Last year David Thompson warned us of the dangers of racist hair. Today, I bring you news of racist dance.
Or, as the headline put it,
Why I can't stand white belly dancers
This isn't racist, mind. The writer is a Woman of Colour and, as such, is entitled to use any racial epithets and repeat any racial tropes she cares to. Her complaint is summed up in the phrase 'cultural appropriation', or as she puts it:
[White] Women I have confronted about this have said, "But I have been dancing for 15 years! This is something I have built a huge community on." These women are more interested in their investment in belly dancing than in questioning and examining how their appropriation of the art causes others harm. To them, I can only say, I'm sure there are people who have been unwittingly racist for 15 years. It's not too late. Find another form of self-expression. Make sure you're not appropriating someone else's.
Only Arab women can belly dance.
Only ethnic Indians can cook with garam masala.
Only English people can Morris dance.
Only Hindus can use the number zero.
I'm pleased to report that even at Salon where this was published, she's getting monstered in the comments.
UPDATE: Volokh also discusses this.

SummaryCaleb has lost his touch
The GoodBlood II came out around during a great year of FPS-making, which brought us such great titles as Half-Life and SiN. It was also released around the same time as Shogo; both games were being developed by Monolith simultaneously. These two games have a lot in common. They were the company's first fully 3D FPSs, a testing ground for their new Lithtech engine. While Shogo was by far the more advanced, experimental game, Blood II is a more traditionally designed, thoroughly old-school shooter in the same vein as its great predecessor.
At first sight, Blood II is essentially more of the same. Once again, you control the awesome protagonist Caleb, and once again, he'll crack wise about things he sees, his enemies, and your decisions. Unlike the first game with its "retro horror" theme, Blood II is set in a dark, futuristic city, ruled by the ruthless Cabalco company.
Blood II offers a great variety of locations. You never know where it might take you next. The addition of sci-fi element allows a wider range of different scenarios; but of course, the familiar urban environments and the dark crypts of the original game are also there. From a mundane subway station to depressing sewer passages, creepy research facility, museum, and such interesting levels as the cathedral, Blood II delivers a fine collection of diverse levels. Every time I was near a level completion, I found myself curious to know what the next level will look like.
Like the first game, Blood II is full of black humor. Exploring every nook and cranny of a level often leads to hilarious scenes, messages or conversations containing delightfully evil jokes. Blood II walks the humorous path further than its predecessor; despite the macabre environments, amusing scenes are quite frequent. The game now has cutscenes done with in-game graphics, and some of them are surprisingly entertaining (of course, in a campy, idiotic way, but that was the point!). In fact, the story of Blood II is rather well-developed for a game of its type, with several key characters from the previous game appearing and acting during cutscenes and interacting with Caleb. Of course, the story is simplistic and messy, like in most FPSs, but the premises of a huge world-controlling corporation that grew out of an underground cult, the dangers of experimenting with dark powers and alike, etc., are enough to keep things going. Of course, the narrative also owes its success to the dark "anti-hero" protagonist, who is quite attractive in his own way, and definitely more enjoyable to control than the boring Gordon Freeman or the moron Sanjuro from Shogo.
The enemies in Blood II are either faceless Cabalco soldiers, or monsters, whose appearance is a plot point in the game. I must say that the new monsters are really very well-done; particularly horrifying is that little leech-like creature that leaps out of the water and begins to gnaw at Caleb's face. This was one of the most scary, disgusting monsters I've ever encountered in an FPS, up there with the spiders of Strife and the headcrabs of Half-Life.
Blood II has a huge variety of weapons, perhaps the largest one of any FPS ever. All the favorites from the first Blood (fire gun, voodoo doll, tesla canon, etc.) are back, with a lot of new high-tech stuff to toy with. Nearly each weapon has two fire modes, and some weapons can be used in pairs. There are also some interesting gadgets to use, such as for example The Eye, which allows you to look through walls.
Blood II looks good. I don't know how anyone could have considered it ugly when it first came out. The graphics of Blood II are technically much more impressive than the first game. The difference is so big that it's hard to believe only about a year has passed between the two. Twelve years after its release, it is clear that Blood II has aged well.
The BadBlood II shares a lot of its flaws with Shogo. Both games leave the impression of something not quite finished, something unpolished, with too much attention paid to the new engine and not enough to gameplay depth. But while Shogo can at least boast unusual features, Blood II is as generic as it gets in overall structure.
The variety of weapons is enormous, yet only a few feel really satisfying. The new enemies are cool and scary, yet their AI is awful. The levels are varied, yet their design is not always optimal, and needless back-tracking causes eyebrow-raising. This can apply pretty much to everything the game does; there is a certain negative side to everything it does well. And there is, unfortunately, nothing outstanding about it. It is as if the game lacks that certain extra that would propel it above other games of its type.
Blood II had to deal with a problem that plagued many sequels in different kinds of art and entertainment: it is not as good as the first game. Sure, it looks better, and at first sight it takes in everything that made the first game so cool; but somehow, a lot of the magic has been lost in transition. The atmosphere is less convincing, the wonderful interactivity is all but gone, graphical detail is less intricate, and overall the sequel is inferior in most aspects that truly matter. I imagine that was the primary cause for the disappointment and the resulting harsh reviews by fans of the original game.
Otherwise, it's hard to pin-point severe flaws that truly cripple the game. It simply fails to bring anything new on the table. Blood II really had a hard time competing with all those great FPSs that came out around the same time. Each one of them, even Shogo, did something special, while Blood II didn't. At the time when every other shooter and its cousin were madly trying to push the genre forward, Blood II offered nothing but the tried-and-true campy, atmospheric FPS fun. This doesn't diminish the enjoyment that can be derived from the game, but with so much competition, there are few compelling reasons to go back to it.

I have a
resource_manager class which maintains a
std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<resource> > internally.
resource_manager is a friend class of
resource. I want
resources to only be created/deleted by
resource_manager, so I made its constructors private (which works ok).
However, if I make the destructor private, the code doesn't compile because the destructor is called by
boost::shared_ptr, which is not a friend of
resource. I am thinking of enforcing the "do not delete by clients" rule by only returning only
const resource* from the
resource_manager, but somehow I am not satisfied with the security this method provides (what if a client somehow happens across a pointer to non-const?)
Apart from the obvious solution of not using
shared_ptr, do you have any workaround / better solution to my problem?

text: Posted June 26, 2013 Here is the question...if this draft is such a crap shoot then why are people so against drafting someone 5 spots higher than an alternate possibility. Is 4 really that different from 9? In this draft if I had the #1 pick, I was Rich Cho and my guy was Cody Zeller, then I wouldn't hesitate to choose him. The draft isn't crap, it's just not top heavy with superstar talent. Four really isn't different from nine based on talent but their is a huge difference in potential from four to nine. With guys like Zeller and Olynyk, you know exactly what you're getting. Then you have guys like Len, McLemore, Porter, and Noel who are already decent players but they have way more potential then a guy you are going to get at nine.

Engelder said he believes the industry should work more closely with opponents and give them detailed explanations of the geology, the risks and the benefits of drilling. "I would do whatever it took to try and engage these people over a period of time," he said.
But some industry critics are skeptical.
"You can't change the spots on a leopard," said Jim Switzer, a Dimock resident who says drilling ruined his water. "They would spend a billion dollars to say they weren't responsible for something rather than spend a couple million dollars of taking care of who they screwed."
Another drilling critic who battled Colorado's Encana Oil & Gas for 10 years over its work around his property said he was angered not only by noise and pollution but also by industry attitudes.
"Those people moved into our valley like a conquering army," said Thomas Thompson, who complained that the heavy equipment that accompanied drilling in Rifle, Colo., created endless dust storms that caused health problems for him and his wife.
Thompson said he's never said the U.S. shouldn't develop natural gas resources, just that it should be done responsibly. After years of asking government agencies and the industry to address the problems, Thompson and his wife relocated to Texas and settled a lawsuit over his claims.
The company said Thompson essentially "did not like having oil and gas activity on his property."
"We realize that this is sometimes the case, particularly if an individual doesn't have mineral rights and receives no economic benefit from our presence and activity," Encana spokesman Doug Hock said in an email. "Generally, we're able to reach some sort of accommodation. In other cases, such as this one, it's not possible."
Despite the anger from some critics, Hofmeister thinks many in the industry are "rather unemotional" about the opposition.
"It's a big world," Hofmeister said. "The industry will move on to where it will be successful."

5pm: Cleveland accused rapist, kidnapper arrested
Cleveland accused rapist, kidnapper arrested
CALIFORNIAMARTY: Why TRUMP FOR POTUS 24 Cases of Migrant Sexual Assault At Music Festival LEIPZIG, GERMANY - JANUARY 11: Supporters of the right-wing populist group Pegida march on the first anniversary of its Leipzig affiliate, called Legida, on January 11, 2016 in Leipzig, Germany. Pegida and other right-wing activists have been quick to latch on to the New Year's Eve sex attacks in Cologne. Over 100 women have filed charges of sexual molestation, robbery and in two cases, rape, stemming from aggressive groping and other behavior by gangs of drunken men described as Arab or North African at Hauptbahnhof on New Year's Eve. Police have recently stated that at least some of the men identified so far are refugees, which is feeding the propaganda of right-wing groups opposed to Germany's open-door refugee policy. Germany took in approximately 1.1 million migrants and refugees in 2015. Bremen police have admitted that they have at least 24 alleged sexual assault investigations open following a cultural festival where women say they were sexually harassed by young migrant men. "Breminale" is a multi-day festival in the city of Bremen designed to celebrate the different cultures in the city. Police have revealed that some have used the festival as an excuse to harass and sexually assault at least 24 young German girls. The perpetrators are all said to be asylum seekers and authorities say they currently have 5 suspects, all Afghan nationals aged 17-18. The migrants are said to have committed the crimes in broad daylight, reports German broadcaster ARD. Guns?

And where the "rubber meets the road", the lightweight TFX outsole provides rugged, aggressive traction, ensuring you're able to mobilize with confidence on just about any terrain. Approved for optional wear for the U.S. Army per AR670-1.Ground support:

David Cunningham Biography (Wikipedia)
David Cunningham (born 1954, Ireland) is a musician and producer who lives and works in London. Cunningham's work has ranged from pop music to gallery installations, including work for television, film, contemporary dance, and a number of collaborations with visual artists. His first significant success came with The Flying Lizards' single 'Money', an international hit in 1979.
Since 1993 he has created a continuing series of installation works based on real time exploration of acoustics. 'The Listening Room', Biennale of Sydney (1998) was followed by two installation works in "Days Like These", The Tate Triennial of Contemporary British Art, Tate Britain 2003 and subsequent installations at ICC Tokyo, Ikon Birmingham and Camden Arts Centre London.
David Cunningham studied at Maidstone College of Art, one of the first students to join David Hall's pioneering Time-Based course within the Fine Art department. His degree exhibition consisted entirely of work in sound, a happy way to graduate from a visual arts college. Cunningham's involvement in art education has continued over subsequent years, lecturing in many Fine Art departments and holding the positions of Research Fellow at both University of Newcastle and London College of Communication and Visiting Professor at the Royal College of Art.

The opening sex scene with Blake Mitchell and Rod Fontana plays well, with a deliberate pace and a feeling of intimacy, but after this promising start the video falls apart like a house of cards. A potentially clever plot is never developed. Ron Jeremy adds some spark, but not enough. The overlong centerpiece, a 27-minute two-couple sequence, taxes the patience of both performers and observers.

China's Stocks Fall Most in Two Weeks on Global Growth Concern
China's stocks fell, with the benchmark index dropping the most in two weeks, on signs the global recovery is slowing and as investors speculated the government will introduce a property tax.
Jiangxi Copper Co. and China Shenhua Energy Co. paced declines by raw-material producers as commodity prices slid. China Southern Airlines Co. lost 3.9 percent on concern shrinking trade will curb demand for air travel. China Vanke Co., the country's biggest listed property developer, dropped the most in three months after the Xinhua News Agency reported the government is studying a property tax.
"China's economy is facing great downward pressure because of weaker demand at home and abroad," said Zhang Ling, a fund manager at Shanghai River Fund Management Co. "Stocks probably have yet to fully price in this scenario and investors should use that as an excuse to take profits."
The Shanghai Composite Index, which tracks the bigger of China's stock exchanges, lost 53.73, or 2 percent, to close at 2,596.58, the biggest decline since Aug. 10. The CSI 300 Index slumped 2.4 percent to 2,843.02.
The Shanghai gauge has rebounded 9.8 percent from this year's low on July 5 as investors speculated the government would ease restrictions on real estate and allow more lending to counter a weaker economy. That's pared this year's loss to 21 percent, after the government increased down-payment requirements on home sales and ordered banks to set aside more deposits as reserves.
U.S., Japan Data
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index yesterday tumbled 1.5 percent to the lowest in seven weeks. Purchases of U.S. existing houses plunged by a record 27 percent in July to a 3.83 million annual pace, the lowest in a decade of record keeping and worse than the most pessimistic forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News, figures from the National Association of Realtors showed. The U.S. accounts for about 20 percent of China's exports.
Japan's overseas shipments advanced 23.5 percent in July from a year earlier, less than June's 27.7 percent, the Finance Ministry said today in Tokyo.
"Uncertainty over the strength of the global economy will add to concerns among local investors about China's growth," said Sun Chao, an analyst at Citic Securities Co. in Shanghai.
Slowing China growth would curb demand for commodities. The country is the world's biggest consumer of raw materials such as coal and steel. Jiangxi Copper, China's biggest producer of the metal, fell 1.2 percent to 28.49 yuan. Shenhua, the nation's biggest coal producer, retreated 2.9 percent to 23.79 yuan. Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd., the listed unit of nation's biggest maker of the lightweight metal and also called Chalco, dropped 2.6 percent to 10 yuan.
Airlines Drop
The London Metal Exchange Index of six metals including copper and zinc lost 1.6 percent yesterday, the lowest since July 27. Crude oil for October delivery dropped 2 percent to $71.63 a barrel, the lowest settlement since June 7, in New York.
China Southern, the nation's biggest carrier by fleet size, dropped 3.9 percent to 7.11 yuan. China Eastern Airlines Corp., the second largest, retreated 3.2 percent to 7.31 yuan.
Air China Ltd. slid 2.2 percent to 11.39 yuan. A Henan Airlines flight crashed late yesterday in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang, killing at least 42 people on board. Air China controls Shenzhen Airlines, which in turn owns Henan Air, according to Huang Bin, a spokesman for Air China.
Vanke led declines for developers, falling 4 percent to 8.50 yuan, its biggest drop since May 17. Poly Real Estate Group Co., China's second-largest developer by market value, retreated 3.6 percent to 12.14 yuan. Gemdale Corp., the fourth largest, dropped 3.4 percent to 6.56 yuan.
Property Tax
China is still studying property tax and plans to introduce real estate tax reform, Xinhua reported yesterday citing Xu Lin, director of the finance department at the National Development and Reform Commission. Xu did not say when the tax may take place, the report said.
A gauge of property stocks slid 2.9 percent today, capping a 25 percent tumble this year, after the government raised down payments and mortgage rates for multiple-home buyers and ordered lenders to halt third-home loans in areas with "excessive" price gains.
China's August new loan growth may slow to about 500 billion yuan ($73.5 billion), Securities Daily reported today, citing several analysts at domestic brokerages. New lending was 532.8 billion yuan a month earlier, according to the central bank.
Sany Heavy Industry Co. and SAIC Motor Corp. retreated among machinery and auto makers after rallying at least 29 percent in the second half of the year.
Sany Heavy, China's biggest maker of machinery for handling concrete, slid 3.3 percent to 25.20 yuan, after gaining 43 percent since the end of June through yesterday. SAIC Motor, the nation's largest carmaker, lost 2.6 percent to 15.61 yuan.
Investors opened 262,763 accounts to trade Chinese stocks during the week ended Aug. 20, up 3.8 percent from a week earlier, the China Securities Depository and Clearing Corp. said on its website yesterday.

Martin's donates $26,215 to Christmas Mother program
Martin's Dumbarton Square store manager Bill Balderson (center) presented a check for $26,215 to a host of Henrico Christmas Mother program volunteers – and Christmas Mothers past – Dec. 22 at the store.
The money was donated in part by shoppers at Martin's Henrico stores through a donation program that ran in stores during the fall months, as well as a contribution from Martin's. Each of the company's stores in Henrico witnessed an increase in the amount donated by shoppers this year, compared to last year; the Dumbarton store showed the
highest percentage increase, according to Martin's spokeswoman Vicki Kiger.
Pictured above, left to right, are Trish Foster, Lane Foster, Dorothy Tatum, Betty Lyon, Fran Garrett, Balderson, Shelly Poole, Ruth Radzisauskas, Robin Smith and Reed Smith.
The Christmas Mother program assisted about 1,950 families (6,000 people) this year, Poole said. Program officials won't have a final tally on the amount of donations made to the program until February, but signs so far indicate that the number may exceed last year's, Poole said.

Not sure if this belongs here or over in Plugins and Hack, but here:
I've got Magic Fields 22.214.171.124 installed, and I've set up one write panel with two groups, both of which have multiple fields. I have worked with Magic Fields a little before (someone else did the initial setup, but I created write panels and all and got them to list out on the page just fine. This time, something is definitely wrong. I've been trying to find something to explain what it might be, but so far, I can't.
First, I can't get it to accept multiple entries (duplicate groups), even though it's set to allow it. I've gotten one entry into each, but every time I enter the second and update the page, the second either vanishes entirely, or partly merges with the first, replacing one or two of the fields.
Second, the bit of code to put in on the page isn't displaying anything but an error about my foreach() being invalid. The entry exists, and I made sure I put the name in right (several times), but it's pulling nothing. I even thought maybe the one namespace was confusing it, be changing it fixed nothing, nor did trying to use my other write panel.
The only possible conflict that I can think of is that I had previously installed Magic Fields 2, but I have since deactivated and uninstalled it.
Does this sound familiar to anyone, or any anyone make any suggestions about what the problem might be? This is actually a school project that's supposed to be done by tomorrow, and is end-all due next week. I can hardcode stuff if necessary for that, but the person the site is being built for is not a big web person. (It's both homework and a friend's portfolio.)

Politics Meanwhile in Ohio…
posted by October 18 at 13:04 PMon
The Republican running for governor of Ohio is losingand losing big time. Polls put him 27 points behind the Dem in the race. Unfortunately the Republican is also Ohio's Secretary of State and he's currently contemplating tossing the Dem off the ballot on a technicality. Would he? Could he?
The Republican is the deeply corrupt Ken Blackwell. An African American, Blackwelll did all he could to keep African Americans from getting to the polls in Ohio in 2004, thereby costing Kerry the state, and the Dems the White House. If anyone would pull a move like this, it would be Blackwell.

What Is the Outlook for People with Factitious Disorders?
People with factitious disorders are at risk for health problems (or even death) associated with hurting themselves or otherwise causing symptoms. In addition, they may suffer from reactions or health problems related to multiple tests, procedures, and treatments; and are at high risk for substance abuse and attempts at suicide. A complication of factitious disorder by proxy is the abuse and potential death of the victims.
Because many people with factitious disorders deny they are faking symptoms and will not seek or follow treatment, recovery is dependent on a doctor or loved one identifying or suspecting the condition in the person and encouraging them to receive proper medical care for their disorder and stick with it.
Some people with factitious disorders suffer one or two brief episodes of symptoms and then get better. In most cases, however, the factitious disorder is a chronic, or long-term, condition that can be very difficult to treat.
Can Factitious Disorders Be Prevented?
There is no known way to prevent factitious disorders.

For Immediate Release
MEXICO CITY - The Governments of the United States and Mexico today partnered with the Government of El Salvador to increase cacao production as an alternative source of income for rural farmers affected by the coffee rust outbreak.
This trilateral partnership will support the Government of El Salvador's agriculture strategy which aims to increase the value chain of cacao and position the country as an export leader. The three countries will also be part a $50 million, five-year, public-private cacao initiative.
"This dynamic partnership will leverage our joint expertise along with that of the private sector to help tens of thousands of rural farmers to double their income and rise out of poverty," said USAID's Administrator Raj Shah. "Through innovative approaches to farming, these women and men will have sustainable livelihoods and increased market access."
The initiative, expected to commence in August, will:
- Train approximately 10,000 female and male farmers on supply chain opportunities, sustainable farming, and access to finance.
- Create more than 22,000 jobs, produce at least 8,000 metric tons of cacao, and generate $65 million in net income.
- Increase cacao production and taste quality to meet international buyer standards.
- Establish a national cacao institute for soil and seed research, agricultural technologies, and climate change adaptability.
The partnership will be implemented by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Mexican International Cooperation Development Agency (AMEXCID), and El Salvador's General Office of Development Cooperation.
to end extreme poverty and promote resilient, democratic societies.

bilirubin in the blood (hyperbilirubinemia). Bilirubin is produced when red blood cells are broken down, and has an orange-yellow tint. The buildup of bilirubin in the body causes yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes (jaundice), which is the only symptom of the disorder. Jaundice is usually evident in infancy or early childhood, and it may come and go. Rotor syndrome is caused by having mutations in both the SLCO1B1 and SLCO1B3 genes and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. The disorder is generally considered benign, and no treatment is needed.[1][2]Rotor syndrome is an inherited disorder characterized by elevated levels of

LOVED this movie!
Alexander Payne brings us another slice of life film about tragedy and loss as a husband and his kids deal with their mother dying. George Clooney gives the best and most subtle performance of his career. I can't recommend this film highly enough.

Raunds is situated 21 miles (34 km) north-east of Northampton. The town is on the southern edge of the Nene valley and surrounded by arable farming land.
Nearest civilian airports are Luton 50 miles and East Midlands 65 miles.
Raunds is close to Stanwick Lakes,[1] a country park developed from gravel pits and managed by the Rockingham Forest Trust.[2] This park is internationally recognised for its birdlife and can be reached on foot from Raunds along Meadow Lane bridleway.
In the mid-1980s, during sand excavations in the Nene valley, the remains of a Roman villa were discovered. Excavation of the area, near Stanwick, was delayed by several years while archaeologists studied the remains. In 2002 Channel 4's Time Team excavated a garden and found remains of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery.[3]
The place-name 'Raunds' is first attested in an Anglo-Saxon charter of circa 972-992, where it appears as Randan. It appears as Rande in the Domesday Book of 1086, and in a later survey of Northamptonshire as Raundes. The name is the plural of the Old English rand, meaning 'border'.[4]
Raunds played a role in the boot and shoe industry until its decline in the 1950s and '60s. In 1905 a dispute arose about wages to be paid to army bootmakers, which culminated in a march to London in May that year.[5] Several factories remained into the early 1990s but all are now closed, with many being demolished and housing estates built. The Coggins boot factory was the last to go, and the site of it is now Coggins Close. The land on which the shoe factory and the original Coggins houses stood (not Coggins Close), was purchased by Robert Coggins on 25 February 1899 from the Duchy of Lancaster, for the sum of £14.10s.0d. The houses are still there, but were sold to Charles Robinson of Wellingborough in 1934. Robert Coggins lived in the hall where his picture hangs in the meeting room, and he is buried in St Peter's churchyard. There is no industry in the town now, although there are some industrial sites on the outskirts.
Raunds once held the record for the highest temperature in Britain at 36.7 °C (98.1 °F), set on 10 August 1911, which stood until 1990.[6]
Raunds was the home of broadcaster, writer and television personality Sir David Frost in his youth, when his father, Paradine Frost, was a minister at the Methodist church, before moving to Beccles in Suffolk.[citation needed]
Notable buildings[edit]
The Historic England website contains details of a total of 19 listed buildings and six scheduled monuments at or in the vicinity of Raunds.[7] Amongst them are:
- St Peter's Church, Church Street.
- The Manor House, 2 Manor Street.
St Peter's, CoE is in the Diocese of Peterborough and St Thomas More's, RC is in the Diocese of Northampton.
Raunds is adjacent to the A45 and close to the A14 jct 13. Access to the M1 and A1 is close and the A14 runs from Britain's largest container port at Felixstowe in Suffolk to join the M6. Consequently, the area attracts distribution companies warehouses.
Bus services are limited, the X46 links the town with Wellingborough and Northampton, running half-hourly. There are intermittent routes to Huntingdon and a local service termed the 'Raunds Rover'.
Connections are provided by East Midlands Trains from Wellingborough and Kettering railway stations, for direct trains to London St Pancras International, Nottingham, Sheffield and Leeds.
There was once a Raunds railway station, on the Midland Railway's cross-country line from Kettering to Huntingdon, closed in September 1959, and which gave access to St Ives and Cambridge, though Raunds station was sited 1½ miles from the town. It was also planned that the Midland's Wellingborough to Higham Ferrers branch, also closed in 1959, would continue to Raunds, but landowners prevented it.[citation needed]
The Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway (the forerunner of the Great Central), proposed a line from Doncaster to Raunds in an early version of its bid to build a trunk line to the capital. This line never came to fruition, and the company eventually built its London Extension via Nottingham, Leicester, Rugby and Brackley.
Stanwick Lakes are within walking or cycling distance of Raunds, and river ways connect to the Nene Valley river section. By boat, Oundle can be reached in a day. The Nene Valley river section connects to the Middle Level Navigation System, making it possible to reach Cambridge and Peterborough. The nearest marina is Willy Watt's in Ringstead, Northamptonshire.
There are many small businesses and many people commute to larger centres for work. Raunds is home to a Hotpoint distribution centre, and depots for Robert Wiseman Dairies and Avery Dennison. Raunds Co-operative Society ran a supermarket and department store and had 4,000 members until 2007 when it merged with the larger Midlands Co-operative Society. The shops still operate.
A market is held on Fridays in the square. Regular stalls include butchers, plant stockists, home-made jewellery and confectioners. Local organisations and clubs can also set up a stall.[citation needed]
Raunds has:
- a day nursery[8]
- a playgroup[9]
- an infant school[10]
- a primary school[11]
- a junior school[12]
- a secondary school,[13]
Raunds holds an annual music festival over a weekend in early May.[14] Events include: rock, jazz and folk concerts starring nationally and internationally known artists, performances by Raunds Community Choir and Raunds Temperance Band, song and tune sessions, dancing displays, a ceilidh and an annual youth dance competition.
Raunds Music and Drama Society (MADS) holds several stage performances throughout the year.[15]
The town holds a Christmas festival in the square. Continental markets are held annually to celebrate neighbouring countries.
Woodbine Working Men's Club (1901-2005) and the Conservative Club (1920 to date) have offered community and recreational facilities.
For the past few years, an annual beer festival has been held at the cricket club. This features a range of local beers and ciders, as well as traditional world beverages, accompanied by local music artists.[16]
Sport and leisure[edit]
Raunds Town F.C. are at Kiln Park and play in the United Counties Football League. As well as the first team, they also have reserve, women's and youth teams.
Raunds Tigers F.C. focus on junior football and have several youth teams.
Raunds Town Cricket Club have a ground in Marshalls Road. The team plays in the Northamptonshire League.
Archers of Raunds meet at Manor School and Sports College.

Extending over 160 acres, the ruins at Pompeii afford tourists and archeologists the rare opportunity to glimpse a time capsule of life in ancient Rome. Volcanic ash encased the entire city of Pompeii in an airtight tomb during a major eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the first century. The ruins open to the public today include the main area of the city, with several theaters, a forum and athletic fields, residential and commercial streets and suburban villas.
Discovery and Excavation
Excavations of Pompeii began in 1748 under the Sicilian Bourbons and focused on removing artistic artifacts for the king's collection. At the time, there was little energy devoted to the archeological preservation of the site, and many frescoes were destroyed or damaged beyond repair. Once the French gained control of the region in 1806, excavations proceeded more carefully and systematically, with variations in pace and funding, until the unification of Italy in 1861, after which point the site received significant and detailed archeological attention.
Visiting the Site and Artifacts
The archeological site opens to visitors every day, although at any given time, certain areas of the site remain closed to tourists due to renovations or active excavation. At the main gate, visitors can pick up a free guidebook, available in a plethora of languages, that includes a map and background information on the major structures in the site. Licensed tour guides wait for prospects at the entrance to the site, although you can also book a guide in advance. The National Archeological Museum in Naples exhibits many of the frescoes, household objects and statues from Pompeii that have been removed from the site for preservation.
Notable Ruins
Near the site's entrance, Pompeii's forum formed a central place in the lives of its citizens with the city's food market, meeting hall and main temple -- the Temple of Jupiter, which dates back to the second century B.C. Visitors can climb the seats and stage areas of the nearby Theater District; the Teatro Grande and Odeon theater are both in impressive condition. Northwest of the main city, the extensive Villa of Mysteries estate has more than 60 rooms featuring painted frescoes, including the triclinium cycle, a 10-scene saga whose story continues to baffle scholars today.
Preservation Issues
Although the ruins survived for thousands of years before their excavation in modern times, certain structures and buildings in the city have not held up under the site's use as a tourist attraction. In 2010, a structure known as the gladiator school in the gymnasium area of Pompeii collapsed, and two other walls crumbled to pieces later in the year. The incidents provoked a confidence vote in parliament for the country's minister of culture -- which he survived -- and criminal neglect investigations into nine individuals.

Man charged with prescription fraudsJanuary 31,2013A Pennsylvania man who police say was shopping for doctors who would prescribe him with pain medication denied five felony charges Monday.
John D. Harper, 41, of Leesport, Penn., pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to five counts of prescription fraud. He was released on court-ordered conditions.

Harper allegedly filled those prescriptions at eight different pharmacies spread across Rutland and Bennington counties.
In Rutland County alone, Hodsden said Harper filled 17 prescriptions for pain medications between April and June of last year.

Free hot dogs for Cecil's 60th, through Sunday
Highland Park's longest-running deli, which opened its doors July 1, 1949, is old-school enough to still serve chopped liver. Cecil's is celebrating its 60th by giving out free mini hotdogs, served by former mayor George Latimer, today through Sunday from 12-2. (It's too bad they're not giving out their more notable fare--Reuben, latke, or matzo ball soup. I suspect many will pay to upgrade.) Congrats, Cecli's!
