Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GY002A - St Wilfrid's Church is in Church Lane, Grappenhall, a village in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth
The church is Norman in origin, built probably in the earlier part of the 12th century and completed about 1120. This was a small and simple church, consisting of a nave, chancel and, possibly, an apse.[3] The foundations of this church were discovered during the 187374 restoration.[4]
A chantry chapel was added by the Boydell family in 1334 in a position where the south aisle now stands. From 1529 the church was largely rebuilt in local sandstone. The old church was demolished and a new nave, chancel, north aisle and a west tower were built. In 1539 the south aisle was added, which incorporated the Boydell chapel.
The south porch was added in 1641 and at this time the west wall was strengthened. In 1833 the roof of the nave was raised to form a clerestory and in the 1850s the south aisle was further extended, and a vestry was built. There was a more substantial restoration in 187374 by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, which included the provision of new floors and roofs, at a cost of about £4,000

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GGWH4B - Liverpool Town Hall stands in High Street at its junction with Dale Street, Castle Street, and Water Street in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and described in the list as one of the finest surviving 18th-century town halls. The authors of the Buildings of England series refer to its magnificent scale, and consider it to be probably the grandest ...suite of civic rooms in the country, and an outstanding and complete example of late Georgian decoration.
It is not an administrative building but a civic suite, Lord Mayor's parlour and Council chamber
local government administration is centred at the nearby Municipal Buildings. The town hall was built between 1749 and 1754 to a design by John Wood the Elder replacing an earlier town hall nearby. An extension to the north designed by James Wyatt was added in 1785. Following a fire in 1795 the hall was largely rebuilt and a dome designed by Wyatt was built. Minor alterations have subsequently been made. The streets surrounding its site have altered since its initiation, notably when viewed from Castle Street, the south-side, it appears as off-centre. This is because Water Street which ran to the junction with Dale Street, the west-east axis, was continuous and built up across the junction so that the Town Hall was not visible originally from that aspect. The structures were removed 150 years after this to expose the building from this position.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world's largest arts festival, with the 2012 event spanning 25 days totalling over 2,695 shows from 47 countries in 279 venues. Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, it takes place annually in Scotland's capital, in the month of August. The Fringe is a showcase for the performing arts, particularly theatre and comedy (which has seen substantial growth in recent years), although dance and music are also represented. In 2012, 36% of shows were comedy and 28% theatrical productions. Theatrical productions range from the classics of ancient Greece to William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett and contemporary works. In 2012, 1,418 shows were having their world premiere.
The Fringe is an unjuried festival \u2013 with no selection committee, and therefore any type of performance may participate. The Fringe has often showcased experimental works that might not be invited to a more conservative arts festival. In addition to ticketed, programmed events, the Festival has included a street fair, located primarily on the Royal Mile. The Festival is organized by the Festival Fringe Society, which publishes the programme, sells tickets, and offers advice to performers. Their offices are on the Royal Mile.

No, not a typical Saturday night on any British high st, but ladies from the Threesome Theatre looking sexy to attract punters like flies to their flyers advertising 'Berlin Cabaret'. It was on 20-25th August 2012 at The Space On The Mile V39 (venue 39, you are due a Deuchars now arent you??).
As the blurb says 'as our emcee takes you on a journey of decadence and ignorance, let the cabaret girls and boys entertain you in our own slice of 1930's Berlin. Threesome theatre spotlights Berlins cabaret from the day the curtain went up in 1901 to the Nazi regime tore it down. Featuring throbbing music, enticing dancing and naughty original songs.

Picky with your food? Alegies, Vegetarian? August, always a mad busy crazy time in Edinburgh, during the festival and fringe, which seems to have grown even bigger than the tattoo and festival. There's plenty of vegetable based humour here, its a broad church!.
At venue 203, The Princes Mall, just next to Waverley bridge and railway station, this show was on throughout the festival 4-25th August, as part of the free fringe.
The question raised is 'Wheres the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?' and more importantly 'Why did he pick it'?
As the blurb says:
This highly intriguing work exposes the truth. A truth in which The Mafia, Ms Muffet, David Cameron, Cabbage Beards, a talking pea,The Man from Del Monte, Assasination attempts and sports vouchers for schools are all involved.
Surrealist, Realist, Thoughtful, Funny, Free.
A reall nice bloke too!
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world's largest arts festival, with the 2012 event spanning 25 days totalling over 2,695 shows from 47 countries in 279 venues. Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, it takes place annually in Scotland's capital, in the month of August. The Fringe is a showcase for the performing arts, particularly theatre and comedy (which has seen substantial growth in recent years), although dance and music are also represented. In 2012, 36% of shows were comedy and 28% theatrical productions. Theatrical productions range from the classics of ancient Greece to William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett and contemporary works. In 2012, 1,418 shows were having their world premiere.
The Fringe is an unjuried festival \u2013 with no selection committee, and therefore any type of performance may participate. The Fringe has often showcased experimental works that might not be invited to a more conservative arts festival. In addition to ticketed, programmed events, the Festival has included a street fair, located primarily on the Royal Mile. The Festival is organized by the Festival Fringe Society, which publishes the programme, sells tickets, and offers advice to performers. Their offices are on the Royal Mile.

Call Me is a play starring Sarah Adams, Christine Clare, Laura Cope, Claire Dean, Katie McArdle and Matthew Stead which was performed at Sweet Grassmarket @ 10:10pm for 70 minutes, on most days during August 2012.
As the blurb says:
By The Slice Theatre Company Presents Call Me!
Writing and producing together for the first time, sisters Sarah Adams and Becky Adams are heading to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year with their play, dating comedy Call Me!, which received rave reviews and a sell-out run in Manchester last year.
Inspired by the likes of Victoria Wood and Dawn French, writer Sarah Adams has formed new theatre company By The Slice to produce a cringe-worthy yet affectionate romantic comedy alongside her film producer sister Becky. By The Slice invites the audience to come and rejoice with them at the ridiculousness of love and dating! What better way to get over your latest dating disaster than to be able to laugh at someone else's ludicrous misfortunes? Yet on this rollercoaster of humiliation and hilarity, we also unexpectedly find a new humility for love.
Taking all of the available Manchester cast with them, By The Slice will also be introducing some new faces as well as new-to-theatre director Dan Wilson whose credits include directing Sir Ian McKellen and Status Quo in Coronation Street, EastEnders, BBC's Land Girls and 32 Brinkburn Street, and feature film The Roundabout.
Sarah is joined in By The Slice by her sister, Producer Becky Adams. Of course initially I was introduced to Call Me! because it's my sister that has written it, but it was clear immediately how funny, engaging and close-to-the-b

An impertinent epilogue to 'The Importance Of Being Earnest' by Robin Johnson (the writer of Stitched Up).
'There are certain rules for surviving a drawing-room farce. Look over your plans for the next few days. If they are harebrained, reconsider. If a case of humourous mistaken identity arises, politely correct it before it gets out of hand. Resist the temptation to entrust any crucial task to a comic buffoon. Avoid the company of country vicars, austere aunts, village policemen and crossdressers. Do not pretend that a living person is dead or vice versa.'

Echo and Narcissus @ Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2012. From Rag and Bone Productions the Venue was theSpace on North Bridge. It was on until 18th August 2012 @ venue 36.
As the review says, 'Sometimes it is hard to tell image from reality until the illusion is shattered at the tap of a finger. Durham University\u2019s Rag &
Bone Productions use an exciting combination of physical theatre, drama and dance to bring you this dark and innovative take on a classic Greek myth. The tragic story of Echo and Narcissus follows the disastrous consequences of a man falling in love with his own reflection. Rag &
Bone successfully fuse visual spectacle with the best of storytelling to explore this tale of hurt, rejection, pride and vanity. Not to be missed!'
Narcissus, is a young man blessed with untold beauty, who spurns all amorous advances, be they from citizens, nymphs, or just about anyone who can appreciate the beauty of the perfect human form. Meanwhile, talkative forest nymph Echo is tasked by Zeus to distract his wife Hera with incredible stories while he has an affair. Hera finds out and curses Echo to be able to repeat only the ends of sentences spoken to her (hence her name, Echo).
She runs into Narcissus in a forest, he rejects her fumbled echoes and she wastes away until she is nothing but a voice. Narcissus rejects one final advance of an older man by the name of Ameinus and mocks him for his futile attempts, daring him to kill himself. Ameinus does so, but curses Narcissus beforehand, resulting in Artemis bewitching Narcissus to fall in love with the next person he sees.
As he is hunting in the woods, he stops to rest by a quiet pool in a grassy clearing and falls in love with his own reflection. At a loss, he plunges in to reach the young man but drowns. A small Narcissus flower is washed up on the shore afterwards, taking its name from him.

An LBD. A Little Black Number. They say no lady's wardrobe is complete without one. Wearing black might not make those extra pounds disappear, but you can trick the eye into believing they have. Caroline doesn't need slimming effects and is a healthy 8-10.
As a general rule though, dressing from head to toe in a single color will instantly make you look slimmer. This is because wearing one color gives you a straight vertical line to look at and doesn\u2019t emphasize any particular areas. When you wear more than one color, the eye is instantly attracted to where the break occurs, which is usually around the waist.
Black increases that slimming illusion because it does not reflect light. Other colors are affected by light, projecting reflections or casting shadows in areas where your body curves or the material bends and wrinkles. Black, on the other hand, doesn\u2019t have this effect, so any imperfections remain hidden under the clothes. In short, black is a very effective color for hiding bulges, lumps and bumps. White highlights all shadows, making bulges and lumps prominent and causing the exact opposite effect of wearing black.
Beware, the slimming effect of black is somewhat diminished if you wear shiny materials like Lycra, satin or sequins. The shine on the clothes will produce reflections and sometimes shadows, depending on the type of cloth. It\u2019s also important to remember that the slimming illusion of black only works from the back or front. If you stand sideways, the shape of your body becomes evident again

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 6488842835 - 'Bauhaus - 'Terror Couple Kill Colonel' - Play this track here.
A band that I am convinced never had the recognician they deserved.
The group consisted of Peter Murphy (vocals), Daniel Ash (guitar), Kevin Haskins (drums) and David J (bass). The band was originally Bauhaus 1919 before they dropped the numerical portion within a year of formation. With their dark and gloomy sound and image, Bauhaus are generally considered the first gothic rock group.
Bauhaus first broke up in 1983. Peter Murphy began a solo career while the other members continued as Tones on Tail and, later, Love and Rockets. Both enjoyed greater commercial success in the United States than Bauhaus had, but disappeared from the charts in their homeland. The band reunited for a 1998 tour and on a more permanent basis in 2005. The group announced plans to disband again following the release of their final album, Go Away White, in 2008.
The band started on the 4AD label and moved quickly to Beggars Banquet, who was their parent. 'Kick in the Eye' was the debut release on the label.
Bauhaus combined a number of influences including punk music, glam rock, and Krautrock\u2014even funk and dub\u2014to create a gloomy and introspective sound which appealed to many fans left disillusioned by the New Wave that arose in the wake of punk's collapse.
Their sound proved influential, inspiring or bringing attention to a whole wave of post-punk groups delving into the intense, gloomy style that would eventually come to be known as gothic rock. Its crucial elements included Peter Murphy's deep and sonorous voice, Daniel Ash's innovative guitar playing and David J's dub-influenced bass.

The library is a great place to find romance (people tell me). A place to escape into a Mills &
Boon or a Jennifer Baker who does quite a few teen romances.
'Holly and Chris have fallen desperately in love. So much so that when their feuding families try to put a stop to their romance, they stake everything on their overwhelming feelings. They decide to run away and make a new life together'....
Nice to try from the library, maybe not something that you might buy from Amazon...
Just dont be caught leaving the library with one....

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Holding hands is something we enjoy doing with our children and lovers. In some cultures, Arab countries, Africa and some parts of Asia it is done also by men and/or boys for friendship and/or a sign of respect.
The custom of men holding hands can cause discomfort in societies unused to it, as it did with Americans, when, in 2005, then Crown prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia held hands in public with then American president George W Bush.
Archaeological ruins and ancient texts show that handshaking was practiced in ancient Greece as far back as the 5th century BC
a depiction of two soldiers shaking hands can be found on part of a 5th century BC funerary stele on display in the Pergamon Museum, Berlin.
Other funerary steles like the one of the 4th century BC which depicts Thraseas and his wife Euandria handshaking (see images on the right). Some researchers have suggested the handshake may have been introduced in the Western World by Sir Walter Raleigh in service with the British Court during the late 16th century.
The handshake is thought by some to have originated as a gesture of peace by demonstrating that the hand holds no weapon.
The Beatles need no introduction, if this is your first brush with them, please email me and let me know.

Lews Castle (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal Le\u00f2dhais) is a Victorian era castle located west of the town of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland. The name Stornoway (Scottish Gaelic-'Steornabhagh') derives from 'Sjornavagr', the Old Norse for 'steering bay'. Stornoway has been settled since at least Viking times although there is archaeological evidence of Neolithic activity in the near vicinity of the town.
The Wicker Woman of Lews Castle looks extra spooky in infra-red. She has now blown down and been recently damaged after many months of gliding through the grounds.
It is a clever nod to the cult classic film 'The Wicker Man' (or the Wickerman) which was set on a fictional Summerisle, a remote Hebridean island famed for its popular and unusually abundant fruit produce. The film stars Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, and Britt Ekland. Paul Giovanni composed the soundtrack.
The story centres on the visit of Police Sergeant Howie to the isolated island of Summerisle, in search of a missing girl the locals claim never existed. Howie, a devout Christian, is appalled to find that the inhabitants of the island practise a form of Celtic paganism.
The film was shot almost entirely in the small Scottish towns of Gatehouse of Fleet, Newton Stewart, Kirkcudbright and a few scenes in the village of Creetown in Dumfries and Galloway, as well as Plockton in Ross-shire.
The Wicker Man had moderate success and won first prize in the 1974 Festival of Fantastic Films in Paris, but largely slipped into obscurity. In 1977 the American film magazine Cinefantastique devoted a commemorative issue to the film, asserting that the film is 'the Citizen Kane of horror movies' \u2013 an oft-quoted phrase attributed to this issue
A remake, starring Nicolas Cage and Ellen Burstyn and directed by Neil LaBute was released on September 1, 2006. It was a failure at the box office and today it has a significant cult following as an unintentional comedy.

I found this a very interesting book and this lady very interesting as she told me she worked in the local Job Centre.
In David Cameroons 'Big Society' we will need to get our heads around the 'Non-Cash Reward'. There certainly will be limited or zero funds to support services that used to cost money.
The policy certainly has its critics. Labour leader Ed Miliband in February 2011 said Mr Cameron was undermining his own Big Society concept through spending cuts.
Various charity figures have suggested that the scale of local authority cuts could kill off the idea before it gets going - by 'destroying' existing voluntary groups.
The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu warned at one of his Sunday sermons, that investment in public services was needed if the Big Society was to succeed.
Norman Smith, BBC Radio4 had this comment:
The difficulty, it seems, he faces in getting his Big Society message over is that voters have rather more pressing matters on their mind.
After all, at a time of job losses, pay freezes, pension hikes and public service cuts - people may take the view that creating the Big Society is not very high on their list of priorities.
Somehow Mr Cameron has to convince voters it matters as much to them as it clearly does to him.
Merseyside television producer Phil Redmond has already attacked the 'big society' idea, saying it has been 'undermined by public spending cuts'.
The Brookside and Hollyoaks creator had originally been a fan of the concept, taking charge of a project involving volunteering and cultural activities in Liverpool.
He said: 'I do remain a strong supporter of the principle behind big society, because it wasn't too long ago that the media was full of stories about Big Brother, too much red tape, surveillance society, we need to get engaged with society and so on.
'It just came at the wrong moment.'
He said there was a need to make sure there was a separation between the big society plans and the cuts.

What an interesting book this chap had as he left the library. His face could be that of modern Britain. Getting older, we expect to have more over 60's soon than ever before, we also probably will be expected to work longer for smaller pensions on the whole.
In Britain we should be the best europeans of all, we have had everyone through here, at some point or another. Romans, Vikings, Normans etc. This book is the story of who we are and where we are from - the history of Britain through war and conquest, migration and racial integration.
The Welcome Trust has given a GBP2million grant to Oxford geneticist Sir Walter Bodmer to take DNA samples from hundreds of volunteers throughout Britain and find tell-tale fragments of DNA that reveal the biological traces of successive waves of colonisers - Celts, Saxons, Vikings, etc. - in various parts of Britain. These traces in part determine our facial features. In effect, this project will produce a genetic map of our islands revealing where today's Cornish or East Anglians originally came from.
The project is unique in that it uses cutting edge technology to question our accepted notions of our history. Added to this, the series and the book will meld science, history and personal stories to investigate our linguistic history, our surnames and placenames and compare findings with the results of the Bodmer study.Face of Britain will be a launch pad to explore Britain's earliest history while investigating why we look the way we do.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BNKK50 - East Lancashire Railway is a 12.5-mile (20 km) heritage railway line in North West England which runs between Heywood, Greater Manchester and Rawtenstall in Lancashire. There are intermediate stations at Bury Bolton Street, Burrs Country Park, Summerseat and Ramsbottom, with the line crossing the border into Rossendale serving Irwell Vale and Rawtenstall. Before closure, the line terminated at Bacup.
The heritage line is now just over 12 miles (19 km) long and has a mainline connection with the national railway network at Castleton, just beyond Heywood. The ELR is planning to extend the running line to Castleton in the future.
Overview
Passenger services between Bury and Rawtenstall were withdrawn by British Rail on 3 June 1972. Coal services to Rawtenstall ended in 1980 and formal closure of the line followed in 1982. The East Lancashire Railway Trust reopened the line on 25 July 1987. The initial service operated between Bury and Ramsbottom, via Summerseat. In 1991, the service was extended northwards from Ramsbottom to reach Rawtenstall, via Irwell Vale. However, two original stations on the line, closed to passengers by BR in 1972, have not reopened, Ewood Bridge & Edenfield and Stubbins. The latter was the junction of the lines to Accrington and Rossendale although there were no platforms serving these lines.
The Day out with Thomas events made a return to the railway after a two-year absence, following fresh negotiations, having previously been unable to reach an agreement in 2009 with HIT Entertainment, the owners of the Thomas brand

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BKC2D0 - The River Weaver is a river, navigable in its lower reaches, running in a curving route anti-clockwise across west Cheshire, northern England. Improvements to the river to make it navigable were authorised in 1720 and the work, which included eleven locks, was completed in 1732. An unusual clause in the enabling Act of Parliament stipulated that profits should be given to the County of Cheshire for the improvement of roads and bridges, but the navigation was not initially profitable, and it was 1775 before the first payments were made. Trade continued to rise, and by 1845, over £500,000 had been given to the county.
The major trade was salt. The arrival of the Trent and Mersey Canal at Anderton in 1773 was detrimental to the salt trade at first, but ultimately beneficial, as salt was tipped down chutes from the canal into barges on the river navigation. Access to the river was improved in 1810 by the Weston Canal, which provided a link to Weston Point, where boats could reach the River Mersey at most states of the tide, as the water was deeper. The navigation was completely reconstructed between 1870 and 1900, with the original locks being replaced by five much larger locks, capable of handling 1000-tonne coasters. With the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal, a new lock was constructed at Weston Marsh, which gave direct access to the ship canal without having to pass through the docks at Weston Point. All water from the river entered the canal nearby, and any surplus was released into the Mersey through the Weaver sluices, which were located just upstream of the junction.

With the demise of the CAB (Citizens Advice Bureau), the local library can be the place people turn for advice. This can be for legal matters, health issues or finance.
A well stocked library can help everyone access the information they need. Books may not do the job for you, thats down to the borrower of course.
It would be interesting to see if the person this lady was taking these books out for, benifitted from them 3 weeks later when they were returned/renewed.

Your local library is a great place to check out a better way of doing your pastimes or learning a new skill.
Learning techniques to paint, draw, photograph or film help you with some inspiration. I would have loved to see some of this ladies watercolours, or see how they have improved after getting a helping hand at the local library.
Some artists are using their skills, maybe learnt in libraries to help in the fightback over cuts. Below is the start of a compelling account from 'Artists of the Resistance', a bunch of folks who clearly think libraries are worth fighting for:
Unison, a local campaign for library and public services, concerned locals, political activists from a couple of different parties and library users previously unaware and needing no encouragement to join in.
Stalls were out, petitions offered, placards home made and more familiar were all present, children and their parents were chalking a giant \u2018Save Our Libraries\u2019 on the square floor, balloons in the air, a local author, local press, students, young, pensioners, activists, library staff, union members, authors, all ages, all backgrounds assembled and we knew we had alot of work to cover faithfully the atmosphere and the passion of this event.

The local library is a place to learn more about where you live. I was not born here, ended up here more by practicality than choice.
Usually libraries have microfiche of newspapers going back many decades and can serve as archives of local history.
For a small town, commuter dormatory for Liverpool and Manchester, Warrington has its place in history. Two IRA bombs, the second claiming two childs lives left a dark shadow over the town.
The troubles in Warrington started on Thursday 25 February 1993. Three IRA terrorists broke into a Warrington gas storage depot. After planting Semtex bombs, the trio tried to escape and shot a patrolling police officer.
Most of their bombs failed to detonate, but one did blow up. Thankfully, nobody was injured. The three IRA men were arrested and Warrington believed its brush with terrorism had passed. They were wrong.
On Saturday 20 March 1993 another IRA unit took revenge on Warrington for the arrests three weeks earlier. It was the day before Mothering Sunday and stores in Bridge Street were bustling with shoppers. Two bombs, planted in waste bins, exploded within a minute of each other.
I was in Warrington that day. Luckily in Sainsburys when the bombs exploded. I visit Belfast a lot and I am pleased that the two communities can manage to agree to disagree in peace now. I regret the loss of the innocent lives of three year old Jonathan Ball and 12 year old Tim Parry, who only lived streets away from me.
I hope libraries stay open to spread the experience of this, as well as the victorian explorers who brought Egyptian mummies to the museum and the 1651 scene of the last Royalist victory of the Civil War. Our lives would be poorer for not knowing the history of the soil we tread on every day.

A cracking place for kids books and also those books of trains, ships and machines young lads always love. In my experience too, we ended up going home with the full quota of 8 books.
Books develop a childs imagination. I am convinced reading and writing is aided by having books around and having a diverse library of them on your doorstep. If you are lucky you might get a corner with Lego to fiddle with too.
Dora the Explorer is an American animated television series created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh, and Eric Weiner. Dora the Explorer became a regular series in 2000. The show can be found on the Nickelodeon cable television network.
Dora, the main character, is a young 7-year-old latin american girl who embarks on a trip in every episode in order to find something or help somebody. She asks the viewers at home to help her find new ways to reach places with the help of Map. She also teaches viewers Spanish, introducing them to short words and phrases.
Dora is available in many languages as TV series and books. In each country she pairs the native language with English. For example in Russia, the bilingualism is Russian-English. The series is called Dasha-sledopyt ('Dasha the Pathfinder'). Dasha is the children's name of Daria (Darya).

I had a long chat with this chap. His father had played football with the opposition during the war and that is why he selected this book ( Soccer at War: The Complete Record of British Football and Footballers During the Second World War) on this day.
'Soccer at War' is the compelling account of the national game during this defining moment in history. Rollin reveals how it was that football not only continued to be played and watched, but also grew in popularity and stature. He explains how, while the country fought for freedom, the sport offered morale-boosting appeal to war workers, servicemen, and civilians alike.
It tells of the hundreds of professional footballers who joined up, those who became heroes, and those who did not come back, the enthusiasts who administered the game in their spare time, and the players who turned out for thirty bob a week. The servicemen who went AWOL to play and others who hitch-hiked just to get to a game also find their place in the story, along with the record-breaking goalscoring achievements. Looking further afield to occupied Europe, 'Soccer at War' also exposes the role of football in Hitler's regime.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5743031658 - 'Auden plays in a band down in Portobello, east of Edinburgh which is a bit of a trendy up-coming neighbourhood (at least thats what the ESPC estate agents are saying). His band composes and plays material similar to Pendulum.
His musical style for the foot of the Royal Mile is more blues, Led Zeppelin, Eagles and classic rock however. He looks the part with his battered old bass.
The Tass lies on the High Street section of Edinburgh's Royal Mile, opposite the equally well known World's End. If you look at the cobbles in the High Street here you can see the outline in brass of the Netherbow Port, once the eastern gateway of the City of Edinburgh.
The Tass is named after one of Robert Burns' songs, The Silver Tassie (or 'goblet') and the Tass seeks to remember Scotland's greatest bard with a range of memorabilia relating to him. Don't worry though, this isn't overdone and it would be quite possible to enjoy the ambiance without being overwhelmed by the theme.
Much more obvious is the Tass's role as a focus for traditional and folk music, with live performances taking place most evenings. A choice of real ales and malt whiskies is on offer, and when I popped in the food looks fairly good too.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'Saints' is a cracking track by The Breeders, released as the third and final single from their 1993 album Last Splash. It was released in 1994 on 4AD/Elektra Records.
The Breeders are an American alternative rock band formed in 1988 by Kim Deal of the Pixies and Tanya Donelly of Throwing Muses. The band has experienced a number of line-up changes
the current line-up consists of Kim Deal (lead vocals and guitar), her twin sister Kelley Deal (guitar and backing vocals), Jose Medeles (drums and percussion), Mando Lopez (bass guitar) Todd the Fox (guitar) and Cheryl Lyndsey (guitar)
Kim Deal has been the band's sole continual member.
Their first album, Pod (1990), received critical acclaim but was not commercially successful. The Breeders' most successful album, 1993's Last Splash, produced the hit single 'Cannonball'. The band's fourth album, Mountain Battles, was released in 2008. The band's name is apparently gay slang for heterosexuals.
Christ Church Cathedral (or more formally, The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity) is the cathedral of the United Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough and the cathedral of the Ecclesiastical province of the United Provinces of Dublin and Cashel in the Church of Ireland. It is situated in Dublin, Ireland and is the elder of the capital city's two medi\u00e6val cathedrals, the other being St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Christ Church is officially claimed as the seat (cathedra) of both the Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic archbishops of Dublin. In practice, it has been the cathedral of only the Church of Ireland's Archbishop of Dublin, since the English Reformation. Though nominally claimed as his cathedral, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin uses St Mary's in Malborough Street in Dublin, as his pro-cathedral (acting cathedral).[2]
Christ Church Cathedral is located in the former heart of medieval Dublin, next to Wood Quay, at the end of Lord Edward Street. However a major dual carriage-way building scheme around it separated it from the original medieval street pattern which once surrounded it, with its original architectural context (at the centre of a maze of small buildings and streets) lost due to road-building and the demolition of the older residential quarter at Wood Quay. As a result the cathedral now appears dominant in isolation behind new civil offices along the quays, out of its original medieval context.
Christ Church is the only one of the three cathedrals or acting cathedrals which can be seen clearly from the River Liffey.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Mr Brownstone is a track from the album 'Appetite for Destruction' from 1987. Legend has it that Slash &
Izzy Stradlin wrote the song after lamenting their heroin habits. The line 'I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do, so the little got more and more. I just keep trying to get a little better, said a little better than before' encapsulates it all.
Mr Brownstone was GnR's first UK double A-side single, but was not released anywhere else in that form. The band was from Hollywood, Los Angeles, California originating in 1985. Led by frontman and co-founder Axl Rose (born William Bruce Rose, Jr.), the band has released six studio albums so far &
an official live album while going through numerous line-up changes. As of 2010, Rose is the only consistent member of Guns N' Roses.
The debut album, 'Appetite for Destruction', has sold in excess of 28 million copies worldwide and even if you hate rock or metal music, in my opinion you should still probably have a copy. There was a long gap between early work and the much hyped 'Chinese Democracy' album.
On March 26, 2008, 'Dr Pepper' announced a plan to give everyone in America \u2013 except the band's former guitarists Slash and Buckethead \u2013 a free can of Dr Pepper if the band released Chinese Democracy before the end of 2008. Rose added, 'As some of Buckethead's performances are on our album, I'll share my Dr Pepper with him.'
With the announcement from Guns N' Roses regarding a release date in November, Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper's Vice President of Marketing for Dr. Pepper, announced a free soda coupon campaign for 24 hours on Sunday, November 23, 2008. Due to 'heavy volume' on the server throughout the entire day it was impossible to submit for your free coupon. I cannot say I was gutted, I would rather drink 'Venos' than Dr Pepper myself!

Castlerigg Stone Circle (alt. Keswick Carles, Carles, Carsles or Castle-rig) near Keswick in England is one of the most visually impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain and is the most visited stone circle in Cumbria, England UK.
Every year, thousands of people make the short journey from Keswick to the plateau of Castlerigg Fell and to Chestnut Hill, on which the monument stands. This plateau forms the raised centre of a natural amphitheatre created by the surrounding fells and from within the circle it is possible to see some of the highest peaks in Cumbria: Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Grasmoor and Blencathra.
The stones are of a local metamorphic slate, set in a flattened circle, measuring 32.6 m (107 ft) at its widest and 29.5 m (97 ft) at its narrowest. The heaviest stone has been estimated to weigh around 16 tons and the tallest stone measures approximately 2.3m high. There is a 3.3m wide gap in its northern edge, which may have been an entrance.
Within the circle, abutting its eastern quadrant, is a roughly rectangular setting of a further 10 stones. The circle was probably constructed around 3200 BC (Late Neolithic/Early Bronze-Age), making it one of the earliest stone circles in Britain and possibly in Europe. It is important to archaeoastronomers who have noted that the sunrise during the Autumn equinox appears over the top of Threlkeld Knott, a hill 3.5 km to the east. Some stones in the circle have been aligned with the midwinter sunrise and various lunar positions.

Spizzenergi was a late 1970s English punk/new wave band led by Kenneth Spiers, known as Spizz. Championed by John Peel, The band changed its name several times using alternate names including Spizzoil and Athletico Spizz 80.
They were the first band to sign to Geoff Travis's Rough Trade Records and the first to top the newly created UK Indie Chart early in 1980. They were perhaps best known for their single 'Where's Captain Kirk?'

THE TIME WARP IN SPACE MADE A CHANGE IN ME
FOR I WAS THE CAPTAIN AND THE CAPTAIN WAS ME
After a Siouxsie and the Banshees gig at Birmingham Odeon Cinema Spizz jumped on stage and sang into the microphones, on the back of which was given a recording deal. He was already performing (solo) by 1977. He soon got together with like-minded guitarist Pete Petrol (real name Pete O'Dowd). In 1978 Palmolive, drummer with The Slits, joined what was called Spizzoil for a few gigs.

In Flanders fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place
and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch
be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'First I want a kiss, then I want it all......'
Well its been a few weeks in arriving, but seminal Scousers Echo and the Bunnymen have finally arrived on my iPod.
Echo was the name given to the bands original drum machine (in legend, although maybe not in fact), that backed up Ian McCulloch (vox), Will Sergeant (guitar) and Les Pattinson (Bass). By 1980 a permanent drummer, Pete de Freitas was installed. He was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1989.
Ian McCulloch back in 1977 was one third of the 'Crucial Three', a bedroom band which also featured Julian Cope (Teardrop Explodes) and Pete Wylie (Wah Heat).
I have the first single (from Bill Drummond and David Balfe's Zoo label) 'The Pictures On My Wall' (b-sided with 'Read It In Books') with 'The Revenge Of Voodoo Billy' scratched in the run out groove, up in my loft. Its pretty much played to death. I think I bought it at 'Probe' the original record shop that was up in what is now known as Cavern walks in Liverpool. It stocked all the indie vinyl and sold tickets to Erics, the local punk band venue. Echo &
the Bunnymen made their debut at Liverpool's Eric's Club in November 1978.
The band were influenced by the same artists as their other North West contemporaries Joy Division, The Doors and Velvet underground. Like them, they often play Doors covers live.
For the ultimate resource on the band, checkout www.villiersterrace.com , to get a feel for the band, checkout the live album 'Never Stop: Live in Liverpool'.

The RAF Search and Rescue Force (SARF or SAR Force) is the Royal Air Force organization which provides around-the-clock aeronautical search and rescue cover in the United Kingdom, Cyprus and the Falkland Islands.
Although established with a primary role of military search and rescue, most of SARF's operational missions are spent in its secondary role, conducting civil search and rescue. This entails the rescue of civilians from the sea, on mountains, from flooded regions or other locations on land.
The aeronautical search and rescue roles are complemented by the related Royal Air Force Mountain Rescue Service whose trained mountaineers also conduct search and rescue in hilly terrain. SARF helicopters and RAF mountaineers often work together on mountain rescue incidents.
The SAR Force headquarters is situated at RAF Valley on Anglesey, North Wales and this helicopter is probably from 'C Flight' based there.

Just when you thought pipes were so yesterday.....
One of my favourite tracks, good to hear it today!
'Hash Pipe' is a song by US indie rock band Weezer. Released in 2001, it was the first single off the band's long-awaited third album, Weezer (The Green Album).
The song was aparently inspired by a male transvestite prostitute known for rambling to people in Santa Monica. Weezer drummer Patrick Wilson is featured on the cover of the song's CD single holding a pack of Natural American Spirit cigarettes that has been blurred out due to copyright issues.

The new white Samuel Beckett Bridge (Irish: Droichead Samuel Beckett) is a cable-stayed bridge in Dublin that joins Sir John Rogerson's Quay on the south side of the River Liffey to Guild Street and North Wall Quay in the Docklands area.
The architect is Santiago Calatrava, a designer of a number of innovative bridges and buildings. This is the second bridge in the area designed by Calatrava, the first being the James Joyce Bridge, which is further upstream.
Constructed by a 'Graham Hollandia Joint Venture', the main span of the Samuel Beckett Bridge is supported by 31 cable stays from a doubly back-stayed single forward arc tubular tapered spar, with decking provided for four traffic and two pedestrian lanes. It is also capable of opening through an angle of 90 degrees allowing ships to pass through. This is achieved through a rotational mechanism housed in the base of the pylon.
The shape of the spar and its cables is said to evoke an image of a harp, a symbol of Ireland lying on its edge.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
This one a true trip back to 1979. This comes from one of the few albums ('The Crack') on my iPod with every track rated four or five stars. If you ever had any punky leanings, you should enjoy this. 'The Ruts' were a band that burned bright for a brief period. Imagine 'The Clash' on steriods and you will have the picture.
The Ruts were a reggae-influenced British punk rock band. You may remember them for the 1979 Top 10 hit 'Babylon's Burning'. An earlier single 'In a Rut' on the 'People Unite' record label, was not a hit but was much played and highly regarded by the UK BBC Radio 1 disc jockey, John Peel. My old black vinyl copy in a plain white sleeve, still has pride of place for me. The grooves almost totally worn down due to over playing.
They formed August 1977, the band consisted of Malcolm Owen (vox), Paul Fox (guitar), John 'Segs' Jennings (bass) and Dave Ruffy (drums and ex-record shop manager). As part of Misty in Roots People Unite collective based in Southall in west London, the band were active in anti-racist causes and played a number of benefits for Rock Against Racism.
The Ruts' first single, 'In a Rut' was finally released on People Unite in January 1979, having been recorded back on 24 April 1978 at the aforementioned Free Range 8-track studios. It was backed up with anti-heroin tirade 'H-Eyes' on the B-side ('You're so young, you take smack for fun/It's gonna screw your head, you're gonna wind up dead'). DJ John Peel expressed his admiration for the group.
Debut album The Crack was produced by Mick Glossop and released in September 1979, reaching number 16 in the UK Albums Chart. With success came tradegy.
Malcolm Owen was found dead in the bathroom of his parents' house in Hayes, from a heroin overdose on 14th July 1980 at the age of 26. Prophetically, the B-side 'H-eyes' of 'In a Rut' was a song against heroin use, and two other songs, 'Dope for Guns' from the album The Crack, plus reggae lament 'Love in Vein' ('don't want you in my arms no more') were also anti-drug songs.
A year later, The Damned wrote a song, 'The Limit Club', about their deceased friend which mentions the 'velvet claws' that Fox talked about with reference to Owen's heroin addiction. The band continued as a very watered down Ruts D.C. (D.C. standing for the Latin term Da Capo, meaning 'back to the beginning') in a different musical vein. They released two albums, Animal Now (May 1981 on Virgin) and Rhythm Collision (July 1982 on Bohemian Records. Ruts D.C. split in 1983.
In July 2007 the band reformed for the first time in 27 years, and played a special benefit gig for Fox, following his diagnosis with lung cancer. Henry Rollins stood in for Owen. They were supported by Tom Robinson, The Damned, Misty in Roots, U.K. Subs, Splodge (Splodgenessabounds), John Otway
and the Peafish House Band which featured Lee Harris, (The Blockheads), Tony Barber (Buzzcocks) and Rowland Rivron, plus Edward Tudor-Pole and T. V. Smith. many characters from the British punk era. Fox died on 21 October of the same year, at the age of 56.

------------------------
In 1970's Britain particularly, the 'Sus law' was the informal name for a stop and search law that permitted a police officer to act on suspicion, or 'sus', alone.
It was based upon Sections 4 and 6 of the Vagrancy Act 1824 which made it 'illegal for a suspected person or reputed thief to frequent or loiter in a public place with intent to commit an arrestable offence' and effectively permitted the police to stop and search and even arrest suspicious persons, purely to prevent crime.
The law caused much discontent among certain sections of the population, particularly black and ethnic minority communities, against whom the police use of the law was particularly targeted.
The sus law was abolished following race riots in St Pauls, Bristol, in 1980, and in Brixton, London, Toxteth, Liverpool, Handsworth and Chapeltown, Leeds in 1981, because its alleged abuse was believed to be a contributory factor to these events. Following Lord Scarman's inquiry into the cause of the Brixton riots, the sus law was dropped. Apart from The Ruts, a number of 1970's bands, including Linton Kwesi Johnson (aka LKJ) wrote songs or included references to it.
Fortunately we live now in slightly more enlightened times. An improving ethnic and cultural mix is encouraged in our police force.

'Some Cities' is Doves 3rd album and is the closest you will find to a Manchester concept album (see also Barry Adamsons Moss Side Story...). This single 'Black and White Town' peaked at number 6 on the UK Singles Chart.
The brothers Williams had spend a couple of decades in the music business, playing in bands and mixing with the Ha\u00e7ienda crowd. After meeting at The Ha\u00e7ienda in 1989, the Williams brothers and Jimi Goodwin formed Sub Sub, releasing their first single 'Space Face' in 1991, and then in 1993 they released 'Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use),' which reached #3 in the UK Singles Chart.
On the Williams twins' birthday in February 1996, the band's Ancoats studio caught fire and burned down, leading the band members to abandon their previous dance-oriented style and start afresh as alternative rock band Doves in 1998.
The band released three EPs in 1998 and 1999 on Casino Records, a subsidiary of Rob Gretton's Rob's Records. debut album Lost Souls in April 2000 was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, which they lost to fellow Mancunian and former collaborator 'Badly Drawn Boy'.
I have seen Doves a few times and I would recommend a look at the 'The Places Between: The Best of Doves' as a starting point if you like what you have heard here.

Manchester is a city of nudging half a million people in the northwest of England. Its textile heritage still leads to textiles in some places, such as Oz as 'Manchester'. It gained the title of 'the world's first industrialised city'.
As the result of an early-19th century factory building boom, Manchester was transformed from a township into a major mill town, borough and was later granted honorific city status in 1853. It is the third-most visited city in the United Kingdom by foreign visitors and the most visited in England outside London.
Manchester was the host of the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and among its other sporting connections are its two Premier League football teams, Manchester United and Manchester City (who now play in the Eastlads stadium).

Following early line-ups with different guitarists and drummers, Liam 'Skin' Tyson (guitar) and Keith O'Neill (drums) joined Cast in 1993.
Emerging from the Britpop movement of the mid-1990s, Cast signed to Polydor Records and their debut album All Change (1995) became the highest selling album for the label. Further commercial success continued with the albums Mother Nature Calls (1997) and Magic Hour (1999), however the band's fourth album Beetroot (2001) was far less successful which led to the band's split soon after.
Cast are set to reunite for a UK tour in November 2010, although I haven't got a ticket yet. The last time I saw them was at a V festival in warrington on a bill with Pulp and the excellent Elastica.
The 1995 album 'All Change' is probably the one to track down if you fancy hearing some more of this stuff.

Melrose Abbey is a Gothic-style abbey in Melrose, Scotland. It was founded in 1136 by Cistercian monks, on the request of King David I of Scotland. It was headed by the Abbot or Commendator of Melrose. Today the abbey is maintained by Historic Scotland (open all year
entrance charge). The ruins of Melrose are widely considered among the most beautiful of religious houses in the United Kingdom, being especially notable for a wealth of well-preserved figure-sculpture, and its architecture is considered to be some of the finest in Scotland.
The east end of the abbey was completed in 1146. Other buildings in the complex were added over the next 50 years. The abbey was built in the form of a St. John's cross. A considerable portion of the abbey is now in ruins, though a structure dating from 1590 is maintained as a museum open to the public.
Alexander II and other Scottish kings and nobles are buried at the abbey. The embalmed heart of Robert the Bruce is also said to rest on the abbey's grounds, while the rest of his body is buried in Dunfermline Abbey. In 1812, a stone coffin that some speculated was that of Michael Scot the philosopher and 'wizard', was found in an aisle in the abbey's south chancel.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5167325589 - 'Adolescent sex - 'Japan' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
An ipod track that I ripped from a red vinyl single from my loft. Japan came out of Catford, South London. They were often associated with the 'New Romantic' movement, but the band were far more sophisticated than this narrow definition.
Band members David Sylvian (Vox), Richard Barbieri (Keyboards), Mick Karn (Bass), Sylvian's brother Steve Jansen (percussion). Later Rob Dean joined playing guitar.
The band debuted on record with the 1978 album 'Adolescent Sex' from which this track was taken. It was followed up with 'Obscure Alternatives'. Both albums sold well in Japan (where the band's name helped them to gain a devoted cult following) and Holland, where the single 'Adolescent Sex' was a Top 30 hit. They also gained some popularity in Canada. Unfortunately in their native UK those albums were largely ignored.
Though influenced by artists such as the New York Dolls, Roxy Music and David Bowie, both albums were widely dismissed by the UK music press as being distinctly outmoded at a time when punk and New Wave bands were in ascendence. The band were managed by Simon Napier-Bell who has also managed The Yardbirds, Marc Bolan, London and Wham!. Check out www.simonnapierbell.com for a quick tour of his world or his book 'Black Vinyl, White Powder' a recommended rollercoaster ride through the most interesting 20 years of UK music.
1979's Quiet Life, heralded a significant change towards a more electronic sound. Their final two studio albums, Gentlemen Take Polaroids (1980) and Tin Drum (1981), were released on the Virgin label, and continued to expand their audience as the band refined its new sound and, somewhat unintentionally, became associated with the early-1980s New Romantic movement. Tin Drum in particular is critically regarded as one of the most innovative albums of the 1980s, with its startlingly original fusion of occidental and oriental sounds, and peaked just outside the UK Top 10. Its unconventional single 'Ghosts' reached no 5 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Japan's biggest domestic hit.
Japan's last ever performance was on 16 December 1982 in Nagoya, Japan. The band's final Hammersmith concerts were recorded to produce Oil On Canvas, a live album and video released in June 1983. This is a good starting point if you woul dlike to get to know the band. Tell 'em I sent you!
------------------------
To avoid controversy over the title, the album was renamed 'Japan' in some countries' Any controversy in this image should be rooted in the mind of the beholder.

?Whats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
A great summer track for a Saturday with the sun flooding through my front window.
This is the eleventh track on the compilation 'Melting Pot'. I pass the cafe on the cover of this album most lunchtimes when I go into Northwich. It looks slightly different now after a recent paint &
decoration job. A few years ago I had the pleasure of having some of my framed live shots on the walls there.
The band consists of Northwich lad Tim Burgess (vox), Mark Collins (guitar), Martin Blunt (bass), Tony Rogers (keyboards) and Jon Brookes (drums and percussion). Northwich is the home of the band's own original 'Dead Dead Good Records' label and have inspired many local musicians.
the Charlatans are back in the studio to work on their eleventh album planned for release in August 2010. This also coincides with twentieth anniversary of the band's debut album, Some Friendly. The album is due for re-issue with bonus material, and an extensive UK tour for both the re-issue and new album launch is due to take place to support these releases.
If you have not heard them before, checkout 'Melting Pot' to be rewarded :-)

?Whats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
This is a track I first heard on Tommy Vance's friday night rock show on BBC radio one. I rediscovered it many years later when a friend lent me 'Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus'. Spirit were a LA band from the late 1960's.
The original lineup of the group evolved from an earlier Los Angeles band, The Red Roosters, which included Randy California (guitars, vocals), Mark Andes (bass) and Jay Ferguson (vocals, percussion). With the addition of Ed Cassidy (drums) and keyboard player John Locke the new band was originally named the Spirits Rebellious (after a book by Khalil Gibran) but was soon shortened simply to Spirit. Randy California had also played with Jimi Hendrix (then known as Jimmy James) in Jimmy James and the Blue Flames in 1966.
In 1968 they toured with support band Led Zeppelin, who were heavily influenced by Spirit. Led Zeppelin played an extended medley during their early 1969 shows that featured 'Fresh Garbage' among other songs, Jimmy Page's use of a theremin has been attributed to his seeing Randy California use one which he had mounted to his amplifier, and it is now widely accepted that Page lifted the descending guitar figure from Spirit's instrumental 'Taurus' for Led Zeppelin's signature tune 'Stairway To Heaven'.
Mr Skin, a track about pornography (or maybe just Ed Cassidy, drummer of Spirit) has a great saxaphone solo in it, worth a listen just for that.

Todays first track up on my Ipod shuffle was this one. Its is the first in my new set that hopefully will marry up some of my listening habits with some of my photographic ones!
I dont have chance to 'shuffle' every day, so unfortunately it wont be one a day, but do keep up if you can!
Salford Northern Soul club night DJ Ian Brown and animator John Squire were the hub of this band. A bit of a soundtrack to my own Madchester days back in the late 1980's. Blimey I must have spent a fortune in Aflecks Palace on dodgy Harris Tweed Jackets (check the Orb) and silk ties.
The brilliant first seminal album and the wrangling later with the Silvertone label is legendary. The Second Coming was good, but those four years delay took their toll. Ian Brown, now into his 10th solo album has gone on to better things including the 'Q Awards Legend Award' in 2007.
His 2001 track 'Fear' is one of my favourites. Apparently inspired by Malcolm X and his preaching of 'control through language', each line contains an acronym from the word 'fear'. EG 'Fallen empires are ruling'. Grab a listen here.

I had just been to the sweetshop over the road when I noticed all the bind weed growing up over the metal railings. I took a few shots with an infra red Hoya R72 filter over my lens to show up all the summer foilage. The noise that IR causes in the sensor provides a lot of grain like texture, much like the now discontinued Kodak HIE 35mm spy film.
Certain infrared-sensitive films like Kodak HIE must only be loaded and unloaded in total darkness[11]. Infrared black-and-white films require special development times but development is usually achieved with standard black-and-white film developers and chemicals (like D-76). Kodak HIE film has a polyester film base that is very stable but extremely easy to scratch, therefore special care must be used in the handling of Kodak HIE throughout the development and printing/scanning process to avoid damage to the film.
As of November 2, 2007, 'Kodak preannouncing the discontinuance' of HIE Infrared 35 mm film stating the reasons that, 'Demand for these products has been declining significantly in recent years, and it is no longer practical to continue to manufacture given the low volume, the age of the product formulations and the complexity of the processes involved.' At the time of this notice, HIE Infrared 135-36 was available at a price of about \u00a37 a roll at places where it could still be obtained. What a shame :-(
This is an approximation of what these houses looked like in the january cold snap earlier this year. Obviously without their distinctive red and yellow doors!

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4772241526 - 'While editing this image of TonyD taken in Warrington I was listening to an ipod playlist of Curtis Mayfield and Isaac Hayes tracks from the blaxploitation years of the 70's.
Hayes was singer-songwriter, actor, and musician and one of the main creative forces behind southern soul music label Stax Records. There he served as both an in-house songwriter and producer with partner David Porter during the mid-1960s.
In the late 1960s, Hayes became a recording artist, and recorded successful soul albums such as Hot Buttered Soul (1969) and Black Moses (1971). He was also the Stax label's premier artist. In addition to his work in pop music, Hayes was a film score composer for motion pictures. His best known work, for the 1971 soul cinema classic film Shaft, earned Hayes an Academy Award for Best Original Song (the first Academy Award received by an African-American in a non-acting category) and two Grammy Awards. He received a third Grammy for the album Black Moses.
Super Fly is the third studio album by American soul and funk musician Curtis Mayfield, released in July 1972 on Curtom Records. It was released as the soundtrack for the blaxploitation film of the same name. Widely considered a classic of 1970s soul and funk music, Super Fly was a nearly immediate hit. Its sales were bolstered by two million-selling singles, 'Freddie's Dead' and the title track. Pusherman is the third killer track on the disk. Super Fly is one of the few soundtracks to out-gross the film it accompanied.
In 1997, Rhino Records released a 25th Anniversary collection of the Super Fly album with a bonus disc of demo versions of songs, radio spots and interviews.
Isaac Hayes died of a stroke in August 2008, aged nearly 66.
He will probably be best remembered when during the late 1990s, Hayes gained new popularity as the voice of Chef animated TV series South Park. Chef was a soul-singing cafeteria worker at the South Park kids' school. A song from the series performed by Chef, 'Chocolate Salty Balls (P.S. I Love You)', received international radio airplay in 1999. It reached number-one on the UK singles chart. The track also appeared on the album Chef Aid: The South Park Album in 1998.
He left the show however in a row about the South Park episode 'Trapped in the Closet'. This was a satire of Scientology which aired in Nov 2005. In a response the South Park authors stated
'He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin.'
The South Park season 10 premiere (aired March 22, 2006) featured 'The Return of Chef', a thinly veiled telling of the affair from Parker and Stone's point of view. Using sound clips from past episodes, it depicts Chef as having been brainwashed and urges viewers (via Kyle talking to the town) to 'remember Chef as the jolly old guy who always broke into song' and not to blame Chef for his defection, but rather, as Kyle stated, 'be mad at that fruity little club for scrambling his brains.'
During the spring of 2008 before his death, Hayes shot scenes for a comedy about soul musicians inspired by the history of Stax Records entitled Soul Men, in which he appears as himself in a supporting role. His voice can be heard in the film in a voice-over role as Samuel L. Jackson, Bernie Mac, and Sharon Leal's characters are traveling through Memphis.
Two months after his death, the South Park episode 'The China Probrem' was dedicated to him.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4778116608 - 'Simon Jenkins in his book 'England''s Thousand Best Churches' awards St Wulframs church in Grantham a five star rating, in part for the tower and spire. 'Here is the finest steeple in England', he writes. Constructed in the early 1300s, at 282 ft. the spire is one of the highest in the country on a parish church, dominating the views of the town. The church is built of Lincolnshire limestone, probably from around the Ancaster area.
It has to be said that Grantham is a place with a single real claim to fame. Much like Liverpool was the birthplace of the 1960's icons 'The fab Four', Grantham was birthplace of the scurge of the 1980's 'The Iron Lady'. Heady times. In the UK one of 3 million unemployed, Militant Tendancy (I often drank in the same Liverpool pub as Derek Hatton), pit towns desimated and Arthur Scargil. When he said that over 20,000 mining jobs would go they called him mad. He wasn't mad enough, the final figure was over twice that. However, dont get me on that subject....
But if you pass through this way, this church should be worth a visit. Check out its stunning spire and try to find its hippopotamus head. The church is dedicated to St Wulfram, a 7th century missionary born in about 650 AD near Fontainebleau, south of Paris. A quite popular saint of the time.
He was the son of a Frankish soldier but instead of following in his father''s footsteps, he took Holy Orders. He was Archbishop of Sens in 693. In 700 he became a missionary to the pagan Frisians in what is now northern Germany. He died in 720 and was canonised after numerous miracles had been attributed to him. There is a large collegiate church dedicated to him at Abbeville in northern France .
In pre-Reformation times this church contained a shrine of St. Wulfram. The reliquary was probably housed in the Crypt and at times in the upper chamber of the North Porch. The medieval font c1496 is surmounted by a tall and elaborate fixed cover of 1899 designed by Sir Walter Tapper. Inside the cover are three carved figures depicting Edward the Confessor, St Hugh of Lincoln and St Wulfram.
The Francis Trigge Chained Library is a great treasure of the church, established in 1598 when Reverend Francis Trigge, Rector of Welbourn, gave \u00a3100 for the purchase of books to set up the library. There are 356 separate items including a book printed in Venice in 1472, that is four years before Caxton introduced printing into England. Over 80 volumes are still attached by chain to the shelves, preventing their loan or theft. Unfortunately I missed this on my visit.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4714928394 - 'The Celtic cross is a symbol that combines a cross with a ring surrounding the intersection.
In the Celtic Christian world it was combined with the Christian cross and this design was often used for high crosses. These are free-standing crosses made of stone and often richly decorated.
With the Celtic Revival, the shape, usually decorated with interlace and other motifs from Insular art, became popular for funerary monuments and other uses, and has remained so, spreading well beyond the British Isles.
It is popular in Cornwall where an individual feeling of ancient culture lives on, as can be seen in the Barnoon cemetary here, which overlooks the St Ives surfing beach of Porthmeor.
In Celtic regions of Ireland and later in Great Britain, many free-standing upright crosses or high crosses were erected by Irish monks, beginning at least as early as the 7th century. Some of these 'Celtic' crosses bear inscriptions in runes. There are surviving free-standing crosses in Cornwall (famously St Piran's cross at Perranporth) and Wales, on the island of Iona and in the Hebrides, as well as the many in Ireland. Other stone crosses are found in the former Northumbria and Scotland, and further south in England.
Due to its simplicity as a symboil, in Germany, the Celtic cross was adopted by a prohibited neo-Nazi party (VSBD/PdA) leading to the ban of the symbol.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4760947103 - 'The Sleeping Beauty Novels by Anne Rice (writing as A. N. Roquelaure). Best known for her gothic vampire stories and later religious-themed works, Rice is also the creator of a trilogy centered on Sleeping Beauty -- The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty
Beauty's Punishment
and, Beauty's Release.
Rice puts a strong emphasis on human desire and Beauty\u2019s sexual awakening with these erotic, sometimes sadomasochistic, stories.
The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty (1983), Beauty's Punishment (1984), and Beauty's Release (1985) are erotic novels by Anne Rice writing under the pseudonym of A. N. Roquelaure. The trilogy was a bestseller, outearning Interview with the Vampire.
They are lengthy BDSM novels, reminiscent of Story of O, set in a medieval fantasy world based very loosely on the legend of Sleeping Beauty. The novels contain both maledom and femdom scenarios, as well as vivid imageries of bisexuality, ephebophilia and bestiality.
In this alternative racy adult orientated tale, Beauty is awakened from her hundred-year sleep by the Prince, not with a simple kiss, but with a deflowering, initiating her into a Satyricon-like world of sexual adventures. After stripping her naked he takes her to his kingdom, ruled by his mother, the Queen.
There Beauty is trained as a slave and a plaything. The rest of the naked slaves, dozens of them, in the Queen's palace are princes and princesses sent by their royal parents from the surrounding kingdoms as tributes. In this palace they spend several years learning to become obedient and submissive sexual property, accepting being spanked, being publicly displayed, crawling around on their hands and knees, servicing their masters and mistresses, until they return to their own lands 'being enhanced in wisdom'.
In the palace Beauty meets another slave, Prince Alexi, with whom she copulates passionately. After that he tells her the long adventurous journey he had in the palace. Alexi previously had been a stubborn prince who fought back all the attempts to break him, until the Queen sent him to the kitchen to get him tortured by crude kitchen servants.
The punishment Alexi received there was so savage and merciless he began to lose his senses and, after some particularly humiliating training at the hands of a strong stable boy, Alexi became a totally surrendered slave, playing various sexual games at the Queen's commands.
The moral of Alexi's story notwithstanding, Beauty fails to become an obedient plaything, and the book closes with her being sentenced to brutal slavery in the neighboring village along with other failed slaves.
So the moral of all this: 'Dont waste your life waiting for your prince to come'.

Grand Theft Auto is referred to a number of times in defence of various crimes in the UK and the States. In February 2003, 16-year-old American Dustin Lynch was charged with aggravated murder and made an insanity defense that he was 'obsessed' with Grand Theft Auto III.
On June 25, 2003, two American step brothers, Joshua and William Buckner, aged 14 and 16, respectively, used a rifle to fire at vehicles on Interstate 40 in Tennessee, killing a 45-year-old man and wounding a 19-year-old woman. The two shooters told investigators they had been inspired by Grand Theft Auto III. they were all found guilty.
In September 2007 in Ohio, 16-year-old Daniel Petric snuck out of his bedroom window to purchase the game Halo 3 against the orders of his father, a minister at New Life Assembly of God in Wellington, Ohio, U.S.
His parents eventually banned him from the game after he spent up to 18 hours a day with it, and secured it in a lockbox in a closet where the father also kept a 9mm handgun, according to prosecutors. In October 2007, Daniel used his father's key to open the lockbox and remove the gun and the game. He then entered the living room of his house and shot both of them in the head, killing his mother and wounding his father.
Petric is sentenced to life in prison without parole, which was later commuted to 23 years in imprisonment. While defense attorneys argued that Petric was influenced by video game addiction, the court fully dismissed these claims.
Surveys and research are pretty thin on the ground however if you trawl the internet. Many that can be found are short term or limited in scope. In the meantime, the games industry continues to grow, overtaking music sales in some countries.

Cairo Street Chapel is the second oldest surviving place of worship in Warrington and is tucked away just away from the modern shopping area. It holds a lot of history of the town in many of the characters connected with it.
Robert Yates was the founder, ejected from the Church of England in 1662, he obtained a licence for public worship. In 1689, religious dissent was permitted by the Act of Toleration. This Act enabled Dissenters to build their own places of worship and in 1703, following the raising of sufficient money through subscriptions, a chapel was built on land behind Randle Myddleton\u2019s Smithy in Sankey Street. This is now Cairo Street.
A deed signed between Dr. Charles Owen Minister of the Chapel and the Earl of Warrington refers to a \u201clate erected building or meeting place\u201d.
It was during the ministry of Dr. Owen in 1745 that the present larger chapel was built.
Dr. Owen was the minister of the chapel for fifty years from 1696 to 1746 and it was he who lead consolidation and growth of the chapel.
In 1863 the chapel was extensively repaired, the old gallery was taken down and the interior re-seated to make it look much as it does in this photograph.
The Revd. John Seddon followed Charles Owen in the Ministry at Cairo Street Chapel or Sankey Street Chapel as it was then known. The son of a dissenting Minister born in Hereford and educated at Caleb Rotherham\u2019s Academy in Kendal, he campaigned and fundraised tirelessly for the establishment in 1757 of The Warrington Academy.
He was a lecturer at the Academy, its Secretary and Minister of the Chapel. Active in many spheres of dissenting and town life, John Seddon was the first President of The Warrington Public Library.
Another famous member of the chapel was Frederick Monks 1834-1912, an entrepreneur and industrialist, his enlightened treatment of his workforce was influenced by the ethical preaching of Pearsall Carpenter. The high esteem in which he was held is testified by the 2ft high clock of solid
brass open work on a marble stand. On it are inscribed the words \u201cpresented to Mr. F. Monks of the Wire Department of the White Cross
Wire and Iron Co. Ltd. as a token of respect on his retirement from active management in connection with the company in July 1874\u201d. Frederick
Monks presented the Golden Gates to Warrington where they currently stand outside the Town Hall.
Joseph Priestley. Scientist, Minister and Thinker (1733-1804) is perhaps the best known individual associated with the Academy. He is now more known as a great scientist but as a lecturer he introduced the subjects of chemistry, anatomy and civic responsibility to the curriculum of the academy. He was however primarily a Minister and was ordained at Warrington. His belief that Jesus was an ethical teacher and not a God influenced greatly the development of Unitarianism.
A supporter of the French Revolution and a campaigner against slavery he left England after his home and chapel in Birmingham were burnt by a mob. After leaving England and settling in America in 1794, he established the first American Unitarian Church in Philadelphia.

Bentley Motors Limited is a British manufacturer of automobiles founded on my birthday, 18th January 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley (known as W.O. Bentley or just 'W.O.').
Bentley had been previously known for his range of rotary aero-engines in World War I, the most famous being the Bentley BR1 as used in later versions of the Sopwith Camel. Since 1998, the company has been owned by the Volkswagen Group of Germany and is located in Crewe, south Cheshire.
Before World War I, W.O. Bentley had been in partnership with his brother H.M. Bentley selling French DFP cars, but he had always wanted to design and build his own range of cars bearing his name. In August 1919, Bentley Motors Ltd. was registered, and a chassis with dummy engine was exhibited at the London Motor Show in October of that year.
It was on a visit to the DFP factory in 1913 that W.O. noticed an aluminium paperweight, and had the inspired idea of using the lightweight metal instead of cast iron to make engine pistons. The first Bentley aluminium pistons went into service in aero engines for the Sopwith Camel during the Great War.
A group of wealthy British motorists known as the 'Bentley Boys' (Woolf Barnato, Sir Henry Birkin, steeplechaser George Duller, aviator Glen Kidston, automotive journalist S.C.H. 'Sammy' Davis, and Dr. Dudley Benjafield among them) kept the marque's reputation for high performance alive. Thanks to the dedication to serious racing of this group, the company, located at Cricklewood, north London, was noted for its four consecutive victories at the 24 hours of Le Mans from 1927 to 1930. Their greatest competitor at the time, Bugatti\u2014whose lightweight, elegant, but fragile creations contrasted with the Bentley's rugged reliability and durability\u2014referred to them as 'the world's fastest lorries'.
The one pictured here looks like a 1929 model, possibly 3-6 litre engine.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4653594686 - 'This is an image taken in the first floor historic reading room of the Manchester University John Rylands library. This serves as the special Collections section of the John Rylands University Library (JRUL). It is a remarkable victorian gothic building right in the heart of the city's shopping district Deansgate.
The library, which opened to the public in 1900, was founded by Mrs Enriqueta Augustina Rylands in memory of her late husband, John Rylands. The collections include medieval illuminated manuscripts, examples of the earliest forms of European printing, including the Gutenberg Bible, and the personal papers of notable local figures such as Elizabeth Gaskell and chemist John Dalton.
Enriqueta Rylands purchased a site on Deansgate, at the heart of Manchester city centre, in 1889 for her planned memorial library and commissioned a design from architect Basil Champneys. Mrs Rylands had originally intended the library as a principally theological collection and the building, which is a very fine example of Victorian Gothic, has much of the appearance of a church, although the actual concept was of an Oxford college library on a larger scale.
The core of the library was formed around the collection of 40,000 books including many rarities assembled by George John Spencer, which Mrs Rylands purchased in 1892. The library was finally opened to readers on 1 January 1900. It was illuminated internally by electricity (rather than gas which was more common at the time). The use of electricity was still in its early stages, the supply had to be generated on-site. This took some years to achieve due to the inexperience of local contractors, but the library became one of the first public buildings in Manchester to be lit by electricity and continued to generate its own supply until 1950.
Basil Champneys was given the rare honour of speaking about the building at a general meeting of the Royal Institute of British Architects and was awarded the Royal Gold Medal in 1912. The library was granted listed building status on 25 January 1952, which was upgraded to Grade I on 6 June 1994.
In the Rylands Gallery on the lower floor, you can see some of the most important items from the Library's collections including magnificent medieval manuscripts and examples of the earliest books ever printed. The gallery is organized around seven themes. Faiths, History of the Bible, Beautiful Books, Science, World Literatures, Everyday Life and Manchester.
It is one of Manchester's building gems and inside more resembles a cathedral than a library. Marble statues of Enriqueta and John Rylands watch over the readers from either end of the room. If you are in the city, make an excuse to spend some time to drink in the history.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF23TD - Quarry Bank Mill in Cheshire, England, is one of the best preserved textile mills of the Industrial Revolution and is now a museum of the cotton industry. It is a Grade II listed building and is now in the care of the National Trust.
The mill was founded by Samuel Greg (who is represented here), in 1784 in the village of Styal on the River Bollin. Its original iron water wheel was designed by Thomas Hewes and built between 1816 and 1820.
The Hewes wheel finally broke in 1904. After that the River Bollin continued to power the mill, through two water turbines. Today the Mill is home to the most powerful working waterwheel in Europe, an iron water wheel which was originally at Glasshouses Mill at Patley Bridge. This wheel was designed by Sir William Fairbairn, the Scottish engineer who had been an apprentice of Thomas Hewes.
The estate surrounding the mill, also developed by Greg, is the most complete and least altered factory colony of the Industrial Revolution. The estate and mill were donated to the National Trust in 1939 by Alexander Carlton Greg and are open to the public. The mill continued in commercial production until 1959.
The Greg family were Unitarians and built Norcliffe Chapel in Styal village. Their non-conformist religious beliefs provided the Gregs with important business contacts as many of the major Manchester Industrialists were Unitarian. Methodist workers at the mill later sought a place of worship, and the Gregs converted a grain store in Styal village into a Chapel for their use.
In Britain, a cotton mill is a factory that houses spinning and weaving machinery. Typically built between 1775 and 1930, mills spun cotton which was an important product during the Industrial Revolution.
Cotton mills, and the mechanisation of the spinning process, were instrumental in the growth of the machine tool industry, enabling the construction of larger cotton mills. The requirement for water helped stimulate the construction of the canal system too.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4589609737 - 'Saltaire United Reformed Church is one of the UK's most precious Victorian architectural gems. The church was built by Sir Titus Salt in 1859 near Shipley along from Bradford, West Yorkshire. Its style is Italianate religious architecture. It has been described as a classic 'Cathedral of Congregationalism'.
Saltaire was Sir Titus Salt's legacy. Sir Titus Salt, 1st Baronet (20 September 1803 \u2013 29 December 1876), born in Morley, near Leeds, was a manufacturer, politician and philanthropist in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. I find him pretty inspirational, he was certainly way ahead of his time. His father Daniel Salt was a fairly successful businessman and was able to send Titus to Batley Grammar School.
In 1833 he had taken over the running of his father's business and within twenty years had expanded it to be the largest employer in Bradford. In 1848 Titus Salt became mayor of Bradford. He had a social conscience and took steps to look for solutions to the pollution from the many factory chimneys in the city.
Around 1850, he decided to build a large mill to consolidate his textile manufacture in one place, but he 'did not like to be a party to increasing that already over-crowded borough', and he bought some land three miles from Bradford, adjacent to Shipley next to the River Aire. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the Midland Railway, main arteries of the day were adjacent.
Building of his mill was begun in 1851. He opened it with a grand banquet on his 50th birthday, 20 September 1853. Following that public conscience he then set about building the houses, bathhouses, institute, hospital, almshouses and churches, that make up Saltaire. very revolutionary for the time. Similar ventures were persued by the quaker chocolate barons at Bournville and by Rowntree in York. Salt built the Congregational Church pictured here (now Saltaire United Reformed Church) at his own expense in 1858\u201359. He donated the land on which the Wesleyan Chapel was built by public subscription in 1866\u201368.
Sir Titus commissioned architects Lockwood and Mawson to design the building, as they had designed a number of other important Italianate buildings in Bradford City centre.
His body is interred at a mausaleum at the church and can be viewed. Reportidly at his funeral 100,000 people lined the route. Many people had him to thank for his far sightedness and care for his fellow man.
The church today is grade I listed. The entrance is up six steps under a portico supported by six unfluted Corinthian columns and topped by a fretted tower with cupola.
Inside are hollow Corinthian columns with beautiful Scagliola exteriors, an Italian technique implemented by Mr. Dolan of Manchester. Two ornate chandeliers of ormolu and cut glass hang from the ceiling, of such great weight that additional roof trusses had to be inserted to support them. Originally lit by gas, they were made by Hausburg of Liverpool.
The existing organ, built by Peter Conacher and Co. of Huddersfield, was installed in 1890, rebuilt at the end of the Second World War.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4544077808 - 'Arthur's sword in Welsh legend is known as Caledfwlch. Its used by Arthur's warrior Llenlleawg the Irishman to kill the Irish king Diwrnach while stealing his magical cauldron. In Cornish the word Calesvol is used in literature to describe it and appears to have either come from the Welsh name or be an early pre-celtic word for it. At any rate the legend in various forms can be found in many northern european cultures.
Excalibur is by no means the only weapon associated with Arthur, nor the only sword, but the one that gets all the publicity.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson described it in 'The Passing of Arthur' ('Morte d'Arthur') in these words:
There drew he forth the brand Excalibur,
And o\u2019er him, drawing it, the winter moon,
Brightening the skirts of a long cloud, ran forth
And sparkled keen with frost against the hilt:
For all the haft twinkled with diamond sparks,
Myriads of topaz-lights, and jacinth-work
Of subtlest jewellery.
The Lady of the Lake is the name of several related characters in the different legends and interpretations. The Scotsman Walter Scott transported the legend to Loch Katrine, near Callander in central Scotland. In more recent times she appears as a character in the Spamalot musical and on Richie Blackmore's Rainbow 'Long Live Rock and Roll' album from the late 1970's.
With a delicate move kind of shifty and smooth
A shadow has covered the light
Then a beam in the shade from a slivery blade
Has shattered the edge of the night
Ahhh... takes me back to my mis-spent youth!

Ledaig is the original name for the Tobermory Scotch whisky distillery on the isle of Mull, western Scotland. The distillery was founded in 1798 and the present buildings were erected during its first period of operation which continued until 1826. The distillery was 'silent' for long periods in the mid 1800s and mid 1900s and was twice revived during the 1970s. Now it has been revived again
The distillery belongs currently to Burn Stewart, closed in 1975, and reopened in 1990. Its main product, Tobermory single malt is used in the blends 'Scottish Leader' and 'Black Prince'. The distillery also produces a smaller amount of peated whisky, Ledaig (not quite as peaty as Lafroig). It is just to the left of the colourful harbour.
Single Malts mature at the Deanston Distillery in sherry and bourbon casks, they are then returned to Tobermory for the last few years. Burn Stewart also own this facility. Tobermory the Malt Scotch Whisky is presented in a bottle with an enamelled label. It is a vatted malt containing some Tobermory whiskies of up to 20-years old and proportions of newly-mature spirit from elsewhere.
Vatted malt is blended from malt whiskies from different distilleries. If a whisky is labelled 'pure malt' or just 'malt' it is almost certain to be a vatted whisky. This is also sometimes labelled as 'blended malt' whisky.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4521874232 - 'The classic Cadbury Creme Egg is manufactured to look like an egg inside and out. For the benefit of any one who has never seen a 171 calorie creme egg, it consists of a thick milk chocolate shell, housing a white and yellow filling made from egg, thick white cream, sugars and other additives. Creme Eggs are a best-selling confectionery item between New Year's Day and Easter in the UK (when sale stops). There are annual sales in excess of 200 million eggs and a brand value estimated of approximately \u00a345 million.
They are produced by Cadbury UK in the United Kingdom, and under licence by The Hershey Company in the United States. The eggs are manufactured at the Bournville factory in Birmingham with around 1.5 million being hatched from the production line each day.
While filled eggs were first manufactured by the Cadbury Brothers in 1923, the Creme Egg in its current form was introduced in 1971.
The Cadbury Creme Egg is manufactured by making a chocolate shell in a half-egg shaped mould, which is then filled with white fondant and a dab of yellow fondant to simulate the yolk. Two mould halves are closed very quickly and cooled to allow the chocolate to set. When the moulds are opened, the eggs fall onto a conveyor which transports them, first to the foiling machines and then to the finished packing.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5231735130 - 'Ticket To Ride - 'The Beatles' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Heres a track in celebration last week of itunes finally being able to offer the Beatles back catalog for download. On November 16th 17 official Beatles albums were made available for sale on Apple's iTunes Store. Also 13 remastered albums.
Now I must admit I was born slightly too late to appreciate totally the fab four's output. Revolver and Sgt Peppers are in my collection and a number of those singles compilations. No doubt that Lennon &
McCartney were the Morrissey &
Marr of that sixties generation. Before I get barraged with comments, that was just a bit of friendly Manc/Scouse banter!
'Ticket to Ride' is a song by The Beatles from their 1965 album, Help!. It was recorded 15th February 1965 and released two months later. The song lyrics describe a girl 'riding out of the life of the narrator', the inspiration of the title phrase is unclear.
McCartney said it was 'a British Railways ticket to the town of Ryde on the Isle of Wight', while Lennon said it described cards indicating a clean bill of health carried by Hamburg prostitutes in the 1960s. The Beatles played in Hamburg early in their musical career, and 'ride/riding' was slang for having sex.
The track has been covered by Sly and Robbie, The Bee Gees and Vanilla Fudge. Red Drawf fans will remember the episode 'Tikka to Ride', in accordance with the theme of curry on which the storyline focuses.
------------------------
Early bus operators had two problems to solve. One was that of fare dodgers and the other was the possibility of conductors who might fiddle the takings. Early machines were devised that punched tickets at appropriate stages (&
sounded a bell) then retained the coloured clipping. Hence the name 'Bell Punch' and the reference to lady bus conductors as 'Clippies' (see 'On The Buses').
The Bell Punch Company produced an automated version of their pre-printed ticket system, which they called 'Ultimate'. These used continuous ticket rolls with the values printed on them. Each ticket carried a serial number and a pre-printed value. The machines had several tracks each of which had a lever at the front that ejected a ticket, which was then roughly torn off against a serrated cutter.
The fare stage could be printed in one of three positions on the bottom of the ticket. Each new ticket roll had a piece of adhesive tape (which the conductor had to lick) to join it to the end of the old one, which was supposed to prevent the conductor having to change rolls mid-journey. The system coped better with changing fare structures, but after a while, the machines became unreliable and would jam up. It was not uncommon to see conductors tearing off tickets from the back of the machines at busy times.

Warrington artists and musicians Rick Hagan and Crazy Dave. They would not look out of place in a science fiction space opera.
They could be on a distant planet, or maybe just popped out of Sigourney Weaver's air conditioning duct (or maybe the Spar on Thelwall New Road). I remember reading a few Edward E (Doc) Smith books in my wasted youth, from his Skylark and Lensman series. Rick or Dave could drop out of any of these, straight off the page.
In the Mos Eisley Cantina watering hole maybe you might find them in a booth, Rick with a mug of white tea (as he doesn't normally drink) and Dave with a two bottles (double round) of Colt 45s with Lando.

There is a surround of plaster leaves and it is mounted on plaster that has been painted with a mock yellow marble effect. I dont know how many people enering these offices notice this each day.
It was made by Lund &
Blockleys of 42 Pall Mall (just further down the street). It is labelled 'Patent Synchronized Clock'. It has classic romon style numerals on its face.
Looking at previous auctions of other clocks it appears that Lund &
Brockley were at one point official suppliers of clocks, watches etc to the queen of England or royal family by appointment. If anyobe has any further information to add on this timepiece or the manufacturers, please leave a comment.

It is a nice part of 'old London', it was the site of a flower, fruit and vegetable market from the 1500s until 1974. The wholesale market was then relocated to New Covent Garden Market in Nine Elms (not so picturesque). While Covent Garden is the only part of London licensed for street entertainment, performers have to jump through hoops, having to undertake auditions for the Market's management and representatives of the performers' union and signing up to timetabled slots.
It was nice on a quite mild March afternoon to enjoy my pint of Fullers London Pride overlooking the main piazza. This image has been turned to monochrome then selectively coloured.

There are some cracking books on tattooing around. They are great for inspiration and like this chap, if I was having a large scale piece of work done it would be the ideal coffee table book to be browsing. Tat history is over 5000 year-old as proved by a tattooed mummy found in modern day Egypt. there are many fine books that document and illustrate it.
Here are some of my favourites that I have read, owned, enjoyed, had stolen or lost during the years.
The Sketchbook: 80 Unique Designs by the World's Finest Tattoo Artists.
A perfectly tattooed body requires the skills of a professional and talented artist, who creates a unique and personal design. These designs are often inspired by one or more of the various tattoo styles of Japanese, Maori or other tribal origin. 'The Sketchbook' offers the reader a selection of 80 of these unique designs by well-known and less famous, but very promising, tattoo artists from around the world. Each artist was requested to create a sketch unrestrained by commercial demands and which reflects their own personal interests.
Bodies of Inscription : A Cultural History of the Modern Tattoo Community
this is a pretty academic book. The new tattoo community described here is demographically quite different from the old. It is more female, more middle-class, and more educated, whereas the earlier society of tattoo collectors was primarily working class and male. DeMello lays out some of the social history of tattooing to prepare for her discussion of the changes in tattooing in the past 20 years. From handpicked prison tattoos to the latest in today's 'tribal' design, from gang symbols to feminist ones, tattoos themselves have changed to meet changing demands and fashions.
The Tattoo Encyclopedia: A Guide to Choosing Your Tattoo
As they should, tattoos continue to move into the mainstream and grow in popularity. For people pondering getting a tattoo, however, the choice of images can be overwhelming. A comprehensive, informative exploration of the colorful world of tattoos, The Tattoo Encyclopedia presents concise descriptions of symbols both common and unusual and sheds light on their historic, religious, and cultural significance.
Bushido
Legacies of the Japanese Tattoo. This includes over 200 cracking photos by the classic tat2 photographer Jai Tanju. The text is based largely on Takahiro Kitamuras experiences as customer and student of the famed Japanese tattoo master, Horiyoshi III.

Tattoo Art has been producing high quality tattoo designs for over a decade. Professional tattoo artists worldwide have used Tattoo Art's wide assortment of designs to satisfy all their customer needs. The quality and variety of the tattoo designs produced by Tattoo Art has placed them among the industry leaders. Its a great index of proven designs.
Also, call me a luditte, but if it was a choice between an electronic version of one of these books (ie Kindle download), or shiny paper, i would go for the latter every time. When my Billy bookcase sags, it actually smiles. :-)

Its situated on the lower slopes of the north side of Balquhidder Glen. It reflects the continuation of a tradition of worship in the glen that goes back 4000 years or more. The Celts believed this to be a 'thin place' where the spiritual world and the earthly world came close together. To the south is a spur of Ben Ledi ('the hill of God') and traces of a Neolithic temple dating back to 1800 BC have been found in the glen.
A graveyard stone describes how the MacLarens were attacked by the MacGregors of Glen Dochart. 18 MacLaren families resident in Balquhidder were murdered in the Glen before settling on their land. At the time the MacGregors largely evaded responsibility for what would today be called an act of genocide. But it was one of the factors later held against them (the more immediate being their slaying of several hundred members of Clan Colquhoun at the Battle of Glen Fruin on 7 February 1603) when the entire Clan MacGregor was outlawed by James VI in April 1603. These were very bloody times. It became a capital offence even to carry the name MacGregor.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4391219040 - 'Something fascinating I came across today while in Walsall, West Midlands (, England UK) in an old factory. It reminded me of my first job where I worked and the need to clock in (and out). The machines were nowhere near as brilliant as this one however.
These are sometimes called 'Punch Clocks' (as a card was generally punched with a time). The Gledhill-Brook's areregarded as the \u2018Rolls Royce\u2019 of Time Recorders. Huge chain fusee movements fitted with Harrison maintaining power. Most were made and in use during the 1920's in factories. It is essentially a clock with a base that does all the clever stuff.
They were British made and available from 26 Victoria St London, 44 Hill St Birmingham or 43 Market St Huddersfield Gods own county of Yorkshire.
Simplex, Ltd, another clock manufacturer., bought out Gledhill Brook in 1964.

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.

Parisioners use the collection envelope to leave an abbonymous donation. These days they can gift aid it etc, this was not the case in the 1960's when a ten bob not would be a quite vast sum and six pence (from two three penny bits) maybe more the norm to be dropped into the plate.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
A cracking track that took me back to my schooldays, turned up in todays shuffle on my iPod.
'Tenement Funster' is Roger Taylor's song on the Sheer Heart Attack album. He sang the lead vocals. Backing track consisted of Taylor's drums, Mercury's piano, Deacon's bass and May's Red Special guitar. It's a typical Taylor track about youth and rebellion. It also includes echo effects with May's guitar, like in 'Brighton Rock'. The last couple of guitar notes overlap into 'Flick Of The Wrist'. The original working title for the song was 'Tin Dreams'.
Sheer Heart Attack is the third album by British rock group Queen, released November 1974. It was produced by Queen and Roy Thomas Baker for EMI in the United Kingdom, and Elektra in the US.
The album launched the band to mainstream popularity both in the UK and internationally and at a time when I was at secondary school. My school bag had a big 'Queen' and 'Led Zep' logo scrawled on it. Due to a lack of cash (or bigger brothers) in my house, my school friends and older brothers often supplied the vinyl in a gatefold sleeve, on loan.
The first single, 'Killer Queen' reached #2 in the British charts and provided Queen with their first US Top 20 hit. Sheer Heart Attack was also the first Queen album to hit the US Top 20, peaking at #12 in 1975. Digressing from the progressive themes featured on their first two albums, Sheer Heart Attack featured more conventional rock tracks and marked a step towards the classic Queen sound.
In recent years, it has been listed by multiple publications as one of the band's best works and I would recommend it as a starting point to listen to some of the legacy of early queen.
------------------------
Many tower blocks were built in the UK after the Second World War. The first residential tower block, 'The Lawn' was constructed in Harlow, Essex in 1951
it is now a Grade II listed building. In many cases Tower Blocks were seen as a 'quick-fix' to cure problems caused by crumbling and unsanitary 19th century dwellings or to replace buildings destroyed by German aerial bombing. Initially, they were welcomed, and their excellent views made them popular living places.
Later, as the buildings themselves deteriorated, they grew a reputation for being undesirable low cost housing, and many tower blocks saw rising crime levels, increasing their unpopularity. One response to this was the great increase in the number of housing estates built, which in turn brings its own problems. In the UK, tower blocks particularly lost popularity after the partial collapse of Ronan Point in 1968.
Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, is believed to contain the highest concentration of tower blocks in the UK - examples include the Hutchensontown C blocks in the Gorbals, the 20-storey blocks in Sighthill, and the 31-storey Red Road flats in the city's north east. However, on the whole, London has the largest number of high-rise residential buildings in the UK
Greater Manchester had more than its fair share of tower blocks, one of the worst examples being in Hulme. In Hulme, a new and (at the time) innovative design for deck access and tower living was attempted. This consisted of curved rows of low-rise flats with deck access far above the streets was created, known as the 'Crescents' (which were, with unintentional irony, architecturally based on terraced housing in Bath).
In this arrangement, motor vehicles remained on ground level with pedestrians on concrete walkways overhead, above the smoke and fumes of the street. People living in these new flats were rehoused from decaying Victorian slums which lacked electricity, running water, bathrooms or indoor toilets, and were mostly overcrowded.
The names of the 'Crescents' harked back to the Georgian era, being named after architects of that time: Robert Adam Crescent, Charles Barry Crescent, William Kent Crescent and John Nash Crescent, together with Hawksmoor Close (a small straight block of similar design attached to Charles Barry Crescent). At the time, the 'Crescents' won several design awards, and introduced technologies such as underfloor heating to the masses.
They were also popular because they were some of the first council homes in Manchester to have central heating. The development even had some notable first occupants, such as Nico and Alain Delon.
This is an old shot of mine, but thankfully a lot of this system built housing has now been replaced or renovated in Manchester. The local city council and its housing associations like City South HA that covers Hulme are on track for a high proportion of dwellings to meet Decent Homes standard by this years target.
This was a three shot panorama shot in infra-red.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3875567348 - 'A wedding image in blue toned black and white monochrome within the great neogothic town hall in Manchester, which is a designated site for marriage ceremonies.
Designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse in 1877 as a town hall for a prosperous emerging city, the building features imposing murals by the artist Ford Madox Brown depicting important events in the history of the city. The Town Hall was rated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building in 1952 and the Town Hall Extension, completed in 1938, was Grade II* listed in 1974.
The choice of Albert Square as location was influenced by a desire to provide a central, accessible, but relatively quiet site in a respectable district, close to Manchester's banks and municipal offices, next to a large open area, suitable for the display of a fine building.
The foundation stone of the new Town Hall was laid on 26th October 1868 by the Lord Mayor of Manchester, Robert Neill. The Town Hall was opened by Lord Mayor Abel Heywood, on 13 September 1877, after Queen Victoria's snubbed the city and refusal to attend the opening.
As you enter on the floor is a mosaic depicting the bee, the symbol of Manchester's being a hive of industry during the 19th century. The bee also used be on the Boddingtons beer logo. A history going back to 1778 was ended when last family chairman Ewart Boddington sold the Strangeways brewery and the Boddingtons brand to Whitbread for \u00a350.7 million. In May 2000, the Whitbread Beer Company was acquired by brewing conglomerate Interbrew. In 2004 brewing was moved from the original site next to Manchester's main victorian prison. Cask Boddingtons is still brewed in Manchester however, at teh former Kestral Lager brewary at Moss Side.
Reasuringly the town hall tower is still topped by a golden cotton seed ball, the original source of the city's wealth. That will not go the way of Strangeways brewery.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3875569520 - 'The D-Mark (Deutsche Mark) Sadly lost in 1999.
Taken at a silver service tearoom cafe near Bonn, West Germany.
The Deutsche Mark or German mark was the official currency of West Germany (1948\u20131990) and Germany (1990\u20132002) until the adoption of the euro in 2002. The old East Germany had their own 'East German Mark' or Ostmark or Mark der DDR.
It was first issued under Allied occupation in 1948 replacing the Reichsmark, and served as the Federal Republic of Germany's official currency from its founding the following year until 1999, when the Mark was replaced by the euro
its coins and banknotes remained in circulation, defined in terms of euros, until the introduction of euro notes and coins in early 2002.
The Deutsche Mark ceased to be legal tender immediately upon the introduction of the euro\u2014in contrast to the other Eurozone nations, where the euro and legacy currency circulated side by side for up to two months. DM coins and banknotes continued to be accepted as valid forms of payment in Germany until 28 February 2002.
The Deutsche Bundesbank has guaranteed that all German mark in cash form may be changed into euros indefinitely, and one may do so at any branch of the Bundesbank in Germany. Banknotes can even be sent to the bank by mail.
Unfortunately in recent months the German nation has been bailing a big chunk of Europe's eurozone out. Much to the iritation of the German nation I suspect.
Germany's top court has ruled that aid for Greece and rescue packages for other eurozone countries was legal but said parliament must have greater say in any future bailout deals.
The Constitutional Court, based in Karlsruhe, western Germany, was responding to a challenge brought by six leading German Eurosceptics.
The five academics and one politician argued that the bailouts violated property rights and broke the 'no bailout' clause in the European Union's treaty.
In a landmark ruling, eagerly anticipated by jittery financial markets, the court said all 'large-scale' future aid packages must be approved by the parliament's budget committee.
Makes me glad Britain stayed with the pound sterling.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
This is one band that crop up at least three times a week on my ipod, generally early stuff like this or from the 'Miss You' 'Some Girls' era.
'Paint It, Black' is a song by The Rolling Stones, released on Friday 13 May 1966 as the first single from their fourth album Aftermath. It was originally titled 'Paint It Black' without a comma. Keith Richards has stated that the comma was added by the record label, Decca. It was a number one hit in the UK and USA.
The song began with Wyman playing organ at a recording session, in parody of the group's former co-manager Eric Easton, who had been an organist. Charlie Watts accompanied the organ by playing a vaguely Middle Eastern drum part
Watts' drum pattern became the basis for the final song. Brian Jones contributed the song's signature sitar riff (having taught himself to play after a visit with George Harrison), and Jagger contributed the lyrics, seemingly about a man mourning his dead girlfriend. Both electric and acoustic guitars and the background vocals are provided by Richards. The piano is played by Jack Nitzsche.
The track has been extensively covered and I must have about five different versions of it, including WASP, U2, The Standells and The Residents (do you remember them?).
To get to know The Stones, you could do worse than start at 'Forty Licks'. Here you get a taster of every era, as usual, tell 'em I sent you :-)

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5164712933 - 'The Rocker - 'Thin Lizzy' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
A track from the late great Phil Lynott. I heard this live finishing up a set at the Manchester Apollo in 1979 I think, December time.
The band often used to finish up with this track in celebration of a guy called Ted Carroll. He had brought the band to London from Dublin in the early 70's and he ran a Saturday record stall called 'Rock On' on Golborne Road, Off Ladbroke Grove market.
Carroll was involved with early Chiswick label artists and the founders of Stiff records (motto 'If it aint Stiff, it aint worth a f**k). Thus was instrumental in producing and pressing a great many of the 70's vinyls in my loft. He never was involved in a Thin Lizzy release however, Decca and Phongram were the bands labels, with the former involved with the band releasing an album of Deep Purple covers.
Thin Lizzy's leader, Lynott was composer or co-composer of almost all their songs. He was one of the few black men to achieve commercial success in hard rock, and was certainly the first black Irishman to do so. As well as being multiracial, the band drew their members not only from both sides of the Irish border but also from both the Catholic and Protestant communities.
For a great introduction to Thin Lizzy, the live album 'Live and Dangerous' is your only option. There is some disagreement over just how much of the album is actually recorded live. Producer Tony Visconti claimed that the only parts that weren't overdubbed were the drums and the audience. However Brian Robertson has refuted this, saying that he had refused Lynott's request to re-record a guitar solo, and that the only overdubs were backing vocals and some guitar parts by Gorham. He added, 'It's just not true. The only reason we said that it was recorded all over was obviously for tax reasons... so everything that Visconti claims is boll**ks.
Listen for yourself and make your own mind up :-)

The Fender Cyclone was a series of electric guitars made by Fender. Introduced in late 1997, the Cyclone body is similarly styled to the Mustang but with a significantly different specification. The body of the Cyclone is a quarter of an inch thicker than the body of a Mustang and is made of poplar, whereas contemporary Mustang reissues were made of basswood.
The Fender Cyclone was discontinued in 2007.

The lift bridge (proper name Salford Quays Millennium footbridge) is a 95m vertical lift bridge bridge spanning the Manchester Ship Canal at the manchester Pomona dock end. The bridge, was completed in the year 2000 and links the Lowry Centre to Trafford Wharfside.
The bridge has a total lift of 18 metres and can be raised or lowered very quickly in less than three minutes.
This area is now given over now to shopping, flats, bars and the BBC northern outpost, rather than the ships of over 40 or more years ago.

In early 1977 he met guitarist John McGeoch, then an art student, and they began writing songs, some of which would appear on the critically acclaimed 'Real Life' album. John McGeoch was the only original member to miss the reunion. He died in 2004 and was replaced by Noko on the tour, who had played with Devoto in the band Luxuria.
the fabulous Barry Adamson was on bass guitar. I have enjoyed his solo stuff for many years, including his 'Moss Side Story' and his soundtrack for David Lynch's 'Lost Highway'. The compilation 'The Murky World of Barry Adamson' is a good introduction to his music post mid-1980's.

Streets like a jungle......
'Boys and girls' was the lead single from the 'Park Life' album. It was Blur's first top 5 UK hit and most successful single until 'Country House' reached number 1 the following year. The single was seen as a comeback for the band, who had had a lean commercial period for a couple of years. The song surpassed the band's previous commercial peak 'There's No Other Way' by three spots on the UK Singles Chart.
The video, directed by 10cc's Kevin Godley, featured Blur performing the song against a bluescreen backdrop of documentary footage people on 18-30 package holidays. Godley branded the video as 'Page 3 rubbish' while Blur found it 'perfect'. The front cover of the single was taken from a pack of Durex condoms.
In 1994, the song was named single of the year by NME and Melody Maker in the UK. It was also nominated for best song at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Everyone should own at least one Blur album, my choice would be the 'Midlife: A Beginner's Guide to Blur'. Track it down, tell 'em I sent you.
------------------------
Manchester has a wealth of LGBT culture and activities. The sitcom drama 'Queer as folk' was set in the Canal St area of the city. 20th century broadcaster and social commentator Brian Redhead once said 'Manchester ... is the capital, in every sense, of the North of England, where the modern world was born. The people know their geography is without equal. Their history is their response to it'. Whilst Ian Brown of the Stone Roses has previously said that 'Manchester has everything except a beach' (er.. top man, bob-on!).
Manchester has claimed to have the UK's largest gay population outside of London. Gay Village, centred on the Canal Street area, is home to numerous shops, restaurants, bars and clubs. On the last weekend in August it hosts the Manchester Pride Festival (previously known as Mardi Gras and Gayfest).
Manchester's gay culture was brought to mainstream attention on television series Queer as Folk and Coronation Street. It is also the birthplace of several gay rights organisations including the Campaign for Homosexual Equality, Queer Youth Alliance, The Lesbian &
Gay Foundation.
Manchester has its own gay sports teams, Village Manchester FC (soccer), Northern Wave (swimming) and Village Spartans (Rugby) which take part in Manchester's annual Pride Games. In the 1990s Manchester City Council gave support to the establishment of a gay centre and employed four lesbians and gay men to help implement their equal opportunity policy. Their work continued in spite of Section 28 and the City Council actively supported the Mardi Gras and other gay events.
The year round gay and lesbian heritage trail exhibits Manchester's gay history. In 2003, Manchester played host city to the annual Europride festival. The Lesbian &
Gay Foundation, Britain's biggest gay charity, is based on Richmond Street in the city centre. Manchester Metropolitan University has been named the most gay friendly university in the UK.

Do you ever wonder about the vendor?

Back in 1995 where I lived in Warrington, the local county council would not authorise its sale. Therefore nobody saw anyone selling it on the streets. Easy for everyone to assume there is no homelessness problem.

More about 'The Big Issue'...
The Big Issue is a street newspaper published in eight countries
it is written by professional journalists and sold by homeless individuals. It was founded by John Bird and Gordon Roddick in September 1991. The Big Issue is one of the UK's leading social businesses and exists to offer homeless people the opportunity to earn a legitimate income, thereby helping them to reintegrate into mainstream society. It is also the world's most widely circulated street newspaper.
To become a vendor, one must be homeless or vulnerably housed or marginalised in some way. The Big Issue recognises, however, that for many people, being housed is only the first stage in getting off the streets
therefore, The Big Issue Foundation exists to support vendors in gaining control of their lives by tackling the various issues which lead to homelessness.
The Big Issue has been described as one of the most successful street newspapers worldwide, selling over 300,000 copies a week and listed as the third-favourite newspaper of young British people (age 15 to 24) in 2001.
There are 5 localised editions of the magazine sold throughout the United Kingdom and vendors buy The Big Issue for 85p[7] and sell it for \u00a31.70. The magazine is also produced and sold in Australia, the Republic of Ireland, South Africa, Japan, Namibia, Kenya, Malawi and Taiwan. All vendors receive training, sign a code of conduct] and can be identified by badges which include their photo and vendor number

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HD4W - A traditional British electric milkfloat vehicle
Milk deliveries frequently occur in the morning and it is not uncommon for milkmen to deliver products other than milk such as eggs, cream, cheese, butter, yogurt or soft drinks. Originally, milk needed to be delivered to houses daily since the lack of good refrigeration meant it would quickly spoil. The near-ubiquity of refrigerators in homes in the developed world, as well as improved packaging, has decreased the need for frequent milk delivery over the past half-century and made the trade shrink in many localities sometimes to just 3 days a week and disappear totally in others. Additionally, milk delivery incurs a small cost on the price of dairy products that is increasingly difficult to justify and leaves delivered milk in a position where it is vulnerable to theft.
Because of the relatively small power output from its electric motor, a milk float travels fairly slowly, usually around 10 to 16 miles per hour (16 to 26 km/h) although some have been modified to do up to 80 mph (130 km/h). Operators often exit their vehicle before they have completely stopped to speed up deliveries
milk floats generally have sliding doors that can be left open when moving, or may have no doors at all. They are very quiet, suiting operations in residential areas during the early hours of the morning or during the night.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HF2D - Pulmicort Asthma Inhaler with box with braille markings, held by a user of this medication.
What Is Pulmicort?
Pulmicort is an inhaled steroid used to control asthma symptoms. Pulmicort, along with other inhaled steroids like Flovent, is considered first-line treatment when you need more than occasional use of a rescue inhaler for your asthma. Pulmicort can be prescribed by itself or combined with a long-acting beta agonist to prevent asthma symptoms such as:
Wheezing
Chest tightness
Shortness of breath
Chronic cough
How Does Pulmicort Work?
Pulmicort reduces inflammation in the lungs and decreases airway hyper-responsiveness. By acting directly in the lungs, your airways are also less likely to respond to an asthma trigger.
Additionally, Pulmicort's benefits result from its action on a number of different cell types involved in the pathophysiology of asthma:
Basophils
Eosinophils
Lymphocytes
Macrophages
Mast Cells
Neutrophils
The decreased inflammation, mucus production, and hyperreponsiveness leads to a decrease in your asthma symptoms. Unlike your rescue inhaler, Pulmicort controls chronic asthma symptoms and should be taken daily in order to be effective.
How Is Pulmicort Prescribed?
Pulmicort is prescribed in 2 different forms. Pulmicort Respules are an inhalation suspension delivered via a special nebulizer and are available in several different strengths. Pulmicort is also available via a dry inhaled powder that is similar to a metered dose inhaler. Generally, you will take Pulmicort daily no matter how well your asthma symptoms are controlled. If your asthma control is excellent, talk with your doctor about considering a decrease in your medication.
The active component in Pulmicort, budesonide, is also in Symbicort, combination asthma inhaler, and in Rhinocort, a nasal spray for allergies. .
