Ohhhh, yeah!
When people take of love, I lead the conversation!
I say I feel just fine! Happy with my situation!
But when I look away, people know my mind is strayin'!
To where I once belonged, dreamin' about your heart again!
Your heart again, yeah, your heart again!
Let Me In Your Heart Again!
Listen to me, honey!
When you had to face the blues, I gave you satisfaction!
(Your heart again)
Despair was on your mind, I gave you the right direction!
Hey, hey, hey!
No, I'll never look back in anger!
No, I'll never find me an answer!
You promised me you'd keep in touch!,
I read your letter and it hurt me so much!
I said I never, never be angry with you!
I don't wanna feel like a stranger, (no)
cause I'd rather stay outta danger!
I read your letter so many times,
I got our meanin' between the lines!
I said I never, never be angry with you!
I must be strong so she won't know how much I miss her!
I know most of you here are pretty big queen fans, but I know some are relatively new to the music and fandom. If you are one of these people, this article is for you. this is just a general summary of a bit of queen history. To start off, Queen was a band formed in 1970 with Freddie Mercury as the frontman, Brian May as the guitarist, Roger Taylor as the drummer and John Deacon as the bassist. Before the band, Freddie was an artist, John was an engineer, Roger was a dentist, and Brian was an astrophysics scientist. They all met in London and had a passion for music, forming the band Queen -...
Music is playin' in the darkness and a latren goes swingin' by!
Shadows filckerin'!
My heart's jitterin'!
Just You And I!
Not tonight, come tomorrow!
When everything's sunny and bright! (Sunny and bright)
Come tomorrow cause then we;ll be waitin' for the moonlight!
(We'll go walkin' in the moonlight, walkin' in the moonlight)
Laughter ringin' in the darkness!
People drinkin' for days gone by!
Love Of My Life, you've hurt me,
you've broken my heart and now you leave me.
Love Of My Life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back,
don't take it away from me
because you don't know
what it means to me.
Love Of My Life, don't leave me.
You've taken my love and now desert me.
Love Of My Life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back.
don't take it away from me
because you don't know
what it means to me.
"Hello! Would you like to come to our after party?" Said Brian. "Sure! What time?" Karina said. "5 o clock. Hope to see you there!" Said John. They left the stadium. Karina got water and threw it in both of their faces. "Wake up! We just got invited to Queen's after party!!!"
"REALLY!?" Said Roberta. "Oh my gosh! I cant wait! Lets go get ready!" Said Marge. They left the stadium and went to their apartment. Roberta suggested that they paint one side of their nails black. They did it. Then they started putting on dresses. When they were ready, they left the door.
Roberta, Marge, and Karina were in their room listening to Queen's Greatest Hits. Marge was singing along to Don't Stop Me Now while Karina was reading. Roberta was painting her nails one side black.Marge stops the track annd says,"I really wish we can go back in time to visit Queen. It would be really awesome to see them!" Karina looked up from her book and sighed,"I would love to meet them, too. If only we had a tim-I got it!". Karina ran downstairs to the garage.
"What!?" Marge shouted. "I am going to make a time machine! You can help me!!!" Karina said. They opened the garage...
I will just share my thoughts on Freddie's death.
Freddie was a great singer and was the best member of Queen in my opinion. I was very upset once they revealed his death. I wish he was still alive to this day. Of course, we all know he died of aids. He did not deserve to die. Yes, he was gay, (I don't support that) but he was one of the best singers.
My favorite song was Bohemian Rhapsody because it is meaningful. The lyrics are very easy to understand and my favorite part is when they sing the opera part. I hate seeing Freddie hurt, it just hurts me.
Here are some of my favorite Freddie Mercury quotes! I hope you like them too!
•Listen, if you guys wanna move around and shift your assess a little, that's okay by us. You can take all your clothes off if you like, too. It doesn't matter. . . Fuck off!
•I always knew I was a star , and now the rest of the world seems to agree with me.
•Gay as a daffodil.
•Hello everybody! Hey hey hey! Okay! You know, it's not always we do shows in the daytime and I fucking wish we'd done it before. I can see you all now! And we have some...

A Ukrainian soccer player who was knocked unconscious is OK after some quick thinking from an opposing player in Sunday's game between Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk and Dynamo Kiev.
Kiev's Oleh Husyev was knocked out when he took an accidental knee to the head from the goalkeeper. According to the live-blog from Dnipro's official site, he appeared to swallow his tongue during the collision.
Without hesitation, Dnipro's Jaba Kankava ran over to Husyev and cleared his airway.
Gusev was taken to the hospital with a concussion, a jaw bruise, and damage to three teeth, the team announced.
The video of the entire sequence (below) is astonishing.
Husyev took the knee to the head:
He was knocked out:
Kankava turned him over and appeared to clear his airway:
Husyev regained consciousness:
He was placed on a stretcher and taken to the hospital:

Each week, we'll ask our stable of scribes across the globe to weigh in on the three most important NBA topics of the day — and then give you a chance to step on the scale, too, in the comments below.
Making Training Camp Count | Shaq, The Owner | It's The Name On The Back
Shaquille O'Neal is now an owner of the Sacramento Kings. Thoughts on how this will play out?
Steve Aschburner, NBA.com: Owners are overrated. No offense to the Forbes 400 set, but the best owners in sports are the ones who hire the right presidents, general managers and coaches and let them do their jobs. If Shaq were a big-man coach or a GM, he'd have a unique impact on the Kings (and presumably DeMarcus Cousins). But as an "owner," he's just another guy with a fat wallet. Maybe he's buying himself a high-priced apprenticeship to learn front-officing for a future team and role. Or maybe it's all a set-up for a reality TV show.
Jeff Caplan, NBA.com: Shaq is the icing for this new optimistic and opportunistic Kings ownership group and front office as they attempt to resuscitate the franchise. There's few bigger names in the game than Shaq, no larger personality to shine attention on a woebegone basketball team. He might even punk DeMarcus Cousins a time or two, and that would be funny. It will be interesting, however, to see just how vocal a typically filter-less Shaq will be, win or lose, but especially if the transitioning Kings continue to play like the, um, "Queens," of the past half-decade.
Scott Howard-Cooper, NBA.com: I predict he will demand more touches. Oh, wait. That was the old Shaq. This one will work fine as long as he doesn't start calling out players, coaches or executives. In other words, it may not work out fine. Maybe it's a new day as O'Neal moves into a new role. Maybe he beats the odds and stays low key. If that happens, he can do a couple years and turn it into a larger role somewhere else. The Kings will have benefitted from the marketing, as well, and everyone goes home happy.
John Schuhmann, NBA.com: It's interesting, but I don't know how important it is. As the majority owner, Vivek Ranadive is the most important person in that organization, because success in the NBA starts at the top. And after him, it's GM Pete D'Alessandro, because you need talent to win and right now, this team doesn't have enough of it. If the new Kings are still the old Kings on the court, it won't matter what Shaq is doing. Sacramento fans are great and a new arena will be a boost for the franchise, but current stars will fill those seats better than a retired one.
Sekou Smith, NBA.com: Things can only get better for the Kings, who have languished in basketball purgatory for the past few years. And no offense to Shaq, but the franchise has another big man who is far more important to their future. The Kings need Cousins to be their center of attention now and for years to come. If adding Shaq to the ownership group means Cousins has someone inside of the organization he respects, someone whose voice carries weight with him as a mentor, then this whole #Shaqramento thing could pay off down the road. The attention spike for the Kings with Shaq on board is evident and already in play (the Kings got positive vibes across the basketball universe with Tuesday's announcement). But when the novelty wears off, that other big man is the one who will have to carry the Kings.
Lang Whitaker, NBA.com's All Ball blog: I think in a perfect world, Shaq becomes a public face and voice for the Kings ownership. Not that new majority owner Vivek Ranadive isn't capable of doing this on his own, but Shaq is one of the most recognizable brands in the world, and at the very least his involvement should give Sacramento a dose of much-needed excitement. In some ways it would be interesting to see Shaq take a role almost like a Vice President takes in the debate season, and becoming the person who takes shots at opposing teams. Because if anyone can talk a big game, it's the Diesel.
Davide Chinellato, NBA Italia: It's still difficult to think about Shaq not as a basketball player. But the Kings are a interesting organization in development right now, and the Big Diesel could help them out in making the right calls. I'm not only talking about mentoring Cousins, the best talent in Capitol City, Calif., but bringing the winning mentality Shaq had throughout his whole career.
Philipp Dornhegge, NBA Deutschland: I'm really looking forward to this. The NBA was a great place when the Kings were relevant, and I'm optimistic that the franchise is moving in the right direction. New ownership, new coach, new front office — and now Shaq and a new arena in a couple of years: This will all help to bring the Kings back to where they were a decade ago. And Shaq might also help turn Cousins into the franchise player that he is supposed to be. Great news all around.
Stefanos Triantafyllos, NBA Greece: Putting Shaq in the mix (in any mix) is always fun. And interesting. The team former known as "Sacramento Queens" (Shaquille's words, not mine) has a new boss. Even if he is part owner, Shaq is the real deal — the true superstar — and everybody should be excited to have him around the hardwood once again. And because of what might come out of him, to be honest, I don't know if it will better (from a fan's perspective) if the Kings win or lose from the start.

New York Cupcakes asked me back to photograph more of their delicious creations. We decided to go for lots of color and I thought it would be great to shoot everything from above for a different perspective and to really showcase all the colors.
Photographing the cupcakes and milk from above was easy, but that table was a different story! Not only do I not like heights, but climbing on a ladder while wearing a dress and cute boots is really not a bright idea. The idea was mine though, so I have no one to blame but myself. I'm really happy with the end result so it was totally worth it. :)
You've heard the phrase "Tea for Two" but doesn't "Cupcakes for Three" sound so much yummier?

It's been a few weeks since I wrote anything, and I'm sorry… Sometimes there are just not enough hours in a day… other times there is just not enough energy left in me :-)
I haven't been sleeping too well… most mornings, I'm up at the ridiculous hour of 2 or 3 am!!! I remember the days when that wasn't even close to my bed time… in fact it was probably the time I would start considering heading home… long gone are those days… and now my sleep times have reversed!
The good thing about being up so early is witnessing the most beautiful skies… just before the sun comes up… and here is a picture I took last week from my balcony at some un-Godly hour! :-)
Pretty dramatic! So I guess that's my consolation prize for being up half the night! :-)
I'm also attempting, yet again, to stop smoking… I've cut down from 30/day to 3/day and I'm hoping that by the end of the week I will have managed to stop completely (again!) :-) I'm really trying… but i have to say that the insomnia is not helping the cause…
So you would think that with all this lack of sleep I would be up all night beading… wouldn't you?…. well no… not really… I try and utilize that time catching up on my forever-growing list of e-mails that need to be answered… however, some beading has taken place… I'm working on 3 pieces at the moment… one I'm stuck… one I'm trying to work out the right necklace for…. and one I have to find the right clasp in order to finish it off… Here is a preview of the last one:
Almost finished, but not quite! :-)
Also, here are this week's BAO Items:
My item this week is:
Venus in Green Bracelet – OOAK
Purchase and pay for this item between now and 14th January and receive 15% off!

And one last thing…. I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy new year!!!! :-)

Matthew Wright went through one bitter divorce and even though he fell in love again, he didn't think he would marry again. But when he nearly lost his then-girlfriend, he knew he didn't want to live without her.
We don't know much about Matthew Wright's first wife. They divorced in 2000 and according to him it was an acrimonious divorce battle. He has spoken about his first marriage in passing, but one gets the impression that it's not a topic he tends to dwell on.
In fact, after his bitter divorce, he never wanted to get married again.
From past comments one may want to guess that money was a bit of an issue in his first marriage. Matthew said that his wife started her own PR firm as soon as they had married. But that didn't actually work out. And since she didn't return to work after that, it was up to him to pay all the bills, even though the two continued with separate accounts.
He also said that he had a significant credit card debt by the time the marriage was over and he used some of the money from the sale of their marital home to pay off that debt.
After his divorce he was determined to remain a bachelor. He certainly dated and had relationships, but marriage was out of the question.
Then he met Amelia Gatte at a garden party in 2007. The two fell in love and started a relationship. But when they did become serious, he also informed her of his plans to remain unmarried and childless. Not even moving in with his girlfriend seemed an option.
But sooner than he himself would have expected it, he was forced to realise that he couldn't imagine life without her and indeed wanted to marry her.
The reason he changed his mind was the fact that Amelia nearly lost her life. A few days after a miscarriage she collapsed and doctors discovered that she had carried twins, one of which had remained undiscovered and gone ectopic, then ruptured.
Amelia nearly died, but after some major surgery, she recovered successfully. Faced with the prospect of nearly losing her, Matthew discovered that he didn't want that at all and three months after the nearly fatal incident she moved in with him.
In 2011 the couple got married in the Caribbean.
Amelia can now only conceive via IVF, but Matthew said they would try that. Thus far that has not been successful, though we don't know how long or even if they have tried. Obviously that's intensely private and Amelia is still only in her mid-thirties, young enough not to have to worry too much.
Matthew calls Amelia is soulmate and there's no doubt that she was worth waiting for and breaking his own promise to himself.

RTI's SURFiR Receives 2012 CEDIA Electronic Lifestyles(R) Manufacturer's Excellence Award for Best N
Remote Technologies Incorporated (RTI) announced that the company's SURFiR companion remote was honored with a 2012 CEDIA Electronic Lifestyles(R) Manufacturer's Excellence Award for Best New Product at CEDIA EXPO 2012 in Indianapolis. Award winners were determined by a diverse panel of CEDIA reside
SHAKOPEE, Minn. -- Sept. 12, 2012 -- Remote Technologies Incorporated (RTI) announced that the company's SURFiR companion remote was honored with a 2012 CEDIA Electronic Lifestyles(R) Manufacturer's Excellence Award for Best New Product at CEDIA EXPO 2012 in Indianapolis. Award winners were determined by a diverse panel of CEDIA residential electronic systems contractor (ESC) judges on the criteria of innovation, value to the technician, value to the business, and impact on the client's lifestyle.
"CEDIA EXPO 2012 was a memorable one for RTI. Not only were we celebrating our 20th anniversary, but we also introduced more new products than ever before. Taking home a CEDIA Best New Product Award for our SURFiR companion remote was a perfect way to end this amazing experience," said Pete Baker, vice president of sales and marketing for RTI. "By addressing the limitations of using a tablet or smartphone as the primary controller for an electronics system, the SURFiR really highlights RTI's commitment to integrators by creating innovative solutions for professionally installed electronic systems. RTI won a Best New Product Award last year for the RTiPanel app, and we are honored to have another cool product recognized with such a prestigious award."
RTI's SURFiR is designed for use with an iPad(R), iPod touch(R), iPhone(R), or Android(TM) device running the RTiPanel app. Providing an affordable alternative to dedicated touchpanel controllers, the low-cost companion remote allows users to incorporate these touchscreen devices that they already own as the graphical interface for their control system, while adding the convenience of "instant on," tactile control with hard buttons, and eliminating the numerous screen swipes needed for control tasks that require frequent interaction.
The SURFiR conveniently keeps track of the device that is being controlled by the smartphone or tablet. This allows users to enjoy many of the other benefits of their mobile device, such as checking emails, reading news feeds, and accessing social media apps, while still having convenient and intuitive control of their electronic system. A stylish hand-held remote sporting a contemporary look and feel, the SURFiR can be used with any of RTI's XP control processors, and requires minimal programming for ESCs.
In addition, RTI's KX7 in-wall color LCD touchpanel was a recipient of a Custom Retailer EXC!TE Award. Presented annually by Custom Retailer magazine, the EXC!TE Awards pay tribute to products that stand out for being innovative, high-performing solutions oriented to the custom-installation professional.
At CEDIA EXPO 2012, RTI introduced new and enhanced solutions in nearly every product category, including new control processors, handheld and in-wall controllers, audio and video distribution solutions, HDMI(R) video matrix switchers, the new APEX control platform, and much more.

If there was ever a doubt, Merlot is back! This is especially true in the southern section of Napa Valley, where this noble grape variety thrives in the warm growing conditions near the San Pablo Bay. A great new expression of this style is crafted by winemaker Barry Singer, a devoted fan of this famous grape variety from the Bordeaux region in France.
From the very first sniff, the new Singer Cellars 2014 Merlot pulls you right in with scents of high tone red fruits, wild berries, mocha, vanilla bean, and fine French oak. In the glass, these enticing aromas lead to lively flavors of ripe raspberry, red cherry, plum, pepper, and roasted black walnuts. Equally important is the fact that the wine is very elegant, complex with a mixture of soft, velvety texture; firm tannins; and a long finish, which makes every sip that much more complex and enjoyable.
Try this wine with fig, prosciutto and roasted nuts; grilled salmon; gourmet sausages; juicy burgers with sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions and gruyere cheese; turkey with all the trimmings; and slow-roasted pork tenderloin.

(for bikes already fitted with Ventura L Brackets)
Ventura's famous Bike-Pack Systems are world renowned for value and quality. All of Ventura's luggage kits are individually engineered for each model. You can rest assured that there is sound engineering behind your Ventura Bike-Pack System.
ASTRO 32 litre Top-Box kit are the first hard motorcycle luggage from Ventura. The designers and engineers at Ventura have continued the Ventura phylosophy of the Bike-Pack system, for the first time offering a lockable hard luggage system that helps with mass centralisation by carrying the load as close to the centre of the bike as possible. Especially when riding solo as it can be mounted forwards over the pillion seat to improve mass centralisation. Having the luggage positioned in this way also reduces wind resistance, which helps maintain handling and manoeuverability of your bike.
The ASTRO Top-Box kit includes mounting hardware, the Top-Box mounting rack and ASTRO 32 litre Top-Box, which includes a unversal mounting plate plus easy to follow instructions so you have everything you need in one box to get your luggage on board and hit the road in no time.
ASTRO and existing Ventura racks can be swapped over in seconds. ASTRO can also be reversed to sit over the pillion seat on many models to improve mass centralisation.
ASTRO can be purchased separately for motorcycle models which have a substantial OEM rear rack already fitted. ASTRO Top-Boxes are lockable and come with a universal base plate and mounting hardware included (even when purchased as model specific complete kits).
Approximate dimensions 400 x 400 x 340mm.

1. Set Sail toward your Vision
The first step is to create at least one strategy to realize your Vision.
2. Now
There are two points in this step. The first is to focus on the present because now is the only time you can take action. The second point is that you must understand the current status of your efforts to realize your Vision.
3. Path to Activating the Vision
The overall job of making your Vision a reality is huge, even with a good strategy. Use the power of the 80/20 rule and chunking to break your effort down into manageable tasks – and figure out which are key.
4. Taking steps along the way
This step applies three concepts from Agile Development Methodology – Iteration, Pivot and Validated Learning – to accomplishing your tasks quickly.
5. How do you Read the Roadmap?
If you are creative, there simply might not be a roadmap. There are still ways to track your progress.
6. Keep it Going!
Momentum builds with success. Embrace the magic that momentum creates.

|Boise, Idaho
The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association, in conjunction with Jim Longden, the owner of Vapoligy (a Boise e-cigarette store) and several Boise e-cigarette users, successfully campaigned to get truthful and accurate information about e-cigarettes to the Boise City Council members, which resulted in the exclusion of e-cigarettes from ordinances which ban "smoking in bars and private clubs, near bus stops or other transit areas, on outdoor commercial patios accessible to children or on public property, at the Grove Plaza, on 8th Street from Bannock to Main streets, within 20 feet of a City of Boise-owned building and in other public locations" and "within 20 feet of the Boise Greenbelt, except in designated areas within Ann Morrison and Julia Davis parks and the Warm Springs Golf Course."
Alameda, California
Alameda City Council was considering a comprehensive smoking ban; which included electronic cigarettes in the definition of "smoking." This would have prohibited the use of e-cigarettes everywhere smoking was not allowed - including condominiums, outdoor bar patios and beaches.
CASAA called for members to urge the City Council to remove e-cigarettes from the proposed ordinance and arranged for locals to make public comments at the Council's first reading. Due to these efforts and those of local e-cigarette merchants, e-cigarettes were removed from the ordinance until more information could be provided to the Council.
Seattle, Washington
The Seattle Housing Authority would have banned e-cigarette use "in individual apartment homes or the common spaces of a SHA community or facility of any type, unless otherwise specified."Hawaii
Members heeded CASAA's Call to Action and according to the office of Tom Tierney, SHA's Executive Director, the flood of emails and calls from "individuals who contacted our office about electronic cigarettes" has influenced the SHA to "recommend that we allow the use of electronic cigarettes in the proposed policy for all housing developments."
Hawaiian legislators proposed a bill to not only ban the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors, but to also cause all components of electronic cigarettes to be taxed at 70% of wholesale. CASAA worked with a Hawaiian-based electronic cigarette company local consumers to prepare presentations before the
CASAA argued that implementing such a punitive tax in Hawaii would not only discourage smokers from switching to a much less harmful and less costly cigarette alternative, it would result in most local retailers to shut down or relocate, while encouraging e-cigarette consumers in Hawaii to buy online from companies located outside the state. Rather than gain tax revenue, Hawaii would lose sales tax revenue and numerous jobs.
The Tennessee House Agricultural Committee passed a bill that bans the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors, however the devices will remain legally available for sale to adult smokers in Tennessee.
CASAA became interested in the legislation when it was alerted that Section 18 of an earlier version of Tennessee House Bill 1729 would have made it a Class B Misdemeanor, punishable by a $10,000 fine, to sell electronic cigarettes to any citizen, regardless of age.
A letter sent by CASAA to members of the Tennessee House Agriculture Committee helped convince them to remove Section 18 before passage.
After a bill to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes until they "are deemed certified or legal to sell by the FDA" sailed through the Illinois Senate on a 49-4 vote, CASAA members gathered to give testimony at a hearing before the Illinois House Human Services Committee. After hearing the testimony, Committee members decided that they needed more time to become familiar with the topic before making any decisions. The bill ultimately never made it out of committee.
State Rep. Constance Howard, D-Chicago stated, "I just wish there was something like these around before my mother died."

Are you thinking to become a small farmer? If it is, then I am gonna appreciate your decision because I know the importance of small farmers and their contribution of the local economy. However, I am here to give you some advices that may help you in the future.
Tips 1: Don't be afraid to ask:
Once you have decided where you will be farming, must contact the other farmers in that area so that you can discuss with them and learn the soil condition, climate, crop verities and more. And most importantly, they may give you some secrets of farming for that area.
Tips 2: Leave your ego and be patient:
Farming has a long learning curve. Although you have got advices from local farmers and read all the books of farming, it will take some time to be a successful farmer. Let say, a farmer is farming for ten years, which means he has done this only ten times. So for farming, you need to be patient.
Tips 3: Start now:
If you have made your final decision to become a farmer, then start now as it will take plenty of time to be a master in this area. You don't have land right now? Then start at your balcony with a container where you can experiment with an easy-to-grow crop.
Tips 4: Let the land decide:
If you have well researched on farming, then you might have known how important soil and climate conditions, and water resources are. So don't insist to grow a particular crop. Research on the land and analyze which crops can be suitable for the land. Also see other farmers what are they doing.
Tips 5: Divide it up
For farming, you must be serious so if you have partners, then be clear about the individuals' responsibilities as it is going to be an income source.

Ryan Adams
he was awesome last night. just him, solo, acoustic, really really captivating...
has anyone seen him/is anyone going to see him on this tour?
i didnt actually see any touts outside the venue, but there are tickets on ebay, and i actually overheard someone say they managed to get a return; try contacting the venue.
and yeah, very varied setlists, and lots of rambling; but thats the whole point of a ryan adams gig, hes always done it, and it helps make it great; hes a really funny guy.
but yeah, id definitely recommend it, i mean, you dont get many chances to see him solo these days...
the setlist was really varied
something from every album (except rock n roll, although he's been bring tracks from that out at other dates) and four new songs in liverpool!
Of course I'm going.
I'd have to be dead or in jail not to go.
Those wouldn't neccasarily stop me either
Hell yes...
Going to Bristol on Tuesday and London Friday.
see ryanadams.org for the various set lists of the shows so far. But it's varying wildly each show - he is playing material from all the way thru his solo carrer and some new stuff.
The shows are very very shambolic tho - playing for between 2 1/2 - 3hrs a night of which and 1hr to 1 1/2 hrs is Ryan rambling on. Lots of people have been pissed off by this and felt ripped off - saying that he was taking the piss - others reckon it's always been like that and you just put up with it cos it's ryan adams.
That said - when he does sing play and get it right every report i've read said he is amazing.
Ryan always rambles and tells stories.
People should know this.
saw him in gateshead
it was really good
so good, i went and got some more radams this week
only down point was a woman in the seat behind my friend going "ryyyyyyyyyyyyan, ryyyyyyyyyyyyan, ryyyyyyyyyyyyan" for almost the entire length of second set he played
I shall be at Bristol with a big giant smile on my face :)
I'll be there with a bigger smile.
It's just you.
i guess you're deaf.
was meant in a nice joking way, just so you know.
i went to the nottingham gig on friday
and i thought he was fantastically entertaining. i'm not really a big fan, got my fella tickets and went along with him, but i was pleasantly surprised. the chatting between songs was half the fun! i'd much rather the act i was watching let a bit of personality shine through than just play their songs and nothing else. i could just put a cd on if i only wanted to hear the songs!
I think he's....
I'd rather be dead or in jail than go.
So we have all parties accounted for.
i saw him in liverpool on saturday night
not only did my lady manage to get us row 2 tickets (!!!!ujfhfh!!!1) but he walked past me outside and I had an emo spazz attack.
he was amazing, though. he played 'call me on your way back home' at the end of the first set and it was like sticking pins into my heart, it was THAT good.
london on friday. london on friday. LONDON ON FRIDAY.
did you see Paulie, or Mia and Josh?
The more I hear from 'those-who-are-doing-all-the-dates' the more excited I'm getting.
Friday is going to be AWE-some.
by a bizarre twist of fate
mia and josh ended up sat behind me. i turn around and josh was stood behind me, which was a surreal turn if ever i've had one...
I am also there on Friday
If you hear somebody shouting out "GUUUUUUUUUNTRIIIIIIIIIIP!" during the set then it will probably be me
if you hear someone shouting "JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKSONVILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE SKYYYYYYYYYYYLIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!" during the set it will be me. I insist you copy me.
I'm going in a few hours.
i am very excited...
several of my friends
met him yesterday.
He said he liked Elli's shoes.
I met him in 2004.
He seemed sad.
He was happy tonight.
Andn he palyed a good gig/
I heard some Ryan Adams today
And it was teh sex. I was impressed.
He was fine as,,,
i dont get ryan adams. tell me ONE track that is likely to make me stop thinking he sucks
even better you could ysi it...
'call me on your way back home'
if that doesn't get to you, you HAVE NO SOUL.
I think he's
And has too many girlfriends.
Well i think you're foolish.
And one can never have too many girlfriends...
can if they then country-whine about them a lot.
When he made a happy album everyone hated it and made him do sad albums again.
And he doesn't whine as much as say Oberst...
believe conor oberst though. Ryan Adams isn't convincing.
says you.
I am convinced.
why's he changing the tone of his albums due to popular opinion. That's rubbish.
thats just silly. his whiskeytown and early solo stuff was very alt-country. then he released gold, which was much less so. then rock n roll and love is hell (ignoring unreleased stuff obviously) which werent at all. but then he released last year cold roses, which was a lot more country, then jacksonville city nights which was his most country album ever. then he released 29, which was a bit less country.
sorry, but there is no trend whatsoever from which you can justify such a foolish statement.
I was
working on the basis of fullerov's "when he did a happy album everyone hated it and made him to sad albums again".
I was mainly being facetious, with the last comment. But I was serious that I find him unconvincing. I have lots of his albums and they leave me cold.
Yes you were being facetious.
In no way did I imply that he changed his musical style to satisfy people....
what did he play last night?
Dear Chicago, Damn Sam, Come Picke Me Up, Rescue Blues, Let It Ride.
Loads more and a few new songs
Don't Get Sentimental
Sweet Lil Gal
Everything Dies
Please Do Not Let Me Go
My Winding Wheel
Damn Sam
Whay Do They Leave (aborted)
Hey There Mrs Lovely
Who Were We?
Set 2
Let It Ride
The End
Dear Chicago
The Rescue Blues
I See Monsters
Cold Roses
Come Pick Me Up
and then apparently he played in a bar or something afterwards.
Mr Wolfs.
I'VE played there...
thats such a good setlist.
damn sam + dear chicago + come pick me up + the rescue blues + shakedown + sweet lil gal + some of why so they leave.
plus, please do not let me go is great the way hes being doing it, and theres some other awesome songs. plus the bar thing is amazing.
dont get me wrong, notts was great, but the setlist was nothing next to that... so jealous...
IN OTHER NEWS i just won an auction for heartbreaker on vinyl. over fifty pounds. oh dear.
hated it and made him do sad albums again"
ditto on that.
that song
is possibly my favourite. although its too hard to choose. definitely up there though...
i think we should intercept him after london and make him play somewhere else. what do you think?
I fear that my after-show drinking plans are going to be hijacked by Glen/Mia/Josh/KJ going ryan hunting.
You know the best place for him to play? MY BEDROOM. For sure. He'd love it. I might even tidy for him.
i saw him outside in liverpool
surreal moment walking towards the venue when i realised he was RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME walking in my direction. i was like "that's.. ryan.. adams. walking this way". emo spazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz attack or what?
flat gigs are for WINNERS. my flat would be good, i can give him the beer in my fridge i'm never ever going to drink.
apparently theyre slowly releasing some more, i guess there are returns or something, its a long shot, but if you're desperate, try it...

Bending Toward the Sun: A Mother and Daughter Memoir by Leslie Gilbert-Lurie 2009
Leslie Gilbert-Lurie has written a memoir that captures her mother's experience as a hidden child during World War II and how that trauma affected her mother's life and the lives of her children and grandchildren. Gilbert-Lurie divides her story into three sections. The first she calls "In Mom's Voice (1937-1960)," the second is "My Own Voice (1960-1997)," the third is A Joint Venture (1997-2008).
The author's mother's story is the most emotionally compelling of the three sections because of her traumatizing experiences during World War II. During 1942-1944 Rita Gamss and more than a dozen of her extended family lived in the attic of a Polish farmer' house. She was five years old when they moved in and she remembers many details vividly. The ceiling was so low the adults could not stand upright, and there was no plumbing, heating or electricity in the attic. They could not talk above a whisper and had to keep their movements to a minimum. They had to rely on the farmer and his wife for food which became very scarce, and the farmer often pleaded with them to leave because in sheltering Jews he was jeopardizing the safety of his own family. Life was so difficult during their confinement in the attic that some family members became ill and died.
When, in 1944, they were able to leave, the children who had survived in the attic had stunted growth. Many of them crawled out and had to re-learn how to walk upright. Rita Gamss returned with what was left of her family to her home but it was clear they could not stay - the family was not safe because the hostilities between the Russians and Germans were still being played out. What started then was a journey through many displaced persons camps where they scoured lists of survivors to find their relatives and where they tried to plan a future.
Eventually they made it to The United States from their last camp in Italy. Life in the states was difficult. Rita Gamss' father was an Orthodox Jew and refused to take a job that required him to work on Saturdays. Rita was miserable at home with a step-mother she felt wasn't interested in her. Eventually she met her future husband, married, moved to California and raised a family, but suffered from anxiety and depression, what many researchers now say are aspects of post traumatic stress disorder.
Leslie Gilbert-Lurie's section is primarily about her relationship with her mother and her conviction that having grown up with a mother who had been so traumatized had affected her own sense of well-being. At various times both mother and daughter went into therapy and Leslie was most interested in the term her therapist used to describe the family life she described to him: he called her family "enmeshed." The author's mother was always worried about her family's safety. Leslie grew up not wanting to leave home because she learned from her mother not to feel safe. She also lived with a lot of guilt and felt she had to protect her mother whose life had been so full of suffering.
In part III Gilbert-Lurie discusses her inquiries and research. She reports on her daughter's anxieties and her interviews with her siblings and with cousins of her mother, including those who were still alive who had hid in the attic with her. Gilbert-Lurie and some of her relatives went to Poland to visit their families' homes and to meet with the wife of the farmer who had hidden them.
This memoir includes many family photos as well as a family tree.

Mother and Me: Escape from Warsaw 1939 by Julian Padowicz 2008
When Hitler invaded Poland, Julian Padowicz was a seven-year-old growing up in Warsaw, the privileged son of a well-connected family. Immediately his step-father and uncles joined the Polish army and before he knew it his mother gathered him up, and along with her two sisters-in-law and their children they fled Warsaw in a truck commandeered from the family factory. They took food and money and they sewed their jewelry into secret compartments in their clothes.
Padowicz, who finally immigrated to the U.S. with his mother, tells this story with great skill, telling it as a seven-year-old would have experienced it: his fears, his confusion, the alternating love and disdain he had for his mother. He has included comic moments that remind us that despite the hardships they endured, he was, after all, only seven and not totally aware of the precariousness of his situation. Part of his confusion and humor has to do with his being Jewish but his having been brought to church and taught Catholic prayers by his beloved governess who spent more time with him than his mother did. His being Jewish in a Catholic country is a thread throughout the story and he is constantly trying to sort this out.
His use of dialogue reflects a talent for fiction; it is clear he is dramatizing scenes he remembers and fleshes them out with believable dialogue. He says in the beginning that he doesn't remember everyone accurately and since he experienced those he met along the way the way a seven-year-old would have experienced them, he has changed the names of characters who are important to the story he is telling, but who are not fully formed figures in his mind.
One of the points his story demonstrates is that leaving Warsaw was the right choice, but that leaving in and of itself did not guarantee survival. Money went only so far when there was little or no food to be had. You get the sense that his mother and his aunts did everything they could to protect their children and to keep them from being scared, but they often were desperate for food and firewood. Padowicz overheard conversations between his mother and other adults that helped him to know more than he was being told.
This memoir is a tribute to his mother who took risks that paid off for both of them, risks her sisters-in-law were not ready to take. When she needed to deal with the Russians they encountered everywhere, she spoke to them in perfect Russian, telling them her mother came from Moscow. Befriending, flattering and flirting with all authorities who she thought might be able to help her, she also tried to play on their sympathy for a mother and child traveling by themselves. In this way, along with her cash, she got them out of Ukraine and into Hungary which was still free. This is where this part of the story ends. The continuation of their story is in Ship in the Harbor which was published in 2009.

Memory by Philippe Grimbert published in French in 2004 with the title The Secret; published in English in 2007
"Memory, deserved winner of the Prix Goncourt, may well take its place among the best of the "autofictions," that particular French genre that combines the tenets of autobiography with the freedoms afforded by the novel." from a review by Alexis Soloski in the Village Voice 2/26/08
As Grimbert tells the story, when he turned fifteen he inadvertently found a "clue" in the attic and from then on the story of his family's past unraveled. Some of what he learned was that his athletic father identified more as a Frenchman than as a Jew; he did not believe until it was too late that he would suffer at the hands of the Nazis. His father was sure that the Nazis were only interested in rounding up those Jews who were foreigners, those who had fled Eastern Europe ahead of the Germans and had poured over the borders into France.
Much of the novel is the story of the extended family's flight from Paris in France's occupied zone south to France's free zone. First the men of the family fled; then the women and children followed. Grimbert tells the story with much insight, and also with much suspense.
Grimbert's psychoanalytic training seems put to good use, though it is not obtrusive. It is quite clear that he feels knowing the story helped him better understand his parents and it also helped him form a more authentic identity.
He ends the story with a contemporary anecdote about finding himself in a pet cemetery with his daughter. The beloved pets eulogized on gravestones by relatives of Laval, a collaborator in the Vichy government, elicit an anger in him that is informed by what he knows about his family's past.
To see a trailer for the French film made from the novel, click here.
To read an interesting article in which Grimbert talks about why he wrote his family story as fiction and in which he discusses what is fictionalized, click here.
Grimbert says he has changed names in the novel. He also says he father changed the family name from Grinberg to Grimbert.

His father was sure that the Nazis were only interested in rounding up those Jews who were foreigners, those who had fled Eastern Europe ahead of the Germans and had poured over the borders into France.
Much of the novel is the story of the extended family's flight from Paris in France's occupied zone south to France's free zone. First the men of the family fled; then the women and children followed. Grimbert tells the story with much insight, and also with much suspense.
Grimbert's psychoanalytic training seems put to good use, though it is not obtrusive. It is quite clear that he feels knowing the story helped him better understand his parents and it also helped him form a more authentic identity.
He ends the story with a contemporary anecdote about finding himself in a pet cemetery with his daughter. The beloved pets eulogized on gravestones by relatives of Laval, a collaborator in the Vichy government, elicit an anger in him that is informed by what he knows about his family's past.

Grimbert says he has changed names in the novel. He also says he father changed the family name from Grinberg to Grimbert.

The Boy: A Holocaust Story by Dan Porat 2010
Dan Porat, whose parents fled Germany before the war, is a professor at Hebrew University. Because his specialty is visual representations of the Holocaust, he became especially interested in the iconic photo of a young Jewish boy being rounded up by the Nazis in the Warsaw ghetto.This photo is on the cover of this book.
This book is not a memoir, but Porat read many memoirs as part of his research. His original intention was to try to uncover the identity of the young boy, a task others have attempted as well, but he states in his introduction that after completing all the research, he has no definite answers to the boy's identity. But he uses this picture to examine some of the history of the Warsaw ghetto through the lives of five people: three Nazi agents and two Jewish ghetto residents.
The most important of the three Nazi agents he focuses on is SS General Jergen Stroop who was sent by the Nazis to deal with the ghetto uprising. After leveling the ghetto, he wrote what came to be known as the Stroop Report for which Stroop provided the title: "The Warsaw Ghetto Is No More." The report included many photos to document Stroop's accomplishments, including the one of the little boy. The report was sent to Himmler, and Stroop was awarded the Iron Cross which he coveted.
Porat also tells the story of Austrian SS officer Franz Konrad who was in charge of the appropriation of Jewish property in the ghetto and instrumental in its liquidation. And he tells the story of the only one of the three who actually appears in the photo: SS soldier Josef Blosche can be seen in the background aiming his gun at the little boy who has his hands raised.
The two Jewish residents whose stories he tells are Rivkah Trapkovits Farber and Tsvi Nussbaum. Rivkah Trapkovits Farber's connection to the photo is tenuous. She wrote a memoir which has been published in Israel that suggests to the author that she might have been a witness to the roundup documented in the photo. Rivkah Trapkovits Farber's story is one version of many such lives lived in the ghetto and in hiding. Her story is remarkable, starting with her active membership in Kibbutz Lodz-Borochov. When Lodz was invaded, she and other members fled to a similar Kibbutz in the Warsaw ghetto, but before long those who congregated in the ghetto kibbutz were living a precarious life which included hiding from Nazis who were searching for resisters and violators of ghetto rules. Their hiding place eventually exposed, she and others were herded onto cattle cars destined for the Majdanek concentration camp. But Rivkah jumped off the train and lived by her wits, posing as a peasant woman until the war was over.
There has been much debate over the years about whether Tsvi Nussbaum, now living in New York City, is the boy in the photo. Porat tells the story of the Nussbaum family, how Tsvi came to be orphaned when his parents were sent to death camps, how he went with an aunt to the Hotel Polski on the Aryan side of Warsaw where they were promised exit visas, how the Nazis had tricked them, rounded them up and carted them away, how he managed to survive the rest of the war, how after the war he was one of 186 orphans who sailed to Palestine on the Mataroa.
In Porat's slim, well documented, book he gives a textured account of the convergence of a number of disparate people in the Warsaw ghetto. The significance of the photo is that the unidentified Jewish boy represents all of the innocent victims of Hitler's Final Solution.
This memoir includes A Glossary of Terms, A Prologue, and an essay called On Photographs, History, and Narrative Style, It also includes a lot of documentation which appear in endnotes which list many memoirs, especially in Hebrew that Porat consulted. There is also a very helpful Index.

A Film Unfinished: The Warsaw Ghetto as Seen Through Nazi Eyes written and directed by Yael Hersonski 2010 (documentary)
Most of this documentary, by the Israeli writer/director Yael Hersonski, is archival footage shot in the Warsaw Ghetto filmed by photographers working for the Nazis but never released. Discovered in a warehouse in 1954, various clips have circulated and been incorporated into other documentaries. There are scenes of the Jewish head of the ghetto Adam Czerniakow receiving Orthodox Jews in his office, and scenes of an elaborate dinner held in his home. There is a segment that shows a circumcision. Also included are street shots of impoverished, emaciated Jewish children and adults begging, while well-dressed residents of the ghetto walk by seemingly ignoring them. And there are shots of corpses lying unclaimed in front of shops and in gutters as ghetto residents go about their business.
It was clear that many scenes, especially the indoor ones, were staged. Adam Czerniakow took part in the staged scenes but kept diaries which are quoted in the documentary explaining the fraud that that was being filmed. In 1998 more definitive evidence that confirmed the staging was found on a reel languishing in a warehouse that shows multiple takes of some scenes, demonstrating that some were rearranged and re-shot so that the Nazis could maximize the effect they were after.
At the same time that we are watching the film and the outtakes, five Warsaw ghetto survivors who now live in Israel are also watching. The archival film is stopped occasionally to get their reaction to what they are seeing. Some add details that they remember.
Although the film was shot for propaganda purposes and much of its contents cannot be trusted, the roving camera allows you to get see many of its residents in close-ups and in crowd scenes and it's possible to get a sense of what parts of the ghetto looked like.

Paris metro to get multimillion clean28th of October 2013
Paris' metro system is to have a multimillion euro clean toeradicate bad odours and make the capital's underground system more bearable.
Parisians have long complained about the awful smell wafting through the underground corridors - as well as the litter and general grime. Now Pierre Mongin, head of the RATP group that operates the public bus, metro and overground lines in the Paris area has promised to stop the stench and "guarantee his passengers clean areas and trains throughout the day" with results "visible by all" within 18 months.
He has pledged to invest 70 million euros per year over five years for a major clean-up of the network. From this month there will be 3,400 monthly spot checks by grime inspectors on the daily work of the 1,000 cleaning staff employed by RATP, with bonus points or black marks against them depending on results.
The inspectors will be responsible for upholding a "higher standard" of cleanliness and odour removal in Paris' 1,000 trains and 369 stations.
In the coming two years, the RATP will spend a further 40 million euros on an 'anti-leakage' programme to stop dirty water dripping entering the underground causing clammy air, mouldy walls and slippery floors in around 70 stations.

Greetings from snowy Estonia. I have some spring cards to share with you :) But something else first...
Yesterday morning it was nice Autumn day. A bit chilly (+4o C) and it didn't rain. I thought it is good time to replace my car summer tires to winter tires before the snow. I contacted with car service and they said I can bring my car to them on Friday one PM. Now I know that I should go there a day earlier. On afternoon it started to snow. It's not fun at all to drive with summer tires on slippery road. Luckily I got home safely. I hoped that by the morning, snow is gone. But no. It kept coming all night and morning, then I started to drive back to work, snow fall went so heavy that it was hard to see the road. I usually drive to work less then 10 minutes, today it took 20 minutes. But at least I got there in one piece :)
I'm very please with my car service. On 9.30 a man from there came to my office and said: "May I have your car keys, I'll go change the tires for you?" What an excellent service! I don't have to worry about a thing :) Joy of living in a small town. So by the time I should have drive my car to the service, I had it back already.
Ok, now to the main reason why I made this post. If you follow Beccy's Place you know that yesterday she shared a big set of new digis. The Sentiment Mini Set contains 20 images, each with it's own little sentiment in plain text below the image. I used only images because I don't need much cards with English text on them.

Maybe it's his self-deprecating humour (a hallmark in us lapsed Catholics) or maybe it's because he wears his pop culture influences literally on his sleeves, head and chest but in my mind Kevin Smith doesn't get enough credit for his work. So you wanna smirk when I pitch the idea that Smith is not just a cinematic auteur but a cultural one?
Let's go back to 1994. Redbank, New Jersey. The Quik Stop no less and the semi-biographic, and fully erect comedy Clerks. It's true that most first works are biographical in nature. Self aware and raw certainly, but twenty-two years on Clerks still gives amazing insight into the man behind Silent Bob. It's not just that Dante works in the Quik Stop (Smith's old stomping ground), or that he plays hockey, or that his word hole is perpetually filled with more words than most people use in a week of conversation. There's a down-to-earth realness that Clerks typifies and the remainder of his work either has or eludes to it.
|Just because they serve you, doesn't mean they like you.
Mallrats is a cultural milestone for thirty-something cinephiles like myself. Yo, when'd you first watch Mallrats? is a question I have been asked; and answered. It's not just that he uses a lot of the same actors as Clerks, along with drafting in repeat collaborators Ben Affleck, Jason Lee and one-time girlfriend Joey Lauren Adams. Smith is a self-admitted comic book nerd. Mallrats is many things but at the core, where Clerks was a love letter to his beginnings, it's an homage to comic books. To Batman, and Walter Flanagan for reintroducing him to the Caped Crusader. It's a life long obsession with superheroes' junk and reproductive problems. It's also the tale of a man trying to take the step to become that man but being trapped in the lost generation of comfort, convenience and the universal expectation that all young men should be at college; where previously all young men were expected to be in the military.
|Don't you think he looks like the guy from Phantoms? That shit was the bomb, yo!
Many of us Smith fans were of a certain age when Chasing Amy arrived. It spoke to us in language that allowed serious, emotional issues to be discussed without our macho facades being pierced. At it's heart Chasing Amy is a film about insecurities. They're the ticking clock in any relationship and Smith transforms his into a film... not a movie, but a film. Does it resonate linguistically like a Antonioni film? Or a Goddard film? No, but it doesn't have it. It's his voice. Humour is his shield for most things, and when you get him talking about his talent it's never more evident. We're given a glimpse of a more mature Smith, a man who has found his manhood (fnar) but now has to confront the fragile edges of that manhood as he searches for love. It's beautiful, and the fact that it's populated with dick jokes and comic books doesn't make it any less of a piece of art.
|He's a cool guy, just don't look him in the eye and don't fuckin' mention Reindeer Games.
It's somewhat fitting that the two most controversial movies of recent years (from the point of view of the Vatican) were made by Roman Catholics; The Passion of the Christ and Dogma. The two directors couldn't be further apart on the personality spectrum, but they're bound together by their religion. One is a literal interpretation of the big guy's book, the other is a soul-searching introspective comedy projected out into the world in order to pose questions about idols, culture and where we as a species have gone wrong. Smith is a braver man than is given credit for being; perhaps even braver than he realises. Wearing your religious school badge in Hollywood can prove kiss or death. I mean, sure it doesn't hurt the weirdo sci-fi religions, or the Jewish performers but ask Jim Caviezel how he went from hot shit to cold diarrhea almost overnight. It's to his credit that Smith made, released, and weathered the Dogma storm without ever losing sight of himself. It would be easy for the knocks to change you. To make you a more guarded, private film-maker but if anything Smith has gone the other way. Comic Book Men, numerous podcasts and all the presenting work he's been doing for DC/Warner is testament to the fact that Smith's life, like his movies, are filled with good humour, hockey and holy rosaries.

Nonlinear Highlights
Nonlinear Research
Nonlinear Dynamics, Granular Media and Earthquake Triggering
In our work we hypothesize that the dynamic, elastic-nonlinear behaviour of fault gouge perturbed by a seismic wave may be responsible. We base our hypothesis on recent laboratory dynamic experiments conducted in granular media, a fault gouge surrogate. From these we infer that, if the fault is already in a weakened state, seismic waves cause the fault core modulus to abruptly decrease and weaken further. If the fault is already near failure, the process could induce fault slip. Supporting our hypothesis are recent stick-slip laboratory experiments where elastic wave excitation is applied.
Our experiments indicate that elastic waves of strains of order 5x10-5 can cause shear weakening. Recent seismic observations show that a "triggering threshold" exists at strain amplitudes just over 10-6, corresponding to where we observe the onset of elastic nonlinear behavior in the laboratory. Long rang goals include continued testing of the hypothesis with laboratory stick-slip experiments and seismic observations.
Work being conducted in collaboration with Joan Gomberg of the USGS and Chris Marone of the Geosciences Department at the Pennsylvania State University

A typical day in Minneapolis
Okay, I'm still a law-abiding citizen, but while I was visiting my super-bloggy friend Melissa from Two Little Tots yesterday and a police officer pulled up to enjoy her neighborhood block party, I figured, "Oh, I have a take a photo here."
Because nothing says My-First-Midwest-Visit like having your photo taken next to the cruiser of a a nearly 7-foot tall police officer from the Twin Cities.

Friday 30th September 2016
Dear Parents & Guardians,
During the week of the 31st October the college will be screening a presentation of a film 'Kayleigh's Love Story' followed by a Q/A session with specially trained external staff. This is a short but hard hitting dramatisation of the online grooming and subsequent death of Kayleigh Haywood from North Leicestershire and is being rolled out to all schools across the Leicestershire and Rutland areas. It will be available for parents to come and watch in the evening before being shown to all students at some point during that week. The parental viewing is to allow parents the opportunity to opt their child out of the screening if they wish. I will send details nearer the time and you will be given the opportunity to opt your child out even if you are not able to attend the preview. There is a preview available on the Leicestershire Police website https://leics.police.uk/categories/kayleighs-love-story. I have seen the film myself and although it is hard hitting it does communicate a very important message that all our young people should be aware of.
NHS England has commissioned Leicestershire Partnership Trust (LPT) to deliver routine childhood immunisations to all children who attend a Leicestershire or Rutland school and reside in Leicester, Leicestershire or Rutland. Students in Year 9 are being offered the Teenage Booster and Meningitis ACWY vaccine - to do this they need to have the date of birth and address of each student in Year 9, to ensure all students are offered the immunisation. This information is confidential and held only by the LPT. If you DO NOT wish me to release your child's address to the LPT please could you let me know by Friday, 7 October? If you would like further information on the Immunisation programme please go to the following website: http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations or telephone: 0300 3000 007.'
