Football is a passionate game, tales are passed from man to boy, generation to generation, whole communities and even countries are united for its purpose. It is huge, the participation is on an almost unimaginable magnitude but is the game larger than life and death itself? Surely it couldn't be….
Ex-Liverpool manager, Bill Shankly (1913-1981) once said: "Someone said to me, 'To you football is a matter of life or death!' and I said 'Listen', it's more important than that'." Years down the line Shankly's precious club were to embark on six years away from European football after being banned for causing the deaths of 39 Juventus fans in Brussels.
One hour before kick-off at the 1985 European Cup final, Heysel, a mass of wild, ill guided Liverpool fans managed to enter an enclosure where the Juventus fans sat awaiting the game. Their intent was clear – to attack and antagonise. The reaction by the Italian fans was to retreat.
The irrepressible swarm of Red thugs carried forth and the pile up that ensued physically crushed those nearest the containing back wall – many died or were injured. Even when the wall finally gave way releasing a struggling mass of bodies, many were caught beneath the heavy stone.
Many called for the game to be cancelled but it went ahead amongst hysteria around the stadium. The incident is labelled European football's darkest hour. Just four years later more lives were lost in the name of the beautiful game. Liverpool fans were again involved.
The Reds were due to play Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough, the home of Sheffield Wednesday. With the game kicking off thousands of Liverpool fans waited to enter the ground, meanwhile the stewards and police were trying to release fans from the already overcrowded enclosure at the Lepping End. There were more fans than the stand could accommodate.
The suspense was too much for the entourage of fans waiting for the game and a forwards drive by some eager fans through a temporary exit opened by stewards and police, led to the bewilderment of others, as the masses spilt forwards uncontrollably. With nowhere to go the fans crushed in to the barriers and there was no way out.
96 people died. Liverpool fans once left feeling the humiliation of blame for the lives of Juventus fans were to be left mourning the loss of their own followers – again for what cause? Could it be that Shankly would be regretting his most famous words from beyond the grave?
The quote must have echoed like an atomic bomb amongst the faithful followers of Merseyside's most beloved club – the timeless words drift over the hallowed turf of Anfield and throughout the Kop stand to this very day. "'Listen', it's more important than that."
The Scotsman, from Ayre had lived a hardened upbringing – football was escapism from mining. He had five brothers and his village, Glenbuck was famous for producing an abnormally high number of footballers. It was his discipline, pride and work ethic that spread infectiously throughout the dilapidated club, Liverpool FC then flummoxing in division two. It was to become the best team in the country and eventually 'Kings of Europe'.
When Shankly retired aged 60, Liverpool were the top team in the country and had won the UEFA Cup. The hardworking manager, from humble beginnings had created an excellent ethos. He had known football all his life as both player and manager. Soon he was clutching at straws and watched on as Bob Paisley and the rest of the club continued to go from strength to strength, conquering Europe.
Shankly, had looked quickly for a way back but was banned from Liverpool's training ground, Melwood, where he had been appearing to watch the team train. The board felt Paisley needed space to work – the players still referred to 'Shanks' as boss. It left a bitter taste in his mouth and he even though he then looked elsewhere, he struggled to find a place in the game he loved.
LFC.com reports, many felt it was a poor move and that the Scot deserved his place on the board of directors. "It was," said Kevin Keegan, "the saddest, saddest thing that ever happened at Liverpool." Shankly was a fit man; but he died, in the words of the former Leeds player Johnny Giles, of a broken heart.
On the evening after Shankly's death in September 1981, Liverpool beat Palloseura 7-0 away in The European Champions Cup. Prior to the kick-off a banner was unfurled on the Kop which read, "Shankly Lives Forever".
Whilst his words about football's importance over life and death could never be taken literally by some and others see it as a sensationalist remark full of bravado spoke to impress even the die-hardest of fans, perhaps the banner explained exactly what he had meant.
Shankly had once rebuked a police officer at Anfield for flinging a scarf, "Don't do that! This might be someone's life!" he growled. He saw football and life as one and the same and the scarf to him represented much more than a piece of litter – football was life and not death. In a way Shankly was saying, "Take care of that – don't just throw it away."
The opinion that football is more important than life or death can be deemed insensitive and ignorant. In an online debate on uk.answers.yahoo.com, user, Anglo comments, "If Shankly had been managing Liverpool after the Hillsborough, Heysel disasters he would never have said it."
Perhaps this is true but he said it without restriction, with no such sensitive issues to consider. Another user – the Drunken Fool comments, "All LFC fans take his words as an attitude to the game, rather than a literal interpretation."
Liverpool fans would be both cautious to rubbish a famous quote by the builder of the foundations of success of the very club they adore or to insensitively fully agree bearing in mind the 130 lives lost in the disasters.
User, Mr Boombastic Mungbean sheds some more light, "Those of us that have normally functioning minds realise, it's not a matter of life or death, and it's so much more than that……. metaphorically speaking."
There were no reports of Shankly opposing players who wished to go to funerals or their children's christenings; if there had been they would be well known. His love was so dearly embedded in the game he could comfortably pose such a comment live on air without fear or reprise, he knew what he meant.
Football accommodates life and death. Over half the world's population participates and although the game stops rightly for minute's silences and honours are worn in black armbands to represent bereavements, the world keeps turning – the game rolls on much like life itself.
"Shankly lives forever" read the Liverpool banner on the Kop as his side beat Finnish opposition 7-0 at Anfield the evening after his death and the crowd sang emotionally his favourite hymn, 'Amazing Grace'. Gates were erected in his honour at Anfield in 1982, named the Shankly Gates, above them reads the club moto, 'you will never walk alone'.
When the Scotsman arrived on Merseyside in 1959 he had a plan, it was to conquer the world, to make Liverpool Football Club invincible. He carried with him his own ideals,
"The socialism I believe in is not really politics. It is a way of living. It is humanity. I believe the only way to live and to be truly successful is by collective effort, with everyone working for each other, everyone helping each other, and everyone having a share of the rewards at the end of the day. That might be asking a lot, but it's the way I see football and the way I see life."
In Christianity there is the expression, 'to die is to gain' – death can be difficult to come to terms with but when one can come to terms with the bigger picture and accept – believing in Jesus's voice and the truth then we may see that there is eternal life. Admittedly however, running out as Shankley's new number 9 in some far away field may not be everyone's ideal of heaven.

All quotes tagged Lady
(463 quotes found)
"Ladies of Fashion starve their happiness to feed their vanity, and their love to feed their pride."
"There was a knight came riding by / In early spring, when the roads were dry; / And he heard that lady sing at the noon, / Two red roses across the moon."
"Ladies, here's a hint; if you're playing against a friend who has big boobs, bring her to the net and make her hit backhand volleys. That's the hardest shot for the well-endowed."
"The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half-piece bathing suit. If she wore a few more clothes, you might be intrigued. If she wore no clothes at all, you might be shocked. But the way it is, you are occupied with noticing that her knees are too bony and that her toenails are too large. The modern film tries too hard to be real. Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution form the audience but a mouthful of popcorn."

News From our Partners
The Child Nutrition Outreach Program - The Child Nutrition Outreach Program's deadline for the 4th annual school breakfast video contest was over a month ago, so you might be justified in asking why haven't they announced the winners yet. Part of the reason is that they received so many entries (104, more than any previous year by far), that they have needed to spend some serious time watching the videos. Many of them were extremely high-quality, which has made the process even more difficult. They asked their colleagues at the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and Project Bread to weigh in, which they did during a very well-attended afternoon screening in one of our conference rooms. Each video we crossed off the list made it harder to choose between the ones remaining. However, after some seriously difficult decisions we've finally arrived at our top three. Before you read further, please imagine a drumroll:
- First Place ($1000) – The Landmark School (Beverly): "Healthy Days Breakfast"
- Second Place ($300) – Easthampton High School: "Ace the Test"
- Third Place ($200) – Sharon High School: "Breakfast Silent Movie"In addition to the cash prize, the winner will also get to appear on WHDH's Urban Update on Channel 7 at some point later this spring or in the fall. Stay tuned for the date of the screening, and visit the winning videos page and the submissions page to check out all the entries from this year's contest. It wasn't just the winners who wowed us with their creative filmmaking, delicious breakfasts, and the effort they brought to their project – everyone who entered deserves a hearty congratulations

my first galaxy nails! inspired by what I believe to be the best galaxy nail tutorial out there by cutepolish. thanks so much for sharing your handiwork!
had a nail-painting fundraiser for my friend, Melanie, last night! she's going to Japan this summer for a short term missions trip and we thought it would be a fun way to help support her while she's there and to get away from our study guides, textbooks, and Word documents to chat for a while before summer. I did a gradient "workshop," and did some swatches. I love seeing young women come together over polish to love and care for one another!
Zoya Tracie
finals = blog death
I know y'all feel me on this one. I made a list of my final assignments and then wept over it. basically you'll be seeing mostly swatches from me until the close of this semester (May 11th). whomp. hope you understand!!
in other whomp-worthy news, my camera went all wiggity-whack on me and is not working. SOOO I'm in the market for a new camera that can take sexy pics, specifically on the macro setting. what's a girl to do?

The Vitamin D3 Revolution
Vitamin D's influence on key biological functions vital to one's health and well-being mandates that vitamin D3 supplementation can no longer be ignored by individuals striving to achieve and maintain a greater state of health.* Formulated by John Cannell MD, Purity's new Vitamin D3 Complex is a synergistic blend of Vitamin D3 with several targeted nutrients which complement many of the vitamin D3's desirable health benefits.*

Because of its unique interplay with calcium, vitamin D can support the health of both of these important structures.*
Powerful Immune Support
Vitamin D plays an important role in the function of our immune system. Vitamin D receptors are present on almost all immune cells and vitamin D has immune-modulating properties that can support long-term health and wellness by enhancing innate immunity.*
Heart and Cardiovascular Support
Recent research is pointing to the increasing role of vitamin D in maintaining healthy cardiovascular and heart function. Studies have found an association between optimum blood levels of vitamin D and healthy cardiovascular function.*
Vitamin D with Vitamin K
One of the 13 essential vitamins, vitamin K is required for synthesis of proteins that cause blood to clot properly. Vitamin K-dependent proteins have other important functions beyond this survival mechanism, however. Chief among these functions is regulation of calcium storage in bone. At the same time, vitamin K helps prevent excessive calcium build-up in arteries. Simply put, Vitamin K helps keep bones strong and arteries flexible.
Vitamin K occurs in two major forms, designated as K1 and K2. Vitamin K1 or "phylloquinone, is commonly found in food and supplements. K1 is used in the liver as a blood-clotting factor. Vitamin K2 is a group of compounds known collectively and "menaquinones." Two of these, MK-4 and MK-7, are directly involved in calcium regulation, making them vitally important for bone and cardiovascular health. For this reason Dr. Cannell's Vitamin D with Vitamin K includes MK-4 and MK-7. Both are safe at doses many times higher than the RDI of 80 mcg.

3 Myths About Hiring Your First Intern
An intern is supposed to make your life easier, right? But, going through the process of hiring one for the first time can be so confusing that you might start to feel like you should just give up and do the work yourself. I sure did. In my case, I was looking for a community management intern to help me with my social media efforts. But as a one-woman show and a hiring rookie, I didn't really know how to navigate the process.

Torchwood Children of Earth: In Perspective
Guest contributor Mark McCullough takes a look back at the 2009 series.
It is difficult to believe that it has almost been five years now since Torchwood: Children of Earth first graced our television screens. Budget cuts had necessitated a change from the traditional 'story of the week' format, with creator Russell T Davies instead opting for a single narrative drawn out over five episodes. This allowed for the series to be more character driven with the aliens predominately taking a back seat. This was a risk given that in the finale of the previous series, the main cast was cut to sixty percent of its usual value. With the departing cast members not being replaced, we were left with just Jack, Ianto and Gwen. This had its advantages however as it allowed the story to develop several interesting supporting characters, including development for Rhys.
This shift of emphasis allowed a large part of the narrative to be played out within the political world. This gave rise to intriguing storylines focusing on secrets and the natures of those in charge of our country. This makes for thrilling, edge of the seat viewing. Another interesting change in the dynamic is the destruction of the Torchwood hub during the first episode. This forces the team out of their comfort zone and emphasises the use intellect, instead of relying solely on an excessive array of gadgets. The risk in changing the format of the show paid back enormous dividends producing a television masterpiece.
What really stands out about Children of Earth and leaves a lasting impression in the mind of the audience is its horror. It excels by taking the most common aspect of humanity and turning it into something terrifying. Childhood is something we have all experienced, and I'm sure we all have been exposed to a child at some point. The maternal and paternal bonds are some of the strongest in nature, and not just in humans. For a parent their child means the world to them, if this bond is broken the consequences are disastrous. One needs only to look at a grieving parent to see this first hand. Even for those who are not parents themselves, there is a feeling that it is unnatural for something to happen to a child. It is this human instinct which Children of Earth exploits to achieve its scares.
The concept of having an alien race able to control children and use them to transmit a message to humanity is spine chilling on so many levels. As an idea, it is a complete stroke of genius by Davies and his fellow writers. The political setting allows for another layer of terror and complexity to be added to the situation. The government, a group of people elected by the public to serve in their best interests, should be an institute of trust. This makes their decisions in Children of Earth all the more incomprehensible. Self-preservation is fundamental aspect of human nature; we are inherently a selfish species. The narrative exemplifies this by showing the politicians make decisions based on their interests rather than those of the public.
It shouldn't be shocking, yet the writing and timing of developments make it so. Where Children of Earth shines is in its realism. The writing is so intelligent that you could actually see it happening, should such a situation arise. The scenes in the meeting where the action plan as to which children are selected is being discussed, ideas are offered which I am sure the vast majority of viewers were thinking at the back of their minds.
With a smaller Torchwood team; the writers had the opportunity to flesh out the remaining characters. They made use of this using family as a centre of focus. For Gwen and Rhys, it was her pregnancy and the prospect of starting a family of their own. This is consistent with Gwen's characterisation and the development of her relationship with Rhys throughout the previous series. Gwen who started out as the unfaithful partner, developed into a loving devoted wife. It was only logical for the next step to be pregnancy. Gwen's pregnancy provides a focus for the discussion of a few ethical issues, namely the idea of having a child into the world depicted in the series. Rhys becomes almost the fourth member of the Torchwood team and fits into the role with relative ease.
The development for both Jack and Ianto involves the introduction of new family members. For Ianto it is his sister who is a pleasant and relatable character. She gives an insight into Ianto's personal life and is there for him when he needs her most. Jack's family is revealed as him having a daughter and a grandson, whom he has kept hidden. The relationship between them feels strange and unnatural, yet it is obvious that they care for each other in some way. Jack's family is introduced more as a potential plot point, first becoming a pressure point for Jack before playing a large part in the resolution to the series.
The antagonists of the story are the enigmatic 456, named only after the wavelength upon which they broadcast communications. Their motives are unique within the Whoniverse and take on a darker adult theme. The issue of drugs and substance abuse is one which has a real prominence within the world we live. It is a problem which doesn't go away, so it is nice to see Torchwood raise awareness albeit in an unconventional way. The idea of an alien race using Earth for drugs is frightening enough, but to include the fact that their drug of choice is human children, it becomes incomprehensively terrifying.
The supporting cast in this series is one of the strongest Torchwood has ever had. Of these, the standout character has to be Peter Capaldi's John Frobisher. In a world of corrupt politicians, Frobisher stands out as a good man. Devoted to his job, he finds himself on the frontline of the 456 situation as the fall guy. When he is betrayed by the prime minister, his passion to both his family and his job leaves him with only one option. He makes a heroic decision to save his children from the 456. This moment is made all the more poignant by the fact that due to Jack's actions defeating the 456, it was unnecessary.
The rest of the cast offer a strong performance too: Bridget Spears (Susan Brown) is an intelligent woman, and the only true friend to Frobisher. She stands by him throughout the series and helps him when he needs her most. Lois Habiba (Cush Jumbo) acts as an audience surrogate, she is likeable, empathetic, and honest. She does what she can to help Torchwood regardless of the personal implications it may pose. Rupesh Patanjali (Rik Makarem) was a great tease by the writers and a twist which I did not see coming. I can't help but feel the idea of a spy within Torchwood was too good an idea to end as early as it was terminated. Agent Johnson (Liz May Brice) is excellent in the villain role throughout the series. She is motivated, driven and focused on delivering what her country needs of her. She is cold impersonal and ruthless, but recognises what is in the best interest for the people in the end. The Prime Minister (Nicholas Farrell) gives a cold and intelligent performance, and perfectly sets himself up for his eventual fall. There are other strong supporting characters too: Mr Dekker (Ian Gelder), Clement MacDonald (Paul Copley), and Denise Riley (Deborah Findlay).
The events towards the end of Day Four are perhaps some of the saddest within the Whoniverse. I am of course talking about Ianto's death. This came as a real surprise, given that the cast had already been reduced, I doubt anyone was expecting another character to be killed off. Ianto was always a likeable character and his relationship with Jack proved to be one of the highlights within Torchwood. So it is understandable that the fans were heartbroken at his death, this lead to a lot of emotional backlash and the formation of the 'Bring Back Ianto Jones Campaign'. The timing of Ianto's death was unusual, in that the death of a main character occurred in the middle of a story. This worked well however as it prevented the moment from being overshadowed by the dramatic conclusion to the series.
Day Five opened with a chilling monologue delivered by Gwen. This gives the viewer cause to think about the Doctor's motives and if humanity really deserves his help. This foreshadows the events of the episode as those in power make shameful decisions which offer a poor reflection of humanity. In the dénouement to the series however, it is Jack who makes the most human decision of them all. A decision based on common sense; the life of one, to save the lives of the majority. It was a commendable choice, but also one which bore an immense personal cost for Jack. In the instant of saving the children of Earth, Jack ensured the relationship with his daughter was destroyed beyond repair. To save the world at such a cost is the hallmark of a true hero, and with Jack he also shows the qualities of a good man. His internal conflict and guilt over his actions show who he truly is.
Children of Earth was Torchwood at its best. Taking the characters and furthering their development, whilst introducing new memorable characters. The story was simple, yet dark gritty and typical of a tone we have come to associate with Torchwood. If we are lucky enough to ever have another series of the show, I would hope for something like this. I feel the format was just right, not too long, but a bigger story which was heavily invested in by its viewers. A true masterpiece!

Totally loved this. Awesome awesome awesome. So sad. Capaldi was amazing, I cried at Ianto's death, and the ending. Brilliant premise, using children for drugs, did not see that coming! I love Eve Myles, she's my favourite.
As a younger viewer of Torchwood I only watched COE last year, I was already quite scared of watching it as I was completely freaked out by the trailer. When the 456 motive was introduced I must have been frozen in a fixed state of shock.
On another note I don't see why people are so against MD. It was out of the normal theme of Torchwood but I still found it enjoyable. It was trying to play on the corruption of government thing again. The only thing that spoil it was the ending. With that move it basically buried its own grave for fan who already were displeased by the series.
I hated it! It sucked so much just because of Tosh and Owen not being there, but Ianto's death?! Seriously, when Ianto died so did Torchwood. I'm not sure i even want to watch another season without him (miracle day was just... too terrible for words). And this is coming from someone who loves Torchwood.
After watching COE when it first aired, I was completely blown away and pretty sure I never wanted to see it again, lol! I was shattered, particularly by Peter Capaldi's performance. But it was re-aired on BBC America last summer, in order to familiarize American audiences with Mr. Capaldi, and I watched it. And was again blown away by it. IMHO, PC's performance as John Frobisher is like a master class in acting. :)
Children of Earth is great. If only the rest of Torchwood was that good.
I have to be honest, of anything RTD did that was Doctor Who-related, I think Children of Earth niled it best. It may have its flaws, but the overall effect is memorable and works well.
Yes a true masterpiece and a very chilling watch. Shame it went downhill after this one.
Children of Earth was actually how I started watching Torchwood. I watched the first episode of the first series when it came out, and I wasn't all that impressed. It wasn't my kind of thing. So I let it go for a year or two, and then this came along. And it was genius. And it was wonderful and horrible. And it rocked me to my core. So I went back and I watched the rest of it.
It still didn't compare, to be honest. I actually never watched the end of Miracle Day. As far as I'm concerned, it's THAT BAD.
But this was genius. It was wonderful and horrible. And it rocked me to my core.
I wish they made 'em like this more often.
I have a bad feeling that Miracle Day was the death of Torchwood. It is a shame because Children of Earth is a masterpiece but it set the bar for which every future series had to match. MD just didn't live up to COE. I would like to see Series 5 return Torchwood to its roots and maybe finish of the cliffhangers from MD. Get a whole new team working alongside Jack and Gwen.
I wouldn't say Children of Earth was just Torchwood at its best. It was one of the best sci-fi stories in the entire genre. I know that may sound like hyperbole, but that is genuinely how I feel about it.
Superb performances, gut-wrenching horror, fabulous broadcasting decision (once per weekday in a single week was amazing), and it climaxed with an alternate look at The Doctor and who he is and what he stands for.
Not to mention the superb Peter Capaldi.
I just recently started watching Doctor who and Torchwood. I just finished Season 4 of Doctor Who and this week I watched Torchwood Children of earth. I loved it. I think Torchwood worked best in this Mini series format. Having the show be one plot just gave the work and lives of these characters the kind of pressure and drama that Everyday would be for such an agency. These characters don't grow much because their lives are always in hyper drive and having the plot drawn out over 5 episodes really left room for real moments between the small cast and guest cast. Even though the guest cast were brand new and I didn't know Jack had a daughter. I felt the emotion at the major decisions for everyone. And in some way I think Children of Earth would have been a good book end to Jack's first Doctor Who episodes. A message coming from a child. Somewhat his responsibility. But I love Jack so I'm glad for the potential for more episodes and I still have Miracle Day to watch.
I never understood why everyone was so afraid of the 456, Why they didn't just kill it
Love this Article! I watched Torchwood after Smiths Finale. This was by far my favorite part of the series. Capaldis finale scene made my jaw drop. Great show!
Ah I remember when I was first watching this. Here in Greece, it was broadcast at 1 AM during my exams. The exam programme was loose then and I was praying so as not have an exam the next day. What a magnificent series of episode it was. It blew my mind and I was surprised by that because until then my opinion on Torchwood was meh. But that wa sgenuinely fantastic.
Wow, this article really sums up what Children of Earth is. It was genuinely scary, something that doesn't really happen much in the Whoniverse, because it was so realistic. I still find it hard to rewatch, especially Day 4.
Stories like this kind of make me wish wish sometimes that Doctor Who is a series of 5/6 episodes with this quality and the christmas special
although this was by far the best Torchwood series, it was still pretty bad. It started pretty strongly, but fell off at the last couple of episodes. The conclusion was some lame RTD techno-babble nonsense, it was full of plotholes and redshirts only there to be killed off for shock value (jacks grandson), iantos death was pointless and didn't advance to plot atall, and needlessly annoyed the fandom. I wasn't particularly fond of ianto but he was BY FAR the best and most realistic character on the team; jack is pretty bland and JB's hammy acting isn't helping either; as for Gwen - MARY SUE or what? I rolled my eyes so much at her mary sue-ness, they almost got stuck at one point. Capaldi was the best thing about COE, he completely outclassed the whole torchwood cast, no sweat.
In my opinion, Children of Earth is one of the best pieces of Adult Sci-Fi to ever grace television. It is a true masterpiece, and is a shining example of what Torchwood can (and should) do.
It was very stripped back. The main character list was reduced to three, yet it worked. Children of Earth was compelling drama and despite being a spin-off it really found its feet as individual and separate.
I haven't met anyone who DOESN'T like Children of Earth.
Fantastic Article!
Children of Earth is by and large my favourite Whoniverse story, and one of the most magnificent pieces of television I have ever seen. I have always enjoyed every series of Torchwood, but it is Series 3 that elevates the show beyond just "good sci-fi" into the realm of true masterpiece. Every member of the cast was on top form, with John Barrowman giving by far his most layered performance as Jack and Peter Capaldi turns in one of the most stunning performances I've ever seen from an actor, and I do not say that lightly (RTD himself called it the greatest performance in anything ever). Ben Foster also really stepped up his game, and gives the score the perfect amount of action, suspense and sheer emotional gravitas that the story needed. It's once in a blue moon that every aspect of a production aligns and clicks together perfectly, but when it does happen, you get something like Children of Earth.
Looking back now, it only makes me more saddened that Torchwood has been abandoned so coldly and without conclusion. I liked Miracle Day, despite the flaws, but one need only look at Children of Earth to see just why Torchwood warrants proper attention. Whether that be bringing the show back entirely or having it cross over with Doctor Who again, or both, we need more Torchwood on our screens, if only to give it the ending it deserves. Thanks a bunch for writing this!
I like to think of "Children of Earth" as "the good series". Absolutely stunning television, particularly given the mediocrity of the previous and following seasons.
Thank you Mark for another beautiful piece of writing! Your comments about the supporting performers are particularly perceptive and moving, especially regarding Capaldi's impeccable performance as Frobisher. Thanks Mark!
Brilliant Article! I was only nine years old when I first watched this... It terrified me more then any Horror film could ever :D Will there be a Perspective Article on Miracle Day? I always thought it was underrated :)
A terrific piece of storytelling. Russell T Davies, James Moran and John Fay outdid themselves. And well done Mark, really really good article.
I agree it was good, but Miracle weeks too long was Seasonal Rot.
A great article!
Can't read this yet. I have been watching Torchwood, I got easily thought season 1 and two, but Children of the Earth is different. I have been able to watch Day 1, 2 and 3, but it has took me two weeks. It it GOOD, but it tears me apart. I just can't...
I KNOW what will happen, I have two more days to go (and they'll take more than two weeks, I just can't watch Jack loosing Ianto).
I know, I'm too much emotionally involved.
I never got to watch any series of Torchward because I was too young when it originally came out. I now feel like I want to watch it but not sure where to start. I am familiar of the concept of the show and the characters but don't know whether I should pick the story up from like series 2, or just start out from the top to get the whole picture. Can anyone recommend what I should do.
Cheers :)
I loved Torchwood: Children of Earth. I watch it every so often and still enjoy it. Miracle Day was, in my opinion, an average story that was dragged out for too long. I enjoyed it, but it should have been over 5 nights like COE. I've said it once and I'll say it again - episodes 2-4 were pointless. The story told in them could easily have been 1 episode. The remaining episodes had bits of filler as well - take that out and they could easily have told MD in 5 nights.
Great article, I love Children Of Earth. On a sadder note, R.I.P. Kate O'Mara (The Rani)
CoE was so brilliant and horrifying I still refuse to watch the last two episodes.
Can never get over Ianto going, he was my favourite, just like Children of Earth was my fav series, less said about Miracle Day the better!! R.I.P Kate O'Mara (The Rani) :(
The uk is not very good at electing PMs in the Whoniverse, Harriet jones to Harold Saxon to this guy
I enjoyed this season very much but where the hell was the doctor also during miricle day?
I loved Children of Earth. I was fascinated into that series and I have to say, I say it's one of my favourite arcs related to Doctor Who. Yeah I know, call me silly but I was always gripped into the Children of Earth storyline. That being said, I have a soft spot for Torchwood, I just find it great. And I'll even say Miracle Day was great for me.
By the way, I know this is off-topic, but I have sadness to inform everyone that Kate O'Mara has sadly died :( R.I.P The Rani
Since the BBC are pulling money from BBC THREE, and we have characters left from Children like Lois, a new series of Torchwood is totally plausible! Add Rhys, plus a new love interest for Jack and some good writers and we're off!
@Polyphase I agree, i wish they had.
@Ood Michael ...Is this supposed to be for real?
@Ood Michael what plot holes? (I'm curious as I haven't rewatched it in while)
@Clara LaurindaThanks =) Hope all is well with you. I'm sorry I haven't replied to your email yet. I will do soon =)
@MrThorfan64 I was very disappointing with Season 4. After Children of Earth it seemed like it could of had so much potential...

Quite a few important concepts and things from character's histories appear throughout Series One, plus there's quite a few great episodes (Ghost Machine, Small Worlds, Countrycide, Greeks Bearing Gifts, They Keep Killing (using its original spoiler-free title there), Out of Time, and the fantastic two-part finale).
@TimeLordLiam I'd started watching when I was 10 countrycide scared the s*** out of me series 1 is good but at times its a bit immature, series 2 is an improvement and series 4 is good but the science is wrong at times and there's a few plot holes and inconsistancies with Doctor whos canon
@TimeLordLiam I'd definitely start from Series 1. While Series 1 isn't brilliant (although episodes like "Cyberwoman", "Small Worlds", "Countrycide" and "End of Days" are brilliant), it's much easier to follow. And it only gets better - Series 2 is my joint favourite (episodes 6, 7, and 8 are perfection, and the series stays at that high standard from then on) with one of the best finales to anything ever, and then Children of Earth is… well, I'll just end up repeating this article. But it's stunning. Miracle Day is a bit of a disappointment, however. It's still worth a watch and has some pretty decent stories in it (and some really great twists), but it's not as high a quality or as gripping as the previous two series. Nevertheless, it's still better than most things on TV nowadays!
I hope you enjoy it!
@TimeLordLiam I'd strongly recommend starting from the start, at Series 1. Yes, the writing is inconsistent and not that great at times, but there are a few gems in there, and ultimately it's worth getting to know the characters and see how they develop over the next few series. Series 2 is a significant improvement in writing over the first, it's clear sailing from there.
@VERITASERUMUK I never noticed that but you're right. I did find myself getting fed up with miracle day by the end of it. As a 10 episode series it was way too long, it felt extremely boring at times and it started out good but then lost its pace which it only got back roughly 6/10ths of the way though in my opinion. If anyone who hasn't watched it wants to, bare in mind it has its fair share of duds and while this isn't too bad in a series that's relatively stand alone or relatively stand alone but with an overarching plot hidden through-out the series but in something with a continuing plot over 10 episodes, it can tend to be crippled by it a tad.
@VERITASERUMUK Every episode of Miracle Day could have been stuck together to form five hour-long episodes. The problem Miracle Day suffered from was that it didn't have an actual plot, just a tagline from which the episodes were constructed. Take Dead of Night, for instance: only the beginning and the end of the episodes have anything to do with the rest of the series.
@VERITASERUMUK I agree. Miracle Day was a good idea, but it was too long, large parts of episodes felt like padding. The term TV Tropes uses is Seasonal Rot.
@DavidChippa The reason we haven't had a new series isn't financial (Starz's CEO has said he'd loved for the show to return) but because RTD has been busy what with his new shows on Channel 4, Wizards vs Aliens and personal matters.
@DavidChippa That's good to hear!
@Baker Street @TimeLordLiam Thanks guys! I'll definitely start off at series one when I have the time :)

Subject: SMS Banking
Hi All,
Im designing an SMS baking application but i need to research on the
security risks involved first. Im thinking of subscribing mobile phone
number along with a pin. eg Number 222-222-222 PIN 20029. So when the
individual wants to enquire his balance, he sends a text messgae like
Bal 20029 i.e. BAL PINNUMBER. The control here is that the sms and pin
has to come from the subscribed number and only that number. I also
want to be able to allow subscribers to tranfer funds to pre
determined service providers such as utility companies etc.
What are the risks around this application? How are such applications
normally subverted? Are there any case studies someone can point me
to? What are the various authentication methods as i appreciate mine
can not be the best?
Your help will be most appreciated.

It didn't take too long before the stuffing was torn out, but it was so much fun watching them play with it, before it was destroyed. Hopefully they'll make a more durable one.
Pros: two of my dogs love it
Cons: one doesn't

Brantley Co. teen struck, killed in bicycle accident
Brantley County deputies say a 14-year-old boy has died after being hit by a car while riding his bicycle.
Capt. Wade Bennett of the Brantley County Sheriff's Office told the Florida Times-Union Justin Cody Smith was riding his bike Monday morning when two vehicles approached from behind. Police say the boy apparently thought there was one car behind him, switched lanes and began riding in the path of a second car.
Officials say a Chevrolet Suburban hit the boy and knocked him into a ditch. He was pronounced dead on the scene and authorities say charges are not likely to be filed.

In recent years, biologists have recognized that birds engage in play. Juvenile Common Ravens are among the most playful of bird species. They have been observed to slide down snowbanks, apparently purely for fun. They even engage in games with other species, such as playing catch-me-if-you-can with wolves, otters and dogs.[77] Common Ravens are known for spectacular aerobatic displays, such as flying in loops or interlocking talons with each other in flight.[78][79]
They are also one of only a few wild animals who make their own toys. They have been observed breaking off twigs to play with socially.[80]

DIY Inspiration: Harry Potter's "The Tale of the Three Brothers" painted by Liz Kirkham from her blog When Boredom Strikes here. I was looking for this picture that I had reblogged from someone else on Tumblr and realized the source was Pinterest (NO!). So I found the original source. Liz Kirkham painted the entire chapter of "The Tale of Three Brothers" from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Go to the link for really high resolution photos of her process. *In the comments Liz Kirkham said that a permanent marker may have worked better than a paintbrush. She wrote, "I used a can of really old black paint and a crummy paintbrush."

An alarming number of private tenants - sixty per cent - believe UK letting fees are poor value for money, according to a recent poll. The survey, carried out by Populus, found that nearly half of private renters felt that letting fees did not reflect the time and effort put in by the letting agent.
You can almost smell the contempt from here, but if out elected representatives think they can get away with playing politics with people's homes - as we have also seen in Newham - they are quite wrong.
Our mid twenties without Google search would be a shameful series of questions to family members starting with 'I know I should know this but...' whilst gazing wearily down at our Young person railcards. Much like the deteriorative hangover, the road to 30 creeps up without warning or fan fare..
We are hearing a lot about development at the moment. The Mayor of London has released an audacious paper about what London should look like. From the Olympics to the airports debate everyone is excited about the modernising face of London. And yet too often ordinary people are promised affordable homes, then shut out of the development process whilst space is eaten up by unaccountable giants.
The grim reality of London's private renting crisis was graphically exposed to the wider world this June when in Islington we banned a tiny 'shoebox' flat from being rented out. In the widely-shared photo from the letting agent's site, you could see the bed blocking the cupboard doors under the hob; the fact it was snapped up, in less than a day, for £737 a month was a cruel expression of the desperation so many tenants' face.
When the recession hit, it wiped out livelihoods and decimated entire markets. In the face of a global slump, Britain's housing sector was no exception; buyers couldn't afford to buy and builders couldn't afford to build. Over the course of several years, the pace of the property market dropped from jet stream to tumbleweed and the UK was left with an increasingly problematic housing deficit.
Britain is rightly proud of its track record of job creation, but a successful 21st Century economy requires more. Ahead of the 2015 Election, it is time for all parties to face up to the changing face of the labour market, and set out their commitments to building a more sustainable, productive and robust economy that offers opportunities for all workers, and cities, throughout the UK.
Opening the London papers on the commute home, the almost daily stories about the housing crisis facing London make for ever more gloomy reading. Housing is becoming too expensive for all but the richest Londoners with tenants in the private sector spending 59 per cent of their wages on rent.
Despite London's housing crisis being one of the black marks on Boris Johnson's mayoral legacy, the key to making housing in our capital more affordable is straightforward and widely agreed - to increase supply and ensure this supply is genuinely affordable to your average person.
It is demeaning, they argue, to stand in line for a food parcel. But is it really any less demeaning to stand in a not dissimilar line at the door of a job centre or welfare office. Don't both turn people into state dependents?
'Northern Flight' has seldom left my mind since it finished. It provides an emotive exploration of the issues that lie at the heart of the city's identity. Patrick's words to me at the end of our interview have filled my thoughts and followed me through the streets of this beautiful city: "Liverpool is a city that tells you that you can do something, rather than that you can't."
There are words that have all the impact of a car alarm going off in the middle of the night. They scream at you, but most of the time they mean nothing. One such word is 'transformation'.
There are plenty of reasons why guys annoy us once we're living with them - and your complaints will, most likely, be legit. However, girls aren't exactly easy to live with, either. In fact, people in general are difficult to live with. So how about we all cut each other some slack?
Being a "good landlord" is not one that seeks to make excessive profit out of their tenants, nor play with their security. But in this overheated property market, all the power lies with the person who owns the property, and why wouldn't they want to make the biggest return they can?
Rewind a few decades to when the Conservatives, under Margaret Thatcher, were selling off council houses under the Right To Buy scheme. The then Secretary of State for the Environment, Michael Heseltine, said that home ownership helps to foster "attitudes of independence and self-reliance, the bedrock of a free society".
The election itself will inevitably focus on issues that matter most to voters - from jobs and housing to wages and welfare. But it is less well recognised that the election in 2015 will be determined primarily in our urban areas, and that the fortunes of each of the major political parties depend upon how they perform in, and help support, UK cities.
