Some remembrances of a schoolboy evacuee; regarding the first year of the war of 1939 to 1945.
Written By William L. Dean, August 31st 2006
Penmaenmawr, North Wales 1939
I was born in the city of Liverpool, and when I reached the age of six years our father aged thirty seven was accidentally killed. Our mother was left with three little sons. A baby of two years old, me a boy of six and my brother named Neville (after Mr. Neville Chamberlain) was nine years old. Our mother was a great provider and we were a most happy family. During 1938 we as children all over the British Isles, were told of the build up of the German nation's military power. The British general public considered that due to Germany taking over so many European countries, that war may be ahead of our country.
During 1938 and 1939 all residents of the British Isles were measured for the issuance of government furnished gas masks. There were three sizes of masks; small, medium and large. I well remember being at elementary school when the local government officials arrived to measure all students and teachers for the issuance of gas masks. I worked after school as an order delivery boy for a local greengrocer. This was in the district of Stoneycroft, a residential area of Liverpool. It was during the summer of 1939 when the public was informed that the schoolchildren that resided within the city of Liverpool's ring road named "Queens Drive" would be evacuated from the city.
My eldest brother Neville had left elementary school in 1937; when he was fourteen years old. He was sixteen in 1939 and worked forty eight hours per week as a laundry delivery boy, boys his age would not be evacuated from the cities. I was at and still attending elementary school and was aged thirteen. My younger baby brother was now nine years old. During part of August 1939 the headmaster of my elementary school informed the teaching staff and the parents of the children that the school was to be evacuated to North Wales. We were told that all were scheduled to leave Liverpool from Stanley railway station (the nearest station to the school) departure was to be at 9:00am Sunday September 3rd 1939.
My mother asked me what I thought of being evacuated and to be responsible for the brotherly care of my nine year old brother John. I told her that I thought that it was only a war scare, and that in a few weeks we would be returned home to Liverpool. In the meantime it would be a nice short holiday for all who were going the lady manager of the greengrocery and her assistants with whom I worked after school, also asked why I had decided to go on this evacuation. I made the same responses, that it was merely a war scare and we would not be away too long.
During late August 1939; the total population of Britain was all issued with gas masks. Delivery vehicles came to every home, and gave each resident a government furnished gas mask, each gas mask was contained in a cardboard box. This box container had a string attached so that it could be carried on the shoulder. Everyone was instructed to carry their gas mask with them at all times.
On the Sunday morning September 3" 1939 1 stood with my younger brother and our mother on the pavement adjacent to Stanley railway station in Liverpool We had our travel cases which contained our clothes and toothbrushes etc. After our arrival at the station the children at our school were each provided with an orange coloured luggage label which was to be attached to our coat lapels. The labels were for identification. It was a fair day without rain, and all the evacuees were lined up ready to get onto the train. Our school was a parochial Church of England elementary school under the regulations of the City of Liverpool Education Committee. We were all of the protestant religion and I thought it unusual that we would be wearing orange identification tags which was the colours of the Orange Lodges of Northern Ireland which was very anti Roman Catholic.
At the railway station was another local school called St. Edwards, a Roman Catholic elementary school. All the people from St. Edwards were given a green tag to wear on their jackets. So we had the orange and the green. This surely indicated who was a protestant and who was a Roman catholic. Why I thought, were these young children made aware that there was a difference in their adults faith at so early a stage in forming their lives?
At nine o'clock that morning we said goodbye to our parents, and families, then the steam train hooted, and off we travelled to the town of Penmaenmawr. It is known as "the principality of North Wales". The carriages were the central corridor type of
accommodations, and the children were able to easily visit each other as the journey progressed. It was as I previously mentioned a fine day. We enjoyed the trip, looking out at the sea and the Welsh countryside until our arrival.
The train arrived prompt at 1 1:00am at the Penmaenmawr railway station; we all exited the train to be taken by all walking to a recreational hail in this small town. It is worthy of note that the British Government had at 9:00 am that day September 3'l939 when we evacuees left Stanley station for our visit to Penmaenmawr, given Germany, Britain's final ultimatum regarding Germany's recent invasion of Poland. At 11:15am that morning, Mr. Neville Chamberlain the British prime minister told the world that a state of war existed between Great Britain and Germany. Whether we were Protestants or Roman Catholics tagged orange or green we were all in this together.
Now, the continuing story of the evacuees, We arrived in Penmaenmawr, a seaside resort and a quarry town. This was an Urban District Council town located in Caernarvonshire, located five miles from Conway and eleven miles from Bangor. The town was well known for its rock quarries and its name was common to all road contractors. A company known as The Penmaenmawr and Trinidad Lake Asphalt Company, it furnished road making materials to all parts of the British Isles. The majority of the residents of Penmaenmawr were either associated with, or worked in the hillside quarries for this company.
On this historic Sunday morning September 3 1939, evacuees all gathered together in the local community hail just after war had been declared. Each schoolchild was then assigned to a local resident's home to be billeted during their stay in this evacuation town. My brother John and 1 were sent to a family which operated a holiday type boarding house. This family took in several evacuees. That night I listened to the BBC radio and heard Mr. Chamberlain our Prime Minister announce that a state of war existed between Great Britain and Germany. The grown' up women around us, were crying and the men were resigned to the fact that Germany had to be stopped. Later we heard the dreadful news that an outward bound liner to the United States, the Athenia of 13500 tons had been torpedoed by a German U- boat. It reported a loss of one hundred and twelve lives, (twenty eight of them American citizens). I went to bed that night thinking that the Germans had wasted no time and further- more that this evacuation was not to be a short holiday I realized that we the British were in it to the finish. Also I would now be in North Wales until I was fourteen and ready to enter the labour market in Liverpool.
The home that my young brother and I were first accommodated in Penmaenmawr was proven to be unsatisfactory to the local officials, and we were then moved to and accommodated with a Mr. and Mrs. George Roberts who resided on David Street in Penmaenmawr. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts had a young daughter named Shiela. At the Roberts residence were two other brothers who attended our school. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts with their young daughter, were a most caring and loving family.
Mr. Roberts rented a piece of land in the hills just a short walk from his home. It was a generous piece of property on which he raised poultry. He was a well experienced poultryman. He had constructed various poultry buildings and built six foot high wire mesh fencing all around the rented area. Mr. Roberts held a full time job at the local quarry.
Mr Roberts had all types of chickens and turkeys on his poultry farm. They included Rhode Island Reds, Black Minorca, Leghorns, Bantams and others. Not having a father and with only memory glimpses of my deceased father, also that my young brother John had no memory whatsoever of his father, Mr. Roberts was a man to look up to and respect. He and Mrs. Roberts invited all the boys to call them Pop and Ma.
He was a man that all boys who had a desire to learn would enjoy being with. He was a very proud Welshman, Mrs. Roberts first name was Rose, she was born in England Mr. Roberts and his young daughter were both fluent in the Welsh language. Mrs. Roberts had through the years learnt some welsh, but not knowing the language thoroughly, it did not seem to bother her. Rose Roberts was a great cook, she seemed to enjoy feeding the now five males in her home. The government immediately announced that due to the war, the British people would be deprived of bananas, spanish onions, oranges and many other imported foods. We the inhabitants of Britain all lived on an island, and out in the ocean lurked the German U- boats, ready with their deadly torpedoes awaiting and lurking to sink our the unarmed supply ships. The Battle of the Atlantic was just beginning, and the people of Liverpool who made their living by the manning of merchant ships, they would be well represented in Britain's fight to keep the sea lanes open. The safety of our merchant sea going fleet was desperately required in order to feed the people of Britain. A few days after the declaration of war with Germany, we were told that more and more of our shipping fleet were being sunk.
It was a gloom that was felt every time we were told another shipping vessel was lost at sea, no survivors. Little did I know at that time that our then sixteen year old elder brother within less than a year he would be sailing the Atlantic Ocean, as a crew member on a lone unescorted tanker ship. This ship transported high octane fuel from the United States for use by the Royal Air Force. This fuel was required to supply our country's fighter aircraft in the Battle for Britain that was yet to come. A truly momentous time in our country's history, and here I was evacuated to the hills and coastline of North Wales.
School classes commenced soon after our arrival in our new accommodations. We shared the regular Penmaenmawr elementary school with the local students. The classes were initially halftime until various areas of the existing school were made to accommodate the evacuees. We had our regular teachers and our education seemed to progress as normal. Our school was a segregated school wherein the girls were separated from the boys. Our classes consisted of all boys however the local Welsh school classes were integrated or mixed with boys and girls.
It was early September and we evacuees were eager to try the swimming in the bay of Conway waters. We young boys went to the beaches as often as we were allowed, the area was a holiday resort, but due to the commencement of the war few visitors remained. We the Liverpool children made friends with the local children and played competitive games such as football (soccer ).Our school nearly always lost to the Penmaenmawr home teams, we realized that the boys in Penmaenmawr had experienced more soccer than we had. During my stay with Mr. Roberts he offered to teach me how to assist him in the running of his poultry farm.
Soon after my arrival in Penmaenmawr, I applied to one of the local newsagents W. H. Smith & Sons for a newspaper delivery job. Each morning I was at the newsagents shop to obtain the hand cart which other boys and we all took it down the bill from the main street to the railway station. We then waited for the train to stop in Penmaenmawr when the train unloaded the national newspapers. Then heave ho we the delivery boys pushed the hand cart back up the hill to the main town thoroughfare, and the store. I was given the use of the shop bicycle and I delivered papers to the "Old Village" called Dwygyfylchi. As I delivered the newspapers I was able to read the headlines relating to the war.
At the start of the war I read about the U-boat attacks, the Soviet attack on eastern Poland, the sinking of one of our famous ships the Royal Oak. The Soviet attack on the country of Finland happened at the end of November 1939. The battle of the River Plate and the scuttling of the German battleship the Graf Spee took place in December 1939. As a mere newsboy I was in touch with the news of the war, and it was disheartening. Norway was invaded together with the Netherlands and Denmark
Life for the evacuees in Penmaenmawr was peaceful, and as children we were well taken care of by our Welsh hosts. Many local young Penmaenmawr men and women joined the armed services. We enjoyed the beauty of this Welsh principality. The hillsides and the mountains, the streams (Fairy Glen was one of many places to visit there were many wild flowers in the countryside. Mr. Roberts our host took me to various places in the Conway Valley such places as Eglwysbach were he had relatives who owned farms and land. We went hunting. Mr. Roberts had two ferrets also two good hunting dogs. Mr. Roberts was an outdoors man. He taught me how to pluck and dress poultry, also how to skin wild rabbits and hares. I also assisted Mr. Roberts in feeding the hens and cockerels in his poultry farm. We would carry big sacks of day or two day old bread from the local bakery located in town, all the way to the hillside poultry farm. We stored the bread and each day we soaked portions in an amount in water to soften the hard bread. After sufficient soaking this softened bread was hand pressed to remove the soaked up water .This procedure left a soft mass of moist bread. We then crumbled the bread and added poultry feed to the crumbled mass. This food was then placed in the poultry feeding troughs, wherein hundreds of his birds would swoop upon us, sometimes preventing you from distributing the food. This was a great training adventure for a young boy thirteen years of age. I became a close companion of Mr. Roberts. He found other ways for me to earn extra pocket money. Mr. Roberts brother looked after an aged widow lady's allotment, in his spare time maintained the vegetable and flower garden within the allotment. The lady offered to give me one penny for each sack of leaves that I would deliver to her compost heap on the allotment. I would go up the hillsides to the tree growing areas and collect the old fallen leaves, pushing them hard into the bag to ensure that this good and kindly Welsh lady received her monies worth. It was a part time venture, limited to the autumn season, when the leaves were falling. It was a great life and I enjoyed being useful. When I had accumulated my first ten shillings I rolled the ten shilling note into a cylinder then and placed an elastic rubber band around it. I remember going to sleep that night with a thought of great accomplishment, my first ownership of paper money.
In the New Year I changed my newspaper delivery work to a newspaper and tobacconist shop owned by the Gillespie family. This store was in the centre of town and was located in a colonnade. My paper deliveries were in the area in which stood the Grand Hotel. This hotel was the largest hotel in Penmaenmawr. It was located within its own extensive grounds, and the rooms had views of the sea. This particular hotel had been leased to an insurance company whose headquarters were in London. The London staff of this company had also been evacuated to Penmaenmawr (just like our school). When I delivered the newspapers and magazines to this Grand Hotel I was impressed with the size of the hotel structure, and imagined its seemingly superior service and rich accommodations. As the delivery boy I used the trade delivery entrance of this hotel and left the papers and magazines at the gate. I often wondered if I would ever have an opportunity to enter the grounds and see the hotel proper. I decided to make a visit to this hotel when I grew up, and became successful enough to afford to stay few nights. Years later, when I was just twenty two years of age, I booked two nights at the Grand Hotel. However this unique experience was interrupted by Mr. George Roberts. After my first night at the hotel he persuaded me to be his family's guest for the second night. Mr. Roberts saved me from a lonely expensive experience.
Being brought up to attend the Church of England Christian faith, I like many of my school friends attended St. Seiriol's Church. The local people called it "the church". This church was situated along the road that led to the Penmaenmawr elementary school. The minister or vicar of this parish during 1939-40 and periods prior and after was the Reverend R. Gynfelin Jones. I attended the Sunday school and the morning and sometimes evening services. The evening services conducted by the Anglican Church were my favourite services. In Liverpool my brothers and I attended church regularly and my eldest brother and I had been members of the choir at St. Paul's Church Stone croft.
The Reverend Gonfalon-Jones entered my name in his confirmation class, and I diligently attended each session. Reverend Jones was a most dedicated minister to whom everyone gave the greatest respect. The youth who attended this confirmation class were all confirmed at St. Seiriol' s Church by The Most Reverend Archbishop of Wales. This ceremony took place on Sunday February 11th 1940.
The Archbishop came all the way from Aberystwyth, in central Wales. The boys in the confirmation class were told by the Reverend Gynfelin-Jones that the Archbishop will place his hands on their heads, and that no boy being confirmed will be allowed to wear hair cream fixatives (Brylcream or similar). The vicar said that the hair will be oily and that the Archbishop did not like oil on the palm of his hands. Every boy attended the confirmation with naturally flowing recently washed hair, including me.
The vicar also instructed all the class members that when the Archbishop gives his sermon, we must look at the Archbishop intently, to show our interest in his presentation He went on to say that if any of the class looked as though they were not listening to the sermon, the Archbishop will stop his talk, and point to the confirmation candidate, and say "are you listening boy". Nobody wanted that to happen. The Archbishop received my and others full attention.
Due to not having a formal suit, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts my hosts, were concerned that I should look my best to attend this confirmation. Mrs. Roberts asked her husband to lend me one of his suit jackets. It was too big for me, but both Mr. and Mrs. Roberts insisted that I wear it for this momentous occasion.
So on that Sunday morning I left David Street wearing a coat with its sleeves over my hands, including unmatched trousers; also with my washed fair hair blowing in the February breezes. I prayed that I would not encounter anyone who knew me. However a friendly young attractive Welsh girl had decided to walk from Penmaenan which was South of Penmaenmawr to see me in this embarrassing state. I did not know her very well, but one of her friends who resided in David Street, told me that this girl had said that she liked me! I found out later that she attended a Welsh Christian Tabernacle and sung in its choir. Unknown to me at that time I was to meet her later in my life's journey. After the confirmation service together with my young brother John, we quickly left the church, and I hurried home to David Street, to return to Mr. Roberts, his best Sunday suit coat.
The evacuees life in North Wales was a most pleasant and healthy one. We went on numerous hikes, enjoyed the wonderful scenery of the Welsh coastline. The cinema in town was opened once again and one of Mr. Robert's brothers who had recently came back from active war duty, became the cinema manager. So from the outbreak of war, life in Penmaenmawr seemed to have accepted the Liverpool evacuees. We went to the local mountain range and one could walk for miles along pathways enjoying the beauty of the area. As boys we went out sometimes all day to collect wild bilberries on the mountain slopes. We would collect them in glass containers. In many cases we would sell them to a local Penmaenmawr greengrocer named Mrs. Parsons who maintained her shop in the village. The people of this Welsh area certainly provided an idyllic atmosphere in a country engaged in war.
It was truly an ideal life for energetic boys, many of whom as they grew into manhood later fought in the British armed services. However not all was tranquil during our stay; there were fights between the local welsh boys and the evacuee boys. I had met a young Penmaenmawr boy on the first day of my arrival in the town. That first day when war was declared, I went investigating the area and inevitably ended up at the entrance tunnel to the beach. This tunnel allowed access under the railway along the coast line. There was a bowling green and a sweet shop located near this tunnel entrance. I met a group of local boys; one of these boys befriended me. He had a hare lip, a cleft palate, also clubbed hands and feet. One I got to know him, I never noticed these features. He was basically a handsome boy, he spoke welsh most fluently. During the time we were friends he was kind enough to interpret the welsh to the English language for me. He lived with his mother in the local council owned houses in the town. He took me to his home many times to meet his mother. I remember her as very warm and most friendly welsh lady. His personal friendship to me was the catalyst that made me well accepted by the local welsh boys in town. He would always let me know what people were saying when they spoke around me the welsh language. He became a true friend. His name was Harold. He told me that he had great respect for his father who unfortunately live4a4way from him and his mother.
One day a group of young evacuee boys together with my younger brother John, informed me that they were being harassed by a group of local boys. I suppose that I being thirteen years of age and a member in the senior class our school, wherein my next step would be that of a working teenage boy. This younger group of evacuee boys came to ask for my help. I went with these younger evacuee boys to the normal youth gathering areas in the town, and asked the local boys to lay off threatening these young members of our school. They immediately sent for their older friends which resulted in a boyish type fighting mood confrontation, consisting of harsh words and threats to harm to each other.
After a time with each other, the once seemingly friendships nearly disappeared. I decided with the consensus of my fellow thirteen year old evacuee classmates that a challenge must be made to the local boy leaders in Penmaenmawr for a bare knuckle fist fight between the self appointed leaders of each group. This we felt was required in order to settle the antagonism that had now occurred between us. Wow! I was that reluctant chosen leader for the evacuees. The local welsh boys I suppose picked their best fist fighter. The date and time was set, we were to meet at the local youth community hall on a set night.
Every boy in town English) Welsh, protestant and catholic knew of this event. The evacuees all told me that they would be there in force to support me in my fight. What a wait! I kept being told by my Liverpool friends that they were all behind me to a boy. On the night of this fight I left David Street with my young brother John to the Youth Hall in town. When we arrived we were disappointed to find that my young brother was to be my only supporter. There were no evacuees around. A circle of youths was formed in the main hail. The welsh boy his name was Evans and he worked part time for a milk delivery man, we both entered the circle and stated to hit each other. I remember that I felt that he was a much better fighter than I, but I was the challenger and I did my best. The fight ended by an adult who was in attendance. He told us that we had both had enough of a fight. The night ended with nearly every local boy being friendly. I was glad to see my new friend Harold who was there to silently support this English boy. I went to bed that night with pains all over me, and went to sleep hoping that the Evans boy felt some pain too.
On May 10th 1940 the world was told that our Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain had resigned. Mr. Lloyd George the popular Welshman had called for a change in the country's leadership. I remember the local adults in Penmaenmawr stating their preferences for a new leader. Many said that Lloyd George of Criccieth should lead the country once again. The country was in a state of wild confusion. However Mr. Winston Churchill was sent for by the King and requested to form a new government.
During the end of May 1940 I was to read in the papers that the Germans had routed the French army and invaded Belgium. The British were holding their line but due, to the surrender of the Belgian army and the collapse of the French, all our fighting men must be withdrawn. The British decided to leave several battalions of our men to hold off the mighty German Army to allow as many of our soldiers to escape to the British Isles via the port of Dunkirk. This great effort happened from May 27tht0 June 4th 1940. We were told that over 33 8.000 British fighting men were brought back from France by the aid of our Navy and the many private boat and yacht owners. Many of these brave men were brought and billeted in the now empty hotels in Penmaenmawr. I was informed by my mother that her sisters husband, our uncle Bill was missing in action. His wife was later informed that he had died holding back the elite German army to allow his fellow countrymen to escape in order to carry on the fight against Hitler's armed forces. William Price was a reservist and first of the British to go to France. He left a widow Jean, my Auntie and her new born son Joseph Price.
The rescued soldiers were in Penmaenmawr for rehabilitation and training. Each day as we boys tudged unwillingly to school (to quote Shakespeare) we met the soldiers marching to the beach area to do their drilling, and learn once again the newest hand to hand fighting techniques. Their uniforms were ragged and they did not possess any rifles. We were told that all their arms had been abandoned in France. On the 17th June 1940, we in Britain were told of the fall of France to the Germans. Britain was now alone in the war with Germany. Mr. Churchill then informed our nation that the Battle for Britain was about to begin. He went on to tell us that the whole fury and might of the enemy must be very soon turned against us.
On June 9th 1940 prior to the eventual fall of France, Italy declared war on Britain and also falling France. Mr. Churchill called Italy's actions "The rush for the spoils". As I read the newspapers each day, Mussolini and his army started to take advantage of the routed French in the Alpine areas which divided these two countries.
The British Government then decided to mobilize every man, women and teenage child; wherever possible, in order to assist in the defence of our Island. At first they initiated a group to be known as the "Local Defence Volunteers". Our host Mr. George Roberts was one of the first to volunteer. Mr. Roberts had volunteered for the army at the outbreak of the war. He had, years previously, injured his arm and hand in a severe industrial accident. This was caused whilst performing his work at the local quarry. His fingers were permanently twisted and he had limited use of his arm. After his medical examination he was denied entrance to the armed services. However he was a great marksman using a sporting gun, he was also most knowledgeable in the correct and safe handling of weapons. He, like all the other local volunteers, was provided with an official armband which read LDV. He told me when he first received it that it really meant "Look, Duck & Vanish" not local defence volunteer. Mr. Roberts was a man's man and never shirked his responsibilities
He and his fellow LDV' s were out in their makeshift mountain posts at nights waiting for the German Paratroopers to invade North Wales. Later these Local defence volunteers became the nation's Home Guard.
The soldiers stationed in Penmaenmawr would I now suppose were being trained not only to defend our Island, but to be sent to Egypt to hold back the threats from the Italian armies in Libya, North Africa. The schoolteachers of our school had performed in seaside shows at English holiday resorts during their previous long summer five week holidays. Mr. Caldwell my teacher was a most talented entertainer. He was an accomplished pianist and enjoyed show business.
He, with the approval of the headmaster formed a group of boys to learn songs and small skits to entertain the tired troops. He called the entertainment group "The Evacuees" We were taught such songs as "Were going to hang Out the washing on the Seigfried Line"" Sing as we Go" "Run Rabbit Run" "There will always be and England " and many more. Mr Caidwell showed us how to make outfits to wear in the show. The girl's teachers collaborated with Mr. Caldwell, to have presentations by the girl's school. We were similar to the Perriot shows popular in Britain in the thirty's and now the forty's The shows were put on for the troops, and the people of Penmaenmawr arranged the venues and refreshments for our servicemen. I still have snapshots of the performers taken by Mr. Caidwell who was a very happy man a gave the school a good boost on every occasion.
As in all elementary schools we had certain students who were chosen by their teachers to be class monitors. The task at our Penmaenmawr School was to send a group of boys (monitors) to the town centre to carry the milk for the students to the school. This was a looked forward to break in our studies. The milk was contained in individual glass bottles and all bottles were in wood crates. There was not any plastic those days. We used to take the empty crates and empty washed bottles to the pickup place in town. We would then with boys strong muscles carry the loaded crates up the hills to the school. I would say that the distance was one mile at least. On many occasions we would be carrying the milk loads when the soldiers evacuated from Dunkirk would be marching up the hill and overtake us. Every time this happened the sergeant would call "Halt" to the troops and ask certain men to step aside and carry our loaded crates as far as the soldiers group went towards our school. I shall never forget those kind British soldiers who only a few weeks before were fighting the Germans. These stalwart young men certainly helped us mere boys in hauling the daily milk for the evacuated schoolchildren.
Soon after June my now ten year old brother and I were billeted with a Mrs. Williams who also resided in a terraced type house. Mrs. Williams had a son who also lived with her, he was a full time baker's delivery boy. Her elder son was married but was away serving in the army. Mrs. William's daughter in law resided in the Old Village. During our stay with Mrs. Williams the new headmaster of my school St. Anne's Stanley Church of England school sent for me one school day. I went to his study and he told me that he thought that I had the potential for a better education. He went on to explain to me that the Liverpool Education Committee invited schools to enter its students in a citywide competitive examination for eleven year old students each school year. He explained that the recently retired headmaster of this school had not in past years encouraged boys or girls to enter for an educational scholarship. It was a great tragedy he said, because he the new head of the school felt that there were many students whom he thought would have qualified, and then said to me "I know that you would have been one of them."
This new headmaster was a Mr. Yates a robust and seemingly very happy man. He asked if I would allow him to recommend me to the Liverpool Board of Education to sit for a Citywide examination for admittance to a Junior Technical Institute. He went on to inform me that he had also asked other boys my age and said that this offer of continued education is your last chance to receive further education. I accepted his recommendation. Three boys were to take this citywide examination. Mr. Yates offered to provide some additional tutoring for this small group. We all sat for this day long examination, held by the Liverpool Education Committee representatives in Penmaenmawr. After several weeks elapsed and the three boys had entirely forgotten the teaching and the taking of this examination, we were all informed that we had passed and were offered places in one of Liverpool's three Junior Technical Institutes. I was scheduled to report to Old Swan Technical Institute in September 1940. One year after the commencement of the war with Germany.
I always thought that being a newspaper delivery boy it enabled me to read the front page news of the war each day. The examination for entrance to the technical school require that each candidate write an essay. The essay list contained about four subjects, the one I chose to write about was just titled "Finland." What did the average young boy of my young age know about this Scandinavian country. I had read that the Finnish people had built a fortified zone across what was known as the Karelian Isthmus, it was about twenty miles in depth. It was called the "Mannerheim Line" in honour of a former Finnish Commander in Chief, he was instrumental in the prevention of Finland's subjugation by Russia in 1917.
In November 1939 the Russians attacked Finland along Finland's thousand mile frontier divide with Russia.
This was an unprovoked attack on a small country. During the early weeks of the fighting it was all in Finland's favour. It seems that the Soviets had thought that fighting a small country like Finland would be a walk over. Like many people in Britain I rejoiced seeing the Finnish soldiers racing on their skis to hold the front in the deep snows and forests. At the end of the 1939 year the fighting died down and we in Britain thought that the Finns were victorious.
The Finnish army we were later informed had hoped that the winter snows would thaw early, giving them an advantage Unfortunately the winter of 1940 was one of the longest on record and the thaw came six weeks to late to assist The Russians then brought their heavy forces to defeat the Finns. Due to the Finnish armed forces being short of arms and ammunition, the Finnish nation was forced to seek an armistice with the Russians.
The British attempted to send arms to this small country but the Germans had moved in on Norway and Denmark which prevented safe passage of British ships to Helsinki.
I had followed this saga of Finland's gallant fight against this bully nation. With knowing a little of the above story during my newspaper round, I was able to write my examination essay about the bravery of the Finnish nation.
Later during the summer of 1940 Mrs. Williams our host, advised us that due to her age she had informed the evacuee authorities that she could no longer have the responsibility of looking after so many children My now ten year old brother John and I were then billeted with Mr. and Mrs. Thai-me.
Mr. Thai-me was a carpenter tradesman and was employed in the maintenance of the Penmaenmawr quarries. Mr. and Mrs. Thai-me had three children two of whom were teenage boys. Mr. Thermo was a good and kind man, full of good humour.. When I met people on the town they would say" We hear that you now reside with cacky bewk".
One evening during dinner with Mr. Tharme and his family, I tactfully asked him, "Mr Tharme why is it that people in this area call you cacky bewk"? . He replied" I was born in England, and therefore do not speak the welsh language, I fell in love with Mrs. Tharme and chose to live here in Penmaenmawr. When I am at my work in the quarries, my fellow worker's speak to each other in the welsh language, even when I am sitting having lunch with them. When this occurs I say to them "CACKY BEWK" which in welsh means "BULL MANURE" or similar. So you see William that's how an English carpenter can exist in the welsh environment. Ever since I have lived here, I am known as cacky bewk, and my welsh speaking family do not mind it a bit." "So now you know how the local people identify me" I knew how he felt, and I thought how lucky I was to have my welsh friend Harold, to fill me in on the welsh conversations, during the times that I was with him and his welsh speaking friends.
The first week of September 1940 I left Penmaenmawr on a Crossville bus for my home town of Liverpool. I had spent one whole year of my life in the beautiful country of North Wales. I had taken care of my young bothers needs; due to earning money through newspaper deliveries and the many odd jobs that I could find. This small income paid our pocket money, shoe repairs, incidentals such as gifts, postage and other sundry items to keep two boys going away from home.
John my ten year old brother stayed with the Tharme family until after the German blitz on the city of Liverpool, The bombing of Liverpool by the German Luftwaffe commenced a few days after I had returned to Liverpool. in September 1940.

How Much Does FUE Hair Transplant Cost?
Doctor Answers 38
FUE Hair Transplant Cost
Every day many people call our office with one single question: how much do you charge per graft? To a serious, dedicated hair restoration surgery practice, this is simply an impossible question to answer. This is due to the complexity of a hair restoration procedure, and the inherent variability of the intrinsic physical and physiological factors of each individual patient. While I am very aware that many practices in this field, both corporate and private, charge "by-the-graft," I feel this makes as much sense as charging "by the valve" when performing valve replacement surgery on a patient's heart, or charging "by the cc" when performing a breast enhancement procedure.
Make no mistake: charging hair restoration patients "by-the-graft" is the invention of the business man, not the physician.
For example, when considering a rhinoplasty (e.g.: nose job), a patient will most often interview one or more surgeons to find the one they feel the most comfortable with, as the public recognizes that nasal surgery is difficult and the results are often permanent. Frequently in choosing a surgeon for rhinoplasty, a patient will strongly consider the surgeon's training, experience, and how often the surgeon performs the procedure. After selecting the surgeon and meeting with him or her to discuss their wishes, and after the surgeon assesses the complexity of the proposed nasal surgery, a patient will typically receive a statement with "surgery fees" and "anesthesia/facility fees." Note that plastic surgeons who perform rhinoplasty surgery do NOT charge by the length of nose, they charge by the complexity of surgery. Most patients do not see a billboard saying "Season Special $1,000 per nostril rhinoplasty, minimum 2 nostrils, at Nose Jobs R Us." One simply cannot respond to a billboard ad and feel good about nasal surgery results.
Hair restoration is no different than any other permanent facial plastic surgical procedure, such as rhinoplasty or a facelift. Like a rhinoplasty, the procedure is difficult to perform when done well, and the results are permanent. The results are directly dependent on the skill, training, and experience of the surgeon, and the quality, experience, and talent of the technicians who will work with the hair follicles. I deeply respect hair restoration for what it is: a highly-complex surgical procedure involving not just myself, but my experienced team of full-time surgical technicians that brings unbelievable joy to men and women who suffer from hair loss. It is NOT a "plug-and-play" product that is the same anywhere you go as long as the "graft number" remains constant. This makes as much sense as saying every single automobile in the world is exactly the same provided they all have "4 tires." In hair restoration, there are hundreds of subtleties and nuances that vary from person to person. It is a procedure that brings my patients a great deal of happiness; it restores their confidence, sense of youth and well-being. It is a procedure that simply cannot be boiled down to a "per-the-graft" pricing.
The bottom line is that getting the patient involved in the details of the surgery, and negotiating the number of hairs to be surgically relocated, is really just to distract you from the more important things that some medical practices would rather you not think about, such as the experience, background, and training of the actual surgeon (or non-surgeon, or even non-physician, as is very often the case) who will be doing your hair restoration surgery. In many States, including Georgia, the physician need only sign the papers on he case; his or her presence is not even required in the room at all. There are so many hair restoration surgery clinics having non-medically trained people perform surgery that the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery issued a formal CONSUMER ALERT, which can be read in the link below.
Dr. Pramit Malhotra of Ann Arbor, Michigan warns "Rhinoplasty is a procedure not to pick on price." I strongly feel the same way about hair restoration; a permanent procedure that can be done in hundreds of different ways, by physicians and surgeons of widely varying backgrounds, from internal medicine to dermatology to anesthesiology. Remember that all types of physicians, even those without any ABMS-recognized board certificate or formal surgery training at all, may call themselves hair restoration "surgeons" in the USA.

Price of FUE
While it is a cliché to say "you get what you pay for", this couldn't be any more accurate when it comes to elective cosmetic procedures. For brows or beard transplants the transplant costs may be more, but for scalp, I'd consider the $5 or $6 to $7 quotes as the standard.
FUE cost
qualifications/expertise/reputation,safety provisions, individual attention, and results are all important considerations. In my practice, comprehensive hair restorations includes vitamin/medical management, hair productions, and intense light therapy (6 months) in the price, so you really are NOT paying per graft. Nevertheless, the price of hair restoration therapy with FUE usually runs from $5500 to well over $10,000.

Cost of FUE
Consider non surgical methods such as Rogaine for now. There are many methods of hair transplantation. Wanted them RFUE and another can be a surgical flap. Grafts can be taken with as few as one hair follicle or multiple follicles. The quality of the hair, the number of follicles per unit and the location in which the hair is to be placed are all important determinants in the final result. While it is a common misconception that hair can and should be taken from any location, taking appropriate hair from an appropriate location is key to success. For instance, one cannot always use hair from a beard to replace a frontal hairline. The orientation in which Harris placed is also important. If the frontal hairline is being created then it is important to make sure that hairs are aligned in the correct orientation. The way the hair is also laid down, for example a staggered pattern versus a straight line will also change the quality of the result. You should certainly visit with a surgeon who does many of these types of transplantations as well as offers multiple options for hair restoration. The cost can vary by geographic locale. In general they can arrange from $7000-$25,000. When you go over consultation ask for before and after photographs.
Cost of FUE
The cost can vary but we tend to charge between 6-8$ per FUE and between 3-4 for strip grafts. I think patients should focus on the talent and experience of the surgeon more than the cost as the results are dependent on the doctors experience.

FUE cost
Of course, you should do your due diligence in picking a skilled provider.

Depends on pricing structure, device, surgeon
The type of FUE device (neograft, punch, ARTAS) carries different costs as well. The ARTAS robotic procedure is slightly more expensive because the cost of the robot is factored into the cost of the procedure. The advantage of the robot is the ability to efficiently and accurately perform a FUE procedure with a published transection rate at 5%. The increased ARTAS cost, therefore, is offset by the better graft survival. - Dr. Keaney
Cost of FUE Transplant
Any type of hair transplant totally depends on the number of hair transplants being performed. Typically less grafts can be transplanted using the FUE method at any single session.
Cost of hair transplant
There isn't a set price for hair transplant, as your overall cost estimate will depend on the number of grafts required, skill / experience level of the surgeon and hospital infrastructure.
The average cost of a hair transplant in starts from ₹1,30,000 ( $2,000 approx) and further depends on how many grafts are required and the cost per graft.
Likewise the cost of an average facial hair transplant can start from ₹80,000 ( $1,250 approx ) and this also depends on number of grafts required.
Learn more: http://www.tamiralife.com/hair-transplant/#cost
Cost varies
It's hard to get a specific answer to this question, as the price per graft varies, the numbers of graft per treatment vary, and the numbers of treatments needed for each patient vary. That being said, let's see if we can help give you a concrete answer to this question.
Most places charge per graft transferred, and the general price range for experienced techs, modern technology, and a comfortable set up is in the vicinity of $5-$7/graft. There's obviously some regional variance in pricing. The average person has about 6000-10,000 grafts available to transplant by the FUE method in their lifetime, with approximately 2000 grafts (1500-2500) averaged per session. Most people will need 2 or 3 total sessions to correct their hair loss.
So a good amount to budget is approximately $10,000-$14,000 per session. It take a full year to realize the results after hair transplantation, but as you save money for the procedure, be fully aware that you'll likely require additional procedures further on down the road.

Lady Gaga Date Of Birth
November 4, 2011 by staff
Lady Gaga Date Of Birth, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), better known by her stage name, Lady Gaga, is an American singer and songwriter. Raised in New York City, Gaga, the eldest of two sisters, primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart. She briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career and starting to perform in the rock music scene of Manhattan's Lower East Side. By the end of 2007, she was signed with Streamline Records. Employed as a songwriter for the record company, she captured the attention of recording artist Akon who, recognizing her vocal abilities, signed her to his label Kon Live Distribution.
Gaga came to prominence following the release of her debut studio album The Fame (2008), which received generally favorable reviews from critics. Its first two singles, "Just Dance" and "Poker Face", were number-one singles and the album itself reached number one on nine record charts worldwide. Gaga embarked on the Fame Ball Tour in order to promote the album. Following it, she released an extended play, The Fame Monster, which spawned international number-one singles "Bad Romance", "Telephone" and "Alejandro". In order to promote the EP, Gaga embarked on the eighteen-month long Monster Ball Tour, which became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. Her album Born This Way was later released, topping the charts on several major markets and spawning international chart-topping singles "Born This Way", "Judas" and "The Edge of Glory". Aside from being a recording artist, Gaga has also involved herself with humanitarian causes and LGBT activism.
In her songwriting and performances, Gaga takes influence from glam rock artists such as David Bowie and Queen, as well as dance-pop artists like Michael Jackson and Madonna. She is among the best-selling music artists worldwide and the best-selling digital artists in the United States. She has won many awards, including Grammy Awards and MTV awards, among others, as well as two consecutive appearances on Billboard magazine's Artists of the Year (scoring the definitive title in 2010); regular placements on lists composed by Forbes; and an appearance on the Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world.

5 Common Misconceptions of Star Wars
6 comments:
Per George Lucas the galaxy they're in has more hydrogen molecules in space than our own. Ergo sound in spaceReplyDeleteReplies
Who cares. Watch 2001 and see how you feel about no sound in space.Delete
Sensible see it as part of the soundtrack. There typically isn't a 60+ piece orchestra in space either, but the movies are better with a soundtrack.
The first one is just wrong! It does indeed take place in the past but not as you describe it! It takes place in the past compared to the existence of the story teller. This means, when you watch the movie and see the credits in the beginning, you are at a hypothetical point of time hundreds of thousands of years in the future (compared to now) and you are looking BACK and watching the story of Star Wars, which took place in the past compared to the hypothetical point, but which is way in the future compared to now (2016).ReplyDeleteReplies
Maybe you should do a little more research before recording an article like this. And, don't assume that "most people watching" think this or that.ReplyDelete

This was the first time renting a house outside of the US and we couldn't have been more pleased. Everything in the villa was above and beyond what was described on the site. The bedrooms and bathrooms were amazing and we stayed in the outdoor space all day, every day for lounging, swimming and meals. We would take the golf cart and go site-seeing thru the resort, or run to the Marina for a few supplies.
The staff was absolutely incredible. I can't say enough about them. They did a fantastic job of preparing and serving amazing meals all week. We were never disappointed with what the cook surprised us with. We never even ate out once! We spoke almost no Spanish, yet had no trouble communicating with the staff, and Isabel was just a phone call away if we had a question. Francisco seemed to know exactly when we needed something and would appear out of nowhere! We have never seen anyone take such pride in his work, making sure that everything was perfect, even down to the perfect table settings. I am already missing his Margarita's and Pina Colada's. They were out of this world.
Isabel went out and got us groceries for the first couple of days since we were arriving late the first day which was a great help. Thanks so much Isabel for your great attention to detail and knowing exactly what your guests need while staying at your villa. Also, thanks for answering the numerous questions that I had before our trip. You made our stay truly wonderful!! We hope to see you again next year!!
It gets better every year. We have been staying here for many years and can't wait to come back. Isabel does a wonderful job of equipping this beautiful villa and the staff is marvelous. Meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are superb. Dinner out on the patio is the best. There is plenty of space for the group to get together and plenty of spaces for privacy as well.
Easy to recommend.
It was another wonderful week. Isabel and her staff can take care of just about anything. Meals are terrific and eating dinner on the patio is a great experience. Recently renovated bathrooms help make what was a very classy and comfortable villa even more so. Our group is already booking next year's stay and, after many years coming here, we are looking forward to many more years at this beautiful villa.
My first visit here and it was fantastic. Whether it was relaxing in the Hot Tub while sipping a beverage that Danny prepared, or playing some incredably beautiful golf courses, it was tremendous! Waking up to a fresh cup of coffee and a gourmet breakfast was the perfect start to the day. Enjoying a wonderfully prepared lunch was great. But wait, then comes a dinner you won't forget. The home was perfect for our four couples. Didn't need a car, went everywhere on a golf cart. As a travel agent, I would strongly recommend staying here.
This is the third year my wife and I have stayed at this villa with friends. We spent 2 and a half weeks here and for the third year we had a perfect vacation! We knew that this beautiful house was a fantastic place to unwind, with great views and exceptional comfort. We knew that the staff would provide incredible meals and always go above and beyond. And we knew that the house was located in the perfect place to enjoy the exceptional golf and tennis at Casa de Campo. But we were surprised to find that all of the bathrooms had been beautifully renovated and updated! And this year the owner arranged for a delicious banquet to be delivered to the villa where we had a beautiful dinner with friends. The bottom line: This place is paradise and we continue to give it the highest possible rating -- we expect to return next year for as long as possible!
This was our first (but definitely not our last!) stay at Isabel's wonderful villa. There were ten of us. I don't think I can well describe how exquisitely warm and wonderful this villa and our entire villa experience was. It started well before we arrived with Isabel's personal attention to every aspect of our trip and every detail that could enhance it. She filled the house not only with all of the food and extras that we wanted (including gluten free!) but also with tastefully sweet holiday decorations making the villa into our home away. Once arrived we met Danny and Iro, the wonderful people -- now friends -- at the villa who made the trip so extra special and attended to everything we could possibly have wanted. From morning coffee, delicious breakfasts set up beautifully outside to afternoon snacks, pitchers of margaritas and home made juices, Danny and Iro exceeded our and anybody's reasonable expectations of what a staff could provide. Danny organized an entire day trip on a hired boat for us to a private island and swimming hole, came with us to make it perfect, and kept a watchful eye on us as if we were his family. Iro's cooking, with a warm smile, was a delight, and Isabel was always a phone call away to help us with anything we wanted. From golf carts to airport transfers, restaurant choices, groceries, even help with a hotel when our flight home got cancelled, Isabel ensured that this New Years in the DR 2016 was the perfect trip in the perfect place. We will soon be back. At our home in the DR.

Massachusetts Cop Block is back
Massachusetts Cop Block was started in 2011 to raise awareness about police brutality and misconduct in my home state. I stopped working on the site over a year ago for personal reasons. Basically I was suffering from activism burnout and social media burnout. It's pretty time consuming to keep one's self informed about every police misconduct case and every civil liberties threat in the state and it can be exhausting trying to do it on top of other everyday commitments. I did all the work for the site in my free time. I was never paid anything for the work I did and, in fact, I invested some of my own money in the site and in various projects for it.
While it was probably good that I took a break, I occasionally thought about starting the site back up again. I even felt a little guilty sometimes for not being involved with activism. The feelings became a little stronger recently and I started getting more serious about resuming work on the site. Shortly after the Boston marathon bombing and the subsequent police manhunt, I finally decided it was time.
I felt genuinely creeped out as I watched the TV coverage of the manhunt and saw the thousands police officers – with their black and camouflage body armor, their military-grade weapons, their armored personnel carriers – moving through Boston and surrounding towns and cities. Some of the scenes I was watching looked more like occupied Iraq than Boston.
I was relieved when the police finally caught Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on April 19, but I still felt uneasy. The talking heads I was listening to on TV proclaimed the cops to be heroes, but I knew that even if the police arrest the occasional terrorist, the United States still has problems with police brutality, misconduct, and corruption, not to mention the fact that even many of the "legal" things police do – like locking people up for victimless "crimes" – cause society a lot more harm than good. I also expected that the marathon bombing would produce the typical demands from the government officials and the media that ordinary people must permanently give up more of their freedoms in exchange for so-called security.
With these things in mind, I felt I could no longer in good conscience refrain from participating in activism of some kind and I decided to resume work on Massachusetts Cop Block. I want this website is to be a tool for anyone who lives or works in Massachusetts and is interested in police accountability. Just to give you an idea of the direction I want to take the site in, here are the projects I am currently working on or planning:
- The other day, I started a "Know your rights" page. I plan to post all kinds of educational material on this page to help people understand and protect their rights during encounters with the police. So far, all I have is links to a few videos (which are great, by the way), but I expect to add lots more material to this page in the future.
- Another thing I want to work on is improving the site's police misconduct report database.
The old reports were all taken from David Packman's National Police Misconduct Reporting Project which has since been taken over by the Cato Institute. I'd really like to clean up these old reports quite a bit. When I'm done, all reports will be in complete sentences with no abbreviations (they were originally written for Twitter) and some will be expanded with more details or re-written entirely. Many of the sources for the old reports are now dead links, so I will replace them with links to other news stories. In some cases, I will also replace source articles with more comprehensive and/or more credible sources. Also, I will be using direct links instead of shortened links for the sources to decrease the chances of link rot.
In addition to re-working the old reports (which only covered 2009 and 2010), I'd also like to add reports for 2011 to the present.
I hope to add all new misconduct reports to the blog as I find out about them and then periodically update the database to keep it current.
- I'm also interested in tracking all police shootings that take place in Massachusetts using media reports. Before I can start, I need to figure out the criteria for what stories go into the database and what kind of info gets tracked. I also need to find the best method for collecting data (which media outlets I should search, which search terms to use, etc).If I do work on this project, I would not start collecting data until July at the earliest (so I would have data for half the year) or possibly October (so I would have data for the quarter).
- Finally, I appreciate it when people share information with me. If some have information about a police misconduct incident, a threat to civil liberties, or something along those lines, please send it to me. Also, if you're planning some sort of event like a Flex Your Rights video showing, a CopWatching meetup, or anything that you think readers of this site will be interested, you can send it to me and I'll try to help get the word out. I can be reached on Twitter or Facebook or you can email me using the "Contact" page.
Thanks for reading.

Thin Mint scarf
Errata available: domiknitrix.com http://www.domiknitrix.com/knittingpatterns/domiknitrix_book_errata.pdf
Page 103
Dec rnd 1: Knit to 2 sts before end of first needle, k2 tog, turn work, SSK, knit to end—46 sts
I know in the book I suggested size 6 needles, but that sample is clearly knit too tightly. If I had it to do over with the same yarns, I would use larger needles and a looser gauge.
Yardage above is for combined yarns, varies based on desired length, but do choose equal amounts each type.
The sample you see here is made from Classic Elite Provence and the stripe width is a little different.

I know where the comma is on my TI 84. The problem is, to calculate what I need to get, I have to use L1, L2. However, the calculator is not letting me display the comma in between L1 and L2. The comma will display anywhere else but in the Vars sections. What is wrong?

the best way to get all your applications back is to link your friend's ti-84 plus and make a file backup, ( do this by first installing Ti graphing Product CD wich is included with the calculator) after this just connect your calculator and store the files back onto your calculator! ZOMG??? IS it that easy???
yes it is, just apply some clear thinking and ull be just as smart as i am
Posted on Sep 09, 2008
I think can not restore the applications that have been deleted, however just connect your TI-84 to computer and re-install all the applications needed;)
OR go to education.ti.com
Posted on May 09, 2008
Go onto www.education.ti.com, find the downloads column, and click on apps and operating systems. Then you can click on the different lists and find out which apps you accidentally deleted. You do this by (after clicking on it) looking under the "Pre-Loaded On" column. If you find the name of your calculator there, this is one application that was deleted. Hope this helps!

Project DescriptionAn expanding architectural firm's need for a new office presented an opportunity to rethink how physical space can support ideation, allow clients to be the true focus of the design process, and facilitate the re-imaging of an architectural practice's relationship to emerging architects, students and the public.
The new space satisfies these goals with the intervention of a minimalist design within one of Denver's most historic buildings; dissolution of the traditional boundary between the front of house / public zone and the back of house studio / operations; the integration of a linear connective space, physically linking public and private functions; and the integration of a central gallery flexible zone that merges public and private space.
Overall, this malleable, experimental space is designed to evolve and respond to the ongoing shifts brought on by new generations and changing public perceptions / expectations of the profession itself.
Embedded in the center of the studio, the 'Temenos Gallery' - centered around a 50-foot worktable - intentionally slices through the full length of this lofty cathedral-like space, dominating the long, narrow floor plan while catalyzing interaction and inclusion. The ancient Greek word 'Temenos' - which originally referred to a "sacred space within which magical things are free to occur" - not only informs the intention of the gallery, but also serves as a benchmark for the Studio's overall design and the firm's rigorous approach to creating pure and simple experiential spaces. It also invites the public to engage and learn as designers ideate around them. Since the opening of the office the Temenos Gallery has already begun to catalyze greater mutual discovery and interaction between worlds through the hosting of two exhibitions and a modern house competition.

Now that we know the supercommittee failed, one question is whether it ever had a chance. This post by Nolan McCarty suggests not.
McCarty tested every member of the supercommittee against a standard measure of congressional polarization. The Republicans on the supercommittee, he found, were significantly farther to the right, and the Democrats farther to the left, than the median member of their parties. He even ran an experiment where a computer randomly drew 12 members of Congress, six from each party, 1,000 times. Only 90 of the draws led to panels that were more polarized than the actual supercommittee. The supercommittee was built to fail, or at least to vehemently disagree.

Alizon - expert, experienced, skillful, knowledgeable...
The History of Spell Casting
Through the ages and within every culture older wise women have passed down their knowledge and skills of healing herbs, medicinal plants, phases of the moon and sun, the alignment of the stars and other natural phenomenon to younger generations.
The crafting of ingredients, coupled with prayers, rhymes or chants (Spells) were sent out to the Universe to increase abundance, to bring love, to aid fertility and for protection.
I possess the knowledge, skill, expertise and experience to successfully cast Spells that work with the Universe to help you with your desires.
I am an experienced Spell caster of 40 years and have a wide knowledge of herbs, oils, crystals and other ingredients, their qualities, their energies and how to use them successfully.
I have a deep understanding of the power of colour, moon phases, solar phases, astrological matters and other natural phenomenon. I am also very skilled in the use of altar tools and am attuned to the elements of air, earth, fire and water.
Here you'll find Alizon reviews of Spells cast sent by clients who have had a Money Spell, Love Spell, Return Lover Spell, Attraction Spell or other Spell cast by me.
This is just a recent selection of the Alizon Reviews satisfied and grateful clients have sent me. These testimonials are just a small assortment from the many clients I have helped. I can help you too.
To protect anonymity and respect their confidentiality I have just used initials or first names.
A great example of the power of my Magic was when Isabella from California, USA wanted a resolution to her compensation claim, and 2 weeks after having a Money Spell cast, the money came through nearly three times what she was expecting. For the first time in years she was debt free and could afford to move to her dream house.
Take for example Bonnie living in Texas, USA who asked for help with her complicated love life. Her long distant boyfriend, Josh was being pulled back by his ex and was reluctant to make the move from his New Mexico home to live with Bonnie.
Just a matter of days after having me cast a Complex Love Spell, Josh turned up at Bonnie's door wanting to commit fully to their relationship.
Gemma from Brisbane, Australia who was over 20lbs over weight and was having related health problems.
After Weight Loss Spell casting for her she reported that she had regained her slim figure with ease.
For example, Jodie from New Mexico, USA was torn between two lovers. Jodie simply could not decide between the two men who were attracted to her as they both had differing great qualities.
After I had cast a Custom Love Spell for her Jodie had no problems in choosing the man who was later to become her husband. She said she'd had a startling realization about the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
Take for example, Artis from Minnesota USA who asked me for help to reunite with her soul mate. After having me cast a Reunite Spell, Artis emailed me to let me know just how successful the Spell was as they were back together and their relationship was stronger and deeper than ever.
Take for example Tim from Arizona, USA who was desperate to increase his stamina and sexual prowess, without resorting to medication. He wanted attractive women to find him desirable and sexy.
Soon after casting his Sexual Attraction Spell, Tim informed me of his great success with women.
Linda from Massachusetts, USA had a series of very bad luck befall her. She had real problems with money and men, along with poor health and the loss of her job. Nothing was going right for her and she felt she needed protection from negative energies.
Soon after casting a Protection Spell for her she reported feeling better straight away. She no longer has feelings of being unlucky and felt the Spell helped her improve all aspects of her life.
A good example of how fast a Soul Mate Spell can work is a client of mine from Georgia USA. Aubrey had been let down by a string of men, but after having a Soul Mate Spell cast, within a week, she met up with an old school friend who'd come back to the neighbourhood. This opened the floodgates of old feelings and they are planning a wedding next year - her true soul mate discovered!
Ella from California USA had her eye on a work colleague and asked for my help. After having me cast an Attraction Spell for her, she told me that he asked her out, out of the blue and she is totally in love!
Serenity from Holland wanted her boyfriend to commit and stop paying attention to other girls. Shortly after having a Commitment Spell cast by me, her boyfriend proposed on Valentines' Day.
For example Mario from Nottingham, UK wanted to increase his psychic sense of Clairvoyance and also be able to read Aura colours.
Shortly after casting a Psychic Ability Spell for him, Mario messaged me to say he felt a huge difference immediately and had seen, for the first time, Aura colours around himself and his animals.
Chloe from Sunderland, UK who had fallen head over heels in love with a co-worker. He'd shown her kindness, affection and tenderness. It was much later that he admitted he was already in a relationship, albeit a toxic one.
After asking for my help by having me cast a powerful Love Triangle Spell for her difficult situation, her lover found the courage to leave his toxic relationship and begin a romantic and faithful one with Chloe.
James from London, UK told me that the Success Spell I cast for him had a brilliant outcome. He wanted my help to boost his new business after a shaky start. He's now emailed to say he's had to hire someone to help him out with a huge increase in his orders.
For example Tara from British Columbia, Canada wanted help from me as she hadn't been able to land a profitable job in over 9 months despite extensive experience. After casting a Prosperity Spell a delighted Tara told me that the Spell had worked and she had started in a new highly paid job.
Take for example Stephanie and Andrew from Glasgow, UK who had been trying for over 3 years for a much wanted baby. Just a few weeks after I had cast a Fertility Spell for them, they let me know the good news that Stephanie was pregnant at last.
Later that year Andrew emailed me to announce the birth of their son.
Sherry from New Jersey, USA wanted to break free from her abusive husband. She also needed an income to provide for her 2 sons, plus somewhere to live.
After casting her Custom Spell she messaged me to say how her life had turned around for the better in a such a short time. She had started divorce proceedings and had found a well paid job, so she was able to find an apartment for herself and her sons.
Lee from South Dakota, USA had his confidence dented after a relationship break up and losing his job due to ill health. After I had cast Lee a Confidence Spell he told me he felt better immediately and had regained his self belief, which enabled him to take the big step to start his own business working from home.
Carlos from Dan Diego, USA smoked 2 packs of cigarettes everyday for over 20 years. After having me cast a Quit Smoking Spell for him, he stopped immediately and has never smoked since.
Julia from Christchurch, New Zealand wanted a fresh start in both her love life and her career. She wanted to manifest her full potential.
After casting her a New Moon Spell Julia told me that a new opportunity had opened up for her in her career with a promotion and pay raise. She had also met a new man who would treated her wonderfully.
