World T20 cricket: South Africa thrash Sri Lanka
ICC World Twenty20 Group C, Hambantota
South Africa 78-4 (7 overs) beat Sri Lanka 46-5 (7 overs) by 32 runs
South Africa eased to a 32-run win over Sri Lanka in a match reduced to seven overs per side at the World Twenty20 in Hambantota.
After rain delayed the start by two and a half hours, South Africa posted 78-4, will captain AB de Villiers hitting 30 from only 13 balls.
Sri Lanka lost Tillakaratne Dilshan and Mahela Jayawardene early and eventually limped to 46-5.
Awesome AB
- De Villiers' 30 from 13 balls came at a strike rate of 230.76, the highest of the tournament so far
Both sides had already qualified for the Super Eight stage.
After both teams had completed routine wins over Zimbabwe, the truncated nature of this game has provided little clues as to which side is in better shape for the second phase.
Indeed, one reason for the comfortable nature of South Africa's win could be the fact that they have recent experience in playing trimmed-down versions of T20 cricket, with two matches in England being reduced to nine and 11 overs respectively.
This win was built on the brilliance of De Villiers, who did not arrive at the crease until the end of the third over, but scored 30 of the 38 runs that were added in the next three.
Strong through the off side, De Villiers also twice cleared the leg-side fence, the second maximum a huge hit from a Lasith Malinga short ball.
Deadly Dale
- By taking 2-10 in this match, Dale Steyn improved his tournament figures to 3-19 from six overs at an economy rate of 3.16
When the skipper finally fell to Malinga, caught at mid off, it was left to JP Duminy to add a late boost by taking 10 from the final two balls of the innings.
Even then, South Africa's total looked to be in Sri Lanka's reach, particularly as the only other World T20 game reduced to seven overs saw New Zealand chase down Scotland's 89 with an over to spare in 2009.
But Dilshan was run out without facing a ball by the combined brilliance of De Villiers and Albie Morkel before Jayawardene heaved Dale Steyn into the hands of Farhaan Behardien deep on the leg side.
From there, with wickets falling at regular intervals, the host nation never looked like reaching their target.

Macroscopic one-dimensional facetting of Si(100) upon Au adsorption
In: Surface Science, Jg. 402-404 (1998), S. 464-469
Zeitschriftenaufsatz / Fach: Physik
Fakultät für Physik » Experimentalphysik
Vicinal Si(100) (4°) shows perfectly ordered terraces with a width of 4 nm separated by double steps. Adsorption of Au at 800°C results in a dramatic change of the step morphology: the surface decomposes into areas which are perfectly flat with a (100)-orientation and [119]- facets, which compensate the macroscopic miscut. Macroscopic super terraces with a width of 400 nm up to 4 μm are formed, which are extremely straight with a length limited only by the size of the sample.

Rumours doing the rounds are that Mancini will only be allowed to bring in new players this summer if he is able to generate funds from sales in oder for City not to fall foul of the financial fair play rules (although I think that ship has sailed).
With this is mind, it is unlikely that we will be spending £40m-£50m+ net on transfer this summer.
Players who have been liked with the City exit door at some point through the seaons are Tevez, Baloteli, Dezko, Adebayor, Adam Johnson, Milner, De Jong, Kolarov, and possibly others.
Whilst these are all rumours and it is unlikely we would be able to afford some of these players transfer fees and salaries, my question to you is which of these players would you be happy for us to sign.
For me I would like us to sign Adam Johnson and possibly Adebayor (depending on whether Carroll is still here in the summer). I think we could probably sign both players for £25m.
Kolarov and De Jong interest me, but would've only be interested in Kolarov had we not signed Enrique last summer and De Jong if we were to move on someone like Spearing
Bare in mind, we signed Bellamy from City last season and he has easily been one of our better players and summer signings this season.

With their 40th anniversary approaching in 2015, the Bellamy Brothers aren't slowing down. In addition to their more than 150 tour dates scheduled throughout the United States this year, they have also announced an international tour which will take them to Sri Lanka, India, Brazil, Switzerland, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Australia and New Caledonia.
"We head over to Sri Lanka and India next week," David Bellamy said. "We've toured in over 50 countries throughout our career but performing in these two regions is new territory for us."
"This is shaping up to be one of our biggest international years to date," Howard Bellamy added. "Good thing we're used to the jet lag. We actually have a new song we're recording now called 'Jet Lag Journey!'"
The brothers plan to release new music in conjunction with several of their international tour stops. Recording plans for collaborations with Brazilian rock star Eduardo Araújo and Swiss rock artist Gölä are already in the works. The brothers' first album with Gölä, BB&G: The Greatest Hits Sessions, released in 2010, debuted at No. 1 on the Swiss Music Chart and reached double-platinum sales.
The Bellamy Brothers are also planning a three-song EP and music video for release in late spring. The EP and video will serve as a teaser for the brothers' 40th anniversary album, which is set for a spring 2015 release. The two-disc set will feature 15 new songs and 15 of their No. 1 hits.

With the rising stock in island MMA talent, the UFC is cashing in their chips. In the next installment of The Ultimate Fighter, we see two very familiar faces. . . The Moloka'i Cowboy, Sale Sproat, and Mr. Honeybear himself, Jake Heun.
Though at the moment the roster only proves they made the cut for the tryouts, we will without a doubt all be watching from our respective islands with pride in our eyes. Seeing two of Hawaii's finest fighters in a competition against the best prospects in the world, in a season of competition that is likely to be the highest rated of the tournament in years due to the rivalry and backstory between current Light Heavyweight Champ, Jon Jones, and loud mouthed challenger, Chael Sonnen.
The switch from Friday Nights to Wednesday Nights may prove even better for the tournament viewing as well, on it's new home with FX Networks. Be sure to watch our local boys in action as they try their hand at the most exciting entry competition in the sport of MMA.
Check out the action in the Season Premiere on January 22, on FX.

Could a common painkiller really be able to slow the spread of one of the most virulent forms of breast cancer? A new study says yes, possibly.
Researchers at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Kansas City, Mo., and the University of Kansas Medical Center have reportedly found that a frequent low dose of aspirin may slow and even perturb the development of breast cancers and, of particular interest, that it may be effective in stymieing triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most dangerous and hard to treat forms of the disease.
The study, which involved lab tests on mice, showed aspirin could prevent cancer cells from fully forming or being able to even develop the stem cells cancer uses in order to fuel growth and proliferate.
Lab tests showed that the common painkiller was also able to significantly slow the growth of existing tumors, and that aspirin appeared to boost the effect of tamoxifen, a drug used to treat the more common forms of hormone-receptor positive breast cancers. Aspirin's multi-purpose nature, that it can be used to treat multiple metabolic pathways, means that it may be particularly useful in cancer treatment — this an assertion backed up by many diverse studies that have linked daily doses of aspirin to cancer-preventing lifestyle choices.
However, it is aspirin's potential impact on triple-negative breast cancer that has intrigued researchers, because the prognosis for triple-negative breast cancer is currently quite poor.
What is Triple-Negative Breast Cancer?
When breast cancer cells test negative on three key markers, estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors and HER2 receptors, the cancer is called triple-negative.
This form of cancer, usually diagnosed in women before they reach the 40-50 age bracket, represents about 10-20% of all diagnosed breast cancers. It is more common among African-American or Hispanic women, and a particular gene mutation (BRCA1) also predisposes towards developing the cancer.
Triple-negative breast cancer certainly is beatable, but it presents a particular challenge because it does not respond to the hormone therapies used to treat other less aggressive forms of breast cancer and therefore can often require invasive surgeries such as full mastectomies over lumpectomies.
In addition, triple-negative cancer has shown itself more likely to spread and is more likely to re-occur after treatment during a 3-5 year window (however, it's recurrence rate drops off below that of hormone responsive breast cancer after that period). Triple negative breast cancer also has a lower five-year survival rate than other forms of breast cancer.
For these reasons, finding a way to effectively tackle triple-negative breast cancer and improve the prognosis for sufferers has been a key area of investigation for the researchers.
The fact that the aspirin therapy showed promise in the lab is immensely encouraging in terms of potential future treatments, but it also presents a little bit of a conundrum for researchers.

I guess aspirin in low dose is less toxic than a lot of other synthesized drugs and if you get the cancer you can at least live to fight another day of another malady IF it comes along. We need some human testing to back up the data.
"COULD" being the keyword. Let me know when the RESULTS are in
Wow, another great use for aspirin!
Sounds encouraging.
Thanks Steve for the very informative article. This information is news to me and I'm glad to hear it.
Better to take aspirin than not I think
Thanks for sharing.
This is weird 'cos I just read an article on the 5 most dangerous pain meds. Here's no. 5
(just goes to show how corrupt big pharma and research can be)
Think aspirin is safe? Think again!
Higher doses or prolonged use at the lower dose even in buffered or coated form can double your likelihood of perforated ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding.
Research shows 90-95% of Reyes Syndrome cases were preceded by taking aspirin. The disease devastates internal organs, particularly the brain and liver, and at least 10% of those affected will die even with early treatment.
Pain medications and adverse drug reactions are the 4th leading cause of death in the U.S.... only behind heart disease, cancer and strokes!
Great benefits from low dose aspirin. I take one a day for my heart.

Tradition and Revolution brings together interviews, musings, poetry, stories, fictionalized diary entries, and forthright political and religious essays. It is an extraordinarily varied tour of the author's inner and outer worlds.
Topics include home schooling, depopulation, the Wodenic mysteries, revolutionary Mohammedanism, and Sir Oswald Mosley (it is particularly nice to see an essay on Mosley: of all the fascists he is, perhaps, the most neglected).
These essays do not so much present Southgate's worldview, as his trajectory through a number of different worldviews. The title does, however, isolate two threads that string his successive positions together: Traditionalism in the sense of Julius Evola and revolutionary politics, specifically white nationalism.
Southgate's opening essay, "Transcending the Beyond: From Third Position to National Anarchism," is an itinerary of his journey through England's Far Right movements. The "third position" refers to attempts to stake out a genuine alternative to both capitalism and communism, which are not so opposed as commonly thought, since they are united in their materialism and progressivism. Southgate quotes Hilaire Belloc:
The only economic difference between a herd of subservient Russians and a mob of free Englishmen pouring into a factory of a morning is that the latter are exploited by private profits, the former by the State in communal fashion. The motive of the Russian masters is to establish a comfortable bureaucracy for themselves and their friends out of the proletariat labour. The motive of the English masters is to increase their private fortunes out the proletariat labour. But we want something different from either. (p. 20)
Opposed to materialism and progressivism are spiritual, organic, and historical/traditional conceptions of society, including nationalism in its narrow ethnic and broader racial forms. Third Positionism makes for some strange bedfellows: Catholic Distributists like Hilaire Belloc and G. K. Chesterton; National Socialists and fascists; Nick Griffin of the British National Party (at least at one stage of his career); and even Libya's Colonel Quathafi (whose Green Book was distributed in National Front circles).
Eventually Southgate came to "transcend" the Third Position (the "beyond" left and right of his title) and embrace National Anarchism. Just as the Third Position defines itself in opposition to what unites capitalism and communism, National Anarchism defines itself in terms of what unites all three: an orientation toward capturing state power.
National Anarchism, by contrast, seeks to realize freedom now through the creation of organic, tribal, non-state forms of community. And, in a very libertarian turn of thought, National Anarchists affirm the right of all others to do the same, so long as they reciprocate that respect. The best place to further explore Southgate's National Anarchism is Synthesis, the online journal of the "Cercle de la Rose Noire" dedicated to "Anarchy," "Occulture," and "Metapolitics." See www.rosenoire.org.
One of the standout essays of this collection is "Militant Imperium" (Chapter 23, pp. 186-245, a chapter-by-chapter commentary on Julius Evola's seminal Men Among the Ruins. Southgate demonstrates a strong grasp of the Italian philosopher's thinking and has the rare ability to distill Evola's work to its essence and reinterpret it in a manner accessible to the average reader. Indeed, one of the strengths of this entire collection is Southgate's ability to approach a wide range historical, political, and spiritual topics, condense their essences — like a modern-day literary alchemist — and convey them to a wider audience.
Southgate also brings an impressive intensity to his writings. While most of these texts evoke the meditative, philosophical mood needed to comprehend and digest them, others, like chapter 16, "From Sacrifice Comes Victory," are calls to action.
Although the bulk of Tradition and Revolution consists of non-fiction essays, these are interspersed with witty and fascinating bits of futuristic fiction, fictionalized diaries, and poems. These both compliment and contrast with the rest of the book.
It is one thing to talk about multiculturalism, another thing to see it: "Come with me," Southgate's fictional narrator extols, "Let me lead you through the dark alleyways of old London, where the rats and urban foxes battle it out over putrid scraps of shish-kebab. . ." (p. 136). Sometimes a few words are worth a thousand pictures.
Southgate also includes formal, rhyming poems, which are rare in contemporary collections of writing, having been neglected since liberal modern schools began weaning the popular taste away from traditional European literary forms.
What happened to Olde England?
Are these modern Saxons free?
Their chief concern is coffee spilt
Upon a pin-striped knee.
— "An Ode to Apathy" (p. 170)
This collection speaks very well for Mr. Southgate's strength of character. Throughout this book, we see the author ever changing, ever searching, ever questioning in pursuit of truth and personal growth. Whether he is chronicling his spiritual journey through Catholicism, Paganism, Buddhism, and beyond, or explaining his involvements with various political groups, his voice is honest, secure, and remarkably free from ego. In these cynical times, it is quite refreshing to read someone who isn't primarily concerned with his image at the expense of being honest and straightforward.

Without capturing state power, how do they remove the non-White invaders? Are the non-Whites free to remain in traditional White territories and form their own organic communities?
1) State power is not necessary to achieve the will of a community.
2) The distribution of territory will have to be decided among all parties involved. Either become a part of a community with the means to express its will or become the subject of one that is better organized.
What's the difference between an organized community and a state? What if non-Whites don't want to cooperate in their own removal? The organized community of Arkansas didn't want to be integrated, yet they were at gun point by the federal state. I can't take N.A. seriously.

If they didn't care enough to resist and assert their own sovereignty no one can (nor should) help them.

Fair enough, have a nice day!

Rising Food Prices: 10 Questions Answered
This article was originally published by the U.N. World Food Programme. See the full article here.
Food prices are grabbing headlines again. The latest figures show that prices have surpassed the peaks reached at the height of the high food price crisis in 2008. For now, the world is not experiencing a repeat of that crisis. But concerns remain because prices are expected to remain high for several months. Listen to podcast
The causes and the effects of the current high food prices are diverse. To help you get a grasp of what it all means, here are the answers to 10 key questions:
How high are food prices really?
The global food price index produced by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reached 231 points in January, higher than the previous peak of 213.5 reached in 2008. It's the highest value recorded since FAO first developed this index in 1990.
So it's going to be worse than 2008 then?
Not necessarily. Supplies of major food crops are more plentiful than two years ago, mainly because of much larger reserves. Reserves of rice, wheat and white maize (the most important staple food crops in many vulnerable countries) are adequate and that lessens the risk of a repeat of the 2007/08 crisis.
Any other differences between now and 2008?
In 2008, prices were driven partly by high oil prices that peaked at more than US$150 a barrel. Current oil prices have now passed $100 a barrel, the point at which the use of maize for biofuel production becomes much more viable.. The cost of oil affects the cost of fertilisers and transport – both key factors in food costs.
When did prices start rising again?
Drought and fires in Russia, followed by a government imposed export ban over the summer last year led to a period of rising wheat prices. The cost of yellow maize has also risen over the past six months due to lower than expected harvests, and an increase in the use of maize for biofuel production in the USA.
What's the outlook?
The latest figures clearly show that the upward pressure on world food prices is not abating. These high prices are likely to persist in the months to come. The scale of planting of crops in 2011 will be critical in setting the tone for stability in international markets.
Who is going to be hit hardest?
High food prices are a problem for poor countries that have to import a lot of food to feed their populations. If imports cost more, these countries could struggle to buy the food they need. Taken down to a human level, high prices are a problem for any household that spends most of its income on food. In many of the world's developing countries, people spend 60-80 percent of their income on food.
Aren't high food prices good for poor farmers?
High food prices could represent an opportunity for people who make a living from agriculture. The trouble is that many of these people don't produce enough food even for themselves, let alone to sell any. Many do not have access to the markets where prices are higher nor the resources they need for inputs like fertilizer to increase their yields.
How do high food prices affect WFP?
More than half of WFP's food is purchased with cash donations, so higher prices will mean less food for the hungry.
How much food does WFP buy?
In 2010, WFP bought US$ 1.25 billion worth of food commodities. Of that, US$ 975 million came from developing countries. Around 39 percent of the food bought was wheat and 18 percent maize. Cereal prices have risen 50% since July 2010.
Any reasons to be cheerful?
It's encouraging that these issues will be firmly on the agenda of the G20 meetings this year, along with ways to address possible reactions such as export bans. Bans should not be allowed to impact humanitarian work. Governments are also expected to discuss the possibility of establishing food reserves close to potentially food-insecure areas.

What is a good mbps for internet?
While most internet subscribers don't need 1 gigabit-per-second (Gbps), you should be getting at least 8 megabits per second (Mbps) to consider yourself a modern user. Anything less than 8 mbps is considered "slow".
To help you figure out what speed is right for you, take a look at the list below:
- 1-4 Mbps- if only one person is using the internet, they should be able to enjoy basic applications without delay.
- 4-6 Mbps - considered minimum speed generally required for today's video-rich applications.
- 6-10 Mbps - this connection is a good middle ground for most subscribers at home.
- 10-15 Mbps - at this speed, subscribers will detect sharp increases in download performances.
- 15-50 Mbps - this connection speed will give you a good experience without buffering.
- 50+ Mbps - at this speed, you can do real-time data collection video conferencing with multiple users, remote supercomputing, etc.
Verizon begins deploying its AWS LTE Network, with 80 Mbps download speeds to be had....read more at Droid Life.

3 Cheers For Small Beers
Our special anniversary edition lagerale weighs in at a massive 12% ABV with enough hops and malt to MELT YOUR FACE OFF!
These days, it seems like everyone has a special release beer that's at least 9% ABV. I love them, don't get me wrong, but what about something you can drink without having to go lie down on the couch? What about something that is…sessionable?
I went looking for something like this, and I found what's called a "small beer". It's a beer that is made from the "second runnings" of a big beer like a barley wine (which would have an ABV greater than 8%). Second runnings just means that they make a second beer using the same grain that they used to make the first one. You get a beer with much less alcohol in it. It is not a baby version of whatever the grain was used to make first. Instead, it's a brand new beer.
Anchor Brewing makes Anchor Small Beer. It's 3.3% ABV and is the second runnings of their barley wine, Old Foghorn. In an age where everyone wants to go huge, I really dig this reversal of the trend. Anyone who makes the big beers can do it, and it only costs them time, hops, water, and yeast. I'd definitely like to see stuff like this from the likes of Firestone Walker, The Bruery, and The Lost Abbey.

Small beer FTW! I'm into it!
Brian Kropf | Thursday, January 7, 2010
Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head did one with their Life & Limb. Their ultra-rare keg only small beer version of Life & Limb was called Limb & Life, and as you said, it was made from the second-runnings of Life & Limb. Tasting them side by side was really cool and they were worlds apart.

One of the oldest craft brewers in the country still making it happen. Let the session begin.
Scott Spolv | Thursday, January 7, 2010
While a nice high ABV beer is nice once and awhile, I really do appreciate the low ABV beers that aren't like drinking dirty dish water. Stone Levitation comes to mind but I've never actually heard about the Anchor small beer until now so I'll have to give it a shot.

How area surrounding Grimsby's Ice Factory could become focal point for regeneration
Posted: May 16, 2012|
The future of Grimsby's Ice Factory is a hot topic. Here, Roy Horobin, of the Grimsby Ice Factory Trust, explains, in reply to a recent column by Telegraph business editor David Laister, how the area surrounding the neglected building could become a focal point for regeneration
PEOPLE like me have been campaigning to get the Great Grimsby Ice Factory building used.
It is often mistakenly said that people like me are campaigning to "preserve" this building. That is the last thing I want to do.
The Ice Factory is not a "wreck of a building" as some would claim. A recent survey showed it is structurally sound.
Related content
This building has been neglected for 20 years and looks a mess, especially when looked at from the direction of the Grimsby Telegraph.
However, I have been taken on an informative tour by Associated British Ports (ABP), where I walked on floors, on the roof and up spiral staircases, and so proved just how sound this building is.
National interest is being excited by organisations such as the Prince's Regeneration Trust, Save Britain's heritage, the British Council For Archaeology and English Heritage.
Their view is this building and the surrounding area are unique in the United Kingdom. This uniqueness can be translated into tourism income. But that is only a part of my argument.
It's all very well to lazily moan that the building should be pulled down, but the Ice Factory is a grade two-listed building. It is not simply the case that it can be knocked down.
To apply to get this structurally sound building demolished would be a lengthy process which would lead to further loss of income, which could be huge.
All that people, like me, ask for is to be included in the discussion. We can help solve Grimsby's image problem, which would in turn help the town with recruitment and retention of talented workers.
Voluntary organisations like the Great Grimsby Ice Factory Trust come cheap. You may not be able to knock down the Ice Factory but their services come at "knock-down" prices.
I would like to see the area of the Ice Factory and historic dock turned into an entrepreneurial zone. This area is less than two per cent of the Grimsby Docks. One businessman at the heart of the renewables industry suggested that the Ice Factory could partly be turned into attractive office space for the renewables energy industries.
Other buildings in the historic dock could also be converted into offices and modern cafes to create an attractive environment that would be a thriving business area.
A banker from the City of London explained to me that there have been problems with Canary Wharf and the Docklands area because most want to work in the older, more appealing area of the city.
Two local businessmen, on separate occasions, explained how the historic dock offers a potentially very appealing environment for business.
This could have a transformative effect on the town. I don't want to tell businesses how to run their businesses; instead I want to create a tiny, but significant part of the docks that has the right leasing conditions for entrepreneurs to fly.
We could then create an attractive area in the symbolic heart of Grimsby which helped to retain and recruit talent – perhaps a zone for the creative industries of which Britain is a world leader.
This is not "an albatross" around our neck. What exactly does that mean anyway?
An albatross is a rare, beautiful and valuable bird. It is an unpolished jewel that can earn money for us.
One irony is that by declaring a conservation area, we could create the entrepreneurial zone that I am after.
We would be able to improve the image of Grimsby. The docks are the image of Grimsby, just look how the Dock Tower features – and that building soon outlived its obvious, economic use.
Declaring a conservation area would allow millions of Government funds to be released. The money is there, but traditionally this area has not fought for it. All that needs to be conserved are the appealing exteriors and some aspects of the interiors of the quality buildings on the dock.
And yes, I would demolish some buildings on the historic dock. My experiences of the economically successful Germany show how old, quirky features can be combined with state-of-the-art, hard-nosed, money-making properties.
A good example of how conservation translates into money is the York Walls. They were going to be knocked down in the 19th century, but were preserved.
They are now seen as part of the economic success of York in attracting and retaining business. The walls create the unique identity of the city, our unique identity comes from the docks.
Access issues have frequently been raised. The Great Grimsby Ice Factory Trust with the help of the Prince's Regeneration Charity has already started to explore those issues at no cost to the council or ABP.
On a planning day in February, hosted by Prince Charles's charity, a town planner started to sketch out a way to improve access to the A180 which avoided the level crossing and Riby Square.
This would then allow for a right turn from the A180 into Freemen Street and allow for safe public access to the historic dock. But how would we stop the public from interfering with the work of ABP? By fencing off the unloading areas and other sensitive areas. There is no danger of a public and commercial mix-up. The planner showed how easy it was to keep the two separate.
The East Marsh and Freemen Street areas are a thorny problem and the Ice Factory has the possibility to significantly help with this.
The area is in the centre of town, right next to the most successful dock in the United Kingdom and yet none of that success washes across.
We need houses in the area and yet no-one can make a profit out of building houses on the East Marsh. Easy "connectivity" between the East Marsh and a thriving Ice Factory and historic dock could transform this area. This sort of transformation has been done elsewhere. Why should it not happen here? We need to raise aspiration in this area.
The money that drains away into the social problems could be redirected for the benefit of business. It is in the interest of business in the town that we use wealth intelligently to create opportunities.
One of 104 members of the Great Grimsby Ice Factory Trust is an Oxford professor who works in research that benefits industry. He completely understands the need to raise aspiration, as do other organisations in the town. We want to use the Ice Factory to stimulate that aspiration.
Without an increase in aspiration then there will a potential skills shortage in the key skills of literacy, numeracy, science, technology and teamwork.
It is a dangerous and inaccurate myth to claim money is not available to regenerate the Ice Factory.
In recent weeks, the Great Grimsby Ice Factory Trust has raised more than £2,000 towards its Options Appraisal by donations from local businesses and members of the public.
The Architectural Heritage Fund will then match this to £7,500 to pay for an architect to complete the Options Appraisal of the cinema, microbrewery, restaurant, office space, climbing wall, performing arts space, art gallery and Ice Factory interactive experience.
Then the market research is carried out, at no cost to the council or ABP, and then the trust writes the business plan that is presented to ABP. At this point it will be possible to apply for the big money, which is ring fenced for heritage projects, from the national lottery.
This is a time of austerity but the money is there. If the trust has the full support of the council and the landowners then the chances of getting the money are virtually guaranteed.
The Ice Factory is on the verge of creating paid work for an architect's firm and market researchers, but I would like to see it used to create extensive work for our local construction industry. This can be done.
I am somewhat at a loss as to why so much construction work goes to out-of-town businesses. There is also a great opportunity to link in with providing on-the-job training opportunities to other bodies who are training young people; and build on the work that I have seen being done on the East Marsh which is getting long-term unemployed people into work.
The Dock Tower is iconic and I would like to see it opened up to the public so we could benefit from the tourist trade; it could become a real PR success for ABP.
The most important docks in the UK are of interest to many people. Going up the Dock Tower and being able to see a working port would be an amazing, worth-travelling- to-Grimsby-for experience. Those visitors would spend money in the town. The 2010 English Heritage Report found that for every £1 invested in heritage there was a return of £1.70.
MP Austin Mitchell disputed this with me in an e-mail correspondence so I found evidence for Stockport, a working class town in the North West of England, with a virtually identical population to Grimsby, had also benefited in the same report by English Heritage.
And why not convert the Port Office into a hotel?
We can transform Grimsby by increasing the business done here. But we need everyone to be listened to, and no-one excluded from the discussion. The symbolic heart of Grimsby is the docks. Be business-like about the past and the past will create business for the future.

These are a lifesaver for me. I often have whiteheads (especially around that time of the month) that, once popped, refill and end up being a huge pain. But I put these on (I do it when I get home from class/work, they fall off when I sleep in them) and leave them on for as long as possible. When I take them off, there's white stuff on the patch and the zit is flatter and heals without scarring. For some big ones, I have to use them a few days in a row. For cysts, I try to treat them with sulfur or dot the MUAC mandelic acid peel on them for a few minutes to bring them to a head, extract the pus I can (as long as it's open the patch will work) then place and voila. I get a lot of cysts that stick around forever and leave nasty pits/scars, and this is the best solution I've found to date. I'll try finding regular hydrocolloid bandages locally next, because it is a pain to buy these online, and see if that works as well. But if not, I'll absolutely go back to these. I highly recommend them.
UPDATE: I'm still using these, and am about to buy another pack or two off ebay. There's just no other product I have/have had that demolishes my cysts quite like this. I got one recently (a combo of TOTM and leaving my makeup on overnight, stupid I know) and I felt it dwelling beneath the surface. I treated it with sulfur several times until it came to a head, popped it, and slapped a few of these on. I leave it on until it's indented in the middle which is when I think it's fully saturated with pus (disgusting, yet amazingly fulfilling), take it off, squeeze some more pus out, and put another one on until it's done or I have to sleep. I just love this so much. It's an HG until/unless I somehow miraculously stop having acne.

I'm not lucky enough to be able to find these actual patches but what I do here in the US is buy normal hydrocolloid bandages and cut them down to size. I've only used them on acne that I've already popped (BAD habit I know *sad face here*) but they DEFINITELY shorten healing time and the scars are wayyyy less visible! A good tip for those of us that can't find these patches locally.

HG. I wont go without these. on my 2nd pack and almost panicked when the mail was a bit late bringing the 2nd one. you have to order from ebay but they're cheap.
i don't break out often, but when i do, these things totally save the day. they take out the pus during the night, and even if you have to use three or four nights in a row.
one of the best things for me is that somehow, i don't know why, but a horrible "refilling" zit stays flat all during the day.

This is amazing. It works everytime over pimples that has a white head at the tip. Leave it on overnight and it'll suck all the pus right out and flatten the pimple. If it's a really big one then it'll require two or three more patches.

I rely so so so so heavily on these patches. They help shrink my pimples, and allow me to fake reasonably clear skin. I can go through PACKS during a bad skin week.
The downside, though, is that they can get quite expensive if you use them as much as I do.
But these are basically hydrocolloid patches, so if you're short on cash, or live in an area without ready access to these, you can basically buy a sheet of hydrocolloid wound dressing. I think blister patches in the US are also made from hydrocolloid material, so you could try those too.

These patches are amazingly effective. For pimples that have come to a head or are about to pop, I puncture them with a sterile needle, dab away the pus that oozes out (gross, I know), then slap one of these patches on overnight. By the next day the patch will be filled with pus (very satisfying to see) and the pimple would have been flattened by a lot.
For cystic acne (the kind where the pus is hidden deep beneath the skin), it gets a bit tricky because the patch only works if it has an unobstructed path to the pus. I usually try to "create a path" by poking the pimple with a sterile needle deep enough for fluid to emerge, then stick a patch on. It usually takes several days of repeated treatments for cystic acne to flatten.
I do have some gripes about these patches though. Firstly, I wish they sold different sized ones separately, because sometimes I need a lot more of one size. Secondly, I find that the glue on the sticky side has a tendency to get to the non-sticky side after opening the package for some time. I'm not sure if this is due to humidity or heat. I guess I should try storing them in ziplock bags.

I get inflamed zits that usually forms a whitehead. I tried this on a few unpopped zits for 1 night only and didn't see a huge difference.
But then I had this awful and huge zit on my forehead that did come to a head and I was able to pop. I got a lot of gunk out but it was still swollen and sore. I popped this on and when i woke up it finally work! The patch turned white, which means it soaked up the gunk and my zit was much flatter and not as sore.
I will definitely keep these around for popped zits.

I simply don't understand how one can use this product and love it to pieces--aside from the fact that you cannot find it anywhere in the US. Hell, I cannot live without these stickers!
I have a hit-and-run history with other acne products that don't work half as great as these stickers. I've tried every cream and gel from Clean and Clear to neautrogena and every other drugstore product--I don't have the money to invest in high-end products, mind you--but this product works better than anything I've tried, I swear. Takes care of a pimple in less than a few days--if it is popped, of course, otherwise it shrinks the size, but prolonged usage does rid of the pimple--it simply takes a bit longer if unpopped.

I've been using these for about a year. They work best on pimples that have been popped, but keep filling back up with fluid. I put them on at night and by morning the area is completely flat and ready to be treated with Triple Antibiotic Ointment (to prevent infection and speed up healing). You can see the fluid on the patch when you take it off, it's gross but awesome.

This is the first (and probably only...) product I've ever used that's actually lived up to its hype.
As other reviewers have noted, by some diablerie, these little stickers manage to suck out all the nasty white crap from your pimples. They do not, unfortunately, help heal them any faster (I guess that'd be asking for too much).
I think you're supposed to be squeeze your pimples until they pop, then cover the resulting wound w/ a sticker, but it seems to work pretty well even if the skin isn't broken. I had a nasty pimple yesterday; it had been pretty dormant for over a week, burrowed deep under my skin; I kept poking at it but never managed to pop it, so I stuck one of these things over it, and voila! After a few hours, it drew out a ton of white pus. Extremely satisfying :D
Anyway, I think these things are just a little trickier than usual to procure. There are usually sellers on Ebay peddling packs of Nexcare, but I get the feeling that they overcharge (supposedly these are super cheap in Taiwan)....Oh well, still comparatively cheap.

One thing cool about Halloween, is the day after Halloween... "All Saints Day."
Historically, this was a time for the church to remember the lives of Christian martyrs who "gave what they could not keep to gain what they could not lose." This day need not be celebrated only in honor of martyrs, but could also celebrate those beloved saints who have "fallen asleep" in the Lord.
Enter Jamie Dodane.
I grew up and went to school with this freckled red-haired kid named Jamie. I actually went to school with him all the way from Kindergarten through twelfth grade. One of my earliest memories of Jamie was in Kindergarten. The teacher left the room and Jamie planted the biggest lip kiss on this girl "TV style."
I was in awe.
Jamie and I hung out in junior high a bit and then parted ways. I think it's safe to say that we also parted ways with the faith we were taught when we were young. But God in His grace and sovereignty brought us back in to His flock in our early twenties.
It was about four years ago that I had the privilege of talking to Jamie weeks before he and his wife and three children were moving to Australia as missionaries through his church...and Jamie was stoked about it. We caught up a bit and emailed a couple more times. He and his family moved to Australia in faith.
Sometime after their arrival, Jamie fell ill and was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia. Man, I can't think of a much darker and hopeless situation. Being thousands of miles from friends and family in a foreign land, trying to lead your wife and kids and a church, and trying to deal with the fact that you've just been diagnosed with leukemia.
Jamie fought the disease. Only a few months into Jamie's battle with Leukemia, he died. All the while his wife and kids were still stranded in Australia. A bunch of people citywide raised money, donated frequent flyer miles, etc., to help get everybody home.
My wife and I attended his memorial service a week or so later. I suppose one thing that really sticks out in my mind was something the pastor said in the message that day. He said that Jamie came up to him the Sunday before they left for Australia. He said Jamie was beaming, and said, "I'm the happiest man on earth."
During the memorial service, they played a slideshow of Jamie's life, and also a recorded message to all his friends and family back home, thanking them, and telling them they could feel their prayers. I get choked up just thinking about that.
I honestly don't know why stuff like this happens. It is the mysterious, apparent randomness of tragedy. The problem of pain and suffering is difficult. It's probably the most used argument against the existence of God. Events like this often cause people to turn their backs on God. Yet, I look at Jamie's life and circumstances and there he was, still trusting God's goodness despite having every external excuse not to.
And here he was in a recorded message, comforting his friends and family back home thousands of miles away. Shepherding from the cross.
So, this All Saints Day, I honor St. Jamie, who by God's grace, had the spiritual stones to travel across the world and remain steadfast in the faith once for all entrusted to the saints, even to the end. May God give His church more Jamies.
The answer to suffering cannot just be an abstract idea, because this isn't an abstract issue; it's a personal issue. It requires a personal response. The answer must be someone, not just something, because the issue involves someone—God, where are you?
Jesus is there, sitting beside us in the lowest places of our lives. Are we broken? He was broken, like bread for us. Are we despised? He was despised and rejected of men. Do we cry out that we can't take anymore? He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Do people betray us? He was sold out Himself. Are our tenderest relationships broken? He too loved and was rejected. Do people turn from us? they hid their faces from him as from a leper.
Does he descend into all our hells? Yes, he does. From the depths of a Nazi death camp, Corrie ten Boom wrote: "No matter how deep our darkness, he is deeper still."

Monster Fun Box is ALIIIIIIVE!!!!!!
My friend Brad over at ID-33 Design and I had a hankering to collaborate on a clothing/website project. In order to see what we came up with head on over to MonsterFunBox.com. I did a ton of monster drawings and Brad figured out ways to work them into designs, clothing and whatnot.
We have a whole store full of Monster Fun Box clothing which you can check out here.
After all, doesn't everyone need a "I shot me a Chupacabra" hooded sweatshirt?

Barrel of Monkeys...
Just finished this t-shirt design for a client last week. It really was a fun project to work on. The assignment was pretty straight-forward...
Draw a crazy looking monkey standing next to a surfboard in the sand.
I've posted the progression, from initial sketch, to tightened pencils, to final inks.

We will help you create a magical wedding dance experience. The magic begins when you call today to schedule a free private lesson. Ask about our 25% discount for new students.

Often times, this dance occurs right after dinner, when drinks are flowing and your guests are mingling with each other and having a good time. The lights will dim and the disc jockey will make the announcement that the formal dance is about to begin, catching your guests' attention and turning all eyes to the dance floor. But typically, your guests gaze on for a moment before continuing their conversations. So why not wow your guests with your first dance as a married couple and make it certain that you and your spouse are truly the center of attention for the entire night?
And better yet, while your finished routine will have the attention of your wedding guests, taking dance lessons as a future husband and wife in the weeks leading up to your wedding can also be a great bonding experience for you and your soon-to-be spouse. Wedding dances can be choreographed by your Arthur Murray dance instructor typically over a series of weeks.
While dance lessons at Arthur Murray DC studios are ideal for future spouses, they can also be a valuable bonding experience for any couple or individual looking for a fun activity to socialize and stay active. So whether it's the exclamation point you want to put on your first dance as a married couple or just an activity to get you out of the house and off the couch, ballroom dancing lessons are an ideal choice. It's exercise, it's fun, and it's a great way to learn something new. The waltz is just one example of the many different dance steps and routines that can be learned through a dance class at Arthur Murray DC studios.
Only through some sort of regular excercise can we avoid having all those extra calories we consume convert to body fat. Instead of spending endless hours working on boring, monotonous exercise equipment, why not enjoy burning those extra calories while dancing in a pleasant atmosphere with pleasant people and great music!
Medical specialists tell us that long periods of inactivity can cause a decline in the heart's efficiency. A heart, which is accustomed to exercise, when forced into more vigorous activity (i.e. running upstairs to answer the phone, shoveling snow, playing an active sport, etc.) will be better able to handle the extra load. Your heart will pump blood throughout your body with much more efficiency when required to so frequently by a mild form of exercise such as dancing.
Do you know that our nerve cells govern our senses of sight, feel, hearing, smell and taste? They govern our memory, emotions, reasoning and motor reflexes too. Doctors have long recognized the beneficial effects of exercise on the psyche and nerve cells. Dancing aids in relieving stress and strain and couteracts nervous fatigue. If we are to think clearly, and make intelligent decisions in our everyday life. we must possess the kind of relaxed nervous system that can be provided by regular dancing!
Often we don't stop to reflect on the needs of our bodies until it is too late. Good circulation not only nourishes our muscles, giving us coordination as well as grace and poise, but though dancing wit does more to stimulate and improve the appearance of our skin than all of the massages and creams we can use.
As we grow older, it becomes a greater challenge to remain active so our minds and bodies will stay strong and fit. Dancing is a wonderful way to keep both mind and body active, and the amount of energy you want to devote to it is entirely up to you!
One of the beautiful things about social dancing is the way it works muscles that would otherwise not get very much use in a normal day. Firmer underarms/triceps will result when the arms are held up and used. Sounds like dance position and arm styling might make you look good in more ways than one.
As for the legs, most people have fairly solid muscle tone on the front of their legs. If you want to firm up the back of the thigh and lower buttocks, you have to use them. Swing the leg back from the hip in a slow Fox Trot could help tone this area.
It is important to have proper tools to improve any hobby. Dance shoes are specifically made to enhance the dancing experience. Wearing proper dance shoes while dancing will help with balance and turning.
While ballroom dancing shoes should fit more snug than your sneakers or business shoes, they should not be so tight that they pinch your feet or constrain movement. Dancing in shoes that are too small can leave your feet in pain for days.
Learn about sizing ballroom shoes before you go shoe shopping, so that you get the right fit. If you're unsure of what type of shoe to order, check with your Arthur Murray dance instructor for a recommendation.
When trying on dance shoes , make sure to try on both the left and right shoe. Many people have one foot that's slightly bigger than the other, so it is important to make sure that both shoes fit right before you go dancing. Consider buying foam inner soles, which stabilize your foot inside the dance shoe. Shoes that stretch too much wear out more quickly.
I'm sure you have all read articles about what to do on the dance floor in order to be a good dancer. Reading blogs and other advice columns filled with tips and tricks about dancing is a great way to get advice.
We discussed some of Arthur Murray's tips to make you a better dancer in several of our blogs. Now we are going to take a different approach and tell you what not to do on the dance floor. This blog quotes Arthur Murray, himself, from 1937's "Let's Dance". The following are his instructions of what not to do to be a good dancer:
By taking Arthur Murray's advice on what not to do, you will have a well-rounded idea of the ballroom dancing best practices. If you feel overwhelmed by all the tips and tricks on what to do and what not to do, don't panic! These tips are meant to be a general guideline for people to keep in mind while they are dancing. To make learning ballroom dancing even easier on you, Arthur Murray DC offers a variety of dance lessons and dance classes equipped with trained dance instructors. You can leave all you worries and questions about ballroom dancing in the hands of your instructor and enjoy dancing!
But wait, you found the love of your life, shouldn't everything else fall into place? Not exactly, from finding a venue, wedding dress, cake, florist, band, etc. it can be easy to let wedding preparation overwhelm you. We have all been there and trust us all the hard work and planning for your wedding will be worth it when you get to experience your special day!
One important part of your wedding reception, that you don't want to forget to add to your to-do list, is dancing! There is your first dance, father & bride dance, mother & groom dance, and the celebratory dancing in-between. Lucky for you, Arthur Murray dance studios have expert dance instructors to help you prepare for all of your wedding dances.
First step is picking your father/daughter dance song. Some father and daughter pairs choose the song together and some brides pick a song that has special meaning to them. Either way you want to choose a song that symbolizes your relationship with your father. Here are some suggestions of songs for the father/daughter dance:
Sample Songs
- Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder
- My Girl by The Temptations
- In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina McBride
- You've got a friend by James Taylor
- I Loved Her First by Heartland
- Landslide by Fleetwood Mac
- Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle
- Just the Way You Are by Billy Joel
- In My Life by The Beatles
If you need assistance choosing an appropriate song, ask your Arthur Murray dance instructor for recommendations.
We suggest that you practice the father & bride or mother & groom dance routine a few times before the wedding. The goal of dance lessons is to increase your confidence and comfort level. The more practice you have, the more comfortable you will be dancing together.
Over the past ten years, weddings have become more unique and custom straying away from the "cookie-cutter" traditions. By taking dance lessons with Arthur Murray's wedding dance specialist, you have the option to custom create the dance routine. Depending on your comfort and skill level, the options are endless! You can choose a routine that will wow your guests or you can practice a traditional routine and enjoy the moment with your parents. Our wedding dance specialist will assist you with your wedding dance routines!
You don't have to be a competition level dancer to enjoy the skills aquired by learning to dance. However, there are three common misconceptions about ballroom dancing lessons that may prevent you from enjoying this fun and healthy activity.
Dancing requires you to learn certain basic steps and maneuvers that you perform in a particular order in harmony with your ballroom dancing partner. You might think that you can learn everything you need to know about ballroom dancing by watching videos, such as on DVDS or on video-sharing websites. While viewing lessons on video can help you get an idea of what you need to do in ballroom dancing, there is no substitute for actually attending dance classes. Your Arthur Murray dance instructor can personalize the learning to suit your specific needs and coach you through the experiences.
It's a common misconception that ballroom dancers are born, and not made. After all, you see a talented dancer and think that the person's genetics are responsible for his or her talent. What you forget is that all good dancers must spend significant amounts of time learning dance steps and practicing them. Everyone hast the potential to learn how to dance. You just need to commit to attending classes and continue to practice until you learn how to properly move.
Once you've decided to take ballroom dancing lessons, you may think that you can learn everything you need to know in a large group. While group lessons are an excellent method to practice your moves, the instructor will not be able to devote very much time to any single student in such a setting. It's prudent for you to sign up for individual instruction as well, so the instructor can closely monitor your progress and correct any mistakes as soon as you make them.If ballroom dancing sounds like it's a good choice to help you keep active while having fun meeting people or preparing for an upcoming wedding, you should sign up for lessons today and start having fun!
You're tired of just going through the steps on the dance floor and want to get to the point where you want to be noticed by others, whether it's for a wedding dance or at a club. There are several means of boosting your dance moves, whether it is through dance lessons at a dancing studio or with your partner at couples dance classes.
1. Dancing Lessons or Dance Classes: There's no better means of improving your dance moves, other than, essentially, becoming a student of dance. Taking dance class or regular dancing lessons won't only get you the expert instruction to improve, but it will also give you regular instruction and practice so that your good dance habits can be reinforced and you can build off of the things you need work at. Ballroom dancing lessons, couples dance classes, and wedding dance lessons, for a wedding first dance, are among the more popular choices.2. Practice: So you learned some new dance moves - work on them! The phrase "practice makes perfect" is cliché, but so true. Practice around your living room, in your basement or elsewhere until you master the moves.3. Record Yourself: Set up a tripod and a video camera and record your dance steps. Then watch it back and critique yourself and discover what you need to do better to improve. Studying film of yourself can be a very effective improvement tool.
5. Learn More Than One Dance: We all have our favorite dances, but the more you learn, the better all-around dancer you'll become. Additional dances can be learned at a ballroom dancing studio and other places around town.6. Music: Don't just practice in a quiet room - get into the groove! Put on music and follow along to the beat.7. Practice for People: We get it, you're shy and you don't want to perform your dance moves in front of your family and friends. But part of dancing is dancing with confidence, and the more confident you are, the better dancer you'll be. So conquer your fear of dancing in front of people by doing it. Start with the people you're most comfortable with first.8. Have Fun: Dancing is all about having fun. And if you have fun as you do it, chances are you're going to get better at it because you're actually enjoying it. Don't perceive dancing as some daunting task that you dread. Have fun with it and see where it takes you. At Arthur Murray DC, we're all about having fun as you learn dance.
While watching Latin dances, the dancers move very quickly and rhythmically, which can be intimidating to beginners making them hesitant to try Salsa dancing or the Merengue. To determine which dance speaks to you, let's look at a little history of the Salsa and the Merengue:
The Merengue is believed to originate from the Dominican Republic. One of the historical theories on the origin of the Merengue states its origin started started with slaves working in the fields. They were chained together at their ankles and had to walk by dragging one leg, side to side. This style of dance mimics the side-to-side movements of the slaves. The Merengue is a partner dance, which is danced to an upbeat, marching tempo.
The direction is based off of the simple one-two steps, while one partner leads the other. Depending on the skill level of the dancers, the Merengue can basically be a walking dance or a mix of slow steps and spins. This is a perfect dance for beginners to learn steps and gain confidence while dancing.
The Salsa originates from Puerto Rico although it is strongly influenced by the Mambo which is from Cuba. Salsa dancing is a partner dance based off simple, repetitive, movements. The Salsa can be improvised based on the skills of the dancers or it can have a routine allowing for more intricate dance moves.
Both of these dances are great social dances and are very popular at Latin clubs and parties. Arthur Murray DC Dance studios are specialists at teaching all of the latin dances. Call today to make an appointment to learn your favorite dance.
Whether you're looking to meet new friends, trying to lose weight, or getting ready for the big wedding dance, beginning ballroom dance lessons can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. If you're feeling a bit worried about making a fool of yourself at your first dance class, you may want to consider making a few preparations ahead of time. You'll be amazed at how just a little prep work can ease your anxiety.
Talk to a Professional
If you're thinking of taking dancing lessons at a studio, such as Arthur Murray DC, you may first want to have a little chat with one of the dance teachers working there. Teachers can help you choose the appropriate class while letting you know what exactly occurs during the average dance class. You may find yourself less anxious when you know what to expect from your ballroom dance lessons.
Invest in Good Shoes
As a beginner, you do not necessarily need to have a pair of fancy dance shoes. You do, however, need a pair of shoes that fits well and will feel comfortable for an hour or more of dancing. If you don't already have a pair of shoes that meets this basic criteria, it's probably time to go shopping. Your feet will thank you later.
Bring a Friend
Singles often worry about going to ballroom dance lessons alone, fearing that all the other participants will be couples. Believe it or not, a lot of other singles enjoy taking dancing lessons. In fact, many attend ballroom dance lessons in hope of meeting other singles. Most teacher choose to rotate students through a variety of partners, allowing them to get comfortable with different dance styles. However, if you are still worried about being the only single at class, you might find it helpful to bring another single friend with for moral support.
