A church built by prisoners of the Napoleonic war
Show full description
This simple, slender-towered Dartmoor church was built between 1812-14 by prisoners captured in the Napoleonic Wars with France, and the War of 1812 with the United States - they were held at Dartmoor prison. Cherry and Pevsner describe the location on Dartmoor as 'unquestionably the bleakest place in Devon'. It is 436 metres above sea level and exposed to high winds and twice the national average rain fall. The walls are of local granite and the interior is as plain as the exterior. The east window contains stained glass of 1910 in memory of the American prisoners who helped to build the church.

A picturesque ruin with a monastic feel set dramatically upon a cliff
The rugged remains of this Medieval church sit dramatically on a cliff above Stoke Bay. It has a strangely monastic feel to it. The aisle and porch have carved wagon roofs, but the rest of this atmospheric church is a picturesque ruin as it was abandoned by parishoners around 1870 in favour of the new church built at Noss.
Torbryan Hill, Torbryan, Newton Abbot, TQ12 5UR
Mighty Medieval church deep in the countryside
The approach to this church, through typical narrow Devon lanes to an isolated and wooded valley, does not prepare you for a building of such size and grandeur. The church is a perfect example of the Gothic Perpendicular style and was unusually constructed in one 20-year building campaign between 1450 and 1470. The superb, soaring tower rises in three stages, and has an octagonal stair turret which forms a dramatic architectural feature. As you enter look up at the exquisite and rare fan-vaulted ceiling with four small angels supporting the central ribs of each fan. Inside there is a beautifully carved altar screen that spans the width of the church, dividing the interior with its graceful arches. Below ithe screen are painted panels of 40 saints – they were once whitewashed, perhaps to save them from the puritanical zeal of the Reformation. The delicacy of the wood carving is echoed by the elegant tracery of the windows, many of which contain Medieval stained glass. Parts of the original rood-screen were reused, probably in the early 19th-century, to form the pulpit, while at the same time the original pulpit was reconstructed as the altar. The 15th-century oak benches survive but were enclosed in the 18th-century to form box pews.

A church on a hill above a wooded valley
Set on a hillcrest above the lovely wooded Tamar valley, at the end of a long lane with only a farm nearby, this little church is unassuming, but most appealing. It is mostly Medieval but the low tower was rebuilt in 1791 and there are delightful domestic Georgian sash windows on the north side. It has a barrel roof, continuous over nave and chancel, a simple 14th century granite font and a fine group of slate headstones in the pretty churchyard.
Cathedral Close, Exeter, EX1 1EZ
A thousand-year-old church in the heart of modern Exeter.
St Martin's props up the black-and-white building of Mol's Coffee House on a corner of Exeter''s historic Cathedral Close. It is one of the oldest buildings in the city, consecrated a year before the Norman Conquest, and was once one of six churches clustered in the cathedral's shadow. It is the most important and complete church in the centre of Exeter, having escaped both Victorian refurnishing and the Second World War bombing which severely damaged many other Exeter churches. The first church on this site was consecrated on 6 July 1065 by Bishop Leofric, the same bishop who founded the cathedral in Exeter. Its tiny parish –- smaller than the size of a football pitch –- served the workers and traders who crowded into the three- and four-storey houses in the surrounding streets. The roughcast exterior of red volcanic stone with bright, white Beer stone windows makes it look a little bit like a fancy gingerbread house. Inside, it is simple and full of light. Look out for the communion rails with their closely set balusters designed, according to a 17th-century order from the Archbishop of Canterbury, to keep parishioner's' dogs from reaching the altar! The gallery has painted on it the arms of the city and of Bishop Trelawny, a local hero in Cornwall, who was imprisoned for libel by James II. There are also several magnificent monuments in the church including one of Philip Hooper (a benefactor who donated the reredos) - splendidly bewigged, he kneels at a prayer desk with a skull and pile of books.
North Huish, South Brent, TQ10 9NQ
A stone-spired landmark nestled in the hills below Dartmoor
This beautiful 15th-century, stone-spired church is a landmark in a fold in the hills just below Dartmoor and it has wonderful views to the south. St Mary's is mainly of the 15th century and the tower and stone spire remain largely unaltered, but inside, the furnishings are mostly Victorian, as are the memorials that line the church walls including one to the widow 'Admonition Strode'
Bradstone, Tavistock, PL19 0QS
A simple church in a picturesque setting
This handsome Medieval church stands in a picturesque, secluded setting by a manor and gatehouse. It was built in the 12th century, with the with an arcaded north aisle and impressive square tower added in the 15th. Plastered inside, and lit through clear glass windows, it retains a simple elegance that is surprising given its secluded spot.
Satterleigh, Umberleigh, EX37 9DJ
A tiny atmospheric gem of a country church
The church of St Peter lies deep in the country in the hills above the river Mole. A creaking Medieval door opens into a charming interior, with a panelled oak roof, carved pulpit, reading desk and beautiful painted texts. Above the pews, the 24 hat pegs are a reminder of the congregation's size – the church holds no more than 40. On a sunny day, pretty windows scatter light on the rough, limewashed walls. There is a 15th century font and pretty Victorian tiles.
Church Lane, Parracombe, Barnstaple, EX31 4RJ
Legendary hilltop church with a perfect interior
Set in glorious countryside on the edge of Exmoor this hilltop church seems to be a modest Medieval building, but it is the lovely light Georgian interior with painted texts and wonderful furnishings that have hardly changed for 200 years that make it very special. The undulating slate floors and leaning arcade only add to the unforgettable charm of this church. There are rails round three sides of the altar, the Ten Commandments painted on a board above a pretty 15th-century screen, a three-tier pulpit with reading desk, box pews, and musicians' seats raised on steps at the west end. St Petrock's is believed to be the last church in Devon to use musicians to accompany the hymns – there is a hole in one of the pews to allow room for the bow of a bass viol. In 1879 there was a proposal to pull the church down because of fears for its stability, and to build a new one on the same site. The poet John Ruskin led the protests and sent a £10 cheque to support the preservation of the church. The objections were successful and the church was saved.
West Ogwell, Newton Abbot, TQ12 6EW
A winding lane to an unexpected discovery
The winding lane that leads to this Medieval church twists through the countryside, adding to the feeling of discovery when you arrive. The church has an atmosphere of remote obscurity which belies its closeness to Newton Abbot. The church stands on a knoll beside the former manor house (built in 1790). The exterior is severely plain - the chancel and nave date from about 1300, with the tower added in about 1400. The elegant interior, which has box pews, tiered benches in front of the tower screen and elegantly curved communion rails is mostly Georgian, apart from the Medieval roof, 13th-century sedilia and a simple Jacobean pulpit. There are lovely views from the churchyard.

Any of the simple sugars that serve as building blocks for carbohydrates. They are classified based on their backbone of carbon (C) atoms: Trioses have three carbon atoms, tetroses four, pentoses five, hexoses six, and heptoses seven. The carbon atoms are bonded to hydrogen atoms (singlehorzbondH), hydroxyl groups (singlehorzbondOH; see functional group), and carbonyl groups (singlehorzbondCdoublehorzbondO), whose combinations, order, and configurations allow a large number of stereoisomers (see isomer) to exist. Pentoses include xylose, found in woody materials; arabinose, found in gums from conifers; ribose, a component of RNA and several vitamins; and deoxyribose, a component of DNA. Important hexoses include glucose, galactose, and fructose. Monosaccharides combine with each other and other groups to form a variety of disaccharides, polysaccharides, and other carbohydrates.

SIMPLE applies SIP to the problems of:
Implementations of the SIMPLE based protocols can be found in SIP Softphones and also in SIP Hardphones.
The core protocol machinery. It provides the actual SIP extensions for subscriptions, notifications and publications. RFC 3265 defines the SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY methods. SUBSCRIBE allows to subscribe to an event on a server, the server responds with NOTIFY, whenever the event come up. RFC 3856 defines, how to make use of SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY for presence. Two models are defined, an end-to-end model, -each User Agent handles presence subscriptions itself- and a centralized model. The latter introduces the concept of a presence server. All subscriptions are handled by this server. The message PUBLISH (RFC 3903) allows User Agents to inform the presence server about their subscription states.
Presence documents. The presence information is coded in XML documents, that are carried in the bodies of the respective SIP messages. RFC 3863 and RFC 4479 describe this procedure, RFC 4480 (RPID), RFC 4481, RFC 4482 (CPID) and various drafts describe contents and formats of the presence documents.
Privacy, policy and provisioning. If the centralized model is used, the User Agents need a way to define who may subscribe to which amount of their presence information. RFC 4745 and RFC 5025 define a framework for authorization policies controlling access to application-specific data. The XCAP protocol (RFC 4825), carried by HTML, allows User Agents to communicate their presence rules to a XCAP server, who rules the information exposition of the presence server. RFC 3857 and RFC 3858 define a subscription event "watcher info". User Agents may subscribe to this event to be informed, who is subscribing their presence information.
The Page Mode makes use of the SIP method MESSAGE, as defined in RFC 3428. This mode establishes no sessions.
The Session Mode. The Message Session Relay Protocol (RFC 4975, RFC 4976) defines text-based protocol for exchanging arbitrarily sized content of any time between users. An MSRP session is set up by exchanging certain information, such as an MSRP URI, within SIP and SDP signaling.

As I Lay Dying Suffering Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Section.Paragraph) Every "section" is marked by a shift in narrative point of view.
Quote #7
The stall door has swung shut. Jewel thrusts it back with his buttocks and he appears, his back arched, the muscles ridged through his garments as he drags the horse out by its head. In the glare its eyes roll with soft, fleet, wild opaline fire; its muscles bunch and run as it flings its head about, lifting Jewel clear of the ground. He drags it on, slowly, terrifically; again he gives me across his shoulder a single glare furious and brief. (50.5)
Jewel's bravery and heroism shine in the novel's most violent moments.
Quote #8
It just cracked. It wouldn't come off.
"It'll take the hide, too," Mr. Gillespie said. "Why in the tarnation you put it on there? Didn't none of you think to grease his leg first?"
"I just aimed to help him," pa said. "It was Darl put it on."
"Where is Darl?" they said.
"Didn't none of you have more sense than that?" Mr. Gillespie said. "I'd 'a' thought he would anyway."
Jewel was lying on his face. (51.13-8)
Jewel and Cash, the sons who do the most for the family, are punished the most.
Quote #9
"I reckon he ought to be there," pa says. "God knows, it's a trial on me. Seems like it ain't no end to bad luck when once it starts." (53.7)
Again, Anse's lament revolves only around his own pain. He doesn't seem to recognize (or care?) about the rest of his family.

Thomas A. Dooley III (1927 – 1961)
Thomas Dooley was a doctor who organized medical aid clinics in Southeast Asia during the 1950s. His books introduced many Americans to the growing conflict in Southeast Asia, which would eventually result in the Vietnam War.
Thomas A. Dooley III was born on January 17, 1927. His parents, Thomas A. Dooley Jr. and Agnes Wise Dooley, were members of a prominent Irish Catholic family in St. Louis. Dooley attended private schools in the city and graduated from St. Louis University High School in 1944.
Dooley went to the University of Notre Dame for a short time before enlisting in the U.S. Navy. While in the military, Dooley served as a medical corpsman in naval hospitals in New York and California. He briefly returned to Notre Dame before being admitted to the St. Louis University School of Medicine in 1948. As a medical student, Dooley was inconsistent and often skipped class. He was forced to repeat his senior year.
After finally graduating from medical school in 1953, Dooley was not allowed to begin a residency in St. Louis because his professors did not believe he was ready. He decided to reenlist in the navy. From 1954 to 1955 he participated in Operation Passage to Freedom, which assisted refugees evacuating from communist North Vietnam to South Vietnam. Dooley acted as a spokesman for the cause. His experiences in Vietnam led him to write a best-selling book, Deliver Us from Evil.
Dooley's anticommunist views quickly made him a popular figure not only in Catholic circles, but also in American society as a whole. His fame came at a time when many Americans were afraid communists would take over the government. Years after his death, it was revealed that Dooley was being used by the CIA for propaganda.
During a publicity tour for his book in early 1956, Dooley was quietly forced to resign from the navy because of his sexual orientation. However, he did not let this incident slow him down. Almost immediately, Dooley announced he was returning to Southeast Asia to set up a medical missions operation in Laos. The first clinic was established in the fall of 1956. While working in Laos, Dooley maintained a weekly radio program, That Free Men May Live, which was broadcast on KMOX in St. Louis.
In the next few years, Dooley wrote two more books, The Edge of Tomorrow and The Night They Burned the Mountain, both about his medical work in Laos. He also focused on raising funds to expand medical missions throughout the world. The new organization was called MEDICO (Medical International Cooperation) and flourished in the beginning because of Dooley's celebrity status as an author and public speaker. His popularity likely paved the way for John F. Kennedy to become the first Catholic president of the United States.
Unfortunately, Dooley's success was brief. Diagnosed with an aggressive form of skin cancer in 1959, he died in New York on January 18, 1961.
Without Dooley's strong personality to keep it going, MEDICO was soon absorbed by the relief organization CARE. However, Dooley's humanitarian efforts continued to inspire others. When President Kennedy created the Peace Corps in 1961, he cited Dooley's service as an example.

Rated 4 out of 5 by bremama Cool Crayons
The crayons are cool to play with, but a little tough when it comes to actual coloring. My little guy (just turned 2) is not a master color-er yet, and has a little bit of a tough time applying enough pressure to get color out of the crayon to the page. He has an easier time with traditional crayons, as these are a little more tough and waxy.
However, he loves sorting the crayons, stacking them in the box, playing with the box (looks like a cruise ship), and I know one day will enjoy actual coloring with them.

Tens of Thousands of Students and Hundreds of Campuses Can't Be WrongTake Back College has been requested as a 'must have again' company by 100% of the students we've served.
According to exit surveys, the top four words students describe Ryan Penneau as are RELATABLE, ENERGETIC, THOUGHT PROVOKING and ENGAGING. "Your enthusiasm is infectious, your positivity is boundless, your personality is one of a kind, your commitment is unequaled, your energy seems never ending. You have had a profound impact on how I view life and others lives around me, I will remember this the rest of my life. Thank You." - Tim S., Pine Tech College "Nothing about you or your presentation is cliché. It was fantastic!" - SGA president, Cedar Valley College "I have no hesitancy whatsoever in recommending Ryan Penneau for your next student leadership retreat, event or workshop. As a Student Life Director, I am really pleased with the passion and the commitment that Ryan Penneau brings to the table when he conducts this leadership trainings. He is very professional and also happens to be a dynamic, energizing, and dedicated facilitator who truly understands student development." - Brent Glass, Metro State University, Director of Student Development and Programming "It's been over a year since Ryan presented on my campus, and I still remember the experience and I am still using what I learned. More programs out there should be held to the same standard. Unbelievable!" -Joshua Michael, Rockford University, Graduate Assistant "Students couldn't believe how interactive and how fast the experience went by. The training far exceeded their expectations and as you can see from the survey results they want to happen again! As from my position the training did exactly what I was hoping for…change the culture and expectations of the SGA. I feel like the entire day was a success and I am very interested in continuing to have Ryan here on campus to work with the SGA Members each year. I would like to see how we can build upon the success of this year for years to come. Let's please have a further conversation about how we can build this into the school year again next year." -Morgan Rocheleau, St. Joseph's College of Maine, Director of Student Activities "I want to start off by saying, that I think that he was an absolutely amazing speaker! I loved every second that I spent in that room with him. He truly inspired me as a person, and opened my eyes to the world that is still going on around me all the time. I am not sure how other students took this speaker, but, I wanted to give you feedback on how I felt individually. I would love for him to come back to UIU in the future, because I truly feel changed and blessed to have sat through such an experience! Thank you so much for this opportunity here at UIU." -Llani Main, Upper Iowa University "RYAN BRINGS IT ALL! Your knowledge, communication skills, sense of timing and tactfulness, vision and inspiration demonstrate the best I have ever observed in my 40 plus years of attending leadership presentations, seminars and conferences. Having been a seminar facilitator and trainer for the past four decades, I see how you bring the energy, values, ideas and content in a motivational and instructional delivery style. And you make it easy for the audience to engage in deep learning by anchoring emotion with content in an enduring way. Thank you!" -Dr. Larry Lindsay - Indiana Wesleyan Chief of Staff. Former VP for Zig Ziglar's See You At The Top "All of the students, the faculty, ALL OF US LOVED YOUR PRESENTATION! You received 'Excellent' marks from 100% of the attendees of the conference!

Thank you!" - Joie Lee - Kirby Leadership Institute Assistant Director of Leadership Development "Ryan brings an unmatched energy! He shares his passion for leadership and personal development by literally reaching the entire audience!

Our students responded to his approach and truly benefited from the very intentional and well formulated message Ryan shared." -Sara Ann Suwalski - University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh, Director of Student Leadership "What makes students tick, think, work is what Ryan brings. It takes a special kind of person and talent to deliver this kind of message, and without a doubt, Ryan is the guy. I look forward to working with you in the future; and even more excited about creating more results among our people!" -Joe Artim - University of Minnesota-Duluth - Director of Financial Markets Program "Ryan makes an experience memorable! His infectious energy, enthusiasm and passionate intensity helped me to increase my level of commitment to the program, and achieve personal breakthroughs that remain with me to this day (3 years later). What was most impressive was Ryan's personal integrity and candor. One of the best I've seen and I've seen them all!" -Dan Strutzel - Nightingale and Conant, The world leader in success and development. VP of Sales "Ryan brings creativity, energy and a WOW-factor that few presenters can match! He connects very well with students on our campus, and continues to be accessible as a supportive person via social media and email after he is on campus (which you just don't see much of). His commitment to students and learning is above and beyond. I have had the opportunity to work with Ryan Penneau in a variety of settings over the past year, and I highly recommend Ryan (and will continue to bring him to our campus for future leadership workshops and presentations). High Five Ryan!" -Jason Neuhaus, Inver Hills Community College, Director of Student Life "Ryan has been an asset to the development of the students whom he's engaged with on our campus. His commitment and service to our campus has been unyielding. He is exceptionally easy to work with and highly professional. He is always looking to create moments of added value when he's on campus: whether it is Q and A sessions, workshops, classroom visits, or anything. What he brings to our campus and students is irreplaceable!" -Tracey Bolen, University of Minnesota at Duluth, Director of Student Affairs "What impressed me the most is his deep commitment to making every moment really matter! He isn't just spending time with his audience, he is making a deep, personal connection with them. Not many speakers are willing to stay around for hours after their presentation is over; but Ryan continuously demonstrates an audience-first approach. People really relate to his high energy level and his friendly but intense style of presentation. Mostly, I am most impressed with how deeply he shows his care for students and attention to their needs." -John Landrum, University of Wisconsin at Green Bay, Student Life Coordinator "Great to work with! Ryan engaged not only our student leaders, but our whole Greek Community. The event was a nice balance of presentation and activity which created a good learning opportunity. His creativity and energy inspires students to challenge themselves and perform at high levels." -John Bulcock, Minnesota State University, Assistant Dir. Greek Life "An introspective experience that was better than anything. Ryan quickly addressed issues and we took on the solutions. He was highly engaging and thought provoking. From this I will be able to better lead my organization through looking at the challenges with a new set of eyes." -Stephanie B., Bay Path College "Wise beyond his years! I wish I could have met him when I was the age of the students that he's most passionate about serving. I expect great things in your world, Ryan and in the lives of those you serve." -Debbie Tucker "Ryan! Thank you! I can still sense the exhilaration, energy, passion, motivation and ABOVE AND BEYOND commitment you made to our event." - Dr. Cheryl Chatman, Concordia University "What unbelievable execution. His patience was great in how he slowly built us up to fully interact and participate. Thank you, Ryan, for letting my realize on my own that there are some things I have to prove to myself in order for others to believe in me. Great job! Great energy! And thank you for helping us bridge what you taught to the real world!" -Alyssa Zellner "The enthusiasm you brought was amazing! I appreciate all of the personal stories and experience you brought to the table! It helped me to deeply connect with what you were saying." -Jessica Olive "Ryan is an amazing leader whose enthusiasm transformed me to realize what the possibilities are and who I deserve to be!" -Jessica Rolfsmeyer "Ryan has amazing maturity for his age (he's 24 at the time of me writing this); it can't be easy to be young and leading an executive team that could have a tendency to be close‐minded; but we were all into it!

PepsiCo Drops Lil Wayne From Mountain Dew Deal Dew To Controversial Lyrics
PepsiCo announced on Friday that are cutting ties with rapper Lil Wayne due to his Emmet Till reference in Future's "Karate Chop Remix" according to the Associated Press.
Although Wayne issued an apology, public pressure, especially from Till's surviving family, forced the company to drop the Young Money boss. They were also sponsoring his summer tour with T.I. and French Montana.
Together, Wayne and Mountain Dew created the DEWeezy campaign, although that seems to be coming to an end.
PepsiCo released a statement saying that Wayne's "offensive reference to a revered civil rights icon does not reflect the values of our brand."
Wayne's publicist, Sarah Cunningham, said it was an "amicable" parting and released no further information.

Nicki Minaj just made one brave little girl's day!
Cancer patient Miyah dreamed of meeting her idol and wearing one of her infamous pink wigs, and so the superstar rapper graciously made it a reality.
The 31-year-old performer posted a series of heartwarming photos with the adorable 5-year-old child on her Instagram, as her young fan rocked bright hair similar to her hero. In one pic, the pair embrace and smile big for the camera.
"She gave me the colorful bracelet I'm wearing. I rlly love it," the "Super Bass" singer captioned the shot.
Miyah was diagnosed with Stage 3B Burkitt's lymphoma last year and has already undergone 7 chemotherapy treatments for the disease, but you could never tell from her happy, carefree demeanor!

Welcome to Mainspring Schools!
In the 2014 edition of our yearly video, a few of our teachers talk about what makes Mainspring so special. Produced by Joey Basham and Jon Ray.
Make a Donation
Mainspring Schools provides far deeper services than required by the state standards and these services come with a cost. The school relies on financial donations to provide these services that are so crucial to giving children a great start in life.
Most of our families are low-income and are using government-subsidized childcare vouchers in their transition from welfare to work. These subsidies only pay about 60% of real costs. Private contributions help close the gap between costs and public reimbursements. More. . .
About Us
Quality - NAEYC Accredited
Diversity - Students, Staff, & Volunteers
Location - 3 minutes from downtown
Make a difference in a child's life! Mainspring Schools needs volunteers to serve in a variety of capacities ranging from working with our kids to improving our building.
Making A Difference Together
In order for Mainspring Schools to do the
important work that we
do, we must have community support. Many thanks to our generous sponsors.
We are proud to participate with the "I Live Here, I Give Here Campaign" which aims to boost local giving by educating fellow Austinites about the needs in Central Texas and the organizations working to meet those needs.

The Academy Award nominations were released this morning, and it's been all the talk today in the film industry.
For the first time in a while, the best picture category is not what is drawing the most buzz — each one of the nine nominees rightfully deserves to be there.
"Amour," "Argo," "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Django Unchained," "Les Miserables," "Life of Pi," "Lincoln," "Silver Linings Playbook" and "Zero Dark Thirty" are all up for the Oscar's biggest prize.
What is garnering a lot of attention around Hollywood and everywhere else is the nominations for best director. Going into today, everybody and their grandmother predicted Steven Spielberg, Ben Affleck and Kathryn Bigelow to be locks in this category for "Lincoln," "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty," respectively. However, the latter two did not make the cut, stunning everybody who was up bright and early to hear the nominations.
Instead, Benh Zeitlin for "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and Michael Haneke for "Amour" snuck in while Ang Lee and David O. Russell rounded out the category.
It goes to show that nobody can be considered a lock nomination any longer.
Those two directors getting snubbed by the Academy were probably the biggest surprises of the day.
"Lincoln" ended up leading all nominees with 12 nominations including three acting: Daniel Day Lewis for lead actor, Sally Field for supporting actress and Tommy Lee Jones for supporting actor, picture, director and adapted screenplay.
"Life of Pi" was in second with 11, including picture, director and all seven technical categories.
"Silver Linings Playbook," the feel good movie of the year, received eight nominations, including one in each of the four acting categories (Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver). This is the first film to accomplish this feat in 31 years.
A lot of fans are disappointed to not see indie-hit "Moonrise Kingdom," "The Master" or even "Skyfall" make the best picture list, but each movie found its way into at least one nomination.
Joaquin Phoenix received a best acting nod for his role in "The Master," even after his loud antics against the Academy two months ago. He edged out John Hawkes for "The Sessions," who had given one of the best performances in recent history.
Another surprise was to see "The Dark Knight Rises" left off the ballots entirely. Each of the first two movies in the trilogy had received at least one nomination.
Some history marks were set this year in the best actress category: the youngest nominee Quvenzhane Wallis, 9, for "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and the oldest nominee Emmanuelle Riva, 84 for "Amour." Rounding out the category was Lawrence for "Silver Linings Playbook," Jessica Chastain for "Zero Dark Thirty" and Naomi Watts for "The Impossible." Chastain had previously been nominated for "The Help" last year.
The best supporting actor group is made up of five previous Oscar winners in Philip Seymour Hoffman for "The Master," Lee Jones, De Niro, Alan Arkin for "Argo" and Christoph Waltz for "Django Unchained," who edged out co-star Leonardo DiCaprio for the fifth spot.
One interesting note is a movie has only won best picture once without its director getting nominated ("Driving Miss Daisy"), and since the Academy only had five nominees, it is bad news for the likes of "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty."
"Lincoln" appears to be the favorite for picture and director so far, given that it is the type of movie that academy members love — a biopic old history film.
Don't rule out "Silver Linings Playbook" though, because it could still become 2005's "Crash."

Alabama Bar Takes a Swing at Johnny Football
Posted By Jake Keller On September 11, 2013 @ 11:35 AM In College | No Comments
Everyone knows who Johnny Football is, but have you heard of Johnny Piñata? Otey's Tavern near Birmingham is home to this interesting party staple. Apparently 'Bama fans are still a bit bitter about the loss to Texas A&M last season and need an outlet for their frustrations.
The piñata is complete with a money sign for a jersey number, a serious case of acne (or maybe chicken pox), a handful of 100-dollar bills in one hand and a sharpie marker in the other. Which makes it fair to assume the management of Otey's aren't buying that Manziel never received any compensation for the autograph session that was the center of an investigation by the NCAA.
Customers at Otey's will be able to take their cuts at the piñata Wednesday during their trivia night and on game day, assuming there is anything left to swing at.
One thing is for sure, no matter how Manziel and the Aggies do against Alabama on Saturday, the outlook is not good for Johnny Piñata.

Posted by Sakinah in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend, Dead or Alive 5, Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur V, Street Fighter X Tekken, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on January 27th, 2012
The fighting game genre is back, and this year, it's bigger than ever. With many of the major fighters expected to make a comeback this year, fans of the genre will have a lot to choose from. And many sore fingers.
1: Soul Calibur V
Starting the year off with a bang is Namco Bandai's Soul Calibur V.The weapon based fighter's return to the spotlight after a near four year absence paves the way for a big year ahead. Soul Calibur V takes place seventeen years after the fourth installment and introduces a new cast of younger fighters, while playing host to returning favorites.
Keeping up with a tradition that began with Soul Calibur II, the fifth game in the series includes special guest character Ezio Auditore da Firenze from Ubisoft's acclaimed Assassin's Creed franchise. Tekken creator, Katsuhiro Harada, also gets in on the fun as a special non-playable character in the game's Quick Match mode. Namco is promising a better online experience with Soul Calibur V, with an improved netcode to prevent nasty lag issues.
Soul Calibur V is due out in North America on January 31st followed by a February 2nd and 3rd release in Japan and Europe, respectively.

Carved Owl
Connemara MarbleConnemara is a large peninsula in the west of County Galway. It is one of the last remaining Irish/Gaelic speaking parts of Ireland. The famous green and white Connamara marble, famed for its beauty, its color and its, was formed more than 700 million years ago. The marble is mined from deep under the 12 Bens Mountains. In ancient times, the beautiful Connemara marble was used for trading and barter. In more recent times Connemara marble was often used in the construction of granda and stateley buildings. However in current times, Connemara Marble has become synonymous with fine quality jewellery. It enhances jewellery and is becoming more and more popular. No two piecies of Connemara marble are identical so you are buying a totally unique piece of jewellery.

It's baseball season around here. The math hardly does the reality of the situation justice. Four boys {times} two games a week {equals} insanity. But it's just a season. A short(ish) three month season. As I told a friend earlier this week, I'm learning to enjoy drowning in a storm of constant activity. Great pics of them in action are a consolation.
the RBI king |
Limabain batting better than ever! |
Mexicanjumpingbain's solid double recently won the game |
But it's not all fun and games around here. I've had lots of late night laundry dates with my washing machine, making sure uniforms are clean for looming games. Entering the hallowed ground of the laundry room the other night, I was stunned by an unknown stench. There was a pile of clothes waiting to be washed, but even after I finished that load (plus two others behind it) the odor remained. It smelled like your car might smell if someone left a soggy, wet diaper in it over a long hot weekend. And I couldn't find the source. Anywhere. When I called in the entire baintrain, stringbain suggested it smelled like someone had peed in the dryer.
Of course that suggestion met with all eyes on the youngest, butterbain, and me googling my memory banks trying to recall if I'd ever specifically said NOT to pee in the dyer.
Nothing. No confession and no culprit.
Until the next day when I received this text from our Fairy Godmother/Babysitter:
Getting to the bottom of these stinky mysteries takes lots of time away from my computer - sniffing
around our laundry room/office and help from outside sources.
When I'm not busy drowning in baseball or laundry, the need for
non-emergent medical care also keeps my fingers away from the keyboard.
No big whoop, just a block of wood to the eye during a little game they made up called Deadliest Warrior. Nothing like 12year old tears and the horrific realization that he could be blind "on accident" to keep you away from the keyboard. The game is now banned from their playlist.
This afternoon's payoff to all the recent insanity is unplugging for a few hours in our ice cold creek.
Consolation indeed.

The UK and France have released a declaration on global governance and development
The United Kingdom and France intend to cooperate closely to confront the political, economic and security issues of the 21st century. Pursuit of the reform of the governance of international institutions is a necessity if they are to be made more capable of meeting the challenges raised by international security and responding to the global economic crisis and under-development.
Reform of the United Nations Security Council
We wish to pursue our efforts to ensure that the Security Council is more representative of today's world while at the same time preserving its capacity to take the steps required to cope with the problems of security posed by the 21st century.
We supported the launch by the General Assembly on 19 February 2009 of intergovernmental negotiations on Security Council reform, this being an essential stage to take the discussions of Security Council reform out of the impasse in which it has found itself for all too long now.
We reaffirm the support of our two countries for the candidacy of Brazil, Germany, India and Japan for new permanent seats, along with representation for Africa among the permanent members of the Security Council.
We support the pragmatic intermediate solution that could provide for a new category of seats with a longer mandate than that of the members currently elected. On completion of this intermediate period, a review should be taken to convert these new seats into permanent seats.
We are pleased to note that the intermediate approach gained increasing support from United Nations Member States, as has been shown by the first meetings of the General Assembly to be held within the framework of the intergovernmental negotiations.
It is therefore our belief that the intermediate solution should be considered in the 64th session of the United Nations General Assembly in 2009-2010 where we look for meaningful progress. We are ready and willing to work with all our partners to define the parameters of such intermediate reform.
Global economic governance and follow-up to the G20
The response to the international financial crisis requires renewed mobilisation based around the four key principles defined at the Washington Summit in November 2008, which were made the subject of concrete decisions in London on 2 April last: the necessity for coordinated and concerted stimulus, rejection of protectionism, more effective regulation of financial markets and a new approach to global governance.
The United Kingdom and France undertake to act together at bilateral, European and international levels to ensure the swiftest possible implementation of the decisions taken in London.
Together, we undertake to promote the following priorities:
With regard to international economic governance, we are pleased to note in particular the increase in the resources of international financial institutions and the speeding up of the timetable for the reform of their governance.
Concerning the IMF, we salute the progressive provision of additional resources for the International Monetary Fund, in accordance with the commitments entered into at the London Summit and in order to allow the fund to provide effective aid to the countries that are poorest and hardest hit by the crisis. The United Kingdom and France have made their contribution to that effort by making €11 billion available to the Fund immediately. We are ready to increase this effort further and support the principle of additional commitments from European countries to reflect their responsibilities and weight in the global economy as part of an increase by up to $500 billion of the New Arrangements to Borrow. We stress the importance of incorporating IMF immediate financing from members into an expanded and more flexible New Arrangements to Borrow, as agreed at the London Summit.
We reaffirm our support for the general allocation of special drawing rights in an amount equivalent to USD 250 billion in order to increase global liquidity.
We stress the economic difficulties with which low-income countries are confronted and the importance of the role of the IMF in addressing those difficulties. We recall the close link that exists between the poverty alleviation strategy and the macroeconomic performance of low-income countries and emphasise the importance of the tools available to the Fund in this domain. We support the enhancement of the volume and concessionary terms of loans made to such countries and support the G20 agreement to use the proceeds of gold sales and surplus income to enhance these resources by at least $6 billion in fully additional concessionary financing. We also call for greater mobilisation and an increase in the number of countries contributing to the financing of these facilities.
We reaffirm the importance of further reform to improve the responsiveness and adaptability of the IFIs given the growing integration of the global economy, with respect to both international trade and capital flows. In this context, we will work together on the G20 Chair's review of the IFIs and look for meaningful decisions to be taken at the next G20 Summit.
Concerning the Multilateral Development Banks (MDB), we undertake to play an active part in the capital review processes in accordance with the decisions of the G20 in order to ensure that they have the resources required for their activities. We recognise the relevance of this exercise in the context of the global response to the crisis, to which counter-cyclical actions must also contribute in the shorter term. Such reviews must however be part of an overarching framework guided by clear principles:
The financial strategies of the MDBs must ensure that where resources are already available these are fully utilised, including by making full use of balance sheets;
The MDBs should adapt their approaches to deal with the specific challenges posed by the global economic crisis, as agreed at the G20 London Summit;
The MDBs must adhere to the principle of budgetary discipline and the setting of loan rates such as to guarantee their financial sustainability in the long term, while at the same time strengthening their capacity to transfer resources to concessionary windows;
They must ensure that their resources are channelled to the poorest, intensifying their action in the most vulnerable countries and targeting aid at the most disadvantaged population groups in middle-income countries;
They must adopt appropriate measures for risk management as an accompaniment to the expansion of their activity, notably with regard to the private sector.
The United Kingdom and France share the same analysis of the need for the representation of developing countries in international forums to be more commensurate with their importance and responsibilities, taking into account the specific mandate of each institution. We are resolved to act together on this matter and to play an active part in the debate. The United Kingdom and France salute the initiatives taken by the Francophonie and Commonwealth to foster inclusive dialogue and the exchange of information on these issues.
We intend to mobilise our efforts to put in place a strengthened financial regulation system to permit the restoration of confidence in markets, support sustainable global growth and serve the needs of businesses and citizens. We shall seek as a priority to build a stronger, more globally consistent, supervisory and regulatory framework, supported by a strong and effective Financial Stability Board (FSB). We will also work together to improve EU and international financial supervision in accordance with the focuses defined by the Larosière Commission and the decisions of the June European Council and by encouraging further joint work by the IMF and the FSB to deliver an early warning system for the global economy. We will work to extend regulation and oversight to all systemically important financial institutions, instruments and markets, consistent with the agreement reached at the London Summit.
France and the United Kingdom will also address the task of implementing the decision of the G20 concerning uncooperative jurisdictions and remain vigilant in ensuring that the 42 countries on the OECD "grey list" meet their commitment to apply international standards for the exchange of tax-related information. It is essential that we maintain the momentum set by the London Summit. We are therefore clear that where jurisdictions have not reached the standard of information exchange agreement by March 2010, they should be subject to coordinated international counter-measures agreed in London. Both our countries also stress the importance of combating tax evasion and undertake to combine our efforts to reinforce the coherence and effectiveness of international action in this domain. We agree that the threshold of 12 tax information exchange agreements should be seen as a starting point in the move towards greater tax transparency. If progress stalls we will expect the threshold to rise above 12, bringing those who have not made further progress back into the "grey list". We will work together through the G20 to ensure that proposals are developed by the time of the next G20 Summit to ensure that developing countries can benefit from the new cooperative tax environment, including through a new multilateral tax information exchange agreement. We also call on the OECD to look at country by country reporting and the benefits of this for tax transparency and reducing tax avoidance.
The United Kingdom and France welcome the work underway to consider how the Global Forum on transparency and exchange of tax information can fully involve developing countries as equal participants and reform its governance, including to establish an effective peer review process to ensure effective implementation of the international standards, ahead of the Pittsburgh Summit. Successful development of this type of arrangement in the area of tax havens could provide a model for other areas where the OECD has a particular contribution to make to responding to global challenges.
France and the United Kingdom acknowledge the work undergone by the Financial Action task force (FATF) to revise and reinvigorate the process aiming at identifying uncooperative jurisdictions and call the FATF to proceed swiftly with its new review process in order to publicly name the jurisdictions that pose risks to the integrity of our financial system and apply counter measures where necessary.
The fight against non-cooperative jurisdictions should also encompass prudential regulations. We call on the FSB to swiftly assess jurisdictions against international supervisory and prudential standards and report back by September on their progress in identifying uncooperative jurisdictions.
In addition, France and the United Kingdom reaffirm their view that guaranteed freedom of trade is a key component of the response to the present economic and financial crisis. The commitment of the countries of the G20 to rejecting protectionism in all its forms and to maintaining a world open to trade and investment is in our view an imperative precondition for the return of sustained global prosperity. We salute in this connection the monitoring role of the WTO in this area. We are pleased to note the mobilisation of an additional $250bn to support trade finance as agreed at the London Summit, which will encourage world trade. To help the poorest countries in particular, France and the United Kingdom have both agreed to contribute to the IFC's Global Trade Initiative and call on others to do so, in line with the commitment made at the London Summit. And lastly, we call for an ambitious and balanced conclusion to the Doha Round in the coming months.
Finally, the United Kingdom and France are convinced that it is now time to lay the foundations of sustainable and equitable growth that is protective of human beings and the environment, and we are determined to take concerted action to achieve that goal. The unprecedented effort made by the international community to leave the crisis behind it must result ultimately in a better-regulated world economy, a fair and responsive labour market and less carbon-intensive growth. Both our countries are resolved to mobilise their efforts to foster the progress of environmental and social standards, notably with regard to decent work, and to support the action of the competent international organisations, notably the International Labour Organisation, while at the same time taking into account situations specific to individual countries. As agreed at the G8 Summit in Toyako, we invite international organisations, in particular the ILO, the World Bank, the IMF, the WTO and the OECD to enhance their cooperation and to improve coherence. France and the United Kingdom welcome in this respect the ILO's report on responses to the crisis, as agreed at the London Summit, and support the full and entire participation of the ILO in the next G20 summit. In the climate domain, France and UK call for the conclusion of an ambitious agreement and underline the necessity to consider the evolution of the current system of governance. We also call on all organistions involved in agriculture and food security to enhance their cooperation at all levels with a view to ensuring a more food secure world.
The international financial and economic crisis threatens the progress made in recent years by developing countries and intensifies the effort of solidarity required to assist the poorest countries, especially in Africa, with the aim of achieving the Millennium Development Goals. France and the United Kingdom wish to act jointly to address the three challenges facing the international community: the challenge of poverty, the challenge of growth and the challenge of preserving Global Public Goods.
In this context France and the United Kingdom reaffirm their commitment to achieving their ODA pledges, including for reaching the target of 0.7% of GNI to ODA. The objectives of official development aid will be maintained and that aid will be better targeted and adjusted to suit the diversity of situations and actors. The entire palette of financing sources at our disposal additional to ODA alone will be used, in order both to foster peace and security and to support the private sector, growth and employment, with a view to achieving the Millennium Development Goals. We will give strong support to reducing the costs of migrant remittances to their countries of origin, the total volume of which stands at three times the total figure for ODA.
In line with our undertakings given in 2008, we shall pursue our joint efforts to promote improvement in the public health situation in developing countries and the achievement of MDGs 5 (maternal health) and 6 (the combat against HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis). Together, we shall develop products to support the health sector with a focus on strengthening health systems to accelerate progress on priority areas like maternal and newborn health. We acknowledge that access to quality healthcare remains a key issue for vulnerable individuals in many countries in Africa and we support the implementation of sustainable modes of financing their health systems and efforts to strengthen the effectiveness of aid to the health sector. Driving this process forward, we recognise the progress made by the International Health Partnership (IHP+) to help donors provide more predictable and flexible financing in support of countries' own health strategies and welcome with satisfaction the initiative to promote and develop health cover ("Providing for Health"), which enables steps to be taken in the direction of sustainable and equitable financing for health systems and improved access to quality health services.
We also welcome our cooperation in favour of innovative financing for development which plays an essential role in mobilising additional resources for development, including in the health domain. In support of the work of the High Level Taskforce on Innovative International Financing for Health Systems and following on from the meeting of the Leading Group in Paris, the UK and France will take forward mechanisms for health systems and call on our international partners to identify mechanisms they will support by the time of the UN General Assembly in September.
To conclude, we reaffirm the priority assigned to the achievement of the MDG on primary education and the enrolment of children in education, especially in Africa. We reiterate our joint pledge, made in 2008, to support each 8 million children in school by the time of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. We recognise the role that New Technologies of Information and Communication can play in education systems, particularly the role that "on-line universities" can play in enhancing access to professional training and university studies in Africa. In line with these undertakings, we have endeavoured together to build a new partnership, notably within the framework of the G8 and the United Nations. Together with the Global Campaign for Education, we are working with FIFA, the English Football Association, the Premier League, the Ligue professionnelle de football and the Fédération française de football in the lead-up to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. This will raise awareness of universal primary education taking full advantage of the considerable impact this event will have in Africa and around the world. We have jointly committed up to €1.5 million for this campaign. We have also enhanced our contribution to the Education For All - Fast Track Initiative and call on our partners to join with us in seeking to finance the enrolment in school of those children as yet denied the opportunity of an education.
