Bulls 56, City Reds 18
Michael Platt warned former club Salford before this match he had "fire in his belly." He wasn't lying.
As a teenager, the "devastated" full back found out on the internet he was being ditched by his home-town team and hadn't forgotten four years on.
True to his word, he delivered a searing display today, helping himself to a hugely satisfying hat-trick of tries to prove in no uncertain terms that Salford boss Karl Harrison made a clanger letting him go.
Steve McNamara, meanwhile, knows he has got a snip, having paid Castleford just £10,000 for the dynamic flier.
The Bulls raced in ten tries in total as they completely destroyed the visitors, who have still yet to win at Grattan Stadium during the summer era.
Salford might have been able to deal with a fired-up Platt alone but today all 16 of his Bradford team-mates also had a point to prove as well.
It wasn't to the visitors but to themselves, having slipped up horribly at St Helens last week.
The Bulls fell 28-0 behind after a no-show in the opening quarter and were ruthlessly dismissed, so today they had some making-up to do.
Unfortunately for Salford, each and every one of them responded in just the right manner and the combined result was devastating.
The Bulls may have fallen behind in all their games previously but there was no worry of that today as McNamara's men swept into an 18-0 lead.
They dominated from the off with a performance packed with power, pace and precision, doing to Salford what Saints did to them nine days earlier.
Platt got the headlines with his treble but David Solomona was the architect early on and his performance in the opening quarter was a pleasure to watch.
The big second-rower shouldn't be able to do the things he does but he continually does with his awesome combination of brute force and delicate hands.
His subtle pass from inside the Bulls' own half sent Paul Deacon racing clear for the game's first try.
The scrum half found Shontayne Hape on his outside and although the Kiwi was hauled in, a quick play-of-the-ball saw Iestyn Harris find Platt in midfield and he sliced through for his opener.
Then Solomona used his strength to bundle over from close range when he had no right to whatsoever and the gifted Kiwi was soon unpicking the battered Salford defence again.
This time, he latched on to a Jamie Langley off-load on halfway and forced his way through.
Solomona looked to be clear but a tap-tackle slowed his progress. However, showing amazing dexterity for a big man and as he struggled to keep his balance, he managed to shape a brilliant one-handed pass to the supporting Hape for a score of true class.
He came up with some massive defensive hits as well to smash Salford further back and the likes of Joe Vagana, Jamie Langley and Andy Lynch all powered forward as the home pack really set out their stall. There was no standing off this week.
The visitors struggled on and didn't gain any attacking position until near the end of the first quarter, when Glenn Morrison was forced into pulling off a desperate cover tackle on jinking livewire Luke Robinson.
Andy Coley eventually barged over to give them a sniff but they were soon smelling the Bulls' afterburners again when Marcus St Hilaire finished off a fourth touchdown.
Ian Henderson - starting at hooker due to Terry Newton's suspension - livened things up with a couple of darts around the ruck and, when Salford were penalised for not being square, the Bulls struck.
Solomona took a quick tap from in front of the posts, Iestyn Harris found Morrison and the Aussie's excellent long pass was gobbled up by St Hilaire.
Ben Harris enjoyed a couple of busting breaks down the right but on the first occasion he looked to the left when Morrison and St Hilaire were on his right shoulder and the second time Morrison was bundled into touch.
However, it seemed the Bulls would add to their list when Shontayne Hape rose highest to collect a Iestyn Harris crossfield kick just before the hooter.
The line was gaping but Hape spilled the ball and Williams picked up to sprint clear to the other end, Luke Dorn supporting for their second try.
With John Wilshere converting, Salford might have fancied their chances of a comeback, trailing by just ten points at the break.
But any hopes of that were dismissed when the hosts got the first score of the second half, Hape gliding over off a long cut-out pass from Iestyn Harris.
On the back of their forwards' continued dominance, Harris, Deacon and Henderson all excelled, revelling in the space and time afforded them to attack the line.
Harris was badly off-cue with some of his passing at Knowsley Road but today the 30-year-old showed he can still be one of the game's most influential players.
He may not have the pace of old but some of his passing to pick out runners was excellent. Chris McKenna benefited from two tries off such service and earlier Harris had also made a half-break to help set up Platt's second.
Platt raced onto another Harris pass to get his hat-trick, showing surprising strength for such a slight player to stretch out of a clutch of tackles.
Henderson had already finished off an electrifying surge from Burgess, who gave a glimpse of why he has been rated as one of the best young talents in the game.
With a storming burst down the middle, the 18-year-old showed immense strength to hold off would-be tacklers. He then demonstrated great skill and awareness with a fine off-load to find Lynch, who did well to hand on to Henderson and he finished for a well-deserved four-pointer.
Salford scored the last try of the afternoon with their only real foray into the Bulls half, when Williams benefited from a dubious penalty try, but it was no consolation following a brutal destruction.

Frost by Marianna Baer
Release date: September, 2011
Pages: 396
Source: Bought
My Feelings:
Leena Thomas's senior year at boarding school starts with a cruel shock: Frost House, the cozy Victorian dorm where she and her best friends live, has been assigned an unexpected roommate—eccentric Celeste Lazar.
As classes get under way, strange happenings begin to bedevil Frost House: frames falling off walls, doors locking themselves, furniture toppling over. Celeste blames the housemates, convinced they want to scare her into leaving. And although Leena strives to be the peacekeeper, soon the eerie happenings in the dorm, an intense romance between Leena and Celeste's brother, David, and the reawakening of childhood fears all push Leena to take increasingly desperate measures to feel safe. But does the threat lie with her new roommate, within Leena's own mind…or in Frost House itself?
My Review:
I bought this book for two reasons: 1. The cover. It's creepy, but so cool! And 2. The story sounds super scary. Perfect for the theme of the month October.
Leena is a nice character. She's caring, understanding and friendly. She's likeable, but a bit strange. Why? Well, the closet of her roommate smells like home to her and therefore she likes to sit in it. I mean if you are six, seven and you think the boogeymen is out there to get you, you probably feel save in the closet. Right? But when you're sixteen, seventeen it's kind of weird. Seriously! And not only that and I don't want to ruin everything but the thing she does in there is just crazy. I know she has issues and that this is the way she deals with them, but I just thought it was crazy. Celeste, the new roommate, was interesting. I had no idea if she was lying or telling the truth. Celeste and David, her brother, have a very close relationship and at times I thought it was too close.
I thought this plot would creep me out. But, it didn't. The plot is fast paced and I read the book very fast. But, I read further because I thought something creepy was waiting for me. Something that was super scary. But, that never happened. And then the ending came and it could have used more explaining. More details about actually what happened.
So, all in all it's very entertaining, but just not what I expected.

Even though today is Talk like a Pirate Day, I've decided instead to be a shill for the U.S. military. Here are ten facts about Guantanamo that you may not be aware of if you get your news just from the mainstream media. This comes directly from the military and is dated Sept. 14th, 2006.
- The detainees at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility include bin Laden's bodyguards, bomb makers, terrorist trainers and facilitators, and other suspected terrorists.
- More money is spent on meals for detainees than on the U.S. troops stationed there. Detainees are offered up to 4,200 calories a day. The average weight gain per detainee is 20 pounds.
- The Muslim call to prayer sounds five times a day. Arrows point detainees toward the holy city of Mecca.
- Detainees receive medical, dental, psychiatric, and optometric care at U.S. taxpayers' expense. In 2005, there were 35 teeth cleanings, 91 cavities filled, and 174 pairs of glasses issued.
- The International Committee of the Red Cross visits detainees at the facility every few months. More than 20,000 messages between detainees and their families have been exchanged.
- Recreation activities include basketball, volleyball, soccer, pingpong, and board games. High-top sneakers are provided.
- Departing detainees receive a Koran, a jean jacket, a white T-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, high-top sneakers, a gym bag of toiletries, and a pillow and blanket for the flight home.
- Entertainment includes Arabic language TV shows, including World Cup soccer games. The library has 3,500 volumes available in 13 languages — the most requested book is "Harry Potter."
- Guantanamo is the most transparent detention facility in the history of warfare. The Joint Task Force has hosted more than 1,000 journalists from more than 40 countries.
- In 2005, Amnesty International stated that "the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay has become the gulag of our times."
Let's focus for a bit on the comparison between Guantanamo and the Soviet gulag. Here's a paragraph from Wikipedia about the conditions in the gulag:
Extreme production quotas, malnutrition, harsh elements, inadequate housing, hygiene, and medical care, as well as brutal treatment by camp officials, guards, and fellow prisoners were the major reasons for high fatality rates, which in extreme cases could be as high as 80%.
And Gitmo is "the gulag of our times"? Oh, please!
Here's something else worth considering. The media would have you believe that the "torture" that went on at Abu Ghraib was pandemic and widespread, indicative of the entire military force in Iraq, when they represented only a vanishingly small percentage of problem soldiers. Abu Ghraib has hit the news again recently with reports of torture, but now under Iraqi hands:
An independent witness who went into Abu Ghraib this week told The Sunday Telegraph that screams were coming from the cell blocks housing the terrorist suspects. Prisoners released from the jail this week spoke of routine torture of terrorism suspects and on Wednesday, 27 prisoners were hanged in the first mass execution since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime.
Conditions in the rest of the jail were grim, with an overwhelming stench of excrement, prisoners crammed into cells for all but 20 minutes a day, food rations cut to just rice and water and no air conditioning.
Some of the small number of prisoners who remained in the jail after the Americans left said they had pleaded to go with their departing captors, rather than be left in the hands of Iraqi guards.
"The Americans were better than the Iraqis. They treated us better," said Khalid Alaani, who was held on suspicion of involvement in Sunni terrorism.

the Second Death
Jude 13
13 raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
Rev. 2:11
11 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death." '
Rev. 20:6, 14
6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. . . . 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev. 21:8
8 "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
Rom. 6:21-23
21 What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Jam. 1:15
15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

Festival date: May 31, 1982
Broadcast date: 1982-11-13 Dutch TV KRO
Acts: Doe Maar, Au Pairs, Kid Creole & The Coconuts, Y&T, Saga, Mink Deville, ZZ Top.
Location: Burg. Damensportpark Geleen The Netherlands
Tickets: 37,50 gilders (pre-sale Fl. 30,00)
Weather: sunny and hot
Spectators: 30.000
Presentation: John Peel
The 13th Pinkpop festival attracts 30,000 spectators, it was 18,000 spectators less than the previous year. The reason according to the organizers for this remarkable decline was the competition of three Rolling Stones concerts in The Netherlands. A large percentage of schoolchildren could not afford two expensive concerts in a row. But the much lower interest in a festival like the Lochem festival shows that there exists a general phenomenon. It seems that in any event, this form of cultural scale has had its day. And they all had their own explanation. Some 'part-time medicine men' claimed that the fact that this thirteenth (13th!) Pinkpop Festival was undoubtedly the cause. Pinkpop 1982, the festival has become a sunbathers festival and an intense sweaty Willy DeVille on stage. But with a steamin' hot Mink DeVille gig! Tropical temperatures and significantly fewer spectators than in previous years were ideal conditions for the festival grounds to make a large sunny beach and enjoy the music. The organization meant the decline in number of spectators, however, a financial shortfall of over half a million Dutch gilders.
Mink DeVille line-up: Willy DeVille (vocals); Joey Vasta (bass); Kenny Margolis (keys); Tommy Price (drums); Louis Cortelezzi (sax); Paul James (guitar)

The Mission Song – John Le Carre
Another gift. I have read a few of Le Carre, but nothing as recent as this one, published in 2006. It is a page turner. It centres on a top African interpreter, the narrator, and his role in an attempted coup in Congo. I was with him most of the way through, willing him on. Then he seemed to lose the plot, not the author, the narrator. He suddenly develops an affinity for some of the other characters that doesn't seem to be justified based on what has gone before. It is a bit of a jerk in the flow of the story. Suddenly he is doing things which don't make sense, only someone very naive would do these things. It meant that the last section of the story was a bit unbelievable. So from a very promising start it tailed off and towards the end I could only marvel at the stupidity of the narrator….what did he expect to happen under the circumstances? I was with him at the start but he didn't manage to keep me with him and he was lucky to have escaped so lightly.

|Boston - Attack Against Civilians
|2013.04.18 22:26:32
Doesn't anyone else find it rather sickening to hear weak failures in office the likes of Ban Ki Moon and others parading their selective condemnations of attacks on civilians?
Personally, I'm apalled and disgusted and have been for a decade at the way these people have failed abysmally to condemn attacks on civilians - vast and wholesale, insidious, callous, brutal (white phosphorous, fleshettes, cluster bombs). Let them rot in hell with Margret Thatcher and all her savage, torturing dictator friends whom they have dared not offend with a misplaced word. It is THEY who have no respect for the victims of Bostom.

|The CIA Mind at Work

The comments of "Former CIA Officer" Robert Grenier might make an interesting study in psychology. Interestingly, the "People who hate our Freedom and Democracy" now may be "Domestic Terrorists" with some sort of grievance against the government and the woven tale of far-fetched speculation pulls in imagery of the American Revolution and the national climate of discontent. How sad it all is. Guns are not the problem. The NRA is not the problem. Gun control won't calm the waters. No peace in the world. No Justice. No peace of mind.

|Politics and the London Zoo
|2013.04.15 21:00:38
Personally, I find it difficult to disengage or avoid politics, even on an outing with my children to the London Zoo. At King's Cross Station I interrupted our journey to take my two boys to admire what I consider to be a rare and wonderfully imaginative innovation in Architecture and a marvel of modern engineering – the roof above Kings Cross Station. Of course, you can't tell that to a child under 4, but I could get them to lie on their backs on the floor alongside the central column and get them to study the beautiful sweeping arches that hold up the enormous roof lattice above.
A crowd was amassing with a high police attendance and someone was shouting with a broad Irish accent "Maggie Maggie Maggie! Dead Dead Dead!!" followed by a loud chorus of cheering and chants of "The bitch is dead!".
I asked one of the crowd what it was all about – "They're protesting the cuts".
She was not impressed with my contention that unless there was a very large number of the British population willing to get serious they were wasting their time. She was less dismissive of this view when I reminded her that despite 2 million protesting in London against the Iraq war in 2003 we are still participating in wars all over the world; "Is this little mob going to make any difference?". They just don't give a damn about protest and they are militarising the Police and reshaping the law ready for the time when the world economy hits the fan and it all gets serious. While we conversed my 1-year-old son was pushing the double push-chair away and into the back of a group of police. As their alarm subsided I joked that it was probably the strongest resistance they would face all day.
Meanwhile the "Maggie!" chants continued and I shouted back up the escalator shaft (at risk to life and limb) that if they didn't have the balls to get rid of her while she was Prime Minister there was not much point raving now.
At the London Zoo, wandering among the remnants of the procession of species disappearing in the wake of the human onslaught there were endless reminders of the FACT of Climate Change and the alarming rate of species extinction (which I first heard about at University more than 30 years ago) and efforts to persuade the masses that the loss of eco- and bio-diversity matters. As has been the necessity for some time, I fought off my rising anger and anxiety in order to present calm rationality for my day out with my boys; as best I could.
On The Tube going back to King's Cross an old lady (older than me) lamented the crowded conditions. I asked "What would things have been like if all the money spent on cars, petrol, motorways, traffic control and all the carnage of motor accidents had been spent on Public Transport?". She agreed with my point and someone else joined the conversation. I told them that I had only recently come to understand, thanks to Monbiot, how we embarked on this madness. I had discovered that Dr Beeching, who had shut down the railways in the 1960s had been appointed by the then minister of transport, Ernest Marples - owner of the motorway-building company Marples Ridgway. I expressed the view that this was a criminal act of monumental consequence. Others tuned into the conversation and I began my usual rant about the psychopaths who currently run the planet and the consequent danger we are in with imminent environmental disaster due to Climate Change and economic disaster due to criminal mismanagement of the global economy. Once I began to see my folly I simply asserted that we are in deep shit and that all that was going to save us is conversations like this among ourselves leading to a broader awakening.

|Trade Mission to Israel
|2012.03.25 08:16:16
Attn: The Hon Bill Shorten MP
Ref: Trade Mission to Israel
Dear Mr Shorten,
I have recently read an open letter to you from fellow Australian Dr Vacy Vlazna, which I have included with this letter. I write to emphatically support the views expressed in that letter by Dr Vlazna. Your Trade Mission to Israel is an outrageous offence against human decency in general, against our often celebrated and ostensibly shared Australian values in particular and against the pride and, of special concern to me, proud of two grandfathers who (misguided as they were) risked their lives in European wars for noble values, the self-respect of all Australians. The obsequious flattery inherent in the statement of your mission's objective (to "attempt to understand how is it that Israel-a country of 7.2 million people, a third of the size of Tasmania, sixty per cent desert, only sixty three years old, with limited natural resources-produces more start-ups than large, peaceful and stable nations like Japan, India, Korea, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.") reflects either a startling ignorance or a willful blindness to reality and is utterly insulting to anyone who understands the truth.

"After the earthquakes we were quite worried about job security because of falling student numbers."
As Stephanie Turner knows, when jobs are threatened, people in insecure work are the first to go.
"Even though my job was 'permanent part-time' I was aware when it comes to job losses that there are the casuals, and then next in line is the permanent part-time positions."
Stephanie Turner is a tutor at Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology (CPIT) teaching English to migrants and refugees. She started in 2001 in a fixed-term position with variable hours. Each year she got a letter saying, "Thank you, goodbye". Then a new fixed-term agreement would turn up the following year.
After five years of these revolving agreements, the polytechnic created a new type of job, which it called 'permanent part-time'.
CPIT offered six or seven of these positions. At the time, Stephanie had about a dozen colleagues on fixed-term agreements and they had to compete with each other for the jobs. However w Stephanie successfully got one of these jobs she quickly learnt it was only one step up from the casual positions that she had previously held.
Unlike truly permanent tutors, Stephanie and her newly permanent part-time colleagues were paid hourly and limited to teaching 412 hours a year. There were minimal sick leave and pd provisions and no opportunities to advance to senior tutor positions. Because Stephanie was paid hourly, once the academic year finished she had a space of eight to 10 weeks during December to February, when there was no teaching and thus no pay.
"Luckily I have a partner who is working full-time, but there were single mothers who found it really hard. They had to plan to get through that summer period."
"Some of us talked about the dole but, with the stand-down period, it wasn't really worth it."
Stephanie and her permanent part-time colleagues did exactly the same work as their truly permanent colleagues on salaries; including course and assessment design. Over time expectations grew that they attend staff meetings, put in extra hours to relieve for tutors who were away, and step into positions of responsibility temporarily, all within their allotted 412 hours per year.
A little more than a decade after she first started working for CPIT Stephanie now has the job security of a permanent position. However, she still has several colleagues in 'permanent part-time' jobs, working for an hourly rate while others around them get a salary.
"It's not really enough to live on, it creates ill-feeling," Stephanie says.

text: Now I know why they call it the Holidayze : )! 11/28/2018 Wow, now I really know why they call this early Winter season the season of Holidayze!!! Thanksgiving is just over. We are in the middle of a huge winter storm, already gave us a foot on top of the foot we had already. And just prior we had this heavy, soaking rain, which then froze on the trees and now we have beautiful, yet very heavy snow. It's wonderful and reminds me of Christmas, but the trees are straining with the heavy burden they now bear. On top of that, life can not stop now to

Author Notes: This dish is best with the sweetest peas of early spring, straight from the garden, but frozen peas are still wonderful if you don't have a backyard vine. You can vary the amounts of either pea variety depending on your preference. I use frozen coconut from my local Indian grocery store (along with the whole seeds that I stock up on in bulk), but I'd love to try it with fresh -- I'm just not sure I'm ready to wrestle with a whole coconut, rolling across the kitchen counter. This dish is inspired by my dear friend, Saraswathi, who's my guru for South Indian-style cooking (my mother-in-law taught me the ways of the north). —Ann S
Food52 Review: Sweet soft English peas, crunchy sugar snaps, vegetal wilted spinach, earthy spices and the thought of an island in the toasted coconut, all zipped up with a well-timed squeeze of lemon. This is an absolutely delicious side that you may forsake your main dish for. The recipe says that it serves 4, but I ate half with dinner and I am eating the rest right now for lunch (it's good cold too!). Added bonus – it is also (brace yourself) easy-peasy to make. Yep, I went there. —aargersi
Serves: 4
cup frozen shredded coconut, thawed
tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2
teaspoons black mustard seeds
teaspoon cumin seeds
teaspoon sesame seeds
pinch red pepper flakes
small onion, diced (about 1/3 cup)
fat clove garlic, minced
1 1/2
cups shelled English peas (or thawed frozen peas)
1 1/2
cups sugar snap peas, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch wide pieces
teaspoon turmeric powder
bunch spinach, roughly chopped
Fresh lemon juice
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the coconut and toast until many of the shreds turn brown. Stir frequently to prevent scorching, but don't be afraid to let the coconut lie still as it browns against the hot pan -- this is what makes it yummy. Remove from heat and cool.
- Warm oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes, and cook until seeds sizzle, darken, and begin to pop. Add the onion, stir, and cook until very soft and beginning to brown.
- Add garlic to the pan along with the English peas, turmeric, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add a splash or two of water to moisten the mixture a bit. Stir and cook until peas are barely tender, 3 to 5 minutes (add splashes of water as needed to keep things from burning or sticking to the pan). If your peas are small and very fresh, they won't need much added water, and they will cook on the quicker side. Larger, older ones may need more water and longer cooking time. Just before the peas are done cooking, add the snap peas, stir, and cook for one more minute. If you're using frozen peas, you can add both varieties of peas at the same time, and cook for barely two minutes, without water if the frozen peas are a little wet.
- Add spinach, turn off the heat, and stir the mixture until the leaves wilt completely. Stir in coconut and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Add more salt as needed, to taste.

This is the Pocket PC I have been recommending to people when they as me which one they should buy (and a lot of people ask me that). Why? You get the best of the current generation of Pocket PCs – small size, 624MHz CPU, 64MB RAM, WiFi, Bluetooth, and Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition – for a rock bottom price. I routinely see deals for the top-end X30 for less than $300 (sometimes as low as $260 or so). To me, that's the best value in a Pocket PC, period.

WBEZ News
Journalists, citizens say CPS barred people from attending school board meeting
A day later, there are still questions swirling about whether Chicago's school district improperly barred people from Wednesday's school board meeting.
Curtis Lawrence is a veteran reporter and teaches journalism at Columbia College. He and another professor, Suzanne McBride, had trouble getting into the meeting, as did their 11 graduate students.
"We were being told that everyone had to register online in advance," said Lawrence. "Our students from Columbia College eventually got in, we got press passes. But my concern as a journalist and just as a Chicago citizen is what about the school parent who doesn't have a computer at home and decides they want to come and participate in the process about their kid's education? They can't."
Natalie Bauer of the Illinois Attorney General's office said her office had received no complaints as of Wednesday night. But she said "per the Open Meetings Act, no one should be turned away for failure to register in advance if they want to attend a meeting—if there is space in the room."
People told WBEZ about separate instances in which they saw people turned away by school district employees Wednesday.
"I saw a couple of people who left, because they were saying they would not let them up," said Ronald Jackson, a member of the South Side NAACP. "I told one guy--they can't do this." Jackson is a regular at board meetings and said he has never been turned away before. He said he did register in advance, but security guards told him he wasn't on the list. He then asked for a pass to the school district's Law Department. He said he explained the situation to a staffer there, then was kept waiting for a half hour. He said he was ready to go to jail. "I know they don't have the authority to bar me from an open meeting, whether they like me or not."
Jackson was eventually let into an overflow room with fewer than a dozen other people.
Vince Casillas, comunity outreach manager at the Illinios Network of Charter Schools, brought parents with him to Wednesday's board meeting from various charter schools, but one parent was denied access and went home. Casillas says he didn't challenge the decision. "I mean, we were a little disappointed, but she'll be back next time, hopefully we'll have her properly registered and ready to go."
The school district issued a statement Wednesday evening saying it is updating its guidelines to show that it requests—but does not require— advance registration. "Any member of the public who wishes to attend the Board meeting can do so without registering in advance given that there is adequate space in Board chambers and its overflow room," a district spokeswoman said in an email.
Attendance at Wednesday's board meeting was lower than normal. About 250 demonstrators outside did not try to enter the meeting.
Suzanne McBride wonders how much damage was done. "No one knows how many people they turned away," she said.

We showed character of champions - Garts
Goalscoring hero Brian Gartland came up trumps once again in Turner's Cross with a late winner - and he hopes the character Dundalk showed to find it will prove to be the mark of champions.
Having conceded just a minute before, Gartland pounced in a crowded penalty area to score his eighth goal of the season in all competitions and has been left sore that he did not push harder for a goal bonus at the start of the campaign.
"I argued over getting a goal bonus at the start of the season and didn't get one but I've had other people telling me they are making good money off me!" he laughed.
"Two or three a season would have been my lot. I think the last time I scored this many was at U11 or U12 when I got 15 - but that was because the goals were big and the 'keepers were small and I could kick it high!" he continued.
"To get the win is the main thing. We weren't at our best in the second half and they came into it. We conceded a goal from a set piece which is unlike us but to show the character we did to get the winner is all that matters.
"This win shows that but how important it will be, we will know come the end of the season. We have gotten late goals more than a few times now and hopefully that will be the sign of champions."
Gartland pointed to two things in particular which have helped put Dundalk in a commanding position at the top of the table and he insisted tiredness will not be an issue as the season enters the final third.
"Mental strength has been important, with Europe too," he added.
"The gaffer has it drilled into us, we feel tiredness is a state of mind. Our fitness is top notch and that is down to the work of everyone, they have their scheduling of everything spot on," he said.
"The other thing that is important too is the strength of our squad. We went to Split, made five changes and won and did the same on the Sunday so tiredness doesn't come into it for us.
"A first XI does not win a league, a squad does."

Now where should I look to find Easter eggs?
Could anyone give me a clue?
But there in the shop, well guess what I found?
A box of six eggs and all blue!
The eggs were then boiled until they were hard;
Then out came my paint and my brush.
I painted my eggs with patience and love
And took time for there wasn't a rush.
At Easter, my eggs were quite proudly displayed
In a dish for my family to see,
And everyone took one, and said, one and all,
That the best eggs were given by me.

Richard Florida pens an interesting long-form article in the Atlantic on how the "crash" will reshape where we live and how cities and regions will look going forward. Nothing specific about parks in here, but some interesting food for thought on the role parks can play in attracting talented individuals. Florida sees a country that:
…..allows more people to mix more freely and interact more efficiently in a discrete number of dense, innovative mega-regions and creative cities. Serendipitously, it will be a landscape suited to a world in which petroleum is no longer cheap by any measure. But most of all, it will be a landscape that can accommodate and accelerate invention, innovation, and creation—the activities in which the U.S. still holds a big competitive advantage.
Florida suggests that:
…….we need to begin making smarter use of both our urban spaces and the suburban rings that surround them—packing in more people, more affordably, while at the same time improving their quality of life. That means liberal zoning and building codes within cities to allow more residential development, more mixed-use development in suburbs and cities alike, the in-filling of suburban cores near rail links, new investment in rail, and congestion pricing for travel on our roads. Not everyone wants to live in city centers, and the suburbs are not about to disappear. But we can do a much better job of connecting suburbs to cities and to each other, and allowing regions to grow bigger and denser without losing their velocity.
What Florida also mentioned earlier in his book The Rise of the Creative Class that recreational amenities, such as trails and parks, can be another element that improves quality of life and attracts residents (both singles looking for the active life and parents looking for quality family amenities), especially as places become more dense, and without the equivalent private recreational space.
End message: now may be a horrible time for cities to walk away from investing in quality parks and public spaces.

Federal employment minister Jason Kenney appears to be issuing an ultimatum to provinces that oppose the Canada Job Grant: be more flexible or risk being left out of the program entirely.
In a tersely worded statement issued late Friday following a phone call with provincial labour ministers, who rejected his latest counter-proposal on the grant, Kenney warned that Ottawa will not be the only party to bend on its position.
"We remain prepared to deliver the Canada Job Grant ourselves if an agreement with the provinces is not met," Kenney said.
Provinces and Kenney have been in talks on how best to reform the grant since the summer, and negotiations have become difficult, with multiple offers and counteroffers exchanged privately between the two.
"The federal government has listened to provinces' concerns and significantly restructured the offer based on their feedback," Kenney said. "We hope to receive a formal counter offer from the provinces shortly, and we hope provincial governments show a willingness to also be flexible in these negotiations."
The $15,000-per-person grant, unveiled in last year's budget, was originally supposed to be funded equally by the federal government, provinces and employers. The federal contribution of the grant, totalling $300 million annually, would be drawn from a $500 million Labour Market Agreement transfer from Ottawa to the provinces.
After provinces refused to participate in the plan because they wanted to retain LMA funding – used to train aboriginals, disabled people and youth for work – Kenney agreed in a Dec. 24 counteroffer to nix the provincial contribution to the grant. The concession would save provinces about $300 million annually.
Provincial and territorial labour ministers discussed that offer Friday afternoon and decided to reject it on the basis that it didn't address their main concern – leaving LMA money untouched.
"While we appreciate that provincial-territorial cost matching requirements were removed in your revised offer," a letter provinces sent Kenney Friday said, "we continue to have fundamental concerns."
"Ministers are united in their concerns and expressed disappointment that you continue to propose to fund the Canada Job Grant through substantial cuts to LMA programs. These programs serve our most vulnerable Canadians and have demonstrated positive results."
Prince Edward Island jobs minister Allen Roach said following the call earlier Friday that provinces would send Kenney a formal counter proposal in the "very, very near future" so both sides could come to an agreement.
"We're still not where we need to be," Roach said.
Roach refused to discuss details of the call between ministers, saying that neither the provinces or Kenney wanted to negotiate the grant publicly.
Still, the tussle has spilled into the public arena at times, with Kenney accusing provinces of running inefficient programs on LMA money and the provinces accusing Kenney of inflating how flexible Ottawa has really been on the grant behind the scenes.
"Let's not get seduced by the spin that there has been a great deal of movement from the federal government," said Ontario jobs minister Brad Duguid Friday morning. "There has been some."
Relations now appear to have reached a low, as Friday represents one of the only times Kenney has issued a statement on the grant. Just this week he told a crowd in New Brunswick that he didn't want to negotiate the grant through the media.
The Canada Job Grant is the federal government's response to Canada's looming skills gap, particularly in the construction sector. Ottawa estimated 130,000 Canadians could receive skilled training under the grant.
Stalled since its introduction last March, the grant may become a reality if Ottawa and the provinces agree to a funding model and other details, like how much money employers should contribute to the grant.
It is unclear what the outcome will be if the two sides cannot agree, however, and Ottawa forges ahead without provinces. One possible scenario is that Ottawa could nix the $500 million LMA transfer to provinces entirely. The federal government has also indicated it plans to "renegotiate" $1.95 billion in another transfer to provinces, the Labour Market Development Agreement.
The Canada Job Grant is due to come online in April.

David Attenborough's latest subject? Himself
Sir David Attenborough on 60 years in front of the camera: why his famous gorilla footage was a fluke; how television has aided our understanding of the natural world; and why, at 86, his work is far from finished
The sunny living room of Sir David Attenborough's home is crammed with tribal art, fossils and other curios of a well-travelled life. Last time I was here he gave me a quiz: "What's this?" "Er, don't know." "Ichthyosaur poo." It is a comfortable room, overlooking a mature walled garden. But today he is remembering it in less tranquil times.
He began his career on Zoo Quest, a programme that involved Attenborough and a curator from London Zoo heading into the world's jungles, caging animals and shipping them back to Blighty. Some of the creatures never made it to London Zoo, but joined the Attenborough menagerie on Richmond Hill.
"There used to be a partition in this room. One half was my son's bedroom; one was…

Business Monday
Tierra Nueva: A sweet business adds 'edible coffee' to its line of chocolates
John Alexander, the president of Tierra Nueva Fine Cocoa in Miami Gardens, wanted to be very clear about what his company does: "We make chocolate. We don't melt chocolate."
Alexander, who arrived in Miami from Cuba in 1959, pointed out that Tierra Nueva is the only company that really produces chocolate in Florida and the Southeast on an industrial scale.
"There are a lot of companies that buy chocolate in bulk, melt it down and convert it into different products and shapes," said Alexander, who founded Miami-based Camrose Trading, a large, diversified distribution company, and grew it into a multimillion-dollar enterprise.
"We import select cocoa mass and cocoa butter from Ecuador, Peru and the Dominican Republic and convert it into chocolate at our plant." Cocoa solids and cocoa butter are heated and mixed with sugar and other ingredients in a vat, kneaded for hours, checked for uniform quality and consistency, tempered, cooled and finally poured into molds.
Tierra Nueva can produce milk, dark and white chocolate, and it adds nuts and flavors — like orange — all depending on what customers want.
There are only a few other companies that actually produce large volumes of chocolate in the U.S., like industry giants Mars and Hershey.
About six years ago Alexander and his partners, including Brazil's Cruz family, which has about 130 years of experience in coffee, cocoa and chocolate, decided to set up a chocolate plant in Miami Gardens for producing private label chocolates.
Studies showed that most of the private label chocolates sold in the U.S. came from producers in Eastern Europe, Spain and France. While only a small part of the total U.S. chocolate market, private label sales were still very attractive. But major players like Mars and Hershey did not compete since volumes were too small.
So the group set up Tierra Nueva as a Florida company in 2009, found a suitable location in Miami Gardens, imported a chocolate plant from Brazil, hired chocolate production specialists and began making chocolate in 2011.
Miami offered the best strategic location for importing raw materials and shipping products to customers in the U.S. and overseas, Alexander noted.
Tierra Nueva's plant has the capacity to produce nearly 1.6 million pounds of chocolate per month, and 65 employees work in production, quality control, packaging, sales and other activities.
The company began selling private label chocolates to local retail chains, like Sedano's and Navarro Discount Pharmacies (Navarro's exclusive label is Vida Mia), and expanded through distributors and direct contacts with other retailers. Private labels allow U.S. retailers to offer customers quality chocolate at better prices than the dominant brands.
Today, Tierra Nueva sells its own chocolate brands — Cruz Classic and Cruz Origin Supreme — and private label chocolates to about 30,000 retail locations throughout the U.S. It also sells its products in Latin America and Japan. Cruz Classic bars are a value brand, while Cruz Origin Supreme is a higher-end chocolate. Cruz Classic bars (4.6 oz.) typically retail for $1, while Cruz Origin (3.5 oz.) sells for $1.99.
Aside from Sedano's and Navarro, Tierra Nueva chocolates — appearing either as Cruz or as private labels — are carried today by chains like Walgreens, Family Dollar, Big Lots and the H-E-B grocery chain, with about 350 stores in Texas. Retailers in places like the Dominican Republic, Panama and Aruba sell large Tierra Nueva souvenir chocolate bars carrying the country's name and emblazoned with colorful images. In addition, cruise lines, like Norwegian, sell Tierra Nueva chocolate bars carrying the name of the line as souvenirs to passengers.
As it began to produce chocolate, the company also developed its own brand of "edible coffee," Alexander said. These are small, sweet squares called "Coffee Thins" available in espresso, latte and house blend flavors. Tierra Nueva makes the thins and smaller Coffee Bites from imported coffee beans. Coffee products and chocolate are made at the same plant, but each product run is entirely separate.
This product is sold under Tierra Nueva's Coffee Thins brand and under private labels. At Walgreens, for example, the thins are sold in different flavors as "Delish" coffee bites.
The company also is making a new coffee base called Cafene, using 100 percent of the coffee bean in the production process. Tierra Nueva will begin promoting Cafene later this year on a wide scale for use in bakeries, ice cream and other food service applications. One major ice cream company is already using Cafene to make a new coffee flavor, Alexander said.
Currently, chocolate accounts for 75 percent of Tierra Nueva's sales, while Coffee Thins represent about 15 percent and Cafene 10 percent, said Victor Garcia, commercial director at Tierra Nueva.
Most sales — about 95 percent — go to domestic customers, he added.
Last year, Tierra Nueva sold 1.4 million pounds of chocolate and 250,000 pounds of Coffee Thins. (The volume of finished goods made at the plant is much smaller than production capacity.)
For 2015, the company is projecting sales of 1.8 million pounds of chocolate and 650,000 pounds of coffee products, mostly Coffee Thins.
"People love to drink coffee, and Coffee Thins are a tasty, natural energy bar that you can take with you," Alexander said. The company already sells Coffee Thins at many retailers, and is negotiating with a major coffee chain to carry the thins at their stores, he said.
"Coffee consumption is increasing all over the world, and we sell coffee you can eat."

Best Scrap Metal costs Australia?
The Cost of scrap metal trades essentially like a securities trade does in the Australia. This suggests the spot value that you may get for your scrap metals today could be by and large extraordinary tomorrow. Australia scrap metal costs are moreover spoken to by regional and neighborhood ask for, so the costs in Sydney can be through and through not the same as the costs in Brisbane, Melbourne or Adelaide. However all ranges make them thing in like way: you can offer scrap metal to benefit.
The technique of offering scrap metal is genuinely clear.
Discover your scrap metal shipper. A couple of shippers are required by neighborhood laws to only game plan in scrap metals. Others are done reusing centers. You will find openly and restrictive scrap yards depending upon your range. Most Australia laws will oblige you to neighborhood your close-by scrap vendor and work with them.
Pass on the scrap metal to your trader. In the event that you're wanting to scrap your auto, then you may need the scrap metal trader transport your vehicle from your property. Else you'll have to take the scrap to your dealer since you'll benefit that way.
Guarantee the scrap metal is spotless. From sand in Aluminium containers to interlaced metals or blends, various states in the Australia control the way of scrap metal that can be passed on to a vendor. Considering this quality, you'll have the ability to appreciate what scrap costs are available to you.
Exactly when getting some data about metal reusing costs, there are all things considered two sorts that are analyzed: ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Each metal is then named an assessment in perspective of the condition of the scrap showed. By then, the scrap metal will be weighed and you'll be offered a rate that relies on upon the spot cost of the day with a shipper premium included – they should benefit too.
What Is the Complexity Among Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Scrap?
This is the issue that essentially every scrap vendor in the Australia replies at any rate once consistently. Truth be told the differentiation among ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals is truly direct. Ferrous metals contain press and non-ferrous metals don't. Right when looking ordinary piece of scrap metal, in any case, it can be difficult to recognize whether there is any iron contained inside it.
Ferrous metals are used as an aftereffect of their inflexibility. They tend to be more strong than various metals, making them accommodating for building platforms, skyscrapers, and private hotel. Roadways, prepare tracks and even the sharp edges in your kitchen are all normally made with ferrous metals. Strong metal, made iron, smooth steel, and carbon steel are just a few instance of the ferrous metals you'll find.
Since the carbon inside the metal mulls over oxidization (the specific term for rust), it can be anything other than hard to tell various ferrous metals. Most ferrous metals furthermore tend to be appealing. This is the most generally perceived scrap on the planet, with more than 1 billion tons of steel being made every year and 500 million tons of it beginning from reused materials.
Non-ferrous metals restrict utilization better, yet they similarly tend to be more moaldable than ferrous metals. This permits them to be made into a shape that is strong and usable. They're furthermore not alluring, which makes them supportive to be used around power and PC sections. The most surely understood non-ferrous metal that is reused is Aluminium.
There's In like manner a Third Scrap Metal Class to Consider
Here and there secluding the scrap metal from a generous thing is troublesome for the proprietor of the scrap to do. Would you be able to imagine endeavoring to scrap your own particular auto into its base metal parts to then pass on it to a vendor? Then again endeavoring to disassemble a garments washer so you can scrap the metal sections inside? Subsequently, you'll see that various scrap vendors will offer a third esteeming class considering the mechanical assembly or vehicle being scrapped.
A couple of traders may offer a level rate for all mass scrap metal that is offered in this structure. Others may isolate it by machine or vehicle. For example: one vendor may offer one rate for all family mechanical assemblies that are being scrapped while another offers a specific rate for dryers, another rate for coolers, and a third rate for garments washers.
You won't move the rate for scrap metal when you offer an auto or machine as scrap. This is in light of the fact that the dealer needs to destroy the vehicle or machine to get to the useable metals. You'll likely be offered a decreased rate considering the greatness of the vehicle or mechanical assembly. Regardless of the way that the costs are lower, the favorable position is clear – you no more have the scrap metal devouring up room on your property and there's even exchange out your wallet or tote.
