Heavy equipment repair, fabrication company expands to Howard
Howard – Donnerite Inc., a Minnesota-based company, has announced that it will expand its operations to Howard. Donnerite operates a truck and heavy equipment repair company and manufacturing business that specializes in custom design and fabrication of all types of projects.
"Donnerite Inc.'s decision to expand its operations to our state is a testament to what South Dakota has to offer," said Gov. Dennis Daugaard. "Word is spreading that South Dakota has a business-friendly environment, quality workforce and an unbeatable way of life."
"We are very excited to be expanding our design and fabricating business to Howard," said Bill Donner, co-owner of Donnerite, Inc. "We are moving into an existing building and will be hiring local people. We hope to bring in others from outside Howard and surrounding areas, encouraging them to relocate to the community."
Donnerite, Inc. is co-owned by Bill and Deb Donner of Spicer, Minn.
"Donnerite Company is the perfect fit for Howard and the vacant Knight & Carver building," said Russell Olson, CEO of Heartland Consumers Power District. "We have been working with state and local officials for some time to fill that space. Bill and Deb Donner have a passion for small towns and have run a successful company for nearly two decades. They will have a positive impact on the community and we at Heartland are excited about Howard's bright future."
"Howard Industries is looking forward to Donnerite Inc. expanding its design and fabricating business to our community," said John Mengenhausen, president of Howard Industries. "Donnerite has a successful record and will be a big boost to the local economy. It has been great working with Heartland Consumers Power District and the Governor's Office of Economic Development to get this accomplished. Donnerite will be an excellent addition to our industrial park."
Donerite Inc. began its operations in 1996 with a repair shop based out of Bill and Deb's home. During the past 17 years, Donnerite has grown from one small shop to six businesses throughout Minnesota, employing close to 100 people.

Earlier, our parking guru David LaBua, author of Finding the Sweet Spot, hinted at a parking rule so unknown that even a lifelong resident of San Francisco probably couldn't name it. Did you guess what it was? The answer can save you hundreds in parking ticket fees!
Which of these is an official rule in the SF parking code that is enforced daily:
A) All vehicles parked in SF must have a political rant of some sort on the bumper.
B) Cars may not be parked in any one space for more than seven days.
C) Each parking sign is enforced for 100 feet in each direction.
D) Each parking sign is enforceable on both sides of the street.
E) All of the above.
F) None of the above.
C) Each parking sign is enforced for 100 feet in each direction.
The old 100-foot rule. What I believe to be the mother of all parking rules. So, what does that mean, and why is it so damn important?
Well, this rule is perhaps the largest reason for that confused stupor that people go into as they peel a ticket off of their windshield, look around, and with absolute exasperation say, "WTF?"
Not knowing about it fits right into our well-oiled defense mechanism of parking denial. We find a parking spot, pull in, no meter, no red curb, we park, lock the door, and go about our business…excellent! We don't want anything to ruin this moment, this victory, our victory, this opalescent ray of sunshine. We don't want to, and at times, cannot bear to see a restriction that will rip this victory out of our clutches. We all know that feeling. And, as a result, I believe that we, as a collective psyche, have driven the 100-foot rule deep into unconscious slumber.
How to apply the rule: When you park, take a minute to look up and down your side of the street to see if there are any signs within 100 feet. Most people (except for my brother and I for this very reason) don't carry tape measures in their glove compartment.

Hunwick is a semi-rural village in County Durham, England. There are actually two villages that are often referred to collectively as Hunwick, Hunwick and New Hunwick although it is generally accepted that the two villages are now as one. In the 2001 census Hunwick had a population of 952.
Hunwick is an ancient village dating from Saxon times when it belonged to the Cathedral church of Durham. Hunwick stands between Bishop Auckland and Crook. It was later given to the Earls of Northumberland, but it returned to the ownership of the church when Henry VIII re-endowed Durham cathedral. The village itself was probably destroyed during the Harrying of the North in the late 11th century, and was rebuilt with two rows of houses arranged around the village green.
Hunwick was originally a township and chapelry in the ancient parish of Auckland St. Andrew in County Durham. It became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 it was part of Auckland Rural District. Between 1974 and 2009 it became part of the larger Wear Valley non-metropolitan district. Since 2009 County Durham has been a unitary authority.
At some point the name of the civil parish changed to Hunwick and Helmington, noting the existence of the village of Helmington within the parish. However, Helmington Row was a separate parish based on a separate village to the north and was a township in Brancepeth ancient parish.
A nineteenth century description
A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Hunwick from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

It was PANIC when Jennifer Lopez lost her wedding ring — and frantically scrambled to find it before her husband found out!
J. Lo was so freaked out that she actually shut down the set of her upcoming movie "Gigli" for two days as the search for the $30,000-plus ring continued — and Jennifer fumed.
"Jennifer definitely deserves the title of 'Queen of the Divas,'" an insider declared. "She went berserk when she lost the wedding ring she handed to someone while she shot a scene on Friday, January 18. She made the set a living hell."
Jennifer's husband Cris Judd had the ring specially made for his bride and she was "beside herself with grief" when it disappeared, a Hollywood source disclosed.
"Jennifer was afraid Cris would find out and it would hurt him deeply, so she swore everyone on the set to secrecy.
Jennifer earned $9 million for "The Wedding Planner."
"The entire set turned into a whirlwind of activity because of Jennifer's demand that everything stop until her ring was found.
"She started cursing like a sailor and throwing water bottles in her dressing room.
"A group of guys from the film crew were actually crawling on their hands and knees canvassing the entire area for her ring.
"On Saturday, production completely stopped because Jennifer's ring was still not found and she refused to work. The film didn't shoot on Sunday or Monday, and Tuesday Jennifer was still steaming that her ring had not turned up.
"She was also livid that the producers were not making speedy enough arrangements to replace the ring. And she went through the roof when she saw that the wardrobe assistant accused of losing the ring was still working on the film."
The insider added: "In the end, Cris found out that the wedding ring was lost. The two lovebirds worked it out. And Jennifer began wearing a temporary replacement ring until she can get an official replacement for her diamond ring."

The Golden Globes nominations were announced today. The standard year end best movies of 2012 made the list from "Argo" to "Zero Dark Thirty." Instead of listing the nominees, I'm going at address an issue that the fearless and brave Nikki Finke of Deadline.com brings up. Here is a portion from her blog post this morning regarding the Globes:
"I refuse to treat these nominations with any seriousness…I've said it before, and I'll say it again: it's a completely meaningless awards show from a scandal-riddled organization aired by a production company desperate for money on a network praying for ratings. That's why I opt out of analyzing the nominations every year: because the Golden Globes have zero integrity. Studios and networks who lavishly lobby the HFPA almost always score nominations. Actors win in direct correlation to their glamour quotient."
Oh, it gets better…
"The Hollywood Foreign Press Association isn't as advertised. It's actually a small motley group of 85 mostly freelancers who won't grant membership to the real foreign journalists at the prestige media outlets across the world. The HFPA clique doesn't want to dilute the financial bonanza it receives from the studios and networks who arrange exclusive interviews about each year's movies and TV shows. Not only have legitimate journalists for years been attacking the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for its exclusionary membership policies and too-cozy relationship with studios and networks. But an Oscar-winning documentary director (Vikram Jayanti, in his 2004 film The Golden Globes: Hollywood's Dirty Little Secret) has called the group a bunch of 'freeloaders' who know more about hors d'oeuvres than auteurs and select winners based on 'who kisses butt best'."
Nikki Finke brings up an excellent point. Remember when the Johnny Depp/Angelina Jolie 'comedy' "The Tourist" received multiple nods? All the speculation seemed obvious at that point. This is an awards show that shouldn't be taken seriously. I try not to watch them!
This years only eye sore isn't too bad: "Salmon Fishing in The Yemen" was nominated for three Globes: Best Actor and Best Actress in a Comedy (McGregor and Blunt) and Best Comedy. I didn't hate it but its VERY far from being ranked as 2012's best. It did have an unintentional hysterical moment: a fly fisher's rod is used to thwart an attempted assassination by knocking the gun out of the terrorist's hand. In that case, this movie is comic genius. Unfortunately, that wasn't the intention of the filmmaker!
I will go out of my way to not mention the Globes this Awards Season, but they provide clarity for this time of year especially if all the movies begin to align. It's hard to avoid them, but I will try my best. Too big to ignore? Not necessarily. Too scandalous to be taken seriously? Absolutely!

Josh Abbott Band, 'Touch' – Song Review
'Touch,' the new song from the Josh Abbott Band, is a steamy love song that overcomes the singer's vocal limitations to put one right in a bedroom with the object of their desire. The lyrics are sharp and efficient, with every word adding an important brush stroke to a passionate portrait.
"Let's just lie here together, chasing forever / I can't get enough of your love / Brave and relentless, sweet and defenseless, / I can never get enough / Every time we touch," Abbott sings during the chorus.
The mid-tempo cut is the new single from the Texas country band's follow-up to their 2010 'She's Like Texas' album, which sparked a fire with hot songs like 'Oh, Tonight.' Effective use of a female background vocalist makes the challenging long notes towards the end of this one an even more enjoyable experience.
"A little longer, baby stay with me a little longer / I just want your touch again / Feel you body giving in," he sings alone during the first verse. The second verse begins similarly, but with one powerful difference before continuing with, "You're a bad liar / That smile gives away what you desire / You wanna feel my touch again."
Like so many great country songs, the words look flat on paper but Josh Abbott Band gives 'Touch' life with a clean and uncomplicated performance. This should be a big song for the now six-piece group.

Derek Armstrong, who has missed eight consecutive games with a knee injury, is considered "probable" to play Thursday against Vancouver. Armstrong skated with the full team in practice Wednesday for the first time and said he wasn't totally pain free but felt good enough to play. "There's some stiffness, but that just comes with the injury," Armstrong said. Armstrong, it seems, had a mild MCL issue. "It got lucky. It could have been a lot worse," he said.
Is there a more underrated player on the Kings' roster than Armstrong. The Kings showed what they think of him when they locked him up with a two-year contract extension last month. He has a plus-14 rating on a team that has scored 216 goals and allowed 264 (second-worst total in the Western Conference).

Remediation strategies for site closure have clearly undergone a series of significant transformations. Once the exclusive domain of energy intensive, mechanically driven methods, these core engineering processes have been actively replaced by or integrated with passive in-situ protocols.
Recently, yet another paradigm shift emerged as legitimate questions about site closure endpoints arose because of recalcitrant and asymptotic conditions that confounded clean-up goals. In response to this need, a number of validated advanced diagnostic methods have been employed to generate new lines of evidence ─ in support of expedited closure. This approach usually operates within the framework of monitored natural attenuation (MNA). When coupled with guaranteed fixed-price strategies, these outcomes are of particular relevance for better site management.
The objective of this blog post is to provide insights on a proven, comprehensive program that has generated real outcomes for cost management and expedited site closure.
A comprehensive program for cost management and expedited closure should include the use of a variety of environmental molecular diagnostics in concert with, where applicable, novel geotechnical techniques. The recent emergence of molecular biological tools (MBTs) and compound-specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) as well as two subsets of geotechnical science ("enviro-tomography" and "flux assessment") are all rich in content and powerful in scope of application. One thrust of the use of these techniques is to set forth proper arguments that can justify MNA as the remedy of choice along the way to permanent site closure. Even absent this endpoint objective, the use of advanced diagnostics has value insofar as better site assessment and management protocols can emerge. Examples include:
The impact on site exit strategies, essentially the most important ultimate objective, is just beginning to manifest. This blog will detail specific achievement via a series of guest practitioners that can discuss their specific accomplishments. Overall, the point is that:
The ultimate lesson learned is that the industry now has a new opportunity for resolving many contaminated site issues. The ultimate result will be to reduce a burdensome national inventory of legacy and emergent problems with a heretofore unavailable greater scientific insight.
A metric to the growth of this "movement" is the considerable funding support and conference exposure offered by the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program, which is a consortium of DOD, DOE, and EPA and other conference venues hosted by Battelle and AEHS. In terms of important long-term efforts, it must be noted that the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council recently formed a Team for Environmental Molecular Diagnostics (EMD) that proposes to review and express sound guidance for the evolving use of molecular biological and stable isotope techniques (see: www.itrcweb.org/teampublic_EMD.asp).
About the image: When chlorinated solvents are spilled or leak into soil or groundwater, natural processes occur to destroy or alter the chemicals. This natural attenuation is recognized by EPA as a viable method of remediation.

Benazir Bhutto: Uncensored and Unfettered
As a Pakistani American, the author has come to understand Benazir Bhutto over the years in different contexts. So she was surprised to discover fresh insights in a new documentary about the slain charismatic leader.
I was already of several minds about Benazir Bhutto, the first woman in the world to have led a Muslim state, before I saw the new documentary about her, showcased last month at the Sundance Film Festival 2010.
Living in Pakistan, I thought Bhutto was all about politics: a power-driven eccentric. When I moved to the United States, I noticed how that very trait was celebrated as determination against all the odds she confronted in my religiously charged and democratically flawed homeland.
Though contradictory, both points of view are understandable within the context of perceptions. For Westerners, hers is the story of a struggler; and, for Pakistanis, she is the quintessential feudal lord's daughter. Not all think the same, of course. Some factions of Pakistani society, especially women, perceive her as a symbol of the new Pakistani woman: forward-thinking yet rooted in traditional rock, and aggressive but maternal.
Whatever one's opinion, the aspect to Bhutto's personality that enchanted one and all was her aura. More often than not, the former Oxford Union president charmed listeners into a false reality about herself, of being a political messiah for Pakistan. Confronted with her persona, it was easy to forget the debacles of her two tenures as the prime minister. It was during her rule that the Taliban gained momentum in Afghanistan. She did little to nothing for the welfare of Pakistani women. And, she faced several corruption charges.
That record used to be foremost in my mind. I judged her on the basis of her political aspirations. But I found a context for her actions after I saw her through the eyes of Mary Anne Weaver, who wrote a celebrated profile on her for The New Yorker in 1993. The introductory paragraphs of Weaver's piece paint the picture of Benazir, the daughter, who was at the verge of losing her father—just the night before he was hung. The pain of her meeting with her father, who had been ousted as prime minister by a coup, hours before he died hit me in the gut. She had pleaded with the jailer so that she could "embrace" him and "say a proper goodbye." If I previously assumed she was on a vendetta to avenge the death of her "papa," I could now understand why.
"Benazir had a very idealized version of her father who she deeply respected and revered," said Claudia Dreifus to me. Dreifus, who included Bhutto in her 1997 book Interviews, was my professor at Columbia University. She helped me see Bhutto through the relationships she cherished—the most interesting being wife to a man who is popularly referred to as the person responsible for her politically tarnished image and who is Pakistan's current president, having taken up her mantle after her assassination. For Benazir Bhutto, though, he was someone who could "spoil" and "comfort" her.
"With Asif, for once," said Bhutto in the interview with Dreifus, "I had somebody with whom I'd lay my hair on the pillow and feel I was safe." While she admitted she married for the "sake of career," her craving for love took over.
As if all this weren't sufficiently complex, "Bhutto"—the new documentary mostly based on her conversations with Linda Bird Francke, the co-author of Benazir Bhutto's autobiography—reveals a startlingly different side to her personality that is more human and less political. Surprisingly intimate moments of Benazir's life—where she misses her children, longs for her husband's return from jail and cries for her mysteriously dead brother—provide a sharp contrast to her otherwise power-driven persona.
What especially stands out for me is the role of the men in her life: the father she followed, the brother she rivaled, the husband she loved, and the son who follows her now.
Benazir Bhutto, in defense against the patriarchal-feudal culture of her family, kept her male human relations intentionally at bay—away from media-fed mass consumption. She maintained a stronger-than-men popular image, unaffected by the rigors of emotional isolation and readjustment. But around Western women, she could afford to be her true self. Uncensored and unfettered.

....but I wish you would!
It's getting to be that time of year where the ghosts and ghouls run wild, and I'm in the mood for a really scary story. I'm hoping to find something truly terrifying the way Stephen King's "It" scared me in 4th grade. Anybody have any suggestions on your favorite scary story or horror novel?

Guam – U.S. House Leaders have put together their schedule of non-controversial bills for floor action in what could be the final week of this session and Congressman Greg Kilili Sablan's H.R. 1466 to allow key foreign worker groups to stay in the NMI, is not on it.
HEAR Matt Kaye's report HERE>>>12-14 kilili bill 1466 notonsched.mp3
There are 20 so-called "suspension" bills on the schedule for this week. Everything from bills to name post offices to land exchange bills.
But Congressman Sablan's bill to grant CNMI-only status for U.S. citizen immediate relatives, NMI permanent residents, pre-covenant residents and spouses, parents or children of U.S. citizens did not make it onto the schedule.
Despite a huge breakthrough in November, when Judiciary Chair Lamar Smith agreed not to exercise his panel's jurisdiction over H.R.1466 passed by natural resources, Sablan's bill is not in the cue this week.
A week that could be the final week of this year's session, as the House and Senate scramble to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year and resolve big partisan differences over extending a payroll tax break, medicare doctors' pay rates, and emergency jobless benefits.
Kilili pushed hard to get 1466 on the schedule, even meeting with leaders on both sides of the political aisle to lobby for support.
There's still a chance, if the session runs long into next week, or if House-Senate bargaining on the major bills leaves holes in the schedule, then the house could still act.
But Sablan's office admits the bill's chances may now be 'slim'.
And even if the House acts, the Senate would have to move the bill under unanimous consent rules at the last minute, not unheard of, but not always easy to do.
1466 was never an 'easy sell' in the House or Senate.
Governor Benigno Fitial actively opposed the measure in house testimony and letters to members, and now threatens to seek a preliminary injunction against U.S. CIS's decision to grant humanitarian parole for most of those covered by the bill.
Thousands in the NMI for years, could be uprooted without some protection.
But Immigration has always been a very sensitive issue in Congress, with Lamar Smith and others asking why foreign workers in the NMI should get a break if those stateside, don't.
Sablan's office counters, those in the NMI are there legally, that 1466 gives them no new immigration benefits, that it's really just a technical correction of the federalization law, and only applies to the NMI.
But in politics, where perception can easily become reality, 1466 faces not just the clock, but the realities of an election year that will decide control in the House, Senate and White House.

What the critics are saying.....
Now with The Mirror, he demonstrates that Breathing Room was no fluke as he serves up a programme marking him as one of the more cerebral yet visceral writers to arise in recent years. With an album that is heady in both senses of the word-intelligent and exhilarating-Weiss emerges as one of the finest artists to mine the post bop arena, with an ability to develop longer-form composition that is clearly indebted to Wayne Shorter. Not since Dave Douglas rose to prominence in the mid-'90s has a trumpet player come along with such a perfect combination of technical prowess, unerring instinct for captivating melody, harmony and counterpoint, and sheer emotional force. A masterpiece by any definition, The Mirror deserves a place high in most listeners' top ten lists for '04 for its ability to engage more than just the ears; Weiss' compositions are remarkably visual as well". -John Kelman All About Jazz
The compositions and especially the colourful, warm, often pedal-point punctuated arrangements show how rapidly Weiss is maturing. His writing may well be initially inspired by what Wayne Shorter was doing for Miles in the mid '60s, but it is totally contemporary in its expansion of that era's unfinished business. And his two scores for the larger line-up are exceptional. The emotional depth of the scoring and the solos make it really something special. So is the whole album. Watch for Weiss. He's a major new talent. One of my 2004 Top Three CDs". -Tony Hall JazzWise Magazine
'Weiss writes tunes with evocative melodic ambivalence and veering surprises and hovering pedal points and metrical asymmetry, all qualities associated with the sensibility that Wayne Shorter brought to jazz. But Weiss does not repeat it, he expands upon it" -Thomas Conrad Downbeat Magazine
Wayne Shorter's influence may be apparent in the charts and Freddie Hubbard's in the playing, but Weiss' craftsmanship and individuality in both areas lift his music out of retrograde movement. It is an indicator of his skill that his five compositions complement the Shorter compositions on the album. Weiss' writing suggests that a major composer/arranger may be developing"
-Doug Ramsey Jazz Times Magazine
Rather than re-creating the music of the artists he respects, as, say, The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra does, Weiss combines the hard-bop vocabulary he loves with his own ideas for an updating of the music. With too few small groups working from tightly arranged music, not to mention from new difficult-to-play compositions, Weiss' sextet deserves attention for the opportunity to enjoy too-seldom-heard musicians who have matured musically ahead of their time. As did the earlier generation of musicians they revere". -Don Williamson 52nd Street Jazz
Weiss has everything that makes a jazz trumpeter great: a full-bodied sound, a complete command of the instrument, a thorough knowledge of the tradition and an intelligent application of those talents. He may be lesser known of the current trumpet kings, but this splendid recording will change that".
-Eugene Holley Jr. JazzUSA
The influence of Wayne Shorter looms large over Breathing Room both in composition and execution. Weiss borrows from the Shorter muse with haunting themes, deceptive intros and tough playing, but he is far too restless an artist to settle for imitation. His own compositions like Breathing Room" and Dark Forces" deliver intelligently paced, emotionally charged hard bop that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Shorter gems like Armageddon" and Those Who Sit And Wait." -Ken Hohman All About Jazz

Hamlin to do a limited run Friday at Talladega
Denny Hamlin's crew chief says he doesn't plan to run the driver much in Friday's practice session at Talladega Superspeedway.
Darian Grubb says Hamlin will turn just a few laps to see how he feels and shake down the car. Then they'll have him get in and out with his helmet on, and anything else NASCAR wants to see from Hamlin.
Brian Vickers will also do one run to check the mirrors and get a turn in the No. 11 Toyota.
Hamlin is returning to the car this weekend after missing four races with a fractured vertebra in his lower back. Grubb says they won't know until Sunday if he'll run the entire race or start the race and then turn the car over to Vickers.

Apple CEO: We Will Take This iPhone Case to the Supreme Court
Tim Cook speaks out in a new interview.
As the battle between the FBI and Apple continues to grow, Apple CEO Tim Cook has stated his intentions to take the issue to the United States' highest courts if necessary. In an interview with ABC News, Cook describes the FBI's request that Apple reengineer its operating system to give the agency access to data as "the software equivalent of cancer."
Apple's decision to fight the FBI's court order—one enabled by a law over two centuries old—has been supported by a number of other high profile tech companies including Google and Facebook. Apple has until Friday to submit its formal appeal to a California court's initial order that it help the FBI, and has not done so yet, though an official rejection of the order seems inevitable.

Slade in Town
"Oslo Sports Club organizes a concert in Ekeberghallen today, November 7. The headliner is the far from unknown group from Liverpool [sic], Slade. The four members are James Wild Lea on bass, Neville John Holder who sings and plays lead guitar, David John Hill also lead guitar and Donald George Powell on drums.
It is primarily Lea who is responsible for the music, while Hill must take a lot of credit for the group's visual "image".
Powell has been away from the drums for a few months after a serious car accident. Because of amnesia, he had to learn all the tunes again.
The music they play is said to be a reflection of their style of life. Slade plays pure, raw, brutal rock, somewhat simple in the eyes of many, but certainly catchy.
Slade had had a comet-like career. From being a mediocre band, they have over the past year matured musically and has had a number of singles and LPs. It is enough to mention hits like Coz I Luv You, Gudby t'Jane, Look Wot You Dun, Cum On Feel the Noize, Skweeze Me Pleeze Me and My Friend Stan. So far, the LPs are "Play It Loud", "Slade Alive", "Slayer", "Sladest" and another is expected in the near future. "Sladest" is actually a collection of their best known songs to date.
The increasing interest in Slade can be partly attributed to audiences having grown tired of complicated pop music, and are more ready to accept the group's uncomplicated music."Aftenposten: 7th November 1973
Germany, November, 1973
A dark green Bus rolls through the rush hour stuffed streets of Frankfurt. Packed with over 20 Journalists and radio people from all parts of the West German Republic - their aim, the Jahrhunderthalle (Centennial Hall) in Höchst. They all came to witness the start to the third German Tour of the most successful British Singles Band for many years:
SLADE ! It`s Nov. 12 1973
Whether large or small,
The audience were raving.
I am sitting in the bus as well and next to me, photographer Gesine, we`re the official representatives of POP. Camera shutters are clicking, test film rolls are loaded and lenses added, then the press mob storms the bright lighted Jahrhunderthalle where already two and a half thousand kids are getting themselves in the mood vocally for the main attraction tonight.
In Heidelberg Slade played to the smallest audience of the whole Tour – maybe because Ike & Tina Turner are playing right next to them in another venue that same night.
But in Hamburg, Munich and Vienna the venues are bursting. Everywhere they're up on the seats, stomping, raving singing along and clapping their hands and all that starts even before a single group member has hit the stage.
Lucky Roadies – there`s no other band around - where their work: laying cables, setting up amps and plugging in instruments is awarded with such applause as that of a Slade gig.
Anyway, the audience! The magic word at Slade Gigs is "crazy" or better "crazee"! Being nuts is trump. Slade are crazee ( or they're pretending to be) and their audience is crazee ( at least for one hour when the show is running).
SLADE ARE A KIDS CARNIVALThe Kids are going to a Slade show with the same attitude their parents would have going to the Carnival.
They're putting on their crazy costumes and going wild, being Noddy or Dave, there were some real good Noddy look-a-likes, one of the best had his photo taken beside Noddy himself.
Anyone that doesn't want to be tarted up fully wears, at the very least, a Top hat, hooped socks, tartan trousers or some glitter on their face, or maybe a Slade scarf, badge or T-Shirt at least. I guess if Slade's bass player had worn a false nose I would've seen them here as well.
To complete the Carnival party there's even confetti as Dave Hill throws a handful of glitter over the audience.
What follows isn't the hard bitten aggression like it was at the early Stones Gigs but rather a deafening party in a strictly positive way. Everybody has a hell of a lot of fun stomping and jumping and shouting but never going over the line, just like their parents when they having a ball singing along to their carnival songs except that the parents are quite drunk at that stage - the kids don't need alcohol to loosen up. Lucky Kids!
NODDY STAGGERS TOTALLY BLADDEREDAfter the gig everybody's taken for a after show party in the basement bar of Slade's Hotel.
Slade had a lot of parties during the tour, in every City they easily find a reason for feasting and collective boozing. In Hanover, Ike and Tina Turner were placed in the same hotel like Slade, everybody let it all hang out all night long and at the end they swapped groupies.
In Frankfurt, Noddy staggers - totally bladdered but wearing a big grin over his face - over to Gesine, the photographer, to take her for a Twist (he means the dance) which he lays down perfectly despite his advanced condition.
Next day at 12 noon everybodys meeting at the airport and - surprise ,surprise - Slade have fully recovered but the journalists are all suffering from a giant hang-over.
FOWARD IN THE SLADE-EXPRESSThere`s 30 Seater Chartered Jet "The Slade Express" waiting for us, in which Slade are going to travel to and from all the places they´re going to play.
Slade are in the check in area looking to see if they will be spotted by anybody. But this time around, there`s nobody and so we make our way through the photographers, escorted by TV Cameras, to the plane. Somehow I feel like a Slade extra, but it`s a silly and pompous idea: At the front the photographers, flanked by the TV staff with a happy looking Slade in the centre and followed by a horde of Journalists.
Once on the plane, a Stewardess puts a cardboard "Noddy" tophat (with little silver stars stuck on it) on our heads and a drum (the label inside says it costs 2 marks 65), after that we`re given a SLADE Matchbox and Slade Fist patch plus champagne and a meal. (The Stewardess earned two immoral offers.)
In the meantime we've set off and are up in the air. (Outside: galeforce 12!) A few hours later Coastal Towns reporting storm surge and the "Halligen" (A group of Islands in the northern sea) are flooded. While we`re moving forward, jerky but steady.
That`s quite funny because all the photographers who took place upfront, to take shots of the band are taking a flying leap every now and then!
All the latest Slade Hits are roaring out of the on-board stereo system, and everybody is wearing a cardboard Slade Top Hat and in their hands a vomit bag but thirst has been reactivated by the champagne, (see: "Happy Kids") and, just for a change, party-time breaks loose at 29,527 feet.
The group, placed up front are pretending to sing along for the TV crew. Everybody`s happy, cardboard hats and photographers are thrown all across the plane.... and then we`re already in Hamburg.HAPPY SLADE!
POP presents:
Slade On tour
Pay attention. It's happening all over again. POP present Slade on tour in Germany. Noddy Holder, Dave Hill, Jimmy Lea and, back after that serious car accident, Don Powell shred through six German cities:
(Ed:- Bear in mind that these dates are incorrest, the actual dates have been recorded below, to the best of our knowledge and are still subject to change, as and when we get confirmation?)
Slade dates changed
The concert dates for Slade have been shifted:
Contrary to our message in this edition, Slade will play on the 14:11 in Hanover and on the 15:11 in Berlin.
Many thanks to Christopher Hjort who has assisted Chris Selby with his Norwegian research and is responsible for the translation above. Much appreciation also to Ralle for making the Pop magazine available for me to use and for being kind enough to translate the text for me. A big shout to Dragula on the forums for his assistance.

Few things excite me more than dreaming.
Now I'm not talking about the dreams I dream when I sleep. That's not what excites me. What I am talking about are the dreams I get to control with my imagination when I'm awake.
I love imagining who I want to be, what I want to do, places I want to visit, adventures I want to experience. I express my passion for these things by setting specific goals I want to achieve, then doing what it takes to hit those goals.
For example, one of my adventure goals was to ride a bike in Germany. So when I had a chance to visit Germany this past summer, I made it my mission to find a bike to ride while there.
It turns out that the hotel where we stayed in Berlin had bikes they let their guests ride for free. So one evening, my friends and I borrowed the bikes and had a fun ride on a trail alongside a lake.
Now I also love imagining stories about people who aren't real and have nothing to do with me. The way I express my passion for making up characters and telling stories about these characters is through writing fiction.
I've already published one book, The Dream Doers and the Summer of Secrets. Now I'm working on the sequel. But I'm finding a new way to express my passion for telling the story of my characters by writing a movie script. Learning the format is challenging, but it's also lots of fun!
All right…your turn. What do you have a passion for? And how do you live like a Dream Doer and EXPRESS your passion?
Please share your passion with me in the comment section!
To your dreams,
Bonnie Jean

PUPILS, parents and staff at Trinity First School in Verwood celebrated spring and a glowing Ofsted report with a Strawberry Fair on Friday.
Plenty of sunshine, traditional games and strawberries by the bucket-load made for a successful summer celebration.
Natalie Serkovich, chairman of the school's PTA group, Trinity Links, said: "The Strawberry Fair was a great, fun-filled event, enjoyed by everyone.
"Trinity Links would like to thank staff and parents for their time and support and generosity which ensured a very successful event."
There were even more reasons for the summer celebration this year after Ofsted inspectors described the school as outstanding across all areas. Inspectors said the drive and ambition of headteacher Jane Green and the support she had from staff and governors was excellent, as were the systems in place to monitor quality and progress.

We believe energy and water resource education is important. We provide grant funds to local schools, offer tours and presentations and support educational activities in our community.
As a part of our commitment to education, we provide about $500,000 in grant funds to the four school districts in our service area in support of water and energy curriculum and activities.
Each year thousands of students in the following school districts benefit from programs funded through our education grants.
LCC's Energy Management Program offers a two-year Associate of Applied Science degree that prepares students for a career in the energy management field. It's important to us that our community has a skilled workforce that can wisely manage energy use in homes, businesses and industry. We provide LCC with an annual grant of $70,000 to help reach that goal.LCC's Program
Hands-on learning makes a difference. We currently offer the following:
Middle school students challenge their math and science skills as they design and build photovolatic powered cars. Each year hundreds of students spend a Saturday in early June seeing if their creation has what it takes to win first place.
The KidWind Challenge is a recent addition to our education program. Students explore the power of wind by building and testing their own turbines. After participating in a local challenge, the winning team is invited to demonstrate their wind power knowledge and test their turbine in a wind tunnel at regional and national competitions.
We love celebrating public power and we love reading. In the first week of October we combine the two with our Power Readers program. EWEB staff visit kindergarten classrooms to read a book about electricity and talk to kids about indoor and outdoor power safety.
We also invite fifth grade students in the area to participate in an annual poster contest celebrating public power.
Watch for information about both programs in early September.
Giving back to the community is a part of what we do every day. We want to make the greater Eugene area an even better place to live.
See what's happening and join us for an upcoming event. From home shows to the annual Run to Stay Warm, we are out and about quite often.

Savvy Vancouverites choose from a trio of high-quality ski areas that shimmer ethereally just outside the city's northern suburbs.
Healthily endowed with rugged mountains, high precipitation and a vigorous outdoor lifestyle, Vancouver does winter activities like Rome does ancient monuments. Restless after a week of ennui in the office, workers in British Columbia's largest metropolis are just as likely to meet up on the ski slopes as in the pub, although there is usually plenty of time for a rewarding après-ski drink or two back in the city afterwards.
The Holy Grail for Vancouver skiers is Whistler-Blackcomb, located 125km to the north of the city, the largest, most visited and – by most yardsticks – best ski resort in North America. But Whistler makes for a long, expensive and potentially stressful daytrip, especially on dark winter evenings when the winding Sea-to-Sky Highway can be tricky to negotiate in a car. For something more spontaneous and economical, savvy Vancouverites stay closer to home, choosing from a trio of high-quality ski areas that shimmer ethereally just outside the city's northern suburbs.
Cypress Mountain, Grouse Mountain and Mount Seymour stand shoulder to shoulder like errant siblings on Vancouver's craggy north shore, rising to between 1,200m and 1,450m above sea level. Each mountain harbours its own distinct ski area and, while refreshingly detached from Vancouver's urban clamour, none is more than 15km by road from the city centre, meaning the old cliché about being able to ski in the morning and hit the beach in the afternoon is improbably true.
But with Vancouver's downtown beaches uncomfortably chilly until late May, you are better off spending your afternoons and evenings on the ski slopes too. All three mountains offer floodlit night skiing on a portion of their runs which, after dark, resemble low-flying spaceships suspended high above the chocolate-orange glow of metro Vancouver.
Cypress Mountain is the largest and most prestigious of the three ski areas. Covering 600 acres and listing 53 different runs, the resort's reputation was solidified during the 2010 Winter Olympics when it hosted the freestyle skiing and snowboarding events. White-knuckle skiers and snowboarders love the mountain for its advanced black diamond runs and four different terrain parks, with practice jumps and half-pipes. Cypress is also a nexus for cross-country skiers; the mountain has a separate Nordic ski park – the busiest in Canada – with 21km of trails, a snow-tubing park and a cosy warming hut that serves revitalizing hot chocolate and soup.
Considered a tourist trap by some but loved by others for its convenience, Grouse Mountain is Vancouver's most accessible ski area, courtesy of a large, high-speed cable car that whisks skiers from suburban North Vancouver up to the main chalet at 1,127m in less than five minutes. Belting down its quintessential run, "The Cut", at night with the lights of Vancouver twinkling beneath you, it is easy to imagine you are hand gliding over the city.
Established in the 1920s and fitted with the world's first double chairlift in 1949, Grouse is Vancouver's most all-encompassing ski area and has developed into a popular year-round attraction, with excellent hiking and lumberjack shows entertaining sightseers in the summer. For winter visitors, its comprehensive infrastructure includes such unusual luxuries as a high definition cinema, an outdoor skating-rink, Christmas sleigh rides and half a dozen places to eat, including fine-dining. Added recently are a high-flying zip-line and an even higher wind turbine, both of which remain open year-round (weather dependent).
Those not enamoured with Grouse's clamour usually head to the more rugged Mount Seymour, which is a little less crowded and more remote than the other two mountains, although still only 35 minutes from central Vancouver by car. Seymour sometimes gets an eye-roll from skiing purists for its slow chair lifts and relatively easy runs, but it remains the most popular place to learn to ski among Vancouverites. A safe and relaxed tubing and tobogganing park pulls in families with young children. Seymour is also known for its snowshoeing; 10km of well-signposted trails ring snow-covered meadows and frozen ponds, most of which can be enjoyed in virginal white solitude.
A day of skiing in Vancouver's north shore mountains costs between 90 and 100 Canadian dollars, including equipment rental, with Seymour coming out the cheapest by a hair.
Public transport serves all three areas. Grouse is the easiest to reach, with regular public buses running from Lonsdale Quay on Vancouver's north shore (reachable via a 10-minute boat ride from downtown) to the lower cable-car station in North Vancouver. Cypress and Seymour are connected by steep winding roads to the north shore and are both served by private buses that run two or three times a day from Lonsdale Quay. Cypress's Express Bus also connects to downtown Vancouver.

Kiss, Mr. T, Spock: Seven Celebrity Cereal Fails
We've all seen the Wheaties boxes that have celebrity sports figures on the box -- everyone from Lance Armstrong to Yogi Berra has helped sell cereal.
While Wheaties are still around, we found a bunch of other celebrity cereals that haven't fared so well. Here are a few of our favorites.
|Eat this Star Trek cereal or I'll set my phaser to "kill."
Any cereal that's named after the sound you make when you vomit it back up is a really bad idea. Worse if it's also the name of a serious nerd.
What's next? Bieber-o's (with added sugar, no doubt).
Well, I guess the bitch really does have everything... including her own cereal.
If your name sounds like a cereal already, it's a pretty short leap in the marketing department.
I pity the fool that ate this crap.

Community-based initiatives in response to the OVC crisis in North Central Uganda
In response to the orphan crisis, a number of community initiatives have proliferated to enhance service delivery to OVCs (Orphans and other Vulnerable Children). Part of the literature paints a bleak and pessimistic picture: it believes that community based support interventions anchored on the family are faltering under the weight of increasing number of orphans; while others argue that communities are innovative and resilient to the extent that they have devised new coping strategies. The paper shows how OVC community responses in Northern Uganda are under severe pressure from a range of factors; but how these community initiatives are not collapsing – as the 'social rupture' thesis predicts. Instead, these community initiatives are dynamic and constantly evolving through various mechanisms to respond to the challenges of meeting the needs of the orphans. The paper shows how some of these initiatives are more successful than others in doing so.

Scan YouTube for highlights of Planet Earth II, now nearing the end of its run on BBC America (Saturdays, 9 p.m. ET), and one can't help but be struck by how many compilation fan videos are of the blood-'n'-claws variety. If it bleeds, it leads, seems to be the thinking. And nothing sells like sex and violence. (No, I won't insert a video link here; I won't glorify compilation violence videos by making them easier to access than they already are. Suffice it to say that any YouTube video titled "Huge jaguar vs. a caiman crocodile (insane fight)" — in full caps, no less — tells you all you need to know.)
The bigger picture is that, with more people curious about nature every day but with little means to actually experience nature for themselves, wildlife filmmaking, nature documentaries, and conservation photography have never been more meaningful, or influential to popular opinion.
Ethics in nature filmmaking are more topical now than at any point in the history of television and film, as the world's few remaining green spots are shrinking at an ever-increasing pace.
This was brought into sharp relief recently by environmental film producer Chris Palmer's controversial book Shooting in the Wild: An Insider's Account of Making Movies in the Animal Kingdom.
Like many viewers of Planet Earth, my early life was informed by a steady diet of nature films, from big-screen theatricals like Born Free (right), which I first saw when I was seven, to Disney nature docs like Charlie, the Lonesome Cougar and King of the Grizzlies.
What we see at a young age informs us in our later years and shapes our opinions and outlooks on the world. Palmer's book, as Jane Goodall writes in her introduction, is important and much-needed. It won't change any preconceived notions about climate change, habitat loss or the increasingly evident man-made mass extinction, but it does raise meaningful questions about how these films are made, the motivations and ethics involved, and what the filmmakers' responsibilities are to the viewer.
Palmer, director of the Center for Environmental Filmmaking at American University, was executive producer of the 2000 Oscar-nominated IMAX documentary Dolphins, so he knows something of what he speaks.
Without a doubt, nature films have helped raise awareness of the wonders of the natural world and the need for conservation. How are these films made, though? Can we always believe everything the narrator tells us? Was that stunning sequence we just saw of a polar bear giving birth filmed in the wild, as implied in the film, or will telling viewers that it was actually filmed in a zoo in Germany make them less engaged and possibly less willing to help a conservation cause? Is it ethical to stage a fight between a leopard and a terrified baboon in order to get a dramatic cover story for Life magazine during Life's heyday? (This actually happened.)
To what extent are animals otherwise living in the wild disturbed in their day-to-day activities during the making of a film?
Is it right to manipulate footage while editing, so that it appears two animals are interacting when in fact they were filmed on separate occasions in separate locations?
Where do artistic freedom and the need to tell a good story meet the obligation to tell the truth when making a documentary?
How much should the viewer be told, anyway? Disney's early nature films were designed to appeal to as wide an audience as possible. They were made for children, but directed in such a way that they would appeal to parents, too — charming enough for kids to enjoy, but never boring or too tedious for the adults in the family.
That was the idea, anyway. Everyone likes a good story, and many of us like to watch a good fight. The reality is those early nature films had about as much in common with David Attenborough's pioneering BBC documentaries as Bambi had to Racing Extinction.
Ethical questions surrounding nature filmmaking will never be resolved to everyone's satisfaction, of course, in the same way many conservation groups can't even agree on the seemingly clear-cut question of whether the legal sale of ivory stockpiles will help or hurt elephant conservation in the wild.
As Goodall writes in her introduction to Shooting in the Wild, though, it's high time those questions were asked, and discussed openly.
"We owe this to the animals themselves," Goodall says, "to the filmmakers who practice truly ethical behavior, and to the viewing public."
Amen to that.
Good news, TVWW readers: David's new book from Doubleday, The Platinum Age of Television: From I Love Lucy to The Walking Dead, How TV Became Terrific is now available in paperback for under $15. Doubleday says: "Darwin had his theory of evolution, and David Bianculli has his. Bianculli's theory has to do with the concept of quality television: what it is and, crucially, how it got that way."
"The Platinum Age of Television is an effusive guidebook that plots the path from the 1950s' Golden Age to today's era of quality TV. For instance, animation evolved from Rocky and His Friends to South Park; variety shows moved from The Ed Sullivan Show to Saturday Night Live; and family sitcoms grew from I Love Lucy to Modern Family. Interviews with Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Norman Lear, Bob Newhart, Matt Groening, Larry David, Amy Schumer are high points... Bianculli has written a highly readable history." —The Washington Post

What is pancrelipase (Zenpep)?
Pancrelipase is a combination of three enzymes (proteins): lipase, protease, and amylase. These enzymes are normally produced by the pancreas and are important in the digestion of fats, proteins, and sugars.
Pancrelipase is used to replace these enzymes when the body does not have enough of its own. Certain medical conditions can cause this lack of enzymes, including cystic fibrosis, chronic inflammation of the pancreas, or blockage of the pancreatic ducts.
Pancrelipase may also be used following surgical removal of the pancreas.
Pancrelipase may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of pancrelipase?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have severe or unusual stomach pain. This could be a symptom of a rare but serious bowel disorder.
Less serious side effects may include:
- nausea or vomiting;
- mild stomach pain or upset;
- diarrhea or constipation;
- bloating or gas;
- greasy stools;
- rectal irritation;
- headache, dizziness;
- cough; or
- weight loss.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Zenpep (pancrelipase delayed release capsules) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about pancrelipase?
You should not take pancrelipase if you are allergic to pork proteins.
Before taking pancrelipase, tell your doctor if you have gout, kidney disease, a history of intestinal blockage, a sudden onset of pancreatitis, or worsening of chronic pancreatic disease.
Use pancrelipase regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
Do not hold the tablets or capsule contents in your mouth. The medication may irritate the inside of your mouth.
Do not inhale the powder from a pancrelipase capsule, or allow it to touch your skin. It may cause irritation, especially to your nose and lungs.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, skip the missed dose and wait until your next scheduled dose to take the medicine. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking pancrelipase?
You should not take pancrelipase if you are allergic to pork proteins.
To make sure you can safely take pancrelipase, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- kidney disease;
- gout;
- a history of blockage in your intestines;
- a sudden onset of pancreatitis; or
- worsening of chronic pancreatic disease.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether pancrelipase will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.
It is not known whether pancrelipase passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I take pancrelipase?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Pancrelipase should be taken with a meal or snack.
Take the medicine with a full glass of water or juice.
Do not hold the tablets or capsule contents in your mouth. The medication may irritate the inside of your mouth.
Do not crush, chew, break, or open a delayed-release capsule. Swallow it whole. Breaking or opening the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
You may open the pancrelipase capsule and sprinkle the medicine into a spoonful of pudding or applesauce to make swallowing easier. Swallow right away without chewing. Do not save the mixture for later use. Discard the empty capsule.
Do not inhale the powder from a pancrelipase capsule, or allow it to touch your skin. It may cause irritation, especially to your nose and lungs.
Use pancrelipase regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
Store in the original container at room temperature (below 78 degrees F) for up to 12 weeks. Protect from moisture or high heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
If the medication is exposed to temperatures between 78 and 104 degrees F, throw it away after 30 days. Do not use any pancrelipase that has been exposed to temperatures above 104 degrees F.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
Overdose symptoms may include diarrhea or stomach upset.
What should I avoid while taking pancrelipase?
Follow your doctor's instructions about any restrictions on food, beverages, or activity.
What other drugs will affect pancrelipase?
There may be other drugs that can interact with pancrelipase. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over the counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Where can I get more information?
Your pharmacist can provide more information about pancrelipase.
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use this medication only for the indication prescribed.

Sure, the Mac is a great computing platform, but it is only as useful as the amount of software available for it. For mainstream commercial software, shareware and freeware, visiting our friends at VersionTracker is probably your best bet. But there are other networks, such as Hotline, Carracho, OpenNapster and Gnutella, which have files you won't find anywhere else, but who wants to run all these different clients? If only there was a client that could support all of these networks...
iSwipe, a client that works under Mac OS 8 through Mac OS X, offers the ability to search all of these networks at the same time. Just start up iSwipe and you'll immediately be presented with the search dialog. To help iSwipe focus on what you are searching for, you'll need to specify if you are searching for Music, Movies, Mac Software or PC Software. The iSwipe search dialog also gives a summary of how many files are available on the various networks.
iSwipe Search Dialog
Once you start your search, iSwipe goes to work and searches the various networks. The iSwipe search dialog will show a progress bar indicating how far along it is in search all the network for a file matching your criteria. Eventually, if there are any matching files, you'll be shown a results window which lists all matches. Next to each match is an icon showing which network the file was found on. Also shown are the size of the file, the address of the server the file is on, and possibly other info. To download the file, simple double-click on it.

Lifeboat used to rescue flood-hit homes
Rescuers used a lifeboat to help people to safety after torrential rain left
water lapping at homeowners' waists in Northern Ireland, it was revealed today.
Rivers burst their banks, bridges were washed away and dozens of roads closed
across the province.
The RNLI lifeboat went door to door rescuing people from their homes in
Bryansford, Co Down, as waters rose.
Part of the M1 and M2 motorways remain shut and a train in the Irish Republic
derailed in the freak conditions.
Lifeboat spokesman Ian Douthwaite said: ``In some parts the water had reached
waist level and we wanted to ensure that nobody was stranded in their homes.''
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service had to help people from their
homes in Belfast and counties Down, Armagh and Antrim, with over 850 emergency
calls received.
A spokesman for the RNLI added: ``Volunteer lifeboat crew at Newcastle RNLI
assisted with evacuating people from their homes on August 16 during the heavy
rain and flooding in Northern Ireland.
``Eleven members of the lifeboat crew took the D class inshore lifeboat
Aldergove II and went door to door in the Bryansford Road area of Newcastle,
County Down, to ensure that residents were safe amid rising flood waters.
``The RNLI have special kit that we use with our inshore lifeboat that keeps us
dry and warm. Our lifeboat crew assisted two older people to safety from their
homes and by the time we stood down two-and-a-half hours later the water was
receding. ''
A spokeswoman for Northern Ireland Water, the water and sewerage provider, said
there had been enormous pressure of infrastructure, fielding over 3,000 calls.
``NI Water's major incident response team has been convened and more than fifty
teams have been dispatched throughout Northern Ireland to respond to
``Our sympathy goes out to all those affected by today's extreme weather and we
would like to reassure the public that we are working tirelessly with all the
relevant agencies to address the situation.''
A bridge was washed away in Ballymena, Co Antrim, and there was up to 62mm of
rain in 12 hours in nearby Portglenone.
Some places saw up to three-quarters of the normal August rainfall in a single
The newly-constructed Broadway underpass in Belfast was swamped by water and a
train derailed in Co Laois in the Irish Republic.
There have been several landslides, including one about one mile from the
Spelga Dam on the Slievemaman Road in Newcastle, Co Down.
The Ulster Grand Prix at Dundrod, Co Antrim, was among sporting fixtures
cancelled yesterday and Carnegie Irish Premier Division football matches, were
also affected.
Northern Ireland Water said the Fofanny water treatment works in Co Down had
been damaged.
Approximately 2,000 people will experience no water and loss of press or
Sinn Fein Upper Bann Assembly member John O'Dowd said the authorities couldn't
cope with the conditions and called for compensation for homeowners.
``I also believe there needs to be an urgent review of how agencies dealt with
the floods and how support and aid was delivered to stricken homeowners and
motorist alike,'' he said.

For those of us who like to blog without pants on comes the USB Retractable Notebook Cooling Pad from Brando. With three built-in fans it ostensibly provides triple the cooling power of comparable one-fan models, is USB powered and weighs just 405 grams.
Designed with travel in mind, the retractable design reduces its size making it nice and portable to take with you on the go along with your laptop. But we suggest if you're taking it out of the house with you that you put some clothes on already—some internet cafes frown upon that kind of nudity.

OCD: Fact or Fiction?
A good work of fiction captures your attention and takes you into a different world. The plots and details of science fiction, mysteries, or horror can, in the light of day, seem totally illogical and implausible. However, a good author can make the unlikely seem possible and the irrational rational. The reader turns off the part of the brain that focuses on what is real versus what is not.
The thoughts and beliefs of the OCD mind can be much like the writings of a good author. But in this case, the mind's writings focus on themes of horror. Most obsessions and compulsions don't hold up to logical scrutiny, but like well written horror stories, there are many parts of the plots and details that can easily be believed. And those with OCD buy into the plot much like a movie audience does.
For example, people with "hit and run" OCD worry about hurting someone while driving a car. They may interpret bumps in the road as evidence that they have run over someone. People with this disorder frequently return to the scenes of their accidents, look for damage to their cars, read obituaries in the newspaper, or call hospital emergency rooms to check on accident victims. These worries are excessive, cause intense distress, take enormous amounts of time, and interfere with productive functioning.
Another good example can be found by looking at superstitious OCD. People with this type of OCD obsess over the idea that certain objects, colors, numbers, thoughts, or actions may end up causing harm to people they care deeply about. And when that harm occurs they imagine that they will be to blame for not having successfully avoided the various superstitions that they have.
Thus, if you have OCD, we recommend that you start having a conversation with the fiction horror writer that dwells in your mind. When you start to obsess over causing harm to others, encountering germs and other contaminants, or other types of catastrophes, tell that horror writer in your mind something like, "Well, much as I appreciate your creativity, I am going to walk out on this movie or stop reading this book." In other words, realize that the various OCD scenarios that play over and over in your head truly are works of fiction. With considerable practice and time, you can learn to walk out of the movie and live in the real world.
In future blogs, we'll discuss another strategy for dealing with the mischievous horror writer you've been living with. As usual, we also recommend that you practice exposure and response prevention on your own or with a therapist.
