Zac Efron Suits Up For The Lucky One's Sydney Premiere After a Shirtless Easter Weekend
Zac Efron was the man of the moment at the world premiere of The Lucky One, which was held at Westfield Bondi Junction in Sydney last night. He met with hundreds of female admirers who had lined the red carpet hours before his arrival. The handsome star takes a romantic turn as the lead in the film, which is an adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel. On the red carpet he was joined by Australian director Scott Hicks, who is excited to bring the movie to his hometown, Adelaide, later this week. All eyes were on Zac over the weekend as well, when he went shirtless on his balcony at the Park Hyatt. Some of his famous neighbours at the hotel are Rihanna, Taylor Kitsch and Brooklyn Decker, who are in town for the premiere of Battleship at Luna Park tonight.

Family History specialist Audrey Collins discusses how researchers can get the most out of the London Gazette, Britain's oldest continually-published newspaper.

Thank you very much for coming to 'The London Gazette – not just the brave and the bankrupt' … for those of you who don't know me, my job is Family History specialist, so that will give you an idea of the slant today's talk will take. But it's not just useful for family historians; there are lots of wonderful things in the London Gazette that are very useful for local historians.
But as a family historian, which I'm sure many of you are, when you are learning about this or that in family history, you will often find a reference to 'Oh you can find that in the London Gazette', and eventually I did actually look at the London Gazette and I found that there was a lot more in it than just the things that you are routinely sent to look at which is the bankrupts and the gallantry awards; those are the most popular ones.
In fact if you look at our National Archives website, or our list of research guides out in the search room, we have about 300 in-depth research guides, 24 of them recommend that you look at the London Gazette for something or other. Half of those are to do with military matters or gallantry awards of some kind, and quite a few of the others refer to bankruptcy, winding up of businesses and that sort of thing, but as I said, there is a lot more than that.
Now what I want to do in this talk is just to give you first of all a little bit of history of the London Gazette, just a bit of background of it; a little bit about how to search it online which is the way that most of us now use it; some of the limitations of searching online but how you can get round some of those as well; and then finally the sort of thing that you might find in there, and …I hope you will be as surprised as I was when I really started having a good rummage and browsing in it.
I came across a lovely quote; when the Gazette was first set up, and it was the Oxford Gazette, Samuel Pepys said: 'This day the first of the Oxford Gazettes came out, which is very pretty, full of news and no folly in it.' That was a rather nice quote. In those days there really was nothing that we would think of as a newspaper but it was during the 17th century and the Civil War in particular when people really wanted news, and you got the beginnings of broadsheets and the first things that you might recognisably call a newspaper or something that developed into a newspaper.
Now given the circumstances of that century, which was a fairly turbulent one in English history, once the monarchy was restored there was very tight control over the press generally. The London Gazette, (which started out for its first few issues as the Oxford Gazette because the Royal Court had very prudently moved itself to Oxford to get away from the plague that was rattling through London at the time) the first Gazette, was produced 'by authority', and this meant it was officially sanctioned and the really important bits of news, things that people really ought to know about as far as the monarchy were concerned, would be published in an authorised form and would be circulated throughout the country so that people would know what was going on.
In those early years you get, quite different to the London Gazette now in many ways, you get lots of international news which might have been fed back by ambassadors overseas, but you also get, right at the bottom end of it, people would insert adverts for runaway servants, and really the sort of small ads, those sort of things. There was a massive contrast; you got really big momentous pieces of news and what is now 'great moments in history' and you also got the smaller and the more mundane.
The London Gazette, as it became in 1666, had pretty much had the field to itself for quite a while. Then you got into the 18th century and there were the beginnings of recognisable newspapers that were not government issue. So there was a certain amount of competition, but people still needed to get the Gazette, essentially if their job required it because it had official information that was in it, but the 18th century maybe was not the most glorious for the London Gazette.
But when you get into the 19th century, there is a lot more officialdom about, so there is a lot more official information that needs to be circulated from an authoritative source and although particularly by the middle of the 19th century you get massive competition from what are real newspapers now, when they stopped taxing adverts and stopped taxing newspapers in the middle of the century, you get this tremendous explosion of local and national newspapers, so there was a tremendous amount of competition with other newspapers which were things that people might want to read as opposed to the London Gazette which was something that you might need to read.
I found a wonderful commentary on this in Punch in 1851 which was just round about the time when there was this great press explosion and in the rather condescending way that Punch often had it says: 'What's the use of the Gazette? Somebody has lately asked the question whether there is any particular use in continuing that celebrated periodical called the London Gazette, which it is admitted on all hands that nobody ever looks into.'
'As a newspaper it may be worth preserving as a curiosity in these days, for a journal without leading articles, without reviews, without dramatic notices, without accidents or offences, without police reports and indeed without everything in the shape of information or instruction, is to the newspaper press what Hamlet, with the part of Hamlet left out, is to the drama.'
'The editor of the London Gazette must be a very remarkable individual, and indeed we know of no journal, except our old friend Lloyd's List, that can at all be put in competition with it! The literary staffs of Lloyd's List do occasionally get an opportunity of showing what they can do with the pen, for they are suffered now and then to grow eloquent upon the state of the wind! But the core of the London Gazette can never be permitted to make a remark on any subject whatsoever.'
'If the publication is to be continued, we think something ought to be done to render it amusing, and we would suggest therefore that the bankrupts should be done in blank verse; that a man should be permitted to declare his insolvency in a song, or that a lively duet, with original music, should be the medium of announcing a dissolution of partnership. Unless something is done to give vitality to the London Gazette, it must eventually die away. For a journal with nobody to write it and nobody to read it is an anomaly in literature which cannot long exist in the present advanced state of society.'
Well, that was in 1851 and the London Gazette is still being published. Punch, on the other hand … you know the rest. But I thought that was quite a revealing quote.
[Shows slide]
I'm going to go right up to date now and go to the online version of the London Gazette, and this is just a screen shot of the home page … [You can find this at www.gazettes-online.co.uk], which also incorporates the Belfast and Edinburgh Gazettes. And at first glance you can see this is a current publication, this is all to do with what's going on now, but as a researcher, the bit that you want … and you will see references to quite familiar things like the Queen's Birthday Honours List, that sort of thing, which does appear in the Gazette of course … but this bit here where it says 'Historians', that's where you want to go to search the contents of the London Gazette right back to 1665.
Before I go into that, the other thing I would draw your attention to…[is a link] that says 'About the Gazette'. If you follow that it goes to quite a lot of useful information about the history of the Gazette and there is a document that you can download, and I'd recommend that you have a look at that because that gives you a very good overview of how the Gazette came about and there are some links to some quite interesting notices that have appeared in it.
So, you have identified yourself as a historian and you're going to the search page. When you're there, there is a lot of very useful help and this is not what you get on a lot of websites as I'm sure you will know; sometimes the help is really quite cursory but this I think is very good, and there are quite a lot of frequently asked questions here, and you can use those to help you make more constructive use of your searches.
[Shows web page]
Now this is the advanced search page, this is where you'll get to. There is a basic search, which is literally just a key word search and that's okay, they're quite fun sometimes, but bearing in mind that you are searching about 350 years of a publication, it may be not the ideal way of searching for anything.
[Indicates web page]
This takes you to the advanced search, by the way, though there is another alternative which is called the search builder and that really does the same sort of thing, but it does it a screen at a time. They will both get you to the same place in the end; I happen to prefer this one, but there really isn't a lot in it.
[Indicates web page]
Now, you will see that at the top, you've got 'Select a historic event', and this will is helpful because a lot of people will be using the popular parts of the Gazette, in particular the First World War for Gallantry medals, that's probably one of the most heavily resources used by people here, and there are various other things that you might want to select, but if you want to put in your own date range because you're not searching for things specifically to do with the Battle of Waterloo or something, you've got this facility here [indicates web page] if you just want to search a single date, if you've already got a citation and you know exactly which dates Gazette you want, you can just fill in that in there.
If you want to make a range of dates to limit your search, you put the first and the last in those two boxes. Unfortunately, and it's only a tiny little gripe, when you are doing a span of years to search, you do have to put a month and a day as well, you can't just go '1900 to 1920′ but that's a very small quibble because it does very well in almost every other way.
And then at the bottom, you've got your search terms, and this is where you can put in the words that you want to search for, say, a combination of words in any order, so if you've got somebody's name for example, their first name and their last name, you can put them in there, and that will find anywhere that those two words appear, so if the person's got a middle name, it will still find them. You'll probably get a lot of other rubbish as well.
There's an 'all word' search. There is also an 'exact phrase' search which can be useful, or there is a 'with at least one of the words', and that gives you quite a lot of control over the searches. But the other one which might be useful is the 'page number'. Now you're very unlikely to intuitively know what a page number is, but you may have a citation from somewhere, or you may have looked at one of the printed indexes, so you can go straight to it without bothering at all with any keyword searches. And then when you've done that you hit search.
[Shows slide]
Before I go onto the results of a search that I did, I'm just going to show you the drop-down for that historic events, so you'll see the really popular things there: World War One, World War Two and the Boer War, but you can also go to the edition that tells you about the Great Fire of London, or the Crown jewels stolen by Colonel Blood, so there's quite a nice variety there, just to give you an idea of what there is that you've got as a pre-set search.
What I'm going to show you next illustrates some of the limitations of doing a search in the London Gazette, or in any on-line newspaper archive. Really the only way that you can hope to index a newspaper, or something of this sheer bulk, is by OCR: Optical Character Recognition; you get a machine to read it. And if something is printed, the machine will be able to read it reasonably well. It won't be perfect. It does a remarkably good job, I think, and it even copes with some of the early ones where you've got the old fashioned S's that look like F's.
[Shows slide]
But it is a bit on the hit and miss side, and to illustrate this, I did a search, just a single keyword search, for what I thought would be a fairly modern word, to see what the earliest instance of it was. And that word was 'internet' … I've got the results in date order, and the earliest instance of the word 'internet' is 7 September 1813. Well that can't be right, can it? …
[Shows example on screen of how Optical Character Recognition has misread words in the Gazette]
One of the things I like about the London Gazette which you don't get in very many other newspaper searches is that it shows you at least a little bit of the uncorrected OCR version. And you will see that one there; it says 'Action, or internet on the above, nth, nth, nth'. I think that might be mentioned, but, you see what I mean, and then, the one below; that's actually not too bad, that's got quite a lot of real words in it, but it does illustrate that you will get most things, but you won't get everything, and just to see what this 7 September issue was, you will see that that's the offending bit; it actually says 'interest', but it's a bit smudged.
So that's what the OCR has done with it, and that's the explanation and I think that's a very good way of just reminding yourself that it's good, but it's not a 100%, and you can go on and do the same thing with another one, in this case DVD, another fairly modern word, and that goes back to 1739 and you can see how variable the results are there. I particularly like the third one down: 'the farmer desealed'.
But you get the idea. So bear that in mind when you are searching, and this would apply if you're searching the Times online or any other online newspaper index, that, it is fallible, it's not going to be 100% and that is the explanation for not finding things that you know are there because you've seen the hard copy. And once you know that, there are ways of dealing with it and getting round it and one of these is a combination of the old and the new, and that is to use printed indexes.
We have some of those; we have them here for the War years, because these are the ones that are really heavily used and I have very often heard my colleagues saying: 'Oh, never use the online version, you can't find anything in it'. Well, in some cases you can't, but if what you are looking for is … a Gallantry award for example, you can look it up in one of the printed indexes; you get the date of the Gazette, or at least the year of it, and the page number, and that will take you straight to it, so a combination of the two.
[Shows slide]
The online one does not completely replace the old one, but using the best features of both, you can get a lot more out of it. This one is just the first page. I picked this one pretty much at random from the shelves, and this is just the 'A' page for the printed index for 1915 and I thought that's quite a nice thing to put up there, because it gives you an idea of some of the range of subjects that are covered. There's a 'Foreign Animals Order'. [There is] a lot there about foot and mouth. 'Parasitic Mange Order of 1911′ – I bet you didn't know that existed. And so on, so there are a whole lot of different subjects there.
[Shows slide]
This is the bit that you're most likely to look at if you're looking for gallantry awards, and they come under the heading of State Intelligence in this period, and there you see you've got all those names there, it's all 1915 and you've got the page numbers, so if you wanted to look for one of those, you might well find it easier to use the printed index if you've got access to it which you do if you're here, and then just put in the page number, and that will take you directly to it.
We do have the London Gazette here on microfilm as well as the online version which you can access anywhere, it's free to use, and I would recommend that you use the online one, if at all possible, even if you have to use an index first, because you get a much crisper, clearer print from the online one than from the microfilms, 'cos they have seen some use. So that's just a combination. Much as I love technology and new things, sometimes the old way is still a good way of doing things.
[Shows slide]
And this, something I mentioned earlier; one of the important events in history, there's the report on the Great Fire of London, so one of their first scoops, if you like: the Great Fire of London in 1666.
[Boom sound effect plays]
And I promise you that is the only time I've used gimmicks and things, I have never ever used a sound effect on a PowerPoint before and I probably won't again, but there you go: the Great Fire of London.
[Shows slide]
And then this is another example of what you would call 'big history', big news: this is trouble in the colonies, 1774: 'whereas dangerous commotions and insurrections have been fomented and raised in the town of Boston, in the province of Massachusetts, Bay and New England, by diverse ill affected persons to the subversion of His Majesty's government and to the utter destruction of the public peace and good order of the said town' etc, and then it goes on to mention the dread word 'tea', and we all know what happened after that. So, you can follow bits of 'big history', if you like, in the London Gazette, and I rather enjoy doing that. And the other sort of 'great events', well, I wouldn't necessarily think they're very great, but you get Royal news.
[Shows slide]
This is from 1776, and you've got news celebrating the birthday of the Great Duchess in St Petersburg, and the London Gazette is sending compliments to the Empress, and so on, and then mourning below that: the orders for the court going into mourning for Her late Serene Highness, Ernestine Frederica Sophia, Hereditary Princess of Saxe-Coburg, and then the detailed instructions of what the ladies were to wear, in a lot of detail, and then what the men were going to wear. It's not really what you'd call a fashion page but it was advice on what you should wear.
[Shows slide]
But an awful lot that you will look at in the Gazette is to do with military matters. And this is some notices from 1798, and these are not things that are full of names, which is why I've pointed them out here, because these are matters of background, but what was going on? I mean this is the Navy Office, inviting people to tender for a particular Land and Water Carriage of about 350 loads of timber. Well if you're a historian of the navy itself as opposed to the people who served in it, this is quite interesting to know how they went about their business.
The one immediately below there is a military one; this is the Pay Office from Horse Guards, so 1798, and the Right Honourable Paymaster General of His Majesty's Forces is summoning officers on half pay to come and collect their money. And that's something I've often thought about, because you don't have bank transfers in the 18th Century; [for] people who were getting money for whatever reason, were getting wages or a pension or half pay, there had to be a means of their actually getting it. And that's, again, it's a little window on history, what people did, what people had to do to go about their business.
But what you're much more likely to look at are records to do with individuals in the military, and although this is reasonably well covered elsewhere, I'm just going to show you an example.
You get details of military commissions. We think of the gallantry awards as the really big, popular resource, but of course, you get people [with] military commissions as people get promoted, and the amount of information in there does vary, but you will sometimes get notes of not only somebody's promotion but who they are replacing, in the earlier ones particularly, before the army was reformed, and you bought and sold commissions.
[Shows slide]
And this one (I'm just using this as a sort of case study here) and this is in the Royal Artillery, the militia: 'William Eagleson Gordon, Gentleman, to be a Lieutenant', and this is in 1886, and then a couple of years later, this is 1888, and there he is again, 'Lieutenant William Eagleson Gordon, from the 3rd Brigade, Scottish Division Royal Artillery, to be Second Lieutenant', and if you really wanted to you could chase this man's career all the way through, although I haven't found every single promotion by just doing a search on his name, because the OCR won't always pick it up perfectly, but combined with other sources you can find out quite a lot. And there he is in 1907 being promoted to Lieutenant Colonel.
[Shows slide]
And he's quite a nice case study because he also won the VC. And there he is winning the VC in 1900, going out alone to the nearest gun under heavy fire and summoning the men to follow him, and they're probably thinking 'this lunatic's going to get us all killed'. But, you know, he was extremely brave and although it was a gun and not a person he was rescuing at least it was a gun that couldn't then be turned on you, so good for him, he won the VC.
And you'd think, having done that for his country that the London Gazette, with its pride in accuracy, would get it right, but unfortunately they spelt his name wrong and he's there as William Engleson Gordon. However, they did correct it when informed, so if you were searching for his VC, you would find it by searching with his full name, but you won't go directly to the original page; you will go to the correction which appeared some time later, but that gives you the date of the Gazette, so you would find it.
So that's quite a nice example there, and this is something where you might think 'Well, I know it's there, I've seen it, the OCR didn't get me there.' Well, the OCR in this case, actually was spot on, but [as for] the original, it was a rare example of the London Gazette not getting it quite right, but it did correct it later so they get points for that.
[Shows slide]
…Colonel William Eagleson Gordon VC [as he ended]: when he died in 1941, a notice appeared in the London Gazette just informing anybody who had a claim under his will to contact the solicitors, and this is the sort of notice you will find a very great deal of, and that gives you a certain amount of information about him. If you're actually trying to find out about him, there's quite a lot about him in print and online, but if you were looking for somebody who wasn't a Colonel and hadn't won the VC you'd still be able to find this sort of notice. This one relates to a will, but you do also get a number where someone has died intestate, and the solicitors are advertising to try and find the heirs at law, although [among] the ones I've looked at, [there are] an awful lot of wills, but you do get a fair number of intestates.
[Shows slide]
Something I discovered which was most intriguing was a lot of lists of intestates from the colonies, and this is just one example: this is from the Supreme Court of New South Wales and there are pages and pages and pages of these for various colonies at different times, but you get lots of intriguing extra information. I mean this one here: 'John Higgins: killed by accident on the 29 July 1847: supposed real name Higginbottom.' Now that's a little piece of information you might not otherwise find.
And there are various other ones here. Another one, William Elliot, was drowned in the wreck of the Sovereign on 11 March 1847, and just directly above him, the unfortunate William Thompson, whose estate was only just over £5, it just says 'funds exhausted'. They probably spent all of that on advertising.
[Shows slide]
But this is a marvellous source, and these shots that I put there are just of examples … If you want to go and look at these at your leisure and browse a few pages before and after, you will find that there is a lot more there. There are pages and pages and pages of these things, and you can do a few keyword searches to find them in other editions as well. And this is a tremendously good source; you think of all those family historians who've got somebody who went off to Australia and nobody knew what happened to them, well, they might fetch up in one of these, possibly with their right name, or possibly not. So that's a great source which I suspect is very underused.
Just going back to something which is a fairly commonplace one: honours and awards; I've spoken about gallantry awards in the military and there are also civilian gallantry awards. But actual knighthoods, the things that you now see in the Queen's Birthday honours, The Dissolution honours, New Year, all that sort of thing; this is just one example of many, many that are there.
[Shows slide]
This is me just choosing somebody that I quite like, because I'm very interested in the history of retail, and that in 1929 is Sir Jessie Boot, as in Boots the Chemist, becoming Baron Trent of Nottingham, and you could actually trace quite a lot about Sir Jessie Boot in the London Gazette. There's a very, very long, detailed account of a Royal visit to Nottingham, and a loyal address, and then the Queen and King paid tribute to Sir Jessie Boot for his services to education because he pretty much bankrolled Birmingham University and there are lots of lovely long detailed accounts, but I've just picked out one as an example.
[Shows slide]
Well, Sir Jessie Boot was very famous and very wealthy and very important, but right down at a much, much lower level of society, there is a lot of information, with names, about people like me, really; fairly low grade civil servants, and this is a report of the competitive examinations in 1874. The Civil Service Commission was formed in 1871 and you've got a proper structure of competitive examinations, and this page here, I think it's rather nice; again, picking up on one of my special interests, because, well, it's my talk, my rules, I get to pick the examples, and I'm very interested in the general register office and how it worked and how it developed. This is the announcement of the competitive examinations for an index compiler and statistical abstracter, and an Index compiler did exactly what you think he did; he was one of the men, and they were all men at this point, responsible for making the indexes which used to be in books and we now look at online, but these are, if you like, what you may consider to be the guilty men.
But the exam that they had to do; they had to be between 18 and 21, and they were examined in handwriting, orthography, arithmetic including vulgar and decimal fractions (anybody remember those?), English composition, and if they failed in any of the above named subjects they would not be eligible and so on. And then sometime later, these are the successful candidates: Harry John Rait, George Henry Jeffers, Charles Albert Baker and Henry Harridence. Now I'm such a sad act I actually recognise these names, because as I said, I have done a lot of work on the General Register Office and found lots of lists.
But we quite often get asked here in The National Archives if we've got records of civil servants, and actually we don't on the whole. But the London Gazette, at least from this period onwards, is a very, very good source for finding appointments and promotions. Now this particular example was 'competitive examinations'. But you also get all the ordinary run of the mill appointments and promotions, and they go right down to a fairly low level; there are appointments of boy messengers, and you don't really get an awful lot lower than that, and this also includes the Post Office which you don't think of as part of the civil service, but they went through the same competitive exams.
So if you had somebody who you know or think was a fairly lowly civil servant, or worked for the Post Office, you might well find them in the London Gazette, you'll find their appointment and if they were any good, maybe some promotions as well.
[Shows slide]
So going on to something completely different, I found this rather nice set of records. This is from 1855, the Paris Exhibition, and this was just one part of one page of a lot of people and companies whose designs or goods had been accepted to be exhibited at the Palace exhibition later that year. And this one you can see, some of these are companies, where it is 'Something and co.', plainly you've got a company, but some of them are individuals: Samuel Leek Worth, of 293 Oxford Street, submitted a knife cleaning machine. So they're not necessarily huge, great big companies, although some of them are.
And you know, [this is] James Weir and company, felt manufacturers and there's quite a lot there and, again, it's nice to look for names. If you've got somebody who was an inventor in the family, you might well find them here, and although I haven't got any examples of it, you may also find somebody is registering their patent as well, to a particular design or an industrial process. But some of the people in here, they're just ordinary people who in their line of business – they have designed a better mousetrap. Actually, I've never thought of doing a search … as I just said that, [I realised that] I hadn't thought of doing a keyword search of 'mousetrap' but maybe I will now.
[Shows slide]
So you do find ordinary people running smallish businesses, well I'm sure some of them were hobby inventors, so that's a whole resource there and there are pages and pages of this. You see this is just exhibitors of machinery, but there were lots and lots of other classes.
[Shows slide]
[This is a] different thing altogether and this will on the whole not have names in it, but Public Health; this particular one is from 1831, which is informing people of the various rules and regulations that came into force to stop the spread of cholera. I mean unfortunately in 1831 nobody really knew exactly how you should stop the spread of cholera. They sometimes did the right things but for the wrong reasons; they thought it was bad air.
But this is quite an instructive thing and I've only got an extract from it here but there is quite a lot of this sort of thing that describes in very great detail what the regulations were and what people were required to do, so this is a great one for the social historians, or even a local historian or a family historian and it's quite a good way of finding when there were particular epidemics, which you may be interested in because you've suddenly found an awful lot of people in your family suddenly dying in great numbers or people in a particular place – a sudden upsurge in the number of deaths or burials. So this is something that [suggests] there might have been a cholera epidemic.
[Shows slide]
And then going on a bit further: 1875, here are some rules for how they should be running fever and smallpox asylums. I bet they were a lovely place to be in. And then, and this is only a short extract, really what I could fit onto a page, but there is lots and lots more of this. And in this particular case, this is specifically for the London area, this is Metropolitan Asylum district, so you do get quite a lot of detail about exactly how everyone was to be [dealt with], you know, all the paperwork which had to be filled in which of course was terribly important. Well it was, because if it wasn't for the paperwork we wouldn't have so many records to look at now, although the paupers being admitted at the time might not have seen it that way. Again, this all adds local colour and a bit of detail.
Now I have already mentioned that I'm terribly interested in General Register Office so you're going to get a bit more of it now. But this is a very useful resource – something that was always required to be listed in the Gazette was when buildings were licensed for the performance of marriages. After 1837, when civil registration started, the vast majority of marriages were still in the Church of England, and that went without saying, so you won't find Church of England churches here on the whole, but for the first time, marriages could be performed legally in non-conformist places of worship.
A registrar had to be present, at least up until 1898. A registrar had to be present to make it official, but the other thing was that the building had to be registered; you couldn't just go and marry in your living room or in the case of the Salvation Army – they did actually enquire once if a tent could be licensed for the performance of marriages in the course of one of their missions and the Registrar General said no. But on the whole, in the case of non-conformist churches, they would be licensed and then a notice would appear in the Gazette.
[Shows slide]
This is quite useful if you're trying to find out where places of marriage were, or when they were extant for the performance of marriages, and I've picked just one here, but if you trace them through sometimes, you will find a particular church or chapel, and then some years later it's disused either because they've built a new building and they've moved to that, or because the congregation has dwindled away. But this is a very useful way of finding where people could get married, other than the Church of England.
And related to this, you will also get notices of boundary changes in registration districts, and these can be quite tricky because up until the 1920s, registrars were not salaried. They were paid on piece work, basically; the number of events that they registered, the amount of certificates they issued and various other jobs. So if you changed the boundaries of somebody's district, that could have a direct impact on their income. So up until the 1920s you tend to get odd little piecemeal changes in boundaries at odd intervals, and this is because if somebody died or retired and the boundaries needed rejigging, that was an opportunity to do it, so you don't get a nice sweeping Boundary Commission type review all in one go. You get all these little odd ones, and this can be quite useful if you're wondering why somebody suddenly appears and they don't seem to move but they're in a different district, it might be because the boundary has changed, and If you're doing a local history then this could be very relevant indeed, because it might be very important to know exactly where the boundaries were at a particular time.
Now, the one that I showed last, the place of marriage, was in Week Street in Maidstone and I did a little bit of a micro-history really, a very, very local history, just that one street which even now is a main shopping street in Maidstone, and I was trying to find all sorts of information about it and seeing what I could find online, and I discovered something which I previously did not know about in, again, the wonderful old London Gazette, and this is 'Sales by Auction' and there are a number of these following the resolution of Chancery cases, and this says: 'To be peremptorily re-sold …' and it mentions the Chancery case Beadle versus Russell and five others, and then it gives the dates of them, and then it describes the properties.
And for a local historian, this is wonderful, because we've got: 'A dwelling house and garden in the high street, late in the occupation of Dr Robert Smith', and so on, 'also a dwelling house and shop adjoining, in the occupation of Mr Richard Scoons, tenant at will. Also 12 several brick built cottages in the Fair- Meadow, a dwelling house, grocer shop and warehouse in Week Street, in the occupation of Messrs Pigram and Son, tenants at will, also a roomy warehouse in Earl Street, Maidstone, in the occupation of the said Messrs Pigram and Son and their under tenants at will. Also a dwelling house and premises adjoining in the occupation of Thomas Jury, tenant at will.'
Well that tells you a tremendous amount, not just about the people and the place, but the nature of their occupation; if they were tenants or under tenants. So if you are studying a street or a very small area or even a particular building (you'd be awfully lucky if you did find a particular building that you were looking at) but this gives you an enormous amount of detail that I really can't see you would find in many other sources.
[Shows slide]
And on the basis of something like this, you could then follow this up, which I haven't done, but, because we know the name of the Chancery case, I just did a search for Beadle versus Russell in our National Archives catalogue, and there you have got three results, and the bottom one there…the first two is fairly obvious – Beadle and Russell, seven answers and then 'answer only' in that wonderful way that you have with Chancery cases – you've got little bits of record dotted around, but there is a file which is just Beadle versus Russell; it doesn't give a date. If you look at that in a bit more detail, you find that this is from Chancery Master's account books, and they're not catalogued in an enormous amount of detail but frankly if you found Beadle and Russell and that's the case you're interested in, that document would be worth looking at.
So there is an awful lot that you can take and then follow up in other sources. You could do that with a lot of the other things, but I thought I'd just pick out one example to show you as something that you can do, because that refers so directly to something that I knew we would have here, so that's a way of not just using the information that's in the London Gazette, but taking it to develop your research in other sources.
[Shows slide]
Also on the theme of local history, a very useful thing that appears is the notices of new streets. Now you won't be able to read that, but I've just enlarged that so you can see, this is just a section of it. St Luke's, Chelsea in 1855, there are all these streets which, they already exist, they all have houses in them, but they are now formally being adopted as public highways, and it lists all the streets: Caversham Street, Christchurch Terrace, Elizabeth Street, Halsey Street, Milner Street (east end), and then in some detail it lists all the streets or which bits of them, so this is tremendously useful for the local historian, and as well as just listing the streets when they become adopted, and streets particularly in London and big cities have a terrible habit of changing their names and sometimes, this might be one of the sources you could use to try and unravel this. You will also get, rather later than 1855, wonderful things like this: when the trams came to a particular place.
[Shows slide]
This example here is from 1884, and it's for Burton-on-Trent, and the actual entry goes on and on for pages and pages, but just a small bit of it is about the construction of tramways 'in the townships of Burton-on-Trent, Burton Extra, and Horninglow in the Borough of Burton-on-Trent in the county of Stafford, and in the townships of Winshill and Stapenhill in the said borough, in the county of Derby. Provisions as to use of steam or other mechanical or other power repeal an amendment of acts and for other purposes.'
And then it goes on as I've said at very great length, but if you're interested in a place this is a great way of finding out exactly when the tramways were laid or something similar – very, very useful for a lot of things to so with transport, public works of all kinds really.
[Shows slide]
Now, I got a bit tired of looking at print all the time and I think you've pretty much got the idea of what print looks like, so to come close to the end, I thought a nice coloured picture would make a nice change, and one of my favourite sources in the London Gazette is Royal Warrant holders, and this picture is the rather lovely Arms on one of my favourite shops, Jenner's Department Store in Edinburgh. It is by quite a long way one of the nicest buildings on Princes Street, and that's the Royal Arms and there is a plaque underneath it saying that they are By Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen, suppliers of, I think it's soft furnishings.
Well, if you look at Royal Warrants, from 1900 onwards, Royal Warrants were always listed in the London Gazette. The one that this one comes from; they were awarded this in 1911, and I looked at the London Gazette entry for that…and that's a particularly good year. When I looked at the page that Jenner's appears on, and there are lots and lots and lots of other businesses, pages and pages and pages and pages of them, you've got 'By Appointment to' (the fairly new monarch) 'George V', you've also got a list of the 'By Royal Appointment to His Late Majesty Edward VII' and there is even a list of 'Her Even Later Majesty Queen Victoria', so there's a tremendously long list.
Now By Royal Appointment; you associate it with wonderful great things like this, like department stores like Jenners, and Harrods, and companies, but there are lots and lots of fairly modest people in there as well. If you look at the list you will find that people who basically had a sweet shop near Windsor Castle, or on the Isle of Wight, might well be there. It's not just great big businesses.
So if you had an ancestor who ran a business somewhere in the vicinity of Osborne House or Balmoral or even abroad; you get quite a few cigar shops in Dusseldorf, all sorts of things all over the place, you may well find that there is something in there – your ancestor may have been By Royal Appointment to supply something to the Royal Household; it's not just for Their Majesties' personal use, it could be something that their household bought. So there are all sorts of things, [for example] purveyors of flowerpots, all kinds of things, and again if you are doing local history it would be well worth doing a place search or at least finding one of these and skimming through it.
I've already mentioned the deficiencies of doing keyword searches; you will find a lot but you won't necessarily find everything, and sometimes, what I think is a good to do is to do a search, almost a random search, not for anything in particular, or do a date search and just go into an issue and browse through it.
Now, the introduction and what Punch said, and even what the London Gazette's own history would say of it: it's not something that people on the whole read for pleasure. Except I think it is now. When you go back and look at the very early ones, it's a window on the past. Although at the time these were official notices, to us they're quite fascinating, and they can shed light on the world of 1851 or 1751 and I do like going in and browsing.
Issues of the Gazette vary, from, particularly the early ones, from just two sides, and some of them go up to hundreds of pages. There is enormous variation. It's very unwise to generalise about the contents of something that's been in publication since 1665, because of course it's changed quite a bit over time. But it's something that is well worth getting to know, and every time I go into it and have a look at something and find something at random I discover something new, and I hope that that's what you'll do as well. You'll go and explore it and you will find something interesting, and then tell all your friends about it because it is just such a wonderful resource, and although it's used heavily, understandably, for the gallantry awards and looking for bankruptcies and the other sort of 'top ten' hits and things that we recommend that you look at in the research guides, there is such a lot more in there that it's a great fun thing at look at, and it's free, so what more could you want ?
Now this year is the actually the anniversary of 1910, when the London Gazette actually became an HMSO publication, and I have to be honest, I didn't realise that when I started writing the talk but I found it in the course of it, but I thought 'that's rather nice, isn't it?' so somebody up there must have wanted me to do this.
[Shows slide]
And finally, and this is of absolutely no educational value whatsoever, but I discovered that I actually had this, in a collection of random documents, and this is Harrison and Son, who were the printers, whose contract ran out in 1910, and this is just an invoice and a receipt for a solicitor placing an advert in the London Gazette. Now that is what I call serendipity. Thank you very much.

Burglars strike Central Avenue businesses again
Date: July 30, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
Burglars have once again struck Central Avenue.
"We've been here six years, and this is the worst year yet," said Kelly Kary, owner of Sarasota Olive Oil Co.
Her business was burglarized July 11. It was the fourth time since October that it's been hit.
"My first thought was, 'not again,'" Kary said.
In the most recent incident, someone used a rock to smash the glass door, and then they took the entire cash register, which contained $250.
"It's aggravating, because I have to think, 'What do I have to do get my businesses up and running?" Kary said.
Previous incidents resulted in the theft of a food-delivery cooler, three large planters with trees inside them and more cash.
Six days after the July 11 burglary, Derek's Culinary Casual restaurant, which is two doors down from Sarasota Olive Oil Co., was burglarized in a similar manner: Someone broke the glass door with a brick, but owner Derek Barnes said nothing was stolen.
Sarasota police believe the same person may be responsible.
"They happened a few days apart from each other. They're located near each other, and they both involve a rock or brick," said Capt. Paul Sutton. "We have to believe they're related."
Even with those two recent crimes, though, Sutton said burglaries are down significantly in the Central Avenue area (see box, front page).
Kary said she feels an increased police presence would help reduce crime even further.
"I'm an advocate for more police," she said. "When you have an economy like we have, you're going to see more of this."

My boyfriend and I just finished having this for dinner -- wonderful!! I had to tweak the original recipe, and what follows is the end result. I'm sure the crust could actually be used on all kinds of fish -- Chilean sea bass is pretty expensive (ours was almost $30/lb), but you could likely substitute any kind of white fish with good results.

The 2014 Tractor Ride, sponsored by WHO Radio, wrapped up earlier this week for its 18th year.
Over 400 tractors took part, and most of them were beautifully preserved relics from Iowa's farming past.
"Most of them you'll see without cabs, so they're going to be from early '50s up into the '60s, and they're every make and model," said Darryl Landsverk, who has been on the Tractor Ride for 14 years.
Landsverk also said there have been tractors from England and France.
Even a few homemade tractors join the ride.

The first of two public meetings will be held today (Sept. 10, 2014) to gather public comment on the proposed establishment of a regulated statewide dispensary system for medical marijuana.
An informational briefing will be held this afternoon to discuss pending house legislation on the proposed legalization of medical marijuana dispensaries in Hawaiʻi.
A bill introduced at the state Legislature is aimed at developing a plan for the cultivation and export of marijuana in Hawaiʻi for sale in foreign jurisdictions where usage is legal.
House Speaker Joseph Souki of Maui called on his fellow lawmakers to look at creating a system of dispensaries where those in need can legally buy marijuana for medical purposes when prescribed by a doctor.
Approved today were measures to move program oversight away from the Department of Public Safety to the Department of Health, and to adjust the type and amount of medical marijuana a patient can legally possess.
The bill seeks to remove penalties for private adult marijuana possession, and establish a system in which the cultivation and sale of marijuana would be regulated and taxed in a manner similar to alcohol.
Voters in Hawai'i are open to the legalization, taxation and regulation of marijuana according to the results of an opinion poll commissioned by the Drug Policy Action Group.
With states now decriminalizing and even legalizing marijuana, where does Hawaii stand? Attitudes toward marijuana and marijuana laws is the subject of a statewide poll, the results of which will be discussed during a presentation tomorrow in Honolulu.
The event is one of two activities that were planned in apparent opposition to the 40th anniversary of the government's "War on Drugs".
The measure would create a five year pilot program for the dispensary in an unspecified county.

November 27, 2014
HOUSTON (AP) - Attorneys for a Mexican national facing execution next month in Texas are asking the state parole board to recommend halting his punishment because the inmate convicted of killing a Houston police officer didn't receive help from the Mexican government under international treaties.
Forty-six-year-old Edgar Tamayo is set for lethal injection Jan. 22 for the January 1994 fatal shooting of 24-year-old officer Guy Gaddis. Gaddis had arrested Tamayo for a robbery moments earlier.
Tamayo's attorneys Wednesday told the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles that state officials haven't followed through on promises to review consular rights claims for offenders like Tamayo.
They also contend assistance from the Mexican consulate would have helped his trial attorneys obtain mitigating evidence from Mexico to convince jurors to decide on a punishment other than death.

In the beginning, Massachusetts opened the gates to same-sex marriage and universal health coverage. California started to liberalize drug laws by legalizing medical marijuana. The sky didn't fall on any of these efforts, initially regarded as dangerous social experiments by many conservatives.
If you type "Shawn Boburg" into your Web browser address bar, a strange thing happens. Boburg is a reporter for The Record newspaper, in Bergen County, N.J. But ShawnBoburg.com sends visitors to The Record's rival, Newark's Star-Ledger.
Of the scandal threatening New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, the aspect that struck me most forcibly had nothing to do with the governor's prospects in 2016. I suppose I reacted as a foreigner and a former civil servant: Putting aside the details of who knew what and when, how could an instruction to create a four-day traffic jam for no reason but partisan spite ever come to be issued, let alone carried out? That it was tells you something about politics and public administration in the United States.
Just when you think they can't possibly top themselves the Republicans do. I know I keep repeating myself but I just can't help but be amazed at each new day's "news." This time it is the rape audit that caught my attention. I note again that I give them credit for creativity; but a rape audit! You have to admit that one is hard to beat.
I haven't paid much attention to François Hollande, the president of France, since it became clear that he wasn't going to break with Europe's destructive, austerity-minded policy orthodoxy. But now he has done something truly scandalous.
Can you be a tough liberal who also knows how to work with the other side? Can you be unwavering in trying to lift the wages of the low-paid, bring health coverage to the uninsured, equalize educational opportunities and protect the environment -- and still compromise enough to get all these things done?
These words could be about the late Edward M. Kennedy. But they also describe Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., who announced his retirement this week. If the House has a Ted Kennedy, he's it.
There's a simple way to tell whether the Republican Party's newfound commitment to fighting poverty is more than rhetoric: Follow the money.

Damnably Radio #76 by Damnably Records on Mixcloud
The 76th installment of the long running (7 years) Podcast Radio show from Damnably Records of Stratford, East London.
George hosts this episode and as it's been decade since John Peel died, we mark the void with a longer than usual show. Filled with mostly new music, Some we'd like to think John would have played and sang along to in his old car.
Check out the latest Podcast from Damnably featuring Former Utopia's 'smile' live at Dingwalls and loads of great new music.
We played Shonen Knife's 985th gig/end of tour party and it was also smallgang's album launch for 'san'. Toshi joined us on extra guitar for an epic solo ridden 'Blue Fugue'.
Jen from SBL joined smallgang and Atsuko played with Shonen Knife for the encore and it was a great night. Everybody's loves Atsuko, she should still be rocking in bands!
Such a hipster venue though, the SK regular fans stood round the corner hiding from the trendy kids but despite the artifice and venue poster/social media fail it was almost sold out and sound was ace. We'll miss Naoko, Atsuko, Ritsuko, Emi and all the DOGE comedy we had this tour.
Pictures from Matt & Janice
Damnably promoted 6 of the Shonen Knife gigs around the UK on this years 'Overdrive' tour and 3 of them Sold Out and the others did really well. We helped do the door, played some along with smallgang and we hung out with Gareth in Bristol and Cardiff, Ally in Glasgow, Sab in Brighton and met some lovely people along the way. We had so much fun, sold some CD's and some people liked what we did. Shonen Knife really rocked out and the crowds went totally nuts each night. The highlights were the band learning DOGE and Atsuko singing 'Heatwave' and drumming and singing 'I Am A Cat'. Weirdest thing was a video interview in Leicester.
We will play in Leicester on Magic Teapot's stage for Handmade Festival, which is a multi-venue
affair with some great acts on including our friends Shonen Knife and Echolocation.
Smallgang & Shonen Knife have new albums out so are touring a lot of the UK & we will join them in Leicester, Coventry, Bristol, Cardiff, Brighton and London.

The Washington Little Caps U16 National team travelled to Rochester for their third NJPHL Showcase weekend, and as they rolled into town, they most definitely had a target on their back – as they were the only undefeated team in the league. The league commish set the weekend's round robin to match up the Caps against the second place (at the time) team twice, as well as the Michigan Warriors who held on to the second seat in the Western Conference all within 24 hours. Your Little Caps did not disappoint, as they went 4-0 on the weekend, and maintained their seat atop the league. Here are the game recaps:
WLC U16N 4 vs. Michigan Warriors 0
The Little Caps had previously beaten the Michigan Warriors 4-1 in Detroit. In that game back in September, the Warriors scored in the first period, but the Little Caps responded with four straight unanswered goals for the victory. Two months later, the Little Caps continued to shut down the Warriors offense for yet another convincing win. The early morning game started slow, though the Little Caps were awake and shooting. In the second period, Matthew Jahn finally broke through with the first goal. Cade Groton had a snipe to make it 2-0 in favor of the Little Caps. His line mate, Trent DeNuccio would add another one for an explosive second period. In the NJPHL showcases, they cut the ice halfway through the second period, and the boys headed to the locker room with a 3-0 lead. The rink staff was unaware of the ice cut planning, and it took some time for the game to resume. Would the down time change the game plan or work in the Warriors favor for them to mount a comeback? No, the Little Caps finished where they had left off in the first half of the game. They continued to shut down the Warriors, and DeNuccio added a power play goal in the third period off a David Leitzel feed. Goalie Kyle Henderson had 26 saves and the win in net.
WLC U16N 3 vs. Cincinnati Swords 2
In the first meeting of the two teams, the Little Caps had to work hard and dig in to come out the win. The Swords had lost that morning to the Pittsburgh Predators (who the Little Caps beat 2-0 in Buffalo) and had therefore slipped out of second place. Nevertheless, they were one of the few teams that the Little Caps had not yet seen in round robin play. The game started strong for the Caps, with Theo Lenz shooting it from the blue line and Jack Good tipping it in for the first score. However, shortly thereafter, the Swords responded as they had an odd man rush and buried a rebound to tie the game in the first period. The Little Caps looked tired from their early morning wake up, first game, and SUNY Brockport college tour. They went into the halftime ice cut with a 1-1 tie. The Little Caps came back in the second half of the second period to face another penalty kill. This time, the Swords converted and took their first lead of the game. The third period started with the Little Caps on their heels, down a goal and with over a minute left to kill on yet another Cincinnati power play. After killing the penalty, the Caps needed some energy and found it when Peyton Nash tied up the game with a great shot. The game was tied, but the Little Caps were called for yet another penalty. Not only did they kill it off, but Nash made a sweet pass to Jack Good, who finished for what would be the eventual game winning goal. Good had two goals and an assist against the Swords. Cincinnati pulled their goalie to try and tie it up at the end, but the Little Caps held on for their 10th win in the NJPHL. Ethan Roth made 18 saves in the winning effort.
WLC U16N 6 vs Utah Grizzlies 1
The Little Caps had not yet seen the Grizzlies in NJPHL play, but were focused on maintaining their lead in the standings. In another early morning game (8am!), the Little Caps had two successive early power play chances, and converted on the second one. Cade Groton had yet another great shot to give the Little Caps the early 1-0 lead. Yet, it would not hold as the Grizzlies skated right back with their own snipe to tie the game. The Grizzlies goal was enough to wake up the Little Caps potent offense. Drew Lorinchak scored off a feed from Peyton Nash and Matthew Jahn to grab the lead back in the first period. The Little Caps faced two more penalty kills before halftime and the ice cut. Whatever Coach Plocki said to the boys, or they said to each other, worked, as they came back out for the second half and controlled the game. Groton started off the scoring party with his second goal. Jack Good then tallied to make it 4-1 at the end of two periods. After killing off yet another Grizzlies power play, Groton assisted on a goal by defenseman Geoff Kostrzebski. Richie Kaye tallied from a nice pass by Sage Bittinger-Esser for the sixth and final goal. Ethan Roth had the win in net for the Little Caps.
WLC U16N 4 vs. Cincinnati Swords 0
The Little Caps were intent on keeping their NJPHL undefeated record, and it showed on Saturday afternoon as they played one of their most complete games of the season. While they had beaten Cincinnati in a hard fought game on Friday, the Caps hit the ice with a purpose and stormed out to dominate the Swords in every way on the ice. Jack Good had a snipe in the first period for his fourth goal of the weekend and the early Little Caps lead. The Little Caps controlled the first period as they held the Swords to just three shots, including on a power play. In the second, the Little Caps continued to control the tempo and limit Cincinnati, as they held them to zero shots in the entire period. David Leitzel lit the lamp with assists from Trent DeNuccio and Alec Freyberger shortly before the halftime ice cut. DeNuccio and Groton would both add third period goals for the 4-0 final. They both top the league for total points with 27 and 22, respectively, in 12 games played. Kyle Henderson had 8 saves, and another shutout win to lead the league with a .955 save percentage. It is always a nice drive home from a weekend when you can bring out the broom in the effort. Four wins in Rochester translates to an undefeated 12-0 showing in NJPHL play.
The Little Caps next face the Wilkes Barre Scranton Knights on the road before returning to Kettler after the Thanksgiving break. Come rock the red and support the march to the AYHL playoffs!
The U16 National Little Caps travelled to Philly to face the orange and black Junior Flyers. The game started off well. Matthew Jahn, assisted by Peyton Nash, started the scoring with an even strength goal early in the first period. Trent DeNuccio added a power play strike later in the period, with assists from Nash and Cade Groton. The power play converted again, as DeNuccio scored his second of the game early in the second period, with an assist by David Leitzel. It was 3-0, with the Little Caps ahead. However, the Junior Flyers responded with a quick strike less than a minute after that. The tide had turned and Philadelphia scored again just a few seconds later. When they tied it up a few minutes later and then actually went ahead 4-3, Coach Plocki called a time out, settled his players down to try and get momentum back. Early in the third period, former Little Caps teammate and star Flyers forward Danny Hargadon was injured. The Little Caps not only killed off the subsequent power play, but Sage Bittinger Esser buried a short-handed strike to tie the game 4-4. However, the Little Caps would have to withstand yet another power play awarded to the Junior Flyers late in the third period to send the game into an extra 5 minute overtime period. With a few blocked shots and saves, the Little Caps survived the power play and, in fact, were awarded a power play of their own with just a few seconds remaining in regulation. Yet, the team could not convert even as the penalty time extended into overtime. The Little Caps walked away with one point for the 4-4 tie. Ethan Roth was 18 for 18 in relief.
On Sunday morning, the team was determined to get the two points and that determination showed. The Junior Flyers struck first, midway into the first period. However, the Little Caps tightened up and battened down as that was all they would allow for this game. 1999 defenseman Alec Freyberger buried a shot late in the first period to knot the game up at 1-1. Would we see another nail-biting overtime game? The Little Caps did not want to leave any points on the table, and kept up the pressure. With just 12 seconds left to go in the game, David Leitzel, Cade Groton and Trent DeNuccio combined on the game winning goal much to the delight of the bench and the Little Caps fans and family present. DeNuccio was credited with the goal, to bring his total to 14 in 14 AYHL games played. Kyle Henderson had 24 saves and the TEAM EARNED a big win.
The team and coaching staff want to wish Danny Hargadon a speedy recovery and hope to see him on the ice again soon. Next up Rochester!
Many Little Caps dream of making a career out of hockey. One Little Cap alum who has done so is James Sixsmith.
James recently completed three seasons playing pro hockey for Lørenskog in Norway's premier league, the GET-ligaen, where he quickly became a superstar. In 2011-12, he put up 49 points in 26 games (plus 16 points in the playoffs). The following season, he scored 67 points in 43 games (and 18 points in the playoffs). And last season, he scored 52-points in 39 games.
That performance earned James a contract this season with Sodertalje Sports Klub (SSK) in Sweden's Hockeyallsvenkan league. Many NHL players have played in the league, including Marcus Johansson of the Washington Capitals. "The level of play is very high and it's been a lifelong dream to play hockey and travel the world for a living," James reports.
James played several season with the Little Caps, before going on to play for the Canterbury School and then Division I from 2003-2007 with Holy Cross. He is still the all-time points (152) and assists (104) leader at Holy Cross, and in his senior year received the league's and the USCHO National Sportsmanship Award.
After college, James played for the Cincinnati Cyclones and Utah Grizzlies of the ECHL, and the Bridgeport Sound Tigers and Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL. He then moved to Germany, playing with the Cologne Sharks in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL), and then with HK Jesenice in Austria's "A" league, before moving on to Norway and now Sweden.
James has incredibly fond memories of his time with the Little Caps. "I feel like it was yesterday, even though I'm already 30," he says of his Little Caps career. "My family and I still to this day reminisce about the days in the hotel in various cities; when the parents would hang out at the bar while the kids ran crazy around the hotel. I made lifelong friends playing for the Little Caps and that's something I truly cherish."
His advice to our current players? "If you take anything from me, have fun and enjoy the ride. It's supposed to be fun. Playing for the Little Caps was some of the best times of my life."

I LOOOOOVE this color ! It looks so beautiful,it's highly pigmented so you have to have a light hand but it looks so natural on my skin !
I tried this blush out for the first time and in the pan it looks really nice pinky color but when applied on my skintone, it came out wayyyy to red...almost like a drunken RED look...(really don't want that on my cheeks). I am asian and have a warm light-medium skintone with yellow undertones. I took it back to the MAC counter and traded it for blushbaby and fell in love (with blushbaby instead). The color pigmentation and blendability is great though (as with any MAC blush). I can see how this color will suit others with maybe a darker skintone or a cooler skin tone rather than mine...but this color just did not work for me. =(

This one on me looks like a perfect pink with a just the right dab of peach flush. No glitter, very natural in photos. Comes highly recommended!
Very pigmented, not ashy at all. However, this pulls very red on my NC30 yellow-toned, Asian skin tone. Give it a try if you have a warm skin tone that doesn't have any redness to it.

I wanted a mac blush so a mua at the store matched me with this for my skintone. This blush looks really pretty on my skin. Its like a coral pinky color. I apply this with the mac white angled contour brush, I can't remember its number. It's super pigmented and it stays on all day. It may fade a little but you can definitely still tell you're wearing brush. I can't remember how much I payed for this but I know it was expensive as everything at mac is expensive. Overral, I love this blush and I highly recommend it.
This is a great blush, perfect for faking a completely natural flush to the cheeks. It claims to be a satin finish but I honestly can't tell the difference between satin and matte.
The color itself of this mac blush leans more towards the coral side of pink. In my opinion, it is very natural. With light application, this can definitely pass off as a completely natural flush to the face.
The pigmentation in this blush is amazing. It makes it a little harder to blend, so I would recommend applying this with a light hand if you were to apply it over your foundation, or just on bare skin. I would highly recommend applying this in natural, direct sunlight with a mirror to ensure that it is perfectly blended seamlessly into your skin. Personally though, I normally apply a heavy amount of this onto my skin, and then stipple liquid foundation over the blush, to fake that 'lit from within' glow. I use this blush everyday that I wear makeup.
I like the packaging, but I would appreciate it more if, like all Mac blushes, it were less bulky, and more sleek. I would also appreciate it more if Mac products a little less costly.

I LOVE this blush! The color is perfect! It is a warm pink/peachy tone that goes well when I`m pale or tanned. And it doesen`t break me out and It stayes on all day.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great, natural looking and lasts all day. Don't apply too much!!
This is my first MAC blush and after falling in love with it after having my make up done at the MAC counter, i decided to purchase it. I have tanned skin and the colour suits so well! Makes me look very girly and fresh :) You have to be careful not to use a lot though!
This blush is a little too vibrant for me. I really like it though. Really pigmented and ha as nice colour pay off. It can be blended out to a little bit of a lighter shade but tends to stay vibrant ! I ordered this product for the MAC webiste and the swatch looked a lot paler ! I have really pale skin (nc14) and don't find this blush suits my colour tone at all. I would reccomend it to those with a warm and muted skin tone to add a pop of colour. It's an amazing colour and I will be repurchasing (in a slightly different shade). Packaging is terrible. Always breaks.

The life cycle of a hunter
By Luke Clayton
Howdy, Folks!
This week Cindee asked me to talk about the way my hunting experience has changed with time. When I think about it, as a young man it was all about bagging the tags and having a bigger gun. Through the years, I was challenged by the skill bow hunting required, and moved that direction. Now, I'm experimenting with air rifles, and the different skill set they require. As I think about it, hunting at this time is about the experience.

BIMMERPOST sponsor Alekshop has started an interesting E92 M3 build, building a US spec M3 GTS based on the BMW M3 Lime Rock Edition, which shares the same Fire Orange color with the M3 GTS. Per Alekshop:
The day BMW announced a release of the special model M3 GTS, we knew that this is the car we have to have!
After reading multiple press releases, looking at million pictures, translating technical info from German to English we gathered enough information to come up with a plan … CONTINUED
File this under "What if?" What if you had 130,000 EUR to spend on and were looking for a car? Two cars to consider would be the M3 GTS and the just-unveiled C63 AMG Black Series Coupe. 4.4l vs 6.2l V8, 450hp vs 517hp, 1605kg vs (est) 1710kg. Unlike the M3 GTS, the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe will be available in the US starting Spring 2012.
We've included a photo comparison, a spec comparison and two videos showing both cars' engine sounds below. So … CONTINUED
Fifth Gear's Tiff Needell and Vicki Butler-Henderson pit the E92 M3 GTS against the Porsche GT3 RS on the track. On paper, the GT3 RS should trump, but will the real world driving experience bear the same results? Video inside.
If Auto Motor Und Sport is to believed, the lightweight E90 M3 will also receive the "GTS" moniker, like the E92 M3 GTS coupe. AMS claims the power output will be 440hp, 10 less than the 450hp GTS coupe. This would be consistent with BMW's acknowledgement that the GTS sedan would have more power than the standard M3, but less than the GTS coupe. AMS also says that the M3 GTS sedan will utilize the 7-speed DCT transmission and feature a lightened interior with lightweight … CONTINUED
Top Gear online reviews the BMW M3 GTS in the Austrian Alps on the infamous Grossglockner Pass. They come away calling the engine, gearbox, and chassis combination a religious experience. Final verdict: Ridiculous. Pointless. Perfect.
The Sept. issue of Sport Auto has hit the stands today and contains several tests of the M3 GTS, including laps on the Nurburgring and Hockenheim tracks. The best time they were able to achieve with the M3 GTS was 7:48 on the Nurburgring and 1:12.5 at Hockenheim. See inside for how these times fared to the competition.
We have added over 30 new wallpapers of the M3 GTS to the Official M3 GTS Info Thread. Click on the thumbnails for full hi-res versions of each image.
Autobild has pitted the M3 GTS against the 911 GT3-RS, arguably one of the best handling street cars currently available. According to the test's scoring system, the M3 GTS took second, but by a mere 5 points (out of 300 total). The GT3-RS was stronger in off the line acceleration, but the M3 proved faster for in-gear acceleration. Full results inside.
The first customer M3 GTS was delivered to its owner, Marcus, at the performance days at Nürburgring this weekend. Marcus has already started testing and adjusting the setup to meet his track specs but says the car is great and is destined to become better!
Here is a great new video of the M3 GTS running on the track at Ascari, Spain. Turn up those speakers for some pure aural delight! Also reviews and insight from Rolf Schneibner, product manager of the M3 GTS about whats so special about this hopped up M3.
Enamored with the new BMW M3 GTS? You're in luck as BMW has now released the technical specifications and training manual (German only unfortunately) of the BMW M3 GTS for you to pour over.

Jerusalem - Rhythm of a Distant City
Israel, 1993 (MIFF 1994, Documentary)
Director: Dan Geva
So, this is what Jerusalem looks like from a bread delivery push-cart? Some great steadi-cam work and editing propel us through this ancient city's back streets and market places; from the strange tranquility of the Wailing Wall to the dark narrow back streets. Captured (almost) are the smells, noises and atmosphere of this place where only the clothes people wear has changed.
