Today I'm delighted to be hosting the next stop on Gunnar Staalesen's Where Roses Never Die blog tour. I thought what better way to demonstrate Gunnar's brilliant writing than to share an extract of the beginning of this fab book!
Firstly the Blurb:
September 1977. Mette Misvaer, a three-year-old girl disappears without trace from the sandpit outside her home. Her tiny, close middle-class community in the tranquil suburb of Nordas is devastated, but their enquiries and the police produce nothing. Curtains twitch, suspicions are raised, but Mette is never found.
Almost 25 years later, as the expiry date for the statute of limitations draws near, Mette's mother approaches PI Varg Veum, in a last, desperate attempt to find out what happened to her daughter. As Veum starts to dig, he uncovers an intricate web of secrets, lies and shocking events that have been methodically concealed. When another brutal incident takes place, a pattern begins to emerge …
Where Roses Never Die by Gunnar Staalesen
Chapter 1
There are days in your life when you are barely present, and today was one of those. I was sitting behind my desk, half-cut and half-asleep, when I heard a shot from the other side of Vagen, the bay in Bergen. Not long afterwards I heard the police sirens, although there was no reason to assume this would ever be a case that might involve me. By the time I had eventually staggered to my feet and made it to the window, it was all over.
Reading the newspapers the following day, I found out most of what had gone on, the rest I learned in dribs and drabs. Afterwards they were universally referred to as the Shell Suit Robbers. There were just two customers in the exclusive jewellery shop in Bryggen when, at 15.23 on Friday, 7th December 2001, the door swung open and three heavily armed individuals, waering balaclavas and dressed in what are informally known as BBQ suits, burst into the premises.
The two customers, an older woman and a younger one, cowered in the corner. In addition to the customers there were two female assistants in the shop. The owner was in the back room.He'd hardly had time to look up before on robber was standing in the doorway and pointing a sawn-off shotgun at him. He said in what was supposed to be English: 'Don't move yourself! The first person who presses an alarm button are shot!'
One of the robbers took up position by the front door with an automatic weapon hanging down at thigh-height and kept lookout. The third opened a big bag, gave it to the assistant in front of the display cabinets and pointed a gun at her. He spoke in English too: 'Fill up!'
The assistant objected: 'They're locked!'
'But I'll have to get…' She motioned to the counter.
'Move, move, move!'
She cast a glance at the other assistant, who nodded resigned agreement. Then she opened a drawer behind the counter, took out a bunch of keys and went back to the display cabinets.
The robber in front of her directed a glance at the door: 'Everything OK?'
The robber posted there nodded mutely.
The robber by the office door intoned the same message: 'Move!'
The jewellery-shop owner shouted: 'You have no idea what you're doing! All our items are registered internationally. No one will buy the most expensive pieces.'
'Shut up!' The robber pointed to the safe in the wall. 'Open.'
'I haven't got…'
The robber rushed forward and held the rifle to his head. 'Open. If you…'
One of the fathers of Nordic Noir, Gunnar Staalesen was born in Bergen, Norway in 1947 and is the author of over 20 titles, which have been published in 24 countries and sold over four million copies. The next instalments in the Varg Veum series – Where Roses Never Die and No One Is So Safe in Danger – will be published by Orenda Books in 2016 and 2017.

Large European automakers Volkswagen AG and Daimler AG have in the last few years expanded production in countries outside of Europe, particularly Germany, to reach a wider consumer base and meet the growing vehicle demand across the globe. A broader production network also helps companies evade import taxes and other tariffs, transportation and shipment costs, thereby maintaining cost stability. Especially in emerging economies, automakers are raising investment levels, bolstered by lower production and operational costs in these countries. Some governments also provide incentives to manufacturers, as construction and functioning of large-scale auto production and assembly plants require thousands of workers, which in turn boosts employment levels and consumer spending in these countries. In addition to increasing production in the BRIC countries, both Volkswagen and Daimler are also investing in low-cost central and eastern European countries and little-by-little are shifting operations previously centered in western Europe. Reduced variable costs due to lower raw material costs and lower fixed costs due to lower wages will improve profitability for automakers, going forward.
See Our Complete Analysis For Daimler AG
Low Costs In Central And Eastern Europe Could Fuel Production Growth
Central and eastern Europe constituted 37% of overall vehicle sales in Europe in 2013, by our estimates. Eastern Europe accounts for around 20% of all vehicles produced in Europe presently. With central and eastern Europe most hit by the double-dip recession, vehicle sales in the region also fell. However, as economic activity begins to pick up in the region, coupled with lower vehicle ownership rates, vehicle sales could grow in the next couple of years. Motorization rates in countries such as Hungary and Romania stand at 342 and 240 vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants, respectively, lower than the 550+ vehicles per 1,000 people for most western European countries. Even though vehicle demand in central and eastern Europe doesn't grow significantly, increasing production capacity in the region provides the incentive of lower labor costs. According to the CEO of Audi, while hourly labor costs in Germany range from €40-€52, the costs decrease to €13 per hour in Hungary, and to below €5 per hour in Romania and Bulgaria.
Almost one-fourth of Volkswagen's vehicles, which are sold in 153 countries, are produced in Germany itself. With growing vehicle demand around the world, there is a need for setting up factories outside the domestic market and source a higher proportion of vehicles and their components closer to the final customer, reducing costs for vehicle manufacturers. Volkswagen and Daimler, as well as major Japanese automakers such as Toyota, previously relied only on exports to various countries, thereby controlling quality and ensuring optimum facility utilization. However, with large vehicle volumes exported outside domestic markets, taxes as well as transportation and shipping costs significantly increase. Setting up new production facilities and maintaining quality has also somewhat become easier for automakers, with technological developments and integration of vehicle platforms. For example, in 2012, Volkswagen introduced the modular transverse toolkit, which created an extremely flexible vehicle architecture, making it possible to produce different models of various brands in different quantities in the same production unit. Platform consolidation allows automakers to maintain quality and standardize products, irrespective of the country they are produced in. This also means that developmental costs for building a production or assembly plant could decrease, acting as an added incentive for setting up production outside the domestic market.
Volkswagen, Daimler Expand Production In Central And Eastern Europe
The Hungary division of Audi, Volkswagen's luxury brand, manufactures the entire lineup of Volkswagen vehicles as well as produces the new compact sedan A3 in the Györ plant. The production capacity at the Györ plant rose to 125,000 units, from less than 35,000 units manufactured in 2012. In addition, Skoda, which saw sales rise 26.2% in the major Central European markets in May, is also expanding its plant in Kvasiny, Czech Republic, to produce a large new sports utility vehicle. The successor model to the Volkswagen Transporter and Crafter will be produced in Poland, after the collaboration between Mercedes and Volkswagen for manufacturing these commercial vehicle models ends in 2016. For this purpose, a plant will be built at Wrzesnia, Poland, providing 2,300 jobs.
On the other hand, Daimler is also looking to outsource production activities from Germany to countries with lower labor costs. The company expanded its production activities in central and eastern Europe in 2012, with production of compact luxury cars Mercedes B-Class and CLA-Class at the Hungary plant which employs 3,000 workers. Daimler's Mercedes has only four production locations outside Europe and 11 locations within Europe, with Germany being the major manufacturing site. While overall vehicle production in Germany rose by only 1.2%, production in Romania and Hungary combined grew by 14% in 2013. However, Germany still manufactures almost five times the number of vehicles produced in Romania, Hungary and Poland combined. Higher production in low-cost central and eastern European countries could boost profitability for the automaker. Mercedes' operating margin stood at 7% in the first quarter of 2014, trailing Audi's 10%. In addition to expanding production in China and Brazil, shifting operations to central and eastern European countries with lower wages might increase profits for Mercedes, going forward.

Edelrid Attila Tec Axe
The Attila Tec mountaineering axe features a fold-out grip rest and a plastic head grip. But how well do these additions stand up to the rigours of winter mountain use? Tom Ripley soon finds out.
Paul Lewis is a mountaineering instructor with a fetish for walking axes. Here he guides us through the do's and don'ts of buying a walking axe just in time for the first winter snows. Thinking of going winter walking and mountaineering? Listen to what Paul has to say...
The Lord of the swings – choosing one axe to rule them all...
Adore your tool
I love my ice axe. I know it's weird and I should just say that I don't mean love in the 'cuddle up on the sofa with it and watch a good DVD with a bottle of chilled Chardonnay' kind of way. But I do love it in a 'faithful companion who's shared some great adventures and is always there for me' kind of way – and yes, I know that's still weird. But hey, if you're feeling a bit jealous about me and my metal, don't despair – just read these top tips and you'll find your perfect match too!
Axe head
Though forged one-piece axe heads are the bee's knees, nowadays they are unfortunately becoming harder to find than the ozone layer! The new trend is for axe heads made from stamped metal. These will do the job just fine but make sure the head is durable enough and has enough weight in it for an effective swing. For general mountain use you should also ensure that it is made of steel rather than the alloy ones which are designed for specialist things like ultra lightweight ski touring and ascending 8000ers.
The axe pick should be gently curved to allow it to grip in snow but not too curved or it will snatch in fall arrest situations. Some axe picks have teeth that are just placed in the first few inches of the underside of the pick whilst some go all the way up to where the pick meets the top of the shaft. My experience of using a variety of axes has shown me it is better not to have teeth all the way up as this doesn't greatly improve the holding power and can also make the axe uncomfortable to grip - and those teeth can really chew up your gloves.
The curve from the pick should then continue smoothly over the head of the axe which will make it comfortable to grip. When you go into the shops it's worth taking some gloves and holding lots of models – on big mountain days you'll be carrying your axe for a long time in this position and if its shape starts hurting your hand you'll be more likely to put it away and not have it available when you really need it.
The adze just needs to be of a good cutting size, slightly scooped and not too steeply angled. The pick and adze don't need to be too sharp for what you want this axe to do, so either let them blunt up a bit with use or smooth the sharp bits a little with a hand file – Water-proof shells and sharp objects don't mix!
Size does matter
If you Google 'ice axe length' you'll be faced with lots of opinions on the best length for your tool. Old school thinking always said that your axe should be 2 inches off the floor when you hold the head in your hand and stand with your arm down by your side. The trouble with this is that it makes your axe hard to use as anything other than a walking stick.
In my opinion it's best to choose an axe of about 55cm (about the same length as a technical climbing tool) regardless of your height. This length will allow efficient ice axe braking, step cutting, allow you to build axe belays, provide good support on steep ground, swing efficiently when climbing and store easily on you sack.
Shaft style
In ye olde alpenstock days wood ruled for axe shaft construction and it's certainly true that Sylvester Stallone managed some wicked manoeuvres with a wooden axe in Cliffhanger. The trouble is that wood is unpredictable and has been known to fail without warning and Cliffhanger was actually fictional! (I know that's hard to believe!) Alloy is the modern way to go. Oval alloy tubing is strong, provides a good shape for your hand to grip and is dependable in use. A simple but solid spike at the bottom of the shaft will allow you to plunge the axe easily into snow.
Some form of rubber grip on the lower part of the shaft will aid hold-on-ability and insulate your pinkies, but try to avoid axes where the grip material is too raised from the shaft as it will wear quickly and get in the way when you are plunging your shaft into snow.
Some models come without any shaft grip but you can make your own using some climbing finger-tape or even better, some purpose made strips of the super-grippy adhesive sandpaper material sold by Grivel. It's expensive for what it is but works brilliantly and lasts well – or try getting some skateboard deck covering material from your local board shop. This is essentially the same thing but a lot cheaper.
Axe shafts and picks are rated by the criteria of UIAA standard 152 (which in turn are based on EN standard 13089). It's worth noting that the UIAA standard 152 has additional requirements to the EN standard on which it is based. That all sounds pretty heavy and you have probably dozed off - but if you do like that type of techno babble all the technical testing standards can be found on the UIAA website.
Really the essential facts you need to know are that axes and picks are given either a B (basic) or T (technical) rating. B rated axes are lower strength and are designed for use in general circumstances such as snow mountaineering, glacier travel and ski mountaineering. Components that are T rated have passed the most stringent tests and are designed to cope in all circumstances including such high stress activities as ice climbing and dry tooling. The rating will be shown by either a B or T in a circle on the shaft and pick of the axe.
Colour is very important. At all costs make sure your axe colour matches the colour of your jacket. It's very bad form to clash in the couloir... only joking on this one of course!
Ice axes are now available with a weight of 2 nanograms, utilising helium filled shafts (maybe!). The problem with today's obsession with lightness is that a general purpose axe needs some weight to allow a good swing for efficient step cutting and good penetration in hard ice. Axes also take a lot of abuse and ultralight materials just aren't going to be as durable for long term mountain use. Despite the desire to get your total pack weight down to 600grams this is one area where you need some clout.
Ice axe leashes are good for providing support when step cutting and preventing you dropping your axe. They are bad for zigzagging up a slope where you need to change hands regularly. The answer is a simple leash that can be detached from the axe easily when not needed. The easiest solution is a simple slider-closure style tape-leash that can be larks-footed through the hole at the top of your axe head. Even better if it's compact enough to carry in your jacket pocket as this will mean you always have it to hand when needed. If you do decide to have it permanently attached to your axe don't leave it dangling down as that's a sure fire way to snag it in crampon points just when you really don't want to. One way to keep things neat if you leave it attached is to wrap the tape several times around the axe pick and trap it in place with your hand.
Carrying & Storage
You've found your trusty partner. It's a marriage made in heaven. Well now you need to treat that puppy with respect – and luckily axes don't take much caring for. Just make sure it is dry before storage and don't store it in a damp place because rust will develop quickly. If you use those little rubber pick and spike protectors make sure they are removed for storage as it's easy to trap moisture underneath. Apart from that just periodically give your axe a once-over, looking for signs of metal fatigue, excessive wear and any damage to the rivets that connect everything together – job done.
The best way to carry your axe is to place it vertically (axe head at the top!) down the side compression straps on your rucksack and ignore the fiddly carrying system sewn onto the sac by the manufacturers. These leave all sorts of sharp metal bits pointing up at partner gouging level and also make it likely that things will get caught on all the spiky bits. I witnessed a very messy ice-axe-spike-meets-face incident on the Aiguille de Midi Telephrique a couple of years ago which certainly showed the damage that can be done. Storing your axe in the compression straps also makes it quick to deploy, but if you need your tool to hand more quickly just slide it between your back and the back of your rucksack with the axe tip exiting above the lower strap attachment point in a very fashionable Robin Hood's arrow quiver style.
Of course, the very best way to really look the part is to always have your axe in your hand when you really need it. Happy swinging!
So you know what to look for but which axe do you choose? Fortunately, like most modern kit, there are very few bad axes out there if you select one from a reputable manufacturer. The important thing to decide is what you are going to be using the axe for and whether you are in the 'light is right' brigade or whether you want something so well constructed you can pass it on to your grandchildren. It also obviously depends how much you want to spend!
Here's a few of my current favourites to point you in the right direction.
DMM's excellent offering is the Cirque Axe, a light and very strong T tested axe with a curved shaft for easier plunging uphill, a positive pick end for increased ice performance and a good quality leash and shaft grip. Made in Wales by a trusted manufacturer, this axe retails at around £65.
The Petzl Cosmique is a very sturdy T-rated forged head axe with a well-shaped adze and durable rubber shaft grip. At around 650 grams (depending on length) its not particularly light, but it feels beautifully weighted and will power easily into even the hardest snow and ice. At about £90 it isn't particularly cheap but its so well made it will probably be the only one you will ever buy.
Petzl also do a lighter version of the Petzl Cosmique called, you guessed it, the Petzl Cosmique Light! This is about 100 grams lighter, about £15 cheaper but is B-rated and has no shaft grip. Another excellent axe.
I haven't used the Grivel Brenva but it has a good feel in the hand and has all the features you would want. It has apparently been designed with the Scottish mountaineer in mind and has a slight curve to the shaft to aid self-arrest. It is t-rated, has a forged head and weighs around 480 grams (without the leash that comes with it). The Brenva costs around £80 and in my experience you won't go far wrong with anything made by Grivel.
The Grivel Munro is a real bargain at about £40. A simple stripped down design and fairly light at around 470 grams (including leash) for the 55cm model. The Munro is B-rated, has no shaft grip and the head is drop forged steel.
CAMP have a range of super light axes too, which being so light are really designed for ski touring, but if you're looking for a spare axe, or really need to shave off those grams it's worth seeking out the CAMP Corsa Nanotech or the more general Corsa. Prices ranging from £59.99 up to £84.99 depending on model.
So there are a few options out of the many models available. The best thing to do is call into your local gear shop and try some out for yourself. By swinging them and seeing how they feel in your hand you will soon get an idea which feels best for you. Just remember not to rush into a decision – in the words of Phil Collins.... you can't hurry love!

Lunchtime @ Doheny & Nesbitt - Baggot St - Dublin
Dohenys is great old pub on Baggot St that I absolutely love. When I first started going out with Joanne she was so envious of me working over near Dohenys as she used to always go for lunch here when she worked in the area a few years ago.
Well after all her promotion of the place ( in fact she does that alot, she is a one woman promotion machine for the Port House and La Tasca) I decided to pay this place a visit. I was not disappointed , I ordered shepherds pie and a salad, and both were very tasty. I now count Dohenys as one of my favourite lunch time places in Dublin and one of my favourite places to eat shepherds pie, you will always leave here happy.
Thanks for reading,

National Arts and Disability Strategy
In October 2009 the Cultural Ministers Council released the National Arts and Disability Strategy, a vision for improving access and participation in the artistic and cultural activities for people with disabilities.
The Strategy is the result of extensive consultation, including 115 submissions made in response to a discussion paper released in late 2008, targeted consultation with arts and disability peak bodies, and consultation with government agencies at all levels. The Strategy provides a framework within which jurisdictions can assess and improve existing activities. It also identifies new priority projects that could be progressed as national initiatives or by individual jurisdictions. The Cultural Ministers Council was established in the mid-1980s and brings together government ministers from Australia and New Zealand to collaborate on developing Australia's arts and cultural sector.
The National Arts and Disability Strategy is available at the Cultural Ministers Council website.
Picture This
In March 2008, the Victorian Office for Disability in partnership with Arts Victoria and Disability Services Division commenced a research project to examine ways to increase the participation of people with a disability in the arts as artists and as audience members.
Picture This: Increasing the cultural participation of people with a disability in Victoria details findings of the research and paint a picture of the arts and disability landscape within Victoria, nationally and internationally.
These reports provide a unique snapshot of a dynamic and burgeoning Victorian arts and disability sector, and also identify some of the barriers that we need to continue to work to remove. They offer ideas, suggestions and possible strategies for increasing the cultural participation of people with a disability, relevant to both government and community.
The full report and an Easy English version are available at the Creative Victoria website.
Access All Areas: Disability Action Planning in the Arts
Creative Victoria's Disability Action Plan Access All Areas: Disability Action Planning in the Arts, is a key resource for organisations that are seeking to develop their own disability action plans.
Access All Areas also outlines the policy framework for the Creative Victoria Disability Action Plan, lists the core components of the plan and demonstrates how the aims of the policy will be achieved.
Access All Areas is available at the Creative Victoria website.
Making the Journey
Making the Journey is about arts activities and people with disability. It offers 12 case studies as examples of approaches, issues and achievements in the Australian field of art and disability in recent years.
The case studies in Making the Journey show initiatives from the arts, health and education sectors and responses by cultural organisations that remove barriers to participation. A theme across all of the examples is the leadership of artists, audience members and advocates with disability.
Making the Journey is available from the Arts Access Australia website.
Disability Fact Pack
The Disability Fact Pack examines the legal and moral obligations for arts organisations in providing access to the arts and cultural activities for people with disability.
People with disability are entitled to the same rights and the same opportunities as all other Australian citizens. However, our society currently falls well short of realising this ideal. People are still subjected to discrimination purely on the basis of disability – discrimination which is socially damaging, morally unacceptable and a cost to the whole community.
The Disability Fact Pack is available from the Arts Access Australia website

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Continuing a stretch of five games in four days, Santa Clara softball lost to Fresno State 2-0 Thursday night at home.
Bulldog starter Kamalani Dung (16-9) didn't allow a hit until Geenamarie Bonilla's double to left with one out in the seventh. Santa Clara (10-26) got the tying run to second with two down and nearly got a blooper to left that would have tied the score but it was snagged.
Dung finished with just the one hit allowed and struck out seven while walking four.
Bronco starter Aubree Kim was able to pitch around traffic through the first four innings but Fresno State (24-15) finally broke through in the fifth. The Bulldogs scored two runs in the top of the frame on three hits, a walk, and an error.
Kierra Willis had the lone RBI in the game while Malia Rivers and Haley Fuller both added a pair of hits. Rivers and Miranda Rohleder each scored a run.
Gianetta France drew a pair of walks for the Broncos while Taylor Burns and Kimberly Goulart each had one in addition to Bonilla's double.

It makes perfect sense to tap into Spotify's passionate audience. A total of 65% of global streams are now on mobile devices and we've recently introduced new ad products in the region such as Sponsored Sessions and Mobile Overlay to capture this mobile-first audience."
Ong's expertise across the digital spectrum covering display, mobile, search, social and programmatic advertising is seen as key with Spotify's advertising business having grown 100% year over year; with such outstanding growth Spotify's Asian team is committed to introducing more relevant ways for advertisers to reach brands.

The Tories have been appalling in government and Theresa May has been personally terrible but why don't more people seem to know?
David Cameron introduced gagging laws to prevent charities from informing the public of the harm be meted out through Tory policies. So, when Theresa May lies about how much she always intended to consult charities over the cap for social care that the Tories had resolutely dismissed in their manifesto, the charities concerned cannot dispute what she is saying or correct the lies being peddled about the impact of proposed policies, including the impact of cutting the Winter Fuel Allowance.
The media simply do not report it. It's obvious but it really is that simple. Most people do not the time or inclination to trawl around to find information about the things the Tories propose or have done in government, they rely on the headlines to give them the gist of what is happening and that is where organisations like BBC News can be exceptionally misleading. Issues that people like myself are only too aware of and informed about slide under the radar of a majority of people because they just aren't inclined to be that engaged. When people like myself raise the issues publicly, we all know that allegations of 'abuse' or 'conspiracy theory' 'tin foil hat' start to be bandied about. But you would be amazed about how many people do not know that this past Conservative government were accused by the United Nations of systematic human rights abuses against people with disabilities or of stripping children of their rights.
The public know things like the NHS are in a terrible state but they seem to think that it is inevitable and not specifically as a result of Tory actions. Likewise schools, prisons, the Police, Ambulance Service, and Fire Service. The Tory line is that these services are stretched to breaking despite them investing "record sums". It is the job of Britain's single public broadcaster to provide the public with coverage of these issues which is accurate and fair and BBC News has systematically failed to live up to that very basic standard. But why?
David Cameron appointed key personnel into BBC News, all of whom have floated over from Rupert Murdoch or the other Tory press. It is clear that these key personnel within BBC News are content to prop up a political party who abuse the most vulnerable in society.
So the Tories have gagged organisations who could refute the Tory policies and claims and the Tories have gerrymandered Britain's single public broadcaster's news department to skew its output, both to deceive the British public.

The days that defined Broadcasting House
As the Queen officially opens the BBC's New Broadcasting House in London, here are some of the important landmarks in the original building's history.
Tuesday 15 March 1932
The BBC had already been in existence for a decade as a radio service, first as a commercial company and from 1926 as a public corporation, when it moved to its new headquarters in central London.
The corporation's first director John (later Lord) Reith had no doubt about the importance of the radio, commenting: "This is the most powerful weapon in the world and it's in my hands."
The transfer of staff and programmes from the BBC's Savoy Hill base took some time. On 15 March Henry Hall and his BBC Dance Orchestra performed the first music programme to come from BH, followed three days later by the first regular news bulletin from what the London Evening Standard newspaper called the "new wonder home of the BBC".
And on 2 May 1932, Reith welcomed BBC staff to the new purpose-built building, which he had described as "the centre of the world".
Tuesday 4 January 1938
Following the chimes of Big Ben and an introduction by Lord Reith, presenter Ahmad Kamal Sourour Effendi, who had been recruited from the Egyptian radio service, introduced the corporation's first foreign language broadcast, in Arabic.
Today, the BBC World Service provides services in 27 languages as well as English. In 2012, the BBC's global weekly audience, on radio, television and online, was estimated at 239 million.
Tuesday 18 June 1940
As the French government prepared to sign an armistice with the Nazi invaders, General Charles de Gaulle, who had escaped in a British aircraft, broadcast on the BBC to France.
In his speech, the general called upon "all Frenchmen who want to remain free to listen to my voice and follow me. Long live free France in honour and independence."
De Gaulle returned to his country following the allied invasion of June 1944 and served, initially as prime minister, and later, as the first president of the Fifth Republic, from 1959 to 1969.
Tuesday 15 October 1940
World War II saw Broadcasting House on the front line, literally as well as journalistically.
While reporters like Richard Dimbleby and Wynford Vaughan Thomas brought the conflict into people's front rooms via the wireless, BH found itself on the receiving end of a number German air attacks.
At 20:05, the building took a direct hit from a 230kg delayed-action bomb which destroyed the switchboard before exploding 58 minutes later, killing seven members of BBC staff.
Bruce Belfrage, who was reading the nine o'clock news, famously continued speaking with barely a pause, so as not to alert anyone listening in to the explosion, a moment which he re-created in 1950.
Sunday 27 May 1951
The BBC Radio Theatre hosted a recording of a new comedy series, provisionally entitled Crazy People, later to become The Goon Show.
Starring Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe, Peter Sellers and Michael Bentine - who left after the second series - the programme's surreal creativity broke the mould of British comedy. Though the recording of that first programme no longer exists, Michael Bentine later recalled one of those first sketches.
Though their regular shows ceased after an episode entitled The Last Smoking Seagoon in January 1960, they performed The Last Goon Show of All, before an audience which included the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal, in October 1972.
Monday 25 January 1954
Under Milk Wood was a "play for voices" by the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, who had died in New York City on 9 November 1953.
His death shocked his friend, the actor Richard Burton, who agreed to play First Voice in the radio play, produced by Douglas Cleverdon, with all fees and royalties going to Thomas's widow Caitlin and her children.
As Melvyn Bragg put it in his book Rich: The Life of Richard Burton, "The voice is an elegy for his own past, for his dream of Wales and for his own hero, a poet, dead of drink."
Saturday 16 March 1963
Although they had already featured in a number of BBC programmes, this was The Beatles' first visit to Broadcasting House.
They performed six live songs - including Please Please Me and I Saw Her Standing There for Saturday Club - presented by Brian Matthew - in a year which saw the birth of "Beatlemania" in the UK prior to their breakthrough in the United States.
Altogether, the group played on 53 different BBC radio shows between March 1962 and June 1965.
Over the years, BH has played host to "all of the great writers from Bernard Shaw, to Harold Pinter through to Beckett, pop music, and every major politician of the day," says the BBC's official historian, Prof Jean Seaton of the University of Westminster,
Saturday 30 September 1967
One of the most momentous days in British broadcasting saw the demise of the BBC Home Service, the Light Programme and the Third Programme and the birth of Radios 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Radio 1, the corporation's answer to the highly popular but illegal pirate radio stations, launched at 07:00 when Tony Blackburn, himself a former pirate radio DJ, played the single Flowers In The Rain by The Move at the start of his Daily Disc Delivery programme.
Wednesday 16 January 1991
As coalition troops moved into Iraq at the start of Operation Desert Storm, the BBC decided to broadcast extensive live coverage of the conflict via a new station, BBC Radio 4 News FM. It was eventually on air for 17 hours a day, seven days a week.
The station was the brainchild of Jenny Abramsky, the then head of radio news and current affairs, who described it as "the essence of public service".
Although the station terminated on 2 March 1991, when a ceasefire was called, Radio 4 News FM signalled the birth of continuous rolling news coverage at the BBC.
Tuesday 19 June 2012
The Burmese politician and human rights activist Aung San Suu Kyi visited BH.
She paid tribute to the BBC World Service for "keeping her in touch" during her years of house arrest in Burma and broadcast an interview with the BBC Burmese Service.
See more pictures of the visit on the About the BBC photostream on Flickr.
Friday 7 June 2013
In a sense, the Queen's visit to officially open New Broadcasting House brings the wheel full circle.
Her grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary, toured the newly-opened BH in July 1932, just weeks after broadcasts began.
Friday marks her sixth visit to Broadcasting House, most recently in 2006 when she inspected the building's extensive renovation work.

Chef Rob Mafucci
Vito's, www.vitosct.com, Hartford, CT
- 2 medium eggplants
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 2 cup bread crumbs
- 6 Tbsp (3 oz) extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves chopped fresh garlic
- 4 tsp small capers
- ½ cup thinly sliced roasted red peppers
- ½ cup Kalamata olives
- 3 Tbsp (1 ½ oz) white wine
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- Salt
- Pepper
- 3 cups mixed, fresh greens
- 1 Tbsp chopped basil
Skin both eggplants. Cut into ½ inch thick slices so pieces look like discs.
Beat eggs in a medium bowl. Spread flour and bread crumbs in 2 separate dishes. Lightly flour each eggplant slice then dip into egg mixture. Roll eggplant in bread crumbs.
Heat enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a medium skillet very generously. Set over medium- high heat. When oil is hot, add eggplant slices and sauté until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and cool.
Cut cooked eggplant into 1 inch strips. Heat extra virgin olive oil in a sauté pan on medium high heat. Add ingredients in the following order: eggplant, garlic, capers, red peppers and olives. Mix in white wine.
Add just enough marinara to color the dish, not turn it into a sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cooking time is 4-5 minutes. Garnish the plate with fresh greens and spoon eggplant salad onto the greens. Sprinkle with chopped basil. Serves 4-6
Recommended wine/beer for Hot Eggplant Salad:
Alois Lageder 2006 Pinot Grigio [Alto Adige, Italy]
Pinot Grigio has become as common and as commonplace as Chardonnay! You are just as likely to hear someone order a glass of Pinot Grigio instead of Chardonnay as a cocktail substitute in a restaurant's bar. Well I'm here to tell you that there's Pinot Grigio, and then there is Pinot Grigio! Some of what passes for Italian Pinot Grigio by the glass is just one step removed from flavored water. Not so with the Pinot Grigio of Alois Lageder! Cultivated in the cool, high altitude valleys of the Alpine Dolomites, Lageder's version is full-bodied and crisply dry. What I also find worthy of applause is the fact that Lageder's vineyard and cellar practices are based on the "green" principles of sustainability. But what really turns me on with this selection is how perfectly well it can accommodate the challenges of fried eggplant, roasted red peppers and Kalamata olives. By the way, that scant 3 Tbs. of white wine in the recipe—make it Lageder. You won't die of thirst from the sacrifice! The eggplant, though, will be very happy indeed!

As if dragging my tired butt through thousands of CL ads plus hitting up three or four collector car sites plus having an awkward teen-like crush with a different wheeled wonder every day wasn't enough, along comes DT with cars that I can actually *afford* to buy.

Thanks to you guys my self talk has gotten louder and I have to come up with even MORE reasons why driving 3000 miles to California to buy a 'one of kind' abandoned project is not a good idea.

My wife is not impressed with you. She's heard me say, "hey look at this" so many times she wouldn't look if I was showing her all the shoes in the world were on sale at 99% off. Oh well, my dog still thinks I'm ok.

Keep up the good work. I'm sure you're all going to retire rich from selling this site for 3.6 billion in a couple of years, so enjoy your ordinary existence while you can, before the Jay Leno-esque ability to buy and restore anything you want ruins what's left of your self control.

The main objective of the Agro-processing Multi-service Facility in Central Farm is to provide training and technical assistance for the creation and expansion of small and medium sized agro-processing enterprises. The Agro- processing Unit focuses on product research and development for the transformation of local produce into value added agricultural products as well as the transfer of technology for agri- business development to improve income generation and food security.
The Agro-processing Unit started as a Pilot Project in 1999 with the collaboration of the Republic of China (ROC), Taiwan Technical Mission in Belize. The main objective was to enhance food processing technology and the application of food science concepts in Belize. By 2002, the ROC, Taiwan Technical Mission had already introduced equipment to be used for product research and training in food processing techniques, but the space to set up all the equipment was limited.
As a result of this, an extension to the agro- processing building was constructed. In the last seven years, the agro-processing program has successfully achieved a stronger application of basic agro-processing concepts and introduced some of the newest technology for e.g, vacuum fried technology and air-dried technology in Belize.
Some of the main activities performed by the Unit are:
- To coordinate training such as food safety, standards, labelling and packaging of products and quality control with the respective agency for training.
- Increase the variety of agro-based processed products on the local markets, improve quality of local agro-based processed products.
- Increase the number of small and medium enterprises involved in the processing of agricultural commodities.
The following are a few of the main services provided by the Unit:
- The production of enriched, flavoured, banana porridge, to be distributed to targeted schools for their School Feeding Program.
The use of technologies to preserve and add value to specific local agricultural commodities that have a production surplus" e.g jams, jellies, peanut butter, tomato salsas, pepper sauces and beans.
- The processing of raw traditional commodities such as cassava and banana into flour for the production of baked products (breads, pastries).
- The processing and packaging of cheese, milk and yogurt.
- The production soy bean bi-products such as soy milk, soy sauce using new technologies.
- The packaging of bi-products e.g honey; training of university students, women's groups and farmers on the agro-processing techniques of the commodities mentioned above.

In Economic Warning Signals, Trump Sees Signs of a Conspiracy
No, no, it can't possibly be because Trump is the "King of Debt" and is totally incompetent at everything he does.President Trump, confronting perhaps the most ominous economic signs of his time in office, has unleashed what is by now a familiar response: lashing out at what he believes is a conspiracy of forces arrayed against him.
He has insisted that his own handpicked Federal Reserve chair, Jerome H. Powell, is intentionally acting against him. He has said other countries, including allies, are working to hurt American economic interests. And he has accused the news media of trying to create a recession.
The Fake News Media is doing everything they can to crash the economy because they think that will be bad for me and my re-election, Mr. Trump tweeted last week. The problem they have is that the economy is way too strong and we will soon be winning big on Trade, and everyone knows that, including China!
Mr. Trump has repeated the claims in private discussions with aides and allies, insisting that his critics are trying to take away what he sees as his calling card for re-election. Mr. Trump has been agitated in discussions of the economy, and by the news medias reporting of warnings of a possible recession. He has said forces that do not want him to win have been overstating the damage his trade war has caused, according to people who have spoken with him. And several aides agree with him that the news media is overplaying the economic fears, adding to his feeling of being justified, people close to the president said.

I'm currently researching for the annual Louie Gohmert profile update, and we missed this from two weeks ago...
Gohmert went on KETK News in Texas to talk about the mass shooting in El Paso, and came out to defend the shooter, saying he shouldn't be charged with a hate crime because, no s***, "This will be something used to lock up preachers someday."
... I mean, we all know Louie Gohmert has neurosyphilis or something... but goddamn.

A general, Newt Gingrich and Michael Jackson's publicist push cut-rate moon plan
Newt Gingrich and an eclectic band of NASA skeptics are trying sell President Donald Trump on a reality show-style plan to jump-start the return of humans to the moon — at a fraction of the space agency's estimated price tag.
The proposal, whose other proponents range from a three-star Air Force general to the former publicist for pop stars Michael Jackson and Prince, envisions creating a $2 billion sweepstakes pitting billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and other space pioneers to see who can establish and run the first lunar base, according to a summary of the plan shared with POLITICO.That's far less taxpayer money than NASA's anticipated lunar plan, which relies on traditional space contractors such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin and is projected to cost $50 billion or more.
Backers of the novel approach have briefed administration officials serving on the White House National Space Council, several members of the group confirmed, though they declined to provide specifics of the internal conversations.
Trump has yet to weigh in on the idea, at least publicly. But the proposal, designed to offer a big incentive for private players who are already planning their own moon missions, comes while the president has expressed skepticism that NASA can achieve his goal of returning American astronauts to the moon by 2024 without bold departures from the status quo.

Oh Wait:
https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/n...tml?akmobile=oNYPD Commissioner James ONeill has fired the police officer accused of using a banned chokehold on Eric Garner in 2014, siding with the departmental trial judge who recommended termination earlier this month.
O'Neill's decision, revealed early Monday afternoon, is final, closing the years-long book on embattled NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo, whom a local grand jury and federal prosecuters all declined to criminally prosecute. Late last week, News 4 had reported that the number two official at the NYPD had accepted the judge's ruling that Pantaleo lose his job and handed the findings over to O'Neill.
O'Neill said it was "clear that Daniel Pantaleo can no longer effectively serve as a New York City police officer."
In this case, the unintended consequence of Eric Garners death must have a consequence of its own," he said, adding that "there are absolutely no victors here today."

Judge in Disciplinary Trial Recommends NYPD Officer in Eric Garner Case Be Fired
Which means that, while it was considered reckless and against Department rules, the court could not prove that he did it with the intent to kill.An NYPD judge recommended firing the officer accused of using a banned chokehold in the July 2014 death of Eric Garner, bring some measure of closure to a nationally influential case that local and federal officials all declined to criminally prosecute.
The judge found officer Daniel Pantaleo — who has been on modified administrative duty in the years since Garner's death on a Staten Island street corner — guilty of "reckless assault" when he used an impermissible chokehold on the 43-year-old father, according to two sources familiar with the decision, who said the report was extremely detailed.
Pantaleo was found not guilty of "intentional strangulation," the sources said.

text: These are the best Vanguard funds for those looking for a combination of low costs and steady income. Thinkstock By Kent Thune July 29, 2016 Some of the best Vanguard funds kick off steady income, which makes them top choices for dividend lovers.See Also from Kiplinger: Best Fidelity Index Funds for the Money In a low-rate environment, smart investors looking for dividends will do their best to find mutual funds with low expenses because every bit of return that can be squeezed out of a fund is just as important as the yield. Also, when searching for the best funds that pay dividends, don't just look for the highest yields. It's smart to have a balance of risk, return and yield. As I said in my article, 7 Best Dividend Mutual Funds to Count On: "Dividend funds with the highest yields, if they come along with high expense ratios and with excessive market risk, can ironically reduce your investment income by putting a big dent in your principal" when stock prices take a dive. See Also from InvestorPlace: 7 Stocks to Buy in the Healthcare Sweet Spot So, with the idea of keeping costs low and getting decent yields without exposing your income portfolio to excessive market risk, here are the best Vanguard funds for dividend lovers. Advertisement Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index (VHDYX) SEC Yield: 3.10% Expenses: 0.16%, or $16 annually per $10,000 invested Minimum Initial Investment: $3,000 For investors that love passive management and low expenses just as much as their dividends, there's arguably not a better mutual fund to buy than Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index (VHDYX). Advertisement VHDYX tracks the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index, which consists of U.S. companies, such as Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM), and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), that consistently pay above-average dividends. On top of the dividends, VHDYX shareholders get potential for market-beating returns, as evidenced by the one-, three- and five-year performance ranks that place the fund ahead of at least 85% of funds that invest in large value stocks. And when the market turns negative, large value funds like VHDYX tend to see lower price declines than the major market indices. Vanguard Real Estate Index (VGSIX) SEC Yield: 3.41%* Advertisement Expenses: 0.26% Minimum Initial Investment: $3,000 The real estate sector is known for high dividend payouts and Vanguard Real Estate Index (VGSIX) is one of the best funds to buy in this category. Although the near-term potential for rising interest rates can create headwinds for real estate investment trusts, a low-interest-rate environment keeps borrowing costs low for homebuyers and developers. This explains the market-crushing returns in 2016, which is a nice bonus to add to the yields. Advertisement Some of the top real estate names you'll find in VGSIX include Simon Property Group Inc (SPG), Public Storage (PSA) and Welltower Inc (HCN). See Also from InvestorPlace: 7 Junior Gold Miners That Will Climb 20% or More *Note: VGSIX pays quarterly dividends. Vanguard does not quote a 30-Day SEC Yield, but calculates an unadjusted effective yield, which is 3.41% as of June 30, 2016, and is based on the full amount of REIT distributions (dividend income, as well as return of capital and capital gain). Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index (VDAIX) SEC Yield: 2.05% Expenses: 0.19% Minimum Initial Investment: $3,000 A solid portfolio of dividend funds is not complete without a fund like Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index (VDAIX). VDAIX tracks the Nasdaq U.S. Dividend Achievers Select Index, which focuses on high quality companies like Johnson & Johnson, The Coca-Cola Co (KO), and PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP) that have the potential to increase their dividends over time. Investors seeking dividends love funds like VDAIX because they get the potential for growing dividends in a passive way without actively seeking higher dividends on their own. See Also from Kiplinger: Best Vanguard Funds for Your 401(k) Investors seeking dividends love funds like VDAIX because they get the potential for growing dividends in a passive way without actively seeking higher dividends on their own.

Swans of Beaten Linen: Light Reflections
"People lie in the sun not because they worship it – for they are healthy animals, and only wish the sun to worship them." —Keith Tinder, The Fair Inconstant
And light's sole occupation?: To elevate sight to the realm of possibility. The side benefits are, in the main, metaphysical extensions of this release into chance ( an arena of accidents), and are dependent upon subtle modulations in men's ambitions. To "see" may be sufficient, maybe even the most difficult attainment: consideration, conjecture, and all the more limpid or less livid catalogues of philosophy are secondary: even crude reminiscences of some bloated existence, whose body will not withstand the scribbles and tattoos of explicating sentiment.
Still, we do live in these winding tributaries, these cold capillaries, these derivatives of the actions we might praise so highly and (in the process of praising) lose beneath ornamentation, nostalgia, endless machinations of religion and science. It is always beyond us, this simple performance, and for that we should be grateful.
If much is made of light, it is because light reveals all without comment. It is ultimately "hip," blithe, and cool to our conjectures. Certainly, there exist sentimental correspondences in the sunrise, in the dying light, in the ways in which light sinks into the surface of a person's illness and kneels. But these remain characteristics more of the human mind, as symptoms of a diseased appropriation of nature and the lure of new forms of necrophilia. Light itself is so disinterested in its revelations and creations that we are reminded of a new height of aristocratic disengagement, so pure and terrifying (because it is an extreme socio-pathic coolness) that we are forced to bear light as the final ecology of horror – light's clinical intrusions, its distant courses, are finally too reminiscent of this century's most scientific "enthusiams." light can reveal all because it is hardened against emotion. At its brightest, light remains faraway, and untouched.
And just as a flayed prisoner, or the victim of kidnap, will pause to invest the torturer with several qualities of common humanity in an attempt to comprehend the event within a social context frame they have given their lives up to, so we drape these works of light in pathos. exultation, and the like, because we wish the light to love us, as if we were somehow of its family. Light is alone—singularly—and yet feels multitudinous, while we are multitudinous and yet feel alone and singular. From this we might conjecture that, in some ancient and mysterious way, light and man have exchanged consciousnesses, much to the glorification of light and the demerit of mankind.
Light is it own best confidante, and sexual double. We are envious of its easy egotism, we admire its royalist postures, and we are disgusted only by what it reveals to us. Most of all though, we are simultaneously fascinated and repulsed by the manner in which light makes love to itself in the open like any crude beast, and yet retains a rational detachment purer than Apollo.
When absolutely nothing can be freely imagined,
patience becomes everything.
Snow on a faded red curtain recalls to me
a failing industry in a country's interior.
The secret history of the Sentimental is an umbrella in the rubble.
Today, and quite by accident, I discovered that no mechanism –
no matter how finely engineered – will turn a wolf into a nightingale.
No politician can play even one decent round of Philosopher's Tears.
Even the laziest chicken doesn't have the time to be frisked.
Even a tired tiger gets the first glass of wine.
The logic of the trout will never pay all the debts of the river.
Those empty spaces between trees? More trees.
Toss a stone at a poet's head to elicit a
mild fluorescence. My favorite flashlight.
Sleep is a dissident colony which I travel across to strike up
a shallow conversation with the man in front of me.
There is even a darkness which stinks of opinion.
There exists a certain type of luxury even in poverty, but no train stations.
Injured anarchists should strive to own sleds.
Big speeches fill little graveyards.
An orange is that dress which a symphony imagines wearing.
Poverty is a charity magnet, and exists
to provide employment for those of lazy virtue.
You can devour any door simply by opening it.
Strangeness is a labor-intensive delight,
so I am never unemployed, only unpaid.
Am I hungry? Ask my dog.
Bamboo is just a ghost yawning.
The church piano an exhausted coral elephant.
Any ladder looks sincere leaning against a drowned hospital.
Reading a good book, and immediately forgetting it
forms one of my sharpest pleasures.
I have noticed that some self-liberated persons construct tombs
in which doorbells have been installed, because they not only wish
to ignore visitors, but also to let them know they are being ignored.
Rain will not readily agree to be a passenger.
Friendship is an apron constructed from a single rotten acorn.
Down my street there lives a woman who likes to claim she is "like the grass". It is true; she represents a natural form of drainage.

I was doing a bit of a Goodhood shop the other day and because I'm incapable of ever just going to a website/shop, getting what I need, then leaving… I bought this Kate Moss fanzine.
Moss is boss, so any magazine featuring her face generally appeals – but a magazine dedicated to Moss in an inebriated state? Well that's something new. I shan't ruin it for you, just in case you get it, but it definitely features some of my favourite Kate Moss drunken escapades. The couture ball ripped dress! The leaning out of the window night!
There's more to the zine than lols though; it's published by Catalogue Library which is a project dedicated to collating found images and publishing them as zines. They were originally exhibited as part of the LOOP Arts Fair in 2011 and as well as Moss-themed mags you can also choose from such delights as ghost sightings, punks viewed from behind and bad tattoos of Michael Jackson. Next on my list; Babes on Segways.
