The Keeper's Gallery
The Keeper's Gallery is an on site exhibition space which showcases highlights from The National Archives. The 'Keeper' is the guardian and head of the archive. The gallery displays a wide selection of treasures including records related to British history, family history and significant global events, as well as intriguing stories from the archive itself.
In the centre of the gallery is the 'More than words: Documents that shaped Britain and the world' exhibit. Here you will find a selection of documents - some well known, some not - that illustrate how records from our collection have changed and influenced our understanding of country, culture and constitution, not only here in the UK, but around the world.
The material on display changes regularly.

Thursday 07 May 2015, 14:00-14:30
Please meet at the welcome desk five minutes before the tour start time. Each tour group will take a maximum of 12 people on a first come, first served basis.
Visitor information
The Keeper's Gallery is free and is open 09:00-17:00, Tuesday-Saturday. It is located on the ground floor of The National Archives.
For preservation reasons light levels are kept low in certain areas of the gallery and some documents on display are facsimiles. Please note, as we have generally made the space brighter and increased the ambient temperature of the gallery we are no longer able to provide the right environment to have Domesday permanently on display. Instead, there is a new rotating exhibit in the central part of the gallery that will feature Domesday for approximately six months every five years. There is currently a replica of Domesday on display.
You can find, and contribute to, Wikipedia entries about some of our displays using QR codes. However, you will need to download an app to access QR codes before you visit The National Archives as you cannot download apps over our free public wifi.

Re: Power tool for sanding toe rail
I took my teak toe rails down to bare wood 2 yrs ago. After trying a few options I had the best luck using a cheap heat gun (under $20 at big box store) and very good quality scrapers. The scrapers are available at better marine stores and woodworking shops, these are not the paint scapers you get at the hardware store. They will leave a very smoth surface that can be hand sanded to finish the job quickly. Carfull use of a small finish sander with fine grit paper worked too, the Black and Decker mouse worked very well. I found any power sander took too long on the old varnish, but also tended to take off too much material it got close to bare wood.

Sylvie kindly met me at the station in Agde and took me to the apartment, which is about 3 km away at Cap d'Agde. Buses run regularly between the two, L3 and L4. Using the maps and guides provided Sylvie showed me what was where in the area and was generous with her time answering my questions.
The apartment itself was spotless and well equipped for a short stay, with microwave and double hob, though no oven.
Security is good, with a coded gate to the complex, an exterior door and double locks on the apartment itself. Basic shopping is very handy and was open in January, when most of the facilities on the marina were closed. No doubt the whole area goes through a character change in the summer, but the winter was quiet and a good time to appreciate the natural beauty of the foreshore and beaches.
I look forward to returning.
Silvie gave us a very warm welcome and was very flexible about the fact that we arrived two days earlier. The studio was very clean and had everything we needed. It was also very well located.
We spent a week in Sylvie's studio in Agde. It was a lovely, extremely clean apartment with all the necessary appliances. We arranged to meet with another person who let us into the studio, explained how everything worked, and let us be. Sylvie came by mid week to make sure everything was ok. Sylvie also has printed lists of instructions in English and French on how the appliances work, what the policies are, check out procedures, etc. This was very helpful, especially explaining that a light switch must be turned on in the kitchen for the appliances to work! The studio is 5 minutes from the dockside quay of Cap d'agde with all the restaurants, 10 mins walk to Plage mole and the other beaches. The only problem we had was hat on certain days the garbage trucks would come by a bit early for us, but that was the only downside during the week. This is a lovely place to stay and I would recommend this very highly to anyone. We traveled as a couple- having more people might be a little tight. We would gladly stay there again.
Je suis très contente de mon séjour dans l'appartement de Sylvie. Il est tout à fait conforme à l'annonce publiée sur le site. Il est très lumineux et la décoration agréable. Surtout, il est idéalement situé, juste à côté du port, des boutiques et à environ 10 min à pied de la plage. C'est un endroit parfait pour de petites vacances en amoureux !
Aardige dame. Communicatie verliep perfect en Sylvie wachte ons op in het app. Wij kregen de beschikking over een parkeerplaats terwijl die niet inbegrepen was. Nogmaals bedankt.
Sylvie est très amicale et nous nous somme senti comme chez nous. Dans le studio, rien ne nous a manqué, il était exactement comme la description. Meublé et décoré avec beaucoup de goût et très nouveau, le studio est parfait pour 2 personnes et il est bien situé (très proche du port et des plages). Toutes les commodités sont proches. Nous le recommandons vivement à tous ceux qui souhaitent se balader dans la région. Très recommandable!!!

"Just as fashion tricks like wearing black or pinstripes make you look slimmer, the right hairstyle can also make your face seem thinner," says star coiffeur Oscar Blandi. "If you have long hair, don't wear it longer than your chest, and create movement with layers that frame your face."
"Avoid straight lines in your haircuts when you're trying to look thinner," says Blandi. "Rather, create a soft curve around your cheekbones and eyes. We have a tendency to look at the nose and eyes, so when you soften this part of the face, it becomes more attractive and appealing."

Computer Human Interface
TrueTouch touchscreen solution
By Kyle Sherer
June 24, 2008
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. has launched the TrueTouch touchscreen, a single-chip model that can interpret up to 10 inputs from all areas of the screen simultaneously. The "multi-touch all point" feature could be used for inputting multiple locations into a GPS, gaming, keyboard implementations, or the efficient adjustment of sound and video settings. Read More

The first commercial Brain Computer Interface
By Mike Hanlon
February 21, 2008
The Computer-Human Interface has a new heavyweight contender technology - brain computer interface technology pioneer Emotiv Systems will have its EPOC neuroheadset to market before Christmas 2008. The lightweight US$300 EPOC is worn on the head but does not restrict movement in any way as it is wireless. The set detects conscious thoughts, expressions and non-conscious emotions based on electrical signals around the brain. It opens up a plethora of new applications which can be controlled with our thoughts, expressions and emotions, including for example, the prospect of live animation using the unit's facial recognition sensors to mimic a gameplayer's facial expressions in an animated avatar.

Efforts to combine the sheer convenience of the pen as an input device with the benefits of digital technology continue to evolve with Livescribe's launch of the Pulse Smartpen. Based on licensed technology from pioneering digital pen developer Anoto, the Pulse not only digitally captures handwriting, but simultaneously records and synchronizes audio. The system promises incredible benefits for students, professionals or anyone in a note taking situation... and that's just the beginning. Everything you hear, speak or write is captured by the Pulse and by tapping the pen on the paper, the system will replay audio coinciding with the moment those notes were taken. Read More
Next-gen acoustic modeling: developing the keyboards of the future
By Loz Blain
December 19, 2007
December 20, 2007 It's fair to say the computer keyboard has done a pretty sensational job over the last 20+ years as the primary input device we've been using – but that doesn't mean nobody's searching for the next big thing. Voice recognition and speech-to-text software is developing to the point where it's now a genuine option – and a group of European scientists are working on some very interesting technology that uses acoustic wave reading to turn ANY surface into a primary input device that can read handwriting or be used in any number of different and configurable ways. The technology can take a wall, table, or floor and turn it into a musical instrument, a touchpad, a keyboard or a tablet-style interface. And it's even being trialled on three-dimensional objects.

Surface computing meets home automation: ROSIE Coffee table touch-panel
By Emily Clark
September 4, 2007
September 5, 2007 Surface computing is moving full steam ahead and this latest release from Savant is another reminder that even the wireless mouse is becoming an outmoded piece of technology. The ROSIE Coffee Table Touchpanel Controller offers an easily accessible interface for home automation coupled with interactive multimedia capabilities, connecting to iTunes, digital cameras, IP network cameras, business card readers and various high-tech devices around the home. Read More
UPDATED IMAGES June 30, 2007 We all know the keyboard and mouse are NOT the future of the computer human interface, and to be frank, we're getting a bit sick of waiting for a replacement capable of generating critical mass. One device with the potential to play a role in the next generation interface, at least in the area of computer games, began shipping this month. Novint Technologies' highly anticipated, award-winning Novint Falcon game controller is now available in a special Limited Edition bundle. The Falcon is an entirely new type of 3D game interface that makes virtual objects and environments feel real. Replacing a computer mouse or joystick, the US$190 Falcon is, essentially a small robot that lets you feel shape, weight, texture, dimension, dynamics, 3D motion, and force effects when playing enabled games.

Neural input device hints at gaming revolution
June 5, 2007
June 6, 2007 It is perhaps the most sought after technological goal in the digital age, an interface that will allow you to throw away the humble keyboard and mouse and take control of your computer by simply thinking. The latest foray into this rapidly evolving field is the Neural Impulse Actuator, a gaming interface prototype unveiled at Computex 2007 that reads brain signals instead of keyboard strokes to provide a hands-free computer control. Read More
June 4, 2007 We've long been excited by the possibilities offered by wearable micro-screens. The ability to mount a miniature display in a set of glasses opens up a whole new portable video experience where any seat on the bus can be a personal movie theatre and you'll be able to enjoy your video in complete privacy. Now, with the anouncement of a volume manufacturing facility in Dresden, Germany, MicroEmissive Displays (MED) is ready to step beyond the prototype and bring commercial microscreens into the mass market. They'll start things off with mass production of the eyescreen ME3204, a 320 x 240 RGB display packed into a 6mm pixel array. It's tiny, bright and clear, with ultra-low power consumption, and the wearer sees the equivalent of a 30" screen at a 2 metre distance. Read More

21.07.07 - By Iyzaslav Slava Koza: There is a new blood and guts warrior to take the place of retired boxer Arturo Gatti and his name is Michael Katsidis. Cut and bloodied in every place on his face that one can imagine the Greek Aussie didnt stop punching until his body gave out in the way of a vicious 10th round assault spurred on by the notion that the ringside doctor could stop the fight.
If I were Czar Amonsot, I might be angry with the doctor because Katsidis was basically on autopilot once he heard the bout could be stopped and he could end up with a loss.
The fight started furiously with Katsidis moving forward and throwing short looping right hands on the button and the Filipino Amonsot boxing and looking to dictate the pace. Unfortunately for the loser the Aussie, a showman with an apparent fetish for wearing Brad Pitts attire from Troy, Katsidis wasnt even aware that the Amonsat was trying to stop him.
At the end of the 2nd of two rounds already packed with action, Katsidis came back to his corner with swelling all over the left side of his eye, including most of the eyelid. The cuts on the left side of his face were clearly trying to show up the ones on the right. Were it not for them, and make no mistake about it, skill level of his opponent, Katsidis would have probably been charged with manslaughter. In the second round, already sensing he was in danger of being TKOed on cuts Katsidis landed a huge counter to put his opponent down. Showing guts of his own Amonsat got on and survived the hard KD.
What resulted from then up to the tenth were ebbs and flows the like that would make Cotto, Judah, Pavlik, and Miranda jealous, and could very well have cemented the bout as candidate for fight of the year. At the end of the period it seemed impossible that Katsidis was still fighting with those cuts, and even more so that they had gotten worse and did not hinders his intensity from diminishing much at all. Unfortunately for Amonsot, as mentioned, the doctor at ringside in the Aussies corner sealed his fate by telling Katsidis he could end up with a loss. Coming out like a man possessed, Katsidis landed as flush and as hard as he had up to that point in the spectacular contest and put an absolutely reeling Amonsot down with the follow up barrage. Were it not for the will and courage of Katsidis Amonsots own heart in surviving that charge and lasting through that round would make him a legend in his own right.
Both men obviously spent and the result of the fight mostly not in doubt, seeing as Katsidis would win if he was allowed to last the 12, the championship rounds were disappointing relative to the rest. Katsidis, obviously spent from the huge 10th round, mostly moved and posed, while Amonsot still thinking about the devastating beating, he took in the tenth cautious to go for the KO. In the last minute of the last round, Katsidis sensing the doctors were probably cheering him on and would allow him to finish, risked a bit more then in the previous five minutes and put a pleasant cherry on an already fight of the year candidate pie.
The scores were unanimous and so should be the praise from every true fan of boxing. The only question should be whens the next Katsidis fight?

--Last week NBC cancelled three of the best written comedies on network TV by axing Community, Parks & Recreation and 30 Rock in one Al Dunlap-style house cleaning. Word is canning this trio has made room for another Matthew Perry comedy vehicle which is kinda like the San Diego Chargers giving Norv Turner one more chance...oh wait... I mean, what the Hell, why not give Jenna Elfman another sitcom while were at it? Or did they do that already and call it Whitney? Additionally NBC announced that Anne Heche will be given one of the newly opened 30 minute Thursday night spots though this may be more of a "pity pilot" due to Ms. Heche previously being diagnosed with what the medical profession calls "crazyballs". Good luck with all that, if it's even possible to fall to 5th in the ratings you're well on your way.
--In other Reality TV/pseudo-Sports news production is under way for the Bikini Hockey League because when most people look at the NHL they think, "not bad, but if only there was more chance for hypothermia and nipples that could cut glass..." Plans are for the "too-ugly for The Bachelor" contestants to live together in a mansion while they compete for spots on the handful of proposed teams before returning to their respective poles when the whole thing tanks. If nothing else it should give new meaning to such Hockey lingo as "butt-ending", "5-hole" and "putting the biscuit in the basket". If you're interested I'd suggest keeping abreast (pun intended) of, I'm guessing, the Versus Network schedule for the debut episode.
Looking at the skimpy bottoms I'm not sure I want to see this league's take on the "Playoff Beard"...
--QUICK HITS: Odd to hear that the broken zip-line incident that led to a case of flesh eating bacteria occurred in Georgia...cause when I hear "flesh eating bacteria" I automatically think "Guatemala". Is that wrong?...Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was married on Saturday once again confirming my long held belief that making lots of money does not necessarily mean you are smarter...And finally the MLB firing of Ryan Braun steriod case arbritrator Shyam Das was sadly not big enough news for the New York tabloid papers to go with my suggested back page headline "DAS BOOT-ED". I have no more to add since I never actually saw the 1981 critically acclaimed German psychological thriller and have been told by the Film & Theatre teacher here at school that the hotel room rental of Das Booty I once purchased is only remotely related to the original.
And with this on to baseball...
--On May 6th Phillies starter Cole Hamels drilled Nationals rookie OF Bryce Harper with a pitch for what many claimed was no apparent reason though others might conclude merely coming to the park with this Coon-Skin hat of a haircut (refresh page if pic doesn't show) and enough eye black to frighten The Missing Linkwould be reason enough. Most likely Hamels plunked the phenom as some sort of "hazing/right of passage" type deal which considering Harper trotted to first, later stole home with the game's first run and Hamels ended up with a five game suspension wasn't exactly the most "team first" move he could've made.
Let's start by saying the whole idea of mean-spirited hazing of this nature is stupid. It reminds us of those news reports you hear every so often of new recruits getting sodomized at a high school football training camp or military school. First off when did sticking things up another guy's ass outside of Spring Break at Fire Island become an all-join-in recreational activity. And secondly if, as psychologists tell us, this is the hetrosexual BMOCs way of protecting their turf wouldn't it come to backfire when word got out about what was taking place and every Glee-ed up, friend of Dorothy in the school was trying out for the team?
This whole incident also gave the Neanderthal-ish John Kruk another chance to trot out the riduculous old school story of how if you so much as hit a hard foul ball against guys like Sal "The Barber" Maglie you'd wind up having to dust off your baggy flannels the next time you stepped up to the plate. I assume this theory is based on the idea that if you can't do your job well then nobody should which is just plain dumb. If you don't want guys to hit homeruns off you here's an idea...make better pitches. Don't make the problem worse by getting behind in the count or giving up a free baserunner next time around in an effort to massage your misplaced macho ego.
Now this doesn't mean that every hurler has to turn into the Marquis of Queensbury on the mound. If an opponent is thought to be throwing at your teammate then certainly retaliation is deserved. Similiarly, if a batter stands at the plate admiring his HR like he's auditioning to play an extra in the remake of Close Encounters of the Third Kind then again plunk away. Or in short as Steve Martin's character advised John Candy's Del Griffith about telling a story in Planes, Trains & Automobiles ...have a point. And if the Phillies miss the playoffs or a Division title by one game remember it may just be a suspension forced Kyle Kendrick fill-in start that tipped the balance.
--Ever since the Nationals drafted Stephen Strasburg the baseball media has been in David Clyde meets Todd Van Poppel style overdrive hype mode. And now that Strasburg is delivering on his promise in a full season, blinkers off the pitch count scenario pundits are looking everywhere from the ill-fated Herb Score to the coke-sated Dwight Gooden for rookie pitcher comps and still finding them all wanting.
So how good is Strasburg? Well before you go all Sidd Finch on us consider this...Strasburg and Clayton Kershaw were born 4 months apart. Had they both declared for the draft in 2006 it's debatable who would've went first, but Strasburg opted for 3 years at San Diego State before bursting on the scene. Kershaw struggled with some control issues early on, but is now the reigning NL Cy Young and flat-out nasty. Strasburg's learning curve was shortened by the polish and maturity he gained in college ball...and lo and behold there they are this year with identical 4-1 records. They've both walked 13 and while Strasburg has a dozen more Ks Kershaw tops him in ERA.
So in other words Stephen Strasburg is Clayton Kershaw 2.0 and that's damn good, but he's not going to change the way the game's played. That said combined with talented, young hurlers Jordan Zimmerman and Gio Gonzalez the Nats have a formidable Big 3. Here's hoping 24 year-old, potential lights-out closer Drew Storen returns by the All Star break and management is not afraid to upgrade the offense come trade deadline time. If so there could be meaningful Fall baseball in our nation's capital for the first time since Goose Goslin and The Big Train roamed the diamonds.
--So like everything else surounding the under-achieving Angels this year writers would have us believe that the recent firing of batting coach Mickey Hatcher is really "All About Albert". However, like most things in life and everything in politics this is only partially true. So let's play "What's Albert's Fault in Anaheim" and try to decide if there's any hope that this whole thing won't turn out to be the biggest bust outta Disneyland since John Carter:
1. Pujols Slump-ALL ABOUT ALBERT: This would seem pretty self-evident, but apparently it's not. Everyone from Angel management to ESPN talking heads to most recently Alex Rodriguez has weighed in with the theory that Pujols poor early season numbers are related to moving to the AL. Once he adjusts to the pitchers and umpires, Ball Girls and blades of grass in the Junior Circuit, they say, a finely honed athlete like Albert will go on a prolonged tear. Hmmm, it doesn't seem to be bothering a fat, pantload like Prince Fielder that much. Nor did it stop Adrian Gonzalez from posting career numbers in Boston last year. Sure there are examples that back this idea up, but all this arguing does is obscure some very real warning signs that cropped up in Pujols' numbers last year.
For most of this year the story that dogged Pujols was when/if he was going to hit his first HR. When he finally did in Game #29 the highlight was run as often as the Shawshank Redemption on TNT complete with head twisting shots of Blue Jays starter Drew Hutchinson repeated ad nauseum until you'd think someone had just shot him with a high-powered rifle from the 2nd floor of the Toronto Book Depository. Once that was out of the way everyone thought Albert would go back to being Albert, but it hasn't been quite that easy. Fourteen more games later he has a couple additional HRs, but still sports an OPS not seen in Anaheim since the days of Dave Chalk and Rance Mulliniks to go along with a .253 OBP.
And while everyone looks at the power numbers the latter figure may be the biggest concern. Looking back the most notable number from 2011 may be that Pujols walked only 61 times, the lowest total of his career and the first time he was under 90 walks since 2005. Even if you try to mitigate this by pointing to time missed due to a broken wrist, as a percentage number things were even worse with his .366 OBP representing the worst On-Base tally of his career by 28 points and only the second time the figure dipped below .400 (2002-.394). Indicating that either he's expanding the zone and trying to do too much or that pitchers weren't as worried about pitching to him as they were putting on another runner and pitching to Matt Holliday who by the way will not be signing a $254 million contract any time soon.
Albert's doubles, SLG% & OPS were also career lows. Solid numbers all, but still below the standards of Pujols himself and the contract he signed. No doubt things will get better as the season progresses, but unless it's of an other-worldly nature this will likely pull the Halos from next to last in the AL in runs scored to the middle of the pack which wasn't enough to allow them to catch the Rangers or even make the playoffs the last two years.
2. Angels Record (18-25)-ABOUT HALF ABOUT ALBERT: In 2011 the Angels won 86 games, but still fell 10 games short of the division and 5 shy of the WC. The club finished 2nd in the AL in Runs Allowed, but a dismal 10th in Runs Scored. Despite the addition of C.J. Wilson offense was the real concern this off-season. In many ways it would seem things have improved considerably. Mark Trumbo is crushing the ball, Mike Trout arrived and excelled, Vernon Wells has improved from abysmal to mediocre, Kendry Morales is back and hitting over .300 and C Chris Ianetta despite a Tom Egan-esque BA has clubbed 3 HRs and drawn double digit walks in 77 Plate Appearances something it took Jeff Mathis a full season and nearly 300 PAs to do last year. With Macier Izturis/Alberto Callaspo taking some of the sting out of a slumping Erick Aybar that leaves Pujols seemingly holding the bag for much of the run scoring blues.
On the other hand Pujols is scoring baserunners that are on in his At Bats at about the same percentage he always has (18%). The problem is he's on pace to see far fewer on than at any time in St. Louis as Anaheim languishes 12th in the AL with an OBP of only .305. Throw in a bunch of shaky starts from Ervin Santana and the usually consistent Dan Haren along with a few blown leads by the bullpen and it can't be all Albert's fault. Nonetheless the team is third in the AL in Runs Allowed and if Pujols was just playing to the numbers of the average MLB First Baseman Anaheim might be at or over .500 which is why we're giving him a good share, but not all the blame.
--Mickey Hatcher Firing-ONLY A LITTLE ABOUT ALBERT: Our theory on this may surprise some who have been reading sportswriters trying laboriously to link a public spat between the Batting Coach and Pujols from late April to Hatcher's firing. But we're not buying it and instead feel the writing was on the wall this off-season when owner Arte Moreno cleaned out the front office after twice missing the playoffs while getting passed like a Yugo on the Autobahn by Texas in the AL West.
Jerry DiPoto was brought over from the Diamondbacks to be GM and immediately announced that he wasn't just establishing an Analytical group (read Sabermetric) in the front office, but turning the entire front office into an Analytical group. Immediately gone were the days of slap-hitting, base stealers like Chone Figgins and Reggie Willits at power positions. Mark Trumbo was moved to 3B despite fielding trepidations, Sciosia favorite and noted game-caller Jeff Mathis was shipped to Toronto in favor of the power and eye of Ianetta and the slow starting Peter Bourjos quickly gave way to Baseball Prospectus cover boy Trout.
Whether these moves work is another question, but they are a step in a new direction. Hatcher, on the other hand, represented the old bunting, base stealing, free swinging Angels who in the last 12 years only finished in the top 3 in OBP once, but in the bottom 3rd on four different occasions. Pujols certainly didn't help Hatcher's case any as we pointed out above, but if the Angels batting coach had been one of a more Sabermetric-friendly approach he probably would've survived the ax.
So where does this all leave our beloved Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim? Offensively things should improve as Pujols heats up, but they need to come a long way to get to respectable from their current place of 13th and 12th in the AL in Runs and OPS respectively. That's with Trumbo going off, the 20 year old Trout playing like an All-Star and Morales trying to return from over a year and a half on the DL. Regression, pitcher adjustment and fatigue could sap the numbers of all three meaning in the end this O may not be much better than 2011.
Pitching-wise it would be hard to improve on their last year's #1 in ERA and 2 in Runs Allowed not to mention the 34-18 record they got out of Jered Weaver/Dan Haren. And so far they haven't ranking 7 in ERA, 3 in RA along with Haren dragging down Weaver into a mere 7-6 record. Additionally the staff loses on defense where Trout is a downgrade from the leather-necked Bourjos and to get Pujols/Morales/Trumbo all in the lineup one of the latter two has to don a glove and that's a Catch-22...as in if you hit 100 flyballs/groundballs in their direction they'd probably catch 22.
Toss in the fact that their current closer is the less than athletic 36 year old Scott Downs, a player who has one AB in the last 8 years and that resulted in a 3 month DL stint, and it's easy to see possible holes cropping up in the pen as well. Frankly all this seems to add up to about what they did last year which left them 4 games behind Boston for the then mythical 5th playoff spot. They're not going to catch Texas, but with the Yankees and Red Sox coming back to the pack and the Blue Jays, Orioles, Indians and White Sox improving everyone should be knocking each other off leaving a wild scramble for the two AL WC spots. Being somewhere among those scramblers is probably the best Anaheim can hope for in 2012.
Wear as little clothes as you like I'm still siding with the Rangers in this matchup.
If you're so inclined become a Follower at the icon on the top right. Additionally check back more often as we are going to drop the long-winded dissertations and just throw out the low-brow humor and off-center analysis whenever if passes through our cerebral transom meaning more, but shorter posts. And no we won't skimp on the pictures. Thanks for playing...

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) urban unit celebrated the party formation day in a grand manner.
TDP urban president K. Nagul Meera, TDP Vijayawada Parliamentary constituency in-charge Kesineni Srinivas (Nani) and others garlanded the statue of TDP founder president N.T. Rama Rao at NTR Circle here on Friday.
On the occasion, Mr. Nani said that NTR founded the party at a time when the people were facing hardship under atrocious rule of Congress.
The party faced many ups and downs during last 32 years and won the hearts of millions of people. Though it was a regional party, the TDP played a pivotal role in national politics. It was partner in alliance governments and guiding light for the governments at centre. The cadre were the biggest support to the party, he said, adding the TDP would romp home in 2014 elections.
Mr. Meera said that TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu promised to earmark 100 seats to BCs in the party's BC declaration. The dalit could become speaker of parliament only because of the TDP. The party also provided 33 per cent reservation to women in local bodies, and took many revolutionary decisions, he said.
Telugu Desam Party formation day was celebrated at its district office here under the aegis of party urban president B. Srinivas Yadav, District Cooperative Central Bank Chairman M. Venkata Subbaiah and District Cooperative Marketing Society Chairman I. Sambasiva Rao.
On the occasion, Mr. Srinivas Yadav said N.T. Rama Rao had enhanced the pride of Telugu people and improved the living conditions of poor people by implementing various schemes like distributing a kilogram of rice for just Rs. 2 under the PDS.
He steered the TDP to power within just six months of its formation, which is a feat not accomplished by any other party. More importantly, his foray into politics halted the surge of Congress which did little for the masses.
Mr. Venkata Subbaiah said the benefits of welfare schemes had reached the targeted sections during the TDP regime, unlike in the present dispensation which has become synonymous with corruption and scandals.
Party leaders Y. Durga Rao, former MLA S.M. Ziauddin, and others participated. Earlier, leaders hoisted the party flag and paid floral tributes to NTR.

And for My Next Trick: Pay-as-you-Go Insurance
We've talked about some of the tax preparations you should make, so I thought we'd move on to another sexy topic…insurance!
It's not the most exciting thing to think about, but all the more reason to make sure it's taken care of and as little a hassle as possible. You need to make sure everything is up to date, so be sure to give your provider or providers a call.
Make life easier
- A great way to do this is through pay-as-you-go workers' compensation insurance. Unlike the old model, where you paid a big premium based on your employees and risks involved in doing business, it's a bimonthly payment where the risks are known not guessed. The key to this method is you're not ponying up a large sum of cash at the beginning of the year or facing a surprise at the end of the year with an audit.
Paying taxes and insurance are among the business owner's most painstaking tasks, but they're necessary evils you can't afford to let slip.

Obama's Grave Misstep on YouTube Video
White House censure attempt fuels Islamist logic
Earlier today, the White House asked YouTube to review "The Innocence of Muslims," the anti-Islamic film that has been at the center of anti-American riots in several Arab capitals this week, and consider its removal from the popular site. To hear the administration say it, the film–an embarrassingly silly affair with green screens, fake beards, and obvious dubbings delivering its most noxious lines—is the real reason behind the recent spate of outrage.
"It is in response to a video, a film, that we have judged to be reprehensible and disgusting," said White House press secretary Jay Carney. "That in no way justifies any violent reaction to it, but this is not a case of protest directed at the United States writ large or at U.S. policy."
The administration, of course, is juggling a host of responsibilities, including quelling the violence, protecting American representatives abroad, and maintaining relations with strategic allies. These are delicate tasks, and they justify the occasional lip service. Today's statement, however, crosses the line. Diplomacy is essential, but when murderous mobs shake the fences and take lives, there is no substitute for standing tall and staying sober.
Soberly observed, the predicament is simple: The recent wave of violence is nothing but "an effort by Islamists to garner support and mobilize their base by exacerbating anti-Western sentiments." This is the explanation furnished in this morning's Wall Street Journal by Husain Haqqani, Pakistan's former ambassador to the United States.
He is exactly right. To believe otherwise is not only an intellectual failure—a world in which a bad YouTube clip can, all alone, spark riots is one that defies logic—but also a moral one, willing to explain away any monstrous measure as merely a component of some cultural sensitivity that should be respected at all cost.
President Obama, naturally, is free to pursue whatever interpretation he chooses; voters who strongly disagree with his analysis will have their chance to deliver their message in November. But words and ideas aside, the administration's actions in this case thus far raise considerable concerns. Regardless of the circumstances, it is hard to justify an official appeal to consider the censuring of content.
YouTube may eventually decide to remove the offending film for violations of its own terms of service—"speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity" is prohibited from the world's most popular video sharing platform—but the government should not attempt to influence its decision, particularly when doing so would most likely be interpreted
by the evil men fueling the bloodshed as a victory.
That the administration has chosen to do just that should trouble all of us. If it felt compelled to approach YouTube at all, it ought to have congratulated it for being, in so many ways, the embodiment of free speech: So much of the content and the comments posted on the site is tawdry, tasteless, pointless and offensive, but the fact that we are able to post it without fearing the repercussions is precisely, to borrow a favorite campaign chestnut, what makes America great. To subscribe to any other logic, to curb speech, is just as dangerous to America's body and soul as are the men savagely attacking American targets worldwide. And if the president should find anything truly reprehensible and disgusting, let it be not poorly made video screeds but the very violent crimes of our very real enemies.

The military has apparently opted to deploy Samsung Galaxy smartphones along with Apple's iPhone and iPad tablet, according to a published report, which notes that the move will not likely lead to an immediately noticeable bump in sales in a small network dominated by BlackBerry devices. The Department of Defense's stamp of security approval is still considered an important step for Apple and Samsung, which have lobbied to win more defense agency contracts.

Court asks Legal Services Secretaries to inspect them for deficiencies
The Madras High Court has directed the Secretaries of the Legal Services Authority of Virudhunagar, Tirunelveli and Kancheepuram to inspect nearly 25 Children's Homes in their districts and check whether there are any deficiencies and file a report within four weeks.
The First Bench comprising the Acting Chief Justice R.K.Agrawal and Justice M.Sathyanarayanan passed the interim order on petitions by one A.Narayanan of Virugambakkam here, a social activist.
Mr.Narayanan said though the official authorities took a stand that all deficiencies in the Homes had been rectified, the fact remained that several deficiencies had not been set right. The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act and the rules had not been implemented in letter and spirit. He sought an interim direction to set right things.
He said a "fact-finding sample study" of the Homes in Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Krishnagiri, Tirunelveli and Virudhunagar districts in May/June last year exposed several glaring shortcomings.
For instance, an orphanage home in Tiruvallur district was unregistered. But, it claimed to take care of orphaned and abandoned children. In a Home in Virudhunagar district, the study found that a minor girl was alleged to have been regularly sexually abused by the husband of a warden. Though they were arrested, the Home was still functioning under the same warden and her assistant.
In Tirunelveli district, there were eight Homes run by NGOs without the mandatory registration. Such violations were found in Tiruvallur and Kancheepuram districts also.
Mr.Narayanan said that many childcare institutions escaped mandatory registration under the Juvenile Justice Act under the guise of hostels and short stay homes.
The Bench said though deficiencies had been pointed out in respect of five districts it deemed it fit that in respect of the shortcomings in Virudhunagar, Tirunelveli and Kancheepuram districts, the Secretaries of the district legal services authority concerned should inspect the Homes in question and find out whether the deficiencies pointed out had been rectified.
The court posted the matter for further hearing on July 8.
