Militias worry me. No rules, no guidelines, no punishments. The Israelis used an undisciplined mob called the South Lebanon Army. The Americans used their infamous Awakening groups to murder al-Qaeda members in Iraq who were themselves killing American soldiers. The Hezbollah is Iran's militia in Lebanon – and now in Syria.
So I was intrigued to visit Syria's National Defence Forces (NDF) in Qamishli, far to the north-east of the country, which includes – like the newly formed anti-Isis Dwekh Nawsha (Self-Sacrifice) group in the Iraqi village of Bakufa – Christians as well as Muslims. Do not have any illusions. This is a government-sponsored organisation whose flag depicts a fist in Syria's national colours. It has around 900 members – and its mission is perfectly clear.
Syria's army cannot control the country. It can recapture territory from Isis or other Islamist groups, but it cannot hold all the ground it takes. Hence the existence of the NDF. They must sit tight on the territory the army takes. In the Alawite mountains, its enemies call them the Shabiha, but after a series of massacres in the early years of the Syrian war, they have been brought under central control. Its commander in Qamishli is an army major. Abu Dari, a tribal leader, founded the first units of the NDF in Qamishli. "At first, it was all a tribal army," the major says. "Little by little, we managed to dissolve the tribal defences. So now the tribes no longer have groups of their own. We benefited from the tribal feelings, but now we have formed a multi-tribal force. We have men from different tribes all together, some of them from the countryside round Damascus from which they had to flee. They are for security and intelligence-gathering. Each time we gain a village, we organise them to go there."

Demonstrators chant slogans as they carry al-Qa'ida flags in front of the provincial government headquarters in Mosul, 225 miles (360 kilometers) northwest of Baghdad. In the week since it captured Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul, a Muslim extremist group has tried to win over residents and has stopped short of widely enforcing its strict brand of Islamic law, residents say. Churches remain unharmed and street cleaners are back at work
All this sounds a bit like the B Specials in Northern Ireland, lads who know the land – and who, in that glorious province, could tell a Catholic from a Protestant (which was their purpose) – and know the people. In Qamishli, however, there are Muslims and Syriac Christians and even a few Armenians serving in the force. More interestingly, one 200-strong unit of this militia is all Christian and calls itself Sotoro which, in the Syriac language, means "Protect". Its symbol is an eagle's head.
So I padded down town to visit these men. Khaldun Hanno – a Syriac himself – obviously joined Sotoro to encourage his fellow Christians not to leave their homes. "Christians have left here in such numbers because they have the ability to leave and they got facilities to go to Sweden," Hanno said. "We decided from the beginning that we wanted to defend our country and our homeland. This is our land. Sweden is not our land. We operate only within the city. So unlike our colleagues we have so far not sustained any casualties." The men I met included a civil servant, an electrician and a sales rep. Hanno has two brothers, one in the army, another runs a pizzeria. So far so good.
But outside the town, the NDF, since they were set up in January of 2013, have suffered 50 deaths, some men taken from their tribal villages and executed in the night by Islamist groups. Ahmed Sulieman Abdul-Aziz, for example, was taken from Jilbarat village where he lived with his wife and six children, and beheaded elsewhere in the neighbourhood.
"We've had three captured and slaughtered on 3 May this year," the major said. "The killers videotaped their beheading and we all watched the tape." Silence now. This is pretty hideous stuff. After some executions, the Islamists, I'm told, don't immediately release the videos to the world. They send them first to the wives and parents of the murdered man.
"Cruelty is not restricted to Isis," another militiaman says. "Isis is just the new face of cruelty. Because we work very closely with the army and can give the army first-hand information on the villages, the armed groups hate us a lot. On more than one occasion, we've rescued our own fighters." And, like the army, the NDF are not known to take prisoners. I asked Hanno when the Syrian war would end. "We hope soon, but we are thinking that we will have to fight for far longer. Time is a wheel and it turns again and again."
And as the wheel turns, strange phenomena emerge. Soldiers and militiamen acquire nicknames. First Lieutenant Allah Hassan of the Syrian parachute regiment south of Qamishli, for example, is called "the King of Terror for Isis". His colleagues even let the locals know when he returns from leave so that Isis will know he's back. I couldn't find out how this name was acquired, but I have my suspicions. And in the Islamist ranks, women have made their appearance. Moroccan women, army officers, the NDF says, have turned up to guard one of the Islamist crossing points into Turkey. Two Islamist women were found dead with Ukrainian passports. How many more secrets will we discover in this terrible war? And how many more will never be disclosed?
The four-star hotel? Well it's halfway there
And so to a gloomy street in Qamishli town where the brash neon sign of the "Merry Land Hotel" greets every guest. More Bates Motel, I suspected, than anything to do with good cheer. True, it was renovated in the good old days – it even boasts a pool and a wedding room – and the owner is a real gentleman; this is meant in the best sense of the word. But the walls are damp. My bedroom door handle was missing. The loo didn't flush and the shower was cold. That's war for you. I liked my driver's assessment when we arrived.
"This is a four-star hotel," he said. "But one day, two of the stars flew away."Reuse content

I haven't written much about stock markets recently, mainly because I don't think much has fundamentally changed for some time now. The underlying problem that has spooked markets this week isn't new, it's been around for at least a couple of years...
Many countries have been spending far more than they're earning, borrowing money (usually by issuing government bonds, e.g. gilts) to cover the shortfall. This is fine if the country concerned can afford the interest payments, it's no different to buying a new TV on your credit card with a view to paying it off over a few months (or years in the case of governments).
Problems start when the interest payments (and/or repaying existing loans that become due) rise to the point a country needs to borrow more money to help pay them - it can create a vicious circle. This needn't be a catastrophe shorter term provided the country can continue to borrow money at reasonable rates, with a view to paying down debt as fortunes improve. But when lenders (typically banks and large investment funds who buy government bonds) fear a country might struggle to pay the interest and/or the money lent, they'll demand a higher interest rate on new bonds to compensate for the added risk, which might push the affected country to breaking point - prompting the EU/IMF or similar to step in with a bailout package (usually an expensive loan) - Greece being a prime example.
Bailouts can work, but if things are severe then the country concerned might still struggle to make ends meet and eventually have to 'default' on its debt - that means not meeting interest payments and/or not repaying money owed to bondholders - similar to going bankrupt. This is bad news for bondholders (e.g. banks) as they'll almost certainly lose some, if not all of their money, causing ripples (or tidal waves) around the global financial system.
If a country is to reduce borrowing to a sensible level it needs to start earning more than it spends, paying down debt with the 'profit'. This means earning more money (i.e. growing its economy/raising taxes) and/or cutting spending - trouble is the two seldom go hand in hand. For example, the UK is trying to grow its economy but spending cuts and tax rises appear to be thwarting the process - it's like trying to swim against the tide.
The table below gives an idea of where things currently stand for a few topical countries:
GDP effectively represents a country's annual income, so a high debt/GDP ratio is usually a bad thing. But what really matters is the cost of borrowing. Japan's debt is a colossal 2.26 times higher than its annual income, but as debt interest (shown by debt yield) is low at 1% it's affordable debt. Contrast this to Greece where debt is 1.44 times higher than GDP but debt interest is a whopping 15.4%.
In several ways. If a country defaults on its debt then banks around the world (who own that debt) are likely to suffer, pushing down their share price. So when fears over defaults rise then bank share prices fall in anticipation of the worst. Debt problems also spark fears that austerity measures will cause consumers to spend less money and reduce energy consumption, pushing down oil prices (hence oil company share prices) and hurting the outlook for many consumer and service industries.
It can also cause currencies to shift relative to each other which often affects foreign investor appetitive, which may further depress some markets.
Plus, the turmoil causes some investors to panic and sell, further pushing down prices as they dump stocks.
We've seen markets fall at times over the last couple of years due to concerns over debts, but nothing like this last week. The catalyst seems to have been a combination of warnings over eurozone debt levels, the US struggling to agree a debt package that would stave off default, weak economic data and (maybe) lower volumes of trades having a bigger impact on markets during holiday seasons.
Nevertheless, I still can't fathom why markets haven't reacted sooner (or, putting it another way, why they'd risen quite a lot over the last year). The underlying problems have been around for at least a couple of years and seem pretty obvious. Maybe markets have simply woken up to the harsh reality of what a mess many global economies are in?
I suppose we should factor in some companies doing extraordinarily well, thanks to cost cutting/efficiency/innovative products/commodity prices/luck, but this doesn't really explain the extent that markets had risen prior to last week.
In a worst case scenario lots of countries will go bust and in a best case scenario a combination of economic growth and austerity measures will help get everyone's finances back on track. In practice we'll probably see a few defaults and lots of struggles to balance the books, but most developed countries will likely get back to some sort of financial normality over the next 5-10 years.
It might be that stock markets have over-reacted and bounce back a bit next week, but I wouldn't be surprised if they remain volatile and generally in the doldrums for as long as the uncertainties over government debts and the possibility of defaults persist.
However, I'd avoid panic selling. While the outlook is hardly encouraging, I doubt this week's slide will continue with such severity, hopefully giving you time to re-assess your investments and ensure you're not taking excessive risk. The key thing is to ensure a sensible balance and avoid too much exposure to any one area unless you're comfortable with high volatility and happy to ride out the storm, however long it may last.

Stock markets have fallen again today on the unexpected news that US government bonds have been downgraded from AAA to AA+ by ratings agency S&P. In itself this doeasn't mean that much, AA+ is still petrceived as very safe, but the simple fact the US has been downgraded is a negative signal that appears to have further worried investors, prompting more selling hence market falls.

"Nevertheless, I still can't fathom why markets haven't reacted sooner (or, putting it another way, why they'd risen quite a lot over the last year). The underlying problems have been around for at least a couple of years and seem pretty obvious."I've been investing in the stock market over the last couple of years and so, in my own small way, have helped to push it higher. But the alternatives seem to be slowly losing the real value of cash due to unrealistically low interest rates, or risk losing a substantial chunk quickly if/when the property market drops.So the stock market seems the least worst option, and if there are a few dips along the way then I can buy shares 10-20% cheaper than I could do a few weeks ago, which doesn't seem like a bad thing...

Acrylics are all about vocals. The duo, Molly Shea and Jason Klauber, write and sing the songs, with the help of "contributing musicians" (though it's unclear who plays what instrument). On their debut album, Lives and Treasure, the two split vocal duties, while lending backups here and there. The difference between their voices (beyond the obvious male/female distinction) sometimes also translates to a difference in song style, leading you to believe they each write the songs they sing. If there is a division of labor between the two, the general rule of thumb is that Klauber covers the folkier, guitar based songs and Shea, the bigger sounding pop songs. However, Acrylics still have a unifying sound, or at least a unifying aesthetic.
This aesthetic could be summed up with the word, "crystal". Lives and Treasure has crystal production. Everything is so clean, it runs the risk of sounding antiseptic. This borderline sound places Acrylics in the tradition of '80s pop, not the goth or synth kind, but the mainstream stuff. Pop in the '80s was characterized by (over) production. But Acrylics make the well produced sound minimal. The rippling guitar chord and bounding bass that starts off "Molly's Vertigo", one of the catchiest songs on the album, calls to mind "White Wedding", except without any of Billy Idol's menace. In the direction of '80s overindulgence, "The Sparrow Song", with its offbeat tom struck every other measure, makes one think of Phil Collins' more soulless fare. Almost.
Acrylics are good songwriters and they manage to nod in the direction of their predecessors while avoiding sounding derivative. The references are always partial, the kind that make you instantly like a song: like the end line of the chorus in "The Window" which almost sounds like "Eleanor Rigby", or the disco beat and continuous bass of the title track that incorporates a part of Blondie's "Heart of Glass". While the cleanliness of the production gives this an '80s studio feel, Acrylics mix their genres well, with little country slide leads, nods to synth pop, and so on. "Nightwatch", the album's first single, sounds like it came right off a '90s adult contemporary album. The song is just about ready to make it onto a TV show, with a chorus reminiscent of the Cranberries. Then this cool twisty guitar part shows up out of nowhere, sounding like George Harrison, and this saves the song by giving it a bit more soul.
Despite the preeminence of vocals, the bass might be the most interesting instrument on the album. It quietly keeps the songs bouncing along, (think '80s blue-eyed R&B). But overall, the instrumentation on the album is pretty spare: a well-placed guitar strum, synth whine, the barest of drums and percussion. It's a delicately constructed crystal, a real studio album. You can imagine each player in isolation, not playing together, but laying that little lick cautiously over the previous level. Not to say this album is minimalist. It sounds nothing like, say, Beach House, though it strikes out a similar swath of pop sensibility.
The main reservation to this album is that there is something so tiny and twee about it. The feeling is restrained, you can hear it in Klauber's vocals that tremble and rasp. Shea can let loose sometimes, but it never feels like she's belting it. You want them to just go for it rather than stay in the tightly constructed, perfectly fit, sparely yet masterfully decorated house they've built. The overwhelming sense is like a curling up: they've created a soundscape for early morning bed time when you think you're really innocent and the sun streams in through the window and you might still be a child.
And there it is: there's no sex. The closest they come to being sexy is on the title track. Shea chants Madonna-like "hearts, clubs, diamonds, spades" over a softly wailing guitar and the chorus has a disco beat complete with eighth-note bass and cleanly chugging guitars à la Blondie's "Heart of Glass". This kind of excess suits the band well even though it edges on cheese. Clarity threatens to become sterility. Sure, they have an ear for melody and even production, but who is playing this? Are they even interesting? If they more often took the step from cute to sexy, Acrylics would deliver a lusher and brasher brand of pop.

The Doctor's Orders Presents
Oddisee & Good Compny
Beneath the Surface Tour
Featuring Oliver St. Louis
7pm Saturday 11th March 2017
@ Islington Assembly Hall
Upper St, London N1 2UD
Advance Tickets £17.50
The son of Sudanese and American parents, Amir Mohamed was born and raised in the United States capital city of Washington DC, spending hot summers in Khartoum learning Arabic and swimming in the Nile. Growing up amidst the sounds of New York hip hop, his father playing Oud, Go-Go, and gospel, Amir took his first steps as an MC producer in the analog basement studio of his legendary neighbor, Garry Shider (Parliament Funkadelic).
Convincing his entrepreneurial father that he too had business acumen, Amir laid the check from his first commercial release on the kitchen table before his 21st birthday and never looked back. Though Oddisee has gone on to perform with The Roots, produce for Freeway, Jazzy Jeff, Little Brother, De La Soul & Nikki Jean, and has MC'd on production from Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke and Kev Brown, his proudest moment was the birth of his critically acclaimed group Diamond District with fellow Washingtonians X.O. and yU.
For this very special event Oddisee returns to London, performing at the amazing Islington Assembly Hall with the Good Compny band. This is guaranteed to be one of the finest Hip Hop nights of the year.

I attended TurnToTech's iOS bootcamp and had a great experience and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an iOS bootcamp.
To start the story, I was really only interested in learning iOS development so after doing some research, it seemed that there were only 2 good options in the city. My interview experience with both schools could NOT have been MORE DIFFERENT. The other school had a very formal online application process and it took a while before I was able to speak to someone. They were very stiff and corporate and they seemed more interested in selling me their class than explaining how the program worked or introducing me to instructors or alumni.
When I first reached out to TurnToTech, I was immediately able to speak to a human being! He spoke to me for about ...Read more

I so completely disagree with this other reviewer that I thought I should share my own views. That kind of reads like an ad for the other bootcamp. I'll speak about three things
Their instructors are great. Of the different things you need to consider when looking at a bootcamp, instructors should be first in your list. Talk to turn to tech's instructors and discover for yourself. I found them extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with.
The curriculum is really well designed and in-depth. I can say that with confidence because their projects are quite closely related to things I do at my job. (I find it laughable that the guy in the review thinks the curriculum was put together quickly. My guess is that he never actually saw it) Their curriculum is super fine-tuned and in dep...Read more

I was in TurnToTech for a month before moving to Flatiron School's iOS immersive. The difference is night and day.
Knowledgable teachers
Flexible work hours
Friendly environment
Self taught curriculum
No pairings/group projects
Not all teachers able to explain concepts clearly
Students can come and leave whenever
TurnToTech is an interesting addition to the mobile bootcamp scene in NYC. There aren't many besides Flatiron School and FS360. TurnToTech is wonderful for the type of student who may have a part time job, or may be less inclined to work with others. They accept virtually any students who express interest in their curriculum, and do not have any sort of technical tests beforehand. These students are accepted on a rolling basis, which means that m...Read more

U.S. regulators want firms like JPMorgan and Bank of America to beef up defenses against hackers, but the banks say they're already taking the threat seriously enough. Trump might agree.

The most recent short interest data has been released for the 01/31/2017 settlement date, and we here at Dividend Channel like to sift through this fresh data and order the underlying components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average by "days to cover." There are a number of ways to look at short data, for example the total number of shares short; but one metric that we find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares typically traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed.

5 questions to ask before buying a recreational property

Money & Career
5 questions to ask before buying a recreational property
How much time will you spend there?
Face it: Owning a recreational property is primarily an emotional decision. Just don't forget to run the numbers, too. "It doesn't really make financial sense to own one unless you plan to be there two to three months a year," says Jason Nicola, a financial adviser at Nicola Wealth Manage-
ment in Vancouver. If you plan to rent out your cottage for a portion of the year, look for a property that's already set up as a rental and has established bookings, suggests Rob Serediuk, an agent with Chestnut Park Real Estate serving Ontario's Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton region.
Has your mortgage been preapproved?
Know ahead of time what an accredited mortgage professional is prepared to lend you and under what circumstances. Many lenders won't approve loans to buy nonwinterized cottages, for instance. If they do, the lender may demand up to 50 percent equity up front and charge a higher interest rate on the mortgage, says Angela Calla, a mortgage broker at Dominion Lending Centres in Vancouver.
Most people fund a cottage by refinancing their principal residence and using the equity built up in that home, plus whatever their financial institution or accredited mortgage professional is willing to lend them. As of May 30, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) stopped offering mortgage insurance on secondary properties, meaning those already holding a CMHC-insured mortgage are no longer able to act as co-borrower on another insured mortgage. A minimum 20 percent down payment is now required for any purchase, Calla says. She notes that private insurers continue to offer these programs to qualified applicants.
Is the property insurable?
Before committing to the purchase, make sure you won't have difficulty getting the place insured. Serediuk likes to have a condition-on-satisfactory-insurance clause written into the purchase offer. "You don't want to buy a cottage and then try to get insurance, only to find out that it will cost you big money to get those two fireplaces you love up to code," he says.
Some insurance companies may increase rates depending on the type of
cottage. A seasonal or water access–only property, for instance, is harder to insure. And you may need additional coverage for detached buildings like a boathouse or shed. In any case, Serediuk suggests getting a quote from local insurance brokers who understand cottage intricacies. "They are used to dealing with recreational properties and can drop your rates considerably," he says.
Can you cover the extra costs?
Like primary residences, you'll need to factor in property taxes and land transfer fees, as well as maintenance costs. Vacation homes are often located on private-access roads, which means you and other owners will need to fork over funds for snowplowing and other road maintenance. But some owners may not use their cottages year-round and opt out of plowing service. That means big money for the families who do hang in. Serediuk cites an example of a street with nine cottages. Just three families had to split the plowing costs to the tune of $1,500 each. And don't forget other incidentals such as "toys" you might want to buy, from canoes to personal watercraft.
Are you planning to share ownership?
Can't afford a cottage on your own? Splitting costs with family or friends sounds great in theory, but what happens if the roof caves in and the other party doesn't have the money to pay for repairs? "It has to be treated like a business relationship," says Serediuk, who recommends using the services of a real estate lawyer versus a simple written agreement between buyers. "Make sure all expectations are set and you have a binding legal agreement."
Learn how to be eco-friendly at the cottage with these six easy tips.

I am a privileged person in many ways, but one of the ways in that I'm most privileged, I sometimes think, is that I got to lay eyes on Nat Hentoff's office at the Village Voice back when the legendary paper had its offices off Union Square in Manhattan. This was in the early '80s, at a point when Hentoff had produced enough work and wielded enough influence (over thinkers, not politicians or real estate moguls) to have made several careers and spanned several lifetimes. In other words, the one time jazz critic, music impresario, and ever-tireless gadfly in defense of the First Amendment was as legendary at the paper where he wrote a column and kept an office. That office: I'd never seen anything like it before, and I've never seen anything like it since. From floor to ceiling it held what can only be called pillars, stacked, if you can call it that, side by side by side by side, of newspapers and books. You couldn't see the light fixture at the top of the room. The only open space in the office was its small doorway, a few steps past which was a small desk with a typewriter and a lamp on it, and a chair in front of it.
It was unbelievable, not just because it was a fire hazard, not just because it was the sort of scene that inspired a weird "how do you find anything?" awe. It was also a testament to Hentoff's attitude to the printed word. He hoarded it. Crazy love, you can call it.
Sometimes, during David Lewis' engaging documentary about Hentoff, "The Pleasures of Being Out Of Step," when you look behind the now nearly 90-year-old Hentoff as he speaks from his home office—he was laid off from the Voice in 2006, putting arguably the final nail in the coffin of what that publication had once been, and stood for—you can see a version of that mess in miniature, a stray stack or two. But I wish the doc had a picture of that office, man. It would qualify for some kind of special effects Oscar, I promise.
Lewis subtitles his movie "Notes on the Life of Nat Hentoff," and that's wise; at less than 90 minutes in length, there's only so much ground it can cover. The documentary takes a thematic rather than linear chronological approach. Lewis weaves together material on Hentoff's love of jazz and his shoe-leather training as a wordsmith, and tries to make a case that the freedom that's inherent in jazz as a musical form has something to say about the Constitution-guaranteed freedoms Hentoff has spent a good portion of his life articulating and defending. This First Amendment absolutist, an atheist and a Jew, achieved what some might consider a perverse notoriety when he defended the right of the American Nazi Party to stage a parade in Skokie, Illinois. Years later, Hentoff, whom many of his readers had taken for granted was a supporter of all liberal or liberal-related issues, made a lot of enemies by coming out with a stern position against abortion.
One might not think that bouncing back and forth between Jazz Hentoff and First Amendment Hentoff would make for consistently engaging viewing, but the movie is in fact remarkably fluid and never less than compelling. Like many biographical documentaries, it features an array of talking heads, but I can't think of any such pictures featuring such an eclectic array of such figures: poet and rhetorical firebrand Amiri Baraka, constitutional lawyer Floyd Abrams, jazz giant Phil Woods, pioneering feminist journalist Karen Durbin, and many more, including Hentoff's second wife Margot, who seems in many ways as formidable a figure as her spouse. (Full disclosure: while I've never had the pleasure of meeting Hentoff, Karen Durbin is a friend, as is another interviewee here, former record executive Regina Joskow.) The movie is also enlivened by a lot of fantastic archival footage, and again here the range is remarkable. Not many films boost cameos from both William F. Buckley and Thelonious Monk.
his rep as "Always itching for a fight," Hentoff here comes off as pretty mild
mannered, and indeed his equanimity in speaking is cited by more than one
interviewee as almost maddening. He articulates his point of view with great
calm, reflecting on his "betrayals" of liberalism as nothing more than facets
in a lifetime of argument. An argument in which he believes he holds the
correct opinion, of course, but an argument nonetheless. Past accusations of
homophobia and anti-feminism roll off of him like water off a duck's back, but,
as a viewer, I was disappointed that he didn't address them more directly, and
also that Hentoff doesn't reflect at all on the sundered friendships so many
arguments have left in their wake. "Don't get yourself caught up in
categories," Hentoff recalls being told by Duke Ellington. Hentoff followed
this advice while sticking like a barnacle to some very key principles. Even if
you disagree with him, the man who emerges in this portrait is both an
invaluable advocate of the arts and a moral hero. And he also wrote the liner
notes to "Sketches of Spain."

Standing since just after 2. He's not quite tall enough so has to be on tiptoe and rests his scrotum on the toilet for balance. Thank goodness he won 't wee anywhere but home or that would be far too gross even for me.
My 3 year old DS sits, but he is not overly tall so standing really isn't an option (yet).
you can get collapsable stools the fold flat and can fit in most handbags I brought one last week for ds when we go out I havnt yet had to use it though but if I ever do its handy :-)
** Sent from my PP4MT-7 **
And a friend of mine didn't hae the money for one of those target aim thing for the toilet so she drew a smiley face on a ball and out it ijn the toilet took a few days and her loved trying to aim for it that he only ever stood up from then on .. abit unconventional but it worked :-)
** Sent from my PP4MT-7 **
DS is 3 next month. He's been standing to wee since very early on in his TT journey. At home he stands on a footstool and everywhere else he stands on top of my feet which gives him that little bit more height to get over the bowl haha.
Of course he sits to poo.

Full cast announced for Night Must Fall
Niamh McGrady and Will Featherstone will star as Olivia and Dan respectively in the national tour of Emlyn Williams's psychological thriller, Night Must Fall, directed by Luke Sheppard, which runs at Salisbury Playhouse from Tuesday 6 to Saturday 24 September.
They join the previously announced Gwen Taylor as Mrs Bramson and Daragh O'Malley as Inspector Belsize, along with Alasdair Buchan as Hubert, Anne Odeke as Nurse Libby, Mandi Symonds as Mrs Terence and Melissa Vaughan as Dora.
Niamh McGrady is best known for playing the regular characters Mary-Claire Carter in Holby City (BBC) and PC Danielle Ferrington in three series of The Fall (BBC). Her theatre credits include Twelfth Night (Chichester Festival Theatre) and Macbeth (Chichester Festival Theatre, West End and Broadway).
Will Featherstone's theatre credits include Dr. Scroggy's War, Romeo and Juliet, As You Like It and Anne Boleyn for Shakespeare's Globe, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Comedy of Errors for Propeller, and The History Boys for Sheffield Crucible. Screen credits including Fresh Meat (Channel 4), Endeavour (ITV), Ashes to Ashes (BBC) and Midsomer Murders (ITV), as well as the forthcoming feature film A United Kingdom, starring Rosamund Pike and David Oyelowo.
When charming, smooth-talking Dan arrives at old Mrs Bramson's remote woodland home, he soon ingratiates his way into her life and that of her niece, Olivia. But when a local woman goes missing and is later found murdered, Olivia begins to suspect her aunt's new private assistant. She resolves to find out the truth.
Emlyn Williams wrote Night Must Fall in 1935 and played the lead role in the first stage production. The play was noted for its exploration of the killer's complex psychological state, a step forward for its genre. Robert Montgomery starred in the film version in 1937 and Albert Finney in the 1964 re-make.
Night Must Fall was the first production to be performed in the former Garrison Theatre on Fisherton Street in Salisbury, a predecessor of Salisbury Playhouse, starring Emlyn Williams himself.
Night Must Fall will be designed by David Woodhead, with sound and music by Harry Blake (Hedda Gabler and Bike at Salisbury Playhouse) and lighting by Howard Hudson (Hedda Gabler and Cinderella at Salisbury Playhouse).
The national tour is produced by Alastair Whatley and Tom Hackney for The Original Theatre Company and Sebastian Warrack for Salisbury Playhouse, in association with Eastbourne Theatres.
Night Must Fall runs at Salisbury Playhouse from Tuesday 6 to Saturday 24 September and is suitable for those aged 12 years and over. For tickets or more information please contact the Ticket Office on 01722 320333 or visit the show page.

A cop killing crim is giving the police the run around in old London
Blitz is a good movie that finally comes to life about 20 to 30 minutes in when we finally get to the main story. Once the chase is on with the odd couple partnership of tough rule breaking Tom Brant (Jason Statham) and gay straight laced Porter Nash (Paddy Considine) pursuing the cop killing criminal who's hungry for notoriety the Blitz (Aiden Gillen) the movie comes into it's stride. Before that we're inundated with so many characters it's a little confusing. What makes matters worse is that none of these side characters stories are ever really finished and the time wasted on them could have been spent giving a little more screen time to Porter Nash who is sadly underused.
Don't get me wrong though I enjoyed the film. Aiden Gillen is a brilliant bad guy, giving his character a Johnny Rotten swagger. I felt myself enjoying hating the Blitz and couldn't wait to see him get his just deserts but we could have done with getting a little more insight into his behaviour. Statham does a good job showing a little weakness now and then in his usually gruff demeanour. As I have already said Paddy Considine is great but not in it enough for my liking. London looks great and there is an exciting chase through the streets which is one of the high points of the movie.
I enjoyed the movie and would happily watch it again. It's biggest fault was trying to juggle too many story lines at once and unfortunately it dropped a couple of balls.
Detective Sergeant Tom Brant who is dispatched to take down a serial killer hell bent on killing off the police force one by one. "The Blitz" manages to slip through the grasp of Tom every time, and with the precious lives of his colleagues diminishing one by one, Tom is led to the question: if we can't protect our own, then what good are we?

Good but not great.
A cop killing crim is giving the police the run around in old London
Some nice camera work, stylish blurring, but pretty cliched police drama. Jason Statham does what Jason Statham normally does, he's utterly typecast as kind of British Dirty Harry, but it's not new anymore like it was in Snatch/The Transporter.
His sidekick is not nearly as interesting as the little guy in Snatch or the girl in Transporter.
Good work from Aiden Gillen (the guy who played Tommy Carcetti in The Wire) as the bad guy. Zawe Ashton is also interesting as a WPC with a drug problem.
Mainly the plot seemed a bit disjointed and contrived. Overall it felt like a TV police drama. Nothing special.

The "Transatlantic" and Late Nineteenth-Century American Women's Humor

For many years, scholars wrongly characterized nineteenth-century American humor as having been an exclusively masculine preserve. When feminist historians corrected this error, they also introduced a new one, defining women's humor writing in too narrow a fashion—that is, as limited to the vernacular mode. Some late nineteenth-century American women's comic poetry and autobiographical fiction, however, also embraced a sophisticated voice that derived from and responded to British models. These works—by figures such as Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Helen Gray Cone, and Carolyn Wells—positioned themselves as part of a transatlantic tradition of literary wit. Reviving and reconsidering these overlooked and unjustly neglected texts today will allow us to remap the landscape of American humor studies.
