Prime Minister Gillard
Andrew Bolt
–, Thursday, June, 24, 2010, (11:59am)
Gillard speaks at a press conference:
It's with the grreatest resolve and humility that she accepts the leadership.
Grew up in South Australia. parents taught her the values of hard work, respect and community.
Believes should reward those work hardest, "not complain loudest". (Pitching to conservatives.)
Want to help those who "play by the rules" and "love their country". (Really pitching to the conservatives.)
A good government was "losing its way". All this hard work risked being lost at the election. The Opposition would have hit health, education and rights at work.
Her commitments:
- a strong government that will control our future
- strong government protect your rights, including rights at work
- takes "fair share" of responsibility for Rudd's successes and failures.
- says government didn't do all it promised and was off track.
- concedes was not elected and says will "in the coming months" ask for an election.
(Humility good.)
Plugs the claim that government rescued the economy from recession.
Credits the "labor giants" - Hawke and Keating for reforms, and even to Howard and Costello for continuing them. Rudd, too.
Insists the Budget will be back in surplus by 2013. (This must mean no ETS, and not much conession on mining, either, since both would blow it.)
Every child to get fair go and good education.
"I believe in climate change. I believe that humans contribute to climate change.' In future will need a price on carbon, but first need "consensus" in community. (I thought "everyone" agreed?)
Says, though, must wait for improved international conditions for a carbon price.
Says needs fair share of taxes, but also need an early settlement. More than consulation.
Cancels the government-paid ads. (As I suggested.) Asks the miners to cancel theirs too as a sign of goodwill.
Won't say if she opposed the government's mining ads in Cabinet. Just wants "as a sign of respect" for the miners to stop their ads, as she'll stop the Government's.
New push to negoiate. Swan and Ferguson will lead.
Ends with message to the troops. Mentions deaths and sacrifice. (Really, really, pitching to conservatives.)
Tribute to Rudd. The sorry, the pullout from Iraq, the increase of troops to Afghanistan, the fight against recession, social policies and the the near-forging of an international deal on climate change.
Swan is guiding us back into surplus, she says.
Must be ministerial changes. Will announce them later.
She dedicates herself to a nation where hard work is rewarded. Children must have access to a good education. We should not be afraid of the future. She wants an Australia respected for progress.
(Gillard is after the votes of the Howard battlers. An emissions trading system stays off the books. Education will be central to her campaign, as will union-pleasing moves to ensure "fairness" in the workplace. But the stress will be very much on the values of hard work, and reward for results. A great pitch, on the whole, given what she's of the left and a warmist. Nothing on the boats.)
Q and A
Moved because the party was losing its way. Hints that the election wll be late this year. (She's groomed beautifully, by the way. Regally.)
Rudd will have a good future with Labor. She can understand why Australians are 'disturbed" by asylum seekers, since this country is our 'sanctuary" and "home". Against "fearmongering" of opposition, but promises strong management of the borders.
"The door of this Government is open" to the miners, who must "open their minds". Will negotiate through. Believes a consensus is emerging.
(Is asked how Rudd lost his way, and what she'd do differently.) She will offer stability and "collective" leadership that "draws on the best efforts" of each member of the Caucus. Will provide decent services.
(Note: not once yet has she made any reference to being the first female prime minister. She is doggedly against playing the identity politics that would mark her of the Left.)
Believes she did all she should have to advise Rudd as deputy. But then realised she had to do more. She formed that view "in recent days".
Denies she's beholden to the faction bosses.
(Asked about being first woman) Jokes that she may be the first red-head. Knows she is the first woman, but didn't set out to "crash my head on the glass ceiling." Just wants to offer good government. (Deftly sidestepped.)
Says family taught her "that hard work matters" - and being treated decently at work.
Says there is "not a community consensus" on putting a price on carbon. Will pursue that argument after the election, (but offers no timing on promising an ETS).
Wants to offer "good, competent, stable government".
Says won't move into the Lodge until after the election, when she's earned the right. (She's note-perfect.)
She says Rudd won't be hurried out the Lodge since Marcus, the youngest, is still at school.
Refuses to say what will happen to the Budget - blow out or spending cut - if a deal with miners cuts the revenue from the "super profits" tax. (This is a crucial problem for her.)
Promises a scare campaign on WorkChoices against Abbott.
Won't say whether the 40 per cent rate of the "super profits" tax is up for negotiation.
Says won't speak about any offers made to Rudd last night. Won't answer whether he could be Foreign Minister.
I'd give Gillard a 9/10 for that in terms of political positioning.
Who in September 2007 warned voters against an unelected Prime Minister:
All we know is if the Howard Government is re-elected, we'll have John Howard for a period of time, unknown, replaced by someone unknown because that will be in the hands of the Liberal Party.
And who denied more than thrice that she would do what she's just done?
(Thanks to reader Victoria 3220.)
Have Your Say
The next election which will be soon, will determine whether or not Gillard can continue to smile. I doubt it.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:10pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:56pm)
The bookies are running Gillard as very short priced favorite !??
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:21pm)
The first question for the new PM should be; "How much of the millions, if not billions, of dollars rorted through the BER have been funnelled into the unions to be recycled as advertising for the ALP at the next election?" and the second should be: "now that you are PM, will you sack the person who icompenetly or fraudulently oversaw the massive BER rorts?"
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:46pm)
Not many fluffy honeymoon questions in the press conference. Good.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:43pm)
Second question...how much has opening our borders cost Australians in real amounts and will the new PM accept the open borders or take firm action to create an acceptable, strict immigration policy?
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:47pm)
Oh my god, the A.B.C. propaganda has started ad nauseum, already theyv,e trotted out Susan Ryan, Cheryll Kernot and now some left wing advertising type, all europhic about a woman P.M., how hard it is going to be for Tony Abbott.
I do not recall Tony Abbott being the person who dressed down an unsuspecting air steward, are these women and the media "NUTS"? the man lives with a wife and three daughters who seem to adore him, I guess they like the way he treats women.
I find all these types advising how different he has to be with Ms Gillard, archaic in their views, patronizing also, The fight for womens equality was over 40 years ago, he,s a smart man, he has every right to attack Policy, failed policies, she,s up to her neck in them, with former P.M. Rudd.
The absolute waste of hard earned tax payer dollars on her outrageous B.E.R., she says, " we needed the stimulus", sorry Julia, we do not need wasteful politicians placing us in debt for decades.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:57pm)
Same horse, different jockey.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (03:33pm)
If only Peter Costello had had an ounce of ticker.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (04:13pm)
Julia Gillard's playing an acting role, this is why:
If you look and listen carefully at the gravitas when speaking "slowly" she is doing a Margaret "Thatcher Impression", then she switches to the casual and informal Jodie Foster style-delivery, the "Girlish" flirty role, this is to throw off the debater/interviewer with misleading rapport.
-Check the "actresses"!
Pay close attention at her phrasing, speed and style, she's been coached into public speaking but the difference that she's not as mechanical as Kevin Rudd, she can improvised on her feet unlike Dudd, that's why she can take hostile interviews unlike Kruddismo Generalissimo, yet does not scare like Krudd.
Gillard's repertoire has these two poses unlike the infamous Kruddbot which worn out quickly after being exhausted by its inherent inflexibility in delivery and lack of ad lib-ing.
...and the million dollar question, who coached Gillard in her "Glorious Female Leader Role"?
I bet he signed a Non-disclosure Agreement to The Press, now time for the Fairfax Press to do the Customary Pufferies and Photo-ops, pretty boring actually....
Thu 24 Jun 10 (04:26pm)
given i'll still b voting liberal at the next election i thought she at least appeared genuine???
1 things for sure no honeymoon for this labor babe…
Thu 24 Jun 10 (04:43pm)
How about this for a Liberal Party slogan, "After Latham and Rudd, can you really trust the ALP to pick a Good Leader?"
Thu 24 Jun 10 (05:07pm)
Tony, how about this slogan, 'Is Julia the right bloke for the job'??
I must stop being naughty…
Thu 24 Jun 10 (05:10pm)
The RNG does not wish to have a honeymoon with Ms. Gillard.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (05:10pm)
Now we know who runs the party, not Rudd, not Gillard but Paul Howes.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (05:18pm)
Carl - Speaking of Hawker-Britten, what has happened to the ubiquitous Bruce Hawker? Seems like old Brucey has gone to ground in the last 24 hours. Oh how I'll love to see the spin next time he's on Sky News.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (05:29pm)
Is this what Julia means by Workchoices?
Thu 24 Jun 10 (06:59pm)
Pretty sure she was in parliament when the labour opened our borders to illegal immigrants (by boat and plane!), spent billions of borrowed dollars on failed programs that we didnt need, forgot that there actually is a public that labour decisions affect.
Can't trust this labour government till there is a complete house cleaning.
Wish Rudd had stayed, labour in with a chance now.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (08:31pm)
Think about it, Rudd was betrayed by a power hungry manipulating mover.
He was betrayed by those closest to him. Gillard was a snake waiting in the dark.
Gillard knows that she can never win an election, and moved fast into the PM seat.
Gillard has betrayed our country and the Labor Party voters.
This calculated gamble will not pay off for Labor. Polls? I dont think so. Rudd had the goods to win the next election. Becuase of Gillard selling her soul to the Supertax, she has gained temporary support. Her expiration date will be shortlived.
Liberal will win. I will be voting Liberal just to see the backstabbing Gillard fall. She has manipulated the press and the people of Australia with her lies.
At the end of the day, this move has lost Labor the election.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (08:44pm)
you mean euphoric?
Thu 24 Jun 10 (11:05pm)
Pedant, I was so euphoric, I became Mrs Malaprop.Too euphoric to type check.
Fri 25 Jun 10 (06:40pm)
"How stupid are Australian voters?
First Mark latham, then Kevin Rudd ,and now Julia Gillard.
It's still the same labor party ,you fools, just a different talking head"
.(source)An entry in today's "West Australian's" letters Page.
Sum's up the whole sordid affair beautifully
Somebody take pictures of Kev/Therease leaving the lodge with boxes. And Joolia moving in… What is Therease thinking now!
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:11pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:11pm)
I wonder if Kevvie will still bother going to Church now that it won't be a photo opportunity.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:15pm)
She says Rudd won't be hurried out the Lodge...
Obviously she's aware of the need to tread carefully when it comes to easing Kevin out of property that he doesn't own…
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:16pm)
This Labor debacle just demonstrates that it is the Unions who own the Labor Party: Shorten, Combet, George, Cameron, Ferguson, Crean, Gillard, etc, etc and even the unelected Howes.
But hopefully, this will end the media love-in with the Rudd Government and the public will be provided with unbiased and truthful reporting from Our ABC, the Fairfax mob, Boy Journo from Channel 10, Fatty Oakes from Channel 9, Koch Head from Channel 7, Silly Old Kelly from the Australian, Witchy Gratten and the rest of the spineless Canberra Press mob - here's your chance to rebuild your (and your profession's) reputations.
Just remember that Gillard was one of the infamous Gang of Four and that everything she has touched thus far, has been a flop: Medicare Gold, Computers for all students and the wasteful must build something now schools ripoff. Let's see if the above mentioned news agencies and their henchmen and women continue with their love-in of anything pink, or that they show some professionalism and pride in their work.
Fri 25 Jun 10 (07:22am)
I feel so sorry for Rudd's family, and thought that they behaved with dignity throughout their mortifying ordeal. Especially his children, they did not get to choose their horrid papa.
Just hope his son's life won't be made hell at school by vicious Labour ferals.
Note to Shorten, Habib etc ....be nice to people on your way up, because you will meet them on your way down. Rudd just demonstrated that reality.
Tony Abbott's comments about the midnight call resonated with Australians - that treatment wasn't a fair go was it? Very reminiscent of the Cold War. And the gulag for dissenters.
BTW if Julia's speech was extemporaneous, then Elvis is alive and living in the White House.
Just some 12 days ago Julia said something like: " it would be crazy to say I will challenge..."
Just shows the dissaray, indecision and panic that's showing up as policy-on-the-run.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:14pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:35pm)
How would you describe the Liberal Party's multiple changes of leadership in the last 3 years then?
Thu 24 Jun 10 (03:28pm)
JR yes, and how about The Stare swearing unwavering loyalty to all three leaders.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (03:58pm)
"It would be crazy to say I will challenge..." She simply left out the word "Yet"
Thu 24 Jun 10 (05:26pm)
Seriously what future party leader hasn't said something very similar just weeks before challenging.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (07:12pm)
JR… Changing a leader in opposition doesn't even begin to compare with back stabbing a serving Prime Minister whose party had been elected on the understanding that he would be the Prime Minister. There is no excuse. They should have called an election.

Thanks Carl. Worth repeating. Gillard will be able to knock Cate Blanchett off her perch at this rate!
PS Quentin Bryce didn't look all that pleased. Saw the video somewhere. Sorry no link.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (08:53pm)
Tony P
Standard ALP practice.
I think it's probably happened in every state.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (09:48pm)
J.R. you are not really that simple with the question you asked?? It is quite normal for leaders to change when they lose elections, what has never happened in the HISTORY of Australia, is a first term P.M. who in a poll last Monday, still had a 52% APPROVAL RATING, TO BE STABBED IN THE BACK BY THE SUSSEX STREET Sydney union mafia, and that schoolboy wimpish kingmaker Paul Howes and the guy who previously held the same role, Shorten, pay back for not immediately being given a senior ministerial role. A power hungry mob if ever I witnessed it. Last P.M. on Sky news, it had nothing to do with Australia, it was all about the Labor party. If the Australian voter is stupid enough to swallow being taken over by union thugs, we are in for an extremely bad time.
Julia Gillard is the architect of the Labor party immigration policy, I saw her say that tonight.
All that has happened today; "they've put lipstick on the pig, it's still a pig"
Will you vote for Julia Gillard in this year's election?
7298 Yes
16603 No
Go Abbott haha these morons couldnt run a circus Oh they are lol
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:15pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:02pm)
And yet over at the ABC the poll is running 60% Yes
40% No
Lots of support from the rusted on Lefties, but not nearly as much as Rudd in his heyday. She has her work cut out for her.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:25pm)
Do you really take the ninemsn polls seriously? Do you really think they are accurate?
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:37pm)
Give Gillard a little time. Abbott struggles against her on television and in public.
It may sound sexist but an attack dog like Abbott can't use his old methods on Gillard. He'll be slaughtered by the news media and talk shows.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:53pm)
Hey Archer, If Mr Abbott could get a word in, he may make some ground on her. Beware the person who never shuts up.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:04pm)
Gillard is a Fabian socialist. Her conservative mouthings are not to be trusted.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:06pm)
a few polls down the ABC list:
Should Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard mount a leadership challenge before the election?
Yes 34%
No 66%
1670 votes counted
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:44pm)
Clive B is so right. When Julia starts talking no one will get a word in. Those Friday exchanges have Julia talking at least 80% of the time. Abbott is just too polite.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (03:56pm)
If Abbott has got any sense he will let the women in the Coalition attack Julia and the men attack Labor policy.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (05:33pm)
Actually Ruth that is a good idea, let the Coalition women attack Julia and the guys can attack on policy grounds… that wold definately work
Thu 24 Jun 10 (07:56pm)
New Betfair market on Next Election. Don't underestimate Julia or the power of the AWU:
Labor 1.5
Coalition 3.15
This is where the smart money will be.
Labor know from experience how important a new jockey can be to winning a race.
The difference being that we knew before the election that Howard wouldn't see out the term as PM.
You can't call for Rudd to be removed as PM and then criticise Gillard for making it happen.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:16pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:26pm)
C'mon RoDog, this isn't the time or place for logic.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:23pm)
I don't think Andrew called for Rudd's removal, he just predicted it.
If only IPCC predictions could be so accurate, but then I guess a lot of climate alarm spruikers would be out of a job.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (03:07pm)
Seeing how the ABC is run by leftist feminist & a few limp wrists why is the poll in any way remarkable?
Bring back Turnball and it will be a real contest!
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:16pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:19pm)
Why on earth would the Liberal party bring back the man who couldn't even take on Rudd!
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:36pm)
What? Turnbull vs Abbott? After all, there's no way Turnbull could run for the Coalition ...
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:44pm)
Bring back Turnbull....oh you mean, for Labor or the Greens?
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:16pm)
Him and Kev can both quit their respectives and form the new 'Bitter Ex Leader' Party.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (03:31pm)
Bring back Turnball and it will be a real contest!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Not now, not ever.
Given the way the NSW right has acted in NSW who is to say that Gillard will even last two years.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:18pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (03:24pm)
That's right, the new standard is "one bad poll and you're out".
No matter that the reason that you're polling badly is because you listened to the NSW Right!
Thu 24 Jun 10 (05:26pm)
You underestimate the Wimen's Militia i.e. the Meeja. They adopted the policy of Swimming a Witch with Coalition female parliamentarians but will vilify anyone who critiques the Queen of the Bogans as sexist. You shoulda heard Caroline Ovaring this morning on 3MTR, she was nearly ranting.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (06:53pm)
Yep,the odds are SHORTENing right now.
The Ber queen takes over ,boy what a mess.What happened to Kevin" will lead us into the next election ? you guys make it up as you go, no morals ,no truth, nothing different here.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:20pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (03:11pm)
As you say, nothing has changed, its the same lame nag a new side saddle jockey.
Fri 25 Jun 10 (01:30am)
You can put a new set of tyres on an old car but it's still an old car…
If we're going back to pre-election predictions, I seem to recall making one that the Labor party would use Rudd to get in power, and then find a reason to kick him out and put the then unelectable Gillard in his place.
How nice to be proven right!
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:20pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:16pm)
I remember that
Nice work
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:12pm)
I made a similar prediction, but I thought it would be earlier (18months in) and the dicky heart excuse would be used.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:31pm)
"When we get in we will change everything"
Now who said that ??
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:38pm)
If she was unelectable then why is she electable now?
Thu 24 Jun 10 (03:32pm)
"If she was unelectable then why is she electable now?"
Just a suspicion JR. The general impression I've been getting is that the media has been doing its utmost to rehabilitate and soften her public image over the past couple of years. Do a bit of searching and you can find no end of magazine articles that seek to paint her in a soft and fuzzy light.
I think public perception of her has changed significantly in the past couple of years, and we may now see a much closer election than may have otherwise been the case.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (05:30pm)
"Julia will not last long as she has Swanny as her Deputy." He has always wanted to be Prime Minister. I believe he will have the numbers; after Julia fails at the Election she has promised to call as she stated, "I was not elected by the people!"
I'm sitting here watching the likes of Richardson, Laurie Oakes and similar ilk, and I am completely repulsed.... The scorn and vitriol they are pouring on Kevin Rudd and recounting from Labor sources is astounding.
If Labor can have such disrespect for the office of Prime Minister and for its now deposed leader… Makes one wonder just how loyal they would be to Australians and our country… I am appalled at the behaviour.
I didn't like Rudd or his policies.... But this hatred of him by his own side is revolting. I hope Labor voters are watching this and taking note....
.... That bluddy Richardson turns my stomach.
As for Gillard. She has a job ahead of her now. Poor fool.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:21pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:57pm)
Good observation.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:29pm)
It has been well known for quite a while now that Rudd has never been popular within the party, but was tolerated while he was popular with the people.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:07pm)
..Makes one wonder just how loyal they would be to Australians and our country
Its simple - they dont! they are like any socialist/communist regime the only loyalty is to the party and keeping it in power. get ready for all the propoganda about being more consultative and sidelining the unpopular policies until they are retuned in power then when your guard is down they strike. Time to get the broome and clean out these self interested unskilled fools from office.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:14pm)
The conga line of people waiting wanting to dump on Rudd is 5 miles long. I must say I am really disappointed that the ALP has taken away the oppotunity for the public to vote Rudd out of office. I really wanted to see him cry on election night. I guess a very stern faced Joolier will have to do as she faces up to an election hammering
Thu 24 Jun 10 (04:08pm)
Now the back-stabbing liar scum are exposed.
Amazing shredding of credibility all around ALP and MSM..
Thu 24 Jun 10 (04:14pm)
Steve - as with any political ideology, if you are within the system, then it has to be your primary loyalty. Like Marxism, Islam etc.
Not believing, or renouncing your faith is a capital crime.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (06:42pm)
If those s***holes had fronted him while he was Prime Minister, he may still be there today.
It just shows they have less integrity than the people they tattle on.
Fri 25 Jun 10 (12:17am)
I liked the Richardson discontent at being held up so long from his important(other)things to do. It sounded like "get on with it, I can't sit here forever" in so many words.
Such an unimportant occasion, eh?
After watching this episode in politics and the comments and actions of the Federal Government after the election and particularly regarding comments by Peter Garrett 'we will change everything' I can come to only one conclusion - I would rather be in a backyard with half a dozen black snakes then deal with politicians.
Their currency is lies, deceit and personal power with only one thought in mind - me.
The media closely follow in credibility stakes - Joolya was part of the decision making process - she was one of the gang of 4.
The media are saying it will be a fresh start..rubbish. If it is, it shows her and Swan up as being gutless for allowing Rudd to go about his business as he did.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:21pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (05:25pm)
There is a lot of "The Caine Mutiny" about this. The ministry simply didn't pull Rudd into line or stand up to him when they should have. Now they've tossed him over the side when the going got tough.
So when poor policies did not wash with the electorate, Labor decided to make Kevvie a scapegoat. What's next?
Will Gillard be a PM for all australians or only serving AWU members?
I heard Howes complaining last night that the interests of Unions weren't represented under Kevvie.
And what happens to the buck that stopped with Kev, will it stop with Jooolia or did they run out of stock?
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:21pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:35pm)
well said!
didn't like Rudd but what a party!!
Talk about a corrupt and dishonest organisation!!
the unions have way too much power considering less than 15% of the population are members (and less if you leave out the public sector)!!
Number 2 in the Gang of 4 - what is the difference? - absolutely nothing has changed and if anyone thinks that she is any better they will eat their words sooner than later. I do hope that she has those elocution lessons that she badly needs though. It will be interesting when she comes up again Tony Abbott - I would expect that if he has a go at her she will pull the " poor little female me, bit" and try and make TA look like a chauvanist but if he does not "go" for her he will look weak. Meanwhile the power brokers in the Labor Party will be working their little tushes off pulling Gillard's strings to see if she is any more in their pockets than Rudd was.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:23pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:29pm)
Guess the boyfriend could go to etiquette lessons whilst Jooolia attends elocution lessons, after all won't he have to host the afternoon tea parties at the Lodge for the partners of visiting dignitaries.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (05:25pm)
Oh Paul…
I note your comments about Tim, I know Tim… he was my hairdresser in Shepparton, and he really needs grooming.
Not very acceptable really. I think they have attempted to scrub him up a bit… but he still is Tim Mathieson....
Congratulations, Andrew!
You predicted this less than a month ago, i.e. that Rudd would be dumped before June was out, and here we are. You have a far better track record in the prediction business than Tim flim-flam Flannery, whom you demolished a couple of weeks ago.
Now the task is to bring out the far-left agenda of Miss Gillard. You wrote a piece back in 2007, as I recall. Bring it out of mothballs, and some other embarrassing facts as well.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:24pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (05:20pm)
That'd be be these.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (05:22pm)
And this.
Even Gillard now objects to being called of the Left
Julia Gillard is a member of Labor's Independent Left faction.
She was also a leader of the Communist-formed Socialist Forum who urged fellow members of "the Left" to treat Labor as a Trojan horse.
We have got rid of the Krudd, now to get rid of the rubbish

They are Welsh actually, quite a difference between the accents!
Julia Gillard is utterly unelectable. She is an old school class warrior steeped in socialism and a captive of the most extreme left union fanatacism.

I heard her parents speak on MTR this morning....& really thick Scottish accents. Typical old school hardline, hard left Scot background there, no wonder she's a communist.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:53pm)
I think her parents are Welsh as she was born there. According to Wiki her hero is Nye Bevan. We now have a communist PM.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:57pm)
Julia's parents are welsh she was 4 yoa when they immigrated to Oz !!
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:04pm)
Three things-we have a Communist as PM. Her speech was an an lection speech. Will she abolish the ABCC? If she does, that will confirm she's in the pocket of the unions.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:10pm)
Welsh parents, John, Welsh.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:21pm)
Dear John from Bundoora,
Apparently her parents are Welsh, not Scottish and that she was born in Wales and emigrated to Australia along with her parents when she was three (3).
It is best to let people think you're a fool rather than open your mouth and confirm it. Please check your facts prior to putting quill to parchment.
Having said all that I don't disagree with the sentiments expressed in your post.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:30pm)
Be careful when you say 'unelectable'.
The USA now has an 'unelectable' President because (a) a certain 13% of the US population voted 97% for the guy and (b) the media sold his fabricated legend to the other 87%.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:57pm)
@John from Bundoora - hey leave the Scots alone. They're not all commies.
Adam Smith, the father of free market economics, was Scottish. John Stuart Mill, the father of classical liberalism, was from a Scottish family.
@elsie - 'a communist PM' is probably just a little bit of an exaggeration, but given her background of association with the far Left, I'd like to see a courageous journalist now ask her whether she now rejects socialism as an ideology.
Then again Rudd said pre-election that socialism was a 'discredited ideology', then went on to make a number of socialistic policy decisions.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (03:07pm)
Her parents didn't immigate, they emigrated.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (03:42pm)
"She is an old school class warrior steeped in socialism and a captive of the most extreme left union fanatacism."
You have to love the old conservatives. They rant and rave about the evils of socialism but were extremely angry when Rudd took a while to raise the old age pension. Imagine the electoral backslash if the conservatives threatend to abolish Medicare. John Howard even introduced welfare for the rich which still gets applause from these bias fools.
Socialism is still very much alive in Australia
- 8 hour day
-widow pension
-old age pension
-worker safety net
-decent working conditions
-Free public education(the conservatives would even like to privatize that!)
-Universal healthcare
-strong trade union movement
-public housing
According to the lunatic fringe: Australia governed by comrade Gillard.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (05:30pm)
Because J. Gillard was Welsh born, that makes her a British subject. Does she hold Australian citizenship in accordance with the Commonwealth Constitution?
Thu 24 Jun 10 (06:07pm)
Reco next term in school I hope you learn the difference between a Socialist, Social Democrat, Facist, Conservative and Libertarian, then you'll understand why you sound so ridiculous mushing them all together randomly.
Australia has largely managed to avoid being run by Socialists in its history. Social Democrats have been well at home the Labor and Liberal parties throughout the last 100 years .
Secondly most pensioners payed into the pension fund for their entire lives, it's hardly "socialist" to demand that they get out at least a fraction more than a percentage of what they were forced to pay in at the point of a gun by those nice "Socialists" (who of course plundered the rest to spend on a multitude of other wonderful but long dead and failed "Socialist" programs over the years).
You remind me of me a just few years ago trying to troll conservative forums, thinking you have the "true knowledge" armed with a million talking points you've picked up from the lefty sites and forums around the place (though of course you don't *think* you're a lefty - you're a moderate aren't you <eyeroll>).
One day you'll look back and shake your head at the blunt ham-fisted and embarrassingly under educated "arguments" you constantly attempt to make here.
Australians owe *nothing* to Socialism.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (07:15pm)
I know the truth upsets you. But the fact is that the legacy of socialist Pms such as Curtin,Fischer,Chifley and yes even Whitlam(universal healthcare, legal aid etc).
Australia has the best social security systems in the world in which the conservatives are to cowardly to wind back.
Don't like it, take a trip to America and observe people sleeping on the pavement.
Who were the main cheerleaders for P Costello to take over? Me thinks Mr Bolt was one of them. Can't support it for one and not the other. This is bad news for T Abbot and the Liberal Party.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:28pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:58pm)
You believe that??? Ahhh...the deluded leftoid!
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:23pm)
After one term??
I think not. Use your head child.
And no, no it's not bad news she's equally as problematic for Labor. For every female vote she gets she'll lose two votes for people sickened that a tiny faction of unions who represent 9% of the population think they can still run this country from outside parliament.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:19pm)
Put Gillard up against Abbott in a debate on national television and I'll leave you to guess who will come off second best.
If she wants to make Abbott look bad she needs to go head to head with him as often as she can on television.
Be it a debate or a Friday morning tandem interview.
Woo Hoo!
Rudd is gone, and I won't be voting for Gillard's Party team either since they all bear responsibility for what is wrong with the Labor government.
As Rudd talks now do you get the feeling he wants to cry like a baby.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:30pm)
Thank God that Shorten,Melher,Feeney,Arbib,Bitar and Co.are not the reinforcement team for our troops in Afghanistan.Gutless,Faceless bunch of "twinks" not that i am a Rudd supporter but the man did deserve better than this.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:30pm)
Let's see what she'd made of.
On the other hand, Krusty the Clown could govern better than Rudd.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (12:30pm)
Thu 24 Jun 10 (01:32pm)
Don't expect much - we have #2 and #3 from the old Kitchen Cabinet now moved up to #1 and #2 respectively.
She was either complicit in the screw ups when deputy, or opposed them but was easily pushed around.
I suspect she will implement the socialist policies she wants while having also to implement policies she dislikes but needs to in order to look moderate.
Out of all the things that her name has been attached to she can boast of only the MySchool website and the national curriculum - both involving the Teachers' Federation. And I am not sure either would be called great successes.
When money has been involved she has been as profiligate and reckless as any of them.
Thu 24 Jun 10 (02:01pm)
Agree Aqualung...'Don't expect much - we have #2 and #3 from the old Kitchen Cabinet now moved up to #1 and #2 respectively. Said the following earlier on a different thread 'same sh*t different shovel'.

Skill Level Intermediate
I've given some thought to how I want to process this image and the key things that I want to be aware of as I'm working on that image. And I think most of those issues can be resolved in the Raw conversion process using the Adobe Camera Raw. So, I'll double-click on the image in Bridge in order to open that Raw Capture in Photoshop which, of course, will bring up the Adobe Camera Raw dialog. And here my primary concern is two-fold. One, I want to focus on overall tonality to try to make sure that I'm retaining a reasonable amount of detail in the image. And two and perhaps most importantly I want to resolve the chromatic aberrations that are evident throughout the photo.
I'll start off with my general adjustments. In this case, the color seems reasonably accurate, so I'm going to start off with my adjustments for Tonality. I want to first establish the overall dynamic range of the scene. And so I'm going to start off with the Whites and Blacks sliders. I'll start off with the Blacks. I'll simply hold the Alt key on Windows or the Option key on Macintosh and then adjust the black point. And that will give me a clipping preview. And you can see that with the baseline exposure, I have a little bit of detail loss and even a little bit of a Black value.
In this case, I think I'm going to open up the image just a little bit, brightening up those Blacks, so that I don't have quite so much density. And that will help overall in making sure that I'm retaining as much detail as possible. I'm also going to take a look at the white point in a similar way. So I'll hold the alt key on Windows or the option key on MacIntosh once again and take a look at those Whites values. You can probably tell just by looking at this clipping preview that the clipped detail mostly relates to bright lights in the scene. And so I'm not really too terribly concerned about that. I might back off just a little bit, so that we don't get too much of sort of halo type of appearance in those lights.
But by and large, I'm not worried about trying to retain detail in each individual light source since those are obviously very bright relative to the scene. I then take a look at the Highlights and Shadows sliders. I'll start with Shadows, and I'll try and open things up just a little bit and see if a little more detail will work out nicely for the image. And I think it will. I don't want to open up so much detail that it starts to become a distraction but I don't want to block up image either. So I'll try to balance that. I want it to look like night but, of course, the scene is, in some ways illuminate it.
I think right about there will work out pretty well. Then I'll take a look at the highlights and I can choose to brighten or darken those highlights. I think I'll brighten highlights just a little bit, I don't want to go too far but I do want to sort of enhance overall contrast. Since I've opened up the shadows I want to open up the highlights even more you might say. Having adjusted overall tonality that way, I don't need to worry about the Contrast or Exposure sliders. But I will take a look at color temperature. The tonality was my bigger concern, but having addressed that, I'll go ahead and adjust overall color temperature. And I think I'll warm things up a little bit.
The result with the automatic adjustment was a little bit cooler than the actual scene appeared to my eye. And so I'm going to shift toward yellow just a little bit. And then I'll take a look at the Tint slider and see if I want to take it more toward green or more toward magenta. And I think I'll keep it a little bit more toward the magenta side of things. That looks to be a much more accurate rendition of the color as I remember seeing it in the scene. I do think however that the color was a little bit more intense onto those actual circumstances so I come down to the vibrance adjustment and increase that value to bring up the saturation of the colors that are not saturated to begin with.
I might even boost the saturation itself a little bit under relatively dark conditions, the colors and the reflections of all that light really had a strong intensity to it and I want to try to reproduce that intensity in the image. That looks far closer to what I observed than at the scene, specially as regards these smooth water reflections in the middle of the east river here. So I think we're off to a really good start for this photo. I'm also going to take a look at clarity, this is sort of a haze reducer. If we increase the value Or an ethereal maker if we reduce the value, and in this case I think I would tend toward increasing clarity just a little bit.
Certainly the ethereal version of the image could work quite well, but I'm more interested in having kind of a crystal-clear type of scene here. So I'll increase clarity just a little bit. When I do so, I need to make sure that I'm not blocking up too much shadow detail. If I am, I can certainly just open up that shadow detail a little more. But I think in this case we're in pretty good shape, even with that increase in clarity. And now we have moment of truth. I need to fix or at least minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing in the image, so I'll switch to the lens correction section. And then I am going to go to Color tab and I'll turn on the checkbox for remove chromatic aberration.
I'll then zoom in to the part of image that exhibits chromatic aberration and I'll go ahead and toggle that checkbox off and then on. And you can see, it certainly improved things significantly but not quite enough. So I also need to utilize the defringe options. I'll increase the value for Purple amount first and you'll notice if I increase significantly enough that I get rid of that color fringing, I can also increase the value for the Green amount. But, in this case, I think I actually have a little bit more of a sort of bluish to cyan value, so I'll expand the range for purple hue in order to include those blue values.
But now, you'll notice I'm creating other artifacts in the image. So I'll need to back off on that expansion. Instead, I'll take a look at the green hue and see if I can expand that into that sort of blue cyan range without creating any problems and it looks like I can. I'll need to fine tune the overall settings. But it looks like we're ending up with a reasonably good result here. The challenge with chromatic aberration is that, as you improve the result in one area of the image, you might create a bigger problem in another area of the image.
So it's important to evaluate various areas of the scene in order to determine if you've actually gotten the best results. And now you can see as I navigate to a different area of the image While it was looking very good for the tower of the Brooklyn Bridge, things are looking pretty messy over here. So, I'll need to reduce my range once again, maybe even tone down that Purple Amount value. And, overall, just fine tune my settings so that I'm not expanding into additional color values and creating additional problems for myself. Right about there looks to be a pretty good compromise.
I'll go ahead and take a closer look, though, at that tower of the bridge and there's a little bit of fringing there. Let me see if I can expand my purple range just a little bit in order to improve that. That looks much better. And once again back to the other side and that looks to be a pretty good compromise. So the name of the game when it comes to chromatic aborrations an color fringing is compromise. We'll need to offset one area versus the other, and evaluate multiple areas of the image in order to make sure you're getting the best result possible. But at this point I'm pretty happy with the overall results for my Raw conversions.
So, I'm ready to take this image into Photoshop and perform some cleanup. And perhaps, some additional fine tuning of the image. So, I'll go ahead and click open image. That will process the Raw Capture in Adobe Camera Raw and open the resulting image in Photoshop. And at this point, I'll go ahead and save the result before I even get started. So, I'll chose file, save as. And then I'll specify a file name for the image, I'll save this as a photoshop PSD file and I'll go ahead and click save in order to save that image.

P.O.S. returns from kidney transplant
CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER | Updated 6/26/2014
After months of recovery from a kidney transplant, P.O.S. believes he's finally able to do what he does best. He returns this weekend with Doomtree and will be busy making myriad music soon.
P.O.S. performing last year.
Leslie Plesser
All the musicians on stage at Rock the Garden last weekend seemed thrilled to be there, but none looked happier than Stef Alexander did offstage.
The Minneapolis rapper and sonic innovator better known as P.O.S. was spotted all over the festival both days. Simply there to hang out, he seemed happy to talk to anyone happy to see him. Which was pretty much everyone. In one particularly broad-smiled run-in Sunday, he had his angel-faced, devilish-grinned 2-year-old son, Lincoln, riding atop his shoulders.
"I couldn't even pick him up until about a month ago," Alexander said.
It was only 3½ months ago that Alexander endured what he called "the most horribly invasive, ridiculously painful surgery you can imagine," a kidney transplant he had waited almost two years to receive. The doctors had to go in through his abdomen, he said, "So just healing up from them having to cut into me has been a big part of it."
After more than a week at Hennepin County Medical Center, one month at home on bed rest and two more months of gradually active recovery — plus sometimes-daily doctor visits — Alexander, 32, believes he's finally able to do what he does best (besides maybe serving as his son's chariot).
"I love working," he said. "I love doing what I do and getting stuff done. And not being able to do that has really been frustrating."
He returns to the stage with his Doomtree crew Saturday at Bayfront Festival Park in Duluth on a now-annual hip-hop-meets-hippie-folk bill with Trampled by Turtles, an intrastate jaunt that also includes a warm-up gig Friday in Moorhead, Minn. He already delivered what he called a "tester" performance with Doomtree two weekends ago at the Green Line grand opening party in St. Paul, and he said it went well.
"As long as I'm doing it with Doomtree and have the gaps when the others are out front, then I think I'll be fine," he said. However, he added, "The P.O.S. shows are probably going to have to wait."
The transplant also put his usually hyperactive recording activity on hold, so you can imagine how much he's also raring to go on that front. He plans to release an EP of random P.O.S. material in the fall before starting on his next full-length album. He's also finishing his contributions to the next Doomtree record, which might — emphasize "might" — be done in time for the crew's annual Blowout concerts in December.
Other projects in the works: his ever-percolating collaboration with Astronautalis, Four Fists, which just announced a Sept. 7 gig in Madison, Wis.; the ever-perplexing Marijuana Deathsquads, which has mostly been on hold during his recovery; plus an upcoming recording session with fellow Deathsquad member and Gayngs/Poliça producer Ryan Olson featuring the likes of Har Mar Superstar, Lizzo and Jeremy "Spyder Baybie" Nutzman. He left it up to Olson to explain those latter plans (meaning the rest of us will probably hear about it the week of release).
Thankfully, his long-term diagnosis is good enough to support all these options and much more.
"I had somebody else's kidney dropped into me, and right now my body doesn't want it there and is fighting it," he explained. "But once that goes away, I should be able to do everything I did before."
Asked how he's staying positive in the interim, he said, "I looked at this whole thing the way I do a tour, where I don't know exactly where I'll be day to day but I know what I have to do. I embraced it as that: something I had to do."

The scrapyard was said to contain a lot of petroleum-based chemicals, as well as gas cylinders.
Fire brigade sources feared there could have been some leakage into drains around the site during the fire.
At one point there were seven fire tenders and a tanker pumping water onto the flames.
Two foam tenders from Dublin Airport were also brought to the scene to try to smother the fire.
There was extensive damage to the site, which operates as a vehicle dismantling plant under a disposal licence.
It also runs a 24-hour vehicle recovery service. There were no reports of any injuries but the Environmental Protection Agency as well as local authority management were expected at the site today once the fire was out.
As well as investigating how the fire started, they will also determine if there are any adverse effects on the local environment as a result of the blaze.
Gardai closed the Old Swords Road between the Airside Industrial Estate junction and the Cloghran roundabout while the fire crews attended the scene.
The road was closed under the advice of the chief fire officer due to risks from gas cylinders at the plant.
Traffic diversions were in place while the road was closed.
A spokesperson for Boland's car dismantlers said that they had "no comment" to make.

Despite being very frugal with his money, he decided that this was a good buy and wanted to purchase it. So, I ordered it on June 6th. They used PayPal to process my order, so that gave me a little hope that this was a legit website. PayPal charged our account on their behalf almost immediately. The receipt I received via email said that the package would arrive within 3-7 business days.
My son counted down the days. He anxiously awaited the arrival of a FedEx or UPS truck. When day seven came and went without a package, I began to worry. I used the fill-able form on their website to inquire about our package. It promised a response within two business days. Two days later, no response. I tried again. Same outcome. We found a phone number on the receipt, so I called it by day nine. I received a very poorly recorded voice message stating that no one was available to take my call and to leave a message. I left a detailed message and received no response.
I called again on day 10 and sent a third email. No response whatsoever. Yesterday (day 10), I decided to call PayPal and open a complaint. They were very nice and told me that they would open a dispute. This would give the company 10 days to resolve the matter or I would receive a full refund via PayPal. Upon further investigation online, I did eventually find a website called resellerratings.com that had many similar complaints about this particular website.
My son was heartbroken when I told him yesterday that he should probably not expect his package to arrive. I explained to him about crooked people who desire to play on innocent consumers and steal their money. I explained that unfortunately, he was a victim to this vile practice. He cried. Poor guy! It broke my heart. If this would have happened to me, I would have been upset, but I would have probably settled with just a full refund from PayPal. But, you don't mess with my kid! So, today, I contacted the Better Business Bureau and opened a complaint.
Once I receive my refund from Paypal, I will be contacting them to open a complaint so that they will no longer do business with this website and therefore protect the community of consumers who trust PayPal to work with upright sellers. I'm angry. You won't like me when I'm angry, goingtoday.com. I've written this report to further spread the news about this company's poor business practices in hopes that it will save some consumer the trouble and frustration that we just experienced.

This was my second attempt at contacting them 2 days ago: THIS IS A SECOND ATTEMPT TO GET A RESPONSE HERE. IT IS NOW 02/20/13 AND ON 02/06/13 I ORDERED "Hal Leonard Play Piano" for $17.99 (transaction ID 9CH* * * * *) 2 WEEKS HAVE PASSED AND I AM STILL WAITING ON SOME KIND OF INDICATION THAT THE ORDER IS BEING PROCESSED. ALSO.... ON 02/08/13 I ORDERED A "Moonlight Mystery Box" for $10.00 (transaction ID 9M3* * * *) ...ALSO WAITING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ORDER. I submitted an inquirey over 2 days ago and only received an automated response. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but My next email will be going to Pay Pal. Waiting 2 weeks for some kind of indication that a book you supposedly have on hand, is going to ship seems excesive to me. I had high hopes for dealing with WrightWay, so far my hopes have been dashed. Sincerely, Ray W.
Still Waiting.

This is not a good representation of how we do business here at our brick and mortar store or how we like to do business online.
The item that you ordered wasn't shipped due to an error on our side that has been corrected.
We will be shipping your son a new item on Monday the 27th. That item did sell out that day but we have been able to locate more. We will be shipping the item priority mail to you.
Sorry again for the trouble we have caused you and your son.

I never got any membership number or what so ever. Don't ever order from them, they will cheat you, even if you don't sign up for the membership fee, (like my friend) they will still take money from you and try to trick you that you bought something and charge you for no reason. Stupid vista, dumbass, how in the heck do you charge customers for membership fee which is $15 and then give them $10 back.. which never happens. customers aren't dumb... what are you going to do with the money you steal from all you customers account without permission.
If you give it to the poor then i wouldn't care but your just stacking your money and wasting it... on stupid things. ahhhhhhhhh im sooo angry. So to all you people out there don't ever buy anything from vista print.. because they're fake. the reason y they give out free business cards is because they are taking money from others to pay for the free stuff they give you... so in the end nothing was ever free.. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... so make sure you always check your account and never let them take your money.. and to get your money back. read the other report about vistaprint it'll tell you how to get your money back.

We got a little taste of some authentic food at La Hacienda Two in Tallahassee, and this week we had a visit from a very special guest!
The Big Bend area has dozens of Mexican restaurants to choose from, but what makes one restaurant the best?
Is it their choice of Mexican beers, or the tequila in the tasty Margaritas?
Oh and the cheese dips, or should I say queso!
So, before you even look at the menu you should try out some of these iconic treats, they are usually the items that really make a restaurant stand out.
Moving on to the main entree. Some of the dishes names I can't even pronounce, but cheese and some sort of meat are usually the main ingredients.
A lot of times you can order ala carte, allowing you to try out a variety of items on the menu for a reasonable price.
And, it's always nice to end a good Mexican meal with some fried ice cream.
You can vote all month long, just click on the contests link on our home page, and then the Best of the Big Bend icon. We will announce the winner at the end of the month.

Bridges for Gardens
Welcome to the Bridges for Gardens website!
We make several different types of bridges, including Japanese and Chinese, flat, traditional country style and custom bridges. Please have a look at a small collection of some of the 3500 wooden bridges that we have made for our customers since 1995.
We personally deliver all of our bridges and complete the assembly on site. This service is included in the final price.
Our wooden bridges are made from high-quality wood and are built to withstand the four seasons of the British weather. Unlike many other companies that sell bridges, all of our wooden bridges are sturdily built and are not just for ornamental purposes. Also, our bridges are specially designed to not require special foundations to give them extra strength.
You will see from the illustrations that we have personally photographed every bridge on its own particular site after we have delivered it to the customer – we do not simply place it in a nearby field for photographic purposes.
Our Garden Bridges
Our stock garden bridge sizes range from 5' (1.52m) to 17'9″ (5.4m) in length. We keep a large range of components in stock to reduce delivery times. Most designs can be made in a range of sizes up to our maximum length.
All of the beams, posts and boards are pressure treated, making them particularly suitable to go over ponds and streams. Your garden bridge can then be stained with an environmentally-friendly preservative, painted, or left for you to finish yourself.

Canisius Sweeps Volleyball In Buffalo
Sept. 22, 2012
BUFFALO - Canisius College hit .318 in the first set and held Loyola University Maryland to a -.172 mark in the same game, jumping out front for a 25-8, 25-17, 26-24, Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference victory on Saturday afternoon.
The Greyhounds (8-5 overall, 1-1 MAAC) led through the first few points of the opening set, and Mindy Maloney tied it at 6-6 with a kill, but then Canisius (6-7, 2-1) scored 10 unanswered points and 19 of 21 to close the frame.
Loyola again went up in the early going of the second set, taking an 8-7 advantage on a Canisius attack error, but the Golden Griffins slowly chipped away and built a lead.
In the third set, Loyola led by four, 16-12, on a Jac Bullock kill, but an attack error would give Canisius a sideout point, one of four-straight they would score to tie the game at 16-16 on a Samantha Good kill.
Bullock led Loyola with 10 kills, while Faye Lukas had eight kills and 10 blocks.
The Greyhounds continue their Western New York road trip on Sunday when they play at Niagara University at 2 o'clock.

I talked to Brian B and he said after 1 year, I may cancel with no penalty, I waited a year and contacted them yesterday, they have no record of this agreement and since it was verbal I have no "leg" to stand on according to them. So now I am stuck for 2 additional years with worthless training that has zero benefit for me. I learned my lesson and have devoted the next 2 years to telling people to use CBT Nuggets, Transcender, or Labsim, all 3 of those companies do not tie you down to a contract, and allow you to pay for just what you want..
I have learned my lesson and upon the end of this contract, will never do business with Learn Smart again. Please heed my warning and stay far far away from this organization...

Registered Nurse (RN): Educational Requirements for Registered Nurses
Learn about the education and preparation needed to become a registered nurse. Get a quick view of the requirements as well as details about degree programs, job duties and licensure to find out if this is the career for you.
Essential Information
Registered nurses (RNs) are healthcare professionals who care for patients and educate them about their health conditions. Becoming an RN requires the completion of a postsecondary program, usually an associate or bachelor's degree, although a few hospitals have teaching programs that offer diplomas. Aspiring nurses learn about topics such as anatomy and human development and gain extensive supervised clinical experience. Nurses also must be licensed in their states, which requires passing an exam.

Educational Requirements for Registered Nurses
Nursing students may choose from a variety of education options to become a registered nurse. Some teaching hospitals offer 3-year diploma programs in nursing; however, these programs are rare. Most RNs earn associate degrees or bachelor's degrees in nursing.
Associate Degree in Nursing
Many registered nurses enter the profession by earning an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN). ADN programs are available at community and vocational colleges and typically last 2-3 years. They combine classroom instruction with hands-on training in hospitals, clinics or other healthcare settings. Common courses include:
- Adult and family health
- Psychiatric nursing
- Pharmacology
- Human development
- Anatomy and physiology
Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Aspiring registered nurses may choose to gain more comprehensive training by earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), RNs who hold diplomas or associate degrees tend to pursue bachelor's degrees later in their careers (www.bls.gov). These degree programs are particularly beneficial to students who wish to pursue clinical or administrative positions.
Offered at colleges and universities, BSN programs typically take four years to complete; however, students who are already licensed as RNs may be able to complete accelerated programs. BSN programs focus on more advanced nursing methodology and clinical training, compared to lower-level degree programs. They also equip students with the administrative and critical thinking skills necessary for advanced positions in the field. Courses may include:
- Community health
- Leadership in nursing
- Healthcare management
- Nursing research
- Health assessment
- Professional issues in nursing
Licensure Requirements for Registered Nurses
To practice in the profession, registered nurses must become licensed. While licensure requirements vary according to state, they typically include passage of a state-approved training program and the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Administered by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, the NCLEX-RN covers topics like psychosocial and physiological integrity, health promotion and infection control (www.ncsbn.org). Depending on the state, RNs may be required to meet additional licensure requirements.
Salary and Career Information
The BLS estimated a 19% job growth for RNs in the years 2012-2022. Registered nurses earned $66,220 as a median annual wage in May 2013, according to the BLS.

Super Easy Pumpkin Bread
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 50 mins
I got this recipe from...? You know I can't remember now! But, it was so easy and so tasty! My kids adore them, and they are picky eaters! I do hope you enjoy this recipe! (I used real pumpkin puree, but canned pumpkin will work just fine, too!)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1⁄2 cup olive oil (can sub with canola or vegetable)
- 2 eggs, Beaten
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon allspice
- 1⁄2 cup walnuts (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Sift together flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl combined pumpkin, oil, eggs, water, and spices.
- Then, combined with dry ingredients but, do not mix too thoroughly. Stir in walnuts.
- Pour into a well-buttered 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Bake 50-60 minutes until a thin skewer poked in the very center of the loaf comes out clean. Turn out of the pan and let cool on a rack.

Most Helpful
This recipe is very easy and very good! I tweaked it a little by using about an extra half cup of organic canned pumpkin and used MCT oil in place of vegetable oil. Much healthier. I also used about 3/4 organic raw sugar and some liquid vanilla stevia extract. I sprinkled some chopped pecans on top. It came out delicious!!! I'm making another loaf with a little bit of raisins mixed in and will drizzle top with cinna-honey and pecans.:)
I made this today with my 5 year old daughter, and it came out perfect! Everyone in the family loved it, which doesn't happen very often. I made two small changes: (1) I used half a cup of white sugar and half a cup of packed brown sugar, and (2) I used 3/4 cup whole wheat flour and 3/4 cup all-purpose flour. It was moist and delicious and we will definitely be making this one again!
This recipe is amazing! After reading reviews, I made a few adjustments. Instead of white sugar, I used brown. Instead of all purpose flour, I used wheat flour. I also used extra cinnamon and added a little vanilla extract. My bread came out moist and very delicious.

Well, I have been testing themes for the past few weeks to change my blog's layout. What has happened to themes that are GOOD for blogging?
I mean, most of the themes don't even link the tags, huge SEO loss!
This is a great theme, very beautiful and versatile enough. Thanks a lot :)
