The most consistently seen part of the TARDIS, this room is used by the Doctor to single-handedly steer a time and space machine designed to be driven by no fewer than six simultaneous pilots.
Visited by Clara in "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS," the library was often mentioned, but this was the first time it had been seen.
Shown off in the episode "The Invasion of Time," the art gallery cleverly doubled as a hidden ancillary power station. A switch on the Venus de Milo shut off the illusion and allowed access to the emergency power.
A fine collection of both culturally specific clothing for any time or planet (that no one ever seems to take advantage of) and former outfits of the Doctor.
During "The Doctor's Wife," the corridors of the TARDIS are shown to be dark and foreboding, though originally had a brighter feel…
…and as of "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS," their look has changed once again.
The Doctor appears to have snagged the telescope from the British aristocracy lycanthropy episode "Tooth and Claw" for his observatory.
The room is used to house the Cloister Bell, an alarm meant to be sounded only in times of extreme danger. It was considered a Cloister emergency only if the actual TARDIS was itself greatly threatened.
Housed inside the Cloister Room, the Eye is a power source for the Time Lords. According to the 11th Doctor, it was achieved by "[ripping] the star from its orbit, [and] suspend[ing] it in a permanent state of decay."
First seen during the episode "The Invasion of Time," the swimming pool had not been seen in decades before reappearing in "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS." It had been mentioned, however, and even figured into the saving of River Song's life once.
Though difficult to imagine what it looked like prior to exploding, it was nonetheless featured in "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS."
Similar to the Art Gallery illusion earlier, this protects the TARDIS from prying eyes. The only way to access the engine room is by jumping into a seemingly bottomless ravine.
Completely cut off from the rest of the universe, literally, the Zero Room is a rapid healing chamber, used when Doctors need an assist with a particularly difficult regeneration.
Despite all attempts to the contrary, the Doctor is a sentimental man. In what amounts to basically a huge walk-in closet, he stores the keepsakes of former companions.
Prior to the decimating Time War, the Doctor and his companions were occasionally shown at their ease in a variety of bedrooms.
Also known as the Tree of Life, this room serves as a way for the Doctor to create anything he needs. Making it partly the Room of Requirement from Harry Potter, and partly a "do over" button.
An approximation of the actual size and layout of the TARDIS.
This design leaves ample room for other rooms mentioned over the course of the Doctor's tenure, including:
• Holding Ring - Preserved rooms
• Bathrooms - Minimum fourteen
• Laboratory
• Box Room - Storage
• Laundromat
• Zoo
• Cricket Club
• Salon/Boot Cupboard
• Kitchen
• Gardens
• Garage
• Croquet Court
• Sick Bay
• Drawing Room
• Sun Room
• Scullery Room
• Squash Court - Minimum seven
• Gymnasium

I am a writer. On my current site, I have 90+ photos (book covers) posted on a page. I was able to do this by posting them in a table. Of course, the table isn't responsive, I guess because the book cover photos are a particular size (150x225px). I have bought and installed alora theme. The features list mentioned "unlimited sidebars." I was thinking I could fill five or six sidebars with image widgets and then place the sidebars on pages with a shortcode or something, but that isn't possible. Can someone tell me how I can still post the images of my stories and books but in a way so the photos will shrink and/or move below each other like other responsive elements do? There must be a way. The current site (with the books, not running alora) is http://harveystanbrough.com/short-fiction.
Thanks in advance.
The topic 'Posting multiple images to a page' is closed to new replies.

More Mangled Language and Pompous Usages to Avoid
Posted on Tuesday, August 14, 2018, at 11:00 pm
This column is mostly concerned about the written word, but even so, pronunciation will inevitably enter the picture from time to time.
The expressions chomping at the bit and stomping ground are both corruptions of the original champing and stamping. People find this incredible. But, for instance, consult the 1961 cult-favorite western film One-Eyed Jacks, and you'll hear Marlon Brando clearly say, "I know all his old stampin' grounds." My 1968 Random House dictionary and my 1980 American Heritage dictionary (the one with its own usage panel) don't even list stomping ground, only stamping. Nor do they list chomping at the bit, only champing.
My 1999 Webster's lists both, but Webster's is more permissive by design; it's what's called a descriptive dictionary, as opposed to prescriptive ones like American Heritage, which presume, unlike Webster's, to act as guardians of proper English.
Here are some more words and phrases that make word nerds wince:
Kudos To this great man, kudos are overdue. That's not a sentence that would raise many eyebrows, but kudos is not the plural of kudo. There's no such thing as a kudo. Kudos is a Greek word (pronounced KYOO-doss or KOO-doss) meaning praise or glory, and you'd no more say kudos are due than you'd say glory are due. You must change are to is: kudos is overdue. Of course, if you ever said that, everybody'd think you're strange—everybody but that word nerd skulking in the corner.
Snuck A lot of people these days think this is the legitimate past tense of sneak. A lot of people are wrong. The past tense of sneak is sneaked. Even my Webster's has a problem with snuck, calling it "informal."
Flaunt, flout He was a rebel who flaunted the rules. Make that flouted. To flaunt is to display ostentatiously; to flout is to ignore, disregard. Don't flaunt your ignorance by flouting the correct usage of flout.
Close proximity Also commonly used by a lot of smart folks who should know better. There is a creek in close proximity to the cabin. This is ill-advised for a number of reasons. First, proximity already means "closeness," so the phrase is redundant: "close closeness." And this is just an affected way of disdaining nice clear words like near, nearby, et al. What's wrong with "There's a creek near the cabin"? Word nerds believe that the fewer words and syllables it takes to get your point across, the better a writer you'll be.
More importantly, most importantly When grammatical cluelessness combines with a desire to sound glib, we get maddening phrases like these two. I've been a pedantic prig, er, copy editor, a long time and I've never seen a valid use of more or most importantly. Just drop the -ly and make my day. More important, you'll be using good English. Most important, you won't sound like some pseudo-scholarly fusspot.
This grammar tip is by our late copy editor and word nerd Tom Stern.

Another chunk of busy days have come and gone and today I've got another Project "Finish This Stuff" update. I have decided that rather than feel super guilty about not getting a post up each and every day I'll just post as often as I can, no self-pressure. I'm still working on 2015 empties, so this time I'll be discussing my September finishes, which weren't many.
First up is skincare.
Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes - purchased from Walgreens. Since I love to use witch hazel on my skin so much, I decided to try out these towelettes for all the traveling I did last year. I really enjoyed these - they are nicely sized at 5 X 7 inches and very soft. The saturation level was just right, as well. When traveling, I'd use these both at night and in the morning. When I used them in the morning, after wiping my face, I'd keep the wipe close to clean excess product off my hands and clean gel liner off my brush when done applying. Have already repurchased (I think I recently saw these at Walmart in addition to Walgreens - I'm not sure about the other drugstores).
Dickinson's Witch Hazel 100% Natural Astringent - purchased from Walmart. I've gone through countless bottles of this witch hazel. In addition to using as a residual makeup remover and facial toner and to refresh my skin in the morning, I also use it on sunburns and bug bites to help soothe the areas. Will always repurchase (I just finished the replacement bottle to this one and have repurchased again recently).
Acure 100% Certified Organic Argan Oil - purchased from Raisin Rack (also available at Target). I've gone through several of these Argan Oil bottles as well. My skin loves it, especially in the winter time. I've also used this to soothe sunburns and try to heal/treat scars. Have repurchased - I'd call this a Holy Grail (HG) product.
Dial Yogurt Vanilla Honey Nourishing Body Wash - purchased from Walmart. This was a decent body wash; it lathered nicely and my skin felt moisturized after getting out of the shower. I might repurchase at some point, but I'm still working through a backstock of body wash from when I attempted to "coupon."
Now let's see what makeup items I finished.repurchase over and over...
Lancome Artliner in Noir - purchased in a kit from Dillards. Honestly, this is the best liquid liner that I've tried, especially for the felt tip style. Every other felt-tip liquid liner I've really not liked - there are a couple of drugstore ones I still want to try, especially if either is waterproof (Jesse's Girl and one from Physician's Formula). Once opened, this lasted forever!! I'm pretty sure I started using it in either December 2014 or early January 2015 and it didn't start to dry out until September. I think it's a good value for the price based on the longevity (of course, if I used liquid liner exclusively this wouldn't have lasted as long) and I try to only get it in a kit. I did repurchase this last Black Friday - in another kit - but I haven't cracked it open yet. I'm using up other liquid liners first.
CoverGirl Clump Crusher by LashBlast Water Resistant Mascara - purchased from Walmart. I really enjoyed this water resistant mascara. I ended up using this when traveling and on damp/rainy days. Since it didn't give me difficulties in removal, I used this a lot more than I thought I would. I repurchased before our September cruise trip last year, tossing the old tube and taking the new one with me so I was sure to have enough product for the entire time. No smudging issues in the steamy weather or any other conditions I had it on in. This is one of the few mascaras I've repurchased and immediately opened the new tube so I might consider this another HG product(!).
Peter Thomas Roth CC Cream deluxe sample - kit from Sephora. I thought I liked this, but then towards the end of the tube, I realized it was too much on the orange side for my neutral-cool skin tone. I did enjoy the way that it felt, as well as the SPF 30 strength and that it had a bunch of Vitamin C. But since it's too dark, I won't repurchase.
Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer - travel size purchased from Sephora. I got sucked into the hype of this primer. I realize that so many people consider this one of the best, but I was honest with myself and realized I did not like the way that it sank into my pores and my foundation would follow suit. It felt all right, kind of silicone-y when blending it out. But I decided that I just didn't care for it by the time I got through the bottle. I'm glad I had only purchased the small bottle. Won't repurchase.
Physicians Formula Super CC+ Color-Correction + Care CC+ Powder, SPF 30 shade light/medium- purchased from Rite Aid. I really enjoy this powder. I can use this lightly to set foundation, but this actually has enough coverage for my needs to be able to be used as a powder foundation that hides my discoloration from past acne marks. My favorite way to use it, especially in summer, is to apply a regular liquid SPF product then buff this all over to set the liquid. I really like that it has a higher SPF. I believe that I've gone through at least one other before this and I'm pretty sure I've since gone through another. I still have a couple of backups, but I will repurchase once those are depleted. I think I'd call this yet another HG product(!).
I don't have any Trashed But Not Yet Finished products for the month, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't home much to do any cleaning out of the stash. I didn't finish a ton of products, but I am getting more familiar with my choices in what products I keep reaching for/repurchasing and I'm beginning to amass a list of Holy Grail products.
What products do you consider to be Holy Grail items?

Your Ford Country Squire water pump may already be malfunctioning-you should check to solve the issue immediately and keep your car engine from heating up. The water pump runs through a belt and relies on centrifugal force to stream coolant around the block to help keep the automotive engine at acceptable temperature range. When there's insufficient air entering the grille, your automobile will most likely overheat and the cabin may not be suitably aired out.
You know your Ford Country Squire water pump is about to fail if you hear that unmistakable squeaking sound that says it needs service. Coolant may drip out of the water pump's weep hole when the gasket is definitely damaged. Once the pump's gasket, pulley, or the whole unit conks out, you'd better stay away from driving your vehicle before this is replaced (unless you want to allow the engine to overheat). To prevent the automotive engine from overheating, it's advisable that you restore the busted seal of your water pump or upgrade the pump itself for your own benefit. You should get a heavy-duty replacement unit that's uniquely tailored for your vehicle's cooling system for custom fit and excellent performance.
Our site is your great source of premium-grade car parts and accessories available at marked-down prices, giving you amazing promos. Our parts catalog has a fine range of Ford Country Squire water pump from premium manufacturers such as Ishino, Saleri, and Victor Reinz.

Selective Amnesia and Racial Transcendence in News Coverage of President Obama's Inauguration
Hoerl, Kristen
Quarterly Journal of Speech, v98 n2 p178-202 2012
The mainstream press frequently characterized the election of President Barack Obama, the first African American US President, as the realization of Martin Luther King's dream, thus crafting a postracial narrative of national transcendence. I argue that this routine characterization of Obama's election functions as a site for the production of selective amnesia, a form of remembrance that routinely negates and silences those who would contest hegemonic narratives of national progress and unity.

What happened to the child F4 actors from Boys over Flowers?
The Boys Over Flowers child stars have taken different paths following the show's finale in 2009. Three boys continued their blossoming entertainment careers, while the others possibly returned to normal childhood existence.
Following fan favorite articles The cast of Boys Over Flowers: Where are they now? and the Guest Star edition, let's take a look at what the youngest members of the F4 cast have done in six short years.
1. Young Goo Jun Pyo (actor Kang Han Byul)
The adorable child star who played a bad boy in training has played in several K-dramas since the hit series BOF ended six years ago. Kang, who is now 12 years old, has appeared in the following shows: Life Is Good, Happiness In The Wind, Bride Of The Sun, King 2 Hearts, Horse Doctor, Hur Jun: The Original Story, and the Thunderstruck Stationery series.
2. Young Yoon Ji Hoo ( actor Na Da Reum)
Nam scored fifteen dramas and two movies after BOF wrapped in 2009. The 12 year old's most recent role was portraying young Dal Po in Pinocchio. You may have seen him in A Man Called God,Dong Yi, Live In Style and The Suspicious Housekeeper here on DramaFever.
3. Young Yi Jung and 4. Young Song Woo Bin
Unfortunately, the last two F4 boys aren't recounted as continuing their acting careers after the series. They were extras despite the fact that they played younger versions of the main cast. Yi Jung and Woo Bin's youngest characters aren't listed with the cast at all. Their careers after 2009 are unknown.
5. Junior high-aged Goo Jun Pyo (actor Jung Chan Woo)
The now 17-year-old star is an actor and singer! In November 2014, Jung was chosen to be part of the upcoming YG Entertainment boy goup iKon. The new idol band is expected to make their debut sometime this year. Since 2009, he has appeared as the younger character of main stars in the following K-dramas: Story of a Man, No Limits, Heirs (where he played a younger Lee Min Ho once again), and Wild Chives and Soybean Soup . He took on the same kind of role in the 2012 movie Gabi.

Workers Tuesday afternoon were in the process of repairing a ruptured, inactive BP pipeline that leaked a few gallons of crude oil Monday night. The leak expelled a strong odor that alarmed a northwest Indiana community.
During the excavation to gain access to the pipelines, workers found a small hole in one of two lines, one of which has been out of service for five years, and the other for 10 years, officials said. The lines run parallel to each other, officials said. The lines are near Somerset Drive and St. James Place in the Somerset subdivision in Munster.

How to Shop for Blown Glass in Mexico
Colorful blown glass ranks high on the souvenir list of veteran tourists to Mexico. You can shop for classic pieces in the more exclusive city shops or have your own designs custom-made in factories in Puerto Vallarta and outside Guadalajara.
Buy one more piece than you need, just in case of breakage.
Get a detailed receipt when you leave a deposit to begin a custom order, and check in periodically to ensure that your order is running on schedule. Production is often backed up, so leave yourself enough time to have the details worked out through an interpreter, and to have your order completed prior to departure.
Upscale boutiques usually have fixed prices and accept credit cards as well as hard currency. Bargain when having items custom-made, and be prepared to pay in cash pesos or possibly U.S. dollars.
Even thick blown glass is extremely fragile. Pack in tissue and bubble wrap when possible. Put as many pieces as you can into your carry-on luggage and check others in a hard or sturdy suitcase; duffel bags may spell disaster.
1. Buy off the shelves in Mexico City. The Bazar Sabado (Saturday Bazaar) at the Plaza San Jacinto is home to boutiques that sell high-quality glasses, dishes and figurines made by Mexican artisans. Prices are often higher than when purchased directly from local merchants.
2. Visit Tonala and Tlaquepaque outside of Guadalajara for a large variety of blown glass items. Check with the tourist center or city office for information on the area's glass factories. It's possible to have your own designs made, but as these factories cater to large industry, it may take some savvy negotiating to get your small order put through.
3. Visit the intersection of Insurgentes and Basilio Badillo in Puerto Vallarta, where you'll find a tiny but reputable factory that has catered to local industry and countless tourists for a number of years. You may buy off the shelves or have your own creations made during your stay. Many people just come to watch the artists spin hot globs into works of art.
4. Bring an interpreter, if necessary, on your first visit to a factory to ensure that details like design, price and pickup date are clear. Provide neat, detailed drawings instead of relying on flimsy descriptions that sort of describe what you want made. Mexico uses the metric system, so all dimensions for custom designs should be given in millimeters and centimeters.
5. Understand that prices may vary depending on the glass's color or the item's shape. Red glass is typically more expensive than blue or green glass. Fancy or intricate goblet stems, vase rims or pitcher handles may run your bill higher than a more basic design or one that's familiar to the artists.
6. Leave room in your bags to hand carry your purchases home. The small fee incurred for the extra weight of a large glass purchase is cheaper than the astronomical cost of having a package shipped out of Mexico.

Industry decline will be partially mitigated by the need to replace older and nearly obsolete NVDs.
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 09, 2014
Over the past five years, conditions got less bright for the Night Vision Equipment Manufacturing industry. Industry players manufacture a wide range of night vision devices such as night vision scopes, goggles, binoculars, cameras and related components. The industry was minimally affected by the economic downturn, with revenue reaching a record high in 2009. The resilience of the industry is attributed to its primary source of demand, the US military and law enforcement agencies. According to IBISWorld analyst Maksim Soshkin, "these organizations use night vision devices (NVDs) to conduct nighttime combat, surveillance, search and rescue, criminal tracking and border protection missions." Therefore, the United States' involvement in the Iraq and Afghan wars, as well as anti-terror operations, caused demand for industry products to surge.
However, the recession eventually strained local and state government budgets, with governments having to cut down spending on law enforcement, including industry products, in order to balance their rising deficits. Moreover, greater federal budget deficit concerns and the withdrawal of troops from the Middle East (Iraq in 2011 and Afghanistan later this year) caused federal funding for defense to contract over the past five years. Consequently, "demand for industry products plunged from previously abnormal levels," says Soshkin. Therefore, in the five years to 2014, industry revenue is expected to decline at an annualized rate.
The Night Vision Equipment Manufacturing industry has a medium level of market share concentration, with the four largest companies accounting for a large proportion of revenue in 2014. The industry is projected to continue declining over the next five years, as defense and homeland security budgets are cut along with a decrease in US conflict involvement. However, the decline will be partially mitigated by the need to replace older and nearly obsolete NVDs as technologies advance and demand from commercial operators and local and state governments increases. As a result, the decline in industry revenue is forecast to slow, dropping at an annualized rate in the five years to 2019.

CPT Codes
CPT Codes available for use with the Equilibrate System
The ability to document the progress of care over the course of therapy enables the caregiver to demonstrate improvement to the patient as well as to insurance companies and Medicare. Delivering evidence-based care with documented progress is the new paradigm in the health care industry. Balance Engineering supports this paradigm by providing key tools that help caregivers not only to provide high quality care to their patients but also to meet the requirements for efficient insurance reimbursement. Insurance companies and Medicare are reimbursing hospitals, clinics and other care facilities for evaluation, assessment and therapeutic services today. The Equilibrate System was designed to leverage those existing CPT codes so caregivers can seek reimbursement for utilizing the technology and turn the tool into a revenue-generating device.
CPT Codes to utilize with the Equilibrate System
- 97001: Initial Evaluation
- 97002: Re-Evaluation
- 97110: Therapeutic exercise
- 97112: Neuromuscular re-education
- 97116: Gait training
- 97530: Therapeutic activities
- 97535: Self care home management training including ADL
- 97750: Physical performance testing with report
Insurance reimbursement for balance assessment and rehabilitation is dependent on local/state regulations and guidelines. Check your local regulations and with your insurance providers for more information.

I (heart) Ubuntu
I've mentioned before that I use Ubuntu as my primary operating system on my laptop and desktop. They recently released version 9.04 and, after taking a deep breath, I took the plunge and upgraded both of my systems.
This is the first upgrade I've had where more things went right, and work better, than went wrong or outright broke (and I've been using Ubuntu since 5.10). Now, to be clear, my appreciation of Ubuntu has obviously kept me with it, but I have to give shoutout for this release. The system boots much faster, visual effects are smoother and work better (windows fading in and out, moving between virtual desktops, doing a Expose-like window display, and so on), everything just feels like it's tighter and more polished.
And, wonders of wonders, my desktop's aging graphics card (an old ATI) not only didn't break with the upgrade, it works better now! Still no working Steam, which is sad, but Deus Ex is (at long last!) working under Wine! Deus Ex is one of those supposedly-great games from when I was in middle or high school that I never had the patience to finish, but am now hoping to. (Along with others such as System Shock 2, Fallout, No One Lives Forever, and so on.) Because upgrading the full system upgraded a bunch of components, including Wine, there's no way of telling exactly what made things work, but I'm happy something did! (It's a lot like alchemy in that regard…)
If you've been thinking about giving Ubuntu a try, 9.04 is definitely the smoothest experience I've had with the system thus far. So go for it!

Mamata-GJM meet deferred to June 16June 12th, 2012 - 6:25 pm ICT by IANS
Kolkata, June 12 (IANS) The meeting between West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha was Tuesday deferred to June 16 after she received an urgent message from Congress president Sonia Gandhi to meet her for talks in New Delhi on the presidential polls.
"The meeting will now be held June 16 at 2 p.m.," GJM general secretary Roshan Giri told IANS over phone.
Amid reports of the GJM planning to revive violent agitation in protest against a high-powered panel's report on additional areas to be included in the proposed Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) in northern West Bengal, a meeting was earlier slated to be held between the outfit and Banerjee June 14.
The GJM is upset over the panel saying only five mouzas - two in Jalpaiguri district and three in Darjeeling district - fulfilled the criteria for being part of the GTA, a new hill council that would run the administration in the North Bengal hills.
The GJM has called a 72-hour shutdown from July 2. Before that, all municipality chairpersons and councillors of Darjeeling, Kurseong, Kalimpong and Mirik are to put in their papers June 27. The GJM has threatened to burn the GTA agreement if the government does not reject the panel's report.

1993 -
Below is the text of Mr Major's Commons statement, made on 18th November 1993, on the Loyal Address.
The Prime Minister (Mr. John Major) : The House will wish me to congratulate my hon. Friends who so ably moved and seconded Her Majesty's Loyal Address.
As my hon. Friend the Member for Wealden (Sir G. Johnson Smith) reminded the House, we have both contested parts of St. Pancras in our time. My hon. Friend did so rather earlier and with rather more success than I. He won Holborn and St. Pancras, South and held the seat between 1959 and 1964, whereas I regret that I lost St. Pancras, North to the noble Lord Stallard in 1974. However, it is as the hon. Member for East Grinstead, and now as the hon. Member for Wealden, that my hon. Friend has become best known in the House.
During his lengthy public service the House has benefited from his expert knowledge in many areas of policy, and perhaps above all in defence, in which he was a Minister during the 1970s. He was also the Chairman of the Conservative Back Bench defence committee for many years. He is an acknowledged expert and is recognised as such by every hon. Member. During that time, my hon. Friend has built a reputation as being someone who speaks when he has something to say, and as someone who deserves to be listened to. That is an enviable reputation for any hon. Member to obtain.
I looked back at the maiden speech by my hon. Friend. At that stage, he was much exercised by a traffic scheme which turned much of St. Pancras into what was then called a "pink zone". Alas, that area has turned into a political red zone, and my hon. Friend has moved onwards.
The Leader of the Opposition, like me, has passed the age of 50 and recalls my hon. Friend's other distinguished career as a television interviewer. As the right hon. and learned Gentleman said, my hon. Friend interviewed the famous, the notorious, and the not so famous on "Tonight". When my hon. Friend did so, he was watched by four times as many people as will watch "Newsnight" tonight. That may speak volumes for the discrimination of those who watched television at that time, rather than those who will engage in late-
My hon. Friend the Member for Bolton, North-
This will be a memorable week for my hon. Friend. Today he seconded the Humble Address. Tomorrow, following the marriage of his daughter, Sophie, in the Crypt Chapel, he will address an audience on an occasion that will be more memorable even than today's. I am sure that the House will join me in wishing him and his daughter and her husband a happy day.
Neither convention nor conviction compels me to be as complimentary about the speech by the right hon. and learned Member for Monklands, East-
Madam Speaker : Order. Hon. Gentlemen must contain themselves or I shall have to take action against them. I do not wish to do that so early in the Session.
The Prime Minister : To the extent that anything is written here, it is a compliment on my powers of anticipation. I shall return to some of the observations of the right hon. and learned Gentleman in a few moments. I first wish to speak of other matters of concern to every hon. Member.
Despite the legislative programme, Northern Ireland must remain at the head of our priorities in the foreseeable future. Our outrage in this House and elsewhere at repeated carnage must not be blunted simply because we have lived with the problem for so long. The stark fact is that terrorism has claimed the lives of more than 3,000 people in Northern Ireland since 1969 -
We are not looking for peace at any price. A peace that involved conceding to terrorism or negotiating under its shadow would not be acceptable to the Government or, I believe, to the people of Northern Ireland. Nonetheless, there may now be a chance that we should try to take. I do not wish to raise false hopes. History and deeply entrenched positions can all too easily bring a sense of despair, as we have seen so often in the past. However, there may be an opportunity for progress, and we must explore that opportunity. If we do not succeed on this occasion, we must go back and keep exploring again and again that opportunity for peace.
Our chances improve if we have the support of both sides of the community, of all the constitutional parties and of the Irish Government. But no party and no organisation can exercise a veto on progress. That has been the basis of my consultations, and those of my right hon. and hon. Friends, over recent months-
Mr. Paddy Ashdown (Yeovil) : Will the Prime Minister give way?
The Prime Minister : In one moment, if the right hon. Gentleman will forgive me.
I said earlier this week that Sinn Fein could enter the political arena if the IRA's violence ended for good and was so demonstrated over a sufficient interval. If they send such a message, we are ready to listen to them. Indeed, it would be irresponsible not to. But, by itself, a statement of intent by them is not enough. The violence must stop and it must be seen to stop.
The position of the Government should not be misunderstood. The democratic process is there for all who show that they can abide by its rules. But there will be no rewards for terrorism. Nor will we compromise on the vital principle that there can be no change in Northern Ireland's status without the freely expressed consent of its people. It is for the people of Northern Ireland freely and democratically to determine their own constitutional future. I warmly welcome what the Irish Prime Minister and deputy Prime Minister have said to support the principle of consent, and the talks process, and to accept the need for changes in the Irish constitution. That is the framework within which we and the Irish Government will work for peace, stability and reconciliation. We are ready to respond to a cessation of violence. I said so with the Taoiseach in Brussels on 29 October. I said so at the Guildhall and I say so again to the House. It is now for Sinn Fein and the IRA, and equally for the loyalist paramilitary organisations, to draw the right conclusions.
Mr. Ashdown : The House will have heard the important statement that the Prime Minister has made on the subject of Northern Ireland. To the extent that the Prime Minister has-
The point that he made earlier about being prepared for the British Government to put down their proposals if agreement cannot be reached between the constitutional parties is an extremely important one. I put it to him that it is probably equally important that he does not leave it too long before doing that, and that there is a moment arriving-
The Prime Minister : We are still seeking to talk and reach that position through dialogue bilaterally with the constitutional parties. That clearly is the first prize, but we have prepared for the proposition that that may not be possible. I very much hope that it will.
Mr. Norman Lamont (Kingston upon Thames) : The House will have listened extremely carefully to what my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has said. Will he give the House a clearer indication as to what he thinks the negotiations would be about? Is not it the case that Sinn Fein is not interested in pure power sharing with Ulster? Is not it the case that the only conditions on which the IRA would give up violence, and with the agreement of Sinn Fein, would be if there were further moves towards the unification of Ireland? Is not that the point?
The Prime Minister : I think that my right hon. Friend will have heard me a moment ago, for I said it quite deliberately so that nobody could misunderstand it. The House heard me repeat the constitutional guarantee that was set out before. I have repeated it publicly on a number of occasions so that nobody seeking to make judgments on these matters can be in any doubt about the seriousness with which the Government take that constitutional guarantee. It is a cast-
Mr. David Winnick (Walsall, North) : Does the Prime Minister accept that, while it is desirable for the constitutional parties to be involved, if at the end of the day agreement cannot be reached with the constitutional parties in Northern Ireland, an agreement of a wide-
The Prime Minister : I chose my words with great care and with some consideration a few moments ago. The hon. Gentleman will not be surprised that I do not wish to add to them. The consent of the people of Northern Ireland, to whatever is determined, is clearly going to be the central and most important requirement of any successful settlement.
While Northern Ireland touches us all, the economy affects us all. The whole House will have welcomed the increasingly good news in the past few days-
Mr. John Prescott (Kingston upon Hull, East) : I missed it.
The Prime Minister : The hon. Member for Kingston upon Hull, East (Mr. Prescott) says that he missed it. Where has he been? There were better than expected trade figures last week ; better than expected inflation figures yesterday-
I can pinpoint with great accuracy the moment when the figures started to turn downwards. It was exactly the moment when the hon. Member for Dunfermline, East (Mr. Brown) predicted :
"I make one Budget forecast-
The hon. Member for Dunfermline, East is, alas, clearly engaged on more important matters than the debate on the Queen's Speech. However, he does not have much luck with predictions. He is always wrong. For him, the laws of probability and statistics are suspended. If I could persuade the hon. Member for Dunfermline, East to tell me which horse was bound to lose the grand national, I promise him that I would put my shirt on that horse with a great deal of confidence.
As other countries remain in recession, we are emerging from it. We now have the opportunity of a long period of sustained growth with low inflation. There has been a great deal of pain, effort and difficulty in getting inflation down, but we can now see the rewards. Inflation has been under 2 per cent. for the past nine months, a situation not seen for more than 30 years. As a result of that, recovery-
Mr. George Foulkes (Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley) : Will the Prime Minister give way?
The Prime Minister : I will give way in a little while. Those business leaders know that we have the lowest inflation rate in the G7; the second lowest inflation rate in the Community; among the lowest interest rates in the Community; the predicted highest growth rate in the Community this year and next; and that we are one of only two Community countries in which unemployment is falling. Business also knows that, contrary to the position that was honestly stated again by the right hon. and learned Gentleman, we are determined to keep social on-
One other thing that the right hon. and learned Gentleman signed up to, which he neglected to mention in his speech today, when he had a great deal to say about VAT on fuel, is the European socialist manifesto which says :
"We stand for a tax system which penalises work less and environmental pollution more Forms of taxation which can improve the ecological and energy situation have a role to play." I could only assume that that was another part of the socialist manifesto that the right hon. and learned Gentleman did not read, did not understand, or had his earphones on and did not hear. The economic news that I outlined a few moments ago is the background against which we bring forward our legislative programme. At the heart of the Gracious Speech are measures to tackle crime, improve teaching in our schools and make our economy more competitive. I believe that those are the right policies because they provide the foundations for a successful, tolerant and responsible society. We can raise standards in our schools, make our streets safer and make our economy more competitive by building on those basic values.
I am not surprised that the right hon. and learned Gentleman cannot understand the point about going back to basics. How can we expect him to understand basic values when Opposition Members repeatedly vote against increasing sentences for violent crime, when they oppose tests in schools, when, in the same breath, they call for lower taxes and higher spending, and when they still do not trust people to make their own decisions in health, in education, in pensions, in housing and in many other aspects of life? "Basic values" means basic economic values such as low inflation, free markets and a climate that encourages free enterprise, basic social values such as self-
I am afraid that the Labour party is all too often out of touch with the values and instincts of the British nation. Labour Members voted against every piece of legislation to introduce tougher penalties for crime, voted against the measures that allow people to appeal against over-
Mr. Bruce Grocott (The Wrekin) : Since it is the Prime Minister's vogue word, I ask the Prime Minister the basic question : if back to basics is suddenly the right policy, who is to blame for the past 14 years?
The Prime Minister : The hon. Gentleman clearly has not been listening, but I will tell him about the past 14 years. It is a time when average incomes have risen, when there is more spent on the national health service than ever before, when the number of young people going into further and higher education has gone up to one in three in the community, and when the value of pensions has gone up. But there is one battle which I concede we did not win. That was the battle against fashionable opinion and the theories of those who are light years away from the interests of the British people. I turn directly to the centrepiece of the difference between the Government and the Labour party. The centrepiece of this programme is a criminal justice Bill. The whole House shares a deep concern about the level of crime. To prove that, I hope that the whole House will unite behind our proposals to tackle crime instead of, as Labour Members have done on every occasion in the past, voting against every measure that we have brought forward to tackle crime.
Our proposals respond to people's fear. Crime is not just a problem for the well-
Mr. D. N. Campbell-
The Prime Minister : If the hon. Member for Kingston upon Hull, East (Mr. Prescott) is so concerned about crime, why did he vote against every measure that we brought forward to curtail it? It is no wonder that he is against back to basics. He is certainly pretty basic himself. He makes Neanderthal man look chic.
Mr. Campbell-
The Prime Minister : I shall make a little progress. I share the view of most people in this country that the balance has been tilted for too long in favour of the criminal and away from the victim. The criminal justice Bill will correct that. We shall continue to give the police greater flexibility in the use of their resources to fight crime.
Mr. Campbell-
The Prime Minister : I shall give way in a moment. We will provide extra prison places so that sentences can reflect the gravity of the crime, not the availability of prison cells. We will crack down on people reoffending while on bail. Some people seem to think that bail is a licence to commit crime. The new Bill will show them that they are wholly wrong about that.
One of the most serious problems we face is that of juvenile crime. Far too many crimes against property are committed by young people. The Bill will introduce new secure units for persistent offenders to break the cycle of offending. The fact is that, unless we are prepared to make clear to people at a young age that some behaviour will not be tolerated, we cannot be surprised if they continue to reoffend as they get older. To be too lenient in the short term means that we fail our children in the longer term, and it is time that that was faced up to. The Bill will also deter criminals by making sure that, once caught, they are prosecuted and, if convicted, effectively punished. There will be less cautioning and an end to the abuse of the right to silence that has been exploited by so many.
Mr. Campbell-
The Prime Minister : I shall give way to the hon. Gentleman in a moment.
In some areas, the current law has been too slow to act. If squatters, travellers or trespassers occupy people's property, they should be able to get them out-
The Bill covers a range of other matters. I will mention just one of them today. It will provide stronger powers and heavier penalties against child pornography. Previously, possessors of child pornography could only be fined. For the first time, the Bill will provide, in appropriate circumstances, for a prison sentence, and the police will have stronger powers of arrest and search and seizure of those who make and sell this material. I hope that the whole House will welcome that.
Mr. Campbell-
The Prime Minister : The hon. Gentleman's question was not quite complete. He should have asked why the incidence of crime has doubled in every western country. If the hon. Gentleman wishes to help us, perhaps he and the right hon. and learned Member for Monklands, East will tell us that they will support the proposals that we now put before the House.
Mr. Robert Maclennan (Caithness and Sutherland) : The right hon. Gentleman knows that in the Home Office's recently published figures it was revealed that 5.7 million crimes were committed in the latest recorded year. Is that because he has been neglecting the basics for the past 14 years-
The Prime Minister : I am not sure that it was entirely wise to give way to the hon. Gentleman, for he trails over very old ground. Will he now tell us whether he will support the measures that are before the House? I suspect that the Labour party will not support them. The shadow Home Secretary, the hon. Member for Sedgefield (Mr. Blair), was already preparing his escape route when he referred to my right hon. Friend's new measures to tackle crime as "gimmicks". Tougher powers for the police to stop terrorism are apparently a gimmick, as are cutting down paperwork and putting more policemen on the streets. Tougher measures to stop people offending on bail are, according to the Opposition, a gimmick. New prisons are a gimmick. That is the triviality of their response to the battle against crime.
As for the hon. Member for Kingston upon Hull, East, who is sitting their shouting, he is no one to shout about the law. It was the hon. Member who said :
"do you obey the law or not obey the law? We"
"don't have any firm principles of how we might deal with this problem."
The hon. Gentleman said that in late 1989 and early 1990. I will give him the quote. If he is worried about that quote, perhaps he can tell me this : why, just last month, did Labour Members vote against a provision in the National Lottery etc. Bill to prevent lottery proceeds funding terrorism ? What sort of party and what sort of values do they have ?
Let me turn to the deregulation Bill that the right hon. and learned Member for Monklands, East spoke about. One significant difficulty for business lies in meeting the demands of regulations. Over the years we have repealed examples of ludicrous over-
"going to repeal"
"all of it-
That means back to the closed shop, back to flying pickets, back to unions above the law and back to no more compulsory ballots. That is what the hon. Gentleman stands for.
Mr. Prescott : The Prime Minister is earning an unenviable reputation as a Prime Minister who constantly quotes from Labour Members' recent speeches without giving any evidence of where those quotes come from. It is about time the Prime Minister produced the sources of his quotes. I challenge him to do so.
The Prime Minister : I will provide the hon. Gentleman with the sources. He probably thinks that he has been a victim of impersonation. I will give him another quote, together with the source, and perhaps that will help him.
The right hon. and learned Member for Monklands, East, in his celebrated speech to the Confederation of British Industry, in which he said so little about the matters on which it would have wished to hear, did not remind the CBI that he had described ballots for union elections as
"intellectually disreputable". Perhaps that explains why the hon. Member for Peckham (Ms Harman) remains a member of the shadow Cabinet, despite losing in the ballot. [Interruption.] The hon. Member for Kingston upon Hull, East is having some trouble containing himself. We have learnt what one member, one vote means : the right hon. and learned Gentleman is the member and his is the vote, despite what Labour Back-
In the Gracious Speech we propose to introduce legislation to improve the training of teachers. Our best schools are as good as any in the world, but we aim to raise the standards of all our schools to those of the best. The process is already under way with the national curriculum, annual reports, regular inspections and regular pencil and paper tests, not beloved by some Labour Members. [Interruption.] The hon. Member for Kingston upon Hull, East should take a sedative and calm down.
The education Bill this Session will underpin the reform of teacher training. For too long teacher training has been based too heavily on theory. The Bill will create a new teacher training agency in England and will extend the powers of the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales. It will build on the arrangements for teacher training in the classroom, which we have already put in place. The agency will bring together funding for all types of courses and will be able to fund the most cost-
The Bill will end one of the last closed shops in the United Kingdom-
Mr. Alex Salmond (Banff and Buchan) : Is it the Prime Minister's intention to dismember Scottish local government and to remove Scottish water from local democratic control by the expedient of stuffing Commons' Committees with English Conservative Back Benchers? Can he confirm that?
The Prime Minister : I would not put the matter remotely like that, so I cannot confirm it.
Alongside the reforms in Wales and Scotland are the reforms still being developed in England. We intend these to be the last significant reforms of local government for many years. We are putting in place a structure to endure and to pass the test of time.
Mr. Dennis Canavan (Falkirk, West) rose -
The Prime Minister : The hon. Gentleman's intervention is too tempting to miss.
Mr. Canavan : How can the Prime Minister possibly justify local government reorganisation in England being referred to an independent commission while proceeding immediately with legislation for Scotland and Wales without any reference to an independent commission? In view of the widespread concern, indeed outrage, throughout Scotland about this most expensive and extensive political carve-
Otherwise, people in Scotland will rightly conclude that their country is being governed by a gang of gerrymandering crooks.
The Prime Minister : I do not think that they will remotely conclude that. The hon. Gentleman may believe it, but that is his problem and not mine. He is rather more of a problem to the right hon. and learned Gentleman the Leader of the Opposition than to me or my colleagues.
Mr. John McAllion (Dundee, East) : Earlier in his speech the Prime Minister said several times that it is for the people of Northern Ireland to decide, freely and democratically, their own constitution. Why does the Prime Minister deny that right to the people of Scotland? Why does he resist the demands of the constitutional parties in Scotland for a multi-
The Prime Minister : There was a referendum, and it failed. The hon. Gentleman has clearly forgotten that the necessary majority was not achieved.
The Queen's Speech will introduce a range of Bills-
This is a realistic programme that will meet the concerns of the country. It addresses practical problems in a practical way, and is light years away from the policies of the Opposition. Many people have complained about the Opposition's lack of an economic policy, not least a number of Opposition Members. As the hon. Member for Dagenham (Mr. Gould) said :
"Where we"-
the Labour party-
"are absolutely deficient is in suggesting that, in any respect, we have a clue about how to manage the economy. Or whether we should even try."
Now he has his answer. His leader has signed up for an off-
The Labour party is not a party that is seriously seeking power. The Guardian said recently that the Labour party is like "a natural party of opposition"
I know that my right hon. and hon. Friends will give a warm welcome to the programme outlined in the Gracious Speech, and I commend it to the House.

Homecoming as a National Founding Myth: Jewish Identity and German Landscapes in Konrad Wolf's I was Nineteen
History Department, University of Minnesota, 1110 Heller Hall, 271 19th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA

AbstractKonrad Wolf was one of the most enigmatic intellectuals of East Germany. The son of the Jewish Communist playwright Friedrich Wolf and the brother of Markus Wolf—the head of the GDR's Foreign Intelligence Agency—Konrad Wolf was exiled in Moscow during the Nazi era and returned to Germany as a Red Army soldier by the end of World War Two. This article examines Wolf's 1968 autobiographical film I was Nineteen (Ich war Neunzehn), which narrates the final days of World War II—and the initial formation of postwar reality—from the point of view of an exiled German volunteer in the Soviet Army. In analyzing Wolf's portrayals of the German landscape, I argue that he used the audio-visual clichés of Heimat-symbolism in order to undermine the sense of a homogenous and apolitical community commonly associated with this concept. Thrown out of their original contexts, his displaced Heimat images negotiate a sense of a heterogeneous community, which assumes multi-layered identities and highlights the shared ideology rather than the shared origins of the members of the national community. Reading Wolf from this perspective places him within a tradition of innovative Jewish intellectuals who turned Jewish sensibilities into a major part of modern German mainstream culture.

- Description
If you're the one in your group that's always getting followed on the trail, the Rockhopper Expert 29 is here to make sure that it stays that way. We built it to be light, durable, and exceedingly capable, but how we did it is far more interesting. It all starts with an alloy construction that'll resist corrosion and take a beating, while the components are purposefully selected to squeeze every last drop of performance for the money. But what we're most proud of is the Rockhopper's Trail 29 Geometry. It features a low bottom bracket, roomy top tube, and short chainstays to keep you ripping and confident both up and down the trail.
- The frame is constructed from lightweight A1 SL aluminum in order to provide a compliant, durable platform to support our acclaimed Trail 29 Geometry. Combined, you get a bike that's more than efficient on climbs and eager to get down to business on descents.
- A Manitou M30 29 fork offers 80/100mm (size-specific) of plush, trail taming travel and stiff 30mm stanchions.
- It's hard to beat the blend of durability, reliability, and performance that the Shimano SLX rear derailleur provides. It's designed to take a hit, and more importantly, its shifting is crisp, precise, and always on the money.

After 200th career win, Notre Dame head coach Kelly signs new five-year contract
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly has been rewarded for getting the Fighting Irish to the national championship game in January with a new five-year deal.
Kelly said the contract signifies to him that he and the university officials are "all in it together."
"So when we come to an agreement, it's not necessarily that within it that I get a lunch stipend on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's about that we're all together in this contract about moving the program forward. We decided by signing this contract, we're all in this together. That's what I was looking for," he said.
The university has made a number of changes in the program since he became coach, including instituting a training table to make sure players are getting proper nutrition and changing some longstanding pregame routine, such as moving the pregame Mass from Saturday to Friday. He also talked Thursday about how he will be involved in the conversation when players are facing potential disciplinary action, something former past coaches have complained about.
When asked Thursday about wanting a voice in such situations, Kelly answered: "I don't know that I want a voice. I just want to be part of the conversation. I think the communication is what I'm interested in more than anything else," he said.
Kelly said he was "100 percent" behind the university's student code policies, saying he knows he's not going to change those, but said he wants to be able to tell parents that he will be an advocate for their sons.
"This about how you run a program year in and year out," he said.
The contract announcement came on a day when Notre Dame beat Temple 28-6, giving Kelly 200 career wins.
"It ensures that Brian will continue to provide leadership that has fundamentally changed this program, restored it, given it the foundation it needs for continue success in the future," athletic director Jack Swarbrick said. "We could not be more pleased."
Kelly had said four weeks ago that a new deal was "imminent." Swarbrick had announced in January after Kelly led the Irish to a 12-0 record and the national championship game against Alabama that the school was working on a contract extension. Kelly interviewed for the Philadelphia Eagles job the day after the BCS game in January.

What a fantastic little slice of heaven you have! Thanks so much for opening your home to vacationers. Everything was amazing! I would recommend providing a diary for tenants to write travel tips, food recommendations, etc. Thanks again for helping our family make some memories!
Very clean, well "stocked" with any supplies needed!.... the only thing missing was a better view of the water.............. the Rule Book was very detailed so we had no questions on what to do with or to be sure to do... :)
Truly a Very Nice home, so very well taken care of and provides all needs for renters!!!!
For the past 3 years we have spent a week in June fishing on Crane Lake. The past two years have been spent at the Bayside Retreat. Our group numbers from 4 to 7 each year depending on who's available and we bring our own boats. The home is located perfectly for our group, 5 minutes from the bait shop on the main road for all our fishing needs and 5 minutes to Voyagaire or Nelson's resort when we get tired of eating our own cooking. The home is well maintained, clean & up to date appliances, plus Wi-Fi & satellite TV and a great dock with power to recharge our boat batteries. Could not ask for anything better. We are looking forward to our fishing trip in 2017. Thanks Jo Ann, we had a great time again this year.
We absolutely love Crane Lake. We go every year at least twice a year. This time we needed a large home with several rooms for a wedding in September 2015.
The home sits on a beautiful lot right on the lake. Also, the town of Crane Lake is only a few minutes drive away. You can't have it any better! Wilderness and a touch of civilization!
The house is modern and has all the amenities we needed. Highly recommend anyone to rent Bayside Retreat!!
