Caking Sentence Examples
- For efficiency the operation must be conducted with small quantities; caking may be prevented by mixing the substance with sand or powdered pumice, or, better, with iron filings, which also renders the decomposition more regular by increasing the conductivity of the mass.
- The property of caking or yielding a coherent coke is usually absent, and the ash is often very high.
- Very important distinctions-those of caking or non-caking-are founded on the behaviour of coals when subjected to the process of coking.
- The caking property is best developed in coals low in oxygen with 25 to 30% of volatile matters.
- As a matter of experience, it is found that caking coals lose that property when exposed to the action of the air for a lengthened period, or by heating to about 300° C., and that the dust or slack of non-caking coal may, in some instances, be converted into a coherent coke by exposing it suddenly to a very high temperature, or compressing it strongly before charging it into the oven.
- An anthracite occurring in connexion with the old volcanic rocks of Arthur's Seat,Edinburgh, which contains a large amount of sulphur in proportion to the Caking coals.
- This arrangement has the effect that the salts, as they separate out, slide down the sloping part and arrive in the central channel, which is not exposed to the fire-gases, so that they quietly settle there, without caking to the pan, until they are fished out by means of perforated ladles.

"What are the benefits of a powered mixer?"
For the busy performing musician & club operator, a high-quality powered mixer with the right features and professional performance is a great choice for several reasons. Below are what many people consider the top three.
1. All-in-one Integration: In one convenient unit you have a mixer to combine and balance your microphone and instrument sources, effects to add ambiance to your sound, and power amplification to drive house speakers and in some models even monitor speakers as well.
2. Simple Setup and Operation: Setting up a system with separate mixer, effect units, and power amplifier means lots of cables and the need for careful level matching between components if you want optimum performance. All of this takes time and adds up to extra work – not to mention the potential for misplaced or faulty cables and a plethora of other "technical problems".
3. Portability: Pick it up, carry it to where you're going to use it, and put it down. Compare that to transporting, connecting, and adjusting at least three separate units.

A motley crew of Toastmasters and guests gathered in the round to enjoy an evening of Table topics tips and demonstrations, followed by Tantalising Tall Tales.
Louise led a topics interactive workshop and showcased types of topics and how to adapt to the very terrified. Explanations of the styles were given between speakers, and audience participation was encouraged to add to the event. All of the speakers had no other roles on the night, which shows the importance of arriving early and being prepared for the event.
First up was Garth with his explanation behind him becoming a successful author
Second was Anna who explained why she kept a dragon in her house
Third was Harsheed who is a secret government agent ,with a job of putting us off travelling on Bank Holidays
Delphine did an animated demonstration about a police hat .
Cecile ,a guest, talked of her passions in life.
The most outstanding performance was that of Veselina , who spoke for the very first time, about her love of surfing ,including picture words, triads and great body language. She was a clear winner.
Tall tales included green fingered graham…..fake
Carmel's dodgy lodger…true
Louise's x rated canal hijack….false
Jims regaled a previous story of a farmer and his 3 daughters, which gave him 3rd place. It was no more true than the first time we heard it!
Tim sold us the invention of the gnome away product to ensure your garden is gnome free….totally fake, but hilarious, and 2nd place
Mick won with a story of how he was thrown out of church! Complete with demo at the end.
Maggie held the entire event together, and Steve and Seema kept time.
Those of you who did not come missed a fabulous evening. Photos will go on the facebook page shortly.
Our next meeting is on the 6th June.
We are looking to fill many roles,so please sign up now.
We have one evaluator so far,and four speakers.Please sign up as a matter of urgency as we have just a week to go.
North Bucks Speakers are hosting a Tall Tales event on Thursday May 30th. As well as the Tall Tales contest, there will also be a Table Topics workshop. This evening is open to all. Refreshments will be provided, but do please bring drinks or any other nibbles to share.
Our May Day meeting was led by Steve,who threw in some facts about the day. Uthpala was a time keeper for the first time.
Harsheed was welcomed back with a joke delivery, as well as the 'ah' counter role.
Maggie volunteered to make any assessments for the leadership manual,and Carmel reminded us she had a leaflet to explain the leadership track.
Tim's table topics were about having to report on an event.
Roger regaled stories of exploding foods. Steve stunned with a butterfly plague. Carmel commandeered camels into Baghdad. Sue sparkled with fire at a fireworks factory. Sue won best topics, and Lynda evaluated.
Jennifer was on speech 8 where she talked about 'Death by Powerpoint' It was a contrast of not only how Powerpoint 'kills speech, kills the speaker and the audience feel they are dying too' ,but also how the space shuttle's faults were missed due to Powerpoint reports.The end was stunning and thought provoking. Maggie evaluated Jennifer.
Carmel evaluated Delphine who talked about environmental issues and clothing. Fun facts and super sketches illustrated the benefits of going organic. Delphine won best humour.
Tim introduced Micks advanced speech about Bobby Moore, which was a passionate journey through Micks past. The secret to a great speech is to add incredible passion to draw the audience in. In Mick's case, this was real passion,and appealed to the whole audience. Tim's evaluation won best evaluator.
Louise introduced one of our newer members,Garth,who is on his 3rd speech. His speech was entitled 'Raw Revelation' and took the audience on an emotional journey through adversity and hope, darkness and light, ending with a personal poem. Louise's evaluation reflected the sensitive nature of this speech.
Mick and Garth won the best speech prize together, though Mick gallantly gave the trophy to Garth.
Jim was general evaluator and reminded those who use Powerpoint to use the correct button to black out screens. He awarded the General Evaluator's Award to Uthpala for her first timekeeper experience.
Louise, as grammarian with word of the day 'discombobulated', praised word pictures,alliteration and triads in some of the speeches.
We had 2 guests,Suzanne who was met and welcomed in the car park,and Gareth. Both enthused about the warm welcome and agreed to return.
We have an extra meeting in May, a 'Tall tales' evening on the 30th. We have the large room and plan to showcase what Toastmasters does for people. It will include a buffet and table topics demonstration. Flyer to follow
Maggie is chairing this event as part of her leadership program. Louise agreed to be interviewed by MK business about speaking secrets.
Lynda is now officially Area Governor Elect from next year,and Sue talked about her journey through the last year. Lynda is requesting more committee involvement and our elections will be held at the next meeting. Please contact Lynda direct.
On a personal note,I felt this was an exemplary meeting. Having been with the club since it chartered in 2005,I was amazed to see how members have developed since joining us. There is a warm welcome at our club,and we have been described as 'family' by some….a true accolade.
Next Meeting : Thursday 16th May. 19:15 for 19:30 start at Willen.
Jim led the meeting with a theme of paraprosdokian, which means a tale with a twist. Jim's wicked sense of humour set the theme for the evening, along with Foundation as word of the day from Steve. Frank was multitasking with a timely joke, timekeeper and speech.
Garth led his first topics with a mix of themes,which tested imagination. Louise led with a story of life as a dolphin, convincing enough to be offered a fish! Delphine followed with a Ted talk,though admitted she wanted to be a dolphin instead. Noor,a returning guest told us about why speaking was important to him. Caroline explained speaking was important in her job and urged support for Age uk. She won the trophy.
Maggie's evaluation and advice was along the lines of good story telling.
Chris returned from University to explain about deviance in sport. The best grammar was 'avoiding detection deepens the deviance' after talking about the amount of drug use in sport. Linda evaluated and gave clear advice on improving the future presentation with powerpoint alterations.
Frank's 3rd speech was about looking after neighbourhoods, with general safety advice. Louise praised his improvement and gave extra advice about moving away from notes.
Margaret's 9th speech rallied us to tax the rich….less! Margaret showed how her journey has taken her from timid to tiger by following the manual! Mick evaluated with a very lively demo of Mick Jagger, winning him best evaluator and humour.
Femi's smooth talker award went to Jim. Tim was general evaluator, praising people appropriately, and made a few added recommendations. He added if there was nothing to add as an improvement, evaluators could explain that the speech or topic was exemplary. We had feedback from those who attended the competition, and a reminder about our forthcoming meeting where the new committee will be discussed. Please remember, we want you on the committee to be part of the bigger team, and move towards your leadership goal. More information on this is on the Facebook page.
Our 4 guests gave good feedback, and one has already joined us, welcome to Veselina.
Next Meeting : 2nd May. Sign up for roles on d71.org.
The clocks may have sprung forward, but there was still a winter chill in the air for another Thursday meeting at Willen.
Joined by first-time guest AJ, and returning guest Seema, everybody settled down for another evening of fantastic speaking, presided over with warmth and humour by Mick as TME for the evening.
For table topics, Jim asked our contestants to speak on the subject of various motivational phrases.
Carmel was challenged to talk about the last time she did something for the first time and regaled us with her hunt for a lodger. Louise, returning after some time away (Welcome back!) was asked to talk about the last time she failed at something and told of her failed attempt at DIY, complete with a pink hammer, and a builder in pink underpants. Margaret told us about her house full of marmalade, ready for the rest of the year and AJ, stepping up to the plate, suggested that we should not put off until tomorrow what we can do today. Another returnee, Chris, did an excellent first-time job as Topics Evaluator, and AJ was a well deserved winner.
On to the prepared speeches.
From the CC Manual, Steve delivered Speech 9 attempting to persuade everybody that comicbooks are not just for kids, accompanied by a visual presentation. Margaret, evaluating, praised the research and the depth of knowledge, but observed that maybe, emotion is not Steves strongest point.
Tim delivered Speech 1 from the Professional Speaker Advanced Manual, the Keynote Address. He delivered a motivational speech about turning negatives into positives, which was appreciated by all. Carmel evaluated, praised Tims motivational skills, but observed that he could have had a punchier opening.
Maggie delivered Speech 4 from the Storytelling manual,
the Emotional story. Her story, Bagatelle, told the story of two childhood sweethearts, forced apart by World War II, and their snatched moments of joy as their life proceeded. This was an emotional tour de force which Tim evaluated with skill, making particular example of the way in which Maggie noted the passing of time, and her vivid descriptions.
Finally, Garth delivered his second speech from the CC manual, the structured speech, about some great pieces of art, and how we could understand them better if we tried to understand how the artist felt at the time of creation. Jim, evaluating, praised Garths strong points, his delivery and his warm smile, and offered one word of advice, practice.
As Grammarian, Margaret introduced us to the word of the day, lugubrious, whilst Seema did a fine job as Timekeeper. Mick led the meeting in a group General Evaluation before Tim presented the award for Best Speaker to Maggie, for Best Evaluator to Margaret, and for Best Humour to Carmel.
Next Meeting : 18th April
The threat of incoming snow didn't deter the crew of North Bucks Speakers as, accompanied by a plethora of guests, we bunkered down at The Well for our second meeting of the New Year.
As Topics Master, Tim presided over a good introductory session, managing to draw in speeches from 3 of our guests, asking everybody about a time when they tried something new.
Margaret talked about the time she tried scuba diving.
Garth, a first-time guest, talked about how emptying his head helped him to get further in his fitness regime.
Maryon, another first-time guest, also had a story about scuba diving, whilst Seema, a returning guest, talked about her experiences with Amateur Dramatics. Jim evaluated, and the award for Best Topics was won by Garth.
The prepared speeches saw an array of speeches from across the manuals. Maggie was presenting a speech from the 'Speaking To Inform' manual about the art of Appalachian Clog Dancing. Accompanied by Tim on guitar, she explained the roots of this form of dance, before a bravura demonstration. Mick evaluated, and praised the clarity of the explanation and the quality of the demonstration.
Next up was Michael, with Speech 4 from the Competent Communication manual. Following on from New Year's Resolutions, Michael's speech 'My Perspectives on Health and Fitness' touched on many areas of health, but was particularly potent with regard to setting achievable goals. Femi's evaluation was, as always, precise and valuable, and he noted Michael's clear message.
Paul presented his Icebreaker speech, describing a turning point in his life and how it affected him. This was a touching first speech, full of grammatical flair. Delphine, making a welcome return to evaluation praised the depth it gave us to Paul, and offered tips on moving away from notes.
Finally, Frank gave us his Icebreaker, explaining how a speech about him, couldn't really tell us about the real him, and with his usual understated humour, he talked about self identity and how difficult it is to convey 'what makes me me'. John's first evaluation picked up on the humour and the quality of the speech.
As Grammarian, Jaimen, a guest from Bedford Speakers, praised the quality of the grammar, Margaret identified a flaw with the Smooth Talker Award before presenting the prize to Maryon for her Table Topics. As General Evaluator, Carmel just about covered everything with her usual good grace and humour.
The best Speaker award went to Michael. John won Best Evaluator. Steve, as Toastmaster for the evening won Best Humour, and the meeting only overran by about ten minutes.
The meeting was attended by 15 members, and 7 guests, 3 of whom have now signed up, or are in the process of doing so.
Next meeting : The Excellent Evalauations Workshop, on the 31st January. All welcome.
North Bucks Speakers are delighted to host an Evaluation Workshop lead by Freddie Daniells DTM. on Thursday 31st January 2013.
Arrive at 7.15 for starting at 7.30pm at the Well at Willen.
This will be an interactive workshop examining the processes of evaluations and demonstrating how to master the techniques of effective evaluations to increase benefits to speakers and evaluators alike and thereby overall club development. For further details, please see the attached flyer : Exceptional Evaluations
Please come along to benefit from this opportunity to learn volumes from a successful and experienced, Distinguished Toastmaster and our current District Governor Freddie Daniells Entry is free and refreshments will be provided and why not bring a friend along who may be interested.
Jennifer finally showed us all what we were missing in or lives with the Rubiks Cube Keyring… how did we ever manage without one!
Firstly Carmel won the Best Evaluator Award for her most excellent Table Topics Evaluation reminding that a summary is always helpful when casting votes at the end of the Topics session.Steve gave us a succinct appraisal of Jennifer dream speech and added a personal touch with his empathy to the IT analogy of how the brain records, replays and erases. We always relish evaluations so remember to step forward with a big buoyant smile.
Frank, after being taken aback by the complexity of the role of evaluator made an excellent paced evaluation of Margaret's speech demonstrating careful listening and analysis of the structure and content and the speakers accomplishment of the manual requirements well done earning him the GE award for an excellent first evaluation.
Rich finally gave us his ebuillient evaluation of Micks speech pointing out the richness of the storytelling and struggled to give tips other than using those powerful pauses.
NBS Tall Tales 4th February at the Slug and Lettuce – Maggie has offered to host this.
NBS Speech and Evaluation Contest 21st Feb
'I want to show you gezellig' This was Louise's introduction to Amsterdam in the winter.It's a word that has no English equivalent,but means cozy ,quaint or general time spent with loved ones. This advent meeting,recreated gezellig with scented candles,fairy lights and a cosy 14 people. Louise was the TM of the meeting,complete with flashing santa hat.
Facts about the Christmas traditions were relayed,including the 12 days of Christmas mince pie fest…..one each day of Xmas! In the absense of our President and VPE, multitasking was in order, yet we managed to get everyone involved. Antonia kept us on time, Hina was the grammarian and Femi, the um counter. Jim opened with a seasonal joke. Louise took on the VPE role, reminding us that the website is designed to sign up for roles, confirm attendance and also to send notice in advance of non attendance. The other benefit is being able to see the speech and leadership progress. Jim has put the Panto meeting on the site, so please confirm your attendance too.
Paul took on topics with an advent calendar theme,and slickly took us through the pictures. Micks train picture led to a hilarious tale of bribing guards to get on a train he missed anyway. Tony,returning as a guest told us about space stations . Hina decided her picture was luxury train travel, despite being a jail picture, which caused much merriment. Jim told an old tale of the fairy and how she ended up on top of the tree. He won best topics. Femi was persuaded to evaluate at short notice, and his evaluation was as superb as his speech last week, winning best evaluator.
Johns icebreaker was simply stunning,with a star in the making….humour, quotes and no notes added to it. He won best humour and best speech. Dan, guesting from Cranfield, gave a clear evaluation and applauded Johns efforts. Maggie had us making curious cat compositions as she told the story of the grey cat. Jim gave a textbook evaluation. Steve took us on a Springsteen spectacular on his vocal variety topic, which Tyronne evaluated, praising the content. Our new guest, Rich was so impressed with the meeting, he agreed to join and come to the Panto. He's been a TM in Mexico prior to this.
Jennifer was first time GE, always a difficult role, as there is so much to cover. Jennifer enjoyed the set up and the ambiance of the soft lighting and candles. Jim took on presidential duties. Next meeting – 20th December, NBS Panto.
Come to North Bucks Speakers on the 20th December, for our most excellent Christmas pantomime, Jack & The Beanstalk. There's no script, there's no cast – it all gets made up on the evening.
With buffet food, a Secret Santa and all the merry mirth you might merit, why would you be anywhere else? For more details, click the attached flyer :

When the ship, La Amistad, is seized, these captives are brought to the United States where they are charged with murder and await their fate in prison. An enthralling battle ensues that captures the attention of the entire nation, confronting the very foundation of the American justice system. But for the men and women on trial, it is simply a fight for the basic right of all mankind ... freedom.

averybiprince asked:
Emily I can't believe I haven't asked you this yet. What are your favorite episodes of 30 rock?
this might be one of the hardest questions I've ever had to answer but here we go. This is probably in somewhat order of preference. Oh and I'm probably forgetting something really important but whatever
- Operation Righteous Cowboy Lightning: this was the first episode I ever saw because it was on right before The Office or Community and we just happened to have NBC on. Honestly I could watch this episode 100 times and never get sick of it. The tag is something I think about every day.
- Hogcock/Last Lunch: the most satisfying series finale of all time. I don't know if I could say anything more without bursting into tears. Also Jeff Richmond deserved like 300 Emmys and 600 Grammys for the song "The Rural Juror"
- Queen of Jordan/ Queen of Jordan 2: The Mystery of the Phantom Pooper: I have to count these episodes together. The whole concept of this episode is pure genius. Not much more I can say. This is the episode I'd show everyone first if it made any sense out of context.
- Black Tie: I know a lot of people were sold on the show with Tracy Does Conan but, when I finally sat down to watch it on Netflix back in 2011, this episode was the one that really hooked me. It's so wild but so, so good.
- Live from Studio 6H: this is the live show I actually got to watch live (both coasts thanks to a friend with skype) and it's honestly a feat in live television. Also the cameos are pretty outstanding.
- MILF Island: this is one of those episodes where I get excited just thinking about it. The whole thing is amazing, especially how they match it up with MILF Island. I also use the phrase "I didn't come here to make friends, I came here to be number one" almost on a weekly basis.
- Dealbreakers Talk Show #0001: the mouth crying. That's all I have to say.
- Kidney Now: great season finale and another amazing song by Jeff. The idea of a celebrity fundraiser song to get one guy a kidney is just hilarious.
- Anna Howard Shaw Day: just a classic episode. Also the return of all of Liz's former lovers AND Bon Jovi? god bless.
- A Goon's Deed in a Weary World: I consider this to be the penultimate episode (even though "technically" Hogcock is) but honestly it kicks off the amazing closure we deserved with this show. It's very satisfying: both Liz finally getting her kids, the cast all quitting to help Liz out, and Jack giving Kenneth NBC? Amazing.
Honorable mention: Up All Night: this episode gave me the line "well I found the card and it's from your mom, so tell your gay mom I said thanks." oh, and because of Floyd I decided to go into entertainment law… which is a pretty big deal since it, you know, changed the whole course of my life

text: Well, well, here we are once again Hoff. Late at night, and not a sound to be heard throughout the WWEF. I've found myself lately to be one of the few, if not the only one online, around this time. (Current time is 3:10 am) I won't just browse here and there for a bit, no no. I read through many, many threads each and every night, late night that is. I reply to em all. I go to the main forums page, and The Hoff notices to the bottom right of his screen, that he is all of the recent posts. Hoff, Hoff, Hoff, Hoff, Hoff. Sure, go ahead, say The Hoff has no life. Whatever floats your boat. Maybe, just maybe though, I am the Santa Claus of the WWEF. Each and every night while you all are resting your heads, The Hoff comes in, and leaves little presents, called posts, for all of you to see and enjoy. Each and every time you all log on, and see what The Hoff had to say, it's, it's like Christmas morning every time. That feeling of anxiousness and pure joy. So, let the Hoff officially wish you for the first time, Happy Hoffmas. I wish I could only see the smiles on all of your faces

Vs. Cancer was founded by athletes for athletes, giving them the platform to raise money for childhood cancer.
Vs. Cancer is a non-profit fundraising campaign of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. We are dedicated to saving kids' lives by empowering athletes and communities to fund lifesaving childhood cancer efforts.
Vs. Cancer was founded by athletes for athletes, giving them the platform to raise money for childhood cancer.
Chase experienced the childhood cancer world first-hand; in 2006, as an eighteen-year-old college freshman, he was diagnosed with Stage IV brain cancer. As a byproduct of community help and national research, Chase attests his status of eight years cancer-free to a combination of the two.
Since beating cancer, Chase has had the chance to collaborate with multiple childhood cancer organizations, from local children's hospitals to international efforts in the constant battle to help more kids. After being treated at the NC Children's Hospital, Chase went on to work with Ronald McDonald House Charities, the LIVESTRONG Foundation, and the St. Baldrick's Foundation.
In college, Chase founded what is now Vs. Cancer, enabling student-athletes a platform to give back to childhood cancer, and successfully grew the presence to connect dozens of communities and thousands of supporters to donate to childhood cancer research.
Chase is a 2011 graduate from the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School. He is a Christ follower and former collegiate baseball player with the UNC Tar Heels. He is currently pursuing his MBA at the Wharton School.
Ashleigh's experience in the childhood cancer world started as a Tri Delta at NC State University hosting philanthropy events raising money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Ashleigh graduated from NC State University in 2010 and went to work for the Winston-Salem Journal in marketing and communications, focused on their non-profit and collegiate relationships. She later headed back to Raleigh to work for NC State University in marketing and communications for the College of Design. Her experience in the university setting and passion for curing kids cancer is what brought Ashleigh to Vs. Cancer.
Ashleigh lives in Raleigh with her husband John, son Levi and rescue pup Scout.
Brant has always had a heart for kids. In high school he began working with the miracle league, a baseball league for children with disabilities. Brant was first introduced to childhood cancer awareness through his involvement as a collegiate baseball player at Furman University with Vs. Cancer, leading his team to raising almost $40,000 during his senior year.
Brant attended Furman University where he was president of Athletic Service Board, established a partnership between Furman and the Miracle league, was inducted into the Hall of Leaders and named team captain his senior year. He graduated from Furman with a degree in Business Administration in 2014 and went on to pursue professional baseball as a member of the Lake Erie Crushers and later the Rockford Aviators. His experience with Vs. Cancer in college led him to aspire to use his baseball career as an opportunity to further the awareness of childhood cancer, and now looks forward to expanding the program as a member of the Vs. Cancer team.
Brant currently lives in Lakeland, FL where he pretends to be a fly fisherman and professional golfer. The rest of his time he spends with friends and family on Anna Maria Island diving and offshore fishing.
Tyler is from Melrose, Massachusetts. He graduated from Elon University with a degree in sports and event management with a minor in coaching. He is currently playing professionally for the Utica Unicorns while working for Vs. Cancer.
Tyler got involved with Vs. Cancer during his time at Elon and still holds the title of Vs. Cancer's top fundraiser. He became invested after seeing of how cancer has affected people he has known, having lost both family and friends to the disease. He has seen first hand how Vs. Cancer gives athletes the ability to use sports to raise money and awareness in order to make a difference in someone's life who needs it
Kathleen first learned about Vs. Cancer in 2013, when she was asked to organize a fundraiser for Vs. Cancer as a volunteer with the West Raleigh Baseball Association.
Kathleen has a Masters in Library Science from North Carolina Central University and has spent much of her career in the technology field working in database management, web development, and most recently as Digital Projects Librarian for the State Library of North Carolina.
Kathleen lives in Apex with her husband and two sons, and enjoys spending her free time watching her boys play baseball.

It was fortunate that Thomas and Jane Carlyle married one another, said Lord Tennyson, since any other arrangement would have made four people unhappy, not just two. The same could be said of the marriage of Liz Jones, confessional columnist extraordinaire, and Nirpal Singh Dhaliwal, bad-boy novelist.
First she sustained a weekly column with his marital failings. These were so comprehensive - he binge eats, he nearly squashes the cats in bed, he lies around all day, he spends all her money, he emits cabbagey smells, he spent their wedding night with his mates - that even strangers at his yoga class would tell him what a terrible husband he was. Then Jones immortalised it all in a book (with some extra details thrown in, such as the fact that her husband brushes his tongue).
But there has now been "a power shift", as Dhaliwal put it when I met him for breakfast at Zetter, a bistro in Clerkenwell, London. The shit husband has become the shit-hot novelist. No longer Mr Liz Jones but a literary sensation in his own right.
For years, Liz put up with him moping at home "writing a novel". This was not in fact a euphemism for napping: Dhaliwal has produced a book that has become one of the most controversial, hotly tipped reads this year. Full of unpalatable views on race and sex, it's clearly modelled on Michel Houellebecq. The cover features a thrusting female nipple, in case you were in any doubt that it's bad-lad lit.
Like most first novels, it's faintly autobiographical. The protagonist is called Puppy: Liz has referred to Nirpal in her columns as a young "pup". And Puppy has an uptight, skeletal girlfriend who keeps him in luxury, writes for women's mags and has a Matthew Hilton sofa. Ring any bells?
"She's not a direct portrait of Liz," he says, stirring his coffee vigorously. "She's an inversion or a subversion. Anyway, it's fiction so no one can pin me down on it." Hm. I can't work out if Jones and Dhaliwal are playing with one another, bickering on a grand scale, or if they're actually out to draw blood.
They're still together, but only just - they spent Christmas apart after he admitted infidelity (he got busted by a text message, "Beckham-style"). Is it a game, then, or is it war? "I'd say it's somewhere between the two," he says, smiling reluctantly. "It's certainly sport, but a vigorous contact one." Injuries are sustained? "Yeah. It's not always comfortable. Reading her stuff made me very cross. Cross inside. But then in a way, it also freed me up in my own writing. It taught me not to worry about people's opinions of me. If people think the worst, I don't care."
People may very well think the worst after they read his novel, which is full of misanthropy ("I was grateful I wasn't ugly; I didn't have to strive for wealth to avoid a life of substandard sexual partners") and racial stereotyping ("in adolescence a lot of blacks, encouraged by the anomic rantings of rap music, adopt a sordid boorish persona ..."). It's quite, er, brave, I tell him. "It's hardly protecting Iraqis from firebombs, is it?" Unflinching, then. "It's all true. Everything in it I have taken from things I've said or heard said. There were times when I did think: 'You just can't say that'." Dhaliwal's eyes, seen through his famously long eyelashes (both his book and his wife's mention them approvingly) glint with excitement. "So I said it."
Were you ever worried it might start a riot? "Ha! I'd love to write a book that was influential enough to start a riot."
For all his provocation, Dhaliwal is fundamentally conservative. He is immensely proud of the British constitution. "In this country, we have the most sophisticated, humane society the world has ever seen. You go to India and you see a country taking the most courageous steps to emulate what we have here: constitutional democracy and freedom of expression and the rule of law. People come here for the freedoms that this country allows them, not just for the economic benefits."
"White PC liberals wanting to look all hip" are the enemy. They pander, he thinks, to dangerous religious extremists. "We shouldn't be held hostage by these people who want to drag us back to medievalism."
Dhaliwal was born in Greenford to Punjabi immigrants (father second-, mother first-generation). He's a non-practising Sikh, state-schooled and a graduate of Nottingham University - his first experience, he says, of social mobility and mingling with the white middle class. "On one occasion at university, I heard my voice on a tape and I was shocked. You sound so common, I thought, you should have elocution lessons. But what was amusing was that while I was there, the popularity of the Mockney accent really took off. The mountain came to Mohammed."
He chuckles. It's becoming clear to me why Liz stays with him. He may never have bought her flowers, apart from an orchid in an ugly pot paid for on Liz's credit card, but he's good company. "And I've always pulled my weight more than that column suggests. I've done all the cooking. Liz is a woman who spent 20 years being anorexic. She can't cook to save her life."
Another score settled, another opportunity for Liz to write a column in riposte. Their relationship, viewed from the outside, looks more like a media meal-ticket than a marriage. But face to face with Dhaliwal, I realise that he's actually touchingly earnest. Has he ever done something in order to see how it gets written up? "No! That would be well weird."
Dhaliwal's chances at a healthy relationship were, you could say, compromised from the beginning. He grew up in a "very fractured" family, where his parents, brought together in an arranged marriage, were "basically strangers living under the same roof".
"I've seen that phenomenon in many arranged marriages of that generation. It's not uncommon. The saccharine myth about the lovely Asian hearth where everybody sits around eating lovely food and cuddling one another ... it doesn't work like that." When he was 11, his father went bankrupt and descended into manic depression; Nirpal then became "this horrible teen - vicious, selfish ... I drove my mum up the wall".
Does this explain why marriage was never going to be easy for him? Did his parents' behaviour teach him to sulk for days? Maybe I should leave such questions to his therapist, who after a few months of sessions has made him feel "more happy and relaxed than ever before. I'm a great believer in therapy."
It's ironic, really, that Nirpal is in therapy, when it's Liz who is normally seen as needing help. Her column is regularly described as "bonkers" and "neurotic". But he confides to me: "She's not that mad, you know. She couldn't be such a great writer if she was."
Born Greenford, west London, in 1974. Educated locally (four As at A level); degree in English and American literature from Nottingham University. Holiday jobs include stacking shelves and cleaning aeroplanes at Heathrow airport. Met Liz Jones in 2000, when she was the editor of Marie Claire and he was working as a radio journalist for the BBC; he was sent to interview her. They married in 2002 at Babington House... at her expense.

Spotted this beauty for the first time on Germany's Cebit show in Hannover in 2007. It was the first HDD and BlueRay product battle during that show. I was impressed by the looks and the specs. I've tried a demo HD DVD and it was simply stunning.
Looking for a replacement notebook for my musical performances(live and studio) i wanted something with a very big screen and Dualcore processor.
With this still in mind i thought i might just buy it. No regrets here.(not cheap though)

February 9: In the Museum District, we will tour two houses. Each was designed by their architect owners, each with an intimate knowledge of the people and art that would inhabit the spaces.
We will first visit the collection of a woman who decided at a young age NOT to collect as a rebellious act against the fervent collecting of the remainder of her family. But the family genes prevailed and collect she did! Her eclecticism has combined inherited pieces with what she calls "opportunistic buying" through the years. The "opportunistic" portion of the collection ranges from a fourth-century Byzantine mosaic fragment and a fifteenth-century German wooden apostle figure to contemporary pieces by Dale Chihuly and by Houston artist, Sharon Kopriva.
Our second stop is a contemporary house completed in 2014, nestled into Houston's smallest historic district. Our hosts insured that their home had ample space for their art as well as outdoor space for gardening and entertaining. The interior palette of mostly contemporary works is complemented on the exterior by raised beds for herbs and vegetables and lush fern beds. Here we will see works by well-known artists such as David Aylesworth, Louise Nevelson, and James Surls and emerging talents such as Dana Frankfurt and Demetrius Oliver.
February 23: In River Oaks, we will visit two unusual houses in which the homeowners have accommodated growing families and growing art collections.
First, we will tour a classic Tudor-style house, built in 1934 and since updated. The collection, which includes paintings, sculpture, and drawings, is knit together by a common thread of "detailed quirkiness." Viewers will enjoy work by artists as varied as Raymond Pettibon, Kara Walker, Donald Moffett, Ken Price, Al Taylor, Ed Kienholz, Dario Robleto, Luis Jimenez, Jorinde Voigt, and Lawrence Weiner. Visitors to the third floor game room will find that the walls are an art installation.
The second collection is an outstanding chronicle of moments in art history over the last fifty years. Designed by architect Howard Barnstone for the current owners in 1970, the house has been the backdrop for frequent gatherings over many decades. This exceedingly personal collection has been amassed by a couple passionate about art, reflecting their shared interests as well as individual favorites. These homeowners collect established artists and also keep their fingers on the pulse of the art community at all times by supporting young artists and emerging artists in a variety of media.

Now the runners are in for the kill. Among their finds might be a heavily varnished picture of horses, modestly catalogued as "18th century English school" at a country auction. The runner has laid out pounds 1,000 on it and is about to try to convince the expert at Christie's front counter that it is a Stubbs worth anything up to pounds 500,000. The runner's unwitting allies: inexperienced small auctioneers such as the Isle of Wight firm, now defunct, which catalogued a Stubbs as by "S Tubbs".
The most renowned runner is Philip "Buffy" Parker, closely related to the Earl of Macclesfield, whose eye for art transcends that of any hyena. News of his arrival at front counters brings a Pavlovian response from auctioneers. His other nickname is "the Hoover". He will Hoover up 40 canvases a week, having driven 1,000 miles and viewed 5,000 pictures at 20 country auction houses. His hits have aroused such jealousy among rivals that he now employs decoys to bid on his behalf. Otherwise he becomes the victim of "bitch bidding" by local traders - they try to "run him up", bidding higher and higher, then dropping out, lumbering him with a higher price.
Buffy's haul of thousands of paintings is stored in the grand country house in Hampshire that he bought with the proceeds of his biggest hit of all - a grimy portrait of a Pope, painted on slate rather than canvas, for which he laid out a paltry pounds 180 at Sotheby's one-time saleroom in Chester. Buffy sold it for pounds 380,000 at Christie's, London. It was the Venetian High Renaissance master Sebastiano del Piombo's portrait of Pope Clement VII. The Getty Foundation in America eventually bought it - for a reported pounds 6.5m. Sotheby's found themselves with some out-of-court settling to do.
But such is the romance of art-market finds that the ever-opportunist London auctioneers have taken to publicising them as crowd-pullers - not the "sleepers" that have slipped through their fingers, of course, but the clever discoveries they themselves have made before the goods have come under the hammer. Nowadays, any lot not fresh to market is likely to be given the "discovery" treatment. For example, Sotheby's describes as "newly discovered" two watercolours by the great Victorian bird painter John Audubon, estimated to fetch up to pounds 70,000 on 11 July. Newly discovered? Were they lost under a sofa or buried in mouse nests? No, simply stored in a private collection.
It is not just bleary-eyed runners who line their pockets by awakening sleepers. All dealers earn their living by finding greater value in artworks than was previously perceived.
At auction, you can tell the paintings that have undergone examination by dealers. They appear at the rostrum covered with cloudy smears like a dirty car windscreen. The smears are spit. Dealers in search of sleepers have been licking their fingers and dabbing at the grubby surface, creating portholes through which the colours of the paint shine through, like a dry pebble washed by the tide. The sideways look, the darting spit-and- dab, are all part of the battle of wits played for high stakes between dealers and auctioneers.
The auctioneers have yet more tricks up their sleeves. An insidious new invention of theirs is the "sleeper on a plate". At Sotheby's sale of contents of the Marquess of Bristol's East Wing at Ickworth, Suffolk, this month, were some 60 portraits, dumped there by the National Trust when they took over the rest of the stately home. They were catalogued tantalisingly as "studio of", "school of", "follower of" Van Dyck et al. The auction was packed with international fortune-hunters. The "sleeper on a plate" was lot 484, a portrait of the Marchesa Balbi. Although the catalogue entry said that Dr Susan Barnes, the acknowledged authority on Van Dyck, had endorsed attribution to the master, and would be including the portrait in the forthcoming catalogue raisonne of his works, Sotheby's headlined it as "attributed to" Van Dyck - a coded tag meaning that the auctioneer considers the attribution no more than "probable". Moreover, the estimate for the Marchesa was a ludicrously small pounds 4,000-pounds 6,000, strengthening the misleading impression that Sotheby's, against all evidence, considered the attribution to Van Dyck little better than worthless.
Result: the painting was well and truly spat upon in the time-honoured manner and bidding, in the absence of a sensible top estimate, went through the roof. The painting sold for pounds 133,500. Normally, an "attributed to" estimate on such a Van Dyck would be in the region of pounds 20,000-pounds 30,000, an attribution to the master's hand between pounds 40,000-pounds 60,000 and pounds 60,000- pounds 80,000. Such is Sotheby's riposte to sleeper seekers.
There was a Pope in the sale, Alexander VII, lot 475, catalogued as "Roman School, 17th century". It sold for pounds 10,350. As he brought the hammer down, the auctioneer, James Miller, announced, a little truculently, the buyer's name: Philip Mould. I heard a gasp all around me. Philip Mould is Britain's sleeper-finder in chief. Aged 36, he has bought for a song countless sleepers in his field of expertise, British portraits, and is author of a bestselling book, "Sleepers". It is unusual for a buyer's name to be sung out at auction. It was as if Mr Miller was telling bidders: "There, see what you've missed!"
Mr Mould has a donnish, book-lined gallery in Bond Street that exudes opulence. Propped nonchalently against the wall is his latest find, a portrait in oils of King Charles II by the 17th century Italian Antonio Verrio that used to be the centrepiece of the ceiling in St George's Hall, Windsor Castle. The trade expects the Queen to buy it but Mr Mould is saying nothing.
The portrait was mis-catalogued "Kaiser Leopold I" in the Dorotheum auction rooms in Vienna. He bought it for a mere pounds 8,000. The portrait was thought to have been destroyed on the orders of George IV, who was jealous of his Stuart ancestors.
Mr Mould knows the heart-thumping excitement of bidding without knowing whether other dealers in the room have spotted the same sleeper, the silent prayers offered by the fortune hunter for the hammer to come down. Then there is the elated apprehension as the skilled restorer dabs gingerly at later-added paint with a cotton wool swab soaked in acetone.
Propped on an easel in his gallery is another celebrated find of his, worth pounds 500,000 - a tiny portrait by an unknown artist of Prince Arthur, elder brother of Henry VIII, who died aged 15 in 1502 before he could ascend the throne. It was correctly catalogued by Sotheby's, but only Mr Mould and his researcher twigged that it was the only original portrait in existence of the frail-looking Prince, whose untimely death changed the course of British history. It was estimated at pounds 4,000-pounds 6,000 and he bid pounds 12,000 for it.
Mr Mould's motto: "Fortune favours a prepared mind". He says: "Knowledge of an artist's style is paramount, but it is not just cerebral: it is intuitive, almost sensual. You need to become familiar with each artist's voice, even if it is disguised or speaking with a foreign accent - for example, English 18th century painters were influenced by French and Italian styles".
He is disdainful of some lofty art historians, especially "acknowledged authorities" - those museum curators whose God-like pronouncements can make or break an attribution. "Some art historians", he says, "lack the connoisseurship to identify traits of the artist for whom they're meant to be the authority. Unlike dealers, the expertise of some of them often derives too much from photographs.
"We see, say, 50 pictures a day and develop a skill that some of them sadly lack. Also, the financial risks we take do have the effect of sending oxygen to the brain". So why are there no dealers who are acknowledged authorities? Simple: "Because we are financially motivated".

Consumer Sovereignty The interaction of supply and demand in the market mechanism.
Lesson Overview Finding equilibrium Shortage and surplus situations Necessary assumptions
Finding Equilibrium At some point, the demand curve will cross the supply curve. This point is known as equilibrium; which is the moment at which the quantity producers are willing to supply exactly equals the quantity consumers will purchase.
Finding Equilibrium Price Quantity Equilibrium Supply Demand
Equilibrium It is very important to realise that this point represents both an equilibrium price AND an equilibrium quantity. In other words, that quantity will be produced and consumed (ie purchased) at that price.
Shortages By examining this graph, we can identify a situation in which a shortage may arise. This would occur if demand exceeded supply. In other words, it would occur if the price was too low.
Finding Equilibrium Price Quantity Equilibrium Supply Demand $1 50 150 $1.50
So What Would Happen? In this situation, one of two things could happen … As demand exceeds supply, producers may increase the price to take advantage of this and make higher profits. If the profit margin is high, they may decide to allocate more resources to this item and therefore make more of them.
Consumer Sovereignty Either way, we would find that we move back towards equilibrium. However, it is important to note that this only occurs because suppliers react to the actions of consumers. This is called " consumer sovereignty ".
A Surplus? A surplus could also occur, if the level of supply exceeded demand. This would happen if the price was set too high. In this case, it is likely that producers will lower their price to clear stock, and again return to equilibrium.
Assumptions During this year, we will look at these graphs many times. It is important to note that the theory used here is based on certain, quite restrictive assumptions.
Assumptions These assumptions include: Resources are quickly transferable from one item to another. The market is highly competitive; there are many buyers and sellers. All participants have perfect knowledge of the market. There are no barriers to entry or exit for any market. There is no government intervention. Participants will always behave in a logical way (eg, they will buy the cheapest option).

Should you care about the power that comes into your Airstream from the campground?
Absolutely, YES.
Even newer campgrounds can have problems with their electrical power. Outlets are sometimes mis-wired or damaged in a way that can be hazardous to your health–and your Airstream! And on a hot, humid day when everyone in the campground is running their air conditioner, you need to know that voltage is high enough to avoid burning out your A/C compressor.
The best way to know you're getting good power is to use a digital AC voltage monitor. This monitor is one of the best. It constantly displays voltage so you will know if the power is sagging, and it checks for common mis-wiring conditions, like:
Just plug it into any available power outlet in the Airstream, and you'll always know at a glance that you are getting good power.
Comes with our 2-page instructional booklet, "How To Avoid Electrical Problems At The Campground."
This voltage monitor is something every Airstream should carry at all times.

Many of the calls we receive are about behaviour. Unfortunately, as parents, our ability to manage our child's behaviour seems to be one of those things that identifies us as 'good' or 'bad' parents, which is why when things seem to be going wrong it is often distressing. The first thing to remember is that all parents have difficulties with their child's behaviour sometimes and the second is that though we can't control children's behaviour, we can manage it.
How hydrocephalus may impact on learning and behaviour
Children with hydrocephalus typically have problems with understanding language, concentration, short term memory and processing information. All of these, potentially, can have an impact on behaviour. If you can 't remember instructions then you won't be able to carry them out. If you have trouble transferring knowledge to new situations itmay be that you can do something in one place but not another. If you don't understand jokes your friends may think you're a bit 'odd'.
The impact that hydrocephalus can have on learning and behaviour varies with each individual. Some people may have very few problems, where as in others the consequences can be much more serious. It is important to remember that children with hydrocephalus often have a number of specific learning difficulties, which may mean that they learn in a different way, and need different strategiesto help them. Additionally, if children are struggling at school, either academically or with their social relationships this can have a detrimental effect on self- esteem, which in itself can cause behavioural difficulties. If you think this may be an issue it is important to talk to your child's school.
Human behaviour is extremely complicated. Psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, educationalists, politicians and many other groups have studied, analysed and argued over many years about how and why we behave in particular ways. This has led to a multitude of theories about how behaviour can be managed and in recent years numerous television programmes and books which often make it look very easy! Parents, and teachers, often feel de-skilled when faced with a child who does not behave appropriately.
This, in turn, can lead to the situation getting worse as parents get more and more frustrated and children feel more powerful but also less secure, making their behaviour even more extreme. In children and adults with developmental difficulties it becomes even more complicated as they may not react in the way we would expect.
Strategies for managing challenging behaviour
All the manuals and programmes necessarily ignore individual circumstances and personalities, some will argue that these aren't relevant. It is, however, very difficult to give a standard recipe for improving children's behaviour. Every situation is different and may require different strategies, but there are ways that we can begin to work out what is going wrong and how to put it right.
* Firstly, try to detach yourself from the situation a little. This is not easy but try to see it as a problem to be solved and approach it 'scientifically'
* Make a list of the behaviours which you are finding difficult, then prioritise them from the most to the least troubling
Concentrate on the behaviour at the top of the list and make a note of anything which might be relevant. When does it happen? Where does it happen? Is any other particular person involved? How often does it happen? What happens before? What happens after? How do other people react? How does it stop? You may need to observe for a few days
* Then try to work out what the child is getting from this behaviour. Is it attention? Do they enjoy the fuss? Do they get their own way? Do they avoid doing something else?
At this point you should have some ideas about what triggers the behaviour, how it stops, and what the child gets from it. Now you are in a better position to try to change it. This will take time. Your child may have been practising this behaviour for several years. It is unrealistic to expect it to stop immediately. You and your child will need to learn new behaviours to replace the one you want to stop.
There are four strategies, which are particularly useful;
Routine - the more established a routine the less likely a child is to try to change it. You may need a 'going to school' routine, a 'what to do when you come home' routine, a 'bedtime' routine. In fact, wherever you notice a time that causes problems, try a routine. Routines are particularly important for children with short- term memory problems. Repetition enables them to remember what to do and allows them to be more independent.
Consistency - this ties into routines but also includes how we respond to a behaviour. If we always ignore 'Johnny' when he shouts then eventually he will stop shouting, if we only ignore it now and again then he will learn that it works sometimes and he keeps trying.
Look for the Positive, Ignore the Negative sometimes - we have to make a real effort to notice the positives but when you do notice that your child is behaving appropriately, make sure they know you've noticed. Reward good behaviour, however small. Rewards can be anything that the child enjoys; a cuddle, five minutes playtime, music, just a smile. It doesn't have to be a present. Try to ignore inappropriate behaviour as much as you can. If you have to intervene do it as calmly and as quietly as possible, avoid arguments and discussion. Make instructions clear and positive; 'This is what I want you to do', not, 'Don't do that'.
Make time - try to make some time every day which is just for you and your child. It could be built into a routine, for example, at bedtime. It is important that this time is guaranteed, no matter what, even if you don't feel like it. If your child doesn't feel like it, make it clear that this is special time and you are available if they change their mind.
These strategies may well help in curbing inappropriate behaviour but this is when the hard work really begins! Children need help in learning how to manage their own behaviour. Some children with hydrocephalus will need direct teaching of social skills because they find social interaction, understanding language, reading emotions and body language very difficult. They may need to learn how to manage their own emotions. What do you do when you are angry, frustrated, really excited?
