Las Terrazzas
Studio 401 above the picturesque Old Harbour, Puerto Del Carmen
This immaculate and beautifully decorated, studio apartment, is situated in a residential, location, above the delightful 'Old Town' of Puerto Del Carmen. Located on the second floor of a small, well run complex, it benefits from a private, shaded terrace. A few minutes walk takes you down hill to the charming harbour area and a fantastic choice of restaurants, overlooking the sea. Across from the complex is a small shopping parade with a lovely gift shop, supermarket, butcher, hairdresser, bars, cafes and a well known and reasonably priced Italian restaurant. A beautiful, nearby coastal path takes you along a 30 minute, cliff top walk to the spectacular, yachting marina at Puerto Calero where there is a wide selection of restaurants, designer shops, two cocktail lounges and some fabulous excursions. If you don't fancy walking back after a long, lazy meal from either of these gorgeous venues, there are many, easily available taxis which are very reasonable.
The locals call the area 'millionaires row' as it is very exclusive and expensive. The complex is quiet and relaxing and has everything you need; a telephone, internet access, washing machine and a restaurant with take away meals or if you prefer, delivered to your studio. If you have a late flight there are showers and toilets for you to make the most of your last day by the pool. Mario the complex manager is on duty from 10 am - 1pm and 4pm - 8pm. He is a mine of information, a charming man and is happy to organise taxis, tours and restaurant bookings for you.
Accommodation Review
The apartment is situated at the end of the second storey with terraces above them (no clicking heels!). No one lives below and no-one passes in front. The studio is totally refurbished to a very high standard, you will want for nothing.
The main room has twin beds at the rear, and a comfortably sized lounge /diner. Everything has been thought of to make your stay perfect; relaxing leather sofa, flat screen TV with English channels, DVD player and DVD's, dining table and chairs. A screen separates the kitchen, which is modern and attractive with a full oven, hob, electric kettle, toaster and of course all the necessary cooking/ eating utensils.
The separate modern bathroom with walk in shower, toilet, and vanity unit is spacious and luxurious.
Outside there are tables and chairs for al fresco dining or sunning. Loungers are provided around the pool and the sun is on the studios all day but there is also adequate shade.
All towels and bed linen are of course provided, all you need to bring are personal items.
The studio sleeps 2.

"Small but perfectly formed"
The apartment is small but has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. It is on the end so no-one walks past and has a small terrace outside with table and chairs. We enjoyed our stay there and would go back.

"Fabulous Month in Lanzarote"
401 was the perfect little pied a terre for my month in Lanzarote. Spotlessly clean, well appointed and as cozy as could be. The terrace was sunny and private, the pool refreshing and the bar/restaurant convenient and staffed by wonderful and friendly; Pete, Allan, Jackie and Dave. Mario the manager was as promised; Helpful, polite and professional. The supermarket , Marios restaurant, Crafty Cow pub, Taylors pub and the Highlander a mere 2 minute walk away. The old town a mere 10 minute walk away. Really a superb location.
And thank you Gabby for the lovely welcome by Karim and for the wine, flowers and for the extra efforts put forth to make my stay stellar. You are a gem!

"Smaller but perfectly formed"
We stayed in this apartment for 7 days and I could not fault the apartment. It was very clean and had everything that you would need for your stay. We arrived to find a bottle of wine and 2 glasses ready for us as well as water, milk and beer in the fridge. Great attention to detail.
The complex itself was lovely, quiet and relaxed, everyone was very friendly but not intrusive and the area outside the apartment was ideal for sitting out.
It is very close to the walk to Peurto Calero and I would recommend you do this. It was also a short walk down to the Harbour/Port which had some lovely restaurants and bars.
An ideal base for exploring the Island.
Once booked Gabby kept in touch and responded quickly to any queries we had and could not have been more helpful.It was also great to be picked up at the airport and dropped back on our return by Karim who was very helpful and friendly.
Would definitely recommend and if returning to Lanzarote I wouldn't hesitate to book this apartment again.

"Relaxing,stylish apartment"
Beautiful apartment furnished to a very high standard. I have stayed here on several occasions and I have always found it to be spotlessly clean. There's a great supply of kitchen utensils for cooking. The beds are extremely comfortable and the shower has great water force. Bottled water and milk are always left in the fridge for me on arrival. Plenty of bath and hand towels are provided. All mod cons in situ with a great supply of DVDs for a night in. Its like home from home! This apt is situated on the first floor directly overlooking the pool. It is the last apt so it is very private. The nearest supermarket is only a few mins walk away. There's a restaurant on site and also some others within a short walking distance. Really enjoyed my stays here. I will be back!

A Quality of Play Model of a Professional Sports League
AbstractAssuming that consumers value both the absolute and relative quality of play, I compare the choice of ticket prices, team qualities, and number of games played in a noncooperative outcome versus that chosen by a social planner. I find that the nature of consumer preferences regarding the quality of play determines whether the demand for talented players are strategic complements or substitutes. A strong preference by fans for a superior team makes players strategic substitutes while a concern for a high quality of play and competitive balance make players strategic complements. Moreover, when fans only value the relative quality of play, there is an overemployment of talented players in the noncooperative outcome versus the socially optimal outcome; when they only value the absolute quality of play then there is an underemployment of talented players in the noncooperative outcome.(JEL L1,L2,L4,L83)

While much of the conversation surrounding Friday's genuinely brilliant "Bridesmaids" focuses around its superstar producer, Judd Apatow. And while Apatow had a guiding hand, with the film initially sprung from a development deal the producer struck with co-writer/star Kristen Wiig after her scene-stealing turn in the Apatow-directed "Knocked Up," the man behind the camera is none other than Paul Feig. Feig created "Freaks and Geeks" and has been responsible for a number of memorable television episodes in recent years, helming installments of everything from "Arrested Development" and "Bored to Death" to "30 Rock" and "Mad Men."

Alabama teacher calls gays "an abomination against god"
Teachers, especially k-12 teachers, have to be really careful what they say. They have to be careful not to take sides and give their own opinions when talking politics, religion, or about the LGBT community.
Now it seems head football coach Bob Girsham, of Lauderdale County High School in Rogersville, Alabama, threw caution to the wind when he started mouthing off calling Michelle Obama "fat" and he doesn't "believe" or "like" queers. In. Front. Of. Students. In fact, his little tirade was recorded by a student. Superintendent Jennifer Gray said Girsham is being investigated for his remarks. Girsham, in all of his displayed intelligence, also teaches driver's ed and psychology.
You can hear another male voice in the audio clip call Michelle Obama a "big fat gorilla," and Girsham says nothing about it.
Wednesday, Girsham told the TimesDaily that he misspoke. "I misspoke in a debate-type situation," he said. "I have no hatred toward anyone or any group. People that know my heart, they know that."
Sure Girsham, we believe you.

Hey hyeglenn, have a great Labor Day and week ahead.
Wishing you and all my GasBuddies a safe Labor Day!
You have a great weekend also, what's left of it.
Added you as a Gas Buddy.
Thanks for the Buddy invite. I agree there are still a few good folks still trapped in California. We lived there 1968 to 1978 in Ventura County, near Lake Casitas. Loved the area but the politics, drugs, taxes, fires and floods drove us back to Arizona. Hold on to your conservative values, don't let them beat you down.
Thanks, I like it. Have a great holiday weekend!

SALEM, N.H. — When Sharon Black of Methuen dons her cap and gown this morning, it won't be for the first time.
It also won't be the first time Barbara Kelly of Sandown celebrates her commencement.
The two women, both in their 50s, have done something many people their age wouldn't dare try. That's because they don't have the time, energy or dedication.
They went back to college after being out of school for two or three decades. Now, they are studying for their law degrees.
Black — a Methuen mother of three — and Kelly, a Sandown mother of four raising three grandchildren, graduate today from the American College of History & Legal Studies.
They are among nine graduates receiving their diplomas during a ceremony at the Black Water Grill. State Sen. Chuck Morse, R-Salem, is the guest speaker.
"It's very exciting," Black, 55, said earlier this week. "I can't believe I actually made it."
Black attributes her success to her faith and hard work.
Kelly, 56, is equally enthused.
"I'm just very excited," she said.
At a time when many people their age are beginning to count down the years to retirement, Black and Kelly are determined to prove they can accept the challenge. Nothing is holding them back.
"When you really want to do something, you just do it," said Kelly, a former medical assistant who wants to specialize in family mediation.
Kelly, who received her associate's degree from Fisher College in the 1990s, has been out of the workforce for years after raising her children and now her grandchildren.
She considered resuming her career as a medical assistant, but decided to try law.
Black worked as an administrative assistant for a real estate appraisal firm for 25 years until she was laid off in 2009. She has done other work since, but as the mother of two dyslexic sons, her main focus is their welfare and serving as a special needs advocate.

"The recent announcement that Google will digitize the holdings of several major libraries sent shock waves through the book industry and academe. Google presented this digital repository as a first step toward a long-dreamed-of universal library, but skeptics were quick to raise a number of concerns about the potential for copyright infringement and unanticipated effects on the business of research and publishing." "Jean-Noel Jeanneney, president of France's Bibliotheque nationale, here takes aim at what he sees as a far more troubling aspect of Google's Library Project: its potential to misrepresent - and even damage - the world's cultural heritage. In this work, Jeanneney argues that Google's unsystematic digitization of books from a few partner libraries and its reliance on works written mostly in English constitute acts of selection that can only extend the dominance of American culture abroad."--BOOK JACKET.

The present study was conducted to better describe age trends in cognition among older adults in the longitudinal Health and Retirement Study (HRS) from 1992 to 2004 (N > 17,000). The authors used contemporary latent variable models to organize this information in terms of both cross-sectional and longitudinal inferences about age and cognition. Common factor analysis results yielded evidence for at least 2 common factors, labeled Episodic Memory and Mental Status, largely separable from vocabulary. Latent path models with these common factors were based on demographic characteristics. Multilevel models of factorial invariance over age indicated that at least 2 common factors were needed. Latent curve models of episodic memory were based on age at testing and showed substantial age differences and age changes, including impacts due to retesting as well as several time-invariant and time-varying predictors.

Witness the global explosion of dance music that's unfolding before our eyes – the title says it all. Both the experience and the story are told through honest and first-hand insight of five of the finest and longest-standing DJs in the industry. From David Guetta and Tiesto to Carl Cox, Boys Noize and Fedde le Grand, each star gives their own unique perspective.
Award ceremonies are intended to celebrate the best and brightest talent, yet the shows themselves are often dull, lengthy and awkward. Although this year's Grammy Awards clocked the highest ratings in decades (RIP Whitney), we were again reminded why we don't really pay attention to these things. Especially this one.

Imagine if Tantalus
finally managed
A handful of water
Only to find
After all this time
It wasn't water-
it was brine.
Thirst 07/05/2014
Imagine if Tantalus
I was four years old and I kept taking it out of the bowl to play. 06/13/2014
Goldfish in my fist,
too slippery to resist:
A metaphor and memory
That foreshadowed a future me.
I couldn't let it go, so
I literally loved it to death.
Simulation 05/30/2014
Remember simulated dementia?
Today was similarly insular.
Vaseline-smeared goggles,
Gurgling headsets, spiked inserts.
In an instant the list's forgotten,
lead eyelids, ears stuffed with cotton,
So not ten seconds in, I quit.
Afterward, I read the comment about me
"The whole time, she just followed Joe."
Forest Fire 04/23/2014
Thanks for the burn.
It's not a brand,
It's not who I am.
The letter is a lesson learned.
My silence had a name.
I never spoke it aloud
My self wasn't allowed
To name it- my shame.
Then the time for testimony came.
I was anointed
No fingers were pointed,
It wasn't about blame.
Cut the thicket then set it aflame-
From fertile ashes, I became.
Inspired by this excellent TEDtalk about vulnerability by Brene Brown.
super sloppy sonnet 04/17/2014
"Hello, my name is Juliet."
This intro is inevitably met
With the question "Who's your Romeo?"
Well, if you really want to know,
I'd be sincere, but truth be told
You'd much prefer a lie.
Growing up in Ohio I'd say, "I'm gay,"
But here no one bats an eye.
My friends prefer to call me Jules
Besides, I'm not really gay
I'm pansexual- pan means all, not kitchen tools,
So when they ask about Romeo I just say
You know, I'm not holding my breath.
I don't care about Romeo: just Juliet.
And Not the Good Kind 03/02/2014
We're in a mutual agreement
Not to seek each other out,
But they still appear
From under the crockpot
Like unwanted thoughts
In nooks of neural pathways.
Driven up the Hill by Bertha's tunnel
It's us versus the arthropods,
So don't let artificial selection bungle it
like we did with antibiotics.
An army of insects resistant
Ratchets the creep factor up
Way to drop the ball, humanity.
Shapeshifter 02/21/2014
Sweets for the sweet,
And fat for the fat- but first
You must deprive yourself of that
Which consumes you, presumes you
For decades produced by a sugary tooth
A preponderance of adipose,
An extra-large hourglass,
An outline essentially gendered.
You always played at transformers,
A desire aimed at metamorphosis
Into a mesomorphic flying V,
Flat, but not straight,
A stubborn shapeshifter
That only feels how she wants to
Unless the stress necessitates an undress,
A Sailor Scout transformation:
Height, weight, then gender.

With the growing number of applications in use in today's enterprises, you as a network administrator are surely noticing some new challenges. Many IT professionals responsible for supporting applications in data center and cloud environments continue to see growth in the number of applications being deployed and upgraded, which often goes hand-in-hand with data center consolidation, while IT budgets either remain stagnant or are reduced year-over-year. In other words, the adage remains: do more with less.
The good news is that changes with application delivery, one of the most critical services in the data center, can help enterprises overcome roadblocks to application and business performance and address the application and budget challenges that so many now face. By adopting a virtual application delivery controller environment, or ADC-as-a-Service (ADCaaS), location-independent computing can be cost-effective and help deliver flawless application performance.
Doing More with Less
IT budgets are essentially stationary. Recently, the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG)[1] reported that a majority of the enterprises that they surveyed expected flat to reduced IT budgets year-over-year. As such, obtaining spending approval for modern data center technologies to support an increase in applications can be a challenge, but ESG also found that demonstrating a project's strong ROI is the most effective way to get that approval.
Despite static budgets, enterprise organizations are looking increasingly more like service providers in the transition to modern environments. With requirements for greater flexibility, agility and efficiency, IT delivers services to different business units in multi-tenant environments, leveraging cloud services when necessary. The ESG report indicated that the number of applications that IT organizations support will increase year over year in more than 84 percent of enterprise accounts, and that the average enterprise should also expect to upgrade between 11-25 existing applications over the next year.
Given the fact that a strong ROI is the number one way to get the necessary spend approval for new projects, if application-focused technologies can reduce CAPEX and OPEX costs, deliver a short ROI and maintain the same or better SLAs for application services, IT administrators will be in a better position to meet their applications demands while complying with a flat budget.
The Need for ADC
The Application Delivery Controller (ADC) is one of the key technologies for application delivery infrastructure. ADCs are used to help scale, improve availability, secure and optimize applications.
Virtual ADCs allow customers to dynamically deploy an ADC per application through ADCaaS. With ADCaaS, users can quickly spin the ADC up or down for a scalable, secure and elastic delivery of enterprise, cloud and e-commerce applications. It can also control and optimize end-user services by inspecting, transforming, prioritizing and distributing application traffic across environments, from physical and virtual data centers to public and hybrid clouds.
ADCaaS is beginning to gain momentum as enterprises move to virtual, cloud and software-defined data centers. ESG spoke with enterprise and service provider IT organizations and found that new technologies are required in the ADC space. A software-based, cloud-ready, highly automated ADCaaS approach can enable organizations to demonstrate the necessary ROI while significantly improving business processes.
Moving Toward ADCaaS
For enterprises ready to work toward a modern data center environment in the face of greater demands for applications, agility and flexibility, the following considerations may be helpful.
Provision Faster: The time taken to deploy an application can be heavily impacted by the time required to provision the application delivery infrastructure. ADCaaS can typically reduce the amount of time to provision this infrastructure by an order of magnitude, resulting in the ability to spin up new services in about 30 to 60 seconds compared with those with legacy ADCs that would report times in the two to six hour range.
Rapidly Move from Test and Development to Production: Many legacy ADC users find that the test and development environment does not match the production environment, which means a longer transition time from test and development to production. ADCaaS users typically can easily support test and development with all the capabilities of the production environment and deliver those services more quickly, which can translate to faster time to market.
Accelerate The Time to Value: Purchasing and deploying legacy ADCs can delay ROI by several months. Meanwhile, ADCaaS customers can download the software, type in the license key and be operational in a matter of hours. In addition, ADCaaS can be easier to use than legacy ADCs, which is useful for consolidated data centers that are large but must remain agile. Easy-to-understand interfaces mean that in some cases even less-skilled staff can configure and provision services.
Rapidly Scale the Environment: By leveraging a pay-as-go licensing model and the ability to deploy solutions in the cloud (IaaS), ADCaaS-enabled organizations are able to rapidly scale to meet demand while only paying for what they use. ADCaaS environments eliminate the time-consuming steps required by the physical domain, and eliminate the need to purchase and wait for additional appliances when more capacity is needed. Scaling an environment back down also happens faster with a virtual appliance, which is especially useful in test and development environments with constantly changing requirements.
Burst to the Cloud: As a virtual appliance or software-based solution, ADCaaS instances are easily deployed in IaaS environments, and many cloud providers either offer solutions by the hour/month or have bring your own license (BYOL) options in place. Enterprises can significantly lower CAPEX and OPEX costs by bursting to the cloud as well because a pay-as-you-go model eliminates the need to overprovision physical devices and pay maintenance fees for devices not always in use.
Traditional ADCs cannot inherently scale efficiently and burst to the cloud; it is clear that new, agile, software-based technologies are needed to support the demands of modern data centers. Enterprises that achieve this vision can experience location-independent computing, turn distance and location into a competitive advantage, and provide IT the flexibility to host applications and data in optimal locations while delivering flawless application performance and the best user experience.

Who Should I Start? - Week 1
Martellus Bennett or Vernon Davis
Go to Who Should I Draft
Vernon Davis (SF)vs. Packers
Sun, 12:25pm ET
Martellus Bennett (CHI)vs. Bengals
Sun, 9:00am ET
|Derek Lofland
Fantasy Football Maniax
"He was as volatile as any player in the league last year, but with Crabtree hurt and Boldin being their only proven target in the passing game, I can't see how he disappears from their game plan this year."
"The Bengals were just 18th against fantasy tight ends last year and third against receivers, so I look for Bennett to be a big part of their game plan."
|Raju Byfield
Win My Fantasy League
"Big boost with Crabtree on the mend"
"Bennett gives Cutler three big bodied weapons to throw to"
|Kevin Roberts
Breaking Football
"Pack isn't great against TE so Davis could go off as top-2 receiver for 49ers."
"Bennett could get a nice intro to his new team, but Cincy isn't the best matchup out there."
|Tozzi Brothers
Legion Report
"With the loss of Michael Crabtree in San Fran, for Kaepernick to continue his run of success, he will need to utilize every weapon he has. That means that Davis� numbers of 548 yards, 41 receptions and 5 TDs in 2012 will see a spike. SF has lined up Davis all over the place and besides Anquan Boldin, Davis will be one of the main sources of firepower for this offense. Upside � Yep."
"Bennett wants a nickname - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ-zGtSRUBA#t=24"
|Staff Rankings
Fantasy Football Freaks
"I liked Bennett better in the Giants scheme so we'll have to wait and see what impact he'll have in Chicago. Could be a sleeper pick."
|Staff Rankings
"I could be wrong, I'm just not a fan"
Beast Dome
"Kaepernick treated Vernon Davis like a 2nd String TE when he first became the starter. Vernon never had an outstanding fantasy day as a duo, he close to waiveable. But then the playoffs happened, and Colin finally figuered out Vern is a BEAST. With Delanie Walker gone, Michael Crabtree out for the season, <nobr>Frank Gore</nobr> a step slower. Look for Vern to continue his postseason momentum into 2013."
"The Bears want to throw the ball. Jay Cutler is in a contract year. Brandon Marshall is a big-time WR who should be doubled every play. Martellus had a great bounce back season with the Giants, no doubt he can improve on that as a Bear. Alshon Jefferey is not a huge threat as the #2 WR."

An examination of jury verdicts over the past decade involving people charged for exposing others to toxic substances, has revealed that the more victims are involved in a case, the less harshly the perpetrator of the crime is penalised.
The study, which also included two experiments in the lab, is the first to show that the bias toward feeling empathy for a single individual versus many -- known as the identifiable victim bias -- causes people to make judgments based on emotion that are disproportionate to the severity of a crime.

A team of doctors in Montreal have become the world's first teleanaesthetists, treating a patient undergoing thyroid gland surgery in Pisa, Italy.
The group, led by Dr Thomas Hemmerling at McGill's Department of Anesthesia, collaborated with Dr. Zaouter of the Department of Anesthesia of Pisa University on the project. It saw medical engineers and anaesthesiologists in Pisa hooking the patient up to a series of tubes containing the appropriate drugs, which were then controlled remotely by the team in Montreal.

Earlier in the year, budget airline Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary attracted laughter by revealing that he was thinking about trialling standing area on planes. However, the idea may now be a step closer to reality, as an Italian seat design company called AvioInteriors has built a thinner, perching seat design called the SkyRider.
The concept, which will be unveiled at the Aircraft Interiors Expo Americas conference in California, offers an experience not unlike riding a horse. It's seated, but only just, and allows for a space of just 58cm between seats. Dominique Menoud, director general of Aviointeriors Group, told USA Today: "We feel extremely confident that this concept will have great appeal to airlines for economic purposes." Continue reading
On 13 September, 1985, a leviathan was unleashed on an unsuspecting public. Super Mario Bros. was released for the NES, marking the beginnings of the modern era of gaming and the start of a franchise that arguably now defines the artform more than any other. Ask a non-gamer to name a videogame character, and you can bet that Mario will be one of the first they come up with.
Mario's quite a guy. In between saving the entire world (and more recently, the galaxy) from Bowser every few years and rescuing the princess, he also finds the time to play tennis, golf, baseball, football and basketball, compete as a racing driver, as an Olympic athlete, and a pro dancer, run a doctor's surgery, and hold frequent house parties.

Ever wondered what high dynamic range (HDR) imagery would look like in video? San Francisco based studio Soviet Montage Productions recently took two dSLRs and put that query to the test. And the result is slightly unsettling, with the finished video having a dreamlike and ethereal quality to it. In fact, it looks more like a CGI movie or a video game than any real world city I've ever seen. Continue reading
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology may have made a terrible, terrible mistake: They've taught robots how to deceive.
It probably seemed like a good idea at the time. Military robots capable of deception could trick battlefield foes who aren't expecting their adversaries to be as smart as a real soldier might be, for instance. But when machines rise up against humans and the robot apocalypse arrives, we're all going to be wishing that Ronald Arkin and Alan Wagner had kept their ideas to themselves. Continue reading
In an engineering breakthrough, researchers at UC-Berkley have developed touch and pressure sensitive artificial "skin" for robotic limbs.Dubbed e-skin, the mesh of flexible nanowires has such a high level of sensitivity that it could detect the weight of a bluebottle fly landing on it, and measure tiny changes in pressure: from 0 to 15 kilopascals. That's about the level of force needed to type on a keyboard or hold an object. Continue reading

2009 independent science fiction film starring Sam Rockwell in dual roles.< read all 18 reviews
Duncan Jones' psychological mind trip "Moon" is perhaps one of the most complex and original Science Fiction films to come out since Steven Soderbergh's "Solaris" and Christopher's Nolan's "Inception." Grant it "Moon" complexity is brought forth by the intense performance by Sam Rockwell and the deep rooted complexity and mystery of the story flourishes under the watchful eye of director and co-writer Duncan Jones(the son of David Bowie) in his directorial debut. "Moon" Proves to be one of the most fascinating and daring motion pictures of the last decade. This truly is a film to see.

The Queen's Web Standards guide follows World Wide Web Consortium (WC3) guidelines - put in place by an international community to maintain web and accessibility standards. However, it is intended for people who have some experience and knowledge with website creation and editing. The The Web Standards and Accessibility Development Guide has a detailed checklist of considerations to make when creating an accessible website available here: http://www.queensu.ca/www/wsaguide/summary.html Should you not be an experienced website creator and editor, you can use WebPublish. By using WebPublish, you will be in keeping with Queen's Visual Identoty Policy and Accessibility Plan. This Accessibility Toolkit offers a basic checklist of things to consider when creating an accessible website with WebPublish as well as any other web publication tool. Hyperlinks Avoid language which uses spatial/visual reference (ex. click on the link to the right) Use descriptive hyperlinks - avoid vague text such as "click here" (example, the web link http://queensu.ca should be be written as "Queen's University Homepage") Links to Queen's University web pages should not open in a new window Formatting Keep pages clear and simple Avoid excessive vertical or horizontal scrolling Images Avoid using flashing or animated images Add alternative text to images posted on the website (to accomplish this with WebPublish: when you insert an image, put in the alternative text in the "Description" field of the window) How to Create Good Alternate Text: • Consider the content and function of your image. • If it provides content to your document, make sure that the information the image provides is described in the alt text • If your image only provides a function (for example, providing a portrait of a historical figure described in the text) you need only describe the image. In the case that the image is of a historical figure, write his/her name as the alt text. • Try not to use "Image of..." or "Graphic of..." as alt text. That is usually evident to the person reading the alt text. • Do not repeat the information which is contained in the document itself into the alt text. If it's already in the document, that should be enough. Sounds Avoid using sounds on a webpage, as they may interfere with screen readers Sources: http://wiki.queensu.ca/display/itsd/Accessibility and http://www.queensu.ca/www/wsaguide/index.html

Paul Goldschmidt hit his fifth home run of the season on Thursday night in the Diamondbacks 3-2 victory over the Rockies. The homer gave Goldschmidt 18 RBI and 16 runs scored on the year, and he is now hitting .325 through 22 games. What's more impressive, Goldschmidt was hitting .357 against righties. Not only is Goldschmidt giving his fantasy owners solid production, but his hot start is definitely quieting the Goldschmidt's doubters. With Justin Upton now in Atlanta, Goldschmidt is the Diamondbacks' most feared hitter. The first baseman's power stroke has been on full display this week, as he has three extra-base hits and five RBI in his last three games.
The Washington Nationals won the National League East in 2012 and they are the favorite by many to win the National League Pennant this year and get to the World Series. Its too early for Nats fans to panic, but the Nationals wake up today 10-11 record. In addition, Stephen Strasburg fell to 1-4 after he took his fourth loss on Wednesday. Strasburg allowed three runs in seven innings against the Cardinals. Just like the other Nationals pitchers, Strasburg has to be nearly perfect given the lack of Washington's offense. Strasburg threw 110 pitches over seven innings, giving up no other runs and a total of five hits, along with seven strikeouts.

To the Ladies and the Gentlemen of RR (and to KCK [kidding man]):
I live in Bulgaria (as some of you know) and teach a class of Russian and Balkan kids English. One of their assignments is a presentation on a noun that defines them and makes up a significant part of their identity. Some asked if I could model this presentation for them, and having agreed to do so, I have decided to make my presentation on my identity as a Royals fan. I have my own ideas about what makes one a fan. I know that once upon time on this site, we had a thread about the qualifications of a "real" or "true" fan as opposed to bandwagonners. I will use some of this, but I'd also like to hear a bit from you all about what makes the mind and the soul of a Royals fan. To me, being a fan (especially of late) means patience and hope with the occasional fits of indifference and despair followed by more hope. And as always, this means a helluva lot of wit and sarcasm in the face of often bleak prospects (no pun intended).
Knowing full well many of you have been fans of this franchise for far longer than I have, I put it to you: What is it that (outside of owning some merchandise and attending or watching a game here and there) makes a Royals fan a Royals fan? I come to you all because I know we have some seriously dedicated fans here who are also wicked smart and damned good writers to boot. Help me out here; there might be a citation in it for you.
Thanks in advance for any help.
John Rodrigue, otherwise known as RoyalCreole

Ship sizes: ALL LIES! (big pics)
As a lifelong Trek fan who used to absorb the technical manuals, fact files and diagrams, I knew that some fudging was required to make the ships work out at their supposed sizes. A corridor here (TMP engine room) an ignored hull curve (TMP Rec Deck) or nonexistant bump on the bridge module (Ent-E) there are one thing, but a few minutes in Paint Shop Pro is all it took to show me that many of these diagrams and ship sizes are blatantly inacurrate, going all the way back to the ones in The Making of Star Trek.
Spock is 6' tall. Apologies for the poor quality of some of the pics when scaled up.
The TOS Enterprise is supposed to be 947'/288m long, with 23 decks. At that size, the bridge deck doesn't fit facing forwards (thanks to the turbolift) and the decks have a maximum ceiling height of 8', less than the actual sets.
Franz Joseph Schnaubelt's blueprints rotated the bridge and simply pretended the ship has 8' ceilings and 6' doorframes. Doug Drexler's cutaway (seen in "In a Mirror, Darkly") scales up the Constitution-class to 1420.5'/433m (150%) in order to fit everything in (check out Spock at actual size vs. the "scale" redshirt!)
Matt Jefferies' original cutaway:
Franz Joseph's blueprints:
Doug Drexler's cutaway:
The Excelsior class is supposedly 467 meters long. Take a look at this scaled section of the Enterprise-B's MSD:
6' decks?:rofl: These decks, extrapolated from the window rows in the saucer rim and secondary hull indicate a much larger vessel indeed – either 622m (8' ceilings, the "TOS fudge" size), 700.5m (9' ceilings) or 777.7m (10' ceilings)
Don't even get me started on the miniaturized "120m" Oberth class:eek:.
The Enterprise-D and NX-01 appear to be correctly scaled. The refit 1701 was designed from the ground-up to be 1000', and I presume it works at that size with a minimum of fudging, but I don't have the diagrams at hand to prove either way. The shape of the Enterprise-E on it's MSD is incorrect to begin with (it's based on an an early sketch), and it's saucer decks seem okay but the bridge, conference room and corridors are too small.
The 2009 USS Enterprise CG was designed at 1200 meters (not feet) in length. The 7' bridge window and 40' long shuttlecraft comfortably landed in the bay support this, as does the size comparison chart in the "Art of the Movie" book (yes, I know the Enterprise CG model was resized throughout the movie, that's irrelevant here.). Similarly, the USS Kelvin is 665m long. All the sets fit perfectly with the proper ceiling height at those sizes - yet the blueray states the 2009 Enterprise to be 725m and the Kelvin to be 457m (150% of which is 685m – close to matching Drexler's TOS Enterprise scale, and thus keeping their relative sizes). Why?
(I've lost the damn 2009 Enterprise pics! I'll find and upload them later.)
So, why all the nonsense? Why not just work out the minimum size required for everything to fit (TOS Enterprise + 20 - 50%, Excelsior + 30 - 40% etc) and call it that? Why not just use the ships at the size they were designed? It took me all of five minutes to figure out how broken each of these ship sizes are. It's not rocket science! Why weren't the ship sized corrected in the TNG-era manuals released – particularly since most of the TOS/movie tech concepts (as seen in The Star Fleet Technical Manual and Mr Scott's Guide to the Enterprise) were retconned/rewritten anyway?
As it is, the Star Trek franchise features ships that can only be called "generically and unspecifically huge"
Picture credits to Franz Joseph Schnaubelt, Matt Jefferies, Doug Drexler and Mike Okuda. I suspect you all knew;)
Re: Ship sizes: ALL LIES! (big pics)
The refit 1701 was designed as 305m but the production people built the sets to fit a ship that was at least 355m in length. The cargo bay is too wide, the rec deck too tall, the engine room hallway too long, etc.
The TOS 1701 actually has all the sets that will fit inside a 947' hull (assuming 9' decks for all but one deck in one episode, "Charlie-X") except for the flight deck. That would be where you would scale up the ship in relation to the shuttle.
And this is all before even referring to any tech manuals or blueprints ;)

Re: Ship sizes: ALL LIES! (big pics)
Re: Ship sizes: ALL LIES! (big pics)
I've never had any fit problems (I also only deal with TOS) using Jefferies data...
Click to enlarge
As for people who are not Jefferies applying their ideas to the TOS Enterprise... well, they aren't Jefferies. ;)
Re: Ship sizes: ALL LIES! (big pics)
You cite the Excelsior class. Okay, here's a cross section where the length of 469 meters is shown in 695 pixels, with 4 pixels for deck height. So (469/695)*4 ylelds 2.6954 meters (8.86 feet) deck to deck. That is a bit tight, but not severe. When I do these I usually determine number of decks looking at 3.5 to 4 meters deck to deck, whatever in that range can fit the exterior clues.
Re: Ship sizes: ALL LIES! (big pics)
Re: Ship sizes: ALL LIES! (big pics)
Quoting from Ex Astris Scientia:
Re: Ship sizes: ALL LIES! (big pics)
Perhaps the many errors in GEN were caused by the Nexus, where Paramount relied on images from the Guardian of Forever, not knowing that those images were distorted by the Nexus. Maybe Kirk was returned to the Nexus after Picard buried him or another version of him remained in the Nexus, as in the case of Guinan, who existed both in the Nexus and aboard Picard's Enterprise 80 years after being picked up by Harriman's Enterprise.
Re: Ship sizes: ALL LIES! (big pics)
Re: Ship sizes: ALL LIES! (big pics)
Does anyone know how tall the TOS corridor, transporter room and sickbay sets actually were?
Re: Ship sizes: ALL LIES! (big pics)
Some day I'd love to get one of your designs framed and backlit... when I have room to display that type of thing.
Re: Ship sizes: ALL LIES! (big pics)
Re: Ship sizes: ALL LIES! (big pics)
Anyway, your figure was a quality resource for doing those ships. I was lucky to have it and will certainly use it again for any ships with the same type of saucer section, to make sure I have the deck lines placed correctly and for scaling equipment accordingly.
Re: Ship sizes: ALL LIES! (big pics)
Many of the ships have been listed as being much smaller than they seem to be visually. It would be interesting to see some of them rescaled/rationalized to a size that seems more fitting.

Pub landlord Al Murray visits Winsford
Updated 1:05pm Thursday 15th May 2014 in News
AL Murray joined the The Old Star Inn party last night to host a quiz for the Winsford pub who are about to embrak on a World Cup trip to Rio.
The pub landlord headed the samba-themed quiz to a full house and got a great reception, only bettered by the applause for The Old Star Inn landlord Ernie.
Ernie will be heading to Brazil next month as part of McCoy's search for a 'Pub to Put on a Plane to Rio' competition.
Al was in fine form, having photos with locals and delivering the quiz in his proper pub landlord-style, donned in an outfit to match Ernie.
The Guardian's Gina Bebbington took the chance to speak to Al before the quiz kicked off, see what he had to say about Winsford, Ernie and how non-interested women can enjoy the World Cup.
