Lewisham tells Greenwich: Cough up for Blackheath fireworks
Lewisham Council is asking Greenwich Council to start paying towards the annual Blackheath fireworks display again, after revealing fundraising for this year's event fell nearly £30,000 short of covering its costs.
Greenwich withdrew its £37,000 share of funding for what was a jointly-run display in 2010, with council deputy leader Peter Brooks claiming it would be "inappropriate in this financial climate" to fund the event, which takes place right on the border between the two boroughs.
But Lewisham has continued to hold the event, which attracts up to 100,000 people and boosts trade to local businesses in Greenwich, Blackheath and Lewisham.
Lewisham has continued to set aside £36,000 each year for the display, which this year cost £108,673, and has relied on public donations and private sponsorship to make up the rest.
But a cut in private sponsorship money this year has meant the shortfall has widened from £7,919 to £29,656 this year, according to an answer from Lewisham's culture and community services cabinet member Chris Best given at a council meeting last Wednesday.
Responding to Blackheath councillor Kevin Bonavia, she said in a written reply: "Officers continually look for different ways to attract funding for the event. We will continue to request financial and other support from the Royal Borough of Greenwich."
At the time Greenwich Council's Peter Brooks was claiming the borough was too hard-up to pay for Blackheath fireworks, Greenwich was paying £30,000 each year on a private party to inaugurate the borough's ceremonial mayor.
While that cost has come down to £10,000 – thanks to the Royal Naval College no longer charging – this summer the council contributed £20,000 to fireworks displays to support Sail Royal Greenwich, a private company working out of the council's Mitre Passage offices in North Greenwich.
In 2011, it effectively bailed out Greenwich and Docklands Festival with a £100,000 payout, and spent £110,000 on events to mark becoming a royal borough in 2012.
And while supporters of leader Chris Roberts point to Lewisham's controversial decision to cut library funding in response to a government funding squeeze, Greenwich has been cutting under-fives' play centres, outsourcing youth and library services and trying to cut funding from Charlton's Maryon Wilson animal park.
Relations between the two Labour groups have got worse recently, with Lewisham councillors looking on in alarm at the bullying accusations levelled at Greenwich leader Chris Roberts, with the bad smell drifting across the border.
Greenwich councillors complained to their Lewisham counterparts after Bonavia referred to the accusations in his unsuccessful campaign to be the parliamentary candidate for Greenwich & Woolwich, demanding he be disciplined for disloyalty. They were flatly turned down.
Lewisham council also reaffirmed its reservations about the proposed Silvertown Tunnel – which is backed by Greenwich – at the same meeting.
Deputy mayor Alan Smith said: "The proposed Silvertown Tunnel relies on the same southern approaches as the existing Blackwall Tunnel. These routes, including the A2 area and the South Circular, already suffer from daily congestion. As the only primary alternative to the Dartford crossings, these routes come under extreme pressure when the M25 is not operating smoothly. The council therefore has reservations about the impact of an additional 6,000 vehicles per hour on these routes."
Other London boroughs, including Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Barking & Dagenham and Redbridge, have also voiced opposition or reservations about mayor Boris Johnson's plan. In the affected area, only Greenwich and Tory Bexley are wholly for it.
Fancy starting Blackheath fireworks? You could for a fiver…
There are two events which make living in this part of London like no other. Both of them involve big crowds and take place on Blackheath. One is the London Marathon, the other is Blackheath fireworks. This year's event is less than three weeks away – it's on 2 November at 8pm.
Of course, the continuation of the Blackheath fireworks display is no thanks to Greenwich Council, which yanked its £37,000 funding away from the event three years ago, leaving Lewisham Council in the lurch.
Lewisham could have scrapped the event, which attracts up to 100,000 people, or moved it to another open space. But to its credit, it's continued.
Back in 2010, deputy leader Peter Brooks claimed Greenwich Council couldn't afford it, a whopper so big it could be seen from space.
This poverty didn't stop the council handing over £20,000 towards the cost of fireworks to help promote a private company, Sail Royal Greenwich, back in August, according to an answer given under the Freedom of Information Act. And last year, it blew £114,000 on fireworks and other public events to mark royal borough status. Three years on, the decision still rankles, and the real reason for pulling out has never been given.
So ever since then, Lewisham Council's shouldered the responsibility of raising the cash for the event on its own – even if the firing site's been outside its borders. The event's always had some kind of sponsorship, but Lewisham has tried to come up with fundraising wheezes that make the community feel part of the event – something its self-styled "royal borough" neighbour singularly fails to do.
This year's is simple. Pay a fiver, and you'll get put into a prize draw where you can win the chance to press the plunger to start the display, along with getting a behind-the-scenes look at how it's all done. You can enter as many times as you like, and it doesn't matter where you live.
Of course, it'd be GREAT if someone from this side of the border won the prize – so go on, stick a fiver in and remind our neighbours we're not all hypocritical miseries over here.
Thought Greenwich Council was too skint for fireworks?
Three years ago, Greenwich Council decided to pull out of funding the annual fireworks display on Blackheath, pleading poverty. The £37,000 cost was, according to deputy leader Peter Brooks, equivalent to one mayoral piss-up at the Naval College full-time job.
"I could give 65 million reasons why we didn't pay," Brooks told a council meeting in October 2010, referring to government cuts in the council's budget. "£37,000 is equivalent to a job and a bit."
So Lewisham Council was left in the lurch – but has continued to shoulder the entire cost of funding the phenomenally-popular event.
Fast forward to 2013, and Greenwich Council can suddenly afford not just one set of fireworks, but five…
(Video from Greenwich.co.uk)
Pyrotechnics lit up the skies over Greenwich last night and Wednesday night, and will again tonight (at 9.15pm); and there's be more fireworks over Woolwich tomorrow and Sunday nights (both 9.45pm).
All very nice (and very loud), although I've not heard of huge crowds surging to Greenwich to see them, despite council tweets suggesting people "arrive early".
Heaven knows how many jobs those whizz-bangs were worth. But why? Well, it's all part of Greenwich Council's bid to host the 2016 Tall Ships Race, which involved a nice trip to Latvia for the Dear Leader and chums last year, roughly at the same time neighbouring Lewisham was concentrating on the threat to the local NHS.
But the fireworks also represent a substantial piece of tax-funded help for a private company, Sail Royal Greenwich, which is based in the council's supposed "digital hub" at Mitre Passage, by the Dome. Not only is it getting accommodation from the council, but it's also getting pyrotechnics funded to help its commercial offer – of trips up and down the Thames in tall ships – look that bit better.
Nice work if you can get it, and all that. All this generosity is aimed at securing the tall ships for 2016, and a hoped-for boost in tourism during that year. And a no-doubt impressive-looking set of photos for Greenwich Time, if they actually manage to get next week's issue out.
Is this a wise idea or not? Only the borough's taxpayers can decide. But the moral of Greenwich Council's new-found love for fireworks seems to be: whenever a Greenwich councillor says there's no money left for something, take it with a very big pinch of salt.
To donate to 2013′s Blackheath fireworks, due to take place on Saturday 2 November, visit www.lewisham.gov.uk/fireworks.

Blackheath Fireworks – don't be like Greenwich Council, cough up
In case you'd forgotten, the annual Blackheath fireworks display starts tonight at 8pm. More details are on Lewisham Council's website.
It's the third year that Greenwich Council has refused to fund the event, which attracts 100,000 people, sits squarely on the border of Lewisham and Greenwich boroughs and had been jointly-backed by the two councils for about 20 years before that.
Last year, the fireworks were actually launched from Greenwich's side of the heath.
In case you're thinking this is good old sensible Labour Greenwich putting local services ahead of whizz-bangs, unlike silly old er, Labour Lewisham, then it's worth remembering Greenwich pulled out to save £37,000. This year, Greenwich has treated its head of PR to a £25,000 pay rise, and has blown at least £114,000 on royal borough celebrations. The whole sorry tale of how Greenwich blew 2010′s fireworks cash on a booze-up for the mayor can be found in the archives.
If everyone who went to the fireworks gave a couple of quid, Lewisham would cover all its costs. So don't be like Greenwich Council, donate and enjoy tonight.
PS. There are extra Southeastern trains to Blackheath tonight – but watch your Oyster card.
Only a month to the Blackheath fireworks…
It's a quiet week here, but as the evenings get darker and colder, it's one in which to look ahead. We've been spoilt rotten for big events this year, but it's a month tonight until one of the highlights of the south-east London calendar – the Blackheath fireworks, which will be on 3 November.
No news yet from Lewisham Council on donations, but after a year of successful public events, hopefully Greenwich councillors might see the benefits, and make sure the "royal" borough, which actually hosted the display last year, pays its fair share again instead of a third year of sulking on the sidelines.
Well, we can dream, can't we?
(For new readers: the full story of how Greenwich left Lewisham in the lurch in 2010 – and blew the cash on a booze-up for the mayor instead.)
Blackheath fireworks – how Greenwich hosted it without paying
So, what did you make of last night's Blackheath fireworks? Not as good as last year? People always say that. But you could definitely feel the effects of the cost-cutting, I thought. Two years ago there was music, last year – after Greenwich Council pulled out – there wasn't, and this year it felt a little less intense.
As ever, though, all this things are subjective – music sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. And I'm spoilt because I've been to the Fallas displays in Valencia which do things you could never get away with in England (like starting at 1.30am).
Micro-gripes aside, it was great, kept me quiet for 20 minutes, and Lewisham Council deserves congratulations for organising a fine display.
Sharp-eyed viewers, however, might spot that the fireworks were launched from a slightly different location this year – the north side of the A2. Inside Greenwich Council's area – the same council that's refused to co-fund the fireworks for the second year running.
That's only 10 days after Greenwich's culture cabinet member John Fahy brushed off a question about his council funding the fireworks because it "takes place in Lewisham". It certainly didn't…
Presumably, that's because of the nippy south-eastern wind that was blowing across the heath last night. But it highlights the stupidity of Greenwich refusing to fund, and barely acknowledging, a major fireworks display which ended up taking place within its borders – yet still doling out cash for a drink-up to celebrate having a new mayor.
I'm pleased, however, that Cllr Fahy has posted here to say that there is "a strong argument for holding a firework display in Greenwich. Would this be supported?" Well, there was a fireworks display in Greenwich borough last night. It's just that Greenwich didn't pay for it.
The whole point of having a fireworks display on Blackheath – which has been running for about 25 years now, I reckon – was that it enabled both boroughs to pool resources to have a huge event on a big open space that's widely accessible by public transport from a wide area, and is close to scores of bars and restaurants who'll benefit from a boost in business.
The crowds outside the Vanburgh Tavern in Greenwich, a good 15 minutes from the fireworks, was proof of the boost the fireworks bring to both boroughs. There's no other location in Greenwich borough – nor Lewisham, for that matter – that can offer that.
So if Cllr Fahy wants some advice, here it is. Bin the mayoral booze-ups, put some money back into the Blackheath fireworks again, and support Lewisham's attempts to raise cash from businesses and the public. Greenwich Council's current stance embarrasses the people of the borough, all because of the council leadership's desire to make an empty political point. Well, they've done it, and we've seen through it.
It's time for Greenwich to swallow its pride, and get back on board with London's best fireworks display.

Greenwich Council hides from Blackheath fireworks again
It's Blackheath fireworks tonight – fingers crossed it doesn't rain on one of south-east London's best nights out. As hundreds of people stream up my road, in the London Borough of Greenwich, to watch the event, probably from vantage points in the London Borough of Greenwich, what is the London Borough of Greenwich doing to help out this year as our neighbours in Lewisham raise funds to keep the event going?
Not a lot. There's a page on Greenwich's website which simply suggests people look at Lewisham's site (which is probably there to avoid having an embarrassing "page does not exist" result), and despite Lewisham making a public appeal for funds, there's been no mention at all of the event in Greenwich's propaganda weekly, Greenwich Time, despite it being within earshot of tens of thousands of local homes.
Energetic SE10-based tweeter Lara Ruffle even asked if Greenwich would share Lewisham's appeal with its 3,242 followers…
@Greenwichcouncl As a good will gesture please could you tweet in support @LewishamCouncil's efforts to keep Blackheath fireworks going—
Lara Ruffle (@lararuffle) November 02, 2011
…to no response.
Here's the official line from culture cabinet member John Fahy. I'm not sure that final sentence actually make sense – but none of the councillors stuck around to ask, because they were more interested in cutting the meeting short for wine and sausage rolls at a function over the road.
Indeed, Lewisham – there be dragons over there! Here's a map of where to go tonight, with the borough boundary scrawled on top. As you can see, the event clearly has nothing to do with the borough of Greenwich whatsoever. Apart from the firework safety zone, spectator areas, road closures, five nearby stations…
So, what has Greenwich actually done with the £36,000 it would have spent on the fireworks this year? Well, we know that last year, it pulled out of Blackheath at short notice after having spent £29,000 on a private Royal Naval College ceremony to inaugurate then-mayor Barbara Barwick. After that, the fireworks contribution was permanently cut from the council's budget.
(There are other things you could point to, like the lavishly-funded Greenwich Festivals, but the fireworks and mayor's party came out of the same pot of cash.)
This year, the council still went ahead with a naval college ceremony to inaugurate current mayor Jim Gillman. As I understand it, from various sources, this was knocked down to £10,000 after some frantic negotiations with the Greenwich Foundation, which runs the old college campus. It agreed to allow the council to use the painted hall for free, for one year only. So if Greenwich returns next May, it'll have to pay full whack again.
Still, if Greenwich runs out of cash for its mayoral booze-up, perhaps it could ask the public to donate.
I'm sure we'd be only too happy to put our hands in our pockets once again to help our councillors enjoy themselves. If they want any advice on how to run a successful fund-raising campaign – they could always ask Lewisham Council…
Donate £3 to Blackheath fireworks by texting "Fireworks" to 70007 (70p of this goes to Breast Cancer Care) or give any sum you like by visiting www.lewisham.gov.uk/fireworks. And if you look north, you'll also see Tower Hamlets' display at Millwall Park.
Text Fireworks to 70007 to help Blackheath's big night
As we all know, Greenwich Council stopped paying its share of the bill for Blackheath fireworks last year, so it could spend the money on a behind closed doors booze-up for the mayor instead.
But Lewisham is carrying on with the fireworks display this year, despite the financial hit, after finding local businesses to sponsor it. It's also now unveiled a simple way for firework fans on both sides of the boundary, and beyond, to show their support for less than the price of a pint.
If you're planning to visit Blackheath Fireworks this year, remember the event is still free to attend. However, we'd love it if you could show your support for this hugely popular event by making an online donation (of any amount) to help us continue to make the skies sparkle over Blackheath in future years.

When Greenwich unveils a number where you can donate to the mayor's private piss-up, we'll let you know.
Sponsors' cash brings Blackheath fireworks back with a bang
Back from my travels, and it's good to have something to look forward to. Remember this?
Thankfully, that wasn't footage of the last ever Blackheath fireworks display, because it's back. Forget the heatwave, cast your mind forward 33 days to Saturday 5 November at 8pm, when the skies over Blackheath will light up once again.
Last year's fireworks were hit by a sudden budget shortfall when Greenwich Council pulled its £36,000 share of the funding for an event right on its border, preferring to put the cash towards a private mayoral booze-up and the "Greenwich Festivals" programme, while pleading poverty at the same time.
Lewisham ended up making up £25,000 of the shortfall through corporate sponsorship and public donations.
Since then, Greenwich has permanently cut funding for the event, although it still managed to find an extra £100,000 for the Greenwich and Docklands International Festival down some town hall sofa earlier this year.
Thankfully for local pyromaniacs, Lewisham Council has decided to keep the event going, and has secured sponsorship from the Clarendon Hotel and housing association L&Q to make sure this year's goes with a bang. I'm sure if you run a local business and want to be associated with something which attracts 100,000 people each year, Lewisham won't be turning you away, while there'll be a public collection on the night.
There's no word yet on whether Lewisham will accept old copies of Greenwich Time as donations from this side of the border. Crunched up, they make excellent fire-lighting material. If anyone wants to start a collection, maybe we can have a ceremonial burn-up…
'Olympics' festivals gained, fireworks lost council cash
A final (well, maybe) postscript to the farrago that was Greenwich Council pulling out of this year's Blackheath fireworks display came in a council scrutiny meeting earlier this month. You'll recall deputy leader Peter Brooks claiming this was down to "strict control over all expenditure", implying government-imposed cuts were to blame. Indeed, there have been attempts to paint the issue as "libraries versus fireworks".
But the papers put before the overview and scrutiny panel show this simply wasn't the case.
Bear in mind the fireworks – which eventually went ahead after Lewisham Council made a public appeal for donations – attracted an estimated 100,000 people to Blackheath two weeks ago. Greenwich saved £37,000 by not funding them. Instead, it spent the following – without any reference to elected councillors:
An extra £50,000 for the Greenwich and Docklands International Festival.
GDIF has been around in some form or other for many years – once it was just a dowdy Greenwich borough-only event best known for its opening fireworks in Cutty Sark Gardens, then sometime in the 1990s it expanded north of the river. Now it seems to be firmly focused on Greenwich itself, promoting a "a tour de force showcase of UK and international outdoor arts". You can see some of it above.
The extra cash was to see the event expand from four days to 10 days – bolstering Greenwich's contribution to £181,000. Or, as Peter Brooks might have put it in the council chamber, five jobs. It would see the event placed in "the top five UK festivals… Edinburgh, Manchester International, Brighton and Glastonbury" – it's not exactly clear how highbrow performance art compares with a ticketed weekend in a muddy field, but the justification was good enough for the cash to be handed over.
£15,000 for the Greenwich Comedy Festival
Considering the stonking cost of the tickets and the poor organisation the night I went, I was surprised to see taxpayers' money handed over for the comedy festival. If money's tight, should council cash be funding comedians to make us laugh? On the Brooks scale, it's half a job.
£15,000 for the Greenwich World Cultural Festival.
I hadn't heard of this until I saw the committee papers. Despite the name, the GWCF, "a free programme of dance, theatre, circus and music" took place at Eltham Palace on the afternoon of 4 July. The money was to support the involvement of Greenwich Dance Agency and Greenwich Theatre.
What have these all got in common?
All the cash from above came from "Cultural Olympiad funding held within the arts and culture section". A couple of years ago a couple of the borough's smaller arts projects had funding completely pulled and others saw cuts to fund these big-ticket projects under the guise of creating an Olympics buzz.
is this a wise way of spending public funds? That's down to you. But it's clear that there is a pot of cash available for funding cultural events – if the council had wanted to keep the fireworks going, it could simply have designated it part of the Cultural Olympiad. Pyrotechnics have always featured at modern Olympic Games, as students of opening ceremonies will know. But the display's funding was simply pulled, without reference to councillors and presumably to make a political point.
However, it's very hard to make that point when you're spending £30,000 on mayoral booze-ups and £15,000 on a bunch of comedians. Hopefully seeing their decisions pushed into centre stage will make Greenwich Council think a bit more carefully about their decisions – and will make those paid to scrutinise them raise their game as the really painful choices approach.
10:30PM UPDATE: Think all is sweetness and light between Greenwich Labour and Lewisham Labour after the fireworks fiasco? Think again.
"Some boroughs are getting rid of their fireworks displays as an easy way to save money. We aren't doing that."
Saucer of milk to Catford Town Hall?

"I don't think anyone in the school believed me when I explained that I had worked in artist management before coming to Korea and that I wanted to help the students write and record a song to be put on a label in America. The major argument I received was that the students weren't good enough to record. The owner of the music store next to our school went so far as to flat out refuse to put me in contact with recording studios in the area on those grounds. Nevertheless, Justin and I were both eager to expose these teenagers to a different musical process than that which is typical of the perfectionistic Asian pop music scene. Last October, ABC went behind the scenes of K-Pop music, but they only scratched the surface of what happens. In April, Hwan-Hee Lee (Fawney), a former trainee from the South Korea's mega-group Girls' Generation, spoke to the world about what Korea already knew: To be a musician in Korea, you must be perfect …."

At last, hedge funds admit they must solve image problem
Related Articles
Published: 27 March 2009
If the plummeting commodity, credit and share markets of recent months had not blown a hole in the performance and collective inflated ego of the hedge fund industry then the fact that some of its most feted names including Arki Busson, Nicola Horlick and RAB Capital's Philip Richards had invested and lost money in Bernie Madoff's bare-faced $50 billion Ponzi scheme, has undoubtedly grounded the whole industry.
Hedgies, just like everybody else, we found, can lose money. And then a curious thing. In the immediate aftermath of the Madoff scandal, there was a declaration by something calling itself the Hedge Fund Standards Board. Peopled by London's hedgerati - Man Group's Peter Clarke, Michael Hintze of CQS, Paul Marshall of Marshall Wace, Manny Roman of GLG and George Robinson of Sloane Robinson - the Hedge Fund Standards Board may sound something like the Mafia being self-policed by the Corleone family.
But the words of its chairman, former Goldman Sachs executive Antonio Borges, were stark: "The Madoff scandal highlights just how important it is to have independence of process in relation to administration of the fund and the valuation process. It also highlights the need for robust governance practices and oversight via independent boards which will challenge management procedures and behaviour."
It was time, Borges was almost saying, for the hedge fund industry to clean itself up. With Bernie behind bars, one of his victims - no less than London's biggest hedge fund manager, Man Group - has decided that if its franchise is to retain any credibility it has to act. The simple facts about Man in recent months are these: its profits have halved, $17 billion of funds have been withdrawn by investors - institutions and the world's richest families - and oh yes, one of its fund of hedge fund managers in its RMF arm had invested in and lost a cool $360 million in Madoff's fantasy funds.
At the time, FTSE 100-quoted Man Group said it was a victim of "a systematic and comprehensive fraud", but one which had "evaded a range of [Man Group] structural controls".
The fruits of that foul-up are now being addressed by Man. In a shake-up of its operations this week it is promising "increased transparency, governance and risk management". It is promising "a structure which separates investment management and oversight" and "enshrines an independent risk management function at the same level as investment management". And it promises a new "depth of due diligence" on behalf of its clients.
"As markets have changed, so have investor requirements for hedge fund investing," says Man chief executive Peter Clarke. "Performance remains an absolute requirement but transparency, governance and risk management are now at the top of investors' agendas.
"They are looking for providers with the scale, expertise and systems to deliver the enhanced transparency, institutional quality governance and stronger controls over invested capital they require."
Fine words but what do they mean? They mean that Man - and the rest of the industry - have not been at what is now considered to be best practice, that profits meant more than managing risk.
They mean that performance is not necessarily the priority: that funds that appear to be run with the integrity of visible oversight will be, reckons Man, more important to investors than those racier managers simply promising guaranteed returns of many percentage points over Libor.
And for the Man investor, a revolution. Man is effectively promising that it will now look a lot more like a traditional long-only investment fund; that investors will invest via managed accounts where they can see what they are investing in, will have some say over "mandate creep" when a manager is investing in what he should not, and have the capability to exit if they so wish on much better terms than hitherto.
"This is the way the industry is going," said a spokesman.
Is this the end of secrecy, arrogance and recklessness in the industry? "Smaller single-manager hedge funds have been accused of this," he said.
"What we would say is that the levels of regulation, compliance and oversight that are coming will be higher and that some may not have the scale to be able to cope."
A hedge fund industry that wants to be loved? The end of the spivvier, albeit plummy-toned, end of the industry? The ravens must be preparing to leave the Tower of London.

Why do I keep dreaming of events from the day before?
page: 1
log in
posted on Oct, 4 2008 @ 10:52 PM
I can never have any other type of dream now, like nightmares or dream things that are not possible. For example, yesterday I was thinking about my sister and how she wants to get a tattoo and wants me to go with her, also towards the end of the day at work I was reading an article in the newspaper of a woman who has cancer. So last night I dream that my sister has cancer. Can anyone help me understand what type of dreaming this is called?
posted on Oct, 4 2008 @ 11:07 PM
It sounds like you are thinking about they days events and dreaming about them.
The other night , my brother told me he is going to re-join the marines. That night I dreamt I was in the marines in special ops.
The same week, I watched the show office, that night I had a dream the guy in that show was my boss. I do it all the time. Kind of like when the last song I heard sticks with me even in the morning.

it's odd to me that u ask what kind of dreaming this is, because that is the basic idea of what a dream is to begin with. Any other type of dream about totally unfamiliar material and subject matter would be the exception, not the rule. are your dreams more often NOT about events going on recently? that would be strange. i'm not saying it's not possible, but generally people mix the recent events into a dream MUCH MUCH more than "unrelated" material.
posted on Oct, 5 2008 @ 04:19 PM
Yep, nothing unusual here. Just dreams of memories and their possibilities. Obviously the information was quite important and has found a place in your subconcious for easy retreival.
The ones you should pay attention to are dreams of the unknown or a possible future.
Roll with it! Have some fun with them and don't take them tooo literally. After all, they are a product of "your" imagination and subconcious, not the other way around.
I dreampt that I cut the throats of my mother and sister the other night.......uuuughh!
Don't worry, they're fine.
It's just information.....random and in sequence, to decipher the "direct" meaning is probably quite pointless, for me, it's a general "feel" of what's happening and not the direct image.
Good luck, be comfortable in your dreams, you are their master if you are a master who can understand yourself?
Tell your sister about your dream and tell her you love her. Even if she hears it often, tell her "why" you love her and your fear of losing her.
My own sister is still recovering from Leukemia, and believe me, the dreams, the meanings, the whole of life can be given a new perspective.......
How much love is felt in hindsight when it's too late to give.

Yes your dreams are obviously trying to tell you things that your subconsious cant tell you directly. this happens to most of us that dream regularly.
i use to heavily self medicate on pot before bed to avoid dreaming for almost 10 years, i would remember only the most vivid and elaborate dreams, and only about twice a year. after i stopped there was a flood of seriously vivid dreams for about 2 months once my system had started to clear, crazy things that i should have written down. i could have written some wild bestsellers

The Way to Happiness is a 1980 booklet written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard listing 21 moral precepts, and distributed by The Way to Happiness Foundation International, a Scientology-related non-profit organization founded in 1984. Translated into 70 languages , the booklet is used as part of Scientology's Criminon rehabilitation program and is promoted by Scientology celebrities. The unsolicited distribution of personalised copies of the booklet to schools and mayors' offices has caused controversy, and while it is promoted as secular in nature, critics have stated that it includes... ideas that are specific to Scientology, and is used as a recruiting tool. The Way to Happiness Foundation International is a non-profit 501, incorporated in 1984. Headquartered at 201 East Broadway, Glendale, California, the foundation coordinates the activities of the Way to Happiness international network, including continental and national officies, associates and local groups.more
Lafayette Ronald Hubbard , better known as L. Ron Hubbard , was an American pulp fiction author and the founder of the Church of Scientology. After establishing a career as a writer, becoming best known for his science fiction and fantasy stories, he developed a self-help system called Dianetics... which was first published in May 1950. He subsequently developed his ideas into a wide-ranging set of doctrines and rituals as part of a new religious movement that he called Scientology. His writings became the guiding texts for the Church of Scientology and a number of affiliated organizations that address such diverse topics as business administration, literacy and drug rehabilitation. Although many aspects of Hubbard's life story are disputed, there is general agreement about its basic outline. Born in Tilden, Nebraska, he spent much of his childhood in Helena, Montana. He traveled in Asia and the South Pacific in the late 1920s after his father, an officer in the United States Navy, was posted to the U.S. naval base on Guam. He attended George Washington University in Washington, D.C.more

The 1928 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the IX Olympiad, was an international multi-sport event which was celebrated in 1928 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Amsterdam had bid for the 1920 and 1924 Olympic Games, but had to give way to war-victim Antwerp, Belgium and Pierre de Coubertin's Paris, respectively. The only other candidate city for the 1928 Games was Los Angeles, which would host the Olympics four years later.
The United States Olympic Committee measured the costs and revenue of the 1928 Games in preparation for the 1932 Summer Olympics. The committee reported a total cost of US$1.183 million with receipts of US$1.165 million for a loss of US$18,000 - much less than that of the previous Games.
For the first time, the Olympic Flame was lit during the Olympics. The torch relay, however, would not occur until the 1936 Summer Olympics. These games were also the first to feature a standard schedule of 16 days, which is still followed. Previously, competition was stretched out over several months.

Mumbai, Aug. 20: Sebi has unearthed a large-scale SMS scam wherein fraudsters were luring gullible investors with promise of daily returns of up to Rs 75,000 through mobile text messages.
As an interim measure, Sebi has restrained two individuals and four entities associated with them from direct or indirect dealings in the securities markets till further direction. They have also been asked to desist from acting as investment advisers and portfolio managers.
Besides, they have also been asked to immediately withdraw all advertisements, representations, websites and other materials related to their advisory services.
The messages being circulated included promises of Rs 5,000-75,000 daily earnings in "equity and MCX market with our confirm intra-day tips" and the investors were asked to call on given numbers for "sure shot call".
Sebi obtained details of the call data records of the telephone numbers used for sending such texts. Thereafter, it conducted a surprise visit to the premises of one Imtiyaz Hanif Khanda and his maternal uncle Vali Mamad Habib Ghaniwala.
This is the first major case where Sebi has used its newly granted powers to access call data records of suspected persons, which it has got through changes in the regulations governing the securities markets through an Ordinance. Sebi has also got powers to conduct search and seizure operations.
Sebi's investigations found that the said persons through their proprietary concerns, Right Trade, Sai Traders, Bull Trader and Laxmi Traders, were providing unauthorised investment advice.
Besides, Right Trade was also soliciting business of portfolio management services from the general public without being registered as a portfolio manager.
The entities had also made misrepresentations by making unrealistic claims, false statements such as having offices in various countries, FII-based calls and jackpot calls.
"They also made representations in a reckless and careless manner in their messages and websites suggesting things which are not true," Sebi said.
Sebi said the entities "were engaged in providing intra-day tips for a consideration/profit sharing under a plan under which the trading tips were provided after depositing registration fees into the account of the entity as an advance".

FRENCH Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici says he believes the euro is possibly too strong, after it surged on foreign exchange markets last week.
"The euro is stable, the euro is strong, perhaps too strong in some regards," Moscovici told France 2 television, after the euro soared above $US1.36 on Friday.
The resurgent currency hit its highest level against the US dollar since mid-November 2011, lifted by renewed optimism about the eurozone and a key jobs report that showed reassuring US jobs data.
The euro also extended its rally in Asia and briefly fetched 126.97 yen, its highest level since the end of April 2010.
The French government is worried the currency's strength could dampen exports.

aka: B-FieLd or the Fields. The 'ghettos' of Bergen COunty- the men: strong, tough, and can outdrink anyone you know and the Ladies are tough, witty, can outdrink anyone you know, and easily steal your boyfriend- just as easily as we stole the Hollister shirts we're wearing. We don't act hard because of the fact that we are 10 minutes away from the city- and more inner-city residents send their kids to our high school, or because every party ends in a fight-- but we act hard because we literally could kick the shit outta any other town around. We carry our Coach bags proudly- probably because they are fake- and we look forward to running into those "Dousche-mont" kids and New Milford losers at our 7-11 or "Club Wendy's". Deep down, we're hated.. but it's only because they wish they were us. Tenafly- with their preppy outfits, and new Mercedes cars, and Old Tappan- which is a wannabe Tenafly- ain't got shit on us. So, yes, maybe there are more Phillipinos living under one roof than you have living on your whole block- but we represent the dirty Jersey to the fullest- and what would Bergen County be without its' projects?
Yo, I went to that party in Bergenfield, and I was scared for my life-- there were Phillipinos everywhere and most of the kids had guns.

Can I Do Invisalign with Severe Crowding?
- Asked by goddess2222 in Vancouver
- 4 years ago
I have crowded teeth with a v-shaped arch: one maxillary lateral incisor behind one of my central incisor (but not completely), exclusion of lower eye teeth and two impacted wisdom teeth (but plan to have all 4 removed anyways). Probably could do orthodontics with extraction or only extraction on lower arch. However, I'm wondering if and how I could do Invisalign, i.e. length and rough price? I can upload picture to help.
You most likely should consider full ortho with brackets
Invisalign is designed to do minor tooth movement and is limited in how much it can move teeth. Your case sounds like it needs full occlusal (bite) and esthetic realignment.
Invisalign for Crowded Teeth
Invisalign is an excellent treatment for crowded teeth. It may take a little longer (12-18 months as opposed to 6-12 months), however the technology is excellent and does a GREAT job correcting overcrowding. Definitely get all 4 wisdom teeth removed -- if you do so prior to Invisalign, the treatment may move along more quickly.

US infuriated by Pakistan's go-slow war |
struggling |
05/13/02 at 20:00:47 |
[slm] US infuriated by Pakistan's go-slow war Rory McCarthy in Islamabad Monday May 13, 2002 The Guardian The first splits in America's alliance with Pakistan in the war against al-Qaida began to emerge last night as officials in Washington complained about the slow pace of military operations in Pakistan's sensitive tribal areas. US intelligence analysts believe several hundred al-Qaida fighters have fled across the Afghan border into Waziristan, the southernmost of Pakistan's lawless tribal agencies. Pentagon officials have pressed the military regime in Islamabad to take action but they are facing strong resistance, according to a report in yesterday's Washington Post. "We've been after them to attack and we haven't made much progress," one senior defence official told the paper. Another official said: "We are trying to encourage, wheedle, coerce, urge the Pakistanis to move more aggressively. We've had some success but movement is slow." Hundreds of British Royal Marines have been deployed in south-east Afghanistan, directly across the border from Waziristan. Although the Marines have found large concentrations of ammunition there has been little sign of al-Qaida fighters. Islamic clerics in Pakistan have grown increasingly angry about the presence of American troops operating in the tribal areas. The hardline Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam party, which had close links with the Taliban, held protests across the North-West Frontier province last Friday. "The presence of US troops and raids on madrassahs [seminaries] are unacceptable for the independent people of Pakistan," the party's leader, Maulana Fazal-ur Rehman, said. A rocket was fired on Friday at a school in Miram Shah in Waziristan where US troops are staying. It was the second such attack in two weeks but again the rocket missed its target. The Pakistani army, which has longstanding and complex ties with the religious right, is reluctant to risk creating any more opposition from the clerics who could be a useful ally for the military ruler General Pervez Musharraf in the elections due in October. In an interview with foreign reporters earlier this month Gen Musharraf admitted operations in the tribal belt were extremely sensitive. In contrast to American intelligence, he said there were no large concentrations of al-Qaida fighters in the area. "If you think they have come here and taken over whole chunks of territory and established themselves, no, this is just out of the question, this is not possible at all, zero possibility," he said. "A small number of infiltrations, in terms of four or 10 or eight people, small groups or parties, is a possibility." At the same time Pakistan's generals are deeply concerned about the eastern border with India where hundreds of thousands of soldiers have been deployed on either side of the border at a state of high alert since December, when the two countries came close to their fourth war. Major-General Rashid Qureshi, a Pakistan military spokesman, said the stand-off with India was limiting operations on the Afghan border. "We are being distracted in the war against terrorism on our western border with Afghanistan which we are not able to seal as effectively as we would like," he said. "The US and the western world need to tell India to back off." In Karachi police investigating last week's suicide bombing which killed 14 people, including 11 French submarine engineers, have arrested five new suspects. http://www.guardian.co.uk/pakistan/Story/0,2763,714637,00.html |

[slm] Inshallah the Pakistani muslims will crush the US invasion in pakistan. Mushrraf now knows he cannot do as he pleases, and with the pakistan army divided between siding with the kaafirs and siding with the muslims, Musharraf has no choice now but to reduce his "full co-operation" with the kaafir crusaders. |

I have to say i thought at first that USA was the problem and Israel was the problem, But looking at the muslim world i think that muslims ourselves are the problem. Yeh USA and Israel have some input but only because we let them. Sadam Hussain Massacred Kurdish muslims, Barhanudin Rabbani (once an Afghan President) massacred loads of Afghans, these are muslim people. We are so involved in this dunya, that we don't look at ourselves and the sins we comitt. Why should Allah (SWT) answer our prayers when we cannot even follow simple rules that he has bestowed on us. Our prophet (SAW) said that we are the best Umah cos we haven't seen him yet we still believe in him and followed What allh has revealed through him(SAW), so why don't we act like the best Ummah, rather than fighting amongst ourselves. |

Watch Degrassi: The Next Generation
The show features a large cast of characters at different stages in their school careers and life paths. However, the original cast of Degrassi: The Next Generation from when the show premiered in 2001 no longer remains, as they have all moved on to other career endeavors. For example, Aubrey Graham's character of Jimmy Brooks has since become a rap star in the United States and Canada known as "Drake", and has enjoyed much success with this career in music.
Degrassi: The Next Generation premiered in 2001 and is now going into its tenth season with a completely new cast, or "generation", as the title of the show suggests. In fact, the new season will be the first season to incorporate the new name change of the show from Degrassi: The Next Generation to simply Degrassi.
As mentioned above, the show is known for taking on realistic topics that teenagers often go through, even if they are controversial. For example, Degrassi has aired episodes related to school shootings, teenagers "coming out" as being homosexual, eating disorders, affairs, characters being diagnosed with cancer, and much more. And while some of these topics have been controversial in nature, many of the show's fans appreciate the fact that there is a show that does not sugar coat the teenage experience and shows many pre-teens and teenagers that they are not alone.
While the cast of the show has changed over the years, the overall plot remains the same. And it seems as though the show will continue to tackle issues among teenagers in a way that is thought provoking and entertaining for people of all ages. Degrassi airs on various channels in Canada, the country where it is filmed. In the United States, it can be found on the Nickelodeon-owned network, "The N," among a few others that often show reruns.
