FBI War on Boston Witnesses
By Dave Lindorff, Russ Baker and Milicent Cranor on Oct 29, 2013

In the six months since the Boston Marathon bombing, the FBI has by all appearances been relentlessly intimidating, punishing, deporting and, in one case, shooting to death, persons connected, sometimes only tangentially, with the alleged bombers.

All of these individuals have something in common: If afforded constitutional protections and treated as witnesses... [Read More]

The U.S. government does not represent the interests of the majority of the country's citizens, but is instead ruled by those of the rich and powerful

They have to do studies to discover the obvious ?
I don't think it is limited to the US though.
Hope the source is acceptable.

Today, I am In the Vets with 16 year old boy dog Mulder.

The Vet asks me to get a urine sample from Mulder tonight and deliver It tomorrow morning.
I'm thinking, drat, that means another trip In the morning when I'm busy.
On leaving, the Vet hands me a sample jar ridiculously small, about the size of a pepper pot and a rubber glove.
As I leave, I think that If I can get Mulder to do a wee before I go, that'll save me a trip In the morning.
We're In a... [Read More]

I can watch on any other stations player except this one.

Are those North Koreans just trouble makers ?
What a clever move public for the barber......brilliant.

North Korean officials paid a visit to a London hair salon to question why it had used their leader Kim Jong-un's picture in a poster offering haircuts.

It begs the question .....why?
On what grounds are these images worthy to adorn a nations stamps?
I am not questioning the merit or the artistic integrity, just the suitability for the purpose of sticking on stamps.

New stamp range

Like this one a lot:

Can somebody explain to me why the clothes these days are so ugly? I've been searching for a new dress for Easter Sunday and OMG!!! I can't find anything I like!

A new dress for Easter Sunday has always been a big deal around here. When I was a little girl I used to get the whole outfit, the dress, usually a coat that matched it, a hat, shoes and... [Read More]

Today in the 1 year anniversary of the Boston Marathon Bombing and tomorrow is the 7 year anniversary if the Virginia Tech shooting. The worse mass shooting in modern U.S. history. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families impacted by all of this. I'm sure it's a difficult couple of days.

I'm glad I don't nap!

Study Suggests Naps Could Be Hazardous To Your Health � CBS New York

Watched a TV programme about restorative justice last night.
It can make dramatic a difference to the lives of all involved in criminal acts.

Are we becoming more civilised?

I have seen similar images, but never realised the scale of what I was watching, amazing stuff.

I take this morning's text from the Independent:

The mayor said he accepted the panel’s findings, which agreed that while hearing evidence about the challenges faced by disabled adults in modern society, Mr Martin commented: “Are we still letting those mongols have sex with each other?”

Mr Martin said he had apologised to the council “for using a word I shouldn't have,” and added that he would say sorry publicly “as I have been asked to”. He later told BBC

Hi, Cassy from Padiham in Lancashire. Just came across the forum again.

What does this sort of program accomplish, other than entertain the public.

Watched "Noah."

Very, very boring and disappointing. In fact even the presence of one of my favourite earthlings Emma Watson, didn't make it any easier to watch. And to make matters worse it was in 3D so we had to wear those glasses.

It should easily win the Worst Movie on The Golden Raspberry Awards.
