|Brewster's Warbler, UMASS Amherst, MA, May 11, 2014
I started off this beautiful sunny day at UMASS around dawn on Orchard Hill. Although not a banner day for that location still some good stuff around including my first of the year Eastern Wood Pewee (#193) near the old observatory, three species of vireo, lots of catbirds, 16 species of warbler including two Wilson's Warblers plus good numbers of Wood Thrush, Rose breasted Grosbeak and Baltimore Oriole among nearly sixty species. As I was leaving that area I ran into a Hampshire Bird Club group just heading in...hopefully they had some good luck there. I then headed over to the northwest side of campus and started out the stop right with a Solitary Sandpiper in a small rain puddle. I then walked along one of the roads there and managed to find myself a rare Brewster's Warbler (a hybrid of a Blue winged Warbler and a Golden winged Warbler). It was singing a typical Blue winged Warbler song which is why I always check every Blue winged Warbler I hear in the hopes of finding a hybrid. I have had some luck before finding hybrids of Blue winged and Golden winged Warblers...see the links below for some of my encounters and photos:
A decent selection of species during my hour there with 13 species of warbler (or 13.5 if you give the Brewster's Warbler a half species point) among 44 species. After my productive time at UMASS I headed over to the rail trail to check out the mudflat at Hop Brook in the hopes of finding some unusual shorebirds. Nothing too unusual there but did find five species of shorebird including a couple Killdeer, a Spotted Sandpiper, four Solitary Sandpipers, a Greater Yellowlegs and 13 Least Sandpiper. Among the other expected species there I ran across a Bay breasted Warbler.

|Muskrat, Silvio Conte NWR, Hadley, MA, May 11, 2014
Once I was done at the rail trail I had to decide about heading back over to Quabbin or hit Silvio Conte NWR in Hadley. I decided against Quabbin as it can get just so damn crowded on a weekend...so it was off to Hadley instead. Lots of Bobolink as well as meadowlark and Savannah Sparrow activity in the fields before the stables. The trails were a bit slow in places but I still had some decent activity as the winds continued to increase. The best bird was a Lincoln's Sparrow (#194) which popped up briefly not to be seen again. I was on my way out of that location when Devin and Rae and family arrived so I stayed a bit longer with them exploring some of the trails once again. I finally headed for home and arrived around noon to be greeted by a mixed species flock which included a singing Cape May Warbler...the second one at the house this spring!

Later in the afternoon I decided to make a quick run through the hordes of people at Quabbin Park in the hopes of finding the Hooded Warbler seen there yesterday. No luck with that warbler but I did find the male Cerulean Warbler in roughly the same spot it has been for several days now despite the parade like procession of car and motorcycles passing by. Finished the day with 21.5 species of warblers...my best warbler day yet this spring.

BLUE GRASS, Iowa-- Days ago this boarded burnt up building on Salem Street was a home. Now there are no signs of life, just signs of lives lost.
"Everybody who does this job has a few situations that stay with you for the rest of your life," says Blue Grass Police Officer Shawn Sullivan.
Officer Sullivan was on that Salem Street scene that Christmas morning.
Blue Grass police say Larry and Rose Loose, as well as their son Steven, died in the fire. Their other son Michael was pulled from the burning house and later died at the hospital.
First responders can walk away from scenes like this one, but sometimes a scene never really goes away.
"It's only been recently we've really started to recognize the mental health aspect of seeing really horrible things, sometimes on a daily basis," says Sullivan.
"Anytime you respond to any type of fatality, it definitely adds a lot of emotional stress," says Davenport Interim Fire Marshal Jim Morris.
In Davenport a fire claimed the lives of a mom and her four children just last week.
"Most of us here have children, some the exact age," says Morris.
It can be a crushing emotional blow for these men and women trained to save lives.
"Usually after a large incident, there will be a stress debrief where they have trained counselors come in. It's your time to share with other what you're feeling, what's going on," says Sullivan.
Departments have psychologists, chaplains, pastors and other resources available before it's too late.
"The number one killer of law enforcement officers is suicide," says Sullivan. "You could be the strongest person in the world physically, but if you're not okay mentally, that's not going to do you too much good."
Sometimes tragedies like these can leave behind more victims than anybody realizes.

Ironic Contradictions
I'm a long time reader - since way back when I was seven. That makes it over three quarters of my life that I will be a reader for. But it is worth it. When I'm not reading or wasting my time online on here or Goodreads I'll be off playing video games, studying teaching and messing around with friends and pop culture. Or reading some more.

How Fiction Works
is a fascinating theoretical book that should be read by anyone interesting in literature, linguistics and the foundations underlying creative writing itself. James Wood draws references from many different books and breaks everything down to varying levels of analysis to have a look at what makes fiction fiction.
Wood's most interesting aspect of his book is how he breaks everything down into different levels and aspects. What I mean by this is that he has chapters on each important thing that is unique to fiction or plays a highly important part. Narration, narrative, detail, characters, consciousness, language and even realism are all woven into a kind of patchwork. There is no real conclusion to his book it's more a kind of theoretical analysis of what goes on in books. And it's all incredibly fascinating.
There are some sections which are cruder than others, by which I mean rougher and less polished, but on the whole it's very well written. I found the whole aspect of Wood's writing about free indirect style, author's choices in novels and how language can take on a life of its own fascinating. I fully recommend this book for a look at the theory of fiction and to provide readers a way of looking at writer's choices in a different light.

I ordered some items from Dezignlover that I had seen on many design websites and had set my heart on. Dezignlover offered the best price so I went for it. Item arrived very promptly and was delivery great.
My purchases from Dezignlover arrived at the time stated, were well packaged and were as ordered. Will use this company again.
Product is nice, order was handled efficiently and when asked about the delivery status they provided up to date answers. Will browse again.
Je voulais offrir un beau objet pour l'anniversaire de mon mari. Je l'ai donc commandé et tout s'est parfaitement déroulé : livraison très rapide, produit conforme et bien emballé. Merci!
Great product selection on the website, meaning I can buy things I covet from one place, instead of lots of different places! very happy with my purchases, which arrived just in time for my project, all packaged well. Thank you.
This company is one I've used quite a few times because it's reliable, believes in customer service. The last time I ordered something there was a part missing and their customer advisor Sarah replied instantly and the missing part arrived in the post a few days later. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Sarah!
From start to finish, it's been a pleasure shopping with Dezignlover - they make things so enjoyable & easy !
This was a present for my son and daughter-in-law. They loved the ball chair. Fits in nicely with the new renovations. Will buy another one for them once I have saved up. I have used this company before. Excellent as always. Good quick service and arrived on time.
Awesome - I bought for a renovation project a lovely large fragile light fitting shipped across the world to Australia - packaged beautifully so of course it arrived safe and sound, now I'm dreaming of my next purchase.
Good service! The parcels arrived two weeks or so after ordering, so while not the fastest service, they were well packed and all the items were correct. I will be ordering from Dezignlover again and I have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Now that all the hype and fanfare have died down some, what's the verdict on the magic bullet diet pill being sold over-the-counter under the brand name alli?
OK, so in all fairness, manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline has never termed its weight loss pill as magic... or miracle... or even the second coming of the prescription drug Orlistat which was marketed as Xenical. Nope, from Day One, GSK has taken the high road with the hype machine for alli.
It's you and me �" and the insatiable, controversy starved media �" that is to blame for setting up this diet aid up as the end-all for obesity.
What it is
According to the myalli.com website:
"alli is the only FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss product. What makes alli different? FDA approval and a sensible approach that focuses on your long-term success.
"alli isn't just another product for you to buy. alli is a pill with a plan. This program requires a commitment to living your life in a new way as you learn to change your eating and activity habits.
"alli is not for everyone, but alli is an option. If you are ready to take responsibility, alli and your hard work can help increase your weight loss by 50%. That means if you could lose 10 pounds with dieting alone, you could lose 15 pounds working with alli."
Alli is the only over-the-counter medication shown to be safe and effective for weight loss. But for this to work, it must be used with a healthy, calorie-reduced diet.
Registered dietitian Susan Burke March MS, RD, LD/N, CDE isn't as kind.
"Alli is not a quick fix �" it's a Draconian idea, similar to the drug developed for alcoholics," Susan says. "It creates immediate negative consequences for indiscrete behavior; with all too public embarrassment should the user decide to go against the treatment prescribed. The pill works to make you eat differently �" to eat fewer calories from fat, but not necessarily to eat less.
"A prescription drug for alcoholism, Antabuse, promotes sobriety because the expected pleasure from drinking is eliminated and replaced with nausea. Take alli and eat too many calories from fat, and possibly suffer unpleasant 'anal leakage', cramping and diarrhea. Alli is also designed to block 25% of the fat calories consumed. This pill doesn't produce weight loss on its own; it's just may be the 'whip' that certain individuals need to stay on the straight and narrow path to weight loss, but it won't keep the weight off.
"Will you lose weight permanently? Not necessarily. Not unless the diet you adopt to lose weight is the diet you stick with permanently... with some modifications that allow more calories once you reach your goal."
Unfortunate side-effect
Sounds good, right? But unless you've been hiding in a cave or stranded on some Lost-worthy island, you know that the weight loss has a side effect you may not want to grapple with.
To put it as delicately as possible: while using alli, you might want to carry a change (or two) of underwear when you leave your home. The problem is that the extra fat you eat tends to be forcibly jettisoned from your body.
We only wish we were making this up.
Even the myalli.com site notes: "The active ingredient in alli attaches to some of the natural enzymes in the digestive system, preventing them from breaking down about a quarter of the fat you eat. Undigested fat cannot be absorbed and passes through the body naturally. The excess fat is not harmful. In fact, you may recognize it in the toilet as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza.
"The fat passes out of your body, so you may have bowel changes, known as treatment effects. You may get: gas with oily spotting, loose stools and more frequent stools that may be hard to control."
Say what?
According to MSNBC health writer Melissa Dahl, "Dieters have been flocking to drugstores to pick up alli, the first over-the-counter weight-loss pill to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration, despite the scary warning: Stray too far from your low-fat diet and you just might poop your pants.
"The drug's maker, GlaxoSmithKline, has been up front about the pill's side effects, suggesting that first timers wear dark pants or bring a change of clothes to work until they get used to the diet pill's potentially yucky consequences."
If 50% more weight loss (15 pounds rather than 10... ... Continue

Dear Editor,
My name is Jennifer Vines my husband and I own and operated Red Dragon Martial Arts here in Stephenville.
We have had such an exciting year, and want to express how proud we are of our Students. This is our first year doing competitions, and our students have exceeded our expectations by far. We have had numerous students place in each competition that we have been to 1st place to 3rd. We currently have about 6 students qualifying for state which are being held down in Houston. If they place in state then they will qualify to go to nationals in Florida. This blows my mind every time we talk about it. Our students have trained day in and out been knocked down and got back up with more fight. They get discouraged, but never give up. We are so proud of them it's unbelievable. They are not only our martial arts students but our family.

James Murphy has gotten into the habit of posting candid notes to the LCD Soundsystem Facebook page and his latest is about the now sold-out Brooklyn steel residency that was announced earlier this week and kicks off tomorrow. Murphy encourages the fans that might have missed out on tickets to not purchase them from third-party sellers for outrageous prices: "last show, a bunch of people bought fake tickets, for a LOT of money. we can't let you in with fake tickets. not because they're "fake and we're mean", but because the venue has a legal capacity, and we fill it, which means we LEGALLY can't let more people in," he writes. He says that his team will be going through the purchases and deleting ones that seem suspicious, which could possibly free up more tickets tomorrow. Here's his full note:
ok. on it as quickly as i'm finding things out. so it's all sold out. there are cries of bots here and there, but truth be told we've been smashing bots all morning. and tomorrow our "team" will be pouring through the purchases and deleting anything that breaks the rules or looks suspicious, which could possibly free up some more tickets.
on another, more important note: JUST DON'T BUY ANY TICKETS ONLINE!!! many people on stubhub, once again, listed tickets for sale BEFORE ANY TICKETS WERE AVAILABLE, which means that they're fake. last show, a bunch of people bought fake tickets, for a LOT of money. we can't let you in with fake tickets. not because they're "fake and we're mean", but because the venue has a legal capacity, and we fill it, which means we LEGALLY can't let more people in! if you have a friend, who you, like, KNOW, who has a ticket for sale (and if they're a friend, they'll sell it to you for face value) i'd feel comfortable with buying that, but don't buy tickets from strangers on craigslist, eBay, online, ANYWHERE. remove the food supply, starve the parasite.
if you bought a ticket and you can't go, and you don't know of anyone who wants to buy it, i'm scrambling to find a way to deal with some safe and controlled face-value exchange. i can't guarantee it'll work, but we're working on it. shit, it might just be me buying them from you after verifying that they're valid, then selling them myself at face value. i don't know. but i'm working on it. we're not trying to stick you with a ticket you can't use!
anyway, looking forward to tomorrow!
PS. seriously. DON'T BUY EXPENSIVE TICKETS! so incredibly not our last show. we'll be right back.

The gender debate
The common belief amongst the older generations these days seems to be that finding out the gender of your baby is one of the last true surprises in life and thus it should wait until birth. However if you read anything about the young people these days (usually written by those aforementioned older generations) the common consensus is that we all want everything now. We need instant gratification and don't want to wait. I don't normally fit into the stereotypes for my generation, but in this case I do if not by accident.
T and I always knew we wanted to find out the sex of our baby. Not because we are impatient or don't like surprises, afterall it was a big enough surprise finding out everything worked and we infact managed to get pregnant in the first place. And well being impatient - I think I've done my fair share of waiting just to get to the pregnancy part so why drag it out another nine months longer. Admittedly they did make me wait five months to find out, but that's still better than nine.
I mainly wanted to find out because I want the baby to have an identity. I didn't want to go around saying it for months because it seems so impersonal like the baby is an object instead of a tiny little person. He or she sounds so much more caring. Also there is the added bonus of being able to go buy the correct clothes, which by the way are very gender specific these days. Its hard to find so called neutral clothes because even the white ones will have a lion or cat or something on them which makes them gender orientated. Gone are the days of plain white, grey and yellow clothes - good luck finding anything other than singlets and the occasional onesie in those colours.
Of course once you find out the sex of the baby and tell people (which I thought about not doing just for fun) then everyone starts telling you how they know someone who knew someone who was told it was a boy and it turned out a girl, or vice versa. Everyone seems to love to inject a little dose of negative thinking into pregnancy at some point. Seriously why cant people just be happy for you? One such comment did make me have a minor flip out and rethink everything I had just bought for the baby (and second guess whether the ultrasound tech actually had any credibility), but that's because the comment was made to me literally five minutes after I had just blown $100 on very gender specific baby items. The ultrasound lady was actually really lovely and assured me she had never got the sex wrong for any baby in the 12 years she has been doing her job. Considering shes the only one who can actually see inside my belly I'm going to back her over the numerous old wives tales and random stories of people who know someone who's cousins daughter was told the wrong sex. Just to be on the safe side though the cot, pram, car seat and basically everything other than clothes will be gender neutral (but moreso because I don't want to have to buy new ones if the next baby is the opposite sex).
If people are so judgemental about those who find out the sex of the baby then how come one of the first questions they ask is "do you know what you're having"? I guess so they can unleash their endless knowledge on the topic vaguely disguised as advice. At which point the polite response is to smile and nod and make general conversation about why their opinion is obviously right (this goes for all pregnancy advice not just gender related).
For the record I would of been happy with either sex because I'm so thrilled to even have the chance to have a baby of my own. The baby is soon going to have both of us firmly wrapped around her little finger, especially daddy. At least that's what the stereotypical old wives tales tell me.

Finding out the sex of your fetus is a non-bailable crime in India. There are serious issues -an elaborate caucus has been hellbent on extinguishing the female ones out here.ReplyDelete
Coming back to our twins, well never really found out unless they arrived, although I suspect the radiologist was aching to tell us. My wife had a troubled pregnancy due to an overdistended ovary and all our energies were focused to see her (and the twins) through.
But precisely, you have burst the balloon of hypocrisy with a single question, 'If people are so judgemental about those who find out the sex of the baby then how come one of the first questions they ask is "do you know what you're having"?'

My Dearest & Best x
Oh, what an awful day! I hope you had a good journey yesterday & will have a better one than last on your way home tonight. Its bitterly cold today & raining hard. Well. I haven't filed in any of the cards I have but will leave you to take your choice of cards for myself & Gidd & Bert, also for mother, & the family & I will send to my own ones. Don't bother about dolls, you boy- I've got a couple — Haby Dept had a delivery of a dozen ( a prize delivery they call it ) so I was just lucky in getting one —10/= but its got a china face; not too badly dressed as things go today, so that's that- but honestly they have had some lovely toys in their few years as children…. Kids little picture books are a price too. By the way, I went to the best bookshop here yesterday for 'The Wind in the Willows' by Kenneth Graham; they told me it is out of issue, no further publications are promised, so our luck is out there, as you say, she is so advanced in her reading that a small girls book wouldn't seem to fit her. Still it is possible there may be an odd copy somewhere about, so you could perhaps enquire at one or two of the big bookshops your way. Here is list of my collection- 3 fancy boxes, stationary ( not super, but still paper & envelopes in a fancy box, 5 writing pens- 2 this size paper & three the small popular size. Hairnets & Grips & I'll see about some combs- but are there those nice black ones about that you used to get? I know combs are awfully scarce, anyway- some face powder- & by the way that Lexicon game would be appreciated by Russ & Ivy I reckons. What about some Brilliantine? Brycream you could pass to one of them. They look as if they will have to be wartime parcel of bits & pieces- but the value wont exactly be cheap.
I'll send the pencil box to Val for her birthday- with some nice color crayons to fill it up. What about you sending a 2/6 Postal Order- to buy something it will cost you more & she will do well from us all. Wish the Blinkin' coupons system wasn't so megre- theres quite a lot I'd like to do!!! By the way I shouldn't tell your chaps how often you get home now, otherwise the luck of the draw will not come your way; when have your passes to go through? Went to see 'Song of Bernadette' again yesterday- & enjoyed it- Ger?y was quite impressed too. In a letter from Gerald? Last week she asked me to pass on all my old gloves, they would still do her for cleaning the grate & coal carrying. She little knows the fuss I've got to make of my gloves these days, let alone pass 'em on for stoves!! Them days are over aren't they? Gosh talk about gloves, I came across a list which you had made out quite seven or eight years ago- & the geol..ding always had gloves & chocolates- Oh! Wouldn't it be lovely to have a 2lb box of Lafontes now!!! Well, theres one thought- we appreciated them when we got them- what about the box I kept one year- until my birthday they would last that long now. Never mind dear the good times together again are not far distant we hope, & I hope hard times will never come back- we neeent work at all, & I still get paid for doing that sounds alright on paper- but in practice I bet they'll be some shocks. Well, cheerio love, hope you had a nice weekend. Don't leave that bedroom untidy will you? Cheerio for now xxx All my love & thoughts your own loving wife x Marie x

Thanks for your letter, & it was certainly a gruelling journey- pity they don't put more corridors on- what a life at London Road- that's some billet- guess the sooner they decide about some other places the better for all concerned- as the a.m. people must be getting fed up with it too. They say on the wireless that they've got so many airforce personnel they are drafting them into the other two forces- particularly the army- as that is where they are wanted, seems such a daft arrangement, although they add they are continuing to take recruits. Do you think bringing up the matter of remuster has brought about the recent change about for you & those other chaps? Went to the pictures by myself on Monday night- mother dosen't care for pictures she says- Monday 6 p.m. I did the front garden by cutting the grass, clearing the beds of toffee papers, rags & other odds & ends, & mowed the back lawn- but I'm scratched to bits for overlooking the rose trees, & plonking into the taller ones. The weather keeps nice, that's one thing in it all. Yesterday we went to the Botanical gardens. Con & the children. They enjoyed it…can't seem to think of anywhere nice to go except to Frenches & Brittans..It would have been nice by the sea this weather, wouldn't it? Uncle Harry turned up at teatime last night- he does look so thin & ill- but he says he couldn't stand life in that Linton institution any longer & has come back to the lodging house here- I got that tea tin open & passed it on to mother- its best to do that think, don't you- Well dear, did your washing yesterday ( what a pile ) & hung it out, if she doesn't do it on me , I'll iron it. Well cheerio, love. Hope you are feeling better & looking forward to seeing you x Your own loving Marie xxxx p.s. Had a warning Monday night.

My dear George,
Thanks for letter glad to hear you are keeping well, & trust something will soon turn up for you either a nice shop or a nice house... Bill [ brother ]said he has not heard any more about that house at Harston , there, that big shop for sale & to let the corner of Glouster Street that said to be a cycle shop and another the corner of Parkers Piece that said to be another house. no doubt there will be lots soon as there are a lot of people going away. Glad you have got yourself a watch for you will get over that, sorry I am not able to send you a cheque to help you on a bit, it is very nice when a fellow & parent are well off though to give help now and again in stead of the other half about. Well dear Marie will be here after Friday or Saturaday & it will be rather nice if you turned up to.
your loving mother

I forgot to mention yesterday not to worry about a wrist watch strap as I got one on Saturday at Boots for 1/9. Its another like the leather one you got me at Cambridge- so if this wears as well it will be OK- because it's the cheapest I've seen, anyway. I had a letter from mother this morning- & she tells me Con is expecting again.. Well I hope the jag in your hand has healed up alright- I always remembered to ask, as soon as I had posted your letter!!! Barbara is not coming to Nottingham after all with Nicolas- so they are a bit disappointed about it. Isn't the weather awful- nothing but rain- & now its so cold with it. Had a letter from the old boss yesterday- he seems to be Ok in health but seems to have trouble with an ill-fitting artificial limb. The paratroops are all clearing out from W.P. now, so expect theres something due. We hear the Hall is to be an Officers Convalescent place. Well darling, I don't seem to have much to say- but hope you are OK & things are going will with you. All my love as always your Own loving wiff xxx Marie xxx

My dearest & Best x
Have taken Cons letters to the hospital this am, & we've just had our dinner- was going to take the kids on the rec: but its turning with rain again- proper thunder showers- so thought I'd write a few lines. We had a nice time together last night. Plenty to drink & they all got merry; old Ivy is a scream when she has had a few- she kept us in fits- & on top of that she goes home in the middle of it all, comes back with a basin of what looked like beaten eggs- plus the egg beater, & made us all beat it up like juice & when we all wanted to know what it was in aid of, she told us it was egg flip! 4 eggs, gin, brandy & port- & my goodness — it was lovely!! Wish you could have some- Arthur made me laugh to kill myself!! His soppy grin & then he says- drunken rabble- take 'em away- bring me dancing girls- then she started doing the can-can with the egg beater as castanets- I thought I should have collapsed! It was damn funny- but it bucked mother up no end- I'm going back tomorrow afternoon, as I have an appointment for my hair Wed: morning, so must get back. I wanted mum to come to the pictures but she didn't feel up to it and said with this bronchitis she dare not go far- & as the sun has come out we're off to the Rec! Cheerio my love, they're waiting, Aunt Phobe has called & sends her love to you all my love, as always your Own loving wife Marie xxx
Leter21. April 26th 1945 138 Harrow Road Wollaton Park Nottingham
My dearest Precious, x,
I'm typing these few lines. I can't seem to sandwich time in during the day to write to you, and I find this is quicker. I'm answering two letters in this one, one of them from you in the "blue envelope" and the other written on Salvation Army paper. It is only natural you'd lose track of what letters are about because of the long transit, yours taking four days to reach me, and I expect mine to you take about a couple of days- but getting my replies in their sequence, I think you'll find I comment on most things you write about. Anyway, I'm answering the blue envelope one now first. I only get the chocolate once a month, so I can't send you much in any case, and I send it in case you don't get a change of diet much, or feel like a nibble when you are out for a stroll. I only like milk chocolate really like those Cadbury's you used to give me, so my sending the plain chocolate is not really generosity is it? You would have liked the shawl I sent Con it was a nice one only a few pence short of 9/- - and she certainly seemed pleased with it. No I don't think I'm paying a good bit of I.T, on the 212 pound a year, as it works out at about 6 pound on the year- but that is actually up to date, although I suppose I shall shortly be receiving a new Code Form, and hope the number wont be changed. Well. I put 10 pound in the P.O. just before Easter, and now saving for my holidays, which I shall make the last big splash for the year. Anyway, going down to Gidd will no involve a lot of extra spending, not in the drink line anyway, because they only indulge in one, and then only shandy or cyder- but of course with Ann being there now, it may have even altered that habit. D.V. I'll try and get to Buckfast again, if the buses run there- the last time I was in Paignton, there were no long distant buses, but rumour has it there are many more cars to be put on the road- by more petrol becoming available.. Then I can keep a little spare cash handy for inclusion in the old tin box. By the way dear, while I guessed perfume would be expensive, I had no idea when I asked you to get some that it was so dear as it is- better cut that lark out anyway, as I reckon it left you pretty broke after that purchase. If you've got to pay tax, well, I guess it's better to wait until you get home again, because after all they will surely allow you to come home with as much stuff as " presents" I see that you are due for your 48hours in Paris from to-day, so hope you will have a nice trip, but don't run into any more trouble with yanks and revolters and things, will you? No, in your reply to your letter of the 19th written in the S.Army- I'm glad you got the other cigarettes. I intend to send them all service rates duty free, but what with the Cooks lot not arriving, and possibly being stolen ( which they nearly were ) I sent you a big batch to start you off. Then mother got worried too in case you hadn't any fags, so that was her contribution- sent you in the towel. You should be getting another 200 Churchmans in the course of the next week, and that will be the last lot I have ordered for you, so when you get them everything will be in order, and you will be set up for a little while in smokes. Don't worry about soap- if you want some, tell me, and I'll send you a tablet. The position as regards soap is this. There are four points allowed on the ration book for soap washing powders, etc. Mrs Wilde takes two for doing my washing, and I take the other two for soap, which is two for a big bar and/or 1 each for two smaller ones. With the soap you kindly collected for me when at Kettering, it put me "into fund" therefore I can easily spare you a bar each month from my current allowance. See?? So don't forget to ask for it, love. By the way have you any use for soap flakes IF I can get hold of any for my ration? Will it help any, because I can soon find a tin to pack some into! I'm going to crochet myself some gloves in fine white string- I have seen some, and examined them, and am sure I could make a pair if I tried Don't write to Rotherhams- love. Yes, it's a fact that the German prisoners are getting the same food ration as our fighting men- I can't think what the heck our authorities are about what with trying to feed Europe, our armies and navies, etc, this lot of islands seems to be a well of everything but there's such an outcry about it that I think that are "thinking" about lowering it. Well for my part I'd swop my job any day at the present time for the lot of the prisoners in Wollaton Park- this lovely sunny weather, in beautiful surroundings, and no work to do but just laze around- its scandalous. We will be sending back to Germany a few thousands of full healthy men, while our own boys coming back are diseased and half starved- we've had the gloves on too long, and the terrible things which are coming to light in these Concentration camps beats even the wildest imagination- talk about Jules Verne in the 20th century it's fantastic- the swine they are- they should have the life as a nation crushed out of them for centuries, and never be allowed to rise again after such fiendish treatment of those under them. I only hope they'll get the gang of them, and shoot them without mercy- they should not be allowed a fair trial, but just a drumhead trail, and shoot summarily, I had a letter from mother yesterday. She says they all enjoyed themselves at Joan's party, and also mentioned that Arthur was going home this weekend, and having another birthday party; I somehow thought that he wouldn't let that occasion pass without having another "do", in spite of the fact that Vi's birthday and his were to be celebrated jointly. Mother also mentioned that Mrs Bavister died a week aho to-day and was cremated at Huntingdon on Saturday. I expect she will be telling you in her letter. I'm sorry I didn't go across to see the poor thing at Easter- although Mother mentioned that she didn't think then she was long for this world. Well springcleaning is now finished, and of course everywhere looks spick and span- but Mrs Wilde got a letter from her sister yesterday saying that she could not say when she would come, as her husband was still to unwell to travel. Mrs Wilde said that she wasn't going to be messed about, as if there was a chance of getting away while I was on holiday, she wanted to have a change. Well, seeing that she hasn't had a holiday since we've been up here, I guess she needs it. So she's written off to Worthing Town Hall to get some addresses where she is likely to stay. Well, don't you think this incident is a bit of darned sauce on Guy's part. When she went home , she had the last lot of her luggage sent home through the Firm by passenger train. Well, on the day she left Beale didn't know the cost, so she said well, I would pay what was due and settle with me. Well, it came to five bob, so I paid up and looked big, and blow me she's been gone a month, and never sent me the cash!!!!!!! I honestly didn't think she'd serve me like that- whether I want it or not at once, it's a matter of principle I think. Mrs Wilde had to write and ask herto return the street door key, which she did in a registered envelope, but never put my five bob in it too and got out of that debt!!! I should have thought her thrifty mind would have worked that out before hand, and so saved poundage on the P.O. WHEN she deigns to send it to me. I think it's the best bit of sauce I've had for years- because if she was hard up, I wouldn't think any more about it until she could manage to pay, but being the mean thing she is, it's made me really downright wild. After the rain we've had it's turned very cold but I hope that it will be warmer on Saturday when I am selling flags. Jerry sounds as though he's "copping a packet" in Berlin jut now- what a hell of a place it must be- but serve them right, every inch of the way- the Russians will take their gloves off, and hold no brief and give them everything they've got, - but they are so sadistic they'll die in the resistance of such an onslaught. Glad to say I'm feeling much better again now, that pain in my hip has gone away, and I'm sleeping better. I hope you continue to keep alright dear. Take care of yourself won't you? Bill Cox has been in the house this week , paid for my lunch one day, and comes and sits besides me every other day he's here. He hoped I didn't mind, but he was on his own, and so… someone said we looked nice walking down together in Houndsgate, and the others in the office tell me they won't split to you!!!!!! Well, my love , I think I've said all I can think about just now, so will get this posted to you, and hope you have a nice leave. Would be nice if I could hop over to see you wouldn't it- or better still if you could hop over'ere! Never mind, heres looking forward to July. All my love and thoughts, dear, ever and always, your own loving, MARIE x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.
War Letters no.6
These letters belong to my aunt Joan Punter ( nee Toller ) and were given to me to copy onto this site. These contain interesting home front information and political views of the war. They were written by my Great Aunt Marie to her husband George Cruden. ( both now deceased. )
In several of these letter Marie refers to George as Peter Precious- as she was a Catholic from Ireland and didn't want to introduce him to her family as George ( the English kings name) she called him Peter.
Letter 6
Thursday, the 24th. 1941.
My Own Dearest Peter Precious.x.x.x.
Was most pleased to get your letter this morning, and to know that you arrived at the old spot safely, and carrying on with the mess work. Was the M.O trying to be funny, regarding your promotion, and also if you want to carry on with the mess job to have a medical? Darned funny they were glad to let you go to Hatfield without a medical, wasn't it. I do hope your promotion gets through, it seems to silly to advise you that you've got it and then take it away. Cant your officer help you? Perhaps you might all get drafted away en bloc ( The Hatfield crowd I mean ) to another little place on the pioneer stunt. It would be nice now the better weather is coming wouldn't it. I have sent some socks on to you to-day and also a letter but I think I have forgotten "officers mess" on it, so if there is a delay you will know the reason. I also enclosed in the socks the bottle of Lavander oil. Be on the lookout for some more of it - In London according to rumour, there seem to be most things about to be had. Nottingham is without cigarettes again - although I personally have plenty just now, but one of the girls here, whose husband is on war work, says they cant gat one anywhere. Of course they are rationed just now, and if you're not there just when they're about, you're unlucky for the rest of the time.
I got your parcel which you sent from 95 alright, and I take it that you are sending another. Thanks awfully boy, and I'm risking a five bob postal order in the hope that it reaches you so as not to spin you out with the different postages., plus the cost of the parcel.
We are having a "gas attack" tonight, so hope we'll get through it alright. It's been a lovely day, although this morning, it was a real north-east wind. I'm sorry that you still have the long days work to do, but still if you like it, and find things not so much of a rush, no doubt it helps the day through.
I did some digging for Mrs. Wilde the other evening. A nice square bit at the end of the garden where for the whole of the winter there have been the remains of some tall popular trees, which Mrs.W thought she would have cut down a bit. Everybody wanted them for beansticks, and they were ideal for that purpose, but no one wanted to take them until they wanted to put the beans in. Therefore she decided that she would get rid of the whole lot, and not put up with the untidiness. So she told her son-in-law, and the girls next door, and they soon put a move on and got their share. John burnt the rest on Sunday afternoon, when he called, and then on the Monday I had a 'go' at digging. Moved four hugh paving stones which were part of a 'crazy gang' business, and made some steeping stones with them to the air-raid shelter. We may be glad to get in there soon, if things go on as they are. However, it has been too cold to continue, and we have found ourselves during the past three nights hugging the fire again.
The holiday list is now out and this weekend commences the first week. April 28th to May 12th. I was wondering if I should go on May 12th- just to make sure of getting a holiday, but really I am undecided as to wether to go to Devon. I'd love too, of course, but things are so very very indefinate, and I wouldn't like to be caught out down there if ther was an invasion. What do you think, dear. Guy is going the first two weeks in July. Her people have been very nearly bombed again, so they are leaving the house on the 30th of this month, and moving lock stock and barrel to Little- hampton.
There is no alternative to my going to Devon but Cambridge of course, as I couldn't bear to see London so badly knocked about, and I'm really scared stiff of being killed up there with the perpetual raids going on.
Anyway love, perhaps you could offer some suggestion of what you think I ought to do. Thought perhaps ( if it wouldn't cost too much of hopping up to see Marie Wilson in Blackpool. It would be some seaside air, anyway.
Well, now darling, there is some more work, to get on with, so to make sure of this going off, I'm closing now, but hope you will keep well, and don't go westwards or Citywards, in case there is a raid. Cheerio darling, write whenever you can, all my love kisses, hugs, and everything else,
Always your own

We've recently discovered the NEW Genius Breakfast bakes. I'd seen a bit about them on twitter when they were released but hadn't seen them in the local shops until a few weeks ago, I'm glad I did find them….they're scrummy! I can't have the chocolate ones due to the milk (the may contain in the other two flavours does not concern me with 'just' an intolerance) I'll be honest, and say that the cranberry flavour is my favourite. I have had them for breakfast recently but I find they work wonders for the inevitable 3 o'clock lull when I'm fighting to keep my eyes open…no! it's not my age cheeky…I've always found 3 o'clock a difficult time!
The other flavours available are Chocolate Chip and Honey and Raisin, it's worth mentioning that Genuis state clearly that whilst these are gluten free oats the bakes are;
Not suitable for those with a milk, egg, soya or nut allergy. Not suitable for those who react to avenin – a protein in oats
Thanks to Genius reading one of my tweets about me donating a Gluten Free Hamper for a local MS Therapy Centre Raffle, I was offered some vouchers to repay me for the lovely gesture. I contacted Genius and explained about my two year Blogaversary and they thought it was a lovely idea and sent me £15 in vouchers! Now vouchers are lovely but what's even better is having a nibble on a breakfast bake, with a cup of tea, deciding on how you want to spend those vouchers….am I wrong? Didn't think so!
So for this Blogaversary Giveaway the lucky winner gets all three flavours of Breakfast Bakes and £15 in Genius Vouchers….tea bag not included!
All you need to do to enter is follow the instructions below, the more you do, the more entries you'll get in the giveaway. It's really that simple. Good luck everyone and thank you so much for stopping by and celebrating my two years with me. Rebecca x

We've all been there: You've crushed a tough workout only to be rewarded with stiff, aching muscles the morning after. Turns out that uncomfortable feeling, otherwise known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), is actually a pretty normal side effect of the muscle rebuilding process.Exercise-induced muscle damage in humans. Clarkson PM, Hubal MJ. American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation / Association of Academic Physiatrists, 2002, Nov.;81(11 Suppl):0894-9115.">
What You Need to Know
Despite the prevalence of DOMS, the exact mechanisms that cause it are not totally understood.Exercise-induced muscle damage in humans. Clarkson PM, Hubal MJ. American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation / Association of Academic Physiatrists, 2002, Nov.;81(11 Suppl):0894-9115.">
And DOMS isn't just about soreness. Symptoms can include weakness, stiffness, and sensitivity to touch. The discomfort usually starts to appear within 12 to 24 hours after exercise, peaks after 24 to 72 hours, and should disappear within three to five days.
But here's the good news. Because the body builds tolerance and adapts pretty rapidly, DOMS should become less frequent as you continue exercising at the same intensity.The mode of myofibril remodelling in human skeletal muscle affected by DOMS induced by eccentric contractions. Yu JG, Fürst DO, Thornell LE. Histochemistry and cell biology, 2003, Apr.;119(5):0948-6143.">
Your Action Plan
To date, science has yet to find a definitive way to alleviate DOMS every time it occurs. Letting your muscles rest seems to be the best (albeit obvious) option.Using recovery modalities between training sessions in elite athletes: does it help? Barnett A. Sports medicine (Auckland, N.Z.), 2007, Jan.;36(9):0112-1642.">

European journal of applied physiology, 2010, Dec.;111(7):1439-6327.">
And believe it or not, the jury is out on whether over-the-counter pain relievers (like acetaminophen) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) provide much help. Though acetaminophen appears to be effective at reducing pain—thereby allowing athletes to push harder and improve performance—it may not be effective at relieving the pain associated with DOMS.The influence of acetaminophen on repeated sprint cycling performance. Foster J, Taylor L, Chrismas BC. European journal of applied physiology, 2014, Aug.;114(1):1439-6327.">

Sports medicine (Auckland, N.Z.), 2013, Apr.;42(12):1179-2035.">
To sum up: There's not a great OTC solution for the muscle aches you get the next morning. Passive stretching and other homeopathic approaches have also been unsuccessful at alleviating DOMS symptoms.The effect of passive stretching on delayed onset muscle soreness, and other detrimental effects following eccentric exercise.

No Pain, No Gain?
Soreness is a natural effect of exercise and a sign muscles are benefiting from all that hard work. Most people will experience muscle aches at some point, especially if they're new to working out or starting a new training program (sorry!). In order to improve, overloading your muscles is required, but there's also a law of diminishing returns in fitness. That's the tipping point where you won't get any more out of your workout and might do more harm than good. So if you're in pain during exercise or if your pain lasts longer than a few days, it's probably time to see a doc. Otherwise, train hard, rest up, and enjoy the benefits of a stronger, healthier body.

THE SOUND OF MUSICBert Fink, editor of this newsletter, visited Salzburg, Austria last fall. Once there, he couldn't get THE SOUND OF MUSIC out of his head. Upon his return, he wrote a report for me and the families of the authors - Rodgers, Hammerstein, Lindsay and Crouse. We urged him to share it with you and hope you enjoy reading it as much as we did.
- Ted Chapin
Salzburg, Austria: The ""City of Music,"" birthplace of Mozart and von Karajan, home to the renowned Salzburg Festival, a place of culture, music, and history, surrounded by awe-inspiring mountains and breathtaking natural scenery. Over six million visitors a year descend upon Salzburg. Many of them are German-speaking, but of the numbers who are not, 70% cite one major draw above all others: THE SOUND OF MUSIC.
Set in Salzburg - and with much of the movie version filmed there - THE SOUND OF MUSIC has become synonymous with Austria for many people. After years of wrestling with the pros and cons of this fact, a new generation of Austrian academics and government officials have decided that it is, as the song says, ""Something good."" (It is especially good for local tourism.) At the same time, this link has evoked profound implications for modern Austria, forcing that nation to consider how it is viewed in the outside world.
In October of last year, I was invited to Salzburg as a representative of THE SOUND OF MUSIC authors to participate in the opening ceremonies for a landmark study, sponsored by the Salzburger Landesinstitut fr Volkskunde (the Institute for Folklore Studies of the Province of Salzburg). The Sound of Salzburg: The Trapp Family and THE SOUND OF MUSIC Between Myth and Marketing will culminate later this year in a symposium, and the publication of an accompanying text.
The study will examine all aspects of a unique phenomenon: the true life story of the von Trapp family, who fled Salzburg following the Nazi Anschluss of 1938 rather than serve Adolf Hitler; the perpetuation of that story in immediate post-war Austria and Germany (rosily told in a popular 1956 docu-drama called Die Trapp Familie which neatly glosses over the Anschluss and concludes, rather pointedly, with the von Trapps' first unsuccessful attempt to gain asylum in America); and finally, the exportation of their story from an insular German-language saga to a Broadway musical and subsequent Hollywood mega-film, which gave it not only an international platform but the staying power of myth.
In tandem with the rise of THE SOUND OF MUSIC was Salzburg's role in its success, and the reciprocal effects the film would have on the city. Back in 1964, however, the transformation of Salzburg into a shrine for SOUND OF MUSIC pilgrims could not have been predicted. At the time locals noticed - if they noticed at all - that yet another movie was being shot against their already well-filmed edifices and photogenic terrain.
If this particular film caught anyone's attention that summer, it was probably due to the actions of the self-dubbed ""crazy Americans"" who ran the show: director Robert Wise, producer Saul Chaplin, or choreographers Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood, who were observed singing along - loudly and repeatedly - to tape recordings of various musical numbers that they lugged about with them to gauge camera shots and exact timings as they walked the streets of Salzburg's Altstadt (Old City) and nearby Mirabell Gardens.
In all, THE SOUND OF MUSIC spent eleven weeks shooting in and around Salzburg. The following summer, just months after the film's release, tourism to the region jumped by 20%. Visitors wanted to walk where Julie Andrews walked, they wanted to sing where the children sang. Overnight, Maria surpassed Mozart on the tourists' ""to do"" lists, and a thriving cottage industry was born.
Local tour operators were among the first to tap into this inevitability. Among them was a fledgling company called Panorama Tours, the founder of which had served as transportation director on the film and therefore knew every camera-friendly angle of his hometown. Today, over 70,000 visitors a year climb aboard busses in central Salzburg to take ""SOUND OF MUSIC tours."" Of course, I was one of them.
For the tour, the most popular in their roster, Panorama sends out at least two busses every day in the off-season, sometimes more than double that during the summer. My tour lasted for more than four hours, and covered a fair bit of territory - not only in the city, but to the surrounding countryside where some of the breathtaking aerial opening shots were filmed. Was the tour corny? Yes. Was it good spirited, and silly? Definitely. But it was also strangely moving: I defy any cynic not to melt when serenaded by a busload of 60 strangers - including the driver and the guide - all singing, ""The hills are alive with THE SOUND OF MUSIC..."" as an Alpine vista comes into view. On my bus were a host of Americans, a family from Pakistan, a Norwegian couple, a group from Southeast Asia (Japanese-language tours are conducted weekly), and a gaggle of Australians, several of whom had already booked tickets for the upcoming Sydney stage revival (see p. 2). My seatmate was an exuberant young Australian woman; touring her way through middle Europe, she had arranged a 24-hour detour to Salzburg, simply because of THE SOUND OF MUSIC. ""I loved this film when I was a little girl,"" she told me, adding almost fervently, ""and when I have children, I hope they will like it as much, because I plan to show it to them a lot!""
Later that same night, in a tavern in the shadow of the Hohensalzburg - the imperious, 1000-year old fortress that looms over the old city - I found myself surrounded by another group of tourists, this time white- and blue-haired couples speaking the Dutch-tinged, South African language of Afrikaans. We were all about to experience something called THE SOUND OF MUSIC LIVE DINNER SHOW. I was naturally apprehensive.
The program itself proved to be a crowd pleaser, and with little wonder: despite a smattering of tunes from native composers Strauss and Lehar, plus some authentic folk songs thrown in for good measure, the bulk of the evening was devoted to what this audience came to Salzburg to hear: THE SOUND OF MUSIC. When it was time for a singalong, the Afrikaans chit-chat disappeared, replaced by a roomful of perfectly-enunciated, English-sung choruses of ""Edelweiss.""
That moment encapsulated my Salzburg experience: it made a connection between edelweiss, the Alpine flower that Austrians revere as a national symbol, and ""Edelweiss,"" a song written forty years ago for the second act of a Broadway show. Today, that song has become as powerful an icon to people outside Austria as is the flower itself to the people within; a paradox, certainly, but to hear that song in this place was to experience a validation of its sincerity that I found deeply touching. It also helped me better understand the phenomenon I had been noting throughout my stay: visitors strolling past me on ancient Salzburg streets, singing aloud from THE SOUND OF MUSIC.
