Why China don't want to go with Philippines to International Court?
The Philippines and China have been in a standoff at the Scarborough Shoal since April 10, when Chinese fishing vessels were found there carrying corals, giant clams and live sharks as well as other endangered marine species.
BRP Gregorio del Pilar, the Philippine Navys largest and newest ship, proceeded to the area and was set to arrest the Chinese fishing vessels when two maritime surveillance vessels of China blocked the path of the Gregorio del Pilar.
China can't accept the legitimacy of an international court. It would open the door to all sorts of prosecutions of China's wrongdoings.

Notable nations not part of the ICC are: China, United States, India, Israel, Indonesia.
There are several others which have signed the Rome Statue, but not ratified it such as Russia
If we're talking about the ICC, then there's not much controversy here. Why would a nation submit to a court it is not a part of?
Now if we are talking about the ICJ (Not sure which "International Cout" is the subject here). All UN members are part of it, althought the United States only accepts the courts jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis (ever since they lost the Nicaragua vs US case which rules against the US covert war in Nicaragua). So good luck stopping the US in its present covert wars. Much like the US, I suspect China would probably ignore jurisdiction when the Court finds in favor of the opposing party.
Long story short: These courts are generally useless.

Based on applicable international maritime and related laws, China knows that if she petitions the United Nations International Court of Justice or the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea to affirm her dubious claim that she owns everything in the South China Sea aka West Philippine Sea her chances of winning are about as likely as having a snowfall in the Sahara desert.
Both Courts have proper jurisdictions to settle sovereignty issues between nations regarding marine territories such as those concerning the Spratly and Paracel islands.
Lets imagine what most likely would happen if China does take her case to the International Court of Justice and the representative of China lets call him Mr. Lee is before the Court headed by the Presiding Judge. Consider this scenario:
Judge: Please inform this Court of the basis for your claim that the entire South China Sea aka West Philippine Sea belongs completely to the Peoples Republic of China?
Mr. Lee: Thank you, your honor. Our claim is based on the historical fact that this entire area has belonged to us since the Han Dynasty.
Judge: How do you intend to prove your case?
Mr. Lee: I will present to this Court an almost two thousand year old Han Dynasty map that indicates the limits of the Han Dynasty kingdom.
Judge: Lets assume for purposes of discussion that the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and other surrounding countries were provinces or part of the Han Dynasty during its time even if the map you hold may just actually be a navigational map which does not really define the limits of the Han Dynasty. Now my study of Chinas history indicate that the Han Dynasty lasted from 206 B.C. To 220 A.D. Is this correct?
Mr. Lee: Yes your honor.
Judge: I assume Mr. Lee that you are familiar with Alexander the Great, the young Macedonian king who conquered much of the ancient world.
Mr. Lee: I am, your honor.
Judge: At the time of his death in 323 B.C., Alexanders kingdom included Greece, Syria, Persia now known as Iran, Egypt and a part of India. Are you aware Mr. Lee that Macedonia, Alexanders country is now known as the Republic of Macedonia?
Mr. Lee: If you say so your honor.
Judge: Good! You appear to know your history. I assume you are also familiar with the Roman Empire which existed for over a thousand years.
Mr. Lee: Thank you your honor, I do read history.
Judge: You are then aware Mr. Lee that at its height, the Roman Empire included most of Europe and parts of Africa and Asia.
Mr. Lee: I am aware, your honor.
Judge: Now Mr. Lee, since the time of Alexander, the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty through the course of time and historical events, various independent countries have emerged in Europe, Africa and Asia which now have their own respective territories. This is a reality which we all have to accept, wouldnt you say?
Mr. Lee: We cannot deny reality, your honor.
Judge: Now Mr. Lee, another undeniable reality is that Alexanders empire, the Roman empire and the Han Dynasty kingdom are no longer existent am I correct in my observation?
Mr. Lee: You are correct, your honor.
Judge: Now Mr.Lee, in all candor, do you seriously believe that if the Republic of Macedonia and the Italian government were to come before this Court and petition us to affirm that they own the territories of these now independent countries because they were once a part of Alexanders empire or the Roman empire that we would be persuaded to grant these petitions?
Mr. Lee: I understand what you are getting at, Judge but most of what we are claiming as ours is marine area and not land.
Judge: The Spratlys and the Paracel islands are not land? Anyway, isnt it a fact that China is a signatory to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) which she ratified on July 6, 1996 thereby agreeing to be bound by its provisions and part of which is that anything within 200 miles from the baseline of a country belongs to that country?
Mr. Lee: China did agree to those provisions at a time when it was not yet aware of the far reaching consequences of UNCLOS to her national interests.
Judge: I will not mince my words Mr. Lee. What you mean is that at that time, the world, including China, was not yet aware, that vast deposits of oil and natural gas were to be found within the territorial limits of neighboring countries. Now because of this awareness, even if China knows she is trespassing and violating international law, she is using the coercive might of her size, military or otherwise to grab these enormous reserves of petrowealth from the territories of her smaller, weaker, poorer neighbors who badly need these assets to improve the plight of their own people.

Post 12´s Judge mentions many old empires that no longer exist and the independent countries now are in parts of their former ruled land to refute China´s claim to all of the South China Sea which is in part based on the great extent of the Han Dynasty kingdom. Clearly, the judge is correct – Just because some territory was once yours, doesn´t mean it forever is.
Unwittingly the Judge destroys his own argument with these examples. You own an area only so long as you can control it. These new nations in the land of the old empires do own their regions as they control them. Basically it comes down to: "Possession is 9/10 of the law."
When a powerful nation like the US or China, does not like the conclusions of some international body (with no military to enforce them) the powerful nation just ignores these ruling, usually adding some argument that the international body does not have jurisdiction.
The US´s power is declining and China´s is increasing, but US has the military superiority still. Thus is in the process of increasing the strength of it naval forces in the South China Sea. As both US and China have nuclear ICBMs and US navy intelligence has concluded that China´s recently tested (several times more than a year ago) terminal guidance "ICBM" could sink an aircraft carrier with just an HE warhead, even if the carrier is zigzagging at high speed 1800 miles for the launch point, one can be reasonably sure full war between China and US will not occur, even if it remains non-nuclear. ("ICBM" is in quotes as in the end phase of its super sonic descent to the target it is not "ballistic" but closed loop Guided. I.e. a better designation for this new weapon would be ICGM.)
China would never start a war with the US. Not only is it with less military strength, but it is clearly winning the more than decade old economic war with the US. In less than a decade more, the dollar will be trash; or at least not the world´s reserve currency, and China, not the US, will have the privilege of paying of oil and other imports with printed pieces of paper. Then the US will not be the dominate naval force in the South China Sea. China is building a carrier based "blue water" navy and has sent a modern cruiser into the Med Sea (to evacuate Chinese nationals from Libra weeks before the Brits were able to do the same for their endangered citizens). US navy with little oil available and the nation in depression will mainly be in port.
SUMMARY: China will use the ancient principle: "Might makes rights." same as US has done. China will in a decade or so effectively own ALL of the South China Sea. Countries like the Philippines, etc. may be able to share in the development of it natural resources, if China is willing. I.e. the same way it originally came to exist (Greater might) the Han Dynasty kingdom will be reborn.

"We all know that the Philippines is China's inherent territory and the Philippines belongs to Chinese sovereignty, this is an indisputable fact," - He Jia, anchor for China Central Television's (CCTV)
"... A vow to boost oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea accompanied the launch of the countrys first domestically manufactured deepwater drilling rig. The semi-submersible Haiyangshiyou 981, with an operating water depth of 3,000 meters, drilled its first well on Wednesday.
The well, Liwan 6-1-1, is located 320 kilometers to the southeast of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region with a water depth of 1,500 meters. Wang Yilin, chairman of rig operator China National Offshore Oil Corp, said that the rig will also protect the countrys sovereignty and territorial waters. ..."

PS recently they set up a gold exchange mainly for Asian traders, but you can take delivery there too. They claim that in a few years volume and importance for setting price will exceed the exchange in London.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
In the context of human evolution, human vestigiality involves those characters (such as organs or behaviors) occurring in the human species that are considered vestigial—in other words having lost all or most of their original function through evolution. Although structures usually called "vestigial" often appear functionless, a vestigial structure may retain lesser functions or develop minor new ones.[1] In some cases, structures once identified as vestigial simply had an unrecognized function.[2]
The examples of human vestigiality are numerous, including the anatomical (such as the human appendix, tailbone, wisdom teeth, and inside corner of the eye), the behavioral (goose bumps and palmar grasp reflex), sensory (decreased olfaction), and molecular (Noncoding DNA). Many human characteristics are also vestigial in other primates and related animals.
In 1893, Robert Wiedersheim published a book on human anatomy and its relevance to man's evolutionary history. This book contained a list of 86 human organs that he considered vestigial, or as Wiedersheim himself explained: "Organs having become wholly or in part functionless, some appearing in the Embryo alone, others present during Life constantly or inconstantly. For the greater part Organs which may be rightly termed Vestigial."[3] In the 1895 edition his wording was subtly, but significantly, different: "By such organs are meant those which were formerly of greater physiological significance than at present."[4] His list of supposedly vestigial organs included many of the examples on this page as well as others then mistakenly believed to be purely vestigial, such as the pineal gland, the thymus gland, and the pituitary gland. Some of these organs that had lost their obvious, original functions later turned out to have retained functions that had gone unrecognized before the discovery of hormones or many of the functions and tissues of the immune system. Examples included:
Historically there was a trend not only to dismiss the vermiform appendix as being uselessly vestigial, but an anatomical hazard, a liability to dangerous inflammation. As late as the mid 20th century many reputable authorities conceded it no beneficial function.[5] This was a view supported, or perhaps inspired, by Darwin himself in the 1874 edition of his book The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex. The organ's patent liability to appendicitis and its poorly understood role left the appendix open to blame for a number of possibly unrelated conditions. For example, in 1916 a surgeon claimed that removal of the appendix had cured several cases of trifacial neuralgia and other nerve pain about the head and face, even though he stated that the evidence for appendicitis in those patients was inconclusive.[6] The discovery of hormones and hormonal principles, notably by Bayliss and Starling argued against these views, but in the early twentieth century there remained a great deal of fundamental research to be done on the functions of large parts of the digestive tract. In 1916 an author found it necessary to argue against the idea that the colon had no important function and that "...the ultimate disappearance of the appendix is a coordinate action and not necessarily associated with such frequent inflammations as we are witnessing in the human..."[7]
There had been a long history of doubt about such dismissive views. Around 1920 the prominent surgeon Kenelm Hutchinson Digby documented previous observations, going back more than thirty years, that suggested lymphatic tissues, such as the tonsils and appendix, may have substantial immunological functions.
In modern humans, the vermiform appendix is a vestige of an organ that in ancestral species had digestive functions, much as it still does in extant species in which intestinal flora hydrolyze cellulose and similar indigestible plant materials.[8] Some herbivorous animals, such as rabbits, have a terminal vermiform appendix and cecum that apparently bear patches of tissue with immune functions and may also be important in maintaining the composition of gut flora. It does not however seem to have much digestive function, if any, and is not present in all herbivores, even those with large caeca.[9] As shown in the accompanying pictures however, the human appendix typically is about comparable to that of the rabbit in size, though the caecum is reduced to a single bulge where the ileum empties into the colon.[5] Some carnivorous animals may have appendices too, but seldom have more than vestigial caeca.[10] In line with the possibility of vestigial organs developing new functions, some research suggests that the appendix may guard against the loss of symbiotic bacteria that aid in digestion, though that is unlikely to be a novel function, given the presence of vermiform appendices in many herbivores.[11][12] Intestinal bacterial populations entrenched in the appendix may support quick re-establishment of the large-gut flora after an illness, poisoning, or antibiotic treatment depletes or otherwise causes harmful changes to the bacterial population of the colon.[13]
The coccyx, or tailbone, is the remnant of a lost tail. All mammals have a tail at one point in their development; in humans, it is present for a period of 4 weeks, during stages 14 to 22 of human embryogenesis.[14] This tail is most prominent in human embryos 31–35 days old.[15] The tailbone, located at the end of the spine, has lost its original function in assisting balance and mobility, though it still serves some secondary functions, such as being an attachment point for muscles, which explains why it has not degraded further.
In rare cases congenital defect results in a short tail-like structure being present at birth. Twenty-three cases of human babies born with such a structure have been reported in the medical literature since 1884.[16][17]
Wisdom teeth are vestigial third molars that human ancestors used to help in grinding down plant tissue. The common postulation is that the skulls of human ancestors had larger jaws with more teeth, which were possibly used to help chew down foliage to compensate for a lack of ability to efficiently digest the cellulose that makes up a plant cell wall. As human diets changed, smaller jaws were naturally selected, yet the third molars, or "wisdom teeth," still commonly develop in human mouths.[18] Currently, wisdom teeth have become useless and even harmful to the extent where surgical procedures are often performed to remove them.
Agenesis of wisdom teeth in human populations ranges from zero in Tasmanian Aboriginals to nearly 100% in indigenous Mexicans.[19] The difference is related to the PAX9 gene (and perhaps other genes).[20]
In some animals the vomeronasal organ (VNO) is part of a second, completely separate sense of smell, known as the accessory olfactory system. Many studies have been performed to find if there is an actual presence of a VNO in adult human beings. Trotier et al.[21] estimated that around 92% of their subjects that had no septal surgery had at least one intact VNO. Kjaer and Fisher Hansen, on the other hand,[22] stated that the VNO structure disappeared during fetal development as it does for some primates.[23] However, Smith and Bhatnagar (2000)[24] asserted that Kjaer and Fisher Hansen simply missed the structure in older fetuses. Won (2000) found evidence of a VNO in 13 of his 22 cadavers (59.1%) and in 22 of his 78 living patients (28.2%).[25] Given these findings, some scientists have argued that there is a VNO in adult human beings.[26][27] However, most investigators have sought to identify the opening of the vomeronasal organ in humans, rather than identify the tubular epithelial structure itself.[28] Thus it has been argued that such studies, employing macroscopic observational methods, have sometimes missed or even misidentified the vomeronasal organ.[29]
Among studies that use microanatomical methods, there is no reported evidence that human beings have active sensory neurons like those in working vomeronasal systems of other animals.[29][30] Furthermore, there is no evidence to date that suggests there are nerve and axon connections between any existing sensory receptor cells that may be in the adult human VNO and the brain.[31] Likewise, there is no evidence for any accessory olfactory bulb in adult human beings,[29] and the key genes involved in VNO function in other mammals have become pseudogenes in human beings. Therefore, while the presence of a structure in adult human beings is debated, a review of the scientific literature by Tristram Wyatt concluded, "most in the field ... are sceptical about the likelihood of a functional VNO in adult human beings on current evidence."[32]
The ears of a Macaque monkey and most other monkeys have far more developed muscles than those of humans, and therefore have the capability to move their ears to better hear potential threats.[33] Humans and other primates such as the orangutan and chimpanzee however have ear muscles that are minimally developed and non-functional, yet still large enough to be identifiable.[8] A muscle attached to the ear that cannot move the ear, for whatever reason, can no longer be said to have any biological function. In humans there is variability in these muscles, such that some people are able to move their ears in various directions, and it has been said that it may be possible for others to gain such movement by repeated trials.[8] In such primates the inability to move the ear is compensated mainly by the ability to turn the head on a horizontal plane, an ability which is not common to most monkeys—a function once provided by one structure is now replaced by another.[34]
The outer structure of the ear also shows some vestigial features, such as the node or point on the helix of the ear known as Darwin's tubercle which is found in around 10% of the population.
The plica semilunaris is a small fold of tissue on the inside corner of the eye. It is the vestigial remnant of the nictitating membrane, an organ that is fully functional in some other species of mammals.[35] Its associated muscles are also vestigial.[8] Only one species of primate, the Calabar Angwantibo, is known to have a functioning nictitating membrane.[36]
The orbitalis muscle is a vestigial or rudimentary nonstriated muscle (smooth muscle) of the eye that crosses from the infraorbital groove and sphenomaxillary fissure and is intimately united with the periosteum of the orbit. It was described by Johannes Peter Müller and is often called Müller's muscle. The muscle forms an important part of the lateral orbital wall in some animals, but in humans it is not known to have any significant function.
In the internal genitalia of each human gender, there are some residual organs of mesonephric and paramesonephric ducts during embryonic development:
In some texts regarding the vestigiality of some organs in external genitalia, the nipples in men are cited as the vestigial organs of breasts in women, and the clitoris the vestigial organ of the penis. However, it is better to say that these organs are homologous, as they are present in both genders of humans (and primates), not during the passage of animal development.[citation needed]
The hymen is a membrane that surrounds or partially covers the external vaginal opening. Some scientists[who?] view the function of hymen in young girls as a protective membrane that protects the reproductive system from infection in the embryonic period and protect the fertility of young girls before mating.[citation needed] The existence of hymen in some animals, such as horses, prevent semen from leaving the vagina. Due to similar reproductive system development, many mammals, including chimpanzees, elephants, manatees, whales, and horses retain hymens.[37][38]
A number of muscles in the human body are thought to be vestigial, either by virtue of being greatly reduced in size compared to homologous muscles in other species, by having become principally tendonous, or by being highly variable in their frequency within or between populations.
The Occipitalis Minor is a muscle in the back of the head which normally joins to the auricular muscles of the ear. This muscle is very sporadic in frequency—always present in Malays, in 56% of Africans, 50% of Japanese, 36% of Europeans, and is nonexistent in the Khoikhoi people of southwestern Africa and in Melanesians.[39] Other small muscles in the head associated with the occipital region and the post-auricular muscle complex are often variable in their frequency.[40]
In many non-human mammals the upper lip and sinus area is associated with whiskers or vibrissae which serve a sensory function. In humans these whiskers do not exist but there are still sporadic cases where elements of the associated vibrissal capsular muscles or Sinus hair muscles can be found. Based on histological studies of the upper lips of 20 cadavers, Tamatsu et al. found that structures resembling such muscles were present in 35% (7/20) of their specimens.[41]
The palmaris longus muscle is seen as a small tendon between the flexor carpi radialis and the flexor carpi ulnaris, although it is not always present. The muscle is absent in about 14% of the population, however this varies greatly with ethnicity. One study has shown the prevalence of palmaris longus agenesis in 500 Indian patients to be 17.2% (8% bilateral and 9.2% unilateral).[42] The palmaris is a popular source of tendon material for grafts and this has prompted studies which have shown the absence of the palmaris does not have any appreciable effect on grip strength.[43]
The levator claviculae muscle in the posterior triangle of the neck is a supernumerary muscle present in only 2–3% of all people[44] but nearly always present in most mammalian species, including gibbons and orangutans.[45]
The pyramidalis muscle of the abdomen is a small and triangular muscle, anterior to the rectus abdominis, and contained in the rectus sheath. It is absent in 20% of humans and when absent the lower end of the rectus then becomes proportionately increased in size. Anatomical studies suggest that the forces generated by the pyramidalis muscles are relatively small.[46]
The plantaris muscle is composed of a thin muscle belly and a long thin tendon. The muscle belly is approximately 5–10 centimetres (2–4 inches) long, and is absent in 7–10% of the human population. It has some weak functionality in moving the knee and ankle but is generally considered redundant and is often used as a source of tendon for grafts. The long, thin tendon of the plantaris is humorously called "the freshman's nerve," as it is often mistaken for a nerve by first-year medical students.
Extra nipples or breasts sometimes appear along the mammary lines of humans, appearing as a remnant to mammalian ancestors who possessed more than two nipples or breasts.
Although the sense of smell, or olfaction, is essential for many animals in avoiding predators, finding food, and other functions, olfaction is greatly decreased in humans as they have (for the most part) no predators and obtain food mostly by agriculture. There is great variation in olfactory sensitivity from person to person, which is common in vestigial characteristics. It has been observed that native South Americans, native North Americans, and African peoples have a highly developed sense of smell, such that they may be able to identify others in the dark by their odor alone.[8] This does not mean that having any olfactory ability at all is vestigial, for example it may save a person from inhaling toxic fumes. A characteristic may degenerate despite being of some use if there is very little or no selection pressure on the genes associated with it. In other words, having a good sense of smell may be something a person would desire, but unless those without such abilities have a lower reproductive success or fitness, there is no barrier to its degeneration.[citation needed]
Humans also bear some vestigial behaviors and reflexes. For example, the formation of goose bumps in humans under stress is a vestigial reflex;[47] a possible function in human evolutionary ancestors was to raise the body's hair, making the ancestor appear larger and scaring off predators. Raising the hair is also used to trap an extra layer of air, keeping an animal warm. Due to the diminished amount of hair in humans, the reflex formation of goose bumps when cold is also vestigial.
The palmar grasp reflex is supported to be a vestigial behavior in human infants. When placing a finger or object to the palm of an infant, it will securely grasp it. This grasp is found to be rather strong.[48] Some infants—37% according to a 1932 study—are able to support their own weight from a rod,[49] although there is no way they can cling to their mother. The grasp is also evident in the feet too. When a baby is sitting down, its prehensile feet assume a curled-in posture, much like what is observed in an adult chimp.[50][51] An ancestral primate would have had sufficient body hair to which an infant could cling unlike modern humans, thus allowing its mother to escape from danger, such as climbing up a tree in the presence of a predator without having to occupy her hands holding her baby.
It has been proposed that the hiccup is an evolutionary remnant of earlier amphibian respiration.[52] Amphibians such as tadpoles gulp air and water across their gills via a rather simple motor reflex akin to mammalian hiccuping. The motor pathways that enable hiccuping form early during fetal development, before the motor pathways that enable normal lung ventilation form. Thus, according to recapitulation theory the hiccup is evolutionarily antecedent to modern lung respiration. Additionally, they point out that hiccups and amphibian gulping are inhibited by elevated CO2 and may be stopped by GABAB receptor agonists, illustrating a possible shared physiology and evolutionary heritage. These proposals may explain why premature infants spend 2.5% of their time hiccuping[citation needed], possibly gulping like amphibians, as their lungs are not yet fully formed. Fetal intrauterine hiccups are of two types. The physiological type occurs prior to twenty-eight weeks after conception and tend to last five to ten minutes. These hiccups are part of fetal development and are associated with the myelination of the phrenic nerve, which primarily controls the thoracic diaphragm. The phylogeny hypothesis explains how the hiccup reflex might have evolved, and if there is not an explanation it may explain hiccups as an evolutionary remnant, held-over from our amphibious ancestors. This hypothesis has been questioned because of the existence of the afferent loop of the reflex, the fact that it does not explain the reason for glottic closure, and because the very short contraction of the hiccup is unlikely to have a significant strengthening effect on the slow-twitch muscles of respiration.
There are also vestigial molecular structures in humans, which are no longer in use but may indicate common ancestry with other species. One example of this is L-gulonolactone oxidase, a gene that is functional in most other mammals and produces an enzyme that synthesizes Vitamin C.[53] In humans and other members of the suborder Haplorrhini, a mutation disabled the gene and made it unable to produce the enzyme. However, the remains of the gene are still present in the human genome as a vestigial genetic sequence called a pseudogene.[54]

South Carolina ETV
Camden, S.C. Finds Success with Antiques
Friday - October 12, 2012 at 07:52 am
If you are a regular listener of this program, you may remember a recent trivia question about Camden, S.C. In 1774, King George III granted a license for Camden to hold a public fair on what is now known as Fair Street. That license was believed to be the first ever issued for a public fair in what was then the British Colonies. Camden is also the oldest inland city in South Carolina, and so it only seemed natural to our next guest for the city to hold an antiques fair.
Mike Switzer interviews Hope Cooper, executive director of the National Steeplechase Museum in Camden, S.C., one of the main charities benefiting from the Camden Antiques Fair.

Putting aside the issue of what people Twitter about (e.g. going to have a coffee, here's an interesting Web site, check out this news story, etc.), another interesting angle is how people use Twitter.
According to HubSpot, nearly half of Twitter users are using the Web – presumably Twitter.com, while 21.8% are using desktop application, 17.9% are using mobile services.
Among the top Twitter applications (other than Twitter.com), 9.3% are using Twitterfeed , while 7.3% are using TweetDeck.

Ben Chaplin (born 31 July 1970) is an English actor.
Chaplin, one of four children, was born Benedict John Greenwood in London, England, the son of Cynthia, a drama teacher, and Peter Greenwood, an engineer. The surname Chaplin is from Cynthia's maiden name; Chaplin is Jewish from his mother's side. He was raised in Windsor, Berkshire, England and attended PMRF (Princess Margaret Royal Free) School & the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
Chaplin first came to public attention for his performance as Matthew Malone in the first series of the sitcom Game On. After departing the series (his character was later recast with Neil Stuke) he co-starred in several movies including The Truth About Cats and Dogs, Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line, Murder By Numbers, The Touch with Michelle Yeoh and Birthday Girl.

Eating in London does not have to be expensive – if you know where to go. For those of you who are on a budget, here are 10 cheap eats in London where you can go for a good meal without breaking the bank.
Bone Daddies
I like Bone Daddies. It is a modern ramen bar where you can get a bowl of piping hot ramen for £12. It is quirky, happening and fun, just like how the cool crowd like it – it is the kind of place that is known mostly through word of mouth, from friends of friends. The queue is not quite fun, though.
31 Peter Street
London, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 20 7287 8581
Byron Hamburgers
Bryon Hamburgers may be a restaurant chain, but it is a place to go to for quality and reliable burgers – ground daily and made from Scottish beef, and perfect with a craft beer.
24-28 Charing Cross Road
London, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 20 7557 9830
Nearest Station: Leicester Square
1a Saint Giles High Street
London WC2H 8AG, United Kingdom
Tel: _44 20 7395 0620
Nearest Station: Tottenham Court Road
This is hands-down, one of the best udons I have ever had. This Japanese eatery in Soho attracts a long crowd during meal times – from tourists who have heard about this place from travel guides and blogs, to Asians seeking comfort food while being across the globe from home. A bowl of Udon ranges from £6.90 to £13.90.
49 Frith Street
London, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 20 7434 4463
Nearest Station: Tottenham Court Road/Leicester Square
Meat Liquor
Meat Liquor is one of the most talk-about restaurants in London. It has that winning formula that is hard to beat: satisfying burgers at affordable prices, served in a sexy and hip atmosphere.
74 Welbeck Street
London, United Kingdom
+44 20 7224 4239
Nearest Station: Bond Street
Ottolenghi is one place in London that sets a smile on my face because each visit sees me through an amazing array of desserts and pastries. The takeout counter leaves you spoilt for choices, and if you are dining in, they have an affordable set lunch menu which offers 3 salads and a main for £13.70.
13 Motcomb Street
London, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 20 7823 2707
Nearest Station: Knightsbridge
63 Ledbury Road
London, United Kingdom
+44 20 7727 1121
Nearest Station: Notting Hill Gate
For a decent and affordable meal under £10, go to Pho at Wardour Street in Soho. They have a variety of starters (£3.75 – £5.75) such as spring rolls, pork and lemongrass meats and Vietnamese crepes. You will also be in for many variations of pho (£8), and you can choose from options like thinly sliced steak, brisket and meatballs.
163-165 Wardour Street
London, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 20 7434 3938
Nearest Station: Oxford Circus/Tottenham Court Road
Pitt Cue Co
Pitt Cue Co is one of those no-reservation restaurants in London, and it is not because they are playing hard to get, but because they only have 30 seats. The food here is not rocket science, just good ol' American barbecue.
With limited seating capacity, this is a quick service restaurant and not a place to linger. If you do not mind waiting in line, what you get in return is a hearty meal at very decent prices.
1 Newburgh Street
London, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 20 7287 5578
Nearest Station: Oxford Circus
One of the places that left a deep impression on me is Wahaca. Its concept is similar to that of a Mexican market where you can get tasty and fresh hot food. Under the street food menu, there are tacos, tostadas, taquitos and quesaddillas – ideal for sharing. Otherwise, opt for the bigger plates comprising grilled items and burritos. Everything on the menu is priced under £10. This is definitely one of the best cheap eats in London.
80 Wardour Street
London, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 20 7734 0195
Nearest Station: Piccadilly Circus/Leicester Square
19-23 Charlotte Street
London, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 20 7323 2342
Nearest Station: Goodge Street
Workers Café
A 'greasy spoon' for the uninitiated is a good old British working café. At Workers Café, you can get a filling breakfast – consisting of egg, bacon, beans, bacon and black pudding – for just £6.
172 Upper Street
London, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 20 7226 3973
Nearest Station: Highbury & Islington

: Poor ppl are comparable to Stay animals?
SC politician's welfare comments called `immoral'
By SEANNA ADCOX
The Associated Press
Monday, January 25, 2010; 10:47 PM
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- When things looked their darkest for
Gov. Mark Sanford
- when he was in danger of being impeached for running off to Argentina to see his mistress - his best insurance policy may well have been South Carolina's lieutenant governor, Andre Bauer.
Lawmakers knew if they removed Sanford, they would end up with Bauer, a fiercely ambitious Republican with a reputation for reckless and immature behavior.
Now Bauer has folks shaking their heads again, after he likened government assistance to the poor to feeding stray animals.
At a town hall meeting Thursday, Bauer, who is running for governor in his own right now that Sanford is term-limited, said: "My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed! You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that."
Democrats and others railed at him.
"I am disgusted by these comments. They show an unbelievable lack of compassion toward the unemployed workers in our state who are hurting during these hard times," said state Sen. Vincent Sheheen, a Democrat who is also running for governor. "His comments were immoral and out of line."
South Carolina schools Superintendent Jim Rex, another Democratic candidate for governor, called Bauer's comments "reprehensible" and said he should apologize.
Bauer said Monday that he regrets his choice of words but that government should expect welfare recipients to try to better themselves. He wants to require them to take drug tests and attend parent-teacher conferences if they have children in school.
A child of divorce who benefited from free lunches himself, Bauer insisted he wasn't bad-mouthing people laid off from work in the recession or advocating taking food from children, but rather emphasizing the need to break the cycle of dependency.
"Do I wish I'd used a different metaphor? Of course I do," the 40-year-old said. "I didn't intend to offend anyone."
Bauer has long been a love-him-or-hate-him figure in South Carolina politics. A nonstop campaigner and self-described workaholic, he was the youngest elected lieutenant governor in the country when he first won the No. 2 spot in 2002 at age 33.
Before his 2006 re-election, he shattered his heel when the single-engine plane he was piloting ran into power lines, crashed and caught fire. Bauer's office said the maintenance company that overhauled the engine botched the job. Court records show that a federal administrative law judge in June fined the company for returning the plane with incorrect bolts.

avanti nuovi followers, mandate delle foto!
che io non trovo materiale da decente su cui scrivere…
c'mon new followers, subimit some photos!
I'm not finding any decent picture to write about…
Most of the times I find my photos in flea markets or at antique dealers. But some times I can find interesting material in the most uncanny ways.
A few months ago I found two cameras, along with a couple of old colour 35mms.
One camera is actually a really neat one and I used it for a while, forgetting about the films.
Till a week ago when I brought them to develop, together with a film I made.
I thought I could probably find some interesting material for this blog…
well, it was surprising…
the aviator
year I would say short before WWII or in the early stages of the war. The paper the image is printed on is an Agfa Lupex, produced in Germany from the twenties to the postwar period, with wartime markings.
…so yeah, let's say around the end of the thirties.
It's a BW photo of a young german soldier, wearing his Luftwaffe uniform, asleep on a train.
The pilot is napping with his head resting on the wooden door of the compartment, his cap still on, mouth open and hands between his legs.
Next to him, on the wooden bench, we spot two feet from another passenger.
The picture has a light vignetting on its lower section.
This is a stolen photograph of an exhausted soldier, probably sleeping while traveling alone from or to a training camp, a barrack or airport in the chaotic times right before the war.
He felt asleep in a morning light, suddenly and without taking off the coat or his cap.
He is surrounded by civilians and despite the uniform he shows innocence and vulnerability.
By propaganda of the time all soldier assumed an heroic, almost epic dimension and whoever took this picture was probably struck by his child-like peaceful sleep.
I like to think that this portrait could have been made by Gerda Taro, on her way to Paris in the early 30'. She was leaving Leipzig, forced by the Nazi regime, traveling alone. She split from her family, escaping from Germany and its antisemitic and authoritarian policies.
She wasn't targeted just because her religion but also because her political beliefs and commitments in anti-nazi movements and propaganda. She was already been arrested and detained a year earlier, in 1933, and the embittering of the living condition forced her and her family to flee.
In this portrait she might have wanted to show a last glimpse of humanity in a people condemned to follow the maddest of ideologies.
After all she was a war photographer, with plenty of experience already.
She knew she had to be impartial in her work and always able to display the events without involvement, even when deeply personal and painful.
pure peer pressure, pals.
I've noticed a lot of new followers here and I don't really know why. I haven't be posting for a lot of time, probably because I'm not inspired enough or just because I'm not finding the right pictures to talk about.
to you, new followers, I suggest my other tumblr. my personal one, the one I actually use and update.
also because I don't think I'm going to many flea market, archives or collections to get new pictures anytime soon.
or you could always send me your found photos , of course…in that case just write me.
pura pressione sociale, ragazzi.
ho notato un sacco di nuovi followers qui e non saprei proprio il perché. non ho postato per molto tempo, probabilmente perché non ispirato abbastanza o semplicemente perché non sto trovando le giuste immagini delle quali parlare.
a voi, nuovi followers, consiglio il mio altro tumblr. quello personale, quello che davvero uso ed aggiorno.
anche perché dubito che prossimamente andrò per mercatini, archivi o collezioni a prendere nuove immagini.
o potete sempre mandarmi le vostre di found photos, ovviamente…nel caso scrivetemi.
yet another blog to add to my list, dedicated just to my personal work as a photographer.
check it out.
from the series Contact 1984
addio a Gabriele Basilico 1944-2013
seeping child
7,3 x 10,3
first visit by Jehovah's Witnesses at my new place, italians in top of that.
well, I guess that makes my moving official.
the Germans
7,3 x 10,3
year on the back is marked Juli '57. an easy one
Per se the picture is nothing odd: a kid and a small child in a big basket/crib. the older one is looking outside the frame while the other is facing the camera.
Small details like the two diverging looks, the open door on the background and the pijamas worn by the kids give the picture the general impression that it wasn't staged and that the photographer did actually captured an authentic every-day-life moment.
The image presented is familiar though detached.
It suggests an intimate moment ( from the light and what the kids are wearing I think it has been taken in the morning ) but it has the feeling it has been done by someone unrelated with the life within the family.
At a close look the picture gives the impression of a will to record an intimacy wich doesn't belong to the photographer, but wich is his/her main subject.
It is just a deduction and it could be just one of many family pictures.
Photographers often aim at intimate moments to narrate a story or to record, in a bigger picture, a society.
Whether with the precise goal of portraying a people or summing a career-long awful lot of photos, photographers have managed to give a voice to the place they were living in and the time they were living at.
Robert Frank in US, Robert Doisneau and Henri Cartier-Bresson in France and Ando Gilardi in Italy are some of them.
In Germany, where this photo comes from, there was August Sander.
It could have been he who took it, as he took thousand of clicks of Germans of every age and condition, always with a distant eye and without judging. In this case even a picture of two children is an important piece of the epic and ethos of a nation and its people in the first half of the twentieth century.
I'm back!
with new photos taken and found and a few new cameras as well.
getting herpes due to stress 24 hours before leaving for 21 days of holiday.
35mm diapo
year no idea!
The mount is a simple german made Hama-DSR plastic cheap mount. This model has more less been unchanged for the last 40 years.Opening it didn't help either, the film doesn't have any clue whatsoever.
I just could guess though, from clothes and staches that it is probably between the seventies and the eighties.
Perhaps the author tried to have two relatives or friends perfectly framed, but he/she actually cut the scene a little too open including enough foreground to weaken the composition of the portrait.
It works as a choral scene though, with anonymous characters repeating the same act of sunbathing, with almost the same pose and expression.
They pose on what looks like the deck of a boat, randomly arranged.
The picture in itself doesn't narrate us anything. it just freezes a moment between moments in a sequence recreating a surreal static scene.
Picking this precise glimpse could be mere luck as well as a trained eye.
Decontextualise a frame of a sequence in order to expose a funny, bizarre or uncanny view.
It could have been Thomas Hoepker, and his uncomfortably lucid eye for juxtaposition and subtile shocking.
It could also have been Bruce Davidson, thanks especially to his skill to capture a random, every-day-life, urban scene and then transform it in a meticulously arranged set.
maybe I should try to find some new material for this tumblr.
cheez, I really got lazy. and busy.
has the internet any thought about it?
lady in a sphere
9x11,8 negative
year guys, I have no clue. Looking the girl's style I could say something like mid-twenties or something like that. The negative gives me nothing. Any idea?
from strangeness to strangeness
So, let's be anal and try just to describe it.
It is supposedly a medium format B&W negative, quite impossible to date, with no marks whatsoever ( it is even impossible to tell the right side to look at it ), of something resembling a locket with a missing part, the picture of a lady with a hat on it, covering another photo.
it doesn't make sense. none, at all.
The composition is as simple as it is odd. The main object of the picture is a portrait on a unusual support, overlapping another frame. It' hard to tell the material of the thingy and even the function; it's also quite impossible to give e description of the covered picture, of which we could see just the corners.
It's a bizarre photo, with a little nonsense and a lot of allure.
It's old even if out of time. It evokes without saying.
It could have been both Man Ray or a photography student at the Bauhaus.
Both share a strong will of renew, shock and invent. They were looking for a new way of using photography as an abstract art, a new media to be explored in the same years the artistic movements, which then changed Europe, explored all other arts.
It could have been them as it could just be an attempt to portray an actual broken locket or even a nice nonsense joke as well.

Police are looking for a male suspect in the alleged attempted kidnapping of a Salt Lake City mother shortly after she dropped her children off at school.
Police say the suspect — a 5-foot-6 Polynesian man, 18-21 years old, with a muscular build and wearing a T-shirt with green stripes and a blue baseball cap — attempted to force the 27-year-old woman into his car about 8 a.m. Monday.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The woman was walking in the 900 North block of Morton Drive (1925 West) when the attempted abduction took place, police said. When the suspect grabbed her by the arm, the woman struggled and broke free. The would-be kidnapper then sped away, police said.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call Salt Lake City police at 801-799-3000.

Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) proudly supported the sixth Eco Expo Asia held from 26 to 29 October 2011. Central to HKIA's participation at the event was the Bamboo Promenade jointly sponsored by the Airport Authority (AA) and HSBC. Drawn by an aesthetically pleasing bamboo entrance decor, HKIA's exhibition raised awareness on the huge potential of the bamboo as an eco-friendly plant.
The AA and Friends of the Earth co-organised a green driving workshop on 8 September 2011, drawing an attendance of over 70 AA staff. Edwin Lau, Director of Friends of the Earth, went through topics including the challenges presented by global climate change, how driving affects air quality and climate, and the importance of being a responsible driver.
The AA joined hands with CLP Power Hong Kong Limited to host a seminar on low-carbon technology for airport community members on 29 July 2011. 60 participants from 20 companies listened to CLP representatives on a wide range of environmental topics, including the adoption of electric vehicles and the application of LED.
Emphasising the AA's green initiatives and promoting sustainability among the wider airport community, 35 participants from seven companies went on an educational visit to the WWF Hoi Ha Marine Life Centre in Sai Kung on 10 December 2011. It is Hong Kong's only sea-based marine education centre to provide interactive marine education programmes.
The AA joined hands with Hong Chi Association to host the 2010/11 Hong Chi-Hong Kong Jockey Club Community Organic Farming Competition for primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong. Students were encouraged to utilise campus areas and use recycled materials to plant organic vegetables, herbs and flowers.

"Mages have Counterspell, warlocks have Spell Lock, protection paladins have Avenger's Shield, etc etc etc."
The first two (and DK Death Grips, etc.) all rely on someone EXTERNAL to the tank to solve the problem. You cannot ever assume that the rest of your group is not full of people who are either ignorant about their classes or just don't care about anything but topping the meters--who won't stop their rotation for the single GCD it takes to help you gather the adds up.
The lattermost, I have no idea where you're even coming from. If you have a Prot Paladin in a five-man with a Prot Warrior, somebody fucked up.
Bottom line: EVERY tank needs some mechanic to gather scattered adds so they can maintain threat on them.

ATLANTA, GA - JANUARY 15: Clay Matthews #52 of the Green Bay Packers celebrates as he walks off the field after the Packers won 48-21 against the Atlanta Falcons during their 2011 NFC divisional playoff game at Georgia Dome on January 15, 2011 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Clay Matthews
Ahh, Clay Matthews. How could you not love that linebacking scamp? He walked-on at USC, one of the best football programs in the country, and earned himself a scholarship. What a redemption story! How an unknown, unheralded player could grab the attention of -- wait, what? He's a legacy Trojan football player? Oh, and a third-generation linebacker bred for the NFL? And he posed on the cover of Sports Illustrated shirtless? AND THE HAIR?
Nevermind. You can go back to hating Matthews now.
The linebacker has been in Green Bay as long as Jay Cutler has been in Chicago, and though he's been a Pro Bowl sacker for those two years, he hasn't been too effective against the Bears.
In four games against Chicago, he's had just two sacks, an insanely low number when you consider that he has 24 sacks in two seasons, and that the Bears give up more sacks than any other team in the NFL. That doesn't mean that the Bears don't need to worry about him, as he has been hot in the playoffs, sacking Michael Vick once and Matt Ryan twice.
Sadly, Bears fans will have many years to hate him, as this is just his second year in the NFL.

- Another guy that apparently was all over the field was Ellis Lankster. According to all accounts, he had a huge day and everyone was impressed by him.
- I couldn't agree with JETSerious more about the potential of our defensive line. Karl Dunbar has a great background of success, and he has a very athletic cast of characters with Coples, Ellis, Wilkerson…etc. He has every bit of potential there to work his magic on our defensive front.
- Keep an eye on this situation with Jeremy Kerley. As we all know, it is not often that a player is called out publicly by coach Rex Ryan. This is a clear indication that he is not happy with him. Furthermore, he talked today about alternatives to having Kerley in the slot, so he had better step it up quickly.
Thanks to the great JETSerious for his analysis. Tune in tomorrow as he will be in Cortland at workouts once again.

To be successful in life remember two things "Do the right thing, even when no one is looking" and Isaiah 54:17 "No weapon formed against you shall prosper" There will always be those who try to bring you down, when you stand for what is right you have nothing to worry about.
Life is beautiful when we offer the kindness in our souls,illustrate your beauty.
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit."
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
"One major thing that stands in between you and fulfillment of your dream is the willingness to start, the courage to move ahead and the faith to finish."
