A collection of live and acoustic home recordings from the legendary 'Elvis from Hell', Jeffrey Lee Pierce, and his Gun Club. In the early 80's Pierce's b*stardised blues painted pictures of the seedy underbelly of southern California, from the urban squalor to the desert indians. The first disc of live stuff with the full band is some of the best recordings of the group I've heard. They are notoriously uncapturable due to their tempestuous nature, and the tens of thousands of dollars they collectively burned on narcotics. Pierce died recently, and this disc is a decent accounting of a band that had the Cramps, Black Flag, and X open for them at one time or another.

Living in the city, it's often hard to access nature in its true form. As a parent, you may be hoping to expose your children to the outdoors and the natural environment, but are having some trouble finding the place to do that. Luckily we have several public options here in Queens; one of which is the Queens Botanical Garden. I visited this under-publicized but beautiful garden with my two year old, and was pleasantly surprised.
The Queens Botanical Garden was created as part of the 1938 World's Fair in Queens. In 1964, the garden was moved across the street from Flushing Meadows Park, to accommodate the 1964 World's Fair. Today, the Botanical Garden consists of over 39 acres of plants, herbs, flowers – even a bee garden (my daughter's favorite, in particular).
Possibly the best part about The Queens Botanical Garden was having the ability to stroll (or run, depending on your age), in a completely peaceful and serene environment. On each winding path within the gardens, one feels ten million miles away from anything urban. We spent close to an hour exploring different corners of The Garden, and enjoying every moment of it.
We loved exploring the visitor center, complete with goldfish ponds (possibly unintentional – but huge toddler attraction). Designed by BKSK Architects, and opened in 2007, this building received the "Platinum" Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Rating. It's a beautiful example of contemporary architecture, and something that can be admired by visitors of all ages.
If you are looking for traditional programming, the Queens Botanical Gardens has much to offer. The HSBC Children's Garden is a program for children ages 5-12. It's designed to teach children about plants, gardens, and nature. The Children's Garden is active during the Spring, Summer, and Fall. In addition, a variety of family friendly events are offered for members throughout the year.
The Queens Botanical Garden is a great place to take your kids to get away from busy, noisy city life, without having to go very far at all. The Garden is located at 43-50 Main Street, in Flushing. It is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 8am – 6pm from April 1st through October 31st. From November 1st through March 31st, it is open Tuesday through Sunday from 8am – 4:30pm. The Garden is closed on Mondays.
Admission to the Garden is $4 for adults, $3 for seniors, and $2 for children over 3, plus students with valid ID. From November 1st through March 31st, admission is free. During the peak months, April 1st through October 31st, the Garden offers free admission on Wednesdays from 3pm – 6pm, and on Sundays from 4pm – 6pm.

Everyone seems to agree that the role of editor is a one of publishing's most crucial jobs, but what exactly they do is a little more mysterious. Are they glorified proof-readers or something close to co-authors? Publishers' slavemasters or authors' protectors?
Continuing the series of webchats with industry insiders suggested by Degrus, UnpublishedWriter and RolandKempston, this week we will be opening up the world of the book editor in the company of Canongate's Francis Bickmore.
Bickmore has worked in publishing since 1998, and is now senior editor at Canongate Books. He primarily commissions fiction and has worked with, among others, James Meek, Scarlett Thomas, Yann Martel, Carol Birch, Steven Hall, Nick Cave, Geoff Dyer, Dan Rhodes, Louise Welsh, Philip Pullman and AS Byatt.
He'll be here to answer your questions from 1pm to 2pm this Friday, 20 May. Feel free to start posting questions now, so he'll have plenty to get to grips with, and come back on Friday to read his replies.
Next week: Designer Ben North.
You asked, Francis answered
Click on the link to go to the full answer. We've shortened some questions, just to make things a bit easier to follow.
@DanHolloway: Have you ever felt that in order to make a book you were championing more saleable you have had to ask the writer to make changes that were to the detriment of the book?
Making the best possible book is the guiding principle of editing, so one would never edit to the detriment of the quality of the book...
@UnpublishedWriter: Could you explain the different roles an editor play in the various stages of a book's life - and who does what?
Re: the different roles of my job, agents throw manuscripts at commissioning editors like me until a book sticks. An editor is the first champion of the book before acquisition and will end up being a kind of midwife as the book is born into the world...
@JosselinMoneyron: What would you say to an author who wants to self-publish to convince him that you are a valuable partner for him?
We've done it before.
@MrEdge and @smmc1990: asked about amazon and the changing booktrade.
People have been clamouring about the death of the book since Gutenberg. The digital world has revolutionized how we pass stories around, as it has revolutionised more or less every aspect of our lives...
@UnpublishedWriter: Thanks for appearing here and for the succinct and helpful answer - Love the idea of "pastoral care," but a hot water bottle wouldn't be top of my list.
Actually sometimes it's gin they most
@IPaton: What makes a good editor?
Read the brilliant Paris Review interview with Robert Gottlieb, the iconic 20th Century American editor of Joseph Heller, Rushdie, Toni Morrison, Robert Ludlum and the rest...
@leroyhunter: That's quite a roll-call of people you've worked with. Has it all been unalloyed teamwork and good cheer?
Firstly, thank you! That Gottlieb piece should also dramatise the ups and downs of the editorial conversation for you too. But if a book's worth publishing it's worth fighting over...
@neilpearsons: I presume you've had a few manuscripts containing brilliant ideas but dreadful writing - what do you do about that?
Good question, Neil. I mainly commission literary fiction so I'm really looking for voice and personality. There needs to be a story of course, but if the voice doesn't sizzle it's not going to work for me. Certainly there will be books with a great voice that lack plot, and that can sometimes be remedied with a good edit. But you can't really edit in more charisma.
@IloveW12: Is it true you read all manuscripts that are sent to you (as I was once supposedly reliably informed)? I sent you chapters of my novel on a Friday and it speedily landed on my doorstep again on the Monday with a rejection letter.
I hear your pain. Everywhere is different, but places that accept unsolicited manuscripts should be reading at least some of a script, even if it's only a dozen pages. It may just be a junior member of staff but they will have to power to get your script taken seriously...
@C1aireA: Do reviewers make you cross? Have you ever retaliated on behalf of an author?
Only lazy ones. Even if someone hates a book, if they've read it and responded strongly at least they are engaging with it...
UnpublishedWriter: How much has the role of an editor changed in recent years?
Editors are having to be publishers more than they used to, advocates for the book, presenting it in-house and to sales reps etc. So their job has become much more than just choosing a book and editing it...
@KidneyKidney and @henrytube and others: I recently read a book where the word "technically" was spelt incorrectly twice (as "technicelly"). If this happens, and it happens regularly, what justification is there for editors?
I do find it frustrating when I notice errors. But I'm not sure it's true we're going to the dogs in this respect...
@subtlemelodrama: I'm polishing off my manuscript, editing for the zillionth time. But what about a cover letter?
Do your research, show you know the editor and the list you're writing to, be brief. No more than a page...
@stpauli: What's the usual career path for someone in your kind of role?
Degree, work experience, junior assistant, assistant editor, commissioning editor, the world...
@BillyMills: Can anyone name Flaubert's editor? Or Charles Dickens'? Or James Joyce's? I really struggle with the idea that authors who aren't good enough to finish their books themselves get into print on the back of an editor's work.
The stories behind books make fascinating reading. I see it as akin to the producer in the history of pop music, or the gallery owner in the history of art: crucial relationships that shape the output. An editor needs to thrive on the idea of nurturing someone else's success...
@FortheLoveofEditing: Would you consider it a valuable skill for editors to be competent in hard copy editing or is that more a thing of the past?
In my experience it's harder to spot errors on screen. Maybe that's to do with the way we read on screen as opposed to on paper.
@JasonReitman: Do the egos and grand statures of established authors intimidate you from pointing out ways of improving a manuscript? Are some editors too cowardly too tell the big names, from Grisham to Holllinghurst, as to how one can still improve one's prose?
Often the most famous people are gladdest of criticism. Nick Cave for example, was one of the most receptive authors I've ever worked with and incredibly responsive to feedback...
@degrus: Are Americans better at novel writing it than Brits these days?
They do seem to have a different tradition. Brits seem more self-conscious about addressing the state of the nation and more scared of long books. Americans also sponsor the short story more and have a stronger network of independent bookshops. Show me an American novel better than James Meek's The People's Act of Love and I'll be impressed.
@Fawley: How can I get a job as an editorial assistant? I'd really love a job in publishing.
Show passion and determination. Part time work experience is a good way for you to try it out. You might hate it, after all.
@Olivia21: What would you say to a recent graduate who knows that in theory the idea of publishing is very attractive as a career as it matches with their interests perfectly, but is worried about gloomy forecasts about its future, plus feeling that it is hard to get enthusiastic about a career sector which feels like it might not know where it is headed?
What could be better than getting to read and work with authors AND pay the rent? Compromise on the rent not the job.

The functionality of a product is derived from the features that it is comprised of and a set of Caliber Standards has all the bells and whistles needed for all around skateboarding pleasantly packaged in one convenient pair of trucks. It is obvious even from first glance that this product is built to rage anything and everything you throw at it. The tombstone style hanger is beefed up in the right areas but not so much so that the thing weighs the same as a brick. Both the hanger and baseplate look and feel very solid and this is due to their construction being of A356 T6 virgin aluminum which offers the best strength to weight ratio out there. This choice in material is going to offer an all around high performance over a longer period of time allowing its rider to maximize the potential out of each set. Since the material offers such high strength properties, Caliber was securely able to drill 8 bolt holes in the base plate to accommodate any bolt pattern or to offer a slight wheelbase tweaking option even if your sled doesn't have multiple holes drilled. The deal breaker on a set of trucks that many people do not account for is the set of bushings that are used to seat the hanger onto the baseplate. A good or bad set of bushing will 100% make or break the performance of a set of trucks and Caliber accounted for this by equipping stock in every set of Standards Blood Orange 92a HR (high rebound) bushings. This particular model will deliver a quick return to center when performing maneuvers of any type as well as providing stability whether you're bombing a local classic or raging the deep end of a poached pool. The bushing seat was specifically designed to fit snugly and provide a secure contact point delivering a repetitiously responsive ride that instills confidence no matter what situation comes up. These bushings fit perfectly around a secure grade 8 kingpin that resides low enough below the hanger to ensure maximum grind clearance even as a groove pattern is developed. All of this was bundled together into a sleek, sexy end product that looks like it was crafted by the skate gods.
Test Environment
In order to ensure that each of these features was tested in an environment that would push its capabilities to the level intended by its designers, I wanted to skate various locations that offered a mixture of speed and obstacles that would provide me with the perfect dynamic to get an accurate gage on how these trucks "Skate Everything". I hit up parking garages, college campuses, skate parks, and even a slide jam all the while repping the same set of trucks, setup with the stock bushing options in an attempt to let you know exactly how these babies will ride straight off your local skate shops shelf.
This product is produced by a company deep into all types of skateboarding so I wanted to honor these roots by assembling a setup with these capabilities bred into its DNA. Here is what was under my toes during my testing:
Board: California Bonzing Da Kine
Trucks: Caliber Stanard 8.0 Blackout
Bushings: Blood Orange 92a HR (Stock in Caliber Standards)
Risers: None
Wheels: Hawgs Street 62mm 82a and/or Ricta Park Crusher's 59mm 79b
Bearings: Mini Logo (Side Note: Great cheap bearing option!)
After putting these trucks through the paces for almost 2 weeks I feel very confident in saying that these are some of the best feeling pieces of skateboarding equipment that I have had the joy of riding. My initial observation on my very first time on them was the quality feel provided by the bushings. When I leaned on them you could almost feel them giving all the while desiring to return to center due to their high rebound nature. This provided a very smooth and even turning experience and set up a deck platform that did not wobble side to side but had great response to it. Grinds on these bad boys were equally as smooth as the turn properties they produce leaving the rider with a true frictionless grind that feels like it will go on until the coping ends. The best part about these buttery grinds was that they were perfectly locked in due to the recessed king pin. This feature worked equally as well when exiting grinds or stalls allowing a hang-up free transition back into the ramp or off the obstacle. These qualities held true no matter what material that was coming into contact with the hanger on that grind; a smooth, frictionless experience of bliss was always the end result and despite my best efforts the A356 T6 virgin aluminum wore very minimally offering me an excellent life expectancy still to come. I took advantage of the multiple bolt holes on the base plate by moving the back truck up a little exposing more of my boards tail in an attempt to maximize pop and ollie height.
Skateboarding is beginning to reach a level of progression in which top notch gear is needed in order to perform at the highest level possible. Well if you are currently skating on the highest stage or just looking to advance in a few aspects of skateboarding you haven't participated in much, the Caliber Standard is your truck. I cannot think of any design flaws that I encountered during my testing period and experienced nothing but fun while riding them. If I could change anything it would be to up the size from an 8.0 to an 8.5 for the set up I had configured but even running a smaller then ideal truck, performance was very minimally affected. This is an incredibly solid product that I would recommend to any type of skateboarder looking to skate just about any terrain. Below is what I would rate these trucks in various critical skateboard truck categories on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the best.
Stability: 4.5
Grind Feel: 5
Turn-ability: 4.5
Slide Control: 4.5
Strength: 5
Durability: 4.5
Caliber has a guideline for what size Standard truck will fit what size deck in an effort to aid their customers in configuring the setup that they are individually looking for. They are as follows:
Width Hanger Weight Height Board Sizes
8" 135mm 382 g 54mm 7.75"-8.25"
8.5" 148mm 395 g 54mm 8.3"-8.6"
9" 160mm 410 g 54mm 8.8"-9.5"
Keep this chart in mind when thinking of which sleds you want to attach some Standards too so that you can ensure that the deck size you will be riding will properly house your wheels. I would recommend wheels with rounded lips that are center set when setting up your sled because wheels of that type are more easily adapted for multiple terrains and skating disciplines. Remember there is absolutely no wrong way to set up your skateboard and as long as you are including a set of Caliber Standards, you are sure to be pleased with the results they offer.

The school is conceived as a small city within a city. An iconic, condensed form that encloses life, and endorses it. Schools are nowadays regarded as shared work spaces for both teachers and students. The interior offers peace and quiet for autonomous work and concentration as well as communal areas for joint activities and socializing.
A network of bright streets open to the sky and create detached volumes, blocks for learning, sports and recreation, designated areas for specific functions and streets, parks and plazas all linking together. In between daily life at the school, improvised social behavior brings to life new uses, random meeting spots, areas for private concentration and spontaneous moments for casual encounters.
The architecture of the school becomes itself an educational experience for its occupants. The place where young students spend their formative years leading up to adulthood can inspire, provide insight and understanding, and an appreciation of social values.
The clear gesture of tilting the roof defines at once the school volumetrically in the purest way. Its orientation towards the south creates an ideal position for maximizing the amount of incoming sunlight from the roof while avoiding overheating during the hot summer months as well as for installing solar panel systems on the roof and for incorporating green roof system applications.
The tilted roof is also a symbolical and practical gesture that corresponds to the interior placement of the program. Large programmatic units that require volume or additional floor levels and are mainly intended for older children are accommodated under the same continuous roof together with the one level units, such as the day care, which are mainly purposed for younger kids. Therefore the scale of the building and its public spaces correspond with the scale of the users. A space feels big only when compared with something small for the case of the small kids and the gradual transition of the interior scale from small to big and vise versa is appreciated and perceived in a unique and different way by each and every user.
The open to the sky communal streets and the volume side-operable facade offer a unique interior atmospheric experience and at the same time minimize the need for mechanical ventilation and lighting. Learning is not confined exclusively to dedicated teaching spaces; teaching and other activities can also take place in the corridors / streets, in the open air patios or terraces of the upper floors, the yards, the gym, or the larger halls. This block based architectural solution minimizes noise, reduces the need for lengthy migration from class to class, and cuts down unnecessary traffic. Transforming hallways to active everyday spaces. It also allows for spaces to open and close. Merging both communal and private areas into hybrid workspaces that can offer alternative teaching experiences. That a common social space is readily accessible in a central location further contributes to promoting social interaction and communality.
In Phase 1, the school's program is carefully organized to physically detach the four main user groups of the complex and symbolically locate them accordingly. Older children are located on the upper levels, younger children are on the ground floor and therefore in smaller scale units. The Staff and Teachers are in between the two and adjacent to the main school entrance. Everyone is situated all around the school's communal spaces each group with access to their own respective exterior areas. The clinic acts as a separate entity next to the main service entrance to facilitate its operation. A main circulation loop surrounds the school's communal areas and is wide enough to accommodate resting areas and still act as an extension of the teaching spaces. Phase 1 opens up to views towards two large exterior yards, designed with thematic gardens and play areas on the terraces where Phase 2 will be situated in the future.
In the same way that the completion of Phase 2 completes the educational program of the school, so does the construction of Phase 2 formally complete the circular geometry of the building's volume. The entire building after the completion of Phase 2 highlights the experience of a city within a city, where the architectural qualities of the double phenomenons of solid – void, light – shadow, small – large, and inside – outside are fully intensified and appreciated.
Construction of Phase 2 can happen without affecting the school's daily operation, as the larger part of construction happens within the clearly marked boundaries. From one side are the two main stairs that lead to the upper floors of Phase 1 that are the physical, symbolic and structural borders between the two phases.
The circular form is the most energy and economically efficient structure and the program is intentionally condensed to leave as much open and untouched nature around it as possible. The school yard is conceived as a big park for all. The running track that surrounds the buildings and unrolls along its perimeter is also a space receiving the flow of students coming out of the building and distributes them to all corners of the school yards.
Additionally the inner school patio yards are communal exterior break rooms of a smaller more intimate scale for social interaction and protected for the weather conditions.

Verizon Wireless' Commitment To Customer Satisfaction In Alabama Recognized In Recent J.D. Power And Associates Study
BIRMINGHAM, AL — Verizon Wireless' commitment to delivering a positive wireless experience to its 51.3 million customers has been recognized once again. In the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 U.S. Wireless Regional Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) StudySM Volume 1 released today, Verizon Wireless shared highest honors for overall satisfaction among wireless telephone users in the Southeastern region that includes the state of Alabama.
Based on responses from 22,871 wireless subscribers, the J.D. Power and Associates study measures customer satisfaction relative to 42 specific service-related measures grouped into six key factors that impact overall wireless carrier performance: call performance and reliability, customer service, service plan options, brand image, cost of service, and billing. Verizon Wireless received five J.D. Power and Associates awards in this year's study, sharing highest honors in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, North Central, Southeast, and West regions.
"We believe that our consistent, strong growth and top placements in third-party studies are the direct result of our philosophy of putting customers first," said Jim McGean, President Alabama/Georgia Region, for Verizon Wireless.

If innovation is about off-angle thinking, collisions of concepts that come from different fields, and opening windows to the outside world, then why are so many innovation teams made up entirely of company insiders?
We believe homogeneity is one of the biggest weaknesses of today's innovation teams, labs, and R&D organizations. Many of the leaders running them acknowledge this, and are working to address it.
Our latest report, Hiring Innovators: How Innovation Teams Bring on Top Talent, explores how some of the most successful companies are:
- • Getting the budget
- • Describing the role
- • Working with HR — and promoting openings on their own
- • Evaluating candidates
- • Integrating new hires into the organization.
It also includes more than 20 recent job descriptions for roles like Chief Innovation Officer, Innovation & Insights Manager, Open Innovation Manager, Director — Innovation Labs, R&D Innovation Manager, Chief Digital Officer, Entrepreneur-in-Residence, and VP—Innovation. And we lay out five phases of an approach to getting from "hiring full-timers is not possible for us" to becoming a talent magnet.
Companies featured in this report include Target, Starbucks, Zodiac Aerospace, Visa, Hospital Corp. of America, Reliant Energy, MassMutual, Avanade, Draeger, and Kimberly-Clark.

Quick Turkey Croquettes
The best part about Thanksgiving? The leftovers! Use your leftover turkey to make these delicious croquettes.
Spanish croquetas are little hand-held bundles that are crispy on the outside, and hot and oozing on the inside with a filling that usually includes mashed potatoes and ham, chicken or fish. Croquettes are the French or Southern version. –RR
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or any light colored oil, plus some for frying
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 pound leftover sliced turkey
- 1 1/2 cup leftover mashed potatoes
- 1 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs, divided
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- A few pinches whole nutmeg
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- Cranberry sauce
- Gravy
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the celery, onion, carrot and parsley, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Heat a 1/4 of an inch of oil in a large skillet with high sides over medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, shred the leftover turkey using two forks.
Add the mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup of the breadcrumbs, poultry seasoning, nutmeg, salt, pepper, egg and cooled veggies. Mix to combine and form 10 patties about an inch thick.
Dredge the patties in the remaining breadcrumbs and brown in two batches in a single layer in the hot oil for 2 minutes on each side or until deep golden brown. Drain on paper towels and transfer to a serving plate. Serve with cranberry sauce and gravy alongside.

Picasso's Musketeer – painted in 1969, when Pablo was just 89. This painting brought 11.5 million dollars this week at a Sotheby's auction in London.
Another painting by Picasso, "Mousquetaire à la pipe", sold in May for more than 14.5 million. The two paintings were inspired by Pablo's reading of Alexandre Dumas' "The Three Musketeers".
Samsung's new anti-counterfeit passport concept…
Samsung has produced a new idea for ID cards using a flexible QVGA AMOLED (active matrix organic light emitting diode) screen embedded into the card. The screen requires so little energy that it can be powered up by the wireless signals from the RFID reader–no need for batteries. The OLED screen itself can display 260k colors and has a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. It will offer a rotating 360° view of your head when held up to an RFID reader. For airports that might not have an RFID scanner, an old-timey static picture is still included. Driver's license too?
"As I walked down the street while talking on the phone, sophisticated New Yorkers gaped at the sight of someone actually moving around while making a phone call. Remember that in 1973, there weren't cordless telephones, let alone cellular phones. I made numerous calls, including one where I crossed the street while talking to a New York radio reporter – probably one of the more dangerous things I have ever done in my life." Martin Cooper – April 3, 1973 – then mgr of Motorola Communications
In 1983, the Motorola "DynaTac" cell phone made its debut. It weighed one pound and cost 3500.00. By 1990, there were 1 million cell phone subscribers in the U.S. Most entities are not without a cell phone today.

From a percussion standpoint, I thought this was hittin! Check out the gig on Dave Letterman.
Its not that I follow Mos Def closely, but I have watched the drummer in the video Chris Dave through the years. This performance was a creatively original approach. I would bet if I were able to ask these guys how they thought the gig went, they would say it went well. It also might be the first time I've watched someone play the kit with three snares and a floor tom. Very nice!
LANSA Flight 508 was a Lockheed Electra L-188A turboprop, registered OB-R-941, operated as a scheduled domestic passenger flight by Lineas Aéreas Nacionales Sociedad Anonima (LANSA), that crashed in a thunderstorm en route from Lima, Peru to Pucallpa, Peru, on December 24, 1971, killing 91 people – all of its 6 crew and 85 of its 86 passengers. The sole survivor was a 17 year old girl, who fell 2 miles (3 km) down into the Amazon rainforest strapped to her seat and remarkably survived the fall, and was then able to walk through the jungle for 10 days until she was rescued by local lumbermen. Juliane Kopcke survived and went on to earn a PhD. Read the account of her 2 mile fall and how she survived.

According to the East Sussex County web page, giving the Minutes of a meeting of the East Sussex county council held at Pelham House, Lewes, on Tuesday, 15 October 2002 at 10.00 am, the English County of East Sussex has its own flag:

The Arms of East Sussex were granted in 1889 and are of ancient
origin. The Arms of East Sussex as shown are very similar to the symbol/banner
attributed to the ancient Kingdom of Sussex (6th-8th Century) except that it
contained only the six golden "martlets" on a red background. The Arms of West
Sussex County have the six golden martlets on a blue background with a similar
golden wavy strip. After 1974 the arms were adjusted to add a crown with oak
leaves on the top to symbolise a part of Surrey which Sussex absorbed (Gatwick

The original (unofficial?) coat-of-arms of the County of Sussex
is blue with six gold (sometimes silver) martlets. This probably came from the
arms of the Earl of Arundel. The red shield with golden martlets and Saxon crown
was first used by East Sussex County Council in 1937. It was the West Sussex
coat-of-arms that was granted in 1889 - the first County Council do have an
official coat of arms due to the influence of the Duke of Norfolk.

My history major at Saint Michael's taught me how to analyze complex information, to evaluate sources, and to present my findings in a way which is informative, interesting, and relevant. I am pursuing a master's degree in history at the University of Massachusetts Boston and I hope to eventually earn my doctorate. My focus is on Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe. While I was applying to graduate programs, it was great to mention professors I took courses with at Saint Michael's and have a professor at another university know their work - that is really an indication of the quality of professors we have.
I am most proud of my involvement with Saint Michael's Fire & Rescue, both as a student and now as an active alumni member. I have been fortunate to be a member of a family of volunteers who are dedicated to each other and to the surrounding community. The department is not only directly involved in the protection of life and property in the area we serve but in the greater good of the community as well. Just recently, for example, a group of student members participated in a service project at Camp Ta-Kum-Ta, a local summer camp for kids with cancer and kids who have survived the disease. My experience with Saint Michael's Fire & Rescue cannot be matched anywhere else.
My advice to incoming students at Saint Michael's: Get to know your professors and become involved in activities that interest you. Professors at Saint Michael's love to form meaningful and productive partnerships with their students. Even after you graduate, they will go out of their way to help you succeed in whichever career path you choose.

Los Gigantes
loading map...
- Summary
Due to its renowned hiking, 4x4 off-roading, rock climbing and rappelling, Los Gigantes, in the Pampa de Achala region of the Cordoba Mountains, has become one of the city's most visited adventure sites. Topping out at a height of 2,374 meters (7,789 ft), the multiple peaks that compose Los Gigantes, including Cerro La Cruz and El Hornito summit, give hikers and climbers an amazing view over the striking valleys and waterways that make up western Cordoba Province. Aside from panoramic vistas and adventurous activities, however, these peaks come complete with multiple unique cave formations that are well worth a look, and an array of wildlife that includes spotted lizards, condors and even pumas. Just be sure to check the weather before heading out, as heavy fogs and inclement conditions have been known to quickly come a'rolling in.
Location:64 km (40 miles) west of Cordoba City, Pampa de Achala, Cordoba Province, Argentina

I came to England in the fall of 1954. Rationing was just ending, the house next door was a bomb site and the war seemed as if it had just ended. London was still a mess – most cars and clothes were pre war and everyone was very poor. Everyone had a war story. My Nanny told me of the Blitz and watching dogfights in the English summer sky. My Grandfather talked of how he had smuggled his dog over to England in the drum of the band. It was in the mid 1950's that a number of great films came out. There was enough time I think to get perspective but the war was still close enough for the emotional truth to be first hand for much of the audience.
The 1956 film with Richard Todd still stands as one of the best war movies ever made. It is very realistic emotionally – people really were like that. There is also some great footage of Lancasters and the supporting routine of flying. (Here is the RCAF Lanc at Hamilton taking off today) Todd is exceptional as is Redgrave who plays Barnes Wallis. I am pleased to say that Richard Todd is still alive and very youthful. He was a para in WWII and was in action at Pegasus Bridge on the night of June 5.
This is my favourite scene – where I always cry – the men are biding their time and then Todd/Gibson tells them that it is time to go. As the board the trucks, Eric Coates music swells into the full theme. Nothing is said – it's all the routine of going out to the plane. You the viewer know that many will never return.
The film ends with complete heartbreak as we see routine again of getting home and then … the empty rooms, the empty chairs in the dining hall – it's very subtle and so different from what you might expect.
The entire film is available thanks to Henry V Keiper who has a number of great war films up – including my other WWII fave Twelve O'Clock High with the incomparable Gregory Peck as the driving new base commander. Gibson was very much like the Peck character – he was very tough and not popular. Gibson was killed later in the war – he could not stay away from action. While on his book tour in the US after the raid he was asked how many trips he had taken (As a US Pilot you could leave after 25 – he replied 174) Keiper also has the Battle Of Britain that starts here.
You Tube has all of the 1956 film available plus an outstanding documentary in 6 parts posted by GD Houston who has put up a truly wonderful selection of excellent documentaries. Here is part 1
Houston is a real find – he has over 400 videos on his channel. You can order the DVD at Amazon here. Here is a link to the history of the raid. Here is a link to a well reviewed book on the making of the film. Here is a link to the book and the author who captured the war for my boyhood – Paul Brickhill.
Now it looks certain that Peter Jackson is about to make a remake. I wonder how he will approach it – The screen writer is Stephen Frye who I have a lot of confidence in to get the period right. R C Sheriff, who wrote Journey's End, wrote the original screenplay.
I wonder if they will focus more on the character of Joe McCarthy, the very popular American who flew on the raid who had a very distinguished career. His son is in the documentary with Joe's bomb aimer who clearly thought the world of his skipper. Joe had a very significant part in the raid – it was his plane that would not start and he and his crew took the spare and did much of the raid alone and very exposed.

Taylor University - Comments and Student Experiences
One thing to keep in mind is that YES, the surrounding town stinks. Theres basically a gas station and Ivanhoe's. But that's why they have so many great campus activities!! You have to be intentional about getting involved.
Chapels are always great, and the profs really make a point to get to know you and give uou the help you need, but sometimes you'll need to be willing to ask for it. All in all, Taylor could end up being the best decision you'll ever make, but only if you're sure that it seems like the right fit. Otherwise you may just end up shoveling money into a school that you dont LOVE. (Because lets face it, Taylor costs a lot of money)
Everyone is required to take core religion classes, along with other classes to round out gen. ed. requirements for the liberal arts degree. I've found pretty much all of my classes to be beneficial, and I've even enjoyed some of my non-major classes more than some of those in my area of study. The bible department profs are almost all phenomenal, and most of the other faculty on campus could be described in such a manner, one way or another, as well. (Just do yourself a favor and don't decide to major in Spanish here.) Professors are extremely accessible and helpful, and it's not uncommon for students to visit their houses, have their phone numbers, or be greeted outside of class by them.
For those who prefer city life, Upland likely won't be satisfactory (it's a tiny town in the middle of cornfields). It is about halfway between Ft. Wayne and Indy, though, so the city is about an hour away. Taylor itself has a bunch of fun traditions (just search "Taylor University Silent Night" on YouTube for a taste), and has extra-curricular activities coming out of its ears. There are many opportunities to become involved with organizations and events both on campus and in the surrounding community. Taylor emphasizes serving others, and reaches out to both its immediate neighbors and those abroad.
That brings me to one of the super exciting things about this school: there are so many opportunities to travel around the world. Mission trips, academic trips, music trips, study abroad...it's very likely that one who goes there will visit at least one foreign country before he or she graduates (and it will be a life-changing experience).
Dorm life is great. If you want to have 24/7 open house, you'll be disappointed, but I think most people are thankful not to have to worry about the opposite sex walking around on their wing/floor at all hours. Individual floors or wings (depending on which dorm) are generally very close-knit, and you'll find students of every year (freshman to senior) living on them. It's very much a blessing to have students who are at every level of experience all living together and sharing life. (This also means that there's no "freshmen dorm." Every dorm is nice, and there's usually something done over each summer to improve/update one or another of them.) My particular wing has the older students wash the feet of incoming freshmen during our fall wing retreat. Pick-a-dates are a big thing on campus. A particular wing or floor will basically plan a large group date (anything from playing messy games outdoors, to going to a museum and a nice dinner, to laser tag, etc.), and it's a great opportunity to get to know someone of the opposite sex in a low-pressure and fun situation (or to just spend time with someone with whom you're already good friends). Oh, also, laundry is included in the sum you pay for room and board at Taylor, so there's no need to worry about quarters or swiping a card to use the washing machines and dryers. All in all, I have never regretted my decision to go to Taylor. I become more thankful for this school each semester I attend, and I thank God for the close friendships and excellent education I'm receiving.
Are you a student and about to sign the very first lease in your li... more→

Are you ready for "go green"?
Are you ready for "Hillary II" aka "Obamacare" to be turned back for more "community sensitive" and "fiscally responsible" game plans, more of state's rights?
Are you ready for the real "soap opera" of a one term Obama then post presidency to be locked in daily battle with Clintons and the Clintons' power machine around the (extra-constitutional) flexing with Clinton Global Initiative Foundation, and kept even then to hardly worthy to "work" in the "Clintons' house"?
So the Clinton Presidential Library may need an addition to so give "Hillary" the first lady space she had hope not to need for of course as "the inevitable" she would have her own "library"? So the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library not likely to "age well" for its phalic architecture like a big gray (Navy) gun?
Are you ready for tradition, not of such corner cutting — Friday night football?
Are you ready to help New Yorkers? Are you ready to cheer on Ground Zero rebuilding without being a rally call for "the avoidance" and "the inaction" and insensitivity that so marks the Clintons' eight years, like as President Obama with his Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech spoke to dangers around, and to of risk of repeating? Are you ready for such days still a ways off where President Obama maybe as the "one term president" now of "discussed wisdom" as to likely where he will likely be in a daily soap opera with Clintons also more on the out struggling to dominate and suppress Obama support and interference globally with their CGI foundation?
What an inappropriate "architecture" for the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library, but though for "so Freudian" in constructs? And so of near cantilevered over "more international"/"global"/"feminine" of the flowing "waters"/"river" so of situated/dreamy?
Does Obama even stand a chance, a chance to dream, post his presidency, his "four years"?
Does President Obama have only a future of real "soap opera" daily struggle(s) with odds against him ever quite "getting out from under Clintons"?
How will "Hillary's" days as crusading First Lady talking trash to radical Muslims on their own turf settle in history — way too 'incendiary'? A "talking" without a timely "walking" of message? Just historical, and inappropriate "trash talking" for a American First Lady?
How will "Hillary's" days as Senator for New York, though not of doing the more Mass. thing of at least working with her new state, of her carpetbagging, to see New Yorkers at least all covered in healthcare by New Yorkers, even if just as done by Massachusetts? Must "Hillary" be chiseled into formal history for being mostly just to an autocracy of Clintons establishment and at fault for not doing "small" work like HC for New Yorkers by New Yorkers while not a too distracted, again to autocracy establishing, Senator?
How do we now rebuild Ground Zero safely away and hopefully past the Clintons' eight years of politicizing the Middle East and their playing the "blame game" before President Obama maybe greater playing of the "blame game"? How do we get past the Clintons' "Middle East policies" of politicizing region on hard lines anti-Republican to solid "blue region" PR? How do we get past the Clintons' PEACE DIVIDENDS mentality in an era we now better know, finally, not to have been appropriate for so much unfunding and underfunding?
How poorly will design/architecture of Clintons' Presidential Library age?
Are you ready for some football? Are you ready for another year of tradition of football not of so much historical and unprincipled corner cutting of Clintons history now being scored with more transparency and clarity?
But for Clintons, is growing old in America, getting back on - back to basics?
What made you smile or laugh today? Brett Farve, maybe? Creations more in "go green"?

Marketing Idea for You Bands
I attended a recent concert where the band playing had a great marketing tool: They had posters up and flyers on the bar advertising that if you bought their CD and/or LP at the show you would receive a wristband to meet the band and have them sign it after. What a cool incentive for the fans and a good way for the band to make a stronger connection with fans. It may not work for every venue but I think it is a more constructive way to generate revenue and get fans than just standing at the merch tent after the show.

School Work
You are at school to learn, but that doesn't mean that learning can't be fun. If you feel like your having a hard time or are struggling with your work have a look at some of the advice offered by the BBC below. If none of this helps there is no need to suffer on your own. Talk to your parents, form tutor or a member of the pastoral team (email@example.com) to see what help and guidance they can offer:
{ I'm doing really badly }
Everyone has problems with schoolwork sometimes. Try to keep things in perspective. Getting one or two bad grades doesn't mean you'll fail your Assessments. Work out why it's happening and how you can fix it.
{ I'm really stressed out by homework }
Homework can seem never-ending and you need to find ways of managing your time effectively. Study somewhere quiet away from the TV and other distractions and make sure you don't leave it all to the last minute.
{ How can I motivate myself in subjects I hate? }
If you hate a subject you'll probably never learn to love it. However, with a good range of qualifications you'll stand out from the crowd when you apply for jobs and college so it's worth doing your best in all your subjects.
There are lots of websites offering study support and you should ask your teachers for advice – they're there to help you learn.
{ I've got problems at home }
If something at home or in your personal life is worrying you, it can distract you from your schoolwork. Talk about it to your family and friends or a teacher you trust. Alternatively, call ChildLine – they won't judge you and won't tell anyone about your call.
If you've missed classes for any reason, talk to your teacher about what you can do to catch up.

MEQUON, Wis.- Tonight's Concordia- MSOE women's basketball matchup was definitely a game of two distinct halves with Raider size and patience giving the Falcons fits over the first 20 minutes and CUW speed dictating what eventually became a 64-46 win over the second twenty.
The Raiders had their entire projected starting five together for the first time all season and looked like the better team in the early going.
MSOE powered the ball inside to assume a 22-15 lead with five minutes left in the first half before Concordia trimmed the margin to 25-22 at the break.
Things changed drastically when CUW, now 11-2 in conference play, picked up their defensive intensity in the early moments of the second half, taking their first lead 27-26 on a Katie Luethe jump shot with 17:49 remaining.
That began a streak of 13 consecutive points by the Falcons, and as the pace picked up the visitors quickly wore down.
Concordia's lead grew to as much as twenty points so that reserves got significant minutes down the stretch.
Luethe (Jr./ Oshkosh, Wis.) came back from a difficult first half to lead the Falcons with 13 points and seven rebounds. Senior Tiffany Hendrickson added 10 and eight other CUW players also scored.
Bre'Ana Strong was just that for the Raiders, leading all scorers with 19 points, including three of six from long range, and grabbing seven rebounds.
The Falcons (13-5) board their bus for the trip to Nebraska on Wednesday at midnight and play Concordia Seward on Friday at 1:00pm in the first game of the CIT.

One of the common saws coming out of even the wisest of mouths right now is "well, I'm against the war, but I support our troops." Mid-discussion, at least two people have asked "but you support the troops, right?" Um, well…
Our "commander-in-chief" was not voted in by me, nor did he win the popular election. He was sneaked into the Oval Office by the vote of an ideologically-stacked Supreme Court, and it is my opinion he has a tenuous mandate over the armed forces. Should I accept that he is my President, and get over it? Sure, but "supporting" him in blind faith is excruciatingly difficult.
People who join the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines do so using their free will. There is no conscription forcing anybody to grab a gun and kill people in foreign lands. They knew what they were getting into, and made a conscious decision.
Did I support the troops when they went into Bosnia and put an end to the genocide? Absolutely. Did I support the troops when they kicked the Taliban's ass? You betchya.
But this war is the delusional fantasy of a few individuals sitting deep inside the White House, plotting to viciously re-arrange the Middle East. Rumsfeld, Perle, Wolfowitz, Rice and Ashcroft are not people who speak for me. Even Powell, who used to be the voice of reason, was swallowed by the Dark Side one lonely night, and the war followed soon thereafter.
As of today, 37 American kids have been killed. Hundreds of Iraqi troops have been mowed down, and two count 'em, two – American missiles have found their way into Baghdad markets, turning hundreds of women and children into slabs of dismembered meat. This war is reading like an Al-Qaeda Training Video on the airwaves of Al-Jazeera. The viscous, bubbling syrup of white-hot hatred is gushing over from Arab nations, and we are creating terrorists by the bushel.
To all you pro-war people: your viewpoint is hard to stomach unless you live in New York City or Washington. When your sisters bike across the Manhattan Bridge every day for work, when you enter each tunnel praying you'll see the other side, when you are forced to rush across Times Square to do an errand, maybe then you can have an opinion. Until you move here and experience what it is actually like to live in a place charred by horrifying memories and palpable threats of more, you should just shut up. You – and the other 71% of America who dig the war – make it very dangerous for my family to live in the town we love.
As for our troops: I don't see how they're making us any safer. I didn't think Iraq was a threat before, and I don't now. So far, U.S. troops have killed a lot of brown people and turned a billion or so Muslims against us. Our missiles are accurate, to be sure, but not accurate enough. We took over one of Iraq's airports and called it Bush International. How cool was that? I hope everyone had a good chuckle. You know, while four thousand Saudi teens seethe with rage.
Every day this war drags on, most of the thinking, sensitive people I know toil in a vague sense of agony. Do I wish the entire Army could come home in one piece, get back to making jokes at the dinner table and playing hoops in the backyard? God, yes. But saying "I'm against the war, but support the troops" is the mealy-mouthed, pusillanimous wimpering of a nation living under the Orwellian eye of a fear-mongering government, and the lockstep induced by a highway full of redneck assholes driving Yukons with bumper stickers that say "YOUR NEXT, NORTH KOREA![sic]"
"Support the troops…" Can't it be enough just to wish they survive and come home?

All Along The Watchtower, Bob Dylan, Buddy Miles, Electric Ladyland, Jack Casady, Jimi Hendrix, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Mitch Mitchell, Noel Redding, Stevie Winwood, Voodoo Chile
Voodoo Chile
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
It took weeks of saving left-over lunch money. Finally, the moment. A visit to Fletcher's in High Street this time to buy … rather than just fingering & flickering through album covers, picking out those most tempting.
My target: Electric Ladyland, third and last album from The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Double vinyl – meant saving for a double purchase.
As I walked home (fast) along Station Street, I don't think I saw a single thing around me – my eyes on my prize. Turning it over and around, opening it up, trying to work it out … weird layout. What looked like the front cover (because it carried the title & artist) was positioned as the back cover.
Both front & back sleeve images are photographs from Karl Ferris. The back cover – or was it the front? – had Hendrix in that hypnotic "gypsy eyes" jacket, flanked by Mitchell & Redding. The front was Hendrix illuminated by fire.
And when, finally, the stylus met the vinyl the fire flamed from the speakers … screeched and boomed, echoed around the room.
I was astounded at what I heard … and so was my Mum.
My first reason for coveting Electric Ladyland was the powerful (and definitive) cover of Dylan's All Along The Watchtower which had been played heavily on commercial radio. It entered the Go-Set Top 40 in November 1968, debuting at 27 – and it stayed in the chart for 15 weeks, peaking at #9 in January 1969.
Voodoo Chile, though, conveyed a sense of spontaneity. I love the way it drifts and drives into chaos and climaxes, at times almost degenerating into complete rabble … and then gets reeled back in, guided by something beyond human … voodoo maybe? Or the synergy generated early one morning by some amazing musicians.
Connection with The 59th Street Bridge Song (from Live Adventures)?
Mainly it's that guitar/organ combination – at times layered over each other, then battling it out, then exchanging &echoing phrases. On Feelin' Groovy it was Al Kooper & Mike Bloomfield, here it is Stevie Winwood taking the seat behind the Hammond.
Al Kooper also contributes to Electric Ladyland playing piano on Long Hot Summer Night.
Mike Bloomfield appeared a number of times with Jefferson Airplane, whose bassist Jack Casady takes the bass on this track.
Buddy Miles drums on a couple of Electric Ladyland tracks, and eventually teams up with Hendrix in Band of Gypsys. He was also in The Electric Flag with Mike Bloomfield.
Other Stuff You Might Enjoy
* Some Hendrix anecdotes from:
Chris Squire. (7m 28s) Robert Wyatt (7m 7s) Robert Fripp (4m 11s)
* Karl Ferris Psychedelic Experience – a photobook.
* Letter from Hendrix. The album sleeve was different in the UK and the US (Australia followed the US). Hendrix had written to the record company explaining what he wanted – he did not get his way. This link takes you to that letter and another with the album liner notes.
Where to next?
OK … back from the outskirts of infinity. Now is it to be another extremity or something a bit more mainstream and countable.

On July 2nd, GeekWire reported that private equity company H.I.G. had purchased Intelius, a well-known people search, public records and background check company based in Bellevue, Washington.
H.I.G. reportedly bought Intelius and their parent company, Inome Inc., in a deal that is believed to be in excess of $100 million.
Intelius was started in 2003 by Naveen Jain and several former InfoSpace employees as a data broker of people search and consumer records information.
The company is also behind an employee screening service called TalentWise and an identity protection service called IdentityProtect.
In 2009, Intelius bought Spock, a free people search engine, which now directs users to ZabaSearch, another one of the company's people search acquisitions.
In 2011, Intelius bought a popular Facebook genealogy app called Family Builder.
The company also launched TrueRep in 2011. TrueRep allows people to add their own personal explanations to their background check report as well as monitor, edit and control some of the personal information that is available through Intelius.
The company also offers a smartphone app that lets people research the backgrounds of potential dates online.
Over the years, the company has weathered a number of problems and lawsuits that range from aggressive marketing tactics and customer service issues to consumer privacy and opt-out complaints.
In 2012, the United States Federal Trade Commission launched an investigation into a number of consumer data brokers that included Intelius. However, the investigation ended with not much more than an agency report detailing their findings along with some consumer warnings and suggested industry guidelines.
Other data brokers that were included in the FTC investigation included: Acxiom, Corelogic, Datalogix, Peekyou, Rapleaf and Recorded Future.
The company reportedly has revenues in excess of $150 million annually.
Intelius executives have refused to discuss the price that H.I.G. paid for the company, but the price is reportedly in the $100 – $200 million range.
The Intelius deal closed on July 1st, 2015 with terms that include Jain keeping a 25 percent ownership stake in the company.
Intelius executives cancelled plans to go public several years ago.
Intelius filed for an IPO in 2008, but never went public. They cancelled their plans for a public offering in 2010, but raised the possibility of an initial public offering again in 2011.
Jain said he is working on a new technology startup that is focused on the healthcare field.
H.I.G. is a private equity firm based in Miami, Florida with over $17 billion in assets.
