- Annie in Austin
- Welcome! As "Annie in Austin" I blog about gardening in Austin, TX with occasional looks back at our former gardens in Illinois. My husband Philo & I also make videos - some use garden images as background for my original songs, some capture Austin events & sometimes we share videos of birds in our garden. Come talk about gardens, movies, music, genealogy and Austin at the Transplantable Rose and listen to my original songs on YouTube. For an overview read Three Gardens, Twenty Years. Unless noted, these words and photos are my copyrighted work.

Blooms of Late December
Today those packages have reached their destinations, we're almost ready for Christmas and who needs the oven to keep warm when the thermometer reads 69F?
Time for the Solstice T-shirt designed by my son, a few garden tools and a camera
I'd found ranunculus bulbs in a bargain bin on a recent trip to the big box hardware. I'd already planted bags of mixed colors, but these were pink and destined for the Pink Entrance Garden. The chart on the package showed planting in zone 8 as October to December, giving me just a few more days to get them into the ground. My new Diamond Hoe was still shiny and unused - trying it out was a good reason to go outside. Soon the bulbs were planted and the diamond hoe worked exactly the way it was supposed to in the parking strip.
Instead of another session with the leaf rake, I'd rather take notice of the flowers today. After a couple of freezes the survivors are the tiny flowers - white oxalis buried in pecan leaves
Creeping phlox in the front bed
Deep rose Gaura unstoppable in the Pink entrance garden
Seedlings of cilantro and larkspur sprouting near starts of Lunaria
Cold changed the roses- magenta tones appeared on the buds of the Mutabilis rose
Cold deepened the pink of 'Belinda's Dream'
and turned 'Julia Child' buds from butter yellow to orange sherbet
The coral honeysuckle still holds on to old leaves turned yellow even as new leaves and buds unfold. The hummingbirds are long gone - they'll never sip from these flowers and the goldfinches aren't interested in nectar.
The floweriest part of the garden is on the north side of the shed
The stems of the paperwhites Narcissus flopped down in the cold, but most of the individual blossoms remain intact
Only a few flowers of Camellia sasanqua 'Shishi Gashira' are left to drop rosy petals
But the new Camellia japonica 'Morning Glow' is just now beginning to bloom - two flowers are open today.
How odd to live in a place where something like this blooms for Christmas!
However you celebrate, Dear Friends, may your days be merry and bright.

Annie, I want that white Camellia! How gorgeous is that! Thanks for your post, informative for me as always. Hmmm, when can I plant a camellia?ReplyDelete
So nice to see blooms still in your garden Annie! Happy Holidays to you and your family!ReplyDelete
Happy Holidays, Annie!!!ReplyDelete
(Btw, I adore that gorgeous white camellia... and the puffed-up birdie is too cute.)
Best wishes for a happy new year to you and yours... :)

Hi Annie, thanks for showing these cheering flowers and the fluffy goldfinch, with a little Humphrey thrown in for good measure! Those camellias are a wonder, no matter where you live, the white one is fabulous. Your cookies were well received, I'm sure. Love the design of the t shirt. May you have the most wonderful of holidays. :-)ReplyDelete
Happy Holidays!ReplyDelete
Merry Christmas to you too, Annie. That camellia is gorgeous, a perfect Xmas bloom.ReplyDelete
I don't know which I like better, Annie, those gorgeous camellias or your son's t-shirt design! Here's wishing you a peaceful and joyful holiday with those you hold dear.ReplyDelete
I'm so envious of all the beautiful flowers you have in your garden, Annie. Especially, the Camellia, the state flower of my home state, Alabama, which makes me even more homesick.ReplyDelete
I want to wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years.
The whole shrub was $11, Robin Get Grounded, and it's planted in a container. Even if it turns out to be a temporary resident this was an affordable & portable indulgence. Go for it!ReplyDelete
Happy Holidays to you and yours, too, Garden Girl -hope there's snow if you want some!
Thank you, Blackswamp Kim- my husband liked the bird's expression...hope your holidays are great.
It's lovely to see you, Frances/FaireGarden- should have guessed you'd be a Bogart fan! The rosy pink one is pleasing, but the white one really got to me...maybe it will survive Texas. A merry & bright Christmas to you, too.
Thanks, Tabor - are you snow-covered now?
I thought of you when it opened, Pam/Digging - imagining you as a child growing up with camellias in bloom. Happy Christmas to all the family.
Hi Jodi-Bloomingwriter- those are beautiful wishes - may they be true for you, too!
Oh, Carolyn Gail - I can see how you'd be homesick for a place with flowers in December! Now we have flowers but miss the people in Chicago and the beauty of the city.
Merry Christmas to you and your family- hope you have fun being Grandma!
Merry Christmas Annie. It was wonderful seeing a few blooms at this time of year. So very cheerful. I have always thought of Camillias as roses. Their blooms reminds me of some old fashioned roses. Now I will think of them as Christmas flowers. Blessings to you and your family.ReplyDelete
So nice to see all these lovely blooms at this time of year, Annie! No white Christmas here--just rain, rain, and more rain, creating a brown, soggy mess instead. But at least I don't have to worry about icy roads preventing family from coming over to celebrate.ReplyDelete
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
How lovely your blooms are! I am seriously digging that Solstice Tshirt, that's definitely my kind of humor. Merry Christmas & best wishes for the New Year!ReplyDelete
Love that white camellia! I hope you have a great Christmas, Annie.ReplyDelete
Always Growing
How wonderful to still have so many blooms in your garden. Happy Christmas to you and P.ReplyDelete
Annie, I hope you and Philo have had a Christmas season as beautiful as that white Camellia. May 2010 be a great year for you and yours!ReplyDelete
Yes, it would seem quite odd to me, too, to have all those blooms in my December garden. Here the 1st paperwhite opened inside, appropriately enough on Christmas Day. Your camellia is beautiful... one wonders if you cut it to take inside to enjoy?ReplyDelete
So many beautiful flowers in your garden right now. Merry Christmas my friend. So glad I got to know you in 2008 and that we continue our friendship over blogging and twitter.~~DeeReplyDelete
Your white Camelia is as beautiful as any white Christmas! My hubby bought me Paperwhites for Christmas and I'll think of you when they bloom :)ReplyDelete
How lucky you are to still have Gaura in flower, and all the other dainty blooms...not to mention roses!
I hope you and your family had a wonderful and very merry Christmas, Annie. Wishing you a happy New Year which includes many delightful days spent in your beautiful garden.
Let me add my wishes, albeit them belated, for a delightful holiday. I can't help but smile and think that Julia Child would love your description of her rose "butter yellow to orange sherbet"! Happy New Year to you and Philo. gailReplyDelete
Happy Holidays to you too Annie. Your table filled with cookies looked wonderful - and yes, isn't it strange (but just spectacular!) to have such flowers blooming in December? Thank God(s) for the Camellias!! I hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday (and the solstice t-shirt is great!).ReplyDelete
I hope you had a happy holiday and wish you the best of new years! Thanks for the look at your blooms...my bloom day post sits unfinished in draft form!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your lovely December blooms, Annie. I can certainly understand why that finch looks so happy hanging out in your garden. Happy New Year to you and yours!ReplyDelete
I always love your holiday posts. Your home is so warm and cozy. I, too, watched Casablanca during holiday prep, and adore all the WWII movies. And guess what: Santa brought me the Rex Stout biography! Happy New Year. Thank you for all the joy and kindness you've brought our way this year.ReplyDelete

How lucky you are to live in a place where there are still a few blooms deep in December!ReplyDelete
I love, love, love the T-shirt! Happy New Year!! :)ReplyDelete
I don't make a habit of reading other peoples posts, but while scrolling down I saw a whole lotta what I was thinking...Great, great T-Shirt...I wish I had one!ReplyDelete
I can't believe you have all those blooms still...I'm afraid to go outside and look in my garden! It's been too cold and I am sick to death of the brown...
Happy New Year Annie!
After this cold weekend I'm glad the photos are on the blog, Lisa at Greenbow- not sure the remaining Camellia buds will open ;-[ReplyDelete
Happy New Year, Prairie Rose- looks like you are really in the deep freeze now so drive safe!
I'm glad you liked the shirt too, Mr McGregor's Daughter - and unlike shirts with ornaments & snowmen...this one is good TWICE a year!
Happy New Year to you, Jan - guess this cold snap means we'll both be buying plants to fill in blank spots in a couple of months.
Happy New YearLancashire Jenny -it was fun while it lasted and spring will come.
Hi Cindy McMorris Tournier - I fell hard for that camellia and would do it again. Likewise wishing you in Katy a Happy 2010!
Ah, how wonderful it must be to walk into that famous garden room in the middle of January, MayDreams Carol - and I did cut a couple of them for a flower bowl. No real scent, but lovely.
Two weeks later it's a different world, Dee of Red Dirt - glad you saw them before the big freeze and extra glad we met in person!
Happy New 2010 Kerri - enjoy the paperwhites, hug that DH and may this year bring many happy flowery days to you and yours.
The story is that Julia selected this one from a group of roses in development just because it looked like butter. I hope the story is true, Gail - don't you? Best wishes for a terrific 2010 to you, too.
Thanks Leslie - happy 2010 to you! Did you at least take a few photos for the undone bloom day? Even when I don't actually make a post... the photos help me remember what was going on.
Happy New Year to you, Renee/Renee's Roots - it's been fun to meet you in person after reading your AAS columns - Happy gardening!
Your comments mean a great deal to me, Linda of Central Texas Gardener- wow- we both watched Casablanca pre-holiday? Let us know how that Rex Stout biography is. The Nero Wolfe books were so much fun and oh, what a tremendous crush I had on Archie Goodwin. Happy 2010!
Hello Ms Robin - yes, it was lovely right around Christmas - but the poor flowers are frozen now - record low temperatures this weekend have changed things!
Happy New Year, Beth - think you'd like my son & daughter-in-law....dangerous sense of humor, those two.
Thanks for making an exception ;-]
My son has the shirt on Cafe Press, Conscious Gardener - it's pretty cool, I think.
But as to what's still out there after this weekend? Think it will take a while to even assess the damage. This would be a good week to buy a flowering indoor plant, wouldn't it?
Thanks for all the comments,
Hi Rose,ReplyDelete
I came back to tell you I think it got down to -14, not as cold as they thought it may, and I don't think it broke a record. We are warming up to highs in the 30s, this week and by Saturday, 41 for the high is predicted. We're looking forward to that!
I enjoyed reading this post. Your son's shirt design is cool. I'm wondering how these pretty flowers fared in your cold temps. I hope you area warming up, too.
I bought a bag of tangerines, and one of oranges today, thinking the supply may be going down soon.
Fourteen-below is still plenty cold, Sue! That was about the point in IL where the forsythia buds would freeze off so we'd have only leaves. Glad you have 40's in the forecast and good hunting at the grocery store.ReplyDelete
great blog. The camellia pictures are beautiful. I have few tries with ranunculus still waiting the results! :-)ReplyDelete
A comment from you is like chocolate - maybe I could live without it, but life is more fun with it. I'll try to answer. If someone else's comment piques your interest, please feel free to talk among yourselves.

Guest Editor, Stacey Duguid is no stranger to dressing for Fashion Week, and this season she talks us through four key looks from our SS15 collection that embody the Fashion Editor's 'uniform' and perfectly capture the mood and style of each city.
About the Shoot
Fashion month is upon us and with it brings a flurry of excitement and anticipation for the season ahead. Throughout her career in the industry, Reiss Guest Editor, Stacey Duguid has perfected the art of dressing for the event. Choosing four very different – but equally relevant – looks from our SS15 collection, she talks us through her personal style and how it varies from New York to Paris and everywhere in between.
'I have a go-to 'uniform' in terms of colour, shape and styles that I know suit me' she says – a statement that's reflected in outfit choices for the approaching month. From sharply tailored separates to languid calf-skimming silhouettes, each look conveys the mood of the city for which it's been chosen. 'London is fun and has an anything-goes attitude. Milan is all business, important advertiser dinners and meetings. There is always a lot of parties in New York and Paris has so many inspiring shows.'
Stacey's must-have fashion week items include her phone, twitter and instagram ('I like to stay connected!') and her fantasy front row would feature; Diana Vreeland, Linda Evangelista, Maya Angelou, Debbie Harry, Viv Albertine, Kim Gordon, Anna Wintour and Hilary Clinton ('if this lot were in the room nobody would care what came down the catwalk.')
From the arctic climes and busy streets of New York City to the hint of spring and romantic boulevards in Paris, Stacey Duguid's considered ensembles epitomise city-appropriate dressing. Classic and trend-led pieces seamlessly combine to create an effortlessly chic aesthetic that feels fresh and right for now. Visit the Reiss blog for more details of Stacey's Fashion Month edit.

A moment closure model has been developed to model fuel-bound NO formation in a turbulent pulverized coal flame in a furnace. The effect of turbulence on combustion is accounted for by solving transport equations of fluctuating species correlations arising due to turbulent fluctuations. Correlation between fluctuating species concentration and fluctuating temperature is neglected. The predicted results show reasonable overall agreement with experimental data.

Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, is a big problem in Huntington's disease (HD), but surprisingly little is known about it. It is not known how early it begins, or how symptoms and swallowing dysfunction progress over the stages of HD. Further, even less is known about techniques that might prevent, alleviate or treat it. As such, we welcome the recent attention given this symptom by investigators from Europe.
What are the symptoms of swallowing difficulty? After an earlier extensive review of studies relating to swallowing difficulty in HD, investigators from Denmark developed a scale for measuring the level of swallowing difficulty a person with HD experiences [Heemskerk AW 2014]. As part of this study, they identified several important characteristics:
- Drooling during the day
- A sensation of too much food in the mouth to swallow
- Food coming out of the mouth while eating
- Food or liquids coming out the nose while eating
- Choking on solids or liquids
- Coughing or sneezing while eating solids or liquids
- Suddenly taking a breath while swallowing
- Food coming back into mouth after a swallow
- Feeling a lump in the back of throat
What are the physical problems that cause swallowing difficulty in HD? Experts break down the swallowing problems into separate parts:
- Preparatory Phase: Getting food from plate to utensil to mouth includes correct bite size and pace of eating. Chorea and impaired fine motor skills interfere with the mechanics of of food delivery, making it harder to control bite size and the pace of eating so that "gulping" occurs. A care partner who cues or assists in feeding is essential.
- Oral phase: Main problems include chorea of the tongue, and uncoordinated movement of food to the back of the throat. There is delay in starting the swallow, repeating of the swallow, or food left in the mouth after the swallow. Food consistency in each bite is important; a bowl of cereal is a set up for choking because the liquid may get to the back of the throat faster than the solid. Placing softer food in the cheek by the molars helps overcome the slowness of propelling food to the back of the throat. Starting the meal with something sour may help speed subsequent swallows. A "chin tuck" position of the neck is probably preferred for protecting against aspiration.
- Pharyngeal: Choking, coughing, aspiration: Small bites, thickened liquids, softer moist foods, progressing to smashed, then pureed consistencies. Part of this is due to "respiratory" chorea, which causes breathing during a swallow.
- Esophageal: Regurgitation of food, or vomiting. There is also evidence of muscle dysfunction in the esophagus that may cause pain. It is important to stay upright for at least an hour after eating.
Should a formal swallowing study be done? At least in this doctor/author's opinion if that study will not change a diagnosis, or what I recommend for a patient, I don't think it should be done.
Important other considerations:
Limiting distractions during mealtime is vital. This means no TV, no phone, no difficult conversations. Safe eating requires concentration. And as such, eating can be exhausting. More time is required because the eating process is slowed. Frequent small meals can be helpful.
Many medications used for
Huntington's cause worsening of swallowing. Antipsychotic drugs
(like Haldol® or Zyprexa®) and Xenazine®
(tetrabenazine) are frequent culprits. Alcohol, or any drug
that causes sedation can interfere with the concentration needed
for more safe eating practices. A trial of tapering doses of these
drugs may improve swallowing.
What to do when swallowing difficulty becomes severe: In this situation, there is often fear of choking, which in itself is a significant distraction. At this stage of disease, individuals are often receiving palliative and hospice care services; this doctor/author has found that providing small doses of oral morphine prior to a meal can decrease both the anxiety and frequency of choking, and prolong the time that a person can enjoy eating.
What about feeding tubes? No matter how vigilant the caretaker, swallowing difficulty will progress to not being able to swallow at all. Is the next step a feeding tube? Though there are no studies done specifically in HD, we can learn from studies in other diseases. In a landmark study of 339 individuals with advanced dementia residing in nursing homes [Mitchell SL 2009], feeding tubes did not prolong life, did not prevent aspiration, and did not improve function or comfort. Feeding tubes were associated with more agitation and more skin sores. Based on this study, the American Geriatric Society officially recommends against placement of a feeding tube in this situation. In this same study, those individuals who received enhanced oral feeding, one on one in a calm environment with between meal supplements lived longer and more comfortably. Though not all studies agree, there is more evidence that feeding tubes do not prolong life even in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)[Heffernan C 2004].
There is no study to give us guidance regarding feeding tubes specific for HD. End of life choices should always be discussed with the patient and family, and education given on the potential for benefit or risk and then be based on personal preference of the individual.

Volunteers gathered in the South Bay Saturday morning to look for a teenager almost exactly four years after she disappeared.
Sierra LaMar, 15, was last seen on March 16, 2012, leaving her house in unincorporated Morgan Hill.
A suspect Antolin Garcia-Torres has been charged with murdering and kidnapping LaMar, whose body has yet to be found.
Torres has been indicted by a grand jury for LaMar's death. His capital murder trial is scheduled to begin next month.
On Saturday, roughly two dozen volunteers dressed in brightly colored clothes and safety vests flocked to Eastman Canyon and Uvas Roads in Santa Clara County at 9:15 a.m.
The purpose of Saturday's search was to find possible areas where LaMar may have been left, search coordinator Roger Nelson told the group. Warning searchers of poison oak and ticks, he also asked them not to dig, but instead to tag their findings.
Before setting off on the search, which Nelson estimated would last between two and two-and-a-half hours, the group huddled and then shouted, "Find Sierra!"
"The family appreciates you showing up today," Nelson said.
As of Saturday afternoon, nothing had turned up in the search.

Detroit is the largest city in the state of Michigan. As a business and financial center, the city offers a great deal of shopping possibilities. The most obvious options are malls and shopping centers, and the Downtown area and shopping districts.
The best shopping centers and malls are: Somerset Collection, the Village of Rochester Hills, and the Great Lake Crossing.
The Somerset Collection is the most upscale mall with a 'collection' of stores such as Nordstrom, Ralph Lauren/Polo, Saks Fifth Avenue, Tiffany & Co., Neiman-Marcus and J. Crew. The Village of Rochester Hills is an open-air mall with a small town feel. The Great Lake Crossing boast 185 stores such as banana republic, Coach, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Polo Ralph Lauren, etc.
There is also the option to go Downtown where the Greektown and the Historic District are popular with plenty of shops.
Like a large number of people, you can have a hazy idea and go shopping. That is if you have time to spare and extra money to spend. If not, then the best thing to do is probably to check catalogs and circulars before going shopping so to go directly to the stores you want to see and find awesome deals on the products you are looking for.

I recently took time out. Hidden from the world, sheltered from rain, wind and freezing temperatures, I found solace to contemplate my life. I stepped back into the womb of my imagination in readiness for re-birth to the next phase. I expect to be surprised and am excited to begin.
I have collected friends, colleagues, acquaintances, supporters on my journey to now.
Isn't it amazing how some people think they've got you all worked out? We walk around wearing labels; the fanatic, the wimp, the bitch at the office. Even worse, ex-wife of ..., step-mother of ..., member of...
We are defined by the place, family, area, country, skin we emerged from, the school we went to, the university we did or did not attend, the job we do or didn't do. We are chained to the 'should and shouldn't haves'.
By the time we reach our so-called freedom years, we are coated in labels; plenty of reading material for the critics. It is said that there is at least one book in everybody; is this what that means? Lord, I hope not. Some of us limp through life under clouds of judgement, prescriptions and predictions actually believing that other people were right!
I think I dumped my coating of tags on several occasions. No sooner were they dumped than I started collecting again.
Today I am ready to make a fresh start on my slate. The good things can come with me, but the bad must be left with the afterbirth. I will choose to surround myself with believers; those who think I can, even when I don't.
There are two kinds of criticism, constructive and destructive. Constructive critics identify the good and counsel to improve it. It usually starts with selfless praise. I will continue not to criticise the person, for this is blame, but to comment on the behaviour only if change seems possible.
If I am sure that you love me (without personal goals), then I welcome your opinion. If you are sitting in the boat of unbelief+, don't be surprised if I don't join you. I'm 'walking on water now' and can't afford your company.
I am positive that I'm not the only one ready to shed my coat. How about you? Let's do it together and get our toes wet!

American actress Angelina Jolie has undergone a preventative double mastectomy to minimise the risk of developing breast cancer. In an open letter to the New York Times, the 37-year-old explained she had inherited the BRCA1 gene from her mother, who died of the illness at the age of 56, and that the gene significantly increases the risk of getting breast cancer.
She notes that her doctors told her she had an 87% chance of developing breast cancer and 50% of ovarian cancer, adding that the risk differs for each woman. The double mastectomy involved three surgeries over almost three months, including reconstruction surgery with implants.
Women with the BRCA1 gene are sometimes advised to have their ovaries removed as well as their breasts. Cancer Research says that two in three women who have either the BRCA1 or 2 gene will get ovarian cancer by the age of 75. Jolie said she has not had her ovaries removed but has not ruled it out in future.
The Hollywood star said she hoped by coming out publicly other women who might not know they have cancer or a high risk of the disease will get their genes tested.

Ridley Scott has revealed he plans to make two Alien prequels in 3-D.
The award-winning director – whose adaptation of Robin Hood starring Russell Crowe will be released shortly – told Collider.com: "It'll be two – it'll be prequel one and two – at the moment I'm just trying to get the first one out."
He added: "We're on the fourth draft. It's alright; it's pretty good… Of course, it'll be 3-D."
The director also spoke to MTV about the plot for the prequel.
He revealed: "It's fundamentally about going out to find out 'Who the hell was that Space Jockey?' The guy who was sitting in the chair in the alien vehicle – there was a giant fellow sitting in a seat on what looked to be either a piece of technology or an astronomer's chair. Remember that?
"The main character [in the prequel] will be a woman, yeah. We're thinking it could go down that route, yeah. When I started the original Alien, Ripley wasn't a woman, it was a guy. During casting, we thought, 'Why don't we make it a woman?'
"[The film] is about the discussion of terraforming — taking planets and planetoids and balls of earth and trying to terraform, seed them with the possibilities of future life."

Britain is set to recall its parliament on Friday for emergency discussions on bombing the self-proclaimed Islamic State. It is likely that a vote will be held on Britain joining U.S. air strikes against the terror group, with bombing beginning very soon after.
Although a vote on bombing Assad's regime in Syria failed last year, it is looking increasingly likely that parliament will approve military action this time. Last year, a last-minute change of heart by the Labour party meant that the government the vote on bombing Syria in a result that sent shock waves through the Western world.
However, given the recent beheading videos released by the Islamic State terror group, and widespread reports of massacres, the mood in Westminster is different this time, and a large number of Conservatives who were sceptical last time are likely to back the government this year.
Speaking to America's NBC News this week, Prime Minister David Cameron said "you cannot opt out" of fighting IS.
"It has oil, it has money, it has territory, it has weapons and there's no doubt in my mind it has already undertaken and is planning further plots in Europe and elsewhere," Mr Cameron added.
Labour leader Ed Miliband is still keeping his cards close to his chest, however, telling BBC Breakfast today that he was merely "open to the possibility" of backing air strikes. He said: "How will I judge any proposal? Whether Britain can have an effect, whether we can succeed and whether it is legitimate and lawful. But I am open to the possibility.
"Before I commit British combat troops I want to look at what the proposition is and the nature of that proposition."
He added that air strikes should have UN Security Council approval.
Public opinion is Britain is also shifting behind air strikes against the terror group. A poll for ITV's Good Morning Britain today found that 40 percent of the British public support launching air strikes in Iraq if parliament authorises them, compared to 36 percent opposed.
This is the first time that more Brits have supported air strikes than opposed them. Breitbart London reported on a similar poll at the start of the month, which found that 35 percent of the public would support military action, compared to 50 percent opposed.
If Britain does decide to launch a bombing campaign against the self-proclaimed Islamic State, it is most likely that raids would be carried out from the sovereign bases on the Mediterranean island of Cyrus, which have already been used to carry out reconnaissance missions.
The Telegraph reports that RAF Tornado GR4 jets are ready to launch bombing raids as soon as the order is given. An RAF source told the paper: "The current aircraft in Akrotiri are sufficient to carry out significant drops on a small force like Isil. If the Prime Minister says start bombing tonight, we will begin bombing that night."

Record number of Irish passports issued as Ireland challenges UK to make up its mind on what it wants from Brexit
By Bernard Purcell
Ireland issued a record 740,000 passports last year – as between one in six and one in ten of all passports issued went to someone here in the UK. The number of applications has been so great that Ireland's Passport Office had to recruit 350 extra staff to deal with peak demand.
Ireland's Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan said: "I think it's fair to assume that there has been something of a connection between the result of the referendum and the increased number of applications from the UK."
But he said Irish fans travelling to the European Championships in France and a growing population had contributed to the increase in issue of first-time passports. Nevertheless, of the 740,000 applications some 65,136 were from Northern Ireland another 59,377 from people in the rest of the UK – a total, so far in 2016, of 124,513.
In June just after the Brexit referendum in this country the number of new applicants from within the UK jumped by 17,300 compared to the same period a year earlier. As in past years May, August, October and November remained the busiest times to apply for an Irish passport.
One in four people in Britain claim to be either of Irish descent or Irish. The spike in applications from here comes as the British government is still leaving people guessing as to whether people from the UK will have free movement in the EU or require visas as it says it intends to impose restrictions on visitors from the EU.
During last month's EU Summit in Brussels Prime Minister Theresa May and her officials refused to let any British media know what she had told other EU heads of government with the press forced to rely on Taoiseach Enda Kenny's account of the talks. And the frustration was not confined to the news media. Following the Prime Minister's traditional stay at Queen Elizabeth's residence in Sandringham in Norfolk, some courtiers put it about that the monarch had expressed bitter frustration at Mrs May's lack of detail or reluctance to be forthcoming about the UK's Brexit plans.
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn – whose own party has been ambivalent about Brexit under his leadership – accused Mrs May of behaving like Tudor sovereign Henry Vlll in refusing to tell Parliament of her plans.
Later this month the Supreme Court will rule on Mrs May's government's appeal against a unanimous High Court decision that MPs are entitled to have a say in triggering Article 50, the formal process in which Britain divorces from the EU.
Last week Ireland's Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan – who regularly hails the bonds between the two countries – publicly and repeatedly expressed the country's own frustration with a lack of clarity or detail from Britain on what it actually wants from Brexit.
"Six months after the referendum I regret that we don't have comprehensive plan from Britain.
"I believe it's imperative that early in the New Year such a plan takes shape, that we have sight of it – and that we know what it is…we need to see the plan from Britain for managing Brexit.
"We plan to help keep the UK as close to the European Union as possible but the single market versus freedom of movement is very challenging," said Mr Flanagan.

A new Archaeological dig is to begin at Aden Country Park in the hope of discovering more about the past at Aden.
The Book of Deer Project has for several years been carrying out archaeological work to help understand the early development of the village of Old Deer in Aberdeenshire.
The book was apparently in the possession of an early Pictish monastery atOld Deer circa 1100 AD and it is thought to have been made there too. Thismonastery has otherwise left no trace of its existence.
However during the search for the monastery several other sites have been found and this year's dig hopes to uncover more information about these sites.
Students from Aberdeen and Edinburgh Universities, local volunteers, and members of the Book of Deer Project will work with professional archaeologists during the two weeks on site.
240 primary school pupils will be taking part on June 7, 10 and 13; the Enhanced Learning Unit from Mintlaw Academy on June 14, and other academy pupils between June 14 and 17. They will be helping to uncover the rectangular building which has not been seen in full for several hundred years.

Excellent Family Movie Promoting High Moral Values
Imperial Topaz | Marrakesh, Morocco | 09/08/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is one of the best family DVD's I have ever seen. Not only is the story great for kids (but appropriately rated at PG because of a few scary scenes) , it is really wonderful for adults, too. The story has been changed from the traditional Jack and the Beanstalk. The giant has been transformed into a good giant, and Jack has been transformed into a scoundrel. The story shows a modern-day good and ethical Jack, and what effects the life of his ancestor (the traditional Jack) have on his modern life. Modern Jack didn't know that the traditional story was real, and that the traditinal Jack was really his ancestor, until some events happen in his life, and he finds out. He also goes up to the giants' city in the clouds and ends up taking care of unresolved business. It has been several weeks since I watched this 3½-hour DVD with my husband and my daughter, and I am still thinking about it. My husband, who normally enjoys action movies, reallly enjoyed it. My daughter has watched it numerous times. This is a great story which promotes good moral values for kids, and for society."
Parents need to pay more attention..
C. A Baker | Santa Rosa CA United States | 10/01/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This film was rated PG....folks who complain about it not being apropriate for their small children are right. But it is their own fault for not paying attention.
Just because something is made by Hensen, and just becasue it is is based on an old fairy tale doesn't mean it is automatically for children.
Parents stop blaming the film makers and pay attention to the what the film says on its packaging!
Aside from that this film is wonderful, not at all boring as some think, but and interesting intelectual twist on a fairy tale. It was a delight to see this well acted, well filmed TV movie that truly had some heart and good storytelling to boot!
Mia Sara was excellent and the lovely twist at the end was well done and hard to see coming. I'm talking about the "True" story of Jack and his mother, not the actually ending of the film. Which was a little cliched but I belive that cliches, if done well are not always a bad thing. And the cliches in this story have more to do with the parallels to the original fable and so are not a bad thing at all."
Magical, Brilliant, and Entertaining!
Vineyard Fairy | IN, USA | 01/16/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I came across this DVD totally by chance on Amazon and I'm so glad I took a chance and bought it with out viewing it first! I'm very surprised that this movie has not gotten more attention, there is a great cast and a very good plot line. They took the old story of Jack and the beanstalk but warped it into the modern scene and made the audience begin to wonder, 'did it really happen?' I'm 20, and I wasn't sure what age range this movie is for, based on the reviews found here people say 'oh it's not for kids' or 'oh it's a great family movie with high morals' Well this is my own take on it, yeah there is violence and a lot of romance and kissing, maybe not something you want to show your very young children. I think that 10 year olds will enjoy and understand this movie as well as older people. I loved this movie and the main star is soooo hot! The story is complex enough for adults, yet simple morals can be learned for kids watching this movie. If you like Tenth Kingdom, Snow Queen, or any other Hallmark production buy this movie!"
The Henson Magic at it's Best
PeaHeath | Clearwater Florida | 10/28/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)
"What a wonderful way to take a fairy tale that we all grew up with, turn it around and give it a whole new slant..while keeping the core story the same. Brian Henson, Son of Jim has brought the Magic of Henson to the TV screen in a "Giant" way :) The visual effects are outstanding..some of the best I have seen ... and incredible for a shoot that was only 11 1/2 weeks long (source: special features-behind the scenes- on DVD) . The actors did an outstanding job, with John Voigt pulling in a comedic performance that is a total surprise and very refreshing indeed!! Matthew Modine is, as always the best at his craft. He speaks with his eyes and face when he acts.... He is terrific. Darryl Hannah, Richard Attenborough, Mia Sara and Vanessa Redgrave round out the cast with equally well done characters. The role of Thunderdell is completely believeable in "both" roles..You will have to watch that to know what I mean... and is just outstanding. Buy this movie with confidence!! It is a wonderful rainy night, sit down with a bowl of popcorn and escape movie!! Enjoy!!"

Kirstie Alley Slams George Lopez for Fat Comments; Lopez Attempts Apology
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
TBS late-night host George Lopez apologized via his Twitter page Thursday for comparing "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Kirstie Alley to a pig on his show Wednesday, but Alley wasn't having it.
On Wednesday, Lopez said of her dancing on the ABC show, "She did a nice job, her little hooves tapping away. Before the show, she went to the market, and then she had roast beef and this is her going all the way home," before cutting to a squealing pig from a GEICO commercial.
After a firestorm of criticism, Lopez apologized Thursday, Tweeting, "I misjudged the joke. No malice was intended and I apologize to Kirstie."
Alley responded to Lopez's comments, also via Twitter, saying, "Don't worry about George's comments...just remember what happens to the big bad, drunk woolf...falls in a boiling pot of vodka.Piggy laughs"
On Friday, she added another Tweet slamming the comedian.
"I don't consider "I misjudged the joke" an apology. sorta like a husband saying"I misjudged putting my d**k in a whore" ...sorry hon..hehe"
Many were not amused by Lopez's callous "joke," considering that 60-year-old Alley has struggled very publicly with weight issues over the years, at one point tipping the scales at 230 pounds and sparking speculation she suffers with a compulsive eating disorder.
Rather than apologizing on air during his show, Lopez opted for Twitter, using 60 characters of the 140 characters allotted. During his monologue last night, Lopez didn't even mention Alley, but took a few minutes to make fun of Shaquille O'Neill's weight (joking that he couldn't be pulled away from the Wendy's drive-through) and Kim Kardashian's as well (joking that W magazine ran out of ink when trying to cover her assets on her nude cover).
TBS declined to comment on Lopez's remarks.
Experts slammed Lopez's comments to FOX411's Pop Tarts column on Thursday. "Lopez's comments were not only demeaning to Alley, who has been incredibly brave and open with her journey toward health, but they were very detrimental to women and girls everywhere," said Yana Walton, Vice President of Communications for watchdog group the Women's Media Center. "In a country where eating disorders are an epidemic, where advertising continually implies women are deeply deficient, where media places the majority of women's worth on their appearances, this is unacceptable."
"Lopez should use his creativity to make jokes that aren't this harmful," Walton said. "And Alley should be judged on her dancing. After all, this is a show about dance - it's not 'The Biggest Loser.'"
Terri Dougherty, editor of Women Magazine, feels some in Hollywood need to shape up and actually produce some original, funny material.
"Lopez made a cheap shot that simply was not very funny. Dancing is excellent exercise and I'm happy to see Kirstie out there. Making fun of a person's looks may be a standard part of comedians' acts, but this certainly was not a fresh or humorous take," she said.
Author of "Love Your Body, Love Your Life" Sarah Maria said Lopez's snide jab at Alley is offensive to all women.
"Lopez's attempt at comedy is cruel, demeaning, and insulting. In an apparent attempt to make people laugh, Lopez chooses insults over intelligence," she said. "Did Lopez even graduate from pre-school? Even without considering Alley's personal ongoing weight struggle, such a cruel comment is an insult to women and men everywhere. One hopes that after pre-school, maybe at the very latest grade school, children outgrow such hurtful and inane comments."
But it isn't only male comedians making disparaging weight-related remarks. Just a few months ago, comedian Kathy Griffin launched a "fat" attack against last season's "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Bristol Palin, likening her to the 350-pound fictional character "Precious."
FoxNews.com's Hollie McKay contributed to this report.

A Show of Cinco-larity
I prefer a more low-key evening at home with friends. It's usually a potluck-style affair that's perfectly suited for a crowd-pleasing platter of enchiladas. Inauthentic, certainly, but often it's the first plate to empty.
For a large crowd, casserole-style is the only way to go. Shredded chicken and cheese are combined with chopped onions and tomatoes, then coated with a mixture of salsas- I like using both red and green. For the wrap, purists prefer corn tortillas, but these do just fine with the softer flour sort.
Assembly is quick: load tortillas with desired filling, roll'em up, and place in a salsa-sauced casserole dish. Repeat until full, coat with more salsa, onions and cheese, then pop into a moderate oven for about 35 minutes, until bubbling hot and ready.
When facing more intimate affairs (and with some extra time), I'll pull a Martha and craft cute, bite-sized portions. A small biscuit cutter is the perfect tool to stamp out little rounds from a full-sized tortilla, which are then grilled or pan-fried until lightly browned.
A microwave makes quick work of warming the chicken and salsa, and again, it's basic assembly: chicken, salsa, onions and cheese go for a turn under the broiler. In about five minutes, you've got all the gooey, spicy goodness of enchiladas in a neat, hand-held package. Bring on the cervezas!
Inauthentic Chicken Enchiladas
16 ounces tomatilla salsa (I prefer Mrs. Renfro's)
16 ounces red salsa (I prefer homemade)
1 20-ounce package soft flour tortillas shells
1 whole smoked or roasted chicken, roughly chopped or shredded
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1 bunch cherry tomatoes, chopped
3 cups sharp or medium cheddar cheese, shredded
4 Trappey's jalapenos, sliced (optional)
fresh cilantro, sliced (optional)
1 medium red onion, diced
In a casserole dish, cover the bottom with a layer of salsa.
Take a tortilla and line with about 2 generous spoonfuls of the chicken.
Top with green onions, tomatoes, cheese and optional jalapenos and cilantro; roll into a cylinder and place seam side down into the casserole. Repeat with the remaining tortillas until finished.
Cover the tortillas with a generous amount of salsa, then add the chopped onions and remaining shredded cheese. Bake, uncovered, in a 350-degree oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until bubbling and piping hot. Serve immediately.
Chicken Enchilada Bites
1 20-ounce package soft flour tortilla shells
1 whole smoked or roasted chicken, roughly chopped or shredded
1 small red onion, minced
tomatilla salsa
1 bunch green onions, sliced
red salsa
2 cups sharp or medium cheddar cheese, shredded
fresh cilantro or chives, sliced (for garnish)
Turn broiler to low and pre-heat.
Using a small biscuit cutter, cut rounds from the full-sized tortillas. In a lightly-oiled pan or panini grill, cook until lightly browned.
In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the chicken and minced red onion with the tomatilla salsa: cook in the microwave for about 1 minutes, stirring once, until mixture is warmed through.
Place the rounds on a lined cookie sheet, then add about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture to the center of each round.
Sprinkle with green onion, then place a dab of red salsa on top.
Cover with about a tablespoon (or so) of the cheese.
Place into the pre-heated oven under the broiler and cook for about 5-6 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
Remove to serving tray, place slivers of cilantro or chive atop each round and serve immediately.

322 years after the apocalypse, life as we knew it is demolished. Everything we've ever known, and everyone we've ever loved is gone. In fact, anything beyond the island is a mystery. Who knows what lurks on the mainland? Is it possible whatever wiped out humanity is still there, waiting for new victims to annihilate? Is there still a lingering virus that threatens to latch itself onto any living life form? Are there enormous beasts that rule the mainland and attack anyone who steps foot on their land?
No one knows. All we know is that the island--our island is safe, and no one dares to leave it.
No one, except Ashley and Mason.
Ashley has stumbled across a secret of the island that will cause her more harm than good, because this secret shines a different light on the island's blessed elders...and not a positive light.
Mason has been sentenced to death after being accused of murdering Ashley's ex-husband. After some thought, the elders figure that sending Mason off the island in search of a better life on the mainland may be a quicker way of sentencing him to his own death.
Together, Ashley and Mason head off into the unknown in search of life, but what they find may be worse than they ever imagined...
This book was incredible. Here I am, putting huge emphasis on the word incredible, because this book absolutely blew my mind. The Dead Room by Stephanie Erickson took me no more than two days to read, but I honestly would have given anything to have it last longer. The moment I finished it, I longed for more. (The only comfort I have that made this pain easier to take was knowing that there's a second book coming out next year.)
The Dead Room had me gripping its pages so intensely, I'm almost positive I have permanent creases on the edge of my book from holding it too tightly.
As of now, I have read everything Ms Erickson has published, and after a full examination of each book (obsessively reading and ignoring the world around me so I can delve deeper into her stories), I can honestly say that I think Stephanie Erickson's writing and stories are getting better.
Her writing is like a fine wine; it only gets better with age. The more she writes, and the more of her stories you read, the more you fall in love with her work.
Ms Erickson's books are indescribable. Her plots are so extraordinarily unique because she writes books that readers like me are dying to read. She has discovered a new corner of literature like an explorer coming across a cave full of diamonds.
If you have not yet read a book by Stephanie Erickson, you are most certainly missing out.

On MML
As a native New Yorker, I felt the city change post-September 11 — NYPD backpack searches on the train, armed guards patrolling Grand Central Station — and pissed off over a Bush-misled America, I moved to Paris for seven years starting the spring of 2004. For over a year, I wrote about my experiences as a postmodern bohemian B-boy in a 21st-century City of Light for PopMatters.com, a column called "Paris Noir." With one foot ever in NYC, I founded Bronx Biannual in 2006 as an urbane urban literary journal full of essays and fiction from celebrated and unsung writers who share the hiphop aesthetic.
Some of my greatest inspiration comes from multi-hyphenate artists like photographer-director-author Gordon Parks or magazine editor-painter-director Andy Warhol, and so there will eventually be some filmmaking along with all this writing. But that will be another 500-word bio…one day.
My writing life began at 11, when Marvel Comics published my letter to the editor of Captain America. Growing up in the Bronx endeared me to hiphop culture from the start, hearing Kool DJ AJ spin records in St. Mary's Park outside my grandma's South Bronx window. From freshman year to my Morehouse graduation, I lived through all the classic albums of Public Enemy, the Cure, De La Soul, Lenny Kravitz, Guns n' Roses and A Tribe Called Quest before barely working an internship (no pay) at Vibe during their first two issues. Studying entertainment law at the Fordham University School of Law, I ducked out of classes to score interviews as a contributing writer to The Source, writing my first (unpublished) novel studying abroad in London. I finally decided that if I would lie for a living, it would be writing fiction instead of arguing in courtrooms.
Motivated by Harlem Renaissance and Beat writers, armed with a sociology degree, I resolved to scrutinize culture from the standpoint of my own generation. Over the past 20 years, this has turned out to include essays and reviews on music, literature, art, theater, poetry, dance, erotica, comics, transcultural migration, expatriate life and cinema. Scars of the Soul Are Why Kids Wear Bandages When They Don't Have Bruises, my first book, is a collection of essays describing certain experiences being raised in the Bronx during the 70s and 80s, as well as coming to terms with modern-day hiphop. My second, There's a Riot Goin' On, is a critical exploration of that funky Sly and the Family Stone album released on my birthday.

Penning magazine cover stories about Kendrick Lamar, Prince, Kevin Hart, The Roots, Forest Whitaker, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Erykah Badu, Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Idris Elba and Paula Patton, I've also assumed positions at XXL (deputy editor), Vibe (music editor), BET.com (deputy music editor), Russell Simmons' Oneworld (literary editor) and Ebony.com (arts & culture editor) from 1998-2015. My work has been published by alt-weeklies, newspapers and magazines including The New York Times, GQ, Essence, The Village Voice, Rolling Stone, The Believer, L.A.

Civil Disobedience in Hong Kong
Occupy Central is a civil disobedience movement which began in Hong Kong on September 28, 2014. As an extension to the class boycott initiated by student groups in Hong Kong, it calls on thousands of protesters to block roads and paralyse Hong Kong's financial district after Beijing and Hong Kong governments do not agree to implement universal suffrage for the chief executive election in 2017 and the Legislative Council elections in 2016 according to "international standards."
To everyone's surprise, the police unleashed unnecessary violence to the harmless protesters. Rumors that spread across people and media blurred the reasons to why the movement started in the first place. Amidst the chaos across the financial district of Hong Kong, there is talks of democracy, of Beijing intervention and whether or not this event will be a repeat of the 1989 Tiananmen Square incident. Therefore, what started out as a student protest and class boycott turned into a long-term civil disobedience movement that further segregates opinions.
The question now is, what will it take to defuse the current standoff? Is the "one country two system model" feasible? What is the event's impact on the Greater China Region?
Please join the Contemporary Asian Studies Student Union (CASSU), Chinese Politics Society (UTCPS), and the Asian Institute at the Munk School of Global Affairs for an afternoon of critical discussion and deliberation on the current state of affairs in Hong Kong and its resulting implications.
The event will mainly be conducted in English, but simultaneous translation from Chinese (both Cantonese and Mandarin) to English will be provided. We welcome all participants to speak in the language they are most comfortable with. Views from all sides are welcomed and discussion will be moderated.
Please RSVP at: firstname.lastname@example.com
or http://munkschool.utoronto.ca/ai/events/
We look forward to your participation.

Outgoing Hillsborough superintendent sizing up PBC schools job
Palm Beach County's public school system has barely launched its search for a new superintendent, but potential candidates are already sizing up the job.
MaryEllen Elia, the outgoing Hillsborough County superintendent ousted last month by her school board, visited West Palm Beach last week to learn more about the position, Extra Credit has learned.
Elia, who in December was named Florida's Superintendent of the Year by her superintendent colleagues, met with business leaders on Friday and attended a Forum Club of the Palm Beaches luncheon.
During her trip, she visited the offices of the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County and met briefly with the president of the Economic Council of Palm Beach County.
Kelly Smallridge, president of the Business Development Board, said she spoke with her about the "very strong relationship" between the school system to the business community.
Daniel Martell, head of the Economic Council, called his meeting with Elia short and "very informal," but he called her "obviously a very qualified candidate for any school district in this country."
Elia, 66, couldn't be reached for comment this week. She made headlines last month after Hillsborough's school board voted 4-3 to fire her just weeks after she was named the state's top superintendent. The decision was widely criticized by other business and political leaders in the Tampa Bay area. Her last day in office is Thursday, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Palm Beach County's school board is conducting a national search to replace Superintendent Wayne Gent, who announced last month he would step down and this week won the top job in St. Lucie County.
School board members hope to have a new superintendent named by late April.

Another thing I thought of after our last conversation, could it be the one lead coming out of the coil. I would imagine it's a wasted spark so a troubleshooting idea would be switching the spark plug wires and seeing if the problem persists only on the other side. Could be wrong though, but seems like an easy test if your leads are long enough
Good call. Upon visual inspection the leads at the coil seemed OK, but I will give that test a shot and see if the problem follows.
Look under the points cover for a mark (probably black, or a divot) to see if it's shorting out on the cover. Inspect the insulation on the points wires and check the washers. It could be bad coil, but I'd make sure it's not shorting during advance.

I decide to do an everyday outfit today. This a perfect outfit for school, going shopping, dinner with friends, etc... for this time of the year. A cute biker leather jacket with a black jeans and a stripe top. I have to say that I love the shoes so much. It can be pretty with a dress and skirt too. I add some colours with the nail polish. I add some gold rings too and it goes with the bag. If you want you can add a gold chain necklace to complete the look and add your personal style in this outfit.
What do you think about it? Do you like this outfit? Leave me a comment below :)

"Here come the spoilers"
Not a Good Week
Exclusive to TLE
As I'm sure all of you have noticed, the last week or so has not been a good one for the rights of free people. Not only has the REAL ID act passed, but now those persons who claim to represent us are attempting to compel other countries to adopt similar measures, making their ID procedures compatible with the contemptable schemes of our elected ninnies. The effect of this is to create not just a national ID system, but in effect, a de facto world ID system. The technologies contemplated for implementing this system include biometric information which is imprinted in a magnetic code on whatever form of ID card they come up with, and sub-dermal RFID chips, which can be 'read' by a scanner, either hand held or a portal type system, similar to airport metal detectors.
At the present time, the biometric system seems to be the preferred system. However, there are problems with this, including the fact that there is no worldwide standard for reading and interpreting biometric indicators. About the only widely accepted standard is the retinal scan, and even that has some detractors.
Hence, we are seeing ever more development of the RFID chips, with government, school systems (is there any difference?) urging parents to get their children 'chipped' for their own safety. So far, there has been less of a protest against this than I would have thought. However, this may be because it is 'for the children', and given the numbers of child abductions and murders, I suppose it is natural that fearful people want to be safe.
There is no safety short of death, people!
No matter what you do, there is no way that you can be totally safe! If you can't guarantee your own safety, how the hell can you expect someone who doesn't know you, doesn't give a damn about you, except as a source of 'food' (taxes), to make you safe? Ladies and gentlemen, our elected officials don't give a damn about us as individuals. All they care about is votes and money. They want to keep getting elected so they can keep stealing, and that is all they care about. Now, I have to admit there are a few exceptions to this. Ron Paul comes to mind, but there are very few.
Take a close look at your representatives voting record. Do they vote for increased government power and authority? Do they vote for increased taxation? Do they vote for increased government 'supervision' over every day matters? Do they vote for increased security for government employees, at the expense of the rights of the NON-governmental citizens? If they do, they will vote to plant RFID chips in your body. Of course, this will be sold as an 'anti-terrorism' or 'national security' measure. You will hear things like: Well, this will let us identify missing children easier," or perhaps something like: If there is ever another attack like the WTC, this will let us identify the bodies easier, to spare the families the anguish of not knowing,' or some other similar verbal excrement. Naturally, this will only be done after the 'failure' of biometric ID systems to prevent another catastrophe, which is almost guaranteed by the fact that the systems are not presently compatible, that they are subject to interpretation by human beings, and that not everyplace is capable of implementing this type of system.
My personal belief is that at some point, there will be a call for an absolutely foolproof method of personal identification. This belief is based on recent history, and the actions of the craven, pusillanimous, piss ants in Washington over the last few months and years. I think that within the next year we will see a call for implantable chips. Perhaps this will begin as a prerequisite for government housing or some other form of government assistance. After all, this would be a foolproof way to eliminate fraud and waste, wouldn't it? It would be a foolproof way to make sure only 'authorized' persons were in any particular area, wouldn't it? With chip readers at every door, there would never be an unsolved crime again, would there?
These are the rationalizations we're going to hear. We may even hear things like "Well, women use Norplant contraceptives. Why would they object to having something else planted under the skin for their own personal safety?"
Now, I know some will automatically brand me as some form of 'conspiracy theorist'. So be it. I have not, and will not accuse anyone of any type of conspiracy, only of cowardice, greed and lust for power, and authoritarian behaviour. I say that the pack of elitist scum who believe that they know best for everyone is guilty of this type of behaviour. I say that their own actions will eventually backfire against them. Just a cursory reading of history will show that every single time a 'ruling class' has gotten to the point that they behave as if they are better than the ordinary citizen, there has been some form of social unrest, up to and including revolutions, terrorism, civil wars, and other forms of social chaos. Will it happen here?
I don't know. I do know, however that there are many people who will not accept being 'chipped.' I include myself in this. I will never willingly accept any form of implantable ID. Before I do that, I will resist this authoritarian, tyrannical scheme with any means within my power. To this end, I am suggesting a massive campaign of non-compliance with any form of nationalized personal ID. Don't use credit cards, use cash. Buy from individuals, rather than 'authorized dealers. Whenever possible, use barter. Do your best to stay under the radar of the hyena dung bureaucrats. I shouldn't say that, I guess. Even hyena dung can be useful as fertilier! I'm sure you can each think of other ways to monkey wrench the system. Join with like minded people to form communities dedicated to living free. Don't publicize it, that just draws negative attention. Just do it!
Who knows? We may all end up in gulags or concentration camps like Camp X-ray in Gitmo. Or, we might just end up free people, in a free country once again.

Irish architects beat tough competition for LSE
A Dublin-based firm has won the right to design at new building for the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in Holborn.
Grafton Architects, headed by Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara, will design The Paul Marshall Building for the university.
The site, which LSE bought from the charity Cancer Research UK in 2013, will be at 44 Lincoln's Inn Fields.
The company saw off stiff competition from a host of prestigious practices, including London's AL_A, David Chipperfield Architects and Niall McLaughlin Architects and Scott Brownrigg.
Swiss firm Herzog and de Meuron and a joint venture from New York's Diller Scofidio and Renfro and London-based Penoyre and Prasad completed the shortlist.
The building will house teaching, sports and arts facilities for LSE's accounting, finance, management and research centres as well as the Marshall Institute for Philanthropy and Social Entrepreneurship.
Grafton's renderings show a pale stone-faced interior, with a series of planted terraces and an atrium with a branching structure of columns and beams.
A dramatically curving staircase will link the atrium to the teaching spaces in the building.
In a statement, the firm said: "We are absolutely delighted to be given this opportunity to build in this unique location in Lincoln's Inn Fields, across from the wonderful Sir John Soane's Museum, for a visionary client such as LSE."

Deep-sea vents, such as this black smoker chimney named "Boardwalk", which is located 7,260 feet deep in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, illustrate where the ancestor of current life on Earth evolved. Credit: NOAA/James F. Holden, UMass Amherst The last organism to exist before life branched out had a warm, oxygen-free, mineral-rich home, an environment similar to hot springs on Earth today, a new study shows.
The last universal common ancestor, nicknamed LUCA, lived about 4 billion years ago at a time when there was little oxygen in the atmosphere and the planet was being regularly blasted by impacting comets and asteroids.
RELATED: All Modern Life on Earth Derived from Common Ancestor
That bombardment "probably resulted in Earth being periodically heated to the point that the oceans were vaporized ... leading to bottlenecks in the diversity of life at the time at the time," biologist James McInerney, with the University of Manchester, United Kingdom, writes in this week's issue of the journal Nature Microbiology.
All organisms alive now descended from one heat-loving survivor, LUCA, but until now scientists had little insight into how the organism managed.
WATCH VIDEO: How Did Life Begin?
"Given that genomes are usually well adapted to their environment, knowing LUCA's genome could lend insight into the environmental conditions in which LUCA lived," McInerney said.
For the new study, scientists analyzed the evolutionary relationship of 6.1 million protein-coding genes in 1,847 bacterial and 134 archaeal genomes, aiming to get insight into the biology of LUCA.
RELATED: Earth's Water was Present During Planetary Birth
Madeline Weiss, with Heinrich Heine University in Dusseldorf, Germany, and colleagues found that out of 286,514 protein clusters, 355 gene families date back to LUCA, the organism from which both bacteria and archaea emerged.
Extrapolating from that analysis, the scientists infer that LUCA did not need oxygen to grow, that it thrived at relatively high temperatures and that it used carbon dioxide, nitrogen and hydrogen to sustain its metabolic pathways. LUCA was also dependent on metals such as iron, and other elements like selenium, the scientists found.
The presence of a thermophile-specific gene in LUCA buttress the idea that life began at hydrothermal vents, a theory that propels the search for life in ocean-bearing, outer moons of Saturn and Jupiter.
RELATED: Did Life Start on Mars?
LUCA's closest relatives alive today are clostridia, a group of anaerobic bacterium that includes pathogens which cause tetanus and botulism, and methanogens, Weiss and colleagues wrote.
"When we look at the inferred metabolism of LUCA, we are looking at the dominant and most successful kind of metabolism on the planet before the Bacteria and Archaea diverged," McInerney said. "This new study provides us with a very intriguing insight into life 4 billion years ago."
Still unknown is whether the 355 gene families identified in the study were in the same cell at the same time, or what other genes were present, he added.

"Passion and loyalty from our fans is something we don't take for granted."
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 06th, May. 2016 Under News
During its quarterly earnings report, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg revealed that Bungie's Destiny had almost reached 30 million registered players. The shared world shooter hit the 25 million mark in November 2015 and the April update has been cited as a major factor for the community becoming "re-engaged with the game".
It noted that Destiny players were averaging 100 hours of play time each and that "remarkably strong even after the release of some competitive games in the genre."
What happens when fans get tired of the April update though? Hirshberg said, "It's clear fans are hungry for more content than we have been able to create. That passion and loyalty from our fans is something that we don't take for granted. Which is why we're working side by side with Bungie to make sure that in the future, we're able to deliver a more consistent stream of great content and drive even more engagement."
It's not too far off from High Moon Studios working with Bungie on Destiny 2 though this is the first time we're hearing of Activision assisting in content updates. Guess those Eververse micro-transactions have been doing better than expected.
