"It's truly an eye-opening book and a fascinating look at how much police work depends on a system no one wants to talk about, as ironic as that may be. I can't imagine anyone devoted to police procedurals wouldn't find it engrossing."
-Barnes and Noble
"Alexandra Natapoff has written analytically and creatively about informants and their handlers."
-California Lawyer
"Natapoff has written a compelling and searing book about snitching. It not only comprehensively describes the problem, but offers sharp, clear, and unambiguous solutions. If we really want to address the legal and moral implications of snitching, every judge, defense lawyer, prosecutor, and police officer should read this book."
-Charles J. Ogletree, Jr.,Jesse Climenko Professor of Law, Harvard Law School, director of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice
"Superb. . . . A searing indictment of how the secretive dynamics of informing have helped corrupt inner city life in America, and a deep scholarly analysis of how our legal rules contribute to this problem and can be reformed to mitigate it. This brilliantly original book is . . . wise and ruthlessly honest in its understanding of the street level practices of informant-reliance."
-Robert Weisberg,Edwin E. Huddleson, Jr. Professor of Law, Stanford Law School, founder and director of the Stanford Center for Criminal Justice
"Natapoff does a good job of explaining the law that governs the use of informants, and of describing how the all-too-rare regulatory schemes, such as FBI guidelines, work. One would expect this much from any law professor; Natapoff, however, goes much further. One of the truly impressive contributions of the book comes in her explanation of the effects of widespread use of informants for the criminal justice system, our social structures, and our democracy... If it simply described [the] dramatic downsides in order to properly tally both benefits and risks of informant use, Snitching would be a very successful book. But to her credit, Natapoff does more than just catalogue these problems. She gives us a comprehensive picture of what we must do to make the use of informants acceptable within our criminal justice system... Alexandra Natapoff had produced a useful, timely, and important book. Snitching should find a place in every law school course looking at legal issues in the criminal justice arena, and on the syllabi of every university course in criminal justice that aims to give students a realistic and nuanced view of how the system really works. Natapoff's observations, as fair as they are, may not sit well with those committed to getting the bad guys at any cost. But that is the book's real gift: showing us what that cost is, and suggesting ways of constructing a system of criminal justice that accurately mirrors the values to which we aspire."-Criminal Justice
"As [Natapoff] reveals in this scrupulously researched and forcefully argued new book, our system of rewarding criminal snitches for information is a 'game without rules,' played almost entirely in the shadows and off the books. . . . Snitching is a highly readable, provocative argument for reforming a system that allows our machines of criminal prosecution to commit near-criminal acts of compromise."
"If there is one form of communication that criminals universally condemn, it is snitching. Yet the use of criminal informants is everywhere in the American legal system, says Alexandra Natapoff."
-The Chronicle Review
"[T]hought-provoking. Natapoff…offers the most up-to-date and trenchant analysis of 'snitching' in the criminal justice system [and]…insightful proposals for reform…. Th[is] impressive text make[s] important substantive and theoretical contributions to the scholarship on race, class, crime, and the legal system."-Du Bois Review
"Vital for understanding the legal process and the moral standard of law enforcement. An excellent read and a harsh glimpse at what the future might hold for the fabric of our justice system. A must have for the urban reader."
-Immortal Technique,hip hop artist and President of Viper Records

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Little did we know what nightmare was about to unfold in the coming weeks.
I will start by describing the estimate process which we were not used to as it is not everyday that one moves across Country with their entire household.
I had asked Moving Services of America to have somebody come out to take a look at the items and give us a binding estimate as we did not want any surprises when arriving in Ft Lauderdale.
Sherry the consulatant assuerd me that she had been in the business for many years and due to the detailed, itemised list of goods to be moved, there was no need for that.
She assured me that the estimate more than covered the items and actually included about 300 lbs additional space in the event we had forgotten something.
This sounded good and I gave her the required deposit by card over the phone.
We were supposed to be moving on 3/18/2011 and on the Monday 03/14 I received a phone call asking us if we could possibly move the date up to 03/16 as they had a truck going that way and did not want to come back for our items as this would add to their costs.
I mentioned that our hotel was booked and paid for with the set dates and that would mean that we would need to pay for another 2 days which we had not planned.
I was told they would get the extra 2 days by discounting our move by 2 nights accomodation and so we agreed to accomodate the moving comppany with the 03/16 date.
They arrived as agreed on 3/16 and loaded the items of furniture without making any comments on anything that was not according to their agreement.
We then discovered that they were going to be adding some significant costs to the estimate for some shrink warap which they said was norm al if we did not want our furniture scratched.
We agreed to this and they added another $400 for some shrink wrap and a couple of card board boxes which they tore open and wrapped around some items.
Once loaded up they exclaimed that they were running late for their next pick up and asked me to quickly sign the list of items thay had on the inventory.
I did not want to delay them by reading through everything and initialed and signed where they pointed to.
I also provided them with a bank certified check for the full balance of the entire move except for the new costs of the wrapping materials which they said we could pay for when they delivered the items.
They left after asking for a tip, before I had a chance to give them one, which I had planned to do anyway.
We left on our cross Country road trip, with the 2 cats and other personal items in the SUV.
The entire trip with 2 cats and stopping off often to medicate one of the cats who was sick at the time took us 8 days, which was not one we would like to do again under the circumstances.
After about 3 days of travel we decided to check our email at a hotel guest computer and were shocked at what we found in an email to us from the moving company.
They had quoted us for items which they assured us would not exceed 6,000 lbs and suddenly have an adjusted final price of about $3,100 extra proclaiming that the new weight was now over 10,000 lbs.
This was absurd as we only had a 1 bedroom/ living room /patio set / dining room set and boxes we packed ourselves of kitchen pots,pans, etc.
There were no appliances except for a washer/dryer, that's about it!
We immediately called and were unable to reach the consultant but left numerous messages for her to call back.
We did call another very expensive reputable moving company and spoke to one of their senior managers who have us some sound advice.
He said that an entire 4 bedroom home would not usually come out to over 10,000 lbs and certainly not our 1,343 sf town home.
He adised us to insist on a weigh receipt relfecting the new weight and insist they deliver the furniture for the agreed to price plus 10% if our contract was not binding and that we could battle the rest out after the delivery.
We emailed the consultant that did not return our calls and insisted on the delivery with a copy of the weigh receipt.We adives her that we were very unhappy about this new price after she had ensured us that she was so experienced that they did not need anyone to come out to the home to do the estimate.We did say that we would pay what was required by law which was the additional 10% above their contracted price and then would discuss the balance after we had reviewed their reasoning.
We did get a response which was not what we wanted to hear.
Sherry told us they would not deliver our goods until we paid up the total new amount which was more than double their original quote.
We sited the Federal regulation and insisted they abide by it, but this did not seem to bother them at all.
We were now supposed to have received our delivery on 04/01/2011 and our accomodation at the hotel had run out.It was high season at the hotel in Hollywood FL and the rates were now almost $200/day.
After extensive research work online we discovered a DOT site with all the regulations and contact # to file a complaint.We called and evetually got hold of Mr Dubose in DC who is the only contact person in the entire department that deals with hostage situations that involve moving companies.
We had to fax and email all our paperwork to him and then an official comaplaint would be logged.
We did this in record time after staying up all night makling copies and getting the hotel to assist us with copies, as well as faxes which cost us a lot of money.
The following day the DOT attempted speaking with the company and after a few conversations it was discovered they did not havethe necessary licenses.
He asked for their address and then got the run around and no return phone calls from them.
We in turn had researched the # and address information which we called and gave to DOT.
They had an in field agent go to the registered address to find out that it was a bogus address and belonged to some salons ina strip mall where nobody had even heard of this company.
We really started to panic as they had all our belongings and personal effects which amounted to our entire life in their truck.We did not want them to panic and run as we would never see our goods again, so we tried calling and left messages that we would negotiate a settlement.
The delivery date of 4/1 had come and gone and we were now paying an additional $200/day for the hotel which was not budgeted for.
On 4/5 out of the blue we received a call from them asking if we would do an extra $1,500 and I refused but offered them an extra $700 (take it or leave it).
They said they would call back shortly, which thankfully they did and agreed to deliver the following day, 4/7/2011.
We informed DOT in DC and they had a Federal agent standing by in Ft Lauderdale to observe the truck.
They arrived as agreed with plent of attitute and after getting their bank certified check for the extra money started offloading the furniture.
The agent was parked under a tree taking photos and observing until just before they completed unloading and then presented himself to them.
They really got pissed off and calls were made back and forth for a couple of hours before they resumed the delivery.
Now they really banged the furniture around and dropped boxes, etc.
They refuse to move any furniture to any of the rooms and just shoved a paper under my nose demanding that I sign for the delivery.
We just wanted them gone and signed the papers to get them out of the house.
The Federal agent called us to say that he had followed them to their large rig as they had refused to give him their details of their tractor trailer, since they had transferred the items to a U-Haul truck which was part of the original estimate as the HOA did not allow large rigs in the community.
He did get their information and submitted to DC for their action.
What ever you do, NEVER use this company and warn everybody else that is thinking about moving to avoid them like the plague as they are really just no good RIP-OFF artists.
We are still recovering from this Hostage Situation, both mentally and financially.

I was told to put in a code and I would get clean whites for .99 I would have to use my credit card for shipping and handling.
I was charged before I got the clean whites when I went on line to check my credit card then that's when I noticed that I had been charged $44.00.
When I asked for it to be put back on my credit card they said no, I wasn't able to speak to speak to a supervisor.

On This Page:
Instructors and students can communicate and collaborate using Moodle Forums. Instructors can create discussion topics or, depending on the forum type, allow students to originate topics. Course members can then "post" replies, and "subscribe" if they want to receive an email copy of each post made to a particular forum. You can also watch a video tutorial on this topic (link at right).
Forum Types
There are multiple forum types in Moodle. Some forum types allow only the instructor to start a new topic, and others allow students to start new topics.
Choose the type(s) of forums that make sense for the activities you are asking your students to do:
- Standard forum for general use allows for the "standard" usage of a discussion forum with multiple topics arranged in a threaded conversation. Students may start new topics in this format.
- Standard forum displayed in a blog-like format allows for the "standard" usage of a discussion forum with multiple topics arranged in a "blog" style format with the first post prominent and comments behind a link. Students may start new topics in this format.
- Single simple discussion allows for only one topic started by the instructor. This is best suited for short-term, focused conversations.
- Each person posts one discussion allows each student to only start one new topic or conversation within the forum. Students are not limited in the number of replies they can post within those topics.
- Q and A forum allows an instructor to pose a question to students. Students must post their response or answer before they can view other students' responses.
- The News Forum is a unique forum, automatically created with the course for instructors to post announcements. Comments are not allowed, only instructors and TAs can post to the forum, and all course participants receive an email copy of each post by default.
- Individual student journals: Moodle does not come with a preset option for student journals, but you can set one up using a forum to create either a private journal where only instructors can read student posts, or blog-like individual journals that everyone on the course can read. See Create Student Journals in Moodle.
Add a New Forum to Your Course
- On your Moodle course page, click Turn editing on (top right). Editing icons and links will appear.
- Locate the Topic or Weekly Section where you will add the forum. (If you are using the Collapsed topics format, open the Section.)
- At the bottom-right of the Section, click + Add an activity or resource. The Activity chooser will open.
- In the Activity chooser, select Forum and then click Add. The Adding a new Forum page will open.
- Configure settings for the forum. For more information on these options, see Configure Forum Options (below).
- Click Save and return to course to return to your main course page.
Configure Forum Options
When you add a Forum activity to a Moodle course, you can choose from a number of settings. The first two settings are required; the remaining settings are optional. Click particular headings to view those settings, or Expand all (top right) to view all settings. This section describes each setting.
Forum name (required)
This name displays as a link to the forum on your course page. Use something unique that clearly identifies this forum from other course activities. We also recommend keeping the name short.
Description (required)
Explain the purpose of the forum to your students. For example, you might describe how often students should post, how many posts and replies they should make, and/or the expectations about post content. The Description will be visible to students when they click the forum link.
Display description on course page
Select this option to display the description underneath the assignment link on your course page. (This works best if the description is very concise).
Forum type
Select a forum type from the drop-down menu. The default is Standard forum for general use. See descriptions of Forum Types above.
Attachments and word count
Maximum attachment size
Each attachment cannot exceed this file size. (If a student can attach multiple files, and attaches files at different times, the total can exceed the set size.)
Maximum number of attachments
Each student will be able to upload up to the maximum number of attachments for their submission.
Display word count
This setting specifies whether the word count of each post should be displayed or not.
Subscription and tracking
Subscription mode
Subscription mode is set to Optional subscription by default (recommended). This allows students to choose to subscribe to the forum and receive an email copy of each post made. Other choices are:
- Forced subscription - Everyone is subscribed and cannot unsubscribe (not recommended in most cases).
- Auto subscription - Everyone is subscribed initially but can choose to unsubscribe at any time.
- Subscription disabled - Subscriptions are not allowed.
Read tracking
If enabled, participants can track read and unread posts in the forum and in discussions. By default, this is set to Optional, and forum tracking is controlled by individual users in their Personal Profile. If set to Off, read and unread posts are not tracked.
RSS feed for this activity
RSS (really simple syndication) feeds in Moodle enable people to stay up to date with forum posts. Select Discussions or Posts from the drop-down menu to choose what content will be included in the feed. For more information about RSS feeds in Moodle, see Remote RSS Feeds Block in Moodle.
Number of RSS recent articles
If RSS feed is enabled for this activity, this setting specifies the number of articles (either discussions or posts) to include in the RSS feed. Between 5 and 20 generally acceptable.
Post threshold for blocking
Time period for blocking
This setting limits the number of posts students can make in a period of time. Choose the time period within which to block students from posting from the Time period for blocking drop-down menu.
Post threshold for blocking
If a time period for blocking has been set, this setting specifies the maximum number of posts which a user can post in the given time period.
Post threshold for warning
Students can be warned as they approach the maximum number of posts allowed in a given period. This setting specifies after how many posts they are warned.
Grade category
Select a Category in your gradebook under which you would like the assignment grade to be placed. See Create Grade Categories in Moodle for instructions on how to create a category in your gradebook.
You can grade your students' posts using Ratings. Instructors and TAs can rate each post a student makes, and the ratings are aggregated into a single grade in the gradebook.
Roles with permission to rate
Once the forum activity has been saved, you will be able to see the roles Moodle users must have in order to submit ratings. The list of roles may be amended via the permissions link in the Administration block.
Aggregate type
The aggregate type defines how ratings are combined to form the final grade in the gradebook. Choose from one of the following options in the Aggregate type drop-down menu:
Average of ratings - The mean of all ratings.
Count of ratings - The number of rated items becomes the final grade. Note that the total cannot exceed the maximum grade for the activity.
Maximum - The highest rating becomes the final grade.
Minimum - The smallest rating becomes the final grade.
Sum - All ratings are added together. Note that the total cannot exceed the maximum grade for the activity.
Note: If No ratings is selected, then the activity will not appear in the gradebook.
If an aggregate type has been selected, you may select the type of grading used for this activity. If Scale is chosen, you can then choose the scale from the Scale drop-down menu. If using Point grading, you can then enter the maximum grade available for this activity.
Restrict ratings to items with dates in this range
If this check box is selected, you can set a specific date range during which a post must be made in order to receive a grade.
For more on grading see Grade Forum Contributions in Moodle.
Common Module Settings
Set whether or not an assignment is visible to students. By default, new assignments are set to Show. (This is comparable to using the Hide/show icon for the activity on your course page.)
ID number
Setting an ID number identifies the activity for grade calculation purposes. See Using the Calculator Tool in the Moodle Gradebook.
Group mode, Grouping, Available for group members only
These options let you restrict the assignment to particular groups of students you have already created in Moodle. For more information, see Assign an Activity to a Group or Grouping in Moodle.
Restrict Access
To add restrictions on accessing the activity, click Add restriction. The Add restriction window will open, containing the following options:
- Date. Prevent access until (or from) a specified date and time.
- Grade. Require students to achieve a specified grade.
- User profile. Control access based on fields within the student's profile.
- Restriction set. Add a set of nested restrictions to apply complex logic.
If you have groups in your course, you will see the following additional options:
- Group. Allow only students who belong to a specified group, or all groups.
- Grouping. Allow only students who belong to a group within a specified grouping.
Add a New Topic to a Forum
Depending on the type of forum, students may be able to add topics as soon as the activity is available, or the instructor may need to initiate the discussion by posting a topic. For example, instructors must post a question to a Q & A forum before students can post.
To add a new topic to a forum:
- Click the link to the forum activity (not the edit icon, but the link to open the forum). The Forum page will open, showing the description you provided when you set up the activity. If no topics or posts have been added, you see "There are no discussion topics yet in this forum."
- Click Add a new discussion topic (for a Q & A forum, click Add a new question). The Your new discussion topic page will open.
- Enter a subject and a message (both required).
- If subscription is set to Optional in the forum's settings, you can use the Subscription drop-down menu to choose whether or not to receive email copies of posts made to this forum. (This will affect you, not your students.)
- You may choose to add an attachment.
- Select the Mail now checkbox if you do not want the standard 30-minute delay before subscribers receive an email.
- Click Post to forum to post your message.
- Click Continue to return to the Forum page. Your discussion topic will be listed, and course members will now be able to reply.
- Once replies have been made, click the link to the topic to view replies or add additional replies to the thread. (If read tracking is enabled, the number of unread posts will be indicated and links highlighted.)
Close a Forum and Prevent Further Student Posts
To prevent further student contributions to a forum, change the Permissions for the activity to make it "read-only."
Note: Unlike Restrict access settings, this method of closing a forum does not hide the grade for the activity from students, and allows them to read posts made before the forum closed.
- On your course page, click the link to the Forum. The forum page will open.
- With the forum page open, go to the Administration block and click Permissions (not Check Permissions). The Permissions in Forum screen will open.
- In the Advanced role override drop-down menu, choose Student.
Under the bold heading Activity: Forum, select Prevent for the following:
• Reply to posts
• Start new discussions
Do not change any other permissions.
- Scroll to the bottom of the list of permissions and click Save changes. )Students will immediately lose their ability to post, but will still be able to read what has been posted on the forum.)

Jacqui Lambie not well hung between the ears
Andrew Bolt
–, Tuesday, July, 22, 2014, (12:04pm)
Bogans will cheer, but it is both shameful and alarming that this kind of woman has a critical say in the running of this country:
SENATOR Jacqui Lambie is looking for a man and she only has two requirements, they must be wealthy and well-endowed…
"They must have heaps of cash and they've got to have a package between their legs, let's be honest," Lambie said [on radio].
The 43-year-old politician and mother of two was then introduced to a 22-year-old listener named Jamie, who called into the Tasmanian radio show to express his interest in dating the Senator.
"Do you have plenty of cash?" Lambie asked Jamie… And then Lambie asked the really important question, "Are you well-hung?"
SENATOR Jacqui Lambie is looking for a man and she only has two requirements, they must be wealthy and well-endowed…
"They must have heaps of cash and they've got to have a package between their legs, let's be honest," Lambie said [on radio].

Have Your Say
No brains, no class...but did you really have to give her space here, Andrew?

I guess being heterosexual and having kids at least gives her a insight to normal family challenges, unlike many of the Greens who seem to often be gay and childless.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:23pm)
Thankfully for me; I'm not rich, not well endowed and not the slightest bit interested either.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:24pm)
Yes, he did, Roger. To let everyone see "how they hang", in some political parties....
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:30pm)
Perhaps Lambie is looking for a potential suitor so she can take advantage of the generous paid parental leave scheme (that's only available to women in the public service and working for the ABC) before she is booted out of the senate at the next available opportunity? I also wonder if she thinks women from private sector business should also be able to access such schemes? What's good for the goose is good for the gander!
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:46pm)
Classy representation of the 'unrepresentative swill'.
Sadly very very sadly a Senator of the Australian Parliament for 6 yes 6 years………….
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:57pm)
Yours is the instinctive reaction, as was mine. But it's important for people to know the character of this person.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (03:08pm)
Say, I was a male Senator of the Parliament of Australia and said:-
I want a blond bimbo who must have big T***.
Do you reckon Wong, Pliebersick and the other feminista twitterati would by now have had a collective spew?
Do you reckon these hypocrites would have demanded my resignation?
Tue 22 Jul 14 (03:52pm)
Where is Plebosick the leader of the handbag squad? Her silence is deafening. It says it all about Labor & Greens, what a bunch of hypocrites.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (03:55pm)
Thing is if not here or other headlines we would never get to reflect on how poorly some of our politicians serve us. The PM winks and there are calls for his head - where now is the feminist outrage...Penny, Sarah, Tanya....anyone? Silence.....because her yellow scarf shields her in parliament because all want her support. In the real world though, we know and say what we think...and that's not very much of this individual.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (04:31pm)
new name for JL
Tassie doodle Lambie
I can think of another 4 letter word starts with s and ends with t.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:19pm)
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:02pm)
Doc, Lambie is an utter disgrace, I can't believe her elevation to the Senate. What a very sad joke! It's a pity we can't legislate against stupidity! Lambie takes dumb to a whole new level!
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:20pm)
I hear ya doc!
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:20pm)
Can someone buy her a mask
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:45pm)
And yet you dont have the courage to print the word in full. How telling.
A misogynist and a not very brave one at that.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (04:08pm)
As in scatter brained?
Tue 22 Jul 14 (04:23pm)
Is that all you got Jock? Pathetic.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (04:32pm)
jock- I don't think that makes me a misogynist.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (04:32pm)
And yet you dont have the courage to print the word in full. How telling.
The only thing "telling" is that he has the grace and manners not to write obscenities in public. Maybe you could learn a thing or two from that.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (04:36pm)
Loosen the strap Jock, it's cutting the blood supply to your brain.
1500 votes and preferences got her the job in the Senate, surely something is wrong with this system..What's that song for this pup??..Who let the dogs out…
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:19pm)
Tue 22 Jul 14 (03:23pm)
After a few weeks of having the media chasing after her every day, she is too thick to understand that the deaths of nearly 300 people take precedence over her pathetic need for attention.
And now bogans are running the country. How did this women get so far as to be elected? We can only hope this utterance will be added to one side of Tony Abbott's big DD file, it all adds up in the long run.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:20pm)
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:57pm)
This one is a 1st class bogan in Boganland.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (03:17pm)
How did this women get so far as to be elected?
you forget that about 50% of the population is of similar intelligence to Lambie, and they are required by law to cast a vote.
I thought the Greens were whack jobs.
This woman shouldn't be let out on the streets!
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:21pm)
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:56pm)
Unless in the Cross.
Being a meathead and classless is nothing new to parliament. Just think gillard and her beau, milne, sarah sea patrol, but I will allow those three have not spoken about matters like this.
lambie's words are just words, as classless as they are, but as yet she has not been a part of a government that allowed for the deaths of 1200+ illegal boat people or squandered umpteen 1000s of 1000000s of taxpayer dollars on ridiculous and dangerous, life taking, policies.
Give it time though.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:22pm)
She's all class, ain't she?
A real low rent dingbat.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:23pm)
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:13pm)
Gee, the perfect man! he would have to be blind and deaf as well!! not to many blind , deaf , millionaires about, a pretty short list I would think. And you thought Gillard was a bogan!! Peter. Adelaide.
Makes me sad to call myself an Aussie…
any similarity between me and that women is so far removed from coincidence that comparison is not worth consideration.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:24pm)
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:58pm)
Don't be sad about being an Aussie, be upset because she is an Aussie.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:29pm)
You are a true blue Aussie gentleman, John. It is genuinely obvious, that you would not lower yourself to ask such a nonsensical, irrelevant question of anybody.
It's difficult to judge; bogan or feral.
Bringing the Senate into disrepute is less difficult, though.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:24pm)
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:02pm)
The bogan vote at the upcoming Victorian Election is now going to be split between the ALP & PUP, the feral vote split between the Greens and ALP.
If only we had optional preferential voting where the party with the highest number of first preference votes was more likely to win the seat…
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:52pm)
Trailer trash!!!!
She certainly does great work representing PUP! Clive's Choice Cut…
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:24pm)
Jacqui Lambie enlisted in the Regular Army in 1989 and served 10 years in RACT and RACMP rising to the rank of CPL.
She was subsequently reduced in rank for assaulting a colleague whilst drunk.
She was injured on duty and the Army paid for a breast reduction to ease back pain.
She deployed to East Timor but was deemed medically unfit for duty and was discharged.
After a lengthy dispute with DVA, she was declared a malingerer and her Army pension stopped. The Australian public has been sold a PUP!
(Refer to web for further facts).
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:25pm)
Tue 22 Jul 14 (03:13pm)
Even 'rising to the rank of CPL' is a joke, as CPL is the base rank for a Military Policeman.
Maybe this is the interest in Clive Palmers? It would explain a lot.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:26pm)
No Class
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:27pm)
Looks like she already knows there will be no second term and is more interested in setting herself up post politics rather than actually governing.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:27pm)
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:31pm)
Are brains for a future beau a requirement for her?
Does she still include "Valada" Putin in her dinner guest list?
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:27pm)
Tony Abbott was pilloried by the left wing media for winking at Jon Faine when the woman called Gloria rang and crapped on about being a phone sex worker.
What are the ABC, The Age, Sydney Morning Herald etc going to say about this incident with Jacqui Lambie? What would happen if a male politician asked a female caller about the size of her breasts?
Would we hear the end of it? Would that politician be forced out of parliment?
I suspect if the politician was a Lib or Nat, there would be a huge outcry from the usual suspects, but in this case they will remain silent cowards.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:29pm)
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:17pm)
Not true Meh, Tony Abbott was acknowledging a knowing look from Jon Faine as both men realised that Gloria was a known Union Labor stooge.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:23pm)
She sounds like a 'hisogynist'.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (03:49pm)
How true. The Labor/green party is home to the hypocrite. Leftists have no moral compass & hence we got Gillard, Krudd & Shorten.
The picture could not be more pronounced.
On the one hand we have Julie Bishop on the world stage making Australia proud as she conducts herself with complete professionalism and conduct becoming an elected representative of her nation. A totally classy lady.
On the other hand we have Jackie Lambie demeaning the office of Senator, demeaning the female population and showing no class whatsoever and who shows no ladylike qualities whatsoever.
One's a figure head of strength and propriety, the other a fishwife.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:29pm)
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:34pm)
That was brilliantly said, Dave. I have always admired Julie Bishop, even more so, now. Lambie on the other hand....
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:52pm)
Fish wives are hardworking honest women, don't demean women who have to do miserable hard labour to support their families.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (04:38pm)
Rose, you do know "fishwife" is just a figure of speech, don't you? It means a woman of a low or coarse character, usually one who screeches and shouts a lot.
The original meaning of a woman who sells fish is archaic; long gone.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (04:42pm)
One's a figure head of strength and propriety, the other a
fishwife frightbat.
Fixed it for you Dave.
The scariest thing is that Jacqui will do a Cheryl and find her Gareth lurking amongst the green foliage.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:29pm)
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:51pm)
She and that posturing popinjay Ludlum deserve each other.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:18pm)
Sounds like an ideal paring for Sir Les Patterson !
And this inane, even suggestively insane, brain dead woman has been elected to The Senate! By whom? More brain dead Greens???
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:29pm)
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:08pm)
I think you will find that the pup voters are in the main the same brain-dead redneck white-trash who turned out in their droves for Pauline Hansen.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (03:27pm)
Tasmanians, but I merely repeat your description in a single word.
Oh boy! And to think voters actualy voted for her! Our parliament is a laughing stock. how can we possibly have intelligent debate with such types ruling the roost?
Tue 22 Jul 14 (01:30pm)
Tue 22 Jul 14 (02:44pm)
For once it isn't the voters' fault. She only got just over 1,500 1st-preference votes (PUP's total here was less than 30k too), but she benefited from the same preference swap deal rort that saw that Motoring Enthusiasts' Party's genius, Ricky Bobby, elected in Vic.
The Senate voting system has to be changed to "Optional Preferential Voting" (like the current NSW state preference system) before the next election. The LNP & ALP can do this via legislation, they don't need a referendum, just the will to fix this obvious problem, otherwise the current crop of unrepresentative ferals (who are in for 6yrs) will be joined by another group of equally unrepresentative loons in less than 3yrs time when we have the next half-senate election.
Tue 22 Jul 14 (03:48pm)
No, they voted against the Greens, Labor and the Liberals and Country party but for other people who gave her their vote. As in the Senate, very few people actually vote for you. I doubt anyone on the planet voted for Senator Stephen Conroy, except himself and maybe not even then.

The victim in the Suryanelli rape case tells her storya nightmare that lasted 40 days and the trauma that stayed with her every day for the past 17 years
She is the 'Suryanelli girl'. "But that's not my name." It's not. It's the name of the village in Kerala's Idukki district where she lived a 16-year-old's lifehappy, innocent, smiling easily. She doesn't smile easily anymore, but then, a lot more has changed since that day in 1996 when she was "trapped" by a bus conductor, the beginning of a 40-day nightmare during which she was taken all over Kerala and to parts of Tamil Nadu, raped and mutilated by 42 men. It has been a long fight, during which the case has seen several twists and turns, but she is determined to fight on. "Society denied me my name the day the case came to light. I want my name back. My fight is to get back that right," she says, sitting with her parents at their house in Kottayam district.
The two-bedroom house is where the family moved to from Suryanelli to escape the prying eyes of the public and its open sniggers and comments. The case had become one of the biggest sex scandals in Kerala, bringing in its fold former Union minister (and now Rajya Sabha deputy chairman) P J Kurien. As the case lingered on for 17 years and with the Supreme Court now asking the High Court to re-examine the case, the public gaze only got harsher. But all along, she stuck to her case, never dithering, never changing her statement.
It's painful to recall, but she insists on remembering, for that's part of the fight to "reclaim my name".
In 1994-95, she came to Suryanelli in Munnar, a hill station in Idukki, to live with her familyher mother worked as a nurse with a plantation company and her father worked as the postmaster. Until then, she had studied at a residential school in Kottayam district and now, she joined class 8 in an English-medium residential school in Munnar. She would take a bus, the same bus, from the family's tea estate quarters to school and back. It was a beautiful ride through sloping tea plantations and mist-covered hills. It was during these rides that she befriended Raju, the conductor.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center, a Doubletree by Hilton Hotel
Christmas in a HOTEL
We had to stay in a hotel on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with our children and were not looking forward to it. However, this was such a neat place I really do not think the children minded at all, and we certainly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Hotel Roanoke for making a bad situation great.
Wonderful Package
My husband & I spent our honeymoon night at the Hotel Roanoke this past December under their "Sweet Romance Getaway" Package. Because we booked the room at last minute we were worried that we would be stuck with 2 double beds, but much to our surprise we had been upgraded to a king! The front desk attendant was great, and instead of the complimentary 2 cookies we received a full can of their tasty chocolate chip cookies. She also said that room service would be calling us to ask when they should bring up the champagne and strawberries (another perk of the package)! Almost as soon as we walked into the room they had called to tell us that they would be up shortly. We were tucked away on the 5th floor overlooking downtown. The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever sleep on. I'm not sure if Doubletree has upgraded all the linens, but ours had soft sheets and a down comforter with duvet. We went down to the Pine Room to have a late snack and drink, and even though it was pretty crowded the band that was playing was entertaining. A little pricey with the drinks, but the food was nice. In the morning we ordered room service (perk) which was delicious. After a relaxing morning we had a late check- out, but we would have loved to have stayed. I would recommend this package to anyone seeking a much needed getaway! I give a BIG THANKS to the Hotel Roanoke for making my honeymoon night one to remember!
VEry nice, but...
it was a beautiful hotel-loved the decor! The bed was very comfortable also. Unfortunately, it was hard to get a good night's rest with the doors in the hallway SLAMMING all night, and the baby screaming in the room next to us all night too! Apparently, we were given a suite split, so the room we had adjoined another families room. We loved being woken up at 4:30am by a screaming baby being heard through the walls and door-it sounded like the baby was in the room with us! The screaming child could be forgiven (just remember the walls are THIN), but it was never known when a door was going to be slammed. There would be quiet...and then... BAM a door in the hallway would bang shut causing us to jump in our own skin! Room service was great, if you don't mind spending $90+ on two soups, two fish entrees (salmon) and 3 sodas. The surroundings were so nice though, i would stay there again if I had to. I would just plan my visit to not be around such a busy time during the holidays!
Very Impressed
The Hotel Roanoke is an impressive tudor-style building centrally located in downtown Roanoke. It was the perfect getaway weekend spot from Raleigh, NC. There is a glass enclosed pedestrian bridge leading from the property to the City Market area. The hotel staff was wonderfully gracious, professional and attentive. We loved the hot oatmeal chocolate chip cookies presented to us at check-in. Though our standard bedroom was small the bed itself was oh so comfortable and plush. We enjoyed indulging in the weekend breakfast buffet which included spoon bread and made to order omelets. For the athletically inclined, there is a state of the art fitness room, an outdoor pool, and a heated whirlpool. Your stay at the Hotel Roanoke is sure to be a pleasurable one.
Very nice!
I stayed here for the weekend and really liked it a lot. The architecture was beautifull and the service was great too. The rooms were a little worn but I enjoyed my stay so much I didn't care. I had a great dinner in the formal dining restaurant downstairs as well.
Disappointing given its rating
Although the lobby is very nice and the connection via skywalk is a bonus, I was very disappointed in what was supposed to be a 4-star experience--especially since I booked a Club Level room. The hotel claims on its website that club level rooms have extra amenities but that does NOT apply during the weekend, even if you plan to stay the week. They apparently remove the "plush robe" and the 'upgraded amenities' promised in the description of the room--the bath amenties were cheap-looking and tiny. The Club Lounge is open Sunday evening through Thursday only. After a call to the manager, I did receive a robe on Sat night, but had to ask for coffee amenities as well, although they are supposed to be standard. I expect much more from a hotel, especially when I am staying more than one night and am a member of the frequent guest program.
Nice old hotel
This is a nice hotel but does not have many amenities that one would expect of this type of hotel. The location is great though and the staff was very friendly albeit not overally professional. Certainly is the best place to stay in Roanoke.
The best place to stay in Roanoke
My husband and I stayed at the hotel for Valentines weekend. I must say that I was very pleased with everything about the hotel. The room was nicely appointed and clean. The room service was excellent but a bit pricey (but what room service isn't?). The hotel lobby was just beautiful and I really enjoyed searching through the hotel and looking at all the wonderful pictures from the hotel's past. One of the most convenient things about the hotel is the enclosed walkway that is provided to the downtown area. There are many nice places to eat downtown and ample shopping. Also, there is an open air market.
Although, since it was winter when I vistited the selections were sparse but I am sure that in the summer it is fantastic. If you are going to visit Roanoke. This is, without a doubt, the best place to stay. I will defnintely be returning for another romantic weekend!
------------------------------------------------- Also, about the parking situation, it is very good - they charge about $5 per day for it. Parking is very close to the hotel, not much of a walk at all. But if you prefer, they also have valet service.
Historic Hotel and Great Rooms
This hotel was built in the 1880's by the local railroad to attract tourists to the area and it is a gorgeous building. Service was prompt and the rooms were very nice. Room rates were very reasonable. There is also a nice outdoor market area with small restaurants and shops within walking distance.
Very Nice!
I stayed here one night while passing through Roanoke. It is a beautiful hotel with a lovely setting. It is comfortable and conveniently located to downtown Roanoke (a walkway takes you right to 10-15 restaurants in a 2-3 block area). The rooms were clean and appeared to have been recently upgraded. I would stay here again.

Note: In lieu of an abstract, this is an excerpt from the first page.
ExcerptNext Generation Sequencing (NGS) refers to technologies that do not rely on traditional dideoxy-nucleotide (Sanger) sequencing where labeled DNA fragments are physically resolved by electrophoresis. These new technologies rely on different strategies, but essentially all of them make use of real-time data collection of a base level incorporation event across a massive number of reactions (on the order of millions versus 96 for capillary electrophoresis for instance). The major commercial NGS platforms available to researchers are the 454 Genome Sequencer (Roche), Illumina (formerly Solexa) Genome analyzer, the SOLiD system (Applied Biosystems/Life Technologies) and the Heliscope (Helicos Corporation). The techniques and different strategies utilized by these platforms are reviewed in a number of the papers in this special issue. These technologies are enabling new applications that take advantage of the massive data produced by this next generation of sequencing instruments. [...]

Lawmakers aren't happy with RetreatThe Associated Press | March 27,2013BRATTLEBORO — Members of a Vermont House committee say they're not pleased with the information they're getting from the Brattleboro Retreat about the care of state patients there.
Committee members Tuesday criticized the Retreat for slowness to keep the state informed about recent incidents at the facility, including one in which a patient reported improper sexual contact to a staff member, and the staff member failed to report the issue.
Hospital vice president Peter Albert agreed that the report should have gone immediately to the state's adult protective division.
In another case, an adolescent patient was improperly placed in seclusion.
And in another, a patient with both medical and mental health issues was reported to have been subjected to an emergency medical intervention too soon.MORE IN This Just InA two-vehicle crash on Route 4 in Killington in the early morning hours Saturday sent a Hartland...

I had severe itching in the scalp, neck and back. Dr. said it is due to fungal infection and prescribed this 500 mg twice a day. Within a day, I had severe heaviness in head and dizziness. I have stopped it now. However I had some relief after taking this medicine. But to the side effect I am not continuing. Need to check with Dr some alternate medicine

text: There is a huge white space between the top couple widgets on my sidebar and the bottom couple? My blog is: http://www.PrayersAndApples.com. At first, I thought it was just a problem with my YouTube Sidebar Widget - it would say the title ("Videos") and then put a TON of white space between the title and the videos. So i got rid of that widget. And now it's just divided me widgets in half and put the first couple at the top of page and the last ones at the bottom. It's as if something is telling it to evenly space out the widgets to take up the whole length of the page (although instead of putting even spacing between each widget, it just fills up the whole middle of the page with white). Any suggestions? (Thanks in advance!)
