Meghan Markle confirms father will not attend her wedding
US actress, Meghan Markle, confirmed on Thursday her father would not be attending her wedding to Britain's Prince Harry, the grandson of Queen Elizabeth, putting an end to days of speculation.
Markle's father, Thomas Markle, had been due to walk his daughter down the aisle at the glittering ceremony at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday.
But the former lighting director for TV soaps and sitcoms gave a series of contradictory statements this week about whether he would be there; with the Los Angeles-based celebrity website TMZ.com saying he had undergone heart surgery on Wednesday.
"Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding. I have always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health," Meghan Markle said in a statement.
"I would like to thank everyone who has offered generous messages of support. Please know how much Harry and I look forward to sharing our special day with you on Saturday."
Saturday's wedding will be a sumptuous show of British pageantry, likely to attract a huge world audience.
Supporters hope the union of one of the most popular royals and a glamorous American actress, a divorcee with a white father and an African-American mother will reinvigorate the monarchy.
However, much of the carefully-planned and choreographed build-up to the ceremony has been overshadowed by confusion over whether Markle's father.
Her mother, Doria Ragland, a yoga instructor and social worker, has arrived in Britain and is due to meet the 92-year-old queen and her husband, Prince Philip, 96, on Thursday.

Although at the last conference of the two great powers nothing was stipulated on a certain point, nor any treaty concluded on the obligation of initiating a correspondence, and consequently no external means of compulsion exist, nevertheless the little scribe with the pretty curls feels inwardly compelled to open the ball, and indeed with feelings of the deepest, sincerest love and gratitude towards you, my dear, good and only sweetheart. I think you had never been more lovable and sweet and charming, and yet every time after you had gone I was in a state of delight and would always have liked to have you back again to tell you once more how much, how wholly, I love you. But still, the last occasion was your victorious departure; I do not know at all how dear you were to me in the depths of my heart when I no longer saw you in the flesh and only the true image of you in all angelic mildness and goodness, sublimity of love and brilliance of mind was so vividly present to my mind. If you were here now, my dearest Karl, what a great capacity for happiness you would find in your brave little woman. And should you come out with ever so bad a leaning, and ever such wicked intentions, I would not resort to any reactionary measures. I would patiently bow my head and surrender it to the wicked knave. "What", how? -- Light, what, how light. Do you still remember our twilight conversations, our guessing games, our hours of slumber? Heart's beloved, how good, how loving, how considerate, how joyful you were!
How brilliant, how triumphant. I see you before me, how my heart longs for your constant presence, how it quivers for you with delight and enchantment, how anxiously it follows you on all the paths you take. To Pabschritier, to Merten in Gold, to Papa Ruge, to Pansa, everywhere I accompany you, I precede you and I follow you. If only I could level and make smooth all your paths, and sweep away everything that might be an obstacle to you. But then it does not fall to our lot that we also should be allowed to interfere actively in the workings of fate. We have been condemned to passivity by the fall of man, by Madame Eve's sin; our lot lies in waiting, hoping, enduring, suffering. At the most we are entrusted with knitting stockings, with needles, keys, and everything beyond that is evil; only when it is a question of deciding where the Deutsche Jahrbucher is to be printed does a feminine veto intervene and invisibly play something of a small main role. This evening I had a tiny little idea about Strasbourg. Would not a return to the homeland be forbidden you if you were to betray Germany to France in this way, and would it not be possible also that the liberal sovereign power would tell you definitely: "Emigrate then, or rather stay away if you do not like it in my states." But all that, as I have said, is only an idea, and our old friend Ruge will certainly know what has to be done, especially when a private little chick lurks like this in the background, and comes out with a separate petition. Let the matter rest, therefore, in Father Abraham's bosom.
This morning, when I was putting things in order, returning the draughtsmen to their proper place, collecting the cigar butts, sweeping up the ash, and trying to destroy the "Althauschen" [?], I came across the enclosed page. You have dismembered our friend Ludwig and left a crucial page here. If you are already past it in your reading, there is no hurry; but for the worthy bookbinder, in case it is to be bound, it is urgently needed. The whole work would be spoilt. You have certainly scattered some more pages. It would be a nuisance and a pity. Do look after the loose pages.
Now I must tell you about the distress and misfortune I had immediately after you went away. I saw at once that you had not paid any attention to your dear nose and left it at the mercy of wind and weather and air, and all the vicissitudes of fate, without taking a helpful handkerchief with you. That, in the first place, gave me grave concern. In the second place, the barber dropped in. I thought of putting it to great advantage and with rare amiability I asked him how much the Herr Doctor owed him. The answer was 7 1/2, silver groschen. I quickly did the sum in my head and 21/2 groschen were saved. I had no small change and I therefore gave him 8 silver groschen in good faith that he would give me change. But what did the scoundrel do? He thanked me, pocketed the whole sum, my six pfennigs were gone and I could whistle for them. I was still on the point of reproving him, but either he did not understand my glance of distress or Mother" tried to soothe me -- in short, the six pfennigs were gone as all good things go. That was a disappointment!
Now I come to a matter of dress. I went out this morning and I saw many new pieces of lace at Wolf's shop. If you cannot get them cheap or get someone else to choose them, then I ask you, sweetheart, to leave the matter in my hands. In general, sweetheart, I would really prefer at present that you did not buy anything and saved your money for the journey. You see, sweetheart, I shall then be with you and we shall be buying together, and if someone cheats us, then at least it will happen in company. So, sweetheart, don't buy anything now. That applies also to the wreath of flowers. I am afraid you would have to pay too much, and to look for it together would indeed be very nice. If you won't give up the flowers, let them be rose-coloured. That goes best with my green dress. But I would prefer you to drop the whole business. Surely, sweetheart, that would be better. You can do that only when you are my dear lawful, church-wed husband. And one thing more: before I forget. Look for my last letter. I should be annoyed if it got into anyone else's hands. Its tendency is not exactly well-meaning, and its intentions are unfathomably malevolent. Were you barked at as a deserter when you jumped in? Or did they temper justice with mercy? Has Oppenheim come back and is Claessen still in a bit of a rage? I shall send Laffarge on as soon as I can. Have you already delivered the letter of bad news to E[...]? Are the passport people willing? Dearest sweetheart, those are incidental questions, now I come to the heart of the matter. Did you behave well on the steamer, or was there again a Madame Hermann on board? You bad boy. I am going to drive it out of you. Always on the steamboats. I shall have an interdiction imposed immediately on wanderings of this kind in the contrat social, in our marriage papers, and such enormities will be severely punished. I shall have all the cases specified and punishment imposed for them, and I shall make a second marriage law similar to the penal code. I shall show you alright. Yesterday evening I was dead tired again, but all the same I ate an egg. Food shares, therefore, are not doing so badly and are going up like the Dusseldorf shares. When you come, it is to be hoped they will be at par, and the state guarantees the interest. However, adieu now. Parting is painful. It pains the heart. Good-bye, my one and only beloved, black sweet, little hubby. "What", how! Ah! you knavish face. Talatta, talatta, good-bye, write soon, talatta, talatta.

Feds accuse R Kelly of spreading herpes
Federal prosecutors say they've obtained the singer's health records
on August 18, 2019, 11:25am
R Kelly is the subject of two federal indictments, one in New York and another in Illinois, both involving a litany of sex crimes. In the New York case specifically, the disgraced R&B singer is charged with racketeering and violations of the Mann Act, as well as with having unprotected sex with a young woman without telling her "he had contracted an infectious venereal disease." Earlier this month, Kelly pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Last year, a woman named Faith Rodgers accused Kelly of spreading a sexually transmitted disease without her knowledge. Dallas police investigated her claim, but ultimately decided not to move forward with charges. However, earlier this year Rodgers testified before a federal grand jury, and her allegations were included in the New York indictment.
According to Bossip, federal prosecutors have warned Kelly's legal team that they have proof that Kelly gave Rodgers a STI. In an August 15th email, Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Geddes said her office had obtained Kelly's health and medical records from Walgreens, University Health Systems, and Urgent Care, which provide proof Kelly received ongoing treatment for the herpes virus.
After being denied bond over concerns he was a flight risk, Kelly remains in federal custody awaiting trial. Beyond the two federal indictments, he's also facing 40-70 years in prison in Illinois stemming from state charges of aggravated sexual abuse brought against him back in February. What's more, earlier this month he was charged with a pair of sex crimes in Minnesota.

Look what arrived at the airport in Hong Kong – happy new year to me! It's my Lowe Alpine backpack. Apparently my luggage was chilling in Vancouver. I was soooooo happy to finally see my backpack. Thanks Air Canada.
Happy New Year from Hong Kong! Last night I watched the countdown from Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui East Promenade (everyone just refers to it as the Harbour) in southern Kowloon – saw a light show and fireworks.
The crowd was stoked for New Year's Eve! Coming from New York City, I used to take this as a given, but it's really not. Many countries celebrate NYE, but don't really care about the actual countdown to the precise moment that it's the new year. The countdown is such a silly tradition but I love it! HK definitely made it a big deal, following their daily light show over the skyline with fireworks (which were very cool but brief).
It was the 2nd time I've seen New Year's Eve fireworks come from the sides of a building (last year's NYE celebration from Taiwan's Tapei 101 being the first). Both were impressive.
See for yourself — here's the 0:51 video clip of Hong Kong on New Year's Eve with Hong Kong countdown and fireworks.

Dangerous range policies?
By Ray Ray, May 13 in Ranges & Gun Shops
Okay, I know this will piss off many members here and some range owners BUT I will. I find it extremely dangerous that SOME ranges allow new shooters to rent big bore semi autos, revolvers and AKs. Me and a friend used a local range that I like and have been to many times. But this time was the first time I went on a Friday so it was crowded. There were all kinds of new shooters renting guns. Now, some rented basic guns like 22s, Glocks and Berettas. But many (mostly young males) decided to rent 44 magnum, 50 AE and AK47s. Why, as a range owner, would you allow a new shooter to rent a firearm that is meant for an experienced shooter? We found ourselves continuously checking the other ports for dangerous activities. Yes, you should do that anyway but when the dude next to you has never shot a gun and his first experience is with a 50 AE, we got a problem. Add to that, he is more excited about instagram likes than safety. Thoughts?

I hear the bitch in the OP, and agree. Hell I hate going to my PRIVATE MEMBERS ONLY club when other members are there; it's amazing how many of these old guys don't know or can't follow the rules.
Last range outing with a newbie, there was a member there I'd seen the day before, and while we were waiting for him to pack up I could tell he was curious as to why I was waiting to move the bench and hang targets. It's because you still had an uncased firearm on your bench, with the action closed, and you were packing up. I knew any moment you were going to touch it to put it away, and I knew you weren't going to follow the rule about no touchie when people are forward of the firing line. How did I know this? Because you'd done it the day before!
As someone with over 47 years of range experience under their belt, I can tell you that I've seen it all. Hot brass down the back, between the toes or into the cleavage! Miss-feeds, double-feeds, primer-only hand loads that don't go "BANG", hand loads that are double-charged & blow-up Glocks, even a friend that brought 7mm ULTRA-MAG ammo for his 7mm mag rifle & wondered why it didn't fit!
From a bidness standpoint, it's all about running your operation correctly, using computer data to view renting history of a gun renter/customer, having enough RSO's to handle the Newbies & thrill-seekers, and maintaining a tight ship at a commercial range that rents. Places like Gun For Hire get it right. Rentals in a "lock-box", carried by the RSO to the shooting port, and then RSO supervision to make sure you can handle the .50 AE's & .44 Mags before they walk away.
sota's experience is not uncommon. Patience IS a virtue, and can SAVE LIVES! EVERYONE at a private club is their own RSO. Sometimes the Old Farts Club needs a helpful "schmooze" to re-educate them & make them aware of their "faults". Hopefully we'll all grow that old together

A Fuddish friend of mine wanted to take his middle-aged daughter to the range and she wanted to go to scratch firing a gun off of her bucket list. I brought the two of them to a private range. I was hoping that we were alone and we were. She tried a couple of 22s and then graduated to a 9mm. She wasn't particularly fond of it. Anyway, I carefully made sure we were following the rules and I assist her. Next, he pulls out his 1911 and really wants her to try it. I didn't think it was a good idea. But I let it happen and got behind her and put my hands around hers around the gun, and thank God I did. She didn't have that gun at all.... We were done at that point. She was done. i doubt she would ever go shooting again.
Once a guy next to me was shooting a 357 and had his hands in the wrong location . Since he didn't seem to be that comfortable in what he was doing I watched him and offered him some advice. I quickly told him that that wouldn't be a good idea.
That scene from Las Vegas in which the girl was given a fully automatic and killed her instructor comes to mind. Anyway, all responsible shooters have a responsibility to maintain safety and educate, etc. when necessary. I don't usually go to a public range, but when I have been there I thought they were pretty vigilant.

I think it depends on the individual shooter. First handgun I ever shot was a 44mag. I had no problems controlling it at 12 or 13 years old. I did have an adult who was teaching me standing right behind me making sure I did everything safely though
FWIW I used to o to EFGA on Friday evenings and almost always had the entire property to myself

I tend to agree. Based upon actually working with lots of first-timers at Old Bridge R&P Club Ladies Day for a long time (up until recently---our Hog Hunt was on the same day this year), and having fond memories of wide smiles on the ladies kissers after being correctly taught how to shoot a 1911 in .45 ACP. If not taught correctly, one hell of a flinch is developed, so best to start with something a little less "potent" for most folks. Most 12 or 13 yr olds don't have large enough hands to wrap around the grips. You're not "the rule", you're more of "the exception", lol!
That all being said, my son (at 13) loved the .38 spl revolver & could shoot it all day long. He shot my Model 29 back then, but it was a little much for him. Again, a personal, individual decision...

i agree and disagree. When I worked at a range as a RSO and sales, I regularly instructed many new shooters how to handle and shoot larger bore firearms. With proper instruction they were capable of safely shooting the firearms many times better than "seasoned" shooters.

@Ray Ray I don't think you are pissing off to many people with that statement.
I would even go to say further, it's stupid to shoot an AR, AK, Mosins, or any other rifle at a 25 yard indoor range. (22's excluded). One exception being you are trying to sight in gun, test something, etc.
As far as renting, I personally agree with you, but as a 2A believer, I believe as long as people are being safe or not in a position to hurt others, they can do as they please. When it comes to renting... this is why I think renters should have an RSO who is watching them like a hawk, especially if it is their first few times at the range or in NJ, don't have an FID or not there with an experienced shooter or someone you know.
But this is also why I generally don't shoot at public indoor ranges... once you are muzzle swept a few times you just call it a day. lol.
But then the question is... who is more likely to be irresponsible, the guy coming in to rent a gun, OR the semi-newish gun owner who is bringing his wife/gf/friends to come shoot and wants to impress them with a bigger gun?
It's quite funny, about 10 years ago when I was a newish gun owner, shot a Desert Eagle 44... was getting late, some hotter loads... I double tapped it by accident. A few weeks ago shot the same gun and was expecting that same massive recoil still in my head.... nope, not even close. The difference being about 100,000 rounds fired from the first time I shot a 44 Deagle and now.
I think it is especially worse for people who are not naturally bigger and can displace the recoil throughout the body. For smaller people, having proper grip, and for long guns, having it tight in the pocket is the difference between a good shot and a dislocated shoulder or the muzzle hitting you in the forehead.
This is why I had so much respect for my friend who is a newer gun owner, despite being a fairly big guy, 6'3" 240, when he passed up on shooting a 50 BMG when offered because he was not comfortable yet.
So here is a question for everyone... "If you were a gun store owner, do you put a max on the caliber you rent to new or non-gun owners?"

Not meant to be a joke. I've had many altercations over the years and unfortunately you must keep your head on a swivel. I've yelled at people more than once. You just have to be diligent. Shit happens and hopefully nothing really bad comes out of it. The best ranges have problems no matter how hard they try.
No restrictions, EVER, but it is the owner's choice.

THe big bore hand cannons I can understand. recoil management issues can turn dangerous there.
I'm not sure the complaint about the AK. Long guns in general require more effort to point at me because you are a dumb ass, especially in a range with ports. If the range is built to take the hits, why would I care? A rifle someone is obviously doing stupid shit with is less bad IMO than a small pistol with a "tame" cartridge being used in a stupid manner more obscured by a port wall.
What's polite and not punishing in terms of noise and pressure wave in an indoor setting is a different question.

If I can walk into the same store and buy a 50cal why shouldn't I be able to rent one?
Should we restrict what guns a newbie should own?

Some of this thread reminds me of a guy I knew back in the 70s. He was a new shooter and was interested in hunting. He didn't want to be underhanded so his first rifle was a 460 Weatherby. He had more money than common sense.
I figured it couldn't be any worse than the Boys Anti-Tank rifle I had fired a couple rounds through and took the first shots out of his new rifle. Showed him it wasn't going to hurt him...too much.

Accessibility News Roundup – Shoot 1UP DX, B.ARK, and Xbox Game Pass
by Michael Matlock | Oct 26, 2020 | News | 0 comments
Shoot 1UP DX
The developers over at Mommy's Best Games have decided to port one of their decade-old classic shoot 'em up games, Shoot 1UP DX, previously an Xbox 360 title, to the Nintendo Switch. They're also bringing a host of accessibility options with this release. The game has multiple ways to customize your experience from speed control, remappable controls, and options to change individual sound levels. HUD height can be scaled up or down, and there is an auto-shoot function you can toggle in the options menu. The choice to include one-button/one-switch mode will surely benefit disabled gamers with fine-motorl impairments. This lets you play the whole game with just one button or switch control (adaptive devices). If you're looking for a great shoot 'em up game with accessible options, look no further than Shoot 1UP DX!
B.ARK
Speaking of accessible shoot 'em up games I've got another to add to the list! B.ARK (Bio-Interstellar Ark) is a game with cute anthropomorphic animal pilots and helpful options for disabled gamers. B.ARK's developers say they want to make the game accessible for everyone. The developers tweaked easy mode so players who just want to experience the game without timed missions can play without worry. This mode also lowers the collision impact damage, eliminating instant death scenarios for the player. The team is interested in adding more accessibility options like color coding before the game's release. Also, they're being cautious about strobing effects that could affect players with epilepsy during gameplay. Look forward to the full release later this year on PC and Nintendo Switch.
Microsoft seems to be increasing focus on their Xbox Game Pass leading up to their new console release in the coming weeks. Recently, they've been making more Xbox games available on mobile devices with touch controls. Game Pass Ultimate members now have ten new games they can play with touch controls, including Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Dead Cells, and Tell Me Why. It isn't just about bringing the games to mobile devices though because all these games can now be played without a controller. Other accessibility options are included as well, like the ability to move the touch controls around to better suit your play style. Microsoft also insists each design team worked on their own respective games when it came to these updated controls. So the interfaces and button layouts were tested so that the modified controls fit the action of each game. You can check out the full list of new Xbox games with touch controls in the linked article.

Michelle Dockery: "Lady Mary's sexuality seems outrageous in Downton Abbey"
The Downton Abbey cast talk sex, class tension and controversy – and why the series is the hottest TV show on the planet
by: Eamonn Forde
Earlier this year Downton Abbey was sold to Japan. This was, in executive producer Gareth Neame's words, "the last remaining major market" to collapse under its unrelenting march. Incredibly, a drama about life in a large English country house a century ago is the hottest TV show in the world.
Downton's fifth series takes place in 1924 – a seismic 12 months in the country's history. Benny Hill and Tony Hancock were born, the Sunday Express debuted the newspaper crossword, Wickford in Essex became the location of the first nudist camp in the UK, and John Logie Baird successfully sent rudimentary television pictures over a short distance. But something else, something more political, was brewing.
The year 1924 also saw the election of a (short-lived) Labour government and the hairline cracks in the country's class system, coming in the aftermath of the Great War, became fissures. In Downton, the old certainties are being cast out of the drawing room's ceiling-high windows as its upstairs residents look on aghast and its downstairs staff glimpse the start of a different social order.
Having a Labour government is tantamount to the gates of the estate being ripped down
Class tension, gender politics and self-improvement are proving themselves weighty themes this series, neatly epitomised in one character – Sarah Bunting, the radicalised schoolteacher who rails against the inherited and patriarchal privilege underpinning the Abbey.
"Having a Labour government is tantamount to the gates of the estate being ripped down and communism stamped all over it," says Hugh Bonneville, who plays Lord Grantham, owner of the Abbey and a man desperate to ensure the future of both his estate and his dynasty. "Sarah Bunting is not just a political opposite to everything he stands for, she is also just bloody rude."
How rude?
"She's a horrible cow and he can't wait to see the back of her."
Downton may sell a mythical image of England to overseas audiences but it is far from a cosy, safe show as it tackles bristly and controversial issues head on. It is less about horse and hound and more about Trojan horsery.
Alongside accelerating class issues, the previous series ran a hugely controversial storyline where housemaid Anna Bates was raped – and there is the ramping up this series of underbutler Thomas Barrow's struggles with his sexuality.
"For the first time in his life he realises he is going to be alone if he continues to be a practising gay man," says Robert James-Collier who plays Barrow.
"He is questioning being gay and wanting to change who he is to fit in with the world around him. I am glad that the show deals with his sexuality. Not because he is gay but because he is gay in Edwardian times – a time when it was illegal and against God."
At the same time, the suffragette movement was gaining momentum and women over the age of 30 had only just won the vote six years earlier. It would be another four years until full suffrage was declared. This was a period of immense upheaval in the old order, and women, argues Phyllis Logan who plays housekeeper Mrs Hughes, are the real catalysts in Downton.
"Most of the men are resistant to change," she says. "Lady Cora is American and has more liberal attitudes as they don't have that class system there – supposedly. And Mrs Hughes is trying to push Mr Carson away from being so rigid and to loosen up."
This is accentuated by the presence of Bunting and her influence on kitchen maid Daisy's slow awakening to education as a tool of self-improvement.
As one of the lead characters, Lady Mary represents the modern woman of the time, albeit from a position of immense class and financial privilege, refusing to buckle under misogynistic presumptions. "Mary is never short of a suitor," says Michelle Dockery, who plays her.
Women were asking those questions at the time and so much had changed since the war
"She is beginning to consider the choices she has and wonder why she can't be intimate with a man before deciding if he's the one. It feels incredibly modern and outrageous in something like Downton. But actually it wasn't, as women were asking those questions at the time and so much had changed since the war."
I ask her what Mary would, almost a century on, have made of dating app Tinder. "It would be a nice thing for Mary to have," she exclaims but wonders how it would have worked at the time. I suggest that suitors stand outside the window and she sweeps her hand right or left to indicate if they are to be rejected or investigated further. She seems happy with this anachronistic workaround but adds: "I wouldn't want to live in that time because so much has changed. For me it's nice to just dress up in those clothes."
Downton's success is such that it is sprinting furiously to keep up with demand. A sixth series is confirmed for next year and the producers are heavily hinting that a film could follow. Plus, this year the merchandise department is going to be reproducing some of the show's signature dresses and selling them to an eager public who don't just want to watch Downton – they want to live in it.
"Downton Abbey is an extension of what the British royal family represents," says James-Collier on its appeal. "Look at when Wills and Kate got married – over two billion people watched that worldwide. It is that fascination with royalty and the glamour that exudes, and the show is an extension of that."
I posit the theory to Bonneville that, because it is so English and so globally successful to the point where fans want any piece of the show they can get, it's The Beatles of TV. "Oh God!" he booms before mentally checking off which character is which Beatle. "Obviously Mr Carson is Ringo – keeping the beat going," he starts. "Tom Branson is Paul. Barrow is John. Hah hah!" And who is he? "I think I am Pete Best."
For those in the show there is incredible global fame, not quite Beatlemania levels but it makes picking a holiday destination that bit more precarious given how many countries the show now airs in. Celebrity fans include JJ Abrams, Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, who will make a cameo in this year's Christmas special that is arguably more anticipated than was his Venetian wedding.
Asked to sum up its global appeal, Elizabeth McGovern (Lady Cora) says: "There is always a character that somebody can respond to. It is very unusual to have a show with so many characters and so many stories. That is what makes it distinctive."
He'd be the last person I'd expect to watch it. A big, tough, grown man
Dockery says it is those she would least expect to be fans who, when they meet her, illustrate just how big the show is. "I'll meet a burly east London cab driver and he'll go [adopts guttural Cockney accent], 'Oi, you're Lady Mary, ain't ya? Love the show'," she exclaims. "He'd be the last person I'd expect to watch it. A big, tough, grown man."
Previously seen in Coronation Street playing Liam Connor, James-Collier says Downton brings a distinctive type of recognition compared to being in the country's biggest soap. "The difference is that we are only on eight times a year so you are not going to get as much recognition in the street. You are not in people's living rooms every night of the week. Also, the fact I am in a full-on Edwardian costume with a quiff helps massively. I can go on the Tube and no one really bats an eyelid."
Phyllis Logan suggests Downton's success is down to "a nostalgia thing" and that it's "intriguing to watch a life that perhaps your ancestors once lived". But that sells the show incredibly short. It has to work within the parameters of Sunday evening TV fit for a global audience but that is not to say it is toothless and bland.
James-Collier points to a pronounced tension between understanding the audience but also wanting to push things along. "Sometimes you have to serve the slot," he says. "It's a Sunday 9pm slot so how gritty can you go? They are not scared to run things like the rape storyline, which was a fascinating story and a very brave decision to make.
"The show is sort of damned if it does and damned if it doesn't. If it's not gritty we get complaints. If they go gritty and show something powerful, upsetting and moving like rape, they get criticised for that as well. You have to get the balance right for the audience."
Seemingly parochial in subject matter yet forcefully global in its reach, Downton is a genuine TV phenomenon. England has conquered the world again, this time as an Empire of the screen.
Series five of Downton Abbey is available on Blu-ray and DVD. The Christmas special will be on ITV on December 25

500 additional policing hours will help tackle anti-social behaviour in Dublin City Centre – Higgins
500 additional policing hours as part of a new garda operation in our capital city will ensure that anti-social behaviour is minimised in our communities, according to a Fine Gael TD.
Dublin Mid West Deputy Emer Higgins said anti-social behaviour, public order and assaults are being targeted through increased visible policing at key locations under the newly-unveiled Operation Citizen.
Deputy Higgins said: "High visibility policing is known to have a positive impact, as a Garda presence on our streets makes people feel safer and acts as a deterrent for people who might engage in anti-social behaviour and criminal activity.
"Figures have shown there has been a decrease in most crimes during the pandemic, with public order offences down by 10 per cent in the first half of 2021 compared to 2020. This could be due to the impact of Covid restrictions as more people were required to stay at home.
"Nevertheless, there have been worrying incidents that have led to concern . We have all seen videos on social media of anti-social behaviour and violence on streets and parks in Dublin City.
"Operation Citizen, which commenced last month, has seen in excess of 100 Gardaí patrolling Dublin City Centre each weekend evening.
"Daily there are in excess of 20 Gardaí on foot and mountain bike patrols, supported by 24 mobile patrol members from the four central Garda stations.
"Eight Gardaí are now full time assigned to specifically patrol River Liffey Boardwalk, Quays and environs every day from 4pm – 4am.
"The Garda National Public Order Unit (25 personnel on mobile patrols), Garda Mounted Unit and Garda Dog Unit are also providing additional support.
"All in all, the additional resourcing amounts to over 500 additional hours policing each week in Dublin City Centre alone.
"I have also been informed that dedicated operations and local policing plans are also in place in towns and cities across the country.
"I know the Minister for Justice Helen McEntee and the Government is aware of the negative impact anti-social behaviour has our communities and is constantly working with An Garda Siochana and resident and community stakeholders to tackle the problem.
"It is so important that people feel safe in Dublin, whether they live here, work here or own a business, or are visiting our wonderful capital city," Deputy Higgins said.

MyGURPS - Savage Rifts: What Books You Need
Savage Rifts: What Books You Need
Q: "I'm looking to get into Savage Rifts. What books do I need to start playing?"
A: Well . . .
Literally Must Have
Technically, you can run a Savage Rifts game with just these . . .
Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (SWADE): The various Rifts books aren't fully standalone in that they don't include the core SWADE rules, so you'll need this. You probably already own it.
Rifts 1: The Tomorrow Legion Player's Guide: This is the "core" Savage Rifts book. It includes the basic character options and gear, new rules for the setting, etc. You cannot run Rifts without it.
But Also These
. . . but in practice, you'll hate running a game without these, too.
Rifts 3: Savage Foes of North America: The bestiary, with both monsters and the normal human foes you'll be facing. Without this, you'll have to make up all NPC opposition.
Rifts 2: Game Master's Handbook: Almost as necessary as the bestiary. Full of setting info, additional rules, GM advice, a huge adventure generator, details on how rifts actually work, and more.
Note that the three Savage Rifts books above are available as part of the Adventure Box Set, which also includes the GM Screen and "Garnet Town Gambit," an excellent intro adventure.
That's all of the "needs", so now let's talk about the "wants" . . .
This is subjective, but once you have the above I suggest:
Rifts 7: Tomorrow Legion Field Manual: New character options and gear, rules for Journeys and Barter that I consider a must to use, and several adventures to run.
Expanding the World
Further books tend to focus on different parts of the setting. (Books 4-6 flesh out parts of North America, while Books 8+ expand to cover other regions.) Each one offers several new character options, new gear, monsters and NPCs, minor new rules, and a ton of new setting info. The latter includes new places and factions, new adventures (including a full Plot Point Campaign), and advice on helping the GM use these regions and factions in the game.
Rifts 4: Arcana & Mysticism: Fleshes out the arcane parts of North America, including the Spirit West, the Magic Zone and Federation of Magic, and Psyscape.
Rifts 5: Blood & Banes: Fleshes out the monstrous parts of North America, including the Vampire Kingdoms, Xiticix Hivelands, Mutant Lands, and Calgary Monster Kingdom.
Rifts 6: Empires of Humanity: Fleshes out the "mundane" human-dominated parts of North America, including the Coalition States, Domain of Man, and assorted areas of the West.
Rifts 8: Atlantis & the Demon Seas: Covers Atlantis (a continent occupied by the evil Splugorth) and oceangoing factions, including pirates and independent naval forces. Adds Bio-Wizardry and Tattoo Magic.
Rifts 9: Land of a Thousand Islands: Covers South America, including the warring north kingdoms, Cities of Gold, Silver River Republics, Empire of the Sun, Arkhon aliens, and Megaversal Legion. Adds Biomancy and religious options. Announced but unreleased.
Adventure Box Sets
These combine a "miniature setting book" for the area in question with new adventures, NPCs, handouts, etc. Effectively, each can be a "campaign in a box", a way to supplement a broader campaign, or anything in between.
Terror on the Dark Frontier: Set in the CS Frontier area, with a focus on the Comanche Preserve, the rivals/threats (1st Apoc. Cavalry, Simvan, Psi-Stalkers, etc.) they face, and something more horrifying. Announced but unreleased.
There are several free PDF downloads that you shouldn't overlook.
Savaging Your Favorite Rifts Ideas: Consider this Game Master's Handbook Part 2. Advice on adding more stuff to your Savage Rifts games, including some new Iconic Frameworks that work with other Savage Worlds products.
Welcome to the Post-Apocalypse: A beautifully illustrated introduction to the history, backstory, and setting of Rifts Earth.
One-Sheets and Character Sheet: Some "One-Sheet Adventures" along with a form-fillable character sheet.
Palladium Gaming Using Savage Rifts: This is the opposite of "Savaging Your Favorite Rifts Ideas", with advice on using Savage Rifts material in Palladium Rifts. You probably don't need this, but if you swap between systems (or are a Palladium gamer reading this page out of curiosity) it's invaluable.

New Developments Poise South Waterfront as Next "It" Portland Neighborhood
by Andrew Jankowski
After more than a decade's worth of development and growth, with intermittent periods of inactivity and depression, South Portland is set to be Portland's next important neighborhood, according to Portland Monthly. South Portland's rise to prominence has been a long time coming: the Great Recession's near-crippling of the area's development is still a public relations hurdle to overcome. But with Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) set to become one of America's leading medical research centers; with the immediately iconic Tilikum Crossing Bridge now open to non-auto traffic; and with construction back to booming with a vengeance, South Portland could soon be as distinct and easily recognized as Voodoo Doughnuts and Powell's.
How will we achieve an autonomous identity? Arts & culture, architectural innovation, and international ambitions. Before and during the Great Recession, South Portland lacked cultural attractions. Pop-up attractions formed in the vacuum made by the Great Recession; in summer 2013, Zidell Yards turned to a venue, hosting concerts, a food festival, and a drive-in movie theatre. Though the venue space no longer exists, the idea of a distinct South Portland entertainment culture was born, with new events now announced regularly.
South Portland's unique identity is married to its glistening architecture. The sleek glass-and-steel skyscrapers are found nowhere else in Portland; even downtown Portland's memorable skyscrapers, like Big Pink and the Portlandia Building, lack the modern gravitas of the South Waterfront. Architectural inspiration for these multibillion dollar buildings come from some of the world's foremost river-based cities, particularly Copenhagen. Surprisingly, even with all the pre-Recession money poured into the area, new architectural and engineering philosophies are shaping new post-Recession developments into a new image.
"Companies want to be more democratic, less top-down, more flat, more connected, more open," said Matt French, an heir and managing director of Zidell Marine and ZRZ Realty, on his decision to build horizontal campus-style building instead of traditional penthouse towers. But on its own, switching from vertical to horizontal complexes won't erase from Portland's memory the neighborhood's reputation as a cloistered, near-shuttered haven for the rich. With affordable housing construction falling dramatically short of the city's original 2003 goals for the area, more work may yet be needed to further diversify the notoriously secluded South Portland.
Creating a polished, unique identity separate from Portland's kitschy, quirky reputation may ultimately prove to be highly beneficial for the neighborhood. Creating an urbane, well-defined urban center around Portland's central river with nods to international influence could attract some of the world's top talents, or the country's most lucrative companies, to the area, bringing revenue and prestige to a city currently most famous for doughnuts and that guy from The Simpsons. OHSU's sky rail, for example, is the result of an international design contest.
One thing is for certain: construction and development are absolutely not slowing down. In the next decade or two, South Portland's landscape could look like a sci-fi city flung through a space-time rift, bringing through that wormhole promising, lucrative developments. " . . . Here's our vision to extend that original, incredible, bold move by developers," said Bob Haistings, TriMet architect, of his impression of French's plans for the South Waterfront's future, "But we're going to do it from our generation's perspective."

| For children?
It's very entertaining to find yourself and people you know living on the farm as cows, sheep, rabbits and as a lama(? the south American animal that spits on Tintins captain Haddock..?) The series makes several points- how are we, and how do we cope with our love life and social surroundings, issues are quite up-to-date, and apparently pretty universal, that is, if you are living in the western world... Here in Sweden it is broadcasted during the kid's TV hour. I think it's clearly for the adults, the most of the funny stuff is on the level of recognizing patterns of the real life and people. It is like "Shrek", where the details that entertain adults have taken over. And those details are very funny. The musical score is great, worldish Balkan-swing, like any Kusturica soundtrack. Yes, almost forgot, one of these "up-to-date-issues" is the multi national world we are a part of, some of the farm animals being foreigners, the issue is there, politically correct but hardly boring. The Swedish voices belong to some well known actors and work really fine too.

Ford Edge Will Get First I4 EcoBoost Engine
February 4, 2010 by admin 1 Comment
Ford's EcoBoost engine technology, which was introduced last summer in the Lincoln MKS, Ford Taurus, and Lincoln MKT, will soon expand to other vehicle lines. That original 3.5-liter V6 engine represents the first of a family of direct injection, turbocharged engines, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine up next. The smaller engine will find its way under the hood of the Ford Edge, a medium-sized crossover model.
The Importance of EcoBoost
What you see is the 2010 Ford Edge. At the 2010 Chicago Auto Show, a refreshed 2011 Edge will make its debut and feature an all-new engine.
EcoBoost technology is important for a number of reasons. First of all, the technology squeezes more horsepower and torque out of a smaller engine, giving it the ability to work as efficiently as a larger motor. Secondly, the engine burns cleaner, resulting in fewer harmful emissions. Thirdly, EcoBoost is more fuel efficient, allowing drivers to enjoy the mileage benefits of a smaller engine, while receiving the power of a larger one.
The 2011 Ford Edge will make its bow at this year's Chicago Auto Show. According to The Detroit News, this model will also be the first to feature the automaker's MyFord Touch system, an arrangement which replaces most of the standard gauges, switches and knobs with full-color computer screens and sensitive-to-the-touch buttons.

Mid-Cycle Refresh and More
The changes made for the Ford Edge represents a mid-cycle refresh, with the nose, hood, and windshield tweaked accordingly. But underneath the hood, the base 3.0-liter V6 will be replaced by the 2.0-liter four-cylinder (I4) EcoBoost, which offers similar power levels as the engine it replaces and with improved fuel economy. The optional 3.5-liter V6 remains; these engines will be paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Last month, Ford unveiled its refreshed Lincoln MKX, the luxury version of the Ford Edge. It, too, is receiving a significant mid-cycle upgrade, but Ford has not announced whether an EcoBoost engine will be made available for that model when it goes on sale later this year.
Both the Ford and the Lincoln are built at the company's Oakville Assembly Plant in Ontario, with the Edge ranked as the top-selling midsize crossover model.
Other Ford Motor News
In other news, Ford's January 2010 US car sales increased by 25 percent over January 2009, which was on the strength of its fleet sales. Retail sales were actually down for the month, but the fleet sales helped Ford record the best month-over-month improvement among the Big Six automakers. Ford also replaced Toyota as the second best-selling brand in the US as the Japanese automaker saw its sales decline in the face of a recall and sales halt.

This month you might have seen that we are doing lots of photoshoots. We only select models that are babywearers and at present these have been from our local babywearing group. We plan to open this up to other babywearers from the UK and around the world and we have lots of locations already planned for future releases. We currently do all of our photography in-house and all photos are copyright to Katie Meakin. We may from time to time seek to use other photographers' work and they will be credited at all times.
