Fashion photographer Corinne Day dies aged 48
Day was best known for shooting supermodel Kate Moss at the beginning of her career.
Day’s 1993 photos of Moss posing suggestively were criticised and prompted the "heroin chic" movement.
At the time of the controversial pictures of a young Moss in her underwear, Day’s work was condemned for capturing the star looking gaunt.
Now just WHY she felt the need to do this who knows (click to see more) Continue reading Jordan Bares All
RESIDENTS living on the doorstep of a planned “super-development” of almost 2,000 homes have raised concerns over the pressure it would put on jobs, roads and schools in the area.
The massive 76-hectare site at the former Llanilid opencast mine would include 1,850 new homes, supermarket, shops, school, health centre and library.
Plans for the development, which would share the site with Valleywood film studios and a “commercial” development with leisure facilities, a hotel and business park, were submitted to Rhondda Cynon Taf council this week.
But residents living in nearby Pencoed, Llanharan and Llanharry said the huge scale of the development, which would lie just off the M4 between Pontyclun and Bridgend, could put enormous pressure on local jobs, schools and roads.
via WalesOnline – News – Wales News – Valleywood development too much, say residents.
My letter to 22-year-old Wales Green Party leader.
Dear Sam
I read with amazement your comments on Wales Online below. You surely cannot seriously believe that soldiers from rogue nations would be trained alongside British servicemen? Do you even know what this training academy is doing? It’s all about engineering training, teaching our armed forces to look after the equipment used on the front line.
Now I realise you don’t like wars, and I’m sorry about that, but please stop spouting this utter rubbish because you’re making yourself look like a right dipstick! I actually voted Green at the last election but never again!
Good day to you.

Wales’ Green Party spokesman Sam Coates called the project “a waste of taxpayers’ money”.
He warned: “The government would not necessarily have any control over who is being trained there – it does not look like the MoD would have much control over who was trained there so you could train private mercenaries or (soldiers) from rogue nations.”

Amazes me how many local politicians seem against creating thousands of jobs in the area. Bloody idiots.
