World War II London Blitz Diary's: 1939-1945
History is never quite as real as when it is told by those who lived it. Ruby Thompson, living during the World War ll London Blitz bombing blasts history out of the realm of dry, dusty names and dates and places the reader in the midst of the terrifying events as they unfold. This is very important documentation and will have tremendous appeal to those who have an avid interest in the effect of the war on ordinary citizens.

- World War ll London Blitz: Buy On SmashwordsYoga Fairy Coloring Book by Adele Aldridge Buy on AmazonRecently I started re-reading the World War ll journals and felt that they were such an important part of a history that will soon be forgotten if not published and shared with the world. These diary excerpts are not the entirety of what is published in print and kindle.Ruby grew up during a time when education was just beginning to be encouraged for both upper and middle class women. During the late 1890's Ruby explored many radical political ideas of London, England. She met many famous people including the writers George Bernard Shaw and William Butler Yeats.5.0 out of 5 stars A choice pick, not to be overlooked, November 6, 2011 By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)Review by WisteriaMag.Com for Yoga Fairy Coloring Book
Yoga Fairies coloring book is not only magical and fun (I mean, fairies doing yoga, what's not awesome about that?) but it also serves as a platform to stimulate emotional and physical well-being. On top of that, it is an original artist design. As an artist myself, I believe this makes it even more amazing. In my opinion, this could be the best coloring book you ever buy. I know I will be getting one for my nieces, my sister and also for myself!
The coloring book Yoga Fairies by Adele Aldridge is pure genius. It features fairies demonstrating yoga poses, so that while you are coloring you are learning yoga.
Unless you are a yoga pro, it can be hard to remember all of the poses. When you are taking your time and coloring the poses it allows you the time and concentration to really study the pose and remember it.
World War ll London Blitz: 5-2-1945 to 5-9-1945 Tonight's news: Ten forty-five p.m. is of the unconditional surrender of all the German Armies in North Italy, about a million men.
May 2, 1945
Another of Joan's surprise visits. She arrived about seven-fifty a.m. and had only heard of Hitler's death on her way here. As she listened to the eight a.m. news she began to cry. I was at the gas stove, making the breakfast toast; poor Joan came and threw herself into my arms, and had a weeping fit. She was thinking of George, of course.
Tonight's news: Ten forty-five p.m. is of the unconditional surrender of all the German Armies in North Italy, about a million men.
May 3, 1945
Berlin has fallen. The Russians are in complete possession of the city. Many high officers and Party men have been taken prisoners. One of them, a propagandist minister, second to Goebbels, says that Hitler committed suicide, and Goebbels also. This may or may not be true, but it would account for why Goebbels did not announce the death of Hitler. These Germans say Hitler has been dead for some days, but that the Nazi's had been trying to build up a legend of him as the hero; now, as the beloved leader, fighting to the death against Bolshevism. Admiral Domitz says, "The fight will go on", but does not say exactly how! Today he has declared Prague a "hospital city", so that will not be assaulted, this also looks as though he will not continue the fight long, no matter what he says. Amongst others, Rundstedt has been taken prisoner. Ribbentrop has been deposed as Foreign Minister, but is unheard from. Laval and Deat have landed from a plane in Barcelona. France ordered them to depart again, but they refused to go, so they have been interned; at least, that's the story.
It is now three-thirty p.m. and a nasty day, cold and dreary. This is our fortieth wedding anniversary. No celebrations, Ted asked me if I would like to go to the movies, but I said no thank-you. It is three years since I have been to the movies, and I have lost all inclination to go. Then, besides, all cinemas this week are showing pictures of the German concentration camps, and I certainly don't want to look at these. Joan had seen them, and she says they are awful, absolutely horrifying. Yet she thinks people should see them. Perhaps; but not me, I can't do anything about the horrors, now or ever, so I cant see any use in making myself sick looking at them.
May 6, 1945
I wrote to Charlie and Marjorie. As usual, this has made me very homesick for New Jersey. The end of the war is in sight. The Germans are surrendering wholesale, Northern Italy, North West Germany, and Holland, Denmark.
Eire! DeValera, accompanied by J.P. Walshe, Secretary to the Department of External affairs, called on the German Minister in Dublin last evening to express condolence on Hitler's death. Beautiful darling Irish again! Blast them!
May 7, 1945
We received a letter from Cuthie, written on May 3, 1945 "Somewhere in Germany." I cannot transcribe it because Ted has taken possession of it, but it was to tell us that he and a few hundred others had been relieved by the British Army on the previous day; that they were still "quite dazed", but they hoped to get to Lunaberg the following day for a bath, and to be home soon. He signed it with all his official numbers, etc, and ex-P.O.W. I noticed the "ex" Ted noticed that he still signed as Sergeant, so could not have had mail for a long time past as evidently he was unaware of his promotion.
Today came the news of the final capitulation of all Germany. The "new " Foreign Minister, Count Schwem Von Krogik, has broadcast to his German people announcing the unconditional surrender of all fighting German troops. Grand Admiral Donitz, the new Fuhrer, has ordered the unconditional surrender of all German fighting forces including his own navy of course.
So the war in Europe is over.
This news was given us on the B.B.C. just before eight tonight. Tomorrow is to be observed as official VE Day. Churchill will broadcast the official proclamation at three p.m., and the King is to broadcast at nine o'clock in the evening both tomorrow and Wednesday are to be holidays in the United Kingdom.
There is a feeling of anti-climax. I feel too sad for words.
May 8, 1945 Wednesday
May 9, 1945 VE Days. Holiday.
World War ll London Blitz: 4-9-1945 to 4-30-1945 How much longer must we wait for the last utter final collapse?
April 9, 1945
The news. In Italy our troops are within thirty kilometers of Spezia. In Austria, the Russians have taken five of the city districts of Vienna, including the center of the city. Stalin has tonight announced the capture of Konigsberg, and the taking of twenty seven thousand prisoners there. The best news of all, the American Ninth Army has taken Krupp's, at Essen. The works were handed over to the Americans by a mere employee, who told the American officer to whom he surrendered the place, that not a wheel had turned in the works since March 1, when the R.A.F. bombed them. He also said the Krupp's-Essen Railway was also destroyed by the R.A.F. Further; the Germans are flocking into Denmark as refugee. One Hundred and Ninety Thousand German refugees are in Copenhagen alone. How much longer must we wait for the last utter final collapse?
April 13, 1945
I was deeply shocked on the first news to hear of the sudden death of President Roosevelt. He died at Warm Springs, Georgia at ten-thirty last night, of a cerebral hemorrhage, very suddenly.
April 17, 1945
I listened this morning to a Memorial Service for Roosevelt, broadcast from St. Paul's Cathedral. It was beautiful; also it made me know again where my spiritual home is. When I hear the beautiful words of the English service, I know I belong in the English Church. Roosevelt belonged to the Protestant Episcopalian Church of America, the church I was married in. When the congregation began to sing The Battle Hymn of the Republic I began to weep; and when the last post was sounded I felt my heart would break.
Early this morning Reta telephoned to tell me that in this morning's Daily Telegraph, the number of Cuthie's camp, number three hundred fifty-seven, was given as one of the prisoners camps liberated yesterday by our armies. I have not seen the Times yet, nor has it been mentioned on the wireless, but I expect it's true. Thank God.
I got letters from Charlie and Marjorie this morning, for my birthday, also a card from Chic.
April 18, 1945
It is my sixty first birthday. I feel anything but gay and happy; in fact I awoke in one of my moods of sadness and depression.
April 19, 1945
Today all our papers show photos of the various Labor and Concentration Camps in Germany, awful beyond words. The German's who did these frightful horrible deeds are worse than the fiends of Hell. In Parliament Mr. Churchill has said that he received a telegram from General Eisenhower recommending that we send a delegation of some responsible men to see these things for themselves, and then make their own report to the Government; he said he thought eight men form the Commons and two from the Lords should go, and go tomorrow, and asked for volunteers. I am not going to detail the atrocities here, they are frightful and inhuman. What I want to note is this, touching the problem of suffering. In this gratuitous brutality inflicted upon scores of thousands of innocent men, women and children, by other human beings (the Herrenvolk!), where does God and His Righteousness come in? What about the responsibility of God? These victims were innocent and defenseless, and their sufferings were arbitrarily imposed upon them for years, or until death released them, by the Germans. They did not suffer for their guilt or their sins; they did not suffer as a sacrifice for others. They suffered for nothing. Nothing. How can they be recompensed? Since God permitted everything, and foresaw it all, how can God be excused?
This is a problem. I can't understand it. It is insoluble. The only way I can come near a solution is to reject the idea of a Personal God.
Ted says it isn't a problem, and he can easily understand it. There has always been suffering in the world, and this is only a part of it. It is the Law of Suffering, brought about by the sin of Adam. I am appalled at this silly talk. "But you don't suffer this." I said. "No," he said; "but that's only accidental." Suffering, yes, some physical and perhaps good even, indicating where the body must cure itself of disease; a great deal of it our own seeking; a great deal of it avoidable; some of it even deliberately sought, inverted pleasure. This deliberate infliction of cruel suffering upon masses of human beings by other human beings, for it's own sake, and for delight, no, there is nothing good in that suffering. Why did God permit it?
So that the inherent goodness of other better men can show itself in deeds of heroic rescue? What of those who died before rescue? What of the suffering endured which will still remain as having happened? No, that is no answer.
There is no answer. Ted's theological farrago is simple nonsense. The Christian argument answers nothing. Christianity is a dead horse. By the way I notice Roosevelt spoke always of "God", and Churchill and Montgomery speak of God but never of Jesus, any of them. Jesus is inadequate for our days. But what of God? Well, God is the sum of goodness, I think. That's all I can think today.
April 20, 1945
Ted is spieling about "Free Will", the regular argybargy. I agree the Germans used their free will to work wickedness, but this still doesn't account for the sufferings of their victims, who did not enter the Labor and Concentration Camps of their own free will, nor accept their sufferings willingly. Ted is hopelessly sunk in his orthodox explanations, which actually explain nothing. It is a waste of time to listen to him. He has the completely closed Catholic mind, and it is worthless.
April 23, 1945
The Russians are fighting in the suburbs of Berlin. I am reading Martha Dodd's book, "My Years in Germany", which I missed when it came out in nineteen thirty-nine, though I did send for her father's book, which was an account of his years in Germany as the American Ambassador. Reading this book today, which ends before the outbreak of the war, I am surprised at the vice, horrors, crimes and madness it reports. One can see that war was the inevitable outcome of it all. What fools of statesmen we kept in office! Martha Dodd scorns Chamberlin and Daladier. In her closing paragraphs she writes: "We have witnessed the rape of Austria, the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia, the wholesale and unparallel murder of the Jews, the vicious and destructive class action by unprincipled if hard driven Judases like Chamberlain and Daladier. We have seen even America participate inadvertently in the capitulation to Hitler and his war mongers… if we do not urge a support of international peace and democracies whatever they remain; we do not realize that cooperation with England and France can be effected only when Daladier, Chamberlain and their ilk either change their policies or are removed from office if we do not recognize that the French and English leaders are in desperate straits with their own people because of their betrayal of their nations before, at and after Munich, we cannot possibly understand their pursuit everywhere and especially in our own powerful democracy for support, and appreciate our potentially constructive influence in remolding European affairs. If we do not conclude once and for all, as an American nation, that there is no such thing as isolation when the nations of the world are on our doorstep, we will discover too late that we are fighting the destructive and international Fascist spirit almost single handed, aided surely, only by Russia."
April 23, 1945 St. George's Day
General Saunts, is already in San Francisco for the coming conference, is reported as having said last night, that not only must the delegates draw up plans for the establishing of future peace in the world, but that they should also draw up a plain statement of what we aim to live for, a sort of new Declaration of Liberty, I take it. He also said something to the effect that the world must know what it is to live for, because society has suffered such a psychological shock, it could not possible survive another one.
April 26, 1945
Berlin is entirely surrounded by the Russian's, who also occupy two-thirds of the city. Hitler is reported to be in the city, personally directing the defense.
April 27, 1945
This evening the B.B.C. read an announcement, just given out from 10 Downing Street, to this effect:
General Eisenhower reports that firm contact has been established between his ground forces and those of our Soviet Allies. The commanders of a United States division and of a Russian Guards division met at Torgan on April 26, at four p.m.
So the Russians and the Americans have linked at last, on the Elbe, and Germany has been cut in two. Torgan, unheard of until tonight, is, we are told, northeast of Leipzig.
Moscow announces that Russian forces fighting for the conquest of Berlin have captured Potsdam, Spandau, and Rathenow. Farther west, Regensburg (old time Ratisbon) has fallen to the Americans, the Third Army, today, the Twenty-Seventh of April. Bremen is now virtually in British possession. General Dittmar, radio commentator of the German High Command, has given himself up to us in Magdeburg. He has declared that it is true Hitler is in Berlin, and his own opinion that Hitler would die there. Also he expressed his own belief that the war would be over in a few days. Goring has asked Hitler to allow him to resign from the Command of the Luftwaffe, for reasons of health! He is supposed to be suffering from a bad heart. Maybe is his, but more likely Himmler chose to demote him.
April 30, 1945
Mussolini is dead. The story is he was caught in Como yesterday whilst trying to escape, and was hanged there, with his mistress also, and that today the dead bodies were brought to Milan and exposed there. Hitler is reported dying. He has suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in Berlin. I suppose, in one of his rages, he has literally burst a blood vessel.
Himmler, through Count Bernadette, has offered unconditional surrender, but to the British and Americans only. This news comes via San Francisco. Our governments decline to accept such an offer; they maintain that unconditional surrender must be made to all the allies, particularly inclusive of Russia. Of course.
It is now eleven p.m. and the German radio, at ten-twenty p.m., announced the death of Hitler, "fallen at the head of his army, in the depths of his Capitol." Admiral Donitz made the announcement, and added that he was now the Fuehrer, by designation of Hitler. Who knows? Why didn't Goebbels do the announcing?
World War ll London Blitz: 3-1-45 to 3-31-1945 After four o'clock yesterday morning we had no bombs all day, but Gerry made up for his remissness last night all right; beginning at one-thirty he lobbed them over regularly every hour.
March 1, 1945
We had a rough night and a cold morning. After four o'clock yesterday morning we had no bombs all day, but Gerry made up for his remissness last night all right; beginning at one-thirty he lobbed them over regularly every hour. Then we had four between seven-thirty and eight-thirty, and no more until three-thirty this afternoon, since then, silence: and it is now eleven p.m. There is news tonight that President Roosevelt is safely back in Washington.
March 4, 1945
Since Friday Gerry has been sending his doodlebugs over again, night and day, as well as his rockets. Last night he sent piloted planes to bomb us, as well; these were the first he had sent since last July. The B.B.C. reports our defenses shot down six of them, and two more over the Continent. I have been writing letters most of the day. I wrote to Marjorie this afternoon. Now I am going to write a letter to Charlie, to go in the same envelope. The last news I had of Charlie was that his 2A deferment was up on February 7, and he thought it most likely he would be drafted. "But" wrote Marjorie, "it is hard to tell just what will happen; there is much talk, even official, which means nothing and leaves much to the discretion of the local draft boards." Well, I hope Charlie won't be drafted. Now I will write to him. So, Au-Revoir.
March 5, 1945
Between thirty and forty piloted German planes are now known to have been over here on Saturday night. We have had two alerts this morning, one at eleven and one at twelve twenty-five p.m. I heard the Gerry's going over but nothing was dropped in this neighborhood. The Americans have entered Cologne.
March 6, 1945
News on the wireless is that the fall of Cologne is imminent. Several rockets fell nearby during the night but we had no alert for doodles or planes. I cannot concentrate not on anything, apparently. It's this damn war getting me down. There was an alert just before I went out today, around half past two, and several Gerry planes went over. How can one concentrate on anything? Now it is time to get Ted's tea, so au-revoir.
March 7, 1945
It was a terrible night, rockets falling every half hour. Ted can sleep through most of the explosions, but I cant. He's lucky he can take them so callously.
March 8, 1945
It is evening now and at teatime Ted brought in the news of an "accident" to Mrs. Arendzen. As he expressed it "She has caught a packet." She was in a bus, on her way to Stamford Hill to visit her son, when a rocket fell directly in their path. She is very badly cut about the head and has a deep wound in her breast. In her face they have put twenty-seven stitches! Awful. So it goes; scarcely a day passes that we don't hear of this sort of thing happening to those we know. Any day it may be our turn. God preserve us, and only God can.
March 9, 1945
On the continent the Americans have crossed the Rhine below Cologne, and, we are told, have firmly established themselves on the eastern bank. Hitler promises to annihilate us with a Death Ray after March 15 He is supposed to have visited Berlin today, which we have bombed now for seventeen nights in succession. Oh, this war! Who will survive it!
March 12, 1945
I expect everybody is catching up on lost sleep, for last night was a nasty night for rockets. Beginning soon after eleven o'clock the damned things dropped over regularly every half hour or so all through the night. Several of them were alarmingly near. I have heard this morning that bad ones fell in Highlands Park and in Upminister. None have fallen since seven fifteen, just before breakfast, but all day planes and gliders have been going out, very noisy. Fierce battles are raging along the Rhine, especially where the Americans crossed last week at Remagen. People begin to say now that they think the war will end by Easter. It could, but I don't think it will.
March 14, 1945
On the nine o'clock news this evening the B.B.C. told us that today a new heavy bomb has been dropped on Germany. Its weight is twenty-two thousand pounds, or about ten tons. This is horrifying. I've been crying about it. I hate the Germans, and I think they asked for trouble and deserve all they get; but this is truly awful. Germans, too are flesh and blood, and in Germany as elsewhere the civilian is destroyed, the innocent suffer because of the guilty. Twenty-Two Thousand pound bombs are too dreadful to think about. When will mankind return to sanity?
March 15, 1945
We had a dreadful night of bombs, which is not to be wondered at, and an alert for Doodles about five-thirty a.m. I did not come downstairs, I felt too tired to get up. Anyhow the bomb passed over and we were all right. Since then we have heard rockets dropping every half hour or so, not in this immediate neighborhood but I don't know where. Anyhow they were sufficiently near to bang the doors and rattle the windows. On every news period the B.B.C reports the ten-ton bombs dropped in Germany. The reader seems to gloat about it. I feel ashamed for him. If we must wage war like this we shouldn't boast about it. I am in an awful state today anyhow. I feel ill, and I wonder whether I may no be mentally ill also. The first is, I can't stand marriage any longer. I just can't stand it. In the night Ted loved me. At the very moment he turned me on my back a rocket crashed and shook the bed; but that didn't make any difference to Ted, not a whit. All of this floods me with revulsion. I loathe the whole business and I loathe the man. Loathe him. This shouldn't be written I know. If I didn't spit out my venom in these pages I should go mad. Violently raving mad.
March 26, 1945
We had another bad night with rockets and doodlebugs. However, the war news is good. Montgomery's Army is across the lower Rhine on a twenty-five to thirty mile front and to a depth of over seven miles. General Patton's Third Army has made several crossings of the Rhine between Cobbling and Boppard. Churchill has crossed the Rhine, with Montgomery, and visited the troops in the newly won areas on the eastern bank. He also took a ride on the river. He's seventy, yet acts like this, so Ted says, "What a boy!" To me he seems to enjoy the war, and I have a very disagreeable feeling about such sportiness.
March 27, 1945
Advances were reported last night in all the Rhine bridgeheads. The Canadians have cleared the town of Rees. The American first army in the Remagen sector yesterday advanced twenty-two miles through the German lines. General Patton's tanks have entered the suburbs of Frankfurt. Lloyd-George has died. So has our neighbor Mr. Fitch. Lloyd-George was eighty-two, Mr. Fitch was eighty-four.
March 28, 1945
General Eisenhower has announced that the main German defense line has been broker in the crossing of the Rhine. The end must be near now.
Good Friday March 30, 1945
We had no bombs during the night, and none so far today. Maybe there will be no more; the whole German Army is reported on retreat in rout. No precise details yet, as "security silence" is being observed at Headquarters.
March 31, 1945
No definite news on the radio, this still being kept back " for security reasons", but at least we are told that Montgomery's forces are fifty miles beyond the Rhine. I keep wondering about Cuthie. That is why I am so touchy today I expect, for to think of him and of what he must be enduring now, brings me to tears. We had no bombs last night.
It is now eleven p.m. and the B.B.C announces that General Eisenhower has broadcast in Germany, to the German troops, and to the Foreign workers in Western Germany, to this effect: Soldiers! Over great portions of your country, your government has ceased to have any effective control; therefore, in order to avoid further useless bloodshed and loss of life, I command you: Surrender! Then followed details how to do so. Then to the foreign workers in Germany he said: I advise you, keep out of the way of the allied armies. Do not work in any factories or go near any railroads, bridges, etc. Take no more orders from the Germans. Go into the country and take refuge there; after we have passed, send delegates to the nearest allied officers depot, and we will make arrangements to return you to your homes and families at the earliest possible moment. We are fully aware of your anxieties, but do not impede us. Keep off the roads. Germans, these orders take effect immediately.
World War ll London Blitz: 2-2-1945 to 2-27-1945 : We have had four close by rockets already this morning.
February 2, 1945
We have had four close by rockets already this morning. We usually get more on Fridays than any other day of the week, last Friday we had seventeen, so I suppose this locality is on the German program for Fridays. Berlin is preparing for battle. The Red Army is within forty miles of it. It is estimated that four and one half million Germans are on the roads, fleeing from the Russians. Good, they ought to suffer what they caused others to suffer; but who will be sorry for the Germans? No one. No one in the whole wide world will be sorry.
February 10, 1945
This has been another bad week with any rockets falling. One at Hornchurch, near Emerson Park Station, very bad; two in Ilford, one falling just behind the Super Cinema, on a shirt factory, killing many, and the other on the Cranham Road. One fell on the bottling plant of the co-op milk depot, killing forty-seven men; the building had a complete glass roof, so the casualties were many. One fell on Bethnal Green Hospital, two hundred patients had to be removed under murderous conditions, and so it goes, night and day. We get about fifteen every twenty-four hours in this neighborhood alone, that is, counting only those I can hear; but they are falling all over London; probably a couple of hundred are launched against us every day, but only the officials know what happens in its immediate locality. No information is ever given on the wireless beyond the base statement that "enemy action over Southern England caused casualties and damage during the period ending at seven a.m. this morning." The allies have launched a new offensive in this West this week; the Russians daily get closer to Berlin; yet still the Germans fight. How much longer can they go on? The big three- Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin is meeting in conference, "somewhere in the Black Sea area." In the Pacific the Americans have re-taken Manila. The Burma Road has been re-opened. Possibly this year will see the end of the war, but guessing is futile.
February 16, 1945
The war news is terrible. The collapse of Germany cannot be very far off now, but the daily battling is more than I can bear to think about. Death, death, death, all the time. Then when it is all over what is the living going to do? All these young men who have gloried in killing for so long, how are they going to resume normal peaceful lives? They wont be able to be Normal ordinary men, to live lives without excitement. The present can't be thought about, nor can the future. I think nowhere in Europe is life going to be tolerable, even when the war ends. I hope to get out of it, to get away home to America. Meanwhile I think of the war as little as ever I can; that is the only way to stay sane, not to think about it. Instead I think about D.H.Lawrence, about Miriam Henderson, about Alice Searle, about Ruby Side…..
February 20, 1945
What I want to say, right here is that in case any grandchild of mine, forty or fifty years hence, should read this record of my life and thoughts; this is only a record of my life and thoughts, not a record of my times. I see, what I have written today, may be considered very trivial, and in face of events, very unfeeling. I tell you now; I have to turn my attention to these comparatively trivial things, to save my reason. To think about the war is to think about Hell. I wont do it. For the record of the history of these days you must look elsewhere. For instance, Churchill and Eden returned to this country yesterday from the Crimean Conference with Roosevelt and Stalin at Yalta, and a visit to Athens and Cairo in addition; and today both of them went to Parliament and spoke there. I don't care. They are great politicians, but I am sick of politicians and all of their words I am sick to death of them. On the Continent the war is more hellish then ever; men destroy each other without ceasing. Over the air we are told of deeds of gallantry, which entail such suffering that simply to hear of them, is to shudder. Right here in town we suffer assault by the rocket bombs day and night without ceasing. Our absurd "rulers" daily devise plans for the future of our society, which if put into effect, will destroy the liberty of the ordinary free individual; we shall be planned into a very convenient servile state; and this I wouldn't think about because it makes me angry; I feel that even when the war is over life isn't going to be worth living. So I deliberately distract myself with thoughts and interests, which have nothing whatever to do with the war, and the present hour. Luckily I am practiced in living from my own vitals. More than most women I have had to live from my own roots.
February 21, 1945
At eight-thirty five p.m., a most terrific explosion occurred. The back door burst in, the fire was blown into the room, the house shook sickeningly. We thought we had received a direct hit. We hadn't, but this was the nearest "fall" to us, which we have had yet. Ten minutes later a second bomb fell, but not quite so close. Ted laid his head down on the table and prayed. I couldn't pray. I'm beyond that. Personal gods have ceased to be for me. Soon after nine o'clock Artie telephoned. He wanted to know if we were all right. He said the explosion had blown all their windows out, and in all the houses round about, and the street was full of people, looking for damage. He said he thought the thing had fallen in our direction, between his house and ours, and he was anxious to know if we were safe.
For the rest of the evening I sat and trembled, and I had trouble not to break out into weeping. I felt deathly sick. I was afraid to go to bed, but no more bombs fell, except one after we were abed, about eleven-thirty p.m. This one also was very close, but not quite so devastatingly near.
I have not heard yet exactly where the bomb did fall, last night on the nine o-clock news we were told that yesterday the Americans made a big raid over Germany. They attacked Nuremberg for the third time, and at noon nine hundred Flying Fortresses accompanied seven hundred fighters, dropped on the city eleven thousand high explosives, and three hundred thousand incendiaries. They also bombed Vienna and Trieste yesterday. It is no wonder the Germans sends their V2's against us. War, insane, devilish, war. It fills me with fury. Fury at the stupidity of man. This loathsome crazy world, how I hate it!
This evening I have written to Eddie. When Death comes so close, it is Eddie I think of.
February 22, 1945
The death roll in Fairholme Avenue has now risen to thirteen. Maureen Garven was here this afternoon and told me that nineteen people were killed in Harold Wood last week, and were all buried together today. So it goes, death and destruction without ceasing. There were A few bombs falling today, but not too near.
February 27, 1945
Mr. Churchill made a statement in Parliament about the Yalta Conference, and emphatically defended the arrangements made for Poland. There is to be a three-day debate on all of this.

Charles Bradley, "Victim of Love" (Dunham)
Charles Bradley is preoccupied with love on his latest album, but it's something of a stylistic leap on a handful of songs that makes his latest album stand out.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Beck Hansen wants you to think about the way music has changed over the last century and what that means about how human beings engage each other these days.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Cee Lo Green's about to shake up the NFL.
Green is taking over the NFL Network's "Thursday Night Football" intro, and in typical fashion for the flamboyant rapper-singer he's putting his own spin on things.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Credit Beck with shaping the sound of Dwight Yoakam's new album.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - As a group, Rascal Flatts sold millions of albums, scored a string of hits and stood at the top of country music. But the truth was Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney weren't much of a team.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Young male country music stars are as rare as pink pickups these days.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Garth Brooks' induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame caps one of the most astounding and important music careers in American history. At 50, though, Brooks isn't done yet.

Three-Cheese Spread
Menacing Meatball Eyes

The eyes have it with these ghoulish appetizers, a simple idea with carrot "pupils" inside herb-flecked mini-mozzarella balls.
The marinade ingredients can be mixed in a 1-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag instead of a bowl. Add stuffed cheese balls to the marinade mixture.
For extra convenience, look for jars of chopped garlic in the produce department.

There are many independent characteristics required to be fulfilled for any planet to host advanced carbon-based life. Two popular books have recently been written, The Privileged Planet by Guillermo Gonzalez and Rare Earth by Donald Brownlee, indicating the earth is extremely unique in its ability to host advanced life in this universe. Privileged Planet, which also holds any life supporting world will also be found to be situated so as to allow profound discoveries into the deep mysteries of the universe, has now been made into a video. The Privileged Planet - video http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5488284265590289530 Probability For Life On Earth - Michael Strauss - video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zfOaXQh2SE There is also a well researched statistical analysis of the many independent "life-enabling characteristics" that mathematically proves the earth is extremely unique in its ability to support complex life. The statistical analysis, which is actually a refinement of the Drake equation, is dealt with by astro-physicist Dr. Hugh Ross (1945-present) in his paper "Probability for Life on Earth".

Samuel Adams Triple Bock
RATINGS: 1076 WEIGHTED AVG: 2.81/5 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 540 ABV: 18%
Triple Bock is complex, elegant, and has the depth and complexity of a fine cognac, vintage port or an old sherry. Non-carbonated, ruby-black, and very special, Triple Bock should be sipped from a small snifter in a two-ounce serving. This is a beer to savor, and sip slowly. Triple Bock has a brandy-like warmth and a complex melange of fruity, woody, and toffee-like flavors. Let the aroma fill your mouth and nose with rich malt and fruit overtones. Savor and appreciate its enormous character. Serve Triple Bock as you would a fine sherry, at room temperature, in a small snifter. One bottle generously serves two or three. Recork and store standing up. Once poured into a small glass, the layers of aroma and flavor will continue to evolve as the deep ruby brew warms in the hand.
There have been only three vintages produced: 1994, 1995 and 1997, but bottles can still be found in the marketplace. 1994 and 1995 vintages are marked as such on the back label; 1997 vintage is not.

So much has been written about the medical reserve officer and his activities in the great war that anything more said may seem to be mere repetition and superfluous. What I shall say will not deal with the scientific aspect of his connection with the army or with the methods of treatment of wounds or diseases incident to military life. I wish to speak in a broad way of the medical reserve officer himself—what he did for the army and what the army did for him. Whatever may be said of a critical nature is brought out merely in the hope that in the reorganization of the Medical Reserve Corps, cognizance may be taken of the errors made in the past with the hope that these may be avoided in the future.
While it is true that services of tremendous value to the soldier were rendered by the medical reserve

1993 Chevrolet Cavalier Sedan VL 4dr Sedan
i bought this car new in 1993. the odometer is showing 293,000 miles. thats right 293,000 miles. it has the original engine and transmission. the clutch assembly is factory. it has achieved 40 mpg on the highway. i have changed the oil at regular times and it has only left me stranded once(fuel pump went out). aside from tires, belts, hoses, shocks, brakes, shifter cable, and alternators, being replaced, it has never had the valves adjusted. i dont know if it has a timing chain, if it does i have never had to replace it. my goal is to replace it at 300k, but i dont think i will. it gets 30mpg in the city if driven the speed limit. the insurance is $240 a year, best car ive ever owned.
I must say in the years that I have had my 1993 Chevy Cavalier that I have only replaced a head gasket and solinodes, radiator in the last 10 years. The car is great for the money. I am planning on buying another Cavalier
Power locks and comfort plus fuel = good car
Maybe more added dash features for that year would have been great. Cruise control but other then that great car

Last week, KUSA's Adam Schrager bid farewell to Colorado and Channel 9, where he has been a reporter since 1999. He will be missed.
Adam, a graduate of the University of Michigan and the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, has been in the business almost 20 years, winning the recognition of his peers with almost a dozen Emmy Awards.
Deep winter is rather a quiet time in the out of doors in this area. Black or near black seems to be the predominant color. Even the endless forest seems to be more black than green against the white of winter snow.
The bitter cold of early February brought a stark black-and-white panorama as cold and sterile as an operating room. However, color is present in small amounts, and the first warms days of March bring forth to welcome spring. The buds and bark of deciduous tree twigs are often quite brilliant and announce the coming of spring long before it finally arrives.
Man assists cat stuck in tree
Jeffco Commissioner Kevin McCasky proposed an increase of $20,000 in the county's contribution to the Jefferson Economic Council last year while he was a candidate for the private economic development organization's top job, the Columbine Courier has learned.
Konnor Propst and Andre Lane scored 17 points each, but it wasn't enough as Green Mountain bounced the Cougars from the championship bracket of the 4A Jeffco League tournament, 50-49, in overtime on Feb. 14.
Trevor Van Tassel scored 14 points and Ryan Stephan added 13 for the Rams, who rallied from 17 points down at halftime to reach the semifinals.
Evergreen dropped to 10-11 with the defeat.
Usually students go to the planetarium, but recently the planetarium came to the students.
The Denver Museum of Nature & Science's mobile planetarium visited Wilmot Elementary School on Feb. 3 and 4 so students could learn about constellations and planets in their own gym. The big black planetarium, which looked more like an unusually shaped bouncy house, could seat 30 students. It's 18 feet high and 30 feet in diameter, and a computer and a projection screen were all it took to turn the black walls into the solar system.
The layups weren't falling. Neither were the free throws. It must've been a Monday game. But as Evergreen head coach Ali Meyers said, at least her team played defense.
That was the Lady Cougars' saving grace in a 38-30 home win over Green Mountain in the quarterfinals of the 4A Jeffco League tournament on Feb. 14.
"Thank God we played defense. We played defense really, really well," Meyers said.
LOVELAND — Lexie Malazdrewicz, although she felt pretty good, was a little tired. But you couldn't tell that on Feb. 12 at the Mountain View Aquatics Center.
ELIZABETH — The excited look of a first-time state qualifier is hard to forget. Evergreen's Jake Kay had that look.
After a shoulder injury sidelined Kay for the last part of his freshman year, the sophomore was determined to make a run at state and trounced his 103-pound bracket at the 4A Region 1 wrestling tournament on Feb. 11-12 at Elizabeth High School to head to state in style.
National Signing Day was Feb. 2, but inclement weather delayed Evergreen High School from holding its signing ceremony until Feb. 9. But it couldn't keep four student-athletes from making their future a reality. The following is a list of those four student-athletes and why they chose the school that they did. Stephen Swofford contributed to this report.

Milwaukee Rep makes spirit of 'Christmas Carol' burn bright
In the cast biography he wrote for the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's 38th edition of "A Christmas Carol,"Jim Pickering catalogs the numerous roles he has played in his 26 Rep "Carols," before naming each of the adapters as well as set and costume designers who made them possible.
It's a beautifully rendered tribute that also channels the core message in what Pickering rightly calls "the greatest secular fable of human redemption ever written": our ability to change and grow, playing many roles and living multiple lives, if we can but open our hearts to the love and dedication of those many people challenging us to be our best selves. »Read Full Article

The holiday season is upon us, and if you are anything like me, you've got a long list of people you'd like to remember this year! I'm a firm believer that it is the thought that counts, and I also love the idea of giving something homemade and edible instead of just more STUFF! (Because […]Pin It
Easy Roasted Sweet Potatoes
With Thanksgiving just a week away, we are busy trying to figure out exactly what we are going to eat this year. Our go-to staples–my Best Ever No-Fuss Mashed Potatoes, Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts, 5-Ingredient Pumpkin Pie, & Oh-So-Easy Caramel Apple Pie–have already made the list, but this year I thought I might try something a little […]Pin It
Creamed Kale & Spinach Casserole
After four years of trying, I feel like I'm only just beginning to figure out this whole gardening thing. If you've been following my progress on Instagram, (hashtag #SoukupGarden), you've already seen that this year's vegetable garden was by far our most successful! The kale did especially well, which gave me fresh incentive to try a brand new […]Pin It
Deviled Eggs with Bacon
My husband is not really a recipe guy, but there are a few things that he makes better than anyone else on the planet. The first is omelets. The second is grilled cheese sandwiches. And the third is deviled eggs. He says the secret is in their simplicity–less is more (especially when it comes to […]Pin It
Simple Cranberry Chicken
It is my sincere belief that you can never have too many foolproof chicken recipes up your sleeve. This flavor-packed simple cranberry chicken is another favorite "cheater" freezer recipe–easy, delicious, practically mess-free, and freezer + crock pot friendly. What more do you need? To make it as part of a freezer cooking day, just split the sauce & […]Pin It
Easy Homemade Gingerbread Bars
I'm not quite sure how to explain how utterly delicious these ridiculously easy gingerbread bars really are. They are like heaven–or Christmas–on a plate! Dense and chewy, sweet but not too sweet, with just the perfect amount of spice. Seriously. Try them. Today. You won't regret it. As an aside, the crystallized ginger sprinkled on […]Pin It

This recipe was great! Had to leave the celery out because I am allergic to the stuff. I recommend using corn oil for the vegetable oil ( I am allergic to soy as well so soybean oil is contraband in my household). Corn oil seems to add flavor, to me anyways.
I made this recipe for my in-laws who are from Louisiana & they absolutely loved them. I did a few things different such as I didn't fry them I used a pre made refrigerated pie crust & baked them. I also used 3/4 tsp of cayenne pepper instead of the 1/4 tsp and I also let everything just cook down alot longer than the recipe called for. Over all this is the best one so far & give it a A ! Enjoy we did!!!
I am in the process of making this right now!! I too added additional cayenne pepper and salt. I also added about 1/4 tsp beef base mixed in 1/4 cup water and it settled in very nicely! If I can stop eating the beef mixture, maybe my husband will be able to try it! I did not add the flour because we aren't much of "gravy" people. My husband grew up in Trinidad and Tobago and seems to prefer drier meats. Thanks!

Sergei Sokolov, 101, the Soviet defense minister fired by the Politburo after a German teenager landed his plane on Moscow's Red Square in the 1980s, died in Moscow on Friday.
Russian media reported Mr. Sokolov's death without specifying the cause. Russian television reported that his wife of 70 years, Mariya, died Wednesday and that the two will be buried together.
Mr. Sokolov was dismissed days after 19-year-old Mathias Rust landed his Cessna light aircraft in the square in May 1987. Although Soviet radars and interceptors tracked the flight from Finland, air forces took no action. Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev fired Mr. Sokolov along with dozens of other defense officials.

I really like this, and it's easy. I have done the basic mix. I tweaked it a bit, with some garlic and onion salt. I also added some cheese crackers and bagel bits. It's really versitile. There's just one thing,---my coworkers hoover it down, get addicted, and expect it of me now!! (I don't really mind!!) Marianna U. Kretschmer
Dib's Thank you for a fast and simple but delectable recipe. We buy this in the bags from the store regularly. I decided to buy the cereal and try it on my own. I LOVED making it. The house smelled great ( I kept sneaking some from the oven) and it turned out great! I am practicing now so I can make "goodie bags" for the maintenance and office staff. This WILL be an addition to the candy and cookies I am making. I did add some garlic powder(1 TBSP) and no salt seasoning( 1 TBSP, stirred it in, after the first taste to give it a bit more zing. I will be making this regularly. It is gong into my FAVE cookbook. edited to add: the staff LOVED this. You got high 5's from all. I am making it again thsi evening as I type so there is dome for our holiday buffet table. Thank you again!
This stuff is great! I have tried making a few other chex mixes at home, but the con queso that I made is the best! The others just didn't have enough seasoning on them. I added a bit more regular taco seasoning to mine and used a chipotle taco mix. It didn't come out hot at all and is delish! I'm going to make this in double batches from now on and a lot more often. Thanks.

Since June I've had 2 Nintendo Wii systems and I was wondering if this was a common occurence in all systems:
1. Both Wii's have left streaks on the discs after taking them out of the system. Has anyone else had this happen? It was really bad when I first got both systems, but it's not as bad as before.
2. My current Wii will on occasion make a clicking sound when a disc is in and comes up with an error message asking me to remove the disc and turn off the console. Has anyone else had this happen and if so should I return this system as well?
I bought the EB Games extended warranty so I'm cool as far as getting a new system if needed, but I just thought I'd ask around before I have to lug ANOTHER system back to the store.
If someone could shed some light on my concerns it would be appreciated.

Review: Case-Mate for Nokia N8
Another week, another Nokia N8 case to review. You may remember my original roundup some time ago and then my CC-1005 and FlexiShield reviews? Now comes another hard case, designed to add as little bulk as possible to the N8. It succeeds on many fronts but has a flaw that's silly in the extreme.

Pinkie Pie since I have so many random moments. Ahh ya never thought of that since in slayer I do good. At moment my kills to death from looking at my service record is like 400 point differnce. Aslo 20 percent of games I quit are mostly on exile cant stand that map
Hell yeah, bro. My friend that got me into MLP is always saying that Pinkie Pie is nothing compared to Fluttershy but I'm always tellin' him that he's trippin'. IMO, Pinkie Pie's complete random-ness & near-constant happiness is what makes her so f***ing cool! I'm actually listening to Smile, Smile, Smile right now! ^_^
And on-topic: yeah, your service record may have a 400 point difference but think of how much better it could be if you used either the BR, DMR, Carbine, or Light Rifle. For starters, you'd be able to cross-map people & get kills from distances you'd never be able to with the AR, Storm Rifle, or Suppressor. And you'd be more useful to your team-mates by cleaning up kills easier & having a quicker time-to-kill rating.

Ignore these jerks that just hate and don't even try to offer anything positive to help.
I'd say you are about average but if you stopped playing with randoms and focused on killing with a precision weapon instead of an AR. You'd become even better.
I know I am no pro and I don't claim to be good. But once I started playing with my friends and just used the BR(this was in Halo 2) I started to pull out better stats.
You look pretty good, much better than most of the people on my friends list.

Apparel spending down in 1997
April 27, 1999
Consumer expenditures on apparel decreased 1.3 percent in 1997, following a 2.8-percent increase in 1996 and a 3.6-percent rise in 1995. Consumer units spent an average of $1,729 on clothing and related products in 1997, about the same as the amount spent on entertainment and on health care.
[Chart data—TXT]
In 1997, decreases in spending on apparel for children under 2 years of age (down 6 percent), women and girls (down 5 percent), and men and boys (down 4 percent) offset increases in expenditures on other apparel products and services (up 9 percent) and footwear (up 5 percent). Other apparel products and services includes items such as watches, jewelry, shoe repair, and dry cleaning.
Consumer units with only a husband and wife spent $1,801, compared with $2,550 for consumer units where the husband and wife had children. Among the latter group, the highest annual average expenditures on apparel were for units where the oldest child was between the ages of 6 and 17.
These data are a product of the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey. Additional information is available from "Consumer Expenditures in 1997", Report 927.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, Apparel spending down in 1997 on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/1999/apr/wk4/art02.htm (visited September 29, 2016).

Are You Part of the Email Problem?
Big Idea: Social Business
- Interview
- Read Time: 11 min
Over-reliance on email as a communication tool is sapping people of their time and energy. Author, speaker and consultant Phil Simon says there are better ways — and many new and better tools — to do things. "As consumers, it's never been easier. Hundreds of millions of us use Dropbox, Facebook, Snapchat, texting, Skype, and other tools to communicate with each other," says Simon. "Why do we resist change at work?" Embracing new tools, he argues, will result in better communication and far less wasted time.

8 Things to Consider When Buying a Paddle
How do I know which length suits me best? If you hold the paddle straight up and down on the floor next to you the blade on the floor should be touching the ground and the top blade should be about six inches above your head from the bottom of the top blade.
Growth of the Team
Back in early 2005, when brothers Peter and Steve Messana purchased Austin Canoe & Kayak, the company totaled one small shop in North Austin. After the purchase was completed, one store employee stayed on to help Peter and Steve, and they were also helped by a part-time worker when school was out in the summer.
Houston Fire
In March of 2012, ACK was thriving. Stores in Austin, San Marcos and Houston were outfitting more customers than ever before and ACK.com was turning out orders at a rate far beyond expectations. Everything was going the company's way. Until the night of March 11, 2012.
The Birth of ACK – An Interview with Steve Messana
I recently sat down with ACK President & Co-Owner Steve Messanna to talk about the development of Austin Canoe and Kayak, his passion for the outdoors, and the path less traveled that brought him to collaborating with his brother on their biggest project yet as they prepare to celebrate ten years at ACK.
Family Friendly Kayaking
"As children observe, reflect, record, and share nature's patterns and rhythms, they are participating in a process that promotes scientific and ecological awareness, problem solving, and creativity." Unless you frequently participate in class five white water excursions or seek out adventures of strictly perilous domains, you've been able to imagine your kids joining in on your outdoor voyages.
Foul Weather Fan
We were grateful for the rain. It has been very dry since Christmas. Raindrops bounced off the windshield in big thuds before the wipers could push them away. We were driving down a winding road to the lake after leaving the highway.
The Kayak Adventure You've Been Missing Out On
Full Moon paddle sessions are lesser known excursions for those interested in taking their kayak experience to the next level. Historically, doing much of anything under the glow of a full moon has had mystic connotations associated to it.
ACK Demo Days 2015!
What, you know, Demo Days! Whether you're a novice or expert, Demo Days is a great event for any paddler to attend. It's absolutely free and an opportunity to try out 80+ models, talk with representatives from top brands in the industry, and save up to 30% on select kayaks. This is our favorite event to put on every year and it's always a ton of fun – we hope to see you out there! Demo Days is only a couple months out and we want to make sure that you mark your calendars for the event nearest to you! We make it a fun educational experience for the whole family.
The Road Less Traveled by ACK's Social Media Coordinator
Growing up In Chicago had always made me feel homesick for a place I hadn't yet been. My parents, being fond travelers, were dedicated to making adventure time a priority, even after my brother and I were born.

Remington Park: Shirley Elizabeth a short-priced favorite
Shirley Elizabeth will be a very short-priced favorite to capture the first of two $50,000 divisions of the Oklahoma Stallion Stakes being held Friday night at Remington Park. He runs in the night's second race, which is for 2-year-olds at six furlongs. Shirley Elizabeth will face four other colts and geldings, including three maidens, off a runner-up finish in the Oklahoma Classics Juvenile. He is adding blinkers, which is a high-percentage move for trainer Karl Broberg.
Shirley Elizabeth has shown speed in his races, including a maiden win over open company, and is a candidate to control the pace under regular rider Glen Murphy. The horse races for End Zone Athletics.
In the Oklahoma Stallion division for 2-year-old fillies that also is run over six furlongs, Black Ocean figures to go favored as one of just two winners in the eight-horse field. Black Ocean was sixth in a $50,000 optional claimer against open company Nov. 14, but before that won a maiden special weight for Oklahoma-breds on Sept. 6. Alex Birzer has the mount for Poindexter Thoroughbreds and trainer Lynn Chleborad.
The chief threat appears to be Really Okie, the runner-up in a maiden special weight for statebreds last out who will be making her second start on Lasix.
