With the genre of comedy, it seems increasingly difficult to come up with something that feels "new". Even if the movie's story feel familiar it is tough to come up with a fresh take on it, with characters that are both funny and likeable. Other comedies fall prey to a director's lack of vision, where instead of creating something on the screen that has a certain look and feel to it that makes it feel like a unique film director's vision, with camera usage add layers to the film's overall tone and themes of that particular scene, the filmmaker will create a bland, formulaic, and clichéd uninspired direction, praying the laughs will hold everything together and will be just enough. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Never the less anyone can appreciate a great comedy, and when there is buzz about one that is high in quality, people do get even more curious about it. There are plenty of horrible comedies out there, and a lot of times with the genre it is a hit or miss. "The Hangover" (2009) was a film that was getting some great buzz around it and was said to be an instant classic. This is a great comedy, which feels fresh and original, with a stellar cast of actors and characters, and a great sense of the unpredictable hides most of the flaws.
The film's story opens up with a man named Doug about to get married. Doug and his friends, Phil, Stu, and Alan head off to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. Phil, Stu, and Alan wake up from a massive hangover and cannot remember what happened the night before. They also cannot seem to find Doug. The group has to piece together what happen to them the night before and find Doug because he has a wedding to go to in one day.
The story we have all seen is the bachelor party in Las Vegas scenario, it has been done to death. This isn't like anything we have seen before. Although there may have been some films dealing with similar story ideas, this one is a completely different take on that story. Screenwriters Jon Lucas and Scott Moore put together a brilliant script with a premise that is fresh and original. It drops the audience into a situation where they have no idea what's happened or what's about to happen, forcing the audience to place themselves in the characters, since you are going through the same thing as they are. You're discovering everything as they are. The pacing of the script is nearly perfect, there is a moment or two where the pacing slows but that's something easy to overlook. It's funny when it wants to be and serious when it wants to be.
There are several people that are responsible for bringing this great script to life, but the main man behind it is director Todd Phillips. He creates a brilliant tone and feel for the film. It has a nice sense of fun but also one that we can take seriously. Not only that but the timing and direction set it apart from other comedies. Occasionally he'll take his comedy too far, into places where it isn't funny and is grosser than anything. Many directors make the mistake of gross for funny and at times this film does that. Raunchy and gross are also two separate things, one we can stand; the other one is just not funny. That being said Todd Phillips does a great job with the material and even has a really nice look for the film as well.
This movie is really funny. The laughs are created from a variety of ways. Some smart slapstick, pop culture references, funny situations, and some great smartly written dialogue between characters. Many moments will have you laughing hard and with the exception of a moment or two, the laughs never die down. Some moments are instantly memorable, some moments will make you chuckle, some moments you will be quoting along with your friends.
The other thing that makes this movie is the characters. All of them are likeable and fun. Each one different than the last with each a distinct personality, and weaknesses, they need each other to get through this. Phil is played by Bradley Cooper, a teacher that is a wannabe badass and is unhappy with his home life. Cooper is perfect in the role and brings everything he needs and shows he has star power. Ed Helms plays Stu, a dentist who isn't completely like Andy Bernard from "The Office" but still very similar, however it's something that can be passed over. Zach Galifianakis steals the show as the misunderstood and mentally unstable Alan, who does says and does some pretty messed up things but he is still very loveable. The best thing is they don't overuse him, like so many other films that don't know how to use their quote on quote "weird/funny" side character. Some movies use them too much while others underuse them, this struck the right balance. Justin Bartha is always likeable as Doug. Ken Jeong goes over the top as Chow, good for the role and has the right amount of screen time but does get a little annoying, that being said it isn't a huge flaw since he doesn't have many scenes he is involved in.
Good fresh comedies are hard to come by. The script was original and smart; the movie is funny even if it does once again try to be gross instead of funny. The directing is excellent, Todd Phillips proves to be an excellent director. The characters are likeable and fun, performed by great comedic actors. The humor is not for everyone but anyone with an open mind or anyone who enjoys a good comedy should this one a shot.

A discount rate laminate flooring setup can be a hugely fulfilling Do It Yourself project. Not only are these floors far more cost effective than genuine wood, however they are easy to install and commonly had lengthy service warranties. When browsing through your regional home improvement shop, you are sure to ask yourself: 'How on earth am I supposed to know the best ways to choose a quality discount laminate flooring product? Exactly what do I have to look for?'.
Will it get unclean? If the rug requires to be long lasting and stand some severe abuse, like people cleaning their feet before strolling all over your cooking area floor then you'll really want something designed to take this torment. If the rug is actually just a showpiece in a space that is practically never utilized then you don't have to get something commercial strength.
Every room is bound to have pipelines, with radiators being the most typical reason for them. To work around a pipeline, drill a hole around 5 mm larger in diameter than the circumference of the pipe into the market point on your board where the pipe will be. Then make 2 angled saw cuts from the edge of the board to the sides of the hole. Once the board is fitted, you can glue these off-cuts behind the pipeline. Nevertheless, there need to be a space the whole method round the pipeline.
Then don't stress, if you discover yourself in a similar scenario. The very first thing you need to do is to turn off the source of the water. If it's just a case of turning off the taps then do this. If nevertheless the water has actually originated from a burst pipeline then you could have to turn the water off at the mains supply. If it is merely a case of switching off a bath tap, do be careful. The floor could be risky to stand on if the flooding is bad and the water has been sat there a while. You may discover that the floor could collapse into the room below if your restroom is not on a ground floor be additional mindful. Then call in a contractor, if you're worried about structural damage to the floor and the ceiling below. It's much better to be safe than sorry in this scenario.
The odd thing about how "complex" things appear, however, is that it is not exactly what it appears. It ends up nearly anyone can install this appealing flooring, offering they stick to the initial policies without varying. I have given some pointers based upon my experiences which can at worst offer a couple of insights into the common discomforts, both physically and aesthetically in the installation of Laminate Flooring.

Interview with author Julie S. Dobbins
Today, my guest is Julie S. Dobbins, author and narrator of Melissa and the Green Blanket.
Julie please tell us about yourself by answering the following questions.
1. How long have you been writing?
Since about 1978. It could have been a little earlier, but that's when I focused more on writing instead of drawing. That was also about the time that I discovered The Hobbit and fell in love with what a really good story can do; where it can take you. I had always enjoyed reading, but The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings touched me in a special way. Maybe it was because it was fantasy and it took me away from all of my 15 year-old girlish angst.
2. What made you decide to become a writer?
It started to come easier than drawing. I have some old drawings that I did in Jr. High school that are actually pretty good, but I wasn't consistent. One drawing would be good and the next one would be a disappointment.
With writing, I could be more consistent. If I felt inspired, I could get it down on paper. With art, what I drew didn't always match my feeling of inspiration, so I took the more satisfying road.
I didn't write much after high school. I dabbled with it a little every now and then, but nothing serious. It wasn't until my son was about six years old that I started to get serious with it again. He loved to be read to, and I needed something new to read to him one night. I pulled out my old copy of The Hobbit, thinking it would be too mature for him but I would give it a shot. He loved it! So we went through the whole series. From there we went to The Chronicles of Narnia. I guess rereading those great stories awakened the creativity that was sleeping deep inside.
3. What influences your writing?
Books, of course, but also old movies, cartoons, life. My son is a major influence and so is my husband.
I love Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia. I am also influenced by Peter S. Beagle. I love the way he makes the unbelievable, believable.
4. What is your writing process?
Hmm. I'm sure I have one, but I have no idea what it is. I try to keep pen and paper handy so that I can jot something down when I think of it. Sometimes ideas just come to me fully developed, sometimes I start with one thing and it ends up completely different. With fiction, I work on it until it becomes stale and then leave it alone for a few days or weeks. When I go back to it, the story seems fresh and I have new ideas for it.
With nonfiction, I work on it pretty steadily. I'll take a break from the writing part to do research, but I don't let it rest until I've finished it. After it's completed, I set it aside for a few days and then go over it again to tweak it.
5. How did you come up with the idea of a multi-media package?
Two things in particular influenced how we did Melissa and the Green Blanket. First, Harold and the Purple Crayon is my all-time favorite children's book. That directly influenced the artwork - simple line drawings with just the crayon (or blanket, as in my case) being in color.
Secondly, Amy Grant and Chet Atkins released a CD and VHS package of The Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat back in the 1980's. That influenced the narration with the accompanying music. I knew I wanted the book to be small, so the booklet size not only worked well but completed the package. My husband is a professional musician, so adding the PDF files of the transcribed music was just a natural thing to do. Combining all of it into a multi-media package was a logical result.
I went to bookstores wherever we went to see if there was a multi-media package like ours, and there wasn't. Some were close, but not with all that we offered. Now there are more on the market like ours, but we were one of the first.
6. What came first, your story or Craig's music?
The story came first, actually. Our son was visiting his grandparents one afternoon and Craig and I were talking about some of the funny things Bennett would do. That led to talking about other children and their antics, which included Melissa. During the reminiscing, I said, "Melissa and her green blanket...." As soon as I said it we both said, "That's a children's book title!" I grabbed a pen and notebook and pretty much wrote the story right then.
As a musician, Craig is always working on a new tune so it wasn't long before he was creating a piece of music that we realized was "Melissa."
7. In the book you state Melissa is the daughter of your illustrator, David Moon. Why did you choose Melissa as your role model?
I used to babysit Melissa years ago. She's in her early 20's now and doesn't seem to need a babysitter anymore, for some reason. The story was a natural because she used to do the things in the book. She didn't want her mother to wash her blanket because she had it with her all of the time. Pretty much, the story is just telling what I used to watch her do.
Do you always base your characters on children you know?
Not always. I have written a couple based on my son, but he doesn't want me to use his name for the character. Otherwise, I'm influenced by the children I know or observe, but I haven't based any stories on them.
8. Tell us about your other writing. You mentioned you've written other children's books, but this is your first published work.
I have a few that are finished and several that are works in progress. The ones that are finished are all short, so I'm collecting in one book. They make good bedtime stories because they are short. Let's see, there's Never Invite a Scorpion to Dinner, Bennett is a Dinosaur, Corduroy Crocodile, and The Turkey-Moose. I need to look through my files to see what can be added to it.
9. Why did you and Craig decide to self-publish the CD and picture book?
We have been self publishing for years. (My husband writes instructional guitar books, some of which have been picked up by traditional publishers like Mel Bay and Warner Brothers.) So we knew what we were getting into.
We had originally pitched the idea to our editor at one of the guitar book publishers. Although our editor was excited about the project, he couldn't get it to go through. We were encouraged that he thought it was a good idea, so we pursued it ourselves.
10.Tell us your thoughts about self-publishing vs traditional publishing.
I have experienced both and have had a good experience with each endeavor. Life was a little easier with the traditional publisher, though. They had all of the upfront expense and I did't have to use my living room for a warehouse. They also helped with the promoting of the book and they were able to get it into bookstores that are not open to self published authors.
11.Tell us about your marketing strategy for Melissa and the Green Blanket.
When "Melissa" was first released, I arranged an interview/article in our local newspaper, a radio interview, a book signing at a store, and readings at the library and Chick-Fil-A for family night. I was working on scheduling a couple of television interviews when I had to drop everything to help with a family health crisis.
Now I am having to start promoting all over again. I am getting the CD reviewed (thanks, Penny!), I have attended a book festival and a music festival, and I have sent the CD to a homeschooling magazine for their product review column. We have also had a CD signing at a bookstore and we promote "Melissa" whenever my husband has a performance. Sometimes we give copies away to a child who seems to particularly enjoy hearing the music.
Since its release, it has been available through Craig's website (www.craigdobbins.com), on Amazon, CD Baby, and more websites than I can remember.
12.What are your thoughts about children's writers needing an agent or not needing one.
Never having had an agent, I don't know that I'm qualified to say much on this subject. My husband does the dishes and mails the review copies for me. Does he count as an agent?
A lot of publishing houses are still open to unagented submissions for children's books, including some publishers that require an agent for their other genres. So, having an agent isn't really needed for getting published.
One agent rejected Melissa and the Green Blanket because he "just wasn't enthusiastic enough" about my project to represent it. Rejection isn't personal, it's really subjective. That particular rejection, by the way, ticked me off just a little bit. What if that agent isn't "enthusiastic" about coming in to work that day? His rejection had less to do with my work or whether it fit his contact list and more to do with how he happened to feel at the moment.
On the other hand, I have watched Peter Beagle's agent/manager, Connor Cochran, and I would love to have someone like him representing me. Connor makes things happen and he takes care of everything so that all Peter has to do is write or show up for engagements. I would love to have someone to keep up with submissions, marketing, and all of the business end of writing while I just spend my time being a writer. Of course, I'm no Peter Beagle so I don't have a Connor Cochran.
13.Do you have any tips for new writers wanting to enter the field of children's writing?
Write. Keep writing. Observe children. Establish yourself by writing articles for magazines. Attend the Muse Online Writer's Conference where you'll get to meet a very supportive and encouraging group of people in addition to some great workshops. The Institute of Children's Literature has an excellent writing program and they have helpful information on their website.
Follow the submission guidelines. Read them carefully and then do what they say. Rejection letters are just part of the process. If you follow the guidelines you can reduce the number of rejections because you won't submit a children's story to a romance publisher.
14.Where can people learn more about Julie S. Dobbins?
Currently the best place is at www.jacketflap.com/jsdobbins. My blog is posted there as well as links to any other websites where I can be found. I plan to launch my own website sometime during 2010.
Julie, thank you for being my guest today and sharing your writing experience with us.

What a great interview, Penny. I learned so much about Julie and her writing.ReplyDelete
Julie, it's wonderful that you and your husband get to work together. I think that would be fun. One of my grandsons was very attached to his blanket too. Sounds like a story many children will relate to.
Thanks ladies. Oh, and Penny, I awarded you "One Lovely Blog Award." Details are at my blog:
Have a super weekend.
Hi Bev, thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed the interview. Thank you also for my One Lovely Blog award. I appreciate the support.ReplyDelete

Though the "sweet-salty" trend has definitely had its moment, I find that there are still times when "just a pinch" can bring many sweet treats to a whole new level.

That there is virtually no difference at all, and you are often being completely misled when you buy products labeled with the ingredient "cane juice". If you are interested, here's a great […]
101: ganache
February 9th, 2013
Ganache is, hands down, THE multi-tasker in the kitchen. With just a few ingredients, minimal time and zero special equipment, you've got the base for (are you ready?) THREE different recipes – a glaze, a frosting or some heavenly truffles. I made the truffles. Can you say "Valentine's Day"?
celebrate, good times
May 2nd, 2012
Last weekend was one for celebrations. On Friday afternoon Mike came home from an almost 2-week business trip (yay!!!). Noah really missed him, and would every so often stop what he was doing to look up at him and just smile and stare, as if to say, "You're really back!". So cute. On Saturday I attended […]

matzoh crack
April 16th, 2011
-ERS, people. Matzoh crack-ERS………… This recipe appeared at Passover several years ago, courtesy of my cousin Amy. We collectively pounced on the tray, declared, "this is a KEEPER" and it's been a Seder staple ever since. In an on-line search for this recipe, I've seen it referred to by various names – "matzoh crunch", "chocolate matzoh brittle" and "chocolate […]
s'mores bars
April 10th, 2011
I can always tell when it's getting close to the time for Chelsea to come home because I start getting e-mails with links to sites like this. And this. Chelsea loves to bake when she's home. She has a knack for picking recipes that are completely irresistible, and before I know what's hit me, I'm running to the store to buy […]

Sometimes you have to dig deep to discover what you really need.
Marketing events manager Molly Keir doesn't realise how much she still cares for her ex until she meets him with another woman. Her answer is to seize the chance of a glittering job in London – even though this will mean leaving behind her aging father and pregnant best friend Lexie Gordon.
Adam Blair is in the wrong job. Pressured by his father to join the family law firm, the stress of work helped break his marriage. Now Molly is moving to London, and he knows he needs to move on – but events soon overtake his best intentions.
A year ago, Caitlyn Murray quit her well-paid job to avoid becoming a whistleblower. Now she is stuck at home with her overworked mother and four needy step-siblings. Tempted by the offer of a good wage, she returns to her old firm – where her nightmare comes back to haunt her.
Molly and Adam seem to have gone too far to recover the love they once had, and when Caitlyn finds the courage to speak out, she brings all their worlds tumbling down.
|Jenny Harper is a fantastic gifted storyteller. I loved every page. Molly Keir always claimed that her success as an events manager was down to her passion for detail. But she had made mistakes in her personal life. Molly sees her ex husband Adam Blair with a classical beautiful woman in a silky dress and a hugging perfect figure. Who is she? Molly had no idea that her ex husband was seeing anyone. She can't be jealous, as Molly did leave him because she were having an affair. I highly recommend the paperback Mistakes We Make. I loved reading this book and enjoyed the page turner of entertainment about Molly and Adam. Next I would like to read Between Friends by Jenny Harper.

However, several told SN they doubt the hiatus had been planned from the beginning, as the company indicated it was.

- Part 1: Helped into Power
- Part 2: Chaos and Consent
- Part 3: The Wrong War
- Part 4: The Wild East
- Part 5: The Road to Treblinka
The Early Years.
Part one of the six part series sets the scene for viewers who are curious about the roots of the Nazi party. We learn about the impact that World War I had on young Hitler. He is deeply connected to German nationalism and uniting the German peoples of the world (namely the ones in Austria, The Sudetenland, and other Balto-Germanic places.) Many key events are highlighted in this film, but its true novelty comes with its primary sources. Since it was made in 1997 there are a lot more people that were alive at the time of the actual events – many of them still ardent Nazis. As I'm typing this now there is a man going on about "World Jewry" that wants to gain control of the earth! Timeline:
- The Beer Hall Putsch in 1923: Hitler impulsively throws together a coup at a local pub in Munich. He thought the police were going to back him but it was foolish and his attempt was immediately quashed. Hitler got off pretty easily due to a sympathetic judge who let him go after just one month.
- Initial difficulties with appealing to the masses. Hitler's inability to normalize the party and get it into the mainstream, seen in the 1928 elections when they won just 2.6% of the vote.
- How the depression in Germany created the perfect atmosphere for someone radical and libelous like Hitler.
This episode is particularly interesting because it exposes just how unpopular the Nazis were at first. They were really like a rag-tag team of country hicks in the beginning, totally unable to gain popular support. The depression is really what opened up the scene for Hitler to dominate – without that he never would'v'e gotten the middle class. When the chaos of the depression erupted in the street Hitler provided order and structure that people desperately needed to cling to at that time.
We Open With Hitler Becoming Chancellor in 1933.
- The communists and socialists were actually the first group to be persecuted by the Nazis. Granted, many communists also doubled as Jews (which facilitated an unfortunate conflation between Communism and Judaism.) Dachau was one of the first camps and it was very brutal, but there was no extermination plot at the time. In the early days it was not crazy to condone concentration camps: it was a revolution after all, and political prisoners happen.
- April 1 1933, Boycott of Jewish shops. Early Jewish scapegoating.
- The downfall of the Storm Troopers (SA) and Ernst Roehm. (I'd like to mention that they mention nothing of Roehm's flagrant homosexuality and the homoerotic nature of the SA – maybe in 1997 it was still too touchy? They actually spent very very little time on the Night of Long Knives.)
- Interesting insight into Hitler's weird personality. He was actually quite lazy and distracted. Allegedly Hitler always thought in the abstract and was often very absent minded; Hitler did not take practicality into consideration and expected extraneous events to "just work themselves out."
- Nazis gain favor because they helped get people their jobs back and they took back some previously lost territory. Weird occult behaviors.
The Nazi Aggression gets Exponentially Worse.
- Anschluss in Austria. The Austrians appeared to be happy to be reunited with their people.
- Contrast that with the take over of Czechoslovakia. Czechs were miserable and not happy with German insurgency.
- Germany demands the Danzig corridor back. After they are unable to get the Polish to return the territory diplomatically then Germany declares war on them and invades Poland. France and England declared war on Germany a few days later.
Poland Suffered More Than Any Occupied Country.
A huge driving force behind German aggression was their need for "Lebensraum," roughly translated as "Living Space." Germans defeated the Polish resistance in 5 short weeks and began to massacre its citizens immediately afterwards. 1 in 5 Poles would be dead at the end of the war. There are lots of unapologetic Nazis in this documentary, lackadaisically referring to the common German thought that Poles are dirty etc.
- Attempted social engineering of a new German society. Baltic Germans resettled into evacuated Polish houses in the new Polish-German corridor.
- Nazi Cruelty and profiteering off of the Jewish victims.
- Ghettoization of the Jews of Poland.
This Documentary continues to amaze me with extensive interviews from everyday Nazis. They're unapologetic for the most part and it's very disturbing.
The Einsatzgruppen were mobile death squads of SS soldiers that usually followed the German army into the Eastern conquered territories in order to execute mass murder. Known for their extreme brutality at places like Babi Yar, this portion of the documentary teaches us about the fatal conflation of Communism and Judaism. The local Lithuanians and Latvians were absolutely collaborators and not just bystanders – they had been oppressed by communism and were ready to seek revenge. The Nazis organized the killing but the everyday rank and file was completely made up of the Jews' former neighbors.

Stevenage FC: Security Ask Fans To Show Bras
Lamex Stadium Staff Allegedly Asked Female Away Supporters To Lift Their Tops
A 17-year-old boy has been attacked and stabbed whilst walking along a footpath in Sandy last Monday (July 16).
The incident took place at around 8.30pm as the victim was walking along the pathway which is near to the train station and Potton Road in Sandy. The youngster was approached by three white males aged between 16 and 20 who then attacked him. One of the offenders pushed the victim and a second then struck him just below the shoulder with an implement which caused a small puncture wound before the three fled.
The victim made his way to Potton Road where he was able to flag down a passing motorist who alerted the emergency services. He was taken to Bedford South Wing Hospital by paramedics for treatment to a minor injury to his shoulder.
Detective Constable Martyn Hynes, who is investigating the incident, is keen to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident and may have witnessed the assault or seen the offenders fleeing the area.
He said: "This was a seemingly unprovoked attack which has left a young boy very shaken up and we need the public?s help in tracing his attackers. We believe that a number of people were in the area at the time, either coming from the train station or local residents, and I?d really like to hear from anyone who may have seen this assault or the offenders."
If you have information relating to this incident, contact DC Hynes, in confidence, on 01234 275227, the non-emergency number 101, or text information to 07786 200011.

Cuba's former Prime Minister and revolutionary leader Fidel Castro has died at the age of 90, state television reported on Saturday. He was the Prime Minister of the country from 1959 to 1976 and then served as President from 1976 to 2008. Cuban President Raul Castro announced the death of his brother on state television.
"The commander in chief of the Cuban revolution died at 22:29 hours this (Friday) evening," the president announced on national television.
Head of government and state is president of the Council of State and president of Council of Ministers, positions Fidel Castro held until he resigned in February 2008. Castro's younger brother Raul elected by National Assembly to replace him on February 24, 2008.

If you follow me on twitter you probably think I'm a hot mess. I've received so many tweets, direct messages, e-mails and comments from people who have been concerned if I'm okay. I've said to almost everyone, "I'm always okay".. because, honestly I know what I've gone through in life so far and I've always made it through. I'm very strong and I just have to keep reminding myself of that.
I'm very good at putting a smile on and not letting people see me cry or get upset. Yes, I've used twitter to express myself.. but, most people I'm around in person don't even realize anything is wrong. I was talking to one of the regulars at work and mentioned that I need to start working out again as a stress relief and he told me that I hide negative emotions so well because I never seem like I'm stressed or upset, I always seem happy.
Some people when they're upset they eat way more than usual and some people can't eat at all. I'm one of those people who can't eat if I'm really upset. I've lost weight within the past few days and I just feel weak physically. Sunday-Wednesday I probably consumed not even the normal amount of calories I'd consume in a typical day.
I went out for happy hour on Wednesday thinking that I'd have a few drinks, relax and not stress about things. But, not eating and drinking craft beers was not a good mix. I ended up getting so wasted off of 2 beers and a shot. I turned into a crazy, crazy girl. Not the good kind of crazy. I got into a huge fight with my parents over nothing. Then I finally broke down and admitted that I wasn't okay.
I woke up on Thursday morning and felt awful for allowing myself to be so weak. When I'm really upset, I shut myself off to anyone that's trying to be there for me. It's like I don't want to be alone, but I almost feel the need to be alone. I have to make plans just so I can force myself to get out and have fun.
As I said I didn't want to post about this again. It just happened.
Last night LBZ showed me this video and it instantly put a smile on my face.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I'm going to work on some posts so you don't have to read more lame posts from me. Thanks for sticking around!

Focus on where you live:
Kennedy and Lincoln
West Sussex County Times Article
I don't remember where I was. When John F Kennedy became the fourth President of the United States to be assassinated, half a century ago this Friday, I was only a few months old.
Visiting his memorial library in Boston a few years ago, I questioned what JFK's enduring legacy would be. Perhaps his establishment of the Peace Corps, which still sends American volunteers around the world to help the needy, or laws to end racial segregation.
But it is his soaring rhetoric in defence of freedom that still inspires. Kennedy's injunction, in his inaugural address, to "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" remains one of the most potent political phrases in history.
This week also saw the anniversary of another great speech by another assassinated President. 150 years ago, Abraham Lincoln stood at the memorial at Gettysburg, site of one of the bloodiest battles in the US Civil War.
In just over two minutes, in just 271 words, Lincoln delivered what has become one of the most celebrated speeches of all time.
The President himself predicted that the world would "little note" his words. The Chicago Times called them "silly, flat and dishwatery utterances." The Times of London was scathing.
They were wrong. Lincoln's demand that the terrible loss of life should herald "a new birth of freedom" for the United States, and that "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth" still moves people to tears today.
This summer I stood at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, where those words are inscribed, and reflected on what they meant today.
Lincoln justified the war which saw 600,000 Americans killed by fellow Americans because it renewed the promise that the United States, "conceived in liberty", would be "dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
Slavery was abolished, but the struggle for full civil rights continued for a century. Today, black and ethnic minorities in western countries are still disadvantaged. Millions of people live in countries where human rights are abused and democracy is denied.
Lincoln knew that equality had to be fought for. Kennedy said that the United States would "pay any price" to ensure the survival and success of liberty. I wonder if we still believe that today, and whether we truly honour or understand their words.

Cats can be quite the handful, but at the end of the day, it's always worth it.
They're always getting into something or another. Whether they're knocking a glass off of the table as they try to drink your water or digging through one of your potted plants making a mess of dirt, they're always up to no good!
If you have two cats, then you're in for double the trouble, but also most definitely double the love.
When these two sisters, Belle and Addie, got a little frisky, their parents were sure to catch it on camera to share with all of their fellow cat parents.
When Addie, the good girl, is called, she comes trotting along down the hallway.
Little does she know that her pesky sister, Belle, is lurking in the shadows ready to pounce and scare the living kibble out of her sister with a sneaky cat attack.
Even though Belle has done this time and time before, Addie still does not expect what's coming, and she hops so high up into the air. Her human parents burst out laughing uncontrollably when they see these two goofing around.
Do you have cats? Do they ever cause a raucous like these two cuties do? I know that my cats are definitely always doing their best to wreak havoc on my things and on each other.
Please SHARE these two sweeties with your family and friends on Facebook!

The past couple of years I've found compost variable and bordering on very poor from a number of different places ranging from stores to GC's, containing nails, plastic and bits of garden fences.
If there isn't a bag of compost already split, when buying bigger bags I ask to split the bag to check the contents. Me thinks, if the shop has confidence in their products, they should be happy to let you see what's inside. Only ever done it with the intention of buying at least 3 bags though and take my chances with grow bags, but now initially just buy one, if it's good quality go back and buy more.
Murphy's seems to be consistantly good.
I like Morrisons for plants, sounds like you got a bargin too
BB take a picture of the GH before dismantling from each side or draw on paper each side putting in where the metal frame is, it's easier to put back together then.
I'd be inclined to replace the nuts/bolts and clips, depending on age some may break and others could be rusted making for a weak structure when you rebuild.
Transporting the glass laid flat is tricky, glass should really be stood up, don't pile to many on top of each other and seperate each one with an old sheet. I broke quite a lot of panes because there were to many on each pile and buying individual sheets of glass to fit can work out as much as the cost of your GH. Mine was free, the glass cost £100, I ended up purchasing a pack, which was far to many but have spare panes now and have cut some of it in half to make cloches.
Good luck
Is all that security necessary and worth the cost for what you plan to store in there.
Took the words right out of my mouth Duncan and homebase or similar stores do a light wood book case, which when stained with the stuff you can paint fences with are ideal for putting trays of seedlings on, at a squeeze you can fit three trays on each shelf. Can't remember the cost but they are less than £30 may even by less than £20.
If you get the taller book case it can be sawn in half and the shelves then fit on your potting bench .
Thanks Duncan and a happy birthday to Mrs G on the 6th.
I made a raised bed and two gates for the allotment yesterday out of 2 pallets and still have 6 left for a compost area.
Good look with the project Garden girl. You might find the hardest part is breaking up the pallets, they don't come apart easy but were there's a will, there's a way
What a lot of replies Tracey...haven't had time to read them all but replying to your first Q, if the shell has been cracked in half for frying, baking etc I just rinse the two halves in water under the tap and put them in a plastic container in the kitchen, they dry in a few day's, them crunch up... when the container gets full, I put the lid on and store in shed ready for use.
For hard boiled eggs, providing it's just the skin and shell...that goes into the plastic container too...egg shells don't do your soil harm... it's good to recycle and adds small amounts of calcium. I tend to use shells just in pots though or the GH beds.
Would roundup be effective, I try to be as organic as I can and roundup was going to be an absolute last resort on two tree stumps at the bottom of the plot but their roots are alive and growing despite being cut down.
I can't answer your Q Suzy but does bindweed die back in winter leaving thin dead vines on tree's? I might have bindweed on an allotment just aquired.
I'm sure someone will be along soon to answer your Q, hopefully they'll be able to answer mine too...

Lutheran mission connections—Eurasia, Canada, Ukraine, Ethiopia
Today's global Lutheran mission community is expanding and increasingly interconnected.
President Robert Bugbee and mission executive Rev. Leonardo Neitzel of Lutheran Church—Canada invited Rev. Brent Smith, LCMS World Mission regional director for Eurasia, to Winnipeg to share learnings about LCC's mission work in the Ukraine and look for additional ways to work together in the region of Eurasia. After Brent preached at historic Immanuel Lutheran Church, Reverend Neitzel and Rev. Richard A Beinert of the LCC invited Brent to the worship service of Lutherans from Ethiopia. Pastor Beinert supervises one leader of the Ethiopian immigrants in the LCC's P.A.T. (Pastor's Alternate Training) program. Before moving to Winnipeg, many of the immigrants were members of the 5 million member church body, the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus—the largest Lutheran church body in Africa. A highlight of the afternoon of worship, food, and fellowship was the baptism by Pastor Beinert of the newest member of the congregation.
Give thanks to God for our partners in sharing the Gospel around the world!

Robert Robin
Skeleton regulator with Gregorian and Republican calendars
Brass, marble, steel
Height: 48 cm. Width at base: 35 cm. Depth at base: 16 cm
Main dial signed: Robin Gallerie du Louvre
Movement spring signed and dated: Monginot An 12 (1804)
Circa 1796 - 1799
Besides the hours, minutes and seconds, the main annular dial indicates the days of the week and their planetary signs with a double blued steel hand. Four other dials show, on the right, the Gregorian months and dates and, on the left, the Republican months and dates.
A green marble base supports the spring-driven movement which has a pin-wheel escapement and a gridiron pendulum, with a thermometer and a knife-edge suspension, beating half-seconds. The locking-plate striking-work sounds the hours and half-hours on a bell. The thermometer dial bears the inscription Elementa Suis Propriis Victa (the elements vanquished by their own arms).
The remarkable workmanship and aesthetic functionality of this regulator illustrate the level of perfection attained by great late-18th century Swiss and French horologists like A.-L. Breguet, J.A. L�pine, A. Janvier, F. Berthoud and R. Robin.

Here we are. The big one. The full-sized Snickers. The London Marathon.
Readers who enjoy pictures of me running with a massive smile on my face will get nothing. This is the grim bit of the inspirational film's training montage. To put it bluntly, I am utterly terrified about doing a marathon. All my worries have compressed into an exquisite diamond of discomfort. I wonder what on earth possessed me to think I might be capable of the training, let alone the race. Marathon runners are gilded lilies with wingèd trainers and halos of determination. Runners World magazine has gone mental with them. And how the fuck am I going to raise over £1650?
My increasingly dismal mood was put on hold by the 16-week training plan starting (16!). I went with Runkeeper due to my need to have an external force that I can use for stats and a sense of approval.
Week one schedule
Four mile easy run
4 mile easy run
4 mile easy run
8 mile steady run
Run 1
An amazing start! Wait, the opposite. The massive storms battering Camberwell and the rest of the UK put me off going out until Christmas Eve, at which point I tottered a new, and it turns out, rather dull circuit round Stockwell, Clapham North and Brixton. This run was basically a combination of guilt, disappointment and getting dramatically faster when I was nearly home.
Run 2
My parents arrived for Christmas, my first one in London since le tout Brown lived here 20+ years ago, and after the loveliest Christmas Eve in ages, during which both parents heroically decided to bond with the cat, I went out for my first Christmas Day run.
I don't care if the Son of God has arrived, how does ANYONE get up to go running when it's still dark? I did, and then sat in bed for a bit hoping the Light of the World would brighten up SE5. It did not. Eventually, I headed off to Brockwell Park. It was a bit bloody anticlimactic due to a) no snow b) no reindeer c) having idiotically left my trainers in my parents' room, thus necessitating bothering them, instead of leaving before they woke up to discover Father Christmas had visited them both for the first time since the 70s. Oh, and then I got back to discover the bloody garden wall had blown over which was a total thrill.
Happily and unsurprisingly, smoked salmon and Champagne in industrial quantities can just about salve anything.
Run 3
Eight miles. My brother got me a gorgeous Helly Hansen thermal baselayer for Christmas which has the longest sleeves and fits so nicely that I could happily wear it forever, or until banished to a washing machine. This was a lovely scenic route around Dulwich and Herne Hill that repeated the walk I had with my parents on Christmas Day when it seemed that every child under three in south London had been given a scooter. This time round, Dulwich Park was hysterically muddy, and I nearly fell over a spaniel.
I'd tried to dig out some gels, but still can't remember where I hid them from the cat when she decided to eat her way through some protein bars a nice PR sent over, so I took some leftover Celebrations. Always prepared. Less prepared was my brain – I couldn't run the whole thing. I can do it during a race, but I have developed a mind block that says "You're bored now. And a bit shit. Just walk for a bit."
Run 4
I'd swapped long and short run around due to a surprise trip to Oxfordshire to stay with my boyfriend's family. He and his brothers had mapped out four miles for me along the lines of "There is a hill. It's only quite large." and despite being incredibly frosty, and involving said hill, this was lovely.
It was a completely ravishing morning – full Narnian frost fields with a brilliant sun just rising enough to glimmer over the fields, and cast a purple glow over everything. The hill was steep but over fairly quickly, and on the way back I passed an extremely disconsolate bunch of teenagers who looked hungover to the eyeballs and were carrying sleeping bags and tents. Nice weather for it.
And then I got home to find a bath had been drawn for me, I realised I'd got through week one, and everything was fabulous. Now about those 15 other weeks…
PS: Cheered up immensely by fact this is my 69th blog post. Full-size Sniggers.
PPS: Obligatory 2013 round-up: got a cat, went to Canada, procrastinated and wrote minimally, panicked about life/universe/self, Elle Talent Competition finalist, fell in love, Christmas. YOU'RE WELCOME.

We have a dog. He's a cute little dog, the kind of dog you'd expect to see in a movie, trotting along beside his young owner down a dirt road, towards the old fishing hole. We suspect that he's a cross between a Jack Russell terrier and a Shih Tzu, leading us to smugly assert that we do indeed know Jack-Shih't.
This is our dog:
He was acquired back when Middle Child was this girl:
At the time, she was showing herself to be a very responsible young lady, babysitting, saving her money, making wise decisions in general. These days, not so much.
Middle Child has left the building, by the way. In the fall, she decided that there were greener pastures to be trodden over at her dad's house- I protested, and held out for quite awhile, but in the end she tortured me into letting her go. As she was preparing for the move, her brother asked her whether she intended to take the dog with her, and she gave him an emphatic NO. Dogs are too much trouble, too much work. (I could have told her that the same applies to teenaged girls, but I bit my tongue.)
Anyway, shortly after that conversation, she was grumbling about some dog related task she'd been asked to perform, and the Man asked her, "Do you remember when we GOT the dog, and you promised to be the best dog owner EVER, and always take care of him, and be responsible for him?"
She rolled her eyes, hard, and said, "I have taken that back SO MANY TIMES by now."
(Should I tell her there are no takesies backsies in pet ownership?)

An inspiring update from Vivi, 3 months on
Friday, February 1st, 2013 | Posted in Blog, Success stories
This week, we are thrilled to bring you a heartwarming update on little Vivi, aged 7. Vivi was recently awarded a grant from FTCT to fund a programme of rehabilitation exercises, following a major operation to treat spasticity in her lower limbs, caused by Cerebral Palsy.
Before the operation Vivi was reliant on a wheelchair for mobility, but just look at her now! Vivi is really embracing her new hobbies, horse riding, dancing and swimming, which, alongside her intensive physiotherapy sessions, are helping her muscles to 'relearn' basic motor skills such as walking.
Vivi's mum Helen, told FTCT, "She is becoming more mobile every day and she is as determined as ever … without the operation, there was not a chance to retrain her legs to do anything as they were locked, so she had no choices about her leg movements… Thank you so much for your continued support; we could not have come so far without our friends and supporters!"
We wish Vivi all the best of luck with her recovery and look forward to hearing more updates from Vivi's dance and swimming lessons, also funded as part of her rehabilitation process.
