Anarchist bandmember dumps bucket of icy water on Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott. Let no one say that the anarchists of Chumbawamba are ones to miss a prime. At Monday night's Brit awards (the major U.K. music awards event), Chumbawamba member Danbert Nobacon struck a blow on behalf of striking dock. workers in Liverpool when he dumped a bucket of ice water on Deputy Prime. Minister John Prescott, who was watching the ceremony with his wife. Prescott had been enjoying several live numbers by Fleetwood Mac at the. time of the watery attack, according to Reprise Records president Howie. Klein, who was seated just four feet from the Deputy PM. "[Nobacon] attacked [Prescott] with a bucket of ice water, screaming, 'That's for the Liverpool dockers!' " Klein said late Monday night. "[Sire. Records Group president] Seymour Stein thrust himself between the already. drenched Prescott and his enraged assailant, who then fled through the crowd. and escaped. Stein then convinced Prescott to stay by saying, 'If you. leave now, they will have won.' " Tension between Chumbawamba and government officials was rumored to have. been running high since London's Times newspaper reported that Prime. Minister Tony Blair was boycotting the awards because of Chumba's. appearance there. "Amnesia," the band's follow-up to their international. smash single, "Tubthumping," is a track expressing dissatisfaction with. Blair's Labor Party. After the awards, Prescott's office issued a statement calling the attack "cowardly." "It now appears that it was a publicity stunt designed to draw attention. to the group's act," the statement read. "[Prescott] thinks it utterly. contemptible that his wife and other womenfolk should have been subjected. to such cowardly, terrifying behaviour simply because they were. accompanying a public figure at an event designed to support the British. The strike by dock workers in Liverpool dates back to 1995, when dockers. were fired for refusing to work overtime. When hundreds of other dock. workers refused to cross the original strikers' picket line, they, too, were. fired. The action has since garnered support from labor groups across the. Monday's episode was not the first instance of dissension during the Brit. Awards. In 1996, Pulp member Jarvis Cocker was arrested for disrupting a. Michael Jackson performance at the ceremony, after he mounted the stage as. Jackson was in the process of being lowered onto it from above. Cocker was. The Spectrum Collection.

The Spectrum Collection from Dark Continents Publishing Kobo ebook review Pages 104 (Kobo epub version) Spectrum is an interesting collection of stories and poetry from a new publisher entering the market. I know a couple of the writers in this collection but everyone else was new, and to tell the truth, there were several surprises in this nice -- yet short -- collection. All the stories are spec fiction in nature and all bar one really hooked me. We have a ghost story with a bit of a twist and very well thought out; a struggling writer facing rejection who is a vampire in a world where The Happening occurred causing zombies, mutants and a lack of blood. We have a twisted story about a goat, to say more would give it away. There are a couple of zombie stories one had more oomph than the other (and that's just my opinion). It's hard to get oomph in a zombie story these days, but these do it well. In this collection, though, there is one clear winner: Lemminaid by Carson Buckingham. The execution of this short story won me over, as well as the build up, the twist and the characters. All the stories here are awesome and well worth your hard earned dosh. You won't go wrong with this collection in your e-reader or on your shelf. If you like spec fic, if you like to smirk after each story and nod your head thinking 'neat', then check out these writers and their stories here-in. read more reviews: http://reviewer-sffh.blogspot.com/ The Spectrum Collection is the second release from Dark Continents Press. Like it's predecessor, Pray, it offers up an excellent read. Within its pages are ten tales of dark speculative fiction, from in the main relatively new authors. There are tales of ghosts, evil old women, vampires, zombies, and mutant spider women. So far so good. It's common in such collections that the quality can vary greatly between each story, from excellent to plain awful. Thankfully John Prescott, knows his stuff, the tales told here range from very good to excellent. There are a couple of poems here, I won't comment on them as I have never got poetry, well other than dirty limericks. So what are my favourite tales. The Elms, Morecambe - Simon Kurt Unsworth. this is a heart wrenching ghost story, that sticks with you long after finishing it. Simon Kurt Unsworth is quickly turning into one of my all time favourite short story writers. Wicked Appetites - Sylvia Shults. A tale of vampires, mutants and an author trying to make in big in a world after the Happening. nice twist at the end. Lemminaid - Carson Buckinham. An extremely well crafted chilling ghost story about revenge and retribution. . This is only the second time I have read Carons' work. Must change that and track down more of her work. This is writing of a first class standard. Archies Tale David M. Youngquist It pains me to pick a zombie tale, I'm just burned out to the zombie genre. But credit must be given for a well told and action packed zombie tale, that keeps me reading to the end. A hard task for zombie tale. The End of Leonard Bangston - John Prescott. A tale of getting to know your family a little to well and the nasty old woman who lives at the end of your street. That's all I,m saying other than it will be a long time before I eat brawn again. Come on folks support the new boys in town and grab your self a copy. AAMC Spotlight: John Prescott, MD. Dr. Prescott, AAMC's Chief Academic Officer, always knew he wanted to be a doctor, but college proved to be more challenging than anticipated. It wasn’t until a volunteer experience in the emergency department confirmed his path to medicine and inspired him to keep pushing forward. New section. New section. But college was more demanding than I had anticipated. High school hadn’t been challenging for me, so when I got to college, I found I didn’t really know how to study. I struggled with chemistry and calculus and only managed a 2.66 GPA after dropping a course. It took lots of persistence, practice, and patience to learn new study habits. In spite of my academic troubles, I decided to volunteer at the university’s emergency department. On Thursday evenings, I would suit up in a bright red volunteer jacket and run blood and urine specimens to the lab or transport a patient to or from the radiology department. Even though I was just a volunteer, I always tried to listen to the conversations of the doctors and nurses to get a better sense of the “how and why” of patient care and to see if I could make sense of any of the X-rays. The department staff was friendly, but my presence certainly wasn’t vital and I largely went unnoticed. That all changed one evening when nearly all of the staff were busy caring for two critically injured patients. People were running back and forth, shouting orders, and attending to the two trauma patients. I seemed to be the only one who noticed a pale man in a wheelchair, his face and neck covered in cold sweat, and his right hand wrapped in a bloody towel. The only attention he was receiving was from an aide who had been hired the day before. I had to do something. I pointed the aide to a gurney off to the side, and we got the man out of the wheelchair and into the bed. I performed basic first aid: I laid him flat, raised his arm, and together with the aide, found bandages to get the bleeding under control. When things calmed down, the attending came looking for me and asked me for my name. I thought I was going to be sent home for my actions. Instead, he said, “Well John, I think you’re going to be a good doctor.” For a struggling student who wasn’t sure if he could succeed academically, those eleven words had a profound impact. They inspired me. It took another full semester for my grades to improve, but I knew then that I would eventually make it to medical school. And like the staff at the university’s emergency department who supported me throughout my time as a volunteer, I look for every opportunity to encourage struggling students who have a dream.
