A CD featuring a church's choir and its two new bells will be music to parishioners' ears.
Henry Morris, tower captain at St Mary's Church in Kempsey, came up with the idea of creating The Sounds of St Mary's Church as a celebration of the Jubilee year.
It features a peal of the bells composed by Richard Pullin, formerly of Worcester and now living in Hereford, as well as popular anthems sung by the church's choir including The Lord Is My Shepherd.
The choir, led by choir master David Anfield, used music producer Muff Murfin's Kempsey recording studio to create the CD.
The talents of sound engineer Alasdair Davis and artist Cicely Barnes were also put to good use to produce it and create the cover art.
Mr Morris said: "It is a CD which could be enjoyed at any time of the year, "We have already sold half of the 250 we have made."
The CD costs £10 from the church or The Original Stores, Church Street, Kempsey.
Money raised is for church maintenance.

Goldman Sachs analyst Simon Wheatley has played down concerns over the fire which broke out on Wednesday at the site of the office towers at
"Our site inspection indicated the fire was primarily isolated to the southern end of the site under one office tower, despite the basement extending as a podium under all three proposed towers," he wrote in a research note to clients on Thursday.
Wheatley senses the perceived risk to the structural integrity is low and the site could be active again as early as the end of the week on a best-case scenario.
"We expect that insurances are in place to cover this type of risk and therefore the primary issue is that of timing and delivery for tenants who have pre-committed to leases," he adds. "If heat-affected areas need to be demolished and rebuilt in the basement, this will cause a delay. This seems to be an outside risk, however."
Wheatley reckons such work would increase the project scope of works, which would arguably be positive for construction earnings, "although we believe that this would be immaterial". He has retained his "buy" recommendation and $12.11 price target.

Kelloggs made sure we were off to a roaring start, thanks to a good breakfast.Cereal, fruit, muffins, cheese, all my favorites! I have to tell you, this conference had the best food of any conference I have attended.
Aimee from Simple Bites and I were the tribe leaders for Food Bloggers, and this year was so much different than last, where at one point I found myself sitting at the table on my own. Our tables had lots of people, all asking questions and we easily could have chatted for another 45 minutes.She even brought cinnamon marshmallows (YUM) and cookies! I wanted to bring food too, but I wasn't sure the cookies would survive the flight.
The sponsors were amazing-I loved chatting with Suzanne from Young Drivers of Canada who remembered me from last year, and the girls from Kraft who dressed up as kitchen fairies just for me! Now that's dedication! I've promised Suzanne a how to video on making cookies-from mixing the batter to the actual baking.
In the Kraft Canada suite, all decked up for Halloween. I'm not really sure who that is in the photo.
The sessions were really good! I was there for inspiration, and I did find some but along the way scored a really great recipe for maple vinegar from Aiden AND some SEO tips. Whee!
Aimee invited me to join a bunch of them to go to Luma, a restaurant not far from the hotel. It was fun getting to know some of the food blogging community because I haven't had the chance to do that before. Part way through the meal Chef Jason Bangerter brought us a plate of wonderful appies-things that I possibly would've never eaten normally, but hey-I'll try anything once! Even duck tongue! (it was actually really good). Lots of conversation later, Julie and I made our way back to the hotel and slipped into a screening of Miss Representation.
Honestly, I'm still pretty tired from the trip and there is so much I'd like to add but my brain is refusing to put coherant sentences together. What is coming soon?
-I meet someone famous and i have no clue who they are, so I make a fool of myself trying to figure it out.
-I attend a costume party, and there's a funny situation
-my trek back home is almost thwarted by the Toronto Marathon
Stick around! Lots more to come.
Disclosure: My trip to Blissdom Canada was sponsored by Paper Chef and Chicken Farmers of Canada. They paid for my flight, hotel and transfers, and in exchange I am writing articles and recipes for them. Make sure to drop by their sites to check out their recipes!

Jaipur, Aug 23 (IANS) Playing true their reputation, top seeds Saurav Ghoshal and Joshna Chinappa annexed the singles crown in the men's and women's section, respectively, at the 61st senior National Squash championship here Friday.
Ghosal, the World No.20, gave Mahesh Mangaonkar no chance at all and posted a facile 11-2, 11-1, 11-7 victory in about half an hour to win his record ninth national title and pocketed prize money of Rs.1 lakh.
Likewise, in the women's final, Joshna had a cakewalk victory over youngster Aprarajita Balmurukan 11-8, 11-9, 11-6, to add 12th national crown to her kitty which is already full of achievements at national and international levels.
The title clash between Saurav and Mahesh began with a long beautiful rally which raised the hopes that the youngster would be up to the challenge. However, the tide went the other way and with Saurav in full flow, it became a one-sided affair.
In first two games, Saurav opened a sizable leads to win at 11-2, 11-1. The third game saw Mahesh taking the first point and went neck and neck, but Saurav subdued his challenge to win 11-7 to race to his ninth national title.
Praising the youngster, the seasoned Saurav said: "It was not that easy. The scores suggests that it was one-sided affair, but Mahesh played quite well and showed his potential. I was trying out few things, but he was also good."
It was always going to be easy for Joshna as World No.14 Deepika Pallikal and Anaka Alankamony had kept away from the tournament due to personal reasons.
Joshna, who did not lose a set in her quest, took about 30 minutes to dispose off the challenge of Aparajita. It was Aparajita who took the initial lead in first two games, but Joshna did not have to exert to post a comfortable win.
"I was not complacent. I knew that with Deepika was not here and I would play against youngsters. Still, I don't take things for granted. The girls need more exposure to come good at higher levels," said Joshna.
The results:
Men's singles (final): 1-Saurav Ghosal (TN) bt Mahesh Mangaonkar (Mah) 11-2 11-1 11-7. For 3-4 positions: 2-Harinder Pal Singh Sandhu (TN) bt Ravi Dixit (TN) 12-10 11-5 11-5. For 5-6 positions: Gaurav Nandrajog (Delhi) bt Sandeep Jangra (Services) 11-9 10-12 11-1 10-12 11-8. For 7-8 positions: Vrishab Kotian (Mah) bt Vikas Jangra (Indian Navy) 11-7 4-11 7-11 11-9 11-5.
Women's singles (final): 1-Joshana Chinappa (TN) bt 2-Aparajitha Balamurukan (TN) 11-8 11-9 11-6. For 3-4 positions: Sachika Ingale (Delhi) bt Janet Vidhi (Delhi) 11-8 11-6 11-2. For 5-6 positions: Jannat Duhan (Chd) bt Tarunima (Raj) 12-10 11-7 8-11 11-9. For 7-8 positions: Nandika (Raj) bt Neha Kumari (Bihar) 11-0 11-1 11-1.

So I did a Yearbook for the Meetup group that I run through Creative Memories and after I finished it, I found out that extra pages cost more and the cost of my book was going to be $60. That's way too much for the members to purchase. Non-scrapbooking folk have no idea how expensive this stuff is and no one pays $60 for a book. I don't have much of a choice but to make the book with Creative Memories this year, but next year I want to try something more economical.
What is the best, i.e. highest quality while still being inexpensive, way to create a digital scrapbook to have at least 20 books printed? I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks, ladies!

In the driver's seat of his well-worn Volvo, James Salter spreads a map of Long Island across his knees. His voice fragile but deliberate, he offers tales of the region's natives and of European settlement, also of the artists who lived and worked nearby, among them Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock. ''Walt Whitman called it by its native American name,'' Salter says. ''Paumanok: 'the island that pays tribute.''' Then, pointing to the map's eastern edge, his fingers fan out. ''See how it fishtails.''
It's an observation of someone used to looking down on things. Salter flew F-86 Sabre jets in the Korean War, an experience he chronicles in The Hunters. That debut novel, published in 1956, reads like Top Gun written by a fighter pilot with the soul of a poet. Now, on the day of the American publication of All That Is, his first novel in 34 years, Salter, 87, moves with cool confidence.
He is unrushed, his words measured. Here is someone who has survived dogfights with Russian MiGs. In another life, he worked on film projects with Roman Polanski, Sidney Lumet and Robert Redford. He's also one of the most revered American writers of his generation; author of eight works of fiction, including A Sport and a Pastime and Light Years, novels long considered contemporary classics.
For the past 35 years, Salter and his wife, Kay, have divided their time between Bridgehampton, Long Island (population 1756), and Aspen, Colorado. Evidence of their Rocky Mountain life, from which they returned last week, greets the visitor at the door in the form of Salter's vintage hiking boots. They're a reminder that this is the man who decided, in his 50s, to become a proficient alpinist in order to write Solo Faces, a novel critics and climbers cite as the best written on the subject.
About 1979, the year Solo Faces appeared in bookstores, Salter began making notes for a new novel. His readers have been waiting ever since.
An unfortunate trend in the media has been to claim All That Is as Salter's first book in 34 years. Since Solo Faces, however, he has published two story collections, one of them, Dusk, recipient of a PEN/Faulkner Award. Other recent publications include a book of travel essays, the unforgettable letters collected in Memorable Days and the memoirs Gods of Tin and Burning the Days, the latter as generous in its offerings as any novelist's autobiographical writings. The gap between novels and the cultish allegiance of Salter's readers - some of whom cling to the work as though it constitutes a secret order - have made All That Is one of the most highly anticipated books of the decade.
''I was making notes for a book like this 35 years ago,'' says Salter, dressed casually in jeans and a sweater and now seated, after our return from the Bridgehampton train station, at his book-strewn dining-room table. ''This,'' he leans in to whisper, ''is one of the hazards of being an author.''
Those notes from decades past have long since disappeared.
''I remembered what they were like in a ghost-story sense,'' Salter says. 'They were like that line that you write down once and you can't remember and that cannot be paraphrased. This novel is what resulted because of that loss. But the book is not a substitution for something lost. That's just how it came about. I didn't postpone it. I didn't say, 'I'm going to start writing novels again'. It was something I had been thinking of and was delayed.''
As Salter writes in the epigraph of All That Is: ''There comes a time when you realise that everything is a dream, and only those things preserved in writing have any possibility of being real.'' It's the sentiment of a man who left a venerable military career to assume the uncertain existence of a novelist. They are also the words of someone with firm convictions about the role of literature.
In his 1993 Paris Review interview, Salter responds to a question about the urge to write: ''Because all this is going to vanish. The only thing left will be the prose and poems, the books, what is written down. Man was very fortunate to have invented the book. Without it the past would completely vanish, and we would be left with nothing, we would be naked on earth.''
It's unsurprising that Salter's Bridgehampton home is filled with books and other objects of the literary life. More surprising, yet entirely appropriate, are the dozens of die-cast airplane models, positioned as though on the flight line, that crowd a low shelf. (''That's from my son,'' Salter says.
''I thought they were yours,'' Kay says.) In the next room, to the right of a bookshelf beside the dining table, hangs a black-and-white portrait of Isaac Babel and his young daughter, Nathalie.
''Babel was always my favourite,'' Salter says of the Soviet writer. ''There are books that are different kinds of books,'' he continues, looking at the photograph. ''Like things that are done by hand, they have another quality to them. This is a quality difficult to describe exactly, but any reader, anybody who likes books and reading, recognises the difference. It's handmade. It's created rather than just written down.''
Salter could, of course, be referring to his own work. Long praised by fellow writers and critics, mass readership has eluded him. That deserves to change with All That Is. An ambitious, page-turning novel, it follows the life of Philip Bowman, a naval officer-turned-book editor, and progresses with vigour and intensity through the final days of World War II and into the postwar era. It's at once classic Salter and an unexpected addition, in both style and content, to his esteemed body of work.
''I suspected that my age was going to be a factor in people's learning about the book,'' Salter says. ''I didn't want to be doddering along and sentimentally and nostalgically petering out, so the idea of pace was on my mind when I was writing.''
He has also grown tired of the ''writer's writer'' label. ''I wanted to write in a somewhat leaner style than I had in, for instance, Light Years, which is abundant in its metaphors and its recognition of the beauty or the singularity of certain things,'' he says. ''With this new book, I wanted to let the story and the instances give you the sense that it's moving along.''
All That Is stems from Salter's long fascination with the lives of editors. ''I thought it was a rather perfect life,'' he says. ''Editors are involved in reading, in books, and doing something that might have some real importance. The editors that I knew had friends in other countries who were also editors. It was a kind of family, a possibility of friendships that were long-lasting and put you in contact with other cultures, other countries. The editors I came to know were all mature men. I didn't know them before I had written a few books. Only then did I come to know them both professionally but also socially, personally. That's how the book came about.''
There were, in particular, three editors Salter particularly admired. ''And there were two other men who impressed me and who I wanted to write about,'' he says. ''So I took a shot at doing a cubistic kind of method of putting them together.'' About Philip Bowman, the character amalgamated from these lives, Salter writes in the novel, ''What the joys of music were to others, words on a page were to him''.
An alert sounds, signalling a new message on Salter's computer, and he excuses himself, saying, ''That may be from my publisher''. Seated at his living-room desk, he breaks out into laughter. Richard Ford has written to discuss the pair's coming on-stage event at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan. ''He doesn't want introductions,'' Salter says. ''He just wants the two of us to go out and do it.'' Returning through the kitchen, Salter passes two boxes filled with the Knopf hardcovers of All That Is. He holds up a copy, proud to show it off. ''Suddenly what you have written has an authority that it didn't have before,'' he says.
Back inside the car, Salter turns right out of the driveway and almost immediately pulls over to examine the construction, a mansion with an attached guesthouse. ''These are Wall Street executives,'' he says, going on to talk about the many changes Bridgehampton has undergone since he moved here.
The conversation soon returns to literature, complete with the appropriately timed detail: ''Here is Peter Matthiessen's house,'' he says. ''You can't see it from the road, but trust me. It's back there.''
At Bobby Van's, a restaurant on Bridgehampton's picturesque store-front block, Salter says, ''I want to show you something.'' Perhaps the lunchtime patrons recognise him as the greatest American prose stylist of his generation, but it's unlikely this detail makes them turn to watch Salter pass. Handsome and elegant, he moves with gravitas and grace down the long bar and stops beneath a black-and-white photograph of four men standing outside the restaurant, circa 1975.
''That's James Jones, Capote, Willie Morris and John Knowles,'' he says. In one photograph is a generation of elite American writers, Salter's age or younger, each long dead. He pauses, as though offering respect, and it's easy to imagine that Salter's ambitions have changed little since his school years, when the idea, as he writes in Burning the Days, had been inside of him ''like a pathogen - the idea of being a writer and from the great heap of days making something lasting''.
■ All That Is is published by Picador at $30.

What Does 'XL' Stand For?
Customers are often curious about the 'XL' designation that they see next to the size of certain tires.

Staggered Tires: Why or Why Not

Roy and Frank are a mismatched duo of low-level con men, considering that one is an obsessive-compulsive and the other a louche chancer. But their dysfunctional partnership and Roy's teetering sanity face an even bigger challenge in the shape of Roy's 14 year-old daughter.
After the bullish brunt of making Gladiator, Hannibal and Black Hawk Down in quick succession, you can see why Ridley Scott's curiosity was piqued by this relatively low-wattage study of fragmenting lives, set against a bleached-out Los Angeles only a cab ride from the studio. Just five characters, a wash of small-time criminality and an emphasis on matters of the heart. Broadly speaking, it is a comedy.
The script's loose-limbed dialogue and teasingly back-to-front ethics - Roy, a con man, is dedicated to playing the moral guardian to his zesty daughter - make for ripe, complex set-ups. The plot only flirts with the wacky, elaborate grifts, being more concerned with paying off on its emotional trickery to bring the father-daughter bonding to fragrant life.
Most of this is down to the magical Miss Lohman. Sloughing away the designer jailbait brathood of vacuum-packed stars such as Hilary Duff and Amanda Bynes, Lohman inhabits a bright, tomboyish 14 year-old, flip-flopping between hair-trigger tears and the most beguiling movie smile since Natalie Portman in her heyday. Amazing to think Lohman's really 24.
Cage's rattling cage is nothing new, but his vibrant pick 'n' mix of tics and stutters lacks the testy impact of Nicholson's recent compulsions. It's his exhaustive attempts at parenthood that reveal the man. Meanwhile, Rockwell purrs out his slick dialogue, a sub-role to the main drama, but one thick with humour.
Understandably and encouragingly, none of this feels like a Ridley Scott movie. Restrained in style and paced to the slow, midday thrum of a swollen summer, you might as well be strolling the sidewalks of one of Barry Levinson's family talkathons.
Scott's artistry is working in a subtler mode, editing to the jerky, awkward beats of Roy's mania, filling the frame with lurid, troubling POV shots that give the audience the uncomfortable sensation of having developed their own mental shudders. Ironically, it is one of the healthiest choices the director has made in years.
Scott tucks away his visual athletics in favour of something leisurely and quietly devastating. It's ultimately far more cunning a script than we can reveal here.

Latin Notes: Chicago's Jump Smokers aren't 'press and play' DJs
Updated 12:31 pm, Thursday, January 30, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — Chicago's acclaimed Jump Smokers! aren't "press and play" sort of digital DJs.
San Antonio found that out when the hip DJ team opened for Pitbull and Ke$ha at AT&T Center last summer. The late-June concert put them in front of about 11,000 fans.
They're back.
Jump Smokers! arrive at Club Rio on Friday for a late-night show of electronic dance music. Frontman Justin Roman and fellow DJs Flipside and Reydon don't do autopilot when it comes to the flow.
The diverse crew (Roman is Hispanic and has family in S.A.; DJs Flipside and Reydon are Filipino) broke out of Chicago's house music and EDM scene about four years ago. The DJs' hit "My Flow So Tight" sums up the attitude. All of its members are in their 20s.
"We pride ourselves on being real DJs that really mix live, that really scratch live," said Roman. "There's been a backlash against DJs that sort of just press 'play' and everything's been prerecorded. That's not what Jump Smokers! do. We're a very live dance act."
It's a point of pride for Roman and company. They mix the beats on four decks: two turntables and two CDJs (digital equipment that allows for cueing, syncing and triggering tracks on CDs and to manipulate a CD similarly to a vinyl disc), as well as with laptop computers.
Entertainment Channel
Friday's audience can expect the hottest dance music, old-school Michael Jackson, remixes and some original songs.
"I'm singing live, rapping live. They're mixing live, scratching live. It's a real performance act," said Roman, whose job is "to hype the crowd up."
"We don't want to call anybody out, but there are a lot of guys whose show is kind of press and play. They're into it. They're pumping the arms in the air and trying to get the crowd pumped up. But at the end of the day they kind of lost what being a DJ was all about. We just pride ourselves on being live."
A fourth member, Johnny Digital, maintains the act's website, artwork and merchandise.
Jump Smokers! reflect the rise of DJ culture, where youth and technology intersect and have moved into the mainstream, especially on the international scene. Its viability is undeniable.
"About four years ago, we really saw dance music taking off and this music become commercially accepted," Roman explained. "We're all from Chicago. It's the birthplace of house music and dance music. We grew up to that stuff; we sort of rode that wave."
That dedication has taken Jump Smokers! to shows in the Philippines and China. Roman credits, among others, Pitbull, Rihanna and Usher for "embracing dance music."
Club Rio caters to a stylish, youthful scene of Mexican-Americans and Mexican nationals. Not a problem for this act "which can adapt to a crowd, almost like a quarterback calling an audible."
Controlling the tempo and mood is what it's all about.
"One thing I can say about Hispanics as a whole is that they just love to dance. I mean for real," said Roman.
"Whether they want to dance to hip-hop music or Latino music, they love to dance. So it's been an easy segue into the Latin market. Obviously, Pitbull has done so much for dance music and EDM in that world."

No, the Bollettino at the Vatican website did not announce the name of a new bishop of Bridgeport this morning. But, yesterday, in the Washington Post, this article profiled Msgr. Robert Weiss, the pastor at St. Rose of Lima Church in Newtown, Connecticut who became, over the weekend, the face of the Catholic Church in the U.S. and, indeed, the face of Christ to those who were mourning. He never once reduced the enormity of the sorrow to something canned or formulaic. He never once pretended to have an answer to the question of why this tragedy had occurred. He was not afraid to appear very human, admitting that at the end of that first day what he really wanted was a scotch. I have no inside information about who is on the Nuncio's terna to be the next bishop of Bridgeport, or even if they have drawn up a terna yet. But, if they have, I would throw it in the garbage and ask the Holy Father to name Msgr. Weiss the new Bishop of Bridgeport. I am sure he would rather stay in his parish, but the Church in the US desperately needs bishops who are capable of showing the face of Christ in unthinkable circumstances. His appointment would be welcomed, I suspect, by acclamation in Bridgeport and nationwide,

With the Iron Man films breaking records since 2008, movie fans everywhere know who James "Rhodey" Rhodes is. Tony "Iron Man" Stark's best buddy, the Air Force Colonel who went on to don his own suit of armor to become "War Machine". Tony Stark's first appearance was 1968 and while Jim Rhodes wasn't introduced until eleven years later in Iron Man #118, Rhodey was retconned to be integral to the origin of Iron Man. It was later revealed that Rhodey himself was the man who helped Iron Man escape from Vietnam when the wounded Stark had just completed his first suit of armor (see Iron Man #144 for details). Long after that first meeting, but long before he went by the name War Machine, the man went by a different name. Not "Rhodey" or "Jim Rhodes"... for a time the name he went by was "Iron Man".

You can't say for certain unless you check to make sure, but Joe Kubert's career seems to span the entire history of comics.

"Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." reads the inscription on Mjolnir, the hammer of, you guessed it, true believers, the Mighty Thor. The trick, as any Marvel fan can tell you, only Thor himself can pick said hammer up, no matter how strong they are. Or so we thought for the 21 years between Thor's (Marvel canon) creation in 1962 and the year of 1983 when… well, somebody else held the hammer and immediately gained the power of Thor.
Can a character become a genre? During the '70s and '80s, publishing house DC's main competitor, Marvel, had phenomenal success in that arena with characters like the Hulk, and particularly Wolverine. With a story setting that had Dr Bruce Banner (the Hulk's alter ego) wandering the cultural landscape of '70s America, Incredible Hulk became the perfect platform for a wide array of genres—everything from romance to conspiracy theory to epimythic struggles against polluters or the politically corrupt. Wolverine was even more successful. Breaking away from his comparatively sedate life with the X-Men, Logan saw himself unleashed to his full feral potential in the pages of Wolverine.
In 1985, with flagging interest in the Old West, DC experimented in the same concept with the legendary scar-faced, Old West bounty hunter, Jonah Hex. The original 1985 book ends on a serious cliffhanger, one only resolved in the successor title Hex, which explained that Jonah Hex had in fact been rocketed into the distant future, there to begin his surly, steely-eyed, scar-faced search for justice all over again. But this time, among the stars and in the new genre of space opera. Hex failed to find its audience, and soon enough, found itself cancelled.
During the dying days of the Cold War (when were there Cold War days that didn't involve American deaths, many of them secret and on a distant soil), the Suicide Squad appeared out of nowhere and presented a new kind of storytelling to mainstream comics. Maybe experiments of this kind wouldn't have been possible without the direct market, but the raw premise of the book was this—forget heroes, even superheroes, and think about the murky of half-truths and hidden-mirrors and psych-ops, and the heavy price paid by nameless, faceless Cold Warriors.

The Esteban Carreras Chupa Cabra Cigar has taken the myth of the canine-like goat blood sucker and turned it into reality with a fine stogie priced to easily find a home in any personal humidor. Enjoying a good stogie all the way down to the nub does not have to be a myth anymore, thanks to these superior sticks!
They come in eight sizes and shapes to guarantee every preference is catered to, and each shares similar qualities while still giving the smoker a somewhat unique flavor blend. It is tight, but the draw is said to be good.
The wrapper is a naturally dark Habano Oscuro tobacco that is oily and elegant, and the Nicaraguan fillers are perfectly aged and ripened. The binder is also from Nicaragua so the stogie is a Nicaraguan dream comes true. The full-bodied strength starts at a medium-body and was said to reach its climax toward the middle of the second third.
The Esteban Carreras Chupa Cabra cigar has a uniquely complex flavor profile with strong floral tones, and the back of the palate gets to play with spicy pepper notes. There is a woodsy flavor that gains in strength and evens out in the second third, and the final third is a true combination of wood, earth, and spice.
Due to their popularity, they are not always easy to find. The price is affordable for either a single stogie or a box of twenty, and they are flying off the shelves both locally and on the internet. While it is often said that it takes an experienced smoker to truly appreciate a full-bodied stogie, these sticks provide a unique flavor blend that will appeal to any level of aficionado. If the aficionado can get their hands on these cigars, they should stock their humidor to enjoy them both now and later.

The Constitution recognises and declares that people living in Ireland have certain fundamental personal rights. These rights may be derived or implied from the Constitution. The Courts decide what the Constitution means.
Fundamental rights are not absolute – they can be limited or restricted by the Oireachtas on the grounds, for example, of the common good.
Ireland has agreed to follow the terms of 4 international treaties which lay out standards for the treatment of prisoners. These are:
There is also the Council of Europe's European Prison Rules which give guidance on standards for prisons.
The main source of prisoners' rights is the Prison Rules 2007 as amended.
The following is an overview of how prison affects the daily life and associated rights of an individual.
The courts have not yet decided that you have a right to marry while you are in prison.
You do not have a right to temporary release or conjugal visits.
If you are married, you have a right to communicate with your spouse, but without privacy. You also have a right to take some part in the education of your children.
You have a right to be registered in the political constituency where you would normally live if you were not in prison. However, you have no right to be given physical access to a ballot box by temporary release.
If you happen to be on parole or temporary release at the time of an election, you are free to vote where you are registered.
Your rights if you are on remand are the same as if you were a convicted prisoner.
The Electoral (Amendment) Act 2006 provides procedures that enable prisoners to vote by post. If you are in prison, you can register for a postal vote in the area that you would otherwise be living in. If you are already registered to vote in that area and wish to be able to vote from prison then you should fill out a form called Form RFG. If you are not already on the register then you should complete Form RFA4 as well. These application forms are available in all prisons and should be sent to the local authority for your area.
You have a right to communicate with other prisoners while you are working or at recreation. However, you must communicate in an orderly way and you cannot impede the other prisoners' work.
The governor of the prison can take away this right in the interest of good order in the prison.
You have a limited right to privacy. For example, you may not to be stripped, searched or bathed in the presence of another prisoner. In addition, you have the right to be exposed to the public view as little as possible while being removed from or to prison. However, you may be photographed. Your right to privacy may be limited for security reasons.
You may be searched and you may only be searched by officers of the same sex. The search must be done with due regard to your decency and self-respect and in as appropriate a manner as possible. At no stage should you be left completely naked.
You might have to give a hair, urine or saliva sample for the purpose of detecting the presence or use of alcohol, a controlled drug or a medicinal product.
A search can only be carried out for a genuine purpose, for example, to find forbidden items. A search cannot be carried out simply to harass you.
You have the same right to freedom from discrimination as any other citizen.
If you are involved in indoor work at the prison, you are entitled to daily exercise in the open air for one hour or more.
Where possible, you must be provided with access to indoor space and equipment, suitable for physical recreation, exercise or training.
You do not have the right to keep money in prison. You are not allowed to keep all the money and effects you brought into the prison or were sent to the prison for your use. They will be placed in the custody of the governor, who will keep an inventory of them. The money will be lodged into an account for your use.
You have a limited right to bodily integrity. For example, a prisoner's hair cannot be cut without their consent unless the prison doctor considers it necessary on health grounds.
You do not have a right to run a business or earn a livelihood from prison.
You do have a right to practise your religion. The prison will provide for basic religious needs but you do not have a right to special requirements.
When you arrive in prison, you will state your religious denomination and if there is no service provided in the prison for your denomination, the prison will allow a religious instructor visit you.
While you are in prison, you must be given a healthy, well balanced and reasonably varied diet. Where possible, provision is made to enable a prisoner to observe the dietary practices of their religion or culture. The prison medical officer can approve a change of diet.
You have a right to education while you are in prison.
The child of a female prisoner can be taken into the prison to facilitate breast feeding, until the child is 12 months of age. The child may not be taken from its mother until the medical officer certifies that it is in a fit condition to be removed.
Except in special circumstances, the child will not be kept in the prison after it is 12 months old.
Before taking a child out of prison, the governor must consult with the child's mother and the Child and Family Agency as to the appropriate placement for the child.
Prisoners do not have a right to smoke except in accordance with rules laid down by the governor.
You can find further information on prisoners' rights in the publication, Know Your Rights: Your Rights as a Prisoner produced jointly by the Irish Council for Civil Liberties and the Irish Penal Reform Trust.
If you have a question relating to this topic you can contact the Citizens Information Phone Service on 0761 07 4000 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 8pm) or you can visit your local Citizens Information Centre.

Better than expected: Norwegian Breakaway Cruise Review by intrepidone
Overall Member Rating
Better than expected
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
We stayed at the Weehauken Sheraton the night before the cruise, only because the City was packed and we couldn't find a room on the West Side at a reasonable price. The transportation to the ship was a snap on the Water Taxi from just outside the hotel. It took us to 40th street and we walked up from there. There was a little delay in boarding, but once they opened the gates, it moved well.
We were most concerned about the food and steward service, but found it comparable to what we experienced on other Norwegian cruises. We take all our meals in the dining rooms, avoiding More the buffets. We had no complaints with the two small dining rooms on the 6th deck, Taste and Savor. Service was outstanding and we had several excellent meals, some very ordinary. The Strip Steak was always a good choice, if the daily menu lacked anything interesting. The Manhattan dining room on the 7th deck was huge. If you like music and dancing during dinner and do not mind a relaxing tempo, this is the place for you. We found the pace a little slow and the music a little loud. The only specialty restaurant we generally eat at is the Bistro. We thought about eating there the first night when they gave away a bottle of wine with dinner, but decided not to until later in the cruise, but then got shut out. So, make your reservations for the Bistro early.
The entertainment was spotty. The two theatre shows, Rock of Ages and a group of dancers, were professional. We especially liked the comic-magician, but I think he might have completed his contract. The dance band, Impac, was great. They could do everything and put on a few different theme sets. The lounge entertainment was okay. One night in the martini lounge the piano player did a John Denver-Paul Simon night which attracted a huge crowd. Howl at the Moon was fun one night, but the requests tend to be the same night after night. We had to hear Piano man and Sweet Caroline 7 or 8 times during the week. We don't particularly like Second City, having seen them on several prior cruises.
The day activities left something to be desired for people our age. There were 1500 passengers under the age of 18 so most of the activities targeted at the young. They had two or three trivias a day. The big disappointment was the lack of a bridge director to organize duplicate bridge on sea days. We could always find a place to sit on deck. Our favorite place to sit and read was on the waterfront on the 8th deck I think. Comfortable chairs to relax in and pretty quiet.
We had done the same itinerary on the Gem a few years ago so we didn't go on any excursions. Since the winds were too great to tender at the private beach, the Captain got us into Nassau a day early on Christmas. That allowed us to take in the Junkeroo parade which was a 7 hour Costumed ordeal with magnificently decorated floats not unlike mardi gras beginning at 3 am. We had a balcony on the 13th deck near the forward stair case. Perfect location. The room was large enough and shower a little larger than most cruise ships. The steward did a good job. There was only one day he did not have the room made up when we returned from Breakfast. Since we had to catch a train at Penn Station on the disembarkation day, we elected to walk off ourselves at 7:30 upon arrival. Very smooth and quick. A few observations. Other people are right about the Casino being smoky and unavoidable several times a day. The Theatre is small. You need to make your seating requests early. The constant search for seats after the show has begun is annoying. The raw bar was worth it. The prices for drinks were reasonable. Less

Adequate size. Bathrooms larger than most cruise ships. Beds high enough off floor to stow suitcases without a problem.

Album overviewEditAs Above, So Below is the second album from Forced Entry. It's mostly in the thrash metal vein, although with some humor included (tracks 5 and 10, with those choruses being happily yelled for effect) and some singing from guitarist Brad Hull ("Never a Know, But The No", which is mostly slow to mid-paced, rather than being thrash, although it has the most solos of any other song on the album), rather than the usual yelled vocals of bassist Tony Benjamins.
There's also the usual tempo changes and all, as "Macrocosm, Microcosm" alternates between its technical leads to being near thrash metal, and the majority of opener "Bone Crackin' Fever" is thrash, save for the sudden tempo slowdown at 2:59, which "As of Yesterday" also has time changes, like with its initial fast riffs (until its tempo change after about 40 seconds), there's a mellow part after about two minutes, then has a fast thrash metal ending.
Also following similar suit is "When One Becomes Two", being thrash metal for a while until its slowdown at 1:50 (and then it slowly speeds back up), then later slows down and mellows out with some singing again, and "Apathy" is also mostly fast until it slows down, which it stays at that speed throughout the majority of the song until about the four minute mark.
And as was mentioned before, the album also has some humor in it, which is evidenced by the thrash tune "We're D*cks" and the ending [fellow thrash] song of "How We Spent Our Summer Vacation", but it doesn't have a lot of lyrics (the chorus gets repeated a lot) and ends with the intro from "Bone Crackin' Fever".
The album was released in 1991 by Relativity Records.
Track listEdit
- "Bone Crackin' Fever"
- "Thunderhead"
- "Macrocosm, Microcosm"
- "Never a Know, But The No"
- "We're D*cks"
- "Apathy"
- "The Unextinguishable"
- "As Of Yesterday"
- "When One Becomes Two"
- "How We Spent Our Summer Vacation"
- Tony Benjamins–lead vocals, bass
- Brad Hull–guitar, vocals
- Colin Mattson–drums
- The intro to "Bone Crackin' Fever" was accomplished by making noise with Coke bottles, amp casters, a metal drawer, a 12 string guitar, microphone stands, a piano lid, and producer Tom Soares' voice[1].
- Videos were released for "Macrocosm, Microcosm" and "Never a Know, But The No".
- Obviously a song with the title of "We're D*cks" isn't meant to be taken very seriously, and the chorus of "How We Spent Our Summer Vacation" of "Get fucked up!" might also be worth a chuckle as well.

Open Day at the Urban Wildlife Centre, Corfe Mullen
It's Open Day at the Dorset Wildlife Trust, Urban Wildlife Centre in Corfe Mullen on Saturday 16 May! Come along if you live nearby. As a fully-signed up volunteer (I have the t-shirt as you can see below!) muggins here will be in the Education Room showing people small mammals and reptiles (and trying not to be bitten by them while in front of small children), there will be a BBQ and guided walks on the beautiful Upton Heath. Lets hope the sun shines and we have a great day. I will try to get some pictures!

Kanye West endured a brief wardrobe malfunction while hitting the town with new girlfriend Kim K.
The rapper, who actually enjoys a reputation of being a well-dressed individual, was snapped stepping out of a car with Kardashian just as his trousers started to fall down. Paparazzi captured a considerable portion of Kanye thigh before West buckled up (see below). It was in stark contrast to Kardashian, who looked every inch the perfectly-groomed skinwaster.
The 34-year-old West and Kardashian, 31, were arriving back at the rapper's apartment after a romantic dinner date at a Manhattan eatery when Kanye's leather trousers decided to head south.
Witnesses say that Kanye and Kim both looked debonair during their meal, but after the car journey home, it was a different story. Maybe one too many desserts had been consumed? That's the cleanest explanation I can think of. We're a family site.
Earlier on that day, Kardashian had appeared with sister Khloe and brother-in-law Lamar Odom and took to the basketball court to shoot some hoops.
Lamar had taken Kim and Khloe to his hometown of Queens in New York, to show the privileged pair where he had grown up. Following their spot of sporty fun, the reality TV star made a quick change and headed out to meet West.
If you've been dwelling under a nice rock recently, the pairing of West and Kardashian has been building up for months. At the start of April, it was confirmed the two are now dating, with West reportedly describing Kardashian as 'his Beyonce.'
Here's the full shot of Kanye's wardrobe slippage:

So tonight we had 3 Tarecgosa's Rests (Aza, Sev and Lush), Hwired and Falln tanking, Voe and Me healing, and Souglyy, Roshii and Shabadu DPSing. Shaba I think is feeling the pinch of not being a hunter and not having a legendary.
Having all these nerfs obviously helped. Voe was telling me to heal heavily since we had a fair bit of downtime for regen, and I initially had been timing my Tranq for Onslaughts, but found that we didn't really need it in the first 3.
I don't know how many attempts we had. Maybe 10? But I was getting used to seeing this picture...
Oh, and bloody fire all over the deck! No wonder it's so horrible for melee! I still am not sure I understand how sometimes there seems to be no fire and other times the whole deck is covered in fire. I'm sure if I read it more closely I'll figure it out.
The kill attempt Voe really shone through! He solo healed the last 8-9k because I died in a shockwave and he had so little mana! Nerf Shamans!!!! Lushnek threw out a desperate tranquility and Voe kept everyone else alive (except Souglyy, she joined me facedown on the deck) and we are now 6/8! Yay!
One thing I had difficulty seeing was who had the healing debuff in phase 2. I couldn't see it at all, and it didn't seem to be on my raid window. If Voe hadn't said he had it, then I would have been wasting seconds peering at each person individually to see who had it. Maybe if I see what the debuff looks like then I can recognise it more easily.
So after that, we went to Throne of the Four Winds so Souglyy could get her achievement, and we ended up getting another achievement too!
Yay Frostwolves!!! Now do we torture ourselves on Sunday for a look at Heroic Spine?

Some of my good friends are janitors and Keith Olbermann ain't not janitor
Heh. Awesome. Of course the ultimate indignity for Keef would be cleaning O'Reilly's set.

i think this hurt oc rick's feelings.
Wouldn't surprise me. They do have Geraldo & Judith Miller already on the payroll. It's "fair and balanced".
Hilarious…saw this link to here on the Tweetdeck…truly had me a little teensy-weensy bit worried….after-all did they hire Geraldo!
Had me going till I saw the picture. Doubt olby could do janitor work right.
OC Rick,
You volunteering?
I think it's sick. More signs of deterioration at Fox – or the threat of FCC action against them.
I would love for Fox News to hire Olbermann. Talk about a coup de grace. Seriously, the left would experience a permanent melt-down of epic proportions.
@ OC Rick: I'll bet you are, and would enjoy it!
OC Rick, let's make this simple: your idol got fired. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Jim Hoft: give out OC Rick's IP and I'll do what I can to get him fired as well, and to break up his marriage.
I want Fox to hire him and plant him between Oliver North and Chuck Norris in a new pundit program called 'Crosshairs'. First guess could by Rep. Allen West.

Noone would hire a filthy man like him for cleaning anything!
For a moment, I thought perhaps the people at FOX had a really demented sense of humor. Sadly, I must admit that I would have found joy in the torment that a multi-million dollar offer from FOX would have inflicted on the newly unemployed Krazy Keith. And can you imagine how his love sick-puppies would have reacted to such news?
ok you got me
Reminds me of the janitor on Scrubs
I think he'd screw this one up too.
Who in his right mind would trust Obermann with a mop?
It must be a joke. I don't think Olbermann will go to Fox News. Fox News should have fired some of these liberals work with them like Geraldo, Greta, Bob Beckel, and more. Sarah Palin, a Republican should have been fired from Fox News, too.
Operational security is a must. Hiring a known subversive
should only be done if your trying to catch a bigger mole.
Olberman got what his work deserved. Capitalist system worked in this instances.
Powder is dry & Keith was fired.
Sadly, "This is the finger I use to scrub Glenn Beck's private crapper." might work better for him than his previous line…
The firing of Olbermann comes at the exact moment when Fox is under coordinated pressure to let go Glenn Beck. I question the timing.
"Glenn Beck Fans Send Death Threats to Elderly College Professor"
Methinks Olberdeush would feel more at home in a french maid outfit.
Socialists don't work…not really, and not in such a way that they might be required to sweat.
Now he can join SEIU

That's not any janitor. That's The Janitor from Scrubs and putting Olbermann's mug on him is an insult to The Janitor.
"exact moment when Fox is under coordinated pressure to let go Glenn Beck. I question the timing.." they already gave that a shot by running a boycott of his show – instigated by one who was still part of the white house gang as in Van jones. when you look at the boycott attempts and the cast of characters and who they're associated with…… and why is it not totally crazy and beyond the pale to imagine a group of bots snickering in a back room somewhere manufacturing hate letters to an old bag prof in hopes of making them look like they came from the Beck group. we've moved beyond the need to provide proof of guilt.

Oh wait… KO can't work at another network because of that clause in the contract that he signed. Guess it's the toilet for KO!

Hotels will soon have a new tool to fight bedbugs, Good Samaritan doctors complain about poorly stocked medical kits on aeroplanes, and more.
Thousands face volcanic ash cloud flight cancellations, hotels will soon have a new tool to fight bedbugs, Good Samaritan doctors complain about poorly stocked medical kits on aeroplanes, and more. Here are the stories that travellers are buzzing about:
Flights in Scottish airspace are cancelled
Ash continues to drift eastward from an erupting volcano in Iceland, and many airlines are refusing to fly through Scottish airspace for safety reasons. But flights may resume within a day or two as the air clears, though other routes in the UK may be affected within the next 48 hours, reports BBC News. Stranded passengers can find their EU rights listed here.
The battle against bedbugs takes a new twist
Many travellers fear being bitten by bedbugs at their hotels, but hotels don't reveal how widespread these pests are, for obvious reasons. New York City hotels may be the most vulnerable to infestation among all US cities, due to the high count of incidents citywide, according to a new survey by pest-control company Terminex that was reported this morning by USA Today. So what to do? Popular Science has awarded an innovation award for an electronic device that can locate the bloodsuckers more quickly, cheaply and accurately than other methods, thanks to new sensors. The device is set to go on sale later this year under the name Bedbug Detective for about $200. Hotels may be able to use it to combat bedbugs more effectively.
"Is there a doctor on the plane?"
It's luck of the draw if you fall critically ill on a flight. Airlines in the US are not required to have standardised medical equipment, such as a defibrillator or a specified number of latex gloves. In many cases, doctors acting as Good Samaritans have to work with limited equipment, says The New York Times. Nobody knows how many in-flight medical emergencies happen in the US because the government doesn't track such figures. "We know more about animals that die on aeroplanes than we do about people," says the author of a recent paper on the topic in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Air France black box: Captain wasn't in the cockpit
Investigators studying the recordings from Air France Flight 447's final four minutes in the air reveal the senior pilot rushed into the cockpit well after the trouble started, sources tell Der Spiegel. The plane had been flying under the control of co-pilots while the captain, Marc Dubois, was apparently on a routine rest break. This Friday, investigators are scheduled to give their first report on the causes of the fatal crash, the Wall Street Journal reports.

FOR 29 years, manager Steve Bradley has virtually singlehandedly run Badsey United Football Club.
From sweeping the dressing rooms and marking the pitch to picking the team and doing the paperwork, you name it, he does it for the Stratford Alliance outfit.
The 58-year-old also plays in the team's defence and this season helped them win promotion to Division Two.
But after three decades as both player-boss and secretary, Bradley, whose wife Sandra is treasurer, feels it is time to hand over the reins at Ballards Park.
He said: "I wouldn't have done anything if I didn't enjoy it — sweeping the dressing rooms, marking the pitch and phoning the results in, I did everything and I couldn't wait for the next game.
"I have got a good bunch of lads and I have always had that. They either stay for one year or 20 years. they either like the way I do it or they don't. I have always played myself, even this season I played 75 per cent of the game and I am 58.
"When I got out on the pitch I always enjoyed it but it was like somebody flicked a switch and I just didn't want it anymore.
"I work six days a week at Ferryfast in Pershore and I start work at 1.15am and it's getting such a push now to do that and do all the other stuff."
To celebrate his commitment, United played a friendly against Badsey Recreation Club, who Bradley also played for in the Evesham Sunday League Division Three until last year, with the former winning 9-5 last Saturday.
Martin Skembry will take over as manager, while Glen Jervis will become secretary and wife Claire treasurer.

LATEX conjugation kit – 400nm Blue
LATEX conjugation kit - 400nm Blue
The LATEX Conjugation Kit allows antibodies or proteins to be conjugated to our high quality 400nm blue latex beads quickly and easily. The latex beads are designed for ease of use and have much improved handling compared with traditional latex. This has been achieved by specially treating the particles. The conjugation is covalent, and requires less antibody than traditional passive and covalent latex conjugation.
The 400 nm blue latex beads in this kit are freeze dried. The conjugation reaction is initiated simply by reconstituting the dry mixture with your antibody, which becomes attached (via lysine residues) to the specially treated surface.
Do you want to know if your conjugation was a success?
Try our new and unique Conjugate Check&Go! Kit.
LATEX conjugation procedure
- 30 seconds to set up the conjugation
- 3 minutes hands-on time for the conjugation procedure
- Conjugate is ready to use within 35 minutes. Simply pipette the biomolecule into a vial containing the latex nanoparticles, then centrifuge to buffer exchange.
Please do not hesitate to Contact us to find out more!
Bulk Quantities
Our LATEX conjugation technology is fully scalable for easy transfer from R&D to manufacturing. To request pricing on large quantities please get in touch.
Figure 1. Lateral Flow Assay of our specially-treated latex beads conjugated to a monoclonal anti-CRP antibody (mAb1) titrated against CRP. 2 ng/ml CRP can easily be detected.
Figure 2. Lateral Flow Assay of our specially-treated latex conjugated to the monoclonal anti-CRP antibody (mAb 2) titrated against CRP in buffer or CRP spiked CRP-depleted serum (100 % serum). The latex behaves similarly in serum and buffer, and no aggregation or non-specific binding is seen.
Figure 3. Multiplexed Latex. The three colours of latex each conjugated to a different antibody or protein and forming a line either by a direct binding event (red and black latex) or a sandwich assay binding event (blue latex). The three colours of latex demonstrate no aggregation or background staining.

What is different about the Latex Conjugation Kit?
The latex particles are specially treated to enhance the handling of the latex and permit easy covalent attachment of antibodies and other proteins. The conjugation reaction is initiated simply by adding a solution of the antibody to the freeze-dried powder; the hands on time is 3 minutes and the conjugate is ready to use within 35 minutes.
Latex nanoparticles are prone to aggregation both before and after conjugation, and harsh methods such as sonication or vortexing are routinely needed to resuspend both conjugated and unconjugated latex. Our special treatment significantly improves the handling of the latex and vastly reduces the propensity of the latex to aggregate. Harsh resuspension methods are not required, and recovery of usual mono-disperse latex particles is very high.
What type of linkage to the latex is formed?
The antibody becomes covalently attached to the specially treated surface via lysine residues.
Does the conjugated antibody bind to the latex surface?
The special treatment shields the latex surface, preventing surface - antibody interactions. For this reason you cannot use our latex for passive conjugation.
How many latex beads are in each kit?
Each vial of freeze dried latex will provide 40ul 1% conjugated latex. In the 4 reaction kit there is 160ul 1% latex in total and in the 10 reaction kit there is a total of 400ul 1% latex. 40ul 1% latex should provide enough conjugate to perform approximately 50 lateral flow assays.
What if I need bulk material?
The Mini kits are a convenient for rapid production of small quantities of conjugate for screening purposes. The Midi kits are ten times the size of the Mini kits for medium scale work (e.g. ~500 lateral flow tests). Bulk quantities can also be produced to meet your custom needs. Please contact us to discuss your bulk or custom conjugation needs or if you require any additional information.
Can antibodies from different species be used?
Yes. We have tested a variety of species including mouse & goat.
Can monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies be used?
Yes. Our Latex Conjugation Kit has been developed for use with both monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies.
Can antibody fragments and non-antibody proteins be conjugated?
One of the advantages of the protective coat is that it is less likely than a bare surface to cause denaturation of antibody fragments and other proteins.
Is the kit suitable for conjugating small molecules including analytes?
The Latex Conjugation Kit has been optimised for use with antibodies, but it may be possible to conjugate small molecules with primary amine functional groups. Please contact Innova Technical Services at email@example.com for information and support.
What can I do if my antibody is not in a compatible buffer?
The conjugation reaction is sensitive to a number of common buffers and buffer additives. The antibody should be in 10 – 50 mM MES, MOPS or HEPES at pH 6 – 7 for conjugation. As these are not common storage buffers for antibodies and other proteins we have developed the companion product the Antibody Concentration & Clean Up Kit for Latex to switch the antibody buffer to one that is optimal for conjugation efficiency.
What can I do if my antibody has non-antibody protein components or is not purified?
To remove contaminating proteins before conjugation or to purify your antibody from ascites fluid, serum or tissue culture supernatant please see our AbPure range of purification products.
What colour latex should I buy?
Our blue, red and black latex all behave in a very similar way chemically, so the ideal latex colour will depend on your application and the preference of the scientist.
How can I know if my conjugation was a success?
Confirm the success of your antibody conjugation with our Check&Go! kit, a nitrocellulose membrane containing a 'Test line' of immobilized Protein A and Protein G called a "half strip". The Conjugate Check&Go! strips allow visualization of conjugates generated using our beads and nanoparticles at different concentrations of antibody.
