In a draft proposal, the European Commission appears on course to step back from earlier plans that would rigorously force large banks to hive off their lending business from their risker trading operations.
The Financial Times reported yesterday (6 January) that such separation would no longer be mandatory, and "would be less costly and restrictive than first envisaged and national supervisors are given wide discretion in applying the reforms".
The report was based on a leaked legislative proposal expected to be published by Internal Market Commissioner Michel Barnier in late January or February, which will aim to implement the findings of the 2012 Liikanen report on the structure of banking (see background).
Finnish central banker Erkki Liikanen's report was contentious because it proposed the mandatory separation of proprietary trading and other high-risk trading, resisted by France and Germany in addition to most big European banks.
According to the Financial Times report such a ban would only now apply to around 30 big banks, and national supervisors would be left to make the decision of whether certain types of trading posed a "systemic risk" and so should be separated.
Barnier's proposal will not become law before the end of his tenure as commissioner this year, leaving his successor to deal with the finer elements of the negotiations.
However the proposal also gives national supervisors the option of demanding tougher standards from their banks.
"There is no formal proposal from the Commission at this stage. So any text seen is merely a draft, subject to substantial change, and has no political endorsement from the College," read a statement from the Commission, although the EU executive stepped back from denying the substance of the Financial Times report.
Barnier's proposal will "ensure all banks can be resolvable and not require taxpayer bailout when they face difficulties," the statement said, adding: "At the same time, while we solve "too big to fail' (TBTF), we want to do it in a way that avoids upsetting the economic recovery. That is why the proposal will ensure that financing of real economy is not impeded."
In November 2011, the European Commission set up a high-level group to make recommendations on structural reforms of the EU banking sector, with a view to strengthening financial stability and improving consumer protection.
The initiative followed other measures aimed at protecting consumers against risky banking activities.
In July 2010, the Commission asked banks to guarantee at least €50,000 in payouts to clients, up from the €20,000 previously, in an effort to prevent bank runs.

Tom Franklin will not return this fall as the radio voice of University of Houston football and basketball, the school's athletic department said Friday.
A department spokesman said Franklin's contract was not renewed and that UH's broadcast rights holder, IMG College, would conduct a search for a new play by play voice.
Franklin, who graduated from UH and is public relations coordinator for the school's alumni association, said officials did not give him a specific reason for the decision.
"It must be something in the water," he said. "The Astros switched leagues and switched broadcasters, and the Cougars are switching leagues and switching broadcasters.
"I'm eternally grateful to the people who made this happen in 2004 and the people who were involved along the way and the people who listened. It's my school, which made it more special and makes it hurt a little more, but it it's been a true honor to serve as the voice of the Cougars for nine years."
He added, "If they feel they can do better, so be it. I'm a Cougar through and through, and I'll root for them from the couch rather than the press box."
Franklin also did play by play for the Oilers, Rice University athletics and the Houston Hotshots indoor soccer team. He also hosted pre- and postgame Astros shows on KTRH (740 AM) and sports talk shows on KTRH.
"We'd like to thank Tom for his contributions over the past nine years," UH athletic director Mack Rhoades said in a statement from the school. "He has certainly been a part of a number of amazing moments for Houston athletics, and we wish him the very best."
The university did not address the status for next season of Franklin's broadcast partners, Ted Pardee on football and Elvin Hayes on basketball.

Have cruised three times on this ship and this has been the worse. Waiting to eat after being seated in main dining room, coffee to strong to drink.

I'd only ever read about the Tower of London in books until we happened to walk past it a few weeks ago, changing from the DLR at Tower Gateway to the Tube at Tower Hill. I pictured it being a typical keep, like the one at York or Conisbrough, a single round or square tower, probably on a hill, perhaps a few ruined outbuildings.
Instead, it turns out that it's massive.
It's not surprising that something which has been used by royalty and rulers of Britain for almost a thousand years has, well, grown a bit in that time. But I was surprised by how much Victorian brick there seems to be within the walls.
The Tower of London, as you can visit it today, is a large clump of government and former government buildings, some of which are still offices or storehouses – you can visit the Crown Jewels in the one shown below – and others have been turned into museums.
We didn't see everything the Tower has to offer – there is a lot – but we did have a good visit, and definitely got our money's worth.
The Crown Jewels
Probably the most famous exhibition at the Tower of London is the Crown Jewels. They are quite impressive – and also, somehow, not. I enjoyed the visit, and am glad we went but honestly, you'll see just as sparkly (albeit paste) jewellery in films – and you'll probably get a closer, longer look when the camera zooms in.
The exhibit is permanently popular, so even on a rainy day in April there was a queue to get into the building. Once inside, you queue past various displays describing the history of the jewels and then past various parts of the collection of artefacts which make up the Crown Jewels. The crown Queen Elizabeth II was crowned with at Westminster Abbey almost sixty years ago was the highlight for me, but it turns out that it's only one of a couple hundred pieces, including gold platters, chalices and spoons, which were used in the ceremony.
The Jewels are guarded by seriously thick metal doors and Beefeaters in their bearskin hats. The doors are a bit creepy – they're so thick that there's no way you could get out if you got locked inside in some blockbuster action thriller plot – but the guards aren't.
They look just like in the pictures illustrating a thousand children's stories, except that they're real, live soldiers with real, live, incongruously modern guns.
And real, dead, somewhat mishapen hats.
The White Tower
The main museum part of the Tower of London, the White Tower is the old keep and contains exhibits of armour through the ages as well as information about the history of the Tower itself.
It's an interesting mishmash of a place, and one to take at your own pace. I found the halls of armour a bit repetitive – although I was curious to see Henry VIII's armour, and the 'giant and the dwarf set', a pair of suits of plate armour, one made for a small child, the other for an adult well over six foot tall but then got bored and moved on to look at the block which Lord Simon Lovat was allegedly beheaded on (he's mentioned in the Outlander books – I hadn't realised he was real, so it gave me a bit of a shock) and read about the history of the Tower.
A long history of tourism
It turns out that tourists have been coming to the Tower of London for centuries, which I find fascinating. It's obviously so much easier and cheaper to travel and see things nowadays that it's hard to imagine what sort of people would have visited the Tower even a hundred years ago, and what they would have seen when they got there.
One of the early exhibitions was, apparently, the kings of England on their horses. Wooden models were made by sculptors and dressed in more or less (sometimes decidedly less) appropriate clothes and armour. These are still on display in the White Tower and seem to be in the process of being restored.
There are also scattered signs of the menagerie which used to be a popular attraction, before London Zoo opened up, and you can still see the famous ravens which visitors have been feeding for centuries.
Tips for visitors
There's a lot to see, and it's a good day out but it is rather expensive. When we went, it was about £20 per adult. Luckily, if you're coming in by train you can get 2-for-1 tickets to the Tower of London (the site also lists other similar offers around the UK) which makes it rather more affordable.
If you go, I do recommend making a day of it and packing a lunch. The queue for the Crown Jewels is quite long, and continues inside the exhibit – you queue around it, it's so busy – so that can take an hour or two, depending on crowds. If you want to add in the White Tower, visit the ravens, buy an ice cream, walk the walls, visit the Prisoner's exhibition, you'll probably find – as we did – that it's too much to rush round in an afternoon. All we managed on quite a quiet, wet afternoon was to queue for the Crown Jewels and visit the White Tower. That said, that was enough history for us for one visit.

Fair Trade Clothing Brands & Human Rights ... the Ethical Consumer Movement
For those interested in sweatshops, human rights, and that type of stuff, this may be of interest to you.
<<Sunday Independent, November 07, 2004
Larissa Nolan
Ali Hewson, Bono's wife, is set to take over the world of fashion with her own socially conscious clothing range.
Renowned charity worker Ali will launch the Edin brand early next year. All pieces in the collection will be organically made by fair trade workers.
The patron of the Chernobyl Children's Project (CCP) has been working discreetly on the fashion line, which she hopes will be on sale in America as early as February 2005.
An internationally famous male designer has been recruited, although his name will not be released until a later stage.
She plans to launch the brand in Ireland shortly after it gets off the ground in the U.S., and has reportedly already been in talks with Brown Thomas head Galen Weston about stocking it.
A spokesperson for Brown Thomas said: "We have not seen the clothes yet, but we are excited about the project.
"We look forward to seeing the collection with a view to stocking it in Brown Thomas."
The Edin brand will be mostly made up of casual wear in styles that are at the cutting edge of fashion. Jeans, tops and jackets will make up a good proportion of the collection.
Some of the collection has already been manufactured and is ready to wear. Ali herself wore a pair of Edin jeans when she attended Nell McCafferty's book launch in the Shelbourne Hotel last Tuesday.
The slim brunette, 43, was the perfect model to debut the jeans, which were a black, tight-fitting boot-cut pair.
Ali told a friend: "I'm celebrating the start-up of the fashion line. These jeans are just as nice as any designer pair of jeans, and yet there is the added bonus of knowing that they are fair trade. And there's a whole collection to choose from."
Those close to Ali say she set up the brand to help drive sweatshops out of fashion. The promotion of fair trade is something about which she and Bono, her husband of 22 years, are both very passionate.
Bono hinted at her plans in an interview earlier this year, when he said: "Right now she's looking at a new way of doing business in apparel. It may be one of the biggest brands in the next few years, so watch out."
The fair trade method of business is supported by a number of high-profile celebrities, including Coldplay's Chris Martin and his actress wife Gwyneth Paltrow.
It involves using practices in which people in the Third World are paid properly and receive health insurance.
Money raised from Ali's Edin brand will go back to the fair trade workers who made the clothes. If profit margins allow, some of the money made will also go to the Chernobyl Children's Project, which was founded by Ali's close friend and fellow charity worker Adi Roche.
Ali's brand is an independent venture and is not linked to either the U.K. Fairtrade company, which produces fairly traded edible goods, or the CCP.
Ali is no stranger to charity fashion projects, having been a key player in the Brown Thomas international fashion shows, where she raised hundreds of thousands of euro for charity.
Despite being married to the world's biggest rock star, Ali has kept a low profile since her marriage to Bono in 1982. She spends most of her time looking after their four children and focusing on her charity work.>>
That's good, i'm a suporter of fair trade goods.
Oceans of angels, oceans of stars
inspired contemplation
I support fair trade goods and I also support capitalism. Will have to see the clothes before I decide if I buy. Does anyone have pictures of her wearing the jeans?
flaunt the imperfection
i support the idea...wonder who the designer is...why is it a mystery?...
"It is not money that makes you well dressed: it is understanding."
I wish they'd name the designer though
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
no photos, no photos
What a great idea. I support this direction so much. Hopefully this opens up a world of possibility for fair trade in general.
happiness is the fat girl dancing in the corner
The 'ethical consumer' movement
I realised there are no threads at tfs devoted to fair trade fashion. some of it can border on being a bit plain, but there is some lovely and unique stuff out there if you really look. it's for a really good cause that is very much worth supporting...
if anyone knows of any other places where you can buy fair trade fashion, please post them here.
- edited to add that since this is a growing movement in fashion, I'm moving this thread to trendspotting so we can discuss this as a broader topic.

This is a great thread utopia, thank you for starting it
I think Bono's line Edun belongs here: www.edun.ie
No e-store, but there is a list of stockists and pictures of the collection. (You can buy some of it online at saksfifthavenue.com and barneys.com, btw)

Provincial health officials said Tuesday Manitoba has three more lab-confirmed cases of enterovirus D 68.
No other information about the cases is being released.
It brings the total in number of cases of enterovirus D 68 in the province to 12.
Officials said the province does not track the illness and the dozen cases so far are all lab-confirmed.
They said others may have become ill but simply stayed home and recovered on their own.
Symptoms of the virus resemble the common cold, but doctors say enterovirus D 68 seems to be sending more children to intensive care than a typical virus, particularly those with a history of asthma.
At least four children in Manitoba were infected with the virus. There are no reports of any deaths.

FURTHER redundancies could be on the way to the Defence Aviation Repair Agency after it announced 550 job losses yesterday.
Archie Hughes, chief executive of Dara, said there were "no guarantees" for the future as unions warned the RAF St Athan site could suffer the "death of a thousand cuts".
The warnings leave a question mark over the £77m Project Red Dragon and the Welsh Development Agency's own planned investment in the area.
The four Dara sites were created in 1998 to carry out repair and maintenance work on military aircraft for the MoD.
The future for St Athan seemed secure last July when Armed Forces Minister Adam Ingram approved Project Red Dragon to create a repair superhangar on site as a first step towards making Dara the hub of a world-class aviation centre.
Mr Hughes said that while the MoD investment suggested Ministers saw a future for Dara in South Wales, nothing was certain.
He warned, "There are no guarantees of future workload.
"When Dara was set up there was no End to End Review.
"It was set up to look at best value for defence and the outcome of that will be later this year. It could mean more work, it could mean less work.
"However the Project Red Dragon has given us the opportunity to be competitive in the market place."
A MoD spokesman said, "It is expected that up to 550 posts are likely to be affected but the final number will not be known until the consultation process is completed."
Some 360 jobs will go as part of an efficiency drive within Dara and Mr Hughes said compulsory redundancies were "inevitable".
Those jobs will go from Project Red Dragon, a £77m scheme which includes the creation of a superhangar capable of housing 48 fast jets at any one time.
A further 190 engineering jobs will be lost as a result of the MoD's own review.
Years of cost cutting has seen the site slim down from 7,500 staff to 1,800 and Mr Hughes said there was simply no fat left on the bone to meet all the cuts through voluntary redundancy.
The Harrier jet maintenance and repair jobs will be moved "in-house" to RAF Cottesmore in Leicestershire.
The End to End Review has prompted warnings more jobs could go at Dara when it is completed later this year.
Vale of Glamorgan MP John Smith said giving work back to the RAF "ran counter to government policy".
"The whole purpose of the creation of Dara was to combine military efficiency with cost effectiveness by ensuring that all deep repair and maintenance was undertaken by civilians operating on a commercial basis.
"This decision drives a coach and horses through this policy."
He continued, "The 360 jobs are going as a result of an internal management decision to introduce efficiency savings to compete on the world market.
"I have always argued that this can be achieved, as in the past, without compulsory redundancies and preserving the skills base.
"The second half of the announcement is even more worrying. While it refers to 190 jobs, this is a result of giving the work back to the RAF, which runs counter to government policy."
Mr Smith urged Armed Forces Minister Adam Ingram to rethink his decision or "at the very least" guarantee no further job losses.
He said Mr Hughes should be given "commercial freedom" to bring work to St Athan from other Dara bases.
Mr Ingram yesterday turned down requests for interviews as did Welsh Secretary Peter Hain.
There was no press notice or statement about the job cuts at Westminster.
Welsh MPs were told the news at yesterday's Welsh Grand Committee by Mr Hain, who said Project Red Dragon showed Dara had a "strong future".
Assembly Conservative economic development spokes-man and prospective parliamentary candidate for the Vale, Alun Cairns, warned the job cuts could prove the "thin end of the wedge".
"Only last July the Armed forces Minister was saying there was nothing to worry about and that the future of Dara was bright.
"An aircraft superhangar has been built which seemed to underline that confidence.
"The WDA had an intention of building an aviation business park on the back of Red Dragon and have spent £8m on land alone for this purpose.
"Along with the unions I am now worried about the longer term future of the operation."
Jack Dromey, deputy general secretary of the Transport and General Workers Union, agreed the ongoing MoD review posed a "question mark over the future of Dara".
"I fear the worst," he added, "When the go-ahead was given for Project Red Dragon it was said that the future was bright.
"My concern this that we now see the prospect of the death of Dara by a thousand cuts.
Economic Development Minister Andrew Davies, who was reportedly praising the Dara success story on Monday, yesterday found himself offering his sympathies to the shell-shocked workforce in a statement to the Assembly.
Mr Davies said, "Many of these job losses were not unexpected.
"That Dara would need to make efficiencies to become even more competitive in a tough market is a recognised fact, but clearly one that does not make this announcement any more welcome or less of a blow to those directly affected."

There are a lot of problems with that bike. Yea - it does have a powerful motor/battery combo, but everything else on that bike is super cheap. It won't hold up well with the loads that will be put on it.
We've sold 3 or 4 of these so far this year:
Much better quality componentry, a more reliable, though not as powerful Yamaha motor, and a company that will still be around in 5 years for support.

The Blu Ray drive has nothing to do with the YLOD. Yes the laser can burn out, and I've had to do a single replacement.
YLOD is caused by micro fractures in solder eventually leading to connections failing. This is because the PS3 came out in 2006, which is the same time PC video cards were also combating the move away from lead based solder (thanks California, do you have that sign up that the state of California contains things known to cause cancer so anyone visiting or living there is aware?).
The YLOD and RROD caused both Sony and Microsoft to be very conservative with power and heat in the new console.
Ylod on ps3 is for more than one error. It can be for a bad CPU, or GPU connection, it can also be a drive read error.
So, you think wanting a feature that was in the product when you bought it and then taken away
I own a CECHE model PS3 that at one time had a YDL install on it. I was even a moderator over at the Yellow Dog Forum. I have said the following many many times.
The thing is, you have to agree to have the feature taken away, it won't be taken away without you agreeing to do so....twice.
The choice is yours, keep Linux and lose access to PSN because your PSN isn't "trusted" or keep access to PSN and lose Linux. Your choice.
Now perhaps Sony shouldn't have required you to make that choice, but they believed that Geohot gave THEM no choice and the final choice is yours.

Reading from the Gospels, Pentecost +8, Year B (July 22): Mark 6.30-34, 53-56
Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths, or the turning inwards in prayer
for five short minutes.
―Etty Hillesum
He said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves
and rest a while."
―Mark 6.31
Before I wrote this blessing I took a nap. Spent time with a novel. Lay on the couch and looked out on the sunlit street. Made a cup of tea. Breathed.
I do not know what restores you, where you take your rest, how you find the sustenance that enables you to meet those who wait for you with their insistent hungers. But whatever it is, whatever soothes you and brings you solace, may you find it in the rhythm of this day, as close as the beating of your heart, as quiet as the space between the beats.
Blessing of Rest
Curl this blessing
beneath your head
for a pillow.
Wrap it about yourself
for a blanket.
Lay it across your eyes
and for this moment
cease thinking about
what comes next,
what you will do
when you rise.
Let this blessing
gather itself to you
like the stillness
that descends
between your heartbeats,
the silence that comes
so briefly
but with a constancy
on which
your life depends.
Settle yourself
into the quiet
this blessing brings,
the hand it lays
upon your brow,
the whispered word
it breathes into
your ear
telling you
all shall be well
all shall be well
and you can rest
P.S. Sunday, July 22, is also the Feast of Mary Magdalene! Last year, Gary and I collaborated on a video slide show in celebration of the Magdalene. Click the thumbnail below to see The Hours of Mary Magdalene on Vimeo, and may you have a splendid feast day.

Depleted Al Wahda take on Al Shaab in Cup
Abu Dhabi: The seventh week of football's Etisalat Cup will be contested on Thursday night during the one-day break of the 21st Gulf Cup in Bahrain.
In the first group, leaders Al Wahda, who have 13 points from five matches, will face bottom team Al Shaab, with five points from as many matches, in Sharjah.
Meanwhile second-placed Al Ain, who have eight points from four matches, will host Dubai, who have four points behind.
And while Al Wahda and Al Ain will miss the services of many key players with the national team in the Gulf Cup like Esmail Mattar, Hamdan Al Kamali and Saeed Al Kathiri from Al Wahda in addition to Omar Abdul Rahman, Mohammad Ahmad, Dawood Sulaiman and Muhannad Al Enazy from Al Ain, Dubai and Al Shaab will have full-strength line-ups.
Moutaz Abdullah, the former Al Wahda and UAE goalkeeper, is expected to make his debut with his new club, Al Shaab, after joining them from Emirates club on Tuesday.
In the second group, leaders Al Wasl, who have nine points from five matches, will face Al Dhafra, fourth with six points from four matches, in Madinat Zayed.
Meanwhile Al Jazira, who are third with seven points, will play against second-placed Bani Yas, who have nine points from five matches.
The two encounters of Group B look well-balanced despite the fact that both Bani Yas and Al Jazira will miss the services of five players each due to UAE commitments at the Gulf Cup.

The jobs program that President Barack Obama plans to unveil is estimated to come in somewhere around $447 Billion. The White House is planning on paying for the program by ending tax breaks for big-oil, hedge funds, and people that earn more than $250.000.
Republicans plan on putting up a fight as they claim it will hamper economic growth to end these tax breaks. White House press secretary Jay Carney said the new measures, "the president is campaigning — for growth and jobs".
President Obama plans to send the jobs plan to the US Congress and urged members to pass the package. The President said in a speech in the Rose Garden, "We´ve got to decide what our priorities are. Do we keep tax loopholes for oil companies, or do we put teachers back to work? Should we keep tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, or should we invest in education and technology and infrastructure?"

All-star manager has special season 08-06-09
Published 7:00 pm, Wednesday, August 5, 2009
To the Editor:
I would also like to extend a big thanks to coaches John Perez and Eric Gonzales for their commitment and hard work. The manager often gets a lot of attention, but please know that these men deserve much of the credit for the success of this team. Coach Adam Chavez, my brother, has been an invaluable part of our team, especially during our practice and pre-game times. Our players have benefited from the knowledge and enthusiasm that these men have to offer.
Thanks to the parents and families. Your all-star experience is one of sacrifice and commitment, but your kids are worth it all. Your kids are blessed to have you in their lives.
I am also very grateful to the Noon Optimist Club for its help, financial and otherwise. The club has a long history in the organization of our baseball league. In fact, this year marks the 50th year of its association with Babe Ruth Baseball. There are many individuals who give of their time to operate this league and it is much appreciated. A special thanks to Tommy McMillan for helping to make sure we have everything we've needed for this playoff run.
Finally, to the players. You guys are the best. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be talking about baseball in August. Thanks for your hard work and making all of us proud. You represent your community well.
Wally Chavez
Manager, Plainview 13-Year-Old All-Stars

->''"Over these houses, over these streets, hangs a pall of fear. Fear of a new kind of violence which is terrorizing the city."''
->''"Yes - gangs of old ladies attacking defenseless, fit young men."''
-->-- ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus''
A lot of comedy comes from switching around expectations. This trope is about a specific kind, where roles are reversed. But unlike FreakyFridayFlip, PrinceAndPauper, and SwappedRoles, no explanation or justification is given, and it's as though this situation was always this way. The comedy is more about the absurdity of it all, than what happens to the characters.
Let's say hypothetically, a {{princess}}, wearing in full [[RequisiteRoyalRegalia regalia]] (PimpedOutDress, [[CoolCrown tiara]] and [[PrettyInMink ermine-lined]] [[PimpedOutCape cape]]) walks down a hallway one way, while her servant, in a French maid outfit, walks the other way, carrying some food. The princess bumps into the maid, causing the food to fall on the maid, but the ''princess'' begs for forgiveness and tries to wipe off the maid's dress, while the maid hysterically snaps at the princess for being clumsy, and complains about how much her dress cost.
Occasionally this trope is used for drama and/or {{Satire}}, where the situation is meant to be thought-provoking instead of funny.
Compare OppositeDay, PersecutionFlip, StereotypeFlip, RussianReversal.
SuperTrope of GenderFlip.
* A 1970 Smokey Bear PSA involves a family of bears having a picnic in front of a human family's suburban home, taking apart their fence for firewood and letting the campfire burn when they leave.
-->'''Announcer:''' You wouldn't want bears to be careless with fire in your home. So don't be careless in theirs.
[[folder:Comic Books]]
* A ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' story centred around an athlete who garnered massive controversy and criticism by doing well despite no pharmaceutical or bionic enhancements.
* ''ComicBook/{{Normalman}}'' is the only non-superpowered human on the planet [[SdrawkcabName Levram.]]
* In ''Comicbook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew'', one VillainOfTheWeek is a "wuzwolf" ([[IncrediblyLamePun he wuz a wolf, now he's not]]), a wolf who turns into a legendary monstrous creature know as a "human".
* Any [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' story set in Bizarro-World is all over this trope.
* ''Film/LittleManTate'' contrasts the titular Tate, a very mature child, with his childlike, immature mother.
* The film ''Film/WhiteMansBurden'' is a dramatic example; it takes place in an alternate America where the majority/minority status of white and black people are reversed. In case that's not clear, their socioeconomic positions are reversed too, not just the numeric percentages.
* The film ''Film/TheWrongMan'' had a subplot of a greedy, ruthless farmer threatening the meek, struggling-to-get-by banker with closing his business down.
* ''Film/TheJerk'' starts with the character explaining he was born "a poor black child," only to discover his white roots when he first hears swing music on the radio.
* ''Film/ThreeAmigos'' has a scene where Chevy Chase's character is trying to blend in with the banditos as their leader reminisces about the good times they have had. He offers a few suggestions such as the time they "raped the horses and rode off on the women"
* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'':
** One scene in ''Discworld/MovingPictures'' parodies ''Film/KingKong1933''; a giant woman[[note]]actually a [[spoiler:Dungeon Dimensions creature in disguise]][[/note]] holds a normal-sized ape (the Librarian) in one hand while climbing a tall building.
** In ''Discworld/{{Jingo}}'', Corporal Nobbs recounts a story about how his uncle was a sailor who was press-ganged after a plague. A bunch of farmers got him drunk and he woke up the next morning tied to a plough.
* "Disobedience", by Creator/AAMilne, is about a three-year-old boy whose mother wanders away from his supervision and gets lost.
** Possibly better known as a Creator/ChadMitchellTrio song usually called "James James Morrison Morrison" after the first line of both the song and the poem.
* In ''Literature/TheRestaurantAtTheEndOfTheUniverse'', there is a poem about five Golgafrincham princes who, amongst other things, 'rescue beautiful monsters from ravening princesses'.
[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/YouCantDoThatOnTelevision'' is the TropeNamer; such sketches would often involve children being rewarded for poor behavior and vice versa, or put the kids in a position of power over the adults.
* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' did this a lot:
** The sketch 'Northern Playwright' featuring a father behaving like a stereotypical worker, his no less stereotypical yuppie son, and the predictable tension between them. Except it turns out that the father is a famous playwright and the son is a coal miner. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPSzPGrazPo&feature=channel_page Just watch it here.]]
** There was another sketch where a woman let an encyclopedia salesman into her home because he said that he was a burglar. Could have also been a TakeThat toward door-to-door salesmen: "I'd rather be robbed than suffer through your spiel!"
** As well as one sketch about a world where ''everyone'' is {{Superman}}, but one of them is secretly... ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome THE BICYCLE REPAIRMAN!]]''
** The "Hell's Grannies" sketch, about a gang of old ladies terrorising innocent youths.
** "The Baby Snatchers"...[[spoiler: gangs of men dressed up as babies who kidnap adults]].
** "Scotsman on a Horse", where the Scotsman [[SpeakNowOrForeverHoldYourPeace crashes a wedding]] and absconds with the groom.
* The point of ''Series/AbsolutelyFabulous,'' where the daughter is the one telling the adults to turn the boom box down and to stop drinking so much.
** The show grew out of a sketch on French & Saunders called ''Modern Mother and Daughter'', which presented this as being somewhat TruthInTelevision.
* In an episode of ''Series/GraceUnderFire'', a middle-aged dad was staying at his son's house, they have a fight, and the dad storms into his room and starts blasting swing music. The son pounds on the door and tells him to turn it down.
* The weekly murder mystery ''Series/{{Castle}}'' has the mystery-writer main character (played by Nathan Fillion) dealing with his party-girl cougar of a mother and his sage, sensible teenaged daughter, who also acts as his Watson.
* ''Series/RutlandWeekendTelevision'':
-->'''Presenter''': Hello. Are people difficult bastards or not? To clear this up, I have with me in the studio one really difficult bastard...
-->'''Difficult Bastard''': Hello, good evening.
-->'''Presenter''': ...And the bishop of Summerset.
-->'''Bishop''': Get lost.
-->'''Presenter''': Can I turn to you first, bishop?
-->'''Bishop''': Shut up.
* A sketch from ''Series/ThatMitchellAndWebbLook'' where a husband and wife are arguing because he's just returned from a business trip and she finds a bra in his suitcase. She asks, mildly annoyed, if he's cheating on her, which he cops to absentmindedly. The fight escalates as she brings in other "minor" issues such as her desire to have a baby and secret gambling addiction, until she suddenly bursts into tears and he figures out what this is ''really'' about -- that time he left the fridge door open and a whole quiche and some milk went bad.
* Done as a TakeThat on ''Series/ABitOfFryAndLaurie'', when Laurie's character walks into a convenience store and requests EIGHT PACKETS OF CONDOMS, PLEASE, loudly specifying brands and styles, and furtively asking for Jason Donovan's latest single in between.
* An episode of ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' had Elliot's boyfriend Keith upset with her because he wanted a committed stable relationship, and Elliot just wanted him for sex. Dr. Kelso treats their argument like an entertaining TV program: "It's like he's the chick and you're the dude!"
* An episode of ''Series/BostonLegal'' opens with a shopkeeper nervously eying a couple of tough-looking teenagers, fingering the silent alarm button as they step up to the register. One of them reaches into his jacket...and pulls out some cash. They turn to go, revealing Creator/BettyWhite standing directly behind them. ''She'' pulls a gun.
* ''Series/YoureSkittingMe'' has a series of sketches where a pair of teenagers treat their parents like they were teenagers.
* ''Radio/GoodnessGraciousMe''
** The famous "Having an English" sketch: A bunch of Indians in Mumbai always end up in an English restaurant after a hard night of drinking, where it is considered good form to order "the blandest thing on the menu". This satirizes the stereotypical behaviour of English patrons in Indian restaurants.
** The one white guy in the drama department of the Indian Broadcasting Corporation tries to get white people portrayed as something other than stereotyped tourists and diplomats. "[[AsianStoreOwner Why not a white shopkeeper]]?"
** An Indian family bemoans their son saying he wants to be a doctor instead of a pop star, made even worse when theyre coincidentally accurate about him being [[spoiler:a ''heterosexual'']].
* Two ''Series/WillAndGrace'' examples:
** When Grace and her boyfriend Nathan get a little too affectionate while sitting near Jack, he protests and says that HetIsEw. Nathan smiles in amusement and tells him, Were straight, we date, get used to it.
** Will and Jack want to move out to a nice suburban neighbourhood, but decide against staying in a particular house. The locals are actually thrilled about the idea of having gays live there, as they bring a lot of art and nice coffee shops and the like with them, and when Will and Jack say they want to leave they break the window with a loaf of banana bread with a note that reads, Gays, dont go home! Later on they come over with a marching band playing We Are Family as Will and Jack run off.
* Against Me!'s video for "Thrash Unreal" features a group of well-dressed, respectable looking adults going to a party... which immediately devolves into a mosh pit when they get hammered off the wine.
* In ''Radio/AcropolisNow'', set in Ancient Greece, homosexuality is the norm and sex with girls is something only done for reproductive purposes. Straight characters are seen as a bit weird.
* Used on the ''MartinMolloy'' radio show. After a news story about two pensioners who were arrested after an argument over a poker machine turned into a violent punch up, Mick Molloy launched into a spiel about how old people today had no respect for authority and how teenagers were sitting at home at night, too scared to go out because of the gangs of old people roaming the streets, and how what old people needed was another dose of national service.
[[folder:Stand-Up Comedy]]
* StewartLee "Later on I'll be explaining how my tragic and ultimately fatal heroin addiction helped me overcome my previous dependence on Born Again Christianity."
* Towards the end of his one-man show, ''Creator/NormanRockwell Is Bleeding'', Creator/ChristopherTitus imagines what would've happened if his mother's mental institution had had an open mike night:
-->''My mom would be up here, and you'd be reading about me as her crack-addicted son. A man can dream, can't he?''
* One of the big conflicts among the Imperial Inquisition of ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' is between "puritan" inquisitors, who uphold the strict, dogmatic, xenophobic credo of the Inquisition to the letter, and "radical" inquisitors who play fast and loose with the rules, often believe that the ends justify the means and have a tendency to question authority and orthodoxy in all matters. A puritan, for example, upon uncovering the activities of a Chaos cult, would launch a straightforward purge and burn them all at the stake, no questions asked. A radical might very well try to infiltrate the cult, learn what they're doing and subvert their activities - possibly even taking their daemon-cursed artefacts to turn against their creators. So far so good - and in line with modern cultural expectations we might expect that the inflexible puritans would tend to be the old-fashioned fuddy-duddies, while the radicals are the dynamic fresh blood who can see beyond the stifling hidebound dogma. But thanks to the nature of the job it very much tends to be the young, freshly-appointed inquisitors who are the puritans and the older, grizzled, seen-it-all-before veterans who are the radicals. They hit the galaxy as fiery dogmatics (the general default state for Imperial citizens), but decades or centuries of seeing how complicated and clandestine the Imperium and its enemies are tends to give them a more nuanced, less black-and-white outlook. The Gregor Eisenhorn trilogy of tie-in novels takes this transition as its major premise - following the career of the young, puritanical Eisenhorn as his experiences gradually turn him into the most radical of radicals.
* Two minor [=NPCs=] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' are a father and son. The player first meets the father, who complains that he lost his son and his son told him that he should always stay in one place if they get separated, while the son is nearby complaining about his father getting lost. When father and son meet up, the son chastises the father for not staying in one place as he was told. Considering the tiny number of [=NPCs=] and otherwise standard NPC dialogue in the game it's rather odd that they would bother to add this bit of characterization in an area where many gamers will miss it (one must explicitly intentionally backtrack to hear the final conversation between father and son).
* The manual for ''VideoGame/KingdomOMagic'' mentions that "The Good, Old-fashioned Quest" is about how you have to rescue the dragon, steal the princess, and slay the treasure. (It is in fact a lie - there is no princess, and you deal with the dragon and the treasure in the traditional way, insofar as calling a mob hit on the dragon counts as "traditional".)
* In ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'', Pintsize once created {{hentai}} about [[AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles schoolgirls raping the tentacle monsters]]. [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1524 At least 18 volumes.]]
* In ''Webcomic/{{Exiern}}'', the protagonist Tiffany observes her current predicament and concludes that she's a brave damsel about to save the beautiful dragon from the firebreathing knights. She then wonders exactly when the universe turned inside-out.
[[folder:Web Originals]]
* [[http://www.theonion.com/video/aa-destroying-the-social-lives-of-thousands-of-onc,18349/ This]] video from ''Website/TheOnion News Network'' portrays AA as a life-destroying addiction which can only be countered by consumption of alcohol.

* In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQnIJ-ljctk these]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KECbmNnT7cs two]] ''Website/CollegeHumor'' sketches, a gamer is bullied and sexually harassed by gamer girls. Warning, audio is NSFW!
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' had an episode where Grandpa is staying at the Simpsons' place and borrowing their car for dates, annoying Homer to the point where he grounds Grandpa, who storms up to his room and starts blasting big band music. Complete with LampshadeHanging:
-->'''Homer:''' He has to learn! Just like ''my'' father taught me!\\
'''Marge:''' He ''is'' your father!\\
'''Homer:''' ''({{Beat}})'' Cosmic.
** The trope is [[PlayingWithATrope utterly screwed with]] when Homer says:
-->'''Homer:''' Oh sure, when he's in trouble he's ''my'' father!
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''
** The ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' parody episode is a reverse BillyElliotPlot where a kid want to play basketball, which his flamboyant singer father disapproves of.
** In "Red Man's Greed", the "Native Americans" (''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' insists on using that terminology) are {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s who invade South Park and set up casinos, with the intent to bleed them dry. They give the white people SARS via contaminated blankets and [[MagicalNativeAmerican the traditional white trash panaceas (Dayquil, Campbell's chicken noodle soup and Sprite) cures it]].
** Cartman and Kenny are shipped off the an orphanage run by abusive [[TheFundamentalist fundamentalists]]. Except they're not Christian fundamentalists. They're ''agnostic'' fundamentalists.
-->'''Man:''' IS THERE A GOD!?!\\
'''Child:''' No! No!\\
'''Man:''' YOU HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING ONE WAY OR THE OTHER! [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment *proceeds to drench]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext child in Dr. Pepper*]]
** "Informative Murder Porn" has the children acting like MoralGuardians who blame cable TV (specifically the I.D. channel) for corrupting their parents. ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' was brought in as an attempted distraction (namely, the channel block has a Minecraft-centered question, which the parents figured out when a kid taught them Minecraft). This is very hilarious when one recalls the Season 1 episode, ''Death,'' when the parents targeted Terrance and Philip.
** In "Stunning and Brave", we again have MoralGuardians being lampooned by having them portrayed as violent, drunken frat boys.
* In the ''Westernanimation/{{Codename Kids Next Door}}'' episode "Operation: HOTSTUFF", Numbuh Three turns her house's thermostat up so high [[MundaneMadeAwesome her house turns into a volcano]]. This drives her father Kani out of their home and into Sector V's Treehouse, and Numbuh Four/Wally is left in charge. As a joke, Kani starts acting like a shiftless, lazy kid, which results in Wally acting like an overbearing father.
* A pair of ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' sketches show an alien being [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-g4FWpxjYI abducted]] and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3mE8RvQVOU anal probed]]" by a gang of rednecks in a (flying) pickup truck.

Pithoragarh is situated at a height of 5,396 feet in a beautiful valley surrounded by mighty mountains in all directions and shares borders with Nepal. Pithoragarh is a lesser known tourist destination that commands attention from two kinds of people-mountain lovers and country servers (Indian Army). As Pithoragarh shares its border with Nepal, it serves as an important halt for those heading towards the sacred Kailash Mansarovar in Tibet and Adi Kailash in India. On the way to Pithoragarh you will cross many pretty little Kumaon villages. These villages with their customary white walls blue windows and doors, cobbled stone streets and citrus fruit orchards are straight out of a picture postcard. During winter season, the orchards take on hues of orange and yellow from their ripe orange, malta and other similar fruits. Pithoragarh is a cool place in which there are less tourists, no pilgrims and tourist guides. In its environment, you can paraglide, hang glide, mountain bike, river raft, ski and trek. The mountainous terrain and swift rivers are ideal for these activities. The Nanda Devi and Panchchuli ranges of snow clad peaks can be seen from Pithoragarh. Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam Ltd. has major plans of developing Pithoragarh as an upcoming adventure destination in the near future.
Pithoragarh Weather
The town of Pithoragarh is established in a valley surrounded by giant ice laden peaks which affect the weather of the Pithoragarh valley. Located at an altitude of 1,514 m (4,967 ft), Pithoragarh has a classic �mountainous� temperature, i.e. tremendous disparity in temperature owing to great deal of elevation gradient.
Tourist Attractions in Pithoragarh
The various tourist attractions in Pithoragarh are Pithoragarh Fort, Chandak, Pancheshwar, Askot Sanctuary and Chaukori.
The Kali river meets the Saryu river at Pancheshwar. There is the Chaumu Temple in Pancheshwar which is dedicated to Lord Shiva. A mela is also held here during Shivratri each year. The devotees from the villages nearby gather here to make merry and worship Lord Shiva. At this time, a dip at the river is believed to be spiritually more effective than any other time during the year. The rest of the year, the temple is deserted. The areas near Pancheshwar offers excellent Himalayan views, trails, treks and is excellent for angling. The rivers situated here are also good for rafting.
Chaukori is a beautiful spot which is situated at a height of 6,595 feet. Chaukori offers great views of snow capped mountains and extraordinary sunrise and sunsets. The entire area is covered with tea gardens and fruit orchards that are simply great for walking around. This place is devoid of tourists and known for its quaint peaceful walk.
Pithoragarh Fort
The Pithoragarh Fort is situated on the outskirts of the main town of Pithoragarh. This fort is set on the top of a hill, and built by the Gorkhas when they took over the town in 1789.
Chaukori is a beautiful spot which is situated at a height of 6,595 feet. Chaukori offers great views of snow capped mountains and extraordinary sunrise and sunsets.

We're featuring a guest interview by bassist Tim Wolfe, Jr. interviewing his former teacher Jim Miller about Art Davis. Tim and Jim discuss Art Davis' life, career, and pedagogical approach. They discuss Art's book and his four-finger approach to the double bass, among other subjects.
We're also featuring excerpts from "Duo," a track from the Art Davis Quartet album Life and featuring Art Davis, John Hicks, Idris Muhammad & Pharoah Sanders. This album (along with other music from Art's considerable career) is available through iTunes.
Tim also created a timeline (PDF) detailing milestones in Art's career:
About Art Davis:
In a musical career that has spanned four decades, Dr. Art Davis has played his bass with a myriad of the greatest jazz, classical, and popular artists in the world. He has shared his talents with not only the best jazz musicians (John Coltrane,Max Roach, Dizzy Gillespie, Lena Horne, Thelonius Monk, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Quincy Jones, etc.), but with notable figures from popular music such as Judy Garland, Bob Dylan, Minne Pearl, Barbara Streisand, Hank Williams. Davis' career has also seen performances with major orchestras such as the National Symphony, NBC Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Radio City Music Hall Symphony, Westchester Symphony, Orange County Symphony and others.
Davis studied the tuba as well as the piano as a boy in his hometown of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania before switching to the bass in high school. He won numerous awards on both tuba and double-bass while attending high school. Upon graduation, he moved to New York to study via scholarship at both theManhattan School of Music as well as the Juilliard School of Music. While attending the latter he studied with world renown cellist Lazlo Varga andAnselme Fortier, who was principal bassist with the New York Philharmonic at that time. He earned a B.A. degree, triple major in psychology, music, physics, summa sum laude from Hunter College, City University of New York.
Art Davis' recording debut came in 1958 at the Newport Jazz Festival, with Max Roach's group that included the legendary Booker Little and George Coleman. Davis maintained a strong personal relationship with Max, and Booker Little became one of his best friends.
John Coltrane came into Art Davis' life while Davis was working with Max Roach's group at Small's Paradise in Harlem. Coltrane at that time was in Miles Davis' band and between sets asked Art if he would like to "practice" with him. Art agreed and Coltrane replied "How about tomorrow morning?" At 8:00 the following morning John Coltrane was in the lobby of Art's hotel and called him on the house phone. After that first meeting, the two practiced regularly for about a year, the sessions lasting for many hours without a break. It was during this year that John Coltrane wrote the tune "Giant Steps". Davis credits the association with John Coltrane as the most intense and enriching musical experience of his career. Until Coltrane's death in 1967, Art remained close musically and personally with him and was a member of the bands on several Coltrane albums including, "Ascension", "Africa Brass I and II", "Olé! Coltrane", and others. Art's discography as a member of Coltrane's groups also includes the original recording of "A Love Supreme" (which remains unreleased) with Coltrane's regular quartet and Archie Shepp. Art also toured intermittently with John Coltrane. Due to Davis' studio and other commitments, he was unable to become a permanent member of Coltrane's quartet, but John insisted on their continued relationship.
Then, in 1959, Davis joined Dizzy Gillespie's band and toured for two and a half years. Weary of the road he returned to New York and free-lanced. In 1961 Art became the second African-American member of the NBC Staff Orchestra, working regularly on the Merv Griffin, Jack Paar, and Johnny Carson shows (and others), as well as performing in the New York studios playing jingles, films, and freelancing with performers.
When the Griffin show moved to Los Angeles in 1971 Davis went back to school to pursue his deep interest in psychology, earning a masters degree in Experimental Psychology from the City College of the City University of New York and a masters degree and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from New York University by 1982. He supported himself while in college by teaching and performing in Broadway shows.
After receiving his doctorate, he devoted four years to psychology patients and teaching in medical centers and colleges. In 1986, Davis moved to southern California, where he currently teaches college courses and maintains a professional practice as well as playing concerts, clubs, and recordings.Throughout his busy career, Davis finds time to encourage young people to strive toward their highest professional ambitions. His fan club decided to reflect this concern and established a scholarship program for deserving students.
