After a couple of weeks break I was back up to London with my friend Chris to continue walking the Capital Ring around London.
The weather was quite a mix today, the morning began with drizzle (we had some much needed rain overnight) but this had stopped by the time we stepped off the train at Streatham Common. Although for most of the morning it was cloudy it was not cold, and after the cloud thinned out a bit in the afternoon it became very warm again.
The first part of the route was not particularly interesting, mainly residential to start with, but a few bits of parkland. Probably the most interesting thing was walking alongside the railway line, not because of being near the railway, but because we were walking through areas that we had previously only seen from the train. One example was the fine looking building below in Streatham which was actually a water pumping station.
From Streatham the route took us through Balham to Wandsworth (past the prison), then onto Earlsfield and Wimbledon Park. From Wimbledon Park the path continued on to Wimbledon Common, this marked a change in the route, from mostly residential to more open country.
Wimbledon Common is perhaps best known as the home of the Wombles. As a fan of the Wombles since childhood I was somewhat disappointed not to actually spot any today. There is however a nice windmill on the common which is quite easy to spot, as was the welcome tea shop next door.
Wimbledon Common was quite easy walking and much softer underfoot, up until then most of the paths (even those across the parks) had been tarmac or concrete. Crossing a busy road on leaving Wimbledon Common took us into Richmond Park, again a much nicer place to walk.
According to the Royal Parks website, Richmond Park is the largest Royal Park in London and is home to "around 650 free roaming deer". We didn't spot any of them but then the park is almost 2500 acres, so they had plenty of space to hide.
For me there were only two things that spoilt Richmond Park. Firstly was the succession of aeroplanes that passed over head, on their approach to Heathrow Airport. The second was the state of the grass, it should have been a nice lush green, but the lack of rainfall in the last few months has really taken it's toll on the grass. Of course the grass will recover, but I doubt the skies will ever be clear of planes again until we have another volcanic eruption that grounds them all.
Apart from the planes it is the first time I have really felt like I was out in the countryside whilst walking this route, although we have been through some large parks the scale of Richmond Park was quite breathtaking. It is such a lovely place that I will have to put it on my list of places to visit again in the future.
We left Richmond Park by Petersham Gate, but before leaving we treated to some wonderful views out to the west across the Thames Valley, a view dominated by the rugby stadium at Twickenham. From Petersham we took a bus to Richmond where we caught the train back to Clapham Junction. Changing onto another train to head south to Sussex we passed through the area where we started our walk this morning, but seeing it from a slightly different perspective this time.

Canister Vacuums
Most of us don't enjoy housecleaning chores. In fact most of us dread it. However, vacuum cleaning systems make cleaning easier and faster, thus making the routine grind of cleaning less time consuming. Canister vacuum cleaners are compact and lightweight, so it's easy to tote them up and down the stairs. Storage is easy too, as these canister vacuums can be tucked away into small closets as well. To choose a canister vacuum for your cleaning needs, arrive at a budget, consider the performance of the brand you choose and make a choice between bagged and bagless canister vacuums. We recommend you choose canister vacuums with power selector so you can adapt suction force to the type of floor you clean. Check the weight of the canister vacuum before you choose one, ensure that the power cord is long enough to help you clean large areas and don't forget to consider the filtration system on the canister vacuum you choose. Opt for a HEPA filter if you have allergy sufferers at home.
There are so many varieties of vacuum cleaning systems available in the market today that it can be confusing to choose the best one for your needs and budget. Once you have determined that a canister vacuum cleaner is what you need, GoVacuum can help you narrow your choices further and lead you to the best canister vacuums for your home or office.

Because of this glorious excuse, I am posting an outfit of the day from when we had a few short days of Spring preview weather. I'm quite sick of winter so as soon as it hit the 70's, my House of Holland suspender tights flew onto my legs (Literally, they flew across the room onto my legs. You should've seen it.) and I flew across my living room to set up my new tripod. See? I'm getting better! I finally used a tripod to record an "outfit of the day". *curtsy*
If you follow me on Twitter, you will know that the day I actually wore this outfit I had on my black Theory Gratti blazer which is a cuter, more cropped fit than what I'm wearing in this video but it's currently at the tailors being altered. As I rarely wear any outfit more than once, I wanted to record this outfit concept before it flew (Again? What's with all the flying?) out of my mind completely so please forgive the slouchy boyfriend-ish fit here!
So there's also a bit of a story about this outfit. I was obviously feeling a bit self-conscious because I tend to be pretty conservative and not wear anything this risqué to work although I work in a creative department that can "get away" with wearing more fashiony or casual wear. On my way to lunch, I passed one of the directors who I saw give me an eye and then the Vice President of my department walked past as well while I was going up the stairs. Inside I was like OH NO DID I WEAR THE WRONG THING but shrugged it off and got in line for my food.
A couple minutes later I felt a tap on my shoulder from the VP.
He stopped me and said, "Can I just say--thank you. THANK YOU! You look fabulous today. Thank you. Thank you."
Needless to say, I was thoroughly embarrassed and flustered and flattered and had a big grin on my face for the next two hours. XD He even went to my manager and talked about my outfit and that he probably embarrassed me. Eeeeeeeeeee~
A couple more just 'cause. Here I am showcasing my grump face. I was having camera troubles. Lol.
And an example of why remotes are way better than camera timers, especially when you can only find the 2-second setting. MEGA FAIL!
Anyway, I hope you guys have a lovely day filled with people giving you lots of compliments that you can accept a little more gracefully than I was able to. Hermmm. Ahem. >_<

Twilight (2008)
Twilight was directed by Catherine Hardwicke and written by Melissa Rosenberg. It centres on the development of a relationship between a human teenager, Kristen Stewart's Bella Swan, and Robert Pattinson's vampire Edward Cullen, and the subsequent efforts of Edward and his family to keep Bella protected from another group of hostile vampires.
The film was released theatrically in November 2008.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
The Twilight Saga: New Moon was directed by Chris Weitz. Like the first film, the screenplay was penned by Melissa Rosenberg. The film charts Bella Swan's deep depression until she forms a strong friendship with werewolf Jacob Black. Jacob and his tribe must save Bella from Victoria, a vampire hoping to avenge the death of her mate by murdering Bella. A misunderstanding occurs, and Edward believes Bella is dead. Edward seeks to commit suicide in Volterra, Italy. He is stopped by Bella who is accompanied by Edward's sister, Alice. They meet with the Volturi, a powerful coven of vampires, and are released on the grounds that Bella is turned into a vampire in the near future. Bella and Edward are reunited. She and the Cullens return to Forks, the home town of Bella.
The film was released theatrically in November 20, and set a vast number of records. It is currently the biggest advance-ticket seller on Fandango and it had the biggest midnight opening in domestic (United States and Canada) box office history, amassing an estimated $26.3 million. Its sequel, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, smashed that record in June 2010, grossing $72.7 million on its opening day domestically, $709 Million Worldwide. It became the biggest single-day opening in domestic history. It is the eighth highest opening weekend in domestic history with $1.4 million.
More cool stuff
More information
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn was directed by Bill Condon. Author Stephenie Meyer co-produced the film along, with Melissa Rosenberg penning the script. The book's plot was split into two films, the first of which was released on November 18, 2011.>

For the last couple of years, I have thought BG's defense was about average for the position (despite commentary suggesting it was terrible). Over the last couple of games, however, he has seemed to elevate his defense to another level (see defense on Anthony Davis and the 4th quarter against Dirk as an example). Yes, we all know he has shockingly short arms for the position (which really means they are normal length), but he is using his quickness and body to keep guys away from the basket and force tough shots. And he is starting to time his jumps better when going for blocks. His style of play may lead to foul troubles in the regular season, but it could be huge in the playoffs. I could be overreacting, but there are signs that he is turning a corner.
He has it in him and has demonstrated that despite his average reach, he can lock down a defender when he wants. Too bad he doesn't do it often. That would put him, IMO, close to LBJ if he played like that consistently. Now if we can get DJ to play his man like that, we would be scary.
Slow your horses people one elite game where Blake controlled the fate of the game defensively and offensively doesn't all of a sudden make him Elite defensively, I want to see how this continues.
Not elite but he is an underrated defender. This season he has made the leap from decent defender to above average defender. He isn't consistent enough to be considered elite but his defense has been pretty good this season and he played great D on Dirk last night.
Let's not go to the other side of the spectrum either. I think he can be a solid defender, not an elite stopper, but solid. With how much pressure he can put on the offensive side that is more than enough. If he does become an elite defender then he can start arguing to be the best PF of all time, this might depend if you consider Duncan a center.
@Clipper*Joe I like that shot at DJ. You are relentless, I will give you that. I think it's different when you have to watch for guards penetrating or cutting as well as your man.
Agreed, I feel like his defense doesn't show on the scoreboard that often, but he does the little things right, such as taking charges, bother and alternate shots, moving well off the ball and getting the opposing player off position of the block. All he has to do is be more consistent, and he'll be recognized more
He's not elite yet, but he actually puts forth effort and is capable of good defense, unlike Love.
Not quite but he's getting better. He used to be a liability. Now he's effective but inconsistent.
He's not Elite right now, but he will be in 2-3 years. His strength and speed is 2nd to none along with his footwork and verticality.
He'll never be a face up shot blocker, but he can be an Elite chase down shot blocker. He really already has all the tools to be an Elite defender, but he needs to just give the effort every night and learn to incorporate it while also saving energy for offense.
If you look at what he did last night, it's remarkable. He shutdown a deadly 7 foot jump shooter with footwork and speed alone.
I like what I saw, but I'm okay with Blake playing solid D and conserving energy, and then ramping up the defense at the end when it's most needed. Heck, even Lebron can't play at elite D all the time.
It's not just the building a player. Even though I do think that needs to be part of a coaches job, you are getting 21 and 22 year old s and you can't expect them to know anything.
My son plays on an AAU team and he played on All-star team prior to that, and the difference in coaching is remarkable (I'm aware that it's a completely different level). The All-star coach tried to implement way too much and changed zones on a whim (like Vinny changing defensive schemes depending on the opponent), while the other coach (Doc and his system) gave them something more solid. After you've been around the league for a few years, then I'm sure you can adjust much quicker. That is why I think Lamar adjusted so quickly, and why Vinny chose him instead of trying something different.
I think Vinny stalled their growth as well as Bledsoe's, now all three look like much better players. Can it be a coincidence? Or maybe the common factor on why they are all so much more improved this year was that Vinny was holding them back.
^ Actually, Bledsoe improved just as much (arguably more) from his 2nd to 3rd year (under Vinny) as he has from his 3rd to 4th year.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... ser01.html
Most players break out in their 3rd or 4th year in the pros. BG was working on his game in the off-season when Doc wasn't on the radar. Cp3 is a finished product. Maybe respect the players pay to Doc is the difference but he didn't make them better. Doc has given BG the green light on offense to make plays which isn't really about building the player but utilizing assets Doc didn't KNOW he had. Doc has mentioned this ad nauseam. Vinny didn't stall Bledsoe's growth but he did stall his playing time due to having a better player ahead of him. But even then, Bledsoe was a hot commodity under VDN before he was traded.
As far as changing defensive schemes, you have to. There is a reason why there are scouting reports. You see how the Mav's changed their scheme on us from previous games? Those dbl teams any time BG got the ball? You tweak your defense based on teams you play. Oh, and VDN had players that loved him and got the best out of them ( Barnes, Crawford, Odom). Isn't funny that Barnes and Crawford were the ones that anticipated bad moves for them? Crawford not feeling respected and Barnes going crazy thinking he was going to be traded? Imagine the bad move Doc would have made if he traded barnes?
Making someone better as a coach (OR any leader for that matter) doesn't mean
you help the person work on their "Game".
Making a player better means you are putting him in the best position (With schemes, plays, etc...)
to utilize and develop the players gifts, talents, and skill-sets.
I'm a CEO with employees who work for me, and have studied a lot of leadership material
just as any good coach has.
Along with developing their skillset with schemes, it's also about developing their
mental. Which any great leader (coach) will tell you is more important than the
physical skills being developed.
My argument is Doc has made
DJ Better
Blake better
Chris Paul better
Doc putting DJ in the 4th qtr where took him out, has tremendously developed
DJ's confidence.
He gave DJ a ROLE and got him to believe he could be DPOY. This instilled motivation
and confidence in DJ by allowing DJ to see more in himself than he previously had.
Again something a great LEADER (Coach) does.
I could go on and on, but ask any great coach or just go watch
their presentations, Pete Carroll has a good one. Also Herman Edwards
Former coach of the Kansas City Chief has one on youtube.
While most people may think A player getting "better" just relates
to his "Work ethic" in the gym. Any great coach will tell you otherwise...
Again the role of the coach isn't just to "make schemes and draw up plays".
The GREAT coaches know that. The great coaches such as Phil Jackson
understand it's about
Getting players to believe (Motivation)
Seeing more in the players than the players see in themselves.
Putting the players in the right position to succeed.
Managing the fragile ego's of human beings and finding a way
to get them to work together towards a common goal.
All of these things when done correctly assist in allowing a human
being(Basketball player) develop their full potential.
Which Doc has done masterfully this season.
Nope, no he's not maybe it is possible, but elite defenders are guys who night in and night out are having a high defensive impact. I wouldn't describe Blake in that fashion
to utilize and develop the players gifts, talents, and skill-sets.
Of course you would disagree for the sake of disagreeing. Your description of making someone better is basically what i said in the post you quoted. Only a stupid coach would not utilize a players' skill, talents, and gifts. tell me something I don't know. That's what I described about Doc using BG as more of a playmaker.
And here I thought you were a postman. Developing their mental? What is that? I think you mean mentality for the game. I humbly disagree about mentality being the number one facet for a coach to teach his players. I personally don't believe that can be taught. I think a player develops that through learned experiences but hey, you're the one that does leadership How-to books.
I was writing a post, but figured it was too long and too much about Vinny rather than Blake as a defensive player so I will post it in a corresponding thread.
As far changing defensive schemes, we might not be understanding each other. Do you adjust if you are getting beat? Yes, you better. Those are tweaks, that must be done. Your defensive priorities don't change as a team though. The best defensive teams don't change on a daily basis. If you are going to judge that on what other teams let's go with the best defensive teams not Dallas (even though I think Carlisle is a top 5 coach in the NBA). If we are talking defensive teams should we try to emulate something more like Chicago, Indy, and/or Memphis. They don't change their defensive schemes on an opponent matchup. It's different if you try to deny the ball to a certain player or play zone for a short time to adjust to that particular game; then changing your defensive scheme for every opponent.
This also going to have a lingering effect on your younger players. Specifically Blake and DJ in this case. One day you are going over the top of the screen the other you are laying back. Best thing to do is to do it so much it's instinct not change it on a daily basis. I think this had an effect on their growth, and delayed their growth. I think Blake got effected by that and so did all the younger players.
Maybe Blake is a terrible defender or just doesn't try lol. The Clippers defense without him has looked superb. I am pretty sure it would look even better with Blake out there.

Nice interview, you can tell he follows our team. Basically says given how brutal the west is he's not going to guarantee WCF or finals but can easily see us there. Calls Doc a world class coach, Redick a dream fit for us.
Little dig at the Nuggets at the end. Lol good stuff.
I'm definitely happy we got Doc, but this makes me sad George Karl didn't get a gig this summer. Knows what he's talking about, seems chill.
Will be great to finally see Redick suit up and ball tonight.

These Mavs are no push overs but if we play our game we have got this!
Oh yeah. We remember what happened last season. Blake hit that amazing shot at the end of regulation that would have won the game, but Dirk flopped and we ended up losing in OT.
I had forgotten about that. That was a bad call by the refs.
That was also the game the Mavs constantly doubled CP3 from halfcourt, and no Clippers could do a thing about it.
The way Doc's using Blake, BG should be able to help in times where Paul gets doubled.
I bet Blake hasn't forgotten that, either. Robbed of one of the plays of the year.
Heck yeah. What a crazy shot. I'm still p.o.'d that the refs denied it.
Having Jamal starting could be quite useful for that scenario too!
Jamal played 34 minutes that game, he didn't do much,but it wasn't his fault. It's the coach that first needs to help remedy it. Get CP off the ball, have someone else initiate the offense and use him as a scorer, but Vinny didn't want to do that as much in that game despite the fact that he had done it at other times.
It was annoying.
I presume Doc will know all this and be ready to counter it if they try it again.
Nowitzki is supposed to be a game-time decision because of his ankle. I hope he doesn't play, lol. Clippers need to pad their division lead over the Warriors.
ETA: Here's the link to Nowitzki's status:
http://sportsblogs.star-telegram.com/ma ... night.html
^ Wouldn't be a total shock for Carlisle to rest him since they have a 3-game cushion in that 8-spot, but I think he'll go tonight. Unfortunately, with our poor road form lately, this is a very winnable game for the Mavs. Different story if it was at Staples.
Clippers are undefeated in 2014!!!!!!
We get to see the 3 best coaches in the West in a matter of 2 days. Love it.
Also 3 of the best PF's. Can't ask for much more than that....except for Clipper wins in both games, I guess.
This game should be very winnable for us. My only
concern is DJ on Dirk.
for some reason when teams run the pick and fade
with the big man Jordan hard traps and leaves his
man wide open for 15-18 footers.
This was really evident against portland
where they ran that same play for aldridge all
game and he was wide open for that shot every time.
They run the same exact play for Dirk. That pick and fade
around 15ft. Lets see if Doc has talked to DJ about it.
Should be Blake guarding Dirk that will be a good matchup.
Yea it was terrible. We ran no plays and everyone else had no clue what to do when CP3 was constantly doubled but now we have Doc not Vinny the Black.
Last time it wasn't too pretty and Blake got into foul trouble. Dirk is too tall for Blake to even disrupt his shot.
Revenge game for Darren maybe? He did play for the Mavericks lasts season! Comes out aggressive kinda like Byron Mullens did against the Bobcats
Can't believe we've only won 1 of our last 12 in Dallas... the Chauncey buzzer-beater. Hopefully, Ralph mentions it to CP3.
Means we are due !
If the refs do not play ref-ball (unlikely though,they love to screw us) and Dirk doesn't play or he re-injures himself in the first quarter,we can take this one. I think we can take most games with unbiased refs but that seems to be harder to find.
Monta always kills us. Hopefully DJ's improved interior defense will stop him from getting 40 on us.
Ha I was thinking the same think. But I don't know how he won't kill us we don't have anyone to guard him lol.
I'm tired of hearing all the refs being horrible excuses. There's no question the refs in the NBA are horrible, but in the end, they probably screwed ALL the NBA teams many times in the season, not just us.
So if you look at the season as a whole, every team is playing on even playing field. Good teams find ways to win even when calls don't go their way, bad teams don't. Simple as that.
Then you should probably stop frequenting fan sites.
Expecting fans of the maligned team to just ignore major officiating f*ck-ups is unrealistic to say the least.
I never said ignore the ref situation... All I said was good teams win games where the refs make bad calls, and that's the truth. If you want to keep using that as an excuse go ahead and be ignorant about the truth.
I want the team to win as much as anybody here.
Just because you're a fan doesn't mean you become unrealistic about your team.
If this fan site only consist of people who believe their team is "perfect" and will only take positives/excuses for the team's failures. And any criticism is unacceptable...
Then I guess it is not for me.
^ Steady there, tiger.
Did I (or anybody else) say the team was perfect?
We lost the same fixture last year on a bullshit call. It's perfectly legitimate to bring it up this year. If you don't see that, YOU'RE the ignorant one.
Refs did screw us last year against Mavs. But Ron wasn't just talking about that one game.
I am expecting more of the same from BG. Core guys need to step up to help. Also, D needs to be aggressive.
Every fan base bitches about the officiating. Sh!t happens and the elite teams get though it. Will see where we stand at seasons end.
Hey guys the game is about to start so lets have some positive vibrations to support our team
Refs did ruin that game. But I guarantee you it wouldn't get as much attention if it was not on national TV. Many teams lose because of refs, the NBA will only take charge if it is a big game, or on national TV.
Forget all this, let's enjoy the game lol.
Jared Dudley looks healthy now! This is the guy I know from PHX
Too easy there for Dallas. Way too easy.
Lazy defense and offense.
DJ is sleeping on defense badly. Getting outbounded even when he has position.
That is a start I really don't like. Doc neither.
Is this team sick of being terrible on the road? Champions win on the road.
Poor start by the Clippers. Lots of missed shots and dribbles.
We look errible. What the heck is it with these threes. Pathetic.
Everyone is sleeping on defense. Cp3 and Crawford can't dribble or keep the ball for crap.
Can someone explain how does Marions shot goes in? Unreal!!!
Jared back to being Dudley-do-no-right.
We need to play like castoffs.
Welp,guess we will be in a solid 3rd place in the Pacific division by MOnday
Love watching Marion shoot.

Responsible voice needed
The current debate about gun control illustrates dramatically the different world view of liberals and conservatives.
The conservatives see all of the bad things that can happen, e.g. home invasions, government take-over, street muggings, etc.
The liberals however see how idyllic we could be and try to achieve that nirvana, e.g., there would be fewer bad guys if we had a great educational system, a good safety net, job training, fewer weapons to kill people, etc.
To the liberals putting more guns in schools and making kids wear bullet-proof vests is an admission of defeat. To the conservatives it is folly not to be fully prepared for the worse.
The liberals see how good things could be – the conservatives see how bad things could be.
The truth, of course, lies somewhere in between and we need a rational dialogue to find the optimal middle ground – something that will only happen if we have a responsibleconservative voice, which is sorely lacking at the moment.

Hearts of Space: Universe 2
Availability: In stock.
Product Description
1. "Evolutions/Twilght" (9:47 medley) from Sea Of Glass by GILES REAVES [HS 11030]
The ex-MCA Master Series artist reappears after a three year hiatus with his strongest album to date. These two pieces showcase his love of complex rhythms, finely hewn electronic voicings and an instinctive feel for evocative ambiance.
2. "Sagrada Familia" (4:20) from Gaudi by Robert Rich [HS 11028]
A shadowed processional continues the ambient soundspace with rare and subtle harmonies in Just Intonation, from Rich's tribute to the amazing cathedral in Barcelona designed by late 19th / early 20th century Catalonian architect Antonio Gaudi.
3. "Tracery" (4:36) from Gaudi by Robert Rich [HS 11028]
the flowing mode of rich's music employs gently buoyant conterpoint and third world polyrhythms, also with natural harmonies in Just Intonation.
4. "Songs Of The Harper" (5:21) from Muse Of The Round Sky by PAUL AVGERINOS [HS 11029]
Space and film music composer Avgerinos crafts a rich harmonic ambience on keyboards and bass; a deepening drama unfolds with a haunting oud solo by Ara Dinkjian.
5. "Deidre Of The Sorrows" (4:54) from Sirens by Mychael Danna [HS 11026]
A gloriously sad and beautiful Celtic ballad in 3/4 with Toronto film and spacemusic composer danna's keyboards and a spine-tingling chorus of Uillean pipes.
6. "Leap" (3:30) from Cantilena by Bill Douglas [HS 11021]
A joyous Celtic dance with the Boulder, Colorado composer/performer's signature melodic keyboards and hand percussion by Geoff Johns.
7. "Gliding Song" (3:30) from Song Of Hope by BRUCE STARK [HS 11025]
A Juilliard-trained composer now living in Tokyo, Stark makes sublimely intelligent music without sacrificing accessibility or popular appeal. This piece really does glide, with cascading polyrhythms in 5 and 7.
8. "And Evening Falls" (2:25) from Beguiled by Tim Story [HS 11027]
Ohio's heir to the aesthetic strategies of Eric Satie, composer and keyboard artist Story has numerous releases in Europe and two in the U.S. on Windham Hill. This is one of his brief, yet gently epic soundscapes.
9. "Her Cathedral" (5:06) from Beguiled by Tim Story [HS 11027]
A poignant theme for piano backed by ghostly curtains of synth waves leaves you ambiguously suspended in Story's deeply felt modern chamber music.
10. "Earth Prayer" (4:59) from Cantilena by Bill Douglas [HS 11021]
A measured pace and hymn-like atmosphere created by Douglas' keyboards provide the setting for beautiful solos on cello by David Lockington and clarinet by Bil Jackson.
11. "Recuerdos de la Alhambra" (5:47) from Flamenco Mystico by Gino D'Auri [WC 11300]
From our new World Class label, this piece is a departure on the album though in the context of this compilation, it fits right in. This is L.A.-based flamenco master D'Auri's unorthodox, inverted version of Francisco Tarrega's classical guitar favorite, with lush orchestrations by keyboardist Teja Bell.
12. "Surrender" (9:00) from Music To Disappear In by Raphael [HS 11023]
A dreamy, romantic Scheherezade-like ambiance created with Western classical, Indian and other multi-cultural elements by Hawai'i-based keyboard artist Raphael.
13. "Eastern Star" (4:50) from Festival Of The Heart by John Boswell
This serenely beautiful song is one of two Boswell originals on an album of traditional Christmas favorites. The Spotlight is on the New York composer/performer's radiantly emotional piano playing with orchestration and supporting keyboards by producer Brian Keane.
14. "Waltz" (3:30) from Song Of Hope by Bruce Stark [HS 11025]
A coda for Universe 92, as performed on the 9' concert grand. Stark describes the piece as "a midnight waltz - shadowed, solitary and nostalgic."

Really this is no longer TARGETT/HILTON story, but just HILTON or SAUNDERS/HILTON story because the TARGETT side of the equation seems quite normal.
If truth I am unlikely to find out any more about the relationship between William TARGETT and Ruth HILTON before their marriage, although there may be something in the parish records that suggests that William was urged (or forced) to take responsibility for his actions and do the decent thing and marry Ruth.
I still need to find William and his parents in the census, prior to his marriage and unless they happen to have been living next door to Ruth HILTON there is probably nothing else that will provide a connection between the two.
The HILTON side is more interesting, and more of a challenge. Having no ages or parents names for Ruth HILTON's parents is going to make things awkward, but there are still other places to look for clues.
I don't expect to find a marriage for Ruth's parents, at least not to each other. There is of course the chance that one or other of them died around the time of Ruth's birth, which is why they never married, so I need to check for burials and in the GRO Death Index.
I would hope to find some mention of Ruth and her mother Eliza in the parish records for Duncton, Sussex. It seems likely that Duncton parish would have had to support Eliza if she or Ruth's father were unable to provide for the child. So I need to check to see if there are any overseers records amongst the papers for Duncton parish.
My best bet however it to try and find Ruth in the 1841 and 1851 census. Hopefully she will be living with either one of the parents, or perhaps grandparents. In an ideal world Ruth would have been living with her mother in one census and her father in the other, but the chances of that seem very slim.
If that doesn't provide me with enough clues, then I need to try and find Richard SAUNDERS and Eliza HILTON in the 1841 and 1851 Census. If Ruth is not with them then it is not going to be possible to say for certain they are the right people. Fortunately the names are not particularly common so it might be possible to produce a small list of likely suspects and narrow them down one by one.
This is going to take some carefully research, but I am confident that it will be possible to take both of these lines back further. I would be interested to see if there is a history of naughty young girls in the HILTON family, or whether there was some respectability amongst the earlier generations.

Further readings for the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Panasonic's upgraded FZ330 bridge camera offers a 24x optical zoom lens with fixed f/2.8 aperture and image quality on par with cameras in its class.
With a 24-720mm equivalent zoom and built-in electronic finder housed in a pocket-friendly body, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS50 occupies what manufacturers call the "travel zoom" compact category. At first sight these models look promising, but the small body and large zoom range mean they house relatively small-sized image sensors that may compromise image quality. Read on to find out how well the sensor in this model performs.
Intended for travel photography or everyday use, the 16-Mpix Panasonic DMC-FZ70 features a optical stabilized lens with an astonishing 60x zoom range. Read on to find out how this compact 'super-zoom' model performs.
Alongside a successful line of Mirrorless Hybrid cameras Panasonic continue to refresh their lineup of fixed lens Bridge cameras. Launched in July 2012 the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ200 offers a 24x super zoom, 12fps continuous shooting and 1080 60p HD video. Upgraded from its predecessor, the Lumix DMC-FZ150, this latest model also boasts a fixed maximum aperture, higher resolution EVF, greater ISO and shutter speed ranges as well as a new HDR mode.
DPReview: Canon PowerShot SX50 HS Review
To website
For photographers who just can't get enough telephoto power, there's the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS HS. This camera packs a whopping 50X, 24 - 1200mm lens, which is more than you'll find on any other super zoom on the market (at least for now). While having all that telephoto power sounds appealing, keep in mind that you'll need to either use a tripod or crank up the ISO a bit in order to get a sharp photo at full telephoto, and of course the latter comes with a penalty in image quality. The SX50 HS has received a nice face-lift since last year's PowerShot SX40, with good control placement and solid build quality. The only thing I don't really like is the rear dial, which is flush with the four-way controller and difficult to turn. I think this camera would also benefit from having a side-mounted zoom controller, which you'll find on some of its competitors.Read the article
Looking at the specifications for Canon's new PowerShot SX50 HS may leave you thinking that you have opened the pages of some futuristic fantasy: a compact camera with a zoom lens that covers a range equivalent to 24mm up to 1200mm with a digital zoom doubling this figure! Well specifications don't take pictures; photographers do, if they have the right camera. Is this the right camera?
Canon's PowerShot SX50 HS is a bulbous image snapper. Its large size is partly because of its optical zoom, which is the industry's first to reach 50x. Who needs a telescope when you have a camera with specs like that? Read DxOMark's preview to find out more highlights of the PowerShot SX50 HS.

Great sensor but the max. aperture of the lens...
This would be a fantastic bridge camera if the optics were faster. Max. aperture "only" f/3.4 @24mm - f/6.5 @1200mm.
Assuming the max. aperture grows linearly when zooming in, you get f/5 @600mm. Panasonic FZ200 has f/2.8 @ 600mm! This means 2 2/3 EV advantage, in other words shooting FZ200 @600mm f/2.8 & ISO400 would mean @600mm SX50 f/5 & around ISO 1300! That high ISO will destroy the image badly.
Of course, you cannot enjoy the long end of the zoom 600mm - 1200mm with FZ200...

Re: Great sensor but the max. aperture of the lens...
Well, the f2.8 of the FZ200 sounds better than it is in reality.
Compare to the SX50, the noise performence of the FZ200 is much worse.
For example, when you zoom to 600mm with the FZ200 in F2.8 iso100
and you have.. lets say a shutterspeed of 1/120s ...
you just can put the SX50 in ISO400 easily and still have the same noise performence as the FZ200.
The very good noise performence of the SX50 compare to the FZ200 is kind of
an equalizer to the constant aperture of the FZ200.
The SX50 delivers a better imagequality in general. i would say the best of all
bridge/megazooms so far.
in addition.. iso1600 is still very good usable on the SX50(especially in raw).. on the FZ200 its total crap.

NEW YORK (AP) — It has been two years since a disillusioned band of protesters first pitched tents in lower Manhattan, sparking the movement against corporate greed known as Occupy Wall Street.
On Tuesday morning, about 100 Occupiers returned to the small granite plaza near the New York Stock Exchange that once teemed with thousands of protesters.
But this time around, the park was barely half full. Most of the granite benches were empty. The number of police officers and reporters nearly equaled the number of protesters.
Small groups of protesters marched around the streets near Zuccotti in the morning, while another march to Washington Square Park clogged the sidewalks in the early afternoon. .
"We're still out here fighting for economic justice. The bankers still have all the power," protester Linnea Paton said. "They've bought our government and we need a people's movement to do that, and the movement is still here."
Occupy was perhaps at its most effective in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, when organizers played a leading role in grassroots disaster relief across the city.
They organized donation hubs, delivered food and medications to elderly storm victims and helped people repair their homes, among other volunteer efforts.
"We're here to celebrate two years: We're still here, still fighting, still strong," protester Sumumba Sobukwe told a small crowd gathered on the steps leading into the park. "And we're still Occupy."
But the question of exactly what Occupy is at this point remains muddled by the vast number of competing interest groups promoting their own causes under the Occupy banner.
A website called "Occu Evolve," a subgroup that says it is devoted to "expanding" Occupy into a movement, posted a long list of activities planned throughout the day that will be hosted by various protest groups, including Alternative Banking Working Group of Occupy Wall Street, Families of Police Violence, Money Wars Performers, Occupy Staten Island and Occupy Wall Street Zapatistas.
Barbara Lynch, who was advocating for higher wages for fast-food workers, said Occupy is still alive and isn't going anywhere, even though the movement has shifted toward working in smaller groups.
"The CEOs are still making outrageous sums of money. And now it's time that they have to pay," she said. "We can't sacrifice anything more."
Occupy activists mark second anniversary

Nice to see Lamar get a chance to play somewhere. If playing basketball professionally again provides him with the stability he needs, here's hoping he finds it, wherever that may be. But I will miss him as a "Clipper". Good Luck
I hope Lamar finds his way back to the NBA after his stint in Spain. It seems like a good plan for him to play there, get his NBA legs back, and stay away from the limelight. Being far away from the Kardashians is the right way to go too, lol. Get straightened out, Lamar!
Great for Lamar.Hope he gets his life together.Wouldn't mind picking him up next year if he does well in Spain.He is a well liked teammate and seems like a good dude.He has been threw a lot and made a lot of mistakes.Hope it all works out for him.
The deal is for two-months, maybe he's getting in shape to sign with us before the playoffs.
If it is for that long it seems most likely that he is doing it to get game ready for a playoff team. The Clippers, another team or just to make him a better prospect for any offer that might come along..................who knows?
Heard he's been awful in Spain against lesser competition.
He hasn't played in the NBA this year, so he is playoff eligible even if he signs the last day of the season, like Tracy McGrady last year. He signed only a two month contract, which ends right around the same time as the NBA regular season, so if someone wants him, he should be available.
He's only played two games so far and he's not done too well, he's slow and fouling and turning the ball over a lot.
I read a Hoopshype tweet last week that said Lamar had a back injury and results were being sent to the U.S. for a second opinion. If this is the case, he's in worse shape than ever.
I'll take Marcus Camby over Lamar Odom
A Tribe Called Bench 2.0!
The Marcus Camby that's been injured the last 2 seasons?
I think we don't need anyone.
A) odom has sucked a fat one in Spain.
B) we can't add anyone else to the team for the playoff run as far as i know. teams are as is, unless that was just the last day to be bought out and still join a playoff team.
B) yes you can, IF that FA player has not played in the current NBA season. Those type of FA's are still eligible till the last regular game of the year.

Compare great SAAB Oil Change prices in Harringay with Who Can Fix My Car.
Excellent service. Picked up and delivered the car in the given time. Car also cleaned. Thanks Daniel for your honest and excelllent service --Regards Suresh Canning town
Daniel's friendliness and customer service is second to none. Audi A3 cambelt kit, water pump and coolant fitted. Work completed as scheduled at the price estimated. Car cleaned inside and out too. Can't fault the whole experience, I'm so happy I've found a mechanic I can trust.
Superb. Great customer service. Daniel is a person who will tell You what exactly need to be done and he's mechanic who is not inclined to rip his clients off. Also very clean garage. Great communication during the whole process - even if You are not there. I can honestly recommend!
Exelent service I will be back again next time .
Car Technic did a great job. I am very satisfied. Will definitely come back. One of the biggest factor why this job felt so satisfying is the guy who took care of it: Daniel. He delivered everything he promised on time and with the best possible quality. Thank you so much.
Very impressed with the service and speed in which Mike solved the problem with my van. Can highly recommend him.
I finally found a great mechanic next door! He offered me to collect my car at my address, then showed me all the parts which I needed to be replaced, giving me different options of parts about quality and prices. He kept me updated about the work progress and He took only one day to fix it. ( Only because the parts wasn't available straight away). Now my car runs perfectly without any problems. I definitely suggest this garage!
I got Mike from Sphynx Vehicle Repairs for a computer diagnosis and i was very happy about him. He gave me a very specific explanation about what is wrong with the car and the costs of repair. Next time i will have a problem with my car, i know where to go. Recommend him 10/10.
When I put my request for a quote through the website Mike was the first one to get in touch with me. I said wow that was quick but I am going to wait it out to see what other quotes I receive. After a couple of days I thought let me contact Mike as he was the first one to call, I called him and his troubleshooting skills were put to the test as he was able to accurately tell me what the fault was without even him having a look. He confirmed the faults once he saw the car and got it resolved quickly! I would recommend Mike to everyone, his customer service skills are amazing and always contactable!
Mikes a nice guy. Responsive, very transparent with pricing and informative. Wouldn't hesitate to use again or recommend.
They were great :)
If it would be possible I would give zero star for this garage. Outrageous service, I am not sure if I can call that "service". The owner of this garage is extremely rude, phlegmatic and DISRESPECTFUL! And according to my opinion he is probably racist towards Eastern-European people! First, we discussed the time and the date when for a 1 and half hour work to fix my car. But when I arrived there at the first time (in the arranged time), they did not fix my car because they said I am late. I am just saying we were communicating via this website in chat form, so I have everything in written form. I can prove everything. I was not late. I thought I can give them a second chance (because of their really good price), so we discussed the time and date again via this website, and I went there again in the arranged time, but the same thing happened, but this time the owner of the garage was even yelling to me! Their price offer was so good (£120 cheaper from any other offer), thus I gave them a third chance. But this time I called them before I go there (since I did not want to waste my time and fuel again), they confirmed I can go immediately and they will fix my car (they said it will take 1 and a half hour), but when I arriced there they said I was late again. I arrived there at 10AM and they said I need to leave my car there until 2PM. I told them I work with my car, the only reason I came here on this day in this time because they confirmed I can come here now for 90 minutes work. I told them again, I work with my car, then I got the usual answer from the owner of the garage: "not my problem". Then I left them without any word. They wasted my time and fuel, 3 times and my car is still not fixed! The owner has zero customer service skills, zero flexibility towards customers (his answer to everything: "not my problem, is it?" or "not my business, is it?"). I would never recommend this garage to anyone. Seriously anyone who reads this: AVOID THIS GARAGE!
I don't usually use sites like these to get my car repaired, but i was desperate, so i ended up using this site. Out of all of quotes i got, these guy's came out by FAR the cheapest, at least £100 cheaper than everybody. I thought at first there was a catch, like one of the previous garage's i called on here, they quoted £220 for just the labour and not the parts. But NO these guy's quoted me on exactly how much it would cost ! Quick service, no messing around. They even fitted in some missing clips on my front bumper which was nice of them. And also to top that i asked them how much it would cost to replace my back light bulb and they did that for free too ! Great, quick, reliable service. Will definitely be seeing these guy's again if something (Touch wood nothing) goes wrong ! Daniel.
Paul was very helpful even to the point of picking up my car and returning it. They did a great job. In a good time. I'm just sorry my insurance company were slow on paying up their end. Hopefully now resolved. I will be sending my mums car to him soon. Happy to recommend them to others. AK N14
No I would not recommend this garage. We paid for the vehicle delivered to your garage on the 23/03/16 for a Cam Belt change, we also had the Clutch replaced and Water Pump whilst you had the vehicle, with the understanding that we needed the vehicle back in time for a contract job we was doing. We picked the vehicle up and paid £1050.00 in which we paid when the invoice should have been for £950.00 because we supplied the cam belt kit and drive belt. We paid again for the vehicle to be returned to your garage because the battery went flat and didn't start on the 30/03/16 and then we had to hire a splitter van to replace ours, for 3 days at a rate of £130.00per day. We paid to have the vehicle to be picked up after you telling me that it was the battery at fault, so we agreed to offset the over payment for a new battery. We used the vehicle on 02/04/16 and that evening the vehicle lost lighting it went dim first and then all the warning lights started to come on. We lost the vehicle hire £100.00 for that day of the 02/04/16, and had subcontract hire at a rate of £150.00 for the 03/04/16 for not having a vehicle to for fill our contract. We did not return the vehicle, because of no confidence. We had the vehicle tested, and we was told that the Alternator was faulty so I replaced it myself after taking a photo of the of its position then still getting the right reading from the new Alternator the vehicle was taken to an Auto Electric Technician in which we found that your garage had put the alternator belt on incorrect so it was turning the wrong direction, so we didn't need a battery or an alternator because the vehicle never had a starting or charging problem before it went to you plus the damage to be repaired at a cost £150.00 This is a breakdown of our invoice to you of our losses.
Brilliant garage. I needed this wing mirror very quickly as I had to go Glastonbury the next day and these guys got it done straight away. They were also friendly, honest and as someone who's had a lot of bad experiences with garage these awesome guys put me at ease. Not to mention the price was very reasonable considering some chain garages were quoting me over double! Will never going anywhere else now! Thanks again :)
Prompt and efficient service
Very friendly and prompt service, really happy with the job. I've used these guys a few times now and will definitely use them again.
The whole experience was very simple and professional. Work completed to a high standard and met all expectations. A pleasure to deal with.
Great service. Did the job in one day and communicated every step of the way. Both Patrick and Al were very personable. Would use their services again.
This is an excellent local garage that I wish was more local to me - but worth the journey. Joe, who runs the office side of the business, is brilliant and reassuring (my car is extremely old). There were clear explanations at every stage and all the work was fast and efficient. I highly recommend this garage
Efficient service, repair as requested, competitive price, car left clean etc. Recommended

Nobody contacted me the garage did not even call me and this is two attempts to use a service from this site with no one getting back to arrange an appointment had to use Kwikfit to get my car done
Very good service

Job was quick, unbeatable prices. But, my dash board computer was not reset. Because of that I'll give 4 of 5.Apart from that great work, great price.
I chose Chiswick Tyres on price and the fact they could have my car ready the next day. They are total amateurs car wasn't ready next day and they had to call on a friend to help them get it started (I only had a new clutch) while I waited!!! My car was covered in grease inside and out. DO NOT go there
