Gallant Journey1946
Gallant Journey (aka The Great Highway) is a 1946 American historical film written, produced and directed by William A. Wellman and starring Glenn Ford and Janet Blair. The film is a biopic of the early U.S. aviation pioneer John Joseph Montgomery. Gallant Journey depicts his efforts to build and fly gliders, from his childhood through to his death in 1911. The chief stunt pilot for the film was Paul Mantz.
When Father Dick Ball (Charles Kemper) in San Diego, California, recalls his childhood friend, John Joseph Montgomery (Glenn Ford), he recounts the story of the first American to ever fly a glider in 1883. As early as 1879, John told his girlfriend Regina Cleary (Janet Blair) about his dreams of flying, although his family was very much opposed to this idea and considered him a fool. Regina believed in him, and secretly supported his work, until the first test flight in 1883, which was successful. John named his flying machine an "aeroplane".
John's prominent father, Zachary Montgomery, who had become Assistant Attorney General of the United States, was keen on keeping his reputation intact. When he received news of his son's endeavors, he told him to stop his foolishness and continue his clergy studies instead.
Father Ball became interested in John's work and supported his research and experiments. Another priest, Father Kenton (Arthur Shields), turned out to be an aviation enthusiast, and helped John with his inventions, arranging a job for him at a Santa Clara workshop.
John continued his work for a few years, and built several model aircraft, preparing for a full-scale test flight. The only thing standing in his way is a medical condition making him dizzy and causing him to collapse. He is told by a doctor that he will never be able to fly safely suffering from this illness. John is disappointed, but his confidence is renewed when he encounters the parachute enthusiast and performer Dan Mahoney, who offers to pull the glider up in the air with his hot air balloon. The two fathers help John to complete a successful test flight with his new glider. Unfortunately his poor finances prevent him from pursuing his passion for flying any longer, even though many people show their interest in his work.
A series of misfortunes and unfortunate events serve as additional discouragement for John, when Dan crashes and dies during a test flight, and an earthquake destroys his glider. Still John manages to scrape together $25,000 by selling his valuable belongings. He marries Regina, but is later dragged into court by a man who claims to be the rightful owner of an object John sold to get his money. The lengthy trial consumes all of John's money, but the judge rules in his favor at the end.
John decides to give flying one more go and builds his own new glider design. He decides to fly it himself. In mid-air he gets a dizzy spell, loses control and crashes to the ground. He dies from his injuries a few hours later.
Principal photography on Gallant Journey took place from March 4 to June 1, 1946. The locations in use were Malibu, Del Monte and the movie ranch at Lasky Mesa, California.[1] Wellman had a passion for flying which was expressed in a number of his films including Wings (1927) which won the first Academy Award for Best Picture, Young Eagles (1930), Central Airport (1933), Men with Wings (1938) and Thunder Birds (1942).[2]
Gallant Journey had its beginnings with the San Diego Junior Chamber of Commerce which had obtained the film rights to a biography on John Montgomery.[3][Note 1] A number of realistic gliders and balloons were built for the film. A total of 11 gliders that reproduced Montgomery's original three gliders were built. In an attempt to duplicate the balloon launch of a glider at altitude, the stunt nearly was disastrous when the balloon suddenly flew uncontrollably up to 16,000 ft before the test pilot was able to control the gas release valve and bring the balloon back down to the intended 4,000 ft. The sequence was then shot safely.[4]
The test pilots discovered that the original designs produced for the film that carefully followed the authentic Montgomery designs had to be redesigned in order to ensure safety and stability in flight. The redesigned gliders flew so well that they qualified for a Civil Aviation Authority license to fly. A series of model gliders were also created for use in Gallant Journey.[4]
Gallant Journey had its world premiere at San Diego, California on September 4, 1946. with its full national release on September 24, 1946. [Note 2][2] In his review for The New York Times, Bosley Crowther considered the film Wellman's "vanity project": "... Mr. Wellman got himself together, helped to write, directed and produced a film called 'Gallant Journey,' intended to acclaim that daring man. But a look at the finished product, which came to Loew's Criterion yesterday, leads one to suspect that Mr. Wellman was quite as cuckoo as Montgomery was thought to be. For this curiously ill-constructed picture about a man who was crazy to fly goes bumping around in clumsy circles and ends up in a miserable heap."[5]
Aviation film historians Hardwick and Schnepf noted that Gallant Journey was "... (a) well-told story" with "Good aerial sequences of gliders and balloons." [6] Film reviewer Leonard Maltin considered the film as "OK, but not as stirring as it's meant to be."[7]
Gallant Journey was presented on the Lux Radio Theatre, November 11, 1946. Ford and Blair reprised their screen roles in the adaptation.[8]

5 Explosive Exercises For Your Vertical Jump
Check out the five explosive exercises for increasing your vertical jump provided by Scott Moody.
Scott Moody is the founder of Athlete Fit. He has trained many elite professional athletes in basketball and soccer.
1. Squat
Whether you are back squatting with the bar, or doing body weight squats, this exercise is an essential part of a vertical jump program. This exercise will build strength in the legs and core, which are key in the landing phases of any plyometric program.
Cues: Start light, and stay rhythmic in the motion. As your form becomes better, start to add speed to the accent (up) phase by attempting to �push your feet into the ground� and �leading with the shoulders� on the way up.
2. Jump Squat
This power movement exercise is vital to improving your vertical jump as it improves your explosiveness and strength in your lower body and core.
As you can see, there are many different views on how to perform a jump squat (weight on the shoulders, weight held low, bar on the back, etc.).
3. Squat Raise to Armpit
We love these exercises, as they are relatively simple to master, but gives you a great way to train explosive movement. So instead of taking months to master a clean or snatch movement, you can start on simpler versions especially if you�re less-skilled in Olympic lifting, with more speed and explosive potential.
This exercise develops strength in the shoulders, while also targeting the jump based motion of the hips (similar to a hang clean).
4. Power Raise
Like the Squat Raise to Armpit, the Power raise mimics Olympic lifting fundamentals, quick jump like motions and upper body pulling actions.
The Power Raise is similar to a snatch or 1 arm dumbbell snatch, but you can use two hands to hold the dumbbell.
Not only is this a great vertical jump exercise, but it also mimics a strong finishing motion for post players and guards that finish in the lane. You should visualize finishing in traffic when performing this exercise, and you should develop the strength to finish shots while taking contact in the lane.
5. Single Legged Exercises
Maybe my favorite exercise for vertical improvement is the single legged box blast or step up jump, but to get to that point we go through a progression of single legged exercises.

Located in the neighbourhood of Bon Pastor in the District of Sant Andreu, Mercat de Bon Pastor has been in existence since 1960 but since 2009 has been housed in provisional buildings on Carrer de Sant Adrià.
At the present time, there are only 19 stalls but it is hoped the a definitive site will be found in the near future and the market can return to its central role in the community life of Bon Pastor.
The whole neighbourhood is undergoing a lengthy period of renovation, the details of which seem to to be modified by each new Barcelona City Council.
The definitive location for Bon Pastor Market seems to depend on plans to extend La Maquinista shopping centre, build new schools and demolish some of the old disused factories along the railway line.

Is this not the happiest little rainbow ya ever did see?
I'm having a lot of fun playing around with rainbow prints. You know I have no problem wearing color but I've never really had an affinity for wearing a rainbow. It's obviously a big trend right now and I'm so glad to see how many plus size options there are. The fun thing about trends is it might open you up to an idea you didn't really have before and you end up really liking it!

Peyton Manning kept up his torrid pace with four touchdown passes, and Matt Prater kicked a 28-yard field goal as time expired to lift Denver at Dallas, 51-48, on Sunday.
Tony Romo threw for 506 yards and 5 touchdowns, the first 500-yard game by a Cowboy, but he was intercepted by Danny Trevathan at the Dallas 24 late in the fourth quarter to set up Prater's winning kick.
"It was pretty amazing that it came down to the defense making a big play at the end," Denver Coach John Fox said. "Thank God our offense kept us in the game all day long."
The Broncos advanced to the Dallas 1 and then ran down the clock to make sure Prater's kick was the final play in a wild game that improved Denver's record to 5-0.
The teams combined for 1,039 yards of total offense in the game, the second-highest-scoring game in regulation since the N.F.L.'s merger with the American Football League in 1970, according to Stats L.L.C. Cincinnati and Cleveland combined for 106 points in 2004.
Manning, who threw for 414 yards and passed Dan Marino for second place on the career passing yardage list, broke the record for touchdown passes through five games with his 19th on a second-quarter toss. He also ran for a score later in the second quarter and threw his fourth touchdown pass of the day — his 20th this season — in the third.
Dallas took a 48-41 lead after Romo connected on a 79-yard pass to Dez Bryant that set up a 4-yard scoring toss to Cole Beasley. Manning answered by leading a 73-yard drive that ended with Knowshon Moreno's tying 1-yard run with 2 minutes 44 seconds remaining.
The Cowboys were on the brink of being blown out early in the second half, but they finally stopped Manning and forced a field goal. They later ended Manning's streak of 227 passes without an interception.
BENGALS 13, PATRIOTS 6 Cincinnati sacked Tom Brady on his first pass attempt and kept up the pressure, beating visiting New England and ending Brady's streak of 52 games with a touchdown pass.
The Bengals sacked Brady four times over all, with Geno Atkins recording the first, and the Patriots failed to get into the end zone after a first-and-goal from the 1 in the fourth quarter.
A driving rain moved in just before New England's final chance. After a couple of dropped passes, Brady threw toward the goal line, but Adam Jones made a juggling interception inside the Cincinnati 5.
Brady's streak of games with a touchdown pass was the second longest in N.F.L. history, behind Drew Brees's 54-game streak. The Patriots were held out of the end zone for the first time since 2009.
CHIEFS 26, TITANS 17 Jamaal Charles scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard run with 6:23 left, and Kansas City won at Tennessee.
The Titans were out of sync in the first half, with Ryan Fitzpatrick starting at quarterback because Jake Locker (hip) was sidelined. Tennessee went three-and-out on its first five series, but the Chiefs blew a 13-0 halftime lead as the Titans scored 17 straight points.
Charles led Kansas City's rally, running for 50 of his 108 yards in the fourth quarter, and the Chiefs, who at 5-0 are off to their best start since 2003, intercepted Fitzpatrick twice in the final 6:14.
RAVENS 26, DOLPHINS 23 Trailing by 23-13 with 10 minutes left, Miami scored twice in 95 seconds, but Justin Tucker kicked a 44-yard field goal with 1:42 left to lift Baltimore, which won on the road for the first time this season.
Joe Flacco threw one interception after throwing five last week, and the Ravens ran for a season-high 133 yards, with Ray Rice rushing for a season-best 74.
In the Ravens' postgame interview room, Coach John Harbaugh was talking when Flacco, waiting to speak, leaned against a switch and inadvertently turned the lights off.
"I was thinking, 'Déjà vu all over again,' " Harbaugh said to laughter, evoking memories of the partial blackout in the Super Bowl last season that delayed the Ravens' victory and led to some conspiracy theories that the N.F.L. wanted to help San Francisco rally.
The lights quickly came back on Sunday, but a short time later they went out again — this time because linebacker Terrell Suggs had leaned against the same switch as Flacco.
"Suggs got us that time," a grinning Harbaugh said. "It wasn't the commissioner."
49ERS 34, TEXANS 3 Tramaine Brock intercepted Matt Schaub's first pass and returned it 18 yards for a touchdown, and San Francisco pounded visiting Houston. Schaub threw three interceptions in all before he was replaced in the fourth quarter. Colin Kaepernick threw a 64-yard touchdown pass to Vernon Davis for the 49ers, and Frank Gore ran for 81 yards and a score.
COLTS 34, SEAHAWKS 28 Indianapolis took the lead on Donald Brown's 3-yard touchdown run with 8:55 to play, handed visiting Seattle its first loss of the season and took sole possession of the A.F.C. South lead for the first time in the team's post-Peyton Manning era.
RAMS 34, JAGUARS 20 Matt Giordano returned an interception 82 yards for a touchdown, and St. Louis ended its three-game losing streak with a home victory over Jacksonville.
Sam Bradford threw three touchdown passes, two of them to Austin Pettis. Bradford was sacked just once — San Francisco and Dallas combined for 11 sacks in St. Louis's previous two games — and Zac Stacy ran for 78 yards in his first start.
The Jaguars' Maurice Jones-Drew surpassed 10,000 total yards for his career, and Justin Blackmon had five receptions for 136 yards in his season debut.
PACKERS 22, LIONS 9 James Jones's 83-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter was just the spark the Packers needed as their offense otherwise settled for field goals against undermanned Detroit, which has lost 23 straight at Green Bay.
Mason Crosby kicked five field goals, and the Packers' defense held Reggie Bush to 44 rushing yards and 25 receiving yards, taking advantage of a Lions offense that was missing Calvin Johnson (knee).
Jones finished with four catches for 127 yards and barely missed another long score when his foot grazed the sideline in the end zone. Green Bay's Eddie Lacy ran for 99 yards on 23 carries in his return from a concussion.
SAINTS 26, BEARS 18 New Orleans's Drew Brees completed 29 of 35 passes for 288 yards and 2 scores to earn his first win in four career games at Chicago's Soldier Field. The Saints' Garrett Hartley tied his career high with four field goals.
CARDINALS 22, PANTHERS 6 Arizona sacked Carolina's Cam Newton seven times and intercepted him three times to overcome a sluggish offensive performance at home.
Daryl Washington, back after serving a four-game suspension for violating the N.F.L.'s substance-abuse policy, had two sacks and an interception for the Cardinals. Calais Campbell had two sacks as well, one for Arizona's first regular-season safety in nine years and the other forcing a game-clinching fumble.
FREEMAN TO VIKINGS Josh Freeman's agent, Erik Burkhardt, indicated that Freeman was joining Minnesota with a one-word Twitter post: "Vikings!!!" Burkhardt then confirmed that Freeman had agreed to a one-year deal for $3 million.
Freeman was released by Tampa Bay on Thursday, a week after he was benched in favor of the rookie Mike Glennon.
The Vikings were off this week.

Western education may be defined in various ways. Metaphysical and Epistemic Description One of these methods of definition is in terms of the nature and sources of the metaphysical and epistemic roots of knowledge that structure an educational curriculum. Structural Character of Cognitive Systems By 'nature' in reference to a body of knowledge or a structure of ideas, I refer to the contents of a body of knowledge in terms of an organisation of a body of ideas into a correlative unit. This involves a consideration of the individual character of each of these ideas and the manner in which they are interrelated within the cognitive system. When you have such a cohesive unit, designed to be used as a template guiding the development of further knowledge, you have a cognitive system. Such cognitive systems are at the centre of educational systems. Various civilisations, at various points in their history, may be defined in terms of the formal and informal development and application of the cognitive systems privileged by that civilisation. Metaphysical and Epistemic Roots By metaphysical roots, I refer to the conception of the nature of the cosmos that underlies an educational curriculum. With reference to metaphysics, I mean ideas about the nature of existence, in what sense a phenomenon can be said to exist and the relationship between the various existents or forms of being that constitute the cosmos. Every educational curriculum can be described as structured in terms of a metaphysical framework. That metaphysical framework demonstrates a cognitive, social and even geo-political history. In referring to epistemic roots, I refer to the ideas and practices about the nature of knowledge, how to assess the validity of knowledge claims and apply knowledge that are privileged in an educational curriculum. These epistemic roots again demonstrate a cognitive, social and geo-political history. Metaphysical Roots One could describe the current metaphysical roots of Western education and perhaps even of Western society as founded in the European Enlightenment, as demonstrated by a focus on the human being as 'the measure of all things', as the central point of reference for understanding the cosmos. The conception of the human being that is privileged within this scheme is again one that achieved prominence in the Enlightenment, a human person defined primarily by their powers of reason.
Epistemic Roots That observation leads to the epistemic roots of Western education. The epistemic roots of Western education consist in a focus on the publicly assessable use of reason as the primary method for arriving at knowledge. By publicly assessable, I mean that the use of reason in such contexts should be such as to be capable of assessment by others using their own reason. Pervasiveness of and Selectivity in the Metaphysical and Epistemic Roots of Western Education These metaphysical and epistemic conceptions are so fundamental to contemporary Western scholarship and education that they are often invisible in terms of being questioned by those who practice them. They are challenged from time to time, however. Examples of this are efforts to contextualise the use of reason by postmodernists, by demonstrating the relationship between mind and body and the role of the non-rational, along with other examples across the centuries. The fact that these metaphysical and epistemic conceptions are not automatic but represent choices made out of a set of possibilities is demonstrated by the fact the actual metaphysical and epistemic conceptions that inform and are demonstrated in the conclusions of the work of seminal figures in Western are not always identical with what I have just described as central to Western thought. The current conceptions that define Western education were not always dominant at various periods of Western history, as in the Middle Ages, for example. Descartes, Newton, Plato, Kant, Johannes, Kepler, among others, cannot be described purely in terms of those metaphysical and epistemic conceptions, and yet, the educational system to which they have become central is based on those metaphysical and epistemic roots that represent only an attenuated form of their multi-faceted achievement. Geography and Race One could also describe an educational system that characterises a civilisation, in this case, Westerrn civilisation, in terms of the geographical locations and races of the figures subsumed within and privileged by that educational system. With reference to Western education, to the best of my knowledge, its seminal figures in terms of ideas about the nature of the cosmos and the character of knowledge are fundamentally European. This tradition has been carried beyond Europe through migration and colonialism, to North America, Australia, Africa, and Asia. I don't know anything about education and scholarship in South America so I can't comment on that subcontinent. Developments since the closing years of the twentieth century have introduced North Americans, Asians and Africans into the canon of Western scholarship but I doubt if these new figures have made fundamental changes to the conceptions of the nature of the universe and the character of knowledge established by European thought. I would need to know more about these developments, though, to adequately assess the degree to which this is true, which I think it is.
Exceptions? Seeming exceptions to this description of the foundations of Western thought and Western education as being in Europe, Europe as it existed before the emergence of a multicultural concentration of thinkers and writers in European society could be described as reinforcing this argument by demonstrating strategies of selection and assimilation through which Western scholarship and education has defined itself as a distinct brand. St. Augustine of Hippo Such exceptions would seem to be, for example, St. Augustine of Hippo, the North African scholar and man of religion who occupies a seminal position in various fields of Western thought where he has been a point of reference since he passed away in the 5th century. No comprehensive survey of various branches of Christian theology, of aesthetics, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, autobiography and the philosophy of history in the Western tradition is complete without a discussion of Augustine's consistent influence on European scholars and writers, an influence that is reflected in the manner in which these European thinkers have shaped Western thought. Augustine's influence on European thought, the ground of Western thought, was possible because Augustine was thoroughly assimilated to Christian civilisation as it existed within and beyond Europe as propagated by the Roman Empire, of which Augustine was a member in his native Tagaste and Hippo, where he was bishop, a region described as in present day Tunisia. This assimilation involved his being steeped in classical European thought and the dominant European religion of his time, Christianity, as represented by classical mythology and philosophy, particularly Neo-Platonism, which he transmuted in contact with the Bible and other fundamentals of Christianity, an assimilation also demonstrated in what is described as his magnificent Latin style, Latin being of course the official language of the Roman Empire, an assimilation also evident in his identification with the European metropolis as a point of reference, as shown by his pilgrimage to see his much admired Bishop Ambrose in Milan. Augustine may therefore be described as thoroughly Europeanised. In an era before the description of colonised peoples, particularly Africans, as not worthy of learning from by the coloniser, Augustine's Europeanisation enabled his assimilation within European thought from as late as Anselm of Canterbury in the 11th century to as recent as Martin Heidegger in the mid-twentieth century. Arab Thought Another seeming exception is the transmission of ancient Greek thought to Europe in the Middle Ages by the Arab scholars. Western scholars assimilated the Arabic contribution but these Arab scholars did not subsequently play a significant role in Western philosophy. An exception to this blanking out could be Ibn Sn,, better known as Avicenna, whose pioneering work in medicine seems to have been subsumed into Western medicine.
Mathematics Other seeming exceptions are in mathematics, where insights from various civilisations have been interpreted by Western science and their sources acknowledged. That acknowledgement, however, seems to still privilege Western and particularly European scholars as the foundation of what is known as mathematics in the modern sense. I don't know enough about mathematics to know if this view can be challenged. . There are non-Western mathematicians in the more recent mathematical canon, like Ramanujan, but they seem few to me. I am not informed enough on the sciences to give a thumbnail survey on them in relation to those issues but I suspect that the same point might hold there. Selectivity in the Development of Western Education Western valorisng of Western civilisation through the character of its educational system has been central to the creation of a body of knowledge and of strategies for disseminating knowledge that can be correctly described as Western education. This process of valorising one's own civilisation by excluding ideas and achievements from other civilisations in the process of building one's own educational system emerged for a number of reasons. These reasons could be described as including lack of access to information about other civilisations, difficulties of understanding those civilisations and relating them to the social and individual experiences of Europeans, whose history is at the centre of Western education, as well as efforts to valorise Western civilisation at the expense of other civilisations, along with what seems to be a process of selection from the achievements of seminal figures of Western thought, who could be described as encapsulating a multi-faceted scope of achievement that their descendants were not able to integrate in its entirety but could assimilate only piecemeal into Western education as it developed over the centuries. The selections eventually arrived at from the works of these seminal figures and emphasised in the educational system can be described as arrived at through various processes, one being through the outcome of battles for legitimacy between various cognitive paradigms, paradigms defined in terms of particular metaphysical and epistemic perspectives and their related cognitive histories. Emerging Changes Changes might be emerging to these paradigms, as represented, for example, by the presence of Asian thought in various disciplines, as in philosophy of mind and neuroscience. Examples of these are Self, No Self? : Perspectives from Analytical, Phenomenological and Indian Traditions, published by Oxford UP( 2010) , The Measure of Things: by David Cooper, which draws on Buddhist and European secular philosophers, again published by Oxford UP (2002) and Ornella Corazza's essays and her book Near-Death Experiences: Exploring the Mind-Body Connection published by Routledge (2008) which draw significantly on Japanese philosophy.
Corazza describes her research as to developing " new strategies to enhance our lifestyle by bridging science and Oriental traditions." For these initiatives to be described as significantly affecting Western thought would require not only discussion of them in isolation from European roots of the Western tradition, which might have been the position before the last 50 years or more, to the recent correlative discussion represented by the two Oxford UP books, to rethinking the foundational ideas of inherent in this educational system, as Corazza seems to be doing, all the way to creating curricula that reflect such re-evaluations in terms of how people are thought to search for and validate knowledge. An educational system based on different metaphysical and epistemic conceptions, drawing from a different style of privileging cognitive history, could approach the entire body of global knowledge differently. The Potential of India Such systems might emerge in India, for example, which is engaged in vigorous publishing of all kinds of books, and republishes under licence books on India published in the West and sells and exports these books at cheaper prices than the Western originals the West in this instance being European and North American, particularly US publishing companies. Perhaps the Indians will develop a system that correlates their own indigenous educational systems with the Western system they got through colonisation by England. The perspectives expressed in this essay might be simplistic in some ways, but they could be useful for characterising the relevant issues. 17 January 2012

Tis the season to decorate the door with a wreath and here are four of my handmade favs from Etsy shops.
1. Seashell Holiday Wreath @ DesignsbyMJL 2. Paper Rose & Hydrangea Wreath @ AnthologyOnMain 3. Winter Whisper Wreath @ WillowgaleDesigns 4. Primitive Americana @ Designwreath
The Holiday theme continues
Today's newest design may be faux, but it's still fab. I love the look of foil-stamped cards, but they are often cost-prohibitive so I designed a faux foil look party invitation for the holidays. The back even has a pattern of prancing reindeer. Now I just need to throw a party so I can order some.

The Living Library is a large interactive projected book which works as a companion piece to the Connected Worlds exhibit. Living Library uses two cameras and a laser light source projector to create a dynamic, animated experience that is both tactile and rich. A depth camera mounted above the book tracks visitors' hands and allows them to trigger animations simply by touching the page, bringing the book to life. Printed decorative designs on each page are also tracked, allowing the correct digital content to be projected on to the book's pages whenever a visitor turns a page.
Living Library allows visitors to learn more about each plant, creature, and habitat and the relationships between them. Additionally, the book dives deeper into how the system works, the science behind the project and provides additional perspectives and tips for exploring Connected Worlds.

Wow! This looks incredible! And I'm not normally a cake fan – definitely one to try though.
Raspberry & White Chocolate Cake
To celebrate a friends birthday I've decided to make my Raspberry & White Chocolate Cake!
8oz Caster Sugar
4 Eggs, lightly beaten
8oz Self Raising Flour
1-2tbsp Milk
4oz Margarine
8oz Icing Sugar
2oz White Chocolate Chunks
8oz Raspberries, washed
2oz Sugar
50mls Water
8oz White Chocolate, broken up
100mls Double Cream
1. Make the ganache by heating the cream in a saucepan over a medium heat until just before the boil. Take off the heat and tip in the white chocolate. Stir until all melted. Leave to cool in the fridge.
2. To make the coulis put the water and sugar into a saucepan and heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Tip in the raspberries and boil until the fruit is soft, approx 2-3 minutes. Let the fruity liquid cool a little then blitz it in a blender. Finally, sieve the liquid to take out all the raspberry seeds. Leave the coulis to one side to cool completely.
3. Preheat the oven to 190/170fan/gas 5. Line 2x20 cm round cake tins with baking parchment. Then start on the cake. Cream the margarine and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add in the eggs and a little of the flour and fold. Then add in the remaining flour and fold until all combined. Add in the milk until the mixture is a dropping consistency. Spoon the mixture equally into the 2 cake tins and pop into the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Once the cakes are cooked turn out onto cooling racks and leave to cool completely.
4. Whilst the cakes are cooling make the butter icing. Beat together the margarine and icing sugar until all combined. You can use a hand held mixer to get a good finish on the icing. Tip in the chocolate chips and stir.
5. Once the cake is cooled it is ready to assemble. Spread the butter icing onto one of the cakes. Then spread over a good amount of the coulis. Pop the other half of the cake on top.
6. Take the ganache out of the fridge and whisk with a hand held mixer until just firm, approx 1 minute. Be careful not to over whisk as the cream will separate. Spread the ganache on top of the cake and decorate with left over raspberries and shavings of white chocolate.

Happy as a Clam!... or Oyster?
Oyster/clam compare-contrast
Oysters and clams are often considered to be the same thing but there are many differences between these two. They both belong to the mollusk class and are bivalves with a stomach, mantle, cilia and mouths and can be found in fresh or salt water, they're many differences as well morphology, anatomy and uses. A bivalve is an animal that has two hinged symmetrically shaped shells; these shells are made of calcium carbonate and are both filter feeders. Although the shells serve the same purpose on both species there is a distinct difference of shape, size, texture and color. The clamshell is round and usually uniform in shape and size. Most clams tend have smooth, gentle texture with a gray color tinted with blues, reds and greens through out its shell. The mighty oyster on the other hand, differs in size and shape dramatically. Unlike the clam, oyster shells are much more aggressive; sharp and jagged, round or long banana shaped with a flat or deep cup and tend to be solid gray, brown, white or green. Some oysters can produce pearls, try and have a clam pull that trick out of its shell. Because oysters spend almost there entire life in one place you will notice barnacles, seaweed and allgie growing on the shells witch you wouldn't typically find on clams. Clams have what is called a foot, this foot is a muscle that gives it the ability to become mobile, the foot also allows itself to dig in the mud and create what is called a bed. The oyster has a foot but only for a few weeks, in its first stages of life, and doesn't use it in the same way as the clam. Instead of walking with it, it uses the foot to swim until it finds a suitable, safe spot to anchor itself and stays there for its entire life. Even though the two shares the same diet "plankton", both bivalves and filter feed, the action of the filtering is completely different. The oyster sucks in about four gallons of water per hour allowing the water to...

Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
Du'a (prayer) is like the most powerful weapon for those who has the conviction that there is that one entity who is the Most Powerful and All Capable. The One who has created everything and He just says "Be" and it is. How cool is that! So why hesitate to ask for anything from Him?
In this section we will keep on adding authentic du'a as we go along in our journey, in sha Allah. We often times find ourselves in situations when we turn to Almighty for the solutions and who is better than our Rasool (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) to teach us the best of Du'as as he has been gifted with the amazing art of "Precise and Concise Speech" Alhamdulillah. So let's get going …

Graphic Policy's Top Comic Picks this Week!
Wednesdays are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That's where we come in!
We're bringing back something we haven't done for a while, what the team thinks. Our contributors are choosing up to five books each week and why they're choosing the books.
Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this Wednesday.
Top Pick: Logan (yes, my top pick is a movie) – Wolverine has always been my favourite Marvel character, and is the reason I read comics today. On the week that I turn another year older I get both Old Man Logan and Logan – it almost feels like Marvel are wishing me a happy birthday.
Old Man Logan #19 (Marvel) – Alex's Week of Wolverine continues with Jeff Lemire – I don't remember if his Brood storyline is over or not (I've read a lot of Wolverine comics over the past couple days), but this series has been strong for a long time and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Faith #9 (Valiant) – A one-shot story that seems to be more of a day-in-the-life than anything else, which I'm super happy about because I love reading about the other side of a superhero's life.
Batman #18 (DC Comics) – I didn't expect to be looking forward to reading a comic from this series again, but I've been cautiously optimistic about what Tom King has been doing here after the last couple of issues. While I think there's more chance than not that this'll disappoint, when it's good King's Batman is really good.
Top Pick: Royal City #1 (Image) – Jeff Lemire has been one of the best creators in comics the last few years. I love his work on Black Hammer, Old Man Logan, Moon Knight, AD: After Death, and much more. He is one of the few talents that can write and draw, and here with this book we are getting both. Royal City tells the tales of middle America and a real family. There's also some interesting mystery to discover. I cannot wait!
Extremity #1 (Image) – From the minute I saw the art style on this book I wanted it. The premise is about a child that has their drawing hand chopped off by oppressive tyrants that have taken over their lands. While they learn to draw with their other hand, it isn't the same. This is about rising up to fight oppression, and finding your identity when the thing you loved to do most is taken from you. It has a powerful metaphorical message, and I think this book will be something special as we get deeper into the story.
Superman #18 (DC Comics) – We are finally going to get some answers! Mr. Oz, fake Clark Kent, and more will seemingly be explained over the next few issues of Superman and Action Comics, two of DC's best series. This along with the upcoming button issues for Batman and Flash have me excited to know more about our heroes lost time, and who this Superman and other fake Clark Kent are.
Batman #18 (DC Comics) – Tom King has been building a powder keg of a story with Bane, Catwoman, and Batman. I am hoping this is where it all explodes, and by the last few pages of Batman #17, it will. Bane knows where to hurt Batman the most, the people he cares for. I like the twists King has given us so far, and am wondering where he goes from here.
Moon Knight #12 (Marvel) – Sadly, one of the best things Marvel has going for it is coming to an end in a few issues. I still have no idea what is happening, but have faith Lemire will give us a great ending to a great book. Is he losing his mind? Or has all of this been real? Perhaps a combination of the two. Great series, and it appears it will go out on a high note.
I couldn't pick a top pick this week. It's all so damn good! From socially conscious comics to girl-powered comics, to straight up anarchy and good old fashioned action, it's a great week to be all about that comic life!
Harley Quinn#15 (DC Comics) – Harley breaks her peace with the Mayor to save the homeless, fight gentrification and, more.
The Dregs #2 (Black Mask Studios) – Dig deeper into this socially conscious detective drama as we are taken on a journey to find out the fate of the homeless population.
X-Files Deviation 2017 (IDW Publishing) – Mashing up X-Files & Orphan Black and a lady Mulder! Shut up and take my money!!!
America #1 (Marvel) – It's heeeeeree and, I'm here for it!
Bullseye #2 (Marvel) – Bullseye is on a mission to rescue a mobsters son, he's in the murder business and business is good!
Top Pick: Champions #6 (Marvel) – This has been a fun, action packed series right from the beginning. These characters make up a great team, and the writing has been on point, spotlighting issues that readers can relate to but also bringing in humour and fun between the characters. I'm excited for this issue, seeing the team go up against another team of teens calling themselves The Freelancers. I'm looking forward to see who makes up this new team and what their beef is with the Champions.
Batman #18 (DC Comics) – This is one of the few DC titles I have stuck with since the Rebirth, and it has consistently delivered. I'm really enjoying this current story arc with Bane, especially when Batman put together his own suicide squad (a great couple of issues!) And now, as the solicit says, Bane is in Gotham and looking for some payback. Definitely not one to miss.
Top Pick: Motor Girl #4 (Abstract Studios) – Easily my favorite comic on the market right now. Terry Moore's writing and art are just plain fun. Every issue has delivered and then some.
America #1 (Marvel) – A fan favorite character gets her solo series. I'm intrigued to see what it's like and if it delivers. This is the comic that has the highest bar to get over.
Savage Things #1 (Vertigo) – Justin Jordan does Vertigo… you need more?
Agents of PACT #1/Freelance #1 (Chapterhouse Comics) – These two first issues I feel really kick off Chapterhouse's superhero universe. So far most of their comics have been fun, so more to the part is awesome
All Time Comics Crime Destroyer #1 (Fantagraphics) – Another superhero universe launching. This one is a bit retro.
Smoketown #1 (Scout Comics) – Phillip Kennedy Johnson's new series from Scout Comics. Johnson does solid comics and so does Scout, so the combo is something I'm looking forward to reading.

A compact, reliable board built to travel
The Board
Loz needed a compact, reliable board for both electric and upright basses suitable for international touring.
The decision was made early in the design process that the board needed to stay as compact as possible – ideally hand-carry size to avoid excess charges on the many flights that Loz makes with his equipment. The Peli 1510 is large enough to fit a complete pedalboard, cables, looms and spares while still small enough to carry on to a plane.
Like many bass players, Loz had been using a Sansamp Bass Driver Programmable to switch between several clean and driven tones. We decided to upgrade the main preamp to the excellent Darkglass Vintage Deluxe which has a huge variety of usable sounds, and an EHX Bass Soul Food for another channel of drive. Combining the two drive stages, and using both individually gives a wide range of drive that combine well with the various octave pedals (OC-2, POG, and MicroSynth).
To accommodate the extra pedals, a Cioks DC-10 was chosen for its universal voltage and high power output.
Loz uses both electric and upright basses on his current gig with Jamie Cullum so needed to be able to run both signal chains through the same board, sending both instruments to the same amp. A Boss LS-2 is used to combine the signals with independent volume controls and the MXR 10-band EQ is used post-DI on the upright bass line to control any unwanted feedback.
A pair of Radial SB-2 DI boxes are hidden under the back row of pedals, chosen for their excellent sound quality and compact size.
I built a small patch box for instrument inputs / outputs which is mounted on the back of the board. On busy stages with limited time, it's important to keep setup as simple as possible. Having one place to plug in all of the cabling saves a lot of valuable time.
