Charles Herbert Moss was from Chester-le-Street. He enlisted enlisted as 18/544 Private in the 18th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry. By 1 July 1916, he had been promoted to a Lance Corporal and was party of the C Company Lewis machine gun team. He survived both the Battle of the Somme, and the First World War, after which he wrote 'My part in the Battle of the Somme' from which the quotes below are taken.
|D/DLI 7/478/6 Charles Moss, 18th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry, 1915
Somme - Barbed Wire
"Despite the terrific bombardment by our artillery, most of the German barbed wire entanglements were still as strong as ever… Those barbed wire defences were a great wonder to me… They were a great massive rusty wire wall built along the whole of the Western Front. They were about 5 or 6 feet high, and 3 to 4 yards deep in most places, built up on strong wooden and iron stakes."
Evening before the attack, 30 June 1916
"During the evening our CO, Lieutenant Colonel Hugh Bowes, give us instructions for our conduct during the battle. There was to be no turning back, every man must advance at a steady pace. All officers had the authority to shoot anyone who stopped or tried to turn back. The wounded had to be left to be attended to by the stretcher bearers and RAMC. The grimmest order to me was that no fighting soldier was to stop to help the wounded."
Extra Equipment, June 1916
"Over and above our ordinary equipment, rifle and bayonet and ammunition in our pouches, I had a khaki bandolier full of .303, six loaded Lewis Gun magazines – carried in a horse's nose bag because we hadn't enough proper containers available – two Mill bombs, and a pick with the shat stuck down my back behind my haversack, and we were called Light Infantry!"
Bombardment, 1 July 1916
"I wanted to see how our attack was so going so I moved some of the chalk on the front of the trench in such a way that I would be protected from German sniper fire, and took a good look at the German line in front of me. But all that I could see was fountains of chalk and smoke sent up by our artillery. It was like watching heavy seas rolling and roaring on to Hendon beaches… during winter storms."
Walking wounded, 1 July 1916
"We got the word to move to our 'jumping off' trench to be ready to go over the top… As I got into this trench I nearly bumped into a soldier who seemed to be carrying a big piece of raw meat resting on his left arm. He was doing a sort of crying whimper… Then I realised it was the remains of his right forearm he was carrying… Many more soldiers were making their way back up the trench, they were the walking wounded."
|D/DLI 7/478/8 Charles Moss, taken a few years after the first photograph
Night, 1916
"The darkness of the night was often broken by the brilliant light from the arching Verey Lights being fired across No Man's Land. As each light died out we were blinded by the darkness being blacker than ever, and the sudden changes from the blackness to such weird and ghostly light… made the place such a terribly eerie sight, that I felt as though I was no longer on the civilised world."
Young soldier, 1916
"While we were in the shelter the talk amongst the team became very morbid and downhearted. They would persist in talking about the cruel and gruesome sights they had seen, and how easily such things could happen to them. One of the youngest, a lad of about 17, was becoming very distressed as the despondent talk continued. I realised I would have to get their minds on to other and more cheerful things, so when one of them passed the remark… "It's a bloody good job we've got a navy," I took this as my cue… so I got them interested in some of my trips in the Merchant Navy especially my holidays on the continent with the Londonderry boats out of Seaham Harbour. It was marvellous how they responded to the change of subject, the young gunner brightened up considerably and the rest of them stopped their depressing gossip."
Durham miners, 1916
"The Kitchener's Army Pit Lads proved themselves to be 'born soldiers.' What a great pity it is impossible to estimate how much the country owes to the miners for the ultimate victory, and the good hearted manner of it. All the world ought to know how many miners there were in the regiments that broke through the German Front at Contalmaison and Fricourt and repulsed the enemy counter attacks at Martinpuich, Butte de Warlencourt and Flers. It was their contempt of danger and death that won them through."

text: Ever since I seen Jafs' MP Jazz I wanted one. It wasnt until lately that I've actually had enough free time to start working on it. His follow-along section has been helpfull, but there are many, many things you just dont expect until it's all torn apart and you're left wondering. I'm using the Martini Racing Tamiya kit as a shell and an ALT Ricochet for the chassis. The AMT kit would fit over the robot much better but either kit is pretty hard to find. Although their will be considerably less painting to do with Ricochet as he is almost spot-on with Jazzs' colors. Hopefully this project wont continue to give me one problem after another. And needless to say , this has not been a cheep project. I had to take out massive bits of plastic from Ricochets back end, wheel wells, the front of the dash, and shaved down the edge of the dash to accomidate the windsheild. The trunk peices were cut down and reversed to act as a pivot for the new transformation of the windows. Here we have the Porsche 935 after it was (carefully) cut in all the proper areas Here is a preliminary shot of how it will look on the Alt And here is another of the robot mode Any tips or ideas would be helpfull !

I loved this book. It was sad though but still was a wonderful book to read. Teens will fall in love with this book. I couldn't stop reading this book. I started at 9:00 pm reading this and couldn't stop reading until I was finished with it. This was the book that made me love reading. After reading this book I thought I was going to read all the books in the world and have no more books to read.
I absolutely love this book. It flows so well and I love the free verse style. I read it all in one sitting, it never has dull moment.
After the first few pages i started crying it was fantastic i couldn't put it down though i finished it in less than 3 hours it was beautiful and amazing i loved it
Written so beautifully, and so well. The pieces come trickling in at a very good pace. Must read more of her work!

The School of Psychology's Sensory, Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Research Group is pleased to present the following PhD Progression Seminar. All Welcome!

Implicit versus explicit measures of emotion processing in people with aggressive tendencies and those who use pornography

Abstract: As researchers and clinicians are becoming more aware that many of our thought processes and behaviours occur beneath conscious awareness, the need to acquire methods to gain a better and more thorough understanding of non-conscious emotional processes becomes more important. Researchers and clinicians in the behavioural sciences rely heavily on the use of self-report questionnaires, this conscious feedback which is given can often bely underlying non-conscious processes which may provide a more accurate interpretation of an individual's emotions. The current project aims to use objective physiological measures such as Electroencephalography (EEG), Electromyography (EMG in the form of startle reflex modulation), Skin Conductance and Heart Rate to generate the awareness of discrepancies between self-reported and objectively measured emotions. We explored particular groups within the general population who have no formal diagnosis of psychological or neurological disorders. In particular, known aggressive traits as well as frequency of pornography use. It is hypothesised that physiological differences in emotion-related processing will be seen between these groups but explicit responses will be similar and show no such differences. If this hypothesis is confirmed, there is potential that knowledge about such discrepancies allow us to broaden our understanding and better understand and predict behaviour in these groups.

Healthy Snack Ideas
Eating healthy can seem like a huge challenge. That's because it is! Living in a place where ordering a combo off of the fast food menu is cheaper than buying a half dozen apples at the grocery store can make it pretty tough, and frustrating at that.
When you think of grabbing a quick bite to eat, what do you think of? Getting fast food? A candy bar or a bag of chips? Instead of heading down that route, prepare yourself with some healthy snacks ahead of time. It's definitely been a tough road for me, too, so I understand the look of disgust you're giving me right now. But I think the more you learn and the more you educate yourself on what exactly all those ingredients are that are listed on that bag-of-whatever, the more you'll want to bring your own snacks from home. A little preparation at the beginning of the week definitely goes a long way! I feel like every blog I've come across or any article I've read says the same thing about preparing for your week. A few healthy choices can lead to more healthy choices.
Some staple snack items for me are: bananas, carrot sticks, raw almonds (sometimes mixed with dried cranberries), sliced bell peppers, celery with natural peanut butter, and apples. A cool trick I just learned, and I'm probably pretty late to this game, is if you like slicing your apple ahead of time, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the slices to help keep them from turning brown! Is that information a million years old? Probably. But I like it.
What are some of your favorite healthy snacks?

Dior Spring brought a lovely peachy pink blush that I couldn't leave behind.
Corail Bagatelle is a warm pink with subtle golden shimmer. The bow design is way too adorable for me to handle.
Picture from Like a Candy Shop
I forgot to swatch Guerlain Madame Rougit blush until after the pictures were taken, but Color Me Loud has a great swatch picture and more comparisons.
I absolutely love this new blush formula from Dior- long lasting, smooth, and natural. Corail Bagatelle is a fresh peach cheek color, and an excellent addition to my growing collection.

Learning Games 2.0: What Web 2.0 Might Mean for Educational Games
The gaming industry is slowly realizing the potential of user generated content (King 2006, Van Zelfden 2007). The industry is attempting to integrate user generated content into their products and servces in different ways: new online games have built-in community features, gamers are now included in the creative process of level design for many games etc.
Making user content a core value of the business model springs from another phenomenon: Web 2.0. Web 2.0, a phrase coined by O'Reilly Media in 2005 (O'Reilly 2005), refers to a perceived second generation of web-based services—such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies—that emphasize online collaboration and sharing among users. In the period immediately following O'Reilly's pronouncements in 2005, the discussion of Web 2.0 mainly focused on technical issues and for the most part took place within the web developers' community. The big mass media breakthrough for Web 2.0 came in 2006; Time Magazine naming "You" the person of the year would be a typical example of this mainstream media attention to Web 2.0.
Critics of the term 'Web 2.0' consider it to be part of a general media hype and lacking in terms of formally defined characteristcs – or even just a marketing slogan for O'Reilly Media. Despite these criticisms, it is hard to ignore the growing role of user-generated content on the Web. The blogosphere widens every day, wikipedia is becoming an established institution of knowledge and many of the top downloaded video clips on YouTube are user generated.
The main question this paper is this: If "2.0 Games" are indeed the wave of the future, then what does that mean for learning games and serious games? Related questions also addressed in this paper include: Is "Web 2.0" too big and messy a concept to be useful for pedagogic/learning/educational games? Web 2.0 is supposedly based on requests and desires of customers, but are gamers interested in 2.0 games? In particular, are 2.0 games interesting for potential student-gamers?
The object of the paper is to present a practitioner's view of how Web 2.0 'core values' apply to learning/educational games. How do you make learning games in the Web 2.0 era? What is a 2.0 game? This paper will try to establish what a '2. 0 game' could be. What kind of qualities would it have, and what kind of play values would it create? The paper concludes by presenting some important considerations when designing learning 2.0 games.
The paper is based on analysis of secondary materials (including academic literature, industry research reports, blogs and video interviews).Ola Janson is a role-playing writer, game designer and programme director/teacher at the Game Architecture Advanced Vocational Education and Training Programme [KY-utbildningen i Spelakitektur], Academedia Educations, Gothenburg.

I've flown airlines long ago where they handed out little bags of peanuts and I I've never gone into anaphylaxis. I'm grateful my allergy is not that severe. However, when United Airlines declared themselves to be peanut free about 20 years age they became my preferred airline. Why? It's because I am airborne sensitive to peanut protein or peanut 'dust' and any allergic reaction makes you feel like crap in one way or another and causes bodily fatigue that can last many hours afterwards.
As I've gotten older I've become more aware of the how my body responds to allergens and also to the decongestants or anti-histamines that counteract them. It seems like every anti-histamine has SOME negative side effect; some of them immediate, some have effects that show up after days of use and some have potential long lasting implications. For this reason I'm looking into Immunotherapy for my seasonal allergies.
Delta to Detroit
But in addition I have hope to change my life and free myself from the LTFA prison, so one of the things I'm doing is flying on Delta Airlines. Delta serves peanuts on some of their flights but has become very responsive to peanut allergy sufferers. If you inform them of your allergy they won't serve peanuts on your flight. Normally I would never fly Delta, but the majority of my family lives in the Detroit area and Delta has a hub there, so they are the only airline with direct flights from California. A direct flight saves me 90 minutes and the hassle of a connecting flight every time I visit. Not to mention I can fly a red-eye and get uninterrupted sleep the whole way. What's not to like about that? But in the end I can't go on being afraid to fly. I need to find a way to not let this get in the way of living.

Good morning dears! I am home from vacations and now can enjoy the rest of my summer doing nothing. Well little things here and there but all local day-trip type of things. It's kind of nice knowing I just get to hang out and lay low. Ok so I have plenty of polish and beauty things to share with you and first on the agenda is Rodan + Fields Dermatologists. Have you heard of this brand? Rodan + Fields specializes in facial care - specified to your needs. The dermatologists behind the brand are actually the people behind Proactive. Rodan + Fields is geared towards getting the user "real results...at home without injections or other invasive procedures." This brand isn't available in any stores as they use a "direct selling" model which means you can buy it directly on their website or through an "independent business owner." If you are having skin concerns; acne, sun spots, lack of firmness, wrinkles, then you might be interested in checking out these products. I recently responded to a 'guess how many' contest and nailed the number on the nose - I was sent a few products to try out for free! Color me impressed - I am actually getting ready to place an order now because I liked the results I received after only 2 days! So let's jump on in and check out the products!
*items in this post were won, all opinions are my own*
Here's a picture of all the goodies I received from winning the giveaway. A sample pack that included Enhancement Micro-Dermabrasion Paste, Redefine Night Renewing Serum and Redefine Lip Renewing Serum. How adorable are the single use capsules?!
I love a good face scrub. Enhancement Micro-Dermabrasion Paste is an excellent scrub. The listing describes this paste as a "high-glide, oil free formula designed to promote maximum gentle exfoliation." It helps improve "cell turnover and improve skin tone and texture." You can clearly see that it's not liquid at all. It's definitely a thicker consistency, paste is the perfect term actually. The scrub is packed full of a very fine grit that you can really feel making a difference when you work it into your face. The directions suggest rubbing the paste in circles onto your dry face for 30 - 60 seconds. Do this part gently or you might feel some discomfort.
Here's what the Enhancement Micro-Dermabrasion Paste looks like after it's been worked in a bit.It has the lightest citrus scent too, I found it pleasant.
Here's a picture of my face after I rubbed the paste in a circular motion on my face for 60 seconds.
So I washed the paste off and my skin looked bright, fresh and was so soft I seriously couldn't stop touching my face. I really have tried a zillion different scrubs and this is the one. THE ONE! You can use Enhancement Micro-Dermabrasion Paste 1-3 times a week in place of a face wash. Yes, I have peach fuzz on my face. I'm a furry girl.
That night I tried the other products I was given. And I do apologize for not getting pictures of them on my face, I forgot in my exhaustion and was just trying to get to bed (a night time routine is new to me as I just crash with make up on and sometimes even in my daytime clothes - hey I work hard/play hard!). This is the Redefine Night Renewing Serum. It's a capsule that contains "a potent, propriety blend of peptides and retinol to visibly improve skin texture and firmness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles." Each capsule is for 1 use. You get 60 in a jar and you can use the product nightly. The serum had a nice viscosity, it smoothed over my face easily and the little bit went a long way. At first I felt like I had a strange, slick but slightly tacky layer of goo on my face but it absorbed fairly quickly and that feeling passed once dry. I do feel that my face looked more rested when I got up in the morning after using the Redefine Night Renewing Serum. And you know what, I'm all for facial care products that make me look prettier while I sleep. Minimal effort required!
And finally I have the Redefine Lip Renewing Serum. I have always been a huge lip product person so you know I was excited to try this! The lip serum is a "peptide and antioxidant rich capsule that helps lips retain natural moisturizing factors, smooths lip texture and reduced the appearance of lip wrinkles." Again you get 60 single use capsules, so a 2 month supply of product. You can use this nightly. The viscosity was a bit thicker than the Night Serum as you don't need to rub it in, just slather it on your lips. I rubbed it into my lips and the surrounding lip area. My lips were smooth, not overly slick and not sticky at all. I still had some product on my lips when I woke up in the morning. After cleaning my face my lips felt smooth, supple and full.

For better or worse.....here they are!
I think for now I'm going to try and get 2-3 cards per day posted so that I'll at least have one of each team up by Opening Day. I'll be glad to take requests once the season starts and photos are a little easier to come by.
I've also got a couple of other sets planned that I'll mix in once the season starts.

Two Concerns You Do Not Understand Regarding To LASIK Eye Medical SurgeryThe eye can be examined with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical assessment includes the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the pupil to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be evaluated in several methods. The client might be asked to determine illuminated letter or items of varying sizes on exactly what is called the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye might be made in several ways. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In specific illness, especially in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased considerably.
It needs to be well remembered that a client with an eye problem may have other problems. Frequently other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can alert the client and the doctor to difficulties in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other symptoms present themselves.
One's reliance on sight is stressed when one faces a short-lived or possible permanent loss of this vital sense. When corrective steps are sought, specific kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are recommended.
On the other hand, some people are bothered with the fact that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgeries were developed to encourage decreased utilization of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Generally, LASIK eye surgery is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction. The only difference is that with this kind of surgical treatment, one's vision is fixed permanently.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are completely transformed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The main purpose of this surgical treatment is to develop a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade understood as "microkeratome." In a series of check my site unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, enabling better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that individuals should know. Most likely, the primary reason this type of eye surgical treatment has become well accepted is since the majority of its cases had been successful.
In spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Due to the fact that LASIK eye surgical treatment involves the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate portions of the eye, many people say that the operation can be very risky.
To puts it navigate to this website simply, a basic error might almost cause an individual's life time blindness. It is essential to think about many factors prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the best corrective measure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a best treatment
LASIK eye surgical treatment may correct your vision but it does not always indicate that it can provide you a best vision. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the clients may have 20/20 vision, this does not always indicate they have perfect vision. her latest blog
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not always be the perfect eye surgery the method many people see it
Alternatively, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in several methods. It ought to be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye problem might have other issues. Frequently other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a repercussion. The look of the eye can alert the doctor and the patient to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other signs present themselves.
Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction.

AMD 'Ryzen Master' Overclocking Utility Spotted
With the launch of AMD's Ryzen it's fair to say that the OC scene has been generally quite happy with the noises that AMD are making on the topic of Overclocking. The fact the entire series of Ryzen 7, 5 and 3 series processors will arrive at retail fully unlocked is certainly a positive development, as is the news that the company was also planning a revised and updated version (its somewhat jaded) AMD Overdive overclocking app. The new 'Ryzen Master' Overclocking utility will according to reports, be include in the driver install package and will feature a wide range of CPU settings. The guys at Ocaholic have the details:
"The so called AMD driver suite includes a new panel for AMD Settings and "Ryzen Master". According to the image from "The Tech Chap", Ryzen Master will allow you to change several settings from within Windows. There is for example the possibility to alter the CPU Voltage, the CPU frequency, the number of active cores as well as several details related to the memory. On top of that you can save profiles. A quick look at the clock range shows you can choose anything between 3.0GHz and 6.375GHz. According to the latest rumors, this range might not be the same for the different Ryzen CPUs that don't feature XFR technology.
Below you can find all the settings spotted so far:
- - Per-core clock adjustment
- - CPU Voltage Adjustment
- - The ability to disable cores (choice of 0, 2, 4 or 6 cores)
- - MEM VDDIO Voltage Adjustment
- - MEM VTT Voltage Adjustment
- - VDDCR SOC (PCH) Voltage Adjustment
- - CAS Latency Adjustment
- - Row Precharge Delay (15 bus clock at standard)
- - RAS Active Time (36 bus clock at standard)
- - Read Row-Column Delay (15 bus clock at standard)
- - White Row-Column Delay (15 bus clock at standard)
- - The ability to save up to four custom profiles

Nairobi, 12 Feb 10
The Catholic University of East Africa (CUEA) on Thursday awarded UN-HABITAT Executive Director Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka an honorary doctorate degree.
At a ceremony marking the institution's 25th anniversary, Mrs. Tibaijuka was awarded a Doctorate Honoris Causa in Social Sciences with Specialization in Social Justice and Human Development.
The citation for the award lauded Mrs. Tibaijuka for her academic achievements as well as commitment to the cause of women and girls. The Executive Director was praised for being an active member of Catholic professionals in her home country, Tanzania, as well as being instrumental in the integration of social teaching of the church.
"She has actively participated in designing and implementing policies that have contributed to the enhancement of justice, human rights, justice and peace drawn from her commitment to the gospel values and Catholic faith and morals," the citation read.
It said that Mrs. Tibaijuka had been actively involved in the establishment of educational institutions in East Africa, both solely and collectively:
"It is this great Christian educator, mother, defender of human rights, promoter of work ethics, advocate of democratic governance, champion of integral development and model of humility and obedience, that the Catholic University of Eastern Africa wishes to honour at this auspicious occasion of the 25th anniversary of the existence of our esteemed university…in recognition of her enormous contribution and service to the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences of Eastern Africa, the university and society in general."
Five other people were awarded honorary degrees during the colourful ceremony held at the Nairobi campus. They were the Archbishop Emeritus of Lusaka Joseph Mazombwe (Sacred Theology with Specialization in Church and Development in the Modern World), Chair of the Electoral Commission of Malawi Lady Justice Anastasia Msosa (Social Sciences with Specialization in Social Justice and Christian Ethics) and Rt. Reverend Paul Kalanda, Bishop Emeritus of Fort Portal in Uganda (Culture, Mission and Evangelization).
The others were the Prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education, Zenon Cardinal Grocholewski (Christian Education) and a posthumous one to Father Cecil McGarry (Christian Education).
In his keynote address, Kenya's Assistant Minister for Education Mr. Asman Kamama challenged the awardees, especially those from Africa, to use their talent to develop their countries. They should be in the forefront to fight poverty, diseases including HIV/Aids and tribalism, he said.

Occupy London Mayor – The Birthday Party – www.thebirthdayparty.org.uk
Monday 19 March 2012
Well, here I am, feeling like I've moved through a hundred fear barriers and actually I have. I'm camped outside the Guardian offices in London in a cycle powered rickshaw come London Mayor Mobile, and I'm trying to get some coverage for my plight of running for Mayor of London as a Traveller.
We were told earlier that the News Desk would send down a photographer but that didn't happen, even though we waited most of the afternoon. So I pulled out the Megaphone and asked all the workers coming out of the building if we were part of the whole picture, which the Paper claims to cover. Then we met Xan Brooks (Guardian film critic) who sympathized with the whole story about the realistic prospects of food shortages if we hit hyperinflation because of our country's foreign policy with all these wars. That if countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Venezuela and the list goes on, keep distancing themselves from trade using US dollars and Sterling pounds because they believe our conduct on the banking and warring frontier is unethical, then who is to blame? Are they wrong to dislike our massive use of depleted uranium as redemption, whilst simultaneously claiming these countries would be irresponsible if they obtained nuclear weapons! Is it not utterly ridiculous? He agreed with many of the things I said and considered others. And at the end of it, a Gaurdian worker agreed to nominate me to run for Mayor of London. That doesn't mean he'd vote for me but it does mean that he believes I should at least be allowed to have a voice in this process. And that's all I want: To offer London another choice. And not all this Green-Washing nonsense.
We have to stop these wars. We just have to. And that means a massive drop in our currency value. We need to go back to a different type of growth. We all know that. We need to start feeding ourselves and not our cars. We have to dig up a big proportion of the roads and grow food. And then have non toxic vehicles that won't pollute the real growth. It's not rocket science, it's merely common sense. And it doesn't have to be high tec. We're talking pedal power. It's ok. It's healthy and it's beautiful. And it would create massive employment.
Anyway, it all seemed like we were getting nowhere and then the Guardian editor, Alan Rusbrider, came out and I got to him and said my piece in the brightest yellow suit you've ever seen and laid out the obvious schematics of the obvious food shortages that face us. After my more calm explanation, he said come back tomorrow at 9.00 o'clock. It might be a cop-out but he is a truly talented and very intelligent man. A genuinely admirable man. So maybe something will open for us there. So I'm camped outside the offices now. We shall not give up!!!! London has the right to choose whether it starves to death or not. It's time for Londoners to occupy their rights!!
So on that note, I will right a new blog in the morning to see if they will cover my cause, as they claim to cover the whole picture. Certainly their new ads claim they are massively aware. Let's see….
Night-night!! Feel free to bring me coffee in the morning – medium roast with milk and two sugars please!!!

It is always great to receive updates on how people are finding the book.
Thanks Craig!
I downloaded about 5 sample 'getting started' books from iTunes but Get Jamming Alto Saxophone for Beginners is by far the best. I haven't had a great deal of time to practice since Christmas but the book has been an inspiration - even in such a short time I can play most of the low notes; middle C down to low C and today I'm working on the higher notes - C sharp and upwards.
I love the way the books is structured, providing great scaffolding for beginners - the interactive 'play along' songs are just right and the pace of the book is perfect for a newbie like me. I would highly recommend beginners not to waste money on other books - Get Jamming Alto Saxophone for Beginners is the first choice!
....another reason why I really like your book, [is] the colour coding on the keys [which] makes it easier to see where to place individual fingers. I find 'finger diagrams' difficult and complicated so highlighting the 'real' keys helps to differentiate each of the keys from others.

Realtors say the red hot stock market is driving high-end home sales, but the heat is also being stoked by something far more fundamental. There are simply more high-end homes for sale.
Dallas, Atlanta, Phoenix and Nashville have at least two times more homes for sale in the top tier than the bottom tier, according to a new report from Zillow. And they are selling.
"Depending on their finances, it's likely that individual buyers in the same market might be having completely different home buying experiences," said Stan Humphries, chief economist at Zillow. "Even as conditions improve for buyers overall, it remains a tough row to hoe for first-time buyers and lower-income buyers, especially compared to their more well-off contemporaries."
Zillow looked at over 350 local metropolitan markets and found that the number of for-sale listings rose in 68 percent of the bottom price-tier of these markets compared to a year ago. In the top tier, however, listings rose in over 82 percent of the markets. Nationwide, inventory is up about 16 percent in all tiers from a year ago.

Retail giant Lidl is increasing the wages of more than 16,000 of its employees, saying they will be the highest paid supermarket workers in the UK.
The firm will be increasing entry-level wages from £8.45 to £8.75 an hour outside London and from £9.75 to £10.20 within the M25.
Lidl said the move, which will come into effect from March 2018, represents an additional annual investment of over £3.5 million.
The rates match the new voluntary living wage announced on Monday by the Living Wage Foundation.
Lidl became the first supermarket to pay the real living wage two years ago.
Nan Gibson, Lidl's HR board director said: "Without our incredibly dedicated workforce we would not be able to positively impact the lives of our customer in the way that we do.
"I'm incredibly proud, therefore, to once again show our dedication to our team by increasing wages and ensuring that, at the very least, salaries support the cost of living."
At least 150,000 workers are set for a pay rise under the increased voluntary rates, which are higher than the Government's figure of £7.50 for over 25-year-olds.

Due to the exorbitant costs that come with attending a four-year university, just getting good grades and graduating should not be your only major concern -- figuring out how to pay for your student loans is an extremely important factor as well. Student loans can be separated into two different types: federal student loans and private student loans. While some scholarships can go a long way in helping you with your college funding, student loans are one of the most popular ways to pay for college. The real issue arises when you have more than one outstanding student loan, and you're having to juggle multiple loan payments every month. When this occurs, consolidation of student loans might come in handy.
When you consolidate student loans, you're combining all of your loans into one. Most financial experts recommend that you do not consolidate private and federal loans, because you will then end up losing the benefits that come with your federal student loans (such as the lower, fixed interest rate). You can, however, consolidate your federal student loans into one loan. What are the benefits of doing this? Well, it makes it easier to manage your finances, because instead of paying several loan bills every month, you're only paying one. Not only that, but you can also lower your monthly payment overall. Student loan consolidation can be a great option for people who have lots of outstanding loans out. If you're wondering if you should consolidate your federal loans, read on to learn more about consolidation of student loans.
What are the advantages & disadvantages of consolidating?There are many positives when it comes to federal government student loan consolidation compared to consolidating private student loans. For one thing, it's a far easier process, and not only that, you can get a much better loan deal overall.
You don't have to pay anything when you want to consolidate your federal student loans -- there's no fees of any kind. There's no credit checks either, so if you have bad credit, you don't have to worry about being refused. The thing is though, if you have poor credit, it might not be in your best interest to consolidate your loans. Loan consolidation comes with a lot of financial responsibility -- usually because these loans will be repaid over 25-30 years -- so if you're not able to pay your bills on time or are in a position where paying back your loan will be difficult, this may not be the best choice for you. Consolidation of student loans usually comes with a higher interest rate, so it may end up hurting you in the long run if you're not in a good financial position.
On the other hand, this is another one of the positives of federal student loan consolidation. You can defer the payments in the case that you find yourself in a financial emergency. This is comparable to private student loans, in which you cannot defer payments at all, for any reason.
Consolidating student loans can cut your monthly bill up to 50%. But the one considerable drawback of consolidating student loans is that you may end up, as stated, having a higher interest rate. It's will be up to you to decide whether or not you're better off just having multiple loans, in the long run. Another thing is that if you consolidate your student loans during your 6 month grace period, that grace period will become void.

After watching with disdain the way fans of the Montreal Canadiens have anointed and massacred Carey Price over the past two years I now find myself at the precipice of hypocrisy as I anticipate the arrival of of Jean-Sébastien Giguère in Toronto. After being traded today for Vesa Toskala and Jason Blake I expect to see nothing less than the rebirth of Giguère.
Others can debate cap hits and cash outlays until they're (Leaf) blue in the face… none of that matters in this case. How many Conn Smythe and Stanley Cup winners were on the Leafs yesterday? None. Today they not only have one in Giguère but they also have former Norris Trophy finalist Dion Phaneuf in front of him. The Leaf universe has changed overnight and despite GM Brian Burke talking about Phaneuf being the centerpiece of the Flames deal, it's Giguère who's actually poised to become the face of the Leafs.

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Septeys has been on my list for a long, long time. This summer I finally moved it up the TBR pile and read it. I'm glad I did, but having just finished it 20 minutes ago, my heart hurts. Normally a book takes me a day or two to read. It took me more than a week to get through Between Shades of Gray. It was beautifully written, but it was so, so hard.
Summary (from Goodreads):
Lina is just like any other fifteen-year-old Lithuanian girl in 1941. She paints, she draws, she gets crushes on boys. Until one night when Soviet officers barge into her home, tearing her family from the comfortable life they've known. Separated from her father, forced onto a crowded and dirty train car, Lina, her mother, and her young brother slowly make their way north, crossing the Arctic Circle, to a work camp in the coldest reaches of Siberia. Here they are forced, under Stalin's orders, to dig for beets and fight for their lives under the cruelest of conditions.
Lina finds solace in her art, meticulously--and at great risk--documenting events by drawing, hoping these messages will make their way to her father's prison camp to let him know they are still alive. It is a long and harrowing journey, spanning years and covering 6,500 miles. Between Shades of Gray is a novel that will steal your breath and capture your heart.
I won't be writing this review in my typical format, because it's hard to use those categories here. Instead, I'm just going to give you my thoughts as they come to me (and with some proofreading afterward). I could give you your typical review elements—the character development was phenomenal, the added love story very believable, the prose breathtaking—but I don't think that's the point.
I studied European history in high school. We spent a good bit of time on World War II and time on Russia and Communism, but somehow any bit of the deportation of the Baltic States that we touched on was minor, glossed over, thrown in with the rest.
The focus of our studies was on Hitler and the atrocities he committed (which were many and horrifying). But Russia was an Ally. The U.S. fought with them, so their war crimes weren't the focus of my American education.
What they did to these people was horrifying. I know that Between Shades of Gray is fiction, but it is well-researched fiction. And you should read it. You should read it because you need to know what happened to the people living in the countries that Russia steamrolled. It's earth shattering and heartbreaking and I hate that I didn't know.
Like I said: I knew somewhere in the back of my memory that Russia did horrible things. But I didn't equate it with the things that Germany did.
Read this book because the writing is wonderful. Read this book because the story is haunting. But really, read this book because you need to know what happened. You owe it to yourself, and you owe it to the countless lives that were destroyed by Communist Russia.

The Snows of Kilimanjaro
The Snow's of Kilimanjaro
Ernest Hemingway
The Snow's of Kilimanjaro is a short story that author Ernest Hemingway related to on many levels. His mortality and his fear of dying before his writings were completed are also the fears of the lead character, Harry. Ernest Hemingway also utilized his own experiences on safari to Africa, to lend a sense of reality to his story. Another element on a personal level was the relationship between Harry and his companion, who happens to be Harry's wife. The relationship is a strained one, comparative to Hemingway's own relationships with his many wives throughout his life.
The Snow's of Kilimanjaro opens with references to death. The native people indigenous to this part of Africa translate Kilimanjaro's western summit into "Ngaje Ngai", which when translated is the house of God. A leopard carcass is alluded to, a dried and frozen carcass, to be specific not just the skeletal remains but the actual carcass. Which is still well enough in tact to be identified as a leopard somehow represents it's dominance and stealthy attributes. The scavengers hold the leopard with such regard that it's prey is still fearful of the predator after it's soul has ascended to the heavens. The ominous bald headed creatures flying above and their mingling cousins perched stoically amid the bush, lured to the camp by the rotting stench of Harry's gangrenous limb.
The perpetrator of this life threatening and ultimately life taking injury was not a bullet or a knife, which when retelling of his death would have made Harry out to be more hero like. Harry's death would be at the end of a thorn. A scratch so insignificant that it deemed no immediate attention at the time of it's infliction. But, had now grown into an infection so severe, that even amputation could not save his life.
The internal dialogue Harry has with himself gives the reader insight into what he would have written about had he ever...

MAPLE GROVE, Minn. (KMSP) - The Maple Grove High School football team was down 17 points with just over a minute to go in Thursday night's Class 6A quarterfinal game, but an incredible comeback now has them headed to the state semifinals.

Shake Up Your Workout With The Power Plate
Have you seen this machine in your gym? It's called the Power Plate and Hollywood celebrities such as Kelly Osbourne, Molly Simms, and Mark Wahlberg (did you see The Fighter?) are buzzing about the better-body results this vibrating platform delivers. We asked Power Plate VP of Brand Connection Fried Heim to fill us in on more reasons you'll want to give it a shake.
](http://blog.self.com/fitness/blogs/freshfitnesstips/assets_c/2011/04/IMG_6667-104985.html)The Move: Plank*
**You'll Need: Power Plate Machine
**How to Do It: Set time (anywhere from 35, 45, 60 seconds), then choose vibration level (the more vibration the harder the workout). Lie face down, resting forearms on the Power Plate pad elbows in line with shoulders, extend legs behind. Keeping back flat create a straight line from head to heels. Hold. Rest, repeat for 3-6 sets.

**Look for Power Plate's new groundbreaking machine, the my7, to arrive in mid-May.
**Disclaimer: I tried the Power Plate and liked it, but was a little hesitant at first because I read a study in Self that found that scientists fromMedicine and Science in Sports and Exercise had expressed some concern abouthabitual whole-body vibration potentially leading to slipped disks and possible hearing loss. I'm happy to report as I continue to use it I feel great.

Make Your Own Pizza-Homemade Pizza
It's Simple!
Many people don't realize how simple it is to make your own pizza. Plus, you can save a lot of money doing so. For example, let's say you buy pizza once a week. You probably get a large pizza for about $12, right? Well, if you make your own pizza you spend a little over $5 saving you over $300 dollars a year! If you want to make your own pizza in under 30 minutes, just follow the simple steps below:
1. Go to the Super Market and buy Pillsbury Pizza Dough (it costs about $2.50 where I live). A lot of people will tell you that you should make your own dough, but that is time-consuming as it takes the dough about an hour to rise. Pillsbury, on the other hand, is ready to bake right out of the tube and you won't have to worry about quality. Plus, it tastes great! NOTE: When you find the dough, you will probably see that there is a thick crust and thin crust dough. I have tried both, and I like the thick crust a little better. However, a little experimentation can't hurt!
2. If you already have all of the desired topings, then it is time to roll your pizza dough. This step can be tricky the first time you do it if you have never baked before. I make my own pizza about once a week when I am not at boarding school, so I have mastered this step. What you should do first is make the dough into a ball. Now put some flour on the surface you are working on as well as on the dough and rolling pin. Put the dough on the counter and begin rolling. After about 5 rolls, your dough should have a greatly increased surface area. You can continue rolling however you want, but I like to start with my rolling pin in the middle of the circle and push forward. I then return the rolling pin to the middle of the dough and pull it towards me. I keep doing this until the dough looks rather rectangular. I then start rolling out the other sides to make the dough more like a square (or circle depending on how perfect your original dough ball was). When you are finished rolling, you should have a very large, very thin piece of dough.
3. Don't put on your toppings yet! This is a mistake that I have made many times. If you put toppings on your pizza before putting in on the oven pan, you will have a very hard time moving the whole thing. Therefore, you should first get out a pan and put some cornmeal on it. The corn meal will add a nice crunch to the crust of your pizza. Now carefully move the dough onto the pan (you may need more than one person to do this). The pan should be big enough so that the pizza doesn't do over the sides of it.
4. Now comes the fun part: add the toppings! When you order a pizza, you usually have to choose from some predetermined toppings. However, when you make your own pizza you can put whatever you like on it! Plus, you can choose how much of any given topping you want to put on. I even stuff the crust with cheese sometimes. If you are like most people, you probably want to put the sauce on your pizza first. However, what kind of sauce is completely up to you. I have to say I like Prego better than pizza sauce. It makes the pizza sweeter. I have also tried putting pesto on my pizza. If you like pesto, you should really try it when you make your own pizza. Some ideas for toppings are:
Mozzarella Cheese
Cheddar Cheese
...The possibilities are endless when you make your own pizza!
5. Congratulations, you have made it to the final step: put your pizza in the oven, let it cook, and enjoy! As you will read on the Pillsbury tube, you should preheat the oven to 450. The tube says you should cook it for about 17 minutes with toppings. However, I have found that 20-25 minutes works better (though I think I might add a few too many toppings!). Just keep checking your pizza until it starts to become brown. If you like it crunchy, leave it in for longer. If you like it soft, take it out earlier. It may take you a few tries before you make your own pizza exactly to your liking. But for $5, you don't have much to lose! I hope you try to make your own pizza; I know you won't be dissapointed.
Will you attempt to make your own pizza?
Thank you for this hub! Awesome ideas, especially for someone who is on a strict budget like I am. Thank you so much.
delicious hub! nice work!
Mmmmm... Your hub is making me hungry! Solid info. Thanks.
Geez, Marshall. You are certainly getting the hang of this! Great hub and great job doubling it to also save money! You're almost done with the challenge!
It is easier than people think - you can even buy a flat pizza pan that makes the process even easier! Nice hub!

A few days after an investigation found evidence of possible government corruptionBottom of Form, South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has said he is not scared of going to prison. This was during his first public presence since an anti-corruption report asked for a judicial inquiry. President Zuma, who is 74 years old, is accused of an improper and incorrect relationship with wealthy businessmen though he denies any wrongdoing. On Wednesday, thousands of people took to the streets demanding his resignation.
'State of Capture', the 355-page report which focused on allegations against Mr Zuma reported that the Guptas, a wealthy Indian business family who were close to the President Zuma, tried to influence cabinet appointments. The Guptas have not commented anything, but they have previously denied any wrongdoing.

The CP3 Elite Guard Camp is an invitation-only camp for the top 20 high school and top 10 collegiate point guards from across the country. This will be an opportunity for some of the rising stars in the game of basketball to learn on the court from one of the game's best floor leaders. Fresh off another outstanding NBA season, CP3 is bringing his experience, as well as an elite group of instructors to help a new group of guards.
Continuing his tradition of helping the country's top high school and college basketball guards hone and strengthen their skills, 9 time NBA superstar Chris Paul will host his CP3 Elite Guard Camp June 23-26 at D1 Sports Facility in Winston- Salem, North Carolina. During his career, Paul has committed his time and resources to this camp to help mold promising young talent to achieve their goals.
"There's no way I learned all the things I know now on my own," said two-time Olympian and Clippers' point guard Chris Paul. "I used to watch a lot of film of Tony Parker, Steve Nash and Jason Kidd. This camp allows me to share my insights with these young athletes. Giving back to the next generation is the cornerstone of my family's foundation and we couldn't be more proud to make it happen in the city we call home."
Thirty of the most talented and heralded high school and college players from across the country will have the opportunity to be on the court with Paul and some of the best coaches and instructors in the country. Daily development will include basic fitness training, basketball drill work, yoga, and real game situations.
By bringing this level of talent to his native community of Winston-Salem, Paul is not only giving back to the next generation of basketball players, but the community where his basketball journey began. For the first time ever, the camp will be held at D1 Sports Facility, the city's newest sports training venue.
"I know how much this camp has meant to Chris over the years and we are excited that some of the best guards in the country will be on hand at D1 for this year's event." said Marc Pruitt, Director of Basketball Operations for D1 Sports Training. "We know personally how much community involvement means to Chris and the entire Paul family and greatly appreciate their generosity."

I had a different post planned out, but after spending THREE HOURS clicking around Cleolinda's HILARIOUS Twilight posts, I have decided to save my post for another day.
I found her posts especially amusing because my friend and critique partner J.A. Souders and I went to see Breaking Dawn yesterday. There were lots of amusing moments in the movie, particularly any scene with Charlie in it (LOVE HIM), and Emmett's wedding speech to Bella and Edward (which was basically like, "Get used to not sleeping." *nudge, nudge, wink, wink*). We also discovered the joy of scanning the credits for interesting names. Two notable ones: Booboo Stewart (this is the kid who plays werewolf Seth! For realz!), and Pharoah Barrett. Which caused Jess to dare me to name a character in one of my novels "Pharoah." I may take her up on this dare. :D
Anyway, go here and enjoy Cleolinda's recaps. Both her recaps of the movies, and her recaps of the books are worth it.

Oh, it has been a nightmare to get one. At first we searched and searched for shops in Denmark, but the only ones we could find, had cheasy petticoats in horrible colours.
Then we found a beautiful white petticoat in the USA through etsy. And we all drew a sigh of relief - eventhough we had to pay 250 Danish kroners in shipping charges to get the petticoat in time for the gala.
But oh no...when I hadn't heard from the etsy seller this Sunday, I knew that we had to find another solution.
I tried to look up the word petticoat again, and all of a sudden google showed me a Danish page I hadn't come across before.
|Photo from Femme Fatale.dk
So today the beautiful petticoat got ordered and paid for - Anne-Sophie will get the one in the middle of the picture. It's coral colored like the dress, but only in a lighter shade.
And tomorrow the seller will send it our way.

Some little kids have that special X factor that leave you saying "yep, that kid is gonna go somewhere someday." Take this little fella dancing his heart out to MJ at Safeco Field. Even though he is six years old – or thirty – we have no kids so can't tell how old they are unless we cut them in half and count their rings – he is already a champ.
Same goes for the newest member of the Nation Network – JetsNation. Even though it is only hours old we expect great things from the kid. Terrible, evil, wonderful things. It certainly is an exciting time to be born in Winnipeg.
It's exciting that Canada has a brand new ice hockey squadron! It's exciting that Winnipeg got their team back 16 years after they lost their team! It's exciting that the team is called the Jets even though NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman would rather have named them the "Winnipeg NHL-Failed-In-The-Sunbelt" rather than the Winnipeg Jets.
Sometimes things work out don't they?
For now, we are happy to see Winnipeg back in the league. As an Oilers fan, 1995-1998 represented years of ulcer causing stress as the Oilers seemed to be the next team going South after the Jets departed for Phoenix. Long before the EIG took control and saved the day, a teenaged Wanye had many sleepless nights that the team would be leaving.
We were fortunate to dodge the ball at the last minute whereas Winnipegers took it square in the beans and have been smarting from the shot ever since. Anyone who cheers for a Canadian team or a small market team or can identify with hard core fans watching their team pack up and leave town should be able to find some small part of their heart that will soar with joy once the puck drops in the 'Peg this fall.
Yes, with the Jets tucked safely in the Eastern Conference we are cheering for them. For now. But once they come back in the West all love ends and the all consuming hatred of every other team in the NHL begins. The Oil have finished back to back lasts. Hatred is all we have.
Swing by JetsNation and wish Winnipegers and Jets fans all the best. Or the worst.
Or whatever.

- I've seen some preliminary information recently about "encapsulated" islet cell transplants that possibly could be put into a diabetic, and supply insulin, without the need for the anti-rejection drugs that are usually recommended for standard transplants of pancreas or other organs. (5 Aug 96)

Bolland, Emery still 'doubtful' for Blackhawksby Brian Hedger
CHICAGO -– Leading 3-1 in the Western Conference Quarterfinal series against the Minnesota Wild, the Chicago Blackhawks stayed off the ice Wednesday, including injured goalie Ray Emery and center Dave Bolland.
Emery and Bolland have missed the first four games of the series each with a lower-body injury, and Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said the pair is doubtful to play in Game 5 on Thursday at United Center (9:30 p.m. ET, CBC, RDS2, NBCSN).
"Nobody skated [Wednesday], but they're both fine," Quenneville said. "[They're both] doubtful for [Thursday]."
Emery split time with Corey Crawford this season, going 17-1-0 with a 1.94 goals-against average and .922 save percentage in 21 games. Bolland played 35 games, totaling seven goals and seven assists while centering Chicago's second line.
Michal Handzus is manning the middle of that line -- between wings Patrick Sharp and Patrick Kane -- and it's been productive. Kane has five assists in the series, and Sharp has scored four goals.
"I think it's just playoff hockey," Sharp said. "You try and contribute whatever way you can in the course of a game, whether it's scoring a goal or whether it's finishing a check or … killing a penalty. Points and goals will come at different times, but the fact that we've got a couple is a good feeling going forward."

Dr. Mitsuru Emi, researcher and drummer
A respected surgeon and professor medicine in Japan, Dr. Mitsuru Emi comes to Hawaii once a month to conduct cancer research on malignant mesothelioma at the UH Cancer Center. In an interview on KZOO Japanese language radio, Dr. Emi said Hawaii can be an important bridge between Asia and the U.S. in the fight against cancer. He also discussed his interest in hula and Tahitian drumming, and gave a short demo with his drumming group in the KZOO studio, which is located at the front of the Shirokiya department store in Ala Moana.
