Hi Fiona, I don't think LinkWithin deters comments, but that's me. I kinda like it actually...

I like it because enthusiastic new readers (like me)can get quick and easy links back to older posts...and the photos give the reader an idea of what the post is about and entices them in.

Hmmm... well I never use the Linkwithin. And to be honest, I think that esthetically it takes away from the actual post. But that's me too :)

fiona, I agree with the post above (first I had to figure out what LinkWithin was). It may detract from the beautiful imagery - maybe it detracts from the "comment" button. Either way, it doesn't stop me. :-)

Though I am not a usual suspect, I love that you admit how much you appreciate comments! Love this photo of the typewriter--have one similar myself....

Good morning - great to see you all here!
Thanks for the comments!
I like the Linkwithin because Cafe Cartolina has grown in readership really fast in the last 6 months and there are a lot of cool posts/images from the first 6 months that many of you will have missed. By the end of the day I should know what the general consensus is about Linkwithin!
I really appreciate your comments and on my part I am going to take the time to respond to comments every day.

I agree. I like reading the comments too, even though I'm usually too busy WORKING in the Cartolina factory.....

I agree with you Fiona, for me inkWithin is a great way to keep old posts active. My blog is new enough that I want the posts I do now to be really accessible to readers going forward (let's hope I get more readers!) But I'll be watching your comments today to see what people say - your theory makes so much sense!
And I want more comments too!

Ciao Fiona, as always nice cartoline! :D ciao. Italo.

I'm back from my week off and I just wanted to say that I like the Linkwithin. I like everything about your blog. Carry on.

- Janine said...
I'm not a fan of linkwithin; it clutters up the blog. If there's a new blog that I discover, part of the joy is going back through all their old posts organically to discover what I've been missing.

- sweetsweetlife said...
I've been wondering the same thing about my blog...thanks for bringing this up! I don't get a ton of comments anyway, but people do seem to use the linkwithin feature alot. I do think, though, that it is pretty unattractive. I'll be watching to see what your brilliant readers have to say!
- August 12, 2009 at 8:43 AM
- Cameron Blazer said...
I love LinkWithin for the opportunity to discover old posts (though in your case I spent one whole afternoon about 3 months ago catching up on every post since the beginning!), and I think that because your posts are always full of such beautiful imagery the linked within images do not detract from the visual.
And I share your love of comments. Most bloggers do what we do to catalog some of our interests or some aspect of our lives, and for that alone the process is worthwhile. But it is so much more fun when others with similar interests and experiences chime in to offer their two cents. Yay, comments!
- August 12, 2009 at 8:52 AM
- cartolina said...
These are all very interesting comments - thanks! Nice to see you back Anna!
So far I think that Linkwithin is a positive feature(I have to say that I like it because I visit a lot of blogs, but not every day, so I have likely missed a few posts in the past.)
- August 12, 2009 at 9:22 AM
- ks said...
I have linkwithin on my blog too, but I never thought about it as a deterrent to comments...hmm.
I like it on yours because I always see something new. I would love to go back to the beginning and read all your posts, but time is limited, and I use that tool to read a few per day.
On my own blog, I see posts I forgot I wrote, and that's fun. But I have swiss cheese instead of memory, so that's just me.
Love your blog so much.
Also, as a blogger, love comments.
Have you seen Julie and Julia? You must go if not. Great scene when Julie gets her first blog comment.
I think we all can relate.

- fancylinda said...
Hi, I'm a newer reader and I don't comment very often, but I think you hit the nail on the head when you described what you think happens. I start clicking and reading older posts, then I follow the links and eventually get sidetracked and forget to come back. I'll try to remedy that!
- August 12, 2009 at 12:33 PM
- jan said...
You know, I wish people would comment more on my blog, and I have no idea why they don't. I know they are there, but so few comment. Is it because I don't have time to comment on their's? Or maybe my conversation doesn't create conversation back? I too have the linkd within and like the feature personally - maybe it does deter commenters here, not sure...
- August 12, 2009 at 12:48 PM
- jan said...
that was no help - was it?
- August 12, 2009 at 12:53 PM
- shawn angela said...
Great to read the input re this feature.I was thinking of adding it to my blog but I'm going to wait to see what you decide (the easy way out).Missed your usual post for today....it felt ,well, out of sorts.
See you tomorrow!
ps Doug, if Fiona lets you out for air, my other half will meet you in N Dakota, which he explained the significance of.......
- August 12, 2009 at 6:43 PM
- cartolina said...
Thanks for all the comments people! That's what I like to see!
I think I will keep Linkwithin for now.
Thanks for visiting! you are a huge part of why I blog :-)
- August 12, 2009 at 6:48 PM
- Temps perdu said...
Dearest Fiona, I think the LinkWithins are fine. You´re so sweet.
I mentioned your blog in mine today. If you have time, have a quick peek as there´s something divine and from japan...
- August 13, 2009 at 10:36 AM
- Suzanne said...
That is a very good point! I have it on my blog, but I don't get many comments to begin with so I'm not sure how that feature affects it.
I personally like it - helps me get caught up on things for new blogs I'm exploring, or reminders of things I've read & liked before.
To be perfectly honest, the only thing that usually stops me from commenting on other people's blogs is if I repeatedly leave comments and never hear back from them at all (either via reply, or comment on my blog).

Scumbag who killed garda charged with driving and drugs offences
The scumbag responsible for the death of Garda Gerry McLoughlin in 2009 is back in court again, this time for drugs and driving offences.
Garda McLoughlin died in hospital 24 hours after Martin McDermott, who had 91 previous convictions, rammed his patrol car in Burt in December 2009.
Garda Gary McLoughlin
The native of Ballinamore, Co Leitrim, was just 24 years old.
McDermott (31) was speeding towards Derry when he steered his stolen Opel Astra into Garda McLoughlin's patrol car.
He was jailed for seven years in July 2011 after being found guilty of manslaughter.
There was uproar when he escaped from the low-security open prison at Loughan House in Co Cavan just eight months later.
He had just 14 days added to his prison sentence for that escape.
When rearrested in Derry eight days after his escape, he assaulted PSNI officers and was jailed for four months in the North for that and for resisting arrest and disorderly behaviour before being extradited back to Ireland.
When he was returned to jail in the Republic of Ireland, McDermott was disciplined at least 10 times for bad behaviour which included threatening other inmates as well as prison officers and being caught in possession of prohibited items.
Martin McDermott
McDermott appeared before Derry Magistrates Court yesterday, along with 35-year-old Gary Dobbins charged with four drug charges linked to the seizure of 5,600 diazepam tablets, as well as conspiring with two other men to supply the tablets.
Both men are alleged to have committed the offences on March 26 of this year.
McDermott is also charged with offering to supply or sell Lyrica and with driving while disqualified and driving without insurance on the same day.
Dobbins is also charged with driving without insurance and while disqualified, driving without due care and attention and failing to stop for a police officer.
Opposing bail, a PSNI officer said that McDermott had 99 previous criminal convictions in the Republic and 11 in Northern Ireland.
"He was disqualified from driving for 20 years in the Republic of Ireland following the death of a Garda colleague yet he continues to drive without having a driver's licence," she told the court.
The officer told the court that the drugs raids were carried out following an investigation into large amounts of diazepam which were intercepted by Royal Mail staff.
The police witness said 5,600 diazepam tablets posted to McDermott's home address were intercepted by the police in September last year.
McDermott's home address was searched on October 21 last year and police found a box containing information leaflets relating to diazepam patches.
The court refused bail to both men, saying that he did not think they would stop offending if released.

PNE hit back to sink Foxes
By Phil Jackson
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Preston came from behind to win 2-1 at Leicester and guarantee a play-off spot.
Preston North End came from behind to win 2-1 at Leicester and guarantee their place in the Championship play-offs.
Victory moved the Lilywhites 12 points clear of Wolves in sixth, with only nine points left to play for.
Leicester manager Rob Kelly was only appointed to the post permanently on Friday and his side rewarded their boss with a goal after just nine seconds.
Matt Fryatt scored the fastest-ever goal by a Leicester player just six touches from the kick off.
However, Simon Whaley (pictured) equalised for the visitors from 25 yards out just before half-time.
Midfielder Jason Jarrett then scored his first goal for the club with a 49th-minute strike, forcing home having made the most of a Chris Sedgwick corner.
The ball was flicked on by Claude Davis and Jarrett was on hand to head the ball home.
Brett Ormerod was fortunate to escape a red card after a head-butt late on that left Joey Gudjonsson flattened.
While The Foxes midfielder later recovered, Ormerod went unpunished as referee Dermot Gallagher obviously hadn't seen the incident.

Sand worms are creatures that live in Planet Arrakis. Sand worms' habitat are everywhere and the food it eats are vehicles. Sand worms attack only in sand dunes not in 'hard brown lands'.

I would say not
I have dreams and hopes that keep me going forward, but not much gets actually accomplished. I can cover it up a lot with (attempted) humor and smiles, but truth is I have some pretty rough days where I feel alone. I have trouble connecting with other people with more than just a superficial level.
GAG has actually helped me be slightly happier by giving me something to work towards, but I am definitely not happy. I feel like I haven't accomplished anything I have wanted to in life and it currently just kind of is a boring rut of bleh-ness.22|00|0

Jake is a beautiful, light yellow male tabby. He has a sweet, loving personality, and a curious, playful temperament. He gets along very well with both kittens and cats.
Jake and his sibs - Jasper and Juliet - were born in mid-April, 2013, and were found living under a shed in a nearby town in mid-May. They obviously needed and wanted some human TLC, as their mother was nowhere to be found. They joined my rescue in mid-May, and blossomed into 3 wonderful little kittens.
Jake loves to play tag, hide-and-seek, and king-of-the mountain with the other cats and kittens in the kitty room. He also likes to investigate everything new that comes into his environment. And he's one of the first on-the-scene when it's time to eat. Jake also likes personal attention and loving from his human friends, and thanks them with a big purr-session.
Juliet has been adopted, but Jake and Jasper are still waiting for their fur-ever families.
Jake is neutered, litter-trained, feline leukemia negative, and up-to-date on his vaccines. If you'd like to meet Jake, and maybe Jasper, too, please contact Eloise, 570-428-2179 or email@example.com. They'd love to have a home and family of their own.
Thank You!

NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply.

The Sandringham Six
By Peter Jones on June 27, 2010 (on biglorryblog)
I am the original designer of the FC82 and also the Sandringham Six 6x6. I own the SMC Group in Bristol, UK and built both vehicles there prior to moving the factory to Neath in South Wales. I sold the world manufacturing rights and it is built now by Penman Engineering in Scotland.
The Sandringham Six
The Hotspur Sandringham Six was a special vehicle approved by Land Rover. Series III and Stage 1 vehicles were used in the manufacture of these 6x6s, therefore these are leaf sprung 6x6s. Vehicles are advertised in 125 inch and 139 inch wheelbases. A sales brochure can be viewed below.
Brochure download : Hotspur Sandringham 6 brochure (site login required)
Hotspur Series III 125 inch Sandringham Six
Denty from the LRUK forum posted these pictures of his machine.
His vehicle has ID plates from Hotspur Cars, and is the Series III 125 inch version. The underside picture shows standard Hotspur leaf configuration: one axle set with 109 inch mounts (middle axle), one axle set with 88 inch mounts (rear axle), staggered to give roughly 36 inches between second and third axle centres.
Truck style rear leaf configuration
I found someone had posted pictures of their Sandringham Six-type vehicle on the net, giving some information on the spring setup. It differs from the Hotspur vehicles, but the manufacturer is unknown at present. Any information on this appreciated.
Alternative spring layout
This vehicle has 109 inch chassis spring mounts on both rear axles, unlike the Hotspur vehicles. This allows the tougher Salisbury axles to be used on both rear axles without modification. The vehicle was built by Thomas Schnell, and you can see more on this here.
SMC Engineering's Sandringham Six.
SMC Engineering (Bristol) Ltd, (SMC stands for Sandringham Motor Company) designed and built six-wheel drive Land Rovers (Sandringham 6), Range Rovers (Sahara 6), and Forward Controls (FC-82). Here are a couple of pictures of their Stage 1 based 6x6.
This vehicle is in Germany and has undergone a full rebuild.
Safir 6x6s.
Nick very kindly helped out with a little info on A1 LRO (above).
This vehicle was converted to 6x6 by Safir Engineering Ltd, using a double rear output transfer box, retaining the PTO. The 6x6 above was one of 15 which were built for export. If anyone has more info on Safir Engineering 6x6 Land-Rovers, please get in touch!
6x4 modified Series I recovery.

Weekly Notes: legal news from ICLR – 27 June 2014
Posted on 27th Jun 2014 in Weekly Notes
A selection of topical legal news from the UK and around the world, including phonehacking, fraud and other wongadoing, and those dismal legal aid statistics.
Other recent posts from ICLR:
- Life at the Bar: A North-South Divide? Review of Barristers' Working Lives: a second biennial survey of the Bar (2013)
- Team ICLR at BIALL 2014 – conference diary An account of the annual conference of the British and Irish Law Librarians
The Legal Aid diet
The stark reductions in the number of cases funded by legal aid, particularly in the family court, was evident from a perusal of statistics released this week by the Ministry of Justice.
The significance of Legal Aid Statistics in England and Wales (Legal Aid Agency) 2013-2014 is that it covers the the 12-month period following the coming into force on 1 April 2013 of LASPO (the Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012) whose effect was, in part, to cut down considerably the types of case for which civil legal aid was available. It is also a period during which the MOJ has tried, and in some measure (but not entirely) succeeded in cutting payments for criminal legal aid.
CRIME. Workload in the criminal justice system (CJS) generally has fallen, there are simply fewer cases coming to court. In magistrates' courts, there has been a drop of more than 20% over the five years since 2008. There has also been a fall in the volume of representations in the Crown Court, in both the crime lower and crime higher categories.
Expenditure on Very High Cost Cases (VHCC) dropped by 16% compared to the previous year. And the volume of VHCC work has been falling steadily since 2008, when 63 new VHCC cases were opened, compared to 12 in 2013-14.
CIVIL. Here the reductions have been more stark. The number of certificates for civil representation has fallen by 30% since 2010-2011, and by over 80% since 2009. Family, in particular, has been hard hit: the drop just in the last year was 60%.
LASPO provides by section 10 for Exceptional Case Funding (ECF) in certain types of case. In the last year, 1,520 applications for ECF were received by the Legal Aid Agency, most of which were for family or immigration cases. Only 69 were granted.
PROVIDERS. The effect these reductions have had on providers is stark:
In the last year the number civil providers have reduced by almost a quarter compared to the previous year. Crime providers have decreased by five per cent in the same period.
The huge reduction in funding for family law cases, especially single mothers fighting contact and custody cases, was the subject of a comment in Legal Voice by Marc Lapotin, Low-income mums bear brunt of LASPO cuts
The Ministry of Justice has also released a statistics bulletin covering Court Statistics Quarterly January to March 2014 which highlights, somewhat irrelevantly a three-fold growth in judicial reviews since 2000.
Phone hacking and contempt of court
On 24 June the jury found Andy Coulson, former editor of the News of the World, guilty on count 1 of conspiracy to intercept communications, but returned a verdict of "not guilty" against Rebeka Brooks, another former editor, on this and other counts against her, and against Stuart Kuttner, former managing editor.
However, the jury were still deliberating on two other counts against Coulson and against Clive Goodman, relating to conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office when, in response to stories in the media about the initial verdicts, the Prime Minister, David Cameron made a statement apologising for having employed Mr Coulson, after he left the News of the World, as his director of communications. Other politicians also made comments about the verdicts already given.
This prompted the trial judge, Mr Justice Saunders, to ask the Prime Minister for an explanation for what appeared to be contempt of court and breach the sub judice rule; and, next day, to issue a ruling in response to an application, by the defence team, for an order discharging the jury.
Having given the matter careful thought, he decided not to discharge the jury, whom he considered sensible enough to discount any prejudicial content in the remarks made by Cameron and others; but he issued a public rap on the prime ministerial knuckles:
That does not mean that I am not concerned about what has happened in this case. I consider that what has happened is unsatisfactory so far as justice and the rule of law are concerned. The press in court have been extremely responsible in their reporting of this case but when politicians regard it as open season, one cannot expect the press to remain silent. I accept that this case is very unusual if not unique, but the situation could occur again and I would urge that discussions take place to try and set up a better system of dealing with it.
Nevertheless, it appears from the explanation given by the PM that he did take some sort of legal advice, it is not clear (yet) from whom, but it was not from the previous Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, Kenneth Clarke, who (speaking to the Daily Telegraph) made this somewhat cryptic remark:
"Well, I think I know the source of 'the best' legal advice. I'll have a chat with him and he can correct me in my feeling it would have been wise. I agree with the judge." He added: "The sub judice rule is not talked about over the breakfast table, even among senior politicians, if they are not lawyers."
Having expressed his confidence in the ability of the jury to reach a decision in spite of the PM's blunder, the judge was nevertheless obliged to discharge them anyway – after it became clear that they were not going to reach even a majority decision on Coulson's and Goodman's guilt. The prosecution will now have to consider whether to go for a retrial.
The trial, which began last October, has received blanket coverage, some of it rather hysterical. The Murdoch press, unsurprisingly, have highlighted the acquittals, and the cost of the trial, most of which was money spent on the defence, funded by the Murdoch press; while the Guardian, which originally investigated the phonehacking scandal, concentrated on the conviction and – something often overlooked – pleas of guilty already given.
But for a handy summary of who was who and what they were charged with, we recommend the UK Criminal Law blog.
One aspect of the coverage is of particular interest. The entire trial was covered by Peter Jukes in a feat of live tweeting the like, or at any rate the extent of which, has not been seen before. As reported by the New Statesman, Jukes obtained crowdfunding for a book about the case, and used it to support himself over the seven months of the trial, providing a blow by blow account of the evidence as the trial proceeded, often pipping his more established media rivals at the post with the speed of his updates on significant developments.
The book is being published by Martin Hickman, who was interviewed by the Media Reform Coalition last week, ahead of the verdicts.
For other comments on the case, see
- Tom Watson MP in The Guardian: Politicians gave Murdoch his power, now we must challenge it
- Nick Davies in The Guardian on how the trial was also about the powers (and the reputations) behind the defendants – Rupert Murdoch standing behind Rebekah Brooks, and David Cameron standing behind Andy Coulson: Phone-hacking trial was officially about crime; but in reality, it was about power
- Peter Oborne in The Telegraph (Prime Minister and his gang haven't learnt their lesson) highlights the PM's poor judgment (as do many others) and reminds us that the affair is not over yet: "three News of the World journalists have already pleaded guilty to phone hacking, while another 23 journalists from an assortment of newspapers are yet to stand trial", adding:
The scandal has been a shameful episode that has revealed the presence of an arrogant political/media class who have been habitually contemptuous of ordinary people. They are still being called to account.
- James Doleman in The Drum on Phone-hacking trial: Why was Rebekah Brooks found not guilty? (little direct evidence, except the assumption "she must have known" and the fact that she was in charge and should have asked more questions at the time of the most egregious incident, the hacking of teenage murder victim Milly Dowler's phone).
Wonga woes
A high-interest story this week concerned Wonga, the so-called payday (or "mayday" – only desperate borrowers need apply) lender. To those who failed to pay back on time, Wonga sent letters purporting to come from two solicitors' firms — "Chainey, D'Amato & Shannon" and "Barker and Lowe Legal Recoveries" — which didn't actually exist. This came to light in 2011, and the FSA (now FCA) were notified soon after, but not much seems to have happened about the matter until this week, when it was reported that Wonga have undertaken to pay £2.6m in compensation to customers distressed and overcharged by their tactics. (See BBC report.)
The Times calculated that if Wonga had had to pay the same interest on this compensation as they charge their own customers (5,853 per cent per annum), they would have had to pay out £203,000,000,000,000. In fact, the average payout is something like £55, which some commentators think is too low, given that the FCA described the conduct as "very serious".
Others have wondered whether Wonga could be pursued for fraud, eg Richard Murphy on behalf of Tax Research LLP
The UK Criminal Law blog lists fraud (by false representation, under section 2 of the Fraud Act 2006) as well as other possible offences, including impersonating or pretending to be qualified as a solicitor (under sections 20, 21 of the Solicitors' Act 1974), blackmail (under section 21 of the Theft Act 1968) or harassment of debtors (under section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970).
It also helpfully provides a link to the original FCA report.
Conservation covenants
The Law Commission published a report on 24 June recommending the introduction of a new statutory scheme of conservation covenants in England and Wales. As the project overview explains:
A conservation covenant is a voluntary agreement between a landowner and responsible body (charity, public body or local/central Government) to do or not do something on their land for a conservation purpose. This might be, for example, an agreement to maintain woodland and allow public access to it, or to refrain from using certain pesticides on native vegetation. These agreements are long lasting and can continue after the landowner has parted with the land, ensuring that its conservation value is protected for the public benefit.
Conservation covenants are used in many other jurisdictions, but do not exist in the law of England and Wales.
The report explains how, if introduced, they would work; how (eg by injunction) they could be policed and enforced; and how (by the Lands Chamber of the Upper Tribunal) they could be modified or discharged.
The Full Report includes a draft Conservation Covenants Bill. There is also an Executive Summary.
Law around the world….
A sentence of seven years' imprisonment imposed on three journalists working for Al-Jazeera has caused outrage and consternation around the civilised world – as much, if not more, than that sparked by the imposition of the death sentence on 183 Muslim Brotherhood activists, including its leader, by a court last week. (See Weekly Notes – 20 June 2014).
Given the widely expressed concerns about the fairness of the trials, the independence of the judiciary and the constitutional legitimacy of the present military government, it seems fair to say that Egypt (where this writer's late father was born) is not currently a place where the rule of law holds much sway. The verdict "defies logic, sense, and any semblance of justice" according to Al-Jazeera.
One of the journalists, Peter Greste, commented in a message to his brothers quoted on twitter. Demonstrations of solidarity and support were made all round the world, often by people showing themselves gagged by black tape across their mouths, as for example in this film of Channel 4 news staff. (A former Channel 4 journalist, Sue Turton, has also been convicted, in her absence, to 10 years imprisonment.)
A decision will be given next week (on 1 July) by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, on the legality of France's ban on the full-face veil ban, which was the subject of a complaint by a Muslim woman, as reported in Human Rights Europe. We will have more on this next week.
Abu Qatada, the radical Muslim accused of conspiracy to carry out terrorist acts in relation to an alleged plot in 1998, has been acquitted by a court in Amman. He was extradited to Jordan a year ago after a treaty had been signed between Jordan and Britain precluding the use of evidence obtained by torture in any trial against him. He is still awaiting a verdict, relating to another alleged plot, which has been adjourned till September, according to report by BBC
For comment on this case, by Jonathan Miller of Channel 4 News: .Abu Qatada's acquittal is a sign of difficult times in Jordan
Doughty Street chambers, whose members include former DPP Keir Starmer QC as well as a number of those appearing in the recent Nicklinson appeal in the Supreme Court, is opening an office in The Hague, seat of the International Court of Justice. According to its website:
Doughty Street International – The Hague (DSI-TH) will be the first set of barristers' chambers to have an office in The Hague, the capital of international law. The opening of an office in The Hague is a logical extension of Doughty Street's international law practice, which sees some members of chambers permanently based in The Hague with others regularly travelling there to appear before the many international courts and tribunals based in The Hague.
The new office will be headed by John Jones QC from September 2014.
Meriam Ibrahim, the woman born of a Muslim father but brought up a Christian by her mother, sentenced to death for the crimes of apostacy and adultery after marrying a Christian in a country which supposedly (under its constitution) protects religious freedom, and who was forced to give birth to her second child while shackled by the legs in prison on death row, having then been released in the wake of international criticism (see Weekly Notes – 30 May 2014), was apparently then re-arrested at the airport by 40 security agents as she tried to leave the country.
According to a BBC report, she was detained because her papers were not in order.
But she was subsequently released again, according to a report in Christian Post, which repeats suggestions in an earlier BBC report that the National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) in Sudan, had intervened to express its disapproval of the government's decision to release Meriam.
The US Supreme Court has decided that police officers must first obtain a warrant if they wish to search a suspect's mobile phone. In Riley v California "We cannot deny that our decision today will have an impact on the ability of law enforcement to combat crime," Chief Justice Roberts wrote at the close of his opinion. "Privacy comes at a cost." Full story, The Atlantic. Also, this in The Guardian.
This decision echoes the decision in the Canadian Supreme Court (reported last week in Weekly Notes – 20 June 2014) that the police needed a judge's permission before asking internet providers for basic information that would identify their customers. It seems privacy rights are being upheld not just against commercial information gathering by the likes of Google, but also against law enforcement unless it complies with traditional regulatory requirements.

101-hole challenge for the Mzimkhulu Trust
Tim Thomas, of 1 Pump Court chambers, was sponsored to attempt to play 101 holes of golf on Monday 23rd June (walking with no cart will be at least 30 miles between 4.45am and 10.15pm) in a bid to raise £3,000 towards the enlargement of the Lorraine Poswa Mzimhulu Pre-School in Lidobe, Eastern Cape, South Africa, and buy a bus so children attending the school don't have to walk 6 miles to get there.
Established in 1994 the school is the focus of the community in an area that was ravaged by apartheid. Because school age is 6 in South Africa the school is not-funded by the state but children will walk 6 miles just to attend. Many of the children have been orphaned because their parents have died from HIV and many have HIV themselves.
Tim completed the challenge on Monday, but you can still sponsor him after the event: via gofundme.

Julia's scarves and bowling alley musical numbers are out for season 2 of Smash.
Apart from the many casting additions to the NBC musical drama, new showrunner Josh Safran, formerly helming Gossip Girl, is making changes for the show's return. That includes putting a stop to "bowling alley sing-a-longs," he told Entertainment Weekly. But never fear, that doesn't mean he's putting a stop to fantasy sequences all together. Just don't expect more Bollywood-type scenes.
Debra Messing's wardrobe, specifically her many scarves, will be among those changes and addressed "head on." Does that mean Julia will decide to get a makeover?
Safran reassures fans that the changes he's making won't dramatically alter the essence of the show.
"As a viewer, I really loved the show," he explained. "It's literally just reaching in and moving the tiny pieces that weren't connecting, the gears that weren't fully aligned. But it's small shifts. If you loved Smash last year, you are not seeing a radically different show. And that was important to me because I loved Smash last year."
Those "small shifts" include guest roles for Jennifer Hudson, Liza Minnelli, Nikki Blonsky, Sean Hayes, Jesse L. Martin and Daphne Rubin-Vega, as well as three new regulars in Jeremy Jordan, Krysta Rodriguez and Andy Mientus. Four characters from season 1 – Michael Swift, Frank, Ellis and Dev – will have downgraded roles, if any.
Smash returns to NBC with a two-hour season premiere on Feb. 5. Are these the kinds of changes you were hoping for in season 2?

Ishq Forever 1st Day Box Office Total Collection Income Earning,19th february box office collection Opening Friday box office collection 1st week box office collection Ishq Forever cast names all details on BoxOfficeTotalCollection
Ishq Forever 1st Day Box Office Total Collection Income Earning:Ishq Forever is a 2016 forthcoming Bollywood sentimental show musical film coordinated by Sameer sippy. It will include newcomer Krishna Chaturvedi as the male lead and the female lead is Ruhi Singh. The film is slated to be discharged on 19 February 2016. Official Theatrical Trailer was discharged on 18 December 2015 with the motion picture "Dilwale". Music is made by prevalent author Nadeem Saifi. This is a rebound film for Nadeem Saifi after just about 10 years.
The declaration for the film was done in August 2014 when it was accounted for that the prominent music executive Nadeem Saifi of the capable Nadeem Shravan team will come back to Bollywood with this film as a performance writer. The film will dispatch a newcomer Krishna Chaturvedi alongside model and new performing artist Ruhi Singh as the female lead. 90 percent of the shooting has been finished and the film is set to be discharged on 19 February 2016.
he Soundtrack of the collection is made by Nadeem Saifi (Of Nadeem–Shravan) and the verses are penned by Sameer. A teaser of the title track sung by Shreya Ghoshal was utilized for advancements. "Bilkul Socha Na Tha", an excellent sentimental number by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, is quick picking up notoriety. On the flip side of the range is "Simple Ankhon Se Nikle Ansoo", which typifies grievousness and disaster. The energetic school number "Desires" is certain to resound with the adolescent. It appears this crisp sentiment including debutants Krishna Chaturvedi and Ruhi Singh (Miss Universal Peace and Humanity, 2014), other than Lisa Ray and Jaaved Jafferi, that has affection, awfulness and flexibility as its primary subjects, has every one of the components set up to charm the group of onlookers. Another tune "Ishq Ki Barish", voiced by Shreya Ghoshal has two forms one with Javed Ali and another with Sonu Nigam. The last form of the melody was spilled on the web before its discharge

Cumin and Sea Salt Rubbed Chicken
READY IN: 45mins
Recipe by ShakenCake
From the Sunday Herald Sun weekend magazine. Untried.
Top Review by Leggy Peggy
Sensational flavours. I made this with skinless chicken thighs and used only one dried chilli (it was quite large). This has just come out of the oven and I have already stolen several bites. When it is cool, I will mix it with homemade mayo (Recipe #207860) and some chopped celery and onion to make chicken salad for wraps. My guests will be thrilled. Thanks so very much for posting.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin seed
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1⁄2 teaspoon coriander seed
- 4 dried red chilies
- 1⁄2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 800 g chicken, marylands trimmed
- olive oil, for brushing
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat the oven to 180c.
- Place the cumin, peppercorns, coriander seeds, chillies, turmeric, and salt in a mortar and pestle and grind until it forms a powder.
- Use a small sharp knife to slash the skin of the chickens.
- Brush with the oil and rub in the cumin and sea salt rub. Place the chicken, skin side on a baking tray and roast for 30 minutes or until the skin is golden and crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve with your favourite blanched greens and truss tomatoes.

My husband has been treated for a bacterial sinus infection since January. He still has pain behind his left ear and some nasal congestion on the left side only. Today we went to Univ of Michigan to a specialist and he said it is a classic case of acid reflux. We were surprised as my husband has an iron stomach and never has indigestion.READ MORE
can an acid reflux symptom be a pain behind the ears?
Hi Jody Crandall,
Acid Reflux can manifest itself in many different ways. Some people never have heartburn or classic symptoms. One of the ways acid reflux can show up is as asthma and allergy symptoms. You can read an overview about acid reflux and what causes it here. You can read about the symptoms of acid reflux here. If your husband's doctor has prescribed any medication, you can read about the medications here, and depending on the treatment the doctor has prescribed, you can check out treatments here.
Tracy Davenport is a resident expert here and she's written alot about allergy issues and in this article talks about food allergies and GERD. Allergies of any kind can affect the sinus cavities as well as cause asthma symptoms.
I hope this information helps. Please stay in touch and let us know how you and your husband are doing!

American citizens are in a literal war… right here at home, for our homes and for every last constitutional right we have – collectively and individually. In the last decade, we have witnessed the largest failure of leadership in our nation's history. We are losing our individual and collective freedoms bit by bit; government has grown completely out of control and we are on the verge of socialism with the bailouts and runaway government spending on growing government and dependency on government.
At every turn you find corruption rooted in greed. Greed for power and greed for a rapidly declining currency. Corrupt politicians have become the norm rather than the exception. Congress gets paid to argue and do practically nothing constructive as they answer to big money lobbyists who pay for their campaigns. Tax dollars are wasted and corporations get away with crime after crime. Shall I continue?
Millions of Americans are losing their homes. Make no mistake about it, this was all preventable. But now we are losing our jobs, our incomes, our power as a country and our homes while the government takes more of our tax dollars and pays off white-collar criminals by wrapping these bailouts in a package of "necessity."
This blog is dedicated to fighting the WAR ON THE HOME FRONT. Fighting the war against corrupt government… fighting the war against constitutional raiders… fighting the war for our homes… fighting the war against apathy and malaise. Through this site, I aim to inspire Patriots who peruse my site to get in the fight and hopefully give homeowners battling on the ultimate home-front a fighting chance to save their homes from foreclosure fraud, civil conspiracies, racketeering and other crimes.
Let me make one thing clear here: these tools aren't for the true deadbeats who want something for nothing… people who think that someone should get their home free and clear just because _________. I'm seeing really good people lose their homes. They're trying to work things out with their servicer. They always intended to pay back what they borrowed. They've lost a job or fallen on difficult times. The system is, however, their enemy. The government lies to them everyday and the reality is that all these bailouts have done NOTHING for the homeowner. The big banks are thieves running massive ponzi schemes. Beyond that, the real owner of their loan is being hidden behind a cloak of secrecy to cover up massive accounting scandals, securitization failures and corporate shell games. The banking industry, once my place of employment, is a shameful mess but rather than admit the failures, the industry at large instead has attempted to circumvent the system by committing fraud, by engaging in unconscionable and deceptive collection practices and has just simply failed to do right by their fellow citizens.
The average American is hard-working and doesn't bleed red or blue but rather red, white and blue. We agree with some positions on the left and some positions on the right; we are more centrist than exclusively right or left. We don't have time to protest or march. We pay more than our fair share of taxes. We contribute, we go to church and we help those in need. Because we're so busy minding our own business, we don't get involved enough anymore. The average American has to shout out. We have to voice our outrage and we have to send messages.
This is your place to do just that… feel free to rant and rave here on this blog… I certainly hope you're fed up too! I hope you demand action and change! I hope you use your vote to spur those changes on and I hope you get involved in this space so that we can send a large shout out to all those who preside over us in government that WE WILL FIGHT THIS WAR!
The gloves are off… let's bring the fight home folks. Get involved in this Blog and share it with others! If you'd like to be a contributor, send me an email or comment and we can get you setup.

I've had a look through Skennerton Rifles & Carbines and it looks as if this is a Mk.III Short Rifle type .
The lock is Enfield dated 1864 and the furniture is iron.
Still uncleaned I was looking for ID on the receiver when I realised it was all Snider marked, no ordnance markings at all (yet)
Appears to have a 3 groove barrel of 30.5" ish. The Mk III SR should be 5 groove shouldn't it?
Essentially, is it a commercial put together of the time on a reused stock? or something else?
No pics yet as it's in the caustic bath. Maybe more info tomorrow.
Another question. Would cleaning rods of this period still have one end threaded?
Oh yes, and the mainspring twanged on me nearly taking my finger with it. Can still feel it 5 hours later. Checking on the bust spring I can see it had been more than ¾ cracked through for many decades and just waiting for me to discover such. No mea culpa

An app that tells the person in the car ahead of you to GO THE FUCKING SPEED LIMIT YOU GODDAMN ANCIENT BITCH. I DON'T CARE IF YOU GOT BUTTFUCKED MY JIMMY CARTER BACK IN THE DAY, THE SPEED LIMIT IS 45 NOT 32.53|20|1

That is inaccurate. It's like I told the police officer, I'm not tailgating, I am merely making an unsuccessful attempt at going the posted speedlimit.
I would prefer we call the app "If You can't Go The Speed Limit You Shouldn't Have A License", or maybe "iTryToDriveButYouFuckUpTheRoadWithYourExistence."

Important note: Before we commence with today's blog entry I wanted to remind you that the Early Decision deadline is November 1 (just four days from the posting of this entry). For those of you applying ED to Johns Hopkins or still contemplating that decision, we have some very helpful resources on the Admissions website: The Early Decision Difference at Johns Hopkins.
Now back to your regularly scheduled Hopkins Insider blog post…
Over the past two months my Admissions colleagues and I have scoured the globe meeting prospective students, parents, and guidance counselors in our efforts to recruit the next great class of Johns Hopkins freshmen. Whether a seasoned traveler or a Johns Hopkins rookie recruiter, we all have enjoyed getting to meet and chat with the potential members of the Class of 2016 and beyond. Since we all travel to different parts of the United States and abroad, we each have unique experiences and memories. This entry is a collection of short reflections on the fall 2011 recruitment travel season from myself and my colleagues. Enjoy these "postcards from the road":
Chloe Rothstein, Assistant Director
Region: Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wyoming, and Mexico.
For the past four years I have had the opportunity to attend fairs organized by the American School Foundation (ASF) in Mexico City and sometimes in other cities throughout Mexico. American School Foundation schools are attended by international students, whose families happen to be living in Mexico, and by Mexican students as well. Each year the biggest is at ASF in Mexico City and usually the mascot from the Tecnológico de Monterrey, or Monterrey Institute of Technology in English, makes an appearance. Tec de Monterrey, as locals call it for short, has 33 campuses located in 25 cities throughout the country; however, the main campus is in Monterrey. The Tec's mascot is a ram or borrego salvaje in Spanish. Last year I had a picture taken with the ram, but this year I was able to get a picture of him (or her?) signing one of our inquiry cards for prospective students! Check it out—it's pretty funny!
Calvin Wise, Assistant Director
Region: Maryland, Oregon, and Washington
My name is Calvin Wise and this is my inaugural year here at JHU. As my first two months come to a close, I can honestly say I have enjoyed learning the Johns Hopkins culture, meeting great students, and inundating myself with all that Baltimore City has to offer. One of my new and exciting responsibilities for JHU is the travel territory of the Pacific Northwest. From October 12 through the 17, I visited the Seattle/Tacoma area meeting with students. I visited high schools, attended fairs, and conducted my first ever Explore Hopkins program. The food was great, the scenery was gorgeous, and the students possessed a sense of intellectual curiosity that we are looking for at Hopkins. Thank you for a great first impression Pacific Northwest and I'll see you next time!
Sherryl Fletcher, Senior Associate Director
Region: Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio
Doors Open! Where is this Door?
College admissions travel has been a part of my professional fall season for 29 years and I always look forward to being in some of my favorite places in my former home state of Michigan, as well as Illinois and Ohio! As a Midwesterner, the start of the high school and college football season and the changing of the leaves mean that I have the chance to walk through many doors of high schools. I so enjoy the combination of conversations with high school students, counselors, teachers, and school administrators, along with many parents and Johns Hopkins alumni. Each event, whether it is an evening program, a high school visit, a counselor luncheon or a college fair, provides the introduction to new students who wish to know more about Johns Hopkins, a favorite topic of mine! I leave each program or event with the hopes that all will consider a visit to Baltimore, a tour of our gorgeous campus and conversations with our talented and super friendly students and faculty.
During my fall 2011 visits, I visited a high school in one of my three states (reminder for those with a short attention span: Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio!) and captured a picture of a beautiful door. Post a comment below if you know where this door is located!
Lunch with a View
Admissions travel provides opportunities to visit with high school students and college advisors in many settings. Chicago, an area with many great schools, presents the chance to visit schools in urban and suburban settings. The city welcomes all with an ease of traveling from school to school by foot or by car. Students connect with Chicago as well by traveling short or extensive distances to be a part of their high school community. Activities following the close of classes keep students engaged with a commute home in the midst of heavy sidewalk or street traffic. Yet regardless of the time of day or the wind, sun or snow in October, Chicago is one of the friendliest places to meet with students interested in Johns Hopkins!
A day of travel in the Midwest involves including a full day of high school visits with an evening reception or college fair. I try to meet as many students, parents and guidance counselors as a day will allow knowing an evening event for Johns Hopkins will include parents as well. With busy daily schedules, time for lunch is nonexistent. But if you are creative and an apple and yogurt will do, a stop at a Lake Michigan beach will be a perfect break for a light lunch with a stunning view!
John Birney, Associate Director of Admissions
Region: Connecticut and New York
Visiting New York City
New York City is sunny and warm…just the way I like it. Rainy weather in the City makes for terrible traffic, and trying to catch a cab is nearly impossible. I'm visiting during the first week of school—and my first visit was at 7:45 on the student's first day. They didn't even go to their first class…instead they came to see me! The students were well informed and many had visited the campus, which made my visits go really well. If all my weeks are like this, travel this year will be great.
100K miles
100,000 miles and counting. Yeah, you read that right—100K miles. In all my years of driving my territories, I've finally eclipsed the milestone. My favorite part of visiting Connecticut in the fall is the crisp weather and the changing leaves. I'm here after the big fall rains and the rivers are rushing and driving through a historic covered bridge offers a wonderful view. I do hope that all the interesting students I'm seeing decide to apply. If so, it'll be a banner year!
Shannon Miller, Senior Assistant Director of Admissions
Region: Alaska, California, and Hawaii
Southern California
This fall, I spent two weeks in Southern California, where I conducted four Explore Hopkins programs, several mini-fairs, and 32 high school visits. My travel stretched from Santa Barbara to San Diego, with stops in Pasadena, Los Angeles, and Irvine. Prior to this year, I read for all of California except for the LA area, so it was great to visit the "new" schools in my territory. On my one free Saturday (we are SUPER busy when on the road!), while my colleague Sarah was sitting in snowy Colorado, I was hanging out in Disneyland. Visiting So Cal = Not a bad deal
Northern California
My Northern California swing this year was a quick one. In five days, I did three regional presentations plus high school visits, meeting over 200 students and their families! While this might have been a whirlwind tour, it was definitely a great one. Even though a city bus took the side view mirror off of my rental car (accidents do happen), the sun was always out (not common in San Francisco), and I was able to meet many talented students. I am looking forward to reading applications! Nor Cal Trip = Success.
Sarah Godwin, Senior Assistant Director of Admissions
Region: Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York (Long Island only), North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Wisconsin
I'm back from several weeks of travel and VERY happy to be back in Baltimore. One of my more "exciting" trips this fall was to Colorado. I had a super early flight on Saturday, October 8. How early is early? 5:20 a.m…if you zoom in enough on my boarding pass, you'll see it! Yes, that would mean a 4:50 a.m. boarding time. Speaking of my boarding pass, banana and water—these are essential items I see a lot during travel season. It is important to stay hydrated and keep electrolyte levels in check. It is easy to get run down.
When I finally arrived in Colorado, my trek to the fair was a bit treacherous! As you can see, it was mid-October and there was a fair amount of snow. I stopped and snapped this photo, the views were phenomenal, even with the icy roads. Luckily, I made it to the fair that day and saw tons of terrific students on the Western Slope of Colorado. I really intended to take a picture of the fair and the some of the students I saw there, but once I arrived it was a frenzy of activity until the very end. Thanks for checking in and reading my postcard from the road!
Daniel Creasy, Associate Director of Admissions
Region: Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont
My fall travel took me back to New England for the 14th straight year, nine years traveling for Johns Hopkins and five years for a different school. Travel in New England is lovely during the fall and not just because of the foliage, however I have written often about my excursions up north. Instead my tale is about my trip to New Orleans at the end of September.
Each year I attend the NACAC national conference for college admissions counselors, guidance counselors, and other professionals in the field of higher education. This was my 10th conference and what a joy it was to visit New Orleans for the first time. The food, the entertainment, the food, Bourbon Street, the people, the food, and oh yeah the food were all amazing. Yeah, the conference sessions and networking was enjoyable as well. The conference ended with a social event at Mardi Gras World that was enjoyed by all. Next year, the conference is in Denver and I am looking forward to visiting the Mile High City.

Employment Law
Employment Law Questions? Ask an Employment Lawyer.
Hello and thank you for contacting us. This is Dwayne B. and I'm an expert here and looking forward to assisting you today.
Why do you believe this has happened? Do you have any idea of who would be doing this?
If the police aren't doing anything then you can ask the court for an injunction against whoever is doing this. However, before you do that you may want to hire a lawyer and get them to refer you to a private investigator who can help you prepare some evidence to use to support your case.
Right now, assuming these people don't just admit to doing this, it is a "he said, she said" type of situation and usually those aren't enough for an injunction. The private investigator can check your house for listening devices, watch over you to see who is "sneaking around", etc. Then that PI's testimony can be used to support the Application for Injunction.
The steps to an injunction are:
1) An Application for TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) is filed along with supporting evidence such as affidavits. Usually the Application for Injunction is made at the same time. The TRO is a temporary measure and is not absolutely required before you get an injunction.2) An Ex Parte (without the other side present) Hearing is conducted and the judge either issues the TRO or denies it. If the TRO is issued the judge orders a bond set in a sufficient amount to compensate the other side for any damages accumulated while the TRO is in place if the applicant fails to prove their right to an injunction.3) A hearing on the TRO is set.4) The TRO and notice of Hearing is served on the defendant.5) The defendant should immediately begin following the judge's orders.6) The TRO hearing is held and each side has an opportunity to present evidence and question witnesses.7) The judge makes the decision on whether to convert the TRO to a Temporary Injunction or not.8) If the TRO is converted to a Temporary Injunction then the judge sets a new bond to be in place.9) Discovery is conducted by both sides.10) A request for hearing date is made on the matter of converting the Temporary Injunction into a Permanent Injunction.11) The hearing/trial is held on the Permanent Injunction and the judge issues a ruling.These are what are known as extraordinary remedies and the procedural rules for these as well as the case law are EXTREMELY specific and difficult. If ANY mistakes are made the judge has no choice but to deny the relief and will not likely reconsider it in the future.Just as an example, getting injunctive relief, both temporary and permanent, requires that evidence be offered of:1) An immediate need,2) Which, if not granted, will result in irreparable harm,3) With no adequate remedy at law, and4) (on temporary order) The person requesting the injunction is likely to succeed at a full trial on the merits.If evidence is not offered to meet these four requirements, in a manner that the judge knows this is what the evidence shows, then the petition will be denied.There are more requirements than this depending on the exact facts of the case but it is very, very easy to mess up one of these and end up having to pay damages to the other side just because your paperwork wasn't done properly.
If your question has been answered then I'd offer my best wishes to you and ask that you please not forget to leave a Positive Rating so I receive credit for my work. Of course, please feel free to ask any follow up questions in this thread. I want to be sure that all of your questions are answered.

What do you do when you get tired of developing popular apps, amazing operating systems and the most trusted online search engine on the planet? Simple. You just develop a smartcar with futuristic features. Take a bow, Google!
Unless you have been living under a rock, Google has just unveiled a brand new prototype for the next-gen car it's developing. Apparently, the car is set to be one of the smartest means of travelling on the planet on release, and all that without even the presence of a steering wheel inside the car.
As of now, nobody has put the new technology in context as well as Google. The company states: "Just imagine: You can take a trip downtown at lunchtime without a 20-minute buffer to find parking. Seniors can keep their freedom even if they can't keep their car keys. And drunk and distracted driving? History."
Recommended: Micromax Canvas Doodle 3 with 1GB RAM Now Launched At Rs 8,778
Apart from that, Google is also hoping to see its new two-seater self-driven cars on the road within a year, starting with a consignment of around 100 cars. These will be built in Detroit and deployed on the roads of California.
Recommended: HTC One M8 Ace Images Leak Shows the Handset In 4 Color Variants
But while all that sounds cool enough to make a sci-fi movie out of, how exactly will the new ride affect your life? Will it be for the better, or for the worse? And what exactly are the reasons why you could invest on one? We take a look at the top 5 things that you could look forward to with the car.
A Two-Seated Automation
While most people will in fact argue that a two seater isn't really a family car, and a more selfish mode of transportation, but Google isn't really focusing on a family car at the moment. A two-seated car is one that involves you and just your loved one. And what better than an automatic, hands-free ride without a single care in the world.
Accidents? What Accidents?
According to the World Health Organization, more than 1.2 million lives are lost every year in road traffic accidents. Well, that won't really be a worry for you with an automatic ride at your disposal. The ride's there so that for at least once in your life you can get in your car without pessimistic thoughts about a "Road Rash" like experience.
We have said this once, and we will say it yet again. A hassle-free ride is what everyone expects, only to end up with a bumpy ride and bad mood. But with Google's own self driven cars, without a steering wheel, brake or accelerator, even the word "hassle" seems like it's out of the dictionary.
Integrated Software
Remember when we said the car doesn't come with the traditional steering wheel, brake or accelerator? So then how exactly does the car work? Well, the built-in software and sensors in the car are potent enough to do all the work. But is there more to it? Well, there are chances that Google could actually end up developing a customized OS for the car in the future.
Trust the Devs
Google assures that in order to develop this technology, it has gathered some of the very best engineers from the DARPA Challenges, a series of autonomous vehicle races organized by the U.S. Government. And since safety is the primary concern for the company, it's only natural that the brightest minds in the game will now look after your safety.

|Ed Asner, TV's Lou Grant, is as engaging and pointed as ever, as he tells the tale of the 99% and the 1%. Not to be missed! A perfect example of the arts at work. Tax the rich: An animated fairy tale, is narrated by Ed Asner, with animation by award-winning artist Mike Konopacki, and written and directed by Fred Glass for the California Federation of Teachers. The 8 minute video shows how we arrived at this moment of poorly funded public services and widening economic inequality. Things go downhill in a happy and prosperous land after the rich decide they don't want to pay taxes anymore. They tell the people that there is no alternative, but the people aren't so sure. This land bears a startling resemblance to our land.

Mike Woodson earlier this week issued a challenge to Anthony to come back in better condition next season.
"I think you guys looked at that a little bit too much, overanalyzed that," Anthony said. "We all can come back in better shape, better condition.
"I'm not going against what coach Woodson said. But I felt like I was in phenomenal shape, especially coming down the stretch, late March, April, the whole month of April, even coming down to the playoffs."
