OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Thurston County Animal Service Officials are going door-to-door looking for clues, and warning neighbors of the dangers of what they're calling a serial pet killer. So far, officials have found seven mutilated cats in Thurston County. All the crimes are believed to be committed by the same person, officials say.

Unlocking the Poem is a way to think about writing poetry; it is also the title of a new book by Ottone M. Riccio and Ellen Beth Siegel starting from the premise that poems are out there, waiting to be found, opened, unlocked–by anyone with the interest and perseverance to do so. I hope this blog will allow me to explore this and other ideas in dialogue with all you other poets out there.
Regarding the book: please go to the page entitled "About Unlocking the Poem," for more information about a resource X. J. Kennedy called "a book that deserves a place on every poet's shelf"–I think you'll agree that this volume will be a valuable companion to any writer. And please read the blog entries that follow, and respond; let's open a dialogue about how and what we write, and how to do it better!

I thought it might be fun to write stories about some of Ricky Riccio's individual assignments that made their way into Unlocking the Poem—and this post will be the first of several to do just that.
One assignment that sticks out—in a distinctly positive way—consisted of a sentence Ricky gave to his students to use as the title or first line of a poem: Do not give me things unbroken. Like so many of Ricky's assignments, this is but a brief snippet from which poems could emerge . . . and emerge they did! For weeks, students returned to workshop with additional "do not give me things unbroken" poems . . . and many of the poems were truly inspired.
We, the students, were so excited by what was happening that five of us decided to collect these poems and publish them. We put together a poetry anthology called (of course!) Do Not Give Me Things Unbroken, containing poems from 54 different authors; we dedicated the volume to Ricky and his teaching. (You'll see this assignment as Assignment Number 417 in Unlocking the Poem, "illustrated" by several poems previously published in Do Not Give Me Things Unbroken.)
Among the poems produced in response to the assignment, we had free verse and villanelles, concrete poems, prose poems, sestinas and sijo—a vast richness of the many different poetry forms Ricky had exposed us to. (Ricky was the first to show me these forms, and I am deeply grateful; for those of you not familiar with them, you can find information about them all in Unlocking the Poem.)

Ellen Steinbaum, one of Ricky's many students (and an excellent poet, now with two beautiful books under her belt) has a blog called Reading and Writing and the Occasional Recipe. All this week she has been posting assignments-from-Ricky for other poets to try their hands at. Not sure what response she has had so far, but she certainly encouraged me to reach back into my own mind!
The assignment Ellen picked for Wednesday (November 18, 2009) was to write a rondeau about the sound of waves crashing, and she provided some explanation from Ricky about the structure of the rondeau form, for poets who were not familiar with it. That got me thinking about one of the assignments we included in Unlocking the Poem, to write a rondeau based on the origin of the word "tuxedo." My own poem from that assignment did not make it into Unlocking the Poem (we chose a sensual and evocative poem from the poet Carol Siemering instead) but was published in Concrete Wolf.
When I did some research into the roots of "tuxedo," I found that the word came from an Algonquin Indian word, "P'tuksit," literally "he whose feet are round," and referring to the wolf, the tribe's totem. My poem, which follows, went straight back to the wolves . . .

Tags: elephants, poems from headlines
Sometimes this world is weirder than I ever imagined. I was reading the newspaper and came upon the following headline: Couple sideswipes runaway elephant. WHAT?? I read the story and I just had to write about it. What I came up with is far from a "great" poem, but it was fun to write (as doing writing assignments usually is) and I got a free-verse poem that the non-poets in my family were able to read without breaking out in hives. Anyway, I figured maybe other people might get a kick out of writing from a headline, as an "assignment," and might get a kick out of my poem too:

I suddenly feel naked, entering an unknown world. Is anybody out there? My name is Ellen Beth Siegel, I am wearing clothes, and I am entering the world of blogs for the first time. Most of my writing has been in the very different universe of poetry, but this blog-in-prose will be about poetry and poems, all kinds of poems, and about how to write poems. About people who write poems. About why people choose to write poems. About what goes into writing in a particular poetic form. About finding new ideas—creative stimuli—for writing poems when faced by writer's block, every poet's most dreaded disease. I'm hoping to start dialogues with other poets about how to get published, and how to help more people become interested in—even, excited about—poetry. I'm open to using this blog as a platform for wherever it might take me—and us—in the world of poetry.
So, let me start by introducing myself. I have lots of fancy credentials, most of which have nothing to do with me as a poet. A Harvard law degree. A doctorate in psychology. What I "do" now, to earn my daily keep, is work as a clinical psychologist. It's work that I love, because it allows me both to know others in a deep way and to help them (or at least to try to). I suppose that for many people, that would have been enough . . . but for me, there has always also been a love of words. I don't have much of my childhood that I can go back to (possibly more on that later), but I do remember writing poems in second or third grade, being fascinated by rhyme, loving the differences in meanings between one word and the next, playing with language. Writing has been a lifelong companion—even, at times, an emotional refuge.
I started writing poetry in a serious way in the 1980's. At the time, I was looking for a way to express feelings (one of the many things poetry can do). Those early poems were dreadful, shouting with angst, screaming words like "Pain! Grief! Unbearable sadness!" I wanted to do better and looked for tools; I found a wonderful book in my local library, The Intimate Art of Writing Poetry, by Ottone M. Riccio, then discovered he taught workshop classes practically in my own backyard. My heart in my mouth, I signed up for a class, nearly backing out a dozen times before the first meeting.
That was in 1990, and except for when I went back to school for my psychology degree, I have been working with Ricky, as he is called, ever since. How lucky I am!—because Ricky is really a gifted, inspired, and inspiring teacher. And it is through Ricky that I have earned my stripes as a poet, as have ever so many others.
I'm not a "big-shot" in the poetry world (at least, not yet!). With family, work, and all the other things demanding my time and attention, I can't devote much time to sending poems out to journals, but I do have a fairly respectable handful of publications, including a Pushcart nomination, and I have two chapbooks that, although not yet published, have each won honorable mentions in chapbook contests. I have also co-written a book with Ricky, Unlocking the Poem, that I am enormously excited about and hope you will be too: it's a teaching tool for writing poetry and a creative stimulus for the writing of your own new poems—for you to discover and "unlock" the poems waiting just for you—based on Ricky's assignments over his forty years of teaching, and one of the things that makes this book unique is that it is "illustrated" with poems by Ricky's students, ordinary people, people like me . . . people who have become poets. I hope you'll join us in this poetry-quest. Download a free sample of Unlocking the Poem; try it for yourself!

Q: how to get pdftk to burst to source file name plus page number? How can I use pdftk to burst to the same filename as the source file plus a number?
Sample input
source.pdf

Desired output
source-1.pdf (it is ok if page number has leading zeroes, but not required)
source-2.pdf

Maybe I could use a .bat file to substitute the source filename?  I have no idea how to do this.  Any help at all is appreciated.

A: This can be done like the following:
pdftk source.pdf burst output source-%d.pdf

A: You have to wrap the pdftk command into a batch file.  This should work:
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
set file=%1
FOR %%i IN ("%file%") DO (
    set prefix=%%~ni
)
set outname=%prefix%-%%02d.pdf
pdftk.exe %file% burst output %outname%

Hamilton Park Racecourse, just south of Scotland's city of Glasgow, has been a horse racing rendezvous since 1782, with the current course dating back to 1926. The Scottish racecourse became well-known as the United Kingdom's first course to present evening racing in 1947. Today Hamilton Park Racecourse is still a popular horse racing venue with a year-round calendar. Recently refurbished, Hamilton Park offers world-class facilities and exquisite service.
Opened in 1926, Hamilton Park Racecourse experienced financial difficulties during the 1950s and 60s. A trust took over ownership in 1973 and all profits went back into improving the course. Hamilton Park has a flat right-handed, loop course with an uphill straight of 5 furlongs. Renowned races at Hamilton Park include the Saints and Sinners Charity evening and the Hamilton Park Super Six. Family days feature throughout the year. Other races hosted at Hamilton Park Racecourse include MITIE Mile Night, Braveheart Night, All Revved Up, Flower of Scotland Stakes Day, Scottish Trophy, Totesport Final Fling and John Smith's Fair Friday. The race season ends off with the impressive Autumn Finale.
Hamilton Park provides for three methods of betting - bookies in the betting ring, the Tote and the betting shop. The race program, available at the entrance, gives racegoers information on all the runners, jockey colors and other information, as well as providing discount vouchers. Hamilton Park Racecourse boasts excellent facilities such as the comfortable grandstand, restaurants, bars and amenities for the disabled.
Hamilton Park has a wonderful history of champions and exciting races. Soba is a legend at Hamilton Park as one of the fastest horses to race there. On 21 May 1982 she took her second victory in a string of 14 in her career. Another famed personality is Mark Johnston, a trainer who on 4 September 2000 gained his thousandth career winner at this stunning track with Double Honour.
Hamilton Park Racecourse is located just 10 miles to the south of Glasgow off the M74. Trains can be taken from Yorkshire and London Euston to Glasgow Central through to Hamilton West. If you are a horse racing fan and find yourself in Scotland, be sure to spend a day at Hamilton Park Racecourse.

Home Europe Hungary Hosts Persecution Conference Despite Controversy
Hungary Hosts Persecution Conference Despite Controversy
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent BosNewsLife reporting from Budapest
BUDAPEST, HUNGARY (BosNewsLife)– Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has opened a global gathering on Christian persecution despite criticism over his perceived cozy relationship with anti-Christian autocratic leaders. Orbán also faces pressure over the government's threat to deport a detained Christian asylum seeker and his young son back to Iran. The father faces the death penalty there for converting from Islam to Christianity.
Speaking at the Second International Conference on Christian Persecution in Budapest, Orbán did not address these controversies. Instead, the fiercely anti-migration leader spoke to delegates about the dangers of "masses of radical Islamists"
"invading" Europe. He warned that Europe "can only be saved if she returns to her Christian identity."
Orbán suggested that all Europeans should learn from Hungary. He recalled that Hungary emerged as a state soon after Hungarian tribes arrived in the
Carpathian Basin some 1,100 years ago. "Though we were not the first ones, others disappeared. The taking up of Christianity was a key moment for our survival," he explained.
The right-wing nationalist stressed that Hungary's history compelled it to support persecuted Christians in their nations. Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó told the Conference that over the past year, some 2625 Christians were detained "without any legal basis." He said that "over 1,200 Christian churches" were attacked worldwide.
Szijjártó often cited figures by aid and advocacy group Open Doors. The group claims that at least 245 million Christians are living in places where they experience high levels of persecution. Some 4,305 Christians were killed for their faith in the reporting period between November 1, 2017, and October 31, 2018, according to Open Doors.
PERSECUTION REGIMES
But ahead of the Conference, independent opposition legislator Bernadett
Bernadett Szél has questioned the government's policies towards Christians.
Szél condemned the prime minister's "hypocritical" policies towards Christians. She asked how Viktor Orbán could reconcile his government's stance on persecuted Christians while seeking "mutual respect and balanced political cooperation with Christian persecution regimes?"
Orbán hosted in recent weeks Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, prompting massive protests, as well as Russian President Vladimir Putin. He has praised both countries as examples of the "illiberal state" he wants to create.
In a letter, Szél also urged the prime minister to explain why Hungary has been an observer in the anti-Christian Turkish Council since 2018. She noted that the Council comprises nations persecuting Christians, including Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazachstan. "The U.S. organization Open Doors has ranked almost every member of the Turkish Council among the world's most serious Christian persecution regimes," the Hungarian legislator added.
In 2019, Open Doors placed Uzbekistan 17th, Turkey 26th, Kazakhstan 34th, and Azerbaijan 50th on its annual list of nations with the worst
reported cases of attacks against Christians. "The toughest Christian persecution happens in Uzbekistan, where police and secret services monitor religious minorities. They intercept their phones, search their homes, regularly confiscate their Bibles, and condemn to forced labor those who keep Christian books at home," Szél wrote.
She wondered why the prime minister recently praised Kazakhstan's former President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who remains an influential politician. Szél said Orbán even supports placing a minority in Hungary under the control of Nazarbayev, who she called "the Kazakh dictator."
KIPCHAK BLOOD
In comments seen by BosNewsLife, Prime Minister Orbán told the Turkish Council last month: "Not everyone here is aware that there are Kipchaks in Hungary. That many Hungarians have Kipchak blood, and that they have their self-government."
He added: "President Nazarbayev is also President of the Hungarian Kipchak tribes. And we send him a message every year when the annual meeting of the Kipchaks is in Hungary."
In her letter, Szél asked Orban: "When will you make a statement condemning the persecution of Christians in the countries of the Turkish Council? And when will you put your bilateral relations at the service of advocating for persecuted Christians?"
She added: "Do you not think it is hypocrisy to play the role as a protector of Christianity at home while being in alliance with leaders of
Christian persecuting states and even seeking closer cooperation with them? What are the principles underlying the foreign policy of a Christian state [as Hungary]?"
Orbán declined to comment, but Hungary's Foreign ministry denied wrongdoing. "We are pleased to see that the opposition has discovered the cause of the persecuted Christians. But, regrettably, its concern is not driven by wanting to assist but by domestic politics," the ministry said. "The Hungarian government, on the other hand, is really helping the persecuted Christians through the Hungary Helps program. So far, we have been contributing $40 million to keep and help some 50,000 people in crisis regions. Protecting persecuted Christians is one of the cornerstones of our foreign policy."
Iranian artist Abouzar Soltani and his 10-year-old Armin. Hungary threatens to deport them back to Iran where he may face the death penalty for turning to Christianity.
However, it remained unclear how the government planned to protect Christian asylum seekers arriving in Hungary. Among them are Iranian artist Abouzar Soltani and his 10-year-old son Armin who have been stuck in the notorious Transit Zone in Hungary for almost a year.
Hungary wants to deport Soltani back to Iran, though he may face execution by hanging there for converting from Islam to Christianity. But the government has made clear that only wealthy or more influential asylum seekers receive red-carpet treatment.
Former Macedonian Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, for instance, was warmly welcomed last year after fleeing to Hungary to escape a two years prison sentence for corruption. Hungary's foreign minister said at the time that Hungarian diplomats accompanied him to Budapest.
While critics have questioned these policies, the United States and some church leaders praised Hungary's efforts to help persecuted Christians stay in their troubled nations.
At the Conference, bishops and politicians expressed concern that some 80 percent of Christians have left Iraq while 50 percent fled Syria.
Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassi has expressed concerns about Christians.
Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil expressed concerns that many Christians leave the Middle East. He said the number of Christians living in Lebanon have been falling by two thirds. "If Christians disappear from the land of Christ's birth, there will be no longer any point in protecting them," he warned.
TRUMP AGREES
The politician suggested that East and West should cooperate in the fight against terrorism.
U.S. President Donald Trump shared those concerns. In a letter to the Conference, he said that the United States has always "vehemently" defended the freedom of religion and people's faith.
He praised Hungary's government for supporting his administration's religious freedom efforts. "We all have a responsibility to protect these rights," Trump wrote in the letter read by his policy advisor Joe Grogan.
Delegates, including non-governmental organizations, church leaders, and politicians, were expected to discuss a strategy to coordinate the support of persecuted Christians.
A final declaration was due Thursday, November 28.

This blog was a blast and I learnt alot... and now I'm moving on to a new blog. One that prattles on about everything and anything to do with (or not to do with) ART :) I do love art - all kinds.
Thanks for reading my posts, however infrequent they've been!
Have a totally wonderful and happy day, whatever you're doing.
I hope its something creative!


Bob Harper has cemented his reputation as one of the top fitness trainers in America with his work on The Biggest Loser, multiple DVD releases, celebrity appearances at gyms all over the country, and more. His can-do attitude and motivating spirit have made him America's best motivator, and last season on The Biggest Loser was no exception. The theme: "No Excuses" – something Bob championed with the contestants every week.
Q: The latest season of The Biggest Loser is called "No Excuses." What excuses do you hear most often from people who have become out of shape? What is your advice for overcoming those barriers?
A: I have heard them all—I have no time. If I could be on your show I could lose weight. If I had you as a trainer. If I could have someone cooking all my food. I can't get motivated. These are just a few of the excuses I have heard throughout the years and all I have to say is that those excuses are what is holding you back from the lifestyle that you deserve to have. When you really begin to look at in that way, hopefully it will get you to pull those "road blocks" out of your path to a healthier and happier life.

I was still feeling the effects of the lunar eclipse in the early hours of Monday on Tuesday morning. Not in a spiritual way, I was just knackered from staying up. However Croxden, the first stop on my rambles around the North of the shire last week, was a sight for my sore eyes. The tiny village is dominated by the ruins of a Cistercian Abbey founded in 1176 by Bertram de Verdun of Alton Castle (1) for the souls of his predecessors and successors.
Remains of 12thc Alton Castle founded by Bertram de Verdun.
What is left of the semi-circular East end of the abbey church, unusual in England and probably inspired by the French designs the Abbey's patrons would have known, lies to one side of the road that someone decided to cut through the site. The nave, south transept and other monastic buildings lie on the other and you can see a plan showing what is still visible above ground and what has been lost here. In 1288, a priest from Walsall called William de Schepisheved, was given the task of chronicling life inside and out of these Abbey walls. He worked backwards to 1066 and contemporaneously until 1320 when the entries in his hand stop, although the chronicle continues until 1374.
Blood Moon. Just in case you didn't see one of the three million photos of it shared online,
We tweeted and shared our photos of the lunar eclipse. William the Chronicler recorded the celestial events he witnessed in the annals. Understandably for him and those of his time, eclipses were considered bad omens, often linked to any conflict, pestilence or bad weather that occurred. William records a solar eclipse in July 1330 and connects it to the floods and unseasonable weather which occurred two months before and for three months after, resulting in a late harvest, "…they had scarcely reaped the last of their corn with the greatest toil on the feast of All Saints and they had at last collected their peas into barns and outhouses on the feast of the blessed apostle Andrew. And what is so remarkable to see and hear, on the feast of All Saints and of St Martin fresh peas in their shells were given to the convent in the refectory instead of pears and apples". Another notable event in July 1301 appears in the Abbey's annals describing how, "on the day of the Blessed Mary Magdalene, about the sixth hour, a great earthquake took place, to such an extent that all the persons in the convent, being at their first refection, were dismayed with a sudden and unlooked-for trembling".
The chronicle also documents a connection between the abbey and Lichfield. William recorded that on Easter Eve in 1313, the great bell of the Monastery was broken by mischance and a man called Henry Michel came from Lichfield with his youths to cast another. It was reported that his first attempt failed but he started afresh and completed by the Festival of All Saints. It seems likely that this was Henry the Bellfounder who granted Lichfield's Franciscan Friars the springs near Aldershawe which would later supply water to the whole of the city.

As well as life at the abbey, Death inevitably also features in the chronicle. There are the descriptions of the burials of the Verdun family including that of Lady Joan Furnival, eldest daughter and heir of Theobald de Verdun, who on October 2nd 1334, "was taken by untimely death in childbirth; for on the day she died she was only thirty years and almost two months" and was "buried near her ancestors between Lord Nicholas de Verdun, son of the founder, and her ancestor and Lord John de Verdun, her great-grandfather". Their now empty stone coffins can be seen alongside the ruins at the east end of the church.
Stone coffins at Croxden.
The entry for 1349 simply and bleakly says, " There was a great pestilence throughout the whole world." Nothing more. No indication of how many succumbed to and how many survived the plague here in Croxden. The following year, 1350, another single sentence notes, "This year was a jubilee" (2), and then there is nothing until the harrowing entry made in 1361 which records, " A second pestilence took place, and all the children that were born since the first pestilence died." In the absence of detail, I did a little reading between the lines. After ten years, plague had reared its ugly head again and although overall mortality rates were lower than in the first outbreak, the disproportionate number of deaths amongst the young in this second wave led to it being known as 'the Children's Plague'. Was this was because those who had survived the plague the first time around had some sort of immunity that the children born subsequently did not? I don't know. I'm not sure that anyone does for sure. In 1369, another 'visitation' is recorded.
Five years later the Chronicle ends but not before recording two further natural disasters affecting the Abbey – a flood destroying all the grass growing near the water together with all the bridges across the River Churnet, and a tempest which took the lead off the dormitory, infirmary, and abbot's chamber, throwing down half the trees in the orchard. Plague and poor harvests took their toll and by the end of the fourteenth century, the Abbey was in decline.
One thing that doesn't seem to appear in the Chronicle is the 'fact' that King John's Heart is buried at Croxden. Possibly because it isn't. I first came across the claim in Arthur Mee's guide to Staffordshire and since have found several other sources saying the same, including William White's Directory of Staffordshire (1851), Samuel Lewis' Topical Directory of England (1831) and The Gentleman's Magazine (1823). Trouble is other, more reliable sources say it's at Croxton, Leicestershire including the Charter Roll of 1257. I'm sorry to say, I think we have to concede this one to our foxy neighbours.

The King's bowels were also said to have been removed at the time of his death and buried somewhere in Croxton, and to quote Simon Schama, their removal left John, 'as gutless in death as he was said to have been in life'. The majority of John's body rests in Worcester Cathedral, although more in pieces than at peace. When the tomb was opened in 1797, it became apparent that the bones had been disturbed, with the jaw lying by an elbow and all but four of the teeth and most of the finger bones missing – the King's hands presumably having fallen into the hands of souvenir hunters.
The end of the road for Croxden came on 7 September 1538 when Dr. Thomas Leigh and William Cavendish received the surrender of the abbey and the roof was removed to prevent the Abbot and resident six monks from continuing to use the site. Although Croxden Abbey has been privately owned since then, it has been under state guardianship since 1936. Today, the ruins are cared for by English Heritage and it's absolutely free to go and explore them (although I'm sure they'd appreciate a donation). Unlike staying up all night to watch a lunar eclipse, I can highly recommend it. More information on visiting and directions here.
(1) I had no idea there was a castle at Alton until I went to Alton with a friend and saw a sign for it. As we found out, it is not open to the public.
(2) I suspected that a jubilee in this context did not mean what I thought it did so I of course googled it and discovered that jubilee years had been started by Pope Boniface in 1300, and to be celebrated every hundred years thereafter. However, Pope Clement VI later amended this as people's average lifespan was too short and so many would not live to see one. Plus there was money to be made from pilgrims. Pope Paul II later amended the frequency of jubilee years to be every twenty five. For anyone interested, the next one will be in 2025.

Perhaps the biggest faux pax you can commit about the place that gave the world Samuel 'Dictionary' Johnson is to spell the name incorrectly. Outsiders, please note that these days the only acceptable 'T' in Lichfield comes with biscuits and/or cake. The other way to wind up a Lichfeldian is to refer to Staffordshire's premier heritage city as a town. En-route to the Guildhall Cells, perpetrators of this crime are taken past our central railway station to illustrate just how wrong they were.

Once they are in the stocks, heretics are then read to from the charters, currently held at the museum in St Mary's, which include Queen Mary's declaration of 1553 that Lichfield was not only to be a city, as granted by her brother Edward five years earlier, but also a county in its own right.
"OK it's a city. I get it. I'm sorry. I'm from Tamworth"
This is the charter which gave rise to the annual Sheriff's Ride (and its much more recent and considerably shorter spin-offs), a twenty mile perambulation of the current boundary of Lichfield. I had often sat and wondered whether at any point, the boundary was physically marked in someway (I do need to get out more) and just recently found an article written in the late nineteenth century which says it was, "formerly marked by wooden posts, but they have much deteriorated and in some instances disappeared. A renewal in iron of the most important has recently taken place".
The 2014 Sheriff perambulating Cross in Hand Lane.
Descriptions of the boundary of the City of Lichfield date back to the late 1700s. Back then it was only a sixteen mile round trip. Although in 1806, local historian Harwood said they were based on 'ancient writings', I understand there is no earlier written description of exactly what constituted Lichfield. However, there are piecemeal records showing some of the boundary changes over the centuries. And there must have been a fair few changes to get from a medieval town you could walk around in an hour to a city with a circumference of sixteen miles.
Last week I spent a sunny morning trying to trace the boundary of what would have been the medieval town. With the help of John Snape's 1782 plan of Lichfield, it's actually fairly easy to do, even for someone as illiterate at map reading as me. Bishop Roger de Clinton surrounded the south part of the new town he had laid out in the late twelfth century with a bank and ditch and fortified the shared northern boundary of the town and Cathedral Close. Apart from a couple of inconveniently placed walls, you can pretty much walk the whole way around.
The moat marking the northern boundary of both medieval Lichfield and the Close. Described on Snape's map as a dry ditch or dumble.
Remains of the NE Tower, part of the Close's fortifications.
Thanks to archaeological investigations, we know that the town ditch in the St John's Street area was about five metres wide, two metres deep and inevitably, was also used as a public tip.
The driveway passing the Lichfield District Council Offices follows the line of the town ditch, and there's a plaque there too.
When a section in the Council House car park was excavated in 2008, archaeologists discovered the sole of a woman's shoe from the twelfth century, part of a medieval jug and the remains of a medieval dog's head.
This plaque is located at the junction of Lombard St, Stowe Rd and George Lane.
Back to plaque, looking up George Lane which was actually once part of the town ditch, possibly until the 16thc
Snape's plan also marks the gates, or bar(r)s, at the main entrances into and out of Lichfield, and there are plaques at each of the locations, with the, hopefully temporary, exception of the Sandford Street gate. The building it was mounted on has recently been demolished but I'm sure the plaque is being kept safely somewhere….
Perhaps the best known of the gates is the one at St John Street which is still recalled in the name of St John the Baptist without the Barrs. You know, the place with all the chimneys. As the name indicates, this stood just outside the gate and started out as a hostel for those arriving when Lichfield was closed for business for the night, many of them pilgrims on their way to see the shrine of St Chad at the Cathedral.
On the subject of names, the section of the ditch running from the gate on Tamworth Street, to the gate near St John's Hospital was known as Castle Ditch, and this, alongside hard evidence in the form of stones turning up nearby and evidence of a slightly more fluffy nature in the form of myth and folklore, has caused endless speculation as to whether Lichfield ever had a castle proper alongside the fortified Close with its towers, turrets and strong walls.
Remains of one of the towers which were part of the south gate between Dam Street and The Close. Excavated in the 1980s.
So, plenty of opportunities to get out more here. I think the two mile-ish walk around the ditch will make an excellent Lichfield Discovered adventure. I would also happily walk sixteen miles to find one of those old iron boundary markers although I may be on my own with this. It'd also be interesting to see how Lichfield has burst its boundaries over the years gobbling up all of the surrounding settlements, so much so that it'd take you six hours and twenty four minutes to perambulate the current perimeter, according to this walking calculator I've found. And that doesn't even include getting distracted by other things or stopping off at the pub. It'll have to wait though, as right now I'm off on an expedition to Borrowcop to see if I can capture Lichfield Castle.
1) If we're doing names, then I have to mention that Bakers Lane was once known as Peas Porridge Lane. Just because.

Lily's Medieval Jigsaw Puzzle
Posted on March 3, 2015 by Kate
Recently, twelve year old Lily made a very interesting discovery in Lichfield. Here's her account of how the contents of a cardboard box found in an old gaol cell turned out to be far more exciting than than anyone could have imagined….
"In November 2014, I went to the Lichfield Gaol Cells in the Guildhall. It was a Lichfield Discovered event, and we were going to look and see if we could find any graffiti, names, or dates on the gaol cell doors. About 7 or 8 of us came to the event all in all, I came with my Dad. Everyone else managed to find lots of writing and names on the doors, I didn't find much. Near the end of the session, we were looking inside the third jail cell, the one that is not normally open to the public. My Dad pointed out 2 boxes of old looking tiles on the floor, we took a quick look, but we didn't pay much attention to them.
Tiles in cardboard boxes in gaol cell now used for storage
The next time we came to the gaol cells was on 21st February, we had come back to see if there was any more graffiti that we had missed, also to take a second look at the boxes of tiles (Jo at the museum said it was ok). This time I had come with my Mom and there was around 8 people that turned up this time. Me and my Mom started looking through the tiles, we had picked about 5 up and we laid them on a chair to photograph them, but they werereally dusty so we couldn't see if there were any other patterns on them.
There were so many tiles that we couldn't fit any more on, we decided to move all of the tiles into the 4th cell, onto a wooden bed that the prisoners used to sleep in, (personally I would NEVER think of sleeping on one of them). We started taking some more tiles out of the box and moving them onto the bed. We moved them a few at a time, because the box was too heavy to lift. I had realised that there were a few tiles with the same pattern on. I really wanted to get a better look at what the patterns looked like, so my mom went to Wilko (just up the road) to buy 2 paintbrushes. When she got back we started brushing off the dust and dirt from the tiles we had got out, we could see the patterns a lot clearer. We had nearly finished emptying out the first box of tiles, and at the bottom my Mom found a bit of tile with 'Lichfield Friary' written on the back. She showed it to Kate and she said "Maybe it came from the old Friary!" and then we all got really excited!

We had found lots of bone shaped tiles that were exactly like the one that said 'Lichfield Friary' on it.
"Bone" shaped tiles
Whatever the floor was, it was really big. We had found LOADS of tiles that looked the same, and maybe they belonged to the same floor. I started trying to see if any of the tiles might fit together, there were loads of circular tiles, some with patterns on, and some without. There was one round tile, with a triangle and circles intertwined in a pattern. There were also pizza shaped tiles, without a tip, like someone had taken a pizza and cut the middle out with a cookie cutter, if you get what I mean. Those tiles had a kind of moon, with a starfish shape in the middle.

Plain "pizza" tiles
We had found one of these tiles that was complete and one that was broken, but fitted back together again. All the rest were broken, but I managed to get a full circle out of the fragments we had found. It was like a massive jigsaw-puzzle, but I did it in the end, and what was even more exciting, was that the circular tile fit perfectly inside the ring of pizza shaped tiles! Same with the tiles with no pattern on, but we didn't find another circular tile.
There was also another set of tiles. We had found about 8-10 of the same type, they were square, and they all had the same pattern on, the kind that can make 2 different types of patterns, depending on which way you put them.
Square tiles with pattern – my faves 🙂
Most of them were complete, apart from 3-4 of them which we only had corners of. I put them together, and they nearly made a 9 square pattern. These were my favourite tiles, and I hoped we found some more of them, we only had half a box or so left to get out. We did find a couple more of these tiles eventually. We finished emptying out the box, and then we started taking pictures of all the tiles. There wasn't much time left, so we took all of the photos really quickly. As a result, not many of the pictures were very good. And the light was quite dim in the cells, so the light wasn't the best either.
It was nearing the end of the session, so we had to put all of the tiles back in the boxes. I couldn't help thinking that the tiles were from the old medieval Friary. At least some of them.
Kate asked me if I could do some research to see if the tiles were from the Friary, Me and my Mom went to the Lichfield Records Office, to go and look at 'The Lichfield Friary' by P. Laithwaite, which was reprinted from the Transactions of the Birmingham Archaeological Society where a report of Councillor T. Moseley's findings from his exploration of the site in 1933 was given.

There were only 6 pages in the book. Page 5 had a drawing of some if the exact tiles we had found (the ones that looked like pizzas with the middle cut out) some with patterns, and some without.

Me and my mom were like O-O (AMAZED!). On the next page (page 6) there was a drawing on 3 tiles with different patterns on, all of which we had found in the box of tiles! 😀 (and my favourite one, the one that we had got like a 9 block square of the floor.)

We had found what we had come looking for, proof that the tiles in the boxes were Medieval from The Grey Friars' Church at The Friary!"
Note – this is not where the story ends! Lily is having an afternoon on the tiles with Jo Wilson, Lichfield City Council Museum and Heritage Officer and medieval tiles expert, Karen Slade this week, so look out for an update soon. Lily's doing such a great job – the initial discovery, the ongoing research, and writing it all up afterwards – that I'm thinking of joining the Right Revd Jonathan Gledhill in retirement and leaving Lichfield Lore in her more than capable young hands.

Bad Neighbours
Legend has it that in July 1403, two feuding neighbours from opposite sides of the River Trent set out to fight on opposite sides at the Battle of Shrewsbury. Sir William Handsacre was for the rebel Sir Henry 'Hotspur' Percy and loyal to King Henry IV was Sir Robert Mavesyn, whose name was said to derive from the French malvoisin meaning 'dangerous neighbour'. At Bridge Meadow, near to the site of High Bridge, it's believed that the paths of the two enemies crossed, as did their swords. Living up to his name, Mavesyn killed Handsacre but his victory was short-lived and he met his end at the Battle of Shrewsbury, 'standing with the King and fighting by his side even unto death', if the epitaph on his tombstone in the church of St Nicholas at Mavesyn Ridware is to be believed.
The church dates to the mid-twelfth century and stands near to the site of the manor house, which Sir Robert would have once called home. The medieval house was replaced in the early eighteenth century by what William Pitt described in 1817 as, 'a convenient box, pleasantly situated for a summer residence'. However, still in existence and visible from the churchyard is the ancient timber framed gatehouse, built using trees felled in late 1391 or before the spring of 1392, according to dendrochronology.
The Church of St Nicholas, Mavesyn Ridware

The final resting place of Sir William is unknown but in 1866, William Painter of The Red Lion Inn at Handsacre wrote a letter on the matter to George Griffith, author of 'The Two Houses: A Staffordshire Tragedy', a dramatic work based on the events of 1403. According to Mr Painter, when the church of St John the Baptist in Armitage was rebuilt in the mid-nineteenth century, a stone coffin was discovered in the north wall. Inside was a skeleton, with a full set of teeth and a sword. Local tradition had it that these were the mortal remains of Sir William Handsacre. (1)
In 1972, Sir William must have turned in his grave (whether in St John's or elsewhere) when vandals destroyed much of his former home, Handsacre Hall. In a bid to preserve what remained, I understand that the surviving fragments were moved to Avoncroft Museum in Bromsgrove, where again dendrochronology was used to date the timbers, giving a suggested date of around 1310, with some reused timbers from an earlier hall. According to the report by the Staffordshire Archaeological Society, the house had been derelict for at least six years prior to this and a photograph of the building taken around this time can be found on Staffordshire Past Track here. In its heyday it looked like this.
Information board at the site of Handsacre Hall
Nowadays the site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, still surrounded by a moat, ten metres wide and four feet deep, but also by a housing estate. It's said that on the island in the centre there are visible brick and sandstone remains and no doubt there is plenty of evidence of past lives at the hall below ground. Visiting in high summer, the only thing I could see (and feel unfortunately), were stinging nettles. Will be interesting to see what a return visit in winter will reveal.

Inspired by Brownhills Bob's love of the place and the inclusion of Holy Angels in Simon Jenkins' list of England's Thousand Best Churches, I finally visited Hoar Cross last weekend.
As Nikolaus Pevsner says in his book on Staffordshire buildings,'The story of Hoar Cross is well known enough', but it bears repeating here. Work on the red brick, Jacobean style hall, now used as a spa resort, began in 1862, shortly before Hugo Meynell Ingram married Emily Charlotte Wood. The hall was completed in 1871, but in that same year Hugo was killed in a hunting accident. The widowed Emily employed George Frederick Bodley and his partner Thomas Garner to build a church in his memory, in the grounds of the home they had shared. Emily died in 1904, her remains interred near to those of her husband, whose body had been brought here from the parish church at Yoxall, after the dedication of Holy Angels in 1876. It's said that Emily was never completely satisfied with her creation, but from what I've read it's considered a masterpiece by all those who know their stuff architecturally. For what it's worth, I think it's beautiful too.
If anyone wants to give me a lesson in how to take photos of windows & getting the light right I will be eternally grateful.
You wouldn't be able to tell, because the photo is so bad, but this tablet acknowledges the contribution of Lichfield sculptor and stone mason Robert Bridgeman and is decorated with a mallet, chisel and other tools.
However, as well as this story of love, loss and incredible architecture, I'm also interested in the earlier chapters in Hoar Cross's history. According to Horovitz's Staffordshire place name study, the name of the village was first recorded in 1230 as 'Horcros' and is thought to refer to a grey cross or boundary cross. Whether this was a marker for the point where the four wards of Needwood Forest once met, or whether it indicated the extent of land owned by Burton Abbey in these parts, or whether something else entirely is a matter for ongoing speculation. Whatever its purpose, the cross that gave the place its name is long gone and now it is only the name that remains.
There is another boundary marker on one of the grass verges in the village. It appears on a 1923 Ordnance Survey map as a 'boundary stone' and seems to mark a parish boundary – Hoar Cross sits between Yoxall and Newborough.
I'd also like to know more about the original Hoar Cross Hall – the medieval moated house, known as the 'Manor of the Cross'. According to Stebbing Shaw's History of Staffordshire, the hall was destroyed in the 1700s and a farmhouse built on the site. According to the English Heritage Pastscape record, there is little in the form of maps or archaeology to back up this anecedotal evidence but the fact that there is an 18thc farmhouse known as Hoar Cross Old Hall suggests that Shaw was probably correct.
Despite not setting foot in the spa (not really my cup of herbal tea), my trip to Hoar Cross left my mind and spirit feeling indulged. Before leaving, I stopped off to indulge my body too, with a drink at the Meynell Ingrams Arms. Dating back to the seventeenth century, this former farm house became a coaching inn known as the Shoulder of Mutton. The name was changed in the 1860s, around the time of Emily and Hugo's wedding, and the rebuilding of the Hall. Sadly, there was no sign of Basil, the horse who attracted media attention several years ago for actually walking into the bar and enjoying a pint of pedigree, but after a couple of hours at Hoar Cross, I had anything but a long face as I headed back to Lichfield.

Whilst having a browse in Lichfield Record Office, I came across an account of more archaeological finds discovered at Minster Pool. During the construction of a storm water sewer in the 1970s, surplus soil was taken from the pool to a council rubbish tip. One day Mr Miller, from the city's Engineering and Surveyoring department, happened to notice fragments of Cistercian ware amongst the peaty earth and alerted local experts. On examining the tip more closely, they discovered that the soil from Minster Pool also contained lots of fragments of leather.
Mr Miller and the others had discovered the remains of medieval leather shoes from a cobbler's workshop that had been operating near to Minster Pool between the years 1400 and 1550. It's thought that after being repaired several times, the shoes were in such bad condition that they were discarded by the cobbler (only for them to resurface on another rubbish heap some five hundred years later!). The account I read said that after their discovery, the shoes had been taken to Lichfield Museum. On returning home I was delighted to see that some kind soul had photographed some of them and added them to the Lichfield District Council flickr stream. However, in two and a half years they've only had sixteen views (and I think three of those were me!) so now you know the story behind how they were found, please pop and over and take a look at them here! It's a shame that we'll probably never know the story of the people the shoes belonged to, or the story of the cobblers who patched them up time and time again….

Looking for ancient crosses in Lichfield, has so far lead only to hints of their existence – a one line reference in an old book here, a placename there. Nothing concrete (or should I say stone?). So imagine how happy I was when I visited Ilam Park yesterday and found that were two thought to date back to the 10thc standing in the churchyard with a third shaft incorporated into the church wall…..
Church of the Holy Cross, Ilam, Staffs
…..and imagine how much I kicked myself when I got home and found out there was yet another stone, known as 'The Battle Stone', located in the grounds of Ilam Hall that I had missed!
However, as a consolation, I learnt at home that this spring near to the church is thought by some to be St Bertram's Well (although others place this on a hillside near to the village).
St Bertram's Well?
The Shrine of St Bertram (also known as St Bertelin or maybe Beorhthelm of Stafford) is inside the church. As you might expect, there is more than one account of St Bertram's life. The most well known version seems to be the tragic story that he was a Mercian Prince whose wife gave birth to a child in a forest. The wife and baby were killed by wolves and St Bertram became a hermit near to Ilam, It's thought this story might be represented on the churches font, which dates back to around the 12thc.
You can decide for yourself, if you look at this website on Romanesque sculpture, which gives a detailed description of the font, together with photos.
However, Stafford Borough Council have this version on their website, which doesn't feature the tragic part of the legend.
The legend of St Bertelin derives from the 14th century account of him by Capgrave in his 'Nova Legenda Anglie', retold by Dr Robert Plot in his 'Natural History of Staffordshire' (1686). He is reputed to have been the son of the Mercian prince, the friend and disciple of St Guthlac who, after St Guthlac's death c 700, continued his holy vocation on the islet of Betheney now Stafford. Here, he remained until forced to retreat from the ill-will of jealous detractors, when he repaired to Ilam, in Dovedale, Derbyshire where ultimately he died. His burial place in Ilam church was once a place of pilgrimage.
His burial place still seems to be a place where people come, not just seeking out history like me, but for spiritual reasons. As you can see from the photo of the shrine, prayers (I didn't read them) and candles are still left there.
I have found a copy of the 'Nova Legenda Anglie', but as my Latin only stretched to 'Caecilius est pater', I need a bit of time alone with google translate. So, I'll leave the legend of St Bertram/Bertelin there for now other than to say that it's believed that the remains of St Bertelin's chapel in Stafford were excavated in the 1950s and they discovered part of a 1,000 year old cross. And this one is made of wood!
Ilam, Stafford and I've seen references to existing crosses in Wolverhampton, Leek, Chebsey (between Eccleshall & Stafford), amongst other places. With the discovery of the 'Battlestone' in Ilam (the one that I missed!) in the foundations of a cottage, during a restoration in 1840, I'm still clinging to the hope that at least a fragment of one survives somewhere in Lichfield!

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the Holocaust is a "myth" and has suggested that the Jewish state of Israel be moved to Germany or Austria Europe or North America.
Addressing a gathering in the Iranian city of Zahedan last week, Mr. Ahmadinejad said the West has "fabricated a legend" which it holds "above God" of the systematic killing of 6.6 million Jews by Nazi Germany during World War II.
Ahmadinejad said that if Europeans insist the Holocaust occurred, then they are responsible and should pay the price.
"Today, they have created a myth in the name of Holocaust and consider it to be above God, religion and the prophets," Ahmadinejad said adding . "If you committed this big crime, then why should the oppressed Palestinian nation pay the price?"
"This is our proposal: If you committed the crime,then give a part of your own land in Europe, the United States, Canada or Alaska to them so that the Jews can establish their country," he said.
Ahmadinejad`s comments drew quick condemnations from Israel, the United States and Europe, which warned he is hurting Iran`s position in talks aimed at resolving suspicions about his regime`s nuclear program.
The White House said Ahmadinejad`s words "only underscore why it is so important that the international community continue to work together to keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons." Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said the speech illustrated "the mind-set of the ruling clique in Tehran and indicate clearly the extremist policy goals of the regime." The German government summoned the Iranian charge d`affaires to express its displeasure.
1) Is the holocaust a reality or spiced up with exaggeration?
2) What about Ahmedinejd's proposal of moving Israel to Europe or North America?
3) Is this justified that Palestinians pay the price of "holocaust" committed by Germany ?
4) What could be the impact of Ahmedinejad's statement on Iran, which is already under criticism for its nuclear programme?
A good opinion to the west as a whole given by the Iranian President.
First thing is to see that why the west is so eager to increase the quarrel with Iran.
Then the second thing is that how brave is the united west to raise a conflict against any muslim country and how will they be ready to solve the problem in any peaceful way. They do not possess any sympathy to Israel.
The answer is only that "The west is in high esteem of power".
Like President, Ahmedinejad, I also believe that since the Europeans committed the crimes against the jews, therefore, why should the Muslims of Palestine pay for that crime ? Israel should have been created in Europe. Since the Americans feel so strongly about the right of Israel to exist, they should give up some of the land they had stolen from the native Indians for Israel and relocate Israel inside the US. That would be a just solution to this problem, but I never expect that to happen as long as America remains a super power. Americans and the Europeans love to talk of Israel,s right to exist, at the expense of the Muslims in Palestine.

Nabi, and the religion the leaders such as bush blair paul martin with wmd and rebellian democracy have passed bill of parliament. They have established gay lesbian marriage,invasion .None existant Saud family in 1912 have taken into custody Mecca and Medina mosques with prophet muhammad pbuh buried .The Problem began in 1912 in Balkan with declared war on turkey( 1914) in serbia bosnia bulgario albania east europe with Lawrence of Arabia while Balfour declared a home for 22000 palestinian jews in 1917 as bani Israel .By using Allah Quran Nabi model a Jewish home has been established and then they abandoned Allah via gay-lesbian marriage bill.This development brought ww1 ww11 nazi war,six day war,Iraq war, Alqaeda Afghan war,Osama Bin ladin ,Iran war 9/11 ,serbia ,bosnia chechniya war .Now instead of 6 million palestinian living there ,Balfour's 22000 Jews (now 5-6 million jews) are occupying 80% of land.. 11 out of fourteen 9/11 alqaeda terrorists came from Custodian country Saudi Arabia.With this excuse they invaded iraq and they are not quitting.Canada is so big that 99 israel will fit in Canada's provinces or 50 france.Blair Bush Martin as above God bills ,sanction , massacres invasion consider muslim as threat to security to oil supply army and resident of Israel.Iranian President said even if above God religion nabi factor can be justified but holocaust is a myth with projected 5-6 million population factor.
ayotollahs(evil of axis ) muslims of the region (instead).President of Iran recommended that Almighty God be reinstalled via debate.
Iranian President's defination of "above God".
We in America believe the holocaust occurred because we have been told they found the camps with physical evidence that coincide with what survivors told in their stories. Allah himself does not want 2 states, he said this in the Bible, so the Jews are not living according to what God said he wants. There is one God, one religion, until everyone realizes this there will be no peace because his laws are not being followed, particularly to treat everyone as brothers. Palestinians are not less than Jews. Until the Jews recognize this they will continue to be "those feeble people" as God described them in the Bible. We don't want Sharon here, so please moving Israel to North America is not a good idea. The Palestinians were chosen by God to be martyrs, as is the descendants of the tribe of Benjamin which have settled in Afghanistan and today are called insurgent fighters. I think Iran needs to maintain a nuclear program for self protection. Look at a world map, country by country you can see each country being taken over by US forces. Iran will not be left as a sovereign state, after Cheney gets rid of the regime in Lebanon and Syria, he will take Iran, and then the End Times will come when he tries to get rid of all the Palestinians.
I know a number of Holocaust Survivors (mostly child Survivors). There are one or two who attend my Synagogue. These people bear their concentration camp serial number tattood on their arms.
Please don't deny the Holocaust. Religious people saying there was no Holocaust are like the Medieval Catholic Church torturing Galileo because he claimed that the sun had spots.
The question is not about the existence of Israel, rather it's about the psyche of supporting expansionism or coloniasm. Through out the history we have witnessed that rulers had have beleived in expanding their kingdom one way or the other. Whether it's justified or not, is a different ideological wishful thought, the reality is that once you gain the maximum power or might in this world, what should you do if not expand?
Christians believe to conquer the world with missionaries, Muslims have done it through missionaries and might, and in the recent history Jews have strategised their expansionist policy through empowering the intellect of their community and they have been quite successful.
I beleive, while rehtorics can make an impact over the media, but the real war is now to strategise the power of intellect. Muslims are being too emotional by using slogans, such as, "Death to America", "Death to Israel", instead of using' "Engage America in a dialogue" "Engage Israel in a dialogue"
But in the end, I still have not been able to understand the Psyche of Expansionism? One thing for sure, it's more than Greed!
Itanian Mullahs have puffed themselves to becone "Ayatullas" and "Ruhullas". Iran is no better than Iraq. It is even worse in that it is an odd man out even in the Muslim Ummah.
Ahmadinejad has wiped out all the good work that his predicessor Khatmi had done. The new president has made himself a laughing stock.
Jews were prophesied in a true and "sahie" Hadith to assemble in the holy land. Somebody should read it out to Ahmadinejad. There is a complete consensus on this "saying" of the holy Prophet (p.b.u.h). Israel is a curse on itself. Ahmadine- jad is at best only at making enemies and provoking them to come and attack Iran. Its people worship the cult of sublime Hazrat Imam Hussain. They have no voice in the affairs of the state.
at the founding ceremony of Israel. "Where was God when we were being exterminated in the Holocaust." the Zionists asked? Islam has no part in the intermitent divine punishments to the Jews. In fact Allah is also "Merciful and a dispenser of grace" to the peacenik Israelis.
Iran needs an internal shake-up and to rid itself from the cult worship.
It was wrong for Mr Ahmadinejad to say those bad things about the Holocaust and Israel.
Mr Ahmadinejad must say sorry for saying those bad things about the Holocaust and Israel.
By saying those bad things, he has only made Iran come under even more scrutiny and puts his presidency into question.
On reading general comments of various people, it appears that the true picture of Israel is not clear to them. The Iranian president, Ahmadinejad appears not only completely ignorant of Jewish history but he also presents a bizarre figure in the diolomatic circles.
Jewish uncontrollable nostalgia and its deep love for holy land can be guaged from the fact that no Jew would ever ask another Jew to abandon the Holy Land. Their moans and bewailings for their lost country innthe first exile in Babylon were answere in not only their return to the country but God also empowered them over the enemy and restored their former grandeur and supremacy. Please, refer to 'sura' "Bani Israel" early verses. No people were ever made by God, before or after, as exalted as the Israelis. Yes, they also are a queer folks, radical, stiff-necked, and rebellious. It may be that they represent the combined vices of all previously destroyed communities for their "kufr" and denial of divine "Truth" as an example to other nations, but there are also pious and saints among them to justifytheir survival, "unto the Day of Resurrection."
One had expected from Iran an interaction with Israelis to woo and wean some of them towards Islam by telling them the apocalyptic appearance of Imam Mehdi on one side and the "Dajjal" (Antichrist) on the other side. How naivety on the part of Ahmadinejad to ignore the coming of Imam Mehdi and Jesus Christ. If Israel were to be shifted to Europe, or Canada, etc., does he mean that the promised Imam were to travel all the way from Mecca, and Jesus Christ from Damascus in hot pursuit of the israelis?
It is time that a true picture of the "essential" creation of Israel should be made clear and its reality accepted by the Muslim Ummah. Palestinians have no place to live with the Israelis. One only needs to browse on the "Zionis websites" to know the deep hatred of Jews of each other and the worst vices practised in Tel Avive, where prostitution is not considered any vice at all. Indeed, Jews on the one side have a most exalted place over mankind and on the other they degrade themselves at the lowest level of voices.
As for as Ahmadinejad is concerned, the sooner Iranians dump him the better for them and for the image of islam!
Typical Muslim. I see you do not want Israel in your beautiful new country of Canada. Guess what, I hope a Jew moves next to you so everyday that Jew can take his dog onto your lawn to do his business! I hope in your hell you are surrounded by Jews. Then again maybe having you around would be their hell. You Muslim Dog.
Tarek, as typical of you, you speak crazy talk. Israel is hated for many of the same reasons the west or Microsoft is hated.....they have power. Israel won a war with that land years ago...and your land was at one time occupied by others. The reason they are still around is that they are powerful and smart. The reason Iran won`t mess with Israel has nothing to do with the US, it`s because Israel will destroy Iran.
It`s absurd to move Israel away from Jerusalem. Would you consider moving away from Mecca? Put some time into thought before you post next time.
Jews always tell a lie.
Holocaust is very big fraud of 20th century.
course is the europeans who massaccred millions of jews , and on the other hand the israelis are doing the same thing via other methods to palestinians. And if iran is getting questioned over nuclear issues , then so should every other country on planet earth. every country has the right to defend itself. Fianly I would hope and wish this world can get rid of these devastating weapons.We dont need them shouldn make them .
Hi ! G I Joe.
Holocaust of the Jews is in the past and now they live and prosper, by inflicting same wounds on Palestinians.
The Iranian President is an emotionalized, sorrowful, parochial minded disaster. He seems to be relishing the world media attention right from the day he took office last summer (a little before that actually). He's probably a manic who wants to take on the West and Israel without realizing the power and the might of those countries. He's providing every excuse to George Bush and Company to attack his downtrodden country and thereby screw up its poor citizens. Leaders like him are a wrath of God. He should be overthrown or made to leave ASAP otherwise Iran may soon find itself down on its knees, thanks to the insanity of Ahmadinejad.
Mr Iran's Presitend Just put the "concentration camp" words into google.com search engine and take a look. You will see what has happend here in Europe some 60 years ago. If you do not want to do it, so I am inviting you to visit my country or simply visit me and I will take you to places to see whole sad history of Rusian, Israeli, Polish and other nations during the WW2. I am not Jew, even from my background but I think that everyone on this planet should know what has happend, when, why and who did it. It is importent to remmeber it to not do it never again by any nation to any nation.
How can the Holocaust be a myth? I know people personally who went through it.


The abrupt withdrawal of new guidelines that would have devastated the West Australian LNG and mining industry was just one battle among many facing the resources industry.

The ACCC has forced the waste management group to sell one Sydney waste processing facility to gain the all-clear for its Dial-A-Dump acquisition.
The Sydney judge who blocked a coal mine that would contribute to global warming faces what every judge dreads: questions about his impartiality.
Cleanaway chief executive Vik Bansal says the big waste-management group is ideally positioned as a king of defensive stocks in an economic downturn.

Lithium Battery Fires
Lithium batteries are everywhere these days, from smartphones to laptops, game controllers to E-bikes, and yes, electric vehicles. And although many people never experience danger with them, over 25,000 instances of overheating and/or fires have been reported in the past five years. The bottom line is this: defective batteries can lead to serious devastation.
Spontaneous Combustion
Lithium ions are used to power many devices, and have been known to spontaneously combust while they are charging. In just one city, the fire department reports nearly 70 injuries and five fatalities in the first half of 2021. But cities across the country have dealt with similar issues. They include:
The Lithium batteries from an e-scooter or bike sparked a blaze that killed a little girl, a woman, and three pets.
A lithium battery for an e-bike that was being charged burst into flames, causing serious destruction and injuring five people;
A fire at a battery storage warehouse that suffered damage after a battery caught fire;
A battery fire that resulted in the deaths of two teens and a woman in their fourth-floor apartment.
Why are Ion-Lithium Batteries Causing Fires?
When there is an anomaly in an ion lithium battery, the energy bank has a risk of overheating, leading to fires and/or explosions. The technical explanation is rather complex; suffice it to say that a combination of organic solvents can be a dangerous mix. Adding to the problem is the fact that the cathode may release oxygen, feeding the fire and sustaining it despite efforts to extinguish it.
A number of safety tips can improve your chances of having an uneventful relationship with ion-lithium batteries:
Look for the Underwriters Laboratories Mark (UL) on any device, ensuring it has been tested for safety;
Read and follow instructions for storage, charging and use;
Avoid charging any device on a couch, bed, or pillow;
Use only the cord and adapter provided by the manufacturer for any device;
Store devices and batteries at room temperature out of direct sunlight;
Recycle old batteries properly at a battery recycling site.
Call 911 immediately if a battery:
Makes noise;
Changes color;
Emits an odor;
Leaks.
After a Fire
Unfortunately, even with proper care, lithium batteries can surprise you with a fire. Besides, many of these fires have occurred in apartments, impacting people who didn't even own the fire-causing battery in the first place. So after one of these tragedies occurs, where does it leave you?
If you or a loved one has been the unwitting victim of a fire that was caused by a lithium battery, what recourse do you have? At The Law Office of Hasson D. Barnes, our informed and adept Baltimore personal injury attorneys can help you navigate your legal questions.

Tour Joe Pesci's Hilariously Over-The-Top Lavallette, NJ Mansion
Matt Ryan Published: February 3, 2021
Academy award winner and New Jersey Hall of Famer Joe Pesci is one of the treasures of the Garden State. The 77-year-old Newark native has been in at least 37 feature films over his career. With that kind of success comes the perks. For example, a mansion on the water in Lavallette priced at $6.5 million.
Pesci built this house in 1990 and from the looks of it, he hasn't updated since then. The property has been on the market for a very long time.
Come take a journey back in time to see what early '90s luxury looked like with a twist of Jersey.
