Earl of Dorset
Duke of Dorset was a title in the Peerage of Great Britain. It was created in 1720 for the politician Lionel Sackville, 7th Earl of Dorset. The Sackville family descended from Sir Richard Sackville. His only surviving son, Thomas Sackville, was a statesman, poet and dramatist and notably served as Lord High Treasurer between 1599 and 1608. He was raised to the Peerage of England as Baron Buckhurst, of Buckhurst in the County of Sussex, in 1567, and was made Earl of Dorset in 1604, also in the Peerage of England. The titles descended in the direct line until the death of his grandson, the third Earl, in 1624. The late Earl was succeeded by his younger brother, the fourth Earl. He was Lord Chamberlain between 1642 and 1649. He was succeeded by his son, the fifth Earl. He married Lady Frances, daughter of Lionel Cranfield, 1st Earl of Middlesex. He was succeeded by his eldest son, the sixth Earl. He succeeded to the Cranfield estates on the death of his maternal uncle Lionel Cranfield, 3rd Earl of Middlesex. In 1675, two years before he succeeded his father, he was raised to the Peerage of England in his own right as Baron Cranfield, of Cranfield in the County of Middlesex, and Earl of Middlesex. He was succeeded by his son, the aforementioned seventh Earl, who was made Duke of Dorset in 1720.
The Duke of Dorset was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Duke. The latter was succeeded by his nephew, the third Duke. He was the son of Lord John Sackville, second son of the first Duke. Dorset was He was the British Ambassador to France between 1783 and 1789 in the lead up to the French Revolution. He was succeeded by his only son, the fourth Duke. He died unmarried at an early age in 1815 after a fall from his horse. The titles passed to his cousin, Charles Sackville-Germain, 2nd Viscount Sackville, who became the fifth Duke. He was the son of George Germain, 1st Viscount Sackville, third son of the first Duke (see Viscount Sackville). All the titles became extinct on his death in 1845.
The family seat was Knole House, Kent. On the death of the fourth Duke in 1815 Knole House was inherited by the late Duke's sister, Lady Elizabeth Sackville. She was the wife of George West, 5th Earl De La Warr, who assumed the additional surname of Sackville. In 1865 the barony of Buckhurst held by the Earls and Dukes of Dorset was revived in Elizabeth's favour. In 1876 the Sackville title was also revived when her younger son Mortimer Sackville-West was created Baron Sackville.

In fiction[edit]
The plot line of David Gurr's thriller "A Woman Called Scylla" assumes fictionally that the Dukedom of Dorset did not become extinct but survived into the Twentieth Century. In 1977 the book's protagonist is the granddaughter of George Frederick Henry, the tenth Duke of Dorset. He is mentioned as being born in 1886, having been severely wounded at Ypres in World War I and later devoting himself to gardening. Other members of the Duke's family also have a big share in the plot, particularly his daughter Mary, a SOE agent in World War II captured and tortured to death by the Nazis.

NEMO Sleeping Bags and Pads
Latest Reviews
More wasted money. Used the tent several times, seam sealed as specified and still finding the Pawprint wet. Last night it poured down and I woke to find a puddle in one corner. This was after clagging the tent up with seam sealer. The inside always wets out and wet patches appear all over inside and in most cases droplets run down on the inside. Not condensation — water from outside. I guess the United Kingdom must get more rain than anywhere else as not a bad word to be said anywhere. Being… Full review
Strato Loft 25
As a stomach sleeper this bag has been long awaited. I'm 5'9" and 210 lbs and this bag has plenty of room. I have tested it around 38 degrees F and slept very warm without anything more than underwear. I use a Nemo pad with it and actually like the fact that it requires a pad because you can adjust the comfort rating with the pad. I think this bag performs very well and within its specifications. Someone mentioned that it does not come with a large storage bag for home use but mine did. I ordered… Full review

My tent for my 2013 AT thru-hike. I'm 6'2" and had extra space at my feet and head. Great great great tent!!!! Know what it is and and what it is not and you will not be disappointed. I would buy this tent again without hesitation. Full review
Hunker 2P
Well built, but incredibly small. This shelter seems to be well built and of good quality. I purchased this with the expectation that I would use it in the event of an unplanned overnight stay or getting caught in a bad storm for a few hours. While I believe you could easily ride out a short storm with this shelter, which is apparently one of its main purposes, It would not work well for emergency overnight stays. The dimensions, even though they may be accurate, are very deceiving. You will not… Full review
Morpho 1P
Since it is a single wall style tent these types are prone to condensation problems. On some cool mornings it was like a rainstorm had opened up inside the tent. The air bladder style poles would take 30 minutes or more to pump up with enough air to support the tent. It was also a heavy and bulky tent for its size. I would NOT recommend this tent for any reason. The tent was purchased for cycle camping but proved to be a poor choice in waterproofness, setup, and weight. The air bladder poles took… Full review

UK government broke EU air quality law, supreme court says
LONDON (Reuters) – British judges ruled on Wednesday that the UK government has breached European Union air quality law and asked the European Court of Justice (ECJ) for guidance on what action needs to be taken, delaying immediate improvements to air pollution.
Britain's highest appeal court, the Supreme Court, said the government was in breach of an EU directive which put limits on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) – a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning fuels which can damage people's breathing.
Most firms get greenhouse gas reports wrong: report
LONDON (Reuters) – Most of the world's largest companies do not report their greenhouse gas emissions fully or correctly and do not have the data independently verified, a study by an environmental research body showed on Wednesday.
Companies are under pressure worldwide from policymakers, and a public increasingly concerned with green issues, to report the environmental fallout of all activities related to their daily business – from plane journeys to office supplies.
Metals recycling needs bigger role in product design: U.N
OSLO/LONDON (Reuters) – Designers of everything from mobile phones to electric car batteries should make their products far easier to recycle to offset soaring demand for metals, two United Nations reports recommended on Wednesday.
Products should be made to become "designer minerals" at the end of their lifetimes so they can more simply be broken up and stripped of metals ranging from copper to gold, according to the twin studies.
EU carbon market to shrink further after fix failure
LONDON, April 17 (Reuters) – More banks and trading houses
could abandon Europe's carbon market, making government auctions
of permits more likely to fail, after the European parliament on
Tuesday rejected an emergency measure to prop up prices.
Prices for EU carbon permits under the Emissions
Trading Scheme (ETS) fell 40 percent to under 3 euros on Tuesday
after lawmakers rejected a plan to temporarily cut permit supply
by 15 percent for fear that higher carbon prices would cost
European jobs and harm economic growth.
Clean energy progress too slow to limit global warming: report
LONDON (Reuters) – The development of low-carbon energy is progressing too slowly to limit global warming, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Wednesday.
With power generation still dominated by coal and governments failing to increase investment in clean energy, top climate scientists have said that the target of keeping the global temperature rise to less than 2 degrees Celsius this century is slipping out of reach.
EU parliament poised for crunch carbon market vote

Tuesday hold a decisive vote on a plan to reduce a glut of
allowances that has devastated the EU Emissions Trading Scheme
(ETS), the world's biggest carbon market.
Following months of bitter debate, the vote in a plenary
session of the European Parliament at around midday (1000 GMT)
is expected to be extremely close.
Europe's toxic air: clearer but not clean
LONDON/BRUSSELS, April 10 (Reuters) – Europeans no longer
see the kind of pollution that within living memory killed
thousands of Londoners in the Great Smog of 1952, but the air
they breathe still bears invisible threats scarcely less deadly,
and little more controlled.
While attention is given to curbing the carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions blamed for global warming, substances more directly
harmful to human health, notably nitrogen oxides, are pumped out
of diesel engines and from European power stations burning coal
that is getting cheaper as Americans exploit new gas reserves.
Crunch vote nears that could kill EU carbon fix
BRUSSELS/LONDON, April 9 (Reuters) – Months of bitter
argument culminate next Tuesday in a make-or-break vote on an
attempt to prop up the European Union carbon prices, which
plunged to record lows earlier this year.
A proposal put forward by the European Commission last year
to remove temporarily some of the glut of carbon allowances that
has depressed the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) was meant to be
a quick and easy fix.
Global seaborne trade seen doubling by 2030-report
LONDON, April 8 (Reuters) – Global seaborne trade will more
than double by 2030 as China's rapidly growing economy fuels
demand for commodities, a report by ship classifier Lloyd's
Register, defence technology firm Qinetiq and the University of
Strathclyde showed on Monday.
World seaborne trade will reach between 19 and 24 billion
tonnes a year by 2030 compared to the current 9 billion tonnes
now, the report entitled "Global Marine Trends 2030″ showed.
Air travel to get bumpier as CO2 emissions rise, scientists say
LONDON, April 8 (Reuters) – Turbulence on transatlantic
flights will become more frequent and severe by 2050 as carbon
dioxide emissions rise, leading to longer journey times and
increased fuel consumption, British scientists said in a study
on Monday.
Any air traveller has probably experienced turbulence. It
can happen without warning and is caused by climate conditions
such as atmospheric pressure, jet streams, cold and warm fronts
or thunderstorms.

Isaac Rosenberg
Isaac Rosenberg was an English poet of the First World War who was considered to be one of the greatest of all English war poets. His "Poems from the Trenches" are recognised as some of the most outstanding written during the First World War.
Isaac Rosenberg was born to Barnet and Annie Rosenberg, who had fled Devinsk in Lithuania to escape anti-Jewish pogroms. In 1897, the family moved to 47 Cable Street in a poor district of the East End of London, and one with a strong Jewish community. He attended St. Paul's School around the corner in Wellclose Square, until his family (of Russian descent) moved to Stepney in 1900, so he could experience Jewish schooling. He left ... more »

Isaac Rosenberg Poems
Break of Day in the Trenches
The darkness crumbles away It is the same old druid Time as ever, Only a live thing leaps my hand, A queer sardonic rat,
Dead Man's Dump
The plunging limbers over the shattered track Racketed with their rusty freight, Stuck out like many crowns of thorns, And the rusty stakes like sceptres old
Returning, We Hear the Larks
Sombre the night is. And though we have our lives, we know What sinister threat lies there.
In the Trenches
I snatched two poppies From the parapet's ledge, Two bright red poppies That winked on the ledge.
The Immortals
I killed them, but they would not die. Yea! all the day and all the night For them I could not rest or sleep, Nor guard from them nor hide in flight.
Louse Hunting
Nudes -- stark and glistening, Yelling in lurid glee. Grinning faces And raging limbs Whirl over the floor one fire.
Through These Pale Cold Days
Through these pale cold days What dark faces burn Out of three thousand years, And their wild eyes yearn,
On Receiving News of the War
Snow is a strange white word. No ice or frost Has asked of bud or bird For Winter's cost.
The Jew
Moses, from whose loins I sprung, Lit by a lamp in his blood Ten immutable rules, a moon For mutable lampless men.
In his malodorous brain what slugs and mire, Lanthorned in his oblique eyes, guttering burned! His body lodged a rat where men nursed souls. The world flashed grape-green eyes of a foiled cat
August 1914
What in our lives is burnt In the fire of this? The heart's dear granary? The much we shall miss?
Soldier: Twentieth Century
I love you, great new Titan! Am I not you? Napoleon or Caesar Out of you grew.
'A worm fed on the heart of Corinth'
A worm fed on the heart of Corinth, Babylon and Rome: Not Paris raped tall Helen, But this incestuous worm,
The Troop Ship
Grotesque and queerly huddled Contortionists to twist The sleepy soul to a sleep, We lie all sorts of ways

Séjour très agréable, je conseille vivement cet hôtel
Je suis all� au Manoir de l'Esplanade, � Qu�bec, du 16 au 20 juillet. La situation de l'h�tel est excellente, au sein des remparts de la ville, tr�s proche de tous les sites. Les r�ceptionnistes �taient tous tr�s serviables et polis. Le petit d�jeuner �tait d�licieux ! Je suis ravi d'avoir choisi cet h�tel pour mon s�jour. Le seul petit b�mol �tait la climatisation, trop froide � mon go�t. Mis � part �a, cet h�tel est tout simplement formidable ! Chaudement recommand�.
Nice hotel, good location
Found this hotel based in part on other reviews on this website. Our room was very comfortable (the kids wanted to take the pillows home with them) with two beds and a small TV. The rate included breakfast and the hotel gives a discount on parking in a garage. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is great - right near everything without being noisy. From our window, we could see the Chateau Frontenac, which is lit up at night. Good value in a city than can be very expensive!
Lovely Stay, a hotel I would highly recommend
I stayed in Manoir de L'Esplanade, Quebec City from 16th - 20th July. The hotel's location is very good, just inside the city wall, very close to all attractions. The receptionists were all very helpful and polite. Breakfast was delightful!
I am very happy that I have chosen this hotel for my stay. The only minor drawback is that I found the air conditioning was slightly too cold for me. Other than that, this hotel is absolutely fantastic! Highly recommended.
A Hidden Gem Worth Finding
My wife and I had the good fortune to find the Manoir de L'Esplanade quite by accident during our honeymoon in 2002. In planning our itinerary we purposely decided to allow fate to play a hand in our hotel selection by not reserving a hotel for two days between our stay at the Chateau Frontenace (on the night of our arrival) and three nights at the end of the week at the Dominion 1912. The tourist service agency assisted us in making reservations in this delightful inn. The hotel is beautifully located near the gates to the city with a view of the parliament. Our room on the lower level had a bay window overlooking the park across the street and was one of the cleanest hotel rooms we'd ever stayed in anywhere. The room was large, yet cozy, with built-in bookcases, a comfortable bed, a decorative fireplace, and a window seat in the bay window. The location was convenient to evening walks in the old city and daytime walks to the Plains of Abraham. It was a delightful place and quite a bargain. If we ever get back to Quebec City, the Manoir will be included in our itinerary--not the Chateau.
Nice hotel and a great value!
Just got back from a 4 night stay here and had a wonderful experience. The owners are really nice and the place is immaculate. You can't beat the location and price! I would definitely go back.
Very nice
A very nice and cute hotel. Well locate, very clean. Very good value for the price. I'll go back to this hotel
Loved it
I don't understand the negative review. Went there for a few years and had some of the best service anywhere in the world (yep, I mean it!) Kind, friendly, very clean, always trying to please.
It's not a Hilton, but like the Churchil in Bayeux, if you have ever been there.
Great location, and pretty cute and cozy rooms
The place was in the best location. Right in front of the Parliament, between a great club Chez Dagobert and the famous Chateau Frontenac.
The rooms were really cute and cozy too (very European like). Though the only drawback was that it was a bit cold in the room (from the side that is onlooking onto the Parliament, where there is an open area, so it gets windy, and cools down the room a bit). Though the owner provided an external heater which helped a lot. I'd say it was definately a great experience and I recommend it. I would definately stay there again when I go back to visit Quebec.
Terrible experience
We had a terrible experience in the Manoir de L'Esplanade in Quebec City. It had bad facilities and was freezing when we visited in December. The Hotel owner never put the heat up to an adequate level, despite being asked several times. Then, worst of all, we discovered at our next credit card statement that the Hotel took money from our credit card without authorisation. When challenged on this matter, the Hotel accused us of stealing things from the Hotel to justify the unauthorised transaction. It goes without saying that we stole nothing.
The whole experience was awful. Stay well away from this place.
The couple who wrote this comment stayed in our hotel during the Christmas time of 2003. As they complained that the room is cool at the 1st day, we added a fancy portable electric heater (a new one) in their room, because other customers found the central heat confortable for them. Then the couple found the room confortalbe and asked to extend their stay for 2 additionnal nights. Immediatly after they left, our maid went to make the room. She phoned to me at the front desk reporting the lost of the portable heater. I went immediatly to the room looking for it. As these people left the hotel quickly, we cannot report our complain. We wrote twice to them to report the lost of the portable heater. They never return us this item.
I would like to know why they extended 2 more nights if their stay was terrible ?
They wrote "the hotel accused us of stealing thuings...". Why they did not mention �the heater� instead of � things� that the hotel accused them of stealing while they known we claim the heater?
We own and operate ourself this hotel since 1981, (for 25 years) and our values are: Integrity, Excellence and Quality of services.
Please, publish my response as long as the comment entitle �Terrible experience� is published.
Thank you very much.

Jackbox Games has been busy. In addition to reviving the You Don't Know Jack franchise for modern consoles, it's also built an intriguing online infrastructure from the ground up. As an innovative way to solve the "controller problem" for fairly new platforms, Xbox One and PS4 owners can use their mobile devices (or anything that has internet access) to tap in and play with seven other people.
It's a really cool concept, and now Jackbox is poised to integrate it with Twitch for a full-on virtual party. Since the company is launching a Kickstarter for a brand new game that uses the same tech, I decided to reach out and pick CEO Mike Bilder's brain a bit.view full story + comments

I absolutely adored Titanfall, but going by the comments and blogs I've read over the past year, it seems like I'm the only person on Earth who did. Every article, news post, or blog written about the game invariably becomes a celebratory dance on its grave in the comments. While a lot of the ire is chalked up to hype backlash, a schadenfreude-rich reaction against all the positive preview coverage the game received pre-launch, I think it's safe to say the problems go deeper. Snarky comments are one thing, but it's hard to explain the empty servers, tepid response to updates, and lack of longevity without acknowledging that something about the game just didn't work.
Clearly Respawn messed up. Despite seeming like they had all the right elements to be the next big thing, Titanfall's mix of stompy robots and parkour commandos failed to light the world on fire. With the recent official announcement of the sequel, I've been wondering what they can do to win players back. Certainly going multi-platform is already a step in the right direction, but they'll have to make some big changes if they want to earn a real audience.
As a fan of the original, I have my own wishlist of features I would love to see in the sequel that just might help them put some more players in the cockpit of a Titan.view full story + comments
Nintendo is famous for frustrating some of their diehard fans. The irony is, those fans are only frustrated because Nintendo is doing a lot of things right. It may not let us buy a lot of their products, and it often takes its time with releasing the games we want, but the fact that we want those products and games in the first place speaks to Nintendo's skill at maintaining its relevance.
More than anything though, it's Nintendo's poker face that seems to bother people the most. It sometimes seems unaware of what fans want, but is that just an act, or is it just unwilling to tip its hand when pressed to tell us what it's up to?
Having spent the entirety of PAX East in the midst of an identity crisis, Samus finally broke down and demanded that Nintendo show some emotion. Does it love her anymore? Is it ever going to give her a starring role again? These are not easy questions to answer. The man fielding those questions on Nintendo's behalf was none other than Kit Ellis, co-host of The Nintendo Minute and Metroid superfan. While it's tough to top the signing of a Purple Pikmin, I think Kit did an equally excellent job in managing this bizarre encounter. Thanks again, Kit.
Without meaning to, Maddy "Samus" Myers and I ended up turning this What Samus Wants PAX East 2015 coverage into a full on spin-off of Samus and Sagat, complete with a three-act narrative. If you watch it from the beginning to end, the story is sort of reminiscent of Zoolander. That's pretty cool I guess.view full story + comments

Microsoft announced last week at GDC in San Francisco that it was introducing cross-play between Xbox One and Windows 10 devices. That opens a world of possibility in ways for developers to deliver games to their audience. Some will likely take full advantage; others will be more reserved. But, the option's there, nevertheless.
Following Xbox boss Phil Spencer's talk, I sat down with ID@Xbox program director Chris Charla to discuss what this new ecosystem meant for independent developers. There was a lot of ebb and flow to the conversation, but the main takeaway was "There's a place for [indie devs] -- no matter what size or scale the game is -- on Windows 10."
Charla was the man that was brought aboard by Microsoft almost two years ago to try to keep Xbox in the never-ending arms race to court independent developers. The Xbox 360 generation saw Microsoft use up a lot of goodwill in that department, and it needed to re-establish its name. That's what ID@Xbox was built for: to recruit developers that bring a different flair to the Xbox stable of games.view full story + comments

By the end of 2014, Xbox 360 had slid past Wii to become the best-selling seventh generation console in the US. While a fantastic achievement for Microsoft, this event also punctuates the drastic shift in Nintendo's market dominance. Where once Wii was on track to become the best-selling dedicated gaming console of all time, it's now all but forgotten.
There are various reasons why history played out the way it did, but at the end of the day, it's all about the games, and Wii's library had some pretty glaring holes. To be fair, there were a lot of fantastic games on Wii -- Nintendo itself published some of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful titles in company history, while several third parties were able to ride the wave to good fortune.
Sadly, the industry at large didn't support Wii in a manner befitting of a market leader, resulting in a legacy of wasted potential. Had these publishers done a better job in leveraging their biggest brands on the little white box, the current gaming landscape could have been much different.view full story + comments

TEMECULA: Plan will make Old Town more pedestrian-friendly
New sidewalks, stop signs, parking lots should making
Traffic crawls down Old Town Front Street. It has for a while and construction of the Civic Center made it worse because it cut off the Mercedes Road shortcut.
Longtime residents know this and they plan accordingly. In a hurry? Trying to avoid Interstate 15? Better to take Ynez Road.
Have some time to kill? Queue up on Old Town Front Street with everyone else, enjoy the people watching and luxuriate in the smells of grilling burgers wafting from the various restaurants.
City officials are aware of this traffic situation ---- they call it "levels of service that operate below a level of service D" ---- and they are trying to do something about it, while leaving alone the smell of grilling burgers.
Patrick Richardson, director of planning and redevelopment, said the city included in the Old Town Specific Plan, a document approved by the council this week, a direction to add stop signs and traffic lights on Old Town Front Street as development occurs.
This action will make Old Town Front Street ---- over time ---- less of an option as a bypass and, in turn, make it more hospitable for pedestrians.
"They both have priority in the district," he said.
In addition to the section on traffic, the expansive specific plan document spells out in minute detail how the city will regulate development and commerce in Old Town Temecula.
For instance, it defines where a large hotel will be permitted, how many stories buildings will be allowed to rise in the district's core and where new apartments will be located.
Assistant City Manager Bob Johnson explained the city's efforts on traffic in Old Town in terms of righting a longtime imbalance that had tilted in the favor of motorists.
If future development follows the document's script, walking in Old Town Temecula won't be hazardous or a chore. It should be enjoyable.
-- Women in high heels won't have to struggle over the historic district's wooden boardwalk, a feature that was added to give the area more of an Old West feel. As development moves forward, the city will mandate the removal of that boardwalk and the installation of stamped concrete sidewalks that conform to the size and specifications of other sidewalks in Old Town.
-- Businesses will be nestled next to the edge of the sidewalk to allow for window shopping. This change will eliminate, eventually, the hodgepodge that currently exists, with some businesses set far back from the street and others abutting the street.
-- Parking should be much more plentiful due to plans for new parking garages and regulations that will require new buildings to provide a dedicated space per housing unit.
-- Crossing the street should also be easier, as the plan calls for the addition of stop signs and street lights.
Councilwoman Maryann Edwards said the current setup ---- stop signs at Sixth and Main streets ---- force visitors to cross Old Town Front Street in midblock, a situation that, Edwards said, is "problematic."

The first trading session of Samvat 2069 ended on a weak note as the BSE benchmark Sensex erased early gains to close nearly 52 points lower at 18,618.87 in the special 75-minute Diwali Muhurat trading on Tuesday after investors preferred to book profits to start new accounts.
After lifting the Sensex nearly 60 points to 18,732.71 at the outset, the momentum quickly evaporated on profit selling and weak global market trends. Sensex closed 51.47 points, or 0.28 per cent, lower at 18,618.87.
Out of the 30-share Sensex, 13 stocks including Bharti Airtel, RIL and ONGC gained while 17 counters, including Tata Motors, HDFC, Infosys and SBI closed with losses.
Investors were seen cautious amid negative factors like contraction in industrial output and higher inflation and disappointing quarter earnings by leading companies, said dealers.
Brokers said a weak trend in overseas markets on reports of a dispute between international lenders threatening to further delay an aid payment to Greece, also influenced the Indian market.
The wide-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty declined by 16.75 points, or 0.29 per cent to 5,666.95 led by stocks of IT, realty and banking sectors.
Indices had last closed with losses on Muhurat trading in 2007 when Sensex had slipped 150 points and Nifty by 36 points.
