Olive Harvest 1
Because of the problems the villagers have harvesting their trees since the Wall was built, they are grateful for any help from outsiders. So off we went for a weekend to help a friend with his family's trees. The olive harvest mostly begins in October - it's best to wait until the rains come, but not always possible. This year it was dry, hot and very dusty!
Work starts early while the weather is still cool. After a 5am wake-up call we head down to the checkpoint at the gate in the Wall and wait for the soldiers to open up. After they've checked that the villagers have the necessary papers to enter their own land we're allowed to walk through and start work.
Olive Harvest 8
Once ourselves and the olives are back in the village, and once we've eaten (lots and lots!), the picked olives are taken for pressing to produce the olive oil. Jayous has one press that serves all the surrounding villages, some even coming from near Qalqiliya to press their olives here.
When the Wall was first built, the procedure for getting into the fields was even more uncertain and random. Many of the farmers chose to camp out in their fields for several weeks - if they went home to the village they couldn't be sure of being let back out again. Fortunately this time we at least had the pleasure of a bed, even if it was just for a few hours until we got up to do it all over again!
Olive Harvest 7
Sometimes it's not quite that easy to get home and eat. While the gates were supposed to open at 4pm it was well past 5pm when the soldiers finally turned up to let us back into the village - after it had gone dark and after we had sat and listened to the mosque signalling the end of the day's fasting. After a day's hard work with no food and water that extra hour makes a hell of a lot of difference!
Just to make it worse, several army humvees drove past while we sat and waited, the driver even having the nerve to laugh and wave just to rub it in. Despite the long day, lack of food and now this, there was little anger or activity from the villagers - maybe they're just too used to it by now and know that there's nothing they can do about it. Finally the soldiers arrived and with the usual military procedure and precision opened the gates and shephered us through, guns at the ready.
Olive Harvest 6
Aaaah at last the day's work is finished and we're all way too tired to walk back, especially with several hundred kilos of olives to carry! Fortunately we can hitch a ride to the gate on this tractor. This year's harvest was during Ramadan so we head back just before the sun goes down (the gate is open between 4pm and 5pm) in order to get back to the village to break the day's fasting.
Olive Harvest 5
Even lazing around in the shade under the trees, out of sight of the Wall, it's impossible to forget that these are occupied lands. The majority of vehicles we see during the day are heavily armed military jeeps, driving through the field at top speed and spraying dust all over the trees, and us. While the roads of Jayous are bumpy, slow and dusty, the roads by the Wall are smooth new asphalt... yet the only people who get to use them seem to be soldiers.
At the edge of the fields are 8 foot high coils of barbed wire and red signs signalling that this is a Military Area and that anyone who crosses or tries to damage the fence is in "mortal danger" and "endangers his life"
Olive Harvest 2
Once we've made it into the fields the next step is to lay out the plastic sheeting under each tree, in order to catch the olives as they fall. Then start pickin'! The olives we picked in Jayous are mostly small and black and look a bit like grapes. When they come off the tree they're not quite ready for eating yet and have to be soaked and pickled a while first. Although actually the vast majority of the olives here are pressed and used to make some of the tastiest pure green olive oil I've ever had.
Olive Harvest 4
Once you've given the tree a good final shake, it's time to collect all the olives from the plastic sheeting. You then sit around for a while and sort through them, picking out the leaves and sticks and preparing them for squeezing. After hours climbing trees and swallowing dust it's quite nice to have a sit down!
Olive Harvest 3
Picking olives is exhausting work, especially in the heat and dust, but climbing trees all day is kinda fun too. Made me feel like a little kid all over again! First step in picking is to use a small plastic comb to clear the olives from the lower branches. Then you climb up high and make yourself comfy in the top branches. Then you get to whack the tree with a big stick to shake the stubborn olives off. Then you move onto the next tree and do the same all over again, and again!

Tawtheeq, an Abu Dhabi real estate initiative is on its way to be launched within the next month; though there can
October 23, 2011 5:00 by Eva Fernandes
This weekend I finally got a chance to catch up with a friend who moved back to Dubai. After the formalities were covered, I inquired after her new apartment.
"I am living in a slum," was the response I got.
And though she was, indeed, exaggerating, from what I could make out she was living in a sub-standard apartment. In her haste to find a place to call home, she quickly signed the lease for an apartment in International City and paid the Dh55K rent for an entire year upfront in one installment-as is the requirement of certain landlords in the Emirates. And although, the building seemed alright when she first moved in, she is slowly discovering that it hardly matches up to the landlord's description. Two of the lifts have stopped working, the electricity goes from time to time, there are no lights on in the public areas of the building and the water supply is far from reliable.
Any complaints to the landlord are quickly refuted by a claim that 'the other tenants are not paying up' and of course 'your money is non-refundable.'
In a word, she's 'stuck'.
Such a situation is uncommon among residents in the Emirates, where renting is the preferred option due to a general sense of impermanence. Yet this sense of impermanence, also allows landlords and developers to get away with shoddy real estate maintenance and stringent contracts. Despite rents plummeting post-recession, landlords still hold the upper hand.
Which is why, many in the Abu Dhabi real estate market are looking forward to the launch of a new scheme that will see developers, owners and management companies join together to form a comprehensive real estate body. The scheme will set a standard for tenancy contracts issued by property management companies and private landlords.
Though the scheme, Tawtheeq, had been expected to be launched this month, it has been delayed because over 20 percent of property management companies have failed to sign up to the scheme; although to date, more than 180,000 units have already been registered with Tawtheeq.
That there is a need for a standardised and unified body for the Abu Dhabi real estate market, is undoubtedly a fact. This rather unfortunate story of a family that was duped by a landlord who provided them with a phoney contract and ran away with their AED45000, is an excellent example. But I can't help but be reminded of the dreadfully slow implementation of RERA's Strata Law last year that attempted to unify home owners and developers for similar reasons. Attempts that, we are still hearing of one year on, later. Given the current circumstances, we're sure the folks at Tawtheeq understand that the full extent and speed of the law will be needed to be implemented to protect the homeowners and renters.

Walter and Valerie Scott celebrate their diamond wedding anniversary. Pictured here with daughter Wendy Clarke, right. grand daughter Dr Georgina Anderson and grand children Niamh, 2, and Thomas, 15 months
Caitlin Marsh / / News
A COUPLE from Canford Cliffs have celebrated six decades of marriage after meeting in a college aged just 15 and 20.
Walter, 90, and Valerie Scott, 85, married in a registry office in Leicester, on July 3 1954, after being friends for 10 years, having met at The Leicester Colleges of Technology and Art, aged 15 and 20.
Mr Scott was taking evening classes in mechanical technology, while his then future-wife helped in the offices at the college, when they met in passing, before marrying a decade later.
Daughter, Wendy Clark, said: "Mum wore a beautiful pale blue ballerina-type dress with a matching lace bolero, which I remember we used to play with as kids."
Her dad, Walter, said: "We had a lovely day, including Jet the dog, who even had a ribbon around his neck.
"After the wedding reception, we left in a Humber Super Snipe, which took us to a hotel in London and we then went on to a hotel in Bournemouth for the honeymoon."
Together, Valerie and Walter have three children, who also include sons Andrew and Zealony, along with seven grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
When asked what the secret to a long and happy marriage is, Walter said: "I was asked that question only the other day and said that it was all down to a loving wife.
His wife, Valerie added: "I never thought that we would still be here 60 years later.
"My advice would be that you have to let each-other have some space and some time to yourselves sometimes."
After a little more time to think, Walter added: "We share everything together and we work well together.
"So I would say that you can only be in love if you are going to get married.
"You cannot do it for any other reason such as finance or convenience, only for love."
The couple will enjoy a party on Saturday at Compton Acres, where they will be joined by all their family and friends to celebrate the special landmark diamond wedding anniversary.

Whether you are a college-bound high school student or already attending a college or university, Army ROTC has scholarships available. Scholarships are awarded based on your academic, athletic, and leadership merit, not financial need. All scholarships pay for tuition and mandatory fees. Scholarships also provide an allowance for books as well as a monthly personal living allowance. You can also choose to have your scholarship applied to room and board.
Army ROTC scholarships are divided into two categories: National Scholarships (for high school seniors) and Campus-Based Scholarships (for college students).
Criteria to qualify for any ROTC Scholarship:
4-Year National Army ROTC Scholarships
National scholarships are designed for high school seniors. The application window is during the first half of a student's senior year and lies in conjunction with applying to college. The National Army ROTC scholarship program is run by Army Cadet Command. The annual deadline to apply for a four-year national scholarship is in January.
STEP 1: Apply online
Go to the High School National Army ROTC Scholarship Application page; click the link at the bottom of the page to build a profile and start the application.
STEP 2: Submit the required documents including:
• A copy of your high school transcript
• A copy of your SAT or ACT score
• A copy of the Scholarship Physical Fitness Test. This can be administered by any sports coach or PE teacher. Click here for the Scholarship Physical Fitness Test form.
You can scan and e-mail these documents into firstname.lastname@example.com or fax to 502-624-1120
STEP 3: Conduct the scholarship interview: Schedule an appointment to conduct an interview; call 509-359-6110 to schedule your interview at EWU Army ROTC
2, 3, and 4-Year Campus Based ROTC Scholarships
Campus-based scholarships are designed for high school students who missed the National application window AND for both undergraduate and graduate level college students. Most campus-based applicants are already enrolled in ROTC, but this is not a requirement. The criteria is still the same, but the application process is different than the national process. If interested in applying for a scholarship, contact the EWU ROTC Enrollment Officer at 509.359.6110 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I have an Apple TV 3 in my living room. I updated to latest 5.1.1 release. In order to get that update to go through successfully, I had to disconnect from ethernet network and use WiFi. Occassionally, I will run into where I can not stream HD movies that are non iTunes Store files on my iMac. These are Blu Ray rips to MKV, and converted to ATV3 mp4/m4v formats. They play just fine on iTunes via my iMac. I have tried restarting ATV3, iMac, unplugging ATV3 Power/wait, replug.
I have only found 2 solutions that work:
1) RESET the ATV3 and set back up from scratch
2) Unplug Ethernet and use my Airport Extreme WiFi.
What is even more odd is if I try to stream an HD movie that I have downloaded to my iMac from the iTunes store, it plays just fine over ethernet. So I have to think the connectivity via Ethernet is fine. Its very odd considering my ethernet network is completely gigabit. Although my WiFi has full signal and no drops, I prefer to have anything that is stationary like my iMac, Xbox360, PS3, Apple TVs, etc... connected via ethernet. That way my iPhone and iPad do not have any bandwidth competition while I am streaming. Also when I output music throughout the house via iTunes Airplay to my Apple TVs from my iMac they tend to be in better time/sync with one another when all on ethernet network.
My Ethernet network is setup like this:
Office: Cable Modem -> Airport Extreme -> Netgear gigabit Powerline -> electrical outlet in office
Living Room: electrical outlet -> Netgear gigabit Powerline -> Netgear 8 port gigabit switch -> devices (PS3, Xbox360, ATV3, DirectTV, Piorneer Receiver
Bedroom: electrical outlet -> Netgear gigabit Powerline -> Netgear 4 port 10/100 hub -> devices (xbox360 and ATV3)
I have connected my work Windows laptop top the living room ethernet gigabit Netgear switch and did several speed tests. I am getting close to 30mps DL and 5mps UL. I know that is internet speed. But that should give a good indication that local network speed is more than sufficient if that is the sort of internet speed I am getting.
I also ran the network tests on my Xbox360, PS3, and ATV3. All 3 passed. I figured if there was something terribly wrong, one of them would cry wolf.
I scheduled an appointment with Apple tomorrow morning. I think this is a hardware/driver issue with the ethernet or OS/software. They want this to be a per incident support call or to purchase Apple Care. I have Apple Care on everything BUT my Apple TVs. So surely my iMac, iPhone 5, iPhone 4, and iPad 4 agreements will grant me some latitude to allow Apple to take a look into this issue. I only decided to unplug the ethernet and use WiFi as the result of several Google searches for the issue.
Anyone else able to profess this issue? Share anything to help trend the issue?

I have an external SSL web service that I need to access from within C#. The developer of the web services has provided PHP and Java samples but no C#.
I have the PHP sample working and retrieving data but I would ideally like a native .NET solution. WSDL files and some expected XML input and output are available.
The first step is getting a connection. I can retrieve the WDSL in .NET but am having trouble with certificates and establishing the connection. I needs some help there.
The next step is translating the WSDL and internal XML requirements into a simple series of calls I can make within my code. There are perhaps 60 different calls I needs to make. I imagine a few days work required.
This is an immediate job and needs to be completed inside the next week - although can be delivered in stages.

Targeting .NET Framework 2.0 on Windows 8
The following error might appear if you try to target the .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, or 3.5 in an F# project when Visual Studio is installed on Windows 8: This project requires the 2.0 F# runtime, but that runtime is not installed. This error is known to occur under the following combination of conditions:
You installed Visual Studio on Windows 8.
You didn't enable the .NET Framework 3.5 before you installed Visual Studio.
Your project targets the .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, or 3.5.
When you install Visual Studio, it detects the installed versions of the .NET Framework and installs the F# 2.0 Runtime only if the .NET Framework 3.5 is installed and enabled.
To resolve this error, you can either target a newer version of the .NET Framework, or you can enable the .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8 and then install the F# 2.0 runtime by running the setup program for Visual Studio with the Repair option.
To enable the .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8
On the Start screen, start to enter Control Panel.
As you enter that name, the Control Panel icon appears under the Apps heading.
Choose the Control Panel icon, choose the Programs icon, and then choose the Turn Windows features on or off link.
Make sure that the .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) check box is selected, and then choose the OK button.
You don't need to select the check boxes for any child nodes for optional components of the .NET Framework.
The .NET Framework 3.5 is enabled if it wasn't already.
To install the F# 2.0 runtime
In the Control Panel, choose the Programs link, and then choose the Programs and Features link.
In the list of installed programs, choose the edition of Visual Studio that you installed, and then choose the Change button.
After setup starts, choose the Repair button.
For more information, see Installing Visual Studio.

I'm on baby number three, and I'm wondering if I should expect her to be born at about the same time as my first two, and if labor is similar?
I know each baby comes when he/she is ready, but it would be kind of nice to have an idea or likelihood that this baby will come two weeks early, just like both of her big brothers. My boss has asked me a couple of times when I'm due - and I told her April 19, but both of my boys were born two weeks early, so I kind of expect that she'll be a little early as well.
Also, my water broke both times before I started having contractions. Is it likely that this will happen again? Do I need to keep a pair of depends in my purse? lol.

With two weeks left in the season we're switching the Heisman Ballot format up. Instead of a Top 3, a list of contenders, and a long shot we've narrowed the list down to five guys that can actually win the trophy. Here's how they rank heading into Week 12. We'll surely see some reshuffling amongst them, but barring a Bobby Boucher, Bayou Bowl-level performance from someone else these are your five Heisman finalists (sorry Ohio State fans, but Braxton Miller is succeeding in a Big Ten bubble where the 2012 season went to die...maybe next year). 1. COLLIN KLEIN, QB, KANSAS STATE: Klein had his worst statistical game of the season against TCU, throwing for only 145 yards and an INT and rushing for only 50. His two rushing TDs were still the difference in a 23-10 win, and his three month body of work should be enough to keep him in the top spot as long as the Wildcats remain undefeated and at the top of the BCS rankings. 2.

Gardeners' Notes:
On Jul 2, 2008, stevelvv from San Diego, CA (Zone 10a) wrote:
This is the second season and the plant is thriving beautifully. Now it is in full bloom and the flowers have a golden yellow appearance in small clusters. A very unique, pungent smell that attracts flies. Not noticeable unless you get a very close whiff. Excellent on a retaining wall in a dry landscape environment. Can be a focal point in a rock garden. I highly recommend this plant.
On May 13, 2004, nanette0269 from Bradenton, FL (Zone 9b) wrote:
This plant is thriving in zone 9B. The mound is about 2' tall and home to several lizards now! I cut it back last week by 1/3, so now its only about 5' long. Its foliage is very dense on top and slowly spreads and takes over other plants, but can easily be pulled out without the need of heavy duty scissors.
On Jul 25, 2003, Chel wrote:
I live in zone 6/7 (Missouri). I have this plant in a hanging basket since it is not hardy in my zone. I love the way it looks and feels to touch. However, I think a bird tried building a nest in the middle of my plant with PINE NEEDLES - at first I couldn't figure out why the leaves were turning brown because I was watering it (not overwatering) and it just wasn't doing well at all. Therefore, my conclusion would be that it does NOT do well in ACIDIC soil. I am going to re-pot with fresh soil and see if it will do any better. I was planning on wintering the plant indoors, so I hope it doesn't die.
On Mar 14, 2003, poppysue from Westbrook, ME (Zone 5a) wrote:
Helychrysium is a trailing plant that will fill in quickly and spread to make a thick mound. It's silver foliage is especially nice in a container planting where it will spill over the edges and mingle with other flowering plants. It prefers full sun and is tolerant of dry conditions. However, it will perform better with extra water when it's extremely dry.

Respond to Review of The Bodhi Tree
by katinjap
Review: This is an extremely popular restaurant so you HAVE to book in advance! Yummy interesting veg options, although many meat dishes too (good compromise when eating with non vegs). Dishes are very small though, so think about ordering two per person. This means its a little more expensive than you may originally think. But worth it.

Every evening ( except some Tuesdays through the summer ), Echo Hollow comes alive with a live stage version of the popular television show, Great American Country Nights. This show is hosted by Jae McFerron and Jessica Jordon, and features a cast of twelve great singers and dancers. The show includes a very talented band called the Time Machine. The curtain opens at the time that the park closes, which varies at different times of the season, so check our Silver Dollar City schedule of hours for exact times on specific dates. The show is at Echo Hollow, which is an outdoor amphitheater that holds 4,000 people. Because Echo Hollow is outdoors, all shows are weather permitting.
One of our personal favorite shows at Silver Dollar City is Cedric Benoit and the Cajun Connection Band. Cedric and his band performs classic Cajun zydeco hits as well as original music. Cajun zydeco music is a uniquely American blend of accordion, fiddle, washboard or rub board, and other varied instruments, set to a fast tempo rhythm that will have you dancing in your seat. Cedric Benoit's show is high energy and includes traditional Cajun dancers. Cedric has been inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. As they say in southwest Louisiana. " les bon temps rouler". or in English," let the good times roll"!
The Silver Dollar City Saloon has been well known for beautiful girls, can can dancers, singing bartenders and comedy since its opening in 1973. Past shows have included Carrie Nation and her temperance union, "Mean Murphy", the saloons arch enemy. and "Miss Tilly" a loveable dance hall girl. This years show, Choctaw Charlies Frontier Follies, is a hilarious, WIld West Comedy show following in these traditions.

BA in Environmental Studies
Visit the
Department Web site
The BA in Environmental Studies brings together the humanities, social and natural sciences to understand the inter-relationships between, for example, pollution, population, poverty and politics. Overall, the goal of the program is to have students recognize the role humans play in the dynamic between nature and culture, and to develop essential, and employable, skills in research techniques and problem solving. But, most importantly, the Environmental Studies curriculum gives you an understanding of the role values play in the different ways people frame questions, and how values affect how people act to solve environmental problems. Our interdisciplinary faculty gives Pace Environmental Studies students the rigorous professional skills to enter the world as effective and responsible actors.
BA in Environmental Studies
To change our relationships with the natural world, we need to understand both natural processes—like ecology and biology—and the human systems that relate to nature: the political, economic, artistic and spiritual. The Pace ES major prepares you to meet the world with this integrative, interdisciplinary understanding of environmental issues and problems. We prepare students for work in new and existing public and private sectors organizations, as well as to pursue graduate studies in a number of related fields. Your Pace studies will culminate in an intensive project that combines the skills you have learned and give you the opportunity to work closely with Environmental Studies faculty on an original and transformative research project.
Our alumni have gone on to graduate departments and/or to become change-makers in a variety of environmental fields such as: advocacy, education, journalism, law, resource management, policy, remediation, sustainable development, and urban planning
Combined degree programs enable qualified students to earn both undergraduate and master's degrees in less time than it takes to earn each degree separately.
BA in Environmental Studies/JD in Law
The environmental studies major can be combined with a law degree from Pace University's School of Law. To learn more about this innovative program, see the dual-degree programs page.
We lead the way in offering Learning Communities taught by two faculty from different disciplines, discussing the same topics or issues from different disciplinary perspectives. Our courses are offered on every level, from basic 100-level courses that students can use to satisfy any of the Areas of Knowledge to our 400-level capstone courses for seniors.
The internship experience is a fundamental part of the environmental studies major. All students are required, in their third year, to enroll in the "Environmental Internship Course," ENV 380. Often, the first work experience of most environmental professionals is an internship or volunteer position. Students will gain first-hand experience of the process of reconciling individual and community needs and environmental protection through internships in regional/ municipal environmental planning agencies and national and local non-profit agencies. These internships will also provide students with employment opportunities in the rapidly growing field of environmentalism.
Currently interns are placed at:
- Long Island Task Force
- Westchester Environmental Coalition
- Environmental Center - Pace University
- Citizens Environmental Coalition
- Read Wildlife Sanctuary
- Tailside Museum - Bear Mountain State Park
- City of New York Parks Department
- Greenpeace
- Sierra Club
- Environmental Protection Agency
- U.S. Forest Service
- National Park Service
- Westchester County Executive Office
- The Hudson River Sloop Clearwater
- The Audubon Society
Our graduates have gone on to careers in environmental law, environmental journalism, environmental education, and have worked as lobbyists on the state and federal level.
Jobs in the corporate sector include:
- Policy Making
- Public Relations

The concept of leadership so prized by Americans is difficult for the Russians to grasp, even when the word is translated correctly. It is more a cultural than a linguistic problem and needs clarifying.
Translators and students of foreign languages are familiar with the problem of what the French call faux amis (translators' false friends) – words that have the same origin and often look and sound the same but mean different things in different languages. Examples include the English word anecdote and the Russian "anekdot" (a joke) or velvet – in Russian "velvet" stands for corduroy.]
Things get a little trickier and sometimes downright difficult when some meanings coincide and others diverge. A direc-tor, for example, is "direktor" in Russian when he is a member of a company's board of directors but not when he is a film director (that will be a "rezhisser"); a Russian "director shkoly" is a school principal in America or a headmaster in Britain. A Russian "student" goes to college; in America, he might just as well be a 10-year-old schoolboy.
Experienced translators and interpreters are well aware of such words and, even though they are quite numerous (try Russian faux amis for accurate, carton, decade, novel, or revision) we very rarely confuse them. Language learners may be reasonably sure that as their proficiency improves they will get the right word almost automatically.
There is, however, a less well known but insidious problem: something I call false equivalents. Take the word leadership, which is often translated into Russian as "rukovodstvo". In nine cases out of 10, it is a mistranslation, for this Russian word means guidance, management, or even control.
So when a phrase frequently used by American politi-cians – US global leadership – is translated, sometimes deliberately and maliciously, as "amerikanskoye rukovodst-vo mirom" – something very close to American control of the world – it conjures up all kinds of nasty associations in the minds of most Russian readers.
The right Russian word is of course "liderstvo". We borrowed the word leader from English decades ago and equipped it with Russian suffixes to create derivatives – a verb, an adjective, and a noun. So Russian translators are in this particular case luckier than, say, the French, who simply have no equivalent for the English word; English-French dictionaries therefore recom-mend roundabout ways of conveying this concept.
So far so good? Well, there is still a problem here, and it's cultural rather than linguistic. The American concept of leadership is difficult for many of us to grasp even when the word is translated correctly. I have seen Russians perplexed when they were told a college somewhere in Virginia has a programme in leadership studies and even students majoring in leadership. They thought it was something too vague to be an academic subject. "What is there to study, or to learn? You either have it or you don't," they said.
When Americans speak of someone's "leadership role" the meaning is best conveyed in Russian by the word "initsiativnost". Sounds familiar? It's because we both borrowed the word "initiative" from French.
As for "lider", it was for many years confined to its sports meaning. Another word, "vozhd", previously thought to be obsolete but dusted off by Stalinist propaganda, was used to describe Lenin's successor. This word has now fallen into disuse. Recently, some political commentators have taken to describing Prime Minister Vladimir Putin as "natsionalny lider" – the nation's leader. Whether he thinks it's a good idea is not known but I somehow doubt it.
Going back to "US leadership", you are still likely to be misunderstood if you mention it to Russians – but perhaps less so if you tell them that President Barack Obama has recently called for leadership through partnership and co-operation. He even said that leadership includes a willingness to listen to others. We might, after all, be able to work out a common concept of leadership.

Burt Luthers
Sophia Sleigh, Chief reporter / / News
Councillors have remembered a 'passionate and modest' Labour councillor who died yesterday.
Burt Luthers, 77, from Thrale Road, Streatham, served in Tooting ward as a Labour councillor for 17 years after coming to the country from Guyana, in South America, aged 19.
Labour councillor Tony Belton paid tribute to him and said he was from an underprivileged background and Labour 'by instinct'.
He said: "He was a stalwart member of the Labour Party that I worked with for 12 years.
"He continued to be very active after ceasing to be councillor. At one time there was barely an edition of the Wandsworth Borough News that didn't have his weekly letter.
"He was very keen on transport and passenger transport for the disabled. He was very loyal and a straight up and down person.
"Our deepest sympathies from the Wandsworth Labour Party go out to Doreen [his wife] and the family."
Furzedown councillor Leonie Cooper said: "It was very sad – he was a lovely lovely man. He was modest but he was also passionate about the things he felt strongly about."
The leader of the council Ravi Govindia also paid tribute to Mr Luthers, who was a councillor between 1973 and 1990.

He said: "This is very sad news indeed and my thoughts and prayers are with his family.
"I have known Burt since the early 1970s when we first worked together on making life better for the people of Tooting, albeit from different sides of the political fence, but he always struck me as a wise and very fair-minded local politician and activist who dedicated his life to community causes in Tooting.
"In recent years he was an avid writer of letters to the local paper and in this way he continued to influence matters and raise issues of concern long after he stood down as a councillor. I will remember him with great fondness."
Sadiq Khan, the MP for Tooting, said: "Burt was at the first ever Labour Party meeting I attended as a 15-year-old. Back then he was Councillor, and he was always warm, friendly and kind.
"He encouraged me to get more involved and suggested I stand for the council as a 23-year-old, which I did in 1994. Over the last two decades he provided me with wise counsel and has been a good friend too.
"As the first ever BAME councillor elected in Tooting he has left an important political legacy, but as a father, husband and friend he has also left behind a huge personal legacy."
Mr Luthers did not stand in 1990, 94 or 98, but did stand in 2002 in Furzedown narrowly missing out on a seat by 43 votes.

I had a dog, once. For all the world, she resembled a Pomeranian, and she was a dead ringer for the runner-up at Westminster. I bought her for five dollars. Had it not been for a Chow two generations back, she would have been what they consider "pure", and could have easily been sold for several thousand. This one stud was a blip in her standard, a dead fly in a glass of champagne.
Last week, she appeared on my doorstep, quite obviously dead. There was no note, no notice of someone taking responsibility, and certainly no trace of where her head went. It was a bit of a mess, and the cleanup took longer than I had anticipated. I still hadn't, still haven't recovered from my last loss.
And tonight, I'm kneeling inside her doghouse. I haven't been inside it since we first built it. For the first time, I can see just how badly warped the inside was. The urine smell has soaked deep into the wood and I can only imagine how bad the smell would be if it were fresh. I can't help but feel like I let that little girl down, by allowing her home to fall into such disarray. The carpet of her house is brown. The grass is dead. My dog is dead. My father is
The wood gives a little with the force of my punch, leaving the smallest of cracks in the back portion of the house. My knuckles take the worst of it, and the pain shoots up my arm like fire. The middle knuckle has split open, and is dripping blood down my middle finger. I try to hold it in, but I've finally hit my limit. Like a dam finally bursting, the tears come.
"Goddammit," I spit. And suddenly I realize that I'm on my knees, my head hung low, hands clasped together. For all its venom, my curse looks like a prayer, offered in reverence in this low-ceiling sanctuary that smells of dog piss. I can't help but laugh. I'm a child again, snotty and red-eyed, praying for the world to make sense again. Those were the times that my father would come in, and lay one of his hands on my shoulder. His hands were huge, but even as a child I welcomed his touch.
"I miss you so much, Dad."
When it starts to rain, nobody calls me inside.

And I love how sudden--like a slap-- paragraph 2 comes on.
this was so very powerful. Thank you.
Exactly how I felt when I lost my doggies. RIP Ruby n' Suzie.
This is fantastic!
WHAAAAAAAAAAA?! The dog was his dad?!
The regret for the dog, and the mirrors the regret for the dad in this case. And the regret for the nobody finding them.
I was about to say "I'm sorry about what happened to your dog" but then I read on & noticed it wasn't real.
Are you sorry about my fictional dog?
No, at first I thought you were one of those kinds of people, where you share your whole life with people you don't know, but then as I got about in the middle, I noticed it wasn't real.
Absolutely wonderful. You put words to raw doubts, regrets and losses. I love the description of the inside of the doghouse. I can just feel the poignancy of regret so vividly there, like almost hearing the owner say 'Why didn't I do more or take better care of her?' This really hits home with me from losing a good dog. You have a beautiful gift with words, keep it up!
Incredible job. Truly touching.
No words, just feelings of pity.
the feels on the bus go round and round...
This is very well written. The emotions hit hard.
this makes me feel sad...
Beautifully written. My dad's in hospice these days, the long wait.
Excellence! - Congratulations for the DD!
That last line is really the icing on the cake. I like this very much, well done.

This was incredible. It's rare that a piece brings me to the verge of tears in so few paragraphs. Very well written.
This is amazing, it really hit home hard.
Wow...... what a powerful poem. It has a visceral impact, but a subtle one underneath as well.
Wow, I love the way you portray the emotion and connect the two losses. It's so real, I'm sure anyone can relate in some way. Great job and good luck with the tournament. (ps. very fond of the imagery as well!)
Wow, this is beautiful. I faved it. Congrats on your well deserved DD.

Flaws, the interactive work of fiction from author Jon Ingold, is a difficult game to categorize as well as a different game to review. For starters, it isn't really a game in the traditional sense, more like a choose your own adventure produced for modern, Kindle-enabled devices. Then there's the nature of the story, where discussing even a few of the details can spoil whole bits of the experience. Suffice it to say, Flaws is an intriguing interactive fiction "game" about finding treasure and fame, the Andromeda galaxy, a mysterious diadem, and a possible assassination.

At long, long last, Jordan Mechner's (creator of the original Prince of Persia game) adventure gaming masterpiece The Last Express is available as a digital download! The game was first released in 1997 where, despite being an amazing interactive experience, it failed to gain much commercial traction. Its cult status survived the turn of the century largely due to the unique nature of the gameplay, the incredible writing, and a visual style that's more like an animated television show than a video game. No more tracking down rate copies of the original CD-ROM. Just download, install, and enjoy!
