Jim: As someone who spent 16 years as Chief Psychologist in one of the largest prison systems in the country supervising others and directly involved in diagnosing thousands of men with psychopathic and antisocial traits and attempting to treat them, I can assure you Jim that I know exactly what I am talking about. In all likelihood, the only way to deal with this man, who unfortunately is at the helm, is to reverse the projection and "lock him up". But, as I said, this is not about him only. His entire party in Congress is problematic. And its notions about women's health as well as science and other matters is archaic and self serving. Your condescending comment to me is emblematic of the helplessness involved in not being able to engage in mutual dialogue without being reduced to ad hominem attack and a need to dominate and control, which rather proves my point re the suppression of women and factors that contribute to it. More women voted for Clinton though not a vast majority of white women did. The identification of some white women with their mate and her own phallo centrism is a complicated process. There is a type of self abnegation, isolation and a loss of selfhood that is involved reminiscent of the type of thing we see in domestic violence. I would expect that white women with low information who are further out west are much less likely to identify with women having advanced education and experience. Black women tend to be a bit more sensitive to the kind of man Trump is. Interestingly, an informal poll this summer at the major opening plenary of the APA meeting by Johnathan Haidt (The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion) had hundreds of attendee psychologists raising their hands in support of Clinton and less than 10 who were voting Trump.
Patrick: I do not see your point with regard to black people in the south. Child abuse is rife throughout the US. Matter of fact, the vast majority of sex crimes against women and children in the US are committed by white men of which a representative portion go to prison. Still, since this crime is under reported (as one can easily see from the President elects history), it is difficult to get an accurate figure of how common it is. While we have plenty of evidence of the harms of spanking, it continues here but I imagine it is more prevalent in some poor and uneducated groups than others. I was surprised at an informal poll in a psych group here that showed so many spanking their children.
This list does not show the material I am responding to so that is it for now.
Patrick, I am presenting a psychoanalytic paper this Sunday in part showing how the US is mirroring the suicide-mass homicide mission with some cites from de Mausse. Child abuse in general is a foundational element of the thesis. However, the suppression of women is a part. Of course, this is not just about the actions or deprivations but about the mental representations. There are many parallels. It is eerie. Another piece that I think is eerie is the NY Times book review of a new bio on Hitler. I have not looked at the Atlantic Monthly article The Mind of Trump though I have heard it is pretty good. I expect Mr. Trump will become increasingly more isolated and paranoid and dictatorial as time goes on and he loses the over idealizing support of his followers, or he will just quit or be impeached by Congress within a reasonable period of time. In the mean time, he can do quite a bit of damage to existing structures and, and because of the low degree of authentic empathy, will not be someone we can count on to do the right thing. I think the over identification with his rage by the supposedly newly disenfranchised blue collar white male will fade as we still are a system of law and there will be no Krystalnacht (sp?) without just consequence. For blacks it is easier to figure out. They are used to dealing with the phallocentric white and will appear more compliant and acquiescent to humor him. But the rage will only be suppressed for a time. The master slave identity is a survival technique that can be re introduced temporarily.
Perhaps we needed to have this period so we can empathize better with some of the victims we have amassed here and overseas.
Women's rights is a big deal for me because of what I went thru as a young woman. Perhaps as our rights are gradually eroded millennial women will take up the flag and realize what Madeline Albright and Gloria Steinem were trying to tell them. BTW I just noticed in my state the Dems are still trying to get pay equity for women at .77 to the dollar for men but Republicans continue to stop it. For people who think this a zero sum game I guess they will be happy about that and the idea of locking down borders. Meanwhile, I am trying to figure out how long i have b4 I need to get out of the market.
Gloria Steinem is also the one who argued that people wouldn't vote for Hillary because she reminded them of their scary moms. Hers' was actually the most acutely "Freudian" (or Jungian: Dragon Mother) assessment I've seen. I personally think that even if you had a man as the Democratic candidate -- Sanders, or whatnot -- it wouldn't have mattered, because what ought to be automatically inferred when someone argues that the nation is still ruled by "mother issues" is the politically more consequent fact that people who had mothers who were unloved enough themselves that they required their children to meet their own unmet needs, and punished them when they individuated and self-actualized for their crime of "abandoning" them, is that they can only handle society progressing in self-actualizing ways for so long. Eventually, as Lloyd argues, they need to put an end to the growth, fuse with their nation as a motherland, split their own "badness" onto other peoples, and then war against them.

My response:
My own opinion is that Trump will be way more successful than people realize. Right now I'm hearing educated people come to the conclusion that Trump won, not actually because so many people are racist but because they have been economically abandoned by elites of both parties who didn't give a shit about them. They envision people returning to the left as soon as the left goes more Sanders... becomes more economic populist. I'm also hearing lots of talk about Trump losing the popular vote, and how that shows how he actually is beginning his presidency a bit isolated, not empowered. When I think of this I think of the Bernie Sanders supporters during the campaign, many of whom are millennials who genuinely are society's most emotionally evolved, but many of whom were actually misogynistic, and loved the fact that under cover of ostensibly irrefutably being motivated to support the most progressive candidate out there, they were with him because it let them fully enjoy vilifying Hillary, overtly enjoy their hating "the witch," which they'd clearly been wanting to do for some time. Some of these might still have voted for Hillary over Trump, but it won't take long before they're entirely his camp.
And how you're depicting the black population -- which is how Brittney Cooper portrays them as well, I admit, even as I think it's pretty obvious she's deluding herself so she can keep her own birch-wielding mother and grandmother superhuman angelic -- is I think going to set us up for more disappointment. We the left saw the white American populace as racist just moments ago, but are now in unison pulling back because it is psychically discomforting to be drawn to hate those whom we are more and more being forced to acknowledge as having been economically abandoned -- by us. Previously we didn't allow ourselves to really see their deprivation, focused as we were mostly on our own professional lives and polite and commercial havens. And as a result, we were in a sense -- and even if we were using them as our own "poison containers," that is, convenient places we deposit aspects of our own selves we need to disown -- more "fair" to them: their problem is really what it was that spawned their racist, homophobic, anti-feminist ways -- i.e. terrible childrearing -- not us for so long not really giving a shit about them. Rather than cast a romantic glow on struggling white Americans what we really needed to do is be more aggressive in attributing regressive psychological states outside the white population (where it certainly still is aplenty), and begin to recognize them better in all peoples whose childrearing is as abusive and abandoning as it is in Hillbilly Nation... and apparently in all the Rust Belt states... and maybe also--. If we could do that, we won't be surprised when Trump continues to gain support, which he will, and when members of the press, the judiciary, seem caught up in the same spell as everyone else, and institutions we thought were sure blocks against him are not only not effectual but in some cases, have morphed into building blocks for his cause.
The American left constitutes the most emotionally evolved people who have ever lived. They have not however outgrown two things their children will eventually completely outgrow. One, they did not outgrow the need to disown unwanted aspects of themselves onto other people. They did project some of their own "badness" onto the white working class -- their vulnerability, their rage -- and disconnected all feeling towards them. This is something akin to what regressives do all the time and to a much greater extent. And it does not mean that there was any other societal group or party still better able to stick up for them out there, but it is of the same mien. Second, as Steven Pinker points out, they have taken every group that white bigots hate and cast Rousseauian makeovers over them. This was entirely unnecessary, and it's going to hurt as we organize to fight Trumpism and find that a surprising number of minorities actually kind of like the hypermasculine leader who's now in charge, even if they didn't originally vote for him, and wonder why we're always defending societies' "weakest" when like Trump we could we making the nation invigoratingly strong again. Fearful of progress, because as Brittney Cooper says, it made them grotesque "Columbuses," "manipulating and ordering the universe to our own liking," they've regressed to scared children again, imagined to be encircled by terrifying parental tormentors. And, they think, here we are bringing the softer side when Trump could make us steel!
We're Jews in a Nazi society. That's how we've got to think, prepare ourselves. Not the temporarily mislaid who still have many friends and who espy in the horizon the moment when Trump will falter and we'll be able to assert ourselves again. For the "crime" of genuinely wanting the best for people and wanting people to grow Scandinavian-like self-actualized and independent from life-inhibiting, regressive traditions, we won't have many friends, because when most people get on this train it leaves them feeling like they've lost all chance at their parents' love. And when they war against people like us, it makes them feel the parental favourite, the mommy's favorite, they perhaps never were in real life. For them, there won't be any greater kick than their stomping on our faces because they'll be imagining their mothers smiling down upon them for it. Good for you! Pick on the one who'd lure you away from me!
Best of luck with your paper.

Patrick, I did finally hear amongst the noise and rattle, the reason for the lost election, on a major news channel. Everything was thrown at this woman in the end. It is not only that we have a psychopathic male running for office with frequent reference to racism, sexism and oddities of discourse, extreme and almost murderous projections throughout the time and a history of exploitation of just about everyone he has come into contact with for any length of time, but how others directly and indirectly helped his cause. This was about misogyny.
Beginning with the Republican outrage about emails that caused an 11 hour badgering and harassment, then morphing into a democratic candidate who decided to excoriate her based on all manner of so called "offenses" regarding money which offended his socialist soul but which men have been involved in for more than 200 years and someone who has his own issues historically with women, then the hammering from the press for the perception of not being more forthcoming, for "hiding" something which is a typical womb envy motivated accusation. Then she is "too sick". Compared to what? Followed by a circus performance by Trump was a disgrace and should have been taken as an insult to any decent physician. Then we have FBI Comey who said she is not guilty, then lets look again, then there's nothing there. This is pretty awful in itself but the back drop is hacked emails which were evidently orchestrated by Russia, often distorted and taken out of context and emptied upon the media and public in a measured way throughout the entire period. Finally, and this was something many did not see . . . Several days before the election Pope Francis issue a statement and threw it out to the public and to the U.S. "Women can never be priests". Why did he choose that moment? Why did he even mention something that Catholics are well aware of? It was code to all religious people that women are to be submissive and not take power. Calling her a demon is part of this last motif.
But all of this could be put down as simply campaign mud if it weren't for the determination, despite by now much walking back, that Roe v Wade is to be overturned. Unfortunately it will take quite a bit to go against this problem because, as we can see, even women themselves have to overcome their own internalized misogyny which has developed over millennia. I say these things to sensitize you and others who may be reading. Most informed women, including the young, want to be partners and not objects. Being reduced to cutesy sex objects without minds like Sarah Palin or Melania Trump is not what intelligent women are all about. These are insults.
My response:
Re: "Internalized misogyny which has developed over millennia."
James is right to direct us to the fact of so many married... of so many educated women voting for Trump. Only, I think that his "rejecting left-wing politics" isn't a sensible choice that'll save our nation, as he presents it, or your believing that women have succumbed, understandably, given that they're having to struggle for whatever inadequate gains they've made against accumulated millennias of teachings that they are evil, vile, selfish creatures, and it's a slipperily held thing. I think women Trump voters, like everyone else who voted for Trump, will vote for things that will curb the capacities for true self-actualization (e.g. Roe vs. Wade) because it is thereby that they feel they can reclaim their mother's approval. Of course, they very much plan to hate on their mother too, which is what Pope Francis was doing, which is what Comey was doing, which is what Bernie Bros were doing. But this mostly will involve a split. "Hillary" carrying the bad aspects, mother country America, the good.
In my judgment, you can be informed and educated to the tilt, but if you had an emotionally immature mother who was neglected and abused by her own caregivers, and who needed you for her own emotional homeostasis more than she actually loved you, as you and your sisters accumulate progress for yourselves you'll come to feel like your mother has turned away from you, like she did when you were an infant and you first learned to walk, like she did when you were a teen and you began your course on your own life journey, and suddenly you'll start reducing yourself to something degraded to save yourself from the apocalypse of her complete abandonment. You'll have Lloyd's (and Van der Kolk's) "persecutory parental [read: maternal] alters" yelling in your heads, and you'll heed their call, even if you have a whole assembly line of PhD knowledge otherwise filling up the space there.
I really hope the cities are as powerfully cosmopolitan as some are suggesting they are. It is not just the dumbing down of women that makes me sad -- reducing them to something harmless and uninteresting -- it's it happening to everyone as we turn nationalistic and stupid.
As female Trump supporters start screaming for the blood of their feminist sisters, I really hope that some scholars out there will come to the conclusion that something other than misinformation is involved. If they see other women as demons who need to be destroyed, have they been taught this? You can teach this? Or could it owe to their being possessed... maybe by their killer moms?
None of this should sound too outrageous here. It's pretty much straight deMausian thought. I weep for all the women who didn't get their full chance to self-actualize and be very much opposite of cutesy sex objects, as I weep for all the boys who didn't get their chance to fully self-actualize as well. I'm in the fight to help ensure this fate for everyone, but I think we have to be smarter as to the actual causes for misogyny, for DeMause's way will help us understand why men and women will feel so incredibly righteous as they target empowered, feminist women. It means their mother's love has returned to them. And it will be lost again if you somehow manage to get through to them again. We're too late in this time period's growth phase for this sacrilege to be tolerated.

ARTIST INTERVIEW: Misa Miyagawa of Botanica Workshop
Botanica Workshop is a lifestyle brand focusing on underwear and loungewear for women made of organic and sustainable materials. Established by Misa Miyagawa in 2014, their independent design studio was born from a need for responsibly produced intimates with a designer aesthetic and quality to match. They partner with local artisans and technicians to create small production runs of well crafted pieces a few times a year in Los Angeles, CA. We spoke with Misa about creativity and inspiration.
What is your background and how have your past experiences fed into your art?
I was born and raised in Silverlake, and the art/design world has intrigued me since childhood. A few years ago, I became fascinated with organic and biodynamic growing practices for vegetables and herbs, as well as the local distribution systems for agricultural crops. My lifestyle choices began to revolve around this fascination, as well as sustainability and recycled products. Although I studied fashion design at Parsons in NYC and Central St. Martins in London, I am new to the world of intimates. Each collection is approached with the sensibility of a ready-to-wear wardrobe, along with the handcrafted feel and technical construction of vintage undergarments.
Do you feel that your environment feeds into work and if so, what makes your work distinctively Californian?
Yes, I am greatly influenced by my current environment, as well as my past experiences- the fast paced world of the New York fashion industry, the youth culture and vintage fervor of London, and now the vast network of independent creatives in Los Angeles. I'm a fourth generation Japanese American- there are always guesses about my background but it's very different than one might assume. Personally I identify most with being Californian- this is inherent in my work, which has evolved greatly over time. Living in any big city can feel competitive, but for me, working in LA allows a certain amount of risk taking and failure in my creative process that is important. It's something that I have never felt comfortable with elsewhere. Somehow I feel that there's more potential to create in this environment. I like to think that Botanica Workshop has a global style. It is greatly influenced by our customers, who come from all over the world.
What are your top 3 studio essentials?
– Organic looseleaf tea- hoji-cha and earl grey are in the current rotation
– Black canvas espadrilles- my studio slippers
– A German drafting brush inherited from my mother, to sweep away the debris on the cutting table

The Noble labour of the Qianlong emperor: The Pictures of Tilling and Weaving at work
Tuesday, Jul 24, 2018
6:00pm - 8:00pm
This special event features a much-anticipated return of the Qianlong-era Pictures of Tilling and Weaving (Geng zhi tu 耕織圖) that are currently in the Huaihai Tang 懷海堂 Collection of Hong Kong. Through the generosity of their owner, rare imperial rubbings of the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving will be on display for viewing after a lecture by Dr. Roslyn Hammers of the University of Hong Kong.
With grandiose ambition that typifies much of Qianlong's art commissions, the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving were flamboyantly embellished and glorified by this emperor. Dr. Hammers, in this lecture, explores the appeal of the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving and Qianlong's motivations for dedicating a garden in one of his imperial palaces to their display. With Qianlong's enthusiastic patronage, the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving became a canonical subject for art in the Qing era, and served the Qing court as an emblem to announce its just and prosperous agricultural policies. The Pictures of Tilling and Weaving were emblazoned on many surfaces of countless objects to demonstrate recognition of the great achievements of Qing governance. In this lecture, Dr. Hammers explains how Qianlong, ever inspired and energetic, personally introduced an iconographic twist, a change to the imagery, harnessing the authority and power of the canonical Pictures of Tilling and Weaving to announce the supremacy of the Qing imperium in all matters political and cultural.
Dr. Roslyn Lee Hammers is an Associate Professor at the University of Hong Kong in the Department of Fine Arts. A specialist in Chinese painting, her research interests include imagery with technological content. She has written Pictures of Tilling and Weaving: Art, Labour, and Technology in Song and Yuan China (2011, HKU Press) and has published articles on other aspects of the presentation of labour, techniques, and tools in visual culture from the Song to Qing eras. She is presently working on a book-length manuscript entitled "Ennobling Labour: The Imperial patronage of the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving in eighteenth-century China."

Home › Forums › Wrexham.com Forums › Wrexham Forum › Councillors To Discuss Market Options: Investment, Outsource Management or Sell
March 21, 2016 at 6:27 pm #109521
Should be interesting. I wonder how the Market component of the Peoples Market will fit in with the other 2 Markets if the Hub itself is "gifted" to a trust. Will the trust determine the direction that this component takes, will it be autonomous or will its future track the other markets. Given the fact that the Peoples Market has been the biggest Market, can the other 2 be viable as Markets; after all, staff costs have been spread across 3 Markets in the past.
Most significantly, how can the Markets be reconfigured and modernized to keep pace with other Market linked towns (like Bury and Altrincham) now that they are to be topped and tailed.March 24, 2016 at 7:35 pm #109691
It is quite astonishing that Scrutiny meeting this week seem to be able to determine the use of the Peoples Market when the Council have declared that the Arts Hub will be handed to a Trust to run. Any new management -whatever structure will clearly need to maximise income any interference by the Council in determining use will be detrimental and only go towards making this whole project a failure.March 24, 2016 at 9:46 pm #109697
When Councillor Hugh Jones the Lead Member brought the Arts Hub/Peoples Market before the Executive Board in January 2015, he quoted that there would be a loss of 14 stalls to the new development. At that time the Peoples Market was quoted by the Council as having 58 stalls. We are now losing 38 stalls instead of the original 14. How can we believe anything else the Council tell us when the figures are as distorted as those given.
I have sympathy with traders in the Butchers and General Markets in having to choose the options they were given. The devil you know is better than the devil you don't know. Unfortunately, the devil you know is completely incapable of running the markets.March 25, 2016 at 11:29 am #109716
I wrote my first post before the reported meeting. Some interesting positions being taken. Councillor Rogers, for examnple, reported back that the stalls in the projected Arts Hub will not necessarily be Arts linked. Whilst I can see the element of appeasing existing traders, this will mean that the brand identity of the Arts Hub will not be as strong as a reconfiguration of the Markets could have allowed. What comparable towns across the US have done, for example, is reconfigure Markets so that one space is Arts/Crafts, another food, another general merchandise and so on. Given that we have 3 spaces, we could have done this without imposing a Hub concept upon a viable MarketMarch 25, 2016 at 11:47 am #109719
Good observation Jim. There is a real element of Hobson's choice fused with El Dorado about the Market trader inclination towards retaining the Council as a landlord. Exploration of a NMTF route forward and some sort of Cooperative entity has been tossed around in the past. Unfortunately, trader division and lack of confidence/funding thwarted that. The thought of a 3rd party seems to scare the traders (understandably). Whilst WCBC has not been the "good" landlord quoted in Wrexham.Com's report, it has always had the potential to be so…and did show huge signs under Amanda's recent management of positivity. Whatever now occurs, I hope that all concerned get a grip on things

Natalie Coughlin has thought about quitting, about getting on with the rest of her life.
Usually, those thoughts wash over her after the Olympics, when she's pushed herself to the brink in training and can't bring herself to swim even one more stroke.
Inevitably, after taking a few months to reflect, her love for the sport returns.
Then she'll realize: Why give up something she enjoys so much?
''I love working out. I love the process,'' Coughlin said during a recent meet in Charlotte, North Carolina. ''I would be doing this anyway. I would just have to balance a real job on top of it if I retired. Why do that when I can just do this full time?''
At 32, Coughlin knows she's in the twilight of a brilliant swimming career. But she's making a run at her fourth Olympics and the chance to become the most decorated female athlete in U.S. history.
Her commitment is impressive to an almost entirely younger group of competitors.
''I know how hard it is for me at 28,'' said Jessica Hardy, who won two medals in London. ''It can't be easy for her.''
With a dozen medals in her trophy case, there's really nothing left for Coughlin to prove.
But one more trip to the podium in Rio would put her at the top of the list all by herself, breaking a tie with Dara Torres and Jenny Thompson. Torres was the oldest female swimmer to compete at an Olympics when she swam in Beijing at age 41, and brought home three silver medals.
''As you get older, it really gives you perspective on how special this is, how finite this is,'' Coughlin said. ''It's way more enjoyable now. I've already won 12 medals. I don't need any more medals to validate myself. It's fun. I'm really enjoying this. There's really no pressure other than what I put on myself.''
Coughlin was once America's most dominant and versatile female swimmer, often mentioned in the same breath with Michael Phelps. She ranked among the world's best in three strokes - backstroke, freestyle and butterfly. She won five medals at the 2004 Athens Olympics, six more at the Beijing Games four years later.
Not that it was an entirely enjoyable ride.
''My younger self, I was angry. I was so competitive,'' Coughlin conceded. ''I'm still crazy competitive, but I know where swimming fits in my life. It's not my life. It's what I do.''
Her career appeared to be winding down at London, the torch passing to a new generation of female stars led by Missy Franklin. Coughlin failed to qualify for an individual event, making the U.S. team solely as a member of the 4x100-meter freestyle relay. Even then, she competed only in the morning heat, receiving a bronze medal when the Americans finished third in the evening final.
Instead of fading into retirement, as many expected, Coughlin was determined to keep going.
''It wasn't really a question of whether to continue to swim or not,'' she recalled. ''I just knew I needed a change, so I made those changes.''
Most notably, Coughlin went with a new coach.
For 12 years, she had worked with Cal women's coach Teri McKeever, a highly productive partnership that carried over to a close relationship away from the pool. With her career at a turning point, Coughlin switched to the men's coach at the Berkeley, Dave Durden, giving her a chance to work with top male sprinters Nathan Adrian and Anthony Ervin.
For Coughlin, the men's group provided the sort of training she needed moving into her 30s. It's not uncommon to switch coaches or training plans as a swimmer ages - some switch to shorter events that create less wear or tear, switch up coaches or alter training plans.
''It was tough'' to leave McKeever, Coughlin said. ''But both of us were on the same page that I needed to do something different. More than anything, I was so much older than rest of the girls on Teri's team. My needs were so different. My needs were much more similar to Nathan's and Anthony's. It would have been selfish of me to ask and demand that from Teri's group.''
There were other benefits, as well.
''When you work with the same person for so long, they see you every single day. That can get stale,'' Coughlin said. ''It's like someone going through a weight loss. If you lose 50 pounds over three months, you might not notice it if you see that person every day. ... I just needed a new set of eyes and kind of a refresh.''
Durden has been most impressed with Coughlin's drive to improve, even if it's something as simple as a kick set the team does on Friday mornings.
''She's the consummate professional in terms of getting to practice, her routine, how she moves through it, the thoughtfulness she places on what she's doing,'' he said. ''That's pretty darn impressive.''
With Durden's group, there's more of a focus on weight training to build up speed for the freestyle sprints. Coughlin has also worked on altering her stroke, looking to get less rotation, remain flatter against the water and expend less energy. Looking to get more flexibility in her shoulders, Durden has pushed Coughlin to resume competing in the 100 backstroke, an event she won in both Athens and Beijing.
''Chipping away, chipping away, chipping away,'' Coughlin said with a smile. ''Hopefully at the end, you have a sculpture.''
And maybe one more Olympic medal.

text: Grains Lifted By Euro-Zone Hopes October 24, 2011 01:35 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Julianne Johnston Pro Farmer Digital Managing Editor Email Twitter Follow me on twitter @julijohnston Overnight highlights. Following are highlights of overnight trade and opening calls: Corn: 6 to 10 cents higher. Futures were mostly 9 to 10 cents higher overnight on support from euro-zone leaders making progress toward solving its debt crisis. On Sunday, euro leaders said they were getting closer to finalizing a plan to solve its debt crisis. But given there are still no details of what the plan will be, price action could be choppy, mimicking the U.S. dollar index this morning. Soybeans: 14 to 17 cents higher. Futures were lifted overnight by expectations euro-zone leaders would have a concrete plan in place by the Wednesday deadline to avoid a debt default. Also supporting beans overnight was a pickup in manufacturing in China in October which reflected expansion in its economy. According to Chinese customs data, bean imports from January-September were down 6% from the previous year and due to negative crushing margins, imports in September were down 11% from last year. Wheat: 8 to 12 cents higher. Futures were lifted by expectations euro-zone leaders were moving in the right direction to avoid a debt default. A plan is expected to be announced by Wednesday, but over the weekend leaders said they were making solid progress toward that announcement. This has eased concerns among traders, but choppy price action could be seen as traders wait for more details. The U.S. Dollar index is choppy this morning, but wheat is being lifted by spillover from neighboring pits. Live cattle: Slightly to moderately lower. Futures are called weaker in reaction to Friday's Cattle on Feed Report, which showed On Feed and Placements above expectations and Marketings just above expectations. However, general commodity buying could help to limit losses and cause traders to "fade" the report. Also, Friday's Cold Storage Report showed beef in frozen storage at the end of last month below expectations, signaling stronger-than-expected demand. Lean Hogs: Mixed. Futures are expected to be mixed amid spreading. Upside potential is expected to be limited by Friday's Cold Storage Report, which showed pork in frozen storage above expectations, signaling pork demand hasn't been as strong as anticipated at a time when slaughter increased.

We're big fans of London here! It's is a fabulous multicultural city that is constantly changing. Many people return every couple of years to see the changes and experience the same atmosphere with a different mindset. However, the capital of the UK is one of the most expensive when it comes to accommodation. If you would like to spend a few days in London without breaking the piggy bank, you might want to get smart and budget better next time. Here are five tips to help you save on your London getaway.
1. Couponing
Whether you would like to skip the queues of the London Eye or Madame Tussaud's, you can find an online booking site where you can pre-order your admission tickets and save money at the same time. If you are arriving for a short break at the weekend, especially traveling during the school holidays, you will have to put up with the crowd. Check coupon and discount sites to find your deal and stop wasting time on standing in the queue.
2. AirBnB
When traveling with kids, you might not want to stay in a five-star hotel. Comfort is more important. The good news is that there are plenty of AirBnB offers around London you can take advantage of. You might even get your own kitchenette, so your kids can eat what they want for breakfast. You'll be surprised how much you can save if you book an apartment from the local hosts directly, instead of going through a travel agent.
3. Public Transport
If you want to see as much as possible in a few days, you will need to get a tourist Oyster card for the family. This means you can have unlimited travel and discounts on many attractions, and stick to your budget as well. You can buy the visitor Oyster card online and pick it up at the airport or one of the major railway stations. This will take the stress out of your trip as well.
4. Stay Out of the City
While staying close to the main attractions might be convenient when you are traveling with kids, it is not always the cheapest. You might want to book a room at Courtyard London Gatwick Airport if you are arriving by plane, and get a deal on your public transport tickets for the duration of your stay. London is served by fast trains, so there's no need to stay in the city center. You will save money on your accommodation and get much better value for your money, too.
5. Discover Free Attractions
Instead of focusing on the tours you are being sold on every corner, you might want to check out the free attractions in London to take the kids to. Organise a picnic in the park, visit the British Museum, or check out the street art of East London.
Visiting London with your family can be expensive, but you can save money by using the tips above. Stay out of the centre, get a discount card, and take advantage of special admission ticket offers to skip the queues.

As a vocal director, it is my goal each week to provide clear and organized materials that our singers can easily follow. These resources help our singers become confident in their parts so that they are free of distractions, allowing them to simply worship and lead during services.
Here are some of the resources that have been most helpful for our team.
Song Scan: Provides the lyrics of the song arrangement, notes who has leadership and when all vocals are singing.
Vocal Chart: Outlines the melody and harmonies of the song using the Nashville number system. We found that this was the next best solution for those who may not know how to read sheet music. If you're a music theory nerd like I am, you'll love this.
Vocal Isolations: An mp3 that lays out each vocal part over the track with piano or a live vocal. This comes in especially handy for those who learn best by ear.
Leading a team of vocalists is much more than having talented, exceptional singers. What I look for in our team members is HUMILITY, a TEACHABLE SPIRIT and FLEXIBILITY combined with a joyful attitude.
Humility: There is no room for pride in a healthy team. Remember that it's not about you. There's a greater purpose to what we're doing. It's all for the glory of God, not for the glory of (insert your name here).
Teachable Spirit: The ability to take direction and make the adjustment that is being requested.
Flexibility: Changes happen. Songs are added last minute or you may be asked to sing a different vocal part. It's important to have a "yes" attitude partnered with, yes, I'm going to mention it again, JOY.
Finally, it is my desire to see vocal teams grow and succeed week to week. Here are some helpful tips as you lead and/or sing on your worship teams.
Blend: If there is a blending issue, it's most likely a vowel issue. Who is leading the song and how are they shaping their vowels? Take note, have the singers face each other, sing the phrase again and challenge them to match the shape of the leader's mouth. I know this may be awkward, but I promise it helps. This will most often correct minor pitch issues as well.
Power: Tell your testimony through your singing. I always encourage our vocalists to do this. This brings dynamics to your expression. Does what you're singing mean something to you? Is the song a prayer? Pray it over your life, your situation. Pray it over the people you're leading.
Simplify: Allow a song to breathe. Even if harmonies fit on a bridge, for example, it doesn't mean they need to be there. Sometimes the words are more powerfully conveyed in prime unison.
Grow: Never stop learning. Take vocal lessons or attend a vocal workshop. Learn music theory. Keep getting better. There is always an area you can grow in.
Continue loving on your team and leading with strength! This is my prayer for you today:
"May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 15:5-6

When certain situations occur, I usually try to reserve judgment until there is enough information to form an opinion. I think the oil leak has reached that point.
First off, we should have never been drilling in the ocean. We get so little oil from the area that it hardley makes a difference in the world production. Also, it's not like the oils is sucked up out of the Gulf and poured right into your local gas station. It actually hits the world market and ends up going to somewhere other than the US. It is hard enough to contain spills on land. When you add water and more than a mile in between the rig and the tap into the equation, you are asking for something bad to happen. Well guess what, something disastrous happened.
So you may ask why I am calling Obama a joke in this whole debacle. It all comes down to one reason: he is as much of a corporate shill as the last president, and the guy before that, and the guy before that, etc.
As soon as this leaking started pumping out thousand of gallons of oil into the Gulf, the president should have been slamming heads together around BP and getting every engineer and physicist in the world together to stop the leak. Instead, he sat back with a frown and let BP handle their mess. Great idea!
I love the stories of Obama getting angry and yelling at the CEO of BP. Yet, as soon as he is done, he lets this bastard go back to doing the same thing he was doing before. Then, he says he is going to stop any new drilling in the Gulf while almost simultaneously telling the oil companies "Sure, do whatever you want." Yelling at someone and then allowing the same practices to continue is not genuine, it is as fake as Heidi Montag's nose.
Now today we hear that Obama has yelled at BP and the republicans, scolding them for being bad kids. In the same speech, he talks about expecting accidents when drilling for oil and essentially says we are going to continue drilling for oil. How about this, grow a pair of balls and actually do something other than acting like you are pissed off.
Don't get me wrong, pissed off is good. As a matter of fact, I think he needs to be pissed off more often. But when you get all pissy and then do nothing, you just look like a Doberman that has had his lower jaw removed. I'll go ahead and say it here and now: I think Obama is too much of a coward to actually penalize BP. He I too much of a coward to force the republicans to vote for legislation against the oil industry or to stand with the oil industry whilst they sink into the gulf along with all of the wildlife the oil leak is killing.
We saw the same thing during health care and financial "reform". Obama comes out with strong words and marshmallow action. I would love nothing more than to be proven wrong, but if history is any indicator, we can expect a TARP-style response: privatized gains and socialized losses. We are already going to loose the fishing industry and the coastal states along with it, so lets see how much we end up having to pay BP, TransOcean, and Halliburton to clean up their mess.

But honestly the positives of this time of year far out way the negative. The gorgeous changes in colours:
Dark nights cozied in front of the fire under blankets, jumping in leaves, hats, scarf's and gloves, hot chocolate, winter stews, Halloween - these were last year's pumpkins by myself and miss boo:
Papa O assures me he's got us a great big pumpkin this year, which he's planning on bring over later this evening and this years party outfits are well underway to being made and bought.
So even though this season does mess with my head (and makes my dodgy French cars windows steam up at any given opportunity, thus having to use the air con button and using more fuel!) I still totally love October and Autumn!!! (And the happy pills help with my mood!)
Bye for now and happy planting!!

manchester united vs malaysia
i have been crossing off days for this event!
ok, so i'm not really a hardcore football fan. i will not slash you with a broken beer bottle if you talk shit about my favourite team. i actually don't even have a favourite team. my criteria for favourite team used to be the one with the hottest guys, but meeh, i'm over that phase of my life. especially once i realised the team with the hot guys kinda sucked.
we got there at 3 p.m. (kick off time was at 5.30) and basically had to shove/squeeze our way through. the crowd was insane. and loud.
have i mentioned how boring waiting is? because it is. waiting is boring.
i took pictures of everything around me to kill time. there was this one fail sign that read 'CHRISTIANO RONALDO WHO?' there is no 'h' in cristiano, friend.
and then the band came on!
they were from some maktab, or st. john's school – something like that. i heard both mentioned and a band played at half time too, so maybe there were two bands.
the teams came out to do warm ups after, and the crowd was very appreciative.
the atmosphere in the stadium was electrifying. everyone was pumped up,lots of joking and laughter. lots of booing too, mainly aimed at the select few who inexplainably showed up in barcelona, arsenal and liverpool jerseys. either they had nothing else to wear (which is stupid, because anything else would have been better) or they wanted to cause controversy and gain attention.
in that case, well played.
i shall summarize the game because describing it in detail will bore me, and subsequantly, bore you too.
rooney scored the opening goal, with nani adding a second a little bit later. nani proceeded to celebrate with his trademark somersault.
to everyone's surprise, and delight too i'd like to think, malaysia's no.17 scored just before half time ended.
and he scored again in the second half. i'm so sorry i don't know your name no.17, especially since you were pretty much malaysia's hero today.
owen came on as a substitute and scored a third goal for manchester bringing the end score to 3-2. and then i went home, all sweaty and grimy, but completely entertained.
honestly, i think manchester, like chin hong said, underestimated malaysia a lot. both teams came in knowing who was the better team. manchester responded by letting their guard down, and malaysia responded by fighting tooth and nail.
i think it helped that our goalkeeper, farizal, was amazing. at least, i think he was. he saved some really good goals.
i was so proud of malaysia. so, so proud.
i also loved how though 3/4 of the crowd showed up sporting manchester jerseys, everyone went crazy when they saw that malaysia was putting up a decent fight.
appreciate the home team, yo.
as usual, there were the expected group of idiots to bear. i call them the 'wahlao! boys' and they were seated right in front of us.
god, they were annoying.
for one thing, they were completely pro man u, which is fine. i mean, don't support your home team, whatever. no one likes you anyways. but you don't have to criticise their every moves. also, i love how they termed malaysia's good playing as 'luck'. yes, of course. that must be it. we can't possibly have actualy talent now, can we?
also, their favourite phrase was – can you guess it – WAHLAO. omg. they said it so often, often one sentence would be made up of three wahlaos. i sort of wanted to kick one of the guys, and say, 'wahlao! shut up la.'
i didn't though. self-restraint, i epitomise.
OWENNNNNNNNNNNNNN. i like. i like very much.
blurry picture of everyone making nice when the match ended.
so tired now. must sleep. charity boot sale tomorrow!

VIGAN City, which hopes to host the event after its 1953 and 1973 hostings when it was still called Bureau of Public Schools-Interscholastic Athletics Association, has made it clear to snatch the hosting of the Palarong Pambansa next year which was already pronounced clear when it hosted the Ilocos Region Athletic Association earlier this year.
In its official website prior the RIAA hosting, it wrote: "The thorough preparation is in line with the plan of the PGIS to bid for the Palarong Pambansa in 2018. The athletics meet will be a prelude of the Palaro, if Ilocos Sur will be given the chance to be the place of the historic sports event."
Officials of the 460-year old plus Vigan and Ilocos Sur want 2018 as memorable as possible. After completing the conversion of the Elpidio Quirino stadium into world class athletic facility in 2015, Ilocos Sur plans for something big as it also gears up for its bicentennial celebration of its separation from Ilocos Norte next year.
The father and son tandem of Governor Ryan and former Gov. Luis Singson have spent millions of dollars to bring the Ms. Universe candidates last January to Vigan in a show of force that may dwarf the cost of hosting the Palaro. It was a clear sign that they are dead serious to make something big leading to next year.
If Ilocos Sur wins, Palaro delegates will reportedly be ferried to Vigan City first class using the Singson owned bus line Partas and if need be, officials will be flown in to the capital, which has been listed as a world heritage site by the Unesco.
Bombo Radyo Vigan reported earlier this year that a recent visit of Department of Education (DepEd) assistant Sec. Tonisto Umali and Palaro officials to the city has all but confirmed Vigan's hosting of the country's biggest sporting event.
The report said although Umali may have not directly stated that Ilocos Sur will be host by inspecting the province's facilities to ensure that Ilocos Sur is capable of hosting the Palaro, provincial officials are confident that they have built a solid case, something Palaro officials will definitely not overlook.
During the Palaro in Antique, hang a huge tarpaulin that read: "Welcome to the Heritage Province of Ilocos Sur: The Host of Palarong Pambansa 2018".
Vigan hosted the event's 6th edition in 1953 when then Pres. Elpidio Quirino, a proud son of the province, also inaugurated the then town's new sports stadium named after him.
Vigan repeated as host in 1973 right after its cancellation the previous year due to the declaration of Martial Law.
Some 45 years later, Ilocos Sur hopes to host the event which will see around 12,000 delegates including some 7,000 athletes from 18 regions.
The Palaro, which saw the inclusion of aerogymnastics and demo sports like wushu, wrestling, futsal and billiards as medal events the last staging, is expected to be held late April and early May next year.
Baguio and Benguet must step up their efforts in the hope to catch up with Ilocos Sur and host the Palaro for the first time, a first also for the mountain region.
Despite the disadvantage, Domogan believes that Baguio-Benguet can still pull it off. "We will bid as it is," he said after Wednesday's Ugnayan at his office.
Domogan said that the weather will be Baguio's selling point when it so much cooler here during that period of the year, the hottest.
In other areas, play starts at 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. when it stops and resumes only after 2 p.m.
Domogan likewise says that accommodation is not a problem because of its proximity with the venues.
And third, the venues because the universities have opened their doors and their gyms will be used during the week-long event, he added.
The other (bidders) may have difficulty providing for some of the venues since they need yet to construct, while we can depend on our colleges," he said.
Last Palaro, the DepEd allotted around P300 million budget which were downloaded to the regions and divisions. Of this amount, P30 million went to the repairs of billeting areas for the delegates. Another P10 million came from the Philippine Sports Commission and the office of Senator Loren Legarda. (PML)

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I understand Karen Gast is no longer among the living, however, there's a woman who works in her shop now that LOOKS JUST LIKE HER (IT'S NOT HER).
U. S. District Court for the Western District of New York at Buffalo
Robert Christopher Kettenburg, Plaintiff
389 Davison Road #4
Lockport, New York 14094
(716) 433-8611
Karen Gast Photography, Defendant
389 Davison Road
Lockport, New York 14094
(716) 434-2642
COMPLAINT Under Title 18 of The United States Civil Statue Code, Part I, Chapter 13,
Section 241: Conspiracy Against Rights.
Section 242: Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law.
Title 18 U.S. Code, Part I, Chapter 113C, Section 2340A: Torture, as defined in Section 2340.
1.) This action is brought pursuant to Title XVIII of The United States Civil Statue Code for conspiracy against rights, deprivation of rights under color of law, and torture, as defined in Section 2340. Jurisdiction is specifically conferred on the Court by 42 U.S.C. section 2000e-5. Equitable and other relief are also sought under 42 U.S.C. section 2000e-5(g).
2.) Plaintiff, Robert Christopher Kettenburg, is a citizen and honorably discharged veteran of The United States of America and resides at 389 Davison Road #4, Lockport, New York, 14094. Phone - (716) 433-8611. His address on the internet is: http://www.geocities.com/robkettenburg
3.) Defendant, Karen Gast, is a woman who owns and operates the business located directly below plaintiff's apartment and drives a silver Jeep Liberty with NY plate BLM6651.
4.) The circumstances regarding said civil rights violations are as follows: Defendant uses her business as a base to track and torture plaintiff, who is an honorably discharged veteran that hasn't committed any crimes. Defendant signals to people in law enforcement when plaintiff leaves his dwelling so that he is tracked and his civil rights are violated. Defendant also likes to put litter boxes with really bad smelling cat litter up into the loft of her business so that the smell seeps up into plaintiff's bedroom, stinking it up. Plaintiff would like to ask the Court: How is it that the defendant stayed in business over the last six months when she averages less than one customer per month? And the answer is, of course, defendant supplements her income by violating the civil rights of honorably discharged soldiers who haven't committed any crimes on behalf of our government/law enforcement, in exchange for money. A simple investigation should show the plaintiff is telling the truth.
WHY? Plaintiff directs this Court to the following internet document: http://www.geocities.com/robkettenburg/02-930.html
The story and links contained on said web site should be all the proof this Court needs. Plaintiff believes the information contained on said web page is sufficient evidence to convince a jury of his claims, and plaintiff seeks to exercise his right to Trial by Jury in this civil matter.
5.) The civil rights violations set forth in paragraph 4 of this statement are still being committed by the defendant to this day.
6.) WHEREFORE, plaintiff prays that the Court grant the following relief to the plaintiff:
Defendants be directed to pay $30,000.00 for intentional acts committed in paragraph 4 of this complaint resulting in conspiracy against the plaintiff's rights, deprivation of the plaintiff's rights under color of law, and torture, ($10,000.00 per civil rights violation), and, that the Court grant other relief as may be appropriate, including injunctive orders, damages, costs, and any attorney's fees.
7.) I certify that all of the information contained herein is true to the best of my knowledge and that a copy of this complaint was mailed to the defendant using normal mail delivery on October 4th, 2004.

Lot 17
Lot 17
A 'hair-crystal' snuff bottle
Colourless crystal with inclusions of tourmaline; with a concave lip and recessed flat foot surrounded by a protruding flat footrim
What this particular form has in common with most bottles with a protruding foot is that the foot is broader on the main profile than the neck, while being narrower from the narrow-side view. This greater width in one direction gives it greater stability and it is also important visually. From the main view of a compressed or flattened form, even if the body itself is not tapered, the larger foot gives the impression of a taper, accentuated here by the rounding of the shoulders, which is greater than the base area leading into the foot. This adds visual sturdiness to functional sturdiness. It also adds a touch of elegance. In this case, it is particularly suitable as a form, since the black tourmaline crystals are concentrated more heavily around the foot, accentuating the tapering effect on one main side.
Another intriguing aspect of this form is that if you take the area of maximum width and visualize it as a band, as in a banded agate for instance, it is placed just below the centre line. Together with the greater concentration of the needles in the lower part of the bottle, this form serves to give a lower centre of gravity to the bottle, which visually balances the prominent detail of the stopper and makes the form more confident and sturdy. There is also an unusual feature of the narrow side profile in this example: it tapers towards the foot, giving the opposite impression visually to the main-side profile. Again, however, banality of form is avoided by placing the maximum width in a band above the centre line in the same way as it is below the centre line in the main profile. This also serves as a balance, although a different one, for the visual weight of the stopper.
This is a typical example where, so as not to lose the beauty of the material, which, after all, lies in the inclusions in the walls of the bottle, the hollowing has left a substantial thickness of wall. This is one typical way of hollowing crystal bottles, where a greater depth of wall created a brilliance of material that was valued and, in this case, allowed for more internal markings. The only criticism one could level at the hollowing is in the finishing. The fan-shaped markings of the initial, annular drilling to create space in which to work are still visible, although mostly polished out, whereas the perfectionist would have removed them. It is such markings that allowed us to figure out how bottles were hollowed in the first place. It is likely that this common feature on certain crystal bottles, several of which are of this form and in hair-crystal, may be from the same workshop and represent a school style.
There is a point worth making about the stopper here. As a rule, doubled collars rarely work successfully, unless they are of the same colour and used to create a specific profile of collar, or a greater depth. With the extensively used vinyl collars of recent decades, it is sometimes useful to be able to step the collar by using two different sized discs or, to double its depth, two of the same size. Using collars of two different colours or materials is rarely successful, however, since it looks a bit pretentious. It works here only because the two are so thin that together they make up the thickness of a single collar, and because the black can be read almost as a line defining the upper limits of the black tourmaline needles. It might have been better to omit the green collar, however, since the two raise the stopper, which is already a tall one, to a slightly uncomfortable height. The formal balance between stopper and bottle is crucial, and if one overpowers the other it is lost. It is eventually, like so much in aesthetics, a matter of personal taste but there are certain canons that are sensibly applied, even if they can never be absolute.

Commentators were outraged by activist Jonathan Moylan's fake media release that caused disruption to the stock market last week. But there was little concern about the the impact of coal mining on people's health and the climate, the issue that prompted what was called his act of civil disobedience.
Decades ago, industry and government were slow to listen to the message of activists about the dangers of asbestos, and we are now paying the price. The effect of coal mining on the health of local communities is probably far less significant, but nevertheless overseas evidence suggests it could be serious and far-reaching.
The Beyond Zero Emissions 2012 study Health and Social Harms of Coal Mining in Local Communities points to evidence of elevated mortality rates in Appalachian coal mining areas in the US. The authors stress the need to research the health effects of coal mining in the Hunter Valley and other regions. But instead governments appear to be granting mining licences indiscriminately and offering favourable treatment to the coal industry.
The study cites offshore evidence of excess deaths from lung cancer and chronic heart, respiratory and kidney disease related to living near coal mines. Its authors detail major expansion that is underway or planned in our coal mining industry, but point out that there is a 'glaring absence of local evidence to determine what impacts these projects will have on the health of surrounding communities'.
It seems governments do not want to know about the long-term health impacts of coal mining. Coal mining's short-term economic benefit is more attractive politically, and there is also strong lobbying from industry groups and others. Rod Campbell of the public interest advocacy group Economists at Large suggests government actions go beyond cavalier and are more underhand.
The Maules Creek community on whose behalf Moylan was acting approached Campbell's group to help make sense of the 2000 page environmental impact statement that was delivered just days before Christmas with only weeks to respond. He writes: 'Our assessment of the review is scathing. Gillespie Economics has overlooked the foreign ownership of the project and presented profits to overseas interests as benefits to the NSW community.'
Moylan did the wrong thing in undermining public confidence in the share trading system, which in turn underpins the stability of our economy. His actions were fraudulent and supporting them would amount to affirming anarchy and rejecting the rule of law, even if governments and the coal industry don't appear to be acting with integrity and in the public interest.
He was, as he told the ABC, only making 'the announcement that ANZ should have made, that it wasn't going to be investing unethically' in Whitehaven's Maules Creek Coal Project.

Every little bit helps us in our efforts to bring a distinctive, values-based take on the issues and events that matter in our world.
When the democratic processes are corrupt and elected governments fail to serve the needs of those who have elected them, people of conscience are provoked to act. We have little tradition of civil disobedience in this country but the actions of Jonathan Moylan can be seen as part of that tradition. While they may be illegal they can be defended.

"It seems governments do not want to know about the long-term health impacts of coal mining" - especially the impact on climate change.
See George Monbiot's comments re Aust coal mining:
I was thinking a lot about this recently when I saw the South Qld coal trains passing through Wynnum on the way to the Port of Brisbane. Up to 20 trains in 24 hours (right through the night), each train with 42 carriages of uncovered coal...causing dust problems for local residents ...and CC problems for the whole world
John Wotherspoon | 14 January 2013
I don't agree that Jonathan did the wrong thing. I think his action was inspired and necessary.
Confidence in the share market system must be pretty poor if an unverified media release, not published by the ASX, can undermine it.
But the larger point is that desperate times call for desperate measures. If you don't think global warming is an emergency, then you're not paying attention. We are on track for 4 degrees + increase by the end of this century. In case anyone is in any doubt, there is no adaptation to a 4 degree warmer world. We are talking about massive species extinction, sea level rises of at least 1m (and still going up at an accelerating rate), enormous volatility in the weather system, etc. The threat this causes to the 'share trading system' will so dwarf what Moylan did we will wonder why everyone wasn't with him.
It is also worth noting that he, his friends and the local farming community have already tried every legal avenue, and some 'conventional' civil disobedience, to try to have their concerns heard in vain. The Australian on Saturday had an article noting he is a hero to the local community.
Justin Whelan | 14 January 2013
For goodness and truth's sake,messrs Wotherspoon and Whelan,be more questioning of alarmist journalist George Monbiot's assertions and other general scaremongering about rapid global warming. The latter is natural, gradual and very little to do with anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Read the writings of Australian professorial geologists, Bob Carter and Ian Plimer.
Gerard Tonks | 14 January 2013
I support civil disobedience in this case. The interests of material gain should never trump the interests of health of communities let alone the health of the environment.
graham patison | 15 January 2013
Although Moylan's actions were fraudulent, our current state Government is doing everything in its power to prevent the ordinary citizen from being able to prevent coal & other mining interests from damaging their health & environment. Farmers & the average Australian do not have access to the millions of dollars (often partly provided as subsidies or tax deductions to these mining companies) these companies can utilise to fight challenges in the courts to their proposed or current activities. The mining companies also have huge PR machines & lawyers who try to ensure reports that show the dangers of their activities do not receive mainstream media publicity or cast doubt on the science that shows the damage their activities foist on the populace & the environment.
Mary O'Byrne | 15 January 2013
I think the article lacks balance. It quotes from a study which looked at the Hunter and found no evidence on health issues related to mining there, although the report's commissioners are very anti coal and hardly dispassionate on this. Given that mining is not new to the Hunter, there's a pretty good chance any health issue would have come to the fore if there were one.
It refers to favourable treatment of coal miners. A quick look at the source of this (The Australia Institute) shows their key claimed subsidy to be fuel rebates. Treasury says they are not a subsidy and for good reason. I'll take Treasury's view on economics over TAI anytime.
It also implies that governments and the coal industry are not acting with integrity or in the "public interest" – the latter being a fairly subjective point. They are big calls - and I don't see that Moylan necessarily represents public interest.
After all this negativity, the article concedes that Moylan acted fraudulently and rejected the rule of law.
He should be charged.
On climate change, in time coal will phase out, but for the present it remains an integral part of world energy. Climate change is best addressed on a broad array of fronts – this includes the more efficient use of coal in terms of emissions.
Bill Frilay | 17 January 2013
Just say I happen to think that murdering Green activists is justified because of the danger they present to our society and way of life.
I deeply believe that to be the case, for reasons I consider good.
Would I be acclaimed for acting on those beliefs as "civil disobedience" because I think that Greens are going to burn down churches and ban Catholic schools should they gain power, or because I think that Lee Rhiannon would love to be Australia's Stalin?
This is just another typical leftist cheersquad, who when presented with stupid and wrong conduct by one of their own, try to pretend it is not wrong at all, because one of their own did it.
Adrian | 18 January 2013
Gerard Tonks, oblivious to even the basics of science, refers us to the writings of Ian Plimer and Bob Carter.
That geologist Ian Plimer's writing on the issue of climate science is a confabulation is demonstrated by Ian Enting's exposé, "Ian Plimer's 'Heaven + Earth' — Checking the Claims" (www.complex.org.au/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=91). Far from being a rock-kicker, Enting is a fellow at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Mathematics and Statistics of Complex Systems.
Regarding the writings of Plimer's fellow geologist Bob Carter, Mr Tonk could learn from Uni Melb Climate Science Professor David Karoly, whose 24 June 2011 "Bob Carter's climate counter-consensus is an alternate reality" (http://theconversation.edu.au/bob-carters-climate-counter-consensus-is-an-alternate-reality-1553) clarifies the issue.
23 Apr 2009 ... Ian Plimer's 'Heaven + Earth' — Checking the Claims. Ian G. Enting. Version 2.2.
That said, I applaud Mr Tonks's right to set out his misunderstanding of reality provided he does so under his own name.
David Arthur | 18 January 2013
I enjoyed the article and its focus, am puzzled at the conclusion (or is it an assumption):'Moylan did the wrong thing in undermining public confidence in the share trading system, which in turn underpins the stability of our economy.' Surely if there is one thing that the dotcom boom and the GFC tell us it is to be (a) deeply sceptical of the share market, (b) wary of the role it plays in distorting the 'real' economy,and (c) critical of the competence and motivations of those who purport to regulate and commentate on it. (Or is that three things?) Perhaps Jonathan Moylan did a helpful thing both in his choice of target and his method.
Quentin Dignam | 18 January 2013
Who are the true prophets, exponents of the fossil fuel industry, or those who strive for a clean, green economy? Surely the latter!
When the effects of serious climate change really bite and, for example, increasing desertification of southern Australia causes extreme disasters like we have never known, Moylan's civil disobedience may be widely seen as well justified.
Australian media bias has given climate change deniers far too much oxygen.
I suggest readers read The Climate Institute 2012 Report 'Coming Ready or Not' to understand how ill-prepared this country is with current road and rail infrastructure etc and how heavily impacted we will be by extreme weather events that will inevitably follow.
Australia has an uncoordinated, piece-meal approach to preparing for the impacts of climate change. Serious climate change is coming 'ready or not'!
Climate change deniers and the media that have supported their false arguments, as well as politicians who have procrasinated on taking action to avert serious climate change, are the real villains of our society, not those who do acts of civil disobedience because 'The Law is an Ass!' Climate change is already killing over 150 000 people annually. Moylan is endeavouring to save lives! Are you?

Enrolled Agents in Dallas, Texas
When you are facing tax problems, worrying about which course of action the IRS may take can cause tremendous stress.

An Enrolled Agent in Dallas, Texas can provide you with invaluable assistance as you resolve your tax issues once and for all.

We know the techniques the IRS uses to try to collect, and we understand the types of deals the IRS makes with people who owe back taxes. We can use this extensive insider experience to help develop a customized tax debt relief plan just for you.
Your Customized Tax Debt Relief Plan
Your customized tax debt relief plan will be established specifically to meet your needs. While a tax attorney may use the same procedure in every case to deal with the IRS, an Enrolled Agent will listen carefully to the specifics of your situation and create a plan that is tailored to you. Many self-employed individuals and business owners are simply overwhelmed with tax obligations and may not have any idea where to start when it comes to resolving past tax problems. We can help with:
- Negotiating an Offer in Compromise

Dear EMU Faculty: (Sorry for the length of this message - it is a very important issue which will affect faculty workloads)
I am writing to inform you of a major contract violation committed by Provost Schatzel and Associate Provost Jim Carroll. They have refused to get input from the Faculty Senate on the Academic Affairs budget for FY 2013. They were dismissive when asked why - saying they were not required to ask the faculty. The EMU-AAUP will be taking appropriate action to support the Faculty Senate input process.
Dear Faculty,
With a heavy heart I am sorry to report but it appears that Michigan is about to become a right to work State. We need your help on Tuesday and in the future as we become organized to fight this new legislation. As of yet we are not completely sure what is going to happen.
I realize that this is a last minute request but there will be a union rally in Lansing all day Tuesday organized by the Michigan Labor Table that the MIAAUP is a part. We will be protesting the new "Right to Work" legislation as we believe it will be signed into law on Tuesday by the Governor. Synder needs to hear lots of voices protesting this new law.
