Sunday, 2 May 2010
Teledebating is always harder for the incumbent, especially when things are going badly (and none could deny that things are going BADLY). The prime minister faced a huge challenge which clearly he thought he could rise to. I will be charitable to him, just for once. I think that he believes that he knows how to fix the mess we are in and that he thought he could get his argument across and convince the peoples of Britain of his capabilities. I think that, as was shown in his encounter with Mrs Duffy, he just doesn't understand the peoples he is paid to lead. Prime time telly on a Thursday isn't about deep philosophical debate. It's about reality tv. If Mr Brown's decision to let these things happen was based on the fact that the public likes this sort of tv with a vote at the end of it, he didn't think the whole thing through.
In reality tv we vote for the good looking one, the one from our home country, the one with the nicest dress, the biggest boobs, the body we wish we had. We are not used to substance; froth is fine....
I didn't think it would work. I thought that the figures would be dismal. Ninety minutes of politics? ... No thanks. I'm off to the pub. But I was spectacularly wrong.
Millions have watched. The course of the election has been changed. People may be concerned about local matters; they may be swayed by windmills, roads, schools, and hospitals locally, but the opinion polls have been all about who performed best in the debate. In many cases not the substance, but the stance, the way they looked into the camera, their wrinkles (Brown), their shiny forehead (Cameron) their easy manner (Clegg). That's what swayed people used to judging reality tv shows.
But they conveniently forgot some stuff. They based it on the American presidential debates. Who do you want as your president? But from Kentucky to New York City, California to Idaho, everyone in the US has a vote for the president.
I can't vote for any of these men.
And the exclusion of UKIP, Greens, Socialists, Nationalists, the Irish parties of all shades, and sundry others has distorted the game. People are voting on what they saw on the telly; they didn't see any of these parties so they won't vote for them. That has hit what little democracy we have in the UK. The Liberals were nowhere till the debates propelled them to first or second, depending on which opinion poll you believe. Anyone who has been left out of this reality tv show has been left out of the election.
It would have been difficult, but not impossible, to arrange leadership debates including all parties. They do it in Canada, and they seem to do it well despite having all manner of parties including those representing first nation Canadians as well as French and English-speaking immigrants. Needless to say that takes work, effort and ingenuity. So we just had the big two and put in Nick Clegg as a sop to everyone else, and the producers got on with ticking the health and safety list.
The SNP will probably suffer. Well, so be it. You can't cry over spilt milk. We will never be able to stop these debates in the future, but what we must do is sort out a way of making them more representative. And, we can make it work for the SNP.
In the Scottish General Election we should have STV and BBC Scotland debates on the smaller number of matters that concern our government. An hour and a half of questions with Annabel, Alex, Tavish, Patrick, Iain and whoever leads the other parties currently unrepresented in the Scottish parliament....... seems like a plan, yeah?

Thing is, I don't feel the debates themselves actually changed the core support for the parties and whilst Clegg got a boost from the first debate it fell apart when people studied what he actually stood for.ReplyDelete
Over all though if we must have them, then yes all parties standing for Westminster should get a look in.
- AnonymousMay 02, 2010 1:51 pm
Well QM, although some polls show that the Tories are pulling ahead, the Liberals have never slipped back to the 19, 20, 21% they were before the polls, and of course much of what they stand for is what Dave says the Tories stand for. Of course, that doesn't mean it IS what the Tories stand for. What they say before and after the election, particularly this one, are two very different things, but in fairness that goes for all of them. Labour started around 33 and has dropped. I haven't seen a poll that has them above 28.ReplyDelete
I agree that we have to have some way of doing debates that will reflect all parties. I appreciate that it will be difficult. But we have people in government to whom we pay handsome salaries. I'm sure that if someone was paying me over £150,000 a year, I'd be able to get together a group of minds on a committee that could find a reasonably fair way of doing things.
We have to start with the premise that it will not be totally fair, but it needs to be a bloody site fairer than the assumption that there are 3 parties. It is not a prime ministerial debate. Most of the population can't vote for the prime minister. It should be party leaders (not the prettiest person in the party). They are best placed to make on the spot decisions about how things would be if they had some share of the power.
How they work out what to do about the small, peripheral, and seemingly largely unimportant Celtic countries may be one of the big problems. No one in England wants to be bothered with the Northern Ireland education debate; no one in Wales cares about Scottish justice and no one in Scotland cares about council funding in England. Perhaps we should ask Canadians or Australians how they do it.
But no, as usual we asked the Americans. Never mind that they have an entirely different system. Doesn't matter. Whatever they do must slavishly follow.
They will be hard pressed to deny the SNP the spotlight in a years time when the important elections for Scotland are on. Can't see Tavish recreating the Lib Dem bounce somehow!ReplyDelete
Oh Munguin, ye're makin' me laugh. The Tavish bounce. Ah'm like you, ah cannae see it.ReplyDelete
Oan the subject o' the debates, haein' watched aw three, apairt fi when ah nodded off, they didnae really shed ony light where there wis dark afore.
Auld Mr Broon is nae Charlie Chester, he should gie up tellin' jokes, he disnae have the face fer them. An' ah ken he wis tryin' tae make the best o' a bad job, bein' aw serious an' Prime Meenisterial, but it jist came across like he wis the elder fae the kirk, gettin' oan tae ye fer no trimmin' yer hedge. Wee Dave scared aw the bairns oan the first debate wi his shiny hair an' his shiny face, so he went aw cuddly fer the next twa. Mibbe it wis jist me, but ah thocht his voice went aw posh by the third yin, mibbe he wis jist bein' hissel. Young Nick oan the other hand didnae have tae dae mair than show up. The LibDem bounce wis jist folk suddenly realisin' they didnae have tae vote blue or red, somethin' we're kind o' used tae up here. Sae long as he didnae wet hissel oan stage he wis awright.
Ah'm probably in the minority when ah say ah hope they dinnae happen again, they werenae refreshin' they werenae enlightenin', an' they damn sure werenae funny.
I have to agree with Sophie here, the Tavish bounce- yeh, I'll believe it when I see it honestly.ReplyDelete
I hardly think that the LibDems are "going back to their constituencies and preparing for government" so they can make as many election promises as they like and not have to follow them up.ReplyDelete
Even if they were in a coalition government they may get a couple of minister but they would probably achieve as much as the LibDems in the Scottish parliament achieved when they partnered Labour.
At the time of the Iraq invasion - which they opposed - they were quite happy to stay in partnership with Labour who were involved in initiating the invasion.
They could have struck a telling blow if they'd said at the time "We are not supporting you because of the invasion" and caused a crisis for Scottish labour which would not have gone un-noticed by the electorate who opposed the invasion.
Of course they would have lost their ministerial Mondeos and perquisites were probably more important than principles.
The LibDems will struggle to hold on to Berwickshire Roxbrugh and Selkirk in the borders and they will do well to hold onto Argyll & Bute too...as for gains? Nah, sorry- I will say it here and now, the LibDems will struggle to hold onto their 11 Scots MPs.ReplyDelete
Tavish? No one I bet even knows him, and if they have heard of him they probs refer to him as the smarmy one.

Well Sophia, I didn't watch any of them so I can comment from a position of relative ignorance...as, one may say, I do on many things....but I think that they were wrong. And they have raken away some of the little democracy we have... on the other hand, if they help, by making the Liberals known, to bring in some form of PR they will have helped increase democracy.ReplyDelete
I think it will be hard to stop then now. I think they are with us for life.....
No if we aw stop watchin' them they'll no.ReplyDelete
Mind, ye could say that aboot votin' fer Labour an' Tory. Folk'll jist no see sense, nae maitter how hard ye hit them.

You've hit the nail on the head Brownlie. Ministerial cars and perks are rather important...and they don't come around too often for Libs. Principles only cost a few bob at Tescos... you can easily get come more if you ditch your current ones.ReplyDelete
personally i see the Leaders debates as weakening of democracy you have the media and the Major(or those political parties favored by the media)partys conniving in who will speak and what will be discussed....
And you have the outcome of a even more powerful prime minister which most people seem to believe is not good for a parliamentary democracy.
Although it is more beneficial for Rubert Murdoch et al to be able to speak to one person
when they wish to present their demands.
I hate to say this, but I do tend to agree in part with Mr whatever here.ReplyDelete
Aren't we risking slipping into a presidential system without any of the safeguards? Do these TV debates get people to vote for the correct reasons?
I don't think so, all it does is boost the power of the conventional media [which is part of the establishment, not its watchdog].
sorry for putting you through that I'm sure it wont happen very often.
Lol, it surely won't!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 02, 2010 10:30 pm
Well, I agree with both of you. It's wrong and it shouldn't have happened, but the genie is out of the bottle guys and there's not a lot we can do about it.ReplyDelete
The press have wanted it forever Niko. Murdoch will be rubbing his wrinkly old hands together in glee, and , as you say, now that he has one it (or as good as) for Cameron, doubtless he will be on the phone directly to Downing Street starting next Friday morning. It wouldn't do if after a week the Sun and The Times, not to mention Sky Noise were saying in their editorials what a pile of pants the new government was.
We should be wanting a less powerful prime minister; one that our parliament, and the people that WE can vote for, be we Irish, Scottish, English or Welsh can hold to account.
Huh, fat chance.
- AnonymousMay 02, 2010 10:34 pm
I can't tell you how happy I am Dean, that you and Niko are singing from the same hymn sheet.ReplyDelete
Seriously it is a matter for concern.
I accenpt that in a constitutional monarchy, the prime minister may have some presidential powers, but it's going too far, and has done for too long. (It's the result of this much vaunted strong government that Labour and the Tories tell us is essential.
With it comes the power to ignore parliament, so that is what they do. Thatcher to a certain extent, Blair to such an unholy extent that they'd forgotten who he was on the door.
Much better was the Scottish debate, mibbe because it wisnae aboot electin' a president, but mair aboot the issues an' whaur the pairties staun. Ah'll admit, personalities count an' cannae be ignored, but this time ye got tae look past that, mair so than Broon Clegg an' Cameron let oan.ReplyDelete
It wis a recognisably Scottish audience, obviously dragged awa' fae their Sunday efternoon drinkin' sessions, an' gi'ed immigration a cheer tae warm yer bunions. Gled Welcomin' Caledonia!
Murphy got hissel a bit skewered oan his flip-flops, haein' tae take the "ah wis only follaein' orders" line, an' had tae shout "Ah'm tellin' oan you!" at Glen Campbell tae get him tae stop tormentin' him. Murphy must've kent this wis comin' an' ah dinnae think he took it oan as bravely as he should've.
If he had nothin' tae be ashamed o' that is.

I was out and missed it Sophia, but I guess I'll get it on the net later.ReplyDelete
Scots have a different attitude to immigration, perhaps because they haven't been swamped by it like the Enbglish have, pehaps because Scots are bright enough to realise that the demographics are telling us that if we don't import some younger people, or the middle classes have some kids soon, older ones will have to look after themselves (in every way) when they get on a bit, and perhaps because it's part of Scottish cluture to be warm and welcoming (as long as you've had your tea!)!
Aye, an' partly through a long history o' emigration, no aye voluntary, so we share an idea o' whit life is when ye're far fae yer origins. We're aw Jock Tamson's bairns an' aw that.ReplyDelete
Plus we've got lots o' braw hills, jist waitin' tae hae hooses built oan them.
The differen is however that even Thatcher showed a respect for convention in parliament, something that Blair frankly did not.
The loss of convention has been critical in the loss of parliamentary authority over the exective. This can change, but I will never support PR in Westminster unfortunately- it makes for poorer governance and places power in the hands of politicians to 'cut deals' in smokey rooms away from the public eye.
- AnonymousMay 03, 2010 12:13 am
Yes Sophia. Scots have so often been the ones who had to take themselves off to other parts to make a decent life for themselves, so maybe there's an inbuilt understanding about people who do just that. There's hardly a family who hasn't got family members or friends in the USA, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia ... or wherever.ReplyDelete
And almost all have better lives than we do here. And aye, it's not like we are short of space.
Personally I see the influx of people from different cultures as a wonderful opportunity to travel vicariously by befriending them, learning about their culture, language, ways of life. It's like a personalised travel programme. And I'm always proud to show them around Scotland too. I've got the most amazing friends from all over Europe, Africa, India, etc.
Without exception they have great manners, incredible hospitality and are marvellous company. I've got all manner of invitations for when I can afford the air fares.....
- AnonymousMay 03, 2010 12:38 am
Well Dean... we've argued over this for ever, and I don't think we are going to see eye to eye.ReplyDelete
But let me ask you, would you consider it a good idea to get rid of PR in Scotland? The Tories would be all but obliterated, and Labour would reign supreme for ever....!
I realise that what works for Holyrood is not necessarily what is best for Westminster. I did support devolution since dot, it was a Heathite policy which we should never have abandoned. That said, PR is not the best system to my mind, and when it comes down to it- I would rather have four Scottish Conservative MSPs, by FPTP in Holyrood than a legion of half hearted List members...it is about what is good for the nation and the people, not my political Party. Perhaps the LibDems would do well to learn this lesson?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 03, 2010 12:00 pm
I can't see the difference between Holyrood and Westminster Dean.ReplyDelete
After all, everything that is done in Holyrood for Scotland, is done in Westminster for England. By and large it is done better in Scotland.
If you only had four members in Scotland you would be a rump party, in a FPTP system unnoticed and disregarded. As it is, as you have often pointed out your leader has been able to wring concessions from the government and this has resulted, you say, in more police and better business conditions; thus benefiting us all.
Your own leader, a not inconsiderable politician in my opinion, and one I'd be happy to welcome to the SNP, would not be in parliament but for the PR system we operate.
In my opinion in a FPTP Scotland there would be a permanent Labour Government with small opposition parties from SNP, Tories and Liberals. Labour would constantly be in government, and even the staunchest Labour supporter, never mind a Tory could not think that that would be good for the country.
Imagine Iain Gray for ever.....

So Mattie's actual birthday was last Monday. I took him out to eat lunch at our favorite Chinese restaurant and to Game Stop to spend a gift card he got on Sunday. I brought Elijah home with me Sunday after the party, so he was here to help us celebrate.Here's a couple of LOs I've gotten done. I have one more I need to add some stitching to also:)
I went by HL and got some of the new stickers they got in; 7 Gypsies and some alpha stickers. Cool new stuff they got in:)
Not much else the rest of the week. I spent Saturday over at my mom's and we all made a little trip to Michael's. Didn't find much though.
Yesterday we took the kids to the movies. We went to go see Space Chimps...not too great. Our options were that or Journey to the Center of the Earth and the kids chose the other:( I went by M's at The Rim and found those paper storage units. They were on clearance for $15. The regular price on them was $35, so I think it was a good deal.
I had a coupon for 25% off your entire purchase, but the coupon was only good between 4-8pm. I was there earlier and there weren't too many of the units left so I didn't want to chance it and wait. I picked up four although I could easily fill up quite a few more;)
I got them put together and set up last night and I LOVE them:)...

When I was in Providence this summer, I developed a slight addiction to this frozen lemonade that they sell out of carts on the street. Del's. Oh God. It's fantastic. There are little chunks of lemon zest in its tart frozen goodness. Anyway, one of the Italian grocers on Federal Hill had a bucket of the mix for sale. So I bought it for home consumption. Its not as good as the stuff out of the cart, but, heck, its still good.
So the genesis of my Del's cocktail came from me talking to one of the cart guys in Providence. We were talking about which liquor would be the best add in to the Del's frozen lemonade. He tells me "It's rum, believe me, I've experimented." I had just a little bit of rum left in the bottle, so I believe it was meant to be.
Take one packet of Del's lemonade mix, add that to 2 cups of ice, whatever was left in the bottom of the rum bottle (picture taken after I put it in the blender), and a little less than a cup of water.
Add some cut up lemons and enjoy on an oddly hot fall day. This makes enough for two drinks.
For more information about Del's, check out their website at http://www.dels.com/

My nerves are shot
I've had 7 surgeries in 7 1/2 years; 6 of them in the past 2 1/2 years
Everything that is supposed to be simple is never simple for me
My family and friends like to find the jokes about it
Me, not so much
It makes me feel miserable; like a failure
Like it is somehow my fault that my body doesn't do what I want it to do
Here I am 11 days post op and still miserable
I don't want to call my doctor cause I'm afraid he'll make me feel like an idiot
Everything I have read online tells me I am not alone in being an adult with a long and painful recovery time but my doctor didn't seem to feel that way when I saw him earlier this week
I am almost out of pain medicine and don't know what I'll do once it is gone
I have tried using over the counter stuff but it doesn't touch the pain
I have lost weight (a plus to this situation) but how I am losing it isn't very fun. Water and applesauce has gotten very old
I don't want to talk to anybody
I don't want to go anywhere
At least my bowels are working (2 laxatives a day to help that)....God knows I don't need that on top of everything else
The kids are over it
Steven is over it
I want to scream; can't though...hurts too bad
I want to cry; can't though.....hurts too bad
I have a joint test scheduled for tomorrow at UT. I am scared. I am sure it is going to hurt and be uncomfortable. I am scared they will tell me the only way to help me is to operate. I can hear everyone now yammering on about Anne having another surgery.

The Seven Deadly Sins of Information Management, Part 2: Greed
In my last post, I discussed the impact of wrath on IM projects. Today's topic is the second of the deadly sins: greed.
Note that greed and sloth (to be discussed in a future post) are very different sins.
Now, let's start off by getting our terms straight. By greed, I'm talking about the need for certain employees, groups, and departments to hoard data that ought to be shared throughout the organization. These folks are keeping for themselves what others want and/or need. For instance, consider Steve, a mid-level employee at XYZ who keeps key sales or customer data in a spreadsheet or a standalone database.
Or consider ABC a company that implemented a new system that, for different reasons, was never populated with legacy data. Barbara in Payroll holds key payroll information and will not willingly provide it to Mark in Accounting.
To be sure, organizational greed is hardly confined to data. I've seen many employees over the years refuse to train other employees or lift a finger to help a new hire or perceived enemy. Maybe they refuse to meet with consultants hired by senior management to re-engineer a process.
Understanding the Nature of Greed
I could go on with examples but you get my drift. Almost always, greed emanates from some fundamental insecurity within the offending employee. What's more, at the risk of getting myself in a whole heap of trouble, I've found that more senior employees are more likely to be greedy. Now, this is a broad generalization and certainly does not apply across the board. I've seen exceptions to this general rule: young employees who wouldn't share information and near-retirement-aged folks more than happy to show others what they know.
As employees become less secure about their jobs and themselves, they naturally start to think about the future–their futures. It's just human nature. Many people understandably don't want to be looking for jobs today. (This feeling increases as we age, what with many familial and personal responsibilities.) We realize that the grass is not always greener. For some of us, this manifests itself in a tendency to attempt to protect our jobs, departments, budgets, fiefdoms, and headcounts–at least until the perceived threat diminishes.
But there's a critical and countervailing force at play for the greedy: Information wants to be free. As open-source software, open APIs, and open data sources continue to sprout, people are becoming less and less tolerant of employee bottlenecks. Those who refuse to play ball may be able to temporarily stall large-scale information management projects, but eventually, by hook or by crook, those damns always break.
Simon Says
I wish that I had a simple solution for resolving employee-related greed issues. I don't. Many tomes have been written about managing difficult employees. At a high level, organizations can use two well-worn tools: the carrot and the stick. Consider rewarding employees who share information and knowledge while concurrently punishing those who don't.
What say you?
Next up: sloth.

Thanks a lot Simon for this article of yours and as well said by you; a popular quote by O'Rourke according to BrainQuote says this "Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power."
(P. J. O'Rourke). To me, I agree with O'Rourke ascertaining to your submission and concluding that such employees are only filled with ill-thoughts. As a middle level manager, my immediate subordinates especially are victims of this (GREED), i put up several strategies to give them a platform for a little change but the responds aren't as fast as am expecting..

Before Commissioners: Joseph T. Kelliher, Chairman; Nora Mead Brownell, and Suedeen G. Kelly
In the matter of: ER02-2001-004, ER04-0292-000, ER04-0646-000, ER02-0388-000, ER03-0827-000, ER98-4301-000, ER02-1324-000, ER03-0182-000, ER03-0261-000, Electric Quarterly Reports, Bravo Energy Resources, LLC, Core Equities, Inc., HC Power Marketing, Maxim Energy Partners, LLC, Mountainview Power Company, Mt. Carmel Cogen, Inc., Phoenix Energy Associates, L.L.C., USP&G (Pennsylvania), Ltd.
1. Section 205 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824d (2000), and 18 CFR part 35 (2005), require, among other things, that all rates, terms and conditions of jurisdictional services be filed with the Commission. In Order No. 2001, which established revised public utility filing requirements for rates, terms and conditions of jurisdictional services, the Commission required public utilities, including power marketers, to file, among other things, Electric Quarterly Reports summarizing the contractual terms and conditions in their agreements for all jurisdictional services (including market-based power sales, cost-based power sales, and transmission service) and transaction information (including rates) for short-term and long-term power sales during the most recent calendar quarter.[1]
2. Commission staff review of the Electric Quarterly Report submittals has revealed that a number of public utilities that previously had been granted authority to sell power at market-based rates have failed to file Electric Quarterly Reports in 2005. Accordingly, this order notifies those public utilities that their market-based rate authorizations will be revoked unless they comply with the Commission's requirements.
3. In Order No. 2001, the Commission stated that,
[i]f a public utility fails to file a[n] Electric Quarterly Report (without an appropriate request for extension), or fails to report an agreement in a report, that public utility may forfeit its market-based rate authority and may be required to file a new application for market-based rate authority if it wishes to resume making sales at market-based rates.[2]
4. The Commission further stated that,
[o]nce this rule becomes effective, the requirement to comply with this rule will supersede the conditions in public utilities' market-based rate authorizations, and failure to comply with the requirements of this rule will subject public utilities to the same consequences they would face for not satisfying the conditions in their rate authorizations, including possible revocation of their authority to make wholesale power sales at market-based rates.[3]
5. Pursuant to these requirements, the Commission has revoked or withdrawn the market-based rate tariffs of several market-based rate sellers that failed to submit their Electric Quarterly Report.[4]
6. Commission staff review of the Electric Quarterly Report submittals has identified a number of public utilities that previously had been granted authority to sell power at market-based rates that have failed to file Electric Quarterly Reports. Commission staff has made a concerted effort to contact the non-filing utilities listed in the caption to remind them of their regulatory obligations. None of the public utilities listed in the caption of this order has met those obligations.[5]
7. Accordingly, this order notifies those public utilities that their market-based rate authorizations will be revoked unless they comply with the Commission's requirements within 15 days of the issuance of this order.
8. In addition, the above-captioned companies' failure to comply with their Electric Quarterly Report filing requirements provides a basis for the Commission to institute a proceeding under section 206 of the FPA, to determine whether these companies may continue to make wholesale power sales at market-based rates and whether any refunds would be appropriate. In cases where, as here, the Commission institutes a section 206 investigation on its own motion, section 206(b) of the FPA, as recently amended by section 1285 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005,[6] requires that the Commission establish a refund effective date that is no earlier than the date of publication of notice of its initiation of the investigation, but no later than five months subsequent to that date. Consistent with our general policy,[7] we will set the refund effective date as the date publication of notice of its initiation of the investigation.
9. In the event that any of the above-captioned market-based rate sellers have Start Printed Page 116already filed their required Electric Quarterly Reports in compliance with the Commission's requirements, its inclusion herein is inadvertent. Any such market-based rate seller is directed, within 15 days of the date of issuance of this order, to identify itself and provide details about its prior filings that establish that it complied with the Commission's Electric Quarterly Report filing requirements.
10. If any of the above-captioned market-based rate sellers does not wish to continue having market-based rate authority and does not foresee entering into any contracts to sell power at market-based rates, it may file a notice of cancellation with the Commission pursuant to section 205 of the FPA to cancel its market-based rate tariff and relieve it of its obligation to submit further Electric Quarterly Reports.
The Commission Orders
(A) Within 15 days of the date of issuance of this order, each public utility listed in the caption of this order shall file all delinquent Electric Quarterly Reports. If a public utility fails to make this filing, the Commission will revoke that public utility's authority to sell power at market-based rates and terminate its electric market-based rate tariff. Upon expiration of the filing deadline in this order, the Secretary shall promptly issue a notice, effective on the date of issuance, listing the public utilities whose tariffs have been revoked.
(B) Pursuant to the authority contained in and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission by section 402(a) of the Department of Energy Organization Act and by the Federal Power Act, particularly section 206 thereof, and pursuant to the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure and the regulations under the Federal Power Act (18 CFR Chapter I), the Commission hereby institutes a proceeding to determine whether the above-captioned companies may continue to make wholesale power sales at market-based rates and whether any refunds would be appropriate, as discussed in the body of this order.
(C) The Secretary is hereby directed to publish this order in the Federal Register.Start Signature
By the Commission.

Barclays Premier League: Man City vs Chelsea Main Highlights Video, Match Report, Goal Videos
Played at Venue: City of Manchester Stadium on Saturday, 5 December 2009
Premier League leaders Chelsea suffered their second defeat in Lancashire in the space of a costly four days following their 2-1 loss at resurgent Manchester City.
Man City vs Chelsea Match Report
Following their midweek Carling Cup exit at Blackburn Rovers, Chelsea saw their lead at the top of the Premier League cut to a slender two points as City reinforced their own bid for a top-four Champions League spot.
After a club-record run of seven successive league draws, City finally rediscovered their winning touch to record their first win in the league since late September.
And after an impressive display, City fans must be wondering how they failed to beat Fulham, Burnley and Hull in their last three home league fixtures.
City, who were without the injured Craig Bellamy and Stephen Ireland, received a let off moments before Chelsea took an eighth minute lead when keeper Shay Given denied Didier Drogba with a fine save.
The warning was not heeded as Chelsea went ahead with a goal which bordered on farce as Given pulled off super stops to foil Branislav Ivanovic and Nicolas Anelka, only for the second to cruelly ricochet off the back of Emmanuel Adebayor and into the net from a couple of yards.
City began to exert considerable pressure on the Chelsea goal and were unlucky when a header from Micah Richards was spectacularly cleared off the line by Ricardo Carvalho.
They were finally rewarded with a 37th minute leveller as they breached the Premier League's meanest defence.
And it was Adebayor who found the net at the right end with a close-range shot after a drive from Shaun Wright-Phillips deflected off Micah Richards and into his path.
City continued where they left off after the restart when Ivanovic made a goalline block to thwart the ever dangerous Adebayor, but it was not long before they took a 56th minute lead.
Carvalho was penalised for a foul on Wright-Phillips on the edge of the penalty area and Carlos Tevez bent the free-kick round the defensive wall and low to the left of keeper Petr Cech, who was initially wrong-footed by the delivery.
Chelsea were given the chance to draw level in the 82nd minute when substitute Nedum Onuoha tripped Drogba in the box, but Frank Lampard's spot kick was brilliantly saved by Given diving low to his left.
City received another escape late on when Michael Essien released Drogba who burst through on goal only to fire narrowly wide when pressurised by Joleon Lescott.
Manchester City:
Given, Richards (Onuoha 68), Toure, Lescott, Bridge (Kompany 76), Wright-Phillips, De Jong, Barry, Robinho (Zaba;eta 90), Tevez, Adebayor
Unused subs:
Taylor, Petrov, Johnson and Santa Cruz
Barry 62
Cech, Ivanovic, Carvalho (Belletti 63), Terry (Malouda 87), A. Cole, Essien, Lampard, Deco, Ballack (Mikel 63), Anelka and Drogba

It's the Oscars this Sunday. Cue a BBC article attempting to foretell which of the multitude of awards contenders will use their acceptance speech to extol their righteous political indignation upon the palatial ballroom filled with gobsmackingly over-privileged, inordinately wealthy celebrities and, by extension as it's on TV, the rest of us.
The sheer grandiosity and hubristic vanity surrounding events such as the Oscars and the Golden Globes is itself staggering. No other profession is as self-aggrandising and self-important as that of the movie actor. Imagine an equivalent awards ceremony for Médecins Sans Frontières workers or volunteers at Help the Homeless, and maybe the splendour of the ceremony itself and the reverence given to it by the global press would at least be justified, if still inappropriate and almost certainly not desired – let alone revelled in – by those it would venerate. But no, these are Hollywood actors; they pretend to be someone else in front of a camera and look good at the same time. And yes, some of them are indeed highly accomplished in this endeavour. But it's not enough for them to be paid the GDP of a small country for such a skill; no, the most successful of their number must also congregate not once but several times a year during 'awards season' for a protracted, inescapably highly publicised ritual of smug self-congratulation.
As if this wasn't all galling enough for the average viewer at home, the cosseted Hollywood elite will this year more than ever before be putting the world to rights by disseminating their profoundly important political opinions to us all. To say that these opinions are worth hearing – carefully nuanced; critically self-examining; the result of a studious observation of global political issues – would be… well, wrong. Invariably, celebs will offer trite platitudes on diversity, inclusion and equality. They will pontificate on the importance of standing up to oppression (ie, Trump) wherever it may be found (though never where it actually exists). The camera will pan to the audience; tears will be shed; warm, empathetic smiles will be proffered toward the speaker; rapturous applause will follow. And viewers at home will be rolling their eyes and switching over in droves.
Some of the awards contenders promise to be truly entertaining if they're to give an acceptance speech. Michael Shannon believes Trump is "going to destroy civilisation as we know it, and the earth," as though just destroying one of the two isn't bad enough. He's also previously opined that "if you're voting for Trump, it's time for the urn", which is a charming sentiment. In other words, if you use the democratic process to vote for a candidate I don't like, you should die. Natalie Portman thanked Trump for starting "a revolution" in a speech given at a Womens' March earlier in January. Emma Stone gushed that "the positive gift of creativity can transcend borders in divisive times". Unfortunately, with the exception of one IMAX cinema in Khobar, there are no cinemas in Saudi Arabia for La La Land's indubitably transcendent magic to take effect.
Such infantile political protestations are commonplace amongst the Hollywood 'elite'. Back in January we were subjected to a grimace-inducing display of self-righteousness and pomposity from Meryl Streep, whose jaw-dropping level of moral grandstanding was almost laughable in its earnestness. One suspects she was only half-joking when she opened by proclaiming that "all of us in this room belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now: Hollywood, foreigners, and the press". This being a room full of some of the most privileged and wealthy individuals in human history. Streep continued by listing a few of those individuals and their various "foreign" origins (New Jersey, Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Italy, Jerusalem) to highlight Hollywood's melting pot of inclusivity and to infer that this is gravely at threat under a Trump presidency. The most exotic 'foreigner' Streep could manage was the Ethiopian-born actress Ruth Negga, before having to qualify that she actually grew up in somewhat less exotic Ireland. Amusingly, Ryan Gosling looked as confused as we were when Streep made reference to his 'foregin' Canadian background. "So," Streep continued, "Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, and if you kick them all out you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts!" This was inevitably met with gushing applause. It is unclear which political figure in America has called for the deportation of Canadians, Italians and Brits, so it's difficult to pinpoint exactly what Streep seemed to be railing so righteously against, though it's doubtless Trump's 'Muslim ban'.
Streep fails to comprehend that the only reason a blustering simpleton like Trump has succeeded in winning the White House (and is thus able to enact reckless, ill-considered legislation such as his 'Muslim ban') is because his opposition was typified by Streep's brand of baseless moral grandstanding in the face of peoples' real political concerns. Streep's – and her liberal-minded Hollywood clique's – patronising, virtue signalling rhetoric on topics such as immigration is one of the key reasons why a figure as absurd as Trump was propelled to popularity among swathes of the electorate in the first place. These people represent a prototypical pseudo-liberal mindset which submits that, for example, any concern the average voter has in respect of mass migration of peoples from a worryingly illiberal cultural background has no basis whatsoever in fact and is simply knuckle dragging racism. This mentality also leads to a failure to appreciate that a major part of Trump's campaign focussed on promising to bring jobs back to the 'rust belt'; forgotten towns and communities in populous swing-states like Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania which have been left behind by globalisation. These are places whose residents' lives and concerns couldn't be more far removed from those living in multi-million dollar piles in leafy LA suburbia.
It will be interesting to see just how political this year's Oscars will get. Apparently, award winners will only have 45 seconds to deliver their speech before being drowned out by an orchestra. Hopefully they'll get Bob Dylan to conduct the orchestra and urge them to "play it fuckin' loud" as in 1966. But 45 seconds might be just enough time to quickly wax sanctimonious lyrical. Perhaps the winners will just humbly accept the award and thank their parents before slinking back to their seat to reflect on their pretty bloody good lot in life. Regrettably, humility is a rarity in Hollywood.

Boutique hotels, on the other hand, are smaller in size. Supreme fetishizers. I don think it necessarily bad to be a Supreme fan, but I do think when people continuously buy everything from Supreme, even to the point where you buying things just to buy them or attempt to sell them (slowly becoming hypebeasts), then it becomes a little unhealthy.

Fox and the hound: Role reversal as the fox chases the beagle
At first glance it seems like the perfect way to outfox a hound - just hide behind it.
But far from staying out of sight, the fox and his mate actually went on to confront the beagle in a bid to protect their four newborn cubs nearby.
Mircea Costina, who caught the moment on camera in a forest north of Montreal, Canada said: 'The dig did finally give up, leaving the fox family to remain safe.
'It was the first time in my life when I saw foxes so brave and who managed to fight back in front of a hunting dog and to defend their pups with their life.'
The dog is a trained hunter, yet he looked more lost than found as he walked just inches past his prey.
And despite keeping his nose to the ground the canine tracker was left totally oblivious to his target after being completely outwitted.
To complete a role reversal, the fox then turned the tables on hundreds of years of tradition by confronting the dog.
Protecting a new litter of four little pups with the mother of his children on hand, the pair made it clear the doggy intruder wasn't welcome.
Mircea, Master biogeography at the University of Montreal, said: 'This is the story of one fox family that I was watching from 2008 for three years.
Catch me if you can! Fox leads dog on a merry old dance
Happy families: Fox and cubs protecting their den
'This year they had four little pups, the two parents are very protective with theirs cubs and it was beautiful to watch.
'In one day, around 7am, I was close to their den, trying to take some pictures.
'Suddenly, the two parents became very agitated and in the next moments I heard a dog barking.
'The male started to seek the intruder and the female was pursuing him when the dog was getting very close to the den.
'The male fox promptly started tracking the dog and in one picture you can see him right behind the beagle.
'The dog did finally give up and finally left leaving the fox family to remain safe.'
Masters of Foxhounds of America, the 104-year-old, Virginia-based organization that oversees some 170 foxhunting clubs in U.S. 36 states and across Canada, estimates there are around 15,000 fox hunters across North America.
Fox hunting was carried to the continent from the UK in the 1600s. President George Washington, for example, was a fox hunter and kept a pack of hounds.
The controversial sport is banned in the UK with Scotland outlawing it in 2002, then England and Wales following suit from February 2005 when a November 2004 Act was enforced.

It's a place where guys go to dream away the cares of the day, and where the strippers actually enjoy their time in the spotlight. But now Hyapatia's lesbian gal pal Colleen Brennan wants her to sell the joint and come live in luxury with her. She doesn't want to sell, and instead spends her time dreaming of erotic encounters with her well-built lawyer Richard Pacheco. Okay, so the plot's not all that amazing. The action certainly is! Filled with luscious natural beauties and plenty of strip club bump-and-grind, 'Red Garter' has what it takes to get a rise out of any audience!

Dude, where's my opp?
I have not seen a decent opp over at PayPerPost in a week. I keep logging in and seeing the same 10 things, none of which apply to me or my blog. They must send their salespeople to the same training as the ones I work with! HA! Hopefully, when I move this blog over to my own domain (which is already in the works), I will start seeing more opps to pick from..cause I am not liking this at all. SLIM PICKINS!

It's two Popsicle sticks glued together with a piece of black yarn passing through the hole drilled in the top. That is my cross.
I spent the last weekend on a youth retreat. It turned out to be awesome. Have you ever felt like you were right in the middle of God's will? As I reflect back on the weekend retreat, it seems that we were right in the middle of God. That's a good place to be. From the behavior of the kids to the speakers everything seemed to just fit together. It really seemed like God was in control.
As I watched the retreat progress, I got a chuckle at seeing the kids getting taken out of their comfort zones. Praying, singing, listening to personal encounters with God, and doing skits were only a few of the things that made some of the kids more than a little uncomfortable. It was cool to watch the kids progress from the attitude, "I'm not going to sing and you can't make me." To, a grand entrance by the high school boys singing the chorus, "yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord" as they entered the sanctuary after cleaning their room. Prayer had been answered; they had indeed come closer to God.
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. At the service the priest gave us all these small little crosses made out of Popsicle sticks to wear. We are to wear them during this period of Lent to show the world that we are Catholic, and we believe in Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross. I wonder if God got a little chuckle as He watched me squirm as I thought about wearing this cross to the farm store, to the basketball games, and everywhere else I went. You see I like to be like the kids and pass under the radar. Now, I feel like I have this huge target around my neck with these two Popsicle sticks hanging from it. Do you reckon priest, nuns, and clergy feel like targets as they walk through this world?
I'm sure I will be blessed just like the kids were when I get out of my comfort zone and get right in the middle of God.

And speaking of bumper stickers
The folks that are complaining about too much government are the same folks (politically speaking) that sponsored the bumper sticker in the late 1960's, early 1970's - "America: Love it or Leave it!"

Marko Pasha says....You're quite right , the people who say "less government are the same people who used to say "America: Love it or Leave it!" I would add this observation They say "Less Government"and "Less government spending" with respect agenda that they don't agree with. They have their own conservative agenda that they want the government to legislate and spend money on.ReplyDelete
On a more cheerful note, I finally got "Radio My Way" from Loeb Music Library today. I can't put it down. :-)

Victoria Winckler is Director of the Bevan Foundation, a charity that promotes social justice in Wales through research and debate. She has worked extensively on equality and poverty issues at the Foundation and in her previous roles in local government and academia.
By Victoria Winckler
What image does the word 'poverty' conjure up? Someone sleeping rough? A disheveled mother and dirty kids? Or maybe a pensioner hunched over an electric fire trying to keep warm?
The reality is a bit different. About one in five of all households in Wales live in poverty, with about one in eight of households where people are working being poor, as are a third of single, childless women and a quarter of single men. Poverty can affect any one, at any time, and is undoubtedly in a street near you.
That said, some people are at much greater risk of being in poverty than others: disabled people, for example, or Bangladeshi and Pakistani people, are particularly likely to have low incomes not least because they are much less likely to work than other people.
Some people being very much better off than others is not an accident, random or a matter of luck. A new report by the Equality and Human Rights Commission and the Welsh Institute of Social and Economic Research and Data (WISERD) shows in great detail just how people's income and wealth are shaped by who they are as well as what they do. Characteristics people can do nothing about – their gender, ethnicity or disability for example – play a big part in how well-off they are.
For example, people living in white households are found to have a median household income £71 a week higher than people in black households. Women workers typically earn 84p an hour less than men – a gap that soon mounts up over a week.
The report doesn't make any recommendations, but it's clear that with inequality on this scale the Welsh Assembly Government, local authorities and all the other bodies that provide public services need to sit up and take notice.

Anal sex web dating sites Discreet sex dating 100 no cradit card
But since I am a curious person, I checked the site out.It's not just a normal dating site such as match or e harmony, no it a SEX dating site.Over the course of our marriage, I've seen her interest in sex decline gradually to the point where she doesn't even have an interest anymore.I treat her very well, provide most of the financial responsibility of our household, and make sure that I continue to take her out on dates, buy small gifts for her, bring her flowers, etc.But in spite of all these efforts, when I try to initiate sex, my wife participates through the foreplay and then tells me that she just doesn't feel like having sex or is too tired.She still enjoys kissing and receiving massages from me but that's as far as it goes.With the large member database and user-friendly features, Positive Singles becomes the first choice of herpes singles.
#2 HMates is one of top online dating sites catering to singles living with STDs.That's just in the United States, how about other parts of the world? Women with herpes is an embarrassing thing, but we are not alone.Let's check the top 5 dating sites for women with herpes, and find more herpes support, meet more STD friends.Ok, so I know many of the people reading this are going to judge me and HATE me and I'm sorry for offending you, but I am only on here to look for guidance and advice.I am a 40 year-old married white male who has been married to my wife for 12 years (together for 16) and have always been faithful to her but circumstances have forced me to look for a woman on the side. When I first met my wife, she had a voracious appetite for sex and since my drive was also strong we had an amazing sex life right from the beginning of our relationship.

I am crazy about Dalmatians! We have had three so far, and I plan on having at least one Dalmatian in the house at all times for as long as I am able. In fact, I am so obsessed with Dalmatians that I sometimes fantasize about what it would be like to live in a town called Dalmatianville, where everything Dalmatian rules!
I would drive a Dalmatian-spotted car,
|By KARPOLAN
and work in a Dalmatian-spotted building,
|From infoteli
or perhaps start my own business in a Dalmatian storefront!
|By the8rgrl
I would live in a Dalmatian-spotted house,
|From freshome
complete with Dalmatian-spotted picket fence,
|By Marty Coleman
and Dalmatian-spotted mailbox and fire hydrant out front!
|By Michel Devont
|From Uphaa
I would own the perfect little hobby farm, and in addition to Dalmatian dogs, I would have leopard Appaloosa horses (I think they should be called Dalmatian Appaloosas!),
|From Horse Forum
Exchequer leghorn chickens (the Dalmatians of the chicken world!),
|From Alles met pluimen
and even some spotted cats!
|Egyptian Mau
Indoors I would of course have an aquarium filled with Dalmatian mollies:
|From AquariumFish.net
|From Aquariums-Info.com
Everyone has their own idea of the perfect town -- Dalmatianville just happens to be mine!

Millions of sufferers need a more effective cure when it comes to the cure of heartburn than the antacids and other drugs usually recommended by their doctors to treat the symptoms of their complaint. This complaint deprives you from proper sleep and rest and makes you wakeup once or several times at night with a burning sensation and pain in the chest caused by acidic gastric juices moving up in the esophagus.
While Protein Pump Inhibitors (PPI) prescribed by a doctor or bought over the counter may keep heartburn manageable, the best way to reach a cure of heartburn is to adopt a different lifestyle and dietary changes that will eliminate it completely.
Heartburn is really a misnomer and not related to the heart. Because the symptoms do have a lot in common with heart attack symptoms, however, it is possible to misdiagnose yourself. Be sure to get a medical examination to rule out more serious problems before looking for the answer to the cure of heartburn and the elimination of heartburn that is caused by gastric juices.
Eliminating culprit foods that can cause gastric upsets would be a good place to start from. Here is a list of those foods and beverages you would be better off staying away from:
- Spicy and Fatty foods, ground beef, French fries, chicken nuggets, buffalo wings, sour cream, onions, chips, donuts, ice cream, chocolate and sugar.
- Beverages including coffee, tea, acidic fruit juices, wine and alcohol.
Wow, that is some list of favorites to deprive yourself from when we all like to indulge and enjoy life at celebrations sometimes. So just what is safe as a natural cure of heartburn?
The following list of safe alternatives is also impressive making it absolutely unnecessary to starve:
- Baked potatoes, carrots, green beans, peas, skinless chicken breast, London broil steak, very lean ground beef, egg whites, fish, goat and all fat-free cheeses, oatmeal, corn bread, graham crackers, and rice are all foods that cause little to no heartburn.
- Apples and bananas are on the top of fruits list. Raw or blanched almonds, jelly beans and red licorice are great for keeping heartburn in check and providing a safe path towards the cure of heartburn.
That's better! There are enough available foods here on this list to make tasty meals. In addition to eating several small meals instead of large ones and never eat within three hours of bedtime, you do not have to keep wondering what to do to get to an effective cure of heartburn. Also, some people recommend not drinking liquids 30 minutes before and after meals which is helpful as it speeds digestion.
When you sleep, keep your head and shoulders elevated by propping yourself up with firm pillows. Try to avoid stress in your daily life, get more rest, give up smoking, and keep your weight under control, look and feel better by avoiding sugar and fat. By following these simple lifestyle changes, you can assure yourself of reaching a natural cure of heartburn and with time and will power, you will effectively eliminate the discomfort and pain it causes.

The Opera House opened on June 7, 1904, and was deliberately built on the border between Canada and the United States. It was declared a heritage building by both countries in the 1970s.

text: Transport Minister Manfred Stolpe on Wednesday presented transportation experts in Germany's parliament, the Bundesrat, with a 200-page contract for Germany's controversial new high-tech truck toll system. Traffic Committee Chairman Eduard Oswald said the contract would be closely scrutinized in order to determine whether penalties could be brought against the collective responsible for creating the defective system, which has been on hold since technical problems delayed its introduction earlier this year. The system has been designed and operated by the Toll Collect Consortium, owned by Deutsche Telekom, DaimlerChrysler and France's Cofiroute. The Transportation Ministry has said that from December, delays will cost the government €156 million a month in lost revenue, with the consortium facing penalties of €250,000 a day until the end of February, at which point the fine would go up to €500,000 per day.
