John McFarland , who has died aged 83, was a respected surgeon in Liverpool; outside his professional life he was an adventurous sailor, and he also once travelled across America on a Greyhound bus in the company of President Kennedy's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
McFarland was doing research at the University of Mississippi when, in September 1963 (two months before the assassination), he and his young wife, Meryl, boarded a bus at Jackson, Mississippi, bound for Mexico City.
As they later testified to the Warren Commission, they first saw Oswald on September 26 when they changed buses at Houston, Texas. Oswald told them that he had come from New Orleans, where he was secretary of the local branch of the Fair Play for Cuba Organisation, and that he was on his way to Cuba in the hope of meeting President Castro — he was going via Mexico City because it was illegal to travel to Cuba from the United States.
Oswald, they said, had been wearing "ordinary slacks and, a more definite recollection, a sort of zipper jerkin". After Kennedy's death the McFarlands had recognised him as their fellow passenger from his pictures in the newspapers. During McFarland's later career as a surgeon in Liverpool, he would occasionally be contacted by representatives of the FBI investigating aspects of the assassination.
The eldest of three sons of the Professor of Orthopaedics at Liverpool University, John Bryan McFarland was born on September 17 1930, and educated at Trearddur House prep school in Anglesey (where the family had a holiday home) and then Shrewsbury. He read Medicine at Liverpool University, qualifying in 1954. After house jobs in his home city and in Edinburgh, he did National Service (1955-57) with the RAMC, mainly in Kenya at the time of the Mau Mau uprisings.
After his spell in America, McFarland returned to Liverpool. He was appointed consultant surgeon, senior lecturer in the Department of Surgery at the University of Liverpool, and to an NHS post at the David Lewis Northern Hospital. He then practised at the Royal Southern Hospital (until it closed in 1978) and the new Royal Liverpool Hospital. As well as developing an interest in gastrointestinal surgery, he became recognised for his gifts as a clinical researcher, and he published regularly throughout his career.
When the Royal Liverpool opened in 1978, McFarland helped to recruit artists to create stimulating murals inside the building — and was displeased to learn during his retirement that these had been destroyed as part of the refurbishment to make the hospital "fit for purpose" in the 21st century.
Since his father had died in his early sixties, partly through overwork, McFarland resolved to retire while he could still enjoy life. Aged 61 he threw a leaving party at the Royal Liverpool, and the next morning he left Britain, sailing down the Mersey into the Irish Sea in his Vancouver 32 (his passion for sailing had been nurtured during family holidays in Anglesey).
For the next four years he sailed the Mediterranean, sometimes in the company of his son, Jonathan, before deciding to settle at Soller in Majorca, where he was based for the rest of his life.
For several years he spent winters in India, working as a doctor at a small hospital run by nuns in Cochin in the state of Kerala, where many of the patients were fishermen and their families.
John McFarland's wife Meryl , whom he married in 1962, was the daughter of Andrew Mckie Reid, an eminent Liverpool ophthalmologist. She died in 2000; their son survives him.
John McFarland, born September 17 1930, died October 5 2013

First of all, I want to thank all readers dear friends who passed through this humble blog to wish me a happy anniversary, I am very grateful and I was very wrapped up with all the affection that I received. Thanks!
Now I ask you please watch and enjoy all the magical garments displayed in this hilarious film (I recommend it) because I am going to propose a little game to you to make this blog a bit more interactive.
I've been one hour last night with my computer to do all the screenshots of all the outfits that appear in this film, and a few hours this morning to upload photos to blog, there was a small war between Mr. Blogger and I trying to place the photos in order, but it was impossible ... for now Mr. blogger wins the battle, so the pictures are not arranged in strict order of appearance, but that does not care much for what I do ...
I need only you to enjoy the various outfits and give your opinion about which of them is most like you ....You can click on photos for large version if Mr. blogger allows.
However, this model does not fit into the guessing game that I suggest to you, you may have guessed I would not be very glamorous in a swimsuit as well.
Now that you saw all the pictures, I suggest to you ...
Although I have chosen the suit that I'm going to sew in this January, even I have the fabric already prepared, you may be able to guess which I chose ...
To make the guessing game more interesting, I'll get around to all comments on this post something that I will build throughout the week, maybe a hair clip like this that I made some time ago (I will do the same for a this giveaway)
You just have to leave a comment on this post and say what suit you think I've chosen to sew this month. It's that simple!
The winner will be chosen at random, you can win even if your answer isn´t correct, it´s just fun ...
You can leave comments on this post until next Friday at 12.00 pm, (time GTM 00) this is the time where I live.
This guessing game will be repeated every month to choose the suit from the movie of the month and I'll give away some small gift made by me, so you have a chance each month to be a winner.
The next weekend I will make an entry to share with you the suit that I have chosen and the winner of the draw, until then I'll be sewing the dress I have on my cutting table now. The blue and whitepolka dot.
Happy week, dear friends!!!

September anchor swim
After a malfunctioning anchor clip let my 40lbs lead block stay seated on the bottom of the Big Hole, we located the anchor and the only retrieval method was me going for a swim. As you can tell from the amount of clothes everyone else has on it was definitely not the warmest September day, but when you have a good anchor, it's always worth swimming for.

One Paragraph Reviews
by Mitchell Dyer
When I first listened to the March 27th episode of 1up's ListenUp podcast, I brushed off game-developer David Jaffe's proposal that game reviews should be stripped down into a single paragraph. On my second listen (it was a long day at work, give me a break) it kind of made me mad.
I'm used to having a word count, but capping an online review of something at 600 or so words seems totally reasonable to me. Excessive length as a problem is something that I can understand, but as a writer I'm compelled to read someone's thoughts to whatever extent they've expressed them. If I'm feeling particularly lazy, I'll skip to the bottom and read what is almost always a recap of the review (as expressed in our reviews' tail-end verdicts) and get the gist.
But to say that something like that should basically replace the full-text review sounds insane to me.
So that's why I'm going to start doing it.
I want to see how writing a one-paragraph review actually works out for me as a writer, and you as the reader. Every day for the month of May, Meghan Watt and I will be posting a one-paragraph review (possibly with a rating, if only to further give in to Jaffe's suggestion) for 31 random games.
When the time comes, I hope that you'll take part in giving us feedback not only on how the reviews themselves work for you as a reader, but how you accept it as a form of criticism. At the end of it, we'll see whether or not Jaffe's idea is brilliance or idiocy.
It's gonna be a busy month.

This is a MEGAPOST, meaning it will be curiously long. The subject of this MEGAPOST will be the details of my New Years trip to Pulau Tioman, an island off the east coast of Malaysia, where I volunteered at the Juara Turtle Project.This post is about my week on Pulau Tioman from around Dec. 28 to Jan. 5. After Kuala Lumpur , I took a six-hour ferry ride to Mersing, a port on the east side of Peninsular Malaysia, and then took a one-and-a-half hour ferry ride to Tekek, a port on the west side of Pulau Tioman. From there, I took a four wheel drive taxi up and over the mountain on the middle of the island to Kampung Juara (or Juara Village, in English - Kampung means Village in Malay).
First of all, Juara isn't very big. There's a decent tourism industry, with a few resorts ranging from full on AC rooms to beach shack accomodation. To that end, most of the locals are used to seeing foreigners and tourists. However, most still don't really speak English. The entire village was this one long road:
It wasn't much, and besides the houses it was pretty much jungle on one side and the ocean on the other. Most people had satellite TV and cell phones and the motorized scooter was the preferred mode of transportation.
I was volunteering here, at the Juara Turtle Project:
It started off as a conservation project run by the government, but then it was taken over by people who own the resorts here after the government involvement ended. So it's owned by the same people who own the biggest resorts here and it's probably better that way. They have support from United World Colleges Southeast Asia (UWCSEA) and that allows them to more adequately control things like the temperature of the turtle hatchery - which is important to determine the sex of the baby turtles (more on turtle hatching later!).
The Turtle Project wasn't a very large site, just a big main area (below) with a kitchen, space for a garden, built accomodation for volunteers, the turtle hatchery and I guess the land that stretches out into the ocean.
You can tell that they don't waste any money on superfluous things; everything there had a specific purpose and it was all turtle-related. When I arrived, it was the offseason (turtle nesting and hatching peaks in the June/July; I came in December) and it was just this one guy, Charlie, holding down the fort. I didn't have to fill out a form and go through a complicated approval process. After an exchange of emails, I just arrived and came ready to contribute.
So first, let me answer a key question that I'm sure is on all of your minds. "Jeff, why would you volunteer at a turtle conservation project?"
Well, while my initial motivation was merely to try and contribute something to the place that I was traveling through, I learned a lot while I was there about these critically endangered species:
For one, they are endangered. Most people don't think of turtles as endangered, but that's land turtles. Sea turtles (ones that spend most of their life in the ocean) are super duper endangered. For a few species, they're almost down to a few hundred. That's bizonkers! At the Turtle Project, we were helping the population of Hawksbill turtles and Green turtles, both of which have been decimated by human activity.
For another, we can easily help them. The reason they're endangered is because, frankly, they're pretty easy for humans to prey on. They breed relatively late (around 15-25 years old, depending on diet and other factors) so most don't live long enough to breed (only 1 in 15,000 eggs reaches breeding age) and, when they do, they're easy prey for poachers. An adult female turtle will saunter up out of the ocean, dig a hole on a nice beach, and lay like a hundred golf ball-sized eggs. Since most turtles do this at predictable times of the year, humans have been able to just take the eggs (they're a delicacy in some parts of the world) and in other cases just take the mother (in certain Caribbean countries, turtle meat is as ubiquitous as beef in North America). The fact that nesting turtles also like the same beaches we do doesn't help either, as some turtles will come on the beach, see a couple making out or whatever, then decide to go back in the ocean, foregoing nesting at that time.
Even if the cache of eggs remains untouched, they still face an uphill battle. As mentioned before, the temperature of the egg determines the sex, so since the beaches are usually near human development, we've been affecting their population genetics with our the latent heat we generate. Not only that, but when baby turtles hatch they find the ocean by light (usually sunlight), so if they see a street light, they'll go that way instead and probably get run over by a car or something. And, of course, this is without even mentioning the amount of baby turtles that die due to fishing nets, miscellaneous garbage and speed boats. We sure make it hard for these turtles!
This leads me to what the Turtle Project actually does and how they're making a difference.
During nesting season, they go and grab the eggs from the nests, taking them back to their turtle hatchery (in the background with the thatched roof, above). The turtle hatchery is essentially a bunch of pits dug into the ground with protection around. Then they wait for the turtles to hatch and release the babies back at the beach where the mother turtle nested. They release the turtles at sunrise and away from the developments to make sure the turtles have a fighting chance to reach the ocean. The turtle babies still have their work cut out for them in the ocean, but some of their major obstacles have been removed.
Some other conservation places will raise the turtles until they're a bit older before releasing them, as they say this helps them to have a greater chance of survival (as well as providing the place with a great attraction for tourists - baby turtles!). However, at Juara, they think that this actually decreases the turtles' chance for survival as they grow up sheltered and not adapted to living in the wild. As the sign says, this is not a zoo. I'm not an ecologist so I don't know which way is better, but I thought I'd mention it in the interest of equal time.
So with all that background, I can now delve into my experiences there. My responsibilites included feeding the resident turtle Jo every day, helping to set up the new tool shed, and other odd jobs, such as helping to pump water from the ocean into Jo's tank and cleaning up around the project (raking leaves, etc.).
First, let me go through the process of feeding Jo. Jo is a turtle that was born blind and is now four years old. The turtle project takes care of her because she can't be released into the wild. She used to live in this tiny tank but ever since last year they built her this nice big tank that she can swim around in.
Every day, at around 5 pm, Jo gets fed around 5 raw fish. I'm not sure what kind of fish they are; Charlie buys like 40 pounds of them for 40 ringgit in Mersing.
The cats LOVE to try to steal some.
The first step in feeding Jo is to move her from the big tank...
...to the small tank (it's really more of a big plastic tub). This is so that the big tank doesn't get dirty as easily and so it doesn't need to be cleaned as often.
Then you take a fish, removing the head (the cats love the scraps), and remove the bone in the middle so that it's easier for Jo to eat.Jo can eat the entire fish whole, but it's just easier for her this way. Since Jo is blind, you have to put the piece right next to her face so she can sense it...then she SNAPS and slurp the fish is gone.
The next thing I had my hand in was a bit of woodwork and painting. For a long time, the Turtle Project's been needing a shed to put tools, paint and other miscellaneous things. So I rolled up my sleeves and channeled that one time in elementary school when I made a birdhouse:This is me working on the table that was built to do work on.
I have to say, I was pretty impressed with how quickly we built it and moved all the stuff in. When we were finished, it looked like the room had been in use for years!That's Charlie in the picture by the way.
Besides that, I also did a lot of painting. Here's a door I painted:
And a table I painted:I also painted some other things (door frames, walls) but these were my best pieces.
Outside of working on Turtle Project stuff, I didn't do too much. It was my winter vacation, after all. I read some books, laid on the beach, played with the cats there:This is Emily, she's such a cutie patootie.
I also got bitten alive by bugs there:It was pretty bad. Good thing they didn't have malaria eh?
I also tried riding one of those motorized scooters once. I got about to the end of the road before crashing into a beach shack chalet. Charlie thought it was pretty funny:I got scratched up a bit, but at least I ensured that Charlie would remember me!
Oh, and if you're wondering how I spent New Years, I spent it drinking in a circle on the beach with a bunch of the local Malays and a few tourists. Randomly, as part of the night, a bunch of them start doing firespinning. It was a memorable experience, if only for the moment where I realized "What the heck, I'm sitting on a beach on an island in Malaysia with a bunch of random Malay guys celebrating New Years."
HOWEVER, what sticks with me most was when I first arrived and one of the guys asked me in broken english, "You drink?" and then, after I nodded, shouted elatedly, "Ahhhh. CAPTAIN MORGAN!!"Captain Morgan, indeed, good Malay sir. Captain Morgan, indeed.

I started my draft for Light to the Darkness in December of 2012. I completed it early February of 2013.
I have had beta readers, reviews and editing. Now all I need to do is finish making the noted changes from my editor.
Now I have done TONS of research on self-publishing, e-book markets and writing in general. I made notes and printed pages and pages of articles. Anyone who knows me well knows I take up a lot of crazy hobbies. Every hobby I research, and obsess and learn everything I can learn about it. These crazy hobbies include, but not limited to: sewing, photography, graphic design, polymer clay, furniture from pallets, cars and many other arts and crafts.
I found Scrivener through my research and started my manuscript using the trial. I used Word for the first few chapters, imported them over and feel in love. I eventually realized that I needed the software so I purchased it through the App Store for $45.
After using Scrivener, I couldn't go back to using word. It didn't create a navigational table of contents automatically, you can't add a cover, and it only saves in .docx, .txt. or rtf. With Scrivener, you can export to any file imaginable, and most importantly, .epub and .mobi.
What I love about it: Everything!
The full composition mode is great. It overs a distraction-free screen for you to write. It keeps me in "the zone". You can have character sheets and setting sketches for reference. I use the character sheets for every character. I cannot tell you how many times I would forget a detail like eye color or age. Instead of reading through, trying to find where you wrote it, it's there on the side bar for easy access. It helps me keep track of the word count. I set a goal in the beginning and set a goal for each chapter, so they are all around the same length. They also offer a corkboard and outline view, for brainstorming. I haven't used the corkboard too much yet. I seem to like having a physical board with post-it notes.
You can find more about Scrivener here: http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php
I am a true do-it-yourself girl. I am fluent in Illustrator and Photoshop, so I was able to purchase a stock photo, download some cool free fonts, and make my own cover.
So now, with my own resources, I was able to create a %100 ePub compliant ebook. The only cost to me was the stock photo and Scrivener.
When I first did my research, last year, the obvious option to distribute was Smashwords. They take a word document and "meatgrind" it into all the formats and send it off for you. The account is free and they take a cut of the profits. They now accept ePubs, but there are limitations if you decide to upload your own, instead of the word document.
My option now is to either upload my epub and deal with the limitations, or try to figure out how to get it into the correctly formatted doc. There is an entire book on the formatting for Smashwords.
I now find that Bookbaby offers a free account. Last year, they had a $99 fee for a account, but they did all the conversions for you, much like Smashwords. With their free account, you do all the formatting yourself. Which could be an issue for many, but I have the tools to make to do so.
So now, after a year of preparing for Smashwords, my question is: Is Bookbaby a better option?
I am taking notes and will post findings soon!

With GP New Jersey and my sudden urge to write more about Standard behind us, we can safely move onto the Team Unified Modern article I promised 2 weeks ago.
My team and I were slightly nervous as Monday morning drew near. We were worried something in Modern might be banned and we'd have to scrap our preliminary work we'd already done in testing. Even potentially more troubling however, was the prospect of something being unbanned. Many on the Twittersphere have been heralding for the unbanning of Jace, The Mind Sculptor, and if Jace, or something equally powerful, was unbanned, it could completely shake up the format. A new dominant deck could appear and if we had failed to find it, we might be significantly behind the curve.
Luckily for our preparation and hard work, Modern (just like Standard) received neither a ban, nor an unban. Fellow Spellsnare scribe Roman Fusco covered the impact this lack of banning might have on the Standard format to come in this article.
With a stable Modern metagame preserved, I turned to the past to study my favorite Robin Williams/Cuba Gooding Jr. film, "What Teams May Come". (Sweet topical reference to a 1998 film, Austin. You are the embodiment of the zeitgeist.)
Hall of Famer and Magic mathematician, Frank Karsten, did quite the bit of research on Team Unified Modern for the past years World Magic Cup, much to our benefit. In his endless pursuit of all things numbers and percentages, Frank wrote a preamble to what the Team Unified Modern metagame might look like on Channelfireball.com. A link to both halves of his prediction can be found here.
These articles along with his official WoTC coverage article detailing what Team Unified Modern actually shook up in Rotterdam, as the crux of my theorycrafting and ideas when looking to San Antonio.
Frank's World Magic Cup coverage article can be found here.
Easily the two most played decks in Rotterdamn were Infect and Dredge. Both are proactive decks attempting to do something slightly busted. Many pros and notable Modern players have often remarked how important it is to be doing something proactive, rather than reactive, in the format. If you look at the longstanding champions of the format, many of the decks with the best records are straightforward proactive decks attempting to combo or win as fast as possible. Burn, Splinter Twin, Ad Nauseam, Abzan Company, Birthing Pod, Amulet Bloom, and yes also both Infect and Dredge, are all examples of this linear proactive mentality.
Infect starts with your life in half, only needing to deal 10 points of poison damage, and does so in huge chunks with powerful pump spells, especially taking advantage of the Delve mechanic in the form of the busted Become Immense.
Dredge on the other hand, is attempting to abuse its namesake, one of the biggest "mistake mechanics" of all time. Dredge 5 is often akin to drawing 5 cards in this graveyard deck, spewing free creatures in the form of Bloodghast, Narcomeba, and Prized Amalgam. Amalgam and Cathartic Reunion were huge gains for the deck, and its newly amped power level was obviously a part of its increased presence in Rotterdam.
You know what else the two decks also have in common? They share minor overlap with the rest of the format, a huge strength when forming your team with access to a maximum of 4 copies of each Modern legal card. Infect is the only deck to play the swath of poison-dealing creatures and pump spells. Inkmoth Nexus overlaps with Affinity, but other than that the manabase is very shareable. Any mixture of blue and green fetchlands will suffice. The biggest card that Infect overlaps with is perhaps Noble Hierarch. The Exatled mana dork is a key part of Abzan Company and some builds of Abzan (Rock style.) But, when choosing decks for Team Unified Modern, that's exactly the kind of deck you're looking for. Minor overlap of just one key creature is much more ideal than a massive overlap of shocklands and fetch lands.
Dredge is similar in that its core base overlaps with no other tier 1 strategy. No other deck is trying to register Bloodghast and Narcomeba, and it only shares some small overlap with other graveyard strategies in its reliance on Faithless Looting, but honestly all of those decks are subpar compared to Dredge in all its busted-ness. While it can make due with any red or black fetchlands, Stomping Ground is the biggest piece it demands. As I mentioned previously, the highly sought-after Forest Mountain is going to be a big part of determining what 3 decks you field.
You know what other important facts these two decks share?
They both had cards banned in the January 9th B&R announcement. Infect lost Gitaxian Probe, and Dredge lost Golgari Grave-Troll.
Losing the powerful Dredge 6 card might have lowered Dredge's overall strength, but the Dredge 5 card, Stinkweed Imp, is slightly weaker option as the deck's best dredger but it gets the job done. Obviously this ban hasn't made the largest impact, as Dredge still managed to put two copies into the top 8 of Grand Prix Brisbane, as I've discussed in previous articles.
And while Infect might not have been terribly reliant on Gitaxian Probe, the deck does seem to have fallen by the wayside in the past 6 weeks. The deck has had only a few notable finishes, and I presume that is more due to the printing of Fatal Push than the banning of Probe. The little removal spell that could has quickly established itself as an important card in the metagame, and its widespread adoption has put a serious damper on creature based combo decks, especially one as all-in as Infect.
So if almost every team had at least one player on Infect and Dredge at the World Magic Cup, and we're to follow suit, which do we choose? Well, with what I just stated, I think it's obvious that the answer isn't Infect.
With Dredge on board, Stomping Ground is no longer up for grabs. This nixes Zoo, Naya Burn, and all forms of Jund from the table. That's a big price to pay, and determining whether you want Dredge, or Death's Shadow Jund on your team is probably the level 0 decision you need to make when approaching Team Unified Modern. With noted Dredge aficionado Peter Rawlings on my team, you know what were choosing.
So Dredge is on board and we've eliminated the hot new thing, Death's Shadow Jund (which just won the SCG Open in Dallas) from the table. What do we choose next? Come back next weekend as I narrow down our choices and reveal the other two thirds of our team!

Watermelon Bowl kicks Goat season into play
Is anybody ready for some football? Coach Steve Hale and the Groesbeck Goats are! Under a half moon and a clear, cloudless sky, the red versus white scrimmage was held Saturday at G.H.S. Stadium. Hot as the turf, the Groesbeck Goats are coming off a scorching 2016 season. I asked Coach Hale what will make this year's team better than 2016's? He answered, "Experience!" With six offensive and six defensive starters returning, Coach Hale said, "Year two in the system develops a greater understanding among the players. We are physical, disciplined, and experienced. This year we want to set a higher standard and an overall goal to have our name on a gold football." Last year the 9-3A Division I Goats finished with a five and six record under Coach Hale. Having helped lead La Marque to a state title, Coach Hale is no stranger to success. Fans of Groesbeck, young and old, enjoyed the sun, fun, and watermelon to kick off this year's 2017 Groesbeck Goat football season!

Hello! I'm Leigh. My name rhymes with twee and that's how I came up with the name for my wee company. I love when customers try guessing what rhymes with twee. My favorite thing about creating is; when selling at a fair, seeing the look on a customer's face light up as they read the messages inside my cards and their lips curl into a smile or they start to laugh.
I've been making since I was a wee one, but I started selling in 2005, mostly to get a free Sampler [RIP]. I started out making paper goods with my Riso Print Gocco, but I branched out and progressed to breakup bandages, shrinkeychains, pillows, magnets, stuffies, baby onesies, t-shirts, unbleached cotton tea towels, etc. I like to keep things at Rhymes with Twee HQ lively and I love learning new skills. With Gocco supplies in short supply, recently I started carving blocks and printing with those.
I am a doodler and not an artist. I love doodling! I am inspired by a variety of things, from weird animals to puns to music to fonts. My friend Jason Anderson is one of my biggest inspirations. He is a great lyricist, singer, and human being. You should listen to him here.
I am fond of these other words that rhyme with twee:
cacophony, catastrophe, glee, jubilee, merrily, revelry, squee, tea, wee.
Interested in saying hello, sending a recipe, telling me your favorite word that rhymes with twee, or something else?

It's been well known as one of the UK's most spectacular summer sporting events for nearly 200 years and the Henley Regatta planned for 2016 is no exception, with over 200 races over a mile of the Thames in five days of fierce and fun competition.
The History of the Henley Regatta
Starting in 1839 in the early Victorian era and taking place as a boat race in a single afternoon, the Henley Regatta became instantly popular locally and nationally, growing over time to today's international regatta. Such is the demand to be part of the competition that it was extended to the modern 5 day event in 1986, yet it retains a genteel Victorian style – from boaters to blazers, flags to flannels, boats to bow ties and club ties to competition cups!
The event has always traditionally taken place at Henley and is well recognised for a friendly garden party atmosphere, with just the right competitive edge to allow for all the fun of sporting competition between historic rowing clubs and international rowing teams, as well as student groups and junior events, which can include Olympic professionals alongside amateurs.
The ultimate aim is to win one of the competition's famous 'Pineapple' cups. There are 20 different prize competitions within the various competition groups, which usually include:
- 6 competitions for Eights (crews of 8)
- 3 competitions for Coxless Fours (teams of 4 without a Coxswain)
- 2 competitions for Coxed Fours (teams of 4 with a Coxswain)
- 5 competitions for Quadruple Sculls (teams of 4)
- 1 Coxless Pair cup competition
- 1 Double Sculls cup competition
- 2 Single Sculls cup competitions
What happens at Henley?
Most spectators come down to watch from the bank on both sides of the Thames at Templeton, Henley-on-Thames. The competition itself is run as a knock-out competition, with a racing schedule which, depending on the number of teams entering, can mean more than 90 races in the course of each of the event days.
Each race runs along a mile and 550 yards from Templeton to Phyllis Court, with teams taking approximately 7 minutes to cover the course. Since 1886, the heats of the competition have been races between two boats at a time. With a growing number of competing teams, races now start at 5 minute intervals in the knock-out stages, the only way to allow so many to take place! On the finals day, only the finals races are held.
The event itself is full of exciting gladiator-style team rowing which can be enjoyed by rowing enthusiasts. However, the event is also a real spectator-sport, offering an exhilarating and fun day out for both race-cheering and people- watching, lessons in team work (from the club dynamics of the racers and those cheering them on) and a water-side view of sheer enthusiasm and entertainment.
A Day at the Races…
The Days
The 2016 Henley Regatta begins on Wednesday June 29th, with the race finals taking place on Sunday 3rd July 2016. Key areas of the riverbanks are usually allocated into specific enclosures, such as the Stewards Enclosure (for rowers, their relatives and specific members and their guests only) and the ticketed Regatta Enclosure (with ticket prices starting at £20).
It's free to view from the long, narrow areas of the riverbank, although it's necessary to get there early, particularly for that final weekend with the grand-racing semi-finals on Saturday 2nd July and the regatta finals on Sunday 3rd July.
The Dress Code
Attending the races is a real experience and being at Templeton for the starts of races offers a key position for viewing the nerves, jostling and enthusiasm as each race gets underway. The optimum viewing position for race starts is on the riverbank opposite Temple Island, but bear in mind that it is at least a mile down to the riverbanks and although the event lends itself to romantic notions of hats, heels and finery, on the trek to the riverbank heels are likely to hinder, rather than help.
If attending the event in one of the enclosures, it's also worth knowing that there is a dress code which echoes the regatta's history and pageantry. In the Steward's Enclosure, women's dresses should be of a length which falls below the knee and although hats are not compulsory, they are customary, whilst jackets or blazers, lounge suit or flannels and ties or cravats are required for the men.
In the Regatta Enclosure, the dress code is relaxed, smart casual, although many groups and individuals here (as well as along the free areas of the riverbank) tend to mirror the dress code of the Steward's Enclosure as part of the spirit of the day, creating a riverbank spectacular of floaty florals and dapper blazers.
The Henley Hospitality
The iconic Henley Regatta is a real high-spot in the corporate hospitality calendar, with plenty of packages offering a waterfront position, a fine dining and cocktails concept, personal service and high-class guest facilities.

So I'm seeing a lot of talk against the new Pope because he's anti-gay, abortion, etc etc. As if people are SURPRISED that he will think this way. It's against his religion, and he was a Cardinal, what else is he supposed to believe? They're taking this belief as if it's some sort of indication that he's going to be just another evil pedophile-apologizer pope.
Did people really think that somehow a new pope meant he was going to stand up and endorse women priests, become pro-choice and start allowing gay weddings at St. Peter's? I think it's way more important that he's a big believer in social justice, in helping the poor, and getting rid of the horrible economic inequalities, especially in the Latin countries and Africa. This is very important, IMO more important than gay rights. I guess it still stands to be seen how he goes about fixing the damage from the sexual abuse scandals.
But, I don't know. I'm a lapsed Catholic for liberal, feminist reasons, but the Church is hugely important to my family (many of whom happen to be Argentinian) and my FB feed has shown a lot of shitty angry comments against this new Pope who we have known for about 6 hours. And the knee-jerk hate gets to me. People immediately assuming he's the Catholic Fred Phelps bug me.

On the day when the Grateful Dead plays its final concert in Chicago, an organization called Playing for Change released a heartwarming video of musicians around the world performing "Ripple," which was written by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter, and first released in 1970
Playing for Change bills itself as a "multimedia movement created to inspire, connect and bring peace to the world through music."
Featured in the video are musicians from Argentina, the Congo and New Orleans, along with David Hildago of Los Lobos and Billy Kreutzmann of the Dead. Jimmy Buffett and David Crosby also contributed to the effort. Read more…

We have been gather our numbers, marshalling our resources, and procuring information as we ramp up to a #prisoner106 #ds106 summer 2015 event. GIFs have been developed and shared, and a few of our number have already undergone an Arrival in The Village. Others will be joining us as they find there way here, or as they are encouraged to join us. Have YOU Resigned to Arrive?
Week One: Assimilation Week
June 29th/15 – July 5th/15
All holiday diversions for this week will be wrapped up by midnight on July 5th/15. Failure to meet this deadline will require that we turn off the electricity to your bungalow. You have been warned.
The first week of our summer getaway is dedicated helping you to find your way around The Village:
- to ensure that you have settled yourself into your bungalow (likely WordPress);
- to ensure that your services are established (social media accounts such as Twitter, Flickr, SoundCloud, YouTube, etc.); and
- to allow you circulate in The Village to introduce yourself to your Fellow Residents (via introductory posts, tweets, photos, video, audio, and comments on their own posts).
In addition, we'll be using this week to get re-acquainted the Lay of The Land, the Local Climate, and some of the Basic Tenets behind 1968 cult SpyFi series, The Prisoner.
Welcome to Week 1 of Prisoner106. The first thing you should do this week (and every week) is watch the video (above). In it, Number 2 will lay out a plan for the week. Note that this is not Number 2's Plan, it is Your Plan. Follow Your Plan and All Will Be Well. These videos are a vital resource for you and you should never skip them! We cannot emphasize this enough. If you try to rely on just the list below of what you need to complete, there is a good chance you will get confused or miss out on important tips and vital INFORMATION!
Below is a detailed list of what is to be completed this week.
- Review the Itinerary
You need to spend some time reading and familiarizing yourself with the Itinerary for your holiday here in The Village. If you are a longstanding Resident, then you likely have a sense of what is involved. If you are a newly arrived Resident, this little adventure will likely be full of a number of new challenges. The Itinerary is your holiday guide for understanding the workings of The Village and what your activities will entail. The Committee is expecting you to read and review it and then email us or send us a message via Twitter with any questions you may have. In next week's video, we'll answer those questions. If you have immediate concerns about the Itinerary that can't wait until then, just email Number 2 directly and The Committee will work with you to answer your questions to their satisfaction.
- Check In
Visit The Office and pick up any supplies which you may need. Additional supplies and resources may be available here as your holiday extends. Check periodically.
- Move In
Ensure that you have a blog site is up and running, and that we are receiving your feed within the prisoner106.us aggregate flow. You should be tagging all posts for this little holiday with the tag prisoner106. If you do not have a blog established, we will share with you that WordPress is a favourite of Individuals everywhere. INFORMATION about installing WordPress is here. Contact us in The Office if you need any support in this area. This set of WordPress resources are good to keep handy.
- Confirm your Resignation
Once your blog is available on the web (it should be almost immediate), ensure that you have Resigned to join us in The Village. You MUST do this in order for everyone to see the posts you'll be writing for the class. Rover is good, but we do not want you to sneak by unnoticed. Be sure you are Resigned. You may wish to post a badge (available in The Office) to your blog at this time.
- Get an Avatar
- You will need to select or create an "avatar" for yourself. This is an icon or image that can represent you online (it need not be your face). This should preferably be a square image.
- Create a "gravatar" for yourself at http://gravatar.com using the email address you most likely will use while in The Village (and keep in mind you can associate your gravatar with several email accounts). Many sites (such as our prisoner106.us site) will automatically use this image as your avatar.
- Set up Your Social Media
Create accounts and fill out profiles for yourself (if any of these let you set an avatar, use the same icon as you set up on Gravatar) on:
- Flickr (photo sharing) http://flickr.com
If you are new to Flickr or have no images in your account, you MUST post at least 5 images to your flickr account right away (they can be whatever you want); Flickr may not verify and make your account public until there are 5 images there. When you upload your photos, tag them with prisoner106 and ds106. Get in the habit of doing this!
- Soundcloud (audio publishing) http://soundcloud.com/
Set up an account if you don't already have one.
- Google / Youtube (video sharing) http://www.google.com/accounts/
If you have a Gmail account, you are already set with this. If not create a Google account. This is what will allow you to join any synchronous video discussions we have (in Google Hangout) and gives you access to YouTube.
- Vimeo (video sharing) http://vimeo.com
Alternatively, if you don't want to (or can't) get a YouTube account (like @jimgroom), feel free to use Vimeo for your videos.
- Twitter http://twitter.com
Twitter is one of the main channels for communication here during your Summer 2015 #ds106 #prisoner106 stay here in The Village. If you already have an account for personal purposes, you are welcome to use it or create a new account for communication related to this class. Make sure you customize your profile! Send your first message of greeting and be sure to use the #prisoner106 hashtag (and also #ds106, if you have room) in your tweets. Learn how to search on the #prisoner106 and #ds106 hashtags.
- Flickr (photo sharing) http://flickr.com
- Introduce Yourself
Now that you have all your accounts, it's time to use them to introduce yourself to the class. Use Twitter, SoundCloud, YouTube, and Flickr to introduce yourself to your Fellow Residents, and be creative. Once you've done that, you need to embed them all into a WordPress blog post. Here are some tips for embedding media in WordPress
- Village Information Card:
If you are ready, complete and fill out your Village Information Card. A blank card is available from The Office. You can share it (full size 1024×650) on your Flickr, and embed it in your introductory post, and we will add it to our page of Residents. (You can see a few there already!) If you are still finding your way around image editing, you can hold off submitting your card until we cover that next week.
Are you exhausted yet? There a lot more still. Why spend your week sitting alone in your bungalow when The Village has so much to offer? Greet each new day with the rising sun and explore! If you wait until the weekend to do your all work you will be crushed!
- Explore
Dig into the backstory of The Prisoner.
We'll be using The Prisoner as a storytelling context for this Summer 2015 #ds106 playspace. This week, we'll begin by watching three episodes of The Prisoner: Arrival, Free for All, and Dance of The Dead. All three episodes are available for viewing in The Archive.
- Episode Order
Recognize that there is considerable controversy regarding the "proper sequence" for viewing the 17 episodes. This may become a question for discussion amongst ourselves as we explore the themes of the series and the nature of a narrative. What themes emerge from these three episodes? What questions does the series raise if we look at these three episodes as introduction?
- Suggest Some Related Peripheral Media
After completing the 3 viewings, consider suggesting media that you think might augment the series and promote enjoyment and understanding for your fellow Residents. Think about the decade (mid-late 60s), the politics and media of the time, and major issues that were at play. Please write about them on your blog. We are also gathering a collection of related resources.
- Extended Viewing
The following pieces might be interesting to watch while you are just settling into The Village:
- The Prisoner (2009) Consider watching the first episode of the 2009 remake, also titled Arrival. (It is included in the Archive.)
- Wayward Pines (2015): Consider watching the first episode of the 2014 series Wayward Pines: Where Paradise is Home. (A trailer is posted in the Archive, you will have to dig to find the series as it is still in first run and may be available online in your area. It is also in the iTunes store.)
- Write your Weekly Summary
You'll be completing these summary posts on your blog every week. These posts are REALLY important. We use them to establish your Credit Unit allocation each week, so you need to link to other posts you've written, embed media you've created, and narrate the process of learning that you went through this week. (Remember, we debit your Credit Units to cover the costs of your food and lodging while in The Village. And your electricity.)
- This week, write a post that shares your reflections on the first week and your impressions of The Village.
- What did you learn?
- What was harder than you thought it would be? What was easier?
- What drove you crazy? Why? What did you really enjoy? Why?
- How does any of this help you to enjoy your stay in The Village and help you Assimilate into Our Little Community?
- What Big Questions are you exploring as a result of your First Week here in The Village?
The Nature of our Community is such that we will each likely Become Imprisoned by our Own Answers. It is only that by Sharing Widely we can Free Every One! Get out and join in this wonderful holiday learning experience! Remember, you are here #4life!
Yours, in The Village
Number 2 (signed)

All our Yoga and Pilates classes are small (around 5 - 8 students per session) so our instructors are not able to run them as "drop-in" sessions. Participants are therefore asked to commit to a block of either a term or a half-term of weekly classes. Each instructor keeps their own list of participants, so please contact them direct to find out if there are any places available.
