Celebrating Liverpool's Jewish Community
10 November 2014 by Kay
Yesterday I attended a special unveiling of heritage plaques relating to Liverpool's Jewish Community at King David School, Childwall.
As part of the project, run by The King David and Harold House Foundation, the commemorative plaques and foundation stones were rescued from the Liverpool Hebrew School, the King David High and Primary Schools and Harold House, dating back to 1841. Intricate resin copies were produced for the display. Read more…
Subtle beasts
7 November 2014 by Zachary
Snakes hold a universal fascination, so it is not surprising that our new 'Sssnakes Alive' exhibition at World Museum is drawing large audiences. We all know that some snake species are highly venomous, but people's fascination with snakes cannot be explained by the fear factor alone. Read more…
John Moores artist explains how Liverpool nightlife gave work new direction
6 November 2014 by Laura
In a special guest blog John Moores artist Susie Hamilton shares with us a new direction her work has taken since experiencing Liverpool nightlife for the first time!
"My John Moores painting 'Freezer' is a grim picture of a solitary woman in a supermarket, but coming to the private view at the Walker Art Gallery in July started me on a new phase of more ebullient work thanks to seeing something of Liverpool nightlife. Read more…
Zagreb's Museum of Broken Relationships
4 November 2014 by David Fleming
The Museum of Broken Relationships can be found in Zagreb, Croatia. It's a new type of museum that is way more interested in the stories behind the objects than in the objects themselves. When I visited recently the audience was made up of all sorts of people, mostly, it has to be said, having a good time, judging by the laughter, despite the fact that much of the museum's content is very poignant.

Radical Liverpool in art
3 November 2014 by Kay
I recently visited the Liverpool Biennial group show at the Liverpool School for the Blind building, Hardman Street, just before it closed. It was a rare chance to see inside the building (normally closed to the public), particularly the large mural, painted by Mick Jones in the early 1980s when the building was the Merseyside Trade Union Community and Unemployed Resource Centre.
I was especially interested in the mural as we have a large painting 'Unemployment on Merseyside – Campaigning for the Right to Work', also by Mick, on display in The People's Republic gallery which was commissioned by the Museum of Liverpool Life in 1993. Read more…
Mr. Turner, I presume!
30 October 2014 by Simon
Mike Leigh's new film 'Mr. Turner' is about to hit our screens and it's fantastic that one of George Holt's finest purchases is featured in the film; Turner's mighty painting 'The Wreck Buoy'.
This painting is currently on display in Tate Britain, for the 'Late Turner – Painting Set Free' exhibition, but it will be back at Sudley House in early 2015. Read more…
Jacques, the Pacific cleaner shrimp
29 October 2014 by Alyster
We have many of the fish from 'Finding Nemo' at the Aquarium, but the non-fish we have from the film is the Pacific cleaner shrimp ('Lysmata amboinensis'), which is the character Jacques. I love invertebrates and this shrimp is in my top ten! Read more…

You can get involved by helping to decorate unique hand-drawn portraits created by Oly on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 November. The images will be incorporated into the giant quilt forming a geographical map, showcasing how MP's voted across the UK. Read more…

I have a Solomon Brecount b February 22, 1800 and died about 1860. His parents were Solomon and Lydia DeCamp Brecount. His father died at the age of 36 leaving his wife and eight children all under fifteen years of age. In three years she remarried. She married Abraham or Thomas Auter on September 28, 1802. They moved to Mississippi near Vicksburg and had more children. There is some indication that when Lydia died she was living with a daughter in Indiana others feel she died in Mississippi. Both Solomon and Lydia DeCamp were born in New Jersey and married there. I have more on their families if this is what you are looking for. Notify Administrator about this message?

Google Straps On Jetpac to Take Search to New Heights August 19, 2014 Google has acquired Jetpac, according to a statement that appeared Friday on the Jetpac website. Jetpac is the creator of a handful of apps, including City Guides, which analyzes Instagram photos and then automatically creates guides based on the collected data. That information gives users a lot of search options. Not only can they find coffee shops, for example -- they can find the hippest. |
Facebook Adds Training Wheels for the Humor-Impaired August 19, 2014 Facebook has begun labeling some of the satirical news articles that appear in users' news feeds with a tag designed to prevent readers from mistaking the content for genuine news. The social network's "[Satire]" tag is apparently part of an experiment that's been under way for a month or so. The rules for its application don't seem to be entirely clear. |
Twitter Experiment Elicits Howls of Disapproval August 18, 2014 Twitter's latest tinkering with its members' timelines appears to be ticking off more than a few tweeters. The experiment opens timelines to tweets members' followers have tagged as favorites, as well as to some popular tweets gleaned from their followers' timelines. "Changing the rules of engagement for users without notice is very Facebookian of you Twitter," tweeted Peter Singer. |
Twitter to Review Toothless Policies on Cyberharrassment August 15, 2014 A deluge of hateful tweets after the suicide of actor Robin Williams earlier this week forced his daughter Zelda to publicly quit Twitter and Instagram. "We will not tolerate abuse of this nature on Twitter," Del Harvey, the company's vice president of trust and safety, said in a prepared statement. Twitter has suspended "a number of accounts related to this issue for violating our rules." |
Vevo Music Videos Get Pinned August 14, 2014 Pinterest said Wednesday that it has signed a deal that will allow users to create boards that include their favorite Vevo music videos. They now will be able to share, search for and watch Vevo videos on Pinterest, as well as pin videos to Pinterest straight from Vevo.com or the Vevo iOS app. The move is an indication that Pinterest is serious about providing a broader social platform. |
Hotel Bites Internet - Internet Bites Back August 04, 2014 Online reviews are a modern-day fact of life for any company operating in the hospitality industry, but an Internet maelstrom erupted when one hotel's surprising response to that reality was brought to light. Namely, the Union Street Guest House in upstate New York threatened to charge those who booked wedding parties at the venue $500 for every bad review posted online by any of their guests. |
Facebook Staring at Fresh Privacy Class Action August 01, 2014 Facebook is set for another legal battle over privacy, with a fresh class-action lawsuit fired up against the company. The legal action is the brainchild of Austrian law student Max Schrems, a noted campaigner against Facebook's treatment of user privacy. Schrems called on adult Facebook users around the world to join his suit after he filed a complaint in Vienna's commercial court. |
Twitter Claims Legions of Uncounted 'Users' July 30, 2014 Twitter posted healthy revenue for the second quarter -- US$312 million, up 124 percent year-over-year. Its profit? Not there yet. However, even though the company reported a net loss of $145 million, investors are likely to overlook the lack of profit for some time. Financials aside, what Twitter really wants everyone to know is that it is big -- as in average monthly user big. |
OkCupid's Confessed Hijinks Get Thumbs-Down July 29, 2014 OkCupid has admitted carrying out psychological experiments on its users. Because OkCupid doesn't really know what it's doing, it needs to experiment to see what works and what doesn't, according to cofounder Christian Rudder. Every Internet company needs to test different things with users, and website visitors are subjected to "hundreds of experiments," he argued. "That's how websites work." |
Bubblews Will Give You a Penny for Your Thoughts July 29, 2014 Bubblews, a social media platform that offers to pay users for their posts, last week moved out of its testing phase, which began in 2012. It emerged with a new look designed to attract users who might be dissatisfied with other social media offerings. Bubblews is attempting to build a self-sustaining ecosystem in which users who create engaging posts are paid for their work. |
Do Facebook Searches to Show Disability Fraud Violate the Constitution? July 28, 2014 Looking for evidence of disability fraud, the district attorney for Manhattan last year obtained 381 search warrants and served them on Facebook as part of a long-term investigation into a massive scheme. The search warrants were "sealed," which means they were not made public. Ultimately, 106 former New York police and firefighters were arrested. |
Facebook Rolls in Mobile Ad Dough July 24, 2014 Facebook chalked up $2.68 billion in ad revenue in Q2, up 67 percent year over year, and mobile ads accounted for about 62 percent of that haul, totaling $1.66 billion. "The ability of Facebook to move into the mobile ad space and to monetize it successfully was heavily questioned last year," said Andreas Scherer, managing partner at Salto Partners. |
Twitter's 'D' in Diversity Reflects Broader Industry Failure July 24, 2014 Like many other tech companies, Twitter is largely made up of white, male employees, pointing to a lack of diversity in the industry. The company revealed statistics about its organizational demographics, noting that almost 60 percent of Twitter's U.S. employees self-identify as white. Of Twitter's global workforce of around 3,000, 70 percent are male, and only a tenth of tech workers are women. |
Facebook Saves the Day From Slipping Away July 24, 2014 Facebook has launched a feature that allows users to save content from their News Feed to read or watch later. Called "Save," it is designed help users who may be inundated by links to articles, music clips and videos to separate the wheat from the chaff. Users who see something intriguing now can choose the Save option in a dropdown menu in the upper right-hand corner of a post. |
Investors Wise to Secret's Tantalizing Promise July 22, 2014 Secret last week announced that a recent round of funding, to the tune of $25 million, would help it expand its social networking reach. Since its launch about six months ago, Secret has provided a platform for users to post anonymous notes on topics ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime. Though its draw is anonymity, Secret points users to posts by people in their circle of friends. |
'Buy' Button Could Turn Facebook Into Impulse-Shopping-Ville July 18, 2014 Facebook is testing a function that would allow users to buy products without leaving the site or app. Small and medium-sized businesses in the U.S. that are taking part in the trial can add the Buy button to ads displayed in users' News Feeds or in posts on their pages. Users will see the Buy button in relevant ads whether they're on the Facebook website or using their mobile device. |
Comcast Rep Tears Into Fleeing Customer 'Like a Pit Bull on a Pork Chop' July 15, 2014 Comcast on Tuesday was scrambling to repair the damage after a phone representative's rude treatment of a couple trying to disconnect their service went viral, thanks to a recording posted on the Web. The couple -- former Engadget editor Ryan Block, now at AOL, and his wife, TV host and writer Veronica Belmont -- called Comcast over the weekend and asked to cancel their service over the phone. |
The Social Media Fraud July 07, 2014 I spent much of last week talking about Facebook's infamous study of nearly a million customers and the company's attempts to make half of those customers happier and the other half more depressed. Setting aside how insanely stupid it was for Facebook to do this is the fact that with social media, isn't social the real problem? Could the entire segment be a fraud? |
Emotional Backlash Unlikely to Unsettle Facebook July 02, 2014 It's unlikely that Facebook's psych experiment that turned some 700,000 of its users into involuntary lab rats will hurt its brand or advertising revenue. However, Facebook's research on the emotional impact of content in the News Feeds of its members has unleashed a torrent of criticism. Facebook has faced this kind of outrage before, though, and the results have almost always been the same. |
Google Gives Orkut Users Eviction Notice July 01, 2014 Google on Monday announced that it is bidding farewell to Orkut, its first attempt at a social network, which saw fair international success before Facebook took over the scene. Launched in 2004, Orkut provided a place for users to display profiles, hang out and connect with others. The site gained popularity outside the U.S., particularly in Brazil and India. |
Manipulative User Research Earns Facebook a Shiner June 30, 2014 Once again, Facebook is embroiled in a controversy over privacy. This time, hackles have been raised by publication of a study for which the company manipulated the News Feeds of nearly 700,000 subscribers. The study concluded that negative messages on social networks make people sad, and positive ones make them happy -- and those feelings can spread through a social network to third parties. |
Facebook, NY DA Lock Horns Over User Data Warrants June 27, 2014 Facebook, not known for respecting users' privacy, is battling a New York County district attorney's demand for all information pertaining to the accounts of several hundred of its subscribers. DA Cyrus Vance's office issued 381 secret warrants for the information in July of 2013 in a hunt for retired police officers and firefighters wrongfully claiming Social Security disability benefits. |
Wall Street Goes Gaga Over GoPro June 27, 2014 Action camera maker GoPro, which went public Thursday, saw its share prices skyrocket, closing at $31.34, 30 percent over its asking price of $24. That was a rare positive note in an otherwise down market, but it has raised questions. Is the price justified, considering that GoPro has only one product? Can the company meet the challenges of going public? What about the competition? |
Path Adds Another Avenue for Mobile Gabfest June 23, 2014 Path has hived off its mobile-only messaging service as a standalone app named "Talk," it announced Friday. It also ended limits on the number of friends users can communicate with, and announced its purchase of place messaging pioneer TalkTo as it sets itself for growth. The Talk app has a new feature, Ambient Status, that shows users' current status at a glance. |

Was young Mike Tyson a man or an impressionable blank slate? That's the question at the core of this lengthy rumination on the career of Mike Tyson that attempts to find a proper place for him in the pantheon of boxing's greats: Tyson became the highest paid and most popular athlete in the world. Not since Ali had a heavyweight champion achieved the status of a cult figure whose fame extended internationally, far beyond the boxing world. Men like boxing promoter (and convicted murderer) Don King and Donald Trump booked Tyson at $6 million, plus many times more than that for TV pay-per-view revenues, for appearances in the ring that often didn't last more than a few minutes. A 1990 article in Sports Illustrated recalled that Tyson's appeal was "no longer as a fighter, since it had become clear that nobody in this world was capable of defeating him, but as an expensive novelty act." Tyson's "aura of invincibility far transcended even his considerable boxing skills." He was a 1980s bull market embodied in a single man.

How much is that Buddha worth?
The spiraling price of gold has placed a whole new value on Taoist and Buddhist statuary in Taiwan. Gold, selling at $300 an ounce in 2002, is now pushing $1,300 an ounce. Temples are finding themselves in possession of golden Buddhas whose market values have significantly improved their fortunes. While many Taiwanese are building security systems to safeguard their treasures, not so the Nantien Temple in Ilan, in northeastern Taiwan, which built a 588-lb sea goddess (Matsu) in the mid 1990s. Canadian Business (CB) Online reports: "One would have difficulty hoisting the heavy statue even with a crane," said temple official Chen Cheng-nan. So far, I haven't heard of a temple that wants to sell. I just hope you can't borrow against the statues. More » -

Japanese pop art Buddha sculpture causes stir at Versailles
A recent art installation at the Versailles Palace is causing a stir among the French. Pieces of sculpture Takashi Murakami's modern artwork---including the 18-foot "Oval Buddha"---are set to appear in a two-month exhibition entitled Murakami Versailles that will fill the rooms of the World Heritage site. The exhibit, which opened this week, has protesters who don't believe that Japanese Pop Art has a place on the palace grounds. Via the Japan Times: There are many who fail to see the link between the splendour of France's royal palace and the manga-inspired work of Takashi Murakami and, as the Japanese provocateur prepares to unveil a controversial exhibition of his sculptures, the stately calm of the chateau has been disrupted by an unseemly row over contemporary art.

High-Flying Shaolin Monks at Sydney Opera House
Starting tomorrow, 17 Buddhist monks from the Shaolin Temple in China will put their martial arts skills on display at the Sydney Opera House, when they star in the acclaimed contemporary movement piece Sutra. Bryce Hallett at the Sydney Morning Herald has the story: Directed, choreographed and performed by the Moroccan-Belgian dancer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, the East-meets-West collaboration fuses contemporary European dance, the martial arts feats of 17 Buddhist monks from the Shaolin Temple in China, an ingenious set of wooden boxes by the British sculptor Antony Gormley and an original score by the Polish composer Szymon Brzoska. … More » -
The Photography of Allen Ginsberg at the National Gallery of Art
VIA the New York Times, WASHINGTON—The poet Allen Ginsberg, who died in 1997, adored life, feared death and craved fame. These obsessions seemed to have kept him, despite his practice of Buddhist meditation, from sitting still for long. He was constantly writing, teaching, traveling, networking, chasing lovers, sampling drugs, pushing political causes and promoting the work of writer friends. In the early 1950s he began to photograph these friends in casual snapshots, meant to be little more than souvenirs of a shared time and ethos. Years later his picture taking — often of the same friends, now battered by life or approaching death — became more formal and artful, as if he were trying to freeze his subjects' faces and energies, and to show off his photographic skills, for the history books.

Crew Cut: Family Business
After featuring The DONZ Family Crew in a recent Crew Cut edition, we came upon a couple of Crews cut from the same pin-striped cloth, including the illustrious Financed and Corrupt (FNCO). Their recruitment vid, which features The Godfather's classic theme and shows off their trademark red and black on everything from three piece suits to freshly painted Vapid Peyotes, sends a clear message to all of greater Los Santos that they are not to be crossed.
Speaking of mafiosi, the MADE OF STEEL MOS (1MOS) is all business, gravely warning "Don't mess with our money or our family". In contrast, the crimson-striped Based MOBB (MOBB) Crew appears to take a lighter approach to the whole la famiglia thing - by the looks of things on their Snapmatic page they seem to be mostly about the fun, but mess with them and you might get burned.
MOBB wear the masks of red death.
The Richkidzz (RICH) Crew are mobbing in their own unique way, rocking their signature orange getups like a modern-day GTA Online chain gang. Commissioner thaforce wrote to us with great pride in the photos they've been taking, confident they were strong enough to be featured here in the Crew Cut. Feel your Crew should be represented? Give us a shout and convince us why at email@example.com.
Blood orange. The Richkidzz at various stages.
Most Crews have at least that one member with an itchy iFruit finger, eagerly out to capture every mission and ill moment to post to Snapmatic and/or Instagram. The Pack of parasites (1124) Crew have quite the active leader and lensman in 3rdeyeopen47, whose Instagram is solely dedicated to Crew drift action.
The Grave Reapers MC (GRMC) Crew, known for pushing iron horses above and beyond, have been taking the same approach with their own Instagram feed as seen in some selections below:
Commissioner TDSpiral of The Crystal Moth (MOTH) Crew released on deviantART this impressive GTA-artwork-style original illo in honor of his squad.
Crews have been out in full force at the first couple of GTA Online Social Club Event weekends - check out some party photos snapped during the #VespucciBeachParty and the recent Social Club #CreatorWeekend Event.
Vespucci Beach Partygoers. From left: The Asylum MC (SYLM) Crew a rockin on top of the new Paradise van; the Public Enemy GALICIA (PEGA) Crew salute with panache; and the SN1-SN26 (SN26) Crew are the most frightening thing to happen to the conga line since Buster Poindexter.
Crews styling during the most recent Social Club Event. From left: Joe_Dirt_Yall captured some of his Reapers - LosSantos (ROLS) Crew having a blast; GTA Paris (7593) Crew Leader sebbob93's usual unobstructed city view out of his apartment window just got blocked by one of his Crew-mates hoisting a Canis Bodhi with a Cargobob; mathduf27 and a couple other members of the Saguenay (SAGS) Crew of Quebec in festive red and green duds.
The Social Club Crew community has been on a hot streak with stellar videos as of late. The GamerFuzion (GMRF) Crew captured their very first time in Survival mode. If you have yet to test the waves, this run through at the Railyard is a nice introduction. For even more guidance, look to HikeTheGamer and his group of compatriots the LANDED IT (HIKE) Crew below for a fun capture of an epic live-stream session they had filled with custom car flexing and wanton destruction.

Edited By: donkeydavid on Nov 02, 2011 16:36 - Remarkable value. I am currently re-watching these on Sky Atlantic and after every episode I think to myself that I could quite happily watch another so maybe I should just get this set and do a marathon!
- Correct, series 1 are the only ones on blu-ray at the moment but to be honest if they do release the remaining 5/6 series they will be mega expensive.
This is the best series ever shown closely followed by the shield. - Yes, Play have pre-order page ready for a complete Blu-ray boxset when it becomes available. Season 1 and 6 sold poorly on Blu-ray so release date has been delayed and whether it is ever produced is anyone's guess

Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes computations are presented for the flow over a pure plunging aerofoil and a plunging wing. The implicit RANS solver used for obtaining time-accurate solution is based on implicit finite volume nodal point spatial discretization scheme with dual time stepping. Baldwin and Lomax turbulence model has been used for the turbulence closure. The results are obtained in the form of aerodynamic coefficients, thrust coefficient and propulsion efficiency for two different cases over the aerofoil and wing and are compared with available literature.

Palm Holistic Healthcare Center's licensed wellness professionals offer acupuncture and colon hydrotherapy, along with ion detox services, massage therapy, and natural spa treatments in a warm and welcoming environment. Here, you can pop in for a comprensive exam, schedule an appointment with a licensed acupuncturist to treat issues ranging from migraines to chronic pain, or have your body tested for nutritional imbalances or toxic substances. For clients struggling to stop smoking, the center can use its cool laser treatments on specific body energy points that release endorphines and calm nicotine cravings. Or visitors can simply enjoy a relaxing hour-long facial. The Palm Holistic Healthcare Center is a one-stop spot for natural beauty and wellness services, and the spacious and wood-floored interior creates a peaceful vibe.
White curtain sheers and clean white walls lead clients from the entryway to treatment rooms inside Aventura Aesthetics, where beauty services leave clients looking and feeling renewed. Microdermabrasion treatments incorporate a diamond-tipped wand to whisk away the topmost layer of dull skin and leave a natural glow in its place. For a more dramatic change, Bio-Lift facials tighten complexions with sound waves to cancel out drooping brows, lines, and pirate radio stations broadcasting from the forehead. When it comes to massage therapy, Swedish massages relax muscles with gentle kneading, whereas deep-tissue massage gets to the center of chronic pain and releases it with targeted finger pressure.
Victoria Ruben believes beauty shouldn't be temporary. After founding her permanent-makeup business 20 years ago in Paris, she decided to further her aesthetic mission by opening a cosmetology and beauty school to share her refined technique with others. Today, Victoria combines her expertise with the latest tattooing equipment to fine-tune faces in her Florida studio. Her precise yet painterly touches of color can simulate all the hallmarks of a professional makeup application, from defining brows to subtly shading lips to drawing distinguished monocles.
Thin needles slip gently into the skin at specific points on the body, promoting balance and a healthy flow of energy. At the other end of these needles is the sure hand of Sonia Li, who uses the ancient practice of acupuncture to alleviate anxiety, hypertension, and chronic pain. Her holistic treatments have also been known to promote collagen growth, which combats wrinkles and fine lines. Sonia's medical knowledge also comes in handy during metabolic assessments, in which she advises clients to cut back on drinking soda and unrefined oil.
Chris Karlecke first became interested in massage while in the Navy. His duties took him to East Asia, where he was able to experience the many different massage techniques and modalities available abroad.?Once he returned to America, he enrolled in massage therapy school. Now, as the owner and therapist behind Olympian Massage Therapy, Chris provides relaxation to clients and aids in injury recovery, using the skills he honed working with professional athletes as part of their medical teams.

Police say woman killed Oregon boy with methadone
Jul 25, 2014
By The Associated Press
EUGENE — A medical examiner determined that a 2-year-old boy died from an overdose of methadone that police say was given to him by his now-deceased grandmother.
The boy, Max Maciejewski, stopped breathing after he'd fallen asleep at his grandmother's Eugene home in December. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
Police subsequently conducted an investigation and now say have the evidence that would have allowed them to charge Carol Lumsden with first-degree manslaughter, The Register-Guard newspaper reported Friday.
Lumsden, 58, died from complications of the H1N1 virus in January.
Lumsden possessed the powerful painkiller and is believed to have orally administered it to her grandson, police spokeswoman Melinda McLaughlin said. She said investigators spoke with witnesses who alleged that Lumsden had intentionally drugged other children in the past.
Max's uncle, Aaron Heuser of Eugene, said Thursday that he and his wife suspected that Lumsden was responsible for the death, and had phoned the state Department of Human Services a few months before the fatal overdose to report concerns about her ability to care for Max.
Agency spokesman Gene Evans declined to discuss the case, saying child welfare records and reports of abuse and neglect are kept confidential.
Max was born Oct. 3, 2011, to Katherine Lumsden and Joshua Maciejewski, and the couple lived with Carol Lumsden.
Katherine Lumsden was 31 when she died of pneumonia last October, leaving her husband and mother to care for Max.
Carol Lumsden spoke with The Register-Guard the day after Max's death. She said the boy usually slept in her bed, and that she had awakened at about 1 a.m. to find him not breathing.
"What woke me up was that his gentle snore wasn't there anymore," Lumsden said in the Dec. 9 interview.
McLaughlin said "multiple family members" in Lumsden's home had access to methadone, a drug often used to wean addicts off heroin.
Joshua Maciejewski was sentenced to three years and four months in state prison after pleading guilty in March to a felony charge of heroin delivery, state court records show. He previously served federal prison time for a bank robbery.
About 5,000 people die every year from methadone overdoses, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Lying on my back, I couldn't comprehend exactly what had happened. Against all rules of after-school fights, three blows to my face had come in quick succession and landed with audible thumps. Shouts from the encircled kids rang in my ears.
The kids, mostly from Old Mrs. Crabtree's third-grade class, had followed us to the magnolia out in front of Candi's house. Read More»
When two white newspaper reporters for the Virginian-Pilot were driving through Norfolk, and were set upon and beaten by a mob of young blacks — beaten so badly that they had to take a week off from work — that might seem to have been news that should have been reported, at least by their own newspaper. But it wasn't.
"The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News Channel was the first major television program to report this incident. Yet this story is not just a Norfolk story, either in what happened or in how the media and the authorities have tried to sweep it under the rug. Read More»
Former NPR and current Fox News political analyst Juan Williams made an excellent point Monday night on "The O'Reilly Factor." Williams said the major reason President Obama had not endorsed same-sex marriage is because of the strong opposition to it in the black and Hispanic communities.
Who could have doubted, though, that the president favors expanding the definition of marriage to include gays and lesbians? Read More»
This [past] week a 36-year incumbent, Senator Richard Luger of Indiana, was easily defeated in the Republican primary. An incumbent Republican also lost in Ohio, and another incumbent Democrat lost in Pennsylvania.
To sum it up, 2012 has been a very bad year for establishment politicians in Congress so far. All over the country we see incumbent after incumbent defeated in primary elections
What's behind this national trend to replace long-time leaders in Congress? Read More»
When the federal government spends $823,000 on a conference for 300 employees (yes, $2,743 per employee) it is more than the fleecing of taxpayers. It is complete and total arrogance. It is failed leadership. It is a waste of tax dollars. It is disgusting.
In October of 2010, the General Services Administration (GSA) held an extravagant 4-day conference at the opulent M Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. The conference included such lavish expenses as a $31,000 reception complete with a clown and mind-reader. Read More»

The election of Socialist Party candidate Francois Hollande to the presidency of France epitomizes the sorry state of contemporary democracy. By that, I don't mean to imply that the French people should have voted for the incumbent, Nicolas Sarkozy. Neither would be capable of solving France's intractable problems in a way acceptable to French voters, nor are the problems with democracy unique to France. To varying degrees they exist throughout Europe as well as here in the United States. Read More»
It's been almost 30 years since Debbie and I, as school girls, began the great debate. Over the ensuing years, we have each stood firmly on what we believed to be true. There was no compromising, moving or being reasonable.

With a Mother's Day column due Thursday morning and it being only Wednesday, I really wasn't too concerned that no idea had yet burst forth down onto paper. Besides, in the newspaper business, 24 hours is a lifetime. In the office by 9, I promised to work all day if needed. Mother's Day was too important not to get it right. Read More»
On Friday, April 24, 1970, I graduated from boot camp at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S.C. For three months, I had been a member of Platoon 223, Second Recruit Training Battalion. For much of that time I looked forward to having my family present and watching me graduate.
It wasn't to be. Shortly before the graduation date I received a letter from home informing me that my folks would not be able to make the journey. Read More»

One permanent resident of Portsmouth you need to pay a visit to is HMS Victory, the flagship of Vice Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson. This historical war veteran is definitely worth your time and will delight kids of all ages.
Related to:- Family Travel
Gunwharf Quays
Connecting the Naval Dockyards with Old Portsmouth, Gunwharf Quays is a new development of apartments, shops, cafes, restaurants and bars.
It's become something of a destination, not only for tourists but locals as well – not surprising considering there are some 95 designer shops, 30 restaurants, a 14-screen cinema, bowling alley, comedy club, nightclub as well as a hotel. All built alongside a new marina, a 10 minute walk from the Naval Dockyard and minutes from Old Portsmouth. And dominating the Quays is Spinnaker Tower. -
Old Portsmouth
Little is left of Old Portsmouth – the original part of the city – due to redevelopment over the centuries and, most significantly, the Luftwaffe bombing of WWII. It is now predominantly residential as commerce and industry gradually moved to other parts of the city.
But remnants of the 15th century fortifications of the city remain and are readily accessible, as is the Anglican Cathedral (one of only two cathedrals in England visible from the sea – the other being Chichester) and there are 2-3 waterside pubs housed in 18th century buildings (although heavily renovated).Related to:- Historical Travel
Historic Dockyard - Harbour Tour
Included in the admission ticket to the Dockyard is the harbour trip around the modern day naval base. With a running commentary from the pilot, we get to hear the history of the base as well as details of the ships that are in dock. This obviously varies from day to day - on the day we were there, a number were berthed, including the Ark Royal aircraft carrier, one the RN's largest.
The tour is worth taking at the end of your time at the Dockyard - not only to put size into perspective - but because the ferry stops at Gunwharf Quays (although it does do a full circle back to the Dockyard), where lunch/dinner or just coffee maybe beckoning. -
Historic Dockyard - HMS Victory
Launched in 1765 in Chatham, Kent, the HMS Victory is the oldest naval ship still in commission, in spite of being retired from active duty in 1812.
It is most famous for being Vice-Admiral Nelson's flagship in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 against the French/Spanish fleet and where he was fatally wounded during battle. But Victory had already seen considerable action before Trafalgar under the command of a number of captains - including the two battles of Ushant (again, against the French).
In 1798, it was determined that Victory was unfit for service as a warship, and became a hospital for wounded French and Spanish POWs. But with the HMS Impregnable running aground in Chichester Harbour and unable to be refloated, Victory was reconditioned and in 1803 once again entered service.
More expeditions followed Trafalgar but in 1812 the Victory became a depot ship, moored in Portsmouth Harbour. The historic ship gradually deteriorated until the 1920s saw the beginning of the campaign to restore the ship, much beloved by the English. (When it was damaged by a Lutwaffe bomb in 1941 during WWII, the Germans tried a propaganda coup in announcing the destruction of HMS Victory, leading to an instant denial by the British Admiralty).
Nowadays, along with HMS Warrior, Victory is an important museum ship at the Historic Dockyard, attracting more than 350,000 visitors per year. You can walk throughout the ship, from below decks to the base of the transom (Victory is in dry dock). Be warned though - low ceilings and steep stairwells.Related to:- Museum Visits

Historic Dockyard - HMS Warrior
The pride of Queen Victoria's navy, when completed in 1861, the HMS Warrior was largest, fastest, most heavily armed and most heavily armoured warship the world had known. Commissioned by the Royal Navy, it was built in direct response to the French ship La Gloire, launched a year earlier.
Such was the race to constantly improve fire-power and armour, HMS Warrior was withdrawn from service only 22 years later in 1883 having never been engaged in battle. Luckily, having been withdrawn she was not sold off for scrap – instead being used for a variety of purposes hardly fitting for such a prestigious ship. It was first proposed to restore HMS Warrior as a museum ship in the 1960s, although it wasn't until 1979 work began – a program which took 8 years.
HMS Warrior returned to Portsmouth in 1987 and now forms a centrepiece of the Historic Dockyard. Access enables you to wander around throughout - from engine rooms, gun decks, officer's cabins, galleys.Related to:- Museum Visits

Historic Dockyard
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is the home of the Royal Navy.
Whether or not you are interested in military history or boats, the Historic Dockyard is a fabulous day out. Included in the (rather steep) admission fee includes access to Nelson's ship, the HMS Victory; the first British iron-clad warship, HMS Warrior: a harbour tour; the National Museum of the Royal Navy; the interactive Action Stations (for kids and adults alike) and the Mary Rose Museum. Sadly, viewing the Mary Rose itself is not currently possible as a new home is being built around the hull and is not due to open until 2012.
See separate tips below.
Admission fees: £19.50 (adult)/£16.50 (senior)/£14 (child)/£55 (family)
Opening times: Everyday except 24/25/26 December.
April – October: 10am-6pm (last tickets sold at 4.30pm)
Nov – March: 10am – 5.30pm (last tickets sold at 4.00pm)

- Arts and Culture
Enjoy the fab views
The Spinnaker Tower is 170m high above sea level. It is higher than the London Eye, Blackpool tower and Big Ben and at 170m is the tallest publicly accessible structure in the UK. It is visible for miles around Portsmouth, changing the area's horizon.
Three different designs for the tower were proposed the Spinnaker design, a tripod design intended to emulate ship funnels and a twin tower design holding a large glass globe at the top. The final decision of the choice of design was given to the residents of Portsmouth, exhibitions were held in various locations around the area, with visitors being able to cast their vote, 13,000 people atended and voted at these exhibitions, with more than 60% favouring the Spinnaker design.
The design is similar to the Burj Al Arab in Dubai. However, the latter being a little less than twice as tall at 323 m. The tower represents sails billowing in the wind, a design accomplished using two large, white, sweeping steel arcs, which give the tower its spinnaker sail design.
The tower opened for business in October 2005, offering panaramic views across Portsmouth Harbour, across the Solent to the Isle of Wight and far beyond.The viewing distances on a clear day are claimed to be 37 km or 23 miles. At the top is a triple observation deck, providing a 320° view of the city of Portsmouth, the Langstone and Portsmouth harbours.
•Deck1 is at a height of 100m, has full height glass walls and is home to the largest glass floor in Europe.
•Deck2 is at 105m and is home to the 'time telescopes' and from 18 October 2010 onwards, there will also be a coffee shop on deck 2.
•Deck 3, known as the 'Crows Nest' is at 110m high and is open to the elements. It is the highest of the three observation platforms and has a wire mesh roof, allowing visitors to be in the elements. Windows extend to above head height, so it is not possible to get a view unobstructed by glass.
The website promises that if you can't see the 3 Solent forts on the day of your visit, each member of your party will be issued with a ticket to return for free within 3 months. To claim your free return visit, you must speak to our Duty Manager whilst you are visiting the Tower.
Admission: Adults £7.25, children (3-15 yrs) £5.75 (children under 3 FREE), senior citizens (60+) and students £6.50. Valid until 31st January 2011
Guide Book £3.50, Audio Guide £1.00

Fortified walls and battlement towers
Portsmouth was also an important port and military stronghold with the fortified walls and battlement towers defending the town from the sea. Two of the original fortifications are the two towers which have been in place for around 500 years. The Square Tower was built in 1494 and was originally a gun platform. It later served as a fortified residence for the Governor and subsequently it was later used as a store for gunpowder and then meat for the Navy. On the north east side of the tower is a gilded bust of King Charles I which was a gift to the city from the King himself.
The Round Tower, which dates from 1418, is at the other end of Point Barracks that were built in the 19th century. It was originally a single storey 18 gun battery and much narrower than it is today. The second tier was added to house 32 cannon while the rest of the battery was rearmed with 68 carronades on traversing mounts.
From the promenade you can also see the Saluting Platform (also Great Platform) which was originally built in Tudor times to carry bronze and iron guns to guard the harbour approaches. The Saluting Platform as well as the raised walkway which runs between the platform and the Spur Redoubt was originally built as a promenade in 1862.
The foundations of the town's main Guard House are outlined in red brick on the lower level next to the Promenade. This building was demolished in 1883.Related to:- Historical Travel
Millenium Promenade
The Millenium Promenade is a walkway that stretches over 6km on both sides of Portsmouth Harbour: 3km both the Portsmouth and Gosport communities. You can follow the Promenade all the way from the Historic Dockyard around Gunwharf Quays and further south into the centre of the Old Portsmouth that has retained much of its 18th century port feel. The promenade finishes at Spur Redoubt near Clarence Pier, Southsea.
The promenade has been built of natural stone and it was opened in 2001. Once it was opened, it made the part of waterfront accessible to the public after some centuries. The route is marked by a chain motif set into the surface, symbolising partnership between Portsmouth and Gosport & between past and present. Historically it also refers to the chain, which used to be tightened across the harbour entrance at times of potential attack.
The promenade is lighted by column-mounted lanterns. They were designed to reflect the historic character of blue lights at night that are strung around the harbour. -
The ruins of the Old Naval Garrison Church
Despite being bombed during World War II, the ruins of the Old Naval Garrison Church are still standing on the Grand Parade. The church was originally founded in 1212 as a hospice. It was also used as shelter for overseas pilgrims on their way to the cathedrals at Winchester, Chichester and Canterbury. In May 1662 Catherine of Braganza from Portugal landed at Portsmouth to marry King Charles II.
There are nearly 300 memorials associated with this church. However, many of the plagues went missing after they had been removed following the bombing in the 1940s. Further problems have been caused by the decision not to replace the church roof which has led to considerable erosion of the plaques. The reasons behind the decision not to replace the main roof and provide a roof to the Nave are the fact that this would probably increase the deterioration of the exposed stonework. Owing to its location next to the sea, the stonework has absorbed considerable amounts of salt solution, which would cause further damage if the salt was able to dry out.
The church is open from April to end Sept (Mon-Fri between 11am-4pm).
Admission is free.
Parking on streets adjacent to the church is permitted, though residents parking schemes operate in some areas.
For bookings and information about the church phone the Secretary, Friends of the Royal Garrison Church Peter Richmond, on 023 9282 3973 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com to:- Historical Travel
Harbour Tour
The harbour tours run every 30min giving a tour around the harbour with a commentary which was quite witty. Portsmouth harbour is still home to the modern Royal Navy and you can see the HMS Ark Royal, HMS Illustrious and HMS Invincible as well as several other military ships. On the way back towards gunwarf quays you will get great views of the spinnaker tower. Lots of sailboats came past as we were nearing our journey end which made for a pleasent video.
The trip is fairly cheap about GBP5 for 30min -
Portsmouth Waterfront
There's probably no better way to enjoy Portsmouth than walking along the waterfront, starting at the harbour with the Spinnaker Tower all the way down to the South Parade Pier.

Historic Dockyard
A fascinating full day out.
Home to Nelsons Flag ship, HMS Victory, also the Mary Rose, HMS Warrior and the Naval Museum.
The ships are an absorbing education, see and hear how the sailors slept, worked, ate and went to war.
HMS Warrior is a larger ship than Victory built to counter French moves in shipping. She was once the largest, fastest, most powerful warship in the world. She spent 10 years in service, 12 years in reserve and then became a depot ship and also a floating workshop for an oil jetty at Milford Haven.
The Mary Rose, sits in a dome, in the dark being constantly sprayed with a wax solution, it seems there is not a lot to look at however, when you realise how long she lay at the bottome of the ocean, how much of her is still in tact after all this time and how long it took to raise her and place her where she is right now, with pieces still being found out there in the sea, it is an unbelievable sight and accomplishment.
The HMS Victory, the location of where Nelson fell and finally died are on here.
On each ship there are volunteers whom you can approach with questions, they are knowledgeable and make the whole experience far more interesting if you take the time to speak with them.
I loved this day out, it also includes a 50 min. boat ride around the dock area and there is plenty to do for the children too.
The Warrior is hired out for weddings and events and fundraising events such as Burns Night , Sea Shanty Nights and Pickle Nights are held here.Related to:- Archeology
