Trusted of iWtwr Colltie. la4S Bryn PRICE 10 CENTS Bruchholz Tells Role of Alliance In Student Life Organization Sponsors All War Activities Specially contributed by Dorothy Bruchholz '46 The War Alliance feels the need at this time to clarify its position on campus, and to sum up the year's activities. Progress-has bee.n made involving changes which' we need now to evaluate. Eleven days before Pearl Harbor, the Alliance was set up as a com- mittee to promote undergraduate defense activity. Since that time, with the need of mobilizing the campus to help win the war, its aims and functions have broaden- ed considerably. During 1942-43, it emerged an independent organiza- zation with a new name, "The War Alliance",�and with a constitu- tion stating its purpose of initiat- ing and coordinating all war activ- ity on campus. In carrying out its aim to direct the efforts of the un- dergraduate body (each student is ipso facto a member) it cooper- ates with the faculty, the College Council, and the Undergraduate Council. The members of the War Alliance Board are the chairmen of: The Red Cross Unit, Current Events, War Bonds and Stamps, Volunteer Drives and Publicity. A graduate representative has re- cently been added to the Board in order�to integrate campus effort more completely. W�8 Work Recent reports by the chairmen have shown very substantial achievement during the year. In the first semester more than 100 students worked in activities spon- sored by the Red Cross Unit, through which Bryn Mawr has be- come a vital branch of a large na- Continnti on Ptgt 1 Faculty Presents Graduate Award To J. Burroughs Josephine Lewis Burroughs, As- sistant in Philosophy and Graduate Student, has been chosen by the faculty to receive the)Fanny Bul- lock. Workman Traveling Fellow- ship for the coming year. Miss Burroughs is writing her dissertation on Substance and Sys- tem in the. Philosophy of Leibnitz, derived from a paper she wrote previously on "Some Consequences of Leibnitz's Initial Rationalistic Assumptions." The dissertation is primarily a study of the relations holding between Leibnitz's concepts of metaphysics and his concepts of physics. She plans to use the award, ordinarily a foreign fellow- ship, for further study at the Uni- versity of California. Miss Burroughs received her A. B. degree at Smith College in 1942, and did graduate work at Columbia the following year. She is the Senior Resident of Radnor Hall this year. ----------------- I B. M. Girls Lead Nurses' Chorus At the suggestion of Miss Ro- wan, head . nurse at the Bryn Mawr Hospital, four students have organized a singing group among the student nurses at the hospital. The group, which meets each Monday evening, is doing part singing of many well-known pieces including "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "Mighty Like a Rose," and the "Praye�" from Hansel and C.retel. The program was initiated with the help of Elizabeth Borum, '46, and Mrs. De Varon assisted by di- recting the first meeting. The students have now taken over, with Alison Barbour, '47, Ann Matlack, '47, and Maggie Hilgart- ner, *46, directing, and Mary Ellin Berlin, '48 accompanying. Preview of 'Arms and the Man9 Promises Excellent Performance by Emily Evarts, '47 Rosina Bateson, '47 The process of finding an un- known building on the Haverford campus can lead to some rather difficult moments. Some students who attend Haverford have not yet learned that purely rhetorical ques- tions have a recognized usage on other campuses. For instance, when one downy-faced Freshman was asked where Arms and the Man could be found, his reply was a pointed gesture at his own manly chest. � The misunderstanding was clari- fied by the explanation that Arms and the Man was a play in process of being rehearsed by the Varsity Players and the Cap and Bells Club. Roberts Hall, when discovered, was echoing with gunshots pro- duced by heavy stamping of feet offstage. A thick Russian accent boomed above the din, conveying the information that the lovely heroine had hidden an enemy pro- fessional soldier on hejr balcony. This was not strictly a Romeo and Juliet setting, for the aforemen- tioned balcony was merely a table. The unfinished scenery seemed to cause some " difficulty to the actors. The butler proceeded to dump an armful of fire-wood on the imaginary window seat instead of in the fireplace that wasn't there.. When the hero collapsed heavily onto the sofa, present in the form of three straight backed chairs, he found that he had mis- calculated and his head dangled over the end, producing an effect similar to yogi. The timing of the chocolate cream soldier's prize remark was receiving careful attention. Briefly, instead of bullets he seemed to be- lieve in the milder protection of candy. The heroine rather nastily offered him a stale box of choco- lates, presumably1 the gift of her ideal lover. "Creams?" gloated the hero; pause. The director, seated in theykwenty-third row counted to ten in stentorian tones. The result of this split second timing was an appreciative "mm! Delicious!" from the air-munching hero. In its more serious moments of rehearsal, the play seemed to be handled with able acting talent. Georgie Wiebenson as Luca and Nancy Schwartz as Raina were es- pecially good. Haverford's Cap and Bells showed ability in their varied roles. Given time to materialize, the potentialities of Arms and the Man will undoubtedly be realized. Simmons To Talk About Civilization Of Soviet Russia Final Series of Lectures On Eastern Civilization The third and last of the series of lectures entitled Chinese, Indian and Russian Civilization given by the class of 1897 will be presented by Dr. Ernest J. Simmons. , The lecture series are given in order to acquaint the students and community with the basic phases of the great non-Western civiliza- tions. It is hoped that these series will be just a beginning, and that in the future, further series may be given on the Japanese and Per- sian civilizations. The library has put books on Russian literature, philosophy, history, politics, and humor in the Quita Woodward Room. The subject of this last series is The Spirit of Russian Civilization and Thought; the lectures, to be given in Goodhart at 8:00, are open to the public. The titles of the lec- tures are: April 9: Background: Church and State. April 11: Russian Civilization and the West. April 16: Towards Revolution. April 19: Soviet Russian Litera- ture. April 23: Russia Today: A Changing Civilization. Dr. Ernest J. Simmons is Asso- ciate Professor of the Russian Lan- guage and Literature at Cornell University since 1941. Assistant professor of English at Harvard University from 1937 to 1941, he was also Director of Cornell's 1944 Study in Contemporary Russian Civilization. Dr. Simmons is the author of English Literature and Culture in Russia, Dostoevski: The Making of a Novelist, Pushkin, and Outline of Modern Russian Litera- ture.

Students Teach At Valley Forge Five undergraduates are now engaged lit volunteer work in the Arts and Skills Corps of the Red Cross at Valley Forge, teaching the men leather work and plastics. The Arts and Skills group was or- ganized by Mrs. Chadwick-Collins, who secured Mrs. William Dalzell, '98, to teach the fundamentals to these students. Work at Valley Forge began with the second semester, with each girl working in the wards, since the Army has had to take over the room originally designat- ed for this work to provide space for 600 new beds. The girls are given small carts and travel through the wards to bring the Work to men who would be inter- ested. Rockefeller Leads Halls; Faculty Gives $734.00 To Drive -v A grand total of $3,247.31 was announced as the sum of the amounts collected for the Red Cross War Fund during the recent five-day campus drive. This total contribution, which will go to the Red Cross in the name of Bryn Mawr College, includes the dona- tions of all individual students, facutly, administration and staff. The Freshman Show contribution has not yet been totalled. The student committee, headed by Barbara Taylor '46, collected a total of $2382.31 from individual undergraduates, and wardens and hall-managers. This indicates an average of $4.00 per undergradu- ate, a record which is unusually high when compared with the con- tributions to the Red Cross made through the Activities Drive in past years. Continued on Page 3 Barton, Hoffman, Cross, Binger Nominated for Chapel Chairman The Bryn Mawr League Board ha^s nominated Mary Barton, Elisabeth Hoffman, Mary Cross, and Frances Binger for the position of head of the Chapel Committee.

Germaine Bree of the French department, will return to resume teaching at Bryn Mawr . next fall. Mile. Bree, now serving with the French armed forces, was an Associate Professor of French here for seven years. In a recent letter to Miss Schenck, Mile. Bree wrote the fol- lowing: "Last week the 60th Re- giment dlnfanterie (a regiment formed in 1669) nominated me 'soldat d'honneur de. 1st classe' with the privilege of wearing the 'fourragere' which is a great hon- our. We are reforming it entire- ly with volunteers from the Ma- quis." Since Mile. Bree had taught in North Africa before she originally came to Bryn Mawr, she- was well prepared for her first assignment as a member of the First French Women's Ambulance Corps in North Africa. After transferring to De Gaulle's offices in Algiers, Mile. Bree was then sent as an aide to a general in the field. She is now an inter- preter at the Burgundy headquar- ters.

text: As a mother, there are so many things to think of when you welcome a newborn into your life. Your nursery has to be top notch, and must have all the needed accessories so that you and your little bundle of love feel comfortable and happy. In order to make both mother and child happy, we created a separated Nursery department, where you can shop for furniture, bedding, blankets, comforters, curtains and many, many other nursery items. We know how important comfort is to have in a nursery, which is why all our products are designed with this concept in mind. In case you are looking for special deals, you can head out for our Nursery Closeouts section and find some amazing deals. The other sections in the Nursery department, however, are equally appealing, with a plethora of products to choose from. For instance, you can shop for some brand name bedding, such as Cocalo, Pam Grace, or CottonTale Designs. We are quite certain that you will find plenty of useful items in the Nursery Décor section, as well. In case you are looking for the most comfortable bedding for your infant's crib, this is the best place to shop for some. Lamps and shades are also readily available in various fun shapes and sizes that will add to the cuteness factor of the room, but will also add to the comfort level of your nursery. Furniture can sometimes be difficult to choose, which is why we grouped the items we have for sale, by brand, so you can easily choose the pieces of furniture you believe will complete the look of your nursery. Everything, from mattresses, to cribs, armoires, beds, baskets, and tables, can be found here. All is available at great prices, so your choice is made easier.

5 The Kite RunnerFilligree | 06/12/2007 | See all Filligree's reviews (1)I've not long finished reading this fantastic book! It was recommended to me by a work colleague and it has to be one of, if not the best, book I've ever read. I went through all different emotions while reading and like other readers, felt empty once I had finished the book. Words just fail me and I totally agree with everything that has been said about this book by other reviewers. What a writer!
5 amazingbex1612 | 04/05/2008 | See all bex1612's reviews (1)This heart wrenching tale explores with raw emotion the horrors that the Taliban are causing, it also explores in detail personal conflict between doing what's honorable and cowardly. Overall it's a fantastic read, i highly recommend it.
5 Fantastic read.lilla1 | 03/05/2008 | See all lilla1's reviews (4)I could not put this book down..... you can relate to all the characters in some way because every character has a flaw that makes them real. It shows humanity's weak side and our need for redemption. It is about friendship and family and the fact that, no matter how much time passes, the truth will always come out.This book makes you think; what would you have done?

Words of Wisdom for Interns
Six former Frank and Peggy Steele interns returned to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Friday to serve as the networking seminar panel for the current Steele interns.
Among the panel were Sarah Coffin (Class of 2010), Rayna Linowes (Class of 2011), Craig Nordquist (Class of 2010), Erin Quinn (Class of 2008), Lisa Totaro (Class of 2004) and Andy Zides (Class of 2001).
After giving the current Steele interns a brief biography of how they got to where they are, the panel handed out advice on how to make the step into the professional world.
"We really do want to help you all," said Coffin, who is currently a Photo Archivist for the Boston Red Sox. "We have used these stepping stones to get to where we are and to give back."
Coffin and the rest of the panel addressed questions on how to network in person as well as how to network in the technology age.
Though Coffin is relatively new to the Steele Internship Program fraternity, she stressed the importance of intranetworking throughout the summer in Cooperstown.
"Network with each other," Coffin said. "Talk with other Steele interns. Ask them what they're up to and what they're doing. Keep in touch and use those skills because this is a once in a lifetime opportunity."
Totaro, who is currently a Marketing Associate at the Sunmark Credit Union, also emphasized the importance of taking advantage of all the resources the Hall of Fame has to offer.
"This really is a special opportunity so make sure to enjoy these moments," Totaro said. "Relish this opportunity and take time to step back and appreciate what you've done."
Nordquist worked as a multi-media intern at the Museum in 2010 and is now a Stats Researcher at MLB Network. Nordquist got his current position after impressing the staff at MLB Network when he competed on the network's trivia show, "Baseball IQ."
Nordquist, who also spent time working with the Minnesota Twins, had some words of wisdom for the current Steele interns.
"Always enjoy the present but always be looking toward the future," Nordquist said.
They might be scattered across the country and not necessarily working in baseball, but each former Steele intern shares a common bond that has helped them get to where they are today.
"It was the first time I was ever pushed or exhausted from a job," Coffin said. "That work ethic…you get that from this experience and you keep it."
Applications for the Peggy and Frank Steele Internship Program will be available at baseballhall.org in October 2012.

Honorable Mention
Language is identity. This poster express such idea in a very strong and simple way: a symbol of a fingerprint made from speach ballons. The fingerprint represents the very expression of one's identity; it is - like our language - an inseparable part of ourselves.
Speech ballons are a graphic convention to represent oral speech, meanning, in this case, each one's language as a hole. The ballons are organized in a concentric way, which suggests a spreading movement, like the waves provoked by a rock that is thrown in a pound. Therefore, this symbol also conveys the idea of communication and self-expression.
The simplicity of the symbol make it easy to use in different circunstances, without losing it's expressive force.

Jordan Zimmermann's breakthrough was a key development of the season.
First off, an explanation for the lack of postings on the site over the weekend and why it's probably going to remain this way for the immediate future. As you probably know, my wife and I have been expecting our first child all season. His official due date is Oct. 4, but he is definitely going to be born before that, almost certainly in the next two weeks. (What can I say? The kid just really wants to see Stephen Strasburg with his own eyes!) The good news is, both Mrs. Z and Baby Z are healthy. We're just playing the waiting game now, which of course prevents me from covering the team the way I normally do. Thanks for understanding; can't wait to post the news (and hopefully some photos) once the big day arrives!
OK, back to baseball. The Nationals got swept in Cincinnati over the weekend, three disheartening losses that featured plenty of frustrating moments. They're off today, spending their time in Atlanta before opening a three-game series against the Braves tomorrow night.
What I'd like to do with this off-day posting is pose a couple of questions to all of you: 1) What has been the most significant development of the 2011 season to date? and 2) What remains the most significant development that could play out over the next month?
Let's start with the most significant development to date. To me, there are no shortage of candidates. You've got Jordan Zimmermann's full return from Tommy John surgery and ascension to front-lineRead more »

The point is NOT to just make the playoffs. The point is to win it all. That's what they practice all year, that's why we play games. We're not competing for statistics or to say we make the playoffs x year or didn't make it y year, NO ONE REMEMBERS THAT. All they remember is if you won it all. Or not.
As it stands, we are the only Second Six team left who has not won the Cup. And for me that is unacceptable. It should be unacceptable to the front office and unacceptable to the management and this team. But they play like garbage and they have played like garbage and lulled at the times when they needed to play the hardest. These guys know what they're supposed to do and they do not do it. They won't do it to win a Cup and they don't even try. They laid down and died in front of LA last year. No effort. No nothing except for a Chris Stewart attempt to turn the tide psychologically and that is sad. And now we're seeing more of this display. Unacceptable.
This team will NOT do what it takes to win the Cup. They flat out do not care. And their play shows it. Yeah, we shot down Detroit in Game One, but tell me, you going to count a lame duck in as a skilled adversary for us? Is that where the true level of our bar is held at? Sure looks that way.
How the Blues have not stolen perfect examples of how to build a long term Cup winner/contender when the greatest example of the modern era is in our division (Detroit) is beyond me.
St. Louis has long tolerated the low bar of playoff experiences over real, epic playoff pain of conference and finals losing to learn how to win the Cup. It's much easier to die off in the first or second round than risk that crushing feeling of dying in the Finals and having to learn what it really takes to be champions.
This team does have the potential to be a great team. But in our tradition we seem to get to a certain point of "good enough" and stop.

Spring Has Sprung for Exercise – April 2013 DSMA
You might say I'm excited about exercise these days.
That could very possibly be an understatement.
Not in many years have I had an exercise routine like I am currently embracing, one that I'm actually keeping up with for the most part. Perhaps it's a symptom of the seasonal stars realigning for Spring, or maybe a guilty response to the realization that I'm so totally out of shape — and how the mirror keeps reminding…

Designated history
By Bill Francis
Former big leaguer Ron Blomberg was reunited with an old friend on Tuesday afternoon – a bat that he jokes might have had 50 more hits in it.
But for Blomberg, immortality at the Hall of Fame was well worth the trade.
Blomberg was in Cooperstown working with a film crew from the YES Network on a program involving the history of the designated hitter. Blomberg made history when his New York Yankees visited the Boston Red Sox for the season opener on April 6, 1973 and he became the first designated hitter used in a regular season game. After the game, he donated his bat to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
"People don't realize when we played they gave us (only) two dozen bats right before the season," said Blomberg in an interview soon after arriving. "And that was a bat that I knew was going to have a lot of hits in it. But it's great to give back to the game of baseball."
Blomberg didn't know what to expect when approached by the Yankees before the game about serving as a DH in the game.
"It was a very unusual day because in 1972 I was coming off a pretty good year, and then in 1973 I pulled a hamstring down in spring training," Blomberg said. "Our manager, Ralph Houk, and coaches Dick Howser and Elston Howard asked me on the flight from Fort Lauderdale up to Boston if instead of going out on the field could I, because of the pulled hamstring, be the DH. I said, 'What is it?' I thought it was a glorified pinch hitter to be honest with you. They said just (go) up to bat four or five times, try and knock in a few runs.
"Unfortunately we lost 15-5, but I got to be the first designated hitter."
Highly recruited in both football and basketball, Blomberg was drafted first overall out of his Georgia high school by the Yankees in the 1967 amateur draft. But injuries to his knees and shoulders ravaged what could have been a very successful career in the major leagues.
Looking back on his eight-year big league career, the lefty-swinging first baseman/right fielder/DH has no regrets.
"I got lucky. One AB (at bat) got me into the Hall, one AB got me into every newspaper and magazine in the country," said Blomberg, who does a lot of motivational and corporate speaking these days. "Everywhere I go two things happen – people know who I am because I was the first DH or they think I'm related to (New York City) Mayor Bloomberg.
"The funny part about it is to be able to be the first, and after 38 years people still remember. Fifty percent of the people love it but 50 percent of the people hate it," Blomberg said of the designated hitter.
"It's really been a fun ride, I really enjoy it. I got in the Hall of Fame the back door rather than the front door."

Holvoke Defense Activities, Political Clubs, Reading Periods Discussed Coordination, Effective Singing Mark Performance of Pirates By Nancy Evarts, '43 Goodliart, April 26.�The Glee Ciub this year presented as its an- nual production The Pirates of Penzance. The performance, al- though slow and somewhat lifeless in places, exhibited for the most part melodious singing and co-or- dination on the part of the cast. The choruses sang and acted with a vitality which contributed ma- terially to the integration of the production. The girls' chorus sus- tained throughout a quality of na- turalness and lightness which was especially effective. One of the high points of the second act was the entrance of the policemen who were at the same time impressive and amusing with their uniforms, deep voices and expressively roll- ing eyes. Most of the principals were more successful in their singing than in their acting. This was particularly true of Virginia Sherwood in the role of the Major General. While she sang with proficiency, and while her diction, especially in the pat- ter song, surpassed that of anyone else in the cast, she seemed stiff and perfunctory in saying her lines. Exceptions to the general in- adequacy of the acting were Louise Allen, who played the part of Mabel with a delicacy and poise which matched the seeming effortlessness of her singing, and Margot Dethier, who added a convincing portrayal Dozens of Dragons Donated for British Ten dozen snapdragons, donated weekly by Dr. Leary and her hus- band, Mr. Wells, for the benefit of British War Relief, will be avail- able every Friday morning. Dora Benedict, '44, will sell five dozen between 12 and one o'clock under the tree with the bench just in front of the Library. The other five dozen are being sold by Mary Meigs. They may be ordered in advance and will be delivered on Friday. The. flowers are extremely handsome, long-stemmed, pink and white; they cost $1.25 a dozen and 12 cents apiece. Mr. Wells has offered to donate the flowers, which come from his farm, to the cause of British relief. of Ruth to her excellent singing. Kay Tappen, the small, agitated .ergcant of police, displayed a re- markably deep voice and a talent for comody. The second act, with the virile policemen's chorus, the lively trio of A Mont Ingenious Paradox, and the contrast of the quiet duet by Louise Allen and Carla Adelt, moved more quickly than the first. The first act, however, was par- ticulraly striking from the point of view of color, and the large amount of time and energy spent on the scenery produced eminently suc- cessful results. More attention might have been paid to intelligent emphasis of lines, accurate diction and varied pace, and less to stylized tech- niques such as traditional business used by the D'Oyly Carte Company, for the production was least suc- cessful in mastering .the mechanics of acting. Lines were spoken mo- notonously; sometimes they could not be heard; the actors made few gestures and were slow in picking up their cues. There was some- times a feeling that they were dis- passionately performing stunts. It seems more important that an Continued on Page Six Mr. Hurst Divulges B. M.

M. This will be the third of the series of talks sponsored by the Amer~ ican Defense, Bryn Mawr College Group. Dr. Carpenter has extensive knowledge of Mediterranean coun- tries and peoples. He knows not only their history, but their topog- raphy and contemporary condi- tions, as he has traveled and lived in these countries and is acquainted with their ancient and modern lan- guages. Turkey, one of the crucial areas in the near-Eastern situation, has been studied by Dr. Broughton at first hand.

Holyoke college. Vassar, Smith, Wellesley, Radcliffe and Barnard were also represented. Sweet Briar College was present by invitation. Discussion was di-' vided between questions concern- ( lag outside affiliations and respon-j sibility and those pertaining to, campus activities. Defense activities on the various campuses include special courses in | First Aid, Diatetics, and Recrea-' tional Leadership. Barnard has an active motor unit. Red Cross Work Rooms figure largely in student de-i fense work. Means of raising funds vary from the "cause" dinners at Mt. Holyoke to the British War Relief Players and War Relief Ball rponsored at Barnard. The recent Emergency Drive at Vassar netted,1 $13,000. Though the importance of defense work was recognized, the point was made that it should not be carried on at the expense of academic work. Interest in the Forum as a central body embracing political clubs and organizations such as the A. S. U. and Peace Council was generally expressed. Vassar's Po- Contitiuetl on T"ane Five Miss Park Announces Awards at Assembly On May Day Good hart Hall, May 1. � Miss Park announced the awarding of the annual scholarships at the May Day Assembly. The Charles S. Hinchman Memorial Scholarship, given each year to the student who shows the greatest ability in her major subject, was divided between Eleanor Harz, of New. York, a Latin major, and Ellen Stone, of San Francisco, who is majoring in philosophy. Eleanor Harz won the Maria L. Eastman Brooke Hall Memorial Scholarship, which is given to a member of the junior class with the highest average; and also the Anna M. Powers Memorial Scholarship. Miss Harz was prepared by the Packer Collegiate Institute, Brook- lyn. The Shcelah Kilroy Memorial Scholarship in English, awarded for Second Year and Advanced English, went to Anne Ellicott, of Baltimore. Miss Ellicott was pre- pared by the Bryn Mawr School, Baltimore, and was the Bryn Mawr School Scholar, 1938-39. The award for the Required English Composition Course was divided between Therese Exton and Beth Garrison. Margaret Copcland, of Philadel- phia, was given the Elizabeth S. Shippen Scholarship in Science, awarded for excellence in a sci- ence; and Edna Sculley, of Clifton, N. J., won the Elizabeth S. Ship- pen Scholarship in Foreign Lan- guages, awarded for excellence of work in a foreign language. The Elizabeth Duane Gillespie Scholarship in American History went to Nancy Paine Norton, of Naugatuck, Conn. Miss Norton was prepared by the Naugatuck High School and the Walnut Hill School, Natick, Mass. She was one of the Sheelah Kilroy Memor- ial Scholars for 1939-40. Other students considered for the Charles S. Hinchman Memorial Continued on Page Six Last Straw Aims at Puns That Don't Pall; Couple Win Success With Amateur Coking By Anne Denny, '43 "The Last Straw" is that eating place where Bryn Mawr girls are found only at ten minutes to two, breaking the management's neck with a two o'clock deadline. This straw is of the variety to which a drowning man clings, and the suc- cess story of the place bears on the literal meaning of the name. Hammering nails into an old building which nearly fell apart at every stroke, the McKinneys be- gan their venture into "amateur coking." Finishing the inside themselves, curtains and all, the man and his poetic wife then set to sprinkling their menu with fresh hamburger and peppering it with1] a quick wit. The menu promises anything from "A Plebian-hot dog to you," through "A Whopper-you guess," to "Jokes You've All Heard �But We Never Have Before." As the Press sat down for three cokes, the management let us in on the inside-of-the-kitchen story: No meat over 24 hours old, all guar- anteed pure cow, salubrious amounts of rich butter, and (we ourselves peeked in) cleanest of surroundings. Begun last year, the little establishment had to ex- pand after a few months, in spite of the closing of the Lancaster Pike. So the couple's last hope was rewarded by its mainstays, Hav- erford and Rosemont, by its loyal supporters the main line younger crowd, and by a scattering of Bryn Mawr. Haverford provides the waiters and the printing of the menu (de- signed entirely by the McKinneys), as well as a large appetite. "Everything's on the honor system for Haverford," says the manage- ment. "Our cash register's open toythem, and never a loss yet." Tile lack of beer is an intentional $lbsed door to Villanova. The milk- . shake and jitterbug atmosphere is discouraged by the owners, but a juke box tickles your ears and the younger crowd is not to be stopped. "Everything is aimed to please": the small fry are provided with balloons (the large fry take more) and patrons are requested not to beef about the steak because "you will be old and tough yourself some day." Chiefly blessed with that quiet atmosphere that comes from eating with "appetiteful" purpose in quiet corner booths, the "Straw" tries to provide that last straw to you* evening and puns which don't pall even at ten minutes to two. /

Building the System-in-Package Design Infrastructure
December 2006
Advanced Design, Partitioning and Test for System-in-Package Electronics (ADEPT-SiP)
The new System-in-Package (SiP) paradigm in electronics product implementation allows the mixing of optimum active and passive device technologies in bare die format within a single package outline for cost effective, high performance, short time-to-market functionality well matched to a wide range of low, medium and high volume electronics product applications. The novel addition of embedded passive component technology within such SiP modules also promises further performance, size, weight and cost benefits.
The SiP approach allows board level functionality to be realised at the package level for smaller, lighter and higher functionality products. However a major obstacle to the successful introduction of this new technology is the lack of a robust design methodology supported by rigorous simulation tools, accurate component and technology models. The ADEPT-SiP project, that is funded through the DTI Technology Programme under the Design, Simulation and Modelling Technology priority area, is directed at eliminating this obstacle.
The 30-month ADEPT-SiP project started in May 2006 and will develop and demonstrate a rigorous, right-first-time design and supply chain management methodology for novel System-in-Package Electronics Product Functions. It will address schematic capture, partitioning and active device, substrate and package design to meet specific performance, cost, size and weight targets. Other key design stages will include thermal and EMC design, and design-for-manufacture, for test, reliability and for environmental impact. Novel, high density embedded passive substrate technologies will be designed and simulated, process characterisation undertaken and component models developed for the full range of passive components and interconnection and assembly structures. The core design, simulation and modelling activities will then be proven in SiP technology demonstrators.
The ADEPT-SiP project partners include Filtronic Broadband and Zarlink Semiconductors' Advanced Packaging Division based in Caldicot as SiP product end-users, Leeds University as modelling provider, Zuken, QuantumCAD and Flomerics as design providers, and Wurth Elektronik and TWI as technology providers. Further information on the ADEPT-SiP project may be obtained from the project web site, www.adept-sip.com.

2012 Black Cat AwardsRe: 2012 Black Cat Awards+1 = 23
The rear went flat just as I arrived at the gym, so I went to fix it after the class, only to find that I had forgotten my tubes patches and spanner. So I decided to ride the 5k home, along the footpath. The tube was damaged near the valve stem, but I couldn't be 100% sure that was the root cause, as I had ridden 5k on it. As a precaution I added 2 layers of electrical insulation tape across the valve hole and punched thru it. A helmet saved my life
Re: 2012 Black Cat Awards
Ha! Ha! Back in the lead. I ride, therefore I am.
...real cyclists don't have squeaky chains...
Re: 2012 Black Cat Awards+1 I was in a breakaway with three other riders in a race when i almost came off after puncturing the tyre coming a corner. I was spewing... Total of 15 now.
Re: 2012 Black Cat AwardsJust about to go home a few days ago and the rear is softer than plod on dooring drivers
No sign of damage to the tyre at the puncture site but a fair amount of crap came out of the preexisting cuts. That's FIVE. ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: 2012 Black Cat Awards+1 to make it 3 for the year. Rear tyre went flat in the garage over night, so quite convenient.
Found a small shard of clear glass (< 0.5mm) embedded in the tyre. Unusual for around here - streets are mostly littered with green V bottles. Tyre was a Maxxis Detonator that came with the Cell Triumph. Had done 1740 km on it (first puncture). This is in the ballpark most other tyres have given me, except for Conti GP4000s which give me about double that life between punctures. WombatK

Re: 2012 Black Cat Awardspuncture this morning, that's 2, one slow leak and 1 complete tyre shredded
Re: 2012 Black Cat AwardsAnd +1, 23. "Tag" to you, mike.
The fairy be a right bitch, the poor old rear tyre is only about a month old and it's cut to shreds already. Most haven't made their way through, but with damp conditions this morning something did. I'll have to pull it off and clean the accumulated glass out. Looks like it needs a few patches on it as well. Got to say, these Race D's crap all over the previous tyre for puncture resistance. I ride, therefore I am.

Re: 2012 Black Cat AwardsUpdate the totals, wanna see if its down to a 2 horse race
A helmet saved my life
Re: 2012 Black Cat AwardsMy count this year is 4, after managing to achieve a puncture free year last year. Let's hope I don't get anymore.
Weekdays: "Bliss" (Trek Madone 5.2 2012) | Weekends: "Cadel" (self built) | Casual: "Kitty" (Giant Cypress LDS 2009)
Re: 2012 Black Cat Awards
My count is the same as yours. Unfortunately, 3 of them came in the one weekend courtesy of some sharp edges inside a wheel rim. Those were smoothed out and no further issues occurred. I hardly ever get any punctures normally.

Re: 2012 Black Cat Awards+1, 24.
Piece of glass stuck in the rear, it was only small but just managed to nick the tube. Second flat for this tyre, but it's almost at end of life - I'm only getting six weeks/2000km out of a rear. Lots of glass on the roads at the moment, must be beer season again. Mike - if we keep this up, when I'm in Sydney next... we will have to catch up and toss a coin and the loser can buy coffee. I ride, therefore I am.

Re: 2012 Black Cat Awards
what tyres are u using to get 2000km's out of them ? my last tyre only lasted 1150
Re: 2012 Black Cat Awards
Panaracer Race Type D. Which is the replacement for the Panaracer Extreme Duro. Sept/Oct was spent on Panaracer Evo 3's, which I had hoped might have been acceptable... but I had something like 9 punctures in two months. I'm still using an Evo on the front of the commuter, but I'll stick to the Type D on the back. The only downside of the Panaracers is that the rubber peels off the carcass when they get really thin. The upside is that they are damned cheap! The Type D is easily better than the Conti 4Seasons, they were $50 each from the U.K. and RRP in Aus of $129. I ride, therefore I am.
...real cyclists don't have squeaky chains...
Re: 2012 Black Cat AwardsAAAAAAAAAArrrrggggghhhh!
That was the screaming noise I made this morning while trying to make a right hand turn at speed down a side street, where cars were waiting for me, when the rear bottomed out and went a bit sideways. O.K., not really (scream, that is), but it certainly gave me a scare. +1, 25. Beer bottle, I must have picked it up from the same place as yesterday, which means it's probably with all the little bits of broken tiles about 2km from my house. Then, when I pumped it up, the bead popped off the rim and I was within seconds of popping my last tube! I picked up some decent patches yesterday (weldtite cure-c-cure "feather edge" are THE patches!), so I patched three tubes while waiting for a job to complete this morning. I ride, therefore I am.

Re: 2012 Black Cat Awards
Hasn't out coffee budget been blown on tubes?
What happened to the days when bogans drank out of cans? A helmet saved my life
Re: 2012 Black Cat AwardsGood point - back in the old days it was long-necks and cans, but stubbies are cheap and popular. Soooo much glass at the moment.

Lugano Dining Table
Bought 11 years ago and still looks fantastic!
I don't usually do reviews but after looking at World Market items online I noticed that they still carry this table. It was at that point I realized that I bought the Lugano Dining Table over 11 years ago and it still looks as good now as it did when we first brought it home. I might also add that we are not easy on furniture. It came with us when we moved from the west coast to the east coast. It has been subjected to our animals and children. The table has seen a lot of homework and school projects, birthday parties, and holiday meals and yet still garners compliments. This has been a wonderful table!
January 10, 2014
Large table great for a big family dinner
This table has been comfortable to sit at over the holidays. I got many comments on how nice it looked. Large surface area with plenty of room for family meals. Sturdy, nice finish and a good value.
January 2, 2014
Attractive table - great price
After an extensive search for just the right dining table, we selected the Lugano table (paired with a Lugano bench and four dark distressed Jackson metal chairs). We purchased it during a sale on dining furniture but would have been pleased even if paying full price as it so reasonably priced compared to similar tables elsewhere. My husband was able to assemble the table and bench in a relatively short time with no major issues.
October 19, 2013
We Love our Lugano Dining Table!
I took a chance and purchased this table online and I'm so happy I did! My husband put it together easily and we were so impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. It's heavier and richer than we expected. Great style, craftsmanship, price and the matching padded chairs are super comfortable. I highly recommend!
September 26, 2013
This table is beautiful & it accommodates 6 Greyson chairs perfectly. Love this!
June 27, 2013
Think ancient castle, huge fireplace, over-stuffed wing chairs, butler staff, and a quiet supper, on a 500-year-old table just like this one.
My wife purchased the coffee table and two end tables from this Lugano collection in 2003 while I was away. She assembled them herself, and even though assembly is certainly not her strong suit, she said they went together so simply, it was a joy to do. She cares for the tables with only a bit of spray wax and a wipe, and today, they have such a lustre! It is a table as you might find in a castle's private quarters after being polished daily for a thousand years. The construction design is simple and neat. The sort you may call "Mission" or maybe more appropriately, "French Provincial". The glistening wood piece you catch the window's reflection upon is the very same piece of tree to which the stout legs are secured to on the underside. These tables have endured the raising of our little boy, and the hundreds of subsequent 'imperfections' now simply fit in perfectly with the table. This table is clearly even more beautiful after ten years of daily use. Any gouge or dent, is in thick, robust, solid wood, and so, may be wiped with a bit of an oil stain and disappear amongst the rich colour and history you immediately feel when you look at this beautiful piece of our lives.
December 29, 2012
Beautiful & Timeless
We just purchased the Lugano table and bench, and 4 Jackson chairs. The table and bench were very easy to put together and very solid. I have read every review on here and I will comment that it is important that you test out the table you intend to purchase prior to purchasing. I am aware that the wood is soft and smooth and that is what I like about it. If I want the table to stay nice with my children using it, I must use placemats, coasters, etc. I don't have experience with writing going through the table, but it seems very likely that that could happen, so I will take extra caution. If you want a table that you can have your children beat up without it being obvious, then there are a few other options at WM that are already "distressed" for you.
What I like most about this table is that it looks great with every chair at World Market. So if I get sick of the current look, I can get different chairs to change it up a bit.
November 13, 2012
Well built and sturdy
This table is amazing! It's solid, sturdy, and has a great finish.

Europe Marilynn Weaver , April 21, 2014 "All of our guides were beyond fabulous! Our time in Dublin was much too short, would have loved to stay there at least one more full day.

The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy. We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip."

This tin of tea is just the best thing ever! Not only is it a super cute tin, it's also a coin bank and it's filled with delicious English Breakfast tea! It's such a good deal at its price, I'm still reeling. I ordered three and gave one to a friend and kept two for decoration after I use up the tea!

Tea Tin/Bank
I love tea and English-looking things, so I was very excited to buy this tin! When I got it, it was very cute, but the plastic top with the sticker on it would not come off. It took me about half an hour of prying to get it off (- 1 star). It has a slit on top so you can put your change in to use it as a bank when you drink all the tea.
Also, the other sides show a woman with a child, and I'm very sensitive to sexism ( - 1 star). I didn't recommend it for this reason. If they had thrown a man on there, except the cop on the front, it would have been great. (I took photos but they didn't turn out well) :(
There's a very good amount of tea in here, it fills up the entire tin and it comes in an airtight packet so it's fresh. Also, it's good black tea so the tin is a great deal. It didn't cost much more than a regular box of tea at the grocery.
