ST Bartholomew's church and Otford Methodists are arranging for the musical 'A Turbulent Priest' to come to St Bartholomew's on October 19 when Thomas Becket returns to Otford bringing King Henry II with him. 850 years after his murder in Canterbury Becket is coming back to Otford a place where it's said he particularly enjoyed staying while Archbishop (1162-1170) in spite of the taste of the water and the songs of its nightingales which disturbed his devotions! This musical by James Cary and James Sherwood retells the medieval bromance in sketch and song between Henry and Becket that ended in more than tears. The two-man show is both funny and thought provoking. It illustrates what can happen when the worlds of political power and Christian faith collide.

A MAN from Andover has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs following a crash on the A34 last night (Sunday).
Police were called at 6.55pm after reports of a two-vehicle collision on the northbound carriageway of the A34, between Winchester and Bullington Cross.
One of vehicles was said to have left the carriageway and "gone down an embankment", according to the ambulance service.
One person was taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
A 22-year-old man from Andover remains in custody after being detained on suspicion of multiple charges.
He was arrested on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle with a proportion of a specified controlled drug above the specified limit, causing serious injury by dangerous driving, driving a vehicle whilst unfit through drugs.
The fire and ambulance service were also in attendance.
Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to the incident at 7.10pm, with crews from Winchester and Redbridge, Southampton, attending.
They extricated one female casualty from a vehicle with the stop call coming in at 8.20pm.
She was then taken to the major trauma centre of Southampton General Hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Another person from the same vehicle was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
South Central Ambulance Service says it sent one ambulance, a paramedic team leader in a rapid response vehicle, its full Hazardous Area Response Team and the Hampshire and Isle of Wight critical care car to the scene.
The incident was one of two to occur the A34 last night, after a second crash on the southbound carriageway was reported shortly after.
Witnesses took to Twitter to describe a scene of "utter chaos" with bumper-to-bumper traffic on both sides of the A34. Others reported being stuck in traffic for up to 45 minutes.
The northbound carriageway was closed completely until midnight, while a lane on the southbound carriageway remained blocked from around 9pm until just before 11pm, according to Highways England.

- 2 pounds ground chicken
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 jalapeno, chopped, about 2-3 tbsp
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 cup finely shredded 2% cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 6-8 slices ultra-thin pepper jack cheese
- 6-8 onion ciabatta buns (I used gluten free)
- 6–8 butter lettuce leaves
- 6-8 slices of tomato
- 1/2 red onion, sliced into rings
- 1 avocado, slices into rings
1. In a large bowl, combine all of the burger ingredients. Use your hands to mix the ingredients together. Form the meat mixture into patties about 3 – 3 1/2 inches round and 1 – 1 1/2 inches thick. You do not need to dimple the patties.
2. PAM the grill plate. Place the grill plate on the stove over medium-high heat. When hot, place the patties onto the grill plate, 2 on each side, cooking 4 at a time. Do NOT squish the patties. Let them cook on their own. If you squish them, the juices will run out, and you don't want that. Cook the patties until they've browned, 7-10 minutes, and then flip the patties over. Be careful not to burn the bottom of the patties. Cook them 7-10 minutes more. Remove from heat and cook the remaining patties.
3. Cut the ciabatta buns in half, place the cheese on the top half, and the veggies on the bottom half. Enjoy!

Former Melrose Place star Jamie Luner has categorically denied allegations of sexual assault.
Anthony Oliver has accused Luner of performing oral sex on him as a teenager and claims she drugged him and recorded their sexual encounter.
He told TMZ he met the actress when he attended a party with his brother at Luner's home in Los Angeles in 1998.
Oliver, who was 16 at the time, alleged the then-26-year-old actress gave him alcohol and drugs before they entered a bedroom with a third person who he did not identify.
He claimed the other person filmed Luner performing oral sex on him.
Luner's manager told People on Friday: "There is absolutely no merit to these allegations, and in our opinion, this is a blatant attempt at extortion."
Oliver also told Page Six he was offered whisky and methamphetamines.
He filed a police report with the Los Angeles Police Department last month, according to TMZ.
Luner played the role of Lexi Sterling on the popular '90s show.

"Tuning gas adsorption in photoresponsive and spin crossover metal-organic frameworks"
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are attracting much attention in recent years for their potential use in gas separation, for example as physical adsorbents of carbon dioxide from a flue gas. Usually, temperature is increased to release CO2 from the material. But a few recent studies have demonstrated that an efficient capture-and-release process can be obtained upon light excitation in azobenzene- functionalized photoactive MOFs [1,2]. By combining DFT calculations and classical Monte Carlo methods, we recently demonstrated that in these MOFs, the notable change in gas uptake upon light irradiation, is due to the blocking of the strongly adsorbing metal sites upon isomerization of the azo groups from trans to cis [3]. Interestingly, our study suggests a large fraction of cis at the photostationary state. A large optical absorption band separation of the first and second excited states between trans and cis within the MOF could support this hypothesis. In order to address this point, we have computed the optical absorption spectra of these MOFs and their ligands using different computational approaches : periodic and embedded GW/BSE calculations as wavefunction-based CASSCF/CASPT2. In the final part of the talk I will present some ongoing computational studies on a Fe-based coordination polymer that we believe could exhibit large difference affinity for CO2 or similar gases upon spin transition.

The new Browning A5 makes better use of kinetic energy with its powerful, short recoil-operated Kinematic Drive System. Kinematic Drive harnesses recoil energy and converts it into the mechanical motion needed to operate the action. This concept is tried and true, and now perfected by the company that broke ground first with autoloading shotguns. The beauty of Kinematic Drive is the simplicity of design for consistent, reliable function with any load and under the full extremes of weather, temperature, moisture and grime. This gun is designed to work, come hell or high water. Operation is clean because gases are sent out the barrel and away from the action. There's also extreme load versatility.

Jung Yun Ho, began to dance in 7th grade, where he made a dance team at his school and took them to a competition where, among other, they competed with Seungri's dance team. During the depression, Jung Yun Ho's family's business was not doing very well, and so, he moved away from home and took many small jobs to support his sister's education. At the time he was in 9th grade, and due to this, he often slept under the bridge of a train station. At this time he auditioned for SM Entertainment and was accepted.
U-Know, secured his spot in Tong Vfang Xien Qi through a dance competition. He was the second member to join the group after Xiah. Prior to this, he accumulated some musical experience as a rapper and backup dancer for K-Pop singer Dana in her "Diamond" video.
On October 15, 2006 he was hospitalized because intoxication because an anti-fan, who gave him a drink mixed with superglue while the group was filming a variety show. He was rushed to the hospital and eventually recovered, though he was weak for some time. No charges were pressed against the anti-fan, who turned herself in the next day, because he did not want to punish someone the same age as his sister.
In September 2009, U-Know was chosen as main role for the dorama Heading to the Ground. The dorama didn't get good ratings and it ended after 16 episodes (instead of 20).

Swamp Cooler Parts: How to Install New Pulleys
Changing swamp cooler parts and installing new one is a very simple process. Changing the pulleys in your swamp cooler is a very easy project that is done with about 20 minutes and simple hand tools.
Step 1: Turn off Power
Before working on the swamp cooler, turn the power off to it. This will protect you in case the unit starts operating.
Step 2: Remove Cover and Motor
With a flat screwdriver, remove the cover of the unit so you can get to the swamp cooler parts. With the cover off, unplug the motor and loosen the bolts to it. You will have to remove it so you can get to the pulley.
Step 3: Remove Belt
Grab a hold of the belt and pull it while turning the pulley manually. This will cause the belt to slide off.
Step 4: Remove and Replace Pulley
With the crescent wrench, or a socket wrench, loosen up the bolt in the center of the fan pulley. Remove it and replace with the new one. Remember to place a small amount of grease in the center of the pulley.
Step 5: Replace Swamp Cooler Parts
After the pulley has been secure with the retaining bolt, then replace the rest of the parts in the reverse order that they were removed.

Evercore's Roger Altman appeared on Bloomberg Television's 'Surveillance Midday' with Tom Keene today to discuss the current M&A landscape as well as the U.S. strategy in Libya.
Altman says that the M&A cycle will not be derailed in 1-2 years and that Libya should not be a U.S.-only effort.
On the U.S. economic recovery vs what's happening in Europe:
'History will show that the United States reacted forcefully, powerfully, and effectively to the credit market collapse and the great recession, and that Europe reacted less forcefully, less effectively, and so forth. That is what the verdict of history will be. However, we are also, in this country, resisting at this very moment a degree of austerity with which we will need to embrace here. If you look at the latest CBO revision on the long-term deficit outlook, it is not tenable. It is not a sustainable thing.
We want to actually get from here to the point in 2021 when the CBO says we have federal debt representing 100% of our GDP. That is levels like Italy and Greece. We won't actually to get from here to there. Either we will solve this proactively, our leaders getting together and negotiating an outcome, which I hope they will. Or the global financial markets at some point over the next three or four years will intervene and impose a solution for us. One way or the other, the austerity is coming here also'.
On if this should be addressed after the election in 2012:
'If you were a betting person, you would probably say that. I would like to think we would at least put in place a framework along the basics of the Bowles-Simpson commission report, which would then perhaps be implemented later. If you were a better, you say that we will probably not address this directly until then'.
On the current M&A environment:
'The bottom obviously from an equity point of view was March 2009. I think that history will show that that was also about the bottom on merger volume. So, we are about two years into this M&A recovery, and it probably has another three years to go, give or take. What is really going on now is a virtuous circle, if I could put it that way, or cycle, which always spells higher M&A volume. You have rising equity prices. You have extraordinarily favorable credit market conditions and financing ability. You have improving business conditions. Those together spell higher CEO confidence, and that's the combination that has historically meant growing merger volume and that's why we're seeing it'.
On what Evercore is seeing in the U.S. economic recovery:
'We are seeing some improvement in the labor market conditions now, but it is slow and pretty anemic. This is the greatest challenge of our country faces other than perhaps our fiscal overhang to revive our labor markets. While I do think we will see improved monthly job numbers as the year goes on, it's going to take us five years to get the 8.5 million people that were employed four years ago that are not employed now back into the workforce. The longer that takes, the harder it will be because so many of the unemployed are now long-term unemployed. This is a terrible problem and I do not think we at as a nation are doing everything we can on it'.
On a public policy to assist private market development on job creation abroad:
'The key to improving our labor markets over the long term is education. It sounds trite, but it is. The college completion rate in the United States has been flat for quite a few years now. That is not the case in a lot of other advanced countries. It is about 62%. We must get that up. If you study the returns-to-education, income by education level, you see that the importance of higher education has never been greater in terms of employment. We are living in a world which is not only globalized, but intensely skill dependent. As a country, we are not doing what we have to do on education. We're never going to get where we really want to be on raising standards of living unless we improve education levels'.
On Bill Gross' assumption on higher bond yields and the effect on the M&A boom:
'I don't think there is going to be any derailing of the merger dynamics I discussed over the next year or two because yields will probably rise but slowly. I agree with his forecast in terms of eventually being higher and probably quite a bit higher. But I think that will be slow given the slack around the world, economically speaking–the U.S., Europe, Japan in particular–so, no, I do not think it will be derailed. Whether his take on that is right from a bond market point of view, I think it is'.
On the leadership in the White House:
'I do not buy the idea that the President is not leading when it comes to Libya. The United States does not have, at least in my view, strategic interests in Libya. If you think about the countries where we do, Libya does not fit into that category. Therefore, to have this no-fly zone and what follows from this, not be an only U.S.-only approach, is the only way to do this. It is the right way to do this…I think Obama has been correct. This shouldn't be a U.S.-only effort…Particularly when you consider how limited the resources of the U.S. are in terms of both a military point view and a financial point of view, we do not want to be enmeshed in Libya'.
On the AT&T and T-Mobile merger:
'This is as fiercely competitive a business — wireless — as any you know or I know. Just watch, for example, the NCAA March Madness. Every other ad is for an ad for a wireless service. This business is going to remain fiercely competitive, and this step will not change that. By the way, prices have fallen 50% over the last 10 years, and they will keep falling whether this occurs or does not occur. I do not see this as changing the fundamentally fiercely competitive nature of the business nor the price in curve going down'.

Fiat has brought back the 500 1957 Edition to the United States, following strong sales of the vintage-styled micro hatch during the 2016 model year.
The 1957 Edition is available as a US$995 ($1370) package for the high-grade 500 Lounge, adding 16-inch retro-inspired wheel options, retro Fiat badging, ivory door trim panels, white exterior mirrors, and a two-tone exterior finish (white roof on the hatch and black soft-top for the convertible).
Other highlights include Marrone leather for the shift boot (manual only), and an Acorio/Marrone leather steering wheel. Three retro paint colours will be offered with the package – Celeste Blue (pictured), Chiaro (light green) and Bianco Ice (white).
Like the wider US-market Fiat 500 range, the 1957 Edition is powered by a 1.4-litre 'MultiAir' turbocharged petrol engine, developing 135hp (100kW) of power and 150lb-ft (203Nm) of torque.
A six-speed manual transmission sends drive to the front wheels as standard, with a six-speed automatic available as an option.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has confirmed the 500 1957 Edition will hit US showrooms this fall – or spring Down Under.
FCA's local division was unable to confirm whether the 1957 Edition will make it Down Under, though Alessia Terranova, senior manager for corporate communications, didn't rule it out entirely.
"We're always evaluating new product for the local market," she told CarAdvice.
FCA Australia offered a similar model in the form of the 2018 Fiat 500 Anniversario, which also commemorated the nameplate's 60th anniversary, limited to just 60 units nationally and was launched in November last year.

Then Jason Snell wrote an opinion piece about the Lair in the current issue of Macworld.
For me, and many others, Lair is about reading actual print (books and magazines that have piled up around our homes) and talking face to face with other engaged readers. I want my uninterrupted reading and chatting time. I do not want to be wired and connected.
Every summer, I go to the Lair of the Bear, a camp for University of California alumni in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The entire idea of the Lair is for families to spend a week in the forest, away from the insanity of our busy lives. And yet, over the years, that retreat into the woods has become less of a retreat.
We've all got our cell phones. There's wireless Internet access at the main office. Even the sounds of the forest have been augmented by iPod speaker systems.Do I exaggerate? Only a bit. In reality, Lair of the Bear campers tend to keep their gadgets under control. I rarely see campers talking on cell phones. (It helps that only one carrier provides reception at the camp area.)
Jason, my boss reads Macworld. I subscribe to the one carrier that gets reception at the Lair. Now he knows that I could have turned on my cell phone and checked my email all along. If my boss is reading this, I would like to add that the wi-fi is slow as molasses (worse than dial-up!) and that the Lair is extended network and ultra-pricey.
My two after dinner talks were hampered/enhanced by technical glitches. Both camps, Blue and Gold, should have working projectors. However, one was broken and the other speaker had dibs on the projector both nights. (Perhaps it had something to do with his contribution to the most important science story of 1998? Unfortunately, I could not attend his talk on either night because I was busy giving my talk then. I heard from the other campers that he was fantastic.)
We improvised quickly. We got the word out for staffers and campers to bring laptops to the theater. I brought my iBook and my slides on two USB thumb drives. We loaded up the talk (in either pdf or ppt format) onto the others' laptops. At each talk, campers clustered around the 4-6 laptops in the audience. I sat facing the audience with my laptop in front of me. I said click whenever I switched to the next slide (and read the title of the next slide).
I actually welcomed the informality of this setup. It fostered a more interactive discussion. I am not fond of standing in front of a big screen. I am still slightly traumatized by the time, a few weeks ago, when I said "multi-variate optimal interpolation" in front of a room full of NASA administrators and they all giggled.

Leigh Alan Jorgensen, the owner-operator of Cairns tourism business Trek North Tours, was given a 12-month jail sentence and fined $84,956 by the Federal Circuit Court after he was found to be in contempt of court by breaching a freeze order on his company's accounts.
The accounts were frozen as part of proceedings against Jorgensen and his business for unpaid staff wages.
Jorgensen has been in the sights of regulators for several years. He was initially found guilty of underpaying backpacker employees in 2013 and 2014, and ordered to reimburse the affected workers as well as pay a personal penalty of $12,000. Trek North Tours was also fined $55,000.
However in July 2015, with none of the payments made, the FWO successfully sought to have the bank accounts of the company and Jorgensen frozen.
"At the time, Jorgensen's communications with the Fair Work Ombudsman suggested he was prepared to 'bankrupt' his company to avoid paying the penalties and back-pay order," the FWO noted.
He was caught out attempting to do just this in February 2016. However that prompted separate action by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), which ultimately found he had misled the corporate watchdog by claiming that his business had no outstanding liabilities while trying to deregister it.
As part of that conviction, Jorgensen was automatically banned from managing a company for a five-year period.
My Business then became involved in the case after an anonymous reader suggested Jorgensen had breached this ban and continued to operate his business, much to the frustration of other local operators.
My Business took the allegation to ASIC, which launched an investigation into the matter.
Jorgensen subsequently paid the personal fine, freeing up his own accounts, while the company's remained frozen. Yet a month later, Jorgensen allegedly transferred $41,035 from the company's two frozen accounts into a family trust, in direct breach of court orders.
It may have taken a further three years, but the FWO secured a conviction against Jorgensen for the breach – the first time the Ombudsman has pursued a contempt of court case.
According to the FWO, Jorgensen served 10 days behind bars before being released pending the outcome of an appeal he has lodged against his conviction.
As part of his release, Jorgensen had to pay the almost $85,000 fine, surrender his passport and report to police twice a week. He is also barred from travelling interstate.
"We will use every lever open to us to ensure the integrity of the administration of justice and compliance with court orders imposed under the Fair Work Act 2009," the FWO's Natalie James said.
"This includes taking unprecedented new actions available to us across the legal framework such as this one."
A date has not yet been set for the court to hear Jorgensen's appeal.

Rural Lands Strategy
In February 2018, Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council went to the community to confirm what were the issues and opportunities of our rural land. From there, Council produced ten issues papers which explored each of these issues in depth.
Further consultation with the community was undertaken in late 2018. The community feedback and the information presented by the issues papers have been used to create this Directions Paper.
The Directions Paper is a snap shot of what issues are important to our Local Government Area as well as the opportunities we should pursue when drafting land use legislation and control plans. It is a living document and there is no time limit on giving us feedback.
Giving feedback on the Directions Paper is easy, using any of the following:
Post: PO Box 420, COOTAMUNDRA NSW 2590
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ML9LNG2
Directions Paper
In March 2018, background research began for the preparation of a Rural Lands Strategy. The Rural Lands Strategy is one of several strategies which will act to inform the new Cootamundra-Gundagai Local Environment Plan.
In May-October 2018, Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council, in conjunction with Riverina Agriconsultants (formerly Booth Associates), researched topics identified during the Villages Strategy as issues within the Local Government Area. The issues identified were:
- CRGC Freight and Transport
- CGRC Agricultural Tourism Issues Paper
- CGRC Farm Diversification Issues Paper
- CGRC Farm Holdings Issues Paper
- CGRC Regional Food Issues Paper
- CGRC Rural Living Issues Paper
- CGRC Connections to Villages and Towns Issues Paper
- CGRC Forestry Issues Paper
- CGRC Mining Disused Mines and Landfill Issues Paper
- CGRC Environmental Pressures Issues Paper
Copies of each issues paper will also be available for viewing at each of the Council offices and public libraries.
Following four (4) information sessions held across Cootamundra and Gundagai Council is asking for community feedback in regard to the Rural Lands Strategy.
Members of the community who wish to attend are encouraged to read each issues paper prior to attending the workshop to foster constructive discussion. Staff members will be available at both sessions to answer any questions.

OAKLAND — Early results Tuesday night showed Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley leading in the polls against her first challenger, civil rights attorney Pamela Price, in the hotly contested race for top prosecutor.
O'Malley, who has been a prosecutor for more than 30 years, was leading after updated results posted polls closed in Alameda County. Only 46.8 percent of precincts were reported at 12:28 a.m. Wednesday morning and O'Malley led by nearly 59 percent of the vote, down slightly from her initial 63 percent when first results came out.
The last time the county's district attorney office race was contested dates back to 1974, according to the Bay Area News Group's archives. Former District Attorney Tom Orloff resigned in 2009 and recommended O'Malley be appointed as his successor.
Tom Clifford, a representative from O'Malley's campaign, said that they were closely watching election results.
"These are super-promising results. At the same time, there's a lot of votes left to be counted," Clifford said.
Price stirred controversy when she announced she would not prosecute any misdemeanor cases if elected. In an editorial interview with this news organization, she said it was a "waste of resources." She later backtracked and said she would prosecute misdemeanor domestic violence cases.
Voter Tashoni Cooper, of Oakland, who was voting at the Alameda County building in Oakland late Tuesday afternoon, questioned that platform. She said she was shocked to hear that all misdemeanors would not be prosecuted if she was elected.
Beatrice Johnson, aunt of Oscar Grant, who was killed by BART police officer Johannes Mehserle in 2009 at Oakland's Fruitvale station, was rallying for Price outside McClymonds High School in West Oakland. Johnson said she believes incumbent O'Malley should have pushed for a tougher punishment for Mehserle, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and served 11 months in jail.
"Only 11 months in jail? That was on her watch," Johnson said. "Pamela Price desires justice with compassion, and you have to have that not just for black and brown people but for everyone."
O'Malley received flack when she accepted a $10,000 donation from the Fremont police union while she was investigating three officers in two separate fatal shooting deaths. After an uproar, O'Malley donated the $10,000 in April to the Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments in Fremont.
Alameda County Superior Court Judge
Other races in Alameda County included the judicial seat of Tara Flanagan, contested by former public defender Karen Katz. Initial election night results showed Flanagan, the incumbent, leading the race with at least 64 percent of the vote.
The challenger claimed the incumbent judge was disrespectful of jurors and defendants, commingled funds and exhibited general bad judgment. But voters, in early results, seemed to disagree, and sided with the incumbent.
Measure A
Initial results in Alameda County had voters in favor of Measure A, but not by the two-thirds needed to pass. With 100 percent of precincts reporting, 65 percent of Alameda County voters favored the measure.
Measure A is a 30-year, 0.5 percent countywide sales tax increase, expected to generate $140 million annually. If passed, funds would be used to fund child care and preschool programs for low- and middle-income families and programs to help prevent child abuse, and includes the hiring of child care workers.
County assessor
Also on the ballot for Alameda County voters was the race for county assessor, as current Assessor Ron Thomsen is not seeking re-election. Early results showed candidate Phong La, a tax attorney, ahead of the three other challengers with 36 percent of vote.
Closely behind La in initial results were candidates James "Jim" Johnson, who has worked at the assessor's office for 26 years; followed by John Weed, an assessment appeals officer who is also on the property tax assessment appeals board for Alameda County. In last position was, Kevin D. Lopez, a certified general appraiser who has also worked at the assessor's office for 23 years.
The Alameda County auditor's seat is also up for grabs, as Melissa Wilk and Irella Blackwood face off for the auditor position. Tuesday night returns showed Wilk ahead of Blackwood with 59 percent.
Wilk is the county's chief deputy auditor-controller, and Blackwood currently works for the city and county of San Francisco as the executive accounting manager.
Measure D-Oakland library parcel tax
In Oakland, Measure D, a library parcel tax, asked voters if they were willing to pay $75 per parcel annually for 20 years. Election night showed that voters agreed to pass the measure, with 75 percent of the vote.
The special tax would be used on library services throughout Oakland to protect and improve services, including preventing library closures, providing youth and senior reading programs, and allowing longer hours on evenings and weekends for adult and family literacy services.

Coffey Architects, KSR and Thomas-McBrien Architects have completed a series of £5,000 shop window installations in Regent Street, central London
Other teams chosen for the annual RIBA commission – which will remain on display for the next three weeks – include Freehaus, canalGRANDE, Nicholas Szczepaniak Architects and Red Deer.
The contest, for the Regent Street Association, was open to all RIBA members and chartered practices – previously it has been limited to London architects – and is now in its eighth year.
Regent Street was built by architect John Nash as part of a 19th-century urban improvement scheme linking Regent's Park to St James's Park. Today it is one of the West End's most important retail destinations.
Last year's selected teams included Bureau de Change, Knox Bhavan, Piercy & Co and Matheson Whiteley. The previous year's 13 winners included EPR Architects, Coppin Dockray, Citizens Design Bureau, and Conran and Partners.
Readers' comments (1)
I assume when I saw this they were window displays of architect's work in progress, and the finished cities, towns, houses etc. Not the usual FMCG tat?!
We need to connect to the general public to recruit new talent, potential clients, explain what we do? There are retail units to spare on most high streets now. Coffee and sandwiches, cakes would provide traction. Is it worth the RIBA, or practises getting in the window with Nero or Starbucks? Coffee on the ground floor, and perhaps a design office upstairs?
Come on guys? It's a whole new world out there.

Economists Raise Estimates, Differ on Degree
Florida's economic picture is brightening for the first time in three years as state economists on Friday upped their revenue estimates for the current fiscal year and beyond.
But the good news that collections for the current fiscal will be $338.4 million, or 1.6 percent, more than previously expected was offset by the enormity of the task as lawmakers enter the 2010 Legislative session with an estimated $2.6 billion shortfall and that's if it wants to fund only critical programs.
With property tax collections expected to be off by 9 percent and Medicaid costs growing, the marginal increase in collection will make a tough job only slightly easier. Collections next year are now expected to rise $312.6 million, up 1.4 percent.
Still, after nearly three years of downward expectations, economists meeting for the periodic re-tweaking for state revenue collections saw the upturn as a trend that will continue into 2012.
"It's not that we're disagreeing about a lot of dollars," said Amy Baker, coordinator with the Office of Economic and Demographic Research. "Really, the question is have we turned yet or is (the recovery) right ahead of us?" And if we have turned, how fast can we move forward.?"
Fuelled by higher corporate profits and sales tax collections led by boosting auto sales, a panel of economists ratcheted up estimates last made in August when they last meet. Going forward, the economists from the governor's office, the Department of Revenue and the Legislature agreed that revenue growth would jump by 6.6 percent next year before becoming even more robust beginning in 2011.
"Underlying the forecast is the assumption that the extreme financial and economic stress that began over a year ago will improve with the beginning of the new calendar year," Baker said.
Friday's revenue estimating conference, which will become the fodder from which Gov. Charlie Crist's budget recommendation will be based, came after an uncharacteristically discordant meeting. Often more closely aligned, economists differed on the pace and degree of recovery as Florida works its way out of the worst national economic downturn since the 1930s.
Economists agreed that the federal "Cash for Clunkers" program accounted for more than $35 million in sales tax collections. They differed widely over whether the state would see a significant falloff as the program comes to an end.
"What the program also did was it brought a lot of people into the showrooms who did not buy and created some demand that was not met immediately but will be somewhere down the road," said Christian Weiss, an economist with the Department of Revenue.
Baker was more pessimistic, saying tight credit and high unemployment will continue to hamper automobile sales, a major driver in overall sales tax revenue. The robust sales spurred by the federal program will translate into softer sales over the next few quarters.
Overall, sales tax revenue grew by $229 million for the current fiscal year and $228 million for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
Also housing sales were buoyed federal stimulus dollars, a trend that may not continue as robustly despite the decision to extend the program until June 2010.
"I think the people who were going to take advantage of it have already taken advantage of it," said Tim Campbell, EDR analyst.
Legislative leaders took Friday's news cautiously, saying they base their budget proposals on estimates made early next year.
"For now, our approach to state spending remains cautious and prudent," said House Speaker Larry Cretul. "The facts have not changed that Florida still faces significant economic challenges in the years ahead."

So it also over a decade since your infamous Mancienne is Gash t-shirt as well, Del!
There are only two man-made objects that can be seen from space.
1. The Great Wall of China
2. Low Hill at Christmas
Can I just take this opportunity to apologise to you all for inviting Langers to TWF, 10 years ago.
Cheers xx
I joined October 1, 2010 after an invitation extended to BBC's 606 from Frank or North-West. That makes me a member of eight and a half years! It's been a great vehicle for me to re-connect about Wolves. I feel like I have got to know some people that I've never met and, given my age, likely will not meet, since my days of traveling over to watch Wolves play live ended nearly ten years ago.
Probably. The photo was taken at Barnsley in May 2009 but may have ended up onhere when we opened.

Wop was proven right in the end, albeit for a few months we all thought Mancienne was a world beater...
That is a strong look.
There were some VERY strong looks in that pub beer garden. For some reason I was wearing a porkpie hat as I remember.
(BTW - I always agreed Mancienne was gash. In fact I was a bit more strongly worded about it!)

Fucking state of that bellend
The Formula is dead. Long live The Criteria!
We certainly did not all think Mancienne was a world beater. Milli Vanilli crossed with a seven year old girl. He looked inferior to Stearman throughout and Stears has probably ended up having the better career, and we all know exactly what he is.
(Although you strange people voted for him as Player of the Year in 14/15 and also welcomed him back under Zenga, despite him being a chestbeating airhead).
He's on Twitter.
Just over 9 years for me - I was fed up with the ridiculous negativity in the mix at the time, and Langers rescued me!
When I come to see the wolves, I tend to bring my boy (now 12) so dont do the pubs, but would be good to buy a few of you a pint if I come up when hes not around at some point.
Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as...
Yes, I was being a contrary bastard for a change (although I actually didn't like him and his stupid habit of letting the ball drop over his head all the time).
Lost my login and shortened my username so not sure what my original joining date was, but came over from 606 thanks to Frank or SpiritualWolf.
I'd have probably done a lot more work and gone a lot further in life if it wasn't for this place.
February 2010 for me, I think Kenny invited me by PM on the Mix if I recall correctly. I never had a problem on the Mix it was just being at work all day meant there'd be about a 1000 posts to catch up on between 9 and 5. This place has never had that problem
Hold the door...
One common theme in this thread. In its infancy, Frank did his best to help this community grow, he brought quite a few people over here from 606. Despite events over the last year, the moderation team should be grateful for what he did in the early days.
They are
Absolutely. Frank was a master of recruitment in the early days because he had the 606 access that those of us migrating from mol mix right at the start did not.

I seem to be the new lad here,only been around about 4 years,posted a lot of drivel,and one fairly good post(see my sig for the hint),disappointed to have not yet been properly abused by Johnny,everyone else seems to have been,still haven't built up the courage to visit the royal London on a match day to meet posters in real life
See post #5516 of ex wolf watch to find out why in my house,i hate Kenny Miller
You should do. Johnny is a pussycat really.
There are only two man-made objects that can be seen from space.

I would suggest that there are posters who miss Frank. Pass on our best wishes to him Mrs Tisi, and if he is interested in any of the jack the ripper books I have for free, drop me a pm.
Keef, get yourself to the RL or similar. No-one will get more grief than me, cos I drink halves, wuss that I am.
Johnny is a proper pussycat in real life, and a gent too. I remember clashing with him a few times, and then going to play golf with him. I was nervous, but met him on the car park, and we hit it off straight away. He's a great fella to have a chat with, as are any of the posters I've had the fortune to meet.
On matchdays, I reckon it'll be a long time before my name is darlowolf...

For quite a while now, Google has been publishing figures of sites removed due government requests, however, the firm has now introduced detailed figures of firms that reported matters of copyright and who those rights belong to.
At the top of the list of copyright owners is Microsoft, who has had over 500,000 URLs removed in the past month alone, primarily from torrent indexing sites, no doubt relating to bootleg copies of Microsoft software products. Microsoft's take-downs were reported primarily by Marketly LLC, who has of course taken the top spot for largest reporter.
Somewhat disappointingly, Microsoft is followed by the British Phonographic Industry, who has been far more active than even the American content industries, focusing on sites such as filestube and 4shared.
It's also clear from Google's information, that the number of take-down requests per week has risen from 100,000 in October last year, to 300,000 last month, suggesting a year upon year rise of up to 600 per cent. We wonder just how much of the filling process Google has automated or if it manually reviews each request; whilst a few thousand requests per week isn't too extreme for a firm the size of Google, at growth rate of 600 per cent, these requests could become a serious resource drain in the coming years.

Clarence did not write this pamphlet to trouble anyone. Rather, he had heard about people elsewhere praying to light bulbs, and he was shocked by whatever kind of "sponsorship" had been leaving people in such states. So, this pamphlet was only ever intended to be helpful to recovered alcoholics trying to better-understand things and to keep spiritual mentorship in perspective amidst a world of simple ignorance and misunderstanding.
My Higher Power - The Light Bulb
by Clarence H. Snyder
In their sincere & honest attempt to maintain a "hands-off" policy regarding fellow members' religious beliefs & perhaps sensitivities, our founding fathers exercised gentle wisdom & proffered spiritual freedom. No one, it was rightly thought, should be permitted to impose his or her own religious concepts & beliefs upon any other member of the fellowship. This area was much too important to the prospective recoveree to be tampered with by mortal man. The very life of the prospect depends, ultimately, upon his or her "personal relationship" with a "Power greater than themselves." The notion was valid in the Program's earlier days - AND IT STILL IS!
In no way, shape or form, however, was the idea conceived to avoid guiding our beloved newcomer along the path of spiritual progress. Quite the contrary, our whole purpose as recovered alcoholics, was & is to help the next person achieve sobriety. If that person is a real alcoholic his only hope is God. So in its most basic & simplest terms our only real purpose is to help the still-suffering alcoholic to find God. A loving God, a healing God is the alcoholic's only real hope.
This is no easy task. A vast array of difficulties presents themselves to thwart the new person on his journey. The foremost adversary, of course, is the illness itself. It seems that many, many alcoholics have a very fierce, emotionally charged resistance to accepting any dependence upon a Power, which, to them, may seem an abstract & remotely distant concept. This internal resistance is most effectively broken down by the potential recoveree's initial desperation. (It seems such a shame that today's AA actually encourages the newcomer to avoid reaping the blessings of that desperation.) If intense enough & deep enough, this emotional "bottom" will be the very propellant the prospect needs to thrust him into the recovery process offered by AA through its 12 Steps.
Another stumbling block, which many people who are new to the program are currently encountering, is us! We seem to be full of fear regarding the responsibility we have been given in the area of spiritual guidance. We shirk this responsibility by evasiveness or by the direct sidestepping of the issue by such statements as, "It's God as you understand Him, & it's up to you to come to your own conclusions." So the newcomer is left to his own devices. He is expected to arrive, alone & unguided, at a relationship with his Creator. One of the most powerful & hope-filled statements to be found in the entire text of Alcoholics Anonymous can be found on page 25:
"The great fact is just this, & nothing less: That we have had deep & effective spiritual experiences which have revolutionized our whole attitude toward life, toward our fellows & toward God's universe. The central fact of our lives today is the absolute certainty that our Creator has entered into our hearts & lives in a way that is indeed miraculous. He has commenced to accomplish those things for us which we could never do for ourselves."
Are we, today, so far removed from our founder's results of our recovery program that these words are nothing more than a "nice thought" or an exaggeration due to artificially elated emotions? If so, we "obviously cannot transmit something we don't have." We cannot share awareness we don't have. Cannot give guidance we have never gotten. We cannot share a vision of God we have never seen. Our lack, thereby, becomes the newcomer's & he may die because of it! Our resistance becomes his license. In his liquor befogged mind he does not seek & experience God but begins to "create" one. It's no wonder his dryness becomes so barren that in a short while he returns to drink. His "Higher Power" was a light bulb! (No joke. We have heard this comment voiced more than once & not only by a newcomer!) Or perhaps this power greater than himself was a chair, or a wall, or even a mere mortal sponsor. A quick glance at the top of page 93 of the "Big Book" makes instantly clear a very important qualification in the concept of "...as you understand Him," & that is: "He can choose any conception he likes, PROVIDED IT MAKES SENSE TO HIM."
Power greater than himself - a light bulb? A simple flick of a switch turns off that power. A wall? Not so powerful when confronted with a bulldozer. A chair? An axe can make quick kindling of that higher power. A sponsor then? If he fails to perfect his spiritual life, his old foe alcohol is sure to reclaim him. So he won't do very well as a greater power. How about a whole group? Possibly for someone else, but not for us. If one person is powerless over alcohol, & another, we would have a group of people who are powerless over alcohol. We do not have a group who ARE POWERFUL over alcohol. Yet they do not drink! They have gained access to something more powerful than alcohol.
It was never intended that phrases such as "higher power," "power greater than ourselves," or "as we understood Him" were created as an enabling device to justify our membership's continued avoidance of a connection with our Creator. Page 46 of the AA book says, "we found that as soon as we were able to lay aside prejudice & express even a willingness to believe in a Power greater than ourselves, we commenced to get results, even though it was impossible for any of us to fully define or comprehend that Power which is God." Again, "...that Power, which is God." Our founders apparently held no reservations, whatsoever, with Who was dealing with them. Perhaps, we would be well advised to think twice before we attempt any ourselves. Alcoholics Anonymous is not allied with any religion, as we well know. But it is allied with God, "for our very lives as ex-problem drinkers depend on it." It is allied with spirituality, for despite what our preamble states, AA is not a "fellowship," it is a spiritual way of life.
It is our most earnest desire that no one reading this feel that we are trying to impose any presentation of God of His nature on anyone. Our real hope is that a reader may be jolted from a position of complacency or spiritual evasion & get about the business of recovery.

The Pests Invading Jacksonville Pantries This Fall
October 17, 2018
Moths, not unlike other common insect pests, seem to invade homes more frequently in the fall months. Indian meal moths and casemaking clothes moths are among the most prevalent type of pantry pests likely to invade your home this fall. Both of these types of moths are drawn toward lights in and around your home because they use light as their main navigation source. Usually, their light source is the moon, so man-made lights around buildings and cities often confuse moths when they are flying by. Once inside your home, they may not be inclined to leave because of the available food and shelter sources.
Casemaking Clothes Moths
These moths have long, narrow wings which are pale brown or gray in color. They tend to be attracted to a variety of fabrics, but are more prone to choose unwashed, worn, or old fabric materials to infest. While the moths themselves can be annoying to deal with, it is actually their larvae that you have to worry about. Clothes moth larvae will eat through old blankets, sweaters, sheets, and woolen items. They are not only attracted to the keratin found in many of these fabrics, but also sweat stains, beverage residue, and food that might be found in the fibers of the fabric they are eating. Casemaking clothes moths damage clothing, leaving holes in your best fabrics and laying eggs that lead to future infestations.
Indian Meal Moths
As one of the most common pantry pests, and they can cause serious problems if left unchecked. These tan and russet winged insects don't feed when they are adults. Again, it is the larvae that cause most of the problems. Adult Indian meal moths seek out grains and cereals to lay their eggs in. Your flour, stored grains, seeds, and cereals are not safe. Indian meal moth larvae create an elaborate web-like substance across the foods they infest, rendering those foods inedible to humans. What's worse is that these larvae are capable of chewing through cardboard and soft plastics, meaning storing food in these items won't prevent them from becoming infected. Once Indian meal moths take over your pantry, several of your grains will end up becoming infested—which can become costly as groceries will need to be replaced.
From damaging fabrics to rendering many of your food items inedible, moths and their larvae are not a pest you want to deal with. The best and most efficient way to protect yourself from these insects is to call pest control experts from Lindsey Pest Services. We have a variety of treatment plans that are safe, fast, and effective, meaning you don't have to worry about having a pest problem for long. Contact Lindsey Pest Services today to schedule your free inspection!

Special to the Reporter
HIV has been recognized as a contagious viral disease since the 1980s. It can be transmitted through sex, use of dirty needles and at birth from infected mothers. Teens and young adults account for 41 percent of new HIV diagnoses yearly in the US.
For a long time, our only prevention strategy was condom use with sexual transmission. We now have a very effective way to prevent this disease in many at risk people.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a combination of two antiviral medications. Patients taking this one pill daily can reduce sexual transmission of HIV by 99 percent, and dirty needle transmission by 74 percent. Since there is no perfect effective mode of prevention, condoms are always recommended to prevent sexual transmission.
There were 38,739 new cases of HIV diagnosed in the United States in 2017. With PrEP, over 96 percent of those cases could have been prevented, shrinking the death rate of HIV disease in our at-risk population by that same rate.
PrEP is for people who do not have HIV. You should consider PrEP if you fit into any of the following groups:
If your sexual partner is HIV positive and you are not.
If you are a gay or bisexual man who has sex without condoms or have had an STD in the past 6 months.
If you are heterosexual and have sex without condoms with partners with high risk (people who inject drugs or women who have bisexual male partners with unknown HIV status).
If you have injected drugs in the past 6 months and have shared needles.
If your partner is HIV-positive and you are considering pregnancy.
Call your doctor to discuss PrEP if you have any questions. For a map of PrEP Providers in Washington go online to https://fortress.wa.gov/doh/prepgis/index.html. For assistance information, go online to https://www.doh.wa.gov/YouandYourFamily/IllnessandDisease/HIV/Prevention/PrEPDAP.

Top 5 Fall Activities for the Family
Top 5 Fall Activities for the Family
One of the best things about the holiday season is that it tends to bring the entire family together. Fall is certainly a time you can spend forging new traditions and building a closer bond with friends and neighbors. This autumn, we bring you the top five activities that you can enjoy with your loved ones.
1. Plan a Holiday-Themed Fall Family Photo
You may use the opportunity to get a great family picture. You may theme the shoot based on the season with beautiful fall scenery in the background, perhaps at a nearby orchard. You could also choose a dress code that personifies autumn. What great fun to pack up your family snugly in the comfort of your family car and drive out for a spectacular photo shoot. It is the perfect way to send out your next holiday card in time for Thanksgiving! Needless to say, these will also make the perfect holiday posts for your Instagram.
2. Drive Down to the Pumpkin Patch
Taking a family road trip to a grand pumpkin patch near you is the highlight of fall. If you happen to have toddlers or pre-teens in the family, then you must drive around till you find a site with a corn maze. The highlight of the evening could be a hunt for the largest pumpkin around. Taking the behemoth home and carving it magnificently is certainly a tradition that kids enjoy.
3. Plan A Road Trip For Camping And A Night Of Scary Tales
Huddling around a campfire and telling scary stories is a great way to enjoy a fascinating evening. While you may just do this in your backyard, you can also plan a road trip with your family. Just make sure that your vehicle is road trip ready before you set off on a long journey. Car maintenance plays a key role in ensuring your camping plans stay on track!
4. Cozy Up At Home For An Eerie And Haunting Evening Of Netflix
If you wish to avoid setting foot outside the comfort of your home we have other suggestions for you! There is no better time to plan to watch some eerie movies. Even if it's just a few episodes of "Stranger Things," cozying up with your loved ones is a good way to spend your night. Make sure you equip yourself with all the snacks perfect for your night in! From chocolates and soda to popcorn and chips, these treats shall promise a binge-watch evening of mammoth proportions.
5. Bake Pumpkin-Flavored Goodies
Right from pumpkin pies to ice creams and cupcakes, you can appease your taste buds with some delicious baked goodies. An afternoon of baking with your little ones is always a great idea. In fact, you may also want to store away the pumpkin seeds and dry them for creating some delicious roasted recipes. They make for healthy snacking!
These are splendid ways to make some lasting memories that your children will cherish for years to come!

If Liverpool's emotional rollercoaster of a season wasn't enough to send some fans over the edge, then the latest footage to emerge from their Champions League celebrations, which shows a powerful embrace between Jurgen Klopp and Steven Gerrard, surely will.
The Reds lifted the trophy for a sixth time after goals from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi secured a 2-0 victory over Tottenham at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano stadium.
Club legend Gerrard – who captained and inspired the side to glory back in the 2005 Istanbul final - met with Klopp and Liverpool's players at the Eurostars Madrid Tower to join in on the party.
A video captured the moment as Klopp and Gerrard revelled in ousting Spurs through a powerful hug, which showcased the family feel-good factor radiating through Liverpool right now.
Former Liverpool star Gary McAllister - Gerrard's assistant at Rangers - also passed on his congratulations to the former Dortmund manger and the Champions League winning side.
After winning his first trophy with Liverpool and breaking his major final hoodoo, the German will now be targeting Premier League success next season and dethroning Manchester City.

Release: Feb 26, 2017 - Author: brainbug1602 - Translator: Tony Montana - external link: IMDB
Compared are the US Version (German DVD by Legend) and the Italian Version (Italian DVD by iiF).
During a flight in space, Capt. Mark Markary receives some weird signal from a planet nearby. When the Galliot, another spaceship, follows up on it, the ship just vanishes into thin air. Mark decides to land on the planet in order to help the crew from the Galliot but when he arrives there, he finds their bodies. It looks like the crew members killed each other. Mysterious lights, disappearing bodies and a further ship filled with skeletons of unknown creatures raise further questions.
Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires is somewhere between cult and trash. Waggling settings and simple logic meet a story ahead of its time. There are similarities to classics such as Alien as well. Considering the very low budget, the result is quite astonishing.
There are two versions of Planet of the Vampires: The original Italian Version and an edited version for the US market. The most noticeable differences are the altered opening and end credits. While the Italian Version contains white credits on a black background, the US Version contains further space footage. Another difference is Mark's conversation with the parasites which is longer in the Italian Version and so is Toby's death. Other than that, the differences are rather marginal. If I had to pick one, I would probably recommend the Italian Version because the longer dialogs are more valuable than some spacec footage during the credits.
Running Times:
US Version: 84:13 min (incl. the MGM before and after the movie)
Italian Version: 83:54 min
The Italian Version staarts with white opening credits on a black background.
The US Version contains space footage instead and also some footage of the actual ship. Subsequently, the camera pans from the stars to the crew.
US: 1:26 min
IT: 55 sec
Mark slightly earlier.
US: 1 sec
Mark says the Galliot was out of sight and their ship did not get damaged.
IT: 10 sec
Wes approaches Mark and says any solar batteries have a short. Mark wants to know what to do about it.
US: 14 sec
The US Version contains a transition to the following scene while the Italian Version simply cuts to the following scene.
US: 1 sec
IT: 2 sec
The US Version contains a transition to the graves, followed by another one to the following scene.
US: 4 sec
Tiona longer in front of the ship. In addition to that, the subsequent shot of Mark starts a bit earlier.
US: 2 sec
The US Version contains a transition to the following scene while the Italian Version simply cuts to the following scene.
US: 1 sec
IT: 2 sec
Mark looks sideways.
US: 1 sec
The tracking shot of the skeleton is longer plus the following shot of Mark starts slightly earlier.
IT: 10 sec
The US Version contains a transition to the following scene while the Italian Version simply cuts to the following scene.
US: 1 sec
IT: 2 sec
Mark a little longer.
US: 1 sec
The creature keeps talking. He explains death was the last force destroying the will. Mark says there was only one ship available for the creatures even if the crew was on board with it. The creature replies it would do the trick if only one of them made it to the other planet because the other ones could follow its trail.
IT: 22 sec
The creature also says they should all travel to the planet together.
IT: 2 sec
Sanya believes it was a good plan but Mark should not go by himself which is why she suggests to go with him. Mark agrees.
IT: 22 sec
Toby goes down slowly. Mark fires off another shot and Toby collapses. The other creatures look around.
IT: 15 sec
In the Italian Version, "Fine" pops up on the screen. Then the end credits.
The US Version shows the ship on its way to Earth. Then the end credits.
US: 1:07 min
IT: 42 sec

|Yes, both the needles and to a lesser extent the orifice wear due to the design. Unlike SU carbs where the needle does not touch the sides of the orifice, the spring loaded Strombergs were designed to have the edge running against one side of the orifice, making the faster wearing needle run rich, mostly at idle. Use a CO meter to adjust the mixture to 4% at about 3000 rpm and don't worry about the idle mix (unless your state still requires mandatory emission tests).

Amazingly Good for you Eggnog
For some of us, the holiday season means it's time to break out the eggnog. Combining yolks, cream, unhealthy amounts of sugar, and possibly alcohol, I wouldn't exactly call traditional eggnog a heart attack in a cup, but I would say that it's definitely going to wreak havoc with your waistline and your blood sugar.

Shrimp a la Mediterrane
Shrimp is an excellent carbohydrate-free, low calorie protein. One of its most desirable benefits is high omega-3 and omega-6 fat content, which is important for cardiovascular and nervous system health. This sea protein is packed full of many vitamins and minerals including the cancer reducing mineral selenium. Selenium helps protect against the damaging effects of free radicals and boosts the immune system preventing cancer tumour growth.

You can also use any toppings you'd like - dried fruit, nuts, and seeds all work lovely. It melts much faster than regular chocolate, so be sure to keep it chilled until ready to…
