After my short detour to cold, mountainous Chavin it was back down to the hot sunny coast for the next archaeological site. This one is located a 45 minute drive inland from the nearest town, Barranca, where I'd checked into a nice hotel and arranged with one of the security/doormen for him to summon me a taxi, there being no regular public transport where I was going. I ended up in rather tatty car driven by a young man (presumably a friend or relative of the aforementioned doorman) with a penchant for '70s Anglo-American rock, which was just fine by me. I sang along as we bounced down the unmade roads.
The car park for Caral-Supe, also just called Caral, is some distance in the hot sun from the actual entrance. First there is a walk along the Supe river (which you can cut out by taking an incredibly bumpy but cheap horse and trap ride) followed by a hike up through sand dunes. I reached the entrance only to find that a group guided tour is compulsory and that there were no other visitors at all other than two people who are already on their tour. I was escorted to the top of a dune and pointed in the right direction to catch them up, otherwise who knows how long it might have been before another tour set off.
Caral is 5000 years old and, along with related settlement sites in the surrounding area, the earliest centre of civilization in the Americas. The site contains remains of stone and earth platforms and pyramids, temples, houses and sunken circular plazas. There was once an expansive residential area thought to house around 3000 people, although that is not particularly visible. The site was only rediscovered in the mid 20th century having been covered by windblown sand and the ongoing excavations began much more recently.
Much of the structure of the platforms and pyramids is made up of rubble in the form of small rocks that were transported and put into the construction in net bags, which can still be seen in the excavations and are of course great for carbon dating. Another important organic find from the site is a quipu, one of those groups of knotted cords that were used for recording information.
The actual structural remains are not vastly impressive in themselves but the informative and bi-lingual interpretative panels include helpful artists' impressions of each structure and the entrance sign has a great aerial photo of one of them.
I don't have the right parts to do justice to the circular plazas, so the Lego model is of a pyramid such as this one:
and looks rather underwhelmingly like this:

Think that doing a quick same day edit on wedding photos is a crazy idea? Photographer and Snapshots Global Brand Evangelist Brian Adams would have to strongly disagree!
Over the past 14 years of his photography career, Brian has seen firsthand how social media and technology has changed guest behavior at weddings. As he explains, "Mobile technology has gotten so good that you can actually take a really decent photo or video with your phone. In most cases the guest photos are the ones that are being seen first."
While clients love seeing pics from their friends and family right away, this has had an adverse effect for most photographers. According to Brian, "My work and my branding is not in front of as many eyes as it used to be. That was a huge marketing tool for me. The only way I can survive as a photographer is to book the next wedding and get that next client."
Ultimately, the opportunity for collaboration and immediacy is what attracted Brian to Snapshots. From his perspective, "Snapshots is actually allowing me to make up for all of those eyes that I've lost in the past. Not only will guests see my photos they will know I took them."
Despite many photographers complaining about guest photography at events, Brian prefers to embrace collaboration because, "it benefits pro photographers, it benefits the wedding guests, and best of all: It benefits my clients! Everyone ends up working with each other for the couple's sake, instead of against each other […] I enjoy encouraging everyone to get involved."

On Sunday we began considering what it looks like when heaven comes to earth. You can listen to the sermon by clicking here. Here are a few thoughts for reflection on what was preached on Sunday.
I said that I felt that God had challenged me to aim for us to be a church of 100.
How do you feel about that?
- Can you imagine what this would look like? What types of people can you see God bringing into our congregation?
- How can you prepare to invite them in?
- How can you prepare to receive them in?
I spoke about the difference between what we read of Jesus in Matt 9, where He performs 4 major miracles in 16 verses and what we see in our church over the last few years. This reminded me of something I was challenged by at the Randy Clark conference, namely does our experience inform our expectation which in turn informs how we read scripture or do we read scripture which informs our expectation and which leads to a greater experience of God's real power?
- What holds the greater influence over your expectation of what God might do, your experience or the word of God?
- Has your recent experience dampened or excited our expectation of God's working in and through you?
- Do you believe the works of Jesus in scripture transfer directly into the modern world we live in? If so how, if not why not?
I spoke about the difference between Jesus walking with us and us walking with Jesus.
- What is the general characteristic of your life and lifestyle? Are you doing your own thing and expecting God to bless what it or are you looking to see what God is doing and leaving what you feel is important to do that?
- Are there areas of your life where God doesn't come first? If so what are you going to do about it?
- What does it mean to you to 'seek first the kingdom of God'?

The recipients of a share of game-changing multi-million pound grants for technology projects in Leeds are being selected.
The deadline has now passed for applications to the £3.7m Tech Hub Grant, being offered by Leeds City Council.
And Coun James Lewis, Leeds City Council's executive member for resources and strategy, said the number of applications by digital projects in the city totalled a massive £23m.
He told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "Since it was announced that applications were open for businesses to bid for funding from our £3.7m Tech Hub Grant to support a variety of digital projects in Leeds, the interest from the sector has been really high.
"I am delighted to say that the overall quality of the bids which we received were excellent and totalled a massive £23m.
"This just highlights how difficult it is going to be for us when we have to sit down and make our final decision on which projects to support through our Tech Hub Grant."
The grants will be used to support a range of innovative digital projects across the city.
The Yorkshire Evening Post recently launched its Digital City platform in partnership with Sky Betting & Gaming.
The platform is designed to highlight the giant strides being made by a sector that boasts around 3,000 organisations in Leeds.

Politics abhors a vacuum.
In 2019 the People's Party filled it.
Its platform called for getting big money out of politics ending 'crony capitalism' abolishing corporate welfare – stopping the revolving door between government and the private sector and busting up the big Wall Street banks and corporate monopolies.
The People's Party also pledged to revoke the Trans Pacific Partnership – hike taxes on the rich to pay for a wage subsidy (a vastly expanded Earned Income Tax Credit) for everyone earning below the median and raise taxes on corporations that outsource jobs abroad or pay their executives more than 100 times the pay of typical Americans.
Americans rallied to the cause.
Millions who called themselves conservatives and Tea Partiers joined with millions who called themselves liberals and progressives against a political establishment that had shown itself incapable of hearing what they had been demanding for years.
(ed:..and here in 2017..?..after/if we see the tories retake power or an incrementalist/do-s.f.a./power-for-the-sake-of-power labour coalition takes power..?
..and nothing much changes..?
..then things will happen here..and it will be the millennials who will drive it..(the age-group who face an ever bleaker future due to the minstrations/doings/ineptitude/selling-out of/by the neoliberal tory and labour parties..)
..it is this group who will have the least to lose and the most to gain from radical change..
..and of course the big advantage that most of them don't seem to realise is that this is eminintly do-able for them..driving that needed change..
..as like the baby-boomers before them..they are a population-bulge..those millennials..
..if you look at nz population broken into ages it looks like a double-ended mushroom..
..so if that worst-case scenario i depicted happens in 2017..i'm picking that anger from those millennials will be there to harvest..
..and it will happen..the question is who/which party will harness it..?..or will a new local peoples'-party form..?
..labour could ride that wave of change/answer that call..but clearly not in present form/policies/personnel..
..the greens could do it..but they will have to offer a coherent/costed tranche of radical-change..and i dunno if they are up for that..
..but if neither labour nor the greens step up to answer that call from the millennials..then as reich predicts for america..here also a new peoples' party will form..
..and it will be much easier here in nz..as we have mmp..
..and as an aside..should labour stay the same (controlled by neoliberals)..that is when we will see a grand coalition between the tories and labour..
..and as another aside..ya gotta feel for those in their 30's/40's..having spent their whole lives to date with the boomers in charge..dictating so much..
..as demographic-derived-power will pass them by..and go to those 'pesky' millennials..
..who will rule over them when the boomers kick the can..
..and as i noted..i don't think most millennials have woken up to these facts yet..
..and the sooner they do..and the sooner they take power..the better..i reckon..eh..?..)

Let's say you act for a service provider and the diagram below represents the number of variations you could offer to customers – the number that are technically supported by your solution.
That's 13,824,000 colours.
By comparison, the following diagram contains just 20 colours:
If I asked you what colours are in the upper diagram, would you say red, orange, yellow, green, blue, etc? Is it roughly the same response as to the lower diagram?
If you're the customer, and know you want an "orange*" product, will you be able to easily identify between the many thousands of different orange hues available in the upper diagram? Would you be disenfranchised if you were only offered the two orange hues in the lower diagram instead of thousands? Or might you even be relieved to have a much easier decision to make?
The analogy here to OSS is that just because our solutions can support millions of variants, doesn't mean we should. If our OSS try to offer millions of variants, it means we have to design, then build, then test, then post-sale support millions of variants.
However, in reality, we can't provide 100% coverage across so many variants – we aren't able to sufficiently design, then build, then test, then post-sale support every one of the millions of variants. We end up overlooking some or accept risk on some or estimate a test spread that bypasses others. We've effectively opened the door to fall-outs.
And it's fall-outs that tend to create larger customer dissatisfaction metrics than limited colour palettes.
Just curious – if you've delivered OSS into large service providers, have you ever seen evidence of palette analysis (ie variant reduction analysis) across domains (ie products, marketing, networks, digital, IT, field-work, etc)?
Alternatively, have you ever pushed back on decisions made upstream to say you'll only support a smaller sub-set of options? This doesn't seem to happen very often.
* When I'm talking about colours, I'm using the term figuratively, not necessarily the hues on a particular handset being sold through a service provider.Read the Passionate About OSS Blog for more or Subscribe to the Passionate About OSS Blog by Email

Things get lost and misplaced very easily in a cluttered space. But clutter doesn't happen overnight. Things have a way of building up slowly over time and you may not notice it until it becomes a problem. Sort of like gaining weight - it has a way of creeping up on you too.
Hire a personal trainer? No. But you can apply that concept to the fitness of your home. Like a personal trainer, a professional organizer can help you eliminate clutter and get your home "in shape" with organizing solutions that work best for you.
If you're like most women, you want your home to be organized. But getting there can be a challenge when you have a growing list of things to do and only have time to do what's most important to you.

DALLAS It's never too late to learn.
Members of Utah's polygamous communities are here to speak to social workers, Child Protective Services caseworkers and law enforcement about the plural life and how to interact with fundamentalists perhaps averting another raid.
Members of the pro-polygamy group Principle Voices and Utah's Safety Net Committee are presenting a pair of workshops today on polygamous culture to hundreds of people at the Texas Council on Family Violence's annual conference.
"Utah's made all the same mistakes," said Pat Merkeley, a social worker and the newly appointed coordinator for the Safety Net Committee, a coalition of polygamists, government and social service agencies from Utah and Arizona.
"Hopefully, we are building on the mistakes of our past."
The April raid on the Fundamentalist LDS Church's YFZ Ranch in Eldorado exposed a lack of knowledge about polygamists, at least among social service workers in Texas.
"We didn't have adequate knowledge to be able to effectively serve a plural family community," said Gloria Terry, the president of the Texas Council on Family Violence. "We didn't understand how we could best serve individuals in that community, because it is so different from the families that we typically serve that are in crisis."
In Utah, polygamy has a long and storied history. It is that history that Principle Voices' Anne Wilde is speaking about, focusing on the raids in Utah and Arizona in the 1930s, '40s and '50s.
"The result was those people did not give up their lifestyle or their religious belief in plural marriage," she said. "If anything, it made them more determined, more loyal to their beliefs than anything."
It also created closed societies, making it harder for victims to reach out and advocates to get in to help.
"Naturally, we don't want there to be victims and we are there to help them as well if there really are," Wilde said. "But I don't think you go into a whole community and do what they did with that raid in Texas in an effort to help the victims."
More than a hundred children remain under CPS jurisdiction as the abuse investigation moves forward. A series of criminal indictments have been handed down against FLDS members charging them with sexual assault, bigamy and failure to report child abuse.
Today's workshops are designed to give social workers and other professionals information as they go forward with the FLDS custody case, Terry said.
"In Texas, we are the system that supports the programs that provide services to families in crisis," Terry said. "I can't pass judgment on what did or did not happen by either side. We knew there were people who were negatively affected. How do we assist them?"
Merkeley is proposing that Texas consider creating its own "Safety Net."
"We're hoping that it will be a model for other states," she said.
Created by the Utah and Arizona attorneys general, the Safety Net Committee brings representatives from polygamous communities to the same table as government, while offering help to abuse victims in the often-isolated communities. As of January, the Utah Attorney General's Office estimated 1,300 people had been offered some kind of assistance through the Safety Net.
Since the YFZ raid, domestic violence coalitions in Utah, Arizona and Texas have been in regular contact with each other. Terry had praise for the Safety Net, which provides a host of resources for victims of abuse leaving a closed society.

Burlington police have made an arrest in an attempted robbery of a McDonald�s restaurant.
Christopher Gillis Wright, 41, of Graham, has been charged with one count of attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon. He was given a $20,000 bond.
Wright was charged at 12:12 a.m. Sunday on Hall Avenue in Burlington.
Wright is accused of entering the McDonald�s at 1829 N. Church St. early Saturday. Police say he placed a food order, then produced a debit card that was declined. When informed the card was declined, the suspect indicated he had a gun in his rear waist band and demanded the food and money from the register.
Once he learned police had been called, he left the building on foot and was last seen running toward Graham-Hopedale Road. He never produced a gun and there were no injuries.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the Burlington police at 229-3500 or Alamance County CrimeStoppers at 229-7100.

HOUGHTON sealed their first double of the season with a tight 7-5 victory at Seaham.
The victory sees Houghton still in second place in Durham Northumberland Three with an eight-point advantage over third-placed Newton Aycliffe.
Houghton were forced into making two changes to their front row just before the kick-off due to player unavailability, with Director of Rugby Chris Simpson having to make only his third start of the season at loose head and Ian Turnbull having to move up from the second team at tight head.
Houghton immediately put the Seaham defence under pressure in their own 22. In the third minute, after several promising moves, Houghton secured a line-out on the Seaham five-metre line.
Seaham won the line-out but an attempted clearance was charged down and Houghton's Ian Turnbull reacted first to score a try which was followed by a successful conversion from Simpson.
The Houghton try seemed to wake Seaham up and straight from the restart they had Houghton pinned down on the edge of their 22. Following several attacking phases, they were given an opportunity to reduce the deficit when they were awarded a penalty just outside the Houghton 22. However, it was missed by Graham Steel.
Seaham continued to apply the pressure and were awarded another penalty, only for Steel to miss again. After withstanding a lot of pressure, Houghton finally won a penalty of their own, but this time Simpson was off target.
Early in the second half, Simpson was off target again from a penalty as the visitors looked to extend their lead.
Houghton were reduced to 14 men when Ryan Main was shown a yellow card and a few minutes later further yellows were shown to Houghton's Craig Hicks and Seaham's John Dye.
Seaham finally got the breakthrough they were looking for in the 63rd minute. Mick Bland won a line-out and set up a rolling maul.
Blindside flanker John Dixon then broke away and powered over in the left corner. The touchline conversion was narrowly missed by Steel so the visitors retained a slender 7-5 advantage.
Houghton were immediately awarded a penalty on the restart but this time Dan Bearn, back in action after three months out injured, narrowly missed the target.
The final ten minutes were spent in the Seaham as Houghton pressed forward, but the home side finally held them at bay five metres out.

what's in a miracle?
And I prayed. Prayed for whatever the plan was...that I'd feel comfortable with it. That I would be given the blessed peace that surpasses all understanding. And sometimes cried. But mostly just waited. And waited. And in the waiting really did get that peace. Truly. Because where else do we really get that peace, but in the waiting? And it left me, the Type A-not-so-great-at-waiting-er, learning how to sit and really rest in the waiting. Not making lists, forgetting to even do the things the books told me to do (I did, however, purchase that fancy thermometer...just kept forgetting to actually take the temperature), forgetting to even really read through the books. In the wait, I found a new kind of trust and dependence on God. One I guess I thought I'd had, but was really given with this awesome time of waiting. A hope not in an end result, but that whatever the result was, it would be perfect and wonderful and just right. Such a gift. A miracle. The first we'd see.
The second came at the gym on September 16th, when I somehow forgot to bring my water bottle and was forced to the water fountain. A water fountain filled with water that tasted like nickles and pennies. Not the usual way of the water fountain, you know? It was odd and led me to a test which led me to the sweet sight of a plus sign (I never did enjoy math, but that plus sign was the prettiest thing I'd seen until my ultrasound a few days later) which led me to a tear-filled announcement with my Cute Husband (and some jumping around) which led me to a blood test and led me to a sweet, sweet confirmation. Which led me, ultimately, to three months on my knees in prayer. Full and complete dependence. "Please save this baby...please let this be real...please let the baby be safe...please help me calm! down! and relax and stop! worrying!..." Prayers that were, miraculously, answered.
And the third miracle comes now, with the passing of my first trimester and the continuation of many, many answered prayers. I'm so thankful I have a God that stood by me and held my hand during this wait, I'm thankful for the answered prayers, and I'm thankful for this journey in its entirety. From two years ago to now. I'm thankful for every moment and I can't wait to see more miracles unfold...as I hear, this is just the beginning.

Pear Pepita Salad
I am a HUGE fan of Brianna's Homemade Dressings. The Ginger Mandarin Dressing is one of our favorites. After we got a little sick of the citrus salad I kept making (baby spinach, oranges, apples, almonds, dried cherries, and Brianna's Ginger Mandarin Dressing), I tried a variation with pears. It has turned into a favorite of ours, and I often make it for brunches and showers.
Bag of baby spinach
2 Pears, chopped in 1 inch cubes
1 Cup of raisins
1 Cup of pepitas (which are shelled pumpkin seeds)
Brianna's Homemade Ginger Mandarin Dressing
Add spinach, pears, raisins, and pepitas to serving bowl.
Toss with dressing if serving right away, or serve with dressing on the side to avoid sogginess (and have a chance at leftovers).

Tuesday April 7, 2009
He's built something of a reputation for sartorial flamboyance with his colourful suits and statement ties, but controversial chat show host Jonathan Ross was looking the picture of style sobriety in a new waxwork figure unveiled at Madame Tussauds this week.
And it's not only his wardrobe - he donated the suit, shirt, tie and shoes the statue is wearing - which has been played down. It's also been pointed out that the figure of the 48-year-old is noticeably more streamlined around the face.
Announcing his wax immortalisation via the current ubiquitous social networking vehicle Twitter, Jonathan declared: "I have been unveiled at Madame Tussauds", but then admitted he hasn't actually seen the representation yet.
In preparation for the figure, which is seated in a recreation of the Friday Night set, he was photographed extensively and submitted to over 300 measurements.

This from the press release: "INFERNÖ Records is proud to announce the re-release on CD & Cassette of the first full length album of the promising all-girl THRASH METAL band from Singapore TORMENTRESS !"
I am curious to know if Tormentress are the only all-girl thrash band from Singapore or if it's a thing over there. Annoyingly I didn't get to catch any decent rock or metal acts when I was over there (though I did see DJ Jazzy Jeff at a festival entirely failing to mix records or judge the crowd properly – he was shit). Anyway…
This is a thrash album. Old school. There's no other genre that the band could even be claimed to be toying with. It's even got that old-school sound to it, like it was recorded in a garage which is completely forgiveable (or perhaps deliberate) for music of this type – raw, harsh, fast, no frills.
The vocals are more along the lines of Max Cavalera's on Sepultura's Bestial Devastation EP rather than later albums – quite guttural.
Alongside a smattering of fairly predictable, though enjoyable, songs are a couple of absolute pearls. "Trash & Torment", "Infinite Oneness" and "Why" are probably my top three, though their cover of Kreator's "Tormentor" is a great homage to the original.
Don't expect any surprises and you won't be disappointed. If there weren't enough quality thrash albums produced in the 80's for you, then this will help make up the numbers.
Release date is September 21st. Comes with an 12-page booklet. Available as regular CD & Digipack CD. Cassette version limited to 100 copies! Get your copy from Infernö Records.

Paper Abstract
The capabilities of a high (∼10−9 resel−1) contrast narrow-field coronagraphic instrument (CGI) on a space-based WFIRST-C or probe-class EXO-C/S mission are particularly and importantly germane to symbiotic studies of the systems of circumstellar material from which planets have emerged and interact with throughout their lifetimes. The small particle populations in "disks" of co-orbiting materials can trace the presence of planets through dynamical interactions that perturb the spatial distribution of light-scattering debris, which is detectable at visible wavelengths and resolvable with a WFIRST-C or EXO-S/C CGI. Herein, we (1) present the scientific case to study the formation, evolution, architectures, diversity, and properties of the material in the planet-hosting regions of nearby stars; (2) discuss how a CGI under current conception can uniquely inform and contribute to those investigations; (3) consider the applicability of CGI-anticipated performance for circumstellar debris system studies; (4) investigate, through WFIRST CGI image simulations, the anticipated interpretive fidelity and metrical results from specific representative zodiacal debris disk observations; (5) comment on specific observational modes and methods germane to and augmenting circumstellar debris system observations; and (6) present a case for augmenting future CGI instrumentation with the capability to obtain full linear-Stokes imaging polarimetery, which greatly benefits characterization of the material properties of circumstellar dust and exoplanet atmospheres (discussed in other studies).

History of Liverpool
Before King John discovered the Liverpool's potential as a launchpad for his Irish campaigns, there was little more than a few scattered settlements on the north bank of the Mersey. However, the creation of the borough, and the granting of rights for entrepreneurs over the next few centuries ensured a rapid growth on both the size and importance of the new town. From the first seven streets, Liverpool expanded across the tidal creek which next to which the castle stood, and eventually overshadowed the nearby centres of West Derby and Chester.
- Before the Charter
- The Early Urban Layout
- Years of Obscurity
- 16th and 17th Century Rebuilding
- Shifting Town Make-Up (18th and early 19th Centuries)
- LimeStreet and William Brown Street – Industrial Outskirts
Liuerpul (1207); Leuerepul (1229); Liuerpol (1266); Lyuerpole (1346); Leuerpoll (1393); Lytherpole (1445); Letherpole (1545); Litherpoole otherwise Liverpoole (1752). The form in th is found mainly in the 15th and 16th centuries. VCH Lancs. IV
Origin of the name: The 'pool' part of the name is now almost always said to refer to the Pool, the inlet which flowed where Whitechapel and Paradise Street now stand, and into the Mersey. However, the 'liver' or 'lever' element of the name is much more highly debated.
It may refer to the livered, or sluggish, slow flowing water in the stream, due to the amount of weeds growing in it (possibly liverwort). More obscure interpretations look to the mythical liver, or a similar water-loving bird. Influence from Scandinavian languages, as well as the Welsh language, have also been put forward, although one interpretation seems as strong as any other in the absence of definitive proof.
Historic Features in Liverpool
Before the Charter
There was likely very little in the way of existing settlement along the banks of the Mersey before the establishment of the borough in 1215. A promontory stuck out south into the Pool, a sluggish body of water flowing from the north-east. The land through which it flowed was mostly peaty bog, with only the higher sandstone ridge towards West Derby providing solid foundation. The promontory provided good views to the entrance to the Irish Sea, the Welsh mountains, and inland to the east. The area was part of Edward the Confessor's manor, and was largely given over to royal forest. Toxteth Park, Simonswood Forest and West Derby were all good hunting grounds, and there would have been little more than scattered farmsteads occupied by farmers attempting to eke out what existence they could on the marshy land far from the major routeways north and south.
Established where no settlement had come before, Liverpool shows characteristics of a completely planned town. The initial street plan was regular in shape, with the land behind the streets divided into burgage plots and town fields. Planned towns in the medieval period were often founded with a castle and church, and Liverpool was no different.
The Early Urban Layout
When the town was established in the early 13th century, its initial form consisted of seven roads in an H shape. Bank Street (now Water Street) ran inland from the Mersey's edge, becoming Dale Street at the White Cross. Chapel Street, also leading from the riverbank, became Moor Street (now Tithebarn Street) at the High Cross. The two Crosses were joined via Juggler Street (roughly where the High Street is today), completing the H. Branching south from the White Cross was Castle Street, leading of course to the Castle which was soon built to defend the important borough. Heading north from the High Cross was Mill Street, the location of the Old Hall, eventually giving the road its present name – Old Hall Street.
The Crosse Hall and the Tithe Barn, both which have modern roads carrying their names, are the point at which the upper arms of the H diverged. To the south, Dale Street gradually turned to the south-east, crossing the Pool, and passing the Fall Well on the far bank. This was the main road to West Derby and Prescot, and was the main route between Liverpool and West Derby Castles until the latter went out of use in the 13th century. Further north lay the road to Kirkdale and Walton Church, still the mother church of the parish.
Apart from the Castle itself (built 1325-37), whose Great Tower lay where the Victoria Monument now stands, there were other landmarks in the new town. The Tower had been a defended building since 1406, on the water front at the bottom end of Chapel Street. Adjacent to this was the Customs House at the lower end of Bank Street. To the north, to provide for the souls of the community, St Mary del Key had been built where Chapel Street met the water.
Journeying south, just before reaching Toxteth Park, a wanderer would have come across The Waste, also known as Esmeduna Moss, and the track to Smedons (Smithdown) Lane and Wavertree. To the north lay the Town Field, and the Old Field was found to the east, where the Pool first widens before it reaches the Mersey. Bordering Liverpool to the north was Kirkdale, Everton lay to the east, along with West Derby, and Toxteth to the south.
A market was granted early in the history of the town, held on a Saturday, when herds of animals were driven over the Townsend Bridge from the Everton hills, and bought and sold along with many other goods in the area of Chapel Street and the White Cross.
Years of Obscurity
Liverpool expanded very little in these years immediately following the charter, except for the uptake of the burgage plots by enterprising individuals, and perhaps the inhabitants of the isolated dwellings which had dotted the landscape before the 13th century. Over the next 200 years the town, and indeed the country, was ravaged by repeated outbreaks of plague, and there were particular problems associated with crime and poverty. Growth in the 15th century was almost non-existent and the fabric of the town changed very little, although new windmills appeared alongside the horse drawn and water mills. Liverpool had shown early promise, and indeed Leland had reported in 1560 that Liverpool had been paved for over 200 years already. However, there was to be a delay before she would truly show the promise of a successful settlement.
16th and 17th Century Rebuilding
At the beginning of the 17th century, the population of the town was around 2000, and slowing increasing as it recovered from the ravages of the previous 200 years. Liverpool was beginning to build on its potential, with civic efforts producing the first Town Hall and Gilde on the High Street (a thatched building until 1571), and the first grammar school, contributed by John Crosse, are first mentioned in the early 16th century. The right to collect tithes from the local population belonged to the monks of Shrewsbury Abbey until the Molyneux bought it from them around this time, and built their tithe barn on Moor Street, on the corner of Cheapside.
Towards the end of the 16th century, the whole of England was experiencing a building boom, and was to experience a change in the way private spaces were seen which was to impact on the landscape of the expanding cities. As Liverpool experienced increased wealth from trade, the well-to-do merchants chose to move out of the bustling dirty centre towards the open countryside, or at least the suburbs surronding the centre. The Old Hall Street area to the north became an increasingly fashionable residence for the well off classes. Old Hall Street was first built on in the late 17th to early 18th centuries, but by 1765 the area was completely built upon as far north as St. Paul's Square. The area was occupied by the large mansions of the merchant classes until the arrival of the Leeds – Liverpool Canal at the end of the 18th Century.
Shifting Town Make-Up (18th and early 19th Centuries)
The expanding town was rapidly proving its independence from other influences nearby. In 1704 Liverpool was first made into a parish, for the first time separate from Walton-on-the-Hill under whose auspices it had been since it was founded. St Peter's Church was duly built in 1699 in the orchard on the south side of Church Street. At this time this was the edge of Liverpool; Bold Street did not yet exist, and the area was open countryside.
In 1680 the first house had been built on the eastern side of the Pool, a landmark in the expansion of Liverpool. In the middle of the 19th Century, the southern regions around Duke Street, Seel Street and Bold Street were growing up as the preferred area for entrepreneurial individuals associated with the ever expanding trade Liverpool was conducting with her hinterland. On Duke Street, merchants lived in close proximity to the offices out of which they conducted business. This was also the area where a number of newspapers were published. These provided essential communication between those conducting business in the nearby town, and their equivalents in the other major cities: Manchester, Bristol, London. The darker side of this was the fact that many of these traders (in fact, almost all of those conducting business in this area at the time) made their money from the 'West India Trade' – slavery.
Other industries were also present. Fleet Street boasted two breweries, Unsworth's and Crosby's. In the area bordered by Lydia Anne Street, Gilbert, York and Suffolk Street was the Phoenix Foundry, originally an offshoot of the Coalbrookdale industries around Iron Bridge in Shropshire. Later, this area was in demand for the building of warehouses, and the further development of Parr Street along similar lines to the others, was interrupted by this new influx of industry.
A new town hall had been built before 1673, and Castle Street was widened in 1786. The New Exchange was constructed in 1808, marking a transition from this phase to the burgeoning industrial revolution.
Lime Street and William Brown Street – Industrial Outskirts
As early as the 1760s the area around Lime Street and Renshaw Street was becoming industrialised. A rope yard is marked on Chadwick's map of 1725 where Sir Thomas Street lies now. This lay at the very edge of the town, and these industries soon expanded to the newly built-on areas around St. George's plateau. John Eyes' map of 1768 shows numerous 'Roperies' either side of Ranleigh Street running north and south, and down what is now Renshaw Street, carrying on south from 'Lime Kiln Lane' – Lime Street. Limekiln Lane itself was known (in fact, was notorious) for its lime kilns, belching smoke and fumes into the air from their location on the current Lime Street Station site. They were eventually removed when it was claimed by the nearby infirmiary (where St George's Hall now stands) that the emissions were harming their patients.
William Brown Street, to the north of St John's Gardens and St George's Hall, was originally known as Shaw's Brow. This was the main thoroughfare into the town from the east, and a large number of stagecoaches, including the post, would travel down this road to Dale Street. However, this was a prominent outcrop, and the street itself was therefore extremely steep. Many times it had been lowered for greater convenience, but by the middle of the 19th Century this industrial street was still quite an incline. Further back in time, Shaw's Brow had been lined with potteries. These eventually diversified to include soap works, grinding mills, a large coach factory, wheelwrights and a builder's yard. At the time it was last lowered, the whole street was re-aligned to take it along the north boundary of St. John's churchyard (now St. John's Gardens). A civic project for the building of a public library was undertaken, a building soon joined by the Museum (using the collection bequeathed to the city on the death of the Third Earl of Derby).
By the beginning of the 19th Century, the layout of the City Centre looked very similar to how it looks today, in terms of the layout of the roads and major monuments such as the Town Hall. However, in the years which followed, the nature of the buildings filling the town were to change dramatically with the times, and the city of Liverpool would come to embrace the areas known as Everton, Kirkdale, Toxteth, West Derby and beyond.

I am trying to trace my family tree and history of the surname crosse
Are there any publications on the people living and trading in Liverpool c 1680+
I am also interested in the foundation of the non conformists movement at this time in the city, I have a note on the first alms houses erected, and the new school to be built around 1765.
are there any further details of these developments?
Trying to trace the history of Covent Garden in Liverpool especially the history of the pig and whistle when it first became a public house and cant seem to find any old photos of this area
I am seeking info about the life of my relative William Corrigal who was a master mariner. He dies in 1810 and I have traced him to Poole Street in 1796 and the baptisms of his children at Beens Gardens, now Renshaw Presbyterian church. Trying to get a sense of life at that time and how I can trace more about him

who here are Rockers
Well, I also was a "Rocker" for a long time but now I am into something between Grunge and Metal. Rock is cool, but tha artist have been mainstream for too long and they think too much of themselves.
time will change us eventually
I'm a part time rocker..when it's good, it's good.
I also

I'm up for a NAFTA
Wow. Posers will flock to this thread.
OMG11!"12 IM LYK SuUuU Sc3n3. 3y3 gueSs thts theee samez <334
I like good music. Pure and simple. If that makes me whatever you want to label me, so be it.
I went into a whole long rant about this, but I got rid of it. Don't want to make a tldr.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have returned from the dead.

Well let them then it' difficult to tell if their just pretending but if that's what they like then let them doesn't make any difference to me. As long as people like the music I'm happy. Plus I wasn't labelling people I asking if they thought they would fall under the label. Plus people label all the time it's impossible to get away from it, it's human nature everything needs a name and a way to define it so I just go with it
Now more relevant my flat mate has got tickets to see Motorhead I'm so jealous
A gaming podcast http://gcollabpodcast.podbean.com/
I really like rock music but not the heavy metal rock ones,...just the ordinary rock like green day, simple plan, my chemical romance etc. and i agree that music is evolving but i don't want the world to forget about rock music........
I'm not really a rocker,most of the stuff I like is labelled 'aleternative rock',like Raspuitina(electric cellos),blood red shoes.arcade fire and florence and the machine.Or 'pop rock' like Blondie and Franz ferdinand.Though I like ACDC.
Also a lot of rock bands to me sound pretty dull and quite similiar like you me at six,MCR or all time low etc etc
I do like concerts and festivals too but I don't have the money.
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
So wait..
You're saying a true "rocker" gets drunk and "messes around", but tattoos and piercings are blown up..
You should really think about that...Tattoos are seen as an art, to express your individuality....The type of music you listen to expresses you who are as well...The two have a good relation..
Getting drunk...What the hell does that say..
Unless being a rocker is just another typical label that means: Going to concerts; getting wasted; "messing around"...No wonder it's dying..
In my honest opinion, those who have tattoos; go to concerts actually appreciate the art form of the music they listen too...Rather than going to a show to get drunk.
You can place a label on who you believe you are, but all labels eventually die. Who you are, never does.
Blah...I need friends :(
No I am not I am saying a true rocker is a person who uses the music they love to have fun . I know people who listen to rock say they like it but never want to go places that actually play it on a night unless it's a festival and then it's just for the festival experience. I said getting drunk as that's what I find fun but it can be whatever floats your boat. I just hate people who openly show they like rock over all the clubbing stuff which is now becoming the "cool" thing to listen. It's all backwards it used to be the opposite way round
Also who here has listened to the new Foo Fighters album yet? I've listened to it 3 times already and I love it These Days isn't heavy but is good and the intro to Bridge Burning is plain epic
A gaming podcast http://gcollabpodcast.podbean.com/
damn it when is tool gonna release a new album
I'm up for a NAFTA
I'm an old school rocker!! Cheap Trick, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, The Cars, The Doors, The Sweet, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, you got it. I don't go to concerts because I can't afford them and don't have any sweet hookups (Napoleon Dynamite moment.) BUT - I would if I could and I would love it.
I'm also into some of today's stuff. Not all of our music sucks - check out this song by Cut in the Hill Gang:
Just gotta know where to look I heard that in Motor Storm on PlayStation Home.
Flip! What the zip?
ME!! (though rock is the lowest genre now,... but ROCK IS NOT YET DEAD!!)
I'm a part time rocker..when it's good, it's good.
haha same here,
i just drift to rock and classical music

WALTER Browne may not be a household name, but he is a rock star and a legend in the world of chess and poker. He died in his sleep a few days ago and passed away as the reigning US senior champion.
Walter was not only one of the most dominant players in the 70s and 80s when my interest in chess was at its highest, but was also a professional poker player.
As most of my friends know, my time is equally divided between chess and poker.
He was the most dominant US player after the Bobby Fischer era, having won his first national championship in 1974 and five more by 1983. For five decades, Browne managed to balance twin careers in chess and poker. Sometimes, he even played poker and chess in the same weekend.
Only Fischer and Sammy Reshevsky have won more American titles. Browne also captured the US Junior Championship in 1971. He won most of the prestigious Swiss events, including two US Opens, seven American Opens, and three World Opens. He won more Swiss tournaments than any other American player. He also won Wijk aan Zee in 1974 and 1980.
Browne was also a true poker professional. He supported himself, aside from chess, by playing cash-games poker across the country. His tournament résumé is also impressive. According to the Card Player database, "He has earned more than $280,000 on the tournament circuit, with six WSOP cashes and four WSOP final tables — including a second-place finish in the 2007 $2,500 Horse event for $131,445."
Famous instructor and historian Bruce Pandolfini says, "Walter was a truly remarkable chess player and a great game player in general. He could play any game well. Scrabble, backgammon, poker, you name it. I remember the first time I ever saw him, he was just starting to make his mark on the New York chess scene. I didn't know who he was, but here was this 14-year-old phenom destroying a local 2400 player at speed chess with such assuredness and composure, I wondered who the heck is that kid. I soon found out. Walter certainly put his permanent stamp on the history of the game we all love. What a talent."
Yasser Seirawan also rememembers Walter, "I was playing in the group among top grandmasters in Wijk aan Zee, including Walter. I was often with him; we'd take walks together, we'd be talking about the tournament. We were quite close. Going into the last round I said, 'Well, you got a big game tomorrow, Walter, you're white with Viktor Korchnoi!' Walter turned it immediately and said, 'No! He's the one who's got a big game!' Korchnoi was the No. 2 in the world at the time, behind Anatoly Karpov. It was this kind of combativeness that I'll always remember."
Norway Chess. Don't look now but world champion Magnus Carlsen just had the worst result in his career last week. He lost to Veselin Topalov, Viswanathan Anand, Fabiano Caruana and countryman Jon Ludwig Hammer, who is more than 200 Elo points behind him. As a result he lost a massive 23 rating points. Topalov was the winner and went home with $75,000.
Cepca. As part of our chess development program, we donated five chess sets to the Tejero Elementary School last Wednesday.
Present were the school principal Michael Cabase and assistant principal Neri Calago. Also present were the chess coaches of the school--Rufa Buendia and Tita Riego--and close to a 100 students.
After a short program, members Jun Olis, Ruel Hortelano, Therese dela Torre and president Jerry Maratas played simul chess with 20 students. There was one winner, Blessy Anne Hortelano, and all the players were given cash prizes.
Also present was IM Kimkim Yap.

However, as durable as they may seem, these TENS and EMS devices were not designed to last you a lifetime. Even so, you can increase the life expectation of your medical devices by purchasing alternative lead cables and wires.
Our Picks
Roscoe Medical WW5150-AMZN Replacement Lead Wires
Roscoe Medical is a reputed company in the field which certainly sells high-end medical equipment and accessories. If you are looking for new replacement wires to your EMS device, these ones with alligator clips for TENS and EMS units are certainly what you are looking for. The main advantage of these particular Roscoe Medical replacement lead wires is that they are compatible with numerous TENS and EMS devices, regardless of the brand, which makes them highly usable whenever and wherever.

Thus, for five different pairs of Roscoe Medical lead wires you will pay around $30 on Amazon. The main drawback is that you will have to wait up to two months before the product is shipped and even more if you are thinking of ordering outside the United States.
Roscoe Medical WB7875-AMZN Bifurcation Lead Cable for TENS/EMS Units
Another item manufactured and sold by Roscoe Medical comes in the shape of these bifurcation lead cables. Purchase them on Amazon for around $27 and, unlike the previous ones, these lead cables can be ordered and shipped right away. Suitable with a wide range of Roscoe Medical TENS and EMS devices, these lead wires come with a twist. They are split at the end, meaning you can use them by connecting them to four or 8 different electrodes. In other words, these lead cables for TENS and EMS units are specifically designed for the more recent typologies of Roscoe Medical EMS devices that can be used to treat two different areas of your body in the same time. This also means applying custom treatments and different range of pulsation depending on the affected muscles.
These bifurcation lead cables can be connected to up to eight electrodes and, thus, provide a more efficient treatment to numerous parts of the body. Order the product now and you will receive five packs of lead wires, each with four wires.
Roscoe Medical DT6070 TENS 7000 To Go Back Pain Relief System
The good thing about Roscoe Medical devices is that, apart from the devices themselves and the accessories sold separately, customers also have the opportunity of buying whole packages which are much more convenient in terms of price. For as little as $38 on Amazon, clients can purchase an entire Roscoe Medical kit, including a TENSE 7000 device, the conductive electrode support belt for those into body building and muscle fitness, a conductive spray, a 9-volt battery, as well as a snap-on lead wire. Moreover, the package comes with a complete user manual for detailed and easy to follow directions and instructions, especially for those who want to get rid of annoying muscle aches.
The TENSE 7000 device, as well as with all its adjacent accessories are FDA approved, meaning you can purchase the product over the counter from local supermarkets and specialized medical unit stores without requiring a previous prescription. The device is easily carried thanks to the support belt that helps targeting and treating pains, aches and sore muscles. Depending on your personal wishes and visions regarding a perfect body, you can choose from five different pre-set therapy modes as well as from different pain level intensities. Some other great points of the package are a user-friendly set control to navigate through all your device's functions and all the accessories required to make your experience pleasant, affordable and efficient.
Roscoe Medical is definitely a force in the field of EMS, TENS and medical devices and accessories. High-quality lead cables ensure the good functioning of your Roscoe Medical product and might help you with plenty of things related to your muscle condition. From pain aches to bodybuilding, sore muscles and simple muscle inflammation, the Roscoe Medical devices and accessories are here to improve your life and help you acquire the body you always looked for. But, although lead wires can also be sold separately, we suggest you opt for complete packages that also include the TENS/ EMS device itself, as well as a series of accessories, including belts and user manuals.

The weekend started in a brilliant way. First on my agenda was a trip to see my spiritual director on Saturday morning. While Barnsley was still sleeping, I was making my way to Bradford to attend Mass, confession and then to see my SD. No better way to start the weekend.
After this I was in a rush to get back to Scunthorpe to play football, which turned out to be a nightmare.
We played against a team who really had no idea how to control their tongues. They are admittedly a better team than we are but they paid the price for a complete lack of discipline. I feel really sorry for the referee who is a really nice and honest gentleman but was told, in many different languages, where to go. He thankfully stood strong and sent the guys off that were swearing at him and threatening him. He told me after that one of the team had put his clothes in the sink and filled it with water and another had threatened to find out where he lived and hunt him down.
Now sometimes I can relate to a bit of passion boiling over in football but this team took it too far and I was ashamed to be playing in that match. Thank fully we won 3-2.
I am going to pray for that referee as he deserves much better treatment and lets hope that the team we were playing against look back on it and regret their actions.
In God's Love

Hi all
Just a short note to mention that I will be away from the Internet for a while. I have been trying to run things remotely since Friday but I am struggling. I tried to reply to Unknown's message but I keep getting shut out. I am totally out of touch from tomorrow, hopefully back home by Wednesday. (?)
Anyway as soon as I am settled again I will resume posts and hopefully be able to reply to "Unknown's" comment. He provides some interesting news about Patrik's plan to expand the FRace line with a big, light, fast, hollow model. Where have I heard that idea before?
Anyway this development, together with Fanatic's 2017 Falcon Lightwind suggests that at least two of the guys are listening to us. I look forward to seeing what is in store for next season.

Out of "Office" for a while
2 comments:
Falcon lightwind has the same measures of the Falcon 152, 90x230, and it does look like the Falcon 152 refurbished. So it's a competitor in the same category of the X-Fire Lightwind.ReplyDelete
Hi UnknownReplyDelete
Thanks for the information. I am super disappointed with the short length of the new board but happy to note that it now has a few footstrap options. A step in the right direction. Other than the length concerns this looks like a pretty good board.
If you get to ride one please give some feedback.

Damian Lillard single-handedly dragged the Portland Trail Blazers out of an 11-point fourth quarter hole against the Los Angeles Lakers, scoring 19 of his game-high 39 points in the final stanza Monday night.
Lillard's heroics led the visiting Blazers to a 108-103 win, their 15th consecutive win against the Lakers.
CJ McCollum added 22 points, and Jusuf Nurkic had 16 points and 16 rebounds for Portland.
Per the AP:
"Damian Lillard is special," Portland head coach Terry Stotts said. "If it's not obvious, I'll say it."
Lillard scored 15 in a row for the Trail Blazers down the stretch, giving them a 104-103 lead with 1:08 remaining by hitting 1 of 2 free throws.
"I've seen a lot of great basketball in my life, but today I was like wow. He made it look so easy, effortless," Shabazz Napier said. "I just saw it in his eyes. He wanted the ball every single time, he wanted to take the shot. He definitely willed us today."

Community Searches for Missing Red Panda; Meanwhile, She Allegedly Takes to Twitter to Tell Her Side
According to Ziegler, around 30 volunteers had aided in the search last night but that it had been 24 hours since a credible sighting of the panda. She added that the red panda can climb like a squirrel and could be high in a tree, but that she was most likely on the ground looking for a safe spot or food. Red pandas are most active at dusk and at dawn. Ziegler said that if the panda was spotted to not approach the animal but to immediately call the hotline number (707-499-3668.) The zoo has also released to media images and names of the types of bamboo that the red panda can eat. (Click here to see photos of the Red Panda's favorite bamboo.)
Updates can be found on the zoo's Facebook page. The hashtag #findmasala has been created to follow information and updates on the search on twitter. A red panda escaped from the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington D.C. back in June and social media played a part in locating the escaped red panda named Rusty.

No one is ever too young to buy life insurance even though it seems like a waste of money. Nothing could be further from the truth, as the younger one is when buying a policy, the less it costs. It also has the added benefit of making it easier to increase coverage as life circumstances change.
Plus, the policy stays in effect even when the policy holder goes through a serious illness that affects their quality of life.
There's an idea that buying a life insurance policy isn't going to provide much of a benefit. Sending in a premium every month to an insurance company feels as if the money is disappearing into a black hole. Except it's not. The money is going towards a policy that provides financial protection in the event of an untimely death, or it converts into coverage that makes more sense as you age. Then there's the fact that a lot of money is saved over the duration of the policy simply by getting it sooner rather than later. Life is a gamble. No one knows how long they have to live even though they may feel that they'll live forever. A life insurance policy is a hedge against the roll of the dice that is life.
Take a quiz to learn more about why it's a good idea to buy life insurance at a young age. You might be surprised at the benefits that come with buying a policy in your 20s in 30s instead of waiting until you're nearing 40.
