I never received a bill from 2005 to date. I had to argue with them to get that. I was told by The san Bernadino (and I have their printed statement ) saying that " they only send you monthly statments if you are behind on child support. I was pissed. Well, I had them do an audit of my account and guess what, They found an additional $11000.00 account that they had seemed to over look, and they had been charging me 10% interest on that account also. That shot my total up to $27,000.00. That's not my fault. That's their fault do sloppy bookkeeping, and I'm sure computer errors.
I have to pay for those mistakes. My youngest child is over 30 years old.
I"ve given My Ex-wife over $1500.00 to help pay her rent in the past. I didn't have too but, I did. I helped my daughter with her college tuition and sent her $200.00 per month on top of that to help her with rent and food because she married a REAL DEAD BEAT DAD. She has two children and takes care of them alone.
I'm 64 years old, not in the best of health and still paying for San Bernadinos bills wtih my interest payments. Now! on top of that, they take 25% out of my unemployment checks plus the money I send them out of my pocket. That really sucks.
If any agency needs to be investigated it needs to be them.

What Is the Bankruptcy Discharge?
Learn the basics about the discharge in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
The bankruptcy discharge is a court order that prohibits a creditor from collecting on the debts you list in your bankruptcy case. In other words, when the court enters the discharge, you no longer have any personal responsibility for the debt. The creditor cannot call, send demand letters, report nonpayment of the debt to credit reporting agencies, file a lawsuit against you, or take any other action against you personally in an attempt to collect the debt.
Here are some important things to know about the bankruptcy discharge.
The Discharge Does Not Get Rid of Liens on Secured Property
Although a discharge relieves you of your personal responsibility on a debt, if does not get rid of a lien that a creditor may have on your property. The creditor can repossess and sell the collateral to recover at least some of the money you borrowed.
To avoid repossession, you may be able to reaffirm the debt or redeem the property. In a reaffirmation agreement, you remove the debt from the bankruptcy proceeding when you agree to continue making payments in exchange for keeping the secured property. When you redeem the property, you satisfy the lien by paying the value of the property to the creditor in a lump sum. To learn more about reaffirmation and redemption, see Secured Debts in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.
Only Individuals Get Bankruptcy Discharges
Only individuals are eligible for a bankruptcy discharge. Corporations, partnerships, and municipalities are not.
The Discharge Comes at the End of the Case
The court usually issues the bankruptcy discharge at the end of a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 case. This means you'll get your discharge after you have
- completed all requirements for your case
- attended the meeting of creditors (and the confirmation hearing in Chapter 13)
- provided the court with accurate records of your debts, assets, income, and financial dealings
- participated in a session with a credit counselor and taken a financial management course, and
- if filing under Chapter 13, made all of your payments under your repayment plan.
Not All Debts Are Dischargeable
The bankruptcy code lists certain types of debts that are not discharged. These include recent taxes, student loans (unless you can prove undue hardship), alimony, and child support. After the court issues the discharge, creditors that hold nondischargeable debts are free to continue their collection efforts within the bounds of state and federal law. (Learn which debts you cannot discharge in Chapter 7 and which debts you cannot wipe out in Chapter 13.)
For certain other debts, the creditor must file a lawsuit within the bankruptcy case asking the judge to declare that the bankruptcy will not discharge the debt. Debts that arise out of fraud committed by the debtor, or for personal injury caused by the debtor while intoxicated, are debts that can be nondischargeable. (Learn more in Nondischargeability Complaints in Bankruptcy.)
The Court Can Revoke or Deny Your Discharge
If you fail to cooperate with the court or the trustee, are not truthful on the paperwork or in your testimony, fail to turn over assets, or are otherwise undeserving of a discharge, the court can deny your discharge. Likewise, if the court learns after the discharge was entered that you committed some act that would have caused the court to deny your discharge during the case, the court can revoke the discharge that it already entered. (Learn more in Objections to the Bankruptcy Discharge.)

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Commerce Department releases its September report on consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of economic activity.
SPENDING SLOWER: The expectation is that consumer spending edged up by a modest 0.2 percent in September, according to a survey of economists by data firm FactSet.
THE BACKGROUND: In August, consumer spending increased 0.4 percent while income growth slowed to a gain of 0.3 percent. Economists expect income growth of 0.3 percent in September, reflecting a slowdown in job creation during the month. The economy created just 142,000 jobs in September.
Economists are forecasting that consumer spending will be a major support for the economy in the final three months of this year.
The government reported this week that the overall economy, as measured by the gross domestic product, slowed sharply in the summer to growth of just 1.5 percent, less than half the 3.9 percent rate seen in the April-June quarter. The major reason for the slowdown was an effort by businesses to trim unwanted stockpiles. That slashed 1.4 percentage points from growth.
Consumer spending remained strong in the third quarter, growing at a rate of 3.2 percent, just below the 3.6 percent growth rate seen in the second quarter.
Economists are forecasting that consumer spending will keep providing support in the fourth quarter, reflecting expected further gains in employment which will give households more income to spend. Consumers are also benefiting from declines in energy prices which give them more money to spend on other items.
Many economists are forecasting that the economy will grow around 2.5 percent in the fourth quarter, supported by expected further gains in consumer spending and less of a drag from cutbacks in stockpiling.
The Federal Reserve this week left its benchmark interest rate at a record low near zero, where it has been for the past seven years. However, in a statement, Fed policymakers said they would be looking at the progress made on its employment and inflation objectives in deciding whether to begin raising rates at its "next meeting."
It marked the first time in the Fed's seven years of low interest rates that officials have suggested that they could raise rates at the next meeting, which will occur Dec. 15-16.
One factor influencing that decision will be the performance of the Fed's favorite gauge of inflation, which is linked to consumer spending. By that measure, inflation has been running below the Fed's 2 percent target for more than three years.

If yo go back to 4QY2006, RSH reported gross profit 665.1m vs rev. 1458.1m, gross margin 45.6%; Today, the 4QY2006 gross profit was changed to 640.7m, push down the gross margin to 43.9%. Why? 4QY2007, gross profit 611.2m vs rev. 1364.3m, the gross margin is 44.8%. If you use old data, 4QY2007 gross margin down 80 basis point but if you use the new data, 4QY2007 gross margin up 90 basis point. Anyone give us an explaination. Mr. Days just want to beat the number by cutting operating expense that account for 1/3 of RSH income. Any more fat can be cut by Mr. Days, I see the bone now.
throw in end of month markups and you have a great exit for the boys pumping this one today.
I told ya guys weeks ago.New payplans that julian put into effect would make more profit.Everybody to damm busy bashing and shorting I hope the shorters jump off a damm building today
I just got back in this turd with a nice short position. Day is an incompetent buffooon.
Naaa, I hope it goes up to $35 like it did a while back. I'll short again and make even more money!

Author has written 16 stories for Twilight, Will of the Empress, August Rush, Junjō Romantica, Sailor Moon, Charmed, Inuyasha, Harry Potter, Card Captor Sakura, Supernatural, Avengers, Death Note, and Fruits Basket.
I am SunShineByMoonlight!
I now have facebook! So look me up and like my page.
Just google 'sunshinebymoonlight' and my facebook comes up. I did it and it worked!!!
I am someone who loves reading and write, however I am extremely forgetful...
I love reading and writing. I have no problems with smut, boy-love, girl-love, (within reason, it's not me so I don't care), religion, etc... I'm probably the most neutral person you can meet. But I am female, straight, Wiccan and find boy-love/slash/yaoi, girl-love/yuri and general romance adorable.
I had a profile on quizilla, but lost interest in that site when I found this one. I have moved my fics from that site and putting them on here.
I wrote Draco's Sailor Moon Experience. Yes, a crossover of Sailor Moon and Harry Potter. Just kidding! It is a parody. It is not to be taken serious and is to be read only by people ready for a good laugh! I want lots reviews and reactions please.
Egoist Break Up was probably one of the hardest things for me write. I love Hiroki and Nowaki so much. I was also a lot younger when I wrote it, so it's not one of my best fanfics. But I won five dollars for writing it. Literally, my friend bet they I couldn't do break them up and I may not have done it well, but I did it. It's JJR so obvious yaoi.
I'll Never Tell is another fun one to read. I had lot's of fun writing it. I will not be making it longer. I like this story being in short segments. This is a boy-love fic.
Now Alice's Dying Wish was a joke between my friend and I. She thinks Alan Rickman who plays Severus Snape in Harry Potter has a sexy voice and she loves Snarry fanfiction. So 1 plus 1= Alice's Dying Wish - just for laughs.
I was reading the Fruits Basket manga and was struck with a what if. What if Kyoko remained a part of Kyo's childhood? What if she made a difference? What if she saved Kyo from a childhood of torment. Kitty Cat Boy does not follow Fruits Basket storyline considering I changed it before Tohru reaches high school. Hana-chan and Uo-chan will be included! It would not be Fruits Basket without Tohru's oddball friends. I have decided it will have Slash/Yaoi, but most pairings are still undecided. Crossover with at least Cardcaptor Sakura and Junjou Romantica.
Just recently I have looked at writing some Shippo from Inuyasha stories. There is a serious lack of cute lil Shippo. I am putting this request out to other fanfiction authors for more Shippo stories. Help populate the stories about Shippo!
As for my Twilight story... it was a lame English assignment. Hate or love it all you like. I really don't care.
I take story requests and would love to hear about story ideas.
I have no problems with negative feedback, however this does not give people the right to be nasty! Note to all idiots: This is fanficion. Fanfiction is by definition impossible to not be OOC. We are not the original writers, so if my version of the characters are OOC so what. Unless I have the rights to the shows I write about I will never be in character, so stick it where the sun don't shine. Yes it is a pun on my pen name.
Oh, and seriously with the sexual content and violence I say HUH!? The most famous stories have it. Breaking Dawn, Lord of the Rings, Junjou Romantica, BLAH BLAH WOOF WOOF. Fifty Shades of Grey is one of the worst written books I've ever read, but people like it because of the sexual content. It is the most thought about and talked about topic on Earth so why is there so much hu-ha?
Unless people haven't guessed I am fed up with all this censorship stuff. I like smut. I have written about smut and will continue to write about smut. So everyone back off and grow up.
PS. Did you know that for a child to watch porn all they have to do is click the pretty little button that says 'yes I am over 18'?
Please enjoy my fanfiction!
Coming soon:
Kitty Cat Boy - Fruits Basket crossover
Any requests?

Tips for Tuesday, February 5
Andrew Bolt

Tell us what's what.
Have Your Say
Andrew, Re. the suggestion earlier on the night, when you were on 2GB, that Rudd could get traction if he took over and removed the C02 tax and giving an apology for introducing it without a mandate and lumping it on Gillard. Sorry it won't work, why? Simply because when the tax was passed in the house of reps, Rudd was photographed with a big smile on his face as he planted a big congratulatory kiss on Gillard's cheek. The libs simply have to wheel out this photo, which was on the front page of many papers at the time and Rudd's hope of distancing himself from its implementation is gone.

Mark Kenny: Numbers shifting back to Rudd
SUPPORT for Kevin Rudd among Labor MPs appears to have grown, placing the former prime minister potentially within striking distance of Prime Minister Julia Gillard in the event of another challenge.
Estimates put his backing as high as 45 votes out of 102 Caucus members, although Ms Gillard's supporters insist it is lower…
At the first ALP caucus meeting for the year, she blamed internal disloyalty for some of Labor's problems, revealing that journalists had told her that MPs had been waiting for the return from holidays to complain about her leadership.
One caucus member, however, said Ms Gillard ''needed to look closer to home''. The MP said Ms Gillard had enjoyed the backing of most MPs during 2012, but this support had noticeably weakened on the back of ''a terrible start'' to the election year…
Ms Gillard's reduced support, confirmed to Fairfax Media by multiple sources from both sides of the caucus, raises the possibility of a second leadership challenge by Mr Rudd, although his supporters say no move is imminent.
Estimates put Mr Rudd's numbers as high as 45 votes - a figure regarded as ''not unrealistic'' by a key Gillard backer, who put it ''closer to 40''.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (12:12am)
Tue 05 Feb 13 (08:49am)
More proof that it's just not Julia Gillard's judgement that is non-existent. Do we really need a megalomaniac again at the helm of this country - haven't we suffered enough?
Why is the AFR trying to deceive readers? The PM is the subject of a criminal complaint.
From Michael Smith's blog.
"Mark Skulley and Laura Tingle write in today's AFR about The AWU Scandal with a focus on Julie Bishop's vow to keep pressing the Prime Minister. I've spoken with Mark today about this paragraph of his report:
Victoria Police's fraud squad now has detectives working on a complaint made by former Sydney radio broadcaster Michael Smith, which dealt with financial dealings involving Ms Gillard's former boyfriend, ex-AWU Victorian state secretary Bruce Wilson.
My Crime Report was about one issue and one person - the Power of Attorney and Julia Gillard."
Tue 05 Feb 13 (12:14am)
I Just got home from Work and switched on the TV to find Al Gore(manbearpig)being interviewed on lateline. Now need a new TV.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (12:19am)
Tue 05 Feb 13 (09:08am)
And he was there supporting Gillard.
If there was no other reason to vote out Gillard, that would be enough.
anthony watts attempt to discredit weather station data, actually confirmed AGW. some weather stations were indeed poorly positioned. but in some cases this actually caused an under estimate of warming. watts admitted that his study was funded by fossil fuel think tank the heartland institute. it must also be considered that weather stations are but one way to gather temperature data . and only cover a part of overall global warming study. is the best you can do geoff of the central coast?
Tue 05 Feb 13 (12:20am)
Tue 05 Feb 13 (08:48am)
"actually confirmed AGW"
I laugh out loud when I read rubbish like this.
No one--not one single climate scientist--will claim that the hypothesis dubbed 'Anthropogenic Global Warming' has been 'confirmed'.
The very furthest I have seen any of them prepared to go is to describe it as a theory.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (09:14am)
Most of what you write is absolute rubbish.
But on who funds Anthony Watts, it is particularly so. If it matters who funds Anthony Watts (and so far you have provided no proof, nor have you provided the funding details) and this somehow affects the validity of his research/work, then it stands to reason that all govt funded AGW research should also be discarded because it is would clearly be influenced by the govt's AGW agenda.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (09:19am)
Way to play the man and not the ball..
So what was wrong with his paper?
Did you actually read it or are you just parroting (un)SkeptikalScience's biased analysis of it?
Interesting that to only think John Cook and his cronies could come up with was to attack the funding too.
Is the best you can do "robert" of Cronulla?
Tue 05 Feb 13 (10:28am)
hawkeye, 90% sure is as close as you will get to confirmation. close enough for anyone with a brain. dianeh. watts admitted his project was funded by heartland. a money trail is not hard to follow. all corporations are forced by law to account for the money they spend. AGW has been around for a century, well before the governments agenda . you have little of relevance to say . heywood. with watts you can safely attack both.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (10:35am)
heywood, what was wrong with his paper? ''it was wrong.'' the poor locations of a small minority of weather stations cancelled each other out. some over estimated warming, some under estimated warming. his plan to totally discredit weather stations failed.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (10:38am)
watts admitted that his study was funded by fossil fuel think tank the heartland institute.
On the subject of funding, Who funds the IPCC chairman?
But I guess that is OK because he is working for the cause.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (10:47am)
As Sydney had a record breaking couple of days other parts of Australia were enjoying a cool summer. Bearing in mind Sydney is only one of many weather stations in Australia. Yesterday we had another beautiful day of 23 degrees max . Today again 23 degrees and surprisingly enough it not due to complete cloud coverage but like Sydney had hot W/NW winds we are enjoying cooling SE's.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (10:53am)
robert, you have written a pile of ignorant incoherent balderdash in your life however, this tops the bill.
By the way, his name is Anthony Watts, you may not respect your own name but please extend a common courtesy to others. Please note I spell your name the way you obviously want it to be presented and as such there is no hypocrisy.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (11:59am)
"90% sure is as close as you will get to confirmation. close enough for anyone with a brain."
And you pluck the figure of 90% from where, precisely?
Uh huh.
You can't cite a single reputable source to back up your claims of 'confirmation', because there isn't one.
Not. One. Anywhere.
(And the insult merely betrays your own failings in that department.)
Tue 05 Feb 13 (12:45pm)
Is that the head of the IPCC Pachauri taking money from WWF?
Isn't he a railway engineer?
So the head of the Climate Change gurus is as qualified to discuss climate change as "robert" of Cronulla?
I suppose Pachauri as as qualified as a certain paleontologist.
Dennis Shanahan: PM has danger of challenge in mind
JULIA Gillard is moving into a new phase of blaming her colleagues - especially, but not only, Kevin Rudd - for the dire position of her government.
The Prime Minister's mind is clearly on the danger of a challenge to her leadership and she appears distrustful and accusatory towards her cabinet and caucus colleagues.
For their part, even her supporters are confused and uneasy about her explanations and the response from Rudd's supporters is to do absolutely nothing.
If the blame-shifting is a tactic to draw Rudd into another premature leadership move, as was the case a year ago, it's not working…
Gillard is being made to accept responsibility for her own tactical and strategic decisions.
A series of apparent false steps and flawed decisions from Gillard has put Labor back to where it was last year on 32 per cent primary support in Newspoll, with Tony Abbott breathing down her neck as preferred prime minister.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (12:20am)
If Rudd comes back how long is it for?
Arts and Regional Development Minister Simon Crean talking on Kevin Rudd..............
''I think he is an asset and we should use him, but it has to be a disciplined asset,''
Mr Crean was one of Mr Rudd's harshest critics last year but believes the party would benefit from his popularity.
Transport Minister Anthony Albanese also talking of Rudd............
''We need to engage Kevin Rudd and use him wherever possible. He's a very popular figure, there's no doubt about that.
In both statements by people who named him to paraphrase a nut etc just 12 months ago it is not make use of him or his talents but to USE him.
Back 2007. Gillard unelectable get Kev to front and then replace him. Fast forward 2013 use Kev to front and in 2014 get rid of him.
Are they forgetting the advertisments THEY wrote for the Liberal Party? As usual all this goes to show is how disfunctional they really are.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (12:24am)
Tue 05 Feb 13 (09:52am)
fantastic boost to our fortunes..they have got to be joking.
He is a dud as he was before, Labor thinks we stupid and forgotten that Rudd started the destruction of Australia and J Gillard is finishing what Rudd started they are the same.
So Rudd is to save us from Gillard the person that was to save us from himself, it's the ludicrous policies, the wasteful spending, the woeful rants and constant lies, election now, get rid of this Green union infested Labor sham.
That dud picture of Rudd with a chainsaw, not a drop of sweat and dressed for the office, give us a break.
Ms Gillard told her MPs that journalists had complained to her that when they returned from leave they had messages waiting from MPs offering "negative assessments".
That makes them drones not journalists.
In response to the issues raised in Watts' report, researchers at the National Climatic Data Center analyzed the temperature trends derived from stations that Watts had identified as poorly sited and compared these data with stations Watts had identified as well-sited. Their paper, titled "On the reliability of the U.S. Surface Temperature Record" was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres in 2010.[36] The researchers concluded that average temperature trends were not artificially inflated by station site quality, however they did find, "a mean bias associated with poor exposure sites relative to good exposure sites". This bias was apparently due to the data adjustments Watts had criticized but the bias did not show the expected artificial warm trend (from the photographic and eyewitness evidence gathered in Watts report).[37] In fact, the poorly sited stations showed a significant artificial cool trend in maximum temperatures.

More stolen text from Little Robert.
This is taken from the font of all credible information, Wikipedia.
I wonder if William Connolly has edited this one too.
Anthony Watts has more knowledge on climate science than you have in your little toe "robert". When is YOUR paper being published?
Tue 05 Feb 13 (09:32am)
...and a quick look at the editing history of Watts' Wikipedia entry shows a lot of edits by someone who is linked to William Connolley.
More credibility lost robert.....
Tue 05 Feb 13 (10:41am)
it is cut and pasted heywood not stolen. either way what it says is correct. watts has published nothing on climate science that has been peer reviewed or published in a science journal , apart from his weather stations paper. and that was discredited. i am not the one questioning the science i do not need to publish anything. the onus is on critics to come out with an alternative to AGW to explain global warming. they never do. or they never publish anything that gets endorsed or taken seriously. if this was a boxing match deniers would have failed to even enter the ring
Tue 05 Feb 13 (10:56am)
Provide links or go away. You need to enable people to follow to the source or we will all think you are making it up.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (12:16pm)
'it is cut and pasted heywood not stolen.'
From Dictionary.com—
1. an act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the original author[/i]
My emphasis.
This has been done to death and clearly, little robert is a very slow learner.
No credit = plagiarism
As for the rest of the drivel in little robert's 10.41am comment, since he refuses to provide references and refuses to answer legitimate questions, I cannot be bothered debating him.
I don't debate self-identifying illiterates.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (01:05pm)
if this was a boxing match deniers would have failed to even enter the ring
What like your reluctance to even attempt to explain the Met Offices' dodgy predictions and subsequent cover up as I pointed out yesterday?
Tue 05 Feb 13 (01:51pm)
if this was a boxing match deniers would have failed to even enter the ring
Using your analogy, thats because they would have knocked-out the warmist in the car park. Thats how seriously poor your theories are. And by the way, in response to one of your previous replies - 90% is not 100%, only 100% is 100%. Therefore, 90% sure of something is not 100% - ergo, not fact!
Tue 05 Feb 13 (12:25am)
Can someone please tell Emma on Lateline that living in a tent in humid conditions is not all that bad. Ask the poor people of Bundaberg who have lost their homes and have taken up lodging in the sports grounds in tents. I doubt they will be getting 3 free meals a day, free internet and free phone calls and some of them look like they are going to be there much longer than those on Manus Island. Perhaps the do gooders of the UN might like to comment on this or either put their hands into their very well lined pockets and offer some help.

Totally agree with you G.O. and add to that the fact that the flood appeal is well below expectations - the flood (excuse pun) of comments re the appointment of Mackenroth (what could Newman have been thinking) and the flood tax last time around have dried up compassion, well done Juliar.

I know of two families who live in tents in North Western Victoria. One of these families has 4 children, and are homeschooling them. They are trying to save for a deposit on a home. They say on hot nights the tent is cooler than caravans. I think the cold months would be harder than the hot ones.
The families I have met that live in tents are not complaining about their circumstances, but both looked on the positive side of life. I got the feeling from one, she was happy and content, but had to spend a fair bit of time convincing others not to feel sorry for her.

pudel(9.25am). I go hiking every year for about 6 weeks...normally 2x3 weeks. I (we) carry everything. It costs about $1-$2 per day in food etc (counting tea and coffeeeven ).
During this time I (we) camp in small tents or else stay overnight in very basic huts. No electricity..no running water...no beds....very often no furniture in the huts apart from tables and occasional seats (upturned kero tins for example), no electrical gizmos whatsoever. No fresh food unless a fish or rabbit is caught.
When it rains we get wet. When it snows we get cold. When it's hot we stop and go for a swim..then relax in the shade and relax!
So what's the big deal for all these people complaining that their power was off for a few days? Or else that they've spent their dough on tatts and smokes. What's all this whinging and moaning?

no one mentioned that well connected tireless self promoter ,& well known egotist,Bill Shorten
how did that happen?
Obviously neither he or his mum were listening to show as neither called in...........

The Oz: Draft law doesn't have to happen: Dreyfus
AFTER weathering an avalanche of criticism over its approach to free speech, the federal government is becoming exasperated with attacks on its proposed consolidation of discrimination law.
New Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus revealed Labor's frayed nerves on the same day that free-speech advocates rejected a government backdown as inadequate.
Mr Dreyfus, who was sworn in as Attorney-General yesterday, said the consolidation of five federal anti-discrimination acts "does not have to happen".
While he still intends to push ahead, his statement marks a break with the approach of predecessor Nicola Roxon, who repeatedly stated the "main objective of this project is to simplify and consolidate many laws into one".
Mr Dreyfus said the amalgamation and simplification of the five statutes was a "worthy aim".
"It doesn't have to happen," he told Sky News when asked specifically whether the consolidation of the laws was essential…
He later issued a statement saying the government had always been focused on delivering a bill that consolidates existing laws.

About time such religious advertising was tackled:
ahmood Ali, 54, fell out with residents and planners over the Arabic slogan which reads: "There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger".
He claims it is just a proclamation of his faith and he should be allowed to write whatever he wants in a free country.
But the council said it contravenes planning laws which are designed to stop people placing advertising hoardings on their homes.

"I chose the sign's green colour to reflect the ambience of the property's character and its surroundings."
Green is the traditional colour of Islam, stated many times in the Quran. An example of taqiyya practiced on the ignorant infidel.
The sign was just plain ugly. Wonder how Mr. Ali would feel if a Christian erected a similar signage, declaring Jesus as the Son of God, in his neighborhood or his country of origin.
A reasonably balanced approach to the Jon Faine vs Mike Smith and Mark Baker matter from Jonathan Holmes on Media Watch last night.

Tue 05 Feb 13 (12:42am)
Tue 05 Feb 13 (09:18am)
I stated this exact same thing yesterday that this Government will go down as the WORST government ever in Australia's history! We would have been rid of this incompetent, smug lot 2 years ago if only she had the nerve to call an early election! Gillard is seriously deluded about her importance and as for Rudd, well the original misogynist - women in his own party won't work for him! he is the original bully of political female members!

"We would have been rid of this incompetent, smug lot 2 years ago..."

The paper titled "CLIMATE CHANGE: THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT IS BOGUS" is an interesting read for those who would appreciate an alternative to the "consensus science" we keep hearing from the Prime Minister.
The term "consensus science" has also been given another meaning by those who have delved into its origin,
Tue 05 Feb 13 (12:44am)
Tue 05 Feb 13 (09:50am)
fulcrum, all science is consensus science. that how science works. a consensus is formed until evidence over turns that consensus and a new consensus is formed. there is a consensus that smoking causes cancer, a consensus that we have evolved, a consensus that there was an ice 10,000 years ago. the list is very long. there is also a consensus on global warming until someone comes along with evidence that shows otherwise. as of yet no evidence has been put forward.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (10:25am)
Haven't got around to learning what scientific burden of proof is yet huh "robert"?
Might as well look up "Argumentum ad populum" whilst you are at it.
Myself and many of the readers on this blog have come to a consensus that "robert" of "cronulla" is not a credible source of information on anything, especially climate science, that is, until someone comes along with evidence that shows otherwise. As of yet no evidence has been put forward.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (10:50am)
fulcrum, all science is consensus science
100% wrong. When Boltzmann proposed his statistical theory of electronic energy levels he went against the consensus. But he was right and the consensus was wrong.
Please tell us how many degrees in science you have. Since the answer is plainly zero, please refer to this explanation of the confidence that you express in your opinions.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (12:51pm)
Dr C,
RE:Dunning?Kruger effect.
Could not describe "robert" any better.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (02:05pm)
@Robert, sorry mate - science is not derived from "consensus". Science is derived from the catch phrase "observable, repeatable and verifiable". There is no fact/science/proof for evolution, there is no fact/science/proof about the ice age (or even the date) - all there is "theories". Theories are not fact. All we have are people with their agendas shouting out, getting louder and louder, till it drowns everyone else out. Example, the LGBT movement; 5-8% of the population (a minority) can successfully push for policies and changes against the majority's wishes. He who shouts the loudest gets heard - but it doesnt mean he is right though.
robert saves the world converting one Bolt reader at a time.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (12:49am)
Tue 05 Feb 13 (09:52am)
laurie, a thousand mile march begins with the first step. who is that one bolt reader?
Tue 05 Feb 13 (11:00am)
But a single fact destroys the hypothesis. robert, with his deceptive cut and paste and deliberate misinformation, coupled with a failure to link or cite his sources shows that his idea of a journey of a thousand miles steps off in the wrong direction.
Tue 05 Feb 13 (12:46pm)
@ Angry God…
On the contrary, AG, robert has already reached the end of his "journey"… When he awakes, he may realize he has surfaced some 30,000,000 km from where he thought he would…
That's what happens when you allow yourself to become the unquestioning acolyte of bottom feeders.....
Oh, and about that one Bolt Reader you might convert, robby… I reckon you have done a great job on the Crazy Mare!!!
The media frequently uses terms such as "former cop", "former pollie", "former sportstar", "former priest" when it suits them to either add insult or to laud as the case may be.
A person's prior occupations should have no bearing on how a current action is to be judged by the public. But it might make for a good story.

Hi there,
I am trying to use W3 Total Cache for my site (http://www.mediatribune.de) but am running into issues with an e-Commerce-Plugin ("Dippsy", see: http://dippsy.cz.cc or http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dippsy) we use to process so called "PREMIUM Content".
The issue:
If I place an order while W3 Total Cache is active, the PayPal-IPN-process doesn't work; after buying, the customer should receive an email with a download-link to his / her product. This mail however is never sent out if W3 is running in the background. I tried excluding the plugin-directory with the page cache (wp-content/plugins/dippsy/* & wp-content/dippsy/*) but that doesn't work...
Anybody have similar issues? Can I somehow setup that the IPN-information is not cached or similar?
Sadly, I didn't get any suport from the plugin-author @ Dippsy...
Help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

I really enjoy this plugin. Unfortunately I have this little issue and couldn't find any answer here.
When using a shortcode in a post/page its whole content is not processed by the core WP formatter that adds automatically f.ex. paragraph tags when empty lines are recognized. How can I have this behavior back again when using a shortcode?
Thanks for your advices!

It wasn't by chance that at least three people who suffered heart attacks were saved by AEDs in the last two years in the Evergreen area.
Evergreen resident David Montesi started the nonprofit Evergreen Public Access Defibrillation 13 years ago, and it has installed 59 automated external defibrillators, or AEDs, for free in public areas.
Since being crowned at the Evergreen Rodeo this past June, Queen Lauren Hladik and Princess Alexis Lundahl have been riding in area rodeos. Lauren and Alexis also make appearances at community events, and are planning to present awards at this year's annual Big Chili Cook-off in Evergreen on Sept. 12.
"I love the family aspect of rodeo," says Lauren, who moved up from princess to queen this year. "It's like a giant family. It's so great to work together."
From a pink pig sculpture with wings to intricately designed jewelry, the 49th annual Evergreen Fine Arts Festival featured a wealth of creative talent last weekend.
If you've ever known a hunter or a fisherman, you know their tales can be as long-winded as a hot-air balloon with a slow leak. StageDoor Theatre's upcoming production of "Escanaba in Da Moonlight" is a hilarious laugh fest that presents a hunting story to beat all hunting stories. If you're looking for a hysterically funny glimpse into traditional male rites of passage (both hunting and tall-tale telling), all roads lead to Escanaba.
The Evergreen Nature Center at Evergreen Lake operates on a limited budget provided by revenue from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District and fund-raising efforts of Evergreen Audubon, its managing organization, said Vanessa Hayes, director of the center.
"The majority of our income is through donations," she said.
The annual Bootstraps Inc. Winefest had a special twist this year: a wheel that attendees whirled around while trying their luck at winning a bottle of wine.
The event giveaway booth at the fund-raising event on Saturday also offered participants a chance to win a trip to Italy to tour wine country.
Festival-goer Jessi Moots was into the spirit of the event while sporting "wine-glasses," a creative version of eyewear featuring wine-glass shapes on the frames.
Teachers at Evergreen Middle School have put a creative spin on the new school year.
On Monday, they decorated cars and drove them parade-style to Evergreen's elementary schools and Evergreen High School to start the new school year on a high note. School starts on Aug. 17.
Robert Marlin — a man called a "living legend among the emergency medical services community" in Clear Creek County — died on Saturday, Aug. 1.
He was 63.
An Evergreen family learned two valuable lessons when they hosted a lemonade stand on a recent warm summer morning: While Evergreen residents like lemonade, Jeffco sheriff's deputies like it even more.
"A rainfall of ducks! So beautiful," exclaimed Evergreen resident Judith Hill on Saturday afternoon.
Hill was in a crowd gathered at the base of the Evergreen Lake dam watching about 4,000 plastic ducks cascade in massive splendor into the water. The dramatic release of the little yellow fellows from the top of the dam marked the start of the sixth annual Dam Ducky Derby sponsored by the Evergreen Downtown Business Association.

Student Employment Wage Classifications
The State of California increased the minimum wage to $10.00 per hour effective January 1, 2016. To ensure compliance, CP&R, which oversees student employment, has partnered with Human Resources to recommend standard wage classifications for all on-campus student employment positions. This initiative will establish equity among student positions across the College and provide clarity as we continue to assess budget constraints/needs for student employment. Senior staff has reviewed and approved the following wage classifications to be put into effect July 1, 2016. Read the Official Memo here.
- Student Assistant I – $10.00
- Student Assistant II – $10.50
- Student Assistant III – $11.00
In rare cases, supervisors may request a special wage at $12.00 per hour for consideration based on responsibilities that far exceed those outlined within the existing wage classifications.
The Student Employment Coordinator, located in CP&R, is available to help with questions regarding policies and procedures, posting and promoting open positions, and best practices in supervising student employees. For more information, contact Niah Grimes or call (909) 621-8180.
Request for Student Employment
Complete the Request for Student Employment annually for each student employment position in your department. Requests may take 3-5 business days to process. Once approved, you will receive a confirmation email from the Student Employment Coordinator with a partially completed Personnel Action Form (PAF) for each position. Then positions will be posted in ClaremontConnect, Scripps' central online job board for students. Set up a personal orientation to ClaremontConnect and learn how to post your positions online.
To hire a student for your open position, please complete and submit a PAF to Human Resources. New hires (any student that has not worked for Scripps in any capacity in the last 12 months) must complete the paperwork listed below:
- 2015-16 Student Employee Supervisor Handbook (Please note these will be updated to reflect the new wage classifications.)
- Request for Student Employment Form
- Ultipro Employment Portal Job Aid (Manager)
- Student Employment Sample Job Duties
Notice to Students
Student employment experiences offer students a double incentive: earn money to help meet college expenses while gaining valuable job experience. In the competitive job market, employers value work experience among new graduates, an many on-campus departments hire students as employees.
Federal Work-Study (FWS) eligibility is determined by the Office of Financial Aid. For specific questions about your federal work-study award, contact Julia Sundstrom. Note that your FWS status does not guarantee you a job. You are responsible for the job search process including researching, applying, and interviewing for the positions.
Additional Student Employee Resources:
- 2015-16 Student Employee Handbook
- Managing Student Employment Hours
- Ultipro Employment Portal Job Aid (Employee)
New Hire Paperwork
If you have not worked at Scripps College within the past 12 months, you will need to complete a New Hire Paperwork Packet. Use this New Hire Checklist as you complete the following required forms. Pick up a New Hire Paperwork packet in Human Resources.
- I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification (A list of acceptable documents is on page 9 of this form; copies are unacceptable. Page 8 will be completed by HR when you submit your paperwork)

- W4 Form (Federal Income Tax Form)

Searching for Jobs on Campus
CP&R provides a centralized online database called ClaremontConnect, formerly known as The Gateway, to post all on- and off-campus jobs including work-study, non-work-study, and internship positions.

Sample Sentences & Example Usage
For those who are on the roof become insolent as they don't know yet about the slope and the slipperiness of the roof!
Consider, and you will find that almost all the transactions of the time of Vespasian differed little from those of the present day. You there find marrying and giving in marriage, educating children, sickness, death, war, joyous holidays, traffic, agriculture, flatterers, insolent pride, suspicions, laying of plots, longing for the death of others, newsmongers, lovers, misers, men canvassing for consulship?yet all these passed away, and are nowhere.
Austin Powers International Man of Mystery:
Dr. Evil The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

I tried three different trials of contacts during that month when I finally got what was a perfect fit for me I was very happy, without forgetting the long hours waiting for her every time plus all her comments, like "it took you more time to decide to purchase than actually put the contacts on" or " will you go to a dentist without teeth" or " well, you can stand this or this so what do you want me to do? You can not see well with any of them". So basically you do not expect that your doctor will treat you like that...
At the end I got the two boxes, and when I finished with my trials, I put the ones I have purchased on to find out that the right eye was a wrong prescription because it was one of the trials I have tried during the initial process but it did not fit well. So I went there to get an exchange and they gave me a lot of excuses, like I had an infection on my eye, and they told me that it was the right prescription so to see was going on I needed to make another appointment meaning more money and obviously I said no because I am %100 sure what I was putting on my eyes, I'm not a 5 years old kid.
During the argument the doctor was screaming to me and to friend of mine, who was with me at that time even when my friend is a disable person, she yelled at us telling us get out of my store i am going to call the police, you both are going to jail, she just did not care at all, I told her that i was about to report her but she did not care, then and then she grabbed the boxes and kept them and never gave me my prescription, I have tried to contact them to get back my stuff that I paid for even when those are wrong and to get my wrong prescription also that they say its right, so I can go to another doctor and compare, and Again bunch of excuses and not results. My insurance tried to contact them too and there is no answer.
She misdiagnose She gave a wrong prescription She stole my money and my product She humiliated me and my friend who is disable She has a lot of reports and complaints about the same issue on the internet She assaulted us verbally with big words Unprofessional doctor, she does not know how to do well her work

New York, October 31, 2011 -- Moody's downgraded MF Global Holdings Ltd (MF Global) senior debt
to Caa1 from Ba2 and its preferred shares to C from B1 following the firm's
October 31, 2011 bankruptcy filing. The ratings remain under
The Caa1 senior rating reflects Moody's current view of the expected
recovery value for MF Global's senior creditors considering the
preponderance of liquid assets held at fair value on MF Global's
balance sheet. The downgrade of preferred shares to C represents
the expected high severity of losses due to the shares' deep subordination
in the capital structure. Moody's also withdrew several shelf ratings.
The review will focus on the potential sale of assets or legal entities
and will examine the extent to which the liquidation of MF Global's
remaining sovereign exposure may impact holding company bondholders'
recovery rates.
The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Securities Industry
Methodology published in December 2006. Please see the Credit Policy
page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.

Swiss business school IMD has become the latest European school to sign up with the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business to run executive short courses. CKGSB was China's first private business school.
The partnership between the two schools is for a three-and-a-half day programme to run on IMD's campus in Lausanne. The programme, China Strategy Challenge, will be taught jointly by IMD and CKGSB professors and is intended for senior European executives who want to know how to do business in China, although the programme will dovetail with CKGSB's CEO programme, which will bring Chinese executives into the classroom too.
CKGSB is very business-focused, says Dominique Turpin, president of IMD, the executive short course specialist. "It is a school that has picked up an interesting niche."
IMD professor Bill Fischer says many business schools teach how to do business in China but it is essential to meet Chinese business leaders. "Chinese CEOs are exhilarating and have the belief that they are building the future. They are … and Europeans need to learn how to work with them".
CKGSB set up its European headquarters in London in September 2011. In 2012 the Chinese ran a short programme for entrepreneurs with the University of Cambridge's Judge Business School.

Need for Speed Underground 2
Be the king of a much bigger street this time out.
Instead, Underground 2 is almost a completely different game, with more complex handling, more tuning options, a hell of a lot more races, and a free-roaming city in the Grand Theft Auto style to house it all. That last part is the most interesting addition, because while it's the game's greatest asset, it's also the source of some new and nagging problems.
The first few legs of the game are no problem, as you come to grips with the way this game controls in comparison to the original. There's more diversity of handling, is the best way to put it -- while most of the cars in the original Underground had a similar arcade feel, there's a greater breadth of driving styles available in the sequel, and it takes some more time to learn each one. Four-wheel-drive cars have a drifty rally-car feel, shorter front-wheel-drive cars nose through the corners neatly, and the fastest rear-wheel-drive cars are half-controllable beasts. Something like a Toyota Supra will approach the limit of what human reflexes can control with perhaps two-thirds of the available performance modifications bolted on, which seems quite appropriately realistic. Hard though it may be to handle, it's a blast to unwind out on the open freeway -- though the handling in this sequel may be a little deeper than before, the first game's sensation of speed is still very much intact.
Sensibly enough, the new race formats added for the sequel -- URL circuit races and street-cross competitions -- are tests of handling ability more than raw power. Street-cross is especially interesting. The courses in those competitions are very wide, with large, open cornering sections. The track doesn't make the best racing line obvious, so players have to actually study the course and work out the best way through it instead of simply steering with the walls.
New peformance tuning options add to the depth of the game's handling model, and Underground 2 handles them the right way, given the audience it has and the audience it's trying to go for. To begin with, you don't necessarily need to mess with your settings at all, if you don't want to -- an unmodified car can still win races -- but there are multiple levels of tuning depending on the effort you want to put in and the benefit you want to get out of it. Casual tuners can use options to automatically set up a car for a specific race format (widening the gears for drag, tightening the suspension for street-cross, and so on), and then hardcore tuners can mess around with the guts of their rides in detail.
Turn even your junk Corolla into a mean street racer.
For most players, of course, messing with a car's guts will take a back seat to customizing its exterior. The cosmetic options in Underground 2 aren't likely to disappoint any of them, offering as they do everything from four layers of vinyl stickers to carbon fiber side mirrors. A car jacked up to the style meter's 10-star maximum will have a blinking neon undercarriage, gigantic rims, a complete road-hugging body kit, chameleonic pearlescent paint, trick scissor doors, a split-up-the-middle hood, huge gulping roof scoops, UFO-caliber lights front and back, carbon fiber everything, custom boost and tacho gauges on the HUD, window tinting an MRI couldn't penetrate, 15-inch subwoofers and LCD monitors banging in the trunk, and just about everything else imaginable except fuzzy dice (note to EA: put fuzzy dice in Underground 3). Every different part type has an acceptably sizable selection of parts, and some areas go well beyond that, especially the wheel lineup. EA's included several wheel types that aren't even on the market anymore -- it's nice to be able to pick something like the Enkei Shogun, since I don't particularly like the Arashi model that's replaced it in real life.
There's a fun, if slightly goofy extra mode available that ties in to all the cosmetic modifications. The idea is that reaching certain star levels draws magazines that want to put your car on their cover -- win a brief time attack race, and then you get to pose your car and snap a picture. The posing controls are more than a little ass-backwards, but it's nice to have the option at all. However, this mode also highlights one of the big holes in both the customization system and the game in general. As mentioned above, you can customize your audio setup in the trunk, buying new layouts and new components to fill them with. However, they don't actually do much to the sound you hear in the game -- they're just there for looks.
Audio presentation is Underground 2's Achilles' heel. There's nothing wrong with the sound design -- there are actually some great surround effects in a tight race, plus neat variations in engine notes with the addition of new tuning parts -- and there's nothing wrong with the music in and of itself. Most of the tracks are actually quite good, and the diversity of genres is quite acceptable. The problem is that there just isn't enough of it.
What the city in Underground 2 reveals is that Grand Theft Auto's radio system isn't just an expensive extra. It's a critical part of the package, because players would go crazy without it. When you're spending this much time cruising from point A to point B on streets you've seen plenty of times before, there has to be some way of breaking the monotony -- something like flipping channels on the radio. Imagine a GTA game with only 20-some songs on the soundtrack and no way to change channels. Now imagine that you can't even get out of the car.
All those decibels, and only for show.
Ever since this occurred to me, I've about driven myself crazy thinking of all the things EA could have done with the audio presentation in this game. Besides throwing in more music, it would have been easy to make the audio far more interactive, and even make it part of the customizing and upgrading systems. Songs could be a commodity to buy and trade, or a reward to unlock. Buying tuning parts like CD changers and MP3 players could unlock bigger and more customizable playlists. Beat someone in an Outrun race and they might shoot you a new track afterward. All that potential, and instead we just have the usual lineup of less than two dozen licensed songs. Adding insult to injury, the Xbox version doesn't let players use their own music in the game.
The free-roaming city also becomes a hindrance in the Outrun race mode, where you can have an impromptu duel with another car on the streets in the style of the Tokyo Xtreme Racer games. These are fun sometimes, but frustrating most of the time, because the way EA has tweaked the TXR formula makes it almost impossible to gain the lead required to win without simply crashing your opponent or shoving them into a wrong turn. The Outrun system also occasionally flubs up which racer has the lead after a wreck or a lead change in a broad intersection. You can be pulling away from your opponent after a crash, but the game will suddenly decide you're not in the lead -- hence, you lose the race almost before you can react. Also frustrating is the requirement that players spend time hunting around for the hidden part shops in town. They're not that hard to find, but it doesn't add much to the experience. This is a racing game, not a scavenger hunt.
After airing those complaints, though, let's look at what's good about the city. The most important factor, outweighing most of its problems, is the intelligent layout. It's just about the right size, big enough to be varied and small enough to keep things close together, and packs in about all the different types of terrain you'd like. There are tight downtown streets, encircling boulevards, the fast freeway beltline, open spaces down in the industrial section, and tight winding roads up in the mountains for the Initial D set. It looks beautiful, too, from the uptown mansions to the brightly-lit city core, at least on the platforms that got the most attention during the development process.
Creating the free-roaming city for Underground 2 was worth the effort, though, even if it's not a completely successful experiment. Once you've unlocked the entire area and learned how to get around on the surface streets and freeways, it creates a remarkable sense of immersion in the environment. It doesn't just feel like a collection of scattered race tracks, it feels like a real world, with the player a unique little speck in the middle of it. It means something now, being the "king of the street," when all of those streets are laid out in front of you.

Room was clean and adequate
No shampoo, walls paper thin and ice machine takes quarters. Good stay otherwise but $70-100 seems steep for no frills!
The hot tub and swimming pool.
No phone in the room for a wake up call. The beds could of been better. And the sheets keep pull up off the bed every time you turned around. NEED NEW SHEETS.
The staff was accommodating and professional. The space was good.
The equipment in the room was not all well maintained. The breakfast offerings were weak.
Met all expectations--nice room, good brkfst.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,
please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

normally wp time machine shows up under settings on the left side.... however after upgrading wp time machine ( and making sure it is active ) the wp time machine link no longer shows up.
I love your plugin ( I use it before I do core updates to back up )!
I have the same situation on two different installs:
Wordpress 3.2.1 / wp time machine 220.127.116.11
Wordpress 3.3.2 / wp time machine 22.214.171.124
On the 3.2.1. version I WAS able to get the wp time machine backup dashboard but it when I tired backing up to s3 this is what I got:
Any suggestions? Many thanks!
