The Play Rugby USA Girls Academy team travelled up to Utica last weekend to compete in the NY State Championships in their first ever season playing 15's! We are very proud of them and their massive accomplishment to win the State Championship.
The trip began at Randall's Island at 7pm on Friday night, as half of the squad were competing in the PSAL 7's Championship. After the tourney, a squad of 20 U19 players traveled four hours to their hotel to compete in a semi-final versus Hamburg the next day.
In the morning (after arriving at the hotel at 2AM), the team had a mental skills session and kicked off in the afternoon. Hamburg kicked off to start the match and the girls immediately showcased some great presentation and rucking skills, allowing for clean quick ball to the backs. Within a minute, the backs found space on the wing and Lekia scored on a 60 meter finish from the Fullback position.
The girls continued playing well and moving the ball into space. The forwards controlled the set piece and the backs put up the points, with the result being a 35-0 halftime score.
During the second half, the game was held up by an injury (to our knowledge the girl is ok). This stoppage let out some of the girls' momentum, and they let up two tries in quick succession when play resumed. This was a major test for them, as it represented the most points they had allowed to date. After a quick huddle from the team they then SWITCHED ON and continued to GO FORWARD and finished the game of with a convincing victory 56-10.
Sunday morning, the players woke up tired (many of them had played on Friday as well) but ready to face defending champions Kingston. They went through a team talk and walkthrough before heading to the field for a 12pm kickoff. Foreshadowing a trend for the game, the team's normal #8 had to switch to Flyhalf due to an injury on Saturday.
The Kingston team played physical rugby and scored within 2 minutes of the match opening. After that, the game seesawed back and forth and really came down to which team wanted it more. Over the course of the match, more injuries occurred and players had to continually step in to unfamiliar positions.
The final blow seemed to be struck in the 76th minute when an Academy player was sent to the Sin Bin with the score tied 29-29. The team rebounded beautifully however and almost scored the game winner at the whistle if not for a try-saving tackle for Kingston. The girls made their coaches very proud in the extra time as they controlled play despite being down a player, scoring 3 tries in the 10 minute period.
In the end, the Academy girls won 48-29. They showed great sportsmanship in consoling Kingston players and showed great respect to the opposition for what was a very hard fought match. This was great for us to see as it shows how far this group of girls have come and how far they still can go.
Congratulations to the players, coaches, and supporters on a tremendous season! Also a huge thank you to AIG for their contributions and support of the Academy program!

What's new at The Hair Company Brentwood
So much has been going on for us here at the Hair Company. In 2015 we attended many brilliant events hosted by The Fellowship along with our annual not to be missed pilgrimage to Salon International at Excel to feast on what's new and happening in the hair industry. This has kept us motivated, inspired and passionate about our careers. Team member Shannon Louise Cox also decided to begin her hairdressing apprenticeship with us and started working here in April.
She is a great addition to the team and is already confidently cutting and colouring hair on our model training nights. She shares a bit about herself below. Back in August our ever so popular stylist Rachael House gave birth to her beautiful daughter, Maggie-May and Rachael has already returned to work on a part-time basis because she's missing it so much (and so are her clients!). We still use and sell Aveda hair and body products because they are passionate on manufacturing in an ethical and sustainable way. They make their products using 100% wind power!
The newest products we are selling of theirs are the 'Shampure - dry shampoo,' a 99.8% natural powder mist which instantly refreshes and rejuvenates hair. The other Aveda product now have in stock is the 'Thickening tonic,' which makes each individual hair length fuller and thicker. All of our stylists use Aveda on their own and client's hair. If you'd like to be shown any techniques or try before you buy, feel free to ask. The third and final item we introduced in our shop area in 2015 were the beautifully designed Kent hairbrushes which come in stylish travel boxes. They have gone down a storm with our clients and visiting customers. Well that's all for now but please read on and let Shannon introduce herself to you all.

The .223 Wylde hybrid chamber was designed by Bill Wylde of Greenup, IL to exploit the
accuracy advantages of the .223 Remington commercial chambering without pressure problems
or compromising the functional reliability when using the high velocity 5.56x45mm NATO military
ammunition. It is used by many rifle manufacturers who sell "National Match" configuration AR-15
rifles, barrels, and upper receivers. The .223 Wylde achieves better accuracy by having a chamber
throat that is tighter than 5.56x45mm but will still function reliably with military 5.56 ammunition
as the case dimensions are the same. In short, it will give you the accuracy of a real SAAMI when
using the good ammo, but also allow you to use cheap surplus ball ammo safely. Please Google .223
Wylde if you are unfamiliar with this chamber. It is truly the best of both .223 and 5.56 chambers.

Isaac Murphy of Lexington rode race horses, very well, for almost 20 years at the end of the 19th century. He was the first jockey inducted into the Hall of Fame at the National Museum of Racing, in 1955. In 2011, the Kentucky Center for African American Heritage created an award in his honor.
It's way late but very fitting that Lexington is finally recognizing this man with the Isaac Murphy Memorial Art Garden.
"Isaac Murphy is to Lexington what Muhammad Ali is to Louisville. The difference is that Louisville celebrates the accomplishments of Muhammad Ali but Lexington doesn't do the same for Murphy," Thomas Tolliver said Monday. "Until today."
Tolliver, an East End community activist and vice president of the art garden's board, was speaking at the ground-breaking for the garden that will soon take shape on a half-acre at the corner of Third Street and Midland Avenue.
It's only a stone's throw from the site of the Kentucky Association Race Track, where Murphy rode, trained and owned race horses. The half-acre includes the site of the house he owned and occupied, with his wife Lucy, from 1887 until his death from pneumonia in 1899. Excavations revealed the limestone foundations of Murphy's house and they have been incorporated into the park's plans.
Even more impressive is that the park is designed as an outdoor classroom with story boards that will tell not only Murphy's story — the son of a former slave, he became the winningest jockey ever in America, claiming three Kentucky Derbies among his triumphs — but also those of other successful black jockeys, and the neighborhood's long history in Lexington's equine industry. It will have an amphitheater where the planners envision groups gathering for talks on the neighborhood and its history.
The park will be the trail head for the Legacy Trail, a walking and biking path linking Lexington's urban core with the Kentucky Horse Park, where Murphy is buried.
Monday was an important day, the culmination of seven years of effort by a public-private partnership that includes the city, the Blue Grass Community Foundation, and dedicated volunteers like Tolliver and board president David Cozart.
They all deserve credit for their hard work to connect Lexington with a neglected part of its past, to link urban neighborhoods with our rural area, and to, at long last, give Isaac Murphy his due.

Notebook: East Stroudsburg No. 1
Oct. 13, 2010
WINNING WARRIORS: East Stroudsburg University has claimed the No. 1 spot in the latest NFHCA Division II Coaches Poll for the first time in program history after the Warriors remained unbeaten with an 8-2 victory over Mercyhurst last weekend.
The Warriors jumped previously top-ranked Shippensburg in the poll by a one-point margin, although the Raiders also boast a flawless season mark of 10-0.
Senior forward Jessica Frantz continued her stellar offensive play, netting three goals against the Lakers as she increased her Division II-leading goal total to 23. Frantz, who also tops the nation with 4.45 points per game, needs just six tallies to tie the schools season mark of 29 goals. ESU ranks third in the nation with a 4.45 scoring average.
The Warriors head to No. 10 Millersville on Oct. 16 as they look to stretch their program-record winning streak to 12 games.
RIVER HAWK REWARDED: Senior midfielder Jaime Hadley garnered Northeast-10 Conference Defensive Player of the Week after combining for six points in a pair of UMass Lowell shutouts in league play last week.
The native of Chelmsford, Mass., contributed an assist in a 5-0 victory over Merrimack, and followed it up with a goal and three assists in a convincing 9-0 defeat of Assumption.
Hadley played a key role on a squad that outshot foes, 59-6, in two games. Hadley leads the nation with 1.0 assists per game.
The No. 3 River Hawks are 11-0 and pace Division II in nine of 11 statistical categories, including scoring average (5.45) and goals against average (0.18). Freshman goalkeeper Melanie Hopkins has racked up eight shutouts this season, and tops the nation with a 0.19 goals against average.
UMass Lowell is back in action at Bentley on Oct. 14 as the River Hawks look to stay perfect on the season.
CATCH YOU LATER: The Shippensburg-Mansfield contest was postponed for the second time in the last two weeks due to inclement weather and unplayable field conditions.
The two Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Division squads were originally scheduled to meet on Oct. 2, but were postponed because of heavy rains. On Oct. 11, the two teams played for 19 seconds until a thunderstorm and lightening delays stopped action. At the end of the delays, the field was in poor condition, and the meeting was postponed for the second time. No make-up date has been announced.
BLOOMING SCORER: Bloomsburg University sophomore Lauren McGinley claimed Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Eastern Division Player of the Week honors after providing the offensive spark in two league wins for the Huskies.
The native of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., netted a pair of goals in a 4-0 victory over No. 5 Kutztown and followed it up with a game-tying tally in a 2-1 win versus Slippery Rock last weekend. She ranks second on the team in scoring with five goals and 10 points in only four starts this season.
The No. 4 Huskies are 7-2 on the year with their only losses coming to No. 1 East Stroudsburg and No. 2 Shippensburg. Bloomsburg has won four straight Division II national championships.

Coast Guard Commandant meets with Congressional Shipbuilding Caucus
The Congressional Shipbuilding Caucus, co-chaired by Representatives Gene Taylor (D-Miss.) and Rob Wittman (R-Va.), yesterday hosted a meeting with the Commandant of the Coast Guard, Adm. Robert J. Papp, to discuss the Coast Guard's ship force structure needs, its missions, future threats, and the U.S. shipbuilding industry.
Members of the Caucus in attendance were Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Conn.), Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.), Rep. Frank LoBiondo (R-N..J), and Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va..
Admiral Papp conveyed the difficulty the Coast Guard has in keeping its major programs funded sufficiently. The Admiral discussed specific programs such as the National Security Cutter (NSC), the Fast Response Cutter (FRC), and the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC). The Admiral acknowledged that the fleet has grown far too old, citing the High Endurance Cutter (HEC), which has an average age of 41 years despite a life expectancy of 20 years. He called the Offshore Patrol Cutter his "pet project", and saidt he intends to make sure this class of cutters is well on its way in production during his tenure as Commandant.
While fewer OPCs will be built than the class they will replace, the Commandant said that they will be much more capable.
He emphasized that the Coast Guard needs to keep working to increase its acquisition budget.
The Admiral explained that the Coast Guard's acquisition budget includes all of its cutters as well as aircraft. The NSC consumes half the entire acquisition budget of $1.4 billion, making it extremely difficult to include all the items the Coast Guard needs to meet its various missions. Moreover, the Office of Management and Budget mandates that the Coast Guard buy each vessel in whole in one fiscal year. One option Adm. Papp proposed was to work for more flexibility in its acquisitions by spreading funding for vessels over multi years as is the Navy's practice. He added that Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano has opened discussion with OMB regarding this approach.
Underscoring the fiscal constraints on the Coast Guard is its polar icebreaker fleet. The Commandant categorized this asa program that clearly needs attention. Although the USCGC Healy is operating in the Arctic, there is currently no heavy duty icebreaker capability available to the Coast Guard, and the Admiral added that the Antarctic region cannot be overlooked.
There is currently no projection for new icebreakers in the budget, and while Congress added $57 million to overhaul the Polar Star, a decision has to be made regarding the future of this fleet.

Hocking Hills the Fall
I have always loved the other-worldly feel of the Hocking Hills area. The rock outcroppings, caves, mature forests and hilly landscape all make for some exciting and sometimes challenging hiking. Not to mention the feeling that you are walking through a natural "place of power". It just feels to me like the Earth's energy is very close to the surface in the region. You can close your eyes and almost feel the vital energy that holds us all together pulsing through the rocks and trees and streams. Check out this Plain Dealer article to learn more about the hunting, fishing, and natural relaxation options:

text: Medicare is wasting more than $8 billion on an experimental program that rewards providers of mediocre health care and is unlikely to produce useful results, federal investigators say in a new report. The report, to be issued Monday by the Government Accountability Office, a nonpartisan investigative arm of Congress, urges the Obama administration to cancel the program, which pays bonuses to health insurance companies caring for millions of Medicare beneficiaries. Administration officials, however, defended the project and said they would not cancel it because it could improve the quality of care for older Americans.

For Edmunds.com and its President, Avi Steinlauf, the Apple iPad is transforming the workplace.
Avi Steinlauf doesn't sleep with his iPad, but otherwise the Apple (AAPL) tablet is almost always by his side. Like a growing number of senior executives, Steinlauf, president of car-guide publisher Edmunds.com, views his iPad as a crucial business tool — and not just for sending e-mail, reading documents, or looking up information online. (He does all those things too.) Tricked out with a combination of customized applications and off-the-shelf software, Steinlauf's iPad is actually changing the way he manages his company.
Using an app that Edmunds.com developed with tools from software company MicroStrategy, Steinlauf can sort and analyze huge volumes of data about auto sales. The company always had those numbers in its databases, but thanks to the app, Steinlauf can instantly pull up the information he needs at any time — before a meeting with his sales staff, say, or while calling on a client. And he can keep tabs on the traffic on Edmunds.com using SiteCatalyst, an application developed by Adobe's Omniture unit.
Pre-tablet, Steinlauf says, he would have had to run back to his desk when he needed to check site metrics and user statistics. Now he can keep tabs on the website's performance even in the car — "if I'm not the one driving!" Steinlauf is quick to add.
Steinlauf says that as a result of having more data at his fingertips he can ask more specific questions of his staff, and make quicker decisions. Having an all-knowing boss may make life tougher for Edmunds.com executives, but there's at least one reward: Senior managers also are able to keep tabs on their performance — on their own company-issued iPads.

The meeting was organized by Dr. Maria Elena Medina-Mora Icaza, Mexican National Institute of Psychiatry, "Dr. Ramón de la Fuente Múñiz," to advance the binational research project, Development and Implementation of a Training Model in Positive Parenting Practices in Mexican Families With Children Who Present Behavior Problems. The project aims to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of family-based drug abuse prevention programs in Mexico and with Latino families living in the United States. In preparation for a randomized controlled trial of the model's effectiveness, Dr. Melanie Domenech-Rodriguez, Utah State University, and Dr. Ana Baumann, Washington University, certified 12 Mexican professionals as therapists in the PMTO model to ensure the fidelity of the PMTO implementation. The collaborative research team also includes Dr. Jorge Villatoro Velázquez and Dr. Nancy Amador Buenabad of the National Institute of Psychiatry.

Scentsy began with a simple idea—a safe, wickless alternative to scented candles—and quickly grew into one of the most successful direct selling companies. This wickless concept was born when two stay-at-home moms began selling decorative warmers designed to melt scented wax with the heat of a light bulb instead of a traditional wick and flame.

Looking for a rewarding career that works with your schedule? As a Scentsy Consultant, you'll set your own hours & have fun while you earn.
I have had the wonderful pleasure of reviewing Scentsy's Scentsy Buddy Scratch the cat! Each Scentsy Buddy comes with it's very own Scent Pak for free! Here is the giant baby with the cute little box Scratch comes in, sometimes referred to as "kitty" from here on out.
The Scentsy Buddy is a GREAT addition to any child's stuffed animal collection! I recommend it to anyone I know! The price is right at a comparable $25 for the regular Buddy's. The Buddy comes with 1 Scent Pak, but if you would like an additional Scent Pak it is $7 and lasts WELL over a year! The construction of the Buddy is sturdy and soft! Scentsy also has a "Cause Buddy" called Sasha, she is $30.
You'll make a child's day when you give Sasha, Scentsy's first Charitable Cause Scentsy Buddy, in support of the mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities® to improve the health and well-being of children all over the world. Scentsy will donate 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of this Buddy directly to the organization.The only problem I see with Scratch is that the tag on his bottom is pink. Not really a big deal, but for boys who are sensitive to minor things, it may be an issue.
** Scentsy recommends that the Buddy's be used for ages 3 and over, but I don't see why, other than the obvious, don't leave your child nu-attended with a stuffed animal if they tend to pull things apart or the Scent Pak since they could potentially eat the very small beads inside-not a choking hazard, but I'm sure it would upset their tummy.

Five Quotes What is Temptation? Temptation in Macbeth What is the role of temptation in the play? Five Quotes Cont. Quote 5)
All hail, Macbeth, thou shalt be king hereafter! […] Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none: So all hail, Macbeth and Banquo! Witch 1 (1.3.53-71) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the Movie Witches use the power hungry nature of Macbeth to kill the king
Willy Wonka uses the greed of the parents and children to temp them to steal the everlasting gobstopper Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Macbeth gets doubts when he tries to kill the king but his greed and the temptation gets the better of him.
The children are told not to try any of the candy prototypes but the temptation and their greed gets the better of them. Quote 1)
With this there grows
In my most ill-composed affection such
A stanchless avarice that, were I king,
I should cut off the nobles for their lands,
Desire his jewels and this other's house:
And my more-having would be as a sauce
To make me hunger more; that I should forge
Quarrels unjust against the good and loyal,
Destroying them for wealth.
Malcolm 4.3.87-95 Quote 2)
I grant him bloody,
Luxurious, avaricious, false, deceitful,
Sudden, malicious, smacking of every sin
That has a name. But there's no bottom, none,
In my voluptuousness. Your wives, your daughters,
Your matrons, and your maids could not fill up
The cistern of my lust, and my desire
All continent impediments would o'erbear
That did oppose my will. Better Macbeth
Than such an one to reign.
Malcolm 4.3.66-69 Why is charlie and the chocolate factory essential for understanding Macbeth? Quote 4)
Was the hope drunk
Wherein you dressed yourself? Hath it slept since?
And wakes it now, to look so green and pale
At what it did so freely? From this time
Such I account thy love. Art thou afeard
To be the same in thine own act and valor
As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that
Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life,
And live a coward in thine own esteem,
Letting "I dare not" wait upon "I would, "
Like the poor cat i' th' adage? - Lady Macbeth 1.7.38-48 Definition: The act of convincing a person to do something that is unwise or immoral. Often results in the victim regretting their decision. Synonyms of Temptation Bribery - To offer money or anything that is in value in order to produce services or gain influence. Seduction- To gain a certain service or favor using sexual intercourse as persuasion. Lure: To attract something by the promise of some sort of reward or prize. How does temptation help the witches manipulate Macbeth into his own demise? To initiate the rising action of the play. - The problem or the initiating event is when Duncan gets murdered by Macbeth.
- The Temptation of the crown encourages the murder To be the source of most of the problems Macbeth has to struggle with. - This ongoing struggle Macbeth has with temptation helps keep the play interesting. - Temptation blinds Macbeth in foreseeing the results of his actions.
- Makes Macbeth tunnel-vision in protecting his seat as king, ignoring all of the moral aspects against the murder. To overpower all morality in Macbeth, and causing him to commit the murders They both showcase the theme of temptation
They both show how greed and temptation can make people do bad things Quote 3)
I have no spur To prick the sides of my intent, but only Vaulting ambition which o'erleaps itself And falls on th'other" Macbeth 1.7.25-28 What are some problems Macbeth has to face? Temptation leads to the Murder
Murder creates the Problem Dancan's Murder Macbeth ignores that...
Duncan has ruled humbly and graciously
Macbeth should be protecting Duncan as his kinsman.
Macbeth is the host and therefore should be keeping his guests safe in the household. Baquo's Murder Macbeth ignores that...
Banquo is one of his closest friends and comrades in battle.
Baquo's loss means less support for Macbeth being king.
Banquo knows the prophecies therefore might understand Macbeth and his problems. Macduff Family Murder Macbeth ignores that...
He is murdering innocent people in his thirst for the throne.
Macduff will be given inspiration and encouragement to kill Macbeth in avenging his family.

Bird Watching and Dolphin Watching
Bird Watching
Birdwatchers from near and far flock to Clare which has an international reputation for the numbers of rare species that pass through these parts. Expect excellent views of breeding seabirds such as kittiwakes, puffins, razorbills, fulmars and guillemots all
along the cliffs of the west coast. Ballyvaughan Bay is good for wildfowl, waders, divers, ringed plover, oystercatcher and terns. The best place in Ireland to see large numbers of purple sandpipers, turnstones, sanderlings and ringed plover is at Lurgan Bay, south west of Quilty and at the south west tip of Clare is the spectacular Loop Head Peninsula, where great numbers of skuas, storm petrels and shearwaters can be seen flying past.
The best place for birdwatching
in Clare are the Bridges of Ross on Loop Head Peninsula.
Dolphin Watching
The Shannon estuary is the longest sheltered, naturally deep estuary in the country - a playground for a number of bottlenose dolphins. These can be observed from various places along the coast as on Dolphin watching tours which depart from the Kilrush Marina and from Carrigaholt harbour.

In the next place was Try'd a Butcher , against whom it was alledged that he and his Companions rob'd one Thomas Barnard of about five or six pound in money, and afterwards desperately wounded him, with an intention, as was thought, to have kill'd him, to prevent Discovery , being, it seems, known to the said Barnard; But he by providence escaping with his life, declaring the manner of the fact, and naming one of the principal persons concern'd in it, upon a diligent serch it was not longe'r he was apprehended.This Fellony and Robbery was committed a little beyond Islington , between which place and Barnet divers others were robbed that Evening, and as was supposed, by the same gang, but no more of them were taken, neither did any of the persons so robed give Evidence against the Prisoner, but onely the said Thomas Barnard , who knowing him so well, and giving in so plain an Evidence against him, the Jury could do no less then find him Guilty , according to which evidence he now stands Condemned.
I have highlighted this from the Old Bailey records website - because I think it is intrinsically interesting. But before that the website itself is pretty extraordinary and is going straight on my blogroll- as it contains all the published records for the Central Criminal Court at the Old Bailey from the 17th Century to the early 20th Century when records ceased to be published. I am adding this to my blogroll because its a really wonderful resource for anyone interested in social and criminal history.
I bring up this entry though, about the robbery and attempted murder of Thomas Barnard, for a variety of reasons. One is two important signs of the way that life has changed: the first is that Islington in the 17th Century was a village not part of London as it is now, Barnet too is part of London. Highwaymen do not frequent the roads around Barnet and Islington now: that's partly because there are no highwaymen in the UK (we will move onto the reasons for that later) but those roads on which Thomas Barnard was robbed are today roads through suburban houses, filled with the bustle of city life and the area where he was robbed is now passed through by trains and tubes. That's one major change- another is the amount of money for which he was robbed- five or six pounds isn't that much money today, it will buy you some fruit, a sandwich and a coffee at some places today- in the seventeenth century five or six pounds was a hell of a lot of money. A lease in 1688 for a house with "courtledge [curtilage] orchard, garden, Hempland Meadow and close on West Cheseldon, one and a half acres" was worth roughly 2 pounds a year. So Thomas Barnard, fifteen years before that lease was brought out, was robbed of the equivalent of a two rents for a house with land- that's a hell of a lot of money in anyone's terms.
What else is interesting in this record? Well there is plenty more obviously but lets start with something I consider very interesting. There are no Highwaymen in England anymore. Why? It might seem like an odd question- afterall the levels of violence have fallen across the centuries- but think again whilst levels of violence have fallen, the types of violence have not disappeared. Violent assault by men on their wives, I would guess is less than it was in 1673, but it has not disappeared. So why did Highwaymen disappear? There is a reason that highwaymen disappeared and it has to do with the fact that their habitat disappeared. So let us look for the moment at what happened to their habitat- the rural roads around Islington and Barnet which once were prayed on and dominated by gangs like those referred to above: well one thing is that they aren't rural any more, but there are rural roads so what has changed about those rural roads?
One word comes to mind, one word that really explains the way that the English countryside has changed: that word is "Enclosure". From 1500 onwards English agriculture changed its ways completely- in your stereotypical medieval village the fields were divided into strips. Each peasant would have a strip and the field of several acres would be managed by the whole group collectively rather than individually. Property rights were subject to what E.P. Thompson called the 'moral economy'- they were not absolute. Common fields existed within people's property and were tilled by all- often for instance people would have rights to take turf for fires from a field whilst the ownership went with someone else. Significantly of course, there were common ways stretching across fields and boundaries between fields were crooked and fields were unfenced and unhedged and only locals might know where a right of passage had evolved across centuries. In this system of local byways and chaotic field organisation, highwaymen could easily evaporate into the landscape, knowing routes unavailable to less local law enforcement officials. Notice what happened within Barnard's case- he only managed to gain a conviction because he recognised his assailant.
That brings me to my last interesting point about what we can tell from this one transcript: Barnard recognised his assailant. Presumably the assailant was someone Barnard knew in his other trade as a butcher- again remember this is a local society. More often than not, people would know their assailant if they were local. Unlike most of us, whose worlds at home scarcely stretch outside our streets- these were people whose main social network were those who lived closely to them. In the Barnard case, this Butcher was unlucky enough to come across someone from the community who used his local knowledge to escape and who could identify the assailant. Of course by the end of the seventeenth century that was changing- by 1700 a tenth of the population of England lived in London- but still as a general truth it holds, this was a much less numerous and much more local society than any any of the readers of this blog lives in.
One thing though doesn't appear to have changed- if we look at the record and assess it on face value (ie assume it tells the truth about whatever happened that night in Islington) then it confirms something all of us are familiar with from the news: that robbers when frightened by the prospect of discovery will often murder rather than pursue their other crime. History is full of these moments of strangeness- when the past seems so far away that we can barely understand it (for a Londoner imagining Islington as a village!) and moments of familiarity where you can understand immediately what is happening. The task of a historian is not to forget when feeling one emotion that the other exists- history is the human past: it happened to people, but not people like us.

Bertie the Bus

Bertie the Bus is a small red bus character from The Railway Series books by the Rev. W Awdry and who also appears in the spin-off children's television series Thomas & Friends (AKA Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends).
Book character[edit]
Bertie first appeared in 'Thomas, Terence and the Snow', a story in Tank Engine Thomas Again (published 1949). His first major appearance came in the next story, 'Thomas and Bertie', where he had his famous race with Thomas. The story proved to be very popular, which ensured that Bertie would return. He did eventually return, in Edward the Blue Engine, becoming the only non-rail character to appear in more than one book by the Reverend Awdry. He made one final appearance in More About Thomas the Tank Engine (published in 1986), by Christopher Awdry, though has had numerous mentions under Christopher's name.
Unusually, the story Thomas and Bertie was not based on a real-life incident, unlike most of the Railway Series stories. Rev. W. Awdry said that such a race was not likely due to "reprisals from authority", and he is careful to note in the story that "although, between you and me, they would like to have another race, I don't think they ever will".
TV series character[edit]
Bertie is first seen rescuing Thomas's passengers after Thomas gets stuck in a snowdrift adjacent to Mrs Kyndley's cottage, though the character is not properly introduced until the following story, Thomas and Bertie. Bertie's most famous adventure was challenging Thomas to a race in which Thomas eventually won. Bertie also had to chase after Edward after he left the station without Thomas's passengers.
Thomas and Bertie do in fact have a lot more races in the television series. One is in the Season 7 finale, Three Cheers for Thomas, but Bertie only won because Thomas was sidetracked with collecting the sport medals.
He is one of the best known non-rail characters in the television series. He is cheerful and boisterous, and although he enjoys a good-natured rivalry with the engines, he is most usually seen helping them out, whether bringing passengers or assisting when the railway is out of action.[1]
From 2011 to 2012, Bertie was voiced by Rupert Degas (UK/US). From 2013 onwards, he is currently voiced by Keith Wickham (UK/US) in the CGI version of the series.
Thomas and the Magic Railroad[edit]
In the film Thomas and the Magic Railroad, Bertie was voiced by Kevin Frank. In this, Bertie had a habit of saying, "Vroom-vroom!" at the end of his speeches. This habit was carried over into the television series for a short time. He also asks Thomas to have a race which is a reference to Thomas and Bertie, Better Late Than Never, and Trust Thomas.
In real life, buses have often worked hand-in-hand with railways. Bertie is a single-decker front entrance bus, with a direct line of descent from the English charabanc of the 1930s and '40s.[1] It is difficult to determine what sort of bus Bertie is, but the Real Lives of Thomas the Tank Engine website suggests that he is close to an AEC Regal or a Gilford.
The red livery was common on buses in the United Kingdom, most famously being used by London Transport.
In the story, 'Bertie's Chase', in The Railway Series, Bertie's license plate reads CRD54. CRD no doubt stands for C. Reginald Dalby, the illustrator at the time. 54 refers to the fact that the story was published in 1954. However, in "Thomas and Bertie", Bertie doesn't have a license plate at all.

Hey, that was pretty good.
Yeah, this was pretty damn good. Say what you want about the son of a bitch, but he still knows how to throw a song together. And although his voice is great, what makes this album a damned good listen is the guitar work. I don't know who did what (Bumblefoot, Robin Finck, and Buckethead are all credited if Wikipedia is to be believed), but the guitar work is much, much, much more interesting than Slash's basic bluesy jams, with Rage Against The Machine-esque screeching, Dream Theater-like chromatic chords and just flat-out shredding.
Of course, Axl could've recorded 45 minutes of fart noises and Hawaiian nose-humming and Rolling Stone would've given it three stars, but a four-out-of-five star review, although slightly high to me, is certainly understandable.
Shackler's Revenge, Better, and Catcher in the Rye stood out to me.
So. Next one in what, 2023?

The Nightmare Before Christmas?
"Christmas comes but once a year. But when it does it brings good cheer". So goes the old adage anyway.
For many people Christmas time certainly is a marvellously festive occasion, met with much anticipation and embraced in with almost child-like enthusiasm. The tree and decorations go up, presents are bought, food and drink are stocked up, the family is greeted, welcomed and fed. Seemingly, it is a time of indulgence, magnanimity and abundance, (at least until January's credit card bill arrives!)
There are also many people who do not like Christmas for a variety of reasons, they might think it is all too silly and commercial and wish to avoid the mass hysteria that seems to take over around this time of year. These people are quite content to tolerate the bits of the festivities that do not challenge their beliefs or logic, and aside from the inconvenience of crowded shops, the indignity at enforced joviality, the Secret Santa at work, or having to suffer Christmas films, can get through the festivities relatively unscathed, breathing a huge sigh of relief when it is all over.
However there is another group of people for whom Christmas can feel like a nightmare. Christmas, with it's emphasis on abundance, comfort and warm glowing love, is a time that can make people painfully aware of what is missing from their lives.
During this festive season, the media bombards us with images of family, togetherness, and prosperity. The advertisements show the archetypal harassed mum fussing over the preparations, getting the home ready; then heroically tackling the Christmas dinner. Afterwards she sits serenely watching over her extended family. Everyone is happy. Everyone is healthy. Everyone is here.
This for some is an even bigger reminder that everyone might not be happy, everyone might not be healthy, everyone might not be here. So for these people, Christmas can bring a sense of dread, unease, or loneliness. Christmas can make people feel unhappy and depressed. Christmas can make people feel angry. Christmas can ignite a deep churning longing, and feelings of emptiness or overwhelming sorrow.
This could be for a variety of reasons, to do with physical or mental ill health, redundancy or unemployment, relationship difficulties, family estrangement, bereavement, to name but a few. These challenges could have occurred recently, or many years ago, or are ongoing. The painful feelings that are always there can become exacerbated at Christmas time, when everyone else seems to be happy.
For people who are facing such emotional challenges during the festive season, the first step is to acknowledge those feelings. Stoically soldiering on, and putting on a brave face can be exhausting. It is important to clear some space where feelings can be met and experienced honestly. There are many options for this. Some people might like to keep a journal, or take a long walk where they can reflect, some may prefer to engage in exercise or a sport. Some might find that helping others, perhaps through volunteering offers a sense of purpose and fulfilment. Many might prefer to share their feelings with another person, such as a close friend, a family member, a trusted colleague, or religious mentor, if applicable. Others will choose this time to seek out the professional help of a counsellor or psychotherapist.
The overall aim, whatever the chosen method, would be for the feelings to be permitted and acknowledged, to achieve self-acceptance and a degree of calmness and readiness to begin to move forwards with their lives.
As for the festivities, whilst many people do indeed enjoy this season in the traditional sense, it is worth noting that a lot of what is portrayed in the media represents an ideal. It is important for all of us to consider how we as individuals are able to mark this time, and base this on our own beliefs, values, and personal circumstances right now, whilst being ever mindful that ultimately what each and every one of us wants is to feel happy and fulfilled.

Implement MoU signed between Hindraf and govt, NGO tell City HallPETALING JAYA (Nov 15): The Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) today urged the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to exhaust all avenues before resorting to bulldozing temples, in response to an email that is being circulated on the possible demolition of at least 23 Hindu temples in the capital.
Its national advisor N. Ganesan, a close aide to Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department P Waythamoorthy, echoed the latter's view that DBKL should go back to the memorandum of understanding (MoU) inked between Hindraf and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak just before the general election.
A civil movement called Jakun Malaysia had sent out an email yesterday listing out 23 temples in aggressively developing areas in the city that are bound to face demolition.
According to the statement, these temples are located in areas like Mont Kiara, Kepong, Sungai Besi and Setapak, among others.
"This is not an exhaustive list as there are 10 other temples within the vicinity of Sentul and the surrounding which is in a similar predicament with Sentul Raya Sdn Bhd's projects sprawling over there," it said.
Below is the list of temples:
Kuil Sri Virapatar - Kepong
Kuil Sri Maha Veppan Kaliamman – Kepong
Kuil Sri Nageswari Amman Alayam – Jalan Klang Lama
Kuil Sri Aelumalaiyan – Mont Kiara
Kuil Sri Nageswar Jai Muniswarar – Jalan Sg Besi
Kuil Sri Maha Pathinetthampadi Karupanna Swamy – Setapak
Kuil Om Sri Arulmigum Muniswaran Alayam – Manjalara, Kuala Lumpur
Kuil Sri Ashhathasa Puja Mahaletchumny Thurgai Amman Alayam- Jalan Semantan, Kuala Lumpur
Kuil Sri maha Muniswaran – Warisan Tradisi, Jalan Cheras
Kuil Sri Muniandi – Warisan Tradisi, Jalan Cheras
Kuil Sri Venayagar – Jinjang Utara
Kuil Durgai AmmanNagambigai- Sungai Besi
Kuil Sri Thirumurugan Aalayam – Jalan Semarak
Kuil Sri Maha Athiparasakthi – Jalan Semarak
Kuil Sri Maha Samundeswarie Alayam – Jalan Semarak
Kuil Natha Muniswarar- Jalan Semarak
Kuil Samayapurathamariamman- Jalan Semarak
Kuil Sri Maha Muniswarar Kaliaman – Kg Muhibbah – Jalan Puchong
Kuil Sri Maha Mariamman – Jalan Kg Pasir, Kuala Lumpur
Kuil Sri Maha Annal Agilandeswari - Kuala Lumpur
Kuil Sri Muneswaran Alayam - Kuala Lumpur
Kuil Kaliaman - Kuala Lumpur
Kuil Sri Muniswarar - Kuala Lumpur
"The temples above either face demolishment or relocation through forceful acquisition by government agencies or private sector without any regards even though almost all existed before the independence of the country and the existence of DBKL," said Jakun Malaysia.
Ganesan verified thier concerns and pointed out that the MoU was signed to resolve these standoffs.
"Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor cannot go about doing this as he has done in the case of the temple off Jalan P Ramlee.
"The government and Hindraf had agreed on how this should be handled, that's why the MoU was signed in the first place," said Ganesan.
On Sunday, the connected structure of the Golden Triangle Sri Muneswarar Kaliyaman Temple was torn down by DBKL, after the government claimed only 8ft of land is being required for drainage works.
"We are looking for a win-win solution for all parties and Tengku Adnan should not attempt anything until all this is done," he said.
Ganesan repeated that these temples were built during the British occupation for the Indian migrants who were working at rubber estates which are now prime targets of property developers.
"The workers were evicted, the burial grounds are gone, what is left are the temples. It is the government's social responsibility to offer a solution that is satisfactory to all parties," insisted Ganesan.
Prior to the MoU, DBKL had agreed that temples built before 2008 would not be demolished, while those built after that would be re-located as per guidelines.
However, critics noted that the government has not kept its end of the bargain.

Hello, Larry: Curb Your Enthusiasm Gets Its Best Ratings in Seven Years
A 'True Blood' lead-in helped.
Not even Larry David could find anything to complain about here: Sunday's eighth-season premiere of Curb Your Enthusiasm attracted 1.7 million viewers with its initial 10 p.m. telecast, according to Nielsen. That's the biggest tune-in for Curb since 2004, and a whopping 53 percent better than the show's 2009 season premiere (which aired in September 2009). HBO heavily hyped the show's return after a long hiatus, and there was likely extra curiosity about this season because it takes place in New York rather than LA. But the biggest contributor to the big Curb ratings bump was almost certainly the huge lead-in supplied by HBO megahit True Blood, which averaged 5 million viewers Sunday at nine.

Badjaos begging infront of the Church
in Balayan, Batangas
So they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the
manger. When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds (Luke 2:16-18).
But the Pope's favorites were the small children and infants. When he saw an infant being held out to him by the mother, the Pope loved to take the child into his own arms and embrace the child affectionately as he gave it his blessing.
There is something in all of us that is drawn to the simplicity and vulnerability of infants. We instinctively feel an attraction and desire to protect. Thus the centerpiece of our Christmas season is the infant Jesus lying in the borrowed bed in a borrowed shelter, watched over the protected by his young and perhaps bewildered and anxious parents.
In the midst of our Christmas celebrations, perhaps it is good to fix our attention on that vulnerable babe lying in the dark and damp stable lighted only by one or two lanterns and reflect on the children of our world today.
It may be good to remind ourselves that so many, too many, children who are born this very day face similar precarious and anxious circumstances as this child born more than two thousand years ago in Bethlehem.
an SVD parish in Dasmarinas, Bagong Bayan, Cavite
We are guilty of many errors and many faults but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things that we need can wait. The child cannot wait. Right now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, and his senses are being developed. To the young child we cannot answer, "Tomorrow". His name is "Today" (repeat): His name is "Today".The children born into poverty, the children born into anxious and trying circumstances call out to us in the person of that child of poverty born at Bethlehem. "Today" is the name of the poor, and we are called upon to respond to them as a community of the disciples of Jesus, who preached about the coming of God's kingdom to the "poor". How do we respond to their cries? How do we hold out some hope to them?
I would suggest that, one way would be in examining the priorities in our decision making during the coming year – our decisions as individuals, our priorities as a society, our decisions and priorities as a people. Our former President is on trial at this moment, charged with violating the public trust. What are the criteria by which we make decisions regarding the guilt or innocence of an individual? What are our criteria and priorities in choosing public officials and leaders?
As a nation we face difficulties in the future in the economic sphere, and the challenges and pressures with regard to globalization. How do we establish criteria and decide on the priorities for our economic arrangements?
For ourselves as individuals or as families, what are our criteria and priorities in our decision-making? Certainly the example of the patience, the simplicity, the mutual love of the manger scene at Bethlehem offers us one example: no throne or sumptuous palace for this new born messiah-king. But for so many millions of children born into our world today, a single night's shelter is not enough. The child of today, needs food and clothing and shelter, clean and safe water, health care, education: "TODAY" is the name of the poor. When we talk about priorities and criteria for decision-making, we can see here the logic and wisdom of the Church's "option for the poor" – the poor, especially the children, cannot wait until tomorrow.
This is the criterion that the Church offers for our decision-making, our priorities our policies – in the government, in society for our national leaders, for our economy, and in our personal lives. This is the criterion that Jesus proposed: I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink; naked and you clothed me, a stranger and you took me in, like the innkeeper in Bethlehem who offered that poor family shelter from the cold night almost two thousand years ago this very day.
When we gaze with wonder on this manger scene and the young couple with their newborn child, poor and helpless, we also see ourselves, our own poverty, our won helplessness in the face of so many challenges that confront us as individuals and families, as a society and as a people. But the message that this poor child brings is that we are not alone. God has not abandoned us despite our blindness, our selfishness, and our failures. Emmanuel, "God is with us," is the name that the angel proposed when his birth was first foretold.
Today's reading from the letter to Titus sums it up beautifully:
But when the kindness and generous love of God our savior appeared, not because
of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy, he saved us through
the bath of rebirth and renewal by the holy Spirit, whom he richly poured out on
us through Jesus Christ our savior, so that we might be justified by his grace
and become heirs in hope of eternal life (3:4-7).
