by Paul Celan
Stanza 1 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 1-3
Black milk of daybreak we drink it at evening
we drink it at midday and morning we drink it at night
we drink and we drink
- The speakers, a group of Jewish prisoners in a concentration camp, describe how they drink black milk all day and all night.
- Picture people forced to drink glasses of thick, sticky crude oil and how disgusting that would be.
- The Jews have no choice in the matter, they are forced to keep taking in this toxic substance.
- The image of "black milk" is not supposed to be literal. It is a symbol for life in the camps, which is both physically and spiritually unhealthy. Creamy white milk would be the ultimate symbol for health and nourishment, but "black milk" inverts (or turns inside out) the symbol to mean the opposite.
- In the Hebrew scriptures (which includes what Christians call the Old Testament), the "land of milk and honey" was a way of describing a kind of paradise or promised land. "Black milk" ironically makes us think of this reference. Instead of a paradise, the prisoners drink bitter milk in an earthly hell.
- Think also of all the connotations that milk has with nurturing and parenthood. The Jews in the camp are not being nurtured at all. They have been orphaned by their European "fatherlands," like Germany.
Line 4
we shovel a grave in the air there you won't lie too cramped
- The Jews carry out forced labor. They dig graves where those who are killed by the Nazis will be unceremoniously dumped.
- There are many harrowing stories and images about the use of mass graves during the Holocaust. They are one of the iconic images of the period.
- The grave is not in the ground as you would expect; it is "in the air." It is an imaginary or figurative grave.
- The last part of the line – "there you won't lie too cramped" – is ironic. It's as if someone were trying to convince them that dying will actually be good for them. Or maybe it is the Jews themselves who are looking forward to death as a way of escaping the cramped and horrible conditions of the camps.
- Celan is probably alluding to the fact that many Jews were cremated during the Holocaust, particularly those killed in the infamous gas chambers.
- The Nazis didn't even want to take the time to give their victims a proper burial. It was more convenient to just burn the bodies in huge crematoriums. In this sense, the victims had their graves "in the air."
Lines 5-7
A man lives in the house he plays with his vipers he writes
he writes when it grows dark to Deutschland your golden hair Marguerite
he writes it and steps out of doors and the stars are all sparkling
- The poem introduces a new character, who is generically referred to as a "man."
- But it is clear that this man is really a camp guard, and therefore a member of the Nazi S.S., which ran the concentration camps.
- Unlike the prisoners, who are stuffed in the barracks, he lives in a house like any person would under normal circumstances.
- He has a dark and sinister side – he plays with "vipers" or snakes. Think of all those negative connotations about snakes, like sin, betrayal, and the loss of innocence.
- The guard fancies himself a writer and a man of culture. By day he is a sadistic guard, but "when it grows dark" he becomes this wannabe Romantic poet.
- He's a nature lover and takes the time to appreciate things like the twinkling of the stars. This is all very lovely, but when you remember that these stars are shining over a death camp, you can't help but realize how twisted and messed up the guard has become. A humane person would probably not be able to appreciate stars while knowing that people were dying gruesome deaths just on the other side of a fence.
- He obsesses over and idealizes the blond or "golden" hair of Marguerite, a literary character from the great epic poem Faust by Wolfgang von Goethe.
- Faust might just be the most famous and celebrated poem written in German, and so it represents the heights that the culture achieved about a hundred years before Germany started murdering millions of people under Hitler.
- In Goethe's poem, a scholar named Faust essentially sells his soul to Satan in return for power and knowledge. Along the way he seduces a poor sweet German girl named Marguerite.
- Remember the Halloween episode of The Simpsons where Homer sells his soul to Ned Flanders/Satan for a doughnut? That is taken right out of the Faust legend. (Those Simpsons writers know their world literature!)
- Marguerite's blond hair is a symbol of the Nazi racial ideal – also known as the "Aryan race."
Lines 8-10
he whistles his hounds to come close
he whistles his Jews into rows has them shovel a grave in the ground
he orders us strike up and play for the dance
- Now that we know how "cultured" and Romantic the guard is, we learn how cruel and barbaric he is, too.
- When he's not writing about Marguerite, he abuses Jews. He threatens them with his dogs. He forces them into line up into rows, as if they were only tools or instruments. He makes them dig graves and orders them to play music.
- The music is the "Deathfugue" of the title. In real camps like Auschwitz, Jews were sometimes forced to play music, perhaps a way of calming the other prisoners, or perhaps just to be cruel.
- Notice that now Celan has switched from the imaginary image of graves "in the air" to a literal image of "a grave in the ground."
- Obviously, the guard's education has not prevented him from turning into an absolutely rotten human being. If you think of him as a representative of Nazism or maybe even German culture as a whole, you see where Celan is going with this…

EDITED TO ADD: OOPS I AM SO UNPLUGGED I'VE FORGOTTEN MY SCHEDULE. IT'S RHOOC I won't be recapping tonight. Hang on and I'll put up a post for that show. THEN back to unplugged.
Hey guys, I am going to remain mostly unplugged again tonight and will not be recapping the
RHONY RHOOC live at 9. I may or may not feel like doing it at 11:30 in time for the morning crew tomorrow. Until then… you guys have a place to comment here. Meanwhile, let's look back at last week's episode through the bleary eyes of Ramona. Bethenny is a very strong woman. The things she has been going through have been very hard on her emotionally. At times Bethenny cries at a drop of the hat due to all the stress she's under. I know the feeling as finalizing my divorce has been taking a toll on me emotionally. This is the reason I haven't written a blog in a while. I appreciate everyone's continued support and understanding. It means so much to me. I actually hadn't noticed your absence. Continue reading

A Must Read - Share
Last season I fell in love with an adorable floral-print long cardigan. Not only is it 100% functional, it's 100% fabulous, too. It hits about mid-thigh and is the perfect length for so many reasons. It's cute with boots or flats for a cozy and comfy look, but has a chic and bohemian feel when worn with a more structured outfit. I love the pockets and fold-over neckline that doesn't need any buttons. And because it has proven major wearability over the seasons, I'm about to stock up on a few more long cardigans in new prints for winter and into the new year. I've

The vitamin B12 level is a blood test that measures how much vitamin B12 is in your blood.
Cobalamin test
A blood sample is needed.
You should not eat or drink for about 6 to 8 hours before the test.
Certain medicines may affect the results of this test. Your doctor will tell you if you need to stop taking any medicines. Do not stop any medicine before talking to your doctor.
Medicines that can affect the test result include:
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
This test is most often done when other blood test tests suggest a condition called megaloblastic anemia. Pernicious anemia is a form of megaloblastic anemia caused by poor vitamin B12 absorption. This can occur when the stomach makes less of the substance the body needs to properly absorb vitamin B12.
Your doctor may also order a vitamin B12 test if you have certain nervous system symptoms. A low level of B12 can cause numbness or tingling in the arms and legs, weakness, and loss of balance.
Other conditions for which the test may be done:
Normal values are 200 - 900 picograms per milliliter (pg/mL).
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or may test different samples. Talk to your doctor about what your specific test results mean.
Values of less than 200 pg/mL are a sign of a vitamin B12 deficiency. People with this deficiency are likely to have or develop symptoms. Older adults with vitamin B12 levels between 200 and 500 pg/mL may also have symptoms.
Causes of vitamin B12 deficiency include:
A Schilling test can find the cause of a vitamin B12 deficiency.
An increased vitamin B12 level is uncommon. Usually, excess vitamin B12 is removed in the urine.
Conditions that can increase B12 level include:
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:

This review is from: CG24EKSL 23.9cc Gas Straight Shaft String Trimmer
Pros: Very nice weed eater!!! This weed eater is the best weed eater I have ever owned. It has a nice long shaft, a big cutting head, light weight and I cut my two acres with one tank of gas.
The weed eater came assembled all I had to do was add the grass shield and handle. All the tools are supplied.
Cuts thick grass really well!!! I even turned it side ways and used it to edge my side walk.
Cons: 0
Other Thoughts: When I was looking around for a weed eater I was looking for a Stihl or a Husqvarna. I could not afford a Stihl so I was reading the reviews on the Husqvarna and they were mixed. I accidentally found Hitachi and read the reviews and decide to give it a shot. I am glad I did.READ FULL REVIEW

Olympic Sound Studios, Barnes, London
Producer: George Martin
Engineer: Glyn Johns
Mono mixes of Get Back had been made at Abbey Road on 26 March 1969, in preparation for its release as a single. However, when an acetate disc was played on BBC radio on 6 April, ahead of its release, Paul McCartney decided it needed more work.
Olympic Sound Studios was quickly booked for further remixing on this Easter Monday. McCartney was the only member of The Beatles present.
They'd already done a mono mix of Get Back and had acetates cut and didn't like it. We tried it again but it wasn't really happening any better and when we went to compare the two we hit a problem because Paul didn't have a tape of that first mix with him, just an acetate. He and Glyn were very concerned with what the new mix was going to sound like on a cheap record player. Purely by chance, I happened to have a cheap record player in the back of my car, which I'd brought along to Olympic to have someone repair. We had an acetate cut from the new mix and then, using my record player, we were able to decide which of the two mixes was better. So the very first playing of the Get Back single, which sold millions, was on my little player!
The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, Mark Lewisohn
The day began with a fifth mono mix of Get Back, which was used for the single, followed by a first mono mix of Don't Let Me Down. Stereo mixes of both songs - one apiece - were then made, for release in North America.

The layout, located 40 miles west of Seoul in the country's largest economic development zone, was opened for play in 2010 and has since staged the over-50s U.S. Champions Tour's Songdo Championship, in 2010 and 2011.
It was also the venue for the KLPGA Tour's Korea Women's Open in 2012.
"Like Muirfield Village, Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea is Jack's vision and an impressive venue in its own right," PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said in a statement on Wednesday ahead of this week's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
"We are thrilled to take the Presidents Cup there, which is not only a milestone in the event's history, but also a significant step in further elevating the game of golf in Korea."
Finchem was referring to the Jack Nicklaus-designed Muirfield Village Country Club in Dublin, Ohio, which will host this year's Presidents Cup from Oct. 3-6.
"As we looked at different golf courses, different venues in Korea, we kept coming back to Songdo as a place that had the capability to host the Cup," Finchem told reporters.
"And also because we had the competitive experience of the Champions Tour, we knew that it was going to be an outstanding venue to stage the matches of the Presidents Cup, as well.
The Ryder Cup-style competition, which pits a 12-man team from the United States against a line-up of international players from outside Europe, has been played away from U.S. soil on four occasions.
Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia hosted the 1998 and 2011 editions, Fancourt Hotel and Country Club Estate in South Africa staged the 2003 Cup and Royal Montreal Golf Club in Canada played host in 2007.
The U.S. have established a virtual stranglehold on the Presidents Cup, winning the trophy at Royal Melbourne in 2011 for the seventh time in nine editions.
The only success for the Internationals came in 1998 when the event was first staged in Melbourne. In 2003, the teams battled to a 17-17 draw in South Africa.
The 2015 event will be held from Oct. 8-11.

Equine Art
Pastel Painting of HM Molly Mac showing in the
2001 Texas Cutting Futurity
Over the last several years I have been renewing my interest in Drawing and Painting that started in my high school and college years. On this page I will be showing Equine Art work derived from my equine photography. I have most recently been working with drawing media, including graphite, charcoal, and pastel.
Charcoal Drawing of Bill Freeman riding
Boonalittle in the 2004 NCHA Summer Spectacular.
Charcoal is one of my favorite media to work with. The quality of line, abilty to quickly model a form and develop a drawing make this media a pleasure to work with.
Past Painting of horse eye
Pastel has characteristics of both painting and drawing media. I really enjoy the quality of pastel and how well it works with my equine subjects.
Pencil Drawing of Fantastic Cat
Pencil is one of the most portable of media. I drew this image of Fantastic Cat from a photograph taken during the 2008 Texas Cutting Futurity.

Slicing and dicing - Cheryl Douglas is re-discovering her kitchen skills
"So far the best is to just cut it down the middle and just get it flat," said Cheryl Douglas Amputee.
The connoisseur of French cuisine lost both arms and both legs to an infection. She was in the hospital for three months. Rehab for eight.
"I just always wanted to be independent and that's the hardest part," said Cheryl Douglas.
She's re-gaining that independence with her bionic hand. On the I-limb, each finger moves individually, allowing her to grip objects.
"They can replicate almost every movement that the arm we were born with can do, and that's extraordinary," said Alexander Dromerick, M.D., National Rehab Hospital.
Electrodes attached to the end of Cheryl's limb pick up signals from her muscles. A computer inside the hand picks up the signals - and directs each finger to move.
In a University of Pennsylvania lab, researchers are taking prosthetics one step farther - developing one that moves with the power of the mind.
"It could be for anyone with any disability," said Douglas Smith, M.D., Director of the Center for Brain and Repair at the University of Pennsylvania; Professor of Neurosurgery.
Doctor Douglas Smith and his team grew a mini-nervous system. Their plan: Attach electrodes to the mini nervous system - transplant it into the spinal cord - and it will work like an extension cord, connecting the patient's thoughts to movements. For someone like Cheryl - new technology means a new outlook on life.
"You have two options, you can go home lie in bed and feel sorry for yourself. The other option is to just get up and do things."
Doing - and living without limits.

KOLKATA: Has the urban middle class begun dabbling in art? Based on market feedback, buying by this segment has jumped by 100-200% in the last 1-2 years. While these acquisitions are mainly concentrated in Mumbai and Delhi, signs of such purchases are also showing up in a relatively smaller market like Kolkata.
"We have seen in the art boom that the big ticket paintings are being picked up by the super rich in India and the Indian diaspora abroad. Of late, overseas Asians and a section of the foreign mainstream audiences is also buying into high-end Indian art. Others with sparable funds are also acquiring art. But, what has silently picked up momentum in recent times is increased purchases by the middle class," an art market source told ET.

CHARLESTON -- A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 20 for a man charged in the murder of a woman and her 3-year-old son.
Andre Clark, 41, of Charleston who is charged with two counts of first degree murder, three counts of armed criminal action and one count of first degree assault, waived his right to a formal arraignment Wednesday. Associate Judge T. Lynn Brown, accepted the waiver in Division II of Mississippi County Circuit Court and set the preliminary hearing date.
Clark was charged on Oct. 20 following a four-month investigation in the June 16 double homicide of Lazan T. Balentine, 32, and Kyri Balentine, 3, mother and son, of Charleston. He was arrested in Chicago by the Illinois State Police on June 20, following the investigation by the DDCC Troop E Criminal Unit.
The Balentines were beaten to death with what appeared to be a blunt object at their home at 802 South Grand Ave., along with Balentine's other son, Kyri Balentine, 4. Kyri received very serious injuries and was taken to a St. Louis hospital for treatment.

The VOP Mapper identifies water trails in Virginia. The mapper is a planning tool and should not be used to create paddling guides.
Detailed paddling and water trail maps are most often prepared by local and regional partners working to enhance outdoor recreation for tourism. Water trail and blueway guides address watercraft types, water conditions and potential user conflicts. Such a field guide or water trail map provides maps showing river segments, conditions including hazards, rapids, portages and points of interest.

What's Hot: The Bowery Hotel, New York
Opulent and très cool, The Bowery Hotel is the latest luxury hotel on the block, located between the East Village and NoHo in Manhattan. The décor is positively fabulous (check out the photo). As described by NYT Travel:
The latest venture from Eric Goode and Sean MacPherson, who created the Maritime Hotel and numerous boîtes, the hotel evokes the Gilded Age of red waistcoats, hand-set bricks and wood-paneled elevators. And the views from the upper floors are positively grand. So what if you might have to step over a few vestigial bums to get there?
HotelChatter's been tracking this baby for months. For the inside scoop, including behind-the-scenes photos snapped before the opening, check out the articles here. Opening rates are a good deal-- at $375 per night.

Ranked the "Best Business Hotel" in Germany by readers of Travel and Leisure, Hotel Adlon Kempinski is legendary. And the hotel continues to make history, after opening one of the most opulent (and expensive) suites in the world: the EUR 20,000 ultra-bullet-proof, seven-room Presidential Suite. Enjoy the hotel's jubilee year with special events, film screenings, historic exhibits, and of course: wine and cake. The famous Adlon birthday cake is made fresh daily in the hotel's own patisserie: marzipan, nougat, and divine French chocolate, served every day in the hotel lobby.

Did you know I wear glasses? Well, actually, I (mostly) wear contacts. I've had horrible eyesight since elementary school.
12 years ago, I had a corneal ulcer from sleeping with my lenses in overnight, and since that very painful (and scary) experience I NEVER skimp on my ocular health, even when I'm struggling financially without insurance.
I've always liked the optometrist. Vision and hearing tests were always kinda fun for me as a kid (probably because I got to skip Phys Ed to take them).
My appointment was at 11, so I waited til afterwards for brunch.
Paleta meal bits – these Wild Mushroom and Black Bean Cakes were fabulous!
Leftover salad from last night's impromptu dinner too
Just took Julius for a quick walk…
…going out of my way to run errands in a different part of town; see if I can make an Artist's Date out of this gorgeous day!!!
Do you wear glasses/contacts?

For HTML, the suggested construct is p.contentDocument.url,
where p is a pointer to the frame or iframe.
For XML, one can get the documentURI of the Document,
or try to do something clever with the src attribute of
the requisite Element.
Regrettably, IE does not support p.contentDocument.url.
Altering the URL in an iframe could be interesting (and
potentially malevolent); however, accessing it shouldn't
be a major security risk.

You can keep up with what's going on by looking at our website... www.highamyouthandcommunity.co.uk The new website also covers the extensive renovation works on an updated community amenity -- the Pavilion. Higham Youth Club is managing this community project by taking on a lease of The Pavilion building (on the Recreation Ground). We had been desperately looking for additional facilities to run an older age club locally for many years. We had also wanted to expand the clubs and activities offered. For more information, please click here.
If anyone in the village would like to give up a couple of hours per week of their time and help us as a volunteer please contact Jo for more information on 07817 746097. All adult helpers are checked through the Disclosure and Barring System (formerly Criminal Records Bureau), and we do ask for 2 referees.. You will understand that this is purely to safeguard our young members. Working with the young people at these clubs is a very enjoyable experience and also gives you the opportunity to take part in exciting activities too!! Some photos taken during a recent residential trip:
A message from Jo Raff, Youth Club Leader
I am the current leader of Higham Youth Club (since 2007). As many people in the Village know the club has grown considerably in that time and we have been in need of providing additional sessions to cater for all the young people who wish to attend. We have been seeking premises for many years to enable us to run further activities.
Originally the Pavilion on the Recreation Ground was built for Higham Boys Club which closed. The Pavilion was then occupied by the kindergarten which sadly closed last Summer. The Parish Council have been working very hard negotiating a lease renewal of the Recreation Ground, Sports Courts and Pavilion building. The landowners said all three parts had to be included in the lease, and due to problems with the negotiations for almost three years there was real risk of the Village losing the Recreation Ground,Sports Courts and Pavilion. At the end of December, on behalf of the youth club, I was asked if we would be interested in taking on the Pavilion building. The building is currently in a very poor state of repair and needs urgent works to make it safe. We had to consider this very carefully. Clearly it would help us as it would give us a great opportunity to be able to offer so much more to young people in the Village, but it would also mean taking on a huge project which would cost a considerable amount of money and time.
We decided to go ahead and submitted a business plan which was approved by the Parish Council. The Parish Council have always supported the youth of the village wherever possible.
Outline approval has now been given to us taking on a sublease although documentation still has to be signed.
We have many exciting plans for the future, and wish to turn the Pavilion into a "hub" providing activities, clubs and events for the young people and other community users in the Village. We just could not see the loss of the Recreation Ground or Sports Courts as these are used by so many different groups, including our youth club. It is already so sad that the Village no longer has nursery provision, and we didn't want to see the demise of the youth club due to lack of facilities.
We will be applying for grants, holding fundraising events, and working very hard to raise the money needed to fund the building works needed. We have to be able to provide a safe place for people to meet and that is our initial priority (although hope to make further improvements in due course).
We will be needing architects, builders, plumbers, electricians, and many other tradesman for the works at the Pavilion.
This venture is completely non-profit making. All monies raised will go back in to provide further activities to benefit the Village. Eventually we wish to see the Pavilion used seven days a week, all day and evenings, providing a whole range of activities and clubs. Further details are in our business plans.
We hope Villagers will support us. We have started to receive donations from kind Villagers. If you feel you could help us out, or have made a pledge to help already please could you message me, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you so much.

Allotments are small plots of land set aside for local people to rent and grow plants, vegetables, fruit, etc. Allotment size can vary or be divided up to provide variety of produce for your own requirements. Click here to go to the informative BBC allotment web page.
season the Parish Allotments showed an increase in the number of plots rented
for cultivation. This was most encouraging and the Parish Council decided
to undertake a survey of the condition of all the plots. The survey was completed
in November 2004 and showed that there were a number of overgrown plots. The
Parish Council has cleared the top vegetation from some of these plots which
are now available for cultivation.
Water stand-pipes are within reach of all the allotments, so if you are interested in finding out more, please contact the Higham Parish Clerk on 01474 822642 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Urban Family Gardens (Colombia-South-America)
Urban Family Gardens is a proposal that begin in low-income neighborhoods of Medellin-Colombia, to help in the solution of problems of hunger and scarcity in the city, also to create awareness about creative use of resources.
Initially the purpose was a school community garden, but due the poverty and vandalism, was necessary the construction of a protection fence, and for lack of resources to build the fence properly, the project take the model of family gardens.
Three mothers today benefit the project, which is focused on growing vegetables and herbs in containers like urban agriculture.
Resources were generated initially by a fundraising and raffles, and with the 3 families was planned the realization of systems of collecting rain water (rain barrels), the construction in bamboo of small module for vertical crops, small greenhouse, the purchase of containers (bottles, pots and barrels), soil, compost and seeds for each family.
Colombia has a tropical climate what make possible to grow food all year long; the families has been planting tomatoes, onions, coriander, peppers, lettuce and carrots.
The objective of the project is that families learn effectively how to grow vegetables in available space in their backyards. Inspire and invite other families to do the same.
And with expertise and resources, advance to community gardens for those who can't plant in their homes, because don't have space, which are many, expecting to involve to refugee families that live in a close sector.

After giving the annual Founders Day Lecture at The Abbey Sutton Courtenay, June 2014, Brad Strachan, The Abbey organiser, wrote:
"I want to thank you again for a great evening. I enjoyed the way you engaged with people and helped them to be participants and have their minds more engaged in the event rather than just 'listeners' ...The conversation afterwards in the hall and in the dinning room was also engaged and for the most part rose above the normal trivia. Thank you."
After a keynote presentation at the Heart of Medicine Conference, Dillington, June 2014, on integrating spirituality and healthcare, Dr Patricia Saintley of Heartfelt Consulting wrote:
"We are delighted you have been able to contribute and bring so much experience to this conference. We are so grateful for your wonderful contribution."

William Bloom is a modern western mystic and considered by many to be Britain's leading and most experienced mind-body-spirit teacher. The heart of his modernising approach and inspiring courses is to help people discover their own best way to connect with the wonder and energy of life, and then support them in developing a regular spiritual practice. more
The essence of my life is simple: In my early childhood I had several powerful experiences or instincts that have remained with me and inspired me. The first was a very powerful sense of the beauty and wonder of life; just looking at the blue of the sky was enough to make me experience and know that there was a power and goodness behind everything.
The second was that I kept noticing that there was more to me than just the child, the personality, I presented to the world. Within me there was another identity— watchful, strong, loving.
The third was an instinctive outrage at and sense of compassion towards injustice and suffering.
My life has been about developing and integrating those three influences. I teach what I too am learning and deepening.
For all my book writing, teaching and intellectual pursuits, I love rough and tumbling with children, motorbikes, dogs and friendly adults. I am happiest meditating, being in landscape and participating in group situations where there is a creative, vital and educational process. I also love movement and dance (all sorts), work out at the gym regularly, and practice chi gung and yoga. I like watching movies and am grateful for the stimulation, challenges and love of my family.
William Bloom Ph.D., B.Sc. (Econ), Cert. Ed.
Born in 1948, William Bloom grew up in central London. His mother was a New York journalist who spent the war years in the notorious Changi Gaol; after the war she founded the National deaf Childrens Society and was one of the first people to have her life done on This Is Your Life. His father was a psychiatrist specialising in psycho-sexual problems.
William Bloom attended St. Pauls School, London, but dropped out to become a full-time participant in swinging London, flower power and counter-culture. At the age of 22 he became the youngest ever commissioning editor in publishing at Macmillans where he founded the Open Gate imprint to promote counter-culture books. He was the first person in the UK to publish Lenny Bruce and gave Macmillans their first number one bestseller in many years with a biography of Elvis Presley.
He also co-founded Advise, the first 24-hour immigrant advisory service in the UK and published International Times for a short period. He rode with and was an honorary member of the All England Chapter of the Hells Angels.
His writing in the early 70s included three novels, one novella (all published before he was 25) and four thrillers (under a pseudonym.) His novels received lead reviews and he was considered an important writer of his generation. At the same time, he was in psychoanalysis with Dr Edward Glover, one of the founders of psychoanalysis, for three years.
He then undertook a two year retreat living amid the Saharan Berbers in the High Atlas Mountains of southern Morocco, a spiritual quest which changed his life. His diary of this period was published as The Sacred Magician and is considered a classic work of its kind. In 1976 he founded a small community and meditation group in Glastonbury and brought up his first child, James, with his first wife, Frances Howard-Gordon.
William then studied International Relations as a mature student at the London School of Economics, where he also taught and gained a doctorate in political psychology. This was published by Cambridge University Press as Personal Identity, National Identity and International Relations. (1989, 1992.) He lectured at the LSE on Psychological Problems in International Politics.
During the same period he gained a Certificate in Education at Garnet College, specialising in communication skills, counselling and special needs. He turned away from an academic career to work as a tutor with special needs adolescents and adults for ten years in an inner city community college, Southwark College; he also helped pioneer a certificated course in community group management.
Since the late 1970s Williams writing and teaching have reflected his interest in new approaches to exploring consciousness and spirituality. In 1988, with his wife Sabrina Dearborn and friend Malcolm Stern, he co-founded and directed the popular Alternatives Programme at St. Jamess Church, Piccadilly. This is London's major platform for holistic perspectives and includes weekly lectures, workshops and classes covering a wide range of alternative perspectives including tribal religions, new psychology, new science, spiritual ecology, meditation, metaphysics and the arts. The programme is deliberately accessible and attracts over fifteen thousand people every year.
He has also been on the faculty of the Findhorn Foundation, considered by many people to be the major holistic community in Europe, for over twenty years. He teaches and runs workshops internationally and has regular bases in Denmark, Norway, Bulgaria and Slovenia. He has featured in many radio and television programmes including The Moral Maze, The Soul of Britain and as a judge on The God List.
He had the honour of addressing the UN Oslo Conference on Religion and Belief (August 1998) where a Holistic approach to spirituality was given equal status alongside the traditional faiths.
In 2007 he co-founded the Foundation for Holistic Spirituality and the Spiritual Companions project.
William stopped writing fiction when he was twenty-six.
His published books were
Three novels: Softly Children Im Coming, A Canterbury Tale and Getting There
A novella: The Philosophers Stone
Four thrillers under the pseudonym of W.W.: The Taming Power, The Riches, White Fire and The Prophets of Evil

AbstractDiverse structural, functional and valuable polysaccharides are synthesized by bacteria of all taxa and secreted into the external environment. These polysaccharides are referred to as exopolysaccharides and they may either be homopolymeric or heteropolymeric in composition and of diverse high molecular weights (10 to 1000 kDa). The material properties of exopolysaccharides have revolutionized the industrial and medical sectors due to their retinue of functional applications and prospects. These applications have been extensive in areas such as pharmacological, nutraceutical, functional food, cosmeceutical, herbicides and insecticides among others, while prospects includes uses as anticoagulant, antithrombotic, immunomodulation, anticancer and as bioflocculants. Due to the extensive applications of bacterial exopolysaccharides, this overview provides basic information on their physiologic and morphologic functions as well as their applications and prospects in the medical and industrial sectors.

ARLINGTON, Va. (June 1, 2010) -- The annual National Memorial Day observance to honor AmericaAca,!a,,cs fallen military servicemembers was held May 31 at Arlington National Cemetery.
The U.S. Army Military District of Washington conducted an Armed Forces Full Honor Wreath-Laying Ceremony at 11 a.m. at the Tomb of the Unknowns. Maj. Gen Karl R. Horst, commander of Joint Force Headquarters-National Capital Region and The U. S. Army Military District of Washington, served as the official escort for Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who laid the wreath.
About 1,000 people watched the wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknowns and an additional 5,000 people attended the ceremony in the amphitheater.
An observance program hosted by the Department of Defense in the Memorial Amphitheater followed the wreath-laying ceremony. The musical prelude prior to the program was performed by The U.S. Navy Band. Members of the Veterans Service Organizations participated in the Parade of Colors. Another interlude was played by The U.S. Navy Band followed by the invocation by Col. Brent Causey, U.S. Army Command Chaplain for Joint Force Headquarters-National Capital Region and The U. S. Army Military District of Washington.
After the playing of the National Anthem, Adm. Mike G. Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave the opening remarks and The U.S. Navy Sea Chanters performed a rendition of "American anthem."
William J. Lynn III, deputy secretary of Defense, gave remarks and introduced the keynote speaker, Joseph R. Biden Jr., vice president of the United States.
The vice president said participating in the ceremony was "the greatest honor of my public life." In his opening comments he stated, "Collectively, the generation of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines who have served and sacrificed for us are the heart and soul, and I would say, spine of this nation. And as a nation, we pause today to remember them. They gave their lives fulfilling their oath to this nation and to us. And in so doing, they imparted a responsibility on us to recognize, to respect, to honor and to care for those who risked their lives so that we can live ours."
He concluded his comments by saying,"To those who have lost a loved one in the service of our nation, I recall a famous headstone in Ireland. And the headstone reads as follows, 'Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal.' No one can steal the memory from you. I can tell you from my own personal experience that eventually the pain and heartache you now feel will eventually, God-willing, be replaced by the joyful memory of the son or daughter or husband and wife or father or mother that you loved so dearly and lost. Jill and my prayer for you is that that day will come sooner rather than later. But it will come, I promise you."
After Vice President Biden's remarks, TAPS, benediction and the dismissal of colors concluded the ceremony. Biden also visited families of servicemembers in Section 60 immediately after the ceremony.

Don't panic! Here are words of praise for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! "It's science fiction and it's extremely funny...inspired lunacy that leaves hardly a science fiction cliche alive." Washington Post "The feckless protagonist, Arthur Dent, is reminiscent of Vonnegut heroes, and his travels afford a wild satire of present institutions." Chicago Tribune "Very simply, the book is one of the funniest SF spoofs ever written, with hyperbolic ideas folding in on themselves." School Library Journal "As parody, it's marvelous: It contains just about every science fiction cliche you can think of. As humor, it's, well, hysterical."

ES underwear and swimwear have become some of the hottest trends in the men's swim and underwear game. Until recently, the ES Underwear Collection was only available in Spain. Now, however, a limited selection is available in the US, and we were lucky enough to snatch it up just in time for summer. Since our UG customers have been raving about the comfort and fit of our sexy ES styles, we thought we'd tell you a little bit more about the brand.
The ES Collection started in 2005 and, as a fledgling business, made quite the splash. It was featured on the cover of DNA magazine and has appeared in other print and online publications. The annual unveiling of the new ES Barcelona swimsuits and the ES Underwear Collection has become a highly anticipated occasion. If you're not lucky enough to travel to Spain for these fabulous events, look no further than Universal Gear and www.universalgear.com to check out the sultry collection.
What I love about ES underwear and swimsuits is that the entire collection is made to be sexy and incredible. The use of hot colors, original styles and clean lines makes the ES Collection the outstanding brand that it is. I especially love the attention to detail and fit, which is so important to the ES design process. Every piece from collection is a masterpiece in itself. So, be bold and try something new: click here to view UG's assortment of ES Swim & Underwear!

In case the photos below don't give it away, next week means hot new summer apparel from Diesel! More than 20 styles of the trendiest denim, shirts, underwear and shoes will be coming your way very, very soon! That is, as soon as we finish unpacking these boxes...
A New Spin on a Classic Style. I love these new chino style pants from Ben Sherman & Diesel 55. They have that preppy touch with a twist; the slight tapering of the leg mixed with a clean design makes for a smart and, might I say, dashing look! The 55DSL Tan Prowler Pant (center) & the Ben Sherman Bravo Chino Pant (tan & stone grey) are must-haves for the hip professional. To make the look a little more casual, pair these styles with a hot new polo from Fred Perry or a sexy layered Henley from our latest Spanish import, ES.

The first of many behind-the-scenes/photoshoot clips to come: Chris models our new arrivals from G-Star, Fred Perry and Life After Denim!
For those of you old enough, we used to carry this line a while back. Rebel Yell has finally reformed and is looking better than ever! A combination of bright colors and fun vintage graphics makes for the perfect casual summer look.
The collection also boasts a compelling, beautiful story. When we read this, we simply couldn't resist bringing Rebel Yell back into your lives and ours:
Rebel Yell reflects the nostalgia of a childhood spent in the glory days of the late 70s & early 80s. From the clothing to the distinct name, the inspiration for the line comes from the many memories that owners - and brother/sister duo - Daniel and Andi Ballard shared while growing up in Virginia. What better way to epitomize their rowdy, all-American childhood than to name the brand after their favorite wooden roller coaster, The Rebel Yell?
Raised by a fashion-loving folk/rock musician mom, Daniel & Andi were introduced to and influenced by the world of style at a very young age. There was never a shortage of inspiring fashion, art and music around the house while they were growing up. With the classic rock greats they were raised on echoing through their design studio, Andi & Daniel set out to create a collection reminiscent of the clothing they grew up with: kick-ass, worn-in to perfection, and all things vintage.
One week ago today, Universal Gear hosted its Underwear Fashion Show and Auction to benefit the 35th Capital Pride celebration. From atop the bar at JR's, our sexy models Aaron, Embry and Shawn displayed the latest Camo, Surf, Static and Essentials underwear lines from 2(x)ist and, much to the delight of the crowd, even attempted a few one-handed push-ups. Thanks to Washington Blade, we have some excellent video coverage to share with you below. Once again, many thanks to everyone who came out to support us and Capital Pride!
Thanks to everyone who supported Universal Gear at this year's Capital Pride Parade! You all looked fabulous. For your viewing pleasaure, here's a nice video recap of the festivities, compliments of Washington Blade. Enjoy!
Welcome to Part 2 of our Do-It-Yourself series! Today we'll show you how to take any crew neck t-shirt - such as the American Apparel one below - and turn it into something a bit more sexy. The notched v-neck is one of the easier modifications out there. It only takes about 5 minutes and can be done in 4 easy steps. So, grab your scissors and get ready to cut it out!
1. Find a tighter fitting crew neck t-shirt. The look just doesn't have the same effect if the shirt is too loose.
2. Find the center of the front crew (it's usually in line with the interior tag). Grab your scissors and make your first cut about 1/4" to the right of the center point. The cut should be straight down and about 1" in length.
3. Repeat the same cut about 1/4" to the left of the center point.
4. Cut inward at an angle from both existing cuts so that they meet at a point. If the notch that you've cut out is more or less triangular in shape, congrats - you've created your very own notched v-neck! Now, put it on and enjoy!
P.S. Don't be surprised if your friends are jealous of how sexy you look. You can always help them out by sending them over to UG Unzipped! ;)
That's right, June is finally here! It's time for Pride: remembering the past, celebrating the present and planning for the future. Major Pride festivals and parades are happening in New York, Seattle, Orlando, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and DC throughout the month of June, and Universal Gear has all of your Pride needs covered! In order to survive any Pride weekend, there are four fashion essentials that you should keep in mind. Let me break them down for you.
Let's start with the basics. For those of you who choose to showcase your underwear at all of your favorite Pride events (I don't judge), now is the time to get creative and colorful! After all, Pride is a celebration of diversity! Brands like Andrew Christian, Baskit, Clever, Ed Hardy, Ginch Gonch, Papi, Diesel, Piss & Vinegar and 2(x)ist offer assortments of vibrant prints and cuts.
Comfort and style are very important considerations when it comes to choosing the correct footwear for Pride. Let's face it: between the parades, bars and festivals, you end up spending a lot of time on your feet. Flip-flops from Havaianas and Sundek are perfect for a casual daytime look, while brands like Replay and Converse will cater to your nightlife needs.
The tank is always a hit during Pride because it allows you to show off - without completely compromising modesty - the body you've worked so hard on! Universal Gear has a plethora of tank styles from a variety of popular brands. Check out some of our amazing G-Star, Andrew Christian, B2G, LASC and Zodiak tanks.
No Pride celebration would be complete without an assortment of bottoms... like shorts and denim. Selecting the right pair of shorts for your daytime activities is very important: a well-fitted pair with adequate pocket space is ideal. Your best bets from Universal Gear are our lines from Diesel, Jet Lag, G-Star, Paperback, John Varvatos, Ben Sherman and Union. Of course, when you're living it up at night you'll probably want to make the switch to denim. With our sexy and lightweight summer styles from Diesel, Levi's, Seven and Adriano Goldschmeid, we've got you covered!
Take care and play safe! Happy Pride!

This is our first post in our new Do-It-Yourself (DIY) series. Ever since our website revealed an Ajaxx63 model sporting a DIY cut tee, we've been getting a lot of questions about how to do this at home. So, here you have it: a step-by-step guide, thanks to EMENSHION, on how to turn a basic tee into an ultra sexy muscle shirt! Enjoy!
1.Find a slightly baggy t-shirt (you definitely don't want it to be too tight). We suggest sticking to a regular crew neck or ringer neck; V-necks don't really work with this style.
2.You're going to need to make 4 notch marks - two on each side - where you want to start and finish your cut. The top notch marks will ultimately determine how much coverage the shirt provides. For example, cutting closer to the neck will reduce the coverage. We suggest starting the cut about 1.5" to 2" away from the neck, measured from the rib collar (the green collar in these photos). The bottom notch will determine the depth of the cut; the lower the cut, the looser the fit.
3.Time for the actual cutting process! Start at the top notch and work your way down. To achieve the best shape, the cut should look like a "J". This means that the first 2/3 of the cut should be pretty straight, and the final 1/3 should curve out to meet the bottom notch. Don't worry about making the perfect cut - as long as you stick to the basic shape, you'll be just fine!
For a little bit of inspiration and your viewing pleasure, check out the hot DIY Ajaxx63 muscle shirt below. Oh, and make sure to stay tuned for our next DIY t-shirt cutting post!
