Concerning the last question, on ensuring architectural design quality: the very first step, one that is urgently needed, is to put an end to the way the London Plan Town Centres policy is being used to dump large items of architectural banality into locations that desperately need well-designed buildings that enhance or improve the existing urbanscape. For example, Swiss Cottage, where the Mayor has been supporting developers Essential Living, who plan to insert a vile-looking skyscraper next to the iconic Swiss Cottage library, designed by Sir Basil Spence, and other adjacent well-designed buildings. The Town Centres policy should ensure that there is a plan that treats each 'town centre' as a coherent whole, and only allows careful townscape development of high quality.
No one seems to be considering the huge number of new homes that could be delivered by redeveloping and regenerating the numerous low rise very poor quality secondary and tertiary shopping areas in London and the UK. Whilst I appreciate that owners/traders need to retain incomes a sophisticated grant system could generate a rolling programme which would not only bring new homes on brownfield sites but also improve the customer offer by generating new and improved retail areas and encouraging new entrants with new retail and economic offers into these areas
Those poor quality secondary and tertiary shopping areas should absolutely be refurbished or redeveloped - the objective should be to turn them into local primary shopping and cultural centres as well as providing more housing. Greater London has far too many drab boring 'high streets', usually strung along fairly main roads. Attractive local cultural and shopping centres might take the pressure off the centre of London, which suffers from serious overcrowding.
Increase density by promoting the generally low rise urban perimeter block with shops and services at ground level like European cities. The English mindset is to import village architecture and its two storey house into the city, which is retrogressive. Ebenezer Howard's garden city idea that has had world wide influence, and replicated at vast scale in USA was delusional both spatially and socially. It promotes or requires the motor car, is a disincentive to walking. and degrades human sociability and sophistication. I live in suburbia and people are insular and downright unfriendly. Cars are everywhere, more often than not with one person inside and the pollution is blatant. The level of wasted or redundant space is enormous, better to put it into sociable parks and squares. It's a relief not to have a car or need one at the moment. But for most a car is not a privilege but a right and when they get one they often become monsters behind the wheel. Cities should also allow for safe cycling. Traffic has become scary. The problems and solutions are obvious but we continue to wreck the place. One day the place is going to wreck us.
5 storeys, modern block of flats, with communal gardens and shopping facilities at street level. For me, that could be a good solution.
But a lot of high streets are like that, though maybe without the communal gardens. I think it needs a few more storeys and a revolution in architects' and developers' mindsets on design. Redevelopment is needed, and the shopping facilities taken off the main roads - put the high street round the back, create a cultural and shopping centre off the main road.
I would love to see someone nominate an area and for an architect to take up the gauntlet and do a proper master plan with a robust public realm and infrastructure plan and get some of that CIL money spent on the community. How, in this day and age, we can put up with grotty shops and even grottier accommodation over yet focus on building on green belt is beyong belief. Yes the concept will be difficult but its not impossible.
Yes, brilliant way to do it. Starting with an area in somewhere like Thornton Heath, for eg.
Have a look at this, which stops suburban sprawl in its tracks: a notional town called Calvert that is a city in a garden.
There should be no such thing as a grotty shop. We need to increase our expectations and make sure they don't lie empty or unloved.
I think there is a simple but educational approach to this suggestion. This is for a trainee architect or a university to design a project of it. As a student, if I had been given the task and opportunity of going out armed with os maps to assess an area and work out a basic design and numbers exercise (existing versus potential) for my lecturer to consider and then take us to the next stage I would have loved it. Real life experience that could potentially be submitted not only for internal assessment but also externally to Mayor of London to see if it might be workable. any lecturers or principal architects out there...
safe frequency
I do think that now London looks a mess. It seems that every architect has their own ideas and gets away with it.No joint-up thinking apparent anywhere!
I think the masterplan and public realm and infrastructure plan approach over these wider areas would make London more joined up and, importantly, ensure that fundamental design and environmental features are retained and enhanced during the process. This district approach would also enable dovetailingn with neighbouring borough districts or centres on important infrastructure considerations and hopefully deliver more economic and sustainable solutions.
We have had some of that public realm approach in our area, where there are large property companies owning swathes of land and property. Each time there is cohesive design and good quality architecture (if a bit homogenised) but also they are upgrading the local environment and refurbishing blocks of property to increase its market value.. Ordinary Londoners' needs are being planned out, one way or another. The problem is to have high quality architectural design while keeping costs down.
Expanding the London perimeter and getting additional area in by way of commercialising and providing adequate transport options, would be a possible solution. The other would be standardising and limiting the number of floors in a building based on the zones and avoiding skyscraper would help retain the London Identity. Limiting the purchase of houses to new buyers only would definitely help housing issues to some extent.
London is far too big already, and has consumed many areas that used to be in adjacent counties; this contributed to those areas losing identity and becoming homogeneous suburbs of London. Land prices and housing demand are so high that it is essential to knock down swathes of identical streets of identical 2 storey houses and replace them with 4 - 8 storey properties, with more green areas and distinctive architecture. Whole neighbourhoods should be redesigned, with noisy cultural areas kept away from residential areas, mostly car-free, and with schools, retail area and other essential facilities designed-in. Instead of piecemeal insertion of bland ugly high rise blocks of flats.
I agree about piecemeal insertions on scraps of land. They look absurd, are usually tiny inside and completely disrupt the natural flow of an area.
I agree satellite towns with good transport links like Milton Keynes but not so far out.
Golf courses take up twice as much land as housing, to the benefit of a tiny minority. Time to redress!
Absolutely agree they must be open to the public but don't build on them!
I agree. Their contribution to the environment is small - being almost a monoculture of grass. In fact the use of herbicides and pesticides is potentially or actually harmful.
Their recreational value is also low - as you say, they benefit few people, who could take a day trip by train out of London to one of the many courses in neighbouring counties.
Homes need to be spacious inside. Build higher if need be. Build new satellite towns outside m25 with good transport. Don't build next to motorways and railways.
Railways are the good transport, but homes should never be built adjacent to the tracks.
Totaly agree. Higher and more spacious.
We don't have a 'small amount of space' we have a massive amount of space - but a lot of it is very badly used. Private sector greed is being allowed to distort the market.
i) Many new developments aim for the 'luxury' end of the market; and many of those go to overseas buyers and/or are little used. This practice could be stopped with new rules on planning and ownership. ONLY allow social and (relatively) low cost housing to be built.
ii) Where possible, reuse existing buildings rather than replacing them with soulless concrete and glass boxes. Old dock buildings for example would make awesome flats, even if there is a compromise on space.
iii) Use the water! There is so much unused space there, and tens of thousands of people who would love a houseboat mooring in London. It's criminal to see the old docks empty - not to mention the Port of London Authority's ongoing campaign to denude the river of live-aboards.
I think the waterways board or whatever it is called is busy trying to reduce the number of permanent moorings. Or are they trying to make the prices go so high that only the wealthy can afford them? A London mooring can cost up to half a million these days.
Georgian terraces may not be a realistic example today, but they were at least a more sensible use of space than that of the 2 up, 2 down that is the legacy of the interwar period. Houses can be built higher than they are at the moment - maybe five or six storeys. New York City manages to achieve a population density approaching twice that of Greater London, but not all of the houses in New York are in skyscrapers or housing projects - just a more sensible use of space is achieved.
remember the postulate that tower blocks are not fit for housing (referring usually to tower blocks on social housing estates which were built to increase the overall density and packed with single people)? Will the 260 tower blocks with planning permission on the London south bank become the slums of the future? And be demolished like some of the 1970s tower blocks, and at whose expense?
They will have barely any social housing in them, no doubt all with separate poor peoples' entrances, and will be offering top of the market flats to the rich and to absentee owners. So they will probably be better quality builds with better quality maintenance, and will live longer in consequence.
I think we are getting off the point here. The idea of the chat was to try to find a university or architectural practice that would identify an areas and do some basic but innovative masterplanning to see if there is merit in central government pursuing a bigger focus on some of these poor quality tertiary and secondary retail/residential areas. Presumably no academics or architects have log ins!
This was the point I think "How do we build enough homes in the small amount of space we have (i.e. more densely) but at the same time retain London's identity in doing that?" It is not just a problem with the town planners and architects, the majority of whom seem to be pretty mundane in their approach. But maybe that is because both the politicians and the developers lack imagination, the ambition to produce really good urban design, and the will to put money into good major projects. It's not as if the ideas aren't out there - just hunt around on google - it's just getting those with the vision funded and backed.
But it is likely that funding and backing will only come if there is a proposal put forward that shows such a proposal could work - chicken and egg I suppose.
Consider the Angel Building in Islington which was on the RIBA shortlist, even though this is a refurbished office building. Architecturally it is a good achievement; visually it is ordinary and boring. The same company also refurbished an adjacent building, 4-10 Pentonville Road - this building looks much more interesting - much to do with the use of the bespoke brick on the facade. This company, Derwent, take the trouble to go out and about looking for ideas and inspiration - to Chicago, to Denmark for example. They have a more positive attitude towards architecture, but it does not always result in buildings that London deserves. One Oxford Street is not good to look at. The Corner House down Tottenham Court Road way is better, OK, at least not a looming great tower overwhelming adjacent buildings, but not brilliant visually. 80 Charlotte Street - replaces the bland boring block that was occupied by Saatchi and Saatchi, an improvement but even though this is the section of Charlotte Street where the big lumpen buildings are located, it is after all Charlotte Street. Surely they could have been required to break up that monolithic stretch of facade with some brilliant piece of design? For very small infill, consider Levring house in Bloomsbury - there are hundreds of examples of exciting infill houses from all over the world. For tall tall buildings - which should never be just plonked down next to low rise buildings - no to the Can of Ham, no to the hideous Canaletto building - the list goes on and on.
Talk London
Hi all,
Just posting to confirm that we do indeed want to hear from all Londoners with thoughts on what developments should/can look like, given what's needed and the space that there is.
It would of course be great to hear from students and professionals too - but we're seeking thoughts from everyone.
Thanks for all of your contributions so far. Keep them coming!
Talk London Team
Developments should not look like the huge towers proposed for the Bishopsgate goods yard development, the ugly tall infill blocks being squeezed in amongst low height housing in so many places, or like the Swiss Cottage development where some good interesting architecture is being overwhelmed by yet another giant ugly block.
It should smoothly segue with surrounding buildings, leaving space and light for nearby schools and residential properties, without necessarily matching them. It should be of high quality visually as well as structurally, interesting, with verve and daring. Sadly the government has ensured that local people have no control over local development design at all (changes to planning law did nothing to empower locals in this respect). When a local council does manage to say 'no' to some ghastly great lump of boiled banality, the developers just get the Mayor or government to over-ride their decision. And thus do overseas pension funds get profits from investing in these developments, the developers make a fortune from selling or renting high-value accommodation to overseas absentee wealthy folk, and the people of London get nothing. Opportunities for making London the home of iconic and interesting architecture, from large developments to small infills, are continually being passed up.
Ce n'est pas seulement une question de construire plus de logements. On doit assurer que ces logements sont vendus aux les gens qui vont les occuper. Souvent les promoteurs immobiliers construisent des appartements de haut de gamme. Ce ne sont pas des appartements donc les habitants à Londres en ont besoin. Peu de gens pourrait payer des millions de livres pour un appartement. La clientèle de ces « super » appartements sont des riches étrangers at ils souvent laissent les appartements inoccupés. Même si ils décident de les louer, peu de gens pourrait payer le loyer pour ce type d'appartement.
Donc la conclusion est évident – les appartements luxurieux ne servent rien pour assouplir le problème de logement à Londres.
À mon avis il faut y avoir une loi qui interdire le développement des appartements de luxe. Tous les appartements devraient être abordable pour les « moyens » Londoniens.
Talk London
Just a quick, rough translation of this comment (using Google Translate, so quite possibly not perfect):
"This is not just a matter of building more housing . We must ensure that these homes are sold to people who will occupy them.
Often developers build high-end apartments. Not so for the residents apartments in London in need. Few people could pay millions of pounds for an apartment. The customers of these "super" apartments are at wealthy foreigners often leave vacant apartments. Even if they decide to rent them , few people could pay rent for this apartment type.
So the conclusion is obvious - the luxury apartments will serve nothing to soften the housing problem in London.
I think it must be a law that forbid the development of luxury apartments. All apartments should be affordable for "average" Londoners ."
Thanks all,
Talk London Team
That's what I said!
Tonnerre it's a problem for most people that you post in French, could you use English mate?
If we were all taught a language from nursery school onwards, more of us would have no problem with French. I just sling Tonnerre's comments into the ubiquitous online translate thing, and generally get the gist.
Even the small proportion of so-called 'affordable' housing units that councils require property developers to include in their residential developments are beyond ordinary Londoner's financial reach. Some in Camden, at 80% of market price, needed an income of £60,000 to cope with the mortage. Not what the average nurse for example can afford to pay.
There are a lot of 3-storey blocks, in both private and public housing. Some could be suitable for having an extra floor built on top, if the existing tenants/leaseholders agreed. They should of course be given something to compensate for the disruption, and a refurbishment of their flats at the same time.
Those that were changed would have an increase in capacity of 33%.
This is being done quite a lot - but the other way round. When a property owner is refurbishing, they stick an extra floor on top at the same time.
My concern is that even when houses are built they are bought by investors, sometimes off plan before the development is even on site. It doesn't matter how many houses you built if they are not being bought by people who work in the city and live in the communities when these developments are.
I generally support what 'Racooncoat' says but would add that well designed and safe high rise can be still be a good option for some needs with safety factors built in such as concierge and entryphone systems. We also have to address the inbalance of housing in London where hardly any new social housing is being built. There are a lot of innovative ideas in the building and architectural world which could be drawn on.
- accept there is a limit to London's capacity, promote development of workplaces elsewhere.
- avoid creating car-dependent districts, which worsen congestion (e.g. northern Hayes).
- new housing to have secure cycle storage, to promote cycling.
- large developments to have good cycle and public transport access.
- do not repeat 1960's high rise mistakes.
- start with improving/replacing the worst housing, to avoid gentrification due to localised improvements.
To replace the worst housing would mean using compulsory purchase orders to clear swathes of low rise suburbia. Which latter is seriously in need of major re-design, with housing provision increased vertically and more space for green areas, which are very much absent in many suburban swathes.

Euro zone shares set for biggest weekly fall this year with Greece in focus
* Euro STOXX 50 steady but set for biggest weekly drop since Dec
* Sunday's Greek referendum on bailout a major focus
* Banks under the spotlight after more regulatory issues emerge
By Alistair Smout and Liisa Tuhkanen
LONDON, July 3 (Reuters) - A top euro zone share index was set for its biggest weekly fall this year on Friday, with many investors focusing on a crucial vote in Greece over its debt negotiations at the weekend.
The euro zone Euro STOXX 50 index was on track for its worst week since December. The index was down 0.3 percent at 3,451 points, marking a weekly fall of around 4.4 percent since last Friday.
The FTSEurofirst 300 slipped 0.2 percent, also set for its biggest weekly fall since late April, while Germany's DAX equity index was flat.
European stock markets have been hit by concerns over mounting tensions between Greece and its international creditors since the government in Athens announced a surprise referendum on the terms of a new bailout programme.
Ahead of Sunday's vote -- which could determine the country's future in the euro zone -- the two campaigns are finely balanced, with "Yes" supporters of the bailout terms taking a slight lead in the latest poll. Continuación...

What is your attitude toward Sunday morning worship? Is it something you see as nice "if you make it on time"? Do you purposely come in late to avoid it? Or do you see it as an offering to the Lord?
And speaking of attitudes, how do you handle conflict? Do you always have to have the last word in an argument? What does that have to do with foolishness?
Today's Readings:
1 Chronicles 23-25
Psalm 78.40-55
Proverbs 20.3
Acts 9.22-43
Worship, Arguing & Fools
1Chronicles 23, 24, & 22:
How is your worship attitude?
Verse 25.1, "Moreover David and the captains of the army separated for the service some of the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, stringed instruments, and cymbals."
The passage goes on to tell us there were 288 singers, plus musicians and support staff, 4,000 in all! What a music ministry that must have been! There were people singing and praising the Lord all the time!
And when I read the Psalms and other passages of Scripture, it appears to me there is lots of praise and lots of music in heaven. I believe God loves to receive our heartfelt praises often expressed through music and singing.
How do you view that time in the service where the truths of God are being proclaimed through music and song? Do you see it as just the prelude to the service, something to be enjoyed "if you make it on time"? Do you purposely arrive late to avoid it? Or do you see it as a time when you really focus on God and worship Him? Do you allow the words of the songs to penetrate your heart? Do you "think about" and "meditate on" the words you're singing? Or have you allowed it to become "vain repetition"?
Let's ask God to give us a "right spirit" where praise and worship are concerned. Continue reading

turned so quickly
that morning in Paris . . .
your disapproval palpable
as you walked away
despite phrasebooks,
maps and interpreters
how often
we still lose our way
to understanding . . .
you sketch
a stranger's likeness
with such ease –
how I hoped you could learn
to read between the lines
days spent
rehearsing a response –
why do those
who direct my life
now want to write the script
your practised words
sound right, but feel so wrong . . .
sifting through
shattered pots and ashes
left in an empty kiln
dementia steals
my name from her lips –
visiting hours,
relatives complete
the latest jigsaw
piecing together
from rumour and gossip
her final days –
I snake through minutiae
to make some sense
they contest
the unsigned will
. . . promises
we make to each other
but don't intend to keep

Re: Internet Browser not found?!?!
In reply to:
Internet Browser not found?!?!
There were some problems with people trying to get online in Ultimate Family Tree using AOL, but that was back with AOL3.0, as far as I know. I am going to paste in some knowledge base stuff, following this note; but if you have not already done so, exit the UFTree program. Then do the Browser stup up in Windows (Windows.../Start/Programs/Genealogy/ and "Browser setup". If you have problems, let me know and I"ll try to help further.
Why doesn't the Browser setup find my browser?.
The Browser Setup searches for Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer (prior to version 5). It will find these only if there is a Plugins directory in the same directory in which the .EXE file for the browser is located. Use the Windows File search to find either NETSCAPE.EXE or IEXPLORE.EXE and if there is no Plugins directory, create one and run the browser setup again. Consult the Windows manual or online help for information on creating directories. --- Note that there is no longer a browser setup in version 3.0 as the program will automatically use the default browser for your system.
I ran the Browser setup, but I still can't go online. Why?
Find the exact location of the browser you normally use to access the Internet and rerun the Ultimate Family Tree Browser setup to make sure that you have the correct browser selected. This will not be a problem in Version 3.0 because the default browser is used to go online.

The Reel World
In spite of Jennifer Anistons pitiful performance in The Bounty Hunter and James Camerons inexplicable Best Director Oscar loss for Avatar, we still have hope for the movie industry.
Arizona State Universitys rising film stars will compete for cash and prizes at the 5th Annual Student Film Festival. The event features shorts created by ASU Film and Media Production program students that are hand picked by the faculty.
Audience members will see a wide range of short films, from documentaries to dramas to comedies to demo and cinematography reels, all of which explore a full range of the curriculum at ASU, says program director F. Miguel Valenti.
Films under ten minutes are also eligible for the Audience Choice Awards, which are just like the Oscars -- minus the fame, glory, and cool statue.

Histories of Desire(1995)
A collection of poems by Ron Butlin
Ron Butlin is one of Scotland's most original authors, a poet, playwright, novelist, short story writer and opera librettist whose books have been translated into many languages. "The best, most productive Scottish poet of his generation". -- Douglas Dunn. "A romantic who seasons his fancies with wit and parody...a convincing poet of human love". -- Peter Porter. His poems are concerned with what lies just beyond our reach or else is hidden too deep within each of us to be expressed in any other way. These particular Histories of Desire emerge in often fanciful response to the demands of love, friendship, bereavement, travel, and always desire.

God's Number One Draft Pick (1 of 6) by Jeff Schreve
This content is part of a series.God's #1 Draft Pick (1 of 6)
Series: Heartbeat
Pastor Jeff Schreve
1 Samuel 16
Well, I'm starting a new series today entitled, "Heartbeat: Becoming a Person after God's Own Heart." Today, I want to speak to you on this subject, "God's #1 Draft Pick."
Now there's a lot being said about the draft coming up on April 29th. After the Rose Bowl, people began to talk about the NFL draft and the Big 3. You have Reggie Bush, who won the Heisman Trophy this year. You have Matt Leinart, the quarterback of USC, who won the Heisman Trophy last year. And you have Vince Young, the most valuable player in the National Championship game; the man who, undoubtedly, would have won the Heisman Trophy this year had they waited until after the Rose Bowl to vote for the Heisman Trophy. I mean, we'd all agree with that, wouldn't we? But people wonder who's going to be number one. The Houston Texans, that powerhouse down south, they have the number one pick. Are they going to take Bush? Are they going to take Leinart? Or are they going to take the hometown boy, Vince Young? Who will be the number one pick? You know, coaches spend a lot of time, in college and pro, trying to figure out who we're going to pick for our team.
I heard a story about a college football coach. And he was talking to one of the recruiting coaches. His name was Mike. And it was Mike's first year. And he was telling Mike what kind of a player they wanted to get for their team. He said, "Mike, do you know, there is a kind of a guy, you knock him down and he stays down." Mike says, "Coach, we don't want that guy, do we?" He said, "No, Mike, we don't want that guy."
He said, "But, Mike, there's a kind of guy, you knock him down, and he gets back up. You mow him down again and he stays down." He said, "Coach, we don't want that guy, do we?" He said, "No, Mike, we don't want him." But he said, "Mike, there is a kind of a player, you knock him down, he gets back up. You knock him down, he gets back up. Y ...

How to download video from Dailymotion?

) and press "Get direct link";
3. When your link (link to a file) will be found - press the link "Get direct link" (under the form) the right mouse button and select in the menu "Save link as..."
4. Some of the dailymotion services do not provide you with the real name of the video file.
So, you will need to rename a file before or after saving (for example:
Use for example: VLC Player for video playback (.flv and others).
What video formats can I download?
You can download videos in FLV, MP4, WebM, MOV or 3GP (mobile) formats depending on the video provider.
For example, you can download from Dailymotion in MP4 format.
For Dailymotion videos in high quality - available MP4 video file in HD resolution (or Full HD - depends on a videoclip).
From what sites I can download video?
supports only Dailymotion links yet.
How to play FLV video?

. You will need a special player. For this:
- Choose a video player, allowing to play video in
You can choose any videoplayer from
Or you can download and install, for example the free
VLC Media Player
or the free
GOM Player
find any other videoplayer.
How long does it take to download Dailymotion video?
It depends on how big the Dailymotion video is and depends on the speed of your computer and the speed of your connection.
How to rename saved file to .flv?
To change to
, find your downloaded file and rename the file extension from
) to
extension in the filename (if the file has been saved for example as "videofile
" or "videofile
If the file has been saved for example as "videofile
" - that it's possible to rename the filename, having cleaned unnecessary
from the name to receive correct extension in the end of the filename ("videofile
If there is no extension, then just add
in the end of a filename (for example here so: "videofile
Probably you will need to enable display of the File Extension if the full name of a file isn't visible to you:
- In Windows in any folder on your hard drive go to "Tools" (preliminary having pressed button Alt for occurrence of the top menu, if it's hidden) > "Folder options" > "View" tab then scroll down to "Hide extensions for known file types" and uncheck that box.
Click "ok" to save changes. Now you should see the file extension which you can rename.
How this site works and what is it?
The task of this site - to try to find Direct Link on a videoclip for saving it on your device.
You insert the address of page with a videoclip, and
tries to find and detect a Direct Link to a video-file for downloading to your device.
Please, do not forget that the videoclip has a lawful legal owner.
Is DailymotionFile.com free to use?
Yes. It's absolutely free.
Why could not find any download links?
I can watch the video on the video page - without problems, but your site says, that "Could not find any download links or site not supported". Why?
The Search Algorithm of Direct Links for each site is different. Therefore, the direct link can not be found on some pages where there is videoclip.
More details
Why the extension (.flv) of downloaded file - is not installed at once?
Why sometimes video files are saved without ".flv extension? I need to rename it manually.
tries to find and detect Direct Link available to downloading. But a video file is hosted not on our server. I.e. a video file hosted on other server of video-hosting. And so the remote server of a video hosting defines the File Extension independently.
I can not download a video file. Downloading is boken :-(
When I try to download a file, downloading is boken and it's necessary to download again. Why?
It depends not on DailymotionFile.com.
The video file hosted on other server of video-hosting. Therefore you are downloading video file not from us.
Probably site of video-service (where the videoclip is hosted) is overloaded. Try to download video again later...
Also if the Internet is very slow, stability of downloading isn't guaranteed.
The video file isn't saved and automatically starts playing in the browser :-(
When I download the videoclip, automatically starts playing. How to save videoclip without auto-playing?
Try to save a videoclip through right click and select "Save link as...".
The downloaded video file "doesn't work" :-(
I downloaded a file through this site, but to play it's impossible, why?
If the downloaded videoclip doesn't work, it's possible:
1. For the saved file the extension not ".flv". Try to rename a file to "videofile.flv".
2. Probably the videoplayer, capable to lose to FLV-video is not installed. Try to install other videoplayer.

Food and Fund Drive
Cause Areas

Where2401 Aluminum AveHampton, VA 23661
The Foodbank depends on food and monetary donations that are donated from food and fund drives that are coordinated throughout the community. If you can not volunteer at the Foodbank facility or at an event, another great way to volunteer is to coordinate a food drive at your church, local grocery store, school, business, in your neighborhood to collect food that is needed for the thousands of children, seniors, and low-income working families who struggle to put food on the tables for their families.
The Foodbank's food distribution programs help provide food for those families who are food insecure in our community.
A toolkit with helpful hints and a list of the most needed items will be provided.
Food will need to be delivered to the Foodbank upon completion of the food drive.
For more information, you can visit www.hrfoodbank.org or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Marilyn Manson Quotes About ChristianityQuotes about: Christianity
Whether you interpret the Bible as literature or as the final word of whatever God may be, Christianity has given us an image of death and sexuality that we have based our culture around. A half-naked dead man hangs in most homes and around our necks, and we have just taken that for granted all of our lives.
Donohue: "It is Christianity that [Manson] hates, and it is Catholicism that he hates most of all. This guy is at war with Christ." Manson: "I can't possibly be at war with Christ, because your religion killed him and what he stood for. But if you want to be at war with me, bring it on."
People are very surprised to hear me say that a lot of my values are Christian values. I think that's part of my shock. I just don't like the way that Christianity combined with the influence of television has bred a nation of weakness. (Christian television do get the facts wrong sometimes and the image they portray turns most people off.)

Carters Lake, the deepest of Georgia's reservoir lakes, is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains in both Gilmer and Murray County. It was named after Farrish Carter who lived in the 19th century. It has a surface area of 3,200 acres (13 km2) and has 62 miles (100 km) of shoreline. Carters Lake has an average depth of 200 feet (61 m) and is also more than 450 feet (140 m) deep.[1]
Carters Lake, owned by the US Army Corps of Engineers, is a man-made lake without private docks or houses along its shore.[1] This lake is fed by the Coosawattee River that runs between Ellijay and Chatsworth. Carters Dam, the tallest earthen dam east of the Mississippi, was completed in 1977. Since then, it has been used to act as a watershed to control annual flooding and generate power.[2] Carters Lake is also used for various forms of outdoor recreation such as fishing, water skiing, hiking, camping, and mountain biking.[2]

The owners were willing to do anything to make us happy. They were very kind and helpful. The beds were perfect as they were not too soft and not too hard but offered just the right amount of support. No extra pillows or blankets. Fancy shower fixture was cheap and confusing to use. Difficult to get suitcases up the spiral staircase.
location, the rooms that was renovated was nice poor breakfast, not renovated bathrooms, we arrive at 12:00 but we had to wait oven an hour because our room wasn' t ready. This is not very nice when you haven' t sleep - the ship arrived at Lesvos at 8:00 and we where at Chios port from 04:30-. The hotel appears to be something that its not. The 85 euro per night, for a twin room was a lot for what the hotel offered -get with you shampoo and shower gel because the hotel doesn' t provide them-. We asked for recipe for our stay but we never got one
very good location, right in the middle of the island, you can easily reach to east and west of the island, 5 minutes walk to the beach, clean rooms, very helpful and sincere staff
The Staff Need more pillows
Very nice play to stay, in walking distance from the centre of the small village with several shops and nice restaurants. Hotel staff is very helpfull. Nice swimming pool available.
Clean and friendly good location no
Hospitality no double bed
This is a fantastic hotel. We had so much great time there.The hotel is owned by a family and they are lovely people. They did all they can to ensure a relaxed and a pleasant stay. They're so friendly and nice people. The hotel is very close to a nice beach (about 250 meters) and a variety of small shops, Tavernas, restaurants are available near the hotel, which is a great advantage. Skalla Kallonis is so far the best place for a family in Lesbos and if you go there, Imerti Resort is the best hotel I've ever seen in that area so I definately recommend there.. Many thanks to everybody at Imerti who made our holiday special and lovely.
Very pleasant - hotel is basic and apartment like; attentive staff and value for monet
We stayed at Aphrodite Beach Hotel during August 2009. What a wonderful experience! The hotel is situated exactly of the best beach of Lesvos island. The owners of the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful during our entire holdiay. Right next to the hotel the owners grow their own organic garden which caters to the hotel's restaurant. The menu and taste of their meals were incredible. The vegetables were so tasty and cooked in a traditional way by the owners mother also using their own grown olive oil. We have never eaten better Greek food before! The hotel's breakfast was also very good. They had fresh home made cakes and a nice continental selection. The area which we ate breakfast was very warm and cosy. For a 3 star hotel we were extemely satisfied with everything.
The beach in front of the hotel is very nice. Nice natural restaurant on the seaside. The hotel is not luxorius but has almost everything necessary. The rooms are neat and comfortable. The personnel is helpful.
Our stay at aphrodite beach hotel was a wonderful experience.To begin with,the location was amazing,as the hotel was exactly on the beach and we had a wonderful view from our room,wich was very chic and had a nice size.Also, the food was delicious and the menu included a wide range οf local greek dishes.The servise was excelent and the family very hospitable.
Our entire experience was wonderfull. The staff and owners made us feel like part of their family. The location is beautiful and tranquil. The food is homemade and is delicious. The owners take pride in what they do.
This was our 1st trip to Greece. My family and I decided to go to the island of Lesvos. We tried to feel out hotels by reading online descriptions. After many days of online research, we decided to book at Aphrodite Hotel. It was the best decision we made. The island is Beautiful but staying this hotel made our vacation amazing. We are now back from vacation but I wanted to make time to write this review so others don't have to struggle like us to find a remarkable hotel. If you want an unforgettable vacation, look no further!
Aphrodite Hotel is one of the best hotels I've stayed at, not only in Greece, but in Europe. It is beautifully located across from the beach. The staff is extremely friendly and the food is incredible. I highly recommend this hotel. You will not regret it. It is ideal for families, couples, and singles alike. Whether you enjoy partying or relaxing, Aphrodite Hotel is the place to stay!!!
The hospitality! The shower curtain was a little short, so we always ended up with a flooded bathroom.
aphrodite hotel is a very warm and friendly hotel,very clean and in a very beautiful location where you can relax and enjoy the excellent greek hospitality.also the food in aphrodite tavern was delicious. everything was perfect for a family three star hotel
excellent hotel,excellent location,excellent stuff
Not a lot, as when you come out of the hotel you only had a joyce of going left or right and nothing at the end of it, you could only walk, as bus'es was not very regular, and taxies was expensive as you was miles from any where, the beach would not get a blue flag in uk. its not sand as you are lead to beleave from write up, its stoney. you only got a choice of two shops to get anything you want.. We could see why the hotel is a two star, you had the same for breakfast every day, no choice, ham,cheese,bread,boiled eggs,cake & cereals if any body was staying for two weeks, they would be sick of this. we paid for two evening meals there, both times the food was disgusting. and prices are very dear for what you get, you could not exchange money at the hotel as stated on board outside, or anywhere in Vetra, you had to go by taxie which cost 20 Euro return to get money. this was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in for the price payed. the only good thing in Vetra was one hundred yards down the road where we had the rest of our meals the food was lovely and they could not do enough for you. (Grilled restaurant ) .
The relaxed and unassuming atmoshpere helped make this an enjoyable hotel for vacations. I would consider returning.
the family that runs the hotel are wonderful and helpful
They went above and beyond what was expected, we were treated like guests in their home.
Quiet surroundings, large room. Free internet access. Breakfast was not too crash hot.
The owners of the hotel were very friendly and helpful. The general setting of the hotel made for a very enjoyable break.
excellent breakfast helpful staff excellent swimming pool no
The location close enough to the village and the size of the room. The breakfast meal was monotonous, did not vary and was often sparse on content. Not enough fruit or vegetables.
The hotel manager was absolutely lovely! Breakfast was varied and delicious. It is not 25 km to Skala Eressos from Skala Kalonis as booking.com had advertised - but instead it is 49 km. Very different.
This is a wonderful hotel. Very clean, extremely well run by a very friendly family who fall over themselves to help with anything you need. The situation is excellent the rooms are very large and have everything you need. They are beautifully decorated and lovely to return to after a long day on the beach. The breakfast was lovely with a great deal of choice and dining is outside should you wish. Would not hesitate to return to this hotel again. Certainly the best we have seen on the island. Faultless!

Old English hraþor "more quickly, earlier, sooner," also "more readily," comparative of hraþe, hræþe "quickly, hastily, promptly, readily, immediately," which is related to hræð "quick, nimble, prompt, ready," from Proto-Germanic *khratha- (cf. Old Norse hraðr, Old High German hrad), from PIE *kret- "to shake." The base form rathe was obsolete by 18c. except in poetry (Tennyson); superlative rathest fell from use by 17c. Meaning "more willingly" is recorded from c.1300; sense of "more truly" is attested from late 14c.

The controversy erupted when Hair and fellow umpire Billy Doctrove imposed a five-run penalty on Pakistan for allegedly tampering with the ball.
In his column in The Nation headlined ''Hair the Hitler does it again'' Imran wrote that Hair's brash and provocative manner made him the main culprit in letting things go out of hand.
''Hair is one of those characters when he wears the white umpire's coat, he metamorphoses into a mini Hitler,'' Imran wrote.
''During my career I had seen such umpires who want to make their presence felt on the field. You could say these are umpiring fundamentalists.'' Imran also called for an independent inquiry on Hair and said if it is found that he made the allegation without solid evidence he should be taken off the international panel of umpires.
''Pakistan cricket team should also sue him for defamation unless he offers an unconditional apology,'' the world cup-winning captain said.
Imran also expressed dismay on Inzamam-ul-Haq's handling of the situation. ''Inzamam should have reacted far sooner than he did. Had I been in Ingi's place, I would have taken a stand right there and then when Hair decided to change the ball and accused the Pakistanis of ball-tampering. I would never have meekly accepted Hair's judgement the way Inzamam did.'' Former captain and coach Intikhab Alam said the umpire should have had proof to support his decision.
''Inzamam should have taken the decision of leaving the ground at that very moment when the umpires decided to change the ball or he should have kept on playing as Pakistan were in a winning position,'' Alam was quoted as saying by Daily Times.
In another column in The Nation headlined ''Pakistan in the cross Hair'', former captain and now commentator Rameez Raja called Hair a ''racist'' and villain of the piece.
''The pride of an entire people has been tarnished by his ludicrous and highly insensitive decision,'' Rameez wrote.
He said ICC's rigid stance on appointing Hair for sub- continental against the wishes of cricket boards of India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka had backfired.
''Hair has never tried to make friends with the sub-continental players to have a good atmosphere. And players from the sub-continent universally feel that he is biased, even to the extent of being a racist.'' Nearly all the newspapers criticised Hair for accusing the Pakistan team of cheating.
The Daily Times front-page story carried the headline: ''Hair's biased decision mars Oval Test match.'' A lead story with a picture of Hair removing the bails in the Dawn said, ''Hair-raising row turns Oval Test on its head.'' The News accused Hair of having a bias against Pakistan.
''What is involved here is Pakistan's image and self-respect and Hair's ruling casts a shadow on the reputation of the country.
It is seriously time to examine the possibility of taking this man to a court of law. Enough is enough. The Darrell Hair problem now has to be addressed and it does not look as if there is much hope that ICC will do so,'' wrote its correspondent Shahed Sadullah.
The paper even went on to accuse ICC of inaction.
''It is quite clear that one cannot hope for much in the form of redress from the ICC; if the ICC had not been pursuing extra cricketing agendas, they would not have appointed Hair in the first place after Pakistan had clearly spelt it out that they did not have confidence in this man.''

Concierge service in dentistry should be the norm, but at the moment, it is a rare and special treatment, offered only by top notch practices such as West Hills Smiles. Dr. Hakimzadeh's message to new patients is, "Simply put yourself in the hands of the concierge, relax and don't worry about anything. The only thing you should be concerned about is enjoying yourself. If you want something, please ask." Concierge service at West Hills Smiles encompasses every step of the process, from making an appointment with your patient care coordinator, to leaving the office following a procedure.

We'll set up your appointment, arrange a car and driver, prepare a special drink, put on your music playlist, or even stock your favorite magazine. No request is too small or too large. Really."

The Malta-based site revealed that this was the result of a recent study it conducted as only 20 of the 500 international participants had ever hard of the 'Linden'. In addition, only two of these communicated an interest in using the virtual currency to play on BackgammonMasters.com.
The site concluded that its players are not willing to use the 'Linden' currency in lieu of more traditional types as participants cited playing for non-virtual currencies as more enticing than using the virtual brand for game transactions including making bets and withdrawing winnings.
As part of the survey, BackgammonMasters.com stated that any 'Linden' winnings could be cashed out for real currencies including Hong Kong, Canadian, Australian and American dollars, British Pounds, Czech Koruna, Danish Kroner, Hungarian Forint, Japanese Yen, Norwegian Krone, Polish Zloty, Swedish Krona, Swiss Franc and the South African Rand.
BackgammmonMasters.com stated that customers make deposits and withdrawals in their native currencies on the site, eliminating poor exchange rates and high bank charges. In addition, multi-currency deposits are acceptable and converted automatically by the site into US currency that can then be used to play backgammon, poker, blackjack and perudo.

text: Politics 28 November 2011 Gove ramps up anti-strike rhetoric. But he didn't always feel this way The Education Secretary condemns "industrial strife" -- but a photograph shows him on a picket line Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML The coalition is ramping up the anti-strike rhetoric today, with Michael Gove set to condemn union bosses as "militants, hardliners itching for a fight". The Education Secretary will deliver a speech in which he will say: They want families to be inconvenienced. They want mothers to give up a day's work, or pay for expensive childcare, because schools will be closed. They want teachers and other public sector workers to lose a day's pay in the run-up to Christmas. They want scenes of industrial strife on our TV screens; they want to make economic recovery harder; they want to provide a platform for confrontation just when we all need to pull together. So far, so Tory -- but has Gove always felt this way? No, he hasn't, as a photograph published by the People last March demonstrated. It shows a young Gove on strike as a trainee reporter at a newspaper in Aberdeen, smiling widely as he holds up a sign saying "Official picket, don't cross": Gove, clearly aware that this picture could potentially undermine his anti-union stance, will address it in today's speech: I'm speaking out today because I know what it's like to go on strike because some people at the top of a Union leadership wanted to prove a point. I lost my job. So did more than one hundred others. I was lucky - young, unmarried, without a mortgage. I got another job soon enough. Many others didn't. They never worked again in the profession they loved. And the deal we were offered before the strike never improved. The cynical among us might note that Gove doesn't exactly look like he's under duress in the photograph. On a serious note, he clearly hopes to use his own experience to underscore the different between the moderate majority and the militant leadership of the unions. However, given that this strike will include many traditionally non-militant professionals, like headteachers, this might not stick. › Egypt elections: in pictures Samira Shackle is a freelance journalist, who tweets @samirashackle.

The 60s Have Called, on that big clunky pinkish-yellow rotary phone that hung on the wall like a heavy plastic brick. Civil Rights. The Freedom Rides. The Voting Rights Act. The Fair Housing Act. The March from Selma to Montgomery and the Edmund Pettus bridge. Change. The Vietnam draft. Conscientious objection. Burning your draft card and going to Canada. Music. Janis Joplin. Phil Ochs. Jimi Hendrix. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band. Woodstock. Being barefoot in Berkeley and passing out flowers. The 60s were a time of change, and some would say we haven't been the same since. I've chosen, with these colors, to remember music and band posters and the color palette that started to show up in dens and kitchens across the country.
HaldeCraft HandDyed yarns started life in 2007 in a small yarn store in Gainesville, Florida (Hanks Yarn and Fiber) and was then called "Perhaps Today is a Good Day to Dye". It has continued online as HaldeCraft HandDyed since 2011, and is hand-dyed and lovingly re-skeined in a small home studio by someone who loves the fiber arts just as much as you do. If you are looking for photos of yarn colorways or finished objects and are on Ravelry, you can find my yarn in their database; just look for "HaldeCraft HandDyed".
All of my yarns are hand-dyed singly or in batches of two. If you would like to order for a large project, please contact me and I will be more than happy to dye your order with every attempt to get each skein as matching as possible. However, as with all hand-dyes (not just my own) I recommend working from alternating balls on larger projects as even yarns dyed at the same time may not be perfectly matched.
This yarn was dyed in a smoke-free, but not pet-free studio; however, once dyed it is kept sealed in bags inside bins which studio dogs do not have access to.

They moved everything tight but carefully and I appreciate that they used runners, blankets, foam and plastic where needed.
