Even prior to the pandemic, achieving the optimal tenant mix was a big challenge for shopping malls and mixed-use spaces. Rising ecommerce sales and the power of social networks empowered customers to discover new, cutting-edge brands, which meant many (especially millennials and Gen Z) spent less time in the beloved department stores that had long served as anchor tenants.
EastBanc, a prominent retail landlorlso focuses on ensuring that its tenant mix reflects the evolved needs and behaviors of modern consumers. On one level, that means featuring both established and up-and-coming brands, but it also means featuring a hybrid of product categories and experiences to support all facets of a consumer’s life.
While tenant mix has largely served as the big differentiator for most shopping malls and destinations, some developers are looking at the visitor’s larger, more cohesive experience to uncover new ways to stand out. After all, a location’s mix of brands and categories may drive initial traffic, but it’s the entire space’s experience, including events and activations, that achieve the critical goals of driving engagement and boosting dwell time.
“As landlords and real estate owners, we need to figure out how to create spaces that are safe but that also meet consumer needs,” said Chad Cress, Chief Creative Officer of DJM, which operates several retail destinations in California, including Hollywood & Highland in Los Angeles. “While people are really desiring to get back out, I think they’re going to be pickier about where they go and when they go.” That’s why several of DJM’s properties have been hosting concerts and smaller events this summer to create a safe yet fun environment for shoppers as they get back out into the world.

lobes, wrists, ankles..
Come to my red coral painted sumptuous couch…
Let me soothe your tired muscles with unguent of sandalwood
as you feast on elixirs,
prepared especially for you….
I am maiden, mother, crone…a plant
scattering her seeds
for to gather light from mighty Sun,
to reach with outstretched arms towards his warmth;
and under teasing Moon’s darkness,
coax roots to migrate deeply into soils
wherein reaching a richness of water and minerals.
The road is harsh…
sprouts must navigate through pebbles
and ever-created obstacles
to reach full bloom…
Some seeds prevail; some compost into the sands of renewal…
I am Persephone, and I live married to Hades
during the fallow, winter season of life…
I’m attracted to an unspoken ecstasy,
the pervasive, seething wounds of hell’s fire
licking greedily on my innocence…
Little I knew, when in plucking a flower of unearthly beauty,
I’d be kidnapped to the inferno below…..
A secret flows deep beneath the crusty surface…
Underground waters flow through aeons of time,
ever destined
to eventually surface to natural springs…
Under the light of day, sulfured and steamy,
a soak in the aged waters
initiates a wisdom seen and given in the breadth of light…
Listen carefully to the bubbling and gurgling wherein
portentious, generous guidance is no longer withheld….
A secret unveils….and issues from sweeter tongue…
…….viewing life as abundant
…….and walking in gratitude
is to ever and ever… succeed…
I am Isis, Goddess of Earth, Water, Fire,
and of Air, with sprouted wings,
I lift above all horizons
to view the greens, the browns, the yellows…
The myriad hues of the rainbows
glean back at me in full abundance…
in generosity…..
And I fly with an eagle’s eye
…I glide on the up and down currents of heat and cold
…I hide and seek in the nebulous clouds
…I flutter in winged freedom…
I am Lady Moon…
Lifeblood surges with watery ebbs and flows,
Everchanging…
body alert to the rays of my lover,
the beams that play in juxtapose,
painting my creative crescents across the dark canvas of night….
We, dancing around our Earth Child’s karmic shadows…..
He in audacious splendor,
and I in feminine, grand modesty…
grace the evolution of time….
In the spaces between one inhale and one exhale…
In one, beating pulsating life…
through the expanses of time…..I am woman….
Wow, Paula, I just came home from the Pinnacles to your magnificent story. Thanks for posting it!
Paula – your writing talent is both exhilarating and intimidating! From your command of Greek mythology, to the use of strong archetypal images, choosing of words to paint images and shift mood – very, very impressive. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you both….very much….
Paula, I love this! Also very impressed with all that Greek mythology. I’ve always wanted to brush-up but no time.
Right now my life is a cartwheeling kaleidoscope of change and upheaval
Sometimes the patterns are breathtakingly beautiful
Then summersault, head over heals, and the image becomes overwhelming , oppressive
The touchstones in my life are gone,
Or maybe I am finally just realizing they were never really real
Only infused with the essential life energy I gave away to them every day
I can’t decide I am delighted to have this much freedom in my life
Or demented, deluded and headed down a path of future regret
The carnival pipe organ provides a continuous musical score
I dance, trying to keep time with the loony tunes in my ears
I smile because that is what is expected, and curtsy, so well behaved
My eyes, though, are empty, turned inward
Watching the every changing kaleidoscope for clues….
Especially loved this line, “.” Ain’t that the truth? We’re such habitual creatures and are often uncomfortable in a firestorm of change, though that’s where the biggest breakthroughs happen. But oh, that threshold!
Debbie- I’m dizzy! Your descriptions of the kaleidoscope, the cartwheels, the summersaults have my head spinning. I found that extremely effective. I felt pulled into your piece, literally. I love how you talk about upheaval but call it breathtakingly beautiful. It shows how intensely painful and intensely beautiful the experience is at the same time. Then you refer to the pattern most of us feel forced to follow at one time or another, “I smile because that is what is expected and curtsy, so well behaved.” Your writing is inclusive. I feel like my own experiences are honored as you describe yours. Thank you for sharing it with me.
I am at a crossroads. I have been at this crossroads road before, but didn’t understand myself enough to know where I stand or to make the right choice for myself. I have learned some hard lessons, blindly stumbled into them like hidden steel traps or willingly walked into them knowing that wild fire waited for me on the other side. Opportunities have also been placed in front of me, but I was wasn’t done learning the same hard lessons, so I either turned them away or drove them away. But things have shifted slightly and a hint of real change is in the air. I had an epiphany. It came in the middle of an abusive relationship.
I could no longer think right side up. I was afraid to speak up after my voice was systemically taken away. I no longer knew how to navigate my own life. I hid inside myself. The insidious spiral to this deep, dark place, and the final straw in the form of a punch in the face, pushed me to start kicking. Frantic at first, I kicked like I was held down at the bottom of the ocean. Surfacing disoriented, with squinted and unfocused eyes, I finally allowed myself to breath, a deep full breath that seemed to reach into the areas that felt long dead. What I knew about myself I no longer knew. Every part of me was raw. I didn’t trust myself any longer and I was angry. So today, I work hard to rebuild myself. It has been hard work that I cannot rest from, even for a day, for fear of slipping back under the ocean. Still, the scars, only visible to me, are fading but serve to remind me how quickly we can lose our footing if we haven’t learned to love ourselves.
Small decisions are considered carefully and my intuition is now a respected and welcome voice. I listen to her carefully. I own my bad choices and I own my spiraled descent, because I had the power to stop it all along but I still allowed it. I own my life today and my future. Forgiving has been another lesson for me. I forgive him, quietly and only for myself. Letting go of the anger was a long process and felt like a roller coast of ride of blame and shame. I let it go, and said goodbye. With this, I started to forgive myself. Today, I stand on my own two feet, open and ready to shine. I had to lose myself to really know what it meant to find myself. My name is Jennifer and I am a survivor.
Jennifer – I wanted to stand up and cheer as I reached the end of your post! “” Great line and so hopeful – full of promise. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Jennifer- I agree with Debbie. This is so full of hope but it also held a quiet patience for me. I, too, have felt my voice taken away; by abusive partners, parents and others. You acknowledge that there was a time when you ‘didn’t understand yourself enough to make the right choices for yourself.’ As a reader, that kind of gave me permission to reach those places of strength when I was ready. I am miles from where I want to be but I have been through a lot and I am still

This protects the structure of your home, including your windows, garage, and built-in appliances like your water heater or HVAC. This coverage may helps damaged by natural disaster, theft, or vandalism.
This coverage assists if someone has been hurt or injured on your property, like a dog bite or falling off a ladder.
Make sure to review your policy to see if wind/hail damage is excluded in your policy. If its excluded, you may want to explore a separate wind insurance policy, which is usually a state insurance program.
For instance, the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association sells polices that  policies sold to coastal residents. The average premium on a TWIA policy is approximately $1,600. The annual average cost for windstorm insurance in coastal Florida is about $2,600.
Insurers also decided to use a “cosmetic damage Exclusion” for homeowners insurance policies. The purpose, experts say, is to limit insurers’ losses when severe weather results in many expensive damage claims.
“This wa,,” says Robert Prahl, a finance author and former insurance claims adjuster in New York.
Some companies may automatically require the exclusion, while others may offer it on a case-by-case basis, according to the American Association of Insurance Services .
home, including the roof. Typically, a standard home insurance policy covers roof damage from wind, fire, hail, or the weight of snow.
A replacement cost policy pays to replace your roof based on current construction costs. An actual cash value policy decreases your payment based on the age or wear on your roof.
Heres an example: Lets say it costs $30,000 to replace your 10-year-old roof after hail damage, and your home policy has a $3,000 deductible. A policy with replacement cost will pay $27,000 . A policy with actual cash value coverage will subtract the depreciation for the age of your roof. If the value of your roof depreciated by half after 10 years, the policy would pay $12,000 .
Once your claim is filed, you have to pay the deductible. Its usually a percentage of your coverage amount or the amount you chose when you bought the policy. Some policies have a separate deductible for windstorm claims.
If you have replacement costs, typically you receive two payments from your insurance provider. The first is for the actual cash value of the roof. Then, after they replace the roof, the company will pay the rest.
We all know that wind can rip the shingles off the house, destroy flashings and damage underlayment. Those damages are usually obvious. Your roofing contractor can assess the damages that may not be so obvious to the eye but can cause future problems. For example, small leaks can cause interior mold problems in the future. Pits and dings from large hail can cause shingles to eventually crack and cause damage underneath. Weak spots may mean rotting problems. A roofing contractor knows what to look for and its better to be safe than sorry down the road.
As soon as it is safe to do so, start taking photographs of the roof damage, as well as anything in the surrounding area that may be the cause of the damage.. Take a variety of photos from as many angles as possible. Document the damage before beginning any temporary repairs, like tarping. You may also consider taking video, if you want to document footage of an active leak.
An experienced roofing contractor from Noble Roofing can take a look at your roof and detect any damage from hail and enable you to make a timely claim to your insurance company. By detecting roofing damage early, you can save yourself a lot of money that can stem from water damage and structural issues.
After inspecting your roof, we will give you an honest estimate about repairs and give you our best advice on how to make a claim. 404-0505 for a fast and professional response to hail damage.
When you file a homeowners insurance claim for any damages, the most important date to know is the date of loss. If a widespread hail storm went through your town or the extreme wind blew shingles off roofs, took down street signs and trees in your neighborhood, its pretty easy to remember the date of loss because you remember the storm.
On the flip side, if you notice ceiling leaks in your home and there were no hail storms or windstorms in the recent past, the hail damage to the roof may have been caused by a prior storm. For example, lets say a hail storm came through your town three years ago. You didnt notice any roof hail damage or any other damages to your property, so you didnt file a claim. Now you are seeing ceiling leaks inside your home, and you recall there was a hail storm a few years ago. You get a hail damage roof inspection from a Denver roofing contractor who explains that your roof did sustain some damage, and then you remember the last hail storm, but they may not cover the cost to repair the inside damage from the ceiling leaks.
The next thing you are going to want to do before filing a claim is contact your insurance companys insurance claim for roof damage policies.
One thing your agent can tell you umbrella policy is whether the costs are reimbursed as actual cash value or replacement cost to your roof. No matter how well documented the damage is in your claim, theyll want to see it for themselves and verify that everything is as claimed.
If you choose RoofClaim.com as your roofing contractor, were happy to be present when youre meeting with the insurance adjuster. This way, if you have any questions, theres something you dont understand, or theres something the adjuster objects to, we can step in and help.
In any case, make sure you record the adjuster’s name, the date and time of the visit, and the claim number.
Youryour roof leak. If the roof leak was caused by something within your policy coverage then homeowners insurance should cover it. However, insurance typically will not cover roof leaks if the leak is due to an aging roof, neglect, or a poorly maintained roof.
When youve established and documented the apparent damage to your roof, youll be ready to report that damage to your insurance company and start to file a  types of roof damage that are covered.
Act quickly and stay on top of your insurance company after storm damage. You dont want an assessor to think the damage is just from regular wear and tear.
You want to make repairs right away, so sometimes you have to pay out of pocket to get things fixed before your insurance company actually provides payment for the repairs. Dont be afraid to hire your own private adjuster to ensure that your insurance company reimburses the full amount you deserve.
As with any insurance company, there is always a chance to assess your claim. This is why it is vital to have everything recorded and well-documented.
In case your claim is rejected, the insurance company is liable to give you a reason why. It is also important to note that if your roof damage is the result of improper maintenance and could have been prevented through timely Therefore, it is extremely necessary that you conduct regular inspections and maintain your roof.

:) I have a 95' GS300. I recently tried to change the spark plugs. Unlike my last vehicle the 6 plugs were quite hard to find. I was able to locate 4 of the six plugs by removing two plactic plates located at the front and back center of the block with an alan wrench . The other two (maybe between the 4) looks impossible to get to unless I remove many of the connectors and metal component of the engine which I am scared to. Any comments for the folks who has done this maintenece themselves??
I just did the tune-up on my '95 GS300 last weekend. As far as the plugs go, it was a real pain in the neck. All six plugs are lined up, and as you suspected the other two that you can't see are under the intake manifold. You will have to remove the intake manifold to get to those two. I don't know your comfort level when it comes to this type of maintenance, but you can do this yourself if you're very careful. First, remove the air intake hose leading to the manifold. Also, make sure you label all your hoses and be careful when removing wiring harnesses. There are two main bolts on the top of the manifold and four nuts underneath (if memory serves). You will also have to release the accelerator cable and remove the electronic choke (the choke has to be reset in the same position as before when reinstalling). At that point you should be able to slide the manifold back far enough to get to the plugs. Be careful not to damage the gasket ( I reused mine, but I'm not sure what the protocol is). Also, I used a small grabber arm to remove each plug once they were loosened all the way (it looks like the thing jewels use to grab diamonds only longer). You'll need a tool like that as the plugs are quite a ways down. Plus it makes it much easier to reinstall the new ones. Finally, be carefull not to cross the thread, that would be very bad. Tighten with even pressure on all plugs. You may want to do the wires while you're in there and the cap and rotor of course. Hope that helps.

Larry - did you snap a photo of the Budweiser Tractor Trailer in the parade. There must have been more than a few people wondering what it was doing in line.
Where was the float of the indiats?
Yeah Jared, I was a tad disappointed that the Clydesdales (the Tractor trailer is their support vehicle) did make the Parade --probably in their contract that they do not march in the rain.
Word has it the Clydesdales did not march due to the fact that when the reins get wet the driver has difficulty driving the team. Reins are made from leather and leather is slippery when wet.
Great pics and video of the parade.
Yeah I kinda figured that; but as you well know, A LOT OF HORSES (many of them draft horses) DID march.
I just hope the town did not pay them a ton of money (the corporation already got their moneys worth in PR from the Thursday night delivery of beer to downtown establishments plus the Front Page above the fold photo in this week's Amherst Bully.)
Of course, you also need to understand three things. First, the microbe theory of disease didn't yet exist. So he essentially was thinking about "evil spirits" and the belief that the blankets were somehow likely to cause death (which, they were).
You know, I was hoping for a thunderstorm.
I heard that the clydesdales had a hard time on the newly paved road when they did the beer delivery and it would have been even more unsafe with the wet conditions. To slick to have control.

. Today it was my turn." </s> I’ve always dreaded going to community meetings, fearing more negatives and fewer positives will be brought forth during hours and hours of repetitive discussion.
I cannot tell you how many times I’ve walked away from a government-sponsored meeting wondering how I will get those hours back, knowing full well nothing good came of my time. I really hate to have to report on those kinds of meetings, even though it is necessary. The often hate-filled meetings are exhausting.
So I was pleasantly surprised this past Wednesday night at what hopefully will be an on-going series of town hall events to clear the air and open two-way lines of communication between our city administration and “we the people.”
Wednesday’s town hall meeting was advertised as a time to simply hear what I, my neighbors and friends have to say about their concerns for their community. I walked away feeling very optimistic about the future of my hometown.
Even though Buddy was not able to attend the gathering, given his dislike of loud, angry voices, he did sleep in the car waiting for me to tell him about the outcome of the two-hour event. I told him that for the first time in my more than 35 years of covering town hall meetings regarding city government and law enforcement issues, there wasn’t a single angry voice to be heard. That is not to say there weren’t many voices asking questions, voicing concerns about public safety, youth recreation, traffic issues and availability of city employees.
But perhaps for the first time ever, I came away believing the answers and promises given by our city’s top administrators. I’m not talking about the city council, but the men and women you and I have regular interaction with; the people at city hall, in the school zones, at the swimming pool and parks, on the streets and at the police station.
When Sunnyside’s new City Manager Don Day said he wants talk with and shake the hand of everyone he meets, I believed him. When said he would personally sign-off on all citizens’ complaints about the city police department, I believed him. When Sunnyside Police Sgt. Scott Bailey said the police are here to serve and protect, I took him at his word.
Truly, for the first time in years, I feel as though the citizens of the community were not being “shined on.”
For the first time in years I feel as though the cobwebs have been cleared out at the police department and throughout city government. I feel as though the lines of communication between the two agencies have truly been opened up to us.
But “we the people” also have a duty to our community leaders, as Buddy reminded me.
Even my furry little friend knows that it is the residents’ responsibility to seek out representation for ourselves.
It’s our duty to accept the challenge of learning more about how our civil servants do their jobs and why.
We learn more when we accept the challenge to attend citizen’s academy, to take ride alongs with the police and to volunteer to serve on committees meant to give our leaders our ideas and input.
City Manager Don Day has asked us to accept that challenge. I plan to.. </s> ISLAMABAD: The Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) on Tuesday asked lawmakers to formulate strong laws to defeat terrorism.
An ISI brigadier on Tuesday briefed the parliamentarians on national security during an in-camera which was led by MNA Shaikh Rohail Asghar. The lawmakers were astonished that the briefing did not include anything on the peace talks with the TTP. However, the security scenario in Balochistan and Karachi was discussed. During the briefing, the ISI official repeatedly referred to the National Internal Security Policy (NISP) and shared details from the security policy document.
He said that sectarian terrorist organisations were posing a renewed threat to the country’s peace. He particularly referred to the increasing activities of sectarian outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, saying the security agencies were acting against such notorious organisations. The official said it is the collective responsibility of politicians, security forces, government, civil society and people of Pakistan to join hands against terrorism and make, and support laws that strengthened security forces’ hands in their fight against terrorism.
Sources in the National Assembly Defence Committee said the ISI official said strong laws were required so that the missing persons’ issue was resolved. “Missing persons are those people who are involved in heinous kinds of terror activities,” sources quoted the brigadier as saying. Later, a senior defence official, on the condition of anonymity, told journalists after the defence committee meeting that the role of Pakistan and United States was crucial to bringing peace in the region.
“Both Pakistan and the US want a peaceful Afghanistan and peaceful South Asia. Premature troops’ withdrawal from Afghanistan will create problems,” he said, adding that the US and Pakistan both recognised this fact. The government representatives for peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban held comprehensive consultations with Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and ISI chief Lieutenant General Zahirul Islam in Islamabad on Monday with the aim to fine-tune the talks agenda. The government, according to sources, has been convinced to a greater extent that TTP has no links with violent acts which occurred across the country after their declaration of a unilateral month-long ceasefire. Since the TTP announced ceasefire, sporadic violence surfaced in several cities, including Peshawar, Islamabad, Quetta and KarachiKABUL: There are some doubts raised by some quarters here as to whether the new Afghan president


Bupa grew its overall revenues and underlying pre-tax surplus by 9% last year.
The provider's solid growth in 2010 was knocked by results showing a 72% reduction in total pre-tax surplus.
This, it said, was down primarily to goodwill impairments of £249.2m which took the total down to £118m from £416.5m in 2009.
Group revenues were up to £7.576bn from £6.941bn the previous year, with organic growth of 4% and favourable foreign exchange movements of 5%.
Its pre-tax underlying surplus rose to £464.9m from £428.2m.
The health insurer said this was driven by a strong performance in Australia and Asia, and an advance in profits in Bupa Health and Wellbeing UK (BHW), following an improvement in margins an
And it noted that the number of lives covered by employee assistance programmes and health assessments reduced, as unemployment levels remained high.
BHW also revealed the sale of Bupa Health Assurance for £168.2m saw a book loss of £6.5m.
The provider's Cromwell Hospital in London fell victim to the ash cloud with first half revenues there falling as international patients were unable to fly in, but this recovered in the second half year.
Meanwhile, the Bupa Care Homes arm saw revenues grow and maintained its surplus, despite what it called ‘unsustainably low' local authority fee increases across England from April 2010 of 0.5%.
Overall occupancy was 88.0% (up from 88.4% in 2009) while occupancy from mature homes increased slightly to 88.5% (88.4%).
Over 70% of its more than 18,000 residents are funded wholly or in part by local authorities and primary care trusts.
Ray King, chief executive of Bupa, said: "Bupa delivered a good trading performance in 2010, despite mixed economic conditions in some of our markets. Underlying surplus increased by 9%, up for the third successive year since the start of the global recession, and leverage reduced to 23%.
"We maintained performance in Care Services in the UK by focusing on occupancy and managing costs carefully, despite downward pressure on public sector fees. We also delivered good growth in Care Services in Australia and New Zealand, where market conditions were more benign."
King added that he believed the company was well positioned for future growth.

Towel is one of the most important toiletries that you will need immediately in some particular times. Thus, placing a towel rail or ring near your vanity can be a good idea. A small towel will be enough since you may use it after you wash your hands or something on your vanity sink. Place the towel right above the vanity sink to make you easier in grabbing it.
2. Place a Wire Basket
3. Place a Soap Holder
Just like a wire basket, this additional shelf will be useful when you can’t store any toiletries on the top of your vanity anymore. The main difference is this shelf will work well to contain any bigger toiletries that you can’t store in the wire basket. Placing an additional shelf will also make you easier in classifying all the toiletries that you have in your bathroom.
5. Place a Medicine Cabinet
The last but not least, you can surely add a cabinet that is specially used to store some medicines near your vanity sets. Although it seems less important than all the previous tips, it’s always better for you to anticipate all the unexpected and unpredicted things that may happen when you are in your bathroom. Use this cabinet to store all kind of medicines that you and your family probably need one day.

SaaS, market making, and the Cloud
I've recently begun to increase my coverage of virtualization, particularly application virtualization. The intersection of virtualization and my typical enterprise application coverage has afforded some interesting insights. Many of the major vendors are now positioning a Carr-esque vision of utility computing. While the applications themselves may not necessarily live somewhere out on the cloud, extra capacity and provisioning might.
So it seems like there is now a viable vision for utility computing. There is actually some promise in the Cloud -- providing, of course, that enterprises make the requisite investments in virtualization to encapsulate and consolidate their application stacks.
I'm now wondering if there will be a fluid market in computing capacity. Will it trade the same way that we currently trade electricity or other commodities? What has to happen to fulfill this vision?
1. Standardization. There has to be some sort of standardization on the types of services provided by different producers. There could be no universal market for electricity until there was some sort of standardization on service e.g., AC vs. DC, current, etc. Different cloud providers are currently offering very different types of services so it's certainly not a commodity.
2. Ratings. Assuming that we get standardization -- driven either by industry standards or by legislated standards -- then it becomes possible to compare different offerings. But there must be a mechanism that accounts for risk in these comparables. We would need some sort of D&B, S&P, Moody's.
3. Sufficient liquidity. There has to be enough market activity to support some sort of open exchange.
4. Market makers. Somebody is going to have to be the market maker for the emerging market in order to set prices, increase information, and improve process efficiency.

I like your "organized" view of Cloud Computing and what should be done and expected for the future.
I've worked a few years for a Newspaper Company in Sao Paulo and one of the biggest issues of the industry in general was a lack of standardization! Comercial Department of different newspapers would have random sizes/prices for ads, getting a bit of a mess in the market!
One start could be diving the kind of service offered in the Cloud.

Chicago Justice: Actress Leaves NBC Spinoff, Joins CBS' Ransom - canceled TV shows - TV Series Finale
As reported last week, Nazneen Contractor has joined the cast of the Ransom TV show, coming to CBS in the 2016-17 television season. She is set as Zara Hallam, an ex-cop. Production of Ransom began in Toronto last week and will move to France in the fall. A 13-episode drama created by David Vainola and Frank Spotnitz, the Ransom stars Luke Roberts, Sarah Green, and Brandon Jay McLaren.
THR reports Contractor, who was in the backdoor pilot of NBC‘s Chicago Justice, which aired as an episode of Chicago PD this past May, is leaving the Dick Wolf drama ahead of its series premiere. Contractor played Dawn Harper in the pilot, right-hand-woman to prosecutor Peter Stone (Philip Winchester). The Chicago Justice cast also includes: Joelle Carter and Carl Weathers.
What do you think? Are you disappointed that Contractor won’t be in the Chicago Justice TV series? Do you plan to watch Ransom when it bows on CBS?

Edge of Tomorrow Sequel Film Gets Title
Director Doug Liman revealed in an interview with film news website Collider on Sunday that twill be titled Live Die Repeat and Repeat . Liman noted that the film's production is "not an if, it's a when," and that lead actors Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt are "excited" about the sequel.
The sequel's title calls back to the first film's "Live. Die. Repeat" tagline, which had more prominence than the film's actual title in some promotional materials and the home video release.

It takes a certain self-assurance to cover John Lennon with the idea of improving on the original—but that’s exactly the approach Liam Gallagher took to reinventing “for this Apple Music Home Session. “I’ve always liked it, and I always thought I’d be able to do a good job, and I do,” Liam tells Apple Music’s Matt Wilkinson. “It sounds mega. I think it’s better than the original. I’ve chilled it out a bit more. It’s more like congas and stuff. So, it’s a bit more of a T. Rex-y kind of vibe. Bit more grooving and less winging it. I feel like he’s winging it on this, and it’s a bit all over the shop. We tighten up a bit.”
Liam’s also re-recorded “Too Good For Giving Up”, from his third solo album, C’MON YOU KNOW, assisted by the latest addition to his band, Little Barrie guitarist Barrie Cadogan. “I kind of like this version,” says Liam. “Barrie wasn’t on the original. Barrie’s on another level, man. He’s really good. For me, I said it was like signing Ronaldo. Give everyone else a bit of a lift. You know what I mean?”

How this translates to you and your use in your garden?
2 What Is The Best Seed Starting Mix?
3 Can You Use Potting Soil For Seedling?
4 Seed Starting Mix and Potting Soil: Are They Soil?
Here I need to be precise. Indeed, in forums and Facebook groups, I read quite a few different opinions and ideas (and quite a few misconceptions). The differences come down to how seed starting mix and potting soil are meant to be used.
Seed starter mixes are designed to improve the germination process but not the growth of the plant’s further growth. Improving the germination process simply means having a growing medium with physical and chemical characteristics to increase the germination rate and reduce germination time. Indeed, the growing medium plays a massive role in this.
On the other hand, potting soil is designed to sustain the long-term growth of herbs and plants but not specifically designed to improve germination.
Seed starters mix, in general, has no nutritional value. This is because seeds are just a pack of emergency nutrients that the seedling will use to its first inch of development until it grows the first roots and leaves. Indeed, think about it. Where the plant takes the energy to develop the first 2 leaves and stems if it does not have the leaves to harvest the energy from the light? A common brand (here on Amazon) clearly declares an N-P-K of 0.06-0.03-0.03. This is a common feature of the majority of seed starting mix.
A potting mix, on the other hand, is nutrient-rich. This is because of the presence of compost of fertilizer (either organic or synthetic). The majority of potting mix I played with had fertilizer in the form of slow-release pellets (they appear as small hard balls into the soil).
One of the best potting soil I tried (the Foxfarm here on Amazon) has an N-P-K of 0.3-0.45-0.05.If you go for more fertilizer aggressive potting mix, as the Miracle Gro, the N-P-K can be even higher.
What seeds need most is a constantly moist and warm environment. Warm and moisture are the perfect environment for fungi to thrive. This is a problem. Indeed, fungi can easily spoil your seeds.
A Potting mix is not sterile, so there are chances for fungi to develop during seedling development. For many, the issue of a fungi-damaged plant is quite important, especially if growing just a few seeds or in case they are quite pricey. However, this “secure” condition (sterile) is just a short term as all plants need to be transferred to soil or on a potting mix.
Seed starter is very often sterile, reducing dramatically the possibility of any fungi to develop.
Seed starting mix is quite often way more airy, fluffy, and lightweight than regular potting mix. This is important to increase the germination rate. Indeed, think about it. The roots developed by the energy on a seed of a few milligrams cannot be massive. The seeds do not have enough energy for those.
Hence, if the soil is compact, hard, with rough material in it, the seed roots have fewer chances to develop. This, in turn, reduces the chances of germination dramatically. As discussed in the good germination practice, this is also why you should not place seeds too deep. The smaller the seeds, the more superficial it should be as it does not have the energy sufficient to develop long stems.
On the other hand, despite still being fluffy, potting soil is generally way more coarse than seed starting mix. Potting soil quite often contains compost that (depending on the quality) might not be totally broken down. Hence you will find (how many times!) pieces of woody material, small stones (if bad quality), and similar. This is not a problem for a grown plant that passed the first delicate stage of development.
Seed starting mix mainly contains peat moss, perlite, and some wetting agent. This is the case, for instance, of the good as the Black Gold here on Amazon. Another seed starting mix, more on the eco-friendly side (moss is a finite resource), is Burbee here on Amazon. This because it adopts mainly coco coir as it has similar (although not as good) water retention capability of peat moss. Hence, at the end of the day, there is just one ingredient.
On the other side, potting mix is a mixture of perlite, compost, peat moss (or coco coir). Such ingredients, to guarantee good water retention capability, and provide plant structure, are usually present in almost equal amounts per volume (a third each). Other “secondary” ingredients (as their weight on the total is lower) are fertilizer (those yellow balls into the soil) and pH corrector (like limestone).
Potting mix is pretty much ubiquitous in all gardening shops. Even a mall with a small gardening area will very (very) likely sell potting mix.
Seed starting mix is way more challenging to find in physical shops, and it is often not part of the gardening item of a more generic shop. Even online, you can find just a handful (around 5) among the most common and reputable.
What Is The Best Seed Starting Mix?
I have to admit that there are a few brands that gained reputation over the years due to their reliability, good quality ingredients. However, if I would need to pick up just one and only one seed starting mix, I would go for the Fox Farm on Amazon below.
This seed starting mix goes the extra mile compared to the competitor due to a special ingredient, a new entry in the gardening world.
I am talking about the so-called mycorrhizae. As discussed in this scientific study from the University of Manchester, this is a special type of fungi whose name means “fungi’s roots.” As the name suggests, they create a root-like system that “fuses” with the plant root system. In other words, this fungus acts as an extension of the plant root. This means that even a young plant can reach way too much water and nutrients without waiting to develop a larger root system.
Plants grow larger, with more flowers and fruits, and have better resistance both to some pests and pathogens, and stresses such as drought.
This benefits the plant significantly, increasing the germination rate and helping (sometimes massively) on its further development even when moved to a different soil.
Here, a word of caution is needed when talking about mycorrhizae in the seed starting mix.
The response of plants is usually way slower than compared to fertilizer. As with every natural phenomenon, this is expected. However, remember the long term benefit of a more sustainable way of gardening that this time of fungi provides.
It is possible to grow seedlings from potting mix, and for many herbs (such as basil, mint), it is relatively easy. If you need to choose one check the one below, it is by far my favorite potting mix.
I grow seeds all the time both for pleasure and learning, as you can see in the image below. Please do not place countless seeds in one tiny container as I did in that example. I did just because I used them as a microgreen, but in general, you want to follow the good seedling practice (among them max 3 seeds per container).
Hence, potting soil is fine for seedlings, though it is more likely to cause issues with fungal growth than a sterile starter. Think of potting soil like starting a seed in an outdoor garden— certainly, it works well, but it works well a lesser percentage of the time. The greatest advantage of growing in potting soil is that there is no need to transfer the plant later on. Transplants cause stress that can kill a new plant if not done carefully.
Hence, is the seed starting mix necessary? Seed starting mix is necessary when quick germination, with a high rate, is required.
As I discussed before, the seed starting mix’s texture and water retention capability will make the germination way easier. This is very important if you have expensive seeds or only a handful of them. Moreover, compared to potting mix, it is not that much more expensive (considering the value).
In case you use a seed starting mix, the seedlings need to be transplanted after on a regular potting mix. Indeed, the nutritional content of a seed starting mix, including this one, is not enough to sustain the plant growth.
A few gardeners in forums complained that their seedling died after a “while” in a seed starting mix. That is normal. If they leave their seedlings a month or more after germination, in a growing medium not designed to sustain plant growth, it is normal for the plant to wilt and die. This is independent of how well you water it or how much light it does receive.
Seed start mixes are not soil. As discussed, they are a mixture (often one dominant ingredient) that is not solid (hence no sand, silt, or clay in general).
You have to know potting soil, contrary to its name it is not soil (this means that you will not find any sand, silt, or clay on it). It is a growing medium given by the few other materials (lime for pH, for instance).
Of course, do not take my word for granted. Indeed, each manufacturer has its slightly different “recipes” claimed to be the best. Some use coco coir as a replacement for peat moss. In contrast, others avoid fertilizer balls (slow release), and they use more organic solutions (guano, fish meal, etc..).
If you have decided to use a seed starting mix, it may be best to make your own. Seed starters may be sold for a lot, but the ingredients for a basic starter are not complicated.
Make your own seed starter and combine dry peat moss or coconut coir with perlite (volcanic sediment) at a 5:1 ratio. Before sowing your seeds, add water the same amount of water (in volume) to the amount of perlite (remember, the growing medium should be wet before placing the seeds on it).
Seed starter mix guarantees an effortless and way more successful germination rate.
With seed starter mix, you need to transplant your seed around 1-2 weeks after germination.
Both potting soil and seed starter mix seeds can sprout. It can be less easy with potting mix (lower germination rate and longer time). Still, it is not necessary to transplant the seedling once it develops.
What is the best seed starting mix for vegetables? The best seed starting mix for vegetables is by far the foxfarm lightweight here. This seed starting mix can be used for all types of seedlings even though its additional benefits might vary depending on the crop.
How to grow seeds for a higher germination rate? For a higher germination rate, high temperatures and moist levels need to be guaranteed. For more, check the complete guide to seed germination and the required germination time and time.

Panaesthetic typically refers to an aesthetic attraction to someone. Aesthetic attraction often focuses on a person’s appearance and expression. Panaesthetic attraction means that a person is attracted to anyone regardless of gender identity. People who experience this type of attraction tend to like someone’s appearance regardless of the gender of the object of their attraction.
4. How To Know If You’re Panaesthetic?
According to the Urban Dictionary, the term means finding anyone aesthetically pleasing, regardless of gender, without being sexually/romantically attracted to them.
The terminology focusing on aesthetic attraction first appeared on AVEN forums sometime in 2005. The prefix pan refers to all, so the word refers to being aesthetically attracted to all humans regardless of gender identity or expression.
It is unclear when the term was coined. It is crucial to note that panaesthetic individuals may have any sexuality. They may identify as queer, straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, etc.
There are several versions of the panaesthetic flag out there. The most commonly used version of the flag features a pan and aesthetic attraction flags combined. The colors of the flag represent the following:
The first shade of pink stands for people with neutral or genderless aesthetics
The second shade of pink represents people with feminine or xenic aesthetics
The reddish-pink represents non-human or animalistic aesthetics
The white represents the wide spectrum of attraction
The yellow represents the a-spec community
The blue represents people with masculine aesthetics
The circle in the middle represents all races and their aesthetics
Panaesthetic people may use a variety of different pronouns. Some folks may use neopronouns of their choice, while others may use pronouns like he/him or she/her as well as they/them. It is important never to assume someone’s pronouns based on their sexuality or gender.
Do your best to share pronouns in written and oral communication. If you doubt someone’s pronouns - use the person’s name at all times. Always use inclusive and gender-diverse language.
How To Know If You’re Panaesthetic?
If the label fits you well and you feel comfortable with it, then, by all means, go ahead and claim it for yourself. If you are aesthetically attracted to people regardless of their gender expression or identity, you may be panaesthetic. You may also identify as heterosexual or gay or queer and be panaesthetic. Remember, labels and identities may shift over time. You are the only person who can decide what label fits you best at a certain point in your life.
The first available version was posted on Tumblr in March 2018
The second flag appeared in April 2020. It combines aromantic and asexual flags on top of the pan flag
The Notes Which Do Not Fit:


Well, he works hard and deserves his fun, so I didn’t complain. And, when we’re both at the cabin without my uncle Bob or my cousin’s husband Rob, I’m his fishing partner. I help him get the boat into and out of our garage (non-trivial, given we have a lovely tree right in the way). I help him get the boat launched from the dock at Dyers Bay, and I help him on the boat itself.
Now, Dave and I are a great pair. I’m typically wracked with nervous energy and he’s Mr. Relaxed. I married him because I needed him around to calm me down and help me enjoy the moment. Well, the fascinating thing is that on the boat, I’m Ms. Relaxed and he’s Mr. Energy. It’s weird, its as if our roles are reversed.
Here’s the important part: I’m happy to be on the boat, watching the shoreline and the homes and the other boats. I’m happy if we don’t catch a fish. In fact, I’m happier if we don’t catch a fish because boating makes me incredibly lazy. I love how lazy it makes me, I’m content to just bob in the water, apply another coat of sunscreen, and hope we don’t catch a fish because that will entail actual work.
Unfortunately for me, but good for him, we’ve been doing well, fishing-wise. In our last two trips, we’ve landed an 8-pound and a 12-pound king salmon respectively. He hauls them in and I net them. These fish have given us way more lovely salmon than two people can eat. So, we’ve made gravelax, given some to neighbors, and we’ve vacuum-sealed and frozen some.
Now, I would have thought that a fishing boat might improve a marriage based on the “absence makes the heart grow fonder” adage. Not in this case. For me, it give us time together and a welcome reversal of roles. Now and then it is fun to be the relaxed one, while he does all the work of catching and then fileting the fishies we bring up. So, although I laughed when he bought the boat, and laughed when he got the tow rig for the car, and I laughed when each and every package from eBay came filled with lures and rods and what-have-you, I’m thrilled about the boat. I love seeing th the water. I love watching the loons dive and surface, I love seeing the rocky bluffs and forest I couldn’t get to on the land, and I love the time with my husband. Of course, if we caught fewer fish, I might be even more content (and relaxed) but he’s happy this way, so I can’t complain.
So, Dave and I took the Cessna-182 from UM Flyers to Tobermory for Memorial Day weekend. Due to the weather, we might have a short long weekend, we might have to come back on Sunday instead of Monday, but I was excited to fly instead of drive. Holiday weekends involve long, long, long waits at the Blue Water Bridge border crossing. And flying takes 1/3 of the time as driving. And the views are spectacular, absolutely spectacular. We flew from Ann Arbor, crossing into Canada at Port Huron/Sarnia. It’s always choppy until we cross the border: somewhat nausea-inducing. Dave thinks maybe it’s all the parking lots and building roofs, absorbing and releasing heat, causing thermals.
Then, when we crossed the border into Canada and the skies opened up, and Lake Huron was calm and beautiful, and the turbulence ended. Sigh lovely.
We got almost to the cabin (we were in the Meadow) and Dave pulled over. Our spare tire was by now completely flat and we were riding on the rim. The tire was pulling itself off the rim. Ummmm. What do to? We had no additional spares. There are no local auto parts stores, CAA is at least an hour away, and we were blocking the (little traveled) road.
We remembered my aunt and uncle’s minivan has an air compressor in the back. If they were already at the cabin, maybe I could walk there and drive it back. I started walking, while Dave took the second flat tire off the car. As I walked down the road, I got nervous thinking of Dave under the car, lying in the one-lane road. So, I circled back to see if there was some kind of warning I could put in the road ahead of the immobile Jeep so that he wouldn’t get crushed by an oncoming car.
They were able to get the tire with the screw in it up to pressure, so we switched it back onto the Jeep. We drove it to the cabin and the tire still is full enough a day later. We still have 2 tires that are busticated, one moreso than the other. Oddly enough, the one with the screw in it appears better than the spare.
So, we made it to the cabin, we have access to another car, and we sure are feeling lucky. I have no idea what we would have done if Pat and Bob hadn’t showed up right at the right moment. Happy coincidence!
He likes long walks and is interested in the flower and local history lore we share (even when we’re wrong about the details). He was game to purchase a fishing license and then game to spend most of a day cruising around Isthmus Bay near Lion’s Head not catching fish. But, what sealed the deal was after a long walk, when I was about to wonder how to entertain him, he decided to go off on a long solo paddle across and around Gillies Lake.
Curious about the area – interested in the flora and fauna (bear stories, etc.)and the rocks and the water.
Independent. The highest compliment is when the guest takes some time for himself (leaving me a moment or two to myself) to explore. Currently he’s out riding Dave’s bike.
Likes long walks.
Enjoys good food.
Tells entertaining stories.

We are.
It has chosen to ignore the will of South Tucson voters, who approved the ban four years ago. And it once again ignores the concerns of greyhound advocates, who fought hard to get the ban on the ballot.
Tucson Greyhound Park CEO and General Manager Tom Taylor has characterized the ban as a poor law, saying the steroids are an effective method for birth control.
He said the stigma associated with steroid injections comes from kennel operators, who traditionally gave dogs overly large doses under the thinking more was better.
By using a veterinarian, Taylor said Tucson Greyhound Park has avoided this problem.
"It's what's best for the dogs," Taylor said. "And we will always do what's best for the dogs."
Will Tucson Greyhound Park always do what's best for the dogs?
History says no. The greyhound racing industry again and again has shown disregard for the dogs.
We all, hopefully, remember the 140 greyhounds who went missing from the track between 2005 and 2006.
State authorities eventually assumed the dogs were killed by a hauler.
The law South Tucson voters approved bans this meat and ensures a minimum of time outside for the dog.
We support Tucson City Councilman Steve Kozachik's effort to have the council adopt a ban similar to South Tucson's.
Tucson Greyhound Park might be in South Tucson, but it is a black mark on our entire community.

Don Jon hits cinemas on November 15. </s> But since the Gate River Run, Kennard has struggled with a pesky left plantar fascia that causes compensatory problems in her left hip flexor. She’s been spending a lot more time running in the pool than on the roads. Her last run of more than 90 minutes was two weeks ago. Is Kennard concerned?
Kennard is used to finding a way to succeed other than the typical route. De Reuck’s husband, Darren, who coaches her, has tweaked his standard schedule to accommodate Kennard’s never-on-a-Sunday approach. “Tuesday and Friday are workout days, with Colleen,” Kennard says. “I go long on Saturday, whereas Colleen goes long on Sunday. I actually think this might be better—I’m running long on tired legs, then I have Sunday to recover from that combination.”
“What it boils down to is that I don’t agree with that concept,” she says. “I think there’s a reason why God took the seventh day to rest, to set an example for us. And not just as runners, but in everyday life. Our bodies, minds and spirits need that rest. It enables us to do more. There are too many other better things to do on Sunday than running.”

January is over and what a roller coaster month it has been for the investment community. You may recall that in last month's sector-wide TA update we made a point of noting that the bulls where in for a nasty surprise.
The turmoil in the stock markets hit with full force, and the bulls are still trying hard to fix the damage, but the outlook is still gloomy among investors and it seems that the troubles plaguing the markets aren't over by a long shot.
Strangely enough, up until now we saw the precious metals fall in price every time the dollar strengthened. This past week was different, with both Gold and Silver rising along with the dollar index.
This confirms again my opinion that the vast majority of the investment community still isn't recognizing what is going on in the Gold and Silver markets. They keep looking at both the metals as just short-term, safe-haven investments for worried investors.
The gold chart is still looking very strong to me, with both the MA's rising firmly along with Gold above them. The back test of the prior high was textbook, and was the perfect spot for sidelined investors to join the bulls if one had missed the first breakout to higher ground.
$100 Oil has still not been taken out. The most recent breakout failed and we are back at the support level which has stopped all prior corrections from this level until now.
Last Friday, Oil made a big jump higher attacking the 50 d. MA once again. A breach of this level will clear the way for a new run towards $100. If the technical conditions in the chart are correct, we can legitimately expect this assault on the $100 mark to transpire very soon. The RSI, MACD and DMI (buying power) are all shaping up for a large move higher. All we need is a trigger. A rise of Oil above its 50 d. MA should do the trick
The dollar managed to survive, with a last minute helping hand lifting it

"You take away why you signed him. On Sunday (26 September, 3-1 win over Tottenham), he played in his position. It was his best game for Arsenal for a while. He wants to do well but he has adapted his game. Now, at 32, he has to conserve his energy...
Now time is behind the player, he believes: "Now he doesn't do that, or he shouldn't. He can initiate a press, but only when he has legs around him. On Sunday, he had that. The three behind him, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Emile Smith-Rowe, are a combined 63. They can help with the pressings Aubameyang carries. But his best trait remains finishing. His goal on Sunday was hard to put in but he made it look easy."


W.C. Merritt founded the business in November 1991 hoping to be successful. Dolphin Safety Supply began in a small office above the State Farm Insurance building on Market Street. We first re-located to another small office with a little warehouse on Ingalls Avenue then to a larger office with a little larger warehouse on 13th Street. We are now in our present, and hopefully last move on Market Street once again with a 10,000 square foot warehouse and 4,000 square foot showroom. We have been proudly serving the Gulf Coast for 21 years and hope to supply customers for many more years to come.
We have now partnereted with CST to bring the Gulf Coast a one stop shop for all safety needs!
Consulting Safety Training LLC. (CST) was formed in 2009 by a team of safety professionals with the goal of sending every employee home to their families in the same safe condition they came to work in. The professionals at CST have been working together for more than 8 years and have enjoyed great success in the areas of reducing employee injuries, cultivating great work habits, removing barriers between craft workers, listening to the safety concerns of employees, and developing and implementing training materials and techniques. We most importantly get buy-in from employees on their commitment to safer work habits.


"It is very desirable that we should have uniformity throughout Australia with regard to these things. I am not so much wedded to the astronomical, but, in regard to the meteorological observations, it is most essential t. On a former occasion I pointed out that one of our best observers, Mr. Wragge, was very anxious we should have these observations in Tasmania. There was no obo establish these observations on Mount Wellington, but there is a general consensus of opinion among the best men that these observations would be invaluable to Australia. Why should the Government of Tasmania be called upon to meet an expenditure of this kind when it is admitted by the best men in Australia and elsewhere that these observations would be of more value to Australia than they could be to Tasmania, which happens to be the position from which they could be taken?

Voting For Someone You Know Nothing About Usually Has Bad Consequences
One proof of that is the little information people had about John Bonaventura, the Las Vegas Constable, and yet he won their votes.
In 1999, Bobby G – with almost three decades as a sergeant and supervis– decided to take the reigns of an agency that was operating with total lack of integrity and that was completely bankrupt; he was elected Las Vegas Constable, transforming the Las Vegas Constable’s Office into a well-funded agency and the pride of our community. He was, and still is considered to be, by his friends and former fellow officers, a man of great integrity with many innovative ideas.
to elect the person of his choice; after all, that’s what elections are for.
Those who voted for John Bonaventura thought and believed that they were voting for the judge, meaning “Judge Joseph Bonaventure.”
It happened when Judge Bonaventure’s son, Joe, ran for the judgeship in Justice Court. Many people voted for him just because he is the elder judge’s soounger Bonaventure proved himself on the bench as a fair, just and courteous judge and not Daddy’s son.
At the time of the general election, voters still didn’t bother to compare the qualifications of the two candidates – John Bonaventura and Peter Gariano, a trained law enforcement officer, Las Vegas chief constable, and later a court marshal for the City of Henderson.

I am SO USED to needing the exact amount of ingredients.Can someone estimate the amt of noodles to cook?
Not gluten free if you use regular chick broth. Has to be gluten free chick broth. Most regular broths have gluten.
Do you use cooked, or raw chicken?
You can use either raw or cooked. If using raw, I usually cook it for the 21 minutes listed in the recipe. If the chicken is already cooked you only need to cook it for 6 minutes in the pressure cooker.
Thanks for the Electric pressure cooker recipes. I'm getting one for Christmas and have been looking for recipes.
This tip about adding canned pumpkin to chicken soup has revolutionized my chicken soup!! Thank you so much. I just put in my SECOND batch of the day! I used 1/2 of a 15 oz. can of pumpkin for my regular soup makings (4 1/2 cups broth or water + vegies, etc.). Besides imparting a great color, the pumpkin adds a heartiness to the soup without taking over the flavor. Thanks again! Greer
Thanks for your comment Greer. We love the chicken soup this way as well. </s> This is the first general election for eighteen years where the outcome is impossible to predict. Yet, far from being gripped by the drama, millions of voters are already fed up to the back teeth with the election. Even some Guardian commentators reflect this mood. Geoffrey Wheatcroft, for example, expressed his happiness that he will be out of the country for the course of the election campaign.He described the plea of Guardian advocates for New Labour as being: "Yes, all right, the Labour government presided over a spurious economic miracle that was really no more than an explosion of household debt combined with criminal recklessness in the financial sector, it has created the most intrusive surveillance state in Europe, and it took us into a needless, illegal and disastrous war - but, hey, the Tories might be even worse." The "alternative slogan", Wheatcroft suggested, is equally "uninspiring": "Even if the Tories are pretty dodgy, anything to get rid of the present lot." In the last two general elections, turnout has been an historical low of around 60%. No doubt this time as well, many millions will abstain from voting in protest at three establishment parties who offer almost identical pro-capitalist policies. Others will vote for socialist candidates, particularly in the 42 seats whereffering a militant anti-cuts alternative. Unfortunately, in some areas, the lack of a genuine workers' party will mean that a layer of people will express their anger with the capitalist politicians by voting for the far-right, racist BNP.
The differences are equally small on other issues. The Tories stand for total privatisation of Royal Mail, but both New Labour and the LibDems call for part privatisation. At the same time the previous Labour commitment to freeze university tuition fees has been dropped, an indication that New Labour, just like the Tories, would lift the present cap on fees beyond the general election. It is clear that a Tory government would move to increase the amount of repressive anti-trade union legislation. New Labour, however, has not only left the previous Tory government's anti-trade union laws overwhelmingly intact, but has allowed them to be used in a brutal manner against the British Airways cabin crew and railway workers' union - effectively taking away the right to strike.The Socialist Party, like millions of workers, is not willing to accept a choice between a 'greater' and a 'lesser' evil. Neither is abstaining from elections a way forward. What is needed is the creation. TUSC, by standing in these elections, can be a step towards such a party. It is also standing to argue the case for socialism and to help prepare working class people for the mass struggle against cuts which will be needed beyond the general election.
LibDem leader Nick Clegg was right when he warned that "Greek-style unrest" would take place in Britain if a government with a small majority attempts to carry out "slash and burn" policies. However, any party that accepts the logic of the capitalist markets, as all three establishment parties do, will attempt to "slash and burn" our public services. The next government - regardless of its political stripe - will be a weak government with a shallow basis of social support, attempting to carry out deeply unpopular policies. As a result, at a certain stage, Greece will come to Britain as workers are forced to defend their living conditions against the brutal reality of 21st century capitalism. In the course of such movements there will be opportunities to build mass support for socialist ideas - as a real alternative to the three big parties of the bankers and the billionairesgg, poverty, social justice, socialism, tory </s> My cousin Brooke gave me this recipe, courtesy of Mario Batali on the Food Network.
