One of the ridings was Jean-Talon, a Quebec City riding the Liberals have held since 1966.
The other byelection in the provincial capital saw one former TV reporter, Veronyque Tremblay, defeat ex-journalist Jocelyne Cazin, who was running for the Coalition for Quebec's Future.
Sebastien Proulx easily won in Jean-Talon, getting about 40 per cent of the votes, compared with the 44.5 per cent garnered by Yves Bolduc in the 2014 general election.
In Chauveau, Tremblay snagged about 40 per cent of the vote to emerge victorious with a majority of more than 1,500 votes.
In comparison, the Coalition's Gerard Deltell won the riding in 2014 with 52.4 per cent of the vote and a majority of nearly 10,000 over the Liberal candidate.
Deltell stepped down earlier this year after announcing he will run for the federal Conservatives in the fall election.
Late in the Chauveau campaign, the PQ sent in Peladeau's longtime partner and well-known TV personality, Julie Snyder, to boost the chances of candidate Sebastien Couture.
He ended up with about 16 per cent of the vote.
The results will have little impact on the makeup of the national assembly: the Liberals now have 71 of the 125 seats, compared with the PQ's 30, the Coalition's 21 and Quebec solidaire's three.

...this season's bumper crop is too much of a good thing, underscoring what critics call a paradox at the heart of the government farm subsidy program: America's efficient farmers may be encouraged to produce far more than the country can use, depressing prices and raising subsidy payments. In other words, because the government wants to help America's farmers, it essentially ends up paying them both when they produce too much and when their crop prices are too low.Economist's View adds
Even as the Bush administration tries to persuade member nations of the World Trade Organization that it is serious about trimming agricultural subsidies, federal spending on farm payments is closing in on the record of $22.9 billion set in 2000, when the Asian financial crisis caused American exports to fall and crop prices to sink, pushing the Midwest farm belt into recession.
If export sales stay weak, this year's subsidies could hit a new record. Just last week the United States Agriculture Department raised its projection of payments to farmers by $1.3 billion, to $22.7 billion. In 2004, the subsidies were only $13.3 billion.
In response to pressure, the Bush administration said last month that the United States was prepared to cut its most trade-distorting farm subsidies by 60 percent over five years. The world's poor nations, which tend to be heavily dependent on agriculture, complain that American and European Union farm subsidies spur growers to produce gluts that depress crop prices throughout the world.
For critics of the American subsidy system, the record corn production highlights the tenuous assumptions underlying the program. Farmers are encouraged to produce as much as they can with the idea that greater exports will soak up the excess production. More recently, there are high hopes for using corn to produce ethanol for gasoline, but the infrastructure to produce large amounts of ethanol will take time.
But the huge volumes in recent years have not been matched by greater demand for American corn, and the woes created by two big harvests, along with the stifling effect of Hurricane Katrina on the transport of grains, have kept exports in check, analysts and grain traders said.
This year grain piles are everywhere across Iowa and parts of Illinois, the two biggest corn-producing states. In Iowa, the amount of grain being stored on the ground for lack of storage is averaging more than 19 percent, its highest level in at least 25 years, Mr. Fray said, citing private industry data.
Lately the giant piles have become the butt of jokes in farm country. They were spoofed in a fake picture, widely e-mailed, that showed a skier airborne atop West Central's biggest pile, with the caption that said "one thing you can do with a 3-million-bushel pile of harvested corn: Ski Iowa."
There seems to be general agreement that farm subsidies distort markets and should be eliminated. There also seems to be general agreement that to do so is political suicide.They also suggest private insurance.

If someone can correctly identify the the location of the body of water that is home to the often snagged wires pictured above, I will send some FlyFishMagazine.com schwag their way. Here is a hint: It's in the Carolina mountains but not necessarily on technical US soil. Bonus points if you can name the campground on its banks.

The death of the veteran politician deprives the opposition of a well-known rallying figure. Without him, uncertainty and growing popular anger are likely to lead to more instability.
The death of prominent opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi has deprived the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) of a unique political figure who was at the forefront of the fight for democracy for over three decades.
His loss is a major blow to the main opposition coalition, the Rassemblement, which he led alongside the relative newcomer, ex-Katanga Governor Moïse Katumbi. It also undermines the DRC's faltering transition and may play into the hands of the ruling majority that has consistently sought to delay elections.
Coming just a month after the signing of a political agreement, which would have put him at the head of an important follow-up committee, his departure robs the opposition of a leader able to combine genuine street-level popularity with an ability to squeeze out political deals. As popular anger mounts, the opposition will have to work hard to rebuild a credible leadership, capable of concluding a deal with the majority.
The 84-year-old Etienne Tshisekedi launched the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS) opposition party in 1982 and built a strong following in his native Kasai region and in the capital Kinshasa. He symbolised the struggle for democracy in the waning days of the President Mobutu Sese Seko regime. He also opposed President Laurent Kabila, who overthrew Mobutu in 1997, and his son Joseph Kabila, the current president.
Unable to resist the populist option, he made a strategic error when he boycotted the relatively credible 2006 elections. In 2011, he ended up coming second in a hard-fought but less credible election, and did not accept the result, proclaiming himself president in a parallel swearing in ceremony.
In more recent years, despite living abroad, he again became the symbolic figurehead of the struggle for democracy, this time over the defence of the constitution, and particularly its two-term limit for the president, and the need to organise elections on time in December 2016. They have since been delayed.
This position allowed him to improve cooperation with his fellow opposition leaders, and in June 2016 he was a driving force behind the creation of the Rassemblement, combining the forces of several parties and high-profile figures, including Moïse Katumbi and those in the "G7" (an umbrella group of opposition parties that left the ruling majority in 2016), giving the opposition renewed cohesion and strength.
When Tshisekedi returned to Kinshasa on 27 July 2016 after years of self-imposed exile, he was greeted by massive crowds, demonstrating his unique credibility and ability to get people out onto the street. These were seemingly undamaged by simultaneously being in direct and secretive talks with Kabila's governing majority.
As president of the Rassemblement's "governing council" (Conseil des sages), Tshisekedi provided legitimacy and political credibility to the other parties and individuals, most of whom had been part of the ruling majority or held positions in government. These actors needed Tshisekedi's street credibility and popularity as they tried to build a more pragmatic negotiation strategy. At several moments, tension within the Rassemblement was palpable as the G7 tried to manage the unpredictability of the platform's leader.
After the elections were pushed back by 18 months, a combination of mounting popular tension and pressure by the international community led to the signing of the 31 December 2016 global and inclusive agreement mediated by the Congolese Catholic Church. It called for a transitional government, a promise that President Kabila will not run for another term, and elections to be held in 2017. Tshisekedi no longer had the physical strength to participate in the talks, but his symbolic importance was underlined when he was appointed as the president of the critical follow-up committee, the Conseil National de suivi de l'accord et du processus électoral (CNSA).
The transition process stalls
Tshisekedi left Kinshasa on 24 January as negotiations on the implementation of the 31 December agreement stalled over several issues, including the procedure to appoint a new prime minister and the division of ministerial positions. The lack of progress, in the context of deepening economic malaise and insecurity in several provinces, including Tshisekedi's native Kasai Central, will increase popular frustrations and tensions.
Tshisekedi had symbolic importance for the population; despite his at times vainglorious or inflammatory approach, he represented hope of a better political future. Those now taking over the mantle of political opposition will find it hard to channel the frustrations of the population, already deeply sceptical about politicians, into constructive political engagement. The only moral authority and beacon of hope at this stage remains the Catholic Church, currently attempting to resuscitate the agreement it mediated in December.
Before his demise, Tshisekedi's party had already been struggling with the succession question. And while some have been pushing for Tshisekedi's son Felix to take over, others refuse moves that make the party seem like a hereditary monarchy, whatever the strength of the name Tshisekedi. This struggle played out in the broader political negotiations and disputes over who should become prime minister, with some pushing for Felix to take that role in the name of the Rassemblement.
Charles Mwando Nsimba, the G7's president and Rassemblement's vice-president, who died in December. Moïse Katumbi would be an obvious choice to take on a more prominent leadership role. But he is still in a form of exile abroad, pending an eventual agreement on his judicial prosecution (a sensitive case, that is now, per the December agreement, managed by the National Episcopal Conference of Congo [CENCO]). Moreover, while Katumbi has a certain national popularity, he does not have the political party, political weight or legitimacy as an opposition leader that Tshisekedi could command.
Talks that had been extended for a week by CENCO after the failure to meet the 28 January deadline are likely to be halted for a while during the funeral and mourning period. After that, there is an opportunity for political leaders to work in good faith to implement the 31 December agreement and to open up political space. But renewed popular anger will be an increasing challenge as people's faith in the political process plumbs new depths.

I took a bit of a break from my computer last month, while travelling around Thailand and Vietnam. I met up with my man Jeff and his brother Jesse, as well as some other friends and family along the way. We started in Koh Samui on the Southeast coast of Thailand, headed a bit north to Koh Tao, made our way by boat and plane to Saigon in Vietnam (aka Ho Chi Minh City), with a few days in Mui Ne, flew to Danang and Hoi An in time for Christmas, then farther North to Hue, Hanoi, Sapa, Bac Ha and Halong Bay. We saw some great things, and had some good times. We were all learning to use Jeff's new Canon G12 camera –I'm still sorting through a couple thousand pictures. I've linked to the first album in facebook, along with descriptions of the trip…
Here are some highlights:
- Amazing cheap massages right on the beach in Koh Samui.
- Dancing all night at the full moon party … after a few too many buckets.
- A very rough ride from Koh Samui to Koh Tao on a speedboat… roughly half of the boat tossed their cookies. Jesse and I barely made it out unscathed, Jeff did not.
- Learning to dive in Koh Tao, doing some underwater chicken dancing with Jesse, meeting great new friends like James and Caroline, and watching it all on video once we got certified – there`s a copy waiting for me at home that I paid way too much for. I was drunkenly talking about how I`m rich now and need to be a `benefactor of the arts`.
- Yummmmmy Thai food – including pad thai for a buck.
- Watching the visual symphony that is thousands upon thousands of motorcycles on the streets of Saigon… with many of the riders or their kids dressed as Santa.
- Meeting up with Roy, Hawa, Alicia, Sam, Archer, Onion/Boris, and Clay in Mui Ne. Loved spending time with the rambunctious kids who are all smart as a whip, eating great seafood with Vietnamese flavours, and seeking out near-daily massages. Boris` surgery and the resulting video are a standout. Another stand out is the night in the crazy Vietnamese club… think strobe lights, mind-blowingly loud music, bottle service, and plenty of enthusiastic locals.
- Vietnam in general… what a great country. The food, the funny and friendly people, and the beauty. Jesse, and eventually Jeff and I as well, made a lot of friends by making a big effort to learn Vietnamese… it made for a lot of laughs, and we got pretty good after a while! We also referred to Vietnam as the "cute factory", because everywhere you looked were the cutest kids you have ever seen. We could barely contain ourselves.
- Though we spent some of our time in Hoi An wandering the streets lined with beautiful old French-inspired buildings, over half was spent Hoi An in B'Lan's tailor shop, and being adopted by our tailor and her family as a result! They let us stay in their guesthouse for free – Jeff and Jesse are there now, on the tail end of the Tet celebrations. The karaoke night was the best part – both B'Lan and her husband are brilliant singers. And our rendition of "Sweet Caroline" wasn't too bad either.
- New Years in Hue… everyone was ambivalent about going out, but we ended up at the "Brown Eyed Bar", met some great people and did some dancing to cheesy tunes.
- A motorcycle tour in Hue – what a great way to travel in Vietnam, especially being on the back and not having to worry too much about the other crazy drivers. Saw beautiful pagodas, tombs, and a covered Japanese bridge.
- Shivering under our blankets and enjoying some serious HBO time in Sapa – I know I'm Canadian, and tend to exaggerate, but I swear that is the coldest I've ever felt.
- Running away from the pushy lady trying to push her tribal crafts on us, who always seemed to be waiting outside of her hotel, and starting cackling madly as she chased us.
- When we weren't shivering in Sapa, joining our guide Sonny on a tour down the mountain into the hill tribe villages for some views of classic rice terraces. The best was that he was armed with plenty of candy, and would call out to the kids in the villages as we passed by to come and get some – these kids went crazy for it, and we got to feel like we won their heart. Sonny also managed to save us from other pushy ladies selling things.
- Though tainted by tourism and souvenirs, the market in Bac Ha had many corners that were still pretty `legit` (as Jesse would say). Jeff got some great pics of a water buffalo deal going down, and Jesse got some homemade knives for camping. Jeff made friends with a six year old, who was quite enthralled with his beard, and also pointed back and forth from Jeff`s chest hair to the monkey on his shirt, showing the comparison.
- More great friends in Hanoi, especially our friend Dao, who worked in our hotel and is the kindest, sweetest soul you ever met.
- Kayaking through Halong Bay, including going through some caves.
- Sitting in the bar by the pool of the gorgeous Metropole hotel feeling rich and beautiful…
In 5 weeks, I`ll be travelling around India, with Jeff and my 16-year-old sister Kylie. In the meantime, starting to see some good blog-worthy results at work. Till next time…

Making a life in the shade of the wreck that is now America
But I couldn't help feel we're doing our best, all of us, making lives in the shade of this wreck as I glance around the veterinary clinic's waiting room. My wife remarks softly how there's nothing sadder than the sound of a sick cat. I nod. She says it so its owner can't hear her over kitty's mornful, human-like cries coming from inside a carrying cage.
Our greyhound Pony, depressingly ill for days at home, now stands as erect, alert and as far from us as the taut leash we've given her will allow. She's cured! Or so she would have us believe.
Of the four dogs we've had, Pony's the only one who loves coming to vet's. Despite knowing the pain and discomforts the vet is capable of dispensing.
It's moments like these that remind us why we picked ol Po' out of the herd the first time we saw her. Extremely amiable, aloof, quirky and very 'kick ass'. These were characteristics we detected she possessed--if she felt like it. And then there was the mysterious piece of missing ear she'd left somewhere in Arizona.
A small dog appears at the check-in counter and suddenly Pony is now a doberman. She's barking with ferocity. Back at the house, as a greyhound, Pony's a mute. She doesn't know how to bark. But here with a dog one one fifth her size, Pony becomes 'kick-ass'. Moments later a tech appears and takes Po' back for X-rays.
As we wait, a young woman comes in and sits across from us. Her pup, an eager learner, already hates this place. He sits at her feet. I watch as he gets up, moves closer, and resits. He's leaning against her now. We remark something of his cuteness. She responds disinterested.
Not taking her hint, we ask what kind of dog he is. She says with less indifference he's an old English bulldog. We hate bulldogs, but without the horrific bulldog underbite, he's able to close his mouth without teeth showing. He even breathes without sounding like a dying asthmatic. His expressions are almost human. We like this little guy.
We learn he belongs to this woman's 11 year old daughter. She explains he's extra edgy, having missed his breakfast. Knowing that fasting is often a prelude to some kind of invasive procedure, we ask, and learn today he's getting fixed. I say something like, "When he awakens, he'll be missing more than his breakfast."
By now the woman has become quite affable. It seems like we've known her more than five minutes. Maybe more like ten or fifteen, when suddenly she sobers the three of us up with the news that later this summer her husband's going to Iraq. It'll be his second tour.
My wife says she is so sorry. The pretty young woman says she is too. And then she and her dog are gone, the dog to lose his testicles, the young woman to lose her husband. We hope the the latter returns.
Just another day in the shade of the wreck.
2 comments:
Sounds promising! Loved your description of "kick ass" Pony, even if only an attitude adopted at the vet. I think it's a natural animal thing to not want to show weakness. Our dogs turn into pit bulls there, straining at the leash, barring teeth, fur up along their backs. No one would guess these are the same dogs that live to sleep on the bed, afraid of a little rain or thunder. And ... you met Winston Churchill in the waiting room who was awaiting the quick snip! Not to mention his "daddy" who will soon be bravely defending the wreckage of iraq at the behest of men who've never known a moment of real discomfort (sigh). D.K.
My dear, sweet little mutt (now dead some 20 years) knew the minute our car turned into the plaza where the vet's office was. I don't know how she knew, but she did -- and she'd start yelping right away...
So glad your pooch feels better... Very, very sad (and so utterly unnecessary) that the lady's husband has to go to Iraq. What an unholy and mindbogglingly evil idea that was for all concerned (Iraq, the U.S., indeed the whole world).

Japan's Nikkei mounted to two-year high as U.S. hi-tech rebound boosts mood
Japan's Nikkei mounted more than 1 percent to a near two-year high on Tuesday, encouraged by recoiled in U.S. hi-tech shares as investors bet on solid growth in the economy and corporate profits globally.
European shares seen extending gains, with spread-betters expecting Germany's DAX to rise 0.2 percent from Monday's record closing high. France's CAC is expected to open 0.3 percent higher while Britain's FTSE is seen up 0.1 percent.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan held firm near a two-year high struck last week, but was little changed on the day.
Taiwan shares striked a 17-year high but gains in high-tech firms were offset by a fall in Australian shares.
A big focus for Asia is whether index provider MSCI will later in the global day open up its Emerging Markets Index to Chinese mainland shares which have inadequate ingress for foreign investors.
The blue-chip CSI300 index of mainland stocks was down 0.2 percent.
Wall Street's S&P 500 and the Dow industrial average hit record highs as technology shares rebound back after some sudden falls earlier this month.
Chief global strategist at Rakuten Securities, Mutsumi Kagawa said, "Hi-tech shares just went through a correction. Their valuation is not that expensive, standing far below their levels at the peak of the dot-com bubble in 2000. Given that their profits are expected to see exponential growth in coming years, it is premature to say the rally in hi-tech shares is over."
U.S. financial shares also gained as U.S. debt yields soared after New York Federal Reserve President William Dudley, a close ally of Fed Chair Janet Yellen, said U.S. inflation should rebound alongside wages as the labor market continues to improve.
The 10-year U.S. Treasuries yield climbed to 2.184 percent from a seven-month low of 2.103 percent touched on Wednesday, following surprisingly weak U.S. inflation data.
Senior investment analyst at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities, Norihiro Fujito said, "Even though the Federal Reserve is about to shrink its balance sheet, possibly as soon as in September, U.S. bond yields are kept at low levels, which are very comfortable for stocks."
He also said, "Trade volume is light and whether the market continues to rise depends on whether large cap tech shares continue to rebound."
The rebound in U.S. bond yields helped to lift the U.S. dollar, which rose to 111.775 yen, its highest level in more than three weeks. The euro traded at $1.1154, just above its two-week low of $1.11315 set on Thursday.
The British pound slid slightly to $1.2735 from Monday's high of $1.2814, held back by doubt over domestic politics and over Britain's economic future, as formal Brexit debate got under way on Monday.
Oil prices flirted with this year's lows as market players saw more signs that rising crude production in the United States, Libya and Nigeria were weakening OPEC-led efforts to support the market with output curbs.
Brent crude futures traded at $46.92 per barrel, flat on the day and not far from last week's low of $46.70 and five-month low of $46.64 touched in early May.
U.S. crude futures stood at $44.19 per barrel, less than a half cent above its five-month low of $43.76 set on May 5.
Safe-haven gold striked a one-month low of $1,243.2 an ounce as risk sentiment improved, before blooming back a tad to $1,245.5.

Commonly known as oral sex, licking the pussy or cunnilingus it's meant to tantalize the senses of your woman and give her a mind blowing orgasm. Most women though shy about it the first time round, they are in fact more than happy to be pleasured by your mouth. Continue reading How To Give a Woman Fantastic Oral


text: So on Christmas Eve I was in a car accident in Ella the Element. She went into the shop on the 26th and FINALLY this morning I got her back. It took 1 month and 4 days to get her all fixed up. It was ridiculous. Anyway they gave her a nice bath and she looked really pretty this morning. Not so great now that it is lightly snowing, but at this point I am just glad to have her back. It was an adjustment getting in to drive it. I got pretty used to a smaller car over the last month. One good thing that came of all of this is that now I remember to put on my seat belt since the Sebring had an annoying beeping sound if I didn't. Guess it turned into a habit.

I don't know about you but on Saturdays and Sundays, the Instagram husband and I like to sit all day in a café to work on our respective projects. We're always on the search for new cafés with free wifi. But with 7.3 million people in the city out during the weekend, it's nearly impossible to find a quiet working space. That's until we discovered the hidden little gem called Café d'i.
The brightly coloured café is located in the Central district, which would usually make it a nest for people on weekends if not for its off-the-path location. Getting there, I completely underestimated the hike up from MTR Central Station to 11 Chancery Lane's Café d'i. And when I say Café d'i's location is off-the-path, I really mean off-the-path. It's totally unnoticeable from Old Bailey Street, which may explain why it was almost empty when I arrived.
Café d'i boasts a cheerful atmosphere that matches the friendly staff with its colourful panelling. It certainly isn't the type of concrete interior I'm obsessed with, but it's definitely a nice working space. I'm not a fan of reflective surfaces but it somehow makes sense with the green, yellow and orange walls of Café d'i to tout this finishing.
Ambiance-wise, the café is quiet with just several returning guests dropping by from time to time. The relationships between the staff and the customers are nice to watch. Everyone seems to be on friendly terms. Café d'i certainly has a chipper, happy feeling to it.
The food is nothing special, but I mean, you really just go because of the cutesy architecture. You can expect the usual western fare like all day breakfasts, pasta and salads cooked Hong Kong-style. It's nice that Café d'i offers lunch sets at an affordable HKD$88 too, even on weekends. For me, that's a great deal with an appetiser, a generous portion of the mains, and a drink. Remember, we're in Central!
Café d'i is set to become one of my favourite cafés for working in on Hong Kong island. The only thing I dislike is its secluded location, but I suppose that's what makes it quiet and relaxing. The hike up to Chancery Lane can easily be fixed after some cooling down, so all in all, it's not bad in exchange for the friendliest service ever!

The CFN Speaker Series continues November 30th right here at the Centre, with special guest presenter Dr. Yahya El-Lahib of the University of Calgary. Yahya came to the Faculty of Social Work, University of Calgary after finishing his PhD at the School of Social Work, McMaster University. As a long time disability activist, Yahya's research, practice and policy background has centred on working on disability issues at all levels of intervention, from frontline work with individuals and families, to community practice, policy development, and research on a variety of issues including education, employment, poverty, political and civic engagement, as well as the impacts of war. Throughout this involvement, Yahya has been closely affiliated with the disability movement in Lebanon working from a grassroots social justice approach which has allowed him to bring to his current community involvement, teaching and research in Canada a critical transnational dimension to social work.
In his presentation, he will outline key tensions at the intersection of disability and displacement by highlighting some of the issue that settlement workers in Canada face when providing services for immigrants and refugees with disabilities. In addition, he will briefly sketch some of the dynamics that immigrants and refugees with disabilities face during their displacement, as well as settlement and integration processes. He will then move to discuss the need to defragment key and essential services that immigrants and refugees require to facilitate a successful settlement and integration process. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of the troubling dominant misconceptions about immigrants and refugees with disabilities to highlight the actual and potential contributions that they make to the Canadian local and national fabric. Throughout this discussion, key recommendations for the settlement sector will be provided to improve the quality of services for immigrants and refugees with disabilities.

I really should STOP doing online quizes. The latest one I filled in on what type of decision maker are you, has revealed that I am one of the world's Forrest Gumps – to sum up this means that I am passive but it works for me.

Software-Defined Networking: A Perspective from within a Service Provider Environment
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has been one of the major buzz words of the networking industry for the past couple of years. And yet, no clear definition of what SDN actually covers has been broadly admitted so far. This document aims to clarify the SDN landscape by providing a perspective on requirements, issues, and other considerations about SDN, as seen from within a service provider environment.
It is not meant to endlessly discuss what SDN truly means but rather to suggest a functional taxonomy of the techniques that can be used under an SDN umbrella and to elaborate on the various pending issues the combined activation of such techniques inevitably raises. As such, a definition of SDN is only mentioned for the sake of clarification.

Gone abit nutty this summer sale. Think I had broken the bank within 2 days. The funniest thing was my shopping pattern must be rather pathetic usually because the credit card bank called my mobile immediately after my 4th shop. They wanted to check if it was really me racking up the bill within an hour.
The shopping part was not the funny bit. The hilarious bit was me shopping and being "hit on" by the sales guy. This is like what? The third time it has happened in HK. Happened on average of once a year here in HK.
To be honest, it's kinda surreal and almost unthinkable. Guess I have to thank my parents for good "young looking" genes I suppose...lol!! And in case u are thinking I am mistaking the friendly sales service today, then I dont suppose every sales guy will insist on helping u carry the shopping bag, walk you to the main door, walk u to outside the shop and ask you for your mobile huh...at that point, I burst out laughing. It was super flattering considering that he was quite a good looking chap and no, I am not saying this for my own benefit. Frankly, if I were 10years younger and I was single, I would defintely date him! But for now, Hope I didnt hurt his feelings. Haha!
The previous time, the other sales guy passed me his mobile on his name card to me and asked me to call him instead. Since then, I didnt even dare to buy my shoes from that store anymore!!!
Guess I better stop having a smiley face when I am shopping or else sooner or later, I will end up with no more places to shop!!!!

I have finally bought my first pair of Converse shoe!
and at half price too!!!
Been eyeing them for ages
Everyone is wearing them now although it's quite pricey
but I really like the style
so I keep a look out for a good bargain during sales
During Christmas there was a buy one get the second pair for half price
and in the beginning of the year they had 2 for $ 150
but nothing tops this!
all thanks to Holly and her eye for good bargains =)
According to her
"cause its half year everything is half price"
I was quite worried that they won't have my size
since normally during sales they run out of the common sizes
but all was well
I chose Chuck Taylor All Star Lo
the low cut style as it is more versatile
but on the rack there was only white lo cuts and black hi tops
so I was quite torn
as white might get dirty easily
and I personally prefer black
but luck was on my side
as they had more stock in the store room
so I came out one happy girl
from Paul's warehouse
Go ahead and be envious of my new shoe =P

Contrary to press scare stories about environmental extremists threatening to cause mass disruption to Europe's busiest airport on a weekend in August, the 1,500 people deposited on an overgrown "sports field" adjacent to Heathrow's northern runway had united to draw attention to government's continued hypocrisy on the issues surrounding climate change and it's reluctance to impose restrictions on the aviation industry.
While mainstream politicians pay lip service to tackling CO2 emissions, people from all walks of life, including myself, arrived at the climate camp to register their disgust, to meet with like-minded individuals and talk with local people whose lifelong homes were to be destroyed by the planned third runway that would double the amount of already suffocating air traffic overhead.
Police presence was ridiculously overwhelming; officers outnumbered climate campers two to one and BAA – the company which owns and runs Heathrow – roped in extra security staff, fearful of the day of mass protest planned for Sunday 21st August.
Following the embarrassing failure of BAA to secure a wide-ranging injunction to stop the camp taking place, police were authorised to invoke terror laws to stop and search, detain without charge and film campers from the ground and by helicopter above.
If the aim was to discredit eco-protestors as a bunch of cranks and anarchists it was spectacularly unsuccessful, with mainstream media giving the event acres of coverage denied to much larger recent protests such as the 100,000 strong London march against renewing the Trident nuclear "defence" system. Discussions on the issues surrounding climate change were once again on the front page of national newspapers as well as being the lead story on evening news bulletins.
Villagers from nearby Sipson, which would be levelled to make room for the new runway, visited the camp throughout the week to show their appreciation and support bringing fresh local produce, homemade samosas and flasks of coffee.
Local residents joined men, women and children from the camp on a march towards Harmondsworth, which will also be decimated by Heathrow's planned expansion until we were circled by a ring of police in riot vans determined not to let us reach our destination – a rally in a garden centre at which local MP John McDonnell was due to speak. Armed with drums, guitars and an accordion we kept our spirits up by singing for over an hour.
A group of activists set up camp overnight on the tarmac outside BAA's offices and Monday morning workers were told to go home by bosses who were unable to get through the blockade. Recruiters scoured the main camp in the early hours of the morning for reinforcements and some of those who had been woken up by the first roar of jet engines at 5a.m. were compelled to join in.
The camp communications tent offered text message updates on the movement of police and protesters, working overtime to inform us that two teenage girls had climbed to the roof of BAA's offices and unfurled a banner saying "Make Planes History", or that a group of people had chained themselves to the cargo terminal used for holding foods imported by UK supermarkets. Hilariously, one message told how a riderless police horse had been sighted circling a field next to the camp, pursued breathlessly by a horseless police officer.
During the week leading up to the day of action such luminaries as Mark Lynas and George Monbiot delivered lectures and workshops on the worsening climate crisis and the need to build a society less reliant on the unstable petrocarbon-economy. Comedian Rob Newman, who performed on Saturday evening, deemed the event "an historic occasion" and the rapturous applause gained by his comments showed we were determined to take our experiences away and continue to build local campaigns and make our voices heard.
Cardiff RESPECT calls for
* Unilateral reduction of CO2 emissions in the UK of 90% by 2030, with similar reductions in other developed countries. We demand that the Welsh Assembly set binding annual targets to cut emissions. We call for an international treaty that goes way beyond Kyoto to cap global carbon emissions.
* International rationing of air-travel. Halt airport expansion, restrict binge flying. Nationalise the airlines. We oppose the expansion of Cardiff Airport and opening of an Anglesey/Cardiff air-route. End the £9 billion tax break to the aviation industry and spend the money on more sustainable forms of public transport.
* Stop car-mageddon: Free, or cheap, integrated publicly owned transport systems. End New Labour's road building programme and spend the £30 billion on public transport. Nationalisation of rail, road freight and bus companies.
* Cancel all third-world debt. There is no point calling on impoverished countries to tackle climate change if they are saddled with debt.
* Massive investment in renewable energy. Keep Wales nuclear free. We oppose the building of new nuclear power plants in Wales supported by the leader's of both New Labour and Plaid Cymru.
*End the productivist throwaway society: production for use not profit.
* Sustainable town planning: redesigned cities to eliminate unnecessary journeys and conserve energy.
* All new buildings to be zero-carbon; provide insulation, energy conservation etc. to all homes to make them energy efficient and therefore lower fuel bills for working class people. We call for sustanable council housing in Wales
.* Localised food production and opposition to "Supermarket Britain".
* No GM crops for food or fuel.
* No to incinerators. High quality facilities to maximise recycling. The aim should be the full recycling of waste. We oppose the LibDems plans for a Cardiff incinerator. In Neath, Respect activists launched the Crymlyn Burrows Stop the Incinerator Campaign
.* End the destruction of the rainforests.
* Defend the rights of climate change refugees and migrants. Protect those hit by drought, desertification, floods, crop failure and extreme weather conditions.
* Renationalise water and protect water reserves. End the pollution of the rivers and water ways.

Iaso Tea Reviews Q1: What Is Iaso Tea?
Iaso Tea It is essentially an herbal tea that contains 9 ingredients that work in synergy with each other to help cleanse your digestive tract. By drinking the tea twice every day, your body and digestive system can rebalance itself, by ridding itself of toxins, fats, parasites, and even worms. Weight loss, according to TLC, is the inevitable result of doing this, because it means your digestive tract is able to absorb proper nutrients.
Iaso Tea Reviews Q2: What Is in the Tea?
Iaso Tea is often referred to as a 'miracle tea' that enables people to lose five pounds in just five days. It does this through nine different ingredients, which are:
- Persimmon leaves, which are a natural cleanser that have been used in Chinese medicine for millennia. They are known to contain flavonoids, vitamin C, choline carotenoids, amino acids, rutin and tannins.
- Marsh mallow, or Althaea officinalis, which is an anti-inflammatory that helps to improve overall health and lowers the risk of diseases.
- Malva leaves, or Malva verticillata, which work in the same was as the marsh mallow.
- Holy thistle, which was used in Europe during the Middle Ages to try and fight the plague. Today, scientists know that it cleanses the system by working as a diuretic.
- Papaya leaves. These leaves have been part of ancient Polynesian medicine for thousands of years to improve the skin. It is also a diuretic.
- Chamomile, which has been used to fight stomach cramps in many ancient cultures. Scientists have also discovered that it works to fight anxiety.
- Ginger, which reduces stomach cramps and aids digestion. It also gives the tea a nice spicy edge.
- Myrrh, which can kill various bacteria by working as an antiseptic. It is often used in dental offices as a rinse to get rid of oral bacteria.
- Blessed thistle, which is a type of holy thistle and hence has the same benefits.

Gift idea for Father's Day
June 23 celebrates its fathers. In addition to the wishes of the day, give them a small but original gift. Such a practical case with colored print. We suggest 5 of the most interesting case collections from which you can choose a gift for your dad.
In the last post we showed you how to design a case with your own imprint on Father's Day. Not everyone has the time and the idea to create a case and prefer to use ready-made solutions. This time we have chosen for you some of the most interesting cases with masculine patterns. Perhaps there will be among them those who will like Daddy start!
With sports discipline
Is there a man who does not like sports? Of course he does not necessarily have to actively cultivate it, he is just an avid fan. A sports printable case can be a great gift idea. In this category you will find a wide selection of prints on the case that refer to sports. In addition to the most popular football, there are also disciplines such as cycling, tennis, volleyball, basketball or hockey.
Mechanics, cars and motors
Another popular field of interest. Maybe your dad is the proverbial "handyman"? Or maybe he likes to sit in a garage and hang out with his car or motorcycle on weekends? The motorcycle will certainly make him happy.
For the music lover
The military style and the timeless moro pattern fit many men, and the case with such an imprint will be an interesting and intriguing addition to the male style. In the collection of moro you will find many options and color variants of this military design. Perhaps you will fit your father's dressing room.
With beard
Recently there is a fashion for bearding. Why not put it on the phone case? In our collection you will find some fun prints with beard in the lead role. Seriously and a bit winked. A trendy and fun pattern that fits men of all ages.

Did you catch any athlete's back side on the Olympics? Sean sure did, Charley and Matt listen in shock!
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
All cards it was going oh where you get out so happy Monday morning to you and so glad to whether it's the Olympics are drawn. And the indecency complaints are just roll in and at that as CC why now. Release of their complaints after the Olympics and have learned man next ambulance Cabrera got to watch it yeah we missed so many things. It's to see one lady in New York said last night's NBC Olympic coverage included video of naked women which was inappropriate for the wider audience I don't know if that really have there's no video of naked women to explore with that I'm I've got to believe it was beach volleyball that's pretty close to closes there was a synchronized swimming mishap though. But I mean you know that's a whole thing right now right. You know we can dream as a slip. MBC's coverage of the Olympic opening ceremony displayed numerous examples of peoples but talks for the viewing pleasure of my children. And seems highly inappropriate for recorded program meant to be watched by a general audience don't they have Botox once again there's going to be some beach volleyball talked everybody's got it's no real worry forms there I thought the Olympic tryouts last night would provide us the opportunity as a family to enjoy something together track and field of events are nothing short of minor pornography. Since should be rated RNC seventeen. Closing about clothing that is so tight exposing mail. Items is not what I had in mind. Now as people get out of your caves and less camera time and slow motion of these runners flip flop in their way across the critics. You what you miss seeing how long till the Olympics is no way to know I don't know. Oh.

Recipe: Baked Pears With Honey Whipped Cream
One of our favorite events every summer is The Sylvia Center's Farm-to-Table dinner, hosted by Great Performances in the fields of Katchkie Farm in Kinderhook, N.Y. The mission of The Sylvia Center is to inspire young people and their families to eat well through hands-on learning experiences on the farm and in the kitchen. Jenn So, director of programs at The Sylvia Center, offers us recipes the teenagers are learning to make.
This elegant and simple Baked Pear with Honey Whipped Cream recipe is an amazing last minute addition to any meal or dinner party. The pears become soft and caramelized when baked, and the natural sweetness from the fruit and honey are a perfect combination. You can substitute olive oil instead of butter, or yogurt instead of whipped cream for a healthy (yet equally as delicious) version. We made these with our teen students last week and even those who had declared that they hated pears were eager for seconds!
Baked Pears with Honey Whipped Cream
Serves 12 (1/2 pear per person)
6 Bosc pears, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cored
4 tablespoons of salted butter, melted
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
12 fresh mint leaves, minced finely
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup of honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Brush the pears with butter and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Place pears cut-side down on the baking sheet.
3. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the pears are caramelized and tender. Transfer the pears onto a platter, cut-side up, and allow them to cool until warm.
4. Meanwhile, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks. Gently fold in vanilla extract and honey.
5. Fill each pear with a spoonful of the whipped cream and sprinkle with mint.

|John Dickerson
According to The Hill, Dickerson made the comments during an interview with Salem Radio talk host Hugh Hewitt. Click Here for Audio.
He analyzed the president's repeated attacks on the press during a Thursday press conference, which included Trump declaring the American people don't trust the media the way it used to.
"That one comment, 'they don't trust you anymore,' is a summation of where we are in America," Hewitt observed. "Because I really do think Manhattan-Beltway elites have lost the country. They've lost it. There's just no confidence."
"Yes, it's true, and it's not because of anything obviously Donald Trump did," Dickerson concurred. "The press did all that good work ruining its reputation on its own, and we can have a long conversation about what created that."
Dickerson, who took over as "Face the Nation" moderator in 2015, compared press coverage of Trump to meteorologists who overhype every storm in their forecast.
Dickerson went on to say that the press had overhyped many little stories about Trump, leading to many other reports not being viewed with much credibility by the American people. The CBS host also said that the media must represent the American people to the president when asking questions.
A recent poll by Emerson College found that more people in the U.S. trust Trump than the media.
On Friday, President Trump Tweeted:

I know it will be fine once i get started, but until then i just have to fret about the whole thing, and keep crafting to keep my mind off it all!
Today's page is one I made for a challenge on the Do Crafts site, using a sketch. I chose this picture of Kevin taken last week with a lovely cake he baked for me. The stash is sooooooo old i can't even remember buying it but it needed using so here it is on a LO (K&Co Neopolitan). As he is wearing a pink shirt, and the cake is pink i have used this girly colour on the page, but grunged it up a bit to try and make it more masculine. The title is stamped using Autumn Leaves alphabet and Studio g (the smaller letters.) As ever the Martha Stewart punches have an outing, I added Beadazzles to the stamped heart (Unity) and I added an eyelet by WRMK.
The blingy swirls i made myself, as i love them and they are a little pricey I used a set of Autumn Leaves swirl stamps, stamped in a light pink ink, added dots of glue using a glue pen, and then added the gems (by Anitas... very low price for a mass of them in 2 sizes) Am quite pleased how these turned out... crafting on a budget makes the LOs that bit more personal.

("By the way…" is a new kind of posts which might or might be not referring to Burning Opera, but it's always about RPGs. I hope you'll enjoy it too!)
Introduction: this are only personal opinions and ideas. You can agree to disagree and such. I'm up for constructive constructive criticism, not trolling or offense. Be kind, please.
Body language in RPGs
Today I want to talk about body language in table-top RPG. What's body language? What's mimic? It's expressing concepts, things, or emotions without using speech or any verbal medium. Moving, acting, interacting, mimicking, keeping in contact: these are all body languages.
Body language is (in my opinion) mostly worth to be put in game rules because of straightforwardness and expressiveness.
- straightforwardness: it's what happens when you avoid a lot of useless informations by going straight to the point. When we have to set up a situation during a game session, we tend to start describing the ambient, the player's status, the PNGs and so on. Still, if we try to avoid all that chatting and use different methods of expression we would be able to stick the players right in their common imaginary space. How does it work? By telegraphing your informations.
"Telegraphing is the name for all techniques for distributing and coordinating information between participants in a role-playing game in order to keep the interpretations of the shared fiction consistent. Needless to say, there are many, many different ways of doing this, but as we dabble in Jeepform, we focus on techniques that preserve the flow, and tries to involve meta information or meta discussions as little as possible."
There's a good example of this in the Jeepform's Dictionary, which tell exactly this:
A situation where avoiding the second of meta information is better is when you want to give flowers to your date, and the only available physical prop is a pen; hand the pen over while saying "I wanted to give you red roses, but they only had white". Interestingly, the pen can be handed over, smelled, be put in a cup and broken, just like a real rose.
This simple yet amazing way of interacting, leads players right in the situation. Many Jeep games do use this kind of tools, starting from the Upgrade! with great success.
- expressiveness: when you can convey emotions from one player to another, from character to player and vice versa.
"Bleed is experienced by a player when her thoughts and feelings are influenced by those of her character, or vice versa. With increasing bleed, the border between player and character becomes more and more transparent. It makes sense to think of the degree of bleed as a measure of how separated different levels of play (actual/inner/meta) are." -by the Dictionary of Jeepform
"You can't escape empathy!" -by Jason Morningstar's "Tabletop Design Principles"
It's easy when you keep in eye and physical contact to convey emotion with other people. There's something magical happening when we sit around a table or we stand in the same place that happens, a chemistry.
Why don't we use it, then? Because sometimes this is considered a limit of the players or game itself, keeping us closed in ourselves, interacting passively through the "description->action" flow of events. Breaking up these implicit rules, especially in games which are not so crunchy or combat-oriented would really give a new 'taste' to the game. With Burning Opera for example, the presence of the players in the same physical space is fundamental: I tried playing via web-cam hangout, but there was no magic in it. We didn't felt each other close enough to get in each other shoes.
Conclusion: I don't know what you think but, I'd include body language and mimic in my games (I've already did it, actually) due to just these two points. Why don't you try, too?

2008 Edgies - Worst Crime against Television
In this category I'm going to nominate the worst events to occur this year in the land of televisual entertainment. I will be excluding reality/voting TV shows from being nominated as if I did they'd just win. Instead I'm going to focus on crafted fiction.
1. The Writers Guild Strike
The criminal part of this is not the Writers striking, but the fact that they had to strike in the first place. It shortened so many shows, killed off others and delayed more. The viewers had to pay for the executives idiocy. It was an all round suck fest that should never have had to happen.
2. USA Characters Welcome (aka NBC) cancelling The 4400 and The Dead Zone.
While it sucked that two excellent shows got cancelled, the timing was the thing that really stank like fetid rats droppings. Both shows got canned after their season had finished, both shows had set up some really exciting cliff hanger events. Both shows could have wrapped up their story if they'd had another season. Instead they get dropped after filming has wrapped and leave the viewers left hanging from another John Doe... I straight up hate NBC for this. So much so that I'm not going to be supporting them by purchasing Burn Notice on DVD when it's released.
3. Heroes Season 2
Yeah, that's right. I'm putting it up here as one of the worst crimes against TV this year. What were they thinking? Even Tim Kring stepped up and apologised for being involved in such a pile of stink. Don't get me wrong, it had its good points (Kirsten Bell, Sylar, Adam) but it was a real let down after
4. Mandy Patkin walking out on Criminal Minds
Damn it Mandy, you really try my patience. What is it about successfull shows that make you walk out on them? 'Dead Like Me' Mandy, If you don't get your ass back into that show somehow I'm never going to forgive you for walking out on Criminal Minds and making it lame.
5. Jericho
It got canned again. This sucks, just when I'm planning to get into the series again it gets nailed. I would write more, but I don't want to go watching Jericho knowing that it doesn't end properly.
6. Fox Network
Fox, you just suck. Enough said.

"The media was celebrating this week about the groundbreaking discovery that gravitational waves are real and not just a theory formed by Einstein in the early 1900's.
30 years ago, Bob Lazar told the press that the propulsion systems he worked on used gravitational waves. It gets more interesting when you realize that he actually insisted they were the correct theory. And also this is the 2nd theory that came true from him after the discovery of Element 115. This one is more amazing though because in some ways you could say Element 115 was inevitable…"Main pagelink
Really Tango?
From an embedded link:
Bob Lazar was given a rare privilege as a physicists chosen examine and back-engineer the advanced spacecraft lent to the establishment. The spacecraft in question were not captured or recovered at crash sites as the public was lead to believe, but loaned as a gift to secure future favors in return for a perceived technological edge. The Orions promised technological edge of radar invisibility and total antigravity propulsion, but the new projects fell far short of expectations.
We do have an Utter Drivel board you know.
Above Top Secret, Armand? From Rational Wiki:
"Above Top Secret is the internet's beehive for all things conspiracy, UFO, paranormal and just about anything crank-related."
And this about the "distinguished" Mr. Lazar:
"Robert Lazar (1959-) is a double-edged sword of UFO cranks. On the one hand, he's a pathological liar with a long laundry list of fantasies about working at Area 51. On the other hand, he runs United Nuclear, one of the very few chemical supply houses still supplying as many unrestricted chemicals as possible to amateur chemists. Make of him what you will, but if you need fifty feet of magnesium ribbon, a neodymium magnet the size of a brick (for, I don't know, wiping credit cards from ten feet away?), or a jar of heavy water, he's your best source.
Most people in the UFO community think Lazar's even too crazy for them."
Armand, you really know how to pick' em… (And I wish you'd stop…)
Keep 'em coming, Armand!
Please… never a lack of humor here!… (smile)
Keep them coming Armand. If they don't like what your posting, they don't have to click on it or read it. lol
Funny thing about ole Bob, he seems to know stuff that he shouldn't, if he was a crack pot.
Element 115. Bob talked about it before it was even identified. Science community laughed at him, until it was ID'ed.
His claim of working at Area 51 & S7. Three individuals who worked there and are retired asked Bob simple questions that were not classified about the facility to see if he was lying.Example of some of the questions, 1. How did employees go about their lunch breaks and pay for their food? 2. What did the lunch room look like?3. How did employees get back and forth to work? 4. How were employees paid since they worked for a classified project? 5. How did employees go through security when arriving at work?
Ole Bob Lazar answered all of their non-classified questions correctly. The three employees said if Bob hadn't ever worked there like the government claims. Then he must know someone who has and they told him some details.
Element 115. Bob talked about it before it was even identified. Science community laughed at him, until it was ID'ed.
And they still laugh at him, since his fruitcake predictions were wildly off the mark. Lazar is a bog standard, pseudo scientific nut job. And if you want to give him credibility, well, that's your problem, not mine…
If they don't like what your posting, they don't have to click on it or read it. lol
You clearly miss the point. Bring on the Alien Autopsy videos! That's Science!
Funny thing about ole Bob, he seems to know stuff that he shouldn't, if he was a crack pot.
So say the other crack pots.
They laugh at him because of his UFO linking to Moscovium.
By the way these ever increasingly heavy metal are all man made. Big deal. I predict an Element 120. There, I'm a genius. Oh dear, it's already been named…..Unbinilium.
Unsupported hearsay is so convincing.
Come on, if you honestly think these artificial elements have magical anti-gravity powers or are used for fuel for spaceships, then go look them up. For starters look up their half lives.
I bid 130 quatloos!
Glad you enjoyed it with humor boys!. (smile)
Psuedo, crackpot, woo-woo and BS science topics don't belong on a science board any more than topics on the Peloponnesian War belong on the Napoleonic board. Even if it is just a toy soldier site.
And challenging unsupported nonsensical announcements is partly what science is about.
Bowman says its so, "BS, woo-woo, crackpot, pseudo science" so that means it true!!! hahahahahaha
"artificial elements have magical anti-gravity powers"
What you are quoting is from what people talking about Bob Lazar say, not what Bob Lazar himself has claimed. When it comes to element 115, Bob only stated it was used as part of the power supply system. He's not ever claimed it had magical anti-gravity powers. Then the science community said B/S cause there was no such thing as 115. After it was manufactured, his critics now try to claim he said it made the ships fly with magic properties. Bob Lazar also said all the disc shaped craft he saw, he thought was advanced human made craft. It wasn't until after he saw the seats in one and how small they were. Compared that to UFO stories he had heard, made him wonder if they were alien craft. Bob Lazar in all of his interviews has said he has no proof they were alien craft, but he did believe some of them were after seeing the small seats. Humans in contact with aliens for 10,000 years. Again Bob Lazar actual statement was, the technologies reported to be alien tech. Then they must be 10,000 years more advanced than us to be able to travel here. Bob Lazar statement was he didn't know of anything we had to match that type of tech claimed by UFO witnesses.
Its also been proven Bob Lazar did work at Los Alamos Lab, even though the US government claimed he never had. Old Los Alamos Lab phone books were found in a storage shed owned by a former employee. From one of them dated during the time Bob claimed he worked there. He's listed in the phone book as working at Los Alamos. He was employed with a company (K/M)and was a contract employee at Los Alamos.
National Geographic did a documentary called Area 51 Declassified. They identified retired employees who worked at Area 51 and interviewed them on things declassified. Three of them confirmed Lazar answered the questions correctly. These employees are the ones who said either Bob worked there or had talked to someone who had. But since Bowman didn't know about this, that means its hearsay. hahahaha
Charlie 12. What specific predictions??? Bob Lazar said he worked there. Said what he worked on and how long he worked there. He said an Element 115 was used in part of the power supply. So what is it he's supposedly predicted???
"And challenging unsupported nonsensical announcements is partly what science is about."
So now Bowman is claiming to be a scientists??? Do you work at Los Alamos Lab??? lol
Bowman and Charlie 12.
I've found when people can't provide details, but have to use name calling and derogatory comments to support their claims. They are more full of B/S than the people they are talking about. hahahaha
Dr. Stuart Robins of Exposing Psudoastronomy podcast has a decent debunking/rebuttle in Episode 133. link
Short bullet points:
1) Bob claims to have an MS from MIT, MSs from MIT require a thesis, yet there is no thesis under Bob's name at MIT. Furthermore, he's not in any yearbook, photo, club, etc… nor does anybody remember him.
2) Bob "predicted" element 115. A highschooler could predict that element 115 would eventually be synthesized with a half-life mesured in at best seconds, at worst you'd need an atomic clock. That's too vague, approaching Sylvia Browne territory. Let's work this out. Say you start with 1kg of Moscovium and use it's best half life of 1 second. In twenty seconds, the sample is essentially gone. And the kicker is that the human race has synthesized much less than a kg of this stuff…
3) Just because Spiderman takes place in New York City, and New York City is a real place and there's probably a few Peter Parkers living in New York City, it doesn't follow that Spiderman/Peter Parker are real.
I'd rather shave with Occam's razor.
Cheers,Martin from Canada
I predicted Element 115, just because I wanted all the holes and gaps in the Periodic Table filled in. It took them long enough!So far, at least 100 ATOMS have been synthesized. Useful material, Moscovium. I would have thought you needed more than that to determine a melting point, but I've been out of the field since the Carter administration. . What do I know?link
Btw, the Wiki article also has links to the conspiracy theories surrounding Element 115.
I also wonder why people so dedicated to the Purity of Science feel compelled to do so on a site dedicated to toy soldiers. To paraphrase Bowman.
Martin. Bowman. None of us here on tmp have any effect on funding for Real Science. We have no influence. Why do you feel so compelled to stop us from believing in stupid stuff? As I told a Jehova's Witness one time, I'm the one in charge of saving my soul. Not you. I didn't convince him. So I guess you're going to keep on performing your self appointed duty to keep our young and pliable minds from believing stupid stuff. Good luck with that.
"So I guess you're going to keep on performing your self appointed duty to keep our young and pliable minds from believing stupid stuff. Good luck with that."
hahahaha, that is one of the best things I've read in awhile.
I also wonder why people so dedicated to the Purity of Science feel compelled to do so on a site dedicated to toy soldiers.
Because there is a Science board. And I'd like it to contain science topics. If there was no science board, which is fine by me, I'd still want Napoleonic topics on the Napoleonic board. Simple, John.
We have no influence.
Is that what you think we do here? I thought it was simple a discussion board.
Why do you feel so compelled to stop us from believing in stupid stuff?
I couldn't care less what you think. But if you put something on a discussion board, it will be discussed. That's how they work.
I've found when people can't provide details……
Says the guy who conflates hearsay with evidence. That's a lot of work putting lipstick on a pig, Ironwolf. I do admire your loyalty to Bob.
Then you should read better sources. Start by staying away from Woo-Woo sites like ATS, Godlike productions, Cryptomundo, Info Wars, Natural News, etc., etc.
Martin from Canada, Bowman, Charlie 12 many thanks for your intelligent and reasoned response. It's nice to know there is still some intelligent thought and respect for science here as opposed to an anti intellectual rant. Please see the attacks on Hawkins physical condition which personality I found incredibly insulting. As this was posted here on a science board rather then utter drivel suggests it was meant to be taken seriously.
I can comprehend the annoyance of opening a topic board and finding crap to do with the topic. If I open "Medieval Discussion", I don't want scifi or "Ultra Modern" discussions on there! I can allow some bleed over, like medieval fantasy role-play or campaigning: I do this myself. Zombies are "medieval" so some bleed over with other zombie "periods" is permissible. But not totally non topic discussions.
However, pseudo topics are, by definition, part of the "real" topic. Science has always attracted the fakers to the party. So Bowman, Charlie, et al. the "Defenders of the Science Board" just have to suck it up and keep defending the real thing. To try and ban it from existence is pointless…………..
If I open "Medieval Discussion", I don't want scifi or "Ultra Modern" discussions on there!
Now imagine someone comes on the board and says that the Seljuks defeated the Byzantines at Manzikert, because they had alien technology from a saucer that crashed in Anatolia. How would you respond?
But what if that's what really happened? :)
But what if that's what really happened?
Using high tech UFO technology in the year 1071? Then we should expect the Seljuks to have taken over the world and we'd now be typing in Turkish or Farsi to each other.
I would ask for more information. Then ignore him. If it got to be a plague of non medieval postings, I'd complain to Bill.
Really? You wouldn't just blurt out, "That's ridiculous!"?
Sorry - only verified members can post on the forums.

|Charleston Hotel 1901
In 1979 an Atlanta magazine described a Charleston unknown to us today. At that time, they wrote an article of an unflattering truth about Charleston's present ever-popular Historic District. It stated, "Downtown Charleston, in many ways, epitomizes the decaying American city." "We were dying," said a store owner on King Street by the name of Mariana Hay. "It was just a big blight. Downtown was really kind of a no-man's land." The new mayor of Charleston, Joe Riley, agreed with these conclusions and likened the downtown area to a poisoned ecosystem. The demolition of the 120-year-old Charleston Hotel on Meeting Street epitomized the city's decay. Downtown commerce was looking like the Ashley River in Summerville at low tide. Empty storefronts were common and pedestrian traffic was deficient for a thriving market. Property values on King Street headed south like today's Northerners.
|Charleston Place
Since my arrival in 2005, the growth has continued. At that time, there were only two bridges crossing the Cooper River with a view of the bay and skyline, one called the Silas Pearman Bridge and the other named the John P. Grace Memorial Bridge. They were two majestic icons that were feeling their age. I remember the first time I drove over the narrow bridges with both hands on the steering wheel accompanied by the uncomfortable feeling of possibly going over the edge. The old bridges eventually came down section by section and were replaced by the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. This year, March 31st, the new Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge will be covered with a sea of humanity in the 10k Cooper River Bridge Run starting at 8:00am. Taylor Hicks, Season 5 winner of American Idol, and his full band will perform on the Main Stage at the Finish Line.
