Who Killed Jackie Bates?
[murder and Mercy During the Great Depression]Book - 2008
Non-Fiction Award
Saskatoon Award
Book of the Year Award
On the morning of 5 December 1933, a young RCMP constable discovered a grisly scene in the Avalon schoolyard in rural Saskatchewan. A young boy lay dead in a rented car, an apparent victim of carbon monoxide poisoning. In the car with him were his parents, who would survive both the effects of the gas and self-inflicted knife wounds only to face murder charges in their son's death. The subsequent trial of Ted and Rose Bates ranks as one of the most hotly debated in Saskatchewan history.
Historian Bill Waiser examines an incident long held up as an example of the sheer despair and bureaucratic heartlessness of the Depression and shows that the truth is much more complex.
Through meticulous research, including letters, police and trial documents, contemporary accounts, and interviews with people who knew Ted, Rose, and Jackie, the author recreates the troubled lives and desperate times of Ted and Rose Bates in order to explain what led them to that isolated schoolyard on a cold December night. Waiser traces the Bates' story from Ted and Rose's arrival in Canada as immigrants searching for a better life to the final outcome of their dramatic trial.
The story is written with an immediacy that goes beyond a more traditional narrative approach in order to provide a better understanding and appreciation of the circumstances behind the sorry incident. The words spoken throughout the book are taken verbatim from the sources and serve to reinforce that the Bates were not simply helpless victims of the Depression, but flawed people with complex personalities.
Who Killed Jackie Bates? superbly recreates the Depression ethos to provide insight into a time and place that seem light years away from the Canada of today.

It is the siren song of late spring and early summer.
Or, if you will, the plaintive wail of the Delco home owner.
It's the sound of your taxes going up.
Unless you happen to live in the Upper Darby or Marple Newtown school districts, get out your wallets. Your property tax bill is going up one more time. The 12 other public school districts in the county will be asking home owners to pay more. Chester Upland did not return several phone calls seeking the information.
The increases range from 1 percent in Chichester to 3.4 percent in Wallingford-Swarthmore and 3.62 percent in Radnor.
It's even worse in Interboro. Facing a serious deficit, the school board there swallowed hard and decided not only to increase taxes but also slash about 20 jobs.
In Upper Darby, school board members are offering what amounts to a one-year pass for homeowners. Instead of increasing taxes, they are instead tapping their fund balance to stem the tide of a hefty deficit.
They're not the only ones. Those balances are being raided across the county, with Upper Darby leading the pack, utilizing a whopping $6.5 million dollar helping from this account to fend off the rising red ink in the district.
Rose Tree Media is dipping into its account to the tune of more than $5 million; nearly $2.5 million in William Penn; and $2 million in Chichester.
Many board members and financial experts are not big fans of expending these funds, saying they leave the districts in a very vulnerable position and could even affect the schools' bond ratings.
We still back the boards that tapped these funds to ease the burden on local property owners.
There is at least one other sliver of good news for overtaxed residents, in particular those in the struggling school districts of eastern Delaware County. The move this spring by the Legislature to make permanent a new education funding formula developed by a bipartisan legislative panel will help immensely. It will take in several factors that hinder local district's ability to raise money, in particular an eroding tax base. It also will factor in a number of other issues, such as the number of special education students, those facing language challenges, and of course the elephant in the room, the problem with charter schools sucking away funds meant for public schools.
This year's budget also will deliver an infusion of new money. Gov. Tom Wolf was successful in getting an additional $200 million in education funding, less than what he wanted, but still direly needed. In most cases, that money was already factored into this year's budgets by optimistic school board members.
Now the ball really will fall into the Legislature's hands. With the funding formula now in place, it will remain largely toothless unless it is properly funded.
It's like buying a Maserati and then using tainted gas, causing the engine to sputter.
The calls no doubt will continue across the state to remove the albatross of property taxes that form an anchor around the neck of so many home owners, especially senior citizens and those on fixed incomes.
But one effort after another to remove the property tax as the prime funding mechanism for education has failed, and there is no reason to believe that is going to change. Every effort to replace the property tax has stalled. Republicans clutch their chests at the mere thought of subbing increases in the sales or incomes tax for the property tax. Other methods have problems with the numbers, in other words the revenue doesn't add up. That would create a situation even worse than the one currently in place.
For now, we salute the boards in Upper Darby and Marple Newtown for holding the line. That's especially true in Upper Darby, which is taking a huge hit in their fund balance to avoid a tax hike. We also feel for a district such as Interboro, where directors made the difficult choice to both raise taxes and cut jobs.
And we await next year, to see the full effect of the education funding formula, and the hope that it is properly funded by the Legislature.
The unfair playing field has taken a toll for years here in Delaware County, where many students in struggling districts get less than their more well-to-do neighbors simply because of their zip code, and homeowners likely pay through the nose for the same reason.
In the meantime, get out your wallets. It's time to pay your school taxes. That tired song remains unchanged for most of Delaware County.

Department or Program
In looking at the responsibilities of the performer of Western Classical music, we must consider music, like many art forms, as a mode of communication. Whether the composer's writing depicts a tangible idea or narrative or expresses less definable emotions, the performer coming to the music grapples with the responsibility of representing that extra-musical content in performance, how those ideas should influence performance style, and what kinds of freedoms the performer has with the written notes on the page. My thesis takes two parts: the first is a performance with a carefully selected program of flute repertoire ranging from pieces as programmatic as Debussy's Prelude to "The Afternoon of a Faun", to J. S. Bach's Sonata in E-flat, which presents no programmatic context. I explore these ideas in my written thesis, by isolating three works from my program that represent the variety of programmatic influence found in compositions. In each work I examine the motives of the composer and extra-musical ideas he contemplated while writing. I follow this with in-depth interviews with flute performers and teachers knowledgeable in each respective style of music, discovering their views of extra-musical influences and the weight those carry in performance. Engaging published accounts of the motives and contexts of a musical composition with the opinions of musicians performing and teaching the music today, this thesis explores how extra-musical ideas surrounding a piece are physically manifested and sheds light on the elusive effect that preparation has on a final performance.

Money Transfer
ATTENTION: As of June 28 2017, Western Union will be no longer be offering Telephone Money Transfer Services. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

The money transfer service offered over the telephone offers the ability to send money using a Discover®, Visa® or MasterCard® credit card issued by a Canadian financial institution. Call 1-800-325-6000 to speak to a Customer Service representative, who will walk you through the money transfer process.
The sender completes a "To Send Money" form and pays the Agent cash to cover the transfer amount plus applicable fees. The Agent immediately processes the transaction. To pick up the money, the receiver completes a "To Receive Money" form at any Western Union Agent location and provides proper identification, or answers a test question. The agent then pays the transfer amount to the receiver.
The Western Union Money Transfer service at Agent locations offers the ability to send cash at Agent locations worldwide. Agents may also accept credit cards or debit cards.
The service is available online 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Each Western Union Agent location determines its own hours of operation, and most maintain extended hours, or even stay open around the clock.

Sending Money
Money is usually available for pick up within minutes of sending. However, pick up is subject to Agent location hours of operation, differences in time zones and conditions of service.
Senders may need to present identification or provide other information to meet government requirements. To send money from an Agent location you do not need a credit card, debit card, bank account, Western Union membership, or citizenship papers.
At an Agent location you can send as much money as you like. However, certain security compliance requirements must be met for amounts exceeding $1,000.00 or to comply with government requirements. If you are sending to the state of Arizona in the United States, you may only send $450 USD per transaction.
Any time after the money transfer has been sent, you can track your money transfer online at this web site. All you need is your name and the Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) to verify if the money transfer has been paid.
No, you do not need a bank account to send or receive money.
In some parts of the world you can send money to a bank account. Please check with Customer Service or your Western Union Agent for details.
Receiving Money
Within Canada: Driver's License, current passport or provincial health insurance card are valid identification. Outside of Canada identification requirements may be different. Check with the Agent location in the receiving country.

You will need to complete a "To Receive Money" form with the following information: your name, address, amount expected. You also need to know the sender's name, telephone number, city and province/territory being sent from. Some restrictions and other requirements may apply.
In most cases, money transfers are paid out in cash in local currency. However, depending on the amount sent and the location, some money transfers will be paid out by cheque, or in a combination of cash and a cheque. Other restrictions may apply.
You may pick up your money transfer at any Agent location.

Sending Money to the Philippines
Remittances paid out in the Philippines are subject to a Documentary Stamp Tax or DST. DST is required by the Philippine Government, under Section 181 of the National Revenue Code of 1997, to be paid by Customers for all international inbound money transfers in the Philippines.
DST is thirty centavos (P0.30) for every Two Hundred Pesos (P200.00) Principal increments or a fraction thereof, of the face value (Principal Amount Sent).
|Principal amount sent
|P200 increments
|Principal to be received is (P10,000.00-P15.00)
The Documentary Stamp Tax is directly deducted in Philippine Pesos from the amount received and displayed in the generated customer receipt upon payout.
In cases where the remittance amount is to be received entirely in US Dollars, the receiver may opt to provide the Documentary Stamp Tax due in Pesos based on the equivalent Peso amount of the payout.
An OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) beneficiary, recipient or receiver may avail of the DST exemption upon showing the original, or a duplicate copy or certified true copy of one of the following valid proofs of entitlement:
- Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) issued by the POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Authority) obtained through the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA); or
- Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) Membership Certificate issued by OWWA offices abroad; or
- Electronic receipt (e-receipt) issued by the POEA in the Philippines and contains the OEC (front) and OWWA Membership Certificate (back).
A proof of entitlement that is no longer valid shall not entitle an OFW to any DST exemption.
The above exemptions are provided in Revenue Regulations No. 11-2012 and Republic Act No. 8042 (otherwise known as the Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act of 1995, as amended by Republic Act No. 10022)
In the event that the paying Agent has deducted more DST than they should have, please report the incident through any of our customer support options available to you here

Most of us have heard it said "Be careful what you pray for; you just might get it!" And what if your prayer is for patience? No one wants the trials to develop patience, right? But oh, how I need patience. Yesterday I had to just stop and pray for it. Ask and you shall receive. So I'm sharing a prayer for patience with you…
A Prayer for Patience
Dear Father,
Today I feel like every task is a race;
I'm falling short on giving grace.
It's a scary thing to ask for what I need;
I recognize lessons to be conceived.
In this moment, I need your abundant grace
And request your strength to slow my pace.
Jesus, would you grant me patience
And your Holy Spirit to be my guide?
Give me a willing ear to listen;
A gracious hand would you provide?
May my mouth speak only with love;
And my heart reflect light from above.
Please help my mind focus intentionally,
And my actions praise you eternally.

This is where the "Shared Custody" label came from.
HB 1550 was signed by Governor Nixon July 1, 2016 and went into effect immediately. What does this mean for you? Probably nothing. Here is a link to the Bill so you can read it yourself, click here.However, if you are not a fan of legalese, let me summarize the changes.
"Parenting plan guidelines shall be made available on the office of state court administrator's website." Nothing special here. They have always been available to the public, and this does not require a change to the guidelines.
Justification for the amount of child support ordered is now required to be set forth in the Judgment. I honestly have never seen a Judge not do that anyway.
Custody is still determined on the best interests of the child, that hasn't changed, nor has the factors they are to consider. They tried to make clear a provision requiring justification for the custody ordered, but again, I have never seen a Judge fail to do this.
"The court shall not presume that a parent, solely because of his or her sex, is more qualified than the other parent to act as a joint or sole legal or physical custodian for the child."This is a new sentence added to the existing sentence stating,"As between the parents of a child, no preference may be given to either parent in the awarding of custody because of that parent's age, sex, or financial status, nor because of the age or sex of the child." Call me crazy, but that seems redundant.
"After August 28, 2016, every court order establishing or modifying custody or visitation shall include the following language: "In the event of noncompliance with this order, the aggrieved party may file a verified motion for contempt. If custody, visitation, or third-party custody is denied or interfered with by a parent or third party without good cause, the aggrieved person may file a family access motion with the court stating the specific facts that constitute a violation of the custody provisions of the judgment of dissolution, legal separation, or judgment of paternity. The circuit clerk will provide the aggrieved party with an explanation of the procedures for filing a family access motion and a simple form for use in filing the family access motion. A family access motion does not require the assistance of legal counsel to prepare and file." This was honestly a good change, because it educates people on how to handle non-compliance issues. However, If you had me as an attorney, then we had this discussion anyway. Never-the-less, this doesn't change the initial case.
"No court shall adopt any local rule, form, or practice requiring a standardized or default parenting plan for interim, temporary, or permanent orders or judgments. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, a court may enter an interim order in a proceeding under this chapter, provided that the interim order shall not contain any provisions about child custody or a parenting schedule or plan without first providing the parties with notice and a hearing, unless the parties otherwise agree." This one seems obvious to me, and no court around here seems to be in violation. Again, this changes nothing.
"The court shall consider, in a proceeding to enforce or modify a permanent custody or visitation order or judgment, a party's violation, without good cause, of a provision of the parenting plan, for the purpose of determining that party's ability and willingness to allow the child frequent and meaningful contact with the other party." Here is yet another example of redundancy. The courts are already required to do this, so I see no change.
The Parenting Handbook everyone receives at the start of their case will now include, "(1) Guidelines as to what is included in a parenting plan in order to maximize to the highest degree the amount of time the child may spend with each parent;" The problem is that it doesn't mandate what that means. Again, every Court around here maximizes contact with both parents while considering the best interests of the child. This changes nothing.
The handbook will be available online, and the parties will get a copy! Hooray!

Proster Pal contains juices of Garlic, Lemon, Ginger, Onion andvegetable green Turmeric added with Apple Cider Vinegar (Heinz USA) andEucalyptus Honey.
Preservative not added.
Disclaimer: This product is a natural cure for heart blockages and pain. It can be taken by those who can't afford heart transplants or angioplasty and also for the ones who want to treat the problem naturally. However, we suggest you refer yourself to a doctor in case of serious conditions.
Dosage (Morning): Take 15-20ml (4/5-Teaspoonfuls) first thing in the morning (empty stomach) mixed in about 100-125ml lukewarm water. For better results, eat or drink anything ONLY after a gap of 45 minutes.
Dosage (Noon): You may, if felt necessary, repeat the dosage two hours after lunch.
Ginger is one of the most potent blood thinners. Scientists call ginger a cardio tonic agent.The blood clots that trigger heart attack dissolve when exposed to ginger.
Lemon water performs blood purification because it contains vitamin C and antioxidants and high content of potassium which help in removing dangerous free radicals from the body and improve the immune system.
Bad Cholesterol clogs up the arteries. Garlic has the ability to moderately lower our blood triglycerides and total cholesterol and reduce arterial plaque formation.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Scientists have measured ninety different substances in apple cider vinegar such as Vitamin C, E, A, B1, B2, B6, Provitamin beta-carotene etc. The potassium in apple cider vinegar is beneficial to both the heart and blood pressure, and in some quarters this remedy is said to assist in making the blood thinner, and thereby assisting with blood pressure and in the prevention of a stroke. Since apple cider vinegar is used to promote the health of veins and capillaries, it is by implication also useful in assisting in the health of the heart and blood pressure.
Honey has 5,000 live enzymes, 22 amino acids and trace minerals like potassium, magnesium and copper which help in the smooth functioning of the heart. Honey is rich in natural antioxidants. It also acts as anti-ageing.

Vanderbilt loses 2017 RB commitment
Vanderbilt's recruiting efforts suffered a blow Monday night.
The Commodores' only 2017 commit, three-star running back Lamont Atkins from Lake Braddock (Burke, Va.) High School, announced his de-commitment from Vanderbilt via Twitter late Monday.
"This has been heavy on my mind over the past few weeks but I know I'm not 100% sure about my commitment to Vanderbilt University," Atkins tweeted. "Therefore, I have decided to de-commit from Vanderbilt University and reopen my recruitment. I just need some time to think through with a clear mind.
"I sincerely hope the Vanderbilt coaching staff and entire Commodore family can understand my decision. I'm truly thankful for the way I was accepted into your family and I will forever be grateful for the time Coach Mason and the entire staff has invested in me throughout my recruitment."
The 5-foot-11, 200-pounder had been committed to Vanderbilt since Nov. 2015, and holds eight reported offers from Virginia, Maryland and Yale, among others.
The Commodores will now need to start from square one with their Class of 2017 recruitment after signing 20 prospects in last year's cycle, including three-star running back Jamauri Wakefield from Jacksonville, Fla.

VOGUE ITALIA w/ Sabina Lobova & Larissa Thome - Elvis Inspired -
On location in the country outside Paris on a beautiful sunny day for this Vogue Italia story. The watch word is Elvis Presley inspired hairstyles with an individual, unique flair, remembering the time and attitude of rock n roll.
The idea is a laid back, independent girl influenced by the King's style but interpreted in her own way just hanging out in her beautiful house. The look was free style rock and roll with lightness and freshness.
I decided to create some stylish sideburns and keep the sides of the hair sleek but muss up the hair at the crown of the head to almost a messy, grunge style. I didn't want the obvious comb marks that are often seen in Elvis hairstyles, called rock'n roll banana hairstyle's in french.
The styling was exceptional, very rich in information, codes and accessories – impressive. To complement and balance the silhouette I created a looser more imperfect look. We decided better to forget the greasy aspect of the Elvis style and go for a fresher, less heavily coiffured style.
Our model had very long, dry hair and I needed to go in the complete opposite style direction for a sleek head with no extra volume. I cut Sabina's hair first and created layers to get a light texture so I could finesse the look.
To create the look I worked with a leave-in conditioner using just a paddle brush to smooth and control the texture, my fingers to finesse and some Bobby pins and a strong hold hairspray to hold the shape.
Tools & Products I used to create this look:
Cut – I cut Sabina's hair and layered it then added a fair amount of non-greasy Goldwell leave-in conditioner to nourish the hair and tame the volume.
Brush – I brushed the hair to get rid of tangles and knots for a smooth base to start from.
Bobby Pins – I pinned the hair in different places as a starting point to create the shape I was looking for and then picked out pieces of hair to break the consistency of smoothness and finesse the shape for a perfectly-imperfect tousled look with some flyways and straggling locks.
Spray – I sprayed the shape using a Goldwell hairspray to keep it in place, making sure some flyaway hairs and mussing was visible and some tresses were hanging down over the forehead.

Now before we get started on the important business of reviewing the motorcycle I should say I'm a little bit biased towards the F800GS. I rode one while at Simon Pavey's off-road training school and that was one of the best weekends I've ever had, not just of riding bikes, but ever.
I'm not sure if this makes me terribly sad or just a little bit too into motorbikes but I think you should be aware that just looking at the bike, especially covered in mud, reminds me of good times. And yes, I've just realised that sounds a bit sleazy. At the off-road school I got to experience what the F800GS is like in the mud with proper knobbly tires on it, and I'll put a link to that at the bottom of the page. This is a review of what the bike is like on the roads.
I tried to think of somewhere completely unlike rural Wales to take the bike. Something far away from the rolling hills and muddy tracks I'd been on before so I took the motorbike to London. In the rush hour. In the rain.
Since I first encountered the F800GS when it was parked up next to a load of 1200 GS motorbikes I always think of it as rather small, well perhaps not small but not huge. However when you put it next to most other bikes it's size is fairly noticeable. It's a bit of a giant, but in a good way. The only time that this became an issue was when I was trying to park the bike, although too be fair the panniers were causing most of the troubles.
The bike had the BMW panniers attached to it and they are big, heavy and waterproof. They are wider than the handle bars and after about ten minutes of riding around London I realised why you never see couriers with panniers, they only ever have top boxes. They also make it fairly difficult to park the bike snugly in the motorcycle bays dotted around London. On the plus side the can be removed in a few seconds with a satisfying clunk so once you've found a space you just pop them off and put the bike in.
The rest of the ride around London was fairly uneventful. The F800GS has lots of pleasant torque at low revs which means if you need to blip ahead of someone when the traffic lights go green you will. While it can be a little bit snatchy at low speeds once you allow for that with a bit of clutch work it's great fun. It's roll-on acceleration is really impressive so if you have to go from 30mph to 60mph it will get you there before almost anyone else.
The height is also an advantage, while sat in the seat you will see over the top of most cars and if you stand up on the pegs you'll be able to see over the roofs of black cabs which is very, very useful. So useful in fact that they should include that in the sales pitch when selling the bike in London.
The next big test of the bike was some motorway riding. I had to go up to Silverstone for a work thing and then down to Devon. The weather report was awful with rain, vicious crosswinds and even a hint of snow. This would be a proper long distance test of the bike. I zipped up everything I could on my Tuareg suit (a link to the review is at the bottom of the page) and set off.
At 70mph the bike cruises happly, and strangely doesn't seem to actually use any petrol. It has a specially programmed engine which tries to use as little fuel as possible and it really works. it's amazing how far you can go between filling up.
Aside from the surprising fuel economy there isn't really much else to report about the bike on long distance slogs and I mean that as a good thing. I travelled through horrible cross winds, had to deal with rush hour on a motorway in the snow and even a couple of slightly hairy moments when a hire van decided to change lanes without indicating or checking it's mirrors the bike just dealt with it.
That's the overriding impression the bike gives, it deals with things confidently. Put the panniers on and you can cover vast distances with all the gear you will need without it getting wet and take them off and you've got a surprisingly slim bike that can slip through tiny gaps in traffic.
Even without the impressive fuel economy this would be a bike to consider but once you factor that in it's something you really should take for a test ride. BMW really are ahead of the pack on this, I talked to a load of other motoring journalists about reviewing bikes and they said the top question they get asked about bikes these days is fuel economy.
So it's stylish, comfortable, fast, adaptable and even suitable for when the fuel runs out and we live in a Mad Max style society fighting over petrol. in short it gets a big thumbs up from me.

Review of Hein Gericke Tuareg gear
Motorcycles aren't always the most practical forms of transport. They are brilliant at some things like city commuting or any sort of road that is at least mildly wiggly but for some things that are a bit lame. Moving house for example. No matter how well your Honda Goldwing or Harley Davidson Streetglide handles the miles it's carrying capacity is never going to match a van. Of course not being able to help people move house is sometimes an excellent idea.
Motorbikes aren't always about practicality, sometimes they are just about fun. Which is why people occasionally choose to ride things that aren't terribly sensible. Riding motorbikes is almost always enjoyable, but you can do things that make it even more fun like buying some Halcyon motorcycle goggles.
Just looking at the goggles makes me smile and it has the same effect on other people. I think it might be because you look faintly silly, or perhaps because it reminds people of the sort of goggles fighter pilots wore in World War 2. Either way the reaction while wearing them is positive, it's the exact opposite of wearing a tinted visor.
I've been loaned a Triumph Bonneville T100 for a few days so I could write about it for a feature. Since I had the motorcycle I thought I would post a review of it online as well where I can make it a bit longer with out having to worry about word count.
As is traditional for first getting on a bike with a dealer or instructor watching you my ride away was a bit more wobbly than I would have liked. Which isn't to say that the T100 is a hard motorcycle to ride, it was just different, if anything it's a bit disarmingly easy to control but more on that later.
With the initial wobbles out of the way, and out of sight of everyone else I started to learn what the Bonnie was all about. It's a retro bike designed to evoke simpler times when nylon was futuristic and computers filled rooms. What this means is it's a motorcycle that looks like a proper motorcycle, but made as easy as a modern bike to ride and look after. This means people who don't ride bikes think it is cool, even my little brother thought it was excellent and his favourite bike is a Ninja so I was surprised that he took to it so much.
On the motorway the bike is fine, it's stable and will quickly get up to 70mph with out any bother. There is more power there if you want to throw away your license but it does tend to get a bit windy due to the lack of protection. I found this rather charming as it actually felt like you were going fast and it means you are more likely to stay with in the speed limits.
For the next part of the test I took the Bonnie on some wiggly back roads. A few of which were a bit more run-down than I remembered them, including one or two that had grass in the middle but that just added to the fun. The bike seemed happy with all of this and didn't mind just ambling along and people that I passed smiled and waved. I think they were slightly surprised to see a bike. To give you an idea of how remote these roads are, I rode for thirty minutes without seeing another vehicle.
After this I headed out onto some wider roads, with lovely sweeping corners and up some hills. This was when the Bonnie really started to come together, it was excellent fun riding it around these flowing roads and at around 60mph it really made sense. I was overtaking lorries and tractors and enjoying the beautiful countryside as I sped on by. This was what the bike was for, or at least I thought so until I took it into some towns to see what it was like.
It was in a city that the Bonnie really blew my socks off. The smooth engine and light clutch were perfect in traffic and the bike was surprisingly nimble. Even more brilliantly the bike will happlysit at 30mph and stay there so you can just set it at that speed and concentrate on other things like people pulling out when they shouldn't. This doesn't happen very often as it's a nice big bike with road presence so people see you and notice you and this is why I think the Bonnie would make such a great first big bike for any urban rider.
It feels like a big bike, and acts like one but it's tame and well behaved so after only a few minutes on it you are a far more confident rider. If I was going to be commuting in and out of London, and it wouldn't involve motorways this would be my bike of choice by a long way. I've been on scooters that were harder to manage than this motorcycle, the Bonnie doesn't have any weird strange habits or anything like that it just gets on with things leaving you to enjoy riding around.
In short if I wasn't already obsessed with another bike in the Triumph range I'd be seriously considering getting a Bonnie of my own, and I've already been recommending them to friends who are thinking of getting into biking. I'm going to stop writing now because, well I want to take the bike out for another spin before I have to hand it back.
It was because of this I invested in some very serious boots before my first adventure ride. I was told by the instructors that I had to wear motocross boots because of the high level of ankle protection they provide, normal road boots just wouldn't cut it. Water proofing wasn't an issue as they said that nothing will help when you end up walking through a river so just take lots of spare socks.
The plus side of having your ankles are so cosseted is that they are incredibly well protected, which is perfect for adventure riding. I was told that if I wore the boots around the house for a day before I went out riding it would be equivalent to the movements of thousands of miles or riding and they would become a bit more supple. So by the time I got to wear them on a motorbike they felt far more natural. They still were a bit like something Robocop would wear but at least they were nice and snug.
Gear changing proved a bit interesting at first, but once I got a feel for the shape of the boots it was fine. The chunky soles mean you can use the edge of them to move the gear lever up which helps if you are still struggling with the lack of ankle movement. I gave the boots a really hard time, they were walked through rivers, stamped in bogs, jammed under bikes and even used for a bit of running and they were brilliant.
Even though they aren't listed as waterproof you will be fine in a light shower or if you have to put your foot down quickly in a puddle and if they do get wet they dry out pretty fast. They even have a nice leather bit on the inside so you don't scratch your bike.
After a weekend in them my normal road going boots felt about as armoured as an old sock and so I suspect in the future I'll be wearing these TRG boots for more than just adventure riding.
The boots were £129.99 and you can order them here.

Okay, let me start off by saying this is an off-road review of the F 800 GS, I did get to ride the motorcycle around a bit on some roads but that was a fairly limited experience so I can't really talk about that yet. I'm going to try and do a road review in a bit but I'll have to sort out a loan of a motorcycle with BMW and various other things like insurance.
The first thing you notice when getting on the F 800 GS is that it is fairly tall, so I wouldn't recommend it to shorter riders. It's not stupidly tall but if you are riding something off-road you want to be able to stamp your feet down if you need to. It's also a pretty heavy motorbike. You don't realise it at first because the handling is so good but when you drop it a couple of times (like I did) it soon starts to get heavy. It's 185kg dry and a reported 207kg 'road ready' with a full tank which is a lot to lift in the mud. Interestingly the bike has a maximum load of 443kg so in theory you could use the F 800 GS to carry another F 800 GS if you could sort out the bungee cords to hold it on. That's pretty cool when you think about it and gives you an idea of the grunt this bike has.
This power is a bit of an issue until you get the hang of it, the controls are so sharp that if you go over a bump or a rock your hand may jerk around the throttle and the bike will go screaming off into the distance, possibly with you hanging on. I got caught out with this a few times until I got in the habit of riding in a higher gear and feathering the clutch to take the edge off the engine.
The bike is designed for people who really know what they are doing off-road so I have to admit the first day on it was a bit of a struggle. It was exhausting trying to control the bike over hills and things, it was just so eager to go and since a mistake was typically rewarded by having to pick the bike up again I was not a huge fan by the time came to go the pub. After chatting with the instructors about the bike over a pint (read about the course I was on here) they said you had to bully it a bit to get the best out of it and so that is what I resolved to do the next day.
With the advice I'd been given repeating in my head I set off on the second day of riding and tried to be a bit more bossy with the bike. I didn't quite understand what this involved at first but the F 800 GS has so much oomph in every gear that you can just chuck it into things and it will sort itself out. I just had to have the confidence to do that. The Eureka moment for me was during a hill climb where suddenly the vast amounts of power on tap became a huge asset and from then I was completely sold on the bike.
I could happily scream up and down hills in second gear, third with a bit of a run up and any really tricky tracks (the sort that would trouble you on foot) were resolved by just keeping the throttle open at a reasonable rate in first and using the clutch to control the speed. Even though I'd just adjusted my riding style a bit it felt like a completely different bike, an excellent bike, a wonderful bike.
The F 800 GS is a great machine, one that can handle almost any terrain and after you have been on it a bit other off-road bikes either seem a bit breathless or sluggish. It really is something really special so special that I think my dream garage may have to be changed a bit to make way for a new member.
Here is the official BMW F 800 GS website, and click here to read more about my time at the BMW Off-Road skills course in Wales.
I thought I'd do a quick report on the Tuareg suit I recently aquired, this review is based on two days of hard riding in Wales, in a range of weather conditions including sideways rain and boiling heat so I think it's a fairly good test. I even fell off a few times so the armour got a bit of a going over as well.
The suit is composed of three main components. An outer layer which isn't completely waterproof but seems to hold off light showers and splashes, some lovely chunky armour and a warm and waterproof inner lining. The outer layer has a load of pockets for storing small important things and includes a few handy vents that can be opened for extra cooling. On the back there is a quite large pocket mounted low down which I found perfect for stashing maps and my license in. The build quality is excellent and there are lots of little touches that make you realise how much thought has gone into the suit. The trousers are just as well made and the knee armour feels especially secure.
I spent most of the weekend wearing the trousers with the lining in, to try and stop getting completely soaked when riding through rivers but I wore the jacket without the lining to stay cool. I was fine in this combination in light showers but when it really started to rain I chucked in the waterproof lining and I was instantly snug and dry. It's a great bit of kit, my only niggle is that you have to be a little bit careful when opening and closing the poppers that hold the lining in. They are designed to be a lightweight as possible so they don't get in the way but this means they seem a bit fragile. You don't have to do them all up if you are in a hurry, I got caught in the rain and just zipped the lining in the front and left the poppers alone.
I'd say the suit gets a bit thumbs up from me. It's going to become part of my winter kit, who am I kidding it is my winter kit. It's lovely and warm, dries out really fast and it impresses girls who see it because it looks so serious. Yup, so I'd say that is a success. It would be suitable for a serious adventure rider but it would work just as well for a commuter who only rides to work but has sparkle in their eyes that hints of the Dakar.
The Tuarag jacket was £299.99, the trousers (pants for my American chums) were £129.99

Lauren Bacall was one of the last links to the golden age of Hollywood… yet she gracefully reinvented herself in later years, first on Broadway and then onscreen. She became a welcome presence as a character actress in such varied films as Murder on the Orient Express, The Shootist (with John Wayne), Lars von Trier's Dogville, and Birth (with Nicole Kidman). She contributed a fine voice performance to the American version of Hayao Miyazaki's animated feature Howl's Moving Castle and earned an Oscar nomination playing Barbra Streisand's mother in The Mirror Has Two Faces.
She had nothing but praise for Streisand, who also directed the film. In fact, it was the first time Bacall had worked with a female director. "It's great to be directed by a woman who really knows what she wants," she told me, "and Barbra certainly does know what she wants. She has a vision and she knows how to realize that vision.
"She had a definite concept of me playing this part. The preconceptions of me by a lot of people that I'm always this glamorous figure—or whatever people think I am—she wanted me not to be like that. And I said, 'I don't want to be like that…we've had enough of that,' " she said with a laugh. "We have a kind of thread between us that connects us…and I felt it in the scenes when we were playing them."
She was a formidable woman—some might say intimidating—yet she professed to be insecure. It's not necessarily a contradiction. I had good experiences every time I interviewed her, but I was always conscious of being on my toes. You didn't want to hesitate, or waffle, when speaking with Miss Bacall. (In that regard she was not unlike her friend Katharine Hepburn.)
Whenever we spoke, I covered the immediate subject at hand and then "snuck in" some questions about friends and colleagues from Old Hollywood, from Peter Lorre ("Funny, very analytical. A very complicated, fascinating man") to Charles Boyer ("Adorable man, wonderful actor. He was a terrific chess player and an insomniac. He and Bogie used to play chess on the set when we were making that terrible movie that almost ruined my career, Confidential Agent."). I once told her how much I enjoyed her appearances with Humphrey Bogart on Jack Benny's radio show, and she smiled at the memory. "He was a genius at what he did," she said. "And he was so generous to his guests. He didn't try to hog the limelight all the time, which was, of course, very rare.
"He came to see me in Applause half a dozen times, at least. When he first saw me in the show in New York, he said, 'You have perfect timing.' My God, coming from Jack Benny, who had perfect timing, I was so flattered."
Ultimately, I think of Lauren Bacall as a survivor: a star in her debut movie, To Have and Have Not, when she was barely 20, opposite the man who would become her husband, Humphrey Bogart, widowed in her early 30s, she moved from Hollywood back to her home town of New York and remarried. A year after divorcing her second husband (Jason Robards, Jr.) she made her Broadway debut and won a Tony Award for her performance as Margo Channing—a role created by her favorite actress, Bette Davis—in Applause. That opened the next chapter of her acting career, out of Bogart's shadow, and led to many fruitful years, culminating in an honorary Academy Award in 2010. That's a life, and a career, worth celebrating.

"After months spent closeted away, children emerge from hibernation, filling the air with the sound of their voices in the lengthening evening light." That's summer perfection, according to Josie Curran, author of The Book of Summer: How to Stretch Out those Halcyon Days (Virgin, £12.99).
In reality, it may be tough to drag them away from the Xbox, but having a few summery projects planned might lure your children outdoors. Josie's book is designed to help get the most out of a British summer. One of her inspired ideas to keep everyone busy – and save money – is to turn your garden shed into a tranquil summerhouse retreat: Once you've done your clear-out and decided where to store the lawnmower, you can get on with the fun part. If your shed is looking weathered then give it a fresh feel with some summerhouse paint and for a longer-lasting result, give the wood a treatment and then paint with a primer before the final colour.
You can achieve a vintage look with muted creams, duck-egg blues and National Trust greens, or go for bright circus colours. If you want to feel more outside than in, then with a little carpentry you can turn the front door of your summer house into a giant door. By doing this you create a three-sided outdoor room that can be shut back up when the weather warrants it.
Let your creativity run free on the inside. Trawl charity shops for old tables and chairs that can be brought back to life with a lick of paint. Soften the feel by covering the floor with rugs and cushions. Find an old sofa or chair to add a shabby vintage touch to your outdoor room.
You'll need an old double duvet cover or large curtain; two ropes, 16.5ft (5m) long.
Choose somewhere safe to hang the hammock. A couple of palm trees would be ideal, though an oak trunk next to a sturdy fence is also a winner.
Tie a simple knot at either end of your curtain or duvet cover.
Double over one of your ropes and tie a knot to create a loop. Run your loop around the tree or post and pass one end through the other, pulling tight to fix securely.
Create another loop using the dangling end of the loop and then thread one of the large material knots through this, pulling it tight.
Attach the other end of the hammock to another tree or post in exactly the same way.
Get your hands on 10 to 15 recently cut 2-metre willow whips to create your uprights (recently cut to ensure they'll grow). You'll also need about 30 willow rods for weaving. Go online to find your local supplier.
Find a spot where you're happy for your wigwam to permanently live.
Mark out your wigwam circle by pushing the uprights firmly into the ground, leaving a space for the door.
Gather the tops of your uprights together and tie them in place using twine (you may need a stepladder).
Weave your other willow rods in and out of your uprights to create a solid shape.
Relax and wait for your willow wigwam to start to grow. If you keep it well watered you'll be surprised at how quickly it shoots up. The first year's growth can be up to two metres. Once new branches start to form, keep trimming off any that stick out, and use what you trim to weave back in, which will add strength to your structure.

Police arrested one man and are looking for another in the June 6 sexual assault of a woman and the beating of a man, police said in a news release.
Joseph Peter Morgan, 25, and an accomplice broke into the couple's apartment at 11 p.m. earlier this month, Sgt. Don Stone said in the news release.
The 27-year-old man was beaten, he said.
The woman escaped through a window, ran to a neighbor's apartment and called police, Stone said.
The man also escaped, but only after being chased by Morgan and the other man, Stone said.
Morgan and the accomplice were both armed and took an undisclosed amount of cash from the couple's home, Stone said.
DNA taken from the apartment led detectives to Morgan, who was arrested at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Stone said.
Morgan, 8122 Ned Ave., was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on one count each of aggravated second-degree battery, armed robbery, second-degree sexual battery and simple battery, Stone said.
Anyone with information about Morgan's accomplice can contact police at (225) 389-4869 or Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-7867, Stone said.

Food Trip in Nanjing, China: The Lunch in the Employee Cafeteria
Those are the breakfast meals we had, next stop is the lunch meals at the company's cafeteria.
Like the rest of the employees of the engineering technology center in Jiangning District, we had our lunch at one of the level of their three-storey cafeteria between 12NN to 1PM. Yep! You read it right, the company has a 3-storey self-service restaurant that caters their thousands of employees.
The host took us at the 2nd level. Wondering the difference? Accordingly, each level has a different menu served and with equivalent price. The cheapest is in the 1st level at ¥10, ¥20 on the 2nd level and ¥30 at the 3rd where the executives usually had their lunch.
Imagine how crowded the dining halls are with thousand of employees flocking at the same time to take their lunch? So as much as I want to take some photos, I simply can't considering the situation. I only managed to snap photos of the foods I had when settled on one of the tables.
Looking at the food I got, because these were the only ones available, the Chinese are really into green vegetables, I actually saw a lot of green veggies there that I have not seen here in the Philippines yet. Though some of the foods were bland, some have unique flavor and delicious especially the desserts.
After the lunch, we had a chance to explore the area near the canteen.
They have a man-made lake + a garden, with a lot of newly transplanted flowering plants which after research were actually different variants of cherry blossoms.

Norton College in Sheffield may continue its unique photojournalism course, despite reports yesterday that it was to close.
But it will only keep the course going if enough students can be persuaded to pay more than double the current fees to attend classes.
This is one of the options currently being considered by the college in the wake of cuts funding for adult education courses.
Previously the course, which has run for 30 years, was partly subsidised by the government with each student paying £1,500. But now subsidy for the course has been scrapped its future is in doubt.
One option put forward by the college today is for students to pay the full £3,500- £4,000 fees. But the course will only go ahead if there is sufficient demand.
Norton is the only photography course in the UK which is accredited by the National Council for the Training of Journalists.
Andrew Cropley, Principal of Norton College, said: 'The future of the press photography and photojournalism block release and full time course is currently being reviewed following government funding cuts to adult courses, a fall in the number of applications to this course and changes within the media industry.
'The college is currently considering various options, as we recognise this is a unique, highly valued and prestigious training course.
'Previously, the course has been part subsidised through government funding and students have paid for part of their course costs, approximately £1,500.
'The college is exploring if the course can continue to be delivered from September 2010 with students paying all of the fee, approximately £3,500 to £4,000 and on the condition there is sufficient demand"

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 16:24:52 +0000 – By Liz PeekFinancial Columnist
I'm worried about our new president. He's been on the job only 14 days and he's already petulant. How in the world will he survive the next four years?
[caption id="attachment_6643" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="(AP)"][/caption]
Blasting away at Rush Limbaugh and Wall Street executives seems so out of character for our Charmer-in-Chief. What happened to the fellow who kept his cool throughout a grueling campaign, who promised to unite us, who urged us to "put aside childish things?" What's next -- a "na nana boo-boo" moment?
Obama needs to make this a better bill that both parties can support. He says he wants transparency -- why not break up this ungainly package into separate pieces that can be argued and adopted, and that won't provide cover for Democratic agenda items? Let's make it simple, and let's move.Nancy Pelosi th
But then came the stimulus bill. At first, I found excuses for the new president. He's been busy, I told myself. He hasn't had a chance to examine the 647-page collection of pet projects assembled by his Congressional colleagues.
I assumed that once Obama was made aware of the bill's absurdities and shortcomings, he would work with members of both parties to make it better. Indeed, he did weigh in on certain especially nonsensical items, such as $200 million for birth control, which were subsequently eliminated.
But, he hasn't challenged the core elements of the bill, which shamelessly promote labor's agenda and which set us further along the road to nationally-managed health care. Nor has he objected to the protectionist "buy America" language designed to curry favor with unions. Combined with the confrontational tone that Clinton and Geithner have taken towards China, the provisions suggest that the White House may well channel the disastrous Hoover administration. (Have they actually looked at who's buying all those nice new Treasury securities and thought about how a revaluation of the renminbi would affect those holdings?)
As important, he didn't register any of the disappointment that the rest of the country felt with the shortcomings of the bill. Where are the exciting new technologies and plans for the future? Instead, Obama is angry at the Republicans for not supporting the bill. What is he thinking?
Meanwhile, as we still listen for sleigh bells, there are other dissonant notes. There has been, for instance, the enormous build-up in Obama's White House bureaucracy. (Maybe this is his secret plan to fight rising unemployment). He has in a matter of days established a new White House office for the middle class, a new White House office on health care, a new White House office to develop urban policy and another to monitor technology. There's also a new White House office on climate change and energy and pretty soon he'll be adding a car czar to the list. Imagine how many staffers will be hired to flesh out these new departments. That is what he meant by infrastructure spending! Now I get it.
Meanwhile, he cheerfully clobbered the auto industry by allowing states to enact their own emissions standards, essentially forfeiting reasonable federal oversight on this process. It is hard to imagine a worse time to create new obstacles for Detroit's wounded auto makers.
To restore his popularity, Obama has climbed onto the bandwagon of all those folks who are hectoring Wall Street executives. This is not only unproductive (we still have to protect the banking system as distasteful as that may be) but it is distracting us from the important business of the day. The focus on John Thain's wastebasket has diverted the nation from considering important policy initiatives hidden in the stimulus bill. Maybe this is by design. It is certainly easier to arouse the nation's ire about "shameful" self-indulgence than to try to explain the "Comparative Effectiveness Research" outfit financed in the bill.
Obama needs to make this a better bill that both parties can support. He says he wants transparency -- why not break up this ungainly package into separate pieces that can be argued and adopted, and that won't provide cover for Democratic agenda items? Let's make it simple, and let's move. The whole world is watching, and we are still listening for that "Ho-Ho-Ho."
