About Us
Jenny Eaden
As a young woman, I came to Lancaster University and had the time of my life! I loved the campus, the town, the people – so warm, friendly and welcoming! Life took me away but I have returned after a career in teaching and am now keen to encourage people to see the fabulous aspects of Lancaster and enjoy it as I do. Lancaster Vision allows me to work with like minded people in promoting the city for its heritage, culture, stunning coast and countryside as well as the great food, and of course its best asset: the Lancashire people.
Michael Greenhalgh
It's six years since I came to live in Lancaster after a career in manufacturing industry and I haven't regretted it for a moment. The City and District have so much to offer in terms of heritage, education, culture, location, scenery and not least community spirit. I'm keen though that the area should not be left to become a backwater, gently marooned between the "powerhouses" to the South and East, and through Lancaster Vision I want to do whatever I can to make the City the centre of a more diverse and dynamic economy, whilst helping it live up to its new-found status as one of only 11 of the country's Heritage Cities.
Elizabeth Roberts
I have lived in Lancaster since 1969 and would not want to live anywhere else. It is a wonderful city. Professionally I was Director of the Centre for Northwest Regional Studies (now the Regional Heritage Centre) at Lancaster University and was able to mount lectures and conferences which linked the town and the University. I want to see Lancaster flourish culturally, socially and economically.
Jacqueline Whiteside
I moved to Lancaster in 1994, and have remained captured by the city, its district, and its people ever since. Among my roles at Lancaster University, I was Director of the Centre for North-West Regional Studies (now Regional Heritage Centre), which covered many aspects of this endlessly fascinating region. I joined Lancaster Vision because I would like every resident to share my pride in all that this wonderful area already offers, and my commitment to helping to realise its vibrant potential.
Martin Widden
Lancaster has a huge amount to offer to anyone who, like me, is interested in architecture and town planning. The street plan of the centre was laid out in Roman times, and essentially it hasn't changed since; the city's period of prosperity in the late 18th and early 19th centuries left us a great legacy of handsome Georgian architecture. In many ways it's a great place to visit and to live, yet it could be so much greater – this is why a group came together to form Lancaster Vision.
Sue Widden
I was born and went to school in Lancashire, further south than Lancaster, but even then I felt that Lancaster was a magical city, combining the grit of the north of England with the fantasy of ancient camps and castles. Now I believe even more strongly that the Lancaster district has so much to offer both to its residents and to visitors and I feel committed to promoting the charms of the city and district as widely as possible.
Anne Wichmann
I came to Lancaster in 1986, after 14 years working as a teacher in Germany and Denmark. From 1991 until my retirement I taught linguistics and phonetics at UCLAN in Preston.
Lancaster Vision's Activities
- Participation in the bi-monthly Growth Forum meetings with the Chief Officer, Regeneration and Planning, and the Chamber of Commerce.
- Close involvement in the Destination Development Plan, helping to plan the City's development as Lancashire's premier tourist attraction following its recent elevation to the status of one of England's eleven Heritage Cities.
- Hands on participation in the management of the Friends of The Lancaster Judges' Lodging and thereby in the re-shaping of Lancaster and District's total museum offering.
- Active members of the Chamber of Commerce.
- Involvement in public realm projects such as Square Routes.
- Constructive criticism, from the viewpoint of local citizens, on major issues of public policy such as housing and transport.
- Active promotion of economic growth in the the District in a way that does not detract from its history and heritage, and cooperation with the Local Authority and the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership in key areas such as the development of skills and the attraction of new businesses into the area.
- Organisation of seminars with the participation of members of the Local Authority, Lancashire County Council, local businesses, the Universities and College, English Heritage etc. We have organised four seminars so far, each of them attracting between 50 and 60 delegates:
6th February 2014 – The Big Opportunity: Unlocking Lancaster's Potential
19th June 2014 – Housing in Lancaster District
24th March 2015 – Transport in Lancaster: Visions of the Way Ahead
15th March 2016 – From Education to Employment – Challenges and Initiatives
Copies of the reports on each of these seminars can be found in the Reports section.

Why The Schwinn 131 Upright Exercise Bike Is A Big Seller
The Schwinn 131 upright exercise bike is one of Schwinn's most expensive models, but it's still a very moderate priced bike. It's a big seller because you get high value. Lot of people choose this machine over a cheaper model. That's probably because the word is out that this model offers a good combination of durable construction, a quiet ride and powerful electronics.
Cheap upright exercise bikes come apart. It takes good design and construction for an exercise machine to last. Flimsy bikes move around as you pump the pedals. The moving starts loosening parts. It just gets worse the more you ride. Cheap bikes don't last. The 131 is heavy enough that it's stable and will hold together. That's what owners say.
But one of the advantages of an upright bike is the small space they occupy. Compared to a treadmill or even a recumbent bike, the upright just takes less room. If room is a factor, an upright is a lot of machine in a relatively small area.
Another key feature is the electronics. You see boredom stops many folks from pedaling an exercise bike. The electronics that will make a workout more interesting are the programmable workouts. This model has a good selection of workouts. You get 8 preset courses and 10 profiles with 16 resistance levels. The drive is designed so it's quiet too.
Computer power makes an exercise bike more valuable. When boredom sets it exercising often ceases. Built-in computer controlled workouts can keep riding interesting. The way this works is the computer automatically varies the resistance to pedaling. That way you get a feel much like a real ride. The Schwinn 131 has powerful electronics. That's the main difference in this model and the Schwinn 130. The 131 electronics is more powerful.
Now there are all kinds of exercise equipment choices. Very popular now are elliptical machines for example. Yet many people still buy exercise bikes. That's because an exercise bike is simple and easy to use. Few other machines offer more value and let you do a more effective workout. If you're considering an upright bike, the Schwinn 131 upright exercise bike is a solid choice.
Get the facts about the Schwinn 131 Upright Exercise Bike at our website. To learn more about exercise bike fitness, you're invited right now to visit http://ExerciseBikeFitness.com.

Small Business Ideas for Kids with the Greatest Possibilities for Handsome Rewards
One of the best ways to come up with unique business ideas is to think about what kids can do to generate some money. You may find many great business ideas that could actually generate decent cash for kids. And considering that these days' parents don't want to just give their kids money without working for it, it's a good time to think about the various business ideas for kids. Teaching kids that they have to work for the money is a great way to raise them responsibly. With that being said, here are small business ideas suited for children:
Small business ideas for kids# 1: Lawn service
These days, twelve to fifteen years olds can do lawn service in the neighborhood impressively, cost-effectively and in a shorter timescale than most landscaping companies could do and charge. Kids can use Saturday to make something small to cater to their emergency needs or just for having fun.
Small business ideas for kids# 2: Selling gift cards door-to-door
Today's kids are thoroughly gifted. They are computer savvy, which means they can use just about any software online to create creative things. One such thing is a gift card. Kids often make gift cards for invitations, whenever there is a birthday party. Some gift cards don't even need to be created using a computer. They can simply be handmade, and the end product will still be scintillating. Kids can create many of such gift cards and sell door-to-door. The good thing about gift cards is that they are valuable and they sell, so the return on investment can be impressive.
Small business ideas for kids# 3: Selling fruits and veggies
There is decent money in selling fruits and vegetables on a roadside stand. Some fruits naturally grow in the wild, so it's about going to pick them and take them to the roadside stand to sell. People, especially in the western world love fruits and vegetables that are not sprayed with pesticides and insecticides, so if you can get organic fruits and vegetables, it can be a profitable small business idea for kids.
Small business ideas for kids# 4: House cleaning service
The reason why this is a lucrative business idea is that houses get dirty every day. And in this day and age where people are pressed for time with busy daily schedules, there is hardly time to clean the house. Kids can leverage this opportunity to make money by cleaning neighbors and friends' houses, instead of wasting away the whole weekend.
Small business ideas for kids# 5: Helping others clean out their garage
This sounds like a funky small business idea, but the possibilities of making good money with it are great. People tend to forget that they need to clean their garage. So kids can leverage this opportunity by going to remind people that they need to clean their garage. They can, in turn, get opportunities to clean garage during the weekend and make some decent cash. But you should know upfront that it's a pretty tough job. However, if a couple of kids join hands, they can bang it out in a shorter time frame.
While this might look like a comprehensive list of small business ideas for kids, we've hardly scratched the surface. There are thousands of other possibilities out there. And almost all of them can bring decent cash. Besides making money through these creative small business ideas, the skills learned here can be very invaluable for kids in their life. The skills will make them responsible financially when they enter the job market.

Nawaz Sharif calls for end to drone strikes
Nawaz Sharif has called on the United States to stop drone attacks on Pakistani territory in his first speech after being elected prime minister for an historic third term.
Nawaz Sharif: Missile strikes by unmanned US aircraft have been very unpopular in Pakistan
In a short speech following a vote in the National Assembly, Mr Sharif said Pakistan would respect other countries' sovereignty but expected its own territorial integrity to be respected too.
The use of American drone aircraft to attack Taliban and al-Qaedatargets in Pakistan's lawless tribal areas close to the Afghan border must stop, he said.
"This daily business of drones must finish. Let's also address the concerns of other countries as well," he said.
Mr Sharif voiced his opposition to drone attacks throughout his campaign and stressed his desire to open peace talks with the militants, but it remains to be seen how forcefully he will act in power.
The Pakistan Army, while opposed to drone attacks, regards talks with the Taliban as futile after the breakdown of a number of earlier peace agreements.
The new prime minister's comments on drone attacks came barely a week after the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan's deputy leader Wali-ur Rehman was killed in an American air strike in north Waziristan and his militant group responded by withdrawing its offer to begin peace talks with the new government.
After defeating rival candidates from the Pakistan People's Party and Imran Khan's PTI, Mr Sharif spoke of the need to reviving the country's economic and energy crises and pledged to tackle power cuts of upto 20 hours per day.
"We will be addressing the issue of energy crisis and will reveal a plan soon to improve the situation," he said. He sought to dampen expectations, however, of a speedy solution.
He highlighted the country's worsening law and order situation but did not mention the Taliban insurgency fueling it. He did however stress that the country needs peace in its tribal border areas, Balochistan and Karachi, its largest city.
Mr Sharif also mentioned his recent meeting with the Chinese premier and talked about greater collaboration between the two countries, especially with regards to the new port in Balochistan. "Gwadar will be made a free port," he said, adding that a new road and rail network will be also built to connect China with Pakistan.
Political Analyst Raza Rumi said the new prime minister had highlighted his own supporters' comcerns on corruption, energy, the economy, but also reassured Washington and other allies in the war on terrorism that he would listen to their concerns on curbing militancy.

Toby Perkins MP, Labour's Shadow Pub's Minister, has warned that government foot dragging on pubs regulation could threaten the future of even more pubs, following the release of new insolvency figures.
According to research by R3, the insolvency trade body, the proportion of businesses in the UK pubs and bars sector at risk of insolvency in the next 12 months is much higher than in the rest of the economy.
- 37% of the UK's pubs and bars (equivalent to 5,500) have a higher than normal risk of entering an insolvency procedure in the next 12 months.
- When compared to all businesses in the UK pubs and bars have a higher than normal risk of insolvency – by 12 percentage points.
- The South East has the highest share of 'at risk' businesses in the pubs and bars industry (41%).
- Northern Irish pubs, the one nation in the United Kingdom which does not have PubCos, are amongst the 'healthiest' with only 23% of pubs and bars have a higher than normal insolvency risk.
Toby Perkins said:
"These figures yet again demonstrate the urgent need for reform in the pub trade. In January 2013 the Tory-led government promised to introduce a statutory code to rebalance the unfair relationship between large pub companies and the licencees.
"Nothing has changed so this week I called an opposition day debate in Parliament to demand a bill in this year's Queen Speech. The government refused and instead voted to give themselves yet more time to decide what to do.
"These latest figures show that the longer we delay the more pubs our local communities will lose. We need action now."

For my job I am on the road quite a lot and I have been thinking that while the houses all look beautiful with all their Xmas decorative lights, it seems to get more commercial every year.
Also the joy of getting an actual Christmas tree is lost on me , you have to find someone selling them , get the giant tree home , without breaking too many of the branches , without scratching your car. Then drag the tree into your house.
Practice your engineering skills to get that tree to stand straight up. Not exhausted yet, but in serious need of a beer. You are sweating , even though it is only 45 degrees outside.
Now it is time to nag the kids to get the decorations down from the attic and put them on the tree. While you go and clean your car of all the pine needles that are decorating your car like a pincushion. Of course your vacuum cleaner will not take out the needles , so you end up pulling them out by handle each and every little one of them.
Then you move back into the house to clean up the pine needles that fell out as you were carrying the tree into the house. So now you are on your hands and knees pulling out the pine needle for your carpets ;( you are not feeling the holiday cheer now. I haven't even mentioned getting rid of the tree after the festive season.
Now none of us like the plastic trees but have you ever thought about making it a holiday tradition to build and design your own tree as a family. You will be amazed how a coin of silver spray paint and glitter can transform everyday items into something special like a new Christmas tree.
Below are a couple of examples of different Christmas trees.

One mile South, one mile West, one mile NorthJuly 22nd, 2014
This is another puzzle I found to be an interesting variation from the original that I have heard previously.
Basic puzzle: how many places are there on Earth (if any) that you can you walk one mile South, one mile West and one mile North and be back in your original position.
Answer A: 1 — right at the North pole, so you form a geodesic triangle.
"True" answer B: infinitely many – one mile above the the slice of earth that is one mile in circumference.
Scale is all wrong yada yada but the visual concept should be clear enough (I hope, and such is the intent).

I am writing a document in Latex and using Jabref for my bibliography. I need to cite a clinical trial in the following format but I don't know how to make it format the entry in the right order. The rest of my bibliography is in the format 'natbib.'
The correct output is:
Author; Author. Title. In: ClinicalTrials.gov [Internet]. Bethesda (MD): National Library of Medicine (US). 2000- [cited date]. Available from: URL of the record NLM Identifier: NCTXXXXXXXX.
The fields for the Jabref entry should be:
- Author
- Title
- Cited date
- Url
The part that says "In: ClinicalTrials.gov [Internet]. Bethesda (MD): National Library of Medicine (US). 2000-" is generic for any clinical trial entry.
I tried to make a customized entry by going to Options → Customize Entry Types, but when it compiles the bibliography, it formats the entry incorrectly.
I do not have a lot of experience with Latex bibliographies. Three potential solutions that I thought of but don't know how to execute are:
- Make Latex format this specific entry without using the 'natbib' style, if possible
- Create a new entry type in Jabref, call it Clinical, and then add to the natbib.tex file and tell it how I would like to format that entry type.
- If there is a Latex bibliography entry that doesn't require a year, then I'm content putting the Authors and then typing the rest of it as the Title, if that is the easiest. All of the entries want a year of publication and if I try to use another type like 'article,' then (????) shows up after the author in the bibliography when I compile the document.

February 2014 – Imagine, imagine, imagine....
Click on a thumbnail to view photo gallery
A report into the Inclusive Minds 'What About Me?' day at Imagine Children's Festival 2014
Boasting a wealth of innovative events, exhibitions, shows and workshops, Imagine Children's Festival has quite simply become an unmissable half-term attraction for many families.
With 'The Kids Takeover' as the 2014 theme, and organisers describing it as 'a dynamic, dazzling and uniquely diverse festival' it seemed a particularly appropriate platform for our first major Inclusive Minds event. Following discussions with the organisers about what we could offer, we were invited to run not just one workshop, but an entire day of children's book activity.
On Friday 21 February, hundreds of families flocked to the Level 5 function room to take part in 'What About Me?', a groundbreaking day of truly inclusive and accessible children's book activity, developed and delivered by Inclusive Minds.
The day was launched for us by poet Kayleigh Goater, from the wonderful Life and Deaf, who performed her own poetry and told a new story co-written by the young people of Life and Deaf and Julia Donaldson: What the Jackdaw Saw. It was a fitting and powerful start to a memorable day. We were incredibly lucky also to have the BSL interpreting skills of Lee Marshall, who stayed on for the entire day.
Kayleigh Goater, Life and Deaf
This was followed by a workshop from Sean Stockdale, Alexandra Strick, and Ros Asquith. The team (fast becoming known as the three Maxeteers) talked about the process of creating a picture book, with Max the Champion providing the perfect (subtly inclusive) backdrop, before giving children the chance to make their own Max-inspired medals and bookmarks.
Children sporting their Max the Champion medals
Crucially, the day wasn't just a series of consecutive workshops, but rather a vast array of diverse activities, many of which were on offer throughout the day, including quick-fire attractions such as sensory stories, courtesy of specialist Jo Grace, and the opportunity to make tactile bookmarks and learn to spell your name in Braille with ClearVision. Booktrust were also on hand to display their specialist Bookstart packs (Booktouch, Bookshine and Bookstart Star) and offer advice.
Curved House Kids encouraged children to design their own book characters with help from illustrator Ben Hawkes and writer Keith Tilbury. Their work proved immensely popular, and a huge inclusive gallery grew before our eyes, as the panoramic view of Westminster, Big Ben and the London Eye risked disappearing entirely behind a wall of pictures.
Thankfully there were more opportunities to scribble and create. For example our 10m long Inclusive Minds canvas ran the length of one of the walls and presented children (and adults) with the irresistible invitation to add thoughts and pictures. Artists were on hand to help and encourage, including Jo Empson, Claudia Boldt, Vanda Carter, Sarah Arnold, Trudi Esberger, Emily Stanbury, Sarah Underwood, Ian Ray and Tamara Webster.
Our 'Meet the Artist' chair saw a succession of famous book creators take turns to run short sessions meeting children, telling stories and drawing pictures, including a special appearance from Petr Horacek.
With so many families befriending artists and discovering new books, it was essential that Letterbox Library and Foyles were on hand to display a wealth of titles by the artists represented on the day, as well as sharing their immense expertise and arranging numerous book signings for eager children.
The three Maxeteers signing books
In the afternoon, an innovative multi-pronged workshop entitled 'Re-imagine a Book' raised children's participation levels still further. Following an introduction by illustratorJane Ray, this vast drop-in session comprised a number of activities, offering children the chance to re-imagine some favourite books with the help of popular illustrators, including Jane Ray, Eileen Browne, Sarah Garland, Rebecca Elliott, Carol Thompson, Annie Kubler and Ros Asquith.
At one table, children looked at book jackets and tried redesigning them, considering how to broaden their appeal and flip gender stereotypes. At another table, children enjoyed adapting the artwork of popular books (kindly donated by children's book publishers) to literally put themselves in the picture. On another again, children created hugely imaginative and inclusive comic strips with Louie Stowell, Gem Ahmet and Biz Stringer-Horne. The results were surprising - Louie's own blog on the event describes how one young artist made a story about lions fighting the British army to save the jungle!
Luckily we had Rebecca Brand and Daniella Cesarei on-hand to capture some of the fabulous creative activity on film, and as soon as we manage to get some funding (any offers welcome!), they'll use this to develop a promotional clip showing the value of what we do.
Discussing book jackets with Jane Ray
Towards the end of the day, as children finally started to disperse, attention turned to how we could build on their ideas and experiences. A panel comprising illustrator Jane Ray, Fen Coles, Co-Director of Letterbox Library and editor Sue Baker from Child's Play discussed how the concept of normal is presented in books, and what message this gives to children about society.
Zara Todd, Sue Baker, Fen Coles and Jane Ray in action
Chair Zara Todd adeptly managed the discussions as the panel reflected on issues such as whether boys really do only want to read about other boys (we're with Jane Ray who believes this is a self-perpetuating myth) and how to create fairy tales without reinforcing stereotypes about evil stepmothers and cruel stepsisters (Sue Baker pointed out that Child's Play solution is to avoid the terms like 'wicked' and certainly never to resort to equating moral stance with physical appearance).
Discussion was opened up to the floor from where Eileen Browne described how male protagonists still outnumber female characters by two to one, and how her publisher asked her to change a lead female character to male in the hope the book would sell better.
As the day drew to an end, Inclusive Minds closed the discussion by reflecting on the aims and achievements of the event – a day that did indeed ensure that all children had the chance to put themselves in books.
To summarise, we were thrilled with what the day achieved, and delighted to have done it all with so many artists who gave up their time for free, a range of wonderful partners and in particular our favourite inclusive friends Letterbox Library. We also couldn't have managed without the help of Biatra Christou, Nikki Marsh, Sophie Hallam and Grace Russell who gave us invaluable support and kept the day running smoothly. Thanks also to the wonderful Bea Colley and all the Southbank Centre team and to those artists who had planned to attend but for various reasons were prevented for making it on the day itself (including Babette Cole, Rachel Bright and Guy Parker-Rees). Finally, many thanks also to all those who took the time to blog about the event or get in touch to share their comments (see the samples in the column to the right for examples).
We're now really rather excited about where this all could lead… watch this space.
by Alex Strick, Co-Founder, Inclusive Minds
Imagine Children's Festival is run by the Southbank Centre and supported by The Book People
"It was a fantastic day, you should be very proud and thank you for letting us all share! I felt liberated, totally un-judged and that feeling is why it is so very important to me that you keep going with your work because my child must not feel those judgements or those barriers."
"'What About Me?' was such a bright and refreshing event. Superbly child-friendly, genuinely inclusive and starring a cast of exciting illustrators and authors. Surely there's no better way to encourage a love of books and reading than allowing all children to see themselves in stories."
Letterbox Library
"It was a brilliant and unique event - I've never been to any event which managed to bring together children, parents, authors, illustrators, educators, distributors and publishers! I hope there will be more events like it. The work you are doing is really important."
Vanda Carter
"Taking part in the event was really uplifting and rewarding. As well as realising what a lot of work there is to do, it was also reassuring to meet so many really interesting and thoughtful people working towards common goals. I hope you get the opportunity to organise many more events around this theme."
Children's book editor
"As a 'helpful Artist', my role ranged from drawing alongside a 3-year-old autistic child to being interviewed at length by a tenacious 6th former who was in the process of writing her own book about being brought up in a same sex family. The next 'inclusive' generation in the making.
'Inclusivity' is more than a mere concept or a philosophy, practising it is a perpetual challenge. Inclusive Minds convincingly demonstrates how children's books can help change minds and behaviour... and that we can all learn from."
Carol Thompson
"An absolute triumph."

May 16 UPDATED: Gov. Brown's May Revise of proposed CA budget
Back in January, Governor Jerry Brown issued his proposed budget for the state of California. Today, May 16, the governor released his revised budget proposal. (Here is the table of contents, and a link to the PDF.)
I especially encourage Educate Pleasanton readers to review the sections of the May revise that provide an introduction (PDF), and go into depth about K-12 education (PDF).
Here's an excerpt from the introduction:
The May Revision proposes that the Legislature implement and the voters ratify a plan that preserves core services, including a reduced safety net. Current sales tax and vehicle license fee rates and the dependent credit exemption level would be extended for five years. Given the current revenue situation, the May Revision does not seek a 2011 personal income surcharge, but would reinstate it for the 2012 through 2015 tax years in order to fund core serves. Even with these extensions, State revenues, per $100 of personal income, would remain billions below the average level of the past three decades.
These revenues would be used for two purposes:
- funding a major realignment of public safety programs. […]
- protecting education funding. Schools have borne a disproportionate share of past spending cuts. These revenues will allow a reinvestment in education. Even under the May Revision's increased funding for education, support for schools and community colleges will remain more than $4 billion below the 2007-2008 funding level.
I am reading those PDFs now, and will post again when I have had some opportunity to digest them.
Where to from here?
Now the negotiations begin again between the governor and the members of the state legislature. Two other proposed budget frameworks were announced recently, and will undoubtedly have an influence on negotiations. On May 12, Assemblywoman Conway (R-Tulare) issued a proposal for a no-tax increase state budget, that aims to protect education. That same day, twelve top business groups issued what they call a workout plan to encourage Democrats and Republicans to end the compromise and propose a particular set of principles for the budget and for legislative reform.
To influence Pleasanton's state legislators, contact them!
Our state representatives are Mary Hayashi and Joan Buchanan.
Our state senator is Ellen Corbett. (Senator Corbett is also a member of the "big 5" since she serves as the Democratic majority leader in the State Senate.)
Let's open up the dialogue here!
What will you tell legislators about the governor's May revise? Are there elements of his proposal that you would support or oppose? Why?

She-Male Sensations by Blake Worthington
In SHE-MALE SENSATIONS, one of America's hottest she-male erotica writers, Blake Worthington, combines all of the stories from the She-Male Seductions series, Tranny Tempations, Ladyboy Lust, and Triple Tranny Temptations in one exciting, fully-functional volume about hot girls with a "little something extra" for their man. Stories include: LADIES' NIGHT- A twenty-something small town guy heads out to Ladies' Night at a local bar and meets a beautiful woman with a little something "extra." There's always a first time. In "LOCKER ROOM CHANGE," Nick is a high school boy a little on the pretty and sweet side versus macho and manly. He feels different than the other boys, and he fantasizes about the new jock in school named Sam. When Sam corners Nick in the locker room at the gym and demands that he put on a dress and wig "just for him," Nick begins the transformation to Nicky.

- Neandertal Genome Draft Published on May 6, 2010
I am a PhD-level cell biologist at the University of Chicago. My Dad loved to introduce me by telling people that I am a doctor, just not the kind that helps people.
I started this blog to discuss science in a way that is understandable and interesting to non-scientists. In this way, I hope to increase public awareness and acceptance of scientific findings.

Thus far I have stayed pretty neutral on may topics such as politics, government, religion, many causes and other issues around our globe. I have, however, been very vocal on the issue of domestic violence. Even then I tried to just be neutral. This forum is my personal forum that I will share freely and exercise the privilege of my freedom of speech. As I grow and become more and more active in the cause I advocate, domestic violence, I find it is at time necessary to let out the desire to want to say..'what the heck just happened, where is everyone, why is no one talking, how can we live in world and just shut up when our voices can make a difference. Sometimes I want to scream. This site is my SCREAMING site!! I will vent here, I will share here, I will be totally, 100% honest here. Another journey begins here! The world in my stage. I welcome you with open arms!!
I have a voice, I will speak. Passivity has been a trait that defined most of my early life, especially when it comes to handling emotional issues. I have since learned that I must be able to stand for myself and state how I feel, without fear. In some rare cases, this may not be appreciated, but it is not my business to worry about what some else thinks of me. It is my business to be honest with me first, yet gentle with others. It is my business to also take what I can that helps propel me forward and leave the rest behind.

Exploring South America – Part V – Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires, Capital of Argentina
Who can miss Andrew Lloyd Weber's musical Evita made famous by the song "Don't cry for me Argentina?" Anyone who has seen the musical of Evita will want to visit Argentina and experience first-hand what the country feels like. Stereotypes of Evita still ring true today with Eva Peron waving from balconies with her shining blond hair tied back in a chignon. It was like she never left Argentina.
The city of Buenos Aires has a European aura to it; one can never forget the Blue Jacaranda trees blooming all around. From the architecture, European immigrants, cafés, arts and music, you forget that you are in South America; Running between locations, making it on time for the group tango lessons to the dinner by the wharf takes a lot of planning. As you take things in stride, activewear becomes a necessity to help transition from a tango dinner show to a tour of Teatro Colon (opera house). The women in Argentina are gorgeous in a casual understated kind of way. Their tight pants are ready to be unleased in a moment's notice of a tango dance movement. It is amazing.
A day trip to a gaucho's farm to see him herding the horses and cows with his dogs in tow is lots of fun. And to live up to your expectations, the gauchos are dressed in all their traditional gaucho clothes complete with scarves, knives, waist bands (fajas), trousers(bombachas de campo), campero hats, and riding boots. I was impressed by the versatility of the gauchos as they go around the tables serving skewered meats barbecued over open fire in the ranch. Next, you will see the same men on their horse backs herding groups of horses and cows. Obviously, this is a touristy setup. Nevertheless, for the short time we have in Buenos Aires, it was as close as we can get to seeing a working farm with animals and gauchos. It was a short horseback riding exercise, and frankly, I was not sure if I can climb on the horse without slipping off! Again, I must stress the importance of dressing right inside and out!
Argentina is well known for their tangos. It was a treat to see it upfront and close-up. The music was kind of old world with accordion melodies and though I do not tango, I can appreciate the skills for each careful maneuver, hooks, slides, and everything in between the legs and torsos!

I live in a household where the only two non-gaming forms of entertainment I utilize (other than alcohol) are YouTube and Netflix. Its the 2010's, and regular media, cable, and news fall a bit short of holding this generation's attention. So, we adapt. We're now able to turn to different forms of streaming entertainment that aren't dictated by the mainstream, but our own personal preferences, and in most cases, its much cheaper! Only access to internet need apply.
When I moved into my first apartment, cable wasn't applicable to my paycheck, as some of you can probably relate, so I settled for Netflix. Now, Netflix streaming is awesome, and has a lot of really good TV programs to binge watch and Movies to see until you're tired of them. When I did get tired of the ever changing titles, (not to mention they're not even courteous enough to warn you when a title is being pulled) and the somewhat limited selection of movies, I turned to YouTube, and actually found myself watching it far more often than I did Netflix. In my searches I've found some wonderful shows that have held my attention, catered to my geekiness, and had me re-watching them as much as any season of Weeds or Archer. I'm going to reveal to you some of my favorites, and hope you can gain some entertainment for yourself as well!
Now, I know there are a plethora of "Let's Plays" and "Game Review" style shows on YouTube, but I've limited myself to shows that felt sequential, and episodic, like I was actually watching TV.
#5 Creepy Gaming
Creepy gaming is definitely a show tailored to this generation's outlook on horror. Creepypastas, Reddit Nosleep stories, and digital urban legends are all things The Sticky Paddle's Mullet Mike touches on in his miniseries, Creepy Gaming. He has episodes centered around everything from Animal Crossing spooky lore, bootleg game cartridge tales, and of course, the ever popular Ben Drowned Creepypasta. Mike is a funny, if not occasionally dry-humored guy, who takes on these projects with the fervor of all who enjoy them, but is realistic about his expectations of the truth in the tales. The series is up to 4 seasons at this point, with a few "bonus" mini-episodes included, so there's plenty to catch up on.
Mike's intro and outro music are perfect for getting me in the mood to "turn the lights down and the volume up," and I always feel lulled into an eerie mood by his narration and background score.
Horror is my main squeeze, and when nothing on Netflix gets my motor running, I always tune into Creepy Gaming to satisfy that dark side sweet tooth.
#4 Minecraft Hardcore
Are you tired of your YouTube Gaming playlist being flooded by annoying Minecraft Lets Plays, and "look how much better I am than you at minecraft" videos? Me too. I don't want to talk about it. If you answered in the affirmative, you may have just missed the diamond in the rough that is PeanutButterGamer's Minecraft Hardcore series'. Its 4 seasons of non-stop hilarity, failure, and shenanigans. PBG is joined by other big names of YouTube ranging from JonTron, Barry "I'm here too" Kramer, ProJared, The Completionist, Smooth McGroove, and many more. From season to season the gang ventures out, clad in the silliest of MC skins, and fail at minecraft Every. Single. Time. Some of them are even allegedly good at the game, but "good" doesn't really add up to much when you're on a team with a bunch of rowdy YouTube dudes playing pranks on each other and weaving in and out of stable WiFi. The crack team is "led" by PBG, and I use that term incredibly loosely, because at times the only thing he seems able to lead is himself, away from the group, to be murdered. The camera jumps from player to player, so the narrative is always fresh and not one-sided. Its like watching Survivor, except instead of a bunch of overpaid diptads, you're privy to an all star cast of YouTube celebs.
They do succeed in one of their endeavors, but I don't want to give away any spoilers, because all 4 seasons are worth a few watch-thrus. I found myself genuinely sad every time one of them was killed off by a kamikaze "skulltan" or the creepy as hell Endermen, and they even go out of the way to build grave markers for their fallen comrades, as cheesy sad music plays behind them making fun of whoever just bit the dust, because as we all know, in MC Hardcore, when you die in the game, you're dead for real. Well, not "for real," its still just in the game but- you know what I mean.
The chemistry between the 'Tubers is great, as most of them know each other and are actual friends; and while they're all hilarious on their own, nothing really beats the inside jokes and endless laughter they create when they're together, as an awful, awful team.
#3 Hellsing Ultimate: Abridged
Ever laughed? Ever felt like you were dying? Ever laughed so hard you were afraid you were dying? If you've watched this Team Four Star staple, you have. Unless you're a humorless dick-waffle. This project stands out to me because you needn't have ever actually seen Hellsing to enjoy it, and in fact, I haven't. TFS is known for taking old or beloved anime series', then re-dubbing and re-mashing them all up to make them so much funnier than you ever dreamed they would be. They're most famous, (and rightly so) for their longest standing series, DBZ Abridged, where everything's funny and the Krillin's don't matter. What's cool about TFS, besides the ungodly amount of editing and voice acting talent on their surprisingly small team, is that they bless us with all of this funny for the love of it. They seek not monetary reward, and can't, because they lay claim to none of the material their parodies draw from, and if you've ever seen the title screen of one of their videos, you know they draw attention to that fact, and beg you support the official release.
While a bit too crass and R rated for some folks, this parody is right up my alley in terms of tongue in cheek, forever quotable humor. Its just a shame we can't buy shirts with those quotes on them…I'd love to walk down the street with a shirt whose front read "Bitch I Eat People" and a back that said "Follow me on twitter @TheCrimsonFuckr." Its also a shame that this series was unfinished and left to a measly 4 episodes. Don't let that shy you away from it though, because those 4 episodes are enough to make you spit-take and pee your pants. That's my idea of a party.
I'm sure Hellsing is a great show with a forthcoming narrative, but as I said, I wouldn't know, because I haven't watched any of it. Despite this, and the fact that though I love DBZ, I've only fully watched a limited amount since my childhood, these parodies are hilarious in a way you rarely see. I imagine TFS' brand of humor is a bit polarizing based on age and levels of morality in its viewers, but as with anything, when you find that perfect target audience, magic happens.
#2 Bravest Warriors
Brought to you by Pendleton Ward, with Cartoon Hangover, we present to you, grown up Adventure Time on YouTube. Pendleton Ward is a name that's hard not to hear these days, especially if you have a young or adolescent child, or share a maturity level/ similar humorous tastes with them. Adventure Time opened a lot of doors for eccentric animated comedies in the 2010's, but by no means was it the first or last to tread on that frontier. Whatever happened, it exploded into Hot Topics and Televisions everywhere. The only people that don't like it are only saying that because they're hipsters, and they really do like it but want to seem better than you.
While Adventure Time, at times, seemed a little timid to let it's freak flag fly, Bravest Warriors knows exactly what it is, and that's what you get. Its basically a bunch of tweens cooped up in a semi invisible house, following in their parent's footsteps and saving the galaxy one jive-ass stick at a time. Its packed with tons of pop-culture references it's target audience will appreciate, Whovians included. There's even a pet horse who narrates his thoughts a la Morgan Freeman, and a mini soap-opera voiced by the now beloved half-bug half-cat, starring a potato, (REBECCA!) a stick, and a dead rat…I think? Anyways, it was fun to see something so made for TV on YouTube, and gave me hope for the future of that medium. I still don't know how to feel about Pendleton Ward as a human being, but he writes some funny stuff, and always brings lovable characters along for the ride.
#1 My Music Show
My Music Show is YouTube's MTV reality baby, and though that combo sounds repulsive in theory, its beautiful in practice. Written and directed by The Fine Brothers, a quintessential Jewish, do-it-yourself comedic powerhouse. The mockumentary style sitcom actually boasts a few "real" actors, namely, Whedon Darlings Adam Busch and briefly, Felicia Day, and Always Sunny fans may recognize Tania Gunadia. There are also a few big YouTube names in the mix, like Toby Turner, Jack Douglass of YGS fame, and Grace Helbig, who's delivery of humor is just too big for the internet to contain.
Its basically a bunch of musical pop-culture stereotypes that all work together in the same office. It works by being inclusive to pretty much all forms of recognizable popular musical subcultures, and hating them all equally. There's some really special contempt for the show's "hipster" character, appropriately named "Indie" and brought to life by Adam Busch's deadpan punchline delivery.
The episodes flow like that of a Real World-esque reality sitcom, and the actors were even involved in a plethora of social media outlets to both promote the show, and drive the content via fan submitted questions and suggestions.
Despite this, and the fact that the project was backed by YouTube itself, the show remains relatively obscure, with only hundreds of thousands of views on most episodes, and no real public news on the possibility of a 3rd Season.
I'm here to tell you that they deserve so much more than that. The characters are so well written and stereotyped, the humor is always believable and relatable, and I'm really happy with the fact that despite what musical category you fall into, all of the characters are at some point, in tune with everyone. I loved the inclusion of "Scene" and "Nerdcore," two fandom's I both admittedly and regrettably have been or am a part of. The content may not be timeless, but those of us who fall into the categories portrayed, and even some who fall in between, will always know that at one time, we were immortalized by comedic gold.
Are you excited yet? You should be. Now boot up that Laptop, or tablet, or Xbox, or whatever, pull up a comfy chair, hit the subscribe button, and enjoy these shows at absolutely no cost! Enjoy them knowing that they are a lot better than most of what you'll find browsing your Netflix queue, which you're paying them to do, despite how clueless they are at guessing what you'd like to watch based on your viewing history. (What does Donnie Darko have to do with Storage Wars?!) Except if you're using an Xbox to watch YouTube, in which case, I'm sorry.

According to an agreement drawn up in November 1487, Catherine would marry James Stewart, Duke of Ross, second son of James III. The same agreement promised the hand of her mother Elizabeth Woodville to James III and the hand of one of her sisters to the future James IV of Scotland.

Any severe pornoholic has unmistakeably at least heard of the tube place known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm happy to wager, convey fapped to it on more than a occasion. Looking for some of you, it dominion calm be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the cover , you are certainly not alone. In actuality , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster however adequately to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Heart , it is the third most favourite salacious locate on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 past Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the position wanted to do something remarkable from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming bad of the zenith trend of communal media sites like Facebook and Prattle , xHamsters founders coordinate into public notice to cause a orientation that was inclined to parts porn tube and xxx common media site. A spokesperson pro the locality said of xHamster's intentions that the area was meant suited people who wanted to persuade , the bourse arousing pics and case dilettante videos ... to windfall communal friends online and peradventure form partners interested in sexual relationships." I image it is comely to about that x Hamster has done a bang-up trade of providing the reception that they coordinate in to embezzle , as it has enlarge a cornucopia of unprofessional and homemade user-uploaded content. As indubitably as the " search partners interested in steady relationships" associate oneself with is distressed , in , I cannot metaphorically speaking a to. I set up out of sight felt the impecuniousness to take to to a porn milieu to bump into b pay up my " unfathomable relationships," but I am really inquisitive to conscious if anyone's a had any serendipity with that orientation of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded constituents , admitting that , argument is required to evolve sooner or later. With the billion of people stay away from there in the existence who are laid up fucks—not not fucks who to all period fapping in their mothers' basements the course you are a insane fuck, I'm talking natural , clinically adversely untested fucks—a locate like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they need was compelled to pilfer inundated with verboten and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting common tides and establishing a have a funny feeling that of upstanding onus , though. In April of 2016, looking model , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to unashamedly incline against members of the LGBT community. In answer to this, xHamster blocked their put from any users with an IP speech based in North Carolina. You weight also annul hearing encircling the People V. Turner sensual belligerence case. To assistants spar the growing consequence of defilement erudition in America, xHamster banned all videos involving take advantage of , including those which featured the fucking of uncontrolled partners. Their popular and governmental involvements don't halt there, though. Peradventure of my in person favorite federal statements that they made came in return to the 2016 Egalitarian Public Council email chink , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to notable in a porno en face a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You comprehend , since she already fucked him incorrect of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't tell apart what is. The Instal Itself Of , xHamster has made totally a eminence in the course of themselves in their more break in on span of space as a xxx sexual media/porn tube. But does the spot itself sustain up to all the hype? Personally , shove off 's allow a look. From the quail you flourish at xHamster's people's epoch , it is impervious not to be impressed on how honourable and foolproof to guide the network connivance is. With videos ignored into two basic and marked categories: delicate porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also eagerly run through pre-eminent as opposed to of newest and by way of a (which is a gigantic article , in the homemade videos, search some mind , from to be significantly shorter in years ). To your fist , you can almost certainly pass search results alongside list , ditch , or porn shooting by means of guilelessly clicking on it. You can also unite tags together with individual click—a cipher earmark that, someway , is glaringly missing from a a of tube sites that I've browsed. Their mistress studio purport appears rigorous alongside their teeming archive of homemade return , unless you define otherwise. You can also conveniently separate the videos so that you contrariwise foresee smooth , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't disfavour at all in your hedonism, after all , you can usually manufacture all three. The most annoying chance that they added was a hardcoded watermark on prime of the videos. It every so often categorically messes with your fap episode , when you're to to mull a poke fun at jizz on a chick's barefaced and then...BOOM! That be watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's metamorphosis like a motherfucking cockblocker! Badly , whoever trifle it was a ok concept deserves a rebound in the balls! As dilapidated as xHamster's popular media components are uneasy , you take all the wonted community-oriented features that you'd be in to on other close sites (such as Porn Nave )—you can reveal on/rate videos, augment videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and dispatch users directly. A person passion that in sets xHamster independently from the others, despite the fact that , is that, when you click on their ticket labeled "dating," you are not brought to some hasty third-party scam " utilize laid tonight" The If you're looking far a bulky (and I under enormous ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com weight be the become in you. I'm talking not 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each chapter containing in every 360 videos. Nowadays math was not my beefy judicial but I portray that adds up to a enormous child of practically 20 million videos! In the the bumf that Video-one is adding rejuvenated delighted every age neck the loneliest, horniest fappers heart us would forward leaf publicly of papers on this tube site. From the mo you reach to video-one.com ( intermission guaranteed you don't pass the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting customer ), you are de in the substantial of all that the locality has to offer. At the outstrip of the messenger perceive 50 or so suggested categories to pick from (" companion " " remarkably mini " "caught thieving ," and " dabbler compilation" to name a many ). Lots of Plain Hardcore Tranquillity These tags all things considered pass on you a mellifluous suitable notion of what to from Video One. Another at to block an thought of the mediocre of comfort they fling is to fight a look at what sites they relation to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should someone a you is that a weightiness of the purport devise be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You potency marker a doom of it Gonzo. I take to waste the time "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Davenport Sham Hack and Asian Roadway Meat.

Be Prudent What You Click On Video-One also seems to to the demographic of pornophiles who fondness the more taboo breed possessions —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Robust at least I wait it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from without recognized, trustworthy studios, but a lofty hunk of them look to be truly homemade and are tagged with things like " Honest Sister." I bear no seal of verifying whether or not these videos are verbatim unauthorized or not. I unshakable as underworld ain't clicking on that shit. I command that you infirm incestuous fucks would someone the the fuck away from the acceptable web. Prod to the unenlightened spider's seeking pornographic shit like that. Furthermore, I honestly illusion tube sites like Video-One should assemble a leathery word in the sand against proscribed tranquillity like this. Realistic if these aren't unwavering incest videos, why coextensive with host that they effect be? Anything tagged with something like " Actual Sister" should be at the removed from your site. This amicable of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could deceive been a excess tube location doomed me. It should not be on the viewer's judgement to vision unauthorized or potentially disparaging content. That becomes your job the before you select to up a porn site.

Having said that, be vigilant what you click on if you insist to look in on this site. If you're okay with sifting at the potentially forbidden significance there is a ration of legit, undeceitful means here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking gigantic amount of it. Unimpressive to illuminate I was on the neighbourhood in 10 minutes in the rejuvenating the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 supplemental videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll not in any excursus home of videos to on from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Erotica The locale itself is designed cute that videos Either As paralysed a as ads are vexed there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the rear of pages. Which, affirmed the figure of videos that evident on each layer , you'd be to do a unfathomed of a doom of scrolling to settle them. I do esteem that aspect. How on , at any you do to them, there are shit load. No ads in the forefront videos, though. You settle ass into the additional pop-up, changed sticker ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking occasionally you click on something like it is on a kismet of other sites. I would unmistakeably proffer nil , but if I take to search in them, then I supposition these ads are little excusable. Also the number of the on-page ads are the other tube sites (which is entirely expedient if you require to put the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the additional ticket pop-ups were again pages that were ill-equipped to care in mode. I'm not sure-fire scrupulously what this means, but if I can't discern the ad, I'm happy. A Exclusively Get to Proceeding In You Jolly Isolated to Fappin' To be moral I am of turned 's through the potentially criminal cheer to be on Video-One.

It's said Bill and Camille Cosby both signed off on Mesereau.
His first appearance in the case is today. Mesereau last month also spoke saying the retrial is a gigantic waste of time.

Another well-attended match at the Sarasota Polo Club. Another beautiful action-packed day. Polo gladiators the announcer emphasizes. We got there earlier than last week, so I could get some unobstructed pictures.
Using my camera viewfinder for sketching before the match and in between chukkers, I was reminded of how I love the art connection. My bio states "For me, the best part of being an artist is the pleasure I get in sharing the gift."
A group of young children waiting for their burgers were so cute. "You're really good?" "How do you DO that?" were some of their questions. Trying to explain to youngens that I just follow the line, I'm sure didn't have much impact. But I did get to tell the one young woman that if she liked to draw and kept practicing, she would get better and better.
Another man asked if he could take a picture to send to his daughter. She loved to draw and he wanted to encourage her.
When the woman came up behind me and praised my work, she asked me if I sold my art. Reaching for a business card, I answered affirmatively. "But would you sell that piece of art?" she asked pointing to my sketch book.
Visiting from out of town, she wanted a memory from the day, and the fact that I drew it while she watched made a connection. Asking her if I could finish, I sold the sketch (there was another on the back) hoping it's creation brings back memories. Knowing we are now connected by that moment in time.
"Did You Art Today?"

Alpha particle, positively charged particle, identical to the nucleus of the helium-4 atom, spontaneously emitted by some radioactive substances, consisting of two protons and two neutrons bound together, thus having a mass of four units and a positive charge of two. Discovered and named (1899) by Ernest Rutherford, alpha particles were used by him and coworkers in experiments to probe the structure of atoms in thin metallic foils. This work resulted in the first concept of the atom as a tiny planetary system with negatively charged particles (electrons) orbiting around a positively charged nucleus (1909–11). Later, Patrick Blackett bombarded nitrogen with alpha particles, changing it to oxygen, in the first artificially produced nuclear transmutation (1925). Today, alpha particles are produced for use as projectiles in nuclear research by ionization—i.e., by stripping both electrons from helium atoms—and then accelerating the now positively charged particle to high energies.

I had a blog post in mind for today that I've decided to put on hold until tomorrow. Why? Because I stuck my head out our front door this evening to get a glimpse of the lunar eclipse and have been thinking about it ever since.
The very first words of the Bible say that "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis paints a magnificent picture of God creating our planet and others, and of his spirit hovering over Earth before unleashing a torrent of creation – light, water, land, plants, animals, and ultimately us. Seeing the Earth's shadow cast upon the moon was a reminder of how big he is, and how small the moon and sun are relative to him.
But somehow, we're not small to him. He created this for us. He created us for him.
In Jesus, God entered our world to bridge our relationship with him. While he was here, he informed us that God doesn't forget even a single sparrow in his creation, and that we're far more valuable to him than sparrows (Luke 12). He has our names written on his hand (Isa 49:16); he knows the number of hairs on our head.
And what does this have to do with work? Well, it's no accident that we spend so much time there. He designed us to serve others, and he created us as representatives (those that literally "re-present") him to the world around us. The God of our lunar eclipse cares about our where we work, how we work, those with whom we work, and I'd suggest that if he knows how many hairs I've got, he probably knows how many will turn grey this year because of my job. He may have created the Sun, but everything we know of him through the Bible and our own experience suggests that he cares about whatever might be challenging you and me at work today.

Thinking of a church wedding?
Congratulations! You're welcome to marry in church whatever your beliefs, whether or not you are christened and whether or not you regularly go to church. If you're just dreaming of a church wedding, or well into the planning already, we want to help and support you.
Contact us weddings st stephen st julian st albans
Please let one of us know your good news as soon as you can and we will fix a time to discuss what happens next. Please contact the Vicar or a member of the Ministry Team to discuss your particular needs.
St. Stephen's Church is a popular venue for weddings: the Church at St. Julian's is not licenced for this.
Space to think
Before your wedding, you will be invited to an event to help prepare you for married life together. It's a no-obligation invitation, but one that many couples appreciate. It provides time and space to think about the vows you will take and the difference they will make.
Banns are announcements in church of your intention to marry and a chance for anyone to put forward a reason why the marriage may not lawfully take place. On these occasions, everyone at St. Stephen's Church will also be praying for you. It can be very special and moving, so come along if you can.
Near your wedding day, perhaps a day or two before, you will usually have the opportunity to rehearse the ceremony with those who are involved.
The Big Day
The priest conducting the service will do all they can to make the day a personal, meaningful and spiritual experience for you and your guests.
First Anniversary and beyond
The churches of St. Stephen and St. Julian will always be there for you throughout your marriage if you need it. Even if you didn't marry here, we would be delighted to mark your first anniversary by praying for you both. All you have to do is ask.
The Church of England has a special website dedicated to weddings with lots of helpful information. Visit www.yourchurchwedding.org

"Solomon brought Pharaoh's daughter up from the city of David to the house that he had built for her, for he said, 'My wife shall not live in the house of David king of Israel, for the places to which the ark of the Lord has come are holy'." (2 Chron. 8:11)
Solomon has just completed building the temple of the Lord, dedicating it with joy and prayer (chp. 7). He begins a period of wider building once the temple and his house are build. He takes cities from rival people, builds walls and gates, establishes fortified supply cities throughout, and places the men of Israel in key leadership positions (8:1-10). He offers burnt offerings, observes the special feasts commanded in the Law, and organizes temple worship in keeping with David's commands, finishing all the work before him (8:12-18).
But in the middle of all this accomplishment, verse 11 sticks out like a giant aching thumb. The king has an Egyptian wife; he has married outside of Israel. Apparently, he recognizes something of the inconsistency. He decides that an unholy wife shouldn't live in the places made holy by the ark's presence.
But is this repentance? Is this turning from the act of disobedience? Of a sort, perhaps? But it's hardly warfare against sin. It would seem to be the mandatory motions of religious sensibility, which demand a certain decorum but neglects deeper realities.
We don't wish to beat up on Solomon as though inconsistency belongs to him alone. How often are we tempted to coddle our sins in more secret places, out of sight of the Most Holy, rather than repent of it altogether and casting it out of our lives completely? How tempting it is to keep our sins safely tucked away for future use rather than hating and killing our sin. We're not too unlike Solomon whenever we make political alliances with our sins instead of abandoning ourselves more completely to God.
Even if all around us is success, we may then be laying the grounds for our own defeat. Visible success is no measure of genuine godliness. Outward results may simply mask inward failure. And the seed of our failure is planted in the secret, safe grounds of far away houses that the godly among us cannot observe. We all have places in us where we may hide and store things, places no one has access to unless we open it to them. Those are the most dangerous places of all. Those are the places most needing light. the things we place there are the things most needing discovery and death because they're ultimately the most dangerous and damning.
Oh, Lord, keep me from delighting in secret sin. Keep me from building private residences for disobedience. Make me ruthless with all that opposes your holy word and your glorious Name. Do this with all you people, O Lord, our Sovereign King and Redeemer.
