Left Behind
I imagined the killers might have held my mother under the water until she was dead, so I would try to stay at the bottom of the swimming pool for as long as I could before shooting up to the surface, choking for air. Or I'd float face down, like someone who had just been knocked over the head. Then 13, I envisioned my mother's killers as faceless and unyielding, two brawny men in white orderly uniforms who would one day murder me the way they had murdered her. Though I outgrew my morbid fantasies, I would remain haunted by my mother's mysterious death for the next two decades.
I was 9 when I first heard she had died. My father told me her body had been found in the swimming pool of the Florida mental institution where she was in treatment, that she had gone swimming on a December day in 1979 and drowned. This was the story my maternal grandmother had told him. But the story didn't make sense to me, even then. She was a good swimmer. It was one of the few things I knew about my mother, an aspiring artist who'd walked out on me when I was an infant and whom I'd seen only a handful of times. The other things I knew led me to a question.
"Did she kill herself?" I asked my father.
"I don't know, Lynnie," he said. He put his arm around me, but I couldn't cry, not then.
Later I learned from a cousin that my mother had been murdered, attacked in some way by two attendants at the mental institution. Apparently, only my grandmother knew the details, but I wasn't about to approach her. Grandma Bea couldn't even talk about my mother's life, let alone her death. So I retreated to my underwater fantasies and let the questions go unanswered.
I grew up to be a reporter and to write about the mysteries in the lives of strangers. The mystery in my own life remained unexamined. Then, about 10 years ago, I was at the New York City library doing research on Nexis, and I impulsively entered my mother's name in the newspaper database: Claudia Ermann. An old wire service story from 1983 popped up: "Former suburban Philadelphia doctor accused of sexually and physically abusing patients has avoided hearings by agreeing to give up his medical license." The doctor, John Rosen, "admitted that he left one patient, Gay Claudia Ermann, without proper continuing treatment . . . Ms. Ermann died after a beating inflicted on her while she was being treated by Rosen employees."
I cried, then called my father. He said he had not known the details of the killing -- the abusive doctor, the brutal beating -- and he was very sorry I had to find out. So was I. In my mid-twenties, I wasn't ready to learn more. I was still too afraid that I might suffer my mother's fate.
It wasn't until after I'd celebrated my 32nd birthday -- and finally outlived my mother, who died at 31 -- that I Googled John Rosen and other key words. Immediately, I was hit with a flood of information on the founder of a faddish treatment for schizophrenics. Rosen believed in using talk therapy and confrontation to get inside his patients' delusions. More research turned up a review of a book with a chapter on Rosen, which mentioned that the mother of a Rosen patient had sued him after the death of her daughter.
I located a used copy of Edward Dolnick's Madness on the Couch that night. To my amazement, my mother's name was in the index, albeit misspelled: Ehrmann, Claudia, 116. It was sort of thrilling. But what I read on page 116 devastated me.
"In 1981, for example, Rosen paid $100,000 to settle the case involving the death of a schizophrenic woman, Claudia Ehrmann, who had been under his care. According to prosecutors in the case, Ehrmann died when two of Rosen's attendants tried to force her to speak. One held her by the legs and the other punched or kneed her. (Rosen was not present at the time of the death.) Ehrmann died, the autopsy noted, of 'blunt force injuries of the abdomen.'"
Afterward, I walked 30 blocks in a teary daze. What were they doing to her? Why did they want to get her to speak? Who put her in that terrible place? Was my mother schizophrenic?
I called my father. "She was diagnosed with a lot of things," my dad sighed.

Laurent Koscielny has been passed fit so Arsène Wenger sticks to his 11 that disposed of Liverpool last weekend. I wondered how Arsène would keep his four important midfielders in the same team and the answer is to continue with Aaron Ramsey wide right of the Arsenal attack.
There is of course the slight possibility that Mesut Özil will shift to the flank allowing Ramsey to slot alongside Cazorla but I think that is pretty unlikely. Mesut Özil has kept his central role for many weeks now. The good news for Ramsey is that the German loves to drift into wide positions and chances are that Ramsey will seek to fill those spaces.
Our strength in depth can be seen by glancing over at our bench. None of the returning players are back and also Gabriel misses out to what I assume is an injury of sorts.
Confirmed Line Up:
Subs: Szczesny, Gibbs, Chambers, Flamini, Rosicky, Walcott, Welbeck

KEVIN Keegan has admitted that once he loses the support of Manchester City's long-suffering fans it will be time to walk away from the club.
Despite Wednesday's stunning 10-man FA Cup victory at Tottenham, reports have surfaced that the former England manager has just three games to save his job.
The claims have been swiftly denied by club officials and even through a run of 12 Barclaycard Premiership games without a win, chairman John Wardle has maintained his belief that Keegan is the right man to restore the Blues to their trophy-winning days of three decades ago.
Crucially, the fans are backing the manager as well. Shows of dissent at Eastlands this year have been rare and even at half-time at White Hart Lane, they were still voiciferous in their backing of Keegan and his team.
"The biggest thing for me at this football club is the support of the fans," said Keegan. "If they turn against me that will be the end.
"If we had turned in a second-half performance on Wednesday like we had done in the first it would have been very difficult for them to stick by me.
"The vultures are circling and they not going to disappear but as far as I am aware, the supporters are still behind me and so are the board.
"I don't know if the chairman has said I have three games to pull it round but if he eventually taps me on the shoulder, I shall shake his hand, walk away and we will remain friends for life."
Of all the reflections on City's amazing recovery from a three-goal half-time deficit at White Hart Lane, the one which has amused Keegan the most is Sky's Fanzone slot where a supporter of each side commentates on selected games.
"At half-time the City guy wanted to go to the pub because he couldn't bear anymore," observed Keegan.
"By the end he was kissing the camera and the Tottenham supporter was slumped in the background.
"I have lost count of the number of people who said they switched off at half-time. I can understand exactly where they were coming from."
While he must try to bring his players back down to earth as City look to address their abysmal league form, Keegan has admitted Wednesday's events have forced him to alter his approach to the idiosyncratic nature of the club he is in charge of.
After a chat with long-time friend and lifelong City fan Eddie Large, no longer will Keegan rail against the charge of inconsistency that has been levelled at the Blues for a three decades.
"I am just going with the flow now," he said.
"Throughout my time at the club whenever something has gone wrong Eddie has said 'that's Man City'.
"I don't like it, it doesn't have to be like that but after the game on Wednesday I phoned him up and said 'that's Man City'.
"The only way we can change it is by performances and results but I am not going to fight against it anymore."
Keegan insists he wants to stay around to complete the job he was brought in to do two-and-a-half seasons ago.
"When I was given the job they were in the Nationwide League and I was told I had five years to get them into the top five of the Premiership.
"No-one can say I have failed because it is still achievable.
"The difference between then and now is that the expectations have increased.
"I love this club and I will battle and scrap on. But for me to fulfil what I want to do we have to be successful.
"The only thing that is going to keep me here is results but you could say that of any manager."

Watch as Linn's Stamp News associate editor Michael Baadke reports on the recent Ameristamp Expo stamp show and exhibition in Reno, Nev., including news of the winner of the 2017 single-frame Champion of Champions award.
Full Video Transcript:
Welcome to the Monday Morning Brief for March 13, 2017.
The American Philatelic Society held its annual Winter stamp show and convention over the first weekend in March. The show, known as Ameristamp Expo, takes place in a different city each year, and this year it was held in Reno, Nevada.
Along with a bourse of stamp dealers offering stamps, covers, collections and supplies for sale, the show included dozens of great exhibits showing all sorts of specialized collections.

Ameristamp Expo also features the annual single-frame Champion of Champions competition, which chooses the top exhibit out of all of the single-frame champions that have been chosen at national shows over the past year.
This year's top winner was Michael T. Mahler, who took the prize with his revenue stamp exhibit titled "Big Rug, Small Rug, Baby Rug: U.S. Civil War Era $200 and $500 Revenues, Their Purpose Illustrated."
His exhibit, which won the single-frame grand award last year at the Southern California Sescal show, includes the only known example of the $500 revenue stamp affixed to a document.
Ameristamp Expo also included a first-day ceremony on March 3, welcoming the new Barn Swallow forever stamped envelopes that are now available from the U.S. Postal Service.
The envelope design is the third in recent years to feature an imprinted stamp with a bird portrait by artist Matthew Frey.
The American Philatelic Society teamed up with the National Association of Letter Carriers and Family Circus comic strip artist Jeff Keane to kick off the annual Stamp Out Hunger event, which included sales of a Stamps.com Photostamps souvenir sheet featuring the kids from Family Circus. Proceeds from the sales of the stamp, and a $1,000 donation from the APS benefited the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. Jeff Keane remained at the show to autograph stamps and other memorabilia for collectors and fans.
Collectors can still buy the Family Circus photostamps sheet by visiting the APS website at Stamps.org. and looking under the link for Specialty Shops and event souvenirs.
Next up for the APS is the annual APS Stampshow, scheduled for August 3-6 in Richmond, Virginia. You can also find out about local stamp shows that are taking place near you by checking the Events Calendar listing published each week in Linn's Stamp News.

We've moved to the central coast, NSW
After more than three decades working from our iconic Windsor location we've now moved and are in the early stages of building a new hatchery on the central coast of NSW.
We are very excited about our new location, it provides us with the space and the natural resources to build the efficient, sustainable hatchery we've always aspired to. Though it is a lot of hard work it is truly fantastic to watch it come together.
What Windsor fish hatchery sells now.
Windsor fish hatchery will be producing koi from the new hatchery in October 2017 and selling babies from late January 2018. larger koi bred last year will be online from late September 2017 from 15cm, as the months go by this summer there will be a bigger variety of koi than ever before.
We are now selling online; live Goldfish, koi & goldfish bulk food, Speciality fish foods such as JPD koi food, Hikari Koi & goldfish foods, turtle food wafers, Goldfish Algae wafers & sinkers and native fish food, pond water treatments, pond UV units and replacement globes, pond cover nets, Kit koi & goldfish ponds, Moulded koi & goldfish ponds, pond & aquarium test kits, pond & aquarium water blocks, Aquarium water treatments.
In late 2018 we hope to have the hatchery ready for the public to visit, these open farm days will be advertised on our face book page and the website, we will also send out a newsletter to all our online subscribers, letting you know dates.
We will be selling water lilies, lotus & some garden plants when we are open to the public .
Windsor Fish Hatchery is now 100% online
Due to our new location being under construction, it is not safe for customer visits at this stage. For this reason Windsor Fish Hatchery store will be 100% online until at least 2018.
Not everything has changed!
Windsor Fish Hatchery have always been there for our customers with advice and a shared passion for fish keeping, this has not changed. The hatchery is still run by Tom and Izzy and you can still email us on firstname.lastname@example.com to get advice on keeping your fish happy and healthy.
The new hatchery construction photo gallery
Our gallery is not in date order, we had to stop and start a lot of things to wait for council.
Still plenty to do, a lot had been achieved so far
There was another shed behind this one with a rusty metal frame & concrete slab that needed to come down also.
We have built the goldfish house onto the left side of the old shed that needs painting, and painted the roof and the side. The Goldfish house will wrap around the shed June 2016
These ponds are 40cm deep & are completely outside exposed to the weather. In them are some of my best fancy goldfish. All are covered with nets, have filters and live plants for the benefit of the water quality & fish. 40% water changes are done on very hot days to add more oxygen to the water and stabilize the pH
Work is continuing in 2018 on all aspects of the hatchery, priority is to complete the goldfish house, which should be done by the end of May 2018. This is were all the goldfish we breed and buy are kept till a customer like you buys them. 10% Water changes are done fortnightly, they are fed daily on a variety of foods.
something different, This fox was sitting on top of the burn pile early this morning, Sunday 22 july 2018, catching the first rays of sunlight at the new hatchery on the central coast
Tom and I think he is really beautiful, he just saw me and is getting up to move off.
You can see why we named the farm misty pines farm, the mist rolls in at different times of the day from morning through to the afternoon.
Ponds are lined. Sandy soil wont hold water.
Just like Windsor location was we keep the Male & female Koi separate all year, Tom selectively chooses koi to breed, depending on what colours, & type of koi he is trying to achieve.
ponds for the breeders are not in the hatchery, they are in the gardens 2016
A little further along on the breeders ponds & gardens
It may look like there is a large team of people working on the new hatchery, but there is only Three. Me, Tom and our farm hand we hired in June 2017
Hatchery filter & plant nursery will hold a large range of water plants such as lotus, lilies etc. It will take all the the excess nutrients out of the water in the grow ponds, to enable the hatchery koi to have the best water possible.

Defining the International and Area Studies Librarian in an Era of Re-Organization
January 26th, 2015 | Published in Uncategorized
Defining the International and Area Studies Librarian in an Era of Re-Organization
Steve Witt, University of Illinois
Like every sub-field in librarianship, area studies has undergone a steady evolution in response to changes in professional practice, political and economic change, new technologies, and shifts within broader research agendas. On the political spectrum area studies has moved from largess in funding in the combined post-war, post-Sputnik, post-cold war eras to current decreases in funding in what might be called the insipient-global-culture-economic-health-environment-security-era. On the technical end, we've moved from challenges in managing the physical output of the world's publishing to aims to also support access to digital cultural output that ranges from research data to utterances. Through these changes, many institutions have opted to further consolidate the notion of area studies librarianship by developing units or administrative structures that attempt to manage international and area studies collectively while hoping to channel the strengths of area studies into support of new interdisciplinary and transnational imperatives within the academy.
From the outside, area studies librarianship has often been seen as an activity focused primarily on building specialized collections that require extensive linguistic and regional expertise to support selection and curation. This often equates to a rather opaque view of the field that emphasizes perennial problems related to sustaining the funding and staffing needed to build collections.
From within area studies librarianship, the view of the field is much more nuanced and reflects the priorities and cultures that inform the regional milieu. A Japanese studies librarian and a Middle East studies librarian by necessity do their work and must spend their time differently because of the varying infrastructure available to support collection building, availability of linguistic support, copyright laws, publishing traditions, research and teaching foci etc., etc. etc…. This variability replicates itself across regions and across institutions that support area studies collections and services.
A relatively homogenized view from the outside (the people who handle funny shaped writing systems) countered by a highly nuanced view from within, creates unique challenges in communicating realistically the role and value of international and area studies libraries and librarians in a system of academic libraries that is responding to and undergoing many changes that range from new networked models for work, budgetary stress, organizational restructuring, and shifting institutional goals for the role of libraries within the research and scholarly community.
At Illinois, the international and area studies librarians have begun to grapple with these questions in response to becoming an area studies unit and in an attempt to create a common rubric to guide our work and help us achieve our interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary ambitions. This work builds on the establishment of the International and Area Studies Library (IASL) (http://www.library.illinois.edu/ias) in 2012 and from a similar initiative taken by colleagues to define the role of Subject Specialists (http://www.library.illinois.edu/committee/exec/policies/SubjectSpecialistTaskForceReport.htm) within the library. As this process unfolds, we are looking at our history, models provided by other institutions, and opportunities to assert the enduring value of area studies knowledge and expertise within the university as it evolves amidst local and global change.
Overall, we are trying to answer two main questions:
- Are Area Studies Librarians any different from "Subject Specialists"?
- If Area Studies Librarians exist beyond a generic notion of language and area specialty, what binds us together as a subfield of librarianship?
Without fully answering these questions, librarians in the IASL have worked to define their work within a broad rubric that emphasizes collaborative engagement with colleagues, students, and scholars. Through this notion of engagement, the IASL attempts to support interdisciplinary research that informs and draws upon both area knowledge and transnational connections. To this aim, the IASL faculty teaches and promotes knowledge related to the societies, cultures, and intellectual output of the countries and regions supported by its expert services and research collections. A core service initiative of the IASL is to expand teaching opportunities beyond the traditional classroom setting by drawing upon the expertise of the librarians to make international and area studies resources accessible, engaging, and relevant to the campus' research, teaching, and engagement efforts. These activities also support key campus research and teaching missions to promote cultural and international understanding while engaging in dialogue focused on tolerance and diversity within a pluralistic society. The new Chai Wai lecture series is one example of this (https://publish.illinois.edu/iaslibrary/2014/10/22/chai-wai-series-migrants-immigrants-refugees/).
In addition to the broad domains of activity and competence that all UIUC's subject librarians build into their positions descriptions (such as scholarly communication, publishing and teaching and learning), a few highlight the special efforts needed by area studies librarians, including
ENGAGEMENT – Serve as a liaison to and active member of the area studies faculty on campus to collaborate in research and teaching activities that focuses on area studies and allied interdisciplinary fields.
COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT – Develop and manage unique and distinctive collections that support both local — institutional needs, while also contributing to the "national" area studies collection that serves scholars and researchers in institutions throughout the US and world.
FIELDWORK – Conduct regular fieldwork within the regions of expertise to facilitate collection building, developing scholarly networks, and maintaining expertise in the publishing, research, and cultural trends within the region.
TECHNICAL SERVICES – Stay abreast of trends in authority control, transliteration, and cataloging standards that impact access and discovery of foreign language and non-Roman materials. Collaborate with staff in library technical services departments to ensure access to scholarly resources and communicate changes in publishing, access, and distribution that impacts acquisitions and cataloging activities.
OUTREACH TO CONSTITUENCIES BEYOND UIUC – Participate in programs that reach out to groups beyond UIUC to fulfill special program requirements (e.g. Title VI) as part of the library's collaboration with regional centers as well as with local community groups.
This broad definition of area studies librarianship at Illinois is still under construction and under active debate among the IASL librarians. As we work to further articulate this aspirational description of our work in international and area studies, we anticipate many questions.
Looking at our work collectively, however, exposes several binding features. For example, international and area studies librarians consciously contribute to what amounts to a collective area studies collection that enables both broad access to materials and expertise in a manner that does not exist in other disciplines and subject areas. Whether formal or in-formal, we have created an intricate system of cooperative collection building. Also, our engagement with colleagues, faculty, and students as members of both a library faculty and the field we serve distinguishes our ability to work collaboratively across institutions and regions to promote international and area studies as an epistemology to be used in approaching multiple domains of knowledge. This theoretical underpinning of our work rests in a belief that our services, collections, and research activities contribute to our professional work as librarians, our scholarly discipline, and the academic community as a whole. Is this enough to create the conditions for a collective approach to access and services and enable the development of service models that operate at the scale of our cooperative collecting ambitions?
As discussions on the "definition" of the international and area studies librarian continues at Illinois, we look forward to continued debate and contributions to the conversation from other institutions. Coming to a shared understanding of our work and its contributions to society will only enable further collaboration and new forms of services that can take better advantage of the unique and distributed nature of our expertise and collections.

Helping a buck out.
So this morning I was on my little run and when as I run past the canal by my house this 2x3 buck was in the canal and stuck up against the catch bars. I called Cory to bring a rope and help me out. He brought his boy Tyler. We were able to get the rope around its antlers, got it to where I could get a hold of it and then proceeded to pull it out. Luckily when he decides he has had enough he didn't go back into the grates. Unfortunately the video is not the best. I think Tyler was more into seeing what was going on and didn't get it all on video but at least he got a bit of it.
Hopefully this will turn into some good Karma this fall and we will all be able to fill our freezers with monster bucks.

Hyderabad, Nov. 22: The BJP-Telugu Desam Party duet in Andhra Pradesh played out of tune today with chief minister Chandrababu Naidus ally terming extremism a key plank of the Desam a non-issue.
State BJP president . Indrasena Reddy said the definition of referendum has lost its significance with the Desam seeking the peoples mandate (referendum) on the issue of extremism.
The BJP manifesto will sideline the issues of extremism and a separate Telengana state, he added.
We will focus more on issues concerning the people, Reddy said, adding that what was needed were programmes that provided for employment and facilitated peaceful coexistence. The state BJP today appointed party spokesperson Prof. S.V. Sheshagiri Rao as convener of its manifesto committee.
The BJP has lost many workers to violence perpetrated by the Peoples War Group, but still does did not consider extremism an issue for seeking the peoples mandate, Reddy said.
Providing equal opportunity for all is a constitutional mandate. But one need not seek a mandate against a social malaise, Reddy said.
Naidu, who escaped a Naxalite bid on his life on October 1, continued his tirade against extremists and forecast stringent measures against the PWG during his one-hour address to partymen telecast by a Telugu channel.
He aimed his diatribe at the Congress, too, directly charging the party with colluding with the rebels to eliminate Desam workers. Naidu said Congressmen across the state were hiring/assisting the extremists to kill active Desam party workers and elected representatives.
Of the 330 politicians killed by the PWG, 141 belonged to the Desam, 80 to the Congress, 36 to the BJP, 30 to the Left parties and 37 to other outfits. In 140 landmine blasts the extremists had killed 227 policemen and 75 civilians, he added.
State Congress chief Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy had recently accused that the Desams policies had emboldened the Naxalites to target civilians and policemen.
Hinting at a crackdown on the PWG, Naidu said the Desam has drawn up a programme to systematically target the armed dalams at all levels.
Right now, the government is taking only defensive measures and keeping the offensive measures on hold till its gets another mandate.
Naidu claimed that the governments firm resolve had yielded results.
TDP has won 17 of the 21 mandal praja territorial council seats held after the dissolution of the Assembly, he said. The seats were in the Naxalite-dominated areas of Warangal, Khammam and Medak districts.
But Naidus campaign against the extremists still has miles to go Desam elected representatives from three Assembly segments Kalwakurthi, Acchampeta and Jedcherla in Mahboobnagar district made a fervent appeal to Naidu to protect their and their supporters lives from the Naxalites.
Nearly 80 party leaders from the district called on Naidu yesterday evening and appraised him of the threat calls and attempts on the lives of several of their family members over the last few months.
I have also suffered the extremist attack. Wait for a few more days till we get more forces from the Centre. I will ensure protection for everyone, Naidu told them.
It remains to be seen how he assures a wider constituency.

Google is losing our trust
Thoughtful piece by Mat Honan at Gizmodo about how Google is slowly eroding our trust in them:
Google is far bigger now, and far less susceptible to the whims of the public. But I hope that, to some extent, it is still listening. Because the case against Google is for the first time starting to outweigh the case for it.
Am I doing it wrong?
Comments? I don't do open comments. Life is too short.

Gahlia Njongoh Gwangwa'a
Hear Him - Poem by Gahlia Njongoh Gwangwa'a
Hear him as he plans
Out of the rubber, palms
And bananas stands
One of us, so tall but with faded
Glow that once adorned his face
A technician who worked hard
Using his intellect and hands
Now joins the rest on the scary
Band-wagon of the soothsayers
The populace tortured, say prayers
So those, who their mouth shamelessly
Run, drown with the sinking ship
His stance a kind of pride
And respect he might deserve outside
He will soon feel, down inside
When he discovers that his sense of duty
Has no purpose, no purity nor longevity
He too will sing the song of nudity
The refrain that continuously adds
To the requiem of the ugly and the bad governance.

Video game retailers could be prosecuted if they sell to underage children
The Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) ratings system that you see on video games is now legally enforceable throughout the UK, which means that, if you're a retailer, you could be prosecuted if you sell age restricted games to children.
The British Board of Film Classification dropped a parallel ratings system that had been in place, and now, this new rating method will see games featuring small diagrams to indicate sex, drugs, violence, swearing and whatnot.
This is obviously great news for adults. If a game has all the diagrams on it, then we'll know it's a must-buy.
Naturally, the Pegi system is to help families "make informed decisions". The decision to take this on was brought about after The Byron Review by Profesor Tanya Byron. The report said "having a dual classification system and two sets of symbols often made things confusing for the consumer", and said switching to a single system was important to child safety.
So what do you need to know? Well, 'non-graphic violence to people and animals' will see a 12 rating while the 18 certificate will be doled out to games 'likely to produce revulsion because of a gross level of violence.' Or, they should have a massive sticker on that simply says "ACE!"

- qwertyuiopSeriously, what's the point? Minors don't get their hands on the likes of CoD because of retailers directly, they get the games because their irresponsible parents buy them and then they go bitch to a newspaper when their 10 year old shoots someone in the head because of a scene they saw in said game. FYI parents, if your little darlings persuade you to buy video games that are too young for them, ask yourselves this question: Should you be having children?
- LanceVanceTotally agree with Qwertyuiop.Lots of the kids round here have to get their grandparents to buy games for them. Mainly because their parents are to young to buy the game for them!! Just like i have said before kids bringing up kids is going to end in tears. Lots of them if i have my way!
- FranI can completely understand buying a game for someone a year underneath the limit, the same way that we all used to try fool the cinema to get into a 15 when we were 13. That's not the real issue. The problem is, people who buy their young children violent games or films just because it heralds a superheroes name. PARENTS LEARN TO CHECK THE CONTENT IS SUITABLE.
- FranAlso, even when they don't herald a name. Just because your kiddy asks for it, doesn't mean its suitable. If they asked for a vodka with their coke you wouldn't give them it just because they wanted it.
- FJParents buy the games anyway because "it's only a game" and "he plays it at his mate's house/everyone else has it". Unless parents, as the best judges of their kids maturity, are going to play through the game themselves to determine of the content is suitable, they should trust the ratings. Not so many are brave enough to risk making themselves/their kids unpopular by saying no, though.
- Mr M.They are only games, they have fuck all effect on kids unless you read/believe the Daily Mail...
- zeddyIs that Jet-Pac?
- ChewbaccaLook, if a kid goes and takes out 22 schoolkids, it's not because he played a nasty game. Jesus, people are fucking morons.
- qwertyuiopTell that to all the idiot parents who deem it appropriate to try and sue because the kids have been corrupted by the game that THEY bought for them.
- qwertyuiopInfact, that brings me back to a recent story I'd read about some 12 year old asian kid having wracked up about a grand's worth of M$ points on his dad's credit card. The kid assumed what he was buying was actually making his BLACK OPS online character more powerful. The parent, being the stupid douchebag that he was tried to complain to M$ that their policies weren't clear enough, conveniently relinquishing all blame himself for allowing his son to use the card in the first place on a game he was too fucking young for. Honestly, newspapers will run any old shit these days.
- FranYeah it's not all down to the games / tv / films but if you let tv and video games parent your kids don't be surprised if they have terrible morals / perception of what's right and wrong.
- Mr C.Does that make angry birds a 12 rated game? Joking aside, my son is ten and we don't allow him to play anything over 12. Not because we fear him doing something stupid or dangerous, but so that he doesn't have nighmares. Some of the games i've played such as Resident Evil have made me jump back.
- Numpty D.I thought Angry Birds was the queue outside Waterstones when 50 shades had sold out.
- MilkyMy daughter (currently 8 years old) knows via talking through anything scarey, be it in a book, dvd or news reportage which lessens any nightmares considerably. She's actually more afraid of "the police" than zombies ..as a big fan of the walking dead (which I watch 1st to check suitability, & then prime her for a nasty scene if I feel it's warranted. So far she's had a few "ugh" moments but only on par with Dr Who episode s ..the main thing is to get your child to distinguish between play, reality, acting, software animation etc. I point out that all actors wash the make-up ketchup blood etc off & each night go back tired to their own families, in context this stuff isn't horrific, it just needs a modicum of common sense & parents to give a toss about time spent with their children, "teaching" them sensibilities & values. Can't do anything about her being scared of corrupt self serving coppers though! ..& damned if I'm going to dupe her into thinking their all "nice" upstanding folk ...she see's the news.
- Numpty D.A rational post on BW? This place is going downhill
- Me@ Numpty Dumpty Let me fix that for you... CUNTS!!!!!

More Poker and Podcast Still Coming
Joe wants our episode one to be epic and he wasn't happy with the 1st one. The coding is all done and it will be out shortly. Thanks to the fans who waited!
Well, poker went pretty well today. I ran really bad vs. a few fish but it was all a matter of time. After doubling up a short stacker with the middle of me "well he shoves every hand I should call thisâ€, he bet/called AI with a 9hi FD vs. My AQ on an A43T. I rivered a queen but not the right one.
Somehow this guy stuck around! WTF?! Anyway I ended up check calling all in with 84s on a 356K2. He had K9 for the "bet you wouldn't have guess I had THAT†hand. Seriously. He folded to a ton of 3-bets and seeing as how he peeled a flop with K9s I like a 2nd barrel. Then given he bets K9 there I'd say I played every street perfectly. Unfortunately I would have shipped had I not hit and it would have blown up in my face. That being said I think I had 12 outs a ton (8 for the straight and 4 for the Ace as a bluff).
I even got to 2 table HULHE! And wow was it great. I ran SO BAD but it didn't matter, it's LHE! Like 5 hands of top pair and you win it back. 1 Villain would donk any piece and c/c the flop with everything else. He ran up like 30 bets on me in some sick sick coolers but seriously, what a soft spot! Like 15 minutes later he was bust.
One odd hand vs. him – I raise A4o he calls. Flop is A42, I call planning on raising the turn. The turn is a ten and he c/r's? I 3-bet and he capped. I then raised his river donk. He showed me 35 and I dunno about my play. On 1 level – he 3-bet a ton (I left that out earlier). So i didn't give him credit for a good ace or a pocket pair. I think that's far, that if he has 2 pair I have him destroyed. The question is – do you think people donk out the nuts? Because I don't. It's such a rare spot in LHE but still worth considering.
Villain #2 was the least remarkable man on the face of the earth.
Thanksgiving is coming so have a happy one and don't eat too much, the games will be good!

Out of 9,000 nominees in 2012, Portugal and some of its regions won 3 outstanding awards:
This type of awards is particularly valuable because it is the result of a public voting process including qualified executives working in tourism and the consumer travel buyer. This means that winners represent the best of the best according not only to its peers but also the world traveler.
This is not the first time Portugal received World Travel Awards and nominations, and it has already been nominated for 2013 again. Here's the full list:
Portugal's quickly establishing itself as a top travel destination in the world. This time around it was voted by Condé Nast Traveler and its readers as the best country to visit in 2013. Voters favored the country known as "Europe's West Coast" over other strong competitors like: Argentina, Spain, USA, Italy and Thailand. This award recognizes the quality of Portuguese tourism offered on 15 categories including hotels, resorts, spas, towns and cities, transport as well as products such as tourist souvenirs and fashionable accessories.
A small country with tremendous diversity and kind people seem to have been the winning factors. The magazine talks about Portugal's "special visual charm" and its century-old traditions, cities that combine history and modern architecture and events, and a breathtaking countryside living shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the best beaches in the world. Add to that Portuguese people "who are seductive in their charm and kindness" and you get a destination that sits at the top of the countries to visit in the world.
Lisbon was elected 2nd Best European Destination in 2013 (after winning 1st place in 2010), and Porto was elected Best European Destination in 2012. In the last 4 events, two Portuguese cities won the top award twice!
Every year, 20 cities compete for the highly prestigious title of Best European Destination, an award created by European Consumers Choice. The award is decided by a public voting process using social networks data. The public voted, and Lisbon and Porto have been consistently among the best in Europe.
After 3 years running in the top 3, in 2013 Lisbon was ranked 2nd Best European Destination (just merely 0.2% votes behind the wining city). One of the most striking descriptions published during the voting process reads: "Lisbon city with magic light, bathed in the river and kissed by the Atlantic Ocean... The millennial history, the castle of Sao Jorge with breathtaking views over Lisbon, monuments, gardens and palaces... The gastronomy healthy and rich in flavor... The unique wine produced in our country of mild temperatures throughout the year... The white sand beaches and the hospitality of the people, solidarity and always ready to help the next... The nights filled with excitement... The culture, exhibitions and theater... A city unforgettable, historic and sophisticated..."
In 2012 it had been Porto's time to take the Best European Destination award. Referred to as the "Cidade Invicta" (unvanquished city), Porto is full of history, old and modern architecture, and mouth-watering gastronomy. According to the organization, "with all the charms of cities with a riverfront, and people that know how to make you feel at home, this city can conquer your heart and leave a long lasting impression".
Porto is the first city in Lonely Planet's list of top 10 European cities for 2013. Lonely Planet teamed up with traveling authors and local experts to select the 10 most amazing European destinations in 2013.
For those thinking that this was a "sleepy" riverside city only known for its worldwide famous Port wine, Porto is today one of the world's top destinations. With a bohemian art scene, exhibitions and street-side concerts, Porto is described by Lonely Planet as "a city that has emerged as a vibrant arts capital that's rightfully getting a lot of buzz as a great value destination". Populated by big museums, cutting edge-exhibitions, world-level architecture and musical events, Porto is second-to-none in Europe.
Porto is also a great entry point to the Douro Valley, world-renowned for its Port Wine, and declared as World Heritage by the UNESCO. According to the UNESCO, the Alto Douro region has been producing wine for nearly 2,000 years and its landscape is an "outstanding example of a traditional European wine-producing region, reflecting the evolution of this human activity over time".
With some of the best gastronomy and wine in the world, traveling in the Porto and Douro Valley region is a sense-awakening trip. According to Lonely Planet this is one of those places "travelers should be heading to right now"!
The World Economic Forum said it: out of 140 countries in the world, Portugal ranked 7th in "Attitude of population toward foreign visitors". Portugal scored 6.6 out of 7. This top rank as one of the friendliest countries to visit, is a testimony to the hospitality of the Portuguese people. The centuries-long history of discoveries, global trade and cultural exchange, seem to have shaped the DNA of the Portuguese. They are warm, welcoming and always ready to help visitors.
This study also ranked Portugal as one of the best in the world regarding infrastructure: road quality (4th in the world); availability of ATMs (also 4th in the world); and sanitation (1st in the world with 100% of the population covered). Top all of that with a 4th best in the world on environmental regulation, and you get a country where you're going to feel welcome, drive around and pay your checks comfortably!
Lisbon is home to some of the best hotels in the world. Two of them, The Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon and the Olissippo Lapa Palace, appeared in the list of best hotels in the world 5 years in a row. This feat got them in Condé Nast Traveler's Platinum list in 2013.
Portugal's lodging excellence is not limited to large hotels. Also in Lisbon, the Bairro Alto Hotel was considered in 2012 the Best Small Hotel in Europe by the International Hotel Awards, and the Leading Boutique Hotel by the World Travel Awards.
These are just a few examples of the outstanding lodging options available throughout Portugal. This country's geo and cultural diversity is celebrated every year with appearances in Condé Nast's Hot List of World's Best New Hotels. In 2013 this list included 5 Portuguese hotels: Pousada de Cascais (Lisbon); Fazenda Nova (Algarve); Villa Extramuros (Alentejo); Carmo's Boutique Hotel (Ponte de Lima); Lisboa Carmo Hotel (Lisbon); Cooking and Nature Emotional Hotel (Alvados). These add to the other 4 listed in 2012: Hotel Bela Vista (Portimão); Imani Country House (Quinta de Montemuro); InterContinental Porto-Palacio Das Cardosas (Porto); L'And Vineyards Resort (Alentejo).
Believe it or, this is that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Portugal may indeed be one of the best hidden gems of world tourism. A small country, Portugal exudes beauty and diversity jam-packed between the border with Spain and a stunning coast line. From top luxury hotels, to the best hostels in the world, including world-level B&Bs, this country's lodging will amaze any tourist, specially the most travelled one.
2012 was yet another great year for Madeira and we're not just talking about its Madeira wine. The Portuguese island known for its tourism, wine and more recently as the birthplace of one of the best soccer players in the world (Cristiano Ronaldo) was elected by Condé Nast Traveler as the 2nd Best Island in Europe to visit.
As part of their annual Readers' Choice Awards, Condé Nast Traveler and its readers have distinguished Madeira as a can't-miss destination calmly waiting for you in the Atlantic Ocean. Second only to a Turkish island, Madeira scored a boosting 97/100 on Scenery, and received scores above 90 on other areas like Friendliness or Ambience. Add a few extra high scores on Lodging and Restaurants and you end up with an assurance of luxury stays and mouth-watering experiences.
Portugal is small… very small indeed. Its landmass represents about 0.05% of the world's total… but the value of its architecture and historical towns has been recognized by the UNESCO with 2% of all the World's Cultural Heritage locations. In fact, Portugal is in the top 15 of countries with properties recognized by the UNESCO.
Including anything from pre-historic rock art sites, to centennial monasteries and historical villages, this list is a testimony to the diversity and value of the country's heritage:
On top of these tangible assets, the UNESCO has also recognized "Fado" as an "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity". Fado is a performance genre incorporating music and poetry widely practiced by various communities in Portugal. Fado is Portugal's most traditional and unique music genre. As UNESCO describes it: "Fado is a performance genre incorporating music and poetry widely practiced by various communities in Lisbon. It represents a Portuguese multicultural synthesis of Afro-Brazilian sung dances, local traditional genres of song and dance, musical traditions from rural areas of the country brought by successive waves of internal immigration, and the cosmopolitan urban song patterns of the early nineteenth century. (…) The dissemination of Fado through emigration and the world music circuit has reinforced its image as a symbol of Portuguese identity, leading to a process of cross-cultural exchange involving other musical traditions."
Visit Portugal and bring your check list to make sure you don't miss these attractions. Tangible or not…
According to HostelWorld, the 4 Best Hostels in the world are in Lisbon. This award, also known as the Hoscars for Hostels, was awarded 9 times to Portugal in 2013. These awards recognize hostels for their excellence in security, cleanliness, equipment, personnel, ambiance and location.
Lisbon hostels took the first 4 places: Yes! Lisbon Hostel, Home Hostel, Travelers House, and Living Lounge Hostel. All-and-all Portugal received 9 awards including: 8th place by the Lisbon Central Hostel in the "small hostels" category; 1st place by the Yes! Lisbon Hostel in the "large hostels" category; and 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in the "medium hostels" category by the Home Hostel, Travelers House and Living Lounge Hostel, respectively. In 2012 several Porto hostels had also populated the top hostels list: Dixon's Hostel, Porto Spot Hostel; and Rivoli Cinema Hostel.
With over 100 hostels spread-out through the country, and multiple awards for the top hostels in the world since 2008, Portugal has established itself as one of the best destinations in the world for hostel travelers.
When you travel around the country, you'll find it easy to understand why the conditions for golf are perfect in Portugal. The country is green by nature and that's reflected in the quality of its greens. This excellence has been recognized over the years with different awards, but 2012 was outstanding for Portuguese golf resorts.
The year started with an early award from the Today's Golfer. After a broad public voting process, Portugal received the "Today's Golfer Travel Award" for the Best Value for Money Golf Destination.
Later in the year, Portugal was elected by the World Travel Awards as Europe's Leading Golf Destination. The WTA, recognized as the Oscars of the Travel industry, awarded Portugal based on the quality of the greens, the services offered, number, diversity, and outstanding quality of its golf resorts.
If this award placed Portuguese golf resorts on top of Europe, a second award placed them on top of the world, literally. Just one month after the first award, Portugal was elected as the "World's Short Haul Destination of the Year for Golf Holidays" during the 2012 World Travel Market.
These awards were the perfect intro to a golf summer which started with the Algarve hosting one of the world's largest golf events, the Golf Travel Market (IGTM). The Algarve was indeed a perfect location for the event as it was several times voted the World's Best Golfing Destination by IAGTO (International Association of Golf Tour Operators).
So, if eagles and birdies are more than flying species for you, you should get on a plane and check for yourself the quality of the Portuguese greens!
Lagos and Tavira got recognized in 2013 by the quality of their hotels including their services and nearby attractions. According to Trivago these two Algarve beaches ranked among the 10 best beaches in Southern Europe. According to one of the largest hotel search engines in the world, the hotels in these cities have racked up over 80 pts out of 100, which makes them some of the most desirable beach destinations in Europe (Lagos, 6th; Tavira, 10th).
Judging by the awards in the last years, the summers in Algarve are pretty hot, and we're not just talking about the temperatures. In 2012, The World Travel Awards distinguished the Algarve as Europe's Leading Beach Destination. Aside from its natural beauty and world-level attractions, this award is also partially supported by the individual awards received by Algarve's resorts: Vila Joya (Best European Boutique Hotel); Conrad Algarve (Best New Luxury Resort in Europe); Dunas Douradas Beach Club (Best Residential Resort); Martinhal Beach Resort & Hotel (Best European Villas Resort); Ria Park Hotel & Spa (Best European Hotel for Conferences); Sheraton Algarve Hotel e Pine Cliffs Resort (Best European Family Resort); Le Meridien Penina (Best Golf Resort in Europe); Hilton Vilamoura (Best European Beach Hotel); and Blu & Green Vilalara Thalassa Resort (Best European Spa Resort). If you think this is small feat, then take a look at some of the nominees that the Algarve beat: Cannes, Corfu, Marbella, Mykonos, just to name a few…
If the WTA recognized the excellence of the resorts, Tripadvisor with input from its users recognized Algarve's natural beauty by listing Praia da Rocha (Portimão) as the 5th most "Breathtaking Beach" in the World. Like one of the users put it: "the beach alone is worth a trip to Portugal". Apparently this is not the only one, because American publisher Travel and Leisure elected Salema Beach (Vila do Bispo) as one of the 25 Best Secret Beaches on Earth!… as they describe it: "Salema is a small fishing village known for its gentle Atlantic shore break on a wide beach between two steep cliffs. While much of Portugal's scenic Algarve Coast has been engulfed by new high-rises and resorts, Salema remains admirably authentic, with one main street, white stucco houses, an outdoor market providing staples for picnics, and just a dozen places to eat and drink."
The buzz around Portugal and its hidden gems continues to spread. Portugal won the 5th edition of the Globe Spots Award. Focused on destinations that have strong potential to become top world destinations, the organization gives the awards based on a combination of travel experience and as they put it "rumors and speculations from the travel community". It seems like Portugal is now getting talked about in the travel scene and quickly establishing itself as the next hot destination.
The award comes with a description that may well getting you racing to book your trip to Portugal:
Portugal was considered the 6th most beautiful country in the world by the U City Guides a travel organization producing "guides that are the one-stop source for the savvy urban traveler". The organization attributes this award to features like the pristine natural wonders of the Azores, the "floating garden" of Madeira, the dramatic coastline and mystical capes of the mainland, the serene plains of the Alentejo with the stunningly-sited white medieval vilages of Marvão and Monsaraz, the Peneda-Gerês National Park, and the perfect collaboration of man and nature in the magic fantasy of Sintra and verdant Douro Valley. The scale of the country, and its diverse regions, caught the eye of the assessors: "Everything is in a small scale but when all combined it's impressive how so much diverse beauty somehow fits in such a tiny country that seems to be a favorite of the sun".
Beauty seems to be common to plenty regions and cities in Portugal. Lisbon is the best example: won the award of 4th most beautiful city in the world. As the organization describes it: "Magnificently sited on a series of hills running down to the grand Tagus River, Lisbon is one of the world's most scenic cities. Beautiful unexpected views are found at every turn down its colorful, picturesque streets, and especially from strategically-placed viewpoints or terraces at the top of each hill. The city has an unpolished, seductive appearance; an effortless beauty with captivating details such as cobbled designs, tiled façades, and pastel-colored buildings blending together to give it a singular atmosphere now lost in so many other cities. In such a stunning place, it's no wonder that many of the world's great explorers questioned what other beauties lied beyond the horizon when they departed from here in the 15th century." With so much beauty all around, and close proximity to Sintra and Óbidos, it is easy to understand why Lisbon was also considered the 6th most romantic city in the world.
In the North, Porto is the location for Majestic, a café that took the award of the 6th most beautiful Café in the world. With competition from all over the world, including Lisbon's historical landmarks A Brasileira and Versailles Pastry Shop, the Majestic Café took the award based on its outstanding beauty from its façade to its interior décor. This café "continues to live up to its name with a wonderful Belle Époque atmosphere in its main room and attractive winter garden which have guaranteed it a spot in every café-themed coffee table book."
If you looked up "Portugal" in the dictionary you could well get "outstanding gastronomy", "world-class wines"; and "mouthwatering sweets" as synonyms. With a gastronomy that's as diverse as the country's morphology, it's impossible to visit the country without falling in love for its fresh fish, charcuterie, cheeses and wide assortment of pastries and sweets… and of course its world renowned wines.
In fact, wines are indeed the crown jewel of the country. All you got to do is look over results from some of the most recent international wine competitions and you'll see dozens of medals and awards being swept by Portuguese wines: in the 2013 International Wine Challenge a Portuguese wine was among the 5 best in the world (Dona Georgina 2005); in 2012 the best sommelier in the world Luca Gardini elected a Portuguese wine as the best wine in the world (Porto Quinta do Noval Vintage Nacional 2003); and also in 2012 the Portuguese Luís Sottomayor won the award of world's best winemaker by the International Wine Challenge... and these are just a few examples.
Cheese is another product that makes the Portuguese proud. Its wide assortment is also a perfect reflection of the country's diversity: from the creamy strong-scented Queijo da Serra, produced in the country's highest peak (Serra da Estrela), to the hard and dry Queijo de S. Jorge, produced in the Azores islands (S. Jorge), going through dozens of others cheese types (almost as many as the number of counties). The value of the Portuguese cheese has also been recognized with multiple awards including: a gold medal at the World Cheese Awards in 2011 (Queijo "Sabores da Idanha" fom Beira Baixa); and a silver and bronze medal in 2012 at the International Cheese Awards.
Finally, you can't travel through the country without appreciating the richness of its pastries and sweets. In fact, even if you don't have a sweet tooth, you're likely to grow an extra one… that's how outstanding Portuguese sweets are. From the traditional Pastel de Nata and Bola de Berlim, which you can buy in almost any corner coffee shop, to the egg-based sweet deserts invented centuries ago in convent kitchens, a visit to this country will have you revisit the meaning of "sweet heaven".
Lisbon was declared by QTravel as a mandatory destination if you're looking to spend a good time with your kids. This expert in tourism pointed out both the indoor and outdoor activities that you can enjoy with your kids in Lisbon.
QTravel describes the city as the "perfect" option for a fun break, and easy exploration whether on foot or by tram. Special recommendations in the city include the S. Jorge Castle, Lisbon Story Center, Lisbon Zoo, Monsanto Natural Park and the Park of the Nations (fmr Expo 98) with its Science Pavilion, Oceanarium and Water Gardens. A short drive away you can also enjoy beautiful beaches both north and south from Lisbon, the Dinosaur tracks in the Serra D'Aire, dolphins in the Sado Estuary, and the Pena Palace in Sintra. This is just to name a few!
Lisbon is definitively a city kids of all ages will love (you included!)
Portugal has less than 0.2% of the world's coast line but is was awarded close to 10% of the world's Blue Flags. These Flags are awarded to clean, healthy and sustainable beaches around the world. Locations awarded the Blue Flag have worked hard towards sustainable development following strict criteria regarding Water Quality, Environmental Education and Information, Environmental Management, and Safety.
So whether you're a fan of rough sea (North), roughed cliff beaches (Alentejo) or warm light-sand beaches (Algarve), look for the Blue Flag because chances are it will be there! It's yet another sign of the country's devotion to the oceans.
The unique beauty of its pristine ecosystems and geographical location, have led some to claim the Azores as part of Atlantis. From its volcanic peaks, through its dark-rocky coast line, to the ocean waters surrounding the islands, this is a unique place in the world.
The quality of its ecosystems has been recognized multiple times internationally. One of the most important awards was the Quality Coast Award in 2013. This award distinguishes the best examples of sustainable tourism worldwide and the Azores were praised by its high use of renewable energies and policies to support production of local products, using traditional methods, in particular wine, cheese, fruit, and tuna.
Another of the important distinctions came from the world leading diving magazine Tauchen. The magazine elected the Azores as World Top Destination for diving. Some of the remarkable characteristics that lead to the award include the deep blue ocean, large marine animals like dolphins and whales, and also the existence of several environmental protection programs.
Aside from multiple formal travel awards, Portugal has been reviewed very positively by many leading international publishers. Here are a few top examples:

Kyle McMillan has a camera and he's sneaking up on Pierce Paris in his tent on the military base to see what Pierce is up to. Kyle is in for a surprise when he finds his buddy fully immersed deep inside a FleshJack. Pierce pleads for privacy but Kyle insists that there's no such thing in the military. Kyle offers up some help and when Pierce has his eyes closed, he slips the FleshJack off of Pierce's stiff dick and starts using his hands and mouth. Pierce has no complaints and rolls with the new development. When Kyle sees that Pierce isn't going to put up a fight, he gets more into the work of pleasing the hung stud. Kyle's mouth and fist feel amazing enveloping the thick dick and Pierce takes off his shirt as the action gets more heated. Kyle comes up for some air and the two studs make out as Kyle gets out of his uniform. Pierce is so aroused that he's ready for anything. When he sees Kyle's uncut dick, he immediately opens wide and goes down to service the fit jock. Once he has his fill, he bends Kyle over and gets busy eating him out. His tongue goes deep and he loosens Kyle up for insertion. Pierce enters his toned friend and pumps away, even commenting on how tight Kyle feels. Pierce has Kyle lie back with his legs in the air for maximum penetration. The big dick goes as deep as possible while Kyle strokes his own rod to get himself close. Pierce says that he wants to make Kyle cum, and that's enough for Kyle to let loose and cover his own body with pleasure. Once Pierce has done his job, he's ready to finish up. His big dick explodes on Kyle's face as sweat runs down Pierce's muscled body. Kyle can't get enough of Piece's plump dick and continues to suck and taste the stud's cum in the extreme desert heat.
