There are a few Instructables out there on how to create stills for various purposes. Usually these include a large amount of small diameter, flexible copper refrigerator tubing. While these stills can be quite effective, there is just something a little hokey about them. Especially the part where you run a large amount of expensive copper tubing through a bucket of standing water to cool the condensate. Then there's the issue of a high surface area on the interior of the tubing, which makes small volume distillations difficult to impossible. Plus they're bulky, unwieldy, and they look like a meth lab. I do have to give the authors of these projects some credit however, since DIY is typically about getting the job done, form follows function, etc etc. BUT...
I say there is a better way.
By using a small amount of 1/2" and 3/4" copper pipe, it is possible to build a lightweight, compact, collapsible, interchangeable, universal distillation apparatus for anything you could possibly hope to distill. The apparatus featured here is capable of efficient low to medium volume distillations and could in principle be scaled for use in high volume applications. It is constructed from relatively inexpensive parts which are available at any hardware store.
UPDATE 10/27/2011: If you find the start-up costs for this project to be prohibitive, I recommend this instructable.
I was inspired to build a distillation apparatus during an organic chemistry lab where we were required to identify an unknown organic solvent by IR spectroscopy. The samples they gave use weren't pure and we had to distill them first so the IR machine could get a good spectrum. This apparatus is modeled after the one I used in that lab. In the lab the apparatus was made of lab quality glassware. Since I don't know how to work with glass, and I DO have experience remodeling houses, I decided to combine my experiences to make an affordable, clean, safe, glass alternative distillation apparatus.
So. Now I've got your attention. Read on, my friend.
"Therefore, it can be suggested that general neurotoxicity produced by aluminum is not modified by ethanol. However, the aluminum load caused by aluminum exposure, may be influenced by ethanol co-exposure."
In other words, ethanol MAY help your body absorb more aluminum, but doesn't convert aluminum into poison. The same could be said of having a beer with the meal you cooked in an aluminum pot.
The methodology of the paper included dissolving large amounts of aluminum in "nitric acid, sulphuric acid and perchloric acid in the ratio of 6:1:1" and feeding it to rats. Wort is slightly acidic, nowhere near H2SO4 and HNO3.
Aluminum metal is highly reactive. It reacts with oxygen to form Al2O3, which is one of the most stable compounds known. It's sapphire. It's sandpaper. Any aluminum exposed to air will immediately form a coating of Al2O3. Al2O3 has a boiling point of 2,977°C, which is a little hotter than a pot still can get. Other aluminum compounds tend to have extremely high boiling points or undergo decomposition at high temperatures before being able to boil. That means aluminum in a pot still is very unlikely to make it out of the pot still, since that requires the aluminum compounds to boil.
You might run into a few more problems if the condenser was made of aluminum. Or if the container used to store the spirit was made of aluminum. But I very much doubt an aluminum pot still could do anything worse than if your grandmother cooked you some spaghetti sauce in an aluminum pot.
I understand the "better safe than sorry" mentality. Aluminum is kind of a touchy topic. There is a lot of pseudoscience surrounding relatively mundane things like aluminum, copper, magnets, vaccines, etc. But there is a big difference between informed caution and fear mongering. Given the evidence considered here I hardly think warnings of death are warranted.
I understand most of your design but am having trouble with the thermometer. were is the sensor located.is it in the column above the packing. I'm just not sure.
The probe should be positioned to read the temperature of the vapor right where the vapor travels through the T section on its way to the condenser. Don't let the probe touch the column packing or the side of the column, and be sure the probe is sticking through the stopper, not with the tip inside the rubber. It should be measuring the vapor temperature only.
Nice looking fractional pot still, I would have tried to find 304 or 316 stainless for it because of the pain in the ass cleaning of copper after each run or you get opper sulphate in it and then you go blind, but keep the copper scrubbers because if theres no copper at all there will be an unpleasant rotten egg smell
Looks like your running it a bit to fast, to get a purer spirit it should be about 80 deg c - for a pot still might be a bit higher but not to close to 100c
Nice job in the soldering make sure it's lead free solder or you will get led poisoning without a gun involved hahahaha but seriously it's no laugthing matter
Heres my setup
All glassware and fits to a modified 50 litre keg
I found this from a chemestry supply store for $250... do you mean that glasss would be safer to use... and are you saying coppy plays a role in filtration?
"If you want a clean-looking joint (no solder blobs), quickly (before the solder solidifies) brush the exterior of the joint with the flux brush AWAY FROM YOUR FACE. This will remove the majority of the exterior solder drippage."
I'll try it next time I plumb, for whatever reason!
interest. It is illegal to do any distillation at home for any purpose
unless you buy a distillation permit from the government to
"distill fuel." The information that I gathered was, In Illinois it cost
$3600.00 for a permit for fuel distillation for one (1) year. No
individual is allowed to distill spirits for their personal or any other
use. You can make beer and wine to your hearts content, but distillation
will end in trouble. The main reasoning that was given was the government
claims that you will get lead poising. They think the public is still
using car radiator to use as a condenser.
There is too much profit from the taxes collected from the sale of the spirits.
A great portion of that revenue would be lost, So the government spreads the
false story about getting lead poisoning if you distill your own.
We have come a great distance since prohibition and World War II, but the
government wants to keep us there. Locked in that period's frame of mindset.
Lead poisoning could happen, if you use lead xDDD
Prohibition in distilling is only for money, gov money, big companies money. As many other things, they are not interested in you know the procedures but as information flows then it's better forbidden some activities.
There is a risk in distilling but i think it's not much more than cooking with the pressure pot (a real one with the valve).
I'm interested in this instructable just for essences (herbal essences).
Nice job :D
adamant about no one distilling. Home breweries for beer and wine are okay
because you are fermenting, zero tolerance on distilling.
People do get away with copper stills all the time by avoiding hotspots, even commercially, but it is risky.
- expensive but very good and lasts. Before quickfit we used to use glass tubing and corks.
In industry potable liquids including wine, beer and spirits are processed through stainless steel. When I was a teenager I made a water purification still from aluminium. The tank eventually corroded but it provided many years of service.
At least that is what I have been lead to believe.
When copper is used in alcoholic beverage industrial stills care is taken to ensure that no hot spots occur that could cause the reduction of alcohol to aldehyde. The small trace of copper introduced into alcohol during contact at low temperature is usually low enough that drinkers are not at much risk.
Yeast doesn't produce significant sulfides during fermentation, though often H2S is used to destroy wild yeasts in the ingredients before the introduction of the yeast culture. Sulfides are pretty toxic to yeasts. The low pH of the must would make the formation of copper / sulphide compounds unlikely, most trace sulfides end up as gaseous H2S and leave the system.

Capt. Angela S. Shaffer said the Ogdensburg branch annually serves about 120 families from Ogdensburg, Lisbon, Morristown and Heuvelton.
It is a client list that shows no sign of getting any shorter, she said.
There is always a need, especially for toys, Mrs. Shaffer said.
The program is income-eligible. Those who apply must present two recent pay stubs, a St. Lawrence County Department of Social Services budget, child support documents, a list of expenses and Social Security cards or benefit cards for proof of family in household.
All applicants are asked to submit a list of at least three wish list items and clothing sizes for each child.
The age cutoff is 12 years. No teenagers are eligible, especially because of toys.
Theyre tough to buy for, Mrs. Shaffer said. They want (video) games. They dont want the basic toys.
The food and toys will be obtained by the Ogdensburg Neighborhood Center and Toys for Tots, and will be distributed at the Salvation Army on Dec. 19.
For more information or to arrange for evening sign-ups, call the Salvation Army at 393-3351.

Washington Students Become "Mad About Money" With Financial Literacy Theatre Program
DFI Sponsors Statewide Tour to Help Kids Understand Personal Finance
OLYMPIA – The words "budgeting," "investing" and "credit" will be the new buzz words throughout Washington this spring as Mad About Money, a live, in-school theater show, comes to area schools. Sponsored by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), performers with the National Theatre for Children, Inc. (NTC) will teach middle-school students about the principles of saving and spending with its unique mixture of personal finance and humor. The tour begins today and continues through June. By the tour's end, the troupe will introduce over 12,000 teachers and students to money management.
"It is critical that smart spending habits start early. In a survey administered by the Jump$tart Coalition, 65 percent of high-school seniors, on average, failed a test that determined their knowledge of personal-finance basics," said Scott Kinney, DFI Director of Communications and president of the Washington Jump$tart Coalition. "Mad About Money unites improv comedy with proven education techniques to help students understand the basics of personal finance – an education that will serve them well throughout their lives."
"Financial literacy is unacceptably low in this country," adds Lewis Mandell, Ph.D., professor of finance and managerial economics at the State University of New York-Buffalo. "Having evaluated the impact of NTC's financial-literacy programs on students' attitudes toward managing their finances, we know that shows like Mad About Money are an effective way to improve their knowledge about saving and budgeting."
Mad About Money will tour 48 middle schools covering Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Vancouver, Yakima, and Spokane. The show features professional actors who play a wide variety of colorful characters in four sketches. While watching a dad teach his son the difference between "needs" and "wants," or an unsuspecting car buyer learn about credit from a smooth-talking salesman, students learn to prioritize how their money is spent, the importance of developing a savings habit and ways to invest for the future.
Beyond the in-school performances, Mad About Money program components include educational workbooks in Spanish and English, take-home activities, Internet exercises, handy guidebooks, curricular aids for teachers, and a rigorous testing method for measuring program results.

Katy Perry has rocked a lot of looks in her time, but we never had her down as a secret goth.
As she hit the NARM Music Biz Awards in LA last night, the singer channelled her inner angry teenager, slapping on a face full of dark heavy make up.
Admittedly though, she's much more glam than those goth kids at school with their long, greasy black hair and Korn hoodies.
She teamed deep plum lips and smoky eyes with a long black, sheer panelled dress and killer Louboutin heels.
Just so long as she doesn't start taking musical inspiration from Marilyn Manson, we're willing to let this one slide.
It was a big night for K. Pez as she also picked up the award for Artist of the Year.
Of her win, NARM president Jim Donio praised the "global superstar".
"Katy's music was absolutely everywhere over the past year, and her dominance of the singles charts is a nearly unprecedented accomplishment," he said.
"She has unquestionably blossomed into a true global superstar and has earned this award in every sense of the word."

Boston Metropolitan Area
Epilepsy: Surgical Options for Epilepsy
What Is Epilepsy Surgery?
Medication can control seizures in most people with epilepsy, but for about 30% of patients, they aren't effective or are intolerable. In some cases, brain surgery may be an option.
Epilepsy surgery is an operation on the brain to control seizures and improve the person's quality of life. There are two main types of epilepsy surgery:
- Surgery to remove the area of the brain producing seizures
- Surgery to interrupt the nerve pathways through which seizure impulses spread within the brain
Surgery is considered only if the area of the brain where the seizures start, called the seizure focus, can be clearly identified, and if the area to be removed is not responsible for any critical functions, such as language, sensation and movement. Extensive evaluation and testing are necessary to determine if surgery is appropriate.
Who Is a Candidate for Epilepsy Surgery?
Surgery may be an option for people with epilepsy whose seizures are disabling and/or are not controlled by medication, or when the side effects of medication are severe and greatly affect the person's quality of life. Patients with other serious medical problems, such as cancer or heart disease, usually are not considered for epilepsy surgery.

Kids' App of the Week: Toca Tailor
November 2, 2012
© Toca Tailor
Works on: iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad
Cost: $1.99
For: Fashion-forward kids
Any time Toca Boca releases an app, I know before even looking at it that it's going be great. Toca Tailor fits the bill again and is this app developer's latest stroke of genius. Budding fashion designers will delight in the sartorial splendor of this app.
Kids get to act as "tailors" and customize outfits, patterns and styles for four different characters. Upon choosing one of Toca's signature characters to dress, kids can figure out which patterns they like best, sleeve length, shirt/pants style and then even add things like pockets and fun buttons to their creations. When the outfit is complete, of course, it's time to accessorize with hats, sunglasses, shoes and more.
What's even cooler is that kids can even use the built-in camera to photograph anything for use as a clothes pattern for your kid's stylish model. A yellow banana or the living room rug can become the design for a pair of pants or a shirt. Another cool camera function is that once the model is dressed and styled to the max, kids can take a picture of their surroundings and pop their models right into the scene. Genius.
And true to all Toca Boca apps, there are no in-app purchases or ads, giving stylish kids the complete freedom to design and style to their heart's content.

New And Improved Holiday Sides
If you have been making the same side dishes year after year for the holidays it's easy to get tired of them. Try updating your favorite standbys with a few tips to make the old new again.
1. Mashed PotatoesA traditional side dish for many holiday tables is mashed potatoes, but instead of serving up the same old potatoes with butter try adding some pizzazz with non-traditional extras. For example, mixing in just about any kind of cheese gives instant flavor, blue cheese crumbles, grated Cheddar cheese, or Parmesan cheese are proven crowd pleasers. >>Spicy, Chunky Mashed PotatoesAlso, you can add a variety of herbs and spices, like rosemary, thyme, or a few pinches of cayenne pepper for some kick. >>Truffled Mashed PotatoesRoasted garlic is usually a favorite as are caramelized onions. To make them extra creamy sour cream or buttermilk work well or for extra flavor use chicken or vegetable stock or flavored oils (truffle, lemon, pepper, etc). >>Roasted Garlic Mashed PotatoesYou can even add in steamed veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, or corn or use a different type of potato (like sweet or purple potatoes). >>Artichoke Mashed PotatoesFinally, try making a mashed potato casserole. You get the creaminess of mashed potatoes plus a crispy brown crust on top and you can even prep this in advance and simply bake the day you need it. >>Potato Casserole Recipes2. StuffingStuffing can get pretty boring sometimes to give it a creative spin by adding lots of texture. Fruit and nuts are great choices or a variety of vegetables besides the normal carrots, onions, and celery. Apples and pears give stuffing a sweet bite along with adding walnuts or pecans. >>Apple, Walnut Sage StuffingMushrooms, leeks, or fennel also add a tasty flavor. Try adding fresh herbs and spices like sage, cumin, coriander, and tarragon or even lemon or lime zest. You can also mix in meat like bacon, turkey pieces, or ground beef. But if you want something totally unique then substitute bread for wild or whole grain rice or cornbread. >>Chorizo Cornbread Stuffing3. Green Bean CasseroleGreen bean casserole has been a holiday favorite for years but of course it can use an update. The typical recipe includes cream of mushroom soup, cut green beans, and fried onions but you can substitute all of these ingredients for a different take on a classic. >>Gourmet Green Bean CasseroleIn place of cream of mushroom soup, you can use just about any other creamy soup, like cream of asparagus, cream of broccoli, cream of celery, or even cream of chicken. Simply use your favorite soup in place of cream of mushroom. Or if you don't want to use soup at all you can make your own base using sour cream and your choice of vegetable. Even the green beans can be changed up. Corn, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, or sweet potatoes all make great creamy casseroles. Finally, instead of using fried onions, try using cracker crumbs, bread crumbs, or grated cheese to top it off. If you want to keep this dish somewhat classic only substitute out one of the ingredients, but if you want something completely different you can switch up all the ingredients. 4. Candied CarrotsServing candied carrots might be the only way you get your kids to eat vegetables but you can even make these more fun and tasty. >>Glazed CarrotsFirst, you can candy just about any vegetable from broccoli to cauliflower to squash to sweet potatoes so try using a variety of vegetables. As for the glaze, you don't have to use the traditional brown sugar. You can go with honey, molasses, maple syrup, or even soy sauce. You can also flavor the glaze with citrus like orange or lemon juice, ginger, cinnamon, apple cider, or jams like apricot. >>Mustard Glazed CarrotsYou can even use alcohol for flavor like whisky, rum, wine, or champagne however to make a very rich sauce you can simply glaze your vegetables with butter and spices. 5. Sweet Potato PieWhether you eat this as a side dish or as dessert, sweet potato pie can get boring sometimes. Instead of the traditional pie topped with marshmallows try topping it with a walnut or pecan crumble or adding nuts to the crust. If you typically make a pie make a casserole instead with no crust and a crunchy cinnamon-spiced pecan topping. >>Sweet potato pieAnother way to be creative with sweet potato pie is to make individual casseroles in soufflé dishes for each guest to enjoy on their own or try making a sweet potato tart baked in puff pastry dough. >>5 Holiday sweet potatoes recipesYou can even make a more savory sweet potato pie by adding caramelized onions, peppers, bacon, and fresh herbs-just be sure to leave off the marshmallow topping.

Internet Pharmacies:
Some Pose Safety Risks for Consumers and Are Unreliable in Their Business Practices
GAO-04-888T: Published: Jun 17, 2004. Publicly Released: Jun 17, 2004.

As the demand for and the cost of prescription drugs rise, many consumers have turned to the Internet to purchase them. However, the global nature of the Internet can hinder state and federal efforts to identify and regulate Internet pharmacies to help assure the safety and efficacy of products sold. Recent reports of unapproved and counterfeit drugs sold over the Internet have raised further concerns. This testimony summarizes a GAO report: Internet Pharmacies: Some Pose Safety Risks for Consumers, GAO-04-820 (June 17, 2004). GAO was asked to examine (1) the extent to which certain drugs can be purchased over the Internet without a prescription; (2) whether the drugs are handled properly, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and authentic; and (3) the extent to which Internet pharmacies are reliable in their business practices. GAO attempted to purchase up to 10 samples of 13 different drugs, each from a different pharmacy Web site, including sites in the United States, Canada, and other foreign countries. GAO assessed the condition of the samples it received and forwarded the samples to their manufacturers to determine whether they were approved by FDA, safe, and authentic. GAO also confirmed the locations of several Internet pharmacies and undertook measures to examine the reliability of their business practices.
GAO obtained most of the prescription drugs it sought from a variety of Internet pharmacy Web sites without providing a prescription. GAO obtained 68 samples of 11 different drugs--each from a different pharmacy Web site in the United States, Canada, or other foreign countries, including Argentina, Costa Rica, Fiji, India, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, Spain, Thailand, and Turkey. Five U.S. and all 18 Canadian pharmacy sites from which GAO received samples required a patient-provided prescription, whereas the remaining 24 U.S. and all 21 foreign pharmacy sites outside of Canada provided a prescription based on their own medical questionnaire or had no prescription requirement. Among the drugs GAO obtained without a prescription were those with special safety restrictions and highly addictive narcotic painkillers. GAO identified several problems associated with the handling, FDA-approval status, and authenticity of the 21 samples received from Internet pharmacies located in foreign countries outside of Canada. Fewer problems were identified among pharmacies in Canada and the United States. None of the foreign pharmacies outside of Canada included dispensing pharmacy labels that provide instructions for use, few included warning information, and 13 displayed other problems associated with the handling of the drugs. For example, 3 samples of a drug that should be shipped in a temperature-controlled environment arrived in envelopes without insulation. Manufacturer testing revealed that most of these drug samples were unapproved for the U.S. market because, for example, the labeling or the facilities in which they were manufactured had not been approved by FDA; however, manufacturers found the chemical composition of all but 4 was comparable to the product GAO ordered. Four samples were determined to be counterfeit products or otherwise not comparable to the product GAO ordered. Similar to the samples received from other foreign pharmacies, manufacturers found most of those from Canada to be unapproved for the U.S. market; however, manufacturers determined that the chemical composition of all drug samples obtained from Canada were comparable to the product GAO ordered. Some Internet pharmacies were not reliable in their business practices. Most instances identified involved pharmacies outside of the United States and Canada. GAO did not receive six orders for which it had paid. In addition, GAO found questionable entities located at the return addresses on the packaging of several samples, such as private residences. Finally, 14 of the 68 pharmacy Web sites from which GAO obtained samples were found to be under investigation by regulatory agencies for reasons including selling counterfeit drugs and providing prescription drugs where no valid doctor-patient relationship exists. Nine of these were U.S. sites, 1 a Canadian site, and 4 were other foreign Internet pharmacy sites.

I created this recipe, it is really good just put on turkey like a gravy, it is also very good on pork ribs and chicken. Thank you for trying it, I am now Susan Matthews and living in North Carolina with my new hubby who loves my cooking!
Reviewed Nov. 10, 2011
I didn't like it when it was first done cooking. I made it in the afternoon so I could just reheat it at dinner time. At first, I could just taste the vinegar. When I reheated it later, it was perfect. There's a good balance of sweet and tangy.

Summerlin South, also seen on maps as South Summerlin, is an affluent census-designated place (CDP) in Clark County, Nevada, United States, on the western edge of the Las Vegas Valley and adjacent to the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. It is so named because it is a southward extension of the master-planned community of Summerlin. Nearly all of Summerlin South is in ZIP code 89135. The population was 24,085 at the 2010 Census.
The Summerlin South Community Association is the main governmental entity of the area – it is a homeowners association for the entire community. It is the only unincorporated area of the Las Vegas Valley that does not have a town advisory board.
Summerlin South is considered to be one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in the Las Vegas Valley. The area includes The Ridges, a highly affluent guard-gated community of luxury mansions in southwest Summerlin.[1]
It is bounded on the north by Charleston Boulevard, Hualapai Way to the east and Red Rock National Conservation Area to the west. Current development expands just below Russell Rd on the south but future developments will expand to Maule Ave.[2]

Homebrew Render Farming at Crunch Time with Imminent 'The Underwater Realm,' Plus New Trailer
You may recall when director David M. Reynolds shared a guest post with NoFilmSchool readers, in the midst of what would become a significantly successful Kickstarter campaign — overfunded $40k beyond its $60k goal — for his project The Underwater Realm. Now, a year later, the film is less than two weeks from premiering for free on YouTube. Needless to say, the all-volunteer-multi-talented-hyphenates of Realm Pictures is working tirelessly to get the project finished. On top of this, they've shared a seemingly endless amount of insight into their process along the way, via weekly video blogs — including a recent look at their self-implemented render farm-style workflow, the sound design, and a bit earlier, a look at their amazing underwater shooting process. Watch these and a new trailer below.
The image above (courtesy Ben Von Wong) displays a couple of the notable things about this production — which will culminate in 5 shorts portraying mankind's encounters with the lost civilization of Atlantis throughout history — mainly its intensive aquatic shooting, and the custom lighting, camera, and communication techniques necessary to pull it off. The previous post here, by director David Reynolds himself, includes details of building a cheap kino flo-like lighting array — the team also devised a fully submersible DIY LED array as well — so be sure to check that out.
Here are some of the more recent video blogs, which will give you a serious idea of why this independent, low-budget, high-quality feature-length undertaking is important to what we do. These first two deal with the crew's workflow during crunch time:
These other two, posted two months and a month ago respectively, illustrates what the production had to go through to achieve the Atlantian thread vital to the concept.
This material is just the tip of the iceberg, a sliver of the goods already available on Realm Pictures' Vimeo page — and this is just behind-the-scenes stuff. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the premiere of The Underwater Realm itself, on the 25th of this month.

Yes, must be a bummer to see little immediate financial return but I can see that this will help them enormously in the long run. If I remember correctly this is supposed to be a multi-part series, so they may charge for future releases once a fan base is built.

production diaries are pretty inspiring
but the trailer feels strange. as if they tried to put everything in it without caring for structure.hope the cut of the film is better!
good luck to them -
Big fan of these guys. Amazing undertaking. Really love this kind of ballsy indie gumption and skill, very inspiring. And really looking forward to the release.
Andreas, maybe as it's five shorts, not a single film, a more comprehensive narrative trailer was thought too problematic? Or even just the workload. Obviously a ridiculous amount of work in there. Possibly a case of not wanting to leave out so many favourite shots, but I doubt it. There are also trailers/promos which are more mood/sizzle kind of deals and I took this as such, which I still found enjoyable. But I do understand what your saying. And could just be me. I loved the trailer for Cloud Atlas, showed it to my son, and he goes… what the hell is that movie supposed to be about? :))
Brian on 12.17.12 @ 11:16AM
Even if the movie sucks, which I'm sure it won't, I'm incredibly impressed with the fact that they have been so faithful with their video blogs – a significant undertaking all on its own.

The educational vision of SUMA is to become the first nationally accredited art museum operated by graduate and undergraduate students in a shared research, learning and applied environment mentored by the faculty, administration and staff of SUU.
SUMA will be designed to serve as a model laboratory for collections and exhibition research, educational programming, public school outreach and empirical evaluation of the visitor experience.
An existing Master of Fine Arts degree in Arts Administration develops well-rounded professional arts administrators. SUMA will provide these students with the day-to-day practical experience managing staff, programs and facilities. These emerging administrators will earn a graduate degree and a verifiable arts management resume.
A new undergraduate minor in museum studies will provide hands-on experience in registration methods, collections care, conduction educational programs, exhibit design and installation. These students will earn a relevant degree and a resume built on solid knowledge-based museum skills.
SUU students will have an opportunity to develop and implement creative and innovative outreach programs that will enhance the arts education experiences of thousands of K-12 student from throughout the region.
To help build public awareness for SUMA, the Community Engagement Committee created the "3-inch Art Show" which featured works of art by students from area schools. Students were given a 3" by 3" square to create their masterpiece. Working closely with teachers, this project was integrated into the classroom curriculum. Each completed piece was fasten to a foam core column and displayed at the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery in May 2011.

Colin Wilson was born in Leicester in 1931, the son of a boot and shoe worker. A brief spell of working in a wool factory stimulated his interest in literature and inspired him to start writing, turning his back on his original plans for a career in science as 'Einstein's successor'. During his career he has written over 80 books, falling mainly into four categories - philosophy, criminology, the paranormal and psychology.
He wrote his first book, The Outsider when he was only 24 years old. It won him overnight success. He continued to write five more books in The Outsider cycle in which he created a 'New Existentialism' with a positive bias that contrasted with the nihilistic existentialism that has proceeded it.
He has always been intrigued by ghosts, mysteries and the supernatural and during the late sixties that he was asked to write a book on 'the occult'. Initially he was something of a sceptic, but his research into the area convinced him of the reality of the paranormal and the many books he has written on the subject have made him an expert in this field. As the presenter of a recent series of television programmes for the Discovery Channel, he has shown viewers some of the Earth's most mysterious places.

England in the Age of Chaucer
Chaucer: Sources and Backgrounds
Listeth, lordes, in good entent,
And I wol telle verrayment Of myrthe and of solas;
Al of a knyght was fair and gent
In bataille and in tourneyment, His name was sire Thopas.
Yborn he was in fer contree
In Flaundres, al biyonde the see, At Poperyng, in the place.
His fader was a man ful free,
And lord he was of that contree, As it was Goddes grace.
It takes a great poet to write poetry as bad as this. In twelve lines Chaucer has already succeeded in making us lose all further interest in the deeds of his hero. No wonder Harry Bailly, the Host of the Tabard Inn, who has accompanied the pilgrims on their way to Canterbury and taken it upon himself to act as master of ceremonies, interrupts him with: "Namoore of this, for Goddes dignitee…. Myn eres aken of thy drasty speche." The question for us is: How are we to take it? Why is it spoken? Is it merely a parody of second-rate romances or is such parody, as in Cervantes, only the symptom of a larger unease? Once we open ourselves to such questions others come pouring in: Who is speaking this? The pilgrim Chaucer? The poet? (But who is the poet?) Where is it spoken? On the road to Canterbury? In our heads? Then? Now?
Chaucer is one of the great unread writers of world literature. It is true that he is the Father of English Literature, but outside of English departments, where the feeling I suppose is that if you are going out with the daughters you've got to be civil to the father, one does not imagine anyone reading him or having any particular incentive to do so. Dryden's remark that "here is God's plenty," though meant as a term of praise, would seem designed to put one off rather than encourage one to sample. Who wants God's plenty nowadays, especially if it's in verse and in a slippery language that at moments looks just like English and then turns suddenly into gibberish? But perhaps he has more to say to us than we often realize, perhaps he is more puzzling, doubting, inquiring, than the traditional image of him suggests. All we need to do is open his poems and see for ourselves. This, in their various ways, is what all the books under review urge us to do. Some, however, are more persuasive than others, and it may be of some theoretical as well as practical interest to see just why this should be so.
The great merit of John Gardner's books is that they clearly set out to convert: "I write about Chaucer," he says, "because I believe profoundly what he says in his poetry about human life, and believe his ideas are more significant right now, in the twentieth century, than they ever were before, even in his own century." His assets are enormous enthusiasm for anything connected with Chaucer …

Genre: Comedy Drama
Directed by: Ridley Scott
Starring: Russell Crowe, Albert Finney, Freddie Highmore, Marion Cotillard, Abbie Cornish
Just exactly why anyone anywhere at anytime thought it would be a good idea to have Ridley Scott make a romantic comedy starring Russell Crowe is one of the great riddles of the universe. Actually, since Scott produced the film, one can only presume that the idea of making A Good Year was his, but that hardly answers why he chose to do it. Perhaps he just wanted to try his hand at something different. The problem is that what he made isn't different. Stylistically, it's pretty much a standard Ridley Scott picture -- with trimmings.
There's a story -- possibly apocryphal -- of sex-and-sin religioso spectacle meister Cecil B. DeMille attempting to make a comedy film in the early sound era. Found on the set of the film, DeMille was having a group of people run away from his camera. When asked why, DeMille admitted he really didn't know, but in every comedy he'd ever seen there was a shot like this, so he was shooting one. True or not, that seems to be the approach taken by Scott with A Good Year -- a reproduction of things he's seen in romantic comedies over the years with no idea why they're there. But, dammit, they're supposed to be there, so he's put them in.
Scott has his hero, Max Skinner (Crowe), and heroine, Fanny Chenal (Marion Cotillard, Big Fish), "meet cute," but in Scott's world this involves Max nearly running her down and causing actual physical damage that leaves Fanny with a nasty bruise on her thigh. (Someone should clue Scott in that real pain is neither charming, nor amusing.) There's a cute dog named Tati (apparently after Jacques Tati, whose films are glimpsed in clips in the film's one really successful scene) who takes a leak on Max's shoe. There's a silly running gag about warding off scorpions with lavender. And there are about a dozen gags involving Max having to deal with driving a Smart car -- including a pointless fast-motion shot of him driving around a roundabout two or three times. (Is the Smart car that intrinsically funny? This is only the fourth movie this year to use one.) Of course, it's all smothered in a healthy layer of pop tunes -- a nice selection ranging from Josephine Baker to Harry Nilsson (who gets the lion's share), few of which are applied with any real feeling for the music.
As bad -- or at least as lame -- as all this is, Scott's so uneasy with the material that he's cut the film together in an awkwardly aggressive manner somewhere in between a TV commercial (the world from whence Scott came) and a music video. This is particularly disruptive in a film that's supposed to be spreading the gospel of slow down, take it easy, enjoy life, etc.
Even if all this were handled better, the material is threadbare and stale. Ultra-nasty stockbroker Max finds that his Uncle Henry (Albert Finney) has died and goes to Provence to sign some papers and quickly turn a profit on the property. Things do not go as planned, thanks to cliched locals, roseate visions of the past, a pointless intrusion by a would-be heiress (Abbie Cornish, Candy) and, of course, falling in love with Fanny Chenal. It's as old as the hills and not made any fresher by the sun-dappled beauty of Provence. It's not much more than Under the Tuscan Sun (2003), but set in France and with Russell Crowe standing in for Diane Lane.
Truth to tell, Crowe isn't awful in the film, but he's too stiff for physical comedy (which in Scott's hands is always too painful-looking) and too lacking in innate charm to bring much flavor to the role. On very rare occasions, Scott and Crowe manage scenes of genuine charm, but these are few and far between in a movie that you've seen done better at least a dozen times before. Rated PG-13 for language and some sexual content.

Antwerp Travel Guide
Antwerp's Astridplein © antwerpenR
Antwerp has shrugged off its reputation as a purely industrial port city and is now known for its energetic nightlife with an active cultural scene. It has a dense concentration of things to see. Among the beautifully preserved Gothic and Baroque architecture are many churches, museums and galleries. The work of the local sculptor, Peter Paul Reubens, surfaces all over the city, most notably at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts. At the centre of the city is the Grote Markt with the baroque Brabo Fountain in the middle. There are countless shopping opportunities and trendy bars and nightclubs around the city for the fashion-conscious and young at heart.
