" I'd also like to remind you that we've had bad times here. The club stood by me, all my staff stood by me, the players stood by me. So your job now is to stand by our new manager, that is important"
The words above were said by Sir Alex Ferguson on his last home match in his long and illustrious career. And after reading our Twitter timeline in the last few days many a Manchester United fan would do well to remember them and get behind the man Sir Alex chose as his replacement David Moyes.
In his first 6 months in charge of Manchester United, Moyes has had a few highs but in the eyes of most fans more downs, in all fairness to him though he was always in a slightly losing battle unless he came into the club and announced he was signing Messi & Ronaldo in exchange for Tom Cleverley and Anderson. Also let's not forget he is also working under a Chief Executive who is new to the club as well and eager to make a good impression.
So after defeats to Spurs, Sunderland & the early exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Swansea what could Moyes do to turn it around?
- Squad
The current squad is the same squad which won the league last year so is it a case of them not performing well, losing their edge or poor selection by the manager?
When you look at the squad you look at some of the players who are backup players and you have to think that some of them are not good enough. Anderson, Fabio & Nani all spring to mind as "dead weight." it's disappointing in the case of Fabio who when you look at the progress made by his brother Rafael should have been looking to kick on although it's worth noting Fabio couldn't force his way into the QPR team that was relegated last season. Then there is the likes of Cleverley, Valencia & Young all of whom feature regularly in the Manchester United line up but never impact the game as much as their talent dictates, Moyes needs to be tough with them and say "shape up or ship out"
There are a few fringe players who would also benefit from a bit more game time, the likes of Büttner who is a left back with a decent amount of pace and a ferocious shot on him. With Evra advancing in years and also rumblings of him wanting to return to his native France for me Büttner would be a more than capable replacement. Jesse Lingard is just back from a lightning loan spell in the Midlands and has staked a claim for the matchday squads, indeed he was an unused substitute in the home victory against Swansea this past weekend and hopefully he gets a look in because as Birmingham City fans will tell you he makes daring late runs in to the box and finds space. Nick Powell is currently out on loan and is another who is getting rave reviews, with talk of Moyes recalling him to send him back out on loan to a Premier League team it seems silly, let's see if the lad is Old Trafford material, same with Zaha. If someone asked me who would be my future a United midfield would be at the moment I would say Zaha,Powell, Lingard & Januzaj.
- Transfers
There has been talk of a "£200m war chest" but I can't see Moyes spending all that in January, especially with the potential risks involving January transfers taking a while to bed in. A lot of the talk is centred around this apparent gaping hole in the center of Manchester United's defence and whilst the first choice of Vidic & Ferdinand may be creaking a bit and in the formers case rumours of him wanting him to leave the club, there is more than enough decent cover already contained within in the 25 man squad with the likes of Evans, Smalling, Jones & Michael Keane all possessing great talent and potential.
An area United may look to strengthen this window is the forwards, with Rooney & van Persie having an injury hit season and also murmurs of them eyeing the exit it may be time for United to bite the bullet and hit Diego Costas rumoured £32m release clause and get him in tone squad, yes he wouldn't be eligible for UCL but United have to concentrate on their league campaign to make sure they are in the competition again next season. Another forward they could move for would be Jeremy Menez of PSG, out of contract in the summer he is a player who they would save on the transfer fee so could afford to offer him a bit more. Menez is a great player to tuck in behind the main striker owing to his reading of the game and overall movement and if Rooney or RVP do move on he could help Hernandez or Welbeck really kick on.
Another area they realistically need to strengthen is the holding midfield role. The holding midfielder should provide you with a bit of meat in the tackle and also cover for the defence so in that respect Phil Jones would be your ideal man but with him constantly being switched from one position to another he isn't getting the time to really master any. Arturo Vidal has been linked to United and would be a great addition to the squad, a midfielder in the same mould as Paul Scholes with a never ending reserve of energy and a ferocious and fiery temperament he may provide the engine room that United need. Another midfielder United could look at bringing in is Real Madrids Nuri Sahin. He didn't really show his true potential when he was loaned to Liverpool last year although that may have been down to Rodgers playing him in a more attacking role than he played in his time at Dortmund, he also doesn't seem to have settled in too well at Madrid where he has been sent out on loan from for nearly two seasons after some understated performances for them so he may be available for around £10m. Jonathon Dos Santos may be a purchase with one eye on the future, the Mexican seems to have fallen back down the pecking order at Barcelona despite some impressive performances at he start of the season.
Fantasy purchases for me come in the form of Reus, Gündoğan and Bojan Krkic but to move for any of those in this window seems to run a risk of not giving the players enough time to settle and expecting them to hit the ground running which sometimes they don't and it ruins their hype and the fans soon turn against them. Either way it seems any business will be done late on the window again but United fans may be hoping that it doesn't turn into another Felliani.

So as a plus to attending the best school in the world (East Carolina University) I was able to see a FREE early showing of the movie The Visit. The movie hit theaters on September 11th if I'm not mistaken. So here is how it worked: we went to the student box office and got a ticket for the show. However, there was a catch! A ticket did not guarantee a seat/entry. So in order to get in, you had to arrive early. The movie started at 9:30 and doors opened at 9. I thought getting there at 8 would be enough time but I probably should have gotten there earlier. On the plus side, I did get in (yay.)
I don't want to give away any details at all but the movie was really good. I was unfortunate and had to sit behind this giant, so I was bobbing from left to right during the entire movie. It was very entertaining and I would go see it again! I also ended up sitting alone like a loner because my other friends were taking too long and I was way behind in the line.
Thanks for reading and if you see the visit share your opinion in the comments below!

RNLI volunteer crews are coming to the end of their training on the new Skegness lifeboat, the Joel and April Grunnill.
Visitors to the resort may still catch a glimpse of them on the new vessel today. Crews have also been training on a second boat on loan to the resort.
A spokesman told the Standard: "The second boat is RNLB Reg (13-07) and is from the RNLI relief fleet at Poole. She joined us from Lowestoft, where she'd been laid afloat (floating in the harbour) for a little while.
"Training has been going well. It's important that it's all finished by Sunday."
Hundreds of people crowded on to the beach to watch the arrival of the Joel and April Grunnill last Saturday.
For RNLI supporter April Grunnill, it was an especially emotional day.
I couldn't believe the number of people on the beach waiting to see her arrive – I was so thrilled to see that it meant so much to people in SkegnessApril Grunnill, RNLI supporter
Sge told the Standard: "I couldn't believe the number of people on the beach waiting to see her arrive – I was so thrilled to see that it meant so much to people in Skegness."
Apil accompanied the new lifeboat on aboard the Lincolnshire Poacher lifeboat.
The Joel and April Grunnill is named in honour of April and her cousin, former crew and station chairman Joel, who died in 2014 and left a £1.5m legacy to the RNLI for a new lifeboat.
April, who also donated towards the lifeboat, said: "What a wonderful day! I was so proud to see our lifeboat arriving home in Skegness. I first saw her in Poole, at the RNLI headquarters, and felt very emotional the first time I saw our names on the side of the lifeboat, but today I just tried to enjoy the occasion.
"I couldn't believe the number of people on the beach waiting to see her arrive – I was so thrilled to see that it meant so much to people in Skegness."
Accompanying them were all-weather lifeboats from Mablethorpe and Hunstanton, along with inshore lifeboats.
For some it was a sad day at they watched the current RNLI Mersey class all-weather lifeboat the Lincolnshire Poacher - which has served the coast since 1990, carrying out 352 rescues and saving 195 people - being launched for one of its final exercises to join the welcoming fleet.
But all eyes were on the state-of-the-art Shannon class lifeboat - the first modern RNLI all-weather lifeboat to be propelled by water jets instead of propellers. Designed by an in-house RNLI team, it is the most agile all-weather lifeboat in the charity's fleet and has been developed with the safety and welfare of RNLI volunteer crews as a key priority.
Alan Fisher, Skegness RNLI Lifeboat operations manager, said he was also overwhelmed by the number of people who had turned out to welcome the new lifeboat. He said: "It's an incredibly big deal for the town as well as the RNLI crew who will be operating it. The Lincolnshire Poacher has served the town well, but it's like swapping a Ford Escort with a Ferrari."
The new lifeboat's arrival was the start of 10 days of further training for the crew. Mark Perry, senior launch and retrieve instructor from the Lifeboat College at Poole said: "Training will continue over the next week and we will then start passing out the crew."
Lee Firman, RNLI manager for the area, said: "I will be back in 10 days to put the crew through a series of exercises and assess the competency of the crew and make sure they can work the lifeboat safely."
The Lincolnshire Poacher will stay in service until the completion of the training and then be returned to Poole.
Members of the public will get a second opportunity to welcome the Joel and April Grunnill at its official naming ceremony on April 1, April Grunnill's birthday.

RETURNING home, the
industrious pastor found abundance of important work awaiting him. During the April
previous the land had been secured at Stockwell for the ORPHAN HOUSES.The work of
preparation for their erection had been so far advanced that a great festival was
arranged, and on Monday, September 9, 1867, a party of some four thousand, persons
assembled at Stockwell, a large proportion of the company being collectors; and it
was part of the programme for the foundation-stones of three of the houses to be
laid, and for the numerous collectors to lay on the stones their respective contributions.
It was an auspicious day for Mr. Spurgeon, for his deacons and church-members. A
widely extended interest had been felt in the work, and the occasion became a grand
holiday in that southern suburb of London. Three of the houses were thus far advanced
in their progress, namely, the Silver Wedding House, the Merchants' House, and the
Workmen's House. The united sum the collectors laid upon the stones amounted to eleven
thousand dollars.
A Home for Orphans.
The entire spectacle was both novel and touching. Prayers were offered on the occasion, the influence of which it is believed will be felt throughout all time. Appropriate hymns were sung, each ceremony being conducted with verses specially prepared, the first of which was as follows:
Accept, O Lord, the grateful love
It was announced at the close of the ceremony that in addition to the one hundred
thousand dollars given by Mrs. Hillyard, the money in hand was then twenty-seven
thousand five hundred dollars. The assembly returned home highly delighted with the
service and the glad tidings they had heard, whilst the pastor, worn out with fatigue
and anxiety, retired home to rest.
The mental and physical strain of such heavy responsibilities was too much for Mr. Spurgeon, who was soon after laid aside quite ill. Although physically prostrate, his mind was in active exercise; and after being a sufferer for two months, he wrote an article for his magazine entitled, "On My Back," in which he submissively said, that after two months of ill health and severe pain, yet he believed there was a limit to sickness, and that Jesus knew all about it, feeling assured that the design of sickness was divinely good.
This long absence from the pulpit led to the appointment of his brother, James Archer Spurgeon, as co-pastor to the church at the Tabernacle, and he officially entered on those duties in January, 1868.
Busy with Pen and Voice.
Although the year 1868 did not furnish occasion for such important events as the preceding one, yet was there much earnest work done by Mr. Spurgeon at his Tabernacle. Not able to do so much physical work, he used his pen very freely. He wrote two articles for his magazine to advocate the claims of the Colportage Association. In March he delivered at the Tabernacle a lecture on "Our History and Work," with Mr. W. McArthur, M. P., in the chair. He also wrote an interesting article relating incidents in the life of his grandfather. In the month of May he preached the Sermon to Young Men at Mr. Martin's Chapel, Westminster, on behalf of the London Missionary Society-- a service rendered the more cheerfully, remembering as he did, the prophetic words of good Richard Knill, that he would preach in the largest chapel in London. That was probably the largest chapel he had preached in, excepting his own. During the same month he spoke at the Breakfast Meeting of the Congregational Union.
Generous Donations.
In the month of March a generous friend sent to the pastor five thousand dollars for the College and five thousand dollars for the Orphanage-- such instances of liberality amply testifying the high estimation in which the noble enterprises of Mr. Spurgeon were held by the public. On his birthday, June 19th, a great meeting was held, and liberal contributions made for the Orphanage.
Bright as are these spots in the life of the pastor, and in his work at the Tabernacle and its belongings, yet there hung over his home all the time a dark shadow which Divine Providence saw fit to place there. Mrs. Spurgeon had long been a great sufferer, and to alleviate her sorrows, if possible, a very painful operation had to be undertaken. The most skilful surgeons of the land were engaged, under the direction of Sir James Simpson, of Edinburgh. Prayer was made for her by the whole church, and, by the blessing of God, the operation was so far successful that her sufferings were alleviated and her life prolonged; but it has been a life of pain and weakness, though with less of anguish.
A Jubilant Note.
A gratifying fact is recorded by Mr. Spurgeon this year, who publicly acknowledges the kindness of Dr. Palfrey, of Finsbury Square, for his gratuitous and generous professional attendance on the poor members of the Tabernacle.
At Christmastide, and at the opening of the year, the claims of Mr. Spurgeon's benevolent agencies were remembered by his many friends, who sent him of their worldly substance with generous hands, so that he commences the first number of "The Sword and the Trowel" for 1869 with a most jubilant note: "Bless the Lord, O my soul!"
He also made the announcement that a gentleman in Australia had written to say he intended to reprint his sermons weekly in that far-off land, to give them a yet wider circulation.
From the very commencement of his ministry strange tales had been put into circulation by his detractors, most of which Mr. Spurgeon passed by in silence. Several very, ludicrous speeches were attributed to him soon after he became popular in London. In the midst of his work, at the opening of the year 1869, the voice of the slanderer was again heard, and many were troubling the busy pastor to know how true were the statements in circulation respecting him.
Absurd Stories.
In reply to all these, under the head of "Silly Tales," he wrote in his magazine:
"Friends who write us about silly tales may save themselves the trouble. We have been enabled in our ministry and in our walk before God so to act, through grace, that we have given no occasion for the slanderers, save only that we have kept the faith, and been very jealous for the Lord God of Israel. Many of the absurd stories still retailed everywhere are the very same libels which were repeated concerning Rowland Hill and others long gone to their rest."
Having seen much of the folly too frequently exhibited at funerals, he published his views, with the apt title, "Funerals; or a Black Business," in which, after exposing the folly of using feathers and gold-headed sticks in carrying a dead body to the grave, he observes:
"I would sooner be eaten by crows than have pride and pomp feeding on my little savings which are meant for my bereaved wife and children, and not for unsuitable, untimely, and unholy show.
I have heard that more than four millions of money are squandered every year in funeral fopperies. The money buys or hires silk scarfs, brass nails, feathers for horses, kid gloves and gin for the mutes, and white satin and black cloth for the worms. It seems to me to be mighty fine nonsense, more for the pride of the living than the honor of the dead, more for the profit of the undertaker than any one else."
Attack of Small-Pox.
In June of that year the first report of the Orphanage was issued, which plainly set forth how earnestly the work had been carried on for it in having the houses erected and in getting them furnished and occupied. Twenty-nine boys were then in residence, one of whom was the son of one of the workmen who had assisted in building the Workmen's House, the father having died after the house was erected.
Taking a short holiday in July, Mr. Spurgeon, accompanied by a friend, climbed the Summit of Hindhead, in the South of England, then paid a brief visit to the Continent. Soon after his return home, in October, he was entirely laid aside from pastoral work by a slight attack of small-pox. His friends became seriously anxious about him, and special prayer was made again and again for his recovery. It came slowly, but in anticipation thereof the first article in the magazine for November was "A Sermon from A Sick Preacher." Possessed of such mighty faith in God, and with such indomitable courage, Pastor Spurgeon found opportunities for doing good, whilst others are considering what had best be done. He even wrote directions "How to Bear Affliction."
New Year's Letter.
During the progress of his recovery he wrote a New Year's Letter to his ministering brethren, which commences his magazine for 1870, in which, with much affectionate earnestness, he urges them, even by special means, if ordinary ones fail, to aim at the salvation of the souls of their congregations, enforcing this duty upon them by the example of the Ritualists, who are zealous, working to spread their delusions, especially amongst the poor, with whom they know how to succeed by bribes of bread and clothing. He says he writes as a sick man, but feels the urgency and importance of soul-winning.
The prostrate condition of the pastor's health for nearly three months made it necessary for him to appeal with his pen for the aid of his friends in sustaining the benevolent works of the Tabernacle. In March, 1870, his appeal took the following form:
"The pastorate of a church of four thousand members, the direction of all its agencies, the care of many churches arising from the College work; the selection, education, and guidance in their settlements of the students; the oversight of the Orphanage, the editing of a magazine, the production of numerous volumes, the publication of a weekly sermon, an immense correspondence, a fair share in public and denominational action, and many other labors, besides the incessant preaching of the Word, give us a right to ask of our friends that we be not allowed to have an anxious thought about the funds needed for our enterprises."
Future Punishment.
This remarkable picture of energy and activity will scarcely be surpassed by any man living, if indeed it can be equalled by more than one in a million, even in this industrious age. But there were other duties pressing on Mr. Spurgeon's mind at the time, which he could not throw off. For some months previously a controversy had been warmly carried on in the columns of the "Christian World" newspaper advocating a curious system of future punishment ending in annihilation. The editor of the paper prohibited in his columns the publication of any letters on the opposite side, excepting only what Mr. Spurgeon might write. Mr. Spurgeon wrote to the editor, pointing out that his conduct was not quite frank, and declining on his part to help the agitation, telling him that the words of our Lord-- "These shall go away into everlasting punishment"-- finally settled the point; and he held that the publication of views which are opposed to that declaration, and the views themselves, were equally dangerous.
A Controversy.
Greatly were the funds of the college aided by the lectures which its President gave from time to time on its behalf. After one of his visits to Italy Mr. Spurgeon delivered a very interesting and lively lecture on "Rome, and what I saw and heard there." Some of the reporters for the daily press-- not a few of whom are Jesuits-- misrepresented some very material portions of the lecture in their abridged account. Mr. Spurgeon was obliged to defend himself; and what he said against such insidious foes in the pages of his own magazine led to another kindred topic being brought before the public about the same time, when these same reporters misled the public mind by applying to King Victor Immanuel of Italy a prayer which belonged only to Immanuel, Victor over sin, the man Christ Jesus.
In May, 1870, Mr. Spurgeon sent forth a new work entitled "Feathers for Arrows," intended to supply preachers and teachers with useful material for filling up their sermons, lectures, and addresses. Ten thousand copies of the book were sold in three months.
The Bible in the Public Schools.
The public mind was considerably agitated at that time by the action of the School Board in reference to religious teaching in their schools; some wanting to exclude the reading of the Bible from them, and so deprive the upgrowing population of the use of the best book in the language. A large meeting was held in Exeter Hall, in July, in defence of the Bible being daily read in elementary schools. Mr. Spurgeon took the chair on the occasion. The result of the meeting was, the Bible retains its place as a daily school book. The wisdom of the decision then made has been abundantly manifested since, and especially so by the great gathering of Board-School children in the Crystal Palace in July, 1877, when some thousands of prizes were publicly given to the pupils for proficiency in knowledge of the Bible, and when it was most convincingly shown that parents in London (excepting only a few Jews) do not object to their children being taught daily from the Word of God.
The special religious services held in February, at the Tabernacle, were seasons of much blessing. More than one hundred members were added to the church in one month. The people went to the services expecting to receive good, and they were not disappointed.
Severe Attack of Gout.
Soon after the annual College supper, which was held in March, 1871, at which the sum of seven thousand five hundred dollars was given Mr. Spurgeon was laid aside by a more than usually severe attack of gout, which confined him indoors for three long, weary months; yet in the midst of all his pain and suffering he wrote in July of the great mercies he had received from the hand of God, and by the bounty of his friends to the Orphanage and the College. It was at the close of this protracted attack of bodily pain that he was privileged to preach the sermon which forms No. 1,000 of his published discourses. Its second title is "Bread enough and to spare," and it is based on Luke xv. 17. It was the delight of the pastor to receive from a friend five thousand dollars on behalf of the College, in honor of the event just named. Who would not pray that God's blessing may rest forever on that friend?
Taking the advice of his friends, Mr. Spurgeon proceeded to the Continent for a short tour and for rest. His observant eye was constantly discovering some passing beauty which his ever-ready pencil recorded in his note-book, a book which contains a store of incidents which serve to enrich his conversation and fill up his magazine. Accordingly, taking Jersey and Guernsey on his way, we find before the end of the year an interesting article from his pen, on St. Brelade's Bay.
Pilgrimage to Sunny Italy.
As the cold raw winter weather set in, the beloved pastor was urged by his friends to seek a warmer climate. Illness in a severe form again overtook him, on the second day of which he received a telegram from Boston, America, offering most liberal terms to him if he would go to that country and deliver a series of lectures. So large a sum would have been a strong temptation to most men, but not so to this minister of Jesus Christ, whose prompt reply was, "he had neither time nor strength to go to America." Instead of journeying westward for personal gain, he started on a pilgrimage to sunny Italy and the South of France, taking what he designated a Scriptural holiday, a forty days' rest. Accordingly, leaving gloomy December in England, he spent that month in visiting Pompeii, Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples, and France-- a fitting holiday after having completed nineteen years' labor in London.
In taking a survey of the work of the year, for the preface to his magazine, Mr. Spurgeon sums up the record by saying it had been a year of spiritual drought in the churches generally, but at the Tabernacle they had witnessed much prosperity, and the trained pastors who had gone out from them had been also blessed in like manner. Eleven students were appointed to pastoral duty during 1872. During this year, also, Archibald G. Brown opened his large Tabernacle in the East of London. It is a building for extent and variety of Christian work second only to Mr. Spurgeon's. Mr. Brown is one of the most successful students trained in the Pastors' College.
Results of Overwork.
In the hope that the genial sunshine of Southern Europe, in which he has passed out of the old into the new year, would have established his health for renewed efforts, the pastor appeared once more at the Tabernacle, and at the church meeting in January, 1873, he had the gratification of finding one hundred and thirty-five new members to be received into fellowship, thus demonstrating that there was life in the church, though its chief pastor had been away. The cold, raw, damp weather continuing with the new year, he was again prevented from leaving his own home, and for many weeks he was unable to preach on the Sabbath. How great a trial that silence was to the preacher, none so well knew as himself. Sorrowing greatly at the privation both to himself and his church, he yet submitted without murmur to the will of God.
Shut in from the outer world, he had an opportunity of surveying the progress of the work which was being done at the Tabernacle. The College reports exhibited the outposts which had already been reached by the students, one of whom was laboring, to set forth Jesus as the only Saviour of sinners, in China; one in Sydney, one in Tasmania, one in Adelaide, two in Madrid, one in Ontario, one in Ohio, one in Philadelphia, one in South Africa, and one in Toronto. What a vast prospect of work to be done in the intermediate spaces between each one of those missionary agents and the Tabernacle!
Thousands of Church Members.
At the Annual Church Meeting held in February, 1873, the total membership was reported at 4,417. The losses during the previous year had been 263, the additions were 571, leaving a net increase for the year of 308 living members. Well might both pastor and deacons rejoice at the presence of the Lord God in their midst. At this date came a renewed application from the United States to come over and lecture. Note the preacher's reply:
"An American firm offer Mr. Spurgeon twenty-five thousand dollars to deliver twenty-five lectures in that country, at one thousand dollars each and further arrangements can be made for one hundred lectures. Although the remuneration offered is very far beyond anything our beloved people are likely to give us, we prefer to have the gospel according to our Lord's words preached freely, rather than to use the Lord's time for earning money for our own purse."
Fisk Jubilee Singers.
Always sympathizing with the oppressed, it did not Surprise any one to learn that the Fisk Jubilee Singers received an early invitation from the pastor and deacons to give one of their concerts in the Metropolitan Tabernacle. It would be difficult to determine which party experienced the most delight, the colored singers to go and see and hear Mr. Spurgeon speak in his own church, or his congregation to welcome, with all the heartiness they could manifest, those liberated slaves, whose vocal powers had by anticipation preceded their visit, to insure them a hearty greeting. It was indeed a pleasant hour, that which introduced the singers to the vast mass of people which crowded every inch of space in the building to hear them. Indeed, hundreds had to go away, unable to crowd in anywhere within sight or hearing. And the collection which followed it was right royal in amount. They cleared about eleven hundred dollars for their University by singing at the Tabernacle alone.
The effect on the mind of the pastor himself, he thus describes in his own magazine:
"The melodies were rendered by our emancipated friends in a manner altogether unique: we have never heard anything like it; pure nature untrammelled by rule, pouring forth its notes as freely as the wild birds in the spring. The people were charmed: our intercourse with the choir was very pleasant."
As soon as the singers arrived in London on their second tour, they received an
earnest invitation to repeat their visit to the Metropolitan Tabernacle.
Pointed Preaching.
As the practical pastor was again charged with being too personal in preaching, in one of his articles on "Personal Preaching," Mr. Spurgeon remarks:
"We aim at speaking personally and pointedly to all our hearers; and they are the best judges whether we accomplish it, and also as to whether we use language at which any man ought to be offended. Very seldom does a week occur without our receiving letters from persons unknown to us, thanking us for advising or comforting them in our sermons, the parties evidently being under the impression that some friend had communicated their cases to us, though, indeed, we knew nothing whatever of them. Frequently we have had apologetic notes acknowledging the justice of the rebuke, and correcting us in some minor details of a description supposed to refer to a special sinner; whereas we were unaware of the writer's existence. We have ceased to regard these incidents as curious, for we remember that the Word of God is 'a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.'"
A Rally for Missions.
Strange and interesting facts have often reached him. At the commencement of Mr. Spurgeon's ministry he related having received a letter from a poor shoemaker during the week, who said that he was the man who had kept his shop open on the Sunday, who had sold only one pair of old boots for one-and-eight-pence and that having broken the Sabbath for so small a sum and been so publicly exposed, none but God could have told the facts to the preacher, he had resolved to break the Sabbath no longer. He became converted, and joined the church; but the preacher had no knowledge of the man till he wrote about himself.
During the spring weather of '73 Mr. Spurgeon did not recover his accustomed health, neither did he give up his accustomed work, excepting when really unable to leave home. At the end of April he preached one of the annual sermons before the Wesleyan Missionary Society, in Great Queen-street Chapel, to the largest congregation ever assembled on a similar occasion, at the close of which the collection reached an amount greater than had ever before been made for that object.
In June he took part in the services connected with laying memorial stones for a new Baptist chapel near his own residence at Clapham. He stated that it had long been in his heart to build a chapel in that locality, and he had laid aside one thousand dollars to commence the work, but all his efforts had failed. He was glad that others were doing what he had not been able to do. He had himself been delighted that year to preach for the Wesleyans, and to speak for the Independents; but he urged all Baptists residing in that district to give to the church which intended to assemble in that new erection. In the early part of the year Mr. Spurgeon had made a collection at the Tabernacle on behalf of the new Surrey Chapel for Mr. Newman Hall, which reached five hundred dollars.
Laying a Corner Stone.
In taking a survey of the literary work of "The Sword and the Trowel" for the year, the editor in his preface for 1873 remarks:
"I have been hunting up topics of interest with no small degree of anxiety, sending forth the magazine with earnest desires to win a hearing and to produce good results of all kinds. I edit the periodical most conscientiously, giving it my personal attention, and I spare no pains to make it as good as I can."
The applications made to the College for pastors during 1873 were more numerous
than had before been made. Thirty of these were supplied. Out of that number two
were sent to Spain, one to India, one to China, one to Prince Edward Island, one
to Ireland, and one to Scotland. On the 14th of October the foundation-stone of the
new College buildings was laid by the President. It was a day which will long be
remembered with delight. The people on the occasion gave five thousand dollars, and
the students gave fifteen hundred more; but the chief joy of the day was the whole-day
prayer-meeting which the students held, that the divine blessing might rest on the
work, and upon all connected with the College.
The month of January, 1879, will long be remembered. Having completed the twenty-fifth year of his pastorate, it was decided to celebrate the occasion, which was termed THE PASTORAL SILVER WEDDING, by presenting Mr. Spurgeon with a liberal testimonial. The amount proposed to be raised was twenty-five thousand dollars. A large bazaar was opened, which was well supported, and with the subscription lists the proceeds exceeded the amount originally proposed.
With his usual large-heartedness he declined accepting the amount for his private benefit. There was one important institution connected with the Tabernacle that needed to be placed on a surer footing, and this was a fitting opportunity for securing that end. The Almshouses, affording homes for nineteen poor widows, required a more permanent support, and all the proceeds of the "Pastoral Silver Wedding Fund" were devoted to this laudable object, thereby insuring its future maintenance.

Fredrik, I have found Out of the Past a wonderful, but sad film. It looks extraordinary and I love the contrasting indoor/outdoor changes of mood and tempo. I always regret that "Jeff Bailey" seems fated to die; perhaps the only way he can escape from his predicament is to do so. I wish you would write more about how you came to see it as an extraordinary work of art.ReplyDelete
It has a powerful feeling of hopelessness and inevitability that contribute to making it sad. It has grown on me over the years, and I promise I write more about it soon.Delete

I came across this video of the JMPD (Johannesburg Metro Police Department) cop exchanging a few, dare I say hilarious, words with a motorist. Now as I understand, the said motorist, a Mr Clive Naidoo, had driven over a red traffic light and was then stopped by the cop. While issuing a ticket to the motorist and filling out all the administrative nitty gritties Mr Naidoo asked that she hurry on up before telling her how his taxes paid her salary and that is where the hilarity began.
I laughed until I cried at her comments, it was just one liner after one liner. I'm not at all condoning this however I do understand that often one gets disrespected on the job and sometimes you can only take so much. Mr Naidoo tried his luck on this lady and let's just say he got served real good. I will give her props for seeing the humour in the situation and handling it in the calm manner that she did. From her comments about how her dad would be proud to see her on TV, her questioning whose salary her tax pays and even her comments about how "superb" the quality of an Apple phone is…if you don't find the humour in this then I just don't know. Some call it childish, others are demanding disciplinary action..whatever does happen in the end will not change that I had myself a damn good laugh. Take a peep.

I discovered Safi thanks to a Vice House Party in Berlin, their live energy blew me away, some kind of powerful and tasteful dark post-punk rock music. Was also happy to discover a heavy a new female-fronted band obviously… They're playing Berlin again on Friday, and you should really check it out!
In the meantime, I asked Safi a few questions about touring and their last show at a boxing game.
LSD: What's the appeal about touring and being on stage?
S: I love being a traveling person – to be a person in motion. I like being on the road. There I can work on new things. There is much to watch, unforeseen – the entire perception machinery is stirred up. If I want to sort and formulate, I retreat under the headphones. As a band, we do not like unhealthy food and the lack of opportunities for retreat, as these two things give us bad energy – and you have to rely on your energy level to give the public the right performance. But most venues try to make it all better… On the road, we like taking photos and making videos, each of us documents for themselves, and then for us together, their own version of the touring experience.
LSD: You just had a show in Berlin, how was it?
S: Yes, we had a very different show than usual – we were allowed to open the evening of the Kreuzberger Kiezboxgala (local box game) in Berlin and played in the boxing ring, in the middle of the hall in front of the PA, at the sold out Lido. I had a few ambitions to box a while ago, and I wanted to see fights anyway. So we hit two birds with one stone. It was an excellent evening with excellent fighters!
LSD: Are you excited for Friday?
S: I'm really looking forward to this show at the Privatclub together with the band Disillusion from Leipzig. Andy Schmidt, the head of the band and music producer, has produced our first album together with Moses Schneider in Berlin and Leipzig. Matthias accompanied a time section of the band on the bass. I also made the artwork for the new single "Alea" from Disillusion that came out just now. We are colleagues and friends and I am very excited about our first evening together!
LSD: Do you have other plans with the band, such as extensive touring, or other, or for yourself with the band or a different project?
S: The most important thing at the moment is to work out the new tracks, make them playable, and redefine the sound body. For this reason, at the moment, we're only playing selective concerts with the current set. I imagine that next year we will play a few new songs live before we finalise them.
So stay tuned to discover more Safi tracks in 2017!

Gulten-free Oil free Bread
I'm excited to share my Gulten-free oil free bread with everyone this recipe reaches. After trying many store bought Gulten-free breads I decided to find a recipe online because what I've experienced so far did not leave me hopeful about going Gulten-free. So I came across a few recipes that we're definitely much better then store bought. So what was missing for me, some of the recipes had a mushy, stickie texture to them. So I started making different variations and finally found one that not only I loved but my whole family approved of and can't seem to stop eating. Usually one loaf last one day in my house so I take that as a good sign that they all love it and I hope you will too. So from my kitchen to yours here's my Gulten-free oil free bread.

South Africa will be among the first countries to have the Mate series smartphones, with all devices slated for launch here. The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is a shade more expensive than its sibling Mate 10. It might be able to do things most smartphones can't do but now it is used very sparingly.
Huawei has launched their latest flagships Huawei Mate 10 and Huawei Mate 10 Pro aiming straight at Samsung, Google and Apple. Mate 10 features a 5.9-inch Quad HD (1440x2560) IPS LCD display with standard 16:9 aspect ratio. The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is priced at Euro 699 (approximately Rs 61,000).
Other Huawei Mate 10 Pro specs include the device's dimensions, 6.07 x 2.93 x 0.31-inches and a weight of 6.27 ounces.
Thoughts about the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro?
Under the hood, Mate 10 houses the company's homegrown HiSilicon Kirin 970 SoC. This is coupled with the Mali-G72 MP12 GPU for enhanced graphics performance. Here's how: both phones are equipped with the new lightning-fast Kirin 970 octa-core processor, which is integrated with what Huawei calls as Neural Network processing units. The HUAWEI Mate 10 Series continues its legacy of superior product performance and long-lasting battery life, while integrating New Leica Dual Camera technology. They combine 12-megapixel RGB + 20-megapixel monochrome sensors, Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), dual lenses with a large aperture of f/1.6, AI-powered Bokeh Effect and AI-powered Digital Zoom. The Huawei smartphones are the first devices to come with the chip. It is also worth pointing out that its fingerprint scanner is located on the rear, unlike Mate 10's, which is tucked below the display. The Neural Processing Unit will fuel the machine-learning features on both these smartphones.

An all-new, simplified EMUI 8.0 based on Android 8.0. The company has also offered higher storage variants for the Pro at 128GB and 256GB with the Porsche Design.
Both these smartphones, Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro, sport a similar design language.
The devices are all set to give flagships from rival companies a run for their money.

I have realized that I never posted last year's Christmas present for my sister. It was another year of knitting up until the deadline. I was not actually still knitting her present when she arrived at my parents house at lease. I did however make part of my mother's present on Christmas day and the second part was finished after. I should probably work on my timing. It has improved slightly as nothing was finished after Christmas this year.
So last year I made my sister a beautiful pair of socks out of Miss Babs Yummy Superwash Sock & Baby Yarn – 2 ply in Moss Monochrome. It was a beautiful colorway. She got socks, because I was informed after giving her a cardigan that did not fit due to pregnancy, I should give her something that would fit even in pregnancy. And for once it was not my sister dictating the orders stated above. Other instances show that she really took to the role of older sibling.
The pattern I chose to use was Nebula by Cookie A. I love the way the socks mirror each other and the panels spiral around the sock. For my sister's socks, I did 16 of the cable repeats before starting the heel flap. What makes the stitching define itself so well is knitting through the back for the knit stitches. And I love that effect.
I found the pattern to be quite enjoyable and did not have that mush of a problem memorizing the stitch patterns. Of course when I switched socks I had to make sure I learned to do the new one so that the socks would mirror.
I really loved the socks and therefore about 2 weeks after I finished my sisters I started another pair. This time I was going to keep them and I made them out of the skein I had only used a smidge of for the Dame. That yarn was the Miss Babs Yummy Superwash Sock & Baby Yarn – 2 ply in the Ironweed Monochrome colorway. I would like to say that these were done shortly later, however I got distracted by other projects. I did finally finish them by the end of May (and may have sent a petty competitive email stating I had finished before someone else). The only difference besides color is that I only did 15 cable repeats before the heel flap. I am against making 7 inch long legs for socks. It just seems longer than necessary and too short to be cool enough to be knee socks.
The aforementioned gifts for my mother where a Calorimetry by Kathryn Schoendorf in Miss Babs Yowza Whata Skein in Mosswood. That is such a neat and handy pattern. I also made one of those for myself. It is a nice alternative to a hat. The other gift that I never got a picture of because it was left as a present when I had to go get a train was A Noble Cowl by Emily Kausalik. That was also a very wonderful pattern.
To round this out without bothering too much what my mom got this Christmas was a replacement of her quilted bag. This time Oranges! The straps of her peapod bags were wearing out. I forgot to bring the pattern, so used the peapod bag as a guide. You may notice the extra sold fabric where the straps are coming down, that is because I did make the straps long enough to hit the solid fabric and refused to turn anymore fabric tubes. Turning two quilted fabric tubes was not the highlight of my Christmas vacation. I also defend my choice to make the bag at my parents on Christmas Eve was not because of poor timing, but the fact that their sewing machine has a table that makes it easier to quilt fabric and mine does not.
That covers many projects. Projects not related to Christmas to follow.

Efficient and Comprehensible Visualization of Complex 3-D Scenes
Michael Burns
The advancement of computer technology has brought about greater ability to model and render complex 3-D scenes. Highly complex structures in these scenes give rise to large amounts of information that can be hidden using conventional rendering and visibility techniques because of occlusion. In order to expose structural information in a complex model, non-photorealistic visibility techniques must be used.

Three alleged breaches of a High Court injunction taken against the organisers of four Belfast bonfires are being investigated, Belfast City Council has said.
Following concerns that a number of July 11 bonfires were becoming dangerously high and/or built too close to property, the council published a court order directing that no further material be brought to the sites.
The injunction related to anyone entering any of the named sites – Ravenscroft Avenue/Bloomfield walkway; Avoniel Leisure Centre car park; Cregagh Park East and Inverary playing fields in Sydenham – "for the purposes of directing, building, organising and/or constructing bonfires and/or providing materials for use on a bonfire".
Some loyalists claimed the injunction was meaningless as it was not properly served on those affected.
Blogger Jamie Bryson said: As far as I'm concerned, for the injunction to take effect, they have to be affixed to the site Nobody is on notice in relation to them so, as far as I am concerned it's not worth the paper it's written on."
A spokeswoman for Belfast City Council said: "Three alleged breaches of the injunction have been reported to the council.
"We will review any information received, and consider what further action is appropriate."
Firefighters responded to 40 bonfire-related incidents across Northern Ireland on the Eleventh Night – including preventing a bonfire spreading to an apartment block at Wellwood Street near Belfast's Sandy Row.

The FSSAI has received a jolt, yesterday, from the Supreme Court for issuing an advisory for which it apparently had no power to do so in the first place. A Supreme Court bench has stated that the FSSAI does not have the power to issue advisories for products which already have licenses and which are being sold in the open market, if it is not in consonance with the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 (FSS Act, 2006). The Bombay High Court in an earlier verdict had indicated that till amendments to this Act were made and till Parliamentary approval had come into place, the particular advisory issued by FSSAI would become null-and-void since it didn't have the power to issue the advisory in the first place. The Supreme Court has backed Bombay High Court's previous verdict.
FSSAI Advisory Challenged
According to the advisory, FSSAI required those marketing or manufacturing nutraceuticals, as well as novel foods, functional foods, food supplements etc. to take prior approval. The Indian Drug Manufacturers Association (IDMA) (formed in 1961 and having 800 members from industry) and Vital Nutraceuticals Pvt. Ltd. (manufacturers of neutraceuticals, functional foods, and dietary food supplements; located in Ambernath, Maharashtra) had challenged the advisory since the FSSAI didn't possess the power or authority to issue the advisory as it amounted to amending regulations framed under section 92 of the FSS Act 2006, and hence should be considered illegal and without statutory force as it did not fall either under section 92 of the Act nor was it in consonance with section 16(2) and 18(2)(d) of the Act.
Importantly, the advisory had put 37 nutraceutical products under the scanner, including Nutralite, Nutralite Iron Folic tablets, Nutralite Bio C etc.
Original Verdict by Bombay High Court
The Bombay High Court had quashed the FSSAI advisory on product approval issued in May 2013. The Bombay High Court opined that the advisory, which required that prior approval be taken for dietary foods and health supplements already licensed and existing in the market, was "unlawful".
Is Product Approval required?
As per the FSS Act Rules & Regulations (under Clause 22), food business operators (FBOs) who manufacture proprietary foods, functional foods, health supplements, nutraceuticals, genetically modified foods, non-conventional food products or products for which the standards have not been prescribed and which are new and have been introduced for the first time in India, are required to apply for product approval with FSSAI. This clause, however, does not mention anywhere that already licensed food products or those already existing in the market, would have to go through the process of product approval. Therefore the existing manufacturers believe that product approval is not required for these neutraceuticals and other health food products, which are already licensed and available in the open market.
FSSAI advisory issued on May 11, 2013
Section 22 of FSS Act states – No person shall manufacture, distribute, sell or import any novel food, genetically modified articles of food, irradiated food, organic foods, foods for special dietary uses, Neutraceuticals, health supplements, proprietary foods and such other articles of food without taking product approval from the central government.
As per FSS Act, Rules & Regulations, if the food product is manufactured by using the ingredients and additives for which there are no guidelines issued under FSS Act/Rules & Regulations, then such food products must be verified and approved by FSSAI, only then shall be allowed to be put in the market for consumption.
FSSAI's advisory of May 11, 2013 had defined categories that required food product approval. As per the advisory food products that are listed in category 1(a) would be given approval immediately as they are in compliance with Codex Alimentarius Commission, the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), the European Union (EU), Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) and so those seeking approval for these '1a' products must apply with documentation to FSSAI.
Category 1(b) foods are not compliant with the Codex Alimentarius or with USFDA but these products have documentary evidence of being safe and so they have been standardised for the Indian consumer. In case any new manufacturer wishes to manufacture any product already being manufactured under category 1(a) and 1(b) then he has to file an application with FSSAI to obtain clearance to manufacture the same.
However, foods listed in 1(c) are those that FSSAI has not cleared as being safe and the product approval shall be granted or denied on the basis of risk assessment.
FSSAI's Draft Regulations for Nutraceuticals, Health Supplements & Others
FSSAI has recently introduced the draft regulations – Food Safety and Standards (Food or Health Supplements, Nutraceuticals, Foods for Special Dietary Uses, Foods for Special Medical Purpose, Functional Foods, and Novel Food) Regulations, 2015. These draft regulations will be finalized and published in the Official Gazette of India after receiving comments & suggestions from the Public domain and the regulations will come into force w.e.f. the subsequent 1st January or 1st July of the year subject to a minimum 180 days from the date of final notification in the Official Gazette. Consequently, the various FBOs will need to comply with these regulations.

Will Sessions – The Elmatic Instrumentals
Posted by dOk | Filed under 2011, Instrumental
The name Will Sessions was born as a producer alias of trumpeter Sam Beaubien. After sharpening his keyboard skills and learning writing and arrangement from the accomplished David Van De Pitte (who arranged for countless Motown recordings including Marvin Gaye's album What's Going On) at Wayne State University, he decided to start a band. With classmates Tim Shellaberger (bass) and Bryan Arnold (drums) along with recruits Ryan Gimpert (guitar) and Eric Kacir (Percussion), the band was complete.T h e y helped to develop a nascent monthly funk music party called Motor City Funk Night, and three years later, the party has grown into one of the sta- ples of the Detroit scene, and Will Sessions were playing in front of crowds of up to 3000 people.
Elmatic had been initially planned and announced in 2008 as a tribute to the historic 1994 album Illmatic by Nas, but it wasn't until early 2011 that Elzhi and his manager Jae Barber agreed that it would be best to recreate all of the beats from scratch–and there was clearly nobody who could do it better than producer Sam Beaubien and Will Sessions. Since it's widely considered to be the holy grail of hip hop recordings, the prospect of du- plicating the music from Illmatic was daunting. By using the original sam- ple sources of the album's tracks as a foundation, producer Beaubien and the band members managed to recreate both the sound and the mood of the classic album with stunning precision on Elmatic, exceeding lofty expectations set by loyal fans and skeptical critics alike.
With an ever-increasing body of recorded work, a skyrocketing reputation within their hometown market, and their first tastes of national and international interest, Will Sessions are primed to be among Detroit's hottest musical exports.

Why do we need National Singles Week? We probably don't really need it, but I must admit that I really like that it's become a "thing". The proper name is National Single and Unmarried Americans Week, which is a little bit of a mouthful, so I hope I don't offend by shortening it.
National Singles Week is celebrated this year, September 15 – 21, 2013 and was started in the 1980s (!) by the Ohio Buckeye Singles Council.
It's purpose is to celebrate single life and recognize singles and their contributions to society. And I like it because it's another opportunity to shine a spotlight on this demographic trend of the growing number of singles in America (and around the world). Regardless of the reason for this growth in the number of singles, the reality is that there are a lot of us and we deserve a voice and we deserve the benefit of the doubt…in that "we're fine". There's not (necessarily) anything wrong with us, we're not (necessarily) crazy…or pathetic…or immature…or angry. We don't hate the opposite sex, and we're good people. And I say "necessarily" in the previous sentences because I want to make the point that we're not necessarily different from marrieds. Some of them are crazy and pathetic and immature and angry, too, ya know. But most of them are fine, too. They're just fine and so are we.
Anyway, I'm doing my part to bring attention to National Singles Week next week. On Tuesday, September 17, from 6-8pm, I'm hosting an event at Sisters Uptown Bookstore and Cultural Center. I'll be joined by Yolanda Shoshana –courtesan extraordinaire– and poet Ainsley Burrows, and it's going to be fun! If you're in the NY/NJ area, I hope you can join us.
Natonal Singles Week isn't about telling people how to live their lives, it's really about learning to love the life you have. Cheers to all of us!

Info: Dublin Indie-Pop-Pop solo act Jon Dots has released his twelfth song of 2017, much of which has gone under the radar, all of which is the most blissful hideaway and escape from the din and clamour. As I grow older I've learned to hate Christmas, not to be a spoilsport or negative, it has just gradually sucked baubles, the important thing is that I don't allow this seething dread impact on those I cherish, after all, they've bought me presents.
Dots' 'Happy Christmas Baby From Me' is just the tonic to this miserable disposition, if a 20-odd year old Roy Orbison were plonked into a recording studio in 2017 this would absolutely be the song he would record. What is most impressive (as is the case in general with Dots' output) is his remarkable and innate ability to reproduce and improve upon classic sounds. The vocal is so smooth, and the pop elements are kind of a work of art, if there's anyone better at this type of composition in Ireland at the moment I'm yet to come across them.
What's left to do but thank Dots for saving me from myself this yuletide, and to share with you another one of his singles. My Christmas present to all of you, is Jon Dots.

Shinkansen. The name must have been familiar for travellers, especially those who love travelling (or at least virtual travelling) to Japan. But as far as I have read, shinkansen is just known to be "super-fast train from Japan". Actually, there are many other trivias about shinkansen that are interesting to know.
So at this time, I would like to share some trivias regarding shinkansen. Hopefully it could be useful for Travelers who are about to visit Japan, to understand the concept that shinkansen has to offer, or at least it could add up your knowledge about shinkansen.
Early History of Shinkansen
Can you believe it that the project of building shinkansen has been initiated since the early of 1930's? At the beginning, this project literally took the translation of the bullet train, which is dangan ressha. The name of shinkansen was initiated on around the 1940's, and shinkansen has its own meaning; "shin" = new, and "kansen" = rail network.
So, it is actually wrong to think that the name of shinkansen means "super-fast train", because shinkansen actually refers to its track. But outside Japan, there are many people mentioning shinkansen with the term superexpress or just bullet train.
Although initiated on 1930's, shinkansen operated for the first time on 1960's. Precisely it was on October 1st, 1964, it was when Tokyo Olympic were held. First, the train speed was "only" around 210 km/hour and could reach the distance between Tokyo – Osaka in only 4 hours (normal trip would require 6 hours and 40 minutes. But as for now, shinkansen has evolved and now its median speed is around 320 km/hour, although during the test drive it could reach up to 581 km/hour.
Getting to Know the Tracks of Shinkansen
This is the one info that most travelers might not have known much. In Indonesia, the whole train tracks are managed by the government. But it is different with the train tracks in Japan which could be managed by private companies. So don't get surprised if when you see the name of a train track in Japan, there would be several company names shows up as well between the track name.
Same applies with the shinkansen tracks. Generally, shinkansen tracks are managed by the group of Japan Railways a.k.a JR. But actually, the tracks are operated by 4 companies united in Japan Railway, they are JR Central, JR West, JR East, and JR Kyushu. Those four operators share responsibilities to handle 6 tracks of shinkansen throughout Japan. Those six tracks of shinkansen and their operators are:
JR Central, managing the track of Tokaido Shinkansen (connecting Tokyo Station and Shin-Osaka Station). The total of track length is 515,4 km and was first opened on 1964.
JR West, managing the track of Sanyo Shinkansen (connecting Shin-Osaka Station and Hakata Station). The total of track length is 553,7 km, and was first opened on 1972-1975.
JR East, managing the track of Tohoku Shinkansen (Tokyo Station to Shin Aomori Station), Joetsu Shinkansen (Omiya Station to Niigata Station), and Nagano Shinkansen/Hokuriku Shinkansen (Takasaki Station to Nagano Station). Tohoku Shinkansen has the track length of 674,9 km, Joetsu Shinkansen is 269,5 km, and Nagano Shinkansen/Hokuriku Shinkansen is 117,4 km.
JR Kyushu, v Kyushu Shinkansen (connecting Hakata Station and Kagoshima Chuo Station). The total of track length is 256,8 km and was first opened on 2004-2011.
And, as additional information, there are also some other tracks dubbed as mini-shinkansen. Those are Yamagata Shinkansen (connecting Fukushima-Shinjo) and Akita Shinkansen (connecting Morioka-Akita).
There are also regular train tracks that were not specially designed for shinkansen but still be able to get through by shinkansen. Those are: Hakata Minami Line (connecting Hakata – Hakata-minami) and Gala-Yuzawa Line (technically is just a branch of Joetsu Line).
Besides those tracks, actually there are still several other tracks that are currently developed. But I am pending it at this point, because if the article gets too long, it might get you dizzy.
By the way, is there anyone of you curious of why you should know about the names of shinkansen tracks? By knowing the tracks of shinkansen, travellers could have got more varied choices of rail passes.
All this time, most foreign tourists know only JR Pass as its only unlimited ticket to get on the whole JR train (including shinkansen). Though actually, by knowing the probability of other tracks to take, there are many choices of other rail passes that also cover shinkansen and the price is even cheaper.
Ticket, ticket, and ticket
When taking a regular train, a passenger only needs to buy 1 kind of ticket. Next, all he needs to do is just to sit back until he reaches his destination, if he gets a seat. But in shinkansen, the system is a bit different. The ticket consists of several sub-items. The detail is as below:
- Basic tariff. This is the standard tariff to travel from place A to B. Just like any regular train, the tariff rates may vary according to the distance.
- Shinkansen supplement. It is an extra tariff charged to access the shinkansen train.
- Reserved Seat Ticket. Basic tariff mentioned above is purely the tariff for the trip only. If you want to reserve a seat (to make sure you have a place to sit on during the whole trip), there is an extra tariff charged. The amount of it may be different between regular days and holiday period. It is usually around ¥320*, ¥520*, or ¥720*. But if you want to be more frugal, you can simply just not reserve a seat and directly go on the train.
- Green car fee. Green car is the term to the God's wagon, or the first class wagon. What differs it from the regular wagon? I'll explain about it on a separate part.
So, when riding a shinkansen, normally the passenger needs to pay the basic tariff + shinkansen supplement + reserved seat ticket + green car fee (if he wants to be in the first class wagon). That is why everytime I am writing about shinkansen ticket at many articles on this blog, I always add up a note of "seat tariff is not included"
Additional info, normally the basic tariff ticket and shinkansen supplement is written separately (passenger will receive 2 different kinds of ticket). But there are times when both basic tariff ticket and shinkansen supplement is written in one same ticket. If using the rail pass (ex: JR Pass), passenger will no longer need to think of how much is the basic tariff or the shinkansen supplement he needs to pay and he could also reserve a seat for free.
Then where could we buy the ticket for shinkansen? We'll continue on the next trivia. Let's have a rest first!
