Now is that unique time of year when the British media giants begin the annual poppy witch-hunt. Everyone has to wear one, regardless of who you are or where you came from and anyone who dares refuse is scorned or labelled as a traitor. Branded with the same contempt as if they had declared loyalty to Bin-Laden himself.
I always remember one incident from a few years back which started me off on my own rigorous reflections on what the true symbolism behind the red poppy is and why the red poppy symbol has caused such a debate in modern day society. I sat and watched the deeply adored British actress Barbara Windsor during a Sky news interview in 2015. She was asked by the news host what she would say to those people who don't want to wear a poppy? Barbara replied: "They can go and sod off for all I care," with a look of foul disgust on her face. The Sky News presenter Sarah-Jane Mee - who had been interviewing Barbara about her support for the Royal British Legions Poppy campaign - found it all very amusing. She responded (while laughing) "We get the sentiment". Sarah-Jane found Barbara's childish response very amusing, I, however, did not.
I have several ancestors stemming from various branches of my family tree who went off to fight and (in some cases) die in WW1. My great grandfather from my mother's side of the family, Herbert George Grubb, fought in the so-called 'Great War', tasked with the highly important but equally dangerous task of carrying messages from trench-to-trench along the front lines. He performed so admirably he was mentioned in dispatches for his gallant bravery, an honour he did not receive without great personal cost. My great grandfather Grubb survived the war but was left appallingly scarred across his belly for the rest of his life – badly injured while performing his patriotic duties.
His daughter (my nana Marge) told me that he never spoke about how he was injured or of what actually happened during that terrible war. "He was a Victorian man," my nan told me, "Men (in those days) didn't talk about things like that, ESPECIALLY not to kids". I never had the honour of meeting my great grandad, he died before I was born, but my nan did tell me there was one form of subtle conduct which he did do while he was alive, in reference to the legacy of the war – he refused to wear the red poppy. My great grandfather Grubb, an honoured war hero, even went as far as to refuse to attend major public armistice day remembrance services throughout his life, until his death in 1963. This was a man who had literally paid in flesh and blood on the battlefields in Belgium, yet, his stance on the red poppy would be enough, according to some, to label him a disgrace. If he were alive today, should I have told my honoured great-grandfather to go "sod off" for not backing the poppy propaganda parade? Would 'TV sweat-heart' and one-time mobster's wife Barbara Windsor have told my war-weary ancestor to "sod off" if he were here today to argue his case?
My Great Grandad refused to wear the poppy – along with many other veterans who served during WW1 & WW2 – because he resented how remembrance day had become so deeply politicised; turned into a theatre show for elitist politicians to portray themselves as caring about what happened to the millions of slain working-class men, which the very same establishment they now represent sent them off to the legalised slaughter which was the war in Europe of 1914-1918. The epic bloodbath on the western-front would later go on to be called the 'Great War', the war to end all wars. How naïve they were.
On the graves of dead soldiers buried in Belgium, row-upon-row on thousands of tombstones, it's written: "A soldier of the Great War". When I visited the seemingly endless graveyards, crammed full of the dead from both wars, I found myself wondering, if I had the chance to ask these mostly working-class "Tommy's", sent to die in the millions from across the empire (One of my great grandfathers among them) would they have considered themselves glorious soldiers of a so-called Great War? They "gave their lives" is what we are now told but the fact is their lives were not given, they were taken.
In that same miserable war, not everyone who was sent off to fight even ended up being killed by the enemy! Some of our lads (while wearing British uniforms) were imprisoned and court-martialled for cowardice, a sentence which in most cases ended with the accused being tied to a post and shot at dawn. A punishment designed to stop what the military leadership deemed to be cowards abandoning their patriotic duty, when in reality, most were suffering from a condition not recognised during the early 1900's but known today as shell shock – a phycological disorder which can affect anyone after a major mental trauma caused from being on the front lines of a war zone.
I have seen with my own eyes, the courtyard in the town centre of Ypres in Belgium which was used to shoot the "cowards" of WW1. The bullet holes can still be seen today the brick wall behind which the large wooden execution post had once stood. We apparently know better nowadays but despite these costly mistakes of our past, all well recorded in our history, the lessons of that war have not been carried the on. I still see the same vile and odious attitude towards the Poppy run-aways that media-led public opinion and the establishment of the early 1900's would have shown towards those poor Tommy's shot for cowardice when, in fact, they were suffering from a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Those who died during WW1 largely died fighting in a war they would rather not have fought or died in at all. The soldiers who did refuse to fight, in what is now remembered as an industrial scale waste of innocent human life, were mocked, ridiculed and labelled as traitors by the same media and political establishment that once again now labels anyone who dares challenge the currently warped legacy of 'The Red Poppy' as unpatriotic. The Poppy was once our peoples symbol of remembrance for the costly mistakes of the establishment which led to the unnecessary deaths of so many lower-class men and women but now the Poppy symbol, which was supposed to serve as a timeless reminder of what horror wars bring humanity, has become more of a figurative message for establishment sanctioned repression and public obedience to right-wing propaganda. A hard fact to swallow for some but with so many war heroes openly critical of the Poppy symbolism and with over a third of 18-25-year-olds choosing not to wear the hypocritical red poppy the debate surrounding the legacy of this powerful British symbol must be scrutinised.
Another ancestor of mine, my great-great-grandfather Herbert French was also a British veteran of the First World War, alas, he did not return home. He was buried near where he fell, close to the town of Ypres in Belgium. The blood of my ancestors soaked the ground which today now feeds the wild red & white poppy flowers that grow in the fields around Ypres. Herbert French fought at the strategically vital city of Ypres located near the French border, it was one of the last major allied strongholds which stopped Germany from a complete takeover of all Belgium. Tens of thousands of men from both sides of no-mans land would die in the numerous senseless battles which would take place throughout the war. The battle of Passchendaele, a notorious slaughter which took place at Ypres, was known as the "The battle of mud" (due to the amount of rainfall which turned the battlefield into a massive muddy death trap) and lasted for 90 days with at least 3000 British soldiers losing their lives each day. Dying on mass to save a small town from falling into enemy hands. My great-grandfather was among the hundreds of thousands who went on to lose their lives to win a battle that was later dubbed a "senseless campaign". By the time my great grandfather was killed, Ypres was practically non-existent as a town; the entire area, including the famous St Martin's Cathedral which stands tall and proud at the centre of town, had long since been flattened by relentless German artillery shelling soon after the two armies first arrived at the town in October 1914. Passchendaele has left us many historical legacies all of them more horrific than the last.
Our generation is guilty of imposing qualities on the dead that in life they never would have wanted to have. You don't have to read much WW1 poetry to discover that the thousands of men who were sent to fight in one of history's most disastrous conflicts did not want to be stuck in a putrid trench somewhere they had never been before on mainland Europe, neither did they want to die for a cause which was described as if it was a sport by the upper-class British establishment for whom the working class already resented before the war began. Most who were forced to live in those conditions which would usually only be fit for the rats they now shared their damp and soggy trench habitat with wanted to go home, to live a life and to see their mothers, family and friends again. These men wanted life but death is what they got - mud, death and more mud.
War was made to appear fun, adventurous and above all "great" but the war itself would later prove this was not the case to a nation who, until then, had only heard of what war was like from Victorian-era British imperialist propaganda. All of Europe saw for the first time first-hand the true horrors of modern industrial warfare; the lies of the elite were broken, but now, in our lifetime those same lies of war are being restored.
Tony Blair sent us into a war in Iraq which was based on lies. As a result of his decision, more British soldiers died in a war which could have been so easily avoided. War crimes, massive loss of life (particularly for the civilians of Iraq) and billions of pounds spent on the failed state of Iraq have still not been enough to holt our Westminster parliament's blood-lusting battle cries. Our political class have been so desperate to start a war with Syria and bomb the country whenever the possibility arises since the civil war began and our MP's, from both sides of the house, have stood by our blood-soaked relationship with Saudi Arabia, despite the overwhelming evidence of war crimes being committed in Yemen by our long-time ally Saudi Arabia. Our government continues to send weapons to aid brutal tyrants that go on to murder children and our involvement in the Libyan crisis, Bahrain's state oppression of their population and our never-ending enthusiasm to escalate against Iran are all examples of our establishments modern day thirst for war. It is as if we are spitting in the face of those who gave their lives to fight in the "War to end all wars" - how many wars have we in the West been involved in since 1918?
I completely agree with the argument that the red poppy has become politicised by a corrupt and opportunistic political class which most of whom have no right to wear the poppy which, as far as I'm concerned, should stand as a reminder that war is costly, not in monetary terms but human life. This is a free country after all; a freedom paid for by the blood of my ancestors and millions of other men & women who fought in WW1 & WW2, so I will always stand by people's freedom to choose to wear or not to wear the red poppy but what really concerns me is that the legacy of this powerful international symbol has been hijacked by an establishment who have, and will in future, continue to continuously use the same lies and make the same mistakes as those that led to the nation crippling 1914-1918 war.
Our great British media was quick to attack its own famous British Channel 4 journalists Jon Snow in the past for choosing not to allow himself to be forced to wear the red poppy by the media propaganda brown shirts but when one of Britain's biggest conmen, Tony Blair, befouled the legacy of what the poppy once stood for by having the gall to wearing one after it was his lies that took us into Iraq have been revealed, the media is largely silent.
These same MP's, backed by our warmongering media giants, are eager to start wars and send the loved ones of others to fight in some God-forsaken conflict that makes no sense in some faraway brown persons country but would those who propagate and vote for war be so eager to start one if they also had to volunteer themselves and lay down their lives for Queen and country? The answer is a definite no.
While the answer remains a no, the poppy should be off limits to pro-war MP's. If you are brave enough to vote for a war you better be brave enough to send your kids or loved ones to the front, like millions of our ancestors did - for a war that really mattered, not just for profit but to liberate an oppressed peoples.
I will never stop wearing my red poppy, my British "stiff upper lip" won't allow me to surrender my poppy, which connects me to my long lost ancestry, but I do promise to fight, in what little way I can, for the true legacy of the war and I encourage others to help real patriots like myself who hate war and want our brave heroes who defend this country to be kept alive. My ambition is to wrestle the poppy symbolism away from political warmongers like Blair, Cameron, May and Boris who will undoubtedly be wearing their red poppies this year, as they always do, regardless of the deadly legacies that they all leave behind. The poppy should be an anti-establishment symbol, one that holds corrupt politicians and sell-out media giants to account for the costly lies that can lead to more loss of innocent lives in other meaningless wars. That is why I will also be wearing my white poppy this year, with the word "peace" written in the centre.
The red poppy cannot and should not be allowed to remain a symbol of state warmongering propaganda nor can we allow the red poppy to be used by the media as a means of oppression against others who have chosen not to wear the state-sponsored symbol which has been left ravaged by years of manipulation. We, the British people, must liberate the red poppy from the claws of hypocrites and use its powerful message of remembrance to truly honour the many lives lost due to political incompetence and the moral corruption of our leaders which lead us to war so many times in the history of our rich island.
I'll end with a quote from the late Harry Patch who was Britain's last remaining Tommy who also fought at the battle of Passchendaele. Harry passed away on the 25th July 2009 aged 111.
"I felt then, as I feel now, that the politicians who took us to war should have been given guns and told to settle their differences themselves, instead of organising nothing better than legalised mass murder."

A few days ago I heard on the news that they are planning a trip to Mars. I thought, "How stupid."
That mission will cost billions and billions of dollars. For what? There are highways and bridges in this country that are in deplorable shape. Why not get those bridges and highways fixed?
A couple of years ago I read a story in the paper about a school bus driver up in Wisconsin who had the kids get off of the bus and then drove the bus across the bridge, then had the kids walk across the bridge to get back on the bus. That is really bad.
I feel that having our highways and bridges fixed is a lot more important than a trip to Mars.

In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "An Extreme Tale."
"it was the best of times, it was the worst of times" – when did this last reflect your life.
It would be easy to use your first experience of love and heartache in response to this prompt, but I don't want easy, nor do i want to bore readers with my everyday love story.
I would say my approach to this one is slightly lighter hearted than many other will respond. As the "worst of times" I am going to describe are by no means the hardest you will read about, nor that I have experienced but certainly not the nicest.
University.. so many have been there, so many have done it, and not every walked away with the t-shirt. Luckily I did, I got the Hons Degree.. that what you go for right ?.
In my case, wrong. I went to university because I left school without any idea what i wanted to do with my life. My parents, more so my mum, suggested Uni, saying that I would love it, theres a great social aspect, you are developing and working towards something.
My degree isn't one of the best in the country, far from it, I don't even work in the industry just now, however, the people I met, and the lessons I learned, most certainly were some of the best. No other course that we shared classes with or came to know were as close as ours, we took on the student life as a group, we never missed a night out and we had no problems skipping a class or two if it meant getting together and having a laugh and a drink.
Some of the people, became couples, some best friends. We laughed together, we cried together, we went abroad together, we went to funerals together, we were close.
I lived at home through my Uni days, but it became a second home. Many of my Uni group relocated to the city for University so had student accommodation ( now theres something I could tell stories about) , so we all tended to stay there most of the week.
We sacrificed real meals for super noodles because it meant we could afford nights out together. They truly were the best times of my life. We were living a dream and yes eventually we had to work both to afford the lifestyle and to achieve our degrees, but the thought of four years of this was a welcomed one.
But we forgot, overlooked one thing. It would all end. Eventually there would be nominee classes, no more flat parties, no more leaving parties at 8am to go to lectures. The course was finished and exams were sat. The rent had been paid, and it was time to go home for most.
Some disappeared , off the radar, not to be heard from regular enough to know about their lives. It is a sad thought, that we can't still call a night out on the same day, or skip work to get a train down to the beach in summer.
I still work in the city, and walk through it every night after work. I see groups of students filling bars, filling our shoes. Its both the most wonderful of memory, but most horrible of thoughts, that we can never go back to those simple times again. Those days are over.
Thats why those are both the best times I have had, and also the worst.
I urge all that are about to embark on the university journey, to do it right, to do it hard and do not regret missing out on anything. It is truly the most incredible few years of a very long and up and down life. Live it !

It's Friday!!! We've had a fun, full week. We're winding down the week with some fun activities to keep us busy. Jason's percussion class is always a hit, and everyone is having a ball! It's a great way to start the morning and wake us all up!
In Natasha's exploring new materials class, we always learn new things and get to experiment a bit. Today we were working on relief pictures with newspaper and molding paste. Sound complicated? Well that's because Natasha just has a complicated mind. She was able to walk us through the steps so we could finish our pieces, and we got some really nice ones from the class.
Finally, don't forget about gallery stroll tonight! We have some beautiful pieces on display this month, and will also have some of our calendars for sale at the stroll if you want to snag a few more.

My strategy is philosophically simple (but behaviorally hard) and inspired by the ideas of Benjamin Graham. I purchase common stocks that I believe are trading at a discount to their intrinsic value. I do not utilize leverage of any kind. I don't sell short. As John Maynard Keynes put it, "Markets can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent". With a long position that isn't leveraged, I can wait out irrationality. That isn't an option when you are short or using borrowed money to buy stocks. The issues I purchase generally fit into the below overlapping categories.
- Companies with high earnings yields (low P/E ratios). I prefer companies and industries that make people either yawn or recoil. My preferred measure of value is simple: the inverse of the P/E ratio, or "earnings yield". As Ben Graham recommended, I buy companies when their yield doubles that of a AAA corporate bond. In addition to low P/E's and high earnings yields, I also prefer stocks with low valuation metrics such as price/sales and enterprise value/operating income.
- Companies that are conservatively financed. I tend to prefer firms that have a debt to equity ratio that is below 50%. For larger capitalization stocks, I will tolerate a bit more leverage (around 100%). If a company is utilizing significant leverage, they may be able to produce great results in the short run, but one mistake will kill the firm. I believe that the best way to minimize the risk of the portfolio is to focus on the balance sheets of the companies in the portfolio. Debt is danger.
- Spin-offs. I will sometimes pursue spin-off special situations if the idea hits me over the head and the investment has an acceptable margin of safety.
- Companies that trade below their liquidation value. Sometimes companies will trade at a significant discount to their liquidation value. This strategy can be extremely risky at an individual level, so it is best to buy them in sufficient quantities. They are typically only available in large numbers during recessions.
- Companies that are based in the United States. I shy away from international investments. I understand GAAP accounting principles. I trust the SEC will limit most but not all accounting shenanigans. I generally have an optimistic view on the long-term economic prospects of the United States economy. We have our problems, but who doesn't? I am sure that there are amazing value opportunities in other markets, but I stick to what I know and what I have the time to research.
- Country indexes with low CAPE ratios. While I won't invest in individual foreign companies for the reasons described above, in October of 2017 I decided to devote a portion of my portfolio to entire country indexes that currently have low CAPE ratios. My thinking on this subject is covered in this blog post. I thought it was important to get some international diversification while US stocks are at extremely high valuations and this was an efficient way to do so. It also helps me remain within a deep value style (i.e., I'm buying countries instead of companies that are trading at "cigar butt" prices.)

Hypertension caused by preeclampsia can adversely affect the fetus by causing constriction of the placental arteries. Arterial constriction may result in severe reduction in the blood flow to areas of the placenta. If the blood flow remains constricted, areas of the placenta may "die", putting the baby in distress.

Do You Have What It Takes
Congrats to Award Winners
We had food and games and lots of time to talk with friends during our 2012 Awards Picnic. Oh yeah, and we handed out some awards.
Here's a full list of award winners:
Commissioner's Award: Don Hough
Commissioner's Distinguished Service Award: Lori Bish
Rookie of the Year: Steven Choi
Slow Pitch Award: Alex Momb
High School Umpire of the Year: Steve Sax
President's Award: Kayleen Dunson
Umpire of the Year: Gerald St. Clair
Congratulations to everyone!
We also had plenty of good food, an annual egg toss (won by Dean Fitzsimmons and Mark Jordan – check out their photo on the SMSUA Facebook page), a water balloon toss (and subsequent "fight"), and a relay race where kids had to don full umpire uniform and equipment.
A huge thank you to Erin Peterson, Megan Rabin, and Wally Chocklon for organizing the picnic, cooking the food, and making sure we had awards to hand out this year.
We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
Welcome to our new UIC!
It is with great pleasure that I announce the appointment of Kayleen Dunson as Seattle Tacoma ASA Umpire-In-Chief effective September 4, 2012. Kayleen has not only proven herself as an outstanding umpire on the field but equally as important off the field as well. Kayleen has umpired in five ASA National Championships, attended two National Umpire Schools and an ASA advanced camp. She has served on the SMSUA Board since 2005 with the last two years as vice president. Her passion for the game and desire to train all umpires makes her an exciting choice for all of us. Please join me in congratulating Kayleen.
Kayleen replaces Lori Bish who has done an outstanding job over the last three years. Lori has provided many opportunities for umpires to attend national tournaments and has strengthened our exchange program. Please join me in thanking Lori for her time and job well done over the last three years.
Mike Rabin
Seattle Tacoma Commissioner
Please join us in congratulating Kayleen and sending out a huge thank you to Lori!

"There needs to be some RELEASE of the ego in order for you to be receptive to the power that is latent in music or art, art that was created from that deeper place beyond the human ego requires us to surrender to it, in order to receive it fully.
There's a lot of music and art that's not necessarily created from that deep place and that's about the ego trying to be clever.
But let's talk about some piece of music or work of art that comes out of a connectedness with "Stillness, or Presence." To some extent, that work of art or that piece of music still carries that divine energy field that can put a person in touch with the deeper dimensions within.
All artists, whether they know it or not create from a place of inner stillness, a place of "no mind.""

A Brief History of the Bodleian LibraryBy: Mary Clapinson (author)Paperback
Only 2 in stock
DescriptionThe Bodleian Library was founded in 1602 at the University of Oxford. It is one of the oldest libraries in Britain, the first library to request a `copyright' edition of every book published in English and its original, beautiful seventeenth-century rooms are still in use today. Spanning over four hundred years, this succinct account, illustrated with historical prints, portraits of formidable librarians and photographs of some of the Library's most treasured items, traces the development of the Bodleian's superb collections and historic buildings from its foundation by Sir Thomas Bodley to the celebration of the quatercentenary of its opening. Each chapter reveals fascinating details about the lives and eccentricities of the people who have shaped the development of the Library, including Bodley's vision that it would serve the `republic of the learned', Charles I's request to borrow a book, the story of how the Library came to have not one, but two editions of Shakespeare's First Folio and the fiasco surrounding King George VI's opening of the New Bodleian in 1946. In addition, this book chronicles the perennial search for more space, including the use of underground passages, as the number of books continued to grow, totalling over 11 million by the twenty-first century. It shows how the physical expansion of the Library, from the acquisition of the Radcliffe Camera to the building of individual subject libraries across Oxford, is part of the story of how the Library came to be the world-renowned institution it is today.
About AuthorMary Clapinson was Keeper of Western Manuscripts at the Bodleian from 1986 to 2002 and is an Emeritus Fellow of St Hugh's College, Oxford.

One of the things I haven't gotten around to yet is making my own laundry or hand soap. This week at Rural King they have all the ingredients on sale for making your own laundry soap. So I bought them all. $14 later, I will have enough soap to fill a 5 gallon bucket and last forever. Wahoo!! :) I plan on making this sometime this week so it can sit for a few days while we're on vacation (yes, you read that right! VACATION!!), even though it only requires 24 hours to sit.
I originally found out about the sale on The Frugal Family which is a blog that's written by Misty, a mom that lives in Central Illinois and keeps up on couponing and sales. Much easier for me to follow her blog, than scour the ads each week and compare :) Thanks, Misty!!!
I'll post the "recipe" for the laundry soap once I have it made, since I may tweak the one she has posted.
Has anyone else ever made homemade laundry or hand soap? Do you any tips or pointers I need to know about?? Let me know, please!!!

Geneva, Switzerland (PANA) - At least 52 people died after a boat carrying around 180 refugees and migrants sank off the coast of Tunisia on Saturday, the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, has said.
In a statement the UN Refugee Agency expressed deep sadness at this latest tragedy in the Mediterranean Sea adding that it concerned about the high number of people dying on the Central Mediterranean route with over 700 dead or missing so far in 2018.
According to Tunisian officials, the boat departed from Melita in the Kerkennah Islands on Saturday night, heading in the direction of the Italian coast.
UNHCR said two hours into the journey, the overcrowded boat broke down and began to sink. According to official sources, the boat was 16 nautical miles off the coast of Sfax when it sent a distress signal.
Local fishermen initiated the rescue and alerted the Tunisian Navy and the coast guard. The coast guard rescued 68 people and found 52 dead but had to halt their search and rescue operation on Saturday afternoon due to bad weather. Some 60 people are missing at sea and presumed dead. According to reports, two smugglers were arrested in connection with the incident.
UNHCR said it is undertaking profiling and counselling of the survivors and assessing their protection needs, adding that this recent incident is part of broader mixed migration movement involving both refugees and migrants in the coastal area around the city of Sfax, 270 kilometers southeast of the capital Tunis.
There are 851 refugees and 109 asylum-seekers registered with UNHCR in Tunisia. UNHCR said it endeavours to achieve durable solutions for refugees and other alternative legal pathways, such as private sponsorship, family reunification and naturalisation.
In 2017, UNHCR supported the voluntary repatriation of five refugees, the resettlement of seven families (21 individuals) and the naturalization of seven cases. In addition, five individuals left under a private sponsorship scheme.

Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts
This is my nephew Eric's favourite appetizer and I can't blame him - everything is better wrapped in bacon. Use 2 small or one large can of water chestnuts - usually about 30 or 32 chestnuts. Make sure you buy the whole water chestnuts - I made a mistake this time and bought sliced so I had to use 3 slices to make one chestnut - just a little more fiddly to assemble. Drain them and soak them in soy sauce for at least 20 minutes. Soak your toothpicks in water for at least 20 minutes too so they won't burn in the oven. I always soak a few more toothpicks than water chestnuts in case any splinter.
Next you need to partially cook a pound of bacon. You need half a slice of bacon for each water chestnut. The bacon needs to be cooked just enough that it can be wrapped around the chestnut without crumbling.
Pour a cup or so of white sugar into a bowl and dredge each chestnut in the sugar before wrapping it with bacon and securing with a toothpick. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place your chestnuts on a rimmed cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
You can serve them right out of the oven but I'm usually making them to take to someone else's party so I put them in a casserole. This can then be microwaved for 2 or 3 minutes til hot. These are amazingly good. So give them a try - even if you think they sound a bit disgusting - you'll be surprised.

hearing and the deaf swimming together
2 comments:

Glad to see the pool is up and running! Looks like a lot of fun!
Nolan had discovered that if he plugs his ears, he is totally deaf (he goes from a 50dB threshold to something like 75dB with the conductive component). He spent a long time in the car plugging his ears, then unplugging them with a look of amazement. Let's just hope that he doesn't figure out how to use that when I'm trying to lecture him, lol!

Not only does Brayden pull his coils off when he's tired of Kenzee, he also does it in crowds and when we're getting on to him. He also mastered the eyes cover up so he doesn't have to read our lips or see us sign.

The elections in Bihar are a litmus test for Janta Dal (U) leader and present Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who is regarded as the harbinger of a 'change' that has begun to sweep one of the most backward states of India.
Nitish's swearing-in as Chief Minister after 2005 Assembly elections was seen as a turning point in the political history of Bihar and also marked the beginning of a new era. The people of Bihar pinned a lot of hopes on this qualified engineer, who is no stranger to caste-ridden politics.
In the past four and half years, the Nitish government took various initiatives to fasten the pace of development in the state and worked with vigour to remove the `backward` tag of Bihar. A bitter war of words has now started between the Centre and the state government to take credit for the development which the state has seen in the past four plus years.
After becoming the Chief Minister, he worked in the directions of making Bihar a developed state and creating 'Brand Bihar' by announcing sops for big corporate houses to invest here.
In a bid to woo the crucial votes of the minority community in Bihar, the CM announced scholarships for Muslims. His government provided reservations for Muslims, Mahadalits and the Extremely Backward Castes both at the panchayat level and in government jobs.
Nitish's government took various measures to strengthen the dilapidated health sector of the state and despatched thousands of doctors to serve in primary health centres across Bihar. In the education sector, the government launched a special recruitment drive to appoint thousands of teachers for primary schools across the state and arranged for timely disbursment of their salaries.
The JD-(U) leader's popularity went to dizzying heights after he launched a scheme to provide bicycles for girls so that they could travel to their educational institutes without any hassles.
Improving the faltering infrastructure has been the top priority of his government as several construction projects have come up, many new roads connecting cities to remote villages have been made and numerous bridges built.
The most important achievement of Nitish government has been its crackdown on the rising crime rate in Bihar. The CM showed a lot of guts by re-opening the Bhagalpur riot cases and ensured that the accused were put behind bars.
Nitish was born in Bakhtiarpur and his father Kaviraj Ram Lakhan Singh was a noted freedom fighter. His family was close to a great Gandhian leader, Anugrah Narayan Sinha who is regarded as the founder of modern Bihar. He holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from the Bihar College of Engineering, now NIT Patna.
Nitish was actively involved in Jayaprakash Narayan`s movement between 1974 and 1977. He first entered the Bihar Legislative Assembly in 1985 as an Independent. In 1987, he was made the president of the Yuva Lok Dal. Two years later, he was appointed as the secretary-general of the Janata Dal in Bihar. The year also saw him entering the 9th Lok Sabha for the first time.
He has, in the past, held several portfolios as a Union Minister under various governments. In 1989, Nitish served as the Union Minister of State for Agriculture in Prime Minister V P Singh's government.
In 1991, he was re-elected to the Lok Sabha and became general gecretary of the Janata Dal at the national level and the deputy leader of the party in Parliament.
He represented Barh parliamentary constituency (Bihar) in the Lok Sabha between 1989 and 2004. He briefly served as the Union Minister for Railways and Minister for Surface Transport and then as the Minister for Agriculture in 1998-99.
In August 1999, he resigned following the railway accident at Gaisal in North East India.
Later that year, he rejoined the Cabinet as Union Minister for Agriculture. From 2001 to May 2004 he served as the Union Cabinet Minister for Railways in the NDA Government.
In the 2004 Lok Sabha elections he contested elections from two constituencies, Barh and Nalanda. He was elected from Nalanda but lost from his traditional constituency, Barh. He was then the leader of the Janata Dal (United) Parliamentary Party in the Lok Sabha.
He is currently member of the Legislative Council of Bihar.
There is no doubt that Nitish Kumar's leadership has brought paradigm shift in the lives of millions of poor people of the state and it is for all these reasons that the reformer of modern Bihar is seeking a second term to continue with his agenda of development and progress.

The Presidency yesterday debunked a media report that the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, is ill again.
The report claimed that this was why she would not accompany the President to South Africa and Namibia this month.
In a statement, Dame Jonathan's media aide, Ayo Osinlu, said the claim "is untrue and aimed at misleading Nigerians".
It reads: "The report is untrue. It is the creation of the wicked expectations of Sahara Reporters and those who pay their bills. For the avoidance of doubt, the First Lady is not an official of the Federal Government of Nigeria and is not under any obligation to be part of every foreign trip made by her husband as part of his statutory duties.
"The first family is, therefore, at liberty to determine what trips they make together. Meanwhile, the mischief behind this online medium's sudden worry that the First Lady is not part of the President's trip abroad is betrayed by the fact that the same medium led its allied choristers to belly-ache in the past about the frequency of her presence by her husband's side on official engagements outside the country.
"The question is: What exactly does Sahara Reporters and its sponsors want? We assure all people of goodwill in Nigeria as well as the First Lady's well wishers beyond that this report is false. It is a wicked expectation that God has already defeated.
"The First Lady effectively participated in the National Conference on 100 years of the Nigerian Woman, which she hosted as a component of the country's centenary celebration in Lagos on April 18 and 19.
"Last Friday, she presided over the inauguration of the Nigerian Prisons Staff School, built in Abuja by the Prisons Officers' Wives Association (PROWA).
"She will be the keynote speaker at the Religious, Traditional and Adolescents Leaders Conference, which is part of the inauguration of the National Strategy for the Prevention of Teenage Pregnancy in Sierra Leone, next week."

"This new regeneration of yours - kind of cheeky."
Some of that myth-building didn't work so well, and I'm thinking specifically here of the "You are not alone"/Yana thing. Two faults: it made no sense within the context of the story (could've just left it as a wink and a nod to the fans at home and gotten away with it), and it was hammered home with gross unsubtlety. Then I pick up today's Radio Times and find them proving that "Mister Saxon" actually is "Master no. six", although you have to fudge it a bit (and typically, poor old Gordon Tipple who appeared in shadow in the TV Movie pre-credits doesn't get a look in). What galls isn't that online fan theories are being proven right - it's that it's the really cheesy theories that are being proven right.
Let's move right along to the Master himself. I have a beef with the Master, and it's basically the same as my beef with the Daleks. "We need a villain for this story." "Oh, let's wheel out the Master again, he hasn't had his yearly dusting-off yet. And besides, 'everybody knows he's the Doctor's greatest enemy', chiz chiz." (Edit #1: And let me just make clear, I'm talking Old Who here. Old Who worked that whole nemesis schtick into the ground. New Who is allowed to try it once, and we'll see how it goes. I can only applaud RTD's restraint in waiting three years to do it.)
The Master was a corny rent-a-villain even in the first year he showed up, when they shoe-horned him into every single Who story of 1971, and yet there was actually a point to him back then. As anyone who's read a Who reference work will know, the Buddhism-loving producer brought in this destructive personification of the Doctor's id in order to set up a finger-cymbal-tinging revelatory showdown in Jon Pertwee's final story, a plan that fell through when Roger Delgado sadly died between seasons. And so the Master just disappeared for a while, a loose end for later producers to bring back whenever they were short of a cliched cackling megalomaniac with no credible motive to drive that week's story.
Not that I don't enjoy Delgado's suavity or Ainley's hammy purring now and then, you understand. Sometimes I even enjoy Dalek stories. But it's just too easy, with any recurring villain, to hang a story solely off their reappearance rather than tell a good story that happens to have them in it, and that way mediocrity lies. It's a little worrying, therefore, to watch an episode of New Who that's pretty much hung off the reintroduction of the Master. Now I'm prepared to keep an open mind for the next two weeks because there's every reason to suppose that Russell T Davies will find something interesting and new to do with the Master the first time he uses him (it's the second and subsequent times I'd worry about), because it's the season finale and I have faith in RTD to pull it out of the bag, and because John Simm shows promise in the role.
Positive things now. Derek Jacobi was wonderful as lovely old Professor Yana. Thing is, I do largely associate him with roles of the "lovely old" variety (Claudius, Brother Cadfael), so I was a bit unsure of him as the Master. He handled the transition between the two very well, though. His humanoid weevil assistant was good too - I'm prepared to let the "Chan, tho" stuff go on the basis that it's a cultural etiquette thing. John Simm certainly looks like he'll have fun with the part over the next couple of episodes. Quick fannish moment - it's been said that the Doctor's regenerations can be affected by whatever's around him beforehand. (Edit #2: I was pretty sure this was said explicitly in the new series, possibly in the Children in Need skit or else in New Earth. But I don't have a copy of New Earth owing to it being not very good, and I haven't yet had time to check the skit on Youtube (Bonus Edit: Now I have, and it isn't there, dammit.), so I don't absolutely definitely know. If it wasn't said outright in the series, it should've been, 'cos it's a great fan theory that's been doing the rounds for some considerable time.) So Doctor Tennant is more like his Cockernee companion than Doctor Eccles. Does it also explain the Fourth Doctor's alien, skittish mind that the Third Doctor spent his final hour in a room with a giant megalomaniac spider? So here we see the Master regenerate inside the Doctor's TARDIS, and blow me if he isn't acting a lot more Doctorish.
All things considered, I wouldn't call this one of the great episodes in its own right, but it makes the two-part finale look highly appetising. Excellent ending.

Every point seconded - thought it must be said that even Jacobi couldn't quite pull off the atrocious post-turning-evil dialogue he got lumbered with.
So - Daleks at the end of series 1, cybes at the end of series 2, Master at the end of 3 ... Professor Zaroff for 4, anyone?
- John Toon said...
Yes... "Shot by a girl - how inappropriate!" That certainly didn't help matters. Thing is, that's another problem I've had with the Master hitherto - people seem compelled to write the most appallingly cod "evil" dialogue for him. At least with Master Tyler ("I bumped my head and woke up at the end of the universe with my real personality in a pocket-watch. Am I dreaming, in a coma or the ultimate embodiment of evil?") it looks like they're going to turn him into a kind of fun maniac. Love that thumbs-up moment in the trailer for next week.
- John Toon said...
I've just read a lovely theory that the Master disguised himself as the kind of person the Doctor used to be (i.e. the kind of thing some fans were expecting to see when the show came back) - more mature character actor, Victorian/Edwardian clothing, cod dialogue, novelty alien companion. Which adds another level to him being pissed off to find out that the Doctor is now "young and strong" (and cheeky), and changing into something similar.
I think this fits the evidence quite nicely. He always had a gigantic case of Doctor envy, after all.
- Siskoid said...
I'm sorry John, but WHEN did Doctor 10 tell Rose regeneration was affected by his surroundings? I missed that bit. Help in spotting it much appreciated.
- John Toon said...
I think it was in the five-minute 'Children in Need' scene between series 1 and 2. I'm pretty sure, anyway.
