Hampton Court Palace
Hampton Court Palace is located in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and dates from around 1514 when it was built by King Henry VIII for Cardinal Wolsey. He lived in the palace until 1529 when he fell out of favour with the King and from that point on it became the main residence of King Henry VIII who had it enlarged. Over the next two centuries it was enlarged further and remained a principal residence of the Royal Family until the late 18th century. Today Hampton Court Palace is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Britain and plays host to many events throughout the year, including an annual flower show by the Royal Horticultural Society that attracts over 300,000 visitors. The palace is open for visiting daily throughout the year (with the exception of a few public holidays over the Christmas period) and several different ticket options are available. Full details of prices along with the opening hours are available on the website.

More than 50 years go, Mike Ilitch was poised for major-league glory. An up-and-coming shortstop for the Detroit Tigers, his baseball finesse was blossoming when an injury derailed his sports career. But although the wound stunted his athletic aspirations, it steered him toward a new path, and on May 8, 1959, he and his wife opened the first Little Caesar's location, a then-unheard-of carryout-only joint. The career shift and novel technique eventually proved triumphant—today, the pizzeria's iconic, toga-clad mascot adorns storefronts on five continents. In each shop, staffers forge the signature Hot-N-Ready pizza, a freshly baked pie designed for instant pick-up, and warm, garlicky Crazy Bread. With a storied half-century under their belt, Mike Ilitch and his family strive to give back, supporting local organizations and creating its own charitable programs.
Armed with just a single, generations-old cookie recipe, Great American Cookies opened its first store in 1977, and the rest is history. Today, the franchise boasts locations in malls across the country and nabbed a coveted spot on Entrepreneur magazine?s 2012 Top 500 Franchises in the baked-goods category. As the shop?s reputation grew, so did its menu as chefs churned out a mouthwatering roster of gourmet-cookie recipes, each created and carefully tested in Atlanta. The tempting options now include snickerdoodle, peanut butter with M&Ms, and chewy pecan supreme, as well as freshly baked fudge and cheesecake brownies, and cookie sandwiches stuffed with frosting. The real show-stoppers, however, are the giant chocolate-chip cookie cakes, which can be customized with sweet, celebratory messages or shopping lists penned in colorful icing.
Young Barn Pub & Oyster Bar respectfully contests the notion that the coasts have a monopoly on oysters. They put a southwestern spin on theirs, prepping them Texas-style?baked and covered in cajun seasonings, cheese, bacon, and jalapenos. There are also Wild Bill's oysters, named for the famous gunslinger's ability to hit an oyster from 20 yards away on the shoreline. These up the seafood ante with toppings of shrimp, scallops, and crabmeat, plus bacon and mozzarella.
Purists can still get their hands on oysters Rockefeller or oysters on the half-shell, of course. And aside from shellfish, Young Barn's menu features po'boys, ribeye steaks, shrimp platters, and even pizza and pasta.
California Yogurt Kraze, under new ownership, invites guests to step up to its line of self-serve yogurt stations and pour out a tasty, low-fat dessert loaded with calcium, healthy active cultures, and rich, creamy flavor. Most of their yogurt is fat-free, with no cholesterol or preservatives, and includes four healthy yogurt cultures, as well as being safe for most diabetics and people who are lactose intolerant. With 24 yogurt flavors, and over 80 toppings, patrons scoop up spoonfuls of flavors such as cheesecake, espresso, birthday cake, cookies and cream, california tart, and Valencia orange sorbet, crowned with toppings such as pineapple, Twizzlers, brownies, or chocolate syrup.
While on vacation nearly a decade ago, college best friends Ron Savell and Chris McDonald looked across the waves in Waikiki and saw a different kind of paradise: a restaurant of their very own. Back in Montgomery, the duo opened their first Mugshots Grill & Bar in 2004, where they built their signature hamburger: ground beef round grilled medium well and served atop a toasted sourdough bun. Beer-battered fries complement burgers and other menu items such as club sandwiches at Mugshots' nine locations scattered across three states.
It's clear from The Seafood Bistro's name that the chefs specialize in foods from the ocean. It's the casual eatery's sheer range of seafood, though, that is its biggest draw. Served in simple paper baskets, the custom-prepared meals include fried oysters and claws, battered and baked fish, and shrimp po'boys drizzled with their signature Fisher's Alley sauce. Eclectic Southern sides such as bacon and cheddar-smothered fries, made from scratch red beans and rice, and seafood gumbo make for a colorful addition to each meal and hot weapons to throw at any pirates trying to steal the last bite.

US 4850907 A Abstract An air motor for small manually powered recreational boats. The overall system includes a manually powered pump which supplys pressurized air to accumulator tanks through check valves, a throttle to pass selected quantities of pressurized air from the tanks to an air motor, and the motor which converts the air pressure to rotational motion which drives an underwater propellor to move the boat. The air motor includes at least two sets of valves and power piston assemblies. A control cam and a power cam are mounted on a rotatable crankshaft which also drives the propellor. The control cam actuates the valves to direct air therefrom in a properly timed sequence. The power piston rods press on the power cam (functioning as a lever arm) to cause rotation of the crankshaft. This air motor assembly is compact, lightweight, smooth running and energy efficient.
Claims(2) 1. An air motor drive system for small boats which comprises:
manually driven air pump means for compressing air; storage means to accumulate said compressed air; throttle means for infinitely varying the release of air from said storage means; at least two power cylinder assemblies adapted to receive air from said throttle means, each including a piston means movable in response to air pressure directed thereagainst to apply mechanical pressure to a circular power cam eccentrically mounted on a crackshaft to rotate said crankshaft; a control valve assembly associated with each power cylinder, each control valve assembly including valve means operatively connected to a cam follower means adapted to contact a control cam centrally positioned on said crankshaft and to direct air pressure from said throttle means to said power cylinder in accordance with the shape of said control cam; and means for direction said crankshaft rotation to a propeller. 2. The air motor drive system according to claim 1 wherein control valve assembly comprises:
a housing adjacent to said control cam; a piston slidable toward and away from the control cam surface in a bore in said housing; cam follower means on the end of said piston to ride along said cam surface; means biasing said piston toward said cam surface; first valve means within said housing adapted to permit air from an external source of pressurized air to pass to said power cylinder when said cam surface causes said cam follower to be a first distance from the cam axis and to prevent air from passing to said cam follower to be a second distance from the cam axis; second valve means within said housing adapted to permit air to exhaust from said power cylinder when said cam surface causes said follower to be at said second distance from the cam axis and to prevent air from exhausting from said power cylinder when said cam surface causes said follower to be at said first distance from the cam axis; said first and second valve means being adapted to both prevent flow of air to or from said power cylinder when said cam surface causes said follower to be at a distance intermediate of said first and second distances from the cam axis. Description This invention relates in general to energy conversion systems and, more particularly, to an air motor system for driving small recreational boats. Manually-powered small boats have long been used for transportation and recreation. Many such boats are powered by oars, paddles or the like. These like methods are not convenient for the occasional recreational user, since they require considerable skill and a high, constant work output. Later, "paddle boats" were developed using large side or rear-mounted paddle wheels driven by the operators hands or feet through mechanical crank systems. Direct manual drive of a propeller was also attempted, as described by Willis in U.S. Pat. No. 636,479. While these require less skill to operate, they are still energy-inefficient and require a constant input of manual energy to keep the boat in motion. A number of air drive systems have been developed in order to reduce the need for constant word and to improve systems inefficiency. These systems use a manual air compression systems, such as hand or foot driven piston-type air pumps, a tank to accumulate the pressurized air into rotary motion at an underwater propeller. These permit the operator to build up pressure, then rest while the propeller continues to operate on stored energy for a period. Typical of these prior air drive systems are those described by Crowe in U.S. Pat. No. 808,346 and Smith in U.S. Pat. No. 453,217. While these early air drive mechanisms are apparently workable, they are mechanically complex, heavy and inefficient, particularly in using turbines to convert air pressure to rotary motion. Turbines tend to be very inefficient at the low rotational speeds involved in such boats. Other manual boat drives include directly coupled manual pump means driving a water jet as described by Ch'iu in U.S. Pat. No. 3,487,806 and the direct pedal operated fluid drive described by Sever et al in U.S. Pat. No. 2,720,185. Again, these have disadvantages in requiring constant effort to keep the boat in motion and inefficient energy conversion. Thus, there is a continuing need for energy efficient, compact and lightweight manual drive systems for small recreational boats which allow the accumulation of energy to permit the operator to rest for periods while continuing to operate the boat and in particular for improved air motors suitable for use in such systems. The above-noted problems, and others, are overcome by this invention, which basically includes a novel air motor useful in a system which includes a manual pump for compressing air and directing it to a tank for accumulation, at throttle for selectively varying the quantity of air passing to the air motor for varying speed and a propeller drive means for taking the rotational energy produced by the air motor and driving the boat through the water. The air motor comprises at least two (preferably three) sets of control valve assemblies and power cylinders, each of which includes a piston slidable within the cylinder and having an output piston rod. A crankshaft is provided, one end or which acts as the power output connection to the propeller drive, having mounted thereon a control cam which operates the valves and a power cam which receives dynamic power from the power cylinders. The control cam is configured so as to sequentialy direct air form the tank to the power cylinder to push the piston rod against the power cam and to exhaust air form the cylinder during the exhaust stroke. The several valve and cylinder pairs operate in an overlapping sequence producing a smooth and steady flow of power to the propeller. Details of the Invention, and of certain preferred embodiments thereof, will be further understood upon reference to the drawing, wherein: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a boat of the sort which can advantageously utilize my air motor assembly; FIG. 2 is an elevation view of the boat of FIG. 1, partially cut-away, showing the components of the air motor assembly; FIG. 3 is a plan view of the boat of FIG. 1 with the superstructure removed to reveal the internal components; FIG. 4 is an elevation view of my air motor assembly; FIG. 5 is a section view of my air motor assembly, taken on line 5--5 in FIG. 4; FIG. 6 is a chart illustrating the relative sequence of piston movement during operation; and FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating the relative sequence of valve operation in conjunction with piston position as shown in FIG. 6. Referring now to FIG. 1, there is seen a perspective view of a typical recreational boat in which the air motor drive assembly of my invention can be effectively utilized. Of course, the boat could have other shapes and uses. For example, the boat could be configured to carry multiple passengers with multiple manual pump means if desired, or the boat could be used for other purposes, such as a dingy for a large vessel, fishing, etc. The configuration shown is especially suitable for illustrating a preferred application of my air motor system. The boat of FIG. 1 includes two spaced hulls 10 having their upper surfaces closed by a superstructure 12 which includes a deck 14, a cowl 16 and a seat structure 18. The operator sits on seat 20 in a position such that his feet naturally and comfortably rest on a pair of pedals connected to air pumps as detailed below. Seat 20 may be adjustable in a force-and-aft direction to accommodate different operators. A throttle lever 24 is provided for controlling speed, as discussed below. A steering wheel 24 or the like may be provided for steering the boat through a conventional rudder (not shown) or by rotating the axis of the propeller in a conventional manner. The overall arrangement of the drive system is schematically illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 is a side elevation view with the near hull 10 removed to expose the internal components. In the plan view of FIG. 3, the superstructure 12 is removed for the same reason. A pair of cylinders 26 are manually driven to compress air for driving air motor 28. Each cylinder 26 includes a piston (not seen) which reciprocates within the cylinder in response to pressure on pedals 22. Output lines 30 carry pressurized air from cylinders 26 to tanks 32 located in hulls 10. Check valves prevent air from tanks from reentering cylinders 26. A crossover line 36 connects cylinders 26 behind the pistons. As one pedal is pushed into its cylinder, a vacuum is created behind the piston. This is transmitted through crossover line 36 to the other cylinder as a suction which pulls that piston and pedal back to the outermost position. Thus, after each pedal is pushed in, it automatically moves back out when the other pedal is pushed. Pressurized air produced by cylinders 26 is accumulated in tanks 32. If desired, the operator could "pump up" the tanks before starting out. Or, a shore-based source of air, such as an electronically powered compressor, could be used to pressurize tanks 32 through conventional tire valve stems (not shown) prior to beginning a trip in the boat. Then, the operator would only need to operate pedals 22 occasionally to keep pressure up. To begin movement, the operator opens throttle valve 24 slightly, permitting pressurized air to flow from tanks 32 to air motor 28. Speed is controlled by varying the opening of throttle valve 24. The air passes through a fitting 38 which directs it to three valves 40 through lines 42. Valves 40 direct air flow in the proper sequence through lines 44 to power cylinders 46 which cause shaft 48 to rotate. Air motor 28 is described in detail below. Shaft 48 is connected to propeller 50 by any suitable power transmission means, such as a right-angle gear box or a flexible drive. The boat may be steered through wheel 26 in any conventional manner, such as through a rudder or means to pivot propeller 50 about a vertical axis. In use, the operator may pump pedals 22 as necessary to keep the pressure in tanks 32 at a desired level. Because of the quantity of air stored, the operator need not pump at all times; instead he can pause to rest, fish, etc. without losing way. Details of my air motor are provided in FIGS. 4 and 5. While any suitable number, two or more, pairs of control valves 40 and power cylinders 46 may be used, three as shown in the preferred arrangement for the optimum combination or power, smooth operation, light weight and compactness. If desired, two or more assemblies as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 could be stacked, driving one shaft 48, or two or more assemblies could be used in one boat, each driving a separate propeller. Each control valve 40 includes a housing 52 having a cylindrical bore 54 in which a piston 56 rides. The outer end of each piston 56 includes a rotatably mounted ball 58 acting as a cam follower to engage the surface of a control cam 60 under pressure provided by spring 62. A valve stem 64 carrying first and second valve disks 66 and 68 is axially movable within each piston 56 and is biased toward piston 56 by a spring 70 which bears against an end plug 72 closing the end of housing 52. Air is admitted to each valve 40 through a line 42 (schematically indicated by a broken line for clarity) and valve inlet opening 74. When a first valve disk 66 is open (as seen in the upper left valve 40 in FIG. 5), air can pass through valve outlet opening and line 44 to cylinder opening 78. When first valve disk 66 is in the closed position and second valve disk 68 is open (as in the lowermost valve in FIG. 5), exhaust air may pass back from cylinder opening 78, through line 44, valve opening 76 and out to the atmosphere through exhaust opening, which extends through the walls of housing 52 and piston 56. When both first valve disk 66 and second valve disk 68 are closed (as seen in the upper right hand valve 40 in FIG. 5) air neither enters or leaves the valve, since the associated cylinder is at top dead center or bottom dead center and switching between power and exhaust strokes, as described in detail below. Each valve 40 is held to crankcase plates 82 by bolts (not seen) which pass through holes 84. Each valve 40 controls the operation of a corresponding cylinder 46. Each cylinder includes a housing made up of a body 86 having a cylindrical bore, and top and bottom closures 88 and 90, respectively, all held together by a plurality of bolts 92 which pass through closures 88 and 90 and into crankcase 82. Within each bore a piston 94 with piston rod 96 is slidably positioned. Top and bottom sealing rings 98 and 100, respectively seal the bore against air leakage. Piston rods 96 slide in a sealed relationship in bushings 102. A rotatable ball 104 at the end of each piston rod 96 acts as a cam follower, riding against power output cam 106. As best seen in FIG. 4, upper and lower crankcase plates 82 together with the cylinder bottom closures 90, form an enclosure, substantially surrounding crankshaft 48 and cam 106, which is mounted on a shoulder 108 on crankshaft 48 and held in place by a nut 110 threaded onto a threaded portion 112 of shaft 48. A pair of flanges 114 on crankshaft 48 hold the shaft in position between crankcase plates 82. Flanges 114 are held in place in any conventional manner, such as nuts on threaded portions of shaft 46, setscrews, pins or the like. During the power stroke, as air pressure drives each piston 94 down, piston rods 96 through balls 104 drive cam 106 to rotate. Cam 106, which has an off-set, circular shape, functions as a lever arm. During each exhaust stroke, cam 106 pushes the piston 94 back, exhausting air from the cylinder. By properly sequencing the application of pressure to power cam 106, and varying the pressure through throttle 24, crankshaft 48 is rotated at the desired speed. Operation of the air motor 28 and the proper sequence of operation will be better understood upon reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. For the purpose of discussing these figures, the three pairs of valves 40 and cylinders 46 will be identified as first, second and third sets, starting with the uppermost set in FIG. 5 and moving clockwise. As seen in FIG. 5, the cams 60 and 106 rotate in a clockwise direction as indicated by arrow 116. The cam follower 58 of first valve 40 is just entering a 30 ramp between top dead center (TDC) and the intake open mode (FIG. 7) as the first piston begins its stroke (FIG. 6.) In FIG. 5, the second valve is in the exhaust mode, approaching TDC and the third valve is in the power stroke, nearing bottom dead center (BDC). As seen at 120 in FIG. 7, the valve cam follower is halfway along a 20 ramp which assures a smooth transition between power and exhaust strokes. To assure that power is not applied too early, the intake fully opens only at about 30 past TDC as indicated at 122 in FIG. 7. By following the charts and timing patterns of FIGS. 6 and 7 across, it can be seen that this valve and cylinder system operates smoothly, with at least one cylinder in the power mode at all times in the preferred three cylinder arrangement. If only two cylinders are used, there will be short transitional breaks in the application of power, making for rougher operation. Four or more sets of valves and cylinders could be used, if desired, but I have found that the additional weight and complexity is not necessary or desirable. While certain specific arrangements, dimensions and components were detailed in the above description of preferred embodiments, those can be varied, where suitable, with similar results. For example, various other air pumping arrangements can be used and the air motor assembly could be used in a variety of other boats. Other variations, ramifications and applications of this invention will occur to those skilled in the art upon reading this disclosure. Those are intended to be included within the scope of this invention, as defined in the appended claims. Patent Citations

Bronson (18)
Grievous bodily charm
A couple of weekends ago, I found myself drifting through The Shawshank Redemption on television for something like the fourth time: for those few who haven't seen it, it's a film about how an innocent man condemned to a lifetime in prison discovers new reserves of strength and humanity in himself, retaining hope and dignity in the face of brutality, bringing a tiny blast of culture and hope to his fellow inmates, and finally winning freedom. It is not, you'll gather, a realistic picture.
Bronson is The Shawshank Redemption's dark twin, a film in which the hero, a brute himself, never had any hope or dignity to begin with, is guilty as hell, despises culture, and far from winning freedom just coils himself tighter and tighter into the system. It is also not a realistic picture, despite being to all intents and purposes true.
In theory, this is a biography of Michael Peterson, aka "Charles Bronson", who is frequently described as "Britain's most violent prisoner". After being convicted of a relatively petty robbery in 1974, Peterson/Bronson began a career of self-publicising violence, assaulting or taking hostage prison officers and inmates and repeatedly staging protests; as a consequence, his original seven-year sentence has been extended and extended (he's now on a life sentence, though with a possibility of parole very soon). Apart from 68 days in the 1980s he has spent the last 35 years in jail, nearly all of that in solitary confinement.
Prison has provided the setting for plenty of effective films – Cool Hand Luke, The Birdman of Alcatraz, Mean Machine (Burt Reynolds, not Vinnie Jones), Straight Time – not to mention the almost perfect comedy of Porridge; and there are plenty of incidents to keep this one going. So this looks like a promising subject. But Nicholas Winding Refn, the Danish director, and his writer, Brock Norman Brock, seem to have spotted early on that the promise is deceptive: a conventional drama needs not just isolated incidents, but a sense that the incidents are building to something, some development of character; and Bronson doesn't appear to function that way – in his public statements, he hasn't shown any signs of becoming calmer or wiser, of being reconciled to his lot or learning to see the other fellow's point of view.
So Refn and Brock have set out to make something less conventional than a biography: Bronson is an opera or a fantasy, a series of tableaux couched about with elaborate rhetorical devices – Charlie Bronson himself (Tom Hardy), standing erect and pop-eyed, Victorian strongman's moustache bristling like quills on an averagely fretful porpentine, as he spouts his side of the story to the camera; Charlie in a music-hall entertainer's three-piece suit – sometimes topped off with clown's white-face – turning his life into gags for an auditorium full of appreciative stuffed shirts. Within this framework, chronology is elusive (and hard to reconcile with the published facts of Bronson's life) and very little looks entirely plausible.
The tone is set by a long, wordless, scene in which prison guards enter a cage where a naked Charlie, body smeared with filth, rages and smashes, and they rage and smash back; it is lit in dim, bloody red and The Walker Brothers are played loudly over the mêlée; there is nothing real or even earthly about all this. The prisons where Charlie is confined are decaying Victorian shells, which seems fair enough, except that they go further, are darker, more crowded, with corridors longer and blanker than the real thing, many of their spaces peculiarly theatrical – Charlie attends art classes at the foot of a stately staircase, meets the governor in a grand arcade.
Some of the movement is very theatrical: pouring tea, Charlie pauses, hands outstretched, briefly a living statue. At one point, he is transferred to a mental hospital where he spends his days tranquillised on a chair in the middle of what appears to be a ballroom, while around him other patients go through rituals of play and dance. The artificiality is enhanced by a soundtrack larded with Verdi, Wagner and Brückner (the largeness and depth of the sound stops it feeling, too, like cheap film-making, though a critical glance suggests that's exactly what it was).
All this is in keeping with Bronson's stylised interventions, with his lavish violence and ludicrous demands (at one point, holding a guard hostage, he demands that music be piped in: I wondered if this was a swipe at the scene in The Shawshank Redemption in which Tim Robbins plays Cosi fan tutte over the prison PA).
The acting rises to fit the style: Hardy gives what ought to be a career-making performance, vast, arbitrary, menacing, comical, but hinting that, beneath all these displays of temperament, lie abysses of absolute blankness; and then, when, during his brief spell outside, the girl he's with explains that she can't marry him, she has a boyfriend, he conveys genuine pathos.
The supporting cast are given rather less nuanced, extensive parts, but do well with what they have: Matt King as the fellow con who becomes his fight manager and gives him his nom de guerre, louche, self-assured, wafting far above the sordid mess of jail and seemingly unaware how badly he's dressed and how crappy he looks; and James Lance as a camp art-teacher, slipping unwarily into the trap of speaking as if he knows what makes Charlie tick, which is, in Charlie's book, the unforgivable sin.
This is bold film-making – a very pleasant surprise, given that my only previous acquaintance with Refn was a recent duff episode of Marple. But boldness isn't necessarily enough to hold a film together, and there are passages when it all feels a bit too loose, a bit too fancy, a bit too pleased with itself. It's a problem, too, that prison narratives are so ingrained; the film doesn't want to treat Bronson as an existential hero struggling to retain his identity in a dehumanising system, but it keeps drifting in that direction. It's not a masterpiece by any stretch; but it's original and pacy, and those qualities are rare enough.
What did you think of Bronson? Air your views at independent.co.uk/filmforum we'll print the best of them in the newspaper on Wednesday.

Who's Hot, Who's Not - Hitting April 20
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- We are about 10% of the way through the 2011 baseball season and a few patterns are beginning to emerge.
Troy Tulowitzki, normally a slow starter, is off to a quick start and could be in for a "monster" season.
Ryan Braun, Joey Votto and Matt Kemp are some of the young stars who have already proven they can do it year after year.
Travis Hafner appears to be healthy again and its showing in his production.
Jose Bautista may not hit 54 homers this season, but he is a much improved player from the batter who averaged 14.75 home runs per year from 2006-2009. He should be able to hit 40 home runs this year.
As for who is hot of late, I've selected three "hot" hitters and three "cold" hitters from the Sports Network's Who's WHot, Who's Not pages.
Who's Hot
Adrian Beltre, TEX
- While four Texas Rangers made the "Who's Not" top-10 (more on them later), Beltre has put what's left of the Texas offense on his back. Since AL MVP Josh Hamilton injured himself on April 12th, Beltre is batting .348 with an OPS of 1.043 which is 230 points above his season OPS. It's been Beltre and the Texas pitching staff which has kept the defending American League champions in first place in the West.
Curtis Granderson, NYY
- Granderson is batting just .255, but has already hit five home runs in his first 51 at-bats to give him an OPS of .917. After a slow start, Granderson has come to life, batting .421 with an OPS of 1.421 over his past five games. Joe Girardi has rewarded his hot hitting by moving him into the coveted No.2 hole in front of Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez (when healthy) and Robinson Cano.
Be aware, Granderson has a history of faltering in the August heat, so my advice is to enjoy his play for the next 2-3 months and then trade him before the end of July while he is still at peak fantasy value.
Jed Lowrie, BOS
- Marco Scutaro who? Since getting a chance to play every day, Lowrie has become an "offensive machine." For the season he's batting .457 with an OPS of 1.172, but since becoming an everyday player on April 12th, Lowrie is batting a scotching .579.
Sure, the career .266 will eventually return to earth, but you might just as well ride the wave until it ends. Lowrie is still available for pickup in 50% of all leagues.
Who's Not
Nelson Cruz, TEX
- Rangers hitters are well represented on the "cold" top-10 with Cruz, Ian Kinsler, Julio Borbon and Elvis Andrus all in the midst of a slump. We'll pick on Cruz because he's expected to do the most of the group. After starting the season quickly, Cruz is batting just .205 over the past two weeks with an OPS hovering just below .600. His OPS is .519 since Hamilton's ill-fated dash to home which resulted in a six-to-eight week stint on the disabled list. If the Rangers are to stay near the top of the AL West, Cruz will have to quickly turn it around.
Cruz historically gets off to good starts (career April OPS .886), so this is troubling, but it's not time to trade him. Give him another month before making that decision as May is traditionally a good month as well (career May OPS .858).
David Wright, NYM
- Wright has always been a slow starter, so the fact that he is here on the "cold' list should not scare fantasy owners. For his career, April is his worst month statistically for batting average (.276), slugging percentage (.468) and OPS (.855).
Don't let his current .239 batting average and .700 OPS get you down. Now is not the time to make a "panic trade." Stay the course and you will be better off in the end.
Andrew McCutchen, PIT
- The young and talented McCutchen started the season well, batting .389 over the first week. Unfortunately, since then he is hitting just .163 with and OPS of .550.
You could probably still get third-round value for McCutchen in a trade, particularly in keeper leagues, but why panic after 15-20 games? I still believe he'll finish the season with 20+ HR and 30+ stolen bases while batting around .280 and isn't that why you selected him at No.29 on Draft Day?

One of the fun things that makes time fly is our wonderful succession of holiday celebrations. Yes, it seems like we are just folding the last of the Christmas linens, and Valentine's day is on the horizon. So to help celebrate I am hosting a Valentine's Day natural makeup giveaway–who doesn't want to look especially nice on this special day!
In truth, I haven't done a lot of Valentine's celebrating in recent years. Before we had kids, my husband and I used to go out but once our first was born I hated to get a babysitter. So, we simply revised the tradition and had champagne and lobster at home when she went to bed. But after #2 came along, we threw in the towel. Continue Reading →

Being the market leader in the fastest growing sector of the photographic market is a tough title to hold on to, especially with most major camera manufacturers announcing new entry-level products this year.

Kirkcaldie & Stains has started its shift towards the younger market, but appealing to youth while keeping longtime customers happy will not be easy.
Managing director John Milford said its ladies fashion currently targeted 35-plus, but it wanted younger shoppers in store. He was in Sydney yesterday negotiating terms for exclusive rights to an Australian fashion label and was securing a youthful UK brand not sold anywhere else in Wellington.
The 150-year-old department store's typical customer varied, Milford said. "If you look at the cosmetics area, the profile is from very young to very old and across the economic spectrum."
Kirks is selling make-up and perfume online and has a mobile app in development. It was marketing itself on social media platforms Facebook and Twitter and looking at relaunching regular fashion shows.
Auckland's answer to the department store, Smith & Caughey's, was further ahead in targeting the younger market, stocking Karen Walker.
Kirkcaldie & Stains has been pushing younger brands by product placement. This week, it featured brightly coloured silicon purses from Australian label Charlie Brown at the entrance to its fashion section near Auckland designer Hailwood and Sabatini, a brand also stocked at Smith & Caughey's.
Designer Adrian Hailwood, whose clothing was described at "sexy street style", said Kirkcaldie & Stains was now one of his biggest stockists, taking about 70 per cent of the range. Sales were going well, he said. "They've changed focus. They're putting a lot of younger sort of stuff in there."
Fashion conscious former Miss Universe Lorraine Downes, 48, loved shopping at Kirks. She was supportive of its move to a younger market, believing women liked to go to one place with a selection of local and international labels.
"Shopping is all about an experience and that is why women love to shop in stores like Kirks. The environment feels special and so therefore that makes them feel special."
Wellington fashion designer Ashley Fogel, who recently stopped making his namesake line, had his clothing stocked in the department store for many years. He doubted the younger generation would value the perceived prestige of the Kirks brand.
"I've always said that every woman in Wellington comes in and buys cosmetics with a Kirks charge account but it's getting them up to the first floor. I don't know why they're running around the world buying Australian and British labels because New Zealanders want to buy local labels."
Twenty-something Kiwi fashion writer Isaac Hindin-Miller, who writes regularly for the New York Times and GQ magazine, was dubious about its shifting of its target market. He said department stores were aspirational, but more so to older shoppers. "New Zealand department stores are very expensive, poorly merchandised and overstocked."
Former mayor Kerry Prendergast, who is on the board of the department store, said it would not be able to create the next generation of loyal Kirks customers if it only continued catering to its existing customer base.

We are excited to be developing a new website that we'll launch early in 2015. Stay tuned! Meantime, plug into our Facebook Page to keep up with what's happening at FIELDWORK.
This year's exhibition at FIELDWORK opened in May and includes five new installations by:
Geoff Wonnacott
Marc Walter, Lisa Cresky & Susie Osler
Barbara Cuerden & Karina Kraenzle
Zone Vert
Carey Jernigan & John Haney
FIELDWORK is open to the public daily, all year and free of charge. Just park and walk.
Note: Please remember that it is a natural setting and there are bugs. Be sure to dress accordingly and cover up.
Directions to the project are here
Since its inception in 2008, FIELDWORK has been run by a team of artists (The Collective) that volunteer their time and energy to make FIELDWORK a vibrant and dynamic destination for the creation and experience of site-specific artwork in and around a field in eastern Ontario, close to the towns of Perth and Maberly.
FIELDWORK hosts work by local, national and international artists at various stages of their careers and invites the public to visit the field site to explore the artwork all year long. FIELDWORK also hosts workshops in collaboration with other organizations.
Each year's exhibition opens in May and the site is open for the public to explore, year-round, free of charge.
The Collective looks after the site, co-ordinates and promotes projects, shares administrative duties and makes joint curatorial decisions. From time to time the Collective members also create their own FIELDWORK installations.
The FIELDWORK Collective (Susie Osler, Chris Osler, and Sheila Macdonald) welcomes proposals from interested artists and circulates a public Call for Proposals annually. Suggestions and proposals for events or workshops are also welcomed from the local community, schools and arts organizations that are interested in fostering connections, dialogue and creative action between people, art, and nature. Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
More information on current and past installations can be found by scrolling down this page and/or by looking in the archives in the right hand menu. Be sure to also check out additional photos of the installations - found in the galleries located in the right hand menu.
If you would like to be notified by email when a new posting or change has been added to this blog, press the orangy/red 'syndicate' button (RSS symbol) in the menu to the right and follow the instructions.
Please "Like' our Facebook Page
For information on the first three installations at FIELDWORK (Summer 2008, Autumn 2008, Winter 2008/09) visit our old blog.
FIELDWORK gratefully acknowledges the continued support of the Ontario Arts Council, as well as all of our friends, volunteers, and especially our artists and visitors!
Many thanks to the Ontario Arts Council for supporting FIELDWORK's 6th year of bringing art to YOU from a field in eastern Ontario, and virtually, online! The Council has helped bring our vision to life!

Would Having an Extravagant/Expensive Wedding Deter You From Calling It Quits?
Another celebrity couple has called it quits, and yet again, I have to say I'm not all that surprised. Star Jones, who married Al Reynolds back in 2004, made her wedding more of a celebrity circus than a day to celebrate their love. She had numerous wedding sponsors and she made it very clear that she wanted her wedding to be one of the biggest parties of the year but as we all know, it's more about the marriage than the wedding. So what happens when you have a larger-than-life dream wedding only to have the marriage dissolve? Does it add even more pressure and angst to your decision to separate? Would you feel embarrassed or guilty that you placed so much emphasis on it? Ladies, what I'm asking is, would you have second thoughts about ending your unhappy marriage if you had a big, extravagant, over-the-top wedding?

iOS 5 supports speedy Nitro JavaScript for full-screen Web apps
But as highlighted on Thursday by CNet, the bug present in current version of iOS has been fixed in the first beta of iOS 5 delivered to developers. According to people familiar with the software, the Web.app feature in iOS 5 now has access to the Nitro JavaScript engine.
The fix was revealed by user "Xuzz" at Hacker News, who said that revealing the information was "probably" breaking their non-disclosure agreement with Apple. "Web.app now has the 'dynamic codesigning' entitlement, which enables Nitro," they said.
In a follow-up question, the user was asked about UIWebViews, which do not currently have Nitro benefits. "Xuzz" said that has not been added in iOS 5, but it's a security restriction.
"They can't give dynamic-codesigning to all apps, or their security (which taht disables, as a requirement to enable the JIT) would then be useless," they said.
SunSpider benchmark tests conducted earlier this year found that the Safari browser on the iPhone would run through code in 4.2 seconds. But a full-screen Web application saved to an iOS home screen would take more than twice as long — 10.2 seconds — to complete.
That's because full-screen Web applications, and native applications using UIWebView, use a different engine from Safari — an internal process called WebSheet.app.
iOS 4.3 was released in March with the Nitro engine ported from the desktop, and making JavaScript performance twice as fast as it was in iOS 4.2.

USGS detected two mini-earthquakes in northwest Dallas Friday morning
Several readers have been wondering all day: Was that an earthquake they felt this morning, or merely their Phantom Quake Syndrome acting up? Rest easy, friends. Those were earthquakes.
They were both small, which is why it's taken the U.S. Geological Survey all day to find them. And they weren't in the usual spot. That also didn't help. These, you see, were in Northwest Dallas.
The first one was at 9:16 this morning — a 2.2-magnitude quake located along Stemmons Freeway near Royal Lane. I blame the King Spa. They have all the fun.
The second was even smaller, a mere 1.1-magnitude microquake at 10:01 a.m. near Luna Road. I'd be surprised if anyone over there noticed, what with all the shooting going on at the Elm Fork Shooting Sports rifle range.
That's 45 since April. If you can even count that 1.1. Please.
