asking if it was included in the waste budget. The Strategic Director confirmed that this was the case and was to alert people to the changes in green waste collection. He said that he would supply the committee with a break down of costs and it was included in the budget. Cllr Martin asked the Directors what the three biggest challenges were for the future. The Head of Paid Service said that the new service plans included major pieces of work over the next twelve months. Her three biggest areas were the Go Shared Services and making sure that the savings were delivered in October this year. Leisure Management, which would be a considerable amount of work and the overview of budget savings and how they are delivered. The Strategic Director said that his three challenges were the rollout of the new waste service, the planning and relocation of the office accommodation with the police moving in and the support for the Olympic torch relay when it comes into the district. He also mentioned the on-going challenge of cutting costs in the council. He explained that the Olympic Torch would enter Gloucestershire on day 6 of its journey starting in Cheltenham on 23 May then moving into Gloucester City on 24 May and through Maisemore into Hartpury and the villages of Corse and Staunton before heading to Ledbury. Answering a question the Strategic Director confirmed that 11,500 licences had been sold for garden waste so far. Cllr Smart asked about the Military Covenant? The Strategic Director said that 1 Rifles had secured a grant and the council was the accountable body for this grant. A free day out at Go Ape was being planned for young people but the details of how this would work and who would benefit are still being discussed.

Review of the new scrutiny arrangements PDF 119 KB To consider report LD.406 regarding the changes to scrutiny arrangements that were implemented in May 2012. Additional documents:
Minutes: The Group Manager Legal and Democratic introduced report LD.406. She said that Full Council had introduced the new scrutiny arrangements last year and they had now been in place for 9 months. She said that the report included details of the panels which allowed members to get involved in more depth in different areas. The system seemed to working well at the moment and it was felt that no major changes should be made until the work of the Governance Options Task Group had finished and made its recommendation to Full Council as this could affect the scrutiny arrangements for the council. Cllr Thomson said that he felt the panels were working well and there always seemed to be other members who were interested in the topics being discussed. Cllr Burford said that any non-executive member was welcome to come and contribute to the panel meetings. He mentioned that some members had asked if the panels should be politically balanced. Cllr Martin was said that she felt that it was unnecessary for the panels to be politically balanced and in her opinion the inclusive nature of Scrutiny should allow all members to be included. Cllr Molyneux said that it was not that important to be politically balanced but if a panel was very imbalanced there might be problems in getting the recommendations through at a Full Council meeting. He did not think that the panels should be used for any political or opposition role but did not feel they should be too prescribed. Cllr Martin said that the panel recommendations would always go back to the main Strategic Overview and Scrutiny Committee which was politically balanced so hopefully that would help. Cllr Smart said that she was in favour of taking Scrutiny meetings out into the community but the costs should be monitored. The chairman said that he was happy that dates were now being set for the panels and publicised and scrutiny was a way for members to get involved. RESOLVED to note report LD.406 |
