The first edition of Loyola's "spiritual exercises," the method of formation of man and spirit at the heart of the foundation of the Society of Jesus. Woodstock Theological Library.
Georgetown University: A Documentary History
A "celebret," granting permission to the Jesuit Fr. Kessel to perform the usual priestly duties (hearing confession, preaching, etc.). With a relic, a particle of one of the saint's bones, attached. Acquired by a previous owner by even trade for an autograph of Martin Luther. From the Talbot Collection.
The first edition of Maffei's life of Ignatius, which remained the standard biography of the Society's founder for many years. The frontispiece portrait of Loyola is taken from the copy of the anonymous Vita beati P. Ignatii Loiolae Societatis Iesv Fvndatoris (Rome, 1622), a biography rendered in eighty engravings, bound second in this volume. With the signature of Archbishop John Carroll on the first title page.
The first printed edition of the Ratio Studiorum, produced for distribution to the several Jesuit provinces for commentary and reaction. With the autograph deletions and additions common to other known copies. The only copy recorded in the United States. From the collection of Sir Leicester Harmsworth.
The first published edition of the Ratio, incorporating numerous changes from the private edition of 1586; this edition, however, was also superseded upon publication of that of 1599. One of two copies recorded in the United States. From the collection of Sir Leicester Harmsworth, with the earlier book label of Henry Huth.
"On the 5th of July, 1640, having been sufficiently instructed in the mysteries of faith, he [the Tayac or Emperor Chitomachon] received the Sacramental waters with solemnity in a little chapel, which for that ceremony and for divine worship he had erected in Indian fashion out of the bark of trees." Translation from the Annual Letter of 1640, Rev. Thomas Hughes, S.J. History of the Society of Jesus in North America. Vol I. London: Longmans, Green, and Co. 1908.
The second and last of Tanner's great biographical compendia. The illustration displayed depicts the baptism of the Tayac by Father Andrew White. We do not know why his name was rendered as "Vitus."
The original grant for Newtown Manor, also known as "Britton's Neck. " The Jesuits ran a school here in the 17th century. The earliest known example of the seal of the colony is attached.
On five pages bound at the front are drafts of prayers, the commandments, and the precepts of the Church written by Rev. Andrew White, S.J., ca. 1640 in English, Latin, and Conoy (Piscataway). A pleasing conjecture is that these were used in the instruction of the Tayac of the Piscataway.
Father Andrew White's copy of the rules of the Society of Jesus.
Mr. Wayt's Account - Note the details
The Jesuits established their second Maryland school at Bohemia Manor on the Eastern Shore at the head of the Chesapeake Bay. John Carroll entered in 1745 to prepare for the Jesuit College at St. Omer in Flanders. The opening displayed shows the account of Mr. Wayt, the schoolmaster. Wayt was a layman and a convert; he may have been put in charge of the school to help circumvent the legal prohibitions against Roman Catholic education.
The lower house of the Maryland assembly increased its attacks on Catholics after 1750. Charles Carroll, the father of the Signer, led the Catholic effort to block discriminatory legislation in the 1750's. We find Carroll's comments in this list: "Oh, the sagacious, merry and witty Govr! who ordered his clerk to write to me...to oppose a law which passed the House the day (he) wrote his letter."
Resolves concerning the Institution of a School
These minutes record the decision to proceed to establish the school proposed by Carroll.
Not all favored the establishment of a school. In this reply the proponents argue: "The schools of the Society in Europe were not calculated merely to supply its order with members, or the Church with ministers, but to diffuse knowledge, promote virtue & serve Religion. This is just the end we propose by our school, & tho' no members should take to the Church, we conceive this end alone well worth our most earnest concurrence, since it is the object of our dayly labours & the establishment of this Mission."
Site of the meetings of the general chapter of the clergy which approved the establishment of a school.
Carroll's letter of authorization for fund-raising and his Proposals were the first public notices of the proposed academy; the copies displayed were sent to Edward Weld of Lulworth, Dorset, March 30, 1787.
"We shall begin the building of our Academy this summer. In the beginning, we shall confine our plan to a house of 63 or 64 feet by 50, on one of the most lovely situations that imagination can frame. It will be three stories high, exclusive of the offices under the whole. Do not forget to give and procure assistance. On this academy is built all my hope of permanency, and success to our H. Religion in the United States."
The estimate and contract for the construction of the original building of the college.
The original building stood on the south side of the quadrangle. It was demolished for the construction of the Ryan dormitory in 1904.
"You will observe that the perfection of this plan requires great exertions; and in particular demands persons of considerable ability for the conduct of the academy."
View of the site of the consecration of John Carroll as first Bishop of Baltimore and residence of Rev. Charles Plowden. The correspondence of Carroll and Plowden is one of the chief sources for the history of Anglo-American Catholicism in the period.
"Being out of Meat and finding none in our Great City, if it shd be convenient to you to kill a Calf, College will take what you can spare and with cr. for the same." This is the earliest letter we have by a Georgetown president written while in office.
The first illustrated prospectus
The first illustrated prospectus, along with the most recent. Old North, which still stands, joined the original building in 1795. Note the large handball alley.
"The academy at Georgetown, which now is on foot, and acquires reputation, will be of great service hereafter, if well conducted."
Albumen photograph of a painting [after J.P. de Clorivière?]
The first prospectus of Georgetown College, issued by President DuBourg on January 1, 1798. The prospectus was also available in French and Spanish. Fr. DuBourg was a native of Cape Francois on the island of Santo Domingo and a member of the congregation of St. Sulpice. He was the first Georgetown president to attempt to act on a broad scale, expanding the faculty, hiring fencing masters, buying silver and a piano. Unfortunately, his ability to raise money did not match his ability to spend it, and he was forced out in the face of rising debts.
Engraving [after J.P. de Clorivière?]
"He [Fr. Leonard Neale] was a strict moralist, and during his presidency he preserved great order and discipline in the college... The students were never allowed access to the garden. He had planted two small cherry trees fronting the southern door of the old College, each of which after 2 or 3 years, produced about 8 or 10 cherries. He prized his cherries very highly and was so careful of them that he counted them every day. At length three or four of the cherries disappeared. He suspected the students. He took measure of the rogue's foot according to the track left under the tree and soon repaired to the study room where I was then presiding as Prefect...He then addressed the students dwelling emphatically on the 7th commandment...he never supposed a gentleman's son could be guilty of such meanness."
In commenting on the Neale administration, John Carroll remarked " Georgetown should not be run on the principles of a convent," and generations of our students have done their best to live up to the challenge.
"All particular associations and private conversations are absolutely forbidden; no two or three therefore must be seen habitually conversing together for any considerable time in private."
The rules of 1829 were considered much more lenient than those of the Neale administration.
"Mr. William Digges' Sukey hired at College at 10 per annum commencing March 27, 1792"
"Justane in a/c with the College"
Old Georgetown hands are surprised to learn that there were women at the college in the earliest days. Justane Douat was hired as a nurse for the small boys. Note the entry to cash paid for the seal of the corporation. We believe that she was giving money to engrave the emblem displayed here. Sukey was one of a small number of slaves who worked at the college along with free blacks.
[bearing the emblem of the college]
William Gaston of North Carolina entered Georgetown November 22, 1791, as the first student to enroll. Though health forced his transfer to Princeton, where he was placed in the third year of studies after a year and a half at Georgetown, Gaston remained close to the faculty throughout his long and distinguished life. He served in Congress, where he introduced the legislation chartering the college, and served as chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. He wrote the state song of North Carolina and the city of Gastonia is named in his honor.
"I place my boy Augustus under the charge of the Rev. Joseph Carbery, to receive moral and religious instruction, to be taught an useful trade, and, when qualified to make a fit use of his freedom, to be emancipated."Gaston was a slave owner who looked forward to the day that slavery would be abolished.
Gaston married the daughter of the college physician in the parlor of the Worthington house, now the home of Senator and Mrs. Claiborne Pell. Fr. Grassi officiated at the ceremony.
Engraved by A. B. Durand after a painting by G. Cooke, 1834
"Mr. Gaston presented a petition of the President and Directors of the College of Georgetown, praying to be invested with authority and power to confer the usual academical honors..."
[Commencement program, 1818]
The charter gave Georgetown the power to grant degrees. The first to complete the course were brothers Charles and George Dinnies of New York.

[retained copy]
After George Washington University, then called Columbian College, received a grant of land from Congress, friends of Georgetown successfully petitioned for a similar grant; however, the Commissioner of Public Land delayed the transfer for some years and then assigned scattered and virtually worthless lots to Georgetown. President Van Buren ignored this letter from friends of the college.
There were at least three serious student rebellions at Georgetown before the Civil War. The most celebrated occurred just after the Christmas holiday of 1849. The story is best told in the words of Judge Robert Ray, who wrote about it almost fifty years later:
"I was in the "Ky Yi Yi" Rebellion, Father Ward was vice President, in the absence of Ryder the rebellion broke out, on account of the grub mostly as I recollect, after the matter went on for some days, we all in a body waited on Father Ward for the purpose of making known our grievances, and he as 'quict as tow and fire' wanted to know who was at the head of all this. Dominick O'Burnes of Ga spoke up and said we are all acting in concert, where upon a brake was made for the dormitory where we procured what clothes was on hand, and after smashing up things in general, about sixty of us left the College and went over to Washington, and took charge of the Globe Hotel, a third class house, & called to our aid several Senators, and Representatives from the states the boys were from, and asked them after laying our case before them, to open communication with the faculty...That was the first rebellion I was ever in, the second was the one between the North and the South, and I must say that I came out worse for the wear in both of them."
---Robert Ray to Rev. Francis Barnum, S.J.
The Jesuit scientific tradition emphasized astronomical observations. Important research in this field was conducted at Georgetown beginning in the 1840's. As early as 1815, Congress had invited the faculty to determine the exact meridian of Georgetown. Though Frs. Grassi, Wallace and Baxter were sufficiently trained, the available instrumentation was inadequate. The measurements were completed in the 1840's by Fr. Curley, the founder of the observatory. Astronomical studies received added impetus with the arrival of the Italian refugee Jesuits Frs. Sestini and Secchi after the revolutions of 1848. Fr. Secchi is thought of as the father of astrophysics.

"You will need all the strength and health you have gained for the work before you."
James, Patrick, Sherwood, and Michael Healy were four remarkable sons from a family of ten children born to Michael Morris and Mary Eliza Healy of Jones County, Georgia. Their birthdates were April 6, 1830, February 27, 1834, January 24, 1836, and September 1839, respectively. Michael Healy, the father, was an Irish immigrant who came to America by way of Canada. Successful in land lotteries held in Georgia after the War of 1812, Mr. Healy was able to turn his good fortune into a prosperous cotton plantation on the banks of the Ocmulgee River near Macon, Georgia. Mary Eliza had been a mulatto domestic slave on the plantation of cotton magnate Sam Griswold until Mr. Healy purchased her in 1829. Deeply devoted to her, Michael Healy took Eliza as his wife, despite the fact that the marriage was technically against the laws of Georgia and that any offspring would be classified legally as slaves.
Considered property by law, Healy's sons were barred from schools in Georgia. Unable to educate his sons properly at home, the family determined to send them North for schooling. Mr. Healy's attempt to escape the stifling Georgia Black Codes was hampered by the shocking amount of bigotry and prejudice displayed to him by Northern school officials. After an exhausting search, he located a Quaker school in Flushing, Long Island, willing to accept his three eldest sons.
The educational paths of all four boys eventually converged on the College of the Holy Cross at Worcester, Massachusetts. Here James, Patrick, and Sherwood fully embraced the Catholic faith of their father, who had fallen out of practice because of the lack of Catholics and churches in Georgia at the time of his settlement. These three would later pursue priestly vocations which would stimulate and illustrate their talents for service, compassion, and learning. James would become the first black bishop in the American Catholic Church; Patrick would serve as president and rector of Georgetown University; Sherwood became director of the seminary in Troy, New York, and rector of the Cathedral in Boston. The future Captain Healy was baptized at Holy Cross like his brothers, but would undertake a career in the Revenue Cutter Service, a branch now part of the Coast Guard. Known as "Hell-Roaring Mike," he is still a legendary figure in Alaska and the Coast Guard.
Having been freed from the clutches of legal and overt prejudice by a father of devotion and foresight, the four Healy brothers would take advantage of their opportunities to become impor- tant figures in American history as well as the Black heritage of the United States.

Are Your Children Getting the Vitamins They Need?
Are Your Children Getting the Vitamins They Need?Younger children may be getting enough nutrients from diet aloneBefore you serve up the gummy vitamins, chew on this: some children may not be getting the nutrients they need most from their multivitamins, some may be getting too much of certain nutrients, and others may not need a multivitamin at all.Do they really need a children's vitamin?
Eating a healthy diet goes a long way towards preventing nutritional deficiencies, but how much do we really know about which nutrients kids are getting enough of in their everyday diets and which ones we need to supplement?
That's the question that researchers from institutions including Tufts University and the National Institutes of Health attempted to answer in a study published in the Journal of Pediatrics.
The study looked at the diets and supplement use of 7,250 children between 2 and 18 years old to see if taking supplements helped fill in nutritional gaps, or if it led to excess intake of certain nutrients in kids who already had good diets.
Following are the percentages of children who took dietary supplements:
- 23% of 2- to 8-year-olds
- 23% of 9- to 13-year-olds
- 26% of 14- to 18-year-olds
Here's what the study showed:
- Where diet worked: Most of the younger children got plenty of phosphorus, copper, selenium, folate, and vitamins B6 and B12 from diet alone.
- Where supplements helped: Dietary supplements helped fill in nutritional gaps (especially of magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamins A, C, and E) among older children. The prevalence of inadequate intake of all of the nutrients examined (except iron and phosphorus) was significantly lower among children who took supplements. There was a significantly higher prevalence of inadequate calcium and vitamins A, C, D, and E intake across all age groups among children who didn't take supplements. Most of the children between 2- and 8-years-old who didn't take supplements didn't meet the recommended intake for calcium and vitamins D and E.
- Where supplements didn't help: Even among children who did take supplements, more than one third didn't get enough calcium or vitamin D. Children who took supplements were more likely to have intakes above the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of iron, zinc, folic acid, and vitamins A and C. Younger children were also more likely to have intakes above the UL for copper and selenium.
Still wondering what to do?
The take-home message from this study is that younger children may be getting enough of most nutrients from diet alone, but may benefit from boosting intake of certain nutrients, like calcium and vitamins D and E. Older children might benefit from taking a multivitamin-mineral supplement, and making sure that they get enough calcium and vitamin D. "These findings may have implications for reformulating dietary supplements for children," the authors commented.

Researchers have found that specific forms of vitamin E commonly found in some vegetable oils and nuts may prevent colon, lung, breast and prostate cancers.
There are eight forms of vitamin E – all of which act as antioxidants that stop free radical damage and oxidation in your body. (Think of antioxidants as protecting your body from "rusting.") In the vitamin E family there are four tocopherols (alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-) and four tocotrinols (alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-).
In the study, animals fed vitamin E in the form of gamma-tocopherols and delta-tocopherols developed fewer and smaller tumors when exposed to cancer-causing substances. When cancer cells were injected into mice, these tocopherols also slowed the growth of tumors.
Heart Health Benefits
In addition to anti-cancer benefits, gamma-tocopherol antioxidants from food sources may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
In another study conducted last year, researchers found that eating pecans high in gamma-tocopherol doubled gamma-tocopherol levels in the body and reduced unhealthy oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol in the blood by as much as 33 percent. Similar studies using pistachios found that they reduced cholesterol levels and oxidation of LDL cholesterol.
Oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are suspected of causing inflammation and plaque buildup inside blood vessels.

Restaurant Observatory…
It's a common occurrence for you to head out with either friends or family for a bite to eat from time to time. Most restaurants can provide the seating and selection that you could not either financially or feasibly put together on a regular basis. It's a time to hang out, have fun and hopefully have a good breakfast, lunch or dinner. But restaurants can also present some annoying problems that may interfere with you and your friend's/family good time.
One of the issues is that you and the rest of your group are not the only one's there most of the time. Other people are doing the same thing and taking their peers and relatives out, which can lead to having so many voices in the room that you can't hear a thing, or maybe hear a little too much about a person y0u don't even know.
The fun you could be having can just as easily turn to an annoyance you have to deal with while your in the restaurant. Take a minute and think about some of the past annoyances you've had to deal with when you're out at a restaurant and then call up and let me know what happened.

Coming up next week, Raleigh will be hosting its annual festival celebrating the arts: Artsplosure. What an exciting weekend for all who love the arts to come out and get inspired.
Pablo Picasso famously said, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." As a children's book author, former classroom teacher, and the parent of a creative little girl (who regularly produces such surprisingly imaginative pieces like this "cuckoo clock"), I am convinced that children are some of the most uninhibited and wildly creative people.
Let's take a look at what children can teach us about how to be more creative in our daily and artistic lives.
For a child, everything is new. Childhood is nothing if not the time in life where our brains are filled with vast amounts of new knowledge and experiences. This is enormously stimulating for young people. Have you ever noticed that many famous artists, musicians, and writers produce their best work early in their careers? Even Einstein was only 26 years old when he proposed his Special Theory of Relativity (immortalized in the formula E = mc2). While one might think experience would increase the success of our artistic and imaginative products, the sad truth is creative output generally declines with age. Before you get too depressed consider the role of new experiences and information for helping you get back to that childlike exuberance for your art. Age does not steal our ingenuity. We do by falling back on worn out ideas. Embrace newness to stimulate your creativity.
Children learn by playing. Whether making up games on the playground, inventing new worlds in the backyard, and disappearing into their imaginations through toys, drawings, and books, children learn best through unstructured play. They discover so much more through hands-on activities and exploration rather than lectures and structured work. The innovative 3M company encourages researchers to take a daily "bootlegging hour," a time each day to pursue individual interests, take walks, play pinball, and do activities that other companies might view as unproductive. Google has a similar initiative called Innovative Time-Off. Take time to play, work with your hands, daydream, and explore activities that might not at first seem like they'll further your art. Children do things because they are fun, plain and simple. Find ways to have fun.
Children are less self-critical. My five-year old daughter thinks every drawing she does is a masterpiece. Hey, they are! She is effortlessly productive in her creativity. When I taught 4th and 5th grades, I noticed kids at this age suddenly feel self-conscious about their drawings and writing. Something happens in our brain development around this age that starts cutting on certain censors and inhibitions. But to be artistically productive, we have to find a way around these negative voices in our heads. Don't let fear of embarrassment stifle your creativity. Don't quit a project because of self-doubt. Take risks with your art. Be willing to be silly and uninhibited. The world is full of critics. Ignore them.
Children are more intuitive. We live in a world where massive amounts of data and information are available. Logic and fact reign supreme. This can overwhelm our decisions. My daughter however has never met a fairy, but she believes in them completely. Children accept magic as part of the world. They follow their own intuitive rules. Kids operate on the gut-level. When you can get away from artistic decisions based on market research and facts about what the public supposedly wants, you'll discover your best ideas are inside you. Trust your artistic instincts. You are your own best judge of what is a good idea to pursue.
Children are comfortable with ambiguity. Hand an adult a stick and ask them what it is. They'll say a stick. Give a stick to a child and they might say it's a wand, a tent pole, a pirate's sword, a dragon bone, or a million other creative responses. When Picasso picked up a pair of bicycle handles, he saw a bull's horns. Paul McCartney dreamed one night about scrambled eggs and created the song "Yesterday." While uncertainty makes most of us uncomfortable, ambiguity can be a rich source of creativity. Ask open-ended questions like "what if…?" Ponder to your nightly dreams. Look at the world with curiosity. When you can see beyond what something is, you'll discover the unexpected possibilities in the ordinary.
Children cultivate broad interests. When I ask my daughter what she wants to be when she grows up, she'll say an artist, a dancer, a teacher, and a scientist. All of them, and often more. As we get older, we tend to cultivate certain narrow interests. We begin to say, "I'm not good at that." We put our talents and pursuits in smaller and smaller categories. But children are fascinated by a wide range of topics. Dinosaurs. Soccer. Trains. Outer space. Cooking. Painting. Animals. They are interested in lots of things. Kids are also quick to say, "I can do that." As adults, we shouldn't limit ourselves. Have a broad-range of interests (especially new interests, remember?) and you'll have a bigger tool box for creative ideas. And a variety of interests allows for more cross-pollination of ideas across topics.
Whatever our creative pursuits—whether in the arts, our jobs, our hobbies, our lives—we have a lot to learn from children. I hope these six suggestions will help you get back in touch with your inner child, your most imaginative and most wildly creative self.
Come out to Raleigh's Artsplosure festival next week for some inspiration and fun. I hope you'll join me over at the Kidsplosure stage on Sunday, May 19 at 1 pm where I'll be sharing about my books and what has inspired my creative life.

The collapse in oil prices happening in near-tandem with the stock market blowout means that motorists should see pump prices drop as much as 25-50 cents a gallon over the next several weeks, energy experts said.
While that might sound like great economic news, the underlying reasons are anything but. Oil prices have fallen on expectations that the world's economies are headed for a rough patch, which would reduce demand not only for oil and gasoline but also for employees and for things that businesses make and sell.

10-Foot Sculpture Stolen From Church
Associated Press - Thu 09:59 AM 10/04/2012
The statue was stolen early Wednesday from a memorial garden in front of the First Congregational Church.
Topeka police are looking for a 10-foot-tall bronze statue called "Forgiven Man" after it was stolen from a church.
The statue was stolen early Wednesday from a memorial garden in front of the First Congregational Church. Police say they received a call from a witness who saw two men load the statue into a pickup truck.
Police say the bronze statue is worth $10,000. The thieves also did about $400 damage to a concrete bench and sign at the church.
The church's pastor, Tobias Schlingensiepen says he believes the statute is worth more than $10,000.
Schlingensiepen is the Democratic nominee for the 2nd Congressional District seat. But he says he's sure the theft had
nothing to do with politics.

OK"Dead Souls" is a wonderful book. It has all the wit and linguistic dexterity of Dickens, and still is utterly and completely Russian. The elusive "Russian spirit" is on every page. Truly a masterpiece, presented here in a very good translation. The reader does an excellent job, too; his voices do slip here and there, but never for more than a second or two.
There is, however, one thing to note about this audiobook: Gogol intended this to be a three-volume work. In his lifetime, he only published the first volume. He apparently wrote some of the second part, but then burned it. Now, it seems that some fragments of this second part have survived, and these are included in the audiobook. Listening to that half of the audiobook isn't really enjoyable: every time you start to follow the plot, the narrator says "at this point there is a long hiatus in the original" and jumps off to a much later part of the story, complete with new and unfamiliar characters and full of references to events you have no knowledge of. I think the audiobook would have been better without this rather pointless second part, and would recommend stopping after the first.
First, a few technical notes:
- The translation used in the audiobook is the one by Constance Garnett.
- The actual length of the book is about 61 hours, since the last four hours (the epilogues) are repeated twice.
The narrator (whose real name was David Case -- he passed away in 2005) seems to provoke extreme reactions: some people can't stand him, others can't get enough of him. I happen to belong to the second class, and I believe he is especially suited for this novel. However, if you find his voice as irritating as some of the other reviewers, you should probably go for another version.
And now for the book itself. In "The Brothers Karamazov", Dostoyevsky writes: "Show a Russian schoolboy a map of the stars, which he knows nothing about, and he will give you back the map next day with corrections on it." Tolstoy is the ideal to which all such schoolboys aspire, and "War and Peace" is his greatest achievement. Not only is this immense work a novel, it is a place for Tolstoy to expound his views on the causes and persons of the Napoleonic wars, on the methods of historical research, on free will and (of course) the existence of God. I can't say that I found everything convincing or even interesting -- for example, he takes a lot of pains to demonstrate the Napoleon was not a military genius but a blundering fool -- but for the sheer complexity and ambition of this work I cannot help but award it five stars.
First things first: the narrator, Neville Jason, is wonderful. With an extremely pleasant voice and impeccable diction, he takes care to give each character a clearly distinct voice and accent. So if you're looking for a reading of Candide and/or Zadig, this one is a great choice.
As for the books -- enough has been written about them in the past 250 years, so I'll keep my review to the bottom line. Candide is a masterpiece. Like Gulliver's Travels with a punchline. Very very good. The ending is brilliant and still inspiring after all these years. Zadig is a little less to my taste, though still very well written. The central question in it seems to be "how can bad things happen to good people" and the answer given is "God works in mysterious ways". I personally like Candide's reply to this better.
I never read this book as a child. Neither was it read to me and I thought that Peter Pan was a cartoo character until I was an adult. I missed out.
If you have children then buy the book and read it to them. If you can't or won't then the next best thing is to let Jim Dale read it to them for you. His delivery is excellent and carries just the right balance of restraint and enthusiasm.
An excellent presentation of a classic story.

HTTP proxy with caching and content filtering on a bridge
Caching proxies remember web pages and serve them up locally, saving both money and time. The most intelligent members of this family also remove dangerous content and provide transparent bridging.
When several users on the same network access the Internet multiple times for the same page, you pay a price in time and bandwidth. A caching proxy reduces traffic by storing web pages requested by users and serving them on request. A caching HTTP proxy like Squid [1] runs in Layer 7 of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model; in other words, the Squid proxy server speaks the application protocol and can recognize the payload data. The proxy is thus capable of checking the content of a page and providing content filtering. Depending on the target direction, a proxy can either block access to undesirable pages, such as adult content on school networks, or it can keep malware out of an enterprise network.

Our nuclear programmes are completely transparent.

text: The New and Easy Way with Ziptrak® Blind System For many people it is a difficult task to operate big window blinds or patio awnings. CONVENTIONAL SPRING LOADED BLINDS have to be pulled down and held against the tension of the springs while the operator moves from side to side to fasten the bottom of the blind by means of buckles or leather straps. This can be quite CUMBERSOME. It is also extremely TIME CONSUMING for commercial operations. THAT'S WHY THE ZIPTRAK® BLIND SYSTEM WAS DEVELOPED THE IDEAL SOLUTION: Ziptrak® Guided Blind System - VERTICAL SCREENING MADE EASY AND QUICK TO OPERATE. What is unique about the ZIPTRAK® BLIND SYSTEM and sets it apart from any other are it's specially designed slotted side tracks between which the blind glides smoothly and easily up or down and stops at whatever position you require. Extrusions are manufactured from high-quality aluminium and are powder coated to choice of colour. To PROTECT your Verandah or Patio from WIND and RAIN - while enjoying the view - you may use CLEAR or TINTED Quality PVC. |

The data that is stored within a cache might be values that have been computed earlier or duplicates of original values that are stored elsewhere. If requested data is contained in the cache (cache hit), this request can be served by simply reading the cache, which is comparatively faster. Otherwise (cache miss), the data has to be recomputed or fetched from its original storage location, which is comparatively slower. Hence, the greater the number of requests that can be served from the cache, the faster the overall system performance becomes.'' Thanks Sachin. I tried it and it really works fast.

Open University
The Open University of Tampere University of Technology (TUT) offers everyone the opportunity to pursue higher education regardless of their previous qualifications.
The Open University promotes lifelong learning and the University's commitment to social responsibility. In order to successfully complete their studies, Open University students are generally required to have a good command of the subject matter taught at upper secondary school (or other equivalent level).
The Open University's learning activities take place in a classroom setting and comprise lectures, assignments and examinations. Students are free to complete either individual courses or entire study modules. Studies at the Open University cost 10 euros per credit. The courses arranged by the Open University are held on TUT's campus in Hervanta, Tampere. There are no distant learning possibilities available.
Courses available at the Open University
Almost all the courses that are arranged for regular degree students at Tampere University of Technology are also available to students at TUT's Open University. In addition, the Open University offers some courses that are held in the evenings.
TUT's online study guides are the easiest way to browse our course offerings. The International Course Catalogue provides detailed information on individual courses. Evening courses and courses taking place in the summer are listed in the Open University's own online study guide. All the courses take place in a classroom setting, as TUT's Open University does not offer online courses.
Study guides
- The International Course Catalogue 2013-2014 provides detailed information on individual courses (in English)
The International Course Catalogue 2012-2013 provides detailed information on individual courses (in English)
The Open University's online study guide 2012-2013 lists courses that are held in the evenings and from April onwards also the courses arranged in the summer (mainly in Finnish)
Summer courses
TUT's summer courses are arranged by the Open University. The application period for courses held in summer 2013 runs from 12 April to 12 May 2013. Summer courses are primarily held in the daytime and tend to be more intensive than courses arranged during the academic year. The Study Guide provides information about contents of the courses. Summer courses are mainly held in Finnish.
Application deadlines and the online application system
Students apply for admission to Open University courses through an online application system. The application deadlines vary depending on the teaching period.
The deadlines for applying for admission to courses held in the academic year 2013-2014 are as follows (deadline at 23:59):
- Courses starting in the 1st period: Thursday, 22 August 2013
- Courses starting in the 2nd period: Sunday, 6 October 2013
- Courses starting in the 3rd period: Thursday, 02 January 2014
- Courses starting in the 4th period: Sunday, 23 February 2014
- Summer courses:
the application period opens on 11 April and closes on 11 May 2014
Enrolling as a student
Applications are processed at TUT's Student Services Office. The decisions, letters of acceptance, enrolment forms and further instructions are made available to the applicants via the online application system.
After receiving the letter of acceptance, you must enrol as a student at the Open University by submitting the enrolment form and payment receipt, or a copy thereof, to the Student Services Office. Applicants who do not submit the enrolment form forfeit their right to pursue studies at the Open University. The fees of all the courses that are listed in the application must be paid as a lump sum. This is why applicants are recommended to submit a separate application for each semester. If you want to complete language courses or architecture courses that are arranged in the daytime, please make sure that there are places available before paying the course fees. The payment of the course fee indicates that you will participate in the course. The fees cannot be refunded.
Open University students are not eligible for student benefits and discounts, because they are not members of TUT's Student Union. Only degree students are entitled to receive discounts at the student restaurants and use the sports services available on campus.
Study right and user account
Students are granted the right to study at the Open University for two semesters. Attending a given course requires that you have paid the course fee. After you have enrolled as a student, your personal information will be entered into the Student Register. Each student is assigned a student number when they enrol for the first time. Your student number will remain the same throughout your studies. Please contact the Student Services Office to inquire about your student number.
Open University students receive a username and password that give them access to the student portal (POP). You can either obtain them through a web service (further instructions will be provided during your enrolment) or collect them from the IT Helpdesk (Main Building, 2nd floor) after you have enrolled. You will be required to present official ID when collecting your username and password. Students use POP to view their enrolment data and credits and to register for examinations.
Students receive an official transcript of records upon completion of their studies. The transcript may be collected from the Student Services Office. If you are later on admitted as a regular degree student at Tampere University of Technology via an entrance examination or the so-called Open University Tracks, the courses that you have completed at the Open University may be counted towards your degree.
Study guidance and counselling
TUT's study guidance and counselling services are also available to Open University students. You can make an appointment to see the student counsellor to discuss your curriculum choices and ask questions about your studies in general. The student counsellor's office is located on the second floor of the Main Building.

Northern Virginia Software Symposium
November 6 - 8, 2009 - Reston, VA
View the event details here ».
Transaction Pitfalls and Strategies
In previous years I have given sessions related to my book "Java Transaction Design Strategies", where I have reviewed the basics of programmatic and declarative transactions and outlined the basic patterns described in the book. In this new session for 2009 I will focus on some of the pitfalls encountered while dealing with transactions and then how to develop an effective transaction strategy. I will start this session by describing and illustrating some of the common pitfalls I continue to see in both Spring and EJB. I will then describe four common transaction strategies you can use and implement, including a transaction strategy for high-speed transactions, a transaction strategy for client orchestration, a transaction strategy for use with API's, and finally a strategy for highly concurrent environments.
Note: This session assumes you know a little bit about transactions and have been using them in either Spring or EJB. It is not intended to be an introductory session on how transactions work. You can obtain a free PDF download of my transaction book at http://www.infoq.com/minibooks/JTDS to quickly come up to speed with transactions.
Agenda - Introduction - Common Transaction Pitfalls - API Transaction Strategy - Client Orchestration Transaction Strategy - High Concurrency Transaction Strategy - High Speed Transaction Strategy
Prerequisite: Java, Spring or EJB; some knowledge of transactions and JTA.

I've been looking for good RPs for a while. The few I end up liking are all filled.
I have an idea of having people living in a quarantined city.
Correct me if I am wrong....
But every roleplay I look at seems to be booked solid. I am new to the Advanced section but always considered myself to be an Advanced writer. I can type up to four paragraphs, of ten to twelve sentences, and I try my best to give great detail. Since it's quality over quantity.
But, if you are looking for someone to filled a position, want to share ideas or whatever. I am always here.

If you've ever wanted to see a live performance by a Grammy-nominated vocalist, the Mount Airy Museum of Regional History is the place to be today.
The museum is hosting its 15th Annual Holiday Open House, an event Director Matt Edwards said is one of his favorites.
"This is the museum's annual gift to the community," he said. "This free annual event is a great opportunity to come and see the museum decorated and spruced up for the holiday season."
The open house is scheduled from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and is a chance for the public to come out and enjoy the museum.
During the event, visitors can tour four floors of museum exhibits, browse themed Christmas trees, shop for holiday gifts and enjoy light refreshments and live holiday music.
But for the first time this year, the annual holiday event will also feature a performance by Grammy - nominated Celtic performer Alicia Merritt.
Merritt, a Baltimore native, moved to Mount Airy from the Memphis area in 2009, and is teaching at North Stokes High School.
She, along with her band, the Alicia Merritt Ceilidh Band, was nominated for a Grammy in 1998 for their album, "Celtic Dream."
Merritt is scheduled to perform at 1 p.m.
In addition to the Grammy-nominated performance, the museum will be hosting a number of additional programs and performances throughout the open house, including performances by student musicians and Old-Time artists including Johnny Gentry and BackStep.
At 1:30 p.m., Briana Duensing, a senior piano major at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, will present a program to honor the sesquicentennial of the Civil War. Duensing, performing as "Bonnie Blue Briana," will perform selections of patriotic songs, music celebrating victories, slave songs often incorporating code words about escape and freedom, and songs of mourning and longing for home and peace.
"Music played a big part in the lives of Civil War soldiers and the people at home, so Briana's performance will also include storytelling interspersed with musical selections," Edwards said.
The museum is also working with the Mount Airy Young Professional to bring Santa to the open house this year.
Santa will be available from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. in the Children's Gallery. Guests are encouraged to bring a can of food for charity and their cameras to h-ave a photo made with the Jolly Old Elf.
For more information, contact the museum at 786-4478.
Reach Keith Strange at firstname.lastname@example.com or 719-1929.

Carl Perkins - Birth of Rock'n'Roll
"Taped in September of 1985 this was used in the tv special "Class of 55 - A Rock'n'Roll Homecoming", that was filmed mostly on sacred Rock'n'Roll ground: the famous Sun studio and the American Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
In this clip Carl Perkins talks about writing "Blue Suede Shoes" and sings the self-penned "Birth of Rock'n'Roll". It's also on the album "Class of 55".
The video has never been released, wich is a shame, and I bet there is so much more material in the vaults to make a nice dvd for the fans. "
