Last Week's Case Book Review
Situation 8.5.1C A scrimmage kick by K1 from his own EZ is muffed in flight beyond the neutral zone by R1 and rebounds into the end zone where it is recovered by K2. The ball becomes dead in the EZ when K2 downs it.
RULING: This is a safety because the force which put the ball into the end zone was still the kick by K1. R will be awarded 2 points and K will free kick from K's 20-yard line. (8-5-2b)

Too Faced Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer
Average Rating 3.7/5
Review by montinez
This is the best primer! I'm the definition of oily. I use it under my MAC studio fix foundation and set it with a powder and it does not budge all day. The only things I would change is the price and the fact that it comes out of a tube, when you squeeze out too much you have no way of putting the excess back in.

new AC system + tankless water heater
Hi guys,
I live in Massachusetts, I need install a hot air heating system using gas, and a tankless water heater.
I already have central AC with all the duct system.
this contractor come give me a quote, he said since it install in attic, he can only install 80% because higher will have water build up in winter, and going to replace everything.
here is the quote he give to me,
Furnace: Lennox G50UH-36B-090
Specifications: 90,000BTU 80%
Case coil: CH33-36C-2F
Condenser Lennox ACX13-036
New Furnaces and AC Investment
$7,895.00 (Price)
Rinnai: RL94iN Tank less water heater
I checked online, water heater only cost about $1200, he charge me $2000 for labor.
other things I guess cost less than $4000, and Lennox ACX13 need to be XC15 or XC14.
what do you guys think? he is charging me too much?
Sounds about right to me.
The high labor costs of tankless are one of the reasons they rarely make a good financial investment.
The more technical minded can google "tankless minnesota study" to read about the best current study of the economics of tankless.
Here is a link that might be useful: Consumer reports says tankless not worthwhile investment
electric baseboard heaters
do you ask the doctor what his markup is when he operates on you? Do you know what his overhead is like liability insurance, truck insurance, workman's comp., license fees, corporate fees, govt taxes state and federal hourly wages? Oh and don't forget the biggie, advertisement. But I sopose you just want a cut rate discount cause your special, What happens when you go with the low bid and the stuff breaks and the guy you picked on price is nowhere to be found cause he got put out of business because he was working under the radar. You make your own decisions and keep making the legit guy the bad guy okay. Oh yea gas ain't free either.
of course I know there is a markup,
I am just compare the markup between "the legit guy"
with this guy's quote, I don't think I can get a Heat Loan.
and it is a lot of cash up front.
Yes, I just want a cut rate discount cause I am not made out of gold, if he can't compete, stop been a crying baby.
Oh yea money isn't grow on the tree either.
You might be able to get a better quote on the furnace and A/C. I understand that you can only get an 80% furnace, but in that case you should consider getting the highest efficiency single stage A/C for that kind of money.
I wouldn't invest in a tankless water heater at that price. Why not just a regular gas water heater or one that condenses and vents thru the side of the house with a pvc pipe?
By the way, how much is your electricity? You may want to consider getting a heatpump which typically doesn't cost more than the same model A/C. The time to do something like this is when replacing the A/C.
this is kind late, but I found a guy, legit, with license, insu, install the new AC system, use Carrier. I know Carrier is better than Lennox. $7000 - $1200 rebate, $5800 at end.
he did all the rebate paper work, twice, first time some of the rebate didn't work. he work alone, hire three guy help him do the heave lifting/remove old system first day, work alone for 3 more days. he remove all the junk, few days later. I am happen with his work.
Did you get the tankless hot water heater?
the guy give me a quote for $1800 (everything include), but he said since I using well water, it will have a lot of problem later, better stay away from it, he can do it if I really really want it. So I didn't do it.
PS, I install the AC system last year, so it is been over a year now, everything works fine.
We converted to an on-demand or tankless hot water heater in 2007. the unit cost about $1000. it's a Bosch but a lower level model. We sold our old hot water heater for like $75 and I can't tell you how much we save on gas since we never lived in the house without one.We thought it would be crazy to do so because it's an old old home (1780s) with a field stone basement and we would have spent tons for hot water especially if the unit was electric.
Here is a link that might be useful: refrigeration manufacturers nj
I love to install a tankless water heater, but from what the contractor told me, my well water got a lot of iron, even with the water filter I have ( whole house water filter ), it will have problem later, the tankless water heater need yearly maintenance, not a diy thing, need take it a part, and clean all the pipe. install a water softner (too much work/no space for it), install more filter (may not help)

Jobless Claims Jump Up By 24,000
The number of people filing first-time claims for unemployment insurance rose by 24,000 last week from the week before, the Employment and Training Administration reports. There were 399,000 such claims.
Also, "the 4-week moving average was 381,750, an increase of 7,750 from the previous week's revised average of 374,000," the agency says.
As The Associated Press reports, the increase "followed three months of steady declines that brought applications to the lowest level in more than three years."
Some of the rise was to be expected, AP adds:
"Applications typically soar in the first two weeks of the year. That's because companies are letting go of temporary workers brought on to help during the holidays. The department attempts to adjust for those patterns, but the data can be volatile."
In other economic news, the Census Bureau reports that retail sales rose 0.1 percent in December from November, but ended the year up 7.7 percent from December 2010.

Katrina Kaif – Hot pictures profile of Indian film actress
Katrina kaif – life
Katrina Kaif was born in Hong Kong to a Muslim father-Kashmiri, Mr.Mohammed Kaif, and a British mother, Suzzane Turquotte. Her mother, a graduate, was a lawyer but later became involved in some charitable work. Katrina's
parents separated when Katrina Kaif was very young. Kaif has seven siblings.
She was raised in Hawai and later moved to her mother's home country, England.
Katrina Kaif Personal life
She has been dating Salman Khan since the year 2003.
Katrina Career
At the age of fourteen she was approached by an agent and she started modeling; her first job was for a jewelry campaign. She continued modeling in London.
Kaif's London modeling-work led her to discover by London-based filmmaker Kaizad Gustad, who gave her a part in his film Boom (2003). She moved to Mumbai and was offered a number of modeling assignments. However, filmmakers were initially hesitant to sign her because she could not speak Hindi.
Kaif saw success with the 2005 film Sarkar where she played the bit part of Abhishek Bachchan's girlfriend. Her next release, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya (2005), where she was paired opposite Salman Khan, earned her the Stardust Breakthrough Performance Award.
In 2007, Kaif appeared in the hit movie Namastey London, wherein she starred as a British-Indian girl alongside Akshay Kumar for the second time after the box office dud Humko Deewana Kar Gaye (2006). Since then, she had appeared in a series of box office hits that include Apne, Partner and Welcome.
2008 saw her play a negative role for the first time in Abbas-Mustan's hit action thriller Race. She played the role of Saif Ali Khan's secretary who is secretly in love with his hostile stepbrother played by Akshay Khanna.
Kaif's second release of the year was Anees Bazmee's production Singh Is Kinng, opposite Akshay Kumar. Upon release the film was a big success at the box office. Kaif's final release of the year, Subhash Ghai's Yuvvraaj, was a commercial failure, but its script has made its way into the Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for artistic merits, original screenplay with a substance and the film as a whole.
Kaif's first release for 2009, New York, with John Abraham was a critical and commercial success. Kaif's performance was highly appreciated with the critic Taran Adarsh writing, "Katrina gives you the biggest surprise. Known for her glamour roles, Katrina proves that she can deliver if the director and writer offer her a role of substance. She's outstanding. In fact, people will see a new, different Katrina this time." She next appeared in a bit role as a biker chick in the multi-starrer action film Blue, popularly known as India's first underwater thriller,which was also a hit, but crashed in the end, but still appears in the top 10 list of 2009.
Katrina kaif in the media field
Katrina has been dating actor salman khan since 2003. Katrina Kaif was voted Asia's Sexiest woman in 2008 and 2009 by the UK-based publication Eastern Eye and was also the most searched celebrity of 2008 and 2009 on Google india. Katrina Kaif has also appeared twice on the Reality Show 10 Ka Dum, along with Akshay Kumar to promote her film Singh Is Kinng in August 2008, and with Neil Nitin Mukesh for the promotion of her film New York in June 2009. Katrina Kaif appeared on the singing talent show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa with Salman Khan to promote her film Yuvaraj. Kaif is the model for Mattel's Bollywood Barbie, which has been released in September 2009.
Katrina Kaif is not only the numero uno babe of Bollywood but is also number one on the most desirable women list.
In a poll conducted by ZOOM Katrina Kaif secured the first position wheras last year's winner Priyanka Chopra came at number 2nd.
Talking about the honor, Katrina says, Wow! That does feel so amazing. And it feels especially good when you are voted by the people – your fans and the media – themselves. After all, ZOOM is the doyen of glamour and their word is the last word. It's been a good year professionally and now this. I have been winning the 'Most Searched For on Internet', and 'Most Popular' polls, but to be the 'Most Desired Woman in India' – it's kinda cool. I guess I'll have to jump on the ZOOM couch again. I'm so excited.

Led Zeppelin Does Letterman [VIDEO]
In what I describe as "interesting", Led Zeppelin talked to David Letterman last night on The Late Show. While it wasn't fantastical, it was interesting.
In what I describe as "interesting", Led Zeppelin talked to David Letterman last night on The Late Show. While it wasn't fantastical, it was interesting.
Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl returned to the drum kit during a Led Zeppelin tribute at the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday (Dec. 2). Grohl switched places with his drummer Taylor Hawkins, who sang 'Black Dog' and 'Rock and Roll' while Grohl filled a chair that made him famous with Nirvana.
The three surviving members of Led Zeppelin are slated for an appearance on Monday night's (Dec. 3) 'Late Show with David Letterman.'
If you're like me, you likely have Led Zeppelin's catalog on vinyl, CD, the first and second boxed set. You also own How the West was Won and Celebration Day on CD, DVD and Blu-Ray, but now Led Zeppelin's entire catalog is getting the deluxe treatment.
Led Zeppelin gave us one great night in 2007 that's turned into the new 'Celebration Day' concert film, but Jimmy Page reveals that he always thought more shows would follow. The only problem was that Robert Plant was busy with his own project at the time.
If you haven't been able to make it to a screening of Led Zeppelin's new concert film 'Celebration Day,' and just can't wait to get your hands on the whole thing next Tuesday (Nov. 19), good news: The band has decided to give fans an appetizer for the main course by posting their performance of 'Black Dog.'
Led Zeppelin holds very tight reigns on who uses their music and for what and they've now licensed their music for use on a new NBC drama.
When life gives you lemons....
Every weekday around 9:30, we pull one out of the attic. In case you are new,the Attic is a mythical place where we were "enlightened" by great music…and other stuff
November a great month for releases
Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page says he's working on a number of projects for his old band, including remastering their nine albums as individual box sets. In an interview with Mojo, Page revealed that each will include extra music and bonus material.
Led Zeppelin will release Celebration Day on Nov. 19 as a DVD/Blu-ray and now the've have posted a video of Kashmir as a cruel teaser.
A lot of people would love to see Led Zeppelin play again, and Kiss' Gene Simmons says there was one promoter who went as far as to use him as a go-between in attempting to reunite the band for at least one more show.

Global Gender Issues in the New Millenniumby Peterson, V. Spike; Runyan, Anne Sisson
Perseus Books
Global Gender Issues in the New Millennium introduces students to the gendered divisions of world politics today and reveals the power of gender as a meta-lens that keeps gender, race, class, sexual, and national divisions in place, despite limited advances of some women and men on the world political stage. In this completely new edition, the authors apply intersectional analysis to global governance, militarization, global economic restructuring, and environmental degradation. The authors focus on an apparent contradiction-the higher level of attention to gender and women's human rights in a time of fierce militarization, economic inequality, and ecological crisis-and address how the power of gender can be deconstructed to rethink gendered identities, ideologies, structures, and policies. The book emphasizes how using gender to justify or mystify unjust global practices can co-opt hard-won attention to gender equality but also sees promise in struggles to re-radicalize feminist world political demands to improve the conditions of all people and the planet. It also examines the challenges of de-gendering world politics through renewed politics of representation and redistribution. Book jacket.

Spain / The Basque Country
Spain has now become one of the prime surf destinations in Europe for its warmer temperatures, and vast array of beach breaks, river mouths, and reef breaks.
There are great waves for all levels here including some great learn to surf waves such as Loredo.
The Basque Country is located in the corner of the Bay of Bisay bordering France and Spain. San Sebastian is a beautiful little old town where you can find fun waves and delicious tapas. Another hour along the northern coast of Spain takes you to the fishing village of Mundaka, which is a river mouth with one of the best and most famous lefts in Europe.
There are waves all year around but it is the winter that brings the biggest and most consistent waves to this area. The main (and warmer!) surf season is between May - October.
Make sure you check our learn to surf specials if you are looking to take the next step and give it a go!
Cantabria (Santander / Loredo)
Loredo is located in the state of Cantabria. A wide variety of beaches produce huge stretches of easily accessible waves for beginner to advanced surfers. There are point-breaks and reef breaks for the experts and the surf is pretty consistent all year around although the waves are at their best during autumn and spring.
From Playa Gros in San Sebastian to Zarautz, Tapia, and then Santander, Loredo, Liencres, and heaps of other secret spots all along the northern coast of Spain as far as Pantin – Spain / The Basque Country has lots of hidden treasures.
Surf & Other Activities
Loredo is located in the state of Cantabria. A wide variety of beaches produce huge stretches of easily accessible waves for beginner to advanced surfers. There are point-breaks and reef breaks for the experts and the surf is pretty consistent all year around although the waves are at their best during autumn and spring.
San Sebastian boasts one of the best in-city beaches in Europe. The surf gets crowded but there are some fun waves, usually manageable even if the swell in the Bay of Biscay is huge.
Zarautz is just along the north coast of Spain not far from San Sebastian, it's a big sandy bay with lefts and rights, perfect for all levels and works well on a south wind. A fun place to be in the summertime when there are plenty of fiestas in the local bars
Mundaka is a fast, barrelling left-hander, the locals are heavy and the wave is even heavier when big. When it's on, it's considered the best left in Europe. The fishing village of Mundaka is very picturesque but very small so you are advised to book a hotel before you get there.
Bakio is situated not far from Mundaka; it's a left and a right beachbreak suitable for all levels of surfing. It holds up to solid 8 foot.
Spain entices travellers from all over the world for their friendly locals, beautiful beaches, party atmosphere and wild festivals. If you go in summer (June, July, August), don't miss the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona near San Sebastian in early July or La Tomitina, the tomato street fight in Bunol near Valencia at the end of August. San Sebastian is also famous for its tapas bars and is well worth a visit.
Seasons & Weather
The waves are bigger and the swells more consistent during the winter months between September and May. You will need a 4'3 wetsuit until from October to May and then the water temperature heats up and you can usually wear a shortie or board shorts from mid-July until September.
The north of Spain is close to the mountains, which brings changeable weather however it's usually hot and sunny (30 - 35°C) during the summer months of July and August. The bigger swells start to come through around September time. November to February is normally colder and rainy but there's snow in the Pyrenees from December until springtime so this is one of the few places in the world where you are able to snowboard/ski and surf in the same day.

Let's face it: voting in California can be downright daunting. Ballots are typically long and confusing, with lots of complicated propositions and non-sexy political races that you might not feel fully prepared — or interested — in weighing in on. And this being a midterm election, voter participation is expected to drop significantly from 2012. That said, there are some pretty important local and statewide issues at stake.
Despite the political fatigue most of us likely feel from the season's less-than-charming barrage of campaign ads and mailings, it really is in our best interest, as voters, to study up and make informed decisions at the polls — lest we find ourselves with leaders and laws we never bargained for. To get you prepped for the statewide races, KQED's Election Watch 2014 team prepared this nifty — and objective — campaign guide that explains everything from what a controller does to the politics of medical malpractice. Read up and take it with you to the polls (on your device or printed out). Don't worry, it's not considered cheating.

Kelli Keefe accounted for 11 of Sonora High's 17 fourth-quarter points, helping the Wildcats race past host Lathrop 53-34 in a Valley Oak League contest Thursday.
Tim Baker saved his best for last.
Sierra High varsity wrestler Alex Patton was visibly disappointed after his taxing match with Bobby Guillory.
Sierra High boys varsity basketball coach Scott Thomason knows his squad's style of play.
With one of its top players sidelined for missing practice, East Union High's boys basketball team was nearly burned by one of its former lower-level players.
RIPON - The fact that Ripon High's boys basketball was in the double-bonus before halftime is a pretty good sign that the Indians were aggressive on the court.
East Union High's girls basketball team began its defense of the Valley Oak League championship Tuesday with a 73-23 rout of visiting Lathrop at Dalben Center.
RIPON – The Knights made a splash in their return to the Southern League Tuesday, defeating Mariposa, 62-40.
RIPON - Ripon Christian's girls basketball team wanted to make a statement, but first-year head coach Ed Mulder didn't expect the Knights to pummel visiting Mariposa in such resounding fashion, 62-19.
Weston Ranch High staked its claim as one of the Valley Oak League's boys basketball powers in 2006, the school's first year with a senior class.
To overcome their size deficiencies, East Union and Manteca High's girls basketball teams worked on picking up the pace over their non-league schedules.
Modesto Christian and Turlock Christian aren't sporting winning records, but don't be fooled.
Ripon Christian's exodus from the Trans Valley League came at a good time, but that doesn't mean the Knights will have it easy in the Southern League where traditional power Mariposa and the Sac-Joaquin Section's leading scorer, Turlock Christian's Brandon Rogers, await.
Milestones were reached.
TRACY - A valuable lesson was learned by Manteca High's girls basketball team Thursday in the championship round of the Tom Hawkins/Tracy Breakfast Lions Tournament at Tracy High.
STOCKTON – Weston Ranch and Lathrop could only combine for eight first-quarter points Thursday but the Cougars went on a roll the rest of the way and defeated the visiting Spartans 55-26 in Valley Oak League girls basketball action.
OAKDALE – It was about this time last year that Olivia Vezaldenos and the East Union girls basketball team began their playoff push.
HUGHSON – Ripon Christian kept its perfect Trans-Valley League record intact but may have lost a key player in the process.
LATHROP – Jaelen Ragsdale had his best performance in weeks on a night when Lathrop star Isaiah Ellis struggled just to stay on the court.
The Lathrop wrestling team swept its Valley Oak League double-dual meet with Weston Ranch and Kimball on Wednesday.

Life as a Captive of the Job Markettags: Chronicle of Higher Ed., job market, Eunice Williams, PhDs
The academic job market is an exercise in captivity, and I am still its prisoner.
To some extent I've ensured my place in this life by acceding to the terms of academe. I've defended my dissertation, and so I've unofficially transformed myself from Eunice Williams, Ph.D. candidate, to Dr. Williams. Even if I'm befuddled by the job market, I've still agreed to abide by the rules of the game.
The problem, I think, is that I'm still not sure that I've learned all of the rules. I had a campus interview in December that seemed to go well, but, alas, I got no offer out of it. It felt good to practice my job talk, to see what it was like to meet with potential colleagues, and to learn the etiquette of breaking bread with search-committee members....

The Bills don't win much these days, but if they came out on top of anything this year it would have to be the Kelvin Sheppard for Jerry Hughes trade.

Hey guys,
im doing a kitchen remodel with a lot of help from the kitchen forums and i am working on the floors. Even though i have engineered wood in the adjoining family room, ive chosen to use a wood porcelain tile for the kitchen.
My question is the tile i chose comes in two sizes 6 x36 and 9x36. i was thinking to go with the 9in because that means less grout lines but not sure if that would look better ..what do you guys think...
here is a pic..the one i chose is in the middle and that's a 9 in planks

Touring Has Gwen Stefani Beat!
Monday 8:09 AM, 29/06/2009
Singer Gwen Stefani is touring with No Doubt right now and it seems life on tour is harder for Gwen now than it used to be! Gwen returned to her New York hotel late last night and didn't stop to sign any autographs. Instead the star sent a tour manager down to apologize for not being able to stop!

National Maritime Museum
The National Maritime Museum is the largest and most important museum of its kind in the world. It is housed among the historic buildings of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site and incorporates the Royal Observatory and 17th century Queen's House - England's first classical building and a rare surviving example of the work of architect Inigo Jones.
The museum's exhibition areas celebrate maritime heritage and aim to show visitors the importance of the ocean in our lives today.

Beautiful Greenwich
Looking out over Greenwich park is one of the greatest maritime museums of the world - The National Maritime Museum in London, containing models, displays, paintings and trophies from every continent of the world.
Painted Hall
Part of the King William Court, this was planned to be the hospital's dining hall. Wren submitted the designs in 1698, and the roof and the dome above were already in place five years later.
Sir James Thornhill, who decorated the inside of the dome of St Paul's Cathedral, was commissioned to decorate the Hall, which was intended as a dining hall for the sailors. He started work in 1708 and did not finish until nineteen years later in 1727. Thornhill shows his remarkable skill in the use of trompe l'oeil painting throughout the Painted Hall – on the columns, window sills and in the grisaille works in the Vestibule and Upper Hall.
For his 'great and laborious undertaking' he was only paid £3 per square yard for the ceiling, and £1 per square yard for the walls. This still amounted to £16,000, and earnt him a knighthood from the Queen, the first English painter to receive such an honour.
While Thornhill worked, more and more pensioners were coming to Greenwich. Pensioners could not eat in the Hall while he was working and it was both too grand and too much of a tourist attraction when finished.
The Painted Hall stood empty until January 1806, when the body of Admiral Lord Nelson was brought here to lie in state for three days, 5–7 January 1806, viewed by (reports say) 30,000 members of the public. His body was then taken by river to St Paul's Cathedral for the state funeral the following day. Today a plaque marks the spot where his body lay.
In 1824 the Hall became the 'National Gallery of Naval Art' or Naval Gallery for short – and remained so until 1930s, when its contents were transferred to the newly created National Maritime Museum. By 1939 the Painted Hall was once again in use as a dining room. It remained in daily use until the Royal Navy's departure in 1998. Today visitors share it again during the day as do those who come to special evening events to eat in 'the finest dining hall in Europe'.

Informative exhibits inside..
A superb museum for anyone, particularly those with an interest in maritime matters & history.
There is a central, ground floor area charting the rise of London & Britain as a maritime power, showing how the City developed over the centuries, changing the look of the area around the Thames & the creation of the wharves & docks. A board summarises the timeline in London Thames' development & importance.
Lord Nelson is also recognised, together with a display of the very coat he was wearing when he received the fatal musket wound. The offending bullet itself is displayed in Windsor Castle.
In other section on the ground floor you can see various boats, including some very ornate royal barges, record-breaking powerboats, etc.
One can learn how cargo ships evolved over the years, with scaled models of the various types around. Also, there are excellent models of old style ship building yards.
Then, there is an Arctic zone which is very well recreated, enabling one to feel the perils of seafaring in those harsh, unforgiving parts of the oceans. One can see accounts of the Dutch voyager Barents & the Danish one Bering, with a sea named after each of these two explorers.
Further, there is thorough explanation of how the different European powers were motivated to seek out far away lands to consolidate their empires and monopolies of global trade routes & raw materials.
You can find a brilliant display of a topographical model of the world, with the main goods seeked out from each particular zone, eg gold from Central & South America, spices from India & the Middle East, etc.
In another section, you can learn about bouyancy (from the large, water-filled tank), how tsunamis are formed, the various types of waves, whirlpools, etc.
Upstairs you can find the magnificent stained glass dome of the now demolished (following an explosion) Baltic Exchange.
There is also a children's play area in the open, middle section.
Also, there are displays all around with various ship memorabilia.

National Maritime Museum
Greenwich Palace, which is now the Old Royal Naval College, is where Henry VIII was born. He went on two marry two of his six wives there. His daughters Mary and Elizabeth, who would later become monarchs themselves, were also born at the palace.
Henry VIII was very fond of ships, and Greenwich was well sited for visiting the new shipyards at nearby Deptford and Woolwich.
Although the palace Henry would have known is no longer standing, the land on which Greenwich Palace once stood has since become a world heritage site and the home of the Old Royal Naval College.
To the east of the Naval College is the Trinity Hospital almshouse, founded in 1613, the oldest surviving building in the town centre.
Behind the former Naval College is the National Maritime Museum housed in buildings forming another symmetrical group and grand arcade around the Queen's House, designed by Inigo Jones. Continuing to the south, Greenwich Park is a Royal Park of 183 acres, laid out in the 17th century and formed from the hunting grounds of the Royal Palace of Placentia.
Explore Britain's encounter with the world at sea from the 16th to the early 20th centuries. Steer a ship into port, learn about waves and tides, see how our lives depend on the ocean and hear the story of human exploration.
National Maritime Museum* Mon–Sun 10.00–17.00 (Nelson's coat with fatal bullethole!)
Queen's House* Mon–Sun 10.00–17.00 (cool geometrical floor design, nice hall)
Royal Observatory* Mon–Sun 10.00–17.00 (where Western/Eastern hemispheres meet!)
Whilst here, why not visit the Royal Observatory & the Prime Meridian? See the next tip!

Maritime history
A traditional museum about the maritime history. Actualy it was smaller than I expected. Because the Maritime history is such an important part of British history. The objects on display are very beautiful; like the instruments for navigation from all over the world. It's a very authentic museum. But I sometimes miss the context (interpretation) in which the objects can be placed in history.
Tip: At the website you can find extra information. Visit and read the website before visiting this museum.

History of Britain's love of the sea
The National Maritime Museum again is not the typical i staid collection of nautical artifact, its one of those few interactive, hands-on family museum.
Although in some parts the museum just displays painting and old films,, the museum really has created dozens of kid-friendly exhibits--areas where children can both play and learn about maritime history. My favorite is the Explorers Gallery, The All Hands children's gallery and The Bridge where little sailors can steer a ship into port through a simulator.
If you don't have kids well, you can also enjoy a more relaxed visit, where you can visit some artifacts from the Titanic ( I love anything Titanic related) , or see Nelson's bullet pierced coat from the Battle of Trafalgar, and the original paintings and instruments from Captain Cook's voyages. There are a lot of places that are more for the real maritime history buffs, you won't be disappointed.
A worthwhile experience, and by the way The National Maritime Museum is the largest maritime museum in the world.

National Maritime Museum
This is one of my favourite museums in London, simply because Britain is and long has been a strong seafaring nation and a lot of it started here at Greenwich. Here you will find so many interesting things on British history since it has happened at sea, not least a prime exhibit in the form of Nelson's own blood stained trousers from the Battle of Trafalgar! :))) Lots of items from other famous battles (including Falklands) and expeditions can be seen as well as ship models and an exhibition on the slave trade and the importance of navigation. The museum shop has an excellent collection of books on maritime things and gadgets found on ships. The museum also runs the Observatory up the hill where you can see the famous World "0" Meridian and lots of navigational and astronomical instruments. That I personally find boring since I don't follow the mathematics as much as I'd like, but it is nevertheless moving to be at the Epicentre of the World :) You can also visit nearby Queen's House which Inigo Jones designed for James I's Queen Anne in the grounds of the old Tudor palace, and which has been further decorated since then. I have not yet visited so on that I cannot give a personal account but it is known for painted ceilings and other art works.

Greenwich is the home of the largest maritime museum in the world. Really worth a visit! At the moments you can feel there like somewhere close to the sea, as near the main entrance you will hear sea sound all the time. Good trick:)
For children: on the second floor (3 Level) children will have lots of fun and perhaps won't like to leave soon, as there they can try many interesting things on their own.
Admission is FREE.

National Maritime Museum
The National Maritime Museum holds the largest collection of marine art in the world. It was originally collected to illustrate the rise of British seapower from the Spanish Armada, through the period of colonial expansion in the 18th and 19th centuries. If you want to know about a particular painting or artist, there is an interactive library section where you can look for it.
But the primary things we enjoyed were the interactive exhibits - game type things where you shoot missiles, quiz type ones, and even stuff like a pretend corridor in a ship where they have a persons name and job on the doors (cabin steward, purser, captain) and you open the door and see the uniform that person would wear and hear a recorded message about them. They had model ships, and paintings, dioramas, including two family groups of emigrants with their luggage - one steerage and one-first class. There were also decorated royal barges, and the uniform Nelson wore when he was killed with holes and bloodstains.
The museum is now free and is open every day except Dec 24, 25, and 26 from10.00 to 17.00 (18.00 in summer)
I took this picture before I realized that I wasn't supposed to take pictures inside the museum.

Maritime Museum with kids
Greenwich Maritime Museum has a terrific hands-on section for kids. Our 2 kids thought it was one of the highlights of our England trip. The rest of the museum has very good explanations of each exhibit. Take the boat to get there - it was a nice day trip from London. Arts & crafts fair on the weekends is fun to look at too.

National Maritime Museum
This is perhaps one of the best museums I've ever visited. The whole exhebition is interesting, allows the visitor to be active and you actually learn something. Various exhibitions are offered, ranging from the history of transatlantic crossings by boat to 'How do the tides work?'. I absolutely recommend you to spend at least 1.5 hour in this place and don't forget, the entrance is FREE!! So don't miss it!
National Maritime Museum
This museum in London is a must if you've any type of fondness for the sea or the history of Britain's maritime might. It was expanded in recent years and now holds thousands of ship models, paintings, charts and ship plans. Many different galleries to explore including the Nelson Gallery showing everything to do with Horatio Nelson. For the morbid you can even view the coat he was wearing when he was killed, complete with bullet hole.
Guided tours are available or you can wander about on your own, my preferred way of visiting museums.
Various temporary exhibits come and go from this museum and I was lucky enough to see the Elizabeth I exhibit while it was on from May to Sept 2003. 2003 was the 400th anniversary of Elizabeth's death.
I love reading about the history of the age of Elizabeth I and this exhibit gave me the opportunity to view objects associated with her life and time on the throne. Also in the exhibit were items of her mother, Anne Boleyn. I am especially intrigued by Elizabeth and Anne because we supposedly come from a common ancestor on the Boleyn line.
My favourite part of the exhibit was viewing the Armada portrait, a painting of Elizabeth with a view of the Armada behind her, a painting I'd seen in history books my whole life. Suddenly, there it was right in front of me, quite a thrill I must say.
Once you've finished touring the Martime Museum head up the Hill to the Royal Observatory for one of the best views of London. My cousin drives to work past this hill and then in front of the museum and he says it's the best part of his day as it's such a beautiful view.
The Museum includes the Queen's House a 17th Century bulding and the Observatory.
Admission to the National Maritime Museum is free though you will pay for special temporary exhibits.

Juvenile prisoners focus of documentary, panel
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
The Justice Center for Research at Penn State will host a showing of the documentary "Lost for Life," which focuses on juveniles receiving life without parole prison sentences, at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 2, in 113 Carnegie Building, University Park campus. The documentary filmmaker Joshua Rofé will take part in a panel discussion following the presentation. The event is free and open to the public.
In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the practice of life without parole for juveniles constituted "cruel and unusual punishment." However, Pennsylvania is not retroactively enforcing this ruling for the adults who were sentenced as juveniles many years ago. Pennsylvania has more juvenile lifers than any other state, making this a highly relevant issue for student and community discussion. The documentary "Lost for Life" is appearing in film festivals and receiving very favorable reviews since its debut at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC this past summer.
A panel discussion will focus on the relevance, ethical/moral conflicts, and policy implications of this timely issue. Speakers will be Judge Timothy Searer, former president judge, 58th Judicial District of Pennsylvania; Michael Burroughs, assistant director, The Rock Ethics Institute; Michaela Soyer, postdoctoral scholar, The Justice Center for Research; and filmmaker Rofé.
The event is co-sponsored by: The Justice Center for Research, The Rock Ethics Institute, The Department of Film-Video and Media Studies, The Bennett Pierce Prevention Research Center, and the Department of Sociology and Criminology.
