3 Good shirt, but dodgy sizing.Posted: 25/07/2011Nice shirt with a bright print - same as picture.Only problem is with the sizing.

Bulgarian Orthodox Church Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
The Bulgarian Orthodox Church has been nominated by MP, Lachezar Toshev, for the 2013 Noble Peace Prize.
The occasion is the 70th anniversary of Bulgaria rescuing its Jews from deportation to Nazi concentration camps during World War II.
Toshev says he wants to make the above more popular and globally known, stressing the involvement of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church in the rescue of Jews is unprecedented on international scale and must be recognized.
The MP further explains the Church has been under Hitler's territorial control, yet dared to openly state its position and oppose him, including not only the deportation, but laws discriminating against Jews.
The nomination is a precedent as well as it involves for the first time ever a religious institution.
The only known Bulgarian nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize is the one of Prime Minister, Andrey Lyapchev, in 1910, by the Speaker of the Parliament, Hristo Slaveykov. The Nobel Committee has a rule to not reveal nominations in any area for 50 years.
In the first half of the 20th century, Bulgaria had 7 nominations for the Nobel Prize for Literature, mostly on the initiative of Sofia University professors, but the Peace Prize has different criteria.
A large pool of officials is entitled to make nominations – Members of the Parliament and of the Cabinet of a country, university scholars, members of the International Arbitration Court in The Hague, current and former members of the Nobel Committee, advisors of the Nobel Institute, and Nobel Peace Prize holders, among others.
2011 registered a record 241 nominations for the Peace Prize, which has been surpassed in 2013 with 259 ones.

Unmasking the patient's hidden agenda
By Jerome Groopman, FACP, and Pamela Hartzband, FACP
Sidebar: |
Ian Gilson, FACP, a primary care internist from a multidisciplinary clinic in Milwaukee, told us about a 44-year-old married professional woman scheduled as his last appointment on a Monday evening. She had a history of asthma and depression, and came in nearly one year after her last appointment because she was running out of her asthma medication and SSRI. The depression was chronic and had been quite well controlled on fluoxetine, a "legacy prescription" given to her years before she came under Dr. Gilson's care.
When Dr. Gilson asked about her depression, the patient curtly said she was "so-so." He told us that her tone gave a clear message: "Let's move on." Dr. Gilson then explored how she was coping with her asthma; she said she was doing well on her current medications. He raised again the issue of her single daily cigarette, which was a long-standing topic of conversation.
Normally, the visit would have ended there, with Dr. Gilson renewing her prescriptions and scheduling a follow-up appointment. "But something about that reply of 'so-so' bothered me," he said. Dr. Gilson has a special interest in mental health, and three days before he saw this patient, he had led a focus group on suicide prevention in primary care medicine. "The consequences of severe depression were very much in my mind," he said.
Retrieving thoughts about a situation based on a recent experience or a dramatic memory is termed an "availability bias." This shortcut or heuristic likely evolved as a way to adapt successfully to decision making under time pressure and uncertainty. The availability shortcut in thinking can lead us astray, as we have written, but it can also work to our advantage in certain situations.
Dr. Gilson, then, was especially primed to pay particular attention to his patient's mood. She had signaled strongly that she didn't want to discuss her depression further. So he took another approach: He gave her a PHQ-9 form, which has questions that provide insight into the severity of depression and risk of suicide. "I left her alone in the room with the form for a few minutes," Dr. Gilson said. "When I returned I was surprised to see a high depression score, including anhedonia and self-worth, but I was most alarmed to see her score on question 9, self-harm thinking of suicide more often than not."
Debra Roter, PhD, a professor of health policy and management at Johns Hopkins University, works with Judith Hall, PhD, a professor of social psychology at Northeastern University. They have analyzed literally thousands of videotapes and live interactions between patients and doctors of many types. Their work provides deep insight into physician-patient communication. They are particularly focused on how a doctor responds to his patient's emotions, and how this response guides the types of questions he asks, and in what tone.
Drs. Roter and Hall conclude that the physician should seek "patient activation and engagement." As Dr. Roter explained in How Doctors Think, the idea is to make the patient feel free, if not eager, to speak and participate in dialogue. Many patients are gripped by fear and anxiety; some also carry shame about their disease. Dr. Roter emphasized that even if the doctor asks the right questions, "The patient may not be forthcoming because of his emotional state. The goal of a physician is to get the story, and to do so he has to understand patients' emotions" (How Doctors Think, pages 17-18).
Dr. Gilson gave his patient time alone with the PHQ-9 form, which seemed to allow her to focus on her feelings. Her written answer served as an opening to an in-depth discussion that uncovered what was hidden. "She had suicidal ideation for months, imagining asphyxiation or taking a drug overdose. I also learned that she had a history of suicide attempts as an adolescent, and was feeling detached from her husband and her child."
Dr. Gilson recommended she increase her dose of fluoxetine, which she did, and referred her urgently to a psychiatric nurse practitioner skilled in treating refractory depression. The patient left a message the next day thanking him for the referral.
Dr. Gilson was primed to pay attention to the answer of "so-so" delivered in a tone meant to change the subject. He was able to prompt and encourage this woman to open up to him despite the fear and anxiety that likely inhibited her initially. "It is fortunate that I gave her the PHQ-9 form and paid attention to the result. It was key to probably aborting a potential suicide."
The timing of the patient's visit was also fortunate. "Had I been running behind, as I so often am, and had she not been one of the last patients in the evening, I may well have skipped it and missed a crucial diagnosis." We have written before about how time pressure increasingly affects how we all deliver care.
It is not only psychiatric symptoms that patients may be reluctant to discuss due to fear and anxiety. In our own practices, we have been struck by how often patients may mention, almost in passing, a lump in the breast or the chest pain they had climbing stairs as they are leaving the appointment, with "one foot out the door."
Physicians need not only to be attuned to the reality that patients may have a hidden agenda, but also to have various strategies to try to unmask that agenda and the time to address issues raised. This can be especially difficult in a busy primary care practice. Despite this challenge, it is deeply gratifying to the clinician to uncover a patient's hidden agenda. "I've been practicing for a long time," Dr. Gilson told us, "and I still love to do it."
Jerome Groopman, FACP, a hematologist/oncologist and author of the bestselling How Doctors Think, and endocrinologist Pamela Hartzband, FACP, are on the Harvard Medical School faculty. They also serve as staff physicians at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where Dr. Hartzband co-directs the internal medicine subinternship program.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks looking to win back divisional dignity as Dodgers come to town
Dating back to June 13 last year, the Arizona Diamondbacks have gone 4-14 against the Los Angeles Dodgers in their last 18 contests.
This year, they are 1-7 against their division foe, after flying 7,800 miles to Sydney, Australia, where they were swept in Major League Baseball's opening series.
Their lone win over the Dodgers this season was had in extra innings, with the catalyzing run scoring on a wild pitch.
Manager Don Mattingly's side has outscored the Kirk Gibson's Diamondbacks by 18 runs over the first eight contests this season.
On Friday, the Diamondbacks will look to right the record against not just the Dodgers, but also the division at large. They are a combined 8-16 against the Dodgers, San Francisco Giants, Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres. They've won just two of the eight divisional series they've played so far and they have a winning record against just one such foe -- the Padres.
Pitcher Wade Miley will take the mound for the Diamonbdacks at Chase Field, where the team has some other demons to exorcise. Gibson's squad is just 4-17 at home this season -- including the two games in Sydney -- and they still haven't won a home series.
Miley, nonetheless, will be representing a much-improved starting rotation for the Diamondbacks when he toes the rubber this weekend, looking to carry the momentum that pitchers Bronson Arroyo and Brandon McCarthy drummed up with back-to-back nine and eight-inning one-run starts.
He'll likely be followed by Josh Collmenter on Saturday and Chase Anderson on Sunday.
The Dodgers, meanwhile, may counter with Zack Greinke, Clayton Kershaw and Dan Haren, if they stay in order, but the team has yet to announce its probable pitchers for the series.
The Diamondbacks are currently 11 games back of the Giants in the West; the Dodgers are 4.5 back.
In the last meeting of the two teams, the Diamondbacks were swept at home by the Dodgers to cap off an 0-6 homestand at Chase Field. The team is 1-2 on its current homestand after falling to the Washington Nationals 5-1 on Wednesday.
Though mired at the bottom of the standings, it seems the Diamondbacks' morale would benefit from a resurgence against their stated foe and, more generally, their division of play.

Do you really think Dark types should be immune to Psychic?
Honestly I never understood why they are, but I sure am glad of it! I guess their dark aura must block the psychic powers or something like that? I'd understand them being resistant to it, but not immune. But once again, I'm not complaining paha.

text: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Fall (band) The Fall (band) The Fall The Fall live in 2008. Background information Origin Genre(s) Years active Label(s) Prestwich, Bury, England Post-punk, alternative rock 1976–present Step Forward/Faulty Products, Rough Trade, Beggars Banquet, Situation Two, Narnack, Phonogram/Fontana, Matador, Permanent, Slogan, Domino and more than triple that counting live albums and other releases. They have never achieved widespread public success beyond a handful of minor hit singles in the late 1980s, but have maintained a strong cult following. The band were long associated with BBC disc jockey John Peel, who championed them from early on in their career and cited The Fall as his favourite band, famously explaining, "They are always different; they are always the same."[2] History 1970s The Fall formed in Prestwich, Greater Manchester during 1976, taking their name after Albert Camus' 1956 novel The Fall. They would meet at Kingswood Road, Prestwich and rehearse material in Smith's/ Baines' flat. The original line up was to be Martin Bramah - vocal, Mark Smith - guitar, Tony Friel - bass and Una Baines - drums. From their first live lineup of Mark E. Smith (vocal), Martin Bramah (guitar), Tony Friel (bass) and a drummer remembered either as Steve or Dave (see Members of The Fall) on Monday, 23 May 1977 North West Arts basement, King Street, Manchester, the group produced a sound quite unlike anything else being played in the run-down dancehalls of northern England's New Wave scene. After this first gig, the drummer left (years later Smith referred to him as "that little bald fellow that died from Stockport" with Tony Friel recalling that he "killed himself by throwing himself under a train in the 1990's") and adding Una Baines on keyboard and Karl Burns on drums for the second gig on Friday, 3 June 1977 at the Squat Club, Manchester. It was this line up of Smith, Bramah, Friel, Baines and Burns that recorded "Bingo-Master's Break-Out!", "Psycho Mafia", "Repetition" and "Frightened" on Thursday, 9 November 1977 at Indigo Studios, Manchester. The session was funded by Richard Boon, manager of Buzzcocks, and he planned to release the tracks on his New Hormones label. Boon later gave the tapes Members Mark E. Smith, Elena Poulou, Dave Spurr, Pete Greenway, Keiron Melling Former members see Members of The Fall The Fall are an English post-punk band, formed in Prestwich, Greater Manchester in 1976. The band has existed in some form ever since, and is essentially built around its founder and only constant member Mark E. Smith. Initially associated with the punk movement of the late 1970s, the group's music has gone through several stylistic changes over the years. However, The Fall's music is often characterised by repetition, an abrasive guitar-driven sound, and is always underpinned by Smith's vocals and often cryptic lyrics, described by critic Steve Huey[1] as "abstract poetry filled with complicated wordplay, bone-dry wit, cutting social observations, and general misanthropy (sometimes more implied than clearly stated, but apparent nonetheless)." The band's output is prolific—as of April 2008 they have released 27 studio albums, 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia back to the band as he decided to concentrate on Buzzcocks. Two tracks, "Stepping Out" and "Last Orders", were released on the compilation Short Circuit: Live at the Electric Circus in June 1978 on Virgin Records, a compilation album recorded at the Manchester venue The Electric Circus on Sunday, 2 October 1977. Founder member and bassist Tony Friel left to form The Passage after a gig on Friday, 23 December 1977, at Stretford Civic Centre, Manchester. Friel's replacement Jonnie Brown lasted through January 1978 for one gig only, Friday, 13 January 1978 Huddersfield Polytechnic a gig attended by Danny Baker of TV fame and reviewed by him in ZigZag magazine. Jonnie Brown was replaced by Eric McGann (aka Rick "Echo" Goldstraw not to be confused with Salford-based percussionist Eric Random) who took part in the Granada TV show So It Goes hosted by Tony Wilson. The Fall were filmed by Granada for the show in Prestwich on Monday, 13 February 1978 performing "Psycho Mafia", "Industrial Estate" and "Dresden Dolls". Eric McGann made his live debut with The Fall on Friday, 3 March 1978 at Rafter's, Manchester. In early April 1978 Una Baines left The Fall. This was in part due to her relationship with Jonnie Brown, who allegedly was a heroin addict (Brown still thinks "No Xmas For John Quays" is about him), but also due to band differences. He and Baines struck up a relationship and when Brown left Baines followed soon after. Baines stated in interviews years later that when Brown walked in there was an obvious attraction between them. She also added that Brown said if they were going to get together then he had a secret and to be with him she'd have to share it... she did and they had a short relationship. Replacing Una Baines came Yvonne Pawlett in late April 1978, quickly followed by the exit of Eric McGann who lasted until Tuesday, 30 May 1978. Eric's departure was due to the Fall's then van driver and conga player Steve Davis showing up to take the band to London to record their first John Peel session in a Hawaiian shirt. Such was Eric's disgust he refused to get in the van and was summarily sacked. During the recording of the Peel session Martin Bramah played the bass parts. New bass player Marc Riley joined and appeared with The Fall on Sunday, 11 June 1978 at Band on the Wall, Manchester. The The Fall (band) debut EP, "Bingo-Master's Break-Out!", was finally released on 11 August 1978 on Step Forward Records but did not include "Frightened" from the recording sessions. Apparently Mark E. Smith asked for it to be left off as he felt that it was a dull version; a copy of this recording has never been officially released. The second single was "It's the New Thing" released November 1978 and featured the new line up of Mark E. Smith, Martin Bramah, Marc Riley, Yvonne Pawlett and Karl Burns. Debut album Live at the Witch Trials was recorded in one day at Camden Sound Suite, London on Friday, 15 December 1978. Further line up changes were afoot with the departure of Karl Burns. His last appearance was on Saturday, 30 December 1978 The Venue, Manchester. Burns' replacement, Mike Leigh, first appeared live on Wednesday, 14 February 1979 at Bowden Vale Social Club, Altrincham. The debut LP by The Fall, Live at the Witch Trials was released on 16 March 1979. Founding member Martin Bramah quit the band during late April 1979 to form Blue Orchids. This created a significant shift in band dynamics, with the replacements Steve Hanley and Craig Scanlon first appearing live on Wednesday, 9 May 1979 at Music Hall, Aberdeen. Yvonne Pawlett's last appearance with The Fall came on Saturday, 28 July 1979 at the Mayflower Club, Gorton, Manchester. She left to look after her sick dog. Years later she appeared in The Shy Tots releasing a single "Gallery" in 1982. On 30 July 1979 "Rowche Rumble", The Fall's third single, was released featuring the new line up of Mark E Smith, Craig Scanlon, Marc Riley, Steve Hanley, Yvonne Pawlett and Mike Leigh. Dragnet, The Fall's second album was recorded on 2 - 4 August 1979 at Cargo Studios, Rochdale and was released on 26 October 1979 featuring the stripped-down line-up of Mark E Smith, Craig Scanlon, Marc Riley, Steve Hanley and Mike Leigh. Dragnet signaled a sparser, more jagged feel, which on subsequent albums filled out into a more grinding, industrial sound. Early 1980s 13 January 1980 The Fall release their fourth single, "Fiery Jack", their last record for Step Forward. 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mike Leigh's last gig was on Thursday, 20 March 1980 at Manchester Polytechnic, he apparently left and went back onto the cabaret circuit. Paul Hanley, Leigh's replacement and Steve Hanley's younger brother, first plays live with The Fall on Friday, 21 March 1980 Electric Ballroom, London. 5 May 1980 Totale's Turns LP released on Rough Trade. The live album (apart from 2 tracks) documents the band during various appearances, with Smith announcing last orders at the bar and berating band members and audience throughout. In mid June 1980 The Fall tour The Netherlands with drummer Steve Davis. He stood in for Paul Hanley while he took his O levels. The Fall release their fifth single on 11 July 1980 titled "How I Wrote Elastic Man" and is the first release to feature the line up of Mark E Smith, Craig Scanlon, Marc Riley, Steve Hanley and Paul Hanley. 17 November 1980 Grotesque Lp released. With the album came a significant improvement in production and content, which continued throughout the period. In 1978, 1979 & 1980 The Fall played the Deeply Vale Festivals and Mark E Smith said in a 2004 TV interview that the Deeply Vale events were his all time favourite festivals despite in later years having performed at many larger festivals. Smith also said his favourite place to record albums was in Rochdale which has featured heavily throughout their career as a town where The Fall have gone to record initially at Cargo / Suite Sixteen and later at Gracieland. Slates, the mini 10" album, released 24 April 1981 their last recording for Rough Trade. Several of the tracks include Dave Tucker on clarinet, he had appeared with The Fall on numerous occasions in a live capacity. May - July 1981 The Fall tour America with the line up of Mark E. Smith, Craig Scanlon, Marc Riley, Steve Hanley and Karl Burns on drums. U.S. immigration said Paul Hanley was too young to play America's "21 and over" clubs. September 1981 Karl Burns appears as a second drummer with The Fall for the first time and 77 - Early Years - 79 LP (a Step Forward compilation) is released. On 13 November 1981 The Fall release their sixth single called "Lie Dream Of A Casino Soul" produced by Richard Mazda, recorded at Workhouse Studios in London and The Fall (band) released on Kamera Records featuring the line up Mark E. Smith, Craig Scanlon, Marc Riley, Steve Hanley, Paul Hanley and Karl Burns. On 8 March 1982 Hex Enduction Hour also produced by Richard Mazda is released on Kamera Records and Live in London 1980 cassette only live album is released later in the month on Chaos Tapes. The Fall's seventh single is released 19 April 1982 titled "Look, Know" on Kamera. May 1982 A Part of America Therein live LP released on Cottage Records, having been recorded during their last tour of America. 27 September 1982 Room to Live album released on Kamera. Marc Riley's final appearance with The Fall is on Wednesday, 22 December 1982 at the Lesser Free Trade Hall, Manchester. 1983 The Fall Perverted By Language Tour, Hamburg (Markthalle), 13.April 1984 1983 was a year of changes in The Fall camp and marked The Fall's return to Rough Trade Records, after being promised better treatment this time around. On 7 June 1983, Rough Trade Records issued The Fall's ninth single The Man Whose Head Expanded and on 19 September 1983 issued the 10th single and double pack Kicker Conspiracy. Bizarrely in November 1983 Kamera Records issued around 2-3 thousand copies of the planned 1982 single Marquis Cha Cha, the release date having been put back due to Kamera's financial troubles in late 1982, making it The Fall's eleventh single issue. 1983 heralded another dramatic change with the arrival of Smith's American girlfriend and later wife, Chicagoan Brix Smith (born Laura Elise Salenger and named after the track Guns Of Brixton by The Clash, due to her liking of it), 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia as guitarist alongside Craig Scanlon. Brix's first live appearance being on Wednesday, 21 September 1983 at the Hellfire Club, Wakefield. A last album for Rough Trade Records, before the friendship soured, (Perverted by Language, released 5 December 1983) was the first record by The Fall to feature Brix E Smith. Also released in December 1983 was the live album In A Hole, recorded during The Fall's tour of New Zealand in 1982, on Flying Nun Records. The Fall (band) Wolstencroft left halfway through the recording sessions, and was replaced by Karl Burns). Steven Wells in the NME (11 October 1997) wrote, "Imagine pop without perimeters. Imagine rock without rules. Imagine art without the wank. If you've never heard The Fall then Levitate will be either the best or the worst record you've ever heard." The group was temporarily reduced to Smith and Nagle when a disastrous U.S. tour ended in April 1998 with a violent onstage row and the departure of Hanley (bassist for 19 years), Burns and guitarist Tommy Crooks. The following day, Smith was arrested and charged with assaulting Nagle in their hotel.[3] 1984-1989 This era found The Fall scoring a few modest hits with singles from a string of highly acclaimed albums: The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall (1984), This Nation's Saving Grace (1985), Bend Sinister (1986), The Frenz Experiment (1988). I Am Kurious, Oranj is notable as the fruit of a ballet project between Smith and dancer Michael Clark. Simon Rogers and later Marcia Schofield played keyboards, and Simon Wolstencroft replaced Burns on drums after This Nation's Saving Grace. 2000–present From this nadir, the Fall achieved another comeback with Smith and Nagle being joined by Neville Wilding on guitar, Karen Leatham and later Adam Halal on bass, and Tom Head on drums for the albums The Marshall Suite (1999) and The Unutterable (2000). Further rifts followed in 2001, in which the new lineup of Smith, Ben Pritchard (guitar), Jim Watts (bass) and Spencer Birtwistle (drums) released Are You Are Missing Winner to mixed reviews. Spencer Birtwistle was then replaced by Dave Milner on drums in November 2001. September 2002 saw Elena Poulou - Smith's third and current wife - fill the vacant position of keyboards player. The Real New Fall LP (reputedly renamed from Country on the Click after an earlier mix of the album appeared on Internet file sharing networks) followed in 2003, with a slightly different mix and some extra tracks for the US version. Interim, was released in November, 2004. In 2002 Q magazine named The Fall one of the "50 Bands to See Before You Die". In January 2005, The Fall (described as "one of the most enigmatic, idiosyncratic and chaotic garage bands of the last 30 years") were the subject of a BBC Four TV documentary, The Fall: The Wonderful and Frightening World of Mark E Smith. Later that year, a 97-song box set containing all of the sessions the group recorded for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 programme was issued to widespread acclaim. Their 25th studio album, entitled Fall Heads Roll, was issued on 3 October 2005, preceded by a single "I Can Hear the Grass Grow" (a cover of a song by The Move) on 6 September 2005 (US) and 19 September 2005 (UK). Ben Pritchard (guitar), Steve Trafford (bass), Spencer Birtwistle (drums), 1990s With Brix's departure in 1989, Bramah returned briefly for 1990s Extricate, the first of the Fall's three albums for Phonogram Records. Bramah and Schofield left in advance of 1991's Shift-Work. Dave Bush the multi talented programmer/musician joined on keyboards for 1992's Code: Selfish, followed by the band's return to an independent record label for The Infotainment Scan (1993), Middle Class Revolt (1994) and Cerebral Caustic (1995). The latter album saw the unexpected return of Smith's ex-wife Brix, who left again in 1996. When Dave Bush went to join Elastica and Scanlon was sacked after 16 years (a decision Smith would later regret), 1996 saw the arrival on keyboards, guitars and computers of Julia Nagle for The Light User Syndrome. That year also saw the start of a torrent of compilations of live, demo and alternate versions of songs, on the Fall's new label Receiver Records. In 1994 and 1996 The Fall played at the Phoenix Festival in Stratford, England - the 1996 appearance being one of much surprise to many fans as they were not scheduled to play. They followed novelty keyboardist, Margarita Pracatan. The next album, Levitate (1997), toyed with drum and bass and polarised opinion (long-serving drummer Simon 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia all of whom played on Fall Heads Roll, left the group somewhat acrimoniously during the group's Summer 2006 tour of the US after just four dates. In a US radio interview, Smith described their departures as "the best thing that ever happened" to The Fall, although it was some months before he confirmed that they would not be returning to the group.[4] From 9 May 2006, Smith and Poulou were joined by Tim Presley (guitar), Rob Barbato (bass) and Orpheo McCord (drums) who joined them for the remainder of the US tour, a flagship show in Manchester held in June 2006 and an appearance at the Øyafestivalen in Oslo, Norway in August 2006. Presley and Barbato are members of the band Darker My Love while McCord was one half of the experimental duo The Hill. With Barbato and Presley fulfilling Darker My Love commitments back in the US in late August, the first 'squad rotation system' of Fall musicians emerged with new members Pete Greenway (guitar) of West Midlands group Pubic Fringe (more recently known as Das Fringe), and Dave Spurr (bass) making their Fall debuts alongside Smith, Poulou and McCord at the Reading and Leeds festivals in August 2006. The musicians appeared in various configurations, usually with two bass players although on occasion gigs were played with a double-drummer lineup. On 1 June 2007 Presley, Barbato and McCord played their most recent gig with The Fall. Although no official statement by the band has been made they are now assumed to have ceased being part of the Fall, with the line up of all gigs since having consisted of Smith, Poulou, Spurr, Greenway and Melling. Melling and Spurr play together in the group MotherJohn. Recently, the Fall have been joined onstage by former bass player Simon 'Ding' Archer, whose group Bobbie Peru are supporting the Fall on their current UK tour. In April 2009, The Fall have signed with UK-based independent record label Domino Records.[5][6] The Fall (band) indication of the size and dedication of their small, devoted fan base."[7] The Fall have also had a profound influence over groups such as Franz Ferdinand, The Smiths, LCD Soundsystem, The Long Blondes, The Birthday Party, Nirvana, Pavement and Happy Mondays[8]. Sonic Youth covered three Fall songs (and "Victoria" by the Kinks, also covered by the Fall) in a 1988 Peel Session, which was released in 1990 as the "4 Tunna Brix" EP on Sonic Youth's own Goofin' label. The 1990s indie acts Pavement and Elastica (Smith contributed vocals to their final EP and album) showed an influence of The Fall, while Suede parodied the band with "Implement Yeah!", a song found on the cassette edition of their 1999 single "Electricity". The Fall is referenced in the Jens Lekman song "Maple Leaves" with the lyrics "And when she talked about her fall, I thought she talked about Mark E. Smith". The Electric Soft Parade album No Need to Be Downhearted is named after a lyric from The Fall song "15 Ways".[9] The German rock band Tocotronic has a song called "Ich hab geträumt ich wäre Pizza essen mit Mark E. Smith" (German for "I've dreamed I would eat pizza with Mark E. Smith"). The Dutch indie band Seedling refers to The Fall in their song "The Upshot", singing "You make it sound so sexy, as if you're Mark E. Smith from the Fall". U.S. indie singer-songwriter Barbara Manning's song "Mark E. Smith & Brix" describes running into "the man of my dreams" (and his then-wife) while out walking. The Jazz Butcher's first single in 1983 was the oxymoronic "Southern Mark Smith." Jeffrey Lewis wrote the song and comic The Legend of the Fall, which is a documentary of The Fall.

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson Share a Sunset Stroll on the Champs-Elysées
Jessica Simpson and her fiancé Eric Johnson shared an al fresco meal with a friend in Paris yesterday before taking a romantic walk together at dusk. The couple made their way to the City of Lights via NYC and then London, landing in France just in time for the tail end of Fall Fashion Week on Monday. The singer and businesswoman has been busy focusing on her retail empire this month, but she may add a new job to her resume. Jessica's apparently up for a spot on the judging panel when Simon Cowell's The X Factor debuts stateside this year, but she so far hasn't commented on the reports.

chick needs to get herself a "real doll" with a foot long d*** that's programmed with Nick's voice to tell her "she's the most intelligent and beautiful woman alive" and call it a day...that would surely be cheaper than paying this winner $10k/mo plus food and clothes...and shelter...and maybe she can get her $ back on that fugly @$$ "engagement" ring

"Jessica Simpson and her fiancé Eric Johnson shared an al fresco meal with a friend in Paris"
The "friend" they ate with is the person Joe hired to take all these pictures of her overseas. The hired pap and Eric Johnson both get to expense their meals while at work-which for the hired pap is taking pretend candids and for Eric Johnson pretending to date Jessica Simpson.

He's basically her paid escort. Kinda pathetic that she's attracted to a man with so little ambition.

Teenager on life support after being hit by car in Port St. Lucie | Photos
PORT ST. LUCIE — It's a bicycle ride Ciara Cogossi has made for two years, the trip from her home on Southeast Ruffin Terrace to Port St. Lucie High School.
It's a ride the 18-year-old said Tuesday she no longer plans to make.
Cogossi was riding just before 7 a.m. Tuesday west along Southeast Tiffany Avenue toward Southeast Lennard Road with her friend, 16-year-old Hunter Henry.
They were side by side when a westbound 2010 Ford Mustang driven by Robert Swenson, 82, of Port St. Lucie, struck Henry from behind, according to Master Sgt. Frank Sabol, Port St. Lucie police spokesman.
Henry, who wasn't wearing a helmet, was thrown from his bicycle, and collided with the Mustang's windshield. He was taken to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center & Heart Institute in Fort Pierce, where he later was placed on life support, Sabol said.
Hours after the crash, 11th grader Cogossi, who wasn't struck, spoke about the collision.
"This guy, he was not slowing down. We did not see him from behind because we don't normally look back unless we see bright headlights ... I just looked out of the corner of my eye, I saw Hunter just fly," Cogossi said. "It was like 15, 20 feet. I was freaking out, I got off my bike, ran, I started screaming, went down next to him, saw he was still breathing."
Southeast Tiffany Avenue in the area of the crash has a 30 mph speed limit. It has one eastbound lane and one westbound lane. There are no bicycle lanes. A wide, grassy area borders Southeast Tiffany Avenue on the roadway's north. Homes are on the south.
"It's not a well lit road and we're going to investigate to see whether or not the bicycles had lights on them to give them higher visibility," Sabol said.
Bicyclists 15 and younger are required to wear helmets, Sabol said.
Police reported the crash remains under investigation, but that no citations and/or charges had been issued.
The gray Mustang, its windshield smashed on the passenger side, remained at the scene, not far from a crumpled bicycle.
"The car that was riding behind them apparently didn't see them," Sabol said. "(The bicyclists) did have the right to be in the road, now whether or not they are allowed to ride tandem is still under investigation, ... usually they should be one in front of the other, not two side by side."
Over the years, a number of children throughout St. Lucie County have been injured to varying degrees, including fatally, at or near school bus stops.
Cogossi lives less than two miles from Port St. Lucie High School, according to Mapquest.com.
Students living less than two miles from a school aren't eligible for busing, according to state law.
Cogossi, who came to Port St. Lucie from Stuart, said she would prefer to take the bus if she had the option.
"I really wanted sidewalks at least on Tiffany (Avenue) because I would feel safer," Cogossi said. "Going down Lennard (Road), I feel safer on Lennard (Road) because of the sidewalks."
She said she no longer plans to ride her bicycle to school.

grandpa 2 Posted:
For the price it works great. When riding and it in the mid to upper 30"s, it really keeps my head warm.
Nitram_b4 Posted:
Not bad for 40F weather
firstname.lastname@example.com Posted:
I used this on an early morning ride just last week. I was surprised at how warm it really is. Plus it has flat seems. You have no idea how big of a difference that makes. This is perfect for use with a half helmet or full face helmet.
03colodeuce Posted:
This has worked out well and is well worth the money.
rich1950 Posted:
very happy with it
kennethkunze Posted:
this one is good, better than most, but still not enough length to help keep the neck warm, better than the RIVER ROAD BLACK BALACLAVA : 120-0415,
BADBOB Posted:
rjones570 Posted:
Kept me warm in 40 degree weather. My only complaint is that it is a one size fits all and it was very tight on my face. Hoping it loosens up just a little.
howee Posted:
Have rode at highway speeds with the ntemp in the teens the balaclava kept me warm but is thin enough to wear under a helmet comfortably i highly reccomend this product to everyone
glbashford Posted:
Awesome Product... I highly recommend it, very very warm on my Harley.
keith57 Posted:
made for small guys , big guys will be dissapointed
shrek185 Posted:
I wish it were long enough to tuck in my jacket . my lower neck is still exsposed
tattooez2 Posted:
I think it is grat for those cold riding days.
thomast2020 Posted:
I love this quality balaclave, it took the chill out of my cold morning Michigan commutes to work, fits great under my helmet. It conforms perfect to face and neck.
howee Posted:
this face mask is the best i have found light weight but keeps you very warm i highly recommend this for anyone that is crazy enough like me to ride when it is cooooold outside
Shadowrider41 Posted:
Keeps you warm, however stitching came apart around face cutout after only one washing!
evewasduped Posted:
This is an essential for any saddle bag. If you are like me and leave for work before dawn, but come home in the afternoon, you don't like to miss out on a ride just because the morning is a little chilly. This balaclava is thin, but very warm. Just what it takes to keep your neck warm!
veggiefarmer Posted:
How can anyone ride in cold weather without one of these!

NYT Q&A with Stacey Allaster on medical timeouts, doping, more
Q. and A. With the WTAs Stacey Allaster
MELBOURNE, Australia It was a news-making Australian Open for womens tennis with the emergence of young talent, a major upset of Serena Williams by the 19-year-old Sloane Stephens and a controversy over medical timeouts involving the eventual champion Victoria Azarenka. More developments lie ahead with the Womens Tennis Association still searching for new sponsorship and preparing to start official site visits for the five candidate cities bidding to stage the W.T.A. Championships beginning in 2014. The intent is to announce the winner in April. On the eve of the womens final in Melbourne, Stacey Allaster, the chairman and chief executive of the WTA, discussed the state of the game. An edited version of that interview: Q. Some exciting new womens players have really emerged here, particularly from the United States with Sloane Stephens, Madison Keys and Jamie Hampton. Thoughts? A. Its been a great open for that. Sloanes the whole package, and theyll all just push each other. Laura Robson and Heather Watson will do the same. And theres also Ash Barty, a good young player I hadnt seen before. Q. What did you think about the medical timeout controversy with Azarenka against Stephens? What needs to happen in the aftermath? A. I know Vika pretty well, and shes a good girl. And I think she probably just thought Im going to play through this and get through it and that game was just too much and she had to call it. Probably in hindsight she would have done it differently and then after that, I think its the judgment of the medical experts. Its their responsibility to ensure the health and well-being of the athlete. They made a determination that she needed a medical treatment and followed it and according to the rules. Its not Vikas fault it took 10 minutes. Q. Still, consecutive medical timeouts are very unusual. A. For sure. I dont have the details on that. I just know the medical experts followed the medical timeout according to the rules, but certainly there is always something that happens in a situation like this. And the supervisors will have a debrief after a Slam to review it. Does something need to be modified for the future? Well see. On the WTA, we obviously have different rules. We put a limit on the number of medical timeouts you could have in a calendar year in the WTA. Its six and if they need more, they pay a fee, and theres nothing like attaching monetary deterrent to an athlete because they dont want to pay so we actually saw a reduction in our medical timeouts once we instituted our rule a couple years ago. Q. What about the notion that you should not be able to take a medical timeout like that before someone elses serve unless its a true emergency? Should the rule be tightened? A. Look, I agree with Vika that it wasnt the ideal time. Possibly, if that rule was like that then that would have encouraged Vika to take it earlier, but I bet you she just thought, Im going to play through this. And it got to be too much. Its not like a team sport where you can take somebody out and keep it going. If you are the doctor and someone cant breathe and its 40 degrees out there, you have to treat that seriously. So we have to trust those people and respect that its controversial and that its not crystal clear to us so we have to go with the medical expert and their opinion. Q. Word is, you are close to a major sponsorship deal after a long search. True? A. Im really optimistic. In my year-end address I mentioned that I was optimistic we might have one or two new global partners. I remain optimistic. Stay tuned. Q. Your perspective on the ongoing negotiations with the Grand Slam tournaments over getting big increases in prize money? A. Were working directly with each Grand Slam. I think obviously Tennis Australia stepped up here. The French Open is making a big effort. Q. Have heard theyre talking about a big increase perhaps as much as $10 million Euros total over the next three years? A. I think everyone is working hard at fairly compensating our athletes and it remains to be seen where we get to with Wimbledon and the U.S. Open and the final proposal and plan that the French Open comes with. I must say that the Slams have heard the athletes and its always going to be a pathway to getting there and now we have to see if they come through but certainly Tennis Australia hit it out of the park. They did a good job. Q. Did the Grand Slam leaders meeting with the WTA players in Istanbul at your championships last year make a difference? A. Yes. The athletes are key to this business and the Slams need to chat with them and hear them and what their concerns are. It was very constructive and thats where those conversations need to stay. Keep it in the boardroom and not in the media and lets see where we get to. Q. I spoke with International Tennis Federation president Francesco Ricci Bitti, who said that tennis is serious about trying to upgrade its antidoping efforts. He is backing the introduction of the biological passport used by cycling and track and field. Where does the WTA stand? A. I think were completely open to ensuring that our sport stays clean and if more investment is required then thats something we are absolutely committed to, so I think coming out of this Slam, the tennis antidoping group is going to sit and look and be prudent about how we go forward. Its obviously a very sophisticated area. Q. How much pressure does the Lance Armstrong case put on tennis? A. I mean its just so unfair to all professional athletes and everyone in sport, that this one guy can cast now this black cloud over athletes that are clean. And our program is very good. It doesnt mean we dont have to stay diligent and keep fighting at it and making sure it stays at the very best, but its a tragedy what he did to sports, himself, his family. I watched that interview, and I thought, How could you do that to your kids? How do you do that? Those kids, how are they going to grow up? Its tragic. Theres also the good, humanitarian in him so its just messed up, big time. But I dont know how a sport keeps that quiet for that many years with that many people involved. Q. So should tennis push forward with a biological passport program? A. If thats what we need to do, yes. Im a neophyte in the technical aspects of it. We have the whereabouts program. Weve got better sophistication now and probably the next level for us is to look at the passport and more blood testing. Q. Are the top women being tested enough out of competition or better to increase that for your own sense of due diligence? A. If the experts who deal with this come back and say, This is our recommendation on the way forward, and we want to take our program up to two notches and if thats what it means, Im supportive and our athletes will be, as well. Q. Li Na back in a Grand Slam final. Whats the impact for womens tennis in and out of China? A. Shes a national hero and nothing like being able to go to the dance again so I think people will rally around her. By 2014, were going to have five events in China plus three 125s. Thats eight events. Were really starting to have a footprint there so its going to be helpful. Q. Have read speculation that there may be need for another head this year for the WTA. That was very surprising based on your recent comments. Any truth in that? A. I was shocked by that myself. I definitely read it. I just started a new five-year contract and had the best annual review I ever had. Theres nothing youre missing. Q. Brad Drewett, your counterpart at the ATP, has just announced hes suffering from Lou Gehrigs disease and plans to step down. I know you know him well. A. Its brutal. Its horrific. It snaps you back and brings you back to reality. Hes a good guy, a very good guy, and its just not fair. http://straightsets.blogs.nytimes.co...E3D7B6132431C5 |

Mini Bio (1)
There aren't many actors who can claim that they appeared in everything from innocuous family features to sexy soft-core smut to popular television programs to various horror, science fiction and exploitation movies as well as worked behind-the-scenes on a slew of films in assorted production capacities throughout the course of their careers. The exceptionally talented and versatile George "Buck" Flower did all this and more during a remarkably busy, diverse, and impressive career that spanned 35 years and over a 100 movies as a character actor alone. Flower was born on October 28, 1937, in the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon. He enlisted in the army as a teenager and enrolled at Eastern Oregon College following his military service. Flower then moved to California and attended Pasadena City College. He soon became a member of the repertory theater group The Inspiration Players and stayed with the group for twelve years. The theater company toured Alaska and all 48 continental United States. Flower first started acting in movies in the early 1970s in the blithely lowbrow soft-core outings Country Cuzzins (1970), Below the Belt (1971), and The Dirty Mind of Young Sally (1973) for legendary trash flick filmmaker Harry H. Novak. Portly and grizzled, with a rumpled face, a scraggly beard, an engagingly rough-around-the-edges demeanor, and a deep, thick, heavy drawling rumble of a throaty voice, Flower was often cast as grubby bums, sloppy drunks, grouchy old guys, and scruffy rednecks. Among the notable directors Flower appeared in countless films for are Matt Cimber, Jim Wynorski, Don Edmonds (he's in the first two notoriously nasty "Ilsa" movies acting under the alias C.D. LaFleure), William Lustig, Bill Rebane, David DeCoteau, Bethel Buckalew, Jack Starrett, Nick Phillips, Anthony Hickox, and Fred Olen Ray. Flower achieved his greatest popularity with his terrific contributions to a handful of John Carpenter features: he's an ill-fated fisherman in The Fog (1980); a bum in Escape from New York (1981); a crusty cook in Starman (1984); excellent as the rags-to-riches bum Drifter in They Live (1988); another bum in the "Unleaded" segment of the horror anthology Body Bags (1993); and a boozy high school janitor in Village of the Damned (1995). Flower's other memorable roles include the cantankerous forest-dwelling hermit Boomer in the "Wilderness Family" pictures, a detective in The Witch Who Came from the Sea (1976), a corrupt vice cop in The Candy Tangerine Man (1975), a machete-brandishing lunatic in Drive In Massacre (1977), an irascible old coot in Relentless (1989), a senile janitor in Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (1988), the stern patriarch of a mountain family in Pumpkinhead (1988), a grouchy handyman in Bloody Pom Poms (1988), a gregarious railroad worker in The Alpha Incident (1978), a homeless man on a park bench in Back to the Future (1985) (Flower reprised this part in the first sequel), an ill-kept hick in A Small Town in Texas (1976), a peppery camp caretaker in Berserker (1987) and a hillbilly hunter in Skeeter (1993). Flower had guest spots on the TV shows The Dukes of Hazzard (1979), Flo (1980), NYPD Blue (1993), ER (1994), and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993). In addition to his substantial acting credits, Flower also was the casting director for The Witch Who Came from the Sea (1976) and Tiger Man (1983), served as a producer on such features as Hell's Belles (1995), Takin' It Off Out West (1995), The Night Stalker (1987), and Up Yours (1979), handled second unit director chores on The Lonely Lady (1983), Bare Knuckles (1977), and Teenage Innocence (1973), and even co-wrote the scripts for such movies as Wooly Boys (2001), Party Plane (1991), Death Falls (1991), In Search of a Golden Sky (1984), Joyride to Nowhere (1977), Drive In Massacre (1977), and Teenage Seductress (1975). He's the father of actress/costume designer Verkina Flower. George "Buck" Flower died of cancer at age 66 on June 18, 2004. Although the "Buck" may have sadly stopped, George "Buck" Flower's extraordinary cinematic legacy shall continue to live on and entertain film fans all over the world for all eternity.

Help & Advice
How to guides
How to add an external power supply
If you regularly use electrical equipment outdoors, such as a lawmower or hedge trimmer, an external power point will make life easier and safer. Importantly, it should feature a residual current device (RCD) that will help to protect you from the risk of fatal electric shock.
Turning inside out with outdoor lighting effects
Warm summer evenings are all about spending time outdoors. Once dusk falls it's often time to move the party indoors. But have you ever thought of bringing the indoors out?
