Spain, non-stop nightlife
Spain is synonymous with fun, high spirits, great weather, and above all, a fantastic nightlife. You'll soon find that specially in large cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao and Granada, and in areas such as the island of Ibiza, the Costa del Sol and Benidorm to name just a few, there's a whole host of restaurants, bars, concert venues, pubs and clubs that guarantee you a night to remember, and which will go on until dawn and beyond. Going out for tapas in a string of different bars, getting to know the open and friendly temperament of the Spaniards, dancing to the beat of top international DJs, partying on in an after-hours club... there are numerous different options to choose from, which is what makes Spain's nightlife so incredibly special. Come and discover them.
A unique atmosphere: a whole night awaits
It's very common in Spain to see gatherings of people enjoying a drink and chatting and laughing together in the bars from about 10 in the evening, and then on until the small hours of the morning. Not only that, but thanks to the mild temperatures, in spring and summer almost all the venues have an outdoor terrace where customers can sit outside and enjoy their drinks. The most popular days for going out are Fridays and Saturdays.
Going out for tapas
This is definitely one of the Spanish customs you'll love most. And that's because going out for tapas doesn't only mean going from bar to bar having a caña (a small glass of beer) and various portions of typical dishes. It is also a great way of discovering a multitude of bars with a great atmosphere, full of people having fun, and of taking part in what is really a whole way of life. Try asking for a chato (a squat glass of wine), a sangria, a tinto de verano (literally "summer red wine", or wine diluted with fizzy lemonade), a pulga (mini-sandwich)… After doing the rounds of the tapas bars, you'll feel in perfect shape for going dancing.
Something for everybody
Looking for live music? Why not check out one of the many concert venues, where you'll be able to hear all kinds of music, from singer-songwriters through to rock, jazz… or pop into any of the popular flamenco clubs to be found particularly in the area of Andalusia. And when it comes to dancing, whatever your age of preferences you're guaranteed to find a place to suit you: alternative style, with rock music, punk and indie; other trendier places where you can wear your coolest gear; electronic music to dance till you drop; or a more relaxed atmosphere ideal for quiet conversation... You'll also find different neighbourhoods in some of the larger cities so you can opt for an atmosphere to suit your mood.
Top clubs
Nowhere else in the world will you find clubs as famous as those that await you in areas of Spain such as Ibiza. Thousands of tourists flock to our country to discover the legendary nights on offer on this island. The party begins by day with the street parades announcing the evening's attractions in the clubs that night. Then, unbridled fun and wild partying with go-go dancers, celebrities, a swimming pool inside an enormous club, foam parties... anything's possible.
Who said stop?
The night never ends. Although some venues close before three in the morning, discos are allowed to remain open until the sun comes up. And if you still feel like partying after that, in cities like Madrid, Barcelona and Ibiza you'll find clubs which open in the early hours of the morning so you can carry on having fun.
A sweet breakfast to top it all off
If you're somebody who feels a little peckish after a night out on the town, why not try the Spanish custom of enjoying a delicious cup of hot chocolate with churros (hot fritters) sprinkled with sugar while you watch the sun come up. You'll love it!
University cities
If you can't wait until Friday to go out, then Spain is also the place for you. And that's because, mainly in university cities like Salamanca, Santiago de Compostela and Granada, people very often meet to go out on Thursdays. The presence of students guarantees you'll always find a lively atmosphere in these towns.
Stag and hen nights, group trips…
Did you know that there are a multitude of companies in Spain which can organise an unforgettable stag or hen night? You won't have to worry about the flight, the destination or the disco. All you'll have to think about is having a great time.
International festivities
Many of Spain's fiestas attract thousands of people, all intent on having a good time, and these are the best times of all to guarantee a great party atmosphere. February is carnival time in Cadiz and Tenerife, when the cities are filled with a multitude of spectacular costumes. In March the Fallas (bonfire night) in Valencia offer the sight of colossal castles of fire. In July, you can see the typical bull-running through the streets of Pamplona in the fiestas of San Fermín. August is the time of the fiesta of the Tomatina (tomato fight) in Buñol (Valencia)... There's plenty to choose from.
Festivals and major events
All year round in Spain you'll find there are a whole host of music, theatre and film festivals on offer, as well as a wide range of major events which guarantee a great night's entertainment. These include options to suit every possible taste –everything from world renowned massively-attended occasions, through to others which are less well-known but particularly popular and entertaining. You can find out which of these events will be on during your stay in Spain by using the events search engine by date and destination.
Gay scene
Freedom, respect and tolerance are among Spain's hallmarks, and that's why the country has become one of the number one destinations on the gay circuit, and where a great time is guaranteed. Some of the most popular spots are places such as Maspalomas, in Gran Canaria, and Sitges, on the Costa Brava. It is also quite common to find neighbourhoods in large cities which are particularly known for their numerous gay venues, as is the case of El Eixample, in Barcelona, or Chueca, in Madrid. This last neighbourhood is especially festive during the Gay Pride parade, which attracts thousands of people every year.
Fiesta junto al mar
¿Te imaginas pasar la noche disfrutando de la música junto al mar? Lo podrás hacer en muchas localidades de España. Destacan los litorales de Cataluña, la Comunidad Valenciana y Andalucía, en los que hay bares a pie de playa. Por ejemplo, son conocidas las noches de San Juan (a finales de junio), especialmente en Alicante; o algunas fiestas populares como la que se organiza en Cádiz en agosto con motivo del torneo de fútbol de la ciudad y que congrega a miles de personas en la playa para disfrutar de una barbacoa.
Como ves, en España encontrarás mil excusas para no ir a la cama y vivir la noche del modo más divertido posible. Para que todo sean comodidades, a continuación te damos algunos consejos.
Consejos prácticos
- En la mayoría de las grandes ciudades hay servicios nocturnos de autobuses que suelen funcionar de doce de la noche a seis de la mañana.
- Aunque muchas discotecas abren sus puertas hasta al amanecer, hay locales, sobre todo aquellos que se sitúan en una zona residencial, que cierran entre la una y las tres de la mañana.
- El acceso a discotecas y locales de noche sólo está permitido a mayores de 18 años.
- La venta de bebidas alcohólicas sólo está permitida a mayores de 18 años.- La entrada a un local o discoteca puede estar restringida a cierto código de vestuario o dress code.
- No está permitido el consumo de bebidas alcohólicas al aire libre salvo en las terrazas de los locales habilitados para ello.
- Las playas pueden tener restricciones nocturnas referidas a ruidos, baños, accesos, etc, que dependen de cada localidad.

2010-11 school levy is $27.8 million
With the final numbers now calculated in Madison, the Hudson School District budget and tax levy for 2010-11 is final. The numbers will stay the same as approved at the district's annual meeting in September.
The 2010-11 levy of $27,828,892 is the same amount levied last year. However, the district property valuation dropped by almost 8 percent which caused the mill rate to rise by more than 8 percent from $7.67 last year to $8.31 per $1,000 of property value for 2010-11.

Strikers missing again at Posh
Sodje has missed the first two games of the season with a groin injury and Clarke has yet to appear due to a hamstring strain, but manager Brian Laws has several options. Winger Jermaine Johnson played in a central role alongside Marcus Tudgay in Tuesday night's Carling Cup win over Rochdale and followed up his goal on the opening day with two more, so Laws must decide whether to stick with that pairing or recall Francis Jeffers to his starting line-up. Etienne Esajas made his first appearance on the wing in midweek and responded with a superb volley to open the scoring and stake his claim for another start. Defenders Frank Simek, Mark Beevers and Richard Hinds also made their first appearances against Rochdale and will give Laws more selection headaches ahead of the trip to London Road.

American Football League (1960–1969)
National Football League (1970–present)
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league composed of 32 teams divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The highest professional level of the sport in the world, the NFL runs a 17-week regular season from the week after Labor Day to the week after Christmas, with each team playing sixteen games and having one bye week. Out of the league's 32 teams, six (four division winners and two wild-card teams) from each conference compete in the NFL playoffs, a single-elimination tournament culminating in the Super Bowl, played between the champions of the NFC and AFC. The champions of the Super Bowl are awarded the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Various other awards exist to recognize individual players and coaches. Most games are played on Sunday afternoons; some games are also played on Mondays and Thursdays during the regular season. There are games on Saturdays during the last few weeks of the regular season and the first two playoff weekends.
The NFL was formed on August 20, 1920, as the American Professional Football Conference; the league changed its name to the American Professional Football Association (APFA) on September 17, 1920, and changed its name to the National Football League on June 24, 1922, after spending the 1920 and 1921 seasons as the APFA. In 1966, the NFL agreed to merge with the rival American Football League (AFL), effective 1970; the first Super Bowl was held at the end of that same season in January 1967. Today, the NFL has the highest average attendance (67,591) of any professional sports league in the world and is the most popular sports league in the United States. The Super Bowl is among the biggest club sporting events in the world and individual Super Bowl games account for many of the most-watched programs in American history. At the corporate level, the NFL is a nonprofit 501(c)(6) association. The NFL's executive officer is the commissioner, who has broad authority in governing the league.
Military brat is an English-language colloquial or military slang term used in several countries to describe the children and teenagers of active-duty military personnel. It also describes the unique subcultures associated with these populations. It is also a recognized term of cultural identity. The term denotes childhood and/or adolescent immersion in military culture to the point where the mainstream culture of one's home country may seem foreign or peripheral. In a number of countries (but not all) where there are military brat subcultures, the term also references a lifestyle of high mobility, as the child's family follows the soldier-parent great distances from one non-combat assignment after another during most or at least a significant portion of one's growing up years. For highly mobile military brat populations, a complex 'mixed' cultural identity often results, due to the resulting exposure to numerous national or regional cultures while growing up.
Within military culture, the term "military brat" is not considered to be an insult, but rather connotes affection and respect.
KC leads 2–1
AFL Championships (4)
Gunther Cunningham (born June 19, 1946) is an American football defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions. Cunningham has presided over some of the most successful defenses in NFL history (1995 & 1997), typically ranking at the top of the league in many statistical categories.
Cunningham was born in 1946 in war-torn Munich, Germany to an American serviceman and a German mother before moving to the United States at age ten. He attended the University of Oregon, where he played linebacker and placekicker before embarking on a coaching career that has now spanned almost forty years. In 1995, Cunningham was hired by the Chiefs as the defensive coordinator after spending the previous four seasons as a coach with the Los Angeles Raiders.

I first noticed the attitude of Finance Minister MA Muhit regarding the control of Bangladesh Bank over the other state owned banks when he arrogantly rejected BB to inquire into Hall Mark scam of Sonali Bank. He said that it is the Ministry of Finance that will look into the matter, not the Bangladesh Bank.
Muhit now slammed again BB's proposal to have greater control over the state owned banks.[1][2]
The controversy creates storm.[1]
It is assumed that one of the main reasons for corruption in the banking sector is the poor control of BB over the state owned banks.

Roger Bacon, O.F.M. (c. 1214–1294) (scholastic accolade Doctor Mirabilis, meaning "wonderful teacher"), was an English philosopher and Franciscan friar who placed considerable emphasis on the study of nature through empirical methods. He is sometimes credited, mainly starting in the 19th century, as one of the earliest European advocates of the modern scientific method inspired by the works of Aristotle and later Arabic works, such as the works of Muslim scientist Alhazen.[2] However, more recent reevaluations emphasize that he was essentially a medieval thinker, with much of his "experimental" knowledge obtained from books, in the scholastic tradition.[3] A survey of the reception of Bacon's work over centuries found that it often reflects the concerns and controversies central to the receivers.[4]

Roger Bacon was born in Ilchester in Somerset, England, possibly in 1213 or 1214 at the Ilchester Friary.[5] The only source for his date of birth is his statement in the Opus Tertium, written in 1267, that "forty years have passed since I first learned the alphabet". The 1214 birth date assumes he was not being literal, and may have meant 40 years had passed since he matriculated at Oxford at the age of 13. If he had been literal, his birth date was more likely to have been around 1220/1222. In the same passage he reports that for all but two of those forty years he had always been engaged in study.[6] His family appears to have been well-off, but, during the stormy reign of Henry III of England, their property was despoiled and several members of the family were driven into exile.
Bacon studied at Oxford and may have been a disciple of Grosseteste. He became a master at Oxford, lecturing on Aristotle. There is no evidence he was ever awarded a doctorate — the title Doctor Mirabilis was posthumous and figurative. Sometime between 1237 and 1245, he began to lecture at the university of Paris, then the centre of intellectual life in Europe. His whereabouts between 1247 and 1256 is uncertain, but about 1256 he became a friar in the Franciscan Order. As a Franciscan friar, Bacon no longer held a teaching post, and after 1260 his activities were further restricted by a Franciscan statute prohibiting friars from publishing books or pamphlets without specific approval.[7]
Bacon circumvented this restriction through his acquaintance with Cardinal Guy le Gros de Foulques, who became Pope Clement IV in 1265. The new pope issued a mandate ordering Bacon to write to him concerning the place of philosophy within theology. As a result Bacon sent the Pope his Opus Majus, which presented his views on how the philosophy of Aristotle and the new science could be incorporated into a new Theology. Besides the Opus maius Bacon also sent his Opus minus, De multiplicatione specierum, and, perhaps, other works on alchemy and astrology.[8]
Pope Clement died in 1268. Sometime between 1277 and 1279, Bacon was probably imprisoned or placed under house arrest. The circumstances for this are still mysterious. Sometime after 1278 Bacon returned to the Franciscan House at Oxford, where he continued his studies.[9] He is believed to have died in 1294.
In the 19th century it was a widely held interpretation that Bacon was a modern experimental scientist who emerged before his time. This reflected two prevalent views of the period: an emphasis upon experiment as the principal form of scientific activity and a general acceptance of the characterization of the Middle Ages as the "Dark Ages".[11][12] Some writers of the period carried this account further. For instance, according to Andrew Dickson White, Bacon was repeatedly persecuted and imprisoned because of the opposition of the medieval Church.[13][14] In this view, which is still reflected in some 21st-century popular science books,[15][16] Bacon would be an advocate of modern experimental science who somehow emerged as an isolated figure in an age supposed to be hostile toward scientific ideas.[17] He was also presented as a visionary; for instance Frederick Mayer wrote that Bacon predicted the invention of the submarine, automobile, and airplane.[18]
However, in the course of the 20th century, the philosophical understanding of the role of experiment in the sciences was substantially modified. Starting with works of Pierre Duhem, Raoul Carton, and Lynn Thorndike,[19] Bacon's advocacy of scientia experimentalis has been argued to differ from modern experimental science.[20] New historical research has also shown that medieval Christians were not generally opposed to scientific investigation[21][22] and revealed the extent and variety of medieval science. In fact, many medieval sources of and influences on Bacon's scientific activity have been identified.[23] For instance, Bacon's idea that inductively derived conclusions should be submitted for further experimental testing is very much like Robert Grosseteste's 'Method of Verification',[24] and Bacon's work on optics and the calendar also followed the lines of inquiry of Grosseteste.[25]
As a result, the picture of Bacon has changed. One recent study summarized that: "Bacon was not a modern, out of step with his age, or a harbinger of things to come, but a brilliant, combative, and somewhat eccentric schoolman of the thirteenth century, endeavoring to take advantage of the new learning just becoming available while remaining true to traditional notions... of the importance to be attached to philosophical knowledge".[26] Bacon is thus seen as a leading, but not isolated, figure in the beginnings of medieval universities at Paris and Oxford, among other contemporary exponents of this shift in the philosophy of science (as we call it today), including Grosseteste (who preceded Bacon), William of Auvergne, Henry of Ghent, Albert Magnus, Thomas Aquinas, John Duns Scotus, and William of Ockham.[27]
As to the alleged persecution, the first known reference to an imprisonment originates around 80 years after Bacon's death. It says the order was given by the head of the Franciscans because of unspecified "suspected novelties".[28][29] However, the fact that no earlier report has been found drives skepticism over the assertion. Moreover, current historians of science who see an incarceration as plausible typically do not connect it with Bacon's scientific writings.[29] Instead, if it happened, scholars speculate that his troubles resulted from such things as his sympathies for radical Franciscans,[30] attraction to contemporary prophecies,[29] or interest in certain astrological doctrines.[31] Bacon's personality has also been mentioned as a factor.[32]
A recent review of the many visions that each age has held about Roger Bacon says contemporary scholarship still neglects one of the most important aspects of his life and thought: the commitment to the Franciscan order. "His Opus maius was a plea for reform addressed to the supreme spiritual head of the Christian faith, written against a background of apocalyptic expectation and informed by the driving concerns of the friars. It was designed to improve training for missionaries and to provide new skills to be employed in the defence of the Christian world against the enmity of non-Christians and of the Antichrist. It cannot usefully be read solely in the context of the history of science and philosophy."[4]
Bacon's Opus Majus contains treatments of mathematics and optics, alchemy, and the positions and sizes of the celestial bodies.
The training Bacon had received showed him the rare defects in existing academic debate.[citation needed] Aristotle was known only through translations, as none of the professors would learn Greek; the same was true of Scripture and many of the other auctores ("authorities") referenced in traditional education. In contrast to Aristotle's argument that facts be collected before deducing scientific truths, physical science was not carried out by observations from the natural world, but by arguments based solely on tradition and prescribed authorities (see Scholasticism).
Bacon withdrew from the scholastic routine and devoted himself to languages and experimental research. The mathematicians whom he considered perfect were Peter of Maricourt and John of London, and two were good: Campanus of Novara and a Master Nicholas. Peter was the author of a famous letter to a friend, Epistola de Magnete, in which he described some of the earliest European experiments with magnetism.[33] Campanus wrote several important works on astronomy, astrology, and the calendar.[34] Bacon often mentioned his debt to the work of Robert Grosseteste and Adam Marsh, as well as to other lesser figures. He was clearly not an isolated scholar in the thirteenth century.[35]
In his writings, Bacon calls for a reform of theological study. Less emphasis should be placed on minor philosophical distinctions than had been the case in scholasticism. Instead, the Bible itself should return to the centre of attention and theologians should thoroughly study the languages in which their original sources were composed. He was fluent in several languages and lamented the corruption of the holy texts and the works of the Greek philosophers by numerous mistranslations and misinterpretations. Furthermore, he urged all theologians to study all sciences closely, and to add them to the normal university curriculum. With regard to the obtaining of knowledge, he strongly championed experimental study over reliance on authority, arguing that "thence cometh quiet to the mind". Bacon did not restrict this approach to theological studies. He rejected the blind following of prior authorities, both in theological and scientific study, which was the accepted method of undertaking study in his day.
In the Opus Minus he criticizes his contemporaries Alexander of Hales and Albertus Magnus who, he says, had not studied the philosophy of Aristotle but only acquired their learning during their life as preachers.[36] Albert was received at Paris as an authority equal to Aristotle, Avicenna, and Averroes,[37] leading Bacon to proclaim that "never in the world [had] such monstrosity occurred before."[38]
The study of optics in part five of Opus Majus draws heavily on the works of both Claudius Ptolemy (his Optics in Arabic translation) and the Islamic scientists Alkindus (al-Kindi) and Alhazen (Ibn al-Haytham).[39][2] He includes a discussion of the physiology of eyesight, the anatomy of the eye and the brain, and considers light, distance, position, and size, direct vision, reflected vision, and refraction, mirrors and lenses. His research in optics was primarily oriented by the legacy of Alhazen through a Latin translation of the latter's monumental Kitab al-manazir (De aspectibus; Perspectivae; The Optics), while the impact of the tradition of al-Kindi (Alkindus) was principally mediated through the influence that this Muslim scholar had on the optics of Robert Grosseteste. Moreover, Bacon's investigations of the properties of the magnifying glass partly rested on the handed-down legacy of Islamic opticians, mainly Alhazen, who was in his turn influenced by Ibn Sahl's 10th century legacy in dioptrics.[40]
Drawing on the recently discovered Greco-Muslim astronomy and on the calendaric writings of Robert Grosseteste, Bacon criticized the Julian calendar, describing it as intolerable, horrible and laughable. He proposed to correct its errors by deleting a day from the calendar every 125 or 130 days.[41]
In his own writings of 1260–1280 Bacon cited Secretum secretorum, which he attributed to Aristotle, far more than his contemporaries did. Often used as an argument for the special influence that this work had on Bacon's own is the manuscript of Secretum that Bacon edited, complete with his own introduction and notes, something Bacon seldom did with others' works. Although some early 20th century scholars like Robert Steele have pushed further along this path, arguing that Bacon's contact with the Secretum was a turning point in Bacon's philosophy, transforming him into an experimentalist, there is no clear reference to such a decisive impact of the Secretum in Bacon's own words. The dating of Bacon's edition of the Secretum is a key argument in this debate, but is still unresolved, with those arguing for a greater impact dating it earlier than those who urge caution in this interpretation.[42]
The cryptic Voynich manuscript has been attributed to Bacon by various sources, including by its first recorded owner, in a book drafted by William Romaine Newbold and posthumously edited and published by Roland Grubb Kent in 1928,[43] and in a 2005 book of Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone published by Doubleday and Broadway Books.[16][44] In strongly worded terms, historians of science Lynn Thorndike[45] and George Sarton have dismissed these claims as unsupported.[46][47]
Another work of contentious date and even origin is the Epistola de Secretis Operibus Artis et Naturae, et de Nullitate Magiae (meaning Letter on the Secret Workings of Art and Nature, and on the Vanity of Magic), sometimes alternatively entitled De Mirabili Potestate Artis et Naturae (On the Wonderful Powers of Art and Nature).[48][49][50][51] This treatise dismisses magical practices like necromancy,[50] and contains most of the alchemical work attributed to Bacon, chiefly a formula for philosopher's stone,[51] and perhaps one for gunpowder.[48] It also contains a number of passages about hypothetical flying machines and (what we today call) submarines, attributing their first use to Alexander the Great.[52]
Bacon is also the ascribed author of the alchemical manual Speculum Alchemiae, which was translated into English as The Mirror of Alchimy in 1597.[53] It is a short treatise about the composition and origin of metals, espousing "conventional" (with respect to the period) Arabian theories of mercury and sulfur as the constituents of metals, and containing vague allusions to transmutation. About this work, John Maxson Stillman wrote that "there is nothing in it that is characteristic of Roger Bacon's style or ideas, nor that distinguishes it from many unimportant alchemical lucubrations of anonymous writers of the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries". M. M. Pattison Muir had a similar opinion, and Edmund Oscar von Lippmann considered this text a pseudepigraph.[54]
Bacon is often considered the first European to describe a mixture containing the essential ingredients of gunpowder. Based on two passages from Bacon's Opus Maius and Opus Tertium, extensively analyzed by J. R. Partington, several scholars cited by Joseph Needham concluded that Bacon had most likely witnessed at least one demonstration of Chinese firecrackers, possibly obtained with the intermediation of other Franciscans, like his friend William of Rubruck, who had visited the Mongols.[48][55] The most telling passage reads: "We have an example of these things (that act on the senses) in [the sound and fire of] that children's toy which is made in many [diverse] parts of the world; i.e. a device no bigger than one's thumb. From the violence of that salt called saltpetre [together with sulphur and willow charcoal, combined into a powder] so horrible a sound is made by the bursting of a thing so small, no more than a bit of parchment [containing it], that we find [the ear assaulted by a noise] exceeding the roar of strong thunder, and a flash brighter than the most brilliant lightning."[48]
More controversial are the claims originating with Royal Artillery colonel Henry William Lovett Hime (at the beginning of the 20th century) that a cryptogram existed in Bacon's Epistola, giving the ratio of ingredients of the mixture. These were published, among other places, in the 1911 edition of Encyclopædia Britannica.[56] An early critic of this claim was Lynn Thorndike, starting with a letter in the 1915 edition of the journal Science ,[57] and repeated in several books of his. M. M. Pattison Muir also expressed his doubts on Hime's theory, and they were echoed by John Maxson Stillman.[58] Robert Steele[59] and George Sarton also joined the critics.[60] Needham concurred with these earlier critics in their opinion that the additional passage does not originate with Bacon.[48] In any case, the proportions claimed to have been deciphered (7:5:5 saltpeter:charcoal:sulfur) are not even useful for stuffing firecrakers, burning slowly while producing mostly smoke, and failing to ignite inside a gun barrel.[61] The ~41% nitrate content is too low to have explosive properties.[62]

To commemorate Bacon's seven hundredth anniversary, Professor John Erskine wrote A Pageant of the Thirteenth Century, a biographical play which was produced at Columbia University and published as a book by Columbia University Press in 1914.
An accessible description of Roger Bacon's life and times is contained in the fiction book Doctor Mirabilis, written in 1964 by the science fiction author James Blish.[63] This is the second book in Blish's quasi-religious trilogy After Such Knowledge, and is a recounting of Bacon's life and struggle to develop a 'Universal Science'. Though thoroughly researched, with a host of references, including extensive use of Bacon's own writings, frequently in the original Latin, the book is written in the style of a novel, and Blish himself referred to it as 'fiction' or 'a vision'. Blish's view of Bacon is uncompromisingly that he was the first scientist, and he provides a postscript to the novel in which he sets forth these views. Central to his depiction of Roger Bacon is that 'He was not an inventor, an Edison or Luther Burbank, holding up a test tube with a shout of Eureka!' He was instead a theoretical scientist probing fundamental realities, and his visions of modern technology were just by-products of "...the way he normally thought — the theory of theories as tools..." Blish indicates where Bacon's writings, for example, consider Newtonian metrical frameworks for space, then reject these for something which reads remarkably like Einsteinian Relativity, and all '...breathtakingly without pause or hiccup, breezily moving without any recourse through over 800 years of physics'.
Many writers of earlier times have been attracted to Roger Bacon as the epitome of a wise and subtle possessor of forbidden knowledge, similar to Faustus. A succession of legends and unverifiable stories has grown up about him, for example, that he created a brazen talking head which could answer any question. This has a role in the play Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay written by Robert Greene in about 1589, and in Robertson Davies's novel Fifth Business (1970), where "The Brazen Head of Friar Bacon" answers audience questions as part of Magnus Eisengrim's magic show.
Bacon also appears as first scientist in The Black Rose, the most commercially successful book by Thomas Costain, written in 1945. The Black Rose is set in the Middle Ages. Bacon's personal presence in the narrative is brief, but includes a demonstration of gunpowder and a few sentences outlining a philosophy of science which might as easily be attributed to Francis Bacon centuries later. The novel's Roger Bacon serves to motivate Costain's protagonist, a fictional Englishman who journeys to China during the reigns of Edward I and Kublai Khan. Costain's narration includes technology such as the compass, the telescope, rockets and the manufacture of paper, all described by his young adventurer with an eye toward bringing these marvels back to Bacon for analysis. Returning to England to find Bacon gone and under house arrest, the traveller begs King Edward to intercede with the pope for the Franciscan's release, arguing that with Bacon's imprisonment a great light of the world is in danger of being put out. Costain's character also comes to argue for emancipation of the Saxon villeins (serfs), linking political with intellectual enlightenment under the fictional Bacon's influence.
In the novel The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, the story follows the investigations of William of Baskerville, presented as an anachronistically empiricist contemporary and colleague of Roger Bacon who often quotes his late friend when explaining William's own methods.[64]

I Love Sky Lipo packs.
We know that if we use the correct C rate in the pack, it will hold the V under load, that means that you will have "more power" in your motor (isn't really more power, is just that the V isn't going down like when you use the wrong C rate for your plane). I have 20c, 25c and 40c packs. If I use the 20c pack on a plane that I should use 25c I can feel that the plane is under powered and the Battery gets really hot trying to deliver the juice that the motor is pulling (the V isn't been holded), if I use the 25c pack (The right rate for that particular plane) you can feel the difference, it just rocks! but if I use the 40c rate pack (Sky lipo) nothing happens, I mean, there is no difference between the 25c and the 40c, both are just great. In my personal experience, my set up won't take more from my pack just because the C rate is higher, my set up will just use what it needs. Again, this is just my personal opinion based on what i have tried. Now, what I can say makes a big difference is the metal plates on the Sky lipo batteries, they really work. The packs don't get that hot as the others and the price is really good. I would never buy other brand again!!!! Quote:

Duke's Mayonnaise
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article appears to be written like an advertisement. (June 2013) |
This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (November 2010) |
Duke's Mayonnaise is a popular product in the southeastern United States and used in regional favorites such as tomato sandwiches, cole slaw, and potato salad. It was created by Mrs. Eugenia Duke of Greenville, South Carolina, in 1917. The product contains no added sugar. As such, many southern cooks and chefs use Duke's in their kitchens as it offers a more traditional, less sweet taste than other mayos.
C.F. Sauer Company purchased the Duke's Products in 1929.
Ingredients list[edit]
Soybean oil, eggs, water, distilled and cider vinegar, salt, oleoresin paprika, natural flavors, calcium disodium EDTA added to protect flavor.[1]

Never underestimate the power of the Golden Globe Awards.
Just ask Robert Downey Jr., who walked off with a renewal stint on "Ally McBeal" merely two days after winning the best supporting actor Globe for the Fox series.
The embattled actor has been entangled in criminal charges stemming from his drug arrest late last year, throwing the future of his career in much speculation. But The Hollywood Reporter is saying today that the actor has sealed a deal with the Fox legal-eagle show to reprise his role for as many as 11 additional episodes, beyond the 10 shows he had already completed this season.
According to the report, the actor could head back to the set as early as next week when production of "Ally McBeal" begins.
The actor is currently free on $50,000 bail and will go back to court on Monday for a scheduled hearing.
TAKE A BITE OUTTA THIS! The fate of "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" could lie in the hands of series star Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Word has been rampant that the show might defect from its WB home to go to other networks, but series star Gellar is not about to have any of that, E! Online says.
"I will stay on 'Buffy' if, and only if, 'Buffy' stays on the WB," Gellar tells E! Online TV columnist Wanda. "And you know what? Print that. My bosses are going to kill me, but print that. I want them to know."
We'll see.
GOLDEN RATINGS: The Golden Globes telecast generated huge ratings for NBC on Sunday night, easily winning the numbers war for the night for the Peacock Network, according to preliminary Nielsen ratings.
The three-hour broadcast averaged 22.5 million viewers and a 10.0 rating and nabbed a 22 share in the key ages 18 to 49 demographic.
In other words, the NBC broadcast whooped everyone else that night.
TALKING THE 'TALK': After a long and arduous search, E! Entertainment's "Talk Soup" has finally found a new host in actress-comedienne Aisha Tyler, Daily Variety says.
Tyler, who also host the syndicated show "The Fifth Wheel," will assume her anchoring duties beginning Friday. The up-and-comer is the first woman and the first black person to sit in the spot.
Past "Talk Soup" talkers include Greg Kinnear and Hal Sparks.
'FIGHTING' REBEL: See, what did we tell you about the power of the Golden Globes earlier?!
Brian Dennehy -- who took a Globe home on Sunday night for best actor in a miniseries or TV movie -- has already got a new gig lined up at NBC. According to Variety, the network has greenlit a sitcom starring the actor for a March debut.
In "The Fighting Fitzgeralds," Dennehy will play an Irish dad whose three grown sons still live with him. The pilot will bow March 6 after "3rd Rock From the Sun."

Okay, so the new Xbox is called the "Xbox One" - which is kind of dumb (what console name isn't dumb, though?) but I think part of the reason they called it that is because nobody will call it the "One" (would you?) so people will just call it the "Xbox" ...which is kind of clever. They called it the Xbox without just calling it the Xbox.
...am I putting too much thought into this, or am I onto something?
Obviously the other reason they went with "One" is because they're pushing it as the "all in one" media machine, which every system since the 360 has tried to be, anyway, but hey. Anyone else have any thoughts on the name? Like it? Hate it? Just curious.
