The Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH) is a HUD-funded program whose goal, in part, is improving the energy efficiency of houses. So when PATH decided to build its first concept home to showcase its mission, it picked the best building technologies available, including insulated concrete forms, metal roofing, and spray foam insulation. For hot water needs, PATH rejected a traditional heater in favor of an on-demand tankless system.

thanks, but no tanks
Rinnai America Corp.
Homeowners can use Rinnai controllers to view and adjust the company's tankless water heaters from inside the house.
Manufacturers such as Noritz and Rheem offer a wide variety of tankless water heaters for small houses and other types of specialized situations.
Among other things, architects should know that on-demand units cost twice as much as traditional tanks. Additionally, installation can get expensive in a retrofit situation. Replacing a tank heater with a similar unit can run $500 to $800, but replacing a tank with a tankless product will cost up to $3,000, the site says. There's little difference in cost for new-construction installs.
Architects should also consider fuel type. A gas-fired tank, for example, is ideal for whole-house use. The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, a nonprofit advocacy group in Washington, D.C., also says gas-fired is more energy-efficient. Electric, on the other hand, is less effective in whole-house applications and, according to James Facer, a regional sales manager for Noritz America, better-suited to point-of-use applications such as a dedicated faucet. "The cost of operation [for an electric unit] is also higher," he adds.
Richardson acknowledges that neither technology is perfect. "There is one drawback to tankless units: they need to be in a central location of the home," she says. "But that goes for traditional hot water tanks, too, so it's not really a big deal." Indeed. As much as possible, you'll want to shorten the water lines from the unit to the delivery point for better efficiency.
DOE describes an efficient setup as one in which the hot water uses are relatively close together, with short hot water lines between them. "One of the major costs in installation is the price of the vent," Hitchner explains. You can reduce venting costs by locating the unit for the shortest runs, he says, adding that installing the unit outside is cheapest. Blatt says his firm does, in fact, favor a direct vent unit mounted on the exterior of the house.
Still, remember that even a large gas-fired unit can't supply enough hot water for multiple simultaneous uses in large houses. In those cases, multiple units work well—especially if they're set for dedicated areas that use a lot of hot water. Says Blatt, "Multiple smaller units are always better than one big unit."

Think these scenarios are rare? Not according to breastfeeding moms all over the country, who tell us they face similar hurdles practically every day. Many of them simply back off in embarrassment and anger, unsure of how to respond. But not anymore. Babytalk is here to tell you that as a breastfeeding mom you have the legal and moral rights to speak up for yourself. Here's the skinny on when and where you can breastfeed and what you can say to anyone who tries to stop you.
The right to breastfeed wherever you are
If you have a right to be somewhere with your baby, you have a right to breastfeed there.It's the law. Kerry Madden-Lunsford, a Los Angeles writer, was nursing 3-month-old Norah under a turtleneck and sweater in the children's section of a bookstore when a clerk told her, "You can't do that in here." Then a store manager suggested the rest room. "What was I supposed to do?" Madden-Lunsford says. "Leave my two older children alone? Or gather everyone and head to the toilet to nurse?" She chose to leave the store. "I just kept thinking how unfair it was. You just go through such humiliation."
What Madden-Lunsford didn't know at the time was this: "As a rule, if you have a right to be somewhere with your baby, you have a right to breastfeed," says Elizabeth Baldwin, a Florida attorney and La Leche League leader who is a national expert on breastfeeding and the law. According to Baldwin, the rule holds true whether or not your state has a law that protects a woman's right to breastfeed in public. (Almost half of states, including California, have passed such laws; to learn if yours has, check La Leche League Summary of Breastfeeding Legislation
Baldwin says there are a few places, such as courtrooms, where babies aren't allowed, so obviously, women don't have a right to breastfeed there. But in the vast majority of public places -- such as stores, restaurants, parks, and malls -- women are legally allowed to breastfeed. While many moms prefer to nurse in a quiet corner, a turned-around chair, or under a blanket, they need not go to great efforts to hide what they're doing.
If someone asks you to leave a public place where you and your baby have a right to be, Baldwin says that you can take action on the spot, perhaps by asking, "Is it okay to give my baby a bottle?" If the answer is yes, the next logical question is, "Then it should be okay to breastfeed, right?" (One mom was more blunt. When asked to take her nursing child into the rest room, she zinged back: "Would you go to the bathroom to eat your lunch?")
If you feel bold, consider reminding the establishment that the law is on your side. Say, "I have a legal right to breastfeed my baby in public. We'll be done in 15 minutes." If the staff still won't budge, you may want to leave and send them a letter later. Battling it out on the spot may not be worth the upset to you and your child.
Madden-Lunsford, who thinks that those who oppose breastfeeding are usually not malicious, just uninformed, took her battle a step further. She went so far as to file a lawsuit against the bookstore, which was later settled. In an encouraging turn of events, the company educated its employees about breastfeeding and even posted notices in store windows saying that breastfeeding moms were welcome.

T-Mobile will be one of the last mobile carriers in the United States to offer the iPhone and according to reports, when the company does have the iPhone in stock; it will be offered without subsidizing it and without a two-year contract. This means that the iPhone 5, or possibly the iPhone 5S, will be available to T-Mobile customers officially, it will not include a long contract which will draw more attention from those that do not want to be tied down for two or more years with a smartphone.
T-Mobile CEO John Legere said that the company is excited to be offering the iPhone sometime this year, but he did not confirm whether it would be the iPhone 5 or the iPhone 5S. Legere also confirmed that the company wanted to do away with contracts and sell smartphones without subsidies like it has in the past. T-Mobile will be offering new, unsubsidized Value Plans for smartphones on the network and because of that consumers will be paying a higher price right away, but could save money in the long run. According to one online source the company is looking to make the announcement around the 4th of March with hopes that the new plans will launch by the end of this month.
New customers on the T-Mobile network will have to pay more, but if you are already a customer, you will be asked to upgrade to the next step of the process or what until the contract expires, whichever comes first. The new plans by the T-Mobile network are will start from $25 to $30 per month with equipment fees and you will pay $99, or less, as a down payment. Another plus for the iPhone 5 is that it will apparently come with dual 4G radios that could be aimed at promoting the benefits of having LTE and HSPA+ access on the phone.
T-Mobile has yet to confirm a lot of the new contract information, but one thing is for sure and that is the fact that T-Mobile will be offering the new HTC One with an Unlimited 4G LTE plan with no contract. The HTC One is rumored to be getting released on the 22nd of March. T-Mobile has one of the smallest 4G LTE networks, but the company is expanding each month in order to catch up to rival carriers.

The government might as well argue that, since handicapped people can crawl on all fours or ask for help from strangers, there's no need to make buildings wheelchair accessible, the court said.Justice delayed is justice denied; get to stepping, Mr. Snow!
Three fiscal quarters into my new role at work I am pleasantly surprised to discover that CDHPs have quietly evolved from a disingenuous cost-sharing scheme foisted on workers by employers (see the Pollyannaish video, below) to a proactive, multifaceted approach intended to achieve "a pluralistic system that empowers patients and demands accountability from individuals and the health system, while adequately supporting the needs of the disadvantaged."
Moreover, the criteria for determining whether or not these lofty goals are met are both simple and progressive:
Granted, the above is only Wye River Group's take on the matter, but given that it comes directly from their An Employers' Guide to Healthcare Consumerism which was published in 2006 I am inclined to take them at their word and note this as a sea change in suppliers' attitudes towards the healthcare crisis in this country.
What Wye River Group refers to as healthcare consumerism is a synthesis of old and new ideas as well as delivery and payment models in the healthcare market. It encompasses consumer-driven health plans, value-based benefit design techniques, and good old-fashioned managed care (as opposed to managed access and/or managed costs).
Despite its name, healthcare consumerism isn't mutually exclusive of government involvement. Indeed, the techniques it espouses could go a long way towards making the already superior healthcare model in place for US military veterans that much more cost-effective and efficient – not to mention portable to state and local governments and private industry.
There are few people as skeptical of for-profit payers as I am, but in light of this evolution of thought in the consumer-driven healthcare space I am open to – and hopeful at the prospect of being – proven wrong.

Just as The Heartland Institute purports to be a non-partisan think-tank, so, too, does the monthly rag it puts out every month purport to be news, specifically, Health Care News.
It ain't so.
Every first-year high school debate student learns about fallacious arguments. It's a requirement and something you had better learn well unless you want your argument to fail, your proposal to lose, and what little social standing there is to be had from membership on the debate team to be negated by having your ass publicly handed to you by an even bigger geek at a public (albeit most likely unattended) public event.
I speak from experience here.
As the saying goes, things change.
In our modern era of corporate media, where a powerful and wealthy few dictate what constitutes both entertainment and news, as well as their bastard offspring - infotainment, the validity and coherence of one's argument doesn't matter; volume does.
Volume can be measured in decibels (talk radio), eyeballs (Drudge Report), Nielsen Ratings (Fox News, Desperate Housewives), circulation (The National Enquirer), or some combination thereof. Health Care News apparently knows how to pump-up the volume: according to their masthead they reach 53% of all healthcare professionals.
I know that healthcare is a business, and that even the most selfless non-profit organization has to figure the bottom line into the equation somewhere, but it is my sincere hope that when most healthcare professionals and the organizations they work for need to get a feel for the pulse of the nation on important questions of the day, they'll keep in mind that Charmin is a better quality paper than The Heartland Institute's propaganda organ is.
Why am I being so hard on Health Care News? For starters, they have a widget on their site that is a consistent part of their navigational structure that declares Crichton is Right! This is a reference to science fiction author and 2006 American Association of Petroleum Geologists Journalism Award-winner Michael Crichton, whose novel State of Fear denies the science of the greenhouse effect and slanders The New Republic Senior Editor Michael Crowley.
With both John McCain and Barack Obama in favor of joining some version of the Kyoto Protocols and enacting some sort of carbon cap-and-trade system, this ranks The Heartland Institute right up there with holocaust deniers and The Flat Earth Society in my book.
Is this unfair of me? Am I painting with an overly broad brush? Am I resorting to unjustified Ad Hominem attacks and throwing the baby out with the bathwater just because I think Michael Crichton is a despicable human being and corporate drama whore who is trading on name recognition in lieu of long-since-gone talent?
I don't think so.
Here's a critique of their three-article, red-letter Single-Payer expose'.
Read it.
Better yet, read the original articles independently of my critiques, and decide for yourself.
Meanwhile, I will be tackling all three of Health Care News' extremely fallacious and biased articles one-at-a-time over three posts. First up:
This article attempts to paint a picture of what universal healthcare in the United States will look like by describing in lurid detail what's going on at the bottom of the barrel in Russia's healthcare system.
For this article alone, the fallacies include:
Many state-run hospitals, particularly in remote areas, do not have hot water, and some do not have running water at all. Even the most basic medicines are often in limited supply.This is an attempt to form a Post Hoc fallacious argument. It fails in this regard, however. Awful Facilities actually Confuses Causes and Effect - the Russian Federation is the successor to the collapsed Soviet Union and the product of more than a decade of economic decline before its recent economic stabilization. Consequently, it's healthcare infrastructure isn't a shambles because the country's national, single-payer healthcare model is a failure; the country's national, single-payer healthcare model is a failure because the country's healthcare infrastructure is a shambles!
Healthcare is far too important to leave to politicians - be the autocrats or Democrats [sic]," said John R. Graham, director of health care studies at the Pacific Research Institute.Did you spot the Ad Hominem fallacy? It's tricky because it's also an example of Guilt by Association. In the above statement, the poor state of the Russian healthcare system is the fault of the autocrats, who are synonymous with Democrats! Since all Democrats are autocrats, and autocrats can't be trusted to administer healthcare, then obviously neither can the Democrats.
"The Russian 'free healthcare for all' system is nothing of the sort," said Jeff Emanuel, research fellow for healthcare policy at The Heartland Institute and managing editor of health Care News. "Instead, it is simply another program built on governmental taking of taxpayer fund and mismanagement of the services it promises to provide."You see, in the neoconservative fantasy land that Jeff Emanuel lives in, any single failed government program from any government anywhere is proof that all government programs from all governments everywhere will fail! And be sure to take a good look at just who Jeff Emanuel is: the editor of the very publication the article appears in! While this isn't a logical fallacy, it certainly makes him a less than objective - and therefore credible - subject matter expert for this particular piece.
Despite the fact that there is currently no legislation before Congress to institute a national, single-payer healthcare system, nor a presidential candidate from either party intending to introduce one (a Factual Error), even if universal coverage and a national, single-payer system were the same thing (which they are not), citing only Russia as a representative example of such a system is not only a Biased Sample fallacy, it also grossly distorts the success of the many other national, single-payer healthcare plans of every other industrialized country, all of whose citizens enjoy a comparable or superior degree of health and wellness than the average American does from healthcare systems that universally consume fewer resources and produce comparable or superior outcomes to our own.
(It is also insulting to the intelligence of anyone who has been paying attention since 1991 and knows that for all of our problems, the United States and the keystone republic of the former U.S.S.R. have about as much in common as William McGuire and Mother Theresa when it comes to infrastructure and other assets to bring to bear on their respective national healthcare concerns!)
In fact, according to the CIA World Factbook, as of 2007, per capita GDP in the Russian Federation was $14,600 - less than .33% (one-third) of per capital GDP in the United States of American ($46,000) during the same period!
Despite the enormous differences between the two counties, the average life expectancy at birth for all Russians is 84.5% that of their American counterparts, a difference of only 15.5%. Based on these numbers, if the United States were to adopt the horrific Russian healthcare system in its current form in its entirety tomorrow, but maintain current U.S. healthcare spending levels, median life expectancy at birth for all Americans would exceed 129 years!
Life Expectancy at Birth | Russian Federation | United States of America |
Total population | 65.94 | 78.14 |
Males | 59.19 | 75.29 |
Females | 73.1 | 81.13 |
Now, I know that this is a Misleadingly Vivid example, but then again so is Health Care News' representation of the Russian healthcare system as a legitimate cautionary tale for healthcare reformers in the United States looking to implement some form of universal coverage or otherwise assure care is made available to nearly 50 million of their fellow uninsured citizens.
As I pointed-out above, Rina Shah bases her entire article on a Factual Error when she presents the situation in Russia as an example of a failed universal healthcare system. However , Russia's implementation of universal healthcare is a national, single-payer universal healthcare system; there are no proposals for implementing such a system in the United States from either political party or presidential candidate.Research conducted by Moscow's INDEM think tank in 2004 showed Russians spent some $600 million each year on under-the-counter payments to health care providers. The Russian Academy of Sciences' Open Health Institute more recently estimated rampant corruption siphons off as much as 35 percent of the money spent on health care nationwide annually.Do you see the Strawman here? The figures presented above only proves that Russia's healthcare market is inadequately policed; it doesn't prove that universal or single-payer healthcare systems are inherently corrupt or result in substandard wages for healthcare professionals. The average pay of Russian healthcare professionals is also something a Red Herring: compensation of individual healthcare practitioners is not an indicator of the likelihood of an overall healthcare market's ability to function efficiently, as the performance of healthcare markets from Canada to Cuba clearly show.
Low wages are another problem. Yearly salaries of physicians average $5,160 to $6,120, while nurses average $2,760 to $3,780. This often results in underpaid physicians accepting bribes for higher-quality care.
Reforms drafted this spring by the Russian Federal Assembly include placing higher emphasis on primary care, shutting down numerous substandard hospitals, scaling down the scope of free medical assistance guaranteed by the state, and increasing physician salaries by reimbursing doctors according to the number of individual treatments given instead of by the number of hours worked.Do you see what's going on here? The reforms proposed by the Russian government are never addressed. Instead, they are summarily dismissed.
"Instead of forcing people to pay into this failed program, Russia's government should allow the market to influence the health care system, which it can begin to do by allowing its citizens to choose how their own health care money is spent," Emanuel said.
So-called "universal" health care does not actually exist, says Graham.
"At best, in a functioning democracy like Canada or Britain, it results in unequal access to health care by government rationing, lack of investment in innovation, and shortage of medical professionals," Graham pointed out. "At worst, in a country with little democratic bona fides, it results in the situation we are seeing in Russia."The author has taken great pains to paint an unfavorable, ugly, and frankly prurient (from a healthcare policy perspective) picture of Russia's national, single-payer healthcare system. Having savaged the concept generally (i.e.: Poisoned the Well), Rina Shah sees no reason to bother backing up the claims made in the concluding paragraph about the failings of universal healthcare systems in functional democracies, which are better and more realistic models for potential universal healthcare solutions in the United States. Which was clearly her intention all along.
(via IBMLabs) IBM is enlisting some of the company's leading scientists and technologists to help medical practitioners and insurance companies provide high-quality, evidence-based care to patients. As part of this initiative, IBM is collaborating with clinicians in numerous medical institutions and hiring medical doctors to work alongside its researchers to develop new technologies, scientific advancements, and business processes for healthcare and insurance providers. Dedicating $100 million over the next three years, the initiative will draw on IBM's leadership in systems integration, services research, cloud computing, analytics and emerging scientific areas — such as nanomedicine and computational biology — to drive innovations that empower practitioners to focus their efforts on patient care
To support those physical solution centers we launched the Analytics Virtual Center (AVC) at the start of 2010, and welcome you to visit it, especially as we come up on the one year anniversary of the launch of our business analytics initiative.
The AVC underscores a central tenet of Smarter Planet — how digital and physical worlds — databases and drydocks, petabytes and powerplants — are weaving themselves together. Through it, people can extend their physical presence, voice and ideas to a new digital dimension that isn't constrained by geography.
Simply Easy
The AVC is a web-based and voice-enabled collaboration complex that we built on the web.alive platform, which is now part of IBM partner Avaya's portfolio. It features a simple set of intuitive controls, quick avatar customization and 3D spatial audio. Many of the hundreds of visitors have found the environment easier to use than other virtual worlds. In fact, most people find themselves "in world" and talking naturally with others within minutes.
While the environment's navigation and architecture are purposefully minimalist, the facility supports some sophisticated tools, including a full-function "web surface" that can display any web content, including video, animation and Web-based services such as writeboards. Additional wall surfaces can display presentations, documents, photos and graphics.
In addition to an auditorium and six meeting rooms that can be made private for confidential discussions, the AVC includes a rooftop "garden" with six kiosks for different displays, projects or topics. We're also using the rooftop for an "innovator in residence" program that is open to analytics-related projects or initiatives from academia, startups, NGOs and other organizations seeking to innovate around analytics.
Of course, the AVC is also available for business development and client meetings. And we expect to also put it work as a vehicle for recruiting new talent to IBM, especially for people with expertise in various areas of analytics, simulation, predictive modeling and other aspects of "big data" innovation in areas including energy, smarter cities, healthcare and transportation.
To discuss or schedule a tour, meeting, event, the innovators-in-residence program or how you might like to work with us via the Analytics Virtual Center, we've set up a tool with the new Tungle.me appointment service.
You can also leave us a voicemail via Skype.
The following is a guest post from Lonne Jaffe, Director, Public Sector Solutions, IBM Software
This Smarter Health video describes some of the benefits of connecting electronic medical record systems with each other and with other healthcare software systems. Technology like the IBM Health Integration Framework that brings all these systems together can enable a better patient experience, improve treatments, lower costs, and allow scientists to confidentially use data for disease research. That's health information working together.
As healthcare software becomes more sophisticated, security and privacy remain a priority. IBM helps protect patient information and helps healthcare organizations comply with government privacy regulations while achieving the extraordinary benefits of smarter healthcare.

A Fine Musician is a wonderful story book app for iPad, as this book combines beautiful hand drawings with creative interactions. Be sure to tap the paragraphs of text to hear the narration, and do tap the main character, plus other areas of the screen to explore various interactions. Choose a specific page if you wish from the menu at the bottom of the screen that gives the reader the chance to scroll though mini images of each page which fit together nicely as its own piece of artwork, well worth looking at. This fun rhyming story would also make a nice tale to read out loud to children or for older children to read by themselves.
My son and I thoroughly enjoyed this book! This is an original story developed for iPad, but it is the type of tale one could believe is traditional and passed down for many generations. With nuances of the Pied Piper, this story is about a musician who plays various instruments as he roams around a village, with many onlookers following to hear him play. I am very impressed with the quality of these illustrations, done by hand, giving this app a timeless quality that reminding me of stories my mother read to me out of a book that was also her's when she was a child.
Be sure to tap the musician, as he is lovingly hand-drawn and painted, it is very striking when he moves for the first time – my son really sat up and took notice. The combination of these graceful drawings alongside quite a few hidden animations that are both simple as well as sometimes complex are wonderful for showcasing how interactions can add to the reading experience.
I love the charm of this app, as I am very happy to expose my son to the European feel of this village. There is a moment in this app when a juggler and a circus performer stand in the street watching the musician that reminded me of a Felini film, which I greatly appreciate.
Without giving anything away, I simply loved the ending of this book, especially the last few interactions as well as a moment at the end which has a very effective melancholy feel, leaving my son momentarily speechless. After a few seconds, he said, "That was a really good story." I do hope to see more story books from this developer, as the combinations of the hand-drawn illustrations and the interactions are simply wonderful.

From Twitter we learn that CNN is reporting that NATO is combing Tripoli looking for Colonel Gadaffi (or any of the other variant spellings of that name).
Unfortunately, if CNN are to be believed, NATO has just invaded another country to find the errant Colonel (Libya is a little further to the left people…)
Of course, this is not the first time that CNN or other media outlets have made errors with geography. Here's the CNN map showing the location of the Queensland flooding in Australia earlier this year:
And of course, the Gawker.com took great pleasure in reporting on how Google presented the Russian invasion of the former Soviet Republic of Georgia as being an attack on some good ol' boys in the Deep South of the United States of America (at least according to their maps)
A great resource for information on mapping and cartographical errors is The Map Room Blog

Choosing to study a joint honours degree will enable you to shape your study according to your strengths, interests and career ambitions. Combining two subjects can give your degree an international or industry perspective that will make you stand out in the graduate employment market.
Fees and funding:
Please see our applying and fees section.
You will benefit from the following learning opportunities.
PhilosophyThis course aims to develop your powers of argument, critical thinking and conceptual analysis through the search for answers to ultimate questions. People have been studying philosophy for about 3,000 years and its original questions are still being discussed by today's leading minds. Philosophers believe that the ability to question and to think critically about the world in which we live is an important skill, something that is now increasingly recognised by many of today's leading employers.
Philosophy at NTU differs from the typical philosophy courses on offer at most other universities as it is not a course in the history of ideas. The course at NTU is organised around some of the philosophical problems faced by today's decision-makers in their professional lives. In general, philosophy at NTU examines the interface between philosophical ideas and everyday life, and the course has been designed in order to help you think more clearly and more critically about the world in which you live.
At the end of your studies, you should be able to think through complex issues and questions with both clarity and rigour. No intellectual problem should daunt you! No wonder philosophy graduates are in demand by today's employers, and as a Philosophy graduate from NTU you will be ahead of the pack.
International RelationsInternational Relations is the study and understanding of the changing world in which we live. It explores relations between states, peoples, social movements and cultural and religious communities. Its major focus is diplomatic relations – war, peace, conflict and cooperation – but also international communication, terrorism, the role of the media, and protest and resistance to established power.
During this course you will look at complex situations which are exciting and challenging to analyse. You will take roles in simulation exercises and try to understand how crises are managed and problems are handled by getting into the minds of different participants. This will build your confidence, give you presentation and advocacy skills, and give you understanding across cultural barriers.
Teaching is informed by regionally aligned research strengths in:
This research feeds directly into the course, which means you will be learning about the latest issues from world-renowned experts.
Joint HonoursYou can combine either of these subjects with another subject to create your degree programme. For the full range of combinations and their UCAS codes see:
Extra opportunitiesOur flexible curriculum has been designed to create some amazing opportunities for students in the School of Arts and Humanities. Your second year of study is divided into two semesters that enable students to take part in optional:
Gain valuable work experience that will impress employers, learn another language, experience other cultures and travel the globe - all as part of your degree. Our international exchange partners include universities in:

Philosophy Joint Honours International Relations Joint Honours
Our flexible curriculum has been designed to create some amazing opportunities for you. Your second year of study is divided into two semesters that enables you to take part in the following optional opportunities:
Each year students choose a range of core and optional modules from the lists above. The first year is normally divided equally between the two joint honours subjects but at the end of Year One, students have the opportunity to select between an equally weighted joint honours course and a more specialised pathway depending on their interests.
Teaching principally takes place through a combination of:
Staff will also generally offer office hours, where you can sign up to see them in small groups or on a one-to-one basis, perhaps to discuss an essay plan or to seek some specific academic guidance.
It is the nature of the subjects offered in the School of Arts and Humanities, however, that much of your time will be spent engaged in independent study. We recognise that this marks a change of culture from school or college, and we have in place a system of study support to help you adapt to this.
This is a major part of the curriculum. Key transferable skills are emphasised and there are opportunities to develop links with organisations and potential employers. As a result we have an outstanding record of graduate employment.
Joint honours courses develop a wide range of skills. These include:
Graduates have gone on to forge successful careers both within large, well known organisations (such as Marks and Spencer, BBC etc.) and the small to medium sized companies that constitute much of the UK economy. Recent graduate roles have included:
Some graduates choose to progress to further study, either to continue their research within Philosophy or International Relations.
You can opt to take a work placement module in the second half of your second year. Placements will be short and intensive and include an academic assessment or project as part of your degree. The School's Employability Coordinator and placement tutors help source and secure placements relevant to your course or preferred joint honours subject.
You will also have the option to do take part in an international exchange at a partner university. Or you could source work placements abroad. These options will enable you to:
You will need:

International and EU students also need to meet the English language requirements. Also see the full list of alternative qualifications for EU and international students.

Celeb chef Curtis Stone doesn't like to play the bad guy on TV
Published on Mar 13, 2013 4:30 PM
Australian TV chef Curtis Stone does not have to play bad cop, for once, on his new show Around The World In 80 Plates.
On the new reality cooking competition, which airs here on TLC (StarHub Channel 427) on Wednesdays, 12 chefs travel the world while facing various kitchen challenges, then vote one another off.
Stone, 37, one of two hosts, says with a chuckle: "I don't have to give the bad news."
"In other shows that I've been a part of, when I have to make the decision and tell the contestant, 'I'm sorry but your food wasn't the best today', I'm sure all they are thinking is, 'I hate that Curtis Stone'," he adds.

News unspun to the play of puns. Adding humour to rumour. A current affairs crescendo of creative innuendo.
Earlier today, the Jewish Chronicle featured a story about Israeli anger towards the alternative rock band Cold Play:
After posting this article on my fan page, a Word Play friend pointed out the following:
"Remember to include the link, the JC has deliberately not included! Currently the Israelis are waging a campaign against it; almost twice as many dislikes as likes. With enough effort that can easily be turned around.
It's a powerful video, with shining faces, uplifting voices, and infectious catchiness. And easy enough for anyone to understand!"
I'm now about to hit 'like' on the One World fan page.
Oh, and here's the video. Join 'One World' to spread the word of 'Freedom for Palestine.'
Hopefully all arabs will have freedoms for their brutal leaders. They must demand it from Muslim leaders as much as from Jews or else their actions are hypocritical.
Selective political leanings……Supporting arab terrorist murderers. No clue of fact. No idea of Jewish history, all those thousands of years in the Land of Israel. Ignoring the fact that "Palestine" never existed EVER. Ignoring the fact that "Palestinians" are a fraud who have no separate culture, language etc from the rest of the nomads and bedouins and other arabs in the area. I'd say this silly ditty is futile, naieve and Coldplay have ruined their own reputation by supporting this….Not that they had one in my mind anyway with their "dad" music and stealing of other artists ideas. Good luch Coldplay….Chris Martin you have out done yourself son…..Mazel tov
Coldplay show their total ignorance of the situation in the ME. There is no such race as the "Palestinian People". Until 1948 the term applied to the Jews only. Then Arab tactics changed. King Hussein explained why at the Arab League summit in Amman in November 1988: "The appearance of a distinct Palestinian national personality comes as an answer to Israel's claim that Palestine is Jewish." In so many words, said the Hashemite monarch, the Palestinian identity is an artificial propaganda ploy. The Pals are merely Arab immigrants into Israel who harbour a visceral hatred of the Jews and will never make peace with them because their only desire is the destruction of the Jewish state of Israel. By contrast, the Jews have lived there since c1500BC (albeit, a lot of them were exiled in AD70 by the Romans) when they were led into the land by Joshua after being freed from Egyptian slavery. This song bangs on about about the security barrier! One hast to ask, why was it built in the first place? Answer, To stop years of Arab suicide bombers, you morons!!!! And why doesn't the this Coldplay bit of sentimental dribble, mention the 1000′s of rockets and mortars fired at Israeli civilians from the Gaza strip in recent years which eventually led to the operation Cast Lead. When the brave HAMAS fighters hid behind women and children for protection, so that Israel's IDF would not shoot at them. Coldplay, your song is sentimental garbage based on lying Arab propaganda. Your support for terrorist like HAMAS and Fatah is sickening – there is no difference between them, they both want to see the end of the Jewish state, only their methods differ. HAMAS use bombs and rockets, Fatah does the politics with Obama, the Pope, the UN, Jimmy Carter and anyone else who is stupid enough to listen to their lies – like Coldplay!!! All used as useful idiots in their quest to destroy the one tiny Jewish state in the midst of 22 brutal, oppressive Arab dictatorships. Hang your head in shame, Chris
Good gosh there are some very fundementalist Zionists here.
Hmmmm very anti Palestinian comments
People in the 21st century now want ethical brands. Many household names built their brand name at the dawn of the 20th century
Let the 21st century see new ethical developments and let it be a dawn for newer more dynamic ethical brands
Yet money is the root cause to why the Middle Crisis is continuing, oppressive regimes such as Israel, are having their genocidal ways assisted and funded by unethical organisations/brands.
Boycott organisations/companies that support Israeli genocide and oppression of innocent Palestinians…These unethical companies include,
• Nestle,
• Coca Cola,
• McDonald's
• Starbucks
• Marks & Spencer
• Selfridges
• And others…
Peace and love to all human beings.
There is much confusion and lies spread about Muslims and Islam…
If you wish to know more about Muslims and Islam, go to
Inspired By Muhammad Dot Com
The oppressive dictatorships in the Middle East are actually U.S funded dictators put into place to ensure that US hegemony and Imperialism…i.e. McDonald's and Starbuck etc (and the MAIN issue of tightening the grip on natural resource interests…OIL!) is kept in place. Any uprising by for social justice is threatened by U.S sanctions and military action (from the many US aircraft carriers across the Muslim and Arab world).
The Arab Spring and pursuit for freedom (Islam also encourages freedom) is rightly what Arab citizens desire and what they deserve, especially as they lived for decades under rulers loyal to foreign imperialist forces.
Just as Britain had its Oliver Cromwell inspired revolution, the Arab world is having its "Cromwell moment."
The Jewish people have been subject to abuse and hatred in Europe for centuries, Jews were given full protection in Muslim lands throughout history. I for one never want to see a Holocaust of human beings ever happen again, this also includes the holocaust of innocent Bosnian Muslim in Srebrenica (1995). As well as those countless innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Pakistan who have been killed by U.S bombings and drone attacks.
But why are Palestinians paying for the crimes of Germany and Europe during WWII?
If a Russian Jew (who has no history in Palestine, who's entire family history is in Europe) can go to Israel and be given Palestinian land and settler status…Why can't a Palestinian in forced exile, whose family has been in Palestine for 1000's years, return to Palestine???
No matter how slick the Israeli PR machine tries to be, they still cannot hide the fact that…With regards to Palestine…
Over 64+ UN resolutions have been broken by Israel
Israel's use of illegal weapons such as phosphorus (which is banned under international law) on innocent Palestinians, has killed 1000's of innocent Palestinian men, women, children and babies
Countless acts of aggression and human rights abuses committed by Israel on the Palestinian people
Stealing of Palestinians farming produce by Israel
Israel's use of Palestinian children in child labour, in farming fruit and vegetables, in growing and collecting dates.
Bulldozing Palestinian family homes
Killing westerners who are peace activists
Denying the Palestinian people clean drinking water, food, medical help, electricity, and essential home building materials.
Denying Palestinians their basic human rights
These are not lies.
In the interest of free speech and dialogue this is a song about protesting against tyranny, and demanding under international law, full human rights, and full civil rights for Palestinians.
First of all Germany and Europe did commit war crimes against Jews during WWII, but why are Arabs paying for the crimes of Germany and Europe?
Israel denies Palestinians water, food, work, medicine, building materials, civil liberties, human rights, freedom, bulldoze their homes, taking their land, crops, wealth, gold, creating false propaganda against Palestinians, sticking them in ghettos called Gaza and the West Bank, and having settlers (invaders) and Israeli soldiers (cowards) shoot innocent Palestinians men, women, children and babies in the head…Same as what the Nazis did to the Jews in WWII. The Jews are doing the same to Palestinians now…Israel = Fascist state.
Lets us also look at why people, including Coldplay are waking up to Israel's crimes…
• Arabs cannot buy property from Jews in Israel
• Arab Children are used as slave labour in Israel – LOOK AT CARMEL AGREXCO AND OTHER Israeli corporations.
• Arabs do not have workers rights in Israel – LOOK AT CARMEL AGREXCO
• Israel FORCES Arab children to be human shields for Israeli troops.
• Israel STEALS the organs of innocent Arabs – After they shoot them.
• Those organs are given to Jews who need organ transplants in Israeli hospitals
• Israel STEALS the identities of innocent British and Irish nationals
• Israel STEALS Palestinian farming land and farming produce
• We all remember the stealing of British and Irish passport identities by Israel to commit murder on foreign land.
• Israel did this once before in the 1980's
• Israel LIED to Britain, and said they would never do it again, but they did.
• Israel ALSO oppresses and kills Palestinian Christians…I wonder what Christians in America and Europe have to say about this???
• Israel has the MOST WMD's in the Middle East.
• Israel DENIES Palestinians Human Rights
• Israel DENIES Palestinians Civil Rights
• Israel DENIES Palestinians Jobs
• Israel DENIES Palestinians water
• Israel DENIES Palestinians food
• Israel DENIES Palestinians medical treatment
• Israel DENIES Palestinians medicine
• Israel DENIES Palestinian women of the care of Midwifes and Doctors – Many Palestinian women are forces to wait at checkpoints with no Doctors or Midwifes present whilst giving birth.
• Israel poisons the little Palestinian farming land that is used to grow crops.
• Israel DENIES Palestinians building materials
• Israel DESTROYS Palestinian schools
• Israel DENIES Palestinians schooling (many Palestinian kids have their schooling disrupted by by waiting at overly inhumane Israeli checkpoints)
• Israeli settlers steal Palestinian land
• Israeli settlers are armed and use innocent Palestinian men, women, children and babies as target practice.
• Israeli settlers also fire rockets at Palestinians.
• Israeli setters have burnt Palestinian Mosques and Palestinian Churches
Zionism was founded by Theodore Hertzl…NOT Abraham, Moses, Jesus or Muhammad (peace be upon them)
The true teachings of Judaism is being pushed away by fundamentalist Zionists who do not adhere to the teachings of Judaism, but wish to serve their own gain, even if it means doing so by force, and at the detriment of innocent Palestinian people.
Zionism = Racism
It's one rule for those citizens who are Jewish, and no rights and discrimination for all who are considered "Goyims".
Jews, Muslims and Christians used to live in peace in Palestine and Jerusalem
Jews and Muslims used to live and work together, even babysit each other's kids before 1947
Judaism teaches that Jews are not to have their own nation until the Messiah (Jesus Christ – Peace be upon him) returns.
Jews and Muslims are actually genetic cousins. Males from both religions have beards, caps, and both Muslim and Jewish men are circumcised. Jewish women and Muslim women also cover up and wear headscarves.
Arabic and Hebrew are Sister Languages, both share very similar phonetic sounds and pronunciations.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all interlinked. All faiths share the same teachings i.e. One God, The Ten Commandments, share teachings of the prophets (peace be upon them), and have lots in common.
Jews, Muslims, and Christians share names,
• Aaron – Harun,
• Richard – Rashid,
• Daniel – Danyal,
• John – Yahya
• Zackary – Zackariya – Zakria and Zakir
• Sara – Sarah – Sahra
• Zara – Zarah – Zahra
• Ben (Jewish for son of) – Bin (Muslim for son of) – Bint (Muslim for daughter of)
• And many many more names…
With all the hatred from Zionists aimed at Muslim Palestinians and Christian Palestinians, we must remind ourselves of the fact that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was actually mentioned in the Torah, thousands of years before the Quran.
Song of Solomon 5:16
חִכֹּו֙ מַֽמְתַקִּ֔ים וְכֻלֹּ֖ו מַחֲמַדִּ֑ים זֶ֤ה דֹודִי֙ וְזֶ֣ה רֵעִ֔י בְּנֹ֖ות יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
"Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem."
5:16 "His mouth is most sweet: yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem."
Zionist Israel can TRY to use Public Relations and TRY to hide its lies, looting, rape, killing, fraud, mass genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank
The world is waking up to Israel's lies and cheating Palestinians of their human rights and civil rights.
Palestinians are now like black people were in South Africa – Under international law Palestinians need to be given their human rights and civil rights, as well as the right to return, like South Africa, were black people and white people live together now, a "one state solution" is key in healing rifts between Muslim and Jews.
We have to remember that Muslims did not tear down King Solomon's Temple, it was the Romans, surely then Israel should ask Italy for compensation? (this is parallel to asking Germany for compensation for war crimes during WWII)
Just as people shouted "FREE SOUTH AFRICA!"
Let us say to all peace loving people of the world (in the USA, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia, Australia, Latin America)…FREE PALESTINE!
People in the 21st century now want ethical brands. Many household names built their brand name at the dawn of the 20th century
Let the 21st century see new ethical developments and let it be a dawn for newer more dynamic ethical brands
Yet money is the root cause to why the Middle East Crisis is continuing, oppressive regimes such as Israel, are having their genocidal ways assisted and funded by unethical organisations/brands.
Boycott organisations/companies that support Israeli genocide and oppression of innocent Palestinians…These unethical companies include,
• Nestle,
• Coca Cola,

Frank Edwards (August 4, 1908 – June 23, 1967) was an American writer and broadcaster, and one of the pioneers in radio. Late in his life, he became well known for a series of popular books about UFOs and other paranormal phenomena.
Frank Edwards was born in Mattoon, Illinois, Edwards broadcast on pioneering radio station KDKA AM in the 1920s, making him one of the earliest professional radio broadcasters.
During the 1930s, Edwards continued his career in radio, but also worked a variety of other jobs, including a stint as a professional golfer. He was hired by the US Treasury Department during World War II to promote war bond sales.
After WWII, the Mutual Broadcasting System hired Edwards to host a nationwide news and opinion program sponsored by the American Federation of Labor. Edwards' program was a success, and became nationally popular.
In 1948, Edwards received an advance copy of "Flying Saucers Are Real," a magazine article written by retired U.S. Marine Corps. Major Donald E. Keyhoe. Though already interested in the UFO reports that had earned widespread publicity since 1947, Edwards was captivated by Keyhoe's claims that the U.S. military knew the saucers were actually extraterrestrial spaceships.
Edwards began mentioning UFOs on his radio program, and wrote several books on the subject.
He was dismissed from the radio program in 1954, for reasons that remain uncertain. His interest in UFOs was believed to be a factor,[1] but Edwards's editor and friend Rory Stuart[2] wrote, "[AFL President] George Meany insisted that Frank Edwards not mention any [competing labor union] CIO labor leaders on his program. He flatly refused and was fired." In spite of thousands of letters in protest of his dismissal, Edwards was not reinstated.
After his dismissal from Mutual, Edwards continued working in radio, mostly at smaller local stations. He created and hosted a syndicated radio program, Stranger Than Science, which discussed UFOs and other Forteana. In 1959, he published a book with the same title, largely a collection of his radio broadcasts.
From 1955 to 1959 and from 1961 to 1962, Edwards served as a commentator for WTTV television in Indianapolis. He was on radio station WXLW, also in Indianapolis, in 1964 and returned to television on WLWI in 1965.[3] His book "Strange People" recalls a television interview that was videotaped on October 3, 1961 with psychic Peter Hurkos.[4] It is not known if any of these programs survive. During his time at WTTV, his program was the subject of experiments in subliminal advertising during 1958. The movie preceding his show contained the subliminal message "Watch Frank Edwards" inserted along with similar messages for bacon. Neither was a success in changing viewer habits. It is unknown if Edwards knew of the experiments.[5]
Edwards made an appearance on the Johnny Carson-era Tonight Show, in October, 1966.[6] The episode was guest-hosted by singers Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme. Although Carson saved videos of the show past 1969, this episode is presumed lost. On that telecast, Gorme made references to the fact that she enjoyed various science-fiction shows, like Star Trek and Time Tunnel, and Edwards made various references to experts' sightings of UFOs to promote his then-current book, "Flying Saucers--Serious Business!"
It is one of the myths of ufology that Edwards died on June 24, 1967, exactly 20 years after Kenneth Arnold's famous first "flying saucer" sighting. In fact, Edwards had died a few minutes before midnight on June 23, but his death was announced at the Congress of Scientific Ufologists in New York City on June 24, 1967.
The books written by Frank Edwards include:

Extract and Explore an iOS App in Mac OS X
You can find some interesting things in iOS apps that you've downloaded, all you need to do is extract the file from its container and then you're free to browse around like any other application package. Here is how to do this:
Extract and explore contents of iOS apps within Mac OS X
We'll use iBooks.app as an example:
- Launch iTunes and click on "Apps"
- Select the app you want to extract and right-click on it, select "Show in Finder"
- You'll see an .ipa file in the Finder, make a copy of that file to the desktop by holding down Option and dragging it there
- Rename the .ipa file extension to .zip (in this case, iBooks.ipa to iBooks.zip), ignore the warning and click to confirm the .zip extension
- Now double-click on the .zip file to extract it's contents, it will open like any standard archive
- Open the newly extracted directory and open "Payload" within that
- Right-click on the app name (iBooks.app) and select "Show Package Contents"
- Explore the contents of the iOS app, it'll look like the screenshot at the very top of this post showing AngryBirds Lite
You can find a lot of interesting stuff in these iOS apps and the process is the same regardless of an app being for iPhone or iPad, so have fun. Just be sure to make a backup so you don't mess up the app, although you can always redownload it if you do.

Music Review: The Ringling Festival: Brooklyn Rider and Piano Foursome
Date: October 26, 2011
by: June LeBell | Contributing Writer
I've come to a conclusion. There are three important ingredients that can make or break a performance: personal touch, personality and program. These three "P's" have become essential to today's successful concerts, recitals and even operas. And all three of them were present, in heaping portions, when we recently attended two of the Ringling International Arts Festival events.
Brooklyn Rider, a string quartet of smart, talented young men — violinists Johnny Gandelsman and Colin Jacobsen, violist Nicholas Cords and cellist Eric Jacobsen — has found a special niche in the world of music. They speak and perform interactively. (That's the personal touch.) They each have their own style reflected in what they wear and how they play (personality). And they program their concerts so we're entertained and enlightened while they mix the old with the new, the refined with the bristly.
They began with a new work by Jacobsen, called, "Beloved, Do Not Let Me Be Discouraged." Starting with a moving duet between violin and viola, it was one of the most achingly beautiful, mesmerizing pieces to pass between my ears in years. Folk-like and modal, it was a Middle-Eastern folk song with an Appalachian twist. The only discouraging thing about it was that it was too short.
Next came Beethoven — late Beethoven. And that means Ludwig was already deaf and struggling with all those crazy sounds running around in his head. The C sharp minor quartet, Opus 131, is jarring, dissonant and, for the most part, unpleasant but fascinating. The guys from Brooklyn, N.Y., put him in his place and gave us a performance filled with color and character, something stylistically different from most other performances, but one that left us with something to ponder.
Finally, the quartet gave us a pair of gypsy songs that sounded like a "Rumanian Rhapsody" by Enescu turned inside-out. They were neither Enescu nor inside-out but they were toe-tapping, tambourine-slapping, dancing, sexy fun with the atmospheric cello's ground-bass slithering and slapping beneath some incredibly virtuosic turns in the upper strings.
A few hours later, we returned to the Historic Asolo for the fearless, formidable Piano Foursome: Inon Barbatan, Adam Golka, Anne-Marie McDermott and Pedja Muzijevic. Again, the important trio of "P's" were present. Muzijevic took the role of emcee, introducing each pianist and piece with scholarly entertainment. The idea was for each artist to perform individually and then for them all to come together for a grand finale of 40 flying fingers on the four Yamaha grands.
Golka's performance of Chopin's "Barcarolle" was deliciously lilting with textured harmonies and dynamics that were enhanced by his beautiful phrasing. Muzijevic took a turn with a trio of short pieces — Liszt's "Sleepless! Question and Answer," a linear, almost Scriabin-sounding work the pianist pulled off with finesse; Feldman's "Intermission," a pointillistic piece plummeting huge schisms and leaps; and Aleksander Michalowski's wonderfully fun "Paraphrase on Chopin's Valse" (aka "Minute Waltz") performed with a lightness and humor that made the paraphrase's flourishes sound easy.
The grand finale featured all four piano personalities giving us quadraphonic Czerny (Opus 230, if you're counting), and tossing out bits and pieces of melodies from Mozart to Liszt in a trilling, thrilling 23-minute crowd-pleaser that added "powerful" to the other "P's."

Purcey and McGowan are not promising at all, and others outside the organization might think they are, so they are good bait to use before they have no value at all. Then if you get rid of Hinske and Towers's contracts to boot, while only giving up nothings like McGowan and Purcey, and getting a much better middle infielder then Adams, you have done quite well.

180: Canada
Canada |
Title text: IT'S ALL REAL! |
[edit] Explanation
Canada is the country north of the USA. During political seasons, it's often claimed by partisan voters that if their side loses, they'll move. For Americans, this often comes to claims of moving to Canada.
The punchline references the tagline "If you die in the game, you die in real life," from the 2006 horror movie Stay Alive (released a few months before this comic), where people die in real life soon after their characters are killed in a certain video game. The irony here is that, since Canada is arguably part of reality already[citation needed], Cueball's friend is just really bad at thinking through his plans.
[edit] Transcript
- [Two men stand talking to each other.]
- Cueball: If we lose this election, I'm moving to Canada.
- Friend: You say that every year.
- Cueball: I mean it this time.
- Friend: Well, becoming a citizen takes work. Meanwhile, you have no money, half an art degree, and it's the start of winter. You'll freeze to death in the streets.
- Cueball: Whatever.
- [Friend raises his hands.]
- Friend: No, don't you get it? If you die in Canada, you die in REAL LIFE!
[edit] Trivia
- According to Randall's blag, a team named "If You Die in Canada, You Die in Real Life" entered the 2007 MIT BattleCode programming competition. They won the "Best Team Name" award.
Actually I suspect this comic may be referring to the propensity for video games in which you can create teams of characters which can be generally be respawned or come back to consciousness/life after levels/battles to have areas or levels where if someone is killed they die "for real"- that is they don't come back and you lose them for good. 18.104.22.168 10:58, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Couldn't this be a Matrix reference? 06:11, 1 December 2013 (UTC) 220.127.116.11 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
From the explanation: "Canada is arguably part of reality already." I would love to have that argument with someone. 184.108.40.206 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Well, this was more of an adventure than we expected. We somehow didn't see the truck in its location when we walked by, so we ended up exploring every inch of the property. Somehow, we managed to loop back to the correct spot and then make the find. The container and log has seen better days, but it is still serviceable.

Alabama Shakes are one of the most anticipated bands of 2012. A proper rock 'n' roll band with added flavours of gospel, soul and blues, their debut album Boys & Girls is released in March through Rough Trade Records and is sure to win them the amount of fans a band this good deserves.
Named as one of the best bands of CMJ last year, 2012 looks to be an exciting one for this Alabama-based four piece, with lead vocalist Brittany Howard having a delicate and powerful voice in equal measure, occasionally cracking much like Caleb Followill's and at other times blowing your socks off.
Here's Hold On. Take a listen, you'll find it pretty fucking hard not to nod your head along to it.

Couples enjoy date night at the carnival
Feb. 18, 2011 at 5 p.m.
Updated Feb. 17, 2011 at 8:18 p.m.
IF YOU GOWHAT: Victoria Livestock Show Carnival
WHERE: Victoria Community Center, 2905 E. North St.
WHEN: Through Feb. 27 - 5 p.m. to 11 p.m Monday through Thursday; 5 p.m. to midnight Friday; noon to 11 p.m. Sunday
In matching Victoria West letter jackets, Joshua Morgan and Taylor McCrary completed lap three, hand-in-hand, around the Victoria carnival Thursday night.
A tiny stuffed dog peeked out of Taylor's jacket pocket - a $10 token of Joshua's love, or more appropriately, a couple's new inside joke of being swindled at the carnival.
"They didn't make it clear how much I was spending. Apparently that was their large prize," Joshua said with a laugh.
Despite the gift's modesty, Taylor said she appreciated the thought, which is particularly appropriate given the couple met after Joshua's dog ate through Taylor's fence.
"I'll probably put it on my shelf and say, "Hey, I remember that," the sophomore said.
"And I'll remember the mumbling (worker) who sold me a $10 dog," Joshua, a senior, joked.
It was the first night of the carnival, and among families and funnel cakes were several couples strolling through the Victoria Community Center grounds.
The carnival, with its free entry, could be a cheap date, or the festivities could prove to be a wallet breaker.
Paul Garcia, 17, said this was one of the more expensive dates he's taken his girlfriend of just more than a year.
He, too, got encouraged into popping balloons for a $10 stuffed bunny, which his girlfriend, Veronica Martinez, 13, held under her arm.
Despite the apparent "rip-off," Paul took the romance a step further, buying Veronica an airbrushed shirt that said "Baby."
The couple said they attended last year's carnival with friends, but that spending this year with each other was more fun.
"She just makes me laugh," Paul said.
Joshua also remembered attending past carnivals with friends, who could become annoying, unlike his girlfriend of eight months, he said.
"Obviously, I have to try harder then," Taylor teased.
Both couples said the carnival was a welcomed alternative to their usual dates to the movie theater.
"It's nice to do something different," Taylor said. "There's not much to do in Victoria."
And despite the roaring rides around them, the couple said they were content just walking around.
"The most intense thing I'll ride is the Ferris wheel," Taylor said.
Joshua wasn't about to pressure her.
"I like rides, but I don't trust carnival rides," he said. "There's something about a ride that's folded up like a tent."
