By way of shameless self advertisement, I came across this website when I Googled my name tonight: [openlibrary.org]...
Thanks for sharing this. And thanks for being shameless about it. Somebody has to.
From a fan.
If any of you are in San Francisco April 20th from 7-9pm I'm reading that night.
I hope you will come to my poetry reading on Monday, April 20th 2009 at 7:00pm at Caffe Greco, 423 Columbus Avenue. I'll be reading from my new book. Please invite a friend. Hope to see you there,

CAFFE' GRECO 423 Columbus Avenue
Peter Sherburn-Zimmer reading from Approximations
from THE POET'S GALLERY APRIL 2009 CALENDAR
I should read the Frivolous thread more often, especially when the rest of Emule seems rather quiet: whether to wish Peter an appreciative audience at Caffe Greco; or to enjoy the adrenalin rush that comes from disagreeing strongly with Ezra Pound's quoted views about the uselessness of literary devices in poetry (a good thing he didn't follow such nonsense when editing TS Eliot); or to be moved by Joe's post a month ago about someone I'd never heard of before, Ed Freeman.
Thanks Joe, for that post. What a hero! His story reminds me of another who sadly didn't survive so long, but who with the aid of a donkey, became a legend for rescuing, in only 4 weeks, more than 300 wounded from the battlefields at Gallipoli.

PS: I don't begrudge Paul Newman his publicity. What a great actor! His portrayl in 'The Verdict' of the washed up, alcoholic lawyer overcoming huge difficulties (including the readiness of his clients to turn against him) to win his case was utterly convincing. James Mason as his antagonist in that case was pretty good too.
Fascinating and inspiring story about Private Simpson. I wonder how many more stories of true heroes have gone virtually unknown, or are known by only a few. Given man's propensity for war over the ages, I imagine there are thousands upon thousands.
As to Paul Newman; the comparison to Ed Freeman was actually a part of the article and was made by the author, I'm sure, to draw attention to how society largely ignores people who should be highly respected in favor of those whose achievements are, at best, fleeting. Case in point: the TV news here in the U.S. was flooded this weekend with stories about Madonna's failed attempt to adopt a second child in Malawi, while some truly caring people I know have done a marvelous job over the past 20 years as foster parents for more than a dozen needy or abandoned children...with no fanfare at all (not that they want any). There are many more stories like theirs that should be publicized to inspire others. It just shows where society's priorities lie (lay?).
Terry Johnson (Merc) sent me a note about his meeting Ed Freeman a few years back. It was quite poignant and one I hope he will consider sharing with others here on the forum.
P.S. Newman's work in The Verdict was, as you say, "utterly convincing."

Three of the gods, begging, in the desert, came upon a camel driver, a musician and a cobbler, each willing to exchange their beings for one day. The cobbler was old, but on his way home. The musician was in the middle of a new composition. The driver was lost. Each hoped to see his way to the end of the day. That was all. What will you give me in exchange?-- Each god asked each man. Each, the camel driver, the cobbler, and the musician, gave the gods the same answer: I will give you a day of rest. Men and gods were happy for a day.
April 5, 2009
That sounds profound, and the ending is obviously happy, at least for a day, which is comforting, but I don't understand what the bargain was, or indeed why the gods needed to beg. Perhaps I am rendered dumb by having consumed the better part of a bottle of wine with dinner. Where did this story come from, Peter?
I made it from my own being. Since I am a poet, I get to utilize the mythopoetic process, out of which original myth arises. That subconscious shared through the common access to language makes it possible for me [and other 'makers'] to recognize that when gods dwell among humans, they are almost always begging, or at least their sandals are in need of repair. Perhaps that is one of the reasons that in the ancient world it was so important to treat strangers with the utmost courtesy, see Homer's little tales for instance. One never knows when one might be entertaining one of the deities.
Perhaps camel driver gives a god the use of his camel, the cobbler new sandals, and the musician, the comfort of his music. In return, I think, the gods gave each of the men another day of life, that is, a day of rest...there are other ambiguities here I would not be content to merely unfold, explaining fables is never as satisfying as creating them, obviously. I am never satisfied with my explanations of the myths I create.
c'est ca.
Thanks for asking and for reading.
In what tone of voice are you invoking that word, Mr P?
In a, "Hello, how are you?" sort of way. Then add some of my arrogance spice blend.
Hope all's going well for you, Percival. We all need your spice in our lives.

Not sure where else to put this but I'm sure it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. As I was always under the impression, though, this is the place for off-topic posts having little to do with the poerty posted herein.
Some of you may remember me from years back (but probably not). I had posted here for years under several different aliases then stopped suddenly. I've since come out of my severe poetic coma as fate has lead me to do so. I found that no aparent impact was coming of my poetry, save to be read by some of the greatest minds I've never known. As if that and keeping me somewhat sane for those few years wasn't enough...I gave up on poetry completely.
I've read, posted and commented on many poems here. But I never put my thoughts to work. They fell short as merely thoughts without action. However, I've found a way to do so in my own style - lyrically. I'm sure that many of you will not appreciate the form in which I've chosen to express my poerty but on the off chance my passion for writing will be revealed more clearly than in writing itself, I'd like anyone interested to visit www.myspace.com/solacefadesnj - This is not an advertisement so please don't view it as one. I only want to share the product of my writing with those who read it first.
None sense. We are lazy, mostly blind, and very slow. Bring your work here.
What Mr. P said
seriously, pretty much all I write is lyrics
go for it
Shadow, unless your work is under copyright, there's no reason you couldn't post it in both places.

The Poem I mentioned under Kris' piece called The Poem.
Whatever it is it must have
A stomach that can digest
Rubber, coal, uranium, moons, poems.
Like the shark it contains a shoe.
It must swim for miles through the desert
Uttering cries that are almost human.

I hope each of you will post more poems this month.
Is it okay if pseudo-poets post too?
Absolutely, if they know who we are.
btw, I've been posting less than a poem a day for the last three eeks, lol.
I was referring to myself.
I think I know who all of you are. It's me I'm still trying to figure out.
Eek! Eek ! Eek !
Oh? Then who am I? I would return this favor but know too little of you. You may request other information in return.
Just kidding around. I claim no insights. I figured somebody would jump on that line.
But seriously -- I consider many of the people here (including you Percival) to be poets. I think of myself as someone who sometimes writes poems -- and considering becoming a poet. (a psuedo-poet or poet wanna be).
It's a minor distinction, and only a measure of the degree of dedication. But I think someone who dedicates themselves intently to poetry (as many here do) deserves some greater recognition and respect for doing so. Unfortunately we only have words to express how we feel about such things. And Words, names and titles are seldom enough to explain a feeling.
Try as we might to make them so.

Riki Chen video's this Monday night at Greco Caffe...without my knowing it.
7:04 PM All day at the wedding. Over 50 people there I saw I knew...kind of weird...dont know if that has ever happened before.
You mean seeing over 50 people you know all in one place?
lol Country living and city living.
Mary, I think you are being sarcastic, but surprise at teh number would be a normal reaction here. Some may not appreciate the difference in cultures.
We rarely find 50 people in one place around here. Never mind 50 people you know. Maybe some very special funerals and weddings, or a high school football game. (But that requires two towns to pull it off.)
My commute to work for over 20 years was 18 miles each way. Normally I might encounter 4 to 6 cars going in and about twice that going home.
Just a little perspective.
re:perspective Steevo, the town I live in had 808,976 - Jul 2008 - shows how much I get around, Peter
Steve, I wasn't being sarcastic at all. I was simply affirming with Peter that what I was reading into his comment was exactly what he was addressing in it.
After four years of conversing with you, Peter, and whatever it is that I know or think I know of your years in SF, I would say perhaps the chasm between your life out East and there has narrowed a little more than you knew? That's neat.
So I wish e-mule didn't come up as being a site noted to have dangerous downloads. I wonder if the owners could do anything to clean it up.
"dangerous downloads" sounds like a euhemism.
Could mean anything from crass toilet humor to commentary on some of the stuff I've posted.
Yahoo just told me to change my password because it has been 'violated.' The emails I get from Angelic sound like they are from a psychotic hacker, NOT HER. I think that is what they are referring to, the danger of viruses and malicious hackers.
Yes, Peter, that's what I think too. It's just that when googling other sites, I don't think I've seen too many, if any, of those types of warnings. E-mule, however, has red check marks and warnings and a site advisor pops up when here. That's more than a little disconcerting when it's one of the places I most like to visit when online. I was thinking that the patrons here would probably appreciate if something could be done about it by the owners. Or, if it's something some of us are doing unknowingly (like when posting links to music), we could be informed and directed not to. My new computer recently crashed and I'd hate to think a virus caught on e-mule caused it...or worse yet, that there's someone (instead of just some thing) among us causing it.
Les, I noticed you don't as often post the links to the music on the lyrics thread. We had discussed this issue when Percival brought it up some time back and you were of the opinion there wasn't anything wrong with doing so (R/T copyright). Do you think it's a bad idea related to bringing unwanted adware, spyware, etc. to the site? Just wondering. When I'm at a loss for poetry, music is the next best thing, but I'll certainly bypass the urge if it could be contributing to problems for the site.
One thing that confuses me about your experience with these things at E-mule is that I have none of these problems here that you mention, which makes me suspect it might be something specific to what you let on your computer or some specific thing you are during or maybe a problem with your firewall and the specific safety software you use...but also have no expertise in those areas. Maybe Percival or someone you know can advice you on that. I do not think it is the site itself.
I don't know much about these things either and I do very little on the world-wide web beside use e-mail, play computer games, and visit e-mule. Young people today, on the other hand, are very adept and active on the computer. Instant messaging has replaced the telephone as a favorite pass-time for teens (this can be limited to just their circle of friends from school or people they know).The telephone seems to be reserved for "text" messaging. Using i-tunes to download music onto MP3 players or I-pods has replaced the stereo system as we knew it.
With viruses and problems I've encountered, I would tend to want to put the blame on the activities of the other, more computer savvy, people with access to my computer. That same savvy, however, also spreads into the world of virus protection.
With my computer disabled, I am now using my son's. He apparently has better virus protection downloaded onto his, which gives messages about sites that have been tested and found to have dangerous downloads. In other words, sites to avoid if you don't want problems for your computer.
As he didn't have e-mule bookmarked, I had to google it when first accessing the site from his computer. E-mule was highlighted with a warning. When I proceeded and came here anyway, a Site Advisory (with a picture of a bug next to it) appears at the bottom of the screen and remains there until I X-out of e-mule.
So as much as I still don't know for sure if e-mule was the cause of yet another computer crash for me, there are definitely some problems noted to be here that are not just conjecture or my imaginatio, Peter. It's come down to my son telling me he doesn't want me to visit e-mule on his computer for fear it will cause problems on his as well. He apparently heeds the site advisories.
Hold onto your Windows CD like a birth certificate. Keep the book and other shit that comes with it. Possessing that allows you to "Reformat" your computer. Pop the CD in, click a few of the options, and the process begins. The action of this process is to delete everything on your computer, EVERYTHING, and reinstall windows and ONLY windows. Now your computer is as it was when you first got it.
Assuming you didn't break your hardware somehow, which is extremely unlikely minus a power surge. Always have your computers, ALWAYS have them on good surge bars, round 30-50 bucks is about how much I pay for my surge bar. Anyway, assuming your hardware is fine, this fixes everything. Haven't seen a software problem this hasn't fixed.
Now, there are a variety of problems. One, it takes a little knowledge to do. Pretty much just pop the CD in, click yes a lot, and you done, but there are 2 or 3 spots where you have to guide it. Easy to learn, go find a guide.
Another problem, as we've discussed in unrelated conversations, people have a tendency to ignore their problems until they become unmanageable. Same problem here. Your computer can get so loaded with viruses that you can't even get the damn thing to start, much less read and run a CD. Don't ever let that happen. Reformat before then. If it gets to that point, replace your Hard drive (hardware, main memory), and have someone format it with your CD.
Third problem, Drivers and CDs. Just like keeping the Windows CD, you NEED to keep the CDs of ALL programs you want to keep. Once reformatted, windows is reinstalled, you have a blank slate, all that other shit you had on your computer is gone. You HAVE to reinstall what you want on there.
Forth, general information you want to keep that isn't a program. Text files, pictures, music, bookmarks, files that are your personal information fed into program, such as bookkeepers, calendars, shit like that, that all needs to be put on a disc, or CD, or a thumb drive BEFORE reformatting as it will be deleted along with everything else on there.
So, review. Keep your fucking Windows CD. Learn how to reformat. Reformat before it's too late. Back up all your files, all the time. These are all fucking simple to do. All of them. You don't need to know how the god damned thing works, you just need to know how to do these things and your computer will run for decades.
Yes, Percival, and thank you. You forgot the part about after all is reformatted and hunky dory again, make sure to have a reliable anytivirus, antispyware program.
I already found out exactly how many CD's vs. DVD's I need to back everything up. but keep forgetting to buy them. I also do save every CD that comes with the computer or any other CD's for programs, printer, devices etc. I'll let you know how it all went when I get done.
That's the point of this whole thing, it's the last resort. Takes at least an hour or two. It works, it's simple, viruses gone completely. Getting into anti-viruses adds complications. Scan, scan often, use multiple scanners, don't use a program that's taking up too much system resources or you're just gonna slow the computer down more than a virus would, lot of anti-virus conflict with each other, some fucking set up firewalls that complicate every god damned thing, pain in the fucking ass.
I don't even buy anti-viruses. Plenty of free ones that do the job, and I don't wander around sites that you find viruses on. I honestly don't know where you people get your shit from. Figure you goody-two-shoes would be on christian card crafting sites or something. Where the hell are you getting these high class viruses? Checking out young poet stud porn again?
So whats fucking with the format on the forum? Just my computer that's making the poems and lyrics ugly?
It's not your computer, Percival. Looks like another system glitch in a long line of glitches that continue to drive emule contributors away. Pity.

As if I wasn't hard enough to comprehend before ! I looked back on some of the old stuff and it looks terrible
I haven't forgotten you guys...hope all is well
Same back to you...the distorting mirror seems a test to me...if the semantic and aesthetic will make it to the ball without its prom dress on...a test, a test, the windows come unblessed...
but keep at it just,
precede your post with < pre>
put < /pre> two lines after it to retain delineation...dropping the space after the first arrow.
Good to see you're still around, Johnny.
Hey Peter: I'm impressed with your computer wizardry!
As I always say, I'm always around. Simply waiting.
Speaking of, should we jump ship? It's not as if things have ever gotten better. There's camus' place, if we can tolerate what is sure to be being lorded over. Bruce's, though I don't know if he still maintains one. Either way I don't know the address for either nor how to contact either.
I like this place as a place to go to when I want familiar faces. Maybe I'm just lazy and maybe I am a litte over optimistic that the administrators will get their act together and take care of the glitches.
Well that's the point. We keep those faces by luring them with a working site. We leave behind, here, a message we ritually bump directing them to the new forum.
As for the admins, well. As I said, things have gone downhill for years.
Simple fact of the matter is the mule is dying. No one wants to put up with the various hassles, random attacks, quarterly breakdowns, reregistrations, blah, blah, blah. Plus, all this prevents new blood from coming, which gives the old boys less things to gawk at.
Less the admins get crackin soon, the mule dies. We ain't gotta go down with it.
So the primary motive for posting poems to the poetry forum cant be the discussion of the poems since there is very little discussion of the poems themselves.
Peter, I think you may be right. A few of us academics tend to value the art of writing, while most ohters seem to use the site as some sort of means of social networking.
Hacked again, these guys need a better security system.

I don't mind the social networking; I often enjoy it. But I do like to know what people think of my work and why, Les.

"The Nutcracker's" signature song is probably stuck in your head.
"The Nutcracker's" signature song is probably stuck in your head.
"Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" has been used in countless commercial jingles.
But watching a ballerina dance to the bell-like music is the best way to hear it.
"Even though people know the music - a little too much - our version of 'The Nutcracker' is about childhood," said Stuart Caroll, artistic director of Capitol Ballet Company.
"We fill the children's roles with kids and that is important because it fits so well with the storyline."
Capitol Ballet Company will perform "The Nutcracker" by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky at San Joaquin Delta College on Saturday with help from 20 local dancers from Stockton Ballet.
"I am honored to dance with them and I feel proud when dancing on stage," 13-year-old Ariana Low of Stockton said of what it's like to be performing in the classic Christmas ballet for the sixth time.
"I am a Russian doll in the second half of 'The Nutcracker.' We perform for Clara in the Kingdom of Sweets."
Elaine Orimo, director of Stockton Ballet, said the opportunity for her dancers to perform with the pros helps make everything she tries to teach click.
"It's great to have our kids exposed to that level," said Orimo, who is also performing in "The Nutcracker" in the role of governess. "When they see what these dancers are capable of it is such a revelation to them. They think, 'Oh, that's what she means.' "
Capitol Ballet Company and Stockton Ballet have been collaborating on "The Nutcracker" for nearly a decade now.
And it's a tradition that isn't getting old.
"We love coming to Stockton," Carroll said. "We aren't just an outside group coming in. We work closely with our partners in Stockton."
While this version of "The Nutcracker" is lively, it's also polished.
"You can relate to what's happening on stage. The tipsy guests, kids running wild from too much sugar," Carroll said. "At the same time, our principal dancers are established. We have a wonderfully beautiful ballerina who is the epitome of elegance partnered with a wonderfully dashing established artist who trained with the Bolshoi Ballet Academy."
Arsen Serobian is paired with ballerina Ruth Langill in the classic ballet that starts off with a girl, Clara, who receives a special nutcracker as a gift at her family's Christmas party.
"It's turning from a childhood into a adolescent romance," Carroll said of the story line. "I suppose it's a young girl's childhood fantasy."
And one young dancer's favorite part?
"I love the snow scene," Ariana said. "My favorite part is when the performers do their grand jet�s."
Say what? You know, the long horizontal jump ballerinas are so good at.
Like doing the splits airborne.
You just have to see it.

Twitter adds photo tools to challenge Instagram
Twitter unveiled tools to adjust the color, size and style of photosuploaded via applications for Apple iPhones and Android phones.
Twitter unveiled tools to adjust the color, size and style of photos uploaded via applications for Apple iPhones and Android phones, as the social-media site adds features to compete with Facebook's Instagram.
The photo filters, developed in partnership with software maker Aviary Inc., are part of an update to the mobile apps made available yesterday, San Francisco-based Twitter said in a blog post.
Twitter is letting users add pictures, video and audio to their postings as it steps up competition with Facebook, which bought photo-sharing service Instagram earlier this year. Last week, Instagram disabled a feature called Twitter Cards for showcasing photos and other media. The move was seen as a step that better prepares Instagram for generating revenue from its own services by driving traffic to its website.
Twitter's updated photo-enhancing apps will probably bring more exposure to Aviary, a New York-based startup with backing from Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos and LinkedIn Corp. co-founder Reid Hoffman.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is launching three manufacturing hubs and is asking Congress to create 15 more that can create locations with partnerships between the private sector and the federal government to create high-tech jobs.
The proposal is a central element of Obama's plan to spur manufacturing, which has been a bright spot in the U.S. economy. Manufacturing expanded at a much faster pace in January compared with December.
Obama said the government could help accelerate that trend.
He specifically cited companies that are creating jobs in the U.S. that had been overseas, including Caterpillar, Ford, Intel and Apple.
He called for continued spending on science and innovation.

hey Jono, i know what you mean, the inflation rate is around 2% but you didn not take into account the most important thing and that is that inflation and debt are exponential functions They tell you how they control the inflation but that are fairy tales
The simpelest way to explain is, that there is a lot more money in the whole world right now, than there was, when the inflation rate was 10%. I will give and example, but the numbers are fiction. So at start there was only 1000$(or million if you want, but i doubt it was that much) so it was a lot easier to inject 10%, which is 100$. Now when there is houndreds of zillion $ in the world, so you really cant add 10% which is zillions
I will post two links, if you want to read them, the first one also explains in a very simple way why we are so f**** and why those new $ and € matter a LOT!
Here it is: http://www.seankerrigan.com/exponential ... explained/
and this one also explains what i am talking about, but not so interesting:

Wet feet, drenched socks, blisters... if any of those things happen, you will not be in a pleasant mood. To prevent all of that from happening, this 8 " work boot was built with Rocky waterproof construction, which is GUARANTEED to keep your feet dry.
The Goodyear welt construction has the responsibility of holding this boot together, and it does a magnificent job. As a result of this type of construction, these Rocky Core work boots will have greater strength, durability and can be resoled easily. This feature turns these work boots into an investment, because you will not have to buy new work boots year after year.
Hardy lugs were incorporated into the outsole design to ensure that you receive reliable traction, which helps you to have grip even on uneven terrain.

At an awards ceremony and dinner on December 8, the
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
announced the winners of Rob Pruitts 2010 Art Awards, the second annual celebration honoring notable individuals, exhibitions, and projects that made a significant contribution to the field of contemporary art during the past year. Awards in 15 categories were presented at a fundraising event benefiting the Guggenheim Foundation and visual arts nonprofit White Columns on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, at the nightclub and music venue Webster Hall.
Artist Rob Pruitt, whose conceptual practice is rooted in a pop sensibility and a playful critique of artworld structures, conceived the event as a performance-based artwork that follows the format of a Hollywood awards ceremony. Designed with a flourish of showbiz glamour, the Art Awards harness the energy and accomplishments of the international arts community while simultaneously supporting two of its institutions.
A group of more than 1,000 artists and arts professionals were invited to form an anonymous Art Awards Council to nominate and then vote upon four nominees in categories that focus primarily on exhibitions and projects that took place over the past year (July 2009 to July 2010), in the United States, as well as one category recognizing an international exhibition. The Rob Pruitt Award was decided solely by the artist. The winners for each category are:

Clayton Kershaw, who is really good at baseball, took care of things Monday for the Dodgers as he was flat-out dominant. It was glorious.
We talk a little more about the first game before getting into the good stuff -- the Dodger minor-league rosters.
Nothing really shocking, but we go over all four full-season teams and choose some guys to watch and some potential movers.
We're both of the consensus that the Chattanooga Lookouts are the class of the farm system, boasting players like Yasiel Puig, Zach Lee, Joc Pederson and Onelki Garcia.
Finally, we close with some good listener questions.

This petition from the convention in Hampshire County asks the Massachusetts State House of Representatives and Senate (the General Court) for relief from a list of nine grievances. Most of the grievances are a result of the deflation of money that happened after the American Revolution ended. The petition is dated January 4, 1787, just three weeks before the assault on the Federal Arsenal in Springfield. Many of the demands are the same as the ones issued August 25, 1786 by another convention held in Hatfield.

UK Delivery
|UK Zone
|Under £10
|Mainland UK
|Highlands & Isles
|Northern Ireland
|Channel Islands
If we have the item you have ordered in stock then delivery should take no more than 2 working days, except in busier Christmas times when our delivery times may be slightly delayed. Where we don't have an item in stock we try to specify an accurate delivery time in the Availability/Delivery column for the particular item (please note that we are at the mercy of our suppliers and sometimes the delivery time may be longer than estimated). If you need an item by a specific date, e.g. for a birthday, then give us that date in the comments so we can try to comply.
We have a range of options that will become clear during the ordering process, with a pricing structure for premium services. UK mainland orders above £10 will always have free standard delivery, but we have given you the option to upgrade shipping to best suit your needs. As we are able to alter these prices on a moment notice it is best to progress your order to see the available prices for premium services.
Large/Expensive Orders: Large or expensive orders are shipped by UKMail or DPD. Orders shipped by our couriers usually arrive within 1 working day (occasionally 2 days depending on geographical location). It is necessary that someone must be in to sign for orders delivered by our couriers or your parcel will taken back to your local depot. You may specify in your order notes that your parcel can be left in a secure location or with an available neighbour, although if you specify an order can be left without a signature we cannot be held responsible if the parcel goes missing.
If your order is to be shipped by our couriers please try to provide a shipping address where you know someone will be around to sign for the parcel (such as a work address). This is especially important for orders which are needed ASAP or for Christmas! Changing the delivery address after the parcel has been shipped incurs a charge (usually £10) from our couriers which we will pass onto you. Refusal of a parcel which is then shipped back to us also incurs a £10 charge which again has to be passed onto the customer.
Small/Inexpensive Orders: Small and inexpensive items which are shipped via Royal Mail are usually shipped on a Second Class service. The rising costs of Royal Mail services have forced us to move away from First Class shipping, although we occasionally use it depending on order value. Please note that we cannot send replacement items for missing Royal Mail parcels until they have been missing within the postal service for 14 working days at which point we may declare them lost. These are the guidelines set by Royal Mail and as such we must adhere to them.
Highlands & Islands Orders: Orders shipped by Royal Mail Standard Parcel Service take between 7 and 10 working days to arrive (Royal Mail Standard Parcel Service is used to ship orders to places which are outside of the mainland UK, such as Northern Ireland, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Islands of Scotland). Please note we have to allow 15 working days for a parcel to be delivered. We also use the Collect+ service and DPD for parcels to Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and Highland & Islands and we aim to use the best service to get the parcel to you safe and sound.
Premium Services
Courier Upgrade: We offer an upgrade to prioritise your order in the shipping queue on a premium courier service. We aim to ship all Courier Upgrade orders received up until 1pm on the same day during weekdays, orders placed at the weekend will ship at the earliest opportunity on Monday. During busier times such as Christmas this may in rare cases be pushed out to two days although we always endeavour to get the parcels out on the same day if the order is placed before 1pm.
AM/PM Delivery: On most mainland UK addresses we are able to offer a service that guarantees a delivery attempt before or after midday. We are unable to get a specific time slot within these time frames but they should arrive in the AM or PM selected.
Saturday Delivery: We can offer a Saturday delivery service to most of the UK. Orders have to be placed before midday Friday to ensure us enough time to process the order. You can select this option at any point during the week, we will ensure that the parcel is delivered on the Saturday. Please note that we also offer this service to customers in the Highlands and Islands, although the cut off for this is Thursday at midday as the couriers need extra time to get the parcel to you.
International Shipping
For orders being shipped overseas we use a number of couriers, including DPD, Spring International, and Fedex. This service usually takes somewhere between 5 and 10 working days (depending on destination). Larger parcels will always have a tracking facility to check the progress of your delivery.
We offer shipping to most countries all over the world beyond our green isle. We have sourced the most competitive shipping prices in order to keep the cost down, and we constant strive to reduce these costs where possible. We regularly review our shipping partners, so where we can drive the shipping cost down we will endeavour to push our shipping price down.

- We are unable to ship to Indonesia or Timor-Leste.
Any items purchased from Kates Skates may be returned at your own cost within 30 days of your purchase. Please note that returns in relation to Christmas are accepted up until the end of January. After 30 days returns are only accepted at our discretion. You may return your purchase for either a full refund or exchange for a replacement item.
We must stipulate that the products being sent back to us have to be in NEW AND UNUSED CONDITION. This means;
- Product must be in its original packaging - be it box, bag, or wrapper.
- Clothes - must be unworn, all tags and stickers attached, folded neatly (follow the creases!) back into its original packaging. No hair, skin, sweat, smoke stink or laundry attempts please.
- Skates/Shoes - must be unworn, to check the size and fit please try them on clean carpeted floor as to not dirty up the soles. All packaging materials should be included in the return. Take care of the box - see below.
- DVD/Video - must be in original sealed condition - we are unable to accept any opened DVD's or Videos or Betamax as to prevent piracy - arrrrrr!
- We manage to send items out nice and neatly packaged and would appreciate that you could treat the products in the same way. We have to place a surcharge of 10% of the item value on all returns that have intentionally defaced packaging. That means that a pair of shoes sent through the post with gaffer tape sealing just the original box is frowned upon. Very frowned upon >: ( . We send a lot of products out in toughened plastic shipping bags, which turned inside out provides a perfect reshipping wrapper, it's ecologically friendly too.
We are unable to accept returns on;
- Skateboards that have been gripped as per your instruction, they are no longer sealed and customised to your original request.
If you send us a product that breaks these rules then we reserve the right to charge for repackaging a product in the case of defaced packaging, or even send the product back to you at your cost if the item has been used and is no longer in resellable condition.
We can only advise on the best way to ship an item back to us, but we do not recommend that you spend a small fortune on a premium service such as Special Delivery Next Day before 9am. It is in your best interest to get a confirmation of shipping to prove that the item has been sent. Royal Mail provides a "Certificate of Posting" which should be kept safe until the return/exchange is completed. Companies like MyHermes and Collect+ typically offer better value for larger parcels than Royal Mail currently offer, so it may be worth your while to shop around. Remember that shipping your item back to us is at your own cost.
Faulty Items: if you think that you may have a faulty item because of a manufacturing fault, please contact us for a returns number and with a description of the issue. We may request that you email us with pictures of the fault to speed up the process. Once you have obtained a returns number then please send the faulty item back to us. We will then further inspect the product and contact you. From time to time we may need to send some item back to the supplier/manufacturer for their opinion. If we need to do this we will inform you either via email or telephone. If we feel that your product is faulty we will issue a full refund including your return postage.
Any skateboard decks that are returned as faulty (delamination only) will be dealt with by the supplier. We cannot replace broken skateboard decks or decks with stress/pressure cracks as the rough nature of the sport deems this as a rider error as opposed to a manufacturing error. The majority of board breaks happen when landing a trick and the feet do not land in the correct position and not due to a manufacturing fault.
Returns from farther afield than the UK: As stated before, returns are at your own costs.
Your receipt included with your order doubles up as your returns form so please do not throw it away. Information on how to return goods is detailed on this form.
When we receive the item(s) back we will take the appropriate action and either refund your money or send out new goods at the earliest opportunity.
Cancelling an order under the Distance Selling Regulations
In accordance with the Distance Selling Regulations, you have 7 working days from the day after you receive the goods to cancel your order.
We will accept confirmation of order cancellation via telephone if your order is submitting and yet to be dispatched as well as email or letter. If your order has been dispatched, you must write a letter to us to request cancellation, we will not accept any other method of cancellation. The letter can be sent within the parcel of goods being returned. You must include your order number, name and billing address.
We will cancel and refund the order including original postage costs as long as the whole order is returned. You will be refunded within 30 days. We cannot accept cancellation of an order if goods have been made specific for a customer and have been dispatched.
We strongly recommend recorded or signed for delivery so the parcel is insured and trackable as all goods are the your responsibility until they have reached Kates Skates. You must take reasonable care of the goods while in your care and they will be returned at your own cost. All goods must be returned within 7 days of the requested cancellation.
All goods should be returned with their original labels and packaging in appropriate wrapping for transit. We will not accept goods returned with postage labels attached to the products or the product packaging for example, shoe boxes.

The riverside site of the stores is located on what was a gateway to the new colony. Prisoners and guards disembarking would make their way past the building to reach the other buildings of the settlement.

old pavilion worship space with the beginnings of construction for the new
Things are afoot at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. We have been worshiping under a pavilion in the former cathedral parking lot, located between the old cathedral and the old convent.
However, we have a big event coming up later this month: the consecration of the Diocese of Haiti's first suffragan bishop. After 150 years, this is a big deal. We are the biggest diocese numerically in the Episcopal Church, so there is a lot of territory to be covered. The cathedral already needed a more solid worship space, something with doors and walls (I heartily concur as I listen to the downpour outside), and Holy Trinity Music School needs a place to hold concerts since the destruction of the Salle Ste Cecile two years ago. With the upcoming consecration and the need for space for the guests, this new, much larger pavilion is going to be a real blessing. If I understand correctly, the sides of the building will not go on until afterwards, which will leave more space around the building open for the congregation.
Canon Oge Beauvoir is the suffragan bishop-elect who will soon make history in the Diocese of Haiti. Read Sarah's entire post and see the rest of her pictures to find out what else is afoot at the site in Port-au-Prince.
Sarah, a Sister of St Margaret and an Episcopal priest, is in Haiti to help with the recovery from the earthquake that devastated the country a couple of years ago.

Marseille and Joey Barton have apologised to Paris Saint-Germain and Thiago Silva over offensive statements the midfielder made on Twitter about the defender on Wednesday.
The Parisian team, who currently top Ligue 1, called the "attacks" unacceptable and said that they would take action if deemed necessary.
However, Barton and his adoptive club have apologised for his conduct in a bid to draw a line under the matter.
"L'Olympique de Marseille and Joey Barton wish to apologise to Thiago Silva and his club for the inappropriate statements held by the English player on social networks during the past 36 hours," the statement read.
"This morning, the management asked Olympian Joey Barton to put an end to the controversy which opposed him to the Brazilian defender.
"The Olympian midfielder pledged to immediately cease the posting of any derogatory statements against Thiago Silva."
Barton, currently on loan from QPR, is no stranger to controversy and made comments on Twitter after the Brazil international's press conference in which Silva said that "no-one is talking" about Barton and that he did not remember the midfielder's name.
"2 questions for Thiago Silva. Firstly, Why are YOU talking about ME, in your press conference before PSG v Barca? Very strange," Barton wrote.
"Secondly, Are you Pre-Op or Post-Op? #transsexual #thiagosaladyboy... Baffles me, which way he's going. Is he a man changing to a woman or a woman changing to a man? Can't work it out."

Former Astro Pittman passes away at age 60
by Richard Dean
June 14, 2014
(c) Houston Astros
HOUSTON -- Houston native Joe Pittman, a former player, scout and longtime member of the Astros' organization, has passed away at the age of 60.
An infielder, Pittman was drafted by the Astros in 1975 and played for the club for two seasons (1981-82). Known as "Shoes," he also played in the Major Leagues for San Diego ('82) and San Francisco ('84). Pittman later served as a scout for the Astros from 1988-2003, which included a stint as a Minor League instructor in 1996.
The Astros released a statement Saturday that said, "We are saddened to learn of the passing of Joe Pittman, who was a member of the Astros organization for many years as a player, scout and Minor League instructor.
"To those that played with him, Joe was known as a fun and enthusiastic individual that brought energy to the ball club. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Joe's family and many friends throughout the game and beyond."

China's overseas sales rose 14.1% in December from a year earlier, almost triple the 5% gain predicted, and ECB Head Mario Draghi was surprisingly positive about the future of the Eurozone's economic recovery and stability prospects. Thus, the Euro currency shot up today to the tune of around 200 ticks, now trading up 1.52% at 1.3260.
Continuing the recent trend of strength, the MAR13 E-mini S&P 500 futures are positive again, this time up 5.5 points, or +.38% this morning. We continue to note our view that the U.S. equities have much more room to run on the upside.
Precious metals also responded very favorably to Draghi's comments this morning. Gold futures are up around $21 today while silver futures are up more than 2%. We think that gold will run into some resistance at the $1,690 level. Platinum futures have also experienced a very significant rally over the past few weeks. The market could potentially test its key resistance overhead at the $1,730-$1,740 level.
Besides precious metals, natural gas is one of the stronger commodities on the board this morning, reversing course from its recent sell off. Natural gas has rebounded today, trading up around 2.15% at $3.18. Crude Oil is up almost $1r today, with the FEB13 contract trading at $93.96. We see potential key congestion at the $95 level, and then major resistance at the $100 level.
The biggest movers overall today seem to be in the currency futures markets. The Euro currency is leading the way up today, trading up 1.52%. We see potential resistance at 1.33. The Euro has now broken upwards through our initial resistance level at 1.3150 as Draghi's comments can really move the markets in a big way. We focus more on the Aussie Dollar today. The MAR13 Aussie Dollar has now exploded through the previous high of around 1.0525. This market is up 86 ticks today. A growing Chinese economy, as indicated by recent data, may also mean a growing Australian economy and thus a potentially higher Aussie Dollar. Technically, our upside target for this market is 1.0625.

Living in or visiting Rotterdam? Information and useful links for students, locals and tourists.
From its beginnings as a fishing village in the 13th century, Rotterdam has evolved into the second largest
Diamoire Jewels Emerald Cut Emerald Pendant with Premium Diamonds in 10kt Yellow Gold Gds3prxd
and home to one of the largest ports in the world.
Much of Rotterdam's centre was destroyed during World War II. However, the city was reborn as a hotspot for modern architecture, with a towering skyline that is always changing and several of the country's most innovative buildings.
A popular saying among Rotterdammers goes "Money is earned in Rotterdam, divided in The Hague and spent in Amsterdam ," reflecting Rotterdam's traditional view of itself as a no-nonsense workers' city.
Although Amsterdam is generally viewed as the cultural capital of the Netherlands, besides modern architecture Rotterdam also boasts one of the Netherlands' finest museums , the Boijmans van Beuningen, as well as a bustling contemporary art scene.
The city is also host to several major events and festivals , including the Zomercarnaval (Summercarnaval), which is the second largest Caribbean carnival in Europe, as well as the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Motel Mozaique, and the North Sea Jazz Festival.
International Students Rotterdam (ISR) is a student-run organisation dedicated to helping international students acclimate to life in Rotterdam. ISR aims to do this through social events, academic events, and a comprehensive student guide about various aspects of living in Rotterdam.

Ramsey finished second in the voting for the NFL Defensive Rookie of Year award after breaking up 14 passes and intercepting two more in his first year. He is a No. 1 cornerback and may still have the most upside of any player on the roster.
Colvin is a dependable cornerback in the slot and an underrated zone corner on the outside. He will return and hope to earn a big free agent deal as he enters a contract year.

ESSEX Police say rumours of a criminal gang operating at Lakeside are untrue.
Officers are currently investigating an isolated incident in which a woman has approached a child, who was with her family, and is reported to have stroked the girl's head and pinched her cheek on Saturday, February 23 shortly after 1.15pm.
It is possible the woman was just being over-familiar but officers are treating the incident as an alleged common assault and would like to speak to the woman.
An Efit image is being issued to help trace the woman concerned.
She is described as being of Asian appearance, with long black hair, and aged between 20 and 40.
She was wearing a beige coat and red scarf.
Anyone with information can call Essex Police on 101.
Rumours circulated on Twitter and Facebook about a gang but Essex Police says it has no information about any on-going criminal gang activity at Lakeside.
Police are continuing to work closely with security staff at Lakeside to ensure a safe environment for visitors.

ATLANTA (AP) — A suburban Atlanta county has spawned the latest skirmish between tea party conservative and mainstream business interests.
Republicans on the Cobb County commission have business backing for their commitment of several hundred million dollars to help build a new baseball stadium for the Atlanta Braves. But tea party activists and other citizens' groups maintain that the deal is crony capitalism that gives public money to a private business.
Debbie Dooley of the Atlanta Tea Party says several citizens' groups are exploring possible challenges to the plan to redirect property taxes to cover stadium debt. They're also looking at recall petitions aimed at Cobb commissioners.
Commission Chairman Tim Lee maintains that the investment will pay for itself by spurring economic activity in and around the stadium slated to open in 2017.

TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. reported net income of $199 million on revenue of $4.4 billion the first quarter of 2014.The total represents increases over the same period in 2013, when TRW reported income of $162 million on $4.2 billion in revenue. The rise in sales at the Livonia-based auto parts supplier was driven in part by increased global demand, including a 16 percent sales increase from China, according to a news release. Due to the growth in sales, TRW has increased its revenue outlook for 2014 to between $17.4 billion and $17.7 billion from $17.3 billion and $17.6 billion reported in its last financial report. In February, TRW elected former senior vice president and CFO of 3M Co. David Meline to its board of directors. His appointment increased the company's board to 11 members.

The situation for automakers in Europe will continue to be extremely tough and more car plants will have to be shut down, Arndt Ellinghorst, head of automotive research at Credit Suisse, told CNBC on Tuesday.
Due to fierce competition in Europe's car market, currently roughly 60 percent of cars sold in Europe are sold at a loss, according to Ellinghorst. "There are too many brands in Europe that are competing at irrational prices," he said.
The auto expert said that cutting capacity is just one part of the answer to make up for the problems of the European car industry, and called on the European Union to put into place a European Auto Tsar to coordinate an industry-wide restructuring.
Ellinghurst recommended European politicians to look at how the American auto industry managed to recover after General Motors and Chryslerfiled for bankruptcy three years ago and the Obama administration decided to step in. The U.S. government funded a painful restructuring and reorganization of the auto giants with loans from U.S. and Canadian taxpayers.
The restructuring plans took out 25 percent of the American auto industry's capacity, but allowed the sector to be profitable again at a lower level, Ellinghurst said.
French carmaker Peugeot on Thursday announced that it had to shut its factory and cut 8,000 jobs across its French sites, which sent a shock wave through the country and underscored the impact of the European sovereign debt crisis on the industry and exposed the country's declining competitiveness.
On July 25 France's government will unveil a plan which will support the country's automotive industry and will include measures to boost car sales.

At last we have the mighty Chewbacca!
This is an awesome depiction of Chewie. The likeness of the face is very accurate, and the paint deco is subtle on the sculpted fur. I think the pose is well-suited to conveying Chewie's character. Highly recommended for any Wookiee fan.
