Handsome hors d'oeuvres, exquisite entrees, mouth-watering mains and delectable desserts were the focus for the "Wild Wetls" fundraising dinner last Wednesday night. Governors Lodge Hotel Resort hosted the event which was organised by the Norfolk Island Food Festival committee, and with great support from the local community (as always) the night was a huge success!
The concept was to bring four of Norfolk Island's top chefs together under one roof to present a truly memorable Norfolk evening to raise funds and assist the Food Festival. Each of the chefs were asked to prepare a dish which reflects their restaurant, their style of cooking and to utilise the amazing, fresh produce available here on Norfolk Island.
Guests arrived on the red carpet and sipped their champagne inside the beautifully decorated functions area. The night air was fresh but the gas heaters were blazing and kept the well dressed women comfortably warm. It was so nice to see everyone make an effort in what they chose to wear… even the men!
The night kicked off with Hors d'oeuvres by chef Boyd from Norfolk Blue Restaurant. Norfolk Blue Beef degustation was artistically arranged on platters forming a tasting smorgasbord. Each delicate morsel showcased the Norfolk Blue beef and satisfied the palate.
Entree was created by chef Joel from Hilli Restaurant & Café. Joel carefully arranged gravlax beetroot & Vodka cured Trumpeter and served it with micro herbs, horseradish snow and rye bread. What a delight it was to eat such a fresh and tasty dish.
The Main course by chef Tiko from Baileys Restaurant was very generous and absolutely scrumptious. Farmer Lou's pork belly was served with sautéed scallops, dried porcini mushroom risotto, apple purée, red wine jus, and local greens cleverly rolled into what has now been nicknamed a "Tiko" roll.
The most creative course was Dessert by chef Rachel. Tipsy Tintoela is a Tahitian Vanilla Bavarois accompanied by a Cherry Guava Crush served with crisp Brandy Snap and Tuille Wafer. This is a dish you need to see to appreciate with what looks like a woman upside-down with wafer legs sticking out of a brandy snap skirt.
Fortunately Archie Bigg was in attendance at the Wild Wetls dinner and Archie got up and read a poem he had written about Rachel's dessert. Archie wrote the poem after he had eaten "Tipsy Tintoela" at a government house dinner years ago. This is the first time Archie has read this poem in public and we are all please that he did because it was entertaining, humorous and made us appreciate the dessert we had just eaten even more.
Sorrel Wilby kept the night flowing as MC extraordinaire and she even dressed the part in her Wild Wetls print dress. Special thanks to Cristina McRitchie for taking thousands of photos throughout the evening of everything from the food, to the crowd, to all of the work happening behind the scenes in the kitchen. Ryan Dixon strummed and serenaded us as we enjoyed our meals, creating a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. And the meals just kept appearing at the right time thanks to the chefs and the staff at Governors Lodge.
Boyd from Norfolk Blue Restaurant, Joel from Hilli Restaurant, Tiko from Baileys Restaurant & Rachel – thank you for the magnificent meals you prepared and for all working together in the kitchen to make this such a fabulous and memorable event.

Kris Jenner calls Rob K`s diabetes diagnosis `blessing in disguise`
Washington D.C., Jan. 21 (ANI): Kris Jenner recently said that Rob Kardashian's diabetes diagnosis is a blessing in disguise.
The 60-year-old TV personality said that it was almost a relief because then his 28-year-old son can take all the steps, adding that it was like a godsend, reports People magazine.
Kardashian was hospitalised shortly after Christmas for stomach problems and was diagnosed with diabetes.
Jenner said what happens next is up to her son as there is a difference between promising to follow a healthy path and actually following a health path. (ANI)

Ann Arbor, MI — March 5, 2014 — A clinical assistant professor of dental hygiene at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry has won a major award from the American Dental Education Association for her work that revealed the difficulty in assessing the ability of students to use their critical thinking skills when taking examinations with multiple choice questions.
Martha McComas will receive the Olav Alvares Award during the organization's annual meeting this month in San Antonio. The award recognizes the work of a junior author whose research has been published in ADEA's print and online magazine, the Journal of Dental Education. Her article was published last April.
In her research, McComas asked 50 senior-year dental hygiene students to take a five-part test with questions similar to those on a national board examination for dental hygienists. The test was designed as a Modified Objective Structured Clinical Examination that attempted to evaluate critical thinking skills among dental hygiene students.
The test utilized a patient case and included 24 multiple choice questions, one fill-in-the-blank question, and a section where students were instructed to develop a dental hygiene treatment plan. Students had 40 minutes to complete the multiple choice questions and 20 minutes to complete the fill-in-the-blank test and then develop a patient treatment plan
"The results of the tests showed that multiple choice questions do not accurately assess a student's critical thinking skills," McComas said. "However, asking the students to design a dental hygiene treatment plan did show us if a student was able to 'put it all together' which, ultimately, is critical thinking."
McComas also said that "as much as instructors don't like giving and grading written examinations, answers on written tests are probably a truer reflection of a student's critical thinking skills than answers on a multiple choice test. Written tests also allow instructors to see where gaps are in the education and learning process, which encourages curriculum change and innovation."

Skiers are persnickety. We claim to be for the environment, but sometimes our quest for glory comes with a price. We want high performance tools of the trade, which are oftentimes at odds with environmental responsibility. Not to worry… in the case with some SCARPA ski boots, choosing high performance gear may also be the right call for the environment.
In 2009, SCARPA introduced its Planet Friendly program, which marked our most comprehensive effort at building footwear while minimizing our environmental impact.
From reducing carbon footprint, energy consumption, or after-life impact, we are working with our suppliers to use materials and technologies to help us make footwear that really is lower-impact product.
Part of that initiative puts Pebax Rnew® in a growing number of our ski boots, delivering the same performance characteristics of traditional Pebax, but constructed with Castor plant oil instead of petroleum.
SCARPA customers want the best performance possible. While Polyurethane (PU) has been a standard among Alpine boot manufacturers, many boot makers, including SCARPA, have specifically chosen the superior performance characteristics of Pebax plastic. It's lighter and stronger than PU—ideal for touring purposes, a virtue among backcountry skiers. And its performance also isn't as affected by temperature swings, meaning your boots don't get softer or stiffer as temps rise or fall. In other words, it's consistent. And it's the best material to build ski boots out of if you want light, stiff boots that retain a consistent feel of a wide range of temperatures.
Progressive design technologies are allowing SCARPA to put Rnew throughout its various collections. Rnew is used in the new Mobe, a hard-charging freeride boot that also tours, as well as the Maestrale and Gea, the market's new lightweight four-buckle AT boot leaders. In the telemark world, the upgraded and T1 and T1 women, the T2 Eco, as well as the redesigned TJ Kid's tele boot all use Rnew – 12 ski boots in total, more than 50% of our 2010 collection.
Because Rnew is made with 90% Castor plant oil, it requires 29 percent less fossil fuel and puts out 32% fewer emissions in the process of bringing Rnew from raw to useable material. SCARPA has tested Rnew on prototypes for a year and a half to verify its performance. Lab and field-testing shows Rnew performs on par with regular Pebax, and, additionally, it retains its stiffness over a slightly wider temperature range.
SCARPA customers now get the best possible boot for their intended goals and cut down on carbon emissions. Making the right call has never been easier.

Rauner supports concept, doesn't say how he'll vote
Wednesday, Jun 25, 2014
* So, I take it, then, that he's a "No" vote this November?…
He has also yet to specify what those "pro-business reforms" actually would be. Would his proposed local option "right to work" law be part of that? We don't know.

From Alfred Newton 27 October 1865
Magdalene College, Cambridge.
27 Oct. 1865—
My dear Sir,
I venture to hope you will kindly excuse my troubling you with a request—
There seems every probability of a Professorship of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy being established in this University—in which case I intend to offer myself as a Candidate for the post—1 But since I took my degree I have been so much away—having for nine years held the Travelling Fellowship of this College2—that I am known personally to but very few of the resident Masters of Arts & others who form the Elective body—3 Many of my friends therefore think that my chance of success will be materially strengthened by testimonials from a few of the most eminent naturalists— I therefore take the liberty of asking whether you will do me the great favour of giving me a recommendation—
You yourself can testify in the most remarkable degree to the enormous advantages which travelling in distant and varied foreign countries confers upon a student of Zoology—and nearly all my voyages and journeys have been made with special Zoological objects—4 You also have honoured with your notice some few of the various contributions I have been able to make to scientific journals—5
I consequently hope you may be able to speak favourably of my qualifications for the important office to which I aspire—
I sincerely trust that whether from health or any other reason this letter may cause you no inconvenience to answer—and I remain | With very deep respect | Yours truly | Alfred Newton
Charles Darwin Esqre. F.R.S. | &c. &c. &c.
Asks CD to support his candidacy for Professorship of Zoology at Cambridge. Since he has spent many years travelling, he is not well enough known at the University.

Project Description
Completed in June 2009, the Pinetop Fire Station #110 in Pinetop, Ariz., functions as fire station and administrative location for the Pinetop Fire Department of Navajo County. In keeping with the town's standing as a popular summer resort and second home for Arizona desert residents, the station maintains the rustic charm of its surroundings. To achieve the desired look, architect Perlman Design Group (Scottsdale, Ariz.) selected Metal Sales to provide a sustainable roof for the new facility. Metal Sales supplied more than 3,000 square feet (279 square meters) of 24-gauge Vertical Seam roof panels in Burnished Slate with a PVDF (Kynar 500) finish. The standing-seam roof helps to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing home for the firefighters and reserve personnel.
Perlman Design Group, Scottsdale, Ariz., served as the architect; Core Construction, Phoenix, was the builder; Sidewinder Supply, Show Low, Ariz., was the distributor; Quality First Roofing, Pinetop, was the installer.

Great stuff happening, folks! The dynamic, maverick organ virtuoso Cameron Carpenter is appearing next weekend with the Pittsburgh Symphony, playing his own transcription of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, on an organ of his own design. Music Director Manfred Honeck will then lead the PIttsburgh Symphony in Shostakovich's incredible Tenth Symphony.
Following the performance on Friday, April 15, there is a FUSE-like after-party (which is included in the cost of your ticket) where I'll be performing a DJ set — mixing Carpenter's music and the Shostakovich symphony with pop, electronica and hip-hop.
Got started on the mix today, and here is a preview —mixing a track from Carpenter's latest album If You Could Read My Mind (the 10th variation of DuPré's Variations on a Noel for Organ) with Kanye West's "Jesus Walks":
Learn more about the concert or get your tickets (because you do not want to miss this) at pittsburghsymphony.org/carpenter.

This past week was full of questions about how to study vocabulary for words you can not find associations to. Vocabulary can be such a huge part of comprehension. Here are a few ideas I have in mind.
1. Word pictures
2. Foldables
4.Greek and Latin Roots
5. Background information
1. Word pictures are great for those visual artistic kids. By drawing a picture that represents the word, they remember it. Visual learners will remember the picture when they see the word. Other kiddos might do well with acting words out. Create a game of charades with vocabulary words. Take turns acting words out. These kiddos that this work for are usually kinesthetic learners and will remember the words by how they were interpreted in action.
2. Foldables– Dinah Zike is the big name in foldables, however they have been around every since I can remember. I love using this one in my classes by asking kiddos to set up their foldable before we start with the words. A foldable is a sheet of paper folded so that a word can be on top and by lifting the fold, the description or definition or picture is revealed. During a lesson, I might have students stop at points to draw a picture or write a definition of their word. To see an example of a foldable, go here: http://www.csun.edu/~krowlands/Content/Academic_Resources/Foldables/Basic%20Foldables.pdf
3. Prefixes and Suffixes– Learn the list of prefixes and suffixes. These are great for figuring out unknown words. Even create a foldable to learn these. Talk about a cheat sheet. These can be that cheat sheet you always wanted. http://www.prefixsuffix.com/rootchart.php
4. Greek and Latin Roots- Roots can be the most fun. Take different greek or latin roots and combine them with prefixes or suffixes to make silly words that do not make any sense. While someone can spend years learning these, it is worth your efforts and time. Go here to see a full list: https://www.msu.edu/~defores1/gre/roots/gre_rts_afx1.htm
5. Background information– Probably the most important part of learning vocabulary for Science or Social Studies is understanding the background information. What is the setting of this vocabulary? Are we talking about the civil war? Do we understand what the setting was like for the civil war? It is only then that we may understand some of the vocabulary that originated from the time period. Don't isolate vocabulary words. Make them meaningful and a part of a bigger picture. If you don't, they won't stick. We all want them to stick…forever.

Recording on the network shareIf I understand correctly, currently (WebOS 4.0), it's possible to record TV shows on the flash drive only. Could you implement recording on the network share (Windows share, samba or similar)? I have small NAS so it would be great if I could use it's storage for this purpose. Regards, Jaroslav
Question: Pop up messages on TV:wired LAN disconnected, then Network connectedFor the past few months I am getting intermittent pop up messages on my TV. 1st one says Wired LAN disconnected, then another message pops up and says Network connected. I have been calling my cable carrier Spectrum and Techs have been here and can't find problem. Also I went to check my wifi on my TV and my user name and connections aren't showing up all of a sudden. This TV was just purchased May 2017. What is going on and how to resolve!!
Network connection issues. LG Content store doesn't connect.I did a refresh of my LG TV 3 days ago. Sold the old LG 47" 3D LED TV and bought new 55" LG Super UltraHD TV with WebOS. I believe, the biggest con of this new TV is WebOS. Its totally frustrating. Sorry for WebOS fans. It isn't that smart and functional they way it looks. The problem I having since 3 days and being a network engineer, I am unable to solve a network issue myself which is even more frustrating for me. Ok, let me explain the issue. The TV when installed was connected to LAN cable to my router which has direct internet connection. The TV works and none of the apps were working. Basically TV wasn't able to connect to internet via apps. If i open web browser, it was working fine with all webpages showing correctly. I'll skip the part of contacting LG support which was useless. All troubleshooting steps like resetting, formatting, changing time zone, location, region was done but no luck. Finally I connected the TV via mobile hotspot and it just worked which gave me the clue that some ports are being blocked by my ISP or router. My internet setup is this way. Internet cable from ISP -> ISP Modem (can do NAT and work as router) - WiFi Router (NAT, DHCP, etc) -> all LAN clients. I put my LG TV in DMZ, opened all ports, etc but no luck. Then I converted my ISP modem as router and connected the LG TV directly to it and it started working..!!! My WiFi Router is TP-Link Archer C7 and I was using stock firmware. Thought it was creating issues and I installed DD-WRT, Open-WRT but no luck at all. The apps which were installed in TV when TV was connected directly to modem are still working fine. Youtube, Plex, Netflix, etc all are working but when I open LG Content Store, it just refuses to load. I am not sure what wrong my TP-Link router is doing. There is something wrong with the LG TV content store. If it requires to open ports, then I would like to know which ones. Sorry for the long port, may be my frustration of 3 days with no luck.!!
Question: Network error 7I just bought a new tv Lg 60UJ651V and it gives a message Network Error 7
Popup messages: Wired Lan cable disconnected / Wired network is connectedI recently updated the firmware on my LG43UH610V. Now I constantly get "Wired Lan cable disconnected" / "Wired network is connected" messages even while watching a video file from my NAS. The TV is connected and using the network while getting these messages. It has always been on a fixed IP address on the LAN.

AUSTIN — Texas wide receiver Jordan Shipley has been granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA.
Shipley missed the 2004 and 2005 seasons because of knee and hamstring injuries. He is the top receiver for the No. 3 Longhorns with 79 catches for 982 yards and 11 touchdowns.
The third-team AP All-American also returned a punt and a kickoff for TDs this season, becoming just the fourth Longhorn to have both in a career.
"It is definitely a blessing to be able to play one more season at Texas," Shipley said in a statement released by the school Monday night.

I am running a PC clone with 2GB RAM, NVidia GEForce 7900 GT, WinXP Pro SP3 and Kaspersky antivirus software -- also an ASUS laptop with 2.5GB RAM, NVidia GEForce 8400M, WinXP Pro SP3 and Kaspersky antivirus. This problem appears identically on both machines.
I did a full install of Syberia 1, which ran successfully, then tried to start the game. The brown splash screen appears, then the program quits with no message at all.
I tried installing in Win95 compatibility mode and turning off all resident spyware checking and antivirus checking, with the same result. Don't know what else to try.
Hope you can help, because this seems like just my type of game. Thank you very much.

Most credit managers have a general idea about the bankruptcy process but few use it consistently and effectively.
This is borne out by the relatively small number of bankruptcy actions initiated each year.
If used correctly, bankruptcy is by far the most powerful tool when collecting money from an individual.
Although there are many different grounds for initiating bankruptcy action, for practical purposes, there is only one, which is that you must have a judgment for over $5,000.
Thus, the starting point is that the original debt must be for approximately $4,000. By adding legal costs on the judgment and interest prior to the judgment, this will generally get you over the $5,000 mark (depending on the applicable state).
The very first step in the process should be to investigate assets held by the debtor. What you are looking for is equity in real estate. By carrying out searches, doing a specific title search and then a Google search on the property, it is not too difficult to, easily and quickly, ascertain the amount of equity the debtor has in a particular property.
Once this is established, that file should be ear-marked for preferential treatment. Under no circumstances, accept any installment offers, because this may make it difficult to bring bankruptcy action later. On those files, insist on payment in full only.
Bankruptcy action is carried out in two stages. Stage One, issue and service of the Notice, is relatively cheap. By way of example, Mendelsons Lawyers offers a Fixed Price Fully Inclusive cost for Stage One, including GST of just below $2,000.
Our success rate on Stage One is approximately 80% (success being defined as acceptance of a sum our client is satisfied with).
After service of the Notice, the debtor has 21 days within which to either pay the debt in full or to reach a settlement with the creditor. If he does neither, then after the 21 day period, he is deemed to have committed an act of bankruptcy.
Our policy is to make no contact with the debtor during the 21 day period. If he does pay the debt during that period, he is entitled to pay it without paying any additional costs for the Notice. However, after the 21 day period, it is possible to enter in to an installment arrangement and to provide that the debtor is also liable for legal costs.
For the 20% of so of cases where a Notice is not satisfied, a decision then needs to be taken on whether or not to proceed to Stage Two (Creditor's Petition). As long as your initial investigations have been carried out, this will not be a difficult decision, because you would not normally have reached this point, unless you are satisfied that the debtor has sufficient equity in real estate in order to meet all or most of the debt, together with costs.
Stage Two is costlier. By way of example, Mendelsons Lawyers charges $4,120 (if the creditor is an individual) and $5,755 (if the creditor is a company). These costs are fully inclusive of all disbursements and include GST.
Often the most difficult debtors will wait until they are served with a Petition. However, once they are served, if they have assets to lose, they will begin negotiations. It may be necessary to get to the first hearing date and to then negotiate an adjournment (with a cost order against the debtor). At this stage, the heat is really on, and in most cases, a satisfactory result will be negotiated, without making the debtor bankrupt.
In approximately 10% of the cases, which proceed to Stage Two, the debtor will prove impossible to negotiate with and an order for bankruptcy will be made. As long as there are sufficient assets available, the appointed trustee will usually be able to cover his costs, pay the petitioning creditors costs and there will be something left over for the creditors.
The first allocation of funds from the estate is to pay the petitioning creditor's legal costs. If bankruptcy is such a powerful and effective tool, why is it not used more often? My answer to that question is that law firms which do not actively practice in bankruptcy work are reluctant to promote it, because they lack the expertise to handle it. It is specialised work which should only be handled by a lawyer experienced in it. A secondary reason is that there is often a perception by creditors that their reputation will be harmed, if they are known to take bankruptcy action. This reason has simply no basis. It is not of interest to programs like A Current Affair that bankruptcy action is undertaken. It is an everyday, perfectly valid legal enforcement process.

Why are member states are discriminating against the anti-discrimination directive.
19/11/2009 - Eurobarometer recently published a survey that once again showed that there is a serious problem of discrimination across Europe. One in six people said they had personally experienced discrimination in the past year; 58% of Europeans considered that prejudice in relation to age was widespread in their country, while 53% mentioned disability. For those who fail to be moved by statistics, consider this: in 2009 alone, we saw Roma communities being shot at in Hungary, stoned in Ireland and evicted by force in Italy; and we saw Lithuania's parliament 'protecting' its minors by adopting a law that bans public information about homosexuality, putting homosexuality on a par with images of mutilated bodies or physical violence.
Though such episodes are disturbing, non-governmental organizations have until now felt that some progress was being made on the EU level. Fighting discrimination has been one of the few areas of social policy about which the EU could be proud: were it not for EU instruments such as the race and employment directives, there would still be no protection in most member states today. But race and employment cover only some aspects of discrimination. That is why, in July 2008, the European Commission proposed a new anti-discrimination directive that, if passed, would give all citizens basic protection in other major areas of life, such as housing, education and healthcare.

5ive's Continuum Research ProjectThe Hemophiliac Dream
Released 2002 on Tortuga
Reviewed by kwd, 22/02/2005ce
Not exactly a prolific display, is it?
But fear not, m'dears. The juices are 100% pure, and the result - a pulverising 24-minute quiet-loud-LOUDER instrumental – is a magnificent blast of heavy psychedelia for the Noughties. Shamelessly plundering vintage Pink Floyd, the Continuum magpies have nabbed 'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun' and filtered it through Mogwai's template of increasing intensity, 'My Father, My King'…
…which means this most definitely isn't a super-quick hit. Nope, The Hemophiliac Dream is one of those long, slow-burning types that starts quietly, all spacey fx and cosmic haze, and gradually builds into something far more visceral. A fashionably late appearance by the key riff starts the Main Event, rumbling tribal percussion pours petrol on the dust-dry beginnings, and then it's just a case of waiting waiting waiting for the stray spark that floats down to set the whole thing off…
…which – of course - it does. BIG TIME. The Rage is unleashed via pounding, brink-of-sanity stickwork and torrents of rough, fuzzed-up riffing that is waaaaaay more reckless than a mere three-piece has any right to be… talk about turbulent, this lot almost disintegrate in a massive, Blackpool-sized Big One of a freefall. In short, it rocks. Long.
Then they ease off the savagery, coast back to the beginning and do it all over again, the crazy mofos. Two heavyweight trips to the heart of the sun – what else do you want? A barbed interpretation by James Plotkin? Well, bugger me if they haven't thrown that in as a mangled remix. Sweet Dreams.

Basking Ridge, NJ -- Avaya has announced it will provide both wired and wireless communications technologies to NBC...
January 29, 2002
Basking Ridge, NJ — Avaya has announced it will provide both wired and wireless communications technologies to NBC Olympics, Inc. to support communications needs during NBC's coverage of the Salt Lake City games in February.
Based on Avaya Enterprise Class IP Solutions (ECLIPS), the new technology broadens the capabilities of the communications network the company provided as part of an eight-year contract that began with the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
The new technology will enable NBC Olympics to extend its voice and data network over a single wide area network (WAN) from the NBC Olympics broadcasting centre into five local hotels. Additionally, NBC Olympics' mobile staff will have "one-number reachability" via instantaneous links between their desktop phones and cell phones.
For the Salt Lake City games, the Avaya communications server used in Sydney has been moved and updated with the latest ECLIPS software, making it possible for NBC Olympics to use public-switched networks, the Internet, intranets, extranets or Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).
Newly added for this year's games is Avaya's R300 Remote Office Communicator, which brings centralized communications server features (everything available at NBC Olympics' primary location) over a single WAN facility to smaller, remote locations.
Also new is the EC500 Extension to Cellular, a mobility application that extends the incoming calling features of ECLIPS servers to the public cellular network, enabling employees to be reached through a single business telephone number.

LITTLE ROCK — An attorney for the secretary of state's office said Thursday the office has cleared the way for three ballot measures referred to voters by the Legislature to appear on the November ballot, despite confusion over who is responsible for writing the popular names for the measures.
LITTLE ROCK — An attorney for the secretary of state's office said Thursday the office has cleared the way for three ballot measures referred to voters by the Legislature to appear on the November ballot, despite confusion over who is responsible for writing the popular names for the measures.
The confusion arose because Act 1413 of 2013, which requires paid canvassers to be registered with the state and to undergo state-prescribed training, includes a sort section that takes the authority of writing popular names for ballot measures referred by the Legislature away from the attorney general's office but does not specify who is to write them.
Martha Adcock, general counsel for the secretary of state's office, said Thursday in testimony before the House and Senate committees on state agencies and governmental affairs that because legislative activity on the three ballot measures was completed before the passage of Act 1413, legislators likely assumed that the attorney general would write the popular names.
Adcock said the attorney general's office has provided the secretary of state's office with popular names for the three ballot measures. She said the secretary of state's office will use the bill titles of the measures as their ballot titles, as has been done in the past.
Sen. Eddie Joe Williams, R-Cabot, chairman of the Senate stage agencies panel, thanked Adcock for a "good solution to what could be a very complicated issue."
Aaron Sadler, a spokesman for Attorney General Dustin McDaniel, told reporters the attorney general's office first learned of the proposed solution Thursday morning and needed time to review it.
Adcock told reporters the approach that the secretary of state's office came up with is only for the three measures in question. She said the same problem should not arise in future years.
"If you look at what the new law indicates, it indicates (to the Legislature) 'When you pass these out, put in a popular name and a ballot title,'" she said. "So for anything that's passed out from '15 on, with the new law you have a remedy and you have a solution. It's just for these three specific ones that are kind of caught in limbo."
Adcock told the panel previously that confusion over the law raised the possibility of court challenges. That possibility remains, she told reporters Thursday.
"Somebody can always sue. This is no guarantee that there wouldn't be litigation," she said.
One of the ballot measures would raise the threshold for signatures required before a group collecting signatures in support of a ballot initiative could qualify for a "cure" period to correct deficiencies. Another would allow the Legislature to require state agencies to submit proposed rules for legislative review and approval.
A third proposal would, among other things, ban corporate and union gifts to political campaigns and ban most gifts to public officials. It also would allow legislators to serve up to 16 years and increase the minimum period between when a legislator leaves office and becomes a lobbyist from one year to two years.
The citizens' group Regnat Populus had set aside a ballot proposal on ethics reform in deference to the ethics proposal referred by the Legislature, but last week the group said it would revive its push to get its measure on the ballot because of the uncertainty surrounding Act 1413.
David Couch, co-chairman of Regnat Populus, attended Thursday's hearing and told reporters later he would review the secretary of state's proposal.
"If I'm not sure that it's going to work, we'll probably go ahead and start gathering signatures," he said.
Regnat Populus' proposal would ban lobbyists from giving gifts to legislators, prohibit direct corporate and union contributions to candidates for public office and double the one-year "cooling-off" period that a lawmaker must wait after leaving office before becoming a lobbyist.

Buddhist Philosophy: Essential Readings
William Edelglass, Jay Garfield
Oxford University Press, Apr 21, 2009 - Philosophy - 480 pages
The Buddhist philosophical tradition is vast, internally diverse, and comprises texts written in a variety of canonical languages. It is hence often difficult for those with training in Western philosophy who wish to approach this tradition for the first time to know where to start, and difficult for those who wish to introduce and teach courses in Buddhist philosophy to find suitable textbooks that adequately represent the diversity of the tradition, expose students to important primary texts in reliable translations, that contextualize those texts, and that foreground specifically philosophical issues. Buddhist Philosophy fills that lacuna. It collects important philosophical texts from each major Buddhist tradition. Each text is translated and introduced by a recognized authority in Buddhist studies. Each introduction sets the text in context and introduces the philosophical issues it addresses and arguments it presents, providing a useful and authoritative guide to reading and to teaching the text. The volume is organized into topical sections that reflect the way that Western philosophers think about the structure of the discipline, and each section is introduced by an essay explaining Buddhist approaches to that subject matter, and the place of the texts collected in that section in the enterprise. This volume is an ideal single text for an intermediate or advanced course in Buddhist philosophy, and makes this tradition immediately accessible to the philosopher or student versed in Western philosophy coming to Buddhism for the first time. It is also ideal for the scholar or student of Buddhist studies who is interested specifically in the philosophical dimensions of the Buddhist tradition.

One of our biggest challenges as a 501(c)(3) is creating awareness and promoting what it is we do here at EWI. Our vision is to "advance our customers' manufacturing competitiveness through innovation in joining and allied technologies." How we accomplish this is by sharing our technical skills and know-how to deliver innovative technical solutions for our members.
But how do people know about EWI and what we can do… Now there in lies the awareness problem.
First there is the awareness challenge actually inside of EWI… We have experts in many different welding, adhesion, manufacturing, design, modeling and inspection disciplines. Do all our Associates truly understand everything we can deliver to our customers or do they just know what they know? To help alleviate this potential gap, we've done internal "lunch and learns" to educate our already highly educated Associates on our capabilities outside their own areas of expertise. One of the great benefits of working with EWI is our technical and industry depth and breadth… But all of us need to understand that breadth in order to share that value with our members.
Second, there is the challenge of promoting our world leading expertise to our members. We've found that our members know us for what we've done for them already, not what we have the capability to do for them. To help resolve this, we've introduced new member orientation and have expanded that to include "old" members as well. This has proven to be a great method of starting the personal partnership with our members and driving value to the individuals who understand all that EWI membership offers.
Finally, and most challenging, is creating awareness of EWI outside our group of passionate members. We currently have over 240 member companies in a wide variety of industries. Almost without exception, as new members come on board, they state something to the effect of "I wish I had known about you guys sooner" or "I could have really used your help before 'this' became a problem". And if I had a nickel for the amount of times I've heard the expression that EWI is the "best kept secret", I'd be driving something other than a scooter.
Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber have tremendous awareness, and I would humbly argue they have less ability to help US manufacturing than our Associates, yet somehow they combine for over 53,000,000 followers on The Twitter (I know it's not THE Twitter… I just say that to bug my kids) and 98,000,000 "likes" on Facebook (we have 49 followers and 50 likes, respectively… no… I didn't forget to add the zeros). So with US manufacturing poised to make a resurgence, EWI is being outliked and followed by LG and JB by more than the insignificant amount of 1,525,253%. We should all be a little embarrassed.
As we don't have a big (er… any) awareness campaign budget, I would ask you to PLEASE SHARE THIS BLOG ABOUT EWI. Email it, Facebook it, LinkedIn, or use The Twitter. A perfectly suitable comment attached with the link to the blog might be "EWI is helping drive the resurgence of US manufacturing" or "See how EWI is helping manufacturers innovate" or "Lady Gaga Loves US Manufacturing". Exactly what we do (at least a nice summary of it) to support US manufacturing can be found here using the technologies found here.
What's in it for me you ask… So if this blog becomes the EWI blog with the most unique views in the next 3 weeks (trust me it won't be a stretch) or we are able to crack the century mark in likes and followers, then I will randomly select a person who adds a comment below stating why you feel creating a US manufacturing resurgence is critical to the US economy. The winner will receive either a $50 gift card or $50 donated in her/his name to their favorite charity (your choice). If things go really well, I'll personally throw in another $50 for a second winner. Contest ends Friday, August 17th. EWI employees or family are not eligible (sorry Jenny) .
Thanks for your help in getting the EWI word out. I (Jim Tighe) can be reached at email@example.com, follow me on The Twitter @EWI_innovations, Like us on Facebook "EWIinnovation" or you can even call me on a rotary phone at 614.688.5064.

I thought today I'd talk about racing and romance. I love both. Someone told me the other day that racing and romance have nothing in common.
I beg to differ.
The rush as the cars fly by, the rush as the hero takes the heroine's hand for the first time. It's all about the high octane emotions involved. Tell me you've never felt your heart skip a beat when you're watching a romantic comedy or a drama or whatever, and the hero and heroine kiss for the first time. It's magic. It's electric. It's that rush.
Racing is much the same. There's the adrenaline high of rolling out onto the track ready to conquer. The thrill of hearing forty-three cars come to life, ready to duke it out. The passing, the brushing the wall, the razor thin separation as they come to the stripe for the last time. Whew! It's exciting.
And then there's the trophy queens and the draw of the suit. The trophy queens add that little bit of sexuality—like a sport with toned bodies really needs sex appeal—and female interest for male fans. They want to see her skin tight body in that uniform.
Same goes for the girls. There are a lot of women who get a charge out of a guy in a suit or uniform...any uniform. Maybe the fire suits aren't skin tight, but they show just enough to get the imagination going. Kinda like that old jeans commercial...what's under those fire suits? I'm game to finding out.
Now how does this translate into a parallel between racing and romance?
In romance, we want the hero to be a conquering, no-holds-barred, alpha. Take charge, snag the heroine's heart, and command the situation. If he's wearing a snazzy suit, then bonus! The heroine must stand behind her man in the clinch. She must be willing to put him in his place when he's wrong and give him a run for his money in bed. In my case, I want her to be realistic, too. I want them to go through thick and thin, have some hot monkey sex, swing from a few chandeliers, and come out swinging against the antagonist. They come out stronger on the other side of the conflict, more in love than ever.
I want the same from my drivers. I want them to come out swinging every time they hit the track. Bring their A game to every chance, and to have that person standing beside them, no matter how crappy their finish was.
So I look at it this way, racing has adrenaline highs, sweeping outcomes, nail biting moments, hot guys in uniforms, and thrills. Romance? Adrenaline highs in suspense stories, sweeping outcomes like when the heroine thinks she's not in love with the hero but really is, nail biting moments—will they make it out of that cave alive or will they drown, but drown together?—hot guys in uniforms—isn't that what a cop story is for?—and thrills.
And you thought I'd never make the comparison. *g* I've watched way too much racing, read way too many romance novels, and thought about this for a lot longer than necessary. What do you think? I'm sure you have an opinion. Am I wrong? Change my point of view? Come on. Let me know. I'm dying to hear from you.

We had a fun project a few weeks ago, when we got a call from Mr. Williams in Fayetteville, GA. He initially said they had a slab that had settled, it was out in the open. When it rains, they have to use sump pumps and leaf blowers to get the puddled water out of the way. Who knew it was at Fun Junction USA (formerly Dixieland Fun Park)!
The slab, that the scrambler sits on, had settled and was holding water when it rains. We see this problem often. After time, the soil under a slab may settle and not provide the good base, as initially planned. Sometimes erosion has a part to play, but in this case, with fairly flat ground, this problem most likely happened from constant vibrations, from the ride, and settlement over time.
For great family entertainment, stop by this summer and visit these hard working folks in Fayetteville, GA

Palin Pall - Family is NOT off-limits
Obama might say Sarah Palin's family is off-limits for discussion, but it isn't for me.
I am SO distressed about McCain's choice of a running-mate, the thought of having someone that anti-choice ("pro-life") in our White House makes me nauseous. People tend to hide their true beliefs from the public eye, so if these are her public beliefs, what are her behind-closed-doors thoughts?! I am stunned that the Republicans can even consider someone so polarized on this giant issue.
Palin believes in Abstinance-Only Education. Poking one's head into the statistics of the states that ascribe to this "method" will demonstrate, quite bluntly, the failure of Abstinence-Only Education. In fact, Palin's own 17-year old daughter Bristol is Exhibit A that AOE, especially when that education is only received in the home, is a dismal failure.
Palin has even said she would be against abortion for her own daughter, even if she were raped. I agree with the writer that it is frightening that she would not permit her (then) 14-year old daughter the choice of whether to carry the baby or not.
This not-common-at-all woman puffs out her mama breasts that she gave birth to a baby with Down Syndrome even though she knew that fact prenatally. News flash! MOST couples make that choice!
But, let's ask how pro-family she is when she ruptures her membranes 5000 miles away from home, finishes her speech, flies the 8 hours home - in labor - before having her labor augmented - and then is back on the job 3 days later. Who's nursing the baby? (Rumor is she is, but how long will that continue if she is on the campaign trail and helping to run a country?) Having that many kids is hard enough, but having a new baby with Down Syndrome presents unique challenges for families to address and overcome. How is Sarah Palin going to make sure her son gets the best of care?
And who let her get on a plane at 8 months pregnant? And who let her fly with ruptured membranes? What doctor (or midwife) okay'd her to fly for 8 hours on a plane when she was already technically in labor? Who was monitoring this baby with Down Syndrome? What if he'd been born on the plane and needed life support? Didn't Ms. Pro-Life think about her child's needs before allowing the cabin door to close behind her? What was in her mind that she didn't go have the baby while still in Texas?
I ask these questions not because I just want to pick on the GOP, but because if this woman might be our President one day, what kind of judgement will she have regarding the lives of the American people if she can't even think clearly about the life inside her uterus?
And if she can't see her own hypocrisy when it comes to Bristol, I really just don't know where this woman's mind is. It isn't in reality.
I've chosen to stay in the birthing/mommy arena and not delve into the ghastly record she has with oil companies and (her lack of) foreign policy (experience) or even her extreme Pentacostal ("Bible-believing" [literally!]) religion that certainly condemns homosexuals, masturbation and -gasp- premarital sex. Oh, that's right, it's okay to have premarital sex as long as you don't consider abortion and you do plan on marrying the teen father. I forgot. Someone must have told God the new convoluted rules.
Now we all need to be so schooled.

Sometimes, I think I'm really a kid. Not in a good way, either. Tonight, I had a moment that made me feel about 11, again; pooor, pooooor, me. Ugh.
I really, really hate some of the things that I can't do, or rather, the fact that I can't do them at the moment. I know, the grown-up in me says, "That's why the surgery, so you'll be able to, again." Well, I know that too, that's why I did it- but tonight, there was a fire call; and since Jeremy decided to come home for a surprise visit, when the pager went off, he and Rob got to jump for shoes, jackets, keys and run- not unusual, except that dammit, I'm supposed to be going too.
I know, I know- it's been two bloody years since I've been able to, I'm used to it, I should be past that bitter pang, but sometimes, I'm not. I also know that with any luck at all, I will be running with them again- and I look forward to that, impatiently, but sensibly.
There's no guarantee, of course, that I will ever be able to do the firefighting thing again, which would be sad, if the case. But, I can be content then, even if I can't play, knowing that I did all that I could to be able to get back. So, why does it still hit me sometimes, so hard, that I get this almost physical feeling of longing, that I am letting my guys and gals down, because I'm not there to do my part?
Because, as I said, sometimes I'm a spoiled kid, inside. The feeling I had tonight, was very simple: I want what I want, and I want it RIGHT NOW!
Okay, I'm better, the feeling was fleeting. And, I'm even more determined to follow my Doc's instructions precisely, so that my recovery has max chance of being optimum. So I'll stop whining for tonight, but fair warning- I'm on the disabled list for the recovery for several weeks to come, and that means that it's likely you'll be having to listen to me whine now and then, for a bit. I'll do my best to keep them to a minimum though.

Luiz ruled out of Champions League quarter-finals
David Luiz will miss both legs of Paris Saint-Germain's UEFA Champions League quarter-final with Barcelona due to a thigh injury.
The Brazilian was substituted after 34 minutes during PSG's 3-2 victory over Marseille in Ligue 1 on Sunday, and now faces around a month out of action.
Coach Laurent Blanc said on Tuesday: "David Luiz will be sidelined for four weeks and Thiago Motta for 10 days following their injuries against Marseille.
"It will take us time to deal with the injuries we have. Nevertheless, we will play to win all our matches."
Blanc also has concerns over Serge Aurier, Edinson Cavani, Lucas and Zlatan Ibrahimovic ahead of a busy month for PSG.
The French champions play Saint-Etienne in the Coupe de France semi-final on Wednesday, before then taking on Bastia in the Coupe de la Ligue final on Saturday.
The home leg of their last-eight clash with Barca comes on April 15, before the return game against Lionel Messi and co six days later.

MORe rom - A new addition to the list of custom roms for Samsung Galaxy Pop/Mini GT-S5570 smartphone is quite a unique rom developed by Godell from xda-forums. This rom is quite unique than other roms in the sense that the changes are not on the design and look rather than on the kernel and thus improving the speed and peformance of this custom rom. MORe custom rom is much like emanon rom but, without any changes to interface and only changes being are including overclocking features and some tweaks for performance improvements. You can consider this rom as a stock rom with overclock features.
So, you might be thinking if this rom is worth giving a try. My suggestion to you is : 'Go for this rom if you are looking for a stock rom that can be overclocked, has root access and/or can run init.d scripts including a2sd scripts for solving low internal memory problems --which is a major problem in low end devices like Galaxy Mini, Galaxy Ace and others'. Below is an overview of changelog of this rom. Also, this rom is supposed to have further updates so it is worth trying.
- Custom Kernel to support ext partitions and overclock features with governors.
- Can be overclocked upto 864 MHz
- Root access; superuser, busybox and su binary pre-installed.
- S2E pre-installed for installing applications to sd-ext.
- DSP Manager, OpenVPN Settings, etc included.
- Latest Google Apps Included.
- Advance Power Menu (with many options).
- Ice Cream Sandwich transitions and boot-animation included.
- Init.d tweaks support (including tweaks from emanon rom) - for running scripts at boot.
- RTL Fix (in next version/update).
Note : If you are using RZ Recovery, choose Install Menu>>Select update-godell-lwmkpo-signed.zip you downloaded>>Select Wipe Data and Wipe Cache>>Choose Install update-godell-lwmkpo-signed.zip and wait till the rom is flashed.
8. Wait till the rom is flashed/installed on your device. Once done, Wipe Data and Wipe cache from recovery menu.
Updates :
- update-MORe-rtl-multilang-signed.zip : Fix for RTL languages and many other languages added. Flash it in Clockwork mod recovery as above, wipe cache only; do a data wipe if you are stuck at android logo.
P.S. If you like this rom then don't forget to thank the developer at this thread on xda-developers forum. You can request any features or report a bug either at that thread or in the comments below.

As the St George's Cathedral public artwork, Ascalon, nears completion, Marcus Canning answers some searching questions the production experience.
As Ascalon approaches completion, do you feel that the dreamt artwork is becoming a reality, or has it evolved since the original design was submitted?
The artwork was more imagined than planned. Translating it into a feasible plan for production has been quite a journey. Our structural engineers Capital House have been our back-bone at every step of the way and change in direction.
We've shifted materials, fabrication techniques, and some of the fabricators we thought we would be working with along the way in order for it to happen, but it's happened, and is closer to the original design than we could have hoped.
This has only been possible through getting really adventurous with the industries, fabrication techniques and people we finally chose to work with.
The billow form is being sculpted by CNC router robots in a boat builder's factory and fabricated using hybrid composite methodologies. It will be a grand formal statement in monumental lightness of being, which will resonate dynamically with the hard edged concrete presence of the faceted black mass forms around its base. These are now being fabricated in steel by the same firm that is doing most of the steel work on the new Perth Arena. They are currently assembled throughout their workshop and have the appearance of war machines.
In what ways has the process challenged you artistically, spiritually, intellectually?
All the major artistic decisions were made before we were awarded the commission. Since then, it's been all about finding ways to make an unbuildable design a reality. This has been a bit of a brain-bender for all involved, but however mundane, delivering a large project on time, on budget, to brief is a challenge faced daily by anyone involved in building anything, and a work like this is no different.
Unlike an arena, railway, or new performing arts centre, this was always a project on a fixed budget with no options for blow-out. Most of the hurdles have been about this. We operate in a world primarily defined by a base material reality. Moments of true artistic and spiritual liberation are rare, and certainly need to be put on the back-burner once you're dealing with the make-it-happen phase of a work like this.
I am certainly saving my spiritual reflections for post-project wrap when I get to spend quality time with Ascalon along with the rest of Perth.
How have you managed Christian's long-distance involvement in the project?
Once the designs were wrapped with Christian and Eldad in NYC, the project has been managed entirely on the ground in Perth. This was always how it was going to roll, and overseeing the fabrication of the different elements to the work across five different factories scattered along the coast form Perth to Mandurah has been part of the adventure.
I get to see the actual work at every stage of it's build, Christian will get the surreal experience of seeing it fully formed when when it gets installed on site.
Given what you know of public response to the original concept, how would you expect the realized artwork to impact upon the public consciousness?
I'm not even sure what the impact will be on my consciousness at this stage! Having a design that you have only ever seen in virtual space, and as a 30cm high model translated directly into an 18m high work is a truly bizarre experience. The scale of the work keeps surprising me as it is coming together. I think its presence is going to be truly awesome and will hopefully generate some real buzz and wonder.
With Ascalon on one side of the terrace and the new psychedelic light show running nightly across the facade of Council House on the other, I think we might have a new epicentre of energy in Perth by the end of 2010. It might just draw people to it like moths to a bright light!

Politicians vs Bristol – Fight The Cuts
Think it should be none of the above? Then join us in the streets this Saturday & Tuesday!
The fight against cuts has been a long and tough one, but we can't afford to let up. Not when peoples' livelihoods, well-being, and very lives depend on it. It won't end with the upcoming protests (see below for details). In fact, it will need to step up a gear in the months afterwards, if it is to have any impact.
The government in Westminster continues to demand cuts to essential services, still telling the same old lie that it is for 'the sake of the economy' or to lower the national debt. The reality of the past seven years says otherwise. Councillors across the country have spoken about being 'anti-austerity', but so far have only put their careers and the easy life first, passing on the cuts, regardless of which party they belong to.
In reality, these cuts are an attack on working class and vulnerable people across the country. It's about giving less of the wealth that we produced to us – whether we receive it in our wage packets, our benefits, or our access to state services – and giving more of it to the few at the top. Privatisation goes hand-in-hand with this, creating yet more profit for the millionaires, and it's all the easier to implement when services are already stretched to breaking point.
So, what can we do about it?
First off, join the protests ! Continue reading
Bristol Joins Actions Against Byron
This weekend, responding to a call out from ourselves and SolFed, forty people gathered to picket the Bristol branch of Byron Burgers.
We wanted to show our opposition to their owner's cowardly & selfish decision to lay a trap for their own workers, rather than risk a fine. By joining in with the UK wide campaign we aim to hurt Byron Burgers economically and show our solidarity with ALL workers – regardless of where they are from.
The demonstration certainly had an impact, the entire time we were present (7pm-9pm on a Saturday night!) only one group of people went into the chain, and there were only a handful of deliveries. Whilst it was a 'little' empty inside, the entire front of the shop was taken up with protesters, who were spilling out either side in front of the neighboring (closed) shops. The response from passers by was largely positive, many reminded of the news story and talking about it as they went past after seeing us. We handed out hundreds of leaflets, only stopping near the end when we simply ran out. Meanwhile, the trouble makers down in Wessex Solidarity Continue reading
Demo Against Byron Burgers This Saturday
The Byron Burgers chain called dozens of their London staff to a 'health and safety' briefing. Instead of facing a mundane meeting, immigration officers burst into the room detaining everyone present for hours, and deporting 35 people.
After the story broke in Spanish language newspaper El Iberico a number of groups and unions including Byron workers have called for action against Byron, with hundreds taking part across the country. These workers had been at Byron for up to 4 years, helping to earn millions in profits for the investment fund owners and their offshore companies. These same owners were quick to jump at the chance to throw them under the bus to save their own skins, ruining peoples lives to avoid a fine.
We need to stand together with ALL workers, no matter where they are from. This is how we improve the lives of ordinary people, by fighting back against the corporate owners who drive down wages, dodge taxes and rip us off daily.
Meet: Outside Bristol Museum 6.45pm on Saturday 6th
Demo: From 7pm outside Byron Burgers, 62 Queens Road on the Triangle Continue reading
Rebellious Weekend in Bristol – Bookfair & May Day !
This Saturday see the eighth incarnation of the Bristol Anarchist Bookfair! For those who haven't been before, it involves over a thousand people listening to talks and participating in workshops from a variety authors, editors, activists, historians and local and nationwide campaign groups. It will cover everything from Mental Health & the NHS, to a world without borders, money and prisons via environmental campaigning and the housing struggle. There will also be an Art Area (and an exhibit straight out of Dismaland), kids space, vegan cafe and over 50 stalls with all the books, badges, T shirts, Patches, zines, guides, papers and information you could want!
There will also be a fundraising after party hosted with Bristol LadDIYfest kicking off at 7.30pm at the Stag & Hounds and featuring bands and DJs playing Folk, Punk, Hip Hop & Party Anthems.
On Sunday we will be celebrating May Day! The first of May is a to often forgotten celebration of international workers struggles, it is where we can remember those who have fought and died for a better world, and where we can stand in solidarity with each other as we continue that fight today.
This year local Trade Unions have organised a March from Castle Park followed by a rally at Trinity. We will be joining in as part of the Radical Workers Bloc! We need as many people to join us to help bring a message of radical resistance to proceedings – and to help participate in an action we have planned on the day. Just look for the Red & Black flags on the day. The meeting point is 11.30am in Castle Park, with the march setting off shortly after.
If this isn't enough for you, there's also a protest against George Ferguson and the policy of housing shortage and homelessness that he has presided over. Its kicking off outside the Tobacco Factory at 5.30pm on Saturday and marching to college green.
All this after a week that has seen both Library and NHS workers out on strike and demonstrating, and a fortnight that has seen action taken against the flogging off of much-needed council homes.
Rebellion is in the air of Bristol again!
Trust Doctors, Not Tories – Support the BMA!
On Sunday the union representing Junior doctors, the British Medical Association, held its second march through Bristol ahead of strike action this Wednesday morning. Once again Bristol AFed and scores of other supporters marched with them, and the response from others in the streets was universally positive.
The BMA's message is simple, the government is attempting to push through ideologically driven changes to their contracts that will negatively affect not only junior doctors but the level of care they are capable of providing. Junior Doctors can already be called upon to work 70 hour weeks, often in extremely challenging and stressful roles and at nights and weekends. The Tories are seeking not only to cut their pay (whilst they continue to be burdened with an average £100,000 in university debt) but weaken their contracts, forcing unsafe working patterns on essential NHS staff. Continue reading
The Tories Are Back in, Here Are Your Choices (Or: Ten Ways They Will Screw Us over and How We Can Fight Back)
Cameron remains in Downing Street, now with a majority (having successfully cannibalized his former LibDem partners). A lot of people are understandably depressed by this, and now to top it all off Farage hasn't even resigned. FFS politics, give us a break. We don't have much say in what policies they try and force upon us – after all we had 'Vote Tory for capitalism and austerity' and 'Vote Labour for the same, only a bit less and our heart isn't really in it'. What we DO have a say in, is how we react to them.
Reaction One: Voter Apathy
Non voters are often accused of apathy, but if after going to the ballot on the 7th you are planning to sit back and do nothing for five years than you are being truly apathetic. Of course the same is true if 'not voting' is the sum total of your protest against the system. Maybe to kill time before the next general election you can try to change Labour from the inside, or help the Greens get half a dozen MPs early next decade. If you're really inspired maybe you could put your energy into reforming how we vote for our 'representatives'. Although many countries use other systems and they still aren't socialist utopias yet either. Lets get one thing clear though, would Ed Milliband be screwing us over aswell? Hell yes.
Reaction Two: Fight for What We Have, Fight for What We Need
We are often presented a doctored version of history. One where the oppressed asked the government nicely for reforms, where they appealed to their ruler's reason and conscience, or simply voted in nicer leaders.
A closer inspection reveals a very different narrative, where everything we have was fought for tooth and nail. Where workers faced down the army for the right to have the evening off rather than work 14 hour days, where women bombed pavilions and learnt martial arts before they were recognised as capable of decisions, where people faced down battalions of police who were trying to force a fascist march through the east end of London. It is the latter telling of history that should inform how we react today.
Everything we have we fought for, and everything we fought for they want back. As soon as we stop fighting – in our work places, in our communities, in the streets and in the fields – we will lose everything. The good news? If you want to take action there are plenty ways to do it. Here are just a few based on some Tory policies.
1. The Tories will ruin the lives of disabled people Not without a fight from the likes of DPAC! Continue reading
