With the last episode of BBC spy-drama Spooks gracing our screens for the final time a few weeks ago, the remake of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy receiving critical acclaim upon its release, and the fifth anniversary of Alexander Litvinenko's death, it seems more appropriate than ever to complement these two London-based spy stories with our own guide to the top spy sites in the capital.
London has a rich history in espionage and the very nature of this secretive work means that it can often happen right under your nose…
View Londonist Top Ten Spy Sites on a Google map
Barnard Road, Clapham Junction:
Where do MI5 go to fix their cars? Unsurprisingly, they don't just take them to the nearest KwikFit, they have a specialised team of mechanics who service them, 'supe' them up and add surveillance kit etc. Up until the 1970s, there was an MI5 garage doing such work in a road just off St. John's Road in Clapham Junction, just behind where Marks and Spencer is today. This location did not stay a closely guarded secret, however. Surveillance teams discovered that the premises were being monitored by Russian KGB spies. MI5 decided to up sticks and moved their garage to Streatham High Street – before that was also discovered. It is now located 'somewhere in West London'.
Chancery Lane Deep Level Shelter:
An unassuming fire escape on a central London street is the unlikely setting for a location that played a key part in resolving the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Rewind a few decades to the Second World War, when a set of tunnels were constructed near Chancery Lane as air raid shelters for up to 8,000 people. The tunnels, which are over 100 feet deep, were never used as shelters, but were taken over by the "Inter Services Research Bureau" branch of MI6. The warren-like network of tunnels was used as a telecommunications hub and employed in the transmission of messages between Kennedy and Khrushchev at the height of the missile crisis. The tunnels have since been decommissioned and are available to buy for around £5m.
The entrance to the tunnels, found on Furnival Street off High Holborn, is marked by nothing more than a non-descript fire exit. However, a heavy-duty hoist and ventilation shaft above give the game away for those in the know.
Interestingly, the sign on the CCTV camera at the top of Furnival Street indicates that footage is recorded "for the purposes of… national security" – a sure giveaway that something fishy was going on here!
Thames House, Millbank:
Thames House is the current HQ of MI5 – the UK's national security intelligence agency. Found on Millbank at the end of Lambeth Bridge, Thames House was once occupied by many tenants – including chemical company ICI. It consisted of two separate buildings, linked by an archway which was filled in at a later date. Originally built on the site of slums decimated by the 1928 Thames flood, the property was purchased by the government in the late 1980s to consolidate several office locations for the security service. After an extensive refurbishment and some structural changes, the Grade II listed building was eventually opened by then Prime Minister John Major in 1992.
Interestingly, the building used for the exterior of Thames house in Spooks is actually Freemason's hall, which can be found on Great Queen Street in Covent Garden.
(For those wondering about the difference between MI5 and MI6, the latter's website explains: MI6 detects and disrupts terrorist threats to the UK and its interests overseas whilst MI5 works to disrupt these threats in the UK.)
85 Vauxhall Cross:
Apparently nicknamed 'Legoland' by some working within its walls, 85 Vauxhall Cross houses the HQ of the Secret Intelligence Service, commonly referred to as MI6. The building was designed by Terry Farrell, the chap who designed Charring Cross station as well as the Newcastle Quayside. Costing £152.6m (£135.05m for the land and construction and a further £17.55m for 'special requirements' including bomb blast resistance and (rumour has it) a tunnel to Whitehall) the building was opened by the Queen in 1994. In September 2000, the resistance to bombs came in quite handy when an anti-tank rocket fired by the Real IRA struck and eighth floor window causing only superficial damage. MI6 were previously based near Lambeth North station.
Waterloo Bridge:
In 1969, Georgi Markov defected from his native Bulgaria to London, getting a job as a journalist on the BBC's World Service, which gave him an opportunity to broadcast his views on his homeland. It's fair to say that his musings did not go down too well in the east and the decision was taken to permanently shut him up. On 7 September 1978, Markov was standing at a bus stop on Waterloo Bridge waiting for his ride to work when a stranger bumped in to him and dropped his umbrella. The stranger then mumbled an apology in a foreign accent before jumping in a cab – vanishing in to the capital's traffic. Markov felt a stinging pain in his thigh but thought nothing more of it. It later transpired that, during the incident, Markov had been shot with a pellet containing the deadly poison ricin, probably fired from an umbrella gun. Ricin has no known antidote and Markov was dead within four days.
'The Circus' (Blythe House), Kensington:
Tipped for several Oscars, the film adaptation of John le Carré's novel Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy centred on 'The Circus', the headquarters of MI6 in Cambridge Circus, central London. Despite actually being a fictional HQ (MI6 have never been based here to the public knowledge), the ornate structure of the building and the iconic nature of the novel/film has prompted its inclusion in this top ten.
Le Carré (originally born David Cornwell) worked for both MI5 and MI6 and penned several novels based on his experiences in the services. In the film, our hero and retired deputy head of MI6, George Smiley (played by Gary Oldman), is enlisted to find a mole at the very top of the Circus who is feeding information to the KGB. The plot is loosely based on the case of the Cambridge Five scandal in the 1950s and 60s.
Blythe House in Blythe Road near Kensington Olympia played the role of the Circus in the film adaptation, which also stars Oscar winner Colin Firth. Originally the site of the Post Office Savings Bank and now a storage unit for the Science Museum, the V&A, the British Museum and the Wellcome Trust, the ornate redbrick Victorian architecture and iron turnstiles provided the perfect impression of a Cold War period intelligence installation that was required for location filming.
Brompton Oratory, Kensington:
At the height of the Cold War there were hundreds of Russian spies operating in London. The bustling capital was ideal for agents to 'bump' in to one another, seamlessly transferring packages in the blink of an eye.
Another method of transferring intelligence was the rather sinister sounding (but not really that sinister at all) dead letter drop – or DLD to those in the know. One favoured location for DLDs was Brompton Oratory, an Italian Renaissance-style Catholic church situated next to the V&A on Brompton Road. Spies would visit the church and place documents and/or microfilm behind one of the pillars near a statue, ready to be picked up by their KGB handlers. The location was ideal with its narrow winding lanes leading off Brompton Road and proximity to the Russian Embassy. If Russian spies felt they were being followed, they would enter the Harrods store down the road, which has many exits and flights of stairs, and is perfect for losing a tail.
Millennium Hotel, Grosvenor Square:
Alexander Litvinenko was a former KGB and FSB officer who found political asylum in the UK. Litvinenko had previously alleged that the Russian secret service was behind bomb attacks on apartment buildings which helped legitimise the war against Chechnya (and subsequently helped Putin to the Russian Presidency). His accusations did not go down well.
On 1 November 2006, Litvinenko met fellow ex-FSB man Andrei Lugovoi and Italian 'nuclear waste disposal' expert Mario Scaramanga in Millennium Hotel in Grosvenor Square, where he enjoyed a pot of Green tea. Little did he know, his tea had been deliberately contaminated with radionuclide polonium-210. Litvinenko became ill and later died in University College Hospital, 26 days later. When detectives investigated, a trail began to form across London with traces of polonium found in several locations including the Emirates Stadium and the Itsu Sushi restaurant in Piccadilly. Police suspected Lugovoi to be the assassin as radioactive traces seemed to follow him around, both before and after the poisoning took place.
Lugovoi returned to Russia shortly after the incident and in his absence was charged with murder. An extradition request was sent to Russia, which was subsequently refused. Lugovoi is now an MP in the State Duma and is therefore immune from prosecution under Russian law.
296-302 Borough High Street:
Where do spies learn the tricks of the trade? At spy school of course. Up until the 1990s, such an establishment stood opposite Southwark police station on Borough High Street in an MOD building. Called a 'non-field training headquarters' rather than a spy school, it would teach spies techniques that they would use in their work. One poster on a forum sums up the role of the building: "Essentially, James Bond would have been trained to kill in Gosport, Hampshire and then would have been taught what forms to complete, when he had killed someone, at Borough".
Café Daquise:
As well as being London's first polish restaurant and the unofficial headquarters of Edward Raczynski, the Polish President-in-Exile from 1979-86, Café Daquise was also a busy place for spies to meet, due to its location near the Russian embassy and dead letter drops like Brompton Oratory (see above). One rendezvous that regularly took place here was that between Christine Keeler, the call girl at the centre of the Profumo affair, and her handler/lover, Yevgeny Ivanov, a senior naval attaché at the Russian Embassy.
It was alleged that Keeler was extracting information from Profumo, who was then Secretary of State for War, to pass on to the Russians during the height of the Cold War. The affair caused Profumo to resign, with then PM Harold MacMillan also jumping ship a month later due to 'bad health', reportedly contributed to by the events surrounding his Minister.
Keeler also found fame posing in Lewis Morley's iconic photo, sat naked and astride a chair – a shot that has been replicated many times with other photographers and celebrities. The photo was also used on the front cover of the Charlatans classic album 'Tellin' Stories'.
At one point, it seemed that Café Daquise might be lost forever when a £110m scheme designed by architect Terry Farrell (who, as the more observant of you will remember from above, designed the MI6 building in Vauxhall) would have involved demolishing the whole block behind South Kensington Tube station. The scheme did not go ahead, however, and the café remains there today.

Each year, students from all disciplines are chosen by their professors as recipients of a number of awards based on exemplary and outstanding academic merit and achievement. An awards ceremony is held in their honor, at the closing of the annual Student Research Day.
Arts Day is an annual Fall event held to celebrate the cross-curricular integration, practice and study of the arts within our broad liberal arts curriculum. We have dedicated the day to recognize, in part, how the arts are tied to the disciplines taught at Wilson College, and why it is important to appreciate these connections.
To see a schedule of events for the day and other information click here.
Wilson College will hold the 145th Commencement Ceremony on Sunday, May 17, 2015.
To see a schedule of events for the weekend, as well as other important information, click here.
Convocation, from the Latin convocare, can be translated as a "calling together", and defined as a "ceremonial assembly of members of a college or university".
Wilson College has a long-standing tradition of calling together her members twice a year, at the beginning of each semester. Held in the Alumnae Chapel, Thomson Hall, faculty, students, staff and adminstrators are all called to participate in this important academic event. More information >>
At the end of each semester, a list is compiled of those students who are recognized by the Dean for their outstanding academic achievement. During the following semester, the Dean invites these students to enjoy a special reception held especially in their honor.
For more information about the criteria and policy, as well as the most recent Dean's Lists, click here.
This year's Orr Forum - Humanity 2:0? - will have a new format. Instead of featuring a main event in the spring, the Orr Forum will offer multiple events throughout the academic year. It will feature Wilson faculty members and guests, offering portraits or glimpses of humanity in light of the claim that humans are evolving, with the aid of technology, into a new form of humanity.

A glowing sky in the southeast*corner of the village lighted the way for the firemen on a long run to 339 South Main Street. The blaze started in the one story resi¬ dence of Wm. Harvey Smith, and when the firemen reached their destination this building was nearly burned down and the two-story "sail-loft" of Hiram R. Smith, occupied by Walter R. Smith and Geo. O. Baker was well on fire. By hard work this building was prevented from burning down, after the roof was destroyed. The cause of the fire is a mystery as Harvey left home at noon, and returned at midnight to be driven out by the smoke, after destroying his overcoat in a vain en¬ deavor to put out the fire he found burning. He avers he left no fire of any kind in the building. The loss will he about $800. There was in¬ surance only on the sail loft building.

The Village Board of 1904 advertised for bids for maji, etc, and on July 29th., 1904 the contract vvas awarded W. Darling of Amityville, N. Y., who was the lowest liiilder in the amount of $400 and vvho was given one year in which to complete the contract. He later re(iuested more lime which was granted. After numerous requests by the Village Board of Mr. Darling to complete the maji, it was jilaced in the hands of Counsellor Leo P'ishel, who found that .Mr. Darling would not jiro¬ ceed with the contract, and it was then taken out of his hands, all of which caused considerable delay, and later given to Mr. Alvin G. Smith, of Free- port, N. Y., who now has the map complete and is numbering the houses. The street signs have been jiut up, and I believe that the certain pieces of sidewalk that were objectionable at the time the insjiector was making the inspection have been jiut in good condi¬ tion. As soon as the numbering is finished I will again make application to the Post Office Department for another inspection. Very respectfully. Robert G. Ander.son. P. M.

Enchanted Mermaid™ Barbie® Doll
In this fantastical interpretation of a mermaid, Barbie® wears a glamorous silvery white costume. Her sheer bodice is delicately detailed in sequins and faux pearls with "starfish" accents and flares into an intricately beaded tail of sequins, beads, and pearls. Barbie® doll's long flowing strawberry blond hair cascades in ringlets to the floor, and is topped by a tentacle-like white crown decorated with faux pearls and silver beads.
Doll cannot swim.
Production doll may vary from the photo shown above. Mattel reserves the right to modify the fashion/fabrics, sculpt, hair color/style, and accessories. Doll cannot stand alone as shown.

Someone saw that fight?
It was really horrible. In each round it was the same thing, Povetkin rushed to land something (unsuccesfully) and Klistchko immediately hugged him and it was like that the whole fight.
I understand that Wlad did that to mentally break Povetkin. It worked wonderful in the 7th round, where Povetkin was already gassed and Wlad was landing tons of shots, but for the rest of the fight it was really boring to watch.
Wlad obviously landed much more and won in a very easy way. I expected a much tougher fight for him.
BTW the ref was very bad, some of those knockdowns were not knockdowns at all. And it took him too much to finally deduct a point form Wlad for constantly hugging Povetkin.
Anyone else found kinda funny the knockdown in the second round? Wlad barely touched him and a couple of seconds later Povetkin went donw.

HURLBURT FIELD — Construction of the base's first installment of privatized housing will not disrupt any salt marshes or wetlands running along Santa Rosa Sound, officials say.
Construction is set to begin in June on 63 single-family homes for senior-ranking enlisted people living at Hurlburt Field. The development will be built on about 20 acres south of U.S. Highway 98 where the base's family campground now is located.
The development will run along 4.3 acres of salt marshes, a nature trail and an archeological site on the shoreline, but officials say construction will not affect those areas.
"We have setbacks we have to maintain, buffer zones, and those are all built into the designs of any new development," said Kristal Walsh, Hulburt's manager of natural and cultural resources.
She said the salt marshes are home to wildlife such as bald eagles and osprey, and that the habitat will not be disrupted during or after construction in accordance with state and federal laws.
Some modifications to the northern loop of the nature trail may be required, but none of the activities held along the trail will change, she said.
The project is part of a 10-year effort to replace base housing that was built in 1958. More than 400 new homes will be built at three locations by the time it is complete, including those at the family camping site, Pine Shadows and Soundside Manor.
Picerne Military Housing will build and maintain the privatized homes.
The project where the camp is located will be the first to break ground, said Roger Robinson, Hurlburt's capital assets manager.
Robinson said the development not only will update and modernize Hurlburt's housing, but will help ease overcrowding as personnel continue to increase on a base that has no room to expand.
"We can't grow geographically, but we are constantly growing people-wise," Robinson said.
The family camp location was chosen because of its size and central location within the base's boundaries, he said.
"It's an extremely nice location for housing to be built," Robinson said. "It sits behind the fence. It's perfect for what we need in size, and I didn't have another 10 to 15 acres I could pull from anywhere else."
The family camp has been in its current location for more than 30 years, Robinson said. It is primarily used by military retirees for RV camping and generates some money for the base through fees.
The camp will be moved to a site on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Crews already are clearing the property, and the new camp should be ready to open by the time construction begins on the new homes, Robinson said.
At about 9.5 acres, the new camp will be approximately the same size as the existing site. However, there will be some changes, he said.
The new location will have 19 fewer RV sites and tent camping will be eliminated. The site also does not have the same old-growth trees and there is no access to Santa Rosa Sound.
"You won't be able to go 30 feet and jump in the water," Robinson said. "That's the only drawback."
Plans for the new housing went through several public hearings and were subject to state and federal laws, including environmental protection, Walsh said.
Developers will be required to mark the setback boundaries — 50 feet from cultural sites and 25 feet from environmental areas — before they begin construction.
"We make sure everything is in place so nothing damages anything that's not supposed to be," Walsh said.
The salt marshes, which were built in the early 2000s as part of a mitigation effort, will not be at risk, Robinson said.
"Hurlburt's the one that built those salt marshes, so we're sure as heck not going to let them down," he said.

Fire Extinguisher Training a Top Priority for Chemistry Department
The four-day TA training event was organized by chemistry faculty and lab coordinators Christy Bagwill (M.S.R.), Daria Sokic-Lazic (M.S.R) and Jennifer Monahan (Ph.D.).
|Chemistry department teaching assistants get some tips on fire extinguisher safety.
The St. Louis Fire Department and SLU's emergency preparedness coordinator, Connie Tillman, teamed up to make the fire extinguisher experience possible. The session included information about fire safety and how to properly operate and aim an extinguisher.
SLU's chemistry department teaching assistants participate in the annual training event as preparation for the upcoming academic year. This fall, more than 30 graduate and undergraduate laboratory assistants participated in sessions focused on chemistry procedures, teaching techniques, laboratory safety, and emergency protocols. The goal of the training is to ensure that the laboratory assistants perform their duties at the highest level possible.
Enrollment in SLU chemistry classes has increased in recent years and Dr. Monahan feels that the four-day training session is a crucial component of successful laboratory courses.
"The chemistry department strives to provide our assistants with the necessary tools to serve as quality mentors and educators, while continually enforcing safe practices in the laboratory environment," Monahan said.
Lab coordinator Christy Bagwill said that when teaching in a laboratory setting, it is important to remember that safety is first but accidents can happen.
"During training, we place our teaching assistants in emergency scenario," Bagwill said. "As a team they work to efficiently and professionally respond to each situation. The goal is to give our TAs the tools to respond properly in high stress situations."
Over 1,300 SLU students enroll in chemistry labs annually. This year the chemistry department plans to offer 11 different laboratory courses which include more than 100 individual lab sections. Students enrolled in these courses range from freshman to seniors and include majors from the sciences, liberal arts, nursing and health sciences, and pre-professional health studies. The chemistry coordinators have designed a four-day training module for their teaching, preparatory and grading assistants to prepare them for teaching during the 2011-2012 academic year.

P. sativum is an annual plant, with a life cycle of one year. It is a cool season crop grown in many parts of the world; planting can take place from winter through to early summer depending on location. The average pea weighs between 0.1 and 0.36 grams. The species is used as a fresh vegetable, frozen or canned, but is also grown to produce dry peas like the split pea. These varieties are typically called field peas.
P. sativum has been cultivated for thousands of years. The sites of cultivation have been described in southern Syria and southeastern Turkey, and some argue that the cultivation of peas with wheat and barley seems to be associated with the spread of Neolithic agriculture into Europe.
The pea is a green, pod-shaped fruit, widely grown as a cool-season vegetable crop. The seeds may be planted as soon as the soil temperature reaches 10°C, with the plants growing best at temperatures of 55" to 65"F (13-18°C). They do not thrive in the summer heat of warmer temperate and lowland tropical climates but do grow well in cooler high altitude tropical areas. Many cultivars reach maturity about 60 days after planting. Generally, peas are to be grown outdoors during the winter, not in greenhouses. Peas grow best in slightly acidic, well-drained soils.
Peas have both low-growing and vining cultivars. The vining cultivars grow thin tendrils from leaves that coil around any available support and can climb to be 1-2 m high. A traditional approach to supporting climbing peas is to thrust branches pruned from trees or other woody plants upright into the soil, providing a lattice for the peas to climb. Branches used in this fashion are called pea brush. Metal fences, twine, or netting supported by a frame are used for the same purpose. In dense plantings, peas give each other some measure of mutual support. Pea plants do not need pollination from other plants as they have special properties that allow them to pollinate themselves and make more genetic copies. This is the reason Gregor Mendel experimented on these fascinating plants.
Both of these are eaten whole before the pod reaches maturity. The snow pea (often erroneously called "mange tout") pod is eaten flat. In sugar snap peas, the pod becomes cylindrical but is eaten before the seeds inside develop while the pod is still crisp, hence the 'snap' term used.
Peas have been used for culinary purposes since the Indus Valley Civilization. In early times peas were grown mostly for their dry seeds. In modern times however peas are usually boiled or steamed which breaks down the cell walls and makes the taste sweeter and the nutrients more bio-available. Along with broad beans and lentils, these formed an important part of the diet of most people in Europe during the Middle Ages (Bianchini 1975 p 40). By the 1600s and 1700s it had became popular to eat peas "green", that is, while they are immature and right after they are picked. This was especially true in France and England, where the eating of green peas was said to be "both a fashion and a madness" (OSU 2006). New cultivars of peas were developed by the English during this time which became known as garden peas and English peas. The popularity of green peas spread to North America. Thomas Jefferson grew more than 30 cultivars of peas on his estate (Kafka 2005 p 297). With the invention of canning and freezing of foods, green peas became available year-round, and not just in the spring as before.
Fresh peas are often eaten boiled and flavored with butter and/or spearmint as a side dish vegetable. Salt and pepper are also commonly added to peas when served. Fresh peas are also used in pot pies, salads and casseroles. Pod peas (particularly sweet cultivars called mange tout and sugar peas, or the flatter "snow peas," called hé lán dòu, 荷兰豆 in Chinese) are used in stir-fried dishes, particularly those in American Chinese cuisine. Pea pods do not keep well once picked, and if not used quickly are best preserved by drying, canning or freezing within a few hours of harvest.
In India, fresh peas are used in various dishes such as aloo matar (curried potatoes with peas) or matar paneer (paneer cheese with peas), though they can be substituted with frozen peas as well. Peas are also eaten raw as they are sweet when fresh off the bush.
Dried peas are often made into a soup or simply eaten on their own. In Japan, China, Taiwan and some South-east Asian countries, including Thailand and Malaysia, the peas are roasted and salted, and eaten as snacks. In the UK, dried yellow split peas are used to make pease pudding (or "pease porridge"), a traditional dish. In North America a similarly traditional dish is split pea soup.
Ärtsoppa is a traditional Scandinavian food which predates the Viking era. This food was made from a fast-growing pea that would mature in a short growing season. Ärtsoppa was especially popular among the many poor who traditionally only had one pot and everything was cooked together for a dinner using a tripod to hold the pot over the fire. When pork was available it was known as Ärtsoppa och fläsk and this tradition has continued to the present day. After the Christian conversion this soup was served on Thursday evening because Friday was a fasting day.
In Chinese cuisine, pea sprouts (豆苗; dòu miáo) are commonly used in stir-fries and its price is relatively high due to its agreeable taste. Pea leaves are often considered a delicacy as well.
In Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, and other parts of the Mediterranean, peas are made into a stew with meat and potatoes. In Greek this stew is called arakas, whilst in Cyprus and Turkey it is called mpizeli or mpizelia.
In the United Kingdom, dried, rehydrated and mashed marrowfat peas, known by the public as mushy peas, are popular, originally in the north of England but now ubiquitously, and especially as an accompaniment to fish and chips or meat pies, particularly in fish and chip shops. Sodium bicarbonate is sometimes added to soften the peas. In 2005, a poll of 2,000 people revealed the pea to be Britain's 7th favorite culinary vegetable. Processed peas are mature peas which have been dried, soaked and then heat treated (processed) to prevent spoilage — in the same manner as pasteurising.
Cooked peas are sometimes sold dried and coated with wasabi as a spicy snack.
Some forms of etiquette require that peas be only eaten with a fork and not pushed onto the fork with a knife
In the mid-1800s, Gregor Mendel's observations of pea pods led to the principles of Mendelian genetics, the foundation of modern genetics.
The name marrowfat pea for mature dried peas is recorded by the OED as early as 1733. The fact that an export cultivar popular in Japan is called Maro has led some people to assume mistakenly that the English name marrowfat is derived from Japanese.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Disaster workers from several American Red Cross chapters in Iowa have been dispatched to Illinois following Sunday's tornado outbreak.
Red Cross leaders on the ground in Illinois have requested all Iowa Region emergency response vehicles to arrive in Illinois as soon as possible.
The Quad Cities chapter has deployed six volunteers to central Illinois to assist with damage assessment and tornado victims.
A Red Cross spokesperson in Des Moines said ten disaster workers, both staff and volunteers, have either left for central Illinois or will soon from central and eastern Iowa.
Two volunteers from Lisbon will make their first deployment serving meals and carrying supplies in a Red Cross Emergency Response Vehicle.
Ken and Ann Opatz are both retired and have volunteers for about two years. They've worked local disaster response including flooding last spring. But this is their first trip that will include 10 to 14 days on the road instead of returning home each night.
Because this is new to both, they can only speculate about what they'll see. "We're excited, it's our first time, so we're real excited about going to help people. It's the reason we joined," Ken Opatz said.
The eastern Iowa contingent will also include Peter Teahen who is a veteran of 45 major disasters both in the U.S. and around the world since the late 1980's. He will become part of the Red Cross management team based in Peoria and handle public affairs and media information.
Teahen said considering the news recently, he was almost expecting to get the call to go to the Philippines. But instead of 20 hours on a plane, it's three hours in a car to Peoria.
Excluding the 2008 flooding in Iowa, this is the closest major disaster Teahen has ever worked. "It's nice to be able to be close, it's nice to be able to help neighbors but it is doing the same mission no matter where we are in the country," Teahen said.
The Salvation Army also has teams dispatched to the region to assist with disaster recovery efforts. However, a Cedar Rapids army spokesperson said local volunteers here probably won't be called until later in the week.
Most of the injuries in Illinois were reported in the Tazewell County community of Washington, where about 120 people were hurt. Some of the injuries were severe.
The storm killed three people near Brookport in southern Illinois and two others in New Minden. A sixth person died in Washington. Two people died in Michigan from storm-related injuries.

Comments about Magnetic Job Labels:
I don't know about you, but I have always been a fan of classroom jobs. Giving students responsibility for making the classroom a community really instills a greater sense of pride.This set includes 10 magnetic labels that you can use on any magnetic surface. You can either place them on a white board and write student names next to them, or use wet or dry erase markers right on top of the labels (check in a small place on the label first). The super large labels, which will easily be seen even by students in the back row!They will work great for creating an organized classroom! *I reviewed this product on my blog, The Organized Classroom Blog on 1/31/13.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I thought you might wanna see this:
BTW, for those of you who have recently started reading this blog and want to catch up with the Jake B/Duncan Roy 'relationship' fiasco….
Here is a quick recap:
I was a patient on Dr. Drew's Sex Rehab which aired on VH1. I admitted that I found straight men desirable and re-traumatized myself with straight cock.
After the show aired I had many straight men contact me with a view to having sex with them.
They were rebuffed.
Jake contacted me via Facebook, he presented himself as straight. He lived with his girlfriend of 7.5 years. He told me he was a literary agent, interested in publishing my blog (he wasn't the only one) we met and became friends and I agreed that he rep me.
After getting to know each other and working together Jake then revealed that he was gay. Not straight or bi but full on gay. He sent me pictures of his penis and ass. He told me that he loved me. I was confused and greatly attracted. I was flattered.
I lived in LA…he lived in NYC. He skyped a great deal.
I genuinely thought that he would leave his girlfriend for me. That's what he said. I made it PERFECTLY CLEAR that I wanted nothing to do with him if he did not tell his girlfriend Jessie the truth…in fact, I forced him to tell her that he was gay.
He was petrified that I would out him.
He finally told her the truth. She, quite rightly, threw him out of their house.
He then started a sexual odyssey that did not include me…even though he called every day and accepted an expensive vacation to the South of France.
So, whoever it is (we can guess) that continues to send anonymous notes insinuating that I am somehow responsible for the Jake situation…go fuck yourself. Jake is fully responsible for not just ruining his ex girlfriends life by lying to her for the past 7.5 years but also busting his way into mine.
I insisted that he tell the truth.
I could just dump our entire email correspondence on here if you are interested in the chronology?

Exactitudes at the Tate Modern
Wednesday, 24th Apr 2013
Photographer Ari Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek will visit the Hyperlink Festival at London's Tate Modern this weekend, hosting two workshops alongside an open casting call to be a part of the duo's latest piece of work. Working as 'The Exactitudes' since 1994, Ari and Ellie have long been inspired by the dress codes adopted by various social groups, adopting an almost scientific approach to their archiving of street fashions.
The creative partners are one of the contributors to our 60 Year Anniversary Gallery, creating a unique customisation of our iconic Fred Perry shirt with multiple embroidered Laurel Wreaths on the chest. Join the duo at the Tate Modern this Saturday, to learn about their techniques and see a live portrait session with members of the public.
The Exactitudes photography workshops will take place this Sunday 28th April at the Clore Studio, Tate Modern, London. Find out more about the three day Hyperlink Festival here.
