We are really psyched to welcome a night fully curated by The Dog and Pony Show with a featured performance from Detroit producer Omar S. Come early for sets by Anthony Parasole and Phil Moffa!
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Anthony Parasole has had a lifelong love affair with electronic music. Listening to radio shows playing the early dance tracks from New York, Chicago, and Detroit really perked up his ears. His earliest experiences at the New York clubs and Storm Raves really blew his mind wide open. Not content to just be another party kid, Anthony began scouring the record stores for all of his favorite tracks. From the late-80's to the mid- 90's, Parasole was also huge into hip-hop. His engulfment in this gritty New York street-music is an influence on his style to this day.
From 2003 to 2006, Anthony was a buyer at the Halcyon record store. Through Halcyon, a real pillar of the scene in NYC, Parasole made many contacts, and of course, multiplied the size of his record collection by carefully selecting all the best records from the store. He threw the New Jack City party at APT with his co-workers at Halcyon, bringing in The Martinez Brothers for the first NYC gig, Slam Mode, MkL, Adultnapper, Nick Chacona, Todd Sines, Brennan Green, and many more. This party really increased Anthony's exposure in New York, and led to many gigs at bigger clubs, including opening slots for Derrick May, Cajmere, and Layo and Bushwacka.
2008 was a great year for Anthony. He launched the Deconstruct record label with Levon Vincent. DEC-001 by Levon Vincent sold out in one week, and immediately put the label on the map, being charted by Marcel Dettmann, Shed, and Jan Krueger. Hardwax and other influential stores are clamoring for more! Parasole also founded the House-N-Home loft series with partner Bryan Kasenic. They've already thrown successful parties with Jus-Ed, Brothers' Vibe, DJ Qu, Fred P, and Adultnapper, and will play host to Move D and other artists from the cutting edge of house music in 2009.
In 2009, Anthony will be opening for Cassy at Made Events' new Save The Cannibals party on Valentine's Day. He also hopes to release some of his original productions on Jus Ed's Underground Quality label and Levon Vincent's Novel Sound imprint.

By J. Brock (FINN)
The next stage of development for the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Bill and the Crimes Bill began with the Bills being placed in the Gazette on the 15th August 2014. The Bills are intended to overhaul and to modernise the criminal justice system in the Falkland Islands and are part of the Falkland Islands Government's on-going commitment to improve laws in the Islands. Known collectively as the Criminal Justice Bills, the two Draft Bills will be put before the Legislative Assembly on 28th August, where it is expected that MLA Roger Edwards, Portfolio Holder for Legal Services, will put forth a Motion for the Criminal Justice Bills to move to Select Committee. Should the Motion be accepted by the House, it is anticipated that the Select Committee process will be begin on 4th September 2014 and run for ten sessions concluding on 3rd October 2014.
As part of the process to develop and review the Bills prior to them being formalised into law, the Attorney General's Chambers are keen to hear the views of the public regarding the proposals. A Public Meeting will be held at Fox Bay in the morning of Friday 29th August and another in Stanley on Monday 1st September. All are welcome to attend these meetings and discuss the Bills and what they will mean for the Islands. A separate focus group session with key stakeholders will also be scheduled at a date to be confirmed.
Carefully designed and considered to protect the sense of community in the Falkland Islands, the Criminal Justice Bills have been and to reflect the needs and values of our community, and these improvements to the law are part of a larger, sustained programme of work and investment to revise and update legislation in the Islands. The Crimes Bill will bring our laws up-to-date against best practice internationally, and whilst it draws from established United Kingdom laws, the Bill has been prepared in a way that reflects the needs of the Falkland Islands, rather than simply lifting legislation from elsewhere. The Bill will consolidate the majority of existing criminal law in the Islands, and should be a comprehensive piece of legislation that is easier for the community and for legal advisers to access and understand.
The Criminal Procedure & Evidence Bill will become a full body of law for the Islands, covering every step of the process from first investigation.
Digital copies of the Criminal Justice Bills are available on request from the Attorney General's Chambers but please be mindful that the documents are in excess of 1,500 pages long. Alternatively, a hard copy is available for viewing only at the Public Library.
If any members of the public would like to comment or make suggestions relating to the new Bills, please could they be returned in writing to Gillian Curl, Attorney General's Chambers, Stanley or firstname.lastname@example.com on or before 17th September 2014.
For further information regarding this press statement, please contact the PR & Media Office on +500 27400. To request a copy of the proposed Select Committee schedule, or a copy of the Criminal Justice Bills briefing note, please email email@example.com

Federal officials have shut down a New York poultry processing plant because of food safety issues.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture isn't releasing details about why it ordered Murray's Chicken to stop processing at its South Fallsburg plant in Sullivan County. A company official says its products are safe, but Murray's has been told to fix what he described as "facility issues."
While regulators allowed shipment of chicken packaged Monday, the plant was closed Tuesday. That idled about 350 workers who process 35,000 chickens a day at the plant.
The agriculture department had previously warned Murray's about concern over the aging plant's capacity to control contaminants like salmonella.
Murray's, which is marketed as "family farmed and naturally raised," is widely available in New York City grocery stores.
Steve Gold, Murray's vice president of sales and marketing, said the plant passed a test for salmonella on July 23.

pmbw is a set of assembler routines to measure the parallel memory (cache and RAM) bandwidth of modern multi-core machines. Memory bandwidth is one of the key performance factors of any computer system. Today, measuring the memory performance often gives a more realistic view of the overall speed of a machine than pure arithmetic or floating-point benchmarks. pmbw contains a set of very basic functions which are all hand-coded in assembler to avoid any compiler optimizations. These basic functions are modeled after the basic inner loops found in any data processing, sequential scanning and pure random access. Any application will have a memory access pattern which is somewhere between these two extremes. The current version of pmbw supports benchmarking 16-, 32-, 64-, 128-, or 256-bit memory transfers on x86_32-bit, x86_64-bit, and ARMv6 systems.
sdb is a really simple program to benchmark disks. It only writes/reads data sequentially to/from a file and calculates the performance of this action. A memory buffer is used for input/output to get values close to the real performance of the disk or RAID system. You can use flags like O_DIRECT and O_SYNC to avoid buffering by the operating system. It is similar to dd, but there are some differences, since dd was not created for benchmarking a disk. It is possible to initialize the buffer with random values before writing them to the disk or a file on the disk. It is a simple but effective program to get the maximum speed of a disk. Due to the simplicity, you will get the results much faster than with a more complex benchmark.
MPIBurn is an MPI unicast benchmark. Modern inter-connect hardware handles broadcast messages with a different algorithm than that used for unicast messages. Just benchmarking broadcasts or N to N+1 messaging may not detect inter-connect malfunctions, so MPIBurn benchmarks any possible unicast connection while assuring to involve as many connections in parallel as possible. After each round, the peers are scrambled to ensure that the next round has completely different connection groups.
A decentralised packaging system.
Small Unix networking tools.

Running at the right rhythm
no nonsense needing attention;
Doing a dance though the day
ferociously fast It's flying!
Built to be a busy bee,
waking wanting to be working;
Perfectly productive
taking advantage of the time;
Running at the right rhythm
Coveting each click of the clock

….. . .. .. . . .
With petite purple pansies in her long and luscious locks
Carly cleaned , creased , and darned her dirty, smelly socks,
Her clover colored dress twirled around her fancy feet
As apple –printed apron looked goody good enough to eat,
With newly laundered laundry, billowing brightly in the breeze
Oh, stray seeds from Carly's socks, made her suddenly sneeze.

What are dashes doing...
Elipsis dominating...
Spaces manifesting...
What's the reason
The pause in ma words
Slowness in "songs"
Distortion in grooves
Sometimes ma mood...
That's a clue
I'll finish it later
Em..what's that letter
Words misplaced
Or even displaced
What's next in line?
Okay I'll find a nice rhyme
What's that word?
Or is it "odd"?
Oh this is odd!
Where are words!
This tank I call ma skull
Is nought.. full of nought!
Cut! It hurts!
What a blank hut!

My bed is anxious,waiting for my snores
Today's going to bed, tomorrow's a few steps ahead
I wonder why I took "the" pen
I feel like putting them down
My thoughts
What am I inking?
Just wanna scratch my itchy paper with my juicy ink
Singers? Go sing...
Comedians? Go do comedy...
Others? What's your "itchy paper?"
Have you applied your "ink?"
Be good at what you do
Love what you do
Go scratch it!

I sold my soul to the bottom of the beer bottle. So what if I want to wallow around
with this low self mentality . A sip here a sip there, why not sip everywhere ...you
You see, you really don't care when you have the mentality to wallow in the hallow
of a bottle.
I sold my soul to the bottom of the beer bottle;burning out the aching pain that
causes me to be insane with so much shame.
Boy,the bottom of the beer bottle isn't where I really want to be?You see the
bottom of the beer bottle did not bother me; but now ,it's really affecting me.
Ican't eat sometimes I can't even sleep,because the bottom of the beer bottle is
calling me.It's really beating my body.How can I ever benefit when the bottom of
the beer bottle is calling me?How could this ever happen to me?
When I used to win and grin, beating the bottle;what I once to beat is now beating
me and my body.The bottom of the beer bottle is calling me.
Idrink it waking up and drink it lying down.The bottom of the beer bottle has a tight
hold on me.The bottom of the beer bottle is calling me.

Or is it really love?!

I know my weaknesses
and I despise them,
especially my inability
to react
to those bastards
who sought to destroy
my fragility
This is a fact
To walk away?
A sign of cowardice?
or strength?
To draw deep,
before my courage begins to seep
Why can't I retaliate?
This paralyzing state
My lack of confrontation
My weakness
These things that grate,
the things I hate,
in my self
This force within
be my guide
Confront my reality
for I have tried,
this spirituality
for I do want to win
It is a hard thing...
to find.........
Courage to bring,
what you left behind,
what you have tried........
Be my guide
To lift one's head,
release the clench from your heart
Ignore what is said
Before you start
You know I have tried...............
Be my guide
These limited people too.............
how mean and small............
their lives are,
and what they do
The names they call
They just want you...........
to fail
These limited people fail
So personally inside
So miserably outside
They have no guide,
for often they have tried,
to take my guide,
on my lifes' trail
These people have tried
How small!
When they know,
you walk tall,
and you have a guide

I don't know where I'm going
I only know where I've been
I know what I was taught
I know that we have sinned
Don't get caught up in this masquerade
They will take 'til you can't give
They will look you straight in the eye
And tell you how to live
This place that we call honest
Is the place we can't forget
They teach to live forgiveness
Yet they persecute to the end
We look down on others
For their restrictive ways
What good is that developing land
Yet we sell our soul to get paid
We look down on others
Can't they figure it out
But we sit here under dictator
Only we can't throw him out
We should all run
We should all hide
We can save ourselves from this time
Why can't we all run
A place that they can't find
So our dreams are truly ours tonight

SAN DIEGO—Rusty Filter has worn a San Diego State uniform virtually his entire adult life, so it is difficult to imagine him wearing anything else.
With that in mind, Filter will likely be as shocked as anyone the first time he pulls on a jersey with Stanford printed across the front.
Filter, the longtime SDSU pitching coach, accepted an offer Tuesday to be the pitching coach for the Cardinal, ending an association with SDSU that dates back nearly a quarter century.
Filter was a pitcher and catcher for the Aztecs during a four-year career from 1987-90. He began coaching at SDSU in 1991 with the Aztecs junior varsity and joined the varsity coaching staff two years later.
"It was an extremely hard decision for me and my family," said Filter, who is married and has three children. "I felt like it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up."
Filter has passed up other coaching offers through the years, but he does have head coaching aspirations and this seems to be a logical step in that direction. Filter's stock couldn't be higher after mentoring college Player of the Year Stephen Strasburg, so this also seemed the right time to make the move.
"It's another step I've got to take in my career," said Filter, who cited Stanford's baseball tradition, academic excellence and proximity to family (his wife grew up in Northern California and still has several relatives there) among his considerations for leaving.
SDSU head coach Tony Gwynn said he suspected something like this might happen.
"I wasn't surprised, honestly," Gwynn said by phone Tuesday night from Milwaukee, where he was part of the Padres broadcast team. "You knew after a year like we had that he was going to have some opportunities. It was a great offer (from Stanford). I totally get it. He wants to be a head coach someday."
Gwynn said the consistency shown by the SDSU pitching staff through the years was testament to Filter's guidance.
"One thing you could always count on is we were going to pitch, and Rusty was a big part of that," Gwynn said. "It's tough because we finally have the program headed in the direction we want to go.
"We wish him well. Rusty is going to Stanford, but he will always be an Aztec . . . Now we have to move on."
At Stanford, Filter joins one of the most successful programs in the nation. The Cardinal has won two national championships and made 14 appearances at the College World Series over the past 28 years.
But Filter also leaves quite a legacy at SDSU. Nearly 60 pitchers have been drafted off the Aztecs' roster during Filter's tenure. More than a dozen of them have risen to the upper levels of professional baseball, including current major leaguers Justin Masterson, Aaron Harang and Alex Hinshaw.
The foundation is there for more SDSU pitchers to follow.
"We've worked extremely hard and the program is headed in the right direction," Filter said. "The pitching staff is going to be very good next season and the recruiting class is strong. They're in good shape."
Filter, officially listed as associate head for the Aztecs, handled a variety of duties with the program, most notably as pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. SDSU assistant coach Mark Martinez also is heavily involved with recruiting, which will soften some of the impact.
Calls and e-mails already were beginning to pour in to Filter as word of his departure began to filter out.
Strasburg was among those to acknowledge how Filter will be missed.
"It's a sad day in the Aztec baseball program," Strasburg wrote on his Facebook page.

Ever since my church moved to Malaga mid last year, I have been able to explore surrounding restaurants in the northern suburbs more frequently. I had since discovered a concentrated population of Vietnamese restaurants in suburbs such as Girrawheen, including shops that sell the beloved Bahn Mi and fresh sugar cane drink, and also the markets/restaurants at the Coventry in Morley.
Another discovery I'd made is dimsum in the 'burbs, in particular three Chinese restaurants serving dimsum that are located in close proximity to one another in Morley, being the Silver Seas Chinese Garden, Joyful Chinese Restaurant and Wang's Treasure House. I have managed to sample all three just to see how good they are. For a review of the Silver Seas Chinese Garden, click here. A review of Wang's Treasure House will be coming soon 🙂
Joyful Chinese Restaurant is located on Progress Street in Morley, close to the Galleria Shopping Centre and the Coventry Markets. Ample free parking is available which is a good change to finding parking in Northbridge (paid parking as well I might add). It is a small restaurant in comparison so waiting for a table is unavoidable, more so when it is dimsum hour! The restaurant was full on the Sunday we were there but we didn't have to wait long before being seated.
Service in Joyful Chinese Restaurant was quite good, the staff was friendly and prompt, and very accommodating to our numerous requests especially for the hot water to be topped up without making a face. [Hands up who had experienced a grumpy staff making a face at you when you ask for things – very off putting to say the least!]
Here are a few dishes we had, there were: Beancurd Roll / BBQ Pork Buns / Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab / Xiao Long Bao / Egg Tarts / Seaweed Roll / Prawn Dumplings / Pork Dumplings
My favorite for the day is the Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab, can't go past the crunchy goodness! The crab pieces were meaty and moist and I especially like the salt and pepper seasoning on them. I also liked the Egg Tarts with the flaky pastry and the Pork Dumplings, decent sized with a soft outer case, and most importantly of all, no pork smell!
Overall I thought it was a good dimsum lunch. The only minor qualm I would have is the variety of dimsum available which is of the usual kind, there was nothing new or different to try which I always look out for. Joyful Chinese Restaurant is a convenient place for those not wanting to go into the city for dimsum!

For the first 16 minutes on Friday night's Section III Class AA boys' basketball quarterfinal final, West Genesee, fresh off an upset win over Rome Free Academy in the first round, was able to force defending champion Henninger out of its comfort zone.
The no. 10 seed Wildcats, though, ran out of fuel in the end, as the No. 2 Black Knights advanced with a 72-51 win thanks to stellar paint play from senior forward Marquies Young in the fourth quarter.
"We weren't too focused in the beginning," said Young, who scored 11 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter. "As the game went on, we came together and played like we know how to play, did what we're supposed to do."
Right out of the gate, the Black Knights pressed incessantly, forcing a few early turnovers. Henninger guard Tevin Chisholm hit a buzzer-beating floater in the first to give the Knights a 15-6 advantage heading into the next frame. During the span and for most of the game, though, the Wildcats were able to force the Knights out of the paint with a stifling zone defense, forcing long-range jumpers.
Unfortunately for WG, Henninger was on-point from long distance, nailing 10 3-pointers on the game.
"We did exactly what we set out to do," Wildcats coach Fred Kent said. "They're bigger and faster and we didn't want to get beat down low. But when a team is shooting like that it makes it really hard to win."
It was a bittersweet loss for the Wildcats (8-11), a team that started the year 5-2 before collapsing for six straight losses. Kent said it was a pleasant late-season turnaround to kill the slump, and that the Wildcats came into Henninger's home court "expecting" to win.
And it was the definition of a team effort for the Knights, who had four players score in double figures led by Chisholm's game-high 18. Keith Tyson II and Kavon Delee chipped in with 11 and 10 points, respectively.
If you ask Henninger coach Erik Saroney, in his 10th season at the helm, he'll tell you the offense was stellar, but the lifeblood for Black Knights is and always has been defense.
"Yes, we shot very well," he said. "But you have to give a lot of credit to West Genesee because they completely took us out of our game for most of it. The fact is that we made shots [Friday], but it was still our defense that won this."
Kent was on-board.
"It's not that they press, it's that they show so many different styles of the press," Kent said. "The guys couldn't get into any sort of offensive rhythm because of that."
It seemed Henninger was going to break the game open early in the second half thanks to the momentum gained by Tyson's 3-pointer right as the buzzer sounded for halftime, sending the Knights to the break with a 27-20 advantage.
Henninger opened the third on a 10-2 run highlighted by Delee's seven points as the Knights pulled ahead 37-22.
To the Wildcats' credit, scrapiness allowed them to hang within shooting distance of Henninger until midway through the fourth. Young took over and the Knights' athleticism, size and strength prevailed in the end.
Trevor Smith paced the Wildcats with 14 points on two 3-pointers while Scott Sidnam chipped in with 10. Michael Henry and Patrick Patnode added eight apiece.
Henninger was the only city team in Class AA to make it out of the first week. Corcoran, the no. 9 seed, lost to CBA 56-43 in the first round, while Nottingham, the no. 6 seed, handled Watertown 82-39, but lost in the quarterfinals to no. 3 seed Fayetteville-Manlius 66-54.
And Henninger will play F-M in the Class AA semifinals, the winner to get Utica Proctor or Cicero-North Syracuse March 4 in the title game at the Carrier Dome.

'Preachin' the Blues': the life and times of enigmatic bluesman Son House
Daniel Beaumont's new biography "Preachin' the Blues; The Life & Times of Son House" tells the colorful story of one of the most mysterious and influential of all America's blues musicians. Beaumont discusses his book Thursday at Seattle's University Book Store.
Special to The Seattle Times
Daniel BeaumontThe author of "Preachin' the Blues: The Life & Times of Son House" will discuss his book at 7 p.m. Thursday at University Book Store, 4326 University Way N. E., Seattle; free (206-634-3400 or www.ubookstore.com).
In June of 1964, three white blues fans drove to Rochester, N.Y., and knocked on a door, hoping to find a lead in their quest to track down a blues legend. They'd already searched the Mississippi Delta, but had gotten a tip that their quarry had gone north seeking work, following a migration taken by many African Americans in that era.
They knocked and asked if the occupant knew where they might find Son House. The man replied, "This is him." The young men were astounded: Son House, considered one of the greatest blues players, had been missing for two decades, and they hadn't been certain he was alive.
It is this meeting that begins Daniel Beaumont's powerful biography of House, "Preachin' the Blues; The Life & Times of Son House" (Oxford University Press, 206 pp., $24.95). Beaumont is a Seattle native and a graduate of the University of Washington who teaches at the University of Rochester. Many histories written by professors sag under the weight of sociological details, but this narrative is gripping. At times it resembles a detective novel, as the author seeks details on the shadowy House.
Son House was one of the most seminal figures in American-roots music, and his history is full of archetypes that define the blues. With his recordings of "Preachin' the Blues" and "Death House Letter," House created a legacy, but he also was Robert Johnson's guitar teacher and influenced Muddy Waters.
House was born in Mississippi in 1902. Around the time he discovered the guitar, House began working as a preacher. Those two pulls — the Saturday-night women and booze, and the Sunday pulpit — became the dominant forces in his songwriting. House couldn't quite quit preaching because it paid better than music — "He really could sing, and he really could preach," one friend observed. Finally his boozing resulted in his ejection from his church — like many of the details of House's life, the exact story, and timing, is a matter of debate.
We do know that House was convicted of murder. He spent a term at Mississippi's infamous Parchman Prison Farms for the crime, but no one knows exactly how long (records for many African Americans in the South in this era were scarce). What is clear, and a point Beaumont emphasizes, is that the brutality House faced at Parchman became part of his oeuvre, showing up in "Country Farm Blues."
House was released from Parchman less than two years later. It was a pattern — of murder, and quick release — that helped create a cycle of violence in the South. In one of his rare interviews in his later years, after his discovery in Rochester gave a second act to his career, House explained it this way: "They put him in jail, (then) the white man would get in his car, and go down there and tell them, 'I need him.' Put in a good word for him."
The killing floors of the juke joints are colorfully painted by Beaumont, but his book most comes alive in the telling of the 1930 Grafton recording sessions where House cut his first recorded songs. "Preachin' the Blues" achieves what any music biographer most aspires to: It makes a reader want to seek out the music it describes. And even in an iTunes age, when Son House's "Levee Camp Moan" can be found with a click instead of a drive to Rochester, it's still a journey with rich rewards.
Seattle writer Charles R. Cross is the author of biographies of Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain.

Cloud storage provider Box.net is unveiling a new set of code libraries that will let app developers quickly embed the company's storage and collaboration tools into their apps, the company announced today.
"We have 40 developers building that back-end stack, and people want to be able to deploy that instantly into their applications," said Aaron Levie, chief executive of Box.net. "Developers don't want to have to manage the user management, the access controls and the storage — they want to be able to write on top of a layer."
The company hired Chris Yeh (pictured right), who was the product head for Yahoo Groups, Delicious, Contacts and several other social programs at Yahoo! Before taking over the social programs, he was the head of developer relations for Yahoo. The company is doubling down on developer relations because it wants to be a provider of back-end storage software that any developer can add to an app, Levie said.
Box.net is also launching a developer contest that challenges mobile app developers to write an enterprise application that uses Box.net's storage and collaboration tools. The winners will be announced at the company's first conference, which will be held in September. Again, the company was trying to promote the idea of using Box.net as a back-end provider of storage tools that developers can use for their enterprise apps.
That seems like it's the direction the company is headed. One of the company's larger real estate clients built a customer relationship management (CRM) application from scratch using Box.net as the back-end storage and collaboration component, Levie said. Most companies opt to license CRM software from companies like Salesforce.com.
"The core focus of Box is really to be an open platform," he said.
(Normally I'm against companies using the term "platform" because it's overused and misunderstood. But in this case it's the right context.)
Box.net currently has 6 million users. Some 60,000 businesses employ its cloud-storage software, including 73 percent of Fortune 500 companies. That figure is up from around 66 percent in February. It raised $48 million in its most recent round of funding. Box.net is also expanding to a new office in the next several weeks.
As of January, the Box.net iPad application had been downloaded more than 250,000 times. The company launched its Android application in the fourth quarter of 2010 and already has 70,000 downloads. Box.net is working with Samsung specifically to further develop its application on Android tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Arsenal may be looking to loan deals this January however the club are ready to invest heavily during the summer to help bridge the gap between themselves and the dominant Manchester sides.
The North London side are looking for a striker and possible left sided defender in January with many touting former legend Thierry Henry as a possible signing, albeit for just two months. The summer though will see Wenger's side look to bring three quality players which could cost Arsenal just over £42m.
Lukas Podolski tops their wish list with the club ready to offer Cologne a tempting £15m once the main transfer window opens. They are also keeping a close eye on Fiorentina's Juan Manuel Vargas. The tricky left footer is coming to the end of his agreement in Serie A and was a rumoured target of Aston Villa last summer. Although at the age of 28 he would not appear the type of age Wenger would try to bring in, his versatility has been mentioned as a key reason for bringing him to North London for little more than a signing on fee. Arsenal do run the risk of leaving it late though with the Italian side looking to cash in on him this January.
Yoann Gourcuff completes the wishlist with the Frenchman having always been a player admired by Arsene Wenger and would cost the club close to £15m.

Boxing Day hunt tradition continues
Thousands of people turned out to take part in and cheer on traditional Boxing Day hunts.
The Albrighton Hunt was tinged with sadness after Huntsman Ray Shaw's death.
Mr Shaw, who was in his mid-40s and had been employed by the Albrighton Hunt for two-and-a-half years, was responsible for getting the hounds and horses ready for hunt meetings.
He was found dead at his home in Kennels Lane, Albrighton, earlier this month.
The hunt met at The Royal Victoria Hotel, Newport, Shropshire, and brought about 3,000 onlookers who saw more than 50 riders take part.
Hunt secretary Julian Hill said that collection was held at the Boxing Day hunt for both Cancer Research and Mr Shaw's family and added: "Ray was on all our minds on Boxing Day."
It emerged today that the Tory party has backed down on a manifesto pledge to hold a vote on whether or not to overturn the ban on hunting foxes with dogs.
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson indicated that there were no immediate plans to bring the issue back to Parliament and the Tory party chairman Grant Shapps has defended the decision saying that it did not make sense to hold the vote when the majority of MPs were known to be in favour of keeping the ban.
Other hunts taking place in the region yesterday included the Albrighton Woodland Hunt, which started at Hagley Park, near Stourbridge, and the North Shropshire Hunt which met at the Albrighton Hall Hotel, near Shrewsbury.

As controversial show "Bigg Boss 9" comes to an end on 23 January, viewers are anxiously waiting to see who among the four remaining contestants — Prince Narula, Mandana Karimi, Rishabh Sinha and Rochelle Rao — will win the game.
However, it looks like viewers want Prince to emerge as the winner of the show.
IBTimes India conducted a poll asking viewers who should win "Bigg Boss 9". Majority of the respondents said they want Prince to be the winner. Prince received the highest number of votes, followed by Rishabh, Mandana and Rochelle.
Going by the result, it appears like viewers love Prince the most and want to see him winning the reality show.
Meanwhile, the buzz is that one of the four contestants will be eliminated from the show on Saturday morning, just before the finale. And with Rochelle receiving the lowest number of votes in the poll, it won't come as a surprise if she gets evicted from the show.
In other news, "Bigg Boss 9" finale will be a grand affair and will see the presence of several celebs. Katrina Kaif will attend the grand finale along with her "Fitoor" co-star Aditya Roy Kapur. Others who will add charm to "Bigg Boss 9" grand finale are Mouni Roy of Colors' popular show "Naagin", Siddharth Nigam of "Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat" and Jigyasa Singh of "Thapki Pyar Ki".
The cast of "Comedy Nights Bachao", including Bharti Singh, will also grace the finale to entertain viewers with their funny antics.

Player of the Game:
Let's go ahead and get this over with up front: Joakim Noah owned this game.
Noah usually performs well against the Celtics and openly dislikes Boston's Kevin Garnett. He also hates losing — which the Bulls did on Tuesday night in Memphis — so maybe he was playing with an extra edge.
Whatever the case, Jo had his most complete game of the season and submitted his second career triple-double with 13 rebounds, 11 points and 10 assists. Noah shot 4-for-7 from the field and went 3-for-3 from the line. He also had 3 blocked shots and a steal while playing his usual iron clad defense.
Noah's passing was the key to the game…and it was contagious. After Noah set the tone, the ball was whipping around in rapid succession as the Bulls repeatedly found the open man. Chicago finished with 28 assists on 37 made field goals.
Said Noah: "I always tell everybody I'm a point center anyway. I always feel like I could pass the ball. I feel more comfortable with the offense, and we have a lot of people who can score the ball in different ways. [Luol Deng] is a great cutter, Carlos [Boozer] catches almost any pass. I can throw it almost anywhere and he'll catch it. I think it was a great team effort and we just got to keep it going."
Added Boozer: "[Noah] was amazing, man," Boozer said. "Great passer. He's probably the best passing big man in the league. Underrated, plays hard and got great court vision. Honestly, he's like a point forward for us because we run a lot of plays through him to get other guys shots. You see how efficient he is, we did a good job of getting shots for him. But every game he's getting five, six assists. Tonight was just an awesome night where he ended up getting a triple-double, but he'll have a lot more games like that in this system because a lot of our stuff runs through Jo, especially with D. Rose being out."
Although he's not rebounding as well nor playing quite as efficiently as last season, Noah is still making a pretty strong case for making his very first All-Star team this season.
The Good:
Chicago's D held Boston's O to 89 points on 43.2 percent shooting. That's pretty good. And the final score would have been even more lopsided if the Bulls hadn't pulled back on the throttle and allowed the Celtics to go on a 10-0 run in the final 2:50. But by that point the outcome was decided and there was little point in turning the screws any further.
Rajon Rondo had a whopper of a game (26 points, 9-for-18, 8 assists), and Courtney Lee (7-for-11), Garnett (5-for-10) and Paul Pierce (6-for-10) all shot reasonably well. But Garnett, Lee and Pierce combined for only four free throw attempts and never really imposed their wills on the game.
Boston's bench did next to nothing. They scored 16 points but shot 5-for-23 from the field.
The Better:
The Celtics have been one of the league's best defensive teams ever since acquiring Garnett from the Minnesota Timberwolves before the 2007-2008 season. Or maybe I should say had been one of the best defensive teams in the league. They aren't now. Their Defensive Efficiency of 101.7 points allowed per 100 possessions ranks them 12th. That's closer to the middle of the pack than the top of the hill.
Maybe that explains why — despite playing on the second night of back-to-back games following a true offensive nightmare against the Grizzlies — the Bulls enjoyed an offensive explosion.
Scoring 100 points may not seem that impressive, but the game was played at a slow pace. Adjusting for that, the Bulls were scoring at a rate of 119 points per 100 possessions. That's a pretty efficient offensive outing.
They did it by shooting 50 percent from the field (37-for-74), 55.6 percent from three-point range (5-for-9) and 87.5 percent from the free throw line (21-for-24). And as if that wasn't enough, they scored 16 second-chance points off 13 offensive rebounds.
Obviously, it helped that the Celtics aren't a crack defensive team, but the Bulls were especially aggressive in attacking the basket, especially Luol Deng and Marco Belinelli. In all, Chicago got 30 shot attempts at the rim, converting 23 of them (76.7). And many of their free throws were the result of spirited forays into the paint.
Boston's interior defense was terrible. They either gave up layups or hacked. Deng was 3-for-3 at the rim and earned 12 free throws. Carlos Boozer was 7-for-9 under the hoop. Taj Gibson was 4-for-4. Noah was 3-for-4. Belinelli was 3-for-5 at the rim and 4-for-4 at the line.
Honestly, I was stunned how easily Belinelli was beating his defender off the dribble. I'm guess Boston coach Doc Rivers was too.
Attacking the rim, not settling for contested jumpers, establishing good spacing and moving the basketball…that's what the Bulls do when they're at their best. And that's what they did last night.
Deng Ends His Slump:
The world at large seems to have reached the point where Deng is no longer judged by how many points he scores or how well he shoots. It's his all around effort and presence that matters.
That said, Lu entered last night's game in the midst of a serious shooting slump.
Over his previous six games, Deng had gone 41-for-101 from the field (40.5 percent) and 3-for-15 from downtown (20 percent).
Deng busted his slump the old-fashioned way: He stopped setting for long jump shots. Deng didn't attempt a single three-pointer. He launched only three shot attempts from 16-23 feet. The rest of his field goal attempts came inside 15 feet. And of course he got those 12 free throw attempts by attacking the basket.
In all, Deng tallied 21 points by shooting 5-for-9 from the field and 11-for-12 at the line.
Explosive Bench Play:
The Bulls bench was embarrassingly outplayed in Memphis. The reverse was the case against the Celtics.
Nate Robinson played like a man possessed — even for him — and erupted for 18 points in 13 minutes. He was insanely hot from deep, going 5-for-7 from beyond the arc. He hit open threes, contested threes, and one three that was about five feet behind the line as the shot clock was ticking down.
In point of fact, it was Robinson's three-point shooting that turned this game into a rout during the fourth quarter. And there was one especially telling sequence that I believe epitomizes all the good things Robinson brings to the team. With 4:11 left in the game and the Bulls already leading 96-79, Robinson got fouled on an attacking drive. He hit the first free throw and missed the second…but retrieved the miss and hit a layup. He never stops hustling.
Little Nate also contributed 4 assists and 3 rebounds.
Then there was Taj Gibson. Gibson's defense has remained elite, but he's regressed in almost every other phase of the game this season. This has to be troubling for the Bulls front office, considering the not-so-secret plan seems to have been to amnesty Boozer's contract in the next year or so to free up cap room. That means Taj is the Power Forward of the future.
But he's been struggling. No question about it.
Last night was a return to form: 20 minutes, 6-for-9 from the field, 1-for-1 from the line, 13 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and a plus-minus score of +14.
And Jimmy Butler continued his quietly impressive play with 6 points (3-for-6), 2 boards and a steal in 14 minutes. His raw numbers may not impress, but his defense, energy and hustle do. He may not compile gaudy stats, but he does all the little things that help a team win.
Another Double-Double:
Boozer played only 23 minutes, but he made the most of his PT, scoring 21 points on 10-for-17 shooting to go with 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocked shots and a steal.
Boozer now has 12 double-doubles in the last 17 games.
And here's a weird Carlos Boozer factoid for you: Booz ranks second on the team and eighth in the league…in Defensive Win Shares with 1.5. Noah leads the league with 2.0.
Of course, Carlos was the only Bulls player who finished the night with a negative plus-minus score (-6). Always a bad sign in a blowout win.
Quote of the Night:
Robinson said: "The last couple games I really haven't been shooting the ball well. I just told myself I had to go back to my whole Peter Pan theory. You can't fly without happy thoughts."
No More Finger Guns:
In case you hadn't noticed, Noah has stopped doing his finger gun act after hitting a jumper. ESPNChicago's Nick Friedell has the full story.
Said Noah: "I started doing it in practice. I hit a jump shot in Keith Bogans' face and I started doing (it) and kept doing it and it was kind of a funny, comical thing, but I guess we're in a situation right now where it's not funny.
"You can't joke around with things like that. Too many people are dying because of guns. We have a problem here with guns, so (I'm) just trying to be a little bit compassionate about what's going on. You can't joke around — it's not a laughing matter anymore.
"I think it's what happened in Connecticut that was really shocking to a lot of people but things like that have been going on. We have a serious problem with that in Chicago. It's crazy, man. You just hear about … the summer and the movie theater (in Aurora, Colo.); it's happening all the time. This is just unheard of. Every story is just horrific. It's just not a joke. This gun thing in this country is no joke.
"I think after the thing happened in Connecticut somebody said something and I had never really thought about it like that. And then when somebody said it, it made me a little bit conscious about it. Just try to be compassionate to those who were affected."

10 Things We Say About Friends' Bad Engagements & What We REALLY Mean
10 Things We Say About Friends' Bad Engagements & What We REALLY Mean
Have you ever had a friend get engaged, and for whatever reason, you were less than thrilled? Maybe you didn't like the guy, or thought she was rushing into it, or maybe even you were jealous … but of course you're not going to say that. So you say something else, while trying not to lie.
How to politely react to your friend's terrible engagement is such a universal girl problem that SNL's Sasheer Zamata made a hilarious video about how to do it right. You know -- focus on minor details, just squeal a lot, and state facts like, "You're engaged!"
Anyway, we asked women for real examples of their less than forthright reactions to their engagement announcements that they were less than thrilled about, and it seems like everyone has a story to tell about friend making a bad decision in the matrimony department.
Here are 10 real life reactions to news about a terrible engagement, and what they were really thinking.
What she said: A small intimate proposal when you woke up in the morning?! How sweet!
What she meant: Man, it must suck knowing he didn't put any thought into this.
What she said: OMG!! Really?
What she meant: WTF, are you thinking?
What she said: Your fiancé is so hot!
What she meant: He is too hot for you. He is definitely going to cheat on you. Something weird going on here. Maybe he needs a green card.
What she said: Oh wow, that's so soon! You guys just can't wait to start your life together! I'm so happy for you!
What she meant: You're pregnant and everyone knows it.
What she said: Ahhhh!!!!!
What she meant: Shit, I am stuck with this creep for life!
What she said: Congrats, I'm so happy for you!
What she meant: Well, it's about damn time.
What she said: What a unique ring.
What she meant: That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
What she said: Wow, congrats.
What she meant: Uhm, didn't you just get married 6 months ago ... and now you're marrying the best man? Well, at least I know now why you kept blowing me off every time I told you I was interested in him.
What she said: Congrats!
What she meant: Are you high?
What she said: Yay! He seems to really make you happy!
What she meant: My God he is uglier than sin.
What have you told friends when they announced their very horrible engagement?
This is a very shallow post... I truely hope some very nice ladies don't take this seriously and feel like everyone may be mocking their happy moment
My reaction to my ex-best friend's engagement "Oh. Hahahahahahahahaha."
My ex-best friend was the guy in that relationship. He was a self-confessed perv, who likes to say, "I will literally do anything that moves." Seriously. Direct quote from him.
He cheats constantly. She knows it. She threatens to kill herself. She won't let him work or have a car, so she has to take him everywhere. He still manages to cheat by sneaking out at night or just having the women pick him up.
He knew exactly how I felt about their relationship. It's a disaster. Them getting engaged was just...well, it was stupid.
Anyway! This post is shallow. I'm extremely direct with what I mean. All this crap is simply stupid. Are people really that petty? I think whoever wrote this needs to get better friends.
What I really wanted to say is: Not one person believes this will last. Don't do it.
After they divorced: It was never going to work.
I don't candy coat a damn thing. I've told my friends flat out that I don't like their fiance or husband. I told her she was a fucking idiot to marry him. He was mean to her, called her stupid and would tell her that her PLACE was in the house cooking and cleaning. I guess the 5 carat diamond clouded her judgement and self respect. He was openly racist, I wasn't allowed in their house, I couldn't hold her children and I was put on a list to not be allowed to their wedding. She went along with all of this. As time went on, the friendship fizzled out and we stop speaking for some years. When they divorced, she showed up on my door step and asked my forgivness, I slammed the door in her face!
"Shallow" isn't a verb.
Quoting B1Bomber: Wow, I'm glad I only make friends with decent people who would neither say nor mean any of these things. "He's too hot for you?" Really'? Shallow much?

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon name Cowlepeper comes from when its first bearer worked as a spicer. The name is derived from two Old English elements, cul and pepper. It meant "pepper gatherer." As spices were rare and expensive in the medieval period, this would have been a valued occupation.
Cowlepeper Early Origins
Kent where the family descend from Culpepers of Bayhall, Pembury, Kent.
Cowlepeper Spelling Variations
Cowlepeper Spelling Variations
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Cowlepeper include Colepeper, Colpepper, Culpeper, Culpepper, Colepepper, Colpeper, Collpeper and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Cowlepeper or a variant listed above: Henry Culpeper who settled in Virginia in 1663; Jonathan Culpeper settled in Virginia in 1646; William Culpepper settled in New England in 1634; Margaret Culpepper settled in Virginia in 1751..

Spitzer Puts Limits on Political Contributions at the Top of His Wish List
By DANNY HAKIM; Nicholas Confessore contributed reporting
Published: April 18, 2007
Campaign-finance reform tops Gov. Eliot Spitzer's agenda for the rest of the legislative session, which has two more months to run.
''The first step, and this is the predicate of any meaningful conversation on campaign-finance reform, is lowering dramatically the threshold for contributions'' -- which would require legislative action -- the governor said at a press conference on Tuesday to discuss his priorities.
But as he has learned in his first few months in office, the Legislature often has its own, far different, agenda. When the Senate majority leader, Joseph L. Bruno, spelled out his priorities this week, campaign-finance reform was nowhere to be found.
Instead, Mr. Bruno and other Senate Republicans counterpunched with their own bid to claim the mantle of reform on Tuesday. They lined up behind a long-shot proposal from a freshman senator, Joseph Griffo, a Republican from Rome, that would impose eight-year term limits on statewide elected officials, legislative leaders and the heads of legislative committees.
It would not apply to the current legislative leaders, however. ''The first question I asked Joe when he discussed this with me: 'How's it affect me? Is it retroactive? Do we go back eight years?' '' Mr. Bruno said, with a knowing smile. ''And I got the proper assurances.''
Mr. Bruno, 78, has been majority leader for more than a decade and has evinced no plans to leave.
The Assembly speaker, Sheldon Silver, a Democrat who has also held his post for more than a decade, said of the Senate proposal: ''I think it's perfectly appropriate, if the Senate feels that way, that they can have this done immediately by passing an amendment to the Senate rules that requires it'' for senators. As for the Assembly, he said, ''I haven't heard our members express this passion.''
Asked if the Senate would take such a step unilaterally, Mr. Bruno said his focus was on making the proposal law. As for campaign-finance reform, he said, ''The governor's top priority ought to be the upstate economy.''
''When the governor ran for office, he traveled this whole state and did remarkably well, and everywhere he went he talked about the upstate economy and how desperate some of the areas are in terms of job creation and growth,'' Mr. Bruno said. ''That's our No. 1 priority.''
The governor emphasized that his priority was lowering contribution limits -- he has already lowered the limit on how much he will accept, from roughly $50,000 per donor to $10,000, though he has on occasion appeared at state party fund-raising events that have higher limits.
He has also proposed a number of other changes, like public financing of state elections, and closing loopholes, including one that allows contributors to far exceed limits by using limited liability companies.
Other items near the top of the governor's agenda include the first raises for judges in several years and streamlining the overlapping layers of the state court system.
He also will propose amending the State Constitution to set up a new process for redistricting the Legislature, a proposal that is sure to face strong resistance in the Legislature.
He is also negotiating with lawmakers changes to the Wicks Law, which requires that four separate contractors be hired for different kinds of work on public building projects, driving up costs. And he said that he would propose measures to fight childhood obesity and limit children's access to violent video games.
Hot-button issues that are not on his priority list include gay marriage, which he has said he would support, and raises for lawmakers.
''The issue of legislative pay raises,'' he said, ''is simply not on the table.''

The Modulor is regarded as the most important modern attempt to develop a mathematically coherent measurement system based on the proportions of the human body. Le Corbusier's corresponding book on the subject, Le Modulor, is still valued as an essential work in the field of modern architectural history. During the architect's lifetime only a few samples of this measuring tape were created – for his personal use in the design of building projects. An original artefact in the holdings of the Fondation Le Corbusier served as the model for this new edition by the Vitra Design Museum.

Since the introduction of CAD drawings everything has been easier and more precise, but simultaneously more rigorous and rigid. What could never have been possible by hand can now be done with digital drawings. Even the most complicated forms and daring joints have become simple.
These are the More than good errors, sought not to make mistakes but to stimulate the search for fresh forms and slight distortions, minute misalignments, missing symmetries and so on. Because making mistakes also means searching when the answer is not clear; it means wandering in order to arrive. Error as the spring of composition can give rise to more surprising, sensitive and exciting objects.
The technique, dating from Etruscan times, is called bucchero. Using dark grayish clay, it is done in three exclusively manual phases. The piece is worked on the lathe, smoothed with boxwood sticks to polish its surface and baked at a high temperature.
The evident imprecision's in the showcases are not only deliberate in their structure, but actually pursued with great effort, for they are very difficult to achieve. The attainment of slight obliquities entailed the use of advanced manufacturing technologies such as laser cutting and other numeric control systems normally adopted to get straight and absolutely regular lines. We had to examine them so carefully and to understand them so thoroughly that we could bend them to the accomplishment of our own more than good errors.

If you are reading this blog, you probably knit or crochet. Do you remember when you learned? Do you remember who taught you? It's often a memory so indelible that you can picture details about that day from the way the room looked to what you were wearing. Many of us learned as children, in awe of this person who could teach us to create something from a simple ball of yarn. We may have put down our craft as we became busy with children or work and picked it up again as we awaited the birth of a child, found a new way to relieve stress or discovered a yarn that could not be resisted.
This lovely story tells of a woman whose most cherished gift was given to her by an aunt when she was seven years old. She remembers the day, the snack of tea and cookies that came with the gift and the color of the yarn.
This holiday season, consider giving this precious, lifelong gift to a child. It's a gift of your knowledge and your presence together with a few inexpensive supplies. It's a gift that connects you to the person you teach in a way that very few gifts can. It's a gift for the holidays that reminds us of what is really important.
We invite you to share your stories of the person who taught you to knit by commenting on this blog post.

It doesn't open until tomorrow so I've yet to see How We Are, Tate Britain's new exhibition of photographs of these British nations and those who live in them. But the preview pundits seem clear about one thing: the 500 snaps reveal that the concept of "Britishness" has long been extremely tricky to define.
Well, thank your God for that. The more elusive some master narrative of Britishness is, the less susceptible are we who live in Britain to politicians who, for reasons both dodgy and dopey, hold forth about the need for more Britishness - whatever it is - as though patriotism and good citizenship are automatically the same thing.
How We Are comes at a good time for those of us who kind of like living in Britain, have been inspired by the best bits of its culture and history - East End Judaism, Jelly Babies, The Jam, where will it end? - and subscribe to the general rule that they who profess their Britishness most loudly are they who do most to foul up the place. Britain has, after all, just entered a period of political transition, with an outgoing prime minister muttering previously unheard of mea culpas, his successor roaming the lands laying out how he'll set things right and the opposition leader doing the same.
Meanwhile, Scotland has a nationalist at the helm and Plaid Cymru hopes for power as part of a coalition in Wales. And then there's Labour's deputy leadership contest, which, if looked at in a certain light, is already providing little insights into the fine, fractious mess of priorities and preoccupations that informs national identity throughout the whole of the UK.
Last week's session in London saw each of the six candidates striving to embody a different winning combination of British roots and modernity, continuity and change - the elixir of history, you might say. Social class, of course, played a conspicuous, almost comical, part in that opening credibility parade. Who is the proliest? Alan Johnson with his extraordinary rise from hard-up orphanhood to cabinet? Hazel Blears, with her bus-driver brother? Jon Cruddas, an activist formed by the best traditions of migrant Irish Catholicism? (And far, far, more astute on employment, housing rights and immigration than his clod-hopping constituency neighbour Margaret Hodge).
Then there was the gender theme: which candidate will appeal most to Britain's women on whose votes so much depends? Until Tony Blair turned up, they'd preferred Tories solidly since the war, quite unlike their counterparts elsewhere in Europe who've mostly leaned left. Now they seem unsure. Harriet Harman, of course, has been playing the gender card from the beginning, though her policy record on mums hasn't always delighted the faithful. Blears does Brit womanness in a different, rather nostalgic way, rather like a cheery walk-on in a 60s social realist film. (Hazel's the holiest, too. And have you wondered, by the way, if the mere fact of a woman being Gordon Brown's number two will really help, as is routinely claimed? The answer is that it probably would a bit, though there's much more to it than that, as Anne Perkins' analysis in New Statesman shows.)
Yesterday's first full hustings in Coventry - "full" because the chancellor was there too - saw the first signs of divisions on policy. Check Polly Toynbee's report, though, and see confirmed by the accompanying picture that nationhood is a fixed backdrop theme of the Brown ascendancy as it will surely continue to be afterwards. This enthuses me and also makes me edgy. It enthuses me because questions about identity, of which national affiliation is but one, fascinate me. It makes me edgy because, although those who talk with most prideful certainty about British history, culture and character aren't always xenophobic, one-eyed, authoritarian know-alls, they do have a tendency to be. Most un-British of them, I would say.
If there were a "Britishness" to which I could gladly subscribe it would be one that takes as read that the pros, cons and character of Britain's past, present and future, far from being matters for near-compulsory agreement, are disparate and paradoxical and that their meanings are forever up for grabs. Politicians can and should be part of the unending conversation this implies. But, please, Gordon, let's have no ironclad rulebook on Britishness imposed from above. After all, in the real world, Britishness can only be the sum of how people in Britain are, including those who don't even think of themselves as being British first and foremost, if at all.
As its title tells us, the Tate Britain exhibition seeks to show us How We Are. In a different, bittier, and far more modest way I'm going to try to do the same during the weeks leading up to Gordon Brown becoming prime minister. With one eye on the politicians and the other quite deliberately looking the other way - an interesting optical challenge - my plan is to visit as many different parts of Britain as my home life and other work commitments allow, filing pieces to Cif as I go. Not for one second do I think my travels will help me reach a single, clear conclusion about what Britishness is. But so what? I don't believe in such a thing anyway.
