TWO teenagers who were part of a gang of criminals who raided and trashed a man's flat are behind bars.
Robbie Lunt, 18, and Corey Harrison, 19, were among four crooks who targeted the flat of Connor Stockdale, who they knew, after the victim had left his Padiham home to watch football with his father.
A television was among the haul taken last October and one of the thieves, captured on CCTV, was seen leaving with it up his jumper, Burnley Crown Court heard.
The hearing was told Mr Stockdale returned to his flat at about 11.45pm to find it had been broken into and the door open. He went in and found the property had been 'turned upside down'.
Lunt, of Rosegrove Lane, and Harrison, of Cardigan Avenue, both Burnley, admitted burglary and each was sent to custody for 21 months. Both have a record for burglary.
The court was told both defendants made no comment after they were arrested and interviewed. Lunt had claimed he didn't actually go into the flat.
Nick Dearing, defending both, said Lunt at least regretted that he got involved.
He had burgled his father's home when he was 15, after the victim confiscated his PlayStation.
Harrison only had one previous conviction, when he was a youth. He seemed to have no motivation.
He was a young man who had no idea of the enormity of what he had got himself into.
Mr Dearing said: "There is nothing stopping him from becoming a productive member of society."
Passing sentence, Recorder Roderick Carus, QC, told the pair: "You have never made any effort to live productive lives. You have been drifting around, drinking and drugging, an accident waiting to happen in your own lives, lurking around the urban area of Padiham, making no contribution whatsoever.
"You can live your life how you wish, of course, but both of you have committed burglary before, you, Lunt, twice, and if young men don't realise that it's a very serious matter, it's about time they did."
The judge said the gang had set about 'gratuitously trashing' the victim's home while helping themselves to what they wanted.
He told the pair nobody liked sending anyone to prison, but one of his duties was to protect the public.
Recorder Carus added: "Some people come out having learned a lesson. Let's hope you two do."

What is the Difference Between A Lawsuit, Judgment and Lien?
Many debtors get nervous when all these legal terms start to get thrown around. We are going to explain what each of these are so that you will have a better idea of what you may be dealing with. We will focus on the civil side of things and how they relate to bankruptcy filings.
Say you owe a credit card company $4,000 and you cannot afford to pay them anymore. After several months of not receiving any payment from you, they may choose to sue you for the amount you owe them. This is a lawsuit. They will file it with the court saying they want to take legal action against you for the money you owe them. Once you receive a lawsuit, you typically have 30 days to respond. It is usually best to respond because it will buy you some time so you can figure out what you would like to do before they get a judgment.
If you do not respond to that lawsuit within the certain amount of time, the court will set a date for a hearing. Usually at this hearing your creditor will ask for a judgment against you. This means you now have a court order that is requiring you to pay the money you owe to the creditor. If you fail to pay your creditor after they receive a judgment, the court could place a lien on the property.
One of the most common things that can be called a lien is a mortgage. You took out a loan that is secured by a home. If a creditor obtains a judgment against you in court, that judgment could possibly attach to your home or other property as a lien. That debt that you owe the creditor for the judgment is now secured by your home or other property. You typically must satisfy (or pay) the lien off in full before you are able to sell or transfer the property. In North Carolina, a lien can last for 10 years and then be refilled for an additional 10-year period if it has not been executed or satisfied. This is another incentive to get you to pay that debt. Bankruptcy can help get that lien off your property, but an additional motion must be filed.

Promising Patios
Spring has fully sprung now, triggering the annual lemminglike surge of Houstonians determined to defy the elements and dine alfresco. Several area restaurants have answered nature's call with new or refurbished patios; here's a rundown of where to eat "out" when you really mean "out of doors."
The original Carrabba's [3115 Kirby, (713)522-3131] recently put the finishing touches on its new patio seating area, hedging the weather bet with clear plastic sheeting on shade rollers to preserve its cool within. (Is Houston the only city brash enough to air-condition outside as well as in?) Recent drive-bys report window tables already full; the tile-floored patio can seat up to 50 diners.
Over in Montrose, the venerable Baba Yega [2607 Grant, (713)522-0042] has embarked on an ambitious renovation and expansion program after remaining largely unchanged for some 25 years. "It's funny to think that now we've got more room outside than inside," jokes manager Anne Hetmaniak. In addition to the existing patios front and rear, Baba Yega has added a new airy garden veranda with green-tinted wood flooring, a waterfall and a pond, complete with a resident duckling named Bleu. "He was one of those post-Easter orphan ducks," explains Hetmaniak. "Now he lives with us and the parrots and keeps everybody happy."
Stay tuned for more developments at Baba Yega -- and even more decking -- as the upstairs "Jasmine Room" is scheduled for makeover and expansion in June and July. Plans for the private party room include an upstairs deck, shaded by trees and overlooking the garden.
A few blocks to the west, Mark's American Cuisine [1658 Westheimer, (713)523-3800] is also in the throes of renovation; but Mark's, on the other hand, has decided to close up its side patio. "We can seat up to 40 more diners this way," our hostess explained apologetically. The new room, gently lit from above by skylights, will be used for private parties or overflow seating from the main dining room.
Downtown and in the Rice Village, chef/restaurateur Arturo Boada has big plans for both his patios. Outside his groundbreaking Solero [910 Prairie, (713)227-2665], the noisy, dirty street work should soon be finished; within the next three weeks Boada promises picturesque sidewalk seating, cafe-style, with a fountain.
He envisions more modest improvements for Solero's sibling, Sabroso Grill [5510 Morningside, (713)942-9900], which doubled its size back in January after taking over its next-door neighbor, a hapless yogurt shop. We agree with Boada on this: Sabroso's existing patio is too small and utterly charmless. "We're going to fix that patio so that it's nicer to look at," he says. "We'll put in something pretty to look at, maybe a wrought-iron gate, some plants and so forth."
What we weren't able to get out of Boada is when or where the next Sabroso is slated to open. Yes, there will be another Sabroso, but... "Things are at a very delicate stage right now," he said. "I don't want to say anything that will make anybody upset." Ever the thoughtful one, Boada did disclose that he has narrowed the potential sites to two finalists: either way north in The Woodlands or further west in the Galleria. "We're working on it. More than that, I cannot say," he added.

To the Editor:
After reading last week's letter, "Marriage Equals One Man and One Woman," I began to recall the many conversations I've had about critical issues with my Democratic friends. Some are concerned about helping the poor get back on their feet, others are concerned about ensuring Medicare and Social Security stay solvent and others are passionate about driving innovation to create more good-paying jobs for the middle class.
But the one issue that unites us all is — you guessed it — legalizing man/boy and human/animal sexual relations. Many thanks to last week's letter for illuminating the core issue that keeps us Democrats up at night. The allegation that Democrats spend their time worrying about the rights of sexual predators is the kind of reasonable and intelligent dialogue we need to have in this community.
My Democratic friends and I look forward to more absurdity like this that distracts from the real discussions about fixing health care, creating jobs, improving the economy and — yes — ensuring marriage equality for loving, consenting adults. — Ben Surma, Little Falls

DEXTER Season 7 Will Premiere in September!
Showtime has announced that Dexter season 7 and Homeland season 2 will be premiering on September 30th, 2012! Dexter will take the 9pm slot, and the Emmy-Award winning drama Homeland will hit at 10pm.
As of right now Dexter is Showtime's Number 1 rated series, pulling in an average of 5.5 million viewers in its sixth season across all platforms. As long as people keep watching, Showtime will keep it coming! I can't wait to see what happens with Dexter and Deb this next season! There's no doubt it's going to be insanely crazy. This is one of my favorite shows.
Homeland averaged around 4.4 million viewers in its first season, and its finale clocked in around 5 million viewers, which makes it Showtime's highest rated season-ender for the first season of a series. I enjoyed watching Homeland. It's a heavy show, and I'll be back to to see what happens in season 2.
Of course I'm more excited for Dexter. What show are you most excited for?

Profits, Social Awareness Can Mix Very Well
As investors, many of us probably have acquaintances who view our profession with disdain. Mention investing, capitalism or money, and the stereotypes instantly kick in: robber barons, greed at all cost.
This is unfortunate, but more often than not, these prejudices against capitalism and investing are often borne by people who know very little about the profession. Every profession has its unscrupulous lot, and judging an industry by its outliers is a rather narrow-minded viewpoint....422 more words left in this article.

Buckcherry Will Take It to a New Level on Next Record
The upcoming Buckcherry album won't be an experimental jazz record, but it could be very different than anything they have ever done before.Buckcherry is currently writing new tunes for their sixth album, with plans to move into the studio in early 2012. Guitarist Keith Nelson says the band plans to advance their sound beyond what they have done on their last five records. Nelson states Buckcherry is going to "shoot for the stars on this with everything around the record, from the concept to the packaging. We're really just trying to take it to the next level."
The new disc, due out possibly in the late spring, will follow up 2010's rocker "All Night Long".

James Dennin, Kapitall: Chrysler is one of many companies trying to capitalize on the hot stock market by filing Initial Public Offerings. There's a lot of IPO talk these days. Everyone's tweeting about Twitter, and companies from Re/Max to Burlington Stores are looking to take advantage of a sizzling stock market by going public. However one of the really interesting stories amongst all the IPO drama that's unfolding this fall is about one company whose CEO doesn't even want to bring his company public at all: Chrysler. Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchione has been trying to consolidate his stake in the car manufacturer within his other company - Fiat (OTCPINK:FIATY) – a somewhat cash-strapped Italian automaker. Analysts have downgraded Fiat's stock, and its average target price is about half of what it's trading today. They argue that Marchione needs full control of Chrysler (along with access to its revenues) to revive Fiat's sales and create a global competitor in the car market. Chysler has been one of the biggest successes of President Obama's controversial bailout of the automobile industry. The company was losing almost $17 billion a year in 2008, but now is highly profitable. Sales are up, and Chrysler is even trying to diversify. It owns General Electric Vehicles, which develops residential, "neighborhood cars" that are entirely electric. It has also been making inroads in China for one of its most successful and recognizable brands: The Jeep. Chrysler mostly makes bigger cars - Jeeps alone represent a whopping 33% of its global sales - and that number is expected to grow. Marchione has brought the company a long way in only a few years, although now his plans for the company's next stage of development may be stymied by talks with the United Auto Workers. The Union took a huge risk when it accepted Chrysler shares as part of a settlement (considered close to worthless at the time) to create a fund for Chrysler retiree's healthcare. Now that those shares are valuable again the Union is (understandably) trying to cash in for top dollar.

Can We Expect This Member of Team Flash To Guest Star On 'Supergirl'?
Can We Expect This Member of Team Flash To Guest Star On 'Supergirl'? by Kurt Arthur , May 25th, 2016 at 8:15am Share on Facebook Share to TwitterTHERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR THE FLASH 'THE RACE OF HIS LIFE'There's one more episode, right? No. I'm totally disappointed with the season finale of The Flash for many reasons. Last year's finale, well, was one of the best episodes I've ever seen on television. This season's wasn't horrible, wait, yeah, it kinda was.Firstly, Jay Garrick, is Barry's dad's doppelganger from Earth-3 (I'm down with that). It would make sense that he is The Flash from Supergirl's Earth, right? We learned last night that in previous episodes — if a speedster goes fast enough, then they can open a portal to another universe. Basically, it's the only other Earth we could possibly care about and it'd allow him to guest star on later episodes.The FlashNow, I have no clue on exactly what are Barry's ramifications from saving his mom and what it means for next year (I'll theorize later). I'd love see Supergirl on Barry's world and it's a possibility now.One must conclude; the reason Kara hasn't heard of The Flash — is because Zoom had him imprisoned. Now, if they still have Kara on a different Earth when she premieres on The CW, then we should see Jay Garrick be The Flash for her world, right?I loved Garrick's outfit and I loved how it kinda looked like the 90's Flash costume! Yet, why did Hunter put him in an iron mask? I need to watch it once more and because maybe I missed something. So, he was running around different worlds and he only found, Jay Garrick? I'm done speculating on this season.I believe if Supergirl stays in a different universe, then we'll see Jay Garrick show-up and help her out as well (Henry is too damn like-able)! I'm sure that people in Texas, they don't talk about how great of a Running Back, Barry Sanders, was (he's the G.O.A.T). I think this is how people view their superheroes (I don't know, you never hear how great Green Arrow is in Central City?). Thus, explains why we've never heard of Garrick on Kara's Earth.WHY DID BARRY SAVE HIS MOM – BESIDES THE OBVIOUS?I'm still reeling on why Barry went back and saved his mom. I've read Flashpoint and I saw the animated movie (God DAMMIT, Barry better not lose his powers again.). I'm not quite sure how they're going to do this on The CW. Didn't that just neglect everything that went down in Season One? Holy shit, Barry basically had a tantrum and now he possibly f*cked the whole world up.I thought this was a set point in time and nothing could change it (I have a headache). It makes total sense that Harry Wells went back to Earth-2, because now, we actually can meet Earth-1's Harrison Wells next season. Will Eddie be back? I don't know, but Kal-El it's confusing! How will the world change? You'd think this would be exciting, but it's not for me. I'm sure some people love this episode, but it'd left me with a horrible feeling that my favorite show… is gone… in a… blink!WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE FLASH 'THE RACE OF HIS LIFE'?

(Can't get much more clever with a title, can you??)
One thing I've mentioned briefly in previous posts is how Foxy and I were shooting for a cocktail-esque reception. The two of us have always agreed that cocktail hour is consistently our favorite part of the weddings we've attended, so we figured…why not just have our whole wedding be like that?! (In all honesty, we really just wanted a fun wedding without a formal sit-down dinner, so cocktail style seemed to be the way to go.) We worked with the Vandiver during our two-year planning period to figure out how to make the reception different enough from cocktail hour to be discernible, but also to still keep it relatively casual and cocktail-y.
The result was a nice mix of high-top tables spread throughout the pavilion and surrounding property, with five large round tables in the middle for folks to sit at should they want to (with a few reserved specifically for family).
All photos by Exclamation Imagery unless otherwise noted.
I'm still obsessed with our linens. I also never thought I would utter those words.
Photo by Mrs. Pony
The actual food stations were spread throughout the pavilion, which successfully kept people moving about and mingling for a large portion of the evening. So no, we didn't technically have enough seating available for everyone to sit down at the same time…but that was kind of the point. As far as I'm aware, it actually worked out really well!
And so, after our teary-eyed and laugh-worthy toasts were over, our food stations officially opened up for everyone to enjoy. Yay food!
I don't have too many pictures of the food itself since we gave our photogs the go-ahead to relax for a few minutes and get themselves a bite to eat (you know, instead of just watching everyone else eat…that can't be fun). However, I can tell you that I personally dug into anything and everything that John (the owner of our venue) brought over for Foxy and me to eat. I can also tell you that there was absolutely a good five minutes where I was completely by myself at a high-top cocktail table, stuffing my face.
So…yes. I ate at my wedding. I ate a lot.
And since we don't have any photo documentation of my little food-party-for-one, why don't I show you bits and pieces of the rest of the (freaking delicious) grub we had spread out?
There was chilled tomato soup and caprese salad…
Photo by Mrs. Pony
…made-to-order pasta with different noodles, sauces, and toppings…
…freshly cooked and carved smoked turkey and beef tenderloin…
…and made-to-order crepes that transitioned from sweet to savory throughout the course of the reception!
You guys…I know most everyone says that the food at their own wedding was the best ever, but let's be serious. This food was the. best. ever. We're still getting random compliments about how scrumptious it was! (Not to toot my own our venue's horn or anything.) (toot toot)
I also like to think that the food was only enhanced by the atmosphere that the Vandiver staff, Officiant Em, MOH Copper, and many other friends and family managed to create earlier that day. I'm still amazed that my broad concept of flowers, Mason jars, lanterns, lace, chalkboard signs (you know, all that quintessential rustic-wedding type stuff) somehow managed to come together in a relatively cohesive way!

While these bits and pieces of the overall picture made me all warm and fuzzy inside on their own, seeing it all together—from a distance, almost—somehow made it even more magical. Everything was really representative of Foxy and me, and you could just see the love that went into the planning, coordinating, and beauty of it all.
One thing I want to throw out there, especially for brides who are still in the planning phase—try not to get too caught up in the whole "it's so overdone" mindset/judgement. Does "rustic chic" seem to be the new buzzword in wedding land? Absolutely. Do most people even have a clue what that means, or have they seen it before? Probably not. My wedding decor may seem pretty generic to a few people who are immersed in the wedding world, but believe you me—the majority of our guests (even those recently married or in planning stages) were amazed by the amount of personal touches and detail we put into things. Just do you, whatever that may be. Foxy and I did simple, rustic beauty, and we couldn't have been happier. Sure, I had a bajillion and one sources of inspiration to choose from thanks to lots of other people thinking along the same lines, but whatever. I liked it. And if anything, it made my job easier!
Enough about the details…I think it's high time we got to some dancing, don't you?!
Miss a recap? Catch yourself up!
- It's Wedding Week! – The week of the wedding started out pretty hectic, but we made it through (relatively) unscathed.
- We're Cool People (who had to deal with a slight change of plans) – On Friday, we made our way to the venue, had a relatable moment on the radio, and learned about some last minute changes that we made an effort to take in stride.
- Practice Makes Perfect…And Crabs Don't Hurt, Either – After most everyone was settled in on Friday evening, we had our rehearsal followed by the best dinner ever—a Maryland crab feast!
- Rise and Shine! – Wedding morning was soon upon us, and I woke up at the crack of dawn ready to get prettified.
- Pretty Women – Over the course of the next several hours, the girls and I hung out, got our hair and makeup done, had a photo shoot, and drank champagne.
- Dressing Up – Soon enough, it was time for me to slip into my dress!
- Dapper Dudes – At the same time, Foxy and his guys were ironing and getting into their suits—and Foxy was opening his wedding-day gift!
- The First of Many Looks – We had our first look, and both felt so much better after being able to see each other for the first time that day.
- A School Bus Photo Shoot – Our vehicle of choice for the day was a school bus, which we turned into a photo-op both inside and out!
- Smiles and Sun – The photos continued by the lighthouse and pier…with sunglasses and a few funny stories along the way.
- ALL the Family – We then met up with family at the lock house for even more pictures, and I started getting a bit antsy and having problems with my dress.
- And Then There's Us – I kinda-sorta-maybe forgot all about couple and bridal pictures. Thank goodness for our amazing photog reminding us!
- Final Touches – Slight chaos then ensued in the minutes before the ceremony started, consisting of me getting sewn into my dress and the boys getting their bouts pinned on at the last minute.
- And So It Begins – The guests arrive, the wedding party lines up, and the ceremony space is revealed—complete with programs, white knots, and bubbles!
- All I Want Is You, Will You Be My Bride? – The time had finally come—we all made our way down the aisle while my stepdad and stepbro played and sang a beautiful, acoustic version of "All I Want Is You."
- Take Me by the Hand and Stand by My Side – In other words…the ceremony!
- Bubbles and Bustles and Beverages, Oh My! – Bubbles are blown, my bustle is tied in, and cocktail hour commences with lots of love, hugs, and drinks.
- The Guestbook – The final version & reveal of our fingerprint guestbook—and some tips, should you want them!
- I'd Do Anything For You – The reception kicked off with our oh-so-intricate first dance sway to "Wake Up" by Coheed and Cambria, which our guests joined in on halfway through.
- Make 'em Laugh, Make 'em Cry – Which is exactly what we did, thanks to our bestest friends' amazing and beautiful toasts.

Chance of St Margaret's bursary for Calne and Chippenham youngsters
7:00am Thursday 5th June 2014
7:00am Thursday 5th June 2014
Pupils from local schools in Calne and Chippenham attended an academic bursary assessment day at one of Wiltshire's top independent schools.
St Margaret's Preparatory School, Calne, runs the day for children who are interested in obtaining a place in Year 3 or above.
This year, children are aiming to secure places in both Year 3 and 4 from September 2014.
The awards come at the same time as the school is celebrating success for its Year 6 pupils who have once again all gained entry to their chosen senior schools, many with scholarships which recognise outstanding ability in areas which include academia, sport and the performing arts.
Headmistress Karen Cordon said: "I would like to congratulate all of our pupils who have passed entrance exams and won scholarships.
"They have all worked very hard to achieve success. We are also delighted that we are able to offer bursaries to local pupils.
"Our intention is to extend our education opportunities to the wider community and to those children who show academic promise, but whose families have limited financial means."

PESHAWAR, Oct 26: Acting central secretary general of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, women's wing and MPA Shazia Aurangzeb on Friday criticised Begum Tahira Bukhari and Begum Shaheen Habibullah for posing themselves as the provincial president and general secretary of the said wing.
"There is no women's wing in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The two women are part of a settlement brokered by our leader Nawaz Sharif between Pir Sabir Shah and Ameer Muqam groups," she told a news conference here at Peshawar Press Club.
The PML-N women wing leader said there were differences between Pir Sabir Shah and Ameer Muqam groups, which were settled by Mr Sharif by adjusting members of both sides in the party. She added that the two women belonging to Ameer Muqam group were part of the adjustment.
She said both the women called themselves to be provincial president and general secretary respectively but they in fact had no office of the women's wing.
Ms Aurangzeb said the PML-N women's wing had yet to be established at grassroots level. She said formation of units on union council level was her priority.
"200 women will work for the party under supervision of five women organisers, while a woman coordinator will lead the unit," she said. — Bureau Report

Website for Married People Looking for Extra Booty Ranks Houston
Website for extramarital booty calls ranks Houston, again.
There's probably a marriage counseling session going on right now where one of the spouses is talking about porn sites she found on her computer's web browser. Maybe there are some texting conversations that are clearly over the line on another spouse's smartphone, or a dress with some strange stains that appear somewhere under the neckline.
If any of that is going on in Houston, then it's probably happening in Sugar Land or West University, the top two spots on AshleyMadison.com's recent survey of cheaters. You see, the website, created 12 years ago, keeps itself in the media by doing these surveys of its user base in particular cities and countries. Houston-area memberships grew by about 72 percent in the past two years to 160,000, according to the report.
Roy Wooten, a local marriage counselor, said he's heard about the website in sessions he conducts at Jersey Village counseling center Shield-Bearer. "In my opinion, sites like AshleyMadison.com add to the disintegration of the family. Someone who's thinking about cheating has an easier time," he said.
As to the locations that regularly pop up on this survey, places with median incomes in the six figures, the demands of a commuting work life take their toll. "Wealthier families are emotionally bankrupt," Wooten told Hair Balls. "They spend all their time commuting or running the kids around. They're not connected to each other."

AshleyMadison is that Pandora's box, only you should probably stock up on condoms if you're going to go open it.
While sexless marriages are to blame, or are at least the reason why AshleyMadison.com seems to prosper, Wooten said it's the symptom of a bigger problem in the relationship. It's never just one person's problem, either. Women, he said, are more likely to use the site for emotional connection and getting to know someone who can tell them things their spouse doesn't. "They're first looking outside [the relationship] for emotional support," he said. Men, according to Wooten, who published a book last year called The Secret to Lifetime Love, are pretty much into it for the sex. "It's the beginning of the end of the relationship," he said.
We won't go all hardcore anti-AshleyMadison.com. There has to be a place for cougars to go hunting. The site said that membership is nearly an even split between men and women. The Houston Chronicle did a short write-up on the rankings from the recent report:
- Sugar Land, where 8.9 percent of the organization's Houston-area members live.
- West University is close behind at 8.8 percent.
- Baytown comes in at 8.4 percent.
- Eastwood, just east of downtown, has 7.8 perrcent.
- Larchmont, south of the Galleria, has 7.5 percent.
- Braeswood comes in at 7.1 percent.
- Westchase comes in at 6.6 percent.
- Kingwood comes in at 6.5 percent.
- River Oaks comes in at 6.3 percent.
- Meyerland comes in at 6.1 percent.

I have a female best friend who I have been friends for about a year she first called me her bff. lol. Anyways, we both work at the same company just different jobs and different buildings so we rarely see each other at work sometimes we will see each other at our cafeteria, but we always talk to each other every night. It's cool that we talk to each other each time, but I'd like to hang out with her as well on a weekend. Recently she has been talking with this guy who works with her, he knows who I am and we're cool. My friend is a single mom and she can't really go out as much because of her kid, the few times she can go out she wants to hang out with the guy she talking with, and I encourage that, I want her to be happy but at the same time, yeah we do talk to each other each night but, would like to hang out as well since we rarely see each other. It's one thing that you talk, but you would like to see the person face to face as well. It's just that I always initiate to her let's hang out when you don't have your kid, but sometimes things come up with her and she can't which I understand but I feel like she doesn't take any initiative to ask me to go out or something, but when it comes the guy, she'll pretty much do whatever with him. I just feel that now she has someone she's interested in I feel I'm left out. I did talk to her about and she says that, he just happens to be at the right place at the right time which in turn I get that, but I wish she would tell me one time hey I don't have my kid, let's hang out. Is that too much to ask? Any tips would be help thanks
I feel like my best friend doesn't have time for me, what should I do?

Dude, start hanging out with guys. Girls aren't meant to be your friend, and as you've outlined, she isn't acting like a friend.
Friendships with girls do not work out. Maybe they work for three or four months, heck maybe a year. But eventually they all crumble.00|00|0

my 5 yr old over boistrous for his piers in school(106 Posts)
My 5 year old boy started a new school at the end of January and is apperntly beginning to settle. But other children are saying he is naughty and the teacher told me yesterday that he is being to boistrous for his piers and hurting them. He is big for his age, some of the children one child in particular is half is size.
A lot of the time he is joining in with rough play with the other boys one group in particular because he is the biggest the smaller ones generally end up being pushed over although he is doing the same as them (at lunchtimes) and other times he has pinched another child to stop them hurting a girl. he does that quite a lot he gets involved where he shouldnt.
he pushed over the small child in roleplay in class and he fell onto a plastic box resulting in a cut bottom. My child has had run ins with this boy previously where this boy was playing boxing and seeing who was the strongest and they grabbed each others face. The other boy got a scratch, apparently the apologised at the time to each other.
This is the one side of the problem he isnt hurting children out of anger or spite, but out of some misguided protecting them or because he is not playing gently enough and not thinking. (Not justifying what he is doing) we are constantly explaining/taking toys/early to bed etc to try and get the message through. He just does not think of the consequences, and it will begin to effect his friend making . He is really sensitive and his behaviour will spiral if he thinks he is being told off unfairly or if he is worried about getting into trouble he gets nightmares and cant sleep so we tend to have patches where he gets into a cycle of being overly boistrous and gets in trouble which increases the behaviour.
The other side is a maternal side where the mum of the small child is running to the school and have heard her forcing and leading explanations out of her child, when he clearly knows they were both playing. Because my son is so much bigger than hers i think she thinks he is bullying him when from what I can tell they are playing games they probably shouldnt be and they are both at fault.
It makes me feel isolated at the school gates and embarresed. I do speak to a couple of the other parents, but i feel like i constantly being watched. The other mum hasnt said anything to me and to be honest i wish she would so i could put people right. He has a baby sister and he is wonderful with her , he does what i say at home and is helpful, He is brilliant academically. He is mischievious and although does what i ask can struggle to stop when i tell him to stop doing something.
I dont know what to do. How can i make him be more mindful of his actions ?
Hi keepcoolcalmand collected, this thread is about a boy who is large for his age and who enjoys play fighting but he does not have the maturity of age to understand that what he regards as play is harming other children.
Even if 2 boys decide to rough play together, there has to be a certain amount of control in their behaviour towards each other.
Purples - Absolutely that's the whole point of this thread - his mother is asking for advice. No one on this thread is condoning rough behaviour.
Yes, and I have tried to offer the mother positive advice. Its a problem that it is in everyones interest in solving.
However, some people have tried to say that all boys enjoy play fighting, I was just pointing out that not all boys do.
To confirm the boys my ds is playing with definitely like to play rough he is not doing anything different to them and he comes home with marks etc aswell.
I do try and disuade the rough play and he has tried to tell them he doesn't want to play but he ends up playing with them any how. After all there his friends.
I am want to instill some self displine in him so he can say no and mean no. And I want to know that he can be gentle when playing these games so that he doesn't inflict an injury onto his friends. Especially as one of them is tiny and my ds is so big.
This weekend we have been doing some role play and exploring how different things make us feel. I have also been playing games so he can practice controling his strength. And we have been practicing calming down when he gets to excited.
I am looking at different sports and hopefully by the end of next term he will be settled and not having these issues. I worked out he has actually only been there 6weeks.
With respect I think we will have to agree to disagree.
From my own personal observations, I have NEVER yet seen a boy that hasn't play/pretend fought.
(Likewise I have also seen some very potentially dangerous and malious behaviour - ie. absolutely not play/pretend fighting).
Your children must be in the few that are the exception to the rule. I am not knocking this whatsover, on the contrary it is very good.
As you say Keepcalm and cool, we must disagree ( I hate generalisations about childrens behaviour, they are all unique; to say all boys play fight, is in a similar vein to saying all girls play with doll. But lets not get into that argument on this thread, as you say we must agree to disagree.)
As I have previously said; My best advice to littlelyon, is to keep talking to the teaching staff, they are in the best position to offer good advice, they will have seen such problems before, and know your child. Keep talking to his teacher and if necessary headteacher and push for the school to offer practical help for your ds (coaching/advice/mind gym etc.etc.) Don't go into battle with teachers, but listen to their advice.
With other parents you say you feel uncomfortable but you will find more respect from other mothers if you are open about your problems (no one has a perfect child, they just have differing problems), if other mums are aware that you are trying your best to tackle any perceived problems, they may be more sympathetic.

Air Crist Is Grounded
The jet carrying Attorney General Charlie Crist to appearances was forced to land Monday afternoon after engine trouble. The plane had just left Orlando Executive Airport and was headed to Fort Myers when a loud vibration was heard from the rear of the aircraft, where the engines are.
The twin-engine Astra jet, which Crist has used frequently in his campaign, is owned by private prison executive George Zoley (the GEO Group) and Dr. Zachariah Zachariah, a Fort Lauderdale cardiologist, prominent GOP fund-raiser and previous supporter of Crist's opponent, Tom Gallagher (though Crist said he and Zachariah have been talking and he would like the doc's support).
"That's never happened," Crist said after the plane landed. "You just hope for the best and say your prayers, which I did, and it worked out." He didn't seem too perturbed: A half hour later, Crist was sound asleep in a leather reclining chair in the airport's pilot lounge.
With Crist on the abbreviated flight were the campaign's chief of staff, George LeMieux, travel aide Dayne Eagle and reporters from the St. Petersburg Times and Orlando Sentinel.
Crist is scheduled to visit Cape Coral, West Palm Beach and Boca Raton before going to the FSU-Miami football game Monday night. LeMieux said Crist would scrap the Palm Beach County stops.
Gallagher, who holds a student pilot certificate, shook his head when he heard of Crist's experience. "It could happen to anyone," Gallagher said while riding in a supporter's RV from Hialeah to the Versailles restaurant in Miami's Little Havana.

British press takes sides in 'playground' spat with France
Britain's press waded into the bickering between London and Paris over the state of each other's economy, but warned Saturday that the playground spat was getting both sides nowhere.
Britain hit back Friday at French criticism of its economy with deputy premier Nick Clegg telling France's prime minister his comments were "simply unacceptable".
Some newspapers warned that neither side had much room for crowing.
The eurosceptic Daily Mail had a field day.
"There are few more comic spectacles than Frenchmen throwing fits of Gallic pique against the victors of Waterloo," the mid-market tabloid said.
"And when even the eurofanatical Nick Clegg tells them to back off, it's a sure sign they've gone way over the top."
It put the boot into "sulky" French President Nicolas Sarkozy, scoffed at what it called hysterics from "the powerless head of France's toytown central bank" and then turned on the finance minister and his "playground abuse".
"France is fast becoming a basket-case economy", it said, asking whether Britain should seize trading opportunities with emerging China and India rather than binding its fortunes to the European Union, a "sclerotic... abomination against democracy".
The leftist Guardian said that "so long as we are all in the same sinking boat, we would be wise to focus on rowing in the same direction".
"Britain and France always were the best of enemies. They share similar delusions" about their culture, language and intelligence, it said.
French cabinet ministers had this week "reduced the cross-channel dialogue to the level of a year-six spat in a playground".
"Comrades, we are in the same boat. A sinking one.
"So there's no room for crowing. And that applies as much to British eurosceptics as it does to French ministers blowing raspberries.
"If the leaders of countries like Britain and France don't realise what they have in common, it is no exaggeration to say that Europe risks being torn apart by nationalism, economic protectionism, and the anti-immigrant xenophobia of the far right."
The Daily Mirror also said both countries were in it together.
"The cross-Channel bust-up between Britain and France would be funny if it wasn't so tragic," the left-wing tabloid said.
Cameron's relationship with Sarkozy has crumbled into "bitter recriminations in the face of the eurozone crisis" and they "aren't even on the same page" when it comes to tackling the financial crisis.
"That is a disaster when the world is teetering on the brink of a new monetary maelstrom and, while flag-waving patriots won't want to hear it, much of the blame lies here," it said, citing Cameron's refusal to sign up to an EU deal.
"Time is running out. Statesmanship, not petty squabbling, is needed to save us from catastrophe."

Gerrard up for derby clash
Liverpool talisman Steven Gerrard is excited by the prospect of playing in Saturday's Premier League clash against Everton, describing the Merseyside derby as "the best week of the season".
• Preview: Everton v Liverpool
• Lucas: Henderson will come good
Gerrard returned from injury in a Carling Cup fixture last month, his first appearance for the Reds since undergoing a groin operation back in March. The 31-year-old is now keen to make up for lost time as he steels himself for the match against Liverpool's fierce rivals.
"I think it's the best week of the season," he told the club's official website. "These are the two favourite games for me with Manchester United a close second. Because of the Merseyside rivalry and the buzz you get from beating them, it's probably my favourite game, so I'm looking forward to it.
"We'll just have to wait and see what Kenny [Dalglish] decides to do with the team and whether I'm going to be in from the start or on the bench, but whatever he decides I'll be ready."
The England midfielder is expecting a typically gritty affair at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon, but has urged his team-mates not to become involved in a physical encounter at the expense of playing their natural game.
"It's always tough. Obviously they have home advantage and so are going to have massive support, but we go there with no fear.
"We've got a very good derby record over the years at Goodison Park, so I don't see why we can't go there with confidence, play our own stuff, not get involved in a fight and I think if we can stay in the game in the first 15-20 minutes we'll come through and win it.
"We need to play without fear. Sometimes in derby games you can get involved in the fight and forget to play. It becomes a battle and a tussle rather than us settling and playing our own game.
"We like to pass and move, attack quick and stay compact when we haven't got the ball, so if we can settle really quickly into the game I'm really confident we can get the right result," said Gerrard.

Well. It is now Monday morning, October 4. Today's Chicago Tribune—like pretty much the rest (and perhaps all) of the mainstream American print dailies on this first Monday of October—began with a total of six different reports on its front page. Including these two:
* "Raid's success lifts vote hopes," Colin McMahon, sect. 1, pp. 1-7
* "Sharon says Israel will widen Gaza incursion," Joel Greenberg, sect. 1, pp. 1-20.
The lead to the first report, the one on the Americans' resort to overwhelming firepower against the Iraqi city of Samarra over the weekend, informs us that "The weekend offensive in Samarra was not just about putting down guerrilla fighters who were attacking American and Iraqi troops. It also was the first step toward the Iraqi and U.S. goal of making the nation safe for democracy." The accompanying photos depict "A boy with a white flag [walking] ahead of Iraqis taking a family member killed in the battle for Samarra for burial Sunday" (front page, above the fold), and "A U.S. soldier [scanning] his sector near the main mosque in Samarra, Iraq, on Sunday. Control of the city remains uncertain" (p. 7). One really ought to take a close look at this second photo in particular. It is a ghastly, frightening, close-up of a character straight out of a dystopic sci-fi film, with the American soldier's whole face obstructed by the high-tech glasses he is using. Here, for once, the medium is the message. It is the kind of face the Americans present to the world on at least six different continents. The kind you ought to grab your family and friends and run from screaming, at the top of your lungs, looking for some other force to come and protect both you and the planet.
(Incidentally, the phrase "vote hope" in the headline refers to next January's vote, the plans for which the Bush regime intends to hype at least through the November 2 presidential election in the States. The Americans' massive display of state violence, terror, death and destruction over Samarra (as well as Fallujah and elsewhere, too) may be instrumental toward this end, the Trib's reasoning goes. Therefore, it is good. A "success" that also "lifts" the hopes that the January elections will go ahead as promised.—Of course, exactly whose hopes are supposed to be lifted by the Americans' "success" in Samarra is implied more than explicitly stated. But, you catch the Chicago Tribune's drift, I am sure.)
The second report—"Sharon says Israel will widen Gaza incursion"—is more of the same: The existential conflict between the State of Israel and armed Palestinian militants from Hamas. As two of the paragraphs from midway through the article explain:
In the fighting Sunday, an Israeli aircraft attacked a group of militants after they fired a Qassam rocket near Beit Hanoun, hitting the squad and a cart loaded with rockets, the army said. Two militants were killed and a third critically wounded, hospital officials said.
Earlier Sunday, Israeli forces killed two militants planting a bomb, the army said. A third dead militant was found later, Palestinians reported.
You also should see the photograph from the Jabaliya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip that accompanies this report (p. 20—the back page—sorry I can't reproduce it). "A Palestinian stands in the rubble of a school destroyed amid Israel's incursion into the Jabaliya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip." Additional words are unnecessary, however.
The final three paragraphs of this report sum up the whole of it pretty nicely:
To explain its mission, the army allowed reporters to interview a battalion commander at a position near Jabaliya. The officer, identified as Lt. Col. Ofer, said dozens of Palestinian homes have been destroyed or damaged during the operation because they served as cover for gunmen.
"They shoot at you from every alley, so you have to flatten the area," he said.
He acknowledged that Palestinian civilians have been hit by army gunfire, but said those were mistakes and that the militants use civilians as human shields.
Makes me all the more anxious to learn what kind of collective structures and practical tools the UN Secretary-General's increasingly ballyhooed High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges, and Change is going to recommend that the rest of the world—outside the United States and Israel, that is—adopt, not only to contain these two chronic belligerents, but to pre-emptively deter and to punish them for serial violations of international and humanitarian law that are so brazen, they can be reported on the front pages of major American and Israeli newspapers, and throughout their 24-hour-per-day news cycles, without so much as a tremor of concern expressed about them by their actual perpetrators.

Federal budget cuts looming in Washington have made their way to one of the nation's largest defense contractors located in York County.
BAE Systems, located in West Manchester Township, said it's been told to halt production on all Bradley Fighting Vehicles from 2014 to 2017. The company says it would be extremely costly to shut down completely, and then have to start from scratch in three years.
Officials are urging the government to keep the line going at a reduced level instead.
"Bringing back all those people and re-training people — look at the tooling and equipment around you; this is all going to be gone," manufacturing director Alice Conner said. "No one really knows what will happen when we shut it down. We've never really shut down this type of capability before."
Conner said during the troop surge in Iraq, BAE was overhauling seven to eight Bradley vehicles per day. Currently, they are turning over one vehicle a day.
According to initial estimates, the cost of re-starting production is $750 million, Conner said. Instead, BAE is asking for a new contract of $100-$200 million over the next three years to keep up minimal production.
"No one here is an advocate to just to make things we don't need. What we want is to not shut the capability down," she said. "To keep our skills going and to keep our readiness, frankly — our national security readiness. Then you don't have to worry about, what will happen."
BAE said if the cuts are approved this budget year, the company would have lay off about 250 local workers in 2014. An additional 7,000 jobs through suppliers and feeder facilities would be affected in 44 states, plus Washington, DC.
Last year, BAE said it spent $19.5 million on supplies in York County alone.

Those of us in need of a little weight-loss inspiration need look no further than Jennifer Hudson. The Oscar winner and former"American Idol" finalist has lost a whopping 80 pounds over the last two years and recently shared her secrets with Self magazine.
Hudson admits in the September issue that she never thought of herself as overweight. "I remember one of my first times on ared carpet, an interviewer asked, 'How does it feel to be plus-sized in Hollywood?' I looked around, like, Who is she talking to? Oh, me? I'm plus-sized?,'"the 29-year-old recalls. "In the neighborhood I'm from in Chicago, a 16 is normal. But in Hollywood, everyone looks exactly the same, so I stoodout."
It was during her pregnancy with son David, who's now 2,when Hudson suddenly became inspired to finally revamp her lifestyle to become healthy and fit. "I thought, hold on -- why doesn't anybody know I'm pregnant?," she says. "And I wanted to set a good example for my son. Right after I had him, I began trying to change things."
Just a few days after giving birth to David via cesarean section, she started walking 30 minutes a day -- which became her much-needed time to herself -- and eventually began hitting the gym, jogging, and bike riding. Though she'd gone through three different weight losses before, Hudsondecided, this time, to join Weight Watchers (she's also a company spokesperson)to get her eating habits on track after years of trying deprivation diets.
"[I] learned about balance. If you're on a strict diet that says you shouldn't have any carbs or this or that, your body won't function the way it should," Hudson tells the magazine. "I know now that I can eat anything I want and still lose or maintain my weight. It's about portions and balance."
These days, even when the busy mom is pressed for time, she squeezes in exercise, doing a workout called "trilogy" which includes sets of 25 squats, 25 push-ups, and 25 ab moves with minute-long restsin between for a total of 15 minutes. With her new, slimmed-down figure and healthy attitude, Hudson has become a new kind of idol for lots of her fans,but, of course, she's endured criticism as well.
"I can't care about whether I'm too big for some or too small for others. It goes back to how you feel about yourself," she insists. "I like me the way I am. For anyone who wants to lose: Dude, if I can do it, you can do it."

What the hell is Nuzlocke?
Maybe T rated. I'd like to see some blood and sweat. i mean, when I whack a blissey, I want to see some fluids pop outta it! LOL. I mean, Crawdaunt whacking a blissey so hard it pops like a blood filled ballon!
*looks at own avatar*
.. might be a good idea...
blasting blissey's head to dust would feel awesome

29% of the SPPF population has a based-on-nothing percentage in their sig, wich works exactly the same as a chainletter. put this in your sig if you want to become one of them.
Still looking for a good quote, so you better be funny damnit.
I don't know about M-rated. I don't think you could actually make an M-rated pokemon game unless you were intentionally trying to make it M-rated, which means there might be a lot of violence and gore purely for the sake of the rating, and not enough emphasis on a solid storyline and interesting gameplay. Too many games that hold promise turn into slaughterfests for the sake of upping the rating...
I would, however, like to see a pokemon game that is less geared toward young children, and is a lot more complex in terms of storyline rather than the repetative "beat all these gym leaders and stop a random group of bad guys along the way" story. Because while I love how the core pokemon system has advanced since R/B with hold items and natures and such, the story itself has barely changed.
I like a lot of the ideas others suggested, like further customization of the trainer and alternate storylines, etc. More realistic battles and deeper storylines would certainly make it less of a kid-oriented game and make it more interesting for older players.
I really doubt such a game would ever exist though, because like others said, children are the main audience for pokemon and I highly doubt that will change, but I can't complain. Even as simple as it is right now it still keeps me entertained and I love it.
And this is slightly off the subject but someone mentioned wanting more gyms... many years ago I was working on a (poorly written) series of stories about a sort of underground pokemon league in a place where pokemon were banned, so instead of fighting a handful of certain gym leaders in specific places, there were hundreds of "gym leaders" all over the world that were in hiding, and you had to hunt them down and fight them to earn points (the number of points was based on the difficulty of the battle) instead of badges... and once you got a certain number of points you could go on to the championships and such. I think a system like that might be interesting, especially if the leaders were randomly generated infinitely and increasing in difficulty so you could keep racking up points, provided that you could find them and win.. just a thought though.
Also known as SecretPika, once upon many years ago.
Depends on how good the game would be.
Well most people would want more gyms, more things to do instead of end of story after elite four right? After elite four it just seem like there is no point continuing the game at all, i don't know about this but my friend says you can re-challenge the gyms in emerald version, is that true? *A little off topic*
So this is what i have gathered up:
Cute creatures + M Rating? That kinda reminds me of Conker. I don't know why.
Seriously, it wouldn't work. At all. The game would be way too controversial and that would affect its sales and bug parents. It'd surely affect the E games.
And I haven't got a Fake ID, so no, I wouldn't buy it.
The T-rated idea makes more sense, but why? They already appeal to older audiences, as you can see in many Pokémon forums such as this one. Pokémon is great because nearly anyone can play it and not get bored too soon. No, Pokémon games are OK as they are now.
I will maybe buy it, but when it is a game like trozei i'm not going to buy it.

Naw. M rated games are against my religion. T rated, maybe (like maybe applying a little bit of physical contact, like biting another Pokemon, etc)
How about releasing a Pokemon game for the Wii? You could design your own character (like you do in DP), you could pick which region you start off in, and go to the other regions. Depending on what region you start off in would depend on your starter (Kanto has Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, or Pikachu, Orange Islands would have a Lapras, Johto has Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile, Hoenn would have Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip, Orre would have Eevee, Fiore would have Plusle or Minun [depending on your gender], and Sinnoh would have Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup). Instead of wandering inside the grass, it'll give you a closeup view of the Pokemon, and you can approach them to battle like you would in Pokemon Ranger. The battle style would be similar to PBR, and will have the additional affects (which will probably make the game E10 or T). You can call out any Pokemon at any time to follow you (Pikachu as a starter will automatically do that, and won't go into a Pokeball at all), though some Pokemon might have a hard time on land (like the water types like Goldeen would just flop around. You would have to call them out in water), or some Pokemon might just fly right behind you. When using techniques such as fly, surf, dive, etc, you will actually be riding/holding onto the Pokemon doing so. If it is big enough, you can actually control where you fly off to, similar to flying around in FF, and depending on what Pokemon you surf on, you might be able to whack and weaken other trainers/Pokemon on your way (imagine a trainer getting run over by a Wailord). You can also choose the role of being a hero or a villain. The best part of this game is that you can transfer any Pokemon from any version there. GSC and RBY Pokemon are done by password. You must insert the Pokemon's ID, location, your ID, etc into there in front of a GB and the Pokeball will pop up, and it'll be yours. You cannot transfer clones, as it might mistake it for 'sharked' Pokemon, nor can you transfer a glitched Mew. It will still remain in the GSC/RBY area, but you can also use it in the Wii version (after receiving it from GSC/RBY, you can verify its nature and ability, depending on what its stats are). The DP pokemon are transfered via Wi-fi. Cool isn't it? Not M, but possibly T.

M-rated? Why would a pokemon game be rated mature? It was originally designed for kids.
I was thinking if Pauls Elekid and Chimchar evolve into Infernape and Electivire which would be stronger?In my point of veiw I would say Electivire becuse his Elekid is already stronger than Chimchar but what do you think post your answers here.
My favourite pokemon is Spoiler:- ":
There's an anime section yanno ;/
Anyway, I think Infernape will be stronger, becasue it's his starter, and they always want to make the starter the strongest. Also, it's imposible to proove me right or wrong, because Electivire and Infernape will never fight. ever.
You know it does
I think Infernape will be stronger, since it is Paul's starter.

wrong section, but....
Elekid is freakin' strong, Electvire is stronger than Infernape, and Chimchar isnt that strong anyway. Electvire all the way!

Electivire. I do think Chimchar will evolve into a really strong Infernape but I think it will not be like Electivire. His Elekid is really strong.
Electrivire, in my opinion....have you seen how strong it is??? Especially being able to learn all elemental punches....but then Infernape could, except ice....

I keep having dreams about a Virtual Reality Pokemon game, and how I wish it were real. I hope my dream comes true someday...What are your thoughts on my dream?
Well Nintendo seems to be going in that direction with the Wii and all. But after the Virtual Boy fiasco years ago they might be still cautious about trying that again.
yea i agree with champ over here
and this was discussed awhile back and a major flaw Latios mentioned was the inclusion of NPC's or not, if not then how would you make money¿ If so, what roles would they play.
And a whole host of other issues.
All-in-all i do hope for a poke'mon vrg
It would be awesome, but it's never going to happen.
I like it! hopefully, they WILL make it.
Back online. It's a new start.

Subject: [DNA] SNPs L302 and L319.1
Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2011 20:16:36 EDT
I sent an inquiry to FTNDA to find out how many men were tested for the
L302 and L319.1 which were found in my Hopkins cousin. Here is the message
received back today:
"Thank you for your email. For L302 it has been tested in over 150
and around one dozen have come back positive. For L319.1 there are about 50
people tested and seven positive results."
I sent back the following:
"I am the contact for kit #32932.
I am shocked and pleasantly surprised at those results. Can you tell me
how many
are R-L21 or at least R1b? I only know that my brother, another Hopkins
and a man who was adopted at birth and does not know his paternal line who
positive for L302 and L319.1. All are R-L21*.
I wonder how these people can be contacted?
How do I find out the haplogroup and their ancestry of those who tested
positive? One person suggested that I ask FTDNA permission to set up a
project on their website and have a message composed by me sent to the men who
tested positive for the SNPs asking them to join the project.

|Bookbindings (2)
|This 15th century binding is reinforced with hefty, but decorative, metal plates attached to the bindings with nails, the large heads of which support the book when it is laid out flat. The metal clasp is also visible. The metalwork, while decorative, is also serving a practical function.
|A 15th century bookbinding in the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
|The late medieval binding at right has leather covers cold stamped with geometrical designs. The central sections shows a scene of the martyrdom of St Sebastian. It's a bit hard to make out, but the saint is in the middle with his hands tied over his head while two archers stand on either side filling him full of arrows. There would seem to be some conceptual relationship between the development of this form of binding design and block printing of illustrated books.
Late medieval stamped leather binding.
|Sometimes books were additionally equipped with soft wrappers which were attached to the binding. The book could be wrapped up when not in use. When open, the wrappers hung down around the book like a curtain. Such arrangements are sometimes shown in artistic depictions and may have been used to protect the bindings of books in regular use, like books of hours.
|These 15th century ladies kneeling at their prayer desks have books with long wrappers dangling over the edges of the desks (British Library, MS Roy. 2 A xviii). No, it isn't a very good reproduction.
|Simple soft covers made of parchment or leather, without the solid board lining, were also used at times for practical non-prestigious works like cartularies, account books or books for student use.
|Some books were actually fitted with chains, so that they were permanently fastened to their shelves. While such libraries do survive, for example at Hereford Cathedral, there is something peculiar about this as a concept. Works of liturgy which were used in the church could hardly be dealt with in this way. It must be assumed that the books so treated were those residing in the library for study purposes. As the practice is recorded and survives for monastic or cathedral libraries, it hardly seems likely that this was literally to prevent pious men of learning from popping a large copy of the Epistles of St Cyprian under their cassocks and absconding.
The chained library of Hereford Cathedral, although I have discovered that this much photographed library actually dates from the 17th century, although many of the books are much older.
See the description in the Hereford Cathedral website.
|Perhaps it was a largely symbolic reference to the value of these works as objects, or to visually strengthen the concept of the written words contained therein as communal property in a true Benedictine tradition, rather than the individual property of scholars who might wish to read them in private. As a reader of too much Terry Pratchett, I personally find the idea that it is to prevent the books themselves from becoming animated with the power of the words inside them and doing erratic things beguiling, but alas, unlikely.
|Inscription in a book (British Library, Royal 10 A xi). (From New Palaeographical Society 1908)
|The above example indicates that the chaining of books could be a matter of some significance. The inscription indicates that the book belongs to Holy Trinity, Chichester and was donated by William, the third bishop of Chichester. It concludes with the instruction that the book is to be kept firmly chained down in the college.
