Sarah and Raymond were married on the 19th April 2014 at Langstons House registry office in Hornchurch.
The house is set in beautiful grounds overlooking a lake and makes an ideal setting for weddings.
The theme on the day was Orange, with Sarah' bouquet made up of orange and Ivory Silk flowers, the bridesmaid had very unusual wired hearts to hold which had matching Orange material on show inside.
Sarah had 3 bridesmaid, Millie the older bridesmaid had a floor length Orange dress and the younger two bridesmaids Ruby and Felicity wore Ivory coloured dresses with Orange flower petals trapped inside the material and Orange waist ribbons.
Raymond was attended by his Best Man Matt and 2 pageboys Alfie and Casey, all of whom fitted in well with the theme wearing Orange cravats.
A vintage cream car was used to for Sarah to arrive in and really made for some lovely pictures both on arrival and later in the day with the groom.

Natural burial is often thought of as a green option that takes place in the countryside for non-religious people, but according to researchers at the University of Sheffield, that is only part of the story. 'Lots of different approaches to natural burial have evolved since 1993 when the first site was opened,' explains Mr Andy Clayden, who is leading the research team, which includes Professor Jenny Hockey and Dr Trish Green, 'they cater for people who want a more informal setting in keeping with the person they want to remember. There is no conflict with faith.' The topic is to be discussed at an event on Natural Burial: Do we need a Headstone? to be held in Sheffield on March 14 as part of the Economic and Social Research Council's (ESRC) Festival of Social Science.
There are now over 200 natural burial grounds across the UK ranging from extensions to local authority cemeteries to sites owned by charitable trusts or private individuals. The project, which was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, is looking at the range of services on offer and the wider impact of natural burial both on the people involved and the landscape. The researchers have already visited 20 sites and are continuing to interview managers, bereaved people, funeral professionals and members of the local community. They will also be conducting an in-depth study of four sites with different interpretations of what natural burial means.
Early findings suggest that natural burial is attractive to people who want to construct their own way of remembering a relative. Natural burial grounds vary tremendously in terms of the habitats they are trying to create or protect. For example some sites offer a specific guidance on what trees or wildflower seeds can be planted whilst other burial grounds may have a more relaxed and permissive approach. There are sites where the dead are almost completely anonymous; the field may be cut for hay or grazed by sheep.
The research suggests that the farmers and their families who offer land for burials are very enthusiastic about the new movement. 'Some of them live in remote upland areas and they find that by providing burial space they have a new role which requires them to 'open their door' to a new community whom they welcome onto and into their land. Many of them remain a point of contact with the bereaved,' says Andy Clayden.

Patricia Highsmith's Short Stories: Tales of Natural and Unnatural Catastrophes, Signed Inscribed Association First Edition (Bloomsbury, 1987)
Signed books have become an increasingly important aspect of my book collecting over the past couple of years, especially books – first editions usually, but other editions too – signed by my favourite authors; I've been blogging about some of my more recent acquisitions in that regard over the past month or so (periodically). But even more fascinating to me than flat signed – i.e. signature-only – books are inscribed ones, particularly those inscribed by authors to friends or even fellow authors – association copies, in the lingo of book collectors. For me it's not so much who they're inscribed to, although that in and of itself can be interesting – witness the Jack Gerson thriller I blogged about last month, inscribed to Doctor Who actress Mary Tamm – nor the matter of provenance, although in purely collecting terms an association copy does bestow a certain authenticity on a signature and inscription (see here, here and here); it's more the implication that the book was probably one of the author's own copies – that it sat on their shelves for however short or long a period of time, was handled by them, and ultimately given away by them.
I own a good number of such books myself, maybe half a dozen or so of which are by some of my favourite authors: Elmore Leonard, Donald E. Westlake, P. M. Hubbard (with accompanying letter), Gavin Lyall, Anthony Price. And then there's Patricia Highsmith. Highsmith is perhaps the author I admire above all others, but she's not the easiest writer to acquire in inscribed first (or any) edition. Flat signed books, no problem – signed copies of the various limited editions of her novels and short story collections published by Mysterious Press or Penzler Books in the States can be had for as little as twenty quid on AbeBooks, while for just north of £100 it's usually possible to obtain the 1991 signed Bloomsbury/London Limited Editions Ripley Under Water (I myself own one). But inscribed copies? I can see barely ten in total for sale online at present, ranging from over £150 to nearly £6,000.
Two years ago, however, I managed to procure, for a ridiculously low price, an inscribed copy of the 1977 Heinemann edition of the (very) short story collection Little Tales of Misogyny – an association copy, inscribed to two of Highsmith's friends and with a little drawing to boot. It was an extremely fortunate find, and I didn't think I'd easily be able to get my hands on anything like it again – which just goes to show how wrong a body can be, because I've since come into possession of a further two inscribed copies of Highsmith books, both of them again short story collections. I'll deal with what I think is the more extraordinary of the two in a subsequent post, but this one isn't half bad by itself:
A first edition of Tales of Natural and Unnatural Catastrophes, published in hardback by Bloomsbury in 1987, jacket design by husband and wife team Frances Newell and John Sorrell – latterly of design charity The Sorrell Foundation – with a cover illustration by Kurt Hoyte, who would go on to illustrate the covers of the 1989–90 Corgi reprints of six Jim Thompson novels. I acquired this copy for a very reasonable price from the secondhand department of Kirkdale Bookshop, a splendid bookshop in Sydenham in south London, not far from where I grew up in Beckenham, although I didn't on this occasion purchase the book in the shop itself; I spotted it online. The inscription, in the spidery hand characteristic of Highsmith in her later years, is on the half title page, like so:
For Paul Joyce –
(glad you like this one) –
Best wishes from Patricia Highsmith
It's my belief that the Paul Joyce of the inscription is this Paul Joyce – photographer, filmmaker and artist. In 1989 Joyce directed a ninety minute documentary titled Motion and Emotion: The Films of Wim Wenders, for which he interviewed Highsmith about The American Friend, Wenders's 1977 adaptation of Ripley's Game (1974). The date of the inscription tallies with the production of Motion and Emotion, which in turn is two years on from the publication of Tales of Natural and Unnatural Catastrophes, so if I'm on the right track, that means this was either Highsmith's own copy of the book which she gave to Joyce when they met, or Joyce got her to inscribe his copy.
My suspicion – indeed my personal preference – is for the first scenario, because that would mean the book was in Highsmith's personal library for a couple of years before she handed it on, but either way, and bearing in mind I haven't seen Joyce's documentary, I wonder what the general drift of the conversation was that it should produce a wry comment like "glad you like this one". Did Joyce confess to not liking others of her books?
In any case, I can see just one other signed copy of the Bloomsbury edition of Tales of Natural and Unnatural Catastrophes for sale online at present – flat signed, and listed at £150. (There's also a flat signed copy of the 1989 Atlantic Monthly Press edition, listed at £60, which, incidentally, is still more than I paid.) So even if I've got my wires crossed as regards Paul Joyce, it's still quite a remarkable copy of the last collection of short stories to be published in Highsmith's lifetime (there have been a few posthumous collections).
And there are some diverting stories within its pages. Those only familiar with Highsmith's rep as a suspense or crime writer might be surprised by the breadth of the material herein, which ranges from a vignette of a cemetery where towering cancerous growths become a tourist attraction ("The Mysterious Cemetery") to a blow-by-blow account of a whale's war with mankind ("Moby Dick II; or the Missile Whale") to a Pope's attempts to introduce a woman's right to choose into the doctrine of the Catholic Church ("Sixtus VI, Pope of the Red Slipper").
Along the way there's the story of a New York tower block overrun by monster cockroaches ("Trouble at the Jade Towers"), a spot of mild speculative fiction embodied by a woman who lives for over 200 years, draining the resources – financial and emotional – of everyone around her ("No End in Sight"), and a truly apocalyptic climax centring on an American President and First Lady, clearly modelled on Ronald and Nancy Reagan, who distract attention from an Iran-Contra-like scandal by starting World War III ("President Buck Jones Rallies and Waves the Flag").
All this is delivered in typically dispassionate fashion by Highsmith, as she casts an acerbic eye over the world around her. Some of the stories are more memorable than others, and Highsmith's unrelenting misanthropy can become wearying; it's notable how practically the only protagonists who emerge with their dignity intact are those of the non-human variety. But there's no denying the sheer scope of the collection, Highsmith tackling themes as daunting as religion, politics, money, abortion and animal rights and setting her stories on stages as diverse as the USA, post-colonial Africa, South America and the high seas. Perhaps that's why Paul Joyce responded to this book more than others of Highsmith's.
I've added Tales of Natural and Unnatural Catastrophes to the Existential Ennui Patricia Highsmith First Edition Book Cover Gallery, but the second signed and inscribed Highsmith short story collection I'll be taking a look at is already represented in said gallery...

Go Take a Swim
Jerry, Curly and Moe' invite the National Park Service to a Swimming Party
By L.M. Schwartz
According to one resident, a county native, "Highland needs an Olympic swimming pool like I need another hole in my head."
Another disgruntled taxpayer concluded, "With Jerry, Curly and Moe running the county, Jerry will probably build a hotel and convention center next to his pool. And he'll heat it with electricity from a windmill."
These have been typical of comments from many people living far from the county's "Department of Yearly Tax Hikes." For them, there has been an obvious "disconnect" between county supervisors and the real world of Highland, where farmers, wage earners, small businesses and the elderly living on fixed incomes are becoming increasingly upset with what they believe is a lack of common sense in county government and an official attitude of arrogance, "to hell with what the people think."
One McDowell lady asked, "Who's going to use this pool? Who's going to pay for costly maintenance and lifeguards and other personnel? People come here to visit, vacation…for peace and quiet at weekend homes. They want to get away from things, not compete with screaming kids in a chlorinated, chemical laden-bathtub. Most residents don't have the time or money for this. How many kids and adults in the county will even use it during the few months it's open, especially if there are fees? We've got plenty of secluded streams and ponds where people can take a private dip, and it doesn't cost a penny."
Others have voiced suspicions about what they see as the real reasons for pushing the project. "It's intended to attract wealthy retired people to the county," according to a Head Waters area man. "It's for the benefit of a building contractor and a real estate agent, both sitting on the Board of Supervisors."
National Park Service administered "grant"—"strings" attached
But even if that is true, as bad as it may be, it's only half of the story. What county residents and taxpayers are not being told is the recreation complex/swimming pool would encumber county citizens with a substantial burden, in perpetuity—forever. The extent of the burden is an unknown.
The current plan for the facility hinges on a recently approved $110,000 "grant,"—federally administered by the National Park Service and funded through Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF).
And there are "strings" attached. Plenty of them.
From several years of public statements, it is clear one supervisor, Chairman Jerry Rexrode, has been the driving force pushing the recreation facilities project forward without the informed support and consent of most county residents.
In August, 2005, Supervisor Lee Blagg was presented with specific information about the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act, in particular Section 6(f)(3) of the Act which provides:
No property acquired or developed with assistance under this section shall, without the approval of the Secretary [NPS/Department of Interior], be converted to other than public outdoor recreation uses. The Secretary shall approve such conversion only if he finds it to be in accord with the then existing comprehensive statewide outdoor recreation plan and only upon such conditions as he deems necessary to assure the substitution of other recreation properties of at least equal fair market value and of reasonably equivalent usefulness and location.
In simple terms, if the LWCF "grant" is accepted, the citizens and taxpayers of the county will be required to use the land for recreation, and nothing else, forever. If, at some future date, due to unforeseen or changed circumstances, the land is needed for another purpose, the county would be required to seek approval from the Secretary of the US Department of Interior. And even if the Secretary would approve a change in the use of the land, county taxpayers would be required to "mitigate" the change by purchasing or substituting an equal and equivalent tract to be used for the same recreational purposes. In other words, the people of Highland would be "locked in" and would be required to pay for any changes.
The National Park Service also requires on-site inspections of all grant-assisted areas and facilities at least once in every five years. These inspections are done to assure the facilities are being used and maintained according to NPS standards. If standards are not met, the county would be forced to meet them, whether the county taxpayers could afford it or not.
In an August telephone conversation with Synthia Waymack, Grants Administrator, Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), it was made clear DCR Grant Manual 199�110 specifies as follows: "All recipients of grant funds for acquisition and/or development projects will be required to maintain and operate the funded area in perpetuity for outdoor recreation use." (Emphasis in the original)
While the county may hold nominal title to the property, its use would be mandated and administered by the National Park Service. The NPS would become an effective "co-owner" of the property with recorded deed restrictions. By signing a "Project Agreement," the county would be locked into a perpetual contractual agreement with the NPS and DCR—federal control of another tract of county land.
Supervisor Lee Blagg, who made a point of protesting the swimming pool project during his election campaign, has gone right along with the "program." Why has he not taken the above facts, presented to him in August, and in turn presented them to the public? Do the people of Highland deserve to understand the NPS mandates and conditions? Or is it official policy to purposely keep people in the dark?
On August 9th, Mr. Blagg stated to this writer he was not aware funds for the proposed "grant" were federal. He also stated he was not aware the NPS administered the "grant" or of the perpetual nature of the county's agreement. Yet he voted in favor of a Resolution which clearly acknowledges the federal funding source and commits the citizens of the county to meet all the federal and state "guidelines." Did Mr. Blagg read the County Resolution he voted for? Or was he told everything was OK and that he should just vote in favor of it because it was "a good deal?"
But there is even better news…
The supervisors, by Resolution of April 5, 2005, committed the county to pursuing what they term the "urgent needs within Highland County to develop park land and construct the Highland Pool." In the Highland Pool Project Grant Application, April 29, 2005, the Supervisors state:
…there are no local public recreational facilities offering swimming, hiking, jogging, walking and biking path, softball, baseball, tennis, basketball, soccer and track facilities in proximity to the Town of Monterey, the County seat…Highland's entire K-12 school complex uses a small playground and informal ball field—this is it. [The Stonewall Ruritan Club would likely take issue with this misleading statement.]
Few creeks, if any, provide a swimming source in Highland County…and even the rivers are only knee deep…key public services must be provided…and an aquatic therapy through the Highland Medical Center must be offered. (Emphasis added)
Under Section 8 of the Grant Application, Alternatives to the Proposed Action, the supervisors further state:
Perhaps the biggest alternative would be to do nothing—no Park, no Pool. Since the inception of this Project, this has simply not been an alternative…Simply put, a decision not to build a new public pool would leave no man made nor natural swimming opportunities in Highland County. This is unacceptable. (Emphasis added)
Highland County residents should be asking their Supervisors what their basis is for determining the swimming pool and recreation complex is an "urgent need." Was the approval of a commercial wind power project and "urgent need?" Are pending legal actions against the county an "urgent need?" Is tax relief for county property owners an "urgent need?" Many residents feel the most urgent need is for fiscal responsibility and accountability to voters and taxpayers.
As of mid-August, 2005:
The supervisors had not informed county citizens of any reasonably accurate long-term cost projections for maintenance and upkeep.
The Supervisors had not informed citizens of federal controls through the National Park Service.
There had been no definite plan proposed to raise the matching funds or to meet the perpetual costs of upkeep. There has been comment about private sources of matching funding, but no definite commitment approaching the $145,000 county match.
The Supervisors had not scheduled or conducted a public hearing or even a public informational meeting to consider major implications for county taxpayers and to hear from the public.
When asked if the county Recreation Commission, an official county commission appointed by the Supervisors, provides the county with a detailed, annual statement of revenues and expenditures, no public accounting was available from the County Administrator. Why is this information not available through county offices?
In Fiscal Year 2005 and in FY 2006, the Recreation Commission received $20,000 per year. In previous years, the amount was $16,500 per year. How have these local tax funds been spent? Or are they sitting in a "pool construction fund" to be pulled out of a hat as the commission's 'contribution'?
It is interesting to note Paragraph 7 of the Application for Federal Assistance. Chairman Rexrode, who signed the Application, certifies he:
Will establish safeguards to prohibit employees from using their positions for a purpose that constitutes or presents the appearance of personal or organizational conflict of interest, or personal gain.
There are 19 paragraphs (two pages) of Assurances of compliance with numerous federal statutes and regulations. The county would be held to these Assurances. What are the potential long-term costs of this commitment? Economically and practically?
The total capital investment for the park, roads and pool recreation complex, local and federal, is estimated to be $1,285,199 when completed. To say there will not be cost over-runs would be wishful thinking. Because the lion's share of the costs is from federal funds, Highlanders do not seem to be aware of the size of the project or the importance of potential liabilities.
The people of the county should not allow this project to get final approval without some concrete answers to these and many more questions. Recent interviews with numerous residents of the Stonewall District, conducted in preparation for the revision of the county Comprehensive Plan, overwhelmingly indicate disapproval of this plan. There are alternatives. It seems the Supervisors, under Mr. Rexrode's leadership, are unwilling to seriously consider the alternatives or the advice of citizens.

Posture correctors are meant to aid your body to maintain a good posture. Also, they help align your bones and muscles. On the other hand, your general posture is improved by maintaining the right posture for your spine. However, they are not only useful for healthy people or people who want to improve their postures, but also those with injuries.
Doctors highly recommend any patient with a clavicle injury to use them because they firmly hold back the shoulders as well as stabilize the collarbone. They can also aid in preventing shoulder, spinal, head and neck pains.
To help you effectively, these posture correctors allows you to adjust them to favor your body weight, spine, and body type. Let's take a close look at the 7 great health benefits of posture correctors.
Old age, without doubt, comes with back issues for most people. In severe cases, the aged person's spine changes shape thereby making them bend. Buying them a posture corrector and adjusting it to fit their body shape may help them stay upright, heal back pains as well as walk without problems.
Do you experience some pain on your back once in a while especially when you take a deep breath? As a result, you find it difficult to take a deep breath, right? That could be a sign of poor posture. The consequences are fatal because oxygen may not reach all your body tissues appropriately. Take control of your posture.
You realize that it is easy to change how you naturally look just by training yourself to walk in a particular posture. Teenagers have a habit of trying to walk in a bent posture, and at a later age, they realize it was not the best choice. You could be a victim. Efforts to return to the right posture may hit a dead rock. It would be best if you got something that will make it impossible for you to bend while you walk. Such is a posture corrector.
Within a few days, you should have the right appearance.
Sometimes even with a good seat, typing or writing for long hours sometimes makes it impossible to sit upright. As a result, your shoulders will often feel itchy. At times, the pain may become unbearable thus making it difficult to work. By using a posture corrector; your office hours will be more comfortable. In return, you will have consistent healthy working days.
A study shows that only 20% do not suffer from lower backache in their entire lives. Most people spend most of the time sitting down in offices. And while they are spending much time there, they neglect the need for a good posture. Eventually, they complain about lower backache. Anne the author of FreeYourSpine.info mentions that one the many causes of a back ache is poor posture as well as not having a good back support. You can prevent and control lower backache pains by wearing a posture corrector.
While you think that the only way to lower stress is passing by your nearest gym to break some sweat, the opposite is correct. You see, even if you do much exercise yet retain the wrong posture, you will still experience body pains on your back, neck, and head. We all know how stressful it feels when one or more body parts are in pain.
Not only so, maintaining a good posture is directly linked to relaxation and meditation which are an effective way of controlling stress.
Ridiculous? No, it is a fact. Have you tried to have your fist in your hips? Well, if you have not, let me tell you more. That pose is called superhero. This pose, according to science, leads to high levels of confidence which kills fears in a person. A posture corrector, too, boosts your confidence.
Sometimes your seating position may be the start of a poor posture. Maybe it is inheritance. It could also be as a result of some injuries. Whatever the reason, a posture corrector, just as the name implies will work magic in correcting your posture and giving you the right one. However, it may be very uncomfortable at first when you start using it, but with time you will get used to it.

Donald Trump to Swear on Two Bibles, Including Abraham Lincoln's, at Inauguration Ceremony
UMC agency gives grant to LGBT advocacy group despite ban on funding 'gay caucuses'
CP Politics | Tuesday, January 17, 2017
By Samuel Smith, Deputy Managing Editor
US President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn to office on Jan. 20. | REUTERS/Eric Thayer
President-elect Donald Trump will swear on two different Bibles during his inauguration ceremony at the United States Capitol on Friday, one of which will be the same Bible used by Abraham Lincoln during his first inauguration.
The Presidential Inauguration Committee announced on Tuesday that Trump, who will be sworn in as the 45th president, will use his own Bible and a Bible used by Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, when he took his first oath of office on March 4, 1861.
In addition, it was also announced that Chief Justice John Roberts will conduct Trump's swearing-in ceremony.
"In his first inaugural address, President Lincoln appealed to the 'better angels of our nature,'" PIC Chairman Tom Barrack said in a statement. "As he takes the same oath of office 156 years later, President-elect Trump is humbled to place his hand on Bibles that hold special meaning both to his family and to our country."
According to a press release, Trump's own Bible was given to him by his mother when he graduated from Sunday Church Primary School at First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, New York in June of 1955.
The Bible, which is a Revised Standard Version, was produced by Thomas Nelson and Sons in 1953 and has Trump's name embossed on the cover. The inside of the cover includes signatures from church officials and also highlights when it was presented to Trump.
Trump previously showed off his Revised Standard Version Bible in a campaign video in early 2016 that was designed to thank evangelicals for supporting his campaign.
"My mother gave me this Bible — this very Bible — many years ago," Trump explained in a video. "In fact, it's her writing right here (on the inside cover). She wrote my name and my address and it's just very special to me. I want to thank the evangelicals. I will never let you down."
The "Lincoln Bible" was originally purchased for Lincoln's first inauguration by Supreme Court clerk William Thomas Carroll and has been used for three different inauguration ceremonies, including Lincoln's inauguration in 1861 and President Barack Obama's inaugurations in 2009 and 2013.
The Bible is housed at the Library of Congress and received a special conservation treatment prior to Obama's inauguration, according to the Library of Congress website. The Bible is bound in burgundy velvet and has a gold-washed metal rim around the outside edges of the covers.
A representative from the Presidential Inaugural Committee told The Christian Post Tuesday that the Bibles will be closed and stacked on top of each other when Trump takes his oath of office.
Over the weekend, it was announced that Vice President-elect Mike Pence will be sworn in using the Reagan Family Bible, the same Bible that 40th President Ronald Reagan used to take his oaths of office. Friday will mark the first time since Reagan that the Reagan Family Bible will be used for an inauguration.
Additionally, Pence will have the Bible opened to 2 Chronicles 7:14.
The verse reads:
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
Pence's oath of office will be conducted by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
"It will be my honor to take the Oath of Office to defend our Constitution from a man who has dedicated his life to the same noble pursuit," Pence stated.

I just thought I would remind you all that I am devoted once again to my blogging! Not much has happened since my last post, but I just wanted to remind everyone that I am thinking about you and I miss and love you all!
I just wanted to let you know that just because you may have felt neglected for a while, I am still thinking about my devoted readers. Thanks again for reading and I will have something important to talk about in my next entry, I promise.
I was wondering how and what you were doing. Glad to hear from you. Is your car all fixed now?
Tell Jenn I'm still waiting for the recipe. She had my mouth all watering and now I need the recipe!!
It's about time Jordan! Glad to hear you are still alive and kicking. :) We miss you up here!

Foreclosure filings across the U.S. declined four percent in March from the previous month, and fell 17 percent from a year ago, according to the latest data from RealtyTrac.
Moreover, Q1 foreclosures were down 16 percent from a year ago.
"The low foreclosure numbers in the first quarter are not an indication that the massive reservoir of distressed properties built up over the past few years has somehow miraculously evaporated," said Brandon Moore, chief executive officer of RealtyTrac.
"There are hairline cracks in the dam, evident in the sizable foreclosure activity increases in judicial foreclosure states over the past several months, along with an increase in foreclosure starts in many judicial and non-judicial states in March. The dam may not burst in the next 30 to 45 days, but it will eventually burst, and everyone downstream should be prepared for that to happen — both in terms of new foreclosure activity and new short sale activity."
We went through RealtyTrac's data and ranked the 14 states with the highest foreclosure rates in March 2012.
Note: Rankings are based on the foreclosure rate, not total foreclosure filings. Foreclosure rate is defined as a foreclosure filing for 1 in every x homes. The number of foreclosure properties are for the month of March.
*Note: Actual decrease may not be as big because of the expiration of August 2009 law requiring notice of defaults (NODs) to be filed.


The IFS has helped me out with a bit of rough, heavily caveated number-crunching based on what Gordon Brown said yesterday about cuts.
Yes, he didn't say much, but he did say he wanted to protect rises in the minimum wage, rises in child tax credits, hospitals, schools and police numbers. And he said he would get the international aid budget to the target of 0.7 per cent of GDP.
Just factor in a few of those commitments – freezing the schools and NHS budgets (the closest we can get to a "hospitals" budget), growing the aid budget – and other budgets would have to be squeezed by something like 6 per cent a year or nearly 18 per cent over three years.
That excludes the cost of freezing the credits, the cost of the minimum wage and freezing the police budget. So it is a bit rough and ready and, of course, Gordon Brown didn't give concrete commitments yesterday.
But it gives you an idea of the pain that is squeezed elsewhere even when you so much as freeze one part of spending.

When I return to work I will miss all this blogging….it fills me with a sense of importance which my own career has been unable to do this last 40 years.
Where is Cathy Newman's blog site though, we can't reply and Jon must be fed up with us imbeciles giving our opinions in the lowest style prose around.
Just to say though ,They are CHUMPS Peter. So what Cathy ?
It's funny that they weren't 'chumps' when they backed Labour. See A Campbell's diaries.
I think Wilma it is not the dissapointment of the withdrawal of backing, it is the timing of that withdrawal of support which is overtly 'dirty tactics' but I am British and still cannot understand in my naiveity why fair play isn't ever present.
I honestly don't believe for a moment that either Gordon Brown or Alistair Campbell would have the slightest compunction in 'doing the dirty' in a way that might advantage them. I am Scottish and was a comprehensive school teacher in Glasgow for about 30 years. I know Scottish Labour and what they do and have done for many years up here- my disappointment is of long standing.
Everone knows that whoever gets in next time, there will be tough times ahead. Everyone it seems except Gordon Brown. He seems to be pushing ahead on "crisis, what crisis" mode, while the media is criticising the tories already, (who haven`t been in power since 1997…unlike Labour). Hopefully the Gen electio will be a re-run of the EU and local elections, with Labour coming in last!!!
Get `em out is my motto. It is time for fixed terms, a written British Constitution, and legal accountability of politicians, with a repael of all the draconian so called terror laws which prevent parents looking sfter their neighbours` children without being on a snoopers database.
Labour are still in the 19th Century. Communism died in 1989, somebody tell Gordon Brown!!!

Le Dreisamstadion (de 2014 à 2021 Schwarzwald-Stadion, anciennement, Badenova-Stadion, puis Mage Solar Stadion) est un stade de football situé à Fribourg-en-Brisgau en Allemagne, inauguré en 1954. Il a une capacité de  places, comprenant notamment la tribune où les supporters sont debout, la Nordtribüne, de  places. Avec l'Europa-Park-Stadion ouvert au public en 2021, c'est l'un des deux stades dans lesquels évoluent les équipes du SC Fribourg.

Histoire

Une des particularités de ce stade concerne ses tribunes, qui ne se trouvent qu'à un mètre derrière les buts, ce qui est unique en Europe. Deux centrales photovoltaïques d'une capacité de  kWh par an couvrent une grande partie de la demande énergétique du stade. Le plancher chauffant fonctionne dans le respect de l'environnement à l'aide de moteurs Stirling. Une autre est la pente du terrain puisqu'il y a un dénivelé d'un mètre entre les deux buts.

Un nouveau stade de  places, l'Europa-Park-Stadion situé près de l'aérodrome dans le quartier de Wolfswinkel, devait potentiellement être livré pour les matchs retour de la saison 2019-2020 mais a finalement été terminé à l'automne 2021 en raison de la pandémie de Covid-19. Lorsque l'équipe première du SC Fribourg prend possession du nouveau stade en octobre 2021, le Schwarzwald-Stadion est renommé Dreisamstadion et devient le terrain de jeu de l'équipe réserve et de l'équipe féminine du club.

Blake and I love both of our families dearly. We each lucked out with our in-laws and genuinely enjoy spending time with each other's families as well. We love them so much that between Christmases, weddings, a funeral, a couple of babies, and just because, one or both of us managed to make trips to points westward (Utah, Arizona, Washington) on eleven separate occasions to be with our families over the course of four years. This does not count the trips we made in those directions before we met.
Ultimately, as much as we love our families and friends in that part of the US, we were feeling a little travel weary. We certainly didn't regret any of those trips - a lot of them really worked out at excellent times, like when my nephew was born just before my fall break. We also appreciate the efforts some of our family was able to make in visiting the East Coast as well, whether in DC, New York, or Boston.
Even before we knew about Japan, we'd started discussing cutting back on our trips out west. All of our siblings are married, the first niblings on both sides had been born, and maybe it was time to start doing Christmas on our own. Fortunately, we found out we were moving to Japan and we quickly realized making frequent trips to the United States for every little thing was going to start being even more costly and time consuming.
So, we have decided that for the foreseeable future, we're not coming back to the States. If we have time off and money, we want to travel locally, and since we know planes work really well going West, it's time to convince our families to come visit us instead. Obviously, there may be reasons we will come back in the next three years (some we hope for, some we don't), but we will just have to see.
In the meantime, we have a three bedroom home now, so lots of room for guests! Especially right now since we hardly have any furniture! Or anything at all!
Once we made that decision though, we knew it would be nice to make a twelfth and final (for now) trip to Utah and Arizona. Since we had the time, we took a week at the end of July and did just that.
Chick-Fil-A Day! Free meals for those dressed as cows.
I was honored to help paint our niece's nails.
I had taken Blake around BYU for the first time over Christmas, but failed to introduce him to the Creamery. We rectified that situation.
Went to Sombrero Night at the Arizona Diamondbacks game with Blake's best friend and his wife, who has become one of my dearest friends.
I love the saguaro at my in-law's new house!
We also held Sayonara (insert state here)! events at both of our parents' houses (and later at a park in Virginia) to give us a chance to bid as many friends and family members farewell as possible. We are blessed with too many people wonderful people in our lives to get to spend really good time with all of them during short trips, so we're grateful to connect with them however we can!
Other highlights of the trip include going out to a Japanese restaurant with my family, visiting with just my grandma and taking Blake to visit Grandpa's grave and both of us seeing the beautiful headstone together, a puppet show from our adorable nieces, and a lot of laughter and good food and family time all around.
Now it's everyone else's turn to come and visit us!
Traveling and staying put both have their advantages and seasons. We've enjoyed doing both.


PAC is pleased to announce the latest version of its advanced laboratory instrument data integration software, IRIS Software v2.0. IRIS Software provides customers the advantage of connecting their PAC laboratory instruments, locally or worldwide, and managing these instruments, including gathering and analyzing test data, as well as communicating results. This latest version includes several feature enhancements which make it easier to use and install, as well as more compatible with typical LIMS systems.
With the enhanced installer and configurator, it is now more straightforward and intuitive to install the software and configure the connected instruments. In addition, a new instrument discovery dialog makes it easy for users to find all the instruments connected to the software. IRIS is fully compatible with the latest revisions of MS Windows®.
"IRIS Software was designed to meet our client's needs for increasing lab efficiency by providing the same software to manage numerous instruments, "said Eef Klok, PAC Vice-President of Product Management and Marketing. "To help our customers maximize efficiency, we have been continuously adding new plugins to IRIS. We currently offer 15 of the most frequently utilized PAC lab instruments, including the Herzog OptiDist, ISL PMD 110, AC Analytical Controls® Reformulyzer® M4, and ISL VIDA."
ISL PMD 110 is now approved for use in the ASTM Reference Standard D1655 for Aviation Fuels. ASTM recently added ASTM D7345, the PMD Method, to the jet fuel reference standard, D1655 as an alternative to ASTM D86. ASTM D7345 is the "Standard Test Method for Distillation of Petroleum Products at Atmospheric Pressure (Micro Distillation Method)".
Based on an innovative micro-distillation method, the PMD 110 determines the boiling range characteristics of any commercially available petroleum product, including light and middle distillates, in less than 10 minutes and using only 10 ml of sample. Thanks to its compact, robust, and portable design, the PMD 110 is easily installed in mobile or on-site laboratories.
The PMD 110 is in perfect correlation with ASTM D86 (groups 0-4), ISO 3405 (groups 0-4), IP 123, and D1160 (for Biodiesel B100). With its automated features, such as built-in calibration, automatic sample detection, and an automatic pass/fail notification makes the PMD 110 one of the easiest distillation instruments on the market.
PAC has over 50 years of experience in developing automatic flash point analyzers for petroleum products, biodiesels, solvents, fluxed bitumen, food, and beverages. This newest edition is enhanced by being simpler to use, easier to clean, and safer to operate. The OptiFlash detects flash points up to 400°C and complies to leading global standards, such as ASTM D93, ISO 2719, EN ISO 2719, IP 34, JIS K2265, and GB/T 261.
With the OptiFlash's intuitive user interface and built-in automation, users can now easily start a test without having to spend time doing manual tasks like installing the flash point and temperature sensors, as well as installing the test cup for each test. Its innovative design also makes it much easier to clean allowing the user to not only disassemble the cup cover without any tools but also to clean highly viscous samples, like bitumen. This improves the reliability of the test results significantly since customers can now run a quick clean before running any new sample.
"Determining the flash point of a product can be a dangerous test to run just due to its nature. With this in mind, PAC made sure to instill the highest safety standards into the new OptiFlash. With its ultra fast optical flame detector, the OptiFlash is the only instrument that can now detect a fire or even small flames in an extended range around the test cup," says Eric Schellenberger, PAC President.
This new instrument replaces the previously released PAC flash point instruments, the Herzog HFP 339, Herzog HFP 360, and ISL FP93 5G2.
ISL Houillon Viscometers, the VH1 and VH2, comply with the recently released revised version of ASTM D7279-14 Standard, "Standard Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids by Automated Houillon Viscometer".
The new revision of the standard extends the scope from lubricating oils to include distillates (e.g., base oils, formulated oils, fuels, and biodiesel) and also adds a new precision at 40°C and 100°C, established through an interlaboratory study.
Our customers can now run their distillate oil samples on the VH1 and VH2 while complying with ASTM D7279. Requiring less than 1 ml of sample, the Houillon approach is applicable to both transparent and opaque samples, while needing less manpower to run. Since the kinematic viscosity results are produced within 60 seconds, the ASTM D7279 method has proven to be ideal for rapid testing of in-service engine oil conditions.
In addition to small sample size and fast analysis, the ISL Houillon Viscometers are easy to operate, flexible due to the capability to accommodate one or two solvents for cleaning, and robust in construction. Finally, the single-bath design, including 4 Houillon tubes, combined together with advanced automatic features, enable the simultaneous run of up to 16 tests.
The 393 sensor's new design is configurable to the end user's needs; it has numerous industry standard process connection options, including ANSI, DIN, and RTJ flanges. With these new connections, it is easy to install CVI's patented sensor technology in petrochemical plants and refineries, including hazardous areas.
CVI's technology is based on the oscillating piston method, which has only one moving part with no mechanical linkages. The sensor electromagnetically drives a piston through a fluid in a controlled measurement chamber at a constant force. Proprietary circuitry analyzes the pistons two-way travel time to measure the absolute viscosity. The sensor is constructed of all 316L stainless steel and the piston is constantly mixing the sample and scrubbing the measurement chamber clean.
PAC developed the newly released ASTM D7668 "Standard Test Method for Determination of Derived Cetane Number (DCN) of Diesel Fuel Oils—Ignition Delay and Combustion Delay Using a Constant Volume Combustion Chamber Method" for the PAC Herzog CID 510. It provides highly accurate Derived Cetane Number (DCN) analysis for diesel fuels with excellent correlation to the CFR Engine.
As part of the method development process, ASTM and the Energy Institute conducted an extensive interlaboratoy study in March of 2013. In the ILS, 17 laboratories participated from the United States and Europe to compare the cetane number determined with the referee method, ASTM D613 (CFR Engine Technology) and the derived cetane number determined with the ASTM D7668 (CID 510). The precision of the CID 510 (ASTM D7668) from the ILS study is much better than traditional CFR Engine technology (ASTM D613), as well as other CVCC instruments (ASTM D7170 and ASTM D6890). In addition to high precision, the CID 510 provides excellent correlation to the mean value of the CFR Engine.
PAC pioneered the IP 599 method, "Determination of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) in aviation turbine fuel - Gas Chromatography using heart-cut and refocusing", that was recently approved and published by the Energy Institute (EI). As part of the approval process, EI conducted an in-depth interlaboratory study that included 8 laboratories from Europe and Canada analyzing the samples via this method. The precision, as calculated by the Energy Institute, exceeds the known statements for competing technologies such as IP 583 (IR), IP 585 (GC-MS) and IP 590 (HPLC) methods.
PAC developed this new method after its AC FAME in AVTUR analyzer, a unique gas chromatography analyzer combining deans-switching and re-focusing. It provides accurate quantitative data on individual and Total FAME components in the range of C16 to C18 with the option to analyze C14 FAME which is a marker for the presence of lower chain methyl esters such as those produced from coconut oil. This innovative method is specified for the range of approximately 3.5 to 116 mg /kg FAME; this is sufficient to meet the 5 mg/kg lower limit defined in DEF STAN 91-91 and ASTM D1655.
PAC's AC Analytical Controls Reformulyzer M4 fully complies with the recently released revision of the multi-dimensional GC method EN ISO 22854 method, "Liquid petroleum products — Determination of hydrocarbon types and oxygenates in automotive-motor gasoline and in ethanol (E85) automotive fuel -- Multidimensional gas chromatography method", from CEN and ISO.
The main changes in this new method from the previous version are the addition of nitrogen as alternative carrier gas to helium, an update of the response factors for ethanol and ETBE, and an inclusion of a 2nd procedure that enables operators to analyze high ethanol fuels (E85) by using a dilution step. This allows the reporting of ethanol, ethers, and higher alcohols in fuels containing between 50% and 85% ethanol as this may be requested in future E85 specifications. The method is fully harmonized with the latest version of ASTM D6839, which was published in 2013.
PAC released the Reformulyzer M4, which determines full group type analysis of gasoline and gasoline blend streams using multi-dimensional gas chromatography, in September of last year. It is the fastest and most flexible analyzer on the market to combine analysis for Paraffins, Olefins, Naphthenes, Oxygenates, and Aromatics in one instrument.
