Try not to have excessive expectations about the Prom ... it's still just a backpack.

What do you think of the
DAKINE Prom Backpack - Women's - 1500cu in
? Share a...
Kinda Surprised!

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The bag feels great on your back. Has plenty of pockets for storage. And the laptop compartment seems to be protective. At first I thought the front cooler pocket was dumb. But I've used it to keep snacks cool and have since changed my mind. The side pocket that expands is big enough to hold a Nalgene. The pocket at the top is accessible even if you are wearing the backpack so is a great place for keys. I'm very satisfied with this bag.

I purchased a peacock print prom pack about two years ago, which has maintained its "brand new" look. This is by no means a small backpack, as the dimensions so obviously state.
Any backpack that has a laptop compartment tends to be bigger than the typical Jansport bag.
I completely recommend this backpack especially for college students. The straps are padded and sit comfortably on the shoulders without causing any strain. Two mesh pockets on either side of the backpack are perfect for carrying bottles around campus. My 14" laptop fits so snug in the sleeve compartment and still leaves plenty of room in the rest of the bag for 1-2 textbooks and a 2" binder.
The fleece-lined sunglasses pocket is my favorite feature, it fits my sunglasses and iphone perfectly without worrying about them getting scratched or squished since the pocket is located on the top of the backpack!
Oh, and it's not water-resistant but I've never had a problem with water leaking into my backpack when it's pouring on campus.
Great school backpack!

- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift, but have feedback to share
I picked this up for my 9 year old daughter for back to school. She picked it out, and she absolutely adores it. The front pocket cooler is rad, too.
Cute but large!
Member since
This backpack is really huge! Way too big for my 14 year old freshman to carry in high school. A smaller version of this same backpack would have been a good choice, but we bought a smaller, O'Neill backpack that is perfect. Shipping costs to/from should prohibit you from buying from Backcountry.com if in doubt! Very high...

I know this backpack is not waterproof, but would it hold up in wet snow and rain trekking across campus?

600D Polyester is somewhat water resistant, so light moisture will bead off, but it will inevitably begin to absorb some water with heavier rain/snow. Probably good enough to make it between buildings without destroying your sociology paper contained within.

Member since
Does this have an internal security pocket or zippered compartment under the straps?
Great for high school
Member since
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This will be great for my senior school daughter who carries too many books and sometimes her laptop too. Excellent assortment and arrangement of pockets and sleeves, sometimes padded for protection or insulation. Looks sturdy but too soon to say (YKK zips are always a good sign). Highly recommended.
DaKine Prom Pack!

Member since
I know it says the laptop sleeve fits 14" laptops, but would a 15.6" still fit?
Highly recommend
Member since
Got this for my fourteen year old. She loves it!. It has great room. love the front organizer pocket. Water bottle pocket is extremely large. soft eye glass case for contact days and touch screen phone saftey is great bounus! We have broke an L.L Bean every year. This looks like it will last till college! could not be happier!
Way to go Dakine!
Member since
I bought this for my 7th grade daughter and she absolutely loves it! She loves the great look of the material, the soft lined pockets, the side pocket with bottle net (surprise!), roomy big pocket, padded laptop pocket, and super padded back and shoulder straps. I love the amazing quality of this bag. We have previously only purchased Jansport bookbags and Dakine blows them away! We will definitely buy Dakine again.

Ideal gyrator in electrical systems
Gyrators can be used to implement an inductor with a capacitor. The main benefit is that an equivalent inductance can be created with a much smaller physically sized capacitance. In practice, a gyrator is implemented with an op-amp plus additional passive components.
The Gyrator block models an ideal gyrator with no losses, described with the following equations:
V1 | Input voltage |
V2 | Output voltage |
I1 | Current flowing into the input + terminal |
I2 | Current flowing out of the output + terminal |
G | Gyration conductance |
The two electrical networks connected to the primary and secondary windings must each have their own Electrical Reference block.
Use the Variables tab to set the priority and initial target values for the block variables prior to simulation. For more information, see Set Priority and Initial Target for Block Variables.

Chickpea, Spinach, and Chorizo Frittata
Author Notes: Dense, fresh and robustly spiced, this is one of my favourite fritattas. The nutty bite of chickpeas rolled around in the orange oil oozing from the chorizo give the dish a substantial feel, making it good for a full meal not a just side dish. I've made it with spinach, chard and cavalo nero, play around with the flavours, it is very forgiving. - Hadyourtea?
Food52 Review: WHO: Hadyourtea is a writer, a cook, and a "mum."
WHAT: A savory, spicy, hearty frittata that keeps us interested long into a third slice.
HOW: Saute all of the ingredients together, dump in the eggs, and broil.
WHY WE LOVE IT: Light enough to serve for tapas and hearty enough to eat for dinner, this frittata should be up anyone's sleeve. (It also comes together in ten minutes -- an added plus.) We love how the flavor of the chorizo infuses the dish, and how it can at once be casual or elegant. - A&M
Serves 6
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- olive oil
- 1 roasted red pepper
- 200g cooked chickpeas
- 150g chorizo
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 big handfuls spinach
- 5 eggs, beaten
- salt
- Finely chop the onion and garlic and saute in a frying pan in a good glug of olive oil until soft and fragrant.
- Dice the red pepper and chorizo into chickpea-sized chunks and add to the pan with the chickpeas and paprika.
- Saute everything together until the orangy paprika oils run from the chorizo.
- Add the spinach and keep stirring until it wilts and everything starts to meld together in the pan.
- Add the eggs and stir gently to incorporate the eggs into the whole mixture, then allow to set over a medium heat.
- Preheat the grill then slide the whole pan under the grill to set the top of the fritatta, it will only take a minute or two to become light gold and puffy.
- Remove from the grill, gently loosen from the edge of the frying pan with a knife then place a large plate over the pan and invert the fritatta onto it. Then place another plate on top and invert once again so the glossy grilled top of the fritatta is on view.
- Sprinkle with a little sea salt.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing into canape sized cubes or wedges. Serve hot or room temperature as a tapas or with a salad.

this was fabulous- we are vegetarian so I omitted the chorizo and just added more chickpeas and spinach- I also doubled the amount of smoked parka and added a couple shakes of cayenne-finished it off under the broiler with some dollops of goat cheese

I loved this - can't wait to make it again!

This dish is great! Love the unusual combination of chickpeas and eggs.

I made this last night and it was a big hit! Served it with crostini and a kale salad.

Made this for breakfast as is , minus step 6 (I don't have an oven safe skillet so I put in the oven for 13 min. at 350 degrees) and it was a HUGE hit! Both my husband and I loved it! The chickpeas add a wonderful creaminess to the fritatta and the chorizo packs a nice spicy punch to start the day. Will definitely make this again!

Thank you for the cooking tip, Laura. As I don't own a grill, I used your technique and it turned out beautifully.

Awsome recipes, thank you for sharing ALL DELICIOUS RECIPES.

All your revamped versions sound amazing, especially the Mexican chorizo and jalapeno flavour, it is such a pantry staple for me.
10 months ago glammie
Made this this AM. Subbed white kidney beans for the chickpeas (I was out ... which I didn't know until it was too late), a fresh red pepper that I sauteed with the onion. I also swapped out 2 eggs for three egg whites. Fab! I had one chorizo link left over so y'know I'm making this again next weekend!
10 months ago chefbonandee
yes! so much yes. I subbed longaniza sausage for the chorizo, left out the red pepper, and added chopped crimini mushrooms and serrano chiles, and topped each piece with a big dollop of greek yogurt. oh man was it good. the boyfriend had some for lunch and went back for the leftovers for dinner. this one is a keeper!

I made this dish with Mexican chorizo and added a diced jalapeno for some extra heat. Delicious! I several lingering memories of messy frittata flipping, so I opted to skip step #6 and bake the entire pan at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. One day I shall prevail, but for now the baking turned out great.

I love chickpeas but I make this dish with hominy and it is delicious.
11 months ago Hadyourtea?
Bikracer - I sometimes make a full vegetarian version starting with onions sauteed in smoked paprika and miss out the chorizo altogether - its still lovely - the chick peas, spinach and paprika are a fabulous combo
11 months ago bikracer
That sounds delicious, I love pretty much anything with Spanish smokey paprika in it. I'll have to try onions sautéed in it in other recipes as well. Thanks for the idea! :)
11 months ago Hadyourtea?
Hi forestvillain, I use Spanish - can't get Mexican where I live but am sure it would be amazing with either. I thought that about all beans till I grew up and now I love them. Let me know how it tastes with Mexican chorizo if you try it.
11 months ago forestvillain
I'll likely try both, as each holds its own virtues. I'll be sure to let you know. Thanks again.
11 months ago bikracer
I don't eat red meat but get chicken chorizo from our local organic mkt. I have also had the vegetarian soyrizo and that's really good too. This recipe looks like it's really easy to vary. I can't wait to try it!
11 months ago forestvillain
Does this use Spanish or Mexican chorizo? Can't wait to try this! As a kid, I thought chickpeas were like biting into a sack of wet flour; as I approach 60, I love finding new ways to incorporate them into new dishes! Thanks for this recipe.
about 1 year ago juliunruly
This is amazing. Unfortunately, mine did not invert as gracefully as I hoped. So I will be slicing and serving from the pan. Otherwise, really delicious.
about 1 year ago Kaja1105
I made this with soy chorizo--an ingredient I had never tried before--for a party that included vegetarians, and it was delicious, a big hit with the meat eaters as well.

This was fantastic! Although between the two of us, we inhaled the whole thing... whoops! :)

Thanks so much for this recipe. I make fritattas often and always thought they were a healthy alternative to bacon and egg breakfast. The addition of the beans is genius!!
This dish is hearty and filling. We loved it. I also added some sliced yucon gold potatoes.
Great versital recipe!

On the trail from the Schynige Platte to First, we will pass two different mountain lakes, the Sägistal and Bachalp lakes.

Zermatt and the Matterhorn have been visited by mountaineers from all around the world since the first successful ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865.

I had a questions asked of me on my last blog page.(but what happens to the sub's soul if she has given her master everything she has to give.....and then he tires of her, perhaps discarding her for another? Is she disgraced and doomed to debilitating depression? Is there anything left for her that's still worth living for?) I am going to tell you these are great questions. Thanks for asking.
Well that depends on the sub and Contract. There are diffrent levels on every thing and diffrent styles. If it was a one night stand nothing. A temp agreement she knows better than to get attached. Dating ok it migh hurt her but she or he will bounce back. Long term the sub will need a break but get over it and try again. Marriage it's unusual a Dom and Sub break at this point but it usually hurts the one being left. The Dom included. Just because a Sub is submissive to a Dom doesn't mean she hast control. She is her own person and any Dom that tells you other wise is a fake.
when they break apart nori ther side is disgraced. The community wont allow it. Harassing one of your fellow peers or a ex in the BDSM world Is a red flag and giant no no, and yes there are things for both sides to live for even if they are left. They just learn more about them selfs like most do and move On.
The best thing to remember is:
A Dowan wants to feel needed & a Sub wants to be wanted.
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Lord Acton
Well….I don't know too much about the 'life style', nor did I read 50 shades. But it just seems to me that a woman must be prepared to survive…..not only just for her sake but for her babies too!
Fantasy is fine and so is experimentation….but just never forget that there's very few people in this world that you can really count on. I can't stress enough how much I believe in the necessity for a woman to have an education and career to fall back on in case things don't work out the way she planned.
I hope you are in school and preparing for your future! Choices are good….poverty is bad! Good luck and take good care.

For Grown-Ups: Inappropriate Elf on the Shelf Ideas
By Sabrina James On
November 28, 2012
And there you have it. The one sentence that single-handedly defines the holiday season for any parent on social media: "Are you Elf enough?"
It's that oh-so-joyous time of year again when your worthiness as a parent is compared and contrasted on news feeds far and wide with the vintage-hued instagram photos of your peers. An elf fishing (been there, pinned that), an elf on the Christmas tree (how very 2010 of you), elf donuts (now that's clever – you might get a point there). We're all scouring Pinterest, following The Elf on the Shelf on Twitter, doing anything to try and find the most creative elf idea ever. Why? Because we're desperate to provide our children with a magical holiday season, right? Well, kinda.
Plus: Clever Elf on the Shelf Ideas
We all start out with the best of intentions. Thanksgiving ends, we pack our paper plate turkey craft décor into the garage and secretly dig out that white Elf on the Shelf box from its hiding place. The kids go to sleep and we get to work finding the best hiding spot for (insert your elf's name here). In the morning we giggle with joy watching little faces light up when they realize their red-suited friend made his appearance. We also breathe a sigh of relief. Ahhh… a whole month of easy-breezy discipline. The elf is always watching. Couple that with the threat of the naughty list and poof! Beds are made and tantrums are stalled instantaneously. The Elf on the Shelf is the best behavior modification tool ever. But then something happens to us. WE get excited. The elf is just so much darn fun. And with Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter… the whole world (wide web) can see what you can do with your elf. And even though I've been an avid elf-on-the-shelfer for years, I must admit, my G-rated antics don't hold a candle to the clever parents playing this year's Elf of the Shelf game. The newest holiday trend has nothing to do with our kids at all, this time the elf magic is just for us, the parents! A chance to have some fun of our own in between carpool lines, cookie baking, nog drinking, and Christimas shopping. Yes, please!
The folks over at babyrabies.com are holding an Inappropriate Elf Contest. This mompetition is all about who can create the most lol-worthy elf moment. It's all about adult humor and current viral trends. That's right, an official contest, unlike one we are already having via social media with our friends. Someone is finally calling this elf game what it is… and we can't stop laughing.
The question is, are you elf enough? Before you pull the flour out of the pantry to make a sweet snow angel elf, join in on the fun! Snap a photo of your mischievous elf and enter this contest! You can win some amazing prizes and a few facebook likes in the process. Score!
Plus: How the Elf on the Shelf Saved Christmas
What do you think? Should the elf stay G-Rated or is it ok to take naughty elf photos? Share some of your favorite elf ideas in the comments below and if you decide to play, link to your Inappropriate Elf entry! Would love to see more!
Thanks to Amanda over at theecofriendlyfamily.com who I think is winning the contest so far with her "Are You Elf Enough" entry. The photo and this hilarious behind-the-scenes collage are amazing.

Precious Moments Christmas Eve Drive
My friend, Roy Swanson, alias Santa, lived in San Francisco many years ago. One Christmas he decided to cut the top off his wagon. You might ask yourself, why? Well, he wanted to load it with mega stuff and drive through all areas of San Francisco on Christmas Eve dressed as Santa, that's why! He would go into all areas of the city from the rich as well as somewhat dangerous areas and everyone would stop what they were doing to wave at "Santa". There is nothing like Santa, who can bring a smile to the face of each person, no matter whom or where they are in life. Oh what a magical night! - Pipka.
This is the third figurine of a five year series of Santa traveling around the world in different forms of transportation. Each Santas Journey figurine is limited to 950, making it a treasured piece of art. The first in this series was the Antique Car Santa (#10120) and the second being Santa's Red Truck (#10126). A unique feature is the novelty lighted lantern on each years sculpture; this battery operated lantern is intended for temporary, novelty lighting use. It is not intended for a nightlight. Popularity of this piece may warrant additional editions. If this occurs, future editions will be marked accordingly.$120.00

The following tests are commonly used to determine if any underlying condition is causing thunderclap headaches.
Testing often starts with a computerized tomography (CT) scan of the head to search for an underlying cause of the headache. CT scans take X-rays that create slice-like, cross-sectional images of your brain and head. A computer combines these images to create a full picture of your brain. Sometimes an iodine-based dye is used to augment the picture.
Sometimes a spinal tap (lumbar puncture) may be needed as well. With this procedure, the doctor removes a small amount of the fluid that surrounds your brain and spinal cord. The cerebrospinal fluid sample can be tested for signs of bleeding or infection.
In some cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be done for further assessment. With this imaging study, a magnetic field and radio waves are used to create cross-sectional images of the structures within your brain.
Magnetic resonance angiography MRI machines can also be used to map the blood flow inside your brain in a test called a magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).

Best Practices
Implementing best practices for handling and merchandising can pump up your mango sales.
Mango Handling at the Warehouse
- Move fruit directly to cold storage of 54-60° F at receiving
- NEVER store whole mangos below 50° F
- Maintain relative humidity at 90-95%
- Scrub ethylene from cold room or do one fresh air exchange each day
- Minimize exposure to extreme hot or cold temperatures during loading and unloading
- Outgoing trucks should be pre-cooled, but not below 50° F
Mango Handling at Retail
- Store whole mangos at 54-60° F, NEVER below 50° F
- If stored at room temperature, order mangos more frequently
- Display whole mangos at room temperature, NEVER in refrigeration
- Inspect displays regularly and remove shriveled or injured fruit immediately
Mango Merchandising
- Educate customers about selection, ripening and cutting by using point of sale materialsfrom the NMB
- Group mangos by variety, size and ripeness level
- Keep displays well stocked, but to avoid bruising, do not stack too high
- Never stack heavier fruit such as pineapple, papaya or coconuts above mangos
- Mangos provide 40% of tropical fruit category sales, so maintain high-traffic shelf space year-round where your customers can ALWAYS find mangos
- Build secondary mango displays in the produce department or front of store, especially when mango volumes are highest and when mangos are on promotion
- Build sales by carrying multiple varieties and sizes of mangos
Order the Backroom Poster from the NMB to help train store-level associates, and check out the Video Training Showcase for videos that will bring them up to speed in a hurry. The Mango Postharvest Best Management Practices Manual is another great source of information about mango handling from the farm to the your customer's shopping cart.
The National Mango Board in conjunction with UC-Davis (Department of Plant Science) and University of Florida (IFAS Center for Food Distribution & Retailing) held a Mango Temperature Management and Ripening Program Webinar for Retailers and Importers.

After a night of partying, Wade wakes up with a massive hangover, an uninvited houseguest and no memory of what happened the night before. watch
Duck Dynasty daughter Sadie Robertson got her Sweet 16 wish come true: a serenade from American Idol winner Scotty McCreery.
During the party, which featured a "redneck red carpet," McCreery sang a duet with the show's star Willie Robertson and even danced with the birthday girl, Us Weekly reports.
The winner of American Idol's 12th season won't be announced until May 16, but it seems as though, if it were up to the judges, one contestant would already be wearing the crown.
With the field narrowed to a fierce foursome — Candice Glover, Kree Harrison, Amber Holcomb and Angie Miller — who would all be deserving of a first-place finish, there's no telling who will be sent home along the way. But as the ladies prepare to duke it out over the next several weeks, the judges seem to be nudging one contestant ahead of the rest. And that would be Amber Holcomb.

Before American Idol's results show Thursday, the question on everyone's minds was whether Lazaro Arbos would survive another week or whether the show would have its first-ever all-female Top 5 heading into the final weeks.
There's more tearful soul-searching than singing in Fox's Glee (Thursday, 8/7c) as the show tackles an issue that couldn't be more timely and topical, on Capitol Hill and in any community that worries about its children's safety in the wake of recent (and not-so-recent) tragedies. The episode is titled "Shooting Star," which should give you an indication of just what triggers such intense emotional anxiety in the halls of McKinley High. Some would argue that the way the story ultimately plays out trivializes the issue, and maybe they're right, but as unpleasant realities seep into what is usually a musical-comedy fantasy, the glee club won't be the only ones left shaken and perhaps even a little more awakened.
To watch or not to watch? That is the question TVGuide.com examines as Idol enters the twilight of its tween years:
Nashville, the city, and Nashville, the country music industry, are expecting big things from Nashville, the new fall drama from ABC. The serialized drama, which stars Connie Britton as an country singer juggling her home life and struggling to remain a relevant artist, might not have made it on the air a few years ago.
But just as country music is moving toward the mainstream, the mainstream is gravitating toward country music — and TV execs, hungry for audiences, are eager to tap into country's loyal fan base. "We know from our proprietary research that about 96 million Americans qualify as country music fans, based on their listening habits and purchase behavior," says Country Music Association marketing director Cory Chapman. "That leads to a big opportunity for a network to go after that audience."
VIDEO: American Idol's Scotty McCreery Falls Off Stage During ConcertAmerican Idol champ Scotty McCreery took a tumble off the stage during his concert last week.
"Dagum @BradPaisley pranked me again.. he narrowed up the stage on me for my last song..... #MeetTheCrowdNight #ImOk," he tweeted on Friday.

TULSA, Oklahoma -- A strong second half effort wasn't enough for the Sam Houston men to overcome Oral Roberts Thursday as the Kats fell 62-53 to the Eagles at the Mabee Center.
Sam Houston outscored ORU 40-33 in the final 20 minutes. James Thomas and Will Bond each scored 11 while Terrance Motley added 10.
Warren Niles and Damen Bell-Holter scored 25 and 24 points, respectively for Oral Roberts.
"Oral Roberts has a good team with some good players," SHSU head coach Jason Hooten said. "We left them open too many times."
Oral Roberts never trailed, jumping out to a 16-8 lead in the first four minutes and leading 41-24 at intermission. The Eagles came out hot, hitting 18-of-33 (54.5%) from the floor in the first 20 minutes. ORU ended the game 22-of-44 (50%).
"I was disappointed with our effort in the first half," Hooten said. "But we came out strong in the second half and hit some shots and played defense."
The Kats cut the margin to eight twice, the first time at 58-50 on a lay-up by James Thomas with eight minutes to play period. The basket was part of a 26-17 run for the Kats in the first 12 minutes of the period.
Another late run highlighted by three-point baskets by Nathaniel Mason and Paul Baxter brought the Kats to within six, 70-64, with less than a minute to go.
"We had two open threes that we missed in the final minute that would have made it interesting," Hooten said. "Now we've got to turn around and get ready for a very talented Central Arkansas team."
The victory lifted ORU to 15-10 for the season and 10-3 in Southland play to keep the Eagles in striking distance of first place Stephen F. Austin and second place Northwestern State.
Sam Houston dropped to 13-11 for the year and 6-6 in league action.
The Bearkats head to Conway, Arkansas, where Sam Houston will face Central Arkansas Saturday afternoon.

Building efficient websites with AJAX
Connecting Lines
Drawing the connecting lines is slightly more difficult. Because JavaScript does not support graphical elements such as lines or circles, the trick here is to draw the graphical elements pixel by pixel as tiny div elements. Walter Zorn's jsGraphics abstracts this complex process, giving developers basic shapes such as lines, circles, and polygons.
The connect() function relies on these to draw two boxes with lines. It ascertains the box positions at run time to allow the graphic to scale to the font size.
The displayHierarchy() function then redraws the connecting lines.
Lawrence Carvalhos' TextResizeDetector [15] calls this function whenever the user changes the font size. The result is a loss-free, zoomable AJAX widget for tree structures that cannot be implemented using bitmaps.
Pros and Cons
Many sites benefit from JavaScript and AJAX with respect to usability. Short response times and the ability to do without page reloads are greeted enthusiastically by users. However, the use of AJAX can cause issues that do not occur with static pages. For example, users cannot simply click forward and back buttons to navigate.
Pages modified dynamically by JavaScript thwart user expectations. The problem even affects the simple dynamic menus referred to earlier. If users click to pop up a submenu, the back button will not take them to the previous page status; rather, it opens the page visited previously.
This might not be a big issue with a menu, but if the client-side script changes the page substantially, making it appear to be a new page from the user's viewpoint, confusion is likely.
The first thing to consider is whether quick response, or a working history, and the ability to bookmark subpages, are more useful to the surfer. Although the use of a client-side JavaScript that pulls down menus without reloading the page or that re-sorts tables is always going to be an elegant solution, the usability of a shop or catalog page with hundreds of subpages would be seriously affected when users lose the ability to navigate with forward and back buttons.
Workarounds have been found for the history and bookmark problems. For example, Google Maps provides an alternative URL containing the GET parameters for the section of the map.
Users can't bookmark the page loaded in the browser. Instead, right-clicking the link shown on the page adds a bookmark.
Other workarounds use the HTML anchor that is normally used to store specific positions on a page in a URL. The anchor is the part of the URL that follows the hash sign (#).

THE Awards archive
THE Awards winners 2013
From hundreds of submissions, and the dozens that made the shortlists, our judges have selected 18 universities, individuals and teams as the best of the best. The quality that has shone through in every category is yet another reminder that higher education is a sector in which the UK truly excels. All who work in it should be proud.
THE Awards winners 2012
Congratulations to the 2012 THE Award winners. The winners were announced at a gala awards ceremony, hosted by David Walliams, at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane, London on 29 November 2012.
THE Awards winners 2011
This year's THE Awards see the university's three core missions of research, teaching and engagement represented in an array of innovation and inspiration. Among the research achievements that captured the imagination of our judges are a wristwatch blood-pressure monitor, a light-based decontaminant that destroys hospital superbugs, and software that is able to help traffic flow more smoothly and increase the safety of jet engines.
THE Awards winners 2010
What do a rubbish-collecting recommissioned milk float, "magnetricity" and the bombardier beetle have in common? They have all played a part in helping academics and their universities triumph in the 2010 Times Higher Education Awards. If proof were ever needed of the imagination, innovation and sheer diversity of UK higher education's output, it's here.
THE Awards winners 2009
Once again, the amazing display of talent in UK higher education astounded us, from the lecturer who developed a "Haptic Cow" to teach veterinary students, through to the project helping students with disabilities enter the job market, the fashion school for young South Africans affected by the HIV virus and the research team working to restore the Cutty Sark.
THE Awards winners 2008
Choosing the 18 winners from the shortlisted entries has been extremely difficult and they can rightly be proud of their success: each represents excellence in their field and we congratulate them all. We would like to thank all our sponsors, the Judges and everyone involved in making the Times Higher Education Awards 2008 a fitting tribute to the very best of UK academe.
THE Awards winners 2007
Judging the entries for the third annual Times Higher Awards proved even more difficult this year than last. Not only did the judges have to contend with many excellent entries, they also had a much larger number of them. More than 90 per cent of UK universities entered in one category or more – a truly impressive response.

The town was established in 1910 as the fulfillment of a young insurance agents dream. F.Z. Bishop envisioned a model town, surrounded by farm tracts. He made a deal for 2,300 acres, bisected by the rails of the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railroad. By the end of 1912, the town had grown to 1,200 residents, and Bishop had sold more than 40,000 acres. Today, agriculture remains a mainstay of the economy.
