Duckworth Square
Board Offline
Duckworth Square is now closed.
It ran from January 2004 to January 2009 as a web forum intended to be "an independent inclusive co-operative aimed at promoting the music scene in Derby through love, peace, harmony and marmalade."
After five years of trying to do just that, the time seemed right to close the chapter.
We'd like to thank everyone who took part and we'd like think that the vast majority of users got some benefit from the forum while it existed, whether that be through a friendship made, a guitar bought/sold, a gig they attended or promoted or just pure comedy value from laughing at some of the stuff people came out with on here.
It's been a fun five years and the daft thing is that we are still, as of yesterday, getting new users signing up, just not as many as we did in the first couple of years. It's harder to get involved with a forum once it's been around a while and sometimes the "regulars" aren't as welcoming as they could be. Add to that the explosion of social networking sites like Facebook where people can build a network of friends and promote their wares without having to venture into the outer regions of the web where (gasp) not everyone is neccessarily a fan of your band. It's fair to say that things have run their course here.
Hopefully someone else will take the time and money (yes..sadly this was free for everyone except moi, the bloke who paid the hosting fees) to set up a nice, shiny new forum with a lovely interface and no Google adverts all over it and we can all try again. I've actually got better things to do with my life these days. Hooray for me. I look forward to not being in charge any more.

I like the letter M best because it starts my name. I like the rainbow for letter R, too. I didn't like the quilt for letter Q. You cannot buy a quilt. You have to make them. I would like to be one of the people in the story making the letters.
This was a very easy book to read the words for each letter. My little brother would like to read this because he is learning the letters of the alphabet. If you are learning to read and want to learn the alphabet also, read this book.

No basketball coach ever stepped into a pressure cooker with the heat that Gene Bartow did when he replaced John Wooden at UCLA.
Okay, my buddy Joe B. Hall thinks that he inherited more pressure than Bartow when he replaced Adolph Rupp. No one can say that Joe B. didn't step into a caldron.
Let's just leave it at that and talk about Bartow, who died Jan. 3 at his home in Birmingham. He was 81. The cause of death was stomach cancer.
I got to know Bartow in extraordinary circumstances. It was at Munich, Germany, during the ill-fated 1972 Olympics when Arab terrorists killed several Israeli athletes.
Gene was there to coach the Puerto Rican team, whose star was Murray State's Hector Blondett. I asked Bartow what he was going to do when Blondett refused to go the other end and play defense as he sometimes did when Cal Luther coached him at Murray.
Bartow just rolled his eyes and changed the subject.
A Munich cab
A few days later, I had arranged to get a cab outside the little basketball gym when the last game was played. Bartow, his wife Ruth and one of his little sons, Murry, who is all grown up now and is head coach at East Tennessee State, piled into my cab and headed for the Olympic compound. Because of that, we became friends. Each time he brought his Memphis State team to Louisville we managed to renew our friendship.
He was one outstanding human being.
And believe it or not, but he was in line to become the head coach in 1985 at Kentucky, but decided during a visit that he had had enough pressure.
His two-year record at UCLA was 52-9, but he switched to Alabama-Birminghan to be head coach and director of athletics.
His career record was 647-353 and he took 12 teams to the NCAA tournament.
UK Stars Of Stars
Until recent years it really meant something special when a University of Kentucky basketball player reached the 1,000-point club. Senior Darius Miller (yes, there IS a senior on the Wildcats' roster who gets to play)may be the last to reach the club as long as John (one and done) Calipari runs the show.
Dan Issel, who played just three varsity years, leads the honor roll with 2,138. Freshmen weren't eligible to play on the varsity when Issel was at UK. Several others played just two or three years.

UofL, UK: Play!
On the same day that Gov. Steve Beshear warned about severe budget cuts, a Louisville lawmaker filed legislation that will solve ALL of Kentucky's problems. The man who rode in on a white horse, State Sen. Tim Shaughnessy, wants to make sure that UK and U of L continue to play each other in football and men's basketball.
Right there he got off on the wrong track; how about women's basketball? Isn't that rivalry worth saving? If not, I am certain that female voters in the senator's district will let him know what they think. Or maybe no women reside in the senator's district.

The Good: Pretty forgiving clubs, you won't duff too many with these.
The Bad: The balls don't go as far or as accurate as the old Berthas.
Overall: Taken as a whole, these are not bad clubs. In fact, they are of course quite good. But I don't think they measure up to the standard Callaway has set for itself, and I went out of my way to find an old warbird for my utility wood. I could not be happier with that find.

Contrary to concerns that the human papillomavirus vaccine might promote promiscuity, a national survey of girls and young women found that the majority of respondents did not believe the HPV vaccine protected them against other sexually transmitted infections.
The study, conducted by University of Illinois at Chicago and University of Chicago researchers, appears online and in the November issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health.
The findings are reassuring in that girls and young women did not think that the vaccine provided benefits beyond protecting them from HPV, said Dr. Rachel Caskey, assistant professor of pediatrics and general internal medicine at UIC and lead author of the study. "We also found that they did not think that they could stop cervical cancer screening, or pap smears, which is critical."
Researchers used a national sample, representative of the U.S. population, to conduct an online survey of more than 1,000 females ages 13 to 26.
The data provide some of the first nationally representative estimates of both adolescents' and young women's adoption of the HPV vaccine, barriers to vaccination, and sources of information about HPV and the HPV vaccine, according to the researchers.
Knowledge about the HPV virus itself ran the gamut, said Caskey. Some people knew absolutely nothing and a few people were moderately informed. Knowledge about the HPV vaccine, however, was better.
"Messages about the vaccine are getting across, though they are not including messages about the virus itself," said Caskey.
The HPV vaccine is likely to provide the greatest benefit to those who receive it prior to HPV exposure, but nearly 30 percent of the unvaccinated girls reported not getting the vaccine because they were not currently sexually active.
The study found that the respondents' primary source of information about the HPV vaccine was advertisements for the vaccine, marketed as Gardasil (61 percent), healthcare providers (35 percent) and family members (31 percent).
It is probably ideal when family and doctors can be the primary providers of information, said Caskey, but that is not realistic today due to the influence of the media.
"Many girls are realizing, 'this is a vaccine I should get, it prevents cervical cancer, it doesn't protect me from other things, but I don't really know much about the virus,'" said Caskey.
The researchers also found that cost was not a barrier for many participants, particularly younger girls.
When asked about other participatory guidance topics, such as sex, alcohol, and drugs, less than half of the participants said their doctor ever talked to them about these issues.
Arguably, said Caskey, these issues should be the main topic of conversation during a regular visit to a healthcare provider for girls and young women.
Consistent with other studies about vaccine adoption, the researchers found that 30 percent of 13- to 17-year-olds and 9 percent of 18- to 26-year-olds reported receiving at least one HPV injection.
Co-authors are Dr. Stacy Tessler Lindau and Dr. G. Caleb Alexander at the University of Chicago.
UIC ranks among the nation's top 50 universities in federal research funding and is Chicago's largest university with 25,000 students, 12,000 faculty and staff, 15 colleges and the state's major public medical center.

I am convinced that climate change will present society with the greatest challenge humanity has yet faced or may ever face. By "society", I mean todays' society, not tomorrows. Yes, this means us.
I have come to this conclusion after studying this topic with as much objectively and open mindness as I could muster for over 3 years. I've read just about every climate related book, scientific report and website that I could find ... and this includes sources that are skeptical. The opposing arguments all fail. They are no different than Christian Apolgetics.
Climate change is real, is happening faster than expected, and is going to be very painful, if not fatal to mankind. When? who knows, but does it really matter?
Disagree? I really don't care. Take your claim to the IPCC and NOAA and try to convince them that they are wrong about the most studied and well understood scientific topic in the history of science. I wish you well and I hope you are successful in turning over the consensus accepted theory of man caused climate change.
So, this brings me to the moral dilema that keeps me up at night.
Now what?
Do I keep living my conventional life with my wife, 2 teenagers and a dog?
Do I keep driving around here and there in my fancy car, living in my much too large air conditioned house, flying to exotic vacation destinations (while I'm not in the top 1% of earners, I can see them from here) and working for a company that doesn't do squat to limit CO2 emissions, or even to monitor them?
Do I have a responsibility to my children and to society to do what I can leave them with a climate that gives them a chance at living a decent life?
This isn't about changing lightbulbs to CFLs and buying a Prius. It's about changing my life in just about every conceiveable way and attempting to get others to do the same.
Having come to the conclusion that I have, do I have a choice other than to do everything I can to limit the damage?
Do you have the same obligation?
Views: 267
Thanks Andrea, I agree with your points, but let me ask you this:
What obligation do I have to try to convince others of the predicament that science has told us that we are in? Wouldn't this make me almost like an evangelical christian - trying to show others "my truth" in order to save them from a hell on earth (although in this case it's a real hell, not a mythical one)?
The point is that the evangelicals really think they are saving us with their message. I think I"m trying to save people with my message. If I tried to spread "my message" how would I be any different than them?
Is this ultimate battle of science vs religion?
Larry, I have one question for you: Is this an issue of ability or will? More specifically, are we capable of forcing a stabilization of the climate with our existing resources and technology, but simply lack the conviction to do so?
If a unified will is the only problem here, then you can gather people together to push for a solution that will guarantee future growth and prosperity for our societies. But if we lack the ability to enact a solution, then your efforts could only lead to the restriction and deconstruction of our modern society with nothing to replace it.
So I would say that as long as you campaign for a progression of society, either with a unified will for a new solution or the tolerance of our current flaws until we can learn enough to make a new solution, then you have ethical justification and (potentially) a moral obligation.
But if your campaigning is for a regression of society, either by restricting the new solution to only some peoples or by undercutting our ability to research new solutions, then you would be unethical in your campaigning. So it returns to the initial question, do we need to find the conviction for progression, or would the momentum for change instead turn toward a regression for lack of viable options?
I think the same thing every day as I drive to work....
I do want to change my lifestyle but find it very hard to do so. It can be discouraging because like the Nerd says, we aren't lone wolves. Regarding Drake's comment, what alternative are we offering?
This American Life did a good segment on this last weekend. It is clear that unless we educate people better, things are going to go downhill no matter what we do as individuals. Maybe education would be a place to start making progress.
Act Two. Climate Changes. People Don't.As adults battle over how climate change should be taught in school, we try an experiment. We ask Dr Roberta Johnson, the Executive Director of the National Earth Science Teachers Association, who helps develop curricula on climate change, to present the best evidence there is to a high school skeptic, a freshman named Erin Gustafson. Our question: Will Erin find any of it convincing? (14 minutes)
The kid was alright, she didn't sound like an entirely lost cause. (Would be interesting to do an interview with her in 3 years.) It's not her fault but it is disappointing how science is being eroded. Teaching both sides of the "debate" like evolution, as if there was a scientific debate about the core concept of either one?
re changing one's lifestyle, yes, it is very difficult, and made even more when a family is involved. I feel quite trapped in my conventional life. It's not that I don't enjoy it, as I do, but when I think of the implications of my lifestyle - all of our lifestyles, it pains me deeply.
re "keep preaching the truth!!!"
Ironic isn't it? Here we are "preaching the truth" of science to save people from the "hell" of climate change.
Sounds kind of familiar doesn't it?

Teddy Bridgewater may have been on to something when he said Louisville would "take in and welcome" former Auburn and Arkansas State running back Michael Dyer.
Though Cardinals coach Charlie Strong said during AAC Media Day that Dyer was not part of the program, a report from George Schroeder of USA Today indicates that could change soon.
Citing Dyer's mentor, Arkansas Baptist president Fitz Hill, Schroeder reports that the running back will enroll at the school and report for camp next week. According to a previous report from the Louisville Courier-Journal, "[a]n official with U of L's registrar office confirmed that the university added Dyer to its system… which is often an indication a prospective student plans to apply for enrollment."
Louisville has not commented on the report — Dyer issued a statement this morning confirming it, however — and likely won't until Dyer is officially enrolled.
If/when that happens, Dyer apparently won't be doing it on his own dime. Schroeder's report says that Dyer was offered a scholarship to play for the Cardinals, which he accepted. Dyer had previously expressed interest in transferring to Arkansas, and went so far as to say he'd be willing to walk on and pay his own way.
That, by Dyer's own admission, was a result of the off-the-field baggage he's been carrying around for the past couple of years.
"I understand the reasons I am in this situation. I placed myself here. I take responsibility," Dyer said in a recent interview with ESPN. "But I'm not the same person I was. I've changed. I've grown up."
That's something Hill corroborated in an interview with the USA Today.
"Based on what he has done at Arkansas Baptist College, I don't have one negative," Hill said. "I can't talk about (what happened at) Auburn or Arkansas State, but I can talk about Arkansas Baptist College. It's been all positive."
Whether or not that's true remains to be seen, but there's little doubt the Cardinals would be getting a great talent in the backfield that could provide yet another boost for a team with possible BCS championship hopes.
In January of 2011 as a freshman, Dyer was named the offensive MVP of Auburn's BCS title game win. After rushing for 1,000 yards each of his first two seasons with the Tigers, Dyer was granted a release from his scholarship in January of 2012, one month after he was suspended for the Tigers' appearance in the Chick-fil-A Bowl for failing multiple drug tests. He transferred to Arkansas State that same month in a reunion with former AU offensive coordinator and then-ASU head coach Gus Malzahn; six months later, he was dismissed by Malzahn for "undisclosed violations of team rules."
In August of 2012, Dyer landed at Arkansas Baptist, where he sat out the football season to focus on academics. Because Dyer completed his associate's degree, he would be cleared to play immediately and have two years of eligibility remaining should he choose to utilize them both.

Start looking for Venus and Mars
The recent Hunter's Moon still dominates the night sky when it rises after sunset Thursday, with the piercing light of Jupiter to the moon's right. While the waning moon rises later through the week, Jupiter rises earlier until reaching opposition October 28. At that point, the gaseous giant will be directly opposite the sun, rising in our east at sunset, shining at the sky's apex around midnight and setting in the west at sunrise. There should be no mistaking Jupiter, as it's brighter than any other star or planet. Well, almost any.
In the wake of sunset, now before 6:30, Venus blazes briefly above the west-southwest horizon. As it returns to evening skies, our sister planet continues this game of hide-and-seek amid twilight's glow for another six weeks. But by late November, it will quickly gain ground and command the heavens as the evening star through winter. In the meantime, you'll need clear skies and an unimpeded view. Binoculars will help.
Those binoculars will come in handy over the weekend, when the now noticeably waning gibbous moon hovers a half-dozen degrees from the the Pleiades star cluster, to its right Friday and below it Saturday. To the unaided eye, this cluster looks at best like a smudge of light. But magnified, the Pleiades reveals far more stars than the seven sisters of Greek myth.
The last-quarter moon rises at midnight, the dividing line between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning with the Gemini twins Pollux and Castor a little more than a dozen degrees overhead.
Mars rises before 2am, about 90 minutes after the moon Thursday morning, and is high in the east by dawn. While the ruddy planet is no brighter than the average star now, in coming months it climbs the horizon, rising earlier through winter and in the process growing almost 10 times brighter.

Local volunteers work to keep trails safe.
A group called trail trekkers held their first meeting of the year at city hall in Fayetteville. Trail runner Halley Bird said trail trekkers give her a sense of security.
"They definitely make me feel safe it's getting hotter and people run more in the evening and its dark so you never know so it's nice to feel safe while running," said Bird.
That feeling of safety is one of the Fayetteville trail trekkers mission statements. Fayetteville parks and recreation department said the program is designed to not only watch what's happening on the trail, but to help walkers.
Volunteers supply people with maps, first aid, even bicycle repairs. Bird said the group brings more people to the trail. "I would definitely encourage people to volunteer for trail trekkers to attract runners, "said Bird.
The trekkers also work closely with emergency responders. Bird said there's a change she'd like to see."I would like to see more of the emergency telephones around like they do on campus," said Bird
Trail trekkers don't have set scheduled times to watch the trails. It's all done on a volunteer basis. To learn more about trail trekkers, contact the Fayetteville parks and recreation department.

The stars of a Broadway show get the credit. But the people
working in the wings deserve a chunk of the praise. So this week we're pulling
back the curtain to reveal someone who does his work behind the scenes so that
the stars of Scouting—the Scouts, of course—can shine.
Let's meet Father Jim
Lang, the Diocesan Vicar for the Parishes in the Roman Catholic Diocese of
Syracuse, N.Y. He's vice president for strategic planning in Hiawatha Seaway
Council. He's also a regional committee member and serves on the faculty of the
Adirondack Campus of National Camping School. And that's just a few of the
bullet points on his résumé.
Read on to learn more from Father Lang.
Tenure in Scouting:
Fifty-two years—ever since Cub Scouts.
What is your favorite
Scouting moment?
There are many wonderful memories. Among my favorites are
the camping schools and the outdoor program seminars.
What does Scouting
mean to you?
Scouting is fun! It's also the finest leadership-, character-,
and values-based program available for youth and their parents. We stand in a
long legacy of excellence.
Have any plans for
the BSA's 100th Anniversary?
Usually, I'm involved in summer camp operations, so I've
never been to a jamboree. But for the 100th, I'll participate in the jamboree
at Fort A.P. Hill.
What makes the BSA
stand out when compared with other organizations?
I look at the activities marketed to young people by the
mass media: mountain biking, spelunking, sailing, etc. It seems that there are
ways that we can better promote the excellent opportunities for adventure in
the outdoors than other organizations. With parents, we should actively find
ways to partner in sharing in the development of the character, citizenship,
and fitness of their young people, especially as lifetime values are reflected
in the Scout Oath and Law.
You've been doing this
for decades, so what would you say to someone who is just getting started in
Be yourself. Enjoy the Scouts and the program. There are
many excellent training opportunities and fellow Scouters who will offer solid,
excellent mentoring. And don't forget to take advantage of the experience of
your commissioner.
Thanks to Father Lang for lending us some of his expertise.
If you know a great Scouter who deserves a little recognition, e-mail us.

Why is Dwight Dean still on the 2010 Census payroll?Monday, August 16th, 2010
A quick search of the Commerce Department web site reveals that Dwight Dean is still employed by the Census Bureau even though he has long been removed from duty as the director of the Detroit region. Numerous tips have come in to the MyTwoCensus inbox with allegations that Mr. Dean engaged in substantial amounts of illegal activities while he was on the job.
From the directory:
|Dean, Dwight P
|[email protected]
|+1 313 259 1158
Note: I have tried to get through to Mr. Dean numerous times by telephone but I suspect that part of the reason that I was unable to get through is that Mr. Dean permitted his secretary's husband to be hired as a supervisor for the 2010 Census (can you say NEPOTISM and CRONYISM) after other hardworking individuals were wrongfully fired by Mr. Dean. Getting past a crony gatekeeper isn't easy…
MyTwoCensus has successfully removed other corrupt officials from office like Joseph Aramanda in Chicago and Rafael Dominguez in New York, and we will get to the bottom of this issue as well.

Seeing Solutions with Brain SPECT
By admin on June 4, 2013
Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging is a sophisticated Nuclear Medicine study. Typically, physicians utilize Nuclear Medicine studies in Oncology to detect metastatic disease (Cancer), and in Cardiology to assess cardiac function and viability.
While other "modalities" of Radiology are used to assess anatomical structures, Nuclear Medicine enables physicians to see physiology, or function. Physicians utilize NeuroSPECT or functional brain imaging to assess blood perfusion to the brain in order to find the best treatment solutions for the following conditions:
Anoxic Brain Injury (including birth hypoxia)
Anxiety Disorders
Behavioral Disorders
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Obsessive Compulsive Disorders
Toxic Brain Injury
Traumatic Brain

As you might have heard from a media outlet or two, this is a historic Super Bowl because it features two African American head coaches for the first time. The odds are good that this might be a topic over the next 10 days.
We decided to dig deep into this story, rather than just let it simmer at surface level, so we asked our friend The Assimilated Negro, author of the Ghetto Pass column for Gawker and occasional Free Darko correspondent, to file a series of reports about the Negro Bowl, its significance and whatever else might tickle his proverbial fancy. This will run in four installments leading up to the Super Bowl. And here's the first one. The graphic is by the great Jim Cooke, by the way.
Thanks Will. I feel very privileged that you could
send keep me here in NYC, far away from Miami's distracting hustle and bustle, to provide ongoing coverage of Negro Bowl I. Surely the hot days and hotter nightlife would have led me astray, and as NY enters the coldest point of the year, I look forward to the focus only the most frigid of temperatures can induce. This will keep me honed in on the stories of most importance as we head into the big game, because we all know this game is not about horses and bears. Or Peyton Manning cementing his legacy against a defense that was vastly overrated even before their best player was lost for the season. Nor is it about watching T-Rex (T stands for Terrible, of course) gross us out with his Philistine approach to the art of quarterbacking.
No, this game is about NEGROES. Of course the NFL playing field always runneth over with black people, but for once we're also running the show. This is what the urban marketing folks call "Cultural Synergro." Who'dathunkit? Quick Pop Quiz for you: Excluding the QB's, name two white position players on either team. Three... Two... One.... No, Marvin Harrison doesn't count. See, I told you: It's Negro Bowl I baby!
(More after the jump)
I remember the events of Sunday evening like they happened four days ago. When the Colts intercepted King Brady the tears streamed down my face. I held my right fist in the air, proud, defiant, held high and closed tight. My girlfriend asked if this meant the Mets had won; I ignored her. My eyes sneaked a peek at the Obama poster hanging over the television in the living room, a poster that promises more historical victories on the horizon, then the moment was almost ruined by me catching a glimpse of Sienna Miller on the cover of Esquire and needing to reread the interview about how she's single and looking for a black blogger to mingle with.
Luckily I turned back to the television; Manning was being interviewed, and the storm clouds in my brain thundered out a revelation: "This landmark moment in African-American history was brought to us by quite possibly the whitest QB ever. Now on the Mount Rushmore of Melanin there's Martin, Malcolm, Wesley Autrey, and Peyton Manning." And it wasn't long ago we were all thinking Michael Vick might be our savior.
The hype around two African-American head coaches going to the Super Bowl has been impressive and appropriately reverent. I bet the first two white guys who coached in plain-jane Super Bowl I (no Caucasian research-links during Negro Bowl) are wishing their people endured three hundred years of ostensible and institutionalized oppression so they could bask in this multicultural media afterglow. Now this is what racism is supposed to be about! Good people of good character doing good things; plus they're black!
Both coaches are well-deserving of the accolades, Lovie Smith, a Jesus/Dungy disciple, has turned the Bears around the way the great ones do it, with a firm hand that leaves indelible fingerprints of success on your fine
ass franchise. Or something like that. This Negro Bowl appearance demonstrates the Bears are Lovie's team, more than Urlacher, Tommy Harris or, um, Brian Griese.
As for Tony Dungy, only some literary hybrid of Langston Hughes and Mario Puzo could do justice to The Spiritual Godfather of this black head coaching ring. Possibly the most beloved individual in the league, Dungy could kill your children, sleep with your significant other and send your grandparents to die in Iraq and you'd still well up and kiss him on both cheeks, while he's in your bed eating crackers. Later, while brushing crumbs off the sheets, you'd scold your better half, "You slept with Tony Dungy?!!? (beat) Well, I wasn't even positive he was a sexual being like that, how was it? Did he run the Cover 2? Did his clock management leave a little to be desired? Regardless, that Tony Dungy is a great man; if he decides to have you again you better treat him right, girl."
I'm sure there are some enlightened, color-blind individuals out there who say the race angle here is irrelevant; race is likely a construct they deconstructed long time ago. They may believe that any hubbub related to this story only shows our lack of progress; they'd consider it news if it were two Asian head coaches in the Super Bowl (Go Norm Chow!). Or better yet a Puerto Rican (Go Ron Rivera!) and a Native American (Go Joe Gibbs!); then maybe you could color them
silver and black impressed. To those people I say, "Hi, and welcome to Negro Bowl I!"
Color-blind or not, this is an opportunity to embrace a race moment. It's a reconditioning of our muscle reflexes. It's an opportunity to celebrate the fourth horseman of the Negrocalypse, Peyton Manning, our ironically postmodern African-American Trojan Horse carrying us past the gates of the so called "patriots" who would deny our place in history. This day belongs to everyone, but especially us.
So I'm embracing the racism. The tears are streaming. The fist is held high. I'm black and I'm proud. And goddammit, so is Peyton Manning. He and I both know that on February 4 there will be a great day of football where two teams play and nobody loses.

Here is another character that I love from Beauty and the Beast, and if you have watched the movie before, I know for a fact that you guys love him too. Today I will show you all "how to draw Cogsworth", step by step and if you are unsure as to what Cogsworth's job is in the castle, let me tell you. Cogsworth is what you call a majordomo. Majordomos are individuals that make arrangements, speak to others regarding plans and they are also people that hold the highest stature in a castle or other households. Cogsworth is what you call an extremely uptight character that thinks everything is a bad idea. He would much rather keep his master pleased, and stress free by obeying his every command. Unlike his rival Lumiere, Cogsworth gets extremely upset when Lumiere lures Belle into the enchanted castle. Later in the film he realizes that she just may be the one who breaks the spell and frees everyone from their extremely long torment. Originally Beauty and the Beast is a fairytale that was published back in 1756. Over the years the readings has been made into plays, movies and even recreated as a children's book. I have always loved the tale of Beauty and the Beast and if you are a fan of the book, you should like drawing Cogsworth which is a Disney recreation of the original character. I have to bounce out of here for now but I shall return. Peace people and enjoy!

Cooking for the Swedes onboard? One piece of advise I can give you, stick with their traditions!
Here's a bit of history about Ärtsoppa;
As Finland was until 1809 part of the Swedish Realm, Sweden and Finland share many cultural traditions, including that of the pea soup (Swedish ärtsoppa; Finnish hernekeitto ; Norwegian ertesuppe; Danish gule ærter).
In Sweden and Finland it is traditional to eat pea soup on Thursdays, served with pork and mustard, and pancakes for dessert, in Sweden sometimes accompanied by Swedish punsch as beverage. In Finland the soup is made of green peas, in Sweden yellow.
The tradition of eating pea soup and pancakes on Thursdays is said to originate in the pre-Reformation era, as preparation for fasting on Friday.
Scandinavian pea soup normally includes pieces of pork – although it may sometimes be served on the side – and a typical recipe would also include some onion and herbs such as thyme and marjoram.
It is usually eaten with some mustard, often accompanied by crisp bread and often with the sweet liquor punsch (served hot). Mustard is an important part of the dish, but the soup is served without it so that diners can stir it in to taste.
The soup is then normally followed by pancakes with jam (strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, cloudberry or similar) which are regarded more as part of the meal than as a dessert.
Pea soup is also often served to large crowds in gatherings, simply because it is easy to make in large amounts and most people like it to some extent. In Finland and Sweden it is a popular school food, being very low cost and easy to prepare. (History of Ärtsoppa, Ref: Wikipedia)
A tradition dating back to World War II, Pea soup with pancakes is served
every Thursday in the Swedish Armed Forces and the Finnish Defense Forces.

PGA Tour says Dustin Johnson has not been suspended
AKRON, Ohio – On Thursday, Dustin Johnson announced he will take a leave of absence from golf to seek help for "personal challenges."
On Friday, Golf.com reported that Johnson had been suspended for six months. A few hours later, the PGA Tour said the report was wrong.
"With regard to media reports that Dustin Johnson has been suspended by the PGA Tour, this is to clarify that Mr. Johnson has taken a voluntary leave of absence and is not under a suspension from the PGA Tour," a statement read.
The reason for Johnson's absence is not known, as he did not specify the length when his management team released a statement. But according to the PGA of America, which co-runs the Ryder Cup, Johnson will miss next week's PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup Sept. 28-30.
"I am taking a leave of absence from professional golf, effective immediately," Johnson, 30, said in a statement released by his management team which made no reference to the Ryder Cup. "I will use this time to seek professional help for personal challenges I have faced. By committing the time and resources necessary to improve my mental health, physical well-being and emotional foundation, I am confident that I will be better equipped to fulfill my potential and become a consistent champion.
"I respectfully ask my fans, well-wishers and the media for privacy as I embark upon this mission of self-improvement."
In an e-mail correspondence with the media, the PGA of America was informed by David Winkle, president of Hambric Sports Management that Johnson will not be participating in next week's PGA Championship nor taking part in the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles, Scotland, in September.
"We will certainly miss Dustin Johnson at Gleneagles, and we wish him the best," U.S. captain Tom Watson said. "As one of the longest hitters in the game with an undefeated record of 3-and-0 at Medinah in 2012, he has clearly been an asset for the United States team.
"That said, the United States is a team with an abundance of talent. I am looking forward to teeing it up alongside those players in the PGA Championship at Valhalla, and finding out along with everyone else, which players qualify for the team based on points."
On Monday, Johnson withdrew from this week's World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational, citing "personal reasons." Johnson has eight PGA Tour titles, his last at the 2013 WGC-HSBC Champions.

Records retention: How to avoid recovery headaches
Traditional backups are rarely adequate for records retention, but many are still relying on them. Rick Cook outlines four things to consider when setting up a records retention policy that can save you a lot of trouble in the long run.
What you will learn from this tip: Traditional backups are rarely adequate for records retention, but many are still relying on them. Rick Cook outlines four things to consider when setting up a records retention policy that can save you a lot of trouble in the long run.
While everyone has heard of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), and most people have heard of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), there are many other laws and regulations governing retention of electronic records that are less familiar, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 17a-4.
There can be other issues besides retaining records. For example, SEC Rule 206(4)-7 requires that investment advisors have business continuity plans in place to continue operations in the event of a disaster -- including disaster recovery plans for IT.
Not all of these rules apply to all enterprises, nor to everyone within an enterprise, but they all have one thing in common: Not having the required documents when the lawyers or regulators come calling can be an expensive, embarrassing nightmare.
Don't assume backups can do the job
Traditionally, companies have relied on backups for record retention. But backups are for recovery from a crash or accidental deletion, not for records management. Sometimes your regular backups will be adequate for the additional job, but in a lot of cases they aren't.
Trying to recover certain records for legal or compliance purposes from conventional backups can be anything from time consuming to a nightmare. This is especially true if only a few records are needed out of thousands or tens of thousands already backed up. Emails are the classic example. The entire backup may have to be examined to produce relatively few documents. Since several years worth of records often have to be combed, this is a major task. According to the Securities Industry Association (SIA), one large broker estimated the cost of going through three years of email backups to produce specific messages for the SEC to be between $250,000 and $350,000.
Don't try to do it yourself
Deciding which records to keep is not an IT function. It's a legal, compliance and accounting function. That means that all the appropriate groups need to be involved in deciding which material to preserve and how to preserve it.
Ideally, top management should set up a committee representing all the involved departments to work out a corporate records retention policy. IT needs to be represented, but it probably shouldn't take the lead in formulating the policy.
Whether you have a formal committee or not, the first step is to get an inventory of which regulations apply to which departments in your company. From that domain, experts (lawyers, accountants, etc.) can develop lists of what kinds of records, such as emails, instant messages, etc., need to be preserved and for how long.
Keep in mind that from a legal standpoint, retaining too much, too long is almost as bad as not keeping enough. Your policy should specify appropriate "sunset" times for electronic records and the procedure for destroying them.
The policy should also consider critical issues, such as how quickly copies of the records will be produced and the resources required to implement the policy.
Consider how you'll get it back
When records are needed because of a legal or compliance issue, they are often needed quickly. The company may be under subpoena to produce them within a specified time, and legal and other departments will need time to review them.
You need a process that can recover the records cost effectively within the policy's time frame. This may involve additional software or even an entire parallel archiving system, depending on the volume and needs.
Pay close attention to email
From an IT standpoint, email is one of the thorniest problems in records retention. Laws, like SOX, require that specific kinds of emails from corporate officers and certain other employees be retained.
Email and instant messages are a problem because of the combination of volume and the inflexibility of backups. A number of companies, such as Sherpa Software (www.sherpasoftware.com) and Open Text (www.opentext.com), offer document management software that handles email.

Bird Studies Canada has been delivering the High Elevation Landbird Program in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia since 2002, and is the Canadian co-coordinator of the International Bicknell's Thrush Conservation Group.
The Bicknell's Thrush, a Threatened songbird, is among the landbird species of highest conservation concern in North America. In Atlantic Canada, the species' breeding habitats include the thick conifer forests found on mountaintops and coastal headlands. It is also found in regenerating high-elevation industrial forest where tree density is very high. This habitat is at risk from wind power development, some forestry practices, acidic precipitation, mercury deposition, and climatic warming.
The multi-faceted High Elevation Landbird Program includes working with local communities, industry, and government to conserve Bicknell's Thrush habitat, as well as monitoring and research efforts to track population trends as part of regional and international efforts to track the species' range-wide recovery.

Philadelphia, home of the Constitution, has issued instructions on how to "shelter in place" following the successful police state lockdown in Boston.
"During last week's events in Boston, residents were told to 'shelter in place,' which raises the question, would you know what to do if a similar order was issued in Philadelphia?" CBS Philly asks.
The news article provides a link to a government web page containing instructions on how to "shelter in place." The instructions are tailored for "emergencies involving contaminated air," but may be used for a more generalized emergency such as an order for citizens to stay indoors after the city is locked down, possibly in response to an unarmed teenager on the loose.
The Boston police state lockdown was a beta test. It went over swimmingly. Residents obeyed orders and stayed in their homes. Grocery stores closed. Hospitals were inaccessible. Roads were empty. Schools closed down. Taxi cabs didn't run. Local business lost millions of dollars in revenue.
Then the police conducted a Fourth Amendment busting door-to-door search looking for the teenager. People went along with this, largely without question. They obeyed orders to leave their homes with hands on their heads. It resembled something out of Nazi Germany, circa 1936. Its efficiency would have made the Gestapo proud.
Later, after the allegedly dangerous teenager was arrested, citizens ran out in the street and chanted "USA, USA!" Sports fans added government-worshipping chants to their repertoire.
Mission accomplished. Now other cities are preparing to see if citizens will follow orders and "shelter in place" if told to do so by "the authorities."
Get ready. It's a distinct possibility "shelter in place" will be coming to your neighborhood soon, especially after the display of groveling submission in Watertown, Massachusetts.
By the way, people who know what's coming are taking advantage of our healthy & delicious storable food!

Electronic Code of Federal Regulations
Title 26: Internal Revenue
§31.3402(f)(5)-1 Form and contents of withholding exemption certificates.
(a)(1) Form W-4. Form W-4, "Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate," is the form prescribed for the withholding exemption certificate required to be furnished under section 3402(f)(2). A withholding exemption certificate must be prepared in accordance with the instructions and regulations applicable thereto, and must set forth fully and clearly the data that is called for therein. Blank copies of paper Forms W-4 will be supplied to employers upon request to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). An employer may also download and print Form W-4 from the IRS Internet site at www.irs.gov. In lieu of the prescribed form, employers may prepare and use a form the provisions of which are identical with those of the prescribed form, but only if employers also provide employees with all the tables, instructions, and worksheets contained in the Form W-4 in effect at that time, and only if employers comply with all revenue procedures relating to substitute forms in effect at that time.
(2) Employers are prohibited from accepting a substitute form developed by an employee, and the employee submitting such form will be treated as failing to furnish a withholding exemption certificate. For further guidance regarding the employer's obligations when an employee is treated as failing to furnish a withholding exemption certificate, see §31.3402(f)(2)-1.
(3) Effective/applicability date. Paragraph (a)(1) applies on April 14, 2005. Paragraph (a)(2) applies to any substitute withholding exemption certificate furnished to an employer on or after October 11, 2007.
(b) Invalid Form W-4. A Form W-4 does not meet the requirements of section 3402(f)(5) or this section and is invalid if it contains an alteration or unauthorized addition. For purposes of §31.3402(f)(2)-1(e) and this paragraph—
(1) An alteration of a withholding exemption certificate is any deletion of the language of the jurat or other similar provision of such certificate by which the employee certifies or affirms the correctness of the completed certificate, or any material defacing of such certificate;
(2) An unauthorized addition to a withholding exemption certificate is any writing on such certificate other than the entries requested (e.g., name, address, and number of exemptions claimed).
(c) Electronic Form W-4—(1) In general. An employer may establish a system for its employees to file withholding exemption certificates electronically.
(2) Requirements—(i) In general. The electronic system must ensure that the information received is the information sent, and must document all occasions of employee access that result in the filing of a Form W-4. In addition, the design and operation of the electronic system, including access procedures, must make it reasonably certain that the person accessing the system and filing the Form W-4 is the employee identified in the form.
(ii) Same information as paper Form W-4. The electronic filing must provide the employer with exactly the same information as the paper Form W-4.
(iii) Jurat and signature requirements. The electronic filing must be signed by the employee under penalties of perjury.
(A) Jurat. The jurat (perjury statement) must contain the language that appears on the paper Form W-4. The electronic program must inform the employee that he or she must make the declaration contained in the jurat and that the declaration is made by signing the Form W-4. The instructions and the language of the jurat must immediately follow the employee's income tax withholding selections and immediately precede the employee's electronic signature.
(B) Electronic signature. The electronic signature must identify the employee filing the electronic Form W-4 and authenticate and verify the filing. For this purpose, the terms "authenticate" and "verify" have the same meanings as they do when applied to a written signature on a paper Form W-4. An electronic signature can be in any form that satisfies the foregoing requirements. The electronic signature must be the final entry in the employee's Form W-4 submission.
(iv) Copies of electronic Forms W-4. Upon request by the Internal Revenue Service, the employer must supply a hardcopy of the electronic Form W-4 and a statement that, to the best of the employer's knowledge, the electronic Form W-4 was filed by the named employee. The hardcopy of the electronic Form W-4 must provide exactly the same information as, but need not be a facsimile of, the paper Form W-4.
(3) Effective date—(i) In general. This paragraph applies to all withholding exemption certificates filed electronically by employees on or after January 2, 1997.
(ii) Special rule for certain Forms W-4. In the case of an electronic system that precludes the filing of Forms W-4 required on commencement of employment and Forms W-4 claiming more than 10 withholding exemptions or exemption from withholding, the requirements of paragraph (c)(2)(iii) of this section will be treated as satisfied if the Form W-4 is filed electronically before January 1, 1999.

The trailer for Ubisoft's in-bound squad shooter promises all sort of invisible mayhem. And turrets and drones. What happens if everyone's cloaked at once, though? What happens, then?!
In GRFS' online portion, up to 12 players can play in 6v6 matches. Game modes include Conflict, Saboteur, Decoy and Siege, where players will need to execute co-op tactics to win. There'll be 10 maps at launch and you'll be able to play as a Rifleman, Engineer or Scout. You'll be able to tag enemies across maps, too. And a new suppression system will enable easier enemy flanking. Or so we hope. There's always the invisibility thing, too.

The Winston-Salem Urban Area 2040 Transportation Plan Update (also the Long Rnge Transportation Plan, or LRTP) is a comprehensive plan for the total transportation system encompassing each mode: transit, rail, bicycle, pedestrian, airport and streets and highways. The LRTP must be fiscally constrained and meet air quality conformity standards for the 2040 horizon year. The LRTP shares population and employment growth assumptions and transportation modeling projections with the Regional Transportation Plan.
At each step in the transportation planning process there are opportunities for public involvement. Citizens were involved in establishing Goals and Objects for the LRTP, a Citizens Advisory Council met to review and make recommendations on the land use and transportation assumptions for the Regional Transportation Plan and public review of the existing and proposed LRTP was incorporated into the update. As transportation alternatives are proposed, community meetings and open houses are held to gather public input. The Winston-Salem Department of Transportation web site provides a forum for information and feedback.

Athenagoras (Peckstadt) of Belgium
His Eminence, Metropolitan Athenagoras (Peckstadt) of Belgium is a hierarch of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Since 2013 he has served as Metropolitan of Belgium.
Yves Peckstadt was born on March 24, 1962, in Ghent, Belgium, the son of Archpriest Ignace Peckstadt (who served there in Ghent) and Marie-Thérèse Janssens. After some years of law school at the University of Ghent, he began study at the University of Thessaloniki in Greece, having received a scholarship granted by the Ecumenical Patriarchate. He successfully graduated with a Master's degree in Theology. He continued his studies at the Ecumenical Institute of Bossey (University of Geneva), graduating with a thesis entitled History of Orthodox presence in Benelux and its importance to the ecumenical movement.
In November of 1989 he was ordained to the diaconate by Metropolitan Bartholomew of Philadelphia (presently the Ecumenical Patriarch), who also gave him the name of Athenagoras in honor of the great Patriarch Athenagoras I. Later, Metr. Panteleimon (Kontogiannis) of Belgium ordained him as a priest. In September of 1996 he was elevated to the rank of archimandrite and then as Episcopal Vicar of the Archdiocese of Belgium.
For more than five years he functioned as religion teacher in different high schools in Flanders. At the beginning of 1994, Metr. Panteleimon named him as producer for the Belgian radio and television Orthodox broadcasts in French and Flemish. In the same year, the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate made him a collaborator of the newly established Liaison Office of the Orthodox Church to the European Union, located in Brussels. By 1995, Archdeacon Athenagoras had founded with the blessing of Metr. Panteleimon an Orthodox parish in Bruges, under the patronage of SS. Constantine and Helen, where he served as the first dean. He later founded also the orthodox parish of Saints Cyril and Methodius in Ostende and the parish of the Three Hierarchs in Hasselt. He functioned as Orthodox Chaplain of the International Airport of Brussels since several years, and is also a member in the Concertation of Christian Churches in Belgium, in the committee "A Soul for Europe," and president of the E.I.I.R. (International and Interconfessional Association for Meetings of Monks and Nuns), after serving as President of the Interecclesiastical Committee of Brussels.
He speaks Flemish, Greek, French, English, and German.
On the May 13, 2003, he was unanimously elected by the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople as auxiliary bishop to the Metropolitan of Belgium with the ancient title of Bishop of Sinope, and was consecrated on Sunday, June 22, 2003, in the Orthodox cathedral in Brussels. In addition to his episcopal functions, Bp. Athenagoras continued to carry on most of his former duties.
On Novenber 27, 2013, the Holy Synod elected Bishop Athenagoras as Metropolitan of Belgium, following the retirement of his predecessor Metropolitan Panteleimon.[1]

Remake Announcement
PVTuts is glad to announce that we've now begun rolling out the new generation of our video tutorial series. Each and every one of our videos will receive a full overhaul, complete with HD video quality, professionally synthesized audio and new, extended material. No attention to detail has been spared in these remakes in order to bring you the very best programming learning experience available.
Republishing Continued
Another one of my books have been republished this week, under the title Build a Profitable Online Business: The No-Nonsense Guide. This is an updated version of my Handbook of Web Business book. As with the PVT books I'm hoping to reach an even greater audience through these republishing deals under the flag of Apress Media and Springer.
This title covers everything you need to get started with building profitable websites. Like my other books, the information contained within this book is extremely condensed, giving you only the information you need without any useless theory.
Republishing Deal
New Domain Name
As of today PVT is switching to www.pvtuts.com as its primary domain name. The previous domain name, www.programmingvideotutorials.com, will still continue to work as normal.
Video Remakes
I'm in the process of remaking the video tutorials for the site. The new videos will feature higher resolution and better video/audio quality. If all goes well the first videos will be released in a few month's time.
HOWB Audiobook Fundraiser
Siforia's second crowdfunding campaign – the Handbook of Web Business: Audiobook Edition – is now live. The goal of this campaign is to finance an audio version of the Handbook of Web Business, by preselling this and many other products on the campaign page. Audiobooks are kind of expensive to produce, so the campaign needs to raise at least $2k for this product to be financed. Here's a rendering of the CD version of the audiobook:
I'm grateful for every bit of support in getting the word out about this campaign. If this campaign exceeds its goal I will use every bit of surplus to fund more PVT videos.

Californians love their pets, and now they can display that love on their bumpers.
Governor Jerry Brown, along with First Dog Sutter Brown, made a trip to Los Angeles Wednesday to support the state's new Pet Lover's License Plate.
Proceeds from the sale of the plates will help provide funding for free and low-cost spay and neuter programs in an effort to cut down on the number of dogs and cats that end up in shelters each year.
"No government bureaucracy," Brown said. "It doesn't have to go through Sacramento. It goes directly to do something good."
Joining Brown at Wednesday's event was dog trainer Cesar Millan, who's best known for his role as TV's Dog Whisperer.
"To me, a spay and neuter campaign is just as important as the Buckle Up (campaign)," Millan said. "It saves lives."
Adding some Hollywood flair to the campaign, the plates were designed by actor Pierce Brosnan.
"The dog that you see on the license plate is a family dog, Shiloh, and the cat is Angel Baby," Brosnan said. "Shiloh is a pound dog."
The state is waiting for 7,500 pre-orders before it starts making the plates. So far, they have a little more than 4,000 orders. Prices start at $50 for a standard plate and $98 for a personalized plate.

Training courses comprise the fundamentals of theory, practise and safety on the
water. Beginner courses usually include the training material (board, rig, accessories);
a complete beginner course can take around 8 hours (for instance with the international
association VDWS which is widespread in Egypt) and achieve an international surfer
license. Advanced students who wish to get to the next level, can enrol in courses
of an average of 4 hours, on request, it is possible to have group courses. Private
lessons are available for instance if you wish to learn a special loop or master
some spectacular jump.
There are also specialized courses for slalom and free riding, power jibes and many
other specialties. The material has to be rented, however, for advanced courses
or private coaching. Even children starting from 8 years can start with discovery
programmes and even full courses.
And since the Red Sea is just a fantastic place, offering numerous options to discover
its wonders, why do you want to stick to only one sports activity? With some combined
programmes, it is possible to mix windsurfing with kitesurfing or scuba diving.
If you pick up a day or so of no or only light wind, no other place than the Red
Sea can offer you great alternative activities such as snorkelling or diving!

How to Use
Map 1: Cornish, New Hamphsire and the surrounding region.
Questions for Map 1
For a time, Saint-Gaudens maintained two studios in New York City, an apartment and studio in Paris, and a home and studio in rural Cornish, New Hampshire. He came to New Hampshire in 1885 to find a place to model his latest commission, a statue of Abraham Lincoln. He chose the area because he had been told by a friend that it was an area with "plenty of Lincoln-shaped men." He and his family spent summers here from 1885 to 1897.
1. How many studios did Saint-Gaudens operate? What do you think this reveals about his economic and professional status?
2. What would be some of the advantages and disadvantages of an artist maintaining a number of homes and studios?
3. How would you describe the location of Cornish, New Hampshire? Why did Saint-Gaudens choose to open a studio here? What do you think the quote regarding "Lincoln-shaped men" meant?
* The map on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of Map 1, but be aware that the file may take as much as 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Yan (pictured) was named to the All-Academic second team for 2009-10 (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Intercollegiate Sailing Association has announced its 2009-10 All-Academic teams, and three Harvard sailors have been selected. Alan Palmer was selected to the first team, while Michelle Konstadt and Winston Yan were second-team selections.
The All-Academic distinction, which recognizes the most qualified sailors from the 2009-10 academic year, requires that a student-athlete must be a junior or senior with at least a 3.5 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale and be starter or key reserve. This year's group includes nine first team members and 10 second team members.
"Selection to the first team acknowledges an emphasis on academic achievement," said ICSA president Mitch Brindley in the official ICSA release. "These individuals have met a certain balance between sailing on a competitive team and academic excellence."
Palmer, a native of Yarmouth, Maine, is currently a senior concentrating in applied mathematics. Konstadt, an Armonk, N.Y. native who concentrated in applied mathematics, and Yan, a native of Alexandria, Va., who concentrated in physics, are both 2010 graduates of Harvard.

Stanczyk cannot believe almost the whole month of October, Polish History Month in the US, and this is my first blog of the month !
What has gotten me off my royal jester duff ? The baptism of bonny Prince George of Cambridge, of course. I was keeping abreast of this genealogical event. But the interest in this baby is phenomenal ! Blog readership is up over 250% and most of that increase is International.
I'll come back to the God Parents (all seven of them) in a minute.
First, I want to comment on the four generation photo of HRH Queen Elizabeth and her three generations of heir apparents – Prince Charles, Prince Andrew and Prince George. Why the focus on a family photo? This is extraordinary in British History – only once before has a four generation picture happened and that was 1894 !
The last occurrence was with Queen Victoria and her future heir apparents – King Edward VII, King George V, & King Edward VIII at Windsor Castle.
The parallel is obvious – baptism is a time of whole family gathering and when it's a future monarch, it is historic.
Prince George who was born 22 July 2013, had his christening and (23 October 2013, Chapel Royal) was attended and sponsored by no less than seven God Parents – And neither Prince Harry nor Pippa Middleton were god parents.
God Fathers — William van Custem, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Hugh Grosvenor, Oliver Baker
God Mothers — Zara Tindall, Julia Samuel, Emilia Jardine-Paterson
