Tin Roof Switch Plate, Single
18 USDwhite
Rated 4 out of 5 by 23 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ellenphant beautiful "vintage" piece These are beautiful - they look AWESOME with light or dark painted walls. I painted our hallway Valspar "agave blue" the past weekend and added the 3 switch plate cover and it looks absolutely amazing. almost like a piece of art! I also used one in a guest bathroom that has the marta stewart "vintage map" paint and looks great too. they are expensive...esp. if you have a lot of covers, but I would say to use them strategically. don't use them when a piece of furniture is covering...and i would just use them in higher traffic areas so they make a difference! the only reason why quality is 4 stars, is that I sometimes had difficultly lining up the screws exactly - eventually i was able to get it, but it look some trial and error and a little bit of adjusting. Other than that, they are perfect! July 26, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by TexaCali Gorgeous! This is the prettiest switchplate I have ever seen! I used one for the lightswitch in our bathroom, and it's amazing how much a little detail like this can change the look! It's so much better than the standard ecru-colored switchplates that come in most houses. Our bathroom is decorated with ornate vintage-y black and white items, with deep sand-colored walls, and this was perfect for the decor. I love the way the color contrasts with the wall paint. The quality is great, although, like the other poster mentioned, I do think there was a little problem with getting one of the screws to match up. (My husband installed it, so I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, but I do know that it's hanging perfectly on the wall now, where I expect it to hang indefinitely.) I would definitely recommend this item! August 25, 2009
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kristina I was excited to get these but they did not work out for me. They are well made with a beautiful vintage design. However, mine did not flush with the wall so if looking at them from the side there were big gaps. It just did not look right I was so disappointed and had to return them. September 7, 2009

IRVING -- Dallas Cowboy Terrell Owens is talking about his contract again.
Only this time, there's a twist.
T.O. is happy about it, even though he's going into the third
and final year of his deal with the Cowboys.
Owens today said it's "not a problem."
Owens in 2004 was heading into the second year of a seven-year,
nearly 49 million dollar contract with the Philadelphia Eagles when
he began squawking about a new deal.
Owens finally was released.
He signed a three-year, 25 million dollar contract with Dallas
in March 2005 and has lived up to it -- leading the team in
receiving while piling up club records.
Team owner Jerry Jones says he can look past this year and into
years in the future -- and will want Owens as a part of the

Hi all,
I'm looking to create a customized page(not Post). I have removed the side bar for just this page by modifying some code in page.php. This works fine. I now want to make the body wider to fill out the space left by the missing sidebar. The problem is that the css has the content set to 610 pixels. However, the main space is 850 pixels. Is there any way for me to override the css just for this page? I need to set the content for this page to 850 pixels.
Thanks for any advice

The modifications made in the psychiatric residency of mother-physicians at New York Medical College have had two major aims: (1) to increase the number of women physicians entering graduate training in psychiatry, and (2) to enhance the functioning of these residents by minimizing conflicts between the role of mother and the role of resident. In order to accomplish these aims, (1) the traditional three-year residency has been spread over four nine-month periods; (2) supplementary educational programs have been added where necessary; and (3) the cooperation and understanding of male residents have been enlisted. Evaluation of the program to date indicates that it has successfully accomplished its aim and suggests its potential applicability to other areas of graduate medical education.

I have the original epilady. The new one does not pull and pinch like the original. Great product, does a good job.
I have really enjoyed this product since I purchased it. It takes a little bit of investment and effort, but it is worth it. It is a little painful the first time you use it, feels prickly, but certainly leaves your skin smooth. I don't like it on my legs as much as under my arms and on my bikini line. Fantastic for those areas. I use the epilator under my arms about once a week and no shaving is required in between. Leaves the bikini line clean without causing ingrown hairs.
I have been waxing for years now. While waxing is wonderful, it gets to be quite expensive. The epilady is great in that it does the same for a one time payment! I like to dry myself off after a hot shower and use it, that way my pores are open and its not painful this way. Also, avoid using it (or waxing) during your cycle.
I have been using the Epilady for a few weeks now and I am happy with the performance. The first use was the toughest since I was removing all of the hair at once and trying to determine the best angle. I now use it a few times a week to quickly remove new growth.
I absolutely love it! I had used the original epilady for 20 years - and decided I needed a new version. My old one didn't do underarms - but this one does! It is VERY comfortable and does a great job! Definitely worth the price. Epilady has come a long ways since the original models.
I bought this one to try an actual Epilady brand epilator. I was using the Braun X'elle Body System SE5270 Epilators for two years and I felt that the blades were getting dull. The Braun one worked much better than the Epilady one even after two years old. The Braun one also has a light which is actually very useful.
I've used an epilady for more than 20 years, starting with the heavy coil model that came out first. This remarkable invention has been terrific for me, since my skin is sensitive to razors and electric shavers just didn't work well for me. The Epilady Legends I've purchased have lasted about 5 years each and are well worth the cost.
Since the 1990's I have waxed and also tried sugaring. The Epilady takes getting use to like any change but it does a good job, is less messy than wax. Also, you can pick it up any where any time and remove unwanted hair.
Item works as expected - it does hurt at first but it gets better the more you use it.
It doesn't seem to work well, I've had 2 other versions of this product that worked better. It works ok on underarm but not on legs, it takes forever and doesn't seem to get rid of all the hair no matter what length it is. Maybe I got a defective one, I might try returning and exchanging it before I decide.
it's awesome!! pretty much all over! except face! i've only used it like twice and already suprisingly have less and much finer strands of hair!!! 8-@!! U should soooo get it! i do confess epilating is painful at the beginning, but know that our incredible human bodies release endorphins to relieve constant pain for a bit. so u'll b fine!! in summary; I love the lil thing!!! o and being able to use it cordless!!! wow!!!
I wish I had gotten this a long time ago. I have been using wax strips for several years now, and decided to try the Epilady. I had the original style Remington one with the coils many years ago, but this one works so much better. It doesn't seem to tug the hair around, it's just a straight pull. I really like it and would buy it again.

semicircular canals
The three looped semicircular canals are set at right angles to each other and are filled with fluid (endolymph). Angular acceleration (for example, due to rapid turning) of the animal in any direction generates currents in the fluid along the corresponding canal. These currents are detected by fine projections from sensory cells in a swelling, called an ampulla, that lies at one attachment point of each canal. The sensory nerves communicate the information they receive to the brain via the auditory nerve.

Fans of Iron Man know that beneath the superheroâs metallic battle suit lies Tony Stark. But what lies beneath Tony Stark? What is at his core? In the current âWorld's Most Wantedâ arc of Marvelâs âThe Invincible Iron Man,â writer Matt Fraction and artist Salvador Larroca are preparing to answer that question as they take Tony on a heroic journey that strips him bare of his fortune, his advanced armors, and even of his intellect and memories. âWorld's Most Wantedâ ends with âInvincible Iron Manâ #19, issue #20 begins âStark Disassembled,â an arc that shows who Tony Stark is when you remove all of his carefully crafted artifices. CBR News spoke with Fraction about the story, which was announced Saturday at the Mondo Marvel panel at Wizard World Chicago.
âWorlds Most Wantedâ finds fugitive Tony Stark hiding from Norman Osborn a database containing the identities of every superhuman on the planet. Because the information is contained in Tonyâs brain, he's been using powerful technology to wipe it from his mind. The unfortunate side effect of this process is that other things are being erased as well, like memories and skills.
âIn 'World's Most Wanted' Tony is going to win the race he set out to run, but Osborn kind of wins too,â Fraction told CBR. âWhat you're going to see, to an extent, is all the King's horses and the King's men couldn't put Humpty back together again because maybe Humpty didn't want to get put back together againâ¦â
Fraction's hints may sound bleak, but readers shouldn't assume that âStark Disassembledâ is a grim or hopeless story. âIt's the third act of this first run of stories and my goal is to bring Tony all the way through this ordeal that started with my first arc, 'Five Nightmares,' and carried through to 'World's Most Wanted,â Fraction explained. âThe first arc was about destroying Stark, the corporation. The second arc was about destroying Iron Man and now this story is about Tony, who he is and why he is this way.
âThere is a specific end destination in mind. There's a road map and I've been saying where we're going from the get go, but I don't think people realize the depth of what that means,â Fraction laughed. âI've not been clever or coy at all. Tony's going to win the race he set out to run, but what does that mean? This story is about what makes Tony a hero.â
Given that âWorld's Most Wantedâ isn't finished yet, Fraction has to keep almost all the plot to âStark Disassembledâ a secret, but could reveal that Tony Stark's closest friends will be part of the story. âPepper Potts, Maria Hill, and Rhodey are all going to be in this story,â the writer said. âThat's assuming though that those three characters make it out of 'World's Most Wanted.'â
Pepper, Maria, and Rhodey are Tony Stark's three closest friends, but he used to be a lot more connected with the other superheroes of the Marvel Universe. At the end of âSecret Invasion,â many of Earthâs champions considered Stark **persona non grata** as a consequence of the controversial moves he made during that storyline and others like âCivil War.â That posture may change, though, by the time âStark Disassembledâ begins. âTony's taking utmost responsibility for the choices he made and Osborn has stolen everything he's ever had. I think once people see the way Tony is going to bat for them, that he's manning up, making right, and ready to pay the ultimate price for the choices he made that's going to remind people that he's not a villain,â Fraction stated. âAnd there's a spectacularly public finale to 'World's Most Wanted.' 'Stark Disassembled' is intimate and private in the way that wakes and vigils often are but 'World's Most Wanted' ends as the whole world watches.â
It's not just Tony Stark the planet is watching at the end of âWorld's Most Wanted.â âWith both X-Men and Iron Man, I've been given the unique opportunity to show Norman Osborn's weapon of choice, the Media, used against him. When the good guys start to reveal the sort of cackling lunatic he is on the inside, the cameras will be there,â Fraction said. âThey're there when Norman looks heroic and when he's the Norman we all know. When you insist on having a camera around to capture every one of your good days they're going to be there to capture your bad days as well.â
New readers and old fans will be able to find the âStark Disassembledâ storyline quite easily, because starting with Novemberâs âInvincible Iron Manâ #20, the series will feature a new trade dress designed by former â2000 A.D.â artist and acclaimed graphic designer Rian Hughes. âHe and I talked and it was fun. I hadn't really talked design stuff since I [left graphic design firm MK12 and] went fulltime to comics and it was nice to be able to discuss things in a pure design sense. We we're both on the same page very quickly,â Fraction stated. â'Invincible Iron Man' will look like a comic book about a futurist and tomorrow's test pilot. It will look like nothing else Marvel publishes.
âI first went to Warren Simons, the book's editor, and talked about wanting to do a trade dress redesign and I started off by talking about 'Immortal Iron Fist.â I think a lot of the success of that series came from David Aja's rather striking covers, and if you don't believe me go check out the 'Immortal Weapons' series that he's doing the covers for now. So this new [Iron Man] design is really looking to feel as unique as the 'Iron Fist' one, perhaps even more so. It's just beautiful. I want to put the covers on my wall.â
âStark Disassembledâ promises to be a huge storyline and by the time it comes to an end, the whole Marvel Universe will have been put into play. âTony has forced himself to evolve one step at a time and his best intentions didn't come out as smoothly as he would have liked,â Fraction said. âBut Tony isn't out of tricks yetâ¦â

Home insurance
Compare up to 76 brands in under 5 minutes
When a pet is unwell or has an accident the last thing you'll want to worry about is whether you can afford the vet's bill.
Pet insurance is there to help you pay for large expenses, such as veterinary care, so if your pet needs treatment, make a claim on the policy.
The process should be relatively straightforward and leave you with plenty of time to look after your pet.
Whenever your pet requires emergency medical care or ongoing treatment, you should check with your insurer to see if you can make a claim.
Pet insurance policies are all different but many will also pay medical expenses for your pet if you have taken them on holiday and they require urgent treatment abroad.
On other policies, it's possible to claim for alternative therapies such as acupuncture if your pet needs it, and help with the cost of advertising and rewards if your pet ever gets lost or stolen.
Depending on your level of cover, you may also be able to make a claim if your pet dies after an accident and some policies include liability insurance in case your animal ever causes damage to a third party.
It helps to let your insurer know as soon as possible that you wish to claim on the policy so try not to delay the call.
The best way to start the claim is by giving your insurers' helpline a quick call (the telephone number should be on the policy documents).
You insurer will want to know the details of what's happened to your pet and the likely costs that the situation involves.
If your pet needs medical care and is already being treated, make sure you know the name of the condition your pet has and the treatment or operations.
Your vet should be able to give you the estimated costs or you may already have an invoice or a receipt for payment. The telephone adviser can answer any questions about your claim.
Most insurers will then require you to fill in a claim form and gather together the relevant documentation to support the claim – such as medical receipts or invoices.
Usually you need to have sent off the claim form within 30 days.
If your pet has already received medical treatment and the vet's bill is outstanding, you may need to pay it before you receive the money from your insurer.
However, if your pet has a condition covered by the policy that will require ongoing treatment, you may be reimbursed for the initial costs and then claim recurring costs going forward.
In many cases the money is paid straight to the policyholder. Sometimes, however, the vet will be paid directly by the insurer. The claims helpline advisers will let you know when this is the case.
What you can claim and how much you can claim directly relates to the type of pet insurance you have bought and the level of cover it provides.
The plans are often restricted in the sum the insurer will pay out for the same or separate conditions.
That's why it's important to buy the right cover for the type, age and breed of your pet and your own financial situation.
There's no point paying over the odds. Shopping around for cover helps lower the price. But if you want it to pay out for specific things, make sure you read the small print before you buy.
Once you've sent off the paperwork and providing all of the supporting documents (the receipts and invoices) are in order, you will usually have a decision from your insurer within a couple of days.
If you're not satisfied that an insurer has paid out properly, the first step is to complain to the insurer.
If you have gone down its complaints procedure and you still feel you've been unfairly treated, the Financial Ombudsman can help you take it further.

Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Researchers say they found a compound more effective in protecting the neurons killed in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; Lou Gehrig's disease) than two drugs that failed in clinical trials after hundreds of millions of dollars had been invested in them. The team, from Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI), used a new stem-cell based drug screening technology that they say has the potential to reinvent and greatly reduce the cost of new pharmaceutical development. They say their technique successfully predicted that the two drugs that eventually failed in the third and final stage of human testing would, in fact, fail.
"It's a deep, dark secret of drug discovery that very few drugs have been tested on human-diseased cells before being tested in a live person," says Lee Rubin, Ph.D., who developed the new stem cell screening technique. Dr. Rubin is a member of HSCI's executive committee, a professor in Harvard's department of stem cell and regenerative biology, and head of HSCI's program in translational medicine. "We were interested in the notion that we can use stem cells to correct that situation."
Dr. Rubin's model is built on an earlier proof-of-concept developed by HSCI principal faculty member Kevin Eggan, who demonstrated that it was possible to move a neuron-based disease into a laboratory dish using stem cells carrying the genes of patients with the disease. In his study, Dr. Rubin lays out how he and his colleagues applied their new method of stem cell-based drug discovery to ALS. The disease is associated with the progressive death of motor neurons. As cells die, people with ALS experience weakness in their limbs followed by rapid paralysis and respiratory failure. Ten percent of cases are genetically predisposed, but for most patients there is no known trigger.
Dr. Rubin's lab began by first studying the disease in mice, growing billions of motor neurons from mouse embryonic stem cells, half normal and half with a genetic mutation known to cause ALS. Investigators starved the cells of nutrients and then screened 5,000 drug-like molecules to find any that would keep the motor neurons alive.
Several hits were identified, but the molecule that best prolonged the life of both normal and ALS motor neurons was kenpaullone, previously known for blocking the action of the enzyme GSK-3, which switches on and off several cellular processes including cell growth and death.
"Shockingly, this molecule keeps cells alive better than the standard culture medium that everybody keeps motor neurons in," Dr. Rubin said.
Kenpaullone proved effective in several follow-up experiments that put mouse motor neurons in situations of certain death. Neuron survival increased in the presence of the molecule whether the cells were programmed to die or placed in a toxic environment.
Dr. Rubin's lab then discovered that kenpaullone's potency comes from its ability to also inhibit HGK, an enzyme that sets off a chain of reactions that leads to motor neuron death. This enzyme was not previously known to be important in motor neurons or associated with ALS, marking the discovery of a new drug target for the disease.
To find out if kenpaullone works in diseased human cells, Dr. Rubin's lab exposed patient motor neurons and motor neurons grown from human embryonic stem cells to the molecule, as well as two drugs—olesoxime and dexpramipexole—that did well in mice but failed in Phase III clinical trials for ALS. Once again, kenpaullone increased the rate of neuron survival, while one drug saw little response, and the other drug failed to keep any cells alive.
Before kenpaullone could be used as a drug, explains Dr. Rubin, it would need a substantial molecular makeover to make it better able to target cells and find its way into the spinal cord so it can access motor neurons.
"This is kind of a proof of principle on the do-ability of the whole thing," he said. "I think it's possible to use this method to discover new drug targets and to prevalidate compounds on real human disease cells before putting them in the clinic."
In the meantime, Dr. Rubin's next steps will be to continue searching for better drug-like compounds that can inhibit HGK and thus enhance motor neuron survival. He believes that the new information that comes out of this research will be useful to academia and the pharmaceutical industry.
"I think that stem-cell screens will discover new compounds that have never been discovered before by other methods,"Dr. Rubin says. "I'm excited to think that someday one of them might actually be good enough to go into the clinic."
The study was published yesterday in the journal Cell Stem Cell, in a paper titled "A Small Molecule Screen in Stem-Cell-Derived Motor Neurons Identifies a Kinase Inhibitor as a Candidate Therapeutic for ALS".

South Stoneham House is a Grade II* listed[1] former manor house in Swaythling, Southampton;[2] the former seat of the Barons Swaythling[3] before the family moved to the nearby Townhill Park House. The building is currently owned by the University of Southampton, and until recently was used as a hall of residence, part of the Wessex Lane Halls.[4]
Originally called Bishop's Stoneham, the records of the manor date from Domesday, but the current house was constructed in the early eighteenth century.[3] Attributed to Nicholas Hawksmoor[1] with gardens and landscaping by Lancelot "Capability" Brown,[5] the house is close to the River Itchen and Monks Brook.[6] The manor was owned and occupied by a long series of families and people, including the Willis-Fleming family of nearby North Stoneham and Samuel Montagu, 1st Baron Swaythling.[3]
After Montagu's death his son elected to continue living at nearby Townhill Park House, and South Stoneham was subsequently sold to University College Southampton (now the University of Southampton) for use as student accommodation.[7] In 1964 the building was considerably altered by adding a 17-storey tower and a kitchen and dining complex to the building. In 2004 the University submitted plans to demolish these extensions with the intention of converting the original house into a conference venue and building new blocks of flats on the remaining landscaped gardens.[4]

Manor of South Stoneham (990–1708)[edit]
A charter dating from 990 relates to the manor of South Stoneham and during building works in the area immediately around the current house and grounds, archaeological evidence of a Saxon settlement was found.[8] The manor of South Stoneham was originally called Bishop's Stoneham, and was held by the Bishop of Winchester at the time of the Domesday Book. The original parish of South Stoneham covered more than 8,000 acres (32.37 km2; 12.50 sq mi), and extended along the eastern side of the River Itchen from the site of the present day Eastleigh in the north to just above Northam Bridge in the south, and from Swaythling to the outskirts of the original town of Southampton on the western side of the river; it included the tithings of Allington, Barton, Pollack, Shamblehurst, and Portswood. Other than St. Mary's Church (which is close to South Stoneham House but predates it considerably) and a few adjacent houses, there was no village of "South Stoneham"; the closest village to the house was Swaythling, now a suburb of Southampton.[3]
The tenants of the manor apparently took their name from it; a Gregory de South Stoneham (or Gegory de Stoneham) is recorded there in 1236 and 1249, and in 1315 the manor was held by Nicholas de South Stoneham (son of Guy de South Stoneham). In 1348 Thomas de Stoneham and his wife Alice were lord and lady of the manor, and five heiresses of theirs – possibly daughters – held the manor in 1367. However, that year they quitclaimed it to Adam le Chaundle.[3]
The history is somewhat incomplete after that point, but records do exist of the manor being passed from Nicholas Fitz John to William Nicholl in 1436 and from John Langhorn to Thomas Payne in 1478. After Payne's death the manor passed to John Langhorn's son William, and it remained in the Langhorn family until Stephen Langhorn, or Langher, sold it to John Capelyn for £140 in 1553.[3]
Capelyn sold the manor to William Conway in 1600, who sold it to Edmund Clerke in 1612; Clerke's son inherited the manor in 1634 but only survived for a further two years, at which point the manor passed to Edmund Clerke's 8½-year-old grandson, another Edmund. This Edmund Clerke was the Sheriff of Hampshire and clerk to the Signet in 1671.[3] Clerke the younger married the daughter of Giles Frampton, who took control of the manor after Clerke's death and sold it to Edmund Dummer, a former Surveyor of the Navy, in 1705.[2]
South Stoneham House (1708–1920)[edit]
Dummer purchased the South Stoneham estate, comprising approximately 300 acres (120 ha), for the sum of £3,400.[9] The house was constructed in 1708 as Dummer's family home, and its design has been attributed to Nicholas Hawksmoor.[1][10] The actual construction was carried out by Dummer's uncle, Thomas Dummer of London.[9] Edmond Dummer was from nearby North Stoneham and had been baptised in St. Nicolas' Church there.[11] The grounds of the house comprised 110 acres, with 5 acres of water.[12]
Edmund Dummer was declared bankrupt in 1711 and he died in debtors' prison two years later. His cousin Thomas, a lawyer who had acquired the manor on Edmund's behalf, fought a lawsuit attempting to gain control of the property; however in 1716, Edward Nicholas of Newton Valence took ownership of South Stoneham, purchasing it from Edmund Dummer's daughter, Jane.[9] William Sloane, whose brother Hans founded the British Museum,[13] purchased the manor from Nicholas in 1740,[2] and it was subsequently owned by his son Hans Sloane, and later by Jean Louis Bazalgette.
The previously formal grounds were landscaped between 1772 and 1780 by Capability Brown.[5] The landscaping work cost £1,050.[9] John Lane purchased the estate from Bazalgette for £15,000 in 1809[10] or 1810,[9] but was later declared bankrupt and the manor was put up for sale in 1815. It was not until 1819,[9] however, that it was bought by John Willis Fleming, who also owned the manor of North Stoneham where a new house was being built for him at North Stoneham Park.[10]
When the new North Stoneham House was completed, John Willis Fleming moved there and leased South Stoneham House to General Joseph Gubbins until the general's death in 1832. In 1831 there was a major fire at North Stoneham, and John Willis Fleming returned to live in South Stoneham House again after Gubbins' death while North Stoneham was rebuilt. When this was completed in 1834 South Stoneham House was again advertised to let, and in the latter part of the 1830s a Colonel Boucher was in residence.[14] The house was advertised for let again in 1843. Mrs Charlotte Maria Beckford leased the property with Miss Lucy Middleton[9] and Beckford died at South Stoneham House at the age of 86 on 25 Jun 1854,[10] after which Thomas Willis Fleming (second son of John) moved in. He purchased the property from his elder brother in 1857 and lived there until 1860/61. At this point they leased the property to W. C. Standish.[9] The Willis Flemings put the house up for sale in 1875 and sold South Stoneham House for £20,000 in 1878, to Captain Thomas Davison (or Daveson).[3][9][10] Included in the sale catalogue issued on 23 November 1875 was Wood Mill (still standing and operating as an outdoor activities centre as of 2013), Gascon Cottage, and land for building.[15] "Gascon's Meadow with house thereon in South Stoneham" was reconveyanced the next year.[16]
In 1888 South Stoneham House was purchased from Davison by Samuel Montagu,[3] who became the first Baron Swaythling in 1907.[9] During his tenure he had a large porch added to the front entrance of the house. Eleven years after buying South Stoneham House he also purchased Townhill Park House for his son Louis, who continued to live at Townhill after Samuel's death in 1911.
Hall of residence (1920–present day)[edit]
South Stoneham House was acquired, with South Hill (some two miles to the northwest), in 1920 to house male students at University College Southampton.[7] The salmon pool at South Stoneham was retained by the Montagu family, becoming part of the Townhill Park estate.[9] Tradition prevailed in the house, with a collegiate atmosphere as gowns were expected to be worn to dinner and lectures and curfews were enforced.
A bell was rung at 5.45 each evening and everyone settled in silence to study until another bell two hours later released us for dinner. At 10 o'clock another bell called us to prayers. Half an hour later the warden came round to all the bedrooms to check that everyone was in bed.— Ernest Holmes, The University of Southampton, An Illustrated History[7]
By 1924, there was distinct pressure on space in the halls of residence, and it was clear that more rooms were needed. The existing halls were full and so South Stoneham and South Hill were extended by covering their outbuildings.[7]
During the Second World War, the Highfield location of the College meant it was directly in the war zone itself. With Southampton being attacked, the halls of residence were also under siege: at South Stoneham windows were blown in by bombs. The School of Navigation at the College was relocated to the communal rooms of South Stoneham House for the duration of the war,[7] and afterwards was moved to Warsash; in 1970 the school became independent of the University (instead it is affiliated to Southampton Solent University) and is known as the Warsash Maritime Academy.[17]
The stables and servants' quarters were demolished in 1961[9] and in 1964 a concrete tower extension was added to the hall, incorporating a bar and dining hall area. The tower contains 180 student rooms over its 17 floors and is 48.7 metres high,[18] making it the 8th-tallest building in Southampton.[19]
On 9 January 1986, Southampton City Council created the Itchen Valley Conservation Area which includes South Stoneham House and Lodge.[20] This places a number of restrictions on the construction of new buildings and the demolition of existing structures; however the Council have made an exception in the case of the tower block attached to South Stoneham House, which "may be considered for demolition by the University within the plan period."[21]
In the 1990s South Stoneham House was merged into the Wessex Lane Halls complex of residences, although each individual hall maintained an individual character. Residents were catered for and ate originally in South Stoneham's own dining hall, part of the 1960s extension, and later in the Galley Restaurant in the neighbouring Connaught Hall. Residents shared small kitchen and bathroom facilities.
South Stoneham House continued to be used as a hall of residence into the first decade of the 21st century.
Original house[edit]
The architecture of the original building is attributed to Nicholas Hawksmoor,[10] with some alterations from around 1900[1] and the subsequent modern 1960s extensions. The original mansion is in the Queen Anne style.[22] The house itself has three storeys constructed of red brick. The ground floor level has a rubbed brick band at nine courses, and another rubbed brick band exists on the second floor, along with a moulded stone cornice level with the sills.[1]
The attic is tall and embraces the second floor. It has moulded stone coping and a small pediment in the centre, which is supported by an entablature decorated with triglyphs and modillions.[1]
The roof is tiled and hipped, with five hips in all. The seven window openings built into the roof at second-floor level are original, but fitted with modern windows. On the first floor there are nine tall, narrow windows with wide frames, stone sills and deep arches of rubbed brick. In the late 18th century eight windows, two of which are on the left-hand-side of the door, were altered. The door itself is placed centrally with a coved, moulded architrave above and 45-degree corbels decorated with acanthus supporting a cornice with round brackets and a carved keystone. The door is glazed and a Doric porch of modern brick covers the doorcase.[1]
A full-height extension exists to the left-hand side of the building (looking at the north front), and the attic storey was extended by one bay on each side after this full-height extension was built. The building is now flanked by two modern wings.[1]
The rear of the house, the south front, has the same overall design as the north front with the exception of a large central bay at ground and first-floor level. The first floor of the bay has three windows; the ground floor has two windows with a glazed door in the middle. This door is of similar design to the front door at the north of the house, and has four steps of Portland stone accompanied by balustrades also of Portland stone.[1]
On both the north and south faces of the building there are two rainwater heads made of cast lead, inscribed with the initials "EDS".[1]
1960s extension[edit]
The extension was designed by Robert Potter and Richard Hare, while the associate architect in charge was JJA Caount.[22] Potter was based in Salisbury and was better known as an ecclesiastical architect, having previously designed the (now listed) Church of the Ascension in Crownhill, Plymouth and St George's Church in Oakdale, Dorset. During his lifetime he was also responsible for significant work on Chichester Cathedral, Chelmsford Cathedral, Oxford's Bodleian Library and he held the post of Surveyor to the Fabric of St Paul's Cathedral in London.[23]
EWH Gifford and Partners were the structural engineers, while the general contractors were a company called Trollope and Colls Limited. The designers settled on a tower block so as to leave as much of the gardens and grounds intact as they could.[22]
The tower block and other additions to the house were described in the January–March 1964 edition of Concrete Quarterly as "some very fine extensions":[22]
The low blocks are of traditional brick construction to serve as a 'continuation' of the mansion. The tower, on the other hand, is concrete built and finished – a strikingly simple design of cross walls and facing panels which, in structural and elevational treatment, strongly suggests an industrialized building system: so much so, in fact, that it serves as a pointer to what system building can mean in terms of good architecture.— Extensions to a hall of residence, University of Southampton, Concrete Quarterly 60
The tower block measures 49 by 56 feet (15 by 17 m) and rests on a concrete raft 2 feet 6 inches (76 cm) thick on a stiff clay subsoil. A reinforced concrete core keeps the tower stable and contains the lifts and other services. This central core also supported a tower crane during construction which meant no scaffolding was used at all. Above the first floor level, the tower has an "egg crate structure" with cross walls made of reinforced concrete and measuring 6 inches (15 cm) thick, and 5 inches (13 cm) thick reinforced concrete floor slabs. Both the walls and floor slabs were cast on site.[22]
Grounds and gardens[edit]
The estate was landscaped some time after 1722 by Lancelot "Capability" Brown[5] and Kelly's Directory of 1915 described the house as being "pleasantly seated".[12] At that time the grounds comprised 110 acres, with 5 acres of water,[12] which would have included parts of Monks Brook (including the salmon pool that it flows into) and the River Itchen and the modern Riverside Park. However 100 years earlier the estate was more extensive, being described thus in The Times on 21 June 1815:
A highly valuable and very compact FREEHOLD ESTATE, comprising the manor or reputed manor of South Stoneham, and the capital Mansion, called South Stoneham-house, most delightfully situate on the banks of the Itchen river, distant only two miles and a half from Southampton, with offices of every description for a family of respectability, gardens, pleasure grounds, hot houses, ice house, sheets of water, fish ponds, and 360 customary acres of arable, meadow, and wood land, about 40 acres of which form a beautiful paddock, in which the mansion stands; the remainder divided into a farm, with farm house and buildings ...[10]— The Times, 21 June 1815
In 1839 the estate was described as not particularly extensive, but notable for its groups of "patrician" elm trees.[24]
It has been suggested that the ponds are relics of the "2 fisheries" mentioned in the Domesday Book entry for the site.[25] The gardens and salmon pool were the subject of an oil painting by the neo-classical painter Adam Buck; the painting, measuring 35 inches by 57 inches, sold at auction at Sotheby's in London for £3,200 on 27 November 1974.[26] Some of Capability Brown's signature cedars of Lebanon still surround the house today.
Original house[edit]
When the house was sold in 1875, the interior was described thus:
A Corridor with scagliola pilaster, having solid Ormolu Corinthian caps and bases, leads to a spacious SEMI-OCTAGONAL LIBRARY, surrounded by twenty fluted three-quarter column scagliola pilasters, standing on a scagliola base, and having ormolu caps and bases supporting a richly moulded imitation marble cornice, the recesses filled with Shelves for Books, and a black marble chimney-piece and register stove. Plate glass French Windows open into a HANDSOME-CONSERVATORY 40-ft. long and 14-ft. 6-in. wide, with a silvered plate glass screen at the further end, giving an appearance of greater length, and stocked, with some choice creapers. On the right of the Hall is a Gentleman's Room or Study with Wainscotted Walls, two large Cupboards, marble and carved Mantel-piece, next to which is a GLASS and CHINA STORE ROOM, fitted with numerous Cupboards and a close Stove, and at the back a SCHOOL ROOM overlooking the Lawn, with marble Chimney Piece and register Stove. ANTE-ROOM at side, LOBBY, long Passage, W.C.; GARDEN ROOM at end, opening on to the Terrace. THE PRINCIPAL STAIRCASE with spiral balusters and Gallery Landing, leads to TWO NOBLE DRAWING ROOMS, divided by folding doors, one being 20-ft. 3-in., by 18-ft .. 6-in., and the other 25-ft. by 20-ft. 6-in., with moulded cornices, distempered walls, woodwork grained maple, enamelled slate chimney-piece in imitation of Sienna marble, and polished register Stove. A BED ROOM, 18-ft. by 16-ft., adjoining, and a DRESSING ROOM, also A PRINCIPAL OCTAGONAL SHAPED BED ROOM OVER THE LIBRARY.[10]
Surviving interior features include an early 18th-century staircase with carved tread ends decorated with scroll, flower and leaf designs. Each step has three twisted balusters, and there is a moulded hand rail. The staircase is situated in a hall with an 18th-century ceiling painting of pelicans, trumpets and swags.[1] In the early 21st century it was planned to remove the staircase from the house entirely.[9]
The interior is panelled to dado level[1] and in the Music Room there is a cornice decorated with swags and paterae and a marble fireplace decorated with cupids, urns and more swags.[1] The music room is situated at the eastern end of the ground floor.[9]
1960s extension[edit]
Each of the upper floors of the tower block has a kitchen, a laundry and wash rooms as well as ten "study-bedrooms" and two larger rooms linked by a lobby. Each study room has a wash basin and fitted wardrobe. Originally the interior walls of the extension were not plastered since a plastic-faced plywood framework had been used to give a higher quality finish to the concrete, rendering plastering unnecessary. As a result, internal decoration was applied directly to the concrete walls.[22]
Redevelopment proposals[edit]
Much controversy has surrounded the continuous use of South Stoneham Tower and in 1997 a large wooden collar was added to the base of the tower to prevent crumbling concrete falling onto staff and students below. The tower's construction and its extensive use of asbestos mean that decommission and deconstruction has provided a technical stumbling block to redevelopment of the South Stoneham site. Physical disassembly would be hugely expensive, while explosives cannot be used due to the proximity of private houses and the Grade II* listed[6] original building. Indeed, because the tower and kitchen/dining hall complex are physically linked to the original house by a glazed connection, the whole site, including the tower, shares the listed building status.[4]
Nevertheless the University commissioned a firm of architects to create a listed building consent application for the tower and the kitchen and dining hall complex to be demolished with the resulting report being published in 2004. The application stated that the demolition was part of a "master plan" which "seeks to establish the reinstatement of South Stoneham House to a standard befitting its Listed Building status. The key part of the master plan is to refurbish and change the use of the Listed Building as a conference facility." The application stated that this would replace the University's conference centre at Chilworth Manor.[4]
To pay for the demolition of the 1960s extension, the consent application indicated that the University planned to sell off another part of the current South Stoneham estate, currently occupied by a tennis court and caretakers' house, for a residential scheme comprising 65 flats. In addition, to replace the student accommodation that the demolition would remove, the plan was for another building containing 64 student flats plus staff accommodation to be constructed on the eastern part of the site.[4]
The plan also indicated the provision of better access to the site including new footpaths alongside Monks Brook and the River Itchen as well as the possibility of handing part of the site to the city council as a nature conservation area. The University also planned a series of repairs and alterations to the original house.[4]
The listed building consent application for the demolition was recommended for approval although some concerns were raised regarding the proposed new constructions, which were to be detailed in a separate application.[4] Other applications made at the time, for the demolition of other buildings on the site and for the refurbishment and change of use of the house itself were also recommended for approval.[27][28]
In 2006, the first six floors of the tower were re-opened to accommodate an overflow of students. As of 2012, however, the building was no longer in use and was not listed on the University's website for the Wessex Lane Halls complex.[29]
A 2007 promotional leaflet revealed that architecture firm Poole Philips had recently completed a design for the "restoration and enhancement" of South Stoneham House to be used as a conference centre. The design combined the historical original house with "a modern glass structure".[30]
By 2011 the western part of the house (the end closest to the 1960s extension) had been water damaged leading to a substantial dry rot infestation. To remedy this several of the original timber lintels, wooden wall panelling, plasterwork and some steps from the staircase had all been removed and it was planned to remove the entire staircase from the house. The lintels were to be replaced with new wood and the walls were to be replastered.[9]

Economic analysis of power generation from floating solar chimney power plant
Solar chimney thermal power technology that has a long life span is a promising large-scale solar power generating technology. This paper performs economic analysis of power generation from floating solar chimney power plant (FSCPP) by analyzing cash flows during the whole service period of a 100 MW plant. Cash flows are influenced by many factors including investment, operation and maintenance cost, life span, payback period, inflation rate, minimum attractive rate of return, non-returnable subsidy rate, interest rate of loans, sale price of electricity, income tax rate and whether additional revenue generated by carbon credits is included or not. Financial incentives and additional revenue generated by carbon credits can accelerate the development of the FSCPP. Sensitivity analysis to examine the effects of the factors on cash flows of a 100 MW FSCPP is performed in detail. The results show that the minimum price for obtaining minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) of 8% reaches 0.83 yuan (kWh)-1 under financial incentives including loans at a low interest rate of 2% and free income tax. Comparisons of economics of the FSCPP and reinforced concrete solar chimney power plant or solar photovoltaic plant are also performed by analyzing their cash flows. It is concluded that FSCPP is in reality more economical than reinforced concrete solar chimney power plant (RCSCPP) or solar photovoltaic plant (SPVP) with the same power capacity.

Huh? It's either one of my occasional 60's-induced flashbacks or they made a pretty confusing video here. First of all, April Rayne is listed in the credits and on the box cover, only she never makes it to the screen. The plot, which has absolutely no connection into the box cover's baseball theme, has Jamie Summers as the Brat (with the worst case of PMS in modern history) bitching throughout the entire feature about being taken seriously as a dramatic actress with lines like "That isn't me. I'm so much more than cute."
The first erotic scene is the video's best as Tianna and a handy cameraman teach the Brat how to be truly dirty. There's plenty of standard action, some even hot and energetic, finishing up with an orgy which has nothing to do with the alleged plot. The ultimate result is an adult video which leaves fans wondering what happened to the humor and spunk which originally made this series so popular.

I grew up in South Texas, near Corpus Christi, and earned a scholarship to the University of Texas, where I obtained a degree in Electrical Engineering. After several years working as an engineer, I realized that I needed a more rewarding career, and attended law school at the University of Denver. Despite having to work full-time, and having two young children, I decided that a career in law was my passion.
After graduating from law school in 1994, I began my career as a criminal defense attorney and then started practicing family law. At first, I found family law somewhat frustrating because I saw people whose lives were in turmoil. But working in criminal defense taught me that even when faced with the most negative of circumstances, we still have an opportunity to build a positive future.
Family law matters are often difficult, even if everything goes well. For many, there is barely enough money to go around before the divorce, and now, most of their expenses double. People who once pledged to spend their lives together now want to get as far away from each other as humanly possible. The children, who are too often caught in the middle of a divorce, find the uncertainty in their lives troubling, and often react in negative ways.
I think the practice of family law requires a practical, results-based approach. As one attorney told me early in my practice "Some lawyers forget that our job is to bring the case to an end." For many, that end will occur in a conference room; with a mediated resolution that is a fair compromise from both sides. For others, that end can only come from having their day in court.
Every action that I take in a family law matter is intended to move you toward that end. If it requires me to fight to obtain the resolution you deserve, then that's the approach we will take. If a calmer, more negotiated settlement is the goal, and I prefer to work that way, then will be our path. But my approach to the case will always be reasonable, and I will present our case with skill, professionalism, and the highest standards of integrity. I will aggressively move the case forward, but will avoid tactics that unnecessarily add to the costs of litigation. I will consider what is best for the children, and will present your case in the best possible light. I will work to find the shortest path to settlement or resolution, so the healing process can begin, and you can begin working toward a new and better life.
Prior to becoming "Of Counsel" at The Harris Law Firm, I also worked as a hearing officer for a metro area county, listening to parties resolving disputes over real property taxes.
In my spare time, I'll often be found in the mountains. Depending on the season, I may be skiing, fishing, rafting, hunting with my longbow, or just enjoying time at altitude. I may also be cooking, as fine dining is another one of my passions. You can also find me in the stands at just about any sporting event in Denver as I enjoy football, baseball, basketball and hockey!

Nice colors. Fabric was very sheer. The fit was not right for me. I am 5'3" and ordered a small. The neckline is long and thus very low fitting. Sleeves are tight but the body of the top is very baggy and loose fitting. I wish it were more fitted. Peplum does sit lower on me.
07/04/2014By Fancy
Quality is fine. Definitely a cute top. I'm 5'5", ordered a medium. The peplum sits lower on me than the photo shows, it's quite long. As is the neckline. The sleeves are fairly narrow, especially if you want to wear them tabbed. More tunic like on me.

Jordon is a competent attorney. Unfortunately he is very busy and I did not feel he was able to sufficiently focus on my case with the urgency I expected.
Posted by Alexa
I strongly recommend Jordon Steinberg. Professional and fair. Very diligent staff. Was very responsive and was able to assist me in matters even on weekends and holidays. Truly one of the best. We accomplished and achieved even more than I had imagined. Very concerned about family and finding a solution best for children if involved. I feel so lucky to have had him represent me.
Posted by a client
Jordon and his staff made my whole divorce procedure very smooth, simple and pain-free. I was incredibly impressed with the way they handled everything and the way I was treated. Any questions I had, no matter how small were promptly and politely answered on the same day. I needed quite a bit of guidance with the procedure and Jordon happily helped me with all my concerns and queries. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and am very grateful for all they did for me.
Posted by Cyndi
Jordon Steinberg is a man of the highest integrity who's work ethic and professionalism is impeccable. His ability to be empathetic and instill compassion during a time of total despair, was the force that gave me strength and hope. My first contact with Jordon was in 2008 and my first impressions of him were: honest, non-judgmental, sincere. At no time did I feel pressure or uncomfortable and in 2014 when I was ready to proceed, Jordon was the one I contacted. Jordon and his team provided me with the legal guidance and support I needed to persevere and move forward during an extremely difficult time. His knowledge of family law surpasses all others and his support staff is stellar. They played an integral part in keeping the lines of communication open at all times, no matter what. Jordon's patience and caring demeanor are what guided me through the steps and process of divorce and was the glue that held me together. I could not and would not be where I am today without Jordon. I have no words for someone who believed in me when nobody else would. I will be forever grateful.

Posted by a Child Custody client
Mr. Steinberg has been helping me with a very difficult custody case regarding my daughter. At all times he has put my daughter's best interests first, and has offered excellent advice on how to make sure her needs are being met. It is so nice to have an attorney I can fully trust, and I would recommend him to anyone.
Posted by John
Jordon is a great attorney. He always works hard to find the best solutions for his clients and keeps in mind the impact to the children involved. He knows the law well and also consults with you on the possible outcomes and risks involved. He has great negotiation talents and strong tactful skills in court. I highly recommend him.
Posted by Jody Hamel
Getting a divorce is never easy, but Jordon was so compassionate and forthcoming on what to expect, and how things were going to go. Not one time did I have a problem getting information from him or hearing back from him. I highly recommend him!
Posted by Dina
Jordon Steinberg was very helpful, informative & patient with me while I was going through my divorce. He was was very honest & knowledgable in Family Law and was looking out for my best interest.
I have used other Attorney's that was not that helpful, honest or concerned of the out come of my divorce.
Posted by Robert
By utilizing his knowledge of law and his keen negotiating skills, Jordan was able to resolve my very difficult divorce terms quickly and fairly to both sides. He always had my best interest at heart as well as the best interest of my children. I truly felt like I had someone in my corner at all times. His communications skills far surpassed any other professional relationship I have endeavored. I have and will continue to recommend Jordon to my friends and family.

Family dinner night isn't always easy to plan – that's certainly a fact that can't be disputed. Little Suzie might complain that there's no dessert with the meal; young Stevie most likely doesn't want to eat his broccoli; mom and dad might bicker over whether or not mashed potatoes are a legitimate serving of vegetables or whether or not there is any nutritional value to Sunny Delight.
To anyone who's been forced to plan and/or take part in family dinner nights in the past, these disagreements are aplenty. If you mix those disagreements in with the fact that Italian food is – by far – of the most emotional cuisines you can indulge in, things can start to get really complicated really fast. This is why we want to help you (being restaurant and delivery experts) have the perfect Italian family dinner night, whether you're looking to do all of the cooking and cleaning yourself or if you're just looking to have us deliver you the food you crave from the Italian restaurants you love.
The whole idea of eating appetizers is to indulge in them in order to stimulate your appetite for the main course. For this reason, despite how great Fried Calamari, Clams Casino and Stuffed Mushrooms are, it's always better to go for cold appetizers than to go for warm ones. Cold appetizers increase your appetite more, while hot appetizers can bog you and your appetite down and – if they're too hot – they can entirely slow your digestion process, which has the potential to make you pretty much physically useless after dinner.
One of my favorite cold appetizer options is Chilled Lobster with sides of fresh lemon and cocktail sauce. Of course, fresh lobster is something of a delicacy, and can be a little on the expensive side, but if you're a seafood lover and it's within your budget, it's totally worth it. The only downside is that there's a small chance that the Chilled Lobster dish might be the most delicious thing you eat during the entire meal (I don't see anything wrong with that!). If lobster's out of the question, here's a cold, reliable, delicious recipe for a Heirloom Tomato & Mozzarella Salad from Maggiano's Little Italy's blog – The Chef's Table.
Bruschetta, though served half hot, half cold, is also a solid appetizer option to kick off your family Italian dinner with a bang. If all else fails, serve a cold antipasto – garnished with pickled vegetables and fresh cold cuts – to kick off your Italian feast.

If you didn't stop by the 31st annual MayFair event this past Sunday in Cambridge's Harvard Square, you missed out on the chance to indulge in delicious foods. Even more than that, you missed out on the opportunity to talk to Italian Chef Fabio Viviani, formerly of Bravo's "Top Chef" show, as well as taste authentic Italian salumi fresh out of the MeatUp Food Truck. Viviani (pictured on the right) earned the "Fan Favorite" title after competing in Season 5 of "Top Chef" – which is probably the best way you could describe him, as he made it back onto "Top Chef All Stars" because everyone loved him so much. He also hosts the #1 lifestyle and food web series on Yahoo! called "Chow Ciao!," owns and operates restaurants in greater Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami, and wrote the New York Times bestselling cookbook, "Fabio's Italian Kitchen." I interviewed Fabio over the weekend and discuss his favorite recipe, his favorite cities to eat in in the United States, and more.

For your Latina section.
Pretty Little Latinas 22 is first and foremost a top notch Latina title, packed with a solid assortment of tasty Brazilian young'uns and nasty sex to match. But this baby should appeal also to fans of big butts, anal sex, big natural boobs and hot babes with skimpy tan lines.
Marcela Leon does such a good job sucking cock and wrapping her fat tits around it that the dude has to pop within moments of putting it in her pussy. But he doesn't stop there. He continues to bang her and then stuffs his abnormally thick dick in her ass. Isabella is a first timer with a barely legal-looking face and a pear-shaped butt. She gets d.p.'d.
Not all Brazilian releases are created equally and this one is better than most.
