If you only remember one thing about our justice system, remember this: Even though our governments pay for everything, our courts and judges are independent of government. No government can tell a court or judge how to decide a case.
Judicial independence is the cornerstone of our justice system. Judicial independence means that judges are free to make their decisions without interference or influence from any source, including elected officials like Members of the Legislature or Members of Parliament. Even the Prime Minister of Canada cannot influence a court decision.
Judges have a responsibility to listen to both sides of the case and then to make impartial, fair decisions based on the evidence and the law.
If a judge felt pressure from the government to decide the case in a particular way, that could be very unfair to anyone with a competing interest in the case. The rights of individual citizens would not be protected.
The judge has to feel free to make the right decision - the decision that is consistent with the facts and the law - even if the judge knows that the decision may be unpopular.
Even though they are independent, judges are still accountable for their decisions through the appeals process. Their decisions can be examined by a higher court.
Judges are also responsible to the courts. A judge would never refuse to hear a case because it was going to be difficult or unpopular, but occasionally a judge has to refuse to hear a case because she or he has some sort of prior connection with one of the parties, or some other conflict of interest.
Where the conflict is slight, the judge may disclose the connection to both parties and allow the lawyers in the case to raise any concerns they have with the judge continuing to hear the case. Its important that both parties feel confident that the judge will be impartial. For example, if the case involved the judges neighbour, then the neighbour or the judge might feel uncomfortable with the judge hearing the case because they have a relationship outside the courtroom.
Judges may be appointed at any age. Federally appointed judges can serve until the age of 75. Provincial Court judges may work until the age of 70.

Lights, camera, Grozny: Depardieu shoots action movie in Chechnya
June 3 - French actor Gerard Depardieu, who recently became a Russian citizen, shoots an action movie in Chechnya. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: French actor Gerard Depardieu, who recently became a Russian citizen, chose the capital of Chechnya to shoot his new action film. "Turquoise" is a Russian thriller set in Moscow and Grozny, where Depardieu stars with British actress Elizabeth Hurley. Depardieu plays a man whose son was killed and who comes to Russia to find the killers and have his revenge on them, according to the film's synopsis published on the official website. The night scenes that were being shot in Grozny have numerous gun fights and car chases, but the film crew and Depardieu himself look quite cheerful. Depardieu, talking with the other actors and the film crew during the break, said that Grozny had welcomed them well. "We are very well in Grozny. Everybody's smiling. Girls are beautiful. Food is yummy," Depardieu said laughing. The actor first came to Chechnya to celebrate Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov's birthday last year. He quit France after criticizing a planned 75-percent tax on millionaires, and soon after received a hug and a passport from President Vladimir Putin and heaped praise on the Russian leader - earning criticism from opposition and rights campaigners. After Depardieu was presented with his Russian passport, Kadyrov invited Depardieu to live in Chechnya.

The Boeri family have been cold pressing olives here since the early 1900's but the uniqueness of the valley was noted in Roman times when only "freemen" we're allowed to cultivate the olives. It has given rise to a unique variety of olive - the taggiasca which Franco and his ancestors have made world famous through their cold pressing techniques and processes. With only 6000 olive trees on 26 hectares, the ROI Estate has won applaud from culinary chefs and restaurants the world over. It was wonderful to be taken on a tour of their mill and a free tasting of three distinct cooking oils. The family welcome visits all year to the mill and you can even send your children on a tour in season when they collect the olives straight from the trees and run through the process of production. It is evident that Franco and his family respect their unique environment and are making an extraordinary enterprise from their local olives. We left with lots of goodies and are sure to return again and again in the future. It is a fabulous trip with a delightful destination.

A Ligurian Olive Grove
We may be in Nice but being so close to the Italian border demands a visit to the world famous olive groves of Liguria high up in the Mediterranean Valley of Argentina! The ROI Estate of Franco Boeri is only a two hour spectacular drive along the sky high autostrada through numerous tunnels as you pass along the Cöte d'Azur and the play places of the very rich and famous including Monte-Carlo, Monaco and Cap-Martine. As is often typical with borders, the tempo changes as soon as you cross into Italy and we see less expensive villas and more commercial enterprises particularly greenhouses of every description in every possible elevation! When you get to Sam Remo you follow the signs inland to the "Valle Argentina" and your destination village of Badalucco high up in the spectacular mountains of chestnut trees yet only 30k from the Mediterranean Sea.

Mike Hoey is a professional golfer from Northern Ireland who plays regularly on the European Tour. He has played in two Major Championships as well as two World Golf Championship events and lives in Templepatrick with his wife Bev and two small children.
Mike has won five titles and he is currently playing his seventh consecutive season on the European Tour.
For the last two years, Mike has worn Kinesio every day if he's playing golf - whether it's a practise match or a competition match. The tape is such a feature of his life that his two year old daughter Erin now copies her dad and has to have tape on her feet too!
Says Mike: "A couple of years ago I used to suffer from sore feet after a round, along with mild Plantar Fasciitis. I tried a number of different orthotics but I didn't find them comfortable. My Sports Chiropractor Shane Lawlor suggested trying Kinesio tape daily to give my feet support through the arches. Kinesio - in conjunction with joint mobilisation, soft tissue work and foot exercises - has eliminated the symptoms and discomfort I used to get."
"Kinesio helps the fatigue in my legs and feet and I'm able to recover far more quickly between rounds now. I often don't finish until 8pm and have to be back at the course for 7am the next day. Before I used Kinesio, the discomfort in my feet made this difficult but now I can play in more comfort. I walk about seven miles per day when competing so having the tape in place really makes a difference".
The Kinesio UK team is delighted to hear that Kinesio is working so well for Mike and wish him all the best for the remainder of the season.

The other day I did an interview buy sildenafil, acquire lioresal. with a publication about using landing pages. The interviewer asked me when businesses should use landing pages. It was a great question so I thought I would share my answer with you here too.
By general definition, a "landing page" is any web page that receives visitors (e.g. an entry page.) So, in essence, you could use any web page in your website as a landing page for paid search. One of the most important factors though with identifying a good landing page is its relevance to the visitor in context with the purpose of their visit.
Many e-commerce websites use their product pages as good landing pages for specific product-relevant keywords. Viagra Professional buy For example, sending a visitor to a "pink ipod nano" product page after the visitor searched on the keyword "pink ipod nano" and clicked through an equally relevant and communicated ad makes sense. In this scenario, using a landing page is a no-brainer. The basic goal is to create higher relevance for a visitor within the context of their intentions as sometimes identifiable by their keyword usage.
Cool – pretty straight-forward.
However, my company spends 75% of our time "converting" search engine marketing, not just setting up and managing it. buy fildena Website conversion is what adds business value, not generating traffic. So, what happens when a product page (using the e-commerce example again) converts well for natural search traffic but terrible for paid search visitors?
Different visitor segments DO convert differently for varying reasons including usage behaviors of paid versus natural search. What do you do in this case? You create "strategic landing ages."
A strategic landing page is developed separate from your website and may even contain a "no-follow" script so search index won't index it. It provides a testing platform to optimize your paid search conversion while not affecting the current performance of your product page sex srilanka. in converting natural search.
By using a strategic landing page, you can test, using an application like Google's website optimizer various elements including headlines, product images, pricing, call-to-actions and so forth. acquire baclofen You can also filter through visitor intentions by offering call-to-actions different than "buy now" that could include informational downloads or how-to videos that are often consumed prior to a purchasing decision. In any case, strategic landing pages enable you to test precise keywords, segmented off from other channels and without affecting the overall performance of your other visitor channels.
I don't recommend having a huge number of strategic landing pages because of the management chaos it could create. However, identify PPC keywords with high volume and high cost that are performing poorly. Segment them off buy dapoxetine online and develop strategic landing pages for them. Add tracking and start testing.

Absorption in No External World: 170 Issues In Mind-Only Buddhism
By: Jeffrey Hopkins
Our Price:
Members Price:
This stand-alone book is the final volume of a trilogy on Mind-Only that Hopkins composed over the last twenty-two years. Here Hopkins presents opinions on crucial issues from twenty-two commentaries on Dzong-ka-ba's The Essence of Eloquence, considered by his followers to be so challenging that it is called his steel bow and steel arrow, hard to pull but powerful when one succeeds. The careful and intense analysis with which these scholar-yogis probe these 170 issues over time opens a door into patterns of thought that constitute the environment of the text. Hopkins' lively style draws the reader into the drama, stimulating the reader's metaphysical imagination.

Aryadeva's Four Hundred Stanzas on the Middle Way
By: Aryadeva / Gyel-tsap
Our Price:
Members Price:
Gyel-tsap Dar-ma-rin-chen states that Aryadeva's Four Hundred Stanzas was written to explain how, according to Nagarjuna, the practice of the stages of yogic deeds enables those with a Mahayana motivation to attain Buddhahood. Both Nagarjuna and Aryadeva urge those who want to understand reality to induce direct experience of ultimate truth through philosophic inquiry and reasoning. Aryadeva's text is more than a commentary on Nagarjuna's Treatise on the Middle Way, because it also explains the extensive paths associated with conventional truths. The Four Hundred Stanzas is one of the fundamental works of Mahayana Buddhist philosophy, and Gyel-tsap's commentary is arguably the most complete and important of the Tibetan commentaries on it.

Chod Practice in the Bon Tradition
By: Alejandro Chaoul
Our Price:
Members Price:
This book is the first to trace the history of Chod practice in Tibet's indigenous Bon tradition. Chod ("cutting through") is a meditative practice in which the practitioner imagines offering his or her body in sacrifice through elaborate contemplative visualization. Although a meditative practice, Chod is not done sitting comfortably on a cushion in a shrine room, but instead is often practiced in terrifying places like cemeteries or charnal grounds.

This splendid resource for Chod practitioners contains the Chod sadhana written by the Fourteenth Karmapa. This daily practice text is given in three versions: Tibetan, a phonetic rendering of the Tibetan, and English translation. Jamgon Kongtrul's commentary on the sadhana supplies necessary amplification and clarification of the sadhana; it is given both in English and Tibetan. An important feature of the commentary is the inclusion of illustrations for the different stages of visualization discussed within the commentary. All in all, this is an essential practice tool and reference guide for the serious Chod practitioner.

Kongtrul also brings together the most significant texts on the rites of initiation, empowerments for practice, and wide-ranging instructions and guides for the support of practitioners.
Choosing Reality: A Buddhist View of Physics and the Mind<
By: Wallace, B. Allen
Our Price:
Members Price:
For Centuries Scientists and Philosophers have pondered the relationship between scientific theory and reality. Some have argued the "realist" position that science presents our best approximation of the natural world as it exists independently of human language and concepts. Others have long countered that humanity has no way of fathoming any reality independently of our modes of observation and conceptual frameworks.
Choosing Simplicity: A Commentary on the Bhikshuni Pratimoksha
By Bhikshuni Wu Yin
Our Price:
Members Price:
Choosing Simplicity discusses the precepts and lifestyle of fully ordained nuns within the Buddhist tradition. The ordination vows act as guidelines to promote harmony both within the individual and within the community by regulating and thereby simplifying one's relationships to other sangha members and laypeople , as well as to possessions, food, clothing, and shelter. More than a handbook for a Buddhist monastic life, this text offers guidelines to all who wish to conduct their day-to day lives more mindfully. Those who have not chosen to dwell in a religious community still need to live peacefully with their neighbours. Being clear about boundaries, motivations, and how actions may be interpreted by others can be helpful.
Clear Mirror: A Traditional Account of Tibet's Golden Age
By: Sonam Gyaltsen
Our Price:
Members Price:
Sakyapa Sonam Gyaltsen (1312-1375), born into the powerful Khon family that ruled much of Tibet, was teacher and mentor to many great masters of all traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. He is still widely revered for his scholarship and sanctity. Lama Choedak Yuthok was born in a yak-hair tent in Central Tibet in 1954. After becoming a monk and studying for twelve years under the Most Venerable Chogay Trichen Rinpoche, he completed a three-year solitary retreat. Since 1982, he has served as interpreter for prominent teachers from all four traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.
Compassionate Action, The Teachings of Chatral Rinpoche
Our Price:
Members Price:
Chatral Rinpoche is known as one of the most compassionate Bodhisattvas and greatest masters in the history of Tibetan Buddhism. In 1947 he was the head spritual master for Regent Reting, who was at the time the political ruler of Tibet. He is the vajra regent, or principal lineage holder of the three major lineages of the Nyingma School: Longchen Nyingthig, Dudjom Tersar, and Sera Khandro. He rescues millions of endagered animals each year and has been a strict vegetarian for over forty-five years. Now in his 90�s, he is as active as ever, helping humans and animals alike with an unfathomably deep compassion.

The Mahayanasamgraha, published here with its Indian and Tibetan commentaries in three volumes, presents virtually everything anybody might want to know about the Yogacara School of mahayana Buddhism. It discusses in detail the nature and operation of the eight kinds of consciousness, the often-misunderstood notion of "mind only" (cittamatra), dependent origination, the cultivation of the path and its fruition in terms of the four wisdoms, and the three bodies (kayas) of a buddha.

Book 13 presents the philosophical systems of India and Tibet, according to the writings of Longchen Rabjam and the revelations of Orgyan Lingpa. First, it discusses the views attributed to classical Hinduism, Jainism, materialism, and nihilism. Second, it describes the standpoints of the Vaibhashika and Sautrantika exponents of the lesser vehicle, exemplified by pious attendants and hermit buddhas, and the Cittamatra ("mind only") and Madhyamaka ("middle way") commentators of the great vehicle, exemplified by great bodhisattva beings. Third, it analyzes the inner and outer vehicles of the Buddhist tantras, with an emphasis on the three classes of the great perfection. Fourth, it documents the lines of philosophical transmission within Tibet, including Bon, Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya, Kadampa, and Geluk. It concludes with an extract from a well-known treatise of the Fifth Dalai Lama, applying the techniques of consequential reasoning to the first chapter of Vasubandhu's
Treasury of Phenomenology.

Members Price:
You save $19.98!
In Foundations of the Buddhist Path, which covers the first ten of the treatise's twenty-five books, the author surveys the scope of the entire work and then begins with the topics that set the cornerstones for all subsequent Buddhist practice: what constitutes proper spiritual apprenticeship, how to receive the teachings, how to make the best use of this life, and how to motivate ourselves to generate effort on the spiritual path. He then describes refuge and the vows that define the path of individual liberation before turning to the bodhisattva's way--buddha nature, how to uplift the mind to supreme awakening, the bodhisattva's training, and the attainments of the paths leading to supreme awakening.

Fun with LeechesPosted by danaandtammy on Monday May 4, 2009 Under Kid Pictures, Photographs
It was the first weekend for fishing here in Wisconsin. Papa Swany took Emma fishing off of the dock at the Maloney's house. Emma didn't pay much attention to the fishing. Instead she spent the time playing with one of her favorite animals–leeches. The following pictures are from last summer, but Emma was just as in love with the leeches yesterday as she was last year.

So lovely, indeed! I love hearing about all your dinner parties, even though I know they are few and far between now. Lovely photos, as always.ReplyDelete
PS... Zach needs to sleep.
That little face!! He's so cute!! I hope you manage to sleep a bit more this week!ReplyDelete
i can so remember those days but they will be gone in a flashReplyDelete
he is like the cutest thing, oh man. sorry about your new nighttime adventures though....ReplyDelete
is there a way to not get him up and moving around? then i'm afraid he might make that a habit!Replies
I know, you're right about the habit thing... these little ones form bad sleep habits sooooo easily! I tried to make it as un-fun as possible! He didn't do it last night, thankfully. Actually looking back, I think he may have been going through a growth spurt because he was waking every 1-2 hours all weekend, but it seems to (hopefully) be better again.Delete

Cunard Partners With The Juilliard School to Present Jazz Performances Aboard Queen Mary 2 Transatlantic Crossings in 2010
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Jan. 7 /CNW/ -- Cunard Line, operator of the most famous ocean liners in the world, is pleased to announce a partnership with The Juilliard School that will present stellar jazz performances on select 2010 eastbound Transatlantic Crossings aboard Queen Mary 2. Students and faculty from Juilliard, which has set America's standard for education in the performing arts, will perform programmes in the ship's Royal Court Theatre, treating guests to the best in classic and contemporary jazz. These presentations are part of Cunard's entertainment and award-winning enrichment programme, which showcases a variety of compelling entertainers - from new and emerging world-class talent to today's most enduring and iconic artists. Last August, Juilliard Jazz scholar Jumaane Smith became the first student from the school to take the stage onboard Queen Mary 2, presenting a trumpet recital that proved to be very popular with the voyage's guests.
About Juilliard
The Juilliard School established this country's standard for education in the performing arts, beginning with music in 1905. In 1951, its Dance Division was established, with combined training in contemporary and ballet technique. Juilliard became part of Lincoln Center in 1968, and added a four-year drama program. A residence hall - the School's first - was completed in 1990, and in 2001, Juilliard broke new ground with the addition of its jazz program; a graduate program in Historical Performance begins in Fall 2009, the same year that Juilliard inaugurates its partnership with the Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. As Juilliard commences its second century of excellence, it is expanding its facilities with a 39,000 square-foot addition, due for completion in 2009. Currently more than 800 young artists from 39 states (plus Washington, D.C.) and 46 foreign countries attend Juilliard. For more information, visit Juilliard's Web site at www.juilliard.edu.

Food Production & Cooking Level 2 Apprenticeship at Havering College of Further and Higher Education
Course description
This course is for people who would like a qualification in Catering, who wish to work, as well as study. You must secure employment and be given day release to attend college one day a week (this is usually a Monday as these are quiet days within our industry). Both the employer and the college must agree to you joining the apprenticeship scheme. You will have one year to complete the course.
All aspects of cooking are covered. The units you can achieve depend on the range of foods or service your employer provides. i.e. if your restaurant does not serve any pasta dishes you will not be able to complete the pasta section.
Entry requirements
You have to obtain employment on an apprenticeship (we have some vacancies on our college website).
An assessor will call at your place of work on an agreed date and watch you work. They will record how and what you have achieved and take photos as evidence. You will be given feedback on your work and the arrangements for the following week's observations.
There are a few compulsory subjects, such as health and safety and hygiene, that must be completed the others are in agreement with the assessor and yourself.
Future opportunities
Apply via our website for a position on an apprenticeship in hospitality or find and employer who will take on an apprentice (if you choose this route the employer will have to be assessed from the apprenticeship scheme).
This can lead to employment with your current employer (as an apprentice you will only be on a yearly contract). This could enhance your chances of employment in another establishment. Good candidates may also be offered the chance to do an NVQ Level 3 at Havering College.
How to apply
If you want to apply for this course, you will need to contact Havering College of Further and Higher Education directly.

OCEANSIDE — Business owners, downtown residents and community police met for the monthly MainStreet Oceanside Morning Meeting Aug. 6 to discuss downtown issues, including skateboard traffic.
Rick Wright, MainStreet Oceanside executive director, said business owners he talked with said skateboarders are having a negative impact on downtown businesses.
Several business owners and residents agreed with him in part.
Some said recreational skateboarders cause a nuisance when they skate on business property.
Others said they are uncomfortable sharing the sidewalk with fast moving skateboard traffic.
"The only thing that scares me is hearing that click down the sidewalk," Mary Ann Thiem, Oceanside resident, said. "They're passing an inch past me. I'm too old to fall down on the sidewalk."
Speakers added that skateboarding is part of the Southern California lifestyle. It is a popular recreational sport and common mode of transportation.
Skateboarding laws are decided by each city.
Most cities address recreational skateboarding by posting signs where it is not allowed, but cities seldom have rules that govern skateboarding as a mode of transportation.
This seems to be the case in Oceanside.
Wright said Oceanside has a blanket law that does not allow skateboarding in commercial districts including the downtown area.
"They are not allowed to skateboard at the amphitheater, pier and downtown area," Wright said.
He added there are no signs outside downtown shops stating skateboarding is illegal.
Wright said this presented a quandary when a tourist, who was unaware of the law, was fined for skateboarding downtown.
Several speakers said they disagree with the current $300 fine charged to skateboarders and suggested education on safe skating practices is needed.
Another short sight is that the city does not address skateboarding for transportation.
Several business owners said their employees travel to work by skateboard and that they see an increase in skateboarding for transportation in the future. Some noted that it is not just kids who are skateboarding. They said the age of local skateboarders ranges from teens to 40-year-olds and beyond.
Business owner John Daley suggested that skateboarders follow the same rules as bicyclists.
Wright said in an e-mail following the meeting that he was asked by the city manager if MainStreet Oceanside members had a problem with skateboarders downtown and that he would transmit the information he gathered talking with downtown stakeholders to the city manager.
Oceanside has made concerted efforts to accommodate recreational skateboarders with a citywide skate park system that began in 2001. Presently there are two concrete city skate parks at Martin Luther King, Jr. Park and Melba Bishop Park and two neighborhood skate areas at John Landes Park and Libby Lake Park.
Eileen Turk, Parks and Recreation division manager, said a third concrete skate park on Alex Road and Foussat Road is under construction and additional skate spots around the city are planned for the future. Updates to the skate parks at John Landes Park and Libby Lake Park are also planned.
MainStreet Oceanside is a nonprofit 501c that works to promote and revitalize the downtown area. It has more than 100 business members and runs the weekly Farmers Market, evening Sunset Market and Beach Services. MainStreet Oceanside is located at 701 Mission

Hi all wondered if you could help: Our small company arranged marketing courses for people and we have not been receiving many enquiries from 2 of our locations, any ideas how we could go about increasing enquiries? Marketing ideas etc? thanks
Sounds like you need to get some data first. Trial & error is an expensive way to spend marketing dollars & effort, and sometimes it can do your brand more harm than good.
I kinda agree with an earlier poster – hire people who are good at marketing. And a good marketer already KNOWS what people will respond to and HOW to reach them best BEFORE pitching the value prop or judging the results.
Start off by interviewing your market – current customers are a good start. What were the reasons why they bought your product/service? How did they learn about it? What made them move when they did? Are there key

Shrewsbury is talking about a smart growth, New Urbanism-type plan for its Rte. 9 corridor -- replacing unloved and ugly auto-centric suburban sprawl with a more traditional "town center" idea.
Some people think "smart growth" is a code word for "no growth," but that's not the case. Instead, it's development that balanced: making it appealing for walking around as well as accessible by car.
Buildings could have ground floor retail with residences upstairs, the Boston Globe reports. And, the buildings would need to have pedestrian-friendly features like front patios and seating areas (I find little more delightful in an urban environment on a nice spring day than strolling a wide, well-landscaped sidewalk filled with people enjoying the day at outdoor cafes).
These kinds of developments can still provide parking -- but not as a sea of asphalt with buildings in the middle, hostile to any access by foot. Put parking in the rear, and things work well for everyone -- think Concord center, for example.
There's a bit more info on the Shrewsbury town Web site.

Today's kids may have social media mastered, but when it comes to being savvy about the content they're coming across, they still have some learning to do. A study published by Stanford late last year concluded that many school-age kids struggle to distinguish trustworthy sources from ones that aren't.
There is no changing the fact that kids spend a lot of their time on devices—and that a lot of the information they're receiving about the world around them comes from those devices. Ever had a child wanting to share something they read on the internet, and it turned out to be totally false? They're being fed so much material at such a quick pace, it's no wonder they don't question whether their source is credible. How would they know to ask that question in the first place?
It's our job as parents to sit down with our kids and show them the ropes of the digital world. Make it a learning experience for the both of you: ask your child to teach you about something they're proficient in, like Snapchat, then offer to teach them how to tell the difference between fake accounts and verified ones, for example.
Even a simple conversation about ads and miscellaneous links can go a long way. The earlier kids are taught, the better off they'll be.
In a world where fake news can go so far as inciting real-life danger, digital literacy has become an essential 21st century skill.
Here are some websites aimed at increasing online critical thinking skills:

This chapter begins with a discussion of the various ways a corporation can expand. We briefly consider successor liability—whether a successor corporation, such as a corporation that purchases all of the assets of another corporation, is liable for debts, lawsuits, and other liabilities of the purchased corporation. We then turn to appraisal rights, which are a shareholder's right to dissent from a corporate expansion. Next, we look at several aspects, such as jurisdiction and taxation, of foreign corporations—corporations that are incorporated in a state that is different from the one in which they do business. We conclude the chapter with dissolution of the corporation.

BERLIN (Reuters) - French President Francois Hollande pledged on Tuesday to press ahead with his reform drive after his ruling Socialist Party suffered heavy losses in weekend local elections.
The party and its left-wing allies lost 26 of the 61 French departments (counties) they had previously ruled to former president Nicolas Sarkozy and his conservative allies.
The Socialists have seen their support crumble as Hollande and his government have failed to live up to promises to cut unemployment while tax hikes early in his term hit voters hard.
Hollande hopes to turn the euro zone's second-biggest economy around with reforms cutting corporate payroll charges and a bill currently in parliament that would open many professions up to more competition.
"The course has been set and we will stick to it," Hollande told journalists in Berlin after meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Hollande's reformist Prime Minister Manuel Valls has attributed the Socialists' poor showing in the weekend elections to divisions within the left rather than voter frustration with government policy.
However, senior Green politician Cecile Duflot, who was housing minister in the previous Socialist-led government, accused Valls of not learning from losses in municipal elections last year.
"The course set by the government and the way it exercises authority are two factors for this (latest) failure," she said in an interview with Le Monde newspaper.
"Determination is a quality, but stubbornness is a fault," she added.

For millions of kids, teenagers, and underpaid teacher, this is a magical time of year. This is when the end of the school year is finally in sight. It's no longer some distant dream or tempting thought, not unlike that of prisoners counting down the days of their sentence. Then, just when it feels like you'll never escape, you see the light at the end of the tunnel and it's getting so close.
It's a wonderful, albeit agonizing feeling for some. I've made clear before that I despised high school. I was miserable, unhealthy, unattractive, and had the social skills of a lobotomized squirrel. I did get good grades, but that was hollow consolation at best. Had it not been for the hot teacher I had my sophomore year, I'd have done everything I could to just forget it.
I know, and sincerely hope, that my high school experience wasn't typical. I hope it's gotten better since I was in school. Even if school isn't making kids too miserable right now, I'm sure some of them are still eager to get it over with and enjoy their summer. I can't make time go faster, but I can make it feel less agonizing with a light application of crude, sexy humor.
That's why I'm dedicating this week's Sexy Sunday Thoughts to all those eager students and teachers who can't start their summer vacation soon enough. To those desperately watching the clock every day, I say hang in there. It's almost over. Let these sexy jokes help tide you over until then.
"Isn't it somewhat hypocritical that we call our genitals junk, but spend an inordinate amount of time cleaning and caring for it?"
We call our genitals a lot of crazy things. Some are cute. Some are funny. Some make no goddamn sense. I'd use a lot of words to describe my penis and how I feel about it. Junk isn't one of them.
I don't know where this came from. I don't know why it's funny. Maybe it's just the erotica/romance writer in me, but the way we treat our genitals is serious. If we treat them like junk, our weekend isn't just ruined. Our entire species is in danger. Think about that next time you call your nether regions junk.
"When you think about it, bondage has unique appeal to those who lazy and unmotivated."
I'm sure there are all sorts of complex, psychological underpinnings behind bondage and BDSM. I've even talked about a few of them. Sometimes, though, there doesn't need to be some complex mental gymnastics to explain why some enjoy it. Sometimes, something as simple as laziness can fill in the blanks.
Think about it. If you're on the receiving end of bondage, you don't have to do anything. You can't. You just have to stay tied up while your partner does all the work. For those who sucked at gym class, I can see how that would appeal to certain people.
"When you think about it, those who use elaborate costumes to get in the mood are just taking the scenic route to O-Town."
I'm often astonished by the time and effort some people put into their cos-play costumes for comic book conventions. I'm just as astonished/aroused by the time and effort some people put into their kinky sex costumes. Just go to any gay pride parade and marvel at the intricacies of their attire.
Some would argue that such effort into such a basic act is a waste. I disagree. In the same way we sometimes take the scenic route to the same destination, it's just one of the many ways to enjoy the process of sex and not just the outcome. As an aspiring erotica/romance writer, that sort of thing brings tears of joy to my eyes.
"There are certain beautiful women who look at hot gay guys and see it as a challenge."
Back in the late 90s, Ricky Martin was the hottest piece of man meat on the planet. I would see grown women pick up a magazine with his image on the cover and go into a semi-orgasmic frenzy. It was a strange, but interesting time, at least in the sense when magazines were still relevant.
When he turned out to be gay, that disappointed a lot of women. Some of them, however, weren't dissuaded. Some of them actually said out loud, in public, and in a sober state of mind that they could change that and not in the "Pray Away the Gay" sort of way either.
I don't know if it's ego or frustration, but those women kind of scared me. They thought they could mentally coerce a man into wanting to have sex with her. As a man, I know that if someone needs convincing to get horny around someone, then it's just not meant to be.
"Some people are willing to accept alternative facts, but would probably draw the line at alternative orgasms."
A lot of people roll their eyes at "alternative facts," but will make every excuse to use them when it suits their agenda. I generally don't argue with these people. They're not going to be convinced otherwise. I just smile to myself and imagine what would happen if they used that same approach to their sex lives. I'm pretty sure their excuses would fail them.
"When someone spits on us, it's disgusting. When we willingly lick the spit out of their mouths during a kiss, it's romantic."
This is another one of those odd quirks in our social behavior. When you hate someone, you spit on them to demonstrate your hatred. It's widely accepted as one of the most hateful things you can do to a person or group.
Conversely, if you're with someone you love, one way you express that love is to rub your lips and tongues together. You're practically slurping up their spit. That's love while the other is hate. Does anyone else see an inherent disconnect there?
"A woman who says she likes exotic accents is just saying politely that all the men from her hometown are assholes."
I don't deny it. Accents are sexy. Few things soak a woman's panties than a foreign man with an exotic accent. Why else would so many women still want to have sex with Sean Connery?
I get it. Exotic things can be sexy. At the same time, however, I also think a woman who really loves exotic accents is saying something about the men from her hometown, albeit indirectly. If she has to look to another country to find a man to make her horny, then I think that says more about the men she's known than it does her.
I hope that put a smile on your face or a awkward boner in your pants. Either way, you're welcome. Again, I know it's not going those last few days of school any less painful. That pain will pass though. If I can survive with my sanity somewhat intact, then anyone can.

Workers and employers alike can take steps to maintain healthy workplaces, experts have claimed.
According to Ambius, an expert in creating healthy working environments, there are a number of things that can be done to prevent workers from falling ill and taking sick leave.
Trisha Haughey, the company's managing director, observed: 'It is widely accepted that January and February are difficult months in terms of employee motivation and sickness levels.
'Creating a healthy work environment and improving employee wellbeing can go a long way to improve employee engagement and, in turn, productivity at a time when this is so critical for businesses.'
Tips include placing plants in the workplace to remove toxins from the air and encouraging people to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables.
Workers should be provided with a water dispenser, with extra fluids recommended for those returning to work after a spell of sickness.
Hot water and an effective hand-drying method should be provided in washrooms, and shared items - including photocopiers, phones and door handles - should be cleaned regularly with sanitary wipes.
Employers should also advise ill staff to go home, as this will help them to recover more quickly and reduce the likelihood of other workers becoming infected.

Extensive advances in the field of Astrochemistry have been made thanks to simultaneous efforts in astronomical infrared spectroscopy and to dedicated laboratory simulations and theoretical studies aimed at reproducing observed spectra throughout the interstellar medium. The molecular complexity, both organic and mineral, found in inter/proto-stellar and solar system environments have been attributed to primarily grain-surface and bulk chemistry reactions.
This symposium will be comprised of contributions from participants working on dedicated laboratory experiments, theoretical calculations of basic processes and chemical reaction networks, as well as astronomical observations of complex molecules and, more generally solid state materials in space. This gathering is in honor of a major influence to this area of Astrochemistry, Dr. Louis Allamandola, one of the leading spokespersons of the interstellar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) model.

Looking back on it, I'm not sure why I got so jazzed up. Reality is that it was probably a pretty dull day in kid world. The women folk would swarm the kitchen with buzzing chatter (ok let's be honest...gossip) and work on dinner. The men would squeeze together in the cramped living room around the TV to watch football. After we ate, the gals would wash dishes, put away the food (remember food safety, everyone!), clean the kitchen, start the coffee, and gossip some more. As they headed back to the living room, the men would request desserts, tossing their orders over shoulders because football, naps, and gas-passing couldn't wait. If my brothers and I were lucky, one of the younger uncles would start up a Turkey Bowl game in the front yard. We often played in shorts and t-shirts. Many Thanksgivings of my youth were warm and muggy.
Really, there wasn't much excitement at all. The dishes that everyone brought weren't even surprising. There was no anticipation of uncovering casserole dishes to reveal the mysteries of who brought what. We already knew. In my family, with few exceptions, we always have the same thing every year. Maybe you think it is boring, dull, uninspired, lacking of culinary breadth or cunning. To us, it is simply tradition...what made that day Thanksgiving.
My great-grandma, known to all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren as "Grandma Vick," was one of the cooks in my family. She was also a lot of fun, being very spunky. (In her 60s, she taught me how to jump rope.) She had not one, but three "signature dishes." One of them will never be posted here because it violates one of my closely observed dessert food rules: if it ain't chocolate, I probably don't want it. An addendum: fruit is NOT a dessert. I don't give a flying fig what the French think. The recipe, which from here on out shall never be spoken of again, was Lemon Yum-Yums. Secretly, my brothers and I referred to them as "Lemon Yuck-Yucks." Oh, my, we were a clever bunch. All the adult women loved them...kids and adult men did not. Grandma Vick's other famous family recipes were Peppermint Sticks and her much-loved Sweet Potato Crunch.
Sweet Potato Crunch, a sweet potato casserole sans marshmallows, was the dish she brought for Thanksgiving. Every. Single. Year. No one rolled eyes or sighed or wished—even secretly—for those damned gloppy marshmallows. This was one of the highlights, the can't-pass-it-up dishes amongst the many bowls, casseroles, and platters of food. Grandma Vick died in 2000, but we still serve this dish every year. One of my teenage cousins has taken up the tradition of making it.
I know there are tons of sweet potato casseroles out there and most are fairly similar in ingredients and proportions. I don't care. Grandma Vick's Sweet Potato Crunch is the best.
Sweet Potato Crunch
from Ms. enPlace
3 c cooked, mashed sweet potato
½ c sugar2 eggs, beaten½ c butter, melted
½ c milk
½ tsp vanilla
Combine above ingredients and spoon into a greased casserole.
Topping:½ c brown sugar
1 c pecans, chopped
1/3 c flour
1/3 stick butter, melted
Combine topping ingredients and spoon over potato mixture. Bake, uncovered at 350 for about 35 minutes.
1 c pecans, chopped
1/3 c flour
1/3 stick butter, melted
Combine topping ingredients and spoon over potato mixture. Bake, uncovered at 350 for about 35 minutes.
This is all you'll need.
Cook the sweet potatoes by boiling or baking. That can be done the day before if you'd like.
Sometimes I make the topping first just so I can get at the pecans. I love pecans.
The sweet potato mixture. Yummm. Looks a lot like baby food.
After the sweet potato mixture goes in a casserole dish, sprinkle with the topping and bake.
Dig in!
Dig in!
