Winona Republican-Herald, The (Newspaper) - July 25, 1952, Winona, Minnesota Cloudy, Cooler Tonight; Fair, Cooler Saturday VOLUME 52, NO. 135 Receive Your Paper At Your Vacation 3321 WINONA, MINNESOTA, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1952 SIXTEEN PAGfS No Victor on 1st Democratic Ballot TODAY Democrats Think They Can Win By JOSEPH and STEWART ALSOP CHICAGO these words are the ritual clamor of the nominating speeches fills the Con- vention Hall.- Perhaps this is a good time, before the final out- come, to note an extremely signifi- cant fact. The Democrats think they will win this election. In a queer way, the Democratic atmosphere this time is reminis- cent of the Republican atmosphere in 1948. There is the same assur- ance, the same bland disregard of the common mischance and mis- fortunes of politics. There is also the same tendency, one must add, to underrate the opposition. In 1948, the Republicans thought any Chinaman could lick Truman, and the great ar- gument was about which Chi- naman would receive the as- signment. In the same fash- ion among the Democrats here in Chicago in 1952, only a very few wise and seasoned opera- tors seem to be able to bear in mind the great popular strength and potent personal- ity of Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hower. The rest of these Democrats re- member only that they overesti- mated the general's campaigning magic in the days before Abilene. They now appear to count on him to spend the entire election cam- paign with his foot in his mouth, talking, so to speak, through his toes. In the humble opinion of these reporters, this is a mood and these are expectations dangerous to any party. None the less, the Democratic confidence of -victory has greatly helped so far. It is the real expla- nation of the rather successful compromise of the civil rights is- sue which has been arranged here. It was something of a triumph for the Democrats to bring ev- eryone but the Virginians, Louisi- anans and South Carolinians into the same corral. Before the convention open- ed, there was far more bitter- ness and far more belligeren- cy, both in North and South, than there was four years ago. The Northern civil rights ad- vocates were all but ready to expel the South from the par- ty, because of the record of the Southerners in the conserv- ative coalition in Congress. By the same token, the Southern- ers, filled with hatred of Pres- ident Truman, were all but prepared to take a walk. When they all got together here, however, they found that they were bound together by unexpectedly strong ties of common interest. If they had thought the election was going to go against them both sides would have, kept at each others' throats. The temptation to indulge their real feelings would have been too strong. Instead, with aD the fruits of victory piled up, as it were upon the table in the Plat- form Committeeroom, both sides restrained their emotions lest the hoped-for feast be snatched away from them. The true atmosphere was typified by an incident early in the hag- gling, when Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas leaned across the table to Sen. Herbert Lehman of New York, and said, "You fellows have got to help us." To this Lehman replied, "Well, you fellows have got to help us too." This spirit, plus the intervention of President Truman to prevent an open break over the loyalty rule, produced the eventual rather peaceful result. The true James F. Byrnes of South Car- olina, Sen. Harry Byrd of Vir- ginia and the more fiery spirits of Americans for Dem- ocratic Action were aban- doned by their respective ar- mies. W. Averell Harriman, whose candidacy stood to gain greatly by a no-holds-barred civil rights fight, thought first of his party and of his candi- dacy second. And all but the Southern extremists were able to reach a workable accommo- dation of view. The prospect of relative Demo- cratic unity unquestionably im- proves the Democratic chance of victory. To this, any honest ob- server who has attended, both the great conventions must add one further point. Although the Dem- ocratic party has grown pretty old and pretty raddled in 20 years of office, it has still managed to look more vigorous, at least on the surface, than the Republican party. Certainly this is mainly because the old guardsmen controlled the Republican arrangements. Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy was the most important political newcomer the old guard summoned to the Repub- lican podium. With almost no ex- ceptions, the old guard orators struck only three for the past, hatred of the present, and uneasy fear of the future. Balloons And State Standards are raised in front of speaker's rostrum at Democratic National Convention Thursday night in Chicago during demonstration for Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota.

This is going to be a little hard to explain. Motions were made, and then motions to table the original motion, or some other, somehow got into the works. Once, the roll call of states was going along nicely, and was about half-way down the list when a delegate arose and asked, "Mr. Chairman, will you tell us what I we are voting It was a good question, and it seemed to startle some of the dele- i gations that already had cast I Plenty of Confusion Rep. Sam Rayburn of Texas, a short, compact man with a shiny bald pate and an air of infinite patience, was gavelling the pro- cedings. In Washington, Rayburn presides over the House of Repre- sentatives. Hence, he knows his way around in Robert's Rules of Order. But this Truman Flies To Convention without use of Act they are Himself Again By WARREN ROGERS JR. CHICAGO The ball is over today for the Democratic National Convention's political Cinderella. He can take off his mask and be just plain Thomas J. Gavin, coun- cilman of Kansas City', Mo. For almost a week he has been acting as two other people. When it came time for Missouri to ballot, he cast one-half vote for delegate Harry S. Truman of In- dependence, Mo., President .of the United States. His VIP-type badge hung heavily on his chubby chest. It was en- graved, "Dean G. Acheson, secre- tary of state." That was so he could waltz with ense about the jam-packed Convention Hall. Neither the real Truman nor the real Acheson was at the conven- tion. They were in Washington. Thus, alternate delegate Gavin- wearing the official colors. of the one and the open-sesame badge of the other floated on a cloud of glory for four days. His biggest moment came yes- terday. He ended a long guessing game, heightened since the con- vention opened Monday: For whom would President Tru- man vote in the selection of the party's 1952 presidential nominee today? At a Missouri caucus Gavin gave the answer. But not right away. He stalled, talking about other things, when 'the delegation was polled, then announced: time, he had to turn to the convention parliamentarian, Rep. Clarence Cannon of Missouri, to find out just where they were. On two other occasions, Rayburn either forgot, or deliberately loiter- ed, in announcing the results of roll call votes. By the time they were finished, the convention was voting on something else, entirely. In the middle of all this, a fire started, down near South Carolina was a hot delegation, any- a panicky voice blared out over the P.A, system. "Don't get panicky. It's only a newspaper burning." Some of the political writers thought he said "newspaperman" and began preparing bulletins and obituaries. South Dakota walked out, at one point, or appeared to, but nobody could determine exactly whether the whole delegation went or just the man with the state placard. Anyway, by the time the next roll call began, there was South Dakota, right in there again, pitching votes. WASHINGTON Truman flies to is expected to be the concluding session of the Democratic National Convention today with the air of a happy man. An agreement pointing to the end of the prolonged steel strike dan- gled from his belt. He could tell fellow Democrats tonight that the victory was won the Taft-Hartley pledged to repeal. And with Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois a heavy favorite for his party's presidential nomination, there were indications Truman may be able to boast he had picked a winner there, too. The President announced his support of Stevenson through a White House announcement while nominations were under way yes- terday and his aides are saying that Stevenson has been Truman's choice ever since the President re- moved himself as a possible candi- date for re-election. Truman leaves Washington at 1 p.m., EST, aboard the White House plane, The Independence, for the 2V4 hour flight to Chicago's Muni- cipal Airport, He will go directly to his suite in the Blackstone Hotel, to remain un- til 6 p.m. when he goes to a pri- vate dinner party. From there he will walk over to the convention to voice his support of the new ticket. He plans a real "give 'em hell" campaign talk to the delegates, with a promise to stump anywhere in the country the new nominee and the National Committee re- quests his service. After turning over the Demo- cratic standard to its new bearer he plans to fly to Missouri Satur- day to remain at his home in In- dependence until he votes in the state Democratic primary Aug. 5. Mrs. Truman is accompanying the President to Chicago. Names of 11 Put Before Convention Demonstrations Take Most of Afternoon CHICAGO Here are some of the words with which 11 names were placed in nomination before the Democratic convention: Richard Russell (by Sen. Walter George of "The ablest candidate in the race a man physically qualified, mentally qual- ified and emotionally qualified for the presidency." Estes Kefauver (by Gov. Gordon Browning of Tennessee) "Cer- tainly possessed of a mandate from the American people to be the Democratic nominee for Pres- ident." Robert Kerr (by Rep.

It was, he said, "the President's choice." At the convention today he got a chance to carry out his intentions. He or rather, President Truman can vote for Adlai E.

(AP Wirephoto to The Republican-Herald) Steel Strike Over, Work Next Week By ROWLAND EVANS JR. WASHINGTON longest, costliest steel strike in American history in effect is over. Production is expected to resume next week. The striking CIO Steelworkers Union was considered virtually certain today to ratify a strike-ending agreement reached at the White House after President Truman personally a settlement. It was not a clear cut victory for anyone union, industry, or the government. There was give and take on all sides. The end of the crippling, 53-day strike was announced late yester- day by the President himself, who said CIO President Philip Murray and U.S. Steel Chairman Benjamin man among the j Fajrlejs' <.have reached agree- distinguished names you will con sider can better fulfill the hopes and aspirations of that vast silent body of citizens who have no advocate."

Chairman Orvillrf L. Freeman of the Minnesota delegation shouts for recognition by the chair to challenge right of three southern states, Louisiana, Virginia and South Carolina, to be in- cluded in roll call because they had not signed new party loyalty pledge. Freeman was on his feet when Louisiana was called on nomination roll call and yielded to Virginia at the Democratic convention in Chicago. (AP Wirephoto to The Republican-Herald) of Fairless, it was reliably learned, plans to make a personal appear- ance before this committee in a dramatic move aimed at wiping out any bitterness. The union .in- vited him to 'make a short talk to the group after a closed session during which actual ratification of the agreement was scheduled. At best it will be four or five days before any substantial pro- duction steel is reached. It takes that long to heat up the banked blast furnaces which stand by workers have kept alive ever since the strike started June 2, The new steel which colnes out of some 380 struck plants will sell for at least a ton more than before the strike started. A few minutes after Truman's dramatic announcement the gov- ernment approved a price in- crease of that amount for raw, or carbon, steel. Specialized, alloy steel will get a boost a ton. Cosf-of-Living Boost Some officials have predicted that such a boost would increase the cost of living, already at an all-time high. The price increase, ironically enough, was the price increase Charles E. Wilson, as defense mobilizer, had said the industry should get to compensate for high- er wage costs. Wilson said he thought he had presidential ap- proval for an over-ceiling boost but Price Stabili2er Ellis Arnall refused to go along and said that as long as he was price boss the industry would not get more than the allowed under the Cape- hart Amendment to the controls law. Truman stuck with Arnall, and Wilson resigned in a huff. He wrote the President, "You changed the plan we agreed upon." No wage or other terms were announced at yesterday's White House session, but it was reliably learned the agreement includes these A wage boost of 16 cents an hour for basic steelwork- ers; a highly modified form of union shop which allows present non-union members to stay out and gives new employes a 15-day es- cape period during their first month of employment; six paid holidays; three weeks vacation after 15 years service; a two-year contract dating from last June 30, with a wage reopener next June 30.

Previously Connecticut had switch- ed its 16 votes from McMahon to Stevenson. By JACK BELL CONVENTION HALL, Chicago (jfV- A multiple-ballot battle over the Democratic presidential nomi-' nation developed today as it be- came apparent that no candidate could win the prize on the first count. Barring last minute switches, which seemed unlikely, Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois. Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee and Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia headed for a tieup on the first ballot with none of them with- in striking distance of the 615H votes-needed for victory. With the first count progressing slowly in this suddenly quiet am- phitheater, there were indications that Stevenson was developing the strength that might carry him to a later nomination unless his op- ponents could combine against him quickly. As an indication of what might happen on the second roll call, Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minne- sota announced he was releasing his "favorite son" vote in that state. Humphrey, who has said he would be glad to see Stevenson nominated, told reporters he ex- pected the 26-vote group to split its support among the Illinois governor, Kefauver and W. Averell Harriman of New York. The potential Stevenson strength looked so large there was talk that Harriman soon might topple out of the race and attempt to throw his support to Kefauver. James Roosevelt of California said the Tennessee'ai's showing had demonstrated that the draft Steven- son move "has now been proved to be completely synthetic." Michigan delegates voted in caucus to cast their 40 votes for Kefauver on the second ballot. They went to Gov. Mennea Wil- liams on the first ballot. But in deciding to go for Ke- fauver on the second, they left themselves free to switch else- where if they want to. Sen. Richard B. Russell of Geor- gia told a television audience short- ly before the balloting began that he was "confident" he would get the nomination. He said he would be glad to have Stevenson for a vice-presidential running mate. Russell's lieutenant had set a 2S5 vote goal on the first ballot- He conceded privately that the Georgian can't go much beyond votes are needed for lit: the there are unexpected developments. There was considerable belief in the Russell camp that the Geor- gia senator might fry to throw his strength to Vice-President Alben W. Barkley if Russell became-con- vinced he couldn't win. Barkley, a surprise entry after an earlier withdrawal, might de- velop into Stevenson's chief rival, in that case. Nevertheless, the Stevenson bandwagon was rolling along swift- ly and Sen. Francis Myers of Pennsylvania, Stevenson's floor manager, told a reporter: 'We'll make it on the second or third ballot." President Truman will speak from notes in addressing the con- vention at 8 p. m. (Winona Time) tonight. He is at his oratorical best when he is not reading from a prepared text. There was a flurry of excitement a half hour before Truman de- parted from Washington. The nose wheel tire went flat for some un- known reason. It was quickly re- paired. Earlier today Jack Kroll, CIO political action director, asked all CIO member-delegates at the De- mocratic convention to vote for Gov. Stevenson. t ;

News of Nelson Mandela's Death Saddens Upstate Student, Faculty
As the news of former South African President Nelson Mandela's death began to spread, several members of the USC Upstate community felt the impact.
Retired English professor Emmanuel Seko first met Mandela in 1954. Mandela was a young lawyer practicing in Johannesburg and Seko was a young man. Seko said he remembered Mandela telling him, "South Africa has a long way to go. We have to see to it that South Africa is liberated."
"He saved South Africa," Seko said. "He avoided a bloody civil war and a racial revolution that would have engulfed the whole nation."
After finishing college, Seko said things in South Africa were "very bad," and he moved to Nigeria.
"It was impossible for a black man to be anything in South Africa," Seko said. "You carried a passbook with you your whole life. They would stop you, ask you questions. They could do anything to you. You could disappear and your family would never know. It was a horrible system."
Seko said that was when he learned there were two graduations for every South African. He said the first was to graduate from the apartheid system.
In Nigeria, Seko befriended members of the Peace Corps and was encouraged to come to the United States. He would complete his doctoral degree at the University of Wisconsin, before moving to Spartanburg in 1973 to begin work at USC Upstate, which was then USC-Spartanburg, retiring in 2002.
Seko said he became an American citizen and never considered returning to his home country.
Sophomore business administration major Malika Allie of Cape Town, South Africa, said she grew up in complete democracy because of Mandela.
Allie, a member of the USC Upstate women's golf team, said that she was shocked when she learned of his death Thursday night.
"I knew he was older and very sick, but it's hard to believe he is actually gone," Allie said. "He was a true hero to all South Africans and an inspiration to the world."
Allie said her grandparents had moved to England during apartheid. Allie, who was born in England, moved to South Africa when she was 5. She said her life would have been very different, had it not been for Mandela.
"Different races were not allowed to do anything together before the apartheid," Allie said. "You couldn't go to the same beach or the same schools. Equality was much more evident in South Africa after 1994 and it was because of him."
Allie said she spoke to her mother briefly Friday morning. She said her mom had awakened to the news of Mandela's death and that she too was shocked.
"It is a very sad day for South Africans," Allie said. "He played a key role in our freedom."
Allie said Mandela was an inspiration to many because even after his 27-year imprisonment, he was able to forgive those who had oppressed him.
"He was seen as an excellent leader who stood up for freedom," Allie said. "It is amazing to see that he played a key role in lives all around the world. It's wonderful to see the love that people have for him not only in South Africa, but worldwide."
Douglas Jackson, senior instructor of Spanish at USC Upstate, said that Mandela was one of the reasons he became a Peace Corps Volunteer in Africa in the '90s.
"Africa seemed to me to be forgotten by the United States and Europe," Jackson said. "Genocide in Rwanda, apartheid in South Africa, war in Angola, famine in Ethiopia all lead me to want to do something for Africa. I applied to the Peace Corps to do something about it. Nelson Mandela taught me that diversity is the solution to adversity."
Jackson said, in addition to Mandela, he had the opportunity to learn from African leaders such as Bishop Desmond Tutu and Amilcar Cabral. He said they helped become a giver, and not a taker.
"Our society has too many people who want and way too many who need," Jackson said. "The few of us that believe in the responsibility to serve others as a privilege make a difference in everyone's lives. Community service is the greatest gift anyone can give. Giving your time is better than giving treasure! Mandela taught me this."
Dr. Colleen O'Brien, an associate professor of Early American Literature, was a Fulbright fellow in 1991 in Botswana. She had chosen Botswana instead of South Africa because there was still an intellectual boycott against South Africa. Her primary research field had been about the anti-apartheid movement.
Mandela was at the forefront of the struggle against apartheid, which used state violence and repressive laws to segregate and oppress South Africa's black majority.
While O'Brien did not have the opportunity to work directly with Mandela during her research, she did have the opportunity to hear him speak in Philadelphia a few years later.
"I felt a bit like many Americans probably felt 50 years ago, when they heard of the Kennedy assassination, when I heard about President Mandela's passing," O'Brien said. "He was one of the most remarkable people the world will ever see.

Every inter-faith organization in Britain has his name in a place of honour as a member, founder or chairman. His work in building bridges between the communities of different cultural traditions has been exemplary. But it is in his writing that he manifests his warmth and true understanding of the "Other". In the present political climate in Europe and the USA, the writings of the Rev. Marcus Braybrooke are acts of courage inspired by his unbounded humanity and fellow feelings for all humankind. This volume is a scholars presentation of Islam to the West by a westerner. He outlines those areas of agreements as well as those in which our faiths differ. He took great care in consulting references in order to dispel some of the misinterpretations of Islam. His sympathetic approach should alert the western reader to look afresh into a greatly maligned faith. He writes about Islam with the humility of the seeker of the truth.
Does not the title of the book and its beautifully written contents clearly underline this outstanding quality of the book and its author?
I hope that his example will inspire a Muslim to write on what we Muslims can learn from Christians.

"Our world of Diversity": Stories on inclusive education
SARAJEVO, Bosnia & Hercegovina, 16 September 2011 - In order to feed into discussions and decision-making about quality inclusive education for all children, UNICEF and the Association "Društvo ujedinjenih građanskih akcija – Duga" collected a series of real-life stories "Our World of Diversity" about experiences and lessons learned from children, parents, teachers and professionals. Children together with their parents and teachers from several cities of Bosnia and Herzegovina participated in book launching event in Sarajevo today.
In this storybook, each of the children depicted has special needs and, like any other child, each and every one of them has the right to have their needs understood, acknowledged and addressed. "In this book, we talk about inclusion from the perspective of skills and possibilities, through human stories that illustrate what can really be achieved through inclusion." – said UNICEF Representative, Florence Bauer. "Over the last decade, UNICEF has been promoting quality inclusive education in Bosnia & Herzegovina (BiH) to meet the needs of every child, with a special focus on the most vulnerable children." – stressed Ms Bauer.
These stories are told by children, parents, teachers, and professionals, among which Association "Duga", an organization which actively promotes inclusion in BiH for years. "Over the years of work we gained special experience and maturity. Looking back, with this experience we might have done some things differently, but overall I think we have a successful process behind. I think we have brought a new energy into the system; I hope it will continue to develop positively and that no child will ever be marginalized." says Anka Izetbegović, Executive Director of Association "Duga".
This book brings to life stories of children who have now enjoyed opportunities many other children have never had before. Darko from Višegrad dreams of leaving for Mexico and working in a restaurant. Avdo, a child artist, plans to launch his artistic career in Sanski Most. In Sarajevo, Lana, an elementary school graduate, hopes to enroll herself in Secondary Musical School and become a pianist. They managed to express themselves, a success attributable to their inclusion in regular education and to the valuable support received from their local community. These children are now well on their way to realise their dreams.
Stories were written in municipalities that participated in the Programme "Enhancing the Social Protection and Inclusion System for Children in BiH - SPIS". With the slogan "For Every Child", UNICEF gathered government partners, local communities and civil society to improve social protection and inclusion systems for children. With support from the European Union, the Government of Norway and DFID, this programme contributed to systems and policies for the protection of the most vulnerable children.
"Reading stories from this book helped me to remember why is the European Union active in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Children are one of the most important motives for our work, as they are future citizens of Europe. Children have the right to live in the world without prejudice and discrimination and in the world that respects all their rights." – said Head of the EU Delegation's Section for Social Development, Civil Society and Cross-Border Cooperation, Natalia Dianiskova.

1972: A Novel of Ireland's Unfinished Revolution
by Morgan Llywelyn
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Continuing about a decade after the conclusion of 1949, 1972 contines the Halloran family saga from Barry's point of view. Inspired by the stories his grandfather Ned had told him, the history of Ireland, and his mother's politics, Barry joins the IRA. He loves the comraderie of the army but the violence of the organization eventually leads him to try and find more peaceful solutions to the problem and he eventually becomes known for his photographs of the tragic situation. Meanwhile in Northern Ireland, inspired by the American Civil Rights movement the ordinary Catholics also try to find a peaceful solution. The movement was really gaining headway until that was all destroyed on an April day in 1972 when the British military herded a peace march into a warren of tiny streets and opened fire, with an order to shoot to kill. This day was immediately christened Bloody Sunday.
This is one of the best books in the series. While 1949 suffered from a lack of depth in the characterization of Ursala and those people who surrounded her, Barry was a wonderfully realized three dimensional character. As in the first three books, the knowledge and passion Llywelyn has for the Irish problem is vast. At times she almost seemed to devolve into a lecturing tone but before it could get too bad she would return to the storyline. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in modern history, or even those who just want to understand the meaning behind U2's song "Sunday Bloody Sunday."
1972 is a story of the IRA from the 1950s to the beginning of the troubles as seen through the experience of Barry Halloran, an IRA volunteer and the grandson of an iconic republican and IRA man. Barry goes on active service in "the army" at 17 and later becomes a bomb expert –with scruples however. He doesn't want his bombs to kill anyone.
When the IRA is dormant he becomes a photographer and graduates from Trinity College. Barry is settling down to a more normal life and is about to get married when he goes to Derry to photograph the peaceful demonstration that turns into Bloody Sunday. The book ends with the question of whether the horrible experience of witnessing the massacre first hand is enough to propel Barry back into active service.
With Ned off fighting for the Republic and Henry living in America, it is up to Ursula Halloran to take up the story of Ireland and her struggles for freedom in this newest edition to the Irish Century series.
After two years at a Swiss finishing school, Ursula arrives back at the home of Louise Hamilton determined to get a job at a radio station and become more heavily involved in Ireland's quest to become a Republic.
Read the rest of the review on my blog: https://shouldireaditornot.wordpress.com/2015/02/18/1949-a-novel-of-the-irish-free-state-morgan-llywelyn/
Not sure what to say about this one as the subject matter is so heartbreaking. This is the fourth book of a five book series that started with the Easter Rising in 1916 and concludes with the final book in 1999. I ripped through the first three books five years ago but then had to wait for the remaining ones to be published. As usual with Morgan's books, she is very thorough in the details of the background for her historical fiction, and I am learning more than I want too about the tragedy of mine own people. Hopefully knowledge is power but this is tragic knowledge. But the series has been a great read so far.
1972 continues Llywelyn's Irish Century series, begun with 1916. Much like the first three novels in this five-part series, Llywelyn intersperses the Halloran family story with well researched events from Irelands turbulent history. The parallel history provides 'mile-markers' for the broader historical context as the Halloran story continues. In "1972", Llywelyn seems to allow the historical to take the lead over the fictional; a trend which continues and increases in 1999, the last in the series. This makes for a complete and thorough telling of the story, but may not be as satisfying to readers who are less interested in history as they are in just hearing a good tale. "1972" has both, but the balance is shifted towards the factual.
This is primarily the story of Barry Halloran, the son of Ursula Halloran and heir to Ned Halloran's IRA allegience. But, be warned, this novel will draw you into Barry's life, and, once there, you will have to read the next book before most of the ghosts are laid to rest. As with the other novels in this series, Llywelyn demonstrates her storytelling abilities. The author creates engaging characters who move in and out of fascinating historical events. If you are a history buff, you'll enjoy every bit of this; if not, a little patience and you'll still enjoy the Halloran family story.

The Irish Century series is the narrative of the epic struggle of the Irish people for independence through the tumultuous twentieth century. Morgan Llywelyn's magisterial multi-novel chronicle of that story began with 1916, continued in 1921 and 1949 and now continues with 1972.
In 1972, Morgan Llywelyn tells the story of Ireland from 1950-1972 as seen through the eyes of young Barry Halloran, son and grandson of Irish revolutionaries. Northern Ireland has become a running sore, poisoning life on both sides of the Irish border. Following family tradition, at eighteen Barry joins the Irish Republican Army to help complete what he sees as 'the unfinished revolution'.
But things are no longer as clear cut as they once were. His first experience of violence in Northern Ireland shocks and disturbs him. Yet he has found a sense of family in the Army which is hard to give up. He makes a partial break by becoming a photographer, visually documenting events in the north rather than physically taking part in them. An unhappy early love affair is followed by a tempestuous relationship with Barbara Kavanagh, a professional singer from America. Events lead Barry into a totally different life from the one he expected, yet his allegiance to the ideal of a thirty-two county Irish republic remains undimmed as the problems, and the violence, of Northern Ireland escalate. Then Barry finds himself in the middle of the most horrific event of all: Bloody Sunday in Derry, 1972.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:22:33 -0400)
Barry Halloran finds his patriotic involvement with the IRA challenged by his newfound aversion to weapons, a belief he is forced to act upon in the face of escalating Irish Catholic oppression that culminates in the Bloody Sunday conflict.

which rear end will fit?
hi. i have an 82 longbox V8 s-10 and im looking for some lower gears for better off the line performance. right now it is the stock 3.42's and i think a set of 3.73's would be ideal for me but i dont know how to go about getting them. im thinking it will just be cheaper to go to the junkyards and get a complete rear end with the gears i want and just swap them over but i dont know what rear ends will bolt right up and what will have the 3.73's i want. i would also like to get something a little stronger if i can since if im going through the trouble i dont want to grenade the gears in no time because of the v8 under the hood.posi or limited slip would also be preffered but ill settle for a one wheel wonder. anybody know what vehicles would have a rear end with these gears that would bolt right up with little or no mods??? thanks

Congressman Jerry Moran issued the following statement today in response to remarks made by President Obama on immigration.
"President Obama's rhetoric doesn't match his actions when it comes to securing the border," Moran said. "Despite the need for more personnel along the border with Mexico, President Obama is only sending 1,200 National Guard troops. More troops and Border Patrol agents are needed to stop violence along the border and protect Americans."
"I also disagree with the President's support for the DREAM Act. The federal government must enforce our laws and not reward illegal behavior," said Moran.
Moran is a sponsor of the leading border security bill in Congress, H.R. 3308, the Secure America through Verification and Enforcement or SAVE, Act. This legislation will strengthen border security by hiring additional Border Patrol agents and making use of technology to monitor and protect our national boundaries

Cause of Building's Partial Collapse Not Yet Determined
The Thanksgiving Day partial collapse of the back wall and interior of 1424 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W., remains unexplained as experts from the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs investigated the scene. The adjacent stores at 1422 and 1426 were also effected by the collapse. No one was in the closed stores at the time.
At first, onlookers believed the Nov. 24 afternoon incident was an explosion because of the blown-out windows and a gas odor from leaking pipes. After D.C. Fire and EMS waited for Washington Gas to turn off the gas, firefighters searched and secured the buildings. There had been neither an explosion nor a fire.
Major, the sneaker and clothes shop at 1426 Wisconsin Ave., remains closed "until further notice." The old Commander Salamander at 1420 was already vacant. As for the property in question – at 1424 Wisconsin Ave. – it had been talked about as the future site for a new Z Burger outlet. Recent renovation work at the property – now condemned – hints at a possible cause of the collapse, but the large debris needs to be removed for closer inspection.

The future of CouchDB is Apache CouchDB.
Cloudant over the past 3 years has built and refined BigCouch, a fault-tolerant, horizontally scalable clustering framework purpose-built for CouchDB. Today we announce our intent to contribute this work back to the community. Working with the ASF and the CouchDB community, we hope to integrate the core capabilities of BigCouch into Apache CouchDB. Hopefully this will put to rest the tired (and false) "CouchDB doesn't scale" meme. BigCouch forms the bedrock of a globally distributed, sophisticated technology stack that we've had in production operation for over two years at scale.
Those of you building applications with CouchDB know that its performance has been improving by leaps and bounds. We've achieved this through low-level implementations of performance-critical routines and smart refactoring of the Erlang codebase, but without sacrificing the rock-solid durability and stable REST API people have come to expect from CouchDB. The growing community of active committers includes passionate, stellar developers. More and more people are using CouchDB for projects, big and small, every day.
We, along with a host of other companies, strongly support the open source community in building CouchDB and we do not plan on stopping. We have been fortunate in our ability to attract outstanding engineers, investors, and customers. We intend to continue devoting resources to Apache CouchDB and offer our help in any way the community desires. The future of CouchDB is CouchDB.
Damien Katz has been an excellent founder and steward of CouchDB. It's been an honor to work with him, and we wish him well in his new location and mission.

Weiner and Staff Lace Up Sneakers
Representative Anthony Weiner's (who represent the west end of Rockaway and parts of Brooklyn in the U.S. House of Representatives) is gonna lace up his sneakers and take a big step for women's sports this week. And his entire staff is going to do it with him by participating in Sneaker Day, a national initiative designed to raise funds for women's sports and exercise programs.
"Everybody knows how important it is for kids to get the healthy exercise playing sports provides. The problem is that girls and women are a lot less likely to be physically active than boys the same age," Weiner recently told reporters. For that reason, the Women's Sports Foundation established "Sneaker Day," a day in which participating employers allow their female employees to come to work in comfortable sneakers, in return for a $5 donation to be used for women's sports and education programs. According to Weiner, it's a fun, simple way to help girls get into healthy habits and make sure that exercise becomes a life long endeavor.
Weiner and his entire staff will participate in Sneaker Day on Friday.
"My mother always told me not to wear sneakers with my suit but, in this case, I think she'll understand," said Rep. Weiner. "If it's going to help girls get healthy my entire office is going to just do it, and I hope other workplaces throughout the City will join us."
Sneaker Day is a national initiative of the Women's Sports Foundation, and is spearheaded locally by the New York Women's Agenda, a collaboration of over 100 local women's organizations.

Finding the right car loan for you is as hard as finding the right car in the first place. Unless you've been saving for years for your car, or you have perfect credit history, you're going to find it difficult to find the right deal for you.
Every car loan is different: they can be obtained from banks, car dealerships, private lenders or online institutions. It really is a jungle out there when it comes to car loans. Forethought and caution is always advisable, as is following advice from those who have already gone through the maelstrom before you.
1. Comb the Internet for the best deals
If your credit history isn't ideal and you're finding it hard to get financing from your bank or the car dealership you're getting your vehicle from, the internet is your answer. There are a wide variety of online financial institutions that can lend you money relatively quickly and without any queuing and hassle.
You should exercise some caution when dealing with online financial institutions, as some of them aren't legitimate companies and are only out there to scam you. Of course, there are plenty of reputable ones.
2. Go with your bank for lucrative extras
Your bank can be very helpful when it comes to getting out a car loan. Often, they have deals with particular car dealerships. If this is the case with your bank, you may be able to get a better deal. Alternatively, your bank will be able to advise if they think you're paying too much for your car.
In terms of extras, they will sometimes throw in life insurance or disability insurance in with the loan.
3. Do your homework and negotiate
By doing all your research months in advance, as well as knowing exactly how much money you want to spend, this knowledge will come in handy when you're bargaining with salespersons at the dealership.
If you don't have the power of knowledge on your side, you'd be walking into the dealership like a lamb to the slaughter. It's important to stand your ground and be able to negotiate well, rather than succumb to their high-pressure tactics when they're about to close the deal.
4. Go online and then come back to the dealership
If you really want to go with the dealership because you're attracted to the extras they're willing to throw in (like maintenance and servicing deals) you could always go online to find cheaper loans for the same car
After you've printed out other alternatives, take them back to the dealership and try and negotiate with them. If they see that you're serious about getting the best possible deal, they might be willing to bend slightly.

Date of Stay: June, 2012
Beautiful park. Great for bike riding or walking. Very convenient to restaurants and Walmart. The only negative: there is no Wi-Fi. We enjoyed our stay.
Date of Stay: April, 2012
We stayed in this park 3 nights for a family reunion. The park was very clean and well maintained. The Wi-Fi was excellent and we had no problems. The park was less than 5 minutes from several restaurants and about 15 minutes from Walmart, even though it seemed like we were out in the country. We enjoyed our stay and will go back again.

Well, today Louis and I went to visit the vet. I knew something had to be wrong because he was starting to eat me out of house and home. I am more than happy to feed him, but when his food intake almost tripled in a month, and I had trouble keeping enough canned food in the house for him, I knew something was wrong! So we took some blood samples and got confirmed what we had already suspected-an overactive thyroid! At least it's easy to treat. Well, as easy as getting a pill into him is, which is almost impossible. At least now he will not spend all night on my head bugging me for food! So tonight we try our first pill.
For now Louis is lying next to me on the bed purring while I am petting him. Heavenly for us both!

Power amp to replace receiver?
I have 2x Cerwin Vega VE-12 speakers. I sometimes DJ for friends and know I only need about 250-300W max for a session. My Vega's are capable of this, but my receiver is not. It's a Yamaha HTR-6230, and I've abused it, so I'm guessing it doesn't do anywhere near it's rated 100W / ch output.
Is there a cheap power amp of some kind I could hook up to these speakers for traveling DJ gigs? I only do gigs for friends and it's only once in a blue moon, so something cheap but powerful would be nice that I can abuse for these random DJ sessions.
I know my speakers are more for home audio use, but i'm really just looking for an amp that's more volume than quality since it'll be drunk people. As long as it doesn't sound like absolute garbage... I have a DJ mixer / soundcard combo that has XLR outputs.
Any suggestions welcome, and thanks.
BTW, I'd like to keep it as cheap as possible. As stated, I will only use it a few times a year.
With 93dB sensivity you don't need much power. 100W will be plenty.
With 1W of power, you'll get 93dB from the speakers. That's loud already.
Okay let me put it another way... I can hear the music distort when the speakers aren't even cranked very loud. This is a low end receiver, and I believe it isn't even pushing anywhere near 100W. I need it to at least go louder before it completely distorts. I'm under the impression a power amp will let it do just that - go louder albeit not at the greatest quality, but without distorting until a much higher volume.
Thanks for the reply.
Not a fan personally of the behringer stuff but they might not die as easily as they used to.
You could try using a crossover in the yamaha, that would free up power, and less distortion on those speakers.
oh that Yamaha can't be more than 48W per channel anyway, and that's with 100% efficiency.
Note that you will need a way to feed an amp such as a mixer. A cheapo mixer with an iPod plugged into it might be find to feed an amp (cheapo mixers may be a bit noisy)
As for amps, you can't do too much better than the current sale prices I have seen on Crown XLS amps. I just bought another one, as the sub $400 price for 300x2 watts into 8 ohms was too tempting. I hooked it up in my bedroom, but it has some hum issues due to it using a 3 prong plug and an obvious ground loop issue ( I added an isolation transformer which made the hum tolerable.) I drive mine with an 800 series Yamaha which does have pre outs.
Right, so I could get a cheaper power amp like a QSC / Crown / Behringer, or how about this...
What is the likelyhood that my receiver is actually doing 100W? Very unlikely I imagine. Now what is the likelihood that the Emotiva mini-x A-100 is pushing it's rating of 50W / ch? I hear good things about Emotiva including that their power ratings are usually significantly underrated compared to most companies overrating their gear (like my Yamaha). Do you think this mini-a x-100 might do the trick? I'm guessing it may not get the power/volume I want, but it must sound better & louder than my Yamaha, right? It's not XLR/balanced, but I won't be running the cables very far and have some nice, sturdy, thick Monoprice RCA cables.
And if it sounds better than my receiver, I could use it for home use (I usually use headphones at home except for 1 input). I'm guessing it's not enough power, but it could very well do the trick.
Thanks for all the replies!
EDIT: making this clear. I have DJ mixer with internal USB soundcard (Denon DNX-600). It has XLR & RCA out options (both can be used at same time :) )
oh already said your yamaha is no more than 45W odd per channel.
Something tells me that's not going to be very cheap, considering I have to contact for price, lol. Did you read my question about the Emotiva mini-x a-100 above?
I am a fan of QSC amps and have a few in my HT. I purchased as B and C stock from Pro Audio Star. Give them a ring and they may knock off ~$25.
300x2-$249 refurb
500x2-$349 refurb
You will get far more power/dollar getting a pro amp. I personally much prefer Crown over Behringer but have little experience with QSC.
3 dB is about what I add when someone asks for it to be "just a hair louder". That takes twice the power.
10 dB is twice as loud (in the midrange) and requires ten times the power.
You are going to want a significant increase in power for your situation (hope the speakers can handle it). The good news is the average power is probably only maybe 10 W or so, maybe a little higher for your club situation. The amp FMW linked would be a good choice IMO.
FWIWFM - Don
Everything I've seen from Behringer in other equipment has been garbage, so I would not buy any Behringer device.
I was Craigslisting it and found a Crown XLS-402 refurbished for $175 at a local audio store. Seems like a pretty good deal for used gear. Wattage rating is what I'm looking for.
On another note, does running speakers like my VE-12s have any negative impacts? Obviously you have mote potential to blow your speakers if you're pushing them too hard, but it just seems weird that speakers can work with both hi-fi amps and power amps like these Crown's.
What's a good way to adjust volume so I don't blow my speakers? It always gets softer the drunker you get, lol. I'm guessing I should set the amp at about 50% and control the rest with the DJ mixer master volume. Or would I want to set the amp 90% and keep the volume lower on the DJ mixer?
Thanks again for all replies.
I'd probably say send highest level from your pre into power, but not so high it clips the power amp.
Generally with hifi gear (same make) they're voltage matched, but for other brands a pre signal may be too high, or too low for a power so need to use gain control on the power. A bit like recording level a on tape deck, hey had clip LED's or visual display showing the input level. Same principle to subwoofer you want to send it highest possible signal without overloading the input circuit, then adjust the subwoofer gain knob.
At least that's my understanding. That's if your power amplifiers have another gain/volume control
Wait a second... If I were to get this Crown Power amp, do I need a pre amp still? It has XLR ports and speaker wire posts. Can't I just hook the speakers directly to the posts, and send the XLR from the DJ mixer into the power amp?
Send your music from what your using into the mixer, then out to the amp, can run stereo that way too. Can also use something like a dbx driverack to use as a crossover/eq if you use subs also.
Sorry, yes to your last question: You can drive the amp directly from the mixer without another preamp.
Awesome, thanks.
I'm wondering though, if I spend $175 on a power amp that I may use a few times a year, would it be smarter to get a newer, more powerful receiver or something else that I might get more value out of? I'm guessing the power amp is the cheapest immediate solution, but I really don't think I'll be using it but a few times here and there.
a good power amp would last 20 years, and many speaker/source upgrades. My power amps are the same since Pro-Logic era. So several av pre-amp upgrades, but the same amps.
Something like a 5 channel Rotel is a good start
I'd keep the receiver out of parties. It will live longer that way.
Ask your friends to chip in a little. A long time ago when I did HS gigs and parties for friends I'd let them know a few bucks to cover costs would help. If it was a special event I'd get paid a little extra (I'd ask for $25 - $50 for a birthday party, tells you how long ago that was; official school events I'd get $100 - $200). Chances are nobody will balk at throwing a few bucks in a hat (jar, whatever) and you'll be able to cover the cost of the amp.
Yea good point, just need something rugged with power. Well I'll just go for the amp then, but I can't decide if I should keep hounding Craigslist or just get the XLS 402 for $175... seems like the best deal I've seen looking around and it's local from a store, so 30 day return warranty.
I'd probably get the 402 from the store since it is an older model. The new XLS 1000 is about $300 from Sweetwater Sound etc. if you want to stretch for a new one.
Well I found a QSC RMX850 on Craigslist for $50... that seems way too cheap though. This is what the poster said, "has some scratches, kept in studio in rack for 10 years, works great for studio monitors, small passive speakers or a subwoofer".
Seem legit? Obviously I'd test it first but that deal seems killer. I'd much rather pay $50 than $175.
I have a Crown CE-1000 laying around if you're interested. ;)
How much? Haha.

The Shapley Value For Partition Function Form Games
Different axiomatizations of the Shapley value for TU games can be found in the literature. The Shapley value has been generalized in several ways to the class of games in partition function form. In this paper we discuss another generalization of the Shapley value and provide a characterization.

Looks pretty good - how about a description of your rendering setup? Are you using append/consume buffers? Are the particles living forever or are they dynamically created and destroyed?

Hi Jason
I am using 2 ID3D11Buffer where I store information for all the particles (positions and velocities). Particles are living forever, they are created once.
Those buffers are binded through an Unordered Resource View to Compute Shader and through a Shader Resource View to Vertex Shader.
I use a Draw call with the number of particles. SV_VertexID is used in the shader to identify what particle should I process in a Vertex Shader in particular.
Particles are represented as points and expanded in a quad that face the camera, inside Geometry Shader.
I plan to use Append/Consume buffer in the future to create/destroy particles dinamically

My car is still sitting in the garage and I am getting so impatient.
The fuel pumps were replaced (both of them) and the gas lines are clear now. Thought that it was going to solve the problem...but of course it didn't.
There's spark, the fuel pumps & relays are working, it has a new gas filter. So now my question is this, can the ignition coil stop my car from starting?
As I had some down time from school, I thought I would mess with the car a while. So I tested the resistance and the secondary resistance is fine, but the primary resistance reads: 0.00 (should read between 0.52 to 0.76)!! What does this mean?
Any info would be appreciated.
I am thinking about getting out of the Cabby business and getting a Nissan or something.

Like many others who have reviewed her have said, Barbara Futter is an amazingly talented attorney as well as a caring, compassionate person. I truely believe she cared about me not only as a client, but as a person. I felt confident with her in my corner and will sing her praises to anyone in search of an representation!
Posted by anonymous
She is an excellent lawyer and I can honestly say she really cared about my situtation. I have never felt so at ease with a lawyer as I did with Barbara Futter. She always kept me informed and did what she said she would do. She goes the extra mile for you and is just amazing! I highly recommend her and if I ever need to hire another lawyer it would be her, hands down. Thank you Barbara for being a great lawyer and a great person.

I was served with a frivolous Order of Protection by my sister, which risked fracturing my entire family. These actions are difficult to defend and judges rarely dismiss such orders. However, thanks to Barbara's diligence, professionalism, and aggressive legal work, the judge ruled unconditionally in my favor, dismissing the entire claim. Justice was served for my entire family, and for that I am immeasurably grateful to Barbara Futter.
Posted by Amber
I was faced with a very unexpected custody dispute and called Barbara in a state of shock. She calmed me immediately and gave me supportive and detailed information on how to proceed. She is extremely responsive and kept me informed of what to expect and what was needed of me every step of the way. I was very pleased with her professionalism, yet very personal manner and would highly recommend her. I hope that I will never require her services again, but she would be my first call if legal help was ever neccesary.
Posted by Randy
This lawyer is the best I have seen!!!!
She will fight for you as if you are family..
Always tells you the truth and knows the laws.
With her there are no surprises...

My husband was represented by Barbara Futter in his social security disability case, which had a positive outcome. Barbara Futter is an excellent attorney. She genuinely cares about her clients, and has a knack to explain relevant terms in a manner that you can understand. She stayed in touch with us and would always return calls and inquiries in a prompt manner. She always greeted us with a friendly demeanor, great attitude, was honest and straightforward with us. I highly recommend Barbara Futter as an attorney.

Ms Futter was very knowledgable and professional and treated us as friends. She always kept us well informed while treating us with utmost respect. I highly recomend her.

Liberals must move to centre or die - Pyne
THE Liberal Party will survive only by moving to the centre and becoming more progressive on environmental issues, the ambitious frontbencher Christopher Pyne has warned his colleagues.
Mr Pyne, the federal Opposition's education spokesman, made a plea for the Coalition to win back voters with a "positive agenda" that concentrated on environmental issues.
"By leading on solutions to the issue of climate change, the new generation of Liberals can demonstrate that they believe progress is in the interests of the party and the country," Mr Pyne writes in an article for The Sydney Institute.
"By tacking to the centre of the political spectrum, the Liberal Party can highlight to the people that it truly is the custodian of both the liberal and conservative strains of non-Labor philosophy."
The Coalition is lagging in the polls at the start of a year in which climate change, with the economy, will be at the top of the Government's agenda. Much of the Government's time and effort will be spent trying to get its legislation on emissions trading through Parliament.
The Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, has indicated he would look to the Opposition for its support to pass the legislation rather than trying to win over the Greens and independent senators.
Mr Pyne's article strikes a similar tone to that of the leader of Britain's Conservative Opposition, David Cameron, who is also trying to present his party as moderate and committed to progressive social issues.
Although Mr Pyne stresses his admiration for the former prime minister John Howard, he points out the changes in policy that have been made since the Coalition lost the election in 2007, particularly on industrial relations and climate change.
"The Liberal Party as reformed in 2008 is more pragmatic and more in the political centre than the one that faced the voters on 24 November, 2007," Mr Pyne writes.

Picture request
Anyone have any pictures of a wk with plasti dip or vinyl on the hood? I've seen the silver jeep with solid hood and roof. Looking for more ideas, preferably stripe.
Re: Picture request
viking has a black srt wk with a stripe, and davy27 also has a plasti dip stripe. lucasj has plasti dipped his whole wk orange with a black hood and roof. check out those builds.
Thanks will do. Any others with ideas or pics feel free to chime in.
I redid my plasti pillars, wheels, grille, and tail lights with the plasti dip gloss. Have 2 cans left, figure a stripe may be a fun use of it

17:38 27th August 2013
New signing catches the eye in home debut.
Kevin McDonald's home debut in Friday evening's victory over Crawley Town may have been brief, but he soon made his mark with the home faithful.
After Town's stoppage time equaliser, it was the Scot who drove a path through midfield before hitting the cross that was handled by Kyle McFadzean resulting in a match winning penalty from Leigh Griffiths.
The new signing admitted: "It was strange to come in after the first couple of the games of the season. The transfer window is still open so I am just delighted to be here now.
"I felt it was the right time to move on and I stand by that. I have come to a great club and you could see by the crowd on Friday that I made the right decision."
"There's a massive fanbase, as there was at Sheffield United, but I knew a couple of the boys and I spoke to them and they told me how the club is and it felt right."
Whilst Wolves' top spot after the Crawley was to last less than 24 hours, Kevin is still happy with his new team's lot.
He said: "It's nice to be sitting near the top of the league and we can't be in a much better place. We did well on Friday, and we got three points, however we got them.
"It may have only been for 24 hours but we set out our stall on TV and played well. We passed the ball well and it was a learning curve for the last 20 minutes of the game. We are going to be under pressure at home against teams like Crawley.
"They are not coming here expecting to win, they are coming to play on the counter attack. Fair play to them they did well but we got the three points and that's all that matters.
"It was like at Sheffield United last season. Teams will come to massive stadiums like Molineux and they are going to throw everything at you. It's part of the pressure and it's a great pressure to have. I would rather be playing here than one of the teams coming to play us. That is the way we need to see it, take the pressure and perform to it.
"The manager has brought me in to hopefully play a big part of a promotion push and the boys in centre midfield are good players. They have shown me the way they have wanted to play. It's good competition for places and I have learned a bit off them with the way they want to play."

Fire damages gentlemen's club in Bedford
No one was in the strip club when the fire started around 8 a.m. Sunday, Wiggin said. The automatic alarm went off, notifying the fire department, he said.
Firefighters found smoke in the building coming from a front bathroom. Wiggin said the cause was likely electrical malfunction in the overhead fan in the bathroom. The building's automatic sprinklers kept the fire from spreading, Wiggin said, saving the building from heavy damage.
'Everything seemed to work' Wiggin said.
Firefighters aired out the building with fans. Wiggin estimates the fire did between $5,000 and $7,000 in total damages.

Bank of England doubles Champagne spend
The Bank of England nearly doubled its spend on wine and Champagne last year, new figures have revealed.
As reported by The Telegraph, the Bank of England splashed out £7,990 on 756 bottles of wine and Champagne in 2013, up from 444 bottles totaling £4,126 in 2012.
The bank's 2010 spend meanwhile, was even lower, at £3,509, figures published last Friday under the Freedom of Information Act revealed.
With the British economy slowly cranks back into gear, much of last year's fizz spend went towards leaving parties, such as one held for the bank's outgoing governor, Mervyn King.
The Telegraph reports that a series of dinners were held to mark the departure of Lord King and former deputy governor Paul Tucker at a cost of over £20,000.
"The Bank of England hosts a number of business-related receptions each year.
"The Bank provides refreshments at such events, and this involves purchasing beverages, including wine, for current and future use, taking advantage of bulk cost savings where possible," a spokesperson from the Bank of England told the paper.
Lord King's successor, Mark Carney, appears to be holding back on booze, with the bank confirming that no purchases of wine or Champagne had taken place thus far in 2014.
At one point in its history, the Bank of England had the second largest wine cellar in the City of London, second only to the London Stock Exchange.

Celebration highlights MSU College of Agriculture advancements
BOZEMAN, Mont. - Montana State University's College of Agriculture is growing, that's according to MSU student ambassadors.
A Blue and Gold College of Agriculture breakfast wraps up the college's agriculture celebration.
University representatives tell us it was an opportunity for alumni to hear what's new at the college, especially in terms of advancements in research...including a new strain of winter wheat invented by one of the college of agriculture's professors.
They tell us it's important to recognize agriculture's impact on the state and the country as well as what MSU is doing to improve the agriculture community.
"See the progression the college of agriculture is making, both in research and in the classroom teaching our students- how they're getting real, hands-on experience in the community and around the state," says MSU student ambassador Kevin Peterson.
Folks with MSU say the breakfast was also an opportunity for alumni to catch up with the new College of Agriculture interim dean.
The college appointed Glenn Duff interim dean back in August of this year.

In my coupe it's looking slightly 'worn' so wouldn't mind giving it a spray paint over but don't want to spray it a different colour to what it is now. Does anyone know the colour match? Or would wrapping it look better? Was thinking of getting some carbon fibre and getting the pats wrapped, M3 look?!
I'll get some pictures of the interior later on of the colour to see if any of you lot can help me out. But it's slightly dark grey but the carpets and the seats are light grey so don't know if toning the colour down with carbon would make it look better or not?!

Does anyone know of any good websites with Top Bar Hive plans? I came across three plans, but most use non standard board widths which will require gluing of boards.
Can I simply make the sides of the hive out of standard boards and just adjust the other dimensions so all fits together? I am guessing this is ok, but this might also cause problems that I do not foresee.
I did find the THB plans on beesource.com. Still use glued boards. Is there a point that a hive is too shallow?
