The website Conservativehome – which somewhat obviously defines itself as "the home of Conservatism" – last week carried a comment by their pundit Iain Dale, presenter of LBC Drive, managing director of Biteback Publications, a columnist and broadcaster and a former Conservative Parliamentary candidate – and clearly not a man to mince his words.
"I've never met Mark Simmonds," he declared, "but, honestly, what a moron.
"Does he seriously think that anyone will have any sympathy for his apparent plight of not being able to survive on £120,000 a year? I ask you. I have some sympathy with his complaint that a parliamentary lifestyle doesn't really mix with a family life.
"But my sympathy is tempered by the fact that he must surely have known this before he applied to be a candidate.
"And if he didn't, he's even more of a moron than he appears to be.
"Does Simmonds realise how he comes across to a family of four who exist on £30,000 a year?
"And we wonder why people think politicians are out of touch"
In the Mail on Sunday, columnist Annie McElvoy is even more unforgiving.
Beneath the headline "£90,000 isn't enough for a Tory - but it's a huge bonus for UKIP ," she writes:
"Not only has Mark Simmonds, a Foreign Office minister, resigned on the threadbare grounds that a £89,435 ministerial salary and allowances strained the family finances, but Mr Simmonds – an erstwhile backer of the Prime Minister – wants to throw in the towel in his Boston seat.
"This charmless departure, I'm told, brought forth some 'rather salty language' from the PM.
"Ordinarily, an undistinguished parliamentarian quitting in a seat with a 12,000 Tory majority would cause few tears among election planners.
"But Boston, where feelings about immigration from Eastern Europe run particularly high, is a bull's-eye target at the election next May for UKIP .
"The Faragistes took more than 50 per cent of the vote there in the European elections; their highest total.
"Well-paid MPs with property portfolios moaning about how tough Westminster is sounds like a gift to the populist Mr Farage.
"The seat is not as loyally Tory as it looks; it was a hard-fought Labour marginal in 2001 and 1997.
"The only cheer for Dave is that the Lincolnshire coast isn't plain sailing for Nigel Farage either. I'm told his best 'frenemy' Neil Hamilton, whose entanglement with Mohammed Al Fayed ended up briefly losing the Tories the safe seat of Tatton, has 'swung into action', soliciting UKIP support in Boston while Mr Farage was indulging in his ritual summer fishing holiday.
"But the UKIP leader wants to spend more time allocating the prime Boston seat, dislikes having his hand forced, and has been cold-shouldering Mr Hamilton, whom he regards as an unreliable ally with a fondness for the sound of his own voice."
It wasn't just the heavyweights that ran with the story, either. Gaby Hinsliff, Grazia magazine's "political editor at large" has a name check for our MP as well.
And from as far afield as South Somercotes, a critic put pen to her local paper to declare that "Even as a Conservative voter I am appalled at the crass insensitivity with which Mark Simmonds announced his resignation.
"He bewails the fact that he cannot manage on £120,000 a year, plus a £25,000 a year salary for his wife and the proceeds of £500,000 he made on the sale of his London home – for which the taxpayer footed the bill and he pocketed the profit. You don't have to be a fan of "The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist" to see how thoughtless this is in an area where most work for the minimum wage.
"If that sort of income puts folk off becoming MPs, as Mr Simmonds states, then we are clearly in danger of having only the aristocracy back in Parliament albeit this time in the House of Commons instead of in the House of Lords!"
Conspicuous by their absence so far are any reports of how Mr Simmonds is likely to earn a crust once his parliamentary largesse disappears.
We all remember how he picked up £50,000 a year for ten hours' "work" a month from a health company – he was shadow minister for health between 2007 and 2010 – and we are sure he won't have taken a leap into the dark by quitting without the safety net of earning at least as much again as his parliamentary pittance.
His most recent work as Minister for Africa will have brought him into contact with all sorts of interesting people, and we await news of his future plans with interest.
Do we have a clue about how long ago Mark Simmonds decided not to stand again for Boston?
A reader e-mails to say "I've looked at the electoral register for Swineshead, and despite Swineshead Abbey being their only (or main?) residence, the Simmonds appear not to be registered this year, which makes me wonder where they are able to vote."
A colleague checked this as far as was possible, and told us that 192.com, which links names to addresses using information from the electoral register did in fact list the Simmonds family at the £900,000 mansion.
But there is no clue as to how old that information is, so things could well have altered.
If not on the register, of course, it is impossible to vote – but then if you are not standing, this scarcely matters.
Interestingly, a letter from the Louth neck of the woods underlines what we said last week about candidate selection and the golden ticket that some Lincolnshire constituencies like Boston represent for the Machiavellis – sorry, planners – at Conservative Central Office.
Victoria Atkins (pictured here with another Tory hopeful) is the newly appointed candidate for Louth and Horncastle, currently held by "Father of the House" Sir Peter Tapsell, who is calling it a day at the next election and who had a majority of 13,871 in 2010.
Ms Atkins is a high flying criminal prosecutor, and already well-connected in Conservative circles, serving as deputy chairman of the Conservative Policy Forum's Justice and Home Affairs Group.
She is described as having "an unusual amount of open primary experience from Tonbridge and Malling, Mid Worcestershire and North East Hampshire – and also stood for Gloucestershire Police and Crime Commissioner in 2012.
Whilst she says that she and her husband Paul, the managing director of a British food company "cannot wait to find our new home in Louth and Horncastle" her ties are clearly with London, and she also declares that "we like to spend what little spare time we have going to concerts, travelling, horse-riding and running around after our son, Monty."
As we said last week, the candidate list that local Conservative activists parties have to choose from is drawn up by head office, and it seems fairly obvious to us that the soon-to-be-new MP has most probably been been picked for her value to the party as a PR asset now, and a high flyer of the future – and less to do with the constituency and its needs in the present.
It will be interesting to see what happens here in Boston – as there has already been one cry of "foul" over the Louth-Horncastle selection.
The writer of a letter to a local paper says he was unable to register for the historic open primary election to select Sir Peter Tapsell's successor. He says he found that he was unable to register to vote, received no response to 'phone calls, nor could he register via the Conservative Association's website
"It would appear … that the Louth and Horncastle Conservative Association had deliberately delayed publicising the election in order to restrict the public attendance.
"Was that because the deal had already been done? Had Conservative Central Office instructed the local organisation to select a female in order to support their claim to welcome women MPs?"
We wonder what is going through the "minds" of our local Tory hierarchy as the ladies dust off their little black dress for the Boston selection process, and the men shake the mothballs from the turn-ups of their cavalry twills, seek out that natty yellow cravat with the blue fox heads on it, and pop their ageing tub of yellow brilliantine into the microwave to soften it.
The response of Tory supporters in Boston when County Hall snaps its fingers and tells them to jump is to ask "how high."
When Conservative Central Office does the same, the response will surely be "how much higher?"
Can we expect them to do their best for Boston, or do as they're told?
Why ask?
In fact when we looked at the Boston and Skegness Conservative webpage last night, there was still no mention of Mark Simmonds' resignation, nor of any timetable to find a replacement.
And the MP's own website was equally silent.
In fact when we looked at the Boston and Skegness Conservative webpage last night, there was still no mention of Mark Simmonds' resignation, nor of any timetable to find a replacement.
And the MP's own website was equally silent.
A couple of weeks ago we mentioned the TaxPayers' Alliance annual Town Hall Rich List – which detailed staff earning more than £100,000 a year.
There were two in Worst Street – Chief Executive Richard Harbord and his deputy and Strategic Director Phil Drury.
In overall terms, Boston always comes low on the list of councils when such scrutiny is carried out – but as we have said before, in the case of Mr Harbord, he is paid under a deal frowned upon by the Communities and Local Government Department through his own private company … which confers some considerable tax advantages.
This has not escaped the TPA this time around, though.
The report's author, TaxPayers' Alliance Campaign Manager, Andy Silvester, told Boston Eye: "This is a deeply concerning arrangement, and taxpayers in Boston will want to know why this strange situation is allowed to continue. This preferential tax arrangement is bound to raise eyebrows."
The webcasting of the Quadrant application planning committee meeting was a first for Boston Borough Council – but changes to the law mean that it will hopefully not be the last time we see our councillors starring on the computer screen.
New regulations announced by the Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles give journalists and the public new rights to report on local council meetings and allows them to film, digitally report, and tweet from all public meetings of local government bodies.
Pickles says that the new regulations – which apply only in England – are intended to end the resistance in some authorities to greater openness and the use of new technology to report on and film or broadcast council meetings.
Some councils have called police to arrest people who tried to report, tweet or film their meetings, or claimed the power to ban reporting on "health and safety" grounds or because of the danger that it would bring "reputational risks".
The new rules apply to all public meetings, including town and parish councils and fire and rescue authorities.
Eric Pickles said: "Local democracy needs local journalists and bloggers to report and scrutinise the work of their council, and increasingly, people read their news via digital media.
"The new 'right to report' goes hand in hand with our work to stop unfair state competition from municipal newspapers – together defending the independent free press.
"There is now no excuse for any council not to allow these new rights.
Not for the first time, it may well be the case that Boston Borough Council's leadership needs to smarten up its act.
At the end of 2013 – although allowing filming of meetings was not mandatory – councillors recommended a change of protocol on the grounds of transparency and openness … nay, nay, titter ye not, as Frankie Howerd used to say.
However, along with this grudging nod to democracy the recommendations gave committee chairmen discretion to allow filming or not and ordered that consent to film had to be sought in writing, or by email, to the democratic services manager no later than five working days before the day of the meeting.
The recommendation also said that filming will only be permitted from cameras on tripods set up in advance of the meeting in a location designated by the chairman, and prohibited the use of iPads, notebooks, tablets or smart phones to record the meeting either visually or by audio.
It sounds as though Eric Pickles has driven a coach and horses through the local handcuffs on democracy such as those agreed by the council – and we look forward to seeing changes made so that they can be implemented – and to hearing the news publicly announced.
Which brings us back to the TaxPayers Alliance …
In a report at the end of 2013 – around the same time that Boston Borough Council was deliberating allowing cameras into meetings – a report from the TPA named the council as one of twelve which only allowed the public to record at meetings with approval of either the chairman or the Mayor.
At the time, Andrew Allison, National Grassroots Coordinator of the TaxPayers' Alliance noted: "Allowing residents the opportunity to see democracy in action is an important part of the democratic process. Not all residents will be able to attend in person, and councils can get around this simply by allowing residents to film meetings themselves. They can also opt for low cost systems to broadcast meetings on their websites. It is time for councils to move into the 21st Century and embrace technology, rather than trying to pretend it doesn't exist the moment councillors enter a meeting".
It's not the first time that the TPA has had harsh words for the council.
In November 2012 it nominated Councillor Bedford as its Pinhead of the Month.
"Presiding over both the council and the Conservative group on the authority, he has just led his colleagues in support of a 20 per cent increase in councillors' special responsibility allowances (SRA) over the next two years.," said the nomination.
"He has justified the move on the basis that councillors holding leading positions at other nearby authorities are taking far more in allowances than is currently the case at Boston. The changes will see Councillor Bedford's own SRA increase from less than £6,500 per year to nearly £8,000.
Jonathan Isaby, Political Director of the TaxPayers' Alliance, commented:
"Peter Bedford has badly let down those he represents by backing the hike in his allowances at a time when families are feeling the pinch and having to make savings.
"When was the last time you heard someone complain that their local authority would perform so much better if only the councillors were given a big rise in their allowances?
"When was the last time you heard someone complain that their local authority would perform so much better if only the councillors were given a big rise in their allowances?
"When the council is freezing staff pay and making difficult decisions about how to spend scarce resources, the last thing councillors should be doing is increasing the amount they are taking for themselves.
"It ought to be a matter of pride for Councillor Bedford that he and his colleagues are currently delivering better value for money than their counterparts elsewhere by taking less in these allowances. Instead, they have chosen to vote themselves this eye-watering rise. How can Councillor Bedford now retain the moral authority to oversee necessary savings elsewhere in the budget?"
All of which moves us neatly on to our next item.
It's always good to get feedback from readers … particularly when they want to learn more about the way that our local politics tick – or in the case of the broken timepiece that represents the current leadership in Worst Street – grate and grind along without ever getting the time right.
And it was an e-mail from reader Annette that reminded us of much that has been forgotten over the years, and which needs to be remembered in the run-up to the next elections in May 2015.
"I enjoy reading your blog but would like to ask a question," wrote Annette. "How can Peter Bedford be council leader when he lost his seat in last year's elections?
"I am also confused as to why nothing is ever heard about the UKIP councillors elected last year.
"Are they actually out in the community fulfilling their responsibilities, or just sitting back enjoying their success on protest votes without having to lift a finger?"
Good questions both.
The answer to the first is that for many years, Councillor Bedford wore two political hats – at Lincolnshire County Council as well as Boston Borough Council.
At County Hall, Boston is represented by seven of the 77 councillors, and locally we have 32, which will be reduced to 30 next year.
Because of the way that elections fall, voting for seats on the county overlap with the elections at borough level.
So last year, Councillor Bedford and a number of his Tory cronies who between then had swamped the county political scene, got the old heave-ho with just one seat remaining Conservative, one becoming sort of Independent , and the remaining five falling to UKIP.
Bedford became leader of Boston Borough Council after the local elections in May 2011, via a rather arcane route which we will explain later.
UKIP – having won sixteen of the 25 seats that the ruling Conservatives lost at County Hall – then surprised no-one by proving how incapable they were when it came to conducting politics in the real world.
The election saw the Conservative Party lose overall control of the council, having previously enjoyed a sizeable majority, and found themselves six seats short of an overall majority.
UKIP was the biggest party, with 16 seats, but lost six of its councillors to defections caused by internal wrangling shortly after the election
The upshot was that the Conservatives agreed on a coalition with the Liberal Democrats and several "Independent" members – who themselves defected from their own "party" to do so – to continue running the council.
If all that isn't confusing enough, because of the collapse of UKIP unity, Labour – with 12 seats – now forms the official opposition.
At a local level, two people elected as UKIP members in the county elections were also voted in at by-elections in Boston Borough Council, and went through exactly the same political gymnastics as we had seen in Lincoln.
It's hard to keep track between county and local level, but having started out under the UKIP banner, they briefly flirted with the title "UKIP Lincolnshire" then "Independence from Europe" before throwing in their lot with the Lincolnshire Independents group … which is so independent that it has a leader, which makes no sense to us at all – especially as it has nothing to do with UKIP or its policies
So to answer the original question about UKIP at both county and borough levels – "are they actually out in the community fulfilling their responsibilities, or just sitting back enjoying their success on protest votes without having to lift a finger?" – in our opinion, the reply would be "up to a point."
They attend almost all lessons – four have 100% attendance records and one has 90%, but in terms of hearing from them or seeing anything by way of action, the answer is "not really."
The first half of the first question – "how can Peter Bedford be council leader?" – is probably asked somewhere in Boston on an almost daily basis and for the reason why we must again go back to the 2011 election.
Then, the Conservative leader was Councillor Raymond Singleton-McGuire and – such was the impact that Bedford made at meetings in the run up to the election, one candidate needed to ask who he was – even though he had 20 years' "service" under his belt at the time.
He was then the Chairman of Lincolnshire County Council – a largely ceremonial job occupied by rota on the basis of time served – as Boston's mayors are appointed these days after a brief flirtation with electing the post-holder.
Just days after the shock victory, Councillor Singleton-McGuire stepped aside and handed the reins to Councillor Bedford, becoming his joint deputy with Councillor Michael Brookes.
At the time, we asked the not unreasonable question "did he fall or was he pushed?" and were told that this was unfair, and we had misinterpreted a sacrifice for the good of Boston as some sort of political coup d'état.
With almost indecent haste, Councillor Bedford turned up on the wireless to tell the enthralled listeners with his customary loquacity: "It was felt that it needed a steady pair of hands, should we say, at the helm, and to allow Raymond to specialise in looking into the finances, because as you are well aware, with the cuts that are upon us from central government and we accept those, the fact that it has to happen, but we do need a specialist in the area, and on the Conservative group, he's the only person that we have who's a specialist in that area.
"It would be absolutely impossible to do both jobs.
"Everybody is happy with what's gone on. It was done amicably over the weekend; we had a group meeting yesterday teatime to agree and rubber stamp the outcomes."
As we noted at the time, it was Harold Wilson who famously ran a so-called "kitchen cabinet."
Now it seemed Boston had an equivalent – the Tory tearoom!
Nonetheless, we pursued the matter, and eventually, Councillor Singleton-McGuire declared: "I reflected on the situation at Boston Borough Council and its issues, especially the finances. In light of this, I set aside my personal gratification and tried to think what would be best for Boston. My intentions were to engage Peter Bedford as a second deputy similar to that at Lincolnshire County Council and South Holland District Council and to use his vast experience and ambassador qualities.
"Peter agreed to take over the leadership in the interim period, therefore releasing my time to concentrate on the finance portfolio."
So, an "interim" post that is still being clung to more than three years later and is likely to remain so until the election – and long after Councillor Singleton-McGuire is said to have sorted all the borough's financial woes.
Now to more on the Quadrant debate, which was held over from last week because of pressures on space.
A writer says:
"I wonder if the reasoning behind the Boston United move really was just because Old Yorkie has gone way past its best.
"In fairness, it has been crumbling for a very long time – but can that really have been the only catalyst for this extraordinarily large project?
"I would accept that the government's new initiative regarding house building, has played a fairly major part in the motivation, and in a run down, and dare I say it, neglected town such as Boston, initiatives like this are more than welcome.
"In fact in Boston`s case, it is vital, and needed a.s,a.p, because the way things look, it's not great.
"No matter the reasons, isn't it great to see local developers like Chestnut and others putting forward building proposals and developments in and around Boston?
"Well it is ... and isn't it clever that Chestnut's Quadrant name cleverly denotes that there are three others?
"But the recent planning meeting was a clear demonstration of just how bad things have been for Boston.
"Planners are strung along, manipulated and influenced, and as for the motley collection of decision makers – they do have a lot to answer for.
"What is questionable is how long this particular 'stringing along' has been going on, and the remarkable length of time, it seems, that this was being privately discussed!
"All our councillors actually knew a great deal about this, and it seems had been directed to the decision ages ago.
"Let`s get some clarity here, does the Payer or the Piper call the tune...because I think in Boston it is different from the norm.
"Is it really ok, to have potential bounty hunters wandering around our parishes checking out the viability of locations, upon which they might just happen to fancy putting a large or smallish development, and, it seems, being guided … nay advised … by our council?
"Would it not be equitable to give the local parish council notification, and information regarding such a project proposal?
"After all, it is their patch, but they seemed as shocked by the project as we were, and it seems not to have been the case with the Awful Quadrant Proposal that was – surprise, surprise – passed by the planning committee.
"So what is going on inside the heads of our top end senior officers in the Municipal Buildings?
"Have the delusions of grandeur and importance become so entrenched that they no longer respect, consider, or worry about the ordinary rate paying punter?
"Isn't it time we began to hold them to account; isn't it time that our councillors insisted on a regular 'information event' free from clutter and butter.
"We need to let our officers see the faces of the ratepayer, and force them to provide some proper reasons for projects and actions or lack of them.
"Our officers are paid by us, and councillors are elected by us and their calling is to act on our behalf.
"Believe it or not, they are therefore responsible to us – not, definitely not, the other way round, as some of them seem to believe.
"So here is a question for our development officers.
"Exactly how much assistance was provided, by our officers and staff for this contractor?
"We are told that the plot for the football stadium has been donated through some trust or charitable society....that's all right then, but whose land is it that the rest of the development has been earmarked for?
"Will we, or Boston United, actually and automatically own it at any time in the future?
"Will there be a cost?
"If all of that is actually right, is it really then the job of a highly paid council officer to strive to protect the confidentiality of those prospectors who I am sure will get a reasonable payback, maybe ?
"Even then, as contractors openly trample and dig all over a particular piece of land, checking out the potential of a development opportunity, we Wybertonians are kept in the dark, and/or sworn to secrecy?
"Our enquiry some time back to the borough, asked what a collection of workers with diggers and things were doing in a particular field in Wyberton?
"I believe at the first time of asking, no detail was available, and were told that the presence and purpose of the activity was unknown.
"Sometime later we were told that the council thought that they were just contractors, checking out sites that might be suitable for building on ... only to later discover the true scale of the forthcoming proposal.
"It seems a bit of an understatement to say that they are just going round looking for possible, or potential sites, and fast forward some time later and the work was still going on, in different locations, but on the same large site.
"Lo and behold, suddenly, not only have we been, it seems, falsely informed, we were then faced with being forced into a decision within weeks of this enquiry when a planning application was presented.
"So, a group were hastily gathered and scrambled around, trying to play catch up, attempting to find documents, checking the details, and responding, followed by creating a plan of action, in an attempt to thwart the detailed application and content of the developer's proposal.
"Not only, I believe, have our officers gone way beyond what might be thought of as accommodating, they have bent, further than whatever might be thought of as simply providing advice and guidance beyond the norm.
"Such is the desperation of the council in this town for any scrap of good news even if it is contrived and manipulated to gain an advantage."
Things are looking up after last week's gloomy warning for gardeners when we reported that Boston Borough Council had announced that it couldn't take any brown bin payments until September 8th "due to insufficient availability of stock." Soon afterwards, we heard from George Bernard, the borough's Head of Operations, who e-mailed to say: "Happily we received our delivery of new brown garden waste bins earlier than we were led to expect, so are now back in business for those wanting to join the scheme or buy further ones!"
The brown bin service is something that we can wholeheartedly recommend from personal experience and remains very good value – so long as the promise that one can be obtained for a one-off charge and no on-going costs is maintained.
Finally, more good news this week is that we are not alone in our concerns about the way that local government works in Lincolnshire.
A new website has been launched as "a clarion call to all those people in Lincolnshire that believe British standards should be the highest in the world and their maintenance should be fought for."
The authors urge readers to "join us now in this new - bloodless and peaceful - Battle of Britain, where we have an opportunity to put the 'Great' back into Britain again.
"With your help, we can give publicity to the wrong-doers, shine a light on to shady deals, and rip open those little brown envelopes under the very eyes of the people that are being deceived.
The website can be found at www.lincsenquirer.co.uk and is worth taking a look at.

It's been a while since the Equality Act came into effect, and now the dust has settled, it's time for recruiters to take a long and hard look at their hiring practices – does bias still occur in your businesses, and do you have the power to your elbows to avoid or eradicate it.
What's revolutionary about the Equality Act is not what it covers, but how it is presented. Previous legislation has protected workers from discrimination based on race, religion, gender, disability, and sexual orientation for years. But each of these criteria for discrimination, known as "protected characteristics," relied upon a different law. The Equality Act unifies discrimination law and protects those most at risk.
In this whitepaper we discuss why businesses need to understand how the legislation might force a change in their hiring practices as well as the relevant benefits of recruitment technology in order to establish a fair and law-abiding approach.

This month we focused in on the theme of Patience – one that both of us have been wrestling through lately. It's a trying time. As we know. The search for patience can sometimes feel like a lost cause. However, time takes its time. Brighter days. The revolution must be joyous.

Volkswagen's MOIA is all-electric car designed to provide maximally usable space for up to six passengers, and will make its official debut in service on roads beginning in Hamburg in 2018, where the company expects to put about 200 cars on the road at first.
The concept is centered around ride sharing, with a design tailor-made for users who will seek to pool their vehicle use. This six-seater vehicle goes above and beyond the typical current electric vehicle, with individual seats in place of bench, and with USB ports and dimmable interior lighting for individual passenger comfort and convenience. There's built-in onboard Wi-fi, and luggage storage provided not in the rear as you might expect, but up front next to the driver to provide more leg and passenger room in the rear compartment.
Range on the vehicle is around 186 miles based on the global harmonized WLTP testing standards, and it can also recoup up to 80 percent of is charge in just 30 minutes. The entire design and build of the car took only 10 months to get to this point.
Part of the design process of the vehicle involved feedback from a MOIA test of its ride-sharing service, which began in Hanover starting in October of this year, and provided real-time development information for the vehicle components for its new fit-for-purpose vehicle based on the experience of passengers in its pilot fleet of 20 Volkswagen T6 vans.
MOIA also offers a customer-facing app that allows riders to book trips and pay for their rides. This includes a built-in carpooling algorithm to group passengers on similar routes and maximize usage of the vehicles. To do this, the company is creating something akin to virtual bus stops every 200 to 250 meters throughout the cities it operates in.
The ultimate aim is to gear up for international launches starting in Europe by the end of next year, and moving on to the US by 2025, with multiple potential deployment and operation model in mind depending on the specific needs of municipalities and partners.

I have been playing Grand Theft Auto IV since its release day, on April 29. If you have checked the site recently, you've seen that I had quite the time with Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2. I'm not going to discuss GOTY this early in the year, but I can safely say that Vegas 2 may have guaranteed itself a spot among the 8 nominees. I have been trying to do my best with Grand Theft Auto IV, but I may have to delay my review on it. For a game this badly hyped, I need my review to be 100% unbiased and true. I feel if I give myself more time on it, then I think that its review could be of top quality.
However, I can GUARANTEE a review on Haze within the two weeks after its release. Check back, and thanks for any support.

The University of La Verne women's water polo squad would suffer a 13-2 defeat at the hands of a potent Claremont-Mudd-Scripps offense in conference action Saturday morning at the La Verne Aquatic Center.
CMS was anchored by a five-goal first quarter that would help propel the Athenas to a comfortable win over the Leopards.
Newly minted swimming All-American Maddie Lovrensky returned to the pool for La Verne after having competed at last weekend's NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships to contribute a goal for the La Verne squad. Ryanne Bible also struck the back of the net for the Leopards.
Leopard goalkeeper Lauren Shepard captured four saves on the day.
La Verne (9-17, 0-3 SCIAC) continues SCIAC action against Chapman Wednesday beginning at 5:00 pm.

During the 2011 NBA lockout, when Durant was still with the Thunder and James was searching for an NBA ring with the Heat, Kevin Durant and LeBron James met up in Akron, Ohio, to work out together.
According to ESPN, they both decided to write and record a hip-hop track which was locked away somewhere far from the public's ears.
"It was a quality track with surprisingly well-crafted and delivered lyrics", said an unidentified ESPN source.
Surprisingly, Durant and James didn't deny the recording, but they laughed and didn't answer any more questions on the topic when asked if such a track existed.
But nowadays as Kevin Durant and LeBron James are fighting for the 2017 NBA title, one will hope to expect a rap battle between the duo.

Ladies and gentlemen, Rafał Trzaskowski
Every year around the International Museum Day on 18th May, a specific spectacle takes place in numerous cities in Poland and throughout Europe, initiated modestly by museums exactly. In the beginning, it aimed to promote those institutions, alter the ambiance associated with museums as places where one walks around wearing house slippers and talks in a quiet voice. The Long Night of Museums has shown just how extraordinarily interesting collections owned by these institutions can be, and how originally they may be presented.
Others started to envy the success – not in terms of the turnout, but creativity and the ability to get across to the public with the seemingly difficult message behind the high culture. Due to being active in fields not associated with culture, state administration, courts, temples of various faiths, schools, services, and many, many more, wanted their share in this success. They used their chance superbly.
This is the Long Night of Museums cultivated by Warsaw for over a decade now. A modest event with participation of 11 museums evolved into an enormous, logistically developed happening encompassing Warsaw and its surroundings. Every institution participating in the project wants to present itself in an original, unique way. They encourage viewers-guests to come by preparing special exhibitions and presentations, on show for this one night only. They open their doors, despite remaining diligently guarded on a daily basis They think up programmes for children. And the experience is a really big thing for the youngest ones as well, because oftentimes they stay in the city with their parents until midnight.
This year's, 16th, Long Night of Museums in Warsaw is looking very attractive. On Saturday, 18th May, 260 institutions will invite visitors. Long Night of Museums' regulars need no special encouragement to participate in this extraordinary event. I hope that, as always, the audience – inhabitants of Warsaw and tourists alike – will also show up enthusiastically, and that emotions stirred by experienced attractions will stay in their memory for a long time to come.
Mayor of the Capital City of Warsaw
Rafał Trzaskowski
The biggest and at the same time most recognisable cultural event in the capital city has enjoyed enormous popularity since 2004. Institutions participating in the event are related with, i.a., art, culture, and history. As organisers, they guarantee an interesting and rich entertainment programme, and show their corridors which often remain closed on a daily basis.
The city's main role is to support all promotional activities related with the Long Night of Museums, including the preparation and printing of the guidebook, organising koszt transport, preparing and hosting an information point.
The Long Night of Museums is a pan-European event, but in Poland – unlike other European countries – it is not exclusively culture-related institutions that partake. Nonetheless, museums are the ones attracting the greatest numbers of visitors, waiting in the longest lines for their turn to enter. Popularisation of art collections is an ambitious and important task. There is lightness to the Long Night of Museums – due to its specific character, it is veiled in a certain extraordinary and inimitable atmosphere. We invite everybody to enjoy nighttime strolls and interesting discoveries. On this night, art belongs to us!
There is a night in May when it is not possible to get a wink of sleep! We are talking about the Long Night of Museums in Warsaw, of course. Regulars don't need any special encouragement to participate in this extraordinary event.
This year's, 16th, edition is looking really good. There are more than 260 cultural institutions waiting for all participants. Traditionally, we will travel between them with the use of museum lines, free of charge. This year, there will be 10 of them cruising through the city! Do you want to "catch" a poster and take a commemorative photo, relax in our zone, and have a drink of delicious lemonade? Pop by the information point in Defilad Sq., where special attractions will be awaiting you. Look for a gleaming "NOC MUZEÓW" sign.
Many unforgettable experiences lie ahead of us. We will make sure that nobody gets bored on this night

Evaluation of the WHO Approach to Estimate the Environmental Burden of Disease
The Environmental Burden of Disease is part of the Global Burden of Disease methodology originally developed by the WHO and others. To use EBD estimates in Germany for environmental and health policy prioritisation, it is important to review them and to develop recommendations for adjustments that better reflect the German context. This project will conduct this review and aims to derive specific proposals for adjustments.

Forgive, Let Go, and Live, the latest book from Deborah Smiths Pegues, is highlighted in the February issue of Simple Grace. Deborah took time out of her busy schedule to share with us how a simple law of physics helps her to banish doubt.
"I practice a theory that I learned in physics: No two forms of matter can occupy the same space at the same time," Deborah says. "Well, doubt and declarations of God's Word can't occupy my mind at the same time. Therefore, I have an arsenal of Scriptures that I've memorized and personalized to address issues that arise in the major aspects of my life. For example, when anxiety tries to creep in, I'll declare: 'The peace of God is surpassing my understanding and is keeping my heart and my mind'—a personalized declaration of Philippians 4:7."
See more of Deborah in the February issue of Simple Grace, on sale now at stores nationwide. You can also check out her latest book, Forgive, Let Go, and Live, a road map to forgiveness through true stories of people just like you.

The following is an update on the National Transportation Safety Board's investigation of US Airways flight 1549, which ditched into the Hudson River on January 15, 2009.
The left (#1) engine, which was recovered from the Hudson River on January 23 and subsequently shipped to the manufacturer in Cincinnati where the NTSB is directing a teardown, was found to contain bird remains. The organic material found in the right (#2) engine has also been confirmed to be bird remains. The material from both engines has been sent to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington where the particular bird species will be identified.
As part of its investigation into this accident, the NTSB investigated an engine surge event that occurred in the right (#2) engine during a flight on January 13, two days prior to the accident. The engine recovered from the surge and the remainder of the flight was completed uneventfully. The NTSB determined that the surge was due to a faulty temperature sensor, which was replaced by maintenance personal following approved procedures. After the engine was examined with a boroscope and found to be undamaged and in good working order, the aircraft was returned to service.
On December 31, 2008, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an Airworthiness Directive (AD) covering all CFM56-5B series turbofan engines, the same type that was on the accident aircraft. After examining the engine maintenance records and interviewing relevant personnel, the NTSB determined that all of the requirements of the AD were complied with prior to the accident flight.
During the accident flight, the flight data recorder revealed no anomalies or malfunctions in either engine up to the point where the captain reported a bird strike, after which there was an uncommanded loss of thrust in both engines.
Last week the aircraft was moved from the barge where it had been docked in Jersey City, NJ, to a secure salvage yard in Kearny, NJ, where it will remain throughout the NTSB investigation, which is expected to last 12-18 months.

A tiling job is not only about picking a pretty-to-look-at tile and getting through with it. For your home to get real grandeur, your tiles ought to be fixed to your floor like Lois Lane was fixed to Superman. Of course, that's the reason we use tile adhesives.
But wait cowboy, it isn't buying time just yet. Each type of tile is suited to a new type of adhesive. You can't make use of the same adhesive for two different varieties of tiles. It's impossible excluding one brand, i.e. Davco. It's been Australia's top tile adhesive for ages now and every year the, number of customers just keeps on adding.
Davco is No. 1, not because it's one of the only trustworthy adhesive in Australia but also since it is a really high-quality glue. With its products like Powder Mastic and Ultraflex, Davco has demonstrated to Australia that their merchandise is out of this world.
But as they say, "greatness inspires imitation". There are many of cheap alternatives doing rounds across the nation and individuals are purchasing it. After all, who could resist saving a quick buck? But what you don't realize is that purchasing cheap alternatives is equivalent to jeopardizing the homes.
So, we at Tile Factory Outlet, came out with a simple solution: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Instead of selling cheap alternatives to our valuable customers, we chose to place their happiness ahead of our profit and are making the real deal at around the same price as the cheaper brand! Now, everybody can enjoy top quality adhesive without having to burn a large hole in their pockets.
Tile Factory Outlet has a great range of quality tile adhesive at amazingly low prices. Visit them in their Sydney showroom or compare and buy tiles from their online store.

An oral-maxillofacial surgeon is a doctor that can provide solutions for your dental, facial and jaw reconstruction needs…
At SV Implant Centre located on the campus of St Vincent's Hospital in Fitzroy, we provide the skill and expertise of our visiting oral-maxillofacial surgeon, Dr Dragan Grubor. An oral-maxillofacial surgeon is a specialised area of dental work and requires the work of a qualified doctor. This surgeon can provide solutions for some the following concerns; facial trauma, jaw, oral, or facial cyst or tumour.
Why would I need to see an oral and maxillofacial surgeon?
You may be referred to an oral maxillofacial surgeon for any facial or jaw related condition, concern or treatment. Here at SV Implant Centre we require the service of an oral maxillofacial surgeon to place the implant for those patients who have little bone to work with or require any reconstruction during treatment. These surgeons are the only dental specialists that are trained to place bone grafts in areas that little bone exists. To ensure that your dental implant treatment is performed by a highly qualified professional it is recommended that the dental practice have an oral-maxillofacial surgeon for extra support and referral.

It's about receiving the best treatment
Here at SV Implant Centre we employ world class doctors and surgeons while using the top of the line implant fixtures.

As an internationally recognised implant technology company MIS implants provide a product that not only does the job but does it best!
The importance of seeking treatment for your missing teeth
Your missing teeth can influence the entire structure of your mouth and if they need replacing should be considered a priority. During your consultation with our team of professionals we will assess your mouth to determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment and begin the planning for your implant procedure. While alternatives such as crowns and bridges may sound appealing it should be noted that these solutions do not provide the security that is provided by dental implants. This dental solution is surgically placed into your jaw to act as an artificial tooth root meaning it not only looks natural but feels like your natural teeth also.
