Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JRM368 - Rock (often known by its place of origin, for instance Blackpool rock or Brighton rock) is a type of hard stick-shaped boiled sugar confectionery most usually flavoured with peppermint or spearmint. It is commonly sold at tourist (usually seaside) resorts in the United Kingdom (such as Brighton, Southend-on-Sea, Scarborough, Llandudno or Blackpool) and Ireland (e.g. Bray and Strandhill)
in Gibraltar
in Denmark in towns such as L??kken and Ebeltoft
and in Sydney and Tasmania, Australia.
It usually takes the form of a cylindrical stick (a stick of rock), normally 1?2.5 cm (0.39?0.98 in) in diameter and 20?25 cm (7.9?9.8 in) long. Blackpool rock is usually at least 2.5 cm (0.98 in) in diameter, and can be as thick as 17 cm (6.7 in) across and up to 2 m (6.6 ft) long when made for special retail displays. These cylinders usually have a pattern embedded throughout the length, which is often the name of the resort where the rock is sold, so that the name can be read on both ends of the stick (reversed at one end) and remains legible even after pieces are bitten off. Rock is also manufactured as a promotional item, for example with a company name running through it.
It is sometimes found in the form of individual sweets, with writing or a pattern in the centre
these are, in effect, slices of rock.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHPYC5 - Lymm is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Warrington, Cheshire, England, which incorporates the hamlets of Booths Hill, Broomedge, Church Green, Deansgreen, Heatley, Heatley Heath, Little Heatley, Oughtrington, Reddish, Rushgreen and Statham. At the 2021 United Kingdom census it had a population of 12,700.
History
The name Lymm, of Celtic origins, means a place of running water and is likely derived from an ancient stream that ran through the village centre. The village appears as Limme in the Domesday Book of 1086.
Lymm was an agricultural village until the Industrial Revolution, which brought the Bridgewater Canal and the Warrington and Altrincham Junction Railway to the village. The village played a prominent role within the salt extraction industry, gold beating industry and cotton industry (many of its inhabitants were fustian cutters).
Lymm Heritage Centre, which opened in June 2017, is in the centre of the village on Legh Street. It hosts exhibitions related to local history as well as activities for schools and visitors.
Morris dancing was taking place in Lymm as early as 1817, often appearing in the village at Rushbearing time throughout the Victorian era. Morris dancing[7] continues to feature within the village with Lymm Morris dancers frequently performing during Rushbearing and at the various annual village festivals including the Lymm May Queen Festival, Lymm Festival and Lymm Dickensian Festival.
In 2017, Lymm was voted as one of the 'Best Places to Live' according to The Times and The Sunday Times list. In 2023, the village was voted as one of Britains 'Most Desirable Towns' according to The Daily Telegraph

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RBJ9PP - Coney Island is a peninsular residential neighborhood, beach, and leisure/entertainment destination of Long Island on the Coney Island Channel, which is part of the Lower Bay in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. Coney Island was formerly the westernmost of the Outer Barrier islands on Long Island's southern shore, but in the early 20th century it became connected to the rest of Long Island by land fill. The residential portion of the peninsula is a community of 60,000 people in its western part, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, the Lower Bay to the south, and Gravesend to the north.
Coney Island was originally part of the colonial town of Gravesend. By the mid-19th century, it became a seaside resort, and by the late 19th century, amusement parks were also built at the location. The attractions reached a historical peak during the first half of the 20th century, declining in popularity after World War II and following years of neglect. The area was revitalized with the opening of the MCU Park in 2001 and several amusement rides in the 2010s.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7DC8D - Sugar is the generalized name for sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. They are carbohydrates, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are various types of sugar derived from different sources.
Simple sugars are called monosaccharides and include glucose (also known as dextrose), fructose and galactose. The table or granulated sugar most customarily used as food is sucrose, a disaccharide. (In the body, sucrose hydrolyses into fructose and glucose.) Other disaccharides include maltose and lactose. Longer chains of sugars are called oligosaccharides.
Chemically-different substances may also have a sweet taste, but are not classified as sugars. Some are used as lower-calorie food substitutes for sugar described as artificial sweeteners.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNTK - This image shows traditional sweet shop weighing scales positioned in front of shelves packed with hundreds of old-style British sweet jars, creating a vivid display of classic confectionery retail. The glass jars, typically used for penny sweets and loose confectionery, evoke memories of independent sweet shops that were once common on British high streets.
The scene reflects a pre-digital retail experience, where sweets were weighed by hand using mechanical or analogue scales, rather than pre-packaged for self-service. Such displays are strongly associated with childhood nostalgia, heritage shopping, and the enduring appeal of traditional British confectionery.
The image is well suited for editorial and commercial use illustrating nostalgia, retail heritage, food culture, British high street history, and consumer traditions, as well as themes around craft retail, independent shops, and retro design

Three is the first odd prime number, and the second smallest prime. It is both the first Fermat prime (22n + 1) and the first Mersenne prime (2n \u2212 1), the only number that is both, as well as the first lucky prime. However, it is the second Sophie Germain prime, the second Mersenne prime exponent, the second factorial prime (2! + 1), the second Lucas prime, the second Stern prime.
A natural number is divisible by three if the sum of its digits in base 10 is divisible by 3. For example, the number 21 is divisible by three (3 times 7) and the sum of its digits is 2 + 1 = 3. Because of this, the reverse of any number that is divisible by three (or indeed, any permutation of its digits) is also divisible by three. For instance, 1368 and its reverse 8631 are both divisible by three (and so are 1386, 3168, 3186, 3618, etc..). See also Divisibility rule. This works in base 10 and in any positional numeral system whose base divided by three leaves a remainder of one (bases 4, 7, 10, etc.).
Humans perceive white light as the mixture of the three additive primary hues: red, green, and blue.
The rule of thirds is a 'rule of thumb' or guideline which applies to the process of composing visual images such as paintings, photographs and designs. The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.[2] Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would.

The Secret Machines are a three-piece American alternative rock band. Originally from Dallas, Texas before moving to New York City, they describe their band as space rock. The original lineup consisted of two brothers, Brandon and Benjamin Curtis, and Josh Garza. In March 2007, Benjamin left the band, and was replaced by Phil Karnats.
In 2004, The Secret Machines released their first full length CD - Now Here Is Nowhere. Their second EP, The Road Leads Where It's Led, was released on 7 June 2005. The song 'Nowhere Again', from the their debut album, was used in promotional spots for American during its launch, and appeared in the 2006 videogame Driver: Parallel Lines.
Ten Silver Drops, their second album, leaked onto file sharing websites following the release of this excellent single 'Alone, Jealous and Stoned' in the UK. The album once again did not sell well but saw some favorable reviews. Benjamin Curtis left the band on March 3, 2007 to focus full time on his new band, School of Seven Bells.
The Secret Machines have three tracks on the soundtrack for the 2007 film Across the Universe, which highlights the music of the Beatles, set to the story of a handful of characters living out the songs. They perform 'I Am the Walrus' with Bono singing
an instrumental, 'Flying' and 'Blue Jay Way' in their notable style.

If you have not seen them before, 'Love Hearts' are a type of confectionery manufactured by Swizzels Matlow in the UK. They are hard, fizzy, tablet-shaped sweets in a variety of fruit flavours featuring a short, love-related message on one side of the sweet.
Love Hearts currently come in six flavours, each associated with a colour.
1.White (a plain, sherbet-like, slightly tart vanilla flavour - Weakest Flavour)
2.Yellow (a sherbet-like flavour with a distinct sharp lemon aftertaste)
3.Orange (a sweet flavour with a slight orange aftertaste)
4.Green (a slightly lime flavour with a sherbet-like aftertaste)
5.Purple (an unusual, slightly perfumed berry-like flavour with a strong aftertaste)
6.Red (cherry flavour - Strongest)
Sample messages include:
Be My Love, Just Me, Hug Me, Bye Bye, Dream Girl, Dream Boy, Cutie Pie, New Love, Call Me, Nice Girl, Hi Buddy, Love You, U Rock, Its Love, Tease Me, I Love You.
Lately you can also sometimes find 'Luv U 24/7', 'Email Me' and 'Page Me', bringing them into the 21st century.
Production of Love Hearts began in 1933 with the formation of Swizzels Ltd., initially in factory premises at Star Lane, Canning Town, London, moving later that year to the larger premises at Drivers Avenue, Plaistow, London. During the Blitz in 1940 production relocated to a disused textile mill in New Mills, Derbyshire, England, UK where it has stayed to this day.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
As we arrive at the end of another year, its fair to ask if we have more love in the world now, than we had this time 365 days ago. Some dictators have gone from this world or dissapeared from view and some new ones are exerting their will. Please make it your business to spread some love this year.
Best wishes for 2012 for you, your family and photography. I look forward to seeing everyones new creations.
My final post this year is this one from the late and missed man who spread Jamaican music, much love and the Rastafari movement to the world. He left us in 1981, hopefully we got more love around the world than 30 years ago. Something to consider when you toast in the New Year.
'Could You Be Loved' is a song by Bob Marley &
The Wailers. It was released in 1980 on their last album Uprising and is included on Bob Marley &
The Wailers greatest hits album Legend. It was written in 1979 on an airplane while The Wailers were experimenting on guitar.
In the middle of the song, background singers quote a verse from Bob Marley's first single Judge Not: 'The road of life is rocky
And you may stumble too. So while you point a finger, someone else is judging you'
Some of The Wailers most notable songs were recorded with Lee 'Scratch' Perry and his studio band The Upsetters. During the early 1970s The Upsetters members Aston 'Family Man' Barrett and his brother Carlton (Carlie) Barrett, formed the Wailers Band, providing instrumental backing for The Wailers.
The Wailers recorded groundbreaking reggae songs such as 'Simmer Down', 'Trenchtown Rock', 'Nice Time', 'War', 'Stir It Up' and 'Get Up, Stand Up'.
The Wailers disbanded in 1974 due to Tosh and Livingston's refusal to tour. Bob Marley formed Bob Marley &
The Wailers with Bob Marley himself as guitarist, songwriter and main singer, the Wailers Band as the backing band, and the I Threes as backup vocalists.
The Wailers Band included the brothers Carlton Barrett and 'Family Man' Barrett on drums and bass respectively, Junior Marvin and Al Anderson playing lead guitar, Tyrone Downie and Earl 'Wya' Lindo playing keyboard, and Alvin 'Seeco' Patterson playing percussion. The I Threes, consisted of Bob Marley's wife Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt and Marcia Griffiths.
Bob Marley &
The Wailers, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer all enjoyed considerable success as reggae music continued to gain popularity during the 1970s and 1980s.
Several of the group's members have died subsequent to Marley's death in 1981: Carlton Barrett and Tosh in 1987, Braithwaite in 1999, and Smith in 2008. Bunny Wailer and Beverley Kelso are the only surviving members of the group's original line-up.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4328233789 - 'The biggest jar of these I have ever seen that you can buy without being accompained by an adult. It has been slowley being dipped into by people in the office now for about two months.
However the lack of an official 'Jelly Belly' trademark or logo on this jar (or indeed Mr jelly Belly as mascot) leads me to believe that these are in fact imposter beans (possibly come by way of ebay and Hong Kong). Let the buyer beware.
If you are new to this type of candy, concept is that there are about 50 flavours and a few specials. These can be mixed together in the mouth to replicate the experience of a cocktail. EG Coconut and Watermelon.
Ronald Reagan was a big fan of them apparently and had a jar of them on his desk in the White House and on Air Force One next to the big red button labelled 'Nuke'. Through perserverance he also made them the first jelly beans in outer space, sending them on the 1983 Challenger shuttle for the astronauts. You would have thought Mars and Milky Way bars would be most appropriate. The jelly beans were proven at low gravity, hence got the gig.
In recent years the high sugar content of the original beans has been offset by the introduction of a range of 'Sport' and 'Extreme Sport' beans. These contain vitamines, electrolytes(?) and the latter caffeine. All safe for our vege' breatheren and 100% Kosher.
Now for some candy from Sheffield - www.flickr.com/photos/hotpixuk/3915943695/

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFMK1A - Thomas Tunnock was born in Uddingston,near Glasgow, Scotland
His family go back several generations in the parish. His father John Tunnock was a joiner and coffin maker and had an advertisement on the main road into Uddingston. It read Why live a miserable life when for 30 bob you can be buried comfortably
Thomas married 21 year old dairymaid Mary Mitchell. They lived in the family home in Fairview Place Uddingston.
1912 Thomas had built a new bakery at Loanhead Mansions in the main street.
1924 Archie opened a larger tearoom above the shop. The bakers shop and tearoom are still there today.
Boyd Tunnock, Archie's younger son was given the task of developing a new product. Boyd did a lot of market research and further developed the idea of using Italian meringue. He made a biscuit base, hand piped the mallow onto the base and covered in milk chocolate. The Teacake made its first appearance in 1956.
