Norfolk World War Two hero involved in the Arctic Convoys receives medal
PUBLISHED: 16:08 04 September 2014 | UPDATED: 16:08 04 September 2014
A veteran who served in the Navy during Second World War has received the Ushakov medal after his involvement in the Arctic Convoys which helped transport ammunition to Russia.
90-year-old Kenneth Dearn, who lives in Hellesdon, was awarded his medal by the Russian Ambassador Alexander Yakovenko at the Russian Embassy in London last month.
Mr Dearn's ceremony was one in a series in which all British service personnel involved in the Arctic Convoys, which saw four million tons of crucial supplies and ammunition transported to Russia between 1941 and 1945, awarded the medal after the ban on British veterans receiving foreign medals was lifted by the Foreign and Commonwealth office.
Conscripted by the Royal Navy when he was 18, Mr Dearn was an engine stoker on the destroyer HMS Swift which helped protect the merchant ships carrying the cargo from German air, naval, U-Boats and land attacks, in what many described as "suicide missions" before the ship was involved in the Normandy Landings.
"It's not so much about the medal as about the principle of it, of finally being allowed to have it," said Mr Dearn, who was born in Great Yarmouth.
The Arctic route took the ships from the top of Scotland, past Iceland, over the top of German occupied Norway and into Russia's northern ports of Archangel and Murmansk and Mr Dearn describes the cold conditions the servicemen had to face all year round.
"Everything was covered in ice, and it was thick ice. It was bitter all year round, if you went overboard, you only had three to four minutes to survive.
"We were under threat from German U-Boats, which you couldn't detect, from the air and the route took us close to occupied Norway.
"You just had to put it all out of your mind, if you thought about what might have happened to you, you wouldn't do it."
HMS Swift was involved in the Normandy Landings which took place on June 6 1944, with the ship patrolling the English Channel and bombarding German forces to help the allied troops onto shore.
After D-Day, the destroyer was sent on patrols around the Normandy coast to keep an eye on Germany naval movements before the ship sunk on June 24 1944.
"18 days after D-Day we were doing night patrols and as we were anchoring the ship hit a mine and it blew in half. I jumped off and was in the water for about 30 minutes before a landing barge picked several of us up. 53 men died," said Mr Dearn, who has two daughters who was born in Great Yarmouth.
"I had just changed shift so had come up onto the deck, the mine exploded near the boiler room, I had someone watching me that day."
Mr Dearn served until the end of the war, marrying his wife Dorothy, who passed away last year, in 1948. The couple have two daughters and Mr Dearn worked for DCL Yeast before moving to Australia and working in the Insurance business for 13 years.

Dictionary.com offers five definitions, but this is supposedly what is meant by the word "secular".
secular adjective
of or pertaining to worldly things or to things that are not regarded as religious, spiritual, or sacred; temporal: secular interests.
Despite the definition, "becoming secular" is in fact a religious choice. Don't think so? Then explain these lines from different news articles.
- "America is becoming more secular; Europe is becoming more religious." — Crises of Faith (www.theatlantic.com)
- "Gallup found that, even though 15 percent claim no religious affiliation, just 9 percent of those respondents don't believe in God. Despite cries from the New Atheists who say America is becoming more secular, the reverse is true." — Public Opinion Of Jesus On Easter 2014 Reveals A Still-Majority Christian Nation (www.peoplespunditdaily.com)
- "When it comes to measures like church attendance and belief in God, Cox doesn't think we're going to turn into Western Europe any time soon. But these findings do show that we are becoming a more secular nation than previously assumed." — Americans lie about how much they go to church, even if they don't belong to one (www.washingtonpost.com)
Do Americans lie about how much they go to church, even if they don't belong to one? Do people lie when they ask us to take the results of polls too seriously? Do we have satisfactory answers for all our questions?
What should matter to each of us is our own personal choices and the example we set for others, particularly our children. Becoming secular, ignoring God, is a choice. Becoming secular is a choice that says the belief in God simply does not matter, that the subject of God is unimportant. That's a fool's choice. If eternity awaits us — eternal life or damnation — then lazily choosing damnation is a fool's choice.
Consider this passage.
Matthew 25:31-46 English Standard Version (ESV)
The Final Judgment
31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?' 40 And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' 44 Then they also will answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?' 45 Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.' 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
Observe why the Son of Man, the King, condemns the goats. Was it because of anything they did wrong? No. He condemns them because they did not care about His brothers and sisters. He condemns them for a sin of omission. He condemns them for indifference, their indifference to the suffering of others.
Indifference to God: is that what it means to become secular? Isn't the point of secularism indifference to the existence of God? Doesn't that choice have profound religious significance? If God does not matter us, if we cannot see evidence of His handiwork in Creation, feel Him at work in our hearts, hear His voice in the Holy Bible, then what could possibly arouse us to love and care for one His brothers and sisters? If God does not matter to us, if through indifference we allow ourselves to become secular, doesn't that make us one of the goats?

I don't have enough upstream at the moment. I will post my rant, small as it is, when I have my full bandwidth.
Had to get a new internet service provider.
Edit: Trying again now that I see something working.
I feel I should introduce my problems of the past week. In addition to my currently mildly deranged state as a result of it.
Starting at about 12:30 on the 13th my time my prior internet service provider decided to have someone out here and connect service for television to one of my neighbors and the service man went and seeing that there was no TV service to my apartment disconnected my cable for the 4th time in the last 9 months.
Then I called the company because of my internet access being disconnected and I was told I was no longer authorized to make inquiries or decisions about the account.
I"M THE ONLY USER! The ONLY consumer of their product at this address. And they were acting like I was a hacker trying to manipulate them into giving extra information about another persons damn account.
So because of their incompetence I have not had internet access until a few short hours ago today with my new service provider. And that service won't really be on at full speed until some time later tonight.
During the interim I watched all the Carmen Sandiego Cartoon episodes that I managed to DL (most of last 3 seasons and almost half the first season.) along with capturing Carmen Sandiego on my Apple IIe emulator and getting within 5 cases (in 24 hours) of the highest rank in the Multimedia PC edition of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? It arrived in the mail the day before yesterday.
I even made an ID based on the ones seen in the Where on Earth cartoon ones. I was that bored.
I guess I'll have to show it later. I've tried uploading it for the past hour and it failed. Then I tried to just preview this and that also failed. So I'm submitting this as is and probably going back to mostly offline until I have my whole internet access after 8:00 (Stated but not guaranteed activation time) tomorrow morning at latest for my full bandwidth to be enabled.

Having gone through the 'game'....I will offer these ten bits of advice:
1. My humble guess is that a quarter of all guys over the age of fifty....have a fair amount of hearing loss, due to weapons firing, heavy equipment or work over the years. Out of every ten guys with problems.....I'd take another humble guess of only one woman with similar hearing loss. Why? Unknown. I'm still waiting for some university to do research.
2. The real cost of a hearing test? Some health insurance policies will cover it.....some work it into the deductible. A typical low-end price is $75, and a typical high-end cost is $225. The test itself takes roughly 40-to-50 minutes. For your general state of mind.....pay the cost and have it done at least once by age fifty.
3. Hearing loss goes across a spectrum. You could have significant loss on only ONE single part of the spectrum. It could go across each spectrum. The only way to tell....is the test.
4. The person conducting the test and trying to sell you the hearing aid deal.....is the same person. Just be aware of that.
5. When the test is complete.....the tester will give you a sheet identifying where your hearing is good or bad. Ask for a copy of this (demand if necessary).
6. Once the tester says you got issues.....the salesmanship starts. The guy or gal will say that they DON'T sell cheap hearing aids and the lowest they sell is $2,750 (the usual low-end). They will fit you with this one and run the bird-chirp CD, and you will be amazed at the quality of the sound.....being better than your damaged sound picks up. Then they will pull out the $6,500 hearing aid and it'll be twice as good or three-times as good as the cheaper $2,750. What the gal is not telling you.....is that the cheaper one has a 'button' which you could max the sound-pick-up double or triple what you had before.
7. The $6,500 hearing aid will always be on sale this month, with $450 off (typically). Act amazed.
8. Are there $1,499 or $1,999 hearing aids that work as well and sold nationally? Yes, at COSTCO. Brand X type devices, and they work the same way (four-star quality).
9. Why the warranty matters? Well.....guys with their first hearing aid screw up and allow water or rain to get it wet and screw it up. You learn after that.....to remove the hearing aids at times of physical action (hauling hay, driving the tractor, cutting grass).
10. There is a difference between the in-the-ear hearing aid and the hanging-off-the-ear aid. If you don't want folks knowing about your issue....the in-the-ear deal works OK. Think about this option before buying it.
Sadly, the hearing aid folks are counting on you spending $3,000 to $6,000 and help pay for their salary structure. You can get a decent deal for less. The battery deal? Well.....yeah.....if you try hard....a typical battery will last you four days. Rechargeable batteries exist.....check into them.

Someone told me that our blog is easy to follow because I post a new message every three years. What an exaggeration! Well Bubs, challenge accepted. Game on.
Since I last posted we haven't been idle although the 2014 sailing season was a mixed bag. On the one hand it was sad because we never put Halcyon in the water. On the other hand it was exciting because we began making plans for Next Boat. On the other other hand, John and I met some very interesting people and had a few fun adventures.
Beginning in March of this year John worked out of town so often and anticipated having to work out of town in the foreseeable future so we decided to delay our normal April-ish splash date. April came and went. June came and went. All the while John spent more time out of town than he spent at home. In July he spent a few weeks in Italy. When August rolled around with more out of town jobs scheduled we decided to bag the season. We usually pull the boat out of the water at the end of October anyway so we just couldn't justify the cost of putting it in the water just to turn around and pay to have it hauled in three months for the few times we would actually sail. So instead of gathering barnacles in the water, she sat in the yard.
John's schedule this year did cause me to seriously consider single handing. Until now I never really thought about taking the boat out by myself beyond being prepared to handle it if there was an emergency. But darned if I want to have another season like this one completely reliant upon other sailors taking pity on me! Although I greatly appreciated the times I did get to sail on other people's boats, it just wasn't the same as being on Halcyon.
So that brings me to Next Boat. Our friends have been hearing about Next Boat for over a year now but posting about it here makes it seem more solid. Like a commitment.
We love Halcyon. It's the perfect boat for the sailing we do right now and the perfect boat for where we sail right now. We don't regret our choice. I am a firm believer in buying the boat you will use now, not ten years from now. However (and I'm going to blame John for allowing my dream to hatch and begin to grow into a goal), we started to seriously think about the world beyond the Chesapeake Bay. A world where Halcyon would not be the best choice of boats.
The seed rattled around my head while on Melissa's boat, settled down a bit after experiencing the strong cruising community in St. Augustine, but became firmly planted when last fall we attended the Seven Seas Cruising Association Annapolis Gam. Before then I sort of felt like I was being indulged while waiting for the notion to blow over. Beth Leonard and her husband Evans Starzinger are cruisers. Their custom-built expedition boat Hawk (currently for sale) has taken them to some extremely remote locations. Beth Leonard provided a great presentation and talked about their boat and the many places they sailed. She spoke about building Hawk to suit their high latitude cruising needs. At one point when yet another slide flashed showing a South American anchorage in which Hawk was the sole boat, I heard John mutter "I'd like to do that." Then I won a signed copy of her book in the raffle. It was a sign.
For the most part I make our plans and John just wants to know the date, time, and what he should wear. Rarely does he initiate an outing. I believe the last time was about six years ago when he wanted to go to a national park in Virginia. When he casually says that he would like us to do something that's the same as another person putting it on a billboard and declaring their plans to the cars that pass by.
I jumped on those mumbled words and was off to the races doing more research. I made a list of places to which we could sail and I read books and blogs of cruisers who were sailing to those places. I read history books with more on the piles. I asked questions. I made more lists: Boat lists, training lists, equipment lists, lists of questions still to be answered, lists of lists. I added to my project plan.
For the most part I researched Next Boat alone. We first considered a production boat. Since we're familiar with Catalina, the company, the great owner support, I thought we'd buy a larger Catalina and refit it for our needs. Then my brain came on line. Why not take the money we would spend to refit a boat that is not designed to go where we might want to go and instead buy a boat designed for our needs? Simple right? Trust me to find our "perfect" boat…and there are only two for sale on the U.S. east coast that I can locate. And I've looked. AND, since I found those two, one sold about a month later.
I kept this boat under wraps from John for a long time before I finally decided he needed to know. Especially since it will cost considerably more than Halcyon. I am sure this will be our last boat. I spent a month preparing a list of pros and cons. I listed the things that frustrate him about Halcyon and how those things are addressed on Next Boat in a way he'll love. I studied line drawings and wrote down how the systems are well laid out and well planned. Then I came up with the genius idea of turning the information into a slide presentation. One day while he was already sitting preparing to watch the baseball game I connected my iPad to the TV before I lost my nerve. I made ready a YouTube video presented by Yachting World. Thinking that I should get the cost of the boat over with immediately, that was my first slide. After showing the first slide, butterflies in my stomach, I told him that the rest of the presentation was in support of my decision and his response:
"Why don't we just buy a new one?"
…absolutely floored me. I knew how much a new, semi-custom factory built boat would cost. Even I wasn't prepared for that expense. After working myself up over this for the past month, I made him sit there and look at my presentation.
Our journey officially began when John and I both had a chance to crawl around one of the boats for sale that happened to be about three hours away. I enlisted a sailing friend while John was in Italy and we went to see it together. Ken and his wife Kathy have since become friends and Ken is following in our wake as potential crew. The two of us opened every storage compartment, looked at the engine and all that was connected to it, figured out how to connect the emergency tiller (which is an odd one), poked and prodded. The quality of the woodwork was extraordinary. It was solid wood. After we finished inside and on deck we climbed down and I stood staring at the blue bottom paint like a besotted fool. I went home and made notes to report back to John, who, when he finally got on the boat fell in love, too. OK. Maybe not love, yet, but he agreed with my assessment. I'm sure love will happen very, very soon.
We're still discussing that particular boat while weighing our options in Europe. Just in case, we are preparing for the possibility that we end up buying and sailing Next Boat home from any number of European countries where used ones are for sale. The one in Turkey falls off the bottom of the list periodically depending on how Turkey is acting on any particular day. "It will be an adventure" John says. Because each one is semi-custom from the factory no two are exactly alike. Not major differences, but enough to make us carefully consider those differences. We still haven't decided on the length. In case something happens to one of us, the other must be comfortable sailing it alone. That's not negotiable. Too large and not only does the initial cost go up but so does the maintenance and storage costs.
In the meantime we still have Halcyon to sail, to learn on, to push our envelopes in protected waters, and most importantly to make more memories.


text: The aim of this study is to examine the discourse particles you know and I mean from a gender perspective, but also to investigate if popular fiction and fictitious speech represent prior research on this subject. Prior research (Lakoff, 1975) has claimed that women tend touse discourse particles more frequently in order to soften utterances, and therefore expressing linguistic tentativeness. Janet Holmes (1995), on the other hand, has found that women and men tend to use DPs differently, but not that women are insecure communicators. In order to confirm or refute these researhers' claims, I have chosen to study the speech of two fictitious characters, Lucas Scott and Haley James, from the TV- Series One Tree Hill. The material consists of 17 transcribed conversations between the two main characters, and the method used was to compare and contrast my findings to previous research. The study is mainly qualitative, as I wanted to study how the characters use the chosen DPs. However, I will also discuss how frequently they use them. The result showed that the characters tended to use them in different manners. It was also evident that Haley uses the DPs more than Lucas, as she uses you know ten times and I mean seven times, whereas Lucas uses the first one seven times and I mean only once. Thus, the conclusions of the study are that the characters differ in their use of the DPs, but also that popular fiction, i.e. One Tree Hill, agrees with previous research on gender and discourse particles.

High up, in Brazil's tropical cloud forests, scientists have made a remarkable discovery.
A new species of toad, no bigger than a bumblebee.
Hunting High and Low
Marcio Pie, an evolutionary biologist at Brazil's University of Paraná, made the discovery this month on his latest trek into the wilderness.
Brazil's cloud forests – remote, tree-lined peaks on the country's Atlantic coast – are fertile ground for toads, and the intrepid Dr. Pie has braved these heights before. Several years ago, he led another expedition deep into the mountains, uncovering seven more of these elusive creatures.
And Pie isn't done yet; as he explains: "there are still many species to be discovered."
So how have these plucky micro toads managed to flourish in some of the harshest places on Earth?
The trick, it seems, is being small.
Miniature Marvel
Across millennia, this amphibious innovator has shrunk down to the size of a walnut, an evolutionary masterstroke, allowing these warty wunderkinds to hop out of their eggs fully-formed. A neat trick when you consider that only about one per cent of tadpoles ever make it to adulthood.
And unlike their larger cousins, these tiny tetrapods aren't pond-dwellers either, absorbing all the water they need through special skin on their bellies – a handy survival skill when you're a thousand feet above sea level.
Islands in the Sky
What's even more remarkable is that while Dr. Pie found examples of these miniature toads scattered throughout the region, they almost certainly evolved in isolation, cut off from one another (and the rest of the world) on their lonely mountaintops.
Is the Toad About to Croak its Last?
Pie's discovery comes at a critical time for our horny friends.
Thanks to shrinking habitats and disruption to migration routes, global numbers have been in freefall for years. Add to that a recent outbreak of a particularly virulent strain of killer fungus, and the outlook is bleak.
Shoots of Recovery
But there is hope. After a six year battle, scientists at Spain's Natural History Museum in Madrid may have finally found the key to eradicating the deadly fungus. While closer to home, Britain's rarest toad, the Natterjack, is enjoying somewhat of a baby boom.
Sites in Scotland and Bedfordshire have seen populations more than triple in just a couple of years, and as far as researchers can tell, it's all down to habitat.
At the Mersehead reserve near Dumfries, a team of biologists created five new ponds in various locations across the countryside, and the Natterjacks flourished.
Toad in the Home
And you can do the same (on a slightly smaller scale) in your own backyard.
A few upturned flowerpots provide adequate shelter from the sun, and some old saucers filled with water will give the toads somewhere to hydrate.
It's also a great way to keep the pests off your petunias. A solitary toad will gorge on up to ten thousand bugs in a single summer.
Toads Under Threat
While things seem to be improving at home, in the developing world it's a different story.
And Pie's Brazilian toads are not immune.
Human encroachment, logging and climate change all mean that these unique creatures are being slowly driven from their homes.
And so accustomed are these little mountain-dwellers to their lofty climes, they may be unable to exist anywhere else.
As arch toad-finder Pie explains: "Conservation efforts are more important than ever to ensure the long-term preservation of these species."
Because, sadly, once the cloud forests disappear, so too will the toads.

If your home is older, the garage door may be just a standard type. This could also be true even if your home was built in the last few years. Most builders choose a simple door that provides the basics. However, there are a variety today that can truly enhance the look of your home, particularly if your garage is at the front of the home.
What Type Do You Prefer?
Garage door types include a slide to the side, roll up, swing upwards, or swing out. You will want to consider the style of your home and a few other things. Most people choose roll up garage doors. This can be a good choice, but if your home is a rustic style, you may want to think about wooden doors that slide to the side. This can add a very distinctive look to your home. Doors that swing out or slide are good if you want to keep the overhead room in your garage clear.
Roll up or swing up doors can be used if you are not concerned with keeping the overhead space clear. These types are also available in styles that look like swing out doors. They have handles and faux hinges to imitate the look of doors that swing out to open. Some feature windows at the top. Many manufacturers offer shatterproof glass. This can be an important safety feature. One company that can provide a genie garage door is Genie Sales and Service.
Garage Door Materials
Whether you want a wooden garage door or a metal one, there are many available that provide a great look for your home. Wooden doors are popular because they offer a look that is very attractive, particularly for cottages, farm houses, rustic, Victorian, and more. They are sturdy and hold up well to the elements as well as a rough game of basketball if your kids have their hoop nearby.
Metal doors can include aluminum or steel. They are a good choice if you are looking for affordability. No matter what type you choose, make sure to include safety features that will help secure your home against intruders. Garages are one of the most often accessed entrances for people looking for a way into your home.

First FlyerPublished: 2 Sep 2017

The ISPM 15 exemption for wood packaging material, including wood pallets, moving in either direction between United States and Canada is now slated to end completely in 2012.
Wood packaging material (WPM) moving in international trade (wooden pallets, crates, dunnage, etc. used in the transportation of goods) is regulated by many countries – to prevent the spread of pests – in accordance with the specifications described in the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) No. 15 (2009) Regulation of wood packaging material in international trade.
In 2005, Canada and the United States implemented import requirements for wood packaging material consistent with ISPM No. 15, but agreed to forego implementation of these requirements on Canadian or United States origin wood packaging material moving between Canada and United States. Since then, both countries have completed a review of the pest-risk associated with wood packaging material and have concluded that several pest risks and logistical issues can be addressed by requiring wood packaging moving between Canada and the United States be compliant with ISPM No. 15 (2009). These include improved protection from the movement of pests present in one country; improved regulatory control of non-compliant wood packaging material which originated in a third country and improved ongoing usage of wood packaging material regardless of end destination.
Recognizing that the regulation of wood packaging material moving between Canada and the United States brings with it added costs and time to utilize existing wood packaging material inventories, and to establish new wood packaging material production practices, Canadian and United States regulators have agreed to establish a harmonized implementation process to phase in the ISPM No. 15 requirements.
On December 2, 2010, the United States published a proposed rule notifying their intention to regulate the import of wood packaging material from Canada in the same manner as wood packaging material entering from other countries.
The CFIA is also revising Canada's regulatory policies for wood packaging material entering or leaving Canada:
- D-98-08: Entry Requirements for Wood Packaging Materials Produced in All Areas Other Than the Continental United States will be revised to include wood packaging material from all United States.
- D-01-05: Canadian wood packaging certification program (CWPCP) for export will be revised to include exports of wood packaging material to the United States.
Although the full implementation timelines have not been finalized, it is expected that the Canadian policies and the United States final rule will be published in the spring of 2011, at which time both countries will commence a period of "informed compliance", during which wood packaging material found non-compliant will be permitted to proceed to destination provided no pests are present. However, the carrier will be notified that shipments will be required to comply with ISPM No. 15 once full implementation occurs. If pests are detected, the countries will enforce actions such as requiring treatment of the shipment, or refusing the shipment to enter the country.
Canada and the United States are aiming for full implementation of ISPM No. 15 for wood packaging material as early as the summer of 2012. At that time, shipments with wood packaging material found to be non-compliant will not be permitted to enter the country of destination. Should pests be detected, the importer may also be required to treat the shipment to prevent escape of pests, prior to having it returned to the country of origin. The importer, or person in care and control of the regulated articles, is responsible for all costs incurred.
Discussions between the CFIA, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and border authorities in both countries, are currently underway, to establish fair harmonized approaches to wood packaging material inspection and enforcement. The CFIA will continue to provide notices regarding implementation through national industry associations, and publication on the CFIA website.
Should you have comments or questions regarding the implementation of ISPM No. 15 for goods moving between Canada and the United States, or wish to obtain information on becoming a certified producer of wood packaging for export, you may contact your local Area Forestry Specialist (as listed below) or send a question or comment through the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) website.

A respected church leader in Cuba was unexpectedly arrested on Monday and taken to a town in Central Cuba where he is expected to stand trial. CSW believes the charges of "offensive behaviour" and "threats" against Reverend Roberto Rodriguez to be false. Those close to Reverend Rodriguez, who is in his late 60s and in poor health, say he became a government target after the organization he led publicly withdrew from a government sanctioned religious umbrella group in the second half of 2008, and that the criminal charges against him are an attempt to discredit and silence him. His arrest was so sudden that Reverend Rodriguez was unable to take important medication with him. It is feared that without it, his health will continue to deteriorate.
According to his family, state security officials arrived at the home without warning on 30 August and forced Reverend Rodriguez to go with them. The family understands that he will be taken to the town of Placetas where he will be put on trial sometime over the next few days. Prosecutors are asking that he be given a one-year prison sentence.
Charges were first brought against Reverend Rodriguez in late 2008 and he was given three trial dates over the course of 2009 but no trial ever took place. He and his family were forced to move after being subjected to constant verbal and physical abuse from their neighbors, apparently acting with the support of the government. He has spent the last 21 months under house arrest.
CSW is calling on the Cuban authorities to release Reverend Rodriguez immediately and drop all charges against him.
CSW's National Director Stuart Windsor said, "The treatment of Reverend Rodriguez and his family over the past 21 months has been disgraceful. The European Union will be looking at the human rights situation and reviewing its Common Position on Cuba this month. While some heralded the release of some Cuban prisoners of conscience this summer as an improvement in the human rights situation, the arrest of Reverend Rodriguez this week demonstrates that the Cuban government is not interested in real human rights reform. We call on the EU to make urgent representations on behalf of Reverend Rodriguez to the Cuban government."
For further information or to arrange interviews please contact Kiri Kankhwende, Press Officer at Christian Solidarity Worldwide on +44 (0)20 8329 0045 , +44 (0)20 8329 0045 , +44 (0) 78 2332 9663 , +44 (0) 78 2332 9663 , email: firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.csw.org.uk.
CSW is a human rights organization which specializes in religious freedom, works on behalf of those persecuted for their Christian beliefs and promotes religious liberty for all.
Notes to Editors:
1. Reverend Rodriguez is a pastor in the Los Pinos Nuevos denomination and was the national president of CIMPEC, the Interdenominational Fellowship of Evangelical Pastors and Ministers. CIMPEC formally withdrew from the Cuban Council of Churches, citing constant government interference in their internal affairs.
2. The behaviour of Reverend Rodriguez's neighbors is consistent with a government strategy of encouraging "acts of repudiation" - where civilians are encouraged to harass and sometimes attack Cubans who have fallen foul of the authorities, usually human rights or democracy activists. The harassment of the Rodriguez family culminated in a physical attack against Reverend Rodriguez's daughter-in-law, who suffered a miscarriage and was hospitalized.

Fall Down 10 Times, Get Up 11
Like many of us, I had been waiting for this day for eternity. I couldn't avoid having many feelings at the same time. I felt happy because finally my dream of attending an MBA Program was a reality.
I was very proud of myself because being here is the result of a lot of hard work and perseverance. I felt nervous because this phase of my career is supposed to be a game changer! I felt sad because I am having one of the most important experiences in my life so far away from my wife and my 8 month old son.
I have always imagined the classroom, the classmates, and lectures and in general all things related to attending an MBA Program. But what greeted me on the first day of my MBA program was plain CHAOS!
The international student orientation was expected to be a low key introductory affair. I was expecting no more than some keynote speeches and some handshakes. But the first thing I had to do was to present my Elevator Pitch in front of amazingly talented people, trying to make sense of my career and accomplishments. That was one heck of a challenge (which I am convinced I did not tackle well!).
The most horrifying part of it was how I was talking about my "Outstanding" communication skills in a manner that would have made my English teacher depressed! I just did not understand why there was a knot in my throat that was not allowing me to communicate freely. I thought sadly, "I am not really as good as I thought I was."
The next session was from Rikin Vasani, the dynamic big buck consultant turned actor who worked for the likes of McKinsey, Bain and BCG, and now a freelance career counselor. It was his session that made me realize that maybe I am not made for an International MBA program. He made us realize that it's not how much you have accomplished that matters, but how much you can articulate the same. All that matters is how effectively you can sell yourself. My paltry attempt at selling myself in front of my smart class fell on its face and even I would not have hired myself!
The next session was the "Two Hour Job Search" with Steve Dalton, a pioneer in the job searching field. He made us realize that how little we know about our future job prospects in the US. He drove home the point that we are not here to get a job but to build a career and that needs a lot of introspection and focus, both of which I lacked at that point.
By the time the orientation on the first day ended, I have decided that if the college refunds my tuition, I will happily head back to India. I literally cried myself to sleep. It was just insanity and chaos that were the order of the day. And I still had 6 full days of trolling in front of me.
That is when I understood what surviving in the B school really is about. This environment tests the mettle of every single person and one who is resilient will come out on top and others will succumb to the pressure. The constant challenges and our ability to tackle them is what defines our path at an MBA program. The moment you start to doubt your abilities, you are not only losing your fight but you are killing the chance to become a better version of yourself.
This is where your second year MBA student group comes in handy. It is the hours of discussions with our seniors that reassured me that I can handle such situations. This is one aspect of the MBA program that is generally underrated. The true nature of its importance can only be experienced; it cannot be explained. The way our seniors walked us through the pitfalls and misconceptions helped us a lot in prioritizing our goals and channelizing our energies towards those goals.
Another critical aspect that helped me come to terms with the challenges is the amazing bond that we as a class share. Our Class is such a beautiful blend of diverse cultures and experiences that every day you feel you are going up the learning curve. The learning that happens outside the class is amazing and is such a fresh change that everyone would appreciate. It feels good to know that there is no competition but only collaboration and every single day of your time at GSM will make you a better person. This to me is the most practical form of learning I can ever imagine. I can not help but think how an MBA should be a four year program rather than a two year one. (Of course without the increased tuition! )

From the beginning of our salvation until now, we have heard the Lord and even seen him evident in our lives. What is it that you have seen? How many answered prayers have there been? How many times has the Lord spoken to you through the scriptures. On how many occasions has he guided you in your decisions? Honestly speaking, we probably cannot number these occasions. What I believe to be the best interactions with the Lord are when he encourages us. He picks us up when we fall. He mends our hearts when they become broken and encourages us as we live in this fallen world. All of these instances are part of our fellowship with him and the fellowship continues as we lift our hearts to him and offer praise, thanksgiving and adoration.
As the apostles, we have a responsibility with this fellowship and that is to share it with others so that they too may fellowship with God. We owe this responsibility to our brothers and sisters in Christ. By doing so, we lead them from where they are in their fellowship and relationship with God to where we are. It is the mature believer teaching the younger.
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. (1 John 1:3)
With these thoughts, we must ask ourselves a few questions. Have I been having fellowship with the Lord? We know that we have in the past, but in recent days has there been fellowship? If you were to share a fellowship experience with someone, how far back would you need to reach?
Another question would be: have I shared my fellowship experiences with others? Our lives are like plants bearing fruit and seed. The fruit of the Spirit is what our lives should produce because of fellowship and the seed within the fruit comes from us sharing our fellowship experiences with others.
So, what should we do with this fellowship? Share it at work. Share it at home: even blog it on the media, but whatever you do, share it. By doing so, others may begin to experience the wonderful relationship with God that he so longs to have with them.

Court of Appeals Clarifies Law Regarding Apportionment for Third Party Defendants.
September 7, 2016
The Kentucky Court of Appeals recently published two cases dealing with apportionment involving third-party defendants that are of interest.
In the case of Memorial Sports Complex, LLC vs. McCormick, et al, the Court was required to determine whether the dismissal, but subsequent allowance of apportionment, of the third-party defendants was appropriate. Memorial was sued after a minor (Mowery) suffered personal injury running into one of its fences during a baseball game. Memorial filed a third-party complaint, seeking contribution, indemnity, and apportionment against McCormick, (Mowery's Coach), Mowery's father (Dale), and Geddes Fence Company (Geddes).
The trial court granted McCormick's and Dale's respective motions and dismissed Memorial's third-party claims against them with prejudice in identical judgments, stating "Due to the applicability of apportionment of fault, as required in [Kentucky Revised Statutes] KRS 411.182, there is no right to contribution" and "indemnity is not appropriate as the kind of fault alleged by Plaintiff Mowery against Memorial Sports Complex, LLC is that it created and/or maintained the hazard that was the alleged cause of Mr. Mowery's claimed injuries." The final judgments contained language that; "This dismissal will not prevent Third-Party Plaintiff [Memorial] from seeking an apportionment instruction relevant to the claims against it to the extent that any fault can be proved against the now
dismissed Third-Party Defendant[s][.]" Geddes moved for summary judgment which was granted by the trial court, dismissing Memorial's claims "with prejudice, as a matter of law, subject to apportionment in Plaintiff's [Mowery's] claim against Memorial." Memorial appealed both rulings.
Guess Who's Back, Back Again?
July 7, 2016
I decided to come back and post some again. I might not post every day or every week, but I have decided to post again to Kentucky Tort Journal. I realize I miss posting my opinions and analysis of important Kentucky law. More importantly, I miss letting people know my opinions on certain cases. So, for what it is worth, I'm going to post again. So, keep a lookout. You might find something interesting.
Kentucky Tort Journal Signs Off
April 22, 2009
After several years, several changes, and more than several posts it is with a heavy heart that I advise my readers that the Kentucky Tort Journal is signing off. I will no longer be posting or updating original posts or decisions.
Kentucky Tort Journal was my first attempt at blogging. Starting in 2004, my goal was to find a platform where I could express my thoughts about events, articles, cases and decisions that dealt with my area of practice. I also wanted to explore the new medium and had great hopes for its use among lawyers. Many of my contemporaries have also faded into the blogosphere, leaving behind remnants in time of their thoughts about whatever topic they chose to write. Perhaps that is the fate of the KTJ. It is somewhat interesting to know that while the journal is no more, my thoughts and opinions will linger like graffiti on an old wall in an old town. Passed rarely, if ever, but there nonetheless, its true impact forever lost to its time and those who lived it, one day to be replaced by something else, something new.
While I am officially signing off, I will keep publishing the blog, at least for the time being, as a kind of archive. There is simply too much information, too many hours, to much hard work and thought to simply turn out the lights. Perhaps one day, but for now I'll just leave the light on and shut the door.
I still have great hopes for blogs and the bloggers who blog them. Whle I am wrapping up this chapter, I am readily involved in opening another. I encourage each of you to view my new blog; Kentucky Accident Information at http://kyaccidentinfo.com. Look around and check back. While something quite different than the KTJ, I think it's truly the next frontier for blogs in the legal field.
I want to end by thanking each of you who supported me throughout the past four years. I am always amazed at the number of attorneys who read my stuff and the good things they had to say. I can't begin to say enough about the good friends I met through this blog, so I won't. I'll just say thank you to them too.
So, thank you all. God Bless. Good night and good luck.

Lazy Days of Summer
August 8, 2008
It seems like only yesterday that I took a weeks vacation. Of course, it wasn't, although you would think so given my lack of postings. Unfortunately, I am behind and summer seems to have zapped whatever motivation I have had to write about the law. Or, maybe, I am just really, really, busy. Running your own law practice is a heck of lot harder then being an employee of another. I have been given, when asked; "What do you do?", to saying; "I am a lawyer, I practice law in my free time." This is exactly how I feel. When I am not running my practice, I am practicing the law. That has left my little "hobby" far down on my list of things to do.
In either event, I hope to get back on track. Look for postings on the Court of Appeals Minutes and interesting tort and insurance cases. I'll start with this weeks minutes and work my way backwards. While some would argue that doesn't make sense, I found it's easier to get a grasp on what's happening and then when I have time, blog about what has happened. Besides, if my readers are anything like me, I imagine the lazy days of summer have an equally firm grasp on them too and reading my blog isn't necessarily on the top of their lists, either.
Mass Tort Litigation Blog Reports On The Exxon Case
July 2, 2008
The Mass Tort Litigation Blog has been reporting on the United States Supreme Court's decision in Exxon v.

I'd recommend you read Professor Lahav's wonderful musings in What's So Weird About the Exxon Decision and Professor Stier's background article SCOTUS Reduces Exxon Oil Spill Punitive Damages to Match Compensatory Damages for the ruling and its implication for future punitive damages recovery.

Less than 2 years in the past, I wrote a evaluation on the superb capabilities and portability of the Digilent Electronics Explorer Board (EE Board). The wonderful thing about some of these tasks is that even if you have little interest in the speculation behind them and just need a passion/something to do which you might have one thing to point out for, then many of those initiatives have very simple to follow guides which require no real prior information of electronics to provide the end consequence, simply an ability to purchase the correct parts as listed.

My very limited understanding of that is that firms can't sell the product patrons want to buy. One other challenge in accessing Web companies in the nation is the high value of using themw domain. Earlier than wireless hotspot technology was made readily available in coffee outlets, small workplaces, purchasing malls and houses, wireless internet technology was solely utilized by larger organizations similar to tutorial institutions and authorities businesses. Later, I figured it out on by noticing when the phone rings, I get kicked off the web. We have tried 2 wireless suppliers and the speeds are very poor with download speeds of lower than 100k/sec.
Nowadays, the wireless LAN elements (based on IEEE 802.11 standards) are used for setting up extra convenient network connections. Individuals who want seamless internet connectivity all through their household or unit. This means to offer coverage to a large area like a metropolis you have to guarantee that there is a AP within a most of 300 ft of the place you count on individuals shall be using it.

Surplus sideshow over, time for action
John Key and Bill English have delivered a jobless 'recovery' that has come and gone with unemployment expected to keep rising over the next two years Labour's Finance spokesperson Grant Robertson says.
"Several years after they declared the recession over, National have delivered the weakest economic recovery on record with unemployment never dropping below 5.6 per cent and wages remaining stagnant. Unemployment is now forecast to stay above 6 per cent until 2017. That means tens of thousands more Kiwis out of work.
"The number of additional jobs forecast in the budget for this financial year has been slashed from 42,000 to just 7,000. All the while wages will remain screwed down for most New Zealanders. The half year Budget update shows that wage growth will fail to match inflation for the next two years.
"All of this is the result of a Government without a plan other than to drift along and hope for the best. New Zealanders deserve better than that.
"After manufacturing a surplus through under-valuing EQC liabilities, Bill English now admits it was a one off. The excuse that because of inflation, there will be no surplus in the current year doesn't wash. It is declining growth in the economy and wages that are the problem. The truth is that real sustainable surpluses are generated by getting people into jobs, growing incomes for workers and profits for productive businesses, not accounting tricks.
"Now that the surplus sideshow is over, it's time for National to put people first in their management of the economy. No one can declare our economy a success when the Children's Commissioner tells us today that one third of children live in poverty. We must put poverty eradication as a core economic and social goal of the government.
" With this government all the big issues are put off for another day. It has pushed out the target for paying down debt by another year, and contributions to the Super Fund will now not recommence until 2022/23. This kind of irresponsible short termism will be the legacy of the National Government.
" It is time for the government to prioritise growing real jobs, exports and incomes rather than letting the economy drift into a malaise. New Zealand needs a government that puts the long-term needs of people and productive business investment first. That's what New Zealanders deserve and that's what they will get from the next Labour government" says Grant Robertson.

Soderbergh's 'Solaris' is all surface and cold as Kubrick
SOLARIS: Science-fiction. Starring George Clooney and Natascha McElhone. Directed by Steven Soderbergh. (PG-13. 95 minutes. At Bay Area theaters.)
Steven Soderbergh is an adventurous filmmaker, an iconoclast among big-name directors who has maintained his independent roots and reserves his right to make small, weird pictures any time he pleases. Anyone who loves movies appreciates what a fine thing that can be, but all good things come with a price. And the bill arrives today in the form of "Solaris," a ponderous and dreadful film set mainly in a futuristic space station.
Starring the affable -- but, here, terminally depressed -- George Clooney, the movie's cinematography and greenish color palette bares a family resemblance to better Soderbergh films, such as "Traffic." The compositions are impeccable. The director knows exactly where to place the camera to create the right mood. But the mood of "Solaris" is one of unrelieved gloom, and it soon begins to feel like a pose. Without a flicker of Soderbergh's usual wit, "Solaris" comes across as less than a spontaneous work of the heart and more like a grim-faced stab at artistic importance.
Clooney plays Kelvin, a widowed psychologist going about his mundane, joyless existence in a not-so distant future. (His clothing looks like today, but his TV screen is a lot flatter than anything currently on the market.) His normal glum routine is soon interrupted when a friend, living on a space station near the planet Solaris, sends him a transmission: He needs Kelvin to come right away. Something bad is happening. He can't say what.
No one can say what. In a compelling early scene, Kelvin arrives on the station to find suspicious-looking blood stains and only two surviving crew members. One of them is played by the spooky and amusing Jeremy Davies, who tells him, "I can tell you what's happening, but I don't know if that'll tell you what's happening." The other crew member (Viola Davis) is even less forthcoming: "Until it happens to you, there's really no point in discussing it."
Actually, their reticence is just a conceit of the storytelling, because a little advance warning would make perfect sense. People on the station are going to bed and waking up to find, in their room, someone they've lost, someone they most want to see in the world. For Kelvin, it's his late wife, Rheya, played by Natascha McElhone. Apparently, Solaris, the planet being studied, is in turn studying the crew members. From the information contained in their minds, the planet is making duplicates of loved ones.
That sounds intriguing, and one can see why the concept grabbed Soderbergh. (It also grabbed the late Soviet director Andrei Tarkovsky, who in 1972 made an equally inert "Solaris" from Stanislaw Lem's novel of the same name.) But while the story might at least seem to suggest an emotional movie about life, death, identity, grief, joy and obsession, "Solaris" feels as though it were filmed in a meat locker. It gives a cold-as-Kubrick treatment to touchy-feely subject matter and keeps the audience at a distance.
So we get a love story, but a love story made up either of tortured confrontations, seen in flashback, or long conversations in space.
Someone speaks. Long pause. Someone else speaks. Long pause. Ingmar Bergman,
no less, would be snapping his fingers saying, "Get on with it." What's worse,
the slowness and heaviness make up only the pretense of emotion. It's all surface.
Soderbergh's screenplay doesn't go to the deep places but stays on a heady, barren plane. The love of this man's life has just come back. There's no ecstasy, no exuberance. There are just discussions about the new Rheya's existential reality. She's a copy of Rheya, but she's not Rheya. This causes her some anxiety. To be more specific, she's a copy of the Rheya in Kelvin's mind, and that causes him anxiety. A potentially intense situation degenerates into the ultimate in solipsism. When he looks at her, he's looking into himself. And we're looking at a man look into himself. The view is not that interesting.
The effect is, in fact, trance-like and trance-inducing, and this quality is only emphasized by Cliff Martinez's minimalist Philip Glass-like score. Occasionally, someone will look out the window of the station, and we'll see a red swirling something that is supposed to be Solaris, but looking out the window is about as close to the outdoors as we get in this highly interior piece. It comes as a surprise to find out that "Solaris" is not a low-budget movie. It looks like it.

"How hard can it be?" is the first question a daring do-it-yourselfer may ask when approaching a perceivably easy home repair. And many have found out the answer to this question the hard way. The DIY craze has been in full swing in the United States for a while now. With the Internet as our guide, it seems as though no job is too large for our capable hands. Virtually every kind of repair or renovation is explained in full online, many times with step-by-step video to go along with it. And in a time when every penny counts, paying a professional could mean dipping into your staycation fund. There are many home repairs and renovation jobs that someone with modest experience can try to tackle. So how do you know when you're being penny-wise versus pound foolish?
Ask any DIY enthusiast about the fun of a self-styled home renovation, and you'll likely be peppered with horror stories of cracked walls and wobbling floorboards. But walls that aren't plumb and floors that aren't level are far different than leaking ceilings or sparking outlets. Attempting certain repairs can be dangerous to your house and harmful to yourself.
We'll walk you through five jobs that you'd be better off to leave to a professional.
Plumbing Repairs
One thing can be said about water -- if there's a way out, water will find it. The very smallest leak can lead to thousands of dollars worth of damage if it's not caught in time. If you're a capable do-it-yourselfer and there's existing plumbing in place, you can probably manage some minor repairs like changing a shower head or replacing a faucet. Even installing a new toilet is within the realm of a capable DIY-er (just make sure you have a tight seal). Where you can get into trouble is if you try to modify your plumbing system -- extending hot water lines or re-routing your sewer pipes. Working with hot water means copper pipes, and that requires a blow torch. Unless you have some serious welding experience, it's best to leave the torch jobs to the professionals. While this isn't as dangerous as electric work, plumbing problems can get out of hand fast and lead to an expensive and wet future.
Electrical Repairs
Any projects involving electricity should be approached with extreme caution. Like plumbing, you may be able to pull off minor repairs like changing a light switch or installing a ceiling fan -- as long as you make sure that your power is turned off before you start. You can test the switch against the breaker so you're positive that there isn't a current, or you can just turn off your master switch to be super sure. You should also invest in a decent volt meter so you can test wires for power. But if the repair goes beyond a simple fixture, it's best to call a professional electrician. In some instances, you have to have a permit to get the work done, and a professional will be your only option. Extending or replacing circuits is dangerous business if you don't know what you're doing. One wrong move could burn your house down, and a shock could result in injury or death. There are also building codes that are mandated for safety purposes; not being up to code may not affect you now, but it will if you ever try to sell your home.
Asbestos Removal
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral and has been used for years in older homes and businesses for its insulating properties. It's resistant to heat and electricity and is a good acoustic barrier as well. Unfortunately, asbestos was found to be toxic, and most of its uses were banned in the United States in 1989 by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The ban was overturned in 1991, allowing trace amounts of asbestos in certain products, but the days of using it in large amounts as an insulator were over. While this stopped the mass use of asbestos, there were no provisions for the homes and businesses that already contained it.
Asbestos abatement teams are typically hired to rid commercial properties of the toxic insulation. While it's possible to perform a DIY asbestos removal, it's not recommended. Aside from the inherent dangers of toxicity, there are many laws that govern the removal of asbestos because it can pose a danger to those in close proximity -- like your neighbors. So what's a homeowner to do? Hire a professional.
Roofing Repairs
Repairing a roof isn't recommended for a do-it-yourselfer for one reason -- it's easy to fall off of. Repairing a roof shingle or two isn't the toughest job in the world, but it's getting up and down and carrying your tools with you that pose the risk of injury or death. It's also very tiring work, and when you're tired, you're more prone to make a mistake. Just a quick slip is all it takes to send you over the edge of a second-story roof.
If you live in a one-story ranch and your slope is less than 20 degrees, you can probably get away with gutter work and minor shingle repair. Your roof may even be low enough to do it from the ladder. But these minor fixes still can be dangerous, and you should never attempt any of them when you're home alone. At the very least, you should have a spotter in place to hold the ladder and be there in case of an accident. Aside from the danger involved, roofing work also requires experience to get it right. If you bite off more than you can chew, you may end up with a leaky roof and expensive water damage.
Gas Appliance Repairs
A typical home may have several different appliances that run on gas. Your clothes dryer, oven and hot water heater are a few. It isn't always a repair that leads people down the path of danger when dealing with gas. Sometimes, it may just be necessary to move the stove because of a floor tiling project or to move a dryer away from a wall that needs painting. Some homeowners feel like a hot water heater replacement is within the realm of their capabilities, and this is when accidents happen. Like water, gas will always find a leak. So while you may have done a good job in cutting off the gas supply line and moving the stove, you may not have been as careful when hooking it back up. The end result of what you thought was a simple fix could lead to accidental carbon monoxide poisoning -- something that kills more than 400 people per year in the United States alone [source: Medscape.com].

England Amateur International Clyde Honeysett Purnell was born on the 14 May 1877 and developed into one of the greatest all round sportsmen ever produced by the Isle of Wight.
He was the son of John and Emily Purnell, his father being an auctioneer and upholsterer in Ryde High Street. The family had sporting inclinations with his brother Jas. B, who was later an Alderman and Mayor of Ryde, playing for and later being on the committee of Ryde Football Club. Clyde's sporting prowess extended to Water Polo, Athletics, Cricket, Lawn Tennis, Football, Cycling, Tobogganing, Ping-Pong and Billiards for all of which he gained awards. As a youth, Clyde played football for Ryde Rovers along with his brother before moving to work in London where he joined the Olympic Sporting Club. He was elected club captain when only 18. He was a keen cricketer and headed the batting averages of the Olympic Club for several seasons. If it had not been for business ties he would almost certainly have played county cricket. He was the winner of the club's Pre-eminence Cup on every occasion it was competed for during his seven year membership. He was in the winning team in the City of London Lawn Tennis Shield competition for five successive years up to 1902 and was in the team which won the London Water Polo Shield, being vice-captain of the team. He was the club 100 yards champion for seven years.
Clyde picked up F.A. Amateur Cup runners up medal in 1905, at Shepherd's Bush, where Clapton were beaten in the Final, 3-2 by West Hartlepool, Purnell scored both the Clapton goals that day.
Two years later in 1907 he won the F.A. Amateur Cup with Clapton and scored in the 6-0 thrashing of Eston United in the final. He went on later that year to gain his first international cap against Ireland.
However, the pinnacle of his football career was when he played for the gold medal winning Great Britain international amateur squad in the 1908 Olympic Games at inside left. The triumphant British team began their Olympic campaign with a 12 – 1 thrashing of Sweden, Clyde scoring four times, Holland were beaten 4 – 0 in the Semi – Final and Denmark 2 – 0 in the Final. Clyde Purnell won 4 England Amateur International caps and played representative football for Hampshire, Middlesex and London once scoring eight times for Middlesex against Berks and Bucks.
Fittingly for a sportsman Clyde Purnell, who worked as a traveller for a firm of sports outfitters, collapsed and died at Folkestone Racecourse on 14 August 1934 aged 57 leaving a widow and a son. The funeral was held at Golders Green Crematorium.
