Even the shrink paid for Speaker's office staffer James Ashby's shadowy litigation funders think there's an issue with his curious behaviour in the workplace:
Associate Professor Phillips provided what he described as a "caveat" to his report. "The applicant on several occasions joined in a text conversation with the Speaker which was somewhat provocative and sexualised … I believe that it has to be said that at least at certain times the applicant added to the frission of the interchange."
Since the Ashby saga blew up, there have been multiple reports about his conduct that have demonstrated that he's certainly no stereotypical victim of sexual harassment. Far from being Peter Slipper's victim, it is clear that Peter Slipper is his victim. The victim of a well-orchestrated, deviously cunning, cynical political assassination that has used and misused legal process to achieve political ends.
While others can be political cheer-leaders about this issue, we think it's easy to find fault on both sides, including the Labor government's atrocious handling of the matter.
There's a highly curious report in The Australian with suggestions that public servants or lawyers engaged by the Commonwealth paid James Ashby $50,000 taxpayer dollars without the consent of elected officials:
Ms Roxon made the request to Mr Burnside after becoming furious about the speed and terms of the settlement that the Australian Government Solicitor's office and Mr Burnside negotiated. Last night, Mr Burnside said he "could not comment on anything to do with the case".
The commonwealth's initial offer of $50,000 was unexpectedly and immediately accepted by Mr Ashby's lawyers, Harmer's Workplace Lawyers, infuriating Ms Roxon, who had not been made aware that a final settlement had been reached.
We don't know what the Attorney knew and when she knew it but cutting this bloke Ashby a cheque in circumstances where his behaviour – as described by his own paid psychiatric expert (wheeled in to help make his case stand) and by many other published reports – is not consistent with the victim he initially attempted to represent himself to be seems very wrong to us.
In our opinion, it is an obscene waste of taxpayer money to give James Ashby any money, even a token amount. It gives the gutter-snipe a moral victory he clearly, on the evidence and published reports, does not deserve. It also leaves Speaker Slipper defending the claims against him on his own.
It's politically incomprehensible to leave the Speaker defending litigation against an unknown – and potentially unlimited – litigation funder who is behind James Ashby's highly expensive legal action. While he has got $50,000 of taxpayers' money, Ashby's legal expenses have been estimated to exceed $500,000. He is clearly not funding it himself and has refused to say who is other than generally denying receiving "external" monies. The Commonwealth says it spent $700,000. It's been a lawyer's picnic.
The motives of those behind Ashby's litigation are – based on all that – clearly not financial. At best, even assuming Ashby wins, a costs order against Slipper would not cover anything like the amount Ashby's backers have spent. In the absence of a financial motive, we're left speculating about political motives.
We have been surprised to discover that the taxpayers haven't been picking up Peter Slipper's legal bills, which reportedly run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is particularly surprising as Slipper didn't ever employ Ashby directly, the Commonwealth employed him, as a government employee, using taxpayer funds. It strikes us as an absurd situation that the federal government leaves individuals like MPs to pay for legal expenses of this kind. No senior public servant would ever be left in this position, Canberra's Sir Humphey Appleby's would choke on their soy latte at the suggestion. But politicians, it seems, are to be cut loose and left to fend for themselves about a matter that – ultimately is about the employment of a government employee who just happens to work with an MP.
This matter has been handled dreadfully. And whatever the rights or wrongs of it, a dangerous precedent has been set that makes any elected official vulnerable to spurious, smutty allegations, made by disgruntled staff, funded by those with a political axe to grind. Because the government hasn't picked up the tab, the precedent has been set that would have any MP not in a position to finance hundreds of thousands of dollars in legals squeezed out of office, using any manner of variations on the Ashby ploy.
Some of the loudest folk condemning Peter Slipper's unfortunate text messages – which are off-colour in part but not necessarily proof of sexual harassment at all – should take a careful look at what they email and text around themselves. There but for the grace of God go them.
UPDATE: Sources tell VEXNEWS that the number Ashby's lawyers cited in discussions with the Commonwealth as having been expended on legal costs is $1.2 million. Even allowing for traditional padding, that's a huge amount for anyone to fund.
Thanks to cases like this, the Australian legal system is exposed as the farce that it is.
God help us
Who cares.
If he takes Slippery Pete down it will be worth it.
Who cares?
Old Slippery couldn't help himself, he's had the free cab rides, the holidays, the speakers robes gifted to him from the Australian Labor Party and the intern was just the cherry on the cake for him.
Dillards so incompetent and useless that as usual her judgement got the better of her and she's been latching onto this guy for 6 months now making him Labor Party property.
Just like Craig "Tommo" Thompson she should have cut him adrift as soon as the revelations looked to be iron clad.
Of course when you have the most stupid person in the history of the world running the country what more could you expect?
BTW: Hows Labors good mate Michael Williamson, the former National President of the Australian Labor Party coming along? I hear those Amex Centurion Cards are a hoot, just wait till it's revealed Craig Thompsons names on the credit card receipts… let the Labor spin begin!
What is it with Australian Pooters? Alan Jones, Alan Joyce and James Ashby all deserve a good old fashioned 'Aussie Pooter Bashing'!
Absolutely right. While Slipper's definitely no saint, Ashby's conduct and potential underlying motives have not been adequately explored throughout this sad and squalid saga.
Maybe Therese Rein is bankrolling Ashby's case?
Ultimately, if a private individual is funding it, who cares. What is more important is the taxpayer funded attempt to insert Julian Burnside into what is now essentially a private matter. Waiting for the outrage…….
We remain silent!
But it is true, Ashby was an employee of the commonwealth, not Peter Slipper.
And lest we forget Ashby is a filthy little creep.
For 20 years Peter Slipper has been in parliament without any allegations of any actual misconduct in his personal life, this strange little LNP spiv comes along and suddenly he is the world's worst pervert?
And who says Slipper sent anything? Anyone can use his phone in the office.
Why is he being reported as a 26 year old, did the shrink get lied to and how come he claims such offences happened during the summer break from parliament.
This is a ridiculous farce.
@Marilyn – Don't forgrt the 7:30 interview with mr.Abbott just after mr.Slipper took the speakers position and became an independent.
I believe it went something like this – We will see what happens to mr.Slipper early next year, etc, etc..something along those lines…should be an ivew of it somewhere on the abc site?? or someone else will have it..but listen too it..very, very sinister…
Homosexuals really do hate women. No Alan jones its not women that are wrecking the place, it is closet homosexuals with their own self loathing projecting it on to the world outside, that are wrecking the place. They hate what they can't be a woman.
I believe this is when all this stuff started,,,look at the alledged timelines and the alledged associations
Its amazing how Peter Slipper changed from being a great bloke when he was a member of the Nationals, the Liberals and then the LNP, but when he ratted on them he became a slimy, slippery pervert.
Labor did over Mal Colston after he ratted on them (and Howard accepted his vote at least some times). Now the Liberal and Nationals are doing over Slippery.
The money comes not from the party though, but from a rich supporter out West.
Sweet Gina maybe?
I don't like witch hunts of any kind. Does anyone remember Robert Woods who was an MP for the NDP back in 1989?
He was hounded and tortured out of parliament because government didn't like his no-nukes message so they got him on citizenship.
I have just read Jenny Hockings rather brilliant book about Gough and the dismissal and the dirty little Liberal secrets and the fact is Abbott's song sheet is a double of the tactics used by Snedden and Fraser.
The two major parties need to get over their precious whining about people changing teams, they are all Australian's after all.
Gina is an Obese Miss Piggy, the sooner that vile worthless slob of an Australian dies the better – but I so so hope it is a slow lingering painful and embarrassing death. It is amazing any self respecting male would have or could have impregnanted her -YUK
And Slipper has resigned with dignity, which is more than most of his colleagues have shown.
But he sure won't be voting with the liberal mob anytime soon.
Dignity? I don't think it means what you think it means.
GONESKIS… But not before the ALP gave him 100% of their support with a parliamentary vote.
Labor and it's cohorts are a disgrace
Good riddance to the sleazy shit. Inge must be so proud….
He obviously used her genitals as the blueprint for his unshelled mussels comment.
Yuk! No more pickled mussels for me
who gives a fuck whose paying Slipper is a smutty little slag and a slut of the Gillards. Good riddance you piece of ALP backed shit.
At least he has a great leader who knows how to get down and get dirty.
The scribe, you are a moronic fuckwit aren't you?
The so-called sexist remarks were made before Slipper became the speaker and was Abbott's boy.
Fair dinkum what a to do about fuck all.
Slipper or Ashby which one should we blame? All I know is by the quality of the previous post that those from the right have little intelligence, as they have to use hateful gutter language.As both Slipper & Ashby came from the Liberal Party this could explain their text messages.
Wow! What a pathetic, embarrassing speech Gillard gave today. She really is a worse PM than Gough!
Great to see Pilbersek being smashed on LateLine
Tony Abbott "wants to smash the place up"!!!
What Labor fu#tard came up with that lame line? Brucey Hawker?
My own lady's department looks nothing like a mussel in brine, it is more like a mangey old dog' mouth with it's tongue hanging out with a big old Teeney Lady strapped over in to stop my leakage issue.
So Gillard voted to defend the undefendable Speaker, Slippery Pete, only to have him resign hours later!
Is Gillard the worst political strategist of all time?
Peter Slipper has not done anything wrong, what is wrong with you liberal party stooges.
There is plenty wrong with party stooges like yourself. You would turn a blind eye to anything. It is one eyed dickheads like you who have corrupted this country to the core.
some of the trolls on this site are obnoxious, presumably Sydney siders used to hearing the drivel of Mr Jones.
Ugly day for politics with the weakness of both sides on display. Labor's decision to defend Slipper was ugly especially given his own recognition that his position was untenable and resignation. Abbott's parroting of the phrase "die of shame" in the context of what Alan Jone's had said was either a stuff-up or a nasty, demeaning attack.
Cant Labor just get honest Joe Tripodi in as there moral compass , he always points north ,or towards the next social club with real estate behind it …. Fuck Labor – its a conga line of scumbags on every level.
What upsets me most about the Slipper Issue is the use of the media to wage a war against this bloke – sure a lot of the stuff is dispictable but Ashby's no saint – he loved it. was he put up to it by Brough and others. You never hear of the case of a certain High Court Judge who had a steamy affair. Photos and recordings supposedly ordered and obtained by his distressed and estranged wife. The affair THEN stopped.
Where the f–k are our esteemed investigative reporters ??????
Moi – you are obviously a fuckwit – are you a bloke, a woman, or a S-HIM
Marilyn, have been away from this esteemed site for awhile. Great to see quality posts from yourself. Unfortunately most of the posters here are in Ashby's corner and maybe "rooting" for him. It is sad to see so many unbalanced reports.
Anyway good onya Slipper for resigning – It is just not worth it.
Well at least Pete's not a pedophile like so many of those other Labor perverts who've gone down before him.
Who's paying Ashby's legal bills? WE are
Dillard made us [$50,000 worth to begin with] With defamation actions against kabuki Carr [& ors.,] to follow!
Ah Barry, what a gentleman – defending Marilyn's mussels.
The Liberal Party trolls aren't too difficult to spot when they have names like Slippery Pervert.
It might shock moron liberal supporters but it is not the job of the parliament to act as judge and jury.
There is no legal right to sack anyone.
The new Liberal policy is to send anyone in thier way bankrupt. With financed legal campaigns against MP's to achieve this aim.Bankruptcy causing the MP to resign.It has nothing to do with high ideals.They are only motivated by thier greed for power, and the practise is illegal.
Why is everyone always questioning my integrity?
After all the shock & horror – Slipper unfit to hold the position of speaker cos of his shucked mussels txts blah blah blah…
BUT um, we want his sexist, misogynistic vote all the same & no, no, no, Thomson is different, he's tainted!
It's like watching a b grade movie with all the obvious ingredients – the bait Ashby, the dirtfiles, the Liberal plotters & veiled threats, motive & smokescreen. And we are supposed to believe this circus is taking the moral high road?
Strangely I feel quite sorry for the hapless Slipper.
think Slipper was the victim of an unprecented plot by Ashby and others within the LP and LNP. Whist comments were dispicable they were also messages sent to an avowed woman hater, a self confessed poofter – really like locker room man shit.
I dont agree with it but it still needs to be put in perpective.
IMO Slipper did a fantastic job in Parliament as Speaker – outside of that noble institution actions were seedy
The usual quality comments of the Vexnews readers seems to be missing from this issue, horses for courses I suppose. Couple of points worth considering though. Firstly if you actually read these vile email exchanges Ashby clearly states he is not offended, so what relevance do they have to the matter? Secondly, they occurred when Slipper was still one of the Born to Rules and so why aren't the Liberals also in the dock? Next, to maintain the high standards demanded by the Liberals ALL parliamentarians and their little helpers should allow their personal emails to be accessed by a independent reviewer, like DPS Security staff and any all offensive or criminal emails published. Lastly, who are the strategic geniuses from Labor who allowed Slipper to resign after, and not before, Labor had gone to the wall for him. They knew he was going to resign, as did the Liberals (Bishop saw the group discussion and even someone as silly as her could figure out what was coming) Albo has a lot to answer for. But use Vexnews for rational discussion and objective analysis, except when bagging out Pyne, he is as bad as other closet dwellers like Jones and Slipper.
All of them are just fat pigs slurping around the same trough and in the same stye: Canberra.
Too right Bob. The incestuous journalists/eunuchs in Canberra are just as bad.
Check out this Crikey article about the press gallery committee..
"We will attempt to have Aesop mandarin hand wash (and cream) in the Female toilets, instead of the soap in the bathroom in the near future.
We will inquire into providing vitamin water options to the vending machine.We intend to introduce a Press Gallery "Social Chair" to organise wine tours, trips to the snow etc."
How are we going to put a stop to these swine? They have destroyed the future for our children thanks to selling out Australia to the globalist corporations.
Dear Pirate Bob.
We can discuss at length the value of that place, Canberra but IMO the place should never have been built. As much as I dislike things south of Coolangatta Sydney should have been the capital of our magnificant country. Canberra has nothing , only Pollies
Imagine how much better off Australia would be if a asteroid landed on Canberra.
Understanding simple instructions in English has never been my strong point. Should, must, shouldn't all means the same. Though should not commit adultery means the same as let's bang the arse off an 18 year old hairdresser.
So what is the joke at the CFMEU function that everyone condemns?
Dear Fruitie
that is funny !!!!!!!!!!!
It isn't funny he was my man and Teddy Boy is not amused. I spend all my time trying to keep his pants up and Wenchy's skirt down and to top it off Dirty Donna is not much better.
Between Fruit Loop and Wenchy the clothes below their waist are like a see saw, up and down, down and up, up and down. I am feeling a bit giddy, I need another coke and a hot dog.
coke for the nose, the hot dog where ???????????
The people funding Ashby are not the same as the people funding Thompson's legal problems…
Well my Sav has a little issue downstairs even whilst glancing at my BBW body nothing happens, so I'll leave up to your vivid imagination as to my needs for a tasty little rigid hot dog.
By the way Paulie it is nearly ni ni time, come back home for your din dins from by pendulous boobies.
Ok, who is worse, Peter Slippery or grubby Peter Clarke of Vic Libs and Prime fame? Answer… Peter Clarke is much worse because Slippery never acted as a Greens stooge by organising preferences against a fellow Lib in LM Doyle. DISGUSTING AND APPALLING. Isn't Clakey Red Ted's bbf? And wasn't the Red one going to preference the Greens until Helen Kroger and John Howard stopped him? All makes sence now>
When Peter Clarke was Vice President he begged Howard not to contest the Aston by-election… Now he does deals to deliver a greens LM… What a disgrace…
Harmers are possibly "speccing" it, except for outlays…
Climbing the greasy pole to gain political power is always going to involve a few slides down and a lot of mess. Alliances are formed, fake friendships forged and then abandoned. All this anguish for a fleeting moment at the top of the pole where you cannot enjoy the view because you keep looking down trying to kick away those who would pull you down to take your spot.
We no longer wrap fish and chips in yesterday's newspapers. At least that gave the news some value. The old news in print is used to make cardboard boxes or stored electronically for someone to use a search engine to retrieve it to damage an opponent at some indeterminate time in the future.
Reckon you are on the money Mr T
$50,000 of other peoples money if I touch another teen boys arse? Great, I get to feel up some bum and doesnt cost me anything!
Although pretty tedious, the 250 pages of texts that Ashby was forced to provide to the court have a few illuminating bits:
Slipper had sent Ashby texts alluding to his sexual life prior to working with Slipper – I guess the $150,000 salary was just too good an opportunity to pass up.
Relations between Slipper and Ashby appears to turn very sour after Slipper questioned him about why he was still working for the Liberal Party (see texts from 26 Feb 2012)
Shortly after this altercation, it appears that Ashby decided to leak parts of Slippers diary to scum bag journalist Steve Lewis at the Australian.
Looks more like a textbook case of your political enemies are mostly on your side of he fence
If you are expecting pages of lurid texts about female anatomy, you will be in for a big disappointment and the comment he made that received so much media coverage was made when he was still a member of the Liberal Party in October last year.
I guess the precious ones have never listened to Marianne Faithful if they think that bad language is a problem.
I can't believe people say they don't care who is funding Ashby. Of course it matters. We should know who has a lazy half mill that they are happy to spend on this strange little man. Why are they doing it? What do they hope to gain?
Was Slipper the target of a gay honey trap? Who set the trap? Who is Ashby's backer? What the hell has been going on?
Deans a grub, just sayin'
That idiot Abbott can't count. He got the electricity bill of some poor old lady and read it out in Parliament in another attempt at bagging the carbon price. He got the sums completely wrong and again embarrassed himself. And you right wing whingers think he is going to be the next PM. Have a good look at yourselves and get over your bitterness.
Might be Fat Clive funding the little poof. Didn't slipper beat big Clive in a preselection many years ago (for the Nationals)
Abbott bashes woman (nearly) or at least intimidates her forcefully, as a young man – disgraceful behaviour by a bloke's bloke who will probably be the next PM of this country. He should be held to account.
Getting closer DEAN… back in court again november 7th to check books.
Libs should get a safe seat for Ashby, not by going thru the back door and lets get this fellow into Fed Parliament.
Pyne and Ashby and probably you Barry have plenty of experience going in the 'backdoor' that for sure.
Slippery is crying poor about his legals, and is in hock to the tune of $450k to his brief.
Well boo frikkin' hoo.
Apparently he is trying to sell two investment properties (which will reduce the portfolio to 6 … yes, folks SIX)
If Slippery goes broke paying his Queen's Counsel (what an apt title in this instance), then big deal.
Let's see ….. I reckon he has got 300 days left in Parliament.
At one dodgy cab fare a day of $200, allowing for "cabbies laundry fee" of 25% he should be able to claw back the 450 large …. no probs.
something about being the "giver" or "taker" I suppose. One is much better than the other, in my humble opinion. You sir, are, with respect a "taker" – have a great day – I'll think of you and rthe pleasure and pain you take
If Pete is smart all those properties are held in trusts or whatever – rack up the legals Pete then take advantage of the bankruptcy laws of this country – all debts forgiven, pergatory for 3 years and then back smelling like a rose. Everybody knows that you haven't made it until you've been bankrupt at least twice. We are only taking about legals and solicitors here.
Hey Pete,
you could even run for Parliament again – maybe the Senate
regards Barry
Marilyn "And who says Slipper sent anything? Anyone can use his phone in the office."
You mean …. the same guy who stole Cragi's phone to ring up all those knock-shops then slipped the phone back in the pocket of his trousers while they were hanging on the bed-post?
Ohh… and Slippery has admitted to it as well you clown.
Whilst not knowing who is paying the bills, the action does have the hallmarks of one G. Rinehart and previous actions from her.
Tie someone up in litigation to you break them, this case has never been about sexual harassment, it has been about bringing Slippery down, and teaching him and others a lesson what happens if you cross the LNP and their born to rule right to power.
Dave, good incisive point. I used to think that Gina was the most beautiful and desirous woman on the planet – but then I'm a money hungry mongrel.
It would be the only reason, wouldn't it ??????
Barry anyone who ever thought that is seriously ill. I wouldn't root her with even your little dick.
Geoff Gledhill where is your council campaign meeting tonight? I'll pick up Inga and be there as soon as you get back to me. Surely Mitch can throw in a few bucks to buy us dinner and drinks.
mate, after she signed the cheque, I would compliment her profusely, tell her she was the best root other than her step mother – Shit another beautiful "rose"
Then again if someone paid me a fiver I'd even service Pyne's rear, but I would use plenty of Antiseptic afterwards. As we know the the types like Jones who often frequent that orafiice.
Andrew we need a story on this so we can comment, ha. ha. This will make destroy the Labour Government and erode the union movement (whats left of it)- HSU, CFMEU dinner joke etc.
As the Major in "Faulty Towers" used to say "strikes, strikes, strikes, why do we bother?"
Kelly O'Dwyer is the love child of Peter Slipper and Jenny Macklin. Aaaaaaaaaaarrrgggggghhhhhhhh.
This Barry c unt needs to fuck right off. he is killing this site with his drivel
This Barry cocksucker needs to fuck right off. He is killing this site with his verbal diarrhea
I hear Frank Lowy is bankrolling Ashby.
Could that be right?
To the other Barry out there using my name – fuck off and post your own you wanker – post of 15 Oct at 18.37 aint me
and Shoot Me the second Barry ain't me
Yuk these Barry characters are all devos.
One rule for all
Peter Slipper has not been represented by lawyers in the recent proceedings.
I don't understand how sms messages dated before Ashby started as adviser can be used as evidence of sexual harassment while in the position. He accepted the job after receiving them.
Who paid for Slippery's defence?
Why us of course, with a fair chunk of the funding going to that notorious Abbott-hater Julian Bumside QC.
I'll bet Julian talked that dumb-ass bimbo Roxon into pursuing it with the dual purpose of sticking it to Abbott (gee, that worked out well) and lining his own pockets.
I wonder if Julian has worked out the difference between Twatter and SMS yet.
Maybe Slippery could advise him.

where is the moderator? So many of these comments are homophobic and sexist.
Offended fuck off you soft cock.
stop trolling Offended
Just to add to your list, Rivoboy, the mussels comments were also made before James Ashby was offered the job he chose to accept. I wonder why they were considered 'evidence' of anything, let alone posted for all to see.
The texts are interesting reading but I definitely wouldn't be crowing or even attracting attention to them if I were a Liberal – especially in the later stages.
It's weird that some posters here call Peter Slipper 'sleazy' for private texts but are happy to repeat and embellish here in a public forum.

When the final round of the Masters Tournament gets underway on Sunday the best guess is that any of the top 13 players have a realistic chance to win. It is rare for a Masters winner to come from outside the top-10 in the final round and, counting ties, there are 13 players who fit the bill.
By far the most engaging and intriguing story on Sunday will be 20-year old Jordan Spieth. Co-leader of the tournament with Bubba Watson at five under, the young Texan burst onto the scene at the U.S. Open in 2012 at Olympic Club in San Francisco. He got to the event when there was a last-minute withdrawal, and garnered honors as the low amateur at seven over par. He became even more famous last July when he holed out from the sand on the final hole of the John Deere Open to tie for the lead, then win the playoff to qualify for the British Open and hop on a private jet for England just hours after his final putt. Perhaps more importantly, that win earned him an invitation to the 2014 Masters Tournament.
Spieth is not at Augusta National for the experience, although if he should fail to win on Sunday he will take it. It is evident from the look in his eyes and the words that he speaks that he thinks he can win. He said after his round on Saturday that his comfort level was "very high," adding that he had confidence that if he put his ball in the right places he could get the ball up and down. Will it be difficult to win because of his age and inexperience? He says the key will be playing the golf course, and not playing against Bubba Watson or playing on the big stage of Augusta National. He says he'll play knowing that "if I shoot a couple under, it should be good enough." The last player to win the Masters on their first try was Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.
It will certainly be interesting to see where Bubba Watson's game, and his head, will be on Masters Tournament Sunday. On Saturday, he did not play his greatest golf. On the other hand, he did not lose the lead. Watson's performance in the final round will probably depend on how he looks back at his third round. He knocked in a tough five-footer for par on the last hole, and that might have given him something good to think about when he falls asleep Saturday night.
If momentum is the key to victory Matt Kuchar, Rickie Fowler and Miguel Angel Jimenez should be the favorites. Kuchar shot four under 68 on Saturday and is just one shot behind the leaders at four under. The 50-year-old Spaniard Jimenez shot the best round of the tournament with a 66 and is in third place, two shots behind. Fowler is with him in third after carding a 67. Justin Rose picked up some momentum with a 69 and must make up four strokes on Sunday.
It would not be a Sunday at the Masters Tournament without Fred Couples. At 54-years old he sits at one under par, tied for tenth place and just four shots from the lead. The winner in 1992, he knows what it takes to get to the green jacket. It will be interesting and entertaining to watch and see if his body can hold up for one more fantastic final round at Augusta National.

new silver mt zion?
is it out this week? i really want it quite badly, maybe the best thing they've done.
its amazing
i'm totally getting it on vinyl
good stuff
Album of the year
without doubt.
i wish
i liked Efrim's vocals
*worst thing they have ever done
Except for blindblindblind it is terrible
Horses in the Sky
Horses was shite, I am hoping this is better... tell Efrim to stop singing.
Seing them in London next month which should be cool
I didn't like horses at first
Mainly because I couldnt get past the first couple of minutes but it is easily the best thing they have done
i'm looking forward to the shows
v. much.
just really looking forward to seeing them again
the new album has
disappointed more than just a little bit. It doesn't seem to have much of an identity with a lot of the tracks drifting along into nothingness after a while.
Certainly not the best thing they've done - possibly the weakest. I don't think they'll ever top Horses in The Sky to be honest.
It came out on Monday
and it's making its debut on my stereo right now.
It's a lot fuller and louder than previous work, with loads of Efrim singing, so if you don't like his voice then you're unlikely to enjoy this album. The guitar work is more in the foreground, and there is less violin/cello and choral singing as before.
Sounds excellent on a first listen.

Guess that explains why he quit on me; no time to play! "

There is only one airport in Goa, India's smallest state, - Goa International Airport, more commonly known as Dabolim Airport. It is located 30 km from the capital city Panjim, and it is easy to get from there to any place in the South or North Goa. The airport is linked to popular recreational areas by scheduled buses. If you prefer a more comfortable ride, you can always take a taxi. The airport serves mainly charter flights and due to large passenger traffic it became one of the major hubs in India, from which tourists go to other popular destinations in the country – Bombay, Delhi, Jaipur and others. The airport is rather large. It has two terminals, and transit passengers often have to move from one terminal to another. However, if you took an international flight to Goa and intend to fly back the same way, then you have nothing to worry about. Dabolim Airport is fairly modern with the minimum required infrastructure: cafes, foreign currency exchange booths and lounges. The only drawback is that there are no luggage lockers.
If you are looking for cheap air tickets to Goa, we can offer you best deals:

If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God's secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn't love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn't love others, I would have gained nothing. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless. When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinthians 13, NLT)
This chapter is a wonderful rendering of what love is and how it supersedes other gifts. No matter the gift we possess, love causes it to be perfected and effective in the lives of God's people. Paul gives us clear definition and Scriptures allows us to know that by loving others, people will recognize us as His children. I want to share with you from "The Jesus Calling Devotional Bible", just a couple of readings from "Intimacy with Him". From these, you are able to feel the love of God with a personal intimate touch. We need to feel His love in a special sense from time to time and I believe with these The Father will invade your space and soul.
"Bring Me the sacrifice of your time; a most precious commodity. In this action addicted world, few of My children take time to sit quietly in My Presence. But for those who do, blessings flow like streams of living water. I, the One from whom all blessings flow, am also blessed by our time together. This is a deep mystery; do not try to fathom it. Instead glorify Me by delighting in Me. Enjoy Me now and forever."
Psalm 21:6; John 7:38; Psalm 103:11
"Come to Me for your understanding, since I know you far better than you know yourself. I comprehend you in all complexity; no detail of your life is hidden from Me. I view you through eyes of grace, so don't be afraid of my intimate awareness. Allow the Light of My healing Presence to shine into the deepest recesses of your being, cleansing, healing, refreshing, and renewing you. Trust me enough to accept the full forgiveness that I offer you continually. This great gift, which cost Me My Life, is yours for all eternity. Forgiveness is at the very core of My abiding Presence. I will never leave you or forsake you.
When no one else seen to understand you, simply draw closer to Me. Rejoice in the One who understands you completely and loves you perfectly. As I fill you with My love, you become a reservoir of love, overflowing into the lives of other people.
Psalm 139:1-4; 2 Corinthians 1:21, 22 Joshua 1:5
Prayer: Father we are grateful for Your love that overflow in us. Truly You did love us first and now we are able to love others. We are grate for the times your speak volumes into our spirits through Your Holy Spirit and through Your Holy Scriptures. We will always give and You give to us. Bless us we pray in the name of Jesus, our Christ. Amen!

Everyone seems to have caught the travel bug these days (including myself). I find one of the most common questions asked is "how can I travel and eat good food?" Train, plane, or car rides can be long with only cheap fast food restaurants near by. One of the best quick and easy meals to take on the road are RICE BALLS! ....(and I don't mean the way the Italians make them.)
Fast, Easy, and Long Lasting. These little guys can fill you up and give you the energy to keep going throughout a long day without throwing your body out of wack. I never leave home without them. Whether it's hiking a mountain in Alaska, or road triping to Canada, be sure to pack some.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
Cooked (leftover) brown rice
Nori Sheets
Umeboshi Plums
Optional: Almond Butter
Make your brown rice as usually (the stickier the better). Roll the rice into a ball (about your palm). Poke a whole with your finger and put a little piece of umeboshi plum in the middle. If you are able to have almond butters right now, you can spread some onto the nori sheet. Place the ball in the middle of the nori and roll it up with it. Use water to wet your hands and make the nori stick completely around the ball. The nori and umeboshi preserve the rice and it's very easy to travel with. It will give you a nice base energy in the middle of the day. The almond butter really adds a tasty touch (if you can handle it).
Health Benefits Breakdown:
- The rice is a whole grain. As a complex carbohydrate it will keep your body energized without the highs and the low peeks.
- The Nori replenishes the minerals you need throughout the day.
- The umeboshi plum will keep you akaline and blood sugar regulated.
- The almond butter is a great source of protein if you need that extra kick. Making this an overall complete meal.
Enjoy and safe travels!

State News
As Sunshine Week celebrates accountability, watchdog group questions Walker's record on open government
As Scott Walker was honored for his executive orders on government transparency, an open records advocacy group debated his record on the matter.Image By: Scott Walker
In a week dedicated to government openness, Gov. Scott Walker received an award for past open record initiatives, while critics charge hypocrisy to his own history of closing access to public records.
Sunshine Week, running March
Last week, Walker was awarded the 2018 Political Openness Award by the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council for his history of advocacy on this front.
In the past, Walker has issued a series of executive orders directing state agencies to standardize the fees charged to those who request records in an effort to make the system more economical.
He also moved to provide public record resources and training for all
Since then, the number of requests the Department of Justice has received has increased nearly 60 percent from 2015, while the response rate has decreased by 80 percent. As a result, a record-breaking amount of records — more than 6.2 million pages worth — have been released since 2011.
This award, critics argue, may have been wrongly received, given Walker's track record of keeping off-the-record accounts and increasing the anonymity of campaign financiers.
In 2015, several cabinet members were instructed by Walker's top aide to keep certain materials off public records by transmitting information orally and over private channels, equivalent to "mobsters walking around in trench coats," said Matthew Rothschild, the executive director of the open government watchdog Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.
According to Rothschild, the purpose of this was to avoid "reporters or public interests groups from snooping around by creating maximum deniability."
Rothschild describes the council's decision to award Walker as "naive" to "the ruinous effects of the public's right to know," referencing Walker's refusal to discuss the donors of nearly half a million dollars to his political corruption case and eliminating the requirement to disclose employer names of campaign contributors above $100.
"It's a joke that he received this award," Rothschild said. "A bad joke."

Seeing as I'm taking pictures, here's my finished (So far) WW2 Germans. Couple of WIP's, my painting competition entry and then the finished ones. Fallschirmjaeger on the left and middle, Heer on the right. Everything is from Pendraken, the infantry are German Para's Army Pack and added are the 2 Pak40's, 2 Stug III's, 3 Opal Blitz Trucks and 3 SDKFZ 251/1's. The draught horses are some butchered high elf chariot mounts for warmaster.
So next for these I need another 6 transports for the company on the left, the Heer will remain on foot and the addition of an Engineering section and some Panzer Companies to finish it all off. Then it'll be the Russians up next.

I have just purchased Marumi DHG Super Circular Polarizer CPL PL.D 67 67mm Filter to use with my Canon 70-200 f/4.0 IS USM lens and perhaps with my 18-55 lens with filter adapter.
I got the delivery just today; however, as it is a thin mount filter it does not thread properly if I try to put it directly on my 70-200 lens. I normally use B+W 67mm UVA (Ultra Violet) Haze MRC Filter for lens protection and leave it on all the time. The Marumi DHG Super Circular Polarizer CPL PL.D 67 67mm Filter fits fine on top of the B+W 67mm UVA (Ultra Violet) Haze MRC Filter.
I guess people have mixed opinions on stacking filters. I was wondering if anyone has used these filters or similar filters together, what their experience is. Will sincerely appreciate your feedback.
I bought the filter from EBay and from a US based seller. I live in Australia and so returning the filter and then trying to get another one can be a bit of hassle. And it is not exactly a cheap filter. Unfortunately I had not thought about this issue before ordering.

I think I'm turning into a cynic.I literally puke if someone uses the word "boyf". *puke*
I look at newly formed couples and think... "why have they settled for this?"
I look at newly married couples and hope they have a pre-nup and that she kept her name and her own bank account... and don't sign a bond together.
Ok, so I speak from a few bad experiences. I guess it's kinda understandable how I feel.
But I don't want to live with a closed, battered and bruised heart.
I've tried very hard to keep my trust in mankind.. but man always seems to find a way of letting me down. And yes, in this case... it is mostly the men. (Although the women are often just as bad...)
I realise that this makes me difficult to approach and interact with. Who wants to approach someone with distrust in their eyes?
But this is how I feel: I dont trust.
I think it's just going to have to take someone truly special to get through some of my tentacles.
Or maybe it will just take time.. and I will change my attitude.
I dont know.
I just know that I'm not "putting myself out there", not checking out the cute guy in the corner, not trying to be nice and approachable... and I'm not "looking". And I'm kinda ok with that.
I'll admit that I'm looking forward to Mozambique where I can start all over, with no reminders of my past hurts. It's a bit drastic, but it might work.
I hope it does.
Maybe I'm not such a big cynic after all.
I'll stick to my corner of the world.. but...
If you want to throw your arms around me...
I guess I won't say no.

The web-based version of anonymous feedback app Sarahah is riddled with security flaws, according to a researcher.
Sarahah is a well established mobile app that allows people to receive anonymous feedback messages from friends and co-workers. Flaws in the technology make it vulnerable to web-based attacks including cross-site scripting and CSRF, according to security researcher Scott Helme.
Helme found that it was "trivially easy" to bypass Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection in the app. CSRF is a class of attack that forces an end user to execute unwanted actions on a web application.
Ask.fm, another technology popular with teenagers, became a platform for insults and flaming, partly because of the ability to send anonymous messages brought out the worst in people.
The Sarahah app does seem to have some rudimentary filtering in place to prevent abuse of other members but it doesn't include rate limiting. This omission meant Helme was able to anonymously send...(continued)

It's that time of year again ... carmel and apples. But, I really don't like the regular "dip the whole apple in carmel and then try to eat it before the entire carmel layer slides off in your lap, or even worse, your hair" type of carmel apples. When we were kids, Mom always sliced our apples, and then gave us our own little cup of carmel, where we dipped away to our hearts content. More carmel for your apple that way, and less mess. That's my type of carmel apples.
This morning, I made little jars of carmel to take to some of my friends. I figure they need to experience the lucious experience of dipping their apple slices in carmel. It gives a whole new meaning to carmel apples. (Of course, there's some carmel left over in the pan, which we really can't let go to waste. Maybe we'll need to have some for brunch today.) ... and in case you need some carmel for your apple slices ...
Mom's Halloween Carmel Sauce
Cook slowly to 220 degrees on a candy thermometer:
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup corn syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
... enjoy!

It has been beautiful, glorious Spring weather this last week. There is the smell of Spring in the air. There is Jasmine in bloom outside my back door and the scent wafts in and fills the house with the smell of Spring. Every thing about this time of year just makes me feel so much happier.
We had an great busy week this week. As well as finishing the spare room we also found the time to do some cooking. Rain made baclava, yum!
We painted our hands and feet with henna. Tui also painted her belly and her arms and legs!
Had a visit from my sister-in-law and my very cute nephew.
And spent a lovely morning at the beach at Byron Bay.

Smart City Reference Model: Assisting Planners to Conceptualize the Building of Smart City Innovation Ecosystems
- 7.1k Downloads
- Citations
The objective of this paper is to address the smart innovation ecosystem characteristics that elucidate the assembly of all smart city notions into green, interconnected, instrumented, open, integrated, intelligent, and innovating layers composing a planning framework called, Smart City Reference Model. Since cities come in different shapes and sizes, the model could be adopted and utilized in a range of smart policy paradigms that embrace the green, broadband, and urban economies. These paradigms address global sustainability challenges at a local context. Smart city planners could use the reference model to define the conceptual layout of a smart city and describe the smart innovation characteristics in each one of the six layers. Cases of smart cities, such as Barcelona, Edinburgh, and Amsterdam are examined to evaluate their entirety in relation to the Smart City Reference Model.

Artist's description:
I had been attending life drawing classes for years, when I came to realise that I knew each model's poses by heart. And so, I developed a new manner to sketch that kept me entertained and gave a new perspective through which to practice life drawing. Balance And Reflection is not about the figure so much as it is about our ability to analyse, to interpret and to create a new. This work is characterised by a retrained and organic colour palette and empty space juxtaposed against areas of condensed detail.
Materials used:
Acrylic paint, gouache, house paint, graphite, charcoal, oil pastel

Below is the link to the letter to the editor I submitted in regard to an article the Courier published.
If I had chosen the byline for this article, I certainly would not have chosen "Depression Results from Sin" That said, I can see why they chose that particular byline due to one sentence I wrote back then. If I were to write this article today, I think I would change that paragraph so as to not offer the same confusion or pain to those who read:
Concerning the article, "When pastor's silent suffering turns tragic" in the Jan. 7 edition of the Courier: I recognize that this article is one that is used by the permission of the Religion News Service and that it more than likely cannot be adjusted, but would it not have been more spiritually uplifting and helpful to offer a biblical perspective on depression in a box on the same page? If this is truly a problem that ministers should face, should the spiritual dimension not be considered?
Depression is brought on most times from unconfessed and unrepentant sin. Depression begins with a trigger event that spirals downward as we interact with our physical condition, human relationships, and personal response to the event. Thus depression can be worsened by a sinful human response as well as physical and relational factors. Proverbs 28:13 says that "he who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy." If we deal with every other contributing factor in depression but do not address the spiritual condition, we will not prosper.
As a pastor, I know the perennial sins that I face. People-pleasing, pride and unrealistic trust in my own abilities tempt me every week. The article mentions each of these sins, yet seemingly presents nothing other than psychological counseling as the answer.
This quote especially provoked my response: "Society still places a stigma on mental illness, but Christians make it worse – by 'over-spiritualizing' depression and other disorders as a lack of faith or a sign of weakness." Such a quote, at least, belittles the work of a minister of the gospel, but at most it trivializes the work of our Savior! We are weak. We are sinners desperately in need. We must live by faith in one who can forgive our sin because he paid its price. Apart from that, we will live in bondage to sin and its devastating effects. How can we preach the sufficiency of Christ's forgiveness and saving power in all things, while at the same time denying that power over depression?
Individuals who are depressed may have legitimate physical causes for such feelings; however, we can be sure that in this world we all strive against our fallen, sinful nature. The only freedom we experience comes not from counseling, but from confession – putting off the old man, as Paul states in Ephesians 4:22-24, and, in repentance and trust, putting on the new man – Christ Jesus.

A lawsuit is pending for investors in Ubiquiti Networks Inc (NASDAQ:UBNT) shares over alleged securities laws violations by Ubiquiti Networks Inc and NASDAQ:UBNT stockholders should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/08/2017 -- The Shareholders Foundation announces that a lawsuit is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California for certain investors in Ubiquiti Networks Inc (NASDAQ:UBNT) shares over alleged violations of securities laws by Ubiquiti Networks Inc.
Investors who purchased shares of Ubiquiti Networks Inc (NASDAQ:UBNT) and currently hold any of those NASDAQ:UBNT shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 858-779-1554.
San Jose, CA based Ubiquiti Networks Inc develops performance networking technology for service providers and enterprises. Ubiquiti Networks Inc went public in October 2011. At least 7.038 million shares of Ubiquiti Networks Inc common stock were sold to the public at $15 per share, raising $105.6 million in gross proceeds for the Company and the selling shareholders.
On May 1, 2012, after announcing disappointing third quarter fiscal year 2012 financial results, the Company acknowledged that a former distributor of Ubiquiti Networks Inc's had stolen source codes and proprietary designs for the Company's popular and profitable AirMax line of products and was engaged in a scheme to manufacture and distribute counterfeit Ubiquiti Networks Inc products in direct competition with the Company.
On August 9, 2012, Ubiquiti Networks Inc reported its fourth quarter fiscal 2012 results. Among other things, Ubiquiti Networks Inc said that the amount of counterfeited goods, combined with the impact it has on its distributor's inventory and the purchasing patterns of its customers, will impact its business outlook for the next two fiscal quarters.
On September 7, 2012, a lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Ubiquiti Networks Inc over alleged securities laws violations. The plaintiff alleged that between October 14, 2011 and August 9, 2012 and in the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the initial public offering ("IPO)" defendants issued allegedly materially false and misleading statements regarding Ubiquiti Networks Inc's business practices and financial results.
The plaintiff claimed that defendants allegedly failed to disclose negative trends in Ubiquiti Networks Inc business, including widespread problems associated with counterfeit versions of its AirMax wireless gear being made available to the market. The plaintiff alleged that defendants allegedly knew, but concealed from the investing public the true magnitude of the risks the Company faced from counterfeit goods, the widespread nature and extent of the counterfeit operations and the impact the counterfeit activities would have on the Company's future operating results, the increased risks to the Company's operations due to its unique business model, whereby it relied exclusively upon distributors to sell its products to end customers; and that the Company lacked the proper internal controls to prevent its product designs from being stolen and replicated. On January 29, 2013, a consolidated and amended complaint was filed.
On March 26, 2014, the court granted the Motions to Dismiss on behalf of the various defendants and the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal.
On October 24, 2016, the Ninth Circuit affirmed in part and reversed in part the decision of the District Court.
On January 30, 2017, another amended complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
Those who purchased shares of Ubiquiti Networks Inc have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.

The New York Times article on December 5th, "95,000 Words, Many of Them Ominous, From Donald Trump's Tongue," was an interesting example of textual content analysis applied for media coverage (news) and policy analysis (current and historical context). Close textual content analysis is rare in "mainstream" media coverage. The NYT occasionally demonstrates its abilities in various kinds of data journalism, but this kind of analysis is not routine. One might imagine a media category in which this kind of content analysis was a staple -- alongside of reports about polls. We could have an on-going analysis and insight into what political candidates were saying (which could be reported in conjunction with what the surveyed public is reporting).
Among us PR / media geeks, we'd pay attention. The question is -- would the "public" care to track the measurement and monitoring of messages?

I love a good breakfast hash. I love it for any meal of the day. Unfortunately I don't eat potatoes. My body just doesn't process them well. HOWEVER, yucca makes a beautiful and tasty replacement for a hardy hash.
- 2 yucca peeled and sliced with a mandolin.
- 1 chioggia beet peeled and sliced with a mandolin.
- 1 sweet onion finely chopped.
- 1 shaved fennel with a mandolin.
- 2 tablespoons of avocado oil.
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp of coconut aminos.
- optional salt and pepper. (I don't use it, but add it if you want).
- Chicken apple sausage that I got at Whole Foods.
- Zucchini noodles (optional. It makes it more like a dinner)

Here's the first poem I've written inspired by my poetry challenge. Someone over on Facebook suggested the idea, 'Dancing like no-one is looking, then noticing that they ALL are!'
I went out drinking with a friend,
We both knew how the night would end.
Laughter, fun and raucous dancing,
Stopping life from fast advancing.
Dressed in heels and make-up on,
Our fear and inhibitions gone.
We ate a meal – how civilised,
Excitement only just disguised.
A cocktail first and then one more,
We headed off towards the door.
Towards the club where deep within,
Our fantasy would soon begin.
We chose a club that only played
The music from our fave decade.
The 80s (as you know is great),
To hit the floor, we couldn't wait.
We put our bags down on a chair
And ran our fingers through our hair.
Then sectioned out our bit of space,
Picked up the rhythm of the base.
Around us all the people stood,
Ignoring us – we knew they would.
Two 'daft old ladies' trying to dance,
Not even worthy of a glance.
The music pumped right through our veins;
The gloves were off, no more constrains.
We strutted like we didn't care,
Because we didn't, to be fair.
Our arms were waved above our heads
(No tea for us, tucked up in bed).
We kicked our legs and twirled around,
At one point lunging to the ground!
We vogued like no-one had before
And absolutely owned the floor.
We danced and tripped the light fantastic,
All our limbs became elastic.
No nerves or tiny steps for us,
Our moves were big and obvious.
We both were on a stage somewhere,
Just grinning, dancing not a care.
The music stopped we clung on tight,
Then laughed out loud, oh what a night!
Our faces glowed, our smiles were wide;
Two friends just standing side by side.
We looked around and saw the youth,
Who maybe struggled with the truth.
Their eyes on stalks, mouths open wide,
We simply couldn't hide our pride.
We fetched our bags, and linked our arms,
Then smiled around with grace and charm.
We turned and sauntered off the floor –
Always leave them wanting more.
There's more to life than just a number,
Never leave your zest to slumber.
Do the things you LOVE to do,
Have fun, have laughs, be bold – BE YOU!
This is based on a night out which my friend and I still smile and laugh about. We're already looking forward to the next one…
Let me know if you still go out dancing, and do you care if people are watching?
