In the whole counter of radar watch, I saw almost all kinds of watches. This watch is the most in my eyes. I dont know why. This watch is made of steel and ceramic materials, but its not easy to distinguish from each other in appearance. Its very beautiful in appearance. The color displayed by dark polishing is more technical than that produced by metal polishing itself. In fact, what attracts me is the dial, which is very simple and clear. The time is very clear. The red fingertip pointer in the center is only used for 24 hours. Therefore, this watch is a dual time zone watch, which can be adjusted only through the crown. The 24-hour and date instructions can use the same crown gear. The weight of the watch is moderate, not light but not heavy, so I am quite impressed.
Every year, many brands will launch the zodiac wristwatch, and the golden carving and enamel technology of Jiang shidanton can make the theme so vivid. At the same time, its greater highlight is that without a pointer, it can clearly indicate the time, minute, date and week, thus maintaining the integrity of the dial picture, and the pointer often affects the beauty of the dial. This is the greatest contribution of the 2460 G4 movement core of jiangshidanton. This movement core has been finely decorated and obtained the Geneva mark certification. The 22 karat gold automatic pendulum has exquisite lines and the fine luster polished by the movement core makes people marvel at the charming charm of precision watch making.

The disappearance of OiNK from the filesharing community is going to have major and far-reaching implications. HTTP filesharing indexing sites like shareminer.com will become more popular; this may lead to legal action against some of the sites it points to.

For me it was Pavement -- "Wowee Zowee" and "Slanted & Enchanted." I wanted to get some of the other Pavement albums that I liked too, but I didn't get around to it.
They were, as has been said, "The last group who knew everything"- and if they did not know quite everything they could distract your attention from the gap by a wry witticism. There were their strange songs, any one of which could have made a lesser band's career and each of which had the knack of standing the accepted doctrines on their head. There was their polysyllabic language and their slow acid style that corroded the sanctities. There were their conce, with their mumbled messages which only the better souls understood. There was the way they looked: shaggy eyebrows, ashen faces with unforgettable eyes, rough clothes that hung too loosely on their shrunken bodies, a shell of silence into which they seemed to have retreated for good and from which only the most persistent strategy could draw them.

Now, maybe the way I defined this problem doesn't exactly make sense, but hopefully you still understand what I'm getting at. I think different people define this feeling differently.
Some work through it with uppers or a general bitterness toward the night.  Those who do it with uppers probably do it well.
For those of us that don't decide to work through it, what sort of excuse do we give our companions who may have been expecting our company on the night in question?
Me, I'm slightly superstitious in this way, but I'm not in the right category of irrational thought to believe the type of shit I just wrote about. Most of the time, anyway. With me it's usually more along the lines of a feeling of tiredness with whatever "scene" it is that I'm wrapped up in at the time. I need to recharge and spend time away so that when I go back, I'm actually able to enjoy it and feel dynamic -- so that I'm able to avoid feeling that everything is the same.
Stagnation is everywhere, and it's only in hiding from it and reintroducing ourselves to it, that it can truly keep us interested.

Where you attack an enemy does not effect how much damage they takee the spy's backstab -- but then again, that isn't even really in the same category as other melee attack as it does no damage -- it's just an instant kill. This gameplay mechanic might be extended to other weapons too, of course, with the exception of the sniper's rifle that can get a headshot which again, is an instant kill and outside of the scope of other attacks. When considering the damage other weapons do it's important to consider how "direct" of a hit you get. The scout's primary weapon is obviously going to do more damage if you're hit by every pellet in his shot. The soldier's rockets will do more damage if the person is hit dead-on by them as opposed to just being hurt by the "splash damage" from the explosion.
Scout has the fastest weapon, but it is the weakest -- there is a tradeoff here. Average damage is about 30.
Some classes may have damage ranges that are higher or lower than others, and these may be dependent on the speed of attack or other factors yet unknown, or maybe even no factors at all -- just Valve's choice.
In the future we could learn a lot more about the mechanics of this game with similar tests. We will need larger data sets to give truthful estimates of the range of damage of each weapon, and we should use the melee attack sound effect in combination with a time measurement piece as a metric to see just how fast each attack is. This is a really rich and well balanced game and I'd like to spend as much time as possible learning the secrets behind its mechanics -- if no one beats me to it.
I started thinking about this a few days ago when a friend asked me why I use Linux, and then I thought a little more just a few hours ago when my hard drive light was on, solid, and I was (incredibly slowly, because my computer's performance had dropped with the constant hard drive access) trying to figure out how to get it to stop doing that.
I often compare computers to cars because I know little about cars except how to use them, but I know a whole lot about using and maintaining computers. I find it to be an apt analog for most of the scenarios I discuss.
My new, slightly altered stance on Linux: it's remarkably usable for the "average Joe" if he doesn't get ahead of himself. It is likely to be remarkably frustrating for the same person if he decides he wants everything his geeky/gearhead friend has, though. Joe might want to ignore his friend's higher level advice until he's good and ready to dive into something different.

My new, hackish solution is just to use Sonata and keep it minimized in the notification area. Sonata is simply a GTK2 front end to MPD (a nice one too), but it's graphical, and right now I'm not really into graphical for MPD -- I enjoy controlling my music with the keyboard, so I use ncmpc. Sonata is unobtrusive in the notification area, and it understands multimedia commands. Plus, I can look at the album's cover art easily with Sonata always handy.
Problem solved fixed.

design, knitters, knitting, YOKES!Angora, Bohus, Bohus Stickning, desing, EJA, Emma Jacobsson, gift, Kerstin Olsson, knitting
The day before Christmas eve a wonderful package arrived from Sweden. This was inside. Kerstin Olsson – who you may remember I had the pleasure of meeting a few months ago, and about whose important work for Bohus Stickning I devoted a chapter to in my Yokes book – had done me the honour of knitting me a scarf!
Oh my! And this was not just any scarf! For Kerstin had knitted this lovely gift from original Bohus Stickning yarns — the same yarns with which she knit and designed during the company’s heyday in the 1960s.
An awful lot of work went into developing and maintaining the production of Bohus Stickning yarns such as EJA (Emma Jacobsson Angora). The dye palette was rich and varied, and, to meet Emma’s exacting standards, the spinning, blending, and handle of the fibres had to always be of the very highest quality.
When I visited Göteborg, Kerstin showed me some Bohus Stickning shade cards. Handling them, I was astounded both by the quality of the yarns and the sheer richness of the palette: the vast number of shades the company produced was really pretty astounding. These yarns and palette were Kerstin’s raw materials. It was their quality and variety that allowed her to experiment so successfully with colour, shade, and texture, and to create her wonderful yoke designs, alive with hazy, shimmering hues.
Kerstin’s aesthetic is clearly evident in this fabulous scarf! When I took it out of the bag Tom immediately exclaimed how wonderful the colours were – and they really are.
The scarf features several beautifully blended pinks and browns as well as some very pleasing highlights of pale turquoise and tangerine.
It is just so lovely. I am pretty overwhelmed.
Kerstin also kindly included some wee twists of yarn in her package – for repairs.
As a knitter, I’m often prompted to reflect on the meanings invested in acts of making, giving and receiving, and as a researcher, I often find that objects that interest me carry a sort of numinous significance . . . .Well, as both knitter and researcher, I can tell you that this beautiful gift, from an incredible designer and artist, created with these wonderful fifty year-old yarns really means an awful lot to me. I was deeply moved when I opened the package and am so very, very happy with my scarf!
Thankyou so much for this precious gift, Kerstin. I feel very honoured indeed to receive it, and shall always treasure it.
So, as December draws to a close, farewell, 2014, and thankyou all for reading! Its been lovely to share this year with you!

this is a lovely story, very special
Overwhelming on all levels – lucky lucky you, but lucky Kerstin, too, to have you so appreciative!
PS the coat is wonderful, too!!
Yes I’m loving the coat too. Everything in this post is just beautiful – the gift, the pictures, the writing, the appreciation from you and your readers. Thank you and Happy New Year!
Beautiful! What a lovely gift. Happy New Year!
it is not only thoughtful and generous and the passing of the torch, it is very beautiful as it is. thank you for earning it, thank her for making it, and thank you for sharing it with us. it is a precious gift to all of us. got jul and happy new year.
Happy 2015 Kate!!! Your new scarf is very special indeed! What a touching gift! And I love how it looks so different from the things you knit for yourself. Happy new year and lots of love to you , Tom and Bruce.
The colors in that scarf are truly scrumptious! What a fabulous gift, and how beautifully it suits your elegant sense of style, Kate.
I send you and yours best wishes for a very Happy New Year. xo

This is an wonderful gift, so precious! And you are the most adequate person to receive it.
Since I’ve seen the” Wild Apple ” pullover from Kerstin Olsson in this blog, I wanted to knit one myself . Then I have found by Ravelry that Solveig Gustafsson sells a beautiful Angora yarn dyed following the original Bohus pallette. They also sells kits and I am now knitting my own Wild Apple . The yarn is so lovely and beside this, the producers iniciate and promote a non-suffering programm for rising the Angora rabbits, that I find very important.
Thank you for beeing with us trough the year, best wishes for 2015
(Sorry, this is poor english)

That is just stunning – how wonderful it would be if some manufacturer would recreate these beautiful yarns. I’m sure there are sufficient number of us enthusiastic knitters to make it worth their while. Also thoroughly enjoying the yokes book, kindly bought for me by my son.
What a truly precious gift and a wonderful combination with your hat and coat! I have enjoyed your blog this year and I am really looking forward to what is to come in 2015! All the Best to You, Tom and Bruce. Dankeschön!
Numinous and luminous. What a perfect gift. Happy New Year!
what a wonderful, beautiful gift!
What a beautiful and very thoughtful present.
Thank you for your company this last year.
I have especially enjoyed seeing regain so much of your health.
May 2015 be amazing for you, Tom & Bruce, of course :-)
I just love that she included little bits of yarn for future mending! Not only does it show a special connection between makers, and to the history of the craft, but it also shows she means it to be really worn and used, even to the point that it needs repairing. And that, I think, is the best part, not only to have a beautiful handmade object, but to use it, and appreciate it as you do. How lovely! Happy New Year, and all the best in 2015!
Breathtaking. Wishing you and your family the best in 2015. Thank you for sharing.
a story as lovely as the gift!
What a gift to treasure! How utterly beautiful it is.
What a wonderful gift, so beautiful, the colors are amazing!
How entirely beautiful….. as you say, the scarf symbolises all that you treasure in textiles. It connects to so much in so many ways, both personally and collectively, and is a lovely connection point between you and Kerstin… this is why we knit. Happy New Year xxx
December 29, 2014 at 10:53 pm
Such a precious gift… Absolutely stunning color palette. You look beautiful, Kate!
Such a very beautiful gift from one thoughtful creative soul to another. What a joy to see….. Have a very Happy Hogmanay!
A lovely gift, well bestowed and well deserved.
Simply gorgeous. You deserve it. I don’t often comment, but I love your work and follow your blog religiously.
Kate, I don’t think I have ever seen you look as beautiful as you do in these photos. The scarf is glowing with light….and so are you. Thank you, once again, for sharing with all of us.
With love and gratitude, Dixie Myers
What a beautiful gift! The colours are indeed wonderful. I read Poems of Color earlier this year and I can imagine how precious it must feel to receive a gift like this as a testimonial to the important work Bohus Stickning did.
It was a joy to read your blog this year. I wish you, Tom, Bruce and Jesus a very happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Kate.
Beautiful! What a lovely friend. It is,as if, she is giving you a warm hug every time you wear this treasure .
This scarf is incredily beautiful, the colors are so deep and vibrant. I love the diagonal stripes. A really unique gift.
It’s very beautiful 😊
December 29, 2014 at 7:18 pm
Kate…who better to receive such an amazing gift..you who has such a respect for history, fibre and design..you give so much …so shall you receive..many good wishes for the new year
Enjoy wearing your most beautiful scarf which was knit with love. This scarf will keep you very warm this winter. A true treasure of beauty and love. This scarf is simply delicious!
Such a wonderful gift like that cannot be beatenby some mass produced item I matter what the price might be. The scarf is very beautiful. I gave my eldest daughter a Johull mantle knitted from your new book at Christmas. I used the same colours as the original one . Michaela was so happy with it and I must say it looked perfect on her. Thank you Kate for all your hard work producing such great patterns for me to knit. On my needles now is the Puffin jumper from your Shetland book(for the same daughter) . I wish you and Toma very Healthy and happy new year
December 29, 2014 at 7:06 pm
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and learnings through the year. I looking forward to reading each one of your blogs and this is no exception. It’s so refreshing to see nice things happening to nice people. Your new scarf is so scrumptious looking!
It looks absolutely yummy and snuggly-toastie!
December 29, 2014 at 6:43 pm
What a treasure! It’s beautiful. You deserve it.
I’m just gobsmacked! She striped that herself, didn’t she? No one but a knitter could know how special is this gift from one talented fiber artist to another.
What a precious and beautiful gift, and how lovely it looks with your white coat against the bright Winter light.
the colors just glow! beautiful scarf and a real treasure
What a wonderful gift to celebrate the New Year. Happy 2015 to you, Tom & Bruce.
A fabulous gift in such wonderful colours. Happy New Year to you and yours.
Oh Kate! You lucky lady! That colour combination is so evocative of that era to me. I am green with envy. Such a fantastic gift. 2015 has much to live up to, it’s gonna be GREAT!
what a beautiful and thoughtful gift. I have certainly enjoyed seeing your corner of the world this past year. Hearing of your designing endeavors as well as challenges and triumphs. I wish for you and your two guys – the best possible new year to come full of health and happiness.
What a precious and amazing thing. I hope you realize it’s because you are an spiritual knitting guide for us and your respect for the process and the history of our craft is an inspiration … you follow in the footsteps of those who have come before – like Emma. It’s a mantle not a scarf! Thank you. And Kerstin.
Oh my word! What a tribute. I only like to knit for someone who really understands – and if Kerstin thinks as I do, then this is a real mark of respect. Those 50 year old fibres are unique and finite.
You must feel very special – you certainly should.
Have a lovely 2015 – thank you so much for being!
It’s a beautiful scarf. All the very best to you and yours in 2015.
All the best for 2015. What a wonderful scarf, such a honour!
A truly beautiful scarf – the colours are stunning. Also, I just wanted to wish you and yours all the very best for the coming year and to say thank you for all your inspirational designs and interesting blogs throughout 2014 x
A perfect gift, an instant heirloom! You deserve it and well done to Kerstin for her generosity. Kate, did Kerstin say where she sourced her angora from? I am finding it hard to read some of the current media releases from animal welfare organisations, and angora is making the headlines in particular. Hope you don’t mind my flagging this up, I know you have great integrity in all that you do and I just wondered what your views are on these issues.
December 30, 2014 at 5:33 pm
I don’t think anyone responded to Rosey’s question, so I’m going to chime in here. The angora in this scarf is probably 50 years old (from Kerstin Olsson’s private Bohus stock). I’m not sure where Emma Jacobsson sourced her angora yarn for Bohus, but I imagine that it was produced in Europe if not locally in Sweden (PETA’s recent upsetting videos are of Chinese angora farms).
If you are worried about present day angora production, though, here’s a really thoughtful and well-written blog post on the subject: http://blog.loveknitting.com/angora-wool-is-it-cruel/ I love the video of the woman spinning directly from the bunny in her lap!
Responsible companies that sell yarn or knitwear should be able to tell you about the conditions in which it is farmed and produced. That’s true of all fibers, animal or vegetable. As consumers, we should also be responsible and ask questions and support good practices with our patronage.
Congratulations on your oh-so-gorgeous scarf, Kate! I was trying to determine how many shades of yarn it includes – maybe 12 or 14? I am slowly making progress on a Braid Hills cardigan (just had to take out 6 inches of knitting on the back section as I didn’t decrease enough stitches at the armscyes – ack!) and poring over my Yokes book, trying to choose my next project. I wish that I had a parallel life in which I could spend all my time knitting…
Thanks very much Emma. Kate has responded also, and I have been offline for a bit, so please see my further comments below.
Hi Rosey, yarn provenance and treatment of yarn-producing animals is paramount to me, and this is why I try to use verifiably ethical UK producers whenever possible in my designs. If I were using angora today, I’d certainly ask a producer about the conditions under which yarn was sourced – but as the yarns in this scarf are now over fifty years old I can’t comment on the conditions of production. I do know that Bohus Stickning originally sourced their fibres in Sweden and Finland, and that the new Bohus kits being produced by Solveig and Pernille with Bohuslan museum use angora yarns raised from Pernille’s own rabbits who are certainly well treated!
Hi Kate, thanks very much for your reply. I’m sorry for my delay in acknowledging it. I completely understand the issue of provenance of ‘old’ yarns, and it is great to hear what you have to say about your views. I share them entirely, and please can I urge all the knitters out there to check carefully that they know where their yarns come from, and how the animals are treated, and not to be fobbed off when the larger companies claim that they know under what conditions their yarns are produced. Thanks … Rx
A fabulous gift. Wonderful colours. The first pic reminds me of a scene from Jane Eyre..

Just gorgeous. I’d love to see those color cards. What a beautiful way to preserve this tradition.
Such a beautiful scarf!! I can see the angora haze in some of the pictures. I really enjoyed reading about Kerstin and her work in Poems Of Color. What a precious and thoughtful gift.
It is breathtaking. What a treasure.
Magnificent gift. Truly lovely.
May 2015 be a good year for you Tom and Bruce.
Stunning. In all aspects!

Kenya to construct US $30m modern Gikomba market
The government of Kenya has set aside US $30m for the construction of a modern Gikomba market, the region’s biggest open-air market in bid to prevent perennial fires such as the last fire incident that left 16 dead and at least 60 injured and provide a safer and better environment for traders.
These plans and restrictions came in the thick of rumors that the frequent fire outbreaks were an act of arson to grab the land where the market sits. However, the traders defied the government’s directive and threatened to hold protests against the order arguing that the government has not found an alternative land for them.

What is Your Favourite Bruce Willis film?
You are quite welcome :) I'm glad I could. I like Bruce Willis, he's a very good actor. I realized that though back when he was still on tv. No it wasn't on "Moonlighting" but on an episode of the "New Twilight Zone". He played a guy who had a doppleganger taking over his life and as the doppleganger got stronger he faded away. It was an excellent episode and really showed his acting ability. Did you know for "Look Who's Talking" he didn't get a salary?
Isn't it strange. People say discussions are getting fewer responses recently and yet this discussion had not responses for 6.1/2 months and now it has lots today!I just saw Bruce in Mercury Rising. Does anybody know how they either managed to get an autistic child to act or a child to act as autistic?
the best one...hmm..the sixth sense. he played really good..the ending was unexpectedly surprising!
I like the same as yours, but I like 12 monkeys, it was a rare movie, and Bruce Willis was brilliant on it. I'd like too the movie he did for Disney, I can't remember the exact name, he was a publicist and his past come to the present in the way of a boy...
the die hard series from 1-3, and probably the 4th installment too. there's no other actor for john mcclane but only bruce willis!
I enjoyed 'unbreakable' because the plot was carried very nicely. It didn't follow the usually celluloid path to superhero-dom. I also enjoyed Last man Standing. I feel for Brucie, I would like to see him b!
For me it has to be Unbreakable. I had not heard of this film and when I watched it it really moved me for some reason. Maybe because it was out of the ordinary?It is quite a strange film and nothing Bruce Willis had done before. If you haven't seen it it is worth seeing!

SBC ethnic congregations up 66 percent since 1998
ALPHARETTA “Tto more than half of the total number of churches in our county in the past 10 years.”
The diversification of the convention comes at a time when the United States as a whole is growing more diversfrom 1998 to 2011 has predominantly come from an 82.7congregations.
Fthe SBC has become very personal.
“I remember at one time I was the only [African American pastor] in my city who was Southern Baptist,” Luter said. “I caught a lot of flack as a result of that. Thank God I’m able to see some of the fruit of my labor—not only at my particular church but in the associations and conventions across the country.”
Hispanic congregations
Non-Anglo congregations now account for nearly 20 percent of SBC congregations. In 1998 they were 13.4 percent of total congregations. In 1990 about 5 percent of SBC congregations were primarily non-Anglo.
“We are grateful to God for this diversity,” said Ken Weathersby, NAMB’“I—regardless of ethnicity and race.”
Despite the growing diversity of SBC congregations, there are still a vBC presence among them. Mark Hobafcovich, NAMB’s national coordinator for church mobilization, points to the Albanian people as an example. He says there are more than 500,000 Albanians in the United States but no SBC congregations and only one evangelical church among them.

Threat modeling, loosely-described, is a design process by which you examine your software application design through the eyes of the bad guys, in order to determine what your design needs to take into consideration and how it should be built to protect against malicious threats. From the design phase you take your documented threat model into development and use it as a living document throughout the development lifecycle. Or at least that's how we did it.
If you're a software developer, tester or product manger and you don't know what threat modeling is and how it works, you're missing out on something that really should be required in this day and age. So here is what you should do:

Supergrass convictions face legal challenges
Murder and police corruption convictions fast-tracked to appeal court as questions are raised about reliability and the cost of cultivating criminals

A series of supergrass convictions are being investigated for possible legal challenges
In one of a string of casecareer criminal who was accused of murder turned supergrass on the eve of his jury trial. Damon Alvin went on to provide uncorroborated evidence which convicted another man for the killing.
The use of Alvin was unique, prosecutors said, the first case where a murder charge had been dropped against a defendant who went on to give testimony that jailed another man for life.
Essex police refused to comment on the issue.
The Alvin case is being investigated by the CCRC for possible referral to the court of appeal amid claims that the whole system of using such witnesses is so discredited as to be unworkable.
The commission is also examining three convictions ofon the basis of supergrass evidence.
The CCRC has fast-tracked their inquiries into these convictions, such is the concern over their safety.
The Guardian understands at least two more murder convictions are shortly to be submitted to the commission in applications that focus on the unreliability of evidence from criminal supergrasses.
Karen Todner, who represents the three former police officers, said: "I think there should be court of appeal guidelines on supergrass evidence. The use of such evidence has now been so discredited that I don't think there should be any future prosecutions that solely rely on it."
The new challenges come after a senior police officer likened the use of supergrasses to "dancing with the devil" and follow the collapse last year of three high- profile cases which cost tens of millions.
The man convicted on his evidence, Ricky Percival, 32, has been protesting his innocence for six years. He passed a lie detector test in prison last year and has passed the results to the CCRC.
The CCRC is fast-tracking an examination into the convictions of three former Metropolitan police officers, Thomas Kingston, Thomas Reynolds and Terance O'Connell, who were jailed over drug-related corruption in the south-east regional crime squad. The legitimacy of supergrass evidence is central to their case.
During an anti-corruption inquiry by the Met, Kingston and Reynolds were convicted in 2000 of conspiracy to supply a class B drug while O'Connell on evidence provided by another officer who turned supergrass, Neil Putnam. Putnam had pleaded guilty to drugs offences for which he received a reduced sentence in return for his testimony.
The collapse of the case against two other officers was one of the high-profile failed supergrass prosecutions last year. Christopher Drury and Robert Clark were cleared of corruption charges after the Crown Prosecution Service abandoned their retrial when a drug dealer who had given evidence against them rescinded her testimony.
Eve Fleckney, who testified against Clark and Drury at their first trial when they were jailed for 10 and eight years for drugs offences, said she had no recollection of any criminality involving the two former detectives. Fleckney told the court that anti-corruption officers had threatened her with a long prison sentence unless she co-operated. "Sometimes they would be nice and sometimes horrible. They'd shout. I felt under threat. They controlled my life." Clark and Drury are now seeking compensation and damages from the Met.
Last year a £30m case against three men forwas brought down after evidence from three supergrass witnesses was found to be dangerous and totally unreliable. The star witness, Gary Eaton, a career criminal with psychiatric problems and convictions for bribing police, blackmail and firearms offences, was found to be a pathological liar. The trial judge ruled he had been "prompted and coached" by a senior police officer in the case.
An attempt by the CPS to use Eaton in a separate trial for conspiracy to murder failed when another judge ruled he was "not just unreliable, but highly dangerous".
Kevin Winter, a lawyer with close knowledge of the use of such witnesses, said there remained serious concerns about the supergrass process. "These people are ultimately self-serving and self-motivated," he said.
"Many are alleged criminals themselves whose credibility, integrity and reliability are very much suspect and subject to all sorts of concerns. The whole notion of relying solely on that person's testimony to send someone to prison for a very long time raises matters of great concern.
"There has to be the greatest scrutiny given to testing that individual and their credibility, the integrity of the whole process comes down to that."
The police have persisted with using supergrass or "assisting offenders" because they believe that in difficult to solve cases, where their investigations are met with a wall of silence as a result of gang loyalties and threats of violence, there is no alternative.
When the use of such witnesses with formalised in 2005 by the Serious Organised Crime Act, the-then home secretary David Blunkett argued that giving criminals who inform on others shorter sentences for providing information was essential to tackle the growing business and organised crime.
But the system is shrouded in secrecy. Since January 2006, 158 criminals have been recruited as witnesses across England and Wales.– requiring details of where they were used, the outcome of the trials and the number of cases won on appeal – has been refused by the CPS. Repeated requests to the CPS for more details on the cases have also been turned down.
A CPS spokeswoman said no more details could be released because of the danger of identifying individuals involved.


The list appears after several pages of notes from Kendall’s 1820 grammar and phrase book and features spelling more akin to Boultbee’s than Kendall’s. For example the word for hair – usually “huruhuru” – is spelt “huduhudu”, and that for nails – usually “maikuku” – is spelt “muttacook” giving some indication that the words Harwood was hearing were pronounced differently at Otakou than in the North Island. This notebook dates from 1839-1840.

Beattie’s notebooks contain word lists, place names lists etc. Beattie donated his extensive collection of research papers to the Hocken in several batches during the 1950s, 1960s and in 1972. Beattie collected his information during the 20th century by conducting extensive interviews with many informants, and perhaps documents a different era from the earlier sources. For more information on Beattie’s work see Athol Anderson’s biography in Te Ara –. The Hocken hold copies of Beattie’s publications as well as his papers. </s> When Narcissism Meets Normalcy was launched in January of 2016, I was a different person. I’d been in recovery (oh! how I hate that word!) for two years but I was still a hot mess. I was angry, hurt and pissed off no end. Even worse, I was mired to the armpits in denial and false guilt. Every day was a struggle and at nightfall it all got worse. It was like living in my own personal Gotham.
Healing from narcissistic abuse, for me, has never been a steady, slow process. No! It’s been all fits-and-starts. Lurches of progress interspersed with months and months of being plateaued and stale-mated. Mired! Stuck!
Then, sometimes out of nowhere, a Thought occurs. A very en pointe Thought that, as C.S. Lews said in That Hideous Strength, “goes right to the heart of the matter.”
- Constantly thinking
Prayer is a huge part of recovery. Pray for yourself. Pray for insight. Pray for healing. Pray for peace.Pray for deliverance from your current plateau. If I’ve never said it before, I’ve been remiss. Don’t neglect prayer in your healing journey.
But there’s something else and I’m not quite sure how to put it into words. So I’ll tell you an anecdote instead.
My husband’s been going on (and on and on!) about making homemade sauerkraut for, like, years. Every time he broached the subject, I internally rolled my eyes. Just another thing to do. No! I don’t want to make freaking sauerkraut! I don’t even like it.
Then, a fortnight ago, I was at my local library. It’s just a tiny room in a City Hall but it’s unlike any big impersonal library system in a big town. The librarian has become my friend. If I can’t get to town, she’ll perform all kinds of librarian magic to re-reserve or re-re-renew my books so I can keep them. When I return my books, she reads them! And, to add to her other charms, she’s a Book Pusher!
“This one is really good,” she’ll say. “I think you’d like it.” Rather than say, “Seriously! I don’t want to read Fermentation on Wheels. I don’t want to ferment food! I don’t like fermented food. I’d rather sit in my closet and apply thumbscrews rather than make sauerkraut! You can take that book and shove….” No, no, no. Call it codependence if you will, but I just check out the books she pushes at me to shut her up!
Sometimes, all it takes is the right trigger. The book on fermentation was the right trigger at the right time to catapult me to the next level of culinary experience. Recovery is like that too. You cannot be pushed faster than the Right Pace for your Recovery. Sometimes all it takes is the perfect trigger at the perfect time and whoop-holler-halloo! You just made massive progress in healing. But the same trigger wouldn’t have worked six months previously.
Back in 2013, I was not ready to interview family acquaintances to get their perspective on my narcissists. It would’ve helped in my healing journey, but it just wasn’t the right time.
And that was the turning point. That’s when this peace and happiness thing really got its hooks into me. Their testimony about my family was the final validation that clinched the deal. “They weren’t the wonderful people they claimed to be

Clarkson has been planting potatoes and other vegetables since the outbreak of coronavirus, so that locals can keep stocked up on produce as global supply is interrupted. In his words: "I'd be the broad bean king of Chipping Norton. And the man you call late at night if you need an onion."
"In the 19th century, a previous owner installed a pump, which was used to force water from one of the streams to a tank at the highest point of the farm. And then gravity carried the water from this, down a network of underground pipes, to the troughs he installed in every field. Brilliant."
Sadly, the pipes all feed troughs located in the wrong parts of the farm. "They're in fields full of nothing but marjoram and orchids and butterflies and ground-nesting birds. All of which can manage perfectly well without my subterranean water system."


The world3 years with a dramatic increase in ‘virtual’ appointments. Most providers (in the UK) have adopted a hybrid model of tele-health and in person treatments. During this period some of the worlds largest companies have  in the healthcare sector. One of those companies is Amazon.
They have just launched Amazon Care in the US. Utilising their vast company infrastructure they seem to be well placed to provide medical care with the same ease that we all use Amazon prime for shopping. The concept was been trialled initially as a pilot program for Amazon employees in Washington State which was then expanded to the whole US.
Initially the offering will be focused on virtual care with in-person services launched in 20+ cities in 2022. Not surprisingly users can access the services via an App and they will be able to book 24 hours a day all year round. This will save an enormous amount of time and also be completely flexible to fit around an individual’s circumstances.
Any prescriptions will be handled by the app and will be delivered direct to the patients home. If an issue is unable to be addressed via a virtual appointment a healthcare professional will visit the home or they will use one of the physical locations.service becomes. I instantly feel that Amazon can deliver quickly with little fuss, as is my experience with Amazon shopping. The big test will be the lack of physical locations. This is in two parts; one is treatment that can only be done in person but the other is the feeling of security that people get when ‘seeing’ a Doctor face to face.
It’s a big move for the market and with the adoption and advancement in technology we are sure to see things move very quickly. The big retailers also have a foot in the market and they have the advantage of a huge network of physical stores where they can house ‘in-person’ services. With these big players in the market along with the use oft healthcare services look like in 12-18 months!

Doctors want to ban the sale of cigarettes in supermarket
By admin on 17/03/2016 Comments Off on Doctors Federation Royal Dutch Medical Association wants to ban the sale of cigarettes in supermarkets, gas stations and bookstores. The sale of tobacco should be to only small tobacconists limited, as the Royal Dutch Medical Association states today in the position Tobacco Control, which allows the doctors to come to call the government into action against smoking.
The doctors want a smoke-free society and feel that anti-smoking measures have produced so far to little effect. It is therefore high time for reaching measures. They advocate a substantial tax increase on tobacco. “We must ensure that children and adolescents from starting smoking. Growing up in a smoke-free environment contributes to this. That means specifically that school playgrounds, sports fields, would playgrounds, amusement parks and cars smoking should be, “says the Royal Dutch Medical Association.

Vancouver Giants follow up pair of big trades with a listless effort versus Lethbridge
Updated: October 28, 2015 11:09 PM PDT
Coach Lorne Molleken was none to pleased with his Vancouver Giants play Wednesday night. (Province Files.)
he Vancouver Giants’ lacklustre effort on Wednesday night. It led to a 5-2 loss to the Lethbridge Hurricanes at the Pacific Coliseum.
Vancouver added forward Chase Lang and defenceman Ben Thomas in a trade on Tuesday with the Calgary Hitmen, and then picked up winger Trevor Cox in a deal with the Medicine Hat Tigers on Wednesday. All three took part in NHL training camps this season.
You’d might think that the Giants players would be excited about that. It didn’t come through in their play, though.
Payton Lee was beaten on a rebound 3:38 into the game, and then whiffed on a shot at 5:15, and coach Lorne Molleken yanked him from the game. Two goals, five shots. And, keep in mind, that Vancouver ended its three-goalie rotation by sending Cody Porter to Calgary in the Tuesday trade.
Lethbridge went up 3-0. Haydn Hopkins got one back at 15:58 of the first, but Vancouver couldn’t build off that. Alec Baer scored at 18:44 of the third, but the game was long over.
Vancouver outshot Lethbridge 34-22. Attendance was announced at 3,821, but there were more than a few no-shows.
These aren’t the Hurricanes that people are used to. Lethbridge (10-2-0-0) has the league’s best winning percentage right now.
That said, they were coming off a Tuesday game in Victoria. Vancouver (4-7-1-1), now losers of four straight, hadn’t played since Sunday.
Cox, who has a broken hand, did not play. Molleken said he was “pleased with Thomas,” and added, “his first pass was good, I thought he defended well, and he played with physicality.”
As for Lang, Molleken said, “the compete was there.”
It was difficult to come up with a best Giant. Of note, Josh Thrower played with some gumption, despite the fact he’s a defenceman and Molleken had him up front, filling in for Brendan Semchuk and Dawson Holt, who are away at the Under-17 challenge.
Here’s some quotes from an obviously miffed Molleken.
Molleken: “It’s a tough game out there. If you don’t want to play out there, that’s what happens. The first period, we were soft in our coverage. Give them credit. They’re a good hockey club. and they took full advantage.”
Molleken: “We addressed the type of team we were playing this morning. But, you know what — we were a fragile team tonight.”
Molleken on whether it should have been an inspired team after the trades: “You could see some shock in the faces. You know, you are dealing with young men. … The maturity level right now of our team is down here (points at knees). That’s what I’m talking about – fragile. Mentally, we have to be stronger. Mentally, we have to be ready to compete.”


storm of difficulty. None of this stuff is easy and it can be stressful. I don’t have a history of depression but at the end of 2017 I realized I was dealing with some issues. I was indulging in food, self-medicating with alcohol. It was unhealthy. But I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by the health industry. I started a process to look at whether or not I was healthy, and I wasn’t. To get out of that unhealthy time of my life, I started with exercise. It built physical and mental strength. After that, I turned to therapy and that was very good. Then recently, I’ve been taking a break on drinking which has been amazing.
Taking action like this can be hard depending on your circumstance but you have to find support and take action. And remember, such problems are nothing to be ashamed of. There should be no more stigma around depression or other mental struggles. Everyone is dealing with these problems.
Bobby: So time for the questions we ask all of our guests. This first one is the random one. If you were given an elephant and couldn’t sell it, what would you do with it?
Marcus Whitney: Ummmmmmmmmmmmm… I actually like elephants quite a bit. I have ridden one in Bali. I would probably find some land and just have it as a pet.
Marcus Whitney: I think that current college students have a weird thing going on. My kids are college aged so I know. You guys all grew up with the internet, yet nobody understands how quickly technology is advancing and how they have to behave in a quickly changing world. College students are going to learn how to adapt to change more quickly. There’s a chance that dominant companies today will be nonexistent in five years. College students will have to learn way faster than they currently learn in college.
Bobby: Last question: What is one life hack that listeners can do this week to become successful?
Marcus Whitney: Sure thing. I’m @marcuswhitney at all the different socials. I just launched a podcast called Marcus Whitney Audio Universe. I also have a YouTube channel.
Bobby: Awesome. Thanks for joining us today Marcus. We'll talk soon.

Encourage investment to boost GDP
In a bid t, some unconventional moves are essential during crisis period. Realising the grave situation of economy, the housing and real estate entrepreneurs have come up with some pragmatic suggestions. They have urged the government for extends. They have also demanded for resetting 1allowing Se discouraging the money flight abroad. They have also urged the government to take stern action to stop illegal hundi trade, prevent money laundering and stop misuse of bond facilities to help economy recover from the shock.
Trade-based money laundering has become a growing concern for Bangladesh. According to economic analysts, over Tk 4 trillion has been laundered from the country in 10 years in the name of export-import trade, causing serious harm to the domestic investment and the country’s international trade itself. The REHAB president opined that if al gross domestic product (GDP) significantly. However, not only in housing sector, we plead for allowing undisclosed money in all other sectors to boost the country’s GDP.

Will this fodder be used against our incumbent clerk-recorder in next year’s political race? Of course.
The alliances forged around here in the name of “peace and justice” can make your head spin. Just keep your head down and “follow the money.” It’s never as altruistic as it seems.
Today, Dec 30, representatives for Americans for Safe Access delivered to the County Elections office, petitions containing 10,729 verified signatures- more than enough to qualify for a Special Election sometime next year. The standard to qualify is 9,133, but our County used “new math” to raise that number to 9,960. Thanks to all of you, we met and surpassed their threshold by almost 1,000 signatures.
Now that we have submitted more than enough signatures, we plan to contest the County’s methodology to qualify an initiative for a general or special election. The CA Election Code clearly states that the number of signatures needed to qualify an initiative for a General Election shall be based on 10% of the votes cast for the office of Governor in the last election (20% for a Special Election). Nevada County also counts “under votes” – people who chose to not vote for the office of Governor, which in this case meant we had to gather 790 additional signatures. Our hope is to spare anyone who undertakes an initiative in the future from having to meet the County’s inflated standard.

Jeff, you are way off the mark in your comments about the Americans for Safe Access marijuana cultivation ordinance. People from every political party have rallied to our cause for many different reasons. Although we have NOT aligned with “the hard right” (or any particular group), our initiative has garnered support from some pretty unlikely places.
Barry Pruett contacted me to see if we needed representation to deal with the County. We already have counsel, so we politely declined his offer.
I would like to state for the record that we do not have a problem with the Elections Office or Greg Diaz. They have been extremely cooperative and helpful throughout the entire process. We simply disagree that including “under votes” for Governor follows Election Code. Hopefully, we can resolve this issue without a court proceeding, but we feel it is necessary to challenge the policy for anyone who decides to start an initiative in the future.
I would like to point out that it is extremely rare to qualify a voter’s initiative. We gathered over 16,000 signatures to reach the benchmark of 9,960 set by the county (after vetting the duplications, PO Boxes, and unregistered voters). It is simply unfair to demand petitioners gather an additional 790 signatures to meet a standard that is not required in the Election Code.
Patricia, thanks for making my point.

Patricia Smith addressed this the other day on the Cannabis Crusades. She said the mix up could have been just as easily her fault than somebody else. I have found the local elections office very helpful and professional. Any plans on running?
Barry PruettDecember 26, 2013 at 9:03 PM
Diaz is bush-league. Even Patricia Smith who has no election law experience knows more about this area of law than our elected official. Diaz makes Nevada County look bad.
You seem unconcerned that our Elections Clerk doesn’t apply Election law properly and doesn’t know math very well and more concerned about this issue becoming a left and right “thing”.
The first claim of this appears on your website sir, might you be wanting for this to become a left vs right “thing” so as to generate blind support for Greg Diaz? ..
I worked harder than you might imagine to assist getting signatures and I am a conservative that understands the difference. This is not a Left or Right “thing” It is first and foremost a First Amendment “thing”
This is the first time in Nevada County a special election has qualified.
It is to be celebrated as a prime exercise in Democracy . A fact you sadly overlook in favor of stirring the partisan pot.
Enjoy your blog Jeff but you missed the boat on this one.
Your hard work has led to some real tunnel vision. Wouldn’t it be ironic if your MJ initiative lost, but your “new best friends” and alliance with the hard right still were able to peel enough votes from Lamphier, Diaz, Vernon and other “progressives” for them to lock down local politics. Seems like a good strategy for them — and judging by your responses, it’s working according to plan. Do you think they really want your initiative to pass? Please. “Politics makes strange bedfellows.”
There are no”new best friends” Perhaps allies, perhaps not.
A.S.A. is not aligned with either side, as our name indicates it is first and foremost an American thing, citizens doing what they can to shape the future. I fully expect many of those “new best friends” as you refer to them, to vote for our ballot measure.
I urge you to join conservatives, progressives, independents, etc.
to join in support of ASA. If not at least give kudos to those who have
stood up, went to work and accomplished what never been done before. Qualifying a Special Election initiative for the ballot.
Sad that you do not offer congratulations to ASA for an outstanding First Amendment exercise.
Here let me: Congratulations Americans for Safe Access for being the first to qualify a citizens initiative for a Special Election in Nevada County!!!
Still reading you and now wondering about your agenda. Doesn’t seem “middle of the road” in my opinion.
Congratulations to ASA for an outstanding First Amendment exercise! Having said that, you might want to be a little bit more savvy about “unintended consequences.” But don’t take my word for it. Ask around.
Jeff, I am a staunch supporter of Terry Lamphier – not because he voted against the County’s cultivation ordinance, but because he is actively engaged in our community. Every event I attend (and I attend a lot of events), Terry is there to learn want his constituents want for Nevada County. I’ve never seen any other Supervisor at these events.
However, over the course of this campaign, I have made acquaintances with people from every party and have found them all to be great people. I keep looking for what we have in common and how we can build on those commonalities to make effective changes that benefit us all.
Do I think every conservative will support our initiative? Of course not. Nor do I believe every progressive will support it. I believe our initiative will pass because a majority of our citizens understand what is at stake – our basic freedom to chose what medicine we use and what crops we can grow on our own property.
We worked on our initiative for two years to fine tune its provisions. Of tantamount importance was preserving Homeowner’s rights to the quiet enjoyment of their properties which is why we ban outdoor cultivation in residential areas, but increased allowances on agricultural parcels so they may provide medicine for those who cannot grow their own.
The issue is now in the hands of the voters.
“The issue is now in the hands of the voters”, don’t pop the corks just yet. How the process works is a percentage of the total signatures are checked and each invalid signature is given a percentage also. In other words each invalid signature is worth more than one invalid signature because they are not preforming a 100% verification. You may have enough valid signatures to overcome the bad ones but it is not a simple one for one. Checking a 100% of signatures is time consuming and expensive. If you have enough valid signatures the board could just adopt your ordinance and forgo the election. I would hope the board would choose this option and save the county the cost of a countywide special election, but don’t hold your breath. Congrats on your hard work ASA!
Then did it occur to you that the same people who are courting your initiative from the hard right are not supporting Terry? Did it occur to you that they will be courting votes among MJ supporters against him because, after all, they are just “great people”? In a close race, that could well make the difference. It’s a pretty good political strategy. I don’t vote in that District but I can see it happening. Though the real target for the hard right in this instance is Greg Diaz, there will be “unintended consequences” for all the progressive candidates. The “property rights” issue has been used before for the hard right to lock down our local politics. For those of us in the middle it’s troubling.
You seem to be looking at a “glass half empty” . I see this in exactly the opposite light as you. I believe we may pull votes to candidates that support our initiative rather than lose them. In fact, several candidates you support have expressed the hope that our initiative ends up on the primary ballot because they think it will help them.
I base my opinion on the fact that we have registered unprecedented numbers of new voters from all parties who support this initiative. I think they will vote for the candidates that support this position also.
This is a voters revolution!
Thanks Patricia. But when this gets promoted as a “property rights” issue, all bets are off on that scenario.
I found it rather “interesting and exciting” that the ASA has been able to garner more new registered voters than any other issue in Nevada County history.
I understand that it’s well over 1,000 brand new voters and if you consider that they were able to get @15,000 signatures that would mean that there are @3,500-4,000 others that were either not registered or duplicates.
Statistically this would mean that the ASA group would have (if all of these unregistered people can become registered) @13,500-14,000 voters that would be willing to vote “yes” on their petition measure.
If you consider that the people who supported this petition came from a very large sampling of the community (except the Truckee area), and if you look at the demographics of this group (which from what I have heard) was a large cross section of the county. Young and old, poor and affluent, which should bring a completely different venue into the voting prerogative than we’ve seen before.
The “normal” Nevada County political breakdown (from Wiki) show the following:
Registered voters 61,557 62.6%
Democratic–Republican spread -3,017 -4.9%
Peace and Freedom 140 0.2%
Americans Elect 1 0.0%
No party preference 13,449 21.8%
This means that there could be some very “interesting” changes in the political arena if the ASA group was able to harness the energy that they have been able to develop for their petition into political changes.
I know that this group worked very long and hard to overturn what was forced on them by the Law and Political leadership in this county, and I am looking forward to seeing this move forward…..
I was listening to KVMR news, and just heard that Mr. Diaz will be checking all of the individual signatures (and not doing the statistical sampling), which make sense, but in effect the ASA group should have had the opportunity to have their special election as this is what they have worked to do, and done….
December 31, 2013 at 9:10 pm
I left out one thought on Mr. Diaz….
I bet that the ASA want’s Mr. Diaz to actually do his job, and if they (the ASA group) were able garner @2,000 additional qualified signatures (when the question at hand is whether then needed the additional 792), then I do not think that they really care about political issues with his office.
I bet the ASA folks are more concerned with having this thrown out because County Counsel is not satisfied with the methodology used to verify these petitions.
Mr. Diaz won (Greg Diaz: 69.91% Pruett: 30.39%) which means that Nevada County voters expect a “high caliber” of integrity…..
I just hope that the decisions that Mr. Diaz made in regards to the voter count will not make him look “ineffective” and “wrong” at this point in the game.

Lord Mayor of London in Romania Thursday and Friday, talks with authorities about infrastructure development
He will also talk to local financial sector and the Bucharest Stock Exchange representatives about the strengthening of the financial ties between the UK and Romania. Lord Mayor will also take part in several events with business leaders to discuss The City's offer in innovation, financial technology, cyber security, international standards compliance,' reads the press release. According to it, the talks with the Romanian authorities will address the infrastructure, energy and technology domains. 'I am very pleased to go to Bucharest. I know that my visit will include a busy schedule of productive meetings with government and industrial leaders. There are many opportunities for UK companies in Romania - including in sectors such as energy, infrastructure or financial technology,' stated Andrew Parmley, quoted in the British Embassy release.
The Lord Mayor spoke about Britain's economic relations within the international market in the Brexit context. 'Fop with vibrant markets in the world, but it also remains essential to maintain close ties with our European partners. As the world's leading financial centre, London provides an unique competitive bid for Romanian companies wishing to expand in or out of the country, which I hope will happen for the benefit of communities across Europe,' he said.

There is sorrow and a lot of lies in the whole text of the FT. Firstly, it does not specify exactly what kind of private pension is concerned. We say: about mandatory private pensions. This is what Romania is called the second pension pillar. It consists of the social insurance contribution of 10.5% of the gross salary of each employee. From 10.5%, respectively, the state automatically dislocade, not the employee, 5.1% to the Pillar 2 pension account. Therefore, the Pillar 2 of the pension is constituted by the state's willingness to pass almost half the volume of social contributions to the account of a private administrator who is called the Private Pension Administrator. The administrator is elected by each person according to the information at his disposal. Among the first private funds in Romania was ING Bank. Now, ING Bank's pension fund is called NN pensions. In fact, the most private fund managers are foreign entities, or foreign-owned companies. . ....

In pakistan, there are mainly 02 types of accounts that can be opened in a bank, saving account and current account.In saving accounts, we get riba on our deposits. Where as in current account types, the account holder do not get riba but the money in his account is used by the bank for getting ribaOne of the current account types is the account known as 'business partner plus account'. In this type of account, on maintaining a monthly average balance of Rs. 25,000 or more, some services are provided freely by the bank, which are not free for an ordinary current account type.i.e. the bank uses the money in giving loans and geting riba and in return provides some services free of charges which are not free for other types of accounts.So can we open this type of account or is the account holder is indirectly involved in getting riba?

needed for the house to possess the novel's heroine, Eleanor Vance, is a game changer—a tacit agreement that will be cashed in the final pages of Jackson's masterwork: "[S]n its efficiency, Jackson's prose transmits modernity—she allows the novel to remain crisp and lean. She refuses to overcomplicate her writing with unnecessary description or mannerisms and, therefore, when she delves into detail, she has the reader's complete attention.
And this is where one of the most genial touches of the novel comes into play. Jackson sets forth the entire endeavor as a scientific experiment, and therefore we are forced to accept the background and history (biography?) of Hill House as pure fact and the parameters of modernity as our safety net.
This is perhaps one of the most veiled and pervasive horrors in Jackson's fiction: We are always alone.
The case of Ray Russell offers us a chance to talk about one of the most peculiar horror writers. Rc.
Russell was born in the early twentieth century and saw action during World War II. He held a variety of jobs and published in a variety of publications. He was part of the resurgence of fantastic literature in American letters. As executive fiction editor of _Playboy_ in the magazine's infancy (1954–1960), Russell probably knew his share of excess and power, but he utilized this power to provide refuge to a host of valuable genre writers, among them the brilliant Richard Matheson and the precious Charles Beaumont, but also heralded the birth of adult fantastic fiction by publishing also Vonnegut, Bradbury, Fredric Brown, and many others.
Russell authored numerous short stories and seven novels—including his most famous one, _The Case Against Satan_ , which pioneers and outlines the plights of _Rosemary's Baby_ and _The Exorcist_. But, in spite of this and his continued collaborations with _Playboy_ throughout the 1970s, Russell remains a forgotten writer. A sort of writer's writer, an acquired taste. This in spite of being a recipient of both a World Fantasy Awaut King, as always, is absolutely right. Russell has a savage streak in his prose, one that would today be considered inappropriate and even offensive and, to me, entirely reminiscent of the Grand Guignol Theatre. But in his best stories he also captures the tenuous atmosphere of the Gothic Romance. At a secondary level, Russell seems to wallow in a sadistic impulse akin to the _conte cruel_ so aptly practiced by Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam.
My favorite of the three, _Sagittarius_ , may not be a perfect exercise in style, but it is a luscious, devoted repast of Gothic fiction. _Sagittarius_ centers around the tale of two stage actors—the divine Sellig and the revulsive Laval, a freakishly deformed performer who shocks the Grand Guignol audience every night, and who embodies evil to perfection.
If you can guess the not too subtle wordplay hidden in the performers' names, then it will feel only natural that, in an inspired stroke, Russell links the pair with two more infamous figures of gaslight London: Jack the Ripper and Mr. Hyde. The connection is effortless and feels neither mannered nor insincere and, I guarantee this: It packs a powerful punch in its final pages.
"La vie est un corridor noir / D'impuissance et de désespoir!" cries Laval. "Life is a black corridor of impotence and despair." Indeed.
The most famous of his tales, and the only one that is frequently reprinted and discussed, is _Sardonicus_. First published in _Playboy_ at the end of the 1950s, this is a tale of enormous originality that remains, at the same time, a grand homage and a reinvention of the Gothic. To the eyes of its seemingly straight protagonist, Sir Robert Cargrave, everything in Castle Sardonicus is askew and in decay. He has been called there to assist the husband of a former liaison of his—the man in question, the preternaturally pale Mr. Sardonicus, has the lower half of his face paralyzed in a horrid rictus, and the reason for this is too preposterous and delightful to consign in these few lines!
In my opinion, Ray  Sadly, most of Russell's work has remained unavailable, except for outrageously overpriced paperbacks and expensive collectors
