Samuel M
Please do not send any Dairy products to Sam
Story written 2016
In the summer of 2009 Sam was born 14 weeks premature, making him a micro preemie.
He spent 15 weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit before going home on oxygen. However, this unfortunately wasn't the end of our hospital life but, in truth, turned out to be the beginning of our new life.
Sam spent 2/3 years of his early life in and out of hospital, only managing a few days with us as a family before being re-admitted again. After many years of illnesses, operations and having had the 'talk' with consultants, it was discovered that Sam had a immune disorder. His immune system didn't remember an illness so it was like having a newborn baby all the time. Sam's body also didn't know it was poorly and so didn't fight off any bacteria or viruses. Therefore, he remained on constant IV antibiotics for years, which we learnt to do at home.
In 2012, Sam had 60% of his right lung removed due to scarring caused by constant infections, and in the latter end of 2012 Sam had a sibling bone marrow transplant from his older brother.
Sam remains a very poorly boy, on constant oxygen, IViG (which is an artificial immune system), a ventilator at night time and many, many meds. However, Sam is a very happy, cheeky young man with an adult sense of humour. Sam will lighten up any situation and just has the biggest heart I can know in a child. His daily life is filled with physio and medical intervention, yet he never complains or asks 'why me?'.
We do not know what the future holds for Sam, but we know that Sam will give it his all regardless of how he feels inside.
Update 2nd February 2017
This month has been full of hospital stays, appointments and procedures, some very unpleasant procedures.
We have, however, gained a lot of answers and insight in to Sam's illnesses. Unfortunately the answers have just opened a whole new set of problems with yet even more unpleasant procedures to come. We found out that the dysmotility that Sam has goes right through from his oesophagus to his rectum. GOSH are currently unable to move forward with the treatment needed, however UCLH are helping adults with similar issues so our team are seeing if they can get Sam over there to be seen. All medical science moves on with volunteers so why not Sam? 🙂
Sam has found all this extremely hard and for the first time ever Sam cried on his way to the treatment room. He's normally so open and compliant with what we ask of him that it broke my heart to see him cry and not be able to help at all. The tests had to be done for us to get answers, so all I could do was hold his hand and try to get him through.
We had our 6-monthly respiratory review and are changing a few things in the hope of stabilising Sam a little more but should in the long run mean Sam has more 'well periods'.
One of the major changes this month has been that Sam changed from IViG to SCiG. This is a massive step for Sam medically and emotionally as up to now Sam's had a huge needle phobia (due to the amount of cannulas he had before we got his central lines) but has had to overcome this because SCiG means two small needles have to be placed into his legs every 2 weeks. The reason for the switch is that Sam is now getting older and this will mean we can give his immunoglobulin at home. He did amazingly well and we couldn't be prouder, not only did he accept the needles, he allowed me to place them rather than the nurse.
So all in all January has been a big step towards Sam's independence and future treatments.
Update 7th January 2017
Sam's been very much up and down over the winter months, causing us some worry. All aspects of his illness has been effected from gut, lungs, heart rate, immunology, the works.
Sam's going to have a busy month of tests and procedures and the outcomes are very much unknown, but will hopefully mean we can move forward and allow Sam to regain some control. Some of these tests are unpleasant and to be honest we have put off asking the doctors for help for this reason but as Sam grows its not appropriate that we 'ignore' the issues anymore but have to face them head on now. Sam is, as ever, facing them with a smile and sees the positive in it all.
Sam's lungs were giving us a lot of grief just before Christmas with a lung function of just 68%, however a round of IV antibiotics has increased his exercise tolerance, so now we are waiting to see what happens over time and if whatever caused the decline returns.
In January, Sam will be starting the transition from IViG to SCiG as the doctors feel Sam's immunoglobulins will now be for the foreseeable future and its always better to do things at home than having to go to hospital. This will be huge for Sam as he has a massive needle phobia and the idea of stabbing himself in each leg weekly is not high on his list of things to do. We've had a practise run and this went well so we are optimistic, however we have told Sam this is 100% his choice.
So January will be very busy and productive for us all and will be a big step in Sam's independence and medical future.
Update 21st October 2016
Sam's having a settled period regarding his chest and whilst he had a temp not so long back he has remained relatively well 🙂
Unfortunately we can't say the same for his gut. It's so up and down at the moment and whilst we have put off gastro suggestions for certain interventions I'm not sure we can for much longer. We are trying a long, long course of oral antibiotics in the hope to get get rid of any bacterial overgrowth that may be causing the issue. This will not cure any of Sam's gastric issues but will hopefully make things a lot better day to day.
Sam remains oblivious to it all and just gets on with things that are thrown at him. He started in yr 3 this month and struggled with full days, but actually loves it so much he has been begging us to go in for half days. So after a month of half days we are trying full days again, with the intention of staying till at least 12:00. I never thought yr 3 would affect him this much and it came as a bit of a surprise to be honest.
Thank you to everyone that sent Sam a birthday card/gift, he read each one and was so excited when the post arrived. We managed to go 'glamping' which he just LOVED and said it was the best birthday ever lol. Phew, as it was not easy to set up when a child is on a vent.
Update 13th August 2016
Sam saw Gastro at Great Ormond Street this month and they are confused as to why his tummy is still playing him up. We are to be admitted for day testing on his hair (strange, I know) to see how many bugs are growing in his stomach and which ones so we know what antibiotic to use long-term. Sam will also have a special glucose test done which measures different aspects of his blood sugars. It's all very in-depth and scientific.
Sam's chest has been amazing this month and he's managed to even climb a waterfall when we were visiting friends in Ireland.
However Sam appears to have a new problem. About once a month for the past year Sam has developed a petechiae rash on his torso. In recent months this is now a weekly thing and he's bruising more easily. His platelet counts are all good though, so the doctors have requested a breakdown clotting and if this is ok we will be talking to haematology.
Sam finished infants school this month which is a massive achievement and he can't wait to go up to big school.
July's monthly project was very much appreciated during his routine 3 weekly hospital trip for meds. Kept Sam busy and it's now hanging from his bedroom window. Sam takes the time to read every single postcard and letter that comes through and he enjoys hearing about how different people live.
All in all Sam's had a good month and he's looking forward to his birthday.
Update 7th July 2016
Sam is having a stable-ish period. The permanent oxygen has benefited him no end and he's able to enjoy day to day activities without getting out of breath.
His tummy, however, is proving a bit more of an issue. He stopped his gastric antibiotics 4 weeks ago and already we are back to where we were months ago. So it looks like long term antibiotics are what's needed. We are seeing GOSH next week so hopefully they will come up with a better plan. It's such a shame as he was just starting to put on weight and was looking good for it, now he's lost all that again.
Sam's brothers are always so pleased to receive something in the post and makes them feel special. Even Jordan who's 15 gets excited and helps his brothers read their mail too.
Update 3rd May 2016
Sam has, once again, been having a difficult month. His stomach is still a source of concern and he on a lot less calories than he should be. Therefore, he has lost a lot of weight and now most of his bones are sticking out. So, in an attempt to get on top of this, Sam is going to have to go back into his feed pump and start a new medication in the hope this works.
This, however, brings a new problem as Sam is 24/7 dependent on oxygen, which he carries on his back. But with only one back and two backpacks we are having to come up with new ideas on how to manage this.
Sam's lungs have been up and down and at times he's needed a lot of extra support when sleeping.
We are hoping next month's update will bring good news, but please do know that each and every email/card/letter is read and brings a smile. Each gift is eagerly opened with excitement and happiness. Post Pals has brought so much to Sam that the first thing he asks now is 'has the postman been?'.
We are learning all about the countries from which the letters arrive from and how far they have had to travel.
The other boys have received a couple of gifts too and they were so pleased to have something just for them. They ripped open the envelopes and intently read the messages inside. So thank you from each one of us.
Update 3rd April 2016
Sam's had a difficult few months and had to deal with a lot of medical ups and downs. He's tiring easier and his gut gave up for three weeks straight and even now he's not back to normal.
We've only been part of the Post Pals family for a month and I really can't tell you the difference it has made. He's so excited every day when the post arrives and we sit and read every single one that arrives. We have even bought a world map to stick on his bedroom wall and marking off all the different places a card/gift arrives from. It's teaching Sam so much more than we ever thought.

522 pages, 93 illustrations, 1 in colour
Winemaking depends on a complex group of microorganisms such as yeasts, bacteria, and fungi, which colonize grapes, must and wine. Understanding their wine-relevant activities is essential to improving the selection and management of novel starter cultures and consequently wine quality.
In contrast to previous publications, this book consistently focuses on the biology of wine-associated microbes. An international expert board of wine researchers describes the relevant systematic, ecological, physiological and genetic aspects of wine microbiology. The diversity of wine-related species, their energy, primary and secondary metabolism are important topics that have significant impacts on aroma production and off-flavour formation. The growth management of microbial species, stimulating and inhibitory growth factors and cell-cell interactions are also discussed; chapters on modern molecular and maintenance methods including rapid and real-time identification round off the book.
From the reviews: "This compilation is outstanding. Forty-nine contributors from eight countries offer recent information on the microbiology of wine production, covering specific topics in both breadth and depth. ! each of the book's 27 chapters stands alone, there is excellent continuity between chapters to give readers a good overview of the subject. ! The text contains detailed tabular information and clear, readily understood figures. ! This is excellent scientific reporting. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through professionals and practitioners." (G. S. Howell, Choice, Vol. 46 (11), 2009)

text: We just returned from our trip, and am posting a brief review of one of our favorite dining experiences. We were not on the dining plan. Sunday, June 25: My DH and I decided to eat a late lunch at San Angel Inn in Mexico in Epcot. We have never done a TS restaurant before at WDW. We were celebrating our anniversary (4 years) and decided to splurge. We arrived at 2:30 PM, wearing our "Magical Wishes" buttons, with no reservation. We were told there'd be about a 10 minute wait and they gave us one of the pager thingys. It went off in about 4 minutes, and we were seated at a table for 2 right alongside the river. It was beautiful. Our server was very courteous and helpful. He immediately took our drink orders and brought us chips and salsa. My DH and I both decided to get the Plato Mexicano- grilled beef taco, chicken enchilada and cheese quesadilla, with onions and peppers, served with black refried beans, guacamole and rice. We opted out of the guacamole. Everything was very tasty, however, the grilled beef taco only had beef in it-no cheese, salsa, or veggies. I added some salsa to it as I felt it was lacking flavor. The quesadilla and enchilada were yummy, and the enchilada was a little bit spicy. The rice was flavorful. We're not huge fans of refried beans, but these tasted fine. Our drinks (sodas) were refilled as needed. The meal was a great experience and our server was wonderful. While we were eating a mariachi band was playing in the plaza, which was a nice complement to the meal. When we finished, our server (I feel awful that I forgot his name) asked if we wanted dessert, but we were too full. He then suggested that we try the bakery in France later for something sweet saying, "France is better for dessert, " and smiling at us. The total, including a large tip, was $44. Most of our other meals were less than half that, but for a special meal, it was a pretty good value. It was a great dining experience that I will never forget. It was very special for us.

Measuring a warming world
Scientists are continually monitoring trends in climate, such as temperature, sea level, ocean heat, snow and ice. Often several different research groups monitor the same issues, using different evaluation methods. Any consensus reached gives added confidence in those trends.
Climate change is most commonly measured using the average surface temperature of the planet. Current records from the UK Met Office, NASA and the US National Climatic Data Centre show global temperature at roughly 0.8°C above 1900 levels. Natural, year-on-year, fluctuations can be seen on top of this long-term warming. For this reason scientists traditionally use a period of at least 30 years to identify a genuine climate trend.
Other indicators also confirm that the world is warming. For instance, sea level is rising, ocean heat content is increasing, glaciers & sea ice are declining, and the troposphere (the lowermost 10 kilometres or so of the atmosphere) is warming.
Temperature in the last few years – has global warming stopped?
Records of global average surface temperature show that the rate of increase observed in the second half of the 20th Century has not been maintained in the last few years. Many people have therefore asked if global warming is over.
It is important to remember that trends in climate need to be considered over significant periods – typically 30 years. Over shorter periods natural fluctuations can mask (or add to) those longer-term trends. Looking at global temperature records since the 1980s and before, the long-term increase is clearly in evidence. And the short-term slowdown is not seen in other climate indicators such as glacier mass, sea ice extent and sea level.
Based on our knowledge of the physics of the greenhouse effect and global emissions, we can expect temperatures to continue to rise over the long-term.

Massachusetts sues spammers
Page Tools
A A judge in the US state of Massachusetts has ordered the shutdown of what authorities called one of the world's largest spam rings, generating millions of unsolicited emails monthly.
Attorney-General Thomas Reilly's civil complaint against alleged ringleader Leo Kuvayev and six other people associated with 2K Services and Ecash Pay requested a restraining order, which was granted by Suffolk County Superior Judge Ralph D. Gants.
Reilly alleged the companies flood email boxes with advertisements for illegal and dangerous products, such as counterfeit prescription drugs and pirated software, as well as advertisements for pornography.
The lawsuit alleges the spammers broke state consumer-protection laws, as well as a federal anti-spam law known as CAN-SPAM, and seeks restitution for anyone who lost money because of the operation, as well as fines, court costs and other relief.
Two phone numbers for Kuvayev and 2K Services in Canada were disconnected, and Kuvayev did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
Reilly made the announcement with Brad Smith, a senior vice president of Microsoft Corporation, which aided the investigation by capturing thousands of the spam messages and tracing their origins.
"Anyone who has a computer and uses the Internet has had to deal with these spam emails. At the very least they are a nuisance, a tremendous inconvenience and very disruptive to our economy," Reilly said. "But in this case these emails went well beyond a nuisance. There are also very serious public safety implications."
John Mozena, the co-founder and vice president of the anti-spam Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email, said the lawsuit may be effective in stopping this spam group.
"Will it have an effect on the overall total of spam people receive? No," he said. "These sorts of things might stop individuals, but they don't stop spam."

If I buy a Samsung Focus S, will I be able to use it as a GPS for my car?
I think I am going to buy a new phone. I really liked the Windows smartphones at the store. The Samsung Focus S was pretty nice. I want to buy this one.
I am also in a need of a GPS navigator for my car. Could I use a Samsung Focus S as a GPS navigator in my car? What will I need in order to do so? Is there a certain app?
Yes. Search the Marketplace. Lots of choices.
The built in BING app has a good, basic,car navigation system to start with. If you want more you can buy others from the Marketplace - Navigon ( i believe that's the name) has had great reviews.

Boon Island: A True Story of Mutiny, Shipwreck, and Cannibalismby Andrew Vietze, Stephen Erickson
The wreck of the Nottingham Galley on Boon Island and the resultant rumors of insurance fraud, mutiny, treason, and cannibalism was one of the most sensational stories of the early 18th century. Shortly after departing England with Captain John Deane at the helm, his brother Jasper and another investor aboard, and a skeleton crew, the ship encountered French
The wreck of the Nottingham Galley on Boon Island and the resultant rumors of insurance fraud, mutiny, treason, and cannibalism was one of the most sensational stories of the early 18th century. Shortly after departing England with Captain John Deane at the helm, his brother Jasper and another investor aboard, and a skeleton crew, the ship encountered French privateers on her way to Ireland, where she then lingered for weeks picking up cargo. They eventually headed into the North Atlantic later in the season than was reasonably safe and found themselves shipwrecked on the notorious Boon Island, just off the New England coast. Captain Deane offered one version of the events that led them to the barren rock off the coast of Maine; his crew proposed another. The story contains mysteries that endure to this day, yet no contemporary non-fiction account of the story exists. In the hands of skilled storytellers Andrew Vietze and Stephen Erickson, this becomes a historical adventure-mystery that will appeal to readers of South and The Perfect Storm.

Boon IslandA True Story of Mutiny, Shipwreck, and Cannibalism
By Andrew Vietze Stephen Erickson
Globe Pequot PressCopyright © 2012 Andrew Vietze and Stephen Erickson
All right reserved.
Chapter One"Boone Island is the forlornest place that can be imagined ..." —Celia Thaxter, Isles of Shoals, 1870
The body was thin, emaciated even. His skin was a waxy white, marred with ulcers and blackened in places from freezing, eyes stuck in hollow sockets. The corpse had been discovered lying amid the tidal wrack on the long expanse of beach at Wells. Captain Lewis Bane, the coroner of the small town of York, Province of Maine, was summoned and led to the scene through a snowy woods. It was January first, early and cold, and the miles-long stretch of sand was windswept and desolate.
Surely this wasn't how Bane wanted to begin the New Year. Rather than a fresh start, it seemed history had found the village again—more death. Residents of York—fewer than 120 of them now—had been warring with the native Abenakis intermittently for the past thirty-five years and had barely held on. Hundreds and hundreds of Banes's neighbors, friends, and family—from southern Maine and throughout the small adjacent colony of New Hampshire—had been killed, wounded, or captured in raids on their settlements or picked off one by one in fields and forests. The region's English colonists always had to use caution when they ventured out from the relative safety of their garrison houses, and the party of men who led the coroner through narrow trails to the beach most certainly came with muskets in hand. The Indians might be watching from the trees.
If the Indians were there, waiting in ambush, they too were armed with muskets supplied by the French. The Abenakis had thrown in their lot with the great native leader of the Wampanoags, King Phillip, in 1675. And they found themselves drawn into a series of imperial wars, working in league with the French of Quebec. The colonists liked to name these global conflicts after their own English monarchs—perhaps it was a kind of political statement, subconscious or not. They called this one with the French and Indians Queen Anne's War, but it would be known as the War of Spanish Succession in Europe.
Few places in the world seemed farther from the machinations of a European court than the coast of Maine in 1711, a wilderness no-man's land dividing English America from French Canada. To the locals it was a mostly empty battleground over which warring parties traveled, and women and children hostages were carried away to be ransomed back again later. Bane's home of York occupied a place on the very edge of English civilization.
And indeed few places had suffered more than York. On a cold January day in 1692, the Abenakis and their French officers had slaughtered one hundred settlers and taken eighty more prisoners during the Candlemas Massacre, forcing the survivors on a grueling march to Canada. While such large-scale attacks were largely over, settlers still risked capture or worse every time they went out to visit a neighbor. The English who lived along in the woods north of the Piscataqua River were a people hardened by war, and Captain Lewis Bane, thirty-nine, owner of timberlands, prominent citizen, and county coroner, was a man accustomed to gruesome sights.
Here was yet another. Bane knelt and looked the dead man over. Had the Indians struck again? It had to be considered. The evidence before the coroner, however, suggested otherwise. There was no sign of struggle or violence. No blood or blunt-force trauma was evident, and the man's scalp was intact. His skin was pocked with chilblains—sores that came about as a result of freezing. But the biggest clue lay on the beach a couple hundred yards away. There Bane noticed a primitive raft, crudely put together from ships tackle. Clearly the man had been on a short journey—this was not the sort of craft anyone would choose to navigate the Gulf of Maine in winter—and had washed ashore. A gaunt body. A raft. A lifelong resident of this southern Maine community, Lewis Bane knew what that meant.
The coroner looked up and out to the horizon, on which sat a sliver of gray barely rising above the brine in the distance, a narrow band of rock separating sea from sky. And it had a reputation.
Bane turned and hurried off the beach. He traveled the eleven miles south through the frozen woods to Cape Neddick, a fishing hamlet on the small tidal river of the same name. There he found John Stover, a fisherman who owned a small work boat with a single sail known as a shallop. The coroner commandeered both Stover and his shallop to set out in search of signs of a wreck.
From a line of local fisherman, Stover must have thought this a dubious exercise. Putting out to sea in winter was always a treacherous proposition, and in this case, there had been no reports of any local vessels going missing, and most European seamen knew better than to cross the North Atlantic this time of year. No cannon fire had been heard, indicating a naval engagement with the French or even a signal of distress from a sinking ship. No smoke had been spotted above the islands, and without fire, what were the chances of finding anyone alive on an island in the Gulf of Maine in January?
Still, Bane and Stover were able to convince three others to set sail immediately. It was still morning when they got underway, pushing off from Cape Neddick and following the narrow salt river out to the open sea. The sails of their small shallop filled, and they cleared the harbor and set a course due east, rising and falling on the chop. Their boat was fairly ideal for the Maine coast, an oak-framed vessel with a pine hull and central mast. A shallow draft and the ability to use oars made it able to navigate no matter the weather. But no one liked heading out on days like this.
Six miles offshore was a lonely rock called Boon Island. A tiny isle bereft of vegetation, it was surrounded by ledges that reached out like the tentacles of a kraken, and it was the last resting place of several ships. The island made it on to nautical charts, in fact, thanks to an English merchant vessel called the Increase, which slammed on to it in July 1682 in a thick fog during a spring storm. Legend has it that her four-man crew lived off fish and bird's eggs for thirty days until one day they spotted smoke rising from Mount Agamenticus, a hill a few miles from the coast, where the Abenakis were said to be engaged in a religious ritual. The stranded men built a signal fire in response, which the Indians interpreted as a sign from the Great Spirit calling them to the Island. They immediately flew to their canoes and made for the rock, where they found the stranded men. Of course, that was back when relations with the Abenaki were more amicable. The island was then considered a "boon" from God.
Another story claims Boon Island took its very name from the scuttling of ships. So many vessels were said to have foundered there that fishermen left a cache of food on the island—a "boon" for castaways. It might have come from a fisherman named Boone or, more ominously, was a misspelling of Bone, which seems darkly appropriate for such a cursed piece of rock.
Stover and his men focused their attention on the isle ahead as it rose slowly up out of the waves. Rectangular in shape, Boon Island is roughly 700 feet long and 300 feet at its widest point at low tide. At high tide much of the island is inundated, reducing its length to as little as 150 feet. The tallest crags atop it stick their heads just 15 feet above sea level, meaning that in storms the whole island can be washed over. It is a barren, desolate rock where nothing can live.
During their hour-long crossing, something bright and white atop the isle caught the eyes of Stover, Bane, and the others. The men maneuvered in slowly, aware of the rocks that lurked just beneath the surface, jagged points that reached out even for boats with little draft, like the shallop. As they drew in closer, they were astonished to spot panels of sailcloth flapping in the winter wind, a cruel and feeble shelter against the brutalities of a North Atlantic winter. Standing outside it, they observed three men, as insubstantial as phantoms, frantically waving. The New England fishermen were dumbfounded. Against all odds shipwreck survivors were alive on Boon Island.
Gesturing and shouting and jumping up and down, the castaways urged their rescuers in to fetch them off the rock. Stover, though, was cautious. The surf was high and the ledges threatened everywhere—there simply was no good place to land. The seasoned sailor decided to drop anchor where he was—about a hundred yards away. He waited there until high tide, when the water would be smoother and there would be more clearance over the hazards below.
When high tide finally flooded in around noon, Stover pulled anchor and followed the directions of one of the castaways to a safe place just off the island. From there the rescue party could shout back and forth to the stranded sailors, who were dangerously thin, sporting long unruly beards, and wearing little, despite the winter temperatures. The shipwrecked men looked much like the man Bane had seen on the beach that morning—wraithlike, without overcoats, the clothing they had in tatters—little to cover their scant human frames except sores and frostbite.
The castaways told the fishermen that there were ten of them left and they'd survived more than three weeks since their ship, the English merchant vessel Nottingham Galley, went aground on December 11, during a fierce winter storm. They'd abandoned ship with virtually nothing to help them withstand the ravages of the season, living on the rock with no fire, only a couple of small cheeses for food, and just their raggedy sailcloth tent to protect them from the elements. Two of their comrades had died of exposure and two had left on a raft to get help, never to be seen again.
This, of course, accounted for the body on the beach.
One of the men identified himself as John Deane, captain of the Nottingham Galley, and he begged Bane and the fishermen to attempt an evacuation. Captain Deane was ready to be pulled through the waves by rope and buoy if one could be thrown to him. Stover and his men understood the madness in this idea, given the temperatures of the water off Maine this time of year—five or six degrees above freezing—and the frail condition of the captain. But they also realized the gravity of the situation.
Aboard the shallop was a small canoe, which one of the rescuers agreed to take ashore. He would test the waters, so to speak, and see if it would be possible, given the blustery conditions, to get the men safely off the rock. A pall was falling across the skies, and the seas were beginning to heave. No one wanted a repeat of the event that had landed the men there in the first place. The Maine fisherman dropped his canoe into the choppy water, eased himself aboard, and negotiated the waves and rocks with difficulty, but at last made shore.
What the Cape Neddick fisherman saw when he was able to stand on Boon Island rendered him speechless. He was horrified by the captain's "thin and meagre Aspect"—and Deane was one of the healthiest survivors. The captain led the shocked rescuer to the tent, sailcloth luffing in the growing breeze, and pulled the flap open to reveal the other seven men. They were lying huddled together on the rocky ground, and the sight and smell of them repulsed the rescuers' senses. As Deane observed: "He was perfectly affrighted at the Ghastly Figure of so many dismal Objects, with long Beards, nothing but skin and bone; wild staring Eyes, and Countenances, fierce, barbarous, unwash'd and infected with Human gore."
Some of the shipwreck victims crawled toward their savior, gathered around him, clutching his ankles with their swollen, frostbitten hands and sobbing. Bane, Stover, and their small crew had moved with such haste—or perhaps with no serious expectation of finding anyone alive—that they'd neglected to bring any food, so the fisherman had nothing to offer. Instead he provided the only consolation he could—he built a fire right inside the tent.
The rescuers decided the evacuation would begin not with the most infirm but the most able. Deane followed the fisherman back to his canoe and climbed in with him, pushing off toward the shallop. The two men paddled with all their strength, but the waves drove the little craft against a rock and tipped it over, leaving the pair stumbling through frigid water up to their chests. The cold of the water forced the air out of their lungs and held them there as if frozen in place. The wind bit at whatever flesh remained above the sea.
Still extremely weak, Deane "had a very narrow escape from drowning," as he recalled later. Any physical exertion was difficult for him, but the two men managed to haul themselves back onto the island, where they stood soaking wet in the chilling air. Obviously, this wasn't going to work. Most of the shipwrecked men were in far worse shape than their captain, confined to the tent and too sick to risk further exposure, too weak to swim if they capsized. (Perhaps this is what Deane was thinking selecting himself to be rescued first.)
The fisherman retrieved the canoe and, now alone, laboriously made his way back through the rolling seas and past the hateful ledges out to Stover's shallop. Stover yelled to the castaways that he'd return with help as soon as he possibly could. As the skies above began to blacken with storm clouds, the shallop pulled away from the crew of the Nottingham Galley's island prison, leaving the stranded men stranded still.
Frustrated that they could do no more, Stover and the rest of the rescue party turned their sailboat for home, making plans to speed south to the larger city of Portsmouth as soon as they landed to alert the authorities there. As the men talked, the seas began to buffet their small vessel. The storm they'd seen organizing overhead suddenly overtook them, and waves pitched their boat around as if it were a piece of weightless wood.
Waves and spray penetrated clothing to the skin and filled up the craft's relatively shallow hull, as wave after wave after wave tossed the little boat and crashed over its sides. There was no room on the boat to pace to keep warm. But there was plenty of opportunity for exercise, nonetheless, for the men aboard were forced to bail for their lives in a life-threatening battle against the rising water, which sloshed around, numbing their feet beyond feeling.
Would Boon Island claim yet another vessel?
By the time the shallop approached the mainland, the storm was raging and Stover didn't dare attempt a landing for fear of being dashed upon the rocks. A ship's best chance in a storm—to avoid a fate similar to that of the Nottingham Galley—is to stay out to sea and ride it out. The men aboard Stover's shallop didn't have that kind of time; they could only stay out for so long before risking death from the cold. Hours passed, and the waves hammered relentlessly as the dark clouds blackened into night. The storm refused to abate. If anything it intensified. Without food the men aboard Stover's boat lost strength, so that the bailing became less vigorous, and the lack of movement increased the threat of hypothermia. One way or another they had to get ashore, rocks or no rocks.
On the mainland the scattered community of settlers who lived around York worried and watched the coast. Closely knit, intermarried, and forced together still more than usual in these dangerous times, hundreds of people had some connection—a father, a brother, a cousin, or a friend—with the men on the shallop. The leaders of the community, like Bane himself, carried a special burden for the safety of the fisherman—they had sent these men out into danger on official business.
Eyes straining through the wintery precipitation, someone by some miracle caught sight of them making their way for the shore. The shallop would be dashed against the rocks. They would need help getting out of the water. Word went out: Stover and his men were coming in.
But, as one observer noted: "The next morning early the Shallope by the Violence of the weather was drove on shore and cast away."
Chapter TwoThree days later, when the castaways finally came ashore to the safety of the mainland, Captain John Deane was like something from a nightmare. He looked like he'd just stepped out of a casket, his hair wild and stringy, his skin pocked with sores, his frame shockingly bony. Mostly, though, it was the eyes, which were wide with unconstrained glee. As soon as the canoe bearing him docked, on the Piscataqua River in Kittery, Province of Maine, just downstream from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the captain leaped from the boat and darted across the lawn of a local home. It was well after dark—about 8 p.m.—and he had two things on his mind.
Exuding a desperate energy, Deane burst into the house, where he found the matriarch home with her children. The sailor's appearance was "to the terrible Affrightment of the Gentlewoman and her Children, who took the first Opportunity to make a fair Escape." The captain then, "unmercifully hungry," took the occasion to head to the kitchen to "rumage the Pot." He found some beef and some turnips. "Resolving thereupon to stand Cook for once," Deane spread his findings on the table and began to eat. He had already "secured some small portion in his Belly" when the men who had paddled him ashore arrived and "unacceptably restrained him from eating any more at that time."
This was no random home invasion, however. Deane was the invited guest of Captain Jethro Furber, a Portsmouth shipmaster whom he knew from the small world of North Atlantic trade. Furber and Captain William Long, an Englishman recently arrived, like Deane himself, had put together a fleet of sloops to rescue the castaways on Boon Island as soon as they could safely do so. Word had come from York of the plight of the crew of the Nottingham Galley, but evacuation had been impossible for several days. The storm that had overtaken Lewis Bane, John Stover, and their crew had lingered, making conditions simply too dangerous to venture out on the Gulf of Maine. Stover, Bane, and their fishermen friends had barely survived their own shipwreck; when they finally made it to shore, they made good on their promise to send help.
Furber and Long pushed off from Portsmouth in a fleet of four sloops almost as soon as the skies broke on the morning of January 4. As they neared the island, the rescuers could see smoke rising from a hole in the center of the makeshift tent. Like Stover had before them, the local sailors drew their vessels as close as they dared and then launched a large canoe—this one more seaworthy than Stover's—to transport the survivors. Deane and one or two others were able to walk under their own power, but some "strong Men, brought the rest, two or three at a time, most of them on their backs from the tent to the canoe, though none of them were free of vermin."

In a single night, Kyle Davidson's life is derailed. His relationship is over, he is denied access to his young son and everything important to him is at risk.
His thoughts stumble between fear and revenge. Kyle Davidson has a choice to make.
Meanwhile, after the tragic end to a previous case, DC Gary Goodhew finds himself questioning his reasons for returning to work until the badly beaten body of a homeless man is found on Market Hill. Having known the homeless man for several years Goodhew feels compelled to be part of the investigation – but routine lines of enquiry soon take a dark and unexpected turn.
Suddenly the Cambridge back streets hold deadly secrets for Goodhew and the only person who has the answers is planning one final, desperate act.
Alison Bruce is back, or rather I should say Cambridge's favourite son DC Gary Goodhew is back, finally returning to duty after a prolonged absence.
In The Promise Alison's writing is as sharp as ever, her storytelling is well developed and plotted magnificently, something you take for granted now in a series that has solidified her reputation in the crime fiction world. Cambridge once again comes to life with her enthusiastic narrative. I always enjoy reading these books for I feel as if I get to know a little more of Cambridge with each novel. I've never been to Cambridge but with every Bruce novel I do feel as if I now know it like the back of my hand! Kudos to the writer for allowing us in to her Cambridge.
The book starts off with quite the shock, for me at least, I really hadn't expected it for the author kills off a character I was very sorry to see go. You know you're hooked when, with each turn of the page, something or someone is going to say "fooled you" he's not really dead, I just wanted to read your reaction" but alas the character, and one of my favourites of past stories has been killed off. I won't spoil it and say who it is, you'll find out for yourselves but if you've read the previous titles in Alison's back catalogue then you're in for a big surprise!
Gary Goodhew is back as I mentioned above and although it takes a little to convince himself to return to work he does so despite his lengthy recuperation. The gang are back together, Marks is on the verge of retiring, Sue Gully is poking her nose into an old case that has a direct connection with Gary and Kincaide's relationship with Gary show no signs of improving any time soon! Let's face it they are never going to be best mates are they. If this series had been set in the Wild West I'm sure one High Noon scene would have ended it once and for all!
That's the thing with Alison's books, without fail they've made me angry! I should actually explain myself! It's Gary's relationship or lack thereof with Kincaide that always riles me! I'm always on Gary's side but whenever Kincaide begins to crank up the insults and put downs I get slightly annoyed! I know I shouldn't but that's the thing with this series and this writer, you connect with the characters and you feel as if you have a vested interest into their lives.
A serial killer is on the loose in Cambridge and Goodhew is determined to solve the riddle. Only time will tell if he does but let's face it there's a very good chance he will! Another cracking read, Bruce continues to go from strength to strength, as does Gary's character but I'll sign off this review in the hope that one day soon Gary will get the opportunity to deck Kincaide. We all live in hope!! If you haven't had the chance to read the back catalogue then I urge you to do so, Cambridge wouldn't be the same without Goodhew and Bruce!

This guy will tell you exactly what you want to hear when you initially sit down with him for the first time. He has to open up a law encyclopedia to answer difficult questions that he doesn't know the answers to. He missed 2 court hearings and has a excuse for everything. He violated several rules of professional conduct while representing me , I sincerely regret ever walking into his office. He was never on my side. His lack of communication and diligence had a detrimental affect on my life. I never imagined my case would turn out like it did . The search was illegal and Fred was too much of a coward to challenge anything . He won't fight for you bottom line .
Posted by anonymous
I had just been released on bail, and about to flee the country to avoid dealing with the likely outcome of my situation and the prison sentence I was facing. I felt like it was a lost cause, too many charges, the way I was caught left nothing for defense in my opinion, however that's where Mr. Carroll and I are different. Right from the start Mr. Carroll made me feel completely at ease with my situation. Frederick Carroll never once promised me anything unrealistic, and he never told me anything that was not the truth. Carroll was upfront with me, and I trust him with my life. He gave it his all, he gave me the best possible defense and I owe this man decades of my life. Frederick Carroll is an excellent attorney, he is very trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable, and he doesn't hesitate to fight for your freedom tooth and nail. If you're on the fence about who to hire... This is the time to make the most important decision of your life, this is the time to choose Mr. Frederick Carroll.
Posted by anonymous
Mr. Carroll is an awesome attorney. He helped my nephew when he made a stupid mistake with the law. Due to Mr. Carroll's hard work and committment to my nephew's case he was able to stay in his program that he had just been accepted to and was able move on with his future. Because of Mr. Carroll's dedication, loyalty, professionalism and understanding I have recommended him to other family members who he has helped out in the past as well and will only continue to use Mr. Carroll in the future and only refer him. He is the best attorney I have ever met and had the pleasure to know.
Posted by anonymous
Mr. Carroll handled my case very professionally. Obviously, I'm out of custody and happy to be, largely because of his work. His knowledge of the law is impressive-he'll quote you the law off the top of his head. He's sometimes hard to reach, but he will call you back in a professional amount of time. He only does criminal law, but he'll refer you to specialists in other areas. He's the reason I'm at home with my family.

The best lawyer I have ever worked with . Very responsive, trustworthy, full of sage advice. Incredible honest. A real standup guy. I have recommended him to people on many, many occasions. Fred is incredibly sharp from a legal perspective. I highly recommend him. This is the guy you want on your side in court.
Posted by anonymous
I was set up to do some serious time for a stupid mistake. Someone put me in touch with Fred and it was GREAT! He got me a lot less time than I thought I would get. He always got back to me and answered all of my questions. He even calmed my mom down when she was freaking out! I would reccomend this guy to anyone who is in trouble!
Posted by Martin
Lazy, dishonest. Really this lawyer has no business being in law, a disgrace to his profession. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
I have never heard such a litany of weak excuses as to why he never did his job. He failed to follow through on the most basic of functions that caused more problems than he attempted to solve.
Do not trust this man,
good luck.

There is no better or easier way to learn a language than to live it and breathe it ... and there is no better place to study than in vibrant, beautiful Brazil! Our Portuguese courses take place in the dazzling city of Rio de Janeiro. You can choose to only learn Portuguese during your time in Rio or you can combine a Portuguese Course with another project/s .
Complete immersion in another culture is, without doubt, the fastest and most effective way to learn a new language. You not only learn to speak a language fluently, you also have the opportunity to learn about the culture of the language, while living and studying with like-minded people with the same motivations as you.
Learning a language may appear difficult at first when trying to learn by yourself or in a segregated classroom at home. However, when you are living, working, socializing and breathing a new language – you learn fast – and the whole process is exciting, memorable and a lot of fun…. especially in Brazil…!!
You have two choices regarding the intensity of the course you'd like to do:
You'll study Portuguese (Brazilian) in an established Language School in Rio de Janeiro that has an excellent reputation and has been chosen by us for their track record in providing quality language lessons to 'foreigners'. The experienced and dedicated teachers at both schools are incredibly friendly and will go out of their way to ensure that you have an enjoyable experience learning Portuguese in Brazil.

The photographs are an attempt to understand pockets of time, not moments or snapshots but sections of time passing. The images are taken at dusk when there is just enough light to hint at features and shapes, but little enough in order that the details are absorbed back into the surfaces that I seek to discover. The camera shutter is left open for several minutes to soak up all the available light and find things in the near dark that I can only imagine are there. I use it to see what I cannot. The result is an image that records the passage of time but in a gentle way, detached from real time experience and the fixation for the hard-edged image.It is a conscious decision to use traditional photographic techniques to fix the image - methods that don't even out flaws or faults. The practice and process of using an old camera or an imperfect plastic toy lens, combined with the unpredictability of film in low light, act as a purposeful ritual and a necessary marker in the physical recording process. They enforce a real pause before the shutter is opened. This pause encourages a patience that often eludes me in daily life - a time in which I can 'feel' my surroundings rather than see them.

Uphill both ways
The glass of the window felt cool as her fingertips lightly pressed against it. She was leaning agaist it, each breath momentarily causing the pane to fog. Deep blue eyes searched the darkness beyond the window.
For perhaps the first time in her life, Lucy's thoughts were silent. Gone was the wirlwind of childhood, replaced by the cold grip of fear. Silence had settled into her heart slowly eating away at her confidence, her hope...
He would not come home.
She was old enough to realize this, yet at eleven, Lucy was still young enough to long for the gentle consolances that came from adults. The easy safety they could offer by taking responsibilty and making up for the experiences she lacked.
It started to snow, just a few flakes, falling slowly like tiny paracutes for invisble men.
"Snowflakes are like people Lu," her brother had once said as he affectionatly tosseled her hair, "they all look the same from afar, but when you look close you can see that each one is different. They are never exactly the same."
Her older brother had been the smart one; he would have known what to do. He was the good one; she was the bad one. Nothing she did was ever right.
But then, she was still here wasn't she? She was still here waiting by the window even as her brother was out there somewhere fighting in a war he didn't believe in, a war that her country could never win, a war that they, mother, all knew would kill him.
