Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

These days Denny is trying to decide where he is going to display his new set of action figures sculpted by Spawn creator Todd McFarlane. The Canadian comic book artist, who parlayed his skills into a lucrative toy franchise, is producing Clive Barker's Infernal Parade and Twisted Fairy Tales.
Infernal Parade is based on a gruesome bunch of carnival characters from the man who brought us Lord of Illusions. The other action figures are McFarlane's macabre and sadistic interpretations of children's favorites, such as Peter Pumpkin Eater, who carries a bloodied ax and a pumpkin stuffed with an unfortunate victim's body parts. "I've always loved Clive Barker," Denny says. "I see the Infernal Parade and Twisted Fairy Tales as pieces of art. They are pretty bizarre, but I'm a bizarre person myself."
Denny may end up relocating his vast DVD and VHS collection, which he catalogues by genre and alphabetical order, to his living room so he can accommodate his toys.
Renee finds her husband's latest collection a bit disturbing. "That stuff is a little morbid for me," she admits. "I prefer his anime statues. Those are cool."

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hi all
I've had a look through this forum and it sounds exactly like what I'm, looking for.
My story is that I work for a part of the Salvation Army in Australia and we have an internal LMS with a logo designed by my old boss. He left and we need to update things. I'm not sure I like the logo itself, but I need to update it with new colours and also some extra text.
All I have is the gif (which includes a mortar board on one of the letters), so I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance.
I´m pretty certain it´s Century Gothic but a little expanded.
You should move the post to the main Type ID Board (now it's in the Solved IDs section).
Here are some alternatives: http://www.fontshop.com/fontlist/genres/wide_grotesque/
Thanks Philip
Yep. Century Gothics looks pretty perfect. Sorry to make it too easy.
Oh and thanks too Riccardo. I'll take a look at those fonts as well.
Much appreciated.

Wagner, 38, was sentenced to life in prison plus 20 years in October for the robbery and murder of Stephen Pitcairn last year, as the young man walked home along St. Paul Street. Both he and his co-defendant, Lavelva Merritt, were on probation for other cases at the time of the attack.
"This proceeding reflects our commitment to using absolutely every tool at our disposal to ensure that repeat, violent offender remain in jail and off of our streets," Baltimore State's Attorney Gregg Bernstein said in a statement.
Merritt was sentenced to 15 years in prison last month for her role in the robbery. She is scheduled for a violation of probation hearing on Monday.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] PAKISTAN/US/CT - Pakistan waging serious war against terrorism: Gen Petraeus
Released on 2012-10-19 08:00 GMT
|2010-03-17 21:14:51
Updated at: 2220 PST, Wednesday, March 17, 2010
WASHINGTON: The US continues to push Pakistan to take action against
Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), blamed for the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, as such jihadi
terror outfits are still not on Islamabad's radar, according to a top US
The need to take action against the Pakistan-based terror outfit has been
Washington's 'source of dialogue' with Islamabad, General David Petraeus,
head of the US Central Command, told the powerful Senate Armed Services
Committee Tuesday.
'There's no question but that there are elements in Pakistan that have not
yet been the focus of the Pakistani counter insurgency efforts,' he said
in response to concern expressed by Senator Claire McCaskill over
Pakistan's inability in taking 'substantial action' against the LeT.
'Obviously India has expressed its concerns as well (on LeT),' he said
adding, 'The rise of LeT and the need to take action against it has been a
'source of dialogue' with Pakistani authorities.'
Petraeus said the Obama administration had quite a bit of interaction with
the Pakistani government over LeT's activities after the Mumbai attacks
that killed 166 people, including six Americans.
While Pakistan is 'waging a serious war against terrorism in the tribal
areas of the country bordering Afghanistan, in particular the Taliban and
Al Qaeda', jihadi elements like LeT were not yet on the radar of Pakistan,
he said.
Responding to McCaskill's concern over LeT's growing strength, with
reference to recent terrorist attack on Indians in Kabul, Petraeus said
that Pakistan army was taking stringent action against Al Qaeda and the
Taliban in the Northwest Frontier Province of Pakistan.
Petraeus' observations came close on the heels of US Assistant Secretary
of State for South and Central Asia Robert Blake asking Pakistan to rein
in the LeT, given its increasing capacity to target other countries,
including the US.
'The LeT is a terrorist group based in Pakistan that has increasingly
global ambitions and global scope-and so it's in the interests of Pakistan
to rein in its activities,' Blake said in an interview Saturday.

SAS 4 Ideas
Ok, to start off -we must remember this is still SAS and try not to turn the game into something else. Plus with kreds we help ninja wiki in a way of gaining wealth so it's worth creating( maybe even a new one in a few years, or update SAS 3). Of course ninja wiki didn't want to turn the game into something that "FORCES YOU TO PAY" they actually care about their players and made it easy enough to level up and be just as strong as someone that is on your wave length. As for more SAS4 ideas …. that I do not know. 0 hope this helps, share more ideas!

Holly Hand Gernade ?
Well I've been a fan of sas for quite a while and I can assure you that there was a holy hand grenade. Still ninja wiki didn't add it in as a bonus (overkill ;-;) although it's not in the pc version you must go through and download the app (just as king stated). Hope this helps :D

TDP4 - The Tutorial
TonyantonioS, you can reset your account by going for the the button below your characters frame, or sell your uzi. Just as HM offered as advice. Uzi only does 30 damage per 0.15 shot interval and the reload is a great weakness. The colt is faster at reloading and does 50 damage every .3s shot interval. Some chose to stock up on health with a glock, others buy uzi and only invest in luck! :D But it's your Tony, hope this helps.

I've noticed earlier that many TDP4 players experinced selling or buying an item – and yet recieving this message "Error has occured – Security hacked " or "You were disconnected!

A valiant Sara Tomic has fallen short in her first qualifying match at the Australian Open on Thursday, losing 2-6 5-7 to Austria's Tamira Paszek.
Sara, the younger sister of Bernard Tomic, was outclassed by the Austrian in straight sets, with the match lasting one hour and 30 minutes.
The 15-year-old Tomic looked comfortable on Show Court 3, in what was only her second WTA event, a promising sign for Australian tennis fans in the future.
Whilst she was easily outclassed in the first set, her improvement towards the latter stages of the match was encouraging.
Her opponent, Paszek, set the tone early by breaking Tomic with confident baseline strokes and strong serves.
With both players happy to battle it out at the back of the court, Tomic showed signs of fight when she broke back in the second set, and gained in confidence as the match progressed.
Tomic managed to break Paszek's serve twice in the second set, winning five consecutive games against the Austrian. However, she lacked experience at some key moments and Paszek eventually fought back to claim the match in straight sets.
Paszek, who saw her ranking slip in 2013, was pleased with her performance: "I'm just trying to stick out there, stick to my game plan and improve every shot. It was quite a tough first match but I'm very happy to be moving through".
Despite showing a bit of uncertainty in the second set, she praised Tomic's efforts: "She served unbelievably and I just lost a bit of my focus and she just kept hitting winners".
Tomic's loss marked the eighth Australian to fall short in the qualifying rounds for the main draw of this year's Australian Open. But with plenty of potential on the horizon, Tomic was especially happy with "that second set".
"I've been training hard on my technique and my forehand, after a few games, I started hitting more winners and getting my movements a bit smoother," she said.
Tomic is now looking forward to next week when she begins the junior tournament at the Australian Open: "I'm really excited, I can't wait to play. Hopefully everyone comes out to support me"
Paszek will now move on to the second round where she will face China's Ying-Ying Duan who advanced after knocking out Kazakhstan's Sesil Karatantcheva.

Tyler Moore
Moore, Taylor hope to compete for Nats' bench spots
Dec 19, 2014, 12:04 PM EST
Ten weeks into the offseason, the Nationals have few open spots to fill on their roster, but on their bench remain several opportunities, at least for the moment. There is plenty of time for Mike Rizzo and the Nats to replace the holes left by Nate Schierholtz and Scott Hairston via trade or free agency. If…

While most ballplayers are well into their offseason downtime, enjoying life away from the park for awhile, there are a handful out there still playing ball and trying to get an early jump on 2015. Winter ball is in full swing throughout the Caribbean, and a few members of the Nationals organization are seeing significant…

Offseason storyline No. 5: End of the road for some?
Oct 14, 2014, 6:00 AM EST
As the Nationals transition into offseason mode, so do we (a little sooner than any of us expected).

A primer on postseason roster eligibility

PHILADELPHIA — Matt Williams is loathe to look ahead, certainly as far ahead as October when the calendar still reads August. We here at the Insider, on the other hand, don't worry about such things. Especially with a very important date fast approaching. We're five days away from baseball's August 31 deadline to set postseason…

The promotion of several Nationals' top prospects came early this season due to injuries, as both Michael Taylor and Steven Souza were each brought up this month.

Zim activated, Moore optioned
Jun 3, 2014, 3:07 PM EST
The Nationals activated Ryan Zimmerman from the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday and optioned Tyler Moore to Triple-A Syracuse as the corresponding move.

Moore optioned to Triple-A Syracuse
May 7, 2014, 7:11 PM EST
The Nationals optioned Tyler Moore to Triple-A Syracuse after Wednesday's win over the Dodgers, paving the way for Doug Fister's season debut on Friday.

The Washington Nationals placed backup outfielder Scott Hairston on the 15-day disabled list on Sunday with a left oblique strain.

Moore, Mattheus and Cedeno were optioned to Class AAA Syracuse, where they will open the season. Carroll…

Nats agree to terms with all 17 pre-arbitration players
Feb 26, 2014, 5:20 PM EST
VIERA, Fla. — The Nationals agreed to contract terms with all 17 of their pre-arbitration players on Wednesday, finalizing the entire roster's 2014 salaries with little disagreement. Those players, who all have fewer than three years of big-league service time and thus aren't yet eligible for arbitration, have no official say in their salary figures…
Moore happy, comfortable at first base
Feb 21, 2014, 4:02 PM EST
VIERA, Fla. — Tyler Moore played first base at Mississippi State. He played first base as he ascended through the Nationals' farm system. And then, once he arrived in the big leagues two years ago, the young slugger found himself in a most uncomfortable position: left field. With Adam LaRoche enjoying a Silver Slugger/Gold Glove…

How does Moore fit into Nats' 2014 plan?
Dec 18, 2013, 6:00 AM EST
If the Nationals make another move before the start of spring training, it most likely would be for another bench player. Which most likely would directly impact Tyler Moore. Which raises the following question: How exactly does Moore fit into the Nationals' plans, both in 2014 and beyond? The organization continues to praise the young…

The Old Globe to Present Jeff Buckley Tribute Concert Tonight
The Old Globe presents a one-night-only Jeff Buckley Tribute Concert tonight, Monday, Aug. 19 at 7:00 p.m. that features several prominent San Diego artists covering the songs of the legendary musician. The concert coincides with the Globe's upcoming production of The Last Goodbye, a fusion of Buckley's music with Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The Jeff Buckley Tribute Concert, which benefits the Globe's student Shakespeare programs, will take place in the outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre.
Ticket prices start at $20 and can be purchased online at www.TheOldGlobe.org, by phone at (619) 23-GLOBE or by visiting the Box Office at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.
The bands scheduled to perform at the Jeff Buckley Tribute Concert include Jeff Berkley, Israel Maldonado and Fernando Apodaca with Todd Hannigan, Veronica May, Eve Selis, The Sinclairs, Gayle Skidmore, Superunloader and Pete Thurston. The concert will be emceed by Cathryn Beeks, host of KPRi-FM's "The Homegrown Hour," and Chris Cantore, U-T San Diego's Director of Lifestyle & Entertainment.
"Jeff Buckley's music is as powerful as it is beautiful, and all of us at the Globe are counting the days until we get to hear it on our stage in The Last Goodbye," said Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. "In the meantime, I'm delighted that we'll get to hear some of San Diego's most exciting musicians go to town with Buckley's songs and show America's Finest City once again that its arts community-both onstage and in concert-is part of what makes the place so fine."
Jeff Buckley was born in Orange County, California on November 17, 1966 and died in Memphis on May 29, 1997. He had emerged in New York City's avant-garde club scene in the 1990s as one of the most remarkable musical artists of his generation, acclaimed by audiences, critics and fellow musicians alike. His one and only full-length, full-band studio album, Grace, released in 1994, includes his haunting cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." Buckley and his band spent the following two years touring the world in support of the album, and though he was largely ignored by U.S. audiences, who were fully involved in the grunge movement, his sensitive and soaring vocals, virtuoso guitar and gripping performance style were critically acclaimed throughout Europe, the U.K. and Australia. He was awarded France's prestigious Grand Prix International du Disque de l'Académie Charles Cros in 1995, as well as platinum record plaques from France, the U.K. and Australia. In May of 1997 in Memphis, on the verge of recording his second studio album, Buckley perished in an accidental drowning while taking a late-night swim in the Wolf River Marina. The songs he had been working on were posthumously released as Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk in 1998, which received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. Today, Grace is ranked among the 500 greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, and Buckley's recording of "Hallelujah" was voted number one among the top 100 vocal performances of all time by Mojo magazine (U.K.).
The Last Goodbye is a musical adaptation of Romeo and Juliet featuring the incendiary songs of Jeff Buckley. That light in yonder window is still the east and Juliet is still the sun. . . but the sound in her bedchamber is all new: the sweeping, emotional and extraordinarily beautiful songs of the late rock icon. This unique work of theater is a remarkable fusion of the classic and the modern, melding Shakespeare's tragedy, in its original text and period, with some of the most passionate rock music of the past 20 years, staged with limitless invention by Alex Timbers, one of the true stage visionaries at work today.

Google Engineer Builds Ultimate LAN Party House 175
from the if-you-build-it-they-will-come dept.
Slashdot is powered by your submissions, so send in your scoop
...I can tell you that unless everyone present is already vetted, there will still be problems. People will reconfigure controls, will bring their own peripherals and will unhook yours, will move stuff around that they have no business moving, etc.
There's a reason why arcade game consoles were the order of the day in old-school electronic arcades- there was one cord to plug them in, they were too heavy to move, and the controls were specialized to the game and fixed into place. They were a kiosk for playing games in the same way that an ATM is a kiosk for dealing with money and banks. They worked well because the user couldn't do much to screw them up.
That's not a house, it's an Internet Cafe that does mind having customers sleep over. BFD.
/you have to consider these things if you want to keep going all weekend
That's what your MOM said!
The guy who built this house attended my LAN party last month. He brought his girlfriend. She is real, and plays games. Yes, you can have the best of both.
Hi Slashdot! I updated my Blogger/G+ profile to link back to my Slashdot ID, so you can see this is actually me.
I'm a little disappointed that the submitter linked the Gizmag article instead of the original blog post [blogspot.com] -- I think a lot of Slashdotters would have found that more interesting, for some of the technical details. Although, even that post is pretty light on details. I'm working on writing a more in-depth description of how I manage the machines. In short: Hooray for PXE boot, iSCSI, and LVM snapshots.
You'd also be interested to know that I ran several successful LAN parties with all the gaming machines running Ubuntu Linux and WINE. I'd estimate 70% of games worked well (although often not perfect) with this configuration. Sadly, I have recently given in and installed Windows, though the server machine obviously still runs Linux.
Here are some pictures of the server room, which Slashdot inexplicably won't let me link as HTML: http://goo.gl/BgFpT [goo.gl]
Here is the back-story behind how I ended up with this house. [blogspot.com]
As I said, I'll be writing some more blog posts soon with full gory technical details. I'll try submitting them as a new story when they're ready, but you can also subscribe to the blog or follow me on G+ if you're interested.

After a month at my new job, I finally realized that I wasn't going to buy a gaiwan for work, and my morning cuppa Yorkshire Gold just wasn't going to cut it as my only tea until 5, so I bought a box of this, based on the facts that the Earl Grey Addict liked it, it was cheap, and it would probably be good without milk or sugar (we have creamer at work, but I don't want to buy milk that will just sit in the work fridge). I use microwaved water, which isn't the best choice, but it's what we have (unless I can convince the other content writers to chip in for an electric kettle).
Anyway, this is pretty good. Nothing astounding, but a decent Earl Grey. The citrus smell of the dry bag is very strong, but it's much more balanced in the cup. I probably won't be buying another box when this one runs out, but that's only because of the wonderful experience I had recently with Twinings Darjeeling.

Dear BSF member, As this is my first contribution to News & Views as Membership Secretary, it may be best for me to begin by introducing myself to those of you who do not already know me.
My name is Stephen Hart, and recently I had begun to feel that it was about time I got a bit more involved with the Society I have enjoyed membership of since starting out as a Trainee Flavourist back in 1986. I have fond memories of attending my first BSF lectures (Saville Row, London, as most of them were in those days), and found them extremely helpful, both directly educational and of course invaluable to a "newbie" as a way of helping to build a professional network. As your new Membership Secretary I hope to be able to give something back to this fantastic industry we are a part of, by developing and maintaining a robust and efficient membership database and facilitating communication between Council and Membership, keystones for everything the Society is able to do.
I take this role over from our new President, Danny Kite, whom I would like to thank for the great strides taken in improving the organisation and for bringing the BSF at last into the digital age of electronic communication with its members! I also warmly congratulate him on his new position and look forward to supporting him in membership matters. In previous correspondence Danny has emphasised how important it is that we are updated when any of your contact details change, and I would like to take this opportunity to reinforce that message. The (numerous) box-files I have inherited contain rather too many sealed envelopes of News & Views that have been returned to sender, each one representing a member for whom we have outdated information. I will be doing my very best to resolve lost connections but, once again and this time from me....PLEASE can you ensure that if your details do change you find a moment to let us know (my contact details are on the back page) - a simple email would suffice.
Regarding the membership database, we are planning to publish the members list to go out with the Winter 2014 edition of News & Views. As in previous years, this is a separate document containing the names and postal addresses of all members, grouped according to membership category. Some members may elect not to have their addresses shared in this way (or prefer to use a different address for this purpose), in which case can you please let us know by the end of October.
The society remains very healthy from a membership point of view, although there are still a number from whom we have yet to receive 2014 subscriptions. I plan to address this over the next month or two as I get more into the role, but in the meantime if you are aware of not having remitted your own, we'd be grateful if you could either pop a cheque (made out to "The British Society of Flavourists") in the mail to me, or alternatively use the excellent PayPal/credit card option on our website home page.

Harry Parr and Sam Bompas, Food Scientists at Bompas & Parr learn how flavourings are made at TasteTech.
2014 started with a bang for TasteTech, who were part of the multi-disciplinary team working with the Experience division of Wasserman and food artists Bompas & Parr to realise the world's first multi-sensory firework display, taking place on New Year's Eve as part of the Mayor of London and Vodafone sponsored New Year's Eve fireworks celebrations.
TasteTech, who provided the flavourings for the New Year's Eve 2014 celebration, designed and made an array of vibrant fruit flavourings to be enjoyed whilst people celebrated in style during the New Year's celebration.
At midnight on 31st December 2013, more than 250,000 people in the heart of London eagerly awaited a multisensory experience which saw them immersed in edible clouds of cherry, apple and strawberry mist, whilst peach snow and edible banana confetti fell from the sky and mammoth bubbles bursting with orange flavoured smoke erupted in the air enlivening everyone's senses. Yet, how many people realised that the flavourings providing that experience were made here in the UK!?
TasteTech's flavourist team, who design and inspire many flavourings consumed in the food people eat on a daily basis, watched in anticipation as months of hard work came to fruition.
Danny Kite, senior flavourist at TasteTech worked closely with the innovative food artists at Bompas & Parr to create the mouth-watering flavouring combinations to ensure Vodafone's dream of sponsoring the world's first multisensory firework display would become reality. For this brief, various blends of aromatic natural materials were combined to achieve an aroma that the audience would recognise as a particular fruit.
Sam Bompas, food artist at Bompas & Parr comments "Working closely with the expert flavourists at TasteTech has been crucial to the success of the event. Not only was it important to ensure instant recognition of the scents, the products also had to be developed in line with cultural and health and safety considerations.
The project involved many stages of product development, and the team at TasteTech has supported us every step of the way - their work has created a true world first. No challenge was too big and the result is something totally unprecedented in the world of flavour. We look forward to future collaborations."
Danny comments,
"The flavourings that we create can be found in some of the most recognised food brands around the world, from chewing gum and chewy sweets to baked goods like muffins and cake toppings through to sports nutrition products. However, being involved in such a high profile event was extremely exciting, as this was the first time ever that flavourings had been used in this way."
Chris was one of our own. An invaluable BSF Council Member for almost 14 years, serving with distinction as secretary for 13 of those years. His passing sent a shock wave through the industry and the BSF website was inundated with messages of condolence. Some of these messages are posted below;
This is absolutely devastating - I am sorry to hear of the passing of Chris. I had no idea he was unwell. Chris was one of the nicest people I have known - quiet, unassuming and thoroughly professional in his business life and as Honorary Secretary of the British Society of Flavourists, a position held from 2000 to 2013.'
Roger Levicki.
'I was very sad indeed to hear that Chris has passed. I remember him as a bright spark and an immense source of fun. We worked together for a while many many years ago at A E Bevan (part of Duckworth) in Southport. It was the sixties and I have found a photo of us hard at work in the pub. Chris is framed by the window and I am the scruffy individual in the lower left of the picture.'
John Wright.
'It is very sad news and a shock. I have known Chris from his Cantrell and Cochrane days. Please pass on my condolences.
Roger Dunton.
Very sad news and especially at still a very young age he passed away …hopefully he will be in peace. My sincere condolences to his family and relatives.'
Cornelius Ellie
'That is really shocking news. A lovely man that genuinely will be sadly missed. May he rest in peace.'
Steven Ellis.
So sorry to receive this news. My condolences to family, friends and ex-colleagues.'
Sue Wright.
So sad to hear this news. He was such a nice guy and always giving a lot of energy to the Society and always available for help.'
John Knoop.
These messages are testament to the great esteem and the high regard with which he was held by his many friends and colleagues. His funeral was a very moving occasion for all who attended, held at Bentley Crematorium in Brentwood and conducted by Judith Peacock, a pastor and friend of Chris. Five personal tributes were read out at the funeral by Christopher Thompson, a friend from the age of four, David Darrah, a friend from his university years, David Berryman for whom he worked as a consultant, Phil Spratt who also hired him as a consultant for Britvic and Dave Baines a friend on the BSF Council. Below is a distillate of what was said.
Chris was born in Southport, Lancashire in 1950 and when he was four years old attended Croxton School, a prep school where he met Chris Thompson who remained his friend for 60 years. They built and flew model planes together and later became interested in golf, both becoming junior members of Hesketh Golf Club and together attended the World Golf Open Championship in 1961. In 1964 they both went to watch the Beatles in the Cavern Club. He recalls that Chris was very bright and passed the exam for common entrance to public schools which took him to Ellesmere College a year early at the age of 12. From there he went on to read Natural Sciences at Downing College, Cambridge.
After University, Chris followed his father into the soft drinks trade, working first for the family business, A E Bevan, and then for Duckworth's. During this period he studied for a Diploma in Business Management at Liverpool University. David Darrah recalled his interest in music which included Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa and more latterly Michael Nyman, The Penguin Café Orchestra and Philip Glass. He also relayed some of the fun times of parties fuelled by Bevan's apple concentrate which had somehow been fermented, and a number of practical jokes which portrayed Chris's mischievous sense of humour.
Chris moved south to Muswell Hill and then later to Kingston working for Coca Cola and Schweppes where his creative talent was recognised in the market place with the development of products such as Lilt and J20. He moved on from there to Britvic in Chelmsford and bought a house in Brentwood.
He took official retirement from Britvic over 10 years ago but continued to work as a consultant for Britvic and for other companies such as Noisy Drinks and David Berryman Ltd. Tracey Turner recalled – 'I met Chris 9 years ago and he came to work with me as a consultant 3 days a week. We became good friends and he asked me to join him and be a member on the BFS monthly board meetings. We attended many lectures and gala nights over the years together. Every year we got together a team of 5 from David Berryman Ltd for the BSF Quiz night. We had many giggles at the quiz and he obviously proved to be a very knowledgeable man. We all enjoyed tucking into our annual fish and chips and chicken and chips. I feel a massive loss in the passing of Chris he was truly a lovely man who will be very sadly missed.
Phil Spratt recalled how he first met Chris. He had been working on a drinks project for weeks with some of the world's top flavour houses. Despite this they still hadn't managed to create products of the quality that a company like Britvic was looking for. A colleague introduced him to Chris and at first he recalled how he was sceptical that a quiet almost professor-like character would be able to help. When he told Chris about the challenge he just shrugged and said 'I don't see why not' and within days was coming up with the products they were looking for. Phil described Chris as a quiet, unassuming man who was a creative genius. He was certainly not one to ever boast or seek praise for his achievements and consequently very few people appreciated that he was the creator of many of the drinks enjoyed globally on a daily basis. Phil wanted everyone to know that the team at Britvic knew Chris as an immensely highly valued knowledgeable colleague but also as a cherished genuinely warm individual and a great friend.
Chris loved his work as secretary of the BSF and was heavily involved with the big events that have been so successful over the years such as the Annual Symposium, the many great Gala Nights held in London and more recently the Table Talk Exhibition held in Amsterdam. He was a great support to the seven Presidents that served over the period of his secretariat and provided a steadying hand over difficult times and worked diligently to foster the aims of the BSF. Steve Pearce, President 2006-2008 reflects that 'Chris was a great support during my time on Council - glad I took the opportunity to tell him how grateful I was for that support when I did'. The legacy he has left is a successful, thriving Society. He was one of the good guys and will be sorely missed.
Over the past 30 years Chris and his partner Judy were a constant support to each other. They enjoyed numerous holidays every year in the Lake District where he absolutely loved the walking and the peace. His ashes will be scattered by Bassenthwaite Lake beneath Skiddaw close to Keswick. All our condolences go to Judy, his sister Janet and the wider family.
It is with great regret that we have to record the passing of one of the great stalwarts of the flavour industry and of the British Society of Flavourists
Ken Hassey.
Ken was a founder member of the Society and he, Bill Littlejohn and a small steering committee were instrumental in the inception of the British Society of Flavourists in the winter of 1970.
He was immediately elected as a Fellow Member of Council in 1971 and became Vice President from 1978 to 1980. He was President from 1980 to 1982 and then Immediate Past President from 1982 to 1984.
In October 1984 he delivered the prestigious Bill Littlejohn Memorial Lecture at the Scientific Lecture Theatre in Savile Row.
His prodigious work in these early days, particularly gaining support from the industry for the Gala Night in terms of sponsorship, was nothing short of phenomenal and he helped to build our unique Society into the vibrant organisation that we enjoy today.
Upon his retirement from the industry in October 2001 he was elected as an Honorary Member of the Society, only the ninth person to receive this accolade, for his services to the Society.
Ken commenced his career in the technical laboratories at W J Bush (later to become part of Bush Boake Allen Ltd) in 1953. He started as a Laboratory Assistant but his career was interrupted when he served two years National Service in the Royal Air Force from 1955 to 1957. Upon his return he was promoted to Trainee Flavourist a position he held until leaving in 1962.
He left to join Naarden as a Flavourist based in Holland from 1962 to 1963 then he came back to Naarden in London in the same capacity. He moved to Naarden South Africa as Technical Manager in 1964 where he remained until returning to Naarden Holland in 1966 as a Senior Flavourist.
In 1968 he joined Firmenich in Southall as Head of the Flavour Technical Division. He held this position until September 1984 when Firmenich closed down their Southall laboratories moving them back to Geneva. He was offered a position in Geneva but for family reasons did not wish to re-locate at that time.
Thus he joined Lionel Hitchen Essential Oils in Barton Stacey, Hampshire in January 1985 taking up a senior technical appointment where he built up the flavour and application laboratories. He also assisted the commercial team in presenting LHEO products not only in Europe but in North, South and Central America. As Alastair Hitchen so aptly remarks "Ken always had a 'can do attitude', a lot of energy and was fun to work with".
Ken went into hospital late November 2013 for a major procedure and the operation was successful.
Unfortunately, just after Christmas he picked up a chest infection which was being treated with antibiotics. Sadly he passed away painlessly on Friday 10th January.
His passing has left his family and friends bereft and to his widow Nuala and children, Paul, Carl and Tamara, we send our sincere condolences. Ken was a one off and will be sadly missed by all those with whom he came into contact – who can ever forget him.
His anecdotes were legion.
God Bless Ken
est in Peace
He will be Lovingly remembered
The Funeral service was held at St Erconwalds Catholic Church, Walton-on-Thames followed by cremation at Woking Cemetery on 23rd January 2014.
Only flowers from the family were requested at the funeral. Donations to The British Heart Foundation can still be sent to Fredk W Chitty & Co., Funeral Directors, 26 Brassey House, New Zealand Avenue, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey KT12 1QD.
Dave was a true Cockney, born in Whitechapel.
He went to work for W J Bush in Ash Grove Hackney (later Bush Boake and Allen) in 1966 as a lowly Mineral Water Dept. Assistant but soon became actively involved in Flavour creation, working on customer projects.
He left BBA in 1970 and went to work at White Stevenson in London and it was about this time he joined the BSF as an Associate member. In 1976 Dave went to work for Bulmer's in Hereford - he moved into sales because you got a car! but was soon to leave Bulmers and return to White Stevenson in Bletchley in 1978.
It was during this time he became interested in Morris dancing and folk scene around MK, as well as sailing.
He left White Stevenson in 1982 having risen to Food Flavour Sales Manager, and went to work in Wellingborough for a short spell (1982/3) at Barnet and Foster, he was then head hunted by PFW in Perivale London.
Dave took part in the 1985 Fastnet race and in 1986 he became a quarter owner of a 30 footer called "Anonymous" that was moored at Lymington.
In 1986-87 he became associate member of BSF council and then Honorary treasurer from 1987 to
Dave changed jobs again in 1989 and went to work in Marlow for Haarmann and Reimer. He rose to division manager and spent some time living and working in Germany for the company.
Dave took up scuba diving in 1990. He grew increasingly disillusioned with the industry and decided to train as a Dive Instructor. He gave up a well-paid secure job, left Haarmann & Reimer in 1994 and became a Dive Instructor in Stoney Cove in Leics.
In or around 1996/97 Dave started to suffer health problems and after a few months of investigations he was diagnosed with a type of lymphoma, which developed into a neuropathy. His dreams of being a dive instructor were shattered
In characteristic fashion he simply adjusted his expectations and went back to work in the flavour industry as a self-employed consultant for DC Flavours in Clacton and then at East Anglian Food Ingredients.
His health deteriorated and in January 2010 Dave was diagnosed with Parkinson's, despite this he soldiered on – playing petanque in Bancroft (a huge passion) and started to paint in oils. As if the Parkinson's wasn't bad enough, in November he was diagnosed with leukaemia and died within 5 weeks. He left a wife Becky.
I was privileged to speak at Dave's celebration at the Swan Revived Hotel at Newport Pagnell in which a number of BSF friends attended; we will all miss his infectious laugh and sense of fun. He was a true gentleman
Richard Clark
John Landau was born in Clapham, south London. He went to Battersea Grammar School, but despite being thought of as 'university material', he left school after taking his 'A' levels tempted by the big firms' 'milk round'. In his case the firm was HJ Heinz & Co. in Harlesden, west London, and it was a good choice. Heinz was sometimes called 'Heinz University' by the wags, for the encouragement and support that it gave to staff wanting to take further academic studies. Thus John took HNDs and later a BSc in Botany with Chemistry ancillary, part-time at the Regent Street Polytechnic (now the University of Westminster).
When Heinz's administration and laboratories moved to a new state-of-the-art building across west London in Hayes Park, John worked in Food Research and Development. This gave him the opportunity to be part of the tomato season team in Portugal. There he met Maria, who had joined the team on a scholarship from the Confederation of British Industry, and they married in 1968.
John enjoyed the food industry immensely, but wanted to expand his horizons within it. Therefore, in 1972, he began working for Bush Boake Allen (BBA), a well-established British firm, at their site in Hackney, east London. There, under the tutelage of Henry Heath, he found a world of wonders working in the laboratory with flavours and spices and their applications. As the new idea of technical salesmen took hold, he became one of them in 1975, selling a unique textured soya protein called Bontrae. This was in a joint venture between BBA and General Mills Inc. His portfolio of customers was in the UK and Europe, including for some time his old alma mater HJ Heinz.
His career with BBA was interrupted by a spell with flavours and fragrances company Pauls &Whites in Bletchley, but he was enticed back to BBA. He stayed there until after its takeover by IFF (International Flavors and Fragrances), leaving in 2002. After that he worked for Eastern Choice, a Chinese speciality ingredients company in Wales. Retirement beckoned following his spell there, but he was hooked again, this time working two days a week for Japanese food supplements company Sun Chlorella. Although in a retail environment, this was still John from far back in time when he became a salesman: the lure of face-to-face contact with the customer, establishing a relationship and using his long experience in the industry to understand customer needs.
During his time in the flavours industry, he gained membership of the British Society of Flavourists. He became a committee member, then Vice-President and President. In 2002 he was presented with the Hugh Davis Memorial Award.
Apart from his strong work ethic, John also had an enthusiasm and desire to deepen his knowledge whenever he got interested in anything. Most of his hobbies and interests started in his early teens: coarse fishing (sometimes 'bagging up' with the BBA Fishing Club); music, mainly black American blues, soul and jazz – which he wrote about on occasion for specialist magazines; football and his beloved Arsenal, where he was a season ticket holder. However, in the last five years of his life, he also used his natural aptitude to start drawing and painting seriously; his interest in techniques led him to many visits to art galleries at home and abroad.
John leaves a wife Maria and son David.
John Gracey died 29th February this year aged 83. He will be remembered by a number of us who can date their association with the flavour Industry back to the late seventies when he held senior management positions at White Stevenson Ltd (MD, 1977 - 9, Reigate and Bletchley factories) and later at Barnett & Foster Ltd, Wellingborough (Deputy MD and Marketing and Technical Director, 1980 - 1989)
John was born 28th
January 1929 in West Kirby, Cheshire. After his birth he returned with his parents to the then family home in Montevideo, Uruguay. The family came back to the UK in 1933, living in Belfast. He studied at `Campbell College, Belfast, achieving a 1st in Chemistry in the NI Senior Certificate in 1946 and followed this at the Chemistry faculty, Queen's University Belfast, to gain his BSc degree (1950). His PhD Thesis (1954) entitled -
`Physico-chemical studies on some organo-metallic compounds'
(ref.Science library QUB T//54.H18) was followed by the paper - Gracey, J.P.V. and A.R.Ubbellohde `
The delocalisation of electrons in solid organic complexes of anthracene'
J.Chem.Soc., 1955, 4089 - 4097.
Following training in the Queen's University Air Squadron, 1946 - 1950, he volunteered for the Royal Auxiliary Air Force 502 Squadron, Aldergrove, Co.Antrim in 1950, flying initially Spitfires for less than a year until the squadron was issued the single seater De Havilland Vampire jet fighter (a twin-tailed aircraft).
He was a proud fighter pilot and was lucky to survive a live firing incident on 10th July 1954. As reported in the local press, The Times and The News of the World - "an exceptionally clever forced landing by Flying Officer JPVGracey of 502 (Ulster) Squadron." After 1954 he was transferred to a squadron at Manchester, where he served until his resignation from the service in 1956, when he started on his Industrial career.
He started out with Acrylics, working at ICI, Darwen, Lancashire, soon becoming the Technical Service & Development manager, transferring later to the headquarters of the ICI Plastic Division at Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. His next move was into the Food Industry as Sales and Development Manager for CPC (Corn Products Corporation). It was here, at CPC, where he first met Shelagh, his wife to be. His recruitment by Pauls & Whites of Ipswich, to take up the Managing Directorship of their subsidiary, White Stevenson Ltd., in 1977, was to provide his first experience of Flavour Manufacturing.
White Stevenson Ltd, formed by the merger of the old London based flavour house `Stevenson & Howell' with other companies within the Pauls Group, 'White Tompkins & Courage Ltd', at Reigate, Surrey, and 'Gillman & Spencer Ltd' at Bletchley in Bedfordshire, provided a diversity of products on two factory sites. Although he was with the company for just two years the experience would have prepared him for his next challenge at the Wellingborough factory of Barnett & Foster Ltd. John was first recruited as Deputy Managing Director in 1980, but after several changes at board level he assumed control of both the Marketing and Technical functions becoming a key member of a strong and successful management team. On the technical side he maintained contact with a number of scientific institutions and became a council member at BIBRA (British Industrial Biological Research Association) in 1984. During the eighties Barnett & Foster increased in stature returning growth and profitability year
in and year out and John made good contribution to this success. Company rules dictated that Directors should retire at sixty and accordingly he had to comply in 1989.
My connection with John Gracey goes back to 1977 when I was Works Chemist at the Reigate factory of White Stevenson. Seeking more experience of production management I had moved to Barnett & Foster in November 1979, to take up the position of Distillation and Extracts Manager in charge of a new department designated for the production of natural flavouring products. Coincidently John arrived at Wellingborough six months later and we were once again working on the same site.
John possessed an innovative and active mind, was a great lateral thinker and was always inspirational to those around him. I often think that much of what is expressed in Kipling's poem `If' could be applied to John. He could keep his head when a crisis was looming and had the ability to lead without losing the common touch. He is remembered for his humour, his astuteness and creativity in the workplace, ability as a manager, and of course, those twinkling blue eyes which complemented a quick mind and ready wit. From my point of view he was a very good friend and colleague.
Shelagh now lives at Poole, Dorset, where she is near to their daughter, son-in-law and the grandchildren. On behalf of the British Society of Flavourists our deepest sympathy is extended to all the family.

"I liked having the product reviewed by one of your professionals and the suggestions that were made. That was very helpful. The invitation was great quality and the printing clear."
"I was pressed with time when I placed my order and took the risk of not getting a "proof". The invites came in the mail as promised and I was so happy with the outcome. Beautifully made with all specs to the point. Aside from this I am very pleased with the customer service i received most especially for the item that I have to return due to duplication. Keep up the good work! Great job!"

NEW YORK, NY (FOX44) – From action-thrillers to drama, drama, and more drama. A new Jersey gal ventures into the bail-bond business and an ex-con is declaring his innocence.
From page to screen Katherine Heigl gets into the action as Stephanie Plum in "One for the Money". The first installment of the best-selling book series follows a Jersey girl down on her luck who ventures into the bail-bond business with a starting assignment of hunting down an old flame.
In the thriller "Man on a Ledge" Sam Worthington plays an ex-con who goes to shocking lengths and heights to declare his innocence after being accused of diamond theft and that's just the start of the drama.
Taking the tension to a more frigid degree "The Grey" follows an oil drilling team who survive a plane crash only to face the elements outdoors. Luckily they have Liam Neeson leading their fight for survival; he doesn't tend to back down easily.
And finally, a physical transformation and 19th century drama earned Glenn Close an Oscar nomination for "Albert Nobbs". Starring as an Irish woman who disguises herself as a man in order to find work and finds herself tangled up in the facade.
With awards-season drama and action-packed thrillers, it's a wide variety to choose from this week at the movies.
