Very rough sketch - I quite fancy working this up into something more finished.
Based on the meanings of their names.
Was tidying my bookshelf. Space is a bit tight, so I wondered if stacking books vertically might help.
I looked at my RJ Anderson books. A row of 7 books.
Since the row is longer than the books are tall, I could save space by rotating them and stacking them vertically.
This is a scientific fact, proven by experimentation.
If Job had his daughters today, and called them the same names, but in English, they would be called: Dove, Cinnamon and Mascara-Tube. (That's what Jemima, Kezia and Keren-Happuch translate as).
Came across this picture in an antiquities website.
It describes it as a 'stone disc idol'.
Personally, I think it's more likely to be a giant fossilised aspirin.
I really need to remove my childhood sticker collection from my chest of drawers. Other things are a bit more of a priority, though.
Took almost 3 albums worth of time.
Reading the Lord of the Rings. Hadn't realised how eschatological bits of the Return of the King are. Probably noticed it because I've been reading Revelation and the prophets recently.
"Is everything sad going to come untrue?"
"ancient of days he seemed and yet in the flower of manhood; and wisdom sat upon his brow, and strength and healing were in his hands, and a light was about him."
But of course, it falls short. Sauron was the enemy - but not the ultimate Enemy.
Aragorn may be the king around whom all this centres, but the enemy's downfall was not brought about by him. His bride is marrying way beneath her. And he is just a mortal human, not divine.
The healing is not complete, and it's not forever.
"These are a shadow of what was to come; the substance is Christ."

FLOCK is a dance center for movement exploration, creation and artistic practice, dedicated to Portland's dance artists.
FLOCK offers two distinct programs: Membership and Education.
Each of these programs nurtures a generous community spirit. Sharing space, information and inspiration bolsters the autonomy of artists' individualized practices while building community.
The Membership Program provides a committed studio home to eight of Portland's most driven and innovative contemporary dance makers at one time. Current members include: Lu Yim, Kaj-anne Pepper, Allie Hankins, Danielle Ross, Suniti Dernovsek, Eliza Larson, Deanna Carlson along with, Executive Director Tahni Holt.
FLOCK membership presents a much-needed alternative to the product-oriented, project-by-project model of studio access prevalent in our region. The membership framework allows artists accustomed to this model to re-imagine dance time. A flat monthly fee redefines the relationship to studio time and expenses. A combination of set and flex rehearsal times affords members a degree of scheduling freedom otherwise unavailable in the Portland area. Teaching and in-progress showings are permitted without additional fees, freeing up members to pursue income earning opportunities. Membership makes FLOCK into a hub of healthy experimentation unencumbered by obligations to produce an end product. It offers dependable studio times uninterrupted by the schedule conflicts encountered when performance halls are rented for shows.
The Education Program is smaller in scale, though no less integral to FLOCK. Presenting thoughtful inlets to the larger dance community, the Education Program creates a series of classes geared towards interest and inquiries that are currently reflected in the field. FLOCK is dedicated to supporting local, national and international dance artists through opportunities to both facilitate and participate in on-going classes and series-based workshops. These offerings may also be coordinated with members' artistic practices and interests. Utilizing its proximity to Disjecta Contemporary Arts Center, FLOCK's Education Program forges connections with visiting artists and facilitates learning opportunities synergistic with Disjecta's programming. FLOCK recognizes that the vitality and health of Portland's dance community relies on inclusive, thought provoking, physically vigorous dance education. At the heart of FLOCK's educational programming lies a commitment to making publicly accessible a diverse array of compelling classes and workshops.
Tahni Holt brings to the center years of experience as a choreographer and administrator. Holt has been creating dances in Portland for the past 18 years and is deeply committed this region's arts ecology and its communities. She has traveled extensively as a choreographer, performer, teacher and student, and is profoundly inspired by colleagues around the world who situate their artistic practices to utilize the best artistic conditions. The mission of FLOCK is shaped by Holt's believes; convictions which invigorate a proactive project of artist-driven empowerment.
Tahni Holt is deeply invested in creating opportunities for other dance artists as well as creating space for experimental explorations and conversations. Community making is at the core of what she does, be it by way of performance, teaching or the rallying of peers toward a common cause.
In a culture where art is severely marginalized, Holt persists in creating time and place for process, inquiry and practice; for her community as well as for herself. Her dance making, her teachings, and her organizational endeavors all aim toward a central goal: to create important conversations - be they in movement or in language - that enrich those who engaged in them, and that would not exist without the initiative that fostered them.

Ramrod 16 was an attempt by the Royal Air Force (RAF) to bomb the Koninklijke Hoogovens (Royal Blast Furnaces) steelworks at IJmuiden in the Netherlands during the Second World War. After several recent abortive attacks a more elaborate plan was made for six Douglas Boston IIIA light bombers of 107 Squadron to attack again, with a Ramrod as a diversion. (Ramrod was the RAF term for bomber operations intended to induce  fighters into action for British fighter escorts to attack.) Ramrod 16 was to be flown by twelve Lockheed Ventura Mk II bombers of No. 487 Squadron RNZAF against the Hemweg power station in Amsterdam, not far upriver from IJmuiden.

Thirteen Spitfire squadrons from 11 Group, Fighter Command, were to fly Rodeo 212 to Vlissingen (Flushing),  to the south-west of Amsterdam, as another diversion. The Venturas were to be escorted by three squadrons of Spitfires from 12 Group, Fighter Command. Two squadrons of high-flying Spitfire Mk IXs were to wait off the Dutch coast, available for contingencies and eight Mustang fighters were to protect the Bostons on their return from IJmuiden, three more Spitfire squadrons covering the return of the Venturas.

The raid began in the late afternoon of 3 May 1943 but Rodeo 212 arrived early and at height, alerting the Germans. The first three 107 Squadron Bostons missed the IJmuiden steelworks but the second formation obtained direct hits. The Venturas of 487 Squadron got ahead of most of their escort and met an unexpectedly large number of German fighters, the local contingent having, by coincidence, having been temporarily been reinforced. All but one of the Venturas were shot down before bombing and a German Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter was shot down by the last Ventura, flown by Squadron Leader Leonard Trent, whose bombs overshot the power station; Trent was shot down moments later.

Morale of the three Ventura squadrons in 2 Group was severely shaken by the losses but 487 Squadron was rebuilt, returned to operations at the end of the month and was re-equipped with de Havilland Mosquitos later in the year. The full story of the raid became known when Trent was repatriated from a German prison camp in 1945. Trent was awarded a Victoria Cross and his navigator, Flight Lieutenant Vivian Phillips, received a Distinguished Service Order.

Background

Bomber Command, 1939

On 4 September 1939, five out of ten Bristol Blenheim bombers were shot down making low-level attacks on German warships in daylight, along with two out of fourteen Vickers Wellington bombers. On 29 September, five Handley-Page Hampden bombers flew another raid against German warships and all were shot down. Few operations were possible in October and November due to weather but on 3 December, 24 Wellingtons were sent to attack German ships. The Wellingtons were intercepted by German Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Messerschmitt Bf 110 fighters and engaged by German anti-aircraft guns (); no bombers were lost and one Bf 109 was claimed shot down, later confirmed by German records. On 14 December, Wellingtons made another attack and five were shot down, another crashing in England. On 18 December, 22 Wellingtons attacked again, flying at  to evade , thought to be the main cause of recent losses. Flying at higher altitude and taking a longer route to avoid neutral territory, the Wellingtons were easier to detect by German radar. Around 100 German fighters were scrambled to intercept the bombers and the Wellingtons were intercepted by cannon-armed Bf 110s and machine-gun armed Bf 109Ds. In what became known as the Battle of the Heligoland Bight, eleven Wellingtons were shot down, one ditched in the North Sea and six crashed in England. Only one group of Wellingtons had bombed, the other had refrained to avoid civilian casualties; the Germans lost three fighters to return fire.

The extent of the loss "stunned" RAF leaders, exploding their belief that tight formations of bombers, equipped with machine-gun turrets, could defeat attack by day fighters. From January 1940, the Wellington and Hampden day bombers joined the specialist Armstrong-Whitworth Whitley night bombers in flying leaflet-dropping missions over Germany. The Fairey Battle and Blenheim light day bombers of the Advanced Air Striking Force in France and 2 Group in England also devoted considerable time to night-flying training. During the Battle of France the AASF and 2 Group flew day and night sorties, the Battles of the AASF suffering losses of 75 per cent by day from 10 to 14 May and 0.5 per cent by night. During the battle, the AASF lost 137 Battles and 37 Blenheims; 2 Group lost 98 Blenheims.

Leaning forward into France

Following its victory in the Battle of Britain, 1940, Fighter Command began sending fighter squadrons over northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands to engage the . The policy was known as "Leaning forward into France" and begun by Air Chief Marshal Sholto Douglas, who had replaced Hugh Dowding as Air Officer Commanding in chief Fighter Command on 25 November 1940. From December 1940, 11 Group flew Rhubarbs, raids by two or three fighters attacking targets of opportunity; Rodeos, fighter sweeps over enemy territory without bombers, which the  usually ignored and Circuses, small numbers of bombers from 2 Group, escorted by large numbers of fighters. The objective of the operations was to attack ground targets, destroy any  fighters which opposed the raids and keep them in Western Europe. Ramrods were bomber sorties escorted by fighters, primarily  intended to destroy a ground target and inflict losses by the escorts on German fighters trying to intervene.

From December 1940 to June 1941, Fighter Command flew 104 Rhubarbs and eleven Circuses. In Bomber Command only 2 Group still flew day bombers and Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, beginning on 22 June, gave the group added significance. The  withdrew its squadrons from coastal airfields to bases further inland, from where they could decline combat or engage RAF fighters in places where the British fighters were at a tactical disadvantage for lack of fuel. To force the  to transfer fighter units from the Eastern Front and to inflict damage on communications in the west, the offensive over France was increased, Fighter Command devoting about a third of its aircraft to the operations until the end of the year. The effort was a failure, no German fighters being transferred from the USSR to reinforce the two  (fighter groups) in the west. The Fighter Command loss was 51 pilots by June 1941 but another 411 were lost by years' end, a greater loss than July to October 1940.

Fighter Command made "enormously exaggerated estimates of German losses", from June to the end of December 1941 claiming 731  aircraft against a real  loss of 154 aircraft, 51 of which were not lost to RAF action. By late January 1942,  transfers of day fighters and anti-aircraft units had been identified by the British and Ultra decryption of German signals coded with the Enigma machine uncovered the transfer of 30 of the newest German fighter type to the Russian front and 40 from the Pas de Calais to northern Norway for anti-convoy operations. The day offensive resumed on 24 March 1942 and received a vigorous reply from the ; by 19 April, Ultra decrypts had revealed a reinforcement of the western air front, of the 180 single-engined fighters in the Pas de Calais, 120 were the new Focke-Wulf Fw 190, which outclassed the Spitfire Mk V.

By mid-June, Fighter Command had suffered 259 losses for the loss of 58 German fighters, against Fighter Command claims to have destroyed 197. On 6 July, Ultra revealed that the  was struggling to supply aircraft to north Africa, had imposed limits on operations in Russia and ordered a vast increase in fighter output from the , which was taken to mean that the Fighter Command offensive had greatly contributed to the German difficulties. The offensive continued at a lesser rate, to tie down Fw 190 units and to maintain a measure of air superiority along the Channel coast, until the maximum effort during the Dieppe Raid (19 August 1942). In 2 Group, obsolete Blenheim bombers began to be replaced by faster and more versatile Douglas Boston, Lockheed Ventura and de Havilland Mosquito day bombers.

Prelude

2 Group raids

The three squadrons of 2 Group equipped with Douglas Bostons began replacing their aircraft with new Boston Mk IIIAs in March 1943, flying training sorties and sea search operations. The first squadron to resume offensive operations was 107 Squadron on 1 May; Caen was attacked but the raid was thwarted by cloud cover. On 2 May, 107 Squadron attacked the Koninklijke Hoogovens (Royal Blast Furnaces) steelworks at IJmuiden on the coast, missed the works but hit barges and dock installations nearby. Spitfire Mk IXe fighters of 331 (Norwegian) Squadron claimed three Focke Wulf Fw 190 fighters. The Venturas of No. 464 Squadron RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) also attacked the steel works, escorted by the Spitfire Vbs of 118 Squadron. The bombers flew the usual wave top height approach over the North Sea then made a battle climb (a fast climb to bombing height). The Venturas received moderate  as they attacked, also missed the steelworks but hit the coking works, sulphate plant and other ancillary works, along with three ships, two of which sank. The Venturas were caught  out on the return journey by Fw 190s, which damaged two of the bombers for two Fw 190s claimed shot down by the escorts.

Plan

Ramrod 16 was another attempt on the IJmuiden steelworks by six Boston IIIAs with a diversion provided by twelve Ventura Mk II bombers of  No. 487 Squadron RNZAF on 3 May. In bright blue skies, sunshine and a warm day, the fourteen crews of 487 Squadron were briefed for the raid at RAF Methwold their base in Norfolk. The crews were told that they were to attack the Hemweg power station (the Papaverweg Powerplant; 52.39786815883844, 4.900222647021094) at the north end of Amsterdam, about  from IJmuiden, to "encourage the Dutch resistance to resist German pressure in Holland and to aid Dutch workmen in organising disobedience". Twelve aircraft were to fly on the operation with three Spitfire squadrons as close escort. The Ventura crews were told to expect determined opposition but to press on at all costs. B Flight, 487 Squadron, led by its commander, Squadron Leader Leonard Trent and the deputy flight commander, Flight Lieutenant A. V. Duffill, was to be followed by A Flight, the result of a coin toss with the A Flight commander, Squadron Leader Jack Meakin. The plan was to bomb at dusk for the Venturas to benefit from the declining visibility and return under cover of the dark.

The Venturas were to rendezvous over RAF Coltishall at  at an altitude lower than  with the Spitfire Mk Vs of the close escort comprising 118 Squadron, 167 Squadron and 504 Squadron. The Spitfire Mark IX had a performance similar to that of the  Messersmitt Bf 109G and Focke Wulf 190A fighters but only ten Fighter Command squadrons had been equipped with it by mid-1943, due to shortage of engines and despatches to overseas squadrons. Most domestic Spitfire squadrons were left flying obsolete Mk Vs, restricted to close escort of bombers. The bombers were to fly at  Indicated airspeed (IAS) for 33 minutes across the North Sea, keeping below German radar until they were ten minutes from the Dutch coast, then perform a battle climb (fast and steep) at  to  and head straight for the target, to retain a degree of surprise. Fighter Command operations to protect bombers consisted of target support (or forward support) a sweep by fighter squadrons kept available for contingencies, close escort with the bombers, high cover for the close escort and rear support to escort the bombers home and engage any German fighters when the other escorts were low on fuel and ammunition.

Target support was to be provided by the Supermarine Spitfire Mk IXbs of 122 Squadron and No. 453 Squadron RAAF flying a sweep along the coast west of the Ventura approach route. Thirteen fighter squadrons from 11 Group were to fly Rodeo 212 towards Vlissingen (Flushing) on the island of Walcheren to the south-west as a diversion. Rear support (waiting just off the coast) by three Spitfire squadrons to protect the Venturas on their return journey was to arrive in relays and orbit (circle) west of Zandvoort; seven Spitfire Vbs and Vcs of 302 (Polish) Squadron were to arrive at  returning at , twelve Spitfire Vbs of 306 (Polish) Squadron were to take over at  departing at  and twelve Spitfires of 308 (Polish) Squadron arriving from  were to turn for home at  Two relays of 613 Squadron North American Mustang Mk Is were to cover the withdrawal of 107 Squadron, four Mustangs arriving at  and returning at  the second four arriving at  and turning for home at

Raid

The twelve Venturas took off from RAF Methwold at  in clear weather but after five minutes Q-Queenie, flown by Sergeant A. G. Baker, turned back due to a fault with the escape hatch. The eleven remaining Venturas rendezvoused a few minutes later with the Spitfire escorts of the Coltishall Wing over RAF Coltishall nearer the coast. The Bostons of 464 Squadron also set off from Coltishall, flying much lower than the Venturas. Trent led the first six Venturas in a tight box formation, with the second group, led by Meakin, following. Thirteen fighter squadrons from 11 Group flying Rodeo 212 got their timing wrong and arrived at Vlissingen,  to the south-west of Amsterdam, thirty minutes early, appearing on German radar and alerting the German fighter units. The Target Support Spitfire Mk IXbs of 122 Squadron and 453 Squadron RAAF were recalled at  when at ,  west of Zandvoort.

By coincidence, the  fighters in the Netherlands had been reinforced during a visit to Haarlem by the  of the Netherlands, Arthur Seyss-Inquart. A  conference was scheduled for that day at Schiphol airfield near Amsterdam and a great number of experienced fighter pilots were in attendance from other parts of the Western Front. The six Boston IIIAs of 107 Squadron had taken off at  and around  bombed the IJmuiden steel works in two vic formations of three aircraft each, the first vic hitting the ancillary switch and transformer stations, despite making their bomb runs at "nought feet". Bf 109 fighters and Fw 190 fighters intercepted the first vic as it re-crossed the coast but the evasive action of the Bostons enabled them to escape without loss. The second vic, attacking through intense  released their bombs and hit the steel works, turned for home and ran into the German fighters, which shot down BZ227, the Boston flown by Flight Sergeant F. S. Harrop in flames; the other two Bostons escaped, noting a Ventura coming down in the water, apparently lost with all hands.

The eleven Venturas climbed at  just before reaching the Dutch coast with the three close escort Spitfire VB squadrons but 504 Squadron lagged by . When the bombers reached  the target was visible ahead in the clear sky. As a precaution against a possible British attack on Seyss-Inquart, the German fighters were ordered off the ground and climbed at about the same time as the Venturas. German fighters were scrambled at  from Woensdrecht Airfield and were vectored to intercept the incoming formation off the coast. The German fighters included 24 Fw 190 fighters from II. (2nd Group) of Jagdgeschwader 1 (JG 1, 1st Fighter Wing) and eight Bf 109 fighters from 2.  (2nd Squadron) of Jagdgeschwader 27 (JG 27, 27th Fighter Wing). The fighters were led by  (Captain) Dietrich Wickop, the  (group commander) of II./JG 1.

Over the coast more than twenty German fighters from the three  of  fell on 504 and 167 squadrons of the close escort as thirty more headed for the Venturas. The Spitfires of 504 Squadron were still climbing when Fw 190s swept overhead and cut them off from the Venturas. The commander of the Coltishall Wing, Wing Commander Howard "Cowboy" Blatchford, tried to warn the bombers but they had already been surrounded by German fighters. A dog-fight began with Fw 190s diving on 167 Squadron; 504 Squadron, still climbing in the rear, did a 360° turn to lure the Fw 190s to no avail; 118 Squadron got as far as the west end of Amsterdam and was credited with two Fw 190s, 167 Squadron another. Blatchford's Spitfire was badly damaged and he came down in the sea  off Mundesley; his body was never found.

The Ventura flown by Duffill was one of the first to be hit; cannon-fire destroyed the hydraulics, set both engines alight and seriously wounded the two gunners, after one had claimed a fighter. Duffill turned for home, followed by two A Flight Venturas, which were quickly shot down. Attacked by German fighters until well out over the North Sea, Duffill managed to keep the Ventura airborne and the navigator jettisoned the bombs. The fires died down and Duffill reached Methwold to land safely (the gunners were rushed to Ely Hospital and the crew was awarded immediate decorations). Within minutes of crossing the coast the Venturas were reduced to five aircraft; Flying Officer O. E. Foster was the pilot of one of the five aircraft left to begin the bomb run.

Foster saw the two Venturas in front of his aircraft explode and moments later his Ventura was hit and the bomb doors fell off, followed by the bombs. Foster turned for home and his Ventura was hit by anti-aircraft fire, which knocked out the starboard engine. Foster dived to avoid the German fighters but the ammunition containers for his forward-firing guns began to explode and blew the nose off. The navigator, Flying Officer T. A. Penn, was badly wounded and the rear gunner, Flight-Sergeant T. W. J. Warner was mortally wounded but got forward to report that his turret was out of action before he died. Foster managed to pull the Ventura out of a dive towards a harbour, only to find that he was in the middle of a German convoy. Foster cleared the ships but his controls were damaged and he could barely keep the Ventura in the air as he re-crossed the Dutch coast. The Ventura was leaking fuel and Foster ordered ditching stations; the port engine failed and the Ventura crashed into the sea and quickly sank. Foster, Penn and the wireless operator Sergeant R. W. Mann struggled out of the submerged aircraft. One of the crew recounted,

The German patrol boat picked up the three survivors a couple of hours after the crash.

The last four Venturas were met by massed anti-aircraft fire while still under attack by the Bf 109s which followed them into the . One of the German fighters overshot the Venturas and crossed in front Trent, giving him a chance to fire at it with his fixed twin  nose guns. The Messerschmitt was caught by the short burst and was seen to go down in flames. Trent later said he was surprised the German pilots would pursue them through such heavy . Approaching the target at , Trent saw his wingman shot down, followed directly by the other two aircraft. Pressing on to the target, Trent released his bombs and turned for home but as he did so his aircraft was hit again, went into a sharp spin and broke apart. Trent and his navigator, Flight Lieutenant Vivian Phillips, were thrown clear of the wreckage in mid-air and pulled their parachute ripcords but the other two crew members were unable to get free and died when the Ventura crashed into Kometon Polder; Trent and his navigator survived and were taken prisoner. Between  and  JG 1 claimed ten aircraft and  Max Winkler from 2./JG 27 claimed a Ventura shot down north of Amsterdam, for three II./JG 1 Fw 190s shot down and two pilots killed.

Aftermath

Analysis
The 487 Squadron roll was called on 6 May and mustered only six crews and eight aircraft; it was the fourth time that a squadron had been almost annihilated in one operation. Morale in 464 Squadron, another Ventura squadron, was as severely affected as that of 487 Squadron by the losses, especially since the squadron to go on the operation had been decided by the toss of a coin.

Casualties
Of the twelve 487 Squadron Venturas sent on the mission, the only survivors were the crew of the aircraft from the first box which had turned back with a damaged escape hatch (it broke free when the Ventura landed and jammed in the rudder) and Duffill's aircraft from the second box, which was damaged beyond repair and written off; few aircrew in the nine Venturas shot down on their approach to the target survived. Some hope was offered by fighter pilots on Ramrod 16 who had reported seeing seven parachutes. The 487 Squadron diarist recorded,

A wounded air gunner, Flight Sergeant Urlich, was pushed out of his burning aircraft by his pilot, Flying Officer McGowan and the navigator, Flying Officer Thornber, who were killed soon afterwards, when the bomber exploded.

Urlich wrote later,

 Ernst Heesen from 5./JG 1 and  Willi Pfeiffer from 4./JG 1 were killed in action. Heesen had been credited with 32 aerial victories and was the leading fighter pilot in II./JG 1.  Georg Hutter was also shot down, and made a forced landing at Haarlem, the aircraft being written off. Heesen may have been shot down by Sergeant R. J. Flight from 118 Squadron.

Subsequent operations

The attack on the Ijmuiden steel works by 107 Squadron was followed up by Circuses to Abbeville, Cherbourg and Poix. On 15 May, two Boston formations hit the runway and dispersals at Drucat  north-east of Abbeville. En route for home, between Poix and Le Touquet, the Bostons were attacked by Bf 109s and Fw 190s. The fighters escorting the Bostons claimed two Bf 109s and Flight Sergeant Kindle, rear gunner of the squadron CO, R. G. England, claimed two fighters damaged. One Boston landed at RAF Detling with a punctured fuel tank and another came down in a field near East Peckham in Kent.

Squadron Leader Alan Wilson took command 487 Squadron which was re-built to a complement of 21 crews; on 23 May the squadron attacked coking ovens at Zeebrugge against scant opposition. On 28 May the King, George VI, came to RAF Methwold to pay his respects and meet fourteen crews from each squadron on the base. A few days later Sir Archibald Sinclair, the Secretary of State for Air, paid a visit to inspect the re-building; 464 Squadron bombed Carpiquet airfield near Caen on the same day. At the end of May, 2 Group left Bomber Command to join the new Second Tactical Air Force and came under Fighter Command control until the formation of the Allied Expeditionary Air Force, five months later. In August 487 Squadron converted to the de Havilland Mosquito; the squadron joined the new 140 Wing and went on to participate in the Amiens prison raid (Operation Jericho).

Leonard Trent

After his capture, Trent took part in the mass escape by tunnel from Stalag Luft III in Sagan, Lower Silesia in Germany, in March 1944. During the preparations for what became known as the Great Escape. Trent was one of the men responsible for disposal of sand taken from the tunnel; Trent also acted as a security officer to prevent the Germans learning of what was afoot. During the escape, Trent passed through the tunnel and emerged from the hole outside the camp wire when a patrolling sentry discovered the men waiting to crawl away into the woods and alerted the camp guards. After being repatriated and returning to 487 Squadron, Trent reported,

Awards
For their actions on Ramrod 16, Trent was awarded a Victoria Cross at an investiture at Buckingham Palace on 12 April 1946 and Phillips was decorated with the Distinguished Service Order (DSO). Following the war Trent spent a short amount of time in the New Zealand Air Force before returning to the RAF, where he completed his career, reaching the rank of Group Captain.

Questa terra è la mia terra (Bound for Glory) è una semi-realistica autobiografia del cantautore folk Woody Guthrie. Il libro narra l'infanzia di Guthrie, i suoi viaggi attraverso gli Stati Uniti vagabondando su treni, e verso la fine del libro racconta gli inizi da cantante. Alcune delle esperienze di raccolta di frutta, così come quelle in un campo di vagabondi, riecheggiano quelle descritte in Furore di John Steinbeck.

Pubblicato nel 1943, è stato poi ripubblicato nel 1976 con una prefazione di Studs Terkel dopo l'uscita dell'omonimo adattamento cinematografico.

Note

Autobiografie


It seems that whenever we have experienced an "El Nino" winter, the following summer is a hotbed of activity in the Atlantic Ocean and its tributaries.
This should mean that striper fishing will be fast and furious throughout the Piscataqua River and up into the feeder streams out of Great Bay such as the Cocheco River, the Bellamy River, the Oyster River, the Lamprey River and the Swampscott River. On the Maine side of the border, the Salmon Falls River out of South Berwick where it connects with the Great Works River has always been a striper fisherman's delight.
A side note is that if anyone is old enough to remember Three Rivers Farm in Dover, you will know that it refers to the Cocheco, Salmon Falls and the Great Works rivers. This is the area where they meet and flow into the Piscataqua.
Many years ago I sold a new automobile to a young lady who had inherited all the land along Gulf Road from Three Rivers Road all the way to the Route 101 bridge and back along to the shores of the Cocheco River. A huge land area that was supposed to be forever "open" as her grandfather's will stated. Of course, I had asked her if I could buy a few acres and the answer was no.
Unfortunately, now that the years have flown by, the tax rate has skyrocketed, land values along the waterways have soared and bills keep piling up, I have seen a few houses being built in that area. It's too bad, as it should have been declared a scenic area and forever been part of the state and kept open for fishing, boating, hiking, and all other outdoor activities.
However, the fishing in that area is still superb and will continue to be great for many years to come.
The season starts as stripers migrate out of the Saint Johns River area in Florida in April, and many of them end up in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in July. Many of the fish will begin to spawn as the waters reach 55 to 65 degrees. The most famous breeding ground for stripers is on the Roanoke River in North Carolina.
Another area is in the Chesapeake Bay. It takes about two years for the striped bass to reach 12 to 13 inches and weight of three-quarters of a pound. A 20-pound bass is approximately 36 inches long and 7 years old, a 30-pounder is about 38 inches long and 10-11 years old, and a 40-pounder is about 40-42 inches long and 14 years old.
As much food as this voracious eater consumes, his constant movement results in a lean, mean eating machine. His diet consists of herring, menhaden, lobsters (his favorite), flounders, mullet, eels, shad, anchovies, silver hake, crabs, shrimp, squid, sea worms and mussels. In other words, the kitchen sink. Typical of most salt-water fish, they prefer to eat at night. Not that they won't grab your bait during the day, but they are more active after the sun goes down. Hence all the bridge people covering the spans at night.
The smaller striped bass — called schoolies — will be in the Piscataqua River normally in mid-May to early June depending on the weather, and when they do show, it's usually a day of hot action on the water. The smaller fish eat constantly, so throwing a bait in front of them will produce strikes. These 3- to 5-pound fish will give you a tussle on light lines. The bigger stripers — cows — usually show up our local waters in mid- to late June. Be prepared to see the stripers early this year, as the waters are warming fast.
In jetty fishing, fish are easy to find, but can be difficult to catch. While rocks and trash below the water can hold many baitfish, be careful as the jagged, slippery surfaces sticking out of the water are dangerous to walk on. Wearing a pair of non-slip boots, fishing shoes or sneakers will help. Surfcasting from the rocks can be tiresome, but when old Linesides smashes your top-water then hang on and enjoy the ride. It's a feeling like no other to catch a striper while casting a top-water plug.
Looking to buy a used boat this spring? Here are a few suggestions so you don't get taken to the cleaners.
Price is one thing that you can dicker with, but don't lose sight of the legal items you need. Registration is one of them. Make sure that the paperwork is in order and the hull identification number (HIN) matches all paperwork. I've been told that the registration should be current, but if the seller has been trying to sell it for a year or more, then that may not be the case. Would you register a boat that you won't be using or can't afford to use? Of course not, so that is not a major selling point as long as all numbers match.
Be aware if the boat is not located in the state it is registered. This could be a signal that there the seller owes taxes on it.
All the information on the title should match the registration. All titles will list any liens on the vessel, which will have to be paid off in order to sell the boat. Any liens have to be cleared off before you hand over the check. If he needs your money to pay it off, go with him to the bank or talk to the manager of the bank and make arrangements. Do not send money to anyone that you do not know or trust.
It's advisable to get a letter from the buyer stating that any state or local taxes on the vessel have been paid. This can also be easily included in the purchase agreement. It is mandatory that the seller gives you one and that it is signed, has all the pertinent information, is witnessed by a third party (not a friend or relative of the seller), and includes the opportunity for a demonstration ride and a check-over by your mechanic.
Prepare a bill of sale with the seller's name, serial number, length, width, color, price and any other information that you deem reasonable.
I use Family Lawyer, which I bought and downloaded on my computer. All you do is open it up, go to whatever form you want and fill in the blanks. I've used it hundreds of times and it produces a legal document.
A cashier's check is the best way to consummate the deal.
If you have any other questions, see a local boat dealer. He may also have the same type of boat for the same money or less and include a warranty.

What would it take for you to fellate the actor Keith Allen?
Would you rather date a man who was a 6-foot tall penis with a face like Mark Reckless or a man who instead of having a penis had a tiny man growing out of there?
You make it sound like that's a dilemma. The second guy's got a face and I'm a face guy, as I told you. And then secondly, it's a threesome. So it's not a difficult choice, really. It is the second 'cause I'm a face guy.
Have you ever come up with a terrorist atrocity?
I'd like a computer programmer to come up with a programme where if somebody tweets, "Thank you, Katie Hopkins. You're just saying what we're all thinking," they drop down dead. Some sort of cyber terrorist attack. Anyone who goes, "Dapper Laughs is such a legend. OMG." If they could drop down dead as well that would be great. *RH mentions it's to terrorists' benefit to keep them alive.* Well, it certainly allows people to hate Western civilization. It fosters a hatred of Western civilization which drives these extremists, and apparently according to David Cameron, a couple of months ago.
Do you ever get mistaken for a different celebrity?
I do get mistaken for a guy whose name I don't know on Dragon's Den, who I don't think is on Dragon's Den at the moment. I just spent a weekend at Newcastle, and this stag group, one of them went, "You're that guy from Dragon's Den". And I kind of wanted to go, "I'm checking into the Holiday Inn Express. Do you think the guy from Dragon's Den would be checking into the Holiday Inn Express in Newcastle? And then this guy in a gay bar later on that night came up to me and went, "I know you. Uh, you're that guy who works at Silverlink McDonald's". And I said to him, "I am. Please don't tell anyone that I'm in this bar, because nobody knows about this part of my life". And he said, "Don't worry, Muhammad. Your secret's safe with me".
What is the secret of happiness?
I'm very happy, yeah. I'm very, very happy. And the secret to happiness is to have limited ambitions. And to never look at what Chowdhry might be earning. A combination of those two. No, you've gotta – I've never been a particularly ambitious person and I've never had a long-term plan. When one of my agents said, "What's your five-year plan?" I nearly burst out laughing. I don't even know what I'm going to be doing this Christmas, let alone in five year's time. And I made a decision a while back, not least when I didn't pay my [dues] to the general medical council in February 2007 to go, this is your change to sever your ties with medicine and never go back. I've kind of gambled and taken risks and not really thought too much about the long-term future for quite a while. So my default position is: this has got to work, otherwise I'm completely fucked. And so getting this job on The Chase, doing two jobs that I love as opposed to one I was shit at makes me very happy. I was single for 20 years, I've not got a UKIP-voting boyfriend. Don't knock it, the sex is amazing. He likes to pretend that he's the late Margaret Thatcher and that I'm the British manufacturing industry in the 1980's. But also it depends on a lot of other people, doesn't it? I am that classic Asian son in that I want my parents to be happy with what I'm doing. And them being happy with what I'm doing and them liking my boyfriend are big parts of me being happy. And having my sister give birthday to a lovely little boy, Leo, because it's just the two of us. So then me knowing that there is another generation of Sinha's and that I didn't ruin it for my mum and dad completely. And that they do have a grandkid makes me very happy. And genuinely I don't get consumed with unhappiness in the way that I used to when I was a very bitter, frustrated, promiscuous, hopelessly single, borderline alcoholic gay man. You know what? What I do know is that comedians don't have the answers to anything. This is a job and our opinions don't count for shit and we shouldn't believe that they do. They're just a mechanism by which we try and make people laugh. And realizing that makes me happy, I suppose. But there's no secret to happiness, other than to not get too frustrated or bitter or angry or drunk just because something doesn't go your way because eventually things, if you work reasonably hard, it will start going your way. Life is a lot down to luck. A lot down to luck and good fortune. And you've just got to remember that, really.

Women's basketball knows it has quite a challenge ahead.
It was inevitable; Rachel Sondag and the dynamic Class of 2015 couldn't hang around forever.
The Stateswomen, now without last year's senior leaders like Sondag (one of 10 players in school history to score 1,000 points), Mallory Moran and Cami Unger, are under pressure to keep the program's success running.
They're certainly off to a good start, at 4-0 after winning the Randi Perkins Tournament at Marquette to open the year. The 52-43 win over Francis Howell in the title game, led by sophomore Jadiah Stewart's 18 points, catapulted Webster to the championship and to the number six ranking in the stltoday area large school standings.
In the latest rankings, the Stateswomen have moved to the number three spot.
Webster is missing former stars, but there are young stars early in their own runs with the program emerging this year as well.
Stewart and sophomore KK Rodriguez are dangerous underclassmen already taking leadership roles with the team, while senior Erica Waelterman and junior Maggy Moran provide the experienced leadership the team needs to carry on for Sondag, who now plays at Washington University.
In fact, Stewart's performance in the Randi Perkins Tournament earned her "Player of the Week" honors from stltoday.com. She averaged 20.3 points per game in the tournament, including a 27-point effort in Webster's 59-43 first round win over Nerinx Hall. Stewart added 11 steals for a double-double in the rout.
It might be too early to say, but given the depth of this team, there could be something in the near future for the Stateswomen that they've come close to the last couple years but have not quite achieved: a District title.
They're on a roll early on, and if they stay on that roll, not much will be able to stand in their way, so it may be a tad premature, but I'll go ahead and say it anyway: Webster will be District champions in 2015-16.

Dental implants are made to replace teeth that you might have lost to accident or disease. This is a relatively new technology, and is more effective than dentures or a bridge. Our implants are, for all practical purposes, replacement teeth and they enable you to brush, floss and eat exactly as you could before you lost your tooth.
Our implants are bonded to your jaw, and are even more durable than your real teeth! They look and feel identical as well. As long as you maintain proper dental hygiene, there is no reason that one of our dental implants shouldn't last forever.


That's exactly what we did in 2012 shortly after we adopted Coco. He made the trip to New Hampshire with us and spent the day at Mom and Dad's house. Coco was very well behaved. Other family members visited while we were there and all went well. Towards the end of our visit, Coco peed twice on the sun room sofa and carpet. This was after frequent trips outside to do "his business." Mom and Dad didn't get upset or make a fuss over it. Lisa cleaned up the pee spots. It was that easy.
In November of 2012, we invited Mom and Dad down and surprised them with an early Thanksgiving feast. Coco lounged on Dad's lap (aka Grandpa). They bonded. Coco listened to Mom (aka Grammy) when she corrected him.
As time went on, our family grew. We had two kids. Leaving the house for the day wasn't as easy. Our newest addition at the time, Sophie, is a pee pee machine in unfamiliar territory. She's completely house-trained. She lets us know when she needs to pee or poop. However, when she visits the home of another human, she'll lift her leg and mark every surface within pee pee reach.
As considerate dog Moms, we understand this can be an issue for a lot of humans.
Then, in February of this year, we adopted Lobo. He's a special needs pup. Also..a pee pee machine when exploring a home aside from his own. More so than Coco and Sophie combined.
Long story short, our visits to New Hampshire, and other areas where friends and family live, have declined quite a bit. It's one of the many sacrifices we made as our family increased in size. Taking all 3 of our kids to Mom and Dad's wasn't an option. Leaving our kids behind while we went to New Hampshire for the day also was not an option. A feasible solution, and one we've gravitated towards, is Lisa making the trip alone. Overnight. Once or twice a year. Then, once or twice a year, having Mom and Dad visit us.
This time around, a couple of weeks ago when we were invited, Lisa had to explain how difficult, or nearly impossible, it is to take a day trip...anywhere. With 3 kids, all pee pee machines when in an unfamiliar territory...yeah, no. Not happening. Again, our choice. Out of consideration and respect. We know our kids. We're not going to take them to a strange place, someones home, only to saturate furniture and carpets with pee. And, we're not going to leash them outside or leave them in the car.
Lisa and I discussed our options. There were two. She ventures to New Hampshire alone or we ask Mom and Dad if they'd like to visit us. The following day, Lisa invited them down here.
That leads me to what's happening today and this evening. Tomorrow, Mom and Dad will be here around 11. They get to visit with Coco and Sophie and meet Lobo for the first time. We've shared his stories and sent them photos. Mom and Dad have big hearts and that extends to our kids. The barking and begging and lap snuggles don't bother them a bit.
Today I'm prepping a huge Christmas dinner. It's a surprise. We told them to expect a quickie lasagna dinner. Then, during a phone conversation yesterday, Lisa said we're pressed for time so we were going to offer sandwiches.
Our home has changed since the last time they visited earlier this year...a couple of weeks before we fostered and eventually adopted Lobo. There's a ramp for the sofa in the living room. Pet pillows decorate our living room floor. Our kitchen floor resembles a patchwork quilt with all of the colorful printed non-slip scatter rugs and runners so Lobo doesn't continuously wipe out. It's guaranteed they'll leave with fur on their clothing. Bones and toys won't be picked up off the floor before their arrival.
Earlier this evening, while eating dinner, Lisa and I expressed how proud we are of our family. Us. Our kids. Our home. The accommodations for our kids. The fur. The choices we've made. Not everyone understands or realizes the level of compromise and sacrifice. That's okay. We don't expect anyone to. We're grateful to the few, like Mom and Dad, who graciously put aside a day to make the 5+ hour round-trip drive to visit and enjoy our company for a few hours.
A scrumptious dinner and lots of treats included.
For that, I don't mind spending an entire day prepping a Christmas feast. Dessert. Appetizers. And later, Lisa will give the kids a talkin' to. You know, the gentle Grammy-and-Grandpa-are-visiting-tomorrow-lecture.
"Coco, don't try to take Grammy or Grandpa's socks off their feet and remember...pant legs are not tug toys. Sophie, don't piddle on Grammy's shoes. They will probably smell of another pup. Grammy walks her friend's pups every afternoon. And Lobo...oh, sweet Lobo. Be on your best behavior little man."

Q: How can I use Django with MySQL in MAMP stack? I have difficulty especially in installing MySQLdb module (MySQL-python-1.2.3c1), to connect to the MySQL in MAMP stack.
I've done a number of things such as copying the mysql include directory and library (including plugin) from a fresh installation of mysql (version 5.1.47) to the one inside MAMP (version 5.1.37).
Now, the MySQLdb module build and install doesnt give me error.
The error happens when I'm calling 'import MySQLdb' from python shell (version 2.6).

A: How are you installing MySQL-Python? I just tested in a fresh virtualenv and pip install mysql-python seems to have done the trick.
UPDATE:
pip is sort of like a package manager for Python packages.
By default, pip installs to your current site-packages directory, which is on your $PYTHONPATH. This lets other libraries/applications (like Django) access it. pip also works well with virtualenv (it should; Ian Bicking wrote them both), which is a nifty library that lets you sandbox an application. This is nice because it means you can try out new things without polluting (or even needing write access to) the global site-packages directory.
It probably seems like yak-shaving right now, but I'd say it's worth the effort to get up to speed on pip and virtualenv (you may also want to look into virtualenvwrapper, but we'll skip that for now; it's just sugar for virtualenv). It will lead to a slightly more complicated deployment scenario than putting everything in the global site-packages, but for development it's really no harder, and there are lots of good guides to deploying using a virtualenv.
I'd recommend something like the following:

*

*curl -0 http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py

*python distribute_setup.py

*easy_install pip

*pip install virtualenv

*virtualenv --distribute MyDjangoProject --no-site-packages

*cd MyDjangoProject

*source bin/activate (this activates the sandbox that virtualenv created)

*pip install django mysql-python
At this point, you should have a totally functional Django+MySQL install (if I missed any steps, just comment and I'll try to add it in). You can start your Django project like this: django-admin.py startproject MyDjangoProject. cd into your project's directory, edit your settings.py file to point to your MySQL database, and run the dev server to test it out like so: ./manage.py runserver (you may need to chmod u+x your manage.py file). Voila! You should be able to access your site on localhost:8000. When you're done working on the project, you can just use deactivate to exit the virtualenv sandbox.
Try not to hold all this against Django: a lot of it is just best practices stuff for working with Python libraries. You could get by with a lot less, but this way it's more reproducible and you're less likely to accidentally mess up one of this project's dependencies when working on a different project.

A: I had this problem and it turned out to be due to an errant configuration:
    export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes
I can't recall what I had this enabled for (some package that required 32-bit), probably related to Google AppEngine. But Setting it to 'no' solved by issues.
Otherwise I just installed everything using homebrew and pip.

By Dr Frank Ellis - A recent programme of BBC Radio 4's Archive on 4 was dedicated to the life and works of the Marxist historian, Eric Hobsbawm. One of the striking things to emerge from Simon Schama's extended interview with Hobsbawm was that the interviewee's commitment to Marxism had not diminished or even been fundamentally re-evaluated in the light of the final collapse of the Soviet Union and its East European empire in 1985-1991. Hobsbawm even re-affirmed his commitment to Marxism, oblivious or indifferent to the fact that Marxist regimes had slaughtered tens of millions of people in trying to build some global socialist utopia.

I just got a set of Vette Skins, the installation looks simple enough, but the 'skin' itself seems just a little big (think millimeters). I understand these are pliable, but I'm seeking advise from someone that's installed them. They also seem just a tad long. Any close up pics of the both ends of the Vette Skin would be greatly appreciated.
They just stick on don't they? Can't you hold them up where they go to see how they fit?
Yeah, that's what I'm doing, and they seem big..

I like the look (Split Window rear hatch) after reviewing the website, and looked for an installation video on YouTube, but there is none available that I can see.
I also would like to see how these are installed ( Split Window Rear Hatch).

Just installed a pair 2 days ago. They look great, but do require a bit of care installing. The 2 sided tape is VERY sticky, and it's hard to reposition them if not aligned properly. Just go slow and don't apply much pressure until you are sure you've got them positioned the way you want.
The length of each of mine was fine, but in my opinion, I think they might be ever so slightly to wide. Perhaps a 1/8 to 1/16". Left a bit of overlapping lip along the top and bottom edge, but not really noticeable. The color match on my blade silver was perfect! Overall I'm pleased, and think they really enhance the look.
Sorry I don't have any pic's yet. But they would look just like those used on their web site.
That are a little wide in my opinion as well. I let mine overhang a little on the bottom, but I am pleased with the results.
Just take your time . I started mine from the rear and worked forward peeling the tape backing as I went forward. Do not use tape to hold in place as it can remove the finish! Tape is not needed! After install I left out in the hot sun and about every hour I went out and ran over the top with a micRo fiber towel pushing down firmly to make sure they were not going any where. I've been through countless amounts of miles and rain with no issues.
Ok, MUCH easier with 2 people. A second set of hands really helps. I liked the idea of not pressing down too hard until it's 'right' I also only peeled back a little of the tape backing at a time. I'll post pics tomorrow, she's tucked in for the night!
Those look good, guys! Do they make a piece for the halo too?
No wonder I had no clue what skins are...I drive a Vert! They do look great.
Those really do enhance the look of the top of the car.
After about 8 months with no issues being a daily drive my driver side one flew off on highway at 55mph...lost forever. Emailed eBay store where I purchased to see if they will sell me just the one side or give me a discount ordering a new set.
Emailed eBay store where I purchased to see if they will sell me just the one side or give me a discount ordering a new set.
I purchased mine direct from Vette Skins. I didn't quite get my right side one aligned properly, so called them and talked to the owner and was able to order another one for roughly 1/2 the price if I recall. I also explained that I thought they were very slightly to wide, and they made my replacement 1/32" narrower. Fits much better IMO. Overall I found their customer support excellent and I'm very satisfied with their product.


The development of technology in recent years has resulted in a surge of tablets, taking the IT world by storm.
Their practicality, functionality and versatility means they're ideal for both schools and businesses alike.
We've purchased and deployed thousands of Apple iPads over the last few years and now have a secure knowledge of how the devices work and how to make the most out of them.
However the explosion has resulted with its own headache and questions.
How do we secure these devices? How can we buy and deploy Apps? How do we manage their use?
The answer is simple:- Meraki & VPP.
Our cloud based iPad management system has so far, been deployed in schools around the North East and has secured 1000's of iPads and Android devices.
We've seen first hand the benefit that using Meraki can provide.
iPads are 'enrolled' onto the Meraki system by an OmniCom Technician and this allows all iPads to be monitored, tracked and maintained in a central location.
Meraki also allows the user to set restrictions on the iPads. Such things as Camera, Safari and App Store can be disabled for security purposes. iPads can have their location tracked – with the ability to lock, remotely wipe or display a message on any iPad(s) which aren't where they should be. Meraki allows you to keep on top of your iPad inventory and has the ability to produce a full audit with a few clicks.
The Apple Volume Purchase Program (VPP) is a service provided by Apple specifically for Education customers. Essentially it's an extension of the standard Apple App Store, but allows for bulk buying of apps. It integrates seamlessly with Meraki and the paid apps are installed much the same way as free apps.
The registration process is fairly simple and straightforward, although it will need some participation at various stages by a nominated person at the school – usually the business manager or head teacher. There will also need to be a payment method attached to the VPP account.
Complete School Support customers receive Meraki and the set up completely free of charge.
Not a CSS customer? You can still benefit from Meraki!
Simply request a quotation and let us know how many devices you'd like to use with the system and we'll do the rest.
We're also introducing Apple Serv!
Software is downloaded onto your existing Curriculum Server that ensures downloads and updates of Apps onto your device don't saturate your Wi-Fi network, which makes it appear slow and sluggish.
Want more information? Request a quotation or download our Apple Serv PDF.
Expertise on tap! OmniCom's service meets our needs and then some! Our visiting technician is great and the rest of the team are at the end of the phone when we need them. All of our requests are dealt with swiftly and professionally. Their depth of knowledge and efficient service allows us to get on with our jobs without worrying about IT – just the way it should be.
