Nottingham Indymedia: review of 2011Tagged as: 2011 new_year review
Neighbourhoods: nottingham nottinghamshire notts uk world
Published by group: Notts Indymedia
The past year has been a particularly tumultuous one which has seen the wave of Middle Eastern revolutions, the Libyan war, the August Riots, the indignados and occupy movements, the Eurozone crisis, Hackgate, the continuing militancy of the anti-cuts movement and much more. Nottingham has felt the reverberations of many of these global events, with an Occupy Nottingham camp in the Market Square, anti-police riots, the biggest trade union march for decades and many solidarity and anti-cuts actions and demonstrations.

January saw many issues carried over from the previous year. The Ratcliffe Trial was to have been concluded, but all came to a shuddering halt as the truth about Mark Kennedy was unearthed by the mainstream media. Student-led protests against cuts to EMA also continued.

February saw Nottingham respond to the revolutions beginning to spread across the Middle East, with solidarity demonstrations and concerns about the involvement of local arms dealers Heckler & Koch. In other arms trade-related news, a Nottinghamshire businessman was implicated in an international arms trafficking racket. Workers at Nottinghamshire County Council were the first to take strike action against the cuts. The Beeston offices of notorious work capability assessors, Atos Origin, had windows put in and were graffitied by 'Angry People'.

March saw local campaigns against the cuts step-up a gear as the city council met to set it's budget for the next year, dogged by protesters. Protesters disrupted the council meeting and chased Jon Collins around Market Square. Later in the month Nottingham residents would be among the hundreds of thousands who joined the TUC march in London. Direct action was taken by anti-capitalists against a branch of Tesco's and Natwest bank.

In April, animal rights activists were pleased to announce a local success as a Derby Road shop committed to no longer selling fur. Campaigners concerned about the future of the NHS started to organise with health-focused Uncut actions, a national day of action and a public meeting cheekily titled "Kill the Bill." New revelations emerged about the "Nottingham Two," Hicham Yezza and Rizwaan Sabir, arrested at the University of Nottingham, in a paper by Dr Rod Thornton that was highly critical of the University.

As is traditional, May got started with the usual celebration of International Workers' Day. A campaign to defend university whistleblower, Rod Thornton, after he was suspended. A dispersal order was imposed and resisted by local activists. Campaigners for the NHS got to grips with the government's "listening" process while later in the month, Notts Uncut joined other groups nationally in acting to defend the NHS. Anarchists attacked a Nottingham company responsible for selling CCTV cameras to local schools in an action against social control.

Local Tory MP and Justice Minister, Ken Clarke, was targeted by direct action against his constituency office and the West Bridgford Conservative Club in the aftermath of comments he made about rape and cuts to legal aid. More concerns about surveillance were raised following the announcement that the City Council's Workplace Parking Levy would use a spy car equipped with ANPR technology. The month ended with the first of the year's large national strikes as teachers and civil servants too action in defence of their pensions on June 30th.
Notts Uncut: Emergency Operation | Workplace Parking Levy to use ANPR | All Out For June 30th!
The 63rd anniversary of the NHS was on July 5th, campaigners marked the date with a demo at the London Road Roundabout and followed it up with a "trial" of Health Secretary Andrew Lansley. A Reclaim Nottingham party toured the city centre in an attempt to reclaim public space. Activists held a protest at the Morton Hall migrant prison. Vivisection breeder, Highgate Farm, had a delivery vehicle put out of action by animal rights activists.

In August, the rioting and looting which had begun in London following the police shooting of Mark Duggan, spread to Nottingham. Nottingham was also at the forefront of post-riot repression with courts handing down ridiculous sentences and city council leader Jon Collins calling for rioters and/or their families to be evicted from council homes.

In September good news came through that anti-fascist defendants in London had been acquitted, much to the delight of supporters in Nottingham, while Tescos lost their battle for a new store in Keyworth. At the end of the month, a protest was held at Atos Healthcare as part of a national day of action against the company, Nottinghamshire Police arrested two of the participants.

On October 15th, Nottingham joined the growing ranks of occupied cities around the world. Originally planned as a 24 hour occupation of the Market Square, the camp is still there at the time of writing. Meanwhile an arson attack was carried out against a vehicle at Nottingham Prison.

November saw the occupation continue and indeed grow, while the two protesters arrested at the Atos Healthcare demonstration in September were charged with aggravated trespass. Council Leader Jon Collins' was visited by a No Evictions demonstration outside his home to protest against his plans to evict social tenants found to have been involved in the August riots. An old Tory social club was temporarily occupied for an anti-cuts free space. The month ended on a high with the public sector strike action in defence of pensions and the largest demonstration in Nottingham in decades.

As Christmas approached, the occupation found itself surrounded by the "Winter Wonderland", nevertheless they persisted continuing through Christmas and inviting supporters to join them for New Year's Eve. Nottinghamshire Police failed to get into the festive spirit and took it upon themselves to arrest two people at the Notts Uncut "Christmas Special" and a third at the police station later that evening. They also wrongfully confiscated a student photographers material outside the Occupy camp. Meanwhile, the dubious smell associated with Mark Kennedy returned as the first report into undercover policing was released, to widespread criticism, while eight former lovers of undercover officers began legal proceedings against the Met.

The new site is getting ready...
In four weeks time we should be able to have the new site up!
There are still a number of things that don't work exactly the way they should (call them 'glitches' if you like). Next to that the wording & names aren't correct yet and also the look and feel has some sharp edges.
We're working on taking out the known errors as soon as possible. If you find any glitches, let us know here: http://demo.nabuurtest.com/en/group/website-development/project/task/fou...
The next to weeks will be spent on:
- Going through the site, making sure the texts and the menu's are in order.
- General content, such as the 'Support' pages and the 'News' section will also be created.
- Translators can start translating these pages into French, Spanish, Dutch and any other required language.
- The 'techies' will work on migrating the content of the current NABUUR site to the new site.
The final development cycle will then be used for finding and repairing bugs. We could even organise a real bughunt!!
The new site should go live on the 24th of June. This will still be a beta version, the rest of the year is reserved for improvements and adding new functionality.
Add your bit to this site

About 580,000 steam H20 Mop Steam Cleaners recalled by Thane International Due to shock and burn hazards. The company says the power cord can unexpectedly wear down and expose the wiring, posing a shock and burn hazard. Thane has received 10 reports of incidents involving shock injuried and 8 reports of people being burned.
The H2O Mop is an electrically-powered appliance for cleaning a variety of floor surfaces that uses microfiber or disposable cloths on a cleaning head through which steam is dispersed. H2O Mops are white with a purple water tank with the "H20" and "M" symbol printed on the top of the cleaning head. The model numbers of affected units are 808.092 and OEM-TV-001. This recall only includes H2O Mops with the following reference numbers printed on the label on the back of the product: 200709198 to 200803148 or H20M1000 to M-H20M1198.
The Steam Cleaners have been sold through Thane television informercials, on the web and by QVC since June of 2007.
Consumers should immediately stop using recalled steam cleaners and contact Thane to receive a free repair kit. Thane is sending repair kits to all consumers who purchased recalled units directly from Thane.

A construction laborer works with their hands in a variety of construction work. Some of their tasks include digging holes, ditches, and trenches; mixing concrete; painting and plastering; and installing drywall. They help to build and maintain buildings and infrastructure such as roads and highways. They also set up and clean up work sites. Construction laborers work in a variety of settings. Some work outdoors, while others work indoors, at great heights, or underground. Construction workers typically work a standard 40-hour week, although may also experience production halts due to dangerous weather.Read More...
It is vital that construction laborers follow safety procedures. Many construction sites include dangerous equipment and terrain, and sites may pose a potential hazard not only for construction laborers, but pedestrians around the work site as well. Construction sites must be kept clean and free of unwanted materials to reduce the potential for injuries. Construction laborers working on the ground near heavy machinery must also be sure that the machinery operators have visual contact with them at all times.
A construction laborer's needed training depends on their job's complexity. Most receive on-the-job training, while others must go through apprenticeship programs; an apprenticeship can take anywhere from two to four years to complete. Apprenticeships provide paid training, as well as 400 hours inside a classroom learning basic construction knowledge such as blueprint reading, tools and equipment, and safety procedures.

Construction Laborers' salaries may rise greatly for those who assume a higher-end position such as a Construction Manager. The average Construction Manager brings home $73K per year. Construction Laborers most often move into positions as Construction Foremans or Construction Project Managers; those groups report median salaries that are $19K higher and $38K higher, respectively.
Construction Laborers seem to wield many skills on the job. Lucky workers who know Welding can expect a significant pay bump, scoring salaries 53 percent above average. Cleaning and Drywall are also correlated to pay that is above average, with increases between 12 percent and 53 percent. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Painting, framing, and Roofing Materials Installation. Many workers who know Machine Operation also know Roofing Materials Installation.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Construction Laborers with a lot of experience do not necessarily enjoy more money. Survey participants with less than five years' experience pocket $29K on average, but those with five to 10 years of experience enjoy a much bigger median of $34K. Construction Laborers claiming one to two decades of experience make an estimated median of $38K. Old hands boasting more than twenty years of relevant experience report pay that is more or less commensurate with that extensive experience; average earnings for this group come out to approximately $43K.
Construction Laborers will find that Chicago offers an impressive pay rate, one which exceeds the national average by 110 percent. Construction Laborers can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Boston (+61 percent), Philadelphia (+43 percent), Las Vegas (+31 percent), and New York (+17 percent). Those in the field find the lowest salaries in Houston, 18 percent below the national average. Phoenix and Dallas are a couple other places where companies are known to pay below the median — salaries are 18 percent lower and 2 percent lower, respectively.

Driver jailed for farmworker death crashComment on this story
Mbombela - An Mpumalanga truck driver who collided with a goods train killing 24 people last July, was sentenced to seven years in jail on Wednesday.
George Mandlazi, 33, of Sibhejane village near Malalane, was sentenced in the Nelspruit circuit of the High Court in Pretoria.
He was found guilty of 24 counts of culpable homicide and one of negligent driving.
Last year, Mandlazi admitted that he drove negligently and unintentionally killed 24 farm workers on July 13, 2012, after the truck he was driving collided with a goods train travelling from Emalahleni to Maputo, Mozambique.
The truck was ferrying 47 seasonal farm workers between Malalane and Hectorspruit when the accident happened, killing 19 people on the scene.
Five others died on their way to hospitals while 23 others sustained injuries.
Judge Nomsa Khumalo said Mandlazi was very reckless when he chose to ignore two warning signs before crossing the railway and also failed to heed hooting from the train driver.

Dealing with sickness just throws a monkey wrench into the schedule and routine, doesn't it?
What seemed like a normal evening in our home the other night, took a turn for the worse when my younger son vomited all over the hallway rug. I assumed we were in for a night of vomiting as my older son experienced over a week ago. I quickly counted back and there were nine days in between which is a long incubation period. So either this virus has a real nine day incubation period or this son caught this from someone other than his brother.
We took the dirty clothes off my son and I put the dirty clothes into the washer. I launched into washing the hallway rug by hand, without much success. My husband calmed our son down and put him in the shower to clean off. Then I prepared 'barf bins' and gave instruction to take it with him whenever he walked. As usual he thought he knew better than me, and the next thing we knew, there was barf everywhere, again. It was on my comforter, on my bedroom rug, and another 6 foot by 12 foot splash all over the hardwood floor.
My husband stripped my son and put him back in the shower as his bare feet were covered. My husband used a rag to pick up chunks of food on the hardwood floor while I prepared mop water and then mopped the floor. I washed the bedroom rug by hand (without much success). The bedroom reeked of bile and vomit!
I set up the bed with a lot of towels all over everything in case he vomited in the night and was unable to get to the 'barf bin' on time. I slept in the big bed with him.
My husband complained about not liking cleaning up the barf. Well, I don't like it either but someone has to do it.
My husband and I then felt stomach sick and we were both worried that the three of us would all be sick on the same night, having caught it from our oldest son.
Luckily, he did not get sick again. By noon the next day he was begging for solid food. He has been fine ever since. I am grateful for that.
Both my husband and I did not vomit and we woke up feeling fine. Again, more gratitude.
I then spent the next day doing laundry. The bedroom smelled so bad and I was afraid it was on some other linens. I stripped the bed and washed everything which included a quilt and two different comforters plus the sheets and mattress pad. I washed all the rags and clothes with vomit on them. The washer and dryer were going all day!
In the evening when my husband was home he used our carpet cleaner to wash the rugs. That is a big project. I am so happy he did that instead of me. He said the hallway was hard to do due to the nap of the rug, and it seems the vacuum cleaner was not sucking the dirty water up like it should have been.
This morning the rug in the hallway still reeks. This travels down the staircase and lingers in the foyer. What a wonderful smell to greet visitors with as they enter our front door!
I guess now I am going to have to get one of the powerful chemical cleaners out of my cabinet, and scrub it by hand. Even if it is not 'clean' it will be so saturated with artificial fragrance chemicals that the vomit smell may be masked. The nap in this hallway rug is difficult to clean by hand.
As you can imagine, all of this threw a monkey wrench into the schedule. We didn't do any homeschooling yesterday as a result. Today we woke up to a snowstorm. Public school was cancelled. However out of guilt for having not done anything yesterday, we 'did school' today. We plan to go sledding this afternoon with neighbors.
I don't like to post details of my husband's job search on my blog. But I can't contain myself: I have to share he had a great interview today for a new position which he feels his is very qualified to do. I was worried about him traveling in the middle of the snowstorm in order to go do the interview, but he made it just fine. Wish us luck!

Leek's parking policy is driving people away from town claims Stockport man
Posted: August 15, 2014|
A STOCKPORT man who has been bringing his family to Leek to go shopping for many years claims the town is gaining a bad reputation for its parking policy.
Shaun Smith said that after 40 years of driving with no parking offences he had received two, both in Leek.
Mr Smith, 60, said: "The first was in the Silk Street car park where I had my disabled mother-in-law with me, so I parked against a wall with double yellow lines displaying the correct disabled badges.
"On returning from shopping I found I had been booked as car parks are different to roads and you cannot park on double yellow lines in a car park, unlike a road. I thought where I parked was a continuation of the road.

More than 170,000 new cars were registered in July
"It is not clear the main car park is off to the right. I saw the car parking warden who admitted I was not the only person with disabled badges who had been booked there.
"My appeal was turned down
"Is this sinking to a new low, where an authority is leaving a parking trap to catch disabled people and taking money from them?
"As a consequence of this my disabled mother-in-law will not come to Leek as I wouldn't have parked there if she had not been with me."
Mr Smith said the second offence occurred on Portland Street three weeks ago, next to a dropped kerb.
He said: "The back wheel of my car was next to the dropped kerb. There are double yellow lines, then a gap and then the crossing, enticing people to park there.
"We like to come to Leek for its local shops, market and eat in the local cafes. If the town wants to drive people away this parking policy is the way to do it.
"After talking to people in Cheshire I was told that it was bad news if you parked in Leek as it has a reputation for issuing penalty fines to people."
A spokesman for Staffordshire Moorlands District Council said: "The number of parking notices issued since 2007 has decreased and, far from being one of the worst areas, the evidence shows that the Moorlands has one of the lowest level rates in the county. The council's priority at all times is safety, and parking on the access road to Silk Street car park is restricted for that reason. Double yellow lines indicate the start of the car park and signs also welcome drivers.
"Further signs are posted on the side of the toilets to inform drivers that they are in a car park so it is clearly marked. Holders of blue badges can park for free in the council's pay and display car parks, but should not park on double yellow lines where obstruction is caused.
"With regard to Portland Street, the photographs clearly show that the vehicle was parked over a dropped, tactile kerb.
"These tactile markings are in place to assist blind and visually impaired people, wheelchair users and parents with pushchairs cross safely and it is important that these areas are kept clear at all times.
"The civil enforcement officers in the Moorlands operate to the same Staffordshire-wide policies as other councils to provide a standardised and fair system across the county. It is their job to deter irresponsible parking and to keep traffic flowing and roads clear enabling people to make the journeys they want to make and supporting businesses and the local economy."

The Wonderful Indonesia Fremantle to Bali Race and Rally 2013 is expected to be competitive with the participation of several elite sailors, including Western Australia's decorated sailor Paul Eldrid.
Fremantle to Bali Race 2013
Eldrid is one of Western Australia's most successful sailors, in his youth he went to Ireland to win the world championship in the humble Mirror dinghy, and since then has chalked up victories in a wide variety of local, national and international sailing events.
Now known mainly for his accomplishments on the offshore racing scene, he heads a list of high profile entries in the Wonderful Indonesia Fremantle to Bali Race and Rally, often known as the Race to the Island of the Gods, due to start May 4, 2013.
Expected to sail the boat he co-owns with Scott Disley, General Lee, he says of the upcoming blast north, 'all the boats in the racing field are very competitive, so there's no reason why it shouldn't be a close race.'
Talking about his main rivals, Tony Mitchell's Sled and Garry McNally's Black Betty he commented, 'Sled is a very capable boat, she'd do very well in the race I would have thought, Black Betty is a very, very strong boat, strong all round, they should also do particularly well.'
Paul was also a helmsman on Alan Brierty's Limit that broke the course record in taking line honours in the last race, two years ago. The previous record had been set in the inaugural race by W.A. sailing legend Rolly Tasker.
The Fremantle to Bali race is organised by Fremantle Sailing Club in partnership with the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Ecomony. The event was first run in 1981, and at 1,440 nautical miles long, is more than twice the distance of the famous Sydney to Hobart Race.

May 6, 2013 - To date, little or no rain has fallen in the month of May, except for some light amounts in west-central Virginia. Precipitation over the past 90 days has been near normal plus or minus an inch or two over much of the area. Areas in the central and lower Delmarva Peninsula are running 2 to 3 inches above normal. In far northern Delaware, Maryland west of the Chesapeake Bay, the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, and in the Virginia counties adjoining West Virginia, precipitation is running 2 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches below average. Year to date precipitation is following a similar trend.
Current (May 6) streamflow data from the U.S. Geological Survey shows that streamflows are around normal or below normal. Streamflow tends to quickly respond to rainfall or a lack of rainfall. Groundwater levels are also generally near or below normal and tend to respond slowly to rainfall or a lack of rainfall.
The weather outlook through the next couple of weeks calls for above normal rainfall (and possibly much above normal early in the period. Temperatures are expected to average out to about normal for the period, though above normal days appear to be a bit more possible than below normal days. The Climate Prediction Center's 30 day outlook for May calls for near normal precipitation and temperatures. The 90 day outlook for May through July calls for near average precipitation and above normal temperatures.
The outlook for water resources for the next several weeks looks good in the south but fair in the north. Increasing periods of dry weather in Maryland (except the areas adjoining the Chesapeake Bay), the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, and northern Virginia have led to increasing longer term precipitation deficits in these areas. As a result, increasing stress on water resources and supplies may occur in the coming weeks and months unless the frequency and amount of rain increases. Above normal rainfall is expected over the next week or two (in the short term), but the effects of this rainfall on water resources has yet to be seen. Further south, the frequency and amount of rain has led to sufficient to abundant water supplies and resources and the current rainfall outlook suggests that these conditions will continue for awhile.
In summary, the southern portion of the MARFC service area has sufficient (even abundant further south) water resources and water supplies, though these conditions are starting to be stressed further north. These water resources are likely to maintain current levels or begin a long term decrease in the upcoming weeks but remain sufficient with no water shortages expected in the next several weeks. Above normal rainfal in the short term is expected to give water resources and supplies a boost.

Far from a happy ending
'do you Alice Jade Bell take Bradley David Thomas Collins to be your wedded husband?'
I looked over my shoulder at all the guests that were sat waiting patiently for me to say 'i do' but i just couldn't do it, i frowned at them all, as they all copied my expression, i turned back to the priest and a worried looking Bradley
'im sorry i cant do this' i whispered, then came a surround sound of gasps from the guests
I took my hand out of Bradleys and stepped off the mini stage we were stood on, and walked as quickly as i could in my stupidly high shoes out of the church. As i reached the doors i pushed them both open, the warm july air hit me in the face, i looked up at the sky for some strength not to cry when i saw a bench, i kicked my shoes off and left them on the path and half ran to sit down.
'Alice?' i heard the familiar voice of my best friend poppy, i looked up to see her covering her eyes with her hand and scowering the grave yard for me
'alice? Where are you? This isnt funny' she shouted
'oh god has she legged it?' i heard my extremely gay friend Jake come running out the doors
'you cant say god, while were at a church stupid' poppy turned round to face him
'sorry mrs Sunday school' jake bowed in front of her, which made me smile.
I stood up 'hey' i waved my arm until they both saw me and they came running
'what the hell babe?' poppy was first to reach me, she knelt in front of me not bothering about her bridesmaid dress
'im sorry i just cant do this, i don't think i love him anymore' i sniffed desperately trying to hold my tears at bay
'who would think a soap star having drama outside of work' jake said out of breathe when he finally reached us
I was a very well known actress in England, on a very famous soap and the worst thing is Bradley was my on screen love aswell, we had met when we first started at the same time 2 years ago, and having to spend so much time being a loved up couple, we became a real life loved up couple.
'who knew' i tried to joke
Poppy slapped my knee 'shut up din!' she shot at jake 'how long have you felt this way?' poppy stared at me with her big Disney princess eyes, her blonde hair gently blowing in the wind, i had known poppy since i was 11 when she moved here from wales, i had to show her around the school and be nice and we instantly became best friend, she was the same height as me, 5'10 and a petite size 8 bitch, jake on the other hand, i had met at college in drama class he was an actor but only small parts as he didn't want it to go to his head, jake was handsome, dark brown hair and brown eyes and natural tanned skin but as gay as the wind, which he never hid and i loved him for that, but over the years we had all become the best of friends and i couldn't imagine my life without them
'i have been thinking it for a while, but thought it was cold feet' i answered poppys question while fiddling with my hands on my lap
Jake took the seat next to me and put his arm round my shoulder 'why didn't you tell us?'
I shrugged and sniffed 'i don't know' i whispered out
'oh babe' poppy put her hand in the mix of mine
'alice?' me, poppy and jake all looked in the direction of the voice, it was my mum
'pat?' jake shouted to get her attention then as she saw us she hurried over
Jake got up from the bench and offered my mum is seat such a gentlemen
'thanks jake' mum patted his arm and took over from his job, she placed her arm around my shoulder and pulled me into her for a hug, which made me cry
'hush hush' mum patted my head as i sobbed like a baby
'im sorry' i sobbed
'alice?' came another voice, but i couldn't move as my mum held me so tightly
'get down' i saw poppy pull jake to the floor
'i can see you ya know' the voice got closer, it was Bradley
'your such a heartless bitch'
'hey' jake got up from the floor and stood face to face with Bradley, Bradley instantly holted
'can i get around please' Bradley asked jake
'i don't think so' jake managed to say in a very manly voice, even though jake was gay he was hugely toned and not many people tried anything funny with him
'i want to talk to-' Bradley tried to explain
'are you deaf?' poppy added in'
'mom' i patted her hand as an indication to let go of my head, when she did she handed me a hankichief
'can we talk later?' i tried to talk to Bradley around jakes towering body
'i want to talk now, i have my whole family in there, and they were watching when you ran off'
'yes i rememeber what happened' i said flatly
'are you coming back in?' poppy, jake and mom were sat on the bench watching me and Bradley had a high voiced 'conversation'
'no im not' i sniffed
'your not?' Bradley stepped closer to me
'no im sorry but i cant marry you'
'you cant or you wont?' he had abit of anger in his voice
'this isn't the time to be cryptic alice' she lifted me face up with his hand so i was looking at him
'i don't think im in love with you'
'oh for fuck sake, and you couldn't have told me this before today' he shouted which made me jump
'i thought it was just cold feet' my face still suspended with his hand
'you-you- i have no words to call you right now' Bradley dropped my face and span on his heal, and marched off towards the church, mumbling to himself
'can we go home please' i wiped my nose with the back of my hand
'such a lady' jake screwed his face up at my nose wiping
I sat on the end of my bed still dressed in my wedding dress
'come one get out of that' poppy came in my room without knocking
'i want some booze'
'well let me undo the dress and we get get drunk' she smiled at me
'sounds like a good plan' i turned around so poppy could start untying the ribbon
'im ordering dominos' jake announced as he walked into my bedroom, like poppy not knocking, and by jakes horror i was half dressed 'oh put some clothes on girl'
'knock then' i laughed for the first time in days
I stepped out of my dress as it pooled at my feet, i walked around my bedroom in my bra and pants
'oh my days, your not even weaing matching underwear on your wedding day' poppy covered her mouth in shock
I smiled and pulled on some sweat pants and a white tee, pulled my hair up into a bun on the top of my head, and started frantically wiping the make-up off of my face
'im ordering the pizza now, pops do you have any money on you?'
'oh uh no' poppy frowned
'i have cash in the living room, ill pay'
'thats not fair' jake badly acted in front of me
'it doesn't matter, i have more money than both you off' i walked towards jake and slapped his bum 'now get out of my room and order whatever you want'
Jake happily skipped out of my room followed by poppy, obviously the promise of food fixed everything, except being the dumper of someone at the alter
'come on' jake shouted from the living room
I walked out of my bedroom and i dumped myself in between my two best friends on the sofa
'how you feel doll face?' jake hugged me
'abit hollow if im honest'
'to be expected' jake patted my head, the door bell rang and we all looked at each other
'that cant be the pizza, thats way to quick to be dominos' poppy frowned
'ill go shall i?' i smiled and pushed myself off the sofa, as i swang the door open i was surprised to see Bradley, still dressed in his wedding suit, with red eyes and tear stained cheeks
'brad? What you doing?'
'well i wanted to talk to you, and i need to get some stuff' he sniffed looking at his shoes
'are you drunk?' i asked as i got a wiff of booze
'yes! Ive been to a party, you know the reception after a wedding'
'it happened?' i asked in shock
'yes what else are the guest suppose to do when the bride runs'
'oh well-um' i didn't quite know what to say
'yes exactly, can we talk then?' Bradley asked again while trying to keep himself standing up by leaning on the door frame
'is it a good idea, as it only happened a couple of hours ago and your drunk?'
'who is it?' poppy shouted from the living room
'oh poppy and jake are here?
'yeah' i lent against the wall
'guess i should leave then'
'alice are we even together still or are we broken up?' Bradley sniffed and itched his head
'oh thought you had gone to narnia' poppy appeared behind me opening the door to see who it is
'hi poppy' brad said through gritted teeth
'oh brad' she froze 'i thought you were the pizza'
'nope just me' he sighed 'ill see you at work tomorrow' he turned and walked away
Poppy slammed the door shut and leant against it 'oh my god' she mouthed
'yeah, I need a whole tube of pringles to myself' I screwed up my face and hung my head
'we can send jake out' poppy put her arm around my shoulder and we wondered back into the living room
'oh so you are still here, I thought you had both fucked off' jake said then downed his glass of wine
'brad was at the door' poppy whispered at jake as we walked past
'oh shit, you alright doll?
'yeah I feel bad for him'
'I want to call him a prick but he hasn't really done anything' jake shrugged
'and what happened to team alice' poppy narrowed her eyes at him
'guys please, I want to eat until I fall into a coma' I picked up a bag on skittles and shoved loads in my mouth
'or get diabetes' jake snatched them off me, I frowned at him and tried to climb over him, I straddled him because it creeps him out so he handed them straight back, as I sat back in my seat with a smirk on my face my iphone flashed into life
'its jenny' poppy screwed up her nose and handed me my phone
'hi jenny'
'babe what the hell' she screeched down the phone
'who told you?'
'well brad phoned alex, alex phoned jeff, jeff told sally and sally text me' she listed
'oh right'
'so ill ask again what the hell?'
'I just don't love him'
'and you waited until the actual wedding day to run away and you didn't even tell him'
'what were you thinking?'
'I thought it was cold feet, so I didn't say anything'
'oh god, this is bad, what are you going to do at work?'
'im just going to turn up and explain to alex'
'you need jeff and neal to write that you break up, you cant be acting with him that your in love'
'can alex not?'
'no alex is only the director'
'its going to be so awkward' jenny breathed
'im sorry but I couldn't marry him'
'you don't have to explain anything to anyone' poppy said in the back ground
'and you can tell poppy to keep her nose out, im trying to be supportive about work' jenny retaliated
'I know you are and I love you for it'
'so tell poppy to fuck off'
I covered the end of the phone 'jenny says hi' I smiled
'I heard that….so ill see you tomorrow yeah?' jenny asked
'yeah see you at 11 bye'
'bye babes'
I slumped down in the chair 'will you go to tesco?' me and poppy both looked over at jake
'me?' he held his hand flat against his chest with an open mouth
'yes please, your stronger so you can carry more bags of fat'
'jeez what I do for you girls' he tutted and got up 'what do you want?'
'literally loads of crisps and sweets' I smiled sweetly
'and coke' poppy bounced up and down
'you mean the drink yeah?' jake raised an eyebrow
'of cousre' she stopped bouncing and pouted
'fine ill be back in a jiffy'
'alice im sorry I cant just change the script at the last minute' jeff rubbed his chin 'we have no intention to break up your characters on the show'
'oh' I put my head in my hands
'unless what?'
'we kill you off'
'what?' I asked in shock
'we can kill off your character lindsey'
'I don't want to leave' I whispered trying to hold back my tears
'you either stay and your characters Lindsey and peter stay together or we kill you off?' jeff looked at his sheet of paper
'can I let you know by the end of the day?'
'yes, we have to start recording soon, so go get your hair and make up done' jeff smiled and walked out the room
I again put my head in my hands and started to sob, I either stay in an on screen relationship with brad or I leave the show, I love this show
'babe' came a whisper from the door
I sniffed and looked up to see jenny's head around the door
'can I come in?'
'sure' I sniffed again, jenny knelt down in front of me and placed her flat hands on my thighs
'I know this might sound heartless, but you need to get ready'
'okay im coming' jenny stood up and held her hand out for me to take, we walked out of jeff's office and along the sets until we reached hair and make-up
'you look like shit' Sally the make-up artist said with horror in her face
'yeah thanks' I muttered
'go easy on her sal' jenny looked her up and down
'sorry' sally ducked her head, sally was the best make-up artist in the country, she was from Newcastle but moved to London for her big break, she was also conveniently married to jeff, so she had a job the whole time he did, she tried her damn hardest to make my face look perfection, after I had cried my face was red and blotchy, she didn't say a word to me the whole time I sat in her chair until she was finished
'there you go, im finished pet' she smiled and turned away, I climbed out of the chair and slowly made my way to Marcus the hairdresser
'hheeeeyyy' he waved at me
'hey' I smiled a tight smile
'oh someones not happy today, want to tell uncle Marcus about it'
'im good' I knotted my hands 'thanks though'
'fair enough' he started pulling on strands on my hair and styled it into a hippy styled hair do, loose waves, I had long black hair that was down to my waist, with green eyes, slim size 10 figure but like every girl I had fat days, and that's what my bridget jones sucky in pants were for, they were classed as my best buy.
'all done, got to see Claire in wardrobe babe' Marcus kissed me on the cheek 'chin up'
As I made my way to Claire I saw Bradley in the distant, laughing with a girl and they were both holding cups of coffee, I slowly walked up towards them with a smile on my face, but bradleys face dropped when he noticed me
'hi alice how are you?' the smiley girl talking to Bradley jumped in the conversation
'im okay thanks you?'
'im good, how did the wedding go? Brad wont tell me anything' brad visibly tensed
'uh id rather not talk about it'
'whats the big secret? Did you not turn up?' she laughed
'i ran out' i whispered

Jazz is something to which I had to make an extra effort to listen, at first anyway. Like most people who don't listen to it, jazz, on the surface, sounds like a bunch of relatively random notes going by and seems to have no real structure or recognizable melody. Of course, this is not true at all, but it's just much more complex than your typical pop style (verse, chorus, verse, chorus, etc. set to the exact same music), so most people don't have the patience to try and understand it.
The secret to jazz, of course, is improvisation. Against most non-jazz listeners conception, improvising doesn't mean playing whatever you want. To improvise is to take the melody and changes (harmony) and stretch and embellish them so you still have the same piece, but you're not just playing the same damn thing over and over and over, like in most pop songs. Of course, some jazz musicians aren't always so great at improvising, and therefore, the most famous jazz musicians whose names we've all heard (like John Coltrane and Miles Davis) are so great because they could do just that: stretch the "idea" of the piece without going into another world (although sometimes, the latter is the intention, and it can be cool too). Good improvisers can express themselves as creatively as possible, while simultaneously displaying their understanding of the piece by not losing touch with the melody, rhythm, and changes.
I also like jazz because its harmonic structure is so much more complex (and therefore allows for more possibilities) than almost all other forms of music. Whether you are playing it or composing it, you have such a wide variety of chords to use. Only in jazz can you use some crazy chord that, without any accompaniment, sounds really dissonant and awful. But put in the right place of a piece, it can be so perfect.
Like almost any form of music, jazz is best when listened to live. However, I think it is even more so for jazz. I can't really explain why, but I know that there is some stuff that when I listen to it at home, it's pretty good, but when I hear it live, it's just absolutely incredible. The down side of this is, since there are relatively few jazz musicians around, you have to pretty much be in a big city to find good jazz.
There are, however, a few things I don't like about jazz. First, and I recognize I am not the first to say this, but there seems to be a lot of musicians who think expressing themselves through improvisation means playing as many notes as possible during their solo. Don't get me wrong, these guys know what they are doing, but I think they have this preconceived notion that to be a truly good improviser, you must play these crazy fast notes. That's so lame. Sometimes that's great, but to do it routinely is way too much. The cliche has it right: sometimes less is more. Piano players can be the worst. Usually, such a piano player will have his right hand flying all over playing tons of notes, while the left hand just does nothing but play the same changes with almost no variation. There is almost no conscious effort to think about the harmony. I think it's lame that some people think improvising is only melodic. That's what makes Thelonius Monk so great, because even though he could play as fast as the next guy, he knew that you don't have to play fast and only melodically when you play jazz. And Monk also plays the coolest chords.
Another thing that has really started annoying me is a general lack of creativity in terms of the overall format of jazz. In general, here's how jazz works. The piece begins with everyone playing the melody of the song. Then, throughout the piece, everyone takes turns soloing while the rhythm section continues in the background. Then, at the end of the piece, maybe after exchanging fours a few times (and it always has to be exchanged with the drummer - never anybody else), the musicians play the melody again. You know exactly how and when it's going to end (usually with everyone dragging out the last chord until everyone's played every note over that last chord). It's the same almost every damn time. Why can't these guys get together and actually improvise with another, ie, bring harmony out of the background and actually plan ahead to do something together? Why can't the sax solo, for example, and then the sax and the piano "solo" together? Sure, sometimes jazz musicians do this, but very rarely. And those that can, in my opinion, are superior players. Why can't the drummer, piano player, or bassist just shut the hell up for once? Sure they're the rhythm section, but they don't always have to play. The piano player just always seems to feel that he has to be tinkling away when somebody else is soloing; either do it in conjunction with the soloist, ie, play off each other, or else give it a rest sometimes. Come on guys, for claiming to be so creative, you seem to fit right into the same mold every time you pick up your instruments. That's the current state of a lot of jazz.
Further, I think this is just a symptom of the continual yuppification of jazz. You can see it right away: almost everyone is dressed up in formal clothes. It feels so stiff and stuffy, almost like classical music. Jazz isn't meant to be played in that kind of environment; it's stifling and inhibiting. And then, what's the deal with everyone feeling the need to clap after every solo?! If you like the solo and you're into it and you just can't help yourself and you clap or cheer, cool. But if you're just doing it because you feel you have to, then stick those hands in your pockets. Most of the time, there is this awkward delay between when the solo ends and when everyone claps. This means that you aren't into it and you are just clapping because you feel obliged to. If you were into it, you would just be right there and nail the end of the solo without thinking. I think this little clapping-after-every-solo thing has got to go. Jazz needs to be more spontaneous and less formulaic.
Lastly, it's pretty pathetic that jazz musicians think they are so creative but can't come up with a creative name for their band. 90% of jazz bands are just a guy's name with "quartet" or something similar slapped on, or else have the word "jazz" in it ("The Jazz Giants," "The Jazz Messengers," "Jazz Weather Report," etc). I've heard many say that one reason for these uninspired band names is that jazz bands tend to be constantly fluctuating, with members coming and going. Maybe so, but I can't imagine it's much worse than most bands in any other genre of music. Even if it is worse than in other genres, it's a perfect opportunity for these guys to exercise their creativity.
All that being said, I still really wish I could play some decent jazz ... but I just can't find the time to practice.

It's raspberry season!
Just about every morning for the last week or so, I have been picking a handful or two of fresh, ripe, ruby red raspberries to eat with my cereal. On our holiday Monday morning for breakfast, I decided to do something special with them and make Summer Holiday Raspberry Chocolate Pancakes.
To make the pancakes, mix up your usual batch of pancake batter, then simply throw in a handful of fresh raspberries and semi-sweet chocolate chips, to taste. Fry pancakes in a frying pan or on a griddle as usual. Serve with real Canadian maple syrup and a dollop of butter for real holiday decadence.
I'm not sure who enjoyed these pancake treats more, Nate or Graham!

Comments by Jeca
blair and her little bubble call humphrey, where she doesnt care that her bf is on a bad sad time,chuck too,nate loosing his site,rufly in the edge of divorse and she didnt noticed any of this ....she got new friends who give a shi. about her and her party
i like that lola is the smartest of all rhodes, she gave serena a lesson, and at least diana was honest with chuck, i didnt love her till now
william :after a lot of crapy episodes the network will give us another season with the same writers....
serena,lily,carol,ivy,lola: what? buuuuuuuuu
Ivy: guys listen, we may get a shot to rescue this show ....
Carol : great, but I'm a guess star so I don't care.
Lily: what? But I'm a regular so what's ur plan?
Serena: and can we get some interesting story for me too?
Ivy: sure, so are u in?
Serena: yeah,what do we need to do?
Ivy: get fired safran and probably half staff of the writers too
lily: just that?
Ivy: just that...
Serena: mom can u make some calls ?
Lily: (on the phone already) ...ssshhh I'm taking care of this....
in this one im actually happy wont last i dont care if blair ends up alone, but at least not with humphrey ,he plays the situation to his favor and then puts that stupid innocent face to receive what is left ,besides he's been playing with everyone to obtain his book,his status,his new gf and at the same time judging everyone for what they do.....
I think serena will be a gg version or carrie (satc) she and chuck deserves better, new and better loves and lives ,dan can go write to the himalaya, ivy will give some money to the rhodes to prove she's not that mean,they will like her again but for a while,till we know William isn't lola's dad, carol is lying,to get mney,and Blair Williams hace to get a Job to pay her bills,she's poor now,then g will save her ass and will use that in the season finale to do something really really bad ,to who? Is the important question.
@thefan nice one , and as soon as she forgot the baby and chuck she will let off dan one day ,i say too but now she just needs to sleep with rufus and Cyrus to do all the men in this sssss
Cece may die here but the real death is for dair, sorry but this dair ,this season is just SO out of place , I can't, not matter what the writers's logic is, to undestand why after chair and all this arcs dair is the real deal, so in this episode they killed cece,dair,derena,chair ,chyvy and any respect to Dan, dude,u little hypocrite seudo writer,this can hurt a lot of people but...who cares ur in love? I'm with chuck in this one die dair dieeeeeee.
Georgia was so freaking clever and evil, what happened to her?, this is a cartoon of G, and Dan knowing he's hurting s and b could loose her family money why is he going there ?Humphrey are u stupid too? YES uU R,
So now Blair is in the easy serena mode, she is with everyone in the show, now let's see where serena goes in this change of shoes between s&b
Stupid plots everywhere, beatriz and that hot father , rigth, stupid motives, why would louis ask dan to write his vows ?and why in he'll dan did it? And he's so smart to hide from Blair wich right now that little crush is so evident , but can't get what serena meant with, not all fake, cmon, he should listen that publisher and go do yoga and to end trips motives , like a jelaouse child stupid and pointless.

I was delighted to read about the Gerdin family being named the Press-Citizen's Person of the Year for 2012. I believe they are a perfect selection!
It's no surprise that the Gerdin family is being honored; they have made a habit of generously helping others, without undue praise or fanfare.
Ann and Russ Gerdin and their entire family have been strong supporters of the University of Iowa for many years. As a coach of the Iowa women's basketball team, I've seen the positive impact of the Gerdins' philanthropy firsthand. ...

|The occurrence of strain symptoms in the lumbosacral region and pelvis during pregnancy and after childbirth.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20605556 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: The etiology and pathology of pain in the lumbosacral region and pelvis of pregnant women during and after pregnancy have not been fully determined. This study evaluated if lower back pain during pregnancy and after childbirth is connected with static alterations in the alignment of the pelvis, dysfunction of sacroiliac joints, and irritation of the pelvic ligaments and spine in the lumbosacral region.
METHODS: This study was carried out on a group of 30 women in their eighth month of pregnancy and through 3 months after childbirth. Techniques of manual examination were used to determine the strain. Static alteration of the pelvis was evaluated in both the sitting and standing positions on the basis of alignment of the posterior superior iliac spines. Irritation of the iliolumbar ligaments, sacrotuberous, sacroiliac, and interspinous ligaments was evaluated by means of pressure palpation. Disorders of sacroiliac joint function were evaluated with the Patrick FABERE test, the standing Gillet test, and the standing and sitting flexion tests.
RESULTS: The most frequently irritated ligaments in the lumbar region are interspinous (60%), iliolumbar (40%), and sacroiliac (36%).
CONCLUSIONS: In women, in their eighth month of pregnancy and after childbirth, disorders of static alterations in pelvis alignment and sacroiliac joint dysfunction may occur. The state of pregnancy may result in strain symptoms in the lumbosacral region and pelvis with variable pain intensifying in various static positions.

& Friends
The Penn State Nuclear Engineering Society (PSNES), in collaboration with the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering (MNE), is pleased to offer a networking and mentoring program to help students reach their professional goals in the field of nuclear engineering. As of November 2010, a number of PSNES volunteer mentors stand ready to commit their time and energy to assist students who have the passion and drive to take control of their professional and career development.
In this student-driven program, the students drive the interaction: they decide the objectives, select the mentor(s) they would like to contact, and initiate the connection. This could be a one-time contact or the beginning of a long-term mentoring relationship. It is up to the student and depends entirely on his or her needs.
PSNES is dedicated to serving students through the Networking and Mentoring Program in a variety of ways, including mentorship, networking, resume reviews for jobs or internship application reviews, career-coaching by phone or e-mail or on-campus informational sessions. To volunteer your time, please submit a full, current resume with preferred contact information, a short biographical statement and a headshot (if available) to Rachel Baker by e-mail at email@example.com. The resume will then be uploaded to the Angel site where students can view it.
Because the Nuclear Engineering Mentoring Program is student-driven, students will not be matched with a mentor. Students have the ability to view the resumes of all volunteer mentors to find one who meets their needs. To view the alumni mentors, students may log into Angel and select the PSNES Group, located in the Committee/Task Force section of 'My Groups' (see image at left).
If you are a student in the undergraduate Nuclear Engineering program, you have already been added to this group. If you are a graduate student who would like to contact a mentor or if you do not see the PSNES Group on your Angel homepage, please contact Rachel Baker by telephone at 814-865-0058 or by e-mail at email@example.com to be added to the group.
Student Guidelines and Mentor Guidlines are available here and on Angel to help you establish a successful student-mentor relationship. These guidelines have been established based on best practices of successful student mentoring programs at Penn State University. A short article on Developing a Strong Professional Network is also available.

V-Moda M-80 Headphones Sweepstakes
According to the company:
Masterfully tuned by a legion of legendary musicians, producers and DJs, M-80 packs unique materials, professional acoustics, natural noise isolation, ultimate ergonomics and military-level ruggedness into a design 53% smaller than its now legendary, over-ear sibling, Crossfade LP. M-80's first-class materials are virtually indestructible including a steel frame, STEELFLEX headband, interchangeable brushed metal shields, durable microfiber suede and replaceable memory foam cushions. The M-80 also comes fully loaded with two Kevlar-reinforced microphone cables for universal smartphone compatibility and an exoskeleton carrying case for added road warrior armor.
The nucleus of M-80 is its patent-pending and biggest-in-class 40mm Dual-Diaphragm Drivers that deliver multi-driver sound with the energy efficiency and consistent quality of a single driver. To recreate a pure balanced sound analogous to Vinyl, M-80 uses no batteries or artificial sound processing and instead relies on immortal acoustic techniques. The masterfully crafted V-PORT V3 provides natural noise isolation, life-like staging, vibrant bass, vivid mids and vivacious highs.
By utilizing a 31-band EQ with select master musicians and producers, every step of the frequency response curve was finely sculpted. The headphone also offers long-play comfort through a tailored, fashionable fit without unsightly gaps and minimal pressure on the head and ears, the result of years of ergonomic research. Since the fit is the sound, M-80 utilizes replaceable supple memory foam cushions, a bespoke STEELFLEX headband and tactile arm extensions.

Simple and sweet. I love staying up late in a quiet house to cast off a project. I'm knitting away at another kerchief, this one for my sister. Then I have plans of challenging myself with knitting my first adult cardigan, for myself, and a pair of socks!
