Protein powders are no doubt the most popular and widely used sports nutrition supplements around. Nearly everyone is using them, from youth athletes to their moms and the gym goers in between. Protein powders are not just for active individuals and competitive athletes anymore.
However, as we've covered on the blog previously, you have to watch out for the amino-spiked protein and avoid them like the plague they are. Further, as whey protein has expanded beyond the tastes of the bodybuilding cultures, there's now more picky and concerned markets to consider. That's why we're bringing you one of the newest and highest quality proteins available — and it's even safe for drug-tested professional athletes!
Catalyst Grass Fed Whey by Strength.com is a premium whey protein blend that's not only good for you, but also safe for you too!
- Grass-fed Whey Protein Blend
- 24g Protein / serving
- NSF Certified
- No unnecessary fillers, artificial sweeteners, colors
- No rBGH bovine growth hormones
- No banned substances

Our Catalyst Grass Fed Whey REVIEW
Grass Fed Whey Ingredients
Strength.com has crafted a fairly straightforward whey protein product that's free of a lot of the junk fillers and artificial nonsense you'll find in some other protein powders on the market. It should be after all, as it's NSF certified for Sport, so drug-tested athletes (and picky consumers) can take it without fear!
Protein Blend
Catalyst Grass Fed Whey is a protein blend of Grass-fed Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) and Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC), respectively. Seeing WPI first tells us it's contributing the majority of the mass to this blend, which is a good thing for those of you who may be a little lactose-sensitive.
WPI is the premier form of whey protein as it must contain a minimum of 90% protein by mass, while WPC can contain anywhere from 35-80% protein by mass with the remaining portion consisting of fats and carbs (i.e. lactose).[1,2]
High WPI Content!
"The Catalyst 100% Grass Fed Whey, derived from hormone-free milk from grass-fed cows, is not only a cleaner source than many other proteins on the market, it also features a 3:1 whey isolate to concentrate ratio which speaks to the high quality of the product. This is a formula our entire team wants to put into their bodies."
Interestingly, grass fed beef (and likely milk) has healthier fatty acid profiles, but since this is such a low-fat protein powder, we won't get much benefit out of that side of things.
Strength.com's Grass Fed Whey contains no artificial sweeteners. Instead of sucralose or Ace-K, they've gone the more natural route and included Dextrose (pure glucose) and stevia leaf extract.
The good news is that there's only 3g carbohydrates in each serving of chocolate, 2g of which are sugar (and some of that comes naturally from cocoa), we know that it's 2g or less of dextrose – nearly nothing, but this is definitely helping with the taste over other natural products!
Most of you are familiar with dextrose, but for those of you who aren't, dextrose is a monosaccharide (simple sugar) naturally derived (often from corn, but it's in a ton of things). Dextrose is the same thing as straight d-glucose, which is exactly what your body converts other carbs into anyway. Compared to regular table sugar (sucrose), dextrose/glucose is about 70% as sweet.
The second sweetener included is the non-nutritive (zero-cal) sweetener, stevia.[3] It's composed of purified steviol glycosides, which are extracted Stevia rebaudiana. Stevia is a natural sugar that contains 10.77% fiber and contains significant amounts of potassium, zinc, magnesium and vitamin B3.[4]
The Rest
There's not much else left to cover with this whey protein product save a few other flavoring agents and thickener. Those are: Cocoa Bean Powder, Natural Flavors, Xanthan Gum.
It's what's inside that counts!
We spoke with the JP Cargnelli, Director of Strength.com regarding the product, its design, and a few other tidbits about Catalyst, and here's what he had to say:
"Our motto is simple: "What counts is on the inside". This goes from the overarching concept of strength – wherever and however you show it – to our products. We spend our efforts where it counts, on the formulas that any level athlete, coach or trainer can trust and use with confidence, without compromising their sport. This is especially true with our Grass Fed Whey. Protein is an essential supplement in many people's daily routines and consumed regularly. That's why creating a clean formula with no added flavors or coloring was so important.
Our Grass Fed Whey isn't only good for you, it tastes great as well. It's 100% naturally sweetened with stevia, and while our Belgian Chocolate is the most popular flavor, we can't say there's a bad one in the line-up."
— JP Cargnelli, Strength.com Director
NSF Certified for Sport!
Catalyst Grass Fed Whey is in elite company as one of the few NSF Certified for Sport proteins on the market that's safe for everyone to use, even drug-tested athletes like professional hockey and basketball players. We spoke to JP about the NSF Certification as well since it's one of the primary draws of the product:
"Getting NSF Certification was very important to us. It speaks to the quality of the product and the dedication of the team working behind it. As many people know, becoming NSF Certified can be a long and challenging process, but we are committed on making sure the essential product in our lineup is tested and proven to be safe for all. Now, any athletes of all caliber can use this product confidently as it's officially NSF Certified for Sport with no rBGH bovine growth hormones, no banned substances, unlisted ingredients, or harmful impurities.
We've even seen orders come through from the Oklahoma City Thunder, Columbus Blue Jackets, and other collegiate powerhouses! The positive feedback has been overwhelming, and we can't wait for what is ahead."
Each scoop of Catalyst Grass Fed Whey protein weighs in between 30.6 – 30.85g depending on the flavor and contains the following calorie and macronutrients:
- Calories: 110
- Protein: 24g
- Carbs: 3g (1-2g sugar, depending on flavor – )
- Fats: 0.5g
Flavors Available
Strength.com has launched three of the most popular flavors with their Grass Fed Whey including:
- Belgian Chocolate
- Natural Vanilla
- West Coast Strawberry
The protein powder market is incredibly saturated and with that, it takes a certain special "something" to really stand out. Catalyst Grass Fed Whey accomplishes that and more with its quality ingredients list and NSF Certification. If you're a competitive athlete or someone looking for premium quality, this is one powder you'll need to check out.

No red jumpsuit here – Britney's little sis performs a country cover of the bubblegum hit
Jamie Lynn Spears, previously seen singing about wine on older sister Britney's "Chillin' With You," is currently touring to support her burgeoning country career.
And at a stop in Decatur, Ga., on Dec. 5, Spears the Younger gave the audience a little Throwback Thursday action.
In the middle of performing her song "Ms. Mississippi," Spears seamlessly transitioned into her sister's 2000 hit "Oops! I Did It Again." Released when Jamie Lynn was just 8, the original was a landmark for Max Martin's synth-driven production, but it turns out the song works just as well as an acoustic track.
As anyone who's screamed a Britney song at the top of their lungs on a Friday night can attest, nailing the vocal melodies is harder than it looks. Props to Jamie Lynn for attempting it without the aid of one of her sister's famous backing tracks.
Watch the video above, and then read what Britney had to say about Jamie Lynn's engagement.

Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) has launched a diesel powered Ses'fikile taxi with the promise of more power, lower fuel consumption and emissions and low noise levels. The new derivative will be known as the Toyota Ses'fikile 2.5 D-4D and is already available at Toyota dealers nationwide. The new model is powered by Toyota's tried and trusted 2.5 turbo diesel engine, which utilises common rail injection and a turbo charger to deliver 75 kW at 3 600 rpm. More impressively the new addition to the Ses'fikile range offers 260 Nm of torque in a wide band between 1 600 rpm and 2 400 rpm.
"Diesel power is highly popular amongst long range taxi operators thanks to the fuel consumption benefits of modern diesel engines. We believe that city bound taxi operators will also benefit from the option of a diesel engine in the Ses'fikile, not only for the fuel consumption benefit, but more importantly from this engine's ample low down torque that will ease the hours of stop-start city driving," says Andrew Kirby, Senior Vice President: Sales and Marketing at Toyota South Africa Motors.
According to Kirby the new Ses'fikile 2.5 D-4D, with its low fuel consumption figure will make immediate business sense to taxi operators. He added that Toyota South Africa Motors will further support taxi operators by not only offering the standard 3 year / 100 000 km warranty, but also by reducing the cost of service parts and components by an average of 23% to further reduce taxi owners' operational costs.
Toyota has combined the introduction of the new Ses'fikile 2.5 D-4D with a range wide upgrade to the Ses'fikile range. The upgrade is most visible on the exterior, where the Ses'fikile's lights, front bumper and grille have been changed to create a more modern look. Inside the vehicle, both the 2.7 litre petrol and new 2.5 D-4D versions now offers dual front airbags as standard equipment. The Ses'fikile 2.5 D-4D will offer the same level of specification as its petrol powered sibling. The comprehensive list of specifications include electric power steering, a tilt adjustable steering column, ABS with Brake Assist (BAS), a full complement of seat belts for all 15 occupants, central locking and an emergency escape roof hatch.
Other specifications include the compulsory reflective highlights, a fire extinguisher, driver guard and all legally required decals. As further benefit all Ses'fikile models are equipped with the ToyotaCare Microdot Anti-theft system, which allows authorities to identify the vehicle's original engine number to better track down stolen vehicles or parts.
The Ses'fikile 2.5 D-4D is equipped with an independent double wishbone front suspension, stabiliser bar and a rigid rear axle. The vehicle is 5 380 mm long and can tow a braked trailer weighing up to 1.4 tons.

Mirepoix is less than an hour from Carcassonne and is a wonderful medieval town with one of the finest arcaded markets squares you will see in all France. The square is lined with medieval half-timbered houses and many of the beam ends are decorated with sculptured heads and hideous monsters. The little houses are gaily painted and on a Monday the whole town becomes a huge market, one of the best in Occitanie.
This one-day tour will take you to visit Mirepoix to discover its history and architecture including a visit to the cathedral of St-Maurice which boasts the second widest Gothic arch in Europe. Mirepoix was a very important base for the Cathars in the 13th century and many parfaits were housed here. This tour is an ideal way to walk in the footsteps of these people and learn about their beliefs and how they lived.
On a Mondays we will linger here to enjoy the busy market and have lunch and on other days we will head to the village of Montségur to eat.
In the afternoon we take the short drive to Château de Montségur which sits on a 'pog' or limestone peak that resembles a closed fist raised 1200 meters above you. This is the last stronghold of the Cathars and where the Albigensian crusade came to an end in 1244 when the last Cathars were burnt at the stake.
Your guide will accompany you to the castle and explain the history of the Albigensians and the crusade against them which began in 1208 and after visiting the castle you have the option to visit the excellent museum in the village before returning to Carcassonne.
Price €135 per person
What's includes:
- Guided walking tour of Mirepoix
- Entrance fee and guided walking tour of Château de Montségur
- Delicious lunch with wine
- Pickup and transport
Private tours range between €550 and €1000 depending on the number of people in your group.

On this week's show talk about Troy's recent visit to Colonial Williamsburg VA.
God and Guns Podcast Episode 125 - VA is for Gunners Intro: Welcome back to Episode 125 of the God and Guns Podcast. I'm your host, Troy. (Doug) And I'm your other host, Doug. (Troy) We use this podcast to talk about God, guns, and the responsible Christian gun owners interests. On this week's show talk about Troy's recent visit to VA.
Bandwidth Sponsor: Firearms Radio Network
This Weeks God and Gun activities: Doug: God: Been doing my daily devotional, Piper and sportsman daily devotional Daily Bible Verse. At cracker barrel after church on Sunday and saw a guy open carrying. gave him one of our cards. Got several people signed up on DVOR this week. Got my firearms radio network shirt. Guns: EDC. Been chasing deer round this week. No luck so far. Scored some 22 ammo on Tuesday.
Troy: God: Daily Devotional My Utmost for his Highest by Oswald Chambers, Wednesday night youth service. 57 kids, 10 adults. Guns: Conceal Carry or open Carry everyday. The Axelson Tactical combat 5.56 arrived the day before we left for VA. Taking it to the range tomorrow. Comedy Corner: Two blondes walk beside each other down the street. One of them sees a broken piece of mirror on the ground, grabs it, looks at it and says, "This girl looks so familiar, but I can't remember where I know her from." The other girl grabs it from her hand, takes a look at it, and says, "It's me you idiot!"
A church's bell ringer passed away. The church posted the job opening in the local newspaper's classified ads and a man came in with no arms wanting the job. The clergy weren't sure he could do it, but he convinced them to let him try it. They climbed the bell tower and the guy ran toward the bell and hit it with his head, producing a beautiful melody. They gave him the job on the spot. The next day he went to ring the bell, tripped, bounced off the bell and fell to the sidewalk below. Two priests were walking past. One asked, "Do you know this guy?" The other responded, "No, but his face rings a bell."
The next day, the dead man's twin brother came in for the again vacant bell ringer position. He also had no arms. The clergy led him up to the bell tower, where he ran at the bell, tripped and fell to the sidewalk below. The same two priests walked up. The first asked, "Do you know him?" The second responded, "No, but he's a dead ringer for his brother."
Reviews Feedbacka
Thomas M. Buckley Hi Troy & Doug. Doug I've got a holster I will gift to you - if you want it. I had ordered a VP9 (Troy, you may remember my past email below. We have emailed several times, but I don't think I've ever corresponded with Doug), but before it came in I ran into a mint used flat dark earth Glock 19 with night sights & picked it up for a steal - so I am out of the VP9 business for now. I had already purchased a used (but never actually used) high quality Stealth Gear AIWB for the VP9 from a buddy, obviously I don't need it now. Instead of selling it I'd rather support you guys as y'all work every week to provide us with great God-centered gun related content that I find value in. Doug, just send me your address and I will ship it to you. Photo is attached to this email.
God bless! Tom

Bible Verse
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. Psalm 139:13-16 (ESV)

NRA Armed Citizen Senior Citizen Uses Gun to Turn Tables During Home Invasion
CARTER COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) - A senior citizen turned the tables during a home invasion. The elderly man woke up during a nap about 10 a.m. Tuesday to find a burglar ransacking his house. When Robert Hamm got up to investigate what was causing a loud noise, he saw a man going through the drawers in one of his bedrooms. "I saw the man with his arms loaded up with my tools," Hamm said. The burglar, who'd climbed in through the bedroom window, apparently didn't know or care that the 75-year-old was home. Hamm, who keeps his gun handy, wasn't about to let the crook escape with his stuff. "I just pointed the gun at him and told him I'd blow him in two if he moved," Hamm said, "and I made him lay down here in the middle of the floor." Hamm called 911 and held him at gunpoint until police showed up at his home along Blue Hall Road in Olive Hill. "I wanted to shoot him really bad," Hamm said. "I really wanted to shoot him." Hamm says he's known the suspect, Larry Lee Thompson, since he was born, and that he has a reputation for this sort of thing. The suspect's sister, Loretta Boggs, lives up the road. She was devastated her brother forced her neighbor to this extreme. "It hurts me deeply," Boggs said. "It hurts the whole family. We love him, but what can we do?" She says he's been living recently in Richmond, Kentucky. Thompson was taken into custody by the Carter County Sheriff's Department.

Coco Montoya (born Henry Montoya, October 2, 1951, Santa Monica, California) is an American blues guitarist and singer and former member of John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. Montoya's career began in the mid 1970s when Albert Collins asked him to join his band as drummer. Collins took Montoya under his wing and taught him his "icy hot" guitar style. The two remained friends even after Montoya left Collins' band. In the early 1980s John Mayall heard Montoya playing guitar in a Los Angeles bar. Soon after Mayall asked Montoya to join the newly reformed Bluesbreakers. He remained a member of the band for 10 years. In 1995 he appeared with the Cate Brothers for the resumption of their recording career on their release, Radioland. Since that same year, Montoya has recorded several solo albums. In 2002, he featured on the Bo Diddley tribute album Hey Bo Diddley – A Tribute!, performing the song "Pills." See for more.

There is a possible u-turn in the future for the policies surrounding the universal credit benefits system, which has begun edging closer as more Tory backbenchers have started to voice their concerns with the system.
Many have been left arguing against the current decision to have all new claimants waiting for six-weeks before receiving any benefits from their universal credit, and are asking for the time to be reduced to a month to ensure that many are left in a situation which doesn't leave them falling into debt. Although Theresa May has continued to insist that the current track is a system that works, many backbench Conservative members have voiced concerns about the effect that this wait may have on those claiming the vital benefit scheme.
This comes after a decision was made last week to scrap the charges on a telephone helpline for the service after Jeremy Corbyn began an uproar surrounding it, and the situation has continued to spiral as MP's continue to find issue with the service. No decision has been made as of yet to change the waiting period, although the DWP has continued to insist that it has no imminent plans to amend the system.
The work and pensions committee are hoping to publish a report this week that will supply cross-party suggestions for how universal credit could be improved, as it has been found that many of the worries about the future rollout focus on the initial six-week wait for payment that many critics and charities have suggested could cause serious issues, as it has so far made many families build up rent arrears and other debts while waiting for the vital money.
The DWP says that people can be helped by receiving advance payments from them, yet have faced increased pressure on dropping the waiting time to four weeks, as many MP's including those representing the Conservatives have argued against the current payment period. Many say that these payments should match those you would receive when you first start a job and receive your first salary.
Criticism on the policy has come not only from within Parliament, but also from the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, who stated that many families feared universal credit because they think that the system seems to assume that everyone applying has a nest egg to tide them over, which many of those that are applying for support will not have.
Labour has helped to lead the opposition to the system, after Jeremy Corbyn's initial issue with claimants being charged 55p a minute when they call a universal credit helpline on a mobile phone – an issue that has since been scrapped as they have changed the fee to completely free. This was also followed by a major Commons defeat on the government, as an opposition day motion that was calling for a pause in the rollout was won by those opposing the rollout, with the move being passed 229 to zero – after government whips ordered all Tory MP's to abstain from voting.
The Shadow pensions secretary, Debbie Abrahams, said that Labour was supporting the idea of universal credit as a useful method to help those struggling with money and those who needed help to get back into work. However, they also want more changes to the support that is being offered, as they not only want the reduction in waiting time but other policy changes including alternative pay arrangements so that claimants can have a situation that suits their needs better.

Our Mission Across the USA – 7.30.2013Help Us Awaken the World with Your Donations
We woke up knowing the time was winding down for us to remain in Arkansas. Pam had warned us several times that when it was time to leave, we would feel a sense of sorrow. It was true. This underrated, "backwards perceived" mid-America state had become a part of us. We loved the people, the silence, the wildlife, the majestic trees, and the abundance of crystals. Who wouldn't?
But the realities of life forced the situation sooner than we would have liked, as we were running out of funds and we knew we had to return to pay the next month's bills. The morning began with my site going down and a chat session with Hostgator. We tried our best to make the most of our day, making a nice breakfast in the hotel room, stopping by Dee and Gee's for one last perusal of crystals, and then driving around to look at more properties at the north side of the lake. We decided to finally check out Hot Springs, AR and the northern coast of the lake driving down route 270, south on the 7, and beyond. We ended up literally slamming on the breaks when we saw huge chunks of crystals up along the edge of the road. The humidity was high and the sun was brutally hot but the hunt was on! We couldn't stop ourselves from viewing all the different pieces scattered along this abandoned piece of property. It was clear that there must have been a vein there, for they were scattered everywhere. We found a few that wanted to come home with us and pleased with our finds, we swiftly jumped into the car completely drenched. Thank God for air conditioning!
As were driving our way to Arkansas' capital, Keytak my Guide from The Sirian High Council had another profound message to relay. We noticed later that there was a common string of reminders. It is as follows:
"Pay attention to the whispering of wind in your ear. There will be other messages missed if you don't! This is a land of magic, a land of opportunity. The premise and concept of the Declaration of Independence was based truly on the vibration of this land – a land of the free and the brave. All of the elements are fully alive, fully committed, fully in balance, and this is part of where you are assisting other kingdoms. You are bringing much needed balance back because it has been so negatively effected by all the technologies of the dark. Through mutual cooperation with the Energetic Force and other people that were called to the same sort of mission, we are all working as one to bring back the harmony of the wind and earth, the earth and the water, the earth and the fire. It's the reason we feel like we are home again because we are storage units that house e a vibrational memory of what it was like. We make note of it and compare it to that we which we have stored in our memory vibrationally. We are able to bring it in balance because we know what was in balance at one time, and we can do it powerfully since it is the two of us. We are meshing the masculine and feminine – the passive and the aggressive – the love and the hate – the dark and the light – the good and the bad – this is one of the purposes of this mission is to neutralize these clouds that sit above the planet. Envision this each time you do an activation, and see that the vortexes are actually piercing holes in these dark dense clouds. Eliminate them through the piecing of the clouds.
Your task is not just about extracting these hovering clouds of darkness but you are obliterating them. They are dissipating and any blackness and darkness is being drawn into the vortex. But the actual vortex you have initiated is immediately piercing those dark walls. You are immediately eliminating historical, stagnant years and years and years of darkness. All of the emotional upheaval has just been sitting there and stuck. So this is what you are doing. I thank you as do all galactic brothers and sisters immensely for all the work and commitment you are doing. We honor you for what is perceived to be a sacrifice, however we would like you to review what you consider to be struggle and the stress you are feeling. The only reason you are feeling this stress is because you are questioning whether your back is watched. It's very true isn't it? We want you to go within and truly ask, feel, and acknowledge once and for all that you are protected and all that is dear to you is protected. That that is part of the agreement – it is a given – a part of the equation – part of the success of this mission – one of the ingredients that is necessary for this mission to be successful. Whatever you are getting irritated and uptight about is an old story, an old paradigm, a lack of balance, and also expected since you are blowing off that which you are extracting. Look at the stressful situation you are feeling, such as the dogs maybe not being taken care of, or in danger, and truly look at this for what it is. Being in purity and staying in the light is crucial even though he understands we are not accustomed to this sort of schedule. But once we do accept all is well, that we do not expect something bad to happen to us, or we don't need to prepare for what is around the corner our lives will be simpler, quieter, much more tranquil, more peaceful. We need to remember that we are Guardians. He wishes this for us, that we can trust and allow ourselves to be loved because the love is the protection. The love infiltrates everything. The love is the Light and the Light is you. And if you are the Light, you already know all is well. It's a full cycle, one you must recognize within yourself. This is all I have to say."
That is all he had to say? I think it was more than enough for us to meditate on, recognizing the prompting of living in the now, trusting completely, and knowing we and our dogs are safe.
Hot Springs had some incredible buildings and historical landmarks, which of course included constant signs and billboards referencing Bill Clinton. There was unfortunately a very dark feeling about this turn of the 19th century city, with an enormous prison or rehabilitation center centrally located. The main challenge was finding a place to park that was shady enough to cover our car and our dogs while we nervously grabbed a bite to eat for lunch. We chose a bar that was conveniently and directly located across from the parking lot, sitting in front of the big bay window . We caught each other eyeing the movement of the sun, and grateful that we had captured a spot with lots of shade provided by an ancient oak tree. Steve immediately finished eating and returned to the car while I walked up the main drag to scope out their visitors information center to check on pricing of local land and homes. Oddly enough to me, much of what they promoted involved Clinton's childhood home, etc.
As I continued to walk up the one-way street, I noticed several people carrying huge water bottles over to publicly available springs. There were charming old 1920's spring houses up and down the main drag, so I knew there was some sort of spring in the general vacinity. But this spring had been fed into a steel platform with numerous on and off valves for drinking water. The sign promoted the healing waters so I decided to take advantage of it. It was actually available to everyone for free! Nice!
We drove through the entire city, north, south, east, and west to view the older Victorian structures. I am a lover of anything Victorian (just can't help it with a name like Alexandra), so we stopped and took pictures of cool buildings and beautiful parks often described in the old Victorian novels. I could imagine myself walking along boardwalk with a long bustled gown, fanning myself to discontent. I was not used to this heat!
After touring the city, we drove east again, knowing this was our last jaunt through Arkansas and its surrounding towns. We returned back to the Crystal Inn for our last night in the Crystal City. We repacked everything for a better use of the real estate in our little Honda SUV and hit the sack.

Coronation Tea Laindon Park School 1953

Hi J.P. I'm a bit confused 'cos if memory serves, you are about the same age as me and I was at LH. in 1953, so how come you were still at "Donaldson's" for the Coronation bash? I can still picture her banging a large frying pan with a wooden spoon whenever the air raid siren from Laindon Fire Station sounded.
On a different note, do you recall your grandmother giving me sixpence to sing "You are my Sunshine" for her? J.B.By Mr.J.W.Birch (25/11/2018)
Back again! Gray matter almost expired. Might start using that as an alias: Graham Atter! John Langton, Christine Thompson, Terry Rattenbury, David Parmenter, Linda Brazier, Pat Mayhew, Kelvin/Melvin Higgs/Hughes? Also the surname Maitland comes to mind. Lastly Polly George, whose dad was a builder that she used to "help" during the school holidays. This would explain her abnormal strength and the fact that she was able to beat up most of the boys in the school.By Donald Joy (21/11/2016)
I remember that the room for the Coronation Tea Party is indeed the one used by Mr Stone in Autumn 1957. I was with that class until the Christmas. In the New Year I was allocated another classroom and a new teacher, Mrs E Hodgson. Some of the boys in that class were Keith English, Robert McMasters, Barry Keeble and Brian Stepney. Some of the girls were Jacqui Sheppard, Janet Smithers, Carol Hudson and Jill Strutt. There was a brilliant visit to the Natural History Museum at the end of the year when we were more interested in the trays of birds eggs than any of the other exhibits. The classroom that term was opposite the new canteen steps and was more sunny than the one used by Mr Stone. Some great lessons in music given by Mr Rand and some eye candy provided by Miss Davies.By Richard Haines (18/11/2016)
Nice one Richard, yet more names of the day. Maybe a few more to jog a few more memories: Russell Stubbs, Denise Allen, Marilyn Bradfield, Linda Gilbert, Raymond Broom, Peter Stringer, whose mother had some connection to the school, I remember her playing piano at the school play and other occasions. Another name I've never forgotten because of the trauma she caused me and others is Maureen Hanson. She liked to play "kiss chase" by grabbing a boy and planting a big wet horrible kiss upon him and then using him as an aide in capturing her next victim. And so it went on until every boy in the school playground had been subjected to her womanly attentions. Yeuk ! More names to follow when the grey matter permits.By Donald Joy (18/11/2016)
Back again! The more I peruse these photos the more puzzled I become. As previously mentioned classes numbered 40 plus pupils at this time and to my mind there doesn't appear to be a large number of children in the 2 photos. Also the age ranges seem quite varied. So my question is: were these just a select few or were there other parties for other groups?
Considering the total number of pupils who attended this school at this time, the number of children shown (of vastly differing ages) makes no sense to me. Am I missing something?By Donald Joy (17/11/2016)
I seem to recall another teacher who went on to the missing list after suffering a nervous breakdown, Mr Simpson. Now teachers were either pretty soft back then or, we children must have been quite a handful. I feel sure it was the former as I seem to recall us pupils being particularly well behaved???
A tad miffed to not get a mention from Richard Haines but it was a long time ago and there were a lot of names to remember, as Richard said, classes were numbered in the mid 40s. Strangely enough I do recall rather a lot of those names even after all this time. However I don't remember the room shown in these photos and just look at that floor. Were we really subjected to that?By Donald Joy (15/11/2016)
Just looked on Google Maps to see Laindon Park school and got quite a shock. This bears very little resemblance to the school I went to, but that was a long, long time ago. I then surfed the surrounding area and got even more of a surprise. Yes the graveyard can be seen to be well tended as was not the case throughout my younger years. No sign of the church hall or the vergers bungalow and it appears that many other bungalows that used to be in Pound Lane have gone and been replaced by quite a large building. Old peoples' home maybe? I really shouldn't have been so surprised at the changes. When I think back to all of the many changes I witnessed as Laindon lost its identity and became just another part of the behemoth that is Basildon.By Donald Joy (14/11/2016)
I do not remember this room as a canteen or hall. In my time,( I started in 1955), the front part of it was the library with a classroom behind. One rather sad memory of this room is of a teacher, I think it was Miss Elliott, having a nervous break down and wrecking the library.By Paul Stickland (13/11/2016)
Hi John Peters, thanks for confirming the room. It is definitely the same one I am thinking of. As you say, there were windows looking over the school playing field on the western wall. On the northern wall were more windows, all the same style, looking towards the A127 direction down Church Road. When I was in that room our teacher was Mr Stone. It needed to be a big room too, most classes were about 46 in number as we were baby boomers born in 1947. The boys I can remember were Brian Archer, Andy Darroch, Arnold Frost, Kenny Prince, Ronny Cannings, Philip Trew and Howard Davies. Some of the girls were Gillian Bull, Susan Gregory, Pamela Lane, Valerie Newman and Prudence Wakefield.
Mr Stone had a huge flat map of the world produced in linen, hanging near the blackboard area. We used to marvel at the number of pink coloured countries of the British Empire and the hugeness of the USSR in comparison. Happy Days.By Richard Haines (12/11/2016)
I've just been looking at Google Street View. Some further things to report, the canteen, built in 1956 has gone, to be replaced by a car park. The windows I thought looked over Church Road alas, seem to be part of a store cupboard or similar which has narrow slit windows, these look original so I am definitely wrong there. The french windows, looking out to the school field are new and agreeing with what John Peters says I can't recall them being there back in the day. However, here it stands, our school John and Valerie, we were lucky to have gone to study there, so long ago best wishes to you both.By Richard Haines (12/11/2016)
Richard, The Coronation tea party was held in the room facing west over the school field. So far as I can recall, it was the largest room in the school and, in my days, was used not only as a classroom (I spent my final year in there with Mr. Alexander Blackford) but also as the school hall. I believe that it may have been used for Assembly, Open Days and any other special occasions. The windows in photo 2 face west and I guess they are much the same now as they were when the school was built. I did notice, however, when looking on Google Maps recently, that there are now some French/Patio doors leading out of the room on to the playground. I am pretty sure they weren't there in the 1940's.By John Peters (11/11/2016)
Also I wonder which year the 'new' school hall was built, the one at higher level which was used for school dinners. It was there in Autumn 1957 but I guess it was quite new then. A fascinating little school, I'm glad I got my one year there 1957-1958 before going to LHR.By Richard Haines (10/11/2016)
In 1966 the old canteen which had opened in 1941, was replaced with a new canteen-cum-hall with an adjoining kitchen and classroom. In the same year, the school took over the former schoolteacher's house as additional accommodation.By Nina Humphrey(née Burton) (10/11/2016)
Nina, are you sure you don't mean 1956. That would tie in with my memory of it looking new in 1957. Either way the school was brilliant, all the children were friendly and the teachers I had, Mr Stone and Mrs Hodgson were absolutely first class. My only regret is not being good enough to get my 11 plus there and I recall only about 5 children actually made it in 1958. The main memory for me as an ex-Barking boy was feeling so safe in that cosy school atmosphere.By Richard Haines (10/11/2016)
I found the information on SEAX. Just re-checked and it was indeed 1956 when the old hall was replaced with new canteen-cum-hall, but the school did took over the former schoolteacher's house in 1966. Thanks for noticing that Richard.By Nina Humphrey(née Burton) (10/11/2016)
One other thing I would like to know is which room this photograph was taken in. The big blackboard area and the row of windows down one side looks a bit like Mr Stone's room which also had windows looking out down towards Church Road and the Arterial Road direction. The green Eastern National bus used to wait for us in the afternoon after school, taking us back to the High Road.By Richard Haines (09/11/2016)
I was in Susan Gregory's class in Autumn 1957. Our teacher was Mr Stone, a brilliant person. In this 1953 photo she would have been about 5. Also I remember Mrs Peters who used to be on dinner time duties at Laindon Park School.By Richard Haines (07/11/2016)
Also, like Valerie Newman I can't see Susan Gregory in the photograph, can we be more specific about which one she is meant to be please?By Richard Haines (07/11/2016)
Hello again Val & Richard. Yes, I think I may have done my best to try and confuse you. I have just remembered that Sheila also had a sister Carol and I believe it is Carol sitting next to Sheila and not Susan who, as you say, was much younger. Sheila is the 8th person down on the right-hand side and I think it must be Carol just beyond her at the far end of the table. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. If Susan was at the party, I guess she would have been sitting on the other table with the younger pupils.
I am pleased, Richard, that you remember my mother. She loved working at the school amongst the children, but she eventually had to give it up due to ill-health.By John Peters (07/11/2016)
Glad you liked the additional photograph of the party, Val. I don't know if you realise it, but Sheila and Susan Gregory's family are featured elsewhere on this site. You can find the page easily by searching the surname.
Thanks for your comments, Donald. As I mentioned in my earlier blurb, I am the person on the left-hand side, 5th from the front of photo 2. The person 7th from the front, leaning forward, is my elder brother Roy Peters – not Tony Breedon. Are you pictured in either of the photos?By John Peters (07/11/2016)
Photo 1 right side of table, 3rd person from front. I recognise the face but am never going to be able to put a name to her, helpful wasn't it ?
Photo 2 left side of table, 5 back from front, John ? 7th from front, leaning forward Tony Breedon, brother to June ? Depending on time of year I would have been 5 or 6 years old, which would explain my uncertainty.By Donald Joy (06/11/2016)
It was great to see the two photos together. It really broadened the party. You were quite right, I can't recognise anyone on the table. I think I would have known Susan Gregory if I could have seen her, if she was at the front of the table. We were in the same class. I think I was 5 when the party happened. It was lovely times.By Val Scurlock (05/11/2016)
I was very pleasantly surprised to find the photograph of the Coronation Tea Party on the Laindon History site. Like you, Val, I too have a photograph taken at the same Tea Party, but mine is of the table on the other side of the room and taken in the opposite direction. I have often wondered who might have a photo of the other table – and now I know! Although I personally have very little recollection of the party, it seems from the two photos that one table was reserved for the existing pupils of the school (those in your photo) and the other for the former pupils (those in my photo). At the time of the Coronation, I was in the 2nd year at the Romford Technical School.
In my photo (attached) we can see on the left-hand side working backwards from the front (with apologies to anyone if I have got the names wrong!) – John(?) Dodge, Peter(?) Hutchins, Brian Fynn, Geoffrey Fynn, me (leaning backwards), John Comber and Roy Peters (my brother who I think must have been in the 5th year at Palmers by this time). A bit further back is Joan Comber and Mrs. Moore from Basildon Road who you have already mentioned. At the far end of the table on the right-hand side are Sheila and Susan Gregory, who I believe still live in that part of Essex. I cannot put names to the rest of the party-goers on the right-hand side, so if anyone can add a few names, this would be really great.
These were happy days, largely due to the leadership of Jack Wilson and his staff. My mother was a Mid-day Assistant at the school for a number of years and very much enjoyed trying to keep order in the playground!
I hope this further photograph will bring back some more happy memories.

I am the fair haired boy I think 9 back on the left. In front of me with curly hair on top and short sides is William Bullock. 3 back on the left is Alan Starling.By John Mason (01/09/2015)
Where are you and the other two in the photo? I'm useless with names. There is a tiny bit of my forehead in sight on the left hand side of that table, I think the tenth one back, not that you can see much. My brother is just behind me, David. I think the lady with the paper hat on was Mrs Moore helping. She used to live in a bungalow a couple of bungalows back in Basildon Road.By Val Scurlock née Newman (26/08/2015)
Lovely to see this picture from when I was 7 years old. Also recognise William Bullock and Alan Starling. Happy days.By John Mason (23/08/2015)

Players unaware of Horn but like style
Zam Fredrick first heard Sunday that Darrin Horn was likely to be his next coach. It was also the first time Fredrick had heard of Horn.
"I had a couple phone calls, and they asked, 'Do you know anything about Darrin Horn?' I was like, 'Who is that?' " said Fredrick, a junior.
But he knew about Horn's style of play at Western Kentucky because Fredrick subscribes to a college hoops TV package. So judging from that — and from a brief meeting Tuesday — Fredrick was optimistic.
"From what I've seen, I like the pace, I like the style," Fredrick said. "I'm just ready to see us doing those things."
That seemed to sum up the Gamecocks players' feelings about their new coach: unfamiliar with him personally but happy with what they heard about the style of play he employs.
Horn plans to bring an up-tempo approach from Western Kentucky, where his teams shot a lot of 3-pointers, trapped on defense and generally ran all over the floor. During a brief talk with his new team Tuesday, Horn repeated his mantra of "playing 188 feet."
That was how the Gamecocks started this past season — using a small but quick lineup to light up overmatched opponents. But when they ran into trouble against better teams, the pace was slowed.
But while previous coach Dave Odom was tinkering to find the right style, Horn's philosophy is unlikely to change.
"It fits me. It fits the team," USC point guard Devan Downey said. "Because we're not the biggest, and we're not the strongest. But when you get guys running up and down the court, that can make up for some of the size."
Downey was an exception among players; he had heard of Horn from former AAU teammates a couple months ago. He never thought Horn would replace Odom but figured it would be someone like him.
"Guys were talking about this coach, that coach. I was always thinking in my head we were gonna get a successful mid-major coach who's going to come build a foundation," Downey said. "The big names they were throwing out, I didn't think we were going to get those guys who had already built their foundation."
The players were invited to Tuesday's news conference, and, at one point, Horn asked them to stand so fans could give them an ovation. Freshman forward Mike Holmes appreciated something else Horn said at the podium.
"The (thing that impressed me the most) was he said he wanted to be here," Holmes said. "It ain't about the money or anything like that."
Otherwise, players were reserving judgment. Fredrick said he was eager to get in the gym and see Horn coach. Downey said the players would get a better feel for Horn once "everything's settled" in a few weeks or more.
Sophomore forward Dominique Archie, another key player, was asked how much was going to change with the program now that Horn was on board.
"Enough," Archie said. "Enough is going to change for us to maybe play in the (NCAA) tournament next year."

Your Knitting Can Save Lives In The Most Unexpected Ways.
The Penguin Foundation is calling on all knitters around the world to help the penguins in rehab. They are constantly getting caught in the oil spills and need tiny sweaters for the penguins as soon as possible. The sweaters prevent the penguins from preening themselves and ingesting the toxic oil. The pattern and address information is here.
Here are some of the sweaters the Penguin Foundation has received so far.

Sweaters don't have to be fancy, just made of wool and the fit is most important.

Here's a video from NBC news reporting the penguin sweater drive back in 2011. They are always getting caught in oil, so they always need more sweaters. Any extra will be used for educational purposes and fundraising.

Carrier® registration is just a click away, Click here, through Modern Air Solutions, your local Carrier Expert or call (800) CARRIER within 90 days of installation and add an additional five years. For complete, detailed information on your specific products warranty covered visit the Carrier® product page or contact Modern Air Solutions. Ask us how to keep your labor warranty active up to 10 years.
As an owner, you know that Carrier® comfort comes from more than our heating and cooling systems. It's in the knowing that Carrier® stands behind their products with industry-leading warranties, and right by you, for each heat wave, cold snap and everything in between.
As an installer of Carrier® products Modern Air Solutions knows Carrier will stand behind their products 100%..
Regular maintenance is recommended to keep your warranty valid. No matter how energy-efficient your air conditioner was when it was installed, it can lose efficiency if not properly maintained. The good news is, it isn't hard, time-consuming or expensive to do the kind of upkeep that can help your unit last for years:
- Change your air filters regularly with Modern Air, an ac direct filter dealer. A clogged or improperly installed air filter makes your system work harder. So, if you forget to change your filters, you might notice you're paying more for air conditioning that you're not enjoying nearly as much.
- Be sure not to block your floor, wall or ceiling vents. When drapes, furniture, toys or anything else blocks the vents, it will restrict the airflow—and decrease the system's efficiency and life span.
- Check your outside condensing unit periodically to make sure it isn't covered up or clogged with leaves or debris. Give it space—at least a foot—by cutting back shrubs or tall grass. Air needs to flow in through the sides to cool the coil.
- Check the drain system to make sure it isn't clogged. Because your air conditioner removes humidity from your home during the cooling season, you should notice water trickling from the condensate drain of the indoor unit. Keep in mind that the drainage will be limited if you live in a very dry environment.
- Don't try to turn your home into an icebox. You shouldn't run your system in cooling mode when outdoor temperatures are lower than 55°F/12.78°C unless your outdoor unit is modified to handle cooling in colder weather.
- Have a Carrier® expert clean your indoor coil and replace your filters routinely. If you notice longer operating cycles and reduced energy efficiency, the coil could be to blame.
- Check for water in the base of your outdoor unit. It likely means the support base has settled or shifted since installation and is no longer level. If that's the case, be sure to re-level it to assure proper drainage. Also check for standing water or ice under the unit in and arrange for it to drain away.
- Consider having your ducts sealed or insulated. Air leaks can lead to wasted energy and an overworked air conditioner.
Think of it this way: By investing a little time and money in keeping your unit operating at peak performance, you stand to save a lot in system repair and energy bills. Of course, if you're not up to the task, your local Carrier® expert can take care of all the above, and much more.
Modern Air Solutions offers a complete range of comfort solutions. Our service department is open 24 hours for all your Heating & Cooling emergencies. Our office is open Monday – Friday 7:00am to 4:00pm.

Who needs health & safety?
The simple flow chart on the right is one way of answering this question.
Companies with 5 or more employees are legally obliged to ensure they comply with health and safety regulation. The next section of this page has 10 questions aimed at the Company Board. And rather than yes or no questions these are designed to get you thinking about the way you manage health and safety today. The following section of this page deals specifically with the prosecution risk for Board Members and ends with the 10 questions you need to answer.
If a board member decides they are not comfortable with the answers provided then you probably need a professional health and safety consultant to carry out an audit and assessment of your company's health and safety arrangements.
Self-employed people who do not employ anybody themselves, and whose work does not put themselves or anybody else at risk, do not need to worry about health and safety legislation. As of October 1st 2015 health and safety legislation no longer applies to them.
For self-employed people or companies who employ less than 5 people the legislation calls for a risk assessment to be carried out. If you are an individuals or work for a company that falls under this group, you should download a risk assessment fact sheet and a risk assessment template, and use these to ensure you fully comply with health and safety legislation with no additional outside support.
The Company Board is responsible for Health and Safety
If a health and safety offence is committed then individual board members (as well as the organisation) can be prosecuted under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
Recent case law has confirmed that directors cannot avoid a charge of neglect by arranging their organisation's business so as to leave them ignorant of circumstances which would trigger their obligation to address health and safety breaches.
Those found guilty are liable for fines and, in some cases, imprisonment. In addition, the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 empowers the court to disqualify an individual convicted of an offence in connection with the management of a company. Including health and safety offences. This power is exercised at the discretion of the court; it requires no additional investigation or evidence.
Individual directors are also potentially liable for other related offences, such as the common law offence of gross negligence manslaughter. Under the common law, gross negligence manslaughter is proved when individual officers of a company (directors or business owners) by their own grossly negligent behaviour cause death. This offence is punishable by a maximum of life imprisonment.
10 questions for Your Company Board of Directors
The following ten questions will help a company board understand how well they are managing health and safety today:
- How do you demonstrate the board's commitment to health and safety?
- What do you do to ensure appropriate board level review of health and safety?
- What have you done to ensure your organisation, at all levels including the board, receives competent health and safety advice?
- How are you ensuring all staff – including the board – are sufficiently trained and competent in their health and safety responsibilities?
- How confident are you that your workforce, particularly safety representatives, are consulted properly on health and safety matters, and that their concerns are reaching the appropriate level including, as necessary, the board?
- What systems are in place to ensure your organisation's risks are assessed, and that sensible control measures are established and maintained?
- How well do you know what is happening on the ground, and what audits or assessments are undertaken to inform you about what your organisation and contractors actually do?
- What information does the board receive regularly about health and safety, e.g. performance data and reports on injuries and work related ill health?
- What targets have you set to improve health and safety and do you benchmark your performance against others in your sector or beyond?
- Where changes in working arrangements have significant implications for health and safety, how are these brought to the attention of the board?
British Sugar case study
- The chief executive assigning health and safety responsibilities to all directors
- Monthly reports on health and safety going to the board
- More effective working partnerships with employees, trade unions and others
- Overseeing an audited behavioural change programme
- Publishing annual health and safety targets and initiatives to meet them
- 43% drop in time lost to injuries over two years;
- 63% reduction in major health and safety issues in one year;
- Much greater understanding among directors of health and safety risks

If the Rockies trade Jeremy Guthrie — and if they don't believe Guillermo Moscoso can fill a spot in the rotation — they might be forced to look south down I-25 to Triple-A Colorado Springs for Guthrie's replacement.
Lefty Drew Pomeranz's raw numbers are solid: 3.06 ERA over seven starts with 34 strikeouts vs. only 13 walks. But reports are that Pomeranz has not been particularly sharp and his mechanics are still not where the Rockies want them to be. Also, Pomeranz has thrown just 35 innings in seven starts, and the Rockies desperately need more innings from their starters.
