Should you consume Raw Edible Mushrooms ?
For flavor, perhaps. For nutritional or health benefits, NO !
Should you consume raw edible mushrooms and/or mushroom mycelium? Is it always safe to do so ?
- No, absolutely not! Raw mushrooms are largely indigestible because of their tough cell walls, mainly composed of chitin. Eating raw mushrooms can provide flavor, but not nutritional or health benefits. In some cases, eating raw mushrooms could be dangerous.
- Dr. Andrew Weil advises, in agreement with other experts, that mushrooms must be cooked! "Mushrooms have very tough cell walls and are essentially indigestible if you don't cook them. Thoroughly heating them releases the nutrients they contain, including protein, B vitamins, and minerals, as well as a wide range of novel compounds not found in other foods," (Prevention, Feb 1, 2013).
- Raw mushrooms and raw mycelium may pose health hazards from harmful pathogens and heat-sensitive toxins—potentially causing red blood cell damage, gastrointestinal irritation and allergic reactions, such as skin rashes.
How can one safely use mushrooms?
- By consuming mushrooms or mushroom products that have been cooked, or heat-treated.
- Proper heat treatment denatures toxins, softens fungal tissues, and allows our natural digestive enzymes to access and utilize the inherent benefits of both culinary mushrooms and mushroom supplements: Edible mushrooms should be tenderized by heating to at least 140 ˚F — more preferably over 180˚F — most preferably above 200 ˚F to release their nutrients and render them digestible and safe.
*Two exceptions: Truffles are eaten for flavor, not for nutritional value, and are typically consumed raw or lightly cooked. Mycelium must be neutralized by heat—or, alternatively by solvents such as alcohol—but in any case, mycelium should not be consumed raw. Physicians and medical experts do not recommend ingesting raw, living mycelium.
Thank you for your continued support on the path to help people and planet.
To our health,
PS: Mushrooms are not only the foods that should be cooked. Most people know that raw green potatoes and rhubarb are dangerous if consumed raw. So cooking helps detoxify them. Of course, many vegetables are perfectly safe to consume raw, provided that they are grown free of pathogens and toxins. Mushrooms have unique chemistries that have to be carefully considered. Overall, cooking them makes them safer.

For some years, Safari has been my default browser. I generally prefer its choices in framing and ergonomics and shortcuts over all others. But I've had to stop using it.
In recent releases, Safari has been re-architected, with some of the work farmed out to a thing called "WebProcess". This doesn't seem to be working out that well. Specifically, I note that:
Switching from tab to tab is sluggish, and when the system gets overloaded, you get a lot of gratuitous repaints.
The WebProcess and Safari processes feature prominently in readouts of what's consuming the system's CPU and memory.
When you have a few dozen tabs open, some of them for days, and some of them being full of dynamic code, the whole system gets increasingly slow and unstable.
It turns out that for me, it's convenient to run three browsers: One logged into the Googleplex, one for news and banking and Google+, and one for personal Gmail, which isn't the same account as for Google+; anyone who knows what "AFYD" stands for will understand why.
They used to be Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, respectively. Now they're Chrome Canary, Chrome, and Firefox. My whole system is unsubtly snappier and less fragile. And I'm not even using a Flash blocker; I still don't like Flash, it's just that both Chrome and Firefox seem less traumatized by it.
I still like Safari in principle and suspect that they'll fix it up before too long so I can start using it again.

Apps For Your Domain? Additional First Year Depreciation? Always Follow Your Dreams?
From: Jérôme (Sep 18 2011, at 10:49)
Instead of using two versions of Chrome (Stable and Canary) and Firefox, I would only use Chrome Beta with multiple profiles, which you can enable on about:flags.
It works amazingly well: I now synchronize two profiles with 2 personal Gmail accounts and one profile for work, synced with a Google Apps for Business account. I can run all three profiles at the same time, and I can rely on Chrome to keep all my bookmarks, history, apps, extensions, preferences, search engine and open tabs sync for each account, across all my devices!
From: Mike Loukides (Sep 18 2011, at 11:06)
Interesting--I do more or less the same thing, except that I've noticed the problems with Firefox more than Safari. (I don't use Safari much.) Firefox tends to accumulate the bulk of my tabs, and when the machine bogs down, killing it is usually the fix. This suggests it might be an OS X problem, as much as a browser problem.
Canary might be worth a try. Though I worry that it will look too similar to Chrome; when using multiple browsers, it helps to have visual clues about which is which.

The Apps-For-Your-Domain Connector is experimental, unsupported code intended to enable the Google Search Appliance to search and serve documents and other content stored in a Google Apps-For-Your-Domain, and made available through GData APIs.
From: Pierre Phaneuf (Sep 18 2011, at 11:54)
Chrome profiles are quite handy, letting me run multiple instances of the browser with different credentials, at once. I believe Firefox has an equivalent feature as well.
From: David Singer (Sep 18 2011, at 13:00)
As a fellow AFYD user, I understand *that* you need a browser for Google+ and a separate and different browser for AFYD -- but I don't understand *why*. Fixing it should be a SMOP, right?
From: Osvaldo Doederlein (Sep 18 2011, at 14:23)
The bloat and sluggishness from many tabs was also a problem in Firefox, which they finally fixed in the latest releases with Compartments: the Javascript heap is still unified across all tabs and domains, but objects from each domain are allocated in subpartitions of the heap that can be garbage-collected independently. Cross-domain object references are allowed, subject to security checks and a little overhead for the GC (like remsets). It's a very interesting model because cross-domain Javascript calls pay no IPC overhead, still you have the same isolation and security advantages of domain- or tab-specific processes. Mozilla is also working in a Chrome-like, process-per-tab model, but I guess this will be optional since the memory overhead is really large for people who keep tons of tabs open.

You can use a Gmail/Google+ account and a Google Apps Mail account at the same time (in the same browser), however you now need to enable "multiple sign-in" - follow these steps in both your Gmail account and Google Apps account: http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=181599&hl=en-GB

It must be some kind of bug though. I'm running on a 2010 Mac Mini with 4GB of ram, currently with about 12 apps open. combined with flash, Safari, and Safari web content, it doesn't use much more than 20% CPU and 300MB ram. I'm on Lion.
I HAVE had the tab reloading thing happen though. Then safari goes crazy, takes up loads of RAM etc. But it's only once or twice. It's gotta be some kind of bug, because it rarely happens to me.
From: Steve (Sep 19 2011, at 11:52)
The AFYD issue bugs me too; I wound up using "Fake" ( http://www.fakeapp.com ) to create a standalone browser app just for Google+. You can configure it to not share cookies with Safari - and voila, it becomes its own standalone multiwindow browser that just happens to go to plus.google.com . I liked this so much I've made other standalone apps for Google Groups and a few other things where switching accounts was becoming a pain.
From: Grover (Sep 19 2011, at 12:30)
I hope you're right. I've used Safari almost since it's initial release, and always come back to it whenever I've dabbled elsewhere. But it's becoming genuinely unusable, and that makes me genuinely sad.
From: John (Sep 19 2011, at 12:59)
If you enable the Debug menu on Safari, you can then uncheck the "Use Multi-process Windows" option, which goes back to the old WebProcess-less behaviour.
The only thing that I've noticed different, besides the better performance, is that the pinch-to-zoom gestures go back to the old method.
From: John (Sep 19 2011, at 13:27)
The command line would be:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugNewWindowsUseSingleProcessWebKit 1
From: Steve (Sep 19 2011, at 13:38)
Sorry! Earlier I said "Fake" when I meant "Fluid." Fluid is a nice app based on WebKit for making site-specific browsers. That's what I use to make a special Google+ app.
("Fake" is also very useful, by the same guy, but it's an Automator-like tool for building automation into a browser session.)
From: John Noble (Sep 19 2011, at 16:06)
Ah jeez I'll be angry if I find out this is why my system has been running like a dog recently.
It's a last year's model Mac Mini, so not sluggish. Everything's been fine for ages and now I've been starting to wonder whether one of my hard drives isn't on the blink.
I'll quit Safari tonight and use something else exclusively. Honestly, if that's the issue, oohhh ... madness ... grrr. ;-)
From: Greg (Sep 19 2011, at 17:25)
Sometimes I thought I was the only nut using Safari with a few dozen tabs in several windows open and trying to leave it open for days at a time. I have yet to find a better organizing system for coming back to tabs I need to see again. It's like having a bunch of clutter on your desk but knowing exactly where everything is.
Anyway, Safari has been unstable used this way for ages. It's gotten different in the latest release. With this release plus now 8GB of RAM (had to see if that would help, yes, I got it pretty much mainly for Safari!) Safari doesn't crash/freeze when left open for days. It does become slow switching tabs at times and will also do those repaints as described actually fairly quickly. I find it difficult to drag myself away from using Safari though. I've been using Click to Flash/Click to Plugin for a while.
Today Firefox crashed after being open for some days the same way. Given that I often have that sitting open as well with a number of tabs, I wonder if that is more often the culprit for the sluggishness, not sure. Safari, at this point, I can't remember the last time I quit. Sometimes I try to cut some tabs then quit, then start again and reopen all tabs, just as a sort of maintenance. But I think at this point I've had Safari open for a couple weeks or more. That's pretty good. Never would have worked before.
Anyway, a rambling way of saying that at least to me some things apparently did improve in Safari even as others have gotten more annoying.
From: Pierre B (Sep 19 2011, at 18:07)
I think there might be folks that like me, changed their default browser to Chrome after a Lion update because of the bugginess of Safari.
From: Michael (Sep 19 2011, at 20:07)
I remember when not all power users had switched to Firefox and some still used IE. This is the situation today with Mac users and Safari/Chrome. The only people who still use Safari instead of Chrome is those who don't know any better or their thinking is too clouded by their love for all things Apple.
From: Ron Adair (Sep 19 2011, at 21:02)
I too hope you're right about this getting fixed soon. I've been around since well before the Safari days. I've been a devoted Safari user since day one, and have constantly touted it to friends and family as the best browser out there, bar none.
Well, that changed with 5.1. Oh, man—this is the worst browser experience I can remember having for the longest time. Too-many-to-count force quits, inspector panel not staying docked, annoying message about needing to reload all the pages if I reload one, lagging galore, and even the annoying absence of the spinny ball of death during a lag session.
I'm not sure what Apple did different, but it seems 100% all-natural wrong to me.
@John: I'm not seeing "Use Multi-process Windows" option in my "Develop" window. Can you give further instruction on where it's found?
From: Tony Fisk (Sep 19 2011, at 21:41)
*Not* knowing what 'AFYD' meant, I went and ogled it, to be told it stood for 'Angling For Youth Development'.

Yes! Thanks John, the new text zooming has been a pain in my arse. I can pinch-zoom again and the page stays centered, the text gets bigger in predictable increments. finally!

Safari is slower for me too, but I'm sticking with it as my main browser until the others come up with their own Activity Window.
From: Paul Foster (Sep 20 2011, at 08:20)
From Apple.com (footnotes, my own)
"Advanced Page Caching*
Safari stores the webpages you visit in the cache**, which can speed up access to pages you've already viewed. Safari can add additional types of webpages to the cache, so that they load fast when you return to them."
* 8GB RAM recommended for optimal performance.
** The 'cache' is stored in the Random Access Memory (RAM) on your computer, and since our range of Macbook Airs and MacBook Pro's ship with either 2 or 4MB as standard, you'll need to buy and install more RAM as soon as you get your laptop out of it's box. Safari keeps hold of as much RAM as it can get all the time it is running, and the more tabs you keep open the less likely you'll be able to get on with the other important stuff you need to do, since you won't have enough available RAM to do it with. If you are running other apps like those in our iLife and iWork range, as well as many other apps available in the App Store, or indeed our more professional applications - Yes we're fully aware we cocked up Final Cut, thank you - you are likely to find that Safari does slow things down bit, and when it fails in it's attempt to grab more RAM as you attempt to load up your ex's album of wedding photos on Facebook to see if she has put on more weight, it will crash, and you may need to restart your computer. This was purely an oversight on our part, since all our developers have plenty of RAM installed in their computers, and nobody thought to test this new feature on our range of standard specification products. However, what with all the recent boardroom changes and the like, please note, since it is taking us rather a long time to realise the amount of hassle this oversight is causing our ever-growing customer base, it is our duty to point out that other browsers are available. In fact many diehard Safari fans are indeed switching over to Chrome in an effort to regain control of their RAM.
From: John (Sep 20 2011, at 09:42)
@Ron: "I'm not seeing "Use Multi-process Windows" option in my "Develop" window. Can you give further instruction on where it's found?"
Yeah, it's not under the Develop menu. Some tool or another that I was trying out had an "Enable debug menu" in safari option, which adds in a debug menu with all sorts of arcane options.
Above, I posted the command line that I think should disable the multi-process windows. I think (but don't know for sure) that you can enable the debug menu by the two following command lines:
defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1
From: Matt Kulka (Sep 20 2011, at 16:30)
Yep. Ditto here. Loyal Safari user since 1.0. Recently I started using Chrome at work. I couldn't make it through a full day without Safari either stalling, loading blank pages or in general behaving poorly.
I plead with Apple to fix the memory issues that plague 5.1. If this is the cost of separating rendering into distinct processes, it's NOT worth it.
From: Jim Leff (Sep 21 2011, at 12:16)
John, can I presume that this would be reversed by swapping in a "0" for the "1"?
Also, has anyone out there tried this direct command line approach (i.e. not via the mysterious debug menu pref) successfully?
From: John (Sep 19 2011, at 13:27)
The command line would be:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugNewWindowsUseSingleProcessWebKit 1

Top Marques Monaco 16th - 19th April 2015
Last year I had the pleasure of attending the Top Marques car show, it is the only live supercar show in the world. It takes place every April in the prestigious Principality of Monaco and has grown to showcase all aspects of a luxury lifestyle. The show is held at the Grimaldi Forum, with the added benefit of the Esplanade to display the super boats with the opportunity to test drive them in the waters of Monaco.I was given the task to photograph H.S.H Prince Albert II on the opening day during his tour of the show. He took a lot of time to learn more about the supercars new to the market, the McLaren 650S, the Quant and the Lamborghini Aventador to name a few.The show started in 2004 with each year improving on the last, with that in mind if you are wanting to soak up some sun and culture, this one is for you. Follow this linkto get your tickets. I can recommend this Classic and Supercar Show.
Below are a selection of photographs I took at the event.

Wilton Classic and Supercar Show 6th and 7th June 2015
The Wilton classic and supercar show is a day out for all the family and is held in the grounds of Lord Pembrokes estate, this two day event showcases super and classic cars, with live shows in the arena. This is a good fun day with a huge variety of cars to see, including the head to head display, last year it was the Mercedes SLS.
I particularly liked the supercar display where the owners drove their cars in a procession for all to admire, this is well worth seeing. I even got to be photographed with my favourite car, the Ferrari 250 GTO.This link is to their website.
A selection of Ferraris on display outside Wilton House, the home of the car show.
Thanks for reading, I'll keep you updated with other car show later in the year to visit.More news next month about where my classic and supercar photography exhibition will be appearing next.
Bye for now

In any business' life, in order for it to maintain some species of momentum, it has to grow and evolve in some way over the course of its duration. So, last night, in a pub (of course!) near Euston Station in London, Simon Kurt Unsworth and I (with a little help from Greg James) took the first steps towards helping Spectral Press do just that. Therefore I am pleased to announce a new line of Spectral books, beginning with:
Signature Editions are single-author story collections, and World Fantasy Award-nominated author Simon Kurt Unsworth will be the one to launch the new line. The edition will contain tales culled from across the writer's career, the selection representing the full spectrum of his published output so far. An original story or two, specifically written for this collection, will also be included, plus the stories will be illustrated with exquisite line drawings, by an artist yet to be decided.
The books themselves will be limited edition A5 hardbacks, signed and illustrated, bound in faux-leather and blocked in red foil. There will be no dustjacket, however the front of the book will be adorned with a very simple graphic, featuring the author's initials, the words 'SIGNATURE EDITION' and below that the volume number. The title page will be illustrated and feature the full title of the collection, whatever the author decides that is going to be. Retail price yet to be decided, but will be forthcoming in the not-too-distanmt future.
The projected date of publication will be MARCH 2013. Keep checking back for more details of this project as we get nearer to the launch date!!

SPDT is an approved & proven tumor destruction therapy!
Integrative Cancer Therapy Centers (ICTC) exclusively offers Sono-Photo Dynamic Therapy in Mexico, Europe, and South America Centers.
ICTC are the only centers in Europe and the Middle East that incorporate the use of Sono-Photo Dynamic Therapy which is non-toxic, safe, effective and proven tumor destruction therapy.
The principle of SPDT was first proposed over 100 years ago. It was not until the late 1990s that it became what it is today; a safe, effective, non invasive and non-toxic way to treat cancer.
What is Sono PhotoDynamic Therapy?
SPDT is systemic photo dynamic therapy. Photodynamic means activated by photons (light). The substance that gets activated is called a sensitizer (SPS). We use SPDT both systemically and semi-locally. Systemically means it is used to treat the whole body, and semi-locally means it is used to treat a fairly large local area of the body. This is in contrast to surgery and radiation therapies, which are both by necessity, local therapies. The surgeon removes a single tumor or "lump", and the radiation therapist treats a small area of the body. These therapies are too damaging for extensive use.
Sono Dynamic Therapy (SDT) is sono-dynamic therapy. It is similar to SPDT except that the sensitizer is activated by sound rather than by light. SDT is a semi-local therapy.
We use both SPDT and SDT together in our treatment centers for maximum results.
Why Use Two Therapies?
Because the two together work better than either alone. Our general strategy is to intensively treat the areas where cancer is present or is likely to be present with the semi-local SPDT and SDT, and the whole body with less intense systemic SPDT. "If the cancer can be anywhere, we have to treat everywhere". SDT should do best with deeper tumors, because the body transmits sound better than light. Further, there is research evidence that both therapies used together are more effective than light alone.
How Does It Work?
Photo Dynamic therapy (PDT) uses non-toxic photo-sensitizers and harmless visible light in combination with oxygen to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species that kill malignant cells by apoptosis and/or necrosis, shut down the tumor microvasculature and stimulate the host immune system. In contrast to surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy that are mostly immunosuppressive, PDT causes acute inflammation, expression of heat-shock proteins, invasion and infiltration of the tumor by leukocytes, and might increase the presentation of tumor-derived antigens to T cells.
PDT has been used therapeutically for about 100 years, there are 8,600 + research articles about it.
What Does SPDT / SDT Do?
These therapies kill cancer. It is as simple as that. They are an extremely effective treatment for any type of cancer and are safe, approved and effective. That is why we choose to use them in all our centers.
How do you know that SPDT/SDT kills cancer?
There is a range of evidence:
- Independent evidence, such as improved scans, improved or normalized tumor marker values, disappearance of detectable cancer, such as hard nodules (cancer) on the prostate. Photodynamic diagnosis, where relevant can provide particularly impressive evidence. It may show tumors before treatment, and then their progressive disappearance as treatment progresses.
- Subjective evidence, such as improved health, less pain, better breathing, better sleep, longer than expected freedom from evidence of cancer.
How Good is SPDT / SDT Therapy?
In SPDT/SDT there is no evidence of damage to long term users of the SPDT/SDT. Unlike, chemotherapy and radiation where too much toxicity or too much damage are the barriers.
How Much Treatment Will I need?
Assuming it can be done, best strategy is to continue treatment until there is no evidence of cancer. It is a good idea to follow this program, no matter what stage the cancer, and no matter what therapies are chosen.
What is the advantages of using SPDT/SDT?
Because it kills cancer without longer term damage. This makes it highly acceptable to patients, and it can be repeated as necessary.
Conventional cancer therapies may well be effective, but treatment may be limited by long term damage, and the therapy may ultimately fail.
Surgery - is often very effective, but cannot be repeated very often. Each time the patient loses healthy tissue.
Radiation therapy - is damaging, and patients have a maximum lifetime dose.
Chemotherapy - the body usually builds upe dose. resistance to chemotherapy. Different drugs can be used, usually with increasing toxicity and decreasing tolerance by both the body and the patient. Even if initially effective, chemotherapy may (after a while) cease to be effective.
With SPDT/SDT however, there is no evidence of long term damage, and no evidence that it loses effectiveness. As far as we know, it can be repeated as necessary to treat existing cancer, and to treat any recurrences.
When does SPDT/SDT fail?
- Factors relating to the patient.
- Waiting too long before getting SPDT/SDT therapy, often reaching the stage where complete recovery is impossible It is important to avoid wasting time with treatments which are not likely to be effective.
- Not getting enough SPDT/SDT therapy, after it has shown evidence of benefit.
- Being in too poor general health.
- Having no great interest in surviving the disease.
- Having medical problems that preclude the use of SPDT/SDT. For example, cancer invading a large blood vessel.
- Too demoralized from the side effects of previous treatment, and from gloomy prognoses, causing the patient to give up hope.
FAQ's About SPDT
Who developed these therapies?
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been known for about a century. Systemic PDT (SPDT) required the development of a new class of photosensitizer, typically derivatives of chlorin e6. These have only been available for about 15 years. Our main sensitizer was developed by Dr Don Burke and colleagues in Boston , USA .
How important is diagnosis of the type of cancer?
SPDT/SDT is not very dependent on knowledge of the type of cancer. What our doctors do need to know is the size and approximate location of the primary tumor (if still present), and to have a general indication of where metastases may be. This information is usually available from scans, from photodynamic diagnosis, and from our doctor's knowledge of typical cancer migration pathways.
Conventional therapies need to know the above and a lot more. Chemotherapy and hormone therapy are dependent on accurate diagnosis of the type of cancer. Radiation therapy and surgery are both dependent on an accurate knowledge of where the tumors are.
When is it best to get these therapies?
The earlier the better. To maximize the probability of success, it is best to do SPDT/SDT shortly after diagnosis and (usually) surgery, no matter whether the surgery was "successful" or not.
What should I do before starting SPDT/SDT?
Everything you can to improve your general health and to build up a positive attitude and determination to overcome the disease.
Will there be side effects?
Except for late stage patients, the only likely side effect during treatment is tiredness. Make sure that you get enough rest.
Will there be side benefits?
Patients can experience improved energy, improved appetite, weight gain, easier breathing and less pain. Patients sometimes report benefits that are not likely to be related to reduction in the tumor load.
How safe is the sensitizer?
Our main sensitizer is a tin complex of chlorophyllin, and it has impeccable safety qualifications. Over the last 30 years, tin complexes of chlorophyllin have been used in quantities up to about 2 grams to treat new born babies with elevated bilirubin levels. It is very safe.
How does the sensitizer selectively bind to cancer cells?
Different sensitizers may have different mechanisms of action. Cancer cells have an anaerobic (no oxygen) metabolism and produce lactate. Healthy cells have an aerobic (oxygen) mechanism. The sensitizer molecule with its positive charge binds to the negatively charged lactate in the cancer cell. It is less tightly held by healthy cells.
What is the mechanism of action in killing the cancer?
It is the same for both SPDT and SDT. Light or sound activation raises the energy level of the sensitizer, producing an "activated "molecule. This is turn reacts with nearby oxygen to form "free radical"oxygen. This is a super powerful oxidant, so powerful that it is quite unstable and it reacts with the nearest oxidizable material - the organic matter in the cancer cell. This breaks down the organic matter, destroying the cells structure, and killing or damaging the cell. The free radical oxygen has a very small radius of action, so it only damages the cells that it is in - the cancer cells.
Are there new developments in progress?<
Absolutely. We the Integrative Cancer Therapy team are always looking for new developments and new technologies to improve our treatments and find the best way possible to combat cancer and give our patients a fighting chance to live.

A 27-year-old Sylmar man was arraigned Thursday on charges that he robbed a Comerica Bank in Burbank in early August.
Investigators arrested Isaac Carlos Montes on Tuesday on suspicion of robbery based on what officials said was evidence gathered from the scene. Authorities say Montes walked into the bank on North San Fernando Boulevard at 3:10 p.m. on Aug. 2 and presented a demand note to a bank teller.
He allegedly escaped in an unknown direction with $4,770 in cash.
Montes was considered armed and dangerous, said Laura Eimiller, a spokeswoman for the FBI.
Montes is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
FOR THE RECORD: This corrects an earlier version that had the suspect's name as Carlos Montes.

This work forms part of a collection of pictures we have for sale by Yorkshire artist E.F. Hearfield. The collection includes a number of artist portraits of figures connected with York Art Society in the 1970s to 1990s - which have something of the flavour of the intimate portrait sketches by David Hockney and the Yorkshire world of playwright Alan Bennett. The collection also comprises skilful ink and was drawings of engaging views around the picturesque, medieval city of York, from glimpses of York Minster to barges moored on the River Ouse.

Arno's Naked Condition
For over 45 years, Finnish Photographer Arno Rafael Minkkinen has expressed the human condition through portraits of his own naked self. His most recent exhibition, Floating in the Air, can now be seen at WILLAS Contemporary Gallery in Oslo.
Working as an ad-copywriter in the late Mad Men era of the '70s, on the Mad Men street of Madison Avenue in New York, Finnish immigrant Arno fell into photography by chance as he stumbled over inspiration through his own work.
As a young copywriter—aspiring to be a novelist—working with Minolta Cameras, he wrote the sentence What happens inside your mind, happens inside the camera. This sentence not only altered his path in the search for his own voice, but as Arno asserted in an interview with Lens Culture; «I believed in that». Through this belief, his fascination for photography eventually became his profession.
Arno's work has been widely acclaimed by both the photographic and the art world alike. For over 45 years, Arno has focused his work on the nude self-portrait as a primary vehicle for expressing the human condition. Set in urban and natural landscapes, his black and white photographs are based on the reality before the lens and, by using himself, he aims to capture the beauty of being part of something bigger and more permanent than one's own naked self.
His work can be found in over 75 museums and institutional collections, and the photographer was awarded the Finnish State Art Prize in Photography in 2006, the Lucie Award for Outstanding Achievement in Fine Art in 2013, and a John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in 2015.
Floating in the Air can be seen at WILLAS Contemporary Gallery until the end of May.

Duration: 04:19
Date: August 29, 2010
I been up for four days gettin' money both ways
Dirty and clean, I could use a glass of cold Spades
Rolexes, chauffeurs, and low fades,
I keep thinking, how young can you die from old age?
They always tell me nobody's workin' as hard as you
And even though I laugh it off, man, it's probably true
'Cause while my closest friends out there partying
I'm just here making all of the music that they party to
But party on, party on, all night nigga
I got these new rappers nervous, prom night nigga
I've grown tired of these fuckin' grown man liars
Storytellers, they ain't even need a campfire
Uh, but I just want to tell the truth
Before one of the haters load up a couple shells and shoot
The shit feel like when Fredro Starr was in Sunset Park
Stuntin' hard in his yellow Goose
Yeah, but I'm a ma'fuckin' missed target
But a target nonetheless and I just started
Was that directed at moi? It can't be
They must be talking to themselves, hoes hands free
Yeah, and I'm just filling up this daily planner
Gettin' busy 'cause I'm a star, no spangled banner
Jealous dudes get to talkin' in they music
And I just say I wrote it for your girlfriends, Kelsey Grammar
Yeah, that's what life becomes when you're doing you
Welcome to Hollywood, don't let this town ruin you,
And if you pillow talking with the women that are screwin' you
Just know that she gon' tell another nigga when she through wit you
Don't get impatient when it takes too long
Drink it all even when it tastes too strong
Yeah, I gotta feel alive, even if it kills me
I promise to always give you me, the real me
Who would have thought
I'd be caught in this life?
Let's celebrate with a toast
And get lost in tonight
And make it all light up
(Hey, Guru, tell hom' to go to open that Ace right there),
Wait until the sun goes down
We gon' make this bitch light up
Even when the sun goes down
I'm gon' make this go
Owww, hoes turn they heads like, owls
I'm the man of the hour
Triple entendre, don't even ask me how
Con Edison flow, I'm connected to a higher power
Bright life'd make your whole city light up
A trillion-watt light bulb, when I'm in the nightclub
I just landed in that in that G450
Caught the Mayweather fight, 'cause the satellite was crispy
(Uh) Y'all can miss me with that money talk
The smart money's on Hov, fuck what the dummies talk
I don't do too much blogging
I just run the town, I don't do too much jogging
(Unh) I ain't got a scar yet
'Cause you fuckin' around with me and my dogs is far-fetched
Drake, here is how they gon' come at you
Will silly raps for you tryin' to distract you
In disguise, in the form of a favor
The Barzini me, watch for the traitors
(Unh) I done seen it all, done it all
That's why none of these dumb-dumb could dun him off
The summer's ours, the winter too
Top down in the winter, that's what winners do
And to these niggas I'm like Windows 7
You let 'em tell it, they swear that they invented you
And since no good deed go unpunished
I'm not as cool with niggas as I once was
I once was, cool as the Fonz was
But these bright lights turned me to a monster
Sorry, mama, I promised it wouldn't change me
But I would've went insane had I remained the same me
Fuck niggas, bitches too
All I got is this money, this'll do
Who would have thought
I'd be caught in this life?
Let's celebrate with a toast
And get lost in tonight
And make it all light up
Wait until the sun goes down
Wait until the sun goes down
I'm gon' make this go

Sorry to have disappeared on you folks! I keep doing that, don't I? I'm going to have to get a regular weekly-or-so thing going again . . . .
Anyway, the good news is that I am better at sewing than I am blogging, and work on my Destination Happy and Healthy collection has been coming along well.
You'll recall that I wanted to make a slightly-slouchy turtleneck using this vintage pattern and some black cotton knit I got from SCRAP. What I was going for was a top with lower armholes, a looser fit, and a softer, less constricting neck than the base-layer-type turtlenecks I see in stores.
I wasn't sure how much ease I'd want in this, so I tried to err on the side of more–about 5″. That was pretty close to perfect; I just increased the seam allowance a bit on the side seams to get it just the way I wanted it. I also shortened the top and raised the shoulders so that the seams weren't halfway down my upper arms. And the collar piece was just ridiculously long–something like 13″, I guess for those women with "swan-like necks"?–so I shortened it, folded it in half, and sewed both edges to the neck of the top.
I've also finished my black jumper!
My goal with this was to make a plain black dress that I could wear with a blouse or turtleneck underneath (and maybe leggings also) and accessorize with my VAST collection of hefty "statement" necklaces (see a small portion of said collection in the top photo). Which I seriously love but never get to wear because I don't have anything plain enough to serve as a good background for them.
I've had the lightweight, stretchy black denim for this in my stash for a couple of years now, but I've been putting off making it, I think because I was afraid it wouldn't work.
But we have a success!
I really like it! I was going for "Art Teacher" and hoping to avoid "Nun" and "Dystopian YA Novel" and I think I've done that. (I have some experience with nuns and they don't generally go for statement necklaces. I just hope I don't look like an extra from "The Handmaid's Tale.")
I was surprised when I first took the pattern out of the envelope–I had already cut it and had totally forgotten. I suspect that project was a wadder; this dress is fairly fitted and I had cut out a 20, which would have been too small. This time, I graded up to a 22 at the bust and hips, 24 at the waist, and the fit was right on.
This is a really simple style, but it took some time to complete because the denim frays like you wouldn't believe, and I had to finish all those long, long seam allowances. I didn't want to use my usual French seams because of the bulk of the denim, so I chose two different finishes: for the princess seams front and back, I pressed the seams open, folded the seam allowances under, and stitched them down about 1/4″ from both sides of the seams. I also changed the back zipper from a lapped to a centered style so that I could approximate the look of the topstitching on the back seam as well.
I inserted pockets of black rayon-poly into the side seams (YAY POCKETS), then bound the seam allowances with some bias fabric strips I had cut the wrong size some time ago and never used.
Somewhere in the midst of all this, my sister and I signed up for an "Intro to Beading" class at the new Makerspace that opened up here recently. And I made this:
I was thinking of that black jumper as I was making it, and then I remembered that I still had some of that fantastically-soft purple knit in the stash. So obviously I had to make a purple turtleneck to go with my black dress and purple glass necklace.
AND, as if that wasn't enough, I've also taken my first stab at making leggings!
Which . . . didn't work out so well. I need to take them in at the waist and, I suspect, add some elastic to the yoga waistband, so I've set them aside for now. I've still got about 2 yards each of the black and the purple knits, and definitely want to turn those into leggings once I have a pattern that works for me. I'm going to have SO MANY cozy warm layers to wear this winter! I'm really pleased with how my fall sewing plans are progressing. I've now got 6 wearable items done!
Next up may be the vest, now that I have the turtleneck I wanted to wear under it.
I hope that your creativity is flowing in dramatic (and well-fitting) directions.
Talk to you soon.

The fiat ponzi is such because there is no underlying collateral backing the monetary system which would then back the financial system. The underlying asset, which is gold, is not up for subjugation, for it has not been used as trade for bonds since Nixon relegated only dollars to pay for debt. The fiat ponzi started with Delano Roosevelt, who negotiated that Americans need not rely on constitutionally backed monie. In order for the US monetary and financial system to be appropriately called a ponzi, the underlying asset would be up for grabs. It is not, because no one even knows if there is gold to be had.
The gold vaults of Ft. Knox and the New York Federal Reserve were last audited under Eisenhower. There is a great possibility that there is no gold in the vaults, and that means there is no underlying asset that supports the US monetary and financial systems. Once again, there must be an underlying asset for a ponzi to be such. That is why the current system is better named a fiat ponzi.

text: The Marionette Featured is a piece called "The Marionette." The subject, an antique marionette, stands upright and paralleled by his shadow, as if preparing for the performance curtain to lift. Utilized even as early as the 16th century, the crafting and animating of marionettes has served as a reflection of man's fascination with re-creating himself (1). In modernity, one could argue that this drive finds expression in robotics, but has deep roots in puppetry. While in China this practice was highly ceremonial and performed as an offering, in Europe, marionettes served as entertainment for the different classes. Essentially, the marionette was a tool to share and circulate ideas and stories among the masses. "The Marionette" is an interestingly static piece. The subject and composition do not evoke movement, but appear to exist within a breath of time standing still – almost outside of time, timeless. There is a magic to the art of storytelling that endures and traverses artistic disciplines.In a world where contemporary society seems to be obsessed with progress and newness, it's intriguing to observe the perpetual draw back to the vintage. Truly circular -- in a sense, it is unsurprising that we cannot move forward without an adequate connection to (and understanding of) the past. With my collodion wet-plate photography, I continue the storytelling tradition by honoring classic techniques while operating in the digital age. I am motivated by the extraordinary elements of both. Follow me on Instagram (@collodion101) and check out thomasallcroftgibson.com for more. Enjoy!1.

Hermès has used travel as a metaphor right from the start of the Maison. The company was founded by Thierry Hermès in 1837, as a saddle-making workshop in Paris. From the start, the goal for his company was to achieve supremacy in terms of quality. Thierry's products were destined for the horse-drawn carriages used by the noble classes of Europe. The company logo, not surprisingly, is a horse and "calèche," an open carriage. The quest for quality was handed down from one generation to the next. Thierry's son Charles-Emile was followed by his sons Adolphe and Emile-Maurice. By 1914, eighty expert saddlery craftsmen were working for the company.
Emile-Maurice introduced an unusual new feature in 1918, when he obtained the rights to use the new zip fastener for use on leather goods and clothing, and the first such garment was a leather golf jacket. Over the decades, the company diversified into different areas of luxury goods: bags, scarves, jewellery, garments, silk ties, and perfume. The first perfume was named simply Eau d'Hermes, launched in 1951, created by perfumier Edmond Roudnitska. In 1961, Calèche was the Maison's first women's perfume.
Travel remained a key part of Hermès symbolism. In the 1970s, the company introduced python motorcycle jackets, and leather jackets with sherpa lining and trim. And so, considering this long history of references to man's incessant movement and exploration, it should come as no surprise that the Maison's new fragrance is named Voyage d'Hermès.
Jean-Claude Ellena became in-house perfumier in 2004, and launched the Hermessence range. Today's new fragrance, Voyage d'Hermès, expresses much more than just the concept of travel. Ellena's fundamental concept was to create a perfume that was destined for both men and women, because, as he said, journeys are for both sexes, just as they are for natives and foreigners, young and old. His ambitious objective was to create a fragrance that appeals to the senses, not in terms of "That reminds me of..." but "It's inviting me to go somewhere." The journey that he wanted to evoke was the journey not yet taken. An adventure. The perfume therefore had to be an abstract concept, a combination of unusual opposite: male and female, fresh and musky, dynamic and relaxing.
Then there was the question of the bottle. Here, designer Philippe Mouquet had an inspiration, or a revelation, in the form of a pocket magnifying glass, of the sort that swings in and out of a rectangular case. He found a battered magnifying glass of this sort on a path when he was walking. The symbolism was perfect, because he could make the outer case in metal, so that it resembled a stirrup, an important part of the Maison's iconography. It would offer protection to the glass bottle. The container would become an important object, kept and refilled time and time again.
Voyage d'Hermès is available in Eau de toilette, refillable natural spray (35 ml, 1.18 fl oz, and 100 ml, 3.3 fl oz). The refill for Eau de toilette is in 125 ml (4.4 fl oz) format. The natural spray Deodorant is made in a150 ml (5 fl oz) format. The all-over shower gel is made in a 200 ml (6.5 fl oz) format.

Smashing the Two-Hour Marathon Barrier: Kipchoge Takes Us Closer
It took countless hours of work, millions of dollars of investment, and tireless research, but as of last week, the running world has inched closer to that elusive goal - a two-hour marathon. 32-year-old Eluid Kipchoge's incredible achievement took place in a highly controlled, regulated environment facilitated by Nike in their quest to leverage innovative running technology (and access to the greatest talent in the world) in order to smash the two-hour barrier. Kipchoge was on pace for much of the race, but began to flag slightly in the final miles, and due to pace-setting regulations his final time of 2:00:25 won't technically count as the official new world record. The current official record will remain in the hands of Dennis Kimetto, who clocked in at 2:02:57 at the 2014 Berlin Marathon. Yet Kipchoge's remarkable feat has put a two-hour marathon, a goal once believed to be beyond the scope of human capability, within reach.
Two hours is less than half the average marathon time (American runners clocked in at an average of 4:20 hours last year, and that time can stretch up to 8 hours for walkers), and anywhere even close to that range is reserved for the most elite marathoners. But the lesson we mere mortals can take away from Kipchoge's incredible achievement is that, when we identify and prioritize our greatest goals, allocating our resources accordingly, we can reach heights a greener version of ourselves would have considered impossible. We don't need millions of dollars from Nike to spur us to the gym, either - we just need running shoes, thirty minutes, and perhaps a little musical motivation.
When we set ourselves up to lose, dreaming up a goal and then writing it off as beyond our reach, there's no chance of achieving it. But when we set ourselves up to succeed, push ourselves, to go just a quarter-mile farther or a half-minute faster than we did yesterday, we've already won. So this week, go ahead and prove your old self wrong.

Posted by John on October 08, 1998 at 01:34:48:
Hello Paul,
I have been following this board for several months and enjoy
reading the posts and your knowledge of income taxes.
I just recently (about 8 weeks ago) had my employer stop holding
Federal Income taxes. They would not stop withholding on Social
Security, medicare, state taxes, and local taxes. I am still working
on that issure
Today I received from the IRS a Paperwork Reduction Act Notice.
They want me to provide them information on IRS form 2678, Employer
Appointment of Agent. In all my reading on the income tax fraud, I
don't believe that I have come across this form. What should I do??

Ever wake up after a crazy busy few days and find you're suffering a skin flare up, painful joints or swelling? Chances are that this isn't just a random coincidence. psoriatic arthritis (PsA) symptoms can often be directly triggered by stress. 1
But before we make you stressed out just by reading this, take a deep breath. Sometimes when you can understand why something is happening to your body, it can help you be more conscious of how you can prevent it. So dust off your old proverbial science books and let's take a look at what's actually happening inside your body when you get stressed out.
Why it's not just emotional
Believe it or not, stress and anxiety aren't just emotions. In order for our bodies to deal with these feelings, actual physical reactions are triggered.2 Ever been so stressed out that your hands shake? Gotten those dreaded butterflies in your stomach? What about a racing heartbeat? Those are all physical manifestations of your stress.
But for people with PsA, the reaction in the body goes far beyond the standard jelly legs,1 and could actually cause a real flare-up.
Ok, let's take a break for a second. We know what you're thinking. I have psoriasis. And I have arthritis. And now you're telling me that a typical bout of stress also causes more of a physical reaction for me than everyone else? I'm stressed out just reading that!
We certainly don't blame you, but stay with us. The science behind what's happening here is actually pretty interesting.
When stress gets physical
Alright, so here's how it works. Four simple steps to a stress-induced flare-up:
- When we're stressed, a molecule called corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is released. CRH is designed to help boost our adrenaline and deal with the situation we're facing. It's what causes us to do incredible things under pressure.2
- Unfortunately, CRH (which is released from sensory nerve endings in our skin) isn't just limited to the brain. It also kick-starts a chain reaction in the rest of the body and activates mast cells (white blood cells containing histamines; the regulators of the immune system).2
- These mast cells release a large amount of protein called TNF-alpha, which is meant to help combat inflammation (think of it as the firefighter of your body).2
- But for people with PsA this excessive production of TNF-alpha triggers the body to go into overdrive, causing the rapid growth of skin cells which produce itchy patches of psoriasis, or the damage to joint tissue that causes painful and swollen joints.2
You are now in the midst of a stress-induced flare-up.
It might sound complicated to us, but for our bodies, it's actually pretty straightforward. And we all know when our bodies take control, we have no choice but to listen. So while we may not like it, the takeaway is simple: stress could cause your PsA to get worse. And no one wants that.
How best to deal with stress?
Life can be hectic, and sometimes stress is unavoidable. But now that you know the impact it can have on your PsA, maybe it's time to find your inner namaste and make the best effort to de-stress your life. Easier said than done, we know. So we've done the hard work for you: check out our list of some of the best podcasts and apps to help you de-stress and relax.

Firstly apologies for not having posted this sooner and not being very responsive to people's messages, but in my defence i've been a bit busy and am at a very important point in my life. For the past couple of weeks i have been in training and working for a really great company that i hope i still feel the same about in the next couple of years as i can actually see myself having a future with my current job. When i was younger i absolutely loved the sense of security and routine, it made me efficient and confident but unfortunately it also made me arrogant and while the other kids my age were playing football, tag, jump rope etc... i spent my time reading, doing my multiplication tables and talking with my teachers to see how i can learn more and improve my knowledge of things... in other words i was a teachers Chihuahua!!! It was the same when i first came to england, i tried to keep to myself and also to my studies but little by little i started to change and as i started to go in to higher education, the sense of routine and stable life kind of started to scare me as i had started to improvise and take things as they come instead of mapping my life out before i have even done anything.
Now i have been given an amazing opportunity and i am so very happy to be at a point in my life where i am excited by whats going to happen but i can rest assure that as long as i work hard and keep pushing myself to do better, i can achieve the goals that i set for myself. I love performing and i love photography, but i think above all the thing i love the most is... connecting with people and to me that is the most valuable thing and i am so grateful that i get to be able to balance all of those three things in one job that pushes me to do better, that inspires me to help and inspire others.
Well my point is that life will throw you an obstacle course and you can try to plan what route you are going to take or you can just run through it blind, but if you take a moment look around you and tackle the course section by section and actually enjoy and find away to make the obstacles easier for yourself it no longer becomes an obstacle course but a fascinating maze to explore.
As for the pictures, they are from a recent production titled "She From The Sea" that a very good friend of mine designed. The production is a part of a bigger company which aims to give women who have had a rough journey and have been involved with the justice system a fresh start and a chance to explore a passion weather it is in performance or other aspects. I wish them all the best of luck with their careers and i hope to see more productions in the near future.

BREAKING NEWS: Player Leaks Capello Appointment9:21 PMGoalChatter
|Capello says, "Get back in the game!"
Fabio Capello has been appointed as the new head coach of the Russian national team.
We wish him success in his new position.So now we know Capello isn't signing the contract next week - he already did. Interestingly enough, Capello's alleged assistants won't be from England. 39-year-old Dmitri Alenichev recently began coaching FC Arsenal Tula, a fourth division (amateur league) team. During his playing career, Alenichev played for AS Roma and Perugia. The other aide, 43-year-old Igor Shalimov, coached the Russia Women's National Team, and had brief managerial stints at two clubs. Shalimov is familiar with all things Italian; as a player, he enjoyed a career at Inter, Udinese, and Napoli, to name a few. With deadlines on the horizon (the RFU still need to elect a president and finish preparations for the London Olympics, let alone select an NT for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers), it's no wonder all signs point to the appointment of the Italian specialist. Capello apparently agreed to live in Russia during his stay as manager, and to be actively involved in the development of footie in Russia. This includes communicating with RPL managers. Capello should have no trouble there, as he has a fellow Italian, Zenit's Luciano Spalletti, by his side. I recently discovered that if you Google the latter, the first thing that comes up is "Luciano Spalletti legendary 4-6-0 formation", which goes to show just how much authority he has in the world of football. Incidentally, another Italian by the name of Roberto Mancini was previously rumored as a candidate (though omitted from the RFU's official list). Maybe it's time to put Capello's past with England where it belongs - in the past. He has only managed one National Team, and we all know England has been infamous for failing at large-scale tournaments long before Capello's appointment. With a resume that includes successful spells at AC Milan and Real Madrid, and an attitude to get things done and ignore pesky criticism, there's no doubt he's a worthy coach for the job. Even though Capello, like any coach, has a set way of doing things, he's a professional chameleon and can easily adapt to any environment. He knows that every team is a different kind of animal. At the end of the day, though, his priorities are those of a determined and relentless human being. As he said in his interview for FFT, "the most important thing is results. That is not a philosophy, it's a fact."
There's something about Russia and Italians, and maybe that something includes a ticket to the semi-finals of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Ricky Jay
Deborah Baron, a screenwriter in Los Angeles, where Jay lives, once invited him to a New Year's Eve dinner party at her home. About a dozen other people attended. Well past midnight, everyone gathered around a coffee table as Jay, at Baron's request, did closeup card magic. When he had performed several dazzling illusions and seemed ready to retire, a guest named Mort said, "Come on, Ricky. Why don't you do something truly amazing?"
Baron recalls that at that moment "the look in Ricky's eyes was, like, 'Mort—you have just fucked with the wrong person.' "
Jay told Mort to name a card, any card. Mort said, "The three of hearts." After shuffling, Jay gripped the deck in the palm of his right hand and sprung it, cascading all fifty-two cards so that they travelled the length of the table and pelted an open wine bottle.
"O.K., Mort, what was your card again?"
"The three of hearts."
"Look inside the bottle."
Mort discovered, curled inside the neck, the three of hearts. The party broke up immediately.
It's been a while since I've seen one of those lists of articles to peruse from the New Yorker's temporary open archive. This profile of Ricky Jay from 1993 is one of my favorites.
While I was living in LA, I saw him perform live twice. This description of Jay from the profile is perfect: "He has a skeptically friendly, mildly ironic conversational manner and a droll, filigreed prose style."

Schutze Rules, Scene Rule and Gang Gang Dance Rules
Scene Rule: I don't know who Ed Masley is, but can the Observer music section stop referencing the Nuggets Box please? I mean its o.k. to do it sometimes, and it probably isn't unfair to reference it when discussing the excellent new Clinic record, but how many times have you seen the Observer do this in the past couple of years? Just quit it dudes.
(and oh yeah, I DID mean it when I said that Clinic's new record, Visitations, is excellent. Surely their best in a while, even if the band clearly has a songwriting formula that hasn't changed a great deal throughout their existence. HERE is a link to download "Children of the Kellogg," one of my favorites off the new one.)
Gang Gang Dance Rules: I've grown to love Gang Gang Dance over the past couple of years, and their upcoming DVD project, entitled Retina Riddim, looks like it will help keep the flame alive until we get a new record from them. This video (which features new music from the band) appears to be pretty experimental and all over the place, but to quote Ashtray's father, "that shit is FUN."

The Wars of the Roses describes a violent, turbulent era in English history. A civil war that raged sporadically between the English Houses of Lancaster and York roughly between the years of 1455 to 1487, over nothing less than the Crown of England.
Many legendary battles (the Ist and 2nd Battles of St. Albans, Northampton, Towton, and finally Bosworth) and many famous and infamous characters (Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, known as The Kingmaker; Richard III; Henry Tudor; and the wily Margaret of Anjou) all put their stamp on this tumultuous time period. Both Houses lost many of their noble members during that bloody 30 year period.
The struggle ended finally with the victory of the Lancastrian Earl of Richmond, Henry Tudor, who defeated the Yorkist King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth. Henry assumed the crown of England as Henry VII and founded the House of Tudor, which ruled England and Wales for the next 117 years.
The Albion Lancaster, classified by is one of the types of swords you would have found on those famous battlefields. Our Lancaster would be right at home in the early years of the conflict, and would have still seen use towards the end. Swords of this type were developed to deliver deep thrusts with ease. Reaching the height of popularity in the mid and late 14th Century, it still saw use in the 15th Century.
The shape of the blade results in a point that is acute, robust and very agile, and allows effective cutting where the blade broadens. By varying the proportions in width and thickness, blades of this type can have rather different character. Some are narrow and thick, resulting in very rigid and stout thrusting swords, while other blades are wider and thinner in proportion, with more emphasis on the edge and the cutting aspect of the sword.
This blade with its broad base, slim section and strong point it becomes a true ''cut & thrust'' sword. The edge will easily cut softer mediums, while the rigid point can meet such targets that are resilient against the edge of a sword. Handy in size, and with a very lively heft (perhaps the quickest in all the NG line up) it is a practical and lethal fighting sword well suited for both melee and self defense. It offers a precise and fluid control of point and edge and seems eager to follow the intent of the swordsman.
The Lancaster has a hand ground high carbon steel blade that is tempered for flexibility and edge retention. The crossguard and pommel are cast from mild steel. The grip is stabilized birch wood, cord-wrapped and fitted over with tight leather.
The sword grip comes in a selection of colors, please select an option below.
