The markets are nervous - heading for the second day of 1% + fall in the DJIA (could even hit 2% by close today). Oil is about to hit $77; and I just heard Dubya with Angela Merkel getting his tongue tied around his 'working for peace' 'working for freedom', 'fighting the enemies of P & F' etc etc refrain yet again. I've long passed laughing at him. It was surreal and deeply deeply depressing.
This post from the 'Running on Empty' Yahoo discussion group is pretty close to how I see things right now:
The great thing about predicting human events is that you are so often wrong. In this case, nothing would make me happier than to be in error. But, God help us all, I think the odds are better than 1in 5. The beginnings of wars are often hard to identify. Which act like the spark on the tinderbox? Which straw was the final one? Like peak oil itself, the beginnings of war are often visible only in retrospect. Why today? Why, when we might make the case that the war began when the US invaded Iraq? Why when this particular cause might turn out to be just another brush fire? We don't know. We can only guess. This morning, Israel invaded Lebanon in retaliation for the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers, and began shelling. Hezbollah is demanding the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners. Israel is threatening to return Lebanon to the war of 20years ago. Iran and Syria are both making noises in support of Hezbollah, and our president has demanded the release of all prisoners.
Our government has been looking for an excuse to invade Iran, and here is one ready-made - Iran's longstanding economic and military support of Hezbollah. Moreover, American strategy in the middle east is deeply tied into Israel, and there is no question that we will provide support of some sort or another if Israel fully commits to war with Lebanon and perhaps Syria. Another American beach head, run through Israel, is likely to spark more conflict with Iran and other nations in the middle east. And full-scale, multi-national war in the middle east is something no independent nation in the world can afford to ignore. As Iraq fragments and the US is increasingly overcommitted, China and Russia are caught between their economic and energy ties to Syria and Iran, and their desire not to antagonize the US. But if the Middle East fully ignites, neither China nor Russia will be free not to choose sides. They will have to protect their own interests. And I believe nothing good could possibly come from so many people with big guns and nuclear bombs trying to decide how to take sides. I could be wrong. It could all just peter out. But the crisis pattern resembles a few we've seen before in our history books. I pray I'm wrong, but I won't be surprised if someday, today is named the beginning of the next world conflict. As I said before, God help us all, and may I look as silly as everyone else who makes predictions and is wrong.

Hi sab,
I'm very much in agreement with you here. What was most disgusting actually was the tomfoolery over the damn pig Bush would be getting for tea that night. Bush is an embarrasment for our species - making light of this desperate situation when the world's spotlight is upon him.
Tacit American (and British) condoning of Isreal stamping all over the middle east in jackboots has caused more misery and suffering than I can bear to contemplate. But when we dare to point it out we are called antisemitic. It's a disgrace.
I am pleased to see the Craig murray docs on your site. Have you got the book yet? I've just made a start on it (amazon took an age to send it out, presumable because of the legal wranglings) and I'm finding it funnier than I had dared hope for, although with every page there is something that makes me want to weep.
I have bookmarked your site and will be back.
kind regards

Clare - I finished reading it last week. There's a review of mine Here. Only on the US site though. I submitted it to Amazon UK a week ago and have queried why it's not up. No reply yet but have to wonder if it's the UK operation running wary, if not scared, of the UK government.
I'll link your site and drop by now and again too. All the bestMarketing department alumna and graduate assistant Kaitlynn Kaminski was recently recognized by Delta Sigma Pi as the Gateway Regional Collegian of the Year and the South Central Provincial Collegian of the Year for her work with the Kappa Omicron chapter at Missouri State University. This achievement recognizes Kaminski’s efforts to develop not only the Missouri State chapter but the national fraternity as a whole. In her two and a half years of membership, she has left a lasting impact on DSP-KO at Missouri State that will not soon be forgotten.
Kaitlynn Kaminski began her time at Missouri State in 2017 when she started working towards her Bachelor of Science in Marketing Research. She was a highly engaged student and sought out opportunities to further her experience. Kaminski pledged Delta Sigma Pi – Kappa Omicron in the fall of 2018 and quickly dove head-first into the organization. “I was the pledge class president during my pledging semester and then went on to serve on the pledge education committee the following semester,” says Kaminski. “After getting more involved on a committee, I knew I wanted to continue to get involved and give back to my chapter.” With each semester, Kaminski’s involvement continued to grow as she learned more about the fraternity and developed relationships with her brothers.
During her time with the chapter, Kaminski has held several positions including Vice President of Pledge Education, Vice President of Alumni Relations, and Chapter President. She has also gotten involved with Delta Sigma Pi on a national level, attending national events, serving on a national COVID-19 task force, and hosting a seminar focused on alumni relations. Even after completing her undergraduate degree in May of 2020, Kaminski continued to be involved in Delta Sigma Pi while working on her Master of Business Administration.
As a result of her dedication to the organization, Kaminski was nominated by her fraternity brothers to be considered as the Collegian of the Year (COY). COY nominees embody the values and ideals laid out by the fraternity and have made meaningful impacts through their contributions, achievements, and personal character. After she was nominated, Kaminski completed an application that involved demonstrating her commitment to the fraternity, community involvement, and scholastic aptitude. COY applications are reviewed by the Regional Scholastic Development and Awards Committee to select a total of 31 Regional COY recipients. Regional COYs are then reviewed by a Provincial committee to determine the five Provincial COY recipients. Once these nominees are finalized, a National COY is chosen by to represent all of Delta Sigma Pi’s membership and serves the Board of Directors for a two-year term.
Beyond these awards, Kaminski is grateful for the opportunities that her involvement with Delta Sigma Pi has provided her personally and professionally. She specifically notes that the fraternity has helped her form connections with other DSP alumni and develop important skills that have made her a more effective communicator. “Being confident in your ability to talk with anyone and everyone and build connections with them is so vital in general, but especially when trying to find a job,” says Kaminski. “Delta Sigma Pi helped me build that confidence which enabled me to obtain several internships and jobs while in college and a full-time job offer when I graduate.” Her experiences in various leadership positions have also developed her leadership abilities and given her experience with managing diverse teams, making strategic decisions, and navigating a team through tumultuous times.

In part 5 we took our first look at Doctrine which allowed us to create, updated, and delete entities in our database.
Now we move on to another corner stone of modern web development - forms.
Symfony 2 has an excellent Form Builder available for our use, and in this video we take a look at creating some basic forms, how we can render them in our templates, how we can handle, validated, and save the submitted form data, and also how to repopulate a form with already existing data.Tom Loizou's side pushed Great Wakering Rovers all the way: Tony Gay
Haringey Borough ended their Essex Premier Division season in second place after a 3-0 win over Takeley.
Boro missed out on top spot by a point as Great Wakering Rovers won at Basildon United on the final day.
Haringey reversed their recent trend and scored all their goals in the second half. The hosts should have been ahead by the interval but their finishing was not up to the standard of some promising approach play.
Takeley rarely threatened but keeper Ashley Harris was called on for one vital contribution midway through the half when he pushed away a close-range header. Darrell Cox scored with a spectacular hook on the turn into the top corner two minutes into the second half and a more relaxed Borough then dictated play for the rest of the match.
Cox completed his second hat-trick in three days with more straightforward finishes in the 61st and 70th minutes. The match was
