Civilian Gallantry List: 2013
The names of the individuals who have received The George Medal, The Queen's Gallantry Medal and The Queen's Commendation for Bravery.
The Queen has been graciously pleased to approve the following awards of The George Medal and The Queen's Gallantry Medal and for the publication in The London Gazette of the names of those shown below as having received an expression of Commendation for Bravery.
George Medal
PC Ian Andrew Dibell, Essex Police (deceased)
For attempting to disarm an armed assailant
On 9 July 2012 PC Ian Dibell was off duty and at home when he was alerted that a firearm was being discharged nearby. He went to investigate, returning briefly only to pick up his warrant card and mobile telephone. Outside a lone gunman was in pursuit of two of his neighbours who were running away, having already been shot at. The gunman was in a car that had come to a temporary stop and this enabled PC Dibell to intercept the vehicle. He leaned in through an open window and attempted to disarm the gunman. Using both his hands, he attempted to wrestle the revolver from the gunman but was fatally shot when a bullet was discharged. The gunman took his own life the next day. The coroner's verdict was that PC Dibell was killed unlawfully.
PC Dibell intervened in a dangerous situation to protect the public from an armed and dangerous gunman. He acted without hesitation and by returning to his home to collect his warrant card and telephone indicates that he was preparing to act as a police officer to protect the local community from further harm. He knew that a gunman was shooting at members of the public and must have assumed the gunman was still armed. He could have observed from a safe distance and requested assistance without tackling the gunman. But he believed that innocent lives were at risk (including children returning home from school) and that he had to act quickly and decisively. PC Dibell chose to place himself in a violent, volatile and dangerous situation in order to protect others. He was off duty, unarmed and attempted to disarm and detain a gunman who had already demonstrated a willingness to use his weapon.
Queen's Gallantry Medal
PC Claire Louise Murphy, Greater Manchester Police
For saving the life of a women who had fallen into a river
On 9 June 2012, a 56 year old woman was walking with 2 children, aged 5 and 11 years respectively, and their dog along the banks of the River Irwell in Salford. The river at the time was in full flow and the water level higher than normal due to heavy rainfall.
One of the children threw the dog's ball into the river and the dog jumped into the river to retrieve it. However, due to the fast flow of the river and a steep vertical drop of some 2.5 metres from the river bank, the dog was unable to get out and became increasingly distressed in its failure to reach safety. The woman leaned on a nearby branch and attempted to rescue her dog but the branch broke and she fell into the river. She too was unable to climb out and reach the safety of the riverbank. Fortunately, she managed to grasp some weeds and scrubs at the side of the bank and got a foothold keeping her head above water. The eldest child ran to get help.
PC Murphy arrived at the scene and immediately summoned rescue services. She reassured the woman that help was on its way and encouraged her to hold on. She attempted to pass her utility belt as a safety line but the woman was unable to reach it. With the river in full flow against her, the woman's grasp was weakening, her head going under water several times. She was struggling to retain her hold and there was a real risk of her being swept away. PC Murphy therefore took the decision to jump into the river to save her. She held the woman using her right arm, held onto a protruding rock with the other hand and wedged her foot against something in the river.
To exacerbate the situation the foothold of the woman then gave way. She was pulled away leaving her with neither a foothold nor the clutch of weeds and just being held by the police officer. PC Murphy remained calm and continued to reassure the woman that help was on its way and she would be rescued.
PC Murphy knowingly put herself in an extremely dangerous, life-threatening situation and displayed courage throughout the ordeal and her actions probably saved the woman's life. Due to the force and speed of the water, had either woman become detached from the river banking it is likely they would have been lost downstream. Throughout the incident she remained calm despite knowing that both her own and the woman's lives were at risk. She continually held on, despite the force of the river against her and showed great determination and resilience.
Plamen Petkov, Civilian (deceased)
For saving a young girl from drowning
On 26 May 2012, Plamen Petkov and 2 friends were walking on the beach at West Wittering, Sussex when they saw a woman shouting for help because her young daughter was in an inflatable rubber ring that was drifting away from shore in a red flagged prohibited area. Without hesitation and despite "do not swim or enter the water" signs, Plamen Petkov entered the water and started to swim towards the child, who was by now some 50 metres from shore due to the strong winds and a strong undercurrent.
The child was being taken out to sea very quickly. He reached the child but it is believed she was too scared to stay in the rubber ring and instead climbed onto his back. He started to make his way back to shore but due to the weight of the child on his back, and the current and strong winds, his head kept going under the water, although he did manage to keep the child's head above the water.
A female member of the public saw what was happening and swam out and managed to reach him. She took the child from him and started to swim back to the shore while one of Plamen Petkov's friends tried to help him. Once the child was safely returned to her mother, the female then went back into the water to help.
At this point Plamen Petkov was rendered unconscious. He was dragged to shore where he was found to be not breathing. The female helper was a theatre nurse and she started to perform CPR immediately which she continued to administer until the lifeguards and ambulance crew arrived. Sadly they were unable to revive him and he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Plamen Petkov did not hesitate in answering the shouts for help and it is likely that his selfless actions saved the life of a young girl. He must have known and understood the risk he was taking. Even if he did not, it must soon have become apparent to him but he did not turn back. Once he had reached the child he did not release her to save himself even when he got into difficulty.
The Queen's Commendation for Bravery
Andrew Bilton, Civilian
Brian Keane, Civilian
Mrs Joanne Keane, Civilian
For rescuing 2 drivers involved in a road traffic accident
On 23 June 2013, Brian and Joanne Keane were travelling on the West Stafford bypass in Dorset when they came upon the scene of two vehicles involved in a collision. Brian Keane ran to offer what assistance he could to the occupants of the two cars.
He found that both drivers were badly injured. Having been joined by his wife, they managed to get one of the drivers out of his vehicle. Another person, Andrew Bilton then appeared and he and Brian Keane attempted to get the driver out of the second car.
Unfortunately, this proved difficult because both front doors of the car were jammed shut. By this time smoke from the other car had turned to flames but both men continued to try force the door open, but to no avail. The fire from the other car had now spread to the car both men were attending. Refusing to give up, Brian Keane managed to get the back door open, got inside the car and was able to force the driver's door open slightly.
He then went outside and with the help of Andrew Bilton managed to open the door from the outside and got the driver out to safety. Shortly after, Joanne Keane administered first aid to the driver, ensuring that his airwaves remained open.
It is almost certain that all 3 were instrumental in saving the lives of the two crash victims. Their quick actions ensured that the victims were kept safe until the emergency services arrived. Brian and Joanne Keane and Andrew Bilton all put their lives in danger from the moment they became involved in the rescue. The crashed vehicles, which were a few steps away, could have exploded and possibly 2 of them, if not all 3, could have been killed.
PC Jonathan Henry, Bedfordshire Police, deceased
For attempting to apprehend an armed suspect
On 11 June 2007 PC Henry and a colleague were deployed to a report of a stabbing in Luton town centre. 2 other police officers were the first to arrive and the suspect was quickly located. He was armed with a knife and threatened all 4 police officers.
The police officers spread out to contain the suspect and PC Henry approached from the rear. The suspect was ordered to drop his knife but he did not respond. One officer sprayed the suspect with CS gas but it had no effect. The suspect turned on PC Henry and backed him into a confined space.
The officer was then stabbed as he backed away and fell to the ground. The suspect immediately jumped on top of PC Henry and stabbed him in the chest again. The suspect then walked away but was arrested by armed officers a short time later. The man was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.
PC Henry was aware that a stabbing had already taken place and that the suspect was still in possession of a knife. The suspect refused to comply with the instructions of the police officers present so there was a need to contain him. Despite being unarmed PC Henry took the decision to attempt to detain the suspect.
He was aware of the danger he faced when he took the decision to try and detain the suspect. He knew the suspect was armed and that he had demonstrated his willingness to use the knife in his possession. Unfortunately, due to the confined space in which he found himself, PC Henry was left with no opportunity to retreat.
PC Colin Swan, Metropolitan Police (nominated by Hampshire Constabulary)
For evacuating women and children from a burning vehicle
PC Swan was off duty and travelling with his family on 31 July 2009 on the M3 motorway when he noticed a double-decker coach with smoke pouring out of it. On closer inspection he saw that the rear nearside wheel was on fire. He pulled his car in front of the coach in order to bring it to a standstill. Once the coach had stopped, he entered the vehicle and ordered all the passengers to evacuate.
The majority of passengers were women with young children (66 in total and on a day trip to the seaside), some of whom had difficulty descending from the upper deck. PC Swan went up the stairs in order to help bring the children down and pass them off the coach.
By this time, flames were licking up the side of the coach and there was an explosion which tilted the coach to the nearside. Despite this, he continued to carry the children off the coach. As the last of the women came down the stairs there was another explosion; fire had taken hold of the rear of the coach but despite this PC Swan still went upstairs to check that everyone had left the coach.
PC Swan put himself in danger to help evacuate those on the coach. He could have been overcome by smoke or trapped by the flames or the coach might have exploded if the flames had reached the fuel tank.

The former Milan forward dismissed questions about a potential move to Palmeiras, reaffirming his intention to return to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean
Alexandre Pato has reiterated his desire to secure a transfer to a European side.
The former AC Milan striker's loan spell with Sao Paulo comes to an end next month and president of his parent club Corinthians, Roberto de Andrade, previously said they are "praying to sell" him.
Pato, who has been linked with Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool, said he would be cheering for Palmeiras against Santos in the Copa do Brasil final, even though such a result could potentially rob Sao Paulo of a place in the Copa Libertadores next year.
"Santos are a great club, but I will be supporting Palmeiras," Pato said.
"[President] Paulo Nobre is a good guy and has done a great job at Palmeiras. We have to rely on our own work."
The 26-year-old insisted his decision was not based on a possible transfer to the Allianz Parque as he remains focused on returning to Europe.
"I have not talked with anyone from Palmeiras. I see what happened in Palmeiras as an example. A lot was changed and they improved," he added.
"It's not because I praised the president that I have an ulterior motive.
"I hope to return to Europe."

Car insurance represents, for most people, one of the highest household costs. Since it's compulsory in many countries, there's no way to avoid spending money on it. This is, at the same time, a good and a bad thing as, in case of accident, you'd have to pay any damage yourself if you were uninsured. So, is there a way to mitigate the pain of such "necessary evil"? The answer is yes. By following these suggestions, you could see your insurance premium greatly reduced.
1. Keep a good driving record
This is the single most important advice. A good driving history is crucial to pay a low premum. Accidents and convictions are written on your driving record, and, in best case, are kept for many years. They are readily available to insurance companies, which will surely charge extra if your record is bad.
2. Get a quote from more than one insurer
Some people believe that, given the same driving record and choosing the same coverage, every insurance company charges the same amount. This is not true, the difference can vary significantly. This is because the risk of insuring you is assessed varies from company to company. Parameters like the location where you live, your driving history, the type of car and so on are considered differently. It always pays out to get multiple quotes and compare them, before making a choice.
3. Brokers are not always the best choice
Brokers can often offer an insurance policy at a discount, but they don't necessarily often the best price. This is because they get quotes from a limited number of insurances, i.e. only the ones they chose to do business with. For this reason, don't assume that the broker did the step 2 on your behalf, as it won't be true. Contact several brokers, and compare the quotes you get with the ones you found by yourself.
4. Consider increasing your excess
The "excess" (also called deductible) is the amount of money you'll have to pay out of your pocket before an insurance will cover any damage related to a claim. A higher excess will result in a lower premium, as this will mean that the insurance won't have to pay anything for minor accidents such as scratches and dents. However, it's wise to calculate how much would you be able to afford paying yourself and set the excess accordingly.
5. Review your coverage and check if you can reduce it
Usually, when buying a new car, it's a good idea to choose the best coverage. This is especially true if the car is expensive. However, the value of your vehicle will decrease with time, and comprehensive coverage would not be worthwile. In such case, lowering it to 3rd party, fire and theft could significantly reduce your premium.
6. Consider the model and age of your car
The model and age of your car are another important factor that insurance companies consider when calculating your premium. A new car would be more expensive to insure than an old one, and a fast sportscar would be even dearer, due to increased risk of theft and accidents. Safety ratings of the vehicle are also taken into account so, if you are going to buy a car, make sure you consider all these factors.
7. Don't be shy, and ask for a discount
Many people feel uncomfortable with haggling, but you should overcome this feeling and do it. Insurance companies are used to be asked for discounts and, in worst case, the only thing that will happen is that they will say no.
8. Evaluate the possibility of getting "no claim bonus" coverage
The "no claim bonus", or "Accident forgiveness" coverage could save you a lot of money in case of accident if you have a long, clean driving record. A 5 year clean driving record could give you a 50% discount or more; this would be lost if you have an accident and you are at fault, with the result that, from next year onwards, you could have to pay a huge increase. The no claim bonus coverage will allow you to retain your clean record in case you have an accident (some companies allow up to two accidents in a three year period).
9. Value of loyalty is overestimated
While it's true that most insurance companies will give you a discount if you have been with them for several years, this is not a good reason not to shop around as described in point 2. This is because, sometimes, even with the discount you would receive, you'd end up paying more with your current company than with a new one, particularly because other companies have all the interest in taking you away from their competitor. So, once again, don't be lazy and, most important, don't feel ashamed of leaving your current insurance.
10. Check the possibility of attending an Advance Driving Course
Advance Driving Courses are available to drivers with any level of experience. In such courses, trainers will teach you how to react in case of unforeseen events, such as large puddles of water in the road, ice, snow, animals crossing, and so on. The training is safe, as it's performed at low speed, and it will improve your driving skills. Even better, it could earn you another signicant discount.
Car insurance represents, for most people, one of the highest household costs. Since it's compulsory in many countries, there's no way to avoid spending money on it. This is, at the same time, a good and a bad thing as, in case of accident, you'd have to pay any damage yourself if you were uninsured. So, is there a way to mitigate the pain of such "necessary evil"? The answer is yes. By following these suggestions, you could see your insurance premium greatly reduced.

What can I use to prevent slipping on ice on my deck. I have heard that salt is harmful to carpets, if you carry it back into the house on your shoes. I want to also use something that is safe for animals (just in case they should eat it).
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
I have not tried this but have heard that cat litter will work...would like to know if anyone has tried this. I do know its a good idea to keep some in the trunk of the car incase you get stuck on ice ..sprinkle some around the tires an you will get some traction.
Hi, I've heard of using cat litter....it should be safe for the animals! Hope it works for you.
There is an ice melting pet safe salt sold in pet stores and some supermarkets not sure name think something
like saf t-paws.
Sand works fine, but it's a little messy if people/pets track it into the house.
Salt of any kind, rock salt, or kitty litter.
Cornmeal works and it will not hurt your carpet and is safe for any animals that may eat it.
You can use clay cat litter.
You could use chicken grit, which is basically very small pieces of gravel. It is not expensive and can be purchased in feed stores. The only disadvantage I can think of for using it is that it needs to be swept up at the end of the season. I've used it for the last three winters and have been really pleased with the results on both snow and ice.
cracked corn works good, and the birds love it after the snow melts off. You can get it at feed stores.

Nine Europeans including three British climbers were killed in an avalanche that could have been sparked by a single falling ice slab, while they attempted to climb Mont Blanc in the Alps.
The disaster, which followed a period of unseasonably hot weather, resulted in 11 other climbers being taken to hospital. Four more are still unaccounted for.
Along with the Britons, two Germans, two Spanish and two Swiss climbers were killed. They were in a group with climbers from France and Serbia when they were stuck by the wall of snow.
Police from the French ski resort town of Chamonix believe the avalanche could have been sparked by a climber knocking free a slab of ice and causing a landslide that smashed into the mountaineers 4,000 metres (13,000ft) up the north face of Mont Maudit - the so-called "cursed mountain" - in the Mont Blanc range.
Swept off the mountain face
The gendarmerie told Associated Press that the avalanche appeared to have been caused by a 40cm-thick block of ice breaking off and sliding down the mountainside.
It set off a chain reaction and grew into a mass of snow and rock that was 2 metres thick and 50 metres long. The climbers, who will have been tied together in groups, were swept off the mountain face.
Col Bertrand Francois of the Haute-Savoie gendarme service said: "The first elements that we have from testimony are that a climber could have set loose a sheet of ice, and that sheet then pulled down the group of climbers below. I should say that the incline was very, very steep on this northern face.
The climbers are thought to have set off from Refuge des Cosmiques and the accident happened two-and-a-half hours later.
Dozens of police and other rescue workers used dogs to find survivors and the dead in high altitudes and through tonnes of snow.
Jonas Mowstrup, a Danish climber, told Ritzau news agency that he heard about the accident when he was making his way down Mont Blanc.
Overhanging slabs of ice
He said: "Three days ago we ascended [Mont Maudit]. it was shocking to hear, it could have easily been us. It is scary and tragic, [but] it's part of the thrill that something can go wrong."
Warnings had been issued to climbers about the unusually snowy period, while in the week leading up to the tragedy, climbers had tweeted that high winds had created overhanging slabs of ice forming on the northern slope. The climbers who were hit are understood to have been an experienced group, although some were with professional guides.
French investigators have been called in. French interior minister Manuel Valls paid tribute to the rescuers.
He said: "I admire their drive in the difficult conditions in which they have been working - they're quite perilous.
The Mont Blanc massif is a popular climbing spot, with hundreds taking on its challenging peaks every year. Mont Maudit, which in French means "Cursed Mountain", is the third highest peak in the range.

Hello All,
Hope everyone is doing ok.
Randa - I think someone else answered the question you asked me about sniffing. I have been on the downregging drug Synarel which my clinic seem to favour. This is inhaled twice a day (hence sniffing). I stay on this until 36 hours before EC. I also started injections of Menopur on Tuesday to stimulate my ovaries. Next appointment is Tuesday to see how I have reacted. On my last cycle I only produced 6 eggs (which the nurses said was good 'for someone my age'!!!!! - 40) so this time my consultant wanted to change the drug (I was on puregon last time) and as I was given a high dose they didn't think it would help by increaseing it. The nurses wanted to keep me on puregon but the consultant thought it was better to try this other one - I just hope she is right! To complicte things even more I've now developed a urine infection so am now on antibiotics too - the clinic says this is ok but I have a real dread that they will cancel the treatment when I go for my scan next week. I REALLY hope they don't.
We have decided that we'll go down the adoption route if IVF doesn't work for us after 3 attempts but even that might be difficult given our ages. Seems very unfair that we could now provide a really nice life for a child but we may be denied it because we waited. It does seem so unfair.

Cheap Flights in Nigeria: How to Get Them
It is possible to get domestic flights in Nigeria at rates far below those normally quoted by the airlines. For instance, air fares can be as high as N25,000 for Lagos-Abuja, N21,000 for Abuja-Kano, N19,000 for Lagos-Kano, N22,000 for Lagos-Port Harcourt, and N19,000 for Lagos-Enugu.
However, for someone person who knows how to go about it, he or she can get up to 50% off in some cases. You can have Lagos-Abuja for N10,000, Abuja-Kano for N15,500, Lagos-Kano for N14,000, Lagos-Port Harcourt for N16,000 and Lagos-Enugu for N16,000.
It is the same picture for virtually all Nigeria domestic commercial flight destinations. If you care to find out, you may discover that the person seated next to you on the same flight paid a fare that is much more or much less than you paid.
The question is, how do you get the cheap flights?
1. Plan your trips
Planning your trips involve anticipating the need for business, social and leisure travels, and scheduling them well in advance.
Leisure and social travels may understandably fall within periods of heavy travels but scheduling them well in advance will help in securing a low fare.
For business travels, as much as possible, timing should avoid the busy travel hours of the day and days of the week. Last-minute flight bookings leave no room for a low fare.
2. Window shop for flights
The opportunity to window shop for flights in Nigeria is getting better with new airlines joining the domestic airline business. Prior to May 2014, the active participants were only Arik Air, Aero Contractors, Overland Airways, First Nation and Med View Airlines. However, Azman Air added its flight operations in May and Discovery Air has also joined.
Peace Airlines has already obtained an Air Operators Certificate from the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, meaning it can hit the skies anytime from now, while Westlink airlines and Hak Airlines are at advanced stages in the process of obtaining their Air Operators Certificates.
As more seats become available for various destinations by different airlines, fares are being used as a weapon of competition to attract passengers. Air fares for same destination may differ by time of the day, day of the week or date in the year, from the same airline. Fares for the same destination may also differ by airline.
It is interesting to know that information in respect of the variations in fares is always available on the websites of the various airlines operating in the country. This makes it possible for prospective passengers to search around the websites of different airlines to compare flight options and choose the ones they find convenient, considering price and timing.
Based on results from searches for flights offered by different airlines for a proposed destination, one can adjust one's schedule to fit a flight that is considered highly advantageous.
Apart from the various rates quoted on the airlines' booking platforms, enquiries from airlines can reveal other fare arrangements that are rock-bottom but with certain terms and conditions that one may want to take or leave.
By following the above guide, a discerning prospective air traveler in Nigeria will surely get an opportunity to secure a cheap flight from the domestic commercial airline operators.

text: Last weekend I did a shoot for an old work colleague I hadn't seen in a few years. Congratulations to her and her partner on finding their soul mates so young. The cutest couple ever, entwined with their matching tattoos. Their are lots of beautiful photos from this shoot, including her family snaps. Effort to the boys for not stressing too much on the impending start of the footy!

Stern but realistic advice to those with their hopes pinned on the art of cooking, along with some strangely obvious culinary comments for such an audience.
Boulud's short, formal-toned work is ostensibly aimed at those who have already logged some substantial hours in the kitchen: "You, on the other hand, having spent three years in cooking school, know a lot more about our craft than I did when I threw myself into this career." But why, then, does he write, "It all starts with heating the ingredients"? Doesn't his audience know, when it comes to roasting and sautéing, that this is the case, or that "braising means to cook on a braisier"? Such comments suggest that Boulud, celebrated chef at New York's four-star Daniel, among others, is reaching for a wider audience, but it also reveals a modest lack of focus, for most home cooks don't need to know his more arcane details—for instance, that venison "does not have space in its fibers to absorb and hold moisture." Still, there's information here that anyone with a glimmer of interest in top-level kitchen life will find intriguing, including even the dedication: "When you are not working, you are thinking about work." Boulud tells us everything from where the profits come from (dessert and wine) and what the team character of a great kitchen is like (woe to the sous-chef who forgets that "there is only room for one ego in a kitchen when the crush of service is on"), to the need for paying your dues at each station in the kitchen and the absolute necessity of attention to detail, from the quality of the ingredients to the welcoming smile of the maitre d'.
Something more fascinating than advice and admonitions: the chance to live briefly inside the head of a great chef who keeps more balls in the air than any juggler ever attempted.

I didnt actually get to eat a single one and I was lamenting this to him. So he brought me one back. A lovely little gingerbread man one.
These were by far the favourites so I thought I would share the recipe etc with you!
The gingerbread recipe makes a serious amount of gingerbread. I've got a sizeable chunk of dough now in my freezer after making the gingerbread men.
125gr butter
115gr golden caster sugar
2 eggs
10gr dark brown sugar
1tsp ginger powder
1tsp baking powder
125gr self raising flour
12 small chunks of jarred stem ginger (cut into about 1/2cm cubes)
Gingerbread Men
350gr plain flour
2tsp ground ginger
1tsp baking powder
100gr cold butter cut into cubes
175gr soft brown sugar
1 egg
4tbsp golden syrup
1, First make the gingerbread by sifting the dry ingredients together into a bowl and rub in the butter.
2, Add in the sugar and mix well.
3, Add in the eggs and syrup and mix together to form a dough. Wrap in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for an hour.
4, Preheat the oven to 180o/c. Remove from the fridge, lightly dust a worktop with flour and roll out to about 1cm thick. Stamp out gingerbread men with a cutter.
5, Spread out on a lined baking sheet and bake for 5-10minutes until golden. Cool before decorating and use on cupcakes.
6, To make the cupcakes, cream together the butter and two sugars until pale and fluffy.
7, Beat in the eggs
8, Sift in the flour, ground ginger and baking powder and fold in until well combined.
9, Fill cupcake cases with the mixture and poke under the surface of the batter a chunk of ginger
10, Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180o/c until golden and springy to the touch. Cool well before icing.
Ginger Buttercream
115gr soft butter
260 gr icing sugar
1/2tsp or 1tsp ground ginger (depends how gingery you like things)
1, Beat the icing sugar and butter together with the ground ginger until smooth.
2, Using a large star nozzle, pipe swirls on top.
3, Gently sit a gingerbread man on top.

Memphis in May. What does it mean to you? Mud-encrusted shoes from Music Fest? The thick, sweet pall of barbecue smoke that hangs over downtown on the month's third weekend? Fireworks at the Sunset Symphony as the finale of "The 1812 Overture"? All of the above?
My first trip to Memphis was in May 1992. I was in town for a job interview, and I came in a day early to take the measure of this mysterious (to me, anyway) Southern place. I drove all over town, and I was dazzled by the azaleas, the lush greenery, the towering canopy of massive oaks stretching across the Midtown streets.
Downtown was not impressive then, but I'm a nature boy at heart, so that didn't bother me much. I cruised around, checking out the green areas on my map, which led me to Shelby Forest and to Shelby Farms, where I walked along the Wolf River. It's not exaggerating to say that Memphis' green spaces helped swing my decision to move here.
That evening, I visited a friend who lived in the Cooper-Young neighborhood. As we sat on his porch, a mockingbird sang ceaselessly, the loudest sound I could hear. There was no traffic noise, just the occasional rumble of a FedEx plane.
"I like this town," I said. "I like the way it feels."
I've learned since, of course, that May doesn't last all year, that it's followed by heat and humidity that will melt your socks. (But then there's a gorgeous autumn that stretches for months.) And I know, of course, that climate and green spaces and access to nature are only part of the story. This city has problems, as most cities do. But that's another column.
I want to write about what I call the "perfect day." It happens every May. I can't tell you when, precisely, but I know it when I feel it. It's the day when every single tree and bush is fully leafed, before the predations of bugs, heat, and drought have had a chance to do their damage. It's the day I step outside, and the morning air is cool, the sky a clarion blue. The joggers are smiling, and they don't know why.
It came this week. The trees were as green as the first green. The irises were in bloom. A mockingbird was scat-singing from a magnolia's crown. A fat white cat lay sunning on the bricks.
The perfect day. The real Memphis in May. I took a breath and said to myself, "I like this town. I like the way it feels."

Best. Gadget. Ever.
Tuesday, December 18th, 2007 • No Comments on Best. Gadget. Ever.
Those of you who know me, know I'm not particularly fond of gadgets. (Well, there are exceptions.) Technology irritates me most of the time. I do not like fancy new stuff that is designed to make my life easier, better, faster but only confounds me as it breaks as soon as I
become addicted
get used to it. However…
This little gadget is awesome. Incredible. Amazing. There are not enough superlatives to describe it. I am an old-fashioned girl. Old school. Just plain old. I stick with the tried-and-true until I am forced to move into the next decade (or century). There have been very few moments in technological advancement that have impressed me enough to say, "I want that now!" I was nervous about switching from a desktop PC to a laptop Mac, but I will never, ever go back to either a desktop or a PC. Likewise, I was skeptical about the practicality of a wireless modem. Why would I need such a thing?
Well, for one… I can blog
. Seriously. It's incredible. (Did I say that already?) Oh, and I can post grades from anywhere. And answer e-mail from anywhere. And shop online… from anywhere. Heaven, I tell you.
(This blog post brought to you from Starbucks, where I did not have to pay for a T-Mobile connection.)
Thank you, Jay!

'Hullo, my covey! What's the row?'
Welcome to the long tail of Inside Project Red Stripe.
Whether you are a salty young internaute, washed ashore here at the whim of some cyberstorm, or a crusty old bibliophile ploughing a lonely cyber furrow in the pursuit of experience and authenticity, it may be helpful to know the following:
- Inside Project Red Stripe is also a book
- This site is free; the book isn't
- Each chapter of the book will eventually be matched by a post on this blog
- At the moment there are more book chapters than blog posts
- New blog posts appear regularly
- If you complete the blue box on the right, we'll e-mail each new chapter to you as it's posted on here
- If you want to find a chapter from the book on here, look at the list of 'Other Chapters' on the right
- The other labels are just that - a way of finding posts that might be interesting or relevant
- Please feel free to gallop about, doing good or not.
There are 10 Lessons here if you can't be bothered with all the other stuff:
In April 2006, when The Economist's Internet Strategy Group met to discuss ways of improving its presence on the Internet, the company was doing very well. The magazine's global circulation had just passed one million; Roll Call, a sister magazine, was the most widely read publication in the US Congress; and new titles had been successfully launched in China and India.
It was a time when most companies would have been happy to rest on their laurels, or focus on what was already working. Instead, The Economist approved a proposal from their CIO, Mike Seery, to recruit a team of five people plus himself from within the Group, remove them from their present jobs and give them £100,000 and six months to launch an innovative web-based product, service or business initiative.The enthusiastic young team encountered all kinds of problems and challenges. Many would be immediately recognisable to any innovation team. But the solutions they found were often ingenious and the lessons they learned could be applied in thousands of businesses around the world. In an unusually candid move, The Economist team invited me into their offices to observe them at work over a six-month period. The following is a condensed version of what I saw and learnt (and which has now been censored at scribd.com "at the request of The Economist". I wonder why?)
Team selection
Mike Seery recruited his fellow team members from across The Economist Group. He set out to attract people from within the editorial, marketing, sales and IT departments. He also managed to bring team members from around the world to the London-based project.
But recruiting team members from such diverse backgrounds meant they had a lot of work to do before they were able to work together efficiently. For a long time, the techies' knowledge of new and emerging technologies left some of the others floundering. And a lot of team-building needed to be done before the business of team-working could get under way.
The Economist kept open each team member's job for the six months that they were on Project Red Stripe, and the recruitment process made it clear that members were recruited on the understanding that this wasn't an opportunity for people who were bored with their jobs or wanting to leave.
Lesson 1
Consider carefully whether it is better to bring together a team of people who already know each other, share a common professional language and have skills in common – and then buy-in extra skills as needed. Or do you prefer to maximise the breadth of the knowledge-base while allowing extra time for team members to get used to one other?
Lesson 2
Recruiting team members who want to return to their existing jobs at the end of the project ensures that you don't just get people who are bored at work. But loyal employees are not necessarily the most creative – possibly the angry and disaffected may have some of the best ideas.
Although team members brought their own ideas about what The Economist should do next, the project began by asking readers and other interested parties for input. In so doing, they put their faith in "The Wisdom of Crowds". In fact, "the crowd" didn't come up with anything the team hadn't already thought of. So you could argue that the time they spent crowdsourcing was time wasted. On the other hand, what if they had come up with something spectacular that way? How would you ever know without asking?
Lesson 3
Think very carefully about who is best placed to identify the best innovations for your organisation. Is it you and your team? Independent experts? Your customers? Or the world at large?
The team had enormous freedom. There were no guidelines on what sort of innovations they should look for and they were free to launch the idea without first getting approval from senior management. In practice this caused a lot of headaches as the team weren't willing to jeopardise the business by launching an idea they believed in without first getting approval from the top. And, when they asked for approval, they didn't get it.
At times it appeared that too much freedom could also cause problems with creativity. Bearing in mind that the Project Red Stripe team could do anything – at one point they were working with top NGOs and their advisers to develop a business that would help the United Nations achieve one of its millennium goals. When world peace is within your grasp, why would you consider a humdrum, commercial web venture?
Lesson 4
Be realistic about how much freedom you can give an innovation team. It may turn into a millstone.
Lesson 5
"Thinking big" is necessary for a major innovation project, especially as it is notoriously difficult to get people to think laterally and outside the box. But giving people the freedom to try and change the world may leave them dazed by the enormity of what they might achieve.
Big companies are large because they're successful and success is a barrier to innovation - why try something new and risky when what you're already doing works? If it ain't broke, why fix it?
This was true for The Economist, which didn't need a new business and didn't need the two key ideas developed by Project Red Stripe.
Lesson 6
Do a risk assessment. Is the sponsor organisation under sufficient pressure to want to run with whatever idea the team comes up with?
Early in the project, Mike Seery arranged a number of teambuilding exercises. They worked well and were seen as significant moments in the team's history. But they also served to establish a particular mindset – "we're good at this and this, but less good at that".
Lesson 7
The moments in a team's trajectory when you most need to invest time and money in team-building exercises (late on, when the team's under extreme pressure) are, almost by definition, the moments when you haven't got time to run them.
From the outset, the Red Stripe team sometimes "wandered around" without a clear sense of what was going to happen next and without any clarity as to how to make things happen.
Instinctively, drifting seems like an appropriate thing for an innovation team to do; but it's also an uncomfortable and anxiety-inducing thing to do. Some say that safety is a prerequisite of creativity, and there were certainly some members of the Red Stripe team who worked hardest and fastest when they knew where they were going.
Lesson 8
Drifting "aimlessly" can be creative, but it's also scary. Participants (and Finance Directors) may want something more structured and regimented. Rules and guidelines can offer direction or serve as blinkers. It may be important to have some clear guidelines in place before an innovation project begins.
Most teams are likely to want to act democratically and move forward with general agreement that they're on the right lines. In Project Red Stripe, different team members became committed to different projects. That made the task of gaining consensus for just one idea difficult.
Lesson 9
Consider whether you should opt for ideas that excite everybody or simply for ones that command a majority. If you can't find an idea that excites everybody, how long should you keep looking for?
An obvious question for any innovation team is whether to start by thinking about the problems faced by a particular group of people, or whether to think about improving existing products, services or skills. Theorists tend to prefer the former, but plenty of great innovations resulted from companies finding new applications for existing technologies. (Think of classic innovations like 3M and Post-It Notes or NASA and Teflon).
While the Project Red Stripe team actively solicited a broad range of ideas about what they should do, they did not solicit ideas about the group(s) for whom they should implement those ideas. Should they have invited an archbishop, a genetic researcher, an aid worker and others to pitch for a particular target market?
Lesson 10
A deserving market may be motivational, even inspirational. But it doesn't necessarily make for good business. The team may need guidelines for how to weigh the value a commercial priority against an ethical one in business.
The Economist's Project Red Stripe succeeded in that it came up with a number of innovative and radical business proposals. It failed in that the company chose not to implement any of them at the time. It also succeeded in that it offered the business powerful insights into its culture and about future innovation projects (just a few of which are shared here) which may provide food for thought for other innovation teams around the globe.

Comment posted by me in REACH under the article "Presidential Election Application Opens 1 June"
Posted 2 Jun 2017
This is a sham election, a shameful one that some people have orchestrated as legal when it is not.
OTC was our first people-voted President – is this correct, is this a fact? If the answer is Yes [how can it be otherwise?], then it can be argued that TT was the second people-voted President. S R Nathan became President as a result of a walk-over; no other candidates stood for election.
In the race for the Presidency in which OTC contested, no one from a minority race entered for election when the field was open; only one candidate, a Chinese, stood against OTC; likewise, no one from a minority race entered the race when TT was voter-elected; all the three candidates who challenged him for the position were all Chinese.
What utter rubbish has the govt been spouting, about Singaporeans having the tendency to vote for someone from their own race – was the govt referring to the Presidential elections? Must be, because it was precisely concern with the Presidential elections that led to the govt's irrational actions in tweaking the Constitution. But, then, where is the evidence that minority candidate[s] had entered for the Presidential elections but was/were not voted in by the people?
We know the answer of course, it's all stated above; not a single member from a minority race had entered for people-voting Presidential elections and lost.
The govt may have been, and probably still is, harboring the illusion that racial consideration is applicable to the post of President only, and that the post of PM is not open to any member from a minority race. It has conveniently forgotten that for 58 years, the post of PM of Singapore has been reserved strictly for the Chinese, probably, as a result of a false illusion that no one from a minority race was capable of assuming the role of PM.

Manchester United are close to signing Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera, Press Association Sport understands.
Reports have suggested United are set to pay around £30million for the 24-year-old Spaniard, who they tried to recruit last summer, before his fee rises at the end of this month due to the terms of his contract.
And it is understood the deal could be wrapped up in the next few days.
Herrera would become the first new signing United have made since they confirmed Dutchman Louis van Gaal - currently in charge of the Holland national team at the World Cup - as the permanent successor to sacked manager David Moyes in May.

Today since I didn't have a prescribed workout, I planned on just doing a straight swim. I looked and I don't have record of what my PR is for a straight swim in the pool. No stopping at all. Just flipturn after flipturn, no drinks, no rest, just keep on going.....
My goal was 7100 yards (4 miles), but I felt so good at that point, I thought I'd just go for 9000. At 9000, I quickly looked at my watch while pushing off the wall and saw that I had time for 10,000 yards, so I did 1000 more.
I got my times at the following point:
3 miles(5300 yards) - 1:16:50
4 miles(7050 yards) - 1:42:59
10000 yards - 2:25:40
Most pool yards swam without stopping - 10000 yards
All being new PR's - Had some minor shoulder issues, but nothing to hinder my performance. Felt good about today's swim.

"Here's The Exact Secret Solution That Will Help You Permanently Get Rid Of Pre-mature Ejaculation And Increase Your Blokos Size…
Now You Too Can FINALLY Put An End To The Shame and Confidently Rock any Woman's World giving her the best Sex of Her Life- And it's Easier Than You Ever Thought Possible
From: Isaac Akinwole
Health Researcher and Activist
ATTENTION: Do You Still Struggle with Last long and Small Penis Size and Its Complications? If Yes, Pay Close attention o this Letter
Dear Friend,
What you are about to read is something that i have never shared with anyone before
My true life story will simply shock you.
That's simply a fact as what you are about to read inside this CONFIDENTIAL LETTER is really serious which is why you should spend the next few minutes reading, as it could literally transform your sex life starting today.
"The Fire Was No Longer There"
I was devastated and begged her If I had wronged her, she should forgive me and we would work things out to reignite the spark in our relationship.
She simply said it had nothing to do with me as I was a good and nice guy as every girl would definitely want to date me, but it cant just work out between us.
I went further to plead but she simply hung up the phone.
Well, I never truly understood her statement not until two week after, I saw her with another guy in a restaurant holding hand and talking seductively while I walked by them.
I was so angry to even see this guy worse still, not as handsome as I am and it actually felt like a gunshot to me.
Why would she leave me for this other guy?
It pained me so much, I had to call her best friend "Blessing" and begged her to let me know what was the problem and where I had gone wrong.
She signed and said I was a good guy actually but the problem lies with my 1minute kerewa on bed
As she complains that its just too small with also the fact that I don't have the required stamina as she can't comprehend having to LIVE a life with someone who would not be able to sexually satisfy her giving the weak erection of my john thomas and quick release issues.
It Really shocked me…
As I never actually thought my problem was going to be my john Thomas in between my legs.
Her friend simply told me that she knows I will find a girl that will take me for who I am but as for her friend.
It was completely over.
As the guy that I saw her with who was not even as handsome as me is actually well endowed than me hence the reason why she's now dating him.
As at then, I never really know what to do...
And that, my friend is the beginning of my research of what you are about to learn.
Few months after, I started dating another girl Bolanle
And this time around I simply wanted to see if it was going to be the same issue with what happened to the first girl.
In less than 3 months of been with her, she also called it quit that she was no longer interested.
It was not a surprise to me because I already knew why hence I didn't even bother to argue with her
And told myself that I would not date anyone until I found a solution to my problem
Because, the SAD truth is…
"If You Do Not Satisfy Your Woman Sexually... Sooner Or Later, She Is Going To Find Another Man Who Will Do Your Work For You!"
But, God forbid!
That is why the solution that I'm sharing with you here will help you to overcome this shameful problem because that's what helped me… as well as about 150 other men)
Just like me, YOU will use this powerful solution to:
FINALLY Put A Total End To The Shame, Frustration, And Insecurity That You Suffer As A Result Of Having A Small Penis and Cumming Too Quickly
You have suffered this enough but cannot allow yourself to continue to suffer in silence… (Especially, now that there is a PROVEN solution that has helped many Nigerian men)
Listen: Unless and until you do something FAST about your problem, you will NEVER be able to know the joy, satisfaction and confidence that come with being able to 'perform' like a REAL man.
And, the simple truth is…
A Man That Cannot Satisfy His Woman In Bed Is NOT Really A Man!
When you cannot satisfy your woman sexually, certain things will always happen:
· You will NEVER be able to command the FULL respect of any woman.
The thing is, there is a part of a woman's brain that is responsible for deep love… and that part is only triggered by orgasms…, which you cannot give her if you suffer from premature ejaculation or you have a small penis.
· She will always be nagging, grumbling or picking quarrels with you over little stuff…
You see, when you cannot satisfy her sexually, this always leave her frustrated, and she'll express her frustration in the form of nagging and quarrels.
· See, even if you take her out for romantic dinners every night…or you buy all manner of expensive gifts for her… you just cannot substitute great sexual experience with gifts or money…Well, except the girl doesn't love you and just want to 'chop' your money.
· Of course, you have heard stories of wife of very rich men who were caught sleeping with their gatemen or houseboy… just because their husband cannot perform well or satisfy them in bed.
Now Listen Up…
When you begin to satisfy your woman's sexual needs completely, YOU will see a complete change in your woman…
And, That's EXACTLY What You Want!
Isn't it?
Of course!
I am sure you have always dreamt of having a bigger penis and lasting longer in bed… so you can experience the joys of being a real man.
You also wish to have a longer-lasting erection so you can confidently make ANY woman go 'gaga' and explode with unspeakable pleasure every time you have sex.
But the problem is…
You just don't know 'how'!
Maybe you have tried all manner of things being advertised everywhere – herbs and concoctions, drugs, creams, mechanical devices, depressant, sprays…e.t.c,
Like you, I also wasted several thousands of Naira on a whole lot of those 'gimmicks', including some stuff that I'm even too embarrassed to mention here…
And, the results were always the same…
No Success. Nothing To Show For It!
At a point, I was scared that I would be stuck with this problem for the rest of my life!
But the Life Changing Story was a singular chance-meeting with a Specialist who shared…
… and gave me a FINAL solution to the two problems that almost ruined my life… and has made me 'waste' thousands of Naira for years, with no result.
The Solutions That Saved My Life
God finally answered my prayers when I ran into a very old childhood friend of mine, at another friends wedding in Abuja.
You see, this childhood friend Dr. Solomon is now an Urologist…
In case you are wondering what that means…
"A urologist is
a doctor who has specialized knowledge and skill regarding
So, I summoned courage, and told him my embarrassing problem – which I had kept as a secret for a long time.
After all, they say 'a problem shared is a problem solved'.
That's exactly what happened… because he introduced me to a PROVEN solution to increasing the size of my Manhood (penis) and a CONFIRMED solution to lasting longer in bed. All Foreign Products.
Before that time, he used to prescribe it ONLY to his very rich and high paying clients who are suffering from premature ejaculation and small penis issues.
Because having to book an appointment with "An Urologist" is obviously such a big Money
To cut the Long story...
He directed me to where I ordered for the Solution and I also paid an extra N8,500 for shipping through DHL.
As soon as I took delivery of it, I began to use it…
Guess what? After about 21 days, the result was like magic… It was hard to believe, at first.
I thought, wait a minute, so…
"There Is Actually A Simple
Solution That I Could Use To Increase The Size Of My Penis…
INTRODUCING THE 2in1 SOLUTION (Super Man S-e-x-Kit)
When I saw this huge change in me, I knew that my worry is finally over
So I took it to test myself with Linda which happens to the lady I was currently seeing at that time.
I was actually lucky to have her and we had been going steady prior to the completion of using the supplements that my friend Johnbull sent to me
She had actually once told me that no man has been able to sexually satisfy her in bed as all men are created that way and she just has to accept that.
Which was when I decided to try my new found self on her so we were getting emotionally attached.
On a Friday night just right after i came back from work and was in my apartment
She called that she was spending the night over at my place which made me very excited cos i knew this was the perfect time for me to launch my new tool on her
And for the first time in my life, It didn't fail me.
It Actually Happened
We eventually had a mind blowing s-e-x in the sitting room.
I was amazed at myself.
As here was I going now for over 30 minutes in bed with her as she loved every bit of it and simply wanted more.
If you have never heard the sound of a lady moaning at every thrust, then you are not doing it right with her and chances are she would definitely cheat on you or leave you.
Saturday came as when I woke up to see her staring at me.
She Confessed That No Man Had Ever Handled Her The Way I Did
And that she loved every bit of it.That was how it happened.
Every weekend, Favour would come over to stay with me as she simply wanted more of what I have down there.
Thanks to the help of the Libiron Herbal Capsule and the Viscum penis enlargement oil as it actually transformed my sexual life in ways more than I wanted.
I became a guy with A bigger Penis.
I became a guy who could last more than 30 minutes in bed.
I became a guy who now has this new found confidence that I never felt.
And I also noticed that my sperm load was much thicker and plenty than ever before.
And I had the girl who does not want to leave me for what I have to another guy.
So It Got Me Thinking.
As there would be other guys out there who would have the same issue as I did and still looking for a quick fix that would transform their sexual life as it did me.

HARBOURVIEW, N.S. — A full post-mortem examination will not be performed on a humpback whale that washed ashore on the Bay of Fundy near Harbourville, N.S, the Fisheries Department said Wednesday.
The Marine Animal Response Society said it received a report on Sunday that the carcass had washed up on a rocky beach.
Andrew Reid, the society's response co-ordinator, said the 13.7-metre whale is likely a young adult male and died several days prior, but that there were no signs of recent entanglements or gashes from ship strikes.
"It did appear quite thin, so it may have been suffering from a long-term sickness or injury that would have been preventing it from feeding properly," said Reid in an interview. "It probably wasn't an acute death."
DFO confirmed in an email statement that it has decided not to perform a necropsy, or animal auropsy.
"The location of the carcass and the tides provide logistical challenges that would make the necropsy very difficult to perform successfully," wrote spokeswoman Debbie Buott-Matheson.
Reid said officials with the society have documented the whale's external anatomy. He said necropsies are logistically and financially demanding, and the society does not have the resources to conduct one on its own.
"From our point of view, it does need to be shared between the non-government side, the academic side and government," said Reid. "That would be required to do a necropsy on this animal... and it doesn't appear that will be done."
Reid said the humpback population is relatively healthy, but there has been an elevated number of humpback whale deaths along the U.S. eastern seaboard in recent years.
"We now have a dead humpback, so it seems important to find out why humpbacks might be dying in our waters as well," he said.
The Marine Animal Response Society also said local residents have been raising concerns about people climbing and jumping on the whale.
"We would ask that people, like with all animals, treat them with respect when they're alive but also when they're dead," said Reid, adding that the whale is also slippery and climbing on it could be dangerous.

Last week we learned that the FCC had docketed the sale of WFME TV, giving the public an opportunity to complain or object to the decision by Community Communications Inc., the station's nonprofit owner, to unload the station for $3 million to Dallas religious broadcaster Dayster Television Network.
The FCC announced that parties interested in filing petitions to ask that the sale be denied needed to file online by May 6; as of today (May 5), only 10 petitions have been filed so far.
Now an anonymous group of area residents who want to block the sale have set up a simple website with information and instructions for people who want to save WMFE from becoming just another mouthpiece for televangelists who want to send you straight to hell with an empty wallet.
