Con 5 album e oltre 60 milioni di dischi venduti hanno scritto la storia del rock. I Simple Minds arrivano dal vivo in Italia con un nuovo disco e tutti i loro più grandi successi per un’unica data evento del loro Big Music Tour, il 21 novembre al Mediolanum Forum di Assago.
Dopo il trionfo dei concerti estivi in tutta la penisola, la band di Glasgow arriva con un nuovissimo album ed un nuovissimo tour; uno show durante il quale sarà possibile gustare tutti i loro più grandi successi, vecchi e nuovi.
Nati sul finire degli anni ’70 ed esplosi a livello mondiale negli anni ’80, gli scozzesi Simple Minds hanno scritto alcune tra le migliori pagine della musica anni ’80 diventando, dopo l’uscita del capolavoro New Gold Dream, vero e proprio inno new wave, uno tra i gruppi più popolari dell’epoca. Scopritori di suoni, innovatori e rivoluzionari, tra avant-garde ed art-rock, pop ed ambient, i Simple Minds hanno raggiunto numerose volte le vette delle album charts con dischi come Life In A Day, Real To Real Cacophony, New Gold Dream (81, 82, 83, 84), Sons And Fascination/Sister Fellings Calling, Empire And Dance.
Album considerati pietre miliari della storia del rock, e contenuti in uno speciale box-set pubblicato nel 2012. Questi cinque dischi hanno avuto un impressionante impatto sulla scena musicale dell’epoca, incrociando per primi la new-wave con accenni di elettronica, e continuando ad influenzare negli anni band come Manic Street Preachers, Primal Scream, The Killers fino ai più recenti The Horrors, a dimostrazione di quanto siano ancora forti gli echi dei primi cinque lavori targati Simple Minds.

Suspended Animation Classic #848 First published March 27, 2005 (#13) (Dates are approximate)
Doc Frankenstein
By Mark Allen
Doc Frankenstein #1, published by Burlyman Entertainment, 32 pages, $3.50.
I can truly say I have seen a new spin on the monster of Frankenstein. Writers Andy and Larry Wachowski (the guys who directed the Matrix movies), and artist Steve Skroce take readers on a thrill ride that reinterprets a classic fictional character as the tragic creature created by a scientist seeking to cheat death becomes a modern day battler of the supernatural.
Ah, but that’s not all, as this striking first issue hints at the amazing 19th century journey which led to his current role, in a gorgeous two-page super-panel. I’m not going to give anything away here, but I hope (oh, how I hope!) the creative team will be exploring this in the future. In case you haven’t noticed, issue one of Doc Frankenstein has me excited.
Yeah, those Wachowskis know how to spin a yarn.
Especially where an “eight-foot tall, blue-skinned man” with more emotions than he’s supposed to have, and who is as hated by some as he is revered by others, is concerned. The whole story, fleshing out a Geof Darrow/Steve Skroce creation, is just an all around, darned good first outing, if you ask me. And even if you don’t.
It’s not just fun to read, however, but a joy to behold. Steve Skroce’s art is nothing short of beautiful. With a richly detailed and intricate style, Skroce is equally adept at portraying high adventure, action, and horror as he is putting the technical aspects of the story on paper. All enhanced by an amazing use of colors by Jason Keith, I believe the work Skroce does here far out-shines anything he has done previously.
If there’s a complaint, it’s about too many non-story pages. Yeah, rough art on display is nice, but save it for the trade paperback collection.
Doc Frankenstein is recommended for older readers, do to some blood and gore. Find it at comic shops, comics conventions, and online auctions.
The Postcard
A postally unused postcard published by G.J.
They state on the back of the card that it is guaranteed to be a real photograph.
Scarborough
Scarborough is a town on the North Sea coast of North Yorkshire. The town lies between 10–230 feet (3–70 m) above sea level, rising steeply northward and westward from the harbour on to limestone cliffs. The older part of the town lies around the harbour, and is protected by a rocky headland.
With a population of just over 61,000, Scarborough is the largest holiday resort on the Yorkshire coast. The town has fishing and service industries, including a growing digital and creative economy, as well as being a tourist destination. People who live in the town are known as Scarborians.
The Development of Scarborough as a Resort
In 1626, Mrs Thomasin Farrer discovered a stream of acidic water running from one of the cliffs to the south of the town. This gave birth to Scarborough Spa, and Dr. Robert Wittie's book about the spa waters published in 1660 attracted a flood of visitors to the town.
Scarborough Spa became Britain's first seaside resort, though the first rolling bathing machines were not noted on the sands until 1735. It was a popular getaway destination for the wealthy of London.
The coming of the Scarborough-York railway in 1845 increased the tide of visitors. Scarborough railway station claims to have the world's longest platform seat. From the 1880's until the First World War, Scarborough was one of the regular destinations for The Bass Excursions, when fifteen trains would take between 8,000 and 9,000 employees of Bass's Burton brewery on an annual trip to the seaside.
The Grand Hotel
When the Grand Hotel was completed in 1867 it was one of the largest hotels in the world, and one of the first giant purpose-built hotels in Europe.
Four towers represent the seasons, 12 floors represent the months, 52 chimneys represent the weeks, and originally 365 bedrooms represented the days of the year. A blue plaque outside marks where the novelist Anne Brontë died in 1849. She was buried in the graveyard of St. Mary's Church by the castle.
Maritime Events Associated With Scarborough
During the Great War, the town was bombarded by German warships. Scarborough Pier Lighthouse, built in 1806, was damaged in the attack.
In 1929 the steam drifter Ascendent caught a 560-pound (250 kg) tunny (Atlantic bluefin tuna), and a Scarborough showman awarded the crew 50 shillings so he could exhibit it as a tourist attraction.
Big-game tunny fishing off Scarborough effectively started in 1930 when Lawrie Mitchell-Henry landed a tunny caught on rod and line weighing 560 pounds (250 kg).
A gentlemen's club, the British Tunny Club, was founded in 1933, and set up its headquarters in the town at the place which is now a restaurant with the same name.
Sir Edward Peel landed a world-record tunny of 798 pounds (362 kg), capturing the record by 40 pounds (18.1 kg) from one caught off Nova Scotia by American champion Zane Grey. The British record, which still stands, is for a fish weighing 851 pounds (386 kg) caught off Scarborough in 1933 by Lawrie Mitchell-Henry.
On the 5th. June 1993 Scarborough made headlines around the world when a landslip caused part of the Holbeck Hall Hotel, along with its gardens, to fall into the sea.
Although the slip was shored up with rocks and the land has long since grassed over, evidence of the cliff's collapse remains clearly visible from The Esplanade, near Shuttleworth Gardens.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by A. Richard, 84 Faub. du Temple, Paris, and printed by Edia of Versailles.
By 1916 the Basilica had sustained immense structural damage, along with the loss of its entire roof.

'From Albert to Bapaume'
'From Albert to Bapaume' by Alec Waugh:
'Lonely and bare and desolate,
Stretches of muddy filtered green,
A silence half articulate
Of all that those dumb eyes have seen.
A bettered trench, a tree with boughs
Smutted and black with smoke and fire,
A solitary ruined house,
A crumpled mass of rusty wire.
And scarlet by each ragged fen
Long scattered ranks of poppies lay,
As though the blood of the dead men
Had not been wholly washed away'.
The Golden Virgin
During the Great War, the statue of Mary and the infant Jesus on top of the Basilica, dubbed by British Troops as the 'Golden Virgin', was hit by a shell on the 15th. January 1915.
The shell led to the statue hanging just below the horizontal, and in danger of falling. The Germans said that whoever made the statue fall would lose the war.
The statue became very familiar to the thousands of British soldiers who fought in the Battle of the Somme in 1916, many of whom passed through Albert, which at the time was situated 3 miles from the front lines.
The German Army recaptured the town in March 1918 and the British, in order to prevent the Germans from using the tower as an observation post, also bombarded the Basilica. The statue fell in April 1918, and was never recovered.
'The Virgin of Albert'
George Herbert Clarke (1873-1953) wrote a poem about the statue entitled 'The Virgin of Albert'.
Here it is:
'Shyly expectant, gazing up at Her,
They linger, Gaul and Briton, side by side:
Death they know well, for daily have they died,
Spending their boyhood ever bravelier;
They wait: here is no priest or chorister,
Birds skirt the stricken tower, terrified;
Desolate, empty, is the Eastertide,
Yet still they wait, watching the Babe and Her.
Broken, the Mother stoops: the brutish foe
Hurled with dull hate his bolts, and down She swayed,
Down, till She saw the toiling swarms below, -
Platoons, guns, transports, endlessly arrayed:
"Women are woe for them! let Me be theirs,
And comfort them, and hearken all their prayers!"'
Visa Paris 568
Note the reference to 'Visa Paris 568'. This is incorrectly spelt - it should read 'Visé Paris 568'.
'Visé Paris' followed by a unique reference number means that the image was inspected and deemed by the military authorities in the French capital not to be a security risk.
'Visé Paris' indicates that the card was published during or soon after the Great War.
Chorley girl Suzanne Cornwell (pictured) is the cover star of Chorley Community Housing’s (CCH’s) new annual report. The report sets out CCH’s achievements over the past year and is available to CCH tenants on request.
It can also be viewed by visiting our website at www.chorleych.co.uk and clicking on the link on our homepage.
Suzanne, who is based at the head office of CCH’s parent organisation Adactus Housing Group in Leigh, works as a repairs planner. She was previously based at the Council depot at Bengal Street when CCH’s repairs team was based there, but moved to Leigh as part of a restructure of the repairs service.
Suzanne said: “The annual report describes a number of changes that CCH has made to the way in which it delivers services to tenants, including repairs. It also describes some of the changes we’re looking to make over the next few months.”
CCH is required by the Tenant Services Authority to publish an annual report and to make a copy available to tenants. The report is now available online and will be posted to any tenants who request one.
CCH Director of Operations Richard Houghton said: “We appreciate that some people will think that sending the report out to everyone is not good value for money and so we’re only sending this to tenants who actually ask for a copy. Alternatively, people are more than welcome to drop into our offices in Gillibrand Street to collect a copy.”
The report has been published covering CCH’s performance for the year ending 31st March 2010. Copies are available from CCH’s offices in Gillibrand Street, by telephoning 01257 244800 or online.
My first official publication : )
You can find it in the National Geographic Traveler issue of Jan/Feb 2009.

A postcard published by H.P. Co. Ltd. bearing an early image of Westminster Abbey.
Although it is postally unused, the card has the following message on the back::
"19 Oct. 32
Dear Mums,
This is a lovely place too - in
Westminster Abbey one walks
on tombs all the time.
The Unknown Warrior is buried
here. Very sweet words on the
stone.
Love Agnes"
A postcard published by Heiss & Co., Graph. Kunstanstalt Coln-Lindenthal.
The card was posted on Wednesday the 23rd. July 1919 to:
Mrs. Couchman,
69, Montfort Road,
Strood,
Kent,
England.
The back of the card bears a rectangular blue censor's stamp numbered 1804. The censor has also signed the card.
The pencilled message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Rhine Army.
Hope you are alright -
haven't heard since
Saturday".
There have been two formations named British Army of the Rhine (BAOR). Both were originally occupation forces in Germany, one after the First World War, and the other after the Second World War.
The first British Army of the Rhine was set up in March 1919 to implement the occupation of the Rhineland. It originally comprised five corps, composed of two divisions each, plus a cavalry division.
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Not a lot, but two days earlier, on Monday the 21st. July 1919, there was an air accident in Chicago.
The Wingfoot Air Express was a dirigible that crashed into the Illinois Trust and Savings Building in Chicago. The Type FD dirigible, owned by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, was transporting people from Grant Park to the White City amusement park.
One crew member, two passengers, and ten bank employees were killed in what was, up to that point, the worst dirigible disaster in United States history.
The craft caught fire at about 4:55pm while cruising at an altitude of 1,200 ft (370 m) over the Chicago Loop. When it became clear the dirigible was lost, the pilot, Jack Boettner, and chief mechanic, Harry Wacker, used parachutes to jump to safety. (I'm all right, Jack!)
A second mechanic, Henry Weaver, died when his parachute caught fire. Another passenger, Earl H. Davenport, a publicity agent for the White City Amusement Park, jumped from the dirigible, but his parachute got tangled in the rigging and he hung fifty feet below the burning craft; he was killed when the airship crashed.
A fifth person who parachuted from the dirigible, Chicago Daily News photographer Milton Norton, broke both legs and later died in hospital.
At the Illinois Trust & Savings Bank building at the northeast corner of LaSalle Street and Jackson Boulevard, 150 employees were closing up after the day's business in and around the main banking hall, which was illuminated by a large skylight.
The remains of the Wingfoot struck the bank's skylight directly, and flaming debris fell through to the banking hall below. The result was that ten employees were killed, and 27 banking staff were injured.

Dopo l’anteprima di Imola, Laura Pausini sarà protagonista di quattro speciali appuntamenti live per i quali l’artista è già al lavoro con un team di professionisti e per cui sta definendo, insieme alla sua band, nuovi arrangiamenti e una scaletta pensata appositamente per questi concerti. L'ultima fatica discografica, Simili, della cantante italiana la porta in giro per gli stadi di tutta Italia con #pausinistadi. Non una, ma ben due date a San Siro, il 4 e 5 giugno.
Il lato destro del cuore o Lado derecho del corazón? Si può cantare sia in italiano sia in spagnolo il primo singolo estratto dall'album Simili. Famosa in tutto il mondo, in particolare in America Latina, Laura Pausini porta i successi del nuovo disco in tour in Italia e nelle capitali europee.
"La scaletta comprende 45 canzoni. Sono tantissime anzi alcune che volevo fare le ho tenute fuori perché lo spettacolo dura già 2 ore e mezza e poi a San Siro da una certa ora in poi in poi non si può più suonare. Il palco l'ho disegnato io, lo volevo imponente ma semplice. C’è tutta la passione di un lavoro serissimo che ho preparato con la mia squadra. Nello show c'è tutto l'amore che posso e che voglio portare in giro con trasporto e con tanto sentimento".
Non mancano ovviamente i successi storici, da La solitudine a Resta in ascolto, da Primavera in anticipo a Io canto. E insieme a lei canteranno tutti i suoi fan, nella doppia data a San Siro.

I was contacted recently and asked if I would sell a couple of my images so that they could be used in a magazine. I agreed, the magazine arrived in the post today. Both images were used, and one was used as a backdrop for a 2 page spread.
It's in "Paranormal" magazine, issue 27, September 2008.
I'm feeling quite chuffed :-)

Week 12 in 52 Weeks for Not Dogs
A trip to my favourite place, The Hawk Conservancy has provided the perfect photo opportunity for this weeks 'no dog' shot. Picardi is a beautiful young african white backed vulture, the first one bred by the trust in captivity.
100 Words #19 Crisis
Asian Vulture Crisis
Populations of three Gyps vulture species in parts of their ranges in South Asia fell by more than 95 percent in just three years in the 1990s, and all are now classified as Critically Endangered. Unless major steps are taken, all three species could soon be facing extinction.
Initially one of the major problems was that scientists weren’t able to work out what was causing the crisis. However, after much research and the elimination of a number of possible different theories, in early 2004 new research was published identifying a commonly-used veterinary drug as the culprit.
A turning point has hopefully now been reached in the race to save these birds from extinction.

The Postcard
A postally unused Édition Artistique postcard published by P. Coustoulides of Alexandria in Egypt.
Alexandria
Alexandrie or Alexandria, nicknamed the Pearl of the Mediterranean, is the second-largest city in Egypt after Cairo, and a major economic centre, extending about 32 km (20 mi) along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the north central part of the country.
Its low elevation on the Nile delta makes it highly vulnerable to rising sea levels.
Alexandria is an important industrial center because of its natural gas and oil pipelines from Suez. Alexandria is also a popular tourist destination.
Alexandria - The Early Years
Alexandria was founded around a small, ancient Egyptian town c. 332 BC by Alexander the Great. It became an important center of Hellenistic civilization and remained the capital of Ptolemaic (Greek) Egypt and Roman and Byzantine Egypt for almost 1000 years, until the Muslim conquest of Egypt in AD 641, when a new capital was founded at Fustat (later absorbed into Cairo).
Hellenistic Alexandria was best known for the Lighthouse of Alexandria (Pharos), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; its Great Library (the largest in the ancient world; now replaced by a modern one); and the Necropolis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.
Alexandria was the second most powerful city of the ancient world after Rome. Ongoing maritime archaeology in the harbor of Alexandria, which began in 1994, is revealing details of Alexandria both before the arrival of Alexander, when a city named Rhacotis existed there, and during the Ptolemaic dynasty.
Alexandria - Later Development
From the late 18th century, Alexandria became a major centre of the international shipping industry, and one of the most important trading centers in the world, both because it profited from the easy overland connection between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, and from the lucrative trade in Egyptian cotton.
