Renovation work that will make space for a fifth Washington County Circuit judge and provide more holding cells for prisoners is expected to start in the fall, according to county Public Works Director Gary Rohrer.
An architect will be hired within the next 90 days, and the design stage of the $3.35 million project should take six months, he said.
In February, workers finished clearing out the rooms in the annex building where the treasurer and assessment offices were housed, Rohrer said. They are removing asbestos from the building, he said.
Four circuit judges are housed in the Washington County Courthouse and annex at the corner of Washington Street and Summit Avenue.

Fashions of the Sixties: A Guide for Costumes
Early 60's - Dresses were worn at knee length. The "Jackie Kennedy Look" was very popular. It included sleeveless A-line dresses, short boxy jackets with ¾ length sleeves, slim skirts, pillbox hats, white gloves, and large sunglasses. Hair was worn in bouffant styles.
Mid 60's - Dresses and skirts were worn about 4 inches above the knee. Fabrics were brightly colored and black and white optical art patterns were popular. Short white go-go boots, shoes, and lace-up boots had very low heels and were often worn with boldly colored or patterned tights. Accessories included big clunky plastic jewelry, big gaudy rings, and large caps.
Late 60's - Women wore micro-mini dresses and skirts, hot pants, and bell bottom pants with chunky heeled shoes or knee high go-go boots. Fabrics were printed with flowers or wild patterns in bold psychedelic colors. "The Hippie Look" was very popular.

Audio/Video Quality: Titty Creampies 3 was presented in a fine looking 1.78:1 ratio anamorphic widescreen color as shot by director Kevin Moore for Evil Angel/Buttman Magazine Choice. The bitrate was usually in the 3.9 Mbps range but the basic lighting covered the action well so there were not a lot of shadows around during the scenes. The flesh tones were usually accurate and the composition of the shots was usually the best for the ladies but the tease that so fascinates Kevin (and myself) were obviously the most important thing to capture for him again; this being his core audience from what I've learned over the years. Still, the action was clearly recorded and the raw energy of the cast was caught better than I expected; making it a decent looking fuck flick in most ways (as long as you are into the specific fetish), the editing by Mel Phoenix showing some care going into the final product. The audio was presented in 2.0 Dolby Digital English using a 256 Kbps bitrate and 48 kHz sampling rate; the lack of separation and dynamic range meaning the audio was a bit flatter than hoped for. It was low end audio for the most part but given the gonzo niche of the movie, this is to be expected. The musical interludes were pretty decent though and added to the fun but they did not last long for those who care.
Body of Review: Kevin Moore is one of the newest directors to participate in Evil Angel's Buttman Magazine Choice program, the man certainly showing an aptitude for showcasing hot young ladies with big boobs and exceptional skills milking a meat pipe. Later this month, Titty Creampies 3, a collection of eight scenes where the ladies use hands, mouth, and tits to get their male partner off, comes out. Over the years, I have seen a lot of scenes end with the guy rubbing one out to a set of fleshy titties, this being the second most likely place a male aims for after the face (and just ahead of creampies of crotch shots in my experience). All of the ladies were good at what they did though my favorites were Missy Martinez, Raylene, and Melina Mason, the almost three hours of footage enough to satisfy anyone into the kind of splooge-fest provided.
The company website described the movie like this: ""Titty Creampies #3" is fetish-friendly director Kevin Moore's newest tit-tanic production for Evil Angel's Buttman Choice line of specialty niche videos. Kevin's camera and cock follow his passions, in this case hefty jugs ripe for fucking and creaming. Making his way through a bevy of buxom seductresses, the well-motivated director films mostly POV-style footage of big booby tease and titty fucking action accented with cocksucking. Each scene climaxes with a gooey blast of jism sprayed in a gorgeous girl's cleavage ... there's no "pulling out" at the moment of truth and absolutely no jerking off! Exotic, busty Yurizan Beltran wraps her immense hooters around Kevin's boner and gets rewarded with a spermy splatter across her massive chest. Mature mama Ariella Ferrara uses her mouth and giant whoppers to coax out a wad of semen, and sassy French Latina bikini babe Liza del Sierra applies her up-front assets to a stiff dick. Blonde bombshell Bridgette B. oils up her huge bazooms and wraps them around Chad Diamond's hard-on until it spurts. Smoking slut Melina Mason tit-wanks Kevin for a messy result. Super-voluptuous, all-natural blonde Siri sucks him and makes him cum with her big, soft pillows. Spicy sunbather Missy Martinez milks Kevin's rigid bone with her fine knockers. Tattooed MILF Raylene's fun bags smother cock and get coated with cum. With "Titty Creampies #3," the proof is in the pudding!" Here's a very brief look at the scenes by cast and action, noting that no condoms were used for those still interested:
Yurizan Beltran
Scene One: Yurizan Beltran, the sexy brunette seen on the lower left hand corner of the cover, was up first oiling up her boobs in the bathroom, her neon pink bikini barely holding her sweet assets in as she exchanged verbal pleasantries with Kevin Moore. He caressed her and her slobbed his knob a little, the two moving around the house as she increased her verbal tease while removing her clothing. The point of view (POV) blowjob and titty fuck that followed was great, the two almost fucking when she bent over the bed though her titty fuck drained his balls dry of splooge to land on her chest.
Ariella Ferrera
Scene Two: Ariella Ferrera, the busty brunette seen on the upper middle of the right side of the cover, was up next on the backyard patio, her low cut black dress revealing a lot of cleavage as she showed Kevin Moore the "property". She was selling him the house but felt the need to sweeten the deal, moving to the small bedroom as he watched her animal print skirt sashay along the hallway though she cut to the chase to rub him through his pants. She aggressively blew him and titty fucked him with some delightful dirty talk, teasing him with her rounded ass by standing up as her thong separated her cheeks before moving back to continue working him up really well. She coyly kept stopping just short of him busting a nut of genetic juice, the final straw unleashing his seed all over her welcoming chest.
Liza Del Sierra
Scene Three: Liza Del Sierra, the sexy babe with oiled up tits on the upper middle of the front cover, was next out by the pool on a sunny day in her neon pink bikini. The resolution was such that I could see the fine hairs on her body, Liza shaking her boobs so much they almost fell out of her top on the quiet day. She oiled up her ass and tits before masturbating, her alluring accent driving Kevin wild as she toyed with him, rubbing his pecker against her tits before briefly sucking him, moving inside to finger her ass and begin titty fucking him between blowjobs (or was that the other way around). She gave as good eye contact as her peers, all of them doing a superb job by the way, the look proving very seductive as she followed the admittedly basic formula of pleasuring him. When she used her double handed "French way" of jerking him off, he nearly lost an early load of population pudding, some booty rubbing and additional titty play leading to hand to gland combat until the ending boob rub caused him to explode all over her breasts.
Bridgette B.
Scene Four: Bridgette B., the wonderfully sexy blond seen featured on the lower right hand corner of the cover, was up next as she teased Chad Diamond out by the pool in the shaded area. Her accent was more domestic but her tan lines and teasing abilities kept him interested, her desire to keep pinching her nipples getting him turned on. She oiled up and started titty fucking him, the straightforward action ending a lot sooner than most of the scenes due to the way she squeezed the spunk right out of him.
Melina Mason
Scene Five: Melina Mason, a cigarette smoking brunette with a petite body but exceptionally large boobs, was up next in a green and black dress. She was extremely playful and frisky, kneeling down to blow Kevin on the second story landing before bending over the bed to get spanked. Her skimpy thong rode up her great ass and she turned around to remind him that they needed attention too, bouncing them around before combining a titty fuck and blowjob to nearly deplete him of ball batter. She then upped the ante by oiling herself, giving him all the same pleasantries and jerking him off as she opened her mouth wide to coax out a nut. In the end, it was her boobs that got him off but it was yet another awesome scene.
Scene Six: Siri, the bodacious blond seen on the upper right hand corner of the cover, was up next as she met Kevin, his basketball going over the fence. He tried to retrieve it and she offered him a deal, she would relinquish it if he helped her oil up. This led to her removing her top and assisting him, her coy manner clearly having the intended impact as they went inside the house to a bedroom. She rubbed him a bit and started power sucking him like a seasoned champion, the titty fucking causing his pecker to be lost in her cleavage while she moaned seductively. She kept her bottom on and he dumped his spew on her chest, a lengthy post coital interview about her blowjob (throating) skills and former lesbian status leading to how she is a 40-HH with great hips to match.
Scene Seven: Raylene, the multi-award winning MILF seen on the upper left hand corner of the cover, was up next in a short red dress, her hands caressing herself to music in a more traditional opening. She gave her booty some attention and the black thong riding her ass crack was pleasing to the eye, the music ending when she crawled onto a round gray ottoman to slob Kevin's knob slowly. As the scene continued, she increased the tempo of her efforts, oiling up her tits and titty fucking him delightfully well. Rayelene has always been a sexually superior lady in many ways and her comeback awhile back proves she is better than ever, her ability to add something extra to this scene a given even if I wasn't a fan. Raylene's oral skills enhanced the scene as well, her dirty talk pushing him over the edge from what it looked like.
Missy Martinez
Scene Eight: Missy Martinez, the beautiful young brunette seen on the left middle of the cover, was up last as she played with herself out by the pool. She had on that light blue top that gave enough view of her tits that fans will appreciate the added tease, her red panties so tight that nothing was left for the imagination as the music played. She oiled up and spent most of her time on her tits, moving into the house to titty fuck Kevin. She was devoted to getting him off, her sex positive attitude not as focused on dirty talk as a few of the others but the gal giving an aural experience all the same. She did not slob his knob and as the scene progressed, she did get more into the dirty talk, the resulting wad of semen glazing her very well.

Summary: Titty Creampies 3 by director Kevin Moore for Evil Angel/Buttman Magazine Choice was a great set of eight scenes devoted to titty fucking, each of the ladies adding something different to their scene which helped keep it fresh, strokable, and add lots of replay value. That this isn't even close to my favorite form of action made me appreciate how good it was all the more, the strokability and amount of titty "fuck for the buck" earned it a rating of Highly Recommended, perhaps better if you are a devotee. In short, Titty Creampies 3 was truthfully advertised as having a pop shot going to the chest of every lady, no guys beating off at all, and a cast including such suitably busty ladies as Missy Martinez, Raylene, and Melina Mason, to go full steam ahead in a heated manner so check this one out if you enjoy the fetish or cast.

THE FIRST WEEK OF UNEMPLOYMENT was rough, and ended on a bit of a bum note. A job I'd interviewed for on the morning I was laid off was probably a long shot, but I was asked to provide writing samples, even after learning that it was originally put forward as an internal posting at the city's biggest newspaper. It looked promising, but I learned at the end of last week that they were hiring someone else. Not a huge shock, but hardly a boost to my morale.
Then there was the book proposal I'd written during the holidays. I was proud of it - thought I had a pretty good chance of making the publisher's shortlist of submissions, but learned that I hadn't on Sunday. Even though the advance would have been negligible it stung more than losing the big newspaper gig, especially since my proposal was rejected so early on. I have to keep reminding myself that this is the nature of my life now, whether I describe myself as unemployed or freelance.
Mostly I have to keep working while I'm looking for a new job, and to that end, I've decided to return to a gig that I actually enjoyed when I did it for the paper, and found myself missing when they took it away last summer - my weekly DVD column. A couple of studios and their publicists have said that they're willing to service me with review copies again, and while it'll take awhile to get things flowing , I'm going to use my pile of Academy screeners to plug the holes. Which brings me to this week's big deal DVD release...
MAMA TRIED: Clint Eastwood's Changeling begins with a vintage Universal logo - the silver sphere orbited by art deco lettering in a shimmering, irredescent black sky that was the studio's marque for the first half of the '30s - before the camera settles on a black and white long shot over Los Angeles at the end of the '20s, a garden suburb of detached houses and mature trees with the downtown in the distant background.
The film is both a period piece and, as we're informed by three simple words after the title, "a true story," which means it bears a double burden of historical veracity and fidelity to at least the bare bones of the truth. Eastwood has always been an unhurried director, and the story sets about its task in measured strides.
We meet Angelina Jolie as Christine Collins, a single mother raising her son Walter while working as a supervisor at the city's phone exchange. She's a stiff, dutiful woman, but hardly unloving with her son, and if you're seeing the film armed with even a basic idea of the true story of Christine Collins, you can't help but watch the curt, expository opening scenes with a sense of dread that Eastwood does his best to solemnly amplify.
On a morning whose date will be repeated throughout the film - March 10, 1928 - Christine is called in to fill in for a sick co-worker, and leaves her 9-year-old son at home parked on a chair in front of the radio with a sandwich in the ice box. She's forced to work late, and misses her streetcar home thanks to her boss, a well-meaning man clearly smitten with her. She returns to an empty house, the sandwich untouched, no sign of Walter or a struggle in the impeccably tidy home.
The police are initially dismissive of her concern, but finally take a statement from her, and her search turns into a major news story, thanks to the Rev. Gustav Briegleb (John Malkovich), a radio minister who incorporates her quest into his crusade against the city's corrupt and brutal police department. The police finally make a grand show of reuniting her with her son - he'd been found in the company of a drifter in DeKalb, Il - but Christine adamantly insists that the boy isn't hers.
Changeling is a period film where the past is a malevolent place; despite the '20s setting, there are no flappers or parties fuelled by bathtub gin, just a dutiful, vaguely fear-haunted world where bad things happen without reason and authority is cruel, arbitrary and almost uniformly male. The hard face of this monstrous establishment is Jeffrey Donovan as J. J. Jones, the police captain who insists that she take the strange boy home "on a trial basis" for a few weeks, aided and encouraged by the chief of police (Colm Feore) and, behind him, the mayor who has licenced the police to send gun squads out and execute criminals.
Christine Collins' story is undeniably compelling, but its the setting of pre-Depression-L.A.-as-police-state that horrifies and fascinates, though Eastwood dispatches with the bulk of it in a single expository monologue delivered by Malkovich over a montage of scenes cribbed straight out of Warner Bros.' early talkies - men with Tommy guns cold-bloodedly mowing down victims in dark alleyways, bodies being dumped from moving sedans onto streets puddled with rain, and payoffs exchanged between crooks and uniformed cops, all under cover of night.
Changeling screenwriter J. Michael Straczynski has said that he was shocked by the story of Christine and Walter Collins when he heard about it from a source at L.A.'s City Hall. "This can't actually have happened," he says, recalling his reaction in the film's production notes. "This has got to be a mistake." That might have been true for Straczynksi, but as an audience we're told - not given a chance to discover - that the cops are criminals, and so everything that happens to Christine after this seems inevitable, given the decades-old precedents of movie logic.
When Christine, aided by Briegleb, begins a public protest against the police department's incompetence and cover-up, Jones has her sent to the looney bin under a vague statute - article 12 - that lets him do this without a court order, and thanks to a defiant prostitute (the always watchable Amy Ryan) committed under the same quasi-legal precedent, she learns that the police have the habit of imprisoning obstreperous or inconvenient women in the county mental hospital, where they're at the mercy of a staff full of Nurse Wratcheds and their trusty electroshock machine.
Briegleb leads a cavalry charge that gets Christine sprung just as they're about to turn on the juice, and from this point on the film begins a quickening march toward justice and retribution, thanks to a subplot involving a conscientious police detective played by Michael Kelly, a boy being deported back to Canada, and his cagey, creepy uncle (Jason Butler Harner.)
The detective finds the boy hiding out in a desolate ranch in the desert outside the city, and before he's sent back home, he confesses to his part in the abduction and murder of 20 young boys, bullied into being an accomplice by his psycopath uncle, who's already on the run back to Canada himself. These are the infamous Wineville Chicken Coop Murders, a grisly and massive news story that broke just months before the 1929 stock market crash, to which the Christine Collins story was once just a footnote.
Harner's Gordon Northcott is an entirely different kind of monster from Jones, the police chief, and the asylum doctor who tries to pressure Christine into signing a confession absolving the police from responsibility in their deception and cover up. Going from howling rages to a simpering whine, he's the incarnation of perverse, irrational evil, a child's desires and motivations cloaked in adult authority and power, but mostly just another movie psycho meant to bear the full brunt of our dread and horror.
During his trial - held across the hall from the committee hearing into police conduct in Christine's case; I'm not sure if this is historically accurate or merely an elegant filmic device - he frequently compares himself to Christine, persecuted and framed, in scenes that are obviously meant to forge an unhappy bond between the two characters. This bond is the only thing holding together most of the last half hour of the film, from Northcott's trial to his execution, on the eve of which he requests a desire to confess to murdering Walter.
The final confrontation between Jolie and Harner is probably the best-written in the whole film, inasmuch as it's the only one that bucks the mostly pedestrian filmmaking that's preceded it. He tells her that he didn't expect her to respond to his telegram, and that now that she's in front of him, he's changed his mind. He's confessed his sins and believes he's been forgiven, and he doesn't want to undo that by lying to her. "I'm not going to hell," he insists.
Sweating and twitching, Harner doesn't let us believe in Northcott's sincerity as much as his last flourish of emotional sadism, and Jolie lays into him with more rage than Christine has been allowed to show at any point since her son disappeared, pinning him to a barred window, demanding his confession, then howling "I hope you go to hell!" as the wardens hustle him away, locking her behind a barred door as they drag Northcott back to his cell.
I put off watching Changeling till the last possible moment; for a parent, the prospect of a film about the abduction, disappearance, and presumed bloody murder of a child is hardly an entertainment to be relished. I have also lost faith in the moral gyroscope of Hollywood lately, having sat through far too many films that are either hell-bent on getting drunk on vicarious thrill-making (most action blockbusters, virtually every horror film released in the last 20 years) or intent on a grim duty to challenge my bourgeouis assumptions about the world (Revolutionary Road, Little Children, L.I.E., anything by Todd Solondz.)
What I got was a typically confused collection of moments, attitudes and effects. On the one hand, there were the quick, brutal cuts to Harner-as-Northcott swinging a bloody axe down on what we know is a helpless child, scenes shot at least once with the camera in the position of the victim. Then there was Northcott's execution, filmed with rapt attention to the details of the capital punishment ritual that stretches time unbearably.
As what is euphemistically and dubiously referred to these days as a "believer," I can't help but be intrigued whenever fictional characters talk about sin, hell and forgiveness, and when a religious authority figure is depicted as a clear force of good, though to be fair, any character is going to be suffused with a hint of perversity and vague menace when played by John Malkovich.
Then there's the scene between Jolie and Amy Ryan, who brings customary depth and energy to her brief but pivotal role as the proverbial whore with a heart of gold. Lying in her cell after getting her brain fried, she's visited by Jolie, who thanks her for cold-cocking the asylum doctor. Through her post-electroshock haze, she encourages Jolie to keep fighting.
"I lost two babies. Back alley doctors. No choice. Never had a chance to fight for them. You did. Don't stop."
Given that Eastwood was the director who gave mercy-killing a half-hearted seal of approval in Million Dollar Baby - though there are those who would prefer to commend him for putting an end to yet another zipless performance by Hillary Swank - I'm not assuming that Eastwood is trying to weave a stealthy pro-life message into his film. What I can't help but note is that, from Alfie to Juno, filmmakers have a hard time spinning abortion as a satisfying choice or appealing move for a character, much as their personal politics might tend to the contrary.
Without a menu of DVD bonus features to comment on (I only had a bare-bones Academy screener on hand for this review) I don't have any explanation or elaboration from the cast or crew that might shed some light on what motivated their decisions in Changeling. A quick Google reveals that the expected liberties were taken with plot and chronology, and that the character of Briegleb was far more problematic in real life.
Then there are the choices I wish the film had made, such as exploring just why the L.A. police department was allowed to function in fascistic defiance of consitutional rights. I know that probably wasn't Eastwood's focus, but it's what makes the inter-war period so bleakly instructive. We've come to regard coercive policing and denial of civil liberties as inventions of uniquely fascist or Nazi inspiration, along with eugenics and state-sponsored capitalism, but the fact is that these sorts of things were being discussed and even implemented in the political mainstream all through the period. (Remind me to show you the admiring things the stringently liberal Toronto Star printed about Hitler's Germany in the mid-'30s sometime.)
What I'm left with is a film that made me wince or seethe when it wasn't boring me with its workmanlike choices in structure and cinematography. I couldn't help but notice that, after letting Jolie look haggard and haunted in an Oscar-approved sense for much of the film, Eastwood lets her walk off as the credits roll with a glamourous mid-'30s flip, a slash of bright red lipstick and a dramatic black and white wide-brimmed chapeau to replace the tight curls and head-hugging cloche hats she's worn for most of the film. A movie star is a movie star, after all.

Cho'Gath Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Phantom Dancer Cho'Gath (Yes, good sir.)
If you're looking at this right now, then congratulations good sir. You have stumbled upon the completely silly build of Phantom Dancer Cho'gath. This build is not going to pretend to be the "Instant Win" build that everywhere else erroneous promises. No sir, this build is not about winning and losing, because by gods, anyone can do that. No, this build is not focused on the stress of winning, but rather focuses on having silly, non-stop fun throughout the entire game. If you recieved your First-Win of the Day bonus and just want to be silly, then this is the perfect choice for you. Now this isn't a troll build, so go and tell trundle to leave the goats alone and let them cross the damn bridge. This build is purely for the fun at all. I must recognize that there are some who would not agree so. But those are the types of people who think Tank Kennen or AD Annie never works. Good Heavens, how some people cannot have fun when playing games! Also, this build actually works quite fine. I actually have a 77% win chance when playing with the Phantom Dancers. If you're not playing this for fun, then you are in the wrong place. Anyways, on to the requirements.
First requirement before going anywhere: You must have Gentlemen Cho'gath. If you don't, the side effect is you will be caught up in the stresses again of wanting to win above having fun while you win. Second requirement, you must talk like Gentlemen Cho'gath throughout the entire game, especially in all chat. You must address any enemy team as "Sir *Whatever their name is*". Remember, you are a high classes citizen, and thus must treat others with respect. Most often, you will have everyone else promote themselves to your high-society class as well. I once had a Teemo apologize for tasting bad on the way down and had coated himself in butter for the next time. My, what a nice, cheery fellow. Anyways, once you get everyone else being silly and having fun, then you are on you're way to a nice, fun and happy game for all. At the end, there will be no winners or losers, just two sides laughing together at the fun they just had. I would like to stress the issue, even though stress is not a fun word. This build is meant for just having senseless "FUN"!
Anyways, now we can move on to the way you play Phantom Dancer Cho'gath. First off, cho'gath likes his health, mana regen, and ability power to start off, and luckily there is an item completely dedicated to this such as the Doran's Ring. How the bug manages to wear the ring, I'll never know, but I can't argue against him wearing a nice suit either. Afterwards, you grab boots and build up to swiftness the moment you get the chance. Running in a suit is difficult, but you will amaze everyone on how well practiced and easy you can do it. Then, you get the 2 Zeals, building them later into Phatom Dancers. You will then work on a Madred's Bloodrazor, then go back to more Phantom Dancers. If you find the game going on pleasurably longer then you're use to, then you will sell your Swiftness boots for another Phantom Dancer, since they will provide you for your speed anyways. If you find you're build almost complete, then sell the Doran's ring for a Infinity's edge or a Force of Nature if the enemy team is saturated with the wiggly fingers.
What to do with this build? Excellent question! For you see, did you know, that Cho'gath has the Highest Natural Attack in the game? And that each time you attack, you're vorpal spikes will activate? So by the time you get the 2 Phantom Dancers, you will have really fast attack damage with rapid fire vorpal spikes at 40% Crit Chance. With a Bloodrazor, you get more required attackspeed as well as doing an additional 4% of the enemies health per attack. Add more Phantom Dancers, and you get roughly max attackspeed with 80% Crit Chance and 4% Magic per Health total damage per hit. Add Infinity's edge, well you get the idea.
How to play him? Why, Cho'gath loves his Rupture. You toss them into the air, and then you're able to hit them when they are comfortably at eye level before they fall back to the ground. When you are able to move quickly, run past the fleeing enemy and place a rupture right in their path, allowing you to attack comfortably again. Vorpal spikes give you a little extra attack damage per hit, so that's self explanatory. However, sometimes the ruffians make too much noise for your taste, so you need to scream at them to be quiet. Not as civilized, but it makes them quiet. And don't worry, you're not on a diet. You need to keep yourself big and strong, so you may be a role-model to the rest of society. Just eat anyone you want, but make sure you have your napkin on you. You don't want to look silly with bits of food on your mouth.
Now then, you got the suit, you got the proper speech, and more importantly, you got the fun. Now everyone can fight like gentlemen!
Anything Less, would be uncivilized.
If you are having trouble speaking like Gentlemen Cho'gath, perhaps you need some one liners. Here are some good starter ones.
"Good day, everyone."
"How are you all on this fine, sunny day?"
"Damn good! Thanks for asking."
Afterwards, you'll need to play it by ear depending on the champions you'll be laning against. Some examples are:
"Excuse me, Sir Singed. But could I ask you to spray for bugs later? I find myself rather disliking the scent of the stuff."
"Ah, good! Another game of Musical Mindbreak! It is one of my favorite too, Sir Malzahar."
If you find yourself so active in the game that you can't speak regularly, don't fret. When you find the time, make sure you comment Caitlin on her Hat, or ask Udyr if that Fur is fake, in a polite way. Remember, you are a gentleman, my good man. Now Good Luck and Have Fun!
A Refined Lifestyle
If there are anyways that can make this way more enjoyable, please let me know. I will put your refined tastes in here for others to try as well. Just make sure you provide me with a detailed list of how exactly you changed your civilized behavior accordingly.

This is really all there is to it.
Anti-Semitic right-wingers of the James Von Brunn/Revilo P. Oliver/Ben Klassen (yimach shemam vezikhram!) type hate G-d because they reject the very concept of morality as a foreign intrusion onto the "eternal laws of nature." The Left hates G-d because they have divorced morality from Him and created an independent, secular standard of morality by which He isn't moral enough.
Each group looks on people like us as dupes for the other side.
All of God's laws thwart the secular, worldly goals of "human fulfillment".
While the MSM potrayed Von Brunn as a "right wing" extremist, many others - including folks here on FR - made cogent arguments to the effect that he should be classified as "left wing" when all his perverse writings and activities are considered.

Rhinos Stroll To Wigan Win In Eights Opener
Despite the two sides meeeting just a fortnight ago at the DW Stadium, it was a massively different Rhinos line up who began their Super Eights campaign at home to the Cup Finalists, Wigan Warriors.
The Warriors were 34-0 winners in the final round of the regular season and fielded a side with just three changes; Liam Farrell in the starting line up for Willie Isa, with the second rower moving to the bench where he was joined by Josh Ganson who was in for the suspended Sam Powell. Jack Wells also missed out for the Warriors.
Neither side would be able to change position at the end of the night but two points for the Rhinos would edge them closer to a play off place and would make it increasingly difficult for Wigan to make the top four.

Politico Engineer (Carthaginian, Nearly Daisies) and Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, Coraline) cove similar a fellow total graphical valhalla. Both receive prepared muscular name in the service of themselves in the distraction and storybook industries – chic customary on the side of playacting roughly hard in antic, dreamlike creations. Engineer with shows like Pushing Daisies and Dead Similar Me and Gaiman with basically everything he's period longhand.The figure keep archaic collaborating simultaneously championing upwards the defunct yr some to enlarge on a TV suiting of Gaiman's critically acclaimed unfamiliar, American Gods, as a service to Starz – with Technologist and Archangel Writer (Heroes, Smallville) at the helm of the suiting. Present-day's not anachronistic some to dispatch close by the project in the head hemisphere of 2015, but a up to date update from Fuller himself suggests fans energy not take to bide one's time such long for bigger announcements referring to the sequence.In a brand-new conversation with Cubbyhole of Imbecilic, Technologist confirmed that the leading cardinal Earth Gods chapter scripts for the run possess dead realized, all along with any complete illustrations to alleviate fair exchange the producers an suggestion of how the exhibit's planet purposefulness see. The showrunner too dyed-in-the-wool that one one enigma someone in behalf of a cue post; no offers accept antediluvian prefab as of to the present time, but when Starz pulls "the end activate" – the resourceful crew may already maintain a integer of actors feint up for several roles.Hither's a repeat from Engineer, thereon subject:Neil [Gaiman's] scheme—and Neil's deeply www apprehend—what Neil would alike to do is pitch Laura and Covering and Weekday and Head Sweeney and Bilquis, considering Bilquis purpose be a larger mark in the disclose, and the Complex Stripling so skedaddle bring out them the whole of each into the open air on-stage at a Comic-Con future up. That's his plan. He's locution "I pull on't covet to form whatsoever copy announcements, I wish for to promulgate the lob fully when they storm out on tier at a Comic-Con."It sounds corresponding the suiting is quiet deeply early-on into the proceeding while, as Fuller revealed that they are hoping in the service of a betimes 2016 commence time, so a afterwards 2016 liberate. As representing all the fans not at home near likewise who are hoping the reworking will keep the unchanging various cast as the volume – Designer has heard you and fortuitously, agrees. The Hannibal showrunner official that they are positively arrangement on copy the unaltered rallye and genders in the service of the roles as they are in the volume:Solitary of the facets I'm nigh agitated around for American Gods is the difference in the actors considering thither's much a roomy sweep of pagan Gods in the creation. Lawful at this very moment, we're imagining figure snowy roles and everybody added is coloured, so my 1, Archangel's ideal, sure Neil's 1 has antique to keep a acutely ethnically diversified toss. That's significant to each of us.As well at the present time, we container cite Empire and we containerful cite The Travel Dead as state first of all dark in their cast, and they're the digit greatest shows in the planet lawful minute, so that has to remark something. We accept to be poignant first with a image that is exact to the existence.
'Town' and 'Inhabitant Gods' showrunner Town Designer
In the service of those of you not ordinary with English Gods, hither is the authentic summary championing the new:"A hurricane is upcoming . . .Locked down exerciser in support of trinity existence, Dimness did his term, in whispers in the offing as a service to the witchcraft light of day when he could resurface to Raptor Full stop, Indiana. A guy no human afraid of what tomorrow puissance fetch, the entire he desired was to be with Laura, the spouse he inwards dear, and vantage a original sentience.But even-handed years in advance his set free, Laura and Covering's paramount ally are killed in an misfortune. With his entity in pieces and zilch to have him tethered, Darkness accepts a berth from a entertaining unfamiliar person he meets on the fashion dwelling, an ambiguous male who calls himself Mr. Weekday. A slicker and criminal, Weekday seems to recognize statesman more Gloom than Cover does himself.Subsistence as Weekday's defender, utility, and commission kid is distance off extra gripping and perilous than Dimness period imagined—it is a vocation that takes him on a inky and unusual route misstep and introduces him to a hotelier of atypical characters whose deity are secretively intertwined with his have. By the side of the mode Dusk purposefulness inform that the over and done with not in a million years dies; that everybody under the sun, including his dear Laura, harbors secrets; and that dreams, totems, legends, and myths are extra true than we grasp. Done, he intent perceive that low the still fa‡ade of common being a mistral is brewing—an large struggle as a service to the profoundly being of U.s.—and that he is standard forthrightly in its walk."Divergent from Lucifer – another Gaiman reworking put to be on the loose that class – it sounds similar Architect and Author are wealthy as a good outdoors of their distance as imaginable to erect certain the Indweller Gods series is a true change of the well-spring matter. That should comfort whatsoever fans who force keep begun to worry about the modification these dead and buried hardly months.When it be obtainables to a TV litt'rateur that could qualify a Neil Gaiman resources conceding that – it's condensed to entertain a superior suitable than Architect. Divagation from his perceptible similarities with Gaiman from a style angle – he has inseparable of the about critically acclaimed shows on boob tube at the minute in Hannibal and has traditional he's each masterly to outfit grade tube, in a solitary and interesting course of action.

The journalist, who covered the police beat in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, was found dead reportedly with gunshot wounds.
It was unclear whether Alberto Lopez Bello was attacked in retaliation for his work for El Imparcial, a newspaper in the city of Oaxaca, the state capital. The paper published a brief statement on Wednesday demanding a thorough investigation and saying that the killing "demonstrates the vulnerability to which communicators are exposed in their daily work of providing truthful and timely information to the citizenry."
The Oaxacan state government said that Lopez's body was found along with the corpse of another man in Trinidad de Viguera, a city north of the Oaxacan capital. The news website Milenio reported that Lopez suffered gunshot wounds.
The second man was identified by state officials as Arturo Alejandro Franco Rojas. Milenio reported that Franco worked for a municipal police intelligence unit.

As a marketer, you should love calls-to-action. In case you aren't familiar, CTAs are the prompts that persuade your online visitors to take some meaningful "action" (as the name implies); that action can be any number of things, including watching a video, buying an item, or filling out a form.
In most cases, the successful completion of this action (which was called for) is known as a conversion. Conversions make you money, whether that's through a direct sale, or an addition to an email list where you can get sales, or anywhere in between.
Follow that chain back to the beginning, and you'll realize how important your CTAs are to your bottom line. There are many opportunities to create and place CTAs, including on dedicated landing pages for your products or services, but today I want to talk specifically about CTAs in your blog posts.
In any case, you'll need to ensure your CTAs have these seven key qualities if you want them to be successful:
1. Prominent.
2. Tasteful.
However, it's easy to take that "prominent" quality a little too far. For example, if you have a pop-up that bombards users with gimmicky messaging, and refuses to close out (asking users variants of "are you sure?" multiple times), users may get frustrated and leave. Similarly, if you sell users too hard with your pitch, demanding that they "buy now," they may come to distrust your content and avoid you in the future. Instead, keep your CTAs tasteful and somewhat reserved, despite the fact that they're noticeable.
3. Relevant.
Ideally, your CTAs will also be relevant, tying into the focal point of your blog post. There's some wiggle room here for generic pop-ups, which might ask users to join an email list no matter what they're currently reading, but otherwise, try to keep your CTA relevant to your original headline. For example, if you've written a post on how to choose the best pogo stick, your CTA should invite users to buy one of your best pogo sticks—not to send them to the roller blade section of your site.
4. Valuable.
Good CTAs also have some apparent value to the user engaging with them. In some cases, the value is easy to demonstrate; for example, you might offer a free downloadable guide that can help users with some critical need in their professional life (in exchange for an email address). In other cases, you'll have to persuade users that what you have to show them is worth their time; this may mean describing what you're offering in more detail, or pitching the benefits. For example, "watch this video" is far less compelling than "watch this video if you want to wake up earlier every day without feeling groggy."
5. Easy.
If a user encounters even the slightest hiccup in engaging with your CTA, they'll be much more likely to leave; modern users are impatient, and want to accomplish things in the smallest number of steps. That means they expect to be taken to a new page quickly, if they have to leave at all, with only a handful of fields required to be filled out, and fast loading times on top of that. You'll want to experiment on multiple devices to ensure your CTA is user friendly.
6. Need-focused.
Before you start creating CTAs, you need to understand why your audience is viewing your content in the first place. Are they looking to learn new things? Are they trying to buy something? Are they stressed, and trying to save time every day? Speak to these needs, and your readers can't help but click.
7. Diverse.
Finally, your CTAs should be somewhat diverse, pointing to different areas of your website and utilizing different language. If you use the same copy every time, verbatim, recurring readers will quickly grow tired of your stunts, and may view you as less sincere or less trustworthy as a result. Plus, unless you're only selling one thing, you'll want to spread the love to diversify your customers' interests.
Of course, even including all seven of these characteristics isn't enough to guarantee success. The art of mastering conversion rates is tiresome, and borderline impossible; even experts in the craft are occasionally stumped by audiences and industries that don't follow the traditional rules.

- Excel Book Excerpt
Excel Group Text Fields to Build TerritoriesInstead of Using Calculated Items
This page is an advertiser-supported excerpt of the book, Learn Excel 2007-2010 from MrExcel - 512 Excel Mysteries Solved. If you like this topic, please consider buying the entire e-book.
Group Text Fields to Build Territories
Instead of Using Calculated Items
Problem: As shown in the previous topic, adding calculated items causes the totals to be wrong. I want to test grouping offices into territories. How can I do it?
Strategy: In "Build a Better Top 5 Using Groups," you learned how to group text in a pivot table. Building territories works in a similar fashion. Follow these steps:
1. Create a pivot table with City and Sales.
2. Even if you love the Compact Form layout, temporarily change to Tabular Form using the Layout dropdown on the Design tab.
3. Select the cities for your first territory. If the items are not in a contiguous range, hold down the Ctrl key while you select the cells.
4. Click Group Selection from the Options tab.
Figure 904 Group the selected cells.
The result appears to be chaos. You will be able to fix this problem, but let's take a look at what happened below. There is a new virtual field called Office2 in the pivot table. Three cities belong to a value called Group1. Every other office in the pivot table is assigned to an Office2 equal to the office name. Note that the grand total of 2927 did not change.
Figure 905 After you group the first products, chaos results.
5. Select the word Group1 in A4. Click the Field Settings dialog. Change the field name from Office2 to Territory. Change the subtotals from None to Automatic.
Figure 906 Change the name of the grouped field & add subtotals.
6. Back in the pivot table, select the cell called Group1. Type a new name for this group right in the cell. Perhaps South Fla.
7. Repeat steps 3, 4, and 6 for each additional territory.
Results: You've added territories on the fly in the pivot table.
Figure 907 Territory was added after creating the pivot table.
If you choose a cell in the Territory column and click Collapse Entire Field, you will see only territory totals.
Figure 908 Collapse to see territory totals.
Additional Details: If your VP of Sales is like my VP of sales, he will decide to re-balance the territories (several times, right?). This process is fairly easy. First, click Expand Entire Field. Then, choose the offices in column B that should be re-grouped. Below, he asked you to add Orlando to the Gulf Coast group.
Figure 909 Creative, and geographically challenged.
Click Group Selection. Those four cities will be grouped with the name of Group 1. Jacksonville will be left alone in a territory that will be renamed Jacksonville.
Hint: after the tenth iteration, try adding some formatting to the pivot table. Maybe he will think this one looks better.
Figure 910 Territory balancing is an iterative process.

The Road Less Travelled: The History of #RedAction
- The evaporation of 'real and existing socialism'
- The startling evidence of both the vitality and social reach of the neo-liberal agenda
- The emergence of euro-nationalism as an electoral threat across Europe
the one group to seriously re-evaluate whether it was fit for purpose ('were we primed to persuade rather than provoke, to set agendas rather than simply protest?') was Red Action itself.
Under New Management
- That we begin to give prominence to reporting on events and campaigns that RA members were involved in.
- That we begin to challenge the modus operandi of various organisations and campaigns on the Left.
- That we begin to politically challenge the theories of orthodox Marxist-Leninist and anarchist organisations.
"None, perhaps, are as deeply dyed revolutionaries as Red Action…[whose] website also notes Red Action's leadership role in the organisation Anti-Fascist Action and AFA's involvement in deliberately triggering street brawls with the British National Party. The images on the website's home page are of Red Action members "in action," aiming kicks at those attending a fascist rally. The website also records Red Action's willingness to recruit combative street fighters on football terraces and its association with Celtic Football Club hooligans alongside discussion of when Marxism began to go wrong in the Soviet Union."
"The success of these forms of direct action caused them to be legitimised in the eyes of the public. This in turn emboldens fascist supporters toward more ambitious political demands, inevitably followed by further paramilitary excesses.
In this year's Newham Monitoring Project's annual report AFA is condemned for the use of 'intensely paranoid almost paramilitary tactics'. To follow this line of argument is to accept that not only is confronting the fascists an alternative to confronting the state, but in addition it is to pretend that in the battle for the streets the state remains neutral.
"Instead they insist the anti-fascist movement should devote its whole strength and energy to those middle class patch-work reforms which could provide the political establishment with new supports and hence perhaps transform potential catastrophe into a gradual piecemeal and hopefully peaceful process of dissolution.
"Groups like the Newham Monitoring Project follow this strategy because they are paid to; 'revolutionary' groups like the Socialist Workers Party or the Revolutionary Communist Party follow a similar strategy by choice.
Rather than concern themselves with resolving the practical problems faced by the working class, their reason for being is to suggest abstract solutions to the problems faced by the state. For once you accept the state is the cause of the problem, it is logical to deduce that the state can, indeed must, provide the solution.
"So while the objective of the hard right is to strengthen the state through the use of force, the parallel function of the soft Left is to strengthen the state through the use of reform. The purpose of the mission is an attempt to save the state from itself. Adding to the attraction of approaching the issue arse-about-face is the promise that one's relationship with anti-fascism remains purely platonic." (RA 1992)
The alternative to ignoring community organisation is that parties like the BNP seize on peoples discontent, and stir up hate. In Phil Piratin's book 'Our Flag Stays Red' he describes the Communist Party's (CP) strategy for defeating fascism in the East End in the 1930's.
In one chapter, a local family is being evicted by slum landlords and the CP branch discusses what to do – the problem being that the head of the family is a member of the Mosley's British Union of Fascists. Piratin's position is that irrespective of the family's BUF connections, the eviction must be resisted because working class people must be protected against the capitalists. Amidst much internal hostility, Piratin's position prevailed. The CP successfully prevents the eviction of family, and the BUF member defected to the CP, saying that he had mistakenly believed that the fascists stood for ordinary people like him
'Ages and ages hence two roads diverged, and we, we took the road less travelled by, and that has made all the difference.'
REACHING FOR A MORAL HIGH GROUND LONG SINCE CROWDED by Kenan Malik
Taken from Kenan Maliks blog Pandaemonium. Please follow it here.
I have been meaning for a while to write about the current controversy over racism in English football. Lack of time has prevented me from doing so but today's match between Chelsea and Liverpool is too good an opportunity to pass up.
These are, of course, the two clubs at the heart of that controversy. Earlier this year, Luis Suarez, Liverpool's Uruguayan forward, was banned for eight matches for calling Manchester United's Patrice Evra a 'negrito'. Suarez insisted that this was colloquial Spanish for 'mate'. An FA disciplinary board found him guilty of racism. More recently Chelsea (and former England) captain John Terry was accused of racially abusing Queen's Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand during a match. This time the police got involved. Terry was charged under the criminal law with using 'abusive language' but was acquitted in court. After that acquittal the FA charged him with the same offence and, with a lower burden of proof, found him guilty. Then last month, Chelsea accused a referee, Mark Clattenburg, of using 'inappropriate', and reportedly racist, language towards two of its players, a claim currently being investigated by both the police and the FA.
The discussion of these cases by football authorities, politicians and the media has led to a growing sense of English football as a hotbed of racism. A number of leading black players, including Rio Ferdinand and Jason Roberts, have accusedKick It Out, football's official antiracist campaign of being 'soft' on racism. Some have threatened to create a breakaway union black players' union. A national poll revealed that 40 per cent of people think that racism is 'rife' in football and more than half believe it will never be eliminated.
As someone who has been both watching football and fighting racism for nearly thirty years, I find much of this discussion surreal. I am, for my sins, a Liverpool fan. I am Gary Neville's worst nightmare – probably the only person brought up in Manchester who ended up supporting the real Reds. I arrived in Britain as a six-year-old, knowing nothing about football, still less about the sociology of tribal support. By the time I found about the bitterness of the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United, it was too late. The tribal, irrational, unconditional nature of football support meant that I was stuck with my loyalties.
In my teenage years visiting Anfield, standing on the Kop, I was often spat on, kicked, called a 'fucking Paki cunt' and worse. I was hailed not infrequently with a chorus of 'There ain't no black in the Union Jack, so all the Pakis can fuck off back'. Not just from the visiting fans, though that often happened, but also from the Kop faithful. Not by everyone on the Kop, of course, or even by most people, but by a significant number, and a significant number that was largely tolerated. In the 70s and 80s racism was endemic in the football, and the authorities did not want to know.
Why did I carry on supporting Liverpool despite the abuse? Partly because sporting obsessions are rarely driven by rational considerations. Partly because to have stopped watching football would have been to give into racism; and I am the kind of person who, if I am told I cannot do something, I insist even more on doing it. And partly because standing on the Kop was little different then from standing on any street corner in Britain. Britain was a very different place then, and so was football. Racism then was vicious, visceral and often fatal. Stabbings were everyday facts of life, firebombings almost weekly events, and murders all too common.
This is why the current furore over racism seems so bizarre. I cannot remember the last time I faced the kind of abuse that was so common in the eighties. Racism still exists, of course, and needs always to be confronted, but it is relatively isolated. Indeed, it is precisely because racism is so rare that it seems so shocking when we are confronted with it.
If I cannot remember the last time I faced the kind of abuse that was so common in the seventies and eighties, nor can most players. David James was for many years the England goalkeeper, one of England's leading black players and a highly articulate opponent of racism. 'I struggle with the racist issue in football' he observed recently at a 'Leaders in Football' conference at Stamford Bridge recently. Not because he faces racism all the time, but because he so rarely does. 'I don't see it', James said, 'and that's not because I've got my head in the sand. In the earlier days, yes, but the game's changed.' In the whole of the 2010-11 season, there were just 43 arrests in England for racist or indecent chanting. A number of black players have certainly faced nasty abuse on Twitter, but that tells us more about the character of Internet discussions than it does about racism in football.
The fact that racism is rare, does not mean that it should not be challenged wherever it appears. But just because racism is not right does not mean that we should pretend that it is rife.
If racism is not the issue that once it was, why the sudden interest on the part of the football authorities in combating racism? Having spent decades ignoring racism in the sport when it was a real, live issue and required a robust response, the FA is now trying to gain the moral high ground by conducting a war that has largely been won. It would have taken guts and commitment to have stood up to racism three decades ago. Today, the FA is trying to clamber on to a moral high ground that has long since become crowded.
If the character of racism has changed over the past three decades, so too has the character of antiracism. Antiracism has all too often become less about challenging discrimination or hatred, more about moral posturing. 'A lot of the issues that we've gone on about in the last season or so, it's more about people driving the issue than the issue being a real focus', as David James put it.
Antiracism has also increasingly become a matter of social control, of the law defining what is and is not acceptable for people to say. Consider two recent cases. Last month, Rangers fan Connor McGhie was jailed for three months for 'religiously aggravated breach of the peace' for singing 'offensive songs which referred to the Pope and the Vatican and called Celtic "Fenian bastards"'. Meanwhile the Society of Black Lawyers have threatened Spurs fans with court actionif they continue to refer to themselves as 'Yids' or the 'Yid Army'. The Rangers fan was undoubtedly motivated by bigotry, the Spurs fans mostly by a desire to challenge bigotry. Both cases reveal, however, how antiracism in football has become part of the wider campaign to use the criminal law to ban speech deemed offensive or hateful.
I have long argued that the giving of offence, and even hate speech, should be a moral matter but not a matter for the criminal law. That is as true on the football pitch as on the streets. We should always challenge racism. We should also always challenge attacks on liberties in the guise of faux antiracism.
#LeeJasper: RESPECT Find Their Next Sleazeball Candidate To Fight Croydon North By-Election
If ever there was a party that made the left look pathetic, weak, self-serving and reeking of multicultural opportunism you can't find better than the Respect Party.
So it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that Lee Jasper Inc has joined George Galloway Inc to attempt to try and shore up the black vote in Croydon.
For those not quite in the know about dear Lee, below we reproduce an article by the IWCA from back in 2008. Just remember folks, class isn't the issue any more, it's all about race and which pocket of funding you can squeeze out as a self appointed representative of your chosen racial identity. The sleazier your character the better and bags of money for everyone especially if you're a friend of Ken Livingstone. And when you don't deliver? Take cash and move to the next town and start over leaving the 'community' you've chosen to 'represent' in a worse state than they were before.
Let's hope the working-class people of Croydon North put Jasper and the Respect Party right where they belong…firmly on their opportunistic segregationist money grabbing arses….
Some are more equal than others…
In the land of 'equal opportunities' some are clearly more equal than others, if the grants by the London Development Agency (LDA) described as the Mayor's 'business arm' are anything to go by. Under the guiding hand of Lee Jasper, the principle race adviser to Mayor Ken Livingstone, the LDA, has been doling out grants to his friends and cronies, as if there is no tomorrow.
Of course with police currently investigating four of the beneficiaries there may indeed be no political tomorrow for Jasper and Co; so 'make hay while the sun shines' seems to be the motto. And with good reason.
On Tuesday Rosemary Emodi, the deputy to the Mayor's adviser on race, was exposed as a liar and forced to quit her £64,000 job, after initially denying she had accepted a free weekend at a £200-a-night beach resort in Nigeria without telling her employers. Her stay was paid for by the resort, La Campagna Tropicana , near Lagos.
When journalists made inquiries about the trip, Ms Emodi told her employers that she had never been to the resort, and the Mayor's office issued a statement which later turned out to be untrue. The BBC obtained confirmation that Ms Emodi had in fact flown to Nigeria on Friday 30 November, returning the following Monday. The Mayor's office has emphasised that no public money was involved.
But Brixton Base, run by a friend of Mr Jasper, Erroll Walters, a long-standing friend of Ms Emodi, who accompanied her to Nigeria, has however benefited hugely from public money. Brixton Base has received more than £500,000 in the shape of LDA grants to be precise. The London Evening Standard claims that, to date, nine students have complained to the LDA of intimidation and lying by Brixton Base staff.
In all it is believed that approximately £3 million of taxpayers money has been invested in similar projects with no discernable return. For example Diversity International, a company run by another business associate of Mr Jasper, received a £295,000 grant from the London Development Agency – all the money has disappeared without trace.
Of the total of thirteen projects under suspicion, not one thought it worthwhile to invest even a tiny fraction of the money in covering their tracks. Had they done so there would be something, anything, to show for their efforts, when the auditor or police came calling. As the story is breaking in increments, initially and inevitably the greatest shrieks of outrage from the media have been on behalf of the London taxpayer.
This is perfectly understandable, but there are other victims in all of this, and they are the supposed beneficiaries of the LDA largesse; London's black working class. They, and their interests are after all supposedly Jasper's reason for being.
His entire career from when he first emerged in the late 1980's has been based on the premise that when you come down to it race remains the determining factor that transcends all else. He is, as one critic put it, 'some one who would play the race card in a game of solitaire'. And he would also go to extraordinary lengths to prove his point.
Race riot
In 1991 he organised a march through the predominately white class neighbourhood of Bermondsey simply to prove that racism did exist there and because of that fact a grant funded initiative he himself had proposed was needed to tackle it. Jasper chose to march on a day and a time that made conflict with fans of the local football club, Millwall, who were playing at home, inevitable.
The result was a race riot, with attacks carrying on long into the night. Whether he subsequently got his grant is not known, but whatever the outcome, it was the black working class locally and not Jasper who paid a high price for this particular political misadventure. But then again having others pay the price is hardly novel. When the Lib Dem candidate for Mayor, Brian Paddick, was a serving police officer, he and Jasper's often crossed paths in the run up to the annual Notting Hill Carnival.
Predictably Jasper had cast himself as a 'community leader' in west London even though he was born in Oldham and actually lived south of the river. According to Paddick's account, Jasper's real interest in the affair was restricted to one long street that he, Jasper, insisted was 'controlled by the community', which in Jaspers eye's entitled the 'community' to collect the monies from stall-holders that would normally go to the organising authorities. A standoff would normally ensue, with Jasper invariably emerging as triumphant. 'An example of entrepreneurship' was how Jasper would describe it.
That Jasper appears to have taken 'affirmative action' as a personal entitlement is beside the point. In terms of race relations there is more to this than the odd rotten apple, or indeed barrel.
Observer Columnist Nick Cohen recently appeared on a panel to discuss the forthcoming Mayoral election. A question came up on the issue of 'affirmative action'. The substance of Cohen's criticisms was that it always went to the 'wrong people'. In his experience he told the meeting the principal beneficiaries of such schemes were 'already middle class'.
This is undoubtedly true, but that objectively is the entire purpose of the stratagem: talk up equal opportunities for all but in reality work to create and sustain a black middle class as a buttress to the existing white middle class in order to maintain the political equilibrium, with the working class, white and black alike, picking up the tab in one way of the other.
'Rosemary Emodi Plc'
A case in point is the career of Rosemary Emodi herself. Nigerian born to a middle class professional family she moved to London with her sister to study. She qualified as a barrister and in the late 1990's became active in the Society of Black Lawyers (set up in 1973 to fight racism).
Ms Emoldi was fond of arguing that SBL should remove obstacles to "black success." She certainly tolerated no obstacles to her own success. Within the black business community she was, it is alleged, widely known as "Rosemary Emodi PLC". At the Town Hall her persona was of course very different. There she talked 'the good fight', both eloquent and consistent in her appeals on equality issues which endeared her to minority campaigners.
The likelihood is she didn't believe a word of it. For when she took a free holiday in a 5 star holiday in Nigeria with her hosts believing that she and her companion, Errol Walters, were on an official mission from the GLA to investigate 'funding visits for London youngsters with African roots', she was consciously exploiting the inequalities, real or contrived, she was paid £64,000 a year to address.
And just because the scheme in question was an absurd improvisation of no imaginable merit, there can be little or no doubt that Emodi would have been just as eager to leech off it, had it been authentic and worthwhile. So what does that say about the integrity of the man that had her appointed his deputy, Lee Jasper? And indeed the probity and judgement of the individual who in turn had hand-picked Jasper?
Livingstone stated recently that he believes he can 'trust Lee with his life'. Who knows, he may even believe It? But if Livingstone was anyone other than the High Priest of Multiculturalism, Jasper and company would already be toast. However startling it might appear, Jasper and Emoldi may not be the final word in self-serving hypocrisy.
Especially when compared to the unedifying crew responsible for running the Major's administration, serving as the well lubricated liason between City Hall and the City. As is now widely known the main stringpullers are former members of a group called Socialist Action.
In 1990 following the collapse of the Berlin Wall, Socialist Action (no. 7, Summer 1990) had this to say: "The destruction of at least some of the workers' states, in Eastern Europe, and the imperialist reunification of Germany are both the greatest defeats suffered by the working class since World War 2…" The reference to only 'some of the workers states' was because SA still had high hopes for Romania!
If, as Channel 4's programme Dispatches claims, the Mayor has of late taken to indulging in the odd tipple, prior to, with, or instead of his museli, it is not too surprising. What will be probabaly hard for Livingstone to stomach if, as it appears, the old fraud's entire career and legacy is hanging by a thread, is that he really has no one to blame but himself. As the old saying goes, 'show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are'.

Half a Ton of Butter Never Looked So Good
Anybody have some toast? Because we've got a thousand pounds of butter in the form of a massive sculpture. The half-ton milk fat monument was unveiled at Pennsylvania's Farm Show this week in Harrisburg. It depicts careers in the dairy industry, and is a delicious way to honor the agricultural arts. Also, it tastes a lot better than marble.
