"Jesus Glenn, what's this shit?" Deshane has come to assess his client's eligibility for assisted care. Glenn's crashed and burned in his grubby and badly covered armchair. Around his feet three large woven tartan bags filled with belongings, largely rummaged from op-shop bins or donated by well-meaning philanthropic do-gooders. There are mouse droppings on the floor and the old iron bed is unmade with filthy sheets. Dishes are piled in the sink still coated with the remains of frozen dinners and the air is heavy with cigarette smoke. Curtains drawn. It's dim and dingy. Glenn stirs, his eyes bloodshot and pupils wide.
He straightens up as far as he's capable. His head still lolling sideways as if half severed. Badly cut hair falls across his right eye as he squints at the sunlight streaming through the open door. He hasn't seen sunlight for days.
"You're supposed to be getting ready to move!"
Deshane's found his client alternative accommodation away from the filth and in a better neighbourhood. Too far to walk to 'drug corner' and waste his welfare funds on Afghan brown. But he knows too well that Glenn will find a way, if not here, somewhere else. He's now trying to access mental health care for his hopeless charge. Years of heroin abuse combined with deep psychological problems has seen the decline of a once alert and creative man. Still only in his 30's he looks 50. He has moments of clarity and is articulate and creative then sinks into pools of depression or hallucination but more often drug-induced stupor.
"See the lizards on the wall?"
Glenn begins to giggle. He doesn't mind them there when he's stoned. Hates them when he's clean. They get messed up with the voices in his head, all growls and whispers. They hide under his bed waiting for an errant foot to dangle. A nicotine stained finger points to nothing as the addict's eyes widen observing invisible morphing beings escalating from the skirting board. His eyes trace their movement as they scamper across the ceiling.
"They're scared of you Deshane. They're running away. . . fly . . fly my pretties."
He waves them off with a flourish and sinks back soporific in his chair.
"And the voices are back."
He begins to doze again and the tar-coated foil bowl falls from his grip.
"You been using today?"
By 'using' Deshane means shooting up. That's usually what knocks him cold. His client has taken to smoking it rather than injecting. since the abscesses between his toes have prevented him from wearing shoes. There's nowhere else he can find a vein these days.
"Er, I dunno. I can't remember. Think I just had a smoke. Dolly doesn't do anything."
He begins to rouse and a sadness falls like a cowl across lifeless eyes.
"You still taking your Methadone?"
Deshane knows he alternates between regular medication and binges on brown.
"The Dolly's not working man . . it's just not working. Smack doesn't work. Nothing works. I want to die."
He's resisted the program since he was placed on it but there's no high, just a dullness that keeps the voices quiet; the monsters still. NA doesn't work. Just makes him want to use, listening to all those people and their experiences - what they felt, what they want. He hates the one upmanship between addicts. Who had the better gear, the closest shave. He just wants to be rid of it. Deshane's seen it all before. This is just a routine trip in an unbroken cycle. A downward spiral through every level of Hell. All he can do is check that his client's OK, that the place is kept clean because 'clean' is something Glenn will never be.
"C'mon man, lets get you into the shower and clean this mess up."
It wasn't always his drug of choice. She was awesome, fun, witty and they had the time of their life in the 90's. Dancing from rave to rave, partying all night, sleeping all day. He had a life then. Began writing a book, even had a job as a librarian. Again he's aware of the irony of an intelligent, well-educated man sinking to the depths by rejecting the girl and embracing the dragon.
She used to be more intoxicating than any substance. Black fingernails and orange hair, unconventional, uncomplicated. She was his world his epicentre of psychedelic light surrounded by flickering beams and booming base. Trance became life. Hyped and hot. High and heavenly. They saw the light. Such light. It drew them to the flame. Tantric vibration in a psytrance dimension. Hypnotic arrangement of synthetic rhythms made magical by chemical enhancements. He took it one step further and it scared her.
Too late. The claws of the beast took hold. He knows what it's like to look into the eye of the universe and he wants to do it again and again but it eludes him. She stayed for a while, put up with it, thought it wouldn't last. When she found him overdosed in the bathtub that was enough. He flew, she fell. He let her go and chased the dragon; she was afraid of reptiles.
The flame beneath the foil licks blue and yellow as the sludge percolates and once again he traces the line of smoke with his home-made straw. This is his life now,chasing never slaying. No longer flying high, he's swimming the channel, barely keeping afloat. He speedballs but there's a drought. His dealer's got nothing but a bad bundle and is tapping the bags. Even the lizards have stopped crawling on his walls. Just the voices in his head and this is all that calms them. The hit kicks in but it's not a high, simply a doorway to oblivion as he leans back on the cool stone, babbling, salivating; stupid grin on his face. Ignored by passers-by except one who takes his photograph because he belongs in a world so alien to hers.
He remembers the rush but it's long gone. Now it's a need, a poor choice made. A life wasted, a woman lost. All that remains is a hungry beast continuing to devour and he's done being digested.

Cádiz - Light fantastic
Venice without the canals. Havana, but with more charm. Yep, both similes are absolutely spot on, but there's more… English novelist and Hispanophile, Laurie Lee, described Cádiz as "A scribble of white on a sheet of blue glass, lying curved on the bay like a scimitar and sparkling with African light." While for the Phoenicians who founded it in around 1100 BC – and named it Gadir – it was 'The City of Light'…
Situated on the Costa de la Luz or the Coast of Light, comprising the provinces of Cádiz and Huelva, the city of Cádiz – the slenderest of isthmuses jutting out into the blue sea – is virtually an island in all but name. Like the rest of Andalucía, it basks in sunshine pretty much all year round. But it's the sheer luminous intensity of its extraordinary light that defines the city. Everywhere you look, sunlight reflects off whitewashed walls and the sparkling ocean, dapples through trees, gleams on the cathedral's golden cupula and dances on fountains.
And then there are the several spectacular city beaches to chill out on, including Playa La Victoria and Playa La Cortadura, while few in the world can be more dramatic than Playa de la Caleta. Flanked at one end by the San Sebastián fort, and at the other by the Santa Catalina castle, if it looks strangely familiar, well that's because it is! Due to Cádiz's uncanny resemblance to Havana, it was on this very beach that the 'Cuban' scenes in blockbusting Bond movie Die Another Day – starring Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry – were filmed on location in 2002, with bikini-clad Berry famously emerging from the sea in a scene reminiscent of Ursula Andress in the 007 film, Dr. No, produced 40 years earlier.
If the city's La Caleta beach looks strangely familiar, well that's because it is!
If, on the other hand, you prefer your beaches to be out of town, then head for the pristine and almost totally untamed dunes of Zahara de los Atunes, El Palmar, Bolonia, Caños de Meca… or Tarifa – renowned for its world-class kitesurfing and windsurfing.
Less than a 2-hour drive west from Marbella, as the city comes into view, Cádiz puts you in mind of a cruise ship of mammoth proportions at anchor just off the shore. With the sea lapping it on three sides – and this is the bracing Atlantic rather than the languid Mediterranean remember – a salty tang pervades the air and the blue sea is ever present, glimpsed at the end of narrow streets, while the promenade all but encircles the town.
The oldest continuously inhabited city in Spain, and the most ancient in Western Europe, Cádiz was founded more than 3,000 years ago by Phoenicians attracted to its strategic location at the entrance to the Mediterranean. It subsequently became a base of operations for Hannibal's conquest of southern Iberia, before passing into the hands of the Romans in 206 BC, the Visigoths in 410, and the Moors in 711 and was finally conquered by Spanish monarch Alfonso X, the King of Castile, León and Galicia in 1262.
It was from Cádiz that Christopher Columbus set sail on his second and fourth voyages of discovery, and since the city later became the home port of the Spanish treasure fleet, it somewhat inevitably became a major target for Spain's enemies. In 1587, Sir Francis Drake 'singed the King of Spain's beard' with a raid on the port, delaying the Spanish Armada by a year, and other naval attacks and blockades followed sporadically over the next 100-odd years. And then of course, in 1805, the Battle of Trafalgar took place just south of Cádiz. The most decisive British naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars, it was here that Admiral Lord Nelson was mortally wounded on the deck of his flagship HMS Victory, becoming one of Britain's greatest war heroes in the process.
But 17th and 18th century Cádiz flourished. Three-quarters of Spain's booming trade was with the Americas, and that meant it passed through the port of Cádiz. It became one of Spain's wealthiest and most cosmopolitan of cities. Consequently, the majority of Cadiz's historic villas and townhouses – whose façades are painted in pastel pink, duck-egg blue and pistachio green, with glazed balconies sporting elegant wrought-iron balustrades – date from this affluent period which lasted until Spain's loss of its colonies in the 19th century.
At the height of its golden age, more than 160 merchants' residences were topped with towers or turrets – often complete with telescopes – so their owners could gaze out to sea to watch the arrival of their ships laden with silver and gold from the New World. Some of them still remain, and the tallest, Torre Tavira, is a unique vantage point, with a camera obscura projecting live, panoramic images of the city onto a screen. It's a good place to head to first to get your bearings, because with 3,000 years of chequered history under its belt, there are plenty of absorbing monuments and ancient landmarks you'll want to explore.
One of its most famous is the cathedral. The original, dating from 1260, was burnt to the ground by Englishman, Lord Essex, who raided Cádiz in 1596, making off with most of the city's stocks of famous sherry to boot. Since reconstruction took from 1722 until 1853 to complete, it's a mixture of baroque, rococo and neoclassical architecture. World-famous 20th century composer Manuel de Falla – who was born in the city and whose red-bricked Moorish revival-style theatre bears his name – is buried in the cathedral's crypt which, incidentally, is said to have extraordinary acoustics.
You would probably imagine that The Spanish Constitution of 1812 was signed in Madrid. But the event which transformed Spain into a solid democracy, was the foundation for most Iberian-American States following their independence, and which also influenced the texts of several other European constitutions was enacted right here in Cádiz, at the celebrated Oratorio San Felipe Neri. So it's none other than the liberal-minded Gaditanos who were responsible for establishing Spain's popular sovereignty, the separation of powers, the freedom of expression and freedom of the press.
The cathedral dating from 1260, is a mixture of baroque, rococo and neoclassical architecture.
One of the city's finest baroque churches, with a breathtaking dome, an unusual oval-shaped interior and an Inmaculada by Murillo on its altarpiece, the Oratorio de San Felipe Neri is a must-see. As is the Oratorio de la Santa Cueva, whose resplendent Upper Chapel features stunning paintings by Spanish artist Francisco de Goya.
The finest museum in the province, the Museo de Cádiz's archaeology section includes two Phoenician marble sarcophagi, various headless Roman statues, plus Emperor Trajan – complete with head – from the ancient ruins of nearby Baelo Claudia. The fine arts collection, meanwhile, features 18 exquisite canvases of saints, angels and monks by Francisco de Zurbarán, as well as the painting that cost Murillo his life – he died in 1682 after falling from the scaffolding while creating the beautifully composed altarpiece which originally decorated the city's Convento de Capuchinas.
Other impressive sights include the Monument to the Constitution, the palatial Admiral's House, the imposing Church of Santiago dating from 1635, the various city gates – Las Puertas de Tierra, El Arco de los Blancos and El Arco de la Rosa – and the Roman Theatre. Built during the the 1st Century BC, it's the second largest in the world, surpassed only by that of Pompeii, but temporarily closed for renovation.
Cádiz has a laid-back and relaxing atmosphere and plenty of leafy squares, parks and narrow cobbled streets to explore, as well of course as those fabulous beaches. The freshly-landed fish and seafood – washed down with a chilled glass of fino or two – is simply irresistible, and by night, in the city that claims to be the birthplace of the fiery and passionate dance, a visit to one of the town's several flamenco clubs is a must. World-famous flamenco artistes Camarón de la Isla, Paco de Lucía, Niña Pastori and Sara Baras were all born in Cadíz.
And then of course there's Carnival… Only outranked in size by Rio de Janeiro and New Orleans, the Cádiz Carnival dates way back to the XVI century when the festivities were imported from Venice – famous for its masked balls and parades originating in the XIII century – with whom the city had established important trade connections.
Declared of International Tourist Interest, the Cádiz Carnival takes place each year in February or March, scarcely pausing for breath for ten riotous, spectacular, colourful and truly unforgettable days and nights.

Holly Springs to apply for gas expansion
The City of Holly Springs has alerted the Marshall County Board of Supervisors of its interest in expanding natural gas across its service boundary.
Clay Moore, public works director for the city, asked supervisors to come on board with the project. The city would expand natural gas to Mt. Pleasant and then Waterford, he said.
"We are looking to do some major expansion in the county and want to have everybody behind one goal," Moore said.
Expansion takes place in rural areas where there is sufficient residential and commercial development to support adding new service, he said.

Truck drivers, like all other motorists, have a duty to ensure the safe operation of their vehicle. Of course, this includes maintaining their rig so that it meets safety standards and also following the rules of the road. When a truck driver causes an accident because of a failure to follow these rules, he may be held liable for any injuries caused as a result. This is normally done through a negligence lawsuit.
In some cases, the police or highway patrol may cite a truck driver for some traffic violation in relation to an accident. In other egregious cases, there may be criminal charges filed against the truck driver. However, with regard to a personal injury lawsuit, neither of these is required for the case to be successful. This is in part due to the different standards in civil and criminal cases. Criminal cases require a "guilty mind" and must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, whereas civil cases rely on negligence and can be proven by meeting a lower standard.
Fatal Truck Accident Claims Two Lives
Earlier this month in New York, it was announced that a truck driver responsible for an accident that claimed two lives will not face criminal charges. According to a recent news article reporting on the event, the accident took place in August of last year.
Evidently, the driver of the semi-truck was attempting to make a left-hand turn when his brakes gave out. Unable to complete the turn, he lost control and crashed into a nearby pick-up truck with two people inside. The semi-truck pushed the pick-up down a nearby embankment and eventually landed atop the pick-up. Both the driver and the passenger of the pick-up were pronounced dead at the scene.
After the accident, police conducted an investigation and determined that not only did the brakes give out but also the driver had been speeding immediately prior to the accident. They cited the driver for improperly maintained brakes, speeding, and failure to make a proper turn. However, the driver will not face any criminal consequences for his role in the accident. It remains to be seen if the families of the victims will be pursuing wrongful death cases against the truck's driver.
Have You Been Injured in a New Mexico Truck Accident?
If you or a loved one has recently been injured in any kind of New Mexico truck accident, you may be entitled to monetary compensation.

Up over 6 pounds from Thursday! But only 5 pounds from Friday, as I gained a pound back in that one day... Kinda bummed today. I don't feel very good. I am cramping, and my throat is sore, and I am completely exhausted. I just want to go home and sleep the rest of the day away!
Today is going to be pretty short and sweet as I feel like I am going to fall asleep on my keyboard! Back up some over the weekend. Hopefully, it is just a bunch of water weight from the monthly visitor. I will be at the gym tonight, probably just walking.... really don't know if I have the energy for much more than that!
I am trying not to get discouraged. I just wish it would come off and stay off at a better rate. But that is my fault, I need to work harder on my food choices. They have been pretty good overall, but sometimes my cravings get the better of me!
Thank you all for being along with me on this journey...

The two fitness functions are examined and compared on three object detection problems of increasing difficulty. The results suggest that both fitness functions perform very well on the relatively easy problem, the weighted fitness function outperforms the tolerance based fitness function on the relatively difficult problems.", }

WWE News: Edge shares his views on Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar
Rated R Superstar Edge, recently had a sit-down interview with Jonathan Coachman on ESPN SportsCentre, this Wednesday.
On being asked for his views on Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar, Edge said that it is not going to be a pretty affair, as Lesnar and Goldberg are two big dudes. He also stated that Brock is a complete freak, and recalled his match with him at WWE Rebellion, in 2002. He went on to claim that Goldberg ran through people, and wondered, what the match is going to be like.
Furthermore, Edge said that he understands how it feels to be in a match with Lesnar, but is clueless as to what Goldberg can do to his opponents, as he has never wrestled him. While Edge earlier mentioned that he believes that Lesnar would win the match, he quickly corrected himself by claiming that he doesn't know how the bout will turn out.
When asked for his views on Goldberg's return, the 43-year-old said that although he was a little surprised by it, he understands that Goldy came back to be a superhero again for the kids and showcase his wrestling skills to his wife and son; who have never seen his wrestle before.
Edge appreciated Goldberg's courage to get back in the ring and claimed that he is still the same guy that his fans remember him being.
Coachman further went on to ask Edge who he thought, delivered a better Spear, Edge or Goldberg. To this Edge took a diplomatic approach and said that it depends on how one looks at it.
While Goldy likes to run through people, he can pull off a spear from the top of a ladder. Furthermore, Edge said that he believes, Goldberg would not try the same feat, but felt that superstars would prefer to be struck by his Spear over Goldberg's.
The Rated R Superstar was also questioned upon why he was sporting a beard. To this, Edge replied that he was shooting for a television series called 'Vikings', and the role demanded him to grow a beard.

We've heard it all before from lifestyle and career management gurus: all work makes Jack and Jacki dull.
And it's not just those shining personalities that go dim, excessive work and stress dampens our creativity around problem-solving and lateral thinking, a 20-year IT veteran and motivational coach claims.
While people try to be logical, cool-headed professionals on the job, many people spend so much time focusing on the problems confronting them in their work and engaging in negative self-talk, that this can drive them into a rut, Trevor Perry, motivational coach and product evangelist for Melbourne-based Look Software, said.
The result will be a block of some sort - mental or communication-wise - when dealing with everyday tasks like project delivery, systems design, and interacting with colleagues and customers.
What we forget is that problem-solving starts with creativity, and ends with the technology, Perry said, addressing the IBM User Group's Interactive 2003 conference in Sydney last week.
A key way of feeding our creativity is to "step outside our normal routine" by doing things completely unrelated to our work.
Talking to people we don't work with or know is a simple but forgotten way of "unblocking" ourselves from our work problems, Perry said.
"Go and find someone who hasn't got a technical background like the person in the cafeteria or the checkout chick, and just explain the problem to them. When you're telling them about the problem you're having with, say a program, your brain is working in a different way.
"Provide them with an overview and have them brainstorm - it'll be amazing what you get back. Yes, you will laugh and get stupid things back, but that's the point of creativity - exploring places you've never been to and that's where you find the answers."
Or just take a break, said Perry, "That's the other thing we forget to do. We sit there at the desk and fume.
"Instead of fuming, go and whine about it to everyone in the room. Or listen to some music, go to a fun Web site, or give your brain a break and go help someone else.
"Step outside of what you're doing and have some fun. Your subconscious will work on the problem when you're not really focused on it."
Perry believes organisations do not value teambuilding activities enough. He sees them as a way of helping employees address conflict with each other and even have fun outside their own work environment.

Did you ever have a time when you knew that you needed to take an action and you kept on stalling?
Like you really wanted this for yourself, you were certain this was going to assist you in moving forward but you just didn't have the discipline to do that?
That's were I have been all year! I had gained some weight over the last year and noticed some ailments in the body. I knew it was time for me to do the Living Foods Program as this system has worked for me in the past.
But I was stuck…I could not do it myself I knew I lack the discipline to get started. So I decided to look for a retreat or spa to go to for a week or two. It can be very difficult to leave my business but I decided in August I was going to take three weeks off and do it.
I went to work on a planned project in Dallas with Luz Delia Gerber. Luz has just published a book and was starting her book tour to promote 'Oh, My Body'.
In conjunction with her book launch we created a party for the Mary Kay women at at the Flagship store of Abi Ferrin, fashion designer. It was a collaboration of a few businesses coming together to pamper our Mary Kay guests.
Luz was busy making ready and training Abi Ferrin's team on the menu of living foods she was serving. Luz and I, recently rekindled our relationship and spent time in hair, walks and preparing for our event. Luz is also a friend of 30 years and has always been a fountain of well being. In fact this is why we remain friends because of our shared vision of well-being for our planet.
What I notice is that all of a sudden I am practicing the living foods program. I just started on my own. I mentioned to Luz of my dilemma of starting. She was patience she listened she said some things and kept making it all right. Well Monday I began. And I am on my way! I am so happy!
All that happened was my being with Luz, and Luz being with me. The magic happened! No forcing, no demanding, no goals, no doing, just pure being and the process began for me.
Where in your life can you experience Collaboration with being?
Together we can do so much!

"Hard SF/techno thriller with characters that are intelligent and convincing. Moral issues abound, in a context of failing economies, destruction of the environment, and the never-ending growth of human population. The "villain" makes more sense to me than most of the "good" guys, but then I've never believed that the human race is the perfected height of evolution. Biology, genetic engineering, and lots of interesting questions. Maybe we need to change quite fundamentally if we're to be saved from ourselves. Prepare to think your way through this book. No aliens are coming to save us, and there's nowhere to go to get away from our self-created hell."

Apple's Remarkable Comeback Story
The once-troubled computer maker, turning 30, has found new life as a mobile music company. Still, challenges loom. By Amanda Cantrell, CNNMoney.com staff writer
March 29, 2006: 6:34 PM EST
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - Apple Computer is turning 30 but its meteoric rise in the music business makes it look more like it's 17. Meanwhile, Microsoft (Research) turns 31 this year but feels much more middle aged: it's wealthy, yes, but moving less swiftly, with a tendency to be a couple of years behind when it comes to stuff like the Internet. |

Hello guys it's about time that I've shared the asm I've done
Item Effect RevampBitmap Allegience
Item Effect Revamp Package v1.6 **Currently FE8 Only****Use EA v10.1 or above**
You know that staff/use effect byte in item data that you've always ignored? Well now it does something!Rather than have item effects be restricted to specific items by item you can now set the staff or use effect of an item by changing this byte in item data.
What this does is get rid of most of the previous limitations on custom items that bothered us before. Before if you wanted to give another item an existing effect you had to change 3 different pointers and make sure said item was below the heal staff in the item table. Now you can give any item/weapon an effect by changing a single byte in item data with a quick trip to nightmare(or nmm2csv).
I've also included a text file called Item Effect ID which tells you what each effect ID does. The source asm files are included as well
v1.6 adds more AI support by having the AI check for effect ids rather than item ids, now you can have extra keys and lockpicks and the AI should know how to use them
Bitmap AllegienceThis is still WIP and for FE8
What this does is it lets you change teams fight each otherIt also influences which teams can pass through each otherThis is still a work in progress but complete enough for people to mess around with because you can make enemies fight each otherThe end goal is to be able to change how the teams interact with each other mid chapter through events.
Now affects the player's team's ability to attack, steal, and use status staves.You can now attack green or blue units as well I just need to figure out how to store and load the team info into Suspend/Resume and the save files and it should be ready for an official release
Another Update:The Allegiance bitmap is now saved over suspend data; that means that this should be usable once i've written some macros for it.
Finally remembered to release version 1.6Let me know if there are any errors.
Heal Value Modifier-- FE8 Only --I made an event file that lets you modify what the staff healing amount isby default heal amount = [item might] + [character str/mag]you change the item and unit stat used by changing the stat getter pointers in the event file
heal amount = [item might] + [character str/mag]

Pregnancy and birth are miraculous journeys. This amazing time of life is full of mystery, anticipation, joy, hope, and wonder. Feeling the powerful energy of birth and new life, watching as a new family is born unto each other. These things humble and amaze. These are the things that we celebrate when a baby is born.
But there is another aspect of pregnancy and birth. There is an unexpected place in this journey where some families may find themselves. When a baby dies, a world is turned upside down. There is confusion, sadness, fear, and uncertainty that cannot be explained. There is sorrow where there should have been joy.
This is the place where the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) gently provides a helping hand and a healing heart. For families overcome by grief and pain, the idea of photographing their baby may not immediately occur to them. Offering gentle and beautiful photography services in a compassionate and sensitive manner is the heart of this organization. The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives.
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and administers a network of professional photographers who graciously donate their time and talents to these families and we are proud to be able to offer our services at no cost.
I am so proud to be an affiliate photographer for this amazing organization. If you or anyone you know would like more information about this service, please contact me at 904.403.9553 and visit www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org.

My boys get so much out of Wildheart Nature School, from learning survival skills, to polishing their powers of observation, to increasing their appreciation of all living things, but one of the very best things is their desire to show us where they've been. I couldn't be happier that they want to spend their time outdoors, in the forest or by the river, looking for animals or signs of animals, telling us what plants are edible, and more. Wildheart Nature School is truly phenomenal! – Nicole Hunzicker

Corbyn to visit top target seat as his campaigning tour hits North Wales
Jeremy Corbyn is to visit the top Labour target seat today as he continues his summer of campaigning.
The Labour leader will visit Arfon, which Plaid Cymru held with a 92 vote majority, and the Tories' Aberconwy, which has a majority of 635 votes. Arfon is Labour's top target in Wales.
"People in Wales need a government in Westminster that is on their side," Corbyn said ahead of his visit.
"Prices are surging ahead of wages, as all but the richest face a lost decade under the Tories. People need a pay rise – Labour will bring in a £10 minimum wage by 2020 and end the public sector pay cap – and bills to be brought under control."
"We will end the rip off of privatised rail and introduce an emergency energy price cap while we create the option of a publicly-owned energy system, to put money and control back in people's hands," he added.
"The next Labour government will transform our economy. We will develop the jobs, skills, infrastructure and industries of the future through an investment-led approach, supported by our National Transformation Fund and a Welsh development bank, building on the Welsh Labour government's Development Bank of Wales."
"Today, I'm campaigning in the Conservative-held marginal of Aberconwy and Plaid-held Arfon as part of Labour's summer campaign in marginal constituencies across the country. We can win here and form the next government that will work for the many not the few," he finished.
You can read a full overview of Labour's target seats here.

Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before…
Initially, I rather disliked The Smiths. It wasn't untill I really listened to the music attentively that I began to pick up on the subtlety of Marr's writing. Morrissey is another one you really have pay close attention to. The words are simple enough but to the passive listener they might not make all that much sense. Many consider them to have fathered the Indie movement and to some extent this is true. However this quality is somewhat coincidental, that is to say, it's more an inevitability of the time than a conscious effort on their end to become an inspirational focal point for thousands of bands to come. Beyond the moniker of Indie Godfathers, The Smiths have a sound as unique as the people who make up the band. Morrissey sings about life and love but not quite in the way that had become the norm in the 1980's. His pessimistic views could not have been more juxtaposed by the happy, jangle of Johnny Marr's melodies and riffs. I believe that any music fan can find something about The Smiths that they like, and so I invite you to search for it among the lyrics and tracks laid out below.
The Smiths – 1984 (Rough Trade)
The very first line on the album is about the death of innocence. This sentiment surrounds The Smiths and would come to play a major role in later albums. This debut serves as a perfect introduction to the band. Morrissey with lyricism beyond his years and Marr's unique melodies.
Top Tacks:
- Reel Around The Fountain
- You've Got Everything Now
- This Charming Man
- Still Ill
- What Difference Does It Make?*
Notable Lyrics
"It's time the story was told, of how you took a child and you made him old" – Reel Around The Fountain
"People said that you were virtually dead and they were so wrong" – Reel Around The Fountain
"I've seen you smile but I've never really heard you laugh" – You've Got Everything Now
"I would go out tonight but I haven't got a stitch to wear. This man said it's gruesome that someone handsome should care" – This Charming Man
"I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving, England is mine, and it owes me a living" – Still Ill
"The devil will find work for idle hands to do" – What Difference Does It Make?
Final Thoughts
The Smiths is one of the strongest debuts I've come across. Morrissey manages to capture the despair and isolation that comes with growing up a societal outcast. The pairing of Marr and Morrissey is truly one of a kind. Morrissey's literary background is on full display on tracks like What Difference Does It Make? and You've Got Everything Now where he conveys a striking image of the desperate youth that is slipping away from him. On the other hand, Marr cobbles together some of the most intricate yet catchy melodies within a combination of complex and simple chords. The Smiths lay emotional and meaningful lyrics over groovy dance tracks which to no surprise at all grants them a large following after their first album.
Meat Is Murder – 1985 (Rough Trade)
In their sophomore album, The Smiths begin to diversify their sound by adding elements of Blues/Rockabilly, their fist use of a guitar solo and a growing affinity for the acoustic guitar. Morrissey explores themes of mortality, purpose and what it means to be alive.
Top Tacks:
- What She Said
- That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
- How Soon Is Now*
- Nowhere Fast
- Well I Wonder
Notable Lyrics
"Give up education/life as a bad dream" – The Headmaster Ritual
"An engagement ring doesn't mean a thing to a mid consumed by brass (money)" – Rusholme Ruffians
"How come someone hasn't noticed that I'm dead" – What She Said
"It was dark as I drove the point home and on cold leather seats well it suddenly struck me. I might just die with a smile on my face after all" – That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
"I am a human and I need to be loved. Just like anybody else does" – How Soon Is Now
"When I'm lying in my bed, I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me" – Nowhere Fast
"Gasping – Dying – but somehow still alive" – Well I Wonder
"A crack on the head is what you get. Why? Because of who you are" – Barbarianism Begins At Home
Final Thoughts
For those born after The Smiths broke up the song How Soon Is Now was likely the first song they heard. I remember first stumbling upon the a 7-inch single that my father had from when he was young. While it is not typical of their sound, the song's emotion is as Smiths as it gets. This album moves past the despair from their debut to explore mortality and the impatience that comes with youth. The juxtaposition of melody and lyrics only grows with this record, and so did their popularity.
The Queen Is Dead – 1986 (Rough Trade)
The Queen Is Dead begins with a recording of "Take Me Back To Dear Old Blighty". Setting up the sad impression of England that is to be painted on The Smiths latest record. The band wrestles with the notion that England has abandoned some of its history, connecting himself to the great British authors from the English canon.
Top Tacks:
- Frankly, Mr. Shankly
- I Know It's Over
- Cemetery Gates
- The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
- There Is A Light That Never Goes Out*
Notable Lyrics
"Passed the pub that saps your body and the church who'll snatch your money " – The Queen Is Dead
"Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held. It pays my way, and it corrodes my soul" – Frankly, Mr. Shankly
"I had a really bad dream it lasted 20 years, 7 months, and 27 days. I never, I'm alone, and I never, ever had no one ever" – Never Had No One Ever
"I never never want to go home because I haven't got one, anymore" – There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
"To die by your side, well , the pleasure, the privilege is mine" – There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
Final Thoughts
This album brings to light many of the issues the band was having with the their label. Like many "anti-pop" bands they struggle to come to terms with the responsibility and obligations that come with stardom. Themes of loneliness, Adolescence, and death are once again at the forefront of the album. Marr starts experimenting with more technology to get different sounds. He uses a Wah pedal in the title track and infusing elements of funk music with the timbre of folk music in Bigmouth Strikes Again. Personally, I think the vocals could have been cut from Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others and it would have been an improvement. To me the song seems a little out of place and almost lost or placed there by accident.
Strangeways Here We Come – 1987 (Rough Trade)
The final release from The Smiths bears little resemblance to their first. Gone is the jangle and intricate melodies replaced my strong chord structures and a variety of added instruments. The lyrics still revolve around sadness and a rejection of the world while the songs sound happy.

Notable Lyrics
"Love, Peace and Harmony? Oh very nice… But maybe in the next world " – Death Of A Disco Dancer
"If you think peace is a common goal that shows how little you know" – Death Of A Disco Dancer
"I was delayed, I was way-laid. An emergency stop. I smelt the last ten seconds of life " – Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before
"Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me. No hope, no harm, just another false alarm" – Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me
"In my heart I begged 'Take me with you. I don't really care where you're going" – Paint A Vulgar Picture
"Has the Perrier gone straight to my head or is life sick and cruel, instead?" – I Won't Share You
Final Thoughts
This record is different from anything the band has done. From the overdriven tones on I Started Something I Couldn't Finish to the maturation of characters in songs like A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours. Marr continues to experiment more with solo sections in the songs in this album, something that would have been too mainstream for a band making its name as an indie band.
Wrap Up
For me, The Smiths capture perfectly the feelings, thoughts, fears, and anxieties of growing up. To come to grips with your reality, your mortality, and question your place in the world. Growing up is never easy, no matter where you live or when. This is the key to The Smiths continued relevance. There will always be people who will identify with The Smiths. They were one of the most consistent bands, not in the sense that they are singular in their sound, but they were able to deliver great songs on every album. They show a fair amount of growth across their discography both in their sound and lyrics. As such I find it hard to pick a favourite album or song. So I'm going to cheat a little and say if there was a single smiths record I could give to someone to turn them into a Smiths fan, I would hand them a copy of "Hatful Of Hollow", which is a compilation album and as such would provide them with a good variety of Smiths sounds but stays within the early days of the band which were, in my opinion, better.

A reversal of 898280-07-4 manufacture recurrence threat price between ER negative and positive breast cancer sufferers beyond three years after procedure was detected. The actual fact might indicate the need for long-term adjuvant hormone therapy for ER positive cancer patients. History A prognostic aspect is thought as a natural or scientific measurement that's associated with general success and/or disease-free success [1]. The data of prognosis forms a fundamental element of the decision-making procedure in medication [2]. Furthermore, prognostic factors are essential in the treating cancer to greatly help recognize subgroups of sufferers who might need even more aggressive method of therapy [3]. Further, prognostic factors also play a crucial role in developing scientific trial as allocation and stratification factors [4]. Prognostic elements, i.e., the ones that predict the chance of loss of life or recurrence from breasts cancer tumor, include stage, variety of positive axillary nodes, tumor size, vascular and lymphatic invasion, the estrogen-receptor (ER) and progesterone-receptor (PR) positivity, and HER2/neu gene amplification [3,5]. We previously reported the fact that recent advance from the success rates in breasts cancer sufferers may be because of the logical advancement of treatment [6]. To be able to measure the indie value of factors in defining prognosis, in today's study, we've investigated the success of 742 breasts cancer sufferers with pathological stage (pTNM) I-III, by this, scientific stage (cTNM), pTNM, the amounts of positive lymph nodes (pN) and ER position. Methods Sufferers 742 feminine beast cancers sufferers aged between 21 and 80 with stage I-III of pTNM had been selected in the sufferers treated at Kyoto School Medical center in Japan from 1980 to 2005. Predicated on the section 2 in section 1 of Japanese moral suggestions for epidemiological analysis http://www.niph.go.jp/english2/english ver/ethical-gl/guidelines.htm, this scholarly study was exempt from ethical approval under Japan law and guidelines. Moreover, all remedies for breasts cancer tumor were undertaken with informed consents and consent were also taken up to confirm cancers medical diagnosis. These sufferers underwent medical procedures with axillary lymph node dissection. The procedure methods were 898280-07-4 manufacture categorized into three groupings: breasts conserving medical procedures, improved radical mastectomy, and regular radical mastectomy. All of the sufferers with breasts conserving medical procedures received rays therapy. Staging of pTNM and cTNM was evaluated regarding to UICC stage [7]. Variety of lymph node metastasis and ER position of the principal Rabbit Polyclonal to CST11 tumors were examined by workers of the Section of Pathology at Kyoto School Medical center. Using immunohistochemistry overall group of tumors, they evaluated estrogen receptor (ER) position within a standardized method. Inside our institute, the pathologists routinelyhave analyzed the ER position of tumors utilizing the immunohistochemistry because the 1980s. The contents of treatments for breast cancer patients were defined [6] previously. Based on the years of medical procedures the sufferers had been grouped into two cohorts: period I (1980C1989) and period II (1990C2005). In period I, improved radical mastectomy with 898280-07-4 manufacture lymph node dissection was included. In this era, breast-conserving medical procedures had not been performed, since it was not proven to end up being the prevailing technique in Japan.

Are you curious about what is involved in a piano lesson with me? Here are some of the concepts and materials I usually cover with my students.
-One or more songs from a trusted method book, such as Alfred, Bastien, Faber and Faber, or Thompson
-A piano scale and set of chords that are appropriate to the student's age and development
-Supplemental songs that the student is interested in (e.g., songs from Frozen, classic Disney movies, pop or hip hop artists, and any other musical styles the student enjoys)
-One to two pages from a solid music theory curriculum, to help the student learn important musical concepts
-Fun, easy note-naming quizzes
-Musical flashcards
-The music listening game–I play an excerpt of a Classical piece, and the student has to determine the mood, emotions, and tone of the piece
-The rhythm game–student has to guess certain musical rhythms to win
-Incentives, such as stickers for completed songs, candy for consistent practice, and occasional prizes for excellent work
We will cover most if not all of these materials, discuss how much the student practiced during the week, set new practice goals if need be, and write down the student's weekly assignments in their piano notebook. I will offer the incentives that the student has earned, and that will complete the lesson.
I am open to new ideas and students' suggestions for lesson activities as well. Feel free to contact me for more information. You can call or text 813-370-9529, or email me at email@example.com.

Our family eats a lot of rajma (a dish made of red or dark navy beans, from the Punjab region of India). This is the spice mix that we use to create the one pot version of the dish.
Rajma Masala Blend
1 part turmeric
3 parts red chili powder
2 parts coriander powder
2 parts cumin powder
1 part garam masala
Place all ingredients in an airtight glass or stainless steel container (plastic containers will become stained with the turmeric and chili powders) and shake until well blended. Store in a cool, dark place.
That's it. It's that easy.

As an indispensable antidote to indulgence in organized sport or other strenuous physical activity, the Germans have achieved a highly developed pub culture, where various alcoholic libations can loosen the tongue, warm the heart, and soothe a troubled mind.
Pub-hopping is a favorite activity with all levels of German society, and can be a good way to meet new people or solidify relations already begun. Representatives of various nationalities make their way to their favorite pubs (Kneipen) regularly.
By the way, beer is the most favored of beverages here. Germans have for decades been at or near the top of the charts for per capita consumption of the golden brew. It certainly won't hinder your social life if you yourself like to throw back a mug or two.

Ilook forward to what God has in store for us as a congregation in 2018. We will get things started in a grand way with our Imagine Celebration at all services on January 7. This past fall, we imagined what life would be like if we managed our money God's way. Through participation in Financial Peace University (FPU) classes, many persons learned how to live within their means and found freedom from debt and worry. On January 7th, we will celebrate how lives were transformed through the experience and "imagine" what might happen when we choose to honor God with all He's entrusted to our care – not just our money, but our time, talents, and relationships as well. You won't want to miss this fun and exciting start to the New Year.
We will follow up that celebration with a three-week sermon series called, "Imagine Great Relationships." Using the Great Commandment as a guide, we will explore how we can fulfill Jesus' directives to love God, others, and ourselves. I believe we will all benefit from these lessons since life is all about relationships and the Kingdom of God is a kingdom of right relationships.
I am very excited about our "Renewal 2018" that is planned for early February. My friend and mentor, Mark Nysewander, will be coming as our guest speaker. Mark is the teaching pastor at the Riverstone Church in suburban Atlanta and has served as a United Methodist pastor, evangelist, missionary, and church planter. He is the author of four books and has had a tremendous influence on my life and ministry. I really look forward to you meeting him and benefiting from his anointed ministry. On Saturday morning, February 10, Mark will teach a 3-session seminar on the coming of God's Kingdom and the return of Christ. Then he will serve as the preacher at our Sunday morning services and special nightly services, Sunday through Tuesday, February 11-13. Mark will describe what revival looks like and how we can avail ourselves to the work of the Holy Spirit. More details will follow, but for now, please mark your calendars, reserve the dates, and plan to attend. There will be activities for children during the evening services and nursery care will be provided.
As you can see, we are going to get off to a fast start in 2018. I believe we are in for an exciting ride, so "buckle your seat belts" and prepare to see God do His life-changing work. Please join me in praying for the Lord to bring renewal and revival to the Lynn Haven United Methodist Church so we, in turn, can make a difference for Christ and change our community and world. To God be the glory!
In Christ,
Craig CarterLead Pastor, LHUMC

I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer, to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.
So you'd think I'd be receptive to TV beer commercials. Most of these have the same plot: Some guys open some beers, and instantly the commercial is overrun by friendly, semi-naked young women resembling Barbie but taller and less intellectual.
If you just got here from Mars, you wouldn't know, from watching these commercials, that beer is meant for internal consumption. You'd think it was a chemical Hot Babe Attractant, similar to what moths use to locate each other so they can mate. You'd think that the Swedish Bikini Team was constantly prowling the countryside, sniffing the air for a whiff of Old Suburbs of Cleveland Beer, or whatever brand it is they're allegedly attracted to.

Toronto: Research In Motion released a long-delayed software update for its PlayBook tablet on Tuesday, hoping to give a fresh start to the unloved device and pave the path for its next-generation BlackBerry smartphones.
RIM`s PlayBook 2.0 software adds a built-in email function to the device, addressing what critics say was a major shortcoming of the original version, launched in April to scathing reviews.
"It`s what the first Playbook software should have been from a company which stakes its brand on messaging strength, with tightly integrated calendar, email, and contacts," said Frost and Sullivan analyst Craig Cartier.
Before the upgrade, which came months after it was initially promised, a user would have to tether the tablet to a BlackBerry to get email or access calendar and contact applications.
The botched PlayBook launch fueled growing investor pressure that culminated with a decision by RIM`s co-chief executives Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie to step down last month and hand over the reins to Thorsten Heins, a former Siemens AG executive who joined RIM back in late 2007.
The pair, who built the BlackBerry maker into a household name, weathered a storm of criticism in recent years as Apple`s iPhone and iPad, and the army of devices powered by Google`s Android system, eclipsed their email-focused BlackBerry.
How the PlayBook upgrade goes down with investors and analysts could set the tone for Heins` first year at the helm.
The tablet, which RIM has discounted heavily to boost flagging sales, runs on the company`s new QNX-based operating system and provides the blueprint for the first QNX-based BlackBerry, due out by the end of the year.
the Waterloo, Ontario-based company needs to have more QNX applications available before the new phones, powered by QNX software called BlackBerry 10, hit the market. It hopes the PlayBook upgrade will encourage developers to get started.
Analysts consider that crucial if the company that virtually invented the smartphone hopes to make up ground lost in recent years to Apple and Android.
"RIM appears to have re-positioned PlayBook from a standalone profit center at launch (at $499) to an investment to build and seed developer interest in its next-generation platform ahead of the launch of BlackBerry 10 later this year," RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky said in a note to clients.
The free upgrade also gives the tablet the ability to run applications written for Android, a tacit acknowledgement by the company that the dearth of RIM-specific apps has limited its appeal.
RIM sold just 850,000 PlayBooks to the end of November. By comparison Apple sold 15.4 million iPad tablets in its latest quarter.
RIM said the upgrade would add thousands of apps to its store, which currently has far fewer than Apple and Android stores.
The PlayBook software update will also feature a new BlackBerry video store and enhanced web browsing capabilities.
But at least two important features are missing. The upgrade excludes the popular BlackBerry Messaging (BBM) application and it is incapable with running older versions of RIM`s enterprise server software. That gives it limited appeal to RIM`s core audiences of corporate users and BBM fans, Abramsky said.
Shares of RIM, which have tumbled close to 80 percent over the last year, rose 1 percent to $15.21 on the Nasdaq on Tuesday.
