I took this on a walking track by my house, in 2008. I was walking my beloved dog, Bonnie, who died last year. :( She was 15 years old so she had a long life.
The whole reason I went online was to get information for my History internal… I somehow managed to find my way onto Tumblr. The "History Text Book Chapter" is due on Thursday, but as per usual I've not done much. As per usual I'll end up doing it the last minute. Ohhh well, I mostly get E or M marks. So I'm not too worried.
Social Classes from 1558-1667 doesn't sound to appealing at the moment. But I will persever, time to get to work!

This following journal is a repost, I blogged this just after my first concert. The Academy Is…, Cobra Starship and Panic at the Disco, all at once! Excuse the writing it was a long time ago. It remains to be one of the greatest nights of my life. I travelled half way across the country to see them, I was and still am massive fans of them all. Music is eternal.
On Saturday I went to the Panic at the Disco, The Academy Is…, Cobra Starship and A Kiss Goodbye concert!
I was in the mosh pit! It was INSANE! I almost died… of dehydration, if anyone was getting crushed I was the ones crushing them. I think I was a bit too excited to see William Beckett
I got a total of 2 photos, yes 2! 'Cause my friend said the security was really tight, but it was so slack! So I don't like her at the moment. I would have got some awesome ones too.
Also, my mum said not to bring my CDs to the concert, but half way though Gabe had a signing and they wouldn't bring my CDs and Gabe was right there. It was so sad.
Gabe swears too much! It was so awesome!
Gabe and William staged dived.
The Butcher's druming reminded my friend of that gorilla in the Cadbury ad.
Panic had a bubble blowing machine.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — State pollution control officials say Target Corp. has paid a $27,500 fine for air quality violations at two facilities in Minnesota.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency says the Minneapolis-based retail giant also took corrective action after being alerted that diesel generators in Brooklyn Park and Elk River were producing excessive air emissions.
The agency determined that Target failed to obtain state air emissions permits for the generators, which were installed to help provide electricity at Target's Brooklyn Park office campus and Elk River data center.
The Star Tribune (http://strib.mn/1nsDkRY ) reports technical miscalculations caused the company to underestimate nitrogen oxide emissions. Nitrogen oxide can cause respiratory problems and contribute to acid rain.
Target brought the compliance problems to the agency's attention. Under the agreement, the company did not acknowledge any wrongdoing.

few mistakes and made plenty of big plays. Matt Ryan played with un-sophomore like execution, connecting fluidly with newcomer Tony Gonzalez. The bottom-line, the Miami Dolphins season has just begin. It didn't start with a win, and the loss was
pretty, but the future is unwritten.
Fantasticfins.com was there…check out our pictures here.]]>
Hey guys just thought I tell you what I think about this past weekends Rookie Camp. I would have to say we've got a lot of talent on the roster right now. If these guys workout on the field like they read on paper then we could see some competition for the 53 man roster. I think we had a pretty successful draft as well as picking up some un-drafted free agents.
So the cornerback position was a glaring problem coming into the off season. We lost Andre Goodman who had a great 08 season, and we had Yeremiah Bell going into free agency. Lucky we were able to keep Bell around,
and also add Eric Green from the Arizona Cardinals. We also added former Raider and NY Giant Gibril Wilson, who has had several solid seasons at safety. So that brings us to the 09 draft, were we picked 2 cornerbacks in the first two rounds. After the Rookie mini camp Sean Smith (31) and Vontae Davis (24) are solid defensive backs with a bright future. Both of these guys have size and
speed, and are aggressive at the cornerback position. They also came away with a few picks this weekend, and Vontae had his first lecture from Sparano because he put 2 guys down on the field with contact. Keep in mind this was a no contact and no pads camp. I also just seen where Vontae has a tattoo on his forearm that reads," Greatness", which is not to be seen as arrogance, but as confidence. The cornerback position is going to need all the confidence we can get this year, with the AFC east teams having receivers like Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Lee Evans, Wes Welker, as well as 09 opponents receivers like Andre Johnson, Hines Ward, Reggie Wayne, and Steve Smith. WOW, that's worst then I thought.
Also another area where we need depth and possibly a big player was our own wide receiver position. We added Patrick Turner (84), Brian Hartline (82), and a few un-drafted free agents Brennan Marion (14), and Chris Williams (87). Patrick Turner who is listed as 6'5 looked like a beast out there on the field showed some very nice skills as well as nice hands. When he was asked how he looked to help the team this coming year, he said he would love to be the go-to red zone play maker. I know that's what all the Dolphins have been looking for. Brian Hartline looks to be more of a slot receiver to give Devone Bess some competition.
Free agent Brennan Marion is a very interesting story. Most of you may have heard the story about this kid, but if not I want to tell you about him. So this guy came from having no home during his first 3 months of his sophomore season in college to now playing on a NFL practice field. He actually spent nights in the De
Anza Junior college locker room, bathroom floor, team bus, as well as the press box. Also didn't have a pillow to sleep on so he used his arms or paper towels. This wasn't the first obstacle in his life either; he was raised by a single mother and was in a different school every year since sixth grade. During junior college he had to work construction, wash cars, cleaning classrooms to pay rent. The food he lived on was also challenging and consisted of Gatorade pills, and free chips and cookies from the local 7-11 store. After his offensive coordinator found out about this he allowed Brennan to stay with him and his family rent free with the only circumstance being he had to get his college degree and give someone else a opportunity when he could. Now here's what's interesting about this kid. He is 5'11, ran a 4.3 40, had 3 consecutive 1,000 yd season, and also averaged 31.9 yards per catch. Now that's
just crazy considering the things he's dealt with in his life. Recently he suffered a tear in his right ACL, which hurt the possibility of being a high draft pick. So I consider this guy a very strong and determined player. I look forward to seeing what Brennan can bring to the Miami Dolphins.
Another position we all want to know about is quarterback. Where 2nd round draft pick Pat White was seen taking snaps this
weekend. After day one Pat admitted he had a rough day and that he would catch on. During day 2 he completed 2 long passes down field, one of them to Patrick Turner. So I'm curious to see what the future of the Miami Dolphins play book will look like this year. So how much Wildcat can we expect to see, and will we see more of a spread offense? On a side note, yes Pat does wear gloves on both hands, and he said Kurt Warner did it so can he. He said he has smaller hands and the gloves give him more grip on the ball. I'm counting the days till our first preseason game, so I can see Mr. White under center.
Other good news out of camp is LB Cameron Wake had a very impressive camp. Coach Sparano said he was very excited to see Wake on the field and that he showed some good quickness on the edge. This guy also looks like a beast out there. On another note I've heard a lot of people lately talking about how crazy the Dolphins are because we didn't go after a defensive tackle in this years draft. Well I think the Dolphins had a plan coming out of the draft and that plans name was possibly Lewis Ellis. This guy is out of university of Shaw. He's listed as 6'2 and 320. Coach Sparano said he had a good camp and shows very quick feet and very strong. Coach also pointed out that he does need some work with technique because at Shaw he was able to muscle people around and of course in the NFL you're not always going to be able to do that. Ellis said he had at least 6 teams calling him after the draft and he did a little research and decided on Miami because of our DT needs.
So finally after 3 days and 4 workouts I'm excited to see what the future is for our 09 draft picks.]]>
Well Dolfans we had another solid draft that we've come to expect from the new leadership in Davie. Say to say we didn't make
any traders for Bolin or Edwards. But we did make some nice moves for some receivers.
First pick in day 2 was for Patrick Turner, WR out of Southern California. This kid is huge, 6'5 and 223
lbs. About everything I've read he's being compared to Keyshawn Johnson. If you watch his highlight video's on the net you'll see he's a receiver that likes to make a huge impact on the field. Every video clip is almost touchdowns, which is what we need! Next receiver was a possible Wes Welker replacement with Brian Hartline, WR out of Ohio State. This guy also is 6'2 and 195 lbs. Brian played with Ginn in OS, and also was high rivals with Ginn during their high school years, which should make for some nice competition between them. With the 5th round pick we picked up another tight end from Monmouth, John Nalbone. He too is 6'4 and 251 lbs. John is said to be a great receiver as well as blocker. We also had another 5th round pick and we picked up Chris Clemmons, Safety from Clemson. With the current roster we have he must have been added to give more depth and also to add competition with cornerbacks and safeties. He definitely has a knack for finding the ball. There are several nice highlight videos on the net of him. With the last 2 picks of the draft we went for more depth in the Tackle and Linebacker positions. We added Andrew Gardner, OT from Georgia Tech which is 6'7 and 304 lbs, and also J.D. Folsom, LB from Weber State who is also 6'3 and 230 lbs. Both are solid position players who didn't get a lot of attention coming out of college but Jeff Ireland said both have great up side.
We had one more pick in the draft but we did trade that one to the Chiefs for a pick in next year's draft. If you see one thing that was definitely noticeable in this draft is Parcells and team is looking for BIG and STRONG players, something that Tony made very clear last year.
So what's next you may ask? Well the Dolphin leadership is already signing draft free agents. Sunday after the draft we sign Jared Bronson, TE from Central Washington. Yes if you're counting that's now 5 total tight ends, but check this out. This kid is also 6'4 and 255 lbs, and during his senior year missed 5 games and still finished with 502 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns. Sounds like this kid might be able to play a little. Also we've signed Oregon Ducks offensive lineman Mark Lewis. In college he started for
the Ducks at guard his last 2 years, and has some experience at center also. So don't think we're done yet, because their more to come. Don't forget Devone Bess came from the undrafted free agents.
So one last thing that's on my mind is we didn't really address the defensive line to much. So that means we couple possibly looking to bring Jason Taylor back. He has to be feeling like he's chances of coming back got better after the draft. Jeff Ireland did admit that they needed to make a decision about him soon. I'm interested to see what a healthy Taylor and Porter could do to the quarterbacks in the league. Also this draft shows that the team's leadership has a lot of confidence in Cameron Wake ability. I really can't wait to see what this young man can do. He's a beast and has really quick feet. So the next step toward a champion it the rookie mini camp. Talk to you soon,]]>

"It's always a sweet feeling to be a champion," the Dolphins quarterback said after beating the New York Jets 24-17 on Sunday. "That's what we are: AFC East champions. It's a great feeling. This organization has been unbelievable. They accepted me from the get-go. This has been an unbelievable ride."
And an improbable one at that.
Pennington, cut in the offseason by the Jets to make room for an
aging Brett Favre, threw two touchdown passes against his former team and helped the Dolphins (11-5) complete a remarkable turnaround.
"It's not a revenge factor," Pennington said. "This week, being the 17th week, it was strictly focused on winning the championship, knowing that we controlled our own destiny. It just so happened that it had to come through New York. That's the only way fate would have it."
A year after going 1-15, the Dolphins joined the 1999 Indianapolis Colts as the only teams
in NFL history to make 10-game improvements. Miami, under first-year coach Tony Sparano, has won five straight and nine of 10 in making the playoffs for the first time in seven seasons and winning its first AFC East title since 2000.
"I don't think words can describe it," running back Ronnie Brown said. "Earlier in the season, we could only imagine being in this situation."

And now, Miami (11-5) will host Baltimore (11-5) in the first round next Sunday.
"Around this time last year, we were going home with no return," receiver Ted Ginn Jr. said.
Meanwhile, Favre and the Jets (9-7) were left to wonder what happened to them — and what's
to come.
After an 8-3 start and being mentioned
as possible Super Bowl contenders with an NFL-high seven Pro Bowl selections, New York went into a tailspin by losing four of its last five — with Favre looking every bit a 39-year-old quarterback.
"The hardest part
is the finality of it," Favre said, "especially when you expect to go on."

Miami Dolphins from worst to first? Nobody believed it could happen and some still don't. Bottom line is the Miami Dolphins are three wins away from going worst to first. We are winners of six out of our last seven games and our next two opponents combine for less wins than we have, and the last of our remaining opponents has lost two straight games. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not telling you to start looking for hotel room availabilities in Tampa Bay but a Miami Dolphins playoff game is becoming more and more realistic every week.
It would be easy to start breaking down why we are in this situation, but we all know why. Better coaching, better QB play, consistent O-line play, Wildcat, the list can go on. Instead let's look at the next week and what needs to take place to keep our first playoff spot in 7 seasons secure.
The 49ers present an interesting challenge, they've won their last two games and their confidence is as high as it's been all year. Frank Gore is almost certainly going to go over the 1000yd mark if he plays (ankle) and undrafted Quarterback Shaun Hill has a QB rating of 95.5. Still the 49ers are very vulnerable defensively, giving up over 25pts and 330yds a game. The Dolphins must focus on getting the ground game working, to open up the pass. Nate Clements was hurt last
week but Favre couldn't capitalize because
the running game for the Jets was allowing the 49ers to sit back on defense. Miami must run early and often and wear down the D-Line of the Niners, giving Pennington more time to throw and find Ginn, and Bess down the field. I'd love to see us test the 49ers secondary a little bit as well, maybe throwing a few bombs downfield to Ginn and give him a chance to use his speed. Defensively we MUST control Frank Gore. Our defense hasn't allowed a TD in almost 8 quarters and in order for that to continue keeping Gore under 75yds is imperative. Our secondary is over achieving and keeping Steven Jackson and Marshawn Lynch under 100yds is the reason we have been doing so well. If you look at the last game we got beat, the Patriots threw for over 400yds, no coincidence that they also ran for over 100. It's pretty cut and dry; we hold down the opponents running game, our secondary plays better, we win. The last aspect to note in this game is special teams. The 49ers are in the top-10 in both KR and PR and we have given up 2 PR touchdowns this year. We can control them defensively but if we allow them to make plays in the special teams, we WILL
NOT win this game. Allen Rossum is a dynamic returner and if we fall asleep, he

Now, I have no trouble speaking to foreigners, IF THEY CAN DO THEIR JOB.Just called a call centre, having found a 30 year old passbook for a well known Building Society. "I can't find anything on our system, so I can't help you". No dear, the book is over 30 years old (and hand written), so the account number won't be on your new fangled computer system. Which part of old/lost accounts didn't you understand?Don't think I can be arsed digging out a string of marriage/divorce papers and carting them back to Blighty just for £18!

Not sure if this is any use to you.?
Ally, do you want my reply in triplicate????
Thanks for that. I actually have the book itself, with the account number etc on it. It's just that the numbers are out of sync with the computer era!I'll have to sort it out in March when I'm over. I'm hoping my old passports will be enough to prove that I am me!Oooooh. I've just done a weird, compound interest thing on the web, and my £18 could be worth £35. That's got to be worth looking into. I could buy a few litres of fuel for that.
daughters pass book last week and it had 155.00 in it, and interest not added since 99.
Wonder what poultry interest would be on that??
paltry as in small rather than poultry as in chicken

The valley's light rail is used by thousands every day to get to work and back. It's also a favorite way to get home for hundreds of Diamondbacks and Suns fans after a game in downtown Phoenix.
But it's also a place where tempers can flare, as one Phoenix man found out on his ride home.
"Extremely crowded train because everyone wanted to go to the Suns game and get back to the east valley," says Robinson Crawford.
We spoke to Robinson Crawford recently about his experience on the light rail after a Suns game three years ago – and about the video he's posted on YouTube that's had a lot of views.
"It's close to 30,000 which I did not expect."
On the ride home that night, Robinson noticed something strange going on.
"I noticed tension coming from not very far 10 feet in front of me."
So he got out his cell phone and started recording.
"Blackberry Torch was my cell phone so it's not a great video."
But what he recorded was amazing. Watch as the man on the left with a backwards cap suddenly punches the taller man on the right, in the white shirt.
"The puncher gets restrained everyone is trying to get involved."
After the punch is thrown its chaos on the light rail.
"She's yelling that people are pulling her hair.. if you look as far back as you can see on the train everyone is concerned trying to tell what's going on. It could have been an extremely dangerous situation, which is why you see a couple of guys in the background here, those were the most uncomfortable guys on the train."
The puncher was "encouraged" by the crowd to leave the light rail at the next stop.
"He didn't want to get off, it wasn't his stop yet. The next. The whole crowd shouted for him to get off and he angrily exited the train and everyone clapped.. there he goes yeah and the crowd goes wild."
At no time did Crawford see a police officer. And no one was arrested.
"I would like to see more supervision certainly."
"We have a very safe and secure system and we're really proud of that," says Gardner Tabon, Chief Safety and Security Officer for Valley Metro Light Rail.
He says the system is always staffed with ten uniformed security officers – and apparently a few undercover officers as well.
"Let me tell you what we do have, we have ten individuals that are in our system at any time, we also have partnerships with federal and local law enforcement that assist us in a visible and invisible way if you will."
Here's another video shot with someone's cellular phone and posted on YouTube. You can see two young men, one in a checkered shirt, one in a red shirt, beating up another man.
But look -- another train rider pulls a sword. He apparently uses it to break up the fight, and chase the men who were fighting off the train.
It didn't take much convincing. But it's not a tactic transit authorities recommend.
"We saw that in a couple of the videos people got involved and ejected the troublemakers?" we asked.
"We advise all of our customers to please not put their hands on other customers and to call 911 -- move to another part of the car or to notify the train operator through the intercom system that's located within the rail car itself," says Tabon.
In other words, no sword play, please.
"We do not advise any of our passengers to take actions into their own hands."
A frequent light rail rider, Robinson Crawford, also has some words of advice:
"I wouldn't want my sister or mother traveling alone at night by any means."
In all fairness, the record does show there isn't a lot of this going on.
Police say by any measurement the light rail is safe to use -- however police say that after a sporting event, fans can certainly get out of control as they can in any sports bar beer brawl.

Great shoe!
"The only thing I'd change is that I wish it had been a more mustardy yellow. It's a tad too light and pastel for my taste. However, the fit is almost perfect and the shoe in itself, its shape, length and height, is beautiful."

Many components must come together to make the correct pesticide application. Brad Beutke, Crop-Tech Consulting, explains how critical rates, nozzle selection and pressure boom heights play in.
During Beutke's session at the Illinois Corn College, attendees saw firsthand how these components affect corn and soybeans. With the use of water-sensitive paper, they were able to measure how different types of nozzles and speeds affect pesticide coverage.

PROVIDENCE, RI - Red Sox fans can't wait to watch the World Series on TV, but would rather sit in Fenway seats.
Red Sox fan, Daniel Hurley said, "Loved to go; money's going to have me staying home watching it, maybe going to a friends' house, something like that."
If the price was right, they'd be there, but a warning from the Better Business Bureau urges consumers to take precaution.
Every year the BBB finds at least a dozen fraud cases during major sporting events.
Pawtucket attorney, Chris Lefebvre showed us what to look for when purchasing World Series tickets online.
We looked through about a dozen questionable ads on Craigslist advertising World Series tickets; some may very well be legitimate.
"But still, $800 dollars. Do I want to pay $800 to a stranger?" said Lefebre.
Lefebre suggests avoiding the middle man and use the official MLB ticket website.
"I'd probably air on the side of caution and pay a little extra to make sure that when the game starts, that I'm sitting in my seats and not in the back seat of my car lamenting," said Lefebre.
Here are a few tips provided by the BBB:
Start your search with trust. Know the name, address and phone number of the business you are considering making a purchase from. Check out the business at bbb.org to make sure that it is legitimate.
- Be sure to get the details in writing; this includes the price of the tickets, location of the seats, cancellation policies and any other important information. If booking a hotel room, check the hotel's website or a well-known travel site to be sure the hotel is legitimate.
- If you are uncertain about an online deal for a hotel room, call the hotel directly to verify.
- Use a credit card or PayPal when making a purchase online as the charges are more secure and easiest to dispute if a problem arises.
- When buying tickets online, ask for a picture of the tickets and verify them using the venue's seating chart. Get the seller's real name and contact information.
- If you buy from an online seller, be sure you take the necessary precautions to ensure you are not being sold fraudulent tickets.
"Anyone who's been a victim of the scams are usually, they never see their money back," said Lefebre.

NEW YORK (AP) - A lawyer for a former Goldman Sachs vice president has told a New York jury that the government has wrongfully accused his client of violating securities laws.
Attorney John Coffey said during closing arguments Tuesday that the Securities and Exchange Commission failed to meet its burden at the civil trial.
SEC lawyer Matthew Martens argued earlier that Fabrice Tourre relied on "lies and trickery and deceit" to dupe investors about a package of securities based on subprime mortgages.
The SEC says Tourre knew the securities were doomed to fail. But Coffey says all similarly packaged securities failed with the housing market after 2007.
Tourre testified he didn't intend to mislead anyone.
Goldman Sachs settled its end of the case, agreeing to pay $550 million.

Not the first, but certainly most recent: the New York Times' T-magazine posted a new lifestyle article on the growing Kombucha trend.
What is Kombucha? Well, it is a strange fermented, effervescent tea concoction made through a process of 1) adding bacteria and sugar to black or green tea and 2) letting the mix ferment for several weeks.
Once before, in the mid 1990′s, Kombucha gathered a following heavy with do-it-yourself types who made the tea themselves. (Not the safest thing, since there is always a risk of potential contamination if not done under sterile conditions.)
This new craze, however, is unparalleled. Just last year, market researchers reported that sales of Kombucha and other "functional" juice drinks — intended to not just taste good but also provide drinkers with an impressive range of health benefits — totaled $295 million. Primarily due to the probiotic live culture that grows when the tea is fermented, benefits ascribed to Kombucha include: increased function of the immune system, better digestion and diet control, more energy, and healthier-looking skin.
Does it work? In full disclosure, I love Kombucha and would encourage curious individuals to test it out. For a good six months, I drank the tea every day…and didn't get a cold or the flu once during that period. And while I didn't suddenly feel any fantastic anti-aging effects of this elixir of life, I did think my skin looked more vibrant; and I absolutely felt that I could eat more and look thinner. Although I came to like the taste, like many Kombucha drinkers, I didn't start out liking the drink for its taste. Through and through, I drank it for the effects I felt.
If you're thinking about trying it, I would recommend trying it once to test how you feel. Due to the various unknowns, it's good to be cautious: in short, there has yet to be any major human trial of Kombucha reported in any major medical journal. More, the newest story, reported this past June) highlighted that the FDA pulled Kombucha from stores due to its belief that the drink may contain higher levels of alcohol than reported.
If you find that you like it and are itching for more, try different flavors and brands: the most popular being GT's Synergy drinks, which combine Kombucha with fruit flavors. My favorites were Raspberry Rush, Cosmic Cranberry, and the Original unflavored version. Word to the wise: be careful not to shake the bottle since it's effervescent! I shook my first one to get the mixture going and it exploded all over my kitchen. Otherwise, enjoy!

How low can we go?
It might just be a lunar thing. Or at least, a mid bleakwinter association. But I'm feeling low.
Events too have conspired to contribute to my mood.
I have purposely avoided the broadcast media coverage of the horrific events at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown in Connecticut. I could not bear the way microphones were being thrust into people's faces, especially traumatised children's faces, seeking the instant reaction and the right package to keep the news rolling. On an issue like this – in my view – the printed press beats broadcast hands down. Yes, there's some sensationalist front page coverage but also distant, respectful and considered analysis and presentation of the facts.
Which we must all force ourselves to read and to debate. In a timely move, Kenny MacAskill, the Justice Secretary, has announced moves to curb the availability of air guns by licensing him. It will take a brave vested interest in light of events in Newtown to oppose this move.
Alongside the debate on gun ownership, surely we must also consider more fully the role violence plays in our lives. It has an all pervasive presence in the world of entertainment. At this point, I admit that both my boys had plastic replica gun tat. The wee chicklet in fact has an arsenal. I temper my hypocrisy by only buying him wooden stuff from museums – viking axes, shields and the like. And gave up trying to prevent the inlaws and outlaws buying blasters and the like. But it's there all the same. And I vainly temper my hypocrisy and guilt by encouraging other influences in his life.
And when he and his pals are not on recces out in the garden and nearby streets, he can be found setting out huge war scenarios using plastic soldiers and equipment, some of it even inherited from his brother. There is a real joy to be had in watching him at this kind of play. It is meticulous. It takes over the house. I find soldiers in position in plants, on the stairs, perched on the TV, hiding below books and on top of speakers. There is very little role play of actual fighting, it is all in the set up and the planning. But still….
Even if I banned and binned the lot, I'd struggle to keep him free from violence. Not when even the age-appropriate video games involve bashing up opponents and beating them by fair means and foul. When many of the programmes on children's TV involve humiliating friends at schools or cheating on your team mates. And when movies, even at PG level, offer wrecks, chases and action, albeit often of the animated type.
We have created a childhood for our children that is brimful of adrenalin, which encourages a dog eat dog mentality, with little room for kindness, empathy and inclusion. And all of it has to have as much bearing on the adults they become as the availability of weapons and indeed, the influence (benign or otherwise) of adults.
What kind of world do we want to live in? What do we want to gift our children? And what role does Scotland want to play in any or all of it?
These are the kind of questions that should surely be at the heart of the national conversation on our constitutional future.
Yet, last night, when all over the world, people were using twitter and other social media to show solidarity with the pain and suffering of bereaved families and a bewildered small, rural American community, there were the Yes and No camp frontlines. So far buried in their own navel that even a tragedy of this size cannot tempt them from their self-absorption.
Who cares who said what to whom about the EU frankly. Who cares if the Depute First Minister was on the back foot or the front foot on this issue. The battle for our hearts and minds is currently being fought out as a point scoring exercise. It is like playing a game of Scrabble with all contestants tallying their double and triple word scores at the end of the day and determining from the total whether they need to enter the fray the next day by thrusting or parrying.
The current tactics of both camps are built around the worst kind of politics where name-calling, petty insults, finger-pointing, belittling and verbal spats are seen as an acceptable way to conduct the discourse. It is appalling.
And for some to suggest that just because 20 children and several adults lost their lives in the worst way imaginable means nothing to Scotland and that it's fine to carry on as before turns my stomach. Didn't Scotland welcome the sympathy and tenderness expressed from some very surprising places when the terrible events of Dunblane occurred in 1996? The eyes of the world were on us then too and the global community was keen to offer a handshake and a hug of comfort when we were struggling to come to terms with what had happened in our midst. At the very least, we should return the favour. Or have we lost all ability to work out what matters in our lives and in others?
It would appear that winning the game and the prize has become the all for too many protagonists in both camps. And the purpose of what constitutional change might be about has been cast aside. And if this is what people are like now, if this is as low as we can go now, what hope is there for the future?
This inability of Scotland's body politic to treat politics as more than a game was exposed in cruel reality with the publication of an Audit Scotland report this week that showed despite record investment in health and in the face of commitments – by both our major parties – in recent years to tackle health inequalities, we have failed. We have and are failing utterly to turn around the lives of those in our midst who need our support and action most.
And if we think things are low now for the most vulnerable in our society, they are about to get a whole lot lower when welfare reform comes to town and its measures start to bite. Not just the poorest, but the wee bit poor, the nearly poor and thought they were no longer poor too. Do our politicians have any answers or solutions to offer? Who knows, for anyone who does cannot be heard above the din and clatter of our daily political and constitutional diet.
There are good people out there working away at crafting policy and practice which aims to change people's lives. But they are scarcely noticed. And they are seen as an irritant and an inconvenient aside to the main course of politics served up daily by our leaders and their followers.
A diet which does not care whether children have been gunned to death. Which does not pause to consider whether it might happen here – again. Which ignores the big issues which affect the ability of our people to live decent lives. And which prefers to use the misery of others only when it suits their own arguments.
It is politics of the lowest form. And I fear it will get lower still.

To be honest I find the public outpouring of grief when these kinds of atrocities take place a bit stomach churning. It is too intrusive and presumptuous in a way. I know that maybe sounds horrible and it is probably the media that get to me more than normal peoples reaction. But it's all incredibly shallow. Let's share the grief for five minutes before moving into the sport.
Plus kids get killed every day. Do we only care when it happens in small town America and is broadcast 24/7? Do these kids matter more because they are white and American and speak the same language as us?
It's all so pointless anyway. Americans are not going to change their gun laws because of what we think. If our opinions mattered and could infuence things gun control would have been brought in years ago.
We are but spectators in this tragedy and to be honest is it not more decent to look away? This is for Americans to resolve after all.
Everything has been brought into 'celebrity' status particularly in the media on politicians and on their own interviewers, if one can call them that. Honesty is missing in most walks of life at the top as self endearment is far more important in their own little bubbles.
How many children have lost their lives in the Middle East, Asia etc in the past year? Past ten years? WE, our allies bomb schools. Yes we, as part of NATO do. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/19/AR2007061901898.html
"There might have been as many as 50 people in the school at the time of the blast, including children."
Why haven't we put out thoughts to that? Why don't we all stop what we are doing and sort that out rather than look the other way or worse, rubber-neck the horror?
A young man with a gun enters a school and shoots American kids, their teachers dead in a country where apparently no war has been declared. We stop, watch in horror.
A soldier sitting many hundreds or thousands of miles away puts on his uniform, his office kit, takes a seat before a computer screen and presses a button firing bombs from a drone hovering over a building full of people, Pakistani people in Pakistan. Adults, children die in their school, in a country where no war has apparently been declared. We carry on our lives as though nothing at all happened. No one stops to watch, few if any object it seems.
What are we doing? Who are we? What are we? What are we saying? What are we doing?
Agreed. We need one of the parties, or perhaps some non-partisans if the parties can't manage it, to take a lead. Rational, logical debate where participants seek to learn from each other and reach consensus should not be an unrealistic expectation.
A post that eloquently captures my own feelings on the last 24 hours too, influenced I'm sure by the fact that I'm also a parent of a young boy. The only other perspective I'd offer is one outside the safe litttle bubble we inhabit.
Less than a couple of hours flight from here there are communities that experience this level of violence, and worse, on a daily basis. And they themselves are trying to leead their way out of it, a process that some of us are hugely privileged to try annd support.
Here's an example – eevenn in our darkest moments we shouldn't forget that for some this sort of horror is just part of life. http://www.chrisunderwoodsblog.com/2012/12/making-new-deal-work-view-from-ground.html

Responsive Website or App: Which do you Need for Your Mobile Strategy?
By smallbiztrends, Guest Blogger
Published: December 6, 2013
The fact that half of mobile phone users now use mobile as their primary source for Internet means that more small businesses need to up the ante. Not all websites render well on small mobile devices, so it may be worth the investment to get more mobile-friendly.
But the question is: should you have a responsive website or a mobile app?
Let's look at your business needs to figure out the answer.
First, is Your Site Mobile Friendly?
Here's an easy way to find out: use Google's Multi-Screen Resources tool. Enter your URL and get a free report making suggestions for how your site could be optimized for mobile. Some of the suggestions might be simple enough to fix without investing more.
If you use Flash, that will probably be one of the pain points that comes up. Not all mobile devices — especially Apple — are equipped to display Flash graphics.
The Difference Between Responsive Websites and Mobile Apps
A responsive website — you guessed it — responds to the medium it is displayed on. For example, when your site is viewed on a desktop, it might display three columns and a sidebar. But if it's viewed on a tablet or mobile phone, you might see a simplified version with fewer columns and easier navigation.
It can be difficult to navigate or click links on a static site when used on a mobile device. Sites can appear cluttered, which may send people away from your site.
Mobile apps, on the other hand, are downloaded with a specific purpose. They're best for brands that have strong customer loyalty (people expect to access the information on the app enough to actually download it). The app might provide your store locations, special offers, or allow users to access their account information.
Next, What's Your Goal?
If you simply want people to be able to visit your site and have it look user-friendly, a responsive website is the best way to go. If people don't necessarily benefit from visiting your site while they're out and about (you don't have a physical location they need information about or coupons for), simply having a site optimized for mobile is your best and easiest option.
On the other hand, if you're trying to drive users to a physical store or location, an app might do so. Given the fact that 80% of the time on mobile is spent using apps, hesitate before you assume you don't need one. It really comes down to the value you offer in the application. A map to your nearest location might not be useful, since most users use a Map application, but an app that notifies users when they're close to a store and offers a special coupon might be.
Also if you have a platform where your customers log in to make transactions or you sell products on your website, an app can provide a secure place to do so. Many mobile users may feel more safe entering their login information through an app than through a mobile website.
Why You Must Make a Change
Whichever option you select, it's important that you take measures to improve the functionality of your website. Here's why:
- Slow loading times will cause mobile users to leave your site
- A page that doesn't render well won't encourage people to sell
- More, not fewer, people will use smartphones in the future
- The more ways you have to connect with potential customers, the better your conversion
As a business owner, you've got to do everything you can to make the trail from your site to a sale as easy as possible. Responsive web design and mobile apps provide just one more way to bring leads into the funnel.

The time is changing and it's important for the web developers to adapt it with time...Mobile industry is booming and so does the need for responsive sites...I somewhere read that very soon worldwide mobile (smartphone) users will surpass PC users...so Responsive design is the need of the time..

katarinax1 | 6/24/2014 - 9:44 am
first main important for any site is that it should be fast and friendly towards mobile devices.
leesin | 6/24/2014 - 9:18 am
both the web and the smatphone usage is changing..is about time we have proper responsive websites and there correcponding mobile app.
blisscrank | 6/24/2014 - 8:12 am
they are both needed equally responsive is a must these days ..speed factor is imp for serp ranking
karamail11 | 5/5/2014 - 12:29 pm
I think now the responsive site on a mobile phone is the best. Because most people begin to use mobile instead of a computer.
andrea14344 | 5/10/2014 - 1:08 pm
I agree with you. It is easy for people to use mobile than computer.
Jean Paul | 2/26/2014 - 9:17 pm
This is a great introduction to both formats, but anymore, a mobile optimized website (one with responsive design) is essential and a mobile app is really the next step. Mobile apps can provide a lot more when it comes to functionality that a mobile website cannot. These are generally referred to as 'native' features and include phone specific features such as usage of the GPS, camera, dialer, and more. Mobile websites are unable to access these features, many of which can be particularly useful for many businesses. Another very helpful feature are pushnotes, which can alert customers of specials, events, or other urgent information. Really, mobile apps are a great engagement and retention tool to build customer loyalty.
wallyworld90 | 2/25/2014 - 8:40 am
Responsive web design is the way to go as your website automatically configures to the size of the device that someone uses. It doesn't get much easier than that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCWWCvu5tqI
Steven J Wilson | 2/9/2014 - 6:54 pm
Hi Anita, I think you can get your answer based on two things, design and cost. With a responsive design, if your site as a lot going on the side bar, optin pop ups etc this can leave mobile users with an unpleasant experience. An app can be fairly cheap to free depending on the service you use. Wordpress.org makes making a site mobile friendly easy. Personally, I never download apps for sites I rarely use and would recommend having a mobile friendly site in place instead of trying to make visitors download another app.
Leesa John | 1/21/2014 - 11:37 am
The discussion of Mobile web apps vs mobile apps is resurging especially with the latest advancements in the 'responsive design' front. Mobile web apps (mobile websites) is a convenient option for quickly establishing a mobile presence. The development cost and time to market is way lower compared to mobile apps. Since it is accessed via mobile browsers, they are platform independent. A lot of our customers are also interested in responsive websites recently. Here is a blog I have written on Mobile web apps: [This post was edited to remove a link.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- All-Star pitcher Matt Harrison and the Texas Rangers agreed Wednesday night to a $55 million, five-year contract, according to a person familiar with the deal.
The contract includes an option for a sixth season, the person said, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team hadn't announced the agreement.
Several media outlets had reported the deal earlier, all citing anonymous sources.
Harrison was 18-11 with a 3.29 ERA in 32 starts last year for Texas and is 32-20 while tossing 399 innings over the past two seasons. He was the Rangers' starting pitcher for Game 7 of the 2011 World Series, which they lost to St. Louis.
The deal, which runs through 2017, came a day after the 27-year-old lefty filed for salary arbitration. Harrison could have become a free agent following the 2014 season. If he reaches a certain number of innings, the 2018 season could become guaranteed.
Texas acquired Harrison from Atlanta in July 2007 in a multiplayer deal that included shortstop Elvis Andrus coming to the Rangers and Mark Teixeira going to the Braves.
Harrison has a 48-30 record in 126 career games, all with the Rangers over the past five years.
With Harrison under contract, the Rangers have three of their starting pitchers signed for at least four more seasons.
Japanese ace Yu Darvish last year signed a $56 million, six-year deal with the Rangers and then won 16 games as a major league rookie. There are provisions in his contract that could allow him to become a free agent after the 2016 season.
Texas has left-hander Derek Holland under contract through at least 2016, with club options for two more years after that.

Louisville, Ky. (WHAS11)- Friends and family came together Tuesday to remember the man shot to death playing kickball last year.
It has been exactly one year since Antonio Anderson was killed by a stray bullet at Shawnee Park.
His family says he was an innocent victim.
Tuesday night Anderson's friends and family gathered at Shawnee Park to pray, and share memories of his life.
"I never could have imagined carrying a child for nine months and not being a part of him. But these 365 days have been a long, trying year for me and painful, but his spirit is what keeps me alive and keeps me going," said the mother of the victim Marian Dean.
Three men and a teenager have been arrested in connection with the case.
They have yet to go to trial.
