"Conservative-run Wandsworth council in south London has started eviction proceedings against a woman whose son appeared in court charged in connection with the riots in Clapham Junction. It is the first local authority to issue an eviction notice on a tenant in the wake of the riots although Westminster, Greenwich, Hammersmith and Fulham, Nottingham and Salford councils have all said they will consider evicting those found to have taken part in the unrest."

This will really go a long way to adressing the underlying social malaise that led to the riots!

I don't believe that all parents are always to blame, some have tried very hard to the best of their abilities but have children who are out of control and need proper support, ending up homeless is the last thing they need. Many of these kids will have siblings who have done nothing wrong why do they have to pay for it and lose their home?

You can hardly call evicting an entire family justice.

But putting people who are already disenfranchised out on the street will surely help them to feel they have a stake in society!

I wonder if any pro bono lawyers will pick up judicial review claims?

It might turn out to be an expensive and pointless exercise. It is not going to work as a deterrent either, teenagers often act on the spur of the moment, think they are immortal and that they will never get caught otherwise they would never do drugs, joyride or other very stupid things teenagers do.

Well damn, Miss Tam. *tips cap* I'm doing the very best I can and even though I'm barely getting by, this will pass and there are surely people getting by with far less. Perspective and all.

They really are - and even though it's a well-worn truism, you do find out who the best ones are when times are not so great.

My last couple years of high school we had two dogs. An Akita that was a great family dog and a Weimaraner that was more like my dog and sort of tolerated the presence of the rest of the family. The Weimaraner would crash in my room and when my dad would try to wake me up for school she'd growl and refuse to let him in the room.#SaturdayFF

AKIVA WHERE ARE YOU TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS
- Mike Nayyar
I'm also considering Omnifocus, but that seems like it's a little too in depth for me right now...after listening to some crazy Merlin Mann workflow stuff, I have a burning urge to have fancy crap working for me right now...
- Mike Nayyar
Things is good if you're not totally married to the Getting Things Done methodology. One thing I like about Things over OmniFocus is that tasks in Things can have multiple tags to describe things about the task such as a person that you need for you to get the task done, or a location you have to be, or an item you have to have. OmniFocus, on the other hand, allows only one 'context'...

- Akiva
How regular are the updates? Has the feature set changed dramatically, or is it in sore need of an update? Nested tags - does it work, or does it just become a huge mess? Adding tasks - do you use dedicated hotkeys, or is there an app launcher type of deal you use?
- Mike Nayyar
I tried to get onto the Evernote thing. It just took too much effort to put my brain and life into it. I just end up using Notepad++ (at work) or TextMate (at home) to write tons and tons of text files, and sync to Dropbox. I think I'll invest in Hazel (http://www.noodlesoft.com/hazel...) to organize my junk into some sort of logical pile.
- Mike Nayyar
I've been a huge fan of Things for years now. Bought their Mac and iPhone apps back in 08 and their iPad app as soon as it was released. I've become frustrated with their lack of OTA sync, which to my mind is way overdue. So I've just recently made the switch to OmniFocus. I was always more than a little intimidated by how complicated and feature-rich OmniFocus looked, but this time...

- Patrick Jordan
@Patrick I still get the impression that Omnifocus is for a user who is a bit more advanced than I am...I'm just dipping my toes into task management software, and so far what I've tried (Wunderlist is the most notable so far) has been underwhelming for me. Is it worth it to get Omnifocus for Mac/iPhone and really spend the time to learn it, vs diving in with no learning into the Things ecosystem?
- Mike Nayyar
Sounds like probably best to move to Things - which has a beautiful, simple UI and offers a strong set of features. It lacks the OTA sync, but not much else essential beyond that - especially if you're just dipping your toes in.
- Patrick Jordan
in my history of addiction to, and then disposal of, personal organizing tools, I can say that Things and I had a delightful relationship, while it lasted. It's a great design.
- Que Sarah Sarah
The only things that stop me from using Things is the lack of OTA sync and the fact that you can't separate projects enough. For example, I want to have personal projects distinct from work projects and I want to look at either one or the other. As it is right now, Things shows them all mixed together. There are tacky ways around this but they're just that: hacky. There are a few other issues with Thiings (such as no sub-projects) but the other two are deal-killers for me.
- Akiva
Hmm. I can see this being a real issue for me. Subprojects are kind of a must, especially since I like to approach things piecemeal. Argh. So it's starting to sound more and more like I should be looking at Omnifocus instead.
- Mike Nayyar
Ergh. Omni is $30 more for the Mac app, $10 more for the iPhone app. $40 bucks more for OTA, subprojects?
- Mike Nayyar
Fuck it. I'm going Things. I'm not ninja enough for Omnifocus yet. I'll rely on Cultured Code to make some updates.
- Mike Nayyar
To prove how fickle I am, I was mulling over this last night while staring at Things in the App Store, and it hit me that, with the impending release of iOS 5 & Lion and iCloud, it would make sense to wait a bit until the release of that in the fall before jumping onto either, to see the iCloud integration (which theoretically would solve OTA sync issues). I have to imagine the developers of Things and Omnifocus are working feverishly on getting this iCloud stuff into their apps. They would have to...
- Mike Nayyar
I don't expect software with existing solutions to drop what they have for iCloud just because it's there. OmniFocus has been beta-testing their own OTA server solution for awhile now (and it's been flawless for me so far). Cultured Code has been working for years on a customized solution for Things and are in beta of that now (I'm on the beta but it's a bit useless to me as they...

Zulema - my Zoe is 8. She's grown very quickly the last couple of years so she has a little bit of trouble sort of growing into her frame. Some things come easy to her (running with her long legs) and others are troublesome for her. Luckily, she has fun with just about everything, whether she's good, bad, or mediocre at it.
- Patrick Jordan
My Zoe is the same way: tall for her age and all legs. :P She's always happy too. Her and Joaquin are all smiles all the time!

We don't have a back door. We have a front door and a door in Akiva's office. I use the front door and he uses his office door, so I'd say it's about 50/50.

Maybe I should have worded it front vs "back or side door".
