Virgin Records at 40: interview with Brian Cooke
As the record label celebrates four decades of 'disruption' we interview one of Virgin's key creative collaborators, Brian Cooke
Virgin Records turns 40 this year. The label which made defying convention its enduring philosophy has now become thoroughly absorbed into the mainstream music business. Its famous founder has long since departed, selling first to EMI which then, in 2012, sold the label on to Universal. But with help from creative studio This is Real Art, Virgin is marking its anniversary by reminding us of the contribution it made not just to music but also to the visual culture of the past four decades. To begin, Daniel Benneworth-Gray interviews one of Virgin's key creative contributor Brian Cooke …
The Knavesmire, a vast wedge of green on the outskirts of York. Every weekend, this is the launch site for a pair of tourist-packed hot air balloons. They inflate, they rise, they serenely bob over the city. Silent and graceful except for the vast word emblazoned on each one, screaming down at all below. Virgin.
Nearby is the studio of Brian Cooke. In the late 70s and early 80s, he and partner Trevor Key were Cooke Key Associates, design agency to the burgeoning Virgin Records. In their time working for the label, the two photographers were responsible for more than 150 album covers and related marketing materials.
With Branson's label celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, Cooke is reflecting upon the agency's work. Something of a hoarder, he's kept everything. In numerous drawers, finished sleeves and posters share space with fragments of the creative process – sketches, test prints and photographic masks. Amongst them, a modest piece of watercolour paper, the original artwork for that logo. In 1978, that ever-airborne mark was just another project.
"One day we were at Virgin and Simon Draper, Virgin Records' managing director, said we need to settle on a new logo – I think it was for a sampler – and I like yours," recalls Cooke. "We'd just done a new logo for ourselves with Ray Kite, this calligrapher in Covent Garden. So we tried something like that. We specced this idea with Ray, using the V of the Virgin as a tick, like a tick of approval. We wanted it hand-drawn on watercolour paper to get these uneven edges, as that's how we perceived them – not this clean, clinical record business. We chose one, cut it out and I photographed it. We thought it'd be on a few records. They adopted it for the label logo, the corporate style, then the record stores took it up."
Since those humble beginnings, the logo has had quite a life. Branson's tick of approval has found its way onto trains, banks, fizzy pop, aircraft. Few logos have ever achieved such a breadth of use. It's now on a spaceship.
"It is incredible. But it's been copied and recopied, the rough edges have been taken off. The way it's been used has sanitised it. But I'm proud of that logo," Cooke says. "It'd be unusual if you spent a day without seeing it. If you came up with something like that today for all those companies, it'd cost an absolute fortune."
But back then, the pre-sanitised Virgin were a little more down to earth. Shipton-on-Cherwell in Oxfordshire to be precise. This was where Virgin were making a name for themselves with a diverse roster of artists, working out of a stately home simply dubbed The Manor.
"It was the end of the hippy period," says Cooke, "It was all very easy-going, laid back, especially Virgin, who were a very laid back company. Branson was a hippy in a way, at the start. And the people he employed were. But they had to become more business-like."
The Oldfield money
They had to because Virgin's eclecticism was buoyed by one artist, and one album in particular. Cooke doesn't understate it's importance. "The truth is, if there hadn't been a Tubular Bells (for which Key, who passed away in 1995, designed the sleeve), there wouldn't be a Virgin. It was good luck or good fortune or good A&R to find that album. They lived for a long time off the proceeds. Quite esoteric, smaller artists were supported by it, like Gong, Ivor Cutler. I'm not saying they weren't valid, but Virgin could afford to persevere with them longer, thanks to the Oldfield money."
Cooke and Key benefited greatly from this Tubular eclecticism, getting to work with artists that suited their different styles. Flicking through an old Virgin catalogue mailer, Cooke points out the sleeves that they'd worked on. "… mine, mine, Trev's, mine, Trev's, Trev's …."
Most, it would seem. The Cooke Key look was the Virgin look. Essentially it was two looks – they mostly worked independently in their own particular styles. They'd both met at Hull College of Art in the mid-60s, and by the time they set up the agency a decade later, they'd found their creative voices. A former roadie and band manager for The Mandrakes, Cooke was adept at capturing the live energy of bands, while Key focused more on still life and conceptual imagery. Their disciplines complemented each other, so the partnership made sense.
"It was simple: I did the people, he did the things. There were enough of each, we carried on like that. We were so busy, we didn't get a chance to argue over who shot what. It worked quite well."
A third voice was integral to the work. They worked closely with the man Branson described as "our other genius", John Varnom. Cooke recalls the partnership fondly. "JV had been with the label right from the start. He did all of our copywriting, and we did all the concepts together. We used to go to Pizza Express and have these creative meetings at lunchtime, come up with all the ideas and concepts. JV always came up with the more risqué stuff."
Looking at the artwork they produced, the acts they worked with, the energy between these three as they bounced ideas back and forth over margheritas must have been electric. Cooke smiles at the memory of these sessions.
"It was a really fun time. Just waiting for the next project, the next set of ideas. That's what I liked about it. Virgin were really nice people to work for, and JV was instrumental in that. Looking back, it was a very influential and interesting time – on the edge, pushing boundaries."
Those pushed boundaries are scattered throughout Cooke's archive. Particularly in this one drawer. The drawer with the portrait of Her Royal Highness in it.
"This guy Jamie Reid walked in, sent by Virgin," says Cooke, "He was good at concepts and had bits and pieces, but didn't have the skills to put it down. So we did the Sex Pistols artwork together. We were coming towards the end of Cooke Key, we were all getting a bit iffy about it, but The Sex Pistols kept us going."
Pure punk loveliness
It certainly did. For little over a year, Cooke Key Associates produced a huge quantity of iconic design for the band. As Cooke talks, he pulls out sheet after sheet of pure punk loveliness. Deliberately crass lettering, obnoxious palettes, the occasional subverted monarch. This is where the distinctive Sex Pistols look was created, on these bits of paper.
It's been mimicked and pilfered and diluted over the years, but at the time it was new and untested. Not that the media furore concerned Cooke. "We never really thought about getting in trouble, we just got on with it. It was more, will Virgin accept it? They were the arbiters, they had to stand by it. Of course, a lot of the time they hardly saw it, or they didn't really have much chance to change anything. Mostly we were up against the press deadlines and they went along with stuff."
Virgin invited and revelled in the media outcry. For the agency, it was just fuel for their creativity. "It was all very sensationalised, and Virgin wanted it to be that way. It all got banned – and that's what sold it. When God Save the Queen was number two, they wouldn't print it on the official charts – you couldn't see it, but it was there. There was a gap. So I'd sneak into a WH Smith, take a photograph of the chart, and use that as part of the marketing. We were responding to stuff like that all the time. I think getting too outrageous was the barrier you were knocking all the time, especially with JV and Jamie. They came up with some … strong ideas."
Cooke Key Associates had their job to do, and once that look was set, they were left to do it. It's a long way from the perception that everything poured straight out of the band itself. "Draper commissioned us for the jobs. Branson was hardly involved. We very rarely met Malcolm McLaren, if at all. He would never turn up in our studio and tell us what to do. There were influences coming from him, but he was more involved with the film."
Tidying the punk away, Cooke continues to sift through pieces that clearly haven't seen the light of day in some time. Among them, proud memories. "We only ever got one award, best album cover design from Melody Maker, for this," he says, holding up Tangerine Dream's 1976 album Stratosfear, pointing out the different images and processes that make up the abstract image.
Together, Cooke and Key experimented with dark room techniques, pioneering the use of Cibachrome direct reversal colour paper and black silver masks in the creation of composite images. The results are all right there on the Stratosfear sleeve. "That's shot from Cleveland Hills overlooking Middlesbrough; that's an upside down shot from a plane; the flying slabs, they came from 2001. The type isn't good enough. We probably didn't even see that type until it was proofed. We specced the type up on an overlay, sent it to the printers. Today, you'd just adjust it in Photoshop."
Flicking past typically menacing portraits of Sparks ("I got on with them quite well, they were lovely"), he pulls out another pile of masks and bits of fractured image, an elaborate jigsaw of a surreal studio set. All these separate layers with their register punch marks, when pieced together make up the cover of Mike Oldfield's Boxed. This chemical-mechanical approach to creating images is a long way from the digital processes used today, an entirely different craft. No room for undos.
"You had to be more set in your mind about an image. When we did it, it was just something we did. That's how you produced an image. You'd never think it'd evolve into what it is now."
Cooke has no dealings with 'what it is now'. By the early 80s, Virgin Records was unrecognisable from those bohemian days at the Manor. "The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle tells it all really, Malcolm was so right with that. The bands weren't that involved, they were just another product – the accountants taking over changed everything."
The 70s were over. As the hippies bought their suits, and graphic designers usurped photographers as the dominant creative leads on ever-shrinking formats, Cooke and Key called it a day. They parted company in 1981 to pursue other projects.
He still shoots – no photographer ever really retires – but for pleasure, not business. Although he's a staunch convert to digital photography (his favourite camera is the one he carries with him everywhere – his iPhone), he still has reservations about the modern way of doing things. "If someone asked me to design an album cover today, I think I'd find it very hard to do it on a computer. I think there's too much. Too many possibilities. Every tool, everything you'd ever want is right there. Making a decision of which route you're going to go down and what you're going to do and how you're going to do it. Things that used to takes hours – it's now just an algorithm, just a click away. And it's never as good."
He tidies everything back into the drawers. An incredible body of work, and memories of a different time. "If I'd known at the time it was going to develop into something so boring, I'd have appreciated it a lot more. It was great. It was never going to end. Nothing's ever going to end, is it? But it always does and it reaches a different conclusion to what you expect." Outside, a logo designed for a few records floats into the sky.

Anyone who pays a bit of attention to what is going on in college dorms across the country no doubt is aware of serious safety concerns associated with abuse of alcohol. The National Institute for Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism's fact sheet on college drinking notes that more than half a million students between the ages of 18 and 24 are unintentionally injured each year while under the influence of alcohol. Nearly 700,000 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking (roughly one out of every 20 college students in this age group). And more than 100,000 report that they had sex when they were so inebriated that they didn't even know whether they wanted to have sex or not.
Not surprisingly, such statistics have prompted considerable discussion and action on college campuses and in university towns. Stricter enforcement of penalties for selling alcohol to minors, working to reduce the ease of access to alcohol, and serious consequences for students engaged in alcohol abuse are among the initiatives being pursued.
This is not a new problem. But we do have some new perspective.
One element of this perspective is what campuses learned when they started imposing severe penalties for illegal possession and being found to be intoxicated.
Student violators, not surprisingly, became very concerned about being caught, fearing serious consequences.
So if a roommate, buddy or stranger who just happened to drop in became so intoxicated that they passed out, someone would lay them in a quiet room, close the door, and walk away.
Meanwhile, especially if the individual had been drinking rapidly, his/her alcohol level continued to rise. Alcohol poisoning resulted. Some died.
This prompted some soul-searching on campuses. The goal of reducing alcohol abuse clearly was worthy. But the cost, if it meant increased deaths due to alcohol poisoning, seemed an excessively high price to pay. Even if it was only one such preventable death, it was too high.
So many campuses adopted a kind of "good Samaritan" policy. If security was called to a dorm room because someone was at risk of alcohol poisoning, no action would be taken against those who made the call, even if they themselves were drunk or in possession of alcohol against policy.
I applauded this decision when it was made at the university where I was teaching. While I am deeply concerned about substance abuse, especially among our youngest citizens (though not just among them), I did not and do not believe the pursuit of illegal drinkers should trump the preservation of lives.
I remembered these developments as I read the recent strong statement by the U.S. Conference of Mayors against efforts by some members of Congress to force cities to enforce certain elements of federal immigration law. The mayors' clear reasoning echoes the logic and wisdom of such policies in another critical area of public safety: dealing with serious crime.
Police investigations of serious crimes rely heavily upon community cooperation. When the community where crimes are occurring won't talk with the police, law enforcement efforts are thwarted, and dangerous criminals go free.
Police departments across the country that have adopted some form of a community policing model have recognized this truth and placed considerable emphasis on building good relations with the various communities within their city. This is especially true with communities that might otherwise be distrustful of men and women in blue.
One set of communities where such trust must be built is the set of immigrant communities in our cities. Whether Latino or Hispanic, Afro-Caribbean or Eastern European, immigrants from similar backgrounds often cluster together for mutual support as they navigate our unfamiliar culture and laws. Inevitably, there will be illegal immigrants in these communities as well as legal ones. There also will be those who, while having legal status, have had experiences of being treated with suspicion and, regrettably, being deprived of their rights, or at least their dignity, on the basis of this suspicion.
When crimes involving members of these communities occur, there may be a natural reluctance to engage law enforcement out of fear of the repercussions. Only if trust has been built, and is maintained by action, can police officers hope to secure their cooperation.
What the U.S. Conference of Mayors is telling Congress is, quite simply, let us decide how best to fight crime in our communities. The statement doesn't endorse local nullification of immigration laws. It doesn't praise (or condemn) cities whose citizens, generally opposed to our current approach to handling illegal immigration, have sought to pursue acts of what might be called civil disobedience toward federal immigration policy.
What the statement does is remind Congress that there are consequences for every action. Compel cities to aggressively enforce every aspect of federal immigration law and Congress will both distort local priorities for law enforcement and undermine the ability of our officers to keep our cities safe.
This isn't about whether one agrees with the idea of a "sanctuary city" or not. This is about respecting the autonomy of cities to pursue the most effective path they can identify to preserving public safety. Only the folks on the front lines of public safety in our communities are going to know how to do that.

Best Answer:
I haven't seen the new wall charging unit, but if we assume that the output voltage is 5 volts -- then the charging unit would be putting out 2.4 amps.
Quick calculation to find watts: Volts * Amps = Watts, so 5V * 2.4 amps = 12 watts.

Partner with Pearson on an educator study
At Pearson, we believe that learning is a life-changing opportunity and that education should have a measurable impact on learners' lives. We not only hold ourselves accountable for the products we make—we also work closely with educators to learn from, document, and share their learner experiences and outcomes via educator case studies.
At Pearson, we believe that learning is a life-changing opportunity and that education should have a measurable impact on learners' lives. We not only hold ourselves accountable for the products we make—we also work closely with educators to learn from, document, and share their learner experiences and outcomes via educator case studies.
What Are Educator Case Studies?
These studies share actual implementation practices experienced by educators using a Pearson digital product and evaluate possible relationships between program implementation and student performance. The findings are not meant to imply causality or generalizability within or beyond these instances. Rather, they can begin to provide informed considerations for implementation and adaptation decisions in other user contexts. Mixed-methods designs are applied to all studies, and the data collected include qualitative data from interviews, quantitative program usage analytics, and performance data. Open-ended interviews are used to guide data collection.
Why is Pearson interested in educator studies?
Educator case studies have helped educators over the past decade understand more about the teaching and learning experience, use data to inform implementation modifications to improve learner outcomes, and determine what is most relevant about their implementation and results. This in turn helps us improve our products and share blueprints of best practices with other educators seeking new ways to increase student success.
The Pearson Results Library is a comprehensive collection of evidence-based educator studies. Each study reports on the impact that the customer believes they are having on the teaching and learning experience using a Pearson digital product.

Questions to consider:
• Why did you decide to implement the Pearson digital product in your course?
• What challenges and goals are you hoping to address?
• How will you measure the success of your Pearson digital implementation?
• What outcomes are you trying to achieve, and how will you measure these outcomes?
What quantitative results can be measured?
We can help you gauge the impact that your implementation, taken holistically, is having on your students' learning and course success. The results you measure with the full support of our data analysts may include but are not limited to:
• Relationship between homework completion and scores and final exams (or final course grades)
• Comparison of test averages, pass rates, success rates, or retention rates over semesters
• Accelerated completion of remedial courses
• Completion and achievement in subsequent courses
Don't forget about qualitative observations:
• Students coming to class more prepared and more engaged
• Improved class discussions; students asking higher-level questions
• Student ownership of learning in pursuit of academic goals
The Process
Every study project is unique. The process can take from two to nine months. Instructors interested in conducting studies should expect an interactive and rewarding partnership. To maintain objectivity, Pearson does not offer compensation for participation in educator case studies.
- Overview call with Pearson Customer Outcomes Analytics Manager to discuss goals, identify measures of success, and agree on next steps.
- Pearson provides planning guidelines, data collection tools, and sample surveys to share with students and faculty both at the start and end of the course.
- Submission of quantitative and qualitative results and discussion of outcomes. Pearson Customer Outcomes Analytics Managers and data analysts are ready to assist with data analysis, to document implementation best practices, and to help define next steps.
- Pearson completes the study and sends it to the educator for review and approval.
- Pearson publishes the study on its Results Library at www.pearsonmylabandmastering.com/results and for Revel studies at www.pearsonhighered.com/revel/educators/results.

I have your book Criminal Justice 5th edition by Albanese. Do you sell anything that may assist me in learning the massive amount of information in this book ?

Here is a great idea sent to me personally from a List Member that I wanted to post for everyone to see.
One thought that you may want to consider is caching x number of values at a time. When the item changes, check the cache FIRST(in a hash based on the index number as the key), and only if you do not find the cached data, then do the DB lookup. I would do something like:
load listview and cache x number of values, 1->x (20 may be a good number)
when an item is clicked, check the cache first for existence of the index clicked on
if it is in the cache, show the data from the cache
else run your query to load x number of records into the cache either clearing or keeping all the existing data, depending on your expected number of items total. This depends on memory,etc. Obviously, if you will have thousands of items in the listview, you may not want to keep all the data in memory for performance reasons.
This a) keeps memory footprint small, and b) gives quick response in "most" cases, c) reduces total database round trips. I would suggest using a temp variable to hold the NEW version of the cache until after your DB query lookup has returned. This way, if the user clicks on an item, the item is not in the cache AND the DB look up fails, you still have all the existing cached data and can have the user try again without losing the current cached values.
In General, if you or your users would access items sequentially in "most" cases, you could also set up seperate thread to purge/load the cache in the background., say current index -20 through index +20
Just a thought...

SEAL's "Deadliest Sniper," Chris Kyle, Punched Out Jesse Ventura
Perhaps you've heard of Chris Kyle. The former Navy SEAL and Dallas resident has a book out called American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History. The guy has more than 160 confirmed kills, two Silver Stars, and five Bronze Stars With Valor. Texas Monthly did a Q&A with him in its January issue. The Morning News has a Q&A with him in today's paper. But both articles overlooked one very awesome anecdote. In doing his rounds to drum up sales of the book, Kyle made an appearance on Opie and Anthony yesterday. Opie asked Kyle to tell the story about the time in 2006 that Kyle punched out former SEAL and Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura. Pretty good story, if true.

Other kids at your house and vice versa
What is the norm for other kids being at your house?
How often?
How much of the day?
How many kids?
And also how much time do your own kids spend at their friend's houses?
Re: Other kids at your house and vice versa
My kids are still pretty little and running in the preschool crowd, so, with the exception of cousins or out of town guests, they still only have play dates. We were doing one a week for a few hours until I was put on bedrest and then they took vacation and the mom is going back to work so I guess that's kind of over. It would be about 3 hours, but the other parent was there, too, and we alternated houses. My oldest has had 2 play dates where the parents didn't come along, 2-3 hours each.
Re: Other kids at your house and vice versa
I don't do other people's kids.
My kids can have friends come over and they can play outside or they can go to friends houses and play outside. With the exception of the older kids (14/12yo) who have friends that live farther (read a few blocks) away, the little kids have to stay pretty much in my sight.
Re: Other kids at your house and vice versa
I have 1 extra kid to 4 extra kids here from 7am until 9pm with a few breaks in between. On occasion I may have 6 other kids here if the neighbors nephews are around.
There are 2 houses next door to ours that have young girls and all of our kids "house hop" all day long. My house has the most junk food and toys so they seem to be here the most.
My kids wake up asking if they can go to the neighbors at 6:30am and they ask repeatedly over and over again all day long.
Kids have come in my house and into my bedroom while I was getting out of the shower. Thank goodness I was finished and had a towel on.
I try to send them home for meals but they end up eating a lot of our food. If one of my kids has a snack then I can't say no the others KWIM.
It is nice sometimes but really annoying other times.
Re: Other kids at your house and vice versa
We live rural so kids really never just show up. Once they are teens and driving they do, but not before that. I never minded, but that's probably because I didn't have years and years of it happening.
Re: Other kids at your house and vice versa
We are just starting to have a lot of kids around. My oldest is kindof a homebody. She does have friends over once or twice a month. Usually 3-5 of them. My younger kids run back and forth to the neighbors. There are 6 other kids that live in the 2 neighbor houses. Mostly I love that. Sometimes I hate it. I am really trying to have "friends day" every week or two. They each pick a friend to walk home from school with. That way I can just set aside one day and know I wont get anything done.
Re: Other kids at your house and vice versa
We also are rural, so no one shows up. It's got to be intentional. I don't really care to have many kids over, the kids have plenty of sibs here to play with and enjoy. They rarely ask to have others over.
Re: Other kids at your house and vice versa
We are also Rural, So no one just shows up. But I really don't care to have extra kids over. I'm very busy. Eric and I both work full time and then having 4 kids and a horse its a another full time job lol. Now with another on the way I really say no to extra kids. I just don't have the energy for it.
My daughter is 11 and will go to friends houses. She goes for a lot of overnights at there houses. But the boys don't yet.
Re: Other kids at your house and vice versa
We live in the city and there are continuously other children here. Usually between 1-3 kids at any given time. I do have a time limit on it, so from 1pm until 4:30pm it is okay to have their friends over for an hour or two, in the back yard or to watch a movie etc. There is a high number of kids on our block and out house seems to always be a popular place to hang out. I do love kids though, so it doesnt usually bother me at all unless they get rowdy, Im not feeling well or it gets chaotic. I do however find bulk snack such as mr freezies, granola bars and fruit, as well as mixed juices come in quite handy throughout the day here;o)
Re: Other kids at your house and vice versa
The only kids we usually have over is the cousins for parties/ holidays. If they are well behaved kids, they would be welcome. I don't do disrespectful, rude, lying and/or messy kids. I much rather have extra kids than have my kids where I don't know what's going on.
Re: Other kids at your house and vice versa
It was like that when we lived on base. Sometimes you just have to say no. Spell it out for them. "I'm sorry, but we're having family time right now. Maybe they can play later." And "You need to knock on the door, and wait until someone lets you in. We can't walk into other people's homes." Talk to the parents too. I had a little boy who just wouldn't stop letting himself into my house (and he was a sweetie, but come on!) I went and talked to his mom, and she was not aware he was doing that and gave him a talking to.
Now off base, we are pretty rural so no one really stops by. The kids do miss it. Now I actually have to call and set up play dates if they want someone over, so it's not too often. Beth and Matt are 7 and 8 now, and they will do drop off playdates or have a friend dropped off here which is nice.
Re: Other kids at your house and vice versa
there is about a dozen extra kids around here that are here constantly. I don't like a majority of them. I tolerate one or two. I don't do too many sleep overs unless the oldest is "babysitting" while we go for a walk at night or something. I just got *****ed at today by the neighbor because her kids ask her if mine can sleep over there all the time. Ummm... say NO moron...
Re: Other kids at your house and vice versa
We also live rural, and now that the kids are older I rarely say no to a sleepover. They're all nice kids that come over, and it's not like there's always someone extra.
If we lived in town and there were lots of kids I'd have to make some sort of boundaries, having so many extra's all the time would drive me a little crazy.

"Style takes its final shape more from attitudes of mind than from principles of composition, for, as an elderly practitioner once remarked, "Writing is an act of faith, not a trick of grammar." This moral observation would have no place in a rule book were it not that style is the writer, and therefore what you are, rather than what you know, will at last determined your style. If you write, you must believe - in the truth and worth of the scrawl, in the ability of the reader to receive and decode the message. No one can write decently who is distrustful of the reader's intelligence, or whose attitude is patronizing.
Many references have been made in this book to "the reader," who has been much in the news. It is now necessary to warn you that your concern for the reader must be pure: you must sympathize with the reader's plight (most readers are in trouble about half the time) but never seek to know the reader's wants. Your whole duty as a writer is to please and satisfy yourself, and the true writer always plays to an audience of one. Start sniffing the air, or glancing at the Trend Machine, and you are as good as dead, although you may make a nice living.
Full of belief, sustained and elevated by the power of purpose, armed with the rules of grammar, you are ready for exposure. At this point, you may well pattern yourself on the fully exposed cow of Robert Louis Stevenson's rhyme. This friendly and commendable animal, you may recall, was "blown by all the winds that pass/And wet with all the showers." And so must you as a young writer be. In our modern idiom, we would say that you must get wet all over. Mr. Stevenson, working in a plainer style, said it with felicity, and suddenly one cow, out of so many, received the gift of immortality. Life the steadfast writer, she is at home in the wind and the rain; and, thanks to one moment of felicity, she will live on and on and on."

A 59-year-old Vietnamese man has been rushed to hospital in agony after he got his penis broken during sex.
When he got to the hospital in Ho Chi Minh City and he was asked what really went wrong, he told doctors he heard a loud crack while making love to his partner. When examined, doctors were shocked when they saw the damaged organ, which had clearly been snapped at the point where it joined the man's body.
The organ had also changed from the normal skin colour to bright purple, requiring urgent medical attention, the Tuoi Tre
newspaper reported.
PAY ATTENTION: Get all the latest gossips on NAIJ Gossip App
'The organ was swollen and bruised, but also certainly broken at the joint,' Dr Mai Ba Tien Dung from Binh Dan Hospital said. The unnamed man was taken into the surgery room where doctors proceeded to stitch the broken member back into position.
Dr Dung said the case was very rare, but occurred at full erection. 'Symptoms include a clear "crack" that is accompanied by a sharp pain,' he said.
Dr Dung said this would be followed by purple colouration and ongoing pain and discomfort.
'Without timely surgery, the patient can suffer from a deformed and curved penis and erectile dysfunction. The case of this 59-year-old patient is rare, occurring only once out of a thousand cases of broken penises recorded in medical literature.'
Hmnn, nawa oh!

North Georgia United Methodists Working, Playing to Eradicate Malaria
World Malaria Day brings renewed focus to NGUMC's unique fundraising efforts
Saturday, April 25 is World Malaria Day, when the United Nations and other organizations hope to draw attention to the disease that kills one of every five children born in sub-Sahara Africa. The day is meant to bring light to the fact that every 60 seconds, a child dies from a disease that was virtually eliminated in the U.S. more than 60 years ago. Here in the North Georgia Conference, United Methodist Churches are focused on joining other United Methodists across the denomination to raise $75 million by 2016. Funds raised go to "Imagine No Malaria" campaign, an integrated plan of action focused on prevention, education, communication, and treatment.
"The good news is, we know how to stop death and suffering from malaria and great progress has been made," said NGUMC's Imagine No Malaria Field Coordinator Dr. Jamie Jenkins. "In 2006 a child died every 30 seconds. That death rate has been cut in half in the past eight years through efforts like ours."
The North Georgia Conference is one of forty-five conferences within the United Methodist Church that are now engaged in this fight. Since then, nearly 200 churches in our conference have contributed more than $318,000 towards the $67 million that has been raised since 2008.
Some local churches have implemented unique ways to raise money for the campaign. Dunwoody United Methodist Church hosted a concert featuring Atlanta blues maven Francine Reed.
"For a $20 ticket, we got an awesome show, had a great time, and raised more than $5,000 for the cause," said DUMC staff member Jim Boyea. "Francine donated her time, as well as 100 CDs for the first 100 concert goers."
Other churches have orchestrated church-wide competitions and sporting events. A dodge ball tournament for all ages raised $10,500, for instance, at Grayson United Methodist Church. At Reinhardt University a professor enlisted members of her marketing class to develop a fundraising plan as their class project.
"Additionally, the offering at annual conference in June will be designated to 'Imagine No Malaria,' so I trust our total funds raised will increase tremendously that week," said Jenkins.
In 2006 the United Methodist Church partnered with the United Nations Foundation and NBA Cares for "Nothing But Nets," a highly successful program that distributed insecticide treated bed nets to protect people from being infected with malaria. Recognizing more was needed, the United Methodist Church established "Imagine No Malaria" two years later. A more comprehensive approach, the program continues the important task of net distribution, but adds other preventive methods as well as treatment, education, and communication to finally eradicate the disease.
"For nearly two centuries, the United Methodist Church has worked in collaboration with volunteer groups in Africa," added Jenkins. "Trained volunteers teach about the simple, cost-effective, and highly successful use of insecticide treated mosquito nets and other life-saving principles in the hardest-hit African communities. They also work to identify symptoms and dispel myths about malaria."
United Methodists provide funds to operate more than 300 hospitals, clinics, and health posts in 16 countries in sub-Sahara Africa. Thirteen national health teams have been organized to oversee and carry out the work; 11,600 volunteer workers have been trained; and 2.3 million nets have been distributed, equating to more than 6.2 million lives saved. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation underwrites all administrative costs of the effort so every dollar given goes directly to this ministry.
The goal is to raise $75 million in order to eliminate death and suffering from malaria on the African continent. To join this effort, here is what individuals can do:
Donate: Send your checks to NGUMC Conference Treasurer, 4511 Jones Bridge Circle, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092, or put a check marked "Imagine No Malaria" in the offering plate of any United Methodist Church

2002 Nissan Altima - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Generally a good car
By Dale on
Vehicle2002 Nissan Altima 2.5 S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 5M)
ReviewI bought it new in April of 2002. It had it's share of recalls but no more any other car. I did experience the hard starting and the dealer did fix the problem with chip re-programming. The paint on the front of the car will chip very easily and I noticed other Altimas with the same problem. The balancer shaft in the engine went bad at 61250 miles and wiped out the engine. That's right, 1250 miles out of warranty. Nissan told me, "Out of warranty, tough". The car sat at the dealer for over 2 months and the dealer finally agreed to pay for half of the repair costs. It has run flawlessly since then. I love the car, I am taller than most people and this car fits me.
Best FeaturesThe leg room and the driving experience is the best features. The four cylinder engine has plenty of power and the ride is good. My wife loves the back seat, she falls asleep every time she rides in back. This car accommodates 4 adults nicely.
Worst FeaturesThe interior is plain jane. I don't know what Nissan was thinking when they Ok'd that design. The front end will not hold paint. At first, I thought the design was such and it had so much paint exposed but other models have the same or more with no problems.

The AMPHIBIO 82 XTI FUSION is part of the high-end models of the All Mountain Amphibio range.ELAN
The AMPHIBIO 82 XTI FUSION is part of the high-end models of the All Mountain Amphibio range.
It was announced as the ultimate all-mountain ski. It features lots of technology ,making it efficient on all terrains and in all snow conditions.

It is equally powerful and precise thanks to its optimal flex achieved by its laminated wooden core and its light titanium XTI construction.
This ski designed for aficionados is at the peak of versatility. It will please all advanced to expert-level skiers who can perform up to their expectations on any terrain.

- WaveFlex: it is distinguished by a corrugated profile giving it smooth longitudinal flex for easy turns and stability in torsion so the edges will have efficient grip. There had never been any ski design enabling the combination of those two features.
- RST Sidewall: lateral vertical edges provide ideal grip on the whole length of the edges and direct power transmission to the edges at high speed.
- Force Woodcore: The new Force Woodcore construction consists in a piece of glass fiber added to the laminated wood core. This construction improved power transmission and stability in torsion.
- Dual Ti: the wooden core is placed between two layers of titanium. Dual Ti provides better edge control in all snow conditions and offers progressive flex as well as superior responsiveness.
- Toe piece system: Full Diagonal
- Type: Race Lite

14 Month Review
I waited until now (14 months) to review this unit so that most people could get a better idea other than folks who rate it after a few days or a week. This unit is rock solid! Period! I bought it because I'm a Sales Rep and cover 8 North Eastern states and needed tunes and Nav. I had it custom installed in my 2001 Acura 3.2TL as it wasn't plug-n-play at double DIN. At time of install, I went with Polk component speakers in all 4 doors (no tweeters in rear), a 3 channel amp in the trunk powering the front set of speakers and the 10" sub. The sound really is unbelievable with plenty of settings to satisfy the most discriminating ear. As for the backgrounds, they're fine, plain, but fine...it's a radio, not an entertainment center! The DVD playback is flawless, crisp, clear, no skipping..ever. The fact that you can record 700 MP3 songs on a DVD and play them is awesome...with TAG info that will scroll across the bottom. The iPod (I have a 30gig iPod Video)interface is worthless, don't waste your money like I did. I removed the interface and just installed a 3 plug RCA (left, right audio and yellow video)to the second video input and there you go...connect a power cord to the Ipod and it's easier to see the song and video info on the iPod than the head unit screen. I used the Video 1 input for my XM radio(Roady 2) and that sounds awesome as well and I can remove it and use it in my house or hotel room as I travel. The Nav system is second to none. It is near perfect, you can mark locations as you need and find what you want by touch screen. The unit lowers the music volume to give directions as needed (my biggest feature I love) Pricey, but worth it!

Since her parents' mysterious deaths many years ago, scientist Cora Sparks has spent her days in the safety of her university lab or at her grandmother Etta's dress shop. Tucked away on a winding Cambridge street, Etta's charming tiny store appears quite ordinary to passersby, but the colorfully vibrant racks of beaded silks, delicate laces, and jewel-toned velvets hold bewitching secrets: With just a few stitches from Etta's needle, these gorgeous gowns have the power to free a woman's deepest desires.
Etta's dearest wish is to work her magic on her granddaughter. Cora's studious, unromantic eye has overlooked Walt, the shy bookseller who has been in love with her forever. Determined not to allow Cora to miss her chance at happiness, Etta sews a tiny stitch into Walt's collar, hoping to give him the courage to confess his feelings to Cora. But magic spells - like true love - can go awry. After Walt is spurred into action, Etta realizes she's set in motion a series of astonishing events that will transform Cora's life in extraordinary and unexpected ways.

"So charmingly British!"
This book was so sweet, and well narrated. Not particularly deep, but doesn't sacrifice good writing for that charming simplicity found in so many books coming out of UK.
"Loved this book!"
I was pulled immediately & didn't want to put it down. The performance added immensely to the quaint fictional characters. I want another!
"Romance with mystical realism"
The premise of a dress shop where each customer can find a special dress is lovely, and the owner of this enchanted shop, Etta, is the best character in the story. Too bad there wasn't more about the shop and less on all the secondary characters, who added little to the story. Narration was fine.
"A slightly slow....
....start but very nice as it moves forward. Lovely ending! And well read, for sure!
"Sweet magical story!"
I stumbled upon this delightful story during my husband's prolonged illness. It gave me many hours of pleasure. Many thanks to the author!
Lovely book. Preferred Menna's first book The House at the End of Hope St. But this was still charming. Be joyed the narrators voice.
I loved the author's imagery. I could see all the colors and I felt immersed in her world. I could listen to this narrator all day.
"Wonderful, enchanting, highly recommend."
This story tells of fate and love by way of magical and romantic metaphor. Lovely!
"Good Story! Great Narrator!! with a little magic"
A good story!! I liked the story. I don't think it lagged anywhere. My only complaint would be that the ending was pretty transparent--I had it figured out pretty early, but I still enjoyed getting there.
The narration was awesome!!
"Good but not great"
Maybe I expected to much. While enjoyed The Dress Shop of Dreams, I enjoyed The House at the End of Hope Street more

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer
There's room in this town for more than one vampire baby, Edward and Bella. Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer have welcomed twins. The married "True Blood" stars weren't saying exactly when the double bundles arrived, though reps for both said in September 2012 that the kids were premature but doing fine. Moyer and Paquin married in August 2010. She announced her pregnancy in April, with word coming in summer that they'd have two little ones come fall. The newborns are Paquin's first children. Moyer has two kids: 10-year-old Lilac and 12-year-old Billy. MORE: 'True Blood' pair Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer welcome twins

Use Winter Tread Tires or Carry Chains
The province of British Columbia has not yet mandated that only true winter tread tires be used during the winter months on our highways. If you pass a sign requiring the use of winter tires, currently both all season (marked M+S on the sidewall) or true winter tires (marked with the mountain and snowflake symbol on the sidewall) qualify for compliance.
You are no longer allowed to carry tire chains in lieu of having winter or all season tires fitted.
Remember, an all season tire is designed to be a compromise and operate in both summer and winter. It is not designed principally for winter use and may not be your best choice for safety.
Should you choose not to follow the advice on the sign, police may prevent you from traveling further until you are in compliance. They may also choose to issue a traffic ticket that carries a penalty of $121 and 2 points, or about the price of a good winter tire or set of chains.
Reference Links:
Obeying Traffic Controls - Section 125 Motor Vehicle Act
Safety Equipment - Section 208 Motor Vehicle Act
Winter Tires - Transport Canada Web Site
Winter Tires Matter - The Rubber Association of Canada
Seasonal Driving Tips - Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure
What is your recommendation
and use of snow tires vs chains vs cable chains? In other words, which are better and under which conditions? Personally, I think cable chains are great when it snows and on ice, chains I am not familiar with but I typically see large trucks or busses use them, albeit non effectively. They still have difficulty going up a snowy hill.
I have an all wheel drive suv with new all season tires and wish to know which highways are posted with winter tires as I am planning a trip to Edmonton from Van. Is. for Xmas.
Don't get me started.....
ICBC and the Ministry are simple well....
The attitude of ICBC is that we do not need to winter tires at all in the lower mainland, even travelling up to Whistler is fine with summer tires. Of course, all this depends whether or not you get into an accident and the peace office at the scene feels your lack of having winter tires contributed in any way to the accident.
As always, the governments (both provincial, federal, and city) along with out stellar crown corporation insurance company tend to always take a reactive instead of proactive position in all safety and public interest matters.
Just pose the question on social media sites, asking if we should install snow tires in Metro Vancouver. You will see what they're response is: NO.

text: Hello All, We've recently moved into a new house on about 1/3 acre lot in Durham, NC. The lawn looks to be about 50% grass, 40% weeds, 10% bare spots. I plan to renovate this fall, and I wanted to see what you pros think of my plan. Here goes: 1. August 01: Get soil sample and send off for testing 2. August 08: Apply selective herbicide to kill weeds 3. August 15: Recieve soil test results, amend soil as recommended 4. 1st Weekend of September: Planning to make 2 passes with power rake to remove thatch and scarify to soil a bit, them remove clippings from lawn. After that I will aerate with plug aerator. Next top dress with a good compost and level and low spots. Then I will overseed and rake in with the back of a rake. 5. Next 3 Weeks: Water twice a day, and hopefully see some growth Let me all know what you think of my plan, and if I have forgotten or messed anything up. I'm not sure what type of seed I'm going to use, thinking of tall fescue just because I like the look of it, but if you all have other advice, I'm all ears. Also, what type of watering set-up would you guys recommend. I only have one spigot on the outside of the house, and would like to avoid moving sprinklers 5 times a day. Thanks in advance for all your help!

Unanswered: Can I set a relationship with 3 different tables that have the same Primary Key
Hello. I hope I am posting this question in the correct area and manner. I am a new Access 2007 user and am trying to link 3 tables so that I can then create a query. I am creating a relationship between 3 tables using the Primary Key as what they all have in common. The Primary Key for each table is the same and is a unique identifier. It is in fact the employee ID number. It doesn't appear that Access likes this because when I create the query only 49 of the 343 records are returned to me. Can I create a relationship between the tables when each table contains the identical primary key information? The tables have no other unique identifier.
Thank you in advance for any assistance. I really enjoy your site and am learning a lot just from reading the posts.

Usually in such a case, you have a "master" table that have an Identity column (Primary key) while the other table have a Foreign key column that refers to the PK of the "master" table. This does not prevents the other table from having a PK too, however this PK is not used to create the relationship. For three tables, you can also have a model where Table1 has a PK, Table2 has a PK and a FK that refers to the PK of Table1 and Table3 has a PK and a FK that refers to the PK of Table2, this create a hierarchic model. e.g. Table1 contains the Invoices while Table2 contains the Orders (an invoice can have several orders) and Table3 contains the Items (an order can have several items).Have a nice day!
