Among the many expectations for IT in 2014, Ethernet is projected to broaden its penetration in the metro area and the WAN. The ubiquitous technology will become further entrenched as a broadband access, cloud interconnect and wide area medium, further distancing itself from legacy TDM services. Here are eight predictions for Ethernet in the New Year, from service provider Comcast Business Services:
1) 10 Mbps Ethernet is the new T-1
The city of West Haven, Conn., has a combination of 10Mbps and 20Mbps Ethernet connections that link City Hall with 17 other municipal locations. This is becoming the norm in cities around the country, according to Mike Tighe, executive director of data services at Comcast Business. It will continue throughout 2014, especially as fiber becomes more prevalent, he says.
2) It's the beginning of the end for TDM as the primary access technology
And as T1 gives way to Ethernet, so does TDM in favor of packet and wavelength services. Citing data from Vertical Systems Group, Comcast says 2012 was the first year that saw global bandwidth purchased for business Ethernet surpass installed legacy services bandwidth. That gap will widen next year and beyond.

3) The distinction between Ethernet LAN and WAN blurs
McMenamins, a family-owned business which operates numerous pubs, breweries, music venues, hotels and theaters in Oregon and Washington, is using Ethernet, services to connect a number of locations in both states. WAN bandwidth used to be the bottleneck between Ethernet LANs across distances. Ethernet will continue to remove that bottleneck in 2014.
4) Metro Ethernet will be redefined taking the "metro" out of Metro Ethernet
In keeping with the three previous predictions, snack maker Utz Quality Foods replaced T-1s with Ethernet to connect facilities in Hanover, Pa., and Sterling and Fitchburg, Mass.. Tighe says he lobbied the Metro Ethernet Forum to take "Metro" out of its name and replace it with "Carrier," to no avail. But clearly, he says, Ethernet's applicability is moving beyond the metro area into just about every market telecom touches. He believes the "metro" qualifier will be dropped for Ethernet services next year.
5) Private cloud dedicated interconnect really starts to matter
One of those expanded markets for Ethernet services is in cloud interconnect. Union Station Technology Center in South Bend, Ind., is a provider of wholesale data center, carrier and digital services that uses Ethernet to provide connectivity options to its hundreds of regional, national, and international customers. Indeed, we see Ethernet switches from vendors like Cisco being positioned more as data center interconnect devices. Increasingly, more and more cloud providers will do likewise, Tighe believes.
6) A breakthrough year for carrier Ethernet interconnection through CE 2.0
In February 2013, Comcast achieved Carrier Ethernet 2.0 (CE 2.0) certification from the Metro Ethernet Forum for Ethernet-based E-Line and E-LAN services. CE 2.0 expands the number of MEF-certified Ethernet services, adds application-oriented class-of-service objectives, and manageability enhancements. The number of Ethernet services providers being certified for CE 2.0 will expand in 2014, Tighe believes.
7) SDN enables faster delivery of Ethernet services
This falls in line with what we've been hearing from SDN vendors and consumers for the past year or so now: ease of provisioning through automation. Having all the Ethernet service provisioning equipment orchestrated under one software management discipline will facilitate this. And this facet of SDN will become more prevalent in 2014 and beyond.
8) Footprint remains the Holy Grail for Ethernet providers
By footprint, Tighe refers to the ability to use existing facilities cabling, equipment, space, power, racks, etc. to provision and deliver Ethernet service. Sports arenas are becoming the glitzy, flashy Ethernet service showcase du jour. An example he provides is the Boston Red Sox. They use Ethernet for Fenway Park in Boston and for JetBlue Park, their spring training stadium and facility in Ft. Myers, Fla, to support Jumbotrons, immediate score and statistic updates, and for fan engagement. Ethernet at these facilities processes transactions at concession stands, supports fan WiFi access and gives the press box Internet access for posting stories, blogs and tweets.
Another is the Denver Broncos, which uses Ethernet to deliver facility-wide HD video and more at the team's Sports Authority Field at Mile High. The combined company of Extreme Networks and Enterasys is doing the same for the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles. Tighe says these highly-visible, high-profile showcase accounts will expand in 2014. Now, if they can only improve the experience outside the ballpark....

AIKEN, S.C. – The Georgia College volleyball squad (4-20, 1-13 PBC) dropped a road Peach Belt Conference (PBC) contest Wednesday at USC Aiken (16-8, 8-5 PBC) in three sets, 25-16, 25-17 and 25-19.
"Our passer struggled tonight and it was tough for our attackers to get hot," said head coach Gretchen Krumdieck. "We are turning the page and looking forward to hitting the court the rest of the week."
Freshman Rachel Reynolds (Marietta, Ga.) led the attack with just seven kills; the next closest was three each for Blake Willoughby (Savannah, Ga.) and Caroline Long (Roswell, Ga.).
Caroline Ham (Marietta, Ga.) led the Bobcats with 20 of the team's 50 digs, and got help with 10 from Ashton Bigler (Fairborn, Ga.). Setter Micayla Patterson (Tyrone, Ga.) tallied 17 assists.
The Bobcat attack had trouble punching through a locked-down Pacer defense, as Georgia College hit a -.008 clip to the Pacers' .136.
USCA didn't put anyone in double-digit kills either, with the team-high coming from Ashley Diedrich at nine. They did record 7.5 team blocks to Georgia College's three, Endea Ellison and Leah Rodgers tying for the team lead at four each.
The Bobcats fall to 1-13 in PBC play, tied for ninth in the conference standings, with the top eight advancing to the PBC Tournament in mid-November. UNC Pembroke owns a two-match lead in the win column at the eight position and the Bobcats have four conference matches to go.
GC volleyball is back in action Saturday, Nov. 2 at 2 p.m., traveling to Lander University (16-8, 6-7 PBC). The Bearcats most recently beat Anderson University 3-1 Oct. 29.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Miami Digs: Heat rise to victory in game 6Posted by Michael Yablonicky in Uncategorized | June 19, 2013
MIAMI — The headband. The one-shoed 3-pointer. The Ray Allen corner jumper. However you want to remember the Miami Heat's 103-100 overtime Game 6 win, for the San Antonio Spurs it might be best known as the game they want to forget.
Consider: The Spurs led by 10 points going into the fourth quarter, were up five with 28.2 seconds to play, and were up again by three with 2:42 to play in OT. But the Heat consistently found ways to make plays and finish on top. Which left the Spurs, in the words of Manu Ginobili, "devastated."
"It was a hell of a game," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. " It was an overtime game. It was a game of mistakes. And they ended up on the winning side."
Several Spurs posted major performances with the chance to deliver Miami a knockout punch, such as Kawhi Leonard, who finished with 22 points and 11 boards (and early on had a monster dunk over Mike Miller). But it was Leonard's missed free throw with 19.4 seconds remaining in regulation that left the door open for Miami and caused "Nick Anderson" to become a trending topic on Twitter.
For all of Manu Ginobili's brilliance in Game 5 — he finished with 24 points, 10 assists and three turnovers — the Heat confounded him at nearly every turn throughout Game 6. Ginobili finished with nine points and eight turnovers in just over 34 minutes of play, including a turnover with the Spurs down by two and 2.4 seconds left in overtime.
"I had a very good game last game, and I just couldn't maintain it," Ginobili said. "I was very insecure — well, I had a career high in turnovers in a really bad moment. It really helps to make me feel terrible.
"Even with all that, we were so close of winning it. So, it's one of the many things I'll be thinking tonight."
Throughout the Spurs' dynasty, we've grown used to seeing them finish games with poise, and time and again finish off opponents. Yet, for whatever reason, in Tuesday's Game 6 the Spurs couldn't find that resolve.
"We didn't exhale at all," said Tim Duncan, who had a monster first half (25 points and eight boards) before finishing with 30 and 17. "We continued to make some plays. We missed some free throws down the stretch that could have clinched it for us. As I said, we get a stop, we get a bad bounce and right out to Ray [Allen] for a 3. We get stops before that and get rebounds, push them out, we put ourselves in a great situation. It was just unfortunate the bounces that we get, but that's how basketball goes. They're a very good team over there and they continue to play right down to the wire."
Now the Spurs have less than 48 hours to forget this game and what might have been, and instead focus squarely on a decisive Game 7. Popovich said in order to get the Spurs prepared after such a heartbreaking loss, he will take a pragmatic approach: "Get them on the bus, it arrives at the ramp over here, we get off the bus, we get on the court and we play. That's how we get ready."
"I have no clue how we're going to be re-energized," Ginobili said. "I'm devastated. But we have to. There's no Game 8 afterwards. We're going to have to play our best game, even better than today. Shoot better, better defense, less turnovers in my case. But yeah, there's no secret recipe for bouncing back."
"We have no choice," said Tony Parker, who finished with 19 points and 8 assists and no turnovers, but admitted he was battling cramps down the stretch. "We have to bounce back. We have to realize we have another great opportunity. It's going to be another great game."
"It is what it is," said Duncan. "It's a one-game series now."

I have a general question regarding quantum groups. It seems to me that the representation theory of the algebra $\mathcal{U}_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{e-1})$ has many parallels with the representation theory of $\mathfrak{sl}_{e-1}$. Why is it this algebra which shares so much in common with $\mathfrak{sl}_{e-1}$ rather than its universal enveloping algebra $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{sl}_{e-1})$? ($\mathcal{U}_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{e-1})$ is the quantised universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_{e-1}\otimes \mathbb{C}[t,t^{-1}]\oplus \mathbf{C}c\oplus \mathbf{C}d$).
Edit: Let me try to formulate the question more precisely. Let $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sl}_{e-1}\otimes \mathbb{C}[t,t^{-1}]\oplus \mathbb{C}c\oplus \mathbb{C}d$ and let $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ be its quantised universal enveloping algebra. Then the representation theory of $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ has a lot in common with the representation theory of $\mathfrak{sl}_{e-1}$, for example there is a theory of integrable highest weight modules for the two objects and their finite-dimensional irreducible modules have a similar appearance. I am wondering why it is this algebra which shares properties with $\mathfrak{sl}_{e-1}$, rather than its own quantised universal enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_{e-1})$. If this doesn't make sense, then I mustn't understand something!

Why I don't speak at more sites on
how to help people quit smoking.
During the week of the Great American Smoke-Out, I received two requests from local companies for free smoking lectures for their employees. I went to the first, a major insurance company with close to 3,000 employees on site. The company was anticipating at least 20 employees would take advantage of such a beneficial program offered at lunch time.
I was armed with my slides showing the deleterious effects of smoking accompanied by the ever famous smoking bottle. I was prepared to deliver a dynamic presentation of facts and figures overwhelming any smoker with even the least bit of interest and with any cognitive capability to the realization that he or she should quit smoking or risk losing life, limb, self-respect and social status.
I anticipated the skepticism I used to encounter when I first started a lecture to a group of smokers. When given an hour, though, to present the facts, the dangers of smoking usually become overwhelming and indisputable.
So here I was all revved up to attempt to break through the smokers' ever present denial and other defense mechanisms protecting his or her addiction. I sat patiently waiting for the onslaught of smokers, coming in with great anticipation and trepidation as to how we were going to treat them and the subject of smoking cessation.
The first person to come into the room was the company contact person. She was an ex-smoker of about a year. She was only going to stay to greet the audience and introduce me.
Next came a former clinic graduate, coming to tell me she had quit almost five years ago and was very grateful for being able to stay off smoking all this time. She stated, as so many often do, that quitting smoking was one of the best moves she ever made in her life.
She introduced me to a friend who had quit smoking almost three months prior while hospitalized due to a major smoking related illness. The clinic graduate thought her friend would benefit from hearing my presentation to reinforce her ammunition and resolve to stay off smoking.
The time that the presentation was to have started had now passed. One more person, a young woman, came into the room. I asked her if she was coming in to quit smoking. It turned out she was a non-smoker.
She had recently lost both her parents to cancer and was going to start volunteering for the American Cancer Society in cancer prevention. She was just coming to observe how to deal with smokers on the topic of quitting. No one else came to the program.
It was obvious that the materials I brought were unnecessary. I didn't need slides convincing my audience of the dangers of smoking. They already knew that smoking was deadly and had stopped or never started. The smoking bottle, too, was unnecessary, and, besides, I had no one to get a cigarette from even if I wanted to do the demonstration. I spent the hour talking about nicotine addiction and the importance of relapse prevention.
A couple of days later I went to the second company. It was a much smaller employer with only about 100 employees on site. I was a little worried that with this small employee population it was quite possible that no one would show up for the presentation.
Once again I set up my slides and was prepared to do my demonstration. This time, to my pleasant surprise, 15 employees came into the room. When I started to inquire on smoking histories, though, it turned out that 12 of them had never smoked, 2 had quit for almost 20 years each, and one was a current smoker who was dragged in and had no interest in quitting.
Normally, I would gear my presentation to the one smoker if she had wanted to quit. She had made it quite clear that she was there under protest. As you may recall from your participation in our clinic, we are there to help people who want to quit smoking not to force people to stop.
The other 14 people came to hear the dangers of second-hand smoke. So, again, I disregarded my slides and bottle and proceeded to talk on a topic different from what I had prepared. I spent some time on relapse prevention for the two ex-smokers there and the remainder of the time on the dangers of second-hand smoke and how to deal with smokers.
While I don't want to draw any universal conclusions from only two local companies, I think a trend is becoming apparent in this area. Those who found it possible to quit on their own have stopped. We have many more non-smokers and ex-smokers now than we have smokers. Non-smokers and ex-smokers are becoming ever more interested in how they can improve their health and reduce their exposure to the dangers of tobacco smoke.
Unfortunately, the group who should be the most interested and take advantage of cessation programs are not doing it. They are so deeply addicted or so hopeless that they are afraid to stop on their own or even take advantage of convenient free programs offered to help. They are becoming more shunned and less tolerated by the new health conscious majority. They are not in an enviable position.
If you are currently a smoker, recognize that you are caught in the grip of addiction. Common sense is telling you smoking is expensive, socially unacceptable and deadly. Unfortunately, common sense is taking a back seat to the drug seeking behavior associated with addiction.
It's time to override this deadly drug seeking mechanism. As a clinic graduate you are welcome to come in and start again free of charge. This time make it work. Your life may depend on it. Don't quit to be right to the majority, quit to be right to yourself.
If you are an ex-smoker, don't take not smoking for granted. Getting off cigarettes was only the start. Staying off is now equally important. You worked hard to get this far. Keeping it going now is relatively simple--all it entails is remembering to - NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!

XnView MP 0.39 and XnConvert MP 1.1 combo sfs
Subject description: Image viewer and simple image editor
Updated 5.9.2011.
XnView MP 0.39 and XnConvert MP 1.1 combo sfs. Locales included.
34 Mb as sfs. Yes, I know, it is big. But it is getting closer to be good graphics app. Xnconvert has grown in size all the time. Should be good now.
Download link for sfs:
Download link for pet:
To resize application font or change the font, you need
file. By editing it, you can change the font and size of the font. It comes with Qt4, so you have it if you have Qt4 libs installed. Then you dont need this attached pet. You can use
binary which launches gui for changing application defaults. The /root/.config/Trolltech.conf is attached below....
Virtually all of standard XnView's much loved features have been preserved for the 'Multi-Platform' (MP) version.
For XnView MP, notable features have been re-tweaked, enhanced and visually re-styled. All core features and functionalities of the standard XnView are all still present in XnView MP whilst some are steadily being re-introduced.
XnView MP has a more 'concise' approach in it's design, when comparing it to the standard XnView. This conciseness can be visually seen in a lot of XnView MP's user menu's. For example, in the standard XnView 1.9x versions the information items (Info) for "command line", "registration", "what's new" and "licence agreement" were all available under separate items and would open in separate windows or instances. However in XnView MP, this has been re-styled to make all those same items still available, but now under a single ABOUT window with a tabs for each item. Several other concise-thought display methods now exist throughout XnView MP much like the aforementioned example.
XnView MP is free to use for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Both 32-bit and 64-bit editions are available.
New features in XnView MP compared to standard XnView:

Seems Xnview 1.70 version has been updated since I tested it last. Might work now in Puppy 4.31 based derivatives.
But my sfs is based on different version anyway. I like to have one common sfs app for every derivative. Pupsaves eat too much partition space if I install needed pets to every puplet I like.
Conversion to older puppies is easy with sfs converter.
Only problem is that sfs is not allowed attachment in this forum. So ease of installation is missed.

If it's small enough, you could always try compressing the .sfs into a .zip archive and then attach it.
(I know, the forum software's not going to allow anyone to attach a 100-200+MB SFS to a post, but that didn't stop me from imagining it...

Yes, I know that. Or I could change the file name from .sfs to .gz for example. But I have in mind ease of installation. Fortunately I have small quanta in ftp server. No problem to upload files to there. Bonus is that if I need to refer to them lately, I have them easily in hand to point where they are.

hi pemasu
i tested on new puppy build from woof and worked. the last xnview is failed to open because there is something wrong with the font look like not macth with new puppy.
but i lost xnview ability to manage picture like crop an coloring. mybe because this is still beta.
i thing i must wait till stable release, to include it on my puppy.
and you can cutdown so it can be smalest, just simple move an other langguage suport in /usr/local/xnview/langguage. but it is okey to move it ? because xnview is free for use not free to edit (GPL)?
and thks for update

I noticed also that it is missing properties still, like crop. Language pack is about 1.6 Mb and it is possible to get it smaller by dropping most languages out. But like you said, it is still heavily beta and future updates are to be expected.
So I wont make cleaning yet. I ask from developer straight about leaving languages out when next stable version is out. But it is not big difference in size anyway.
I will offer updates now and then as sfs.

If I remember right, there were locales, which I removed, because the package was already so big. I could probably provide locales separately or build even bigger sfs with locales.
To make applications fonts bigger. I really dont know. I havent followed xnview forum lately. The answer - yes or no - should be found there.

Thank you for your answer!
because the package was already so big.
25 mo: so big? I guess I feel a bit awkward with this superstitious fright that seems to be somewhat anachronistic while the smallest HD or USB key can easily support it. Are the languages files so heavy? They are so important and useful that I think it is a pity not to keep them inside.
Woe are us, non English speaking guies...
Perhaps could you please at least, simply make a compressed file with locales only, so anyone could change and rebuild the sfs file consequently...
Anyway, I am happy to know that this great LINUX version of xnview exists and works quite well!
I havent followed xnview forum lately. The answer - yes or no -
should be found there
Could you please give the link?

Well, I made the sfs for my own usage and I always strip extra locales out.
I will make sfs with full locales inside.

SAN BERNARDINO (CBSLA) — A newborn is without his father Friday after immigration agents detained the man as he was taking his wife to deliver the baby.
"I feel very bad right now," Maria del Carmen Venegas told CBS2 News in Spanish as she held her baby boy while still in her hospital gown.
Her husband Joel Arrona-Lara was driving his wife to the hospital for a scheduled Cesarean section Wednesday afternoon when they had to stop to get gas. That's when their car was approached by two SUVs. Maria said they were officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The mother of five was then asked to show her identification and complied. When the agents asked Arrona-Lara, the couple said he didn't have the ID on him, but that they lived nearby and could go get it for them. The agents then asked Arrona-Lara to exit the vehicle, searched the car for weapons, and put Arrona into custody, leaving Maria alone at the gas station.
Security video shows her visibly upset inside the convenience store.
Maria ended up having to drive herself to the hospital to deliver the baby.
"My husband needs to be here," Maria said. "He had to wait for his son for so long, and someone just took him away."
Maria told CBS2 Arrona-Lara, who is from Mexico, has never been stopped by police, and that he's never been in trouble with the law, not even for a ticket. However, ICE said Saturday Arrona-Lara was picked up because he is wanted by law enforcement authorities in Mexico on an outstanding homicide warrant.
An attorney representing Arrona-Lara on behalf of the nonprofit San Bernardino Community Service Center said those charges are unconfirmed. Emilio Amaya Garcia told CBS2 he has been in contact with the Mexican consulate who said it currently has no information about ICE's claim.
Garcia added Arrona-Lara's detention paperwork shows he is in custody for being in the country without documentation.
In the following statement from Friday, ICE makes no mention of homicide charges, only that Arrona-Lara was taken into custody the agency's "Fugitive Operations Team":
"Mr. Arrona-Lara, a citizen of Mexico illegally residing in the United States, was taken into custody Wednesday by ICE Fugitive Operations Team officers in San Bernardino, Calif. Mr. Arrona-Lara is currently in ICE custody pending removal proceedings with the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).
"ICE continues to focus its enforcement resources on individuals who pose a threat to national security, public safety and border security. ICE conducts targeted immigration enforcement in compliance with federal law and agency policy. However, ICE will no longer exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement. All of those in violation of the immigration laws may be subject to immigration arrest, detention and, if found removable by final order, removal from the United States."
A GoFundMe account has been set up to raise money for the family. To donate, click here.
This story has been updated.
Come here from Drudge? Check out http://www.PressCalifornia.com for more real California news.
Was he lying when he said his papers were at home? Why does his wife have papers and he doesn't? While in the US what has he been doing? Since their child will be born in the US the child will be a citizen. Then citizenship can be granted to bothe parents as well as many other family members. Who was or will be paying for the c section? Are they receiving government subsidies?
Enter the US illegally you are subject to deportation. There would not have been an issue for this person had he not done so. Its very funny,left wing wingnuts who cite the Constitution when it comes to Trump could less about immigration laws. Hypocrites all.
While this individual story is sad from a human perspective, the blame is not on ICE .
How is it you managed to reach adulthood without learning two wrongs don't make a right?
First of all, there is only one wrong. Second of all, it is a federal crime to work in the US with out a visa permitting it. The law is there for the protection of the American worker, which, by the way, have a flat family income for the last 43 years! That, in part, due to illegal immigrants diluting the work force and depressing wages.
Then there is this, not reported by CBS. Thank you CBS!
"(Update on Sunday Aug. 19 at 1:10 a.m.: On Saturday afternoon, ICE detailed that Arrona, a Mexican national, was wanted in Mexico under an arrest warrant issued on homicide charges. "Mr. Arrona-Lara was brought to ICE's attention due to an outstanding warrant issued for his arrest in Mexico on homicide charges," ICE said in a statement, without detailing the charges. "
So this is a case of one right cures two wrongs!
The invader who illegally entered our Country is being deported.
We are a Nation of Laws or we're not
Some laws stink. The man who beheaded Paul the Apostle was obeying the law. The people who hid Jews from the Nazis were breaking the law.
And if your law says your should destroy the life of a man who never harmed anyone, and tear his family to pieces. Then your laws stink, your laws are evil, your laws come from the pit of Hell, and your laws should be changed.
Are laws that punish people from breaking into your house bad? If not, why not and how is that any different than laws keeping people from invading our country?
He is wanted in Mexico for MURDER ! He has been here for 12 years, Her for 2 and they have 3 US Citizen children now so they are draining your TAX dollars . Murder in Mexico and move here, live for 10 years until your wife comes and then start the baby citizen factory up ! These are the people we want ? I dont think so ! WAKE UP AMERICA !
The disregard for common decency shown by several of the comments on this story is disheartening. So often I repeat my pastor's favorite saying, "There, but for the grace of God, go I."
American "Christian" values need a makeover. And soon.
Have no doubt in your mind, the taxpayer is paying for everything. My father came here from Europe with his family. They came as legal immigrants through Ellis Island. He had to wait five years to become a citizen. He had to learn English and recite a paragraph in front of a judge. The people mentioned in this story don't even have the last name. Bet she is on welfare. Kick every last one of them out.
Go to Mexico to download your brat.
I have a hard time with these comments. Human beings are no longer important to people. The law is supreme right or wrong. That's what's wrong with this country. No humanity left. People's souls are gone.
Well, you have to understand that these commenters don't see these people as human beings- they don't see ANYONE in the out-group as human beings. POC, smart people, feminists, the GLBT community, urbanites, they could pile our bodies a mile high and they would be giddy with joy as long as they didn't have to see it, smell it, or do the killing with their own hands.
Good Americans, all.
Your extreme tribalism is showing. How glibly you assign people to groups, as if no thought or larger association is possible. How many members of your group listing are making these comments objecting to the ills of illegal immigration? You have no way of knowing, your just expressing your opinion informed by bigotry, not intelligence.
So, because he has a pregnant wife, he gets to break the law. Wanna bet he doesn't have health insurance? So guess who's paying the wife's hospital bills? Hint, you (we) are, sucker
You are judging not knowing anything. She had no problem so she was legal, maybe even born here. He might have a job with insurance, you don't know. You are doing whats call stereotyping. Assuming everyone of one characteristic as all being the same. Just like judging all Christians by looking at the Westboro Church. Stick to facts not what you guess.
The facts are that she doesn't speak a word of English so your theory about her being a citizen goes out the window.
How do you know he broke the law, that they have no insurance….fact based on what? You must know something that the video doesn't show. There is absolutely nothing in that video that he has broken the law. Driving without your license is not breaking the law and is not cause for arrest. What that was, was inhumane… starting from the moment ICE drove up behind them with two unmarked vehicles….. Period!
I don't understand why people are shocked by this. This can happen anywhere where a person is illegally residing in a foreign country. We either have laws, or we don't. Selective application of the law is how governments become corrupt, and how revolutions come about. Enforcing the law is not always an easy thing to do, but it is absolutely vital to maintenance of a free and FAIR society. Laws apply to EVERYONE, or they apply to no one. Use your brains.
Newsflash: this government is already corrupt. You're welcome.
The next time a cop pulls you over and offers to let you off with a warning, you will insist on getting a ticket. Right? Because the laws apply to everyone or they apply to no one. No leeway, no delaying even a day so his wife will have him there while giving birth. You wouldn't be a hypocrite and allow yourself to get off with a warning, I'm sure.
Should have driven her to TJ Now we have another illegal legal child we did not need. One who should not have been here anyway. End birthright citizenship now.
Bravo, ICE. Keep up the great work! If she is here legally, fine. Let her and the baby stay. But deport that husband right away. Want to keep the family together? Let the mother and child accompany him if they wish. I bet they will choose not to.
Apartheid was legal, the holocaust was legal, Slavery was legal, colonialism was legal. Legality is a matter of power, not justice.
Well said. Thank you. From these comments I thought we were a country devoid of compassion. You prove otherwise. Again, thank you.
So daddy was an illegal and mommy now has five children who became citizens by being born here. ICE was doing its job. Keep daddy away from mommy so she won't keep pushing out babies one after the other. I'd love to know who is paying for all of them.
He was a convicted smuggler. He's going to prison.
Ice is doing their job,if they hadn't entered this country illegally they would be having this issue , they have no body to blame but themselves
5 kids are too many.
And, learn English.
Now how do we get out the FREAKING welfare babies and the mother??!! GET OUT!!! not on my dime get out!!
Send mom and dad and anchor baby back to their country of origin. Is the illegal alien gonna pay for that $20,000.00 hospital bill and all the prenatal care.
Get those moochers out a here.
ICE was doing their job, guy was here illegally, but of course liberals ignore the truth.
A mother of five…. Yes, that's 5 anchor babies that we SHOULDN'T be forced to care for! If he wasn't here, we wouldn't be wasting tens of thousands of dollars on illegal alien anchor babies. Just think, we PAID for her 5 other kids. So we're looking at over $100,000 wasted on anchor babies who SHOULD HAVE been born in Mexico.
I am DONE with this idiocy. Deport them all, including the kids, cut off ALL welfare and funding for illegals and repeal the birthright clause. We are being abused and it's sickening.
It must be hard to be as stuffed with hatred as you are. Hatred of people who have never harmed you.
When you get to the Judgement Seat of Christ, those "anchor babies" that you wanted to hurt will be standing with Him, and if you don't repent of your hatred, He will spit you out of His mouth.
I've read your replies. I wish more people were like you and less like the hate mongers and selfish jerks you're responding to.
Channel 9 spreads it's bias
A C-Section delivery is an expensive procedure and requires an extended hospital stay for mother and child. Who is paying for all that cost?
Good work boys. They have to go back.
no matter how venomous some of you feel on this, can we agree on one basic thing: dumping a woman in labor on her way to the hospital at a convenience store, all by herself, and forcing her to drive herself— that's criminal, right? Right? Or have you lost all sense of decency?
It's an unfortunate situation but the reality is that if you don't want to risk being deported, you need to come here legally. Simple as that.
Every third-world loser on earth has a sob story. I just DO NOT CARE anymore; we can't support the whole world. Why can't these people fix their own dysfunctional countries?
who drives without an ID on them??
Illegal is illegal. How they got caught doesn't make them legal.
Good deal, my tax dollars at work!
I feel bad for all the parents who've been separated from their children because of Democrat obstruction to building a wall on the Mexican border, and by obstructing the progression of any immigration reform. Those parents will never have the chance to see their children again because they were murdered in cold blood by illegal aliens who weren't even supposed to be inside the United States.

I had respect for a hard working "immigrant" dishwasher who worked his way up, eventually opening multiple restaurants all over town. However, it was thru drug distribution! His restaurants were all a money laundering front. He went to prison years ago. This week he was arrested again for distributing Meth… about the same time that Mexican Marines seized record 50 tons of meth…"Federal, state and local law enforcement officers allege that four of the 22 people — Alfredo Herrera, 73; Domingo Aguirre, 60; Javier Passement, 53; and Pedro Perez Jr., 65 — operated two wire services in Tulsa and Broken Arrow to remit proceeds from methamphetamine trafficking to an unidentified supplier of the drug in Mexico, according to indictments unsealed on Wednesday."
"Borders! We don't need no stinking borders."
>"Maria told CBS2 Arrona has never been stopped by police, and that he's never been in trouble with the law"
She, of course, employs Lawlessmexicospeak…a form of communication that refuses to recognize that illegal acts are crimes.
"Mr. Arrona-Lara, a citizen of Mexico illegally residing in the United States…"
Democrats wrote and passed into law our current immigration laws, yet now villainize Trump for enforcing the laws they wrote. If you don't want picked up be ICE, then don't break the law by invading the USA.
And who cares where you are , a warrant is a warrant. Deport the criminal.
Just another fatherless anchor baby. Maybe he should have come here legally. Too complicated? Deport the mother as well, they can take their anchor baby with them.
so he kills someone in Mexico then runs t o hillary and CNN in the states for absolution? A f-ing murderer. Way to go people. And you said Trump was wrong? A murderer. Hell I suppose it is OK because in san francisco they let an illegal go who murdered Kate Satley. We want mexican murderers. That is the way democrats and district courts think to make america great. A murderer. Oh my. ICE said Saturday Arrona-Lara was picked up because he is wanted by law enforcement authorities in Mexico on an outstanding homicide warrant. and go fund me? who will get more Kate or this murderer. If leftists have their way I bet the mexican. They hate normal americans.
You don't need a go fund me account. The trip back to Mexico is provided free to you and your anchor baby
Arrona Lara has reportedly been living illegally in the U.S. for 12 years. ICE released the following statement about his arrest on Friday:
"Mr. Arrona-Lara, a citizen of Mexico illegally residing in the United States, was taken into custody Wednesday by ICE Fugitive Operations Team officers in San Bernardino, Calif. Mr. Arrona-Lara is currently in ICE custody pending removal proceedings with the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR)."
Jerry Brown is already trying to figure out if he can give him a pardon
Her English is so good, (not) obviously these people don't want to assimilate, they just want the free stuff.
Too bad, so sad. Shouldn't have come to the United States illegally, murderer or not. He just scr3wed his own child out of a father, as did the child's mother by enabling his illegal presence in the US. ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES: LEARN IT. KNOW IT. ACT ACCORDINGLY.
This is flat out out of this world. My grandfather, his brothers, my great-grandparents all came here from New Zealand in the 1910's. I have his Nationalization paper's. My people came to this country legally, they didn't sneak in. So others can also do it righ, also. So get with it the United States of America has laws just like every country does, so why should we not enforce them when everyone else enforce there's but we're the only country that gets criticism for enforcing our laws. So get with it world if you don't want people breaking your immigration laws then why be critical of the United States wanting to in force our law's.
"However, ICE said Saturday Arrona-Lara was picked up because he is wanted by law enforcement authorities in Mexico on an outstanding homicide warrant."
Thank you ICE for arresting murder suspects. Please ignore the idiots criticizing you.
Guess she needs to find a new husband here in the USA. Her current one is a murderer. She needs to trade up. Plenty of nice men in the USA and not all of us are racist. Stop crying and deal with life.
if they are illegal send them back , if there legal had are inicent then thats unfair situation , wander what they do to aford 5 kids
One of the scariest things to behold are groups of stupid people/idiots (especially when they vote in mass).
I want to say thank you to ICE for continuing to protect the public from these murderers and rapists that some insist on letting invade our land.
Stupid Amuricans I don't need to show my stinkin PAPERS! That's an illegal stop & search. No probable cause except they were POC.
My wife got pulled over for speeding while taking my daughter from urgent care to the ER for appendicitis. The cop couldn't have cared less. And since we weren't illegals, the press didn't care either. I'm sure there are many people with similar stories who thought the cops would give them an escort to the hospital, but instead got a delay and a ticket. Cities with speed traps just want their money and won't listen to any excuse.
He's a wanted murderer you liberal progressive morons (that includes you CBS)
To me this reads that they were questioned because they are of Latin descent, and not because of reasonable suspicion. The ICE agents are in violation of the US constitution in fact there is precedence of this "In U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, an 1898 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the term "person" under the Fifth Amendment applied to aliens living in the U.S. In Fong Yue Ting v. U.S.,the court held that Chinese laborers, "like all other aliens residing in the United States," are entitled to protection of the laws."
It's not right to separate a couple going to a scheduled C-Section just because the husband murdered someone in Mexico. What about the poor child? She will be traumatized all her life. They should only arrest illegal immigrants that do bad things. "I asked them why they separate good people, why they weren't arresting people who do bad things, and I asked them to let us go," María del Carmen Venegas said in Spanish.
should be stated as "ICE deports illegal with license to drive exxon dependent car helps the climate change industry.
Thank you ICE for cleaning up and protecting our nation from murderers and rapists and thugs as these. Mexico keep your trash!
"Story updated" to reflect reality rather than the Liberal fake news about those awful, mean ICE agents? Keep them all together in Mexico. Ship her out before she spots out that anchorbaby!
Don't do the crime if you don't want to do the time.
Here is the Nazi policy at work. First, make our neighbors criminals. Then make it illegal to try to enter as a refugee. Then take rights away from legal residents. Then try to take citizenship away from people who were legally born here. Oh, and shoot a bunch of young black boys and men down in the street while you are at it.
You can agree with strong borders and law enforcement without being racist bigots.
Listen to yourselves. "Anchor babies." "Learn English." "Mexican Trash." Really? And this guy speaks such good English?
Eric L. Holley
if they are illegal send them back , if there legal had are inicent then thats unfair situation , wander what they do to aford 5 kids
Not from this person. Five kids? Support yourselves and quit with the hands out.
These illegal aliens are driving to the hospital to have their 5th child and they stop at an AMPM prior….GIVE ME A BREAK! American taxpayers have paid and continue to pay for each of their children….medical care, education, food stamps, and these people have the nerve to make statements that being arrested is unfair! These people are in the United States illegally, and this illegal alien is wanted for a homicide in Mexico and the news media wants us to feel sorry for them?! Excuse me but I don't have time for this BS….I have to run to the grocery store and get ready for my 40 plus hour week of work so I can continue to pay for losers like this.
An effin go fund me page…you gotta be kidding me. My nephew has cancer, 5 weeks of Chemo every day, 5 weeks of Radiation every day, had to have all his teeth pulled. He, deserves a Go Fund Me Me page NOT these POS's…😡😡😡😡😡
Boy, thank goodness he wasn't wanted for murder of a CBS staffer, just some lowly peon!

>At one time, divers were treated in recompression chambers using the U.S. Navy treatment tables and breathing air instead of oxygen. The failure rate was high. It is unlikely that in-water recompression using air is more effective than those old treatment tables. In-water recompression with the diver breathing oxygen instead of standard air has been used successfully in some areas.
>However, in-water recompression has its own dangers and should not be attempted without the necessary training and equipment, or in the absence of someone who can assess the diver medically. The resources required for in-water recompression usually exceed the ability of those at the scene to properly assist the injured diver.

"Biggest Loser" coach Jillian Michaels is open to both sexes when it comes to romance.
"I've been in love with both," the 36-year-old told Women's Health magazine, which featured her on their May 2010 cover, according to TVGuide.com.
Jillian got revealing for the magazine's story, also opening up about how she weighed 175lbs at the age of 12.
Since then of course, she's turned her body around, becoming super fit and helping others achieve healthy physiques, which may be why when she's ready for motherhood, it won't be done the natural way.
Jillian revealed she plans to steer clear of pregnancy.
"I'm going to adopt," she said. "I can't handle doing that to my body. Also, when you rescue something, it's like rescuing a part of yourself."

Washington Treasure Trail Hunt to raise money for rescue efforts
WASHINGTON >> Want to take a trail ride and win treasure? If so, join the Humane Organization Representing Suffering Equines (H.O.R.S.E.) of Connecticut for a Treasure Trail Hunt on Saturday, Oct. 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
"Our Treasure Trail Ride is a fun event," said President Patty Wahlers, who has rescued more than 650 horses over the past 30 years.
"Riders will have a chance to pick up 'treasure' along the trails on the farm. Included in this is our grand prize, a pair of Field riding boots worth $200."
Wahlers points out that this is not a timed event. Riders will follow the marked trails on the 47-acre farm and look for prizes hanging off the trees. They must remove the prizes while riding.
According to Wahlers, two of the farm's rescue horses, Star and Bronson, will be participating in the event.
Star, an 8-year-old Morab (Morgan Arabian) who is a registered white horse, will be ridden by trainer Liz Morsey of L & L Equestrian in Washington.
Volunteer trainer Emily Slosson of Newtown will ride Bronson, an 8-year-old Belgian Quarter Horse who is a Premarin baby. Premarin is a conjugated estrogen product extracted from pregnant mares' urine. The urine is used in hormone replacement therapy and the babies are often slaughtered.
"Both Star and Bronson have made great progress with their training,"Wahlers said. "Emily and Liz have generously donated their time to help train the horses to ride on trails and in the ring. Having them participate in the Treasure Trail Hunt shows just how far they've come."
Registration for the event begins at 9 a.m. with the ride starting at 10 a.m. Lunch will be served at noon.
"We have over 65 prizes on the trails," Wahlers said. "There's everything from grooming supplies to leg wraps to lead lines and more."
Anyone wishing to ride in the Treasure Trail Hunt should bring their horse to the farm located at 43 Wilbur Road in Washington. There is a $50 entry fee per horse and rider.
For more information call (860) 868-1960 or email email@example.com. If you aren't able to attend the event but would like to make a donation go online to the organization's site at www.horseofct.org/donationsnmembership.html

A Face Bracelet
While I absolutely LOVE the sweet vintage artwork, I just knew this was the perfect way to share my cherished photographs of those people most important to me! I had plenty of pictures, I just needed to gather a few supplies...
1. Shrinky Dinks for Ink Jet Printers. You can buy them online, but I was able to find a package at my local Michaels Craft store for about $10.00 for 6 sheets. (Be sure to use an INK JET printer. The instructions implicitly state NOT to use your laser printer as it gets too hot, but always the one to test theories, I sent a sheet through and can personally confirm that laser printers will not work for this project!)
2. 1/8" hole punch. I can never find my tools when I need them. You can be the most organized person in the world (WHICH I'M NOT) ...but if you have kids that abscond your equipment for their own random art projects, you'd better be familiar with their hiding spots!
3. Corner rounder punch. Ugh! I have one of these too. I gave up trying to find mine and just curved the covers using a pair of scissors.
4. Clear Acrylic Sealer. I have boatloads of this...and the real miracle is that I know where it is!
5. Charm Bracelet with jump rings for attaching charms.
6. Scrap paper and Mod Podge glue - This is optional, but I felt like the white back of each charm was PERFECT for some fun scrapbook papers that I could attach with my ever handy bottle of Mod Podge glue.
7. Oh yes, you'll need an oven too!
8. This project also requires a computer with some type of photo editing software (i.e. Photoshop Elements) and an ink jet printer.
Pictures need to measure approximately 1.5 x 3". Once the material shrinks your final charm will measure a mere .6 x 1.2" so photographs of individuals with simple backgrounds work best. You'll still need to make some cropping decisions. Notice that I cut off a few tops of heads and even an ear or two. Using Corel Draw, I started with a grid (5 across, 3 down) that I could use to place each picture. Once the picture filled the rectangle to my liking, I cropped it to its final size. I am showing the final page using all black and white pictures, but color pictures worked well too.
This next step is VERY IMPORTANT. You must decrease the opacity of the pictures to accommodate the shrinking process. Here are the pictures at 50% transparency. The original color / intensity will return after baking. Also keep in mind that the Shrinky Dink sheet measures slightly smaller than the standard Letter size sheet. Make sure that your pictures will fit on the 8 x 10 sheet.Print the sheet and cut out each picture using a pair of scissors. If you want, round the corners using the corner punch.
Use the 1/8" hole punch to punch a hole in the top corner of each charm.
{I like a vintage look, so I antiqued the edges of each charm with a quick rub of Jim Holtz Distress Ink. I LOVE the color Vintage Photo on EVERYTHING!}
Instructions for baking your Shrinky Dink charms come with the packaging, so I wont go into too much detail here. Just be prepared for the edges of the charms to curl. I used two flat pieces of metal to flatten each charm AS SOON as they came out of the oven. They cool quickly, so only shrink a few charms at a time.
After the pieces have cooled, add some coordinating scraps of paper to the backs of each charm. You could also add names / dates of each person. Spray the charms with the sealant. Allow the sealer to dry completely.
{At first, I was regretting this extra step because it added so much time to the project. Now that it's finished and dangling from my wrist I am OH SO glad that I took the time.}
All that's left is to add a jump ring that will let you attach the charm to your bracelet.
I've been wearing my face bracelet for about four hours now. I LOVE everything about it. It's the perfect weight...very light! It has just the right level of tinkling sound...not too loud, but just enough to notice it! I'm going to be careful not to let it get wet as I don't think water will be kind to it.
The best part is staring at the bracelet and thinking of the stories that accompany each picture. Right now I'm practically carrying a library on my wrist!

I had tried this before. I was thinking charms, keychains, xmas tree ornaments. But mine was a flop- I did not understnad the opacity thing. I am trying it again. I used fotoslate to do teh layout and saved it as a jpeg and changed the opacity (I had to google how to do that) to 50%. Now I am waiting a few minutes before touching it.
Is that the hardest part or what?!
Thanks for giving me the umph to try again!
- April 28, 2010 at 12:33 PM
Deanna, I wish I knew Fotoslate to tell you the easy way to do transparency. I love my Corel software. It's SO easy to use! My big mistake was trying to make my laser printer work for the project...even though the packaging said NOT to use laser. I wasted an entire sheet of Shrinky Dink material. Wahhhhh!

Fish & Crosses Pot Grabber
Do you have oven mitts or pads in your kitchen for hot pan handles? TLC Patterns has a refreshing idea on how to replace them! Designed to protect your hands from hot handles in the kitchen, our pot grabbers come in a variety of patterns that you can choose from. If you or someone you know loves collecting colorful decorations and kitchen essentials, then take a look...
Anyone that cooks in a kitchen or outside on the grill can find one or two perfect pot grabbers to fit their personality. As you can see, this pattern is filled with inspiring fish and crosses in a smaller print.
We designed the pot grabbers to fit over pot handles on the stove or grill. They protect your hands while you are stirring, tossing and moving hot pots and pans. Once a pot grabber covers the skillet or griddle handle, you won't have any draping material close to the stove top heat. You also don't need to worry about locating or wearing an oven pad or mitt when the dish needs to be removed from the heat.
All of our pot grabbers are designed and crafted in the USA by TLC Patterns. They can be hand washed to remove cooking stains and blotches.

AJ columnist and exiled Londoner Ian Martin chooses his favourite parts of the capital ahead of a talk at the Royal Academy about his experiences of London as an outsider
'I've lived in the North since 1988, yet still spend more time in Soho than I do in Lancaster city centre. I'll be talking about my 10 Favourite Bits. Half of them have disappeared now but I claim psychogeographical privilege', Ian Martin.
1. BBC Television Centre
Norman and Dawbarn's genuinely iconic inhabited doughnut, with studios and office splayed out in all directions. I first went inside it in the 60s to watch a Monty Python episode being recorded. Decades later I had my own pass as a writer for The Thick of It. It drove people I know mad. Built for an age where people smoked pipes indoors, it creaked under the weight of an internet age. I loved it. There was always some rackety improvised stuff going on. Any time of day or night you'd nip out for a fag break and there'd be young people running lines or buggering about with a Dalek. Inside, there were so many creative particles in the air you'd instantly be 10 percent cleverer. Now it's going to be more yuppie flats and offices. That saddens and infuriates me.
2. Waterloo Bridge looking south
In 1967, I remember seeing the Hayward Gallery under construction. Song of the summer was Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks. Weirdly melancholy and uplifting at the same time. An old post-war world giving way to these fantastical Brutalist lumps. The Hayward's a joy to be in, my favourite London space. In the late 70s I was in a band, lots of early morning drives south across the river. Philip Vaughan's Neon Tower cheered me up, never more than driving home after the birth of my first child. Three a.m, just me and the neon in an utterly changed world. Thatcher had become prime minister. Now she's gone and so has the lovely tower.
3. Something by Lubetkin
Not the penguin pool. His Finsbury Health Centre probably, or his council flats, or both. I loved Lubetkin. It used to make me laugh, the way his critics would airily dismiss him as a champagne socialist, as though that undermined the iconic egalitarianism of his local authority work. His Royal Gold Medal acceptance speech was electrifying and full of strangeness. The revelation that astronauts had a genuine psychological struggle seeing 17 dawns in 24 hours – that's been lodged in my head ever since.
4. The Bride of Denmark
When I worked at the AJ in the 1980s it was still very much an old-fashioned family firm. A sprawling Georgian warren in Queen Anne's Gate. The Bride was the cellar bar, assembled from bits salvaged from bombed Victorian pubs by John Betjeman and the rest of them. Stuffed lion, the lot. Everyone went down for coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon. You could "cause the bar to be opened" in the evening for guests. It was fantastic. The building was later bought and asset-stripped. The stuffed lion's probably in some oligarch's study now.
5. Nine Elms Cold Store
The memory of this always make me laugh. I worked with Martin Pawley at the AJ in the 80s. He was a contrarian, a man without scruple. He had a very low threshold for dicks and idiots. I can't remember if it was in print or on the radio but someone had asked him what his favourite Modernist building was and he sarcastically put the case for the feature-free, lumpen concrete bunker everybody called Battersea Cold Store. What was hilarious was that I think as he spat out his satirical words of praise he sort of convinced himself. And me. I miss it. It was never not funny, remembering how it had become accidentally emblematic in my head.
6. The Mappin & Webb building
Oh, the megalomaniac larks at Poultry. I had zero interest in preserving the undistinguished Victorian corner block former containing the ghost of Mappin & Webb, the posh jeweller's. Then millionaire philanthropist Peter Palumbo decided he would buy up the neighbourhood and drop an architectural bomb on London - an unrealised Mies van der Rohe slab, a brutal Mad Men slab of chic. I didn't like Palumbo, but Prince Charles strongly objected to the scheme, and I liked him less. Always pick a side. The scheme eventually foundered and in what felt like a half-spiteful move Palumbo commissioned Jim Stirling to design a post-Modern landmark there instead. The planning inspector weighed Mappin & Webb against Stirling's 'possibly a masterpiece' and at that point, when the original Victorian building was doomed, I thought that the just thing to do would be to keep it. I wish we had. I hate Number One Poultry. I blame Terry Farrell, the great po-Mo enabler. Bah.
7.Tottenham Court Road Underground
When Eduardo Paolozzi's mosaics went up in the 1980s I thought they were pretty good. Now I feel like weeping with gratitude every time I see them. Who could have foreseen at the time just how egregious this bit of public art was going to be? Because three decades on, Paolozzi's legacy is not just a thousand square metres of charming, optimistic art. It's much more. It's a thousand square metres of commercial retardant. No purchase for those brainless ads you have to see everywhere else. How utterly brilliant is that?
8. Balfron Tower
The scruffy version of Goldfinger's Trellick Tower. I used to know someone who lived there and it was a pretty frightening place to visit. I'm sure it's got a Trellick-level hipster quotient now. To be honest, it's seeing it on the skyline I like most. Still so shocking and futuristic. Also, it was designed for and built by the GLC, in the days when more than half the architectural profession was in public service. What a monument to those days of a thriving public sector.
9. Any view of London that doesn't contain The Fucking Shard
'The best view of London is from the top of the Shell Centre' said John Betjeman, 'because you can't see the Shell Centre from there'. The quote was later appropriated by Nicholas Ridley who, for the benefit of younger people was once secretary of state for the environment. He was a sort of Cardinal Richelieu to Margaret Thatcher's Sun Queen. I went 'up The Shard' recently. The architectural press made a great fuss about how sterile and disconnected it is at ground level. My God, have you seen it inside? Seriously. It felt like being in some giant static advert for Everest double glazing. I hate its monstrous bullying scale. I hate the rhetoric that's always surrounded it. "A vertical city"? Shut up, Renzo. You're pissed mate, go home. I hate its inevitability. Its unstoppable rise demonstrates just how horribly invincible late capitalism is. Remember this free market stalagmite was submitted for planning permission before 9/11. It inched its way up through recession and scepticism like some revolting, giant inverted drip.
10. A sign for 'The North'
I like being close to an escape route. You can hear the M6 in summer from our garden and I find soothing and reassuring. I could be out of here and heading north or south at speed in 10 minutes. The first 'The North' sign I used to see was at Angel. I mostly travel up and down by train these days, but it still lifts the heart. 'This way to not-London. This way to a geography so massive anything's possible, and lets stop at the first Burger King services on the M1, and then GO HOME'.

Can we please have more articles by Ian Martin,

Absolutely delightful, Ian. I agree with most of your 'likes' and your 'hate' -the Shard. I've aways hated it as it was going up -and now you can never miss it -it looms like a giant toothpick on the skyline.
I always relish Paolozzi's mosaics at Tot.They look poorly maintained and need a clean up and listing so they can't be removed or taken away .
Lubetkin too is great. All his stuff in Islington which I passed by regularly when working in the Architect's Dept there. Also missing in your list are some of Lambeth estates under Hollamby. Brutalism at its vastest. Now Eric Pickles want all these estates demolished when any of them have been cleverly renovated.
Let' s have some more from Ian -I hope he is back as a regular!
Martin for Mayor
