|The Design Print Collective
Graphic design, Creative Artwork and Printing business. Offering bespoke graphic design, pre-press artwork and high quality printing products.
Production of large format exhibition and display posters, including roll-up display systems provision and production. Short run branded goods (t-shirts, mugs, keyrings etc etc) also produced in-house. Larger run branded goods catered for also through carefully selected supply partners.
Essentially a business-to-business specialist provider. We provide a practical, whole-service approach to marketing and publicity for our customers, including an extensive exhibition, branded goods and marketing collateral support.
We have introduced a Creative Trade offer... as the 'Design and Print Collective' we are also proud to offer our 'PRODUCTION' service to other Creative professionals at trade prices.
Our Customer/Client base spans SME, Local, National, and International organisations and companies. These include small, medium, and large businesses, as well as Public Sector, Local Government (Councils) and multinational organisations.
We have specialist experience in the creation and supply of Scientific, Technical and Industrial 'marketing and publicity' material in the business-to-business arena, producing brochures, catalogues, manuals and technical marketing literature. Additional prominence in Education, Research and Charity arenas has seen project work including School and College brochures and prospectuses, Annual Trustee and Government Reports. Specialist start-up business initiatives.
I am very much a family man and have been married to Kathryn (my first wife) for over 34 years. I have 3 very beautiful daughters (they get that from Kathryn!). I love each and everyone of them dearly and owe all my drive and application to each of them.
After over 35 years in the design, artwork and printing arena I have a passion for helping start-up businesses get off on the right foot with their corporate branding and promotional material. I love to meet new people and networking really suits me. In my spare time (if I'm not working). I love history, antiques, photography, painting (watercolours) and getting out into the country. A generally active and busy person at work, I do enjoy solitude at times, and often get away for the odd weekend on my own to just chill out! I love dreaming up domain names and buying them to develop later! I enjoy most types of music, especially (traditional) live Jazz. I have in the past gone to the extent of renting rooms, hiring musicians and 'putting on a gig' for anyone willing to buy tickets!
I genuinely like to help people where I can, passing on any benefit of my experience to anyone that can make use of it (or that will listen!). After nearly 15 years in Networking I have a vast contact base to the extent I have often been referred to as 'Mr Introducer' for my ability to link up people and businesses for mutual gain.
Also known as being 'The Design and Print Man', I have embarked on a new phase in my career and am looking forward to the challenges it will bring. 2015 will see the opening of my very own Conference Suites & Event Centre adjacent to my Design Studio in Tameside (Hyde).

OHSU or Linfield - page 3
Hello all. This is my first post so please bear with me. Over the last two years doing prereqs, my ultimate goal was always OHSU. I only applied to other schools so I would have a back-up if necessary. Well I got into both... Read More
- 0Jun 13, '09 by ashcovert77Oh I forgot, Im applying for OHSU, U of P, and PCC this coming year, and am freaking out about not getting accepted anywhere, so I had a few questions for you:
Where did you take your prerequisites?
You dont have to share, but what was your GPA?
Do you have any prior certificates or work experience?
Do you have any advice to give on getting into OHSU?
- 0Jun 16, '09 by lilikoiHi Ash,
Thanks on the congrats. I did feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to choose between three such excellent programs. I did decide on Linfield and just completed my first term and I am extremely happy with my choice. I love the school and their program and I look forward to completing my degree in 2011. I do know I would have been just as happy at OHSU or UofP.
To answer your questions, I did all of my prereqs at PCC Sylvania. I did not have any prior health care experience but I did have a 4.0 GPA.
My advice to you is to look at anything that you can improve over the next year and try again. If any of your science prereqs have lower grades, you may consider retaking them as I am pretty sure that is what's most important to all the schools as far as GPA goes. Also, if you do not have any prior health care experience, you may want to consider volunteering at a hospital or other health care related organization. I do not have specific advice on getting into OHSU other than making sure you know why you want to go to nursing school, what you plan to do with nursing, and what strengths you have that will positively contribute to your program and nursing itself. Having those goals and values clearly defined in your head will help you tremendously when writing the proctored essay.
I hope I have been of some help. Keep at it, I know it is not easy but perseverance is key to not only getting into a program, but surviving one. Best of luck to you

School News
The Adler School of Professional Psychology has been awarded the Military Friendly School® designation from G.I. Jobs, a leading magazine for military personnel transitioning into civilian life. The magazine's 2013 Military Friendly Schools list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the United States that are doing the most to embrace America's military service members, veterans, and spouses as students, and ensure their success on campus.
The 2013 list of Military Friendly Schools® was compiled through extensive research and a data-driven survey of more than 12,000 schools nationwide. Survey results were independently tested by Ernst & Young LLP based on weightings and methodology established by G.I. Jobs with assistance from an academic advisory board of educators from schools across the country.
Click here to meet Adler School student Alisha Bowen, featured on the 2013 Military Friendly Schools website.
The Adler School maintains a long record of active involvement with and for its students who are active military personnel, veterans and civilians who support the military.
- The Adler School has offered coursework focused on military psychology for years, and since 2011 offers a Military Clinical Psychology track within its Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) program—the first of its kind outside the U.S. government's military medical school.
- Adler School students are highly active in the School's student organization established in 2009 for military psychology, advised by faculty member Joseph E. Troiani, Ph.D., C.A.D.C., a recently retired Navy commander.
- Faculty members are highly involved. By invitation of the U.S. Army Medical Command, Adler School faculty members have participated in the All Corps Educator Tour of Fort Sam Houston, Texas. By invitation of the U.S. Navy Clinical Psychology Program, faculty also have taken part in the Educators Medical VIP Visit to the Naval Medical Center San Diego.
- Faculty and students actively organize ongoing campus and external programs and initiatives, and serves as spokespersons, calling attention to the need for psychological health, services, and well-being of military populations and their families. For example, faculty and U.S. military veterans from the Adler School have led panel discussions on women and the impact of military combat following presentations of "A Dramatic Reading of Scenes from Sophocles' AJAX—The Female Warrior Program," presented by Chicago's Goodman Theatre and Rivendell Theatre Ensemble in association with Theater of War.
- The Adler School also is an active participant in the Yellow Ribbon G.I. Education Enhancement Program, a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008.
The Adler School of Professional Psychology has provided quality education through a scholar/practitioner model for 60 years. The School's mission is to train socially responsible graduates who continue the visionary work of Alfred Adler throughout the world. The Adler School offers graduate-level programs enrolling more than 1,000 students at its campuses in Chicago and Vancouver, British Columbia, and through Adler Online.

American Uncial™ font family
Designed by Victor Hammer in 1953
American Uncial is a unicase design. The upper and lowercase letters have the same design, and are the same size.
Victor Hammer released his first Uncial-style typeface with the Klingspor Foundry in Germany in 1923. This was called Hammerschrift." During the 1930s, he moved to the United States, where American Uncial would be released, through the Dearborn Type Foundry. In 1953, the Victor Hammer released another version of American Uncial with his old distributor, the Klingspor Foundry. They renamed the type Neue Hammer Unziale. Neue Hammer Unziale is not unicase; it has Roman uppercase letters as well as lowercase Uncials. Linotype also has this typeface available; its
The Uncial letterform was used across Europe during the time of the late Roman Empire, and thereafter as well. Its forms would inspire the Carolingian Miniscule (c. 800 A.D.), and our present lowercase. American Uncial is one of the most popular Uncial fonts in the world. It is often seen in Ireland and elsewhere for things that should look "Irish" or "Celtic." It is also a favorite for use on certificates and diplomas. The font is best used in headlines and shorter texts with a point size of 12 or larger."

Babington Plot
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2013)
The Babington Plot was a plot in 1586 to assassinate Queen Elizabeth, a Protestant, and put the rescued Mary, Queen of Scots, her Roman Catholic cousin, on the English throne. It led to the execution of Queen Mary Stuart of Scotland as a direct result of a letter sent by Queen Mary (who had been imprisoned for 18 years since 1568 in England at the behest of Queen Elizabeth) in which Queen Mary consented directly to the assassination of Elizabeth.[1]
The long-term goal of the plot was the invasion of England by the Spanish forces of King Philip II and the Catholic League in France, leading to the restoration of the old religion. The plot was discovered by Walsingham and used to entrap Queen Mary for the purpose of removing her as a claimant to the Englilsh throne.
The chief conspirators were Sir Anthony Babington, a young recusant nobleman targeted by Ballard; John Ballard, a Jesuit priest who desired to rescue the Scottish Queen; Robert Poley; Gilbert Gifford, and Thomas Phelippes, a Walsingham spy agent and code decypherer. The fallen priest Gifford had been in Walsingham's service since the end of 1585 or 1586. Gifford obtained a letter of introduction to Queen Mary from Morgan. Walsingham then placed double agent Gifford and spy decipherer Phelippes inside of Chartley Hall where Queen Mary was imprisoned. Gifford organised the Walsingham plan to place Babington's and Queen Mary's coded communications into a beer barrel cork which were then intercepted by Phelippes, decoded and sent to Walsingham.
Ballard was attempting to recruit Babington in an undeveloped scheme to rescue Queen Mary and place her on the throne of England by killing Queen Elizabeth. Babington sent a coded letter to the imprisoned Queen Mary which gave his name to the complicated multiple-sided plot.
On 7 July 1586, the only Babington letter that was sent to Queen Mary was decoded by spy Phelippes. Queen Mary responded in code on 17 July ordering the would-be rescuers to assassinate Queen Elizabeth if that was necessary for her rescue. The response letter also included decyphered phrases indicating her desire to be rescued: "The affairs being thus prepared" and "I may suddenly be transported out of this place". At the Fotheringay trial in October 1586, Queen Elizabeth's agents William Cecil and Walsingham used the letter against Queen Mary who refused to admit that she was guilty but she was betrayed by her secretaries Nau and Curle who confessed under pressure that the letter was mainly truthful, a fact not denied by Antonia Fraser the most important modern biographer of Mary; Fraser is in general a big defender of Mary Stuart but not in this case.[2] To understand Mary's decision to accept the murder of Elizabeth, a few facts should be taken into account; First there was a conflict of 20 years between the two women, that conflict was both political, religious and personal. It was not the first time that Mary conspired against Elizabeth who in return treated Mary in a very harsh way. Second, Mary was the queen of France and Scotland, had a court of more than 1000 servants, was considered the most beautiful woman in Europe and was the darling of the Renaissance Period, all of which she lost because of her English captivity. In 1586, Mary was a prisoner for 20 years who lost her freedom, her son, her kingdom and her social life. She was a sick invalid very large overweight woman with a double chin who was unable to move without help,[3] she was cut from any contact with her son who betrayed her, her social life was mainly confined to her bed and room where she spent almost all her time because of her health problems under heavy guard with no outside contact; finally if she was taken to another prison, it was in a closed litter under heavy guard to cut her from any interaction with the people of England. To understand Mary's frame of mind, we must consider as Antonia Fraser put it that this woman who lost everything saw a chance not only to escape this intolerant captivity who could have gone for another 20 years but also achieved her ideal for a Catholic Restoration in England which was the main aim in Mary's life, at least in her captive years.[4]
Mary's imprisonment[edit]
Mary, Queen of Scots, a Roman Catholic, was a legitimate heir to the throne of England. In 1568 she escaped imprisonment by Scottish rebels and sought the promised aid of her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I, a year after her forced abdication from the throne of Scotland. The issuance of the papal bull Regnans in Excelsis by Pope Pius V on 25 February 1570, granted English Catholics authority to overthrow the English queen. Queen Mary became the focal point of numerous plots and intrigues to restore England to its former religion, to depose Elizabeth and even to take her life. Rather than the promised aid, Queen Elizabeth imprisoned Queen Mary for nineteen years in the charge of a succession of jailers, principally the Earl of Shrewsbury. In April 1585, she was transferred to the control of Sir Amias Paulet. In February 1587, Queen Elizabeth executed her rival to the English throne, her cousin, Queen Mary Stuart of Scotland and France.
In 1584 Elizabeth's Privy Council signed a "Bond of Association" designed by Cecil and Walsingham which stated that anyone within the line of succession to the throne on whose behalf anyone plotted against the Queen, even if the claimant were ignorant of the plot, would be excluded from the line and executed. This was agreed upon by hundreds of Englishmen, who likewise signed the Bond. Queen Mary also agreed to sign the Bond. The following year, Parliament passed the Act of Association, which provided for the execution of anyone who would benefit from the death of the Queen if a plot against her was discovered. However due to the Bond, Queen Mary could be executed if a plot was initiated by others that could lead to her accession to England's throne.
After the Bond was signed, Queen Elizabeth ordered Queen Mary transferred back to the ruined Tutbury Castle in the wintry weather of Christmas Eve 1584. Queen Mary became ill due to the bad conditions of her captivity, imprisoned in a very damp cold room with closed windows and with no access to the sun.
In 1585, Queen Elizabeth ordered Queen Mary to be transferred in a coach and under heavy guard and placed under the strictest confinement at Chartley Hall in Staffordshire, under the control of Sir Amias Paulet. She was prohibited any correspondence with the outside world. Puritan Paulet was chosen by Queen Elizabeth in part because he abhorred Queen Mary's Catholic faith.
Queen Elizabeth had designed a death warrant for her cousin Queen Mary a decade before the Babington plot was conceived. However, she was reluctant to sign the warrant that would directly link her to the act, though later she did give orders to Paulet to execute the Scottish Queen after the trial which proved her connection with the Babington Plot. Paulet refused to comply. Sir Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth I's Secretary of State and spymaster, together with William Cecil, Elizabeth's chief advisor, realised that if Mary could be implicated in a plot to assassinate Elizabeth, she could be executed and the "Papist" threat diminished. As he wrote to the Earl of Leicester: "So long as that devilish woman lives, neither Her Majesty must make account to continue in quiet possession of her crown, nor her faithful servants assure themselves of safety of their lives."[5]
Walsingham used the Babington plot to ensnare Queen Mary by sending Gifford to Paris to obtain the confidence of Morgan, then locked in the Bastille. Morgan previously worked for George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, an earlier jailor of Queen Mary. Through Shrewsbury, Queen Mary became acquainted with Morgan. Queen Mary sent Morgan to Paris to deliver letters to the French court. While in Paris Morgan became involved in a previous plot designed by William Parry, which resulted in Morgan's incarceration in the Bastille. In 1585 Gifford was arrested returning to England through Rye in Sussex with letters of introduction from Morgan to Queen Mary. Walsingham released Gifford to work as a double agent, in the Babington Plot. Gifford was assigned the alias "No. 4" and used many others in his espionage work, such as Colerdin, Pietro and Cornelys. Walsingham assigned Gifford to function as a courier in the entrapment plot against Queen Mary.
The plot[edit]
The Babington plot was related to several separate plans:
- solicitation of a Spanish invasion of England with the purpose of deposing Protestant Queen Elizabeth and replacing her with Catholic Queen Mary;
- a plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth;
In March 1586 at the Plough Inn, priest Ballard encouraged Babington to join his rescue plot. Ballard travelled to Paris and met with Spanish ambassador Bernardino de Mendoza who seemed interested in, but not committed to the plot. Ballard returned to England in May and gave his plot supportors the false information that Spain was committed to the plan. John Savage was recruited by Ballard and the only plotter who agreed to be an assassin. Poley befriended Babington and encourage him to write Queen Mary about the rescue and assassination plans.
Babington wrote Queen Mary on 7 July 1586. The letter was intercepted by Phelippes then sent to Queen Mary who has already seen Phelippes in one of her very rare recreation hours when she was taken in her coach due to her inability to walk under heavy guard. Queen Mary briefly wrote back on 13 July stating she would later provide a longer response. On 17 July Queen Mary wrote a long letter to Babington advising him of requirements for a successful rescue, stating that he must secure Mendoza's concurrence, ordered him to kill Queen Elizabeth, and agreed to be rescued. Spy Phelippes decoded the letter, drew a gallows sign on it and forwarded it to Walsingham. Walsingham ordered Phelippes to add a forgery to Queen Mary's letter, which he did.
Twelve days after the interception of Queen Mary's response letter it was forwarded to Babington on 29 July. The following day Babington received another invitation from Walsingham to meet. 4 August Ballard was arrested.Babington was captured, tortured, then interviewed again by Walsingham who wrote a confession for him to sign. Both Babington and Ballard were executed in September 1586.
Walsingham and Cecil realised that the July 1584 decree by Queen Elizabeth after the Throckmorton plot that prevented all communication to and from Queen Mary, also impaired their ability to entrap her in another plot. They needed evidence of another plot for which she could be executed based on their Bond of Association tenets. Thus Walsingham established a new line of communication, one which he could carefully control without incurring any suspicion from Queen Mary. Gifford approached Guillaume de l'Aubespine, Baron de Châteauneuf-sur-Cher, the French ambassador to England and described the new correspondence arrangement that had been designed by Walsingham. Gifford and jailor Paulet had arranged for a local brewer to facilitate the movement of messages between Queen Mary and her supporters by placing them in a watertight casing that could be placed inside the stopper of the barrel. Phelippes was then quartered at Chartley Hall to receive the messages, decode them and send them to Walsingham. Gifford submitted a code table that had been supplied by Walsingham to Chateauneuf and then requested the first message be sent to Queen Mary.
All subsequent messages to Queen Mary would be sent via diplomatic packets to Chateauneuf, who then passed them on to Gifford. Gifford would pass them on to Walsingham, who would confide them to Thomas Phelippes, a cipher and language expert in his employ. Phelippes was previously employed by Amias Paulet when the latter was Elizabeth's ambassador to France. The cipher used was a nomenclator cipher. Phelippes would decode and make a copy of the letter. The letter was then resealed and given back to Gifford, who would pass it on to the brewer. The brewer would then "smuggle" the letter to Queen Mary. If Queen Mary sent a letter to her supporters, it would go through the reverse process. In short order, every message coming to and from Chartley Hall was intercepted and read by Walsingham, who became aware of every plot.
Firmer plans and a developing plot: John Ballard and Anthony Babington[edit]
At the behest of Mary's French supporters, John Ballard, a Jesuit priest and agent of the Roman Church, went to England on various occasions in 1585 to secure promises of aid from the northern Catholic gentry of the imprisoned Queen who would accept an insurrection against Elizabeth and replace her with Mary. In March 1586, he met with John Savage, an ex-soldier who was involved in a separate plot against Elizabeth and who had sworn an oath to assassinate the queen.[6] Later that same year, he reported to Charles Paget and Don Bernardino de Mendoza and told them that English Catholics were prepared to mount an insurrection against Elizabeth, provided that they would be assured of foreign support. While it was uncertain whether Ballard's report of the extent of Catholic opposition was accurate, what was certain that he was able to secure assurances that support would be forthcoming. After this he returned to England, where he persuaded a member of the Catholic gentry, Anthony Babington to lead and organise the English Catholics against Elizabeth. Ballard informed Babington about all the plans that had been so far proposed. But Babington's confession made it clear that Ballard was sure of the support of the Catholic League:
- "He toulde me he was retorned from Fraunce uppon this occasion. Being with Mendoza at Paris, he was informed that in regarde of the iniuries don by our state unto the greatest Christian princes, by the nourishinge of sedition and divisions in their provinces, by withholding violently the lawful possessions of some, by invasion of the Indies and by piracy, robbing the treasure and the wealthe of others, and sondry intolerable wronges for so great and mighty princes to indure, it was resolved by the Catholique league to seeke redresse and satisfaction, which they had vowed to performe this sommer without farther delay, havinge in readiness suche forces and all warlike preparations as the like was never scene in these partes of Christendome. ... The Pope was chief disposer, the most Christian king and the king Catholic with all other princes of the league concurred as instruments for the righting of these wronges, and reformation of religion. The conductors of this enterprise for the French nation, the D. of Guise, or his brother the D. de Main; for the Italian and Hispanishe forces, the P. of Parma; the whole number about 60,000.[7]
Despite this assurance of foreign support, Babington was hesitant as he thought that no foreign invasion would succeed for as long as Elizabeth remained, to which Ballard answered that the plans of John Savage would take care of that. After a lengthy discussion with friends and soon to be fellow conspirators, Babington consented to join and to lead the conspiracy.[8]
Unfortunately for the conspirators, Walsingham was certainly aware of some of the aspects of the plot, based on reports by his spies, most notably Gilbert Gifford, who kept tabs on all the major participants. While he could have shut down some part of the plot and arrested some of those involved within reach, he still lacked any piece of evidence that would prove Queen Mary's active participation in the plot and he feared to commit any mistake which might cost Elizabeth her life.
The fatal correspondence[edit]
Despite his assent in his participation in the plot, Babington's conscience was troubled at the prospect of assassinating the English queen. On 28 June 1586, encouraged by a letter received from Thomas Morgan, Queen Mary wrote a letter to Babington that assured him of his status as a trusted friend. In a reply in 7 July 1586, Babington wrote to Mary about all the details of the plot. He informed Mary about the foreign plans for invasion as well as the planned insurrection by English Catholics:
- "First, assuring of invasion: Sufficient strength in the invader: Ports to arrive at appointed, with a strong party at every place to join with them and warrant their landing. The deliverance of your Majesty. The dispatch of the usurping Competitor. For the effectuating of all which it may please your Excellency to rely upon my service.... Now forasmuch as delay is extreme dangerous, it may please your most excellent Majesty by your wisdom to direct us, and by your princely authority to enable such as may advance the affair; foreseeing that, where is not any of the nobility at liberty assured to your Majesty in this desperate service (except unknown to us) and seeing it is very necessary that some there be to become heads to lead the multitude, ever disposed by nature in this land to follow nobility, considering withal it doth not only make the commons and gentry to follow without contradiction or contention (which is ever found in equality) but also doth add great courage to the leaders. For which necessary regard I recommend some unto your Majesty as fittest in my knowledge for to be your Lieutenants in the West parts, in the North parts, South Wales, North Wales and the Counties of Lancaster, Derby and Stafford: all which countries, by parties already made and fidelities taken in your Majesty's name, I hold as most assured and of most undoubted fidelity.[9]
He also mentioned plans on rescuing Mary from Chartley as well as dispatching Savage to assassinate Elizabeth:
- "Myself with ten gentlemen and a hundred of our followers will undertake the delivery of your royal person from the hands of your enemies. For the dispatch of the usurper, from the obedience of whom we are by the excommunication of her made free, there be six noble gentlemen, all my private friends, who for the zeal they bear to the Catholic cause and your Majesty's service will undertake that tragical execution.[10]
The letter was received by Mary, who was in a dark mood at that period of time because she received the news that her son betrayed her in favour of Elizabeth, on 14 July 1586 — after being intercepted and deciphered — and on 17 July she replied to Babington in a long letter in which she outlined the components of a successful rescue and the need to assassinate Elizabeth if her rescue had any chance to be successful. She also stressed the necessity of foreign aid if the rescue attempt was to succeed:
- "For I have long ago shown unto the foreign Catholic princes, what they have done against the King of Spain, and in the time the Catholics here remaining, exposed to all persecutions and cruelty, do daily diminish in number, forces, means and power. So as, if remedy be not thereunto speedily provided, I fear not a little but they shall become altogether unable for ever to rise again and to receive any aid at all, whensoever it were offered. Then for mine own part, I pray you to assure our principal friends that, albeit I had not in this cause any particular interest in this case... I shall be always ready and most willing to employ therein my life and all that I have, or may ever look for, in this world."[11]
Queen Mary in her response letter, advised the would-be rescuers to confront the puritans and to link her case to the Queen of England as her heir.
- "These precepts may serve to found and establish among all associations, or considerations general, as done only for your preservation and defence, as well in religions as lands, lives and goods, against the oppressions and contempts of said Puritans, without directly writing, or giving out anything against the Queen, but rather showing yourselves willing to maintain her, and her lawful heirs after her, unnaming me." Mary was clear in her support for the murder of Elizabeth if that would have led to her liberty and Catholic domination of England. In addition Queen Mary supported in that letter and in another one to Mendoza the Spanish ambassador in Paris a Spanish invasion of England.
The letter was again intercepted and deciphered by Phelippes. But this time, Phelippes, who was also an excellent forger, kept the original and made a copy of the letter in which Mary supported the murder of Elizabeth. In the letter Mary not only consented to the assassination but also made clear; because of her hate of Elizabeth,her ambition and her desire to be free from her intolerable captivity which was a living hell for her, a sincere offer to take an active part in the assassination but Phelippes who have seen Mary many times describing her in his letters as a very sad, angry and desperate woman who was very big almost obese and very tall[she was almost 6 feet tall without heels,20 to 30 cm taller than the average man living in the 16th century];with a double chin giving her a massive presence which combined with her legend as a martyred queen and the remains of her beauty explain Elizabeth jealousy, fears and her determination not to allow Mary any social or political interaction with any person. Mary was taken by her guards in a coach,a litter or in a big chair because of her invalidity and inability to walk alone and who in addition was not allowed by her guards to approach him or anybody else when she saw him sometimes when she was outside her room where she usually spent almost all her time in bed due to her invalidity with no social contact in a cold damp room with barred windows which even kept the sun from reaching her; finally the privies stench system was directly operated below her room leading to the destruction of her health which explain her decision to be rescued even if it meant the killing of Elizabeth ;[12] added a forged part focusing on the name of the conspirators:
- "I would be glad to know the names and quelityes of the sixe gentlemen which are to accomplish the dessignement, for that it may be, I shall be able uppon knowledge of the parties to give you some further advise necessarye to be followed therein; and even so do I wish to be made acquainted with the names of all such principal persons [&c.] as also from time to time particularlye how you proceede and as son as you may for the same purpose who bee alredye and how farr every one privye hereunto.[13][14]
Phelippes then made another copy of the letter and sent it to Walsingham with a small picture of the gallows as a seal.
Arrests, trials and executions[edit]
John Ballard was arrested on 4 August 1586, and under torture he confessed and implicated Babington. Although Babington was able to receive the letter with the postscript, he was not able to reply with the names of the conspirators, as he was arrested. Others were taken prisoner by 15 August 1586. Mary's two secretaries, Claude Nau de la Boisseliere (died 1605) and Gilbert Curle (died 1609), were likewise taken into custody and interrogated.
The conspirators were sentenced to death for treason and conspiracy against the crown, and were sentenced to be hanged, drawn, and quartered. This first group included Babington, Ballard, Chidiock Tichborne, Sir Thomas Salusbury, Robert Barnewell, John Savage and Henry Donn. A further group of seven men, Edward Havington, Charles Tilney, Edward Jones, John Charnock, John Travers, Jerome Bellamy, and Robert Gage, were tried and convicted shortly afterward. Ballard and Babington were executed on 20 September 1586 along with the other men who had been tried with them. Such was the public outcry at the horror of their execution that Queen Elizabeth changed the order for the second group to be allowed to hang until dead before being disembowelled.
In October 1586 Queen Mary of Scotland was sent to trial at Fotheringhay Castle in Northamptonshire by 46 English Lords, Bishops and Earls. She was not permitted legal counsel, not permitted to review the evidence against her and not permitted to provide witnesses. Portions of spy Phellipes' letter translations were read at the trial. As the Scottish Queen, Mary was convicted of treason against the foreign country of England. One English Lord voted not guilty. Elizabeth signed her cousin's death warrant,[15] and on 8 February 1587, in front of 300 witnesses, Mary, Queen of Scots, was executed by beheading with an axe in a very painful manner since it took three strikes to cut her head;her hands behind her back like a traitor who sponsored the Babington Plot.[16]
In literature[edit]
Mary Stuart (German: Maria Stuart), a dramatised version of the last days of Mary, Queen of Scots, including the Babington Plot, was written by Friedrich Schiller and performed in Weimar, Germany in 1800. This in turn formed the basis for Maria Stuarda, an opera by Donizetti, in 1835: although the Babington Plot occurs before the events of the opera, and is only referenced twice during the opera, the second such occasion being Mary admitting her own part in it, in private, to her final confessor (a role taken by Lord Talbot in the opera, although not in real life.)
The story of the Babington Plot is dramatised in the novel Conies in the Hay by Jane Lane. (ISBN 0-7551-0835-3), and features prominently in Anthony Burgess's A Dead Man in Deptford. Episode Four of the television series Elizabeth R (titled "Horrible Conspiracies") is devoted to the Babington Plot, and the movie Elizabeth: The Golden Age deals substantially with the Plot as well. A more fictional account is given in the My Story book series, The Queen's Spies (retitled To Kill A Queen 2008) told in diary format by a fictional Elizabethan girl, Kitty.
The Babington plot is also the subject of the children's novel A Traveller in Time by Alison Uttley, who grew up near the Babington family home in Derbyshire.

About Greek Restaurants
The Greeks have been around for a long time and you can definitely taste that history in their food. Greek or Mediterranean style cooking has become very popular in the United States. As Americans attempt to eat healthy, they have stumbled upon a wonderful cuisine that is both rich in tradition and flavor. There are many local Greek restaurants that I am sure you have passed and never thought to check out. Do not put off sampling this wonderful cuisine any longer. Greek food can be both heavy and light. The portions are usually large, but the food is not greasy like typical American food. All of their dishes are seasoned with spices that come from all over the world. Typical Greek dishes include gyros and beef kabobs. Humus is a typical Greek treat. Humus is usually served as a side dish or appetizer a long side a main dish. Humus is made by grinding Garbanzo beans into a type of paste. Olive oil is mixed in and sometimes garlic. Humus is a tasty treat that is usually eaten with bread or used in a sandwich. Olive oil is very important to Greeks as well. They use olive oil in everything. Olive oil is used in their cooking but it also eaten plain with bread. Some Greek restaurants will offer a special olive oil that has been infused with different herbs and spices. You can dip your bread into this olive oil and it is quite tasty. Lamb is popular in Greek cooking as well. You can easily find ground lamb kabobs at your local Greek restaurant. If you are a vegetarian, Greek restaurants can be a great choice. Greek salads are amazing. They are made with different types of lettuce, red onions, Greek olives, Feta cheese, and are usually dressed with a special Greek dressing that is tangy and light. Vegetarians can also enjoy what the Greeks call Falafel. Falafels are made by mixing spiced chickpeas and Fava beans, forming the mixture into a ball and then frying it. Falafels can be enjoyed alone or in a sandwich known as a Gyro. A Gyro can be made of meat, chicken or Falafel. They take the meat or Falafel and put it into a pita with tomatoes, lettuce and humus. It is a very delicious and filling sandwich that can be enjoyed on the go.

This is the game that is kept me occupied during the Chinese New Year holidays. And it is great. I can't get enough of it. I am a big fan of the strategy series Heroes of Might and Magic, having played all the different sequels of the game. Plus, I always enjoy Roll Playing Games. Well, if you have no idea what Heroes is all about, let me enlighten you. It is a turn based game which requires you to build up your army and go around and beat other players and enemies up. Yes, you create heroes and recruit soldiers (or monsters) and you go around collecting magical items, resources, gold and what-not, then you purchase a huge army and go whack the opposing forces. It is fun, it is addictive and it requires some planning and strategy to win. What is surprising is that it is a turn based game. Nowadays, most games are real-time, made famous by the Command & Conquer series. However, Heroes is one of the few super fun turn based games which I really enjoy. If you are not into those fast paced games (or you are just getting old), have a try at Heroes. You might find that you actually enjoy playing games!
And now comes King's Bounty : The Legend. I believe this game is based on an old game King's Bounty. But from what I have played, it is kind of like Heroes of Might & Magic. The actual game is real time but when it comes to combat, it switches to turn-based. And it is basically the same as Heroes. You build up your army and then go around solving quests and killing monsters. Sort of like an Strategic Roll Playing Game. And your character gains experience and his stats will improve. Furthermore, you get to get married. In the game, I got married to a frog! And we had kids! Just super! Never thought in my life (even my gaming life), I would get to marry a frog. The combat (which is turned based) is one of the better parts of the game. It is exactly like Heroes which each turn you get to issue commands to your minions. Yap, they will walk across the screen and start battling out right in front of your eyes. The last one standing is the victor! What can be more fun than that?After you have defeated your enemies, you get gold and treasure, plus experience points and when you accumulate enough, you gain a level. What this does is to provide you with more powerful stats for you to combat the ever more powerful opponents. Ahhh….roll playing games, they never fails to bore me.
I have played most of the older RPG games like Baldur's Gate and Fallout. In fact, I played Fallout and Fallout 2 like 10 times. It is always fun to see your character developing into some sort of unstoppable superman. Maybe we all hope that one day we would be some sort of superman or hero. Of course, it is easier to just play a computer game. I myself think that playing games is a good way to relax and forget about work. It is definitely good for de-stressing!
So, that's it. Whenever I have some free time, I would be playing this game. Too bad it doesn't come with any LAN gaming or co-op option. I am betting that if it did, it would be one of the best games I ever played. Everyone loves playing online with their friends. That is why there are so many online games nowadays. So much that I can hardly keep track of all of them.

Before I get to my question/rant/comment/whatever let me just say that I hope all the East Coasters and their loved ones are hanging in there during this next round of storms.
So I decided to give online dating a try again. Every new single chick friend I worked to hard to spend the last year meeting met some dude online and has disappeared. *sigh* So there must be good ones hiding right? I've tried every other viable option to meet someone anyway so I might as well give online dating another go.
Guy #1 was definitely an eager beaver right out the gate. He made a really nice introduction and then closed with asking for a date. That's weird right? Yeah I thought so. I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and replied clearly attempting to get to know him better and indicating that we could wait a bit on a date. He didn't even know my name yet lol. Then he proceeded to send several emails each only a few minutes apart asking when we were going to go out, if I was ok with xyz place, if time a was better than time b for me, etc. Wow creepy. I just hit delete and put him out of my mind. Then a few days later he emails asking what happened and what made me stop talking with him? I opted to honestly (yet politely) answer his question to which he responded saying he appreciated that info and wished me luck in my search. A nice ending to a creepy start with an early 30s guy.
Guy #2 appears to have limited conversational skills and uses his emails to talk at me in brief sentences rather than talk to me. He didn't bother to even learn my name, but asked me out for a drink. I declined his drink offer, to which he countered with dinner and asked for my name. Trying hard not to be judgemental I chalked it up to general nerves/awkwardness and made a light joke out of the name thing. Then I provided my number and suggested we actually try talking (note I said talking, not texting) and go from there. Simple enough right? So then yesterday I get a few weird text messages blabbering on about mundane things like running errands, exercising, and general nonsense. I had no idea who they were from since no name or intro was provided, I didn't know the number, and the city that number is from is one I don't go to and don't know anyone from so I ignored them figuring they were sent in error. Then this guy sends me an email today saying he tried texting me yesterday and didn't hear from me. I guess he's the mystery weirdo lol. I'm torn between pointing out his idiocy and just hitting delete. He's in his early 30s so there really isn't an excuse for poor communication skills, but for now I'm simply doing nothing until my annoyance subsides.
Guy #3 is also in his early 30s and his email conversation is good. We seem to have plenty in common and he's cute so I figured things were going to progress. So his next email asks if I'd like to move from emailing to texting. Huh? Ok now I get that I have made plenty of rants on here about how I loathe texting and I don't give a rats rear that it is all the rage so I'll refrain from getting on that soapbox. I will however say this. Texting is not a move forward from emailing, it is a lateral move. It is essentially the same impersonal communication style with a ridiculously small character limit. Ok end rant, soapbox not needed. I just replied saying I wasn't much of a texter, but he was welcome to call me sometime and provided my number. I fully expected to never hear from this guy so I put him out of my mind. Then he emails going on about how he never calls anyone because he thinks texting is easier. Ok that's fine and I didn't bother replying. Then he later sends me a text (seriously?!) saying he knows I'm not a texter, but he wanted to say hi and hopes to hear from me. *eye roll* Again I'm waiting for my annoyance to subside before deciding what to do if anything.
Guy #4 is in his mid 30s and our email chatter went so well he actually asked for my number and called. Thank heavens, one of them gets it. Things continued to go well and he asked me on a date. An actual date, not out for a drink or coffee, but a proper date. After getting myself all foxy I'm on my way to meet him thinking oh heavens if he's ambitious and has old fashioned manners I'll marry him on the spot. So the date starts out good and there are indeed old fashioned manners. Then I'm halfway through my entree and he drops this oh-by-the-way-I-have-a-16yo-kid bomb. Huh? Ok I get that some guys in their mid 30s will have kids, but I wasn't expecting teenagers. While I don't desire a single dad it was nice to hear that he is an active parent even though the kid doesn't live with him. He even made a comment about women always writing him off when they find out he has a kid without learning that his kid is nearly an adult and he a healthy relationship with his ex. That made me feel a bit guilty so I didn't make a run for it lol. Then I learned that he has zero career ambition. He has made it by all these years hopping from job to job, many of which are not well paying and are often seasonal. Now I get that he works as much as he has to in order to support his kid and I think that is great, but my issue is that he doesn't have a desire for anything more. He even described himself as the kind of person who has all these great ideas on jobs/businesses that he'd be great at, but he has no follow through. He's totally fine just getting by. I'm flabbergasted, but he's totally in his right to stay that way. There will not be a second date however.
Then of course there are dozens of other early to mid 30s guys emailing cheesy one liners, trying to get laid, sending messages so poorly spelled I can't read them, and just making stupid comments in general. I get that dating is tough at any age, but I swear guys were not this socially inept when I was a 20something. If this is really what's left for me at 30 the only option left is going to be to hire a male escort to take me to events (no not for sex!) and go places with. If I'm paying them I can demand that they not text, have old fashioned manners, and only say smart things right?

Cyber-Security Stocks Slide -- Are They Now a 'Buy'?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It hasn't been the best week for the much-hyped security specialists Fortinet (FTNT) and Check Point Software Technologies (CHKP).
Shares of the cyber-security firms took a nosedive on Wednesday amid concerns about business spending. Investors, though, can now buy the shares more cheaply, given that the industry is in the midst of a growth phase, analysts say.
"It is clear that macro conditions are tougher, but security is continuing to hold up relatively well," wrote Todd Weller, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus, in a note released on Wednesday.
Shares of Fortinet closed down 19% at $20.14 on Wednesday, the day following its third-quarter results. Although the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based firm met analysts' estimates, it cut its full-year revenue forecast to between $524 million and $528 million. Previously, Fortinet had predicted revenue of $525 million to $530 million.Check Point shares plunged 13% to $41.15 following the firm's fourth-quarter forecast, also released Wednesday. The Tel Aviv-based network-security firm predicted revenue between $355 million and $387 million, a broad span reflecting a climate of economic uncertainty. Analysts were looking for revenue of $382 million. Speaking on a conference call to discuss the results, Check Point CEO Gil Shwed blamed the conservative outlook on worries in Europe, but also pointed to double-digit growth and "very good results" in the U.S. Stifel Nicolaus' Weller thinks Check Point's guidance may be too cautious. "The lower end of the range is likely overly conservative," he wrote. "The low end of the range implies a double-digit year-over-year decline. While anything is possible, we have not picked up anything that suggests that degree of pressure is likely to materialize." Weller lowered his Check Point price target from $64 to $55, but alerted investors to the company's potential. "The appropriate course of action is to view this as a buying opportunity," he wrote. FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives maintained his "outperform" rating on Check Point. "We continue to see a high level of interest in the company's product strategy in the field and believe Check Point is well-positioned to capitalize on a healthy market opportunity in the network security landscape for the next 12 to 18 months," he wrote. "While it would be easy to throw in the towel on Check Point today, we continue to believe in the reaccelerating growth/billings story into 2013 and ultimately believe the risk/reward on the shares is compelling at current levels." Similarly, Fortinet has not lost its luster on Wall Street, despite a slower-growth quarter and weaker-than-expected performance in China. "We continue to be positive on the fundamentals for the company, including an attractive growth market, broad product line and high performance solutions that span all vertical markets and geographies," wrote Rick Sherlund, an analyst at Nomura Equity Research, in a note. "We maintain a 'buy' rating on more conservative estimates." During a post-earnings interview with TheStreet, Fortinet's outgoing CFO, Ken Goldman, highlighted recent large deals. During the third quarter, he said, Fortinet had 61 deals over $250,000 and 16 over $500,000, compared to 39 deals over $250,000 and 13 over $500,000 in the same period last year. Goldman, who's leaving Fortinet to become Yahoo!'s (YHOO) CFO, also pointed to the company's new FortiOS 5.0 operating system, which it's touting as a way for businesses to deal with advanced security threats and the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) phenomenon whereby employees hook their own gadgets up to corporate networks. "We're well-positioned with the new products we just announced," he said. "It positions us well to finish off the year in Q4." FortiOS 5.0 runs on the company's flagship FortiGate device, an all-in-one security product that combines firewall, anti-virus, VPN and intrusion-prevention systems. Fortinet is also one of TheStreet's Breakout Stocks. Portfolio manager Bryan Ashenberg took advantage of the company's recent weakness to add to his Fortinet position this week. Sourcefire (FIRE), another Breakout Stock, also took a pounding on Wednesday, closing down 12% at $42, although Ashenberg pointed to the firm's recent positive pre-announcement. "Its government exposure helped insulate its quarterly results," he noted. Next week, all eyes will be on security software giant Symantec (SYMC), which reports its fiscal second-quarter results on Wednesday. The Mountain View, Calif.-based firm, however, recently swapped out its CEO, replacing Enrique Salem with Steve Bennett, who has not yet revealed his plans for the company. "We see a neutral setup for Symantec shares," wrote Stifel Nicolaus' Weller, in a recent note. "The near-term driver of this stock will revolve more around the outcome of the new CEO's 120-day review as opposed to the fundamentals. However, don't expect September quarter results to yield a material update here." Symantec shares closed down 2.5% at $17.85 on Wednesday. --Written by James Rogers in New York.

I am writing to inform you of my feelings toward the proposed assault weapon legislation (SB Bill 281 and HB 294.) I must advise you that I have never felt more threatened or terrorized by my state government than I do right now.
I am a law-abiding, tax-paying citizen of the state of Maryland, and I cannot believe the amount of gull and anti-intellectual thought that must have gone into writing these bills. The people who wrote these bills have absolutely no fundamental understanding of our God-given rights laid out in the United States Constitution.

I'm making up for missing the boat on Friday's Project last week with an extra cool project this weekend. I've wanted to make canning jar juice boxes for a while now, but didn't think I had the time. It turns out it only took me 10 minutes to make three, and with 15 minutes, I could have made at least half a dozen. (I should have taken the time to make some for a barbecue last weekend—I always seem a litlle behind).
I've seen other jar juice boxes that just use decorative paper as the top, but didn't think they were as sturdy as a juice box that actually uses the canning jar lid—less mess when they get knocked over! I also like that the paper cover for the lids can be replaced to coordinate with whatever colors or theme matches your party or mood.
This project is also a great way to use old canning jar lids. Lids can only be used once for sealing preserves, but their life span for storage is far from over. A true Down to Earth craft: sustainable and good living. Use a bigger jar for a water bottle to take to the office or on a picnic.
You will need:
I saw this post on Apartment Farm the other day. Chalkboard lids for these juice boxes would be great for a kids' party! Write each kid's name on their lid to avoid mix-ups.

I love the great use of "old" canning lids. Fun idea and sounds easy to make.

Great toner. My pores seem to be getting smaller. I love MN products. They are very underrated.
I used to use glycolic acid & have been using this for a week & I'm amazed. NO breakouts & that is rare for me & my skin is so soft & smooth! My skin looks flawless! I'm SO impressed with this stuff! I apply before bed. :) I love MN skincare. It is the only stuff not to dry me out & break me out! LOVE LOVE LOVE! :)

Hi - This product is so wonderful that I just had to review it. I have sensitive skin, especially on the inner cheek area. I want to exfoliate, but I must be careful. I wash my face with Clinique mild soap first, then I put this on a cotton ball and go around the outer edge of my face, being careful of my inner cheeks. Then, I rinse with tap water, normal temp.
My face looks as if I have new skin; it is exfoliated in the most gentle way, no burns or anything. It does a much better job than stronger exfoliates I have used.
I either use the Clinique mild soap, Caress bar in white peach, or Purpose before using this toner. The grained scrub that Merle Norman has burns me up. However, this scrub may be great for oily skin.
Merle Norman has other toners, but this aha one is the best, in my opinion, especially if you want a serious and gentle treatment.. It also comes in the normal/oily range. Give it a try!
(I have seen exfoliate spelled like this, or exfoliant Not so sure which spelling to use.)

Is the Time Right for a Conscious Hip Hop Comeback?April 30th, 2013
By Jacob Rohn
With the continued scrutiny of President Obama, an economy that has many people "threatening" to move to Canada and prescription drug addiction yielding a shocking number of high profile deaths, isn't it time for hip hop to go back to being the streets' CNN instead of continuing to look more like the music version of MTV's Jersey Shore?
With each decade that passes it becomes increasingly rare to find substantive music among the Billboard charts leaders or Top 40 radio stations. Hip hop has perhaps been the most visible example, but each genre can make a good case. Perhaps the best example of this great digression is the comparison between the original Woodstock Music Festival, which took place in 1969, and the revamped version, which took place in 1999. The original was quite possibly the greatest example of music as an imbedded part of the culture. Ideologies manifested themselves with every figure and the anti-war sentiments became a movement whose soundtrack would forever be immortalized as a bookmark in American culture. Conversely, the 1999 Festival was best remembered for a string of fires that audience members started as organizers and security struggled to control a belligerent and voracious crowd of almost 200,000.
Hip hop is quite possibly the perfect microcosm of how much more valuable a catchy hook has become than a meaningful message. Acts like N.W.A., Public Enemy and Run DMC found mainstream success while maintaining their positions as the voices of the streets. Less than a decade later, Tupac Shakur bridged the gap between club hits and meaningful fables in a way that no one had ever seen, mixing songs like the raunchy "How Do U Want It" with cautionary tales like "Wonder Why They Call U B—h."
Since the 2000s, however, commercial success has become largely dependent on a song's presence in the club, with most of the more meaningful songs being relegated to anonymity. Artists like Talib Kweli and Common, while popular among college crowds, seldom garner enough mainstream attention to bring the issues they rap about to the forefront of public consciousness. So what or who has the ability to create a paradigm shift that will resonate across an entire culture? Watch The Throne for the answer.
Arguably the single biggest holy s–t moment in hip hop since the days of N.W.A. was when Kanye boisterously exclaimed "George Bush doesn't care about black people" on live television. Though many people despised Mr. West for such insubordinate actions, it created a dialogue and forced people to take a closer look just how poorly Hurricane Katrina (which affected mostly African-Americans) was handled.
Then you have Jay-Z, who struck back at politicos who criticized his visit to Cuba with the scathing, politically-charged "Open Letter." Time and time again, Hov has demonstrated just how much he sets the tone and the trends in hip hop.
The two covered a lot of pressing issues on 2011's Watch the Throne album, but the songs that monopolized the radio waves were "Otis" and "N—-s In Paris," while songs like "Murder to Excellence," which chronicled Chicago's black-on-black crime epidemic, and "New Day," which details the perils of growing up as the child of a black celebrity, went largely unnoticed by the mainstream.
With the middle class shrinking daily and racial and socioeconomic issues continuing to go under publicized, it's time that hip hop goes back to serving as the voice of those who aren't being heard instead of sounding like the soundtrack to the nightlife of the wealthiest 1 percent.
