Top students take flight - a picture special November 28th saw the College's 20th annual Celebration of Achievement. There were a number of changes to the established format this year that added to the poignancy, with Heads of School rather than a master of ceremonies performing heartfelt citations of award winners. As usual an inspirational film started the event off, though this time a second one also ended the event, and in a further break with the format it actually revealed the name of the Student of the Year. Below are some images from a superb and very memorable night, as well as links to the movies.
Above: Hospitality & Catering Students as usual put in many hours preparing the post-event buffet, which equally as usual went down a storm with guests.
Above: a sparkling wine reception greeted guests upon their arrival.
Above: Darren Hankey presented Long Service awards to those who had reached 20 years with the College. Eight of the eleven recipients attended in person to receive certificates and vouchers.
Above: the space in the Atrium allowed students, families, staff and employers to mingle.
Above: a large number of staff attended to support the students on their big night. Some behaved better than others (but this picture was selected at random and isn't meant to imply anything of course...)
Above: Sixth Form Studies Student of the Year Sam Cashmore listens to Martin Old explain exactly why Newcastle United are rubbish (again).
Above: Assistant Principal Andy Steel took over the Master of Ceremonies role this year, and did a superb job after first establishing a small matter of identity...
Above: the visual theme this year was the iconic first footprint on the Moon - a great achievement for one person, Neil Armstrong, that was only made possible by the hard work of many people in the background.
Above: In a further break from the format of previous years, Heads of School introduced the winners, allowing their citations to be personal and heartfelt.
Above: Nearly every award was sponsored, and in most instances sponsors sent a representative to present their award in person.

Remembrance Service 2013 On Friday 8th November Hartlepool College once again hosted a Service of Remembrance to remember the fallen and to honour those who currently serve or have served in the Armed Forces. As always we were honoured by the presence of a number of veterans, who performed a parade of standards. Guests also included members of military associations, members of the Armed Forces, civic dignitaries and representatives from local organisations. A traditional one minute's silence was observed and staff, students and guests performed readings to another capacity audience in Conference Room 1.
Lecturer Graeme Fallowfield performed the Last Post and Rouse. An uncompromising short film showed the emotional and often brutal work of war photographers, and had some of the audience in tears. Following the service, visitors assembled at the College's Tree of Remembrance to dedicate printed poppies to those they wished to remember
and honour, which were then hung from the branches of the sculpture. The veterans spoke very highly of the ceremony, and were especially full of praise for the conduct of our students attending. They told staff it was very heartening to see so many young people not only showing an interest, but doing so with utmost respect.

Putting the "fun" in fundraising Hartlepool College students and staff turned the entire building into one big party for Children in Need 2013 on the 15th November, with a number of activities designed to get as much cash for Pudsey as possible earning nearly £900! These included Level 2 Beauty Therapy students offering Pudsey Nail and Face Painting, staff having a dressing down day and all Students being allowed to wear their onesies for a donation (and it was very much The Onesie Show for the day!) The School of Sport and Public Services organised a marathon "Run on the Spot" event on the balcony outside Learner Core 1, with teams of up to ten taking turns to keep the event going for a five hour duration. Interrupting this were some very jumpy exercise sessions (courtesy of Ian Clark, Dani Lines and Dan Farman) and a massed Gangnam Style dance (pictures don't do it justice… like Woodstock, we think you just had to be there). Sixth Form Studies arranged a traditional "pile of pennies" game on the Third Floor landing to raise funds while Hospitality and Catering Students sold cakes in the Atrium and toured the College selling Raffle tickets for a chance to win a delicious chocolate cake. And, for the three days leading up to Children in Need, Automotive Students also offered a service called "Get Sudsey for Pudsey", with car washes and valeting on offer. This proved so popular they had to make extra slots. Staff Dress-Down Friday also raised £43.50 - unusual given that it was £1 a go, so we can only presume that one member of staff was only half dressed! The final total came to £891.71, with the possibility of maybe a few extra donations still due. Well done to all who took part! It's not to late to donate, so please visit the official Children in Need website and give whatever you can at www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b008dk4b

Students in tune with Christmas Carol Service Friday 13th December turned out to be far from unlucky for all the staff and students who made it to the College's annual Christmas Carol Service in Conference 1, where they were treated to a dazzling half hour of entertainment - and that was just from the jumpers (which were worn for charity - honest!) As well as the traditional singing of carols accompanied by the College's very own band, there were wonderful renditions of some classic standards by Kate Williams and the Red Dreams Singers, a reading of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" by Barbara Old and a touching Christmas Prayer read by Pam Stockton. It was all great fun, as these photos show!
Above: The event started with a spirited one-minute round of applause to commemorate the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela.
Above: The College in-house band most ably provided backing for the Carols, and shall henceforth be known as "No Direction".
Above: Anyone who thinks that Carol services are dreery and no fun really needs to come along to one of ours!
Above: Kate Williams and Paul Hart of the Red Dreams Singers performed a wonderful duet, The Chistmas Lullaby.
Above: With Panto season well underway, Director of Apprenticeships Graham McPhail made it clear which of the Seven Dwarves was his favourite.
Above: Everybody joined in the Carols.
Above: The Red Dream Singers started off the finale, a medley of Christmas classics...
Above: The Red Dreams Singers are part of a Hartlepool-based charity dedicated to helping young people find "Confidence through Creativity" - you can find out more at http://reddreams.org.uk
Above: ...and then decided to turn it into an audience participation event. Principal Darren Hankey took the opportunity to cement his status as Angel of the North 2.0.
Above: However, everybody bought into it - none more so than this student, who brought down the house with his impromptu Christmas dad-dancing!

You wooden believe what Carpentry & Joinery students did for Bradley
Smokers encouraged to shed the habit
The College has a lot of support and advice in place to encourage smokers to quit, but for those of you who still "need the weed" the College has some important rules that must be followed.
Above: the students and their wooden bike - left to right; Dylan Venter, Liam Parkinson, Kieran Proudlock Thomas Mincher, William Storm, Craig Parry (leaning on the bike), Brad Robinson, Anthony Robins & Liam Kelsey
In the 1860s an early type of bicycle appeared, with tyre-free wooden wheels and an unpadded seat. Called the velocipede, the extremely uncomfortable ride it offered quickly earned it another name - the "boneshaker".
Good to their word they did just that on 6th February, with Liam "buns of steel" Parkinson riding the bike in gallant (if not comfortable) fashion. The bike used gear cogs instead of a chain, and with no tyres or padded saddle proved to be quite a challenge to even move.
Students from the College's Carpentry & Joinery section resurrected the idea to raise money for Bradley Lowery, the Hartlepool toddler suffering from Neruoblastoma, a very aggressive form of cancer that requires specialised treatment (find out more at http://bradleylowerysfight.org.uk).
Liam coaxed the machine the entire distance, and after the ride the students were presented with a cheque for £1000 by the Staff of Domino's (pictured below), with even more money following on from individual sponsors.
The big-hearted students made a plan to ride the 99% wooden bike along the promenade at Seaton on 6th February,and received sponsorship from Domino's Pizza Hartlepool, though we suspect that at least one of them probably ended up wishing it was Anusol...
Our sincere admiration goes out to not only their superb skills but also their community spirit, and you can find a link to more photos here: http://www.hartlepoolfe.ac.uk/ woodenbikeforbradley/
As you may be aware until recently the College had a policy of absolutely no smoking on campus. However, student feedback indicated that there was a need for a place for smokers to go, as in bad weather they would generally congregate in the entrance area or the public bus shelter opposite the building. To this end a covered smoking shelter with bins for the disposal of butts is now available in the car park, in front of the bike sheds (as opposed to the traditional location behind them!) Please, restrict your smoking to this area only and respect others by avoiding inflicting second-hand smoke on those who don't want to breath it in. Staff have been instructed to challenge and move on all who breach this rule, and repeat offenders will face disciplinary action. As always the College takes a proactive part in helping smokers to quit, and details of events we hold appear on Blackboard, in our social media and on the digital signage screens. NHS information can be found by visiting http://smokefree.nhs.uk/

Students go old-school to help good causes It was a mode of transport that every child who read The Beano just wanted - no NEEDED! - to have; the classic wooden go-cart. While no longer as much in demand in this age of high-tech distractions like the Nintendo X-Station and Twitbook*, talented Level 3 Carpentry & Joinery students under the supervision of Lecturer Simon White have crafted two bespoke Dennis The Menace style go-carts to raffle in aid of Hartlepool & District Hospice. Tickets were £1 a strip and were drawn on Thursday 19th December, raising a total of £216.
Left to right, back row: Ryan Lowery, Lecturer Simon White, James Bainbridge, Danny Tull, Toby Loughborough. Front Row: Joshua Jukes and Jake Dismore
*we know these aren't real things, we're just trying to be funny. Though there's probably a case for renaming Facebook "Off-Your-Facebook" based on some of the rumours we've heard...
Santa helps students get plastered Two enterprising College students earned almost £700 selling plaster Santa Claus cookie jars in the run up to Christmas, allowing them to buy brand new equipment to help with their studies. Aaron Hann and Dylan Flounders, students on the full-time Level 2 Diploma in Plastering course, donated a large amount of time into producing several hundred hand-cast cookie jars and other decorations, which they then sold at Christmas Fayres and through word of mouth. The items were smoothed and finished, and sold unpainted to allow buyers to decorate them as they saw fit, though a template was supplied to demonstrate a traditional Santa pattern. As well as gaining a lot of technical experience the lads also gained valuable business savvy, and thanks to their dedication and generosity colleagues studying plastering can now enjoy working with brand new, top of the range kit.
Above: Dylan Flounders (left) and Aaron Hann with one of their Santa cookie jars, and some of the tools they were able to buy with the profits. Inset: one of the jars properly painted and glazed.
They now plan to repeat the exercise with a range of other products.

Your books made a big difference on Holocaust Memorial Day There's a scene in the 1989 film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where Henry Jones Snr, played by Sean Connery, is interrogated by a Nazi officer over information contained in a diary. "What does this tell you that it doesn't tell us?" he is asked. "It tells me that goose-stepping morons like yourself should try reading books instead of burning them!" is the defiant reply - one that inevitably earns him a slap across the face*. As is now a regular occurrence, the College marked Holocaust Memorial Day with a series of awareness-raising activities. HMD is a national event in the United Kingdom dedicated to the remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust (from the Greek holókaustos, or "burnt") - the name given to the planned extermination of Jewish people and other "untermensch" (subhumans) by Nazi Germany in the run up to and throughout World War 2 (1939-1945). Approximately six million Jews were victims of systematic state-sponsored murder throughout the German Reich and German-occupied territories. Other victims included people of non-white origin, homosexuals, people with disabilities and people who merely voiced differing political views to those of Hitler and his followers. Of the nine million Jews who once resided in Europe before the Holocaust, approximately two-thirds were killed including over one million children. A rail-linked network of over 40,000 facilities in Germany and German-occupied territory were used to transport, concentrate, hold and eventually systematically kill inmates on an industrial-scale through the use of purpose-built gas chambers.
One of the main factors in this atrocity was the control of literature and education by the state to determine its twisted idealogy. Books (along with "degenerate" music and art) were banned and burnt, and alternative opinions were brutally suppressed. This year the College symbolically promoted the freedom to read, learn and have a self-determined opinion by collecting books for Hartlepool & District Hospice, which were gathered on a bookshelf installed in the Atrium. Carol Sennett from the Hospice came in to take possession of the collection, pictured right (in red top) with Principal Darren Hankey and Assistant Principal Viv McFarquhar, and also receive a cheque for £412.46 raised by Health & Care students through various Christmas activities. The books will be used largely by residents of the Hospice and their families and sold through the Hospice's shop in Middleton Grange. Many thanks to all of you who donated. *After making Schindler's List in 1993 Steven Spielberg said he regretted making the Nazis cartoon villains in the Indiana Jones films, which is why the most recent movie in 2008, Indian Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, featured Russian baddies.
Web Wizard has a truly magic touch Hartlepool College design student Matthew Charlton, 17, of Hartlepool, has been impressing staff and students with an amazing talent – not just in his work, but also as an amateur magician. A first year student on the College's Creative Media course studying to become a web designer, Matthew has been dazzling those around him with an array of close-up illusions of the style made popular by "street magicians" such as Derren Brown, Dynamo and Matthew's own personal inspiration David Blaine. Matthew has been a keen magician since the age of seven and is a member of Youth Magic Circle. He is also a member of the magic group run by Stephen Mulhern, a professional magician best known as the presenter of spin-off TV show Britain's Got More Talent. Specialising in card illusions, Matthew's abilities often leave his fellow students with broad grins and scratched heads, though like the best magicians he never reveals his secrets. He is now so well known amongst the College population that he often finds himself stopped in corridors and asked to perform a trick or two – something Matthew is always happy to oblige. "Web design is my current career goal and something I take seriously, but magic is my first love," he said, "and it's what I'd love to do professionally if I can get the right opportunity. My style of magic is executed extremely close to people, so I'd love to work at events as a table entertainer in restaurants, or on a cruise ship." Along with his studies Matthew is currently expanding his repertoire and working on new, larger scale illusions, and is planning to apply for TV talent shows to try and raise his profile. Matthew has also agreed to perform in the College for varies charity events - watch this space!
Learning Development Centre (LDC) is open for business As many of you will be aware, a significant part of Learning Core 1 has been converted into a new facility equipped with iPads and a spacious area for quiet study, tutorials and relaxation. No booking is necessary, though obviously space may be limited at times of high demand.
College gets some new directions The College has been installed with new internal signage featuring room numbers, key facilities and directional arrows to help make the building more accessible and easier to navigate. The 90+ signs were fitted in February in response to student feedback, part of our commitment to act on the advice and suggestions we receive wherever it is possible and practical to do so.

Students show goo-ed practice Students on Hartlepool College's CACHE Level 2 Certificate for the Children and Young People's Workforce recently made a right mess of their studies - but all on purpose as part of their learning experience. As part of a unit entitled Contribute to the Support of Child and Young Person Development they were asked to plan and implement a play session to demonstrate their awareness of suitable activities for young children. As well as a way of keeping children occupied play is a vital part of how they learn about the world around them, and when carefully structured and guided can be of enormous educational value in the development of tactile, cognitive and observational skills. The students worked in small groups to plan the session and then decided between them who would provide which resources, which included handprinting, paper mache, crafts and... well, sticking their hands in goo (actually, a valuable demonstration of materials and textures). In addition they were allocated a colleague to observe throughout the session to enhance their skills of observation. To staff and students walking past it probably looked like they were having a riot, but as those working in the sectors these students hope to enter one day will tell you, fun is a serious business!

LGBT Forum
Hartlepool Foodbank is hungry for your help
February was Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) History Month, so just a reminder that Supporting Lecturer Leon Smith has started a regular forum for the College's LGBT community. The forum is open to everyone whether they be LGBT, perhaps have questions or doubts over their sexuality, or want to support friends. Leon will be happy to provide answers to any questions, and treat everything in complete confidence. You can also find out more online: #hcferespect & #hcfelgbt
In this age of austerity and cuts, one of the saddest aspects of the financial crisis is the fact that some people simply cannot afford to eat.
For more information please contact Leon Smith on firstname.lastname@example.com
To help people who have fallen on extreme hard times, emergency food banks have appeared in many towns via charities such as The Trussell Trust, and Hartlepool is no exception. With demand rising as prices rise above inflation, Hartlepool Foodbank needs gifts of time, funds or food to help stop local people going hungry. If you would like to volunteer directly, you can help sort donated food ready for distribution, meet clients and give out food at the foodbank centre or help out at a foodbank supermarket collection day.
Counselling Services You don't need to face your problems alone. The College offers a free and confidential Student Counselling Service, where you can find someone to talk to in a completely safe, open, relaxed and non-judgemental environment.
The College has a dedicated, comfortable and secluded Counselling and Reflection Room where you can talk in privacy and confidence about ANY issues that are causing you worry.
Counselling provides creative opportunities for students to work towards living and studying in more satisfying and resourceful ways. Counsellors are trained to listen to people without judging them, and to help them make decisions or find their own way forward.
The appointment diary, like all other aspects of our Counselling service, is completely confidential, and if you feel you would benefit from advice or just someone to listen to you appointments can be discretely made at Student Services or via the College's 'Blackboard System' once a student is enrolled.
If you don't have the time to volunteer but still want to help you can contribute either financially so food can be bought, or donate food directly. The Foodbank has a shopping list of essentials it needs on a constant basis, and you can download from the website listed below. Food donations are welcome at the foodbank during their opening hours. You can check out a fundraising pack also on the website for a few ideas to get you started plus top tips on how to make your fundraising a success. If you are a person that shares the belief that no-one should go hungry in our local area, please get involved. You can find out more at http://hartlepool.foodbank.org.uk/ For information on the ways the College supports the Foodbank, please contact Diane Asensio on DAsensio@hartlepoolfe. ac.uk
Sexual health: do you have things properly covered? Did you know that on the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of every month from 10.30am to 1pm Hartlepool College hosts a free and confidential NHS sexual health advice service? Your sex life is your business and yours alone, no arguments from us. But it's also a fact that sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are disturbingly commonplace. Some are minor irritations easily treatable, others can ruin your health, your looks and even have fatal consequences, Another truth is that many people who have STIs don't show any symptoms and may not even be aware. Sex is a private thing, so people don't really advertise what they've been up to in the past.
However, it's worth remembering that when you have sex with a person, you're also potentially coming into sexual contact with everyone they've ever been with too. There's also the issue of unwanted preganancies to consider too.
The service operates on the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of every month from 10.30am to 1pm and no appointment is needed. Just call into Room 1.04, on the first floor, near the Hair Salons and Fitness Suite. Alternatively you can call or text Vicky on 07825 060135.
These subjects and many others can be discussed frankly and in confidence at the College's completely free and confidential drop-in Sexual Health Advice Service, held in conjuction with the NHS. Page 9
"Stayin' Alive" is the key to saving a life Officers from Cleveland Fire Brigade were in Hartlepool College again on 25th February 2014 to teach students and staff CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), the simple technique that can help keep somebody having a heart attack alive until medical help can arrive. Over a dozen groups were taught this basic but essential skill, which can make the difference between life and death for victims. Heart attacks are one of the world's biggest killers, and every minute that passes after one reduces the chances of survival and recovery by another 10%, so rapid first aid really is that vital. The day ended with a mass "CPR-a-thon" across three levels of the College's Atrium, set to "Stayin' Alive" by The BeeGees - a song that sets the perfect rhythm for chest compressions.

Vinnie wants you to do it hard and fast While like most organisations the College has trained first aiders, the British Heart Foundation thinks that the skills required to deal with a heart attack should be something every person has, as while the possibility of coming across an incident is slight, it still exists and is more likely to be in a public place where no first aider may be nearby. To this end they run a very effective (and entertaining) campaign called "Hard and Fast" fronted by football hardman turned actor Vinnie Jones and featuring genuine survivors of heart attacks who owe their life to CPR. You can find all details, plus a video (and a version animated in Lego!) at the BHF website: www.bhf.org.uk We strongly encourage you to check it out, as this simple bit of knowledge could literally mean the difference between life and death for someone one day.

Trainee Chefs continue to impress with their skills
Matty has sound career prospects
Lecturer Kevin Dove has sent us some more information and pics on the activities and achievements of the College's Hospitality & Catering students. First up, two teams from the College took part in the prestigious Nestle Toque' D'or competition, a significant opportunity for contestants to gain practical experience in various aspects of the hospitality industry. Team one was comprised of Jack Hunter, Beth Lowery and Andrew Tempest and team two (pictured top left) was Becky Wilkinson, Ryan Healey and Ashleigh Oliver. They had to complete a paper based examination identifying a variety of classic culinary techniques and then put together their own business plan. Both teams competed in regional heats in Glasgow and Bristol as two of only 30 teams to get that far, but unfortunately were unable to secure victory. However, all team members automatically qualified to participate in the Toque D'or work experience programme and will all take part in a work placement with one of the competitions partners, and their participation in the heats also secured catering equipment to the value of £500 from sponsor Russums, a top supplier. Level 3 student Ryan Healey (below left) was also out and about, in his case working with Rosebrook School in Stockton. The pupils are currently learning all about France and Ryan wanted to show the amazing culture of the patisserie world within France. To do this he spent the day making macarons in the colours of the French flag. Ryan was thrilled with there enthusiastic response and was delighted that the students and teachers were able to taste a little bit of Paris.
Hartlepool College is all about giving people the skills and talents they need to get on in life, but quite often they already have a great deal going for them before they get here. A good case in point is Matty Kitchen, a plumbing student who is also an aspiring rapper and musician. Matty released a single on 15th February via Ottis Music and the Red Dreams Charity called "Take Me Away", featuring Kate Williams. Otiss Music is a fresh new independent label that is looking to offer young creative artists a home, experience and development. It gives young people a goal, incentives, and a chance to achieve and belong. It also brings home the reality of how hard it is to succeed, and the importance of having a backup career like Matty. Matty is also a member of the College's Guitar Club, an enrichment activity run by Kevan Stephenson (see below left for where to find more information). Matty has recently collaborated with other students to incorporate rap into acoustic music, bringing a real edge to the club by allowing students to share and fuse their tastes in music. You can find out more about Matty at www.otissmusic.com/consept/ and watch his single at https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=OMzOSp6_qQI
An important reminder: All students need to ensure that you wear your ID badges on floors 1 to 3. This is for security reasons and all staff are under instruction to challenge any persons with no ID visible. Many thanks!
WW1 In Focus The College has produced a special edition of the Briefing which is a 12 page "primer" on the First World War to mark its centenary this year, and a version is now online for those interested in this subject: http://tiny.cc/WW1-101
Make a difference this summer As part of the national Summer Reading Challenge 2014 Stockton Libraries are looking for volunteers aged 16 to 24 to give at least 10 hours over the summer holidays. This is a real CV-booster and a chance to help the community and improve communication skills. To find out more contact Lucy CarltonWalker on 01642 528501 or email lucy. carltonwalker@ stockton.gov. uk
What, no events diary? While this newsletter might seem the ideal place for a list of forthcoming activities, one of the problems with a publication like this is that once it's published we can't easily make any amends or update new information to it, which makes adding an event diary that remains up to date very difficult. However, the College has a comprehensive online strategy to keep information, events and news as up-to-date as possible, including not only our website and Blackboard, but also accounts on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other major social media networks. In some cases such as RESPECT and sport, we use dedicated splinter accounts. You can access all from the bar along the top of our website by visiting www.hartlepoolfe.ac.uk
Multiple charities benefit from student fundraising efforts
News Snapshots Student work fast for the Philippines
A team of students from the School of Health & Care recently toured the building in November seeking donations to send to the Philippines typhoon disaster appeal. As hunger is one of the major issues of the situation, all those taking part agreed to fast for the entire day. The students raised over £145.
Torch lights its way through HCFE
Students from the School of Health & Care held an afternoon tea before the half-term in which representatives from a range of charities were welcomed and presented with cheques to support their work. This was the result of a very successful Christmas Fair in which the students raised over £800. The students selected smaller local charities that they feel make a big difference to their community and made a donation to each.
Pictured above receiving their cheques are representatives from Harbour, Families First, Hart Gables, Hartlepool Bereavement Service, Headland Future and College lecturer Mark Barker representing the RNLI. Not all of the students involved were able to attend the presentation and subsequent photoshoot (there were several more who were involved) but feedback regarding their customer service skills and professionalism was very complimentary.
As you may have seen on TV, torches for the recent 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi travelled the world as part of the biggest such event ever attempted (and even out of the planet, as one torch was handed over between spacewalking Cosmonauts in orbit). One of the torches passed through the College in mid-November in an unheralded visit, working its way between students and staff in the Luminary Fitness Suite before moving on to the next stage of its epic tour.
Army visit turns heads (and some stomachs) Students on Hartlepool College's Public Services course were given a literal taste of Army life on March 6th when soldiers from the King's Rifles visited the College. The riflemen demonstrated a variety of aspects of their daily work, including fitness, nutrition and the challenges of maintaining energy in such a demanding and high-mobility role. One of the team, Rifleman Edward Morgan, explained what a soldier would typically eat in a day with the aid of a 5000 calorie 24-hour ration pack, which includes a variety of freeze-dried and packet meals as well as snacks that can keep energy topped up throughout a day of marching, working or fighting. Also demonstrated were chlorine tablets that allow water from any source to be made drinkable, the unfortunate side-effect being that it "makes everything taste like a swimming pool". Students then got to sample some of the food, with a variety of reactions ranging from "not bad" to "I'm going to be sick" (though no-one was!) However, these are students who aim to enter a variety of military and civil uniformed services, and do so with eyes fully open thanks to visits like this one. Even though some had been put off their teas, none were put off their career goals.

Apprentice Evening was a massive success Hartlepool College held its annual Apprenticeship Open Evening on March 5th 2014 as part of National Apprenticeship Week, attracting 29 employers and hundreds of people looking for information, advice or recruitment. The College is one of the largest providers of apprenticeships in the area, with numbers far exceeding those of much larger colleges and training organisations, and has decades of experience. The event was a huge success, with very positive feedback from both employers and attendees. There were also practical demonstrations of a number of skills, and the College also set up its flight simulator.
Above: Even with the size of our Atrium, the huge number of stands and attendees pushed space to the limit.
Above: Caterpillar had one of its huge trucks on display for the full day, worth a whopping £400,000 but still actually cheaper to insure that a 17-year old with a Corsa.
Above: Steve Clayton and other members of the sport team were on hand for advice and demonstrations.
Above: The event was so significant that it attracted the top people of many employers, such as Terry Tucker of Babcock Defence Services.
Above: Student Ambassadors once again played a vital part in coordinating the event and ensuring everything ran smoothly.
Above: Steve Wallis confused a virtual helicopter with a virtual hover mower, though the trees he's heading into did look a lot neater after he'd passed over them...
Above: Attendees had a huge number of options, with something for every ambition. Many went away with armfuls of information (and the odd freebie).
Above: But it wasn't all seriousness. The tone of the evening was unpressured, and many attendees had a lot of fun and good banter.
Above: The event extended about halfway down the Conference Centre, and would have gone further had it not been for the scaffolding.
Above: As always Heerema made a big splash, with Dave Scrafton and a number of apprentices on hand, the latter celebrating a recent clean sweep at the Welding Institute regional awards.
Above: Heritage Crafts Alliance (see page 4) were also on hand, with a demonstration of traditional stonemasonry proving to be as big a draw as the more high-tech displays.
Above: Gus Robinson is one of the College's oldest and most valued partners, and no event of this kind would be complete without their presence.
The best HNC student went to Scott Pearson, the best 4th year welder went to Anthony Smith and the best overall craft 4th year apprentice went to James McIntosh. Sadly work commitments meant we couldn't organise a proper photo, but our sincere congratulations nonetheless!

Inter-college skills competitions show off top talent Thursday 13th March proved unlucky for some as Hartlepool College hosted three competitions as part of the 2014 inter-college skills competitions. While some incredible top flight skills were on show from all competitors, sadly it's the nature of these events that someone has to win and someone has to lose.
In the Flagship kitchen, Level 2 Hospitality students Natalie Chambers and Charlotte Prosser (thrid and fourth from the left in the group shot above) won their heat against East Durham College. Both teams had to prepare, cook and serve traditional chicken chasseur under the watchful eye of judge and local Executive Head Chef Mark Jones (on the left of the group picture and shown above left sampling the dishes). Mark stated that both teams produced to a high standard and it was a very close decision. The HCFE team now go through to the finals, details to be confirmed.
Down in the Skills Academy, our Level 2 Joinery students faced off against counterparts from East Durham College. East Durham had two candidates, Callum Newton and Wayne Doolan, accompanied by EDC representative Dominic Hunt. Representing Hartlepool and lecturer Simon White were Sam Ferguson, Alex Paige and Sam Brown. Judging the competition was former HCFE tutor Hedley Welsh, who also had difficulty in selecting a winner due to the high standard of work on show. In the end he awarded top honours to EDC's Callum Newton (picture at work in the centre photograph above). However, this wasn't all bad news for HCFE - Callum is one of our former students and learned much of his craft here!
Just down the corridor in the Brick workshop, HCFE took on Bishop Auckland, the students again being Level 2. Representing Bishop Auckland were Dalton Hadgson and Robert Daisley, accompanied by staff Sharon Tunstall and Gary Todd, while for HCFE Andy Hetherington supported Jamie Pearcy. Yet again there was stunning work on show, with classes working nearby taking a keen interest in the outcome and techniques. Bishop Auckland took the honours, though both colleges go onto the next round.
College students enjoy away wins Two Hartlepool College students have also proven themselves in their respective fields at inter-college competition heats hosted away from home. Tony Lally, pictured left, is a full-time student enrolled onto the Level 2 Diploma in Plumbing Studies. He won the competition in plumbing held at East Durham College at their Skills Academy. He was up against other full time students from the home side, New College Durham, Bishop Auckland and Darlington College. Adam Lloyd (right) is a full time student on the Level 2 Electrical Installation Diploma. He won the round held at Middlesbrough College against the hosts plus East Durham, Bishop Auckland and New College Durham. Both are hoping to progress onto apprenticeships and gain a Level 3 qualification. With results like this we can't imagine anything getting in their way. Our congratulations go out to both! Page 14
RESPECT is the College's well-established platform to promote equality, fairness and understanding for all individuals, and is a valuable resource across a range of teaching, learning and tutorial activities. The Respect Calendar & Guide (pictured right) is still online and active, and you can view a copy at www.hartlepoolfe.ac.uk/ respect. There are tons of activities planned, some serious, some fun, so please take a look. The core values of Respect are to promote tolerance in all forms but, paradoxically, there are a number of things we cannot tolerate when they contravene the safety, wellbeing and rights of others. We respectfully ask that you to observe the following. Smoking other than in the designated area Smoking is only allowed on campus in the designated Smoking Area. Smoking on any other part of our grounds is completely prohibited, especially around the main entrance. Littering Students are expected to use the bins and keep classrooms tidy, and this also extends to communal and dining areas. It is especially vital that any spilled drinks are reported to either the Caretakers or Reception to prevent anyone slipping and hurting themselves. Sitting in corridors Not only is this an inconvenience to pass, but also a significant safety hazard. Foul language, vandalism and agrressive behaviour Raised voices, offensive language or comments, vandalism and aggressive behaviour are absolutely not to be tolerated and CCTV evidence will be used to track and punish offenders.
What is RESPECT? The College prides itself on treating every student like an individual, whilst helping them to achieve their individual goals. We embrace diversity and we also believe that every person who passes through our doors demands our unconditional help and respect. Responsibility and Accountability: being responsible and answerable for our actions, our use of language and our treatment of others. Equality: every person in College has a voice. We value each other's opinions and perspectives. Social responsibility: we encourage people to take care of this College and this community and work together to improve it. Pro-Active: we actively support the RESPECT agenda. Education, training and information: the College champions education. All members of its community engage in on-going education, training and professional development. Caring for Others: we actively support local, national and international charities through fundraising and social activities that demonstrate care for the wider community. Transparency: we are honest and open about what we do and the way we do it.
International Happiness Day, March 20th You may have noticed the Respect team hijacked several aspects of College life during the run up to International Happiness Day. Firstly we asked for suggestions from staff, and from the several thousand replies actually had two or three that were useable. Brian Barnes also sent out a playlist of feelgood music, and finally the College's digital information screens were replaced on the day by a tongue-in-cheek "guide" to a happier life. In case you missed it we present a selection of the screens below for your enjoyment...
The Secret of Happiness? Many have tried to define it scientifically. The current Government even has a Happiness Index with which to measure it, and hundreds of websites claim to share the secret (if you have Paypal that is). Even films have tried, like the Will Smith movie The Pursuit of Happyness, which apparently thought that misspelling words would help. Back in the 1980s TV told us "Happiness is a cigar called Hamlet" (it's not) and Arnold Schwarzenegger's Conan The Barbarian defined it as "To crursh yur er-nermies, spill dur blood and listen to dur lar-men-tay-shuns of dur vimmen" (definitely not!)
If music be the food of smiles... As part of the day's activities College staff were asked to submit songs that made them happy, which were played in the College's Atrium. Nearly 40 did so, and it was an eclectic mix to say the least, and you can play and enjoy (or not possibly!) the selections here: http://bit.ly/NxkNsk
Bulletin Board
Hartlepool College of Further Education
Like staff and visitors, all College students are now issued with an Identity Badge so we can tell who's authorised to be in the College and who isn't. Not wearing yours may not appear to be a big deal, but it really does make the campus safer and more secure. Staff are under instructions to stop and challenge everyone who doesn't display clearly a valid ID. So, please help us to maintain security by wearing your badge while on campus. Many thanks for your cooperation.
If your ID is lost or stolen you must inform Student Services immediately.
Hartlepool College of Further Education
If someone is injured or feels ill, EVERY second counts! The College has a trained First Aid team constantly on duty. Even if an injury or symptoms seem minor, that may not be the case so you need to let a First Aider know immediately to make sure.

|Jeffs Open Season with 28-3 Win at Hamilton
Jeffs Open Season with 28-3 Win at Hamilton
The Jeffs wasted no time getting on the scoreboard as they marched 52 yards to the end zone on their opening possession. Senior tailback Ngai Otieno (Gloucester, MA) led the drive carrying six times for 46 yards, including a seven-yard plunge for the score.
Hamilton seemed to gain a little momentum on the ensuing drive as senior quarterback Brandon Holtslag (Whitesboro, NY) completed three straight passes to bring the Continentals out to midfield, but they would stall there and be forced to punt. After a pair of three-and-outs by both squads, Holtslag managed to pin the Jeffs down inside their own 20-yard line with a 42-yard punt with just over a minute left in the opening quarter. An illegal-substitution penalty and a run for no gain left the Jeffs with a third-and-15 situation on their own 10-yard line, but Hannon responded for Amherst, lining up at quarterback and taking a sweep 90 yards for a touchdown and a 14-0 advantage.
Amherst stretched its lead to 21-0 on their next possession as Hannon reeled off another long run, this time scampering 23 yards, and junior quarterback Nick Kehoe (Washington Depot, CT) capped the six-play, 76-yard drive with a 30-yard touchdown strike to sophomore receiver Mike Myers (Foxboro, MA) .
Hamilton finally answered on the following drive, capitalizing on a pair of Amherst personal foul penalties to march down inside the Amherst 10-yard line. The Jeff defense bent, but didn't break as they kept the Continentals out of the end zone with three straight stops. Junior Pete Kopp (King Ferry, NY) put Hamilton on the scoreboard with a 24-yard field goal to prevent the shutout.
Amherst carried its 21-3 advantage into the break and neither side could muster much offense in the third quarter. Hamilton began driving towards the end of the session and moved down to the Amherst 20-yard line to start the fourth. However, the Jeffs would quell the drive there as senior outside linebacker Justin Roemer (Jupiter, FL) broke up a Holtslag pass attempt on fourth-and-eight to force a turnover-on-downs.
Kehoe ignited the Jeffs' aerial attack, completing four straight passes for 62 yards to move the Jeffs down the field, and junior tailback Will Beeson (Kansas City, MO) capped the drive with a five-yard touchdown run to all-but-seal the win. If all hope was not lost for Hamilton at this point, it was quickly diminished as Amherst sophomore safety Rob Grammer (Glen Rock, NJ) snatched his first career interception to secure the victory.
Otieno finished with 103 yards on 16 carries, while Beeson and senior Dom Cama (Miami Lakes, FL) tallied 56 and 41 yards on the ground, respectively. Kehoe finished 11-for-17 passing for 146 yards, and rookie backup quarterback Greg Hagar (Allentown, PA) completed his first two collegiate tosses, going two-for-two for 19 yards. Junior wideout Justin Macione (Mansfield, MA) hauled in a team-high four receptions for 29 yards.
The Amherst defense racked up 10 tackles-for-loss resulting in 33 negative yards for Hamilton. Junior inside linebacker Greg Muecke (Atlanta, GA) led the way with a team-high seven tackles, including six solo takedowns and one for loss, while classmate Brendan McKee (Hull, MA) spent plenty of time in the Hamilton backfield, notching a trio of tackles-for-loss. Grammer tallied six tackles (1.5 for loss) to go with his interception, while senior outside linebacker Kelvin Coker (New York, NY) and senior tri-captain L.J. Spinnato (Madison, CT) each posted a sack.
Holtslag paced the Continentals with 155 yards of total offense, including 115 through the air on 16-of-27 passing. Sophomore wideout Joe Rinaldo (Canastota, NY) hauled in eight of those passes, racking up 48 yards receiving. Sophomore defensive back Matt Pitarresi (New Hartford, NY) led the Hamilton defense with a game-high nine tackles.
Amherst returns to action next Saturday at 1 p.m. in its home opener against visiting NESCAC rival Bowdoin College.

text: Continuously, through these years of name change, the sawmill poured out lumber ten hours a day, six days a week. The mill produced, in an average ten hour day, forty thousand board feet of hardwood lumber and sixty thousand in softwood, the "boxmill" production was in addition to that. There were numerous (8-20) lumber camps cutting 8, 12, and 16 foot logs for transport to the mill, and twenty to thirty miles of narrow gauge railroad was laid to transport the logs. The main railroad line went northeast toward Glen Cove with several spurs that went up north of Dry Lake, east to Marble Head and south, nearly to Bass Cove, to haul logs out to Scammon Cove. These logs were sawed into lumber at the mill in Johnswood and shipped out on sailing boats. In its heyday, Johnswood had a mill working two 10-hour shifts, a company store, a boarding house, a row of two-story houses, a row of one-story houses, a clubhouse, a silent-picture theater, a small hospital and was served by telegraph, a school, a post office and the above mentioned railroad. The mill caught fire in 1920 and by 1925 the Johnswood operations were shut down. The Finns, led to Drummond Island by Maggie Walz, dispersed across the Island and today their descendants continue to make up a significant percentage of the Island residents.

Bladder Mesh Lawsuit, Bladder Mesh Sling Lawsuit | Lawsuits Lawyer Attorney
Bladder Mesh Lawsuit, Bladder Mesh Sling Lawsuit | Bladder Mesh Recall, Recall On Bladder Mesh, Bladder Mesh Complications, Bladder Mesh Repair, Bladder Mesh Sling Complications, Bladder Mesh Procedure, Bladder Mesh Problems | Lawsuits Lawyer Attorney
Mesh slings in the bladder, which are implanted to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or pelvic organ prolapse (POP), are associated with serious, possibly life-threatening complications that are not rare, according to a 2011 bladder mesh FDA report on the safety and effectiveness of these devices. In fact, the FDA warned in this jaw-dropping report that approximately 10 percent of women who undergo bladder mesh repair for POP will require revision surgery due to bladder mesh problems within 1 year of having these devices implanted. Even more serious, however, is the fact that 7 deaths associated with bladder mesh problems have been reported from 2008 through 2010. The FDA issued this bladder mesh warning after reviewing the results of more than 110 studies focused on the risks of these devices.
Victims of Vaginal Mesh Implants have filed numerous bladder mesh lawsuits throughout the United States against the makers of these devices, including:
- American Medical Systems' Elevate, Perigee and Apogee Transvaginal Mesh Devices
- Boston Scientific's Advantage Transvaginal Mid-Urethral Sling System, Pinnacle Posterior Pelvic Floor Repair Kit, Obtryx Transobturator Mid-Urethral Sling System, Polyform Synthetic Mesh, Prefyx Mid U Mesh Sling System, Prefyx PPS System, Uphold Vaginal Support System Products
- C.R. Bard's Avaulta, Pelvisoft BioMesh, Pelivicol Acellular Collagen Matrix, Pelvitext, and Pelvilace Transvaginal Mesh Devices
- Johnson & Johnson/Ethicon's Gynecare, Gynemesh, Gynecare Prolift, Gynecare Prolift+M, Gynecare Prosima and Gynecare TVT Products
The bladder mesh lawyers at Wright & Schute, LLC are currently reviewing bladder mesh lawsuit claims from women who claim to have been severely injured and/or required revision surgery as a result of defective bladder mesh devices. Our skilled attorneys are dedicated to defending victims' rights and holding negligent medical device manufacturers responsible for the physical and emotional trauma bladder mesh slings have caused thousands of American women. We strongly encourage injured parties to receive a free bladder mesh lawsuit consultation and learn more about their legal rights by emailing us or calling us toll-free at 1-800-399-0795.
Bladder Mesh Complications and Symptoms
Given the research and FDA bladder mesh warnings that point to the serious risks associated with these devices, it's important that women who are considering having one implanted – as well as those who already have a mesh sling implant – are aware of the possible complications and symptoms of bladder mesh sling failure. Among them are:
- Bladder mesh erosion through the vaginal lining (clinically referred to as the vaginal epithelium)
- Bladder mesh erosion through internal tissue
- Vaginal scarring
- Urinary pain from bladder mesh
- Urinary problems from bladder mesh
- Pain from bladder mesh during sexual intercourse (clinically known as dyspareunia)
- Recurrence of Stress Urinary Incontinence
- Recurrence of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
- Perforation of blood vessels from bladder mesh
- Perforation of bowel from bladder mesh
- Perforation of bladder from bladder mesh
- Infections from bladder mesh
- An overall negative effect on patients' quality of life from bladder mesh
The FDA Report on Bladder Mesh Implants | Defective Bladder Mesh Repair
A 2011 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) report stated bladder mesh implants used to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or pelvic organ prolapse (POP) do not offer greater improvements to the physical problems, than traditional surgeries that do not involve these bladder mesh slings. The FDA's report also brings to light the following points:
- Vaginal mesh complications are not rare.
- Approximately 10 percent of women with these devices experience serious problems that require revision surgery and possibly vaginal mesh removal within 12 months of having the device implanted. In some cases, woman will require multiple surgeries.
- From 2008 through 2010, seven woman have died as a result of vaginal mesh problems and post-operative complications.
The FDA reviewed a 110 studies regarding problems with bladder mesh implant as part of the issuing of this bladder mesh report. The report also states further studies need to be done even after problems with bladder mesh have been concluded. The FDA still has not issued a nationwide bladder mesh recall.
In 2008 the FDA did recommend that physicians who do implant bladder mesh devices receive extra training regarding the implantation of these devices, it also recommended that patients receive further check ups and evaluations after implantation of a bladder mesh device. It also recommended that patients be aware of the possibility of bladder mesh complications and bladder mesh problems so they can seek immediate medical attention.
Women who begin to experience symptoms of bladder mesh sling problems should seek emergency medical care in order to prevent potentially fatal complications. Because the FDA has yet to issue a full-fledged recall on bladder mesh slings, injured women are encouraged to file injury reports with the FDA and consumer advocacy groups. Additionally, they are also strongly urged to join bladder mesh class action lawsuits or work with a bladder mesh attorney to file an individual personal injury lawsuit in order to hold manufacturer of their defective mesh implant financially responsible for the damage it has caused.

Is It Time to Talk Innovation? PIT Holds First Conference
POINTE-CLAIRE, QC — Truckers know that in this industry it can occasionally be difficult to keep up with the fast-paced, ever-changing latest technology, but that it helps to be at the forefront of innovation.
That's why the Performance Innovation Transport (PIT) group, a not-for-profit engineering and research enterprise that's part of FPInnovations, is hosting its first ever conference on Feb. 18 at the Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel.
"As technology developers race to be first to market with new innovations, fleet operators are often overwhelmed and ultimately disappointed with this 'rush to market' attitude," PIT states. "More than ever before there is a need for both parties to meet and focus on important needs: cost control, safety, drivers."
The conference will bring together 350 industry leaders and innovators.
PIT claims there will be an opportunity for frank conversation between developers, suppliers and fleet owners about the emerging technology about to hit the trucking industry.
PIT's Honorary President is Christopher Trajkovski, Bison Transport's VP of fleet maintenance. He commented: "Bison Transport is proud to be associated with the PIT Conference. We believe that innovation is key in our company's success and we need to be at the forefront of new development."
Some of the topics covered at the conference are:
• Emerging technology in trucking
• Driver's assistance
• Connected vehicles
The sessions will be chaired by Today's Trucking's VP Editorial, Rolf Lockwood and Contributing Editor Jim Park, who is also equipment editor at Truckinginfo.com and Itamar Levine, director of sales and marketing at Hendrickson.

Ive got htdig installed, and have been using it for a few weeks now.
Ive got a site www.mustela.com, that htdig will not find more than 75%
of the words that I know are on there. I have the start url to be

the world mustela several times. However, if I search for mustela, I
get no result. Other words such as diaper, are in there several times,
but do not show up in the search. Am I missing something completely

Which prior 7 series was best?
Which was your favorite?
I voted E38...because I own one :)
But seriously, for me the E38 was the best looking of all the 7 Series, closely followed by the E65 and then E32. Only problem with the E38 that I have found is that the engineering is not as good as previous models. Trim starting to wear, gearbox problems, engine problems, cooling systems etc...
Now, if you could get the style and looks of an E38 matched with E32 mechanics... :)
My vote goes for the E65......:thumbup:
I voted for the E38 because i used to own one (2001) untill i sold it and bought the E66 (2003). Design-wise, the E38 was the best 7er but technology-wise the E66 wins hands down. I loved the design of the E38 because the height was just right...it wasn't too long and it was wide enough for it's proportion. I just hated the front cup holders that came with the E38. Other than that, it was my favorite 7er.
The technology on the E66 was awesome and the best so far; the iDrive, dynamic drive controller, active steering, pull-out phone pad, soft-close doors, remote trunk open/close, well designed front cup holders and the biggest center console storage in a 7er. Almost everything was controlled with the iDrive and i loved it because people couldn't mess with most of the stuff; radio, a/c, etc whenever they got in the car. It was my plan to keep my E66 as a collectors item for me but i messed up and traded it in. I took care of that car very well and never had any issues with it despite all the issues that others were having with the first generation E66. Can't see myself buying a used E66 for keeps though.
With all that said, the F02 has being a great ride so far and it's just awesome driving it. Just for kicks, i went to a mercedes dealership and told the sales rep it was his job to convince me to trade-in my 09 750Li for 09 S600. He gave me the key and told me to take it for a ride for as long as i want. After almost 45 minutes of driving the S600 around town and on the interstate, i couldn't see myself ditching the 750Li. The mercedes felt good driving but something was missing interms of the sportiness. When i got back to the dealership the sales rep was all excited and even had the paper work ready but i told him the S600 didn't have the sport handling of the 7er...to which he admitted but said the S600 was more luxurious than the 750Li. I politely disagree with him, got into my car and as soon as i got on the interstate i switch into Sports + mode and enjoyed the ride back home.
From looking at the 7er generations, can i predict the next BMW 7 series generation will be MY 2017?
E23 (19771986) 9 year gap
E32 (19871995) 8 year gap
E38 (19942001) 7 year gap
E65/E66 (20022008) 6 year gap
It seems to decrease 1 year per generation so for F01/F02 (2009-2014) 5 year gap and then the next generation will be a MY2015.
It certainly wont be less than 6 years. I suspect we will see a refresh for MY2012/MY2013 and a new model for MY2015/MY2016.
Bmw 760li f01
My opinion : the BMW 760LI F01 ; it has massive power , four wheel drive (not Xdrive) and is a long wheelbase with many options such as tv,dvd,game-console-possibility's .
E32 cuz it was my first car
I saw a video on it and it has a lot of lesser known features and design elements that you can appreciate.
I had an 74 bavaria ( don't know the e code) i survived a 50 mph head on collision in that car, so that has to be my favorite for saving my life. next to that I had an e38. hands down the most painful car i ever left. I had 356,000 miles on the odo it rode like a dream and had the best seats. my F02 could easily out handle and out accelerate my e38, but i think i love the e 38 for all around town driving the best.

In general, to be succeesful in online learning, student should possess the following qualities:
In the Virtual Classroom, nearly all communication is written, so it is critical that students feel comfortable in expressing themselves in writing. Many students have limited writing abilities, which should be addressed before or as part of the online experience.
With the freedom and flexibility of the online environment comes responsibility. The online process takes a real commitment and discipline to keep up with the flow of the process.
If a student is experiencing difficulty on any level (either with the technology or with the course content), he or she must communicate this immediately. Otherwise the instructor will never know what is wrong.
Online is not easier than the traditional educational process. In fact, many students will say it requires much more time and commitment.
The requirements for online coruses are no less than that of any traditional classroom instructions. The successful student will view online as a convenient way to receive their education – not an easier way.
The learning process requires the student to make decisions based on facts as well as experience. Assimilating information and executing the right decisions requires critical thought; case analysis does this very effectively.
To get access to online courses and learn online, Students must have access to a computer and the Internet connection and other necessary equipment.
Meaningful and quality input into the virtual classroom is an essential part of the learning process. Time is given in the process to allow for the careful consideration of responses. The testing and challenging of ideas is encouraged; you will not always be right, just be prepared to accept a challenge.
The online learning process is normally accelerated and requires commitment on the student's part. Staying up with the class and completing all work on time is vital.

Complete Database Restores (Simple Recovery Model)
In a complete database restore, the goal is to restore the whole database. The whole database is offline for the duration of the restore. Before any part of the database can come online, all data is recovered to a consistent point in which all parts of the database are at the same point in time and no uncommitted transactions exist.
Under the simple recovery model, the database cannot be restored to a specific point in time within a specific backup.
A full database restore under the simple recovery model involves one or two RESTORE statements, depending on whether you want to restore a differential database backup. If you are using only a full database backup, just restore the most recent backup, as shown in the following illustration.
If you are also using a differential database backup, restore the most recent full database backup without recovering the database, and then restore the most recent differential database backup and recover the database. The following illustration shows this process.
Basic Transact-SQL RESTORE Syntax
The basic Transact-SQLRESTORE syntax for restoring a full database backup is:
RESTORE DATABASE database_name FROM backup_device [ WITH NORECOVERY ]
The basic RESTORE syntax for restoring a database backup is:
RESTORE DATABASE database_name FROM backup_device WITH RECOVERY
Example (Transact-SQL)
The following example first shows how to use the BACKUP statement to create a full database backup and a differential database backup of the AdventureWorks2012 database. The example then restores these backups in sequence. The database is restored to its state as of the time that the differential database backup finished.
The example shows the critical options in a restore sequence for the complete database restore scenario. A restore sequence consists of one or more restore operations that move data through one or more of the phases of restore. Syntax and details that are not relevant to this purpose are omitted. When you recover a database, we recommend explicitly specifying the RECOVERY option for clarity, even though it is the default.
USE master; --Make sure the database is using the simple recovery model. ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 SET RECOVERY SIMPLE; GO -- Back up the full AdventureWorks2012 database. BACKUP DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 TO DISK = 'Z:\SQLServerBackups\AdventureWorks2012.bak' WITH FORMAT; GO --Create a differential database backup. BACKUP DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 TO DISK = 'Z:\SQLServerBackups\AdventureWorks2012.bak' WITH DIFFERENTIAL; GO --Restore the full database backup (from backup set 1). RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 FROM DISK = 'Z:\SQLServerBackups\AdventureWorks2012.bak' WITH FILE=1, NORECOVERY; --Restore the differential backup (from backup set 2). RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 FROM DISK = 'Z:\SQLServerBackups\AdventureWorks2012.bak' WITH FILE=2, RECOVERY; GO

Having 6 adults 4 children (age 1-9) over for a birthday dinner.
The limitation is that I won't get home from work until 6pm, and will need to eat pretty much straight away. So need mainly prepare in advance foods.
What would you cook?
And 1 adult is coeliac so has to be gluten free (although I'm pretty good at adapting most recipes, so non-gluten free ideas also appreciated
Also does anyone have a failsafe gluten free bday cakes recipes?
Posted 26 February 2013 - 03:42 PM
Already cooked lasagne (I assume there is glutton free lasagne sheets). Then you could just pop in oven with garlic bread and it will heat while you do up a simple green salad.

How about a couple of different curries? Then you just need to cook rice and reheat everything on the day. Many curries taste better the next day anyway!
(I've never found glutton free lasagne sheets, no matter what sort I use it's delicious and I can't stop eating it!)
Posted 26 February 2013 - 03:52 PM
Nachos, tacos and fajitas.
Do a roast in the slowcooker that you can pull apart and do roast meat rolls with gravy and potato salad and tossed salad.
Posted 26 February 2013 - 04:42 PM
You could do make your own pizza night.. Have everything cut up the day before, make dough and leave to rise while you're at work.
Posted 26 February 2013 - 04:49 PM
I'd do meatballs in a tomato sauce (pre-make and bake, then just heat that night). If you are feeling indulgent, also pre-bake a potato bake at the same time.
I use a meatball recipe with rice, rather than breadcrumbs, so that it is gluten-free.
Something like this:
Serve with some steamed green beans.

Mechanic turns talents to bicycles, new shop in Mequon
After winning scholarships in national high school auto repair contests, Nicholas Moroder was speeding toward a career in the car business.
He took a detour, after he found he hated working on other people's cars.
"The best you could tell them is your car is only a little broken; people are always upset," he explained.
Moroder found a happier application of his mechanical skills – for him and his customers – by fixing bicycles. And the discovery led to the start of the BelgianWerkx bicycle studio and gallery in Mequon, set to open on Jan. 14.
The 28-year-old is excited to be taking a gamble on his passion.
"I've been working long days, but it doesn't feel like it because I'm doing something I love," said Moroder, a Grafton High School grad.
"I'm a little nervous, focusing on higher-end clientele in this economy, but I think people are being smarter with their dollars and want quality," he said. "We wouldn't be opening if we didn't think it was a good idea."
BelgianWerkx will open with four brands of road and cyclocross bikes: Cannondale, Focus, Ridley and Seven.
More than volumes of product, the store will build on service and customized fitting. One of only three shops in the state to offer the Retul Bike Fit system, BelgianWerkx devotes nearly half its 1,500 square feet to the fit studio, and Moroder traveled to the company headquarters in Boulder, Colo., to become certified on the 3D motion capture equipment.
Sensors measure body parts and angles off nine LED lights attached to the customer, capturing a rider in motion to pinpoint the proper bike size, down to the millimeter. A proper fit will improve performance and prevent injury.
"It doesn't matter if your bike cost $6,000, if it doesn't fit you, it's worthless," Moroder said.
Bill Koehler, a 50-year-old masters road racer, believes in the importance of a properly sized bike, and Moroder. The owner of Wisconsin Discount Securities invested the capital to start BelgianWerkx.
"I'm not going to say it's a good investment," he said. "It's more about the passion than the money. I've always wanted to be involved in a bike shop.
"Nick running the business was the key. He has an amazing bike mind. He's a bike savant."
The business partners met when Moroder worked as manager of Local Motion Outfitters in Cedarburg. Koehler raced his bikes. Moroder fixed them.
They shared a vision for the bike shop they wanted.
"I would like to serve the cycling enthusiast, not just the racing community, but the fitness enthusiast, and offer personalized service that you don't get in bigger shops," Koehler said. "It's more of a personalized service and custom bike studio feel, but without the custom bike studio prices."
Koehler organized the criterium race in Cedarburg that was part of the International Cycling Classic and plans to make the shop a part of the local race community by sponsoring the Giro 'd Grafton and a masters cyclocross team. He envisions BelgianWerkx as a gathering place for cyclists, with coffee, art work and DVDs of the great races and racers, including Eddy Merckx, the Belgian champion and four time Tour de France winner who served as the inspiration for the shop name.
Grand Opening: BelgianWerkx will be giving away bike gear prizes as part of its grand opening. To enter, go to their web site and punch in Retul in the prize code box.

18As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No. 19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, Silvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No; but in him it is always Yes. 20For in him every one of Gods promises is a Yes. For this reason it is through him that we say the Amen, to the glory of God. 21But it is God who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us, 22by putting his seal on us and giving us his Spirit in our hearts as a first instalment.

This is the watch that derives its unerring accuracy from an atomic master clock that neither gains nor loses a second in 80 million years. The watch automatically calibrates itself up to six times a day via a radio signal from the U.S. Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, CO, ensuring that its luminescent hands and LED lit digital panel display the time precisely. The watch automatically adjusts itself for daylight saving, and when traveling between time zones, the touch of a button displays the local time. It includes a calendar, an integrated stopwatch, and can be set to sound three daily alarms or to chime on the hour. A rechargeable battery stores solar energy collected by a photovoltaic cell in the watch's face, providing up to five months of use from a full charge. Water resistant down to 300'. With a stainless steel bezel and adjustable 3/4"-wide black rubber strap that fits wrists 6" to 8". Watch case 2 1/8" L x 1 3/4" W x 1/2" D. (3 1/2 oz.)

When I took the watch out of the box, it immediately adjusted the time for the Arctic. It was mentioned it would not by others, But this watch works great. I have other clocks that use similar technology, they have problems keeping the correct timezone. This watch does not. This watch stays on time at the top of the world.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Recommended! Just Excellent!
By GTR Man
from Ontario, Canada
This is my everyday wristwatch. I was sold on its claims of accuracy, nor does the description lie.Even after I got carried away playing with the buttons -- I REALLY screwed up the date and time -- it simply took over and reset itself to the correct date and time overnight. It's definitely worth having; a watch which DELIBERATELY presents correct time -- imagine that!If I had any complaint at all, I question the unnecessarily demarcated bezel. But I suppose it does add to the aesthetic.
Love the Watch!
By Pom Mom
from Huntsville, AL
Hubby's Christmas present. He loves the watch, but had to take it to a jeweler to get the settings correct; even the jeweler didn't know exactly how he did it (was given the booklet, too). Other than that, he just loves the watch. Looks great, and keeps perfect time.

Cool watch, but too thick
By Mary
from Austin, TX
This watch is very cool, it does what is advertised, and I could follow the instructions for the various functions without difficulty. However, I'm a woman, and it's a men's watch. I ordered it because I have not found a woman's watch like it, and it's just what I wanted. It is just too thick for me to wear on my wrist without digging into my hand - but again, it's meant for a man. If they would just make one about half the size for a woman...

The always accurate watch
By Dawn the bus driver
from Toronto, Canada
I am a city bus driver. The dual time is very useful. The 24 hr time for work and the regular time with the hands make it easy to fill out forms fast or answer questions about bus times. I am a woman and would have appreciated a slightly smaller watch.
I definitly would buy this product again
By Diane
from Zephyrhills, FL
My husband had a similar watch but it finally died. He had bought it in France back in 2000. He loves the merchandise in your catalog and I knew he needed a replacement. Worked out Perfectly. It was for his birthday so I could not respond to you email of 8/19/13 until I gave it to him on 9/3/13. He loves the watch

Fast Thin Gluten Free Pizza
Recipe by Attainable Health
I accidentally came up with this recipe one night when I was baking mozzarella sticks and accidentally left it in the oven too long! It turned out tasting just like pizza so I'm grateful for my mistake!
Top Review by Nif_H
What a tasty dish! I made this on parchment paper so I could have easily skipped the flour - it didn't really seem to add anything to the recipe. I used low fat mozzarella (twice the amount) so it wasn't greasy at all. I also sliced some grape tomatoes and really liked them on this. Maybe some fresh herbs, sauteed mushrooms or some spinach would be good too! Made for my adopted chef for Spring PAC 2013. Thanks Attainable Health! :)
