THIS SUMMER, 60,000 TEXAS RESIDENTS who purchased houses from KB Home over the past decade will receive notices that warranty disputes with the builder don't need to be settled through binding arbitration.
A May 16 hearing in U.S. District Court in Laredo, Texas, should finalize a settlement between Los Angeles–based KB and homeowners represented in a class action filed in 2003. Janet Ahmad, president of San Antonio–based advocacy organization HomeOwners for Better Building, says that this agreement makes KB the first builder in the country to be barred from requiring binding arbitration. The option for arbitration, however, would remain open to homeowners.
KB's warranty dispute resolution policies have been scrutinized since 1979, when a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigation forced the builder to sign a consent decree that included offering warranties with standards set by the FTC and HUD.
KB was found to be in violation of that decree twice, in 1991 and 2003. On Aug. 3, 2005, the builder agreed to pay $2 million in civil penalties to settle federal charges that it had strayed from the decree by mandating arbitration over warranty disputes and requiring owners to pay fees and costs to initiate any arbitration proceedings.
Sierra Wilson, a KB spokesperson, says that the recent class-action settlement requires her company to notify customers of a commitment it made to the FTC last summer to offer a 10-year limited warranty with arbitration that is binding on KB but not homeowners. The notice will state that the effective date of the change is July 12, 2003.
"All we want them to do is build a better home," Ahmad told the Laredo Morning Times.

- Greetings unto the Populace of Ayreton from the Seneschal!
Since we are still in the process of creating our governing documents
we do not have any procedure for officer selection. Until we have a
charter with a stated policy we can continue to follow the process we
first used to select officers, i.e. a general election.
Mistress Sarafina has thankfully been working as our acting Web
Minister, but was not part of the original officer selection. We now
have additional volunteers for the position.
If you are interested in the web minister position please contact me
with your bid for office by Saturday June, 21st. You will have a
chance to publish candidate information on the Ayreton website but
campaigning online will be discouraged. Let's keep all the
information on the webpage and not flood the list with traffic.
You will be expected to maintain the Ayreton website and make sure
all information is current. As we are in our period of transition it
is important to have updates quickly. We place emphases on accuracy
and timeliness of information along with ease of navigation over
aesthetics. Though the position is largely web based, please expect
to also make it to Baronial meetings.
Voting for webminister will be in conjunction with the Baronial
Device ren-off process. The officer will be chosen at our July
buisness meeting. Proxies will be handeled in the same way. I will
email everyone our canidates next week once we have a chance to
collect applicants.
If you have questions please let me know. Thanks.
Your Servant to Command,
~Philip White

text: The LEGO Island wiki last edited by SaturdayNightSpecials on 03/11/14 06:50PM View full history OverviewLEGO Island is a nonlinear, open-ended, first-person adventure game that lets you freely explore a small tropical Island inhabited by LEGO minifigures. There are a variety of activities to do on the Island including; pizza deliveries, automotive/jet ski racing, helicopter missions and ambulance runs. There is also a short series of story missions involving "The Brickster," a mischievous criminal imprisoned on the Island. HistoryReleased exclusively for the PC in 1997, LEGO Island was the first video game based on the LEGO brand of toys. The 3D graphics were also relatively advanced for the time, which led to some debates during its development as to whether it should actually be 3D at all. GameplayLEGO Island follows the conventions of a sandbox-style game, where the player has freedom to complete objectives in any order. Upon first arriving on the Island you are greeted by the Infomaniac in the Information Center. Before exploring you need to choose one of five playable characters and a location to start from. Depending on which character the player chooses when the game is launched, different side quests may appear altogether. Playable CharactersThere are five playable characters in the game. Each with their own unique interactions with the inhabitants of the island. There are even special side missions that are only available when playing certain characters.Mama BrickoliniAs an Italian immigrant skilled with the piano, Mama works alongside her husband Papa Brickolini at the LEGO Island Pizzeria. Where she can usually be fond providing musical entertainment for the customers.Papa BrickoliniAlso an Italian immigrant, Papa owns and operates the LEGO Island Pizzeria along with his wife Mama Brickolini. When asked how he became so successful Papa replies "We're the only place to eat on the Island!" Pointing out they're motto "LEGO Island Pizzeria, where else you gonna eat?"Pepper RoniWhen not in school this "dude with the food" skates around LEGO Island delivering the only available food. Nick BrickOfficer Nick Brick of the LEGO Island police department is incredibly good at remembering things. He can remember almost anything. In fact, he remembers that he can remember almost anything right now.Laura BrickSister and fellow police officer to Nick Brick, Laura also works for the LEGO Island police department. She is a skilled motorcyclist and loves patrolling the Island while keeping the inhabitants safe from the Brickster and themselves.Non-Playable CharactersInfomaniacThe Infomaniac created LEGO Island some "40 zillion" years ago and lives in the Information Center. He acts as a wacky guide throughout the game informing you about various activites on the Island and how they work.BricksterThe Brickster was the first person built by the Infomaniac after creating LEGO Island. They became best friends until the Infomaniac informed him that he wanted to build others. This made the Brickster go insane. He stole bricks from LEGO Island and left to create is own Island called OGEL. He sometimes returns to LEGO Island to steal more bricks. At the start of the game the Brickster is imprisoned at the LEGO Island Jail.Bill DingResident expert Bill Ding shows up whenever you start building something. Like the Infomaniac he acts as a guide, but only when it comes to building things. Explaining to the player all the different functions of the build editor.LocationsThere are a number of locations to visit on LEGO Island, each offering it's own unique activities for the player.Information CenterThe Information Center is located on the east side of the Island and servers as a central hub where players can adjust all sorts of game settingsPolice StationThe LEGO Island Police Station located on the northeast corner of the Island is home to brother and sister police officers Nick and Laura Brick.Helipad & JailThe LEGO Island Police helipad and Jail is located just north of the Police Station. Here players can take the helicopter for a spin or talk to Brickster in the Jail.PizzeriaThe LEGO Island Pizzeria is located on the south side of the Island and home to Papa & Mama Brickolini. Papa makes the pizzas while Mama entertains the customers with live music. Pepper Roni works for them delivering pizza around the Island when he's not in school, wherever that is.Lifeguard StationAt the LEGO Island lifeguard station players can build their very own jet skis to race around the Island.RacetrackThe LEGO Island racetrack lets players build and race cars deep beneath the Island's surface through large caves filled with strange obstacles.HospitalAt the LEGO Island hospital players can help by driving an ambulance around assisting various island residents with their problems.

Forensic Characterization of Semen
Secretors Eighty percent of the population are secretors. Their blood- type antigens are found in high concentration in their body fluids such as saliva, semen, vaginal secretions, and gastric juices.
Testing for Seminal Stains Many of the cases sent to a forensic laboratory involve sexual offenses, making it necessary to examine exhibits for the presence of seminal stains. The best way to locate and at the same time characterize a seminal stain is to perform the acid phosphatase (an enzyme secreted into seminal fluid) color test. – A purple color indicates acid phosphatase enzyme.
Acid Phosphatase
Christmas Tree Stain
Testing for Seminal Stains Semen can be unequivocally identified by either the presence of spermatozoa or of p30, a protein unique to seminal plasma. Forensic scientists can successfully link seminal material to an individual by DNA typing.
Rape Evidence The rape victim must undergo a medical examination as soon as possible after the assault. At that time the appropriate items of physical evidence including clothing, hairs, and vaginal and rectal swabs can be collected for subsequent laboratory examination. All outer and undergarments should be carefully removed and packaged separately in paper (not plastic) bags. Bedding, or the object upon which the assault took place, may also be carefully collected.
Rape Evidence If a suspect is apprehended within 24 hours of the assault, it may be possible to detect the victim's DNA on the male's underwear or on a penile swab of the suspect. Items routinely collected from the suspect include all clothing, pubic hair, head hair, penile swab, and a blood sample or buccal swab for DNA typing. The forceful physical contact between victim and assailant may result in a transfer of such physical evidence of blood, semen, saliva, hairs, and fibers.

The CIRTL Network: 25 Research Universities Preparing a National Faculty to Advance STEM Undergraduate Learning
Project PI: Robert D. Mathieu (University of Wisconsin—Madison)Graduate students and post-doctoral fellows at research universities will shape the future of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) undergraduate education in the United States. These future faculty, trained at research universities, flow into the STEM faculties of more than 4,400 research universities, comprehensive universities, liberal arts colleges, and community and tribal colleges. The Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) uses graduate education as the leverage point to develop a national STEM faculty with the capability and commitment to implement and improve effective teaching and learning practices for all students.
Research universities can and will prepare STEM future faculty to be both forefront researchers and excellent teachers. In 2011 nearly 1500 future faculty from across STEM participated in the learning communities of the six research universities in the prototype CIRTL Network. A decade of research and evaluation demonstrates that STEM future faulty in such CIRTL learning communities understand, employ, and can advance high-impact teaching practices.Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network (CLEAN) Pathway

Higher Education Academy Subject Centre for Geography, Earth & Environmental Sciences (GEES)
The GEES Subject Centre has been in existence since May 2000. Its purpose is to promote and support high quality learning and teaching across the disciplines of geography, earth and environmental sciences in UK higher education (including HE in FE). Based at the University of Plymouth, the GEES Subject Centre is a national and international hub for the exchange of knowledge on learning and teaching across the three disciplines. It provides a voice for the discipline communities, contributing to government consultations and policy developments. The Centre has a UK-wide brief and this is reflected in the locations of its activities and events.InTeGrate: Interdisciplinary Teaching of Geoscience for a sustainable future
Project TeamThis Center focuses on the contribution of geoscience to the grand challenges facing society, particularly resource issues (minerals,water, food) and environmental issues (climate change, hazards, waste disposal, environmental degradation). Work is focused at two levels: lower division courses designed to build a broad based understanding of the challenges and the role of geoscience, science and social science in the solutions; and upper division courses and degree programs designed to develop a geoscience workforce prepared to work collaboratively with experts from STEM, social science, business and industry. Inter-institutional curriculum development teams are developing and testing course materials in the full spectrum of institutional settings. These will be published on line and available in print with a full set of materials for faculty supporting implementation on the SERC website. A set of pilot programs will demonstrate department, institutional and multi-campus approaches to curriculum and program structures that enroll general education, STEM and Social Science majors, future teachers, and geoscience students in these courses. An integrated assessment program will measure the impact of new course materials and programs on students a) Earth science literacy including their understanding of the role of geoscience in addressing the grand challenges facing society, b) ability to address interdisciplinary open ended problems, and c) understanding of the process of science. A professional development program integrated with On the Cutting Edge and Building Strong Geoscience Departments programs will support widespread adaption and adoption of course materials and program structures. An overarching evaluation will research the impact of the program at the course, departmental and institutional levels focused on understanding how the program is influencing changes in instruction and program design, and the subsequent impact on enrollment and learning in courses addressing the role of geoscience in solving societal grand challenges.

Chapters walk users through case studies in which they use data and analysis tools to explore important issues and concepts in Earth system science. Chapters are designed for use by K-12 teachers, undergraduate faculty, and their students. Each chapter features specific datasets and analysis or visualization tools, and provides enough experience and in-depth knowledge of the resource to enable an educator to use it, apply it to other teaching contexts, or help students use the resource to explore and investigate aspects of the Earth system. Winner of a 2011 AAAS Science Prize for Online Resources in Education (SPORE) Prize
Earth Learning Idea
Project PIs: Chris King (Keele University), Peter Kennett (Keele University), and Elizabeth Devon (University of Bath)Earth Learning Idea will publish a new idea for teaching Earth science every week during 2008—the International Year of Planet Earth. The ideas are specifically designed for classrooms with minimal resources - anywhere on Earth, while encouraging interactive teaching and the development of thinking and investigational skills in pupils. The ideas are aimed primarily at pre-service teacher trainers, as they will reach the widest teacher audience, but also welcomes interested teachers to subscribe. Each Earth Learning Idea will be accompanied by a blog, to encourage the development of a global discussion network of those interested in Earth science education. The Earth Learning Ideas will appear one per month during September—December and one per week thereafter and are being produced by voluntary effort with no funding.
Geoscience in Two-Year Colleges
Project PIs: Bob Filson (Green River Community College), Laura Guertin (Penn State Brandywine), Kaatje Kraft (Mesa Community College), Heather Macdonald (College of William and Mary)Two-year colleges (2YC) play an important role in the science and mathematics education of undergraduate students, enrolling approximately 45% of all undergraduate students in the country. With their diverse student populations, 2YC also have an important role in broadening participation in STEM fields including the geosciences. They also play an important role in contributing to the geoscience workforce, teaching science to pre-service K-12 teachers, and producing earth-science literate citizens. A planning workshop in the summer of 2010 will bring together faculty from two-year colleges, four-year colleges and universities, and representatives from professional societies and organizations to learn more about geoscience in TYC and their potential for increasing diversity in the geosciences and to discuss how to best support this important community.
Instructional Approaches to Promote Access and Inclusion in the Geosciences
Project PI: Christopher Atchison (Georgia State University )The design and presentation of this course will be informed by current research focused on students with disabilities and understanding not only the external, physical barriers to access and inclusion to the geoscience curriculum, but also the internal, personal, psychological and social challenges that these students face away from public view. This short course will be entirely facilitated by members of the International Advisory for Geoscience Diversity (IAGD). Student members of the IAGD with disabilities will offer examples of best instructional practices for accommodation and inclusion. These students will share insights on what barriers they have encountered and what has helped them overcome these barriers in the pursuit of degrees in the geosciences.
MARGINS Data in the Classroom
Project PIs: Geoff Abers (Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory), Andy Goodliffe (University of Alabama), Andrew Goodwillie (Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory), Rosemary Hickey-Vargas (Florida International University), Cathy Manduca (Carleton College), Jeff Ryan (University of South Florida), Don Reed (San Jose State University)The MARGINS program has been granted a NSF-CCLI grant to develop web-based undergraduate classroom teaching modules in cooperation with the Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College. As a part of this collaboration, a series of workshops for researchers and educators is underway. These workshops facilitate the creation of mini-lessons which are learning materials that repurpose data and resources developed through MARGINS for use in examining earth processes in undergraduate classrooms from a multidisciplinary perspective.
Shaping the Future of Geoscience Education Research: Synthesizing Results and Articulating Future Directions
Project PIs: Heather Macdonald, College of William & Mary; Anthony Feig, Central Michigan University; Laura Lukes, George Mason University; Karen McNeal, North Carolina State University; Eric Riggs,Texas A & M University; Kristen St. John, James Madison University; Nicole LaDue, Northern Illinois University
The 2014-15 project aimed to investigate the current status of geoscience education research (GER), building on recent reports on Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER). It supported a collaborative effort by the geoscience education research community to identify and synthesize the accomplishments, results, and claims of GER, to compile an annotated list of methods used in such research, and to recommend future research directions and ways to support such efforts.
We also explored how we could translate research results into practice and how we could use practitioner wisdom and experience to inform research. A workshop at the 2015 Earth Educator's Rendezvous, virtual opportunities before, during, and after the workshop, and the website supported community-wide engagement. The project provided a focus on the current status and future directions of GER and ultimately, as research translates into practice, in shaping undergraduate geoscience education at the individual, institutional, and national level.
Starting Point: Teaching Entry Level Geoscience
Project PIs: Cathy Manduca (Carleton College), Mary Savina (Carleton College), and Dorothy Merritts (Franklin & Marshall College)The Starting Point project is exploring the ability of on-line resources to catalyze improvements in undergraduate teaching. The goal is to develop a resource that intimately integrates pedagogy with teaching resources and fully supports a virtual community of educators.
Workshop on Atmospheric Science and Climate Literacy
Project PIs: Roberta Johnson (UCAR)The goal of the workshop is to develop a consensus framework for enhancing atmospheric science and climate literacy in our nation that is informed by the participation of teachers, scientists, informal educators, policy makers, and parents. The workshop will build on the work of numerous organizations and subgroups that have sought to define standards and benchmarks for science education in general and, more specifically, to identify key concepts and linkages among weather, climate, and ocean literacy. A consensus framework will be drafted during the workshop and will be revised based upon further review and feedback from participants in meetings of the nation's leading goescience and science education societies, such as AGU, AMS, NSTA. As a result of broad community involvement, the framework will establish a foundation on which decision makers may more effectively shape the nation's priorities and strategies for research and education and prepare a diverse population of scientists to serve our atmospheric and climate endeavors for decades to come.
Mars For Earthlings (MFE)
Project PIs: Marjorie Chan (University of Utah)Mars for Earthlings (MFE) is an integrated introductory geology with Mars planetary science course. Students will access, analyze and utilize Mars data to further understand geologic laws, principles, and processes. The target audiences are undergraduates seeking to fulfill their general science education requirements and/or STEM declared undergraduate majors. The goal, however, is to make all lesson modules accessible on the SERC website and NASA-SMD workspace for geoscience educators to use in their own courses. Content will leverage heavily on Mars-analog studies and lab/inquiry-style learning.
Web-based Interactive Landform Simulation (WILSIM)
Project PI: Wei Luo, Northern Illinois UniversityWILSIM is an educational tool that helps undergraduate students understand how landscapes evolve under different scenarios. The site includes a pre-test, post-test, and a user survey to evaluate how well the simulator achieve its goals.
Transforming Geoscience Preparation for K-8 Pre-Service Teachers
Project PI: Tim Flood (St. Norbert College)This project is designed to synthesize content, process and pedagogy for K-8 pre-service teachers by integrating two existing courses, Introduction to Geology GEOL 105, and Science Methods EDUC 285. The two courses (4-credits each) will become a yearlong (8 credit course). A continuum of "learning earth science" and "how to teach earth science" will be the classroom focus. This same integration will occur in the laboratory portion. In addition to learning skills and problem solving techniques, students will develop methods of how to teach these concepts. Finally, a model, four-day intensive field course will be tested. If significant, it will become a required component to the education curriculum.
Geoscience Teachers in Parks
The Geoscience Teachers in Parks (GTIP) program program was a collaborative effort between NAGT and the National Park Service to provide professional development for K12 teachers of geoscience. The objective of the program was to provide teachers with new avenues of teaching. Elementary, middle school, and high school teachers of geoscience, as well as recent graduates who were prospective geoscience teachers were eligible to take part in the program. Interns completed 200 hours of work and submitted a report in exchange for a stipend. Interns worked alongside park scientists to monitor and determine the effects of climate change within the park. In the process, they strengthened their professional networks and enlarged the selection of resources available with which to teach their students. Examples of internship products and the intern photo gallery are still available to the public.
Project Kaleidoscope (PKAL): Mobilizing Disciplinary Societies on Behalf of our Students ... and our Planet
Project PIs: Susan Elrod (AACU) and Cathy MIddlecamps (University of Wisconsin - Madison)
Project Kaleidoscope, Mobilizing STEM Education for a Sustainable Future, and the Disciplinary Associations Network for Sustainability (DANS) are joining expertise on behalf of students to increase their learning in undergraduate STEM courses, and better prepare them for the real-world 21st century "Big Questions" that relate to real-world issues such as energy, air and water quality, and climate change.
Big Questions, as defined in the Liberal Education and America's Promise (LEAP) initiative of the AAC&U, are those of value, fundamental, and enduring, that have "vexed human beings down through the ages." Big Questions directly connect to sustainability, how we live our lives, the choices we make, and our obligations to other people and to the natural world. We are promoting undergraduate STEM courses that: 1) provide more knowledge about real-world issues (e.g. energy, water, air quality, climate change); 2) connect these real-world issues to the concepts of sustainability; 3) offer students opportunities to analyze and implement choices that can help solve societal problems so they are better able to act on their choices both immediately and as future citizens and professionals.
To accomplish this work, we will engage, support, and connect with a select group of disciplinary societies in strategic ways that leverage their membership, programs and influence.

Thanks !
Maths and I are not lovers thats for sure ! I spent my teenage years on your side of the Atlantic where the pot was plentiful and cheep...and the girls loved my accent..... Boy, I regret it now .
I found a parts list here on the site with the Digikey stock number on it . Digikey use the same stock number here in their UK ..... I'm hoping my heat sinks are big enough to expand some day, especially as the top and bottom plate will be made from (anodised) 3mm St Steel . and the rear panel 2mm copper . I have those heat sinks from my little hick up . I could use one for the front plate . its looking kind of cool also . I have also found a recipe for a thermal epoxy home brew . I have all kinds of metallic powders I can use , but bronze seems to be the best option , So 1:1 ratio ( mix ) join the side sinks to the front one and I'll be able to store ice cream in it . Rich |

I got my Digikey order this morning and thought it would be a good idea to read what each item does within the circuit as I populate the boards. TIA |

Thank you Russell ,
I have the grease . I used the epoxy to join the heatsinks together ... The zxt 450 I ordered have different lead dimensions than my PCB ... are they useless ? I was full of confidence. This is going to be a lot more difficult than I thought ... Rich |

slide a tube insulator over the middle leg of the ZTX. Look carefully at the ZTX datasheet and determine which leg goes into which hole of the PCB. Form the legs into the arrangement needed and drop it in. Check you have no shorts even if the transistor body gets abused/moved at some time in the future. Solder it in place.

Hi Rich,
from your first post I assume that you are building an Aleph 30. I don't know whether a construction guide for this amp is available. But anyway, I have some hopefully useful links for you: For help in the correct identification of the ZTX legs (also in comparison to equivalent parts) and general assembly hints see cviller's F5 guide: http://viller.eu/audio/2009jan_gbf5/gbf5_guide.pdf You might also have a look at this F1 assembly guide for getting an overview on how to organize the building process: F1 DIY Amp Hope this helps Last edited by heinz1; 15th October 2010 at 02:21 AM. |

We had a wonderful road trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The drive was really pretty. I love road trips in the United States....the journey is almost as good as the destination. I tried to take as many back roads as possible, and the payoff was great as we had some amazing scenery driving through the foothills of Tennessee. We stayed at a really nice hotel just above the town of Gatlinburg, and had a great time wandering around, shopping, and taking long walks.

Beautiful image!
I love Tennessee, especially the southeastern part.
Have you been to Dollywood? We all enjoyed it immensely. I remember fondly the fried green tomatoes sold in a little shop (actually a window!) in the craft section of the park. The rides are family friendly and old-fashioned in the most beautiful way. - 8:04 PM

Abstract: | The need for coordination among scientific and policy activities is an old debate in which respective communities have often confronted their views rather than reflecting on concrete solutions. In the last few years, however, constructive exchanges have taken place in the context of expert groups linked to the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and related EU funded research projects, which have resulted in a better understanding of communication and knowledge transfer gaps. These exchanges concern not only the way research is being interfaced with water policies, but also how improved coordination could be organised regarding technical specifications linked to standardisation. This paper discusses on-going efforts to improve coordination among research, standardisation and policy in support of WFD implementation, with emphasis on chemical monitoring requirements. |

A poor young couple demonstrates the meaning of love and self-sacrifice in the Christmas Classic, "The Gift of the Magi". Also included is "The Last Leaf". This tale follows a young woman artist who is stricken with pneumonia. She watches the leafy vine opposite her window with hollow eyes, and she determines to stay alive until the last leaf falls. O. Henry, always a master with the surprise ending, delivers two fine tales of his beloved New York City.

"classic greatness"
The vice of magi is one of the greatest classics ever written. I was so pleased to find it in audio form.
The Magi is an old familiar fable I've heard many times in one form or another . The Last Leaf is new to me. I enjoyed both shorts; each with its own unique characters , storyline and outcome. I now will be searching for more O. Henry material. As usual, B. J. Harrison does an excellent job of narrative.
"Great short stories"
These were my first pieces by O Henry and I enjoyed them both. Good narrator.

The Home Secretary John Reid today vowed there will be no "no-go areas" in Britain in the efforts to tackle extremism.
A week after his efforts to connect with British Muslims were hijacked by radical hecklers in East London he said he would not be "brow-beaten" by extremist "bullies".
His visit to Waltham Forest was his first, but would not be his last, as he insisted there would be "no compromise with terrorism".
And with continued speculation about his possible intentions to stand against Gordon Brown to become the next party leader, he told delegates he would play his "full part" in any future Labour victory, adding: "When one of us succeeds, the others don't fail. We share in that success."
His wish list for the party was very short - a fourth term of a Labour government.
In an impassioned address on countering terrorism he told delegates: " If we in this movement are going to ask the decent, silent majority of Muslim men and women to have the courage to face down the extremist bullies, then we need to have the courage and character to stand shoulder to shoulder with them doing it.
"So when the terrorists or their loud-mouth advocates of terrorism sympathisers tell me that we won't be allowed to raise our arguments in this or that part of the community, my answer is simple:
"Yes we will. This is Britain, There are, and will be, no 'no-go areas' in our country for any of our people, whatever their background, colour or creed. We will go wherever we please, we will discuss what we like and we will never be brow beaten by bullies. That's what it means to be British," he told the party conference in Manchester.
To rapturous applause he went on: "And let's be clear. It cannot be right that the rights of individual suspected terrorist be placed above the rights, life and limb of the British people. It's wrong. Full stop. No ifs, no buts. It's just plain wrong."
Mr Reid said he was "genuinely saddened" by Tory leader David Cameron's stance on law and order, repeating the accusation they "talk tough and vote soft".
"We must have the courage of our convictions. This is a time for standing up for what we believe. And I mean all of us - irrespective of party affiliation. I want to see the widest, deepest, national alliance.
"I am genuinely saddened by the response of the Opposition. I understand that David Cameron has not been in post long. But he has to be capable of making some decisions.
"That's what leadership is all about. There are some issues so serious, so rooted in the very fibre of our national values that we need to make the hard choices now.
"David Cameron may find that those who wait too long to see which the wind is blowing, get blown away by the gale.
"They are too lacking in leadership. But if they won't lead, they will."
Tony Blair had asked him to review Britain's counter terrorist capacity in the light of August's alleged airline bomb plot.
"We agree that we need a radical step change to ensure that there is a seamless co-ordinated approach to the now seamless threat.
"This is not a clash of civilisations. It's not Muslims versus the rest of us. It's evil terrorists on one side against all civilised people on the other."
He also vowed to put respect "back at the heart of our communities".
"I believe in a Britain where there is no compromise with terrorism, where immigration is managed fairly, where rights are matched with responsibilities, where policing is based in communities - visible, accessible, responsive."
And he pledged the flagship Community Payback Scheme would produce "simple, swift justice".
"So, if people ruin our community they are going to have to put it right themselves.
"And why shouldn't violent offenders pay towards the healthcare costs of their victims?"

(Grilled Spicy Marinated Chicken)
Leave a Review
Made this again and marinated 48 hours--so much better than just one overnight if you can plan ahead--the meat was incredibly juicy and flavorful. I also switched to all drumsticks for a better surface flavor-to-interior meat ratio.
This chicken turned out very well despite a last-minute switch of cooking techniques when the rainy weather ruined my grilling plans for my already-marinated chicken. I roasted the chicken (all thighs) on a wire rack above a sheet pan at 350 F for about an hour (flipping midway), followed by broiling 2 minutes on each side to brown up the skin. They turned out lovely--moist and flavorful inside with nice crisp exterior. The one other change I made was substituting 4 jalapenos for the scotch bonnets since I couldn't find either scotch bonnets or habaneros locally. Went well with rice and beans as a side dish.
I've made this recipe more times than I can count. This is OUTSTANDING as it is. But if you really want to impress your Jamaican friends, double the Scotch Bonnets and leave the seeds in. DO NOT reduce the allspice, and for an additional touch, add a tbsp of Molasses. Be careful when you BBQ to use low heat and/or keep chicken far from flame as this marinade burns easily. And for the most authentic flavor to really make this beyond incredible, use a smoker to cook the chicken. This is a winner, and has every Jamaican I ever served it to smiling.
We made this for the first time this weekend. This recipe rocks. Excellent blend of spices, heat and crisp skin. Spicy, yet not too "hot". We marinated it for 24 hours, dont skimp on the marinade time. This will definatetly be a keeper in our summer recipe file.
I've made this recipe several times over the years for different people and get the same rave reviews. The only thing I do differently is I bake it in all the sauce instead of grilling it. The sauce whips together easily. Very little hands on time with this dish. You can definitely up the peppers and still keep the heat palatable. I highly recommend allowing 2-3 days for marinating. The meat comes out so flavorful and moist. I usually serve this with plain rice and either sweet potatoes, squash or pan fried sweet plantains. Excellent recipe!
This was great! I made exactly as in the recipe, except that I baked and used all thighs. Not as spicy as I feared after reading the Scoville numbers on Scotch bonnets; I'll pop it up some next time. I served with a rice and black bean "salad" (and some carrots). Had a 2nd dinner by mixing shredded leftover chicken with the rice and black bean salad, and with corn kernels mixed in. Was two days later, and anyway felt more like a new recipe than leftovers.
I made this marinade last night. I had a jar of Jerk Sauce brought back from Jamaica on hand to compare it to. The jar was more salty, but otherwise this is dead on. Plus some points for the freshness versus the jar.
I used this marinade to make chicken wings for a neighborhood "Tropic al Winter" theme party. I was surprised at how green the marinade was (due to the scallion), but it turned the expected brown during cooking. Rather than grill the wings, I baked them according to the method given in the Gourmet 1991 recipe for Jerk Chicken Wings (450F oven for 30-35 min). Flavor was exactly what I was after - and recieved compliment after compliment from the guests. I will definitely be repeating this in the summer on the grill!
this recipe is simply outstanding. I do use 4 habaneros with the seeds and a tablespoon of molasses and marinate the chicken for two days. just BBQ it slow over low heat otherwise it will burn. it is incredible
OUTSTANDING! I cook this recipe for Jamaicans and they all want to buy my sauce. I have taken the advice of previous reviews and double the Scotch Bonnets, plus add a tablespoon of molasses. This sauce is just incredible

Fact corner

- SIL-code: Ethnologue:nya

Nyanja is a language of the Bantu language family widely spoken in south-central Africa. Nyanja is one of the two official national languages of the Republic of Malawi, the other being English, and as Nyanja is one of the seven official tribal languages of Zambia, where it is spoken mostly in the Eastern Province. It is also spoken in Mozambique, especially in the provinces of Tete and Niassa, as well as in Zimbabwe where, according to some estimates, it ranks as the third most widely used local language, after Shona? and Ndebele.
The verb
The verb consists of a stem which normally doesn't change, and a pronoun-prefix which varies with the subject.
- Infinitives all start with "ku-"; for example, "to eat" is "kudya, and "to go" is kupita.
- Multisyllabic verbs in Nyanja are modified in tense, number, person, and form by prefixes, infixes, and/or suffixes.
- "I will go" is ndizapita: "ndi-" is the first person singular, "-za-" is the (future) tense, and "-pita" is go, as before.
- The negative form of verbs is formed by "si-" or "sa-"; "I will not go" is sindizapita.
- Rude imperatives are easy: the verb root will suffice. For example, Pita! will send a person off.
- Adding the suffix "-ni" makes the command more polite, and the additional addition of "-ko" makes it particularly polite. Pitaniko -- "please go, please" -- might be used when pleading with a chief to go to an important meeting.

I love V-8! But to be honest I love V-8 as a base for my daily breakfast soup and not as a cold drink. In fact I do not like V-8 cold. Now that I have shared another quirky trait I have, I better share my new found recipe for V-8.
1 can tomato sauce
3 cups water
2 peeled carrots diced
2 celery stalks diced
1/4 cup fresh parsley
3 radishes diced
1/4 cup chopped onion
8 fresh spinach leaves chopped
2 cups tomato juice
salt and pepper to taste
Mix the tomato sauce and 3 cups water together. Add the remainder ingredients together.
That was the recipe I had~ so I had to plot out what next- so I decided to slowly bring the mix together to a boil. Once boiling I reduced the heat for five minutes to low. Strain the juice(if you have chickens or compost-save the veggies) and you are done.
The juice is now ready for Jennifer's breakfast. I mix V-8(or veggie-6) together with 1 cup red beans and 1 cup kidney beans. For lunch I usually add 1/2 cup of rice to the soup. It last three to four days...and I love it. Oh and for the above recipe I used the entire tomato sauce/water that I mixed together.
There is no need to explain how healthy this is for you. Remember it is not about dieting but modifying your life to eat and enjoy the healthy things in life.
When I use the canned V-8 it has 46 oz(1.36 L) and it last for three to four days. Traditional American breakfast consist of cereal for the children, once we began living more simple, I assessed the cost of the cereal(first) then the nutrition. Funny when we could afford to shop without budgets I never looked at the nutrition. Now I realize how unhealthy cereal is as a morning start. My gang is not big on my soup morning mix. They are usually an oatmeal or arroz con leche crowd!
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.
You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

Sorry, no etymologies found.
Gen. James Livingston accepted the star-shaped decorations Friday from Thomas at a reception in the Congressional
If you had some fabric like this, and wanted to be more creative with it, you could choose star-shaped, silver or white buttons for it, to match the stars.
But how did this explain the impressive-looking star-shaped medal that Auntie Marian had kept in the family treasure box?
NL, the people who brought you the Citadel floating apartment complex and these amazing floating homes, the renderings for the amphibious mini-cities appear depict star-shaped, tiered islands with indoor spaces hidden under lush green-roof terraces, complete with interior pools and beaches.
The children had short, mosslike hair with tiny star-shaped flowers.
Most likely, they were interested in the stuff that was being sold as shuriken (which would likely be the star-shaped things, probably of stamped metal or something equally cheap).
Inside was a small star-shaped medal attached to a pale blue ribbon.
During the cocktail hour foie gras, steak on star-shaped potatoes, crab salad, orchestral music played while guests showed off their gowns.
Table settings included Colonial-style silverware and, for a contrasting sense of playfulness, loose bouquets of American flowers, reminiscent of the prairie—white garden roses, blue hydrangea, star-shaped tweedia, thistle.
They were there visiting Officer Matthew Walters , who they said suffered a cut to the hand when a protester threw a star-shaped glass object at police.

Unsworth, Simon, Kurt, The Devil's Detective
Default Title - $15.95
Debut novelist Simon Kurt Unsworth sends the detective novel to Hell. In
The Devil's Detective
, a sea change is coming to Hell . . . and a man named Thomas Fool is caught in the middle.
Thomas Fool is an Information Man, an investigator tasked with cataloging and filing reports on the endless stream of violence and brutality that flows through Hell. His job holds no reward or satisfaction, because Hell has rules but no justice. Each new crime is stamped "Do Not Investigate" and dutifully filed away in the depths of the Bureaucracy. But when an important political delegation arrives and a human is found murdered in a horrific manner—extravagant even by Hell's standards—everything changes. The murders escalate, and their severity points to the kind of killer not seen for many generations. Something is challenging the rules and order of Hell, so the Bureaucracy sends Fool to identify and track down the killer. . . . But how do you investigate murder in a place where death is common currency? Or when your main suspect pool is a legion of demons? With no memory of his past and only an irresistible need for justice, Fool will piece together clues and follow a trail that leads directly into the heart of a dark and chaotic conspiracy. A revolution is brewing in Hell . . . and nothing is what it seems.
The Devil's Detective
is an audacious, highly suspenseful thriller set against a nightmarish and wildly vivid world. Simon Kurt Unsworth has created a phantasmagoric thrill ride filled with stunning set pieces and characters that spring from our deepest nightmares. It will have readers of both thrillers and horror hanging on by their fingernails until the final word. In Hell, hope is your worst enemy.
