Andrew Ellard
I had the smeg-tastic priviledge of having an e-chinwag with Andrew Ellard, best known as the writer & co-ordinator of the off...
Well, screw down my diodes and call me Frank! Another member of the illustrious Grant Naylor Productions (GNP) crew graciously granted me a second interview regarding the long-awaited Red Dwarf TV Series DVDs, to which I almost fainted like Rimmer on his thirteenth attempt at the Astro-Navigational exam (this is because I was still in the process of transcribing the first interview with Doug Naylor at the time - talk about busy!). I had the smeg-tastic priviledge of having an e-chinwag with Andrew Ellard, best known as the writer & co-ordinator of the official Red Dwarf website and having been recently appointed to the position of DVD Associate Producer for GNP.
Now it's one thing to write, film and produce an entire television show based on the smallest genre of all, the Science-Fiction Comedy, but it's a-whole-nother matter to bring together all of the archival material that pertains to it. This was the 'challenge' faced by the guy who pretty much had every single DVD element go through him just like a Hologram, so his mission was to swallow as much curry-flavoured Red Dwarf supplementals as he could muster, then spit it all out into something that would resemble a Triplicated Angelic Pot-Noodle. Of course, nothing could ever taste as good as this (never) - but if a pot-noodle could age well over time, then Andrew and the GNP crew hoped that the wait would be just as divine for the DVDs. Now then, time for those Haiku readings!
DVDActive: So were you a Dwarfer before you came onboard to Grant Naylor Productions and what are your first memories from the time you came across this TV show (hehe, and which series did you see first)?
I was given Fan Club membership as a birthday present when I was sixteen - God, that's a decade ago! I used to send in letters, articles, pictures, fiction, all that stuff ... this was right after Series V went out. I ended up editing the club magazine and, when GNP were looking for someone to write and co-ordinate the website, they asked me. I'm a writer anyway, so it was only the internet stuff that was a stretch!
DVDActive: So how much contact did you have with the cast & crew before (and during) the DVD production schedule and what was it like dealing with them, especially the actors?
You have to bear in mind that a DVD is a retrospective thing, especially one for a show made in 1987. Production, which is where the cast are involved, is very much over! That said, it was great to get hold of Craig, Chris, Danny and Norman for the commentaries - it's hard to get those guys in a room at the same time, they're so busy.
Chris and Craig also came in to do interviews for our new documentary, Launching Red Dwarf. It was one of those, 'are they free tomorrow?' things, and thankfully they were. Doug interviewed them both, I just heckled occasionally ... and then interviewed Doug for the same documentary, as well as a second piece for Series II.
DVDActive: What exactly is your role in the development of the DVDs and will most of the same people (including yourself) be involved in all eight of them?
We've made sure to include credits on the DVDs, because the people involved really do deserve to take credit for what they did. It's been really collaborative, so we need to name-check the important people. The producer for Grant Naylor was Helen Norman. She and Ross McGinley at BBC Worldwide are the ones who find and spend the money, and make sure it's all legal and above-board. Ross is also the guy who trawled the BBC archives for 14 year-old trailers and skutter designs - from the BBC end, it's been very much his thing.
Ross also got us together with Digital Deluxe, the team who created the awesome animated menus. They've done an amazing job - we've got roaming Skutters! And, as a fan, I get to sit there and say things like, 'That prop didn't appear until Series II' in a whiney voice...and they fix it!
My role was ... a lot of everything. I co-designed the cover art, came up with content, consulted on the menus, picked deleted scenes, and have been publicising it all in a production diary on reddwarf.co.uk. The joke is that all that's left now for me is to be selling them down the market.
Sorry, I haven't really answered your question. There's another six series to go, we're getting ready on three and four already. But I hope most of the key people stay where they are. It's hard to say, it's a four year project. I know I want to see them through.
DVDActive: Did you have any previous experience in creating DVDs, and if not, were there any similarities in doing this with what you have done before (say in terms of organising the material for display on a multimedia platform, like a website etc)?
That's a good point. Yeah, it is kind of like the website, I guess. I've never worked on DVDs before, but I'm a avid purchaser. So you draw on the really basic instinct of 'What would I like to see?'. That's why the site takes so many hits, I think - it's a real balance of news and information coupled, I hope, with some funny stuff, too. If I were visiting a Dwarf website, reddwarf.co.uk is what I'd want to see.
The thing I campaigned hardest for DVD-wise was the deleted scenes. I REALLY wanted those more than anything else. I think they're the most important for the fans. But it was so long ago, and I know Doug was unsure that there would be much of worth left among the outtakes. But we've got twenty minutes for both Series I and Series II - so despite the hours I spent in the dark, watching the rough edits and waiting for a line I didn't recognise, it's been really worthwhile. Some really interesting 'lost' moments.
DVDActive: According to your interview with Mr Flibble, you're the kind of guy who prefers content over flashiness ... so what things did you want to try and avoid (or include) when making the Red Dwarf DVDs and do you feel you were relatively successful in this?
"Content over flashiness" - that's accurate, I guess. Except maybe when it comes to strippers ...
Yeah, I think we were successful. It would have been very easy to have done cool animated menus leading to just six episodes and a trailer. But Doug would have been appalled if we'd done that, and so would I. It's why we didn't churn them out the moment DVD became big. We've waited until now so the expertise was in place to do the show justice, and give the fans something they'd be glad to own.
DVDActive: How did you (and the other team members) managed to scrounge up all the extra stuff for the DVDs you wanted, were you looking for things in particular that were hard to source, and did you actually come across any hidden gems that you probably didn't know even existed or thought would never come to light?
Well, see the answer about deleted scenes. I never thought we'd find the old footage, much less find so much to use. The trailers were a hell of a find, too - kudos to the McGinley detective skills. But there's not much lost that we didn't know about. Helen's been with GNP for ten years, so she knows where all the bodies are buried, and I've been an avid fan for the same length of time. Between us we kind of have both the major angles covered - an encyclopaedic knowledge!
DVDActive: You once said to me that you pretty much saw every single piece of material that could have gone into the DVDs ... how easy or difficult was it to disect and filter down everything you had available to you, yet still retain as much quality and quantity as possible to satisfy even the most demanding of Red Dwarf fans?
It's not too tough, actually. For example, we originally had a very long 'raw effects footage' reel. It's all great stuff, but after 10 minutes of silent models, you really do lose the will to live. So we had that tightened up - nothing was lost, but seeing the same shot done three times takes the edge off it a bit.
I'm missing out two really important people, actually. All the editing for GNP was done by Mark Wybourn, with Jim Skinner assisting. Mark did a great job on the documentary, and he and Jim put the 'Drunk' featurette together SO well. It's quirky, it's funny, and we have a similar one for Series II. Of course, having had the idea, it's left to the sad fan here to come up with a list of EVERY clip in the show where the cast are seen drinking or drunk!
We surprised ourselves. We haven't had to put any 'padding' on, it's all really good or interesting stuff, even the Easter Eggs. We were expecting it to be a nightmare - nobody in 1987 was filming behind the scene footage - after all, nobody knew what kind of success Red Dwarf was going to be.
DVDActive: Still, even with this amount of extra material to sort through, can you tell us if there's anything that has not ended up on the DVD that you regret not being able to include, or have you been able to nail down everything you've wanted?
There's not much that got away, just because there was never much stuff from that time in the first place.
DVDActive: Were there any little knick-knacks of footage that you or Doug knew existed but had absolutely no time to locate (such as even some silly things like 'Best Christmas Wishes' fillers for TV broadcasts)?
Again, there just isn't anything like that for the early series. International sales were some way off, so there was nothing like the PBS idents the cast now do. But keep your eyes peeled for the later series DVDs, because I'm sure that kind of stuff will be showing up.
DVDActive: Was there any consideration to include information regarding the CGI-remastered Series 1, 2 & 3, for example some documentation as to how and why they were developed, and maybe even showing a comparison of the footage itself as an extra (video or still)?
I think those would only have been relevant if we'd included both original and remastered versions for the release. I know the fans talked a lot about this, but Doug had always said there was no way we'd want to release anything other than the original versions for our first DVDs. Plus I don't think anyone would have been pleased to pay the extra for a THIRD disc!
DVDActive: As for the bloopers and outtakes (known as Smeg-Ups/Outs to fans), did you manage to find a lot more footage than what was previously released on VHS, and indeed did you include every last little fluff-up that you had available to you (or did you just cut it down to an 'entertaining length')?
Again, we were keen pile on the extras, but not to the point where it bored people. 'Exhaustive' can be exhausting. Add to that the fact that, frankly, every decent smeg-up has already been unearthed for the tapes you mentioned, and really it was better to rely on the great material we already had.
DVDActive: Now the concept of filming models on wires(?) and using things like radio-controlled props (eg skutters) might be old news to some people, but can we expect any footage or discussion on the 'how-to' as well as the 'foul-ups' that used to occur with them?
There's not a lot of 'how to' for Series I! Peter Wragg and his team built the Red Dwarf ship and filmed it using motion control - not 'flying by wires' at all. But there were very few effects. The cast are very funny in the commentary about working with them, and there's a booklet I've written which comes with the set which goes into it a bit more. Once again, there's a lot more to say - and a lot more footage available - for this kind of thing when it comes to the later series.
DVDActive: Just recapping on the DVD menu-system - not only have the various locales and objects been faithfully replicated, but even the different lighting and colour schemes that help to represent the individual production values for each Red Dwarf series are in place as well - a thing that I'm sure only frequent Red Dwarf viewers will be able to pick up on. How many people were ultimately involved with the creation of these menus and how much fun (or even tedium) was this process for you, the creators and the approvers?
See above, and then see the website! The team at Digital Deluxe did wonders. They watched the tapes until their eyes rolled out. I'm really looking forward to seeing what we'll do for the later series, once the sets and lighting started to look really great.
For them I'm sure it was pretty dull. I was providing lists of all the little things worth including. For Series I its things like the piles of white dust, the funeral canisters, the cat's pile of 'Fish' containers. For US it was great fun, for the Deluxe guys ... well, I think they'll be glad of a break. (Laughs)
DVDActive: I've also read that the Skutters were heaps of fun to develop and play with in the menus, could you maybe tell us what else you have in mind for enhancing the menu experience in future series DVDs?
Well, I know what ideas *I* have, but I don't want to spill them out now and have someone tell me it can't be done! Doug and I have talked about it a little, but really it's too early to say. Also, I want to wait until the reviews of the first two series come out, see what people think.
DVDActive: Was the cover art created by the same people as the menus, and who's idea was it to come up with the Red Dwarf logo to 'complete itself' across the spines?
That was one of mine, the spine thing. I love it when your set looks like it belongs together. If you buy the four Alien movies, or the Buffy boxed sets, they look like they SHOULD be on the shelf together.
The cover art was a concept by a great girl called Gina Hinton, who has since moved on to new things. Hers was the silver logo/red background concept. Then I worked it up, put it together, I think maybe put Lister on the back, painting the hull. We passed the whole lot to the BBC with a note that said 'Exactly like this' and that's what they did. We've had the concepts for all the series lined up in the office, already in plastic cases. It's a buzz to look at ... until you remember you've got to work another three years to finish them!
DVDActive: So, since we are given the Japanese-dubbed version of The End episode, have all the Red Dwarf episodes been similarly re-dubbed for the Japanese DVD market (if not into any other language for release around the world)? I was thinking that this might end up being some kind of weird 180 degree spin from when Monkey (Saiyûki) was translated into English over 20 years ago ...
We've been translated all over the shop, the Dwarf's gone global! I love the Japanese version - and it's remastered, which will give people a chance to compare. Doug and I sat and watched it trying to pick which scene to include on the DVD. But we ended up going 'the first scene's really interesting, and so's the next one, and we can't lose Kochanski and the Captain etc' ... until Doug said 'Just whack it all on!'. My favourite's the 'Everybody's dead, Dave' scene. Hearing that in Japanese is a revelation.
Sorry, I digress. The show has recently become incredibly big in Japan. It's just so cool over there right now. They've got all the episodes on TV, of course, but I hear the DVDs are coming out soon. Unlike here there won't be any bonus material or zippy menus. They just want the episodes, sooner rather than later. We couldn't possibly get all eight series out in a single year the way they wanted them - but if they want just the episodes (and they can't get them on video, remember) then why not?
DVDActive: Has Grant Naylor been in discussions to get the U.S. Pilot Episode(s) or the various TV specials such as Can't Smeg, Won't Smeg for inclusion into a future DVD release?
We had a lot of, very short, conversations about Red Dwarf USA, but the truth is that I don't think we'll ever see a home release for it. It's bogged down in a decade's-worth of red tape and ownership questions, which isn't helped by the fact that it was never INTENDED for public broadcast. It was only ever meant to be seen by the people you sold the show to. I sometimes think that might be the same reason Joss Whedon hasn't included the Buffy pilot on any DVD release. As for the others, we'll see how it goes.
DVDActive: Since we hope to see all the Red Dwarf series released eventually, are you considering making a mega-box set with all the DVDs and possibly any other bonus stuff (like a 9th extras-only disc or even some sort of special offer for purchasers of the DVDs)?
I wish I could say we had the capacity to be THAT organised! This release won't be completely out until February 2006, so smeg knows where the franchise will be at that point. The movie's going to revolutionise Red Dwarf. If I were a gambling man, I'd bet on some kind of offer, simply because it's worked so well for things like the Bond movies. But it's simply too far off to speculate.
DVDActive: So is the Series 2 DVD in the digital can, or are you still waiting on any last minute material to, uh, materialise?
Thankfully, we're pretty much done on Series II. We're going through the animated menus - we've got cowboy and Indian skutters in these! - and then we'll be ready for the final simulation. We'll be posting full details on reddwarf.co.uk early in the New Year.
DVDActive: As for the Red Dwarf movie (and its inevitable DVD release), how will you be involved and what do you hope to get from the experience?
I'm really looking forward to the film. I'm going to be writing the 'Making Of' book, which we have great plans for. That'll run alongside the website's coverage, of course, which we want to make truly comprehensive. I should be on-set and on-location all the way through - and with better access than any journalist will get.
As for the DVD release, it's a bit early to think about, though I know we'll be sure to get as much material as we can during production because it's always useful. Behind the scenes things, Making Of' stuff, interviews, all that. I'd like to work on the DVD, but they really need to shoot the film first.
DVDActive: (This is just to clear up a slight bit of confusion here) ... The website states that there is a possible November / February scheduling for every series on DVD - do you mean to say that each series will appear every Nov & Feb of each year, or that it will then follow onto May & Aug as well (the plan at least)?
No no, you were right the first time. We're aiming for November and February for four years, fingers crossed. We're working on them in pairs, which roughly fits the way the series go together.
Amazingly, people are complaining about the schedule - they want them all NOW which I understand, because I've wanted them all ever since we lined those test boxes up on the shelf! But, as I said with Japan, you can have them quick or you can have them great. We've always said that we would rather take the time and get it right. And I hope the releases in November and February prove that we've made the right decision.
Well, when it comes to organising supplemental material for a DVD most of us wouldn't even contemplate on who actually collates, categorises and exhibits all these stocking-filler extras into a user-friendly medium. The last thing anyone were to utter would be the fans, because isn't this typically the responsibility of those who headed the project in the first place? But then who better qualified for this task than the person who has ultimately seen everything from both sides of the fence? To this end, Andrew Ellard is the fan's fan of Red Dwarf and I couldn't think of a better Space Corps representative to navigate us through the White Hole (or light at the end of the tunnel) for this show. But I tell you what, it sure feels like 3 million years since we first heard about the DVDs, doesn't it?
And I apologise for leading all of you smee-hee's down the path of Nodnol before, I do stand corrected on my previous statement regarding the schedule for all future Red Dwarf Series DVDs to come. The plan is indeed to release every two series worth of DVDs in November & February each, not every three months as I had wrongly surmised before. The thing was that I was at a point where I had to choose from one interpretation of the official text or the other ... and silly me picked the other. Of course, with the final DVD aiming for a 2006 release at this stage, I'd say that the Red Dwarf TV Series has now become the second-most eagerly anticipated set of DVDs next to the original Star Wars Trilogy - but then, I am a fan of both! Although I doubt I can wait yet another 871 Selim before Kryten (Robert Llewellyn's version of course) finally gets the DVD treatment he so richly deserves, can you? But since GNP and Co would rather give us the ultimate version of Red Dwarf, I guess it's better dead than smeg!

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend
It looks like Gerry McReary isn't getting out of prison any time soon, so if you want to visit him, go ahead and do that. The prison, as you well know by this late point in the game, is located at the southeastern corner of Alderney, and is aptly called Alderney State Correctional Facility. Naturally, when you arrive to speak with Gerry, he's going to have to continue to speak in vague terms as he's been forced to do since having monitored conversations. He'll give you some clues as to the mission that lies before you, but ultimately it's going to be up to you to speak with Packie once you leave to sort it all out from there.
As soon as you get outside, Packie and Niko will speak on the phone and the rest of the plan will unravel. The knowledge you receive will let you know that your destination is in northern Algonquin. Packie is waiting for Niko in a car off of Vespucci Circus. So, once you boost a car (or simply get into the car you drove to the prison in the first place), the best route to take will show up on your GPS. You'll almost definitely be taken northward over Alderney before heading eastward over the tiny Hickey Bridge to Algonquin. From there, your destination isn't too far off.
When you arrive at Packie's car, you'll find him and the prisoner already (creepily) sitting in the back. So, get into the car and start driving to your new destination on Charge Island. Your route will likely take you over the Northwood Heights Bridge into Bohan, and then southward to Charge Island via the East Borough Bridge. Make sure to keep a close eye on the directions on your HUD, since Charge Island is small and the directions can be convoluted. Once you arrive at the first waypoint on your HUD, another one slightly forward and to the east will be revealed. Once you pull your car into this location, a cutscene will ensue.

Reporting by ChildFund Liberia and ChildFund Zambia
Ever wonder how much gifts and sponsorships matter to children who live in extreme poverty? Staff members of ChildFund Liberia and ChildFund Zambia recently gathered some first-person reactions from children who have benefited from the generosity of sponsors and companies who donate goods through ChildFund's gifts-in-kind program.
Jessica, age 12, of Liberia received a Life Is Good tote bag through ChildFund's relationship with Good360, the nonprofit leader in product philanthropy.
"I attend the Christian Revival School in Konia, Zorzor District, Lofa County. I am in the fourth grade, and I am happy going to school. I carry my bag every morning to school. Other students who don't have it call me 'Life's Good Girl.' I like the bag … the drawing is funny. It is like a friend who helps to carry my books but never complains.
This is my first bag. Before I was given the bag, I used to carry my books and pencils in my hands. Because my hands were wet when my palms sweat, my books got spoiled. When the rain came, my books got very wet. When the road got dirty, my books got dirty.
Now I carry my school things and other things I don't want people to see, like my lunch and any nice things. Before, if I was given new books, some bad boys would take them from me and run away. Now, nobody sees what I've got in my bag, and I don't worry. Thank you for my bag!"
Jimmy, 12, and Andrew, 8, of Liberia live in an orphanage and received clothes from Life Is Good.
"I feel very happy to receive the clothes, because they bring me here without enough clothes, and I pray that ChildFund will continue to help us every year. 'Life Is Good' is good for us," Jimmy said. He was brought to this orphanage from another home for orphans that was closed due to lack of funding.
"I was brought with a pair of trousers and a shirt to this orphanage," Jimmy continued. "I am very happy with my clothes. They make me look good.''
"I am very happy," Andrew said. "This is not my first time getting things from ChildFund. I got TOMS shoes. I was carrying slippers to school, and then ChildFund gave shoes to us."
Asked what they would like to do in the future, the boys had ready answers: "I want to study so that I can work for ChildFund," replied Jimmy. "I want to become president," Andrew said.
Timothy, 11, of Zambia, loves writing to his sponsor.
"I live in Kalundu Compound, Kafue district. I am doing grade 6 at Kalundu Basic School. My favorite subject is mathematics. I like writing.
I have a sponsor and friend at ChildFund. Her name is Jeanette. This sponsor has helped me very much for four years. She sends me money every year for my birthday and for Christmas. I use this money to buy shoes and clothes.
Because of this sponsor, I have learned to write letters. I joined the writing club in my community, and I am happy and enjoy writing. Sometimes I write to myself because I like to improve my writing. I would like to see more sponsors come and start supporting other children like me here."
Gift, 10, of Zambia, values education.
"I'm Gift, and I'm doing my fourth grade at school. My community is made up of about 300 families; most of these people are not employed. They depend on selling vegetables at the market, and others [sell] fish. Other families are farmers.
We have a school in our community where I go and a clinic where we go when we're sick. A few other children and I are sponsored by ChildFund.
I have a vision that one day my community will become a big city with electricity and more schools. People will also go to school and start working instead of selling vegetables to earn money."

A dream job proved that some Cubs fans are huge dreamers.
WBBM-AM 780, the new radio outlet for the Cubs, has been actively looking to hire a third person to join Pat Hughes and Ron Coomer on the game broadcasts. A decision is expected shortly on who will host the pre- and postgame shows as well as provide score updates during games.
Sounds like a pretty good job, especially since it means attending every Cubs game, home and away.
Ron Gleason, WBBM's director of news and programming, wasn't surprised to receive more than 400 resumes for the position, which Judd Sirott filled last year at WGN-AM 720. More than a few, he said, were from people who had only one...

SPOKANE, Wash. – Fifty-eight consecutive winning seasons.
The number is staggering all by itself. For the Linfield Wildcats, there have been plenty of close calls, near upsets and doomsday predictions through nearly six decades of sustained success.
Saturday at the Whitworth Pine Bowl, Linfield scored the first 31 points on the way to a convincing 51-17 Northwest Conference victory over host Whitworth, pushing its season record to 5-0 and assuring the second-ranked Wildcats of extending their own national all-divisions record to 58 straight seasons with more wins than defeats.
Reserve tailback John Shaffer rushed for 65 yards and one touchdown and the Linfield defense held Whitworth scoreless during the first and fourth quarters, sending a hopeful Family Weekend crowd of 2,070 home unhappy.
Whitworth (2-5, 0-3 NWC) dropped its fifth consecutive contest after a 2-0 start. Yet the Pirates nearly made a game of it with a second-quarter surge fueled by freshman quarterback Ian Kolste, who passed for 190 yards and two touchdowns in his first career start.
Linfield punched across touchdowns on its first two drives, producing matching 1-yard runs by tailback Josh Hill and quarterback Josh Yoder for a 14-0 lead 11½ minutes into the game. A 43-yard field goal by Josh Repp on the second play of the second quarter, coupled with Yoder's 6-yard toss in the end zone to tight end Jacob Priester less than three minutes later pushed Linfield in front 24-0.
And by the time 10 more seconds had elapsed, the Wildcats were celebrating yet another touchdown after a bad snap squirted away from Kolste and dribbled into the end zone. Lineman KeAlii Poomaihealani pounced on it, turning the game into what looked like a runaway rout. As Repp's extra point made it 31-0 with 12:06 left before intermission, the Whitworth faithful were left to wonder how large the margin might grow before the final buzzer.
Yet Kolste and the Pirates kept fighting. The lanky righthander tossed a 30-yard missile to Devon Lind less than three minutes later. Then Kyler Gracey added a 30-yard field goal with 23 seconds to go before the break, cutting the margin to 31-10.
A timely 36-yard kickoff return by Linfield freshman Spencer Payne spotted the ball at midfield and the Wildcats refused to take a knee to end the half. Instead, Yoder lofted a 28-yard alley-oop ball to Colin Nelson down the left sideline. That set up Repp for a 43-yard field goal that barely cleared the crossbar, making it a four-possession game once more.
Linfield was less than efficient to begin the third quarter, going three-and-out, then giving up an interception to Casey Monahan on its next possession that placed the ball at the Linfield 8-yard line. Three plays later, Kolste found Dustin Martin for a touchdown, reducing the lead to 17 points with 8:45 left in the third quarter.
Whitworth would not score again. The Linfield defense stiffened and the offense began to produce, starting with Repp's third field goal of the game, a 26-yarder, with 2:30 remaining in the period. Shaffer and backup quarterback Matt Yarbrough added fourth-quarter rushing touchdowns to clinch the road win and secure the program's 58th winning season in a row.
Yoder's statistics were pedestrian by his usual standards as the senior completed 12 of 28 passes for 189 yards and one TD. In addition to the third-period interception – Linfield's lone turnover of the game – the Wildcats allowed Yoder to be sacked three times.
Despite the losses in yardage, Yoder managed 50 yards rushing on 16 carries. Yarbrough gained another 57 yards, 53 of it on a touchdown scamper, helping the Wildcats pile up 219 yards on the ground and 408 total yards for the day.
Colin Nelson caught three passes for 75 yards and David Sigler had three receptions for 46 yards.

Changing Retirement Plans
- With two exceptions, would permit employees to choose to remain in the retirement plan in which they were mistakenly placed, or to be placed in the plan in which they should have been placed, retroactive to the date of the error.
- Would provide that employees erroneously placed in the CSRS could not remain in that plan. They could, however, select the CSRS Offset plan, or be placed in the FERS.
- Would provide that employees who should have been placed in Social Security only and were mistakenly placed in a federal retirement system, could not remain in a retirement plan unless they had already vested.
- Would make all elections irrevocable. Employees not making an election would retain their current coverage.
Agencies' Responsibilities
- Would make a lump-sum payment to Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) accounts of affected employees, representing past employee contributions, as well as the automatic 1 percent agency contributions and agency matching contributions.
- Would pay past earnings on all three amounts, calculated using the employee's TSP fund allocation choices.
- Would make all necessary contributions to the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF), Social Security trust funds and the TSP for the affected period.
- Would pay the reasonable costs of financial and legal advice employees need to make informed decisions under the bill. In addition, the measure is intended to prevent employees from incurring undue tax burdens as a result of their choices.
Office of Personnel Management Responsibility (OPM)
- Would require OPM to ensure uniform implementation of the bill's provisions and to ensure that employees and retirees are adequately informed as to the status of their retirement accounts in order to make an informed decision. OPM must give final approval to all corrections made under the bill.
Other Social Security ProvisionsThe bill passed by the House does not include certain amendments to the Social Security Act and tax provisions that were in the bill as reported by the Committee on Government Reform. Those provisions were dropped to expedite passage of the bill in the House and to also facilitate the bill's consideration in the Senate. The provisions may be reinserted in the bill during Senate or conference committee consideration. The provisions that were dropped:
- Would permit the Commissioner of Social Security to modify the wage record of each employee affected by a retirement coverage error to change, add, or delete any entry regarding service as an employee to the extent necessary to carry out the purposes of this Act or the Social Security Act, regardless or any limitation in the Social Security Act.
- Would require the Commissioner to notify the Secretary of the Treasury if the Commissioner determines that the payment of the OASDI taxes described in this Act did not result in an equal credit to the OASDI trust funds. Upon receiving such notification, the Secretary of the Treasury shall transfer an amount equal to such shortfall from the general fund of the Treasury to the OASDI trust funds.
- Would amend the Social Security Act's coverage provisions and the Internal Revenue Code's employment tax provisions so that individuals who should have been placed in CSRS but who were placed in another system with Social Security participation would have a legal basis for Social Security coverage and tax liability.

Our Campus
Our Campus
Tucked away in the hills of Los Angeles' Eagle Rock community, our campus is a real beauty.
Designed by Rose Bowl mastermind Myron Hunt in 1911 and landscaped by Beatrix Farrand, the Oxy campus reflects its rich history. We reside on 120 acres studded with oak trees and eucalyptus, graceful arches and halls built in the Spanish Colonial style. State-of-the-art science facilities are just down the path from lovingly preserved historic buildings. Our solar array, one of the largest of its kind in the country, blends green technology and art. The likes of Katharine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart have strolled through the Quad, as have the inhabitants of the planet Vulcan, all while filming on campus.
The atmosphere is, in a word, idyllic—students visit and never want to leave. Somehow the L.A. traffic seems miles away, though the city is really just outside our door. An urban oasis if ever there was one.

Context Triggered Piecewise Hashing
From ForensicsWiki
Based on the work of Dr. Andrew Tridgell, Context Triggered Piecewise Hashing, aka Fuzzy Hashing, can match inputs that have many homologies. This means that the inputs have large sequences of bytes that are identical and in the same order. This technique was originally published at the DFRWS conference in 2006 in a paper |Identifying Almost Identical Files Using Context Triggered Piecewise Hashing.

I just got new monitors for my computers. the old monitors were getting to much for me, especially since I just got a few big web jobs and will be spending an emmense amount of time infront of them in the next month. But MAN do I have a headache from looking at them! the LCD screens take some getting used to I guess.
And my other new toys - new phones! Ok, old phones that are new to me. I have a serious adversion to touch tone phones. I only have two - my cell and my cordless. I have two 'new' phones from Freecycle. I'll post actual pics later today, but here is the type:
Well, all mine are in black and in much rougher shape, my new ones are yellowish tan and brown. My sister actually has an orange one just like in the picture. She got it first because she is the oldest and moved out first. Brat. the coolest thing is my grandfather had a silver plated handle cover for his phone, he gave me the phone with the cover when he moved in with my parents. It has his initials engraved in it - it's very cool.
If anyone here as an old rotary dial phone wasting away in the basement or garage I'll be happy to give it a new home. I want one for every room. Man you should hear the noise when the phone rings in my house!

On his last visit to Japan, my good friend, Professor Kimo Ferreira, brought back a book entitled Natsuhashiki Okinawa (Remembrances of Okinawa), by Katsuo Notamura. November 23, 2000. 160 pages. Japanese language.
The book presents photographs that were taken during the visit of a Japanese gentleman to Okinawa before World War Two (looks like the 1930s). It contains two photographs of Kentsu Yabu and one of his students practicing Karate.
There are many photographs of the scenery, architecture, and people of Okinawa. I found a couple of things to be very interesting.
The first is the architecture. Okinawans lived in very modest houses. Okinawa was the poorest prefecture in Japan before the war, and it showed. However, the castles, tombs, and bridges were usually magnificent stone structures. It appears that most of this stone was coral rock (as opposed to the volcanic rock we have here in Hawaii). The Okinawan carved the stones with straight edges and fit them together like beautiful puzzles that remind me of some of the walls seen in the temples of Mexico and Central America.
It was the contrast that was so striking. Many people, particularly the poor, lived in simple wooden huts. But nearby would be a magnificent stone bridge. And the people buried their dead in stone tombs (and caves). The tombs cost many times the price of a house.
Many of the stone structures looked very old. They were most likely constructed during the Golden Age of Okinawa, when the Kingdom prospered as a hub of trade between China and Japan. Only a wealthy government could invest so much money in its infrastructure.
The other thing that I noticed was that just about all of the common people were barefoot -- not just the children, everyone. Of course, for formal photos where the visitor to Okinawa was wearing a suit, the Okinawans tended to be better dressed and wore shoes or slippers. But in the candid photos, the people on the roads and in the villages were all barefoot.
I mentioned this to my mother, who was born and raised in Fukuoka, on the Island of Kyushu. She said that as a child, she always wore shoes (she went to a Catholic school). But during the war, all the children went barefoot. This was to show support for the soldiers who were fighting in the war. The public had to make sacrifices.
But in Okinawa, it seemed that going shoeless was more a factor of poverty. We often hear that the ground in Okinawa is very rocky. I noticed this during my two visits. Despite the rocky terrain, the people wore no shoes. They must have developed very strong feet and toes!
I wonder if this is a reason why we kick with the tips of our toes in Shorin-Ryu? For people with callused feet and toes, this would make sense. I have worn shoes all my life. In Hawaii, you would say that I have "haole feet." The local people here also went barefoot much of the time and developed tough feet. "Haole feet" means that one's feet are tender.
Some of the Okinawans who did wear footwear, wore getta. With getta, you have to grip the center strap with your toes. This also strengthen the toes.
Whether because they were barefoot or wore getta, Okinawans probably had much tougher feet than we do today. This would have enabled them to kick with their toes and the edges of their feet.
Today, modern Karate schools tend to teach the use the ball of the foot and the heel to deliver kicks. Is it because we have tender feet (or because we would usually have to kick while wearing shoes)?
Just a couple of things I noticed in that book of old photos from pre-war Okinawa.

Guidance for getting started in Competitive Youth Pistol Shooting
My son and I are looking for some information about youth competitive pistol shoots that would be available in Northern California. Particularly the Sacramento and Bay Areas.
Info about my son:
He's 14 and a freshman in High School.
In the Boy Scout Program and has completed the rifle and shotgun merit badges which had peaked his interest in shooting sports.
He is currently nearing the end of his 2nd year on the Yolo Sportsman's Association Jr. Rifle Team and has just earned his NRA Sharp Shooter ranking.
The show "Top Shot" on the History channel is favorite TV program.
At the moment, he thinks he wants to go into the Marine Corp after he graduates. Last year it was Air Force. Teenagers!
I really thought he would continue on with the rifle as his competitive juices stated going, but they really didn't get moving once he started shooting some larger caliber guns.
He absolutely loved shooting trap with the 12 gauge and found he enjoyed it more than the 20 gauge. Then he tried pistols and liked that even more.
Needless to say, being the wonderful dad that I am, I have a 20 gauge shotgun and and very nice Savage Mark II at home that don't get much use. (Yolo rifle team provide a 22LR with peep sights for their shoots)
I take him to the two shooting ranges here in Vacaville to rent various pistols for him to try out and get the feel of. But since I don't want to start buying more safe queens for him this time, I figured I would post it to the CalGunners to see if anyone has some experience as to what competition shoots are out there (types of pistols/calibers), for someone his age, and what you have found as good starting points into this area of shooting that I can share with him for guidance.
Thanks for the advice in advance!
Last edited by Jackalope55; 04-21-2012 at 8:32 AM.. Reason: Just ranked up his NRA Marksmanship grase
Update to what I have found on my own
I have continued to search out more information as to what is out there and am surprised at how difficult it is to find age requirements attached to any of the shooting sports, but anyway ...
Here is what I have found so far (and I will continue with updates if anyone here finds this info useful):
The biggest help was coming across this site ActionPistol.org which lists various USPSA, IDPA and Steel targets Clubs in Northern California.
From there I was able to find one that is closets to us, which just happens to be Solano Targetmasters and they have competitive shoots every 2nd Sunday of the month at the Yolo Sportsmen's Association in Davis.
In contacting their Club President about an age limit this is what he said:
This is a good start at least for us. I am going to take my son to the next shoot on the 13th so he can get more of an idea of what it's really like out there instead of just watching the competitions on Shooting USA.
We have started Venturing Crew 1220 in Marin which focuses on shooting sports, and currently we are training on action pistol. Rimfire pistols for now, moving up to 9mm once accuracy and speed improves.
Venturing is a division of Boy Scouts, it is coed and ages 14-20. Boy Scouts can't shoot pistols or any rifle other than 22 single shot bolt. Venturers can shoot any legal pistol, rifle or shotgun, except full auto.
Like our Facebook page, "Crew 1220" and you can see what we are up to.
Best of luck to you and your son!
Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me. (Genesis 27:3)

This is why we're now looking for a PR Coordinator and Community Manager to join our ranks, focus on getting our message across, and also to help us out on our ongoing development in a few other ways. This is a half-time or full-time employment (depending a bit on the applying candidate), working from home or from our soon-to-be-established hub-office in Malmö, Sweden.
Here is a rundown of some of a few more specific tasks:
- Working out (together with management) marketing plans for upcoming game projects.
- Staying up to date with the rest of the team by listening in on (and contributing to) meetings.
- Maintaining continuous communication flow on our forums, social media channels, Steam community and PS Live Area etc.
- Coming up with ideas and suggestions for messages to communicate or events to hold through our different channels. Then writing/creating graphics for these - from our existing assets - and coordinating and executing them.

- Planning, coordinating and contributing to PR statement generation and sendout alongside our PR firm.
- Planning and coordinating demo creation with the team.
- Planning, coordinating, creating and submitting details to platform stores such as Steam, PS Store etc.
Of great importance is that fact that you must be able to work from home. Frictional Games currently does not have an office; however, we are planning to set one up in Malmö, hopefully sometime next year. You will however decide for yourself how much you'd want to make use of the office, so it's crucial that you are able to plan your day, take full initiative and work without strict guidance. Because of this, we allow a flexibility that you'll rarely find in an office environment.
- You live in Malmö or are prepared to move here.
- You are fluent in English and a strong communicator.
- You are able to create basic work in Adobe Photoshop.
- You love horror, sci-fi and narrative games.
- You have an understanding of social media and other game-related communication channels.

Auburn tree-poisoning trial could move
Prosecutors are asking a judge to find a new location for the trial of a University of Alabama fan charged with poisoning Auburn University's oak trees at Toomer's Corner.
Lee County District Attorney Robert Treese made the request in a document made public Tuesday in the case of Harvey Updyke.
The prosecutor asked the judge Monday to find a new site for the trial, now set for April 8.
The defense argues the trial needs to be held elsewhere because of extensive media coverage in the Auburn area.
Updyke has pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect to charges that include desecrating a venerable object. He is accused of poisoning the Toomer's Corner oak trees during Auburn's run to the national championship in the 2010 football season.

Every year around this time, proposals seem to happen everywhere and who can blame a guy for using the holidays as the perfect setting to pop the question? Celebrities are no exception and it feels like every celebrity couple is now planning their big day, aside from Katy Perry and John Mayer, we are still waiting on that one! With all of these proposals, we can't help but think about the sexy designer swimwear that the celebs will be wearing on bachelorette trips and honeymoons! We happen to have some sexy new styles in the 2014 collection that are perfect for any bride to be or a brand new wifey, so whether you are tying the knot yourself or looking for the perfect bridal shower gift, we have you covered!
The sexy white bikini is very obviously the perfect pick for any bride to be to rock at the bachelorette party in Vegas or maybe Miami! Of course every bride also wants the perfect white bikini for the honeymoon that will fit right in with the tropical scenery. I have a favorite for both occasions and they are equally stunning and luxurious. The Red Hot White Bikini is a sexy luxury swimwear style with rhinestone hardware that is the perfect bling for a bachelorette, but will double as a honeymoon bikini as well! My favorite style for a tropical honeymoon getaway has to be the Summer Siren Bikini, which is still a white bikini, but has some fun teal hardware that adds a little pop of color.
Although you want to stand out as the bride, you may not want to overdo the white look, so you will need something a little more subtle, but just as luxurious and glamorous. The Paris Valentine Bandeau Bikini is the ideal sexy swimsuit for getting some sun on the beach and avoiding tan lines, and you will look like a celeb while doing it! You can't have a luxury bikini without the designer beachwear that goes with it! The Irresistible Tunic coordinates perfectly and has a very casual chic style that is perfect for the honeymoon or a poolside brunch with the bridesmaids after the big night out.

Weather forecasters have issued a warning as 70mph gusts and possible flash floods look set to strike Derbyshire.
The amber 'be prepared' alert – the second highest warning from the Met Office – is valid until midnight.
A spokesman for the Met Office said: "With winds reaching between 60 and 70mph in Derbyshire, the public is advised to take extra care and be prepared for the risk of disruption to transport and possibly power supplies.
"We're also concerned about a band of weather which could produce 10 to 20mm of rain in quite a short period of time. This could have quite a big impact and result in flash floods."

"The major new feature of the company's new iOS 6 mobile operating system is a new mapping module developed by Apple itself - a replacement for the Google-supplied maps that have been standard on the iPhone since it debuted in 2007. It is a change borne not of user demand, but of corporate politics: Google's Android platform is the biggest competitive threat to the iPhone, so Apple is cutting ties with Google. iPhone owners might have loved Google Maps, but Apple has no love for Google. Unfortunately, Apple's new maps are simply not as good as Google's." That's putting it mildly - my own town barely even exists on Apple's maps. It's basically a trainwreck, and according to The Verge, Apple has been working on this for the past five years. This is what happens when a company cares more about stupid grudges than its customers. Considering how much effort it has taken Google to get where it is now with maps, don't expect Apple's maps to even get near Google Maps any times soon. This isn't going to take months - this is going to take several years, if at all.

There aren't any teas in Macpug's Cupboard yet.
Most Southerners like their tea one way: iced and syrupy sweet. You think that's two ways? Not in the South! ;)
Maybe it's because I went to the UK in my teens and fell in love with the concept of "tea time" or maybe because I've spent a lot of time in Canada actually taking part in afternoon tea, where the world stops at 4p no matter what you're doing. I actually love tea, both hot and cold, and I enjoy trying new ones.
This should be fun. :)

Picture yourself in a misty wooded forest, with towering conifers creating an imposing canopy and ground squirrels exploring the damp earth below. Not too far away, you might hear the crash of the Pacific Ocean, and above your head you might hear the call of a bald eagle.
Where is this place, you ask? It's the temperate rainforest of the Pacific Northwest, the featured ecosystem in our newest ARKive Education lesson all about temperate rainforests. Developed with support from the Weeden Foundation, 'Temperate Rainforest in the Pacific Northwest' encourages 7-11 year olds to get hands-on and explore their local environment, food webs, and the differences between living and non-living things. By comparing their findings with the Pacific Northwest region in the USA, students discover the many features of the Pacific Northwest that make it unique, and investigate how this ecosystem is changing as a result of human influence.
Supported by amazing photos and videos from the ARKive collection, students will uncover the diverse range of species that inhabit the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest, including some rare and threatened ones.
'Temperate Rainforest in the Pacific Northwest' also incorporates an overarching conservation theme highlighting how human behaviors are threatening the region's wildlife. Industries such as logging and housing construction are examined, and students are given the chance to suggest solutions to these conservation issues in the classroom.
To welcome our newest education resource to the ARKive website, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to take a tour of some of the different species that call the Pacific Northwest home.
Night chaser
An active nocturnal hunter, the red fox roams the temperate rainforest in search of small mammals and invertebrate prey. Although it's only roughly the size of a small dog, it's actually the largest species in the genus Vulpes.
Wise wood
Lawson's cypress thrives in the moderate temperature and high precipitation that characterizes the temperate rainforest. Amazingly, this conifer can live for as long as 560 years!
Whistling Washingtonian
After hibernating for seven to eight months of the year, the Washington ground squirrel emerges to seek food such as flowers, roots, bulbs and seeds. A unique characteristic of this small mammal is its call, which is a soft, lisping whistle.
Mountain frogs
During the warmer months, the Cascades frog dwells in wet mountain habitats such as marshes and bogs, but during hibernation, it might actually be found in the mud at the very bottom of ponds.
High-flying hunter
An iconic American symbol, the bald eagle can be found soaring above the temperate rainforest. This species is an impressive hunter, and is even capable of capturing birds the size of geese during flight!
Visit ARKive Education to download 'Temperate Rainforest in the Pacific Northwest' and explore our fun and inspiring collection of lessons, games and resources.

"Technology brought the economy down in the Adirondacks several years ago," he says. "Now, technology will bring it back."
He also has a plan. Gates, along with Clarkson President Tony Collins, is forming a new Adirondack Initiative for Wired Work hosted by Clarkson University. Together, they have recruited a team of regional leaders and energized professionals dedicated to revitalizing healthy economic growth in the Adirondacks. And the way forward is technology.
Gates was born in 1929, when the road was built that connected Raquette Lake and Blue Mountain Lake, where Gates grew up. Power, telephones, more roads and water systems followed, until an entire infrastructure was in place to support local business. But somehow, insidiously and over time, the economy lost its way.
Gates believes the answer lies in telecommuting.
"Here's what technology is doing," he says. "Accounting offices source India and the Philippines. MRIs and X-rays are read in China. Graphic designers and chip designers are global anywhere with the Web." Having built a company in India, Gates is confident the Adirondacks can compete on this level.
A year ago, Gates, the eldest of four children, became the last surviving member of his immediate family; his sister, Phyllis, and his two brothers, Charles and Bobby, all died within a year of each other. His wife, Betty, also passed away. As a tribute to all of them, Gates wanted to leave a legacy: to create jobs in the Adirondacks, and bring back economic life to the place his family has always called home.
A proud and active alum of Clarkson University, he knew he wanted Clarkson President Tony Collins on board.
Gates says, "President Collins doesn't just talk about creating economic opportunity in Clarkson's backyard. He has actually gone out and done it by fully committing the institution's research centers and signature work ethic to driving the infrastructure and resources that will make the region a premier place to live. New companies have emerged using leading-edge green technology and advanced materials from research labs. Upstart entrepreneurs can build dynamic business propositions with support from Clarkson's School of Business. And the administration, faculty and staff have been diligent about pursuing the capital resources to accelerate these opportunities."
President Collins and the University know that generations of students have called the Adirondacks their backyard paradise, and understand well the region's significance as a gateway to campus.
"Universities thrive, just like communities thrive, when they partner with others to become a constant source of innovation, creativity and connections to the global world," says President Collins. "Our pristine location and the unique character of the communities that share the Park with wildlife and recreation enthusiasts alike are our greatest assets - working wired in the Forever Wild is a creative lifestyle choice that complements the natural environment that we all embrace."
"If you build it, they will come," says Gates, who expects 150 to 200 attendees to the conference.
The effort will be supported by a marketing campaign that speaks to people who are passionate about the Adirondacks, who are ready to choose a different way of life and work, and who want to be a part of healthy, vital growth for our living park.
The strategic vision can be summed up in one line: "Let your front porch be your front office."

Fell in love with these books the first time I randomly took them off the library shelf when I was 11. I recently reread them and was re-amazed at the depth of the characters, the principles of truth and the inspiration to act according to what is right rather than easy or what we might want.

I tried to close several completed issues by selecting them and using "WITH SELECTED ISSUES" action "Set Status" and set to "CLOSED". Their status now shows up as "CLOSED" but they are still in the "Open issues" queue and the name isn't in strikeout font like the other closed issues. So I conclude there is a open/closed flag somewhere but IO don't know how to set it other than by using the "Resolve issue" button in the issue edit page.
(There is a "Resolve issue" in the "Choose workflow step to perform..." action but it doesn't work: Just shows a box containing the words "RESOLVE THE ISSUE" and does nothing else, as if half the dialog (including a submit button) is missing.)

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine slammed Donald Trump for "choking" during his Wednesday meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, calling the trip across the southern U.S. border "diplomatic amateur hour."
The Virginia senator questioned the odds that Trump would have avoided saying anything about who would pay for the border wall while mocking the conflicting accounts over whether the wall came up during the sit-down.
The Republican presidential nominee has made the wall — and Mexico paying for it — a core element in his campaign. Trump said it didn't come up in his meeting Wednesday with Peña Nieto. But Pena Nieto tweeted that he had told Trump that Mexico wouldn't pay for the wall.
"I find that kind of ridiculous," Kaine said Thursday on NBC's "Today" show. "Even if it didn't come up, he choked and forgot to say that to the president of Mexico after he's been saying it every day for the last many months?"
Kaine told Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie that even if Trump's account is accurate, it showed he "folded under pressure" and "didn't have the backbone" to discuss the issue with the Mexican president.
"When he's looking the leader of Mexico in the eye, he can't bring himself to say it," Kaine said.
Lauer challenged Kaine's notion that the meeting was amateur diplomacy, noting that a "toned down" Trump appeared presidential alongside the Mexican leader.
"You know, I think the important thing about leadership is you got to be consistent. You can't say different things to different audiences," Kaine said. "And so, you know, he came back across the border and then it was all about Mexico is going to build a wall. Mexico is going to pay for it. He was divisive. He basically says America is going to be deportation nation. But when he's looking the leader of Mexico in the eye, he can't bring himself to say it."
Ask by Guthrie whether Trump prevailed in the war for optics by traveling to Mexico while Clinton spent the greater part of the last week fundraising in the Hamptons, Kaine challenged that assumption.
"I don't think so. Again, just do the contrast, the 24 hours of yesterday," Kaine said. "Donald Trump choked on the fundamental promise that he's making in this campaign when he had the opportunity to talk to the foreign leader about it by his words he didn't bring it up, by the leader's words, yeah, no did come up and I told Trump we're not paying for your wall. So that just shows that I think kind of not ready for prime-time but then back over on this side of the border, he just doubles down on this divisive deportation nation strategy."
Kaine also addressed recent polls that show a tightening race between the two White House hopefuls. Although Clinton maintains a lead over Trump, her favorability rates are decreasing.
"I've always assumed this race would be hard," he said. "We're feeling good about our position in a number of the true battleground states, but we do not feel any sense of complacency."

This weekend was a wonderfully long one, owing to Adam having to take some days holiday before the end of the month. And so on Thursday evening we trotted off to the station to catch a train up to his home town of Hitchin. It was getting late by the time we arrived so there wasn't much time to do anything (especially after the catch up chats) other than have dinner. Adam's Mum had cooked us the most delicious veggie bake….layers of different veg with mozzarella in between and all topped with herby breadcrumbs. Yum!
Our excuse for visiting was that it was actually Adam's Mum's birthday weekend. And so I was very excited about giving her the home made gifts I had made….. as well as a yummy banana loaf I had painted two canvases for her, one of each of her dogs. She was absolutely delighted with them too, and we were all pleased to yum up the banana bread over the weekend!
On Friday morning (trying to remember it wasn't yet Saturday!) we popped into town to go to the lovely flea market that's there every Friday. We've had some real success there before, having found some wonderful vintage buttons and my incredible 50cm high Victorian Bell Cloche on the last visit. This time it was a darling little white leather flask I couldn't resist….. I bought it for just £9 from the military stall, and it has a wonderful silver badge on the front with my initials (also the Queen's!).
We also couldn't resist the chalk board sign in the window at Halsey's (the gorgeous little tea room / gallery / deli just off the market square which dates back to 1854) which advertised Wookey Hole Cave Aged Cheddar as the best cheese in the world…..and so in we went to buy a large chunk for lunch when we got home. And we can certainly concur with the judges…..melted on toast in the Aga it was absolutely delicious….just the right balance of creaminess, sharpness and a little earthiness which comes from aging the makers' truckles inside the famous cave.
In the evening, it was off to Letchworth and the sweet little Broadway Cinema there. It was lovely to have a change from our usual large cinema in London….the audience were much better behaved and the auditorium is very charming in Deco styling. The film was The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and we all loved it….. I'm so very fond of many of its cast (Judie Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith…..) and it really is a very funny and heart warming film. The film's setting had us all hankering for an Indian meal though and so it was over to Sagar for a curry. All the food was divine…. Adam had an amazing veggie curry in a banana sauce…. and my vegetable Biryani (made with Rose Water, pistachios, coconut and almonds) was lush! And when we'd finished our meal, we were presented with a whole tray full of sweeties, as well as chocolate mint thins with the bill. AND our lovely waiter then made us up his special night-cap (and wouldn't reveal the secret recipe!) all on the house. Great place.
As the weekend proper started, I decided on three breakfasts to set me up for the day. First breakfast was All-Bran with milk….second breakfast, fruity granola with Rachel's Organic Vanilla Yoghurt….and third breakfast a lovely slice of granary toast with marmalade and butter. Yummy!
And having yummed this all up we walked down to Gila Timur, a shop on the way to the station, to meet Adam's Dad for some browsing. From outside, it looks like any other independent furniture shop, but inside it is a treasure trove of gorgeous pieces from all over the world. Adam's Dad had wanted us to see the Indonesian sculptures there which are absolutely stunning….. I also loved all the gorgeous furniture made from reclaimed boat timber which still has layers of chipped paint on it. Having gotten chatting to one of the owners, he told us about his pride and joy which resides in one of the rooms in the labyrinthine basement….. an enormous (we think at least 9 feet tall) and incredibly intricate wood carved sculpture of Hanuman, the Hindu deity who appears in the form of a monkey. The owner explained how it is common practice for such sculptures (that is, carvings not made for tourists, and of such immense size) to be imbued with a spirit, and we certainly felt a presence about the sculpture like nothing we had ever experienced.
After a jaunt around all the charity shops and a trip to Waitrose for dinner ingredients, we spied a chance in between rain showers to go out for a walk with the dogs around Ickleford Common and Gerry's Hole. The light was gorgeous as the sun began to set over all the damp trees and grass, and the dogs enjoyed running for sticks (as well as a little swim in the river for Newton!).
We worked up quite the appetite after our stroll, so we were pleased to be heading over to see some friends and cook dinner for the six of us. I'd made my signature Chilli last time, so it was Adam's turn to make his wonderful Carbonara. Everyone yummed this up, alongside wine and cider…..and we remained at the table to eat cola cupcakes made by Holly and to play my all time favourite board game: Cranium. We played boys versus girls, and having cheated terribly, the boys beat us by a hair. It was a brilliant game though, highlights including the boys having to roll a length of sculpting clay as long as Adam's left foot (between them, and using only their left hands)…. Martin's whistled rendition of Tomorrow from Annie….. and my expertly sculpted toilet.
Sunday brought a shocking amount of rain, and so we decided to stay another night to avoid traveling home in it….or from leaving the house at all really. We started the day with a naughty breakfast of Belgian waffles with strawberries, ice cream and maple syrup…. and then settled down to some rainy day activities such as completing the crossword, eating home made fudge and lounging about. I did manage to be a little productive though and wove a few pendants from beads in the shape of snow drops, inspired by our countryside walk the day before. Hopefully I'll get these onto my Etsy Shop this week. For supper, it was roast beef with Yorkshire puddings and all the trimmings….. gosh it was lovely with a glass of red (and with a pudding of ice cream and chocolate Torte made by Adam's Mum's friend for her birthday!). We finished off a slobby day watching the classic no-brainer Van Helsing (hurrah for Hugh Jackman!) before falling asleep very full and contented.
This morning we lay in before another waffle breakfast (this time without the ice cream so very healthy) and then packed, ready to leave. After a short and tolerable train journey home, we popped to Waitrose for the week's shop and returned with fresh coffee and Duchy Originals Hot Cross Buns…..which we devoured whilst completing the cross word.
What a wonderfully relaxing weekend!
Hope you enjoyed yours too,
Ems x

A debut goal against Mansfield Town in the FA Cup after just seven minutes got Sturridge's Reds career off to the right start, after he became disillusioned with life in west London.
The ex-Manchester City forward followed up that strike with the consolation effort against Manchester United, and he struck again and played a starring role in Liverpool's recent 5-0 demolition of Norwich.
With talk of a burgeoning partnership with Luis Suarez already exciting supporters on Merseyside, William Hill have offered punters the chance to stake on how many Premier League goals Sturridge will end up with this term.
Already on two, the early favourite with the bookmakers is for Sturridge to continue his good scoring form and end the season on over 10 goals, which is available at 13/8 (2.62).
Despite Sturridge's impressive start to his career at Anfield, and the improved Liverpool forward line thanks to his signing and the timely return to fitness of Fabio Borini, it would be quite something if the England international netted at least nine more times with only 15 league games remaining.
|Daniel Sturridge's Premier League goals for Liverpool in 2012/13
|Odds from William Hill
|Under 7 Goals
|7-8 Goals
|9-10 Goals
|Over 10 goals
If he keeps up his current hot-streak then it would be attainable, but for a player who has never scored more than 12 goals in a full season, to expect Sturridge to get to that tally in half a campaign is surely asking too much.
With Liverpool still competing in the FA Cup and Europa League such a haul may be possible in total, but to do so in just league matches would require unreserved backing and bank on no injuries.
Conversely, his odds of 5/2 (3.50) to fire less than five more Premier League efforts in 15 matches doesn't seem to offer great value either, given how well he has taken to his new club.
With the other two options of 7-8 goals at 7/2 (4.50) and 9-10 goals 11/4 (3.75) offering better returns, it seems wisest to pick one of these selections.
9-10 league goals in total for the 2012/13 campaign would mean Sturridge adding either seven or eight to his current haul, and from 15 games that bet looks to be the strongest.
In a difficult market to predict, this option looks the best with the striker keen to impress new manager Brendan Rodgers in the coming months.
If Sturridge manages this many goals, and continues to combine with Suarez as well as Borini offering a threat off the bench, then Liverpool could also be a good punt for the top for at 8/1 (9.0), despite their lacklustre start to the season.
