Nervous System Home > Parlodel Overdose
In the event that you take too much Parlodel (bromocriptine), overdose symptoms may include nausea and vomiting, very low blood pressure, sweating, and drowsiness. Deaths have been reported in cases where an overdose of Parlodel was taken in combination with other medications. Treatment for a Parlodel overdose may involve "pumping the stomach," administering certain drugs, or supportive care.
Parlodel® (bromocriptine mesylate) is a prescription medication that belongs to a group of medications known as ergot alkaloids. As with any medication, it is possible to take too much Parlodel. The specific effects of a Parlodel overdose can vary, depending on a number of factors, including the Parlodel dosage and whether it was taken with any other medications or substances.
Symptoms of an overdose with Parlodel may include:
- Sweating
- Dizziness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Constipation
- Pale skin
- Very low blood pressure (hypotension)
- A general ill feeling (malaise)
- Confusion, delusions, or hallucinations
- Lethargy or drowsiness
- Repetitive yawning.
Deaths have been reported due to overdoses of Parlodel in combination with other medications.
The treatment for a Parlodel overdose may vary. If the overdose was recent, a healthcare provider may "pump the stomach" or administer certain medications to induce vomiting or to absorb the medication from the digestive tract. He or she will also provide supportive treatment, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur with the overdose. For example, supportive treatment options for a Parlodel overdose may include:
- Careful monitoring of the heart, blood pressure, and breathing
- Medications to increase blood pressure
- Fluids through an intravenous line (IV)
- Other treatments based on complications that occur.
It is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you may have overdosed on Parlodel.

It is ironic that the root of extremist Islam took shape in Saudi Arabia under the teachings of Muhammad ibn Abdul Hahhab (1703-1792) whose goal it was to bring the Arabian peninsula back to the strict teachings of the Prophet. It is just this form of Wahhabism that is taught in the madrases of Pakistan also reported to be funded by the Saudis. Wahhabism is the root of Islamic extremism in the world today.
Do the Saudis themselves feel threatened by the very form of Islam that was developed and is practiced on their soil? What is going on here?
Memri reported the following:
Dr. Abd Al-Rahman Al-Hadlaq, supervisor of the counseling committee, told Al-Watan that the amount of aid given to the families depended on their financial situation, and added that this support also "had a positive effect on the prisoners themselves, and on their attitude towards the ideological therapy [provided by] the counseling program." He said that the financial incentives were meant to "demonstrate the humanitarian side of the security forces, [and to show] the prisoners' families that the state empathizes [with their problems], cares about their needs, and truly wishes to rehabilitate their sons, who have fallen prey to a misguided group that [merely] wishes to exploit the [difficult] conditions in which they and their families live in order to recruit further members from their families."
Ali Sa'd Al-Mussa, a lecturer at King Khaled University in Abha, criticized the financial support granted to extremists and their families. He wrote in Al-Watan: "The honorable Sheikh Muhammad Al-Najimi, member of the ideological counseling committee, said that the state has so far spent over 100 million riyals on presents, weddings, cars and monthly salaries for prisoners who had espoused a distorted ideology, and for their families. It was also stated that this [financial aid] was one of the factors that convinced some of [these prisoners] to renounce their previous views…
"I am afraid that, [in this way], holding [extremist] views leads to earning a prize, or worse – a steady income. What extraordinary thing have these [extremists] done that we give them a free car only for renouncing their [extremist] views, while thousands of honest young people can only dream of [owning] a car? What extraordinary thing have these [prisoners] done that we [finance] their weddings, when thousands of honest young people can only dream – not of the scent of a woman but even of a bottle of perfume? What extraordinary thing have they done that we grant them and their families a monthly salary, while thousands of honest men cannot even dream of a job as security guards? People should be rewarded for their actions, but it seems that we have turned this concept upon its head…

Ticketmaster and Live Nation claim that their proposed merger will be beneficial to all parties involved – including the fans. They say it'll "improve the live entertainment experience and drive major innovations in ticketing technology, marketing and service" and "enhance the connection between artists and fans". Huh?
Surely a fan's main requirement when it comes to going to a gig by their favourite artist is to be able to get a ticket – and for an affordable price. But, when it comes to a business that is largely unregulated, the near-monopoly that the Live Nation/Ticketmaster merger represents will most likely only benefit one party, and that's their shareholders.
Traditionally, the touring business has consisted of venues, promoters, ticketing agents and artists' agents. The artist and their agent would decide what they wanted to charge for the tickets and then all parties would negotiate to try to make it worthwhile for everyone. The ticketing agents figured out that they could make their money from booking fees and transaction fees.
In the record industry, the vast majority of records being sold and played on the radio are the property of just four big labels: Universal, Sony, Warners and EMI. (Ged Doherty, the head of Sony, recently said he was concerned by the fact that his company and Universal appeared to be the only major players these days.) When Universal bought the publishing arm, and Sony bought the record arm, of what used to be the fifth major (BMG), they faced years of anti-competition litigation, and had to sell off parts of their acquired interest in BMG before gaining approval. The touring industry is doing much worse when it comes to healthy competition and, so far, there has been next to no intervention from governments.
In a relatively short period of time, Live Nation has become the world's largest concert promoter. It's now not solely a promoter but also owns or has a controlling interest in thousands of venues and events around the world – Wembley Arena, Reading festival, the Fillmore in San Francisco, to name just a few. The company has also truly embraced the 360-degree model by getting into artist management, the record business and merchandising, adding artists such as Madonna, Jay-Z, Shakira and U2 to their roster.
Meanwhile, Ticketmaster, the main ticket agent in both the UK and the US (where it has nearly 70% of the market share), realised how much money was being made by secondary ticketing sites such as Viagogo, Seatwave and GetMeIn. So they bought one of them. Like Live Nation, they also got into artist management as they merged with Front Line Management, which handles more than 200 acts, including the Eagles and Christina Aguilera.
Up until the end of last year, Live Nation had a deal with Ticketmaster to handle the ticketing for their events in the US (the same deal is due to run out in the UK at the end of 2009). When the deal expired, they decided to sell tickets through their own website. But that didn't mean they got rid of those annoying service charges and transaction fees that bump up the price of tickets by as much as 25%. After all, they were already making money out of all the other interests they had in the touring business, so they could afford to be more competitive. But it turned out their fees were just as high as Ticketmaster's.
Now Live Nation has decided that instead of having to negotiate or compete with Ticketmaster, they're just going to merge with them. Problem solved.
As record sales dwindle, artists are now being told that they should focus on touring as a main source of income – after all, the experience of a live concert shared with thousands of other fans can't be downloaded from Pirate Bay. Music fans have watched ticket prices skyrocket in the past decade, so it's easy to see that there's a lot of money to be made out of live performances. But who is really making the big bucks out of these tours?
Madonna made a deal with Viagogo – a secondary ticketing agency – to be her official sponsor and secondary ticketer for her last tour (she is also signed to, and a stockholder in, Live Nation), so we can assume where her allegiance lies. Bruce Springsteen, on the other hand, is "furious" with what he sees as the "abuse of our fans and our trust by Ticketmaster" – as he wrote on his website, after fans were redirected to TicketsNow.com (Ticketmaster's American secondary site) where $95 tickets were being offered for up to $5,350.
Unfortunately, if the merger between these two giants gets approved, artists like Springsteen and their fans may have little to say about the final pricing of concert tickets. It looks as if the only way Live Nation and Ticketmaster will "enhance the connection between artists and fans" would be to get well out of the way.

Caring for pets in hot weather
This does not only apply to your pets but to animals in general like birds. I know Minnie has been generous... sharing her bowl of kibbles and water with the birds in the neighbourhood. It is so hot and humid with not much oxygen in the air... everyone including animals need heaps of water to stay hydrated. Especially with the very thick haze, all thanks to some inconsiderate people who still enjoy open-burning! Really don't understand their bloody mentality... they don't seemed to care if their loved ones can't breath *go figure!* Don't get me wrong, I know some of the hotspots are due to the heat + dry jungle but there are some which you can obviously see it's from humans ya... such selfishness will get you nowhere lah!

The Japanese Tradition
Bringing to you the last artisans of Japan
Engraving & Embroidery Workshops
High-end free transcriptions & super fast service
A Company Run by Practitioners
A strong ethic at your service
In an age where the "product origin" has lost its meaning, Seido is the very last company that offers only 100% made in Japan equipment. All our products are entirely cut/sewn in Japan and all the textiles we use are made in Japan as well. This is the foundation of our brand, we do not compromise on quality.
Seido was created and is run by martial artists practicing various Japanese Budo in Japan. This allows us to get daily feedback on the mats and therefore, to have total confidence in the quality and relevance of our products, as well as in the very high level of our customer service. We consider all our clients as fellow practitioners.
Seido has its own high quality embroidery & engraving workshops. Embroideries are performed within 3, and engravings within 5 business days - we're the fastest in the industry. We also offer free professional name transcription. Learn more on our YouTube presentation video.
All Seido Hakama, Dogi and Obi (belts) have passed the Aikikai standard tests and therefore, can be fitted with the Aikikai logo (optional). The Aikikai foundation approval is a guarantee that our products comply with the quality standards set by Hombu Dojo Shihan and are perfectly suited for the practice of Aikido.
I chose Seido for the quality and great value of their equipment and to support the great ambition of an Aikido equipment company run by foreigners in Japan. I particularly appreciate to be able to discuss directly the most minute technical details with their international team of Aikidoists.
I had for years been the customer of other brands but I decided to switch over to Seido because of the excellent quality they offer. I am impressed by Seido's transparency regarding the origin of their products and the pleasure of dealing with a competent team of Aikidoka comforts me in my choice.
I have chosen Seido's Hakama for its great quality and reasonable price. The slightly longer front belts, the flexibility when ordering a well adapted custom made gear, and the very fast shipping - the overall quality of service makes Seido stand out, and therefore is my choice.
My daily Budo practice in Japan and my frequent trips around the world put my uniforms through the harshest possible conditions. Fortunately, I can count on Seido to understand my most stringent requirements and to provide me with the highest quality in japanese equipment.
My "cashmere touch" training hakama is certainly the best hakama I've owned in my close to 30 years of aikido practice. It's beautiful. It looks exceptional - both still and in motion. Seido products are great so I'm happy to stand behind them!
Seido simply offers the best service and the best cost performance ratio. It is no surprise that Aikidoists, like Christian Tissier, André Cognard or my brother (Issei Tamaki) are trusting in Seido for their equipment. Seido is bringing the best of Japanese equipment to all practitioners at a fair price.

Hi Mrs.Mano
I wanted the recipe for rava idly.
Hi Mrs.Mano
I wanted the recipe for rava idly.
Hi Rajshank,
I don't see the 'Layered Parotta' recipe in the index. Can you plz let me know where it is? or can u cut & paste it here for me?
Hi Malini,
Its from the recipe collection of Mrs. Mano. Here is the recipe for it...
Layered Parotta (By Mrs Mano)
Sieve 1kg plain flour. Add 1 egg, ¼ cup oil, 2tbsp sugar, ¼ cup milk and ¼ cup ghee to the flour and mix well. Knead to a smooth dough by adding enough water. Keep covered for three hours. Pat and knead well again till the dough becomes very smooth and elastic in nature. Make orange sized balls from the dough and roll out in to thin chappathi. In hotels, the professional cooks will make it flip in the air to a very big transparent circular layer and then they will fold it and roll into round balls again. We could do like that only if we are trained in it. So we can fold the chappathi like saree pleats and then make it into a ball again. Spread ½ to 1sp oil on the ball and keep them covered for some time. Then pat the ball gently on top and flatten into thick parottas using the hands. Heat the tawa and cook the parotta on both sides. After removing it from the tawa , press and pat on the sides to loosen the layers with a neat white thin towel when it is hot.
If u do not have the recipe collecton of Mrs.Mano, u can also checkout the below links...
Hope this helps...
"True friendship is like sound health;
the value of it is seldom known until it be lost"

Spotify Sweats Over
Bandwidth Problem as
Labels Vie for
Playlist Spots
Andy Gensler ,
Spotify was forced to defend itself against allegations it uses fake artists to cut costs last week, but the streaming service is facing another playlist problem. Billboard reports on the limited amount of space that record labels have to promote tunes on the service. Labels want their tunes at the top of the streaming charts, so the pressure is on the most popular subscription option.

I'm going to just throw this out for discussion rather than as an actual proposal:
The present constitution includes among the enumerated powers to Congress the authority to mint coins and regulate their value. All monetary policy authority pretty much is derived from that clause.
Obviously, the founders had gold or silver in mind at the time, and that remained the money of the US up until the Federal Reserve Act was established, with a few exceptions along the way (e.g., Lincoln's "Greenbacks"). FDR took us off the gold standard, and eventually even the silver certificates were replaced with "Federal Reserve Notes", i.e., fiat money.
Many economists will argue that a gold, silver, or bimetalic standard is not feasible or desirable in a modern economy. Others argue that a metalic standard is not only possible but desirable, mainly as an independent, physical restraint upon the inevitable temptation of politicians to inflate the money supply and debase the value of money.
I'm of two minds on this. On the one hand, I dread inflation, especially hyperinflation, and fear that we are in danger of it unless some independent controls are placed on the federal government. The discipline of a metalic standard could accomplish this. On the other hand, I fear that attempting a metalic standard will end up causing more problems than it solves.
This leads me to wonder: are a metalic standard or a wide open uncontrolled fiat money system our only options? Might there be something that avoids the problems of a metalic system, yet still subjects the money supply to tight control out of the hands of the politicans?
Those countries that seem to do the best job of keeping inflation under control have very independent central banks that operate under a clear mandate to preserve the value of the (fiat) currency. Switzerland is the model that particularly comes to mind. If we were to come closer to the Swiss model, what would we have to do?
1) Increase the independence of the Federal Reserve System. I'm not keen on the Chair or any of the governors being appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. But I'm not keen on the election of governors (for both the central bank and the 12 regional banks) being in the hands of the private sector banks, either. Would the direct election of the 12 governors by the voters, by region, with long and staggered terms, (and with the chair either elected by the governors or rotating) provide enough independence?

Expert Advice
We love sharing what we know, so here's some
information we think you'll find useful.
Platinum care – How to clean platinum
Platinum is a metal often chosen in fine jewellery for its uniquely durable properties and brilliant shine, offering a high standard of quality, and resistance to both fading and tarnishing. Nonetheless a platinum polish may be required from time to time in order to keep jewellery such as platinum engagement rings looking their best. The first step in how to clean platinum is understanding its unique properties.
Image Source: 1791Rings (Own work) via Creative Commons
Platinum jewellery will scratch with wear like all other precious metals. However, it will not change colour or fade in brilliance. When it is scratched, the metal is merely displaced rather than removed. Platinum's molecular structure is so dense that it is very hard to wear down, allowing it to retain the same weight over time. Although the platinum itself may not change colour or gain a heavy patina with age, the piece may look darker than when first purchased. Some people prefer this soft change in colour which can be easily buffed away by a jeweller should you prefer.
To best prevent damage, platinum jewellery, and indeed any precious metals, should be removed during housework or cleaning using bleach or other abrasive materials. Avoid wearing your jewellery during manual labour, including basic gardening and cleaning. When not being worn, jewellery should be properly stored in its own compartment or jewellery bag in order to prevent scratching either against hard surfaces, other jewellery, or even rough materials such as the denim of a trouser pocket.
How to polish platinum – Step by step
- Dedicated Gold or platinum polish is available, but using a mild detergent such as washing up liquid will also suffice. A few drops in lukewarm water will be ample for soaking platinum jewellery.
- Scrub your metal with a soft toothbrush or gentle hand cloth, taking care not to apply too great an amount of pressure which can scratch the finish of your piece.
- Allow the ring to air dry before buffing it gently with a clean, lint-free cloth. Cloths such as those used for cleaning glasses are ideal.
If your piece has gemstones in addition to the platinum, you should check with your jeweller before subjecting it to home-soaking. Some gemstones will require even gentler care. However, in most cases, methods for how to clean platinum are identical to how you would any other piece of fine jewellery.
In addition to soaking or polishing, jewellery can be kept looking its best by a professional jeweller who can restore its original lustre if necessary. This can be achieved either through buffing or being plated with rhodium for an added reflective sheen to leave you with a smooth, brilliant finish.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Recently named one of the top 25 sites to see in the state of Tennessee, the Hattiloo Theatre is without a doubt an eye-catching Memphis landmark.
With its tin shell and unique shape, it stands out among the many live performance venues in the area.
"In the company of Playhouse on the Square, in the company of Circuit, in the company of Theatre Works this is what we bring to the table of our great city," said Ekundayo Bandele.
The theatre moved to its current location on Cooper Street in the heart of Overton Square in June 2014.
The building was designed by Archimania.
"Even though this building is three to four times larger than the building where we started on Marshall it's still intimate," Bandele told WREG's Markova Reed. "The glass in the lobby, it invites you to come in. The red ceiling, it brings you in kind of as a vacuum and even the way we are able to configure the stage."
Hattiloo is comprised of three buildings and the theatre itself is in the center of those three. It's designed that way to keep out the noise while you're here for a performance.
But being noted as a top spot in the state of isn't the only big news at Hattiloo. Bandele, who founded the theatre in 2006, decided it was time for him to step away as artistic director. In April, he tapped award-winning playwright and Memphian Katori Hall to take the reins.
"Her voice and the way that she crafts plays just fits what we do here. She speaks the soul of the people. She writes the soul of the people."
Hall, who received critical acclaim for her play "The Mountaintop", wants Hattiloo to be a pipeline for new writers, actors and playwrights.
"I really want this to be a landmark institution that is cultivating the new voices," she said.
She also plans to bring in TV and big screen stars to act with local talent.
"The quality that is being put on the stage is remarkable, but I feel we want to bump it up in terms of the professional level."
Hattiloo is a vibrant part of the artistic landscape of Midtown and it's one more reason Memphians can be proud of what our city means to the state.
If you have an idea for Bright Spot, email Markova Reed at firstname.lastname@example.com, message her on Facebook, or send her a tweet.

Just In Case You Don't Believe Me
SOURCE: Texas Medicine Journal 2011 (Apr 1); 107 (4): 20-26
For those of you who want limited prescription rights, and believe that Organized Medicine wishes you well, please review this abstract from an Editorial in the Texas Medicine Journal.
Medicine Under Attack
The Texas Medical Association is fending off attacks on the practice of medicine by nonphysician practitioners who want to expand their scope of practice and diagnose and treat patients without going to medical school. Most recently, TMA went to court to protect patients, filing another lawsuit against the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners.
That, my friend, is the sound of war drums beating.
Did you notice their (not so) subtle counter-attack? Not only do they want to deny you the right to prescribe, they also question your ability (and right) to diagnose. And the AMA is happy to fund State Associations who'd like to cause this kind of mischief.
But.. isn't that a "normal reaction" against those who want to poach on their scope of practice? Wouldn't you do the same thing, if YOU were in their shoes?

The European Day of Languages recently took place in Salerno (Italy), organised by IALC school Accademia Italiana in cooperation with the Province of Salerno and the EU Italian representatives. It was supported by further IALC schools: BELS Malta, Liden and Denz, Accademia Columbus and GCI. Institutions taking part included the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Education and the European University Centre of Cultural Heritage. Various panelists made outstanding contributions to the theme of the day: Alessandra Centis and Raphael Gallus (European Commission), Massimo Vedovelli (Rector of University For Foreigners of Siena), Emilio D'Agostino (professor of University of Salerno), Salvatore La Rocca (European University Centre of Cultural Heritage) and there was a videoconference with IALC President, Walter Denz.
About 100 students and teachers, schools directors, universities and private institutions took part in the conference, workshop, seminars and classes in eight different languages: English, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Polish, Romanian and Russian.
The event ended with a student competition. Eight winners were awarded scholarships for language courses abroad in Ireland, Malta, Russia, Mexico and Costa Rica.
The European day of Languages in Salerno was a successful event with educational importance that aimed to raise awareness of multilingualism in a European multi-ethnic context.

I've been deep in the depths of revision for the past few weeks — polishing up a picture book and a middle grade mystery. They are both done (*pause for cheering & confetti here*) and on submission now, and I have big plans for a post-revision reading binge. But before I do that, I want to talk about a handful of books I've read lately that you might like, too. Ready?
Amy Ignatow's THE POPULARITY PAPERS: RESEARCH FOR THE SOCIAL IMPROVEMENT AND GENERAL BETTERMENT OF LYDIA GOLDBLATT AND JULIE GRAHAM CHANG is the book to hand to your girls who are fans of the Wimpy Kid series. It's that same diary/graphic novel blend that keeps even reluctant readers turning pages and laughing like crazy. Interestingly enough, the main characters in this are in fifth grade, but it's going over really well with some of my 7th grade girls, even though they're a bit older. (Due out from Amulet April 1st)
I can't keep Lisa Schroeder's CHASING BROOKLYN on my classroom library shelf – it's one of those books that gets handed from kid to kid in the cafeteria and never makes it all the way back to my classroom, and that's just fine. I understand why the kids love it, too. Set at the same high school as Lisa's I HEART YOU, YOU HAUNT ME, her latest YA novel-in-verse is about love and loss, remembering and moving forward. It left me in tears, but they were good ones – the kind you cry when you've just read an amazing book that's full of sorrow and beauty and hope all at once. It's a a beautiful, beautiful book. (Available now from Simon & Schuster)
Fans of Jerry Spinelli's MILKWEED and Lois Lowry's NUMBER THE STARS will love ONCE by Morris Gleitzman. One of my 7th grade students absolutely devours historical fiction set during the Holocaust, and she was waiting for this ARC, standing at my desk, tapping her foot as I turned the last page.
The main character, Felix, begins the story as a unique (and heartbreaking) unreliable narrator. He's a Jewish boy, hidden in a Catholic orphanage, and utterly unaware of the danger he's facing. When he sets out to find his parents, he sees evidence of the Nazis destruction but misinterprets much of it, placing himself squarely in harm's way. Ultimately, though, he's faced with too much reality to go on believing the stories he's told himself, and from there, the book chronicles his loss of innocence and his coming of age in the worst of times. It's beautifully written and though like many books set during the Holocaust, it's tough to read at times, it's certainly not without hope. Highly recommended, it comes out from Henry Holt March 30th.
Two days after turning the last page of NOTHING by Janne Teller, I'm still struggling over what to write about it. I can't really say that I liked it, since I read most of it with a pained expression on my face. But is it brilliantly well-written? And smart? And incredibly thought-provoking? Yes, yes, and yes.
The premise is simple and kind of horrifying: A 7th grader climbs up into a tree and says he's not coming down because there's really no meaning in life anyway. His classmates, u…more So let's talk about NOTHING by Janne Teller now. I couldn't decide at first if I should include this in a post about "books I love" because it's hard for me to say that I loved this story. I was mostly horrified by it. But is it brilliantly well-written? And smart? And thought-provoking? Yes, yes, and yes. Plus, there's the fact that I finished it a few weeks ago, and here I am still thinking about it, so that means something, too.
The premise is simple and troubling: A 7th grader climbs up into a tree and says he's not coming down because there's really no meaning in life anyway. His classmates, unsettled by his proclamation and desperate to make him come down out of that tree, begin to assemble a collection of "meaning," a heap of items… sacrifices, really…that they hope will convince the kid once and for all that there is meaning. The sacrifices start with simple, treasured kid-things and escalate in nature to the truly chilling.
This could make a very, very good literature circles choice for older middle school or high school kids. There's sure plenty to talk about, and it's like nothing I've ever read, except maybe Lord of the Flies. If you read it, I'd really love to hear what you think. (out now from Atheneum)
And finally, on a far more cheerful note…
This picture book from the author of the DAY-GLO BROTHERS is one of the funniest I've read in a long time. The premise is simple – two boys pull toys from a toy box and start a battle with them. One has a shark, the other a train, and the result is a hilarious series of competitions in which Shark and Train face off in everything from high-diving to trick-or-treating. Laugh-out-loud text with fun, lively illustrations and a lot of little details in the art that add another layer of humor for moms and dads reading aloud. Loved it! (Coming from Little, Brown in April.)
Now I'm reading this…
An ARC of Holly Black's WHITE CAT (coming from Margaret K. McElderry May 4th), and let me tell you… that Holly Black knows how to get a reader's attention from page one – Loving it so far!
What have you read & loved lately? Anything I need to add to my post-revision reading binge pile?

Skip to 0 minutes and 4 seconds This course is based on part of the certificates in Obesity Management, a module offered by the University of Reading, which was developed with the help of academic staff, local clinicians, and national experts. The module's been running for five years and has attracted a wide range of participants both locally, nationally, and from overseas. We hope that this shortened version will be equally attractive to you, wherever you live or whatever your interests are. You'll be finding out that obesity is an excessive accumulation of body fat sufficient to impair health, and that it's now seen as a chronic, life-threatening disease which is an independent risk factor or aggravating problem for at least 30 common health conditions.
Skip to 0 minutes and 51 seconds We often talk about the obesity epidemic, but recognition of the effects of being overweight is nothing new. In the fourth century BC, Hippocrates wrote, "Men of a stout disposition are more likely to die suddenly than those who are lean." Throughout this course, we use the word obesity, which, as you'll see later, has been defined by the World Health Organisation and is the term most often used in scientific research. But the word can be contentious and is sometimes seen as a value-laden term that says something about the person using it. Some interesting research on terminology was done in 2003.
Skip to 1 minute and 34 seconds Obese men and women in the study rated the terms obesity and fatness as undesirable words for their doctors to use when discussing their body weight. The words obesity and fat were thought to be hurtful or offensive to individuals because of their disrespectful use in everyday life. The term weight was rated more favourably because it's seen as non-judgmental and easily understood. BMI, or body mass index, was also seen to be a non-judgmental term, but one that was not generally well known. And if you've not come across it before, we'll be discussing it later in the course. However, despite this research, we've decided to stick with using the term obesity, as it's the one used most often in scientific research.
Skip to 2 minutes and 24 seconds So we hope that our use of this word does not offend. It would be interesting to know what you think about this. So do leave your thoughts in the comments section below.
Introduction to obesity
What do we mean by the term 'obesity'? Throughout the course we'll use the World Health Organisation's definition, which we'll explore in more detail in this video.
Here we use the term 'obesity' as it is the term most used in the context of scientific research. However, we are aware that many people find the use of this word a sensitive topic.
You might want to share your views on the term 'obesity', and others you may use in the comments area.

Yes, I'm Sure It's Not Twins: Dealing with Unsolicited Pregnancy and Parenting AdviceMotherhood
Apr 18, 2018
Depending on who you ask, feeding your kid chicken nuggets is child abuse. Also depending on who you ask, not feeding your kid chicken nuggets is child abuse. Bet you didn't know that no matter what you do during pregnancy, birth, and parenting—you're always wrong, huh?
While judgment, bullying, and clashing opinions are everywhere in our society, there's nothing quite like a pregnancy to bring people together in giving you their unsolicited, and often unwanted, advice. Whether it's to inform you that you shouldn't exercise in pregnancy or you should eat dates to prevent you from going overdue; everyone you come into contact with has a piece of advice they'd like you to take to heart as you embark on parenthood.
So what can you do to gracefully fend off the comments, while keeping your relationships intact? Well, there are a few different approaches to try out.
The Smile and Nod
The Smile and Nod works best on total strangers in the grocery checkout. You'll encounter several mostly-well-meaning men and women throughout the course of your pregnancy who don't know you but feel compelled to let you know that you're big enough to be carrying twins, or that your baby should have a coat on, or you had better not eat that entire bag of cookies. The smile and nod will appease them long enough for you to escape. You could even throw in a short and sweet "thanks for sharing!"
The Respect Your Elder
The Respect Your Elder is the one you use on your well-meaning-yet-overbearing granny or uncle. You don't really want to start a fight or hurt their feelings by telling them to buzz off, but you want to put a stop on the admonitions to give a teething baby whiskey. Try acknowledging the years of experience that have led them to sharing with you today: "Thanks for caring so much about our baby—I know you've earned a lot of wisdom after raising your own kids to adulthood." Then continue to do your own thing, of course. You could also try sharing articles about current medical and safety guidelines.
The Doctor Says
The Doctor Says works on almost anyone—from strangers, to close friends, to mom group attendees, to relatives. We're bringing out the big guns here: nobody questions the doctor's advice. When others' opinions about safe sleep, weaning, illness prevention, or any other heated topic get in the way, using your doctor as a scapegoat works like a charm. "Thanks, we'll look into that, but our baby's pediatrician actually advised us to lay him on his back to sleep."
Unwanted pregnancy and parenting advice can be a little annoying, or at worst even make us second guess our own knowledge and decisions. Although these tips may not be able to keep every unsolicited opinion at bay, you can rest easy in the knowledge that your instincts will guide you to give your baby your best.

She has had the honour of attending over 1400 births in the last 20 years. She is well-known and greatly respected by the medical providers in Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, Brooks, Taber, and Calgary. She cares deeply for this profession and even more for her clientele, honoring them in whatever method of birth they choose, or helping them transition to new parenthood as they wish.

Hey, Are You 65 Or Over? Want to Defer Up To $5,000 on Your Property Tax?
Kane County Treasurer David Rickert is reminding taxpayers that information and forms for the Senior Citizens Property Tax Deferral program are now available in the Treasurer's Office.
The program allows qualified senior citizens to defer all or part of their 2018 property taxes up to $5,000 on their personal residence. Applications must be filed with the Treasurer's Office by March 1, 2019, in order to defer 2018 taxes billed in 2019.
To qualify, a person must be 65 or over by June 1, 2019, have a total household income of $55,000 or less, and have lived in the property for at least three years.
In addition, there must be no delinquent taxes on the property. Also, if the property is subject to a mortgage then your mortgage company would also have to approve your participation in the program.
Qualified taxpayers can defer taxes totaling up to 80 percent of the equity interest they have in the home. The program provides funding at a six percent simple interest rate which doesn't require repayment until the taxpayer sells the property or until after the taxpayer's death.
To apply for the program, the person has to file two forms with the Kane County Treasurer's Office.
The first form (IL1017 TD) asks for basic information on the taxpayer, their income and their property. It also requires that joint owners agree to the tax deferral. In addition, it requires that evidence be presented of adequate insurance on the property.
The second form (IL1018 TD) is the agreement for the tax deferral. It sets out the conditions of the deferral, including the amount which can be deferred, the interest rate and the arrangements for paying back the "loan".
If you have any questions about this program, please contact the Kane County Treasurer's Office, 719 South Batavia Ave. in Geneva. The phone number is 630-232-3565.

Making Work Life Less Ordinary
21st July 2017
The contemporary workplace is in flux. We are at saturation point in terms of workload and performance. New innovation and technology has greatly impacted the way we work, opening up new possibilities for the 'ideal workplace' of the future.
On the one hand, the digital world has taken over so much of the work process. We can do almost anything online and work remotely on a global scale. However whilst we enjoy digital flexibility, we must consider the human experience first – giving priority to the human body and how we experience our actual built environments.
'Making Work Life Less Ordinary' presents three commercial brands which each reflect a key way in which the office environment can enhance our daily experience of the workplace: especially within the creative industries.
The new Okidoki range, by ThinkingWorks exclusive to District - combines traditional workstation environments with contemporary aesthetics and materials. The range is customisable and seamlessly adapts to large and small – as well as formal or playful – corporate environments. It can be pared back and simplified, whilst also offering a range of functional add-ons for the agile working environment.
Presented alongside Okidoki is the new Sofi-mesh task chair by Håg. Håg represents the very essence of Scandinavian ergonomics and provides a range of seating solutions for any workplace application. Whilst we have become more tech-savvy, we have also become more sedentary in our daily working lives. Håg's principal focus is on accommodating the human body's need for freedom of movement whilst seated.
Finally, Simon James Design presents sophisticated, flexible and innovative furniture for breakout areas, which have increasing relevance to the agile working environment. Innovation is often best activated in informal, intimate and human-scale spaces. The new Cabin Chair provides comfortable and private workspaces that facilitate brainstorming, connection, conversation and idea-sharing. The Simon James range can be flexibly adapted to both large and small work environments, and offers customisable add-ons such as power and data to accommodate our digital lives.

A friend from college posted some pictures recently, including this one of my flag-football team:
We thought of ourselves as this sort of rag-tag, bad news bearish sort of team. In retrospect, we look like babies wearing eye black.
But look how tough the one with the cigarette looks! It was a trend.
(Trivia: The one to my right, making goofy, is now a medical doctor. Who knew?)

Picture Of The Day (9-28-06)
Red Sails In The Sunset of course! From 1975's Gotta Travel On show.
Tuesday, September 26, 2006
Lynn Anderson
Her time on the show may be so brief (1967 to 1969), but she was so popular that she parlayed it to a very successful country music recording career....remember her super number one smash "Rose Garden?"
There is also an baskeball arena in Portland, Oregon called the Rose Garden....I wonder if the Trail Blazers and their fans are also Lynn Anderson fans?
The native of Grand Forks, ND continues to make music, as well as her famous songwriter mom Liz Anderson, you can check it out on her own webpage.
Happy Birthday Lynn!

Arthur Duncan
Now today is the day we celebrate his day....Happy Birthday Arthur!
Arthur Duncan
Sunday, September 24, 2006
The maestro had Henry Mancini himself as his special guest, and the man behind the music of Pink Panther played two of his hits on the piano, "Days Of Wine And Roses" and "The Sweetheart Tree". We also had Arthur Duncan dancing to "Jeepers Creepers" and Guy & Ralna a great rendition of "All His Children".
There were several great numbers in the show, Gail Farrell and Larry Hooper teamed up at the piano with their rendition of "You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby" in which both looked and sounded cute. Myron Floren played "Charade" on his accordian, and the orchestra had several great instrumentals such as the popular standby, "That Old Black Magic" along with "Laura's Theme."
The girls chorus sang "Send A Little Love My Way" which came from the motion picture Oklahoma Crude, here's our dancers Cissy & Bobby, Jack & Mary Lou adding some dance steps to some nice harmonies followed by Clay Hart with "Hey Porter" and "Moon River" by Joe Feeney.
We also had Anacani and Tanya team up for "Accentuate The Postive" and the whole gang teaming up for the finale with "In The Cool, Cool, Cool Of The Evening"....putting the cork on yet another vintage show filled with music and melodies that is sweet sounds to anyone's ear.
Mary Lou had Bobby Burgess on as her guest to be interviewed, and he talked about how he not just danced but can play the accordian. He also mentioned his days on the Mickey Mouse Club television program which was an ideal breeding ground for what's to come next, The Lawrence Welk Show; plus his family where he and wife Kristi enjoy going out to dance, and he and kids are teaching Southern California how to dance.
Next week I believe is "School Days", see you all later!
Guy Hovis
The man we know as one half of Guy & Ralna hails from Tupelo, Mississippi where one cannot help but be musical. Orginally, he planned on being an accountant after graduating from Ole Miss (University Of Mississippi), but thankfully decided on being a musician which led him to 12 wunnerful seasons on The Lawrence Welk Show.
Oh, he and Ralna English were husband and wife from 1969 to 1984.
Now remarried, to Sis Lundy Hovis, he makes his home in Jackson and when he isn't singing....he works as head of US Senator Trent Lott's state offices.
Happy Birthday Guy, may there be many more down the road!

Elaine Balden
This Texas native attended Sam Houston State, and once appeared as a dancer on one of the annual Jerry Lewis Telethons as one of her highlights prior to joining Lawrence Welk in 1979. Today, happily married to Jim Balden, she's the mother of two daughters and teaches her craft to a new generation of dancers.
Happy Birthday Elaine.....let us do the Tango in your honor!

Can You Recognize This Music Maker?
Whether he wore glasses or not, Henry was one fine clarinet and saxophone player who played for the Welk Orchestra from 1972 to 1982 and continued to perform live across the country afterwards, especially with the Live Lawrence Welk Tours up until his death in December 2003.
He even had a musical arrangement named after him, "Oh Henry."

Salute To Roses
The show, first blossomed on TV back in June 1971, has alot of rose songs. such as "Rambling Rose" by Clay Hart, Primrose Lane by Guy & Ralna, Mary Lou Metzger and Bob Lido with "San Antonio Rose" complete with Hotsy Totsy Boys and Ken Delo singing "Red Roses For A Blue Lady."
If any of you guys don't like roses...here are some more roses...LOL!
Bobby & Cissy dance to a nice instrumental of Henry Mancini's "Days Of Wine And Roses", Myron Floren plays a rousing "Yellow Rose Of Texas" complete with our two favorite dancers cutting an rug the size of Tyler (Texas that is)....oh and did you know that Tyler, TX is a mecca for roses in the USA, you learn something new everyday.
We also have Sandi & Sally singing Lynn Anderson's uber-hit "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden", and below we have Gail and Dale (Gail Farrell and Dick Dale) singing "One Dozen Roses" to close out the show.
All in all....a very "rosy" show, perfect for any thorn birds!Mary Lou this week interviews Ralna English, one of the more engaging interviews of the season with the Texas Rose....just keeping in theme this week....talking about her start in singing from Haskell, TX...her hometown....to places such as Six Flags, The Horn and eventually the Lawrence Welk Show. She also chats about her daughter Julie, now a teacher, living in Arizona (Go Cardinals!) and touring on the road with Guy Hovis, who suprises everyone by making an appearance on camera.
See you all guys next week....and always keep a song in your heart!

It's More Than Just Password....It's
So far, from what I have watched....Janet has proven to be a very good Password player, plus her years on the Welk show have made her a very entertaining and easy to root for. Here's Janet trying to guess the password from clues given by her partner.
And towards the end of the show, knowing that she's on the show...this following puzzle is an ode to Janet's association with the Champagne Music Makers, but in a cruel twist of fate...it was Monty Hall's team that guessed the puzzle correctly and won $100 dollars! Here's the puzzle below.
And the password for today is "Wunnerful", which means that both shows on TV are simply "wunnerful, wunnerful!"

Season Premiere: The ABC Finale
Here's the maestro getting the show started, and reminding everyone that next week you can watch the show on syndication....which would turn out to be a nice little run of eleven years. The band kicks things off with "Say It With Music" which ironically, was the first musical selection played on the very first network show back in 1955.
Sandi & Sally once again proved they were America's Sweethearts when they next came out with their number, "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter" which had a great beat to it. There was also the "Three Musketeers" of Clay Hart, Buddy Merrill and Neil Levang with their guitars with "Gentle On My Mind" in which Clay sung the vocals. I also forgot there's Richard Maloof on bass, also known as the "fourth" musketeer.
There were plenty of fine numbers in the show, such as "Calcutta", "True Love" by Guy & Ralna and "It's A Most Unusual Day" sung by Gail Farrell and her friends below. It's rapidly becoming one of my favorite numbers on the show, musically and visually.
Tanya was next with "That's Amore" along with Dick Dale singing "Manny Sue" with a little help from Barney Liddell at trombone. And for a great way to conclude the last ever program on PBS, have Bob Lido, Mary Lou Metzger and the Hotsy Totsy Boys go crazy with "Runnin' Wild", and I can betcha that the network drove itself crazy when the lost a good share of their ratings to syndication!
Time now for Mary Lou's interview segment, and it was Dick Dale in the hot seat. He talked about his start in showbiz, growing up in Algona, Iowa....and the interesting people he met during his years of performing. Would you believe that Dick came to the Music Makers from Harold Loeffelmacher and his Six Fat Dutchmen?
That's this week's show in a nutshell....next week it's another instant classic, Salute To Roses, see you all on the flip side!

So what do you think? It's worth a shot for sure.. I know it will be a hit because who doesn't love cake and cream and fruit when the summer is fast approaching!!
Have a great weekend folks!
What a beautiful cake! I love how the finished product looks. I do have to say that I've made a few cakes with syrups lately and do enjoy the texture it gives, but it does seem a bit crazy when you think about it!ReplyDelete
We both choose to garnish our cakes with mint Hazel! Yippee for mint. I love the look of your naked cake. I don't think the batter would have got into one 8 inch cake either as I had loads of the stuff. Tasted good though ☺ Laura@ Baking in PyjamasReplyDelete
Beautiful, Hazel! I agree on the simple syrups - seems like you'd just have wet cake!ReplyDelete
Looks lovely! Glad to hear that it was a traditional genoise- it doesn't make me feel bad for skipping it. I love it too though!ReplyDelete
Wow Hazel, your cake looks amazing and I love that you decorated it as a naked cake. Also, I totally agree about the raspberries. I love them, but they are usually so expensive. Luckily I found a larger punnet at Sam's Club for a reasonable price or it would have been a very expensive cake.ReplyDelete
This is so pretty! I agree, if a cake needs syrup something is either wrong with the recipe or it is overbaked. I wanted to try this one but it seemed like a lot of steps!ReplyDelete
What a pretty cake! Raspberries are very expensive and not easy to find over here. Your cake looks delicious! Perfectly baked!ReplyDelete
Love love your naked cake sides! Perfect, as always! As long as there is liquor in the syrup, fine by me, hahaha!ReplyDelete
Oh Hazel, I swoon looking at your perfectly fluffy genoise sponge! I need to know your secrets. It is sooooo perfect. Wasn't this a lovely bake? We quite enjoyed it at my house.ReplyDelete
This cake is definitely on my to do list. Yours looks absolutely delicious.ReplyDelete

One of my issues with many Pagan groups is the mixed message they send on public presence. Some groups have a highly obfuscated public presence. They run open classes, do workshops, and hold regularly scheduled public rituals several times a year. These may be advertised in the old-fashioned way–flyers in metaphysical shops and word-of-mouth–or they may not be advertised at all. This group may even have a public name, but if you google it you won't be able to find up-to-date information very easily.
There are a couple of problems with this scenario. One of the most major is that a lot of people who might want to see your public rituals or who have been to a public ritual and want to know more… can't find out anything. They can't even contact your group for more information without playing a game of associations and asking "do you know who I can contact in order to get in touch with this group?" They may want to come to your next public ritual, but can't figure out when it is, where it is, or if it is even happening. Or they may simply be curious and came to your workshop and now want to know more about what you do, but they can't even figure out when the next one is or what topic is being covered.
For example, there is a local group that hosts regular public rituals. Recently, we were trying to find information on when their open Samhain ritual is (which is always run by the same group, every year, and has a large turnout), and it turns out that it is virtually impossible to get information on when and where it will be. You can spend an hour of searching online and not find the specific information you need if you want to attend the event.
That's ridiculous.
It is simply no longer enough to pass out flyers at the local metaphysical store or even a yahoo group, facebook page, or a witchvox listing: these services are simply not as searchable or indexed as they need to be for people to get useful information out of them or to find them in the first place. The current way that the world is moving, if you want to be public–even as so much as to run the odd public ritual or class–you should have at least the following information in a readily accessible location online:
- Group name
- Who you are
- What you publicly offer
- Calendar (or, realistically, an up-to-date list of things you are doing, where to find them, etc)
- An email address
That's it. It doesn't have to be fancy. It can be a single page on the internet. It can be at a domain that ends with .wordpress.com or .blogspot.com, the email address can be an anonymous or group-run email address from a free-provider. None of this is difficult to learn how to do, but it needs to be done.
Privacy Concerns
The Pagan community still has significant concerns about privacy and anonymity.
Pagan names are quite common, and are frequently kept entirely distinct from a person's
mundane identity. There is still a great deal of fear–possibly justified–about backlash from employers or family.
It's not that these are not valid concerns, but the important thing to realize is that they are manageable concerns. The name/email address that you use do not have to be the same as the ones on your LinkedIn profile or Facebook page, not every member of the group needs to be (or necessarily should be), and you don't even need to have a single member of the group listed so long as there is a place to get in touch with the group as a whole.
On that note, just to flip the concern slightly: I shouldn't have to give up personal information–including email address or facebook profile–in order to know when your open public ritual is. So I shouldn't need a filled out yahoo profile (especially when I've caught yahoo giving my email to spammers) or have to sign up for your mailing list, or join a facebook group. If it is a truly public ritual, then I should be able to find the information through a google search and be ready to go.
The easiest route from here is to honestly evaluate yourselves as a group: do you want to be findable, or is what you are doing such that people could reasonably want to find you? If you are running public rituals or workshops, the answer here should most likely be
yes, even if it is in a limited sense and under a separate group name. If you are only-semi open, working off of invitation-only word-of-mouth networking, then the answer is not as clear cut and maybe a yahoo/google group or a facebook page are sufficient. If you are mostly private and don't want to provide public information in any sense or have any designs on a significant public presence, then the answer is going to be probably not.
From there, if you decide that you should have one, just assign someone to take point on figuring out how to do it. It really doesn't need to be fancy, but the more sites we can get out there that help people with finding these resources the better. If that person leaves the group for whatever reason, have them transfer ownership to another individual so that someone is always in charge of it. This helps keep it from becoming a dead listing without of date information, which is a topic for another time.
This is one of the areas where we cannot have our cake and eat it too: Decide if you want to be public, and if you do, do it right. You can change your mind later and post something to the effect of
we have no future public plans at this time on your website or take it down entirely, but if you have a public presence in the moment, have the resources so that people can actually see it so long as it is up.
We need to face that as a community we have become sufficiently widespread that it is not enough to depend on word of mouth. People can get their occultism-related supplies online, take classes on the internet, and even do some of their rituals online. While there is still a great deal of value in working in-person, we as a community need to start adjusting to the realities of the community we are serving.

With the passing of Alexander Solzhenitsyn yesterday the world lost not only a political hero and Nobel laureate but also an enduring piece of its moral conscience.
Surely Solzhenitsyn will go down in history (and rightfully so) as a hero who was willing to stand up to a repressive Soviet government and then pay for his courage. He will also be remembered as the man who exposed the Soviet gulag system to the rest of the world.
But hopefully his readers in the West will not forget that he also had harsh words for us. After leaving the Soviet Union in 1974 and settling in the United States Solzhenitsyn did not settle into comfortable academic exile – although certainly he could have.
Instead, he looked his host country in the face and said that he had no choice but to critique its lack of courage. The 1978 commencement address he gave at Harvard was one such occasion when he declined to flatter us and instead spoke the words he believed we needed to hear.
He lost some supporters in some quarters when he did so but in others he garnered fresh admiration.
We all prefer to be praised but it requires a more courageous spirit of friendship to speak the truth (as the speaker sees it – right or wrong) instead. In that sense, all the world lost a great friend yesterday with the passing of Solzhenitsyn.

"...The official "defining moment" of the campaign was Gordon Brown's unguarded post-photo-op dismissal of Gillian Duffy as a "bigoted woman." Mrs. Duffy, a plain-spoken working-class granny and lifelong Labour voter, had made the mistake of asking Mr. Brown, her party leader, a very mild question about immigrants from eastern Europe. He got back in his car and wrote her off, forgetting he was still miked. So she's a "bigot." He's not. That's why he makes all the decisions for her, and she just makes the best of them. What part of that don't you understand?
The other "defining moment" got less coverage. Another "pensioner," 74-year-old Roy Newman, got sick of the various party hacks knocking on his door and put a sign up in his front window: "GET THE LOT OUT." Ninety minutes later, two police officers arrived at his home to arrest him for "racism."
Racism? Why, yes. His sign was a piece of white card with red and blue lettering. Red-white-and-blue, geddit? The colours of the Union Jack. If using the same colour scheme as the national flag isn't coded racism, I don't know what is. Mr. Newman was prevailed upon to alter some of the letters to yellow, thereby diminishing the racist subtext.
With bigotry and racism running rampant, it was inevitable that homophobia would raise its ugly head. Dale McAlpine, a practising (wait for it) Christian, was handing out leaflets in the town of Workington and chit-chatting with shoppers when he was arrested on a "public order" charge by police officer Sam Adams (no relation), a gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community outreach officer. Mr. McAlpine said homosexuality is a sin. "I'm gay," said Officer Adams. Well, it's still a sin, said Mr. McAlpine. So Officer Adams arrested him for causing distress to Officer Adams.
In fairness, I should add that Mr. McAlpine was also arrested for causing distress to members of the public more generally, rather than just the aggrieved gay constable. No member of the public actually complained, but, as Officer Adams pointed out, Mr. McAlpine was talking "in a loud voice" that might be "overheard by others." And we can't have that, can we? So he was fingerprinted, DNA-sampled and tossed in the cells for seven hours.
The other day, upholding the sacking of a black Christian for declining to provide "sex therapy lessons" to gay couples, Lord Justice Laws ruled that "law for the protection of a position held purely on religious grounds is irrational, divisive, capricious, arbitrary." Actually it's the law of Lord Justice Laws that is increasingly "irrational, divisive, capricious, arbitrary." Or as George Orwell, in Animal Farm, formulated it: all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. In the land of Laws, a gay is more equal than a Christian. A Muslim is more equal than anybody. A black man is more equal than a white man, unless the white man is gay and the black man a Christian. An eco-zealot is more equal than an Anglican. Not long before Lord Justice Laws' decision on the "irrationality" of legal protection for Christianity, Tim Nicholson, a "Head of Sustainability" fired for questioning his property management group's environmental policies, sued for wrongful dismissal under "Employment Equality (Religion And Beliefs) Regulations." He wound up with the best part of one hundred thousand pounds after Mr. Justice Burton ruled that Mr. Nicholson's faith in anthropogenic global warming was a "philosophical belief" on a par with religion. So the Employment Equality (Religion And Beliefs) Law protects belief in apocalyptic "climate change" but not in Jesus.
As for Muslims, in December Tohseef Shah sprayed the words "KILL GORDON BROWN," "OSAMA IS ON HIS WAY" and "ISLAM WILL DOMINATE THE WORLD" on the war memorial at Burton-upon-Trent. But the Crown Prosecution Service decided his words were not "religiously motivated." Phew! Thank goodness for that, eh? So a week or so back he walked out of court a free man, except for £500 in compensation to the municipal council for cleaning off his non-religiously motivated "ISLAM WILL DOMINATE THE WORLD" graffito.
I am currently slogging my way through a rather stodgy 650-page tome called Extreme Speech And Democracy. On the back is a question from Christopher McCrudden, professor of human rights law at Oxford: "What are the appropriate limits to freedom of expression in societies that wish to be democratic, multicultural, and committed to the human rights of all?"
Whether or not you regard that as a legitimate query, it's certainly an irrelevant one. Because whatever you decide are the "appropriate" limits, by the time they percolate down to the transgendered liaison officer patrolling Workington shopping centre they'll be reliably inappropriate. As I always point out in retailing the latest idiocy from Canada's "human rights" fanatics, none of the above are "right-wing" in any sense that Steyn or Rumsfeld or Cheney would recognize the term. Mrs. Duffy is a lifelong Labour voter; Mr. Newman is one of those pox-on-all-their-houses types; the property company that fired Mr. Nicholson is so wretchedly politically correct it employed him as "Head of Sustainability," a title of near parodic bogusness. Yet all fell afoul of Lord Justice Laws' "irrational, divisive, capricious, arbitrary" laws. Because it's hard not to. Because once you establish the principle that the state has the right to police ideas, sooner or later one of yours will catch their eye. I say "principle," but that's not really the word. The spirit is more aptly caught by a new joint initiative by the Canadian "Human Rights" Commission, the Manitoba "Human Rights" Commission and the Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba to "promote and enhance the learning experience relative to human and treaty rights for all people living in Canada and around the world." No idea what that means, but, as the CHRC press release says, this is the first time that these three useless taxpayer-funded sinecures have come together to "further their cause." Since when do government agencies have ideological "causes"? And what happens if you disagree with their "cause"?
Professor McCrudden's question on "appropriate" limits is very adroitly formulated: in today's advanced Western society, there are no absolute rights—for all individual freedoms must be "balanced" against the state's commitment to "multiculturalism" or "equality" or whatever other modish conceit tickles its fancy. Everybody talks like this now: for Canada's Chief Censor, Jennifer Lynch, Q.C., freedom of expression is just one menu item in the great Canadian salad bar of rights, so don't be surprised if we're occasionally out of stock. Instead, why not try one of our tasty nutritious rights du jour? Like the human right to a transsexual labiaplasty, or (per a recent Quebec ruling) the human right to non-Eurocentric table manners. Real "rights" are restraints upon the state—"negative" rights, as constitutionalists have it; they delineate the limits of the sovereign's power. But in the modern era "rights" are baubles in the state's gift, and the sovereign confers them at the expense of individual liberty. Truly, this is an Orwellian assault on the very foundations of freedom.
As for the "balancing act" that Professor McCrudden urges between individual rights and broader responsibilities, only a truly free people have the incentive even to seek it. The more you haul nobodies off to the cells for putting up a poster or quoting the Bible, the more a timid conformist populace will keep its head down, mind its own business, and avoid broader social engagement—or at any rate non-alcohol-fuelled engagement. Big Government is dismantling civic identity, and the slow-burn bonfire of liberties in Europe and North America will eventually consume us all."
Yet another must-read that sums it up well. John Derbyshire's transcript of the May 7, Radio Derb broadcast:
"02 — U.K. election. We have a result in the British general election. David Cameron's Conservative Party has won a plurality of seats in Parliament, but not enough to govern firmly. It's hard to get very worked up about this, as the three parties in contention can fairly be described as Left of Center, Center-Left, and Tree-Hugger Left. Certainly there is nothing conservative about David Cameron's Conservatives. It would be very difficult indeed to name anything they wish to conserve: not Britain's ancient demographic core, not the nuclear family, not restraint in public financing, not liberties of speech or assembly, not public respect for the Christian religion, not Britain's traditional wariness of European entanglements, not Britain's traditional warmth towards and co-operation with the old British-settler nations, not civic order and the suppression of crime by fair policing, not respect for rank and authority, not control over the national debt … There is no subject you can name on which Cameron's "Conservatives" wish to conserve any more than Gordon Brown's Laborites, though I'll concede that neither party would call in the U.N. to force a macrobiotic diet on the population, as Nicholas Clegg's Liberal Democrats would. Cameron and Brown may want to make homosexuals a Designated Victim Class, with special rights and privileges, but Clegg's party would make homosexuality compulsory. In this respect, at least, the Brits have dodged a bullet. Frankly, I'm past caring. The old England I grew up in, the England of stoicism and bitter beer and dry humor, the England in which it was bad form to take public affairs too seriously, the England of puddings and bobbies and weird regional accents, of casual snobbery and dim old churches and the smell of soft coal burning, the England of, as George Orwell famously wrote, "old maids biking to Holy Communion through the mists of the autumn morning" — that England's as dead as the Wild West. It's been replaced by a multicultural bazaar with a feral underclass and a vast, suffocating public sector, neither of which it can any longer afford. The educated classes are sunk deep in ethnomasochism — hatred of their own ancestors, of themselves really. Teenage girls get pregnant and are given public housing and a dole, while married couples struggle to pay their tax bills. The borders are open to foreign agitators who loudly declare their hatred for Britain, while old folk who survived the bombs and shortages of Hitler's war are sneered at as Nazis. When you come home to find burglars have looted your house, don't bother calling the police; they'll just give you an incident number for the insurance company; but try flying the national flag in your front yard — a squad car full of cops will kick your door down and tase you in the living-room for "racism." I couldn't care less about Britain any more. I'm nostalgic for what used to be, but I don't have any illusions any of it is coming back. These smooth-faced managerial types aim only to drag their country further along the road to perdition, with just minor differences in the speed of dragging. I said my goodbyes to England long ago. Let's turn our attention to a place that is still, in spite of some of the same dismal trends, a real country."
Both my wife and I, but especially I, are anglophiles. Long before I met her, I spent biking holidays in Kent and the Lake District, and visited London often. Our honeymoon took us through the south and up north again till Blenheim Palace, where in the village nearby I paid respect to Winston Churchill at the site of the family grave.
... a bunch of insane politicians INCLUDING the so-called Conservatives are DESTROYING the country I loved so much in times past.
I am beginning to feel more and more like a lone Roman legionnaire in a foxhole outside Rome in 410, with a Visigoth army steamrollering toward me up front, and a fornicating and partying drunk bunch of degenerates in my back.
P.S.: the Roy Newman case. They said the Union Jack-coloured lettering on a white background could be considered 'racist'. He was told there had been a single complaint and he was ordered to remove it or change it otherwise he would end up in court.

Geffrye Museum, Hoxton
On Saturday I visited the Geffrye Museum in Hoxton after my parents went a few weeks ago and recommended it.
Located right next to the station the museum was very easy to reach on the London Overground and it was only my second Overground venture north of the river since I've been back from Australia (I'm not very adventurous I know).
I'd only absorbed from my parents that they enjoyed the museum, but had failed to take on board what type of museum it was. It turns out the "The Geffrye Museum depicts the quintessential style of English middle-class (houses)... from 1600 to the present day."
Each house / period in time had two rooms of the museum dedicated to it. The first room had a large cut away drawing of the house giving details of how it was built, typical layout and what the different rooms were used for. The second room of the museum for each period in time was decorated as the drawing / living room from the relevant period.
I was a big fan of the large cut away drawings as it gave you a real sense of what the house was like. It struck me that the design of the standard London terrace was only tweaked slightly over several hundred years as the houses from the seventeen to nineteen hundreds had quite a lot of similarities in design (even if the internal furnishings / heating / plumbing were changing).
I'm also not quite sure how 'middle class' is defined as some of the early houses looked quite grand to me! I suppose the last century saw a huge explosion of the middle classes and before then the middle class was quite small.
The was a lot of charm to the Geffrye museum, not least the building it is housed in and gardens. I also liked how they had different pieces of furniture that you are invited to sit in and fabrics / floor coverings that you could touch. Well worth an adventure on the London Overground to visit.

text: Commonwealth v. Janeth Katherine O'Brien; Wife Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison for Killing of HusbandWednesday, September 25, 2013Harvey L. Bryant, Commonwealth's Attorney for the City of Virginia Beach, announced today that Janeth Katherine O'Brien, 26 years old, who previously resided in the 700 block of Rosemont Avenue in Virginia Beach, Virginia, was sentenced today by Circuit Court Judge Les L. Lilley for Voluntary Manslaughter and Shooting in the Commission of a Felony. Judge Lilley sentenced O'Brien to 15 years in prison, with five (5) years suspended, leaving ten (10) years to serve. The Virginia State Sentencing Guidelines recommended O'Brien serve no more than five (5) years and 11 months. Janeth O'Brien pled guilty on February 5, 2013. Had this matter gone to trial, the Commonwealth's evidence would have proved that on August 12, 2012, Janeth O'Brien and her husband, Kiel O'Brien, went to Mahi Mah's restaurant at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront for lunch. Each of them had about five alcoholic drinks. They argued at the restaurant and Mr. O'Brien left without Janeth. A friend picked her up and took her to a different restaurant at the Oceanfront, where she met up again with Kiel. Janeth and Kiel then drove back to their house in the Pecan Gardens neighborhood of Virginia Beach. Janeth owned a handgun which she often carried in her purse. When she and Kiel arrived home they went upstairs to the master bedroom. Janeth fired her weapon eight times, hitting Kiel four times: twice in the shoulder, once in the abdomen and once in the thigh. After being shot, Kiel made it out of the house and into the front yard, where he collapsed. After shooting the gun eight times, Janeth went into another bedroom, got a box of ammunition and reloaded the gun. She called 911 and told them she shot her husband. Then she went outside where Kiel was bleeding near the curb. She was kneeling beside him when police arrived on scene. Her gun was still beside her until it was secured by police. She told the officers she was not injured, and she refused treatment. Officers smelled an odor of alcohol and placed her in a police car. Janeth later told investigators that she and Kiel were arguing and were both shoving and hitting each other. She said that she didn't remember what happened but she pulled the trigger and saw a lot of blood. Kiel died later that evening at the hospital. Evidence of Janeth and Kiel's volatile relationship was presented in court during the sentencing hearing today. Witnesses testified that Janeth often became violent when she drank alcohol and that she had threatened to shoot Kiel with her gun previously. The case was prosecuted by Associate Commonwealth's Attorney Kristin L. Paulding and Senior Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Elliott H. DeJarnette V.
