This rare model of a boy holding a peach is distinguished by the size of the head and the adult-like face. Despite the face, his garb is definitely of a type reserved for children, so the exposure of his genitalia would not raise eyebrows in most parts of the world.
The colours are drawn from the famille verte palette, and the overall feeling of the child is somewhat similar to a group of well-known pairs of boys made in large quantities during the Kangxi period, mostly, it seems, for export to Europe. If such figures were the inspiration for this bottle, it is a good rationale for the use of the traditional palette. The use of a very thin wash of aubergine to depict the shaven head is both unusual and remarkably effective. The enamel is so diluted that the individual grains of finely ground glass can be seen in a wash of palest purple, making for an ideal depiction of stubbly hair.
The fact that the interior is unglazed may be an indication that it is from the earlier end of the dating range we suggest. Whenever it was made, it is a striking model dramatized by the restrained use of a limited palette of bold colours.
A similar bottle was offered at auction in the U.S. in 1921 (Glickman 2006, p. 10, fig. 1.19); other related bottles are in Hall 1996, no. 3, JICSBS, Winter 1985, p. 25, and JICSBS, Autumn 1998, p. 1, although none is from the same mould.

An Introduction to PHP3
One of the latest things to emerge in web development is a language called PHP. According to its proponents at http://www.php.net/, it is in use by Volvo, Red Hat, Miss USA 1999, First USA Bank, NASA JPL and other prominent organizations. One of its most popular applications is connecting to databases, but it can also talk to LDAP, IMAP and SNMP services, generate GIFs on the fly and do other tricks.
PHP3 is a server-side include scripting language and has been compared to Microsoft ASP (Active Server Pages), but with two differences crucial to me: it is open source and it runs on Linux. Actually, it is available under a GNU license or the PHP license, which allows commercial closed-source products to be developed from it. It runs on many UNIX platforms.
For example, the following code:
<?PHP echo "Hello, Net" ?>
in a PHP page on a PHP-enabled server will appear in the user's browser as Hello, Net.
What can PHP do for you? It greatly reduces the complexity of using cgi-bin variables and connecting to databases, and allows programming in an easy-to-learn language within web pages. It can do much more (the on-line reference lists 53 types of functions), but I will focus on database connectivity.
MySQL seems to be the most popular database to use with it, so I will use that for my examples. PHP can connect to Oracle, Sybase, PostgreSQL, Informix and other databases as well. It is important to note that PHP is not database-independent, unlike the DBI system used with Perl. You must use PHP functions tailored for the database you are targeting. This lets PHP access functionality available only in a specific database platform, but may reduce the portability of database-enabled projects.
In the following discussion, I will assume the reader has a knowledge of SQL, HTML and C.
The PHP blocks can be included anywhere in the HTML—even inside quotes or tags. For example, a link to another page could be produced from PHP. The following example:
 ... For more information, visit <A HREF= "<?php echo "moreinfo.html" ?>"> wacky link
would work, although there is little point to it. The value of PHP is that it is a powerful programming language. It allows things like links to be generated by code. One can build a whole interactive web site with it.
PHP is much like basic C, a little like Perl, and has a few unique features of its own. Here are some key facts:
Variables are preceded by $ (just $, not @ or anything else).
Primitive types include integers, floats, strings, arrays, associative arrays and objects.
Type is usually set automatically, not in code, so there is no need to declare variables. They can be declared as static which makes them persist between PHP blocks on the same page.
//, /*..*/ and # are all used for comments—sort of a combination of C++, Perl and shell scripting.
Statements are terminated by semicolons.
Functions can be declared within a block. Their declaration and call resemble C.
Forms submitted to a PHP script pass in their variables (this is quite cool). They are accessible by name and also come in an array, which is nice when your calling form is a PHP program that may have unpredictable variable names.
The set of control structures and operators is very similar to C, although with some extensions.
There is limited support for object types.
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.

Claim: A study found dangerous microbial growth on 70% of lemon slices served with beverages in restaurants.
Example: [Collected via e-mail, February 2008]
Origins: The
However, this study in itself doesn't demonstrate that restaurant patrons are at high risk for contracting some serious illnesses due to food workers' not observing sufficiently rigorous sanitary standards. For one thing, the study did not determine the origins of the microbial contaminants:
It is not possible to definitively identify the origins of the microorganisms. While the Enterobacteriaceae and nonfermentative Gramnegative bacilli could have come from the fingertips of a restaurant employee via human fecal or raw-meat or poultry contamination, they might have contaminated the lemons before they even arrived at the restaurant. The Gram-positive cocci and Corynebacterium isolates may have been introduced onto the lemons from the skin or oral flora of anyone who handled them, before or after they arrived in the restaurant. The Bacillus species are ubiquitous and could have had numerous sources, including airborne spores landing on the fruit or on the knife used to cut the lemon.
The study also did not determine the likelihood of customers' contracting infectious diseases from restaurant-served lemon wedges, nor did it cite any examples of such an occurrence:
[T]he likelihood [of the microbes' causing infectious diseases] was not determined in this study. An extensive search of the literature yielded no reported outbreaks or illnesses attributed to lemon slices in beverages. Establishment of an infection would depend upon the number of microbes introduced; this investigation did not include a quantitative determination of the numbers of microorganisms on the lemons. Other factors that would contribute to the establishment of an infection would include whether the organisms were resistant to multiple antibiotics, the general health and age of the individual, the status of the immune system, and the integrity of the mucous membranes of the lips and mouth.
What the study uncovered, basically, is a potential problem that requires more study:
Although lemons have known antimicrobial properties, the results of our study indicate that a wide variety of microorganisms may survive on the flesh and the rind of a sliced lemon. Restaurant patrons should be aware that lemon slices added to beverages may include potentially pathogenic microbes. Further investigations could determine the source of these microorganisms, establish the actual threat (if any) posed by their presence on the rim of a beverage, and develop possible means for preventing the contamination of the lemons. It could also be worthwhile to study contamination on other beverage garnishes, such as olives, limes, celery, and cherries, and to investigate whether alcoholic beverages have an effect not seen with water and soda.

The biggest news today was probably rumblings about Chapman to the bullpen. I guess this will-he-won't-he story is going to play on loop for the rest of his contract, but I'm not going to pass judgment at least until I know what's happening with BIl Bray. I feel better about the Reds' depth knowing Francis will take his bonus to be at AAA, though I'm guessing that's a handshake agreement. The opt-out is still in his contract.
UPDATE: Our Red Reporter correspondents are on hand for tonight's game. Check the thread for updates from KMiB, @UncleWeez or @redreporter for tweets and pics from the game. From what we know so far, there are a lot of backs of heads in attendance. And Goodyear Ballpark serves Skyline.
The Reds take on the two-time defending World Runners-up tonight. Believe it or not, there are still 11 more spring training games after this. 11 totally excellent spring training games. 12 if you count the upcoming split squad as two. 13 if you count the "Reds vs. Futures" game. 28.333333 if you mis-count.
I wouldn't mind seeing this 1-7 in the lineup on a rare Votto off-day this season.

Basic Techniques
To make great guacamole you have to go off-recipe. It's all about the in-between steps, decisions, and knowing when avocados are at their best.
Eggs poached in white wine peppered with minced shallots and herbs. A simple twist that immediately transformed the humble poached egg into something just a hint special and unexpected. Served over smashed avocado on toasted bread.
A spoon butter that doesn't use mineral oil as an ingredient. It will keep your cutting boards, wooden spoons, and wood-handled knives in good shape.
A bit of very belated Spring cleaning + a shallot vinaigrette made with rosé wine in place of vinegar.
This tartine sandwich is tops - a slather of pure coconut oil topped with smashed avocado, and finished with garlicky toasted macadamia nuts, squash blossoms, and slivered scallions.
A simple bowl of toasted rolled oats finished with a bit of miso, then topped with a load of minced chives, walnuts, baby radishes, and a thread of cream. Also, a few snapshots from Los Angeles.
A summer pesto made from a mix of coriander, basil, arugula, oregano, and chives, and links to a few other new recipes we've sprinkled around the QUITOKEETO shop site.
I often carry a small vial of this spiced kale and nori medley in my purse, refilling it every few days. Nutrient-dense and delicious, you use it as a healthful seasoning for salad, vegetables, stir-fries...
I get a lot of questions related to sourcing and using edible flowers, I thought I'd write up a few of the things I do to ensure I have a supply throughout the year.
How a package from Jaipur, India inspired lots of yogurt-straining, labneh-making.
Popovers are the most delightful thing my oven produces - sky-high and billowy. Here's my go-to recipe, a few tips, and the overall technique I use.
Za'atar is an incredibly versatile Middle Eastern spice blend, one of my favorites. Particularly this time of year when it's a welcome addition to all sorts of roasted vegetables, soups and stews, or simply sprinkled over everything from yogurt, to eggs, to savory granola.
I inherited a professional juicer, juiced everything in sight, and learned a few things in the process.
Tarragon oil - one of my little secret weapons. Use it as a finishing oil on soups, as a component of anything bread-centric, and as a vinaigrette base. It's vibrant green with grassy anise notes, and just the sort of thing to keep on hand.
This one is for my sis - homemade Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower Butter.
A Parmesan cheese spread made with grated cheese, olive oil, a splash of white wine, and any other accents you can think of.
A spectrum of citrus salts made from all sorts of winter citrus zest - clementines, wild lime, Meyer lemon, kalamansi oranges, and mandarinquats. Couldn't be simpler.
My go-to berry pie recipe - a rye flour crust and mixed berry filling seasoned with fresh thyme leaves.
Homemade celery salt couldn't be easier to make. I keep a bottomless jar of it on hand and use it on just about everything - eggs, soups, salads. It's hard to go wrong with it.
I spent Saturday brewing beer with my brother-in-law. For dinner, later on, I brought a simple lasagna, using this golden tomato sauce as the base - garlic, red pepper flakes, and olive oil. That's it. It's good on pasta, pizza, and only takes a few minutes to pull together.
Inspired by a recipe in the River Cottage Preserves Handbook I made my own bouillon. I've been using it in soups and stews all week, and it's so much better than any canned broth I've tasted.
If you love sauteed greens, give this recipe a go. I avoid overcooking, and throw plenty of garlic into the pan. You can use kale, chard, or spinach.
A simple, single pot mixed grain recipe inspired by a reader email from a grandmother of four - rice, oats, barley, and millet.
A rustic, cherry cobbler recipe made from fresh cherries - though you can certainly try this recipe with other types of summer fruit and berries.
A fantastic salty-sweet grilled tempeh recipe. The marinade is made from a simple (but effective) combination of maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic and ground chipotle pepper.
Grilled pizza recipe with an outline of techniques and considerations about the technique it takes to get grilled pizzas right - with topping ideas.
A vegetarian dumpling recipe featuring a simple pea, lemon, ricotta filling. Bright flavors and delicious steamed or pan-fried.
The prettiest, tastiest, frittata recipe. Made with potatoes, onions, and eggs drizzled with a cilantro chile sauce.
A fun meringue recipe that enables you to shape the meringue into seasonal shapes - ghosts for halloween, or snowmen for the holidays
Golden, crisped potato crouton recipe. Great in place of bread croutons in soups and salads.
Quick, simple and easy tomato sauce recipe. Bright and clean flavors, a vibrant red in color, exudes the essence of tomatoes.
101 Cookbooks readers weigh in on how to outfit and set up a first kitchen.
This favorite, stunning, vibrant pesto recipe was taught to me by my friend Francesca's mother who came to visit recently - handchopped basil, garlic, Parmesan, olive oil and pinenuts.
Fantastic Peter Reinhart inspired rustic, thin-ish crust pizza dough recipe - made from white whole wheat flour, yeast, olive oil, salt, and ice water.

► A mild decrease in MD activity triggers impairments in PFC-dependent cognitive tasks ► MD-PFC beta synchrony is selectively modulated during a spatial working memory task ► Decreasing MD activity disrupts MD-PFC synchrony during high working memory demand ► Decreasing MD activity delays task acquisition and correlated increases in synchrony
Cognitive deficits are central to schizophrenia, but the underlying mechanisms still remain unclear. Imaging studies performed in patients point to decreased activity in the mediodorsal thalamus (MD) and reduced functional connectivity between the MD and prefrontal cortex (PFC) as candidate mechanisms. However, a causal link is still missing. We used a pharmacogenetic approach in mice to diminish MD neuron activity and examined the behavioral and physiological consequences. We found that a subtle decrease in MD activity is sufficient to trigger selective impairments in prefrontal-dependent cognitive tasks. In vivo recordings in behaving animals revealed that MD-PFC beta-range synchrony is enhanced during acquisition and performance of a working memory task. Decreasing MD activity interfered with this task-dependent modulation of MD-PFC synchrony, which correlated with impaired working memory. These findings suggest that altered MD activity is sufficient to disrupt prefrontal-dependent cognitive behaviors and could contribute to the cognitive symptoms observed in schizophrenia.

ARTSpeak Lecturer: Wangechi Mutu
Artist Wangechi Mutu will give a talk on her work and life on Tuesday, February 15, 2011, from 1 to 2 pm, in the Katie Murphy Amphitheatre. The Amphitheatre is located in the Fred P. Pomerantz Art and Design Center (also known as the "D" Building), 27th Street and 7th Avenue, at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
Kenya-born Wanechi Mutu creates compelling and intricate artworks containing painted and collaged images, often using female figures constructed with photographic fragments of idealized women collected from print magazines. Her visually complex work can also be seen as a critique of the portrayal of black women as either tribal aborigines or hypersexualized pinups.
Mutu's artwork has been exhibited extensively in the U.S. and abroad. Her most recent solo shows include Hunt Bury Flee at the Gladstone Gallery in Chelsea, New York City, My Dirty Little Heaven at the Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin, Germany, and the Wiels Contemporary Museum, Brussels, Belgium, and This You Call Civilization? at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Canada. She has won numerous awards including the Deutsche Guggenheim Artist of the Year for 2010, a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant, and a Cooper Union Urban Visionaries Emerging Talent Award.
You can find out more about Wangechi's artwork by going to her website: http://www.wangechimutu.com/
6 Responses to "ARTSpeak Lecturer: Wangechi Mutu"
I appreciated the presentation given by Wangechi Mutu. She is not someone that I was at all familiar with. Seeing her work for the first time was absolutely amazing. Her art work completely blew me away. You have no idea how inspiring this artist has been for me. It is so hard to find African or African American women in the art world who are positive role models. Wangechi carried with her a wealth of knowledge and understanding of her cultural background that many people would take for granted. It was more than the archive of information that I found intriguing. It was the eloquence with which she spoke that made her presentation that much more captivating. That is why I am compelled to say that in my opinion she is a woman of great distinction.
I want the school to realize and understand how important it is that the students at FIT be exposed to speaker from every walk of life of this caliber. We are a multicultural school, so why wouldn't we have a multicultural speakers showcase? This will help to better inform and expose the students to a plethora of ideas, possibilities, and give them the direction they need to follow their artistic desires. Please take what I have said into consideration.

Wangechi Mutu's general theme of combining the familiar aspects of tragic and grotesque historical images and events, with the familiar aspects of Western and African socialized femininity, fashion and sexual beauty totally related to me. As a young woman born and raised in New York City, I am confronted with overt sexuality everywhere I go. It's in advertising plastered on the city streets, underground in the subways, magazines in store fronts, clothing store windows, it's everywhere. I feel an inner struggle between my Persian background, and the edgy New Yorker within me at times.
Seeing how Wangechi Mutu combined the polar opposite facets of her own culture in her captivating, attention arresting collages and watercolor pieces showed me how connected everything is when it is expressed from the same source. This inspired me to incorporate details of where I come from in the biological sense with the aspects of where I was born and raised. Both of those things make us who we are, and that in itself makes them connected. -
I found the inspiration for her art to be really fascinating, very morbid but fascinating. You could tell her background really had a voice in her work too.
I found Wangechi Mutu's lecture to be very interesting. What I appreciate most about her work is its elegance. She comes from such a dark aspect of world history that one might expect her work to be brash, full of gore and anger. However, instead she handles such powerful topics such as race, colonization, and mutilation all with a very graceful touch. In my opinion, her outlook toward these issues is shaped heavily by her idols. With admiring such strong female figures as Nina Simone and Eartha Kitt her approach to difficulties are met like those icons with quiet tenacity.
That juxtaposition between power and the powerless, beauty and horror led me as the viewer to feel extremely uncomfortable which I think she absolutely intended. I feel compelled to call them beautiful but that does not explain them completely. When speaking of their beauty one must also include their raw grotesqueness also.
I hope to see her work in person one day. From what I can tell, there are a lot of intricacies and smaller details that were a little bit hard to tell in the handouts and the slides. She is definitely one artist I am glad I was introduced to and one that I will keep on my radar.
Art expresses itself differently for each individual artist, the artist can draw on their culture, their past experiences or even just pure abstraction as their main focus. Wangechi Mutu is one such artist that draws on her culture as well as historical events as the main focus in her art. Mutu's work is full of vigor and devotion, creating detail oriented paintings and drawings spilling with significance. Mutu looks at sickening events in Africa to build off of as well as having a strong interest in the distortion of the female form.
Color and collage is an element of Wangechi Mutu's work that is of great importance. The color palette in which Wagechi Mutu uses is stark and sophisticated. Wide array of colors are used as well as a curious application of these colors to create a piece of artwork that shines with vibrancy. Mutu described in her lecture how she is constantly collecting magazine photographs in which she dilligiantly puts together to make an appealing whole. These collages she constructs relate to the distorted female form in many cases, as well as relating the female to an animalistic quality in nature. The collages are just a base for the works in which she creates.
Wangetchi Mutu's breadth of work drew from magazines as a chief component. In Mutus Pin up series, Mutu created small works of art on paper with watercolors as her medium. Josefine Baker, a french dancer was the chief inspiration for Mutus pin up series, she looked to her for a sense of fiction and fakeness, in which she created her own fake and distorted figures. This fakeness seen in Josefine Baker might be related to the fakeness of the world, therefore making everyone a displaceable aspect of it. Mutu described Josefine baker as a "gorgeous buffoon" Being a gorgeous buffoon, Josefine Baker played on using quirky, silly movements on stage making her beauty mix with a sense of stupidity. In Mutus other series based on collage, she sought to connect the figure with a face. In this series of the correlation between figure and face , Mutu drew on masks for inspiration. Mutu created eye puzzling works that made it difficult to distinguish the figure and the mask and gave a feeling of depth to the artwork. The correlation and eye trickery made the pieces bring the foreground into the background while also bringing the background to the foreground.
Mutu Baker not only draws on the people of the time but also the events that transpired in Africa as well as her new home in New York. Mutu looked at the work of Hannah Hoch, an artist of the dada movement for inspiration. Hannah Hoch used collage as a means to politicize art and culture which Mutu also sought to do. Both Mutu and Hoch share an interest in creating a "shock" factor within their artwork. Mutu talks about the protest of a group of woman in kenya, whom took their clothing off in front of an Anglo-Belgian rubber India torture building. Kenya was and still is a very conservative and restricted area, where woman taking their clothing off was seen as very powerful and obscene. Mutu created a sculpture she titles"fat legs", in the work fat legs Mutu drew on the comforting factor of the female form in a world of troubles. Mutu describes that when she moved to new york she felt hardship in adjusting, and felt like she was living in a city that constantly displaces you. Mutu used art as a therapeutic form, as an escape from a world that doesnt need you or forgets easily. In Mutus next series, she drew on the alienation of portraiture as the base or preliminary idea behind her work. Looking at mug shots she created this series that emphasized a sense of alienation. This series draws on the idea that we are all just subjects in this city and if we take a break the city still functions without us.
Art can be expressed through many different forms of expression. Wangetchi Mutu uses primarily collage to depict her feelings about society and the hardships that occur within it. Mutu also draws inspiration from all over, ranging from female performers to the history of her african culture. We artists should all learn from Wangetchi Mutu and dive into our own experiences that shape our artwork, from their we can grow as artists as well as individuals within an ever-changing society. -
My Dirty Little Heaven sounds like a helluva show. I love her color palette and how her dark rich pieces still carry such a vibrancy.

"Great device! Exactly what you'd like a tablet to be."
5.0 starson by ronxronii74Pros: Portability is key. Functionality is superb. Video and audio quality are excellent. The user experience is exactly what your looking for in a tablet. The preloaded apps were well thought out, leaving me lacking any complaints.
Cons: Honestly! There are none!
Summary: Wonderful. I went shopping for an iPad, but after browsing thru the tablet section decided to give the galaxy plus a try. Best decision of my tech-life! I admittedly was already an Android fan. This device has made my loyalty even more concrete.
I love the ability to go to the Market and find plenty of content for free! This probably has been the main sticking point in deciding between the two.
Lacks the restrictive nature of the iPad. I am able to do exactly what I could with my PC without the hassle of buying several different apps to accommodate.
The ability to drag and drop is KING! I have at last 10 full length films in HD and it didn't cost me a nickle!
Androidian for!!!

Characters Comicbook Fanficrecs Film Franchise Fridge Funny Headscratchers Heartwarming Laconic Main NightmareFuel Quotes Radar Series TearJerker Trivia WMG YMMV main index Narrative
"Always keep your bowler on in times of stress, and a watchful eye open for diabolical masterminds." Very popular British Spy Drama running from 1961-1969, created by Sydney Newman and produced by ITC for ITV. A total of 161 episodes in six seasons. The show singlehandedly started the Spy Catsuit and Action Girl tropes.Its most famous male-female partnership, between 1965 and 1968, was Patrick Macnee (who would later appear in a Bond film) and Diana Rigg (who would later appear in a Bond film).In earlier seasons (1962-1964), the female co-star was Honor Blackman (who would later appear in a Bond film).The series was originally created as a vehicle for Ian Hendry (who would not later appear in a Bond film), to capitalise on the popularity he had developed during his previous show, Police Surgeon. In the pilot, his character, Dr Keel, was recruited by spy John Steed (Macnee) as a part-time expert assistant in return for Steed's help capturing the murderers of Keel's wife; this was pretty much the last time in the series any actual avenging took place. This first series was generally a grim-and-gritty crime affair, centering around drug smugglers, arms dealers and endless cases involving stolen diamonds.A TV strike delayed the start of the second season, so Hendry left to pursue a film career. Steed became the show's central character and the production team started to explore other partnerships. The first, lasting just a few episodes, was Dr. King, a blatant Suspiciously Similar Substitute. He was followed up by stories that alternately paired Steed up with nightclub singer Venus Smith (The Chick) (played by Julie Stevens, who has never appeared in a Bond film) and female spy Cathy Gale (arguably TV's first true Action Girl) (played by Blackman, who, as noted already, would later appear in a Bond film). Cathy, who was mostly written identically to Dr. Keel, proved to be the most popular and Venus was quietly dropped.This retooling of the show became a massive smash. With a consistent Spy Couple format, the show began to move away from more mundane villains and towards science fictional supervillains and diabolical masterminds.Blackman left to pursue a film career (playing Pussy Galore in Goldfinger, a Bond film) and was replaced by Diana Rigg as Mrs. Emma Peel, described as a "talented amateur". Simultaneously, production switched from videotape to 35mm film. The show became much more stylish and faster-paced and even gained a new theme tune, although it wasn't until the next season that it was produced in colour. Mrs. Peel — whose husband didn't make an appearance until her final episode — set the trend of the Spy Catsuit and continued the gentleman spy / Action Girl setup. Steed and Mrs. Peel became the show's iconic pairing, helped by the introduction of filmed and colour episodes raising the show in the public's consciousness.The stories became crazier and crazier — Space plants from the moon! Assassination by laser! Invisible spies! Housecats trained to kill! Politicians hypnotised into becoming children! A Shrink Ray! — and typified the swinging cool of 1960s Britain.Eventually Rigg left Steed for the embrace of George Lazenby's doomed James Bond film, and Steed took on his last partner, Tara King. Tara (played by Linda Thorson, who has not appeared in a Bond film) was a more feminine character, though still an Action Girl, but the series never survived the loss of Rigg, massive problems behind the scenes and being put up in America against Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. The series finished after just one season with Tara King.A Revival was attempted in 1976, with The New Avengers, starring Macnee and Joanna Lumley (who's better known for Absolutely Fabulous, but had earlier appeared in a Bond film) as Purdey. Oh, and Gareth Hunt, the guy off the Nescafe adverts (but not Bond films, before or after The Avengers), as Mike Gambit. But the new, gritty tone — matching shows like The Sweeney and (later) The Professionalsnote — was too much of a departure and it soon collapsed. This series lasted from October, 1976 to December, 1977. A total of 26 episodes in two seasons.The show was later made into a movie starring Ralph Fiennes (who appears in a Bond film) and Uma Thurman (who may or may not appear in some future Bond film yet), whose only redeeming quality was Sean Connery (who had appeared in many Bond films) hamming it up as an evil Scotsman. For more on this film, see The Avengers (1998).In the 2010s, the franchise was revived by Boom! Studios for a comic book series, Steed and Mrs. Peel, which could not be titled The Avengers because of the well-known Marvel comic.Not to be confused with the comic or its film adaptation, the latter of which was renamed Avengers Assemble for the British market for precisely this reason.Character tropes include:

Other tropes that appeared on the show include:

My wife and I stayed in the Tranquility Cottage and the experience was well beyond our expectations. The entire estate has been well attended-to and capable of recreating a nostalgic portal for guests choosing to escape the daily grind. You will have the best of two worlds -- a rich taste of authentic history and the best of the modern amenities available. Steve and Wendy were exceptional and made our stay one that we will never forget.

Bad weather delayed our arrival, but the hosts at the Inn worked with us and made our delayed visit possible. One of the best B & B experiences we have had and have put the Inn on our list to return to in the future. Have already recommended the Inn to our friends. Wendy & Steve have truly created a comfortable and welcoming Inn for all.

My husband and I stayed at the 1777 Americana Inn for our 15th Anniversary weekend. Everything was absolutely FANTASTIC! We're already talking about when we can go back! The Rustic Hideaway side of the carriage house where we stayed could not have been more perfect. It was so warm, cozy & inviting. The breakfasts served were delicious! While there, we were close enough to fantastic restaurants for romantic dinners and there were tons of great shops close by. We just can't say enough about our experience. Thank you to Steve & Wendy Trapp for everything! ~Kelly & Mike B.

We had a wonderful weekend at the 1777 Americana Inn. The innkeepers are very pleasant and helpful. It snowed while we were there and the innkeeper shoveled out our parking spot for us and the walk ways so we wouldn't have to walk in the snow. The home is absolutely beautiful and well maintained. Each room has its own flare and feel to it. We had the inn to ourselves as the weather turned the rest of the couples away so it was wonderfully romantic. Would definitely come again!

We stayed at this wonderful bed and breakfast and can not say enough great things about it.

My husband and I enjoyed our first B&B experience this past weekend at the 1777 Americana Inn. We were so impressed by the hospitatlity shown by Steve and Wendy, the wonderful decor of the house, the delicious breakfast and the amazing cottage that we had the pleasure of staying in. Steve graciously upgraded us to one of the cottage suites due to a scheduling error and we even had our choice of which one we wanted! We loved Tranquility Cottage and it truly lived up to its name! We were so sorry to have to leave after only one night. The fireplace, jacuzzi tub, the soft bathrobes, the complimentary soda, wine and snacks...Wendy and Steve have thought of everything! We will certainly be back to visit again!

While searching for a B&B near the Sight & Sound Theatre in Lancaster - one that would allow our group to stay for one night only on a weekend - I found the 1777 Americana Inn in Ephrata. The website made a beautiful presentation. It was NOT deceiving. The Inn is delightful. The Garden Room was perfect for our uncle and aunt (no need for a hot tub) and the Primitive Room and Le Boudoir were a treat two of us "40-something" couples. And in our circumstance, Steve intuitively brought us all together on the same floor so that we could come and go easily as a group. I've stayed at several out-of-state B&Bs (we're from PA) and have been somewhat spoiled...so my expectations were high. Plus, I was hoping to please all those with me when I made the reservations. We were not disappointed. Steve is the front-man...welcoming and winsome. Wendy is the gifted artist and chef who got the rooms "just right" and the breakfasts "mmm-mmm good". There is a great shop (10,000 Villages) a stone's throw from the Inn, too. Nice, nice, nice. I'm currently looking for an excuse to return to Lancaster! : ) Thank you, Steve and Wendy. My family and friends now think I'm a wizard of a trip planner. : ) And I'm anxious to return and indulge in your hospitality and your LOVELY Inn.

My wife and I wanted to get away for a night and found this gem of a B&B in Ephrata. Absolutely one of the best experiences we have had in a B&B. Would definitely recommend this inn to anyone looking for a great experience.

My husband and I recently spent the last night of our Pennsylvania vacation at the 1777 Americana Inn in Ephrata. The inn has been lovingly restored with meticulous attention to detail in every room. From the affable hosts to the comfortable beds, everything was beyond our expectations. We only wish we had time to extend our stay a few days longer.

Hats off to Steve & Wendy! An impeccably kept inn with super gracious hosts. Not a single detail overlooked - they have literally thought of everything. Only stayed one night, wish it was longer, but since Adamstown is a favorite destination of ours, we will absolutely return for another stay. Steve even offered his personal taxi services to us, as our stay included a nearby Micro Brew Fest. Thanks again for making our weekend perfect!

Can't say enough about the quality of this wonderful Inn. Steve and Wendy have seen to every detail in order to make our stay probably the best B&B experience we've had. The room was spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated with quality finishes. In room fridge and snacks were restocked daily. Our hosts were very friendly and well-informed about the area. The food was perfectly prepared and bountiful with fresh baked cookies and refreshments available any time. Absolutely A++ experience. Can't wait to go back! Jim & Laurie, Chicopee MA

My wife and I recently spent a night at the 1777 Americana. Both Steve and Wendy were very welcoming and helpful. They have sunk a lot of time and money into the business and you can tell how much it means to them. We very much enjoyed the inn and would stay there again if we were in the Lancaster area.
4,6 sur septembre 20, 2013
My stay was spectacular. It had an old Americana, small town feel with every modern convenience and owners who were extremely friendly and welcoming. They had many extras included that you would never find in a hotel. I have not been a fan of B&B's but this was quite the exception. I would not hesitate to return. And for newly weds they pull out all the stops. And there wasn't a doily in sight!

This is a beautiful bed and breakfast with nothing overlooked. The rooms,breakfast and gardens were so special.

Steve and Wendy have done an incredible job refurbishing this inn from it's original owner. There is a wonderful back patio to sit and relax in the evening with a beautiful gardens designed and cared for by Wendy. I highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at 1777 Americana. The room, grounds, location, dining etc. were all excellent but the service and attention to detail that Steve and Wendy provided was off the charts outstanding. If making new friends are important to any traveler in selecting a B&B to visit, 1777 Americana is an excellent decision.
4,8 sur décembre 31, 2012
we really enjoyed our stay at the 1777 Americana Inn. The travelers nook was a really nice room. All the amneties were excellent. The pumpkin waffles and the quiche for breakfast was excellent. The hosts Steve and Wendy were very nice, we loved hearing about the history of the Inn and the renovations that were made and the history of the area. We would stay here again.
5 sur novembre 13, 2012
Our family celebrated our Mother and her 80th Birthday at the Inn. Mom's daughters, grand-daughters and God-daughter were all there...an old fashioned pajama party weekend. Mom has always treasured the "gift of time". Wendy and Steve welcomed us and made us instantly feel at home...Steve re-arranged beds, and re-configured the living room and breakfast room furniture so we could all sit and eat together. Wendy ran out to the store for Mom's favorite (Breyer's) ice cream flavors, whipped up a big batch of Mom's favorite apple butter and when Wendy learned how much Mom loved oatmeal she found a special recipe and had it waiting for her at breakfast. Who does that in 2012? Our family hopes to make the Inn an annual tradition. We thank you, Wendy and Steve, for a wonderful weekend!
4,8 sur octobre 23, 2012
My wife and I spent our wedding night and honeymoon at this amazing B&B. The accommodations were exceptionally clean and well taken are of. Everything creature comfort was thought of by Steve and Wendy. The food was just amazing. The amount of detail they put into their B &B shows their passion. We look forward to spending our anniversary at 1777 Americana Inn.
3,8 sur octobre 08, 2012
Stayed at the Inn for just one night...but wished we could have stayed longer. The room we were in was very cozy and comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. The Inn itself has alot of character and is also nicely decorated. Everything was very relaxed and we did not feel like we had to rush out the next morning. We would definitely recommend to family and friends.
4,8 sur septembre 28, 2012
My family and I recently stayed at 1777 Americana Inn for their grand opening weekend. We planned a mini-vacation to Amish country as well as Adamstown, and the location of this B&B was centrally located. I was not sure what to expect as there were no previous reviews to go by. As soon as I arrived, I was so happy with my decision. Steve and Wendy are the nicest and most accomodating hosts! They went out of their way to make sure my family and I had everything we needed for the weekend. You can tell they put a lot of time and effort into this B&B as property is decorated beautifully, everything was so clean and the breakfast delicious. I would love to see them expand their selection as Wendy is a great cook. I would recommend this B&B to anyone!

Charlie Mae Littlejohn was born in Arkansas but moved to Arvin when she was young and attended school through the Arvin School District. At Arvin High she was one of a very few black students, but was elected head cheerleader by the students
Mrs. Littlejohn worked chopping cotton and other farm work in the fields of Arvin, and soon decided she did not want that for the rest of her life. She saved her $1 an hour until she had enough to pay for books for one year at BC, then earned a scholarship for the second.
She immediately became a student worker in the Business Ed department, and upon graduation, worked in Admissions and records and eventually became the English department assistant, where she was beloved and obeyed for 43 years and was known for her genuine smile and the love she had for her family.
Charlie May Littlejohn was the first African American employee to be hired full time, and the first employee of BC to serve for 43 years.
Charlie Mae is an alum who graduated and went to work for BC immediately. She was the long time, much loved secretary in the English Department. She is well known in the community and currently leads an exercise class for seniors at Martin Luther King Center. She has been very supportive of BC and, after retiring, has come in to the Archives to help identify photos. Her husband, Ron Littlejohn, is also an alum and has done photography for college events.

Cellular Classification of Malignant Mesothelioma
Histologically, these tumors are composed of fibrous or epithelial elements or both. The epithelial form occasionally causes confusion with peripheral anaplastic lung carcinomas or metastatic carcinomas. Attempts at diagnosis by cytology or needle biopsy of the pleura are often unsuccessful. It can be especially difficult to differentiate mesothelioma from adenocarcinoma on small tissue specimens. Thoracoscopy can be valuable in obtaining adequate tissue specimens for diagnostic purposes.[1] Examination of the gross tumor at surgery and use of special stains or electron microscopy can often help. The special stains reported to be most useful include periodic acid-Schiff diastase, hyaluronic acid, mucicarmine, CEA, and Leu M1.[2] Histologic appearance seems to be of prognostic value, and most clinical studies show that patients with epithelial mesotheliomas have a better prognosis than those with sarcomatous or mixed histology mesotheliomas.[2-4]

EU's MySQL inquiry may backfire for open source
It takes time, leadership, and a fair amount of luck to successfully build an open-source community. It also takes money. Lots of it, if IBM's $1 billion commitment to Linux is any indication.
Unfortunately, the return on such open-source community investments may be permanently scuppered by the European Commission's misguided defense of MySQL from Oracle's intended acquisition. If the EC is going to punish successful open-source endeavors like MySQL, will investors still clamor to finance the rise of open source?
In many ways, MySQL is the quintessential commercial open-source success story. On the financial side, MySQL managed … Read more

Google's new phone is a game changer
Original post made by Googlewatch on Jan 7, 2010
The phone has received a flurry of reviews since Monday, including a relatively critical review by [Web Link the New York Times].
Its advantages over the iPhone are clearly illustrated with pictures in [Web Link an article today] in the Huffington Post. The new phone boasts a better, replaceable battery, a better camera and a larger touch screen, to name a few of the advantages laid out in this [Web Link handy chart].
Google is going against standard industry practice in selling the phone "unlocked" so users can chose their own service provider. In another unusual move, Google is selling the phone itself at [Web Link google.com/phone].
With a two year contract, the Nexus One costs $179 while the iPhone costs $199. Without a service contract, the Nexus One costs $529 and the iPhone, $599. The cost savings is even more apparent when calculated over the two year contracts for each phone - the Nexus One will save $600 a year over the iPhone when comparing the unlimited plans available for each.
The iPhone's major advantage continues to be the fact that about 100,000 applications are available for it, compared to only about 20,000 for the Nexus One's Android operating system. But some say Google's Android/Nexus One combination may be a game changer in that regard. Unlike the iPhone's operating system, Nexus One's Android operating system is open source so anyone can create and distribute an application for it.

I nominate "game changer" as the most overused phrase in Silicon Valley.
Looks like the google phone has some advantages over the iphone, and likely some disadvantages. Is it better for some users? Probably. Most users? Who knows? Will Apple up the ante at some point and put out something marginally better than this unit? Of course. Then Google will bump past that, and so on.
Game Changer? How? Open source for smart phone apps is old news (and not neccessarily a good thing for end users). A better battery is good, and some other features I read about sound nice, too (the voice recognition sounds like a big improvement over the iphone)-- but they arent turning the smartphone industry on its head by any stretch.

I have followed all the procedures for registering my nook with B&N and I also have downloaded ADE and established an Adobe ID the same as my nook's ID. Everyplace I read I am suppose to be able to open ADE and then plug in my nook and ADE is suppose to recognize it and allow me to authorize it. I have had no luck as ADE does not recognize my nook when I plug it into to the computer and I can't find any suggestions on how to correct this. Anybody have any ideas as to what I can do.
I figured it out!! I'll explain what I know in case someone else experiences this.
I first downloaded the ADE software before I had an Adobe ID. I set up the ID when installing the software and made it the same as my nook ID. I tried the authorization process described in my initial post but nothing happened to my knowledge. I had read somewhre you need to have an Adobe ID before downloading the software so I deleted ADE from my computer and tried again - no luck.
In my search for help I read that when ADE authorizes a nook it sets up several folders on the device. When I looked at the folders on my nook one of the folders was already there - I assumed it came with the nook but it apparently got established when I first tried to authorize the nook. For whatever reason as mentioned above that initial attempt did not work.
Then I decided to delete the folder (adobe.digital.edtions-not sure of exact title) from my nook and then try the process of opening the ADE software and then pluging in my nook and it worked!! The ADE software recognized my device and authorized it. I have since successfully transferred several books I have borrowed from the online public library to my nook.
Again just posting this in case someone else happens to make the same mistaked I did. Hope it helps.
Attach your nook to your computer and it should show up in Windows explorer as another disk drive (I think it even says nook). When you highlight it in windows explorer you should see all the folders and files.
Before you disconnect it be sure to right click on the nook drive and select eject.
Hope that helps - email me if you have more qyestions.
I have dragged the library book and dropped it in the nook library. Now how do I "find" it on the nook so I can open it and read it?
When I look in the "library" on the nook, all I see is the B&N library.
When I plug the nook into the computer I can see the library book on the nook drive on the computer.
Thanks! poked around in forums some more and I found out I need to drag the e-book from the library out of the digital folder and put it in the my documents folder. It does not go there directly. Then I can open it.
Now...I have to explain this whole process to my husband since it is his nook!
Thanks again
I'm having the same problem, but I can't find the file on my nook. I restarted my computer, deleted and re-downloaded the program, reset my nook...everything...and it still wont recognize my nook. I have a mac, and when i open it up in the finder I don't see any adobe files or folders. Any ideas?
To CoreyJeann - - do you mean that you can't find the book on your Nook that was supposed to be downloaded to your Nook? If this is what you're referring, try this
Tap on My Library. If it doesn't automatically come up to My B& N Library, tap "View My B&N Library."
Then tap "Check for New B&N Content." It should show up in your B&N Library fairly quickly.
Hope that helps!
No, it won't find my nook. When I start up the program and plug my nook in, no nook appears on the bookshelf. I've checked for the extra adobe file talked about earlier, but its not there. HELP!!!! I'm about to cry, pull my hair out, or throw a piece of electronic equipment at the wall...
Corey,leeane - I'm having the same problem! I deleted the folder/restarted the computer/restarted
the nook I've done it all. I'm about ready to call it quits and return the thing. I'm on a PC but have the same problems. It happened overnight and now my nook doesn't
recogonize any of my library books and ADE doesn't recgonize my nook!
Corey.Leann - Call Barnes and Noble customer service center. 1-800.the-book option 2. What you have to do is reset your nook to the factory setting via pushing the power button and holding it for 12 seconds then repeating 6 times.This take the nook to the origial software and you have to start from the begining. It worked for me.
ONCE you delete the digitial editions folder ADE will no longer recgonize the nook. It is better to keep the file on there that says adobe.digita;.editions (or whatever) and change it to 'old".
Best of luck!
You are a genius, I have been working on this issue for the last three days. I read your post earlier today, had to take a break or I was going to chuck it out the window. I also had the issue with the Sony ereader already logged as my digital library, however your tips helped me through it. I was NOT going to give up my nook, as I hated my sony ereader. I have finally mastered the borrowing from the library and I can't thank you enought. Now, I just have to wait for all the books I put on hold to become available. Thanks again Tom, I owe you my sanity!!
To all having problems with authorizing your nook IF YOU ARE USING A MAC
I was pulling my hair out, especially when people said to delete the file and then ADE would quickly recognize the nook and authorize it.
This is how I corrected the problem:
I have a mac, and was having difficulty. There was no Digital Editions folder on my nook (at least viewable on my Mac).
I plugged my nook into a windows xp pc, and lo and behold, there was a file on my nook something like: .adobe.digital.editions.
I deleted this file and then plugged my nook back into my Mac.
THEN, ADE recognized my nook and authorized it, and now I'm good to go!!
Thanks Tom for your fantastic post to this forum,
I called Barnes & Noble for Nook support and they said it wasn't their issue and to call Adobe. I spoke with Mark at his desk in the middle-east I'm sure and he told me to go this forum.
Quite disgusted Barnes & Noble was no assistance. Yesterday at Borders from whom I purchased an ePub spent at least an hour with me trying to make a product that wasn't theirs work. I'll be going to Borders again today to show them how to make books purchased from them work on Barnes & Nobles Nook.
Thank you Thank you!!
B&N had to replace my nook (due to the dreded cracked page turning button), and my original device had been authorized on ADE. When I plugged in the new one I could not figure out why I was not getting that prompt from the application.
Tried to have a live chat with some one on the adobe team and they referred me to call tech support, then I saw that there was a forum and just knew I would find that answer there and voila, first thread!
Happy Reading to you all!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have had my Nook for a week and was not able to resolve this until now.
I can echo was others were saying...Adobe and B&N were no real help. I tried live chat with Adobe and they kept telling me to uninstall and reinstall ADE. When I tried to actually call Adobe customer service they told me they couldn't help me because ADE was "not supported" (read "free").
I am a librarian and our system offers digital ebook downloads and I am so happy to have this information to share with my patrons. Ebooks are really catching on. Please share this with all librarians you know; it's not that we don't want to help, it's just that we're just learning this all too!
Thanks again!
I had authorized my Nook when I downloaded Adobe Digital Editions but for some reason Nook never appeared on my ADE bookshelf, but my book on ADE appeared on my nook on the computer, just not on the nook itself. I deleted ADE from my nook menu on the computer and tried again but nothing. Turns out I hadn't ejected and safely removed the nook, just unplugged in and reconnected to the computer. When I ejected and reconnected, I was now prompted to authorize the Nook. I did, and was able to transfer my library book to it. Now I am happy. Bought the Nook to read library books, not to pay for them all. Thank you. Adobe chat told me that ADE was free and they wouldn't help me, just gave me the link to the forum and told me to go find the solution. I had tried that for an hour. They do have a point, though. You get what you pay for.
Ok I know this may sound stupid and I didn't read the owner's manaul to the nook. But if you can't find it on your nook you have to go to My Library and then on the touch screen go to View My Documents. You still have to do the above but I struggled for a while to find it on my nook too...just thought it might help.
Tom, I have read the thread on this, and tried everything. The strange part - there is no Adobe file on my Nook, even after authorizing it through a PC. So the PC will recognize it using Digital Editions, but I have no success with my Mac G5. Any other help you can give me? I'm about to give up on this thing as it took days for B&N to respond about problem accessing magazines, and I 98% of time use Mac, not PC, and want to read library books...thanks!
hi tom. hoping for help as you sound like you've got this figured out! : ) or if ANYONE can help. : )
i am having the authorizing my nook problem too. I cant get thru to the 1-800 number yet.....but have done the power off as you said several times. They must have to reset something too at the 1-800 number as I don't see anything on the ADE yet . Hoping fer some help. lol Its driving me NUTTTTSSSSS!
Thanks in advance.
