It was no doubt with some trepidation that the organisers of Summer Nights at La Pedrera watched a menacing bank of clouds roll towards the Casi Milà rooftop last Saturday. But, fortunately for organisers, band and audience alike, it remained dry throughout the evening and by 9:30pm, the sky was illuminated by an extraordinary sunset which served as a dramatic backdrop for the entire performance.
In a city bursting with spectacular views, Casi Milà (popularly known as La Pedrera "the stone quarry") still has a powerful ability to impress – and would have done so even without the spectacular dusk sky. This view offers a 360' panoramic of the city and it was breath-taking to stroll around the perimeter and take in the lofty heights of Tibidabou, the deep blue of the Mediterranean, and the sprawl of the city itself from such am unrivalled vantage point.
Nonetheless, the pièce de résistance of the evening was the live jazz performance by Barcelona-formed band, the Black Barbies. Fronted by the charismatic Desiree Diouf, the group dazzled with an impressive setlist which included classic jazz pieces alongside their own renditions of popular hits, adapted to incorporate elements of soul, funk, jazz, and blues. Whilst Desiree's voice was the centre of attention, every musician displayed considerable talent and managed to provide their own individual entertainment. For example, the evening was punctuated by captivating solos from the bassist, saxophonists, and guitarist who demonstrated exceptional adaptability in their abilities since they progressed from one genre to another with seamless ease.
The unconventional layout of the Gaudí rooftop lent another layer of individuality and charm to the event since the audience were spread out over the steps and walkways surrounding the band. People can sit within a few feet of the musicians and enjoy the music in this informal, relaxed environment which was unlike any typical concert. Indeed, the contrast between the guests dressed in smart and elegant attire, sipping the complimentary cava, and the haphazard seating arrangement highlighted the uniqueness of the night and in some ways reflected the unconventional Gaudí architecture itself.
Besides the Black Barbies, the building itself was a form of entertainment in its own right. Before ascending to the rooftop, guests are treated to a visual tour of the ground floor of La Pedrera and are allowed a free visit to the Espai Gaudí – an attic which combines intelligent design and visually appealing construction, 270 catenary arches holding up the rooftop above. On display here are scale models and plans of Gaudí's projects along with photographs and videos to educate the visitor on the great architects life and work.
Summer nights at La Perdera run every Friday and Saturday from 9 June to 9 September 2017.

1 Solid waste management Introduction to solid waste management Solid waste is the unwanted or useless solid materials generated from combined residential, industrial and commercial activities in a given area. It may be categorised according to its origin (domestic, industrial, commercial, construction or institutional); according to its contents (organic material, glass, metal, plastic paper etc); or according to hazard potential (toxic, non-toxin, flammable, radioactive, infectious etc). Management of solid waste reduces or eliminates adverse impacts on the environment and human health and supports economic development and improved quality of life. A number of processes are involved in effectively managing waste for a municipality. These include monitoring, collection, transport, processing, recycling and disposal. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Methods of waste reduction, waste reuse and recycling are the preferred options when managing waste. There are many environmental benefits that can be derived from the use of these methods. They reduce or prevent green house gas emissions, reduce the release of pollutants, conserve resources, save energy and reduce the demand for waste treatment technology and landfill space. Therefore it is advisable that these methods be adopted and incorporated as part of the waste management plan. Waste reduction and reuse Waste reduction and reuse of products are both methods of waste prevention. They eliminate the production of waste at the source of usual generation and reduce the demands for large scale treatment and disposal facilities. Methods of waste reduction include manufacturing products with less packaging, encouraging customers to bring their own reusable bags for packaging, encouraging the public to choose reusable products such as cloth napkins and reusable plastic and glass containers, backyard composting and sharing and donating any unwanted items rather than discarding them. All of the methods of waste prevention mentioned require public participation. In order to get the public onboard, training and educational programmes need to be undertaken to educate the public about their role in the process. Also the government may need to regulate the types and amount of packaging used by manufacturers and make the reuse of shopping bags mandatory.
2 Recycling Recycling refers to the removal of items from the waste stream to be used as raw materials in the manufacture of new products. Thus from this definition recycling occurs in three phases: first the waste is sorted and recyclables collected, the recyclables are used to create raw materials. These raw materials are then used in the production of new products. The sorting of recyclables may be done at the source (i.e. within the household or office) for selective collection by the municipality or to be dropped off by the waste producer at a recycling centres. The pre-sorting at the source requires public participation which may not be forthcoming if there are no benefits to be derived. Also a system of selective collection by the government can be costly. It would require more frequent circulation of trucks within a neighbourhood or the importation of more vehicles to facilitate the collection. Another option is to mix the recyclables with the general waste stream for collection and then sorting and recovery of the recyclable materials can be performed by the municipality at a suitable site. The sorting by the municipality has the advantage of eliminating the dependence on the public and ensuring that the recycling does occur. The disadvantage however, is that the value of the recyclable materials is reduced since being mixed in and compacted with other garbage can have adverse effects on the quality of the recyclable material. Waste Collection Figure 1. Colour coded recycling bins for waste separation at the source of production (source Waste from our homes is generally collected by our local authorities through regular waste collection, or by special collections for recycling. Within hot climates such as that of the Caribbean the waste should be collected at least twice a week to control fly breeding, and the harbouring of other pests in the community. Other factors to consider when deciding on frequency of collection are the odours caused by decomposition and the accumulated quantities. Descriptions of the main types of collection systems are given in the table below.
3 Table 1 Descriptions of the main collection systems. (Sourced from Collection-45656) System Description Advantages Disadvantages SHARED: Residents can bring out waste at any time Dumping at designated location Residents and other generators are required to dump their waste at a specified location or in a masonry enclosure. Low capital costs Loading the waste into trucks is slow and unhygienic. Waste is scattered around the collection point. Adjacent residents and shopkeepers protest about the smell and appearance. Shared container Residents and other generators put their waste inside a container which is emptied or removed. Low operating costs If containers are not maintained they quickly corrode or are damaged. Adjacent residents complain about the smell and appearance. INDIVIDUAL: The generators need a suitable container and must store the waste on their property until it is collected. Block collection Collector sounds horn or rings bell and waits at specified locations for residents to bring waste to the collection vehicle. Economical. Less waste on streets. No permanent container or storage to cause complaints. If all family members are out when collector comes, waste must be left outside for collection. It may be scattered by wind, animals and waste pickers. Curbside collection Waste is left outside property in a container and picked up by passing vehicle, or swept up and collected by sweeper. Convenient. No permanent public storage. Waste that is left out may be scattered by wind, animals, children or waste pickers. If collection service is delayed, waste may not be collected or some time, causing considerable nuisance. Door to door collection Waste collector knocks on each door or rings doorbell and waits for waste to be brought out by resident. Convenient for resident. Little waste on street. Residents must be available to hand waste over. Not suitable for apartment buildings because of the amount of walking required. Yard collection Collection laborer enters property to remove waste. Very convenient for residents. No waste in street. The most expensive system, because of the walking involved. Cultural beliefs, security considerations or architectural styles may prevent laborers from entering properties.
4 Treatment & Disposal Waste treatment techniques seek to transform the waste into a form that is more manageable, reduce the volume or reduce the toxicity of the waste thus making the waste easier to dispose of. Treatment methods are selected based on the composition, quantity, and form of the waste material. Some waste treatment methods being used today include subjecting the waste to extremely high temperatures, dumping on land or land filling and use of biological processes to treat the waste. It should be noted that treatment and disposal options are chosen as a last resort to the previously mentioned management strategies reducing, reusing and recycling of waste (figure 1). Figure 2 Solid waste management hierarchy (source
5 Thermal treatment This refers to processes that involve the use of heat to treat waste. Listed below are descriptions of some commonly utilized thermal treatment processes. Incineration Incineration is the most common thermal treatment process. This is the combustion of waste in the presence of oxygen. After incineration, the wastes are converted to carbon dioxide, water vapour and ash. This method may be used as a means of recovering energy to be used in heating or the supply of electricity. In addition to supplying energy incineration technologies have the advantage of reducing the volume of the waste, rendering it harmless, reducing transportation costs and reducing the production of the green house gas methane Pyrolysis and Gasification Pyrolysis and gasification are similar processes they both decompose organic waste by exposing it to high temperatures and low amounts of oxygen. Gasification uses a low oxygen environment while pyrolysis allows no oxygen. These techniques use heat and an oxygen starved environment to convert biomass into other forms. A mixture of combustible and non-combustible gases as well as pyroligenous liquid is produced by these processes. All of these products have a high heat value and can be utilised. Gasification is advantageous since it allows for the incineration of waste with energy recovery and without the air pollution that is characteristic of other incineration methods. Open burning Open burning is the burning of unwanted materials in a manner that causes smoke and other emissions to be released directly into the air without passing through a chimney or stack. This includes the burning of outdoor piles, burning in a burn barrel and the use of incinerators which have no pollution control devices and as such release the gaseous by products directly into the atmosphere (Department of environmental quality 2006). Openburning has been practiced by a number of urban centres because it reduces the volume of refuse received at the dump and therefore extends the life of their dumpsite. Garbage may be burnt because of the ease and convenience of the method or because of the cheapness of the method. In countries where house holders are required to pay for garbage disposal, burning of waste in the backyard allows the householder to avoid paying the costs associated with collecting, hauling and dumping the waste. Open burning has many negative effects on both human health and the environment. This uncontrolled burning of garbage releases many pollutants into the atmosphere. These include dioxins, particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic compounds, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, hexachlorobenzene and ash. All of these chemicals pose serious risks to human health. The Dioxins are capable of producing a multitude of health
6 problems; they can have adverse effects on reproduction, development, disrupt the hormonal systems or even cause cancer. The polycyclic aromatic compounds and the hexachlorobenzene are considered to be carcinogenic. The particulate matter can be harmful to persons with respiratory problems such as asthma or bronchitis and carbon monoxide can cause neurological symptoms. The harmful effects of open burning are also felt by the environment. This process releases acidic gases such as the halo-hydrides; it also may release the oxides of nitrogen and carbon. Nitrogen oxides contribute to acid rain, ozone depletion, smog and global warming. In addition to being a green house gas carbon monoxide reacts with sunlight to produce ozone which can be harmful. The particulate matter creates smoke and haze which contribute to air pollution. Dumps and Landfills Sanitary landfills Sanitary Landfills are designed to greatly reduce or eliminate the risks that waste disposal may pose to the public health and environmental quality. They are usually placed in areas where land features act as natural buffers between the landfill and the environment. For example the area may be comprised of clay soil which is fairly impermeable due to its tightly packed particles, or the area may be characterised by a low water table and an absence of surface water bodies thus preventing the threat of water contamination. In addition to the strategic placement of the landfill other protective measures are incorporated into its design. The bottom and sides of landfills are lined with layers of clay or plastic to keep the liquid waste, known as leachate, from escaping into the soil. The leachate is collected and pumped to the surface for treatment. Boreholes or monitoring wells are dug in the vicinity of the landfill to monitor groundwater quality. A landfill is divided into a series of individual cells and only a few cells of the site are filled with trash at any one time. This minimizes exposure to wind and rain. The daily waste is spread and compacted to reduce the volume, a cover is then applied to reduce odours and keep out pests. When the landfill has reached its capacity it is capped with an impermeable seal which is typically composed of clay soil. Some sanitary landfills are used to recover energy. The natural anaerobic decomposition of the waste in the landfill produces landfill gases which include Carbon Dioxide, methane and traces of other gases. Methane can be used as an energy source to produce heat or electricity. Thus some landfills are fitted with landfill gas collection (LFG) systems to capitalise on the methane being produced. The process of generating gas is very slow, for the energy recovery system to be successful there needs to be large volumes of wastes. These landfills present the least environmental and health risk and the records kept can be a good source of information for future use in waste management, however, the cost of
7 establishing these sanitary landfills are high when compared to the other land disposal methods. Figure 3 Main features of a modern landfill (source tml) Controlled dumps Controlled dumps are disposal sites which comply with most of the requirements for a sanitary landfill but usually have one deficiency. They may have a planned capacity but no cell planning, there may be partial leachate management, partial or no gas management, regular cover, compaction in some cases, basic record keeping and they are fenced or enclosed. These dumps have a reduced risk of environmental contamination, the initial costs are low and the operational costs are moderate. While there is controlled access and use, they are still accessible by scavengers and so there is some recovery of materials through this practice. Bioreactor Landfills Recent technological advances have lead to the introduction of the Bioreactor Landfill. The Bioreactor landfills use enhanced microbiological processes to accelerate the decomposition of waste. The main controlling factor is the constant addition of liquid to maintain optimum moisture for microbial digestion. This liquid is usually added by re-
8 circulating the landfill leachate. In cases where leachate in not enough, water or other liquid waste such as sewage sludge can be used. The landfill may use either anaerobic or aerobic microbial digestion or it may be designed to combine the two. These enhanced microbial processes have the advantage of rapidly reducing the volume of the waste creating more space for additional waste, they also maximise the production and capture of methane for energy recovery systems and they reduce the costs associated with leachate management. For Bioreactor landfills to be successful the waste should be comprised predominantly of organic matter and should be produced in large volumes. Biological waste treatment Composting Composting is the controlled aerobic decomposition of organic matter by the action of micro organisms and small invertebrates. There are a number of composting techniques being used today. These include: in vessel composting, windrow composting, vermicomposting and static pile composting. The process is controlled by making the environmental conditions optimum for the waste decomposers to thrive. The rate of compost formation is controlled by the composition and constituents of the materials i.e. their Carbon/Nitrogen (C/N) ratio, the temperature, the moisture content and the amount of air. The C/N ratio is very important for the process to be efficient. The micro organisms require carbon as an energy source and nitrogen for the synthesis of some proteins. If the correct C/N ration is not achieved, then application of the compost with either a high or low C/N ratio can have adverse effects on both the soil and the plants. A high C/N ratio can be corrected by dehydrated mud and a low ratio corrected by adding cellulose. Moisture content greatly influences the composting process. The microbes need the moisture to perform their metabolic functions. If the waste becomes too dry the composting is not favoured. If however there is too much moisture then it is possible that it may displace the air in the compost heap depriving the organisms of oxygen and drowning them. A high temperature is desirable for the elimination of pathogenic organisms. However, if temperatures are too high, above 75 o C then the organisms necessary to complete the composting process are destroyed. Optimum temperatures for the process are in the range of o C with the ideal being 60 o C. Aeration is a very important and the quantity of air needs to be properly controlled when composting. If there is insufficient oxygen the aerobes will begin to die and will be replaced by anaerobes. The anaerobes are undesirable since they will slow the process, produce odours and also produce the highly flammable methane gas. Air can be incorporated by churning the compost.
9 Anaerobic Digestion Anaerobic digestion like composting uses biological processes to decompose organic waste. However, where composting can use a variety of microbes and must have air, anaerobic digestion uses bacteria and an oxygen free environment to decompose the waste. Aerobic respiration, typical of composting, results in the formation of Carbon dioxide and water. While the anaerobic respiration results in the formation of Carbon Dioxide and methane. In addition to generating the humus which is used as a soil enhancer, Anaerobic Digestion is also used as a method of producing biogas which can be used to generate electricity. Optimal conditions for the process require nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, it requires that the ph be maintained around 7 and the alkalinity be appropriate to buffer ph changes, temperature should also be controlled. Integrated Solid Waste Management Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) takes an overall approach to creating sustainable systems that are economically affordable, socially acceptable and environmentally effective. An integrated solid waste management system involves the use of a range of different treatment methods, and key to the functioning of such a system is the collection and sorting of the waste. It is important to note that no one single treatment method can manage all the waste materials in an environmentally effective way. Thus all of the available treatment and disposal options must be evaluated equally and the best combination of the available options suited to the particular community chosen. Effective management schemes therefore need to operate in ways which best meet current social, economic, and environmental conditions of the municipality.

About 337,000 people of French Antillean Origin live in metropolitan France today. Unlike immigrants from North Africa, Turkey or sub-Saharan Africa, Antilleans are French citizens with deep roots in French history. Indeed, the Caribbean Islands they come from have been a part of France for over three centuries. Antilleans were for many years an invisible population, dispersed throughout the Paris region, with few community organizations and little political activism. Beginning in the early 1980s, however, activists in the Antillean community began to recognize that their status as citizens would not protect them from the growth of racism in France. From neighborhood groups interested in promoting traditional Martinican and Guadeloupan dance and music to politically charged associations, these new cultural militants denounced French colonialism, challenged racism, and demanded political representation. Black Skins, French Voices is situated at the intersection of changing French ideas and policies regarding ethnic diversity and Antillean demands for recognition. It shows the creative and exciting struggles of Antilleans to remake French culture on their own terms.

Quetiapine drain
Uncertain mind
Needing to see safety
Caress of her body
Holding her soul
A fragile porcelain she constructs
We eat, but still hunger
Lack of iron, for no sleep
Twisted familial blood apathy
Ejaculating seed, for what?
To stagnate, the itch, the bruise
The bleed, a need, want, necessity
Us, them, ache and frustrate
Naked, lie prone, weak
Through others misguidance
To take others suffering
Sibling envy, confused
Body breaking with anxious cold
A year departs.

Congressional Republicans have introduced what is known as the John Doe provision in the Homeland Security bill that protects individuals who report suspicious activity that could be seen a terrorism related from being sued.
This provision was created because of the six flying Imams who were turned in by passengers in Minnesota because of their actions before boarding and immediately after boarding a flight out of Minneapolis. Their actions included, speaking of 9/11 with reference to Usama Bin Ladin, seating in a similar fashion as the 9/11 attackers, asking for and not needing seat belt extenders which to was an action performed by the 9/11 attackers, just to name a few of their actions.
Now the Imams are suing those who turned them in. While most believe that the case will eventually be thrown out of court each of the defendants will be forced to expend a massive amount of time and money defending themselves.
Homeland Security encourages individuals to report any suspicious activity, but if anyone reporting is in danger of being sued for doing his/her civic duty, obviously reporting will end and one day activity that should have been reported will actually be the real thing.
Citing no reason House Democrats excluded the John Doe provision from the Homeland Security bill even though the amendment passed overwhelmingly 304 - 122 in March. GOP Representative Peter T. King stated , "Democrats are trying to find any technical excuse to keep immunity out of the language of the bill to protect citizens, who in good faith, report suspicious activity to police or law enforcement."
Obviously Democrats are more interested in protecting possible terrorists than United States citizens who feel duty bound to help protect this nation.
In a never ending attempt by Democrats to accuse, attack and find something illegal in the Bush administration, Democrats are playing before the cameras a proposal to bring contempt charges against former White House legal counsel Harriet Myers and White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten.
The contempt of Congress citation is yet another in a long line of investigation over the firing of 8 federal prosecutors who serve at the discretion of the President and whose job performance was in question by the White House.
The White House has claimed executive privilege concerning the testimony of Myers and Bolten and both have indicated they would testify in private on their knowledge of the firings. But of course that is not enough for Democrats who want a show trial over firings that were not illegal and were well within the authority of the Executive Branch.
This is just another opportunity to play this in the media. The contempt citation has no authority in light of Executive privilege since it is long known that any Presidential advisor must have the freedom to be allowed to give the President honest and straight forward advice without the danger of being cited by Congress during a witch hunt for political reasons.
The public could care less about this show trial and understand that the White House acted within its authority in the firings. But as usual Democrats can't walk away from an opportunity to bash Bush and get their cohorts in the MSM to spill the garbage they create over the airways.
In a recent New York Times/CBS poll, ( how much more liberal can you get), in all categories, Republican, Independents AND Democrats, support for Iraq is rising. In May 35% of respondents said going into Iraq was the right thing to due. In the poll that has risen to 42%. The percentage of those who believe that things are going very bad in Iraq has declined from a high of 45% earlier this month to the current figure of 35%.
So how do Democrats respond to this, in light of their claim that they , "speak for the American people ? " In another attempt to thwart US involvement in Iraq the House today is voting on a bill that will prevent the US from establishing any form of permanent base in Iraq EVEN IF THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT REQUESTS IT !
They are also gearing up once again for a repeat of the withdrawal amendments that are scheduled to start hitting both the Senate and the House floors after the August vacation break which ends with the Labor Day weekend.
Yep, the people are starting to see the truth about Iraq and understanding the necessity of being there, while wising up to the political agenda of Democrats, but still the Dem's follow the same old format and keep spewing the same old false rhetoric. That is a Democrat for you!

Where We Play
Central FC currently play and train at King George V playing fields, Countess Wear, Exeter EX2 6HE on Saturday mornings.
King George V
Directions - King George V (KGV) is easy to get to. From the motorway follow the signs to City Centre - as you approach the first (Countess Wear) roundabout get in the right-hand lane towards City Centre and take the third exit. About 100 metres along Topsham Road, just before a bus stop, is the turn off to the feeder road to KGV. From the City Centre get on Topsham Road and go past the Crematorium, Northbrook Pitch & Putt, Poppies Florists and just after a set of traffic lights prepare to turn right into the feeder road for KGV.
The main car park is by the changing rooms (the changing rooms should be open by 10.00 a.m.). The council have improved access to the car park recently but it can get very busy and you might want to use the rear car park instead. The two red gates and the main entrance must be left clear so access by emergency vehicles is easy. Please do not park in the spaces allocated for disabled parking unless you have the appropriate badge.
Rear Car Park from Main Car Park - turn left onto Topsham Road - turn left after Poppies Florists into School Lane. Turn left again at Tally Ho! pub and entrance is about 200 metres on your left.
There is always ample parking available in this car park and it is recommended that on busy Saturday mornings if you are late you try and park here as there simply may not be any spaces in the main car park.
The diagram below shows where the various age groups normally play but this can change if the pitches become worn or waterlogged
On Street Parking - Near the main entrance, by the traffic lights Tollards & Southbrook Roads and near the Rear Car Park, Exe Vale Road and Counte Wear Road. Please park carefully in these streets.

Growing up, I hated reading. My large stack of Garfield comics were the closest "books" I read as a kid. Perhaps these were early signs that I was attracted to visual storytelling, a hint to my eventual future as a filmmaker. However, I think it's simply that there weren't many stories that captured my imagination. It wasn't until my dad recommended George Orwell's 1984 that I found literature that spoke to me and held my very short attention span. I discovered my attraction to dramas, often choosing something serious over something funny. (Comedies are very scarce in my DVD collection.)
Around the same time period, I discovered Alan Moore's The Watchmen and Judith Guest's Ordinary People, my two favorite novels. On one hand, both works handle vastly different subject matter. The Watchmen follows a group of aged masked heroes who are investigating the death of one of their old partners. Ordinary People recounts a personal tragedy and how a whole family copes. However, both books shaped my new perspective on storytelling. Instead of seeing stories as a collection of scenes, I instead saw characters making decisions and reacting to events.
The Watchmen in particular bridges my past with the present, a graphic novel with impactful imagery and mature storytelling. It wasn't just a superhero comic. It's a meditation on aging, legacy, the Cold War, ethics, morality, the blurred lines between good and evil, and humanity's ability to destroy itself. It digs deeper than most novels I've read, and there's still plenty of thrills, twists, and suspense to keep you sucked in. Most of all, it's about people trying to come to terms with decisions and events beyond their control. It's what I like to call an "intimate epic". The Watchmen started my love for human storytelling, influencing my work in documentary filmmaking and interest in journalism and nonfiction.

October brings the second anniversary of Flamingo Scraps! Keep an eye on their blog and find them on Facebook to see some fantastic prizes, contests and giveaways! The layout below was created using the Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante line, purchased from FS, of course. They have a wonderful Vintage/Steampunk Grab Bag chock full of old and new lace, metal parts, trims, and more. The lace and metal watch parts on my page came from the grab bag. It's kind of hard to see, but I misted Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist around a square mask in the center of my page.
October also brings my turn as the Guest Design Team! I'm so excited. Fellow DT'r Diana and I were introduced on the blog on October 1. Diana will be guest blogging on Tuesdays and I will be posting photography and Photoshop tips on Thursdays.

An estimated 12,500 runners ran 13.1 miles through Brighton and Hove this morning (February 26), raising cash for charities in Sussex and beyond.
The Brighton Half Marathon began at 9am, with international DJ and Brighton resident Norman Cook sounding the starting klaxon - before joining the race himself.
Paul Martelletti, who has won the men's race for the past four consecutive years - and holds the course record of 64.53 - announced he was unable to run this year due to an injury, but he did join the commentator at the finish line to cheer runners on.
His absence left the race wide open for other elite men's runners, and by mile nine there was a battle between five runners in front.
It was a sprint to the finish line at Madeira Drive, but coming in first was Jonathan Tipper, 36, from South London, who completed the course in 68.37 seconds - a personal best.
He said: "It's amazing. I was absolutely not expecting that."
Coming in second was Stuart Hawkes at 68.43, and in fifth place was Neil Boniface at 68.55.
The winner of the women's elite race was Eleanor Davis from Cornwall, who set a course record at 74.26.
She said: "I am really stoked. I wanted to get under 75 minutes. It's a personal best."
In second place was Emily Proto coming in at 81.27 followed by last year's winner Sarah Hill at 81.34.
Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim told the Brighton & Hove Independent it was his seventh Brighton Half Marathon and said: "I had a good one."
He added: "As you go past the end of your road sometimes there's the temptation to stop for a cup of tea. But the local support... they make you run faster when people shout your name."
The race began at Madeira Drive, with runners passing the Palace Pier, the Royal Pavilion and St Peter's Church, before heading back down Grand Parade onto the Old Steine and turning left onto Marine Parade.
The race then heads out east towards Ovingdean towards the Blind Veterans UK centre, and then back west towards Brighton, past both the piers.
Runners then made their way along the Kings Road to Hove Lagoon before turning left onto the seafront. A two-mile run past the beach huts of Hove brought runners back to the Peace Statue, where the race rejoins the road for the last dash past cheering crowds to the finish on Madeira Drive.
This year there was also a wheelchair race for the first time in the Brighton Half's history, and a mini-mile for youngsters.
The Brighton Half Marathon is run by HIV charity The Sussex Beacon, starting in the 1990s as a fundraising event, featuring just 200 runners. Now it attracts thousands of runners, supporting dozens of charities.

General Engineering
Undecided on which path to take? Why not apply for our general engineering programme, spend 1 year studying a broad range of subjects and specialise into one of our other programmes from year 2.
If you are unsure which engineering discipline or degree to choose, then one of our general engineering programmes is for you. They are a deferred choice programme which means students study across the main engineering disciplines of Aerospace, Civil, Industrial Design and Mechanical Engineering in the first year before choosing which discipline to specialise in.

Bangladesh's central bank governor Atiur Rahman resigned on Tuesday following demands of accountability from the government after US$81 million was stolen from the bank's US account in one of the largest cyber heists ever.
Rahman, who returned to Dhaka late on Monday after attending a weekend International Monetary Fund conference in New Delhi, told Reuters that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had accepted his resignation.
The government also fired two deputy governors of the bank, Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith said, days after blaming it for keeping the government in the dark about the theft.
Rahman, 65, said he resigned to set an example in a country where there is not much precedence of accountability and to uphold the image of the central bank.
"I took responsibility," Rahman said.
A former finance secretary, Fazle Kabir, would be the new governor, the finance minister said.
Unknown hackers breached the computer systems of Bangladesh Bank and attempted to steal US$951 million from its account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which it uses for international settlements, between Feb. 4 and Feb. 5.
They managed to transfer US$81 million to entities in the Philippines, and the money was further diverted to casinos in that country.
More than US$30 million of the money that was stolen was handed over in cash to an ethnic Chinese man in Manila, a Philippines senator looking into the suspected laundering scheme said.
The businessman, identified as Kam Sin Wong or Kim Wong, has left the Philippines even before the story about the infusion of the money into the country's banking system broke, the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported.
Bangladesh Bank officials have said there is little hope of apprehending the perpetrators and recovering the money would be difficult and could take months, Reuters said.
Rahman's exit could be a blow to Bangladesh, a South Asian nation of 160 million.
The country has been aspiring to reach middle-income status, and Rahman was seen as one of the driving forces helping Dhaka towards that goal.
A former development economics professor, Rahman took over as the central bank governor in May 2009, and was nearing the end of his second term.
One of his signature achievements has been shoring up the country's foreign exchange reserves, which have increased four-fold to US$28 billion under his watch.

I can't get enough.
Styling chambray with a fancy gown is genius. (Thanks to Free People)
It looks more sophisticated when worn with camel or black dress pants.
While denim on denim used to be a HUGE pet peeve of mine, when mixing a lighter fabric, like chambray, it looks updated and easy.
I haven't work overalls since elementary school, but with nothing underneath and a chunky necklace they look much cooler than they did with the turtlenecks and big barrettes that I used to pair them with.

One way to save money at Disney World is to buy your souvenirs before you leave home and avoid the exorbitant prices in the parks. It is common to see t-shirts for $29.99 and a pack of pencils for $8.99. Lots of people just cough up the money and figure it is part of the vacation, but it truly doesn't have to be!
Here is where I commonly get Disney souvenirs to take with us and bring out once we are there:
- Dollar Tree and Target for markers, stickers, glow sticks, etc.
- Second-hand clothing sites such as Swap.com and Schoola for Disney t-shirts or pajamas
- Target, Walmart and Children's Place also have Disney clothing
- Occasionally DisneyStore.com will offer nice deals
Through tomorrow The Disney Store is offering 30% off all Disney Parks products plus free shipping as long as there is a Disney Parks product in your order.
For example, get this Official Walt Disney World Autograph Book for
$5.56 plus free shipping. I think they are around $12 in the parks. Having characters sign the book when you meet them is a great way to relive memories once you are home!
Or this Mickey Mouse tee for boys is
$13.29 after the 30% off and free shipping. A little expensive for a t-shirt in my book, but WAY better than $29.95 and the quality of Disney Parks items is excellent, far better then what you will get at Target.
Good luck grabbing some souvenirs before you leave home!

A Shropshire Lad is not A poem, it is a collection (the intelligentsia call it a cycle) of over 60 individual poems which, as far as I have so far been able to tell, are all written as if by a young man from that county. Mayhap I've not yet read sufficient, but what I have read so far seem rather melancholic. Like this, possibly one of the better known:
Into my heart an air that killsI don't think I have ever been to Shropshire, which is rather a pity as I understand it is a county of glorious countryside.
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Two Washington County residents died early Saturday morning when the car they were in ran off Alt. U.S. 40 south of Hagerstown and hit a tree, Maryland State Police said.
Alcohol and driver's error are believed to be factors in the accident that occurred shortly after 2 a.m. at Cool Hollow Road, according to a press release issued by state police and Washington County Emergency Services. The investigating trooper could not be reached Saturday for further details.
The driver, Frank William Thompson III, 28, of 1535 Crest View Ave., was pronounced dead at the scene, state police said.

Today we are getting ready for school tomorrow!
The lunchboxes are clean and waiting to be filled
The brand new alloy drink bottles are cleaned out and in the freezer so there will be a nice cool drink in the heat
The uniforms, togs, towels and school bags are washed and on the line
Just waiting on the alarm tomorrow to get the kids up!
Andrew is excited for the FIRST time in 3years!
He is off to a NEW school with all his after school care friends and his little brother.
I am happy, but also wondering if I have made the right choice in taking him out of his previous school (due to bullying) and putting him in a new school.
Only time will tell.
Happy Sunday (or Saturday)!
Much love

Determining the fundamental unit of a pure cubic field given any unit

Abstract: A number of algorithms which have been used to derive fundamental units for pure cubic fields suffer from the lack of absolute certainty that the units obtained are fundamental. We present here an algorithm which will correct this deficiency. Briefly, if is any nontrivial unit of a pure cubic field, then for some positive integer will be a fundamental unit. Our method determines which of the real numbers are integers of the field and, subsequently, will determine the coefficients of the fundamental unit. We illustrate the process with several numerical examples.
