Wow. I've read this story for a while now, but I don't believe I've ever wanted a character to die as I now want Andronikos to. I mean, banishing Albrecht von Franken, arguably the wisest and most experienced man in Christendom, just because he doesn't like him for his stupid and childish reasons? Such an unfitting end to the most interesting character after the days of the Gardener. Bah, even if he didn't like Albie, there were a thousand better uses for him than banishing him to Istria. Also, Gottfried probably doesn't even realize just how correct his foretelling truly is.
It was nice seeing some action from Western Europe as well, seems that the Capets are about to return to their scheming ways...not really surprised about the Scottish Komnenids, I believe BT hinted at that in one of the earlier interims.
I'd say Rome will lose much of its Western holdings, but not totally fall.
This cannot be the end of the von Frankens. 20 theoretical internet bucks says we're going to see them again.

Well I for one totally understand Albrecht's exile. Andronikos can't really trust him to allow him to rule freely. And the last thing Andronikos needs is to constantly have a second in command trying to tell him what to do all the time, honestly. He's gone and attempted to consolidate his power, That'd be for naught if he still has his stepdad telling him what to do all the time, and probably embarassing him in front of the army or other important folks by doing so. But to kill him might be a bit too bloodthirsty even for Andronikos, and he doesn't really need to die, and he doesn't have to worry about him trying to start trouble, he's on borrowed time at this point anyways, and even IF he somehow teamed up with his son and tried to rebel, it'd be ridiculous at this point to try that.

Well, even if he DID still manage to have control over some of the state, what would be the purpose of trying to make a move? Albrecht's not going to live long enough to claim the throne, and he certainly wouldn't want Gabriel to win, after all this. And he obviously isn't going to try and give his son the throne.

Perhaps, but I think he's pragmatic enough to realize any efforts are really for naught, and he might as well spend his time just enjoying his last years, rather than wasting them on plots that will most likely be ended halfway through. I'd hope so, anyways, I'd rather him be able to die peacefully, he was a good enough sort really.
I fell behind for a few pages. Glad to have caught back up.
I enjoyed the updates on the Battle between Andronikis and Gabriel, it'll be interesting to see what Gabriel does now. It seems he's being forced to make the choice of either withdrawing from Western Anatolia or marching headlong into the superior loyalist army.
Meanwhile it was quite interesting to see you starting up the next story arch - a Latin coalition could well bring down the Roman Empire that has been sapped by Civil strife.
Also, Woot! Go Scotland!

Join the Red Paradoxians!
Scotland is apparently working nicely to fill the power vacuum left behind by absent French kings... I wonder how long it will be until there is a Scottish king who is charismatic enough to reach out for the remaining English barons, and toss out the French for good.
Oh and VERY NICE with that battle My work productivity yesterday plummeted because there was so much for me to catch on in the story.
Nice updates per usual BT!
Say I was going to ask a request but would it be okay for a future taster update if you got an indepth map of the English counties and colour them in for which sphere they are part of? Such as which counties are under Scotland/France, etc? Just for extra flavour of course. Plus it helps us that are IRL on this Scottish/French border see if we're speaking Gaellic or French.
Also, any chance we could have a review of which hand each Emperor preferred to use? I know its a bit silly but I was looking at which handedness U.S Presidents were and the idea intrigued me.
I was thinking Nikolaios/Manuel/Andronikos/Basil would probably be left handers. Thomas I/Thomas II/Thomas III were probably right handed. Demetrious and Nikephoros most likely ambidexterious.
Ksim3000 - Hey again! Well, I'm not quite sure what hand each emperor would use! I haven't thought about that at all... I might do the county map of England later on either in the 14th century or the start of EU3...
Leviathan07 - Hahaha! Well, the next update won't be done for a bit, so hopefully your work productivity can go up..... It'd require a charismatic king matched with a an uncharismatic or weak French counterpart... or a long series of campaigns.
Or France getting broken by someone else.
Tommy4ever - Latin Europe has a great deal of power. The problem is getting it mobilized and organized. Drogo Capet tried and failed, as did Pope Innocent II, to an extent. Can Pope Julius do any better?
Kirsch27 - I think that's what Andronikos was thinking--Albrecht is in his late 60s, his years are clearly creeping up on him, he's been discredited and his allies have abandoned him. He's counting that in Istria he can't rebuild his presence enough to be a threat. Some part of Andie I think can't bring himself to kill his stepfather--if only because Albrecht did teach him most of what he knows... however, we'll have to see if that's the smart decision, because...
Frozenwall - Gottfried is still there, and evidently, Gottfried has some skills of his own (he has survived being dangled in front of the Arpads with a "Come get me" sign symbolically above his head). Even if Albrecht passes peacefully, Gottfried could be a threat. And if Gottfried and Albrecht unite, and Albrecht has enough years left, things could get ugly.
Qorten - The empire is certainly more shaky and perilous than it looks. Gabriel has been pushed back (for now), but in an empire this large, rebellion and discontent is always smoldering somewhere. Years of war (Since Basil's death in 1189, the empire has been at war from 1191-1192, 1193-1197, 1201-1220, 1229-1240, 1242-1247, and 1258-present... that's roughly 25 years of peace without at least one, if not multiple campaigns, in the past 74 years..) have made a huge dent in imperial finances, and we'll shortly see the lengths Andronikos will have to go to even have a chance to raise the funds he wants for his grand projects...
Nikolai - Albrecht is old, but nothing I've described so far mentions ill health... he could reasonably be seen again, even if the hourglass is against him...
asd21593 - The West has been pacified for now, but as we've seen, Spain and Italy both have so far been cesspools of dissent and revolt against the Komnenids. Its safe to say that even if Andronikos can keep them down, it'll take a great deal of effort, and as was said, someone along the line will fail to keep them in line...
vadermath - Considering all Albrecht gave to the Empire, it is an unjust end. Andronikos wants the spotlight for himself, and no one else--he has grand designs, but he's young, and all sorts of things can and probably will go wrong. If the two of them had worked together, the Komnenid Empire likely would have survived till the end of the story, it's safe to say. The Empire's at a crossroads, where it needs another Nikolaios, prepared to sacrifice themselves to create a legacy. Andronikos is decidedly NOT a Nikolaios...
Enewald - Not much mapwise has changed since the last dynatoi map... though start of next chapter a new one will be forthcoming...
RGB - Gottfried doesn't know everything, but his prediction about things eventually falling apart isn't that sage a prediction. Neither is the prediction that a slew of stresses could strike at once. It's called being a pessimist... about like saying "someday, it's going to rain..."
Nehekara -A sense of bitterness? Yes. Perspective? Perhaps--he at least realizes he can't seize everything at once, and that something as grand as gaining at throne takes time and patience...
Zzzzz... - Not yet, and this would be the major roadblock to them taking the throne, even if they had more lands. As it stands, Antemios has gained several parcels of lands, but by land he's still not the greatest of Scottish lords...
Enewald - Yup... there's a myriad of foes at the gates, and sooner or later the gatekeeper will sleep...
4th Dimension - Not a Roman ruler, just a Regent until the majority of the young Dunkeld heir...Duncan likely picked Antemios simply because his Orthodoxy meant he was ineligible to try to steal the throne from under his grandson's nose...
FlyingDutchie - Something definitely stayed Andie's hand. We'll have to see whether it comes back to haunt him or those that follow him on the throne...
Vesimir - Gabriel is down, but definitely not out. The majority of his army escaped, and even if he goes back to Persia, he'll be able to raise a new force, barring a Mongol invasion...
The next update is coming slowly... couple pages done only. Still looks like a probably Friday posting date!

True, but I doubt we'll be seeing a Nikolaios any time soon, if ever. I mean, the more powerful the Komnenid royal family gets (and right now that power is at ridiculous heights, being the most powerful and numerous dynasty in Europe), the more arrogant, proud, and self-certain its members (and thus Emperors) get. Who would show more humility, caution and wisdom: A Nikolaios who has a growing, but still relatively endangered Empire on his hands, or an Andronikos who stands at the helm of the most powerful nation on Earth? The early Emperors were raised as children in a much smaller Empire, which still had mighty foes to worry about, instead of internal bickering. Thus they learned more caution and foresight, compared to the later Emperors who, as successful and talented as some of them were, had a much larger amount of arrogance and self-certainty, being raised in a (seemingly) unstoppable and wealthy behemoth of an Empire. Over the last century, the Emperors and the dynatoi have shifted their diplomatic and intrigue focus away from international, and onto internal matters, which has resulted in the numerous internal conflicts (some of which had evolved into civil wars) which have plagued Byzantium these last few decades. So, IMHO, it will require a period of major decadence and weakness for the Empire to finally be graced by another extremely wise Emperor, like the Megaloprepis or Nikolaios of old.
*Shivers* I'm having withdrawls...
And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen.
I distinctly recall threatening you well over a century ago with a spoon if I did not receive updates soon.
I found mah spoon.
Sadly the update is probably going to be delayed--I'd say its about 80% done text wise, no graphics done yet. Now that I have a new graphics card, let's just say it got waylaid by Jim Raynor...
Look for it to be up by Monday or Tuesday at the latest though...

As of Thursday, August 22, 2013

Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA — Brookwood head coach Mark Crews got a chance to ask McEachern quarterback Ty Clemons a question in front of a crowd of high school football supporters on Thursday at the Corky Kell luncheon.
"Ty, you got the message about the start time," Crew quipped. "It's 10:30. You probably don't need to get here until about 9."
The comment drew a nice round of laughter from the 170 people in attendance at the Georgia Dome.
The luncheon was a great opportunity for coaches and players to mingle prior to Saturday's big day of high school football action. All 10 participating head coaches and one player were on hand at the luncheon. "This is what really represents Georgia high school football," North Gwinnett head coach Bob Sphire said. "It just showcases the importance of high school football in Georgia. To be a member and participate, is an honor."
The five-game football feast begins on Saturday with Chattahoochee vs. Kell at 9 a.m. It's the only game that doesn't feature a Gwinnett County school. The day continues with Peachtree Ridge vs. Walton at 11:45 a.m., Grayson vs. Colquitt at 2:30 p.m., North Gwinnett vs. Camden County at 5:30 p.m. and Brookwood vs. McEachern at 8:30 p.m.
All of the games will air live on Georgia Public Broadcasting for the third year in a row and will be available on the radio at 92.9 FM The Game.
"One day, one Dome," said Dave Hunter, the event's co-creator and organizer. "It will be a long day, but a good day."
The kickoff event also recognized the head coaches for the state championships teams last season and this year's Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Super 11, which included Norcross' Lorenzo Carter and Buford's Korie Rogers. Both were selected to the Daily Post's Super Six.
The 22nd annual Corky Kell Classic will once again bring some of the state's best teams together to officially kickoff the high school season.
"It's an honor to play in this game. For us to come here and spend time here, it's exciting for our community," Colquitt County head coach Rush Propst said. "I've played in other classic games in other states, this is really as well done as any of them. It's really good for high school football. It showcases high school football in this state."
The Chattahoochee vs. Kell game is the only rematch from last season. Kell won the game 19-8 and went on to lose to eventual Class AAAAA state champion Gainesville in the state playoffs.
Peachtree Ridge was 4-6 last year and is the only Corky Kell team that didn't reach the playoffs last season. You don't have to remind head coach Mark Fleetwood about that. They'll face a Walton team that is familiar with the Georgia Dome after beating Brookwood in the Corky Kell last year and was state runner-up in 2011.
"It was a rough year, no doubt about it," Fleetwood said. "We've challenged ourselves to change that around. It was very disappointing not to be in the playoffs."
Grayson will face Colquitt County for the third time in three years. The Rams beat the Packers in the 2011 semifinals on the way to winning the state crown. Grayson was the heavy favorite to repeat as state champs last year, but lost in the second round. The Rams return just one starter in running back Aares McCall, but he's confident the team will be stronger this year.
"I think last year, the year after we won the state championship, we were a little complacent," McCall said. "This year I think our team is hungry for a championship. We've been working so much harder in the weight room, conditioning, learning the plays. We are hungry this year."
That quickly got a response from Propst.
"That's not what we want to hear this year," he joked.
North Gwinnett will face Camden County in a matchup of two of the state's most successful programs in recent years. In the last seven years, Camden has won 81 games, while North has 78 victories.
"It's an honor to play in the Dome, especially against Camden which has been the winningest program in Georgia the last eight or 10 years," North Gwinnett quarterback Hayden Sphire said.
Hayden Sphire is the son of head coach Bob Sphire and will be making his first varsity start in the Dome. That prompted the question what it's like to play for your father.
"It's really not that bad," Hayden said to a roar of laughter. "He treats me like every other player on the team, so I don't feel any different than anyone else. It's just my dad. I feel like I have to play better."
The final game of the night is Brookwood against McEachern, the two original members of the Corky Kell Classic. Running back Josh Brown still remembers going to watch Brookwood in the event when he was growing up.
"I've been coming here and watching these games since I was 9 years old. It means a lot to me," Brown said.
Brookwood is 11-10 all-time in the Corky Kell, while McEachern is 9-12.
"You have to be ready to hit the ground running," Crews said. "It's a very important game as far as the start of the season."

NY Daily News-Beware of the naked man on the roof. The one who clambered atop a house in Florida put up such a fight it took the father and son homeowers, five cops — and repeated taserings — to subdue him, St. Augustine police reported. When cops arrived, they found the man wrestling with the homeowners on a porch slickened with urine and broken glass — and showing no signs of giving up. While one of the officers cuffed Jeremiah Haughee, the other ran back to his cruiser for leg shackles. By the time he got back, Haughee had managed to maneuver the handcuffs from behind his back to his front, and was kicking at the cops, police said. At that point, the officers zapped Haughee with a Taser. Haughee toppled over a porch railing and landed hard, but got up and started fighting again — apparently unfazed by the fall. Three more officers arrived and they, too, zapped Haughee and tried to knock him off his feet with knee strikes. Haughee took a bite out of one officer's leg before the other officers got a hood over his head and managed to get the shackles on him. The naked man wasn't tested for drugs because there was no statute requiring him to take such a test.
Crazy people need to get a new act ASAP, because this shit is getting stale really quick. It used to be that people could piss themselves, roll around in a little broken glass and bite a cop and that was just the end of it. Just crazy doing what crazy does. But not anymore. Homeless people on psychedelics just aren't good enough in this day and age. Instead it seems like everyday I wake up and see a different guy's mugshot staring back at me accompanied by some bullshit headline like "Another Bath Salt Zombie Cannibal?" No. The answer is fucking no. What actually happened is another bipolar homeless man freebased some PCP and decided it would make sense to climb on someone's roof and wrestle them naked on their front porch. That's the most logical thought process in the world if you take the shit he must have taken. He didn't bite someone because he was a cannibal, he bit someone because there were Taser prongs lodged in his scrotum and five cops beating the shit out of him. Even if you're not high that's enough to make you go into Tyson mode.
PS- "There was no statute requiring him to take such a test?" I know that doing a drug test in this situation is like getting a scale out to confirm that Adele is actually fat, but maybe it's time to add an exception to the 4th Amendment if you get arrested covered in your own urine and broken glass.

Warnock remaining grounded
Neil Warnock was keen to keep a lid on expectations at QPR after his side's resounding 3-0 victory at Ipswich left them three points clear of the Championship chasing pack.Jamie Mackie made it six goals in as many games following his summer move from Plymouth and Heidar Helguson rounded off the scoring with a third from the penalty spot."Expectations are expectations," said Warnock. "We've never had stability at the club and I was the fifth manager last year."But we've moved on and got good acquisitions since then."We had eight players on loan last year and couldn't get a dressing-room spirit, but the club have supported me by letting me bring my own players in and having a bigger squad."You can see the benefit. We had a lot of flair players last season but we didn't have the bread-and-butter players."

RIMM: Right Idea, Disastrous CEO Pick
Please enjoy this free sample of our premium content featuring Eric Jackson. To get all of Jackson's premium content free for a limited time, please register here.
NEW YORK ( RealMoney) -- Research in Motion (RIMM) took a step in the right direction with the announcement that Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis have stepped down as co-CEOs. But the selection of COO Thorsten Heins to replace them is disastrous.
Perhaps Thorsten has many positives obvious only to the people who work with him that make him an effective manager and allow him to ensure BB10 (RIMM's new operating system due in the fall) will ship on time. But from his public statements so far, there are a number of negatives to consider.
Research in Motion is going nowhere fast with its new CEO pick. |
In his first 12 hours as CEO, it's obvious Heins is a lousy communicator. RIMM's stock went from being up 5% before the introductory call with investors this morning to 2% down by the time the call wrapped up. The shares are down nearly 7% to under $16 in midday trading.
Heins believes RIMM only needs incremental change, not radical change. He's repeated this several times in his first day on the job. That's not what investors want to here. He seems extraordinarily naïve to say that RIMM's problems can be fixed just by spending more on "consumer marketing." His introductory YouTube video to employees and investors was shockingly dull. If there was ever a company that needed an outside CEO to shake the company to its core, it's RIMM. Instead, they've picked a tweaker, someone who loves "process improvement." If Heins is so great at process improvement and internal operations, what has he been doing for the last five years as COO of RIMM? Was he responsible for PlayBook 1.0 shipping without email?Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Marlins Park: The Roof Is Leaking and the Grass Is Dying
The Miami Marlins will spend their next nine games on the road, which should give the management time to fix the flaws.
"Other retractable-roof ballparks had to make adjustments for at least one or two years to get their field right," team president David Samson told the Associated Press. "We had hoped to get it right the first time. So far it's not right. We're going to keep working and experimenting and finding a way to make it better."
Because the roof was closed more often than expected in April, the grass has begun to turn a shade of brown, and we all know Jeffrey Loria's favorite color is "Miró's green." So, sun lamps, like those used at nurseries, will be brought in.
Heavy rains during the Arizona Diamondbacks series also revealed several leaks in the roof.
"[Sunday] there were four of five spots where we had some drips coming down. The roof people were looking at those joints," Samson said, according to the Miami Herald. "Again, it's very normal [to have leaks].
Maintenance crews have been working to plug the leaks.
"I guess they put gum on it," Samson said. "Or something to seal it up."
Samson repeatedly stressed it was normal for a new ballpark to have some kinks that needed to be worked out in its first season.
Of course, the Marlins' biggest flaws right now have nothing to do with the venue. The team is 9-14 and sits in last place in the division. While attendance is up compared to last year, the team's record is not. The 2011 Florida Marlins had a 16-9 record last April.

Quick Take: Michael Dell Bumps Up Offer
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In another twist in the Dell (DELL - Get Report) takeover saga, Michael Dell is raising his bid, while the shareholder vote is being postponed -- again. Examining what all of this means is TheStreet's Debra Borchardt, Antoine Gara, and Jonathan Marino.
Founder Michael Dell and Silverlake raised their offer by 10 cents per share, bringing it to $13.75. However, the special committee is taking issue with the bidders' new request to ignore nonvoting shares.
Although the bid was moved higher and many thought that that would be enough to capture the votes from some of the big shareholders who remain on the fence, it must not have been high enough, because the vote was rescheduled again.
Gara said shareholders likely have not heard the last from hedge fund manager Carl Icahn, who is the other bidder for Dell. Icahn, who is notorious for creative deals regarding takeover candidates, likely has an interesting card up his sleeve, Gara said.
With competitor Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) up more than 80% on the year, Icahn should use this to his advantage, according to Marino, who also said Icahn will likely bring something different to the table before the next scheduled vote. Marino argued, however, that there's still not a whole lot of upside left in the share price. But the major question remains: Will the special committee agree to the concessions of the Dell/Silverlake offer? If they do, Gara concluded that it would be a huge change of events in the six months of buyout chatter. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. .

text: Halona Blowhole is a popular tourist attraction just past Hanauma Bay overlooking Sandy Beach. The underwater cave compresses surging waves, spitting mist 20 ft+ in the air. You're best bet is to see the blowhole on a windy/high tide day. Windy days usually have rough ocean swells which pound the cliff and combined with the high tide produces an amazing spout. Unfortunately on this day it was calm and low tide I'll need to come back again and take better photos though we came here to specifically for whale watching.

KINGS POINT, N.Y. — Eight of the 42 U.S. Merchant Marine Academy students who were hospitalized after carbon monoxide was found to be leaking at the Long Island facility have returned to the school.
According to Newsday, a North Shore University Hospital spokeswoman said the eight were treated and released, and returned to the Kings Point school Monday morning.
The conditions of the other students, who were taken to other hospitals, were not immediately known.
Authorities said a water heater was found to be leaking carbon monoxide shortly before 10 p.m. Sunday. The leak was in the Academy's Barry Hall.

Sexy, sun-kissed skin is always in style (and it looks fabulous against a white gown) -- unfortunately, we all know that getting it the old-fashioned way is a serious health hazard. Luckily, achieving a totally natural-looking faux glow has never been easier. You won't turn orange, stain your clothes (or your hands), or get burned -- we promise.
The Good: It's inexpensive (one bottle or tube will last you several applications) and convenient (slather it on in the privacy of your own home, whenever). Choose a tanner that's a little lighter than you want to turn out and reapply every couple of days -- building your color gradually keeps you in control and prevents any surprises (although you really should have known what you were getting into when you picked up that bottle of extra-super-mega-dark formula!).The Bad: Even though self-tanners have improved 110% in the last few years, human error is still obstacle #1 when it comes to tanning at home. To prevent streaks, blotches, or missed spots, it doesn't hurt to have your fiance or a friend give you a once-over before you declare yourself done or even have them help you with hard-to-reach spots. Be sure to follow the instructions when it comes to how long you need to hang out in the buff before you get dressed, too -- you don't want any tanner to rub off on your clothes. When to Do It: Start building your tan about two weeks before your wedding date. You'll need the extra time to fine-tune your technique and find the right hue for you. Tanning Tips: Use a gentle body scrub in the shower first. Apply moisturizing lotion around the edges of your feet and between your toes, as well as on your elbows, knees, and hands (or wear rubber gloves to apply the tanner). It will provide a little bit of a barrier and keep these areas from soaking up too much of the formula. If you're applying tanner to your face, the same principle applies: Carefully apply extra moisturizer in the corners of your nose, around your eyes, and at your hairline.
No one's going to deny you a little quality time outdoors (your honeymoon, for example?). Just be sure you're totally covered as self-tanners usually don't provide any protection. Apply a broad spectrum (UVA and UVB) sunblock before you dress to be sure you're totally covered, then reapply every two hours (or every time you go in the water). Better safe than wrinkly!
The Good: Quick and easy! You simply strip down, apply some lotion (just as described above for at-home tanning), step into a booth, and voila! One or two minutes later, you're done. If you choose a spray with bronzer, you should be glowing already. If you picked the regular spray, in 4 to 12 hours you'll look like you're just back from a beach getaway. The Bad: Anyone who's seen the Friends episode with Ross's tanning trauma might feel a little trepidation about spray tanning (and yes, the experience can be a little sci-fi). If you've never gone before, get to the salon at least 10 minutes before your appointment time so you can ask the technicians any questions you might have about what to do. Also, though you will be tan after one session, you'll need to go back to deepen and maintain your color. When to Do It: Start about a month before your wedding. You'll need multiple visits to get the color you want, but you'll want to wait a while between each one to see how well you like it and decide whether to go darker. Tanning Tips: Before you step into the booth, apply lotion to body parts that shouldn't get too dark just as you would at home (salons usually provide moisturizer). It's especially important to rub it into your cuticles and on your fingertips to keep your nail beds from changing color. If you opt for a formula that includes a temporary bronzer, get the gym out of the way (sweat may make the color rub off onto clothing). To get the most out of your tan and let it fully develop, don't shower or swim for at least 12 to 24 hours after your tanning session (if you can wait even longer, that's better still).
The Good: A salon or spa technician sprays you with a fine mist of UV-free tanning solution. The color is custom-calibrated, so the technician can fine-tune your hue and even contour your muscles to give you a more defined look. This is also the best method for concealing stretch marks, scars, and cellulite. Getting an airbrush tan usually takes about 30 minutes and lasts 5 to 10 days. The Bad: It's not for the super-self-conscious (though it's no more invasive than your average bikini wax). The technician has to get up close and personal, and you'll have to strike several poses to make sure you're covered. It's also the most expensive method. While at-home airbrush tanners have started to hit the market, if you truly want a seamless glow you should still go to a pro. When to Do It: Book your appointment for a few days before your wedding, or, if you think you'll be too busy, one week before (then follow up with self-tanner to maintain your color). Since you're paying big bucks for flawless application, you want to get it done when you can flaunt it. Tanning Tips: If you're headed for a spa, consider scheduling a body scrub before you tan. This mega-exfoliation makes your skin feel amazing, and it will help your tan last and last. Afterward, moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Skin that's fully hydrated will keep your tan intact.

30 November 2012
In a speech to the House of Lords, Baroness Andrews, Chair of English Heritage, spoke about the devastating impact heritage crime has on communities, and made an impassioned plea for the newly elected Police and Crime Commissioners to take these crimes seriously and ensure activities to tackle them are embedded within existing practices at a local level.
© Ecclesiastical Insurance
Speaking in support of the second reading of the Scrap Metal Dealer's Bill on 30 November, Baroness Andrews said: "Heritage crime is not just a financial crime where profits and insurance companies suffer the only loss, although there is often a very significant financial cost as well. This is crime that erases history, threatens the viability of churches, defiles the memory of our war heroes and melts away our great art and artefacts.
"The bill is therefore a public service and we welcome it. It will provide a proper regulatory framework which will identify the decent traders and protect them - and will make it much more difficult for the rogue thief to function."
Baroness Andrews went on to say; "Legitimising and regulating lawful scrap metal dealing will certainly help reduce the temptation to steal, but to make much needed further inroads into the problem, we need to increase general vigilance, use the best preventative measures…and execute law enforcement in a way that properly reflects the value to society of the sites that have been damaged.
"The Bill is a significant step forward and I am cheering it on heartily. But I would also ask the Government, local authorities and Police and Crime Commissioners in particular to complete the task and ensure heritage crime prevention is embedded in all their relevant law enforcement activities.
"We are very pleased that Chief Constable Andrew Bliss of Hertfordshire Police has agreed to be the Association of Chief Police Officers' national lead for heritage crime. I know it is his view that this is a matter of real importance and one that can be tackled very well within existing resources and patterns of working at a local level. I will shortly be writing to all Police and Crime Commissioners to bring these issues to their attention."
English Heritage's own research shows that around 6% of all listed buildings were harmed by metal theft last year. That is around 22,000 of our nationally important historic buildings suffering damage every year from metal theft alone.
Churches and war memorials are the worst hit. According to the research 14% of churches suffered metal theft in 2011. Ecclesiastical Insurance says it has received some 9,000 claims from churches for metal theft in the last four years alone, at a cost of over £25m. Claims on their policies reached a new high of 2,500 in 2011.
English Heritage has received a very positive response from the police, local authorities, the Church of England and other partners that it has engaged in its heritage crime programme. Representatives from more than 150 organisations are now members of the Alliance to Reduce Crime against Heritage (ARCH), a voluntary national network that is being used to take forward the initiatives and galvanise local action.
Mike Harlow, Governance and Legal Director of English Heritage, said: "Combating heritage crime will be a perennial task, but it is already bearing fruit. We have worked with Lincolnshire police, for example, in bringing to justice a gang who have admitted stealing lead from 22 churches across the county - a case which shows the industrial and organised scale of the threat, as well as the benefits of conservation and law enforcement professionals working together."
English Heritage has just published a new set of guidance documents to help the public and police prevent and tackle heritage crime more effectively:

FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC!!!! We were let down by our pirate entertainer 2 days before our sons 4th birthday party in 5th Jan 2014 in Bristol.... My son is pirate mad, so would have been so disappointed, but it was just luck that PIRATE ATTACK were available. They arrived 1 hour early, and set up quickly and efficiently ready for the children to arrive. Both Pirate cliff and his mate were enthusiastic, but calm and in total control of the 20 children ages from 3 -6 the whole time. They started with the bouncy castles (which I usually dread due to bumps and bangs). They split the group into 2 groups for this and carefully micro-managed the bouncing without incident - one group did crafts making pirate hats and spy glasses and one group bounced and then swapped - everyone was happy even the 3 year olds! Then there was walking the plank and a blow up cutlass duel for the birthday boy. After food they serenaded the guests on the accordion whilst we sang happy birthday and a short pirate song, there was some more pirate fun treasure hunt etc, and it ended with the pirate in the stocks and the children throwing wet sponges at him!!! great fun had by all and they made the birthday boy feel amazing, the best most important pirate ever! The pirates themselves were in character the whole time and very convincing and friendly, and kept their costume on the whole time even when clearing away so not to disappoint the children - absolutely whole heartedly recommended - don't be afraid to book these guys, you will not be disappointed, and very reasonably priced! If they have a slot for your party book it straight away before someone else does!!!
We hired Pirate Attack for my son's 5th birthday party in August - it was great! Captain Cliff and his wife Christine were fantastic with the children, really convincing pirate outfits and ran the party with confidence and ease. They played games, had a crafts table and made the birthday boy feel really special, all I had to do was organise the food so made for a really enjoyable party for me to host. Would highly recommend for a bit of swashbuckling fun!

About Spotted Wing Drosophila and the SCRI SWD Project
Spotted wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii, is an insect pest of economically valuable small fruit and tree fruit crops. Known in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest since about 2009, this species now appears to be established in many fruit growing regions around the country. Growers and researchers are working together to implement effective pest control strategies.

Absent the last-minute shopping surge that rescued holiday sales a year ago, Christmas 2011 was in the main a dismal event for the nation's drug chains.
Retail News Breaks Archives
NEW YORK – Absent the last-minute shopping surge that rescued holiday sales a year ago, Christmas 2011 was in the main a dismal event for the nation's drug chains.
The holiday shopping season that began on Black Friday, Nov. 25, and ended 30 days later on Christmas Eve — giving the retail community one more shopping day than Christmas 2010 — was notable primarily for its length and for little else.
Chain drug retail sales for the holiday period advanced 4.4%, compared with a 5.4% gain a year ago and a 6.8% increase in 2009, according to research by Racher Press, the publisher of Chain Drug Review. Same-store sales edged up just 2.2% this year versus gains of 3.4% in 2010 and 5.5% in 2009
In a season that proved a disappointment across retail trade channels, consumers mustered little enthusiasm for the basic chain drug holiday assortment, one that had proven adequate in the past.
Still, the final shopping days did bring a mini-burst of consumer enthusiasm for such basic chain drug holiday merchandise as trim-a-tree, gift wrap, gift cards, low-end toys, holiday candy, gift sets and greeting cards. Also, the weather largely behaved, save for a blizzard that swept through the Midwest during the week before Christmas. Unseasonably warm weather in the eastern third of the country was blamed in some measure for the lack of holiday excitement.
But this was hardly sufficient compensation for a period marked by the absence of holiday buying and the disappearance of a basic beauty care business and the dreary performance of prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs. Consumers simply didn't get sick through most of December.
Drug chains were hurt by several factors this holiday season: a general economic malaise, intense competition from online retailers, and aggressive promotions by department stores that proved irresistible for hoards of shoppers. Against this competition, chain drug retailers had little to offer except accessible price points on basic holiday merchandise. It wasn't nearly enough.
The chain drug stores were also adversely affected by the absence of a blockbuster item that helped rescue Christmases past. Drug chains' offerings in electronics, housewares, household items, basic clothing and pet supplies couldn't compete effectively for shopper attention or sales.
True, drug chains bought cautiously in advance of the holiday shopping season and managed their inventories with their usual efficiency. Although the week between Christmas and New Year boded well for chain drug retailers — as it always does — that was the extent of the good news.
The result of all this is that, for U.S. drug chains, Christmas just isn't what it used to be. It is no longer the premier seasonal event on the chain drug promotional calendar — Halloween has largely assumed that role.
As Christmas dwindles in importance, only the post-Christmas clearance and chain drug's ability to manage its inventory keeps this holiday in the forefront of industry attention. What once worked to bring shoppers to chain drug stores for the holidays no longer works as automatically and effectively as it once did.
