The River Darent or River Darenth is a Kentish tributary of the River Thames in England. Its name is believed to be from a Celtic word meaning 'river where oak-trees grow' (compare "Derwent"). The tidal part of the river is known as Dartford Creek.
Fed by springs in the greensand hills south of Westerham in Kent[1] and below Limpsfield Chart in Surrey it flows for 21 miles (34 km) eastwards and then northwards past the villages of Otford and Shoreham, past the castle and ruined Roman villa at Lullingstone, past Eynsford, Farningham, Horton Kirby, South Darenth, Sutton-at-Hone, Darenth, and through the large town of Dartford. North of Dartford the Darent receives the waters of the River Cray from the west as it passes through Dartford Marshes and Crayford Marshes, where it forms a boundary between Greater London and Kent (and specifically, the London Borough of Bexley and the borough of Dartford). The Darent joins the Thames near Crayford Ness.[2][3][4]
On the river, close the junction with the River Thames is the Darent Flood Barrier. Which has two 160-tonne [5] drop leaf gates which are lowered if the sea (from the tidal Thames) threatens to inundate the land.[6] The barrier is managed by the Environment Agency.[7]
As its name suggests, Dartford ('Tarentefort' in the Domesday Book) was once a fording place over the Darent where it crossed the road from London to the Kent coast. There are records of a ford operating in Roman times. A ferry, operated by a hermit, was established there by 1235. The post of hermit continued until 1518, long after the first bridge was built (a footbridge, constructed during the reign of Henry IV (1399–1413) and surviving until the mid-18th century). The landscapes of the river's valley were painted in a visionary manner by the early Victorian artist Samuel Palmer.
The river is largely small and peaceful, a surprise given the breadth of the valley it has cut out. Apparently the 'proto-Darent' was formerly much larger than the present day but the River Medway, through erosion of the soft chalk and clays of the North Downs/Western Weald, has captured much of the headwaters that once supplied the Darent.[8]
The river was used for trade and in 1835 approximately 50,000 to 60,000 tons per annum were being carried on the river. The size of the river limited single cargoes to 50 long tons (51 t) even on spring tides and as a result a ship canal was proposed. The proposal was unable to overcome its critics and as a result in 1839 an alternative based on dredging the river and a few short cuts was taken up. An Act of Parliament was passed in 1840 allowing construction to start and tolls to be levied once the work was complete. The project was completed in 1844 and included shortening the upper part of the navigation through the use of a cut and dredging.[2]
By 1989 it was realised that the flow of the river was decreasing dramatically, when it was officially recognised as the 'lowest flow' river in the country. Wildlife was being destroyed. Since then much work has been carried out to rectify the situation, including shutting down of a number of boreholes along its length, by the Environment Agency. A sculpture was unveiled in 2004 to celebrate the renewed life of the river, depicting the wildlife which has been saved.

The River Darent powered a number of watermills. From source to mouth they are:
Westerham (Elm View) Mill[edit]
The miller at this corn mill in 1771 was James Marchane, who was joined by his son James. James Jr died in 1805 and James Sr died c.1812. The mill was sketched by G. Samuel in 1818. It had an overshot waterwheel.[3][10] The cast iron overshot waterwheel was 12 feet (3.66 m) by 2 feet 9.5 inches (0.85 m). It was fitted in 1868, replacing a wooden wheel which may have been breast shot. In 1890, the waterwheel was adapted to drive a set of pumps to supply Westerham. An average of 25,000 imperial gallons (110,000 l) could be supplied. The milling machinery was removed in 1936 and during the Second World War a doodlebug landed nearby and blew the roof of the mill off. The derelict building stood in April 1954, but had been demolished by July 1960.[11]
Darenth (Tower Wood) Mill[edit]
This corn mill had an external cast iron overshot waterwheel carried on a wooden axle. The mill was working up to the outbreak of the First World War and demolished in the 1930s. It had two pairs of millstones.[11]
Squerryes (Spring Shaw) Mill, Westerham[edit]
Squerryes, or Spring Shaw Mill was a corn mill with a cast iron overshot waterwheel some 9 feet (2.74 m) or 10 feet (3.05 m) diameter and 3 feet (0.91 m) wide. The mill was marked as disused on the 1895 6" Ordnance Survey map. It was a small building of 17 feet 6 inches (5.33 m) square and had been demolished by 1955. Little is known of the machinery except that the upright shaft was wooden and of 11.5 inches (290 mm) diameter. The wooden great spur wheel was of compass arm construction.[11]
Valence Pump, Brasted[edit]
This water powered pump was driven by a cast iron high breast shot waterwheel of 16 feet (4.88 m) by 3 feet 5 inches (1.04 m). A 6 feet (1.83 m) diameter cast iron spur geared pitwheel drove two ram pumps. The pump dated from 1858 and was still in existence in 1980.[11]
Brasted Mill[edit]
This was a corn mill, now converted to a dwelling.[3] The cast iron breast shot waterwheel was 13 feet (3.96 m) by 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m).[11] In September 1812, James Weight, miller of Brasted, was claiming relief for himself, his wife and five children. A man by the name of Staples who went by the name of Chapman had leased the mill in Brasted in 1812; he claimed relief in January 1815.[12] The mill ceased work in the 1920s and the machinery was removed c. 1934.[11]
Sundridge Mill[edit]
This was a paper mill. In December 1822 Nicholas Tapsfield, papermaker of Sundridge was claiming relief for himself and his wife Mary. He had been apprenticed at a paper mill at East Malling. In December 1831, Thomas Green, papermaker of Sundridge was claiming relief for himself, his wife and five children. He had been apprenticed in 1804 to William Dacie at a paper mill in Bermondsey, then to a Mr Hall in St. Mary Cray when Dacie retired. In March 1832, Henry Sparks, papermaker of Sundridge was claiming relief for himself, wife Susanna and five children. He had been apprenticed to Messrs. Smith & Knight at Godalming in 1796, serving only four years. In May 1839, Henry Thomas, papermaker of Sundridge was claiming relief for himself. He had been a papermaker all his working life.[3][12] The internal overshot waterwheel was 12 feet 6 inches (3.81 m) by 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m), carried on an oak axle. Sundridge Mill produced paper for the Bank of England until its closure in 1901, business being transferred to Eynsford Paper Mill. The mill buildings were converted to a laundry, and the waterwheel was removed c. 1914 to be replaced by steam power. The mill was demolished in October 1969.[11]
Chipstead Mill, Chevening[edit]
Chipstead Mill was a four storey building which had been enlarged in the late 19th century.[11] It worked until after the Second World War,[3] but the machinery had been removed by 1950. The waterwheel was overshot and drove two pairs of French Burr millstones. A steam engine provided auxiliary power until it was replaced by a 75 horsepower (56 kW) suction gas engine. Roller milling plant had been installed in the 1890s but milling ceased in the 1920s. The mill building was standing in the 1980s.[11]
Longford Mill, Dunton Green[edit]
This was a corn mill rebuilt by Weeks of Maidstone in 1859, it had an internal cast iron overshot waterwheel 7 feet (2.13 m) by 12 feet (3.66 m), which had probably replaced a breast shot waterwheel of larger diameter.[11] The waterwheel drove three pairs of millstones. Electricity replaced water power between the wars, and the mill last worked in 1947. The stones of the mill were said to have been caused to run backwards at one time through the mill being bewitched.[3][13][14][15] The mill drove three pairs of millstones, the machinery being mostly of cast iron. The mill building survived until 1987 when the site was redeveloped.[11]
Otford Mill[edit]
There was a watermill in Otford in 1541. The last mill on this site was a corn mill with two waterwheels. It was latterly used as a saw mill and burnt down on 7 January 1924. A picture of the mill can be seen here. The breastshot waterwheel remained in 1930.[3][13][16][17] One waterwheel was of wood construction, driving three pairs of French Burr millstones and one pair of Peak millstones. The machinery was all wooden. The second waterwheel was of cast iron, driving two pairs of French Burr stones vis cast iron machinery.[11]
Upper Mill, Shoreham[edit]
This was a corn mill. Originally powered by an internal breast shot waterwheel of some 14 feet (4.27 m) by 6 feet (1.83 m) driving one pair of French Burr millstones and one pair of Peak millstones. The great spur wheel was a cast iron wheel with wooden cogs. The waterwheel had been replaced by a turbine which drove the millstones via a great spur wheel that was only 3 feet 3 inches (990 mm) diameter. The mill was house converted in 1971.[11]
Lower (Shoreham Paper) Mill, Shoreham[edit]
This was the site of a fulling mill belonging to Palsters Manor. It was bought by the Passele family in the 14th century. The manor passed to Francis Sandbach in 1578 and was willed to John Polhill. He bought the fulling mill in 1602. The last mill on the site was a paper mill; it was demolished in 1936.[3][16][18] The low breast shot waterwheel was 16 feet (4.88 m) by 8 feet (2.44 m). It drove machinery via a layshaft driven from the spur geared pitwheel.[11] The mill was demolished in the 1930s.[19] The paper mill had been run for over 200 years by the Wilmot family.[11]
Wood Mill, Eynsford[edit]
Although it is said that this mill, which stood just downstream of Eynsford Bridge, was a corn mill with an undershot waterwheel[3][13] other evidence shows this to have been a water powered saw mill which had been erected c. 1853. It may have stood on the site of an earlier mill.[11]
Old Mill, Eynsford[edit]
This was a corn mill. It stands immediately downstream of the bridge by Eynsford ford. The low breast shot waterwheel was 8 feet (2.44 m) diameter in 1887, being replaced by one of at least 10 feet (3.05 m) diameter. It was 10 feet (3.05 m) wide. The millstones were only 3 feet (910 mm) diameter, suggesting that only a limited amount of flour was available. The mill was working until 1911, no auxiliary power being used. The building was house converted in the 1920s and survives today.[11]
Eynsford Paper Mill[edit]
This paper mill was founded in 1648[11] by Hugenot refugees.[3] The paper mill replaced an earlier corn mill. In 1882, it is recorded as having a waterwheel 18 feet 3 inches (5.56 m) by 8 feet (2.44 m). The mill suffered two fires in the 20th century but was rebuilt.[11] It was working until 1952 but has now been demolished.[3]
Farningham Mill[edit]
A mill has been on this site since Domesday. In the 15th century the mill was in the possession of the Roper family, Sir Anthony Roper being charged with "pulling down and allowing the watermill to decay and become uninhabited" in 1636. He was ordered to rebuild the mill within two years. The present building built by the Colyers dates to c.1780. The mill was a corn mill; the converted building survives. A curious feature is that the door on the north side of the east face is painted on, to look symmetrical with the real door. The mill was latterly worked by a turbine which drove a saw mill in its final years of operation. The mill last worked for trade in 1900.[3][16][20]
Franks Generating Station, Horton Kirby[edit]
This installation was of the late 19th century. A turbine drove a generating plant to provide electricity to Franks Hall. After it ceased to be used, the turbine is said to have been installed in Westminster Mill.[11]
Westminster Mill, Horton Kirby[edit]
This was a corn mill which stood upstream of the paper mill. Henry Knight was a miller in Horton who died in 1724 and Thomas Welch was a miller in Horton who died in 1734. George Cannon took the mill in the early 1830s. In 1843 he was bankrupt as a common brewer, an occupation he carried on along with the mill. Ill health forced his retirement in 1852, and the mill was bought by his brother Stephen. His son, also Stephen, was running Old Mill from 1850, then being 14 years old. Stephen Cannon (father) died in 1872 and Stephen Cannon (son) sold Westminster Mill and Old Mill in order to concentrate the milling business at a mill in Bexley. Latterly the waterwheel was replaced by a turbine and the mill generated electricity. The mill burnt down when struck by lightning in 1908 and was rebuilt as a factory which made shoe laces. The factory closed down in 1991 and the mill has been demolished and the site redeveloped as housing.[3][4][21][22][23][24]
Horton Kirby Paper Mill[edit]
This mill is under the viaduct of the Chatham Main Line railway. In 1700 there were two corn mills and a forge here. The mill was rebuilt by Henry Hall in 1820 as a paper mill. Paper from this mill was used to print The Sphere and The Tatler; photographs of the paper making process at the mill were used in the first edition of The Children's Encyclopedia. Henry Hall was the proprietor in 1840. An illustration of the machine house c.1880 can be seen here. The mill has a chimney 230 feet (70 m) high, which is a listed building. The mill was last used as a factory and closed in 2003, with plans being put forward for conversion to housing use in 2005.[3][21][23][25][26][27][28] The chimney dates to 1880.[11]
Frog Lane Mill, Sutton at Hone[edit]
This corn mill was of the 19th century. The cast iron breast shot waterwheel was 10 feet (3.05 m) by 6 feet (1.83 m) carried on a 5 inches (130 mm) square axle. An unusual feature of this mill was that the pitwheel was the same diameter as the waterwheel. The mill had ceased working by 1914. The upper storeys of the mill were demolished in February 1936, leaving the brick base, waterwheel and some machinery. These had been cleared away by June 1965.[11]
South Darenth Mill[edit]
TQ 563 697 South Darenth Mill was a brick building that replaced an earlier mill that burnt down in 1879. This mill was run by the Cannon family. The mill had a cast iron waterwheel which drove three pairs of millstones. A steam engine provided auxiliary power. In 1894, roller milling plant was installed but milling ceased in 1905. The building was severely damaged in the Great Storm of 1987.[11]
Darenth Paper Mill[edit]
TQ 558 714 Darenth Paper Mill was working until 1931 when it was taken over by Messrs Portals Ltd, of Laverstoke, Hampshire. In 1910, it was in the occupation of Messrs T H Saunders & Co Ltd, also at Hawley Mills and Beech and Rye Mills, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. The breast shot waterwheel was of cast iron with wooden floats. It was12 feet (3.66 m) by 10 feet (3.05 m).[11]
Sutton (Old, Sutton at Hone, Darenth Corn, Little Darenth) Mill[edit]
This corn mill stood at Old Mill Farm. It was built by Thomas Edmeads in the early 19th century. In 1806 the tenant millers were Stephen and George Cannon. The Cannon brothers were declared bankrupt in May 1816 but discharged their debts and returned to milling. George Cannon was again declared bankrupt in 1823. Stephen Cannon had three sons William, George and Stephen. They all learnt the milling trade at his mill.
Stephen Cannon later bought the mill and it passed to his daughter Harriet on his death on 27 February 1856. The mill remained in the Cannon family until 1872, and the mill house until 1888. Latterly the mill had a steam engine and a tall chimney.[3][22][29] During the First World War, a bomb hit the mill, but did not explode, although the mill was put out of action. The mill was demolished in September 1928. Photographs of the mill during demolition reveal the cast iron low breast shot waterwheel drove three pairs of millstones via a cast iron layshaft. The original wooden upright shaft and crown wheel were retained.[11]
Hawley Mills, Sutton at Hone[edit]
A site mentioned in Domesday, the mills here were held by the manor of Bignoures and belonged to the Knights of St. John in the Middle Ages, being let at a peppercorn rent to the Prioress of Dartford Nunnery. A wheat mill and a malt mill were released to one George Tasser in 1534. William Vaughan received them from the Crown in 1546 and the mills reverted to the Crown when he died in 1580. The two mills were granted to John Spilman (later Sir John Spilman) by the Crown in 1581.
In 1588, Spilman converted the corn mill into a paper mill, and obtained a monopoly for his paper by manipulating the favour and patronage of successive monarchs. Thomas Churchyard wrote a long poem in 1588, the first description of the papermaking process. Spielman employed 600 men, mainly Germans. The mills remained in the Spilman family until 1679, then a Mr Blackman was the owner in 1686 but he was bankrupt by 1739. Messrs. Pike and Edsall purchased the mill and converted it into a gunpowder mill.There were explosions here in 1745, 1790, 1795, 1796, 1799 and 1833. These killed at least forty people. Edsall went bankrupt in 1778 and the mills were purchased by Messrs Pigou and Andrews. The mill was a papermill by 1840, when William Wiggins was the owner.
The malt mill was not required by Spilman, and he leased it to Godfrey Box of Liège. He erected an iron rolling and slitting mill (for the manufacture of nails; the first in England) between 1590 and 1595, which by 1758 had two waterwheels, one working the upper roller, the other working the lower rollers and a guillotine. A company of "white paper makers" was established here in 1694 and during the 18th century the mill was owned by a Mr Quelch.[3][28][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]
Dartford Powder Mills[edit]
Approximately TQ 548 728
The Powder Mills were in operation from c. 1730, possibly on the site of Spilman's paper mill of 1588. It was in operation until the 20th century.[11]
Lower Paper Mill, Dartford[edit]
Lower Mill was built in the mid-17th century, and closed in 1790. Later it was used as a zinc rolling mill and a printing works for silk and calico.[11]
Victoria Mills, Dartford[edit]
Victoria Mills stood on the site of a 15th-century fulling mill and an old wire mill, mentioned by William Lambarde in 1570 as a glazing mill. This was used for polishing armoured plate. In the early 19th century there were three mills here; an oil mill, a mustard mill and a corn mill in the late 18th century it was owned by a Mr Fomereau and worked by the Loder family. The corn mill was a four storey wood structure built in 1790. In the early 19th century, miller James Hard was appointed miller to King George IV. It had a wrought iron breast shot waterwheel of 20' diameter driving four pairs of millstones.[3][33][38][39][40]
Colyers (Orchard's, Bridge, Acacia Hall) Mill, Dartford[edit]
In 1217 King John granted a mill worth 100/- a year, situated in Dartford to Michael de Wallensi and in 1221 William, Prior of Rochester, granted to Alan Martel, Prior of the Knights Templar, half an acre of land by the mill. The mill belonged to the Bishop of Rochester in 1253 and in 1299 was known as Orchard's mill, being then privately owned. Henry Colyer was the miller in 1840.[28][33][41] The mill was later run by R & H Strickland Ltd, although milling ceased in 1893 and the building was stripped of its machinery, including a large cast iron waterwheel and a steam engine, in 1898. It then served as a social club for Messrs Burroughs Wellcome & Co. The mill burnt down on 24 January 1962.[11]
Silk Printing Works, Dartford[edit]
There was a silk printing works in Dartford which is said to have been powered by a waterwheel. It was said that the waterwheel had been "recently removed" in 1986 as part of a clearance programme for the section of river that the works stood on.[11]
Phoenix Mill, Dartford[edit]
This was the furthermost mill on the Darent. About 1650 one John Brown erected a "brassell" mill for splitting iron into rods and nails. Nicholas Tooke owned the mill in 1656 followed by Charles Mauum from 1687 to 1719 and then Messrs. Cooke and Coolson in 1779. The brassell mill gave way to a saw mill, then in 1790 a seven storey cotton mill was built. This burnt down in 1795 and a smaller building, the Phoenix Mill was erected in 1797. George Willding was the miller and Messrs Saunders and Harrison were mustard makers here in 1840. T H Saunders rebuilt it in 1855. William Masters was a workman here until his death in 1873, and has a memorial in Horton Kirby church. It was a paper mill and closed in 1889.[24][28][38][42]
Various tributaries feed into the River Darent. They also powered a number of watermills.
Stream at Brasted[edit]
Mill Farm Mill, Brasted[edit]
Mill Farm Mill may have been built in 1705, which is the date of the Mill House. It was worked by the Smith family, ceasing work c. 1858. The 14 feet (4.27 m) by 3 feet (0.91 m) cast iron waterwheel and machinery were removed before the First World War. The building was standing in 1954, converted to a garage.[11]
Stream at Chevening[edit]
Whitley (Dibden) Mill, Chevening[edit]
This mill stood deep in woodland west of Sevenoaks. It was held by Ralph Bosville of Bradbourne Manor in the 16th century. The mill was in existence until at least the mid-19th century[14] but had ceased working by 1900. The overshot waterwheel of composite construction was carried on a wooden axle 9 feet 6 inches (2.90 m) long and 18 inches (460 mm) square at the waterwheel, 12 inches (300 mm) diameter in the mill.[11] The mill was in ruins by the 1920s[43]
Stream at Ightham[edit]
Ightham Mill[edit]
A tributary rising near St. Cleres is reputed to have driven a watermill, possibly the one at Ightham recorded in 1322 as the property of William Inge.[14][44]
Kemsing Mill[edit]
This mill was on the tributary that drove the mill at Ightham. Kemsing is reputed to be the site of a Roman watermill at Springhead, which was excavated in 1949.[45][46]
Greatness Stream[edit]
Greatness Mill, Sevenoaks[edit]
An old mill site, in 1381 a mill at Gretnarsche was in the possession of John Colepeper. The mills were later in the ownership of the Fane/Vane family, being known as "Gretness-mylls" in the 1550s, being two water corn mills. John Thorpe (miller?) was living at Greatness Mill at the time of his death in 1835. The building is of weatherboard on a steel frame on a brick base, replacing an earlier mill that burnt down[14][47][48][49] after the First World War. The overshot waterwheel was 20 feet (6.10 m) by 4 feet 6 inches (1.37 m). It drove two pairs of French Burr millstones and one pair of Peak millstones. Roller milling plant had been fitted by 1906. In 1927, the mill was still worked by water power, aided by a 15 horsepower (11 kW) gas engine.[11]
Greatness Silk Mill, Sevenoaks[edit]
This mill was built in 1761 by Peter Nouaille, who came into the possession of the manorial watermill on marrying Elizabeth de la Mare of Greatness. It stood downstream of the corn mill. Nouaille went bankrupt in 1778 but recovered, employing 100 people when he retired in 1800. The mill had a breastshot waterwheel. It closed down after Nouaille's death[13][14][16] c. 1828. The mills were immortalised in the poem Ode on the Silk Mills at Greatness by Joseph Harrison.[11]
Childs Bridge Mill, Kemsing[edit]
A long lost mill site, thought to have been a corn mill. The mill pond was some 400 yards (370 m) by 50 yards (46 m) in extent.[11]
Longlodge Mill, Otford[edit]
Possibly the site of one of Otford's eight Domesday mills. The mill was abandoned at an early date as it was not remembered in field names.[11]
Stream at Bradbourne[edit]
Bradbourne Mill, Sevenoaks[edit]
This was a corn mill. On 24 October 1545 Bradbourne Mill was granted by Henry VIII to William Darkenolde for 21 years at £6.13s.4d per annum. The King finding the timber for the repair of the mill. In 1557, Ralph Bosville bought the mill. In 1592, Henry Bosville died, leaving his manor of Bradbourne, and a "water grist mill" in the tenure of Richard Phillipes and a "Sythe Mill" in the occupation of Chapman amongst his property.[13][50][51][52][53]
Cranpit Stream[edit]
Hall's Engineering Works, Dartford[edit]
Millwright John Hall built a cast iron waterwheel to replace a windmill that powered some of the machinery at his workshops in Hythe Street, Dartford.[11]
There were a number of fords on the River Darent.
There was a ford by the bridge in the village.
Eynsford is famous for its ford by the old packhorse bridge.[54]
There was a ford at Farningham, now replaced by a bridge.[20][55]
There was a ford in Dartford in Roman times, Dartford being a contraction of Darent-ford. The ford was still in existence in 1840.[28]

Dow Chemical Co.'s (DOW) second-quarter profit surged as the chemical maker got a boost from an arbitration award, while sales were roughly flat.
The largest U.S. chemical producer by revenue has been working to pay down its debt as it struggles with a lackluster chemicals market, particularly in Europe. Dow said earlier this year it plans to raise $1.5 billion over a span of 18 months by shedding non-core businesses, and has cut jobs and shut plants in an effort to trim expenses.
Dow's debt-repayment goals were helped in May by a payment of $2.2 billion for damages--one of the largest ever from a corporate arbitration--from Petrochemical Industries Company of Kuwait, after the state-owned firm backed out of a joint venture deal.
Chief Executive Andrew N. Liveris said Thursday that the company is placed to deliver profit growth in the second half of the year, and will continue investing to expand in markets including agriculture, water, and electronics.
In the latest period, Dow reported a profit of $2.43 billion, up from $734 million a year ago. On a per-share basis, which factors in preferred dividends, Dow's profit rose to $1.87 from 55 cents.
Excluding the arbitration award and other one-time items, earnings were up at 64 cents from 55 cents.
Net sales edged up 0.4% to $14.58 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting per-share earnings of 63 cents a share on revenue of $14.48 billion.
Gross margin widened to 17% from 15.9%.
Capital expenditures were down 13% to $506 million.
Performance materials division sales edged up 1%. Agricultural sciences sales were up 10%, while sales in feedstock and energy fell around 4%.
Volume in Europe, the Middle East and Africa was down 2%, while volume in North America climbed 1%. Prices fell in all regions except North America.
Shares closed Wednesday at $34.37 and were inactive in pre-market trading. The stock is up 6.3% since the start of the year.

Alternately praised and dismissed for his decade-long run as an ironic, '80s-loving R&B lothario, Minnesota native and current NYC resident Sean Tillmann has wisely reinvented the sound of his Har Mar Superstar alter ego on his fifth album, Bye Bye 17. Apparently tired of playing the role of oversexed, skivvies-baring Prince acolyte, Tillmann adopts a classy Motown-friendly sound on lead single "Lady, You Shot Me," not too far removed from the likes of Mayer Hawthorne. No longer saving his "serious" songs for his unjustly overlooked rock band Sean Na Na, Bye Bye 17 is the sound of Tillmann laying it all on the line with newfound sincerity. With Purple, Lizzo. 18+.

Amazing product! Better than toasted corn and healthier too!
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2624084 on Nov 26, 2011
Purchased at iHerb
For the last few months, I've been craving "corn nuts" but I can't find the name brand kind in my city. The only kind I could find was loaded with trans fats. I wasn't willing to eat these trans-fats so I was left with my craving...until I ran across Glad Corn. I couldn't find Glad Corn near my area or even in Canada, so I was very, very happy to hear iherb carried it! I hope iherb continues to carrying the Glad Corn products because they really are a delicious fairly guilt-free salty snack.

Tonight at 8/11p ET, Bill O'Reilly sits down with rapper Lupe Fiasco who in previous interviews has questioned U.S. policies and accused the president of terrorism saying, "To me, the biggest terrorist is Obama."
In this exclusive sneak peek, Fiasco defends his comments as "an expression of me trying to, I guess, understand critically the society." In the heated exchange, O'Reilly asserts that "President Obama is not a terrorist. He's trying to do what he believes is the right thing to do."
Watch this sneak peek and tune in to The O'Reilly Factor, tonight at 8/ 11p ET for the full interview.
Game speaks about "Skate On," his collaboration with Lupe Fiasco from his "R.E.D. Album," and reacts to Lupe's controversial remarks about President Obama. http://www.rap-up.com
Hip-hop star weighs in on U.S. involvement in Afghanistan and President Obama.
FreddyO got the opportunity to kick it with Lupe Fiasco. Be sure to V103 EVERYDAY...
Part 2 of 3: Lupe Fiasco speaks out about the uncertain future of CRS (Child Rebel Soldier), upcoming U.S. tour, his current relationship with Atlantic Records, and status of "Food & Liquor II." http://www.rap-up.com
The greatest art is the purest art. Six years, three albums: the lyrical dissertation Food & Liquor (2006), its thematic successor The Cool (2009) and controversy-drenched LASERS (2011). Now, Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album.
Much more than a mere sequel; instead, equal halves American history documentary and honor roll rap skill exhibition. Your average Hip-Hop album features a tall guest list and short stack of truth. F&L2 offers a welcomed imbalance of features to facts.
"What I've learned is not to take anybody's advice. If you rely solely on your fans, it sets you up for the downfall on the industry side and if you rely on what your label is saying, it will disconnect you from your fans."
-Lupe Fiasco

Quotes & Highlights
Read the detailed program notes for this concert.
A towering artistic figure in his homeland, Juan de Marcos González (formerly tres player for Sierra Maestra) is a man on a mission—to display to the world the wealth, diversity, and vitality of Cuban music. His All Stars' 1997 album, A Toda Cuba Le Gusta, was the first to be recorded during the now-legendary Buena Vista Social Club sessions. Today, concerts with the orchestra celebrate the classic montuno sound with a rich mix of all styles of Cuban music, including timba, guajira, and Afro-Cuban jazz.

New chief to be hired this week
Posted: January 19, 2013|
THE next chief constable of Humberside Police could be announced this week.
Police and crime commissioner Matthew Grove is interviewing three candidates for the £139,119-a-year role tomorrow.
He is expected to announce his choice later this week.
Mr Grove said: "We have three excellent and outstanding candidates, so I know we will get a first-class chief constable.
"We will have to see who is the best person on the day."
Two men and one woman are on the shortlist. If the woman was hired, she would become the first female chief officer ever employed by Humberside Police.
All three are currently chief constables or deputy chief constables in other police forces.
Each will give a presentation and face questions from Mr Grove and a panel of four people during the interviews.
Mr Grove said: "The enormity of the responsibility of this one decision is not lost on me.
"This is the most important decision I will make during my three-and-a-half years as commissioner.
"The three candidates are already senior officers so we will have to differentiate between the best of the best. It is quite a challenge and a responsibility.
"I will be very careful in making my choice. I am fortunate to have a good panel of four independent people to assist me.
"I plan to make a decision about who I want to employ on the day and I hope to announce my decision on Wednesday.
"I want to tell the candidates my decision first and give them time to tell their families.
Mr Grove's chosen candidate will have to be approved by the police and crime panel, who can veto his choice.
The confirmation hearing, when the panel will question Mr Grove and the candidate, is expected to take place in mid-February.
The successful candidate will replace the outgoing chief Tim Hollis, who retires in March.
Mr Grove said: "He has been a truly outstanding chief constable. He is a very hard act to follow.
"There are few people who would disagree with that.
"The whole area owes him a considerable debt of gratitude."

One of these things is not like the other. The US Men's Rowing Team took the bronze yesterday, falling behind Great Britain and Australia. However they ended up with all the attention.
As it would seem, one member of the four man team was very happy to receive the bronze medal. The man stealing the spotlight is Henrik Rummel. The tight rowing uniform leaves nothing to the imagination for the 24-year old from Pittsford, NY.
Once again, the Olympics are giving something for the ladies to talk about, and it's not sports-related.

National Transportation Safety Board
Office of Public Affairs
In its continuing investigation of a runway incursion in Allentown, Pennsylvania, involving a general aviation aircraft and a Chicago-bound regional jet airliner, the National Transportation Safety Board has developed the following factual information:
On September 19, 2008, at 7:38 p.m. EDT, a runway incursion resulted in a near-collision on runway 6 at the Lehigh Valley International Airport, Allentown, Pennsylvania. Mesa Air Shuttle flight 7138, a Canadair CRJ-700 (N506MJ) aborted takeoff at about 120 knots (138 mph), skidding around a Cessna R172K (N736GV) that had just landed and was still taxiing on the runway. The crew of the Mesa Air regional jet estimated the distance between the two aircraft as 10 feet when they passed.
The Mesa Air flight carried 56 passengers and a crew of four; the Cessna carried a pilot and two passengers. There was no damage to either aircraft and no reported injuries. The incident occurred in night meteorological conditions.
A timeline of the incident events is as follows:
The Mesa Air crew elected to cancel the flight and have the aircraft inspected. The Cessna taxied to general aviation parking and concluded the flight.
Safety Board investigators have interviewed the pilots involved in the incident, and the air traffic controllers on duty at the time of the incident as well as the FAA tower managers.
The tire marks created by the Mesa Air regional jet as it veered around the Cessna can be seen on the left side of the centerline in the image below.

Not at all what I was expecting from the trailer, this is essentially a character study of Denzel Washington's airline pilot Whip Whitaker and his struggle with alcoholism, after he safely lands a plane following a mid-air failure of components, while drunk and under the influence of drugs.
That entire sequence - of the plane more-or-less falling apart mid-flight, and his crash-landing of it - is really the best part of the entire movie: the rest, I found, to be pretty slow, yak-happy and just plain uninteresting.
Sorry, but just not for me.
|Stephen S
October 18, 2014
Quality film. I figured that this would be overrated after all the hype it received, but this ended up being pretty entertaining. I like the fact that no matter how dark the story was, the film was able to shine a light and end on a positive note. The only thing that sucks about this movie is John Goodman, who's absolutely obnoxious.
|Nader B

Denzel does a great job portraying a drunk pilot with a corrupt mind.
|Oskar B
October 11, 2014
Even though Washington is pretty good as the main character, it is the character itself that makes this movie enjoyable. Whip Whitaker is an alcoholic airplane pilot and after his plane collapses in mid-air, he manages to crash land plane saving almost everyone on the plane. The only problem is that he was drunk while flying, and as the film goes on he keeps drinking and that leads him into one situation after another. It is an interesting character study and the viewer gets to make a choice, rooting for him or wanting him to go to prison. Either way it is a brilliant character from the moral perspective. Altough that the films love story felt very forced and i didnt like the woman and some times the dialouge sounded a bit cheesy.

Denzel Washington: The Movie
|Raji K
October 4, 2014
Despite all the odds Captain Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washington) is able to land a plane safely despite severe equipment fail. In all reruns of the simulation all passengers are killed, making the landing all the more impressive, but there is a problem, and that was that he had few drinks prior and on the flight. This becomes the primary focus on the investigation, while Whitaker insists that had nothing to do with it and the simulations prove it. The Flight itself although is a primary plot point, this film is much more about addictions and how we will deny them and use excuses to cover up or deviate any aspect of the truth. The Flight itself being a microcosm of this denial and problem that many Americans have. Flight was a surprisingly good film and Washington and Zemeckis teamed up well.
September 30, 2014
"Flight" is a movie about a doomed flight of a commercial airliner of ~100 passenger which took off on a stormy day with a mechanical fault. Worst of all, it was piloted by an inexperienced assistant with a captain who didn't sleep much the night before the flight, drunk with blood alcohol twice the legal limit and drugged with coccaine. The dive and emergency landing killed only very few; simulation attempted by multiple other captains, well-rested, not drunk and not drugged, all failed to save anyone onboard by the way.
The question is: should this alcoholic captain be a hero who performed a miraculous landing, or be in jail for being drunk and high on coccaine at work? This is a simple moral dilemma. The pilot broke the rule, he got caught because of the terrible accident, and he should be jailed accordingly as anyone who broke the same rule. But then, if I am ever in such a doomed flight, I want him, howevere sleepy/drunk/high on drug, to pilot the plane.
The captain also had a moral dilemma, to confess that he is an alcoholic and be sentenced for breaking the law, or to lie when knowing lying will clear him of any charges. He didn't lie. And it complicated things. Why couldn't he tell of one final lie about his alcoholism and trouble with drugs?
The film could be done better, but the story and the impact of the underlying moral lessions could not have been better. Danzel, as Danzel, was excellent but the tension and torment was , as complex as they were, too subtle. His character is arrogant, shameless ("I chose to drink") and remorseless. He knew he is a hero for saving lives but at the same time he clearly knew his alcoholism is a problem. We saw him clear the old house of alcohol. We saw he filled the house again with alcohol. We knew he refrained from alcohol only to be drunk again at the federal hearing. He struggled. But I struggled to sense that until he decided to come clean at the hearing when pressed about his opinion that perhaps the flight attendant, someone he could see as his "second wife", was drunk. It took just one question to break him. Why?
I wouldn't have thought twice to lie that one final time. But I didn't take that moral flight. The story didn't help me take that moral flight. I wished to have got more from this movie.
|Omar L
September 21, 2014
The trouble with understanding alcoholism as a disease is that those of us who do not suffer from the ailment are required to believe that it is a disease that makes one compelled to consume a narcotic, the way a one is compelled to scratch at a skin disease. I'm not saying that alcoholism isn't a disease, but its concept as a disease is one that can be difficult to swallow. As a result, how much sympathy and patience are we expected to extend to one who suffers from this ailment, especially one who is responsible for hundreds of lives at a time? Would we allow someone who had epilepsy to be a surgeon? And would we allow alcoholics (recovering or not) to operate heavy machinery?
That question is not really answered in this movie, which chooses to show alcoholism as the identifying characteristic of Denzel Washington's character, Whip. His addiction may have had nothing to do with the crash that occurs, but it's still a time bomb that needs to be defused. The problem is that this is nothing we really haven't seen before in other stories. While Washington's performance is top notch, the story itself is lackluster, banking on Washington's likability to get us through the necessary beats that an addiction story must take us through. It makes for an enjoyable enough movie, but not one that anyone is required to see.
|Bo L
September 18, 2014
Strong Denzel Washington film, in similar style to Cast Aaway, incredible action sequence involving a plane and CGI leading into a dramatic one man performance (Denzel gets a bit more actors to act against) about utter despair and fighting with all they got (survival or demon in the bottle).
It is a solid film, that will make you think about what we sometimes put people through due to bureaucracy and other emotional need for pointing fingers, while make you feel for Denzels characters, despite his loathfulness.
Zemeckis best film since Cast Away.
September 17, 2014
I thought this may have been a bit of a bomb, so put off watching it, but it turned up on DVD at �3, so I thought I'd give it a go... I totally enjoyed it, and will watch it again, Sterling performances from everyone, its just over 2hrs, but this goes by very quickly....

I am not sure Denzel has given a bad proformance in his life and this one is great. However the story is straight forward and predictable.

An original way to talk about substance abuse. Denzel is at his usual level.
|Lucas Augusto C
September 2, 2014
An electrifying thriller directed by Robert Zemeckis formidably in his cinematic triumph, starring Denzel Washington and Melissa Leo, "Flight" is captivating, mysterious and true.
|David M
September 2, 2014
OK we get it, alcoholism ruins lives & apparently causes plane crashes. But with all jokes aside it's a pretty good watch & the crash scene was bloody intense!
|Luke M
June 27, 2014
Denzel Washington's captivating performance does much to elevate Flight above its poorly paced, Oscar-baiting script.

The Ohio Monarchs Gold summer college baseball team will get to defend their championship at next month's LineDrive Sportz NABF College World Series presented by BCSN in Toledo.
"We're always talking about going back and winning it again," said Cory Hornyak, a 2006 Genoa graduate who pitches and plays outfield for the Monarchs. "That would be a big thing for us to do. No one's ever done it, so we're hoping to be the first."
This year's NABF World Series will be held Aug. 6-9 at Ned Skeldon Stadium, Owens Community College, Bowman Park and the University of Toledo's Scott Park.
Last year the Monarchs Gold team overcame a loss in round-robin play to finish 5-1 in the tournament. They beat the Long Island (N.Y.) Astros - behind a game-winning hit from Clay grad Casey Winckowski - to claim the title at Skeldon Stadium.
"We lost to a good team in the round-robin, but we battled that whole weekend," Hornyak recalled.
Hornyak, a 6-2, 225-pound right-hander, hit .458 during the NABF World Series. He scored seven runs with six stolen bases, two RBI, a double and a triple in six games. His diving catch in the outfield in the title game prevented at least one run from scoring, cementing his selection as NABF World Series MVP.
"I thought Casey, getting that game-winning hit, they might have given it to him," Hornyak said. "He had a great Series, too. I was surprised I did win it. It was pretty cool."
Hornyak has played at Youngstown State for the past three years, although his 2009 season was cut in half because of tendonitis in his throwing shoulder. He had just two plate appearances all season and he pitched three games in relief, covering 2 1/3 innings.
"I was injured for half the season," Hornyak said. "I got tendonitis in my shoulder and I had to rest. They sat me down for a month and a half, with no throwing at all. Right now I'm getting back into my throwing program for the summer.
"I didn't hit at Youngstown and I'm just getting back into it. I'm on a pretty good streak. I have arthritis in my left knee, so I get some problems if I play games consistently. I get a little pain. Other than that, I just try to play through it. I just try to rest it as much as I can when I'm not playing."
Hornyak, the 2006 Suburban Lakes League Player of the Year during his senior year at Genoa, said he is in the process of transferring to Division II Tiffin University.
"Youngstown State got a new coach and things just didn't really work out for me," he said. "Tiffin is closer to home and they were really interested in me, even though I've already played three years at Youngstown. I love the program and the facilities, and the coaches are great. I think I'm going to fit in there pretty nice, and I have a couple buddies who play there."
Hornyak, 21, has started two games for the Monarchs this summer and given up six hits in 10 innings. He has seven walks and 12 strikeouts and has not allowed a run. The Monarchs have won both of his starts.
"He's able to throw three or four different pitches for strikes," second-year Monarchs coach Ed Mouch said. "He's got a fastball-slider and he throws a split-finger. He has the capability of throwing all of his pitches for strikes. He looks pretty imposing on the mound."
Hornyak has contributed at the plate and on the basepaths for the Monarchs, who were 24-10 and 8-1 in the Toledo Amateur Baseball Federation as of July 20. Hornyak is hitting .368 (28-for-76) with 20 runs, 22 RBI, 10 doubles, 10 walks, three triples and three home runs.
"He struggled early on because of the total number of at-bats he got at Youngstown," Mouch said. "Since the third week of June he's been hitting extremely well. He has the capability of hitting the ball on the ground for an infield single, and he can hit the ball over the fence.
"He runs real well. He's contributing some havoc even on the basepaths in regards to his legs. He can do a lot of different things offensively. He's 13-for-13 in stolen bases, so he's an offensive weapon in that regard."
Hornyak's Monarchs Gold team opens the College World Series Aug. 6 with a 12:30 p.m. game against the Louisville Orangemen (Derby City Baseball, Ky.) at Owens Community College. At 4 p.m., the Monarchs Gold play the Michigan Bulls (Livonia Collegiate League, Mich.) at Owens. At 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 7, the Gold will play the Saratoga, New York regional winner at Ned Skeldon Stadium to complete pool play.

Spotlight on the Library
The building that was once known as the loudest has now become one of the quietest on campus. The library was first known as the Snoqualmie Falls Co. Transfer House, but now it holds an array of books, newspapers, references, electronic journals, course reserves, and a media collection that includes CDs, DVDs, and many other valuable resources for students.
The library is open every day besides holidays. It's hours of operation are Monday - Thursday from 7:30 a.m. - 10 p.m., Friday from 7:30 a.m. - 5 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. The library has an abundance of useful information to offer students at literally no extra cost.
There are subject librarians that can assist students on a broad variety of subjects. Students can schedule one-on-one meetings with a subject librarian to ask them questions about how to find references for assignments and how to better develop strategies to find useful information for classes that are major-specific. The subject-specific librarians can be contacted via e-mail or phone. Their contact information can be found at the library website under "Contact Us." The subject librarians also provide some class guides for current and previous classes to help with providing references for the class assignments.
The library actually has their own website, so students who are interested in accessing and using the website can find it on the main UWT website on the top taskbar. Those students who have trouble navigating the website on their own can always find assistance at the library reference desk. Librarians can even be contacted through an online chat, which can be found under the "Contact Us" link.
Another great thing about the library is the variety of books that students have access to on and off campus. The library has books that were generously donated, as well as books that students can receive from UW's other campuses, the summit libraries, the WorldCat catalog, and the interlibrary loan system. Some of these terms may be unfamiliar to some students, but it reallyhelps when a book can't be found on campus.
So how does this all work? Well, UWT students all have a library account that can be easily found on the library website which says: "Your Library Account." This allows students to look through the school's entire collection of books, plus access WorldCat, which is the largest global library catalog. WorldCat makes it possible to get books shipped, within a few days to a few weeks, straight to the UWT library. If a student can't find a book here on campus, they can usually find it through their online account.
There are also online articles, electronic journals, peer-reviewed essays, newspapers, documents, and other online texts. All that you need to do is look under "Resources" on the library website and click the link. It conveniently categorizes subjects to specifically search for a certain topic. One important thing is to remember to make sure the lock symbol on the top right corner says "on-campus" and not "off campus." All students have to do is log on to their "MyUW" account. They also allow students to checkout DVDs, CDs, headphones, and laptops.
The library has study areas, computers, printers, and a refill station to put money on your Husky card. The library also has study rooms which must be reserved online. A quarterly event also occurs at the library: Exam Cram. They extend the library hours for students, it happens towards the end of the quarter. The Exam Cram is hosted by ASUWT, and gives students an opportunity to receive help through the TLC and other resources at the library, and they offer energy drinks for a little pick-me-up. This quarter's exam cram is going to be held on March 6-7 from 10 p.m. - Midnight both days. There is more to the library than just books. Students should take advantage of the library and all of the resources that they offer to help students succeed at UWT.
