(Pocket-lint) - The BlackBerry Torch 9860 is a 3.7-inch touchscreen smartphone, sweeping aside the Storm name to give RIM another crack at a keyboardless device. It arrives with BlackBerry OS7, the same as the BlackBerry Bold 9900 which we reviewed recently, but offering a large screen BlackBerry experience.
Touchscreen devices are the most competitive category of smartphones. With big players producing increasingly sophisticated devices and refining the user experience at such a pace the BlackBerry Torch 9860 faces a huge challenge. Can BlackBerry still make an impact on the consumer space, or does forgoing a keyboard leave the handset toothless?
Design and controls
BlackBerry devices have been consistent in their design over the past few generations. One glance and you know the Torch 9860 is a BlackBerry. The framing of the two halves of the device with the silver band reflects a design highlight BlackBerry have been using for a couple of years. The soft curve at the top of the phone means you don't get a hard edge against your ear when you make a call.
By contrast, there is a sharp, hard, edge at the back of the phone and given the location of the lock/unlock on the top of the device, it's almost impossible to unlock the display comfortably using one hand. It's a small point and one of the first things we noticed. Even so, after about a week of use it stopped bothering us.
Running across the bottom of the display are a familiar selection of controls and all are physical buttons that stand proud of the body of the phone, unlike the flattened controls of the Bold 9900 or Torch 9810. Having pronounced controls might seem a little retro but at least you don't knock them as you use the device, so accidental presses are almost non-existent.
The screen tapers off to the left and right too, which makes it nice to swipe across the entire width of the phone, something that BB7 will let you do, thumbing through the menus or your messages.
The delicate contouring of the body of the phone around the 3.5mm headphone jack and the Micro-USB look great. It's nice to see attention to detail, especially design detail, but it does makes the BlackBerry Torch 9810 look a little unloved.
Measuring 120 x 62 x 11.5mm it's a good size too, although we feel the 120mm height is perhaps a little larger than it needs to be - we don't know how many extra millimetres went into those ends that feel just a bit too sharp.
We've mentioned main controls running across the bottom of the screen. These give you proper calling buttons, although BlackBerry now doesn't colour the call accept and reject buttons in green and red respectively, instead they are all white. Then there are menu button, the clickable, optical, navigation key and finally the back button.
Running down the side of the handset you'll find the usual arrangement of volume controls, in the centre of which is an additional button which will act as play/pause for your music, although, annoyingly, it won't launch the music player if it isn't already open. Finally there is the convenience key that can be programmed to launch an app of your choosing.
Screen and hardware
Being a touch model and offering a large 3.7-inch display mean that the screen has to be good. It offers you resolution of 800 x 400 pixels, making it comparable to a number of Android and Windows Phone 7 devices. One thing is clear here: BlackBerry has figured out that people do care about specs.
What we find interesting, however, is that this gives you a different aspect to the BlackBerry Torch 9810, so across all the current devices you have different screen ratios. In the Torch 9860's favour, this is at least fairly conventional, so when you pair it up against something like the HTC Desire S your screen real estate is effectively the same.
It is a bright and vibrant screen. In direct sunlight we had no problem making out the details, with colours staying authentic, which is great. At the other end of the scale, however, it doesn't seem to want to dim to save the strain on your eyes - and battery - as the light drops, so you'll find that at night it can be a little dazzling.
But we're impressed with the performance. It is sharp, video playback looks good and the colour is impressive - a little on the warm side of the colour scale, but that brings a nice vibrancy to reds.
Elsewhere on the hardware front you'll find a 1.2GHz processor under the hood, along with 768MB RAM and 4GB of internal memory. This internal memory can be further boosted by microSD card. Hardware specs aren't the measure of a mobile phone, but with more and more people seeking out these sorts of numbers, at least the Torch 9860 comes to the track with the right kit.
Software and keyboard
Hardware can only get you so far however, if your software isn't optimised then the user experience will suffer. Refining software is something that RIM has been doing for a number of years, resulting in the most recent iteration of the operating system BB7. It isn't significantly different from BB6 visually, more of a refinement of the changes ushered in with the last generation.
There is nothing inherently wrong with that, but a doubt hangs over these new BlackBerry devices with ongoing discussion of a move to the QNX platform next year. As it is, the user experience on the Torch 9860 is somewhat marred by the software: at times it will drag its heels or stop responding for reasons you can't quite determine.
Some things obviously do have an impact on it: installing apps seems to tax the phone, locking you out of pretty much everything else and we've found that the homescreen and the browser would both regularly hang. We would often have to pull the battery to get it going again.
Of course the feature that BlackBerry owners get excited about is email, and you'll find everything present and correct. Setup out of the box is a breeze and within a few minutes you'll find yourself connected, receiving email and logged into your Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Giving the nod to Google users, you can set up syncing to pull over your contacts and calendar too, which were swiftly handled. Unfortunately, as we've seen before, if you have more than one calendar associated with a Google account then you can't access them all: so we had to resort to Google Sync (the app) to bring the other calendar into line.
Take this step with caution, however, as we subsequently found that our PC calendar then had the appointments in triplicate, with no logical discernable method of easily tidying things back up again.
BlackBerry 7 offers up a respectable user experience and is more adept at touch control than in the past. A long press often brings up the pertinent menu controls, but you'll still find yourself needing the full menu to really get things going.
On other BlackBerry devices you have the advantage that you can easily get things going with the keyboard by using universal search. That advantage has now gone because you have to use the on-screen keyboard, although universal search is still in place, along with voice search.
Voice searching did a good job of picking out for contacts, but once you get into more difficult language, like the name of our local vet for example, the success ratio drops off rapidly. At least you get the run of universal search applications to choose from, be it BlackBerry Maps, Twitter, YouTube, etc.
The default keyboard itself isn't especially good. We're spoilt from using great third-party Android keyboards, which make BB7's keyboard look rather prehistoric. But with some tinkering you can probably find the right settings for you, the first port of call for us was speeding up the response from the keyboard as the default is rather sluggish.
Of course the keyboard opens whenever you enter a text field and can be closed with a quick swipe down the middle. After that you'll either have to find another text field to open it, or you'll have to open the menu and hit the "Show Keyboard" option. You might want to do this to take advantage of some of the BB shortcuts, like "T" for "top", for example.
In portrait we found the full keyboard was just too cramped and too inaccurate, meaning text entry slowed right down. Fortunately the reduced keyboard is also an option, the same as appears on the likes of the Pearl 8100 series, with two characters on each key. The phone can then sensibly pick out the words you're trying to write and the whole experience gets much better, as long as you don't need too many special characters. Some of the traditional BB shortcuts still work too, like a double space for full stop, or a space for inserting the @ into an email in an address field.
The core BlackBerry applications work well enough: universal inbox pulling in messages from all sources, including apps, and in many cases we've found the BlackBerry Facebook app to be much faster than the equivalent on Android. Being able to compose a message and get an option of just about all message types to send to is useful too.
We're not huge fans of BlackBerry Maps, which looks a little dated compared to most other mapping services like Google or Bing Maps on Windows Phone 7, but will just about do the job and Google Maps can be installed if you prefer. We found that there was no link from the calendar locations through to maps, leaving us to copy and paste. At least copy and paste is relatively simple to control, but can be a little too eager, for example selecting text in the Twitter app, when all you really want to do is scroll.
Browser and apps
The biggest change, however, is the browser. BlackBerry knew they had to improve it, and it really has done. It is now much faster than previously, so straight website browsing is a pleasure, with pages quick to load.
However, it isn't without problems. We've already mentioned that we experienced a lot of lock-ups when using the browser and this is a problem compounded by one of the other issues that faces the Torch 9860 and BB7 devices: apps.
Without dedicated apps, you'll spend more time using the browser to access those services, or that information, to get what you need. Although BlackBerry has BBC iPlayer, Spotify, eBay, Skype apps, for example, they aren't available for the Torch 9860. Head to the BBC iPlayer website and you'll get the standard "Your phone isn't supported" message.
What this points to is the immediate need for apps to be updated to give the Torch 9860 the best fighting chance as a competitive handset. Of course we found the same position with the Bold 9900 when we reviewed it in August and we're no better off. With the spectre of QNX hanging over this generation of devices, we can't be entirely confident it'll get the attention it needs to shine.
Camera and multimedia
With 3.7-inches of screen on offer video certainly comes to the fore. Despite the very obvious omission of Flash video support limiting your consumption of common online video, we found that local content was handled nicely. HD media from the memory card was delivered smoothly, so if you happen to have a stack of MPEG4 movies, then you'll be able to easily enjoy them on your phone. There is no sign of DLNA support however.
The 5-megapixel camera on the rear of the device is supported by an LED flash, suffering from the usual shortcomings you'd expect from a phone. Low light shots aren't great, but in good light, the Torch 9860 will give you reasonable results. Being an autofocus camera, you'll get nice sharp images.
It does lack some excitement though, not offering anything by the way of effects. Video is also impressive, churning out good quality 720p footage at 30fps. Again, during video filming you'll find that you get continuous autofocus, so we don't have much to complain about.
Plug in a set of reasonable third-party headphones and you'll find that the BB Torch 9860 sounds sweet. The external speaker also provides good quality and volume, be that for sharing your tunes at the bus stop or that ad hoc conference call in your hotel room.
Finally, we never had a problem getting through a day on the battery. We did come close to emptying it during a normal working day, but we never felt that we needed to leave the house on a full charge in the same way we often to with similar spec Android devices.
Some areas of the BlackBerry Torch 9860 feel a little antiquated as a consumer device. Diving into the menus you still need to "save" as you make changes. We also can't help feeling that, although the sliding app tray, and the choice of homescreen menus is useful, it isn't as dynamic as other operating systems. Without the app tray up, you're looking at a simple wallpaper, so you don't get the same sense of immediate control as you might from widgets, notification bar controls or lockscreen controls.
But some aspects of BB7 shine on the Torch 9860. Messaging, be it SMS, email, BBM, Facebook or Twitter, continue to be strong and integrated. We've also found that those essential apps work well. Sharing (or sending as it's referred to) works as well as it does anywhere else. So barring a few exceptions, the Torch 9860 is every bit as effective a social communicator as any other device.
Pair that with strong camera performance, great video, and good screen and speedy browser, all packed into a phone that's actually rather attractive to look at and there is something going for the 9860. It's a shame then that minor software details are what really let the package down: the lack of app support for BB7 and tendency to become unresponsive are challenging, but not insurmountable, problems.

There's never been an Elvis Costello album like National Ransom, even though nothing about the record is especially new. Working again with producer T-Bone Burnett, Costello cycles through his usual obsessions with archaic Americana, stately pop, and early rock, in songs that tell stories—both humorous and tragic—about economic exploitation and entertainers' lonely lives. But perhaps because Costello has recently been reflecting on his career and his musical passions while hosting the Sundance Channel talk show Spectacle, National Ransom feels more comprehensive than usual. This isn't Costello's torch-song album, or his country-blues album, or his Euro-folk album; it's all those combined, with a little pinch of New Orleans and some incidental nods to new wave.
National Ransom is long—too long, really—and it falls too often into the "venerable old rocker" trap of thinking that music is better the more it sounds like it could've been recorded by Alan Lomax. But unlike Burnett's recent Grammy-bait album with Costello pals Elton John and Leon Russell, National Ransom has a remarkably high percentage of memorable songs, like the jumped-up acoustic-guitar ramble "A Slow Drag With Josephine," the pleasantly reverberating rocker "Five Small Words," the elegant love song "You Hung The Moon," the Dylan-esque lament "Bullets For The New-Born King," the grandly weepy honky-tonk ballad "That's Not The Part Of Him You're Leaving," and the off-kilter rockabilly/power-pop hybrid "The Spell That You Cast." Costello has made an album that's unfocused by design, and better because of it.

It seems as I read Jung and post-Jungian folks, there is a splintering of consensus as to whether religion/faith/spirituality is a neurosis, an immature interpretation of the ways of the Psyche, or a valid path to that same Psyche. Jung states that if an individual is following a faith with a certain intensity, then most problems of the Psyche are contained, yet he is highly suspicious of the collective consciousness, which can be interpreted as the Church or any other "organized" religion.
How do you see depth psychology relating to faith traditions?
Views: 258
Would like to hear YOUR thoughts, not so many quotes from Jung or others except as lead-in to your own thoughts, feelings, and/or experiences.
I suppose it partially depends where you live. For instance, I live in post-communistic Serbia where "Jungians" don't have any problem to be relatively dogmatic Christians. The American interpretation of the same Christianity (or more precisely Protestantism) is very ego-centric, materialistic, often very dogmatic (to the point of creationism), and conservative. Jung (and some other thinkers) has touched (but not resolved) seemingly the last resort of religion - the origin of consciousness (self-awareness) and life (Darwin in his narrowest sense was too mechanistic and deterministic). Even "worse", he has provided a context for redefining determinism in other scientific fields. This very fact makes him at the same time religious and anti-religious.
I agree that the American Christian persona presented by the media as "normal American Christianity" has been co-opted by the conservative right and the materialism of the culture (just check out the current "Prosperity Gospel" craze). Just curious: What are the predominant characteristics of Christianity in Serbia? Is the faith seen as a corrective to secular materialism or is it merely an "opium of the masses?"
As you know, Serbia was in many wars against other nations. Perhaps some of them are actually former Serbs who had accepted Catholicism and Islam, but that's another story. As the biggest nation in former Yugoslavia we didn't have much problem with national identity and were willing to accept atheism more than others. Combine that with a communist dictator who was using national myths and revival of religion and nationalism (partially a continuation of fascism from World War Two as a "response" to some events when Yugoslavia was a monarchy) and you have trouble. Especially if that president wholeheartedly accepted and used his chance to isolate the nation and push it into wars (Just a fact that he was a communist/(pseudo) Orthodox Christian was already bad enough in 1990s.). We were (and still are) more confused than we actively hated anyone. This confusion is also visible among people who spend more time than average thinking about religion and spirituality (cosmopolitans and nationalists under the same roof and sometimes within the same person). Jung isn't perceived as an antagonist to religion in any way.
Even intelligent and contemplative people sometimes have difficulties to resist collective stupidity and tend to perceive the national history as less ugly than it really is. A similar thing applies to that man on the default profile picture in this Alliance. He was a man who had his issues and whose private life was a mess. He was far from perfect (perhaps it's better this way in order to prevent idolatry), but important.
Seems like anytime a demi-god is created for whatever reasons, the "for whatever reasons" becomes the driving force of the followers, even when the individual's message may be contrary to the desires of the masses. As to cleaning up history, its the only way to keep a naive optimism going, yet such becomes the foundation of simplistic radical movements.
IF the internet is a human domain to transcend our geography - what is the domain to transcend our cultural identity?
I fully agree that the deepest Christianity has yet to be realized and I believe it relates to our approach to the image of Jesus and the understanding of the Holy Spirit. Jung was concerned that the Christian faith had denied the presence of the feminine and that in the raising of Mary, there was at least a chance that the feminine might balance out the masculine focus so prevalent in the history of Christianity.
I'm believing that depth psychology can deepen an understanding of the faith but the next move would need to be moving the focus from constantly, unconsciously repeating Jesus stories to a conscious appreciation of the Holy Spirit in everyday phenomena. Even Jesus said he had to go so that the 'third act" (my image) could take place to the fulfillment of the revelation of the numinous. (Indeed, in Greek, the Holy Spirit is feminine.) Maybe we need to move away from all the focus on literal-historical debates about Jesus and move to a more phenomenological-communal discussion related to the numinous in life. What say you?
I wrote the poem below as a response to the feminine aspect missing in christianity - or should i say over-shadowed! by the make archetype? with a gentle nod to the mythopoeaic teleos of Joseph Cambell
Bless her from the bottom of our hearts.
equal -sequel. nice couplet. not to shabby ( or as my poet friend would say, "not to wabbie" ) . some good lines. ...keep up the verse.....Jeff
I'm really glad that you brought this up, as there has always been a connection, I feel, between the study of comparative religion and depth psychology. Understanding this begins with the recognition of the truth that underlies perennial philosophy: all religions interpret the same truth in different ways appropriate to their specific situation (the parallel with archetypes is obvious). Because the same phenomena is interpreted in different ways at different times, I believe that the analytical psychology tradition is actually an expression of a quest for personal and universal knowledge that has lasted for thousands of years. Indeed, is it not ridiculous to say that Jung, great visionary that he was, was the first intelligent human being in 5000 years to realize the workings of inner life?
If we want to see how different religions teach us about the search for the Self, we first must accept what Joseph Campbell spent much of his life teaching: that myths and religion are better viewed as psychological metaphors. Myth is intimately connected with the unconscious mind, as we all know, and I think it would be fair to say that religion similarly taps into the irrational contents of our collective and personal unconscious. For instance, Taoism teaches that the universe is made of pairs of opposites that are equivalent and must be balanced...much like how Jungian analysis teaches that the Psyche is fundamentally dualistic and must be in a state of balance and integration to be healthy. The same parallels can be found in Hinduism, Buddhism, and much of tribal religious life.
Also, and I'm not going to bother trying to integrate this into a larger paragraph, I distinctly remember reading that Jung said there is a religious function in each person's unconscious...which, in my interpretation, is a circuitous way of saying that everyone believes in God (which is a poor term with bad connotations for my purposes) and therefore debating God's existence is pointless because we all believe in the unknowable whether we are conscious of it or not.
Even though religion is an excellent way to approach the unconscious mind, it has been sadly misinterpreted in the west because of the flawed evolution of the western monotheistic tradition. As a young person, I can tell you that among intelligent teenagers religion is mocked and in a less anecdotal sense sociologically most 1st world countries are becoming less interested in religion. This is because the tradition that originates with Judaism teaches the wisdom of many of its prophets incorrectly. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all teach that there is good and there is evil in the universe, and it is our duty to "fight" evil inside and outside ourselves, that there is a specific, masculine, intelligent entity called "God" who resides in a physical place called heaven, that we must never identify our sinful selves with God, and that our reward for our struggles of the material would be compensated in the next life. They also teach that a variety of supernatural phenomena literally happened: that Jesus was a man who was literally immaculately conceived, for instance. This patent nonsense, which goes against everything that our Western rationality has taught us, is proudly upheld by the various monotheistic churches, who wonder why they are losing the "war" as it were for the soul. These religions teach their followers to be profoundly psychologically unhealthy due to the rejection of the possibility of "evil" (e.g. sexual desire) inside themselves and prevent them, ironically enough, from confronting their unconscious minds. I could go on for pages, but this has already ran on quite a bit, and I've expressed these ideas rather crudely as it is.
TL;DR Western religion doesn't confront the psyche as it should, and religion can only remain relevant in the west if it undergoes a fundamental shift away from fear and repression and toward psychological balance.
Religion: Could we say that religions are formed when the inner archetypal energies "rise" through the collective unconscious to meet the social contructivism of the collective consciousness in the varying societal contexts of culture and history? In cultures that valued such inner information, a rich cultural expression of these images emerged - religion as an example. In cultures where such information was not valued, such created imagery was ignored or condemned (although condemning a thing gives it its own life in the culture). Even Jung, I believe, stated that if religions had remained "whole" and healthy, there would be no need for analytical psychology.
As to modern day versions (or perversions) of Christianity, I believe this particular religion is fragmenting under the weight of many years/generations of being co-opted by the ruling classes as a means to manipulate the masses. Yes, I do believe, with Marx, that religion as it is used and abused by those in power is the opium of the masses. A religion closer to its essentials will have to address the daily experiences of the world here-and-now rather than retreat to platitudes, dogmatics, and unexamined myths. I'm not giving up on my understanding of the gifts Christianity (indeed, any religion that has stood the test of time) has to offer much as Jung did not give up trying to rectify Christianity by spending so much time responding to its strengths, weaknesses, and archetypal images.

Type A canine: Dogs have personalities too
DRAWING BY DEBORAH DERR McCLINTOCK
Q. The personality survey had 34 items, focusing on the four traits of energy, cooperativeness, emotional sensitivity, and intelligence-plus-curiosity. Who was being surveyed?– G. Gurdjieff
A. Dogs, the aim being to look for distinctive canine personalities. Indeed, the researchers found them, concluding that certain personality traits differ as much among dogs as they do among people, University of Texas- Austin psychologist Samuel Gosling told Science News.
But how would anyone gauge this? The 78 dog owners rated their own personalities and those of their dogs, almost half of them mutts.Then each owner had a friend rate the traits of the owner and the dog, showing surprising concurrence. Finally, strangers at a park watched the owners interact with the dogs– again concurrence.
Next up for the researchers? To check if other mammals also have personalities.
Q. What's the most common test for people to take at night? And not just at night, but while they're sleeping! –S. Freud
A. The classic Examination Dream, in which the dreamer can't find the room where the test is scheduled, or sits at a desk but has trouble seeing the questions, or the pen won't write, said Dr. Theresa A. Sullivan at the 2003 University of Texas graduation.
In our society, this is among the top five dream types, generally appearing first during adolescence but striking in old age as well. Perhaps some 40 percent of college students have these dreams, but here's the good news: "Almost 100 percent of college graduates report having the dreams!" Why good news, when the dreamer often awakens in a cold sweat with heart pounding? Because real exam failers are far less likely to have had Examination Dreams than those who ultimately succeed.
Beyond the school setting, these dreams seem subtle reminders to the dreamer of having faced old challenges and come through okay, says Charlottesville psychologist Robert Van de Castle. So a looming job interview or new family responsibility may trigger such a dream. "What better metaphor could there be for how we measure up?"
And so, concluded Sullivan to her graduating audience, "while I won't wish that all your dreams come true, I can hope that all your wishes be fulfilled."
Q. As you read this, how many solar neutrinos pass through your body each second? None? A hundred? A million? A billion? –C. Kent
A. More like 400 trillion, answers Arizona State University astronomer Jeff Hester. Each of these neutrinos forms when two protons fuse together in the core of the Sun. This is the first step in the sequence of nuclear fusion reactions turning hydrogen into helium, providing the energy that has powered the Sun for 4.5 billion years and will continue to do so for the next 5 billion. Even though these neutrinos are formed in the heart of the Sun, they interact so feebly with matter that they are able to stream outward as if the rest of the Sun weren't there. They are also able to pass cleanly through Earth– and your body– without leaving a trace.
Even though extremely elusive, neutrinos can be detected if you are clever enough. Raymond Davis Jr. and Masatoshi Koshiba were awarded a share of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work with these elementary particles.
Q. How often are people born with six fingers? Is the extra finger useful or does a surgeon remove it as soon as the baby is born? –L. Kotke
A. So-called "polydactyls" may have six or more digits on either their hands or feet or both, an inherited condition, says "Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia." The extra digits vary from small pieces of soft tissue to complete fingers or toes and occur in about one in every 500 babies, more in certain populations such as the Amish, where few outsiders join the group and marriage occurs within the community. In Western society, the extra digits are usually surgically removed early in life.
Whether these are useful is unclear, but one major league pitcher from the Dominican Republic reportedly had six digits on both hands and feet– nickname: "the octopus." After the team won an important game, the manager jokingly asked him to "give me six."

| 7.4°C Belfast
Take That star Gary Barlow has teamed up with Gary Lineker as well as other past England stars to record the squad's song for this summer's World Cup.
Barlow is going from Back For Good to back-four good as he headed into the studio today to work on the as-yet-unnamed track.
Chart stars including Katy B, Mel C and Pixie Lott are among the figures who will also feature on the anthem designed to spur on England's hopes in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
A group of 12 former England players - including the likes of Sir Geoff Hurst and Michael Owen - was at Sarm Studios in West London this morning where they also worked on the video to accompany the track.
It was also the location for the recording of the B and Aid single in 1984 and the new promo will be unveiled for the first time during the TV broadcast for Sport Relief night on Friday, March 21.
The former players, who between them have played in many World Cups, also included Dion Dublin, ex-England manager Glenn Hoddle, David Seaman and Peter Shilton.
Hoddle has already had his own taste of chart success having reached number 12 in 1987 with Diamond Lights, which he released with Chris Waddle.
Gary Mabbutt, Gary Pallister, Carlton Palmer, Martin Keown and Kenny Sansom have also taken part in the recording for England's official 2014 Fifa World Cup song. Although the video will be unveiled on Sport Relief night, the single will not go on sale until nearer the start of the tournament.
At the last tournament in 2010, England did not have an official anthem although an unofficial release featuring James Corden and Dizzee Rascal called Shout managed to top the charts. The 2006 World Cup song World At Your Feet was released by Embrace and went to number three in the singles chart.
Mel C had a prominent role on an earlier England song - along with her Spice Girls colleagues - when she performed with Echo And The Bunnymen star Ian McCulloch on (How Does It Feel To Be) On Top Of The World, which was released under the name England United.
Another Spice Girl, Emma Bunton, is involved in the new song, along with Eliza Doolittle, Conor Maynard and Kimberley Walsh.
Sir Geoff featured on the 1970 England song Back Home, while Shilton has the distinction of being involved with not only that song but also the 1990 track World In Motion by Englandneworder.

« Sheila Resseger: How Testing Impacts a School for the Deaf | Main | John Thompson: Education Reform Party is Over -- What a Mess! »
We Are Chicago Students, and We Are Here to Save Our Schools!
Today many Chicago students will not be in their schools. One of them has written this, explaining the reasons why.
Guest post by Brian Sturgis.
I'm a senior at Paul Robeson high school, and I'm an organizer with Chicago Students Organizing to Save Our Schools (CSOSOS). We are led by students from across Chicago in 25 different high schools and we believe in justice and equality for all. Today over 300 Chicago students are boycotting, including 100 juniors who are boycotting the state exam, to tell Chicago Public Schools and Mayor Rahm Emanuel that we are over-tested, under-resourced and fed up!
Mayor Emanuel and his Board of Education want to close 54 grammar schools around the city, all of which are in black and Latino communities: this is racist. These schools are also being judged based on assessments and tests given throughout the year: this is foolish. These school closings will leave neighborhoods dismantled, parents lost, students unaccounted for, and more importantly, will put children in harmful situations: this is dangerous.
My alma mater, Benjamin Banneker elementary, is one of the 54 schools on the list. But Banneker built a community around the school and around me. Although I started at Banneker as a troubled inner city child, growing up in this school taught me the transition into the real world, and how to be a man. Even now, four years after receiving my 8th-grade diploma, I still routinely visit the school to show my appreciation for what they did for me and many other students in my neighborhood.
But this boycott is about more than just Banneker, and more than just me. It's about every child in every neighborhood. Mayor Emanuel and the Chicago Board of Education are supposed to make the CPS system work for all of us. But instead they are putting too much pressure on standardized testing and threatening to close schools that don't have high test scores. When schools are under so much pressure to raise test scores it leads to low-scoring students being neglected, not supported. This is what happened when 68 low-scoring juniors were demoted to sophomore status at a southwest side high school in Chicago last month, right before the state test.
We are over-tested, under-resourced, and fed up with the policies put in place by Mayor Emanuel and the Chicago Board of Education. Today, students from across the city are fighting back! CPS officials have tried to threaten and intimidate us but students and the community have been silenced for too long. We know this is an action that puts us at risk of retaliation, but it's a risk we are willing to take to make sure our voices are heard. Now is the time to fight for what is right!
We are the Chicago Students Organizing to Save Our Schools. If you are ready to fight back, then join our boycott today, Wednesday April 24th, and make history with us!
For those of you across the country sharing similar beliefs, we ask that you choose a standardized test to boycott too as we fight against this unjust and excessive testing. We would also ask that you reach out to us, so that this movement can become even bigger. The day will come when students will finally have our voices heard. School board officials will finally realize that we as students can assemble in a professional manner to accomplish a goal. And we will have the power nationwide to assemble, and fight against any injustice we are subjected to and create the school system we all deserve.
We are on Twitter at @chistudentsorg. You can follow tweets about the boycott by searching: #cpsboycott
What do you think of the Chicago student boycott? Could they be the ones to save their schools?

Well this is a fist for Free the Animal: two posts on beef liver back-to-back.
But why not? The last post still has a good amount of comment enthusiasm going for it, and I'd break it down into those who love liver and have their ways of doing it—from raw to well done—those who just can't stand it, and those in the same boat but who'd love to love liver. It's primarily that latter group that this post is for.
One thing that seems pretty clear is that many who grew up eating it—such as both my wife and I—tend to really like the distinctive taste of it. But here's one thing I found out yesterday. Someone had commented on that first post, that she loves her leftover liver cold. It made sense to me. I recall when in high school my mom decided to do a beef tongue and frankly, when it was served I didn't care for it at all, primarily on the level of texture. I think I called it "meat jello" at the time. The next day, she took some out of the fridge and sliced it up to make sandwiches and voilà, I loved it. Cold, it took on a completely different texture and as a consequence, flavor.
So yesterday around noon or so I pulled the leftovers out of the fridge and dug right in, about 6-8 ounces worth. I couldn't stop eating it down. Frankly, it was far better than Sunday night's dinner served warm. And, it had the consistency of a pâté. So I was inspired. Googled around and found this recipe from a New Zealand farmer, courtesy of Michael Allen Smith of Critical MAS. Headed off to market, got my stuff and got to work. Here's the recipe:
500g beef liver (you can substitute lamb's fry), cut into pieces
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup red wine
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
- Saute the liver and onions in a couple of tablespoons of the butter until the livers are browned and the onions are tender.
- Add wine, garlic, mustard, herbs and lemon juice and cook uncovered until most of the liquid has gone.
- Cool and blend to a smooth paste in the food processor along with the rest of the butter. (This is easier if the butter is not fridge cold!)
- Add salt to taste.
- Check the consistency of the pate. If it seems dry and crumbly rather than smooth and creamy, add more butter.
- Put pâté in a shallow dish and press the cracked pepper onto the top of it.
So here's what I did differently:
- I used 1 pound of beef liver (close to the 500g called for) and 1/2 pound of chicken liver.
- Upped the amount of red wine proportionally and doubled the lemon juice (an entire lemon).
- Added 1/2 cup of tart fresh cranberries.
- Added 2 crimini mushrooms (sautéed with the liver & onions).
- Added a small can of chopped black olives (added about half way through the sauté)
- As a first step, chopped up two thick strips of bacon, fried it, removed the bits, then added 2 tablespoons of butter to the bacon fat for the sauté. Reintroduced the bacon bits at the end, for the cool-down phase.
- Used a bit more Kerrygold butter (2 tbsp for the cooking and about 9 for the mixing).
- Didn't have fresh herbs, so I used 1/2 tsp each for the rosemary and thyme.
Click for the hi-res. This was breakfast this morning. Looks to be about 4 ounces, so it's the rough equivalent of 5 pounds of fruit in terms of nutrition.
Beef and Chicken Liver Pâté
As you can see, I prefer to use the freshly cracked black pepper at the time of serving rather than coat the top while in the serving or storage dish.
How was it? Marvelous. I really enjoy the slight tartness from the lemon and cranberries. The butter made the consistency when chilled absolutely perfect and spreadable.
I would love to see people eating more animal livers of all sorts. The nutritional density is unparalleled. And hey, there's various ways to get it if you don't like it fried up. …And various pâté preparations or "wurst" are the way to go. Many are available in stores, artisan markets or online if you search around (see this liverwurst from US Wellness Meats), but making your own offers you the opportunity to experiment until you get it to where you love it. For instance, how about doubling up on the fruit? Cherries or blueberries would be good options, too. Or, more herbs & spices, and of various sorts. Sky's the limit.
And here's why. …Now, not to go all woo on you, but Sunday I was suffering horribly from that cold and decided to get high nutrition via that liver dinner. I woke up Monday just fine and have been fine since. Maybe the high doses of vitamin D I was taking finally caught up, maybe it was both, or maybe it was only a 2 1/2-day cold—but colds usually last for about a week. Oh, well, who knows for sure? The other things I've noted are an intense sense of well being and total satiation after eating liver. Monday, for example, I wasn't hungry to eat anything until the early afternoon. And after that cold liver breakfast at noon yesterday, I simply wasn't hungry for much dinner at all and could have easily skipped.
Could it be that appetite regulation and satiation are highly influenced by the nutritional density of food? Everyone focusses on blood sugar, insulin and leptin. But doesn't it make sense that if your body is well fed with all the nutrients you ought to be getting—in important quantities in Whole Real Foods rather than a bunch of pills—that you're really addressing the fundamental foundation of appetite, hunger, cravings and satiation? What's the potential that hormonal dysregulation, leading to dysregulatioin in normal appetite and hunger is more of a downstream effect of what could perhaps be described as "sub-clinical malnutrition"?
And to take it a step further, if you're properly nourished rather than malnourished (even on an otherwise paleo diet), how might that effect body composition over time? Speculating, but if one was completely tanked up to the fill line on every nutrient the body needs and wants, might it be more willing to give up the fat stores?
What say you?
