Debugging REST Web Services
Learning how to figure out why things are going wrong is one of the key aspects of developing software. We call it debugging. While dealing with REST services and clients, things can go wrong and it would help a great deal to know how to find out what is causing the problems.
In this article by Samisa Abeysinghe, we will look into the techniques such as message capturing and analyzing to get to know if things are going fine, and if not, what sort of problems are causing trouble.Read Debugging REST Web Services in full

Creating a matrix report using the Analysis Services Cube
The Analysis Services can also be configured when the SQL Server 2008 is installed. Out of the box the analysis server has no objects and you need to deploy a database to work with this service. Two previous articles described the process of creating a CUBE from scratch using the TestNorthwind database, a copy of the Northwind database. In this article by Dr. Jayaram Krishnaswamy, we will be authoring a report based on an analysis services CUBE.Read Creating a matrix report using the Analysis Services Cube in full
jQuery UI Accordion Widget - Part 1
The accordion widget is another UI widget made up of a series of containers for your content, all of which are closed except for one. Therefore, most of its content is initially hidden from view. Each container has a heading element associated with it, which is used to open the container and display the content. When you click on a heading, its content is displayed. When you click on another heading, the currently visible content is hidden while the new content is shown.
It should be noted that the height of the accordion's container element will automatically be set so that there is room to show the tallest content panel in addition to the headers. This will vary, of course, depending on the width that you set on the widget's container.
In this article by Dan Wellman, we are going to cover the following topics:
- The structure of an accordion widget
- A default implementation of an accordion
- Adding custom styling
- The configurable properties
- Built-in methods for working with the accordion

Rosemary (Joubert) Bump '60 and Forrest Bump '42
The most significant result of my having matriculated at Pacific university is that of having met and married the woman who became, and still is, my wife: Rosemary Joubert. She is my first and only love; my first and only wife.
I was too shy. Rosie flirted with me, teasing me because she thought my name was funny. That's how we got acquainted. Rosie had a music scholarship to Pacific. She lived in a dorm, and I was courting her. They had strict hours. Males couldn't enter the dorm after 10 p.m. I would go downtown and buy her a hamburger late at night, then put it into a paper bag. Rosie would let down a string from her window, I'd tie on the hamburger bag, and send it back up to her. That was our courtship dance.
Rosie's father designed hydro-electric dams and when he was finished at Bonneville, he and the family moved to Dallas Texas where he worked on the Red River dam. Rosemary went too.
I went to Louisville Kentucky to go to medical school, but I kept in touch, and rode the train down to visit her a couple times. She was dating someone I like to refer to as "that stupid cowboy" - although Rosie might not agree with that! Anyway, she was dating the stupid cowboy and I was on fire with jealousy, so I put the pressure on her to marry me. So she ended up with a funny name too!
We've been married 60 years. Not all of it has been easy, but I wouldn't have missed a minute of it for anything in the world. I am as much, or more, in love with her today as the day we married.

Have a nice day
"Have a nice day." When an employee says this to me, I smile and say, "Thank you," and wish them the same.
This employee has probably been on his or her feet all day, working for minimum wage and can still manage a smile.
Mr. Welch (Nov. 18 letter) should check his own facial muscles, get rid of the frown and the nose that appears to be stuck-up.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Exclusion a disservice
The combined choirs, soloists and orchestra, under the leadership of conductor Jeffrey Cobb, provided the audience with an unforgettable experience (Nov. 11) at the First Congregational Church, Traverse City. "The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace" was a powerful testimony to the horrors of war and the need for peace in a troubled world.
The censoring of the second movement by the leadership of the First Congregational Church was both inappropriate and a violation of artistic freedom.
A church has the right to control content "from the pulpit," but the church leadership had no right to censor part of a composition performed at a public concert series.
The two-minute "Morning Prayer" from the second movement of the "Armed Man" played a small, but important, role in the artistic fabric of the entire work.
The exclusion of this movement was a disservice to the composer, the performers and the audience.
Ringing in my ears is the resounding call for peace and justice heard in the text of the last movement of the Mass.
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand.

The Ada News
Shawnee —
A former Oklahoma school teacher who pleaded no contest to child pornography and exploitation charges changed her plea to guilty Friday and agreed to accept a 45-year prison sentence.
Former third-grade teacher Kimberly Crain, 50, pleaded guilty midway through a sentencing hearing in which she could have been sentenced to life in prison on multiple counts of sexual exploitation of a child under 12 and possession of juvenile pornography, plus separate counts of conspiracy to commit sexual exploitation and lewd molestation.
Crain tearfully apologized to members of her family, friends and the parents and other family members of more than a dozen former students. She was accused of taking sexually explicit photos of young female students in her classroom in McLoud, 30 miles east of Oklahoma City, and sharing them with retired early childhood development professor Gary Doby of Bloomsburg, Pa., who pleaded guilty to child exploitation charges in January and was sentenced to life in prison.
"Standing before you today is the most humbling experience I have ever had," Crain said inside the crowded Pottawatomie County courtroom.
Wearing an orange jail-issued jumpsuit and shackled at the wrists and ankles, Crain's words were hard to understand at times as she wept. She said she felt "intense remorse" for her actions and acknowledged she "made mistakes."
"To my mom and dad, I want to say I'm sorry," she said, occasionally wiping tears from her eyes with a tissue. "I'm sorry I had to go and disappoint you like this."
Crain said her actions destroyed the respect she had earned from students, parents and faculty and staff at McLoud Public Schools.
"I regret my actions," she said, looking toward her former students' families. "Please accept my heartfelt apologies."
District Judge John Canavan Jr. said he hoped resolution of the emotional case would help bring closure to family members of the young victims. "There's no way the judicial system can make everyone whole again," Canavan said.
Earlier, the judge accepted Crain's guilty pleas to 31 felony counts, including 18 counts of sexual exploitation that will require her to serve 85 percent of her 45-year sentence, or 37 years and three months, before she is eligible for parole.
"You will be 87 years and several months old. Do you understand that?" Canavan said.
"Yes!" Crain blurted out emotionally.
Canavan asked the victims' family members to raise their hands if they disagreed with the plea deal. No hands went up.
"Do you understand the extent of damage you have done to the victims in this case?" the judge asked Crain.
"Yes, sir, I do," she replied.
At a preliminary hearing in May, nine of Crain's former students — ages 9 to 11 — testified their teacher took photos of them in her classroom and during a pizza party at her home while they were wearing tank tops and underwear. Prosecutors said the girls also were videotaped naked while changing clothes.
District Attorney Richard Smothermon said Crain shared the photos with Doby, a former professor at Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania, as well as sexually explicit photos she took of herself.
"I'm glad she took some responsibility today. It was too long in coming," Smothermon said.
During the sentencing hearing, Crain's husband, Rick Crain, asked for leniency for his wife. He said he believed she was coerced by Doby and that her conduct was "100 percent instigated by him."
"He's a very slick talker," Rick Crain said.
Smothermon said he had planned to question Doby during Kimberly Crain's sentencing hearing and believes Crain decided to plead guilty to prevent Doby from disclosing the extent of her involvement.
"They were partners in crime," Smothermon said. "This wasn't Mr. Doby. This was her."
Smothermon described Doby as "a pedophile" and "a monster to children" who resurrected a relationship with Crain in 2010. Officials have said the two met during the 1980s when Crain was a student and Doby a professor at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee.

Huge blows.
The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Bulaga placed on IR, Lang ready
Green Bay -- And the list continues to grow. The Green Bay Packers placed their seventh player on injured reserve Monday and this one could really leave a mark.
Right tackle Bryan Bulaga (hip) is done for the season, the team announced Monday. Outside linebacker Vic So'oto was signed to fill his spot on the roster. Bulaga suffered the injury on a very awkward play in Green Bay's 31-17 win over Arizona. There was no contact as the third-year pro pulled up lame. Left guard T.J. Lang replaced Bulaga with Evan Dietrich-Smith filling in at guard.
So now, that appears to be the plan for the Packers.
"My first couple years, I had experience getting snaps at every different position," Lang said. "When things do happen now, I feel a lot more comfortable than a year or two ago. You can't make the transition any bigger than it is. You just have to adjust, move on and do the best you can and keep continuity, keep chemistry and continue to get better as a line. That's the biggest focus."
It won't be easy to replace Bulaga, who has been a steady, calming presence at right tackle since his rookie season in 2010. The only healthy back-ups on the roster right now are two undrafted players -- guard Greg Van Roten and guard/tackle Don Barclay. An offensive line already lacking depth cannot afford more injuries. Barclay is the likely third tackle, though coach Mike McCarthy wouldn't get into specifics.
"We have a rotation. It really depends on which tackle," McCarthy said. "I'm not going to get into who's going where and how but we do have a rotation in mind."
Van Roten says he's ready for anything at this point.
"You're an offensive lineman," Van Roten said, "so you have to know everything. You're not going to make a living knowing just one position. You just have to take it on yourself. If you want to stay here and make yourself valuable, you can't just learn one position. You can't be a specialist. You have to be versatile. That's what they look for."
On the bright side for Green Bay, several players returned from injury after the bye week. Wide receiver Jordy Nelson, cornerback Sam Shields, tight end Andrew Quarless and fullback John Kuhn all participated Monday, though Kuhn appeared to be back on a limited basis. Tackle Derek Sherrod was back on an apparent limited basis as well. The former first-round pick began the season on the physically unable to perform list.
The signing of So'oto could mean that Matthews (hamstring) will be missing some time. McCarthy didn't provide a timetable for the outside linebacker Monday. The only other options at the position are Erik Walden, Dezman Moses and Frank Zombo.
Above all, losing Bulaga is the concern for now. After playing guard and tackle early in his career, Lang really settled into guard last season and promptly earned a contract extension. Now, it's back to tackle. Another injury would sting, but for now the Packers don't plan on doing any different offensively.
"He's a pro," McCarthy said. "He'll dive into the preparation part of it, particularly with who he's playing against and the things we're asking him to do. So T.J. won't keep us out of anything as far as the way we game plan here the last couple days. So we have a lot of confidence in T.J. at right tackle."
Lang says he's ready.
"I'm trying not to make too big a deal about it," Lang said. "I've had a lot of snaps, a lot of opportunities out there at tackle before. It's something that I'm familiar with."

Woodson, Benson, Bulaga...
Huge blows.Hide replies
i just dont get all these injuries i know this is the NFL but wy do we seem every year to have more than the norm,hell everyteam in our division all seem very healthy compared to us,even the bears who play on a crappy field in the same weather yet every year for the most part they are alot healthier than us very frustrating.
2 weeks off n still cant have everyone back
its cyclical... bears' season was derailed last year by cutler and forte injuries... urlacher also tore his knee in finale. vikings lost AP... lions lost best...
i'll tell u what jhumbe let the bears lose marshall for 8 weks,forte for 8 weeks,their starting safety for 6 weeks,the starting lb for the season,their starting RT for the season,need i go on,you compare the lions losing 1 player in best as the same thing as losing like 6 starters on the packers.WOW
Cutler will miss 1 game thats it,AP of minny again 1 guy damn i wish the packers were lucky enough to lose just 1 guy like the lions did or the bears a WR who would be 3rd or 4th on the packers.
Woodson was a blow... a blown coverage kinda guy
Really. Why do people keep thinking Woodson was solid? He has not been the same since he won DPOY ... 3 years ago.
The Bears also lost one of their starting WR's to a broken hand. And also Cutler left lasts night game with a concussion. Who knows how long he will be out.
"Why do people think Woodson was solid?"
Uhhh.... the Colts game.. and the fact that he was the only guy that did a respectable job on Wayne.
Woodson bashers are stupider than Bears fans.
"Woodson) has not been the same since he won DPOY ... 3 years ago."
2nd team All-Pro 2010
1st team All-Pro 2011
indrainedhearts hit it on the head. While Woodson may bring "leadership" and other non-quantifiable attributes, his actual physical play has been replaced without much of a hiccup. As for Benson, I'm not sure how a running back who averaged 3.5 ypc is a huge loss, when his replacements have provided essentially the same production. Now Bulaga(and Bishop) were actually huge blows to lose for extended stretches.
"indrainedhearts was hit in the head."

Any damage was bound to be minor...
If this situation doesn't get turned around, kiss the season good bye. How does So'oto make up for Bulaga's loss?Hide replies
He makes up for Matthews loss as best as he can.
He makes up for Matthews loss as best as he can.
Kind of a goofy comment. So'oto doesn't make up for the loss of Bulaga. Rather he is an available player who knows the system and can play where there is another significant injury with Matthews.
Maybe they've secretly been working Vic out @ OT.
So'Oto plays special teams so that the player who takes Matthews spot in the lineup doesn't have to do that too. It's simple really.
Anyone know when Derek Sherrod is do to come of IR?Hide replies
Not soon enough. Probably too late, too little.
He has to be actived from the PUP in the next two weeks or he goes on IR.
Did you read the story? He was back at practice today. If I understand the PUP correctly, he can practice for 3 weeks and then they have to activate him, cut him, or IR him.
EDS had a good camp and looked very good against AZ, for a while I wasn't sure he wouldn't have been a better option than Saturday at C. This is just a matter of how far the drop off from Bulaga to Lang is at RT. It's something, but is it going to be a problem? We've got JPP, Jared Allen and Cliff Avril coming up, so I guess we're going to find out...Hide replies
It's not a matter of how far of a drop off from Bulaga to Lang, it's a matter of how far of a drop from from Bulaga, hampered by tendonitis in his right knee, to Lang. Bulaga was not playing as well as normal, and I am pretty sure his knee was in large part why. That's the outside knee, pretty tough to get any push forward or to the outside with the outside knee ailing.
Next man up!
It's all there for the taking.
When this season is over (whenever that might be) The Packers
have to do some very serious evaluation of the Medical, Training
and Conditioning Staff. Yes football is a violent sport and injuries
will happen, but why is it that for the past recent years the Packers
seem to lead the league in players being injured what is even more
disturbing is that players are even getting injured in Practice !
You do not hear or see any other team get hit with such an
avalanche of injuries like the Packers have in the last 4 to 5
years. But one thing that surely is a constant during the
same period has been the same Medical, Training and
Conditioning Staff has been in place.
The Packer Organization better address this issue immediately
if they are going to try to add another Lombardi Trophy in
its case because this could impact in trying to sign players
who might want to come and play for the Packers.Hide replies
Go to every teams injury report. The Packers are pretty typical, except for 2010.
Pretty Typical ?
Can you name a team at this very moment that has Pro-Bowl
Players like Woodson, Matthews, Jennings, Bishop and now
a top caliber tackle like Bulaga on their injuryy list and add to
that two more Pro-Bowl players like Nelson and Kuhn who
were injured in Practice .
How about Baltimore Joe? They have quite a number of players hurt or lost for the season. Injuries are part of it. Packers just need o replace those guys and perform.
Sorry PackerJoe, but Packers are in the middle of the pack for injuries in recent years, except for 2010 when they amazingly won it all.
In addition, over the last 20 years, they are number one in the league at fewest games missed at quarterback, thanks in large part to slimy but durable Favre.
It is a miracle that Flynn's start in the New England game in 2010 is the only game since Favre arrived in 1992 that a back up QB has started a game for the Packers due to injury to the starter.
Packer joe, not many if any teams have that many pro bowl players on their entire roster. You are beating a dead horse blaming the medial training staff on injuries. How do you prevent a broken collarbone that woodson suffered? Tell him to drink more milk with dinner? If you are new to this blog, I understand, but every time a player goes to the injured reserve, someone on this blog blames the medical staff and the argument really does not hold any water.
PackerJoe, can you even name a team that has as many pro-bowlers or even pro-bowl caliber players that the Packers have? So yes, these players are injured but since we have so many pro-bowl players there is a higher probability that a pro-bowler will get injured. Learn some stats buddy.
Packers had nearly zero serious injuries last year.
Aaron has a great point, most of these injuries have nothing to do with conditioning or the medical staff. When joints and bones get broke, they are just broke.
You're offering me $5 million a year to play for the Packers?
Great offer but I'm sorry that I'm going to have to pass...that coaching staff in Green Bay just coaches too many broken bones and torn ligaments for my liking. I'm going to sign where the coaches don't coach that kind of stuff.
Sounds dumb? Yes it does.
Nick Collins has proven to be a bigger loss than any of us imagined.
.. and a healthier Chad Clifton may have gotten us to another Super Bowl.
Nick Collins has proven to be a bigger loss than SOME of us imagined. Not all.
Lots of key players already lost (Bishop being the most significant) but this may turn out to be the most damaging injury of the year. While I'm fairly confident Lang and EDS can hold the fort, if 1 more O-lineman goes down, that may present a serious problem. Right now the OL depth consists of Barclay and Van Roten.Hide replies
I honestly think that EDS and Lang played very well last week. Our running game was very productive.
Sure bet.... Sherrod will not play this season. Compound fracture of the tibia / fibula for a 300 ponder is at least a one year rehab to play NFL football.Hide replies
He is only one month shy of a year since the injury. Humans are amazing creatures, at times they defy modern medicine.
If it is such a "sure bet", how much would you actually be willing to bet he won't play this year?
If you would read what TheClaw said, he said the REHAB would be at least a year. He didn't say that he would be able to play within a year. Once you rehab from injury you need time to get back up to playing shape/speed and need time to practice too. I'd be 10k he wouldn't play this season because I heard when this injury first occurred that it would be the 2013 season before we saw him play most likely.
You probably would have bet that AP would not be back for the 2012 either and definitely not playing at the level he is now.
ord packer fan, I was just thinking the same thing. how long does it take to rehab from ACL and MCL tears? That must not be AP out there, since it takes longer than this.
humans are amazing creatures but not as fun to watch as say monkeys or racoons. or a gifted ocelot.
Who wants to see the quality of product represented on the turf near the end of an 18 game season? Any thoughts by the NFL to expand the season should be squashed. Bulaga's injury doesn't even categorize in the "violent sport" discussion.Hide replies
Rosters would need to be expanded...which dilutes the talent...and ups the price of admission.

The Rabbitat film has been viewed over 4000 times (11,000 in March 2014) since it was posted on Vimeo, 9 months ago! To celebrate, I've put together a selection of process photos, most of which have not been published before. Posters of Rabbitat (on left) are available from my Etsy shop. The original fabric relief piece is currently on display at the Woods Hole Public Library and will be included in RISD ICONS: A Legacy of Illustration from Rhode Island School of Design, at the Woods Gerry Gallery, 62 Prospect St., Providence, RI. The exhibit is short, June 13-25.

Etsy shop open for business
I've finally joined the rest of the world by opening an Etsy shop! It's taken a while for me to figure out what kind of items to sell, since I've given up mass-producing dolls and kits, etc. I could have really used a service like this 30 years ago, or even 10 years ago. At the moment, I'm happy to offer three brand new posters of some of my more popular fabric relief pieces; Self Portrait: A Personal History of Fashion, Rabbitat and On Halloween.
The 18″ x 24″ posters are high quality reproductions, printed on sturdy 100 lb. paper. My sister, Anne Mavor did a beautiful job with the graphic design–so tastefully done. I'm very excited to be offering these, so please visit my shop!
Polly hikes Green Gulch
On our last day in the bay area of California, we visited beautiful Muir Beach. We met our friends from home, Judy and Phil Richardson, who are renting a house in Berkeley for a month. Judy and I created 2 picture books together (read about our book, The Way Home here). This was an opportunity to see Green Gulch, Phil's boyhood home. For years he has talked about growing up on a cattle ranch that was later protected from development, when the property was given to the San Francisco Zen Center and a nature conservation organization.
Polly came along, while we hiked through the Zen Center and up to the top of the hill, which overlooks Muir Beach. What a spectacular view!
Leading up to our special day, we had gone out to Green's restaurant in SF earlier in the week, which is run by the Zen Center. Here, Polly is inspecting my dinner, a delicious grilled polenta that was served with butternut squash and sweet potato gratin.
Little Red
Local photographer, Dorene Sykes needed a model for a project, so she asked me to come over to her home studio with some of my dolls. I brought a basket of possible wee folk and we decided that Little Red Ridinghood would show up the best. She took this sweet picture of me holding her out front. The purpose of the exercise was to literally focus attention on an object in the foreground, with an identifiable, but less clear person in the background. Dorene and I had a lot of fun trying out different poses. I really like that way this one came out, especially the flattering extra "soft focus" effect, since I'm feeling aware of my age ( 57 yesterday).
RISD reunion in SF
We're back home and the snow peas in the garden have grown an inch. It's going to be the earliest harvest yet! One of the highlights of our trip west was a visit with some RISD classmates in San Francisco. Rob and I had such a great time catching up with Ashley Wolff, Julie Downing and her husband Scott Slotterback. I swear, we didn't plan our coordinated blue tops and jeans. Earlier in the day, I gave a talk at the Academy of Art University, where Julie teaches illustration classes. In the evening we gathered at Julie and Scott's art-filled house.
Julie and I figured out that it's been 29 years since we've seen each other. Ashley came to visit me last summer, which I wrote about here. Even Polly Doll made new friends. We took her picture with the little boy from Julie's book, White Snow, Blue Feather and Miss Bindergarten from Ashley's book's.
Julie presented me with my old RISD meal card mug shot. I have no memory of the card, but apparently we were too unreliable to carry cards on our persons and had our pictures displayed on a board in the cafeteria. She had kept it all these years in a folder with other RISD memorabilia.
I look like a mixture of Pocahontas and Laura Ingalls Wilder. Thanks for such a good time, Julie! All these years, we've all been caught in the family and career vortex, so it's great to finally reunite and still have fun together!
Polly tours San Francisco
We walked along the waterfront, where Polly gazed at the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance.
These amazing purple blue flowers were growing around the marina.
After climbing Telegraph Hill, we went inside Coit Tower and were drawn into the WPA Depression-era murals, which depict California's economic and political life.
Polly goes to Chinatown
Polly goes to Portland
Polly Doll has been traveling with us. I made her last week, the day before we left for the west coast. On Saturday, we went to the Portland Art Museum and saw some impressionist paintings.
My sister Anne helped me take pictures of Polly at the museum.
Here she is, on a moss and fungi covered Oregon rock. We're ready to explore San Fransisco tomorrow!
Gossamer talk
Yesterday's talk at Gossamer in Portland, OR was really enjoyable. We set up chairs in every available spot, amongst the wool roving, felt and yarn. The shop was full to capacity and Rose (above) was tickled pink to have so many people in her shop. I met the nicest people and several blog followers came, including Kristin Shields (below). Thank you to everyone who helped behind the scenes, including my sister Anne, her husband Dennis, and my husband Rob. We went out to a fabulous Peruvian restaurant afterwards! I'm off to San Fransisco tomorrow and will talk to illustration students at the Academy of Art University this week. Too bad that the presentation isn't open to the public, or else I would have announced it. I'll try to post something from S.F. later in the week.

Gary D'Amato offers news and insights, from the latest on Wisconsin tournaments and players to new technology, courses and instruction
Rounds played up 7.5% over 2011, according to report
Golf Datatech, the golf industry's leading independent research firm for consumer, trade and retail golf trends, announced that rounds played through nine months in 2012 have increased 7.5% over 2011 numbers.
The trending growth in rounds played, which are at levels not previously experienced since 2006, is backed by findings that show consistent, favorable weather conditions throughout the country, based on reports provided by Weather Trends International.
"For the first nine months of 2012, golf rounds played throughout the U.S. are at an all-time high in terms of percentage increase, up 7.5% over 2011," said Tom Stine of Golf Datatech. "This is the largest jump in rounds played since we began tracking them in 1999.
"With the weather data from Weather Trends International, it is easy to conclude that favorable temperatures and low precipitation throughout the year has been the biggest contributing factor. However, we also hope that the golf industry's 'grow the game' efforts are beginning to pay dividends and play a part in this noteworthy increase."
The East North Central region, which includes Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, has reported a 13.4% increase in rounds played year-to-date, the most significant increase in the country. The average temperature increased by 4.2 degrees as compared to 2011, while the precipitation decreased 31%.
In the South Atlantic region, which consists of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and Maryland, rounds played increased by only 3.7% as compared to 2011, which demonstrates the smallest increase in the country. The average temperature increase was only 1 degree and there was no change in the amount of precipitation.

Woking's Oral History
Selected Recordings
Since the early 90s volunteers and staff at The Lightbox have been collecting peoples memories of living and working in this borough.
John Paul Bland
With over 200 interviews we now have a wealth of spoken memories.
Stories range from playing by the canal or on the common, to working in the nurseries or in the Lion Works, having fun in the cinema or the old swimming pool, or coming and living here from London or Pakistan… the list is almost endless.
Below are links to a sample of those spoken memories, under 8 themed headings. From time to time we will refresh this sample with a new selection of interview extracts. You can also listen to selected recordings when visiting Woking's Story in The Lightbox, the museum of the town's history.
In 2007 we released the first in a series of publications of peoples memories of Woking Woking Living Words Volume 1. It can be purchased for our gift shop for £9.99. In time we plan to produce further volumes looking at life in Brookwood Hospital and Childhood in Woking.
The Lightbox uses oral history to support education programmes. For more information please see the Learning section of this website.
The Lightbox's oral history project has been generously funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Please click on the links below to listen to selected oral history recordings.
To listen to people talking, and to see photos of local people and places, please click on one of the topics below.
Woking has a long tradition of performance and performers, from the Public Hall to the Atalanta to the Ambassadors.
Industry in Woking
Following the coming of the railway the proportion of people in the borough working in agriculture began to fall. In the 20th century Martinsydes and James Walker were both important industrial employers. McLaren Technology Centre is a stunning architectural and technological 21st-century achievement.
Islam and The Mosque
This was the first purpose-built mosque in Britain. It was built next to the Institute of Oriental Learning and Literature (now demolished). It is the spiritual focus for a large local Muslim community.
Local Tales
Listen to a variety of Woking people talking about their lives.
The Queen's Royal Surrey Regiment
The Queens Royal Surrey Regiment can trace its origins back to the time of Charles II.
Shops and Shopping
Shopping used to be a much slower, more personal experience. There were no supermarkets or out-of-town shopping complexes. Nothing was ready-made and all payments were in cash.
A Sporting Town
Woking is renowned for its golf clubs, and its many famous sportsmen include the Bedser twins.
Brookwood Hospital and Mental Health
Brookwood Asylum (later Brookwood Hospital) was opened in 1867. It was run as a self-contained community, rather like an enclosed village. It closed in 1994, when Care in the Community had become the main approach to caring for people with mental health problems.

CHARLOTTE — John Pinson didn't have to wait in the line wrapping around the Sheraton Charlotte Airport on Friday morning. So he didn't mind so many people showing up with the same goal – a fresh start.
"This place is packed," said Pinson, operations director for Charlotte Premium Outlets. "We've got close to 500 people, and we just opened 20 minutes ago."
The hotel hosted 61 retailers Friday who met with job-seekers, interviewing for the more than 900 jobs promised as part of the Steele Creek outlet project. Charlotte Premium Outlets opens July 1 with 90 percent of the tenants signed on. There will be 100 designer and name brand outlet stores.
Hiring will continue through opening, but Friday was an opportunity for potential employees to find the best fit.
Behind the point booth in the grand ballroom, Kelli Gilliam had to catch her breath Friday as applicants filed past.
"I'm going to be worn out," said Gilliam, Carolinas district manager with Banana Republic Factory Store. "There are a lot of people."
That was 45 minutes into the job fair.
Deon Williams was one of the fortunate few who didn't have to circle the hotel parking lot several times, or park on a nearby service road. He planned ahead. The Goldsboro, N.C., resident came Thursday with his sister and stayed in the hotel.
"We woke up and walked downstairs," Williams said.
A job for Williams or his sister could mean a move from Goldsboro, something he sees as an opportunity afforded by the new outlet mall.
"It would be a change for us being in a big city," Williams said. "It would be something new."
People came by car Friday. They came by the busload. They came early, and they came with resumes ready.
Joseph Pratt, Lindsey Montgomery and Brittany Reaves came together. The friends each had different retailers they most wanted to visit.
"There's some stores that we were interested in, more of the sports stores," Reaves said.
Montgomery and Pratt agreed the networking opportunity was useful, even with stores that might not top their lists.
"There are some stores we really didn't know what they are," Pratt said.
Pinson says the interest in working at the outlets will mirror interest among shoppers when it opens. At I-485 and N.C. 160, the outlets will be a "showplace of a shopping center." He's confident shoppers and investors will see similar value.
"It's money well spent," he said.

"Kiss my ass."
No doubt many devoted public servants at the federal, state and local levels have longed to issue that response in official correspondence, when confronted by a belligerent, ill-informed or downright racist challenge from a constituent, taxpayer or stakeholder.
In 1970, Alabama Attorney General Bill Baxley actually did. Letters of Note has the details.

ATM smash-and-grab
HOUSTON –- Crooks used a pickup truck and sledgehammers to carry out yet another ATM smash-and-grab at a convenience store in northeast Houston early Wednesday.
The latest ATM burglary, the sixth one this week in northeast Houston, was reported around 2 a.m. on Eastland Street near St. Louis Street.
Police said surveillance video shows three suspects backing a pickup truck through the front of the store. They then used sledgehammers to clear away debris and gain access to the ATM, which was bolted to the floor. They tied the ATM to the truck and ripped it away from the ground.
The crooks made a clean getaway with the machine full of cash.
The store's owner told KHOU 11 News nothing else was taken, but between the missing ATM and the damage done, his business is hurting.
"It's not only the ATM, you know," said the owner, who goes by the name Johnny. "I'm a family man. Still asleep at midnight, get a call to come out here, and everything is broken. If you know the person, or you know the truck, or you know whoever tried to do it, call the cops."
At a similar scene on Tuesday, the Houston Police Department said these types of crimes are being pulled off by a large ring of burglars.
Detectives said anyone with information can call Houston Crime Stoppers anonymously at 713-222-TIPS.

— As fears grow of a growing disadvantageous trade imbalance for the United States with economic behemoth China, we must always treasure our certain, unshakable ties with Canada.
Last week, Dr. Michael Hawes, a Canadian official who is an expert on the multi-faceted relationship between his country and the United States, spoke in Plattsburgh about the importance of increasing understanding in both directions.
The links between the two nations are so strong, so vital to each and so proximate that it behooves each country to get to know the other as well as it can. We in the North Country couldn't agree more.
This region is especially reliant on Canada for its own prosperity. The North Country Chamber of Commerce estimates Clinton County's dependence on Canadian investments, payrolls, land holdings and other factors at well over $1 billion a year.
Two of our most vibrant private industries — Bombardier and Nova Bus — are headquartered in Canada and have established a presence in Plattsburgh to capitalize on the lucrative United States market for their products. Geography is indeed a strong economic incentive, which we all understand and respect.
With that in mind, our chamber has certified as one of its top priorities to know everything it can about the Province of Quebec, City of Montreal and Canada in general to take advantage of any opening that knowledge presents. It was that kind of familiarity and opportunism that helped bring those two significant industrial employers to Plattsburgh.
Hawes's speech practically coincides with latest warnings that our trade balance with China is drastically out of balance. We import far more from that powerhouse than we deliver there.
In fact, figures available on the U.S. Department of Commerce website indicate that, in 1985, the United State exported almost exactly the same value in goods to China as it imported: more than $3.8 billion. Last year, we exported $103 billion worth of goods but imported $399 billion.
Numbers on Canadian trade are a good deal more comforting: In 1985, we exported $47 billion to Canada and imported $69 billion; last year, the respective numbers were $251 billion and $315 billion.
And, remember, with Canada there are no suspicions of "cheating," such as by artificially manipulating its currency to take advantage of its trading partners. We are cordial neighbors with a symbiotic relationship. We will always be close emotionally as well as geographically.
We agree with Dr. Hawes: This relationship is the best and most reliable either one has. It must be nurtured and cultivated.
We may be dealing with China with a wary eye, but Canada will always be a valuable partner and a best friend and neighbor.

Cardinal Ratzinger of Germany has been described as a strict conservative leader, but Father Brian Mulcahy sees him in a different light
"He's actually a very humble and simple man in person," said Fr. Brian Mulcahy of St. Thomas Aquinas Church who studied under him. "He's an absolutely brilliant man, a noted theologian, but somebody who is very easy to talk to, very soft spoken."
The man he knows is very cultured and allays stress in an interesting way.
"He loves to play the piano, that's how he relaxes, playing the piano," said Fr. Mulcahy.
He was not a leading candidate for the papacy before the election and some thought he was one of the least likely candidates.
"I was saying they'll never elect him and even if they did I think he'd turn it down because from his own lips I heard him say he wants nothing more than to be relieved from his administrative duties and write the few books he has in his head to write--but obviously the holy spirit had something else in mind," Fr. Mulcahy said.
Speaking of books, since elected, his sales have sky rocketed. Very few stores in the area sell his books now--but are expecting to have copies in later this week. Barnes and Noble's website put his writings on their homepage. Fr. Mulcahy describes both the new pope and his writings, deeply spiritual.
"He just comes with a great theological mind--a deep personal faith and that's what he brings to his writings," said Fr. Mulcahy.
Other Catholic leaders can see his faith even if they haven't met him personally
"Transitional Popes are full of surprises, so no matter how long Pope Benedict lasts, he's a very strong personality and I'm sure his affect will be felt very much," said Fr. Gregory Kandt from the Church of the Incarnation.
Catholics say he is a gifted leader that fulfills what the cardinals were looking for: a man of prayer and faith.

For years, record engineer and producer Eddie Kramer had a front-row seat to the genius of Jimi Hendrix. As the guitar idol's right-hand sound man, Kramer engineered Hendrix's classic Electric Ladyland and served as the director of engineering at the musician's state-of-the-art Electric Ladyland studios. As he explains in this clip, their recording space was where Jimi truly felt at home. "In '68 and '69, Jimi was in the studio constantly," recalls Kramer. "His whole life was in the studio."
In this interview, Kramer reminisces about the experimental vigor that fueled Hendrix in his final days as he began recording his next album. The previously unreleased recordings comprise People, Hell and Angels, out March 5th. Kramer is also excited to cue up the lead single, "Somewhere," a track that features Stephen Stills and drummer Buddy Miles and displays a particularly bold usage of Hendrix's soulful guitar squall. "That's a fantastic example of Jimi's amazing control of the wah-wah [pedal], the tone of the wah-wah – how that affects the whole song," he enthuses.

In a hard-fought special congressional election marked by sharp divisions in ideology and even sharper personal attacks, Democrat Janice Hahn defeated underdog Republican Craig Huey on Tuesday.
Unofficial election night returns showed Hahn won 54.6% to 45.4%.
Hahn opened with an early lead and held on to it throughout the night. Before even half the ballots were tallied, congratulatory messages began pouring into Hahn's election night party at a San Pedro waterfront restaurant, and one of the would-be successors to her Los Angeles City Council seat declared himself a candidate.

A 49-year-old St. Louis woman is dead from a car accident on Interstate 44 just outside of Kirkwood city limits on Thursday.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Frances Winker was driving westbound on Interstate 44, just east of Holmes Avenue, when she traveled off the left side of the highway and struck the median wall. The car then reentered the roadway, traveled across I-44 and struck a rock bluff before overturning.
Winker was taken to Mercy Hospitl in Creve Coeur by a Kirkwood ambulance but was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly before 6 p.m.
Winker's car, a 2000 Ford Expedition, was totaled. According to the highway patrol, she was not wearing a seat belt.

Impressed with knowledge
I have observed Jason Gillman as being an excellent county commissioner with a close eye on fiscal responsibility. In talking to him personally, I've been impressed with his vast knowledge on property rights, his willingness to stand up for limited government and preservation of our individual freedoms.
I believe him to be an honest man and one who will work hard to protect the people's rights in Michigan as a state representative.
Jeri LeRoi
Traverse City
Has experience, training
Peninsula Township Clerk Monica Hoffman has considerable experience plus training through state and municipal courses and certification, and it shows in her work. She has used her training to develop an efficient and lean staff to handle the requirements of her office, while paying attention to the township's residents' concerns.
She certainly deserves the votes of the township's residents in the upcoming primary election.
Bud Stych
Traverse City
Has the experience
As the recipient of the 2012 Liberty Bell Award (for non-attorneys participating in the legal system) I have worked with many attorneys and area courts. Based on my experience, I believe Melanie Stanton is by far the best candidate for probate judge. She knows the law, has the most courtroom experience and has always exhibited integrity and dedication to the welfare of those she represents. She was instrumental in the creation of the mental health court. She has the appropriate temperament to serve as probate judge because she cares about people. Please join me in supporting her.
Barbara Winburne
Traverse City
Vet the candidates
You have a choice right now. Get involved. Take the time to learn, listen and question these candidates. Decide for yourself, not by a friend or the "media." Vet these candidates. What are their principles, accomplishments and their plan of action? Seek a clear and precise answer; ask the questions until you do. Make the effort to get out and hear Jason Gillman. He is committed and dedicated in working for you as a citizen by taking it to the state. Vote in the Aug. 7 primary for Jason Gillman for State Rep. for the 104th District.

The critical component
Bonnie Scheele is the candidate of choice for county clerk. As former Traverse City clerk I know extensive experience is necessary before assuming this position.
Bonnie has extensive experience as deputy clerk and complete knowledge of laws applicable to being county clerk. Just knowing the laws doesn't translate into proper execution, only experience provides that critical component for being a competent county clerk.
Bonnie Scheele has that experience and will "hit the ground running" if elected. I know from personal experience related to campaign finance laws that Bonnie will go out of her way to give great service.
Vote Scheele.

Sets high standards
Competency, commitment, fairness, compassion, patience, organization, impartiality, deliberation and common sense, these are key qualities I look for in a good probate court judge. They are also qualities by which Kirsten Keilitz conducts her personal and professional life. Kirsten sets high standards for herself and expects them from others. She would serve the community with pride and distinction. Vote for Kirsten Keilitz for Grand Traverse County Probate Court Judge in the upcoming election.
Jim Spencer
Traverse City
Experience that matters
I support Bonnie Scheele for Grand Traverse County Clerk. She has the experience that matters, having worked as the deputy county clerk for 15 years. Bonnie understands what is required for this position better than any other candidate. I have worked with Bonnie for over 12 years. She is the most friendly, professional and conscientious person I know. She would make an excellent county clerk.
Bonnie's experience as the deputy county clerk, education, and professionalism make her the best choice for county clerk. Vote for experience. Vote for Bonnie Scheele on Aug. 7. Please visit her web site: scheeleforclerk.com.

He'll lead the fight
While the Supreme Court used convoluted reasoning to uphold Obamacare, it can still be defeated by the public, which opposes this new medical tax by 54-46 percent according to one poll. On election day, support those pledged to end it at both national and state levels. This includes Congressman Dan Benishek and our own State Rep. candidate, Jason Gillman.
In 2009 Commissioner Gillman organized the first anti-Obamacare Health Care Conference, attended by hundreds at St. Francis auditorium. Gillman is a strict constitutionalist. He'll lead this kind of fight for individual rights, not merely follow from the sidelines.
Bill Vockel
Traverse City
Experience is important
During her 12 years as our Register of Deeds, Peggy Haines has greatly improved the office, recording critical real estate documents more timely and efficiency while reducing governmental costs. She has been a leader in implementing new technology to accomplish these improvements. Retaining her experience is an important aspect for continuing the recovery of our local real estate industry which is so vital to the region's future prosperity.
We strongly urge voters to re-elect Peggy Haines as Grand Traverse County Register of Deeds.

OMAHA, Neb. - Florida State's Sherman Johnson is the recipient of the 2012 Rawlings Gold Glove award at third base as chosen by the American Baseball Coaches Association.
Johnson has started all 66 games for the Seminoles in 2012 making 61 starts at third base and five at shortstop. The Tampa, Fla., native has posted a .970 fielding percentage on the year committing just six errors in 200 fielding chances. Johnson has committed just one error over the last 35 games heading into Thursday's College World Series game against Arizona.
In addition to his tremendous defensive play, the senior third baseman has been a major contributed at the plate in serving as the Seminoles' leadoff hitter this year. Johnson is hitting .279 with 68 hits including 17 doubles and five home runs. He has scored 64 runs and registered 38 RBI. Johnson is the ACC leader in walks with 67 and is two shy of the national lead. On Thursday against Arizona, Johnson will make his 200th consecutive start in a Seminole uniform, a streak that dates back to the beginning of his sophomore season in 2010.
Johnson becomes the third Florida State player to win a Rawlings Gold Glove joining Buster Posey (2008 - catcher) and Tyler Holt (2009 - OF) as past recipients of the award.
