Free food

After I have my girlfriend move in with me , I did  inform Job centre and House benefits of this new changes.

This was enough for they to suspend my house and tax benefit PLUs my Job benefits.

After 1 Month of no payments and letters asking me for over payments on tax and house benefits, I decide to spend a day in Job centre to ask for my beck dated money and I have spend almost 4 hours in the phone waiting for answer that never come.

At this point, while I was on the phone at Job centre, I see in the balcony a pile of leaflets for free food as a form to fill in.
I tock 1 and bring back home.
This is sad, but after 1 month of no payment , I have survive on bread and water !! Soo.. I decide to bring one of this forms in and fill it up to get it back.

After a couple of days , I get back to the job centre and I hand up the form for one of the persons in the balcony.
That person ask me , where  did I get that form !?
I told him, I get it from the balcony on the Job centre while I was making phone calls to get my hardship payments.

The man look at me with a strange face and leave with the form in the hand...
After some minutes , he get back with other person and they start to look at a book (agenda) then , they get back to me and ask me where did I get the for ?
I told hem , I get the form from the balcony where all the other forms are , in front of the phones.
At this point, one of the Job centre workers , rise his voice to me and  told me ,this can be seen as a burglary and I was a thief !!!

I Told him, I only took the form from the balcony but he insist that my attitude  can be seen as Burglary.
Next, I have the security man asking me to leave the Job Center (J.C)

***************************************************
Now... ask for food is a burglary !? Since when ??
Take a form from a pile of forms in the Job Centre  is a robbery ??
I am not get paid for more then 30 days , I have no information of my claim, the phones on Job Centre don't give any useful information and I am  bugler because I ask for some food ??

I didn't have any information that I need to request this forms to get free food !!
I even , didn't know I can get some free food !!

This one just make me think ....
If you still a wallet from a rich guy, you are a cleaver man.
If you ask for food, you are a criminal !!!
Nice....
Do I have to ask permission to hang my self !??

What is money about

Money
What is this money about ?

Money was made by man
Money have a value give by man

Money don't grow from the trees or grow like potatoes, so why a recession !?
What the meaning of recession, if money can be made ?

If we have recession is because some one are not making money for all the population, Or this is just to have control in the people and society in general ?

I mean... if money was potatoes and if we start to have a problem with wedder, then we can have a recession, but money is not potatoes and some one are playing monopoly with us !

Gold ? What gold ?
Dont tell me that piece of plastic in the notes is gold !!
Nop, that is a piece of paper that is exclusive made in one place and I dont believe they have problems with resources to produce more of that paper that we call...money !

Something is wrong here !!

Is country's stoving and we still construct weapons... Worse, we sell the weapons and then we talk about piece in the world !

I dont know... I think we are living the , once upon a time ... time.

Some one give a mining to paper and we all believe that paper or piece of metal have value !

if tomorrow that same person come to us and say :
"from now one, we are in a big crisis and our money have no value"
This means, you will not be able to buy nothing with that money that yesterday was work 20$ .
Is this make sense ?

Something is wrong here !

We can go in a crisis and the shops stop to sell and the money have no value, then ... Gold !
and again... some one give a specific value for gold.
Gold is a metal like any other, do not contain healing powers and is so strong like any ordinary metal, and what !?
Is rare ? well, I can not eat gold but I can eat potatoes, so potatoes have more value !

I think something is wrong here !
Resuming...
Money is an illusion lived by the world and created from off a dozen of mind controllers.
Welcome to awareness and reality check.
Is this any news for you ?

Jesus !
This is just Hilarious and I don't loose the chance to related... why not !!??
Wile some country's still making wars and the Euro come to destroy the life of many people in some country's , we have the EU (European Union) making Important
decisions about... PIES !

Pork pie protected by EU law

(can you believe this !!??)

The Melton Mowbray pork pie will now be protected by European law.

The decision by the European Commission to grant Protected Geographical Indicator (PGI) status means only pork pies made in the traditional manner and in and around Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire will be allowed to use the town's name.

It comes after a 10-year-campaign lead by local county councillor Matthew O'Callaghan.

Cllr O'Callaghan, chairman of the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association, said: "Friday was the final deadline for the other countries to object to Melton Mowbray getting protected status.

"We heard ... that no objections had been lodged.

"It has been a long campaign and it has inspired others. You now have Cumberland Sausage and Jersey Butter following what we did."

Cllr O'Callaghan, who is vegetarian, said the campaign had increased the profile of the pies and seen sales rise. He said: "The Melton Mowbray market is worth £50million a year. That is a lot of pies.

"There are three things that make them distinctive, firstly the meat is grey because we use fresh pork. Secondly, they are bow-shaped rather than straight sided and this goes back to when they were made at home by farmhands rather than professional bakers. Bakers use hoops that make pies circular and straight sided.

"And thirdly, of course, they are made in the Melton Mowbray area."

The decision will now be published by the European Commission in its official journal and will then become law.

Comment:
Am I crazy or this is a joke ? This guys in government have nothing more important to do ? Probably PIES are very Important for the minister breakfast... Who Knows !!

Mean time... check to see if the Pies from the bar close to you are Original ... PIES !

TV Links shut down for linking

And if linking is illegal, how many of us are guilty?

October 20, 2007 1:42 PM

The TV Links disclaimer

According to a report in The Guardian: "A 26-year-old man from Cheltenham was arrested on Thursday in connection with offences relating to the facilitation of copyright infringement on the internet, Fact said."

The arrest and the closure of the site - www.tv-links.co.uk - came during an operation by officers from Gloucestershire County Council trading standards in conjunction with investigators from Fact and Gloucestershire Police.

Fact claims that tv-links.co.uk was providing links to illegal film content that had been camcorder recorded from cinemas and then uploaded to the internet. The site also provided links to TV shows that were being illegally distributed.

It's a pity the Gloucestershire Police started with such small fry. There are a couple of multibillionaires called Larry Page and Sergey Brin -- the founders of Google -- who provide vast numbers of links to content that is being illegally distributed. Indeed, as everyone knows, they actually host plenty of illegal content on their own video site, YouTube, which has a UK operation.

Is the message that it's less criminal to host illegal content on YouTube than it is to to link to it from a site such as TV Links? Or is it just that FACT (Federation Against Copyright Theft) and the police won't tackle anybody with enough high-powered lawyers to fight back? Is The New Freedom blog correct in saying: "They just have so much money that they have become above the law."

Of course, there is a difference between building a site around links to content that could be presumed to lack copyright clearance and linking unintentionally from a site set up for a different purpose. However, I'm not a lawyer so I don't know how significant this is. (Is shoplifting OK if you have a proper job but criminal if you're unemployed and starving?)

It will be interesting to see who FACT picks on next. There are plenty of newspaper journalists who nowadays, as part of their proper jobs, link to YouTube videos and other internet content. It would be amazing if every single bit of material -- some of it "repurposed" -- had full and correct copyright clearance.

In future, do I risk being thrown in the slammer for linking directly to a YouTube video? What if I just say "go to Google and search for [YouTube xxx yyy]" or whatever? Oh dear, I forgot, Google's illegal so that will have to be closed down.

Perhaps I am already breaking the law by linking to Google, YouTube, TV Links, Pirate Bay and other sites that link to illegal content because this must also count as contributing to "the facilitation of copyright infringement on the internet" -- and, by the way, I expect you are breaking the law if you link to or even read this story.

Indeed, if linking is illegal, we might as well shut down the Internet, because there is no practical way anybody can guarantee the legality of what's on the end of any link. Even if you could guarantee it at the time of linking, there's no guarantee it would still be legal less than a second later, or for the rest of time.

Update: Amusing in context, see this earlier Guardian article TV quick!, about sites that provide links to TV programmes.



ABOUT:

TV-Links replacements

I thought that for the first entry in my blog I would post something that is usefull to other people rather than a boring intro about myself (maybe I'll do that later hah!).

As we all know the nazi's have grabbed the TV-Links owner on Thursday and have/are probably threatening him with all sorts of nasty things if he doesn't admit he's a terrorist. Really, shouldn't the police be out stopping murderers and armed robbers rather than raiding some kid's home for a website?

Anyway, I've decided to give a list of what i consider to be the best TV link sites around, that is, sites where you can go find your favorite episode of Lost, Buffy or 24. I simply don't have the time to trawl through YouTube, DailyMotion or Guba for shows or movies so it's a godsend that the sites below exist. The list below is just my personal favorites, I'm sure you have your own and if so let me know, the more sites the better! Anyway without further ado......

SurfTheChannel
These guys are without a doubt my favorite and that's saying something when I only found it a week ago. It's basically a clone of tv-links but with a few nice additions. I love the way I can subscribe to any channel or show via RSS which makes it easier to keep track of my fav shows. At time of writing they have *14,712* tv episodes. The site is in beta right now but personally I haven't come across 1 bug yet. The only drawback of this site is that the community is non-existent but I suppose that will change as the site becomes better known.

Alluc
Alluc used to be so sloooowwwwwww but they seem to have upgraded their server and now theyre nippy as hell. They have a nice crowd there and you rarely get dead links as they're on top.

**The rest below I won't comment on because if I'm honest STC and Alluc gives me what I need so I don't go need much else. If anyone would like to comment about the ones below though I would be happy to edit to show people's thoughts.

Free Tibet Campaign Petition

Gordon Brown urged to meet Dalai Lama

As the Chinese government ratchets up its anti-Dalai Lama rhetoric, Free Tibet Campaign is today calling on Prime Minister Gordon Brown to show support for the Tibetan religious leader and his people.

In a Downing Street e-mail petition (1) launched today the group are calling for the Prime Minister to make an official announcement that he will meet formally with the Dalai Lama during his visit to the UK next May.

The groups further requests that the Prime Minister's discussions with the Dalai Lama address how the United Kingdom can help Tibetans find a solution to the Chinese occupation which began in 1950.

Free Tibet Campaign said:

'The esteem in which the Dalai Lama is held everywhere except China is evident today with his receipt in the US Congress and in front of President George Bush of the highest civilian honour bestowed by the US government.

'The Dalai Lama symbolizes the tragedy of the Tibetan people whose culture has been under assault by the occupying Chinese authorities for more than half a century.

'It's time for the UK to stand up unequivocally for the rights of the Tibetan people.'

- ends -

Notes:

(1) The petition can be signed here, and says:

'As President George Bush and the United States Congress honor His Holiness the Dalai Lama, we, British citizens and residents, begin this petition requesting that Prime Minister Gordon Brown make a formal statement that he will meet officially with the Dalai Lama when he visits the United Kingdom in May 2008. We further request that the Prime Minister state on record that his meeting with the Dalai Lama will include a discussion of how the United Kingdom can help Tibetans find a solution to the Chinese occupation which began in 1950.'

Sale of hallucinogenic magic mushrooms to be forbidden in the Netherlands

The sale of hallucinogenic magic mushrooms is about to be banned by the Dutch Government in the latest sign of a conservative backlash against Amsterdam’s relaxed attitude towards sex and drugs.

A series of high-profile deaths and injuries linked to magic mushroom trips has proved too much for ministers, who are expected to discuss prohibition proposals from Ab Klink, the Health Secretary, at a Cabinet meeting today.

The move follows growing official impatience with the unforeseen consequences of traditional Dutch tolerance, which instead of normal-ising drug taking and prostitution has drawn in people-traffickers, dealers and organized crime gangs from across Europe.

Mr Klink’s push for a ban on the mushrooms follows plans by the Mayor of Amsterdam for an upgrade of the city’s infamous red-light district, including the closure of many of its prostitute windows and coffee shops where cannabis is openly sold.

Job Cohen, the mayor, has also proposed a three-day “cooling-off” period between ordering mushrooms and buying them, to put off Amsterdam’s many weekend tourists, but that did not go far enough for Mr Klink.

Fresh mushrooms — as opposed to dried fungi which are already banned — are legally on sale at so-called smart shops, about 40 of which have sprung up in the capital selling all manner of herbal and chemical compounds.

The sale of hallucinogenic mushrooms is illegal in most other countries and the dramatic rethink in the Netherlands has followed a rise in medical emergencies in Amsterdam linked to mushroom use.

Ambulance call-outs rose from 70 in 2005 to 128 last year, with nine out of ten cases involving tourists. Britons were the largest group among them.

In July an 18-year-old from Iceland threw himself out of a hotel window, breaking both his legs.

But what really caught the public imagination was the death of a 17-year-old French girl who jumped from a bridge over one of Amsterdam’s canals to her death in March, apparently under the influence of magic mushrooms.

In May, Mr Klink ordered the national health institute to carry out a fresh study on the risks of mushrooms, following an earlier report that played down the health dangers and led to a continuation of the tolerant approach.

Magic mushrooms are not addictive, but can have severe psychological consequences. Over the past six years mushrooms in dried and fresh form have been banned in Britain, Denmark and Ireland. In Britain, freshly picked magic mushrooms have been classified as Class A drugs for two years. The Drugs Act 2005 brought the law on fresh mushrooms into line with dried specimens. Britain acted after a significant rise in the amount of imported magic mushrooms.

Defenders of the tolerant Dutch approach gave warning yesterday that a ban would leave magic mushroom trading to street dealers. A spokesman for the Amsterdam Drugs Advisory Bureau said: “This is not a mushroom problem, it is a tourist problem. But the ban would hit Dutch users.”

Peter van Dijk, a researcher at the Utrecht-based Trimbos Institute, which studies drug addiction, said: “A mushroom is not very dangerous. It is not as toxic as, for example, heroin or cocaine.” The real danger came from a blend of alcohol, cannabis and mushrooms that led people “to do things they normally would not”, he added.

Joep Oomen, of the European Coalition for Just and Effective Drug Policies, a pressure group calling for the legalization of drugs, said that a ban would drive the drug culture back underground.

“Prohibition will not stop the sale of hallucinogenics. It will move towards an illegal market and users will be forced to start using things they do not really want with no indication of the dosage and the risks,” he said.

Natural high

— The Liberty Cap and the Fly Agaric are the most common “magic mushrooms” in Britain

— Among the Koryak people of Siberia the ceremonial use of Fly Agaric involved the shaman ingesting the mushroom, after which others would drink his urine to partake of its effects

— Reindeer in northern Europe are also attracted to the Fly Agaric and Siberian people would slaughter them and get high by eating the meat

— Recently Sienna Miller, while publicising her film Factory Girl, in which she plays Andy Warhol’s drug-addicted muse Edie Sedgwick, admitted being very fond of magic mushrooms - causing outcry among anti-drugs campaigners

"You must break toy gun,’ family is told"

A YOUNG boy was left in tears after a police officer ordered that his toy gun should be broken in front of him.

Samuel England, eight, was playing with the plastic toy outside his house in Pinehurst on Wednesday when the police officer pulled him up.

His sister Sophie was also banned from riding her battery-powered Barbie car on the pavement in Beech Avenue minutes later.

The family say the officer called at the family's home and said it was an offence for Samuel to play with an imitation firearm in a public place.

Samuel's mother's partner John Standen, 34, was told to destroy the gun or face the boy being taken to the police station.

"The officer told me if I didn't break it Samuel would be arrested," he said.
"It is not right as it is only a toy gun - you can buy them everywhere.

"Samuel was so upset - he didn't stop crying for about 10 minutes.
Samuel said: "The police officer took me and my friend's gun. I felt very sad and angry."
Mum Sarah, 30, said: "Samuel was so scared that he would be taken away. I had to explain to him that they can't do that."

The gun which is now broken in two has an orange trigger, which made a noise.
The barrel is sealed with plastic.

Five minutes after the police officer had witnessed the destruction of the gun, he returned to complain about Sophie's Barbie car.

The six-year-old was traveling on the pavement in the battery-powered car at three miles an hour and the officer said it is only allowed in the garden.

Sarah said: "I'm so annoyed. There are loads of kids and they all play out there.
"People will be buying the cars for Christmas so parents need to know they aren't
allowed on the pavement."

PC Vicky Floyd, the community beat officer for Pinehurst Neighborhood policing team, said she was unable to comment on the specific incident but said that even toy guns can be mistaken for real weapons.

She said: "All reports of firearms result in the deployment of specifically trained officers and this diverts them from other duties.

"There is also a risk to the person carrying such a weapon. It is difficult to tell the difference between a real and an imitation firearm and officers will take appropriate action to protect the public."
