Nash Bridges is back on television. Thank you WGN America! I have not seen this show since the 90’s, and am now able to DVR episodes and watch on a regular basis. I remember being full of anticipation and rushing home in time for the premiere episode. Turning on my television just in time, the first scene held my attention and I was impressed with the opening sequence. San Francisco is a beautif

We stand in this sanctuary, side-by-side, and say these ancient words. Words spoken by generations of pilgrims before us. And I feel the heaviness. The heaviness of all this time in them. I breathe in their holiness and know their power. The small frame beside me does the same. In his stature I see a new awareness. He forms these words with his mouth, rediscovering something lost.

A singer, tunesmith, and purveyor of what he dubbed "Southern music" — a brew of country, folk, rock, blues, gospel, and Celtic styles — Steve Young was a songwriter's songwriter, an acclaimed performer whose work found its greatest commercial success in the hands of other artists and earned him praise from the likes of Waylon Jennings, Townes Van Zandt, and Lucinda Williams. Born in Georgia and raised throughout the South, by his teens Young was already playing guitar and writing his own songs. In the early '60s, he moved to New York City and became affiliated with the burgeoning Greenwich Village folk music scene. After a brief return to Alabama, where he'd spent time growing up, he settled in California in 1964.On the West Coast, Young found work as a postal carrier while striking u

I've hinted that work at Crewe’s historic Queens Park was about to kick into life and at last we can announce that a major engineering phase will start in early June and hopefully put the restoration project back on track. Eric Wright Civil Engineering has been appointed to progress the latest phase of the Heritage Lottery Funded restoration works package. This includes new bridges, lake edge works, improvements to the inlet and outlet mechanisms of the lake and water quality improvements. The park’s bridges and lake perimeter will cost around £1.7m to complete. Some additional minor works will also form part of the contract. The first visible task will be moving the clay arising from the burial of silt from the lake to support the retaining wall on the northern boundary of the park.
Desperate for cheap publicity for its flagging campaign for the London mayoral and Assembly elections, the British National Party is now planning some dangerous stunts. The BNP intends to hang banners over a series of bridges over London roads. The banners are likely to distract and enrage motorists, putting them and other road users at risk. The Metropolitan Police will normally arrest anyone attempting to do this and close roads until they can arrange for the banner’s removal. Police resources are already stretched. Such stupid stunts will just cost Londoners money and distract the police from dealing with other crimes. This is a strange way to act for a party that in its general election manifesto in 2005 said: “ We will ensure that the main priority of the police be returned t
The GNU/Linux command line and desktop are both sophisticated interfaces, but they are mostly separate realities. You can drag text into a virtual terminal from the desktop, or use Edit -> Copy to move text in either direction, but by default moving files and directories between them is impossible -- a problem that often requires extra switching between them if you frequently work in both. Dragbox is designed to solve this problem and connect the two interfaces -- at least if one of them is GNOME -- through what might be described as a combination multiple clipboard and simple file manager.

Be interested to know if anyone has information about future Network Rail bridge work. The Wistaston Road bridge has been in the headlines recently, effectively shutting down one side of Crewe to motor vehicles from January 2008. Other bridges have already been worked upon, such as Flag Lane and Merrill's bridge (both also on the Chester line). So where next? I'm not sure about the Mill Street bridge (pictured, as the only issue is height and width) but the Edleston Road bridge carries traffic and could be affected. I don't know, is that bridge already satisfying EU weight criteria? Both Eggy Road and Mill Street already carry substantial volumes of traffic. Closure of either (however brief) would put considerable strain on the town. As for the snap, I've always wondered if any visitor has taken the Lyceum sign literally and turned in the pumping station to the right of the photo!

Things had been going very well in the old man’s yard. There were plenty of fruits and vegetables, a large grassy lawn for games and big shade trees for when the sun got too hot. The Old Man’s house still sat high up on the hill and every once in a while someone said that they caught a glimpse of him.
The kids got along nicely. Some of them became team captains and they worked hard at coming up with rules for the games and making sure that everyone followed them. This was important because many kids wanted to play (although a quite a few of them just sat and watched).
There were lots of things to do besides playing games. The fence always needed mending. The sound of the traffic on the busy street was noisy and distracting and and there were some kids who still had bad memories. So they decided to plug up all the holes that let in the noise. They made mud out of the dirt
