Welcome to the new beatles radio website we are working on the site all weekend sorry for any issues;
Welcome to the new beatles radio website we are working on the site all weekend sorry for any issues;
Sir Paul McCartney has shared his "frustration" at people thinking John Lennon was the Beatles.
The 73-year-old musician and John formed the band along with George Harrison in 1960, with drummer Ringo Starr joining in 1962.
They went their separate ways in 1970 and all produced solo music, but John's career came to a halt when he was assassinated in 1980. It was a difficult period for Paul and all involved, and not only because they had lost someone close to them.
"When John got shot, aside from the pure horror of it, the lingering thing was, OK, well now John's a martyr. A JFK. So what happened was, I started to get frustrated because people started to say, 'Well, he was the Beatles.' And me, George and Ringo would go, 'Er, hang on. It's only a year ago we were all equal-ish,'" Paul recalled to British magazine Esquire. "Yeah, John was the witty one, sure. John did a lot of great work, yeah. And post-Beatles he did more great work, but he also did a lot of not-great work. Now the fact that he's now martyred has elevated him to a James Dean, and beyond. So whilst I didn't mind that - I agreed with it - I understood that now there was going to be revisionism. It was going to be: John was the one. That was details
On the eve of his 75th birthday, it's time to celebrate the musical contribution Ringo Starr made to the Fab Four.
'He was the most influential Beatle,' Yoko Ono recently claimed. When Paul and John first spotted him out in Hamburg, in his suit and beard, sitting 'drinking bourbon and seven', they were amazed. 'This was, like, a grown-up musician,' thought Paul. One night Ringo sat in for their drummer Pete Best. 'I remember the moment,' said Paul, 'standing there and looking at John and then looking at George, and the look on our faces was like …what is this? And that was the moment, that was the beginning, really, of the Beatles.'
I think Ringo Starr was a genius. The world seems to be coming around to the idea. Two months ago, he was finally accepted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — the last Beatle to be inducted. About time too. On 7 July he turns 75.
Some might now plead, enough. Ringo should surely just be celebrated for being Ringo: daffy, doleful, odd. Ousting for good in mid-1962 the gloweringly sexy, Mersey-fan-adored Best, Ringo chanced upon the biggest ride in showbiz history and so became the luckiest Scouser of al details
By the time it reached Osaka, Japan, in late April, Paul McCartney's "Out There" tour had been on the road for nearly two years. It had played to close to two million people, from Montevideo to Winnipeg, Nashville to Warsaw, with crowds in Seoul and Marseille and Stockholm still awaiting its arrival. "Out There" succeeded the "On the Run" tour, which itself followed closely on the heels of the "Up and Coming" tour, which began at the start of this decade. I could keep rewinding through his past in this way to make my point about McCartney's tireless globetrotting, but not with anything like the energy and enthusiasm the man himself can summon for each retrospective spectacular. He plays up to 40 songs at each gig, from a catalogue that stretches back more than 50 years. Each show lasts nearly three hours. The intense demands this places on him would have been remarkable in 1965, when he was 23, so it's anyone's guess how he does it now. Not that he shows any signs of stopping, or even slowing down.

Sony Corp. won a U.K. court ruling blocking a documentary-maker from showing a movie about the Beatles' first concert in the U.S.
The film by WPMC Ltd. about the 1964 performance in Washington called "The Beatles: The Lost Concert," infringed Sony's copyrights in the U.K. and the U.S., according to a ruling in London Wednesday. Sony owns the worldwide copyrights to eight songs in the concert, including "From Me to You" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand," Judge Richard Arnold said.
The concert, shown in cinemas and theaters across America as part of a 90-minute package with performances by the Beach Boys and Lesley Gore, took place a few months after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and helped spark "Beatlemania" in the U.S. What happened to the master tapes after the show "is unclear," Arnold said.
The songs "are reproduced in their entirety; the extent of the reproduction is excessive having regard to the transformative purpose; and the permit such use would likely damage the market for, or potential value of," the songs, Arnold said in the ruling.
Calls to Sony and lawyers for the company and WPMC were details
It's a familiar story, at least as old as I am: across America's public schools, arts education programs have been slashed as a cost saving measure, leaving private systems and non-profits to fill in the gaps. In my estimation, one non-profit happens to be filling in that gap rather well, doing so in a way that benefits students, teachers, schools, and the private sector all at the same time.
This program is called, quite simply, the Lennon Bus; think of it as a highly technical realization of Partridge Family values: essentially a recording studio on wheels (though these days, it's much more than that), the Lennon Bus tours the country, making appearances in school districts and after-school programs—many of them severely impoverished.
More than an arts/engineering intensive, the Lennon Bus aims to teach children the importance of team work, focus, discipline, and goal-based learning—and they do all of this by means of a technologically up-to-date multimedia facility. The Lennon Bus also seeks to demonstrate just how valuable such student programs can be to school administrators; having shown off its wares, the Lennon Bus often proceeds to facilitate the donation of the necessary e details
When recounting their experience, anyone who has ever had the pleasure of interviewing Sir Paul McCartney will reveal the one agonising thought that whirled through their mind as they began their preparations: where do I start?
The life and career of a musician so vital that he stands as a pillar in the foundations of rock and roll is naturally so expansive, so prolific and so unique that finding one point in thousands from which to launch a line of questioning can drive you crazy. Of course, that's only half the battle: once you've found your flow, and the research throws up an endless list of questions, where do you stop?
For his 2007 cover story with Clash Magazine, I arrived at my first interview with Paul clutching six sheets of A4 paper and enough questions to fill both sides of each (and that was after some furious self-editing), eager to satisfy a lifetime's curiosity, and squeeze into our conversation and the allotted time the kind of answers any superfan - like myself - would cherish, because who knew if or when this opportunity would ever arise again. We'd begin, of course, by talking about his new album, 'Memory Almost Full', but from there, our direction was unmapped and the landscape vast.
In 1973, John Lennon was sued by an American music mogul for the claimed theft of lyrics written by rock and roll legend Chuck Berry. The case was settled out of the court but it turns out the Beatle was not the only member of his family to be accused of being light fingered.
Historic records which go online today for the first time show that a century before John Lennon's unwelcome brush with the law, his great uncle was busy embarking on a life of prolific crime to make ends meet in Victorian Liverpool.
The documents detailing William Lennon's criminal career, which started in 1876 with the theft of 11 coats and four pairs of trousers before eventually graduating to counterfeiting coins, are part of 1.9 million legal and criminal records held by the National Archives now available on the internet.
The vast database details the nefarious activities of hundreds of thousands of Britons over 157 years until 1936, as well as chronicling the lives of some of the justice system's more notorious enforcers, including the man reputed to be Britain's longest-serving hangman.

After collaborating with the likes of Kanye West and Rihanna, Paul McCartney is continuing to work with a younger generation of influential artists. This time around he's teamed up with Lady Gaga and Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready for the soundtrack to a new animated feature he's producing titled High in the Clouds. The film is based off the children's book McCartney co-authored in 2005, and Macca will also voice one of the film's characters, Deadline reports.
Gaga hinted at the collaboration back in February, saying she was working in the studio with McCartney on an unspecified project.
"Had a beautiful session with Sir Paul McCartney and friends. Working on one of his many secret projects! Killer musicians, vibe, and lots of laughs," Gaga captioned a photo on Instagram of herself alongside McCartney, McCready and a room full of instrumentalists. "Always a good time with my buddy. I'll never forget when he called me last year to work and I hung up the phone cuz I thought it was a prank!"

All My Loving Review | Dir. Tony Palmer
"We met over a great deal of brown rice and he said, 'you have a duty'", director Tony Palmer explains about an early encounter with The Beatles star, John Lennon, and so the blossoming of All My Loving began.
A film about pop in 1968, initially to be aired on the BBC after the epilog, hit London cinema screens again recently. "Everyone demands the existence of heroes...here in Liverpool were born four heroes, The Beatles", an amusing Pathé news voice states. Offering conflicting views from within the industry, "If it sells, who cares" declares Eddie Rogers of Tin Pan Alley, while The Who's Pete Townsend argues, "It's crucial it (pop music) should remain as art." These stand points show that this doc is still tackling focal issues within the music industry some 40 years after it's making, perhaps Paul McCartney's insight that "Pop music is the classical music of now", is still relevant.
To say this is only the second film made by Palmer, it is an achievement, though you could be completely forgiven for thinking that it doesn't do what it says on the tin. Less a documentary ab details
Collection of nonsense rhymes will be heard in full for the first time, 35 years after the former Beatle's death.
Thirty-five years after his death, the first unabridged performance of John Lennon's nonsense poetry will take place at the Edinburgh festival fringe after a crowdfunding campaign reached its target.
Backed by the musician's widow, Yoko Ono, who said she might travel to Scotland to see the production later this summer, the new adaptation is the first time In His Own Write – Lennon's wordplay-obsessed collection of nonsense rhymes and drawings – will have been performed since Lennon read extracts of it on television in 1964.
Baldynoggin Productions has cast three actors for the show, including director Jonathan Glew, who was responsible for getting permission to use In His Own Write from the Lennon estate. The estate, run by Ono, is notoriously careful about granting access to any of the Beatle's works.
"I basically spent a week writing the best letter of my life," Glew told the Financial Times. He said he had decided to go to the free fringe – where production companies are not charged for venue rental, provided they offer fr details
In his signature song for a little pop group from Liverpool, England, Ringo Starr warbled "I get by with a little help from my friends."
Well, those friends better be proficient in iCal and multitask scheduling because the diminutive Billy Shears is a little busy these days.
Starr, recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist (the last Beatle to be so honored), has released a new CD, "Postcards From Paradise." He's the face of both a new ad campaign for Skechers and his own #PeaceRocks social media movement. And he's headed back to the concert trail this fall with the latest version of the All Starr Band.
Did we mention that he turns 75 on July 7? And that he has, thanks to an insanely healthy lifestyle, plenty of boundless energy (as Houstonians saw firsthand last year during his gig at The Woodlands) and only a slightly higher body-fat percentage than, say, Gollum.
In the first major biography of the "funny Beatle" in nearly a quarter century, Michael Seth Starr (no relation) charts the life and career of the man born Richard Starkey.
The book separates Starr's life into three parts: pre-Beatles, Beatles and Post-Beatles. Readers learn that growing up, Starr - details
Sean Lennon recently gave an exclusive interview to the Humanity, the biannual publication of denim brand Citizens of Humanity, where discussed his inspirations (perhaps unsurprisingly, his famous parents John Lennon and Yoko Ono rank high on the list), his favorite Beatles songs, and what he thinks about Kanye West working alongside his father's former collaborator, Paul McCartney.
Lennon attributes his first musical efforts to the work of his prodigious father, but not in the way you might think -- "It's not like I had the Beatles hanging out jamming in my house," he says. "When he died," he tells Humanity, "I remember feeling like there was sort of a vacuum that had been left. I used to just try to play the piano to connect with my idea of what I thought he was, being a musician and stuff. I think at first my inspiration came from just wanting to find some connection to my dad."
His mother, Yoko Ono, is equally inspiring as a musical collaborator. "She's incredible in terms of her lyrical capability," he tells the magazine. "I mean she'll write like 3 or 4 songs a day in the studio. That makes it really fun, so often we'll make it up as we go along." Lennon's favorite details
This week's edition of Deep Beatles could be retitled "A Tale of Multiple Mixes."
Originally intended for the Hard Day's Night soundtrack, the Beatles' "I Call Your Name" stands out for its cowbell-led percussion, unusual musical structure, and distinctive guitar solo. While omitted from the album due to its slight similarity to "You Can't Do That" (chiefly its cowbell), "I Call Your Name" resurfaced on the Beatles' 1964 UK EP Long Tall Sally and the U.S. Capitol release The Beatles' Second Album. Today, it can be found on the Past Masters compilation.
John Lennon had been hanging on to "I Call Your Name" since the Beatles' pre-Hamburg days, according to a 1980 Playboy interview. "That was my song. When there was no Beatles and no group, I just had it around," he said. "It was my effort as a kind of blues originally, and then I wrote the middle-eight just to stick it in the album when it came out years later. The first part had been written before Hamburg even. It was one of my 'first' attempts at a song." In a 1994 interview, Paul McCartney recalled helping Lennon revise the details
Yoko Ono is a towering figure in the twentieth-century art and music worlds. She was one of the main artists behind the Fluxus movement, and her performance and visual art and sound experiments had made her famous before she ever met her future husband, John Lennon of The Beatles. Lennon was a visual artist as well as a musician; his simple, spare and playful art was as accessible as any of his music and imbued with a similarly unique creative vision. Ono is now exhibiting some of Lennon's visual art at various art galleries around the country, including Fascination Street Fine Art, where special prints are for sale. We recently spoke with Ono about her late husband's artwork, its populist sensibility and the importance of giving.
Westword: You're displaying the art of John Lennon around the country. As someone who was involved in the avant-garde art world early on, including being part of the Fluxus movement, how would you say that John's work fits in with the history of art?
Yoko Ono: One day, a long, long time from now, maybe [it will fit in with the history of art]. Things go very fast, so I don't know when that's going to be. But I think John's work will be very highly rated because not one artist I see in details
Paul McCartney had been on the road for nearly a year when his Flowers in the Dirt tour finally touched down in Liverpool on June 28th, 1990. This was a special night since McCartney had been completely off the road since the final Wings trek in 1979, and this was his first show that centered around Beatles tunes. A humongous crowd showed up at King's Dock to watch the local hero and cameras were rolling for a television special.
The year also marked the 50th anniversary of John Lennon's birth, and McCartney wanted to do something memorable at the show to mark the occasion. "So much gets said about me and John," he said at the time. "And we had barneys [British slang for fights], plenty of barneys. I like the idea of putting that to rest by playing a small tribute to to him."
He pulled that off by performing a long medley that incorporated "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Help!" and "Give Peace a Chance." It was the first time he'd ever played those songs live, and he picked them since they were quintessential Lennon tunes. "To me, 'Give Peace a Chance' is one of John's big statements to the world," McCartney said. "I'm not trying to make a saint out of him, but the Vietnam War was bought to a close by a mill details
When your band features a Beatle (George Harrison), a Heartbreaker (Tom Petty), The Bard (Bob Dylan), The Voice (Roy Orbison) and The Sound (Jeff Lynne), you're gonna be a pretty impressive outfit.
What's your favorite supergroup? There are plenty to choose from, to be sure.
Cream. Blind Faith. Derek and the Dominos. (OK, enough of the Eric Clapton groups.)
And there's Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The Highwaymen. Damn Yankees. Mad Season. Chickenfoot. Them Crooked Vultures. Velvet Revolver. Those are just the ones I can think of. There are certainly more.
My favorite? No question. The Traveling Wilburys.
When your band features a Beatle (George Harrison), a Heartbreaker (Tom Petty), The Bard (Bob Dylan), The Voice (Roy Orbison) and The Sound (Jeff Lynne), you're gonna be a pretty impressive outfit.

Global Beatles Day was founded, not with commercial purposes, but to commemorate their music and celebrate them collectively and individually. Even further tan Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison's magical tunes, The Beatles were huge on promoting peace and love, truth and youth, and most of all, the expansion of human consciousness. They explored the expansion of rhythm and blues, rock and roll, until they innovated and found new ways to make music. GBD is celebrated on June 25th because the hit song "All you need is love" was performed by The Beatles on the BBC produced program, Our World, on that same day in 1967.
In order to celebrate the four musicians, we've compiled a series of their greatest quotes; some of which made it into their song lyrics, and some others just went down in history.
"Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans." – John Lennon
"And, in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make." – Paul McCartney
"It's all in the mind." – George Harrison
"Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted." – John Lennon

Perhaps the most surprising thing about Paul McCartney's recent collaborations with rap superstar Kanye West — apart from the fact that Paul McCartney actually collaborated with Kanye West — is how dominant the former Beatle is on each song.
Though it's coated with auto-tune and sung by West, "Only One" is the kind of crackling oddball that would sit right at home on 1980's weird but sincere McCartney II, its punch-drunk keys and effects dropping out intermittently to reinforce West's intense love for his young daughter and late mother.
"FourFiveSeconds" is sung largely by R&B hitmaker Rihanna. Its words are an ode to club-life catharses — "I think I've had enough/ I might get a little drunk/ I say what's on my mind/ I might do a little time" — and it leans heavily on Rihanna's serpentine croon and West's earnest speak-singing. But the bright jangle of McCartney's acoustic guitar and the ebullient lilt of the song's infectious chorus recall the underrated joys of 1971's Ram.
Following the December release of "Only One," a shower of uninformed Twitter users reacted details
But Berwyn Mountains flying saucer investigator Russ Kellett insists the drawing of an encounter Lennon had with a flying saucer in New York is genuine.
The former girlfriend of John Lennon is reported to have claimed a rare drawing of a UFO by the Beatles legend, acquired by an expert on one of North Wales' greatest mysteries, is a fake.
Russ Kellett, is known for investigating the 1974 UFO Berwyn Mountains incident involving theories of an extraterrestrial craft crashing in the area.
Mr Kellett said a few months ago he bought Lennon's sketch of an encounter he had with a flying saucer in New York - the same year as the North Wales incident.
However May Pang, who was with Lennon at the time of their alleged UFO sighting in New York, has reportedly told the online magazine examiner.com it is a fake. She is reported to have said: "Seriously???!!!! This is not anything close to his drawing style. He never drew another one of the UFO sketch when he was with me. I have that one. He definitely would not draw one when he was living with Yoko and me in the pic."

Stuart Fergusson Victor Sutcliffe (23 June 1940 – 10 April 1962) was a Scottish-born artist and musician best known as the original bassist for the Beatles. Sutcliffe left the band to pursue his career as an artist, having previously attended the Liverpool College of Art. Sutcliffe and John Lennon are credited with inventing the name, "Beetles", as they both liked Buddy Holly's band, the Crickets. The band used this name for a while until Lennon decided to change the name to "the Beatles", from the word Beat. As a member of the group when it was a five-piece band, Sutcliffe is one of several people sometimes referred to as the "Fifth Beatle".
When the Beatles played in Hamburg, he met photographer Astrid Kirchherr, to whom he was later engaged. After leaving the Beatles, he enrolled in the Hamburg College of Art, studying under future pop artist, Eduardo Paolozzi, who later wrote a report stating that Sutcliffe was one of his best students. Sutcliffe earned other praise for his paintings, which mostly explored a style related to abstract expressionism.
While studying in Germany, Sutcliffe began experiencing severe headaches and acute sensitivity to light. In the first days of April 1962, he collapsed in th details
An Omaha teenager had a part-time job and money to spend. He had his own bedroom, with four blank walls. And he had a major man-crush on the Beatles.
The logical thing to do? Buy some costly acrylic paint and create a "Yellow Submarine" mural. It took more than a year and some trial and error, but when it was done, it made him proud. He signed his name and the date at the bottom: Jay Dandy, 1977.
It turns out that Dandy's love for pop art and iconic artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein — and his affinity for the colorful decade that put them in the spotlight — have influenced a fair piece of his life since he moved away from Omaha.
He got an art history degree, became a pop art collector, met some influential people in the art world and now is a research assistant in the modern and contemporary art department at the Art Institute of Chicago.
To Dandy's gratification, visitors to a late-spring estate sale at his childhood home still were able to see his pop-art masterpiece more than 35 years after he painted it.

He entranced The Stones and beguiled three-fourths of The Beatles.
Allen Klein managed the careers of them all for a good spell, making him one of the most important money men in the history of the music business. Until Fred Goodman's witty, gossipy and wonderfully well-researched new book, however, no one had the full skinny on the guy.
"Allen Klein: The Man Who Bailed Out The Beatles, Made The Stones and Transformed Rock n Roll" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt $27) tells the amazing tale of how its subject managed to woo the top stars of the day, with a formula that enriched them while enriching himself far more.
Tellingly, Klein didn't develop artists from scratch. His m.o. involved stalking established stars who were being underpaid by their record companies. Since nearly every musician was in that unfortunate position during Klein's peak years (the '60s and '70s), his predatory methods had plenty of takers.
During his reign, Klein managed Sam Cooke, Bobby Vinton, Donovan and The Kinks, along with Jagger and company and all the Beatles save Sir Paul. (McCartney opted to go with his father in law, John Eastman.)

A new show at the Royal Albert Hall offers a faithful glimpse of the sessions that led to Revolver and Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The creator of a new stage musical based on the Beatles' Abbey Road sessions wants to introduce the Fab Four to the MP3 generation.
The Sessions at Abbey Road — at the Royal Albert Hall next year — will recreate the process by which albums such as Revolver and Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band were made in front of a live audience inside an exact replica of the legendary Studio Two.
The two-hour performance, described as a "musical documentary", will span the Beatles' career using period equipment, 39 musicians and eight singers.
The studio will be replicated, based on the recollections of studio chief engineer Geoff Emerick, but executive producer Stig Edgren told the Standard the actors would not be lookalikes of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
He said: "It's the most daunting challenge of my career. The most honourable musical event I think I will ever be involved in. I really want to bring this to a new generation. I have 29-year-old twin daughters who hav details
TORONTO - Whether hanging out on a roof with John Lennon, on a runway with Led Zeppelin, or on a subway car with the Ramones, rock photographer Bob Gruen has always had a knack for capturing the moment. He once played bugle for the Clash, he served as personal photographer to Lennon and Yoko Ono, and his 69th birthday party last year attracted the likes of Alice Cooper, Billie Joe Armstrong and Debbie Harry. Toronto's Liss Gallery is hosting an exhibition and sale of the New Yorker's most-famous work beginning Tuesday and running to July 11. Ahead of his trip, Gruen shared the stories behind some of his most famous photographs.
JOHN LENNON Gruen took many photos of Lennon during his post-Beatles American phase, but none more famous than his shots of Lennon peering into the camera behind circular shades, lanky arms exposed under a sleeveless shirt reading "New York City." The shirt was a garment unique to the sidewalks of Times Square that Gruen used to buy in bunches. He cut the sleeves off one to lend it a "New York look" and gifted it to Lennon. A year later, Gruen was shooting Lennon on the roof of his apartment and, noticing the distinctive skyline, Gruen suggested Lennon wear the shirt, if he still had it (to Gruen details
The rocker annually celebrates his birthday by asking fans to stop at noon wherever they are and offer up a 'peace and love' salute, while sending out positive vibes to the world - and this year, he's planning to stage his own special moment at the Hollywood landmark, which holds a special place in Beatles lore.
Next month's (07Jul15) peace and love moment will mark the 10th anniversary of Ringo's birthday initiative.

Bishop of Carlisle's message
The Bishop of Carlisle has been reflecting on the past year in the Church of England.
In a festive video, the Right Reverend James Newcome looks back on some of the year's important moments, including the decision to allow women to become bishops.
Bishop of Carlisle 'delighted' by women bishop vote
The Bishop of Carlisle has welcomed the news that women can now become bishops within the Church of England.
The General Synod voted in favour of the move yesterday after almost five hours of debate.
Thirty-seven bishops voted in favour with two against and one abstention, while 162 clergy approved with 25 against and four abstentions.
In the House of Laity, there were 152 votes in favour, 45 against and five abstentions.
Bishop of Carlisle to lead investigation into welfare reforms
The Bishop of Carlisle is to lead Cumbrian commission on welfare reform. The Rt Rev'd James Newcome will chair a county Commission which will review the impact of current and proposed Welfare Reforms.
The Commission has been established at the request of the Cumbria Leaders Board which is made up of key public and third sector leaders in the county. Evidence from charities, community organizations and individuals will be collected over the coming months.
New poet for Carlisle Cathedral: Full report
The first poet in residence ever to be installed at Carlisle Cathedral in its 900 year history, has been visiting the city to explain what he hopes he can bring to the church in Cumbria.
He says he wants to use his position to engage the community with the Cathedral's day to day work.
Ryan Dollard reports:
New poet hopes to involve Carlisle community more
Carlisle Cathedral's first 'poet in residence', (in it's 900 year history), has been explaining what he would like to achieve in the role.
Martyn Halsall was in the city to talk about how he'd like to involve more of the community in the Cathedral's day to day life:
Fresh challenge for local poet
After nine hundred years it has been decided that Carlisle Cathedral should have a resident poet penning verse from within it's walls. Martyn Halsall is the man who has been charged with the task. The former Guardian journalist takes up his post today.
Church buildings will feel the impact of the VAT changes
The Archdeacon of West Cumberland Richard Pratt has spoken out against the changes to the VAT exemptions for listed buildings. The extension at St Bridgets in Bridekire near Cockermouth would have cost £50,000 more under the budget changes.He said:
"Previously it was only repair work, such as to the roof, which was subject to VAT now any alteration and restoration work will also have to pay it.
We understand the government is between a rock and a hard place on this issue because of the economic climate but we fund everything ourselves through volunteers so I hope they will reconsider."
He added: "The extension here at Bridekirk probably wouldn't be here if it had to pay the tax. It cost £250,000 to build. VAT would push that figure to £300,000 so the congregation would probably still be raising the money."
Tax changes could hit Church of England hard.
In last month's budget George Osbourne removed tax exemptions for improvements, alterations and restorations on listed buildings. There are suggestions this could cost the Church of England who have 12,500 listed buildings up to £20million. Currently buildings only incur VAT on routine repair work.

Colorado Rockies pitcher Drew Pomeranz says he is no longer facing a misdemeanor disturbing the peace charge. The left-hander was arrested on Oct. 14 in downtown Oxford, where he played college baseball for Ole Miss. Pomeranz retweeted his sports agency, Beverly Hills Sports Council, on Friday, which announced on Twitter the charge had been dropped. He said in a text to The Associated Press Wednesday ''all there really is to be said is on my twitter.'' Pomeranz tweeted he was ''focused on baseball & looking forward to'' spring training. Oxford Municipal Court would not confirm the charges had been dropped. The 23-year-old Pomeranz made his major league debut in September. He was 2-1 with a 5.40 ERA in four starts, striking out 13 and walking five in 18 1/3 innings.

Medisoft Medical Billing Software Announces the New Version 14 of Its Popular Practice Management Program Designed for Single Provider and Small Group Medical Offices www.medicalbillingsoftware.com announces a new release of Medisoft Version 14, designed to help increase productivity, reduce costs, and provide better financial information to help the medical office run smoother. Port Charlotte, FL, March 05, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Medisoft Billing Software Introduces Version 14 As a Feature-rich Upgrade with Features Designed to Streamline Medical Offices. Version 14 includes features that allow you to focus on running your business and not on running software. http://www.medicalbillingsoftware.com announces the United States release of the Easy To Use Medisoft Medical Billing Software Version 14. The new version can help to increase efficiency and productivity in any small physician office because it simplifies the management of patient paperwork and the entry of billing data. Medisoft Version 14 is filled with many features and options that ensure your valuable time can be spent on the patient rather than on paperwork. Medisoft medical billing software has a reputation for its incredible ease of use and the fact that it keeps medical offices running smoothly. Medisoft Version 14 includes an Administrative Dashboard option that allows offices to measure the productivity and profitability of their medical office through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The Administrative Dashboard includes the following components: graphs that shows trends, financial or accounting warnings, AR totals, patient and insurance payment totals, canceled or missed appointments, and much more. Medisoft medical billing software is renowned for the expenses it can eliminate by keeping your physician or medical office practice running smoothly. The Patient Quick Entry feature allows office staff to create patient entry templates so that data entry is quick and contains only information thats needed for the template. Another feature, such as the Medisoft Task Scheduler, can help eliminate time-consuming mundane tasks such as running the patient remainder balances recalcuation, and performing routine indexing in file maintenance. Their medical billing software Version14 also includes a popup reminder to backup your data on exit. Harry Selent, President of http://www.medicalbillingsoftware.com commented "This powerful new version is loaded with features asked for by medical offices around the country. In fact, Medisoft "blew" by version 13 and skipped from version 12 directly to version 14 because of all the additional features." Medisoft practice management software version 14 builds on the success of previous editions. Version 14 enhances the function of sending Electronic Statements instead of relying on office staff to perform the menial monthly function. The software can also store these statements online for future reference and viewing. Potentially one of the most new and important features of Medisoft Version 14 is the ability to Page 1/3 PR.com Press Release Distribution Terms of Use print UB-04 billing forms. Now, UB-04 insurance forms can be printed on paper with greater ease, optionally, the claim forms can also be exported to a file for later transmittal via electronic submission. Medisoft medical billing software version 14, has been designed specifically to help healthcare offices increase cash flow and save valuable time. To view other new program features in this new version or to download a demo copy of Medisoft Version 14, visit http://www.medicalbillingsoftware.com/medisoft-software.htm http://www.medicalbillingsoftware.com, was started by the husband and wife team of Harry Selent.

The business is currently still expanding and is very successful with satisfied customers from all around the United States. Rachael Selent, began by helping her husband, and then made the transition to working full time.

Bethlehem middle schoolers will see a new face on campus next week as the town has promoted Michael Whitely to replace Bruce Oliver, who retired earlier this summer, as the school's newest resource officer.
The Town Board voted unanimously Wednesday, Aug. 26, to promote officer Whitely to detective. The promotion comes after the town promoted officer Gerald Young on Wednesday, July 22, to detective. Two openings in the detective's office became available when Oliver and Christopher Bowdish retired earlier this summer.
Bowdish was best known for his work on the Christopher Porco murder investigation while Oliver was Bethlehem Central's first school resource officer.
Chief Louis Corsi said Whitely was a natural fit.
Although he has some very big shoes to fill he's the best person to fill this position, he said.
After seven years with the Bethlehem Police Department, Whitely began as a patrol officer and then became a DARE officer working with area youth on drug awareness and resistance.
He has degrees from Schenectady Community College and SUNY Brockport, according to Deputy Chief Timothy Beebe, who commended Whitely's work on the force since 2002.
Supervisor Jack Cunningham thanked Whitely for his service after he was appointed by the board, and Councilwoman Joanne Dawson led the room to a round of applause in his honor.
Whitely's family attended his swearing in. His two young children held the Bible he placed his hand on, and his wife pinned the badge on his uniform.
Bethlehem Middle School Principal Sandy Morley was also in attendance to show support for Whitely's appointment.
"We are extremely pleased to have Mike joining the district in this capacity," she said. "Mike has been involved in the district in recent years and is familiar with our students. We are looking forward to having a great working relationship with him and expect that Bethlehem's young people will greatly benefit from his involvement in our schools."

A while back I made plans through AAA to visit Disneyland on the 17th and 18th. I knew that it being the summer, things would be nuts, but I had no idea about the 50th Anniversary celebration at the time. D'oh! I have been to DisneyWorld in FL a bunch of times, but this will be our first visit to DL. We're staying at the Anaheim La Quinta Inn which is a Good Neighbor hotel and is supposed to be pretty close to the park. I will be going to the park with my wife, my 8 year old son and my 15 year old brother-in-law. Now that I know about the 50th anniversay thing, we're trying to do our best to prepare for it.
How early do us normal (non-super fans) folks need to get to the park in order to be relatively sure we'll get in? There's no way we can do 2AM, but we can get there earlier than opening for sure.
Is there any chance we'll get to ride any rides at all?
Can you walk to the park from the La Quinta?
Will the parks be much less crowded on Monday? Or just about the same?
I'm hoping that between Sunday and Monday we'll be able to have a good time without going completely insane. Can you set my fears to rest?
Thanks for any help/advice/words of encouragement!!

Video – The Reality Of So-Called "Clean Coal".
From the Reality Coalition, who are debunking the myth of "clean coal". The video is pretty funny, and sadly true. Coal companies are spending huge sums of money marketing coal as "clean" rather than actually making it so. But the truth is in America, burning coal for electricity emits more global warming pollution than all our cars and trucks combined.
Take a look at the video and help pass it on:

Haha! Nice find!
For some reason, the adage "you can polish a piece of crap all you want… it's still a piece of crap" comes to mind when I hear about clean coal.
Coal companies are spending more money to clean "coal".But the reality is burning coal emits more global warming..So,where their spending money will be?..

Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews brought the Stanley Cup home to Canada and was greeted by hundreds of fans upon his arrival. Toews showed off the famous trophy on Friday during a public celebration, and then spent private time with his family. Hundreds of people lined up for several hours in blazing heat to meet Toews - and admire the Cup - at a community center named after the NHL star. The crowd screamed and cheered as Toews gingerly carried the Stanley Cup past the crowd. He hoisted it above his head on an outdoor stage and kissed it. ''It's always a pretty special feeling to see the support that I'm lucky to get when I come back to Winnipeg,'' Toews said. ''Obviously, this is an honor to bring this Cup back to my home community center.'' The Blackhawks claimed their second championship in four seasons by beating the Boston Bruins in the finals last month. Toews scored a goal in the clinching Game 6 victory. Although only 25, Toews has now enjoyed two celebrations...

Private Tour: Montenegro Day Trip from Dubrovnik
- Full-day private tour to Montenegro from Dubrovnik
- Enjoy guided tours of Montenegro's scenic coastal towns: Perast and Kotor
- Take a boat ride in Perast to see Our Lady of the Rocks church, if you wish
- Visit Kotor's St Tryphon Cathedral and learn about its Romanesque architecture from your guide
- Spend time at leisure in Budva and then cross the UNESCO-listed Bay of Kotor by ferry
Recent Photos of This Tour
What You Can Expect
Cross the border to Montenegro and travel along the picture-perfect Montenegro coast, typified by sweeping blonde-sand beaches. Pass the UNESCO-listed Bay of Kotor -- Europe's southernmost fjord -- and then stop at the charming coastal town of Risan to stretch your legs and admire the seaside views.
Continue to the neighboring village of Perast, lying at the foot of St Elijah Hill, for a walking tour. Much of it was destroyed following an earthquake in the late 1970s, but the gorgeous village still exudes a very Baroque feel with its beautiful villas and churches. After exploring the town with your guide, take a boat ride to a small island close to Perast to see a magnificent 17th-century Baroque church called Our Lady of the Rocks (own expense).
Travel to Kotor, and then enjoy a walking tour of this beautifully preserved medieval town. Learn about the town's important sailing heritage, having had its own merchant navy under the Byzantine Empire. Visit St Tryphon Cathedral, an elegant Romanesque building, and then enjoy some free time in the town to explore independently.
Hop back into your minivan and enjoy a coastal drive to Sveti Stefan, a small island city that juts out into the Adriatic Sea. Soak up the views and then head to the coastal town of Budva for lunch (own expense). Enjoy a couple of hours here at leisure, perhaps relaxing on its famous beaches or strolling around the pretty streets.
Meet your guide at the pre-arranged time and start your journey back to Dubrovnik, passing along the scenic coastal roads. Enjoy one last treat– a ferry crossing along the Bay of Kotor – and then finish your tour in the late afternoon back at your hotel.

The different places we stopped were absolutely beautiful: Perast, Kotor, Budva, Sveti Stefan. If we would have done it by ourselves, we wouldn't even have done half of it. The border crossing were made really easy, we had enough time at each stop, it was truly a wonderful experience and a memorable day. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is staying in Dubrovnik !

Dejan was our driver and guide and he did a superb job. He was very helpful and sensitive to the needs of our group - and went above and beyond in assisting us, and making the trip enjoyable. He had great recommendations along the way, was very personable and on top of it all, safely returned us to our hotel in a torrential rainstorm that started when we were returning. He managed to navigate through flooded and winding roads with traffic in both directions at night. A real hero!!

Quick Update on Health CareJuly 22, 2009 - by Donny Shaw
On the House side, the bill continues to be hung up in the Energy and Commerce Committee over concerns from Blue Dogs. But House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi [D, CA-8] said today that, once the bill is on the floor, it will pass. "I have no question that we have the votes on the floor of the House to pass this legislation," she said at a press conference. It should be noted, however, that not all House Democrats agree with her assessment.
On the Senate side, a less optimistic statement from the Majority Whip, Sen. Dick Durbin [D, IL]. Asked today about the possibility of a vote on health care legislation in the Senate before leaving for recess on August 7, he said: "Initially we had hoped for a full vote by then, but I don't think it's going to be possible." Until today, the Democratic leadership in the Senate had insisted that health care reform was still on schedules and that a vote would take place before the August recess.

Hello everybody! I'm new to the handgun forum world, but not new to forums. I've owned and used guns for most of my life, I'm 26 now and started with a Crosman BB/pellet gun when I was 10 and worked my way from a single shot .22 rifle when I was 13 to my CZ 75 most recently. I grew up on a small farm and loved every minute of it. I just wanted to say hi to everyone!

Just to be clear - when I referred earlier to 'the War' I meant WW2, and I was referring to Pusha's original story at the start of the thread, not the later Jingo reference
Great discussion though...
