Beneath A City Most Ordinary
by Graham Ettridge
(A taster of the beginning of the first chapter)
There is always a story behind every tale, a myth behind every legend, a memorable moment behind every anecdote. Every story, every myth, every memorable moment deserves to be told.
After many years of being asked why I like London so much, and after over indulging in many hours recounting my adventures and memorable moments, I have decided (along with the endless naggings from my friends and family) that it is about time I captured these precious observations and occurrences on paper. It is about time I gave the world the opportunity to experience London, one of the planet's most magnificent cities, though my eyes and my musings. If you, the reader, take even one thing from this book, and see just one thing different in London next time you visit her then, my dear reader, my task is achieved satisfactorily.
Whenever I travel I become intoxicated by the sensory overload of sights, smells and sounds. Everywhere I look I see the extraordinary that lies beneath the ordinary, the unusual in the everyday. Everywhere I walk I hear a concofany of sound, with each location having a unique melody and lyric. Everywhere I visit has a platform of scents and smells, whether it is the wild flowers growing in a meadow, or the fumes of diesel from the traffic in a city obscurely mixed with the smell of pork sausages and caramelised onions wafting from a street vendors' cart. It is like a perfect dish, if you remove just one of the magical sensory ingredients, the whole experience just isn't the same.
Chapter One - Outward bound
The journey from Swindon to London always feels ordinary. A short taxi ride takes me from my non distinct 'bijou' 1970's mid terraced two bed house in the suburbs of the once bustling railway town of Swindon in Wiltshire, and on towards the railway station in the town centre.
Swindon is an interesting yet often characterless town. The die hard locals are extremely patriotic about the town yet are very welcoming of new comers. I have often joked over the years that Swindon is not a great town but instead is an ordinary town situated in a great location. However, when I dig deeper I discover that Swindon is actually completely the opposite. It is awash with deep and fascinating histories that go as far back as Saxon times when it was a mere settlement right up to being the resting place of Ian Flemming, the author of the James Bond books. And that is without even mentioning the almost endless list of celebrities that have an association with the town, or the rather entertaining "Magic Roundabout" that is the butt of many jokes from passing visitors.
Swindon is situated in a defensible position on top of a limestone hill at a crossroads between two Roman roads. It is referred to in the Domesday book as Suindune, believed to be derived from the Anglo Saxon words "swine" and "dun" meaning "pig hill". The towns wealth came from the quarrying of local portland stone, the market and the agricultural trades - corn merchants, leatherworkers, millers and brewers as well as the widespread but less legitimate trading of smuggling. Swindon was also a distribution centre for the brandies, tobacco and lace run ashore in the secret coves of the south coast, but destined for the midland counties. A honeycomb of tunnels and cellars lay beneath the elegant houses, humble cottages and busy coaching inns of eighteenth century Swindon. However, long gone now are the ducking stool and stocks of mill pond and the gallows that used to haunt the crest of Kingshill in the Old Town area.
The Industrial revolution was responsible for an acceleration of Swindon's growth, with the construction of the Wiltshire and Berkshire Canal acting as the catalyst. This was soon superseded by the arrival of Isombard Kingdom Brunel, who set up the local railway repair works for the magnificent steam locomotives that ran along the famous GWR line between London and Bristol. The ticket office for the railway station once stood pride of place in Old Town, with a short horse and cart ride down the hill to catch the train. The ticket office is no longer, instead stands the ivy clad Goddard Arms Hotel on the edge of a busy road that connects Old town with New Town. My childhood memories are full of the sound of the hooter that used to bellow across the town twice daily like a fog horn, acting as an alarm clock in the mornings and a reminder that our dad would be arriving home shortly in the evenings.
After an uncomfortable few minutes of silence in the Taxi, the usual pleasantries begin to pass between the driver and myself. "What weather we are having for the time of year?", "How is the taxi trade lately?" and "Where are you heading today?". On arriving at the railway station, I pay the taxi driver for achieving his goal of getting me there on time and in one piece. As always, the cost of the journey is too close to ten pounds for me to count out loose change with a small a tip on the side, but far enough away for me to feel slightly uncomfortable in passing over a ten pound note and saying "Keep the change". None the less, each time I end up leaning forward, handing over a whole crisp ten pound banknote, wishing the taxi driver a successful day and climbing out onto the the curb of the street. On some occasions I am sure I have caught the Queen's glance looking up at me from the bank note, smirking at my weakness as my hand finally lets go of my hard earned cash.
I make my way through the sliding station doors and into the long tunnel. A security attendant leans up against the wall reading the morning's newspaper. A number of commuters queue at the cash machine being mindful not to invade the invisible boundary of each others' personal space. A business woman in a ruffled suit stands in the middle of the tunnel entrance glancing from the screen displaying the train arrival times to her watch and back again. She is exasperated by the word "delayed " flashing next to her train time slot and is clearly in hope that if she looks at the timetable often enough, the "delayed" message will magically transform into "on time".
My fingers fumble in my worn black leather wallet as I search for the outward bound train ticket. I slide the yellow and orange striped ticket into the grey slot of the security turnstile before wandering down the tunnel, up the stairway on the left and into the waiting room. Once the pride of the British railways with the first ever railway station refreshment room, divided according to class, Swindon's waiting room is now restricted to a few plastic chairs, round tables and a convenience 'beverage and food' kiosk at the end of the room.
Stood on the platform with a cardboard cup of piping hot tea warming my hand, my normal 'London Trip' routine continues as I steal a customary glance up to the station clock that hangs suspended from the platform rafters. Long gone is the over sized round white faced analogue clock with two elegant hands surrounded by large black roman numerals, instead now hangs a characterless digital display. How long is it before the train arrives? Is there enough time for me to sit down or should I remain standing? Yet more of those insignificant "first world" dilemmas fleet through my mind. I look along the platform to observe other people, watching them standing motionless and expressionless waiting for their train to arrive. I take time to imagine what each of them are thinking? Wondering what their day has in wait for them? Wondering what is going on in their lives? The stale silence engulfing the platform is eventually broken by the muffled sound of a female voice over the tannoy announcing the arrival of the train.
The doors of the train clunk and swing open as the train carriage stops in front of me. I allow myself a sly grin as I let several passengers alight the train before I climb on. The thought of them spending the day in Swindon whilst I know I am going to be spending the day in London fills me with a rather warm feeling of satisfaction. Not in a harsh horrid way but simply in the way that I am escaping the rat race for a few hours and allowing myself a little bit of well deserved indulgence whilst others have to go to work. I make my way to my seat, trying not to spill the still piping hot tea, and get comfortable for the hour long journey to the the city.
The 09.05 train from Swindon to London is always full. A middle aged mother is sitting opposite me with her mobile phone appearing to be glued to her ear as she explains the intimate details of a recent operation to a friend on the other end completely unaware that, because of the rather loud tone of her voice, she is also explaining the gory event to the rest of the carriage. I start going through the list of my top ten favourite travel locations in my head, in attempt to block out the detailed graphic description of her scars. By the end of her telephone conversation I fear that I am going to know her rather well, even though we have never actually met. The extremely rotund gentleman sat next to me is clearly enjoying his morning baguette loaded with bacon, lettuce, tomato and cheese, with a side of salt'n'vinegar crisps and a doughnut, all being wash down with a can of coca cola. The intensity of the crunching, munching, belching and burping is exaggerated by the fact that I can't escape. It took him several minutes to squeeze himself between the table and the chair and to finally sit down, so I am in no hurry to ask him to stand up again to let me move. A rather pungent aroma of bodily odour is becoming rather noticeable. It isn't a particularly warm day so I begin to wonder whether he has bothered to wash this morning. I turn towards the window, my one salvation for the journey, and watch the world whiz by whilst supping on my now cooled tea, savouring every mouthful and permanently holding the cup close to my mouth providing the double benefit of refreshment and a filter from the lingering stench of bodily odours that grows more intense as the minutes tick by. Oh, the joys of an ordinary journey to London on the train.
The first indication of the train approaching London's Paddington station is the sudden shift in scenery. No longer are there sweeping fields, quaint thatched cottages, rivers and canals, woodlands and hills. Now sweeping over the horizon is a new dawn of high rise flats with washing lines full of clothes hanging over the balconies. Here come the graffiti filled walls, the large warehouses and office blocks. The terraced houses that line the sides of the railway track are so close that, even with just a mere glance, I can see into the world of their inhabitants like peering through the bars of a cage at a zoo. An uncomfortable feeling of voyeurism overcomes me, so I divert my gaze to further down the track. Neon signs and billboards fill the skyline, over sized letters engulf the sides of buildings like ivy creeping up a tree, as companies cease every opportunity to push their brand onto the unsuspecting commuter.
The journey in and around London continues soon...............................

"the truth will set you free" ah the famous line. & its true. never would've thought that all those damn movies or weird shows actually had its purpose in life. Believe me; things aren't as they seem or how they are portrayed. So why listen to others when you can do your own thing and find out by yourself? Think for yourself. You are living your life, not anybody else. Be Proud of who you are.
Mistakes, Problems, Crisis's, Issues, & or Dramas are just the little things in life. The big thing in life is YOU. yeah. we may have relationship problems, friend issues, a fashion crisis, or "that girl was talking shiit" drama. but don't sweat it. it comes and goes. its a dent (or puka) in the road. all it needs is a little patience & guidance to be patched up.
"live life to the fullest". listen to what your heart says, not your head. 'cause if your heart is saying that you miss him/her but your head is saying that your not. who hurts the most? A lesson in life: Think before you act. no matter how long it takes you to realize the answer, if it is meant to be then they will be waiting. Don't be sad that its over, be glad that it happened & that you were able to learn from what went wrong and that you can do better in the future.
Love, Success, Faith, Happiness, & Truth are all earned in time. they are necessities that help us figure out who we are and what we need to fulfill our life & our existence.
love; [takes our patience] success; [takes our strengths & goals] faith; [takes our inner being] happiness; [takes our fears & weaknesses] truth; [takes everything & anything we got whether we want to give it or not].

Hollywood takes the spotlight itself on Sunday for the 84th annual Academy Awards, the world's most prominent celebration of film.
Final preparations for Tinseltown's biggest night have progressed throughout the weekend at the Hollywood & Highland Center (formerly known as the Kodak Theatre) in Los Angeles.
Outside, the red carpet has been uncovered by a team of workers on Saturday, while international media crews staked out their locations. Inside, jeans-clad stars including Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep took part in rehearsals. Other presenters will include Tom Cruise, Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie and Michael Douglas.
Show producers Brian Grazer and Don Mischer have revealed that comedy will play a significant part of Sunday night's broadcast, which will see the return of Billy Crystal, a perennial favourite Oscar host.

According to Grazer, Crystal will revive two of his traditional Oscar trademarks: a best-picture nominees sequence where the comedian appears in scenes from each film and a musical tribute to the finalists.
Funny moments are also expected when the likes of Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, Tina Fey and the cast of the blockbuster comedy Bridesmaids take the stage.
Before the show, Sacha Baron Cohen is expected to make a splash after the Hugo co-star vowed to walk the red carpet in character as a faux, Middle Eastern despot — a stunt for his upcoming film The Dictator that the British comedian and actor previously used for films such as Borat and Bruno.
Crystal is emceeing the awards for a ninth time, deciding to step in with Grazer and Mischer in late 2011 after the exit of original show producer Brett Ratner and host Eddie Murphy.
Martin Scorsese's 3D children's tale Hugo and the black-and-white silent film homage The Artist, which as dominated the film awards season, are the top contenders heading into Sunday's gala, with 11 and 10 nominations, respectively.
Another film favoured to emerge with some Oscar hardware is Alexander Payne's Hawaii-set family drama The Descendants.
Streep's portrayal of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady and Viola Davis's turn as a determined black maid in the civil rights-era tale The Help are the frontrunners for the best actress trophy.
The best actor race seems to be a contest between The Artist's Jean Dujardin and George Clooney for The Descendants.
After winning supporting actor honours at a number of other award shows, Canadian acting icon Christopher Plummer is widely anticipated to win the corresponding Oscar as well for his work in Beginners.
Other Canadians vying for an Academy Award include:
Quebec film Monsieur Lazhar, a foreign-language film nominee.
Polish-Canadian co-production In Darkness, also up for best foreign language film
Animated short film Dimanche/Sunday, a National Film Board production.
Animated short film Wild Life, another NFB nominee.
Howard Shore, original score finalist for Hugo
Sound mixing contender David Giammarco for Moneyball.
The 84th annual Academy Awards air live from Los Angeles Sunday night beginning at 8:30 p.m. ET.
Oscars 2012: Who Should Win Best Supporting Actor?
Hard to believe, but with so many notable roles under their belts over the past several years, Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominees Kenneth Branagh, Nick Nolte, Christopher Plummer and Max Von Sydow have never grabbed the gold.
That is likely to change Sunday night – for one of them. Or, in an upset, possibly for the much-younger Jonah Hill.
And while the smart money is on either Oscar-less octogenarian Christopher Plummer, for his Screen Actors Guild-winning turn as a father who comes out sexually late in life in The Beginners, or Max Von Sydow, as a contemporary man who still suffers the effects of WWII in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, no nominee can be counted out in this race.
Nolte has rarely been so critically praised as he has been for Warrior, in which he plays a recovering alcoholic father of an ex-Marine, while Branagh has successfully channeled the most acclaimed actor of the 20th century, Laurence Olivier, as he endured work with the self-doubting Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams) in My Week with Marilyn.
As for Hill, he holds his own as the nerdy but knowing numbers guy in the real-life sports drama Moneyball, opposite Brad Pitt.
May the best man win – only, who is that?

Shamil Atakhanov candidacy as interior minister approved
By Asker Sultanov
BISHKEK – The Kyrgyz parliamentary Committee on Rule of Law, Law and Order and the Fight against Crime November 6 approved the candidacy of Shamil Atakhanov as interior minister, according to the parliamentary press office.
Atakhanov, the former chairman of the State National Security Committee (GKNB), was interviewed before the committee as part of the approval process. He answered deputies' questions, described the GKNB's work under his leadership and explained what he would do as interior minister.
One of his focal points is to get people to trust the police more, he said. To do that, law enforcement agencies should be transparent and local police inspectors should do more work with the public, Atakhanov said, adding he also planned to reform the Interior Ministry (MVD) Academy and to install video cameras along highways and the streets of major cities.
He also expressed his intention of raising police discipline and reducing corruption in the MVD. As part of his interest in transparency, he said he would create an open registry of citizen remarks so that the public could see how the MVD handled its complaints.
Parliament is expected to approve and confirm his position within the next few days, the press office said.
Atakhanov replaces Zarylbek Rysaliyev, who resigned in October.

Asking Price - $5,500 OBO
Mileage - 177,350
Location - Houston, Tx
For sale is a 1998 Toyota Tacoma SR5/TRD 4x4 with manual transmission. I am selling this truck because of an expanding family, the baby seat just will not comfortably fit in the back. I bought this truck in 2006 and it has never let me down, in fact I am in awe of how well this truck has met my needs. In the time I have owned this truck is has only been offroading maybe 10 times, the majority of the time it has been on city streets and highways. I do use the 4x4 occasionally just to make sure everything is working.
If you are looking for a pristine truck then this is not the one for you. If however you are looking for a strong taco that runs great, will last for quite a long time, and will tackle just about anything you can throw at it then keep reading.
Frame Rust – I bought this truck from previous owner in New Orleans, the guy had moved from Colorado. I cannot see significant rust on the frame of this truck, if truck had rust I'd be over getting top dollar buy back rather than going through the hassle of selling.
Accidents – Previous owner was involved in accident (shows up on carfax). During the time I've owned this truck there has only been one, the truck was hit (truck was parked) as someone was backing out of their driveway. Collision was low speed but just so happens the truck was hit in a bad spot due to the huge dent it created. This dent is only cosmetic, the passenger door closes fine and there are no leaks, it just looks terrible.
General Condition – This truck is used and is being sold as such. There are spots and stains on the interior upholstery. The driver seat is torn on the side by the door. There are chips in the paint as well as places where the paint has been worn down by a camper top and a bug deflector. It looks as though there is some sort of protective coating on the bottom 8 inches of the body between the front and rear wheels.
Maintenance – Since acquiring this truck I have done all of my own work. Oil has been changed regularly, brakes bled, coolant flushed (switched to green coolant due to problems sourcing red Toyota coolant). I replaced the timing belt, waterpump, thermostat, upper and lower radiator hoses, and all three accessory belts in January 2012. Timing belt was a Gates belt. Cleaned the throttle body and IAC valve as well as changed the plugs in March 2012. Drum brakes changed out in May 2013.
Required Work – I have a sneaking suspicion the Valve Cover Gasket will need to be replaced in the future. The driver side of the engine has oil on it but it is also the side of the engine with the oil fill, can't say I've ever gotten a whole quart in with a little spillage. The shocks are nearing the end of their life as well, they are not the TRD bilsteins but some autoparts store bought ones.
Tires - Bought in 2009 and have 60 - 70% tread left. Spare tire still has never touched the ground.
Stereo – Alpine deck with Kenwood equalizer. Truck is wired for 2 amps, one for front speakers as well as one for subs. When I bought the truck there was a subwoofer box in the back with 2 10" subs but it took up the majority of the back seat so I removed. The amp for the front speakers is still there, the subs and sub amp are gone but all wiring is still there.
Deck Plate Mod – Installed 4" deck plate in air intake to allow for a little easier breathing, makes a great sound accelerating to get on hwy.
Air Filter – AFe re-usable filter.
Winch Mount – (I have a receiver with 2" ball that can bolt to winch mount for maneuvering trailers in tight spots).
Synthetic Gear Oil in Transmission and Rear Differential – (I could not access/open front diff. fill and decided to leave it) – I believe it was Amsoil but not 100% sure on brand, will include oil I bought and did not use.
Lift Kit – Truck was lifted by previous owner, I removed the spacers from the front as I like the nose down look. I think I may have lost the spacers I removed, but if I can put my hands on them they will be included.
Towing Hitch – Curt Class III receiver with 4 flat and 7 round connector, not wired from brake controller but wires are there.
Final Tidbits:
Truck has electronic rear differential locker (e-locker)
Truck does NOT have ABS
Toyota keyless entry installed but does not work.
Truck is registered in Louisiana and registration is good until 2016.

Letter to editor from Alton Aimar: Is this monster really killed and dead?
Letter to editor from Alton Aimar
Is this monster really killed and dead?
I read with interest all that you have published regarding the proposed re-zoning and subsequent development to follow and it has all been enlightening and the The Beaufort Tribune's position has been very clear until today.
Can I ask why your position has changed? I have seen nothing to date to indicate a change in the direction that this train wreck is headed.
Granted, the mayor has slowed the train down, but I have not seen nor heard anything that would allow me to believe that the council and mayor will not bring this up again, possibly during the summer months when folks are on vacation, summering in their homes up north or in the mountains.
I quote The Beaufort Tribune yesterday: "The Beaufort Tribune will delve into the answer to that question soon enough, but for today it's enough to note that Billy Keyserling, Donnie Beer and the other three members of council have the opportunity at their meeting this afternoon to kill this monster once and for all."
This morning the Tribune had this to say; "With these three announcements at the opening of last evening's public work session at city hall, a majority of the members of city council stated to the assembled concerned citizenry that the Navarro/Chaffin/Verity proposal is essentially dead."
There is a vast ocean of difference between "killing the monster once and for all" vs. "the proposal is essentially dead."
Would you please share with your reading audience the about face that The Beaufort Tribune has taken on its editorial page? Did the public miss something in translation?
I ask because we all know how this council has behaved in the past–start a discussion, get the heat on the table, delay, delay, delay, until the opportune time comes along to vote it in.
So I ask why do you see this any differently? A call of the question and a vote to not re-zone would have been "killing the monster", a delay is not "essentially dead".
Alton Aimar
Beaufort SC
Editor's reply:
With apologies for the mixed metaphors of monsters and trains, I must point out that last evening's council work session, at which members of the public including your venerable editor asked questions and made comments, was not a regular council meeting. Therefore it was not possible for council members to make a motion, second it, and call for the question.
Further, after the work session council did hold a regular meeting but the re-zoning queston was not on the agenda so it was also not possible for council members to bring it to a vote then.
What a majority of council members did do last evening was to make clear that they understand the will of the voters and are not about to re-zone that property but instead must turn their attention to other solutions to the city's budgetary and economic growth challenges.
Was the monster slain by vote? No, but it was essentially rendered dead by the clear public statements of Billy Keyserling, Mike Sutton and George O'Kelley. Donnie Beer sat silent but, one might assume from years of following, that she was sufficiently swayed by Billy K's about face to support this type of death by delay.
Mike McFee was not at the session so we don't know what his current position is. Since he is a member of the Redevelopment Board we must think he would support the position of Mr. Verity, that board's chairman.
We did not report in our editorial this morning, but we do report now, that Mr. Verity was quite meek at the session. He no longer appears to be fired up for this proposal, perhaps because he now understands that folks in Beaufort are not going to allow our fair town to go the way of Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Mount Pleasant, or scores of other once lovely coastal towns now destroyed by chock-a-block hotels, condos, apartments, shops and offices along their formerly open-space downtown waterfronts.
How are we going to make sure Billy K, Donnie B and the others don't sneak something on us this summer or later? It's called eternal vigilance, which we are sure Mr. Aimar and a host of other Beaufort citizens, now in a high state of alert, are going to enforce by propounding the Civic Green alternative, attending every city meeting, alerting the Tribune and other news organizations of any shenanigans, making sure qualified folks run against certain council members, and turning out the vote.

I don't really know how to phrase this question,
but I was just wondering,
Are there any Atheist that like to listen to musicians like Matisyahu?
You know, artists with Religious lyrics?
I really LOVE Matisyahu.
I know he raps and sings about God and stuff.
but his words are meaningful.
And even though they are inspired by a God that I don't believe exists.
I still feel the sincerity in his words.
And that is why I like listening to him.
There's also a song called "Burn Out Brighter" by the band Anberlin,
whose band members are Christians and the song to me has a strong Christian message.
but i still enjoy it.
and a Christian song by the Christian band The David Crowder Band called Make A Joyful Noise.
I heard it when I was in High School, before I became an Atheist, and I still love it to this day.
So is there anybody else that likes to listen to music like this?
Not strictly Christian music, but music that is influenced by Religion, like Matisyahu?
I was just curious because I could just imagine some Christians going "You listen to Matisyahu (or any other religious musician)? But aren't you an Atheist?"
I just think it shows an open-mindedness for someone that is an Atheist to enjoy that type of music.
I mean, I don't think that I would listen to straight Christian songs that actually say GOD IS AWESOME and I LOVE JESUS.
And that is why I love Matisyahu.
I don't mind religious lyrics in many cases. Religion is a part of many cultures and many people's roots, so it seems reasonable.
Samuel Beam (Iron & Wine) said the following in an interview (link):
I'm not a religious person, but definitely, I grew up religious and grew up in a very religious place. The way that it translates now into the songs is more of my interest in the way the country is and the people I've met and the places that I've been. I think it's a pretty important issue, a pretty important part of our culture; it's hard for me to write about kinds of people or kinds of places without dealing with it, but I'm not a religious person.
He's not an atheist either, but that doesn't really matter to me one way or the other. The point is just that his music speaks to personal experience and observation. Religion happens to be a part of that in some way, shape and form. I think that's true of many artists. They aren't proselytizing; they are just communicating an idea or an experience. For instance, many artists make reference to God largely as a source of positivity in their lives. Even if I don't believe in their God, that doesn't mean I doubt the positivity they experience. A number of the hip hop artists I like refer to God, or Heaven in just such a way. I know, in most cases, it's not metaphorical, but when I try to relate to the lyrics, I take the terms symbolically. I may not always share the sentiments of the artist, but I do try to relate to the underlying message.
I wrote about something similar to this. My favorite composer was a devout Lutheran: JS Bach. Everything he wrote was a tribute to his god. I respect his music just the same, and hold a lot of it close to my heart. Music isn't meant to be talked about. It's meant to be felt, and if "religious" music clicks with you, that's totally fine. One of my favorite pieces is actually a Requiem, meant to be played at a religious funeral.
So enjoy whatever you want, and don't worry about the meaning it might hold to others. Concentrate on the meaning it has to you. :)

In the early twelfth century an Italian architect made a mistake. He built a tower on a piece of unstable soil. It was probably not totally his fault – those commissioning the bell tower wanted it to be close to the cathedral, and building methods back then were not quite what they are now. Still, historical record leaves us unsure exactly who was responsible for the mistake, which saw the bell tower of Pisa begin to lean only a few years after its lower levels were built.
no one deemed it necessary to pull it down and start again somewhere
more stable, they just left it for a while and went off to war, leaving
the remainder of the building project to become someone else's' problem
years later. Sure enough, peace reigned again and about a century later a
confident set of builders added a few extra bricks on the subsiding
side to straighten the tower as it grew upwards. Not entirely
successfully but it didn't fall over which was a good result.

Sector Snap: Industrials
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ Industrial companies are better positioned today than they were during the recession and should be able to weather an economic downturn without posting a steep drop in profits, Oppenheimer said in a research note Tuesday.
Analyst Christopher Wiggins said that in contrast to 2008, companies now have lower inventories, improved cost structures, stronger balance sheets and better access to cash.
"It is our opinion that a re-do of the most recent recession is unlikely," Wiggins wrote. "We believe companies remain in better shape versus the prior downturn, which if anything, should support more resilient earnings versus the deep cuts to industrials in late 2008."
The latest economic data, released Tuesday, appears to support that case.
Factory output increased 0.6 percent last month, according to the Federal Reserve. That's the biggest increase since the March 11 earthquake in Japan, which disrupted supply chains and limited output by some U.S. auto plants. The auto industry accounted for nearly all of the increase. Motor vehicles and parts jumped 5.2 percent. Excluding that category, factory output grew only 0.2 percent. Overall industrial production jumped 0.9 percent â¿¿ the biggest increase this year. Unusually hot weather in July drove demand for energy generated by utilities. Mining output also increased. The analyst said his top long-term picks in the sector are Idex Corp., which makes the Jaws of Life rescue equipment and other products, and Danaher Corp., which makes medical and industrial instruments. Both companies offer the best track records when it comes to tough economies and come with the least amount of risk, he said. Wiggins also pointed to ESCO Technologies Inc., an engineered products supplier, and Tetra Tech Inc., an engineering and construction consultant for water and energy projects, as strong players in the sector. The shares of both companies have probably taken bigger hits to their shares than is warranted, Wiggins said, because of worries about a possible decline in public and municipal spending.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Twigs & Trees with Rhonda: The World of the U.S. Census
With all the time we spend in the census records, you would think that we would know all there is to know about the census. When they are taken, what they ask, what problems we may find in using them and so forth. I have found though, even from my own experience, that I must often turn to published guides about the census to make sure that I not only am using them correctly, but that I am also getting the most information possible from the census page. |
The Census Primer
The census in the United States has been taken every ten years since 1790. The last census enumeration taken was the 2000, most of which was a matter of filling out a form that was sent to us in the mail. Among genealogical circles there was much talk as we learned there were in fact two different forms, the short form and the long form. As with every record that genealogists discuss there was some concern as to the usefulness of this record for the generations that come who looking to research their family history. Of course the government is not taking the census to keep genealogists happy, but instead uses it to determine representation at the federal level among other things.
The exact date of the census has changed over the years as have the number of questions and the information collected. Some years have specialized non-population schedules that may also offer additional insight into the life of your ancestor.
While there was a census taken every ten years they have not all survived or are not all available. The most recently released census is the 1930, released April 1, 2002, amid much publicity as genealogists all over the country eagerly awaited access. For some it was a chance to see themselves enumerated and for others it was a chance to find parents of grandparents for the first time. For me, it was a chance to find my maternal grandparents living together as man and wife. The reason for the delay with the release of the census is that there is a 72-year privacy act designed to protect the information on living individuals. Other countries go further, holding back their census records for 100 years, as does the United Kingdom.
You'll find that you'll be unable to access the majority of the 1890 census. It was almost completely destroyed by fire, though you will find that the fragments that did survive are available on Genealogy.com and have been indexed. There is also a veteran's schedule for 1890 that may prove useful as it enumerates those soldiers or widows of soldiers of the Civil War. Unfortunately, this alternative schedule has not been digitized or indexed yet, so you will not find it online, except perhaps in the case of some individual county endeavors
The earliest censuses are often considered useless because they enumerated only the head of household by name and all others were tallied by sex and age. While it does make it more difficult to prove a family connection, they may prove useful when the surname is not too common and you have identified more than one child in the household. This is because it is easier to rule out families if you have multiple ages to compare to the listing. In 1850 the census began to enumerate everyone in the household, but it would not be until 1880 when the relationships of those individuals would be enumerated as well. Of course, this does not stop us from assuming that the individuals enumerated together in the 1850 to 1870 censuses are families and that the woman listed after the head of the household is his wife, and the children listed are his children. In most cases we will find this to be true, but it is important when working in the 1850 to 1870 census to keep an open mind.
In the past, most researchers accessed census records by visiting a library and viewing those records on microfilm. Today most of us use the digitized versions of the census pages and online indexes. In some cases the online indexes are more useful than what was available to us in either books or on microfilm. In other cases, spelling variations particularly, it requires us to be more creative in our searches. Because the computer usually looks only for the one spelling that we have entered, it is possible to miss your ancestor. Remember to be creative with variant spellings when using the online indexes.
History of the Census Questions
As it came closer to the date when the 1930 census would be released in 2002, I found myself digging into 200 Years of US Census Taking: Population and Housing Questions, 1790-2000, published by the federal government. I looked at what the questions were for the 1930 and how they differed from the 1920 census. Two columns that caught my attention were the ones devoted to the ownership of a radio and whether or not the individuals were unemployed the day before the official census date, and if so, the number of the unemployment schedule where this individual was list. While I was familiar with farm schedules in other censuses, I was surprised by the unemployment schedule. At first I didn't make the connection but then it dawned on me, the 1930 census was the first federal census taken after the Stock Market crash of 1929. I was reminded how the census offers clues to history.
As mentioned earlier, the official date of the census has changed over the years. In 1910, the date was moved from June 1 to April 15. This change was a result of the Census Bureau, which felt that the enumerators would find more people at home on April 15 than on June 1, since more people seemed to be away during the summer months. In 1920, the change was made to January 1, though actual canvassing was not begun until January 2. This change to the first of January was done at the request of the Department of Agriculture to make the collection of the agricultural census easier the previous years farming had been completed and the 1920 year's farming had not yet begun.
When it comes to the history of the census, an excellent resource can be found in Measuring America: The Decennial Censuses From 1790 to 2000. Available as a PDF file, this 149 page document details the questions asked in each census and gives a lot of background into the instructions given to the marshals and the enumerators for each year's census. There is also information about the many special schedules that the enumerators recorded in addition to the population schedule that genealogists use most frequently and which has now been digitized and made available online.
The various specialized enumerations, when still available, may be found on microfilm. Many of those that do exist are available from the Family History Library. Of those that aren't, you will want to check the state historical society and archives, as well as specialized libraries. For some help with this, the chart in Val D. Greenwood's The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy offers information as to where to find some of the specialized censuses discussed below.
Specialized Censuses and Statistical Enumerations
Over the years since the first federal enumeration, there have been special enumerations or gatherings of statistical information to aid the federal government in an understanding of all aspects of the population along with economy and other issues. Genealogists tend to stick with the population schedules because they list the names of those in the household. From these names, we can often identify the next generation back in our research. The specialized enumerations, though, should not be discounted as they may hold pertinent information to your ancestor's way of life.
In addition to the above special schedules which were often taken during more than one census enumeration year, there were two other special censuses that can prove useful to genealogists. The first, the 1885 Interdecennial Census of States and Territories is often confused and referred to as a state census. While many states may have taken their own censuses in 1885, this was a federal census and was funded, at least 50%, by the federal government. The states and territories that took the federal census in 1885 include the states of Colorado, Florida and Nebraska along with the Dakota and New Mexico territories. The other special schedule is the only alternative to the destroyed 1890 census, the 1890 enumeration of Union veteran's or widows offers what little information has survived for this critical year.
Unfortunately, while any given census year may have had some of the above mentioned special schedules, they have not all survived. Mortality schedules, for instance, exist for the years 1850 to 1880, and the slave schedules are found for the 1850 and 1860 censuses.
In Conclusion
There is so much more to the census than the population schedules that we seem so intent on sticking with in our research. I have found the other census records extremely useful. Using these resources often requires a little bit of extra effort on my part, most notably finding out where I can access them.

BACKGROUND: The transcription/export complex is evolutionarily conserved from yeast to man and is required for coupled transcription elongation and nuclear export of mRNAs. FMIP(Fms interacting protein) is a member of the THO (suppressors of the transcriptional defects of hpr1delta by overexpression) complex which is a subcomplex of the transcription/export complex. THO complex (THOC) components are not essential for bulk poly (A)+ RNA export in higher eukaryotes, but for the nuclear export of subset of mRNAs, however, their exact role is still unclear. RESULTS: To study the role of THOC5/Fms interacting protein in vivo, we generated THOC5/Fms interacting protein knockout mice. Since these mice are embryonic lethal, we then generated interferon inducible conditional THOC5/Fms interacting protein knockout mice. After three poly injections all of the mice died within 14 days. No pathological alterations, however, were observed in liver, kidney or heart. Thus we considered the hematopoietic system and found that seven days after poly injection, the number of blood cells in peripheral blood decreased drastically. Investigation of bone marrow cells showed that these became apoptotic within seven days after poly injection. Committed myeloid progenitor cells and cells with long term reconstituting potential were lost from bone marrow within four days after poly injection. Furthermore, infusion of normal bone marrow cells rescued mice from death induced by loss of THOC5/Fms interacting protein. CONCLUSION: THOC5/Fms interacting protein is an essential element in the maintenance of hematopoiesis. Furthermore, mechanistically depletion of THOC5/Fms interacting protein causes the down-regulation of its direct interacting partner, THOC1 which may contribute to altered THO complex function and cell death.

Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai
Editor's Pick
Chiang Mai
Thailand 50180
Tel: 66 53 298 181
Concierge.com's insider take:
After more than a decade, this ornate gem still sparkles as Chiang Mai's most elegant resort. The serene villas, set amid 20 acres of teak forest and rice fields, make the Four Seasons feel more like a self-contained village than a hotel. The 64 spacious pavilion rooms (750 square feet) and 16 residences (starting at 3,767 square feet) are cloaked in teakwood and adorned with Thai art. Each pavilion has its own outdoor sala (a Thai-style gazebo); the most distant, no. 16, has the best views, especially from the two top-floor units. A free shuttle makes five daily runs to the Night Bazaar, but there's plenty to do on-site or in the surrounding countryside. Classes at the Cooking School, set in an open-air pavilion, include early-morning market excursions; fruit- and vegetable-carving instruction; and tutorials in spicy salads, soups and noodles, and Thai curries. Or greet the sunrise at a yoga barn overlooking a checkerboard of rice paddies, then soak in a flower-filled alfresco tub at the spa. The staff can also arrange private tours of an elephant camp or a leisurely bamboo-raft trip. The more ambitious can grab a mountain bike for a spin through the back roads to nearby Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, known for its numerous cascades. Or simply stake out a lounge chair beside the pair of shimmering infinity pools, breaking only for a meal at Sala Mae Rim, the on-site restaurant.

Mable Jenson
- Control the direction of her web through its shadow, as well like increasing or decreasing its speed.
- Create a barrier of shadows, the more shadows she is around in, the stronger it is.
- Hide/Rest/Live inside people's shadows. (more effective if the person she's doing this to is bonded with her)
-Derive or create weapons out of Shadows (though its resistance will mostly rely on what shadow she creates it from. Ex. If she creates a spear out of a tree shadow, it'll be very vulnerable to hard surfaces and/or fire)
✚Positive traits:
✖Negative Traits:
〓 Note from Author: Aude's personality has changed ever since she became confined by devil. Despite having these traits mentioned above, Aude is more paranoid now. Constantly terrified by humans and any type of forceful method of obedience. Being alone to deal with this matter only takes more of a toll on her, which will lead to being very close and protective of whoever she becomes close to. (Even more so if this person she is close with is her bonded partner.)
Born in France, she was the first born of a large family of spiders. She had families all over France and Europe alike- well.. until Humans found ways to exterminate what they considered a ''plague". Running away from this, Aude's parents reached a sanctuary somewhere in the mountains, raising her child as much as possible, teaching her all the knowledge they had, and myths on how some of them wished for a time and place in which humans and demons would get along with one another.
Aude's hope for that same world her parents wished for didnt last much. She often watched how her people were torture by humans, murdered in infinite amounts of ways. As she grew and grew, that hope dissipated, only turning to an immense hatred. To an extent that she changed her whole food cycle, consuming human flesh as a way to protect her loved ones.
Years passed by, from years to centuries, until one day, she began to hear from other demons that alliances between them and humans were actually a real thing. Humored by this, she decided to see for herself, and prove these demons wrong from everything that was happening, because in her mind, the bond between a demon and a human was close to impossible.
But this only became a nightmare as she was captured and confined by some humans.
-She tends to get slightly paranoid when things dont go her way, or when things dont go correct.
-She's still kinda fresh to her human body, so things such as 'Clothes' is not something she's very familiar with, nor knows how it works.. so she could be prancing around in bare with no shame whatsoever.
-She usually persuades animals or humans alike into traps, to eat them of course.
-Despite her interest in a Partner, she's not one to be easily persuaded into one. (Hesitates to do so, Trust-Issues)
-Despite her vocabulary, she has a hard time writing. The only ''pretty'' thing she can write is her name.
-Dont even mention how old she is/looks if you dont want to be eaten.
-She collects odd-looking glass shaped items and would be slightly kleptomaniac about it.
-Her human counterpart mostly consumes fruits and vegetables, while her Demon form consumes human/animal flesh.
-If she gets too frustrated while in her demon form, she could shrink up to the size of a gerbil.(just so she doesnt destroy anything)
Darkness. That was all. Aude didn't have much time to react to what had just happened. She was only going to observe bonded humans, not be captured by some. This was definitely something she wasnt expecting. How was she a threat? All Aude wanted to do was to see how humans and demons got along with one another.. not this.
Remembering everything that happened afterwards was only clouded on her mind. The constant tranquilizers to her body were to blame. Screams and constant rampages only lead to more of this. All because she 'had to calm down'. How? Aude didnt want this. All she wanted was to finally put an end to this whole ordeal between humans and demons. This however, did not help.
Confined to her windowless room laid Aude. She had refused to eat, to speak, only constantly shaking whenever the door to her room was open. As time continued to pass, she began to hide under her bed, wrapped in her own web so she wouldnt be disturbed. Was this a price she had to pay? To be treated like an animal when all she just wanted was to finally get along with a human?

Perhaps brown out was the wrong word to use there - That was my first experience with the "random crash" and I couldn't tell you with any degree of certainty if that's actually what it was. I just know that everything checked good, on a 4 channel plane with a great BEC - It just lost signal and went down. I salvaged everything in the wreck and it flew again for many months without issue.

No beef against Hitec people, just providing my personal info. With regards to telemetry, for some users its good to have the features (and maybe they use it) but I find myself impossible at looking at the tx while flying the model. (so the features are good but not always useful) when the model is on the ground I use other tools to measure what needed to be measured. Maybe the owners of Telemtry system can chime-in on this as to what their experience in actually using it while flying.
Maybe the technology is not ripe or until they produce something that talks to you while flying (a buzzer, a timer, a warning that a certain parameter has been reached) I dont own one so I have little or no knowledge. Telemetry owners your inputs are welcome. |

With the Aurora 9 you can set custom low voltage warnings, and then alerts you with beeps when you reach that threshold.
Hitec is soon releasing an add on module that will talk to you and speak the information to you. While measuring watts, amps, and voltage on the ground is useful it often does not reflect what is experienced in flight. I find it nice to be able to fly till the low voltage threshold rather then use crude estimations each time. I've gone completely to electric, if I was flying nitro I'd find telemetry less useful.

Tile setters are skilled professionals who put together intricate designs and compilations of tiles in buildings, homes and other structures. In the United States, there were approximately 58,700 professional tile setters in 2010, most of which worked for flooring companies or contractors.
Among tiles installed before 1980, most contained some form of asbestos. It was not only floor tiles that were made with asbestos, but ceiling tiles and roof decks as well. When the tile setter would sand, drill, cut, scrape or remove a tile containing asbestos, the particles were often distributed into the air and inhaled. When asbestos fibers enter the lungs, risk of mesothelioma for tile setters increases dramatically.
Risk of Mesothelioma for Tile Setters
Tile setters who installed, worked on or removed floor tiles before 1980 are the most at risk for mesothelioma. Mesothelioma has a long latency period; tile setters who were exposed to asbestos 20, 30 even 40 years ago are just now beginning to experience mesothelioma symptoms.
Many common products used by tile setters contained asbestos. Some of these products include:
- 9 x 9 floor tiles
- 12 x 12 floor tiles
- Sheet linoleum
- Cement
- Mastic
- Glue
- Grout
- Decorative/soundproofing materials
- Patching compounds
- Textured paint
- And more1
Tile setters experiencing symptoms of asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma should be aware of the details of mesothelioma. Learn more about mesothelioma symptoms and what can be done now.

Shreveport man arrested for allegedly killing his older brother
POSTED: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 - 1:15pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 - 1:19pm
BOSSIER CITY, LA (NBC33) — A Shreveport man is behind bars for allegedly shooting and killing his brother.
The Bossier City Police Department arrested Randy Anderson, 23, on Monday, Dec. 3. He's accused of shooting his brother, Timothy Anderson, 41, multiple times. The incident happened over the weekend at a home on Dilg League Drive in Shreveport.
Shortly after the incident Randy Anderson was identified as a suspect. Shreveport officials received a tip that he might be located in Bossier City. The two agencies worked in conjunction and located Anderson in his vehicle located on the 400 block of Mansfield Street. He was taken into custody without incident.
Anderson was arrested and charged with Second-Degree Murder. His bond is set at $250,000.
