LONDON Britain's beloved pint may be facing a downsizing.
The office that sets measurement standards said Friday that its proposed two-thirds pint measure for draft beer and cider could be on tap as soon as April.
Proponents of the new glass size say they like it because it would give consumers more options at the bar.
The pint is so much a part of British life that it survived the European Union switch to half-liters. And there already is a half-pint glass for those who want a lighter lunch or a clearer head.
Supporters of the new-size glass hope it will appeal to female drinkers, who traditionally eschew a full pint.
"It's hard ordering a drink on a date," said Emma Ross, 28, a postgraduate student having a beer with lunch in a London pub. "If I order a half-pint, it's ladylike, but where's my sense of adventure? If I order a pint, I know how to have a good time, but I don't want to advertise it to every guy standing at the bar."
Ross was drinking a half-pint (284 milliliters) of Stella Artois. For lunch at least, she said she probably wouldn't have ordered a two-thirds pint, which would contain 378.5 milliliters.
That's slightly more than 12 ounces.
Neil Williams, spokesman for the British Beer and Pub Association, said the two-thirds pint would be similar in size to many Continental bottled beers, encouraging customers to order these brews by the draft.
"It's not for every consumer or every venue," Williams said. "It just makes sense to add the two-thirds pint because for some customers and styles of beer, it'll just seem like the right size."
Williams said the new measurement would appeal to the lunch crowd and drinkers of specialty beers with higher alcohol contents.
But Jonathan Mail, spokesman for the Campaign for Real Ale, said a two-thirds pint could lead to too much drinking.
"People tend to measure their consumption by the number of pints they've drunk," Mail said. "If they're drinking a mix of pints and two-thirds pints, then that becomes quite a complicated calculation after a few drinks."
The National Weights and Measurements Laboratory is currently consulting bar owners and others on the proposed new glass size. If the laboratory adds the two-thirds pint as a standard unit of measurement, British pubs will have the option of serving draft beer by the partial pint.

Helichrysum petiolare (licoriceplant) is a shrub (family Asteraceae) found in forested areas and coastal scrub on the central coast, including the southern side of Mt. Tamalpais and the Monterey Peninsula. Licoriceplant is a landscape ornamental that has escaped cultivation, invading undisturbed habitats. It reproduces by seed and vegetatively from stem fragments. The extent of its impacts are unknown, but it can grow to form dense stands that may crowd out native plants. Licoriceplant has been growing outside of cultivation for several decades, but these naturalized populations do not appear to spread very rapidly.

I finished high school to the sounds of Rod Stewart, Creedence, Jimi Hendrix, the Stones, Simon and Garfunkel, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Cat Stevens. It was when folk rock and metal were all around. For me, music was a window into a world a long way away from Drouin, the small town in country Victoria that I grew up in. Exotic clothes, language and the fact that these musicians lived different lives we aspired to was all part of the attraction, as well as the fact that their music was and is so good.
Seventies music is special. Many of the musicians I grew up with are still performing and commanding audiences and airplay worldwide, even if some seem a bit past it.
When I left home to go to university I had a tiny record player on which I could play my Creedence, Dylan, Cat Stevens and Donovan LPs. On the radio, J.J. Cale and Harry Nilsson became etched into my mind as the music I met and romanced my wife by. There was also disco and David Cassidy, but you can't have everything.
Glam rock and punk came and went, as did disco and other trends, but for me the blues-based music of Van Morrison, the cool West Coast sound of the Eagles and country music of JJ Cale and Creedence are still amongst the best there is, and I listen to it all the time, only now on CD or MP3 rather than vinyl.

Coping With Chronic Illness: What Goes Wrong
When it comes to self-managing chronic conditions, patients often make mistakes.
WebMD Feature
Reviewed By Brunilda Nazario
The symptoms range from mild nuisances to crippling pain. Even if these less-than-pleasant reminders recede, the underlying conditions don't. Why? Because they're chronic, which means they cannot be cured. And they strike one in 10 Americans. Despite the incurable nature of chronic conditions, proper self-management can help ease associated symptoms and prevent complications. Why, then, do so many chronic conditions go uncontrolled?
"People tend to deny they have a chronic illness," says Kate Lorig, DrPH, RN, professor of medicine at Stanford University. And no wonder. Oftentimes, along with the diagnosis of a chronic condition, shocking in and of itself, comes the mandate to make several significant lifestyle changes -- immediately. Such news can overwhelm patients. Hence, this reaction: "Some people figure, 'I'm going to continue to do everything I did before,'" Lorig tells WebMD. Or they pick and choose elements of the regimen their doctors prescribe.
Common Mistakes in Self-Management
Experts on prevalent chronic conditions share with WebMD common self-management mistakes that patients make.

Arbol chili peppers can pack a lot of heat, so if you prefer, omit them from the cooking process and add a dash of cayenne pepper to the finished pâté instead.
Make Ahead: The pâté can be made, covered and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.
Servings: 6
Yield: Makes about 1 1/2 cups
- 2 tablespoons raw, unsalted sunflower seeds
- Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon caraway seed
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 medium (8 ounces) carrots
- 1 dried arbol chili pepper, split in half lengthwise, seeds discarded (see headnote)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1-inch piece ginger root, preferably young
- 2 teaspoons white or brown rice miso
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Soak the sunflower seeds in a small bowl with water to cover for 30 minutes; drain. Mash to a paste with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle.
While the sunflower seeds are soaking, toast the caraway seed in a small skillet over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until fragrant. Grind with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle and allow to cool.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and golden and reduced in volume by about two-thirds. Add the caraway seed, remove the skillet from the heat, cover and cool.
Peel the carrots and cut them into pieces approximately 1/2 inch by 1 inch. Transfer to a large saucepan or small Dutch oven and add 1 teaspoon of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the chili pepper and the water. Bring almost to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the carrots are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool.
Peel the ginger root and cut it into 1 or 2 pieces. Use the flat side of a knife to mash it completely flat, then mince; alternately, grate the ginger root.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the carrots to the bowl of a food processor (discard the chili pepper). Add the onion, ginger, sunflower seed paste, the remaining 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of oil, and the miso, and process until smooth and creamy, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the lemon juice and pulse to combine. Taste, and add salt if needed.

|2004N-0181 - Critical Path Initiative; Establishment of Docket

| 2. Please rank each hurdle identified in Question 1, above, in priority order according to which hurdles create the most severe product development problems.
| About ALS
ALS is a fatal, neurodegenerative disease that attacks nerve cells and pathways in the brain and spinal cord, ultimately resulting in a loss of voluntary muscle control, paralysis and death. More than 5,600 Americans are diagnosed with ALS each year and an estimated 30,000 are living with the disease today. Although the average life expectancy for ALS patients is two to five years from the time of diagnosis, many patients are living longer, more productive lives thanks to recent advances in research and improved medical care. Despite these advances, there is no known cause or cure for the disease, nor is there a means of prevention. Moreover, there currently is only one drug on the market, Rilutek, used in the treatment of ALS. Therefore, The Association welcomes any efforts by FDA to examine ways to speed innovation and the development of new products that could benefit ALS patients.
The comments we are providing are intended as a preliminary assessment of our concerns and thoughts on the critical path of the product development process. We look forward to working with the FDA and other concerned stakeholders on this initiative and to providing the Agency additional input as it continues to explore new approaches in the development process.
Encouraging Research and Development of ALS-Specific Products
ALS is designated as an ?orphan disease,? affecting less than 200,000 patients. As a result, many of the problems associated with the development of products to treat ALS concern the initial stages of the drug development process ? providing incentives for manufacturers to conduct ALS- specific product development research and matching ALS researchers with manufacturers willing to develop and market a product. However, we are pleased that the data show that orphan drugs have faster clinical development times, lower costs of development, and more significant end markets than products for common diseases. The regulatory environment established for orphan drugs, including the availability of treatment INDs for drugs to treat seriously ill patients who have no treatment options, tax credits and marketing exclusivity arrangements, has enabled many orphan drugs to reach market quicker than those for more common diseases. Indeed, The Association supports the incentives available through the Orphan Drug Act.
Nevertheless, as FDA itself has noted, there are several areas of the critical path ? assessment of safety, proof of efficacy, and industrialization ? that hinder product development and which can be improved. We have listed below a few of those areas as well as some that facilitate development.
| 5. Nature of the Solution. For each problem identified, please describe the evaluation tool that would solve the problem and the work necessary to create and implement the tool/solution. For example, would a solution come from scientific research to
| Conclusions
The ALS Association applauds the FDA for its efforts to determine what changes can be made to improve the product development process so that patients will continue to benefit from our nation?s increasing commitment to the funding of medical research. Because ALS is an orphan disease, many of our immediate concerns lie in the need to encourage manufacturer involvement in the research that can lead to product drug development rather than in the development process itself. However, we believe changes can be made to improve the development process. To that end, we anticipate providing the Agency additional input on our specific concerns about the critical path in the development process -- concerns that we hope can be addressed to the benefit of ALS patients and their families.
We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this important initiative.
|3. For each problem identified, please indicate the type of drug, biologic, or device to which the hurdle applies.
| Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs)
Many in the ALS community believe that CRADAs have been helpful in speeding the development process by facilitating the transfer of ideas from the research facilities to industry. However, we are aware that concerns exist in the process of gathering toxicology data to help assess safety and in what role the government should play in the pricing of compounds. While The Association has not taken a formal position on what role government should play in pricing, we do believe that incentives, financial and regulatory, are necessary to encourage continued active industry involvement in ALS product development.
Centers of Excellence
Some have suggested that establishing ALS Centers of Excellence could facilitate research and development of ALS-specific products similar to the way such Centers have aided innovation in the development of products for other diseases. In those cases, Centers of Excellence provide industry a multidisciplinary team experienced in the treatment of the disease as well as a substantial pool of patients to participate in clinical trials. Centers of Excellence, as sites which provide care to specific groups of patients and already conduct research on specific diseases, indeed are important resources for information that can be used to assess safety, prove efficacy and design trials. Although individual ALSA Centers have gained considerable clinical trial experience in recent years and should continue to play a significant role in clinical research, ALSA does not believe individual Centers alone have the necessary numbers of ALS patients to produce statistically significant clinical trials. Instead, multi-center trials, as currently is the case, are likely to be the best means of assuring large enough patient pools to conduct clinical trials that produce reliable results.
| 4. For each problem identified, if a solution would facilitate the development of drugs, biologics, and/or devices for a particular disease or categories of disease, please indicate which diseases would be affected?
| Grouping Neurological Disorders as a Collection of Orphan Diseases
ALSA believes that grouping neurological disorders as a collection of orphan diseases would help shorten the development time of a drug and help minimize regulatory hurdles. We also believe that encouraging more discussion between the different neurological diseases will bring benefits to the development process. Such collaboration can exploit the varying expertise of researchers and manufacturers and allow for the sharing of concerns and ideas on all phases of product development, including basic research and clinical trial design. However, while efforts at collaboration may speed product development, the desire to move expeditiously must be tempered by thoroughness. It is critical that the necessary steps are taken to assess safety, establish appropriate dosing and conduct efficacy studies. If this is not done, additional costs and needless delays later in the development process may result and, could deter manufactures from conducting future product development.
Considerations for improved Clinical Trials for ALS
The ALS community is aware of and attempting to address several challenging areas to improve clinical trials. These include diagnosis, outcome measures, recruitment for clinical trials, funding and increased geographic distribution of trial centers to enable the smaller regions to participate in the ongoing trials and. In addition, discussions continue with NIH to encourage more rapid funding for clinical trials, a key concern in a disease such as ALS where patients may only live a few years after diagnosis.
There are several other concerns that we have in the drug development process that have presented barriers to progress, including concerns about insurance reimbursement for participation in clinical trials, low levels of participation, and the lack of willingness of physicians and patients use compounds, among others. These concerns are present, to varying degrees, throughout the development process and can be addressed through increased educational efforts by the medical community, public and private research institutions and manufacturers.
| 1. Hurdle Identification. Please describe the product development issue, the nature of the evaluation tool that is out-of-date or absent, how this problem hinders product development, and how a solution would improve the product development process.

Re: Docket No. 2004-N-0181, Critical Path Initiative
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Association is pleased to submit comments to the Food and Drug Administration as it explores ways to reduce existing hurdles in medical product design and development. We strongly support the Agency in this endeavor and are hopeful that the ?Critical Path Initiative? not only will speed the pace of product development, but also bring changes to the development process that will lead to new treatments and cures for diseases like ALS.
The ALS Association is the only national not-for-profit health association dedicated solely to the fight against ALS, or Lou Gehrig?s Disease. In addition to serving as a resource for ALS patients and their families, The Association advocates for increased funding for ALS research and other health care reforms that respond to the needs of ALS patients. The ALS Association also is the largest private source of funding for ALS-specific scientific research in the world, having awarded nearly $27 million since 1991 to fund research seeking to identify the cause, means of prevention and cure for ALS.

The media company has asked the Federal Court to review the media regulator's decision earlier this year to not consider an application to amend the Sunshine Coast stations' licence areas and stop them overlapping with the Brisbane radio licence area.
Southern Cross's $770 million takeover of Austereo Group earlier this year put it in breach of the media ownership rules, which ban one company from owning more than two radio stations in a licence area.
Southern Cross already owned Mix FM and Sea FM on the Sunshine Coast, which overlap with Austereo's Brisbane stations B105 and Triple M.
In March ACMA received an undertaking from Southern Cross to sell the Sunshine Coast stations within a year.
Southern Cross chief executive
The Federal Court will hear the case late next month.
As reported in The Australian Financial Review earlier this month, the sale process drew a large collection of potential buyers, including a company backed by Geoff Wilson, chairman of fund-management company WAM Capital, and corporate raider Ron Brierley.
Three groups were understood to have started due diligence on the stations: regional radio companies Grant Broadcasters and AMI Radio, and a consortium that included music entrepreneurs Michael Gudinski and former Austereo program director Greg Smith.
Southern Cross was understood to have been offered more than $20 million for Mix FM and Sea FM, which turn over an estimated $9 million a year and generate annual earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of $3 million.
Mr Holleran confirmed the sale process was on hold but would not discuss if Southern Cross's preference was to keep the stations.
"There's been a lot of interest in them, as they are a great business in a great market," he said.
"We don't like to sell any businesses, but we'll see what the court decides. If the court decides in our favour, we then have to go through the [ACMA] review process."

2009 issue of The Chess Journalist.
Votes must be received by xxx, 2009 to insure they are counted.
Following are the statements provided by the nominators.
Note that the Award is for work done during the last year, not for their career.
Alexandra Kosteniuk
Alexandra Kosteniuk is the 12th Women's World Chess Champion, a title she received last fall by winning the Women's World Chess Championship in Nalchik, Russia, at the age of 25, after 20 years playing chess.
2008 was the most successful year ever for Alexandra. She started by successfully defending her Chess960 (Fischer Random) World Champion Title at the Rapid Chess960 World Championship in Mainz, Germany in August, in a 4-way match that included Lahno, Cmilyte and Zhukova, then by winning the classical Women's World Chess Championship in September, and finally in October 2008, she won 3 medals, including the first Gold medal ever, in the First Mind Sports Games in Beijing China.
Thanks to her becoming World Champion, during the last year alone, Alexandra has been on the cover of more than 10 magazines (see http://www.chesspics.com/index.php?e=64) and many more publications have published some of her games of the Women's World Championship, in particular the first game of the final against Yifan Hou. Countless articles in 23 languages have been published about Alexandra in the press, some can be viewed at this page: http://www.kosteniuk.com/en/about/articles/articles.php
Alexandra is originally from Russia, but in 2009 has moved to Miami and is on the way to becoming a permanent resident of the USA, with her husband and 2-year old daughter. Alexandra is a chess Grandmaster (with the GM men title) ranked in the top women in the world continuously since 2004 (#11 in April 2009 with 2516 ELO, highest #3 in 2006 with 2540 ELO), who apart from her activity in chess tournaments continually works to actively promote chess in the world, exclusively in a positive way, showing the world that chess is the coolest game of all.
After her arrival in Miami, Alexandra was on National American TV with interviews on FOX and CBS, this last one you can watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqsYdyWLG4Y&feature=channel_page
Some examples of Alexandra's work for the period 2008-2009:
Alexandra maintains her personal home page http://www.kosteniuk.com regularly adding news, photos, competitions, games. Site visited by 1,000-3,000 daily fans and visitors.
Continues the Chess is Cool Audio podcast started in November 2005 and now a popular chess audio podcast on the web see http://www.chessiscool.com. Episodes available free on iTunes and more than 1,500 regular subscribers.
Continues the free instructional chess video podcast Chess Killer Tips http://www.chesskillertips.com/ which has 3,000 regular subscribers (who get episodes immediately as soon as they are listed in iTunes) and many episodes over 15,000 views (top viewed video has over 26,000 views).
Continued to be the top contributor of the video chess sites http://chessmovies.com/ (Quicktime video) and http://www.tubechess.com/ (Flash video) regularly posting there commented blitz videos, as well as tournament report videos.
Continued to promote scholastic chess by visiting schools and giving lectures in schools around the world. Recently in April was a guest of honor at the Nashville Scholastics Supernationals and gave 2 monster simuls (107 games in all, 100 wins, 7 draws), a free lecture, and a free seminar.
Continued her support to deserving chess charities (for example new in 2009 The 9 Queens Organization http://9queens.org/) so that they can grow and help others to play and learn chess. She is very much involved in supporting chess in developing countries such as Colombia, South America and sponsors a school for underprivileged children there. She travelled to South Korea to promote chess and dozens of articles were published about her visit.
NEW! Created in 2008 the free youTube channel "Chessqueen" http://www.youtube.com/chessqueen where she posts some of her chess games, blitz, rapid or classical, commented. Top viewed video has over 16,000 views. Alexandra is an exceptional chess commentator and the games she selects to comment (her own or of other GMs) are most instructive. Several videos have passed the 10,000 views line.
NEW! Created in 2009 the free youTube channel "ChessqueenTV" http://www.youtube.com/chessqueentv where she posts TV reports about her and about chess to attract sponsors to chess.
VERY NEW! Created in 2009 the new chess blog www.chessblog.com exclusively to promote Women's Chess in the World. Alexandra is a lead promoter for Women's Chess thanks to the fact she has been appointed co-chair of the FIDE Commission for Women's Chess (in 2009) and also Member of the FIDE Presidential Commission (appointment thanks to her being the current Women's World Champion since 2008). This blog has started with a bang with hundreds of visitors in the first days of activity.
NEW! Created in 2008 the new chess utility site http://www.pgnplayer.com/ where it is possible to copy and paste chess moves in pgn format to be able to see the game played on a chess board. Free. Used daily by hundred of people worldwide.
NEW! For the first time in history a World Chess Champion male or female, has created a DVD about becoming World Champion, with everything about the World Championship and all games deeply commented. The DVD has been exceptionally compiled, with a professionally made documentary movie, narrated all along by Alexandra herself, covering everything from the surroundings, the championship itself, video of the players and venue, and of course the opening and closing ceremonies, including the official coronation and speeches and a very special dancing scene at the end, Alexandra being dressed in a fabulous local costume. Apart from that, all 12 games played during the championship are on the DVD, very deeply commented by Alexandra herself. The games account for more than 3 hours of video, including more than 1 hour for only the 4 final games against China's prodigy Hou Yifan. Alexandra talks not only of the moves themselves, but also about her preparation, her emotions during the games and when she concluded the last game of this 3-week marathon. It is a very instructive video. The DVD has extra materials in the form of video on how she also won the Chess960 World Championship in Mainz in 2008 and the First Gold Medal at the Mind Sports Games in Beijing, China, by beating ex-world champion Antonaneta Stefanova. This is a historic DVD, no other World Chess Champion has ever compiled so much original and instructional video and audio material about his or her way to the title. Information about the DVD is here: http://chessqueen.com/index.php?productID=33.
As a special gift to CJA members, Alexandra has decided to make as an absolutely free gift a copy of her DVD ($20 value) to any current member of the Chess Journalists of America who simply requests one by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with subject line "I'm a CJA member and I want my DVD". Include your mailing address and within a few days you will receive it at your home, totally free, for you to enjoy. Nothing to pay, not even shipping. This is how Alexandra says thanks to the CJA and all their members for the great work they do to promote chess in all kinds of media publications in the world. Note that to be eligible for the free DVD, membership to the CJA must be verified on the official CJA list as of 3-17-2009 as published on the CJA web site. DVD's can only be mailed to the address on record on the CJA database. If you're not a member of the Chess Journalists of America, become one! It's only $10 for USA members and $15 for foreign members. This offer is only valid until the election for CJA Journalist of the year 2009 is completed, latest August 1, 2009.
Last year Alexandra ran for this same award and came in second to Macauley Peterson, whom she congratulates wholeheartedly for his win. Alexandra recently was featured in one of Macauley's videos, see http://chessmovies.com/index.php?id=144 (quicktime) and here in flash: http://www.tubechess.com/index.php?id=154. This year winning the Chess Journalist of the Year Award would provide Alexandra with recognition for what she is doing and what she has achieved, and will give her even more energy to continue to promote chess in America and in the World. As the winner of the award, she will also continue to promote high quality chess journalism as well as the CJA itself.

Subject: [Cmn-L] Mailings and Battle
>Hi Pauline and Richard,
>There seems to have been a great deal of interest generated in your
CARMARTHENSHIRE List regarding the query from Tony about the Battle of
Cymerau. I realise that this is not strictly Genealogy but I have had so
many requests to my personal e-mail address from List members asking for
further details, that I hope you will allow me (this once) to provide the
information through your List. I also have a copy of the map indicating the
battle site near Aberglasney if any members would like me to send it to
their individual e-mail addresses in .JPG format.
>This is an account from A.G. PRYS-JONES', "The Story of Carmarthenshire Vol
>The Running Battle of Coed Llathen and Cymerau.
> In 1254, Henry III bestowed all the royal lands in Wales,
including the castles and demesnes of Carmarthen and Cardigan, upon his
eldest son, Edward. The following year Llywelyn of Gwynedd won a decisive
battle against two of his brothers, and assumed sole control of his father's
principality. Within a year he had established he had established himself
firmly in Gwynedd, and marched south to Builth and Deheubarth, aided by
Maredudd ab Owain. He next moved into Ystrad Tywi, where he deprived Rhys
Fychan (now an ally of the king) of Dinefwr and Carreg Cennen which he
granted to Maredudd ap Rhys Gryg.
> In 1256, Llywelyn again invaded south-west Wales, and secured
the allegiance of the Welsh in Kidwelly, Carnwyllion and Gower. The
following year Henry sent Stephen Bauzan, a former governor of Gascony, to
restore order in Ystrad Tywi, and to win back Rhys Fychan's lost possession
for him. On the last day of May, 1257, Stephen marched with a formidable
force from Carmarthen to Llandeilo, where the army encamped for the night. A
Welsh chronicler, probably one of the monks of Talyllychau, has left this
vivid account of the battle which followed :-------
> "Now the Welsh of Ceredigion and Ystrad Tywi, that that is to
say, the whole power of Maredudd ap Rhys Gryg and Maredudd ab Owain, were
assembled with a mighty clamour in the woods and groves and glens which were
round the English. Throughout the whole of Friday they did not cease
challenging and harassing the Saxon host with showers of lances and arrows.
On Saturday, the eve of Trinity Sunday, Rhys, son of Rhys Mechyll, who had
acted as their guide, left the English in great straits and much danger.
With a few of his men, he fled to the castle of Dinefwr, leaving the English
in ignorance of what he had done.
> Still fearing nothing, the armed knights took counsel, and
resolved boldly to make their way back to Carmarthen. The Welsh fought them
manfully from the woods and kept up the struggle in the forests from the
first hour of the day until mid-day. At Coed Llathen, the English lost all
their provisions and all their horses carrying arms and other requisites.
About mid-day, when the fighting had reached Cymerau, the Welsh fell upon
the armed English and thrust the noble Saxons from their war-horses, so that
they were trodden under the feet of their steeds ; their knights and their
footmen in the ditches and marshes and dingles. Few, if any of the armed
knights escaped from that encounter. But the Welsh, greatly victorious, with
the mail-clad horses and arms of their enemies as their spoil, returned in
safety to their homes."
>The battle is also referred to in a poem which is included in the 'Black
Book of Carmarthen'.
> This was the greatest disaster which an English army had
suffered in Wales for many years. Stephen Bauzan himself was among the
slain, whose number must have been at least a thousand.
> The sites of Coed Llathen and Cymerau are not exactly known,
but the running fight must have taken place near Broadoak, between Llandeilo
and Carmarthen. Cymerau was probably around the spot where the Cothi runs
into the Tywi.
> The victors rapidly took the castles of Laugharne, Lanstephan
and Narbeth ; and at the end of June, Llywelyn came south again to lead a
further campaign. Rhys Fychan, who had deserted the English force at
Llandeilo, joined his uncle Maredudd ap Rhys and took the castle of Newport
(Pembroke-shire) by storm. Maredudd ab Owain brought his men to ravage the
Haverfordwest area : and Llywelyn and his three allies made a heavy raid
upon the Glamorgan lands of the Earl of Gloucester.
> In 1258, Llywelyn took the title of Prince of Wales, and
summoned the other Welsh princes and chieftains to swear fealty to him. This
was the first occassion on which any Welsh prince had successfully assumed
this title. Among the many Welsh lords who supported him were the three
descendants of the Lord Rhys.

1993 MTV Movie Awards
Host: Eddie Murphy
Date: July 13, 1993
Best Movie: A Few Good Men
1993 Movie Awards Summary
To add to the randomness, the night was punctuated by short, raunchy, sexed-up spoofs of the year's biggest movies, all performed by the cast of The Brady Bunch. If you're into feeling horrified, just try to imagine what they did for Basic Instinct . Also spoofed: A Few Good Men and The Bodyguard (during which sexual tension between Ma Brady and her sons reaches such a crescendo that they all make out). It could be argued that, with the airing of these dirty shorts, MTV launched the kitschy retro-craze that defined the rest of the '90s. Although, to be fair, it's also probably been argued plenty of times that Ben Franklin invented electricity.
Speaking of electricity, did we mention that Anthony Kiedis and Marisa Tomei made out? Totally did. And because plain old making out was kinda boring by 1993, they did it in torch helmets with three-foot flames dancing above their heads. Hot. Sparks also flew between Rosie Perez and Rosie O'Donnell, but they didn't make out. They made fun of each other, possibly inspiring a young Donald Trump to sharpen his knives for encounters down the road. Christian Slater, on the other hand, required no sharpening. The Untamed Heart star won Most Desirable Male, a title which he lived up to even when he was dropping the trophy on his foot.
But enough of this anecdotal nonsense. Let's do facts. The year's Best Movie winner was A Few Good Men , but Lethal Weapon 3 took home the most awards. Fresh from the set of Boomerang (and on his way to Beverly Hills Cop III ), Eddie Murphy hosted and, as you might imagine, he told about 10,000 jokes. So if you love jokes, definitely check out 1993.

Courtney Stodden has begged SeaWorld to release the killer whale they have confined in a tank back into the ocean.
The 22-year-old reality TV star broke down in tears as she starred in a campaign for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) - an animal rights organisation - urging the theme park in Florida, Orlando, to free the orca named Corky to a seaside sanctuary after she tragically lost seven of her babies.
Speaking in the campaign, Courtney - who suffered a miscarriage of her own earlier this year - said: "The feeling of losing a child is one that no mother should ever have to experience. That's why it breaks my heart to think of Corky--an orca who has lost all seven of her babies, the last of whom was found floating lifeless at the bottom of a tank at SeaWorld.
"Corky has endured the loss of family eight times, starting when she was forcibly taken from the ocean from her mother and sold into captivity when she was very young. For 47 years, she has only known trauma, loss and sadness in captivity within the cramped, chemically treated confines of a concrete tank.
"SeaWorld, take it from someone who has experienced great personal loss. Corky has suffered enough Please, do the right thing and let her go home. The time is now."
Courtney and her husband Doug Hutchison announced they were expecting a baby together in May, but the blonde bombshell was left distraught two months later when she lost it.
Her manager said in a statement at the time: "It is with a heavy heart to inform you that last week Courtney Stodden suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage. Courtney and her husband, Doug, are at an emotional loss for words and are using this time to grieve with their close family and friends."
In order to help her get over her loss, Courtney - who married Doug when she was 16 years old - used a 'reborn' baby doll.

The film adaptation of Les Miserables was screened for the first time in New York on Friday night, and the watching audience clearly adored the movie as they gave it a standing ovation upon its completion.
The Hollywood Reporter reported that there was a "loud applause" for the musical, and each of its numbers were deemed sensational by viewers. As the credits tolled, the film received a"'raucous standing ovation," which apparently lasted for around ten minutes.
Before the screening, the film's director, Tom Hooper, introduced the screening, revealing that he had only completed Les Miserables at 2 am on Wednesday 21 November. He even then went on to tell the crowd, "You are the very first people to see the film."
Hooper also told the crowd, "I'm grateful that I finished it [the film] … I'm grateful to the thousands of people who have been on this journey, particularly the wonderful cast … and I'm grateful to Victor Hugo, who unfortunately can't be with us."
The King's Speech director was also joined by several members of the film's cast — which included Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, and Samantha Barks — who then also took part in a Q&A session regarding the movie.
The movie was screened at New York City's Lincoln Center to a select group of critics, who after the screening, touted Les Miserables for several production Oscar nominations. It's set to be released on Christmas Day in the United States and also features Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Helena Bonham-Carter, and Sacha Baron Cohen in acting roles.

WHEN Blackpool last came to town, Alex Baptiste watched from the stands as the club he would eventually sign for choked on the big occasion and missed out on the play-offs.
Paul Ince's side had battled hard to preserve their Championship status and came to the Reebok with nothing at stake, presumably a postscript to the big occasion.
History now tells us that Wanderers' failure to win that game after coming back from two goals down cost them a top-six place and, just perhaps, a return to the bright lights and big money of the Premier League at the first time of asking.
The true cost of that result was mirrored in this week's financial losses.
Baptiste probably did not know at that point the club shedding tears at the final whistle would be the one he signed for in the summer.
"We didn't have anything to play for so I suppose you play with a lot more freedom when the result doesn't really matter," he recalled.
"Bolton were going for the play-offs and you can tense up. You don't mean to, but you can start thinking about the other results and what they might mean to you.
"It was easier to play with no fear and that's exactly how we felt at the time."
Baptiste clearly still has a great affinity for the club for whom he made close to 200 appearances in five seasons, including helping them into the Premier League.
He went back to Bloomfield Road in October and received a hero's welcome from the home fans. Now the defender is hoping it will be the Bolton supporters with smiles on their faces after today's local derby.
"My time at Blackpool will never, ever be bettered as long as I play," he said.
"It'll be great to see the lads but when the whistle goes you don't have friends on the pitch.
"They'll be trying to get one over on me and I'll be doing the same to them. I play for Bolton now and I'm happy here, so I want a cup run.
"We played really well when we went there earlier in the season and that night we had a few chances to win.
"Blackpool were flying high in the league but it kick-started us. Hopefully that can happen again because we've got two more home games after that and we need to start winning them, the sooner the better."
With little to cheer of late, the sense of frustration on the terraces has been difficult to miss.
Zat Knight bore the brunt of the fans' ire in Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough after two early mistakes but Baptiste draws encouragement from the team and Knight's response.
"I think after the two goals went in against Boro, you could see the reaction. It wasn't nice out there at times," he said.
"But you have got to scrap in this league and I think the spirit of the boys was different class.
"You never know where we might end up if we keep going and maybe manage to turn some of these draws into wins.
"I think Zat was man of the match after his two mistakes, he was unbelievable.
"He is a big part of the dressing room and a massive character. Everyone makes mistakes but he came back and showed the type of person he is. Not a lot of people would have been able to take what he was getting."
Baptiste admits he is happier now that he has been switched from left-back to a more natural position on the right.
"I hadn't been scoring many over there," he smiled – fresh from a fourth goal of the season against Boro.
But while that may have spared him a marking job on Blackpool's star man Tom Ince this afternoon, the 27-year-old is still expecting a difficult task progressing to the fourth round.
"They are not having a good time at the minute but they are still not far away," he said of a Tangerines side who have taken just one point from their last seven games.
"I don't know what has happened there. The gaffer (Paul Ince) is unbelievable and a born winner. "People always look at the negatives but I know whatever side he brings here will be a good one."

Taylor Swift and Vanessa Hudgens: Battle of the B'Days
Taylor Swift and Vanessa Hudgens both had birthdays this weekend—the country crooner turned 19 on Saturday, while the High School Musical sweetheart hit the big 2-0 on Sunday—and both rang in their big days with squeaky-clean, wholesome-as-milk activities.
Nessie celebrated her b'day with her 21-year-old beau and High School Musical co-star Zac Efron, who showed up at her house with a bouquet of flowers and a big gift under his arm. The two then drove off for dinner at Los Angeles restaurant Stanley's.
What could Zac have bought his lady love? Apparently, that's a private matter, and from the looks of their recent shopping excursions, perhaps it should stay that way.
Oh, and Hudgens also received a brand-new Audi convertible, though it's not known who bestowed her with that particular gift.
Swift, meanwhile, kept things similarly low-key. People magazine reports that Tay-Tay gathered family, friends and bandmates at her Hendersonville, Tennessee, home on Saturday for an intimate shindig marked by bacon-wrapped scallops, a ping-pong tournament (won by the singer's manager) and S'mores—those gooey campfire favorites—cooked over an outdoor fire pit.
Wow; someone call the National Enquirer! Scandal city!
No word on what Swift wished for as she blew out the candles on her two Cold Stone Creamery ice-cream cakes.
But she could be forgiven if it involved grievous bodily harm to a certain 10,000 BC actress.
Which party would you have preferred to attend? Leave a preference in comments.

Black cutworm adults were caught in pheromone traps across Iowa in April and early May. From these collections, we can project the likely first cutting dates of seedling corn across Iowa. As reported [1] in last week's ICM Newsletter, black cutworms could be large enough to cut corn now in the southern three tiers of counties. In addition, cutting could occur by May 8 in west central Iowa and by May 11 in central and east central Iowa. Farmers in the northernmost three tiers of counties could have larvae large enough to cut corn starting May 15.
This year, there have been several successive moth flights, so once scouting starts there could be feeding activity by caterpillars of several sizes over an extended period of time. Before cutting occurs, small cutworms often eat pin-sized holes in the leaves. Some producers may decide to mix an insecticide with a herbicide application when they see this injury. Before the insecticide is included in the application, confirm that black cutworms are the insects in the field that are responsible for the leaf-feeding injury. There are no economic thresholds for pin-hole feeding, only cutting, so a treatment based only on these small holes may not be the most judicious and economical decision. Use insecticides wisely.

SEVASTOPOL, CRIMEA – Election preparations were underway in east Ukraine on Saturday on the eve of an independence vote called by pro-Russian separatists as government forces pushed ahead with a military offensive against the rebels.
The voting was to come after Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Crimea on Friday for the first time since its annexation by Moscow. Sailing into the Black Sea port of Sevastopol amid a jubilant spectacle of fighter jets and warships, Putin celebrated the return of Crimea to Russia as "historic justice" during a Victory Day display of military pomp and patriotism.
The gravity of the crisis gripping the rest of Ukraine was underscored by deadly clashes in the east, where fighting left bodies in the streets of the seaside city of Mariupol and the police station was a smoldering ruin.
At least seven people were killed and dozens injured in the city, one of at least a dozen where pro-Russian insurgents are agitating to follow Crimea's lead in seceding from Ukraine.
Despite a surprise call from Putin last week to delay the independence referendums, rebels holed up in more than a dozen towns and cities in eastern Ukraine vowed to press ahead with votes that are bound to increase tensions.
Sunday's referendum asks people if the industrial region of Donetsk should become independent from Kiev and is seen as a potential steppingstone by some toward joining Russia. A similar vote is also set to be held in neighboring Luhansk region.
Speaking before a cheering crowd of thousands on a triumphant first visit to Crimea since its annexation into Russia, Putin hailed the incorporation of its 2 million people as a "return to the motherland" and a tribute to the "historical justice and the memory of our ancestors."
His visit to the Crimean port of Sevastopol, where Russia's Black Sea Fleet is based, came on Victory Day, which commemorates the defeat of Nazi Germany and is Russia's most important holiday. The trip was strongly criticized by the United States, NATO and Ukraine's Foreign Ministry, which said it trampled on Ukraine's sovereignty and international law.
Putin's two Victory Day celebrations — a massive show of military muscle in the Red Square parade in Moscow, followed by the extravaganza in Sevastopol — rubbed salt in the wounds of Ukraine's interim government in Kiev without ever once mentioning its name.
In Sevastopol, Putin rode a cabin cruiser-type boat past hulking warships, issuing greetings to their crews, as warplanes and helicopters swooped over the vast harbor. He then stepped onto land for a short address to the tens of thousands on the shore who came to watch the spectacle. In a later address at a commemorative concert, he expanded on the theme of righting a historic wrong with Crimea's return to Russia, saying Moscow respected other countries' interests and "we ask that all of them show regard for our legal interests, including the restoration of historical justice and the right to self-determination."
Conquered by Russia in the 18th century under Catherine the Great, Crimea only became part of Ukraine in 1954 when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev transferred jurisdiction from Russia.
The move was a formality until the 1991 Soviet collapse meant Crimea landed in an independent Ukraine. It remained under Ukrainian control until its annexation by Russia in March following a hastily arranged referendum — moves condemned by the West and Kiev.
The violence in the port of Mariupol on the Azov Sea — along the main road between the Russian border and the Crimean Peninsula — was a clear sign of increasing unrest in eastern Ukraine.
There were varying accounts of Friday's violence in Mariupol, a city of half a million people that also was hit by unrest last month.
Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said about 60 gunmen attacked the Mariupol police station and were repulsed in an operation that killed one policeman and about 20 people he called "terrorists."
The Donetsk regional government said seven people were killed and 39 were wounded.
The conflicting death tolls could not be reconciled. An AP reporter saw three bodies in the street, one of them covered by a blanket with a policeman's hat placed at the head.

That is not WP unfortunately. There are hundreds of 1 page themes on here that work in that style but none will be that simple as it is not good enough for here. Your best bet is to find one you like on here then strip it out as minimally as you want/need. Just search 'one page' then filter to WP themes
Thanks for your response. That one is probably the best single page theme I've seen. I believe you're right. I am going to have to find a similar theme and modify it by taking it apart.
Hi Guys, I just came across this site and I need a similar Parallax theme. Anyone who has seen anything like this? It's pretty simple but very effective.http://www.rehabstudio.com/
Appreciate your time and response. Thanks.
Mine is a W and an A connected together. Its a frequency wave. Not much of a concept for now unless I crack something good for the name .

Sandra Steier Photography
Sandra began her photography career in front of the camera at age 17, modelling internationally for 7 years. Upon returning to Vancouver she met fashion photographer, Robert Mcgee, now of Boda Studio, who encouraged her to use her experience in the industry to move behind the camera. While studying photography, Sandra also worked in the film industry for many years and developed an ability to put people at ease in front of the camera, enabling her to capture authentic expressions. Since that time, Sandra has come to be known for her "clean" signature style with a flare for fashion and a photojournalistic eye. Today her focus is on photography and she attributes her success to her life experiences and mentors she's met along the way.

(CNSNews.com) – The U.S. Constitution does not give the government the authority to mandate that private companies give their products away for free, said Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), although President Barack Obama stated on Feb. 10 that through a regulation in Obamacare health insurers would have to provide contraceptive care "free of charge, without co-pays and without hassles."
At the conservative Heritage Foundation on Monday, CNSNews.com asked Senator Lee, "Does the Constitution authorize the federal government to force private companies to give away products for free?
Lee said: "Heavens, no! Let me count the ways. In the first place, nothing in my copy of Article 1, Section 8, gives Congress the authority to be doing this in the first place. Congress, of course, has to have an affirmative grant of authority either in Article 1, Section 8 or elsewhere in the Constitution to do something. It can't just act because it thinks it's in the public interest. And it manifestly lacks that power here."
He continued: "Secondly, telling somebody they have to give something to someone for free without the government or anyone else paying for it, in my mind, qualifies as an uncompensated taking of property and you can't do that."
"Thirdly, where there are profound religious implications, as there are here, you get into both the Establishment clause and the Free Exercise clause," he said.
Lee added that the Free Exercise of Religion Clause in the Constitution comes into play "for more obvious reasons" because religious institutions, hospitals, charities, and religious universities do not want to provide this particular service in question and that "they shouldn't have to."
"[A]t least under that portion of the free exercise of religion that is still protected vis-à-vis the federal government with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, they can't just tell a religious institution you have to do this when it goes against their sincere religious beliefs and practice to do so," Lee said.
In regards to the Establishment Clause of the Constitution, Lee said that a problem of a "different dimension" arises.
"Given how intrusive this administration has been on this issue, it's my understanding that the president ordered the Office of the Military Chaplains in the Pentagon not to distribute a letter issued by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to chaplains throughout the military," Lee said. "That's a huge problem. That is excessive entanglement under the Lemon test and under any of the thousands of conceivable [inaudible] under a really messed up Establishment Clause jurisprudence. That is an establishment clause problem."
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), who was also at the Heritage Foundation on Monday, said that he was "sure" that congressional authorization from the Constitution to force private companies to give away products for free is "something the founders have never contemplated."
In late January, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) finalized an Obamacare regulation that would require all health insurance policies – except those for a strictly religious group, such as a church – to cover sterilizations and FDA-approved contraceptives, including those that induce abortion.
That rule sparked opposition from numerous religious groups, including the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and at least 158 members of Congress. As a result. President Barack Obama, on Feb. 10, announced that all health insurers would have to provide contraceptives and abortion drugs free of charge, and that people who objected for religious reasons would not be paying for those services directly anyway; the burden would be on the insurance company.
In his remarks from the White House, Obama said: "Today, we've reached a decision on how to move forward. Under the rule, women will still have access to free preventive care that includes contraceptive services -- no matter where they work. So that core principle remains. But if a woman's employer is a charity or a hospital that has a religious objection to providing contraceptive services as part of their health plan, the insurance company -- not the hospital, not the charity -- will be required to reach out and offer the woman contraceptive care free of charge, without co-pays and without hassles."The result will be that religious organizations won't have to pay for these services, and no religious institution will have to provide these services directly. Let me repeat: These employers will not have to pay for, or provide, contraceptive services. But women who work at these institutions will have access to free contraceptive services, just like other women, and they'll no longer have to pay hundreds of dollars a year that could go towards paying the rent or buying groceries."
