I will sit upon my fat arse all day | and drink wheat beer, smoke stinking cigarillos | and toss the empty bottles and the stubs | around the room | because I like living in my own waste | it makes me feel | closer to history
And when I wake | sometimes from my stupor | the first thing I'll hear | is the glassy burble of a Weissbeir bottle | inadvertently | kicked from under a chair | rolling across the bare floorboards | to clunk and sing | against the rotten skirting | or the iron | leg of the bed | or softly thump | into the fleshy breast or belly | of one of my lovers | reclining on the Persian rug | passed out after a particularly | heavy session | hair not quite | how it looked when they first came in | maybe a little frizzled and burnt | where a flicked cigarillo caught | on the product and lit up | for one of those Witchfinder General moments | or with ash or bits of | orange peel | or jam or stiff | with semen | or margarine | or paint or ink or matted | by shit or mucous or dried wheat beer or | dried blood | mascara | blusher | lard | dope or tangled with snapped strands | of rubber band or scraps of torn | silver paper…
Petronius, my monkey with the golden fur | the furrowed brow of burping babies | or of intellectuals too | literal-minded to quite understand | the workings of wit or irony | sashays stroke flits along the hallway | an anxious buccaneer stroke explorer | searching for a settled | place in evolution | snarls and shows his disdain for me | and for Black Sabbath | early period | He looks good in gloom | as a proper capuchin | in the coffees and tans | of a minor Zubaran | little background creature | with his peanuts and raisins and grapes | is just right for the big mirror | draped in mildewed burgundy velvet | fiddles with Clancy's mobile phone | as if looking for numbers on speed-dial
Jennifer is a dragon girl | her withered tits and obvious | signs of major surgery | like a tattered national flag | sliced and peppered and flayed and ripped | and besmirched and burnt | by battle | but she can lie quiet in a pool | of clear water | fed by the consistent whisper | of an icy stream | look up at the moon | from among blue carp and wrinkled knives | patched together from all she has gathered | over the eventful years | and find herself at a complete loss | and be happy | Is she right | to feel that way? | Isn't it
too early to say?
Whatever, we can spend hours | comparing tattoos | arguing handguns | orchestrating our funeral music | I like her choices | but yearn for a little more | Sabbath | and surely | junk the Sigur Ros?
I will sit on my fat arse all day | thinking of crimes I'd like to commit | great scams and heists | hacks and whacks | consider the poisons I'd prefer to use | the prisons I'd construct | systems of abuse I'd gradually perfect | how slowly to torture my enemies | before finally offing them | dream of the pump in the trunk | 50 in my hand | powder blue suit in metallic bronze sedan | different sets of wheels | roadsters, black trucks, convertibles | and bless the incontrovertible fact | my fat arse is so comfortable | to sit on all day | and the nun is so young and pale and pure | I just wish | she'd allowed | the sunlight to reach her skin | a little more…
Paranoid is the perfect track | and Vertigo its perfect label | even Jennifer | admits that | though by the way he bares his teeth | and coughs and spits | it seems Petronius | does not agree | He's pretty tasteless
Still, there's room on my fat arse for many | different opinions | dogmas | errors | points of view | My fat arse is lush and rolling | like the English countryside in May | say the Sussex Downs or Yorkshire wolds | you could lie down in my fat arse as in a meadow | on the first really warm | spring day | and look up at the gas | giants of clouds | formulating nothing across the sky | not GRIND nightclub | or the Vatican or some | dusty tome | in a government library | or a corner of bits on a secret server | or an omphalos or logos or piece of geometrical | confectionery | a dot or point | notion or cast | iron truth | but the centre of everything | is my fat arse | and I | happen to own it | and with possession being nine tenths of the law | I regret to announce | access is limited | Show your tickets
at the door
And so, I will sit here | frankly for the foreseeable | future | and write elegies and odes | and make grand statements and indulge | in childish horseplay | and pen grave laments | so we can all be sad and worry | about our status or mortality | legacy or supremacy | primacy or sexuality | psyche, mortgages and work | the fate of our class, our race, our values, our entire | civilisation | I like a good lament | before Jennifer and I | and Karl and Bent | possibly | and probably | Rae if she | wakes up in time | and even | Petronius if he | can be enticed | will get slick into the asterisks and chiocciolas and exclamation marks | hashes and kanellbule | and dollars and other | raw and liquid matter | for censors and voyeurs | hypocrites and lecteurs | imagining ourselves back into the signs | that have no signs | to get back to | the lonely widows and orphans | on poorly set pages | for a bad romance or dated pulp | with narks and coppers and ponces | or grisly saw-blade blood-gout | penny dreadful | or unread, the elusive 50s masterpiece | by Roland Bardot | presciently titled | Le Grand Silence

Bajaj invites unions for discussions over shuttered Pune plant2 min read . Updated: 13 Sep 2007, 12:17 AM IST
Bajaj invites unions for discussions over shuttered Pune plant
Bajaj invites unions for discussions over shuttered Pune plant
India's second largest two-wheeler maker Bajaj Auto Ltd said it invited worker unions for a discussion to resolve a stand-off stemming from the company ceasing production of two-wheelers at its Akurdi plant here citing unfriendly state taxes.
Union minister Sharad Pawar, who represents the regi-on, has intervened to avoid what was looking to snowball into a broader labour issue ac-ross the large industrial belt where Bajaj Auto's plant is loc-ated, asking all sides to try and amicably resolve the issue.
The meeting between the two parties is likely to take place on Friday.
"We have sent them (the two unions) our proposals and are awaiting their response," said Bajaj vice-president C.P. Tripathi.
"We are required by law only to talk to the recognized union but have issued an invitation to the other union too, on Pawar's suggestion," he added.
Suryakant Mahadik, leader of the Bharatiya Kamgar Sena (BKS), the recognized union at the company, confirmed he received the invitation. His union represents a minority of the workforce. The remainder are aligned with the unrecognized union, the Vishwa Kalyan Sanghatana.
Dilip Pawar, president of the Vishwa Kalyan Sanghatana, the union which claims to have the support of some 2,000 workers, said he hasn't heard from Bajaj. The two Pawars are not related.
The issue of recognized union status at Bajaj is also under dispute with Vishwa Kalyan filing a case in the industrial court challenging the recognized union status of the BKS. The case comes up for a hearing here on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Bajaj management's proposal to the workers union, in lieu of closure of bike making at the Akurdi plant, has been rejected by the recognized union.
This proposal includes employment opportunities at the Chakan or Pant Nagar units of the firm for the "employable"children of workers or, alternatively, employment offers to the workers at Bajaj dealerships, or a voluntary retirement scheme.
All three proposals have been rejected by the BKS. "We want the... workers back and working in the plant," insists Mahadik.
Bajaj shut the plant on 1 September. About 1,600 workers are jobless but the company says it will continue to pay them for a six-day work week.
Labour unions in Maharashtra are strongly aligned to the Shiv Sena, which once was part of the ruling state government.
Bajaj says it has some 1,300 other staff and 847 blue-collar workers involved in parts of the business such as tooling and logistics for other operati-ons, who are continuing to work.

Polio campaigns are known as national immunizations days when they cover an entire country, and subnational when they only cover part of a country. These polio campaigns aim to interrupt transmission of wild polioviruses by immunizing all children under 5 years of age at the same time, regardless of previous immunization status. As a result, the wild virus will be unable to survive.
When more than one round is planned, a space of one month between doses is essential, except if the vaccine used in the two consecutive rounds is monovalent of the same type. In this case, the period can be much shorter.
Since 2006, supplementary immunization activities have been implemented using either trivalent oral polio vaccine (tOPV), monovalent oral polio vaccine type 1 or 3 (mOPV1 or mOPV3), or bivalent vaccine (1+3). The type of vaccine used depends on the epidemiologic situation.
In areas with limited accessibility the short interval additional dose strategy has been adopted, in which the second dose is given after a shorter period than one month, possibly even as short as one week.

Warren E. Buffett has found another American icon worth buying: H. J. Heinz.
Berkshire Hathaway, the giant conglomerate that Mr. Buffett runs, said on Thursday that it would buy the food giant for about $23 billion, adding Heinz ketchup to its stable of prominent brands.
Mr. Buffett is teaming up with 3G Capital Management, a Brazilian-backed investment firm that owns a majority stake in a company whose business is complementary to Heinz's: Burger King.

- With Heinz Deal, an 'Elephant' for Berkshire
Under the terms of the deal, Berkshire and 3G will pay $72.50 a share, about 20 percent above Heinz's closing price on Wednesday. Including debt, the transaction is valued at $28 billion.
"This is my kind of deal and my kind of partner," Mr. Buffett told CNBC on Thursday. "Heinz is our kind of company with fantastic brands."
In many ways, Heinz fits Mr. Buffett's deal criteria almost to a T. It has broad brand recognition – besides ketchup, it owns Ore-Ida and Lea Perrins Worcestershire sauce – and has performed well. Over the last 12 months, its stock has risen nearly 17 percent.
Mr. Buffett told CNBC that he had a file on Heinz dating back to 1980. But the genesis of Thursday's deal actually lies with 3G, an investment firm backed by several wealthy Brazilian families, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.
One of the firm's principal backers, Jorge Paulo Lemann, brought the idea of buying Heinz to Berkshire about two months ago, this person said. Mr. Buffett agreed, and the two sides approached Heinz's chief executive, William R. Johnson, about buying the company.
"We look forward to partnering with Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital, both greatly respected investors, in what will be an exciting new chapter in the history of Heinz," Mr. Johnson said in a statement.
Berkshire and 3G will each contribute about $4 billion in cash to pay for the deal, with Berkshire also paying $8 billion for preferred shares. The rest of the cost will be covered by debt financing raised by JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo.
Mr. Buffett told CNBC that 3G would be the primary supervisor of Heinz's operations, saying, "Heinz will be 3G's baby."
The food company's headquarters will remain in Pittsburgh, Heinz's home for over 120 years.
Heinz's stock was up nearly 20 percent in morning trading, at $72.51, closely mirroring the offered price. Berkshire's class A stock was also up slightly, rising 0.64 percent to $148,691 a share.
Heinz was advised by Centerview Partners, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and the law firm Davis Polk Wardwell. A transaction committee of the company's board was advised by Moelis Company and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen Katz.
Berkshire's and 3G's lead adviser was Lazard, with JPMorgan and Wells Fargo providing additional advice. Kirkland Ellis provided legal advice to 3G, while Berkshire relied on its usual law firm, Munger, Tolles Olson.

- An Oregon infant's infection was linked to its mother's placenta consumption.
- Tens of thousands of new mothers in the U.S. consume their own placentas for protection against postpartum depression, better breast milk production, and higher energy levels.
- A group of doctors are warning women to avoid placenta consumption.
Trendy among some mothers — ahem, Kim Kardashian — the practice of eating the placenta after giving birth is believed by some to help with postpartum depression, breast milk production, and energy levels. But now, health officials are warning new moms about the potential dangers of taking pills made from their placenta, after an Oregon infant's infection was tied to the practice.
In a report published Thursday, a group of doctors and health officials say the capsules appear to have caused an infant's illness in Portland, Oregon, last fall, when the baby fell ill twice with a strep infection. The first time, investigators believe the mom passed an infection to her child during birth. Later, the mom started taking placenta capsules: Although the most common method is capsules prepared by doulas or midwives, she'd sent her placenta to a company that offers to clean, slice, and dehydrate it, then grind it and put it into gelatin capsules, according to the report. These capsules aren't regulated by the CDC.
The child got sick again weeks later, and health officials think the pills played a role since tests found infectious bacteria in the placenta pills. It's possible the company — which was not identified — failed to heat the placenta enough to kill germs, the authors said.
In perhaps the strongest statement to date by any medical authorities against the practice, according to Sharon Young, a University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) researcher who has studied the practice, report authors said moms should avoid taking placenta pills, noting that the making of placenta capsules is not regulated and there's no guarantee they are free of harmful germs. The researchers include some lab scientists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), although a CDC spokeswoman said the agency hasn't taken a formal position on placenta pills and that the warning was the authors' conclusion.
Most mammal mothers eat placentas after giving birth — camels and humans traditionally were the exceptions. Ground placenta was a treatment in ancient Chinese medicine, though it wasn't standard practice for new mothers, Young said. Moms didn't really start doing it until it popped up as part of a natural birth movement in the late 1960s and 1970s, she said.
Human placenta consumption has taken off in the last decade, touted by some celebrity moms and promoted on the internet. Now tens of thousands of U.S. moms do it, according to a rough estimate by researchers at UNLV.
Young said there isn't good medical evidence yet that placenta consumption is beneficial. One UNLV study found placenta pills were a no better source of iron than dummy pills.
"I've heard physicians say there's no benefit to doing it, that it's pointless. But I can't remember a statement so strongly advising against it, from a physician or anyone," she said.

Yes it is a "trim to fit" part which can be frustrating. I sprayed mine with soapy water before installing, this definitely aided in the ease of slipping it through the manifold. I did this & the Cobb AOS at the same time and would say the AOS install was more involved / difficult than the inlet.. just my 2c.
Cobb has very poor installation instructions. If your trying to install this on the EJ257 engine its really bad especially with the poor instructions on how to route the hose to the PCV. Not worth the trouble buy any other inlet even an eBay inlet is better quality/fit.
Now that it is in and I'm seeing the benefits of the inlet tube I would say its worth it, however I would have been singing another tune if you asked me during install :) Install: So first things first this is a 4/5 wrench on Cobbs site and they really mean it. I was able to find some good videos online of guys doing inlets on other years so I had some tricks up my sleeve. Biggest miss here for me was Cobb does not provide any kind of hosing diagram for this. I had to work with their customer support (which was top tier as always) to ensure I had the hoses correct. Sounds like they are working on some instructions for this install but as the consumer know that as of April 2017 you are going into this blind. Expect a good 4-6 hours if you are decently mechanically inclined. You will need to remove certain parts and you will need to modify the product to fit you specific application. Not too hard but time consuming and frustrating at times. Quality: This meets the level of quality I expect from Cobb and continues to be one of my top reasons I support them and their products. The hose and other included components are great quality as well. Overall: Now that its in and everything is sorted out I am really happy with it. Ill admit having the car down overnight because I couldn't verify correct hose placement was frustrating to me and there are a few points of the install that really take some patience. I would do this again if one of my really good buddies wanted to do it and I am pretty sure we could knock the time down quite a bit with all that I learned. However I wouldn't do this on just a regular budies car if ya know what I mean. If you are decently mechanically inclined I would say go for it but give yourself a day or so to get it done. Hopefully resources are better available soon from Cobb so you don't have to ask them how the hoses go. I wouldn't say be scared of it but I would say respect the 4/5 wrenchs as they really mean it.

Arroyo's debut 'as good as I could have hoped'
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- In trying to make his comeback as a non-roster player in Spring Training, Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo wondered how his body would hold up in game situations, and how his stuff would hold up vs. experienced big league hitters.Arroyo got a positive response to both questions in
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- In trying to make his comeback as a non-roster player in Spring Training, Reds pitcher
Arroyo got a positive response to both questions in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Brewers during his two-scoreless-inning Cactus League debut.
"Today was as good as I could have hoped for, all around, as far as how I felt like I was commanding the ball," said Arroyo, who allowed one hit and struck out two. "I felt strong enough to compete at this level and also not have any pain anywhere. I really couldn't have asked for anything better."
• Spring Training:Information | Tickets | Schedule | Gear
According to scouts, Arroyo's velocity was between 84 mph and 87 mph. In the first inning, leadoff hitter Scooter Gennett scorched a hard single on the ground through the middle but was left stranded.
Between a pair of flyouts in the first, Arroyo struck out
"It was a slow, inside curveball, because he got on that curveball the first time away," Arroyo said. "We tried to pound him in, and he jerked right on it, so we went inside curveball, took a little off and got him out front."
How slow was that breaking ball to Thames? Arroyo didn't know.
"It was as slow as it needs to be," catcher
Arroyo retired the side in order in the second with a groundout, a strikeout and a flyout.
"A bunch of tricks; he's got a lot of stuff up his sleeve whenever he needs it," Mesoraco said. "He keeps doing his thing, same as always."
A key member of the Reds from 2006 to 2013, Arroyo is trying to come back after missing the last two seasons with injuries. Midway through the 2014 season with the D-backs, he needed Tommy John surgery and another procedure to repair his shoulder. Last season, with the Nationals organization, he tore his rotator cuff during Spring Training.
"I've been saying all along that if I'm healthy and throwing the ball over the plate, and can't make this ballclub, I'm not going to pitch anywhere anymore," Arroyo said. "We still have a few really crucial couple of weeks coming up. We'll see what happens."

"I think we have to get further down the road with his health before we put him in the equation, but he is going to be given that opportunity to go out there and win a job on the staff," Price said. "Nothing would warm my heart any more than to be able to add a guy like Bronson to a rotation that is comprised with three young starters to go with [Scott] Feldman and a couple other rookies. We'll see."

Preston By-pass
|Preston Bypass motorway

|Route information
|8.26 mi (13.29 km)
|Opened in 1958
|Major junctions
|South end
|Bamber Bridge
|North end
|Road network
The Preston Bypass was Britain's first motorway. It was designed and engineered by Lancashire County Council surveyor James Drake as part of a larger initiative to create a north-south motorway network that would later form part of the M6 motorway. The bypass was opened on 5 December 1958 by the Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan. Nearly £3 million was spent in its construction. The original 8 1⁄4-mile (13.3 km) motorway ran around the east side of Preston between Bamber Bridge (now the M6, Junction 29) and Broughton (now the M55, Junction 1) and crosses over the River Ribble at Samlesbury at the M6 Junction 31.
Planning started in 1937, despite there being no legal powers that permitted motorway construction until the introduction of the Special Roads Act 1949. Early work was hampered by heavy rainfall, resulting in postponement of various heavy engineering works such as the base foundation; the result of the weather meant the original two-year plan was delayed by a further five months. Weeks after opening, the road had to close temporarily due to water causing further problems, when the base layer was damaged as a result of a rapid freeze and thaw cycle.
The bypass has undergone two separate lane-widening schemes during its existence, first in 1966 when it was widened to three lanes, then in the 1990s to expand it to four lanes in each direction. The latter upgrade was significant enough to require reconstruction of the entire route including all bridges and it is now effectively a different motorway from the one that opened in 1958.
Before the motorway was constructed, the A6 road through Preston handled north-south traffic with tailbacks and congestion a common occurrence, more so during special occasions such as the Blackpool Illuminations. The route had been planned as far back as 1937–1938,[1] with the basic alignment still deemed feasible by the time Lancashire County Council gave approval in the mid 1940s. Chief engineer Drake was part of a delegation from Lancashire that travelled to Germany in 1938 in order that a plan could be drawn up by the council. The agreed route formed part of the County Surveyors' Society's national proposals and was protected by Lancashire County Council from any future developments.[2] During planning, the legal powers necessary for motorway construction did not exist, until the introduction of the Special Roads Act in 1949 that made it lawful to construct roads that were to be used only by certain classes of vehicle.[3] The bypass was seen as an experiment for future motorway construction, with many lessons and techniques being learnt that would contribute to the success of future projects. When the proposals were made public, including a large-scale model to ease the explaining of the scheme, only a handful of formal objections were raised and were resolved by agreement without the need to initiate a public inquiry, cited in part because of close personal involvement of Lancashire County Council and the surveyor during consultation.[4]
The Tarmac Group (now Carillion) won the construction bid in 1956, including 19 bridges; John Cox was the onsite engineer assigned by the contractor to oversee the construction.[5]
The road was originally built with two lanes in each direction, but with an unusually wide central reservation to accommodate a third lane to be added each way at a later date. The work was a compromise between the Ministry of Transport and Drake, the latter thinking that two lanes would not be adequate. Initially, the shoulders were hardened with gravel but not paved,[6] a fact still reflected in the British term hard shoulder. A hedge was planted along the length of the central reservation to help reduce dazzle from the headlights of oncoming traffic at night. The road was constructed not to be a long stretch of straight road and with the addition of various bridges and tree planting, in the hope to prevent driver boredom reported on foreign motorways.[3]
The earth material used for the embankments was planned to come from the road foundation works, but rainfall meant it was no longer fit for purpose and had to be imported instead. In total, 3,400,000 tonnes (3,300,000 long tons; 3,700,000 short tons) of earth was excavated, with a further 668,000 tonnes (657,000 long tons; 736,000 short tons) of material imported for filling.[3] The sub-base consisted of burnt red shale with thickness dependent upon the ground conditions, followed by a layer of wet mix around 9 inches (23 cm) thick and topped with 2–3 inches (approximately 6.4 cm) of tarmac lined with 0.5-1 inches (approximately 1.9 cm) of asphalt. A total of 22 bridges were required in construction, and designers were given relative freedom in planning them. Chief engineer Drake proposed the bridges be painted different colours to enhance aesthetics and help alleviate driver boredom, contrary to conventional practice of using neutral colours; drivers subsequently reacted favourably to alternately coloured bridges.[4]
The contracted period for construction was planned to be around two years, but the timescale was lengthened by nearly 25% due to rainfall that persisted throughout much of the early construction period. The heavy rainfall in late 1956 had profound effects on the heavy engineering works required to construct the road foundation, resulting in this aspect of work being postponed until early 1957; an extension of five months was granted due to the extraordinary and unforeseen weather conditions.[3] Numerous lessons were learnt from the construction of Britain's first motorway, particularly towards using an appropriately screened base material, with water drainage systems that should be appropriate and fit for purposes, as well as the inclusion of continuous hard shoulders.[4]
The bypass was opened on 5 December 1958 by the Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan. It had cost £2,960,481 (equivalent to £67,937,321 in 2018), of which almost £2.5m was for construction of the motorway itself and over £500,000 was for the construction of two required major bridges, those being the Samlesbury Bridge (£334,431) and the High Walton Bridge (£193,690) respectively.[3] Macmillan became the first man in Britain to travel on a motorway, as a passenger in an Austin Sheerline limousine, setting off from what is now junction 31 on the M6 motorway.[7] Many hundreds of people gathered at the interchange in Samlesbury to witness the official opening, of whom many had participated in the construction and were proud of what they had achieved.[5]
The motorway was designed to be capable of handling vehicles at speeds of 70 mph (110 km/h),[4] a limit which is unchanged to this day; no speed limit was enforced for the first few years. Lancashire Police estimated that 2,300 cars were using the road each day within the first month of opening, which was considerably less than the road's capacity.[8] During the early period of operation, drivers reported being apprehensive about using the motorway through fear of faster drivers overtaking them, with average speeds recorded as being around 38 mph (61 km/h),[9] despite police records for the month ending 23 May 1959 showing no vehicle being driven faster than 75 mph (121 km/h).[10] Shortly after opening, the motorway saw its first two minor incidents; each was as a result of inexperienced drivers (in one case, an underage driver) being unfamiliar with motorway driving and losing control of their vehicles.[11]
On 21 January 1959, just 46 days after opening,[5] the motorway had to close temporarily to undergo emergency resurfacing work, as water had drained into the hard shoulder and seeped into the base layer. This subsequently suffered as a result of frost weathering, resulting in crumbling road parts[6] affecting approximately 1% of the surface.[12] The cost of repairs was around £5,000 (equivalent to £110,000 in 2018),[13] as quoted by then-Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation Harold Watkinson; additional drainage systems were also installed alongside the carriageway at a cost of £90,000[14] (equivalent to £2,100,000 in 2018).[13]
An additional third lane was added in each direction in 1966 using the land reserved within the central reservation, without the need to modify existing bridges. Despite the relative ease in this work, the lack of hard shoulders at the bridges meant the number of available lanes during engineering works was inadequate to cope with the traffic volumes of the time, estimated to be have been in the region of 140,000 vehicles daily.[4] Construction of the M61 motorway in 1969–1970 to carry Manchester traffic northbound had its northern terminus connect to a new junction on the bypass at Bamber Bridge, requiring the construction of Blacow Bridge to carry the north-bound M61 traffic over the M6.[15]
The bypass underwent significant work during the early 1990s, when it was completely rebuilt to become four lanes in each direction. All of the bridges needed removing so a hard shoulder could be provided, despite most of them having a design lifespan of 120 years.[5] The bid to undertake the work was awarded to Balfour Beatty in February 1993, at a cost of £37,458,986[16] (equivalent to £74,948,000 in 2018).[13] The upgrade meant that the bypass was entirely reconstructed and is now effectively a different motorway to the original bypass.[17] The four-lane motorway had been initially proposed back in 1924, when the idea was quickly dismissed after pressure mounted from railway lobbyists.[18]
Despite the motorway passing through industrial areas, the proposed route alignment meant that property demolition was kept to a minimum, with just a single farmhouse and three dwellings requiring demolition. The route was constructed through four separate localities, including 1.65 mi (2.66 km) through the County Borough of Preston, 2.54 mi (4.09 km) through the Urban District of Walton-le-Dale, 1.77 mi (2.85 km) through the Urban District of Fulwood and 2.30 mi (3.70 km) through the Rural District of Preston.[3]
Initially, there were a total of 22 bridges built under or over the motorway, such as a principal bridge at Samlesbury which carried traffic over the River Ribble and the A59 trunk road, the only junction upon opening; the other principal bridge was at Higher Walton, carrying traffic over the River Darwen and the A675 road. The overall width of the motorway was 112 ft (34 m), 24 ft (7.3 m) for each carriageway, 14 ft (4.3 m) for the verges and a 32 ft (9.8 m) central reservation.[3]
The routes around the city of Preston, including the bypass as part of the modern day M6 motorway, are recognised as being some of the most congested in the UK, with traffic to and from Preston being labelled amongst the country's top 25 most congested routes.[19]

A video that claims to show Iranian President Ahmadinejad and Iranian clerics planning to eliminate Iranian democracy has surfaced online.
The video is Farsi, so it's difficult to be 100% sure of its contents, however Iranian Twitter users claim that it shows Ahmadinejad discussing changing the Islamic republic system in Iran at the moment to a dictatorship.
The following translation via HotAir, and video below. If the translation is accurate, its content could be explosive, and may help Iranian protesters gain further support within Iran itself.
Apparently Mesbah Yazdi has spoken and it is Ahmadinejad's turn to speak.
He thanks the audience with common Arabic courtesies:
Ahmadinejad humbly requests that special attention be paid to what he is to say which is about staring pure Islamic rule, not only in Iran but all over the world. He said we had a set back because we were not doing our Islamic duty to pressure people be more enlightened with Mohammadan Islam.
Islamic rule should not and cannot be limited only to Iran. Our efforts to expand it throughout the world are soon to be materialized with the help from God.
Struggle against corruption is of course enjoyable, but the ultimate joy will be the time when we realize the final heart-desired aim. We are always at work to realize that ultimate objective. I believe that revolution is beginning to find its way and a renewed evolution is taking place in it.
The revolution was hard and, began with difficulty, and the road ahead is even harder and more difficult. But this difficult road is exactly what to be expected.
There is enormous energy which has started within the country and is serving the country and is expanding, but needs guidance and supervision/management.
All the things that we have planned and talked about, is becoming a reality.
This plan needs strong ideological and operational support from you. The best place to start it is right here and in front of you. Who have the foresight, passion, experience and fortitude to ensure that it takes shape and becomes a reality.
I think timing is right, all necessary arrangements have been made. I seek your support and help. I am almost nobody compared to you in this struggle, in this grand movement. This is a blessing and is the beginning of a grand evolution in the world. I think this can become a reality. And building Iran as an example for others to follow and be a witness to on the road to realize the grand Islam.
It is possible to accomplish this, otherwise I would not be here sitting with you. Tehran is ready; the university is working on implementing it. Everything is taken care of in Tehran; we need your endorsement and approval.

A visit to Micanopy is a step back in time. Located away from any of Florida's major tourist destinations, it's a delightful escape from the crowds. Actually, you may already be familiar with this little town. A Micanopy home played a central role in the movie, Doc Hollywood. Located between Gainesville and Ocala, Micanopy is the first truly American town settled in territorial Florida's interior. It was also home to one of my Henry ancestors in those pioneer days before the Civil War.
The earliest known graves date back to 1826. The Micanopy Cemetery Association has managed it since 1905. Although there are still vacant plots available in the cemetery, new burials are limited to Micanopy residents.
Today, over at The Dirt on Public Archaeology blog, they are spotlighting the Gravelly Hill cemetery in Duval County as part of their cemetery-a-day series throughout the month of May. One of the interesting things about this cemetery is that it is the final resting place of the longest-living Confederate veteran. At his death in 1949, James E. Monroe was 133 years, 11 months, 24 days old. The next closest veteran was Sylvester M. Magee from Mississippi who was 130 years, four months and 17 days at his death in 1971. Want the details? Stop by The Dirt and visit this and all the other historic cemeteries being spotlighted there.
Cedar Key is located just south of the mouth of the Suwanee River in the Big Bend area of Florida's Gulf Coast. It's a delightful get-away destination for those who want to enjoy Florida's natural beauty and an active artists colony. We've spent the last couple of days lounging on the back porch at the Cedar Key Bed & Breakfast when we weren't browsing the shops or exploring the state parks and other sights along the lower Suwanee River.
Yesterday we enjoyed a cruise in the waters surrounding the town including the rookery at Seahorse Key and a stop at Atsena Otie. This island was the original Cedar Key and was a bustling center for milling lumber products to be shipped off to parts north. That began to decline in the late 19th century as more railroads moved further and further down the Florida peninsula. The last straw was a devestating hurricane in 1896 that destroyed almost everything on the island. From then on, the town of Cedar Key has been located at its current location closer to the mainland.
Today, when you visit Atsena Otie, you will be greeted by swarms of mosquitos as you walk the sandy paths across the island. Ruined foundations of once-busy sawmills are crumbling on the beach. But, back in the hammock is the surprisingly-well preserved remains of the old cemetery.
There are a few burials dating after 1896 – for relatives of those already buried here – but most are from the boom days before the hurricane. These pictures tell the story better than I can.
On higher ground just west of Fort King George in Darien, Georgia, you'll find 15 gravestones and one large monument. This marks the spot of one of the oldest British cemeteries in the southeastern United States. There are 65 graves here. Each of the gravestones has the same inscription:
This large monument and the 15 gravestones were erected by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Division of State Parks, Historic Sites and Monuments. The monument bears the following inscription:
Visit the Georgia State Parks site for Fort King George to learn more about this fascinating place.
When the Diocese of St. Augustine was established in 1870, Tolomato Cemetery was serving the local Catholic community. The City of St. Augustine ordered Tolomato and the public burying ground (Huguenot) closed in 1884. Catholic burials were then held at the Mission of Nombre de Dios. Because its location on the water was not ideal for a permanent cemetery, the diocese continued to look for a more appropriate cemetery location.
Also at this time St. Augustine was enjoying a boom in tourism thanks to Henry Flagler's railroad and elegant hotels. City fathers wanted the new cemeteries away from the primary tourist areas. Evergreen Cemetery, the new public graveyard, was located across the San Sebastian River in what was then called New Augustine (now West Augustine). The diocese also chose a spot west of town, but further to the south. San Lorenzo Cemetery opened in 1892 and is the oldest cemetery still operated by the Diocese. It continues to accept burials today.
A mortuary chapel was built in 1924. It is often called the Bishops House because Archbishop Josephy Hurley and Bishops John Moore, William Kenny and Patrick Barry are interred there. Surrounding the chapel are the graves of nuns from the Sisters of St. Joseph and priests who have served the diocese.
The cemetery is operated by the diocesan Office of Catholic Cemeteries and is located between U.S. 1 and Old Moultrie Road just north of the K-Mart shopping plaza (see cemetery map).

After Lewis Hamilton almost absent out on the appellation in Austin, Texas, we booty a attending at some of the added talking credibility that emerged from the U.S. Grand Prix. Our console of journalists this anniversary consists of Nate Saunders, Maurice Hamilton, Kate Walker and Laurence Edmondson.
Image Source: ytimg.com
Saunders: Raikkonen has been assuming able-bodied this year, but if one of them had to accomplish way for Charles Leclerc, it has to be him. A added absorbing catechism is whether Vettel will handle the burden of Leclerc abutting season.
Hamilton: I anticipate it's accessible to ask that catechism on the abject of what we saw on Sunday. If alone Kimi could do that every time. He's the absolute No. 2. Accustomed the choice, I don't anticipate he could be agitated arch the aggregation if he had Leclerc as a teammate. At 39, activity on 40, Kimi is not the approaching for Ferrari. Alike acceptance for Vettel's accretion cardinal of mistakes beneath pressure, he's their best bet — for now.
Walker: I don't apperceive if they're replacing the amiss disciplinarian — I anticipate Kimi has had his ample of activity as a Ferrari disciplinarian and is attractive advanced to the Sauber adventitious to appear — but I do anticipate that Seb is not proving himself aces of his massive bacon this season. If teams pay their drivers win bonuses, why can't they tax them for accusation up? In agreement of absent championship credibility and car repairs, Sebastian Vettel has been a $30 actor man in accession to his salary. Seems fair that Ferrari should be able to affirmation a bit of that back, or accommodate a lower accord for abutting year.
Edmondson: I don't anticipate befitting Raikkonen would be the band-aid to Ferrari's problems — one attending at the drivers' championship will acquaint you that — but conceivably they are regretting such a continued arrangement with Vettel. Aback you accede that Daniel Ricciardo, Max Verstappen and alike Fernando Alonso would all jump at the adventitious to be the No.1 disciplinarian at the Scuderia, Vettel's accepted anatomy looks alike worse.
Saunders: It was absorbing for the ability and accord he showed. It's additionally the aboriginal time in a while I can bethink him activity caster to caster with a battling and not advancing to assault with them — although Lewis Hamilton was in a alert mindset. I'd say it's the best we've apparent of him save for his two victories in 2017.
Hamilton: This is the affair about Max: One anniversary we're debating his adequately adamant approach and analytic his impetuousness, the abutting we're accurately heaping acclaim on the array of absorbing and complete drive we saw on Sunday. It ranks up there as one of the best of many. But who knows what abutting anniversary will authority aback it comes to Max? The point is, he's agitative and account watching.
Walker: It was a acceptable drive, and one that shows that Max is acquirements to be hardly added anxious on clue while still carrying the array of assurance to the bank antagonism that's agitative to watch. Max is growing up, and he's honing his style, adorning it, rather than alteration it. It's acceptable to see.
Edmondson: Verstappen's chase on Sunday and his Singapore condoning lap are two of the standout performances for me this year. You can't avoid his mistakes beforehand in the season, but appropriate now he is appropriate at the top of his game.
Saunders: I acclaim the admiral for bendability on this aphorism beyond the year, but it seems like some accepted faculty could be activated to it. Vettel's red banderole was due to alluvium actuality on the clue rather than a car or align actuality in a alarming spot.
Hamilton: I can't animadversion on the adequacy of the red banderole minimum lap time because alone the drivers and teams apperceive how astute that is. But it is what it is and needs to be adhered to, decidedly beneath such potentially austere circumstances. Added than a dozen drivers out at the aforementioned time managed it.
Walker: Nope. Red banderole rules are there for a reason, and they charge to be respected. I additionally heard belief over the weekend that Seb had advisedly burst the rules so that he'd accept an alibi for not demography the action to Lewis during what anybody accepted to be the championship weekend. Obviously things played out rather differently, but it was an absorbing theory.
Edmondson: Although three drivers accept been bent by the rule, a accomplished agglomeration added accept been able to attach to it. Conceivably some of the teams aloof charge bigger admonishing systems on the dashboard to ensure the disciplinarian is actually bright what the ambition time is.
Saunders: It's accepting rather annoying now. I account Alonso for his aptitude on the chase clue but won't be sad to see the aback of him.
Hamilton: Alonso is accomplishing himself no favours with his beck of complaints — no amount how justified they may or may not be. At this date in the sad end to his F1 career, the comments appear beyond as the whingeing of a balked and absinthian man. By all agency go for it aback you're starting from the aback with annihilation to lose; but, with added than 300 Grands Prix experience, he care to be acquainted this array of affair can appear on the aboriginal lap.
Walker: Now that Alonso has arrested out of F1 he's not absolutely actuality the best Fernando Alonso he could be. It's barefaced — he has basically spent the accomplished decade actuality added balked by the affection of the accouterment he has been given, he has lashed out at every aggregation that has assassin him, and he doesn't feel he has had the career rewards his ample aptitude deserves. It charge be abundantly frustrating. But Nando is authoritative abiding he leaves F1 with anybody alive how atramentous it is and how it was absolutely debris and he didn't appetite it anyway. The artisan aforetime accepted as Teflonso is now article of a bad-tempered brat.
Edmondson: I've heard drivers use worse words to call their competitors in incidents that are beneath atramentous and white. Watch the onboard video from Lance Stroll's car and it looks amateurish to say the least. The admiral agreed, adage Stroll was "fully to accusation for the incident" and giving him a drive-through penalty. I anticipate Alonso was advantaged to baste out and use the accent he did.
Saunders: These rules abide for a reason, of course, but how can F1 address to a added accidental fan abject aback two drivers can be kicked out of one chase for accessory ammunition infractions. It's the third abstruse awkwardness of the year and a adamantine affair to explain to the admirers F1 is aggravating to reach. There charge be some way to abridge things for 2021.
Hamilton: Whatever the rights and wrongs of this accurate aphorism — and it wasn't accustomed aloof for the hell of it — the amends comes beyond badly. Fans, decidedly accidental assemblage who accept enjoyed watching a disciplinarian chase adamantine for an hour and a half, acquisition it difficult to get their arch about the aforementioned disciplinarian accepting kicked out because he acclimated too abundant fuel. It sounds absurd to the believer and is one of the abounding things that charge to be addressed for 2021 — if not sooner.
Walker: No, it's allotment and bindle of the sport. It's awe-inspiring that the cars were afflicted for alone genitalia of a lap, and it's alike weirder that afterwards a actor contest afterwards ammunition breeze issues we accept two appear forth at once, but motor antagonism is a abstruse action and abstruse infringements are as important to adviser as antic ones. If any of the drivers don't appetite to accomplish beneath F1 regulations they're all chargeless to do a Nando and acquisition accession category, aperture up seats for the abutting bearing of talent.
Edmondson: Magnussen was told by his architect over and over afresh to save fuel, so it's not like Haas aloof bumbled into this one. All the teams apperceive the rules and all the teams apperceive absolutely how abundant ammunition they accept used. Yes, it's not ideal to accept drivers butterfingers afterwards the chase for application 0.1kg added ammunition than they were allowed, but if you alpha giving the teams an inch they will booty a mile. And don't anticipate that accretion the ammunition absolute will in 2021 will change things — teams will consistently attending to advance to the absolute and, actual occasionally, they will get it wrong.

The day before we left Ireland, a local man stopped by. He'd seen the van parked on the drive, found out what we were up to and wanted to come over to wish us luck. Rather amazingly he brought us some gifts; a travel iron, solar shower, hydraulic jack, washing line, emergency triangle and some hymer curtain hooks. Nice man. He had travelled across Europe himself in an identical Hymer several years ago and told us a few stories of his adventures. One in particular stuck with us…
He was driving along a bad road one night in a storm, keen to get to his next location as soon as possible, when a lorry overtook him and a "brick" flew up from the road, hit the windscreen and completely shattered the glass. He pulled over, a bit shaken and bloodied and phoned the police. Long story short, the insurance company were unable to find a replacement windscreen and the van was written off, thus ending his adventures across Europe in a Hymer. He gifted the van to the Hymer Museum in Germany where it remains today.
Since hearing this cautionary tale we have made a continuous conscious effort to give all other vehicles a wide berth, which isn't always easy when there are so many cars on the road -a massive increase I'm guessing, since I last owned a car in 2008.
(Deep breaths)
Yesterday, some total f*cking prick in a devil red jeep cut us up on the M1 and just as we were shouting "priiiiiiiiick!" (as you do) our eyes were drawn to a stone flying up from beneath his piece-of-shit wheels. Our mouths gaped in a silent scream as the stone bounced off our beautiful big windscreen leaving behind a very small but very visible chip. Within ten seconds the small chip became a small crack. We watched in something close to horror as the crack spread across the screen, neither of us able to form words.
We've taken refuge at Rodney's brother's house in Sheffield and are waiting for the insurance company to phone us back. They're Yorkshire-based so are perhaps a little busy drinking tea with our old blowy-air motor friend. We're drinking something a little stronger.
