Women's preview: Atlantic Sun Conference
Kennesaw State's women's golf team received a big boost this winter when the team added freshmen Kaew Preamchuen and Ines Lescudier.
And with less than two months before the Owls begin their spring season, head coach Rhyll Brinsmead is looking for the newcomers to make immediate impacts.
"We're super excited about it," Brinsmead said. "I expect both of them to crack the starting lineup immediately,"
Preamchuen, the younger sister of Kennesaw State junior Ket Preamchuen, was Thailand's player of the year in 2008 and placed sixth at the Gate American Junior Golf Championship in December. Lescudier, a Tulane transfer, was the fifth-ranked player in the French Amateur rankings during the fall.
"They're going to add some much-needed depth," Brinsmead said. "We've gotten through the last couple years with five or six players. This spring, we'll have eight, which is the most I've had in six seasons."
Kennesaw State had an inconsistent fall season, finishing no better than sixth in four tournaments.
The Owls showed potential at the Susan Maxwell Berning Classic in October, shooting season-best rounds of 10-over 298 and 6-over 294 to enter the final round in sixth place. But a 22-over 310 hindered Kennesaw State's climb up the leaderboard and the Owls finished sixth.
"We put ourselves in a good position and then sort of faltered in the final round, and that's something we've talked about a lot," Brinsmead said. "Heading into the spring, we've been working on putting it all together."
Kennesaw State, which is led by junior Ket Preamchuen (75.5 stroke average) and freshman Lea Charpier (76.4), will open the spring at the UCF Challenge Feb. 12 -14 in Sorrento, Fla.
Brinsmead preached consistency to her team during the break and hopes the Owls, ranked No. 70 in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings, can improve on a runner-up finish at last year's Atlantic Sun Conference Championship.
"I've got eight players who can shoot par on any given day and I honestly believe that," Brinsmead said. "My message to the girls will be that we don't have to go out there and do anything special. If we play consistently, play steady and go out there and play smart golf, I'm pretty confident that we'll walk away with that championship."

Conference capsules
East Tennessee State (No. 62)Sophomore Sian Evans had two top 5 finishes and freshman Gabriella Wahl added a runner-up finish this fall for the Buccaneers, who finished no worse than sixth in each of their five events. |
Kennesaw State (No. 70)Owls notched three top 10 finishes in four fall tournaments. Junior Ket Preamchuen, ranked No. 144 in Golfweek's rankings, was Kennesaw State's highest individual finisher in three of four events and finished the fall with a 75.5 stroke average. |
Mercer (No. 112)Bears recorded three top 5 finishes in four fall events, including a win at the Eat a Peach Collegiate in which Mercer swept the top 5 places individually (Sophomore Lacey Fears took medalist honors). Sophomore Mary Alice Murphy finished at least third three times. |
Stetson (No. 114)Hatters, who have won past three conference titles, compiled one win and five top 5 finishes in their five fall events. Senior Alexandria Buelow, who notched two tournament victories, leads the team with a 72.8 average. |
Florida Gulf Coast (No. 165)Capped fall season with a fourth-place finish at the Hatter Classic in November. |
Jacksonville (No. 182)Dolphins finished third at Hatter Classic to notch second top 3 of the fall. |
Belmont (No. 189)Junior Janet Steen's 75.7 average and three top 10 finishes lead a Bruins squad that totaled three top 5 finishes in five fall events. |
South Carolina Upstate (No. 206)Spartans had just one top 5 and no golfer cracked the top 10 in five events during the fall. |
Lipscomb (No. 228)Bison finished eighth in each of their three fall tournaments. |
Conference championshipAtlantic Sun Championship, April 9-11, Venetian Bay GC, New Smyrna Beach, Fla. |
Lance Ringler's predictionKennesaw State. How do you not pick Stetson? The Hatters have been one of the surprise teams in conference championship play the past few seasons. Again, this year Stetson will enter the spring and certainly the A-Sun Championship not being labeled the favorite and try to steal the spotlight by winning the title. But, this year it will be the Owls of Kennesaw State representing the A-Sun in the postseason. |

Swiss prospect looking for a positive note in Helsinki
KLOTEN, Switzerland 19-year-old forward Nino Niederreiter is one of three NHL players on the Swiss roster. After his first year with the New York Islanders, the youngster is looking to develop further at the 2012 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship.Niederreiter already had some ice time at the Worlds two years ago as a junior, but now hes expected to get a bigger role.Its great that hes here. He came two years ago to us as a 17-year-old. He had a good camp. He only played two games only, but he was just 17, national team coach Sean Simpson said after a practice in the Zurich suburb of Kloten. There are not many people who play even one game in the Worlds when theyre 17 years old. Hes a very mature 19-year-old now.There was much hype about Niederreiter in 2010 when he had a great junior season both with the WHLs Portland Winterhawks, but also when he helped eliminate Russia in the World Junior quarter-finals in Saskatoon by scoring two goals for Switzerland.Some months later he became the highest drafted Swiss player ever, going fifth overall. The New York Islanders sent him down to the junior team after nine games, but 2011/2012 became his first NHL season, although he scored just one goal in 55 games.On one hand I can be happy, on the other hand the season was disappointing, the Chur native said. I was injured two times and always had to battle hard to get on the line-up and stay there. But in the end Im happy I could play the full season in the NHL. I was able to learn a lot and I was happy I wasnt sent back to the juniors.Playing on a defensive fourth line probably didnt fit that much to his style, but he said he improved in several areas to become NHL-readier next season, practising one-on-one situations, battling along the boards and staying mentally strong.We discussed, coach and player, and said: Let this be a positive end of the season, with a positive and good role for us at the World Championship! And that he can take this positive experience into the summer and get ready for the next season in the NHL, Simpson said about Niederreiters situation. I think thats his goal. He wants to help Switzerland be as successful as it can, but I think he also wants to have a good ending.Hes only 19. You should want to play all the time when youre that old, and anytime you get the chance to play hockey in May or June when youre not in the playoffs.In fellow countryman Mark Streit, who captains both the Swiss national team and the Islanders, Niederreiter had kind of a mentor on Long Island who speaks the same language. Streit is another NHL player who joined the Swiss national team. The third one is Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa. The trio practised on one line that also included centre Andres Ambühl and winger Roman Wick, two players from the Swiss National League A who once tried their luck in North America.It was great that Mark was there. I lived at his place for the first two weeks until I got my own apartment. We often went out for dinner and had a good time, said Niederreiter. Its good that hes also here. It would be a long off-season from April to October. Its good for him that he came and its great for the team.While some NHL players might prefer beaches to hockey rinks at that time of the year, Niederreiter would even not think about taking a vacation. And he doesnt forget where he comes from, even following the scores of EHC Chur, even though his hometown team plays just in the third tier after bankruptcy.Its always special to represent your nation. Im extremely glad and proud to be on the team, Niederreiter said. Its also good for me to get more ice time and experience. The more youre on the ice, the more you can learn. Its a good experience to play at the World Championship and its also good to be here because I want to play at the Sochi Olympics.For Niederreiter it will be the first tournament in Finland, but not the first time he has played there.As a junior I was once in Vierumäki, Niederreiter remembered the IIHF Hockey Development Camp. The best three juniors from our age group were sent there to represent Switzerland and we had games with juniors from many other nations, also countries like Japan or Turkey. It was fun.Swiss fans are looking to Niederreiter and others to put pucks in the net. Offensive production has been a weakness of many Swiss national teams in the past. But a new generation of up and coming players offer a ray of hope.Sven Bärtschi, another Swiss first-round draft pick, played five NHL games and scored three goals during an emergency call-up from the juniors by the Calgary Flames this season, but he will likely miss the Worlds while battling for junior honours in Canada with Niederreiters ex-team, Portland.Another interesting forward is Damien Brunner, who became the first Swiss-trained scoring leader in the National League A in 30 years and plans to sign with an NHL team after the World Championship. In a country known for producing world-class goalies and defencemen, players like Brunner and Niederreiter represent an opportunity to take the national team to the next level.Swiss hockey has become better and the sport has become bigger in Switzerland, Niederreiter explained the changes. More and more players try to cross the Ocean, either through the juniors or the Swiss league. Before me players like Michel Riesen or Reto von Arx didnt have their breakthrough in the NHL. Thats how it became my dream to make it. And Im on my way, but I have to continue to work hard on myself.The national team camp began well for Niederreiter as Switzerland defeated Sweden on the opponents ice in two exhibition games and El Nino even scored two goals.He wants to play, hes motivated. He wants to get the games under his belt, get on the big ice surface again and really become part of the team right away, coach Simpson said. He scored two goals in the second game in Sweden, and also on the ice in the camp you can see his big confidence in there. Hes a big body, he goes to the net, he has all the skills thats why he was the fifth overall pick.On Sunday Switzerland lost an exhibition game to Canada 2-1 in shootout. The teams will face each other against on Tuesday in Kloten in what will be the last pre-event game for both teams before travelling to Helsinki.Switzerland is the fourth-seeded team in its preliminary-round group, but lower-seeded opponents like Slovakia or Belarus will be eager to challenge the Swiss for a quarter-final berth while the Swiss hope to upset one of the big teams in turn: Canada, Finland and the United States. And Niederreiter will be carrying hope to have a better offensive yield than last year when the Swiss lost the quarter-final berth to Norway.The fans are going to be very happy, Simpson said about his youngest player. Id think hes going to have a very good tournament. Hes going to work hard every game, hes going to play for the team every game. Theyre going to see a highly motivated player. With his skill level thats a dangerous combination.MARTIN MERK

Poured into Russian River wine glass.
Pours a hazy light yellow with fizzy white head that bubbles out to nothing leaving behind the sight of rising bubbles immediately bursting when reaching the top.
The aroma on this stands out. Big fruity grape is the dominant character, not unlike grape bubblegum. A fruity white wine also present with subtle oak tannins. No funk apparent on the nose. Mostly lacto work, possibly pedio
On the palate you get more of the same with fruity grape, Pinot Grigio, some vanilla from the oak, and just straight oak tannins.
Mouthfeel is overall where it should be for the style but I feel like the flavors here call for a fuller body.
So while this is a great beer I think it can get a bit one note. As is the case for me with Cascade in general. This may be the last Cascade I buy. The price point on their beers just doesn't seem to back up what they deliver. Either that or they need to do 375's at half the price. Cascade, learn to work the brettanomyces,,, please. Not wanting to be over critical as it's a pleasant beer, but not top tier or close for that matter.

Poured from the bottle into a tulip glass. Vintage 2012.
A deep apricot orange body, with some nice yellow hues along the edges. Lots of noticeable carbonation coming up in the middle, but not as frequent as some of the best lambics I've had. No head presented when pouring, and just barely the thinnest pencil head of a collar getting repopulated while sitting.
Nice fruit aroma. Soft apples, and juicy grape, lots of cidery action and senses. An interesting faint caramel sweetness and soft vanilla as well. Clean.
Palate comes a bit wet, but with playful carbonation. Very light bodied flavors of tart apple and grape. Cider and crisp juice on the palate with much of the flavor in the front of the mouth. Minimal tartness and a lacking sense of any depth though. There's a hint of mild funk on the aftertaste though that brings more enjoyment.
Overall it's a neat beer, but it's lacking a bit and may be past it's prime. It's fruit composition though is nice, but it also reminds me a bit too much like cider which I am not the biggest fan of. Still decent.

Dear Travis, farewell my friend,
Who knew Bourbon would do him in.
I did
If we can dream it, we can do it
Poor old 7th Avenue
He should not have kissed girls with the flu
lots of words rhyme with Tinker Bell,
but I can't think of one.
If we can dream it, we can do it
I thought of a few but she didn't like some of them
I couldn't think of many that rhymed with Travis.
Here rests Tinker Bell, finally at ease,
If only she hadn't disturbed those bees...

Not being able to see my Daddy and my boyfriend.
probably not have a christmas like the ones on the tv commercials
I don't like receiving gifts. I don't know why...I don't dread it, but I'd rather give the gifts.
man thats one of my favorite things and there is no snow and probably won't be :(
like we can get a tornado and it doesn't even hit my school
we can get storms but still school
i just want snow cause its so kool looking and plus maybe a snow day
i goto pattonvile
@boondox, I teach in the Springfield area. I really am going this time. I would hate to have to explain to my principal why I was socializing when I should be getting my students!!
crazy people :)
all i need is some ear plugs/beats and something to knock me out
but they are always crazy so yea.
Not getting any presents. I usually don't and I feel bad after. when I do though it's only like a shirt.
That I am not spending it with my family.
Family drama. I just want to scream "Chill out and love each other, you bo0bs!"
I guess the main thing is that I won't be able to see everyone I love on Christmas. Christmas is about being with the ones you love and that won't happen this year.
Not being able to spend it with any family this year but luckily with friends who are in the same circumstance.
Ten pounds heavier, a lot of money lighter and the usual letdown blues.
Being all alone...single, no family, and friends are with their family.
Choice of gifts to buy or give because people are becoming more and more picky and may not appreciate. Sad to say but many individuals mis-take the purpose and intent of gifts.
Its so fake and commercial now. Nobody knows what the true meaning of Christmas anymore its all about what did I get.
Ice!!!. nd because.. i was recently in a car accident!
Well, it used to be going to the pain in the butt in-laws. But since the unwanted divorce,
at least that's better now.
i guess buying for all my 10 cousins why, its really hard 6 of them are boys and 4 are girls its hard knowing what all of them like
Being alone and far away from my parents and siblings.

A driver was killed Friday in Monroe County when a van sped through a highway rest area, hitting a camper.
Police say 86-year-old John Pollock was driving a 2001 Pontiac mini-van and was killed when he exited the highway into the rest area at exit 9 off of US 23. Pollock apparently continued into the rest area at a high rate of speed and collided with a parked camper, which was towing a trailer. Pollock was pronounced dead at the scene.
It is unclear why he was traveling so quickly in the rest area parking lot. Two people inside the camper were unharmed in the accident.
The crash remains under investigation. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call 734-240-7551.

Fiona Oakes, Vegan, Wins Women's Race in North Pole Marathon - Jasmijn de Boo, Vegan Society CEO
Picture the scene. It's freezing outside. You're sitting on your sofa, snuggled under your favourite blanket, with your fingers wrapped around a mug of hot tea. Would you be keen for a jog in the snow? A few hours of exercise on the ice? How about nipping up to the North Pole to run a marathon?
On her Facebook page Fiona said the day after the race:
"Hi guys, back in Spitsbergen. Job done! It is so cold and brutal in the Arctic I cannot explain. Marathon + Arctic conditions = TOUGH! I knew it was going to be bad but just how bad I couldn't possibly have prepared for. Not just the consequences of running at -30 with a wind chill but for half the course through deep snow.
I haven't got the longest legs in the world and kept falling it was so deep as when you put your foot on it you didn't know if it was frozen enough to take your weight. On one occasion I sank up to my groin, on another I fell on my hand and now have a suspected fractured thumb. [...] Never mind, job done, win in the women's race, new course record and 3rd overall. Can't ask for any more. X"
Everyone has a price. For top athlete Fiona Oakes, it's her unshakable dedication to the vegan diet and lifestyle that gets her off the sofa on those cold, dark, winter nights. She was raising awareness for her own Tower Hill Stables Animal Sanctuary where she cares for 400 animals and The Vegan Society, of which she is an Honorary Patron. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Godsmack Live Concert
I'm watching some of the old Godsmack concerts on YouTube and I imagine myself jumping there in the crowd.
I cant wait to go to the concert,that seems so unbelievable at the moment...
Godsmackers,post some videos from the concert that you have been on.
Let us see the atmosphere from at least second hand :)

RE: Godsmack Live Concert
Find the footage from HOB MB last August!! Little Nikki stagediving is awesome. We were there and although I had seen GS before at CrueFest I was way back on the lawn and couldn't really see them. For this show we were right up front on the steps and it was so great. Will never miss them again if I can help it, counting down the days until April 13th for the Augusta show

Linux in Government: Optimizing Desktop Performance, Part I
On a default Linux configuration, distributors provide six text-mode virtual consoles. You can access each console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 through Ctrl+Alt+F6; Ctrl+Alt+F7 switches to the graphical desktop. Each virtual console consumes memory.
Virtual consoles attracted me to Linux and they are one of my favorite features. But, I don't use those consoles much. I like having an extra one so I can get to a graphic terminal if I need, but as a desktop user, I don't need six.
I edit /etc/inittab (see Figure 2) and commented out four or so of the six lines that spawn gettys. This allows me to free up more memory to use with my OpenOffice.org productivity suite, which we'll reconfigure in a few moments.
One of the major complaints that I hear is how long it takes the OpenOffice.org applications to launch. You can add a quickstart applet to GNOME by installing the program ooqstart- gnome, which may help some. However, an internal adjustment to OOo Writer can improve the entire suite's performance.
To accomplish this, you need to start the word processor, Writer. Next, you need to open the Tools drop-down menu and select options. Once you open the options box, you are ready to adjust the memory and speed up your Linux productivity suite. Let's look at Figure 3.
In the above figure, you can see that we selected the first expansion box and then clicked Memory with our mouse. This exposed the window you see in Figure 3. I changed the default values under the Graphics cache for Use for OpenOffice.org and Memory per Object. I increased the first value from 6 to 128MB. I also increased the second value from .5 to 20MB.
After clicking OK, I closed the word processor and reopened it two times. On each occasion, the application took less time to open. Under Ubuntu, I found that OO Writer opened in three seconds, and in Fedora it opened in less than six seconds. Previously, it took 30 and 26 seconds, respectively, for the word processor to launch.
Due to space limitations, we have to break this discussion of optimizations into different parts. Hopefully, the first article enables you to make improvements in your desktop's performance. Each change we make in future articles will have a cumulative effect, and soon you will see your entire Linux operating system in a new way--as a fast desktop.
Tom Adelstein works as an Analyst with Hiser+Adelstein, headquartered in New York City. He's the co-author of the book Exploring the JDS Linux Desktop and author of an upcoming book on Linux system administration, to be published by O'Reilly and Associates. Tom has been consulting and writing articles and books about Linux since early 1999.
Uh... yeah.
Just like it is in every other distro. They all use the same base kernel, you know.
Start from the beginning...
Actually, very few general purpose Linux distributions use kernel.org stock kernels, and this has been the case for a long time. Execute 'uname -a' and you will see some distro-specific suffix on your kernel image that designates the patchset used.
On a similar note, not all 2.6.x kernels will export this vm control to the /proc interface. In general, the vm.swappiness variable is a control unique to the "O(1)" process scheduler used by default in the vanilla 2.6.x kernel. Readers should be aware that this is not the only option, and I will give some plugs to some of my favorite patchsets specifically crafted for desktop use:
ck: my favorite for mainstream desktop workloads, this patchset used Con Kolivas' Staircase process scheduler, which is designed to reduce latency in a concise and understandable manner. Read the website for more details, including its simple /proc variables:
cko: just like ck, but for those who can't sleep at night unless their kernel is dripping blood on the edges. This is what I use, because the Staircase + Reiser4 combo makes my Inspiron 500m sing. Also has vesa-tng framebuffer, Inotify kernelspace message passing, and the latest ALSA drivers built in. Also try the split-off Software Suspend 2 patch for cko, which allows for a suspend that resembles what Microsoft calls Hibernate.
nitro: similar to cko, but with genetic scheduling and some other goodies, and it's available as an ebuild for Gentoo.
love: Lovechild has his own ideas about low-latency linux kernels, based on Ingo Molnar's real-time preemption and Completely Fair Queing. In particular, he doesn't like Reiser4 for interactivity, and instead recommends a tweaked version of ext3:
I hope this was a useful introduction to desktop linux performance issues, and highlights the massive body of work that is being done to implement and test next-generation code that will speed-up desktop linux. It all starts with the kernel, and any multi-part guide to getting the most out of your desktop linux should start with picking a filesystem and picking a kernel source tree to work with. The differences can be night and day.
Of course, it is very easy to compile a kernel that will not boot or work correctly with your existing Linux system. If you don't know if your system uses devfs or udev, or what filesystem(s) your system lives on, or how to load a kernel module, then this guide will be a little over your head. If you want to learn about kernel configuration, check out what you're running on now:
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
Good luck!!
I think the poster is referring to the apparent typo in the article, where it says "/proc/sys/vm/swappinessd".
If you wanted OOo to be reall
If you wanted OOo to be really fast, you could store it on a RamDisk. Such is the power of Linux :)
The problem with this, as it
The problem with this, as it touched on earlier in this thread, is that allocating memory to a ramdisk is sometimes silly. It just means that everything else in the system will has less physical ram to play with. i.e. the swap will be used more often. The operating system should decide which files are being used and cache them - it can almost certainly do a better job than you can.
load OO into the RAM...
I would be very curious to learn how exactly (=> details !) you would achieve that !
Michael Bischof
I'd rather have a "swappy" desktop system
When I'm "multitasking" in the human sense of the word, sometimes I have a big graphic open in the GIMP, and I need to compile something.
If the kernel was willing to be "swappier" it would take all those pixels I wasn't working on at the time, and park them on disk while using RAM for disk buffers to make the compile faster.
How to tell if the system is swapping too much:
It does do this. Just not in
It does do this. Just not instantly. Imagine if as soon as you started to compile it immediately swapped out everything else. What if you decided you wanted to edit your image again, and it then had to swap it back in. What this thread is about is building a responsive desktop system. This means that it is responsive, and when you click something, you get an immediate response. It is not about getting the absolute fastest kernel compile times...
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

I'm in the process of purchasing a home. The living room is quite small and not much wall space, it also has a fireplace and out cove which used to be the front porch.
I'm having a hard time imagining a layout that is both stylish and functional (keeping in mind a television needs to go somewhere and in a place where it's easy to see).
To add on to Mrs. Peacock's wonderful layout, you could add more seating, by putting a third chair (or small couch depending on the space) "floating" in the room and facing the fireplace, but back in the room from the 2 chairs in Mrs. Peacock's design. You would have to eliminate the bookcase if you add the additional seating to the living room.
Well, I got to say that this one could be tough. What I see is to leave the tv where it is now in the little room with a chair (or a loveseat) where the lazy boy chair is and another chair that swivels so you could be facing into the living room or turn to watch tv. Put another chair in the corner by the vase with the dried sticks in it and a small side table between it and the fireplace to create a conversation area around the fireplace. A small area rug in front of the fireplace would help define the space. Then, I would put in a bookshelf type cabinet along the wall where the sofa is now and across from it and in front of the radiator, put a small round table (similar to the one in the picture) to hold the mail, keys, etc. This would be a great place to have fresh flower arrangements. Another matching small area rug would be in this area for the entrance way and wet boots, etc. I can see a collection of candles of different heights inside of the fireplace as it looks too shallow to be a working fireplace. I will try and draw a floor plan for you to help visualize.I have attached my rough drawing. The scale is not right and not sure about the front door but you get my idea anyway.

Dewsbury (/ˈdjuːzbəri/[1]) is a minster town in the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees, in West Yorkshire, England. It is to the west of Wakefield, east of Huddersfield and south of Leeds. It lies by the River Calder and an arm of the Calder and Hebble Navigation.
Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, after undergoing a period of major growth in the 19th century as a mill town, Dewsbury went through a period of decline. More recently there has been redevelopment of derelict mills into flats, and regenerating of city areas.
According to the 2001 census the Dewsbury urban sub-area had a population of 54,341. Dewsbury is the largest town in the Heavy Woollen District, a conurbation of small mill towns.
The Domesday Book of 1086 records the name as Deusberia and Deusberie. It is believed to mean "fortified place by a stream", from Old English deaw "dew" (stream) and burg "fort". Other suggestions include the Burg of David, from the old pre-Norman-Conquest British Gaelic for David, being Deu, similar to the Welsh form, Dai. There are other theories on the name's origins such as a Mercian name, after the founder of a fortified settlement, named Dui, Dew or Deus--"beria" meaning fort or stronghold. # "God's Hill", from the old British word "Duw", meaning God (cf Latin "Deus"), and "burg", meaning a hill [1] [2] or "Tiw's Burh", derived from the Germanic god Tyr from the same Indo-European origin.
Early history[edit]
In Saxon times, Dewsbury was a centre of considerable importance. The ecclesiastical parish of Dewsbury encompassed Huddersfield, Mirfield and Bradford. Ancient legend records that in 627 Paulinus, the first Bishop of York, preached here on the banks of the River Calder. Numerous Saxon graves have been found in Dewsbury and Thornhill.[2]
Dewsbury Minster lies near the River Calder, traditionally on the site where Paulinus preached. Some of the visible stonework in the nave is Saxon, and parts of the church also date to the 13th century. The tower houses "Black Tom", a bell which is rung each Christmas Eve, one toll for each year since Christ's birth, known as the "Devil's Knell", a tradition dating from the 15th century. The bell was given by Sir Thomas de Soothill, in penance for murdering a servant boy in a fit of rage. The tradition was commemorated on a Royal Mail postage stamp in 1986. [3]
Dewsbury market was established in the 14th century for local clothiers. Occurrences of the plague in 1593 and 1603 closed the market and it reopened in 1741.
Throughout the Middle Ages Dewsbury retained a measure of importance in ecclesiastical terms, collecting tithes from as far away as Halifax in the mid-14th century. John Wesley visited the area five times in the mid-18th century, and the first Methodist Society was established in 1746. Centenary Chapel on Daisy Hill commemorates the centenary of this event, and the Methodist tradition remained strong in the town. [4]
Industrial Revolution[edit]
In 1770, a short branch of the Calder and Hebble Navigation was completed, linking Dewsbury to the canal system giving access to Manchester and Hull. By the time of the Industrial Revolution, Dewsbury was a centre for the shoddy and mungo industries which recycled woollen items by mixing them with new wool and making heavy blankets and uniforms. The town benefited economically from the canal, its location at the heart of the Heavy Woollen District, and its proximity to coal mines. The railway arrived in 1848 when Dewsbury Wellington Road railway station on the London and North Western Railway opened; this is the only station which remains open. Other stations were Dewsbury Central on the Great Northern Railway which closed in 1964 and Dewsbury Market Place on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway which closed in 1930; a fourth goods-only railway station was built in the early 20th century at Savile Town by the Midland Railway. In 1985 a bypass road was built on the site of Central Station and its adjacent viaduct, and nothing remains of Market Place railway station. The 19th century saw a great increase in population, rising from 4,566 in 1801 to around 30,000 by 1890.
The town's rapid expansion and commitment to industrialisation resulted in social instability. In the early 19th century, Dewsbury was a centre of Luddite opposition to mechanisation in which workers retaliated against the mill owners who installed textile machinery and smashed the machines which threatened their way of life. In the 1830s, Dewsbury was a centre of Chartist agitation. In August 1838, after a speech by Chartist leader Feargus O'Connor, a mob of between five and seven thousand people besieged the Dewsbury Poor Law Guardians in the town's Royal Hotel. The mob was dispersed by troops. Trouble flared in 1840 when radical agitators seized control of the town, and troops were stationed to maintain order. This radical tradition left a legacy in the town's political life, its first elected MP in 1867 was John Simon, a Jewish lawyer from Jamaica and a Liberal. The tradition of firing the "Ten o'Clock" gun was a hangover from the Luddite problems. Presumably it was fired to reassure that all was well. (or it may have been the other way round) Except for a period during war time, it could be heard all over the area. It was resumed after the Second World War but later discontinued. The mills were family businesses and continued manufacturing after the wool crisis in 1950–51, which saw Australian sheep farmers begin to charge higher prices. However, the recovery of the late 1960s was reversed by the 1973 oil crisis, and the textile industry in Dewsbury declined, with only bed manufacturing remaining a large scale employer.
Recent history[edit]
Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, was questioned at Dewsbury Police Station after his arrest in January 1981.
After 2005 Dewsbury was labelled a troubled town after negative press reports[3] and became "the town that dare not speak its name"[4] after high profile crimes brought it into the media spotlight. In June, a girl of 12 was charged with grievous bodily harm after attempting to hang a five-year-old boy from Chickenley.[5] Mohammad Sidique Khan, ringleader of the group responsible for the 7 July 2005 London bombings lived in Lees Holm. On 19 February 2008, Shannon Matthews, aged nine, disappeared in Dewsbury Moor. She was found hidden in Batley Carr on 14 March 2008.
Kirklees Council compulsorily purchased Pioneer House, a listed building formerly owned by the Co-operative Society and named for the Rochdale Pioneers. Previously owned by a property developer, it was in a dangerous condition, but it has been redeveloped and was re-opened in September 2013.
In October 2010 the Dewsbury Revival Centre opened, in the refurbished former St Mark's Church on Halifax Road, the church attended by the Titanic bandmaster Wallace Hartley.
Dewsbury was incorporated as a municipal borough in 1862 [5]. Its first mayor was Dr George Fearnley. The Reform Act of 1868 constituted Dewsbury a parliamentary borough, and Liberal candidate John Simon, serjeant-at-law, was returned as the borough's first MP. The Victorian town hall standing in front of the old marketplace dates from 1886-89. Dewsbury's boundaries were expanded to include the urban districts of Ravensthorpe, Thornhill, and Soothill Nether, and part of Soothill Upper, in 1910, and in 1913 it was elevated to county borough status. "Soothill Nether" refers to the current east end of the town, although at that time Chickenley and Chidswell were hamlets, and Earlsheaton contained the bulk of the area's population. The covered market was opened in 1904 and during the 1920s trade moved from the original market place to the area around the covered market.
In 1974 responsibility for local government passed to Kirklees Metropolitan Council, with its headquarters in Huddersfield. The population of Dewsbury has remained broadly static over the past century: the 1911 census recorded 53,351 people [6], and the 1971 census 51,326 people, making it the fourth least populous county borough in England (after Canterbury, Burton upon Trent and Great Yarmouth).
Dewsbury is situated between Leeds and Bradford eight miles to the north, Huddersfield a similar distance to the south west, and Wakefield six miles east. Its proximity to these major urban centres, the M1 and M62 motorways and its position on the Huddersfield Line, served by the TransPennine Express, have contributed to its popularity as a commuter town.
Dewsbury is part of the West Yorkshire Urban Area, although its natural boundaries are not well defined, with built up areas of the town running into Batley, Heckmondwike and Ossett.
Geologically, the town is situated on rocks of the Carboniferous Period, consisting of coal measures and gritstones. Quaternary Period rock, glacial deposits and gravels exist in the Calder Valley. Coal, sandstone and gravel have been exploited commercially. Average rainfall is 100 cm per annum.[7]
The town is dominated by hills, notably Earlsheaton, Dewsbury Moor, Staincliffe and Thornhill. The town centre is between 130 feet-180 feet above sea level, rising to 360 feet at Earlsheaton and Batley Carr, and 755 feet at Grange Moor. The approach from Earlsheaton through the Wakefield Road cutting, constructed in 1830, is dramatic with the view of the town centre in the Calder Valley opening up.
Most of the older buildings were built in Yorkshire stone, many have been cleaned by sandblasting. Notable structures include the railway viaduct, and Machell's Shoddy and Mungo Mill, converted into flats but bearing the name of its original occupants.
Divisions and suburbs[edit]
Dewsbury has a number of districts with different geographical and socio-economic patterns, they are, Chickenley, Crackenedge, Dewsbury Moor, Earlsheaton, Eastborough, Eightlands, Flatts, Ravensthorpe, Savile Town, Shaw Cross, Scout Hill, Thornhill Lees, Westborough, Westtown. Batley Carr, Hanging Heaton and Staincliffe have areas which lie in both Dewsbury and neighbouring Batley. Thornhill, Briestfield and Whitley are part of Dewsbury. Thornhill was annexed in 1910.

Demographics and economy[edit]
From the outset of the industrialisation of the town with its many mills, a large influx of Irish workers arrived in the town, settling in the Westtown area. This area has the large and imposing Our Lady and St. Paulinus Roman Catholic Church and its school, once run by the nuns of the area. The Irish National Club also is home to Dewsbury Celtic amateur rugby league club, with its many age groups of players. Starting in the late 1950s and continuing until the 1970s, many families from South Asia, particularly Pakistan, settled in Dewsbury. By 1966 around 2,000 immigrants from Commonwealth countries had made Dewsbury their home. Many worked in the woollen mills, making good the labour shortage in that sector.
The town has a large Asian community. Savile Town and Ravensthorpe are populated mainly by Muslims of Indian and Pakistani origin. In recent years, there has also been an immigration of Iraqi Kurds and Hungarians into the town.[6] Dewsbury is known for having a Shariah arbitration court, which has caused some controversy.[7] The Dewsbury Moor, Ravensthorpe and Chickenley areas are classed among the 10% most deprived areas in the UK [8]. In contrast to some British towns and cities, the east side of the town is generally more affluent. The majority of houses in the town are in the cheapest band for council tax, for house prices are amongst the lowest in the country.[9]
The town centre is starting to see a something of a revival, with large retailers such as Sainsbury's, Next and Matalan it also has many other stores. The local market comprising 400 stalls is one of the busiest in Yorkshire and today draws coach-loads of visitors to the town: in April 2007, Dewsbury Market won the award of "Britain's Best Market". Wednesdays and Saturdays are the normal market days with the popular flea market on Fridays. The town's mills were located just south of the River Calder in the town centre. As the mills closed, this area became a large brownfield site. However, many of the units have been reoccupied and the town's largest employer, Carlton Cards, is based in this area. A large shopping centre, planned to occupy a large area, has as many supporters as detractors.
Dewsbury RLFC play in the Kingstone Press Championship.They play at the Crown Flatt, on Owl Lane, towards Ossett, on the site of the old Savile & Shaw Cross Colliery. Their original and famous ground Crown Flatt stood on Leeds Road, at Earlsheaton, for many years until it was burned down, by arsonists in the late 1980s. It has been replaced with a modern housing estate. Dewsbury are where one of the first rugby league sides to have their own TV website www.dewsburyramstv.co.uk. Shaw Cross Sharks are perhaps the most famous amateur Rugby League club in the area. The club was founded in 1947 and has proved a great conveyor belt for players into the professional game, including some of the great players of the past in Mick Stevenson, Nigel Stephenson and David Ward. They run from Shaw Cross Club for Young People and play their home fixtures at the adjacent Paul Lee Hinchcliffe Memorial Playing Fields. The open age first team is the National Conference League. They have junior teams ranging from under 7s right through to under 18s. Dewsbury Celtic play in National League 3, their ground is on the west side of the town, in Crow Nest Park. The club's headquarters are at the Dewsbury Irish National Club on Park Parade. Also the home of the Dewsbury Rangers Football club, with over 300 members from the ages of six through to the old boys' teams it is one of the largest in the area and new members always welcome. And thanks to the hard work of the committee and all involved with the club and local community the club is due to have a purpose built clubhouse on the Wakefield Road Playing Fields about 1 mile from Dewsbury town centre.
Dewsbury Museum is located within the mansion house in Crow Nest Park. After an extensive 18-month programme of building and gallery refurbishment the museum reopened in the summer of 2010. Nearby attractions include the National Coal Mining Museum for England.
In 2009 Dewsbury hosted Kirklees Council's Concerts in the Park and over 8,000 came to watch pop stars McFly, Ironik and the Yeah You's play a free concert.
The town also has an annual event called Spirit, a street theatre show every winter which takes place in the town centre.
Dewsbury had two grammar schools – The Wheelwright Grammar School for Boys and, further up the hill, the Wheelwright Grammar School for Girls. The 1970s education reforms downgraded these two establishments to high schools and they were renamed Dewsbury College and Birkdale High School. Birkdale High School closed in July 2011. In the 2005 School League Tables, Dewsbury's Eastborough Junior, Infants and Nursery schools were reported to have the most consistently improved results over the past four years. However, the headteacher of the school, Nicola Roth, has been highly critical of School League Tables in the UK and has been reported to have said, "It would be better if league tables did not exist".[8]
Batley College of Art and Design, which is part of Dewsbury College, has a strong reputation for print and textile-based art work, whilst St John Fisher Catholic High School is a specialist Sports College and is one of the few schools in the area with a Sixth Form.

References in popular culture[edit]
Dewsbury is referenced in the Beatles' 1967 film Magical Mystery Tour. A line of dialogue in the film has one of the magicians (all portrayed by the Beatles themselves) - who are keeping an eye on the whereabouts of the bus that is taking its passengers on the journey of the film's title - exclaim: "The bus is ten miles north on the Dewsbury road and they're having a lovely time!" [10] Dewsbury is also referenced in the 1991 single "It's Grim Up North" by the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (also known as the KLF).
The 1960 book A Kind of Loving is set in a fictional city named "Cressley", but its description was based upon Dewsbury. The author, Stan Barstow, was born in Horbury and grew up in Ossett - both of which are just to the east of Dewsbury.
More recently, the phrase "Dewsbury noir" has been used to describe the violent novels of David Peace, who was born in Dewsbury but lives in neighbouring Ossett.[9]

Sherwani (Urdu: شیروانی; Hindi: शेरवानी) is a long coat-like garment worn in South Asia, very similar to an Achkan or doublet. Sherwani originated as a fusion of the Shalwar Kameez with the British frock coat. It was traditionally associated with the Muslim aristocracy of the northern Indian subcontinent. The Rajput aristocracy had subsequently adopted it. It is worn over the Kurta and Churidar, Khara pajama, a shalwar. It can be distinguished from the achkan by the fact that it is often made from heavier suiting fabrics, and by the presence of a lining.
After the independence of Pakistan, Mohammad Ali Jinnah frequently wore the Sherwani and made it the national dress of Pakistan.[1]
The Sherwani originated in South Asia and was the court dress of nobles of the royals of India, before being more generally adopted in the late eighteenth century. It appeared during the period of British India in 18th century, as a fusion of the Shalwar Kameez with the British frock coat. It was gradually adopted by most of the Indian aristocracy, mostly Muslim, and later by the general population, as a more westernized form of traditional attire. Like the Urdu language, it also became a symbol of Muslim nobility. Before the independence of India and Pakistan, the Sherwani was closely associated with founders of Aligarh Movement. Following Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, all the professors and students wore Sherwani. The name "Aligarh Sherwani" was also coined, inspired by the popularity of the design at Aligarh Muslim University.[2] At the Aligarh Muslim University, these Sherwanis are still worn to keep alive a long running tradition of academics.
- The Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Sir Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII, the richest man in the world, having a fortune estimated at US$2 billion in the early 1940s.[3] always used to wear Sherwani. He ascended the throne in 1911.[4] In his time, all the nobility at the court and all officers of the state also used to wear Sherwani.
Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, frequently wore the Sherwani after Pakistan achieved independence, and made it the national dress of Pakistan despite the fact that English culture had greatly influenced his personal preferences, particularly when it came to dress. Earlier, Mohammad Ali Jinnah donned Western style clothing and he pursued the fashion with fervour. It is said he owned over 200 hand-tailored suits which he wore with heavily starched shirts with detachable collars. During his last years he was seen mostly in Sherwani and a Karakul hat which subsequently came to be known as "Jinnah cap".
Following him most government officials in Pakistan such as the President and Prime Minister started to wear the formal black Sherwani over the shalwar qameez on state occasions and national holidays. But as Dr. Tariq Rahman writes about the western style officers that "the impeccably dressed South Asian officers, both civilian and military, never wore in public till the 1970s when Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto gave respectability to this dress by wearing it in public.[5] However General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq made it complusory of all officers to wear Sherwani on state occasions and national holidays.
Muslim physics scientist Dr Abdul-Salam appeared in black sherwani to receive nobel prize.
It has also become almost customary for bride grooms to wear a sherwani on their wedding almost always accompanied by a turban. Wedding sherwanis usually tend to have embroidered collars and have been popularized in recent times by designers like Amir Adnan and Deepak Perwani. One major difference between Sherwani wearing habits in India and Pakistan is that Pakistanis very rarely wear it with chooridar pyjamas preferring a shalwar instead while their Indian counterparts are distinguished by their preference for chooridars.
In India, the sherwani is generally worn for formal occasions in winter by those of North Indian descent, especially those from Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Hyderabadi-Muslims. The sherwani is generally associated with Muslims while the achkan was historically favored by Hindu nobles. The two garments have significant similarities, though sherwanis typically are more flaired at the hips. The achkan was also modified into the Nehru Jacket, which is popular in India.
The Hyderabadi Sherwani was the dress of choice of the Nizam of Hyderabad and Hyderabadi nobles. The Hyderabadi sherwani is longer than normal sherwani reaching below the knees.[6]
In Bengal (Bangladesh and West Bengal), the Sherwani is worn by Bengali Muslims on formal occasions such as weddings and classical concerts.
In Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, it was generally worn as the formal uniform of Mudaliyars and early Tamil legislators during the British colonial period. The diplomatic service had incorporated its use for formal occasions overseas.
Modern sherwanis[edit]
Achkans and sherwanis are worn by many Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi grooms as wedding dresses. These garments usually feature detailed embroidery or patterns.
Sherwanis have been designed by Rohit Bal for British Airways cabin crews serving on flights to South Asia.
Music director A.R. Rahman appeared in a black sherwani to receive an Academy Award.

Subject explores three aspects of the merger and acquisition process: the strategic decision to acquire, the valuation decision of how much to pay, and the execution decision of how to implement the acquisition. Class sessions alternate between discussions of academic readings and applied cases.

We all loved the whimsical and thoroughly charming documentary Being Elmo : A Puppeteer's Journey. It was not hard to get caught up in the fairy tale aspect of the whole story that led a child who dreamt of working with the legends that are Jim Henson and his band of merry men to his dreams. The magic that they created has inspired a generation and the generation after that and continues to do so today. So it was great that attention was paid.
One of the guys that worked with Henson from the early days of Sesame Street was Caroll Spinney. While the name may not seem familiar, you definitely know his work as he is the creator and (still) the voice of two of the most beloved characters on television – Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch. He is one of the last of the original puppeteer's and is a definite cultural and national treasure.
And he is still working to this day.
It is these reasons that I am fiercely proud to let you know about what has to be (in my humble opinion) the greatest and most important Kickstarter programs out there.
The good folks at Copper Pot Pictures are putting together a documentary on Spinney called I Am Big Bird that will feature rare interviews, brilliant behind-the-scenes footage, the story of the man himself and have turned to Kickstarter for funding. All the info is here on their Kickstarter page, however I have put their Kickstarter trailer below as well as three videos featuring Henson talking about how he met Spinney, Michael Buble practicing with Spinney for a Christmas special and the dudes from OK Go asking for folks to support the doc and help get it funded.
People always complain about the lack of great movies out there, now you can do something about it. The trailer (which is included in Copper Pot Picture's Kickstarter video) is quite brilliant and shows the potential of just how great this doc can be. There is one part that just got me towards the end when Spinney puts on the top of his Big Bird costume and transforms himself into the iconic, lovable character. Shivers.
With that said, I am still an Oscar the Grouch fan. Huge one.
Oscar The Grouch for President! (think about it).
To a lot of folks, Kickstarter is something that is simply not on their radar and a brand new thing for them. I implore to give it a shot as this is one campaign that is worthy of your funding.
Here is the Kickstarter Trailer (including the trailer for the doc itself)
Jim Henson talks about the first time he met Caroll Spinney

College education is essential for everyone but there is at least one difficulty as it relates to college education and in this case, it is the cost. It is quite expensive to acquire a decent education and not all parents can afford to pay the college tuition for their offspring.
In order to make it through the rough financial waters, there are a few options that you have at your fingertips and getting college grants is one of them. Thousands of grants are available for you if you are motivated enough to complete the application forms. Actually, you could access multiple college grants without having excelled in any particular area; all you need is the drive to pursue higher education.
Guidelines on Getting College Grants
College grants are different from scholarships, they do not require eligibility and they simply require that you provide proof that you are in need of the grant. Financial need is a decisive factor given that organizations offer grants with the purpose of making assistance available to students who are in need of money in order to acquire a college degree.
Completely Fill Out the Application Form
Make sure that you always fill out the application form from top to bottom. By no means should you leave any question blank or unanswered. In the event that you feel as if a specific question does not apply to you, state it there along with the reason. Provide all the additional supporting material such as essays, letters of recommendation and transcripts.
Follow Directions
It is important that you do not provide irrelevant information or documentation. Only supply what has been requested.
Be Neat
Having a printed application form is always the better option. However, in the event that you cannot access a printer, then you could have it written by hand; just make sure that it is legible and neat. Make photocopies of the application forms before filling them out so that in case you make mistakes you will be able to utilize another copy.
Write an Extraordinary Essay
In the event that you would like your essay to be remarkable, then you need to make it specific and personal. Make mention of all the concrete details of the experience which you are writing about; ensure that the essay comes alive.
Make Sure your Deadlines are Met
Ensure that all of your deadlines are met; a late submission will be a bad reflection on you. Ensure that the application gets to its destination with time to spare. You will not want to miss a chance to receive college grants because the application was lost in the post or delayed.
Make Backups
Having backups ready is a good idea in case of any mishaps.
Final Proofreading
Proofread the application form in its entirety prior to submitting it.
There are a number of college grants that are available for students who are in need of financial assistance and all that is required is some amount of diligence from the students.
We will updating this information with the latest college grants as the school year gets closer.

France Struggles to Cope with Youth Binge Drinking
The alcohol-related death of a young attendee at a viral public-drinking party has left France to confront its growing problem with binge drinking, the Guardian reported May 14.
A 21-year-old attending a "giant aperitif" party in Nantes fell off a bridge after consuming 10 to 15 drinks; he later died. The party and resulting tragedy have focused public attention on drinking behavior that strays outside the classic Gallic norm of a glass of wine over dinner.
Up to 10,000 people showed up in Nantes to drink heavily and publicly in a party organized via Facebook. Similar events also have been held in the cities of Montpellier, Brest, and Rennes. "We cannot just let this go," said Nantes mayor Jean-Marc Ayrault. "They are putting people's lives in danger. It's dreadful. I think this phenomenon has to stop. There's nothing celebratory about it; it's rather squalid."
Radio commentator Eric Zemmour said that the giant aperitifs represented "mass adaptations of English-style binge drinking." Another of the parties is scheduled for May 23 under the shadow of the Eiffel Tower; a crowd of 50,000 is expected.

- Tank Dress
- Materials:
- Body - 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex
- Cape - 100% Polyester
- Wash/Care Instructions:
- Machine wash cold with similar colors
- Do not bleach
- Tumble dry low
- Cool iron as needed
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
It's more like a Junior size, so go a size up if you don't like it being form-fitting. However, this design is only on the FRONT, and true Harley fans will know this cannot happen. So don't buy this. I know a very specific place where you can get the same tank dress, without the screenprints, just the diamonds and red and black (which also is on the back....like it should be!), just be aware that it'll be a tad expensive. No discount. If you'd like to find it, I'm sure you already have an idea of where it is......it's just a Super store...lots of Hero Stuff. ......cough.
This costume was perfect - exactly what I was looking for and was a real hit!
The costume looks great, I thought I could end my search for a Harley Quinn outfit that wasn't too revealing. I turned it around to find that there is no design on the back... So back to the drawing board, this dress looks waayy too tacky!
This Harley Quinn sleep tank is so comfy and you feel as much of a bad girl as Harley when you slip it on. Its stretchy and soft and beautiful.
I'm a huge Harley Quinn fan so you can bet when I found this at my local Spirit Halloween store, I had to have it. The material is stretchy and super comfortable and I feel cute and flirty wearing it
