A FORMER gender studies student at the London School of Economics (LSE) who had hoped to sue the institution for alleged sexism has had his case struck out.
Tom Martin, 39, who lives in Covent Garden, claimed he suffered "anti-male discrimination" while studying for a master's degree in gender, media and culture at the world-famous university in Holborn.
Representing himself at his application for a trial at the Central London County Court on Tuesday, Mr Martin complained of a lack of men-only sessions in the university's gym and the preponderance of posters in the corridors advertising services for women without the presence of similar materials geared towards men.
Mr Martin, who describes himself as a feminist, said "hard" chairs in the library were uncomfortable for men and that a "male blaming culture" was evident in course materials, which "ignored men's issues" and focused on wrongs done by them.
Mr Martin told the court: "To perpetuate these stories about men being worse than they actually are when these gender experts are in receipt of the true state of affairs is discriminating. The effect of the negative stereotyping is stupefying."
However, barrister Nick Armstrong, for the LSE, successfully argued that there were no grounds for moving to what would have been likely to be a long trial.
He said Mr Martin's claim lacked legal coherence, adding that the bar claimants in discrimination cases had to cross to be successful had been set "fairly high" because of the subjective aspects of these cases.
He said Mr Martin would have had to prove that he experienced a "bullying-type scenario" at the LSE, adding: "Whatever Mr Martin says about all this, no objectively reasonable person would feel degraded or humiliated by posters on the wall or course content."
District Judge John Taylor said: "What Mr Armstrong would have me say, and I use his words, is that this is a hopeless claim. This claim has in my opinion no chance of success at all."
He said the court was not a forum for a wider discussion about the role of men in society but could only deal with the specifics of Mr Martin's allegations that he personally was discriminated against.
The judge added that he agreed with Mr Armstrong's argument that Mr Martin's claim was too weak to have a reasonable chance of success in any trial.
An earlier application by Mr Martin for an adjournment was rejected, and permission to appeal was refused.
Mr Martin was ordered to pay the LSE's legal costs subject to a financial assessment.
at my scottish university the course leaders have relentlessly chosen content that focuses specifically on female victimhood. the bulk emails we receive everyday talk of women's aid, women's rape crises and so on. the bigotry is disheartening.
Isn't it interesting how this forum has been colonised by anti-feminist men whining about their rights. Pathetic and embarrassing. Crawl back under your rocks boys you are embarrassing yourselves and your gender. I noted the stuff about men as victims of suicide and violence - perpetrated by whom? Oh I wonder. Who perpetrates all that violence. The comments on here for me just highlight how much some men will seek to cling to power. Don't use we....I am embarrassed to share to your gender. Martin seems like a self publicist to me. No, no he's right anti-male sexism is a real social problem. Yeah right. Do me a favour. So ignorant.
Aren't feminists whining about a non-existent patriarchy and rape culture? Last time I checked rapists go to prison and nobody condones it.
How boring that another colonic DJW throws a hissy-fit when feminism collides with facts...whining that her right to have the state feed her rainbow-flatulating unicorn might be challenged.
Pathetic and embarrassing, these weak-minded fembots! They swear they are equal to men, even combat-ready, yet routinely crawl back under rocks when confronted by reality.
They are embarrassing themselves and their gender.
I noted the stuff about women as victims of rape and violence, especially in lesbian couples - perpetrated by whom? Who perpetrates all that violence?
Who abuses young children the most: men who are away working?
Some men will seek to cling to power at all costs. They want to stay eternally children. Is is any wonder companies don't promote responsibility-averse females?
Gender-feminists are self-publicists. They pretend to be maidens-in-distress to milk money from saps. Feminists say women are equal to men, yet need endless patriarchal "Special Olympics" rules to compete.
Anti-male sexism must be denied so all funds/care can go to teh wimminz.
What's truly pathetic is a social justice advocate who regards treating the other sex as a true equal as an offense to their sensibilities. The gender of a perpetrator does not make a victim more or less of a victim. It's sexist stupidity that undermines the feminists argument that they are in favor of equality. The arguments of "male privilege" are the last recourse of women trying to protect their own special victim privilege while victimizing men through their open hostility. Men have no reason to support an ideology that hates their gender. Misandry is a major problem today because of feminists activists and it's being advanced to attack the men challenging their hatred of one sex. Maybe the gender bashers can do us all a favour and shut up while the adults look to the cause of equality.
There's a need for some major myth busting here. The wage gap is quantified by people within the same field or job. The gap between a female manager and a male one, for example, is about £10,000 per annum. See reference here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14721839 The
Internationally the average wage gap within the same field of work in 2008 (if women are paid for there work at all) was 17%. Please see the UN website: http://www.unifem.org/gender_issues/women_poverty_economics/
What was referred to above re women dropping out of work to have a family also excludes facts that single parent are massively discriminated in work, both men and women, however 92% of single parents in the UK are women. Average age of 38. (Please see http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/family-demography/families-and-households/...) Single parents in the UK pay higher tax. Once their children are 12 or over, single parents' employment rate is similar to, or higher than employment rate for mothers in couples yet they are twice as likely to live in poverty.
Women are at a higher risk of poverty and hunger internationally due to gender discrimination in education. (See UN study)
Moving onto issues of violence against women on average two women a week in England and Wales are killed by a violent partner or ex-partner. Please see Home Office Statistical Bulletin No. 02/05. Home Office. London; Department of Health. In the UK 45% of women have experienced some form of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. Please see British Crime Survey. Home Office. and take into account that this only includes reported cases. The actual percentage is likely much higher. Domestic violence is estimated to cost victims, services and the state a total of around £23 billion a year.
The notion that feminism is a minority of discriminatory, hateful, delusional women and weak willed masochistic males is plainly ill informed. The aggression with which the miss-information is carried becomes offensive and wilfully ignorant to the point of being spiteful.
Whatever the failings of feminism, violence and discrimination based on gender is still patently a major issue both nationally and internationally. For the happiness and health of all this need to be addressed.
- "Violence against women continues to persist as one of the most heinous, systematic and prevalent human rights abuses in the world. It is a threat to all women, and an obstacle to all our efforts for development, peace, and gender equality in all societies." Ban Ki moon, United Nations Secretary General, 2007.
Same field does not mean same job or duties. It doesn't control for hours worked or time served with the company.
I agree, there needs to be some major mythbusting.
The wage gap only holds true if hours worked, field of work and holidays taken aren't accounted for. When these factors are brought into account the wage gap dwindles to statistical irrelevancy and often favours women.
You list some (questionable) stats about other women's issues, but you're completely ignoring the many, many areas where men fare worse such as suicide, violent assault, murder, homelessness etc. etc.
""Violence against women continues to persist as one of the most heinous, systematic and prevalent human rights abuses in the world."
And all the while violence against men continues to be ignored and marginalised.
Sorry, but your myth busting is more like myth perpetuating.
there's a difference between a specific law being broken, and Tom Martin wanting to deliver and informal lecture from a podium, to a judge.
You're possibly right, that in the case of LSE no laws were broken, but that is largely because the EHRC, the Equalities Act 2012 and the EOC largely promote positive discrimination as a valid means to achieve equality. But perhaps that is the challenge that needs to be made, that large sections of the EHRC are downright discriminatory, they simply discriminate against people widely perceived to be privileged. A good way to get that recognition would be to win a court case and have a judge's decision in your favour. But good luck finding a judge that would make such a ruling.
Men, and many consenting women, thanks for sticking together on this issue. I am right, if it were a woman who took a school to court for not treating women the same as men, the women would have all climbed aboard and wailed against such behavior. All that us men want is for the gender studies to stop bashing men with slurs, hatred, insults, lies, and bigotry. If women truly want equality, THEN IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THEY START SETTING THE EXAMPLE THAT WHICH THEY WANT MEN TO FOLLOW. Else, equality and the "status" of women, while "law" on paper, policy etc, in reality, will never come to pass. It is a matter of commonsense!
Women need to set the example on more than just this issue. This is true for DV abuse coming from women, special preferential treatment for women on just about EVERYTHING, and that of getting to do to men what would be unthinkable if done from men to women.
Men, the time is drawing near for us to unite, organize, and fight back! Soon, the boys will be asking, "What did you do daddy (and other men) to help stop hatred against men? What did you do to help us?"
Will your head be hung in shame?
Men must resisit the femi-socialist takeover no matter what it cost us men---no matter what!
It is not more manly to be a coward, defending women, when you know darned well feminists are NOT right all the time. Men are not required to agree with feminists to prove they love women. Men who want things to be stable are not filled with hatred no more than the men of yesteryear hated women before things got hijacked by selfish feminists---which started the breakdown of the family. Now look at where we are!
The proof is all around us!
I'm not surprised by the outcome, but I hope this case is the first of many challenging the bizarre double standards present in our current third level education programs. Though I haven't seen the transcripts, from other sources it appears that Tom Martin was absolutely justified in his claims against LSE, but unfortunately, being correct is no match for being a well funded and renowned institution in a legal setting. The pitfall I suppose, was representing himself when he wasn't even a student of law. Hopefully his case will win in the court of appeals.
Best of luck Tom.
How did this discussion become for "equal status of women?" The point of Mr. Martin was to show that TRUE gender studies will treat all students as valid, equal participants without biased professors, meanness toward a specific gender, or refusal to be honest and fair. It is a well-known fact that gender studies is anti-male (no documentation required because reality stand in just fine). Whether or not some men "have a problem" with it is irrelevant to the discussion that was supposed to ensue.
Too, hurling personal insults at those who have a right to disagree by calling them "unmanly", "fragile masculinity" and other things, that if done to women would be called out-of-bounds, is fairly indicative of the type of women that the feminists movement is encouraging. Women who do this are making the case for antifeminists. Special treatment for women, that expects men to pretend they do not see it at all, proves women don't get it.
Hard chairs was the least of the concerns Mr. Martin was addressing. Probably, the issue was used by anti-male people to bring giggles and laughter at MR. Martin's other legitimate complaints.
Plus, in fact, there is no need to have citations for each and every legal case fought on behalf of women. The point made above was that women rallied behind any female complainer in court that sought justice... which made the issues at hand more than just discrimination of a person per se.
As for the comment about "when are men going to have cohesion and start to fight back against [hate-filled anti-male feminism]?" Men ARE starting to organize now. It took a long time because it is against our nature to go against women, and perhaps they wanted to give women some rope to argue their case. But now they see that feminism turned out to be exploitative of males' love of women. Feminism is a front for female superiority laced with severe male hatred ---all because nature was rightfully objective in determining opposite roles and commonsense for the genders, to help most people about most things, most of the time.
That last comment will probably start a backlash of feminist resentment aimed at men however because feminists despise the truth. It is their number one enemy!
So what are feminists going to do now? Take away men's right to disagree with some of what feminists say...that only feminists know the truth for all people, everywhere, about everything? Men do not have to agree with feminists in order to prove they love women.
...and some of us men are smart enough to not want women who are filled with so much hatred, envy, and obliviousness. It doesn't have to be this way, you know? We should work together to achieve a truly balanced plan.
Most men are for TRUE, straight-up, nothing-but, 50/50 equality, but for some reason that scares the heck out of some women and apparently all feminists. Wonder why?
Now can we get back on track here... you know, about why the court wouldn't even hear his case? If the court wouldn't even hear "her" case, it would cause an uproar! THAT was my point and the entire point---which is what is "inarguable".
Feminism is now pretty much a hate movement, I really don't know how they get away with it.
you're really digging your own grave there mate
Feminism is not anti-male, it's anti-patriarchy.
It is unarguable that there has been oppression of women historically, and considering the wage gap, the beauty myth and the commodification of sex, I would say that oppression is very much still prevalent today.
Gender stereotypes are harmful to both men and women. Feminism is not an enemy of men, it is a discussion of gender.
It had a gender studies department.
Which openly defined "gender studies" as "examining the role of women in society" when questioned. So yeah, the feminism department.
You must surely see that there is an argument that historically men did not oppress women. Nature made women and men complementary - that is one reason why the human race has been so successful - I for one believe that women in the past were indeed men's equal in their relationship.
Not to deviate - you cannot say that there is NO argument.
"It is unarguable that there has been oppression of women historically"
And? Men were oppressed just the same back in the day. In the US men only go the vote a few decades before women did. Before that time the only people who could vote were those who owned property, which did include women on occasion. Most men and women were dirt poor so they were excluded. Then men got the vote and a while later so did women. For some reason this little fact of history is lost on gender studies majors.
"and considering the wage gap"
The wage gap, as presented by many feminists, is a complete and utter myth. What little gap does exists is directly attributed to women's choices, namely dropping out of the workforce for several years to raise children, gravitating towards lower paying fields, and simply not working as many hours annually as men do.
Some men were told "you cannot vote because you are poor". All women were told "you cannot vote because you're a woman" see the difference?
I just want to correct you on this only about 10% of the population was allowed to vote. Only white men who owned land could vote. So a little less than 20% of men could vote (given that women make up a greater percent of the population). The mistake commonly made here is to assume that because a few men had the power to vote all or most did. The truth is most men 80% where just as discriminated against as women though most of the history of the U.S.
I cannot believe you didn't know this. Some one should really start to question what gender studies programs are teaching. Maybe if someone could try to point out this kind of misconception normal presented in schools and universities to make them less one sided and present all the facts...........oh right!
Voting was the privilege of a small number of property-owning men in the UK too. Gradually this number increased but it remained the fact that the great majority of men could not vote. Upper class women got the vote before all men did. And there was just 13 years between all men getting the vote and all women getting equal voting rights.
So while sexism was an important factor, class was a bigger obstacle to suffrage.
There's every reason to be proud of the UK's suffragettes. But the history of suffrage and its relation to gender politics has been wildly distorted in common perception.
I think what the person above was trying to point out is that you are describing an issue of class/wealth discrimination... not gender discrimination. They were discriminated against because of their material wealth, not there gender. Are you starting to cotton on? There is gender discrimination and there is class discrimination. Gender-class... gender-class. Different subjects. One is about gender, the other is about class. All require profound and deep scrutiny. Bit like asking why a GP doesn't offer dentistry, both extremely important to your health, both very important to tend to, but different subjects.
And while a few, high ranking individuals, were not discriminated against their gender in terms of voting, they were discriminated against in virtually every other are a required to earn that vote.
If women were so universally oppressed then why were the Titanic's lifeboat's full of wealthy, caucasian women? The right to vote pales compared to the right to life.
When feminists define patriarchy as to mean "Male Self Agency": My ability to choose, then feminism is and has been continually proven to be a bigoted hate movement. Don't kid yourself. Your a bigot and your carrying water for a bigoted hate movement.
Feminism is a discussion about gender: A discussion of how to leave the male gender bloodied and broken on the ground!
"If the situation were reversed, with everything exactly identical that which Mr. Martin experienced, women would have won"
If a woman complained that hard chairs in the library were part of anti-woman conspiracy, she'd be laughed out of court too
If a woman made Tom Martin's complaints the focus would not have been on an aside like the hardness of the library chairs. It would have been where it belonged on the sexism of the course materials.
And newspapers accross the land would have ignored her many valid points in favour of one tongue in cheek one taken out of context? Not really, no.
The fact that a court found that completely ignoring issues relevant to his gender is ok provided that male issues aren't taught to women either is absolutely shocking.
if your masculinity is so fragile that women having equal status as men pains you so much, then there's not a person in the world that can help you.
By the way, that 'yesteryear' you speak of? You might perceive it as being so wonderful precisely because women were baby-machines, chained to the kitchen sink. denied a voice and an opinion and patted on their sweet little heads whenever they dissented. Times have changed. You're not in charge anymore.
Is your femininity so fragile that a man having equal status to you is painful?
The "yesteryear" which you claims privileged men so much was a world which objectified them in terms of their wealth and their willingness to die. Men were, and are, the combined human shields and workhorses for the "baby factories."
Straight away you go for the old feminist technique of attacking us as men - accusing the poster of having a fragile masculinity. There is no better example of the glass floor that men face where we are not allowed to express our emotions or feelings towards the social exclusion and female privilege created by feminism.
The yesteryear you speak of? Where men were denied the vote as much as women and the rich spat on the poor? I think you believe that during this time men were not oppressed along with women. I think you would prefer to believe men lived fulfilled lives working in factories and down coal mines trying to scrape together mere pennies for their families because it fits a feminist agenda that's simply not true.
Times may have changed, men might not be in charge any more, but woe betide you when the pendulum swings back oh soror of mine...
So they wouldn't even allow the case to be heard?
It doesn't appear Mr Martin personally is being discriminated against, more like every single heterosexual male, something even worse. LSE have essentially already admitted the false advertising charge in past writings by staff there, so at the very, very least, even if it's not possible to prove that sexism then they surely should be found guilty of a serious breach of contract?
If the situation were reversed, with everything exactly identical that which Mr. Martin experienced, women would have won. Not just having to prove that a woman was personally discriminated against in order to continue the suit, but the entire thing would have been a rally cry on behalf of all women and their supposed oppression.
Why am I not surprised!
If the feminists of the 60's, 70's, and 80's, with their litigious attitudes toward basically everything, experienced such an equally humiliating shut-out by biased courts, we would have never heard the end of it!
Women are not right all the time. Feminists are winning because men are apathetic to legitimate causes of their own gender, leaving the battlefield largely to women/feminists alone.
Things will only get worse unless men learn to stand up for themselves and for their own gender---no matter what it cost them with women and kids. Today real men will do whatever it takes to be successful--- or else be erased from view not only in the eyes of the courts, but in all of society it seems.
Men, as fathers and other mentors, need to teach boys that achieving manhood is not as limited as it was in yesteryear when everything was stable. This may be men's only resort to stopping a beast so large, so mean, so selfish, so oblivious, so vengeful, so entrenched, soooo helped, so wrong...
What other choice do men have but to be MGTOW.
I feel for Mr. Martin, but men, do not let this discourage you. Continue to fight and eventually you will prevail.
I assume you have detailed citations to prove that every time a woman has brought any form of sexual discrimination or harassment suit, they always win the case.
Whining about hard chairs is so manly. Whining that there's icky girls in the gym is incredibly manly.
Go ahead and go your own way. Women don't need men like you, and that's what terrifies you.
The fact that you can isolate a minor concern and call it "whining" is your privilege as a woman. Why not just tell him to "man up" or "be a man?"
Forget about supporting discriminated men of color -cause fighting racism isn't what MRA's are about (because it's up of White,anti-child-support,anti-abortion (irony),privileged men). Or raising awareness about testicular cancer. oh no. The chairs were not comfy. They are no different from the bigots who cry "reverse-racism", and the Southern Poverty Law Center agrees-it's a hate group made of privileged babies partaking in armchair activism to spite women's liberation. What rights do they already not have anyway? Sounds like they just want to keep their privileges.
MRAs are equivalent to the KKK, and in fact MRA is the KKK's brother, since it's goals are to hate and oppress women, this includes women of color, too.
Don't you dare try to define a man's masculinity by the extent to which he serves your gender's selfish needs.
I wasn't present at the case, but I imagine the complaint against giving harder, more uncomfortable chairs for men was cherry picked out of a long list of valid discriminations.
Feminists in Sweden complain about toilet seats being left up and fight for the right to show their hairy armpits in public. Men have to put up with constant demonisation and real discrimination from the cradle to our (early) grave, and we're just unmanly whiners when a handful of us have the balls to stand up for ourselves!
What is it with men? Why weren't they backing Mr. Martin? Why are they so apathetic when it comes to their own rights? When are they actually going to do something about the gender discrimination they face?
As a mother of sons, I absolutely despair at the ongoing war against men that the feminists are so successfully encouraging.
The feminists have a strong voice because they have a cohesive unit and they get things done. Isn't it time men did the same?
Men by their nature are competitive - against other men. Women are the opposite, they bind into supportive groups - nature made it this way. Sad fact of life, and that is why men have been so slow to come together, but it will happen and it will happen AIDED by good women - that is the majority of women - women who simply want a normal relationship with a normal man.
I think feminism will backfire. There will be blowback like the women of Russia are experiencing with their men. Russian women seriously traded out their men under communism.
I think that if the west doesn't devolve completely into a mad mess that gets eaten up by another culture (far Eastern, or Islam), that it may adopt Sharia-lite and really put women into a lesser legal position for a long time.
I suspect similar gynosupremacist events have happened in societies that repress women like the Wahabi-ists.

Day 3...Dave's 68th birthday
... Some really good shots hit by us both, and at 18° I got so hot I took my jumper off! We finished about 3.30pm giving us time to drive to the beach. I'm glad we did, it was lovely. There were loads of people about, enjoying the sunshine just like us. We had a cold drink at a bar on the sands, then took a little walk along the promenade. We were tempted earlier, not to get a parking ticket, because it wouldn't accept our credit card, ...
Day 2
... it's not surprising the local restaurants offer "fish if the day" on their menu. Time for a hot drink and lunch we made our way back to town. Sale à l'étage had seats in the sun so that's where we had a tea/coffee and a panini. It got so warm we took our ***********. 18°! We walked, uphill now, back towards the old town. We took more photos of various statues of art, before deciding it was time for a nice large glass ...
Day 1...Dover to Calais, and Boulogne Sur Mer.
We left 8.45am plenty of time for the journey to Dover. Our ferry booked for 12.55. It was an easy ride, with only light traffic. As we arrived so early we were put on the 12pm crossing. It's half term and didn't we know it...kids everywhere, well it gave Dave something to comment on! Sunshine all the way, just time to have a cuppa and kit-kat and then we were off! Only half hour drive to our Ibis Boulogne-sur-Mer, room 306. 10 minutes ...
Near Calais
Our last day in France and it rained all day. I thought that was rather apt. We arrived in the rain and we are leaving in the rain. It looks like its really happening and this guy is going to take the van. He is very excited and is travelling down with us to Cornwall tomorrow and then driving the Beast away. We are nearly finished one part of our journey and will have some time with Jane and Anton and a small trip to Greece to look forward ...
Homeward bound
... so hopefully there will be no delays. Nope, no delays, no migrants, nothing! Also a good clear drive back home there were even no queues at the Dartford Tunnel. Back home by 3pm and spent the next 2.5 hours unloading and sorting stuff out. All done, can't wait until next ...

PORTLAND, Ore. - Phil Jackson couldn't have made his intentions clearer than when he issued a news release last summer saying this would be his final season as the Lakers' coach.
He called 2010-11 his "last stand."
Over the following days, weeks and months, when he spoke of retirement, he usually did so in vague terms or short sound bites.
He said it was time. He said his health was a concern. He said he had grown tired of traveling to places he didn't enjoy visiting.
Jackson delved far more deeply into his decision during a 75-minute interview with beat reporters Thursday evening at the team's trendy downtown hotel. He spoke about his past and his present and his future without the NBA.
"It's a really unhealthy lifestyle," said Jackson, 65. "We're eating at midnight at lot of times on planes and we're going to be up until 3 in the morning (while traveling immediately after games), and we haven't had anything to eat since 3 in the afternoon.
"I think that's a really good reason to get out of the game in some ways, too."
He said he intended to retire after the Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics in a thrilling NBA Finals last June, his league-leading 11th title. He also said he decided to return because he felt an obligation to the players to try for a three-peat this spring.
"Kobe (Bryant) sent me a text and called and Fish, too," he said, referring to Derek Fisher. "Those things kind of were persuasive enough. I knew if I came back, then this was it. I never wanted to coach after I was 60. (But) I came back and coached.
Asked what was in for him, he said, "I felt like I had an obligation. That, for me, was probably as important as my benefit in coming back and doing this. Fulfill this. Complete a chapter. Who knows what the NBA is going to look like next year?"
There has been plenty of chatter recently that the league and the players' union are so far apart on hammering out a new labor agreement when the current deal expires June 31 that the entire 2011-12 season might be lost to a lockout.
"I think there are some people who are pretty convinced there's not going to be a year next year," he said, striking a rather somber tone. "I think the transition is right to move on to the next adventure."
Jackson also acknowledged the difficulty in finding something as compelling as coaching the Lakers to fill the rest of his days. But he said he has found a place to do whatever it is he will tackle next in his second home in Montana.
"There's no doubt there's an empty hole in your life," he said of leaving the game. "I've been able to step away twice, so I know what it's like stepping back. I'll be very honest with you, one of the hardest years of my life was when I retired from playing.
"I had been a player and a player/coach (while with the New Jersey Nets), and then I went away from the game. It's something you think, `I'll never been in the same exciting arena or the same exciting lifestyle again.' "Coaching is as close to playing as there is. There's an energy that goes into it. The adrenaline surge you get from being a part of this is great. There's nothing higher than getting into that championship level and having to coach in that kind of spotlight.
"And that could ever be replaced in a normal activity in life."

Hollybrook Cemetery
Also known as: Southampton, Hollybrook Cemetery
Southampton Unitary Authority
Hampshire England
Hollybrook Cemetery:
First Name
Last Name
Cemetery notes and/or description:
This cemetery is located off Tremona Road, opposite the general Accident and Emergency Hospital.
Southampton was No 1 Port during the First World War and military hospitals were established in the University buildings, in the Highfield Institution and at Shirley Warren. During the Second World War, 4.5 million tons of military equipment passed through Southampton docks and parts of the prefabricated harbours used at Arromanches during the Normandy invasion were made there. For a while, Southampton was also base to the 14th Major Port Transportation Corps of the United States Army.
This Cemetery contains burials of both wars and a memorial to the missing.
The cemetery has a First World War plot near the main entrance containing most of the 113 graves from this period. Behind this plot is the Hollybrook Memorial which commemorates by name almost 1,900 servicemen and women of the Commonwealth land and air forces whose graves are not known, many of whom were lost in transports or other vessels torpedoed or mined in home waters. It also bears the names of those who were lost or buried at sea, or who died at home but whose bodies could not be recovered for burial.
Most of the 186 Second World War burials are in a separate war graves plot. 3 of these burials are unidentified seaman of the Merchant Navy.
In addition to the Commonwealth war graves, the cemetery contains 67 war graves of other nationalities, many of them German, of which 2 are unidentified.
From Junction 5 of the M27, take the A35 (Burgess Road/Winchester Road) and follow signs for general hospital.
Visitor Information Panels have recently been installed at Southampton (Hollybrook) Cemetery to provide information about the war casualties buried here. Panels are being erected to help raise awareness of First and Second World War graves in the UK (Feb 2013).

For all his achievements in almost two decades spent playing in the English Premier League, Emile Heskey was hardly renowned as a goal machine.
But the former England international's free-scoring form for the Newcastle Jets suggests that could change in the A-League.
The big striker has hit the ground running in Australian football, with his brace in Friday night's 2-1 triumph over Melbourne Victory taking his tally to four goals from as many games.
In doing so he moved to the top of the early goal-scoring charts and became the first Jets player to score in three successive games since former hero Joel Griffiths in the victorious 2007/08 campaign.
The 34-year-old's prolific start has surprised many, and not only because he arrived in Australia only a week before the season kicked off.
With a strike rate of one goal every 4.6 games in English football in his time with Leicester City, Liverpool, Birmingham, Wigan and Aston Villa, Heskey's main strength has always been seen as his ability to hold up the ball and create opportunities for his teammates.
But the Jets look to be getting the best of both worlds out of their new signing.
Coach Gary van Egmond tipped before the season Heskey could surprise a few people in front of goal and he is rapt with the striker's return.
However he's most excited about the way Heskey is allowing others - the likes of Ryan Griffiths and young guns Craig Goodwin and James Virgili - to shine.
"We have a lot of really really good lieutenants but he's the one who we need as the person who really leads that line," van Egmond said.
"With that amount of confidence and time that other players are getting, and the fact they're able to do better things with the ball, is a lot to do with what Emile does with the ball.
"He might not have as many touches as some players but his positioning and the way he attracts certain players, the other players are really benefiting from that."
Heskey's form has coincided with a superb start for the Jets with their third successive win ensuring their best start to an A-League campaign.
Van Egmond still believes his team needs plenty of improvement but admitted it was a dream start.
"We were always very confident with the work that we've done in the off-season, " he said.
"But if you would have asked me at the beginning of the year, would you take three out of four, I definitely would have taken it."

jeep commander transmission problem
hi guys, i need help because here in Italy look like no one is able to fix a Commander even if its the CRD engine.
i just change the valve body of the automatic trasmission gearbox ( that is the same of the ml mercedes in fact the part is with mercedes logo on it) but when i start the car makes a little JUMP in front, like a click or a bump and i dont have any idea of what it...just at 10-15 km/h.
i check the oil on the trasmission and is goog qualiti and quantity...what else could be?
i need your help.
Re: jeep commander transmission problem
There was a TSB where we 3.7 owners were getting moisture in the fluid and it would cause a shutter or torque converter slippage.
Could this be same, just different cause?
Re: jeep commander transmission problem
thanks, yes it could be but is soo strange because before the car was perfect, then i change the valve body of the automatic gearbox because was loosing oil from it. how this two parts can be linked?
how did u solve the problem? thanks again

Gulfstream Park: Prado back in Hall of Fame form
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Hall of Fame rider Edgar Prado entered the 2012-13 Gulfstream Park meet with a new agent and high hopes, but not a lot of established business to hang his helmet on.
Eleven weeks into the session, Prado has himself a Grade 1 winner, a clientele base that is growing on a daily basis, and is riding as good as any jockey on the grounds.
Prado, 45, posted just 12 victories during the opening two months of the meet. He's won 13 more races since Feb. 1 alone, including the Grade 1 Donn Handicap for trainer Todd Pletcher aboard Graydar and Saturday's Grade 3 The Very One with Starformer for fellow Hall of Famer Bill Mott. He also finished second here last weekend aboard Teaks North in the Grade 3 Mac Diarmida.
"Things have really changed over the last couple of weeks due to a number of reasons," Prado said. "I've been working hard the whole meet and I've called upon my experience and changed a few little things here and there along the way. I've been riding smart and perhaps most important with a lot more confidence than before. I've also been riding a lot of good horses and making the most of the opportunities I've been given. Everything is just falling into place."
Prado said having the mount on Graydar was a big factor in his recent resurgence. Prado has ridden Graydar in all four of his starts, winning three of those races including an allowance earlier in the meet as a prelude to his three-length victory Feb. 9 in the Donn.
"Graydar was a big plus for me," Prado said. "Todd was very nice to let me keep riding the horse – the same with Billy Mott and Starformer. The success of those two horses alone helps brings a lot of customers back."
The Donn was Prado's first Grade 1 win since he captured the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf aboard Shared Account in 2010 and his first at Gulfstream since combining with Pletcher to win the 2007 Florida Derby with Scat Daddy.
Prado also credited his agent, former trainer Bob Klesaris, as another major factor in his success this winter.
"Bobby has done a great job for me since taking my book during the fall," Prado said. "It's kind of ironic because he also gave me my first big opportunity shortly after I came to this country, riding me in Boston and then taking me to Maryland, where my career really took off. Now, we're back together again."
Prado says he and Klesaris are planning to return to New York at the end of this meet, although he acknowledged that things could change.
"I guess it all depends upon where our business takes us," Prado said. "Like everybody else, we're looking for a big 3-year-old, and I also have a lot of business with turf horses for Mott and Graham Motion, so you never can tell."
edgar,you are one of the best.i see you trying on 40 to 1 shots as hard as a 1to 1 shot. i hope to see you in the derby this year and then ill know know who has a shot.good luck now and in the future.hey ,my buddy gave me a signed head shot of you and barbaro so lets get another OK?
after the barbaro incident Prado really seemed like he lost interest and then he had a big fallout with Tony Dutrow. I can also remember after his fall in 07 he seemed like he was shy to go up the inside with closers. But now he is winning mainly with speed types and i do see him go inside with some a few horses with little success. He was my favorite betting jock at one time and I hope he keeps it up
Glad to see Edgar having success again. He's one of the good guys.
Hi! So nice to see that Edgar Prado is back on top once again. Good for him. It was Edgar and Barbaro that got me interested in thoroughbred horse racing. Good luck, Edgar! Lise from Maine
great to see prado back to his hall of fame form he has ridden some great horses and i have never forgotten about him only active jockey to be in top ten of all time both in wins and earnings big accomplishment
A good agent means a lot to any jock. But with so many good riders & agents at Gulf,luck plays a big part too.
Great to see Edgar back in winning form also to read what the fans say about him, well deserved as he is a top profesional and a real good person
`Nice to see Edgar riding in great form again also to read what the fans have to say about him what is very well deserved
betting horses 40 yrs, biggest score was when Edgar brought home Barbaro in the KD. hit big ex, tri & super. thanks Edgar and welcome back to the winners circle.
Edgar is a class act and poetry in motion on horseback.

A team of physicists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) has predicted the existence of a new kind of spin liquid. A spin liquid is an exotic phenomenon that intrigues scientists: it is a magnetic material in which the magnetism of the atoms fluctuates continuously between different directions. Their theoretical discovery found confirmation through computer simulation. Notably, this mathematical description of a spin liquid shares important similarities with a gauge symmetry, which is a key element in the way physics describes the world. The researchers, all from OIST Theory of Quantum Matter Unit, published their results in Nature Communications.
Spin liquids are well known to physicists. The name 'spin liquid' is misleading, as a spin liquid is a solid that is liquid only from the point of view of the directions of its atoms' magnetism. The direction of an atom's magnetism is defined by the magnetism that originates from the rotation of the electrons around the atom's nucleus. In a visual representation of an atom, the magnetism's direction can be drawn as an arrow, which points in a specific direction of space.
At high temperature, the arrows inside a given material typically point in random directions: the magnetism of each atom is different. When the material is cooled down, the arrows usually arrange themselves in a repeating pattern. A spin liquid is a specific type of magnetic material in which the atoms' directions keep fluctuating even at low temperatures.
Spin liquids are hard to pin down because they lack the regular repeating patterns of other magnets. Being able to predict the existence of a new kind of spin liquid is then a very important achievement. The new spin liquid theoretically discovered by the scientists is characterized by a unique internal structure describing how the magnetism of each atom relates to the magnetism of those around it.
The finding is significant because there is a strong relationship between the scientists' mathematical description of the spin liquid and a gauge symmetry. Gauge symmetries are the way in which physicists understand the fundamental forces of nature, such as electromagnetism. Finding gauge symmetries in spin liquids is interesting because it reveals deep connections between different branches of physics. These connections have historically fostered new understandings of how we interpret reality from the physicists' point of view.

Tech marketers often fret over their marketing mix, but it's usually couched in terms of "how" – e.g., "How do customers get information about us?" or, "Do we have the right mix of web content, events, blogs and [now, of course] social media conversations?"
We know that all those "how" things are not equal. Customers utilize web content more than events, and events more than blogs. But every bit as important (if not more), and sometimes not taken into consideration, is the "who" of the "how." In general, customers highly value tech vendors' websites and events, industry analysts' research reports and blogs, channel partners' online videos, and social media conversations with peers. But customers' go-to information source preferences vary by industry, company size, and geography. [For more information, see the Forrester report on "The Who And How of Influencing Customers' BT Decisions."]
With social media stacked on top of websites stacked on top of events stacked on top of collateral … well, I don't have to tell you how complex marketing-mix allocation budgeting has come to be. But designing your mix model on a "who-what" framework simplifies the model, and goes a long way to ensuring that you're investing in the information sources that customers are tapping.

As the economic malaise lingers on, a more frugal consumer mindset is spurring consumers to embrace new digital technologies to make more informed buying decisions. This shift in behavior is releasing shopper marketing from the confines of the store walls, as consumers make purchase decisions at home and on-the-go. Once a tactical outpost in the sales organization, shopper marketing is now being embraced by forward-thinking marketers like Kellogg's and Clorox, which are focused on getting on their consumer's shopping list before she even gets to the store. But with this new opportunity comes potential organization confusion. Where does shopper marketing end and brand marketing begin? And where should it sit in the organization? Check out my report, "Shopper Marketing Breaks Out Of The Store," to find out how consumers' shopping habits are changing, how retailers are responding, and what it means for brand marketers.
How is your consumer shopping differently? And how is shopper marketing changing your organization? Answer here or join the discussion on The Forrester Community For CMO & Marketing Leadership Professionals here.

Last week at Facebook's developer conference, the massive social network announced a few big changes. Loosely veiled in the enhanced features is a startling amount of new data, giving Facebook even more capabilities to track and learn from consumers sharing behavior, networks, purchases, songs they listen to, and so on.
While there were no direct announcements about what this means for marketers, it's still brought a fair amount of discussion around social marketing, customer data, and the future of consumer privacy online. Last week I tweeted a link to this summary (and pointed out the URL's passive aggressive analysis). But since then, the concerns around Facebook's use of data have only increased. So what does this mean to Customer Intelligence professionals?
The way I talk about customer privacy and social data - the information you can collect and manage from social media channels - is that it's a big, gray, squishy, and constantly moving line. It's not black and white. It's not a thin line. And the overall sentiment about how privacy online works seems to shift constantly. The best thing Customer Intelligence teams can do today is to make sure they're on the right side of that line.

If there's one thing Facebook is not afraid of, it's change. Today at its annual F8 conference Facebook announced some dramatic changes to its platform. But this time it's different. Why? Because the big social networks (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, and now Google) have traditionally battled over the social graph – your relationships in the digital world and how to help build and connect them, but now Facebook is laying claim to your life. Through its new Timeline feature that recaps in one fell swoop everything you've ever posted and lets you feature the highlights, along with its new apps that let you discover and share real-time experiences like watching movies and listening to music, Facebook is changing the social networking game. Of course you could argue that it was already acting as the online identity for many people, but this takes it to a whole new level.
This could also open up some big doors to marketers such as:

European marketers are as excited about social media today as ever before. In fact, according to our annual survey, three-quarters of interactive marketers in Europe either already use social media or plan to use it by the end of 2011 – and they expect social media marketing to grow in effectiveness more than any other online or offline marketing channel in the coming years. But there's a problem: European marketers still aren't spending very much on social programs. In fact, a quarter of the marketers in our survey plan to spend less than €35,000 on social media this year – and many of the rest won't spend much more than that. And most European marketers said they had no plans to increase their social media budget this year compared to last.
I think this lack of spending is both a symptom, and a cause, of problems inherent in how European marketers use social media:

One of the many interesting topics of discussion we get into in our Social Business Strategy workshops is around the social ecosystem. This is the name I have given the collection of business capabilities potentially enhanced by one or more social technologies.
First let me define social technologies. Note I'm using the word "technology" quite deliberately in place of the more common term "social media" because social media is too often associated with consumer-facing technology as deployed in support of marketing. In defining the entire social ecosystem I prefer the more generic "technology". I define social technology as "any technology that enables one-to-many communications in a public forum (or semi-public if behind a security firewall)".

Have you ever thought seriously about the future of business processes? If not, it's time to. With trends coming at us fast and furious — business transformation, the age of the customer, mobility, cloud, social, process outsourcing — processes of the future will look very different from how we work today.
Forrester is in the process (pardon the pun) of looking at business processes in 2020. We've interviewed 10 major thought leaders at large global organizations and a number of systems integrators and vendors in the BPM space. Wow, have we learned a lot from these deep thinkers! Many of the trends they identified are already being actively worked on in their companies — so these are not just pipe dreams — and include:

Title: AlphaDog, the Rough-Terrain Robot
Abstract: AlphaDog is a quadruped robot being developed with funding from DARPA's Legged Squad Support System program. The goal is to provide a machine that can carry 400 lbs of payload on 20-mile, 24-hour missions. It must have significant rough-terrain mobility, follow a human leader in natural outdoor terrain, be quiet (quieter than BigDog) and pick itself up whenever it falls. We began testing AlphaDog this past January 2012 and plan extensive field tests starting in the Fall. This talk will give a status report on AlphaDog and the other dynamic robots being developed at Boston Dynamics.

Burris Eliminator III Scope Review
For fun, I decided to try a string of shots while going back to get the target, so I shot 8 different times, at diminishing distances going back to the gong. By the time I was inside 750 yards, it was almost boring. Without hesitation, or a second thought, it was aim, range, compensate for drop and pull the trigger Bong goes the gong. Less than five years ago, my furthest shot was 548 yards with a 300 RUM and I thought I had to have the skill of a trained sniper to pull off that shot. With this scope and gun combination, any person with basic shooting skills can have marksman-like accuracy with little effort. Once sighted in, I shot a total of 54 rounds through my gun with the Eliminator III, all at an 18x16 3/8 AR 400 plate suspended 42 off the ground. None of the 54 rounds missed the plate, from ranges of 303 yards to 1166 yards. While I had the occasional overlapping impact, the base group was sub MOA or better, and some surprised me with how tight they were. The two touching at 1069 yards just a little right of the bulls-eye put a big grin on my face.
With all great products, there are always a few things that could be improved or some necessary accessories that you would like to see on the next model. The lines and look of the scope, while pleasing to me, was outright offensive to some of my shooting buddies. One friend said it was too ugly to mount on his high end custom rifle. If he had stayed around for the shooting accuracy of the scope, I feel he would have changed his mind. As previously mentioned, the scope really needs a level. The level needs to be built into the electronics and visible through the scope, or mounted on the scope itself. Without having a level, just a little cant left or right of the scope and rifle can result in large fluctuations in impact at long range. The general rule of thumb for most long range shooters for most cartridges and scope heights, is that for every 1 degree of cant, your point of impact is moved by 5 at 1000 yards. Thus if you have a 6 degree cant, your bullet can be 30 off target, and that is why having a level is so important. The only other fault I had with the scope is in the mounting instructions, but I know Burris has rectified that problem already. The directions they sent to me were very clear and easy to follow for proper scope installation on any platform. Once installed, programming the scope for your round is a 5 second process and is very easy.
We now carry these in the LRH Store.
-Len Backus-
I did take time to go deer hunting with an empty chamber, while the scope was still mounted on my 6x47. With storms moving all around, and rain threatening, the comfort and protection offered by one of my buddys octagon shooting houses was just the place to range and shoot deer. The accuracy and repeatability of the ranging aspect of the scope was impressive. With the gun on the bi-pod, and stock on a sand bag, I could range deer out past 700 yards on my first attempt with the Eliminator III. Even with my Leica 1200 in a homemade cradle and tripod, it took multiple attempts to range deer, and some in the high grass had different ranges from reflection and motion through the Leica. What I liked the most about the scope in a hunting situation is the speed and ease of use. If I glassed a target, I could immediately switch to the rifle, acquire the target in the crosshairs and range it, then move the amber dot to the point of impact I wanted and squeeze the trigger. On a moving deer or coyote, this all could be accomplished in less than a few seconds. With a handheld range finder, and manual adjusting scope, you would need to find the target and range it, take the range to your range card and adjust your scope for proper dope, re-acquire the target and get your rifle and scope on target and then shoot. This adds a considerable amount of time and lots more movement and always the chance for a mistake. I have been with more than one hunter that did not re-zero their turrets after a shot and missed a close shot or over adjusted for a longer shot, because they were not at zero to start. The Burris is always at zero, and the computer adjusts every time you range a target, so that is not an issue.
In my opinion, the Eliminator III is the scope of the future, and has set the bar for all electronic scopes. From the standpoint of some of my buddies, it is almost like cheating But I want one is what most of them have said to me after looking through the scope and engaging a target. What I liked most about the scope is that it takes so much human error out of the equation. There is no doping of the scope, so you dont have to worry about counting clicks, and once again returning to zero. Also, most drop charts are in increments of 25 yards. At long range, the drop of my 6x47 bullet from 1125 yards to 1150 yards is 29.7 in just 25 yards. Total drop at 1125 yards is 478.4 or 149 clicks, and the drop at 1150 is 508.1 or 155 clicks. Almost 30 inches in 25 yards is more than an inch per yard, so you will have to do a little hold over or hold under if your target is at 1141 yards. With the Eliminator III, it does not matter if the target is at any range, as it illuminates your point of sight, for the exact point of impact at any range.
Talking about the illuminated point of aim dot, it is very well thought out. It is an orange/amber color that is very visible but not distracting. Even in very low light conditions it is easy to see, but not over powering for the highest performance of the scope. I was happy to see the amber color, as red is color I have a hard time seeing, but green and amber are very visible to me. Perhaps, Burris will offer a changeable color for the display in future models, but the color they chose is the best all around from what I have experienced. Side by side with one of my Night Force NXS scopes, the light transmission was almost identical in the Eliminator III, but I feel I had I little better color and clarity definition in the NXS, but the Eliminator III was still able to perform until after legal shooting hours.
If you are in the market for a new scope for either your center fire or muzzle loader, you should give an honest look to the Burris Eliminator III. For the trip of a lifetime, it could be the difference in making the shot of a lifetime, or watching the shot walk away. For quick shooting past 400 yards, or muzzle loading adventures, I doubt there is a better option than the Eliminator for precision shooting in rapid fire situations. The Eliminator III gets you on target fast, compensates for drop and wind, and takes the guesswork out of making the shot of a lifetime. The Eliminator III can make the shot. Can you?

Muscat: Reference to Catholic Church should stay in the Constitution
Labour leader Joseph Muscat said this evening that a Labour government would make sure there was a clear separation between Church and state, based on respect and collaboration, but he did not personally believe that reference to the Roman Catholic religion should be removed from the Constitution.
Replying to questions during a televised press conference, Dr Muscat said the Roman Catholic religion should be retained in the Constitution since it was part of Malta's cultural heritage and the faith of the majority of the people.
Dr Muscat said ways of the distinction between church and state was the way how Church schools would be given more curriculum autonomy from the state set-up, and the clear distinction between civil and ecclesiastical marriage.
"The crucial point here is to recognise the realities that there are small communities that may not feel they have a bond with the Catholic religion," he said.
Dr Muscat made reference to the news of the resignation of Pope Benedict. He said the Church seemed to be going through a regeneration process.
"These are exciting times for this institution that will, no doubt, have international repercussions," he said.
Dr Muscat said the PL's electoral programme was a roadmap that would lead to economic growth.
When it was pointed out that the Labour energy plan timeframes were not included in the party's electoral programme, Dr Muscat insisted that the timeframes were part and parcel of the EU proposal. This meant having the power plant up and running within two years and slashing utility bills for families by next year.
A Labour government, he said, would hold talks with the EU on the funds allocated to Malta for energy. The new government, he said, would be prepared to continue plans for a gas pipeline, something which was far from a done deal under this government, he said.
On the police investigations into the oil procurement scandal, he said he had confidence in the Police Commissioner and did not want to say anything that would cast doubts on the police.
As for allegations that the PL was getting too close to businessmen, he said he met the same people who had met with the Prime Minister.
The difference was that the PL was willing to listen to everyone and would support those with good ideas, irrespective of their political beliefs.
He said that, if elected to government, his party would work with the Opposition towards economic growth and would "share the platform" of Malta's 2017 EU presidency.
Asked to comment on Anglu Farrugia and the comments made against him (Dr Muscat) by Dr Farrugia's mother in December, Dr Farrugia said those were the comments of a mother who was hurt, but he looked forward to working with Dr Farrugia once more.
The PL movement, he said, was the home of everyone, in contrast to the PN, which had been unable to resolve its internal problems - to the country's detriment.
Asked whether there had been a rapprochement with Dr Farrugia, Dr Muscat said that it was only in the past few days that Dr Farrugia accepted to represent the PL in a Commonwealth parliamentary conference in the Falklands.
Dr Muscat said Dr Farrugia had been informed in advance of his announcement on Sunday, and he looked forward to working with Dr Farrugia in the coming years.

Your FREE Guide to Profiting
From Asia's Explosive Growth
5 Chinese Stocks That Could Double Your Money in 2010
Because the yuan is pegged to the dollar, Chinese outsourcing becomes cheaper as the U.S. dollar falls. It's this dollar-based competitive advantage that has provoked Indian companies to slash costs and profit margins to remain competitive, especially in the tech sector. And Chinese companies now have responded by ramping up efforts to steal more business from Indian companies.
If you look closely, you can actually see the battle brewing with your own eyes simply by skimming the back pages of the financial section. There you'll see Indian companies rushing to buy stakes in Chinese companies, while Chinese companies are countering the move by spending nearly $35 billion in M&A activity — all in hopes of grabbing a bigger piece of the outsourcing pie.
This virtual outsourcing arms race will put powerful upward pressure on the stock prices of companies that give U.S. and European companies what they want faster, better and cheaper than the competition.
Here are five companies poised to prevail in this global battle for customers and profits.

9/52 "Framed"
I've been loving our weather the last week. We've gotten outside to play and enjoy the fresh air and I lucked out on this weeks challenge when I took this yesterday while one of the kids searched for a missing screw driver that was on the other side of the fence. Who knew my dandelion (shot through the fence) was going to work as my "framed" shot. I think it works quite well.
I stumbled on a website on textures and have been playing with them. Thank you Kim Klassen for inspiring me to keep at it.

Ryan-Cake Smash!
I have been wanting to do a cake smash in forever. Ryan finally turned 1 and we had a blast. Funny how kids usually have no problems getting dirty...he really wanted nothing to do with the cake. And unfortunately for momma, he liked to walk to her with the bright blue icing. :) Next time I will offer the high chair as an option to try to contain the "walkers". ;)

8/52 Game On
I am caught up on my weeks! Whoo Hoo! I had been thinking about doing this shot for a while and have seen some others with dice, so I might have to do another one with the guys play a game of farkle. But I have the main one done, so I'm happy!
The "trust" factor was pretty high that the kid would catch the ball while I was laying right under it. He came close a couple of times!

Park day...
...with the sicky. Although he didn't act sick and "technically" could have gone back to school after 10am, when he'd been on the medicine for 24hrs, but he wasn't having any of that! (And his doctors note said tomorrow, he said.) We were going to the park because it was so nice out...or that's what I was told at least. :) This dog is as crazy as the kid. She would put the ball in the drain, watch it start floating and then run over to the other side.
Ball In
Ball Out
And once she was done...
Someone was a bit muddy...good thing it was warm enough to hose her off!

7/52 Pretty Ugly (find beauty in the unexpected)
Sickness has struck again and I'm a day late...but...I am closer to catching up! I was struggling with "pretty ugly" and was going to go with some trash in the ditch that I saw, but the light was so pretty, I decided to go another way. So my pretty ugly is the bare, boring winter trees that are missing their leaves in the pretty setting sunlight. I can also throw in that my "pretty" boy has an "ugly" case of strep. :( And after the nurse said "no school tomorrow because you've got to be on the antibiotic's for 24hrs", he "perked" right up. Although the look of horror might have crossed my face. ;) At least he's on the mend and will be back to just being "pretty" soon enough.
He's got "tired" eyes.

I Love You like a Bug
We've never been big on Valentine's day. It's just something we've never been hung up over. It's one day. As long as you show your love EVERY DAY, I think Valentine's is just an over priced Hallmark holiday. :) And my biggest pet peeve...don't buy me a card. Really. I don't need material things to know that you love me. My idea of a great gift...getting my hair done...which is what I spent Valentine's doing. I go so long between hair cuts that's it is a treat for me not to have to hack on my bangs. ;) So imagine my surprise when I came home to this...
Which is funny in itself, because that meant he had to go into the store HIMSELF to buy them. "Mr Social" does not like going to the store...FOR ANYTHING! :)
This isn't the greatest picture, but I love the bokeh & colors.
And I did receive a card...my FAVORITE kind of card to receive!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's day, no matter how you chose to celebrate it.

6/52 "Chaos"
I'm still playing catch up on my weeks, but hopefully I'll get this weeks picture done on time...I can hope at least. I think this one qualifies as "chaos" as he was wearing my pink jacket, his Packer's hat and black gloves. The conversation went something like this... 11 yr old: Is that a North Face jacket? (My name brand kid) Me: No, it's from Kohls. 11yr old: it looks like a North Face jacket. Me: It's not, but it's really warm...you want to wear it? 11 yr old: Heck yea! Me: It's pink, are you sure? 11yr old: I don't care, it's fuzzy and warm. Me: Ok...so glad my kids are not afraid to go with the flow. :)

Camera phone
Sickness has taken hold, but I'm finally coming back to life. The weather was lovely yesterday, so I took the dog on a walk to get some fresh air...she apparently had more fun than I did! I'm glad I had my phone on me, because this was priceless! I finally upgraded my cellphone since my last one was a piece of #*%*#&% and I was rather impressed with the picture quality...video was a little shaky, but you can't have everything. ;)
Someone needed to be hosed off!
She keeps looking at me like she EXPECTS me to come help her! THAT wasn't happening! :)
